Parallel to the Close.—A few yean ago
some of the papers of this Stale commented
at length npon the remarkable resemblance
of the Tlchborne case, in England, to the
Jesse Binkley, case, which excited so mnch
interest in Georgia some twenty-five or thirty
years aco. The parallel now appears to be
complete. Li ce Bunkley (so-called) the
Tichborne claimant has not only lost his suit,
bat been sent to the State prison for ten
years as a swindler.
Health of Mb. Stephens.—Newspaper ac
counts from Washington continae to repre
sent Honorable Alex. H. Stephens as in very
precarious health, and wholly unable to at
tend to his daties in the House. We regret
to say that our private advices, received at
this office within the last few days, ore still
more unfavorable. It is feared by many that
our distinguished representative will never
a^ain resume his seat, his feeble frame being
uaablo to weather the present attack. This
news will be keenly felt throughout the State,
if not the whole South.
Wall acquainted with the constitution and
habits of Mr. Stephens, however, we entertain
a more hopeful view of his case than that
expressed by those whose acquaintance with
him is of recent date. A very slight attack
in the case of one so emaciated and apparently
feeble, would seem to strangers sufficient to
terminate his career ; but, with little strength,
he has a wonderful amonnt of vitality—bis
n.ore important organs being free from dis
ease. At any rate, we hope for better news
within the next few days, and that it will be
many years yet before Georgia shall be called
on to mourn the death of her honored son.

.'IK. II. II. HILL.
'ibis gentleman has been suggested by
parlies outbid# of the Diftiict, as a suitable
candidate for Congress in the Ninth Congress
ional District.
Whi e we have no objection to Col. Hill
personally, but, on the conirary, feel proud
of him p.s one of the ablest men not only of
onr State, but of our section, we regret
that he is being put forward by
oisiders. The people of our Dis
trict, just like the people of all other
diidricls, have an idea that they are folly ca
pable ot selecting candidates and eleetiug
Representatives without any assistance. Any
outside pressure, therefore, from Atlanta or
elsewhere, instead of aiding Colonel Hill will
operate as au obstacle in bis way. On his
account, we regret that this movement has
been not only prematurely commenced, but
tii-'.t it began in the wrong place.
Ii the gentlemen in Atlanta who are now
attempting to “run” the whole State, fear
they will rust in idleness, we would respect-
tully suggest that they Can find ample employ
ment at Lome in hunting up some gentleman
to ••stand” for Congress in their own District,
who can defeat the present Radical member
who represents the capital.
What has oar present faithful Ref resenta-
tiv* (Col. BA I) done, that he should be uncer
emoniously disposed of by outsiders ? We
Lave heard no complaint against him, and do
not think it even respectful to him to assume
that be wishes to retire,' without waiting to
learn his views.
We wi»h to be clearly understood in this
ruttie*’. We are-not taking position at this
time, either lor or against the Hon. B. H.
Hill, whom we regard as one of the foremost
men in America, and who ought to be in the
public service, but we do protest against
| Laving our own district affairs manipulated
by outsiders.
This is the b inner Democratic district of
the hi ale. It is due to those who made it so,
and who intend, wiih God's blessing, to keep
it so, that their views shonld be consulted as
to whom they shall elect to Congress.
We copy the above from that very excellent
journal, the Southern Watchman, of Athens.
We beg leave to assure our friend, the editor,
that we are not iutermed Jlcrs in the matter re-
eried to, but received the suggestion publish
ed in these columns from a number of the
leading citizens of the Ninth District, who
desire Mr. Hill to represent them in Congress.
We have also to pay that the IIebald is a
Georgia paper, and can, pn no just sense, be
considered an “outsider” in anything that
concerns the Lonor or interest of Georgia.
The men who go to Congress, tbongh'chosen,
lor convenience sake, by district*, are Repre
sentatives of Georgia—the whole State—and
of no particular part of it. It was so con- j
lessedly under the general iieket system, i
and the mere division of the State, for
greater convenience, and that minorities
might be represented, in nowise changed
the relations of Representatives to the Slate
at large. S j we feel that every man who
goes to Congress from Georgia is our Repre
sentative, from whatever district he may hail.
