The H|x>nker of the Hnuth Carolina
House of Delegates is only 27 years
old. His ability is highly spoken of.
Postmaster Clarke, of Hernan
do, Miss., was garrotod Saturday
night while going home und robbed
of six hundred dollars and the |>oat-

Tollf.r, Holton & Co., of Cincin
nati, have filed a petition in bankrupt
cy. Diabilities are $382,000; assets at
a low estimate are $189,000. Most of
the creditors are in New York.
The New York Sun gave elaborate
rejtorts of the reception of ex-Uover-
nor Hayes in New York, but never
once alluded to the presence of the
President of the United States in that
city. t
A negro was hung near Nichols-
ville, Ky., Tuesday morning by
mob. His crime was attempting to
murder John Denter, a groeerof East
Hickman, into whose head he drove
on axe while Denter was selling
gpods.

The Town House and Wlnthroj
Church, Massachusetts, adjoining
were destroyed liy fire Tuesday. The
Town House eontained the town li
brary and offices, it was valued at
$30,000. Doss of Winthrop Church i
unknown ; insured for $20,000.

On the Ht. I.ouix and Southeastern
Railroad a heavy freight train got
started by itself down n long, steej
grade. It soon gained tremendous
headway, and chased a |>as.-enger
train so closely that a speed of n mile
a minute was necessary for the latter
in order to escape a disaster.
The baby show business has not
elsewhere proved as profitable as in
New York. In Philadelphia the
managers lost $500, although they did
not pay any of the promised prizes,
in Baltimore there was a deficit, and
the mothers got no money, in Bos
ton the project lias been abandoned.
The New Orleans picayune of
Tuesday says that the freeze on the
29th of November did immense dam
age to tlie Louisiana sugar crop. The
cold was severe enough to freeze the
juice in the standing cane, and this
is something unusual to oucur in No
vember. The loss is est imated at 40,-
000 hogsheads.
The residence of Dr. D. W. Mc
Carthy, in Cincinnati, was entered
Monday and $10,(MM) worth of notes
and valuable papers carried off'. It is
surmised liy the Doctor Unit the bur
glary wus planned for the purpose of
securing papers hearing upon a recent
sensational scandal ease, as six large
envelopes containing the correspond
ence relative to that case, were taken.
Assistant Burgeon Draper, who
lias been restored by Secretary
Thompson to ids rank in the navy,
after having been dropped thirteen
years ago, wus forced to resign by
Secretary Welles in February, 1860,
because lie took dinner with a Con
federate prisoner who had been per
mitted to visit some mutual friends of
Draper and himself in Baltimore.
Secretary Thompson holds that
Welles’ proceedings in the ease were
illegal, ami consequently Draper will
get his buck pay, amounting to $20,-
000- a perfectly legitimate claim,
which is creating quite a row among
the Republican papers, which urge
that Draper was a "rebel sympa
thizer.”
Mrs. Bowman, wife of John B.
Bowman, Mayor of East Ht. Louis,
shot herself on the 24th, uuil died al
most Instantly. Mayor Bowman bus
been at loggerheads with the City
Council for some time past, and his
wife, fearing lie would be assaulted,
has been in tlie habit lately of going
to liis office in the evening tn accom
pany him home. At the Inquest'it
was shown that she carried-* pistol in
tier bosom on such occasions, und it
is thought from the nature of tli
wound and direction of tlie ball that
while disrobing, at night, the weapon
was accidently discharged. The hull
entered above the left breast and
rangisl downward, passing through
tlie heart.
Jack Tyler, a swindling saving*
hunk President, of San Francisco,
has followed the example of Henry
Meiggs, and sailed away over tlie bil
lows of tlie broad Pool lie, leaving
creditors and bondsmen in tlie lurch.
Jack’s mi t hod of Investment was pe
culiar, if not wholly original. He
loaned the assets of the bank on jew
elry, diamonds, silver and gold plate,
pearl Btuds, stocks, in fact, almost
anything of value, and then he
pawned or sold the valuables. In lids
way he managed to make a double
profit. This worked very well until
the people who had obtained loans
came with their money and demand
ed their securities, while tlie deposi
tors, who hud become suspicious, also
clamored for cash. Then tlie bunk
suspended, and Jack Tyler was pros
ecuted criminally. It is supposed lie
Will fetch up in Panama.
ANYTHING BUT A SMOOTH ROAD.
The developments of tlie last few
weeks have shown Mr. Hayes that
he has anything hut a smooth road to
travel. General Butler has made his
siH-ech, in which he openly declares
war on the Administration. He as
equally expresses Ids preference for the
silver hill, and that if Mr. Hayes
chooses to exercise ids veto it'
will puss by tlie requisite majority.
Again we have the voice of tlie Ad
ministration that it will not consent
to be controlled by Senator Conkling
in the New York appointments, and
new names will be sent to the Senate.
This, no doubt, will afford a vigorous
fight. The salvation of Conkling con
sists in his victory over the Adminis
tration. Let him miss a single
point, let him lose a single trick and
the victory belongs U> Mr. Hayes to
whom lie is uvowed as an open ene
my. Then, we have tlie statement
that Evarts and his friends are con
spiring for the removal of Schurz
from the Cabinet. The whole affair
is complicated and the Congress will
have an abundance' of difficulties
witli which to occupy themselves the
next session. Mr. Hayes may claim
he is doing the best for the country;
hut when his appointments for our
Htutc ure opposed liy both our Sena
tors it behooves Southern men to
wateh him closely. He lias been
defeated once through the indiffer
ence of the South. He can do us no
hurm. We want him arrayed in op
position (o our best interests. He
favored Kellogg, Corbin and anybody
to beat Eustis. Now let
him find ids supporters where
he can, . only we hope South
ern Representatives will scorn to
supjsirt him. We trust none of the
South will aid him. Let him seek
Ids ullies from Kellogg and the crowd
lie favors. We want no Tylerism at
this stage of tlie game. Let us have
an open enemy like Conkling, not a
double-faced enemy like Hayes. We
can place tlieone. The other has shown
Ills false colors. Kelloggand that crew
ure the creatures that Mr. Hayes
chooses. We would rather have
Conkling with ids declared enmity.
General Butler, of South Carolina,
charges that Hayes opposed him with
nil ids might and that lie advanced
tlie interests of Kellogg in all lie
could; yet tlie Fraud asks .Southern
Democrats to vote for his nominees.
If he lie a man, can he think they
will help him? Bather give us tlie
manly foe, such as Conkling.

