TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 29,1876.
The Young Christians of Washington
and the Freedman’s Bank.
A writer in a New York paper proposes
that the Young Men’s Christian Associa
tions throughout the country should
unite in paying the debt of $.‘i3,000 due
from the Young Men’s Christian Associa
tion of Washington to the swindled
negroes who were induced to deposit
their little earnings in the Freedman's
Savings Bank. The correspondent truly
says that this debt, if unpaid, will be a
loss to the poor freedmen, and adds:
“Thirty-three thousand dollars of those
funds was obtained by the association,
upon what security does not appear, only
the fact is known to the writer that it is
not paid and is in the law.’' For his
information, and that of others interested
in this matter, the Sun states that for
this loan of $33,000 in April, 1871, a
promissary note was given, payable
two years after date, with seven
per cent, interest, secured by a
deed on the building and lot
known as the Young Men’s Christian
Association building. This note is un
paid, and an attempt is making to evade
the forfeiture of the security on the pre
tence that there was some informality
about the execution of the deed which
renders it invalid. It would, remarks
the Sun, be a good thing for the freed
men if the Young Men’s Christian Asso
ciation in other cities should restore to
the Freedman’s Bank the large sum of
money obtained under such suspicious
circumstances; but if it is done, there
should be an agreement that the Wash
ington branch of the association shall be
suppressed. For years it has been
managed in the interest of the ring
thieves in the District of Columbia;
many of its most prominent members are
men notorious for their dishonesty, and
the mere existence of the association
under its present style and management
is a reproach to the Christian religion.
The members of associations in other
cities should make restitution of the
money filched from the freedmen, and
then let the Washington association be
merged in Boss Shepherd’s other ring
club.
On our first page we print a letter
from Mr. Charles Nordhoff to the New
York Jlerald, in which he relates the
manner in which Mr. Attorney General
Pierrepont’s warning to the whisky ring
criminals was published. Mr. Nordhofi
thoroughly establishes the fact that this
letter, which, as the Attorney General
says, was made public only by a “gross
impropriety,” could have been made
public only by himself or by his official
chief, or by his confidential clerk. Its
only possible effect was to help the whisky
ring, and to prevent any of its tools from
testifying against Gen. Babcock; and
the use made of it was to put it directly
into the hands of one of Gen. Babcock’s
lawyers, who promptly published it.
There can be very little doubt that
President Grant, who dictated the letter,
also procured its publication, as without
such publicity it would not have had the
effect on Babcock’s trial for which it was
designed.
In his letter which we published yes
terday, Gen. Beauregard has fallen into
an error which justice to a gallant soldier
and worthy citizen of Savannah requires
that we should correct. Alluding tc the
capture of Fort McAllister, Gen. Beaure
gard speaks of Col. E. C. Anderson as
the commander of the fort. This is a
mistake. Maj. George W. Anderson, of
this city, a nephew of Col. E. C. Ander
son, was in command of Fort McAllister
at the time of its capture, and with the
garrison, received the compliment of
a vote of thanks from the Confederate
Congress for the gallant defense of the
fort against the assault of an entire
division of the Federal army. It is to
Major Anderson’s report of the treat
ment of Confederate prisoners thit Gen.
Beauregard refers in his letter.
The District of Columbia seems to be
about the only place where the applica
tion of women for admission to the bar
meets with favorable consideration. The
Supreme Court of Wisconsin has just re
jected the application of a woman for
admission to tho bar of the State, on the
ground that her request was not sanction
ed by any State law, and was contrary to
common law and woman’s best interests.
The U. S. Supreme Court has already de
cided that there is no appeal from State
Courts in similar cases.
The Pbice of Gas Still Going Down.
—The Manhattan Gas Light Company
and the New York Gas Light Company
officially announce that after the 1st dsy
of March the price of gas will be $2 50
per 1,000 cubic feet, instead of $3 75, as
heretofore. The Herald says the reduc
tion is made in consequence of the recent
action of many families and storekeepers,
who have used kerosene oil instead of
A petition has been presented in the

