Race Tendencies.
In a recent interview Pinchbuck is re
ported. among other things, to have at
tributed oar present political difficulties
to “the stirring up of the white element
against the black,” and tt> have made the
declaration that as long as this bt&te of
affairs ooutiuurS no peace can be expected.
Of coarse it is a part of Pmchback’s
strategy to cast all the blame for exist
ing troubles upon the whites, and to make
the antagonisms of race a means for the
accomplishment of his own ambitions
ends. How far he is allied by blood and
sympathy with the gennine Alrican ele
ment in Louisiana is however, a matter
of some question. He has nothing of the
true negro type in his appearance, and
until he assumed the scurvy role of pol
itician Jie manifested no love for the gen
nine darkey, either in the way of sympa
thy or association. Were it not that he
finds in ihefreedmen of the State conve
nient instrument sthrongh whicn to fash
ion lor* himself the Senatorial toga, he
would thrnst them aside as inferiors, and
contemn them as barbarians.
It must be remembered that the Indian*
were slaves in Louisiana before the ne-
£iees w«r.», and when the latter were in-
’fajoduefd a strange mixture of blood en
sued. which may be clearly traced to th's'
day In some who, for political pnrposvs,
claim to wear the shadowed livery of
Afric’s burning sun. Pinchback is one of
these. He has little, if any, of the trne
blood of Africa in his veins, and ail bis
sympathies, save those especially assumed,
are against the Jim Crow darkey.
As pertinent to this matter of race an
tagonism, our attention is called to an ad
dress delivered before the Republicans of
Lafayette coahty, Miss., by Thos. Walton,
E*q., Professor of law in the Oxford Uni
versity. The Professor takes strong
grounds against the outrages of local
self-government, the only, corrective of
which, in his opinion, is to be found in
the vigor and strength of Federal au
thority.
Passing from this phase of Republican
party opinion, which carries with it so
muctw of the flavor of centralization, the
Professor thus spoke of race tendencies
and antagonisms :

The four hundred thousand white pobple
and the four hundred thousand colored peo
ple who constitute the population of this
State never can banish entirely from their
hearts all jealousy and disgust of each
other. The government of this State, and
all others similarly situated, is at all times,
and will forever continue to be, an object of
dread to the one race or the other, accord
ing as one or the other may control such
government. When the blacks havo thfe
ascendency^ the whites aro stricken with
terror for fear of losing ^hoir property;
when the whites have it, the colored race
aro in evsn greater terror for their personal
property. The affililtion of people of the
same race with each other is as fixed a law
of nature as any other law of cohesion
which makes the parts of a bodv cling to
gether. Such affiliation of blacks with
blacks, and of whites with whites, never
will in this world bo put an end to; and as
long as it continues wo can never have good
government except by 'the aid of external
power. Etfery election becomes a contest'
between races. Every tirnft a jury is sum
moned, where a question arises between a
white and a colored man, it becomes a vital
question whether it is a white or a colored
jury. The contest extends to everything,
and is destined to be # perpetual, and would
soon end in strife if it*were left to ourselyes.
Whatever good intentions may for. a
time exist on both sides, I do not believe
that God has given it to man, when thus cir
cumstanced, to be at peace with his neigh
bor. It does not lie in human nature. There
is but one mode of perpetuating peaco and
equal rights and freedom in such a commu
nity. that is bv calling in the aid of ex
ternal power; and it is this aid—it is the
powerful hand of the American people that
keeps the peace here to-day. I do not ques
tion that there are plenty of well-intentioned
men in both parties. I do not doubt that
these men would strive in all events to pre
serve order and to establish good govern
ment. But they woul£ be like the Union
men in 1861; they would bo overwhelmed
and soon move with the tide that would rush
over them.
That the race antagonisms referred to
exist cannot be denied, and to carry out
the Professor’s argument to its logical
conclusion would virtnally lead to an
abandonment of all hope of establishing
such a filing as a fair and successful local
self-government in either Mississippi or
Louisiana. In both th^se States the
population is almost equally divided be
tween the wb.te and colored races, and if
they are always to regard each other as
political, if not moral enemies, they will
invariably commit acts of outrage and op
pression against e.-tch other whenever the
badge of political supremacy passes from
black to white or from whit# to black.
