That Mysterious Woman.—There is
reason to believe that that mysterious
woman of whom we hav6 heard so much
of late years as exerting a wonderful in
fluence over the heads of the government
and being concerned in all the villainous
transactions that have from time to time
come to light, has been caught at last,
and is about to be used as a witness for
the disclosure of important facts con
nected with the c fficial frahd and corrup
tion now under investigation by the
House committees. A Washington dis
patch says: “There is a lady at Williard’s
Hotel in the close custody of the Sergeant-
at-Arms, not permitted to leave her
room. She has been there for some days.
It is said that upon her testimony de
pends the fate and the good name of a
person high in authority. No person in
private life is permitted to see her, nor
are any private messages delivered to her,
yet the chairmim of the House Naval
Committee has undisturbed access to her
room, and seems to know what he is
about. There was a woman in the Secor
claim, one in the French arms business,
one in almost all the historical rascalities
here, and it seems that there is one now
in which the Naval Committee has so
much interest as to closely guard her
door.”
Centennial Railroad Fares.—At the
convention of the general railroad ticket
agents of the United States, held at New
York on the 8 th inst., to fix the rates of
fares’for the Centennial, it was decided
that from the territory east of jl. r 0 it,
Toledo, Cleveland, Crestline, ColumL
and Cincinnati, and west or north of (in
cluding; Bingfcampton, Elmira, Corry,
Pittsburg, Wheeling and Parkersburg,
excursion tickets to Philadelphia and
New York be made good for thirty days
from date of issue. That a reduction be
made of not more than twenty-five per
cent, from convention rates to Philadel
phia for round trip tickets via direct
routes ; that the rates on tickets to Phila
delphia via New York, returning by the
same route, shall be two dollars more
than the rates to Philadelphia by the di
rect or short line, and that the rates on
tickets to Philadelphia via New York and
returning via a direct or short line, or
vice versa, shall be one dollar more than
the rates by a direct or short line to
Philadelphia.
New Hampshire has one voter to about
every four inhabitants, a pretty consid
erable percentage of whom are purchas
able at reasonable figures, according to
the importance of the election and the
heat of the canvass. Thousands of ab
sent citizens from all parts of creation
return to vote. Very little proof of resi
dence is required. A man may leave a
trunk behind him and come back every
year and vote, at the expense of the com
mittee of his party. All this is bad
enough, but it would seem from the re
sult of the election on Tuesday last, that
the “God and morality party” is in the
majoijty in New Hampshire, and that the
more fraud and corruption is shown to
exist in all departments of the govern
ment, the more popular the adminis
tration.
An Impeachment Certain.—The Wash
ington correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer says: “Mr. Clymer’s committee
is still at work getting new evidence in
the Belknap impeachment, and the Chair*
man to*day said that he would be able to
make up his case without Marsh. In
reply to a remark that it required but a
word from the President to secure
Marsh’s return, Mr. Clymer said there
were witnesses enough who could not be
frightened away to establish the guilt of
the Secretary, and that no word from the
President was needed.”
Orville in More Trouble. — The
Washington correspondent of the Balti
more Hun anyt. “Orville Grant and
Martin Cronin, Chief Engineer o 1 the
Fire Department, were fined in the Police
Court to-day for indulging in a horse
race on Sundiy. The former was required
to pay *20, while the latter got off with
*1, he having a.-leged that he was going
to a fire.” The brother of the President
horseraoing on the Sabbath! We fear
Orville is a hard nut.

The Chairman of the Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee of the Eighth Con
gressional District has called a moetiDg
of the committee, to be held in Augusta
on the third day of April, for the purpose
of oalling a convention to elect u tea
to represent that district in the Nation' 1
Democratic Convention to nominate a
candidate for President of the United
States. ^
As a sample of developments by inves-
tigations into the mail, contract system, a
case is mentioned in Washington dis
patches in which one man is said to have
made two hundred thousand dollars on
contracts controlled by him, but on which
he had net performed any service, hav
ing sub-let the same.

