FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31,1875.
If a man could be found, says the
Washington Gazette, so conversant with
human nature, so learned in political
history, and so endowed with genius as
. to be able to comprehend and illustrate
the defects in our Federal Constitution,
and to formulate and recommend to the
common understanding the proper
amendments, by devoting his life to that
employment, he would perform a service
than which none would be entitled to a
fame more enduring. But no man who
Vi ad to do with the making and adoption
of the late amendments, and with the re
construction of the Southern States, has
the remotest claim to such capacity or
the least title to be intrusted in a work
of so much delicacy and responsibility.
The statesman who can bring himself to
sophisticate the Constitution of his coun
try, debauch her institutions, and plant
the seeds of permanent anarchy in her
society, political and domestic, for s
party purpose, is too base a person for
such an employment. Mr. Morton and
Mr. Blaine have the ambition to illustrate
themselves as menders of the Constitu
tion, but they are unfit. They have not
the rudiments of the necessary knowl
edge. They have not the proper records.
They have no motives higher than to
make themselves conspicuous; to pander
to some temporary passion or current fa
naticism ; to combine elements which
are dangerous in their combination, in
order to ride into places of dignity to
which they have no entitlement from
their acts or their characters.
Tebbitobiax Officebs.—A Washing
ton dispatch says the Territorial Dele
gates have united upon a plan of action
by which they propose to hold the Pre
sident to a voluntary promise made sev
eral years ago, and secure for the Amer
ican colonies, in the Centennial year,
home rule. Grant said in the summer of
1872, that the territorial offices ought to
be filled exclusively by residents of the
territory, and yet the very first vacancy
which occurred after the declaration,
made in the presence of the delegates
from all the territories, he appointed an
Eastern man to an important position.
The present delegates say that if they
are permitted to elect their own territo
rial officers, none of the territories will
care to become States, at least for years,
and had Colorado the choice between in
dependence as a territory and represen
tation in Congress she would to-day pre
fer a territorial form of government un
der home rule. Both in the House and
Senate this proposed new era for the
1 ‘colonies” will receive the support of the
Democratic members.
A Wonderfully Successful Fair.—
The Hebrew Charity Fair which opened
at Gilmore’s Garden, New York, Decem
ber Gth, closed on Thursday night. The
fair, with the exception of the Sanitary
Fair, was the largest ever held in that city,
and met with a success beyond the antici
pations of the most sanguine. The prizes
were awarded at the close of the fair. Miss
Rachel Cardozo, a niece of Judge Car-
dozo, received the diamond ring which
was offered for the most “ favorite lady,”
she receiving the largest number of votes.
The result pecuniarily of the fair is as
tonishing considering the times, and
would be noteworthy' in the most suc
cessful business season. The receipts
were $135,000 and the total expenses but
$25,000, leaving a net profit for the Mt.
Sinai Hospital of $110,000. Of this
amount $99,000 is due to the sinking
fund of the hospital. The rest will be
credited to the institution.
Dealing with Banditti.—Our diplo
matic correspondence with Mexico in re
lation to the murderous incursions of
banditti into Texas, appears to have ac
complished next to nothing so far as any
practical guarantees or any active and
earnest movements for their suppression
are concerned. The remedy proposed to
the Mexican Government, that of permit
ting United States troops to pursue the
thieves into Mexican territoyy, does not
meet with approval there, nor does any
other remedy seem to possess any accept
able characteristics. In view of recent
indications it is not improbable that a
repetition of General McKenzie’s tactics,
a dash into Mexico without permission,
will be resorted to with similarly sanguine
results.
Discharge of a Surety.—It is said that
the question whether a surety is dis
charged unless there is an exact per
formance of the contract had never come
distinctly before an English Court of
Error until the case of Thornton vs.
Pickles, appealed from the Exchequer,
and decided by the new Court of Appeal,
November 20th. There the surety bound
himself for the payment of an acceptance
for .£140 at four months, and the creditor
instead took two bills for a total of £145.
