Resumption of Specif. Payments.—The
x ew ^-*°rk Bulletin commends Senator Sher
man s bill for the resumption of specie pay
ments on the 1st of January, 1874, which at
6 , 8ame ^ me mo< Rfi e s the National Bank
ky repealing all limitation of the issues
® ^ a tion&l bank notes and doing away with
T e legal reserve. The writer thinks the
period specified for resumption is most judi-
cious, giving ample time for preparation to
meet the effects of tills measure, and yet
not deferring it needlessly, and thus keep
ing the oountry long :n a transition period.
The Bulletin predicts that if the bill be
passed gold will be at par before the first of
November next, without the slightest injury
or inconvenience to the community, and
that in the future monetary crises will be
come as rare as they in the past have been
frequent.
In the Senate of the United States a bill is
under consideration altering the value of the
English pound sterling as expressed in our
money. Formerly an English pound was
worth 4.44 4-7 Mexican dollars, and this ratio
once established has been maintained in our
dealings with England, but the actual value
of our coins is less than that of the Mexican
dollar. It takes $4.8G 65-100 of our dollars
to equal the value of a pound sterling. The
bill of the Finance Committee simply recog-
nizss this latter as the actual value, and pre
scribes that after next Jauuarv contracts on
the basis [of $4.44 4-7 to a pound shall be
void, and that exchange shall be at the rate
of $4.85 G5-100 to a pound.
Fortune Hunting.—The New York Sun
of 23d instant has an account of the pursuit
of a “lost fortune,” instituted by the heirs
at law of one Isaac Phillips, a native of
Eaton, Mass., who was engaged in the slave
trade in the South fifty years ago, and is
supposed to have died in the State of Ver-
ginia about the year 1835. It is believed
that he loaned to or deposited $40,000 with
a bank in New York city about 1806-10, and
the said heirs wish to recover this amount,
with interest added. The first step isdo as
certain the name of the bank, and they ofl'er
a reward of $20,000 for l9gal evidence of the
existence of the liability They may as well
ofler $120,(00.
The New Orleans Picayune says: “The
fact cannot be disguised that a sentiment of
dissatisfaction is becoming more and more
apparent among those adhering to thocause
of the Bayonet Legislature. For a day or
two past many have beou heard to express
feelings of. abhorrence, not only as to the
constituent elements of that body, but also
as to the manner of its induction to power.”
When the period of passion passes away, the
people of New Orleans and Louisiana cannot
fail to recognize the danger attendant upon
Federal interference with localaflairs in that
State, and banish from power the men who
invoked the interference and profited by it
A bill to abolish the reading and writing
clause in the stated qualifications of voters
in Massachusetts, is before the Judiciary
Committee of the Legislature of that State,
and the Boston Post says: “If their report
on the subject is in keeping with the force
of reasoning and weight of testimony al
ready presented, it will not fail to approve
cordially the proposition. There is manifest
inconsistency, as well as injustice, in impos
ing on the citizen of Massachusetts voting
restrictions which the party that rules Mas
sachusetts insists on removing from the
blacks of the South.
Gathering Stamps.—The Swiss Times of
the 7th instant says that some time ago two
youths of Berne addressed a letter to Presi
dent Grant, asking him to aid them in gath
ering a collection of American postage
stamps. A few days ago the said youths un-.
expectedly received through the American
envoy at Berne a fine assortment of United
States stamps, accompanied by a letter, in
which the President said that his many
duties had prevented him undertaking the
collection himself, and that therefore his
youngest son had taken the matter in hand.
Debt of Texas.—The State debt of Texas,
as appears from the Governor s message, is
$1,668,998, which he says could bo paid off
in one year by a tax of one-half of one per
cent, on the value of the property of the
State. This amounts to $220,200,524, ac
cording to an assessment carelessly made,
and is, of course, much underrated; $1,222,-
221 was spent last year for educational pur
poses, and 127,672 children attended the
schools; 91,600 emigrants arrived in the
State in 1872, and since 1871 five hundred
and sixty-seven miles of railroad have been
built.
The people of Louisiana ought to feel
themselves under great obligations to tho
boot-black Pinchback, who has been elected
to the United States Senate by negroes and
bayonets, in true Radical style, for declaring
that be will not “lose sight of the interests
of the white folks” of the State. The Lou
isville Ledger thinks that for an African col
ony, the whites are fa\orably situated, and
ought to be as happy as a set of monkeys
under the government of a full-grown go
rilla.
The Shah of Persia is to be entertained in
regal manner in England. Buckingham

lly by England during the coming strugglo
ith Russia in Central Asia, and hence the
roposed treatment of the Shah of that
ingdom.
Italian Immigration.—A Milan letter
ates that in consequence of a dispatch re
ived regarding the recent Italian emigra-
m to this country, tho Italian Govern-
ent has issued imperative instructions to
e Prefect of Turin to impede all emigra-
jn to this country, and to permit only
osc Italians to leave who have documenta-
assurancc of employment upon their ar-
val here.
repayment of Postage.—A Washington
>atch says Mr. CreswelTs scheme to re-
•e prepayment of postage on all news-
ers is quietly pushed by the Adininistra-
forces, and that unless there is an im-

