Calling Names.—Shakespeare’s dictum
upon the subject of nomenclature is
clearly not rpj ,-oved by the American
citizens of African descent who live in
.Washington city. It appears from bill
No. 2,526 in the House of Representa
tives calendar that the improvements
wrought by the “ District ring ” have
done hurt to the property of a certain as.
sociation of colored Christians, who de
nominationally designate themselves as
“The John Wesley African Methodist
Episcopal Zion Church,’’wherefore relief
is proposed to be given by actof Congress.
It is not in their associate capacity alone,
however, that car colored fellow-citizens
indulge peculiar ideas with respect to
names. There was an old —ho
named his boy, bom just after . ate
war had come to an end, “ Cause-h. -
free-born;” and there were two little negrc
children upon a Virginia plantation, not
many years ago, whose names were re
spectively “ Hollywood Cemetery ” and
“ University of Virginia.”
Alleged Political Corruption in
Mississippi.—The Now York Herald
publishes a dispatch from Jackson, Miss.,
giving a schedule of certificates issued to
certain named members of the Legisla
ture of that State, for amounts ranging
from $21 to $190, signed by the preRid
ing officer of each body, and which were
afterwards cashed by B. K. Bruce
now a United States Senator from Mis
sissippi, with the understanding that
these Representatives were to support
Bruce for the Senate. It is claimed by
Bruce and his friends in justification of
the purchase of these certificates that the
law authorized him to cash warrants or
certificates at their face value, and pay
them into the State Treasury on settle
ment of his accoants as sheriff aDd tax
collector, in lieu of the current money
collected and paid for such warrants and
certificates.
The following art some of the appro-
pnations for the ensuing year made by
the British Parliament: For salaries and
expenses of the House of Lords, $217,445;
of the House of Commons, $250,030; of
the Home Department, $290,050; of the
Foreign Office, $315,980; of the Colonial
Office, $173,775; of the Board of Trade,
$729,790; of the Charity Commission,
$167,500; of the Civil Service Commis
sion, $ 114,i65; of the Local Government
Board, $3,466,435; of the Mint, $251,250:
of the National Debt Office, $86,670.
The appropriations for the House of
Lords and the House of Commons are
much smaller than those annually made
in the United States for the support of
Congress. But ordinary members of
Parliament in the United Kingdom re
ceive no salaries, which accounts for the
difference.
The Whlsky War in Chicago.—A dis
patch was received at the Treasury De
partment in Washington on Monday
from Chicago to the effect that Rehm has
agreed with the District Attorney to plead
guilty to two of the warrants against
him, pay a fire « f fifty thousand dollars*
and go to the Ci.anty jail. In considera
tion of no further punishment, he agrees
to furnish testimony which will convict
Mann, Hoyt, Bridges and Wadsworth, all
ex-internal revenue officers, and Jasper
D. Ward, ex-member of Congress and
ex-United States District Attorney. All
these parties are men'of influence and
prominence. Rehm was the treasurer of
the Chicago whisky ring. He is at pre
sent a member of the Cook County Re -
publican Committee.
A Startling Estimate.—The New York
Bulletin makes this startling f e of
the losses to property and trade •or-
runt government:
After allowing for the inevitable addi
tion to the taxes arising from war expen
ditures, it may be safely estimated that
for the last ten years the taxes, including
all kinds, have been swelled by corrupt
political influences at the rate of $250,-
000,000 a year. If this estimate be cor
rect we have paid within one decade
$2,500,000,000—an amount sufficient to
extinguish the whole national debt, and
equal to four years’ net earnings of the
nation—as the penalty of tolerating
political corruption.
Dr. Storrs cleverly characterizes the
Investigating (?) Committee appointed
by Beecher’s council as “an ecclesiastical
Quaker gun, from whose dutab, wooden
mouth no shot can go forth.” The Brook
lyn Argun says if the new form of Con
gregationalism that threatens society,
Utder the title of “Beecherism,” is to
become a recognized branch of the Church
militant, its armament must necessarily
consist cf the above description of ord -
nance. It is too weak to support the
weight of heavy artillery.

