Morton
and Grant’s Bloody Shiit
Programme.
Morton encounters opposition to his
^j;ly shin' 1 programme from the more
jjj^ative ltepublican Senators, some
this mo™ disposod to think his Missis-
ehaup Jtrtl 8 e ” resolution has “an ar-
alm ' lhl fi5b " !ike smeU ’” tlj at hasbe-
offensive to the delicate nostrils of
better class of their own party
X {throughout the country. But, if Morton
r i\ lot with his host in the Senate, he has
I a strong hacker in Grant. The well in-
1 formed and reliable correspondent of tin
New York Journal- of Commerce says :
“There can be no doubt that Senator
> Morton is acting in this matter in accord,
ance with the wishes of the White House.
It is known that the President some time
ago sent personal agents into Mississippi
to make a so-called investigation of the
intimidation and outrages prac
ticed at the late election. These agents
have reported in person to the President
the results of their Southern expedition :
and the Morton movement in the Senate
is a part of the Presidential programme
in the attempt to revive the ‘war' is-
aues. But it bids fair to be an up-hip
movement. It already encounters the
active opposition of the Independent lie-
publicans of the Senate as well as the
bitter hostility of the anti-Ames Itepub-
licans of Mississippi. The llepublicau
caucus of the Senate finds itself shorn of
its old-time strength, and is no longer
able to dictate imperiously the action of
both Houses of Congress. ”

