More Democrats Unseated.-“-The House

Democratic sitting members from the first
Georgia district and the filth Virginia dis
tricts— Messrs. Rawls and Davis—and seating
tLeir Republican contestants, Messrs, bloan
nnd Thomas.
The latest sensation is an advertisement
iu a Gainesville paper offering for sale
•'twenty Georgia raised males.” The idea of
a Georgia planter raiding anything for sale
except cotton, and only enough of that to pay
for Lit* year's snpply of bread, meat and gu
ano, seems a heavy draft npon tbe pnhl 0
credulity. But the advertisement actually
appeared, and had the name of a very respec
table and responsible gentleman affixed to it,
Captain J. S. Nichols, of Nachooche Valley,
to whom all honor he given.

We are gratified to be able to state that
Ex;iu i e interpesit on has saved the people
of Georgia from a legislative measure hardly
1 as baleful in it* practical effects open the
cause of law and order than the free pardon
system of Bullock. We allade to the hill de
claring the validity of former decisions of the
Supreme Court making juries on criminal
trials judges of both the law and the facts.
The hill has been overruled by Governor
Smith, aud for reasons most satisfactory,
which will be given to the public in the
course of a few days.

Mn. Stephens and the Great Law Suit.
We have fully shared in the public sarprise
that after a full and free relinquishment in
writing by Mr. Stephens of his interest in the
State Road lease to the State of Georgia, and
its acceptance by the Governor of the State,
that he should now come forward and lay
claim to the alienated property on no better
ground than the fact that the State subse-
q lently disposed of it withont consulting him
and in a manner not to his liking.
It will be seen from our Washington spe
cial, published this morning, ihut Mr.
Stephens denies all knowledge of the suit,
and has written to Gen. Toombs for an ex
planation. Iu dne time we shall probably
hear from Gen. Toombs on the subject. To
sav the least, the case presents a singular as
pect at present.
DAVI4 AND JOHNSTON.
ll is to bo regretted that certain indiscreet
friends of these two distinguished Southern
ers, respectively, seem determined, if possi
ble, to get op a public controversy between
them. We have seen from time to time,
especially in the Western press, articles tend
ing m that direction. We have no
thought that these articles meet
the approval either of Mr.
Davis or General Johnston, and so far both
have had tbe good sense and discretion to
pay no attention to them. But this crimina
tion aud recrimination in tbe public prints,
cal ing.into question tbe acts of Mr. Davis or
Goneral Johnston on this or that occasion, is
both unnecessary and calculated eventually to
lead to a personal collision that would not be
creditable to tbe South, but full of pain to
very good citizen.
The groundwork of these comments is no
more substantial a thing than a supposition
that in bis forthcoming work on the war,
General Johnston may have attacked Mr.
Davis. The book has not yet come from tbe
prei'H, and we have never seen a line of tbe
maiiQseiipt, but we have good reason for tbe
belief that General Johnston makes no such
attack in his work, and that when it appears
the lovers of strife will inert with a sore dis
appointment. If we are sorrect in this opin
ion, how fcoilsh the attempt to embroil two
distinguished patriots, both of whom enjoy
ho much of the public respect and affection !
Washington, March 3, 1874.
i Bard is charged to-day with having effected
j a combination with Simmons' friends to effect
his confirmation. He will remain here a

i Minister Scrnggs arrived last night on a
j thirty days’ leave, at the expiration of which
| time he will return, carrying his family. He
will visit Atlanta.
The President was again visited to-day and
urged to remove Farrow. He has called for
the items of expenditures made by Farrow.
The movers against Farrow are sanguine of
success and allege that Grant will obey the
will of tbe people so unmistakably pro
nounced and remove this officer who seems
so obnoxious to all good citizens.
Freeman says that Bard's confirmation is
the death-knell to Republicanism in Geor-
gia.
The Senate Commerce Committee favor the
confirmation of Clayton.
Fisher will be confirmed to Beirut.
The Sloan vs. Riwls vote will be taken

Mr. Stephens is better to-night
At a dinner party of prominent Western
politicians to-night, includi ng several Sena
tors and Representatives, a mention of the
same of Gordon, of Georgia, lor Vice Presi
dent, was received with cheers, and taken as
an earnest of peace and good will.
We inquired to-day of Mr. Stephens, rela
tive to the bill filed iu Fulton Superior Court
in his name against the Western and Atlautic
Railroad and Hazlehurst, about which great
inquiry is made. Mr. Stephens .-ays he knows
nothing whatever of the 9ait, and that imme
diately npon receiving notice of it, he wrote
to General Toombs, inquiring npon what
grounds and for what object be bad used bis
name. No reply has been received to this
letter. Specks.

