The Florida Senatorial Electiun.
For a history of the late Senatorial elec
tion in Florida, our readers are referred to
the letter of our Florida correspondent on
our first page. Intimations of bribery and
corruption, which, in these davs, seem to be
in separable from Radical politics, had reached
us from our sister State, but until we had
perused the letter of our correspondent we
were not in possession of the facts. It seems
that the election of Conover over Judge
TSestcott, the compromise candidate, was
brought about by means no less disreputa
ble than those employed by Cameron, of
Pennsylvania, Tomeroy, of Kansas, and Pat
terson, of South Carolina. Radicalism is
fast bringing the United States Senate into
utter disgrace, and if that bodv does not
soon adopt measures to check the svstcln of
bribery and corruption which has been in
augurated by “the party of moral ideas," it
will be powerless to protect its own charac
ter, and Sciiatorships will be publicly sold to
tbo highest bidder.
More Reconstruction in Louisiana.
The bill reported by Carpenter, from
the Special Committee on Louisiana .Matters,
declares the election in that {State held on
Nov r 4th last to be null and void, and re
instates in office the State officers and Lcg-
iaiatun^vho had position at that time. It
further requires a new election to be held for
State officers and members of the Legisla
ture on the second Tuesday of next llav,and
directs Wm. B. Woods, United States Cir
cuit Judge for Louisiana, to proceed to Lou
isiana and appoint two citizens of different
politics to be State Kogistrars, who shall
cause a now registration to be made of all
legally qualified voters of the State, com
mencing March Id, and ending ten days
prior to the date of the election. The Iteg"
istrars are to appoint two Supervisors of Reg
istration for each parish except Jefferson
and Orleans, for which a greater number are
to be appointed, and in each parish the Reg
istrator* are to be divided in politics. The
President is empowered to employ the mili
tary forces on application of the Governor
of the State or of the United States Circuit
Judges, to carry out the provisions of this
act and enforce judicial process, and $200,-
000 is appropriated to d_*fray tho expenses of
registration and election.
And this is free Republican government
under Radical auspices! This right to inter
fere with local govern.ueut in the States
through itsIMilitary and Judiciary, and rev
olutionize,destroy and reconstruct State gov
ernments at pleasure is one of the legitimate
results of the war, so steadfastly adhored
to by the party of progress and moral
ideas. What would the founders of the gov
ernment think of such Republicanism V
The Legislature and the Bond Com
promise.
Wo notice that some of our contempora
ries are rasping the Legislature lor not dis
posing of the bond compromise. Tin’s is cer
tainly unjust, for, in our opinion, this vexed
question is disposed ol most eff ctnaUy.
The last Legislature dc\ hired the fraudulent
bouds issued by Bullock null and void. So
well satisfied were the people with this
righteous decision that the present Legisla
ture, by au overwhelming majority, refused
to consider a resolution looking to*a further
investigation of the bond question. They
considered the action of their predecessors
final, and lelt the question as they had
found it. Papers, therefore, that denounce
the present Legislature for not disposing
of tho subject are thos who favor the com
promise of tho bondholders. For ourselves,
we regard the course pursued as eminently
proper and wise, and certainly conclusive
as a rejection of any measure looking to
wards a compromise. A proposition had
been made Governor {Smith by Colo
nel Snead, agout of the American
bondholders, which was not officially com
municated to the General Assembly by tho
Governor. He had doubtless his reasons
for withholding it; but certain it is that a
resolution looking to tli© appointment of a
committee to investigate the bond question
was promptly voted down. This was deci
sive, in this, that it was a rejecti'tu of the
effort made to re-open . subject which the
people of Georgia, through their Leg i si a- |
ture, disposed of last year. Toe issue as
presented in the shape of a resolution was
effectually mek Papers or persons, there
fore. who charge the Legislature with
shirking responsibility in this matter make
groundless and unjust accusations. The
action of the General Assembly was as deci
sive and conclusive as could be under the cir
cumstances. In this coi.ueetiou it may, per
haps, be well to state, for the benefit of the
advocates of the bond compromise, that tho
representatives of the people wi re not afraid
to meet the issue in whatever shape it might