The Washington Telegram, a few days
ago, published a list of fifty-one subjects
which demanded Congressional investi
gation. The catalogue included the
whisky ring, the District of Columbia
government, the safe burglary, the Credit
Mobilier, the Pacific Mail subsidy, the
Babcock business, and many other malo
dorous scandals that have grown up,
fungus-like, around the President. These
claims of inquiry and exposure, says the
Kichmond Enquirer, should not be post
poned, and they ought to be committed
to the ablest heads of the present House.
There is no reason why honest Eepubli
cans should not be given full representa
tion on the committee, for tho object in
view is the eliciting of truth, without
party color or prejudice. Investigate !
expose ! retrench ! cries the New York
Tribune. The call is a good one. and
the advice it conveys should be heard
and well heeded.
Joseph Smith, son of the Mormon
prophet, and President of the organiza
tion called the True Latter-Day Saints,
says the new institution comprises about
fifteen thousand members, scattered
throughout the United States, Europe,
and the Sandwich Islands. They adhere
to the “original faith,” denounce polyg
amy and reject Brigham Young’s claim
to the leadership. In Mr. Smith’s estima
tion polygamy will never be abandoned
by the Mormons. It must either be
crushed out by superior power or sapped
by overpowering public opinion. Polyg
amy exists to-day by failure of the
people of the United States to enforce
their own moral enactments.
Moses in Egypt.—A recent London
Punch contains one of John Tenniel’s
cleverest cartoons, entitled Maze in Egit-
to. It presents Mr. Disraeli standing in
the sandy waste, looking over his left
shoulder at the sphinx. His Hebrew type
of face is caricatured into a cunning that is
exceedingly droll: and his forefinger taps
his nose with such significance that it sug
gests strongly that the eye next to the
sphinx is winking. Tho sphinx has re
laxed for a moment her vast stony stare,
and winks responsive; and Moses and
Egypt evidently understand each other.
Disraoli holds in his hand a large key,
whose inscription shows it to be the key
to the passage to India—the Suez canal.
How l lie Spaniards Take It—Inter
TonUon Means War.
The view with which intelligent Span
iards regard the proposition in the Presi
dent's message respecfcingSpain and Cuba
is clearly expressed by the Voz de Cuba,
the most important journal, perhaps, of
Havana. We quote from the columns of
that paper:
“Can such intervention be in favor of
Spain ? Spain neither accepts nor needs
it. All the intervention that Spam asks
from the United States is that, fulfilling
their sacred international obligations,
they should not permit the rebels to be
aided from their shores, as has hitherto
been done. Let them treat us as we did
them during their war with the Confed
erate States, notwithstanding that the
latter formed a genuine political body,
powerful and perfectly organized, with
which the insurgents cannot hold the
most remote comparison. Spain nei'.her
asks nor admits, nor consents to any
other species of intervention, nor con
sents that any foreign authority should
impose terms or conditions of any sort in
matters that are exclusively her own.
“But that no doubt should remain re
specting the sort of intervention which
Mr. Grant proposes to employ, we are
told that it is the same which the police
exercises when it separates by force two
persons who are fighting—that is to say,
what is proposed to be done in this island
under the pretext of intervention is an
act of force and of war.”
This the New York Sun regards as a
perfectly* correct view of the subject.
Intervention, says the Sun, is war: and
unless President Grant backs out from the
policy which he so long considered and
matured, and which is finally announced
in his message, war’with Spain is pretty
certain.
It should not be forgotten, however,
that in foreshadowing this same policy in
the official instructions given to Mr.
Cushing, when he was sent as Minister
to Spain a year ago, any idea of adding
Cuba to the United States was fully and
vigorously repudiated.
Iu these, instructions the President
spoke of “independence and emancipa
tion as the unique and necessary solution
of the Cuban question.” The President
does not now declare himself in favor of
the annexation of Cuba ; but, whether fo r
the purpose of annexation or for the sep
arate independence of Cuba, the interven
tion of the United States in that island
means war and nothing else. Of course,
such a war will be intended, first of all,
to form, with the Anti-Catholic move
ment at home and the annexation of
northwestern Mexico, an essential part of
the third term platform.
It is hardly probable that the Demo
cratic House of Representatives will
rush into a war with Spain merely to
augment the present almost insupport
able national debt and to furnish Gen.
Grant a third term platform to suit his
taste. Our Southern Representatives
will hesitate before they will lend their
influence to favor a war in which the
Southern people would receive their full
share of the damage without realizing
any of the advantages. Our foreign
commerce would be obstructed, our ports
blockaded, and perhaps our coasts would
be ravaged, while the commissaries, quar
termasters and army contractors would
all come from the loyal North. The
country has yet no quarrel with Spain,
and we don’t want to go to war merely
to make Grant Lord Protector, and to
curse the island of Cuba with a swarm of
cormorant carpet-baggers.
Viewed in connection with the Presi
dent’s message and the exciting rumors
from Washington and abroad, the con
centration of ship3 of war at Port Royal,
which our Washington dispatch this
morning, speaking for the Secretary of
the Navy, is at so much pains to explain,
is significant.
Touching the Right Key.
We do not know where we have seen
more sensible and timely advice than
the following from the Baltimore Ga
zette:
It is idle to talk about a revival of bu
siness and a return to specie payments
while we are spending the enormous
amount of money we are now spending
for the mere purpose of government.
While every sound business man and
merchant is endeavoring to cut down his
expenses, the gentlemen who are con
ducting the government at Washington
are increasing their outlays aDd endea
voring to bind the people by raising
false issues—sectarianism, foreign wars,
schools—in order that they may continue
their career of plunder. The policy for
the Democratic party from the very first
day of the session is to go straight ahead
and cut remorselessly upon the right
hand and the left. Let Gen. Grant en
deavor to set church against church, Mr.
Morton waive his blood-stained banner,
the work for the Democratic party to do
is to save the people’s money. Cut down
the appropriations remorselessly, but ju
diciously, and send them to the Senate
and to the President. This is the work
the couutry expects to see done, and
done quickly. Let Mr. Randall go
ahead.”
We see that this spirit is animating
Mr. Randall and the Appropriations Com
mittee. The Baltimore Sun describes
the visit of the sub-Committee on Appro
priations to the State Department. The
old codgers who sit under the shadow of
the grave and respectable Secretary Fish
were surprised when they were asked to
furnish a list of expenditures in each
diplomatic post. They tried the
dodge of putting the committee
off as they had always put off Re
publican committees, by a loose general
statement, but this did not suit this com
mittee, who are bent on reform and econ
omy. The Sun's correspondent mentions
as an instance of the irresponsibility with
wh ch the moneys of the government
have been used, that at the time the
United States Commissioners to Geneva
were about to start on their important
mission, some ten thousand dollars of the
public money was distributed equally
amongst them. When their accounts came
in, they having been approved by the Sec
retary of State, they were forwarded to
the Treasury to go through the regular
course of examination there. Here they
were not so successful. Information was
desired as to the expenditure of ten thou
sand dollars not regularly accounted for.
After considerable correspondence it was
learned that this, in plain English, was
“pocket money.” The Treasury officials
were not in the habit of passing expendi
tures under such indefinite heads, and
failing to obtain satisfactory evidence of
legitimate expenditures, charged the same
to the compensation of the Commission
ers.
The committee find that the estimates
reach $51,352,985 for the next fiscal year.
Among the items is one of >*100,000 for
contingent expenses of all the missions
abroad. The members of the committee
are mostly of tho opinion that this lurge
sum covers a multitude of abuses, and
m their investigations will make a special
inquiry into the uses to which this fund
has been applied.