The Court of Appeal held that the varia
tion discharged the surety, not merely
from the payment of the £5 excess, but
from all liability whatever on the con
tract.
The National Organization to secure
the Religious Amendments to the Con
stitution of the United States, proposes
articles to compel the States to maintain
Sabbath laws, to require the reading of
the Bible in the public schocls, to defend
the judicial oath and other Christian
features of the government, and to secure
suitable religious acknowledgments in all
the new State constitutions. These be
ing exactly in the line of Mr. Blaine’s
projects for amendment, the Washington
Gazette thinks he would do well to attach
himself to the posterior extremity of
this organization.
There is a wide-spread suspicion in
the State of New York that the attempt
to send a Conkling delegation to the Na
tional Convention is a third term move
ment in disguise. It is said of Senator
Conkling that if he cannot be nominated
for President himself, he would rather
see Grant get the nomination than any
one else, and hence that a Conkling dele
gation means simply a delegation with
the Senator for first choice and Grant for
Becond.
Harper’s Weekly and the Third Term,
Mr. Curtis, who has the credit of writ
ing the leaders in Harper 8 Weekly.
seems to be still troubled by the dread of
a third term, or rather of President
Grant’s renomination. He gives good
reasons: In the first place, President
Grant has never explicitly declared his
determination not to accept a renomina
tion. He is still “in the hands of his
friends;” and his friends are as evasive as
he is. The other day, General Sharpe,
Surveyor of the port at New York,
made a speech at a public dinner, ir
which he said : “I can tell you—and
I know what I am saying—that General
Grant has but one thing more, but
one other desire to be gratified, to
make the cup of his glory full.
It is no personal hope or desire ; he has
but one single thought—I know it my
self—and that is that his own administra
tion may be succeeded by a Republican
administration. ” This speech is far from
satisfactory to the Journal of Civilization.
It thinks that if General Sharpe knew or
thought General Grant would not accept
the nomination he would have said so in
plain terms. As it is he has left the
question open. If the President is not
re-nominated, he and his friends can say
they never expected or hoped for it; if
he is, then he and they will have said
nothing inconsistent with his candidacy.
The same article also calls attention to
the fact that the President is the second
choice of the whole “Grant group,” Mor
ton, Conkling, and the rest of that school
of politicians. If Mr. Morton cannot se
cure the nomination his backers will sup
port Grant, and the same may be said of
Mr. Conkling’s following.
In view of these things, Mr. Curtis
calls on the opponents of a third term to
speak out; advises that no man be sent
as a delegate to a State Convention whose
views are not decided and pronounced
upon the subject; and suggests that the
Republican press declare that it will not
advocate or assist in the re-election of
General Grant, however regularly re
nominated.
It seems that our ambitious chieftains
who went out to assume control of the
Khedive’s army are about to find their
time and military talents put to some
use. Most of them sought and obtained
their positions under the impression that
they had got a soft thing. But when
they have to march off to the mountains
and fastnesses of Abyssinia to avenge the
late Egyptian slaughter committed there,
they will no longer feel that they are
eating the Viceroy’s bread of idleness.
They will begin to realize that they are
earning their money excellently well. Be
sides this, the Abyssinian troops are un
der the leadership of an American offi
cer, Colonel Iiouth, who will make an
able fight with his hardy troops. The
Americo-Egyptian Generals will be given
opportunity to earn their money.
No Accounting for Grant.—The
Philadelphia Times says that when Durell
resigned it was thought that the Presi
dent could not possibly appoint a worse
man in his place. But observe the point
—the public has never yet appreciated
Grant’s capacity in that line. Nobody
else could have done it, and it has taken
even Grant a whole year; but he has ac
complished it at last. Billings is just
this much worse than Durell, that Durell,
in the rare intervals of sobriety, did oc
casionally have some compunctions, and
it was necessary to get him very drunk
before he would sign the famous midnight
c^der. That order Billings wrote, and
drunk or sober Billings was never known
to hesitate at any rascality.