District Attorney Dyer, of St. Louis,
with CoL Broadhead, assistant counsel in
the Babcock trial, and the dismissed Hen-
d-irson, have been summoned to Wash
ington by Proctor Knott, chairman of
the special committee investigating
Pierrepont’s interference in the whisky
trials. * t m <
Blaine and Botnton.—It is now set
tled beyond doubt, says a Washington
dispatch, that Boynton, of the Uaulte,
permitted himself to be used by Blame,
in attacking Pendleton, for the purpose
of breaking the foroe of Belknap’s degra
dation in Ohio, which holds the first
election.
There are some people incrednlous
enough not to believe that a man like
Orville Grant would have been paid
Ip2 400 a year as a contract broker if he
had not been the brother of Ulysses S.,
the President. Some people don't even
believe the moon is made of green
cheese!
And now the friends of the National
Banks are insisting that the National
banking system is an interconvertible
bond system. But they object to the
People’s interconvertible bond proposed
by Kelley or Booth, or by the Grangers
wherever they meet.
The Atlanta Constitution and Mr. Hill.
A few days since we briefly alluded to
the current rumor that Hon. B. H. Hill
was preparing a speech to be delivered in
Congress in defense of the doctrine of
secession, and that there was some talk of
efforts in Democratic caucus to restrain
him from furnishing any more campaign
documents for the Republicans. In this
connection we quoted an extract from a
Washington dispatch which stated that
“grave suspicions are expressed among
the Democrats that Ben has a method in
his madness which certain Republicans
oould explain if they would.”
The Atlanta Constitution takes us to
task for publishing this on dit of the
times. Our immaculate cotemporary is
very severe and denunciatory, but never
theless leaves us a little in doubt whether
he is directing his denunciations against
Mr. Hill, the author of the Washington
dispatch, or the Morning News. Allud
ing to the dispatch he says: “If this
means anything it means that Mr. Hill
has sold himself to the Republicans for
the defeat and injury of his seotion, and
we hold up the outrage to the people of
Georgia for their indignation and rebuke.”
This paragraph is not quite so clear to
our comprehension as the meaning of the
Washington telegram seems to be to onr
astute cotemporary. He 6ays if that
“shameful paragraph” which he has quo
ted from the News means anything, it
means that “Mr. Hill has sold himself to
the Republicans,” and that the Constitu
tion holds up the “outrage to the
indignation and rebuke of the
people of Georgia.” To what outrage
does our cotemporary refer? Does it
invoke the indignant rebuke of the peo -
pie of Georgia against Mr. Hill for having
“sold himself to the Republicans?” Or
does he desire to direct the aforesaid
“indignation and rebuke” against the
author of the dispatch for intimating
that such is the fact ? If the Con
stitution is correct in its interpreta
tion of the Washington dispatch, and if
that uispatch is reliable—if Mr. Hill has
indeed “sold himself to the Re
publicans for the defeat and
injury of his section” then we heartily
unite with our cotemporary in holding up
the outrage to the indignation and rebuke
of the people of Georgia.
But we can hardly believe that such
is the true meaning of the Con
stitution's paragraph. We can hardly
suppose that the editor of the Constitu
tion believes that Mr. Hill has sold out to
the Republicans. Mr. Hill is not a seller.
Besides, according to the Constitution's
“ethics,” such a transaction on the part
of Mr. Hill would not merit the “indig
nation and rebuke of the people
of Georgia.” The Constitution would or
should be the last paper in the State to
hold up such an “outrage” to indig
nation and rebuke. We are forced,
therefore, to conclude that the Consti
tution does not mean what it says—
that it does not charge Mr. Hill, on the
authority of that Washington dispatch,
with having sold himself to the Repub
licans, and that after all it only meant
to rebuke the author of the Wash
ington telegram for giving form to the
“ grave suspicions,” the current gossip
in Democratic circles in that city, and
that its “ unqualified denunciation ” was
really directed against the Morning
News for publishing the paragraph
which it quotes. We are strength
ened in this conjecture by the con
cluding portion of the Constitution's
article, in which the editor is
eloquently eulogistic of Mr. Hill’s defense