Mr. Pendleton’s Transaction with the
War Department.
From the first intimation of the con
nection of Hon. George H. Pendleton
with the corruption in the War Depart
ment, we have watched with deep interest
the developments of the evidence before
the committee of investigation. We re
garded the connection of his name with
the Belknap scandal as only a cunning
device of {he Radicals to involve the repu-
tion of a prominent Democrat in the
frauds that were being brought to light %
as a means of breaking the force
of the public indignation against
the administration, or, perhaps, to
neutralize the effect of the recent de
velopments on the New Hampshire
election. We entertained no doubt that
when the facts of the case were brought
out Mr. Pendleton would stand before
the country unscathed—his honor and
integrity triumphantly vindicated. While
we have not been wholly disappointed in
this confident expectation—while the
evidence has failed to show fraud
or corruption on the part of Mr. Pen
dieton. we are forced to confess that
his own statement of the transaction
under investigation does not place him
bojer' 1 the reach of unfriendly criticism
and ungenerous suspicion.
The charge against Mr. Pendleton is,
that as the representative of a rejected
claim against the government, he used
improper influences to secure its pay
ment, a large portion of the money going
to himself.
The purport of Mr. Pendleton’s tes
timony before the Committee on War
Expenditures is to this effect: The
claim of the Kentucky Central Railroad
Company against the government was
Tor nearly one hundred and fifty thous
and dollars. Mr. Pendleton was Presi
dent of the company,and administrator of
the Bower estate, which estate owned
four-fifths of the stock of the company,
in his double capacity of President and
administrator he virtually made
contract with himself as agent,
bv which he was to receive fifty per cent,
of the claim. The government, through
the aid of Mr. Belknap, paid him the
claim, eighty thousand dollars of which
he retained as “fee”—sixty-eight thous
and dollars going to the company. None
>f this money was paid to Mr. Belknap or
to any member of his family, or to any
one representing the Secretary.
This is the transaction as set forth by
.Mr. Pendleton’s own statement and con
armed by other witnesses. No actual
fraud or corruption is shown. There is
no proof that any of the money was used
‘o induce the decision of Secretary Belk-
uap in favor of The claim. But can such
i transaction be reconciled with that high
moral sense of right and duty which should
characterize an American statesman—
in aspirant for the Presidential office?
[f the claim was a just one, it was the
luty of Mr. Pendleton, as President of
ihe company and as administrator of the
estate so largely interested in it, to have
prosecuted it in his official capacity,
charging the claimants only the expenses
ncurred. If it was an unjust claim, he
should have used no influence for a con
sideration to procure its payment,
fc would be charitable to view
Mr. Pendleton’s connection with the
case only in a professional light.
But when his relation to the claimants is
considered, when it is remembered that
che claim had been repeatedly rejected,
that Mr. Pendleton, as a prominent
Democratic politician, was not likely to
exert any legitimate influence upon the
Republican officials, it will be impossible
to escape the suspicion that improper in
fluences were brought to bear in the
settlement of a government claim
from which the agent received a
larger amount of money than was real-
zed by the claimants. The personal re
lations. too, of Mr. Pendleton, Mrs.
Sower and Secretary Belknap — the
brother-in-law and afterwards the hus
band of the lady—are calculated to
strengthen these suspicions, and in any
point of view to give to the entire trans
ition an unfavorable aspect.
Mr. Pendleton may be, and we are
willir~ to believe he is guiltless of
fraudulent complicity in this matter. Un
fortunately for him, however, it has the
repulsive aspect of a “job,” and associ-
ites his name with the evil report of ihe
times. This unfortunate association will
be used against him with effect by his
political enemies, and though the coDfi-
lence of his friends in his personal honor
\nd integrity may remain unimpaired, it
will not fail to have a damaging influence
on his political prospects.
rhe
Projected Radical Change of
Front.
A correspondent of the Chicago Times,
who professes to be well informed in re
gard to the policy that is to govern the
Radical party in the present emergency,