Historical precedents, however, do not
sustain this opinion. In the States where
negroes ar* in the minority they are not
deprived of their political and civil rights.
England freed the negroes in her colo
nies at a cost of many millions to the na
tional treasnry t and those freed in this
country tnrongh the exigencies of war no
one wishes to enslave. Indeed the asser
tion is nDtrue, that white people, when
ever ia the majority,oppress the blacksjbat
all historical precedents 6bow that where
the blacks have acquired the mastery, the
oppression of the whites is the rale, and
political and commercial degeneracy the
invariable sequence. The negroes in
Sonth Carolina an.d this State have readi
ly acquired all the worst habits of the
political freebooters, with whom at first
they entered into alliance, bat they have
been slow to distinguish the radical dif
ference between freedom and license, and
to acquire that broad-thonghted states
manship by which the dnties and respon
sibilities ot governments are regulated.
With rare exceptions the colored men
thrust into political prominence in this
State are of the lowest moral type, and
the legislation of assemblies where they
have constituted a majority, has been
largely influenced by bribery and corrup
tion.
We bold, in view of all the facts and
circumstances connected with the case,
that the liberty of the negro is nol en
dangered through the supremacy in num
bers or influence of the whites, while, on
the contrary, all the better elements of
liberty and'all the higher interests on
which prosperity depends are endangered
whenlhresi “nsible negroes bold the legis
lative and executive power of the State in
their hands, either throngh the force of
numbers, or the still darker force of frand.
Pinchback and his colored followers are
now the greatest existing threat against
good government and prosperity in Loui.-
iana. He and his race have nothing to
fear from the reforms which the *nite
people are anxious to inangnrate, bnt the
white tax-payers of the Stnto have moon
to dread in him. bis ambitions views, and
his greedy followers.
Respect foe Religion in Feance
The First French Republic, like the fool
who said in iris heard “There is no God,
abolished religion and exalted a woman
of infamona obaracter to the position of
•■Goddess of Reason.” The existing Re
public is pursuing a better and very dif
ferent course, ifiasmuch as it professes
the highest tespectand regard for religion.
It does more. On the l!Kh of December
the name of M. Charles Bohn a distin-
gniShed m-mber ol the institute and a
professor of the School of Medicine was
stroek off the jury nst by the Justice of
the Peace in the Sixth arrondissement of
Paris, avSwedly.on account of his P m "
losophical” opinions aod his avowed dis
belief in God. • Two or three ot the news
papers protest against such an application
of the recently modified jury law, but,
for the most p irt, the action ol the justice
has met with approval.

The Legitimist, Clerical and Orleanist
journals do jastioe to Napoleon’s good
qualities, and concnr in the opinion that
the system he inherited was responsible
for most of the evils of his Government.
L' Uniters appeals to the Orleans Princes
to acknowledge Count De Chambord as
the legitimate heir to the throne of France
and thus rally around a centre the mon
archical forces now strengthened by the
death of the ex-Emperor.
Le Temps says a lerrible responsibility
emerges on Napoleon’s memory. He,
however, was a victim of tradition and
was deficient in moral sense. The expe
rience France has gone throngh with him
will preserve her hereafter from political
saviours and fatalists.
Le Bien Public studies the man psychol
ogically and says of him that after gain
ing power by conspiracy he continued to
govern with a policy of contempt for
mankind.
L'Ordre and Le Pays put tbeir columns

peror is dead, but the Empire is indispec-
sible.
The Journal des Debats is impressed by
the suddenness and character of the chas
tisements of this man. He was the great
delusion of the country. The mass of the
nation dreamed with him. The awakening
was terrible. Now “the Empire is peace,”
the peace of the tomb.
The Republique Franc jise considers the
Bonapartist party dead. It reviews what
the two Emperors hare cost France in
money and blood, shame and disaster.
Both Emperors were only powerful by
force of lies. By lies they fell. The Na

tne Woolwich Cadet is the son of Sedan.
It is indeed finished.
The Gmstitutionael finds the situa
tion in France and Europe is no wi»e af
fected by the death of Napoleon III. His
reign was most fruitful in great results.
History will regard it as one ot the most
progressive, notwithstanding its disas
trous results.
The Gaulois shows bla^ borders and
defends the memory of the deceased. It
attributes his death more to the angui h
caused by unmerited disasters, shameful
treasons and infamous calumnies, than to
the effects of physical disease.