It seems to be agreed on many hands
that General Grant did not make a fa
vorable impression upon the thousands
assembled at Philadelphia on the late ex
cursion tp that city. Why such was the
case is not distinctly stated, but among
the large number of able, well-bred, and
brilliant gentlemen who were present, it
is admitted that he did not show to ad
vantage.
Encouraging Southern Immigration.
—Governor Garland, of Arkansas, has
invited the Governors of Alabama,
Louisiana. Texas, Mississippi and Ten
nessee to unite with him in a call for a
convention of the Southern States this
winter at New Orleans for the purpose of
determining upon a mutual plan for the
encouragement of immigration to the
$outh from Europe.
A “color war” seems imminent in Li
beria. The agitators, under the lead of a
full-blooded negro from the West Indies,
are striking high, aiming at no less a per
sonage than President Roberts, who does
not happen to be of pure African breed.
Roberts is said to be very much embar
rassed about it. It was to be supposed
that the peace of the republic was dis
turbed sufficiently by the incursions of
savages and other warlike people. To be
set all agog now with an internal conflict
having a shade test for its basis seems to
be very ridiculous under the circumstan
ces, and is not calculated to increase the
public sympathy for the republic in its
troubles.
Mrs. Beecher, the New York Sun says,
has been justifying her husband’s opinion
of her for business ability by inducing
unsuspecting girls who have small
balances in savings banks to invest them
with the sinking fortunes of the Christian
World, representing that by so doing
they would be improving their invest
ments and, at the same time, helping
Mr. Beecher along. One young woman
who had thus “placed” her money, only
regained possession of it after threaten
ing a law suit and another ramification of
the scandal. Poor Mrs. Beecher has
trouble enough with her big overgrown
boy.
In the general reduction of the cost of
government, the Navy Department will
be made to contribute to the savings not
less than fourteen millions of dollars.
Nearly every item in the estimates for
the next fiscal year is an increase over the
present appropriation, and every one will
probably be curtailed instead. The Ma
rine corps, which costs about a million
annually, ought to be wiped out alto
gether, which will make in all fifteen
millions saved in this department. Thir
ty five millions in the army and navy !
Next in order are the Indian Bureau and
the Department of Justice.
The French Assembly is electing life
Senators. The number to be chosen for
this important office is seventy- five, and,
notwithstanding the fact that the As
sembly heretofore has been rather anti-
Republican, considerably over half the
Senators already chosen are Republicans.
It is evident that the French leaders have
no confidence in either the Bonapartists
or the Orleans princes, and that out of
the present republic will soon come
either settled order or the most diabolical
confusion since the days of “93.”
Mr. Morton will find it difficult to
make a clear exhibit of intimidation
from the Mississippi election returns.
The official announcement of the vote
shows that tho Republicans polled within
about 3,400 of their total vote in 1873,
when they carried the State. The Demo
cratic figures show heavy gains, but we
fail to see anything significant in the
slight Republican loss. Probably, though,
Mr. Morton can prove that 3,400 colored
voters were killed outright on election
day. _
For a cranberry patch, New Jersey is
tolerably valuable. The assessors of the
various counties have just made their
annual returns, and the aggregate assess
ment of the State amounts to $613,993,-
196. While all the cranberry regions
have increased in value, other property
baa declined, so that the total valuation is
five millions less than that of last year.
Secretary
The rice production of the Cape Fear
district of North Carolina, which was
about 200,000 bushels before the war, is
now barely 10,000 bushels, and diminish-
ing. The tobacco crop in the northern
belt of the State is the largest since the
war.
Bristow and the Whisky
Ring.
It seems that the amouut of lying con
nected with the whisky frauds is about
equal to the amount of money stolen
from the government. The lying, like
the stealing, is confined to the members
of the whisky ring and their organs, and
as they are all loyal Radicals, the honors
are tolerably even. It seems that there
are two factions—one sympathis
ing with Grant and Babcoek. and
the other with Secretary Bristow.