have been presented.
Had Governor Smith communicated Col.
Snead’s proposition officially, it would have
been rejected by more than a three-fourths
vote in both Houses. Indeed, it is question
able whether it would meet with ad, zeti sup
porters in either House, so object! liable was
the proposition from the standpoint of tho
people, who considered the whole matter set
tied by the last General Assembly. Ami this
was the light in which the compromise was
considered by the memb ers of the present
Legislature. Governor Smith, we think,
*camo to this conclusion, and hence he would
not take the responsibility of resur
recting the bond question. There is
no telling, however, what a year may
bring forth. It may be that public opinion
will do manufactured to see it in a different
light when the Legislature meets again.
But we think not.—August! Chronicle.
The Southern Loan Project.
Sensible people will be surprised tu learn
that tho absurd scheme suggested by Gov.
Walker, of Virginia, for the assumption of
the debts of the Southern States by the
j General Government, has been serious
ly entertained by the Virginia Legisla
ture, a committee of the Senate, to whom
the Governor’s financial message was refer
red, having reported in favor of “the re
commendation of the Governor as wise and
e xpedient.” The second resolution of the
committee requests that the Governor shall
“transmit copies of their resolutions, with
the message, to the General Assembly of
each of the States, and reqnest their con
currence therein, and that our Senators aud
Representatives in Congress be requested to
give this matter their earnest and careful at
tention.”
Governor Walker’* proposition is Burned
up as follows :
First. The assumption and payment by
the United States Government of all the
present legal indebtedness of th<- several
States; ana, second, to prevent the recur
rence of a necessity for similar action here
after, the solemn agreement by and between
the States to abstain from contracting any
debts in the future except such as may bo
lound necessary to the legitimate aud effect
ive execution of their governmental func
tions, or as may be required by sudden and
great emergencies.
We can hardly believe that the Virginia
Legislature will favor a proposition so utter
ly impracticable and Quixotic, and which is
so subversive of local State government and
tate Rights. Surely a scheme tending di
rectly to centralization aud consolidated
government must encounter the uncompro
mising opposition of Democratic statesmen
North aud South. The bate to the South
will not socure the consent of the poople to
such an abandonment of principle, while it
is not at all probable that the pill can be so
sugared as to commend it to tho approval
< f tho honest, reflecting tax payers of the
North. The fraudulent feature of the pro
position is clearly set forth by the editor of
the Courier-Journal, in whose general views
n the subject wo entirely concur. The edi
tor says:
“There is one feature of tho proposed bill
providing that the Federal Government lend
its credit to the Southern States which
makes it smack strongly of a gigantic and
dishonorable joD. The debts of the States
iiiciuded in the proposition amount to $291,-
00,000, and the advocates <>f the measure
are endeavoring to induce the General Gov
ernment to absorb this amount by issuing
> 125,000,000 worth of its own bouds at par,
bearing fonr per cent, interest, with the un
derstanding that at the expiration of four
ears the States referred to shall pay tho
Government six per cent, interest on those
bonds for twenty years, at the expiration of
which time they will be required tu pay off
the entire principal. Now, the fact is that
the average market value of the bonds
issued by the carpet-bag governments ot
the South stands at only twenty per cent.
They can all bo bought at this rate, aud
; his gross value would therefore be only $58,
.00,000. If the General Government wishes
to assume this indebtedness for the period
of twenty years, therefore, it can procure
the bonds at this sum, or at $00,800,000 less
than the jobbers propose it shall give for
t hem. The argument used by the lobbyists
.hat, as tho debt was imposed upon the
- v outhern States by the carpet-baggers act
ing under the reconstruction measures, it is
therefore the duty ol the General Govern
ment to mitigate the wrong, is mere sophis
try aud sham; for, if the Federal Govern
ment purebaso these bonds at their market
value, the rolief to the Southern States will
bo more complete by $06,800,000 than if the
sum of $125,000,000 be paid for them. To
put the case in a nutshell, the proposition is
simply that the General Government guar
antee to the holders of these bonds a proflt
*.f $00,800,000.

