TUESDAY. MARCH 24. 1874.
The Contested Seat for the First Con'
gressional District.
A Washington special to the Atlanta
Constitution informs ns that for two days
a large portion of the session of Congress
has been consumed in an investigation of
the contested election case of Sloan
against Bawls, and that no action has
yet been taken. On Saturday Congress,
man Blount, from Macon, made an able
speech in support of Mr. Bawls’ right
to the seat which he has occupied since
the commencement of the session. The
dispatch says notwithstanding it has been
clearly shown that Bawls was legally
elected, it is thought he will be unseated.
We think it highly probable that he will,
though we question if there is an honest,
unprejudiced man in this Congressional
District who entertains a doubt that he
was fairly and legally elected. Mr. Bawls’
misfortune is not that he did not
receive a majority of the legal votes
of his District, but that his poll
tics are of the wrong stripe. Though
he received the votes of a majority of his
constituents, including the mass of the
white citizens, and received his certificate
of election under the great seal of the
State of Georgia, he did not go to Wash
ington with the endorsement of the car
pet-bag and negro minority.
His competitor should be well paid for
championing the party he professes to
represent, and no doubt expects to be re
warded with the seat to which he was not
elected, or with some other government
favor. Such is the established precedent,
and we shall not be disappointed if his
hopes are realized.
The Woman's Cbcsade in Massachu
setts.—The women crusaders mode a
praying demonstration in Worcester,
Massachusetts, last week, but it appears
that they were not very successful. On
Wednesday fifty women appeared in the
streets, divided in three separate bands,
and each band pursued a different route.
The result of the day’s labor was one
white and one colored convert, but it is said
the white man only signed the pledge in
mockery. During the afternoon a com
pany of women, representing the beer
drinking interests of the city, organized
a burlesque crusade, and visited a number
of saloons, exhorting the keepers not to
yield to the entreaties of the praying
bands, and asking pledges from those
present that they would, continue the use
of beer.
Geant Favons Sweet Women.—A Wash
ington letter says: Mr. Blakeley, the ed
itor of the Chicago Pod, has been in that
city for several weeks trying to retain his
position as pension agent at Chicago, his
commission having expired. His efforts,
however, have been unsuccessful, and the
President to-day has nominated for the
position Miss Ada C. Sweet, who is a
clerk in the office. She is a daughter of
the late Deputy Commissioner Sweet.
President Grant has so far appointed
quite a number of ladies to responsible
positions under his administration.
Blakeley loses his office because he is a
poor editor and unable to make presents,
and besides his competitor is a Sweet
woman.
Signifcant Growth op Butlebism.—
A Washington letter to the Springfield
Bepublican says: “An old Connecticut
politician has been here for a few days,
and somebody asked him what struck
him most forcibly among the new things
in Washington, and his reply was ‘Butler-
ism !' ‘The town is Butlerized,’ he went
on; ‘I find plenty of Democrats who are
for Butler, and any number of Bepubli-
cans singing the praises of Simmons, who
were dead against Butler a year ago. I
tell you I believe that the corruptionists
of both parties will join hands in the next
Presidential campaign and try to elect
their candidate. ’ ’’
The restive Henry Ward Beecher says
a sensible thing now and then. Becently
he made this reply in the Christian
Union to a query as to whether it is
wicked to dance: “It is wicked when it
is wicked, and not wicked when it is not
wicked. In itself it has no more moral
character than walking, wrestling or
rowing. Bud company, untimely hours,
evil dances may moke the exercise evil;
good company, wholesome hours, and
home influences, may make it a very
great benefit.”
The San Francisco prejudice against
the Chinese often defeats the ends of jus
tice. It is always difficult for a China
man to secure the punishment of a white
man who beats him; and now a case of
flagrant wrong has called out an amount
of decent sentiment that may better mat
ters. Bobert Manning, a loafer, mur
dered Ah Wan in a cold-blooded and atro
cious way. The proof was dear; but the
jury, yielding to its prejudice, would only
convict of murder in a low degree. Judge
Dwindle sharply reproved them.
Imperialist Heads Off.—A Paris dis
patch of the 20th says: “The Duke of
Padua and other distinguished persons
who took part in the recent demonstra
tion at Chiselhurst, have been removed
from mayoralties and other offices held
by them under the government.” This
prompt and proper action on the part of
President McMahon may be regarded as
evidence of his faithful adherence to the
Bepublic.
The Hew Hampshire Legislature, just
elected, will not choose a United States
Senator, as no vacancy occurs until
1877, when Mr. Crogin’s term expires.
The coming dection in Connecticut is
given great importance by the election
of a Senator to succeed Senator Bucking
ham, whose term doses next March.
Health or Mit. Stephens.—A Wash
ington special to the Atlanta Constitution
says: “The multitudinous friends of Mr.
Stephens will be delighted to learn that he
is very much better. In fact, he is feeling
so well to-day that he confidently expects
to resume his seat in the House and. re
turn to his duties on Monday.”
Loose Laws pob Counterfeiters.—P.
Harris, indicted in Hew Orleans in 1871
for counterfeiting the gold coin of the
United States in 1870, has been convicted
and sentenced to the penitentiary for
three years and fined fifty dollars. Har
ris has been at liberty since March, 1871,
until his conviction last week.