Rome, Ga., March 2, 1874.
Our city was shocked yesterday by a terri
ble tragedy. Mr. Buchanan, a worthy me
chanic at the Gas Works, his little
son and Mr. F*urt Allen, were in a
small shell boat taking an evening lide on the
Oostanaula. As the boat was passing under
the bridge, the eddy around one of the piers
caught it and upBet it. As the three occu
pants fell into the water Allen cried out, “You
swim ashore ! I’ll take care of your child.”
"All right, ” replied Buchanan, and he
struck out for land, baviDg his pipe in bis
month, audpuffiogas he swam. When nearly
to the shore he heard his child scream, and
thiuking he was drowning, turned aud swam
up the river towards him, when he suddenly
sank, (with Lis pipe still in bis month,)
strangled, sank again and was drowned.
Allen swam ashore, with young Buchanan
in safety. Buchanan was highly thought of.

Fatal Affray Over a Game of
Cards.
Unanswerable Financial Logic.—A cor
respondent of tbe New York Financier says:
If the Secretary of the Treasury was in
structed to receive greenbacks and other
nation »1 currency from and after the first
day of July, 1874. in payment for duties on
import* and all other dues to tbe government,
that larfor«* tbe first day of May following,
gold would not be over i to 1 per cent, pre
mium; brcar.se no business man in this conn-
try hue any nse lor gold excepting for that
one purpose of payYng duties on imports.
1 hen there being no buyers there could be no
eaib rs. Aud commereo is regulated by tbe
l«w ot supply and demand, which is just ss
unerring bh the laws of natnre. This mode
would hull both tbe resumptionists and the
iiifl itiouirtts, for it would make money more
plenty and of good quality.
The Peteinbnrg News nays:
If there were 800,000,000 of new dollars
now in the Federal Treasury ready for deliv
ery, we cannot see how its circulation could
properly be controlled by tbe legislation of
Congrets. It a distribution of that immense
nnm of money were made to-morrow by Con
gress among the States, and $100,000,000
were voted as Virginia's share; wo do not un-
dt-rstand bow one dollar o! it could ever reach

dnee to bay it and bring it here !

In the Legislature to-day an act passed
both Houses repealing the election law

This is regarded as a fair law.

Senator FENTON, presented a memorial
from a large number of leading business men
of New York, expressing alarm at the unlawful
action of the Becretary ot tha Treasury in
issuing the revenues that never before bad
any civilized government resorted to putting
out irredeemable paper currency in times ot
peace, and asking Congress to immediately
prohibit tbe Secretary from issuing any mare
of the reserve, and to withdraw at oqcj the
amount issued to this date. R eferred to the
committee on finance.
Senator FENTON said the signers to the
memorial represented at least $500,000,000.
Senator WEST submitted a resolution in
structing the Committee on Contingent Ex
penses to inquire as to the propriety of furn
ishing each Senator with a copy of the text
book published by W. H. & O. H. Morrison,
also including the national banking laws and
information concerning tbe public debt.

main.
Tbe bill was amended by adding a proviso
t that no o«th should be required ot any one
deairing to secure a homestead, except the
oath to support the Constitution of tbe
United States. This was mainly for the ben
efit of the people in the dontbern States, who
under existing laws requiring tha taking ol
the iron-clad oath, eaunot avail themselves
of the benefit of tbe pre-emption laws.
Tbe bill also repeals tbe pre-emption laws.
It was farther amended by a proviso that
all Umds granted to railroads shall be subjfct

each roads have failed to comply with the
conditions of tbe grants.