No market reports to-day.
Colfax Five Months Ago.—While poor
Colfax is floundering about in the hole dug
for him by the great American shovelier, the
following extract from a speech delivered
by him at South Bend, Indiana, September
25th, 1872, will be read with painfnl interest:
Let me detain von a few moments, my
townsmen, while 1 touch a fabric of false
hood with the spear of troth, exposing the
so-called “Credit Mobilier scandal,” that
you may see out of what worthless stuff
campaign charges are manufactured. * *
Neither Oakes Ames nor any other per
son ever gave or offered to give me one
share, or ten shares, or two thousand shares
in Credit Mobilier or any other railroad stock,
and that, unfortunately, I have never re
ceived tho value of a farthing out of tho
270 per cent, dividends, nor the ®0 per cent,
dividends in cash, Btockand bonus you have
read about every day lor the past month,
nor one per cent., nor one-tenth of one per
cent.
A steamship company, with a capital of
one and a half million rix-dollars, has been
organized in Stockholm, Sweden, for direct
trade between that port and New York. Two
new iron steamers, of two thousand tons
each, will bo put on the line the coming
summer and, if they succeed, the number
will be increased.

The Travels of a Bottle at Sea.—The
Mobile Register has received from the toll-
keeper at Grant’s Pass—picked up ou Dau-
phine Island, after a severe blow from the
southeast—a sealed bottle in which was en
closed the following note in Russian or some
Sclavonic dialect written in pencil on a
stained scrap of paper. The Russian Consul
at Mobile rendered the note into English as
follows:
Ship “Janas.”
We are broken to pieces and have foun
dered near Kamcratschi, (off the coast of
Alaska) ou the 20th of June, 1870.
Dowadzla Huy.
Four other signatures follow, and some
letters which seem to be an attempt at an
expression equivalent to “God have mercy
upon us !” aud it is painfnl to think that the
imminence of their fate compelled the unfor
tunate seamen to seal up this farewell to the
world without completing it. This may also
account for the fewness of the signatures,
which are evidently in two or more different
hands.
This bottle must have drifted down the
North and South Pacific Oceans—round Cape
Horn and up the mid-Atlantic—keeping clear
of the African as well as of both American
coasts, till, at a comparatively late date, en
countering the groat equatorial current, the
mother of the Gulf Stream, it was swept by
it through the Caribbean Sea, between Cuba
and Yucatau,and at last landed on the shores
of the Gulf of Mexico.
A Highland State.—Among the new pro
jects with which the lobbies of tho Capitol
at Washington are teeming, is tiio formation
of a new State out of Western North Caro
lina, Eastern Tennessee and Southwestern
Virginia, with the capitol at Knoxville or
Chattanooga. It will be observed that this
area embraces some of the highest moun
tain land in the Union, the Cumberland aud
Blue Mountains being within it—indeed it
would be purely a mountain State. The ap
propriate and familiar name of “Alleghany”
is proposed. The projectors argue that as
coal aud iron underlie the whole surface of
this section, the new State could easily be
made the great manufacturing center of the
Union. There appears to be somo propriety
in the mountaineers gathering themselves
together in one community, but it is doubt
ful if they can procure the assent of their
respective States to a dismemberment.
Georgia’s Gallant Senator. — General
Gordon, Georgia’s new Senator, is deservedly
admired by the people of that grpat State
for his true manly character. His real in
tegrity, modesty, ability aud natural noble
ness <ff soul are spoken of by all parties in
Georgia with enthusiasm. In these degen
erate days, when the party miscalled Repub
lican has brought the once honored Senate
of the United States down to its present la
mentable condition, and filled the places of
the statesmen of other days with a mob of
intriguing and corrupt men of fourthrato
ability aud ninety-ninth rate morality, the
election of a truu man like General Gordon
is a circumstance well calculated to revive
tho waning hopes of the lovers of their
country, and reawaken a faith which has
seemed to be dead—A. I. A ews.
In the United States Senate on Wednes
day, an important bill was introduced au
thorizing the Texas and Pacific Railroad
Company to consolidate with or lease any
railroad in Taxas or California connecting
with its main line, on such conditions as
may be prescribed by the laws of those
States, and also to construct branches from
the main line to points in Utah and Colo
rado, or tho State line of Nevada, and south
to the Mexican boundary, one branch north
and one south, to be so constructed from
the main line in each of the Territories of
New Mexico and Arizona.