The Indiana Democracy Stand Their
Ground.
The Hew York Post which; although a
Bepublican journal, has of late been
among the foremost in denouncing the
corruptions of' the Administration, is
much disgusted that the Democratic
State Central Committee of Indiana should
have determined to “revive the old or
ganization and keep up the old political
fight.” The Pod sneers at the Indiana
Democrats, who, it thinks, are encouraged
by the result of the election in Hew
Hampshire and the hope “that the mis
takes of the Administration will defeat
its supporters in Connecticut” It says:
The self-styled Democratic party has
no semblance even of Democratic princi
ple, and not even an honest policy to put
before the country. When the people
merely shift their rulers, without gaining
anything in the way of either policy or
principle, they surely commit a grave
error, because it is not in the nature of a
Bepublic to stand still—it must either go
forward or fall backward.
What is the text of the lesson? Is it
not that it is the first duty of the people
to suppress the so-called Democratic
party? The fitness of the Administration
party to rule without reform comes next
in order.
If we do not mistake the signs of the.
times, “the people” have already deter
mined to reverse the order of the Post’s
political lesson. The unfitness of the
“Administration party to rule” the
country has been determined, and the
next thing in order will be - to
drive it from power 'and restore Demo
cratic, constitutional government, as the
only means of perpetuating the republic.
The country has heard a great deal from
such free trade Bepublican purists as the
Post about the reformation of the Be
publican party, but experience shows
that that embodiment,of all heresies and
corruptions doesn't -reform worth o cent
It is day by day going from bad to worse
—from Grantism it has gone to Butler-
ism, and following the bent of its nature,
it is going “forward” with rapid speed,
and carrying the country with, it to the
d—1. Hothing but a miracle could raise
the Badical party out of the rut in which
it has fallen: It has but one principle
left and that is public plunder. In this
there can be no change, and whether
Grant or Butler is the nominee of the
banditti who fight under its black flag,
and who will control its next con
vention; in the election of either the
people are beginning to feel that they
would “surely commit a grave error.”
The Post is mistaken, if it supposes that,
in the revolution which Badicalism has
wrought, the people of the United States
have forgotten the great cardinal
principles of Demociacy. But leaving
their traditional principles out of view,
the simple issue of no principles against
“the principles and policy” of the Badi
cal party os illustrated by its record of
usurpation, corruption and proflagacy,
should insure its overwhelming defeat.
The best and only way to reform the
Badical party is to drive it from power.

Mbs. Fobbest’s Doweb.—-It will be re
membered that the late Mr. Forrest, the
tragedian, was separated from his wife,
an English lady, only a few years after
their marriage. The case occupied the
courts for several years, and gave rise to
much scandal at the time, the lady being
cruelly persecuted by certain friends of
Mr. Forrest, some of whom resorted to
disreputable means in their vain efforts
to destroy her character. After his long
estrangement, Mr. Forrest made no pro
vision for his wife in his will. It seems,
however, that she has taken steps to se
cure her right of dower, Ja bill having
been introduced in the Hew York Senate
providing that it shall be lawful for the
executors and trustees named in the will
of Edwin Forrest, deceased, to agree
with the widow of said Forrest upon a
sum in gross for her dower right in the
whole estate of said Forrest, deceased,
and such sum thall be a charge upon the
lands in the State of Hew York of which
ho died possessed, and said execu
tors may sell at public or private sale so
much of said lands as shall be requisite
to pay such sum.

