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 xall be invited to testify, or, if they ifuse, to forever thereafter hold their Jf'ree Vrem says : “It nosy to the public to state that Ired aDd fifty-eight soldiers barged during the war on ing their voices, exactly six fty-eight of them regained thin forty days after their some of them within forty ie Babcock trial is over, what the result may be, •retary Bristow and Dis- Dyer quit the service, t, Mr. Fierrepont, Sher- nd Postman Magill have d : “Let no vigilant offi- World- ily set of people there ouia. Not content with ■avenues, they have actu- stolen the overcoats of s and Porter, three of rs. was lately refused sc an Indianapolis hotel, on sitting on what’e left rowling for the suffrages 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. BY TELEGRAP THE MOUSING NEWS. NOTES FROM ATLANTA.

Midnight Telegrams. THE INDIANA RADICALS. Synopsis of their Long-Winded Pint- Form. MacMAHON AND HIS MINISTRY. 1IEECHEII AND HIS ADVISORY COI N CIL. The Finance* of Alabama. 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?. <Sift tfonrfrt.