How'to Induce Emigration to Georgia.
Latest advices state that organized efforts
are making in Germany to promote emigra-
tion to America. It is stated that ten thous
and tobacco growers and twelve thousand
wine growers propose leaving the Father
land this season to find homes in the United
States. The Italiair Government is also en-
| couraging emigration to America from
that country, and is adopting measures to
protect emigrants from imposition by im
migration agents and ship-masters. The
immigration to the States from other coun
tries promises also to be unusually large
j this year.
In view of the great want of laborers in
Georgia to supply the places of the discon
tented negro politicians who are leaving the
, State to try their fortunes in Arkansas and
elsewhere, it seems of the utmost importance
that whatever measures are to be adopted bv*
our State Legislature for the promotion ana
encouragement of immigration should be de
termined on and put in operation at once.
The bills now before the Legislature are am
ple in their provisions, and if promptly adopt
ed, with corresponding efforts on the part of
the friends of European immigration, could
not fail soon to directa large portion of the
emigrants now preparing to leave for
America to our own borders. A very neces
sary and effective means to accomplish this
desirable object would be the diffusion
abroad of a thorough knowledge of the
great .advantages offered to immigrants by
onr section over those of the North and
West, already overstocked with labor, and
where, as a consequence, wages are lower
lands dearer, and every prospect of the
immigrant less favorable than in the South.
Among the first steps to bo taken by
the friends of immigration of the
South should be the preparation of
comprehensive treatise, giving a full de
scription of the geography of the State, its
railroad system, its agricultural products,
soil, climate, mineral resources,temperature,
and health statistics. This treatise should
be carefully prepared from the most reliable
sources, and translated into the languages
of the countries where it is designed for
circulation, and where it should be freely
distributed. Such a publication at this time,
giving all the information desirable to the
emigrant, and contrasting tho attractions
and advantages of our State with those of
the already overdone North and West—our
genial climate, productive soil, diversified
products, valuable staples, convenient mar
kets, cheap lands—could not fail to create
a diversion in our favor, and bring thousands
of hardy and industrious foreigners to make
their homes in our midst, thus filling with an
intelligent, frugal and industrious popula
tion of our own race, tfie places of the tur
bulent, improvident discontents who are
leaving us.
There could be no better time than tho
present for the preparation and publication
of such a hand book for the immigrant.
While the substantial statistics would speak
volumes in our favor, the contrast of the
mild winter which we have just experienced
with the fearful storms and death-dealinj
froBts that have swept over the North and
West within the past few weeks, would most
surely determine the minds of immigrants
in favor of our more temperate climate and
genial soil.
The Demoralizing Effect of Kdcicalism,
It is, says the Boston Post, just such a
course of corrupt conduct as the Credit
Mobilier investigation discloses that has
wrought the demoralization of our reigning
politics. All this philanthropy and patriot
ism have long been secretly working for the
main chance. In the flat fall of Vice-Presi
dent Colfax, his party associates are suf
ferers with him. No amount of future es
says on general goodness, published in the
columns of the Independent, will condone
what he cannot effectually deny in respect
to himself and the Credit Mobilier. Mr.
Ames produces the proofs of his assertions
in Mr. Colfax’s case; and in that of Mr. Pat
terson he not only brings forward the lat
ter’s own receipts for dividends, but a letter,
written no longer ago than the 4th inst., to
decoy Mr. Ames into a line of concealment
in the event of being “pressed.” It is at
once astounding and disgraceful. What
can be the character of the legislation for
which such men are looked to by the coun
try ? Colonel McComb seems to have disap
peared as a figure from the scene. He has
fairly succeeded in bringing together Mr.
Ames and his Congressional beneficiaries
before the public and setting them to ques
tion one another, satisfied that in this way
the whole truth will soonest appear. The
Patterson letter expresses the real feeling
that led so many Congressmen to surrender
their stock as soon as they heard whispers
of a “lawsuit.” A lawsuit, for them, meant
investigation and exposure.
A Palpable Hit—Spanish Tbavesty of
Grant’s Message.—The Havana Voz de
Cuba, in an editorial in its issue of Saturday
last, says the defeat of the United States
troops by the Modoc Indians is certainly a