Thu Journal Ofliciel speaks of the Em
peror in terms ol respectful symoaihy and
hopes his death, by reckicing the number
of pretenders, will iucrease tho country’s
hope for a calm and orderly future.
The Dix-Neuvieme biecle pitilessly re
marks that this death carries all thoughts
to Alsace. The importance of the news
from London may be summed up thus:
The Empire was dead; the Emperor has
jast died.
The Ftyaro cannot Joigefc Napoleon’s

The Balance of Trade.
In spite of the vast surplus of cotton,
grain and provisions which the United
States annually produces and exports, the
balance of trade is s'.ill against the coun
try, and for the year fending Jane 30,
1872, this balance amonuted to nearly
$100,000,000. The imports being $640,-
337,540, and the exports $549,219,718,
and re-exoortationB amount to $22,967,-
749. Unfortunately the table of imports
and exports inclade specie, bat if this be
exclnded the adverse balance, instead of
$100,000,000, as above stated, woold
stand $134,481,918, the amount purchased
from foreign countries more than we have
sold to them, besides which we paid ont
to foreigners for kick-shaws the sum of
$66,000,000 in gold. It may be gratifying
to know, while the balance against the
country is large, that there is some im
provement in the fignrts showing the ex
portations of domestic articles. The
tables show a decrease in the cotton ex
ports of $1,000,000, and the total exports
of domestic manufactures for two years
were as follows:
In the fall of 1866 an old citizen of Mar
shall county, Tennessee, named John
Cheek, sold his cotton, and immediately
after ret arcing home from town was
standing ill tys yard when a drunken
man appeaiflfe. Without many words the
man fired and the old gentleman fell wel
tering in his life’s blcod. The morderer
fled, was pursued, and lodged in jail. The
ptrson arrested for the mnrder was a man
named Mich. Pearson, who managed to
break jail soon after being incarcerated
and fled the coanty. Although a reward
was offered for his arrest, he conld not be
found, and since his escape the Sheriff of
Marshall county, G. W. Champ, accom
panied by another gentleman, have trav
eled throngh three or four States in search
of the murderer.
It being reported that he was in Texas,
a requisition from Governor Brown, of
this State, was obtained, but never served,
as Pearson conld not be found. Not long
ago the Sbqjriff hearing Pearson was in
Decatnr county, again started with his
triead to arrest Pearson, and after riding
one hundred and twenty-five miles on
horseback were compelled to retnrn with
out their desired prisoner. Ascertaining
definitely that he was iu the neighbor
hood ol BrA^nsport Farnace, Decatnr
county, the £triff. w Rh John Roane;
again started to capture him, arriving last
Friday night about twelve o’clock at the
house of a friend named Davis, about
stven miles from the above place. Davis
informed tkem where Pearson was, but
told th«qi not to attempt to arrest him,
as he was a desperate character.
The Sheriff, however, said he was de
termined to apprehend Pearson, and
with Roane proceeded on their journey,
going one mile from the honse of Davis
to a ferry on the Tennessee river, across
which they were rowed by a man named
Chambers. From this point they had to
make tne rest of the journey, seven
miles, on foot to ths house of Pearson.
OwiDg to the strange locality and the
darkness of night, Champ and Jdo.
Roane lost their route aud returning to
the terry was conducted by Chambers to
within filty yards of Pearson’s house, a
little log cabin sitoated in a retired place.
Forthwith the Sheriff approached the
bailding and rapping on the door aroused
Pearson whom he told that he had a writ
for bis arrest. Without delay Pearson
opeued the d 0l >r from the inside and
fired at the Sh^riff^ who, staggering ODder
i lie .effect of the shot as the ball pene
trated his shoulder, drew his pistol, and
placing it in Pearson’s face, palled the
trigger.
l he pistol missed fire, and three caps
were borsted with no effect, as the mur
derer slammed the door and barred it.
Roane shoved the Sheriff aside and fired
.through, bot ^id not hit Pearson. Find
ing it angles^ to make another attempt,
Champ and Roane guarded the house till
morniDg, when they were* reinforced by-
two men whom Davis sent from Browns-
port Furnace. Pearson, seeing the party
armed with three donble-barrelad shot
gum, did not attempt an escape. Finding
he coaid not be induced to come out, the
party procured fifteen bundles of fodder
and set Pearson’s honee ou fire.