of the South in Congress, and evidently
intends to be very severe upon “the South
ern press or man who oould thus insult
and stab him,” and on “the Georgian ca
pable of charging him with the baseness
of treachery to the people he so triumph
antly defended.”
We are willing to take it for granted
that the Constitution's encomiums and
laudations of Mr. Hill are unbought,
and so far as its article relates to that
distinguished gentleman’s recent eloquent
and triumphant defense of the South
against the wanton and unprovoked at
tack of the miserable partizan demagogue,
Blaine, we heartily endorse every word
of it.
The Morning News has not been ranked
among the supporters of Mr. Hill in the
past, but it was among the first papers of
the State to commend and applaud his
manly and able defense of the Southern
people on the floor of Congress, and
it will be the last to do him injustice—
to “insult and stab him.” But while we
concede his talents and honor his devo
tion to his section, we have not always
been able to approve his judgment; and
in the performance of our duty as honest
and independent journalists, not less
devoted to the welfare of the South
*nd the country than Mr. Hill,
we have felt constrained to disap
prove the unnecessary revival of ir
ritating sectional issues at this time,
the rrotation of which can do no possible
good, but must retard the business of
legislation and work harm not only to
the South but to the country at large.
We favor no dishonorable or truckling
concessions of principle or sentiment,
but we believe we represent the views
of the people of Georgia when
we say it is not the part
of the South to make the floor of Con
gress the arena in which to fight over the
issues of the past.
We have already commended Mr. Hill
for his prompt, manly and eloquent refu
tation of the slanders against The South,
and certainly we desire no more pleasing
task than to commend him for his pru-
Prospects of Changes in the Revenue
Law.
The disposition of Congress, as ex
pressed by prominent members of the
Ways and Means and Appropriation Com
mittees, seems in favor of amending the
revenue laws relative to distilled spirits.
The long and very comprehensive bill of
the Wine and Spirit Traders’ Society,
which is similar in character to the re
form proposed by Senator Gordon in his
resolution, is not likely to pass as it
stands, there being a manifest disposition
not to take hold of anything so cumber
some. But it is quite probable, says the
well posted correspondent of the New
York Bulletin, that two things will be
done: that an alcohol export bonded
warehouse system for the seaboard cities
and a more liberal transportation bond
will be favored by the strong men in Con
gress and adopted. The question of reor
ganization of the salaries and force of
the revenue service making the tenure of
office during good behavior, as proposed
by Gen. Gordon, will no doubt, says the
correspondent, be fought out in the Ap
propriation bill now before the House,
but the idea of abolishing stamps and
taxing the product at the still, allowing
it to go free thereafter, which is one of
the proposed elements of reorganization
of foroe, will not be apt to prevail this
session. There will be considerable dis
cussion on the question of reducing the
tax to 50 cents, in the interests of hones*
collection of the revenue, but that proposi
tion is one of doubt as to the result. It
is strong, but hardly strong enough to
carry. It is backed strongly in the West,
a part of the Cincinnati trade dissenting.
The qnestion of extension of the bonding
period for domestic spirits is about an
even thing in the probabilities, with
doubtful indications. Something will
be done in the matter relating to distilled
spirits, but the discussion has not yet
commenced.
Tobacco taxes, and regulations regard
ing tobacco, cigars and snuff, will remain
precisely as now. The Committee of
Ways and Means only proposes to touch
upon one branch of the subject—to allow
r producer to sell a certain amount of
leaf at retail to consumers. But while
that is apt to be agreed to by the com
mittee, and possibly by the House, it will
be certain to be defeated, for the Senate
Committee is positive in the determina
tion not to yield.
The stamp tax on checks and proprie
tary medicines and matches will be apt to
remain as now, because all schemes to
repeal them and put a duty on tea and
coffee in their stead, have been aban
doned.

