S iperintendent Thomas F. Green,
., rites the Atlanta Constitution that the
real capacity of the lunatic asylum does
not exceed 517 patients, if all injurious
and possibly dangerous crowding be
avoided. The institution is at present
greatly crowded, as it contains 594
patients; aud yet for months Dr. Green
has been obliged to notify ordinaries of
the inability of the asylum to hold another
patient except as a vacancy occurs. A
record is kept of all applications, and
notice is sent in turn as fast as vacancies
will permit. Some further relief for this
unfortunate class of people seems to be
demanded by the pressure of applica
tions from the counties of the State; and
the plan suggested by Dr. Green in his
annual report—tho removal of the idiot
eiiis.-:—should receive careful attention.
Il is an economical way of providing the
additional accommodations which are
sadly needed.
Col Jones of the Macon Telegraph,
recently availed himself of the opportu
nity of interviewing one of the most ex.
tensive and successful planters in the
State. It is gratifying to know that
scattered few” of this description are still
to bo found. Mr. is the fortunate
owner of seven plantations, covering an
area of 13,000 acres, lying in Southwest
era and Middle Georgia. His crop last
year panned out 950 kales of cotton and
8,1)00 bushels of corn. Four hundred and
fifty bales of the former are still in store
at Macon. Tbe present year he w'ill cul
tivate 1,700 acres in cotton, has 400 acres
laid down in wheat aud 350 in oats, and
expects to devote 1,300 acres to corn.
The' Darien Gazette is sorry to note
serious backwardness in the preparation
for planting, especially upon the part of
rice planers upon the Altamaha. Blessed
last year wOth a harvest season of rare oc
currence, the' v have had to suffer since
Christmas the uUastsr of a most inclem
ent January, with such conditions of
weather as to preclude all work of prepa
ration for the spring. This delay in the
preparation of the lands, which should
at this date be nearly complete, will
continue to work to the disad
vantage of the planting interest and
postpone the crop to much damage
incident from late planting and October
harvesting. The weather is still bad and
the ground will for some days yet con
tinue too wet for ploughing; indeed, hut
little stubble has as yet been burned and
much ditching remains to bo done.
These circumstances deny us any indul
gence in the hope that the present y ear's
crop will be any larger than that of last
3 oar, which was in itself shorter by many
tho 'isand bushels than that of the pre
ceding" )U'.r. This ought to enhance the
value ot the product of last year's crop

Dahlonega Signal: For the last three
days it has bee. n raining as if the foun
tains of the great “cep had been broken

its climax, and on Friday morning the
re v reached us of the devastation of the
flood. Crisson’s fine go ^ ml ^» mile

Company is partially dest.^J® 1 ^ and
the Chest&tee bridge, four n" Vl * e * * rom
this place, is under water, great
fears are entertained that it
not stand. The destruction of property is
gloat. The Crisson mill cost about $
<X)0, and though all the machinery can
be used again, it will cost a large sum P 1
money to rebuild. The loss of Captain
Crisson is great indeed, and coming when
he had just fairly opened out his mine,
and had just began to make it profitable,
makes it only the more distressing. The
injury to the Hand Gold Mining Com-
p'any is but slight, but will delay them in
sta ging their mill, which they were pre