Georgia's reputation mav rise or fall in his
hands, an 1 so long as this is so, it is absurd
to say that when we evince a becoming in
terest in ihe selection of the wisest and best
men from every part of the State, we are ob
noxious to the charge of intermeddling with
matters that do not concern ns.
And again, our friend of the Watchman will
allow ns to say that the Hecald has not the
slightest desire to force any candidate npon
the good people of the Ninth District, nor to
interfere in any way with a free and fair ex
pression of their will in the matter of a can
did .te. We simply desire, as that district is
a port of Georgia, to see it put forward a
standard bearer that is worthy to represent
the State and will do her honor in the national
councils. We have men in Georgia who rank
with the foremost minds of the Union, and
whose presence at Washington would give
dignity and power to the State. We wish to
see these men in Congress, and we make bat
a reasonable request when we ask the peo
ple not to allow them to be overslaughed by
men who are confessedly and infinitely their
interiors in every attribute of the statesman.
And wc say this, not only to the Ninth, but
to every district in the State. We discredit
ourselves and humiliate our State when we
elevate small men to office over the heads of
great ones. State pride, interest, self respect,
ail combine in one eloquent appeal to our
people to abolish the day of small things and
put their strongest and best men in high offi
cial stations. We intend to insist on thi«
h matter ot daty, not only in the district in
which the IIe&bld is published and whee its
editor** happen to vote, but in every congress
ional district in the State. We feel tuafe wa
should be derelict to our State to do lesa,
and if others object to it as “outside inter-
ierencr," we can only reg'et that they and we
vit-w the matter of patriotic obligation in
wholly different lights.
And what we propose to say on this subject
shall be addressed to the peejple —the honest,
intelligent, unbiased people throughout the
State--and not to the few interested poli
ticians and place-hnnters who are in the
habit of combining 4a a sort of mutual in
surance associitioa in nearly every part of
the S ate, and through the instrumentality of
so-called conventions, find up to suit their
own purposes, dictate to the people for whom
they shall, and shall not, vote at the elections,
and then follow up the outrage with the party
lash to whip freemen into obedienoe to tbeir
orders. If the voice of the people cannot be
heard in the nominations, thnr will oan
never be expressed at the polls.
Washington, March 4.—A Manufacturing
Company of Gloucester, New Jersey, dis
charged 700 men yesterday, who asked for
higher wages. The men, accompanied bj
their wives and children, surrounded the
residence of the Superintendent, at which
they hurled missils of every description and
threatened to fire the mill, but were finally
dispersed by the police after a hard struggle,
in which many heads were broken.
A warrant was issued this morning for the
arrest of Congressman Pelham, of Alabama

Mrs. Gaines has sued Caleb Cushing for
$200,000 libel. In a dispatch in Sunday’s
New Orleans paper, the word “she quotes”
was made ‘‘he quotes.” The following funny
thing is from the New York World:
The writer yesterday called on Mr. Cushing
and asked him what he thought about the
quasi charges brought by Mrs. Gaines against
Judge Durell.
Mr. Cushing said that his position as coun
sel in the case prevented him from revealing
professional secrets, but he felt at liberty to
state that he knew of nothing in Darell’s
conduct in relation to Mrs. Gaines that was
dishonorable or unbefitting an upright Judge.
He wondered that any importance had been
placed on Mrs. Gaines’ statements. It was a
mistake that she had any money in her
control, and all her st-iry amounted to was
this: Stone, who had no money, told
Mrs. Gaints, who had no money, that unless
they pat their purses together aud gave
Judge Darell the money, which neither of
them had, Mrs. Gaines would Jose her case. ;
They did not Attempt this rather impossible
feature. There was no proof that it they
offered a bribe to Judge Darell that he
would take it, and Mrs. Gaines won her
case despite Stone’s prognostications
that bribery was the sine qua
non. If her doing so was according to Mrs.
Gaines’ story, the only guilty person iu the
matter was Stone, who proposed purchasing
justice and suborning the judicial ermine.
