SATURDAY, JANUARY 8, 1876.
oabor in Demand at the South.
Jhe New York Bulletin is encouraging
deployed laborers in the Northern
n/il to go South, where, it says, there
Abundant employment for all who are
willing to work. The editor says: “At
this moment, as we learn from our ex
changes, there is an urgent demand for
almost every description of farm labor,
especially throughout Mississippi, North
Alabama and Tennessee. In Mississippi
there is still an extensive, area of cotton
V Yet ungathered, most of which, it is
\^f\ftred, will be left to ruin in consequence
Of the mere lack of hands required to do
the picking. According to a statement
in the Louisville Courier, planters are
\ willingly paying four and five cents per
V pound for this work, which would yield
to industrious men from three to five
dollars per day. For day labor in other
departments of farm work two to three
dollars per day is paid.”
There is no portion of the South where
industrious laborers are not needed, and
where they would not find immediate em
ployment at good wages. Thousands who
with their families are now starving and
shivering in the Northern cities, driven
to despair and crime by want of employ
ment and the simple necessaries of life,
would find in our genial climate and on
our fertile soil a home where labor is re
warded with plenty, and where in a few
years they might establish themselves
and families in independent competence.
In our own State there is room for hun
dreds of thousands of honest and indus
trious emigrants.
The St. Louis Republican, in a lucid
article upon the subject, emphasizes the
fact that the brunt of the present hard
times falls unexpectedly on the East and
not on the West and South, saying that it
has now become so plain as to need no
demonstration. It finds Eastern papers
filled with loud complaints of high valua
tions and taxes, exhibits of shrinkages in
the value of real estate and personal se
curities, chronicles of failures, announce
ments of the closing of manufactories, or
the reduction of work to half time, and
many other indications of a depressed
condition of trade and industry. All
these evidences of a protracted Htagaa
tion in which the mechanic is forced to
devour his savings, and the capitalist his
capital, abound at the East, while in the
Sooth and West the people aro compara
tively cheerful and contented.
If the people of the South and West
are comparatively cheerful under the ex
isting condition of affairs, it is not be
cause they are so much better off than
the people of the North and East, but
because we have become hsed to being
plundered and oppressed.
VlBGINIA AND THE CENTENNIAL.—The
committee appointed by Gov. Kemper to
secure a proper representation for Vir
ginia at the National Centennial have
addressed a letter to the Governor resign
ing their appointments, because of the
failure of the Legislature to make the
necessary appropriation to accomplish
the objects desired. They express the
opinion that even should the Legislature
now make an appropriation the time has
passed for making an exhibition of Vir
ginia’s products a success, as the 10th of
April is the last day on which articles for
exhibition will be received. The Legis
lature of Virginia declined to make an
appropriation of $10,000 for Centennial
expenses for the same reason that should
deter every other Southern State from ap
propriating money for the same purpose,
viz: the people of the impoverished
South have got use for all their money at
home.
The Chicago Ring.—Alluding to the
arrest of Hesing, Rehm, Miller and
Minty, in Chicago, all local magistrates,
on the charge of complicity in the
whisky frauds, the Chicago Times says
it is understood Rehm officiated as active
agent of the black-mailers, performing
in Chicago something like the functions
assigned Joyce in St. Louis. The amount
levied upon the distillers is estimated at
$18,000 a month. Hesing, Rehm, Miller
and Minty, the distillers say, insisted
upon the regular payment of this assess
ment as a tribute to the vast “influence”
they wielded in protecting the crooked
whisky factories.
Another Beeeher Dolce.
It will be remembered that a man by
the name of Loader, a Brooklyn uphols
terer. made a very damaging affidavit
against Beecher about the close of the
great scandal suit. This affidavit was
published in the papers, and was brought
to the attention of the court, but the
effect of it waa squelched for the time
being by the indictment o:f Loader with
a man by the name of Price for perjury.
Since that time Loader has been held to
answer, but his trial was deferred on
one pretext or another until recently,
when his attorneys applied for a commis
sion to take the testimony of Mr. aDd
Mrs. Rickards, the brother-in-law and
sister of Tilton, by whose testimony it
was averred the defendant would be able
to establish the truth of his previous affi
davit. This proposition fell upon the
prosecution like a wet blanket. We heard
no more of the trial of Loader until Mon
day last, when, to the surprise of every
body, Beecher’s attorneys asked permis
sion to enter a nrtle prosequi, which be
ing granted by the court the case was
dismissed. This case was not dismissed
precisely on the same grounds that
Beecher’s slander suit against Moulton
was withdrawn. It seems that after it
became known that Mr. and Mrs. Rich
ards’ testimony would reveal the confes
sions of Mrs. Tilton and establish the
truth of Loader’s affidavit, the prosecu
tion set its wits to work in behalf of that
persecuted individual and astonished him
by the discovery that when he made the
affidavits he didn’t know what he was
doing it for. To be sure he had appeared
in court by counsel, accepted the respon
sibility of his act, reiterated the truth of
the statements he had made, and gave a
very significant indication of his intention
to fight. But then he had not made the
affidavit as a witness in the Beecher trial,
and as that saint had received no damage
from it, and as it would take a long time
to try the case, and as the people were
wearied with the details of the scandal
in the benevolence of his Heart the pastor
of Plymouth Church desired that the
case should be dismissed and the perjurer
set at liberty. It is intimated in the
Brooklyn papers that Loader is satisfied
with the result, but what amount of
money compensated him for his arrest
and confinement in jail on a charge of