THE WESTERN EXCURSIONISTS.
Their Reception by the Citizens of
Atlanta.
[Special Telegram to the Morning News.]
Atlanta, March 16.
There are banquets at the Kimball and
Markham hotels in honor of the Western
guests to-night. The guests number five
hundred. They leave by special train to
morrow morning for Augusta, and leave
there Saturday morning for Fort Royal,
thence by steamer for Savannah, arriving in
your city about ten o’clock at night.
The excursionists are conceded to be the
finest body of men ever gotten together.
All express themselves delighted with then-
reception. B. W. Wrenn, Chairman of the
Transportation Committee, accompanies
them, with the Mayor and a delegation of
fifty f;om Atlanta.

There was a large meeting of “colored
troops” in Washington city, on Mon
day night, to take into consideration the
affairs of the nation, and especially to
give the views of the “race,” in regard to
the rejection of Pinchback by the Senate.
A series of resolutions were adopted de
claring, among other things, that “the
Senate, in refusing to seat Pinchback,
professedly on technical grounds, did an
unjust act, affecting the colored race,
ignored the rights of a soverign State,
bowed to caste and aided proscription, re
bellion and anarchy.” The resolutions
also condemn Senators Edmunds and
Paddock for voting against Pinchback,
and eulogize Senator Morton, whose
course they say “make him a fitting per
son for any position in which law and
justice may be equitably administered
and defended by an honest and resolute
person.
These resolutions were supported by
Frederick Douglass, George T. Downing
and others, and unanimously adopted.
A procession was then formed and pro
ceeded to the Ebbitt House, where Sena
tor Morton was complimented with a
serenade. The colored speaker who in
formed Senator Morton of what had taken
place at the meeting and the character of
the resolutions, said that heretofore the
colored people could only thank their
friends, but now they could express their
gratitude in votes.
Senator Morton responded, saying,
among other things, that Pinchback was
fairly and legally elected, and had the
sympathy of the entire Republican party
throughout the entire country, and that
the great battle of human rights would
be fought in the coming Presidential con
test. The procession then proceeded to
Capitol Hill,where they serenaded Pinch
back, who returned his thanks in a
speech.

Democratic Retrenchment.—Here is
the way the Committee on Appropri
ations proposes to retrench in expendi
tures of the House of Representatives:
For compensation and mileage of mem
bers and delegates—appropriated 1875-6,
*1,650,000; estimated 1876-7, *1,650,000;
recommended 1876-7, *1,459,000. The
reduction on this item is *191,000, or
nearly twelve per cent. For compen
sation of officers, clerks and employes of
the House there was appropriated in
1875- 6 *227,074 70; estimated for 1876-7,
*222,794 70; amount recommended for
1876- 7, *178,890, a reduction from the
appropriations of last year of *48,184 70,
or upwards of twenty-one per cent. For
the contingent expenses of the House of
Representatives the appropriation of
1875- 6 was *208,585; the estimates for
1876- 7, *206,085; the amount recom
mended is *121,768, a reduction from the
appropriation of 1875-6 of *86,817, or
about forty-one per cent. The total re
duction on the three items is *326,101 70,

New Mexico.—There is something
strikingly absurd in the proposition of
the Radicals to admit New Mexico, a vast
region of wilderness country, with little
more than double the population of Chat
ham county, into the Union as a State
With an area of 121,201 square miles,
there is at present less Qian one inhabi
tant to every seven hundred and seventy
acres. The value of the entire products
of the Territory last year is estimated by
the Senate committee at *9,000,000—
about *8 55 for each acre, *75 for each
square mile and $90 for each person.
Would it not be absurdly "unjust to give
to this population and this productive
capacity an equal voice in one half of
Congress with the great States of the
Union? Concerning the intelligence of
the Territory, the Cincinnati Commercial
says : “Over seventy-five per cent, of
the population of New Mexico are desti
tute of the first elements of intelligence.
In the whole Territory there are only
eleven newspapers, all weekly journals.
All the papers in this Territory that wants
to be a State put together have less than
three thousand five hundred subscribers.”
There can be very little doubt that the
House will reject the bill passed by the
Senate for the admission of New Mexico
as a State.