Mis. Gaines’ reasoning which induced htr
to bring the charges against Darell, was a
specimen of woman’s logic. Stone told her
to bribe Darell; if she had been in
a position to take Stone’s advice
which she was not, Darell would have fallen
like another Adam, to the temptation ol
Mother Eve. Tne only possible sequeter, of
course, was that Durell was even more guilty
of malfeosauce in office from the very fact
that he did not take a bribe which was never
offered him, than he would have hern had
he accepted one.
As to the alleged statements of Mrs. Gaines
that he (Mr. Cashing) had also advised h#r
to bribe Judge Darell, they were an entire
fabrication. He never thought it necessary,
nor contemplated any such arrangement, and
he certainly would never have advised her
to put what she did not possess where it
would do the most good.
When asked whetner he had been or would
be summoned as a witness in the impeach
ment of Judge Durell, Mr. Cushing expressed
great alarm at the prospect of taking the two
day’s joarney to Washington, but comforted
himself with the Assurance that as his testi
mony would be in favor of the Judge, those
who were conducting the impeachment would
take good care that he was kept out of the
way.

SENATE.
Washington, March 4, 1874.
The Senate considered the liquor traffic,
commerce, and transportation question to
day. No action taken.
Senator CARPENTER beat Senator CAM
ERON, who wished to push the Centennial
bill, and alter having the Louisian* election
bill read. Senator WEST asked Seuator CAR
PENTER if he proposed to lollow np his
speech, by a motion to refer, Senator
CARPENTER replied that he was well aware
of the fact that Senator from Louisiana
wanted to speak, aud he would not deprive
him of that privilege.
The motion of Senator CARPENTER, to
lay aside all pending orders, and take np the
Lousiana bill, was agreed to.
Senator CARPENTER proposed to go di
rectly to bnainesA: and not waste the time of
the Senate in any glowing speeches. He
woold repeat nothing he had said on lormer
occasions, but wpuld endeavor to speak on
matters in connection with the Louisiana
case,upon which both himself and the Seuator
from Indiana had agreed, and Would en
deavor to show that circumstances required
the passage of the bill proposed by him. lie
reviewed the election returns, aud said it was
clearly shown that McEntry had received
nine thousand four bandied and sixty majority
though be did not hold the election m Louis
iana a fair one, ao< Congress had already au
thorized an investigation into Louisiana
affairs. It seemed to him as if it had gone
ho far in these matters that It must proceed
and settle them. He referred to the argu
ment of the Senator of Indiana, Mr. Morton,
as to the Supreme Court of that State having
decided in favor of Kellogg, and said
that the testimony before the Senate Com
mittee showed sncli a state of fraud as would
set aside the decision of any tribunal. The
Senator Morten, from the Committee of
Privileges and Elections, in his report io re
gard to the PreAidontiil electors iu Louisiana,
bad stated that the Lynch board, iu making
the couot and declaring the electiou of elec
tors, had no legal evidence upon which it
could count the votes. The Senator had shown
that no validity attrehed to the action of the
Lynch board on the count for Presidential
electors, and both houses of Congress acted
upon that report. The Senator. (Morton,)
now claimed that the Supreme Court of the
fitate had descided that the Lynch board
was the legal board, but he, (Carpenter,)
called attention to the ftet that that decision
waa made before the report of the Sen itor
from Indiana. The above referred to him.
Oar pen ter regretted that Senator Morton waa
not in his seat to-day and would
pass from that branch of this
argument, omitting many things which he
intended to refer to. How would Congress
look before the country after deciding that
the election was void as to the Presidential
eleotion, hat legal as to the State officials.
The Senator (Morton) having led In* Senate
through the first phases, now seeks to leed it
ia a eounter movement. The Supreme
That power was vested exclusively in Con
gress. Again, the question was not a judicial
one at all, tat a political one, and must be
determined by the political department ot the
government. The Supreme Court of the
United States itself could not settle it, aud
the decision ol the Supreme Court ol Louisi
ana was not entitled to a moment’s considera
tion. Tne Coutt had never attempted to de
cide the question directly, but all it did say
in effect was that the Lynch board was Jibe
legal board, bat it never said whether that
board acted honestly or corruptly. The Sec
tor from Indiina (Morton) had rested his ar
gument npon two points, tne deci&ion of the
State Supreme Court, and the recognition of
the Kellogg government by the President of
the United States. On a former occasion, Le
(Carpenter) had stated that a proper ca*=e
had never been made out for the President’s
action, and the Senator from Indiana got on
his high horse to illustrate his fidelity to the
administration, a thing entirely unnecessary
for him to better himself upon executive fa
vor by denouncing somebody else for failing
short. Suppose Gen. Grant did misconstrue
a statute, did it make him a worse
man at all, and be (Carpenter)
protested against the Senator, Morton,
declaring that there had been au attack made
npon the President, when he (Carpenter)
pointed out a misconstruction oi a statute.