perjury is not stated. The public are apt
to conclude that the nol. pros, was in the
interest of the prosecutor, who really had
more to apprehend from the result of a
fair trial of the case than the defendant.
The Maryland Election Contests.
Another election contest was inaugurated
on Tuesday in Baltimore. Henry M.
Warfield, Reform candidate for Mayor of
that city at the late municipal election,
October 27th, 1875, filed, through coun
sel, a petition m the Superior Court, con
testing the election of Mayor Ferdinand
C. Latrobe. City Council committees
have been engaged for over six weeks
taking testimony in three or four con
tests for seats in the City Councils, grow
ing out of the same election, and it is
reported one or two more contests will be
instituted. Three Justices of the Peace
have been sitting for two weeks or more
taking testimony in the three Legislative
districts of Baltimore city, at the in
stance of Reform candidates contesting
the election of the Democrats returned
elected at the late State election. In the
House of Delegates, J. Morrison Harris,
Reform candidate for Governor, will
protest against the return of the Gov
ernor-elect, John Lee Carroll. There
will be contests from several of the coun
ties, and altogether things promise to
continue very lively in matters of this
kind for some time to come.
Secretary Bristow is pushing the suits
against the several Pacific Railroad Com
panies for the collection of the five per
cent, tax due on the net earnings of each
road. The attorneys of the companies
are laboring with the Attorney General
to induce him to let up. Attorney Gen
eral Pi6rrepont is represented as saying
that be did not believe the government
would ever be reimbursed to the extent
of a single dollar for the interest it has
paid on their bonds, and which it must
continue to pay as long as they run un
der the recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court.
What Bristow Must Do to be Saved.
—A Washington special to the Baltimore
Gazette says : The counsel for General
Babcock are in Washington preparing
the argument and arranging the line of
testimony for his defense. It is under
stood that his trial will bear a compari
son to the trial of Beecher, when it was
supposed that Tilton was the indicted
man. In Babcock’s case the trial is to
be of Bristow. That is the programme,
and, should Babcock be acquitted, Mr.
Bristow will have to step down and out.
A large building for the manufacture of
malleable glass by the La Bastio process
has been commenced in France at a cost
of $635,000. The building is 163 yards
by 160 yards in depth. It has been as
sured that utensils, such as fry pans, etc.,
can be used on a hot range, and will re
sist the fire just as well as iron or any
other metal. Also, glass chimneys for
lamps and gas burners are made, and
will not break. In fact, there is no limit
to the variety of articles which can be
made of malleable glass.
The first act, it appears, of the new
Postmaster at Boston was to dismiss four
of the female clerks in the delivery de
partment. The Globe so far from sym
pathizing with the fair victims, applauds
the act, declaring that “if & prize were
offered for the champion set of impudent,
--brazen-faced, inefficient and generally
disagreeable young women, the female
delivery clerks at the Boston Post Office
duriDg the past few years would surely
take it.”
The Philadelphia Times, in terse and
telling phrase, alludes to the result of the
searching scrutiny ” which the Hon.
George E. Spencer last spring so vehe
mently invited. After a cool review of
the matter it concludes that there does
not appear to have been any crime at
which he hesitated to sustain by force
and violence what he had achieved by
fraud. He used his power and influence
and the money he controlled through his
position as Senator to debauch men in
office and cut, so that in his conduct he
was working evil continually. And now
he says that the investigation wasn’t fair!
He had better get Morton to send down
the right kind of a committee.
If the present Radical United States
Senator from Alabama is guilty of half
the crimes charged upon him by the
legislative investigating committee, all
honest men will agree that the command
er of the United States sloop of war
Somers hung the wrong Spencer.
The New York Times discourses at some
length of the sentimentalists who write
and talk a good deal at this season of the
year about the “progress” made by the
human race, the advance of civilization,
and other pleasing topics of the kind.
But in seeking for the signs of this won
derful progress it does not find them very
distinctly marked, and says that they are
most certainly not to be detected in the
events recorded in the newspapers of the
period. If the Times is looking for evi
dences of progress in morals, it has only
to cast its eyes across the river to Brook
lyn. In Washington City, South Caro
lina and Mississippi it will find striking,
if not very gratifying exemplifications of
what its party calls progress in govern
ment.
American Railroad Negotiations.—
Two important railroad negotiations
have just been concluded in Europe—
one of £1,300,000, in the form of consoli
dated mortgage bonds of the Pittsburg
and Connellsville Railroad, indorsed,
principal and interest, by the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company; the other,
£2,000,000 of the sterling general mort
gage bonds of the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railroad Company. The first, for
which the bids far exceeded the amount
offered, was promptly taken at 97; which
in American currency is equal to 109.61.
The latter was at a less rate, 92, equal to
1C8.96. The credit abroad of the Balti
more and Ohio Company in its guaran
tee, is thus shown to stand flatteringly
high.
Taxation of Church Property.—The
Committee on Ways and Means, at their
meeting on Friday to divide up the Presi
dent’s message for reference to the differ
ent standing committees, allotted that
portion recommending the taxation of
church property to the Judiciary Com
mittee. The committee were of the
opinion that Congress had the power to
tax church property in the District of
Columbia and in the Territories, but that
the taxation of church property in the
States could only be effected by the States
themselves or by a constitutional amende
ment.

