SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 14. 1874.
Axotheb Coubt Dinner.—The third
State dinner of the season took place at
the White House on Tuesday night.
Those present were the President and
Mrs. Grant, Lieut. Col. Fred. Grant, Miss
Nellie Grant, Gen. Harney, the Portu
guese Minister, and Madame Lob, the
Spanish Minister, the Bussian Minister,
the Belgian Minister, the Turkish Minis
ter, the Minister from Ecuador and
Madame Flores, the Minister of the-
Netherlands, the Japanese, Chilian and
Danish charge d'affaires, the French
charge d’affaires and Madame de Tour-
rene, Senator Gordon, Senator Patterson
and Mrs. Patterson, Bepresentative and
Mrs. Parsons. Bepresentative and Mrs.
Bradley. Bepresentative and Mrs. Wool-
ford, Bepresentative Clark and Mrs.
Clark, and Representatives Lowndes and
Phelps.— Washington Star.
We observe that Lieut. Fred. Grant and
Miss Nellie are always provided with
plates at these State dinners. Now it
seems to us that there is a certain degree
of impropriety in this thing. The ample
fact that Fred, and Nellie are the children
of the President confers upon them no
official rank or consequence, and at State
dinners, at which none but high officials
are invited, we cannot understand why
Master Fred, and Miss Nellie are any
more entitled to be of the company than
any other well behaved boy or girl of
Washington city. To our mind, there is
something that looks very much like an
attempt to ape royalty in this parade of
the junior members of the President’s
family on State occasions.
A Court Sensation.—The Louisville
Ledger says Mrs. Chief Justice Waite has
already issued her first decision in the
supreme court of fashion. She has de
cided not to wait on any of the female
dignitaries, not even Mrs. Fish, which is
pronounced by all a violation of the con
stitution. It is also reported that Grant
enjoys the imperious demands of Mrs,
Waite hugely, and is right glad that Mrs.
Fish has had her fins clipped, so that she
can’t swim as defiantly as has been her
practice. As a matter of course, there is
great commotion among the tad-poles,
minnows, porgies, porpoise and whales
of Washington society. Mrs. Waite
giving them a specimen of the Toledo
style of doing up the first lady business
which may inaugurate eternal enmities,
upset established usages, burst fashiona
ble rings, and make another amendment
to the Constitution necessary. If the
difficulties which Mrs. Waite has produced
cannot be quelled, a Cabinet meeting will
be called and steps taken to have the mat
ter settled by arbitration. The proba
bilities now are that the Empress of Rus
sia, Queen Victoria, and Mark Twain will
be called upon to restore quiet.

