V ne Igaratag §ta»s .f. nsr LTj, Proprietor. No. :{ WHITAKEK STKKEtF (HORNING N2WS BUILDING) ’ ' w. T. TOOKHW, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 22, 1876. Bishop Gil Haven. Cariosity is expressed in some quarters to know whether that immaculate apostle of miscegenation and higher law morality is as strongly in favor of Grant for a third term as he was before the Babcock '•nd Belknap scandals. Tbbse who know him best are f the opinion that recent developments hava only strengthened his devotion to the worthy head of his pirty. J ppropos of old Gil: his appear- nee a few days since, as pre siding officer a* the fifty-second ses- tion of the Pittsburgh Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church brought the following story to the recollection of the correspondent of the Pittsburgh Chroni- tfc “Dr. Newbr.ll, the former President of the Delaware College, and a personal friend of Bishop Haven, was very sick. The disease fill* d the poor man's mind with all sorta t vagaries. For many days he th»- Limself immortal, and refused to eat anything whatever. The Bishop happened to visit him at this time, and tried to prevail upon his sick friend to take some nourishment. ‘No • I do not want anything.’ said he. *1 am immortal. I am in heayen. This is heaven.’ Then pausing for a moment and looking at his visi tor with a troubled air, he said : ‘But, Haven, how in the world did you get •Jhere ? You are tne last person I expected to see in this place.’ ” Reform in Massachusetts. A number of Massachusetts It publi cans, disposed towards reform, have met \ in council with a view to promote the 'omination of a man of high ca trader, ability and statesmanship as a Republican candidate for the Presidency. The names of Adams and Bristow found the most fa^or among them. The more thoughtful men in ‘.be Republican party pre fully alive to the dangers of the hour, and to the necessity cf a sounder and safer posi tion tbpn that now occupied. There is an unusual fermentation in both parties just now, end the friends of reform find that they have already made an impress ion. The Poston Radicals seem to be fully impressed with the necessity of reforming the corruption which permeates their party from the highest to the lowest. But the difficulty is to find leaders whose characters will boar investigation. Judg ing from recent disclosures Diogenes "inight search through x he ranks of the Rdaical party with a locomotive head-light for a lantern and not find an honest man. The truth that the people of Massachu setts and of the entire country have yet to realize is that the principles of the Radical party are utterly inconsistent with either true patriotism or honesty. Radicalism, rascality and rottenness are synonomous terms. Toj Virtuous for Its Party. The Boston Advertiser will have to be voted out of the Radical faction; it is en tirely too honest to be an organ of the “party of moral ideas.” Commenting on tbe w* clesale bribery by which ♦he New Hampshire Red ; "' 1 'incrf° , ':d th^- E a- jonty ’j ‘he r: .ut ele»Y~r\ *t says “There is nc . ,3 as goc ' ; - v o j- esent to say that some of the r srr“’oyei bv tc-b parties in endeavoring to trrv t!is' '- , ’on—* test, every '’ectic * in the last ten y.ars—are sc«i.J.aiour end disgraceful. It is no excuse for ei'-er party to plead the practice of the otl cr. Both are equally guilty. Both use open bribery to secure votes for themselves or to induce opponents not to vote. T .e public conscience seems to be altoget :r demoralized when it is a question of saving or gaining a vote. We rejoice over the triumph in New Hampshire so far n & it is a victory of good principles over bad, but we regret it so far as it is a tri umph of trickery and of money. If the Republicans of New Hampshire want reform, let them begin at home and reform themselves. In their way they have done things quite as bad as that for which the country condemns Belknap. The political atmosphere is foul with the corrup tion. If the party cannot win without bribe ry let it