Lobbying to Save the Victims or Cbei.it
Mobilier.—A Washington letter says: “The
lobbv have shaken hands over a compact to
secure Ames, Brooks, Collar, Dawcsand tho
rest of the alphabet of Credit Mobilier spec
ulators from expulsion or censure. Learned
lawyers, played out politicians, impecunious
ex-Congressmen and rapacious reporters are
purring around Poland and making muen
of McCreery. Whether they can thus hood
wink justice and shelter criayn^ remains
to be seen.
The Greensboro' (S. C.) Patriot says sev
eral more Canadians have arrived at Brown
Summit, Where they have purchased one
thousand acres, and will locate. There are
several other arrivals looking oni for homes.
This is but the beginning.
“Who aro tho parties that will thus be
bone-fitted ? Are they really the friends of
the South, or are they Wall-street specula
tors aud sympathizers with the carpet-bag
gers and thieves of that section ?
“It is known that a large number of the
bonds alluded to were issued contrary to law,
;.ud the States are neither morally nor legally
bound for them. The plunderers who went
South first plunged the States which they got
control of in debt as deep as their constitu
tions allowed. After stealing this amount
they resorted to quirks aud quiddities,
and even issued many bonds which were
in palpable violation of the fundamental
law that limited their authority. It is
clear that the States cursed by their
control arc neither bound by law nor morals
to pay the bonds thus issued. Yet the
carpet-baggers were able to negotiate them
among their sympathizers in Wall street
and among their deluded victims iu London
at from ten to fifteen cents on tho dollar.
These voluntary accomplices or ignorant
j dupes now apply to the General Govern*
j meat to purchase these comparatively worth-
ess bonds at about forty-three per cent.,
when they can as easily be obtained at
wonty, which will afford them a gross profit
of nearly seventy millions of dollars. In
order to do this, we suppose, they are wil
ling to distribute at least one million of dol
lars among members of Congress where it
will do most good, and that we will have
another scandal o’ertopping Credit Mobilier.
“Now, if the honorable gentlemen of
Congress really wish to afford relief to the
.South let them remove the unjust barriers
which prevent the most intelligent citizens
of that section from managing their local
concerns, and let the affairs of those States
go once more into the hands of those who
have the greatest interest in their wise
aud faithful exercise. Upright and learned
judges will then assume tho seats now occu
pied by such beastly bloats as Durell, the
validity of the bonds will be passed upon,
and what is justly and legally due will, in
the course of time, bo paid according to
the letter of tho bond. This is the only
practicable mode wo can now see of repair
ing the wrong ths Federal Government has
J>ne, and all other modes are mere sham
and mockery.”
Georgia was forced by the Federal Govern
ment to repudiate her own honest clebt. She
does not now ask the General Government
to becoidfc her endorser lo secure the ulti
mate payment of the fraudulent debt cre
ated by carpot-bag thieves aud plunder
ers in her name. Her poople ask no Federal
donations, they do not even expect restitu
tion of the millions that have been extorted
from them by unconstitutional legislation.
But they do ask to be let alone in tho law
ful, conscientious management of their own
afiairs.
THE WEATHER.
Washington, February 23, 4:19 p. m.—
For Monday in New England, diminishing
westerly winds aud rising temperature. For

barometer and partly cloudy and clear
weather, with somewhat milder temperature.
Iteports are missing from nearly all States
east of tho Mississippi river.
ELECTRIC BREVITIES.
The main part of St. Petersburg, Clarion

The President’s residence, six miles from
St. Louis, is burned. No insurance.
The Missouri House passed a resolution
exonerating Bogy from bribery in the Sena

