MONDAY. FEBRUARY 18, 1874.
The Municipal Trouble in Mobile.
It seems that the Mobile Radicals are
endeavoring to get np another Durell
usurpation in that city, relying no donbt
on the intervention of United States bay
onets in case of resistance on the part of
the people. There was some donbt about
the result of the last election, and the
question was taken for some unaccounta
ble reason, to a court in Montgomery for
decision. There, contrary to the popu
lar expectation, Mr. C. F. Moulton, the
Republican candidate for Mayor, was de
clared entitled to the office. The Demo
crats declared that the court had no juris
diction in the case, and hence that its de
cision was of no authority or value, and
an immense meeting of citizens was held
to protest against the Republican candi
dates assuming office. Resolutions were
adopted pledging all persons present to
refuse to pay any tax or license to the
so-called “usurping authorities,” and also
to refuse to accept any city scrip which
the oity authorities might issue to carry
on the government of the city. There
were no disorderly or violent demonstra
tions. The only feeling was one of quiet
resistance until a court of recognized
jurisdiction in the matter can render a
decision which shall command respect.
Thu Distbiot Investigation.—Concur
rent action having been agreed on be
tween both houses of Congress in regard
to investigating certain matters specified
in the petition of W. W. Corcoran and
others, the joint committee have the way
clear to commence their labors. Among
other things they are authorized to inves
tigate whether unlawful contracts have
been made for public improvements in
the District of Columbia; whether unlawful
bids have beem made for public improve
ments; the abount agreed to be paid there
fore; whether correct measurements have
been made; the existing indebtedness on
account thereof; and what portion of said
indebtedness was created on account of
government property, and inquire what
- amendments of the original act are neces
sary to further protect the rights of citi
zens or regulate the disbursements or
collections of moneys, and whether the
salaries of the metropolitan police, au
thorized to be raised by appropriation
from Congress .and by special tax, has
been levied and paid; and whether the
Attorney General or any other officer has
paid the full salaries of said police.
Brooklyn (N. Y.) Tax Robbebt.—
Later developments of the extraordinary
frauds in the Brooklyn tax office reveal
the fact that the stealings will amount to
one million of dollars. It appears the
tax-payers were credited only with the
payment of the original tax in cases
where default and interest were also paid,
and for which they received receipts.
But in the tax office the accounts were so
manipulated that default and interest
went into somebody’s pocket, while the
tax only found its way to the city treas
ury. The amount of stealing by this
method can only be ascertained by ob
taining the tax-payers whose default
seems to have been remitted and their re
ceipted tax bills. This has been done to
some extent, and in every case the receipt
shows the payment of the tax in default
and interest, while the cash book con
tains entry of the tax only.
Utah.—The late message of Governor
Wood, of Utah, shows it to be in a dire
state of confusion. Governor Wood
asserts that he is utterly unable to enforce
the laws of Congress. No jury drawn for
three years past has been legal; the State
Courts have usurped functions not their
own; the Legislature has claimed and
exercised the powers belonging only to
the Governor. In 187C the right to vote
was conferred on women; but so bung-
lingly that under it aliens and minors
have the right to suffrage. Such are a
few of the salient features of the conflict.
Why don't our virtuous, paternal govern
ment put Utah through a course of recon
struction and carpet-bagism? Is there
nothing to steal in that home of the
Saints?
Will Congress Follow Georgia’s Ex
ample?—The New York Sun, alluding to
the bill introduced in the House of Rep
resentatives by Mr. Nutting, to reduce
the mileage of members to ten cents per
mile, commends it as a “sensible and just
act that should pass.” The editor says:
“None of the Georgia railroads charge
over ten cents a mile, and but few of
them reach that figure. Will Congress
follow the example of this Southern Legis
lature, and give up its dishonest mileage?”
A churchman, writing from Virginia to
the New York Tribune, says the Cum-
min<; movement quite & hold
in that State. He mentions the adhesion
of Rev. Dr. Latane as very significant,
and concludes his letter by saying that
“if Bishop Johns and Bishop Whittle>
who are known to hold Dr. Latane’s views
though in a considerably modified form,
were to link themselves with the new
movement, it would sweep the Southern
States like a whirlwind.”
The Temperance Cbdsadein the West.
The temperance crusade in Ohio is gain
ing in intensity and force. The women
who have been sweeping the whisky shops
of the smaller towns with their besom of
destruction are turning their attention to
the more populous centers. The cities,
it is thought, will try the faith and nerve
of these ardent apostles of the new dis
pensation. But their success so far him
been unexampled.
The Washington Star says it is under
stood that a compromise has been effected
between Gov. McCook, recently nomi
nated to be Governor of Colorado, and
those who have been opposing his con
firmation. The basis of the agreement is
that McCook shall be confirmed by the
Senate, and immediately thereafter resign.
This course is insisted on by Gen. Mc
Cook to vindicate in a measure the
charges which have been made against
him.
The National Grange.
The National Convention of the Pa
trons of Husbandly closed its session in
St. Louis on Friday last, when it ad
journed to meet in'Charleston, S. C.,
the first Wednesday in February next.
Previous to adjournment it issued
address, setting forth the general objects
and purposes of the order, for which we
will make room in our next issne. If
anything necessary to insure the confi
dence of the friends of reform and good
government in the farmer’s movement
has been lacking^ it has been supplied by
this able, honest, straightforward address,
which is received with expressions of
cordial approbation by the conservative
press of all sections of the country.
Commenting on it, the Baltimore Gazette
says:
“It is a remarkably strong document
It is quite singular in a fashion in which
it should not be singular—it contains very