Colu "tubus Times: Some of our promi

SAVANNAH, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1875.
ESTABLISHED 1850.
Florida Affairs.
We are surprised that Tom Long hasn’t
put in an appearance in Tallahassee.
Things are spoiling over there.
The Tallahassee Sentinel pretends to
think that Stearns wouldn't sell out his
party for a seat in the Senate. When was
Marcellus converted ?
The editor of the Monticello Constitu
tion doesn’t know whether there is any
truth in the rumor as to a combination to
elect Stearns to the Senate. We might
be able to give Col. Fildes a clew.
General Sanford retired from Tallahas
see in order to plant another eucalyptus
tree.
ltequa is probably of the opinion that
a Northern man can’t get along with
Southern Republicans, and the virtuous
Cheney is as lonesome as a rain crow.
Stearns is losing his grip. Why didn't
he order out the colored militia the other
day and run the Conservative members of
the Legislature out of town?
Some of the parties aspiring to the
Florida Senatorship have mellow names
to fire off through the trump of fame.
Just think of Hoeg, Bisbee and Requa.
The Monticello Constitution has entered
upon its second volume, and looks as
thrifty as a thoroughbred in -a barley-
patch.
What’s in the wind now ? J. S.
Adams, who was discovered in New
Jersey on a memorable occasion by one
of the numerous Stanleys connected
with the New York Sun. is publishing
Democratic articles in the New South.
The Jacksonville Union has been mate
rially enlarged and improved.
The Jacksonville Press, edited by our
old friend Dr. Babcock, seems to be meet
ing with success. It deserves it at any
rate.
J. Willis Menard, colored, still writes
poetry. The Sentinel is publishing it for
him this month.
Young Whitney, of St. Augustine, is
about to resume the publication of his
little paper, the Star. We hope the lad
will consider us a subscriber.
The late Col. Abijaw Gilbert doesn’t
seem to stand the ghost of a chance in
Tallahassee.
The noble Pur man has become an
humble member of the Florida Assembly.
The Florida Sentinel has intimated that
Purman wouldn’t do to trust except dur
ing leap year; but it is impossible to say
where that paper got its information.
There is one thing about Purman, though:
he has never sat down in tho sand and
allowed a Supreme Court Judge to bang
him around.
There is a great rush of visitors to St.
Augustine.
Twenty acres of land near Palatka sold
for twenty-five hundred dollars the other
day.
It is said that there is a sour orange
tree in Marion county from which ten
thousand oranges have been gathered in
one season.
The St. Augustine Yacht Club has or
ganized for the season.
Mr. L. W. Lanjilon, of Northampton,
Mass., died in Jacksonville recently while
searching for lodgings.
The whooping cranes in Jacksonville
are good for worms.
The negro policemen in Jacksonville
arrest a man merely for criticizing things.
The Templetons are playing in Key-
West.
Members of the church in Live Oak
take advantage of the serenity of the
Sabbath to wallop negroes with the soft
side of a board.
The citizens of Suwannee county will
meet on the Gtli for the purpose of exam-

county.
A row between three colored people in
Jefferson county recently resulted in a
coroner’s inquest.
Stearns has relented so far as to make
the Jacksonville Press an official paper.
Live Oak Times: M. S. Littlefield,
ccmmonly known as “Old Plausible,”
was, last Monday, gaily strutting about
the railroad platform during the stay of
the Tallahassee train. Had it not been
for the sudden death of Governor Todd
R. Caldwell this “spread eagle” manipu
lator of State bonds would, no doubt,
now be dressed in a suit of stripped
clothes, and busily engaged making shoes
for the benefit of the State of North
Carolina.
Baker county correspondence Jackson
ville New South: It has been a mooted
question for 1800 years amongst all re
ligionists, I believe, if there was a literal
hell and a personal devil. I saw, some
years ago, in a newspaper, that a priest
had located hell three miles under ground
in the bowels of the earth. Oh, how he
was mistaken! If he had said it was
near the city of Brotherly Love, he would
have come nearer to it. On Thursday-
night, the 14th instant, about 11 o’clock,
there came five devils, in the shape of
men, to a house occupied by a widow
lady and her children, about four miles
from Baldwin. She had a daughter
about fifteen years old. These devils
attempted to murder them by repeated
ly shooting into the house with a double-
barrel gun aud pistols. Two little boys
were sitting up in a shed room, the
mother and daughter had just retired to
bed. These devils first poured water
down the chimney, outed the fire, and
barred the door up where the boys were.
They then broke in the door of the
house, seized the young women and
mother, held them and choked them, and
three of these devils violated the persons
of the young woman and the mother in
the same little room, ten by twelve. Oh,
helpless women, was there ever such de
mons this side of the infernal regions of
the damned. They then robbed the hen
roost of the last chicken and left in the
direction of Baldwin. The old lady went
to a justice of the peace next day to get a
warrant for them, when the justice said to
her that it would take money to have the
matter investigated, and as she had none,
of course she came back as she wen 4 .
However, on Monday evening, jnst four
days after, he came and looked her up
aud said if she would make an affidavit,
he would issue a warrant. I think she
made tbe affidavit and identified three
white men and one negro. She gave the
names in the affidavit of Jordan Dees,
Isom Dees and Joseph Dees, white, and
Prince Thomas, negro. I have not learn
ed what has been dono in the matter.
The nam6 of the justice is James Wil
son, a justice of African descent. O,
this despotic power of appointing offi
cers! They should be elected by the
people and held responsible. Mr, Editor,
is it possible that Duval county, with her
heretofore good character, and that every
man that ever had a sainted mother, a
beloved wife, a doted sister, would not
rise in indignation and sweep such fiends
from the land.
Havana advices state that the exports