While the latter are making at least a
show of honest effort to expose the whis
ky frauds and to bring the culprits to
justice, the former, as it seems, are re
sorting to the most unscrupulous false
hoods in their efforts to screen them
selves and implicate the Secretary. We
yesterday published from the Chicago
Inter-Ocean, what purported to be
a proposition from Gen. Babcock, to
go before a Congressional investigating
committee with a full confession of his
connection with the whisky frauds, and
an exposure of transactions equally crimi
nating Secretary Bristow. As the Inter-
Ocean is a most unscrupulous Radical
sheet, and is known to be in the interest
of Babcock and his ring confederates,
we gave the article only for what
it was worth. It is now asserted that
the article of the Inter-Ocean is a tissue
of falsehood throughout. Babcock de
nies that he authorized the statements of
the writer. A special to the Baltimore
Sun says General Babcock called on the
Secretary on Monday morning and very
positively assured him that he had made
no such statement^ as that attributed to
him by the Chicago paper. The dispatch
further says:
“General Babcock is equally emphatic
in denying the other part of the story, to
the effect that he was to receive pardon
on condition of making a ‘full breast of
it’ before a Congressional committee of
investigation. The editor of the paper
in which the publication appeared tele
graphed here this afternoon that the
article was inserted without his knowl
edge. So far as General Babcock is con
cerned he has preserved the most im
plicit silence on the subject, with the
single exception of what he lias said to
the President. It is very true that he
does not cherish the warmest affection
for the Secretary of the Treasury, any
more than do several other of the special
friends of the President, but he has let
no sign escape him, and he will not until
his trial is over.”
BY TELEGRAPH
THE MORNING NEWS.
It is many years since Captain John
Symmes, the autho r of the theory known
under the title of “Symmes’s Hole,”
died, but it seems that his son inherited
his belief, and recently in an Ohio lecture
he explained to some of the present
generation the long shelved idea. Capt.
Symmes lived and died in the belief that
the earth was hollow, its crust being
about one thousand miles thick and that
it was possible to sail into the interior
space by the way of the open sea at the
North Pole. He held that this intenor
surface was inhabited, and gave an inge
nious explanation of the manner in which
heat and light were imparted. His son,
who recently gave renewed publicity to
this theory, spoke with sorrow of the fact
that the Polaris turned back when within
one day’s sail of the open sea. Doubti
less few will consider it worth the while
to spend much money to prove the cor
rectness or falsity of the “Symmes’s
Hole” idea, but such things tickle the
imagination into dreaming of the possi
bilities of that expanse beyond the ken
of dwellers on the upper crust of the
earth, and if the many explorers’of the
North will settle the nature of that warm
northern ocean the world will be much
obliged to them. The carpet-bag tramps
who at present infest the South are
especially interested in this matter, as
judging from the signs of the times the
day is not far distant when they will be
looking for Symmes’s Hole or some other
place to which they may emigrate.
That Pesky Plymouth Rock.—A most
obtrusive boulder is Plymouth Rock.
The Sons of the Pilgrims have just jubi
lated exceedingly much over the two
hundred and fifty -fifth anniversary of
the landing of their fathers, in the
neighborhood of that ancient town. New
York fed an already replete President at
Delmonico’s, where General Shermin,
Postmaster General Jewell and the Ja
panese Minister gave a cosmopolitan tone
to pilgrim virtue, and slavered each other
in a lovely way. The day was also cele
brated at Ann Arbor, Michigan; Madi
son, Wisconsin, and in sundry
other places where the permeating
pilgrim has found a seat. Now,
remarks the Mobile Register, there be
heathens and unbelievers who think that
classic stepping stone of history was as
much of a curse as it is of a blessing; and
that the Puritan distilment of to-day has
rather adulterated than purified the in
coming stream of less celebrated landing
places than The Rock. But many men
will have many minds, and there can be
no possible objection to New York pil
grims feeding capacious chief magistrates
to the end of time, so long as the bills
are promptly paid. Bile and headache
are personal matters, and greatness must
have its drawbacks.
Those ’ciety boys they have in Wash
ington are queer hairpins. One of them,
according to a correspondent of the Bos
ton Post, wears his hair a la Pompadour.