turn its attention to awakening the public conscience, and. meanwhile, leave bribery and political success to the party which has no scruples on the subject in any State.” Why, this sort of talk in a Radical paper is what honest Dogberry would have called “flat burglary.” To talk about the Radicals wanting reform—to say that the New Hampshire Radicals are no better than Belknap—to inveigh against bribery and corruption, and even propose to awaken the public conscience. I'rom a Radical standpoint this sort of counsel is downright treason. Does not the editor of the Advertiser know that corruption and bribery is the life-blood J of his party, and that the “awaken ing of the public conscience” would be the death-knell of Radicalism? He ought to know that the day is passed when elections in this country are to be carried by app : !• to the intelligence and patriotism of .’:e people, and majorities are detersio?*.7 :s ballots of honest voters. He cv'ght to know that it is by •orruption and bribery, and appeals to the passions, pre V dices Fud se> tional hatred of the people, that hie party is maintain- ! ed in power. He should know that the 1 reliance of the banditti who now ha~e ! possession of the government, is in bri bery at the North and bayonets at the 3outL. To talk of honesty, patriotism and conscience, is to invoke the overthrow of Radicalism with its usurpation, corrup tion and robbery, and all the other “le gitimate results of the war. ” Mr. Dana the Victim of States’ Bights. It will be seen by our Washington dis patch that the Senate Committee has re ported against confirming Mr. Richard H. Dana’s appointment as Minister to Great Britain. The Chicago Tribune, in backing up Mr. Dana’s appoW~ient, takes occasion to explai r *13 caur" :f ihr opposition to his confirciatior d teemf the'. Lb Lawrence had edited an edition of I'beaten Mr. Dan- was after wards prevail* ">yc~ by ,T heaton • repreeer'stives tdit a second edition of the same work i» order, says the Truaine, “to counteract. the pernicious influence of Mr. Law rence’s annotations, which were all dic tated by his devotion to Calhounism. Lawrence put forth these notes at a time when the interpretation of the States’ rights doctrine had an important bearing on the relations between the United States and England, and it was felt that he had misconstrued Wheaton in many important particulars.” When Dana had published his edition, Lawrence sued him for infringement of copyright. On the trial it was proved that Dana had made copious use of Lawrence’s notes. The case is still undetermined in the courts: but the attempt of Mr. Daua to doctor Lawrence’s States’ rights interpre tation of Wheaton to suit the Massachu setts Radicals of the present day, with Beast Butler’s opposition, has deprived him of the English mission. Good for Stales’ rights. As all the gushers, all the sightseers and everybody else who can find nothing better to do with their money, are going to Philadelphia this year, of course the criminal classes will be there in force. The Mayor of the Quaker City antici pates this, and he is very wisely advo cating au increase of the police force during the continuhnce of the exhibition. Inside the Centennial grounds six hun dred men will do police duty under the direction of the Centennial authorities, but their expenses will not be defrayed by the city. On the outside the demand for social protection is increased, and no preparations have yet been made to meet it. For several months the city will pos sess an increased population with multi plied interests. The thinly-settled por tions will suddenly become densely popu lated with considerai le more life and p-o- erty to look after than at present. A Philadelphia paper says the thieves are in the vicinity now, doing a small busi- "'.zs to pay expenses until the harvest i seasor arrives, and suggests that a few hundred vigorous policemen in addition to the present force would not be too many to give to these light-fingered and midnight gentlemen the reception they deserve.