CONGRESSIONAL.
Washington, February 1.—In the Senate,
a very large number of petitions were pre
sented against tbe restoration of the duty
on ten, aud coffee* against the renewal of
any internal taxation, aud for tbe repeal of
the law of 1872, relieving certain foreign
products of the 10 per cent. duty. Re
ferred to the Committee on Finance.
The first resolution offered in the House,
was oue by Mr. Hale, of Maine, to amend
the rules bf adopting tho following :
Whenever a question is pending before
tho House, the bpeakor shall not entertain
any motions of a dilatory character, except
one motion to adjourn, and one motion to
fix tho day to which the House shall ad
journ, but the previous question on the en
grossment and third reading of the bill or
joint resolution shall not be ordered dur
ing the first day of its consideration,
unless three-fourths of the members
present shall second the demand, provided
that this rule shall not apply to a House
resolution offered iu the morning hour of
Monday, aud provided farther that it shall
not apply to any proposition to appropriate
the money, the credit, or other property of
the United States, except the regulor appro
priation bills.
Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, made a
point of order which, after discussion, was
overruled, and the resolution was referred
to tho Committee on Rules. *
Iu tho Senate, the Railroad Committee
had a long and rather excited ses
sion, aud adjourned without action.
The proceedings that have transpired give
no plausible indication of the result, though
the through line from ocean to ocean seems
to have the most friends, the argument be
ing that feeders will come of their own ac
cord. There are many connectiug schemes
prevent present, and which may do-
feat final, action. It is either Tom Scott,
pure and simple, or nothing.
SPANISH AFFAIRS.
Madrid, February 1.—The Epoca says
Cushing arid the Minister of Foreign Affairs
have reached an amicable understanding
.for the compensation of the families of the
Virginius victims.
Decrees have been issued permitting the
press to discuss the acts of the Ministry,
forbidding attacks on royalty and religi *u,
and prohibiting the publication of intelli
gence which may be serviceable to the Car-
lists. Newspapers which have been visited
with, the penalty of suspension three times
shall bo wholly suppressed for a fourth of

FRENCH POLITICS.
Paris, February 1.—An amendment passed
by a vote of 553 to 552 to the effect that the
i’resident shall bo elected by a majority of
the Senate aud Chamber of Deputies; that
the Presidential terra shall bo seven years,
and that the President can be re-elected.
Tbe Left are now striving to obtain a favor
able vote on the entire constitutional bill, in
order to obtain this indirect recognition of
the Republic.
THE CARLISTS.
Madrid, February 1.—A great effort is
being made to secure an armistice with the
Caiiiists. The Aifomist Concurs insist on
the relief of Pampeluna as a first prelimi
nary, aud then the maintenance of the statu
5/10'till the submission of the Carlists with
or without the consent ot Don Carlos.
HEAVY STRIKES.
London, February 1.—One hundred and
twenty thousand miners are idle by tho lock

Six thousand shriDwrights of New Castle-
011-Tyne have struck.