Such Justices as Mansfield, Story and Mar
shall would sit aud listen for duys to au ar
gument to show them where they were in
error, while a Justice of the Peace would
knock yoa down lor suggesting that he may
have erred. He (Carpenter) deni* d that be had
made any attack on the President, referring to
the argumeut of the Seuator from New Jersey,
Frelinghuysen, as to the power of the Pres
ident to act in putting down insurrection,
when he was satisfied himself that it existed.
Carpenter said there was but one mau iu the
United States except Senator Frelinghuvseu
who entertained such an opinion, ami that
was Andrew Johnson. He miintained that
he was the United States. He was power to
enterpret the Constitution.
Senator FllELINGHUYSEN said that Sen
ator Carpenter’s information waa very limited
not to know that the President had such
power.
Senator CARPENTER said that one of the
greatest pleasures of his life was to add to
his stora of information, and he would listen
as a laithfnl desciple at the feet of his master,
when the gentleman from New Jersey
would undertake to show him that under the
constitution, the President, of his own voli
tion, and without proper record Irotn the
State, could determine that an insurrection
existed in the State, and proceed to put it
down. A Court of ^tJusticel
could not decide a Cdse
the Senator and himself of two hundred dol- I
lars without a recoid; why, because it was a
court of record and had a seal, aud certainly
the United States was a comt of record,
and the mere cry by telegraph to the
President—come and help ns. was not
sufficient for hi a in'erference. lie, Carpen
ter, believed that if the Federal tro ps
were withdrawn from, the Kellogg govern
ment would not stand. There were two ques
tions involved as to the passage of this hill:
First, have we the power to pass it? Second,
the expediency of passing it. The Constitu
tion provides that each S:ata shall have a re
publican form of government. One of
the first requisites of a republican
form of Government is that its offices shonld
be filled by persons elected by the people.
The power of Cougress was diverted from
the Court, not from the tumult in Louisiana,
or the frauds of Darell, or the Lynch board,
and be asked every Senator within his
hearing it Congress had not the
power te give the people of that State
what they had been cheated out of, namely :
the right to elect their own officers, and
should our Governintut be overthrown, it
would, by these steady encroachments. Con
gress should see. at all tuu-.'S, that eich State
had a Representative form of Government,
and any Senator declaring that Congress
had tot the power lo enterfere, none
would declare to Kellogg an 1 his followers.
You can repeat this thing in 1870, in 1880, or
in 1881. Congress has not power to set it
right. If Congress had no authority to euter-
1 ter;ere, the McEuery government could set
itself up also by force. Violence was as good
a title as fraud, and a little more
manly, when a man skulks
beneath Ihe soiled robes of a federal judge,
he has not the manliness of the oue who
goes oat with sword in hand to maintain his
position. There was no question in hisl
mind as the power of Cougress to take up the
constitution of any State ani declare whether
or not it was lepublican in form
the power of Congress was supreme. Fer
ry, of Connecticut, said he must differ with
the gentleman as to power of Congress.
Carpenter said he was Sony the Senator
would stand in his place and virlu illy say,
“if Kellogg and his friends joined hands and
defied the people of toe State for fifty
yeais,” Congress conld not interfere and
he meant to say if a band ot
ruffians should seize the St ito, Congress
could not then interfere.
Senator FERRY said he meant to say that
Innder our system of Government there is
within the State a remedy for the usurpation
of Government, or else the Republican form
of Govern mentis a failure.
Senator CARPENTER said —Suppose
The people of Connecticut should
declare they would have a mon
archy, that they were sick and tired
of Republican government, aud th.it their
Governor and le islature should remain iu
office lor lile, would Congress then have the
power to interfere.
