after supper to visit a neighbor, and after

in a room where there had been no fire

the work of an incendiary. The build

[From the New York Tribune.]
So with Lieutenant General Sheridan.
The country could not pay him lor doing
his duty in the war with anything less
than the second place in the army, with
a competency assured him for life; and a
great many persons who are satisfied that
if it had not been for him we should have
had no country, have been burdened with
a sense of obligation to him ever since.
They do not hesitate to say that if he
wants three or four States turned over to
him and the citizens declared “ ban
ditti,” so that be can have a little lark,
and a military commission, and hangings
and shootings, and such, why, it is
not at all unreasonable. He saved
the country; let him have them. As a
matter of right, of course this cannot be
objected to. He saved the country and
it’s not improper that he should do as he
pleases with it. Still, there’s a vulgar
prejudice in the minds of many, other
wise intelligent persons, agaiust turning
over so many people to a military Gov
ernor with unlimited powers. And some
even of the citizens of the States referred
to are so insensible to the obligations of
common gratitude as to object to being
turned over in this way. This, notwith
standing the admitted fact that Sheridan
would not think of hanging anybody
whom he did not dislike.
Now. not because we dispute the debt
—perish the thought—but for the reason
that all parties would be better satisfied
to have a definite sum agreed upon as
salvage and paid, and partly perhaps to
humor the unaccountable repugnance
which the people of the South have to
being shot to death with musketry, we
submit that a compromise beattemptedat
least. We are satisfied that Sheridan only
wants what is right and what is his due.
It is blood of course: must be blood; but
bow would it do to turn him over a tribe
or two of Iudians for the present, and
then see if we can’t settle the rest in
money ? It will be unpleasant for the
Indians of course; but then that does not
matter much. It is an even thing be
tween trading with Orville Grant, being
delivered to a railroad company, or being
turned over to Sheridan. We suggest it
as a temporary compromise.
Washington, January 24, 1875.
The Senate Committee on Claims took
a vote about ten days since on the pro
priety of extending the time for the filing
of claims before
THE SOUTHERN CLAIMS COMMISSION,’
and the proposition was rejected by a
majority vote of the members then pres
ent. Afterwards, in a full committee,
it was decided to recommend the exten
sion of the time to January 1, 1876. A
very large number of memorials and pe
titions from,. citizens of the Southern
States have been presented, asking for
this extension. It is not absolutely cer
tain, however, that this recommendation
will pass the Senate, for there is a bitter
opposition in that body to any further
compensation of Southern claimants. Mr.
Scott, the chairman of the Committee on
Claims, and Mr. Wright, both intense
Radicals, will lead the opposition to the
extension.
ALL SERENE.
The President has preserved to the
utmost his remarkable serenity during
all the popular outcry against his usurpa
tions in Louisiana. He says to his friends
that he is entirely satisfied that the peo
ple approve of his course, and that all the
There were probably some twenty or
twenty-five persons at the table eating
his viands and drinking his wines with
great gusto. After supper the dealer
took his place at the faro table. Presently
a stool pigeon came in, sat dowD. and
commenced to play. The twenty or
twenty-five persons who had just supped
so handsomely without expense to them
selves looked on. Finally one of them
got his nerve up enough to lay a two dol
lar bill on the Jack. The Jack lost.
Then in ones or in pairs all of these
gentlemen slipped out. and then the
dealer and the stool pigeon having it all
to themselves, looked blankly at each
other. I felt so much for Chamberlain
that I was on the point of being reckless
and investing a dollar or two myself, but
the dealer concluded to close the game.
Chamberlain hopes to do better next win
ter. He has made one or two strikes
since he opened, and this, perhaps, en
courages him. A Russian gentleman,
fond of roulette, left eleven thousand dol
lars with him as a permanent deposit one
night last week, but streaks of luck like
this are very scarce.

A RACE COURSE.