All Independent in Georgia is simply

machine politics. Most frequently lie
Is a better Democrat und man than the
one who has received a put nomination.
Woro lie to siiv lie was not a Democrat,
or that lie was in favor of forming a
new party, lie would bo beaten so badly
lie would regret sadly over starting the
race. Our Independents simply mean
they will not ho controlled by oUquos.
They aro all the members ol' the only
party wo know in Georgia—tlie Demo
cratic.— Enquirer-Sun, 20Hi.
In other words, Mr. Editor, and In
furtherance of the same idea, you en
force in the foregoing the people of
Georgia are beginning to realize and
act on tlie maxim that the reason for
a thing ceasing the thing itself should
cease. The reason universally urged
for nominations is to secure party
unity and prevent party defeat. As
long therefore as opposition is formid
able, and cupabtc of making itself
substantially felt, party policy would
suggest nominations. But how stands
the opposition to the Democratic par
ty in Georgia? It evidently stands
ready to accept tlie )>olitioal situation,
and to vote for suitable and conserva
tive men, even though they Vie pro■
nounced Democrats, if it is not con
stantly invited to array itself in an
tagonism to Democracy, by these oft
repented and needless nominations.
Tlie Democratic party of Georgia is
in a state of exuberant health, and
needs no medicine in the shape of
conventions; and if tlie wire-pullers
persist in demanding machine work
when the people are calling for the
hand-made, the state of tilings for
which Republicans hope Is likely soon
to be brought about. Georq ia.
The present intrigue has In view
mi attempt on tlie part of Evarts’
friends, even If he himself Is not a
party to it, to shift much of tlie re
sponsibility for what has been dis
tasteful to Conkling and other Re
publicans acting with him in tlie
Senate to the shoulders of Schurz.
They have gone so far its to declare
to Conkllug’s friends, and to print
tlie statement, that Secretary Schurz
and not Mr. Evarts was responsible
for llie President’s sending the New
York nominations in the second
time. The intimation to Conkllng’s
friends lias been that Evarts, after the
result In the Senate, was quite ready
to accept tlie logic of the situation and
to advise the President that it was
bis duty to heed tlie voice of the Sen
ate and neither renominate the de
feated Custom-house appointees nor
send ill new names.

