der of Major General Buell during the re

Mr. Blair explained the circumstances of

but as a measure of economy, to save guard

to the*euemy.
Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, thought the
subject should be approached with much

tablished would be looked upon with great

tions, who claimetT for their citizens the

cited a number of authorities in support ol
his position.

SAN DOMINGO.
New York, January 17.—A meeting of the
members of the Samana Bay Company will
be held ou Monday, when the report of the
Commissioners, just arrived from San Do
mingo, will be presented, and when, it is
said, permanent officers will be chosen and
future plans of the company perfected. The
Commissioners state the company intend alj
produce of the island to be brought to Sa

to settle on the island—settlers to be exempt
fron^military duty. They deny emphatical
ly that the President or any member of tho
Government has pecuniary interest in tho
enterprise.
PRINCE NAPOLEON.
London, January 18.—Prince Napoleon re

Almost Just.
The House of Eepreseutatives have
barely missed another opportunity to do
justice to the South; and not only to do
justice, hut to exeeute a master stroke ot
good policy. On a motion to suspend
the rules and pass the hill repealing the
iron-clad oath law—two-thirds in the af
firmative beiDg required—tbe vote stood
yeas 123, nays GG. 1 hree more affirma
tives would hare settled toe question for
that branch of Congress. This shows a
large gate ou the last test vote, and en
courages the hope that another trial
presently will be successful. It ijonld
puzzle the most censor;..ns to find any
where in the South at this day, a sound
reason for maintaining the iron-clad oath
and the generally repressive system which
followed the war. There is no trouble
outside of Louisiana, and that trouble has
nothing to do with the “rebel spirit.” Its
fomenters are chiefly carpet-baggers or
Federal spoilsmen, and theobjectsstriven
for are power and plunder. No political
principle smacking ot secession or South
ern rights is involved. It is a fair ques
tion among caud.d und impartial ob
servers whether about ail the oifficu.ty in
Louisiana is not of Federal making,
whether the Custom House party and the
United States judges aye not far more at
fault than the other sid-. Such was the
view taken by a lares number of Northern
merchants whose card we printed the
other day. . .
But whoever is most to blame in Louis
iana—whether the Federal party who as
sume the right to govern the State, or the
parly opposed to such interference-it
must be admitted that nowhere else in the
broad South is there any sign oi disturb
ance. It is fairly due to a people so
thoroughly minding their sj*n business
and so weil behaved, that in thjs, tbp
eighth year after the close of the war, tbe
Mast ban upon them should be removed.
There would be a marked propriety in do
ing this aeiof wise discretion now, when
President Grant has received the votes of
so many Southern States. The Souihern
people by considerable majorities have
paid him the compliment of their support;
and the tpwat that he and his administra
tion can do in return is to see that uni
versal amnesty is sp6ndijy proclaimed.
The effect of this would be much pjore
than sentimental; it would he a practical,
tangible gcod to the whole country. It
would restore to citizenship now de
barred from it by ah oaii. which they chd
‘ tognqrably take; and the benefit of
not would be felt in iho&tate'
their c -i'jjnvepi.ments in positions ior

promote their collective prosperity. i
Every time the Federal power has loot
ened its grip on the South and trusted
the people to the instinots of their mau-
bood, they have straightway shown a dis
position to take bold and improve tbeir
condition. We believe that the procla
mation of a general amnesty would be
followed by marked changes for the bet
ter throughout the entire South—changes
in government, in business prospect^ in
values of ail kinds. The incidental effeot
of such a policy upon Congress would be
excellent. It would put a stop to all that
troublesome legislation about litt.e boutn-
ern matters which now occupies abont
half of the sessions, and which is tne
fruit of suspicion, malice and greed.
This would leave to Congress less excuse
for neglecting the substantia! interests of
tbe country, which coaid then perhap
obtain the hearing and atlention now de
nied them. Hensons _ why general am
nesty should be proclaimed are thu.lt ti
blackberries, and we do not know of a
single good reason why it should be loog-
er denied.- -N. T. Journal of Commerce.