Generals Sherman, Sheridan, Hancock
.nd Ord favor the transfer of the Indian
lureau to the War Department. They
hink it would save the government at
east $3,500,000 per year. In every view
if the case—considerations respecting
like the good of tho Indians and the
liscipline and efficiency of the army—
hs argument is in favor of the change.
Prominent merchants of New York,
leaded by Messrs. H. B. Clafliu & Co.,
re making strenuous efforts to bring
bout the repeal of the bankrupt law. We
inderstand that the movement has even

s circulating among our merchants for
Kee’s application for a new trial is

A Scurriioos Document.
We are not in the habit, as a general
thing, of going to the New York Herald
in search of matter of a reliable and
trustworthy character, albeit it has of
late years greatly improved in that re
spect. In the issue of that paper of
Friday last, we find a letter from Atlanta
wLich, from beginning to end, is so filled
with gross and scurrilous personalities
that we wonder that even the lati-
tudinarians who manage the Herald
could have brought themselves to
commit the impropriety of admitting
it to their columns. The letter is devoted
entirely to what purports to be a criti
cism of the administration of Governor
James M. Smith, but what in reality is a
tirade of personal abuse, as senseless as it
is scandalous. It is only necessary, in
order to show the purpose as well as the
malice of the writer of the letter, to make
a single extract therefrom:
“The other brandies of His Excellency’s
administration, while they ha\e not been as
disastrous as his financial policy, have cer
tainly been as farcical. Your readers will
remember that in August last the whole
country was stirred up over the supposed
existence of a negro insurrection in South
ern Georgia. The true history of that in
surrection has never been written, and we
propose now to give it. A crazy negro wrote
a foolish and threatening letter, which some
one transmitted to His Excellency. His wild
and distempered imagination immediately
took fire. He snuffed danger from afar. Be
ing in a warlike mood he called out the mil
itary, donned his cocked hat, girded on his
sword, and, like another Bobadil, march
ed to tho scene of action and swore by
the foot of Pharaoh that the insurrection
must and should be put down. He went to
Saodersville. W&ynesborough and other
places, where he found an excited people all
up in arms c ver a foolish and baseless rumor.
Instead of attempting to allay the excite
ment he coultj not resist the impulse to play
tho demagogue, and ho harangued the mul
titude in a series of incendiary speeches.
He assumes great credit for the part he took
in that affair; but it is time the people of
the United States, and of Georgia in par
ticular, should know that, had it not been
for the good sense and wise patriotism of
Herschel V. Johnson, thousands of inno
cent negroes would have been massacred
and the State plunged into all the horrors of
an insurrectionary war. As it was no one
was convicted.”
Now there is not a regular reader of
the Morning News that does not know
that the assertions in the foregoing in
regard to the action of Governor Smith,
and, indeed, in regard to the insurrection
itself, are absolutely, unqualifiedly and
maliciously false. It is as well
known as investigation and the
confessions of the negroes themselves
can make it, that there was a widespread
movement among the colored people of
Washington, Laurens, Wilkinson, Twiggs,
Burke and Jefferson counties, which
but for the prompt measures taken under
the advice and by the direction of Gov.
Smith, would have culminated in a bloody
insurrection. It was not believed then,
nor is it believed now by any one
conversant with tho details of the
movement alluded to, that the mass
of the negroes were actuated
by any criminal or bloodthirsty
intent. They were as clay in the hands
of such cunning leaders as Joe Morris
and were led to believe that they were to
act under orders frem Gen. Grant. The
fact that there were no convictions was
one of the results of tho promptness of
the white people. The leaders were
arrested before they had made themselves
directly amenable to the law under which
they were indicted, and the insurrection
was crushed in its incipiency. There
are hot-heads in all communities,
and it was to restrain these from
violence that Governor Smith vis
ited Sandersville. His address to the
citizens of Washington couuty was tol
erably fully reported in the Morning
News. Instead of being “ incendiary”
and “ inflammatory,” as mendaciously
charged in the foregoing extract, it was
an appeal to the reason—the sober sec
ond thought —the better judgment—of
an excited people, who were under the
impression that tLe lives of their wives
and children were in imminent danger.
Moreover, the action of the Governor
not only quieted matters in the insurrec
tionary district, but was warmly approved
and applauded by the New York Times y
Sun and Tribune, and even by the Herald
itself. That must be a singular motive
which impels a newspaper correspondent
to descend not only to gross personal
abuse of an official iu Governor Smith’s
position, but to accompany his billings
gate with assertions notoriously and out
rageously uutrue.
Ge.v. Babcock to Retire on His Lau
rels.—A Washington special to the Bal
timore Sun says : “It had been under
stood that if Gen. Babcock was acquitted
he would immediately return to duty at
the White House, and such was the feel
ing of the President last night. On a
thorough examination of the testimony
the President has become convinced that
Gen. Babcock did not act with the dis
cretion which he ought to have observed
as a member of the Executive household
The matter was spoken of in the Cabinet
meeting to-day, and the opinion was ex
pressed that it would be as well if he
should not resume his place at the White
House. The impression now is that Gen.
Babcock will be superceded by Mr. U. S.
Grant, Jr., who has been discharging the
duties of the position with great accept
ability. It is understood that Mr. Luckey
is also to be displaced as one of the pri
vate secretaries of the President.”
The Crooked Whisky Rogues all Se
rene.—A Washington special to the New
Orleans Times says: “The acquittal of
Babcock has proved the turning point in
the crusade on crooked whisky, and the
general sentiment seems to be that it is
not only useless for the government offi
cers to attempt further prosecutions of
members of the whisky ring, but that
there will be such a change in the admin
istration policy as regards the whisky
frauds, that any more convictions will be
extremely doubtful. The whisky men
are in fine feather, and say that the ac
quittal of Babcock will be a heavy blow
at Bristow and a check upon the prose
cution of the members of the ring.” So,