This bad the desired effect, and no
sooner did the flames commence to wrap
the building than Prarson rushed ont,
and, with uplifted hands, cried for mercy,
stating he had surrendered. The fire was
extinguished, and Pearson being securely
fastened, was brought to this city yester
day aud placed in jail till the departure of
the train. Dr. Buchanan dressed Sheriff
| Champ’s wound, and although the pistol
i ball h*s not been removed, the injury is
uot bad. The prisoner was placed on the
afternoon train and started for jail atLew-
, isburg.

A Revolution-jet Reminiscence.—From
Edward Everett's “Posthumous Papers,”
published in the Old and -Vein for January,
we extraot the following:
Just after the war broke out, the stew
ard of the Manor ot Livingston had been
gained over to the royal canse, and had
carried most of the tenants in that direc
tion. They had secretly taken the oath
of allegiance to King George, and had en
gaged to join the British standard in arms
aaeoon as a roval force should appear to
protect them. As a reward, they were
promised the fee-simple of their lands.
Information of this intrigue and treachery
was given to the board of. war, of which
Mr. Morris was a member. The steward
was apprehended, his crime proved, and
be was condemned to death. Upon the
a uestion of Bis execution, it was proposed
mt it sbonld immediately take place to
prevent escape or rescue. Mr. Morris
dissuaded this oonrse. “Fit ont a sloop
here at Albany,” be recommended, “take
the man down in it to the Manor of Liv
ingston, call ont ths tenants, and bung
him in their presence.” This was done.
The next week a draft from the militia
was ordered throughout by the Board ol
War, and the Manor of Livingston was
the only place in it that torn el ont, at a
moment's warning, every man that was
required.
“Young America.”—A Mabbiage on the
Stage and inPbesesce of anAudience.
John Bazlan, pantomimist and trapeze
nerformer, known as “Yonng America,’,
and a member of the Hernandez Panto-
mine Tronne, at present travelling with
Bidwsll it McDonough’s “Black Crook
Company, was married on the evening of
December 31, 1872, upon the stage of be
Opera House, Qoincy. Illinois, to Mile.
Hndda Moritz, one of the coryphtts of that
company. At the end of the transforma
tion scene, and just before the red fire
was lighted to illuminate the picture, the
Dartiea named were discovered clad m
Sll ato Mr. Thomas B. Maedon-
oogh, the manager, led the expectant
bride to the footlights, where they were
married, by Judge Gilbert, in pre-euce of
the audience. After the ooncloaion of
the performance the newly married coapje
entertained the members of the cornF»ny
and a number of their friends in that
city, and the festivities were eontinned
until a late honr. This, we believe m
the first instance of the ntarrtagoceremony
being solemnized during a theatrical pe
formance.
Immigration in 1872.—The statistics of
immigration at tbis port for 1872 give a
grand total of 293,603—an increawe over
1871 ol 81,433, and of 1870 of 63,964.
Nearly one-half of the new arrival** settled
in the Middle S ates and New-EngLud,
most of the remainder going West and a
few only South. Germany famished by
far the largest number of immigrants,viz.,
131,733; Graet Britain sent us 58.146 from
Ireland .45,843 lrom EngiariS, 9,100 from
Scotland, 3 416 from Wales, and 151 from
the Isle of MaD. Sweden sent 11,132,
Norway 6.406, Denmark 4.672. Austria 1,
256, Bohemia 3,633, Hungary 359 Switzer
land! 4.496, France 2.746, Russi* 4,137,
Italy 5,853, Holland 3,472, Belgiam 625,
ana Luxembourg 1,102. M«,st of the
Scandinavians went to Minnesota aud
Wisconsin, while with the' Germans Illi
nois was the favorite Stat?. These re
turns by no means represent the aggre
gate annual influx of foreign blood and
bone, muscle and money into the Union.
Immigrants are laden at Portland, Quebec,
Montreal, Boston, Pmiadelphia, Balti
more, Norfolk, and New-Orleans—a very
considerable percentage of those landing
at the Canadian ports finding their way to
this country. The Bureau of Statistics
gave the number of immigrants landed at
all the ports during the last fiscal year at
a little more than 405,0C0. The addition
of power and prospective wealth which
such <tn immigration as this supplies, is
almost beyond calculation.
