Tom Scott’s Texas Pacific Job.
Tom Scott s Texas Pacific subsidy
scheme which was going on so swim-
**ing\y» 8 ©ems all at once to have come to
a dead halt. The House Pacific Railroad
Committee, to which it was referred,
handed R over to a sub-committee for
consideration; the sub-committee consid*
ered it favorably, and so reported it to
the full committee. The full committee
received it with great cordiality,and held a
meeting to consider when it should be
favorably reported to the House. This
was more than a week ago, and it was
confidently predicted at that time that
the bill would be recommended for pas
sage. As the bill, under pretense of aid
ing the construction of a Southern rail
road to the Pacific, proposed to make the
country pay some $5,000,000 a year to
CoL Scott, much public interest was nat
urally excited by it. The committee
Beem to have awakened to this fact, and
now there is a bitch in the programme.
The reports from Washington said the
committee stood six to six, with one in
doubt? Another meeting was held, and still
there was no action taken. On Friday
the committee met again, and, after sol
emnly regarding the bill and the political
situation for some hours, agreed to meet
again. The next consultation is to take
place to-day. Evidently there is some
thing about this bill which makes it dan
gerous to handle. Why is it not favor
ably reported ? It is believed there is no
danger of its passing; but the Presiden
tial campaign is coming on, and a sum
mary of the chief features of this colos
sal job, with the favorable recommenda
tion of a Democratic committee attached
to it, would make a very effective cam*
paign document for the Radicals next
November. It is earnestly to be hoped
for the sake of consistency, honesty and
decency the Democratic committee of the
House will strangle this monstrous sub
sidy scheme in their committee room.
The Southern Life Insurance Company.
A card from Gens. Gordon and Col
quitt, in explanation of their connection
with die Southern Life Insurance Com
pany, and the causes of the present em
barrassment of that institution, will be
found on our first page. From their
frank and full statement of the whole
matter, it will be seen that they are m no
degree to blame for the misfortuue which
has befallen the company, and which has
resulted from causes entirely beyond
their control. It was proper that they
should explain to the public the nature
of the peculiar complications which have
forced the company into bankruptcy, but
even without it the high character of the
gentlemen themselves, so well known
and universally esteemed by the Southern
people, is a sufficient guarantee of their
integrity and good faith. The policy
holders have their assurance that every
effort will be made to protect their in
terests.
The New York Sun says it is extremely
doubtful whether the Rev. Air. Winslow,
who has been arrested in England under
the provisions of the extradition treaty,
for forgery committed in Boston, will
willingly consent to submit his case to a
pack of ravening wolves made up of jury
men who have failed to publicly declare
their belief in his innocence. Justice in
Boston, however, is proverbially indul
gent when wealthy or highly respectable
criminals are concerned, and possibly Air.
Winslow may effect an arrangement with
the Alassachusetts authorities to have the
whole matter referred to an Advisory
Council, composed of friendly clergymen
of his own denomination and of his own
selection. If this could be done, there is
no question that the effect upon the pub
lic mind would be powerful.
During Air. Bowen’s examination be
fore the Beecher white-wpsbing council
on Friday evening, his replies were fre
quently greeted with derisive murmurs
by the audience, both on the floor and in
the galleiies. After one of these hospitable
outbursts an old gentleman sitting near
the organ leaned over, and, addressing
the gentleman on the seat just below
him, said: “May I ask you, sir, if the
audience present is not chiefly composed
of the members of Air. Beecher’s congre
gation ?” “ Undoubtedly it is,” was the
answer. “ I suppose, then,” added the
j old gentleman, “that they wish strangers
j to understand that the manners of the
j church are on a par with the morals of
I the pastor.”
Alabama Democrats are not the only
lemies that beset that immaculate
lampion of the administration, Senator
pencer. A deputation of Alabama Re-
ablicans, headed by an ex-governor and
l ex-member of Congress, waited on
resident Grant a few days ago, to re-
onstrate against the Federal patronage
i that State being all placed in the con-
ol of one man—and that man Spencer,
hey declared that many of the Federal
Hcials in Alabama are “incompetent,
afit and corrupt, and their continuance
i office would bring disgrace upon the
arty.” This is very plain language to
)eto a President, face to face, about
is appointees; but it is probably as true
»it is strong.