under the protection of the President and
his Attorney General Pierrepont, the
whisky ring is all “hunkidori.”
L
Commenting on tho acquittal of Bab
cock, the World says: “The jury in
the Babcock case have returned a verdict
of ‘Not guilty,’and, in its legal aspect,
there is an end of the matter. The task
essayed by the government—that is, by
the prosecution—was too severe in the
face of the obstacles placed iu their way
at every stage. But, though District At
torney Dyer has failed of securing the
verdict for which he labored so earnestly,
we cannot but express again our first
opinion, that if Babcock has obtained a
legal acquittal, it is only at the cost of a
moral conviction. In the homely phrase
of Mr. Dyer, he is like the turkey to
whom the hunter remarked after shoot
ing off his leg : he has got away, but he
will roost low hereafter.”
A Knoxville Tragedy.—At a military
ball in Knoxville, Tenn., on Thursday
night last, Thomas Atkin and Thomas
Sneed, both belonging to highly respect
able families in that city, while the dance
wafi going on, got into a quarrel in the
cloak room, when Sneed drew a pistol
and shot Atkin in the head, causing his
death in a few minutes. Sneed gave
himself up to the authorities, and was
bailed in $5,000 for his appearance at
the criminal court.
Pauperism In New York,
The annual report of the State Chari
ties Aid Association develops the fact
that pauperism has increased in New York
to an alarming extent during the past two
or tnree years. Not only is the interior
of the State overrun with tramps who are
either unable to obtain employment or
are lazy vagrants who have failed to gain
support from charity in the cities, but
many thousands of industrious people
heretofore in comfortable circumstances
are thrown upon public charity for the
means of living. The figures of the re
port throw some light on this subject
Of the 25,000 homeless people given
lodgings last January in New York city,
not more than 1,000 were of the utterly
vagrant class known as “ revolvers.
One-fourth of the applicants were women,
and it is stated that a very large propor
tion of these had been accustomed hon
estly to earn their support. A yet more
significant fact appears : thirteen out of
tweuty-four tramps were of American
birth. The professioDal beggar, as is
well known, is rarely or never born in
this country. Three-fourths of these ap
plicants for relief were in the prime of
life. The number of young mendicants
has increased enormously. “With such
facts before us,” remarks the Tribune.
“it is evident that vigorous measures will
be needed to stem the increasing tide of
pauperism. ”
Pensioning Southern Veterans.—The
Republican Senators held a caucus on
Friday morning to consider the proposi
tion now pending in both Houses to put
on the pension rolls the names of the
soldiers of the war of 1812, stricken
therefrom because they adhered to the
cause of the Southern Confederacy. The
House bill, in addition fo this, makes
large additions to the pension roll. The
caucus was called at the instance of Mr.
Morton and one or two others, who ar
gued if this bill was passed the next
thing would be to pension the Confeae
rate soldiers. Mr. Edmonds made an
appeal for the veterans of 1812 who ad
hered to the Confederacy; there were but
few of them, and they could not live
much longer. An attempt was made to
have the caucus decide against the bills,
which would, of course, defeat them in
the Senate. This was not determined
upon, however, but was agreed that
motion be made to recommit the Senate
bill if it came up to-day, so as ’.o give
time for further consultation. The bill,
however, did not come up to-day, and so
the motion was not made.
It really seems as if the Democratic
committees will never get through finding
leaks, large and small, in the present ad
ministration of public affairs. The latest
discovered is the regular trade carried on
in renting buildings at enormous rates
for government use, most of them unnec
essarily. In every public building much
room is wasted, magnificent apartments
being placed at tho disposal of clerks and
lackeys, that might be utilized instead of
renting outside. As a general rule the
prices paid are the same as during the
period of war inflation. In the city of
Washington alone, where the government
owns pile after pile of granite and mar
ble, the rents amount to $80,000 a year,
but the evil extends over the whole coun
try. For years past Boss Shepherd has
been receiving $4,200 for a “rattle-trap’
the actual worth of which may be judged
from the fact that the last Republican
Congress cut it down to $1,800. The
Boss declines to accept this, and a law
suit is in prospect.
The Philadelphia Bulletin, without due
investigation, makes the assertion that
about fifteen monuments to the memory
of Washington have been started, but
that none have been completed. The
Baltimore American very naturally takes
exception to this statement, aud points
to the Washington monument in Balti
more, which, for majesty and beauty, is
not excelled in this country, and ranks
among the great memorial shafts of the
world. It is true, however, that the gov
ernment has never completed a monu
ment to the Father of his Country.
Almost every large city can boast a statue
of Washington, but in every case it was
erected, as it should be, without the aid
of the general government.
Composition of the Army.—Mr. Ban
ning. Chairman of the Committee on
Military Affairs of the House, presented
on Friday an interesting statement show
ing the nationality of the enlisted men in
the regular army of the United States
from January 1, 1805, to December 31,
1874. The total number enlisted in that
period was 133.059. Of this number 97,-
0GG, or more than one-half, were natives
of the United States. Ireland furnished
next largest number, 38,049; Germany
the next, 23,127; England the next, 9,03
Canada 4,703 and Scotland 2,450. Tur
key and Egypt furnished one each, and
nearly every nationality in the world fur
nished recruits from two to nine hundred.
The Republicans are forced to admit
that they are perplexed by the money
question, no less than are the Democrats.
With two State conventions held the
same day, that of Wisconsin and that of
Indiana, declaring, the former for hard
money and Blaine, and the latter for
soft money and Mortou, it is evident that
there is no harmony among them. In
deed the danger of a quarrel is so threat
ening thit the Chicago Tribune advises
the State conventions to let the money
question alone and trust to the National
Convention to define the party’s status on
it. “It looks like folly,” sajs the Tri
bune, “for a State convention to proclaim
its policy in advance when in a few
months or weeks the National Convention
may provide a different or op Dosing one.”