Washington, March 16.—In the Senate, a
resolution was introduced and placed on the
calendar providing that proceedings and de
bates shall appear in the Record as actually
delivered, grammatical errors excepted.
A resolution was adopted requesting the
Secretary of tho Treasury to furnish the
Senate the amount of the annual product of
gold and silver in the United States from
1845 to 1875, inclusive ; also, the amount of
gold and silver in.other parts of the world for
the same years, and an estimate of the gold
and siiver now in the United States.
A recently published statement that the
administration was attempting to defeat the
House bill for the protection of witnesses
was denied by Edmunds, Thurman and
others.
The bill regulating the counting of electo
ral votes was discussed.
In the House a long discussion took place
on the bill appropriating for the deficiency
in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing
and to provide for silver circulation, but no
action.
The sub-committee on ventilating the
House reported it impossible to force into
the House a sufficient supply of fresh air for
six hundred persons, and with it a resolu
tion to exclude from tlie galleries all per
sons except those who have the privilege of
reporters and the diplomatic galleries, aud
such as may bo admitted on cards of mem
bers. A debate sprung up, Harrison, of
Illinois, advocating it on the ground that
the geutlemoii’s gallery was daily crowded
with idlers, aud that members of the House
were being poisoned by foul air, and Con
ger, of Michigan, opposing it as
proposing to draw a line between
classes of American people. In the course
of the discussion Blaine remarked that from
some cause or other the air of the hall had
never been so bad as this year, and Wilson,
of Iowa, asserted it was worse than tho air
of emigrant ships. 'Hoar, of Massachusetts,
remarked that he had come here eight
years ago the youngest member of his dele
gation, and now was the senior member. In
that time seven members of his delegation
had died. The report was recommitted.
A resolution to restore an elective govern
ment in the District of Columbia was offered
and referred.
The jury iu tho case of Halieck, the
Treasury robber, found a verdict of guilty.
The Committee of Ways and Means to
day decided by a strict party vote to take
up Morrison’s tariff bill for consideration,
all the Republican members of the com
mittee opposing it on the gound that tho
tariff question should uot be agitated and
reopened. Several Democrats, who voted
to take up tho bill, stated they did not in
tend thereby to pledge themselves to do
anything more than allow it to be con
sidered. Mr. Wood was absent by reason of
sickness, but sent word that if present he
would oppose taking up the bill.
THE FRENCH FLOODS.
Paris, March 16.—Advices say that Bercy,
Nevilly, Courberoie, Asnieres, Billaucourt,
Point du Jour, Auteuil, Sevres, St. Cloud
and Juresnes, are all more or less inunda
ted, and the suffering is very great. Mar
shal and Madame Mac Mahon each visited
separate quarters and distributed relief pt
serially. Madame MacM&hon tent the Pi
feet of the Seine 5,000 francs. A'l the large
streams between Paris and the Eastern Iron-
tier of France are out of their banks and the
country for miles around is flooded.
In Normandy the floods have caused
great damage. In Belgium the hurricane
was terrific. The barometer at Liege fell
below the lowest reading on record. In all
the towns the parks were ravaged, roofs
torn off and factory chimneys felled. At
Aix-la-Chapelle, the St. Nicholas Church
was unroofed. Elsewhere in Germany the
storm was terrific, aud generally on the
continent. The telegraph lines are dam
aged to an extent hitherto unparalleled.
NEW YORK NOTES.
New York, March 16.—Prosper M. Wet-
more is dead.
George E. Defreest and Wm. B. Bullions,
clerks iu the insurance office of Christie &
Boardm&n, at Troy, have absconded with
$11,000. Speculations and faro led to the
defalcation.
The costs of the Tweed $6,000,000 suit
were taxed to-day. With some interest yet
to be computed, they are between $12,000
and $13,000, exclusive of the one per cent,
allowance, which will amount to about
$60,000.
The new directors of the Bank of the State
of New York elected Lawrence Turner Vice-
President and appointed a committee to in
vestigate the affairs of tho bank and report
as soon as possible. It is said that the re
quired extension of sixty days has not been
signed by the necessary number of credit
ors and hence the appointment of an in
vestigating committee.
BELKNAP AGAIN.
New York, March 16.—A special to the
Herald from Bismarck, D. T., says: “Un
deniable evidence will be sent from here to
Washington in a few days, proving that
within one week after Belknap’s installation
as Secretary of War he began to scheme for
the sale of all prominent traderships on the
frontier, and they were eventually disposed
of for money. The dispatch says the evi
dence referred to w?U show that one Senator
aud one ex-Senator, both from the same
State—the latter now Governor of a Terri
tory—and an ex-Govemor of a Territory,
now holding a high and responsible posi
tion in the War Department, and an ex-
Territorial Marshall, have all been im
plicated.”
haytien troubles.
New* York, March 16.—Yesterday Mr.
Preston, Minister of Hayti, received a dis
patch from Kingston, Jamaica, to the effect
that Jacmel, in Hayti, had gone over to the
rebel party, which is headed by Gen. Canal.
Tho Minister instantly gave notice to Con
sul General Bokkeler not io clear any more
vessels for Jacmel until further orders. It
is reported that General Canal landed on the
7th inst., with twenty-five prominent revo
lutionists, from the steam yacht Octavia,
late the Uruguay. A few weeks ago she
left Kingston and went to the Island of St.
Thomas, where the revolutionists joined
her and proceeded on her way to Jacmel.
VICTORIA GOING A VISITING.
London. March 16.—The Fall Mall Ga
zette's Berlin dispatch says a private villa has
been engaged for Qneen Victoria at Baden-
Baden during her sojourn there. She will
travel incog., and, it is stated, will assume
the title of Countess of liosenan after the
late Princo Consort's favorite residence in
Thuringia. The Empress Augusta wishes
to meet the Queen at Cobnrg, and the
Crown Prince aud Princess of Germany will
also meet her there. The Emperor William
proposes to visit her in Baden-Baden early
in April. The Queen particularly desires no
official reception anywhere on her Journey.
She will leave on the 23tli.