The Congregational Church at Ando-
jr. Mass., has addressed a letter to the
lymouth Advisory Council, requesting
to make a full and complete investiga-
on of the Beecher case, by the appoint-
ent <4 a council to bo composed of a
jdy representing at least twelve and
at more than twenty churches. It is
iked that before this tribunal every one
ho knows anything about the scandal

ifuse, to forever thereafter hold their

Secretary Bristow to be Driven from
the Cabinet
For some time there have been rumors
of a rupture between the President and
Secretary Bristow, growing out of the too
rigorous prosecution of the whisky
frauds by the latter. Pains have been
taken by the administration organs to
deny the truth of these rumors, but after
much backing and filling, and downright
misrepresentation of facts, the truth is
now coming out, and it is now generally
agreed that both Secretary Bristow and
his assistant, Solicitor Wilson, hold their
present positions by a very uncertain
tenure. A Washington special to the
New York Pott (Independent Republi
can ), gives the following as the true status
of the case. The correspondent gives
his impressions, after careful inquiry,
in regard to the Cabinet situation. He
says:
“While stroDg pressure is exerted to
induce the President to demand Secre
tary Bristow’s resignation, nothing of a
personal character has passed between
them which would justify the Secretary
in offering his resignation upon the be
lief that the President desires him to
leave the Cabinet. The Secretary’s
friends feel confident that he will not
himself take the initiative by resigning.
While he is keenly sensitive to the strong
and persistent efforts which are making
to force him out, and of annoying reports
that his opponents are constantly carry
ing to the President, he also feels that
nothing short of a direct request
for his resignation would justify
him in leaving the Cabinet, since
he well understands that the main
purpose of a number of those most
prominent in the movement against him
is to cripple the prosecutions in the
Northwest. To abandon the contest
while those trials are unfinished would
subject him to a charge of abandoning
the field in the very heat of the battle in
a mtuner which his friends would find
it very difficult to defend. A new though
indirect movement against Mr. Bristow
has been taking shape for two weeks
past, and the signs are that it will culmi
nate during the present week. Its object
is to secure the removal of Solicitor Wil
son, who from the first has had charge
of all the investigations of and all the
trials connected with the whisky frauds.
All the correspondence has been con
ducted by him, and all the cases have
been directed by him, of course acting
for and under the Secretary. His
present removal would cripple the
Secretary in prosecuting the remaining
cases more than any other one thing that
could happen, and it is almost certain
that Mr. Wilson’s removal would lead to
the immediate resignation of the Secre
tary. It is certain that in some way
those acting against Mr. Bristow feel
confident that he cannot remain in the
Cabinet forjuiany days after the conclusion
of Gen. Babcock's trial, no matter how it
may terminate.”
The Washington correspondent of the
Journal of Commerce says the champions
of the President charge Secretary Bris
tow with having disregarded the policy
agreed upon by the Cabinet in the prose
cution of the whisky conspirators, and
with having “gone beyond the proper
limit of his duties as a Cabinet officer.”
This charge Mr. Bristow denies, and
asserts that whatever other treasury offi
cials may 'have done, he himself has
not departed from the course marked
out by the Cabinet. “ Whatever may
be the truth of the matter,”
says the correspondent, “ both sides
seem to agree as to the probability of
Air. Bristow’s early resignation. Indeed,
it is quite positively asserted that should
General Babcock escape conviction the
President will demand the resignation of
the Secretary within a week and that in
auy event Solicitor W ilson will be re
moved at an early day.”
The same correspondent says it is
thought the machinations of the White
House circle (Messrs. Conkling, Logan,
Chandler, Morton, and their followers,)
have had much to do with the present
disturbance; and it is asserted by some
that even Mr. Blaine is not hostile to the
movement, and is intriguing against Mr.
Bristow.
Diabolical Pleasantry.