The present is a parure of diamonds,
necklace and eardrops, said to be the
most magnificent aud valuable in this
country. The necklace is composed of
four strands of diamonds, each of which
is a brilliant. Not one of them i3 worth
less than $1,000. The chain is studded
with the gems, and they are set so closely
together as to hide the gold. There are
so many of them that Deputy Collector
Lydecker tired in the count. He counted
three hundred and fifty, which is only
about half of the whole number. The
slrands are joined by ten immense stones,
each of which is encircled by smaller
g-ms. The one in front is the size of a
hickory nut, and is worth $20,000. Pend
ant from the front is a festoon of bril
liants with five big pear-shaped stones of
finest water lustre hanging from it. The
ornaments for the ear are single stones
equally as large as the rest. The entire
set is appraised at from $200,000 to
$:;o0.000.
The case for the jewels is plain mo
rocco, without inscription. As soon as
the Secretary of the Treasury orders a
free permit for them under the special
a> t of Congress they are to be delivered
to the Turkish Minister, and by him pre
sented to the fair bride on behalf of the
Egyptian potentate.—N. T. Sun.
Preparing for War. — The maxim
quoted by the President when urging an
appropriation for big guns in the coast
fortifications, “in time of peace prepare
for war,” is no doubt wise and prudent.
The only question is as to the best means
of preparation. Most persons would
supj o ;e that it was more impor
tant to national strength to consolidate
the affections of a people by just Iajvs and
impartial treatment, than to put rifled
guns on a few forts on the coast. It is
more H-.nn probable that these guns would
never need to be fired upon a foreign foe,
though they might be convenient in
knocking down some of onr own seaports.
The true way to employ the opportuni
tics of peace in preparations for war is
to unite the hearts of all sections as they
were united in former times. Who be
lieves that if this were effected, any
nation of the earth or all of them com
bined would make war upon the United
Suites? Such an effective mode of pro*
tecting the country would need no appro
priation from the national treasury—only
the exercise of common sense and com
mon justice in the policy of the govern
ment towards all sections.— Baltimore
Sun.