Tbe fcoNlh'a Interest la Tar I IT Rtfora.
The present Tariff taxes tlie Cotton
Planter three-quarters of a cent on
every yard of Jute Ragging lie uses,
and tills is accomplished by a duty of
six dollars per ton on Jute Butts, the
raw material from which Jute Bag
ging is made.
By abolishing this duty on Jute
Butts, the Planter not only gains by
cheapening the cost of Bagging to
tlie extent mentioned, but secures a
lietter article, by rendering it less
profitable to manufacture the com
mon Grass or Straw (Flax toe) Bag
ging—about the use of which there is
so much complaint from dealers and
spinners.
It is, therefore, to the evident ad
vantage of the whole Cotton-growing
section that any legislation on the
subject of import duties should pro
vide for the admission of Jute Butts
"free of duty,” and we truBt that our
representatives at the National Capi
tal will see the Importance of this
matter, and use all their Influence to
free the Cotton States from this tax.
Friends of this measure have no time
to lose; all interested should agitate
the subject at once, as a Congressional
committee is now at work in Wash
ington on the revision of the tariff.

Gen. B. F. Butler said in an ad
dress to the Middlesex Club, Boston,
last Saturday evening: “In sixty
days the silver bill will have become
a law of the laud. It will pass Con
gress, anti If the President vetoes it—
and I don’t believe he will—It will
pass the House by a three-fourths vote
und ip the Senate there will be enough
strength to puss it over tlie veto.”
He predicted great prosperity as the
result of the passage of the bill. Of
Southern aflliirs he said: Tlie news-,
papers, os you are aware, have won
dered why I have kept still. I will
state to you confidentially, that it
was because I think it best. In a
talk with the President last March I
found lie was imbued with the idea
that he could build up the Republi
can party in the South. I thought
afterward he might know more about
it than T did, und I would not inter
fere with a fulr trial of the experi
ment. He still seems to have Hint
belief, and is honest in it. I do not
believe it cun succeed, and probably
almost all Republicans have the
same feelings. We must remember
that the truth is never spoken in the
White House. When people go to
the White House to ask favors, they
naturally say to the President that he
is all right, and that tlie people are
with him and are supporting him. I
have appeared in tlie unusual role of
pacificator. People have come to me
and remonstrated against the Presi
dent’s course, and I have said wait a
little while and see how it will work.
That bus been the attitude of the Re
publican party in Congress. It is
strange that the President does not
see tlie true Rtate of things.” He said
civil service reform was laughed at
in Washington as a huge joke.
Representative Burchord, of the
ways and means committee, ex
presses himself in ftivor of the restor
ation of tlio income tax, and says
that Randolpli Tucker, of Virginia,
liis associate on tlie sub-committee
preparing the tax portion of the reve
nue bill, is agreed with him. The
proposition will be reported favora
bly to tbe full committee, nnd tbe
eJmnces are largely in favor of its
getting into tlie bill, and so through
tbe House. It will start with friends
from both parties in the West and
South, and will secure aid from all
who wish to lower taxes on whiskey
and tobacco. Individual members of
the sub-committee of the ways and
meads committee are occupying the
recess in drafting and formulating
their views on different topics as
signed to them, so that tlie general
bill may be completed and reported to
the House at an early day after the
recess. Mr. Wood, chairman of the