little chaff and a great deal of wheat It
is noticeable for its common sense. * The
tone is familiar, while dignified, and it is
that of a body conscious of its strength.
It ignores politics, but politicians
had better keep out of its way.
It is going to be a power. It is going to
hold the balance in the next Presidential
election. It has already partially revolu
tionized the West, both industrially and
politically. What we are rejoiced to see
is that the address is without sectional
jealousy, or one word that can wound.
Its advice to the South was drawn up by
Southern men, and heartily endorsed by
every member of the order. It sets forth
as the true policy of the South just what
every friend of that section has been
urging upon it for years, and yet the
South itself has been too dull to receive
it. Raise home crops, not exclusively
cotton, but com, wheat, potatoes; feed
hogs and oattle of all kinds; raise poultry
where the negroes will allow it, and be
free from dependence on others.”
On the last day of its session the Con
vention settled in a very decided manner
a question which had agitated its lodges
for several months past. It seems that
number of Boston sharpers and speculators
who desired to reap the advantages which
might result to them from an identifica
tion with the Patrons of Husbandry, had
succeeded in obtaining from the Massa
chusetts State Grange a dispensation for
the promotion of a local Grange. The
question arose whether this Boston
Grange, composed of tradesmen, in no
respect identified with the interests of
husbandry, could be recognized by the
National Grange. The subject was sub
mitted to a special committee, whose re
port was to the following effect: “That
the Secretary of the National Grange be
instructed to notify all State Granges
within their jurisdiction that the Boston
Grange is no longer connected with the
Patrons of Husbandry, and henceforth
no fraternal recognition can be extended
to it by any Grange, Stale or subordinate,
and the Master of the Massachusetts State
Grange is hereby required to make a for
mal demand for the surrender of the dis
pensation and ritual of the Boston Grange,
and when received return to the State
Grange the money paid for said dispen
sation and ritual, and return them with
out delay to the office of the Secretary
of the National Grange at Washington.
The report was adopted.
In their report the committee charge
that the Boston Grange has been guilty
of insubordination and dereliction, and
that “it is hot composed of the material
declared by our order to be eligible to
membership.” This decision gives the
cold shoulder to spurious granges, and
will effectually thwart the schemes of
political rings in the political centres of
the country for the control of the order.
Every Word Truth.—The Des Moines
(Iowa) Register says: “There is too much
scrambling for office—for the emoluments
of office, which are three times what a
man can moke by staying on his farm.
We ask every reader of this article to look
around his own county, and examine the
history of the office-holders for the past
twenty years. From nothing they have
become the wealthiest in the country.
There are exceptions, but it has generally
happened in such exceptions from im
providence or extravagance. There is too
much difference between the laborer and
office-holder. All see it, and all feel it.
Taxes are burdensome, oppressive, and
intolerable, and the judgmentday is com
ing to those who are now imposing them.
Marshal Packard Managing the Kel
logg Forces in Washington.—A Wash-
inton letter says: Marshal Packard, of
New Orleans, arrived in Washington on
Wednesday, and took the field in person,
relieving Collector Casey, who has re
turned to his post of duty in that city.
For the convenience of the Federal officers
in Louisiana, it is understood, a bill will
shortly be introduced in the House, chang
ing their offices to Washington. Marshal
Packard says he is disgusted with the
Louisiana muddle and wants to resign,
but dislikes to retire in the midst of bat
tle. Having led the Federal forces into
ambush he is now seeking a safe road of
retreat. His friends commend him to
General Butler for advice.
The Supreme Court of Massachusetts
has decided that a sale of cotton for
cash, where the buyer is allowed ten
<£ays to turn out and inspect the goods, is
a sale on credit and not on condition, the
property passing to the buyer so that he
can make title for it, though still indebted.
The Ice Crop.—Several New York ice
companies, despairing of getting a
sufficient supply on the Hudson, have
made contracts in Maine for large quan
tities of ice at the rate of $2 50 per ton
on board vessels.
Mr. Bancroft is at work on the tenth
volume of his “History of the United
States,” which will be glad news for
those who began the perusal of that
interesting serial forty years ago.
Secretary Fish emphatically denies
■ that there has heen any “unpleasantness”
between the Government of the United
.States and that of Germany, as stated in
4he Paris Tatrie,
Granger's Results—Eight thousand
Granges of the Patrons of Husbandry
were organized last year, according to the
Secretary of the National Grange. The
Treasurer reported $50,000 to be on hand.
In the report of the Executive Commit
tee co-operation is warmly commended,
and the members of the order are de
clared to have saved $8,000,000 last year
by cooperative stores, agencies and grain
elevators. Anything like waging war on
the railroads of the country is discoun
tenanced in these reports, as their inter
ests are one with those of the farmers.
Going to Pieces.—The Boston Post
says: “The family government of the
White House in fast breaking np by the
disaffection of its members, each of
whom is a depository of shameful secrets
hitherto withheld, but now in danger of
exposure. * * The sins of Grant’s
Administration are returning together
upon him, claiming either recognition or
vengeance, and even the judicious dis
tribution of offices seems to have lost its
early power of placating and silencing
these children of a corrupt policy.”
Erect of Salting Railroad Traces.
—In New York railroad companies are
prohibited by law from salting their
tracks. It has been found necessary to
close the public schools, so as to prevent
the children from being obliged to walk
across the salted tracks, and thus sow the
seeds of diptheria, from which in I860
the mortality was great. The ordinance
imposes a fine of not less than $500, nor
more than $1,000, upon any one salting
any part of the streets or sveAues,