The Credit Mobilier Infamy.—What is
the moral of this mournful episode ? Noth
iug more than that which may bo pointed
by the whole history of the corruptionists
iuto whoso hands the control of the Repub
lican party has latterly fallen. It is of the
nature of all fanaticisms to commence in
dupes aud end in rogues. Some who once
perhaps supposed themselves to bo serving
“the Lord's cause” aro now led on only by
Mammon, “the least erected-of tho spirits
that fell from Heaven.” Aud to-day these
mouthing hypocrites can only serve as
modern instances of the wise political saw
pronounced by Dr. Johnson when, as Bos
well tells us, he once surprised a company
by affirming that “patriotism was the last
refuge of a scoundrel.” Aud if the investi
gations now in progress shall accomplish no
other good they will at least drive some
“scoundrels” from the “last refuge” in
which thev have been hiding for too many
vears.—A. Y. News.
The editor.of the Lancaster, Pa., Express
tells this story, but ho never writes under
oath: “A wife of nearly ten years, haring
given her servant a holiday, was attending
to culinary matters herself, and hearing her
husband coming in tho kitchen thought she
would surprise him as soon as he entered
the door by throwing her hand- over his
eyes and imparting a kiss on his brow as in
the days of the honeymoon. The husband
returned the salute with interest, and said,
as he disengaged her hands, * Mary, darling,
where is your mistress?’ The wife dis
charged ‘Mary, darling,’ the next day, and
has adopted a* new plan of ‘ surprising ’ her
husband.”

the bo vs were committed for trial, and the
other discharged. How often and how badly

A New Confidence Game —A well-
dressed young man stepped at a Vermon*
hotel last week for a few days and mad?
acquaintances. The evening of the sec
ond day of his arrival a nice yonng lady
came along, unattended, and instantly at-
tracted the attention of the impressible
youngsters, who canvassed her charms
fully as thry sat apart from her at supper.
The stranger youth even went so far as to
ay he would marry her if she would
have him ; and tffered, {or a substantial
wager, to pop the question and have the
marriage ceremony perlormed right away.
The wager wa* accepted, and also the
proposal of marriage made so suddenly to
her by tue youug man, and the parson
called m, who soon united the twain. The
sum wagered wav paid over to the happy
bridegroom, and he and his bride set < ff
next day on their marriage tour. What
lends romance to the circumstance is the
fact that the young couple had already
been man aDd wife lor a year.—Concord
(iV. II.) Daily News.
Wonderful if True.—The St. Louis Dem
ocrat has private advices to tho effect that
both Bismarck and his wife have been greatly
injured in health by the perusal of poisoned
letters. Exactly how the thing is done is not
given; but the fact that both are suffering
from a peculiar indisposition is positively
stated. Bismarck is so troubled, it is said, with
dizziness, that he scarcely leaves the house*
while his spouse, who always reads his cor
respondence with him, is stricken with “un
accountable feebleness.” Their palace has
been closed during the whole of the winter,

A Mad Mormon.—Brigham Young's prin
cipal mouth-piqce, the Salt Lako News, ab
solutely boils over Utalj affairs at Washing
ton. Alluding to a remark of the Phila
delphia Press that Brigham Young is a blot
which ought to be wiped out, it says this
argument is mad clap-trap, inflammatory,
wild, senseless, extra judicial, aud adds: It is
the divine idea that excites the animosity of
Forney. Seduction, adultery, prostitution,
whoredom, Tweedism, Credit Mobilierism,
anything, can be endured, except that which
is divine.
The South Before the War —One
thing may be said ot the f min- m men of
all parties, who. in happier days, iepre-
sented the Sonth in the ccuuci s of ibe
nation—no suspicion rested ou tbeir per
sonal integrity. They were often poor
trier. They were always •hone > -t mea.
They wonld as soon have handled coun
terfeit money as touched the rotten specu
lative forms ot corporate credit which is
now a sort of Congressional currency.
Fancy John Gaiilard. John C. Calhoun or
Nathaniel Macon dealing in Credit Mo-
belier, and being the tools of Massachu
setts adventurers?—Nw York News.
Trichina Spirales.—Several cases of
Trichina) are reported in Cleveland, Ohio.
Tho disease is confined to one family named
Kruger, consisting of father, mother and
lour children. The family were accustomed
to cat cold sausage containing raw pork,
which was diseased.
Decline in Nails.—At a meeting of the
iron and nails manufacturers of Pittsburg
and Wheeling the present card rates were
adhered to, but 10 t > 60 penny nails wero
reduced 50 cents per keg, and 3 pennies ad-
ts per keg.
Immigrants.—A party of German immi
grants arrived in this city yesterday en route
to tho home of their employer in McDuffie
county, a short distance from Augusta. The
party consisted of seven men, three women
and throe or fqur children—all of them
healthy, bright, intelligent looking people.
Thev came from, Prussia, aud were brought
out by Mr. Iselier, a McDuffie comity planter
—who grew weary of waiting for le'gislative
action. We wish that a hundred thousand
such people could be brought to Georgia
every year.—Augusta Chronicle.
Profits of the Pen.—Some years ago an
eminent publisher gave Lord Lytton £20,000
tor the use of twenty of his novels for a rail
way library. It is said that this is the
largest sum ever paid in England for a copy
right. Tho most successful publications of
the day, however, from this point of view,
are not novels, but sermons. It is said that
the representatives of tho late Rev. F. W.
Robertson, of Brighton, have received, in
the course of some years, upwards of £30,-
000 for the publication of the various volumes
left at his death.