committee, is in Washington.
Columbus, (O.,) special to tin- Cincinnati En
quirer,]
“The impression seemsto have gone
abroad generally that you made a
serious mistake in handling tlie Re
peal Bill; that you blundered because
of a lack of parliamentary knowl
edge.”
"Yes. I know such impression
prevuils, but such was not tlie ease. I
suffered under the embarrassment of
being a new member, but I took no
step Til the dark. I advised constant
ly with Mr. Harry Smith, the Journ
al Clerk of the House, who enjoys the
reputation of being one of the best
parliamentarians connected with Con
gress, but in doing this it seems I
made a mistake. It has been custom
ary for members wishing information
upon any of tlie many perplex! lg
rules of tl'ifi House toconsultwith Mr,
Meliliane, one of tlie stenographer > of
tlie House. When tlie bill was re
ported from the committee, it was
placed before the House in the most
thvorable manner. I was harassed
and annoyed by conflicting counsel,
as is usual under tlie circumstances:
Mr. Handall ruled that tlie morning
hour meant sixty minutes, uconstruc
tion that bus not held in the Housq
for some time.”
"I met ex-Speaker Blaine on Thurs
day, and asked him what your blun
der was. He talked over tlie matter
at some length, and said you had the
bill right where you wanted it. That
you did not want it taken out of the
'morning hour. He says you could
have held the Houae by the throat
ami compelled action, and blocked all
business, appropriation bills not ex
cepted, until your measure was dis
posed.”
“Well, our majority was a little
shaky. We could not depend upon
it at all times, and I deemed it best
for tiie safety of the measure to
make concessions."
NO CONCESSIONS to THE BANKS.
“I notice that in some of tlie papers
that your committee is criticised us
having made a concession to tlie na
tional banks by accepting the Fort
amendment. Morrison, of Illinois,
and others, I believe, so charge.”
“That arises from a total miscon
ception. The Currency Committee’s
bill to repeal tlie Resumption Act
ami tlie Fort amendment were pre
cisely tlie same in legul effect. The
committee's Dill did not impair free
banking, and was not designed so to
do. Aye proposed in our bill to repeal
the whole resumption bill first, leav
ing tlie fight for the substitution of'
greenbacks for National Bank notes
to be brought on by a separate bill,
which tlie committee will report
some time in January. Tlie Fort
amendment accomplished exactly
the purpose of our bill, nnd we ac-
cepted ft, because there were seven
Republicans who would vote for tlie
Fort amendment that would not
vote for the bill. They were shaky
on the resumption question uny how,
und said, though our hill did not real
ly strike ut free banking, the people
thought it did, und they therefore
demanded tlie Fort amendment.
AVe would have played Into tlie
hands of the forced resumptionists if
we had suffered a defeat of the
proposition to repeal the resumption
scheme, rather than win n victory
by a mere chunge of “phraseology.*’
“But, General, why didn’t the
committee frame its bill so ns to both
repeal the Resumption Act and suit-
stitute greenbacks for bunk notes ?”
“That would have been eertuin de
feat for both propositions. You see a
lurge i«art of tlie thirty Republicans
and a few of tlie Democrats who
voted to repeal the resumption
scheme ure in favor of national bank
currency. On tlie other sand, strange
as it may seem, there nrtHsonie Demo
crats who favor forced Resumption
that are dead against banl\ currency.
The two propositions, tliejtfore, had
to he kept separate to glvt£lther the
slightest chance of success
"Will your committee’eMu renewed
bill to substitute greenbnckjffor bunk

“This is not certain.