Trot, N. Y., February 15.'—The ice
in front of this ci(Jr broke up suddeiily
yesterday morning. Seven men who
were at work on one of the piers of the
bridge, took refuge on barges moored to
the pier. The ice, piled against the bar
ges, cut the hawsers which held them to
the pier, and they were forced by the ice
and current down the river to a point
near Albany, but succeeded in reaching
the shore. After the ice broke up, the
water rose ten feet in as many minutes.
The water is now receding, and all dan
gers of a freshet is supposed to be over.

and Elections this morning decided in the
matter of the charges affecting the elec
tion of Senator Spencer, to proceed there
with upon the documentary evidence fur
nished, and, if held advisable during the
progress of the investigation, to sum
mon witnesses. The counsel for both
Spencer and Sykes were heard, the former
advocating the determination of the con
test on documentary evidence, and the
latter favoring an oral investigation-
The cheap transportation advocates
have had a field day in the House,
Mr. Bell, of Georgia, delivered an ex.
haustive argument in favor of water
transportation, and in advocacy of his
bill granting aid to the Atlantic and Great
Western Canal. He was followed by Mr.
Clements, of Illinois, who also urged the
necessity of water transportation to the
people of the West as a relief to their
present distressed condition, which grew
ont of the faot of their inability to reach
a market. Both these gentlemen argued
that the true policy of good government
was to afford the best means for the de
velopment of industrial- interests, and
that no pretence of a false national econ
omy should be permitted to stand in the
way of the just demands of a suffering
people.
Mr. Fort, of Illinois, argued in favor of
the increase of the national currency.

THE SEASON FOB RAISING Hire
Omaha, February 14.—Large amounts
of ammunition are being shipped from
Fort Leavenworth and Rock Island Arse
nals to various posts in this department.
All post commanders have been ordered
to keep their commands in readiness to
take the field against the Indians on a
moment’s notice. Two companies of cav
alry and one of infantry leave here in the
morning for Fort Russell by rail, and
thence to Fort Laramac.
The Indians ran the ranchmen in six
miles west of Big Spring today. Forty
cavalrymen under Captain Mills left im
mediately by rail, and will endeavor to
strike them. No other depredations were
reported to-day.
The officials are very reticent, desiring
to keep their movements as quiet as pos
sible, so that the half-breeds and rene-
i jades may not possess themselves of in
formation valuable to the Todiima, to
whom they would certainly carry it.

Notice to Ruptured Persons.
Dr. J. L. Rowe, of New York, desires to call the
attention of the Ruptured persoi^of Savannah to
his successful treatment and cureoi Rapture.
Dr. Ri, in order to arrive at the absolute cer
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 in the coarse of Hernia, so that he is now
assured, by a large experience, that it is in ac
cordance with the principles of science, and with
the most universally acknowledged practice of
artistic surgery, and he asserts, with the cofidence
thus inspired, that it will permanently relieve all
cases of reducible Hernia, without 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
of the afflicted and the closest scrutiny of the
profession.
Refers to some of the oldest physicians, as well
as citizens of Georgia.
Dr. R.*s Patent Pile Supporter—a sure relief at
once.
Examinations made and advice given free of
charge. Dr. R. can be consulted daily at his office,

Burns in any lamp without danger of exploding
or taking fire. Manufactured »xpreaaly to displace
the use of volatile and dangerous oils. Its safety

qualities, are proved by its continued us- in over

The immense yearly loss to life and property,
resulting from the use of cheap and dangerous
oils in the United States, is appalling.