It is rolled back from his forehead over a
cushion, or what the girls call a “rat.”
His necktie, gloves and low shoes are
faultless; and he is, altogether, the most
darling exquisite we have. He is very
fastidious and critical about the toilettes
of the young ladies whom he honors with
a danoe. His manners are as polished as
his boots, and the bagginess of his trous
ers about his dainty feet have caused the
suggestion to be made that they should
be tied back like the ladies’ skirts.
The English Channel Tunnel.—M.
La valley, President of the French Society
of Civil Engineers, and inventor of the
powerful apparatus which contributed to
the rapid construction of the Suez canal,
announces that fifteen experimental
soundings have been made in the straits
of Dover. In none of them were the
results unfavorable to the possibility of
boring a tunnel to join France and Eng
land, and M. Lavalley adds that all the
engineers are agreed that the cpmpletion
of the project is only a question of time
and money.
The Cincinnati Enquirer has hit upon
a plan for resuming specie payments,
which it thinks is worth half a dozen
resumption bills. Here it is: “Find
out how much money Republican
office holders, great and little, have
stolen from the government, and recover
a quarter of it, put it in the treasury and
resume. Apply the surplus to the pay
ment of the national debt.”
Who wouldn’t hold up both hands for
speoie resumption on such terms ?
If the House attends vigilantly and ex
clusively to the investigating business it
will hardly have time to pass the neces
sary appropriation bills before the hottest
days of the year are upon them. It
should, therefore, begin early. In the
meantime it will make the atmosphere of
Washington very hot for Grant and his
rings.

RAILROAD FREIGHTS.
New York, December 30.—A special meet
ing of the Cheap Transportation'Asaociation
was held to-day. The Committee on Claims
and Grievances reported against extreme
low rates for freight on New York railroads.
What they want is uniformity in rates. They
are not in favor of rates so low that they
cannot pay a fair and liberal return on the
the capital actually invested, nor are they
in favor of rates so high that eight per cent,
can be paid on a capital of twice the amouut
ever paid in by stock and bondholders, as
is the case with the New York Central
Railroad. The committee also ex
press dissent to the practice of giv
ing special contracts as being no
protection to commerce, and, besides,
a direct premium to other distributing
points to divert traffic which would naturally
come to this market. The committee say in
regard to rates now ruling that it is proba
ble they will not long be maintained, as the
basis of 30, 25, 20 and 15 cents per hundred
pounds to Chicago for first, second, and
fourth and special classes respectively are
too low. A fair basis at this time would be 50,
40, 35. 30 and 25 on both eastern and western
bound freights, at which rates a road hon
estly capitalized and managed could pay a
liberal interest on the investment. This esti
mate is the result of careful study during a
term of years, aided by several of the most
eminent railroad engineers. Uniform rates
like these would soon build up a large and
steady traffic which would till many cars
that are now sent back to the West empty,
and thus in the end pay both carrier and
merchant better than the policy pursued in
the past of making nominal rates on a basis
of seventy-five cents or one dollar for first-
class freight to Chicago and then
cutting under by making special
contracts with favorite shippers at perhaps
one-third to one-fourth these rates. The
report was adopted. A meeting of railroad
representatives in relation to the regula
tion of rates on freight between the West
and EaBt was held to-day at the Grand Cen
tral depot. The Erie, Pennsylvania, New
York Central, Michigan Southern, Michigan
Central, Boston and Albany and other roads
were represented. Various propositions,
looking towards an iucreaso of freight
rates between Boston and New York and
Chicago from the present unusually low rates
ruling between tliese points were discussed,
but no definite conclusion was arrived at.
A recess was takeD, after which Messrs.
Hickson, of the Grand Trunk. Willis, of the
Vermont Central, Bliss, of the Boston and
Albany, and W. H. Vanderbilt and Mr.
Rutter, of the New York Central Roads, met
at the Brevoort House. After two hours’
deliberation it was resolved to increase the
rates to the old basis of seventy-five cents
per one hundred pounds to Chicago. A
meeting of all the roads will be held shortly
to ratify this motion.