Exodus of the German Catholics.
An initialise Catholic emigration from
Germany is s>*id 10 bo impending, in con-
s-qU’.nce of ibe difficnluef, between the
Imperial government aud the dignitaries
of the It 'man Church. Tbe suuemen'
seems to b*» that ihe young Catholics will
come to America, and ;his we should
thiLk probable. The whole body of Ger
man Catholics could not bn expatriated at
once. The thing is impossible. It is very
likely that tbe measures to impede emi
gration have been taken in expectation of
this movement. If a hundred thousand
leave in tbe course of a j ear it is about as
much as can be expected; and if any
greater number leave, the infectious na
ture of such efforts will be apt to cause
a remarkable exodus. The German
Catholic emigration to the United States
has long been large and increasing. It
conies irooi all parts of the Eui ; ire where
Catholics are to be found, and now consti-
tuies an element disijuct m character
among us with societies and cLarches of
its own. Tbe basis, therefore, already
exists, aud the German Catholics in com
ing to America will comb among their
kind.
Hera they would not bo in aoy d» gree
undesirable as an element of population,
as they would soon be lost in the over
whelming mass of the people of oth»r
creeds. That they would affect material
ly the Irish element in the courch is setn
from what has already occurred. But of
that the people at large Cad take no not.*,
the important fact for consideration be
ing that they can be absorbed here, just
as we have absorbed tne French Catholics
of the Mississippi valley, the Spanish
Catholics of Florida, Louisiana, Texa°,
New Mexico, Arizona and California, and
the Irinh Catholics of the Northern !State«.
Such beiNg tfie case, we see no reason to
regard the ^bspect of ft large German
Catholic emigration with regret, as both
in tha character ot the race and the genial
nature of their manners, customs and in
stitutions, they a pleasant people to
lire among and valuable to any nation.
Fortunately for us, the wise forefathers
of the Republic laid broad and deep the
foundations of complete religious free
dom, an entire separation of Church and
riude, and a perfect equality for ail re
ligions. The Jesuit causes no uneasiness
here, however be may abroad. Tho Irish
Catholic is a good citizen and a thorough
patriot, somewhat noisy aud turbulent at
times, perhaps, but always manageable
and a genuine Republican. So, we think,
the fugacious German Catholics wiJl be,
also. We note in some quarters some un
easy expressions of opicAon at the pros
pect of this avalanche. But there is no
occasion for it. Tho power of the native
race in this Republic is sufficient for tha
management of any element that may
come. Moreover, tbe non Catholic immi
gration so far outnumbers the Catholic
that apprehensions are groundless.
Ih tfii.-se remarks we have assumed that
the Catholics of Germany may possibly
emigrate, not because we believe the
Jesuit lath' rs have a sufficient influence
among them tor that purpose, but because
the breach between the Imperial author
ities and the Papal Government is grad
ual y widering, diplomatic relations hav
ing been suspended, and a Papal allocation
issued against the German Government.
This matter is not of recent date, but ha*
been deliberately contepiplated by Bis
marck from the first, on aooonnt of the
use made by France of her supremicy io
tho Church as a political element in the
international relations of the great Poweis.
For this reason we do not expect any im
mediate solu*ion of the difficulties ; and
Rre, therefore, prepajed to see a large

The Jesuits at Chicago allege that the
design of the Emperor is to make him
self the head of the Church as he ‘.s of the
State. How he can do so, being a Pro
testant, we cannot see. He is not the
head of the German Protestant Church.
But what is clearly true is that tbe aim of
Bismarck .s to gpt rid of the weakness
caused by tbe division of Germany into
two hostile sections, into one of which
Austria or France can always inject some
cause of distraction. We have ourselves
said long ag > that his aim was in some
way to organize a national German
Charcb, and that we believe. Bismarck
is determined to have no Ireland or Po
land in Germany; but poshibly he may

Washington, D. C., January 15.—Ttfe
Credit Mobilier investigation lose* noth
ing in interest. Every day soma new
feature of Congressional rascality ’.s
elicited. This morning it aopeared that
Duranl, as President of ihe Union Pacific,
had given ion thousand dollars to procure
Senator Harlan's election; aud to-night
Bushnel!, « trustee under Oakes Arne**’
contract, swears he gave five thousand
dollars to effect Senator Thayer’s election
from Nebraska. It is thought that this is
only a part of what is coming. •
Farnsworth’s resolution, adopted to
day by the House, ins'racis an inquiry to
be made wheiher any suras wer- pa*d by
the Credit Nobilier or Union Pacific to
any member of t*ie {louse for services ns
counsel, or to effect thb election apy
member of Congress. It is understood
that this howl will ca’ch ConkliDg acd
Ben Butler as counsel for the company,
and Matt Carpenter, whose election as
Seuator is said to have been assisted in
this way. Butler came into the Senate
this morning, and whs in close confab
firs' with Conkling and afterwards with
Carpenter. The conference was supposed
te grow Q£t of a common interest and
peril. There is an um^nopy rtjinor in
circulation to-day that Oakek Ames will
finally make a clean breast of it, and
disclose the names of a good many m-m-
bers as being mixed up ia these transac
tion#.
It is thought that tb.e fee" of this ex
posure will create a powerful intereat op
posed to Ames’ expulsion, as be would
then have no longer a motive for conceal
ment. It is stated that Ames denies that
Gar£o!d ever repaid him the $400 which
he borrow**. LZcCcmb is in good spirits
to-day. He says that he is **tia-
fied that he has established the tlath of
tbe statements made by him acd denied
by Oakes Ames, especially as to the fist
of Congressmen, and that iu regard to