says that since the Belknap exposure it
has become convinced of the necessity of
\ change of programme. They see the
futility of attempting the Presidential
race with a candidate who will be put
upon the defensive as to his complicity
with even greater frauds than Belknap’s,
which every one realizes must soon
come to light. Under this conviction,
according to the Times correspondent, a
complete change of front is contem
plated—old party hacks are to be thrown
overboard, Morton, Blaine, Conkling
and Hartranft consenting to the arrange
ment, and an effort is to be made to unite
the party on Bristow and Charles Francis
Adams for President and Vice President*
We think, with the Nashville American,
that there is very little prospect of the
success of this arrangement. Bris
tow has not been long enough in
position in the administration ring to
have lost his reputation for honesty. He
lacks, therefore, an important element of
popularity with his party. Besides, any
attempt to carry out the new programme
would be opposed by all the present aspi
rants for the nomination; and by none of
them more strenuously than by Charles
F. Adams, whose blue-blooded, Puritan
dignity could never stoop to accept
the second place on the ticket.
It is too late for such expedients. The
Radical banditti must stand on its record.
Spasmodic virtue will not save it. The
strength of the Radical party is in its
corruption and the cohesive power of
public plunder. The question to be de
termined in this centennial year is
whether it is stronger than the people.
Upon the result of that issue depends
the life of the American Republic.
The New York Tribune says: “Ru
mors of a direful conspiracy against the
carpet-baggers of Florida are coming to
hand. Mr. John Tyler, a son of Presi
dent Tyler, is in the field as a reform Re
publican candidate for the Governorship,
and is said to be backed by a formidable
support. The scalawags of all parties
are concentrating against him, but it is
thought he will win the nomination in
sp : * c > of them.”
Senator Gordon’s Proposed Kerenae
Reform.
Senator Gordon’s proposition for re
forming the revenue service of the United
States seems to meet the approbation of
everybody except the Radical majority in
the Senate, and, judging from the zeal
and unanimity with which the leading
journals of the North of all parties are
advocating its adoption, Messrs. Mor
ton and Sherman will be forced to abate
their hostility to the proposed reform.
In another column we give an editorial
article from the New York Evening Post,
a leading Republican paper, heartily en
dorsing Senator Gordon’s plan. The
Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald, referring to the’debate in
the Senate on the introduction of
Senator Gordon’s resolution, says
“A genuine sensation has been made by
the speech of Senator Gordon on the
subject of revenue reform. That the
country is likely to be thoroughly stirred
by the matter is evidenced by the deluge
of letters which has already poured in
upon Senator Gordon, commending what
he has proposed. The Senator claims to
have shown from the records of the
Treasury Department the startling fact
that the government has been robbed of
not less than $1,000,000,000 in the past
thirteen years, no matter what has been
the political stripe of the several admin
istrations in power during that time. In
this connection the calculation is made
that, had the money thus misappropriated
been put where it belonged, the questions
of the currency and of the national
debt would not now distract the coun
try. Had the thousand millions stolen
by these officials and the hordes
of placemen under them been honestly
handled the national debt would be 1
than half its present size, and the finances
of the country would be on a specie pay
ment basis. Even now the sources of
revenue are so broad and yielding that
an honest collection of the revenue, such
as Mr. Bristow’s efforts would bring
about, is only necessary to insure the
easy payment of the national debt, the
reduction of the taxes and the restoration
of the currency to a specie standard. The
movement initiated by Senator Gordon
promises to become a revolution which
will sweep out political lives in the next
Presidential election.”
Grape Culture in the South.
Grape culture, it is well known, has
been extended over a vast area in the
State of California of late years, but that
the industry is being extensively pursued
in Ohio and Missouri is a fact that does
not appear to be so generally known.
Vinticulture is also reported to be
assuming some importance in South
Carolina. Practical experiment has