the fleet will sail for Europe in April.
About the same time the Lancaster will
leave Key West for Bio do Janeiro, and
the Shenandoah and Wyoming sail for
Hew York. The ironclads, with officers
and men sufficient to keep them in good
order, will remain at different points in

the present, constitute the Horth Atlantic
fleet, Bear Admiral Scott commanding:
Worcester (flagship), Colorado, Canan
daigua, Kansas, Brooklyn, Wachusett,

The Fortune will resume the survey of

Can’t Face the Music.—The Adminis
tration papers are still discussing the

Butler’s organ in Boston having called

ing, the Administration organ in Hew

sponds: “Bat what would the Traveller
have had us do? Defend the Sanborn
contracts? Uphold defenders of the salary
grabs? Make light of the Credit Mobilier
revelations? Hoodwink our readers about
the Simmons matter? Continue silent
over the Jayne revelations? Exalt the
purity of the Administration? Bespatter
the President with praise for signing the
salary bill?”' It adds very emphatically
that if this had .been the platform of _ the
party then, it would have been bnried
under an opposition majority of ten
thonsand.
A temperance society in San Francisco
arrays itself against the habit of saying,
“ What’ll yon have?” “Come, let’s take

members do not approve of total absti

selves not to pay for any other man’s
drink, nor to drink at a bar with any
body. The society is serious in its inten
tions, believes that the conviviality of
bar-rooms is the copse of most intemper
ance, and has a membership of standing

The Famine.—In the Tirhoot district
in India, 100,000 natives, all of them
emaciated by famine, have applied to the
government for food. This is one of the
most destitute of the States, and, accord
ing to the statement of the corespondent
of the London Dailg Metes, one-half the
population will die if adequate belief is
not afforded. To give this the govern'
ment must send thither half the supplies
provided for the whole country.