The extent to which the practicability

lly known. Until we read
Washington correspondent
ork Journal of Commerce,
that Col. Baiford’s
water transportation
had been tested on the North Atlantic
coast, and that there has been for some
time uastTn successful operation lines of
steam communication between New York
City and Southern North Carolina all the
way without going to sea, in which over
sixty regular steamers do the business of
the route. The route is along the Bari-
tan River to New Brunswick and the Del
aware and Raritan Canal to the Delaware
River, thence through to the bay and on
through the Delaware and Chesapeake
Canal to the Chesapeake Bay, thence to
Norfolk,' and on through the Albemarle
and Chesapeake Canal into Cam tuck and
Albemarle Sounds, and away along again
through Pamlico Sound and the Neuse
River to Newbem. Vessels that will
not live in the ocean passage can go
inland all the way from New York to
Newbem when the canals are not frozen.
Mr. Marshall Parks, Resident of the
Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal Com
pany, says it 'is practicable to go all the
way Jto Florida that way with a little more
expense. AH the interests involved in
this are private enterprises, and are do
ing well. They send lumber, tar, tur
pentine, Ac., from North Carolina, coal
from up the Potomac, and heavy freight
from Baltimore and Philadelphia to New
York, and take supplies back for Balti
more, Norfolk and the Southern country.
During the last year there passed through
the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal 2,075
steamers, 1,380 schooners, 592 sloops, 225
barges, 88C lighters, 460 boats and 152
rafts, and there is no doubt that this is a
small showing compared with the busi
ness done by the Chesapeake and Dela
ware Bay and Delaware and Raritan Ca
nals. So, says the writer in the Journal,
our coasting trade of this kind is not an
unimportant affair.
The proposed coast-line water-route to
connect the Mississippi river with the
South-Atlantic, by which the bays, rivers
and estuaries which extend from Lake
Ponchartrain to Savannah and Charleston
would be utilized with great
my, would possess advantages over this
North-Atlantic inland route, as it would
be the channel of an immense com
merce, would be much more direct and
would never be obstructed by ice. In
view of its great importance, not only to
the West and South, but to the commer
cial world, we confidently predict that,
like the Northern route above described,
it will be ultimately accomplished by
Look Out pob Poison Syrups.—The
New Orleans Picayune complains that
fraudulent Northern-made syrups “flood
our markets, underselling the genuine
article, discouraging home trade and
home consumption, as well as attacking
health by the most deadly and insidious
agents.” A correspondent adds: “Short
crops and high taxes have used the planter
up; fraud is now dealing him the finish
ing blow.” The Picayune also repub
lishes the result of an analysis of the
fraudulent article, which, it is certified,
'‘contains no sugar at all, but is produced
by the destructive action of strong sul
phuric acid (oil of vitriol) upon starch.
With abundance of excellent Georgia
and Florida syrups at moderate prices,
if our people are poisoned by this vile
concoction it will be their own fault.
Cheap Railroad Tranhpobtatjon,—An
arrival of fifteen ear loads of flour at
New Orleans, by all rail carriage from
Waterloo, Illinois, in seven days time, at
$1 24 per barrel, excites the imagination
of the Tribune, which says:
It would cost from $2 to $2 25 to trans
port a barrel of flour from Waterloo to
New York.
The opening of this great north and
south route from Minnesota to the sea is
an event of vast importance to us, and
the successful experiment already made
foreshadows a revolution or a reconstruc
tion of the lines of transportation from
the interior to the coast, which opens a
brilliant commercial prospect for New
Orleans.
Atlantic and Gbeat Western Canal.
—Senator Gordon introduced in the Sen
ate on Tuesday, a bill granting aid to
the Atlantic and Great Western canal
nrojeet, aimilar in its provisions to the
bill introduced in the House, The Wash
ington correspondent of 1he Baltimore
Sun says: “Gen. Gordon says these bills
contain in the main the same provisions
as in the bill introduced by him last
spring. He is very enthusiastic over the
project, and is confident of obtaining
government aid. It may bosauLbpwever 1
that appearances do not indicate thgtth;
confidence is well founded.”
The National Walhalla.—Congress,
by the act of July 2, 1864, extended an in
vitation to the various States Of the Union
to contribute two statues of deceased citi
zens, eminent in science, politics or war,
to be placed in the old hall of the House,
which was thereby set apart as a national
statuary hall. So far only Rhode Island
and Connecticut have responded in full
to this invitation. The New Jersey statues
will be shortly received, and one from
New York, Gov. Clinton, has recently
been received.
The Centennial.—The New York Pott
gives cp the projected Philadelphia Cen
tennial show a* a hopeless failure, find
points out the utter absurdity of the
scheme in an elaborate editorial. But the
editor think# that the Centennial should
be celebrated in some fashion. He
thinks “it mill b# celebrated, even if the
President and Confess take that day to
go a fishing." Nobody w® object to the
President and Congress going a $ebjng
off that day, provided they dig ttoirwn
bait and furnish their own refreshments.

ber of the personal friends qf Edwin
Booth gentlemen of wealth and position—
are to have a conference in New yV;r){
with a view of discussing the feasibility
of doing something to enable him to re

General Grant’s grand scheme of coast
line land-locked water communication,
following the entire Gulf and Atlantic
coast.from Texas to Long Island Sound.
The Philadelphia Centennial a Failure
A Philadelphia letter in the Baltimore
Sun says—Considerable anxiety is felt in
Philadelphia just at present concerning
the Centennial, owing to the unfavorable
attitude which the leading New York pa.
pers have recently assumed towards it
since General Hawley applied to Congress
for financial assistance. It has long been
patent to the centennial board of
finance that it is futile to hope for any
material aid from private subscriptions.
The members of the board of finance
either personally or through authorized
agents have for the past six months been
busily engaged in soliciting subscriptions
from private individuals in all the large
cities of the Union. They have invaria
bly received earnest and cordial support
from the newspapers of those cities, but
every effort to draw money or indeed any
thing more material than mere words of
sympathy and encouragement has so far
proved unavailing.
Even here in Philadelphia the number
of shares taken in Qeqtegqial stock has
been too small to justify the hope of
carrying the enterprise through by pri
vate means. Every one knows that, in
all probability, the exposition will not be
a financial success! No great world’s fair
ever has proved a profitable undertaking
in. a. pecuniary sense. Men who have
>ney, therefore, donot subscribe-more
than enough to secure themselves and
families admission on reduced terms to the
exhibition building, or to secure, as they im
agine, some special advantage in case they
haye goods $o display. Everything that
could be done to give the enterprise a na
tions} sharsete’r has keen done without
avail, and the Geqtenqial Gonpnissioners
find themselves now almost exactly where
they were two years ago. There is im
mediate necessity far some prompt and
decisive action in the matter. Congress
will be forced to vote an appropriation,
or refuse it, almost at once, for within
fhree weeks the Centennial Commission
ers Vtwt make their contracts for build
ings which will cover nearly fifty acres of
they must begin the work of con
struction; and pursue it uninterruptedly
for the two years that now remain to
them.
What Georgia Pays for Taxes.
The report of the Secretary of the
Treasury, sent to Congress last week,
shows how much the Georgia merchants
pay for custom duties at your different
ports. The table is as follows:
Savannah.?.*.*.!?! .....i.ML’.'.....'.MTt,sh 08
St. Mary’s 1,030 41
Prsnesvick : 8,70S 42
Total..,,.........4307,549 91
The amounts colleoted from the people
>f Georgia for the last year, on account
of Internal Revenue, was. as follows;
From 1st Revenue district... 1..*. 4 90,471 90
tram 2d Revenue district 61,336 90
from 3d Revenue district 116,330 65
from 4th Reyenne district 223,052 56
Total $490,090 61
Thus it will be seen that the State of
Georgia pays “Internal Revenue” and
“Custom Duties” to the General Govem-
ptfilit to the amount of near $700,000, and
retype pjtiful allowance of $8,325 only is to
pe spent within her borders for the ensn-
Ugyear, and that by the direction of the