The Sandwich Islands. —The New York
Journal of Commerce says:
“Some day we shall have the Sandwich
Islands. There is no donbt about that.
Bat when or how the transfer of that de
sirable piece of property will be made to
the United States we do not venture to
say. Toe death of King Kamehameha V.
hastens the event, for it leaves the islands
without any person of native origin wholly
competent to encceed him. In the dis
sensions that will follow on the choice of
a new sovereign, the Sandwich Islanders
will fa*n rest more and more on th# dpin-
ioa of their American counsellors. The
leading statesmen and office holders in
the islands are now American. The chief
justice is the brilliant S. C. Phillips, for
merly of Salem, Massachusetts; the pres
ent Minister of Foreign Affairs is Charles
C. Harris, American bore; and the Sand
wich Islands minister to Washington is
Elisha F. Allen, a Maine man, and a Rep
resentative in Congress for one term. The
islands have a considerable American pop
ulation, are largely interested in Ameri
can trade, and are feeling the vigor of
American mflaence all over.”
An Iowa county ’Squire concludes the
marital knot ceremony thuslv : “Them
that the court hath joined together let no
man bust asunder; bat ‘suffer little chil
dren to come unto them,’ so help yon
God.”
Ah Sain loved M;s> Hi Sing. Ah Sam
was by profession a cook ia a California
miners’ baarding-hor.se and trading post
combined at a little mining campon the
Tuolumme river. Following minutely
the culinary teachings of his employer,
having no conception of cocking save as
a mere mechanical operation—dead to
the pernicious mental and physical effect
which his iil-dressed dishes might have
on the minds and stomachs of those he
served—Ah Sam, while dreaming of Hi
Sing, fried tough beaf still tougher in hot
lard, poisoned flour with sale rates, and
boiled potatoes to the last extreme of sod
denness, all of which calinarv outrages
promoted indigestion among those who
ate; and this indigestion fomented a
general irritability of temper, from
whence Swett’s Camp became noted for
its freqaent sanguinary moods, its batt es
by miduii<hl in street and bar-nnm, with
knife and six-soooter, and, above »!1, for
its barying-gronnd, of which the inhabi
tants tratbfnlly boasted tb*t not an in
mate had died a natural death.
Hi Sing was the handmaid of old Cbing
Loo. Her face was broad, her nose flat,
her girth extensive, her gait a waddle,
her attiro a blue sack, reaching from neck
to knee, blue trowsers, brass rings on
wrist and ankle, and wooden shots, whose
clattering heels betrayed their owner’s
presence, even as the shaken tail of the
angry rattlesnake doth hia unpleasant
proximity. She had no education, no
manners,non-accomplishments,no beauty,
no grace, no ieligiou. no morality; and
for this and more Ah Sam loved her. Hi
Sing was virtnally a slave, haviDg several
years previously, with many other fair
and fragile sisters, Li en imported to Cali
fornia by Cbing Loo; aud not until meet
ing Ah Sam did sba learn that it was her
right and privilege, in this land of occa
sional laas and universal liberty, to set
op for herself, become her owd mistress,
•and marry and flnmarry whenever oppor
tunity offered. Bat Cbing Loo had no
ticed, with a suspicions eye, the growing
intimacy between Ah Sam and Hi Sing;
and arguing therefrom results unprofi
table to hini8«lf, he contrived oue night
to have the damsel packed off to another
town, which happened at that time to be
my place of residence; and it is tor this
reason that the woof of my existence tem
porarily crossed that ot Ah Sam and Hi
Sing.