Tbe present political campaign is the quiet
est ever known. No txcitoment whatever
aud little enthusiasm. The Republican
State Centennial Committee feel confident
that they will elect General McCntcheos by a
small majority, though they admit it is possi
ble there may be no election by the people.
Their canvass is complete for two hundred
towns And is about the same as last year.
The Chairman claims that they will carry
all the Senatorial Districts bnt three, giving
the Democrats the Tenth and Eleventh Dis-
tiicticts, and defeating the election in tbe
Sixth. He also claims a majority for the
House. At the Democratic headquarters,they
are equally confident aud claim to be able to
elect Weston by a good majority in the Sena
torial fight. They expect to curry
five districts and defeat an election
in the Tenth. There is a slight
interest manifested by the license men,
and pronibitionrits in the campaign, and
each have presented their views to soma ex
tent in public meetings.
The Republican ledders deny that Butler-
ism will affect, to ADy extent, their party iu
the State, while the Democratic managers
claim that it is gaining votes for them. The
prohibition vote, the Republican* admit,
will be large, and mostly from their ranks.

THE DAYENP0RTS.
They get in Trouble in New
Orleans.
Another Expose—Sinned Against
or Sinning.
From the New Orleans Picayune.
If this conundrum appears to involve any
unpleasant doubts of the Davenport Brothers,
those mercurial gentlemen will bava to blame
their own bad taste in the selection of agents
and not the skepticism of a pnblio whose cre
dulity and forbearance have already bean too
far tried.
When it was discovered on Friday that the
treasurer and agent of the distinguished
Spiritualists had Absconded with tha funds,
the Picayune extended the benefit of the
doubt, and made no mention of a mishap
which is liable to befall better men than the
Davenports. When, still later, one of the
brothers was himself “run in” ta that sinis
ter abode of epirits—good, bad or Indiffer
ent—
THE PARISH PRISON,
still did tbe Pioaynne refrain from all allusion
to tbe facts.
We might have felt sorry for the Daven
ports, or we might have feared that gentls-
men cn such intimate terms with the other
world would call assistance from tbe vasty
deep, not only io escape the vile da ranee of
mortal bonds, but to wreak a fearful pun
ishment ou their persecutors. We refuse to
say exactly what motives influenced ns—
merely stating the circumstance that we for
bore.
But we see no reason now for further
silence. The Davenports have had fair op
portunity to invoke spiritual ar substantial
aid, and to extricate themselves from a knot
which the most ordinary mortals find them
selves capable of untying-the knot of pe
cuniary obligation. A good many people
have trusted to their integrity, and just as
many people have been deluded.
The public placed unusual dependence on
THE DAVENPOBTS,
because of their capacity for performing won
derful achievements, never doubting that
gentlemen of such preternatural powers woald
be able to manage so ordinary a feat as tbe
payment of their debts. It did not strike us
as likely that an agent, however crafty, could
elude their far-seeing gaze, or escape beyond
their control with the filthy luore which, It
appears, the spirits hauker for as hungrily as
we do.
Mr. Housah’s occupation, hswever, is gone
now. It has fl*d before the practical if baser
test
OF BILLS UNPAID
and peelers thirsting for their prey. Two
commonplace mortals have defied their invo
cation, and tbe myrmidons of Jsstios Evan’s
Court have tied a knot which all the spirits
of the Davenports’ acquaintance were power
less to loosen. It has beeu a most inglorious
conclusion, and we feel somehow as though
the spirits were covered with hopeless contu
sion und disgrace.
We sympathize with innocent and confiding
persons who have lo*t money in this latest
Davenport expose, but, it the experienoe result
in rendering them aud all others who hear of
it, a little more careful how they put fiith in
spiritual or mortal frauds hereafter, we don’t
know that the wisdom will havs been too
dearly purchased.
Ihetr Atlanta Troubles.
Notwithstanding tbe fact that they won
their $100 bet made with Kelly, who tried in
vain to twist a knot which they could no* un
ravel, they left Atlanta bankrupt iu pocket,
leaving Colonel Nicholls, of the Kimball
House in possession of their baggage. We
learn from the clerks at tbe Kimball House
that their bill for board there is still unpaid.