The New York Commercial Advertiser
is responsible for the following fling at
the proposed pardon of the ex-President
of the Southern Confederacy :
“Lets see—Wasn’t it Jeff Davis who
wanted to be ‘let alone’ so badly, some
years ago ? It strikes us that now’s just
the time to accommodate him in that re
spect. ”
And yet, says the Alacon Telegraph,
this journal rings the changes upon the
‘ Centennial” and the new era of peace
and good will which is to dawn upon the
nation next 4th of July. Unless amnesty
is made universal, and bygones are by
gones, this reunion of the American
people will be the veriest farce that was
ever enacted in the presence of High
Heaven. The South must be allowed to
participate in the celebration as equals
and brothers, without one galling excep
tion, or passing allusion to former differ
ences, or self-respect should cause her
to ignore all connection with the Cen.
tenniaL
We are glad to learn that our friends
of the Telegraph have come to this sensi
ble conclusion. That is just what we have
been saying all along.
The Republican resumption act went
into effect in January, 1875. In a year
from that date its operations, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer, reduced the total
circulating medium forty-two millions of
dollars. This is shown by the books of
the Treasury. This was at the rate of
three millions and a half per month.
Who was benefited by this ? Those who
were out of debt and Lad money to lend.
It tightened the money market. It in
creased the rate of interest. It bore hard
upon the merchant and manufacturer and
all other borrowers of money. Thereby,
it told injuriously upon the industrial
classes whose support rests upon the suc
cess of commerce and manufacturers.
What a howl then* would have been if
there had been an expansion in twelve
months of forty-two millions of dollars ?
Yet that would have lightened our bur
dens. It would have eased things. It
would have made better times. Go on
with your contraction, gentlemen. Ex
perience is a dear school, but fools attend
it in large numbers. As teachers you are
educating a greenback generation.
Grant’s deposition in behalf of Babcock
was extensively published in the news
papers before it was brought to the
notice of the court that was trying Bab
cock. The time was when such a pro
ceeding would have been considered ex
tremely improper. It seems that it was
not enough to array the influence of the
President, a majority of the Cabinet,
several leading Radical ex-officials and a
whole phalanx of noted criminal lawyers
on the side of the defendant, but an
effort must be made through the press,
with the aid of President Grant’s deposi
tion, to create a pressure of public opin
ion upon the jury in favor of his acquit
tal. Babcock’s case must indeed be des
perate when such means are resorted to
by his friends to prevent his conviction.

THE INDIANA RADICALS.
Indianapolis, February 22.—In the In
diana State Republican Convention, after
the appointment of officers, etc., Mr.
Thompson, chairman on resolutions, read
the platform, of which the following is an
abstract:
First. After recounting the record of the
Republican party, declare they will remain
faithful to it.
Second. Denying the right of any State
to interfere in the execution of national
laws.
Third. Declaring that the United States
is a cation, and not a mere confedeiation of
States.
Fourth. Holding the National and State
Governments to be eutireiy independent of
each other, within their own proper sphere.
Fifth. Expressing a willingness to restore
entirely amicable relations between the peo
ple of the North and South who engaged in
the rebellion, and with that view are ready
to forgive and grant amnesty to those who
sincerely desire it, but not to those who are
still unrepentant, and at the same time de
claring that the war for the Union was right
and the rebellion wrong, and that it should
forever stand in history.
Sixth. Declaring that while they have no
wish to disfranchise any one who fought for
the Confederacy, it is a flagrant insult, when
the faithful Union soldiers, who risked tin ir
lives for the nation, and are honestly dis
charging the duties of their offices, are re
moved to make place for those who fought
agaiust their country, and it deserves the
rebuke and condemnation of the whole coun
try and everv loyal soldier.
Seventh. Declaring that, in conducting
the civil service, officers should be selected
because of their qualifications, integrity
and moral character, and the patronage of
the government should be so disposed in
the matter of faithfulness and economy that
it shafl not be brought in conflict with the
freedom of election.
Eighth. Declaring the equality ol all;
that equal justice should be done to all, and
especial privileges conferred on none.
Ninth. Insisting on perfect religious
freedom and freedom of conscience, oppos
ing the union of church and State, and de
claring that it is incompatible with true
American citizenship to pay allegiance to
anv foreign power, civil or ecclesiastical.
Tenth. Considering it to be the duty of
the government so to regulate its revenue
system as to give all needful encouragement
to our agricultural, mechanical, mining and
manufacturing enterprises, so that harmo
nious relations may be established between
labor and capital and just remuneration
served to both.