fact that does not honor much the arms of
the great republic. This war of extermina
tion has been sustained more years between
the civilized Americans and the Indians than
our own war against those who wish to drive
us from our homes and country. This In
dian war wounds humanity in its noblest
sentiments, and is a real scfandal to this cen
tury of humanitarian sensitiveness. Being
so close to the frontiers of his Catholic Ma
jesty, he ought, in his next speech to the
Cortes, indicate to Mr. Grant how much the
Spanish people is affected by the proceed
ings of his Government against the poor In
dians, and should tell the whole world that
this fight is against a race who are the pos
sessors of the land wherefrom they are to
be exterminated. The King might also in
dicate to Grant the means he ought to em
ploy to civilize instead j)f to exterminate the
Indians, giviDg Grant’s Government as a
guide the policy pursued by Spain against
the Indians when conquering them in Amer
ica. The Yoz also advises the principal
European journals to send correspondents
to find out the truth of what is passing in
the Indian Territory, where has occurred a
defeat so dishonorable to the American
arms.
The Criminals in Congress.—A Washing
ton dispatch says there is trouble brewing
in the Radical camp, growing out of the
Credit Mobilier investigation. Ben. Butler
has announced that the party cannot afford
to retain criminals, as he calls them, like
Dawes and Garfield at the head of the most
important committees, and that these posi
tions must be transferred elsewhere.
The rival claimant to the Speakership,
Maynard, is also intriguing for a caucus
wherein the situation may be talked over and
war may be declared upon all those Repub
licans who have been tamted with even the
suspicion of having Credit Mobilier stock.
Leading Republican Senators hold and ex
press the opinion that the Samana Bay pur
chase will result in “the necessity of protect
ing American citizens by our official protec
torate over the Island of Santo Domingo, and
finally in its annexation. This lich company
going there will soon control tho interests of
the island, and it will not be long before they
will appeal for protection either from foreign
Governments or from the Haytian or Santo
Domingo Government. The United States
Government must thus protect its citizens,
and from a protectorate to annexation is but
a step, believed to be within the reach of
those at the head of the purchasing scheme.”
In other words, it is the old San Domingo
job in another shape.
Probable Bankruptcy of the Union-
Pacific.—It is the talk in Washington in
private but well informed circles that a pool
is now being formed, in which the Central
Pacific Railroad is the loading figure, to buy
up the Union Pacific Railroad in case of its
going into bankruptcy. It is also charged
that the latter event is probable from inter
ested motives. The sale would be made by
the trustees under the first mortgage bonds,
and it is believed that the sale would not
realize over $15,000,000.
The Governor of Arkansas has issued his
proclamation ordering an election for March
upon the pending amendment, doing away
with the disfranchising clause of the Con
stitution.
The New York Post complains that during
the late storms the decks in the steeples in
that city have stopped. The weather must
be cold indeed when it paralyzes the hands
of time itself.
The Eastern (Question-Austrian View
of the Russian flareh.
Vienna reports of a very recent date ex
press the opinion which prevails in the
Austrian capital with regard to the Russian
march in Central Asia, and its consequences^
in the following words :
Russia is pursuing her grand aim in Asia
at once in a diplomatic, military, ecclesiasti
cal, commercial and civilizing point of view.
A Russian proverb says, “Where date trees
thrive not neither thrives Mohammedan
ism.” There may be som'* truth in the
adage. Be this as it may, Russia’s advances
towards Central Asia and toward India ex
cite the liveliest interest in Viennese mili
tary and scientific circles. An unintermit-
tent and earnest study is being made of the
subject. It is here held that Russia is at
present advancing in the direction of Cen
tral Asia and India with the same unflinch
ing perseverance and consistency with
which, during a twenty veers war, she not
only subjugated, but absolutely annihilated
or dispersed the independent peoples of the
Caucasus, whose assimilation was found to
be impracticable.
Russia’s insatiable love of conquest, her
farsightedness and perseverence, are doubt
less of a nature to inspire alarm, while, on
the other hand these cnaracteristics arc not
the less entitled to a certain degree of admi
ration. In ihe|same way as miners explore^
country in tho hope of discovering veins of
ore, the Russians scientifically examine and
explore those countries which they intend to
occupy, and long before the occupation takes
place these examinations and explorations