THE SUPREME COURT.
Washington, March 23.—The case of
the late Judge Underwood against Mc
Veigh, from the Virginia Court of Ap
peals, having been snbmitted to' tins
Court on a motion to dismiss for want
of jurisdiction, the motion was to-day
granted.
The case dismissed, because the Court
of Error should have been directed to the
Court of Appeals, instead of the Judge
of the Corporation Conrt of Alexandria.
Mr. Justice Clifford dissented. The
Court below gave judgment in favor of
McVeigh, on a verdict which found that
there was fraud in the procurement of
the sale and confirmation under the pro
ceedings in confiscation.
The case of Espy, Heidlebaek & Co.
against the First National Bank of Cin
cinnati was to-day decided in the Supreme
Court. A check drawn by S. & M. on
the bank for §26 50 in favor of H. was
raised to §3,920, and the payer’s name
changed to E., H. & Co., and offered to
the hitter by a stranger in payment for
bonds and gold purchased by him. E.,
H. & Co. sent the check for information
to the bank, where the teller replied:
“It is good,” or “It is’all right.” Suit
being brought by the bank against E., H.
& Co., judgment was for plaintiff, and,
on error to this court, it is held:
First. That where money is paid on a
raised check by mistake, neither party
being in fault, the general rule is that it
may be recovered back as paid without
consideration.
Second. But that if either party has
been guilty of negligence or-carelessness
by which the other lias been injured, the
next party must bear the loss.
Third. That where a party to whom
such check is offered sends it to the bank
on which it is drawn, for information,
the law presumes that, the bank has
knowledge of the drawer’s signature and
of the state of his account, and it is re
sponsible for wliat may be replied on
these points.
Fourth. That unless there is something
in the terms on which information is
asked that points the attention of the
bank officer beyond these two matters,
his respouse that the check is good will
be limited to them, and will not extend
to the genuineness of the filling in of the
check as to payee or amount.
Fifth. As to whether the endorsement
of the words “good” or the officer’s ini
tials under such circumstances would
make the bonk liable beyond the genuine
ness of signature and possession of funds
to meet the check certified—querie.
Sixth. Where the check is certified for
the purpose kuown to the bank of giving
it credit for negotiations or circulation to
be used as mouey, and it is so passed into
the hands of third persons, the bank
would be bound, though the case might
be otherwise, when it was only certified
to give the party preseuting it assurance
that it was good for his own satisfaction
in taking.
Seventh. But it is clear that a verbal
reply that a check is good, given for the
information of the party nbout to receive
it, extends only to matters of which the
bank had knowledge, or is presumed to
have by the law, unless he is told that
more extended information is expected or
asked for as to the validity of the check.
Mr. Justice Miller delivered the opinion.
In the case of Burke against Greg et
al., from the Supreme Court of Louisiana,
in which the question was whether a sale of
real estate made in pursuance of an order
of the Provisional Court of Louisiana was
operative to pass a title after the surrender
of the rebel forces in that district, when
the terms of the order creating the court
limited its existence to the restoration of
civil authority in the State. The Court
answer in the affirmative, holding that,
notwithstanding the cessation of actual
hostilities, military rule prevailed in
the city of Hew Orleans and in the
State long after that event, and
after the sale in controversy. This fact
is conclusive proof that the civil authority
was not restored when sale was ordered,
and that the Provisional Court was in the
rightful exercise of its authority. Mr.
Justice Davis delivered the opinion.
CAPITAL AND CONGRESSIONAL NOTES.
Washington, March 23.—The Horth
Carolina colored people lfere say they
will have an interview with the President
on Friday to secure a change in the Wil
mington (H. C.) Collector of the Port.
Gen. Clarke, postmaster at Galveston,
has resigned. There will be a big strug
gle for the succession.
There ig a struggle over the Borne (Ga.)
Post Office.
The compromise bill in the Senate,
more fully explained elsewhere, reopens
the whole subject aud the vote settling
the financial question and giving a safe
basis upon which prudent merchants
could operate, seems indefinitely post
poned, so far as the Senate is concerned.
It is hoped the House bill, which passed
tiMlay, will be thrust down the Senate's
throat and choke off its blab.
In the Senate, the Hew York Cotton
Exchange memorialize against inflation
and for specie resumption.
Several letters urge Congress to say
whether it would inflate, contract or do
nothing, saying that the present uncer
tainty paralyzed the spring business.
The Committee of Finance reported a
new bill as a substitute for the one pend
ing for the redistribution of currency.
It provides for free banking, and limits
the legal tender circulation. It is a com
promise measure. Sherman, who report
ed the bill, said he gave adhesion to some
of its provisions with great reluctance.
He will explain its points and bearings
to-morrow,
Mr. Morton spoke two hoars in favor
of inflation, after which there was a short
running debate and the Senate adjourned
In the House, among.the bills intro
duced, was one by Mr. Yotmg approp
riating §10,000 for ^certain- Georgia
rivers; and one by Mr. Smith, of Vir
ginia, authorizing the Washington, Cin
cinnati and St. Louis Railroad to ex
tend through the District of Columbia.
The House passed, by more than a two-
thirds majority, a bill reported from the
Committee of Ways and Means fixing the
limit of legal tender notes at four hun
dred millions. Amendments by two
members of the committee to fix the
amount at three hundred and fifty-six
millions, the present legal limit, and at
three hundred and eighty-two millions,
the amount actually in circulation, were
defeated by majorities considerably over
two-thirds. The representatives from
the Hew England States and Hew York
voted for the most part against the bill;
those from Pennsylvania, the West and
the South generally for it.
The House also passed a bill for the re
moval of the Kickapoo and other Indian
tribes from the borders of Texas and Hew
Mexico to the Indian Territory.