Eleventh. Expressing the opinion that
taxes should give the greatest possible ex
emption to necessities, and ho placed more
heavily upon the luxuries and wealth of the
country.
Twelfth. Believing it to bo the govern
ment’s duty in furnishing a currency to so
regulate it as to provide for its ultimate re
demption in gold and silver; that any at
tempt to hasten the period more rapidly
than can be brought about by the laws of
trade and commorce is inexpedient. There
fore, so much of the so-called resumption
act as fixes the time for resuming specie
payments should be repealed, and then the
currency should remain undisturbed, neith
er contracted nor expauded, go that the
financial troubles of the country will be
cured by the natural laws of trade ; and by
preserving that course of policy, which the
Representatives have constantly maintained
of looking to the ultimate resumption of
specie payment
Thirteenth. Declaring that the greenback
currency was created by the Republican
party as a war measure, and that the De
mocracy avowed the measure was unconsti
tutional, &ud that the notes would become
worthless, therefore, one of the objects of
the Democracy in uow seeking to obtain
control of the government must be to de
stroy the currency along with that furnished
the national banks, so that the country may
be compelled to return to the system which
existed under Bucban&o.
Fourteenth. Explaining that when the
Republicans came into power in 1861 the ex
penditures of the country were greater than
its receipts, commerce and trade wero de
ranged by mal-administration, and the
credit of the United States below par. Now,
notwithstanding the financial embarrass
ments and the gigantic war, the credit of
the nation is above par and its bonds sought
after in all the great money markets of the
world.
Fifteenth. Irrevocably opposing the pay
ment of auy part of the rebel debt, or for
the emancipated slaves, or for property of
the rebels destroyed in the war.
Sixteenth. Demanding the strictest econ
omy consistent with the public safety in
national and State affairs.
Seventeenth. Favoring and encouraging
schools, ami the means of education neces
sary for extending the principles of civil and
religious liberty ; regarding all opponents of
the common school system as assailing the
fundamental principles of free government;
demanding the faithful administration of
the school laws, so that the schools may be
come what they were designed to be—the
schools of the people.
Eighteenth and Nineteenth. Thanking
the soldiers and sailors of Indiana during
the rebellion ; declaring that the honor of
the nati >u is pledged to provide bounties
ami pensions tor them, and to take care
of the widows and orphans of those who
lost their lives.
Twentieth. Praising Grant’s administra
tion, and commends his example i f remov
ing his own appointees when found untaith-
ful aud causing them to be prosecuted that
none guilty can escape.
Twenty-first. Recommending Senator Mor
ton to the National Republican Convention
as the candidate of that body for President.
The convention made the lollowing nomi
nations: For Governor, Godlovo 8. Orth ;
Lieutenant Governor, Colonel Robert S.
Robertson : Secretary of State, Isaiah P.
Walts; Auditor, Wm. Hess; Treasurer, Geo.
T. Herriot; Attorney General, John W. Gor
don; Superintendent of Public Instruction,
O. H. Smith. The convention then ad
journed.
THE BEECH EB COUNCIL.
Bbooklyn, February 22.—The report of
the committee more immediately in charge
of the Beecher scandal sets forth that the
committee are satisfied that there seems to
bo an absolute necessity of reopening the
case, but inasmuch as there are so many
suspicious claims and ruinous allegations it
recommends that the council appoint a com
mittee of three to advise Plymouth Church
that it would be well to select a committee
of five from a list of eminent persons which
tbey submit, whose duty it shall be to hear
every scrap of evidence that can be collect
ed and adjudicate finally upon the case.
There is a division in the council on this
subject and it is said the fight will be a long
and bitter one. The report will be consid
ered in to-night’s session.
THE DAY IN CHABLE8T0N.
Chableston, S. C., February 22.—Wash
ington’s birthday was celebrated here by a
grand military display. The parade wm
commanded by Gen. Stephen D. Lee, an ex-
Confederate.and was headed by Battery F of
the 5tli U. S. Artillery. The Revolutionary
Entaw’s flag was borne in the line by a color-
guard consisting of visiting detachments
from the Old Guard of New York city and
the Clinch Rifles of Augusta, Ga.. under the
command of Lieut. Fuller, of the Old Guard.