PIERREPONT AND HIS LETTER.
Gen. Beauregard’s Disabilities.—
Several weeks since a letter from Gen.
Beauregard to Senator Gordon on the
subject of the removal of his disabilities
was sent to the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee. The committee has not taken
up the case for consideration, and it is
understood that the purpose of the ma
jority is to quietly ignore it. They as
sume that Gen. Beauregard's letter was
not in the nature of a petition, and fur
ther they are disposed to wait and ob
serve the effect of the new crusade against
amnesty to the leading Confederates in
the coming elections.
The Augusta Constitutionalist has no
doubt in the world that Babcock was
acquitted on the plea made by his counsel,
Williams, Storrs and Porter, who identi
fied the President of the United States
with his private secretary. As even that
much abused, but very good-natured,
creature, the ex-rebel, who figured largely
on the jury, did not like to make Grant,
the Chief Magistrate, look ridiculous in
this Centennial epoch, we must presume
that an acquittal of the secretary is the
acquittal of his master.
Unless the mooted repeal of last Janu
ary’s resumption act be hurried up,
Secretary Bristow threatens to perpetrate
the absurdity of fractional silver re
sumption, authorixed by one of its pro

silver on hand, which, with the monthly
coinage, he expects to be ample to in
augurate the work within the coming
thirty days.

priation. He says that no instructions have
been given by the Attorney General to his

had any such pnrpose or intent, nor any
such instructions to which any such purpose

In the House, Cox presented the financial

ments submitted by the Speaker was a com
munication irom the Attorney General in
response to the resolution offered by Lord,
of New York, calling for an explanation of
his order touching the testimony of accom
plices in the whisky prosecutions. The At
torney General states that such instructions
as he issued were merely in confirmation
and approval oi arrangements already made,
and that as these instructions and arrange
ments relate to matters now in progress, the
House would readily see the propriety of
withholding special information thereto till
the trials are over.
Lord, of New York, moved that the whole
subject-matter be referred to the Judiciary
Committee. He understood the Attorney
General to admit, substantially, all that was
claimed about his undertaking to interfere
with the rule by which the testimony of ac
complices is taken, on tho ground that
abuses might possibly grow out of it. Iu
fact, :he accomplice who testifies could, iu
no sense, have any benefit from his testi
mony unless he told the truth ; therefore,
without saying now what the Attorney Gen
eral’s motives might have been, whether
right or wrong, aud without attempting to
impugu his motives iu the least, still as the
Attorney General had undertaken to change
the lule* aud pit-judge a case, assuming in
advance that accomplices would not tell tho
truth, he (Lord) moved that the whole mat
ter be referred to the Judiciary Committee.
Randall, of Pennsylvania, said he would
like the Judiciary Committee to inquire
what had induced the writing of the Attor

nary occasion. The Judiciary Committee
should report to the House all the circum
stances connected with it, and therefore he
suggested that inquiry bo made of the Sec
retary of the Treasury, as well as of the At
torney General. This matter was referred
to the Judiciary Committee.
The Judiciary Committee were instructed