Me. Gladstone's Alleged Nepotism.
Mr. Gladstone has addressed a letter to
the editor of Reynold's Newspaper, in
which he warmly defends himself from
the charge of nepotism which had been
brought against him by a portion of the
English press. He produces proof to
show that such a charge is utterly with
out foundation, and declares that his rela
tions have no special cause to thank him
for any advice given by him to the fiover-
eignin the matter of patronage. Mr. Glad
stone’s sensitiveness on this point is
worthy the thoughtful consideration of
many persons in high places in this
country.
The Ohio House of Delegates has gone
bravely to work on buncombe. By a
strict party vote that body recently passed
a resolution condemning the Democratic
House of Representates at Washington
for “dismissing Union soldiers to give
place to ex-Confederates,” and commend,
ing President Grant for his declaration
that he would find places for all such dis-
charged men. As the Republicans them
selves used to charge that the Republican
Congress gave precious few offices to any
Union soldiers, this sounds very funny
just now. Scarcely a baker's dozen of
real Union soldiers have been turned out
by the present House, and of the new
appointees several are Union soldiers.
PENNSYLVANIA Finances.—The annual
report ot the Auditor General of Penn-
sylvania on the finances of that State for
the year ending November 30, 137.'.,
shows the receipts to have been $6,480,-
009 02 ; in the treasury at the beginning
of the fiscal year. $1,054,651 65 ; total.
<57 534 650 67. The total disbursements
for the’year were $6,541,443 40; leaving
a balance in the treasury December 1 of

total’funded debt of the State is $23,-
108 6‘’1 58 ; unfunded debt $123,516 14 ;
total debt’ $23.233,137 76, showing a

The Centennial Appropriation.
The select committee of the House of
Representatives having reported unani
mously in favor of appropriating a million
and a half of the people’s money to the
Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition, it is
expected that the House will to-day pass
the bill authorizing the appropriation.
By a proviso in the bill the “nation”—for
such they call us now—becomes a stock
holder in the Philadelphia enterprise, and
after tho show is over is to be paid back
its pro rata share of the profits.
The proviso gives a sort of business
character to the transaction, but for all
the security it affords that a dollar of the
money will ever find its way back into
the Treasury it might just as well have
been omitted. After the “divide,” which
is the order of the day now, if the
amount serves to put the big show fairly
on its legs, and Congress is not called on
for another million or two to
save the honor of the “nation,” the tax
payers of the couutry may be thankful.
After this appropriation of the money
of the people to the show business, we
shall not be surprised to hear of Barnum,
tho great American showman, knocking
at the door of Congress for an appropri
ation to enable him to reopen his great
spread-eagle hippodrome. B irnum could
take the “nation" in as a stockholder
and divide the profits. Barnum is an
honest man, who makes no false pre
tences. He would never have asked
the “nation” only to stand godfather to
his show, pledging himself not to ask a
dollar towards defraying expenses, and
then go back on Congress for a million
and a half, in utter violation of his
pledge. Barnum is just now in straight
ened circumstances. He has done much
to elevate the dignity of the American
show business, and he has just as good a
right to an appropriation from the
national treasury, as these tricky Com
missioners of the great Philadelphia Cen
tennial Exhibition.
Beecher’s Mistake.—If, says the Bos
ton Post, a nol pros, is to be entered in
every case of alleged perjury in regard to
the Beecher scandal trial, as now seems
probable after the withdrawal of the in
dictment against Loader and Price, as
those against more prominent parties
have hitherto been withdrawn, the policy
needs explanation. Mr. Beecher cannot
afford to do this. If the parties really
did perjure themselves, and he intends
this for generosity and magnanimity, it
is exerted at a very inopportune time.
Had he never said anything about prose
cutions for perjury in the first place,
there might have been some comment
unfavorable to such seeming moderation,
but in public opinion he would have
escaped comparatively free. Now press
and people will see but one meaning in
this action, and they will be justified in
accepting it, at least as an acknowledg
ment of the great defendant’s inability to
establish his counter charges, if it is not
a confession of guilt. Even Mr. Beecher’s
well known eccentricities will hardly al
low a different construction. He has
made a great’mistake either in withdraw
ing now or beginning in the first place,
one cannot tell which. As the matter
stands, those who desire to believe in
his innocence are more troubled than
ever, and know not how to explain the
situation.