A THIN STORY.
Washington, March 16.—A sub-commitl
tee of the Judiciary Committee have been
three days taking testimony in regard to
the payment of three thousand dollars for a
West Point cadetship, to which a young
man, named Beardslee, was appointed in
March, 1S75, bn Hays, of Alabama. Prof.
Eli Charlier, who keeps a large private
school in the neighborhood of Central Park,
New York, detailed to the committee, under
the pressure of a verv close examination
the steps which he had taken in the interest I
of this pupil of his to procure his admis
sion at West Point. Ho finally applied to
an attorney iu this city, named Lilly, who
agreed to furnish the appointment for
three thousand dollars, with the condition
that the boy should make a residence in the I
district in Alabama from which he was
to be appointed. This was to be effected by
a sojourn of sixty days in Tuscaloosa. The
appointment was made and $3,000 was paid
to Lilly by Charlier, and the boy aud his
mother spent two months in Tuscaloosa.
Lilly admitted all the main facts, but deuied
positively that Hays had participated in the
liee. He had been on intimate terms with
Hays, who had previously made two appoint
ments to the Academy which had proved to
be failures, and who was glad to have|||
chance of appointing a qualified boy. Lilly
admitted having practiced deception cnl
Hays by assuring him that the boy was
bona fide resident of his district.
THE FINANCES OF CUBA.
IHavana, March 16.—The Captain General
has issued a decree regarding tho finances
which is published by the Gaceta. It abol-1
ishes the 15 and 10 per cent, taxes and the
tax of $2,400 on slaves, and in lieu thereof
imposes a direct taxation of $36,000,000 on
the whole island, of which Havana is to pay
$12,000,000. The entire expenses of the
island are estimated at $82,000,000 gold per
annum, of which $46,000,000 is provided for
by receipts from customs and sources other
Ithan direct taxation. This leaves a balance
of $36,000,000 to be raised by additional tax
ation. In order to relieve the treasury oi
the island from the floating debt recognized
to January 1st,1876,the government will issue
eight per cent, bonds to the amount of
$180,000,000. Whenever certificates of in
debtedness are presented, these bonds will
be given, th9 amount of bonds remaining
after the payment of all debts to be used to
retire the notes of the Spanish Bank. The
government will settle accounts with the
Spanish Bank at the earliest possible date.
The government will retire $300,000 of these
bonds semi-annually. The present decree
places the receipts and expenditures of the
island treasury before the people in an in
telligible manner, and promises a mode of
administering affairs much less costly than
hitherto.
NORTH CAROLINA POLITICS.
Raleigh, N. C., March 17.—Gen. W. R.

vention. He left this afternoon for Wil
mington, in eharge of a deputy marshal.
The Democratic Executive Committee

PENDLETON’S CASE.
Washington, March 16.—A. H. Ransom,
formerly Secretary of the Kentucky Central
Railroad Company, testified before Cly
mer’s committee to-day that iu the spring

ton. By arrangement with the company
he waB to receive twenty-five per cent., but
after much labor and a sojourn iu Wash
ington for three months, he went home
without having effected a settlement. Mr. I
Pendleton, however, succeeded in collecting
the claim in Juue, 1871, after an agreement
or contract with those interested in it, and!
when Pendleton returned to Cincinnati he 1
was to give Ransom $10,500 on account of]
the latter’s former connection with the]
claim.