Paris, December 30.—In the Assembly to
day the debate on the report of the Coi
mittee on Dissolution was continued. Tho
committee had submitted a motion that the
Assembly finally separate to-morrow, even
if the seven bills which still await considera
tion should not bo disposed of. M. Callaux,
Minister of Public Works, urged the House
not to adjourn until the bills were passed.
This was agreed to, audit is therefore prob-
ablo that the Assembly will meet again in
January. The Left are greatly dissatisfied
over the delay iu tho final adjournment.
Tho Assembly adopted all other recom
mendations of the Committee on Dissolu
tion, viz: That delegates to choose Sena
tors be elected January 9th; that they pro
ceed to the election of Senators January
23d; that a general election for members of
tho Chamber of Deputies be held February
20ib; and that noth Houses meet March 8th.
The Assembly will appoint a permanent
committee to-morrow.
CUBA AND THE UNITED STATES.
London, December 30.—Reuter’s Tele
gram Company publish a statement that
the American Minister here, in the name of
his government, has addressed tho Britisfi
Government for the purpose of learning its
views respecting a collective intervention
of European powers with the object of put
ting a stop to bloodshed iu Cuba. The
British Government has deferred answering
definitely for the present. This informa
tion cornea from a special and authentic
source.
TUe Truth About Mississippi.
The real facts about the Mississippi
election are undoubtedly given fairly by
the Southern correspondent of the Cin
cinnati Commercial. He thinks Senator
Morton’s proposed investigation will be
fruitless, for these reasons:
“I was in Mississippi during the latter
part of the campaign and until after the
election. The sum and substance of the
whole thing is this: The blacks are noto
riously incompetent to govern wisely or
well. They elevated a miserable set to
office, and all the interests of the
State suffered. Men were made
Judges who never read a law
book. The whole concern down there
is a travesty on the very name of govern
ment. It was not a government. It ex
isted only by toleration of the whites,
and in the late campaign it became a
question of self-preservation, and the
property holders arose and turned it over.
There was no fraud or ballot-box stuff
ing, but there was an immense deal of
quiet intimidation. The blacks were
given to understand that they must
elect a better set of men to office, and
they did it. The Legislature-elect is
as superior to any Legislature Missis
sippi has had in seven years as civiliza
tion is superior to lowest ignorance. The
charge of ‘intimidation’ in very many
counties can bo sustained, but ballot-box
stuffing cannot. Senator Morton is as
tonished at the rapid growth of the
Democratic vote. He suspects ballot-box
stuffing. At no election heretofore have
the Democrats polled their full strength.
This is notorious. They have labored un
der a degree of discouragement equal to
that of the Democrats of Vermont The
registration tells the story. The registra
tion of whites in every county during
the last campaign was from ten to forty
per cent, above previous registrations.
On election day they all turned out. At
no election in the history of the State
has there been such a white vote cast.
You can ride from one end of the State
to the other without finding a white man
who did not vote. If there is no other
object in view than to prevent bloodshed,
for that reason alone it would be best for
the Senate to let Mississippi alone. An
attempt to set aside tho late election will
result in bad blood, violence, riots, shot
gun arguments, and the poor blacks, who
really are interested very little in any
thing but good cotton crops, will be the
chief sufferers.”
Tho largest workshop of the body is the
liver, whose office it is to withdraw the bile
from the blood; when this important organ
does not act the skin assumes a yellow ap
pearance, and generally a sick headacho sets
in, with chilly sensations, and cold hands
and feet, accompanied with loss of appetite.
The system becomes clogged, the machinery
does not work well, and both mind and body
are disordered, the afflicted becoming cross
and fretful, finding fault with everything
around them. To any person in this condi
tion Dr. D. Jayne’s Sanative Pills are recom
mended; by their stimulating action the
liver soon recovers its healthy tone, ar-d is
enabled to perform its proper functions.

ing symptoms of billiousness removed