All persons interested in the sub
ject of cancelling church debts should
take as their exemplar Rev. Edward
Kimball, of Chicago, So great has
been the success of this divine in liis
efforts that he lias earned ihe soubri
quet of “the church debt 'extinguish
er." On Sunday last he began tlie
work of extinguishing the enormous
debt of $230,000 hanging over the
church of tlie Holy Trinity, New
York, (Dr. Tyng's ). He held meet
ings which continued all day and
evening, with brief intermissions for
lunch, which was served In the base
ment of the church. At the end of
the services the offerings footed up
the very large sum of $150,017 15.
This is Mr. Kimball’s greatest achieve
ment at any one effort, and he feels
so much efioouraged that lie will con
tinue at Ills task until tliculvbt is en
tirely cleared off.
Love, ns a rule, is intensely selfish.
Not so, however, that of Johann He-
ingleinan, of Cincinnati, who, coin
ing across (lie ocean recently, became
acquainted with a fair young coun
trywoman, wooed und won her. But
at that very time tlie girl was coming
over at the invitation of a former
sweetheurt, and to whom, on reach
ing Cincinnati, her heart again turn
ed. And what did Johann do? Did
lie swear and break the furniture and
make a fool ot himself as a less self-
contained person might have done?
Not at ail. Not only did he not do
these things, but he gave away the
happy bride, and even insisted on
pnying all the wedding expenses.
For fourteen months diptheriu lias
been raging furiously ill Northwest
ern Vermont, and the scourge shows
no signs of abating. About 40 per
cent, of the children in Burlingtou
between one year and twelve have
laid the disease in that time, and
three undertakers report 198 burials
where it was tlie cause of death.
Whittier says: “It is not true, as
lias been said, that I dash off my
writing rapidly and send it to tlie
printer without any correction. I
don’t believe anybody does Hint, or
has a right to do it.”
“AA’hat ftm they do make of
Davis. The idea of one man be
tween the two great parties of the
country, each with four million of
votes, a standing criticism upon
them. He will he ground between
the upper and nether millstones,
though lie be
resentatives by letters and petitions,
and personal appeals, and I think it
probable that the bill will this pass
session. This much will be accom
plished at least. We will force the
Issue, and let the people see whether
their Representatives ure for green
backs or banking currency in time
for the nominations and elections for
Congress next year.”
“Did the Republicans who voted
for tiie repeal bill stand firmly by
you?"
"Not all of them. Mills Gard
ner, of this State, did splendid work
for tlie bill, and deserves the thanks
of Ids constituents. There were at
least seven Republicans who voted
for tlie bill who wanted it beaten.
These men came near making the
hill ridiculous by voting for the
Wood amendment, which was only
defeated by one vote. This amend