Senator FERRYJsaid there *a-» a remedy;!
that where a whole people of a State pre-i
ferred a monarchist government it was an
entirely different thing. He, however, con
curred with the Senator lrom Wisconsin,
that the State government of Louisiana was,
root and branch a usurpation; but he could
not agree with him as to the remedies.
Senator CARPENTER said in a debate ol
this kind he was in position ot fighting in an
open field ag linat an ambuscade. The gen
tleman had his views, but would not let them
out; but if he has a plan, why not let it
be known. He, Carpenter, was like McClel
lan in one thing, not wedded to any particu
lar plan. If the Senator had a plan, and it
was better than he, Carpenter, proposed, he
was ready to support it as soon as the Sena
tor would remove the seal of confidence from
The Senator, Ferry, concurred
with him that the present
government of Louisiana was no government
at all, but usurped by Kellogg.
Senator CARPENTER believed the Kel
logg government was held up by bayonets ol
the United States —sustained this hour by
troops of the United Slates, aud he wanted
to know what remedy there w.is for this dif
ficulty. The Supreme Ooart of the Stale was
in conspiracy with Kellogg and would not
inaugurate a move for reform; the State Leg
islature was in the conspiracy and wouldn't
do so, the Governor would not and the people
could not, because federal bayonet* were
levelled at them; the powers of the feder.il
government wore as sovereign, ixcept as
limited by the constitution, as those of the
Czar of Russia. Congress could declare
war tomorrow against any nation
with or without a cunse. she
could t.x the Lint dollar from the
pockets of the people, or establish female
suffrage aud put the women iu the army.
The great argument made, iu the pr«Hs par
ticularly, was the expediency of ordering a
new election on the ground tnat it would be
a dangerous precedent; but it was not soaud
logic. Calomel was a dangerous medteiuo,
aud just as well might it be said that
because the doctors gave it to giowu
men might give it to infants 1 Look at the
probable effect of Congress, saying it could
do nothing ! Look at the present condition
of these Southern Slates, having just emerged
from a civil war ! Would it be sate to say to
them, when you hold your elections next fall,
•'Get in by fraud or any way, there is no
powor to put you oat?’ What greater
license could be given to the lawless
ness of the laud ? t hat element would
say, “ If that is your gams, we will
play it, end they would play it under the
aanotfon of Congmss. Witb*euch l actioD, the
present condition of some of the Southern
Ststse would toe mors dangerous. The thing
1 iu lavor of him. If they are, who is to
cause bloodshed ? He could be elected fairly,
uud Cougress should sustain him in his high
office. The speech of Senator Morton about
bloodshed, exceeded anythtng h*.
Carpenter, had heard since be left
the nursery, and it remiuded him of the
old song:
Fee fl>* foo fnm.
1 smell the blood of an Englishman,
li ool, blood, blood, blood!
Did the Senator expect to influence the Sen
ate by any such argument, there would be no
blood shell by a new election. The Govern
ment conld enforce it by the army and navy
it nec. saury. If not this, Morton had better
futl its banners and put its affairs in the
liafids of a receiver.
Carpenter then lead from the speech by
Kellogg, in Ihe Senate in 1868, in which
he said all that the people of the State wanted
was a fair election, aud wherever anything
was in office under guise ot being Republi
can, he shonld be put out. The people want
ed a fair election, even if it was by Liberal
interference. Iu concluding of his argument,
Carpenter said that Congress was iu a pre
dicament where it could not stop. Louis-

Another Strike and a Fight.
Billiard Match.
New Yobk, March 4, 1874.
The laborers on *he Brooklyn reservoir at
Hempsted, Long Island, have struck for in
creased wages. More than half of them were
Italians, who were willing to work at the old
rates. The Irish and German laborers as
saulted and drove the Italians off, and many
were injured. Steam shovels and other ma
chinery ware broken. The police sent to
quell the disturbance were assaulted and for
a time driven ofi. Alter shooting one of the
rioters the ring-leaders were arrested and the
others dispersed.