Chamberlain is talking of getting up a
great race course here, and if he attempts
to carry it out, it will certainly “ bust
him up.” He will get no help whatever
from the people of Washington. They
are very willing for other people to come
here and spend money for their benefit,
but they hold on like grim death to all
their own. No citizen of Washington
ever invested a dollar in the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, and yet every man,
woman and child of the resident popula
tion has made it a religious duty to de
nounce that corporation because it would
not cut against Baltimore for their bene
fit. And this is the way they will treat
Chamberlain. They will not give him
clamor which has been raised, is instiga- • cent to help establish a race course, and
ted by the newspapers and the Demo
cratic politicians. He says that he has
received any number of letters recently
threatening him with assassination, but
like Sheridan, he is “not afraid,” and
after reading such missives he tosses
them into the waste basket.
then they will abuse him without stint
if he does not humor every foolish whim
of theirs.
OLD ZACH CHANDLER.
Great satisfaction is expressed here
over the defeat of “blood letting” Zach
Chandler. Chandler probably spent $50,-
000 to secure his re-election to the Sen
ate. aud then to be defeated by only one
vote makes it doubly hard on him.
Among those who are rejoicing at Chand
ler’s defeat, but not openly, are his own
Republican colleagues in the Senate and
House. Chandler has monopolized for
years past the control of the entire Fed
eral patronage in the State of Michigan.
Mr. Ferry, the other Republican Sena
tor, could not have the appointment of a
petty postmaster without Chandler’s con
sent. and the House members were en
tirely out in the cold. They have grum
bled very much over this, but without
avail, and now they have no sorrow to
express over the discomfiture of the man
who has played their master. Chandler
has a magnificent residence here, which
he is now likely to give up, as he is of
no further account in a political point of
view. Eugene Hale, Representative from
Maine, has been hanging up his hat at
Chandler’s. The prospect that he will
have to seek other quarters has so soured
him that he now' refuses to speak to sev
eral gentlemen who opposed his daddy-
in-law.

Anotheb Clergyman in Trouble.—A
series of speculations with other people's
money by Rev. Patrick Guilfoyle, for
several years past priest of the church of
the Immaculate Conception at Newport,
Ky., has just resulted disastrously, and
he has disappeared. For a long time the
members of his church were in the habit
of placing sums of money in his hands
for safe keeping, receiving what they
considered good security. With this
money he put up over three hundred
dwelling houses, which he rented or sold
to poor people on easy terms, and he
soon amassed a property of $400,000, but
his creditors, having become suspicious
of him, have called upon him for their
money, and he has been forced to make
an assignment in their favor. Various
actions has been begun against him.
among them suits for the foreclosure of
one hundred and twenty mortgages, and
from being considered a great benefactor
to the poor, he has fallen into disgrace,
and is a wanderer. —Springfield (Jfats.)

States marshals may enforce payment of

HOW APPROPRIATIONS ARE HANDLED.
Senator Davis introduced a resolution,
a day or two ago, calling on the Secretary
of War for a detailed statement of the
expenditures of the appropriations made
for the improvement of the mouth of
the Mississippi and the fortifications near
New Orleans from 1870 to the present
time. Mr. Davis was induced to offer
this resolution from the fact that there
is strong ground for suspicion that much
of this money has been corruptly used.
It is rumored that Casey and Packard
have both helped to handle it, and that
no small portion of it has been employed
in still ^further debasing the politics of
Louisiana. It will be remembered that
Casey once kept a United States revenue
cutter cruising up aud down the Missis
sippi for days with a number of members
of the Louisiana Legislature aboard,
aud by this means he broke up a
quorum in the Legislature. It is
now said that the expenses of that
trip were something over $5,000 which
which were taken from the fund for the
improvement of the river.
shepherd’s board of health.
When Congress last summer abol
ished the territorial government of
the District of Columbia, it left un
touched the Board of Health. Why the
other “ring’’ bureaus of the District were
dispensed with aud this Board of Health
retained no one has bean able to find out.
It is on utterly useless appendage and a
very expensive one. It is composed of
five members at a salary of $2,000 per
annum each, when one thoroughly com
petent man at a salary of $2,000 would
be perfectly able to perform all that these
five pretend to do. In the new project
for a form of government tor the District
these individuals and their bureau are not
included. They have taken the alarm at this
and are spending a considerable portion
of the gratuity drawn by them from the
public treasury in advertising their claims
lo retention. A few days ago one of the
ring papers contained portraits of all
these parti* s with fulsome biographies,
for which they “came down” to the tune
of $1,000 or $2,000 apiece.