I All Alike.—Wherever, says the Hart ford Times, the probe is thrust in the executive departments at Washington, there is found official corruption. Even the Pension Office is about as bad as the rest.

Eis estimate proves tc *03 below the reality. This serite disbursed II.

The office expenses and disburs ing agencies consume $1,071,779. It thus appears that four per cent, on the total amount pa*.d to annual pensioners is appropriated for the official machinery to get the money into their hands. The Pezision Office, like all other branches of " the public service, is corrupt, inefficient, and directed by favoritism. The widows and orphans of : ldiers are systematically robbed.

It is folly to ignore the fact that all of the West and a fair proportion of finan ciers in the East, look upon the existing legislation as worse than a farce—it is criminal trifling with the vital interests of a great people. Neither party will be able to adopt specific measures and dates for resumption at their national conven tions. A compromise of ambiguities will take place, or there will be three if not four Presidential candidates in the field. Mr. Schell’s Syracuse Convention has proved this beyoDd a question.

Committees have been appointed in the House to investi gate charges against C. W. Buttz, solici tor of the Charleston circuit, and Judge S. -J. Mackey. The Charleston News and Courier Colombia special soys that the charges against the former are black mailing and oorrupt and fraudulent prac tices in office. Against Mackey the charges will number over one hundred, comprehending every crime in the calen dar, from judicial murder down to tbe packing of a jury. It is thought that the Committee of tie House, upon the evi dence which will be laid before them, cannot fall to recommend Mackey s im peachment. In tbe meantime Judge Montgomery Moses, brother of Chief Justice Moses, is being tried for various crimes, with the almost certain prospect of impeachment.

In thisccnneoticn, ihe St. Louis Re% b- Hcan calls attention to the constantly increasing superabundance of nickels with which the country is flooded. The^e coin, says the Republican, pass for five cents, although the metal in one of them is worth less than two cents. This depreciated currency is, in the natural course of things, forced almost exclusively on the Taboring’ or poorer classes. The Treasury professes to be ready to redeem our fractional paper currency in silver, but no silver half-dimes are provided to take up the comparatively worthless nickels. Why is thir thusness? Do certain parties hold a monopoly of the only nickel mine in the country, and was the tariff on that metal specially designed to “protect” these monopolists ? Who gets the profit on making nickels and making them so abundantly ? Is it all government profit. Or is it another case of “addition, divis ion and silence ?” Nassau, March 18, 1876.

Washington, March 21.—In tbe Senate, a comr ittee of conference was asked on the Vest Point appropriation. The diplomatic bill was reported with a number of amendments. Butler, before tbe War Department Ex penditures Committee, relieved Smith from his pledge of secresy. Butler knew noth ing. He had carried on an investigation on bis private account for bis own purposes, aud bad his suspicions, but nothing tangible. He thought it strange that Pendleton should have his fee cut up, and that the amount received by Mrs. Bowers should fit one of the parts. He left the committee with the impression that he knew some thing which they had not the shrewdness to elicit. In the Senate, Gordon presented petitions from Brunswick and Macon, Ga., for harbor improvements. The bill for the relief of the heirs of Gen. James H. Carleton passed. The bill to provide for the counting of the electoral vote was resumed, but no action was taken. Confirmations: Jacob Alexander, Post master at Washington, Miss. The Committee on Foreign Relations re ported adversely on Daua as Minister to England. The House Committee on Expenditures in the Treasury Department are instructed 10 inquire into the management and disposi tion of captured aud abandoned property. Ihe bill to amend the laws regulating commerce, navigation and steamboats is the special order for Tuesday next. The bill authorizing the transfer of cer tain causes lrom the Circuit Court of the United States for the District ot Alabama at Mobile to the Circuit Court of the United States for the Middle and Northern Dis tricts of Alabama at Montgomery and Huntsville, passed. The bill making it penal for officers of the government to solicit or make contributions to elections, with amendments including Senators and members of Congress, is pend ing. Three members of Congress have permis sion, by resolution of the House, to appear before the grand jury in the real estate pool case. Edwin Booth realized $52,000 by his Southern tour. Gen. Butler has given confidentially the names of certain parties, who are now in New Orleans, who claim to know about Mrs. Bowers receiving money from Pendleton. The Star says it i- generally believed they are Mrs. Gen. Roddy and Mrs. Gou. Ben nett. Evaus, post trader at Fort Sil 1 , generally substantiates Marsh. Evaus paid Gen.