house, and pushing open a door to the
right peered into an apvr-ment from
which reeked tbe odors of a 'debauch.
Gaining breach and courage for the tusk,
the official entered a cheerless, dark den,
containing a stove, a chair, two tabtes. on
ono of which w-is a tin par. containing
victuals thit the meanest cur would re
fuse, a couple of broken trunks, and
wearing apparel of the frowzy order, tbe
whole iu a state of indescribable con
fusion.
On the floor to the lrft of the stove, the
fire iu which had evidently bem out fur
hours, with her head in a tumble-dcwn
cupboard filled with broken crockery and
a variety of rusty kitchen utensils, was a
dirty, ill-clothed, ill-favored young women
in a dire state of intoxication, and to the
right of the stove was an old woman of
about eighty years of age, half nude sed
much under the influence of liquor, who
was chanting a sort of doleful bacchantd
and rolling her sDarse gray hairs on the
ordure-covered floor. Tho whole sooke
of a deep, reraoreseless carousal, but a
closer inspection revealed sinister patrhes
of a dark, clammy appearance everywhere
—on the walls, on the floor, on the stove,
on papers and books scattered pell-mell
on the table to the left of the window, on
tho rags that littered the p’ace. A candle
was lighted and the spots revealed them
selves into blood.and pointed conclusively
to the tragical end of tbe orgie at which the
inebriate women, wbo were in such a stale
as not to notice tbe intrusion, had assist
ed. To the rear of the chamber in which
the women, Ann Sheffeliu and her
daughter, Mary Moore, lay sleeping off
their debauch was a still more forbidding-
looking apartment, before the portal of
which the officer of the law, steru as was
bis calling and accustomed as he had been
for years to terrible sigh4p, faltered. The
reader may perhaps sneer at his timidity;
but a pool of blood to the left, and a daik
w niing BTam of the same awfully sug
gestive fluid, pointing into the obscurity
of a den dark as a dog’s mouth to a human
source wbioh the imagination invest with i
a multitude of ghastly mutilations, a«e i
indices which no human heart can espy l
with indifference, and which make the
stoutest fee! disinclined to push the in
vestigation farther.
At last the half-opened door is pushed
wide, and with breath held and teeth
clinched the officer gnzes on the vilest
hole that human bdDgs ever huddled to- 1
gether in to rob winter of part of its sting.
No corpse yet, however. Od the wai! to
tbe left wa*i an immense splash of b’o^d.
as if a huge sponge filled wan gore had
been violently throwu against it, while 1
the floor below was sa'urated with the
crimson life-fluid which had gradually
drained off into the front room. No sign
of a tenantable bed anywhere. Portions
of a rickety bed stood under a window
begrimed with filth, and bundles of cloth- ■
ing and pieces of kindling wood littered j
ihe floor. Eat the door obscures part of !
the chamber, which is about eight feet by : ^
ten, and, to gain an entrance, has to be ! ?

comely in form, but old, hideous, and
bloated by debauch and poverty, i es on a
rotten straw pallet soaked and matted at
the head with blood. The corpse seems

ina obliquely upwards towards the ears,
and from thence in the direction of the

The Brown Pardon.
A correspondent of the Pniiade’phia
Press, faithful Administration organ,
says :
“Your correspondent called this morn
ing ;*t the Department of Justice for
purpose of ascertaining the f.icts and t ir
on m-tances connected with tbe pardon of
Jamrft H. Brown, who was convicted of
repeating at tbe recent election in Phila
delphia. The Attorney General stated
that the grouuds upon which Brown was
pardoned were, first, that the record
«howed that he had been a good soldier
during the war; second, that he was a
respectable mao. with a family dependent
upon him; third, that the jury that bad
couvicted him had united iu a petiti in
for his pardon; and fourth, that he was
recommended for clemency by a number
of -the distinguished citizens of Philacei-
phia. Tne Attorney General refused to
allow your correspondent to look at the
list of names rec uimendingthe pardon.”
If the citizens who recommended this re
markable interference with the course of
jastice be “distinguished,” and not noto
rious, why should tbe Attorney General
refuse to give tbeir names? If they bo,
as we donbt n^t te tbr case, notorious po
litical sympafiiiz- rs aud co-operators with
Brown,, who fesr he may “peach” on them,
wo can perfectly understand the reason of
reserve. Sure are we that neither the Judge
nor tho District Attorney will be found
amongst them. They will turn out to be
recruits of the Ring directed by the R'ng
i 1 self. As to tbe fact of this convict hav
ing been a good soldier, giving it as a rea