CRISIS OF THE DAY.
Paautage from Hon. B. H. Hill’* Speech
&VAtlanta, (>a.« on January 20.
[Atlanta Herald.]
It is the darkest chapter in the history
of the country which records that the
executive justifies a suggestion that citi
zens be declared bandits by Presidential
proclamation, and tried by court martial
in the teeth of the Constitution that ex
ecutive has sworn to support, protect and
defend. I tell you, it marks the darkest
era in American history. You can never
comprehend fully its danger or its enor
mity. And he goes so far as to say that
he has no doubt that if Congress should
pass a law, as Sheridan suggests, these
troubles would all cease: that is, end
troubles by subverting the Constitution
Secure peace by destroying liberty!
Punish crime by official perjury, through
the assassination of constitutional govern
ment !
who is the rebel ?
Who shows a spirit of defiance to all law,
and a reckless disregard of all rights?
Sheridan, we are told, is no lawyer; neither
is Grant. And here is this great curse of
the country, that men are rushing into
high positions whose duties they do not
understand, and whose responsibilities
they do not regard. We have an age of
military stateship and civil government
absolutely destroyed, and everything in
time of peace in absolute dominion to
military power. A still more alarming
fact is that their monstrous proposition
is actually defended aud justified by the
leaders of the party, iD Congress and
throughout the United States. That
lawyers like Morton and Conkling and
Edmunds should forget their oath and
get up before the people and justify these
bold, fearless and despotic propositions
passes comprehension. It only shows to
what extent the spirit of usurpation has
gone, and ought to alarm the American
people of the threatening danger to their
institutions.
WHERE IS THE THING TO END?
Think you it will end in Louisiana?
My countrymen, you can’t mistake the
purpose of all this conduct. It has been
manifest from the beginning. It will not
stop with Louisiana unless the people
now frown it down by an indignation un
paralleled in this country. Already a
special committee has been appointed to
see what further repressive legislation is
necessary for the Southern States, and
we are told that the committee is now
absolutely discussing the proposition of
undoing all that has been done; that is
unreconstructing reconstruction and re
constructing again. Why, you know
they said when they commenced recon
struction, that we were outside of the
law, and the idea is to remand us back to
dependence on their power. The very
idea is monstrous; it points to the end to
which this country under this party is
going. It proves as clearly as can be
proved that this party never went into
this war to preserve the Constitution; that
they never went into this war solely to
abolish slavery. I tell you they have con
ducted this government from the day the
Southern people left for the purpose of
perpetuating themselves in power, and
they are determined to perpetuate them
selves in power if they trample upon the
Constitution and every State in the
United States to accomplish the result
WHAT LS RHE PROSPECT OF SUCCESS ?
That is the material inquiry for you and
me. I am delighted to see that a great
many of the more intelligent and pa
triotic citizens of the Republican party
North have taken this matter in hand. Iu
Boston the spirit of liberty is reviving.
Tho noble Evarts-liae sp^kon words that
ought to commend him to every patriot
in the United States. I am glad to sec
Republicans coming out against the sub
version of the Constitution, for every
blow at Louisiana is a blow at every State
in this Union. I have some faith that
the Northern people, who have been so
long the victims of a raging storm of pas
sion, are now awakening to their senses,
and will see that the miserable party of
Constitution haters they have nursed is
under the lead of the greatest rebels, and
the only rebels who have really caused all
our trouble. And yet these men that
thus trample upon the Constitution under
the solemnity of their oaths, which they
take when they take their seats in Con
gress, have the effrontery to get up there
and in the very same breath with which
they justify these enormous violations of
the Constitution, talk to Southern men
about being rebels.
SECESSION WAS A MISTAKE,
a terrible mistake; but secession was no
crime. [Great Applause.] It violated uo
oaths; it trampled upon no individual
rights; it dispersed no Legislature ; it
throttled no State ; it sought to shed no
blood ; it burns no cities ; it invades no
homes! Radicalism is no mistake. It
is deliberate, intentional, wicked; ever
increasing crime; [applause;] it has
trampled upon ten thousand oaths to sup
port the Constitution. It defied the
Union as a fact that it might destroy the
Union as a principle, under pretense of
reconstructing the States. It has sworn
to support the Constitution only to seize
upon power to enable it to subvert the
Constitution; under pretence of restor
ing peace, it has blighted the country
with war, poverty and sorrow.
RADICALISM HAS BURNED CITIES;
it lias dispersed Legislatures; it has
robbed the poor, plundered the helpless;
punished the innocent, and it has chain
ed liberty to the car of tyranny. I ar
ralgn radicalism to-night before the bar
of this outraged country as the only real,
intentional rebel in American history.
[Applause.] It is a rebel against the
Constitution of our fathers. It is a rebel
against the sovereignty of the States. It
is a rebel against the domestic tranquility
which the Constitution was intended to
insure. It is a rebel against every prin
ciple of justice, and a rebel against every
blessing of liberty. [Tremendous aj>-
plause.]
WELL NORTHERN PEOPLE SEE IT?
Can they wake up to see it ? I believe
they can. I believe they will: at least
I have some hope of it. It is time for
the work to begin. The great final
struggle to settle the question whether
constitutional liberty on this continent
shall be continued or not is to be fought
in 187G. Can it be successfully fought
at the ballot ? I warn the country now
tl at Radicalism will never yield its grasp
of power at the bidding of the votes of
the people, save that vote amount to a
popular revolution. Don’t you imagine,
my friends, that this monster against
every right is going to yield its morbid
appetite for power at the bidding of a
bare majority of the people. Never!
never!
That is what it is now preparing for,
aud I tell you the same power that
throttled Louisiana will throttle the elec
toral college of those States and keep the
government in their hands, notwithstand
ing the ballot, and all under the color of
the law, too. [Laughter and applause].
I wont the mind of the American people
directed to one inquiry; it is a great in
quiry, a glorious inquiry! Oh! I look
forward to the discussion with real rap
ture !
WHO, IN AMERICAN HISTORY, IS A REBEL ?
Is it a man who tramples upon the
Constitution, or a man who simply re
sents such infidelity by seeking to get
away from such a party ? To what ex
tent this rebel power may go in defying
the will of the people no one can say.
Look what it has done in Louisiana.
Look at the report of the Congressional
Committee. Stores and property selling
for taxes!
In the interior property is actually
offered for taxes, and that amount cannot
be had. The people impoverished, the
Legislature dispersed, the State power
less; in the interior counties the com
mittee tells us the only white Republicans
are office-holders, and in several instances