A game of billiards of six hundred points
—French carom—for $2,000, was ilayed last
night between Cyrell Dion aud Maurice Daly,
at Tammany Hall. Daly run out in the
sixty-seveuth inning. Dion scored 547. The
highest runs made by Dion were 65, 81 and
20; by Daly 61, 43, and 212, the largest single
run ever made in a game of this kind.
New York, March 4, 1874.
The case of Ex-President Baez, of San Do-
ianabad bnt one Senator here, and the Con- mingo, was up again in Brooklyn to-day on a
stitntion sats she must have two. The
Senat-r from New Jersey, Frelinghnysen,
had said be would not vote to seat
Pinehback and by that he declar
ed there was no Republican Government
in Louisiana, and by sealing Pinehback the
Senate would have to recognize Kellogg. By
seating McMillan it would have to recognize
McEuery, but by refusiug lo seat either it
declared there had been no election there.
Was it wise to adjourn this troubl< some
quostion iuto the Presidential election; it was
not probable that there would be the same una
nimity then that there was the last time, for he
sebauned the political horizon and he thought
he conld see more than one candidate, arid it
was not improbable that the vote of Louisiana
might change the whole thing. The ques
tion should be settled now, and put out ot the
way, as it was neither wise nor prudent to ad
journ it. He had no personal leeliug in the
matter, his relations with Kellogg being of
the most frieudly character; but he wanted
the Congress of ihe United States to do its
duty and order an honest election, so that the
people could bavs their choice.
Senator FRELINGHUYSEN said that he
desired to speak on the subject, but yielded
to Mr. Cameron, who moved that this Senate
proceed to the consideration of the Centen
nial bill.
Senator THURMAN said ho als > desired
to speak on Louisiana affairs, and hoped the
Centennial bill would go over till to-morrow.
Senator CONK:.ING said the Seuator from
between Pennsylvania. Mr. Cameron, was anxious to
get away, and it was due him to take aud
dispose of the Centennial bill to-day, if pos
sible. Cameron’s motion to take up the
Centennial bill was agreed to, the pending
motion being to refer it to the committee on
appropriations.
Seuator THURMAN spoke against refer
ring the bill, aud said if it went to that com
mittee. the understanding would be that
there should be an appropriation for the cel
ebration, nud this he opposed on the ground
that Cougress had no power under the
coostiuitiou to vote mouey for such purposes.

BOUSE.
The cheap transportaiiou bill to regulate
commerce by railroad among the several
Stales, was debated in the House without any
result being reached.
The noted and long pending bar-tender
case from Iowa, which it was expected would
overturn the excise laws of rnauy of the
States, was to-day disposed of in the Supreme
Court, by au opinion of which the following
is the substance :
The usual and ordinary legislation of ft„o
States regulating or prohibiting the sale of
intoxicating liquors raised the question un
der the Constitution of the United States
prior to the fourteenth amendment of that
instrument. The right to sell such liquors is
not one ot the privileges and immunities of
the citizens of the Vuited States, which, by
that amendment, the States are forbidden to
abridge; but, if a case w ere presented in which
a person owning liquor or other property
at the time h law was pissed by the
State absolutely prohibiting any sale of it,
it would be a very grave question whether
such a law would not be inconsistent with
the provisions of that amendment, which for
bids the State to deprive any persons of life,
liberty or properly without the process ol
law. While the case before the court at
tempts to present that question it fails to do
it, because the plea which is taken as true
docs not state in due form by position or
allegation the time when the defendant bo-
canio the owner of the liquor sold, aad tcc-
ondly, because the record satisfies us that
this is a movement made in tne case to ob
tain the opinion of this Court on the grave
constitutional questiou without the expense
of facts necessary to raise that question in
such a case that wheu the Supreme Court of
the State to which the writ of error is direct
ed, was not couhidt-red the question, and
this Court will not feel at liberty to go out ot
its usu .1 cour-e to decide.
Mr. Justice Miller delivered the opinion.
Tnis case was argued with the slaughter
house cases from New Orleans, and it was ex
pected it would be decided with them, but it
has been deferred until now.
Mr. Justice Bradley delivered a concurring
opinion, setting forth that the destinction
between this and the slaughter house case is,
in his view, tnat in those cases there was a
monopoly obnoxious to the charge of depriv
ing citizens of the United States of their