demonstrated that nearly every portion
of our own State is admirably adapted to
the culture of the grape, and to the pro
duction of native light wines of the best
quality, and at a handsome profit to the
vintner. The value of the California
crop is too well known 'to be re-stated
here; however, it is interesting to note
that the culture of the grape
the other States named has assumed
such proportions as to make it quite a
profitable industry. Indeed, the success
has been such, particularly in Missouri,
that the culture has been largely extended
and promises to rank among the im
portant interests of the State. On the
strength of the reported success alluded
to, parties interested in the agricultural
progress of the South are urging farmers
to raise the fruit wherever practicable.
The “scuppemong” variety is recom
mended, as it is said to produce a greater
weight of fruit than any other variety.
An interior Alabama contemporary has
the following on the subject:
Vines, six years transplanted, have this
year yielded an average of three bushels
to each vine, and we shall be disappoint
ed if they do not doable every year for
many years in the future. We are credi
bly informed that a vine is growing near
Mobile which has produced 250 bushels
of grapes in a year, and we know that
vines ten years old have given and will
give 30 bushels per vine. A bushel of
grapes will give from three to
three and a half gallons of
juice, according to ripeness. By
a simple calculation, based upon the
above facts, it can easily be seen that
grape culture is exccciiagly profitable.
Six-year-old vines will yield three bushels
of grapes, which will make ten gallons
of wine. Thirty-six vines to the acre
would give 360 gallons of wine, worth at
present prices, $720. According to the
statements given above, a ten-year-old
vineyard will yield 1,080 bushels, or 3,600
gallons of wine per acre, worth $7,200 in
the market. If you want to make money,
plant grape vines.
New Hampshire.—The Democratic de
feat in New Hampshire is explained by a
correspondent of the Chicago Times, who
a few days before the election wrote as
follows: “New Hampshire, taking it by
and large, without respect to particular
persons, parties and localities, is probably
the corruptest political hell-hole that ever
rejoiced the heart and replenished the
pocket of the marketable citizen. Argu
ments, disclosures, appeals, facts, all
;lide from the New Hampshire voter
like water from a duck’s back. If Jeff
Davis were the Democratic nominee, he
would poll as full a vote as Newman,
Tilden or Bayard, and the Republicans
would make as strong a run with Bab
cock or Boss Shepherd as with Bristow.
Ben Hill’s speech has been circulated
everywheie by the Republicans, and I
have before me a pamphlet, five hundred
copies of which have been sent to each
postmaster in the State, purporting to
give in letters from Savannah, Georgia,
the history of a plot for a new rebellion.”
The pamphlet here alluded to is, we
believe, an emanation of the Savannah
Custom House, and is one of the vilest
slanders ever perpetrated by Radical
mendacity.
Latest advices point to the speedy end
of the conflict between Egypt and Abys
sinia. The Abyssinians having lost their
Grand Vizier, half a dozen chiefs, and
left five thousand dead in the trenches,
are now suing for peace. It must
be remembered that this has not been a
war for conquest; at least the Khedive so
assured the world. Egypt pounced upon
Abyssinia just as an active man would go
for a mob of unruly boys who had tres
passed on his property. The war was
begun simply as an action for trespass.
Flushed with success, it would not be
strange if the Khedive should be a little
obstinate and allow his victorious officers
to talk him into annexation. There was
a time when England would have ordered
a halt in the Egyptian advance, but the
times have changed, and it is barely pos
sible that the news of annexation would
not reach London.
The Republican party is no more a hell
of corruption now than it was ten years
ego and has been all the time. It only
required a Democratic majority in the
House of Representatives to take the lid
off.
Rather than administer the communion
to one who does not believe in a personal
devil, the Rev. Flavell Cook, of Christ
Church, Clifton, England, has resigned
his living, worth £500 a year. The liti
gation in this case has filled a large space
in the English newspapers, the court of
last resort deciding that the recusent
member, one Mr. Jenkins, could not be
denied the communion because of his un
belief in the point stated.