there is not a single Republican but one
family, and they all hold offices! That
is why they are Radicals; for the same
reason that
wrongs to others so they get it. That is
the condition of Louisiana. Look at
yonr prostrate sister, and see what Geor
gia has ^escaped. Georgia narrowly es
caped in 1871 the same fate that over
took Louisiana in 1872, and again the
other d^y. It could have been done
easier in Georgia, for in Louisiana Gov.
Warmoth was opposed to it; therefore
they resorted to Durell; but in Georgia
in 1871. the then so-called Governor was
not only willing, but exceedingly anxious
to enter upon the work. Do you think
Georgia was saved by accident? Such
results are never attained by accident.
Was she saved by the ballot ? Did not
Louisiana have the ballot also in 1872 ?
Does not the committee say she
elected a majority in the House
of Representatives again in 1874,
and yet, where is she now? The public
man in America who has not understood
from the beginning that the whole point
and power as well as danger of Radical
ism lies in the fact that they expect to
perpetuate their power by force and in
spite of the ballot-box, has been a stupid
public man, and not fit to be a public
counselor. [Applause.] Now, Georgia
was saved in 1871 by keeping off the
heavy hand of Federal interference. How
it was done is not now proper time to
say. Some have said sneeringly that
said I did it. I never said I did it, but I
say one thing, my slanderers did not do
it. [Laughter and applause. ] I will not
stop to tell what part I acted, but through
out the day of trouble my ears were
salated by but one sound from the rear,
and that was
SLANDER AND CALUMNY FROM THE PEOPLE
I SERVED.
[cheers and applause.] But let that pass;
you shall have that history in due time.
At all events Georgia was saved by exact
ly the reverse process by which Louis
iana was lost. Louisiana was lost by
Federal interference, and Georgia was
saved by Federal non-interference. I
will say this much, I was actuated by no
selfish purpose, and equally was not in
timidated by the war upon me. I had
nothing in view but the rescue of my na
tive State from the domination of Radi
calisin.
HOW GRANT CAME TO BE SO KIND,
and I admit he was kind, is the question
you are some day to understand.
Fellow-citizens, I look to the contest of
1876 not only as the most important that
ever occurred in American history, but
as the most important in the history of
the world; for if the people of the coun
try can not be aroused to give an over
whelming vote against this Republican
party, it will perpetuate itself in power
in the United States by precisely the
same means as the President has taken
in Louisiana, and the people will be
powerless to prevent-it except they go to
war. [Applause.] If we fail with the
ballot-box in 1876 by reason of force, a
startling question will present itself to
the American people. I trust we will
not fail; I hope the Northern people have
had a sufficient subsidence of passion to
see the question fairly. I think they will;
I trust the}' will. The indications are in
cur favor. In truth, the majority of the
North were always in favor of the Con
stitution.
They were in favor of constitutional
government, they were in favor of con
stitutional liberty, but they have been
carried away by the raging storm of pas
sion, and, by the unfortunate secession
of the South, taken possession of by fa
natical leaders. Led on under the misera
ble delusion that they were preserving
the Union, and keeping down rebellion,
they have been aiding and rewarding the
only rebels in America in the work of
and
CARRION GROWS LXKR CARRION,
thay care not what may be
the
DESTROYING THE CONSTITUTION.
Thev» Is the poidt; they must now be
able to see it; if they will still be blind.
If poor Louisiana cannot teach them that
this party means the destruction of con
stitutional government on this continent,
then, indeed, the great question, and.the
only question behind for their thought is
the one that must be propounded, and
from ^hich there is no escape. The
question is, is the Constitution of onr fa
thers worth blood ? Will you have war
or despotism ?
WILL YOU HAVE BLOOD OR EMPIRE?
That is the question. If you appeal to
the ballot-box, it w’ill fail unless the peo
ple rally by overwhelming majority, such
as in the majesty f»f its irresistible power
shall sweep rebellion from the offices of
the government by the very breath of its
indignation. Nothing else can save it;
nothing else will save it. The next Con
gress of the United States is in import
ance over every preceding Congress from
the adoption of the Constitution to the
present time. The debates of the next
Congress must give shape to the Presi
dential election. They should be wise,
burning, and patriotic, and in the wisdom
of those debates the Northern people
must receive enlightened intelligence
that will enable them to rise and save the
liberties of the country. To this dread
ful issue I have looked with earnest
ness for years. I tell you, my friends,
there is
NO PEACE FOB TIIIS COUNTRY UNTIL RADI
CALISM IS CRUSHED;
not only crushed but despised; not only
despised but made fnfamous forever
throughout America. [Tumultuous ap
plause and cheers.] But oh, how my
heart in this trying hour forgives all the
strife of the past, and goes out with pa
triotic affection to every Northern man
who wakes to the reality of the situation,
and says that at last he has discovered
that the only true friend of the Union is
the friend of the Constitution. [Ap
plause.] What an occasion for us. What
shall we, of the South, do? We are
powerless in one sense, but there is much
we can do. Let us now, everywhere in
the South, habitually speak of the Con
stitution and the Union under it with
that old reverence and love that distin
guished us in the days that are past and
gone. I say to-night, there was not a
single hour in American history when
the Southern heart was not true to that
Constitution. [Applause.] When the
signal of war was given in Massachusetts
in the first revolution, Georgia was one
of the first to march to the fight of Mas
sachusetts for the liberties of us all.
CONCLUSION.
If we must have war—if we can not
preserve this Constitution and constitu
tional government by the ballot—if force
is to defeat the ballot—if the war must
come—God forbid that it should come—
but if it must come—if folly, wickedness
—if inordinate love of power shall de
cree that America must save her Consti
tution by blood, let it come. I am ready.
[Enthusiastic applause and cheering.]
But let one thing be distinctly under
stood, that if another war should come,
we of the South will rally under the old
flag of our fathers. [Wild applause.] It
always was our flag. We were never
faithless to it, and our enemies were nev
er faithful to it. [Applause.]
The Struggle In Congress.
Matters iu Congress indicate the proba
bility of a violent and disorderly struggle
between the majority and minority
towards the close of the session. Thirty
working days only of the session remain,
and while little has been done, a great
deal that the majority would like to do
remains to be done. The Louisiana ques
tion has not been touched: the civil rights
bill has not been taken from the Speaker’s
table in the House: the proposed consti
tutional amendment changing the method
of choosing Presidents has but begun to
be considered; the scheme for increasing
the revenues so urgently pressed by the
President has not yet emerged from the
hands of the committee; the extraordi
nary demand of the President for larger
sStpl £aUis.