[From the Buena Vista Argus.] We do not make it a practice to take sides in a quarrel between two cotempo raries, because we do not believe it to be right. But in the Atlanta Constitution- 8-wanxae News controversy we think that justice to the injured party demands * -hat we file our condemnation of the vile ; attempt of the Atlanta Constitution to j ‘arnish the personal character of Mr. • T . H. Estill, proprietor of tbe Savannah I tws. The Constitution received from Joe Brown and H. L Kimball five ($5,000) thousand dollars for its influence in pro curing the lea<e of the State Road. This was clearly a bribe and altogether a “c*ooked” transaction, deserving the severest condemnation. The Savannah News discharged its duty to the public by condemning the unrighteous trans action. The Constitution, glorying in its venality, attempts to prove that J. H. Estill. of the Savannah News, was equally guilty, but signally fails. Deeply chagrined at its failure to convict Colonel Estill, it makes the bold charge that Colonel J. H. Estill bad, in the conduct of his business, been guilty of a peniten tiary offense, and promised rich develop ments on ihe morrow. On the morrow, however, the exposures did not appear, but in their place the following con temptible evasion: “Itis proper and just, however, that we should say, that in charging that the Savannah News proprietor had been guilty of a penitentiary offense, we had reference solely to the procurement of his election as State Printer, through the payment of sums to various parties to in fluence votes in his behalf. This we be lieve to be in violation of tbe spirit if not the letter of the law proscribing im prisonment as the penalty for farming out the offices of the State. 01 trading in or for them a violation of the law too often committed, and which should be broken up.” The Constitution was candidate at the same time for State Printer, and made use of the samr mean3 to insure its elec tion, i. e., making combinations with othei newspapers and dividing the work so as to insure success. This practice has been in vogue os far back as we can remember; and, in our opinion, is per fectly just, honorable and right, for by it the newspapers of the State get a portion of the Printer’s fund, which would other wise go to one man or firm. Col. Estill is blameless in this matter, and the true charpcter of the Atlanta Constitution is unveiled to the public. It is guilty of selling its opinions for moneyj slandering an honest name and as corrupt as a news paper can be. It is altogether unworthy of public confidence or patronage.

Y., of the suit of Josephine Ash, by her guardian, against Henry Astor, who is said to be a member of the Astor family of New York city, to recover $20,000 damages for al leged cruelty to her when a child, where by her spine was permanently injured, was concluded on Tnursday by a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for the full amount claimed. Mr. Astor denied tbe charges flatly. The court allowed the plaintiff *1,000 additional for costs. The verdict gives general satisfaction to the ommunity, in which Astor is very un- prpular. The charge against Astor was that hav ing asked the child if she evt r saw him drunk, she replied in the affirmative, when he knocked her off the chair on which she was sitting, causing the injury which rendered her a cripple for life. The chief witness for the plaintiff was the girl’s father. The simple method of guarding against losses by the robbery of coupon bonds is to cut the entire sheet of coupons off and place it in one depository, while the body of the bond is kept in another. The bond without the coupons being unsaleable, and the coupons being collectable only one by one as they mature, the thief who fails to secure both gains comparatively little by his crime, while the true owner, by proving title to the part which re mains in his possession, has good ground for deui&ndiDg from the company issuing the security a duplicate of the other. The New York Sun says this plan is already followed by numbers of capital ists. Hulleck, the man who stole, or rather helped to steal, a package of $47,000 from the United States Treasury, has been tried and convicted. Halleck had a confederate, but was not one of the ring. Had he belonged to the District ring, or the whisky riDg, or the trading post ring, he would no more have been convicted than was Babcock, although the evidence against him had been as conclusive as that against the ex-private secretary. It all depends upon a govern ment thief’s affiliations, whether, being tried for his offenses, he will be acquitted or convicted. Jay Gould, the speculator, reports over seven millions profits on tbe busi ness of the Union Pacific Railroad last year.