Further Information Relative to
the Sanborn Contracts.—The name of
the gentleman who first tried to obtain a
contract under the law for the collection
»
of moneys due the government is Pen-
nery of Kansas. He had evidence that
the Pacific Bailroad had overcharged the
government for freight fully three mil
lions. He offered to collect at 50 per
cent, for the first §100,000, and 25 per
cent, for all over that sum. Secretary
Richardson on Thursday wrote in am
to a member of the Ways and Means
Committee that the man who had been
traveling about the country collecting
taxes, and signing himself Special State
Auditor of the Treasury, was not known
to the Treasury Department in any of
ficial capacity whatever, but as an em
ploye of Sanborn simply.
The further this Sanborn business is
probed the more rascality is brought to
light. The scheme seems to have been
devised by Beast Bntler and a few un
principled accomplices for purposes of
wholesale fraud. It is intimated that
prominent members of the Administra
tion are involved. Such developments of
deliberate rascality as are now being
made are disgraceful to the national char
acter.
The Public Debt of Philadelphia.
The Philadelphia Inquirer says:
“The public debt of Philadelphia is to
day not less than sixty millions of dollars,
or only a third less than was the entire
debt of the United States in March, 1861.
and more than double the total indebted
ness of Pennsylvania at the present time.”
The Inquirer then goes on to relate
that on Saturday there was a secret meet
ing of representatives of the city and
State governments, the result of which
has transpired, viz:
‘A proposition to increase the munici
pal debt to such an extent as to place the
property of every citizen in peril of bein, ;
nearly if not quite absorbed by taxation."

The Fight with the Railroad Bob
bers.—It is now stated that the detective
killed by the Younger brothers in St.
Clair county, Missouri, Tuesday belonged
to a party of four who went from St.
Louis privately, in hope of capturing the
Gad's Hill railroad robbers. No further
particulars of the affair have been re
ceived.
The body of J. W. Whicher, the de
tective, which was found on the road near
Independence, Mo., some days ago, ar
rived in St. Louis on Thursday night, in
charge of Mr. Angell, of Chicago, and
will be taken to that city. No further
information regarding the fight between
the detectives aud the Younger brothers
at Monangow last Monday have been re
ceived in St. Louis by any- one in au
thority, but the St Louis Globe received
a special on Thursday night from Ap
pleton City, which gives a different ver
sion of the affair. It states that the
party searching for the Younger brothers
was composed of Deputy Sheriff Daniels,
of Oceola, and two detectives, w ose
names are not given, who, while riding
along the road were overtaken by the
Youngers and ordered to surrender aud
lay down their arms. One of the de
tectives ran aud escaped: the others sur
rendered and gave up tlieir anus. James
Younger then shot and killed Daniels in
cold blood, and, while firing on the de
tective, the latter drew a derringer which
he had concealed and shot John Younger.
The detective now at Roscoe is lying in a
critical condition, with three balls in the
back and a load of buckshot in his left
shoulder.

Remarkable Restoration.—Miss Kate
Gang, a young woman twenty years of
age, was suddenly restored to full speech
yesterday after having been unable to
speak above a whisper for four years, on
account of some throat affection. She
had been to church in the morning, and
returning home found her speech re
stored, and electrified her father by clear |
and distinct utterances while congratula
ting him on his birthday. The fact of
the restoration was soon made known to
the neighbors, and quite a crowd called
to gossip over the occurrence, in regard
to which many exaggerated rumors were
put forth.—Baltimore Sun.

Mary Kelley’s Gold.—Chicago, March
Id —At Joilet, D1-, this morning, Morris
McCarthy and his son John were arrested,
charged with robbing Mrs. Mary Kelley
of §20,000 cash, §15,000 of the amount
being in gold. It appears that Mrs, Kel
ley recently fell heir to §25,000, and in.
stead of putting tbe money in bank, bid
it, as she claims, on McCarthy’s premises,
and he finding it, appropriated it.

The latest thing in dolls is a young lady
of tinted wax, who, when wound up and
given a high chair at the table, reaohes
out her arms, seizes a bit of bread and
Blowly puts it in her mouth. When she
has done this a certain number of times
it is necessary to open her back, remove
the food and wind her up again. Would
that human beings could be relieved of
indigestion in this manner. 1
A Distinguished CUrgymanaS New York, sneak
ing of this remedy characterizes it as “one of the
U blessings of the Nineteenth Century.”

to children or adnlts, adapt it for the widely popu

from lung complaint if they knew how easily
they can be cured by this remedy. Bv its timely
use all pulmonary diseases may be arV sted, and
consumption—the scourge thatsweeps a w*y thou
sands every year—would be checked hi its begin

their rest at night, mil dad by taking the Expec