other produce, by any of said corporations,
in violation of the provisions of the first and

flict with this are hereby repealed.
It will be seen by our Atlanta dispatch that
a motion to reconsider the bill yesterday was

body, if the vote in the House is an indica
tion of the popularity of the measure, it
will no doubt be passed.

The Union Pacific Railroad.—The an
nual report of tho Union Pacific Railroad
Company, recently communicated to the
Senate, shows that subscriptions have been
received for 367,830 shares, at a par value of
$36,783,000, of which $36,762,395) has been
paid. The receipts from passengers, freights
and miscellaneous sources to June 30, 1872,
amount to $7,962,170. The entire cost of
the road was $114,258,535. The indebted
ness of the company is $75,874,512.
Similar information is given of the Central
Pacific Railroad. The amount of stock sub
scribed is $59,644,000, amount paid in, $54;-
283,190 ; amount received from passengers
and freight, $9,373,765. The expenses of
the road for tho year were $4,317,332 32.
The indebtedness of the company is $80,-
900,132. The Government directors of the
Union Pacific report the road in fine condi
tion. They believe that tLo efforts made
by the General Superintendent to prevent a
snow blockade will be successful if he is al
lowed to perfect them, and with good man
agement they believe the road can meet all
just demands of the Go\ eminent.
The directors call special attention to the
contract with tho Wyoming Coal Company,
it being alleged by members of the Union
Pacific Railroad Company that nine-tenths
of the whole amount of stock, $500,000, be
longs to the company. The contract gives
to a single corporation for a term of fifteen
years all of the coal lands belonging to the
Union Pacific Railroad Company, and thus
establishes a fuel monopoly along the entire
line of road. The price stipulated to be
paid for the coal is exorbitant, the average
for tho fifteen years being over $4 a ton at
the mine. They think the Government ought
to remedy this difficulty.
A Fearful Story of Poverty.—A seam
stress was arrested the other day, iu Brook
lyn, for pawning clothing which she had
taken home to sew, and upon her examina
tion the following evidence was elicited:
She asserted that she was employed by a
Miss Philips, of this city, who paid her
seventeen cents for making four pairs of
trousers, fifty cents for making twelve pairs
of drawers, aud twenty-five cents for making
six shirts. Because she did not finish the
trousers as soon as sho had agreed to Miss
Phillips refused to pay her, and she there
upon pawned them to keep her family from
starving. Here is a case which ought to in
terest those women who are continually cry
ing out against tho tyranny of men. ft was
not a man who exacted from this^Kior seam
stress such quantities of work at such a pre
posterous price. It was a woman who re»
fused to pay her the wretched pittance which
she asked, on the pretence that she had not
finished her work sufficiently soon.—New
York Times.
Dying Alone.—Nashville, January 28.—
A few days ago a Mississippi steamboat
rounded to at Madrid Bend, Kentucky, and
put ashore in the woods near by’, two degro
men who were suffering with the small pox.
Owing to the hideons nature of the disease,
the citizens became alarmed, and the un
fortunate beings were allowed to remain
wilhout food and shelter from the severe
weather and rude winds until death ended
their sufferings. But sad as this appears, a
more shocking story makes the sequel, for
their bodies wore seized upon by hogs and
partially devoured, when some one bad the
kindness and courage to place the ghastly
remains under the earth.
Death from Meningitis.—Among the suf
ferers from the sudden and fatal outbreak of
meningetis at the Mess Hall of Mercer Uni
versity, is the name of the worthy Superin
tendent of the building, Rev. James Mc
Bride.
On Sabbath last his little daughter, aged
about five years, also fell a victim to tho
same dreadful malady. Mr. McBride had re
sided in the Hall witn his family, and was a
most efficient and faithful officer. No one
could have been more attentive to the sick
up to the disbanding of the students. Hia
child was a bright and promising littla girl,
and her death was a terrible bereavement to
the fond parents.—Macon Telegraph.
Highway Robbery.—Early on Tuesday
morning Mr. L. C. Carpenter, editor-in-
chief of the Columbia (S. C.) Union, while
on his way home from his office, was at
tacked by two highwaymen, who demanded
his money. The gentleman, with great
presence of mind, drew liig revolver and
fired at tho villians, who, taken aback at such
sudden resistance, turned and fled, firing
as they ran. Half an hour later, noises*
were heard by the family of Mr. Carpenter,
indicating the presence* of burglars about
the premises. These, however, failed to
effect an entrance.
The little son of a very prominent min
ister of this city said lo his father:
“Pa, St. Paul was a Yankee.”
“How do you know that, my son ?”
“Why, sir, in the 18ih verse of 8th
chapter of Romans, he says: ‘For I
reckon.’ None but Yankees say reckon.”
—Baltimore American.
If St. Paul had been a Yankee he wonld
have said “guess” instead of reckon.