Washington, February 23.— In the Su

the military officers remaining in command
there between that and the return of the
State to the Union, had no authority under
the acts of March aud July, 1867, to annul a
decree of a Court ot Equity of the State, and
such order, made by Gen. Cauby, was an
arbitrary stretch of authority, ’ aud was
properly disregarded by the court below.

Circumventing Whisky Frauds.—
Senator Gordon has prepared and will
introduce in the Senate, in the course of
a few days, propositions looking to an
entire revision and simplifying of the
system of collecting the tax on spirits.
He has been studying the subject for
months past, and is satisfied that, under
the system which he has mapped out,
the government can save millions of reve
nue which it now loses on account of the
frauds perpetrated under the present sys
tem. The plan of Senator Gordon will
also include a change in the manner of
appointment of internal revenue officers.
He will make a speech explaining his
propositions.
Where there is & weakness of the throat
or lungs, a neglected cold may be all that
is required to establish a lingering and gen
eral fatal disease. Even where there is no
special tendency to bronchial or pulmonary
trouble, a severe cold, left to take care o’f
itself, often plants the seeds of & serious
complaint, sure to be developed by subse
quent indiscretions. Take especial care of
your health, therefore, from the very ear
liest symptoms of a cough or cold, by pru
dently resorting to Dr. Jayne’s Expecto
rant, which will sooth aud strengthen the
bronchial tubes, allay inflammation, and
cleanse them and the lungs of all irritating
substances. An ounce of prevention is bet
ter than a pound of enre.

About the Governorship.
Thomasville, Ga., Feb. 28, 1870.
Editor Morning News:
The newspapers all over the State, es
pecially the country press, have been
talking about and nominating Governors,
each declaring its choice the choice of
the “ people.” Some are still at it, try
ing to palm off individual preference as
the voice of the people. It is all bosh.
A e people have not spoken, and will not
be heard until through their convention.
At present the people are not caring a
continental. They know there are plenty
of competent, good men in the State,
and the proper one will be invited to
stand forth at the proper time. But
really the newspapers are disgusting many
people with the perpetual cry of “ the
best man,” and actually diminishing the
chances of some good men by making
them appear as clamorous office-seekers,
when these gentlemen have not uttered
one word on the subject. Why will ed
itors do this? Can it be that each is
looking to some future favor as a reward
from his nominee, for being the first to
bring him out? Of course, editors are
too pure and disinterested for this. Then,
why don’t they leave the matter for the
convention ? Already there is talk of a
division of the Democratic party of the
State, on the Gubernatorial election.
Well, if there is, it should be laid at the
feet of those patriotic editors who are so
devoted to the people that they won’t
let them harmonize on a candidate, for
fear the “fourth estate” won’t have any
thing to wrangle over.
One of the People.
The National House of Representatives
has done a highly creditable thing in
passing the bill to reorganize the Judi
ciary of the United States. It is high
time that it was reorganized. In 1810
there were ninety-eight causes in the
calendar; in 1875 there were nine hun
dred and one, almost ten times as many,
without any special increase of facilities
for disposing of them. This is a measure
of the necessity that existed for devising
some new means to hasten satisfactory
decisions on appellate ca-es. The pro
visions of the bill meet this emergency
in about the only way it can be met.
They establish intermediate Appellate
Courts in the several circuits, composed
of the Supreme Court Judge assigned to
the Circuit, the Circuit Judges and the
District Judges, and it is believed that if
a litigant, dissatisfied with the judgment
of a single District or Circuit Judge, is
heard before this Appellate Court, he will
in the majority of cases be satisfied, with
out carrying his case to the Supreme
Court as now. This will lessen consider
ably the work now heaped upon the Ju
diciary.
Cheap Gas.—Three of the principal
gas companies of New York have agreed
to a reduction of the rates per thousand
cubic feet from $2 75 to $2 50. “There
is,” says the Herald, “no reason that we
can see why the price should be more
than $2 25, and we believe that it can be
furnished at $2 and still yield a large
profit. The extensive oil movement in
Brooklyn doubtless entails some incon
veniences, while saving considerable
money to the consumers, but in bringing
the gas companies to their senses they
are teaching all monopolies a useful les
son.