A national Balute was fired by Battery F,
and an oration appropriate to the occasion
pronounced. The suspension of business
throughout the city was general, aud to
night several large military banquets are in
progress. •
ALABAMA FINANCES.
Montgomeby, February 22—A bill passed
both Houses of the Legislature ratifying
the settlement of the 8tate debt made by
the Commissioners. All direct State bonds,
except those in aid of railroads, are to be
taken up, aud new ones issned. Tbey are
to bear interest from July next, at two per
cent, for five years, three per cent,
for five years, four per cent,
for ten years, and five per cent,
ten years. All past due interest coupons are
to be given up and cancelled. The bond
holders of the Alabama and Chat
tanooga Railroad surrender the
bonds issued by the State in aid
of the road and those endorsed by the State
and take the road and franchises aDd land,
and receive in addition one million of
bonds, to bear interest as the other new
bonds. The remaining railroad bond mat
ters are yet unadjusted. This settlement
will bring the entire indebtedness of the
Slate inside of ten millions at a low rate of
interest.
THE FRENCH CABINET CRISIS.
pABib, February 22.—It is stated that
President McMahon has called on M. Du-
faure to take charge of the Ministery of the
Interior until a meeting of the Chambers.
M. Buffet resigned on the ground that he
was no longer possessed of sufficient authori
ty to conduct the administration. It is said
M. Dufaure advised the President to main
tain the Cabinet as now constituted till the
Chambers meet, instead of forming an ad
interim Ministry. The question
of entrusting M. Dufaure with
the formation of a new Ministry, however,
has been under consideration.' Should M.
Dufaure accept the task, it is thought that
Say, Cailloux, Aissy and Decazes will retain
their portfolios, and Perier, Renault or
Waddington will take the Ministry of the
Interior. All of the above belong to the
Left Centro or moderate Left. M. Desjar-
don, Under Secretary of State, and M. Leo,
Director of the Press, have resigned.
THE FRENCH ELECTIONS.
Paris, February 22.—Jules Ferry is elect
ed in the Vosges. It is believed a second
election will be necessary in Ajacio, neither
Prince Napoleon nor M. ltouher having an
absolute majority. M. Buffet polled at
Miercourt 6,958 votes, to 8,566 for nis oppo
nent, aud at Castel Sarrasin he received
8,974, and his opponent 9,654 votes. The
formation of a now Cabinet by M. Dufaure
is inevitable.
THE EASTERN QUESTION.
London, February 22.—A Berlin dispatch
to the 'limes says the great powers are en
deavoring to induce Servia and Montene
gro to prevent their subjects from joining
the insurgents.
Some surprise was manifested when it
was learned just before the opening of
Babcock’s case, that a lawyer by the name
of Roger Sherman had been sent to St.
Louis by District Attorney Bliss, of New
York, to hunt up whisky frauds. This
extraordinary vigilance on the part of
Attorney General Pierrepont is explained
by the St. Louis Republican thus: “The
oonduct of the spy, Sherman, who came
here from New York, is intelligible
enough now. He came as an agent of
the Judiciary Department, ostensibly on
New York whisky business; but his real
business was to make District Attorney
Dyer’s office a working point in Babcock’s
interest. It was by pretending to be on
the side of the government that he ex
tracted from Bingham certain letters
which he gave to the defense, and which
the defense affect to attach much im
portance to. Sherman is a Babcock spy,
and as he came here with a letter of au
thority from Attorney General Pierre
pont, the appearances entitle the latter
to a full share in the disreputable busi-
Anotheb Letter of Gen. Lee.—The
March Galaxy is chiefly interesting to
Southern readers by reason of Gen. Cus
ter’s -“War Memoirs,” in the course of
the first paper of which a statement con
tained in a private letter of Gen. R. E.
Lee is furnished. That statement seems
to accord to Gen. Sherman the credit of
the capture of Richmond, and the fall of
the Confederate cause at Appomattox.