THE RED FLAO.
A few days ago the red flag was hoisted
over the mansion of H. D. Cooke, in
Georgetown, and the cry of the auctioneer
announced that the furniture and paint
ings were to be knocked down to the
highest bidder. One by one the velvet
caipets, the mirrors, the walnut and
rosewood suites of furniture, the magni
ficent bronzes, the statuary, the superb
paintings, passed into other hands. The
sale was considered a good one consider
ing the hard times, but many valuable
articles went off for a mere song. Many
of those present at the sale were persors
who had in times past been the recipients
of the lavish hospitality dispensed by
Henry D. Cooke in the days of his pros
perity. For years there were no finer en
tertainments given in the country than
those spread at the board of Henry
D. Cooke. I have several times par
ticipated in these entertainments, and
remember one occasion when the dinner
consisted of twenty courses, and the
menu, printed on the finest satin, was
laid on the plate of each guest. Then
Henry D. Cooke counted his income by
the hundred thousand; now, I guess, it
is rather rare for him to eat a first-class
dinner. He always was very popular in
Washington society, and very few but
uow regret his fall. The only stain on
him in connection with the downfall of
his house was his allowing the trust funds
confided to him to be absorbed in the
general wreck. This seems to me un
pardonable, but as for the few hundred
dollars of my own hard earnings which
they had, I am perfectly willing to call it
square.
CHAMBERLAIN AND HIS PHAROAH.
John Chamberlain's new faro bank
enterprise does not seem to promise well.
Chamberlain, when he bought the Knapp
mansion on I street, was so anxious to
obtain possession that he almost put out
bodily the British minister, who had been
the tenant for a long time. The house
and furniture stood him in for $90,000,
and his additional expenditures have
probably increased his investment to
$100,000. He has now been open perhaps
a month, and his receipts are not promis
ing. The old times of Washington, when
hundreds of thousands were lost and won
on faro in a night, have gone never more
to return. Now people either have no
money, or if they have, are inclined to
keep it. Chamberlain is very polite and
profuse in his invitations to people to
visit his establishment. Consequently
there is no trouble about his always hav
ing a crowd, for if there is a place under
heaven more overrun with bummers
and seekers for free feeds than Washing
ton I would like to hear of it. But, as
Chamberlain will soon find, there is no
money in them. I strolled into his bouse
about supper time the other night.
SLIPPERY DICK.
Mr. Richard H. Whiteley has been
making the most strenuous efforts to
effect the removal of Postmaster Arnold,
of Albany, because of his failure to sup
port the aforesaid Richard in his Con
gressional aspirations last fall. Whiteley
has worried the Postmaster General a
good deal on this subject, and has also
obtruded himself on the President in the
same connection. Postmaster General
Jewell states that no complaints have
been made as to the discharge of his
duties by Mr. Arnold, and he does not
seem at all disposed to yield to Mr. White-
ley’s importunities.
BLUFF BEN WADE.
Considerable disgust is expressed at
the daily spectacle of old Ben Wade open
ly lobbying on the floor of the Senate for
the Northern Pacific Railroad. He never
had much character of his own to lose,
but it is thought rather disgraceful that
a man who once occupied the chair of
the Vice-President should be engaged in
dodging around the lobbies, waylaying
Senators and following them in on
the floor, urging them to vote for
a railroad subsidy. Wade was em
ployed several years ago for this road at
a salary of $10,000 per annum. While
the Cookes were flourishing he got his
money, but since their failure payments
have been slow, and if old Ben fails to
get through the subsidy he will have a
poor show for his salary. It is this no
doubt which makes him so lost to all
sense of decency or shame.
F. A. R.
THE GUE.VT MEN OF THE .SOUTH.
Father KynnN l>i»courwen of \\ nNliiiitfton,
JrO'rrson, Lee, the Sword, the Fen, llu*
Buyouet, and the Banditti.
[From the New Orleans Times.]
An unusually large and appreciative au
dience assembled at the new St. Patrick’s
Hall last night to hear Father Ryan in
his lecture upon the great men of the
South—the number being estimated at
over three thousand, the majority, of
course, being of the sterner sex. but with
a very large representation of ladies.