Ah Sam, following up his love and dis
covering in me an old friend who had en
dured and survived a whole winter of his
cookery -at Swett’s bar, told me his
tronblea; and I, resolving to pay evil with
good, communicated the distressed ^lon-
golian’s story to my chosen and particular
companion, a lenn and cadaverous attor
ney, with whom fees had ceased to be
angels’ visits, and who was then osciilat-
iug and hovering between two plans—
one, to run for the next St Ac Legislature;
th* other, to migrate to Central America
and found a new Republic. Attorney
Spoke, ou hearing Ah Sam s case, offered
to find the maid, rescue her from her cap-
tors, aDd marry her to him permanently
and forever in consideration of thirty
American dollar^; to which terms the
Mongolian assenting,' Spoke and myself,
bnckling on onr arms aud armor, pro
ceeded to beat np the filthy pnrlieus of
Chinatown; and about midnightwefonnd
the passive Hi Sing hidden away in a hen
coop, whither she had been conveyed by
tne confederates of Chins fjoo. We bore
Hi SiDg—who was considerably alarmed,
neither understanding oar language or
onr purpose—to Spoke’s office, and then,
it being necessary to secure the services
of a magistrate iu nniling the conple, I
departed to seek the justice oi the peace,
who was still awake—for justice rarely
slept in camp at that hoar, bat was com
monly engaged at the Bella UuioD, play
ing poker; whilst Spoke sought after the
groom Ah Sam, whom he fonnd ia a Chi
nese den, stupidly drank from smoking
opium, having taken snch means to wear
the edge off bis snspense whilst we were
rescuing his affianced. Not only was he
stapidly, bat perversely drank, bntbeijB-
clared in. imperfect English that he had
concluded not to marry that night; to
which observation Attorney Spoke, be
coming profane, jerked him from the cot
I whereon he lay, and graspirg him about
the neck with a strangulating hold, bore
i him into the street and toward his office,
'intimating loudly that this business had
been proceeded with too far to be reced
ed from, and that* the marriage mast be
consummated that night with or witbOQt
the consent of the principals.
Ah Sam resigned himself to matrimony.
The office was reached, the door opened,
I and ont in the darkness bolted the bride,
{ for she knew not what these preparations
; meant, or whether she had fallen among
j friends or enemies. After a lively chase
we cornered and caught her. aDd having
! thus at last brought this refractory conple
i together, we placed them iu position, and
i the Jastice commenced the ceremony by
asking Hi Sing if she took teat man for
| her lawfn , wedded hnsband, which in
terrogatory being Chaldaic to her, she re-
j plied only by an unmeaning and nnspecn-
i iative stare. Spoke, who seemed destined
; to be the soul.and mainspring of tbf6
whole affair, now threw light on the Mon
golian intellect by bringiug into play his
wtock of Chinese English, aud translating
to her the language of jastice thus:
“Yon like um he, pretty good?” Upon
which her face brightened, and she
nodded assent. Then turning to the
groom, he called, in a tone fierce and
threatening. “You like nm she?” And Ah
Sam, Yho was now only a passive object
in the hands ofVSpoke, f'-ncrd and galvan
ized into matrimony, dared not do other
wise than give in his adneMon; upon
which the justice pronounced them man
and w.fe; whereupon two Virginians
present with violins (all Virginians fiddle
and shoot well) struck up the “Arkansas
Traveler"; and the auditnc*—which was
now large, every bar room in Jamestown
having emptied itself to witness our
Chinese wedding—inspired by one com
mon impulse, arose aud marched seven
times about the conple.
Ah Sam was now informed that he was
married American fashion, and that he
was free to depart with bis wedded incum
brance. Br.t Ah Sim, wnoso intoxication
had broken cat in fall acquiescence with
these proceedings, now insisted on mak
ing a midnight tour of all the saloons in
camp, and treating everybody to the
deathly whisky vended by them, to which
the crowd—who never objected to driving
this sort of nails in their own coffius—as
sented, and the result was (Ah Sam spend
ing his money very freely) that when the
day light peeped over the eastern hills,
the Bella Union saloon was still in full
blast; and while the jastice cf the peace
was winuiDg Spoke’s thirty hard-earned
dollars in one corner, and the two Vir
ginians still kept the Arkansas Traveler
going on their violins iu another, StepLem
Scott, (afterwards elected to Congress)
weeping profusely over the bar, aud on
being interrogated as to the cm-e of his
Badness by General Wyatt, ex-member of
the Bt&te Senate, Scott replied that he
could never hear played the air of Home,
Sweet Home, without shedding tears.
Ah Sam departed with bis bride in the
morning, and Lever were a man’s pros
pects brighter for a happy honeymoon
nntil the succeeding night, when he was
waylaid by a band of disguised white mtn
in the temporary service and pay of old
Ghing Loo; and he and Hi Sing were
forced so far apart that they never saw
each other again. Ah Sam returned to
the attorney, apparently deeming that
some help, might be obtained in that
quarter; bat Spoke intimated that he
conld no longer assist him, since it was
every man's hpecial and particular mis
sion to keep his own wite alter being
married; although he added, for Ah Sam's
comfort, that this was not always such an
easy matter for the Americans themselves,*
especially m California.