seacoast forts has not been responded to:
many other minor matters, such as the
Arkansas case, the Indian territory pro
ject, the tariff and the district govern
ment question, are iu a very raw state;
and even the appropriation bills are far
from being secure.
It is evident that the majority do not
know what to do with several of these
questions; the Louisiana business alone
is a puzzle they cannot solve, and the
additional taxation demanded by the
President is something they are afraid of.
It is evident, also, that the minority are
determined that some of these questions
shall not be disposed of by this Congress
if they can prevent it; it is even possible
that, in the inevitable contest which
seems to be approaching, the minority
may attempt to defeat the appropriation
bills and thus force the necessity for a
called session of the new Congress. The
unsuccessful attempt made on Monday to
pass a gag law against the minority in
the Honse, and the project, boldly sug
gested by some of the Republicans, of j
having this Congress pass appropriations
for two years, so as to deprive the next
House of its legitimate control over the
t xpenditures of the government, clearly
indicate the relations between the ma
jority and the minority.
The administration is evidently uneasy;
when the present Congress adjourns its
party in the House will be gone and it
will be at the mercy of a pitiless and ex
asperated Democratic majority from
which it can expect no favors; and this
to a Pres dent that for six years has been
permitted to act much according to his
own will is a very disagreeable prospect.
There is no telling what the Republicans
would do if they could hold together; in
deed, when we see such a man as Senator
Sherman of Ohio openly approving the
conduct of the troops in breaking up the
Louisiana Legislature, there is no telling
what Congressional violence they may
attempt before the close of the present
session. It need not surprise us, there
fore, to see a struggle begin between a
desperate majority bent on passing its
measures under whip and spur, and a
fierce minority intent on defeating these
measures by dilatory motions and filibus
tering devices.—St. Louis Republican.