Seated upon the stage and in the audi
ence awaiting the arrival of the lecturer
were quite a number of prominent gen
tlemen, some of whom, no doubt, antici
pated from the Fubject a scathing rebuke
to some of the great men of the North
for the course recently pursued by those
great (?) men, and attended to hear what
the eminent lecturer had to say about
them.
Father Ryan, stepping forward, began
his lecture by referring to Gen. Sheridan
aud the breaking up of the Legislature
and wondering whether the meeting now
assembled would be broken up. Some
people, said the lecturer, call others
aame8 when properl}’ they belong to
themselves. [Applause.] He was here
in the midst of “banditti;” the ladies
stole the men’s hearts, and the men the
purses. It had been announced that he
would give a lecture on the great men of
the South. Greatness has its elements
known to all, and especially to the South,
as the Southern people had placed in the
front rank of history names that could
never be match# I. [Applause. ]
Then, going back io tne days of the
revolution, he quoted Patrick Henry,
and said that, although reckless, he was
the voice of the people as well as of the
revolution, and in mentioning the revo
lution he said that all was right then, but
now it was all wrong; that then the peo
ple were right, but now they are banditti.
Then the government was wroug: now it
was the “best government Vi) in tht
world.” Virginia sent Patrick Henry
forth as she d d George Washington; and
referring to the latter he said Washington
never told a lie. but that it was a ques
tion of some doubt whether some of his
political successors could say as much.
There was great danger m putting a
soldier in the President's chair. Such
men think more of force than of fact-
more of the sword than of the pen.
Then, again, referring to Henry, he
quoted his words, “ Give me liberty or
give me death,” and remarked that the
government was a farce on liberty: that
in the days of Madison aDd Monroe there
was no breaking up of Legislatures by
the bayonet Then the heart was held
higher than the brute force. Civil war
was supreme. Now it is the reverse.
Then the lecturer gave his idea of sove
reign rights, and declared them now sub
servient to those of a military officer.
Ind proceeding further he eulogized
General Robert E. Lee in most appro
priate and complimentary terms, which
frequently brought forth loud and pro
longed applause. And further on he
mentioned General Gordon as a great
man, and cited a circumstance related to
aim by the General, the substance of
which is that at about the time of the
surrender, when Generals Gordon and
Sheridan were riding along the lines, a
Confederate soldier raised his rifle to
shoot Sheridan, but that Gordon lowered
it with his sword.
Then returning to his subject, the
speaker referred to Sidney Johnston, Joe
Johnston, Pat Cleburne, General Adams,
General Granberry. and paid a beautiful
tribute to each, and, referring to Presi
dent Grant, said he was strong but not
immortal: General Sheridan less so. Gen
eral Emory still less, and General DeTro-
briand still, still less; and in noticing the
difference between people he gave some
of the customs of the different people.
Here, he said, if one calls another a liar a
duel is the result. fHe did not approve of
duelling; that his church was against it, but
if the church was for it he was, too.) In the
West if you call a man a liar he knocks
you down. In New York he will call you
another, but away down East, if the term
is applied, the retort will be. “I’ll bet
you five cents you can’t prove it” This
brought down the house, and it was some
moments before the lecturer was able to
proceed. This he finally did; though
again referring*) General Lee, who, he
said, were he here, would advise the peo
ple to be calm and patient; and again al
luding to some of the prominent men of
the South, he bade the audience good
night, and retired amid loud and pro
longed applause.
[From the New York Tribune ]
That eminent constitutional lawyer, the
Hon. Powell Clayton, has introduced into
the Senate a bill to facilitate the opera
tions of the carpet bag party in the
Southern States, and sweep away the
frivolous objections which are urged by
pedantic aud particular persons to the
manipulations of elections by the mili
tary' ami the determination of the dis
puted titles to office by a squad of sol
diers. He calls it a “Bill to Protect
States against “Invasion.” We do not
know why he should call it that—unless
for the same reason that made a fond
father give his daughter the name of Bet,
because it sounded nice and was easy to
spell. The title has no particular con
nection with the provisions of the bill. Mr.