How the Aspiring Blaine Played His
lard.
How the famous Foster-Blaine letter
came to be published is a conundrum
which has sorely taxed the brains of sev
eral loyal editors down East, and now an
Augusta correspondent of the New York
Sun comes to their relief with some
highly important information regarding
the interesting document. There is said
to be little doubt, among those who are
familiar with Blaine’s policy and plans
in his shrewd game for the Pres
idency, that he himself was instru
mental in causing the publication of the
letter. The letter, in the handwriting of
the New Jersey editor, reached Hon.
E. F. Pillsbury, the Democratic editor in
whose paper the letter first appeared,
through the Post Office, two or three
days after Blaine’s departure from Augus
ta for Washington. The letter was sent
annoymously, and was unaccompanied by
any word or comment. The address
was so faint as to be almost illegible,
but there was no difficulty in iden
tifying the postmark as that of the Augus
ta office. The letter had therefore reached
Augusta before it was transmitted to Mr.
Pillsbury, and, according to the Sun
correspondent, had been read by Mr.
Blaine, who was shrewd enough to con
vey the letter to Mr. Pillsbury in such a
manner as to get the benefit of an
enemy’s eagerness to make public what
that enemy would, at first sight, regard
as a damaging document. The letter
was therefore given to the public m the
Maine Standard, and the effect that it
might have upon Blaine’s prospects was
quite a secondary consideration. The
sensation made by the publication, and
the subsequent self-contradictions and re
tractions of Foster and the persistent
silence of Blaine are well known. The
document was not stolen by Pillsbury or
by any agent of Pillsbury. The Standard
did not publish it, indeed, so much for
the purpose of injuring Blaine as to re
veal the existence of a dark-lantern or
ganization which seemed to threaten the
public good. The conclusions deduced
from all these facts are that Blaine him
self sent the letter anonymously to the
Democratic editor in order to bring him
self forward as a Republican candidate
for the Presidency. In the meanwhile
Blaine has enjoyed the fruits of his move
and has refused to say any more in re
lation to the publication of the letter than
that it was “none of bis funeral.”
FRENCH POLITICS.
Paris, January 9.—An active canvass is
being made lor Prince Napoleon in Corsica,
where a coalition exists against the election
of M. liouher. M. Ollivier has issned an
address to the electors of the Department
of Var. He favors the alliance of democ
racy and liberty by the hand of
troug national power. Referring to the
pasj, he says the Emperor did not desire to
enter into a conflict with Prussia. He did
all in his power to preserve peace. If the
intrigues of the irreconcilables had not
thwarted his plans and revealed his move
ments to the enemy; if the Emperor had
not been betrayed, and if the resources of
the country had not been disorganized and
surrendered by the revolutionists, the army
of the Rhine would have been victoriou-*.
Paris, January 9.—The Constitution
newspaper is authorized to deny that Minis

THE FRONTIER TROUBLES.
Washington, January 9.—There is much
speculation regarding the Texas Commis
sion. Under ordinary circumstances Mr.
Schleicher, who offered the resolution
creating the Commission, would be chair
man, but in cases where an investigation
pertains to a particular State, tl e usage, as
in the case of Louisiana, is different. Mr.
Sailor, of Ohio, will probably be the chair
man. The committee will be announced
to-morrow. The work will probably be
more a tour of observation than of taking
special testimony. Its departure will be
timed so as to meet the President of
Mexico, who is reported to be on his wav to
the frontier.
THE TURKISH TROUBLES.
Odessa, January 9.—A train filled with
military recruits ran of the track yesterday,
and plunged down an embankment. The
wrecked car caught fire before all the men
could be extricated, and many were burned
to death. The total number of killed was
sixty-eigiit, and fifty-four were injured,
several fatally.
London, January 9.—Late advices from
Khadgent say it is estimated that 25,000
insurgent Turcomans are assembled iu the
neighborhood of Andijan, which is expected
to b« the chief theatre of war. Andijan has
been fortified, and is capable of offering
strenuous resistance.