CONGRESSIONAL.
Washington, February 13.—In the
Senate, Sargent presented a memorial
signed by 16,658 citizens of California,
calling the attention of Congress to the
influx of the Chinese on the Pacific Slope.
Sargent said there were sixty thousand
Chinese near the Pacific coast. They
underbid native lafyir. They imparted
no value to the community. They
were pagans. They evinced no de
sire to become assimilated to our
institutions. There has been bnt one or
two instances known where any of them
had expressed a desire to become citizens.
They add nothing to the Rational wealth
of the community, taking away with them
all that they accumulated, and not even
allowing their hones to rest in' American
soil. This was a question which did not
now concern the States of the east, bnt
would soon become a national question.
The Pacific coast was the gateway through
which these people would pass, and
finally spread over the whole country. The
memorial was referred to the” Committee
on Foreign Relations!
The resolution offered a few days ago
by Mr. Bayard, ‘calling upon the Presi
dent to inform the Senate as to the con
duct of Maj. Lewis Morrill, an officer of
;he army on duty in South Carolina, was
aken up and discussed by Bayard and
Scott.
Mr. Bayard, during his remarks, re
ferred to tiie fact that many members of
the South Carolina Legislators were ig
norant, not being able to read and write.
Mr. West, of Louisiana, inquired of the
gentleman whose fault that was.

Gen. W. T. Sherman, 'Washington :
The trouble with the Sioux, which for
some time past we have been trying to
avoid, seems now to be beyond any peace
able solution. In addition to the killing
of Lieqk Robinson and Corporal Cole
man, the chief clerk at the Red Cloud
agency has been killed. The agent of
Spotted Tail’s agency reports that
large parties of hostile Indians
from both agencies have left for general
hostilities. Gen. Ord has sent oat scout

Gen. P. H. Sheridan, Commanding Mili

Your dispatch of this morning re
ceived. Under call of the Interior De-
lartment of today, gent to. your

be justified in collecting the most effec
tive force possible, even if you draw
cavalry from Fort Riley by rail to Chey

The striking of every party of radians
who has marauded south of the North
Platte should be demanded and held as
accomplices in the murder of Lieut-
Robinson. Their ponies must be very
poor now, and the game most he scarce,
so the occasion to give the Sioux a lesson
so long merited seems to me favorable.
My own opinion is that the Sioux should
never again have an agency from the

close proximity to this body there are
supposed to be two other men, who were

Notice to Ruptured Persons.
Dr. J. L. Rowe, of New York, desires to call the I
attention of the Raptured persons of Savannah to j
his successful treatment and cure of Rapture.
Dr. R-v in order to arrive at the absolute ccr- I
tainty of the correctness of the peculiar course of [
treatment invented and adopted by him, devoted
great attention to the mechanism of the structure
involved iu the course of Hernia, so that he is now
assured, by a large experience, that it is in ac- j
cordance with the principles of science, and with I
the most universally acknowledged practice of I
artistic surtjcry y nud he asserts, with the cofidence j
thus inspired, that it will permanently relieve all i
cases of reducible Hernia, withont regard to the
age of the patient or the duration of the injury,
while it is wholly free from all the cruelty that has
characterized the treatment of the malady with tor
tuous Trusses from the earliest age to the present
day. He therefore invites the earnest attention j
of the afflicted and the closest scrutiny of the
profession.
Refers to some of the oldest physicians, as well
os citizens of Georgia.
Dr. R.’s Patent Pile Supporter—a sure relief at |
once.
Examinations made and advice given free of I
charge. Dr. R. can be consulted daily at his office,
at Mfs. Elkins’, Np. 163 York street, corner Bar-