The Maryland Twins.
TLe Baltimore Sun gives tLe following in
reference to female twins, born at Tobacco-
stick, Dorchester county, Maryland, on the
4th lust,, und who were joined at tho breust
iu a uinuuer regarded uh more wouderlul than
the Siamese twius:
The Dorchester twins wore of colored pa
rentage, the mother being Mary Travers, who
is now in excelieut health. Oue ot the twins
was alive at buth, aud died iu a tew seconds
thereafter. Tue other, when born, was dead.
The one first ushered into the world bore
the impress upon its face of a genuine negro,
while tbe complexion of the other was like
that of a white person, and the hair lef>s kinky
upon i's head than that adoruiug its sister.
Dr. La Count Smith, of Tobaco^atiok, became
possessed of the bodies ot the twins shortly
alter their birth, aud with th«m arrived iu
this city yesterday afternoon, for the purpose
of having the bodies properly preserved,
which will bo done l>y placing them iu au a«-
|uanuin-bhnped vessel filled with alcohol.
Last night tue Dorchester moustrosities were
exhibited at the office of Dr. J. H. Tall, in
presence of several medio.1 gentleman. Tbe
bond of union conueoting the bodies of the
twins extend lrom the centre ot the breast
hone to thomiVHl, thus placing the todies faoe
to lace. The bodies are well lormed, aud
weigh t< n pounds aud a half, and measure
ighteeu inches in length. The physicians
who were present g»veas their opinion that
ouch of the twins possessed separate stomachs,
hearts, livers, etc., and that u wall separated
the slmnnchs aloog that portion where the
boud ot uuion exists. The ouly case k on rec
ord w hero a similar bond of uuion ever exist
ed is iu the London Museum, aud like the
Dorchester novelty the twins were lemales.
Tbe New Orleans papers announce the
death of Col. A. W. Merriam, who was the
veritable ’’Bex,” or ’’King of tbe Carnival,"
about whom we had heard so inaoh. He left
the ball room at three o’clock in the moru
in/, and, at eight a. m., was found Tiry ill
with apoplexy. A nh>siciun was sent tor,
but before his arrival he had paseed away.

Demoralization at Jerusalem.-The London
correspondent of the Jewish Messenger says
that he is in reoeipt of a private letter from
Jerusalem, whch gives a s*d account of the
state of things in the Holy City. Beggars are
many, laborers few. It is, indeed, sad ,to hear
their continued descriptions from impartial
witnesses of the miserably, beggarly position
of the Jews of Jerusalem. A great deal of
the present misery of the Jerusalem Jews is
directly traced to tbe misplaced, ill-advised
generositr of the European Jews, who think
they are discharging a religious duty, as well
as performing a charitable act, by sending
money in the form of Cheluohah to Jerusa
lem. Old men, middle-aged men, ai^j even
young lads, w ho cau and ought to be made to
work for their living, centre their whole ob
ject iu life upon sharing in the funds obtain
ed from Jews outside of Jerusalem. The
worst of it is that the young children follow,
and, iu tact, are made to follow the pernicioos
example of their pareuts. There must even
tually come a time when concerted action will
be taken by tbe Jews of Europe upon this
question. Undoubtedly great good could be
done with the money now sent to Jerusalem,
if a better system of distribution were organ
ized. As it is, under the present system, the
money does much more harm than good.

A New Pilgrim age.—The New York Cath
olic Review says that it is tbe determination
of many leading Catholics ol the United
States to inaugurate a pilgrimage to Borne,
aud that tbe proposition meets with the ap
proval of archbishop of New York. The Re
view says:
From the first our only feurs for its suc
cessful accomplishment were based ou the dif
ficulty of inducing some suitable and promi
nent Cotholio organization to attend to the
grave nnd responsible duties ot its control and
direction, and to satisfy the ecclesiastical au
thorities that so momentous au undertaking
could be so managed as to reflect credit upon
tue Catholics of America, and to accomplish
wbat its projectors piously hoped forts its re
sults. This has now been done. The Catho
lic Uuion of New York, yielding to the urgen
cy ot the advocates of the measure—yielding
with a willingness which was only tempered
by that happy prudence which will run no
rush rioks even to tavor a most Catholic pro
posal— appointed a committee to ascertain the
state ot lay Catholic feeling in Amerioaon the
subject. The report was, as might be expect
ed, wholly satistactory —that a pilgrimage
properly conducted and organized would be
populur with our people, would donbtless ob
tain the good wishes Aud blessing of the hier
archy, and would be fruitful of good results. ”
Committees are Already preparing, and it it
proposed to start not later than the middle of
May.