Tracy had just asked witness a question
and received an answer about this matter,
when business was interrupted by an
episode. A messenger handed a Dote to
Fullerton, of Tilton’s counsel, who handed
to Evarts, of Beecher’s counsel, when a
few words of conversation took place,
and both lawyers simultaneously told him
that some one at the door desired his
presence. He left his chair and walked
rapidly to the door, which he passed
through, when Fullerton addressed the
court, saying that the sudden and unex
pected death of Mr. Moulton's mother,
made his absence necessary, and should
cause the postponement of any farther
cross-examination. The Judge uttered
an exclamation of surprise, and Mr.
Evaits hoped the Court would accede to
Mr. Fullerton’s request, which Judge
NeiLson at once expressed his readiness to
do. This action had hardly been taken
when Moulton walked again rapidly into
Court, stood before the Judge and said:
lour Honor, I have just learned of my
mother’s death, but I will finish this ex
amination now, if it won't be too long,
before I go.”
His emotions were evidently strong,
and his eyes were filled with tears, yet
his voice was clear and but slightly
tremulous. The feelings of all present
were touched, and Mr. Beecher looked
with a sympathetic face upon his accuser.
The judge told him that his further testi
mony would be deferred, but witness and
F ullerton exchanged a few words, when
the latter rose, saying he had referred the
request to the witness, and he himself
thought it desirable that private grief
should give way to public duty. lie has
consented, and we will finish this exam
ination. Upon this, Moulton again
stepped up to the witness chair.
I learn that his brother-in-law, who
was in ante-room, had brought the news,
but it was there communicated to him by
Mr. Morris, who said: “Frank, I’ve bad
news for you; you must be prepared for
the worst: your mother is dead.” “My
God, is it true; my mother ?” His emo
tions were strong, but he added: “Sam,
I must go on with this cross-examination.
It's my first duty now.” He moved to
ward the court room, repeating, “I must
finish this cross-examination; this I must
do the first thing." It appears that his
mother, whose husband is still living,
died in New York, at an early hour in the
moruing. after a few days’ illness, which
resulted in pneumonia, but the news had
been kept from him till 1 oon.
The Senate Naval Committee on Thurs
day heard the Hon. Samuel Shellabarger,

Scuate bill 197, accepting the proffer of

steamship yard and in the West a boat
building yard, Ac. These companies pro
pose to put upon the Atlantic within
three years a line of twelve first-class
ocean steamers—without subsidy. At the
last session of Congress the Senate Naval
Committee recommended the passage of
this bill. Its passage has also been re
commended by the Secretary of the Navy