Clayton, however, has perhaps heard that
the Federal Constitution somewhere de
clares that the United States shall pro
tect each State against invasion, and he
takes this accordingly as a text from
which, after the manner of some preach
ers. he proceeds to get away as fast and
as far as possible. He proposes that
“whomsoever” (we give his own exact
aud elegant language,) “shall invade any
State for the purpose of violating the
laws of said State or of the United
States, or for the purpose of interfering
in any manner with the execution of
said laws, or whomsoever shall
willfully and corruptly conspire, com
bine and confederate with any other
person for any of the purposes above in
dicated,” shall be liable to prosecution
for felony and a fine not exceeding
$10,000, besides imprisonment not ex
ceeding ten years. The United States
Courts are to have jurisdiction of such
offences, and the President may specially
empower officers to institute proceedings
under them. The Federal Commissioners
and deputies are to make arrests; “and all
persons or officials authorized by this bill
to execute warrants, Ac., as aforesaid, shall
have authority to call to their aid * * *
such portion of the laud and naval force of
the United States or of the militia as may be
necessary.” It will be seen, of course,
that by this pretty bill a New York street
thief who should cross over to Hoboken,
aud iuvade the State of New Jersey for
the purpose of violating the laws of that
commonwealth, which prohibit the rob
bing of hen roosts, could be arrested on
the warrant of Mr. John I. Davenport,
by a detachment of soldiers from Gover
nor’s Island, and sentenced by the United
States Circuit Court, composed of Justice
Hunt and Judge Woodruff, to pay a tine
of ten thousand dollars and suffer an im
prisonment of ten years.
But the real meaning of the bill lies in
a provision which has no reference to in
vasion. It will be seen that the tremen
dous penalties indicated are applicable to
any one who “combines” with another
person to violate any law of any State, or
to “interfere in any manner” with the
execution of any law whatever. The
Federal courts are given jurisdiction over
all conceivable offences, provided only
that two persons combine in the
transgression, and it is made their
duty to punish attempts to interfere
in any manuer with the execution of
Suite laws. Under this special thimble
lies Mr. Clayton s little joker. There
can be no resistance henceforth to the
void acts of Kellogg Legislatures, or th9
preposterous decrees of Durells and Poker
Jacks, no contests over titles to office,
no opposition to swindling Returning
Boards—but down shall come a horde of
deputy marshals, troops of cavalry and
infautry with fixed bayonets, and the
persons who have combined to violate a
law or interfere in auy manuer with its
execution, shall he marched off to jail.
With the penalty of ten years’ imprison
ment and $10,000 fine staring him in the
face, he will be a bold man who shall op
pose the most monstrous acts of the worst
of carpet-bag administration*.
We do not suppose Mr. Clayton’s
scheme of pacification will be heard of
again; but it is worth looking at as a
sample of the policy which the politi
cians of his school have long followed in
the South aud which now seems to be
officially adopted by the President and
the majority of the Republican members
of Congress. Fraud, violence, oppressive
and unconstitutional laws, marshals’ war
rants and the military posne—these are
the apparatus by which the Administra
tion is trying to hold the South for its
own purposes; and Claytou's plan of
legislation is a little more bold but not a
bit more wicked than some of the other
devices which have received the formal
sanction of the part}’.
Military Murder.
[From the New York Workl.]
The country is beginning to see that
the military contrivance which places the
army in the hands of Kellogg and Ames,
to “sustain ” them, is a plot which en•
ables these Governors to kill their politi
cal opponents without danger of punish
ment. Grant, as the Times asMires its
readers, gives a general order to the sol
diery to “sustain” Kellogg. The latter
orders the army to make arrests; the per
sons pointed out for imprisonment resist
an illegal deprivation of their liberty, as
they have a right to do: the soldiers run
them through with bayonets or bullets;
death ensues: the soldier is indicted and
placed on trial for the homicide, and he
pleads the order of De Trobriand. What
should be the judgment of the court ?
Let us narrow the case, and assume
that the five members of the Legislature,
sought to be arrested two weeks ago last
Monday in New Orleans, have resisted
with pistols, and been killed. Would De
Trobriand’s order have beeu a safe de
fence for the soldiers who killed ? That,
it will be said, depends on the validity of
the orders to De Trobriand, aud his exe
cution of them. They w’ere by aud from
Kellogg, aud to arrest aud take the five
identified meml»ers out of the hall; and
De Trobriand w’as, by the President, told
in general “to sustain Kellogg.” This is
the sequence : Grant orders De Trobri-
nnd to sustain Kellogg; the latter orders
DeTrobriand to arrest the five members,
and he transmits the order to the soldiers
—who kill. Was the homicide justifia
ble ? And if so, by what or w hose legal
order? If not justifiable, who shall be
punished for the murder of innocent men
defending their own liberties?