The Doctor Laving been specially

treatment of tuborculsr affections of tbe lungs
or consumption, and diseases ol tbe rc^p.ritcry
o. gans generally. Ho invites ladler and gentle-
■u n who are troubled with tubercular itfF-.ctlina
of tb<* lun. t>, bronchitis, asthma, cat;r:h, or any
di*«-*8c to which the r<iep ratory o-garni are sub

tOceauA extensive practice enables bia to de
tect and d'.scribo the exact condition ol your

TO THE SOUTHERN PUBLIC.
An advertisement appeared in tlie
News cf this day. beaded “ (southern Gem ”
Pianos.-ign* d by Ladden A Batts, wb:ch I am
compelled to notice, as it contains accusations
totally devoid of truth, reflecting upon my charac
ter. While I do not fear tbs Judgment of those
who know me, I propose to defend myself with
those readers who are no*, acquainted with either.
I have b**eu in bu.in ss in this city o>v*n
year*, eixteen in this State, and twenty-throe in
the Noutb, coming among :ts people from the old
country when I was a boy, and having iived
among them M«r since. I do not, therdore, fear
tbai *uch charges as mad** by tbe above parties
esu have auy t fleet whatever. In regard to my
'•Southern Gtm" Pianos, I would sta:ethat they
are just as good, it n< t 8 .porior, to any sold by
any other house. I am s.t.sfied t_> believe tbe
competent testimony of a practical piano maker
in this City, who ba-< worked in t-olh iactories,
wh-re mine and L & B.’s southern Gem Punoa
are made, that mine are by iar tbe mod durable
and beet Pianos of the two. I have in no l -
stance attacked tbeir instruments, either pro
nouncing them not genniu*. or m anyway depre
cating their value. If goods wi,l not sell upon
tbeir own merits, without recourse to such ques
tionable snb:erfuge, they are not worth keeping.
Alton.dug strictly to my own business, keeping
mo fully occupied. I conscient.ously believe a
discriminating public is perfectly capable of
jadg ng which euits them bert, and all fl-.ming
advertisement* and ridiculous bombast will de
ceive but few, If auy.
It is very siraDge this Southern (P) Music House,
as they style themselves, have, since the com
mencement of their career in this city, in 1870,
byimansof proluse uae^of printers' ink. icsti.
tilted a regular crusade against all and everybody
who they may hvve considered in competition
with them, no matter if such a business has ex
ited long before they were ever beard oi, or
even against those that propose to engage in tbe
same line of business as theirs hereafter, bach
a course was never pursued by auy Savannah
house before the war. The adoption of it now,
may be considered as one of the evil effects
thereof.
For tbe information of those who purchased
my “Southern Gem” Pianos, although as* tired
that they give entire satisfaction. I beg to inform
that tbe name of “Southern Gem” was Dever
claimed by me as trad.- mark; it cau be nsed by
any piano manufacturer, not being copyright.
Therefore, it is absolutely false that my •‘South
ern Gems” are an inlringement upon the trade
mark of thtlr pianos. E. P. Hale, oi New York,
who makes theirs, puts any name on them a deal
er wants. This he told me in person last eey-
tember. If, however. LIB. think it an infringe
ment, tbe Courts aVe open to them to test the
question. Nothing would please me better to
have them do so.