the whisky frauds.
Philadelphia, January 7.—Internal Reve
nue Supervisor Luttou has received instruc
tions from Secretary Bristow to proceed to
Chicago to superintend the trials arising
from the seizure of distilleries, Ac., made
by him in that city in May last. The trials
commence on Tuesday next, and involve the
forfeiture of a large amount of property and
the trial of over thirty persons,
who have already been indictoa. The
indications are that most of these
parties will plead guilty and permit
the forfeiture of their property by default ;
but the Secretary direct* the Supervisor to
be prepared with evidence tor the prosecu
tion of each person iudicted, as no promise
or understanding has be* n or will be made,
looking to a compromise of any of the cas< s.
They are to be prosecuted vigorously. Tutton
will |i ave Monday tor Chicago, accompanied

The Treasury Department has knowledge
that several large liquor establishments in
this city have been dealing in crooked whis

they did it.

ment has discovered that intelligence of

plicated in the frauds upon the govern
ment, including many prominent State
aud Federal officials, has been sent from
Washington to the interested parties.
Nowhere in the country has the work of
swindling the government by the manu
facture of crooked whisky been carried
on more boldly than in New Orleans. In
deed, the operations of the ring in that
city have been of so highhanded a char
acter as to have formed the subject of
frequent comment in the newspapers of
the West and South. But it was gener
ally supposed that the whisky thieves in
Louisiana were under the special protec
tion of Brother -in-law Casey, and that
therefore they could not be disturbed,
however flagrant their frauds might be.

The House Committee on Appropriations
had a long Bessie n this afternoon on the
military academy appropriation bill, and
completed it for report to the House next
Monday. They reduced the pay of cadets
from about $500 to $450 per year, which will
dimmish the item for that* purpose some
$17,000. The pay of the professors is redaced
20 per oen*., and numerous small redactions
made iu other items. The total amount of
the bill is reduced about $80,000 from last
year of $320,000.
The pension appropriation bill is also fin
ished, and will be reported to the House by
Mr. Atkin-, of Tennessee, au ex-Confeder-