27th inst., says: “There have been alight
eruptions from [Mount Vesuvius lately. No
damage done, but some alarm created. ”
tax on agricultural products by municipal
corporations.
Mr. Hoge supported the motion; Mr.
Jones, of Burke, and Mr. Tutt opposed, in
extended and animated speeches. The mo
tion for reconsideration was tabled.
The argument in opposition to the pas
sage of the bill was unavailing. While it
was general in its application, the bill was
mainly leveled at Augusta, where the city
levies a tax of a quarter of one per cent, on
the gross sales of cotton when sold by fac
tors. It is unjust to charge factors with im
position when this tax is put in the planter’s
bill of sale. The city charges factors two
per centum on commission and storage, and
they charge a tax of one-quarter of one per
cent, to planters, which is just, under the
law. There is no tax imposed by tho city
when the planter sells the cotton himself,
and they insist there shall be no tax when
sold by the commission merchant for the
producer.
It is useless to present the argument that
cities have to support Police and Fire De
partments aud sustain other expenses of
well-regulated governments. The country
members don’t see it, and there’s an end of
it. While this is a serious loss of revenue,
it must be provided from other sources.
But it is not right to make cotton factors the
scape-goats for municipal corporations. The
bill will pass the Senate.

shal of the State, is expected to arrive here

confined iu jail only on bread and water un
til he purged, Ac., Ac., when he was com
mitted to the custody of the Sergeant-at-
Arms until he purged.
The Speaker, addressing Mr. Stewart,
asked him whether he was now willing to
appear before the Committee and make
answer to questions, for the refusal to
answer which he had been ordered into
custody.
Stewart said : Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen
of the House of Representatives: I dis
claim any contempt of the authority of this
House or of its Committee. I have stated
before the Committee and Honse that I
have fully answered all questions except
those matters that came to my knowledge
solely from my relations as counsel, and I re
spectfully protest against answering. I re
fuse to do so, and 1 decline to disclose any
thing confided to mo as counsel.

at-Arms.

Sprague to reconsider the vote by which the
Morrill amendment was adopted prohibiting
the payment, unless by special act of Con
gress, of judgments of the Court of Claims
to claimants whose loyalty during the rebel
lion had not been proved. Mr. Trumbull
argued in favor of the motion to reconsider
and against the amendment, which he said
would isolate tho plighted faith of both the
Legislative and Executive Departments of
the Guverhment. Messrs. Morrill, 1 .dmunds
and Scott made arguments on the o - her side.
The motion to reconsider was agn cd to by
yeas 29, nays 26. Stevenson moved to lay
the amendment on the table. Lost by yeas
28, nays 31. Alcorn, of Mississippi, offered
an amendment to the amendment extending
the time for the presentation of claims
twelve months from the passage of this act.

on the table. Agreed to by a vote of 32 to
27. Alcorn then moved to amend the Mor
rill amendment so as to make it apply only
to the claim of G. B. Lamar, of Georgia.

the table, which was agreed to. after some
dilatory motions on the Democratic side.
The Morrill amendment, unchanged, was
then agreed to by a vote of 25 to 23.

The drunken Judge Dwell, wl ose de
cision was Grant’s prearranged er ins© for
the overthrow of the LouisiaL* State
Government, that his brother-in- aw, Ca
sey, and the negrp gambler, Pii ihback,
might reign supreme at the mouth of
the Mississippi, was not then lor he first
time guilty of a reckless perversion of law
and disgraceful use of his power. The
Supreme Court of the United S ates, iu
Case vs. Jerrell, ’(11 Wallace, 200.) in
overruling one of this besotted miscre
ant’s decisions,administered such a rebuke
as nowhere els© has been uttered in the
history of the Court. This was its lan
guage :
“ It is seen from tho bill and decree that
while the United States was not made a de
fendant, and while it is well settled that it
could not be sued in the Court below, the
only relief prayed by the bill was relief
against the United States, and the only de
cree rendered which was not merely formal
was a decree against the United States for
over $200,000, and a further decree barring
her right to assert her priority as a creditor
of the bank in the distribution of its funds.
“It is strange that in any court professing
to administer the English system of equity
jurisprudence, such a decree could be ren
dered against any one not a party to the suit,
and who had in no manner appeared in the
case ; and it is almost incredible that in any
Federal Court of this Union, except the
Court of Claims, a monej judgment could
Ka randarn/l trrainaf +Via I’nifad Ktatno ”
be rendered against the United States.
We commend this decision to the notice
of the Committee of the House.—N. Y.