Eveiything p whs done to check;
the flames but tury could not best-.\ed
until the ab v properry had all been
destroyed. F r u-lately ibe wind was
from the south. . st, or we might have
been called upon to reeoid ihe dv struc-
tion of a large p.r.ion of the city, as it
was blowing furiously at t o time. So
strong indeed was the ga e that it carded
the fire across tha river to Messrs. Martin
A H iilett’s distillery, probably halt a mile
from the scene of the fire, and at one
time it was thought that the wotks there
would be destroyed. Tne coals fell and
were fanned into a flame in sev-ral p* r*
lions of the yard and one end of tbe office
wss burned, but the flames were fortu
nately suppressed by the wise precaution
always taken there to guard against fire.
When the fire was first discovered, the
schooner J. M Morales was lying at the
wharf, within a few leet ot the burning
shed, but a line was gotten out and she
was hauled off, not, however, without
having been damaged somewhat by the
heat. Another vessel, the brig Open Sea,
was lying at a wharf a little above the
fire, and she wa- towi d out by the Reve
nue Cutter W. H. Seward, and assistance
was al.ro rendered the Morales by the Cut
ter, Capt. Carson having steamed up im
mediately sod run over to their assistance.
.Capt. Carson also, with a very commenda
ble forethought, kept his men in boats
cruising around fee docks, to render as
sistance in any way that they could.
Messrs. Stransz & Rice’s building, just in
the rear ot the fire, also caught, but was
extinguished with but little damage.
The fire department all worked faith
fully and according to their several abili
ties, although the heat from the burning
rosin was fficat intense.
Thu losse were quite heavy and foot
up n riy $15,000. Messrs. George G.
Barker & Co. lost 3,000 barrels of rosin
ail
valued at $12 000. On this amount there
whs an insurance of $9,000 in the Liver

owns the wharf and the buildings, esti
mates Lis loss at $1,500. on which there
was no insurance, and the Wilmington
Gas Light Company lost about 100 cords
of wood, the estimated value of which
was $500, and on this there was no in

dreadful diaeaae diabate.—auger In the urine—
during whioh^time my aufferinga language canid
not Keeclrbe. My dlaeaee waa contracted in t-ep-
tember, 1870—nearly three yeara ago—while in
the employ of Ool. Edmund Harrison, in Mont-
gomory. Ale., who knowa of my caae well. I wa.
treated by a.l the best physicians of the principal
Southern cit;es, and nearly all cf them gare np
my case aa Incurable, alter treating me kr weeks
or months. I also triad the mountain air of Bir
mingham, AI*., And tried hitters and all kinds of
patent madlcleee. Nothing reached my disease,
or touched the root of It, or changed my urine]
which was white, and soon aft.r being voided In’
the inn cryat.liied Into sugar. I had to get hp
every half honr daring the night to drtni and
void water. Everything I ate and drank turned
Into sugary urige; AAd tans, by ounce*. I waa
waated and reduced from a atroag, bealtby, atom
dan of 170 pounds, to a akelatoo of S9 ponnd*
Forty-eight hours after I oemmencsd Dr. Jons*’
treatment my urine changed to a ngtqrai color
with ihe natural odor, and 1« a f.w daya my palm
and ilia all left me. wid i feel aa well as I ever did
in ir,T hava good, natural appetite, natural
and regular bowel*, and am gaming mj former
activity and .trength dally, bat my teeth are loos*
and discolored from th* bad afreet, of the mar-

A Good Story.—Dr. Willett, lecturing
in Boitou tbii olfic-r us^uj, fc°'4 a droll
atory of himself. lie mud that at hue tim?,
when ho was a connoisseur in bird-stuff
ing, he used to criticise other people’s
bird-stuffing severely. Walking with a
gentleman one day, he stopped at a win
dow where a gigantic owl was exhibited,
“You see," said the doctor to bis friend,
“that there :s a magnificent bird utterly
ruined by unskiiltel stuffing. Notice the
mounting! Execrable, isn’t it? Nj living
owl ever roosted in that position. And
tbe eyes are fully a third larger than any
owl ever possessed." At this moment the
stuffed bird raised one foot and solemnly
blinked at his critic, who said very little
more about stuffed birds that afternoon. .
The New York World says: The most
industrious auieudef of the Constitution
in Washington is carpet-bag Gongreas-
mau Porter, of Virginia, whose title to
lame is that he procured the imprison
ment of the man who ‘ licked” him in ft
drunken brawl. His iatest proposition is
th%t members of the House of Beprese-
senlativee be ejected for font years in
stead of two As A- Warff c?igbt have

spoken of In the medical books, and used In the
common practice, and grew worse under them all
th. time, until th. dreadful disease Impaired trj
whole ayetem, produced severe neuralgia, general
debility, and disfigured my nose, and destroyed
my aenae of smell. In this condition I placed
tuteeif under tbe pro.esalcual care ol Dr. J. A.