The report of the Committee on Privi
leges and Elections, made yesterday
by Senator Morton, has jn t teen
printed. Although the conclusions
have already b<en announced, the fol
lowing extracts may be of general interest
The committee did not understand
that they were called upou to
port upon any question of proprietary
or expediency in proceeding to an election
of a President pro tern, for the Senate on
the day named in the resolution, bnt to in
quire into the character and tenure of that
office. The language of the Constitution
designates the Speaker as an officer of the
House, and, as lie is chosen by the House,
lie sustained the same relation to that body
which the President pro tern, does to the
Senate. Thc-y did not think it necessary to
extend the argument and prove that the
President pro tem. is au officer of the
Senate. It appears that Mr. Jefferson’s prop
osition that the office of President pro tem.
of the Seuate is determined at a meeting of
the Seuate after the first recess is not only
not sustained by the usage of the Seuate,
but is overwhelmingly contradicted by it.
Four instances referred to as sustaining
Mr. Jefferson’s theorv Lave been reversed
by unbroken usage of the Senate from 1803
down to the pres-nt time. The committee
therefore assume the rule to be well estab
lished that the President pro tem of the
Senate chosen at the expiration of one ses
sion does not cease to be such with
the beginning of the next, but continues
until the Viee President appears and
takes the chair, or until the Preeidtnt
pro tem. shall himself fail to appear in the
Senate and take th° chair aud thus require
another to be elected, or until the term of
ffice as^Senator of the President pro tem.
shall have expired. The committee are of
the opinion that the death of the Vice Presi
dent does not have the effect in any wav to
change the tenure of office of the President
pro tem. It is true that uuder the act of
1792, the President pro lem. is, upon the
death of the Vice President, placed in the
line of immediate succession to the perform
ance of the duties of President in case of
the death, resignation or inability of that
officer ; but as yet the duties of the Presi
dent pro tem. are iu no wise changed. The
President pro tem. and otht r officers of the
Senate arc at all times under the control of
the Senate, and may be changed at pleasure.
Col. B. W. Frobel, of Georgia, Chairman

is to meet other members of the committee
soon to arrive and present to Congress the
action of the convention at Chicago, held
last December, and urge the construction of
the water lines recommeuded by the Senate
Committee oh Tr importation Routes. The
view of the convention was that expendi
tures of liberal appropriations along these
lines would not onlv result in the revival
ot commerce, bat relieve the present neces-
siiies of the people in sections of the coun
try where there is the most distress result
ing from financial embarrassment-.

Tilden.—The Augusta Chronicle and
Sentinel says: “If the correspondent has
been in nearly all the Southern States
during the past year, and after studying
the political situation carefully’ asserts
that the Southern people favor the nomi
nation of Mr. Tilden, he is either a liar
or a lunatic. The Southern people do
not favor the nomination of Mr. Tilden.”
What our Augusta cotemporary says is
not more emphatic than true.
While the position thus far of the men
arrested in the Chicago whisky ring is
not so prominent as those in St. Louis,
the value of the seizuros and the develop
ments which are yet to come are re
garded as of much greater importance.
The prominent local Republican poli
ticians of Chicago have been as yet the
meat conspicuous of the arrested parties;
but when the trials come on, or even
before the trials, revelations are promised
which will show the ramification of the
corruption fund of the whisky ring into
most unexpected quarters, including
United States officials, local and State
officiate, administration newspapers, Ac.
W. P. Kellogg, the carpet-bag Gover
nor of Louisiana, in his annual message,
claims great credit for the financial
policy of his administration. When he
was pitched into office by Federal
bayonets, the public debt, floating and
bonded, was forty-four millions of dol
1-irs. Of this one-half has been repu
diated, and now Kellogg boasts that by
the repudiation of twqpty-four millions
of dollars and a strict regard to economy
he has succeeded in reducing the debt
five million one hundred thousand dol
lars. It would be an interesting problem,
says the New York Sun, to figure out
how long it would take the State at this
rate to free itself entirely of its obliga
tions. Notwithstanding the remarkable
financial genins displayed by Kellogg,
and his zeal for economy as exemplified
in the figures he gives, the people of
Louisiana fail to exhibit any disposition
to accept him as a great reformer, which,
of course, is an evidence that they have
not yet been reconstructed enough.

HANDSOME FIGURES!
Up to July 1st, 1875,
Senator Boutwell has been interviewed
upon the Cuban question by the repre
sentative of a New l’ork paper. The
illustrious financier thinks it is imperil
nent in the administration to attempt
to interfere with Spain, and that if we
enter into a war with her our navy will
be swept from the seas in ninety days.
In a brief comment upon the result of
Bowen’s libel suit against the Brooklyn
Kaqle, by which that gentleman got a
thousand dollars for his character, the
St. Louis Globe-Democrat with refined
cruelty remarks that “this looks like a
return to war prices.”