SPENCER’S CA8E.
Washington, March 17.—The Spencer in
vestigation was taken up to-day by the Sen
ate Committee on Privileges and Elections.
Jno. J. Moulton was the only witness exam
ined, and in every material point he swore
directly to the reverse of his deposition
before the Alabama Investigating Commit
tee. He admitted that he signed the origi
nal deposition, which was presented, but
denied that it had been read to him or that
he knew its contents, and accused the Ala
bama Committee of having garbled and
misstated his evidence in essential particu
lars. He admitted that he had ueen ap
pointed Deputy Revenue Collector at Mo
bile under Levi H. Mayer, since his deposi

He states that the members of the Alabama
Committee were well known gentl men of
good repute. The investigation will be re

SUIT AGAINST AN ALLEGED DEFAULTER.
New York, March 17.—Suit has been
brought in the Supreme Court of this State
by Mre Union Consolidated Mining Com
pany of Tennessee against Julius E. Baht,
its former Superintendent, charging him
with defrauding the confpany in the
course of ten years out of $1,275,-
OuO, aud charging his brother, Charles
Raht the former Secretary, and
John Thomas, who was President until last
November, with conniving at and aiding in
the frauds of the first named defendant.
The method of the alleged frauds is assert
ed to have been through what is kaown in
England, and to some extent in this coun-
tiy, as the store system, by which claims
are paid from the company’s store in mer
chandise instead of cash.
THE NEGRO WAR.
Siebre Leons, March 17.—The war at
Cape Palmas is about ended. The latest
fighting was three weeks ago, when the
G re bos attacked the town of Lopman and
were repulsed with heavy loss. The United
States frigate Alaska has arrived at Cape
Palmas, aud the Captain was instructed to
arbitrate between the Liberians and the
Grebos. There was to be a meeting on the

24th of February, and was buried with mili
tary honors the uext day.
THE LONDON STOCK MARKET.
London, March 17.—After the regular

general relapse in prices. Two failures pc-
curred this morning. The liabilities of
each are small. Business is restricted and
home railways depressed by the large quan
tity of stock thrown on the market in conse

New Hampshire has gone Republican
by about a thousand majority. The
Democrats concede the election of Gov.
Cheney, and of a majority in both houses;
the Republicans claim that they will
have from fifteen to twenty-five majority
in the House, and from seven to nine of
the twelve Senators. It is what every
body has expected who read the Tribune
correspondence; and the methods of the
campaign ought Dot to leave the victoiy
much significance as a move on the
national field. Nevertheless it will have
it. Every gratified party paper will to
morrow be shouting : “New Hampshire
leads the way !” And the moral weight
of this cry will be a distinct and tangible
influence in the politics of the year.

