Colttmlmsi d-iuj uirtr-^w. t?* ifv*—yii columbus; oa i FRIDAY DECEMBER 28, 1877. LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION and non: than TWICE THE LARGEST AGGREGATE CIIICD1.ATION ! 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- oftlee funds. The Deinoerutie majority in Charleston in the Mayoralty election on Wednesday week, was 3,000. Ma jor W. W. Hale wus the successful eanidate for Mayor. Cornelius Tobin threw u lighted kerosene lamp at Mrs. Mary Li. Me- Kegan, in Boston on Tuesday, setting her clothes on fire, and she burned to death. Tobin was arrested. —— -» w 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. independent* in oeokuia. All Independent in Georgia is simply h Democrat who refuses to submit to 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. «*rs rrs siserare rom tOTTO\ 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. TOM EWING. an /jiTzirfEir /.v nnien he MAHF.S HOME INTKEESTINfi STATEMENTS, Condition of tbe Repeal Bill. tbeHllrer Bill and Mallhewa' Nlleer Resolution- Probable Arlloa or Ibe Senate I poll Ibe Repeal Hill—Ha?a* Will Not Veto F.llber Reaaure—War tlpaa Hie Na tional Banka lobe Brian al liner. 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 notes pass the House?” “This is not certain. erydny, however, increases our sSengtli, for the people are waking iyp their Rep- « l 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 meat pi ' gold oil 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.” HoRtettfr'a Almanac.

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.