Tha extract from Lee’s letter is as fol
lows :
“As regards the movements of General
Sherman, it was easy to see that unless
they were interrupted I should be com
pelled to abandon tho defense of Rich
mond ; and with a view of arresting his
progress I so weakened my force by send
ing reinforcements to North and South
Carolina that I bad not sufficient men to
man the lines. Had they not been broken
I should have abandoned them as soon as
Gen. Sherman reached the Roanoke.”
The letter is dated July 27, 1868, and
was addressed to a friend at Warm
Springs, Va. It, perhaps, throws no new
light on the history of tho Confederacy’s
fall, but is interesting, nevertheless, as
the expression of the great Confederate
soldier.
The editorial columns of Harper's
Weekly are never witty and not often
wise, but they are frequently amusing.
Last week, for example, in the course of
a solemn article intended to show that
the only newspaper in the United States
which really represents “public opinion”
is Jlarper's Weekly, we are told that “it
might be supposed, if there were no other
source of knowledge than the papers,
that ‘the bloody shirt’ was both an obso
lete and a wicked delusion.” But, hap
pily, says the New York World, there are
other “sources of knowledge;” and so we
have that eminent, truly loyal and pious
fugitive forger, Winslow, of Boston, on
his arrest in London, waving the “bloody
shirt" instantly in the air, and requesting
the Herald reporter to adjure “Massa
chusetts to remember his services in the
army and navy!” Well, why not? Is
forging commercial paper, after all, so
much worse than forging State govern
ments and Senatorships of the United
States ? Why should Winslow pine while
Ames and Kellogg prosper ?
The Washington Chronicle's tender so
licitude for Gen. Babcock prompts it to
ask this foolish question :
“Even if the jurymen, or a portion of
them, should be iu sympathy politically
with the Republican party and their
principles, is there any guarantee that
they can so far force themselves from the
terror of intimidation and fears of future
revenge and punishment as to render a
verdict in accordance with the facts and
their convictions.”
Does Grant’s alcoholic organ mean to
insinuate that those who are “in sympa
thy politically with the Republican party
and their principles,” are also in sympa
thy with conspirators and thieves ? Such
is a fair inference from its paragraph. If
there are any such sympathisers in Bab
cock’s jury, they need not after the as
surances they have had of the sympathy
of the President and the protection of
tho strong arm of the government, feel
any “terror or intimidation and fear of
future revenge and punishment.”
The Springfield Republican, one of the
fairest and most impartial journals pub
lished, hits the nail on the head in
thus referring to the Babcock case:
“The evidence against him is largely jury
evidence. It is not evidence to hang a
man on. But, such as it is, it is stronger
than that on which McKee was convicted,
and it is a good deal too strong to be suc
cessfully met by mere negative testimony
to previous good reputation. Bnt a disa
greement of the St. Louis jury—perhaps
the most likely result of the trial, as it
now sdfcids—will not be a verdict of ac
quittal before the American people. And
without that verdict Babcock is a ruined
and disgraced man.”
New York had a rumor a conple of
mornings since that Tweed had returned
to the city, and would appear as a wit
ness in his own behalf in the present
suit against him; but neither his son,
counsel or the sheriff knows—or will ad
mit knowing—anything about it, and it
seems improbable. At the same time, it
is the impression of a great many peo
ple that the Boss isn’t a great way from
New York, and hasn’t been since his es
cape.
Ex-Attorney General Williams, in his
opening speech in behalf of Babcock,
designated Joyce as a “desperate villain,”
and the author of a damnable trick, in
tended to convince the distillers that
Babcock and Avery were in full agree
ment with them. Joyce now says that if
Attorney Dyer will not oppose his appli
cation for release on habeas corpus, he
will hand over a batch of telegrams from
Babcock that will astonish his counsel,
and cause them to wish they had never
undertaken the defense of the President's
pet. Mr. Williams would do well to be a
little more conciliatory in his remarks.
It is estimated that the proposed Mor
rison lariff bill would reduce the revenue
on cotton goods $1,987,746; on metals,
$1,746,794; on silk goods, $3,773,109;
on woollens, $5,133,988; on sundries,
$338,284, and on the free list, $5,000,000;
total, $16,000,000 and over. The tea
and coffee tax would yield about $19,-
000,000; so that there would be a gain of
$3,000,000, leaving out of account the
gain that would come from the increased
importation of other article?.