UNEARTHING CORRUPTION.
Washington, March 17.—The number and
extent of the investigations that are being
carried on before the various Congressional
committees are unprecedented in any pre
vious Congress, as the following partial list
will show:
The Judiciary Committee, through seve
ral sub-committees, is taking testimony in
the matter of the Belknap impeachment,
the Beardslee cadetship purchase, and of
the Texas and Pacific Railroad legislation.
The Committee on Foreign Affairs, be
sides the question of Cuban complications
in connection with the State Department,
has to grapple with the Emma mine scandal,
which is to be reopened early next week.
The Ways and Means Committee, in the
intervals of its discussi on of the tariff bill
and giving audience to bankers in connec
tion with the funding law and to deputa
tions of the wine and spirits and other
trades, pursues an investigation into the
operations of the Alaska Fur Company.
The members of the Committee on Naval
Affairs give their whole time to the investi
gation of supposed frauds in the Navy De
partment proper and in several navy yards.
Not more than two-thirds of the testimony
taken at Norfolk has yet been transcribed
by the stenographers, and now a sub-com
mittee is at woik at Kittery navy yard ; and
after finishing up that investigation
Charlestown Navy Yard is to be overhauled
by the same gentleman. Mr. Wells, of New
York, in the meantime, has been pursuing,
as a committee of one, minute researches
into everything connected with the dis
cipline, aud expects next week to open up
an investigation at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
This Naval Committee, with its several
branches, is accumulating material that will
make as many volumes as the Ku-Klux
ontrages report.
Tho Committee on Military Affairs finds
work enough in endeavoring to throw light
on some of the dark spots connected with
the soldiers’ tombstone contracts.
The Committee on Printing labors quietly,
but assiduously, in piling up facts aud fig
ures bearing on the cost of the government
printing office, which, according to tho
estimate of experts outside, is fully fifty per
cent, more than it ought to ho, it ran as a
government printing machine.
The Committee on Expenditures in the
Interior Department of Justice are goiog
very deeply into the maladministra
tion of officials in Georgia and elsewhere,
and also are looking scrutinizingiy into the
minor expenses of their departments, par
ticularly in the matter of furniture, etc.
The Committee on Expenditures in the
War Department looms up over ail the rest
by its big bonanza discovery of the Fort
SiU tradership. It holds daily sessions, and
is the happy hunting grounds of the gentle
men of the press.
The select Committee on the Freedman’s
Bank is the most methodical of the com
mittees. Ever since its appointment early
in the session it has met on alternate days
and sits from 10 till 12. The testimony
taken by it is very important, particularly
as revealing the manner in which the funds
of the bank were frittered away in loans
without adequate security.
In the Beardslee cadetship case to-dav be
fore a sub-committee of the Judiciary Com
mittee, young Beardslee himself was exam
ined. Ho testified that on his way to Ala
bama to make up a constructive residence,
he called at the houso of Lilly, the
Washington broker who obtained
the appointment for him, and was there
introduced to Mr. Chas. Hays, of Alabama,
the member who gave the appointment. He
said that Mr. Hays expressed the hope that
he (Beardslee) would not fail to pass his ex
amination, as the two boys whom he had
previously appointed had done. It is under
stood that Hays will submit a statement to
the committee.
Governor Campbell, the Third Asssistaut
Secretary of State, appeared before the War
Expenditures Committee in explanation of
the charge made against him in the New
York Herald, relative to his securing the
appointment of post traderships. He denied
every reflection upon him contained in the
article. He said he had in no manner been
connected with the sale of post traderships,
nor had any one for him.
The Republican caucus to-day unanimous
ly agreed that the necessary efficiency of the
civil service would be seriously impaired if
a sweeping redaction be made throughout
all its branches by the application of the
reported policy of the House Committee to
set down.nearly all salaries ten per cent, and
the force employed twenty per cent.; and,
also, that the action of the House in propos
ing to abolish a number of our missions to
South America, aud to reduce the salaries
of our principal ministers in Europe is un
wise and impolitic.
THE RED MEN.
Chicago,. March 17.—The following tele
gram has been received at Sherman’s head
quarters from Gen. Terry, commanding the
Department:
The following is just received, dated i.t
the Mouth of the Big Horn, March 6 : “I
arrived at Fort Pas on March 6th, and re
lieved the garrison. The fort was evacuated
to-day at noon. The original garrison con
sisted of 46 men,of whom six were kiiied aud
eight wounded. Thirteen had left, and
gone to tho settlements by night. I found
in the fort eighteen white men and a negro.
Saw no Indians, but found five lodges here
of about sixty Sioux, who fled South. I
think they were watching the fort to pick
up the men who ventured out. We start for
home to-morrow.
[Signed] Bristin, Commanding.
Cueyenne, March 17.—On the evening of
the 15th Mr. Fielding came into Fort Fetter-
man from the camp at old Fort Reno, hav

command. On the 7th Crock left the main
camp at Fort Reno, taking a pack train aud
fifteen days’ rations.
ENGLISH GRAIN MARKET.
London, March 17.—The Liverpool bread-
stuffs circular says the tempestuous weather
and heavy rain and sieet have caused gen
eral complaint from the country districts,
not only for chances for sowing interrupted,
but weeks may elapse before the land can be
got into condition again. The farmers’
stocks of wheat are short and shipments
from abroad are light, with a generally re
vived demand. English has advanced a
shilling per quarter this week. Foreign on
spot is also rather dearer. Sellers to-day
obtained two per cent, advance on white
and from a penny to two pence on red. A
fair business ha* been done in corn, dry par
cels of new bemg a shade dearer.
PREPARING TO UNLOAD.
Boston, March 17.—A conference of
prominent Republicans was held at Worces
ter yesterday. Between thirty and forty per
sons were present from different parts of
the State, it is understood that the object
of the meeting was to secure a State dele
gation to the National Convention which

anty of purity and ability. In reference to
the candidates for the Presidency, a ma
jority of those who expressed their views
favored Bristow or Adams.

will appoint a successor. Cardoza, Super
intendent of Public Education, will also re
sign.”

Memphis, March 17.—A dispatch from
Jackson, Miss., says the committee to in
vestigate the New Orleans, Jackson and
Graat Northern Railroad regarding the