ment proposed to pay all laborers in
m the 1st of January, 1879, und
prepared.by the friends of the meas
ure.” The General took from . hi*
pocket-book a piece of paper and
called the roll. '
The following Democrats are op-
]>osed to the bill: Barnum and Eaton,
of Connecticut; Randolph and Mc
Pherson, of New Jersey; Kernan, of
New York; Bayard and .Salisbury, of
Delaware; one from Maryland; Hill,
of Georgia, and Lamar, of Mississip
pi— totui, 10. The remainder of tlie
Democratic Senators will vote for tbe
bill. Tlie following Republicans are
known to be for the bill: Cameron,
of Pennsylvania; Strong, Ferry,
Oglesby, Davis, Ingalls, Plumb, Dor
sey, Spencer, Patterson, Conover,
Jones and Booth. It is thought that
Matthews, Kirkwood, AVindom, Mc
Millan and Wright will vote for the
bill. Without the doubtful ones, the
bill will have thirty-eight votes for it
in the Senate as it comes from the
House.
the silver question.
"AVliat is the condition of the sil
ver bill passed by the House?
"It is in tbe hands of the Senate
finance committee, and will be re
ported to tbe Senate after the recess
with two amendments. One pro
poses to let- the Government buy sil
ver bullion ut the market price and
give tlie Government the benefit of
tlie seigniorage, and the other pro
poses to limit tlie amount of silver
coined by tlie Government to not
more than four millions and not less
than two millions per month. The
last uuiendmeut. will be defeated in
the Semite.”
MATTHEWS’ RESOLUTION.
“Doesn’t Matthews’ concurrent
resolution come up before the silver
bill?” •
“Yes.”
“Will it pass both houses?”
“It Will:”
“AVliat will be the effect of this
action of Congress on President
Hayes?”
“It will pull his teeth and leave no
reason for him to veto tlie silver bill.
In bis message, Hayes’ argument
against the remonetization of silver
was that it would be wronging the
bondholders who had bought bonds
on a gold busis. The adoption of
Matthews’ concurrent resolution In
tbe two Houses is a notice to tlie
world by the representatives of the
American people that all bonds
bought in future are purchased oil a
silver basis. This forces Sherman’s
funding operations down to u silver
foundation. This removes Hayes’
principal objection to the restoration
of the silver dollar.”
“AA’ill Hayes veto the silver bill?”
“I think not, and if he does it will
be passed by both houses over his
veto.”
“AVill he veto tlie repeal hill if it
passes the Senate?”
“I hardly think lie will.”
"General, tlie Washington special
in to-day’s Enquirer contains some
very grave charges against Sherman’s
underhanded manner of trifling with
the nation’s credit. It charges that
he lias not honestly endeavored to
place tlie four per cent, bonds on the
market, and It says you have pre
pared a resolution looking to an in
vestigation of tlie matter."
Tlie General read tlie telegram and
said: “I know nothing about your
Washington correspondent's charges
against Sherman of transacting busi
ness with tlie Syndicate. I have a
resolution which I propose offering
when Congress convenes again. It
authorizes the banking and currency
committee of tlie House to investi
gate tlie transactions of the Syndicate
and find out, if possible, how much
gold there is in the Treasury and the
national banks with which to resume
when resumption day comes. I had
this resolution ready to offer on the
last Monday before' Congress adjourn
ed, but AVood got the floor, und the
House went into committee of the
whole on the President’s message,
und I was shut out, although Randall
had agreed to recognize me.”
“AATiat’s going to become of
Hayes?”
“I think they will crowd him to
tlie wall when Congress meets again.
Tlie Blnine-Conkling crowd mean
fight, and the result will be that
Hayes will weaken and make terms.”
As tlie General had evidently been
figuring on ids Senatorial prospects,
and had not completed his footings
when I interrupted him, I left him
to Ills misery!
Mr. Beecher, in last Sunday’s
sermon, thus answered the question
“Is there a hell?” “ Yes, there is, not
only here, but hereafter. It does not
stop here, and those who substitute
tbe mere formalities of religion for
religion itself will find that there is a
hell hereafter.”

“Tlie bill, then, as it passed the
House, defeats Sherman's resump
tion scheme?”
“Yes; it wipes it out eutirely and
does not leave a vestige.”
THE BILL IN THE SENATE.
“AVliat show does tlie Dill stand in
tiie Senate, Uenerai?”
“It is now ill the hands of the com
mittee of finance, of which Morrill,
of Vermont, is cliuirman. There are
nine Senators on this committee.
Morrill, Dawes of Massachusetts,
Kernan of New York, and Bayard of
Delaware, are set down as opposed to
tlie bill; Ferry of Michigan, Jones of
Nevada, Voorhees of Indiana, and
Wallace of Pennsylvania, are said to
favor it, as it comes from the House,
and Allison, of Iowa, holds the bal
ance of power. It will only get out
of the committee with amendments,
and tlie character of these depends
much upon Allison's Views. Two
amendments are proposed that will
probably be reported with the bill to
the Senate. One proposes to limit
tlie amount of greenbacks to be issued
to the present volume of $314,000,000,
and fixes the date for resumption
some time beyond January, 1879.
The other provides ‘that the banks
shall provide a redemption fund from
the income of their Government
bonds, and that tlie greenbacks, after
redemption, maybe reissued.’ ”