Upon this Ah Sam apparently deter
mined to remain satisfied with hia brief
and turbulent career in matrimony; and
betaking himself again to Swett’s bar,
oooked in sach a villainous fashion and
desperate vigor (finding thereby a balm
for an acbiDg heart), that in a single
twelvemonth six stalwart miners gave up
their ghosts through indigestion; and the
little graveyard on the red hill thereby
lost forever its distinctive character of
affording a final resting-place only to
those who had died violent deaths.
SPECIAL NOTICES.
The KancH Bribery Investigation—
A Scandalous Exhibit.
Dividend No. 13.
Washington. Janaary 10.
The Committee on Privileges and Elec
tions commenced to-day the investigation
into the allegations ot bribery against
Senator Caldwell, of Kunqas. The only
witnense* examined to-dav were Hon. Syd
ney Clarke, late a member oi the Hhnse
irom Kansas, aud a candidate for heuator
at the time Mr. Caldwell was elected, and
Mr. Lnce, a member of the Legislature.
Mr. Clarke, whose testimony was quite
lengthy, gave a circumstantial account ot
the late Sedfetonal election in Kapsas,
detailing conversations with various par
lies. He said that alter Senator Caldwell
came to Washington he told him (Clarke)
that his election cost him $75,000 in
money; tha the Kansas Pacific Railroad
had promised to pay pait of his expenses,
and had not come up to their promises;
that he (Caldwell; was watching them,
and when they came to Washington ask
ing for legislation he was going to try to
squeeze it out of them.
Mr! Clarke further went on to speak of
Kansas politics, picturing a condition of
scanda ous profligacy and demoralization
almost if not quite unparalleled in the
history of American politics. He further
said that among others with whom he
talked was Levi T. Smith, the business
partner of Caldwell, who said they were
bound to have the election, if it cost
them $250,000. Caldwell was regarded
in Kansas as a speculator; he had no
regular business; his general character as
as man was snch as to suggest sqppicions
of corruption.
Senator Caldwell, who was present,
here said: Mr. Clarke, what were our re
lations at that time; what did yoa think
of mt?
Mr. Clarke—Yo* have asked me a very
hard question. I £ad very little confi
dence in yon, and although I treated yon
as I tried to treat all gentlemen, pleasant
ly »ud agreeably, I distrusted jqo at every
step.
NIr. Caldwell—What do you think of
me now?
Mr. Clarke—I regard yon as being a
very unreliable >.itd dishonorable man,
ranch to my rt .ret. [Great sensation
among the committee.]
Mr. Culdwell—Did you not say at one
time that yon had sleeted me, and that I
w»ih an honorable man?
Mr. Clarke—I do not think I did that
violence to my judgment.
Mr. Caldwell at this point appeared to
have gotten all the iotoi'matiou he de-
‘sired asto Mr. Clarke’s personal opinion
of him, and propounded no farther in-
: terrogatories.
Mr. Lace was questioned as to the cor-
> rectness of the statement made by Mr.
! Clarke that Luce told him (Clarke) that
! he intended to vote for Senator for the
j* man who would pay him the most money,
1 and, after this, that Caldwell bad paid
| him $2,500 for his vote. Mr. Luce said
he could not remember whether he bad
made those remarks or uot, bnt supposed
he had, it Mr. Clarke said so, but it was
only meant jocularly. •
Tne Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press recently furnished
its readers with the following political
i gossip from the Capital:
The Southern Republicans are begin-
! ing to discover what they conceive to be
their right*, and, like freemen, they pro-
j po*e to maintain them. Not content with
l making an effort to secure either the
Speaker or the Clerk of the next House
from their section, the Southern members
and Senators are now hem upon having a
member of President Grant’s next Cabi
net. Heretofore Postmaster General Cres-
well has been supposed to represent the
Sonth in the Cabinet It would appear,
however, that he is not accepted by many
States sonth ot the Potomac as a r< pre-
penlative Southern Republican. The com
plaint is made that he does not. repiesent
anything but Maryland, a comparatively
small portion of the South. It is undtr-
stcoi that Senator Pool aspires to the
Postmaster Generalship. All the South
ern members and Senutors who signed
the petition for the appointment of Cres-
well propose to sign in favqr of Pool.