Barrett, who sailed for Europe onSaturdav, has com? mitted forgeries to the amount of $300,000. His law partners and friends deny that hp has committed any crime, but admit him insolvent. He has been prominent,’socially and politically, in New 1’ork,and was believed 4o be yery wealthy. alfonso’s grand entb?. London, March 21.—The Aeirs has the following details from Madrid: “King Al fonso was received with real enthusiasm. On leaving the Church of Atocha he re viewed the troops marching past, which oc cupied six hours. A procession, with ban ners inscribed 'Catholic Unity,’was prevent ed from entering Puerta del StL The pro hibition was much — J CAPITAL news and notes. Washington, March 21.—Some of the members of the Committee on Foreign Re lations regard Dana’s letter as a direct in sult, and all regard it as highly offensive■. The diplomatic and consular appropria tions bill, as reported from the Senate com mittee to-day, contains all the provisions for consulates and foreign missions that was included in last year’s bill and recommended by the State Department this year. The missions and redactions of k ilary propos J by the House are in every instance cisagrred to by the Senate c. mmittee. T_3 principal contest will be in egard tc the .uuse s action in red’ ing the salaries of our Min isters to Eoglau Trance aud Txasia, and its proposed abolition o r sundry miraiont; to South America. The Committee of Ways and Moans had a sescion of two houn aud a baif to-day on Morrison’s tpriff bill. The firct section, treating of the revision of the duty ou cot- J ton, was c -r.sidered and ab«.at one-third of it passed upon. The entire section will be finished to-morrow. There seems less dis position to disagree about*perfectiDg a bill than was heretofore anticipated. I he duty on uubleached cotton, proposed by Morri son, at two and a hxlf cents per yard, was raised to three by the com ml.tee. ” Morrison is sanguine that the bill, as perfected by the committee, will pass the House. The grand jury have indicted Bryant & Craig, of Missouri, for presenting a fraudu lent claim for mules. The claim was for $25,600, and was paid. The President bas received Mann l M. Peralter, the new Minister from Costa R ea. The arrangement for the sa;e of the New Idria quick silver mine to Moa'gomery Blair, contemplates the formation of a new company, iu which MoGarrahau will have a large interest, and is the result of E rivate offers of compromise made to im by the officers of the Now Idria Com- any six m nths ago. If the arrangement e fully consummated, it will remove lrom the courts, the Executive Department and Congress, a controversy which has existed many yearf, and which has acquired his toric interest. The property is considered to be worth much more than one million dollars, the purchase price reported. FROM MEXICO. Galveston, March 21.—The News's Brownsville special contains tho following: A dispatch received to-day from Rio Grande city states that news had been received there of a battle at Oaxaca in Mexico, in which the government forces were defeated, with tho loss of one thou sand five hundred men, aud all their artil lery and wagons captaied. No further par ticulars were to hand. The news comes over the Mexican Government wires to Camargo, and may be considered reliable. Another social from Brownsville to the Neics says the revolution on the Rio Grande progresses slowly. Gonzales and Pena are still near Matamoras, and Leberra, with a small force, remains iu the city, bat is sbon of ammunition, having yesterday requested of Colonel Poiter a loan of five hundred ponnds of powder which was refused. It is said Leberra baa been ordered to pro ceed with all his men to Monterey to join Tuero, which will leave Caipo in charge of a national guard who will doubtless pronounce in favor of Diaz as soon as tho regular troops leave, and Diaz will take quiet possession. It is doubtful !l Leberra will reach Monterey withauy part .f his forces, as the revolutionists have ,tj:ong bodies of men, well officered, on all the roads leading to Monterey. The un popularity of president Lerdo’s official acts make the overthrow ot the government party on the frontier almost a certainty. THE COLUMBIA IMPEACHMENT TRIALS. Charleston, March 21.—'The Colombia impeachment trial of Circuit Judge Mont- i ;omery Moses, the uncle of ex-Governor loses and a brother of Chief Justice Moses, was concluded in the State Senate to-day by the conviction of the accused aud his lormsl removal from office. The principal Charge was embezzlement of trust fluids custody of his court. The vote upon most of the impeachment articles was nearly unanimous for convic tion, and the Investigating Committee of the House of Representatives has presented a resolution of impeachment against C. W. Butts, solicitor ot the Charleston circuit, and a contestant in Congress for tbe seat of Representative Mackey. The charges *re conspi’acy, with criminal official cor ruption and systematic black-mailing COAL BARGES SUNK.

This fund was originally created by an act of Congress of 1790, I which set apart the government’s share ' of all prize money for that fund, t ie in terest of which was to be used for the benefit r * disabled officers and seamen and the widows of those who died from wounds receive4 in the line of duty. Prior to 18f}8 this fund bore six per cent, interest, but it was then reduced to the present rate, which yields $540,000 a year. In consequence of this reduction the rates of pension paid were also re duced, being cut down over one-third, ^wf) there ho* always been complaint at the small pittance paid to many worthy pensioners. At the present session of CongreBS, petitions have been presented for an increase in these naval pensions, and the subject is now before the Pension Committee of each house.