This is not a wild or impossible case,
ft may be a sad reality any hour. And
does not the military ooutrivance. on Re
publican theories, protect Kellogg ? Can
he not by it murder with impunity all
whose resistance to his political schemes
make their death important ? Does not
the country catch a glimpse of what the
military plot means, and why the law
forbids the army to be used in time of
peace except to aid the judicial power in
enforcing its process of arrest and not an
Executive order?

Explosive Oils.—The telegram of a
few days ago stating that 100 barrels of
kerosene had beeu seized in Ottawa.
Canada, because it would explode at S6
degrees Fahrenheit, shows to how large
*n extent this low standard, death-deal
ing fluid is ^old. The fact is no doubt
true of Washington, as the Brooklyn
Eagle says it is of that city, that in spite
of the legal precaution taken to prevent
ind punish the sale of explosive oils,
there is still a great deal of kerosene sold
in that city and elsewhere which is below
the explosive test. In a general sense,
ill petroleum oils which will Dura freely
in a lamp are explosive, if heated to their
.‘xplosive point; but an oil which will
>tand the government test of 110 degrees
is safe enough in sensible hands, because
it cannot reach that temperature either
>y the heat of the atmosphere or the
rlame at the wick; and if the people will
put the can on the stove when there is a
hot fire in the latter, the dealer who sold
the oil will certainly be exonerated at the
inquest.

A Red-Hot Gospeler.
At the regular weekly meeting of the
Methodist preachers of Boston and vi
cinity, held at Wesleyan Hall, Tuesday
iftemoon, the recent difficulties in Lou
isiana were discussed at considerable
length. Bishop Bowman gave an account
of what he knew about the treatment of
colored people in Louisiana, narrating a
number of instances in which they had
been shamefully abused and deprived of
life even. By invitation, Rev. B. I. Ives,
of New York, addressed the meeting.
He said we are undertaking now to
coax the devil out of the miserable
whelps down South, when nothing but
strychnine and cannon ought to be used.
He rather agreed with Phil Sheridan's
declaration during the war, “that if he
Had owned hell and Texas he would lease
out Texas aud iive in the other place.
Dr. Ives administered a castigation to the
church, declaring that there is not a paper
m the Methodist Church that dares dis
cuss the civil rights bill, and asks that it
be enforced. He said he believed the
meanest rascals in the South are in the
Methodist Church South. He declared
himself a Radical of the strongest kind,
and he said he believed the more he hated
che rebels of the South the more he loved
God.
He declared he believed that the spirit
now rampant in the South has got to be
rushed out by another war, and he
ionged for the appearance of some col
ored man able to become a leader among
ois people, wielding the sword and torch.
He said the Bishops ought to come out
publicly and declare the whole truth
ibout the treatment of the colored peo-
ole in the South, but he didn't believe
:hey would. If they did he knew they
wouldn’t return to the South, for if they
lid they would be hung: but he intimated
hat it was no worse to hang a Bishop
han a minister, but he suggested if it
was done it might wake up the people
quicker than anything else.
He thought the Bishops were too ten-
ler-hearted. and they reminded him of
:he man who wanted to cut off his dog's
tail, but was too tender-hearted to cut it
iff where it ought to be, so he cut it off
in inch at a time. The speech of Mr.
[ves was received with frequent demon-
trations of approval: some of his most
•adical utterances exciting considerable
ipplause, mingled with laughter.
That Beecher is still ionging for the so
ciety and consolation of Tilton’s wife is
*vident from the following little scene
reported by a newspaper correspondent:
“Mrs. Beecher stepped over, as usual, to
little Mrs. Tilton, shook hands with her
ind Mrs. Field, and inquired how she
felt. Mr. Beecher, with slow aud stately
pace, as if he did not care who saw or
leard him, came on next, and shook
muds with the ladies, bowing courteously
co each. H hope,’ said he, gaily, to Mrs.