Nor will thc-y be content With this. It is
understood that they will wait npon the
President in a body and personally urge
Mr. Pool’s claims. In addition to his
Southern IrieudR Mr. Pool will be sup
ported by s -veral prominent Republicans
from the North, among them Senators
Morton and Scott.

Increasing salaries seems to have been
the order of the day in the Honse yester
day. The attempt lo increase the Presi
dential salary to $50,000 per annum did
not meet with very eDConraging sneoess.
Appearances indicate that tbe temper of
the House is so much against it that the
Sarfate mast first be found ready to give
the proposition their sanction. The bill
to advance the salaries of the Territorial
Governors vras more fortunate, and was
squeezed through the House, though in-

THIS VALUABLE
FERTILIZER
la manufactured by the well known

And is claimed by them to be the HIGHEST
GBADE OF FERTILIZER, equal in its results to

BRYAN & HUNTER,
Sole Agents for Savannah, Ga.
This Fertiliser is prepared from the Ashley
River Phosphates of South Carolina, Peruvian
Goano, and other standard article*. It has been
used in North and South Carolina and Georgia for
five seasons with
Satisfactory Result.*,
Establishing a Permanent Reputation
Circulars giving experience of Planters and
other information, will be found on application
to Bryan k Hunter.
Planters are invited to consider the following
propositions made by the President of the above
Company, Mr. bangs ton, which has been accepted
by Mr. Owens, President of the Agricultural and
Mechanical Association of Georgia:
SAVANNAH, January 6, 1873.
OuTAVUS COHAN, E*Q. I *
Dkab 8m—I have, for some time past, held the
opinion that the only true test of the value of a
fertiliser is tbe result of lie practical application
In the ground at the hands of caretul andlatelli-
gant planters, and that while chemistry Iran ex
act science, and will determine, with unfailing
accuracy, the component parts of any fertilizer,
it affords no protection to the planter unless he
knows whether those component parts are derived
irom bases that will assimilate in the ground to
the growing plant.
It has occurred to me that the meeting of your
Agricultural Society would affurd a very flvora-
ble opportunity of having a practical test made
of the different fertilizers sold in this market. I
propose, therelore, if the officers of the Society
are willing to undertake It, that such test shall ba
made, believing that such a teat will be within
the scope of the objects for which the society was
created. I propose—
1st That a Committee on Fertilizers shall be
appointed by the Society, who will receive dona
tions of one ton or less from the different manu
facturers and agents who find a market for their
products iu this State. That said committee shall
procure suitable practical agricultural trials to be
made with aoch fertilizers
2d. That each partxentering into competition
in this trial, ahall deposit wherever the commit
tee may direct the sum of two hundred dollars,
or a less sum if that be deemed too much, to
await the result of the trial, and tnst when said
result shall be determined one half of the entire
amount ahall be paid to the party whose fertilizer
produced the largeet amount or value of cotton;
one-fourth to the second best, and one-fourth to
the Society, as some compensation for the labor
of making the experiment.
This trial to be subject to the following condi
tions:
1st. That the ground selected for tbe purpose
shall be of the meanest possible kind of thin or
sandy land that will grow cotton at all.
2d. That th* quantity of fertiliser used shall
not be leae than two hundred or more than three
hundred pounds to the acre.
3d. That the fertilizers ahall be drawn from the
stocks of agents, and shall have been manufac
tured prior to the date of this proposition.
4th. That the Committee in their report ahall
■tats the date and number of pounds of each
picking, and in determining superiority shall be
at liberty to consider quality of cotton and early
maturity aa items oouatitutiDg value.
5th. As a thing to be dealred, but not constitut
ing one of these conditions, that the same lard
shall be planted In cotton the following year with
out any additional manure, with a view of de
termining how ter the fert lizers maj have ex
hausted themselves the first year. Every intelli
gent planter will understand the value of this
experiment.
May I ask the favor of yon, as one of the offi
cers of the Society, to present this paper for their
consideration.
Very respectfully.
Your obedient servant,
LAWRENCE BANG8TON