President Grant has reconstructed his
Des Moines speech in a letter to Prof.
Parker, of the Ohio State University, in
reply to a request for an interpetration of
the speech, which seems to have been
incomprehensible to the professor. The
latter evidently is somewhat unacquainted
with politics and the emergencies of the
Republican party, or he would not have
asked for the interpretation. The Presi
dent says his idea in the speech was thi:
“Resolve that the State or nation, c
both combined, shall furnish to every
child growing up in the land the means
of acquiring a good common school edu
cation.” He “feels no hostility to free
education going as high as the State or
National Government feels able to pro
vide—protecting, however, every child in
the privilege of a common school educa
tion before public means are appropriated
to a higher education of the few.” Thes©
ideas are so remarkably dissimilar to those
expressed in the Des Moines speech as to
induce the belief that “something has
dropped” in or around the White House.
The British Centennial Commission,
desiring to furnish their centennial resi
dence building with British furniture,
requested permission to import it in bond
for use, and re-exportation when tho
Centennial Exhibition closes. The Sec
retary of the Treasury decides that he
has no authority in law to grant the re
quest. This denial may not involve the
honor of the “nation,” but it looks a lit
tle fastidious in the face of the appro
priation of a million and a half to the Cen
tennial Commissioners by Congress. The
Secretary may have no law’ for the ex
emption asked. Neither has Congress
any constitutional authority for appro
priating a million and a half of the peo
ple’s money to such a purpose,
Some of the most valuable sea island
cotton lands near Beaufort, South Caro

cause their owners are unable to pay the

this land could be bought at any price ;
now it will be difficult to find a purchaser
except at a ruinously low figure. Why ?
Simply because South Carolina taxation
practically amounts to confiscation, and
nobody without a mint of money can
stand it. Another example of the beau

The foreign holders of Virginia bonds,
the Richmond Whig announces, have
deputed General Richard Taylor, the son
of President Zachary Taylor, to propose
new terms for a compromise of the for
eign debt of the State, which amounts to
$10,000,000. The scheme, it is sail
templates a new issue of bonds, ex land
ing the time of payment, and allowing a
considerable reduction of interei for
some years, and of one per centur . r
manently.
A new obstacle has turned up for the
centennial commissioners to overcome.
The commissioners, just as they are be
seeching Congress to grant an appropria
tion of 82,000,000 toward the centennial,
have been confronted by the bitter oppo
sition of the temperance people, who dis
cover that a large portion of the grounds
at FairmountPark had been let to parties
for the purpose of selling whisky and
beer. The total abstinence advocates
will favor no Congressional appropriation
W’li:ch will go toward sustaining the liquor
traffic, and they are preparing memorials
to send to Congress, remonstrating against
an appropriation. The advocates of the
sanctity of the Sabbath are also prepar
ing a protest against the opening of the
exhibition on Sunday, as is proposed.
Retrenchment.—The members of Con
gress who have been investigating the
subject of government expenditures with
a view to retrenchment are of the opinion
that the estimates for the ensuing year
can be cut down forty-three million dol
lars. This includes a reduction of eight
million dollars in the army appropriation,
and about the same in the navy budget.
The remainder of the reduction will be
made up of the small slices from all the
estimates, except that for the State De
partment, which will not be interfered
with.
The Omaha Herald is surprised that
Babcock, on a salary of $4,000 a year,
should have been able to accumulate a
handsome fortune. The Herald forgets
that the $4,000 a year was only the army

ments of Washington ring measurer,
partner of Boss Shepherd, and White
House advocate for the St. Louis and
Chicago rings.
Bowen has changed his mind and with

Everybody should be careful to give
prompt attention and rational treatment to
a severe cold, or a racking coagli, as these
are commonly the chief primary symptoms
of a disordered state of the lungs,involving a
tendency to develop into a settled consump
tion. Persons of a delicate constitution, or
those having weak or unsound lungs, should
be especially solicitous to treat the earliest
symptoms of a cold, in order to head off
more dangerous complications; prudently
keep by you, therefore, Dr. Jayne’s Expec
torant, that you may administer at once a
judicious curative during the first stages of
any throat or lung disorder, for not only
are special symptoms of these comDlaints
more tractable and easily controlled then,
a general strength and tone of the
ays’ has not had time to be seriously
. 4 r 1, and is therefore more amenable to
the recuperative and healing properties of
ta. ’xpectorant. A little attention to what
l< eem a trilling cold, may gave you from
i V Y.te of a lingering consumptive.
