WEDNESDAY, MAY 3, 1876.
Jim Blaine, of Maine.
The backings and fillings—so to speak
—of Jim Blaine, of Maine, in bis efforts
to blunder out of the troubles into whioli
some of hia indiscreet party colleagues
have plunged him, do not seem to be alto
gather satisfactory to his fellow-members.
In spite of his elaborate expla
nations, in which—to quote the
florid, but somewhat obscure rhetoric
of the Washington agent of the
Associated Press—he “demolished the
unsubstantial fabric,” unanimous con
sent was yesterday asked and received to
allow the Judiciary Committee of the
House to investigate the little sixty-four
thousand dollars transaction which Mr.
Harrison, of Indianapolis, was so eager
to see explained in 1872, but which Mr.
Hollies said would kill Blaine as a Con
gressional aspirant. It remains to be
seen how effectually the investigation
about to be made will quench his Presi
dential prospects.
Kilbourne’s Little Game.
In view of the fact that the Sergeant-
at-Arms of t*>e House has been author
ized to <-mpioy counsel to assist him in
prosecuting an appeal from the decision of
Judge Cartter in the habeas carpus case of
Hallet Kilboume, the action of that body
in refusing to respond to the invitation of
that wily rascal is no longer mysterious to
outsiders. It seems clear that Kilbourne’s
letter to Speaker Kerr not only emanated
from a more fertile brain than his own,
but that it was part of a deliberate at
tempt on the part of the real estate
manipulators and those interested there
in, to entrap the Democratic members
into at least a semblance of acquiescence
in Judge Cartter's^decision. The major
ity of the House, however, in their cool
forethought appear to be more than a
match for the conspirators.
A Forthcoming Book bt Dr. Hay-
qood.—We learn with very sincere satis
faction *that Dr. A. G. Haygood, the
recent Sunday School Secretary of our
Church, and now the popular President
of Emory College, has prepared a
volume—now in press, and to be issued
in a few weeks—that treats of the spiritual
culture of children, and the relation of
parents, preachers, and Sunday school
teachers to this work. The introduction
is written by the venerable Dr. Lovick
Pierce. The book will be 12mo., of
about 400 pages, gotten up in the best
style, and bearing the title: Our Children:
I—The Family. II—The Sunday School.
We await with interest the appearance of
this important contribution to the litera
ture of the Church.—Southern Christian
Advocate, April 19.
Georgia Manufactures.—A very grat.
ifying fact, and one likely to be received
as evidence of the substantial prosperity
of the manufacturing interests of Geor
gia, is the announcement in our telegram 8
that the Eagle and Phoenix Manufactur
ing Company, of Columbus, yesterday
broke ground for the purpose of adding a
third mill to their already large estab
lishment.
This mill, to be known as No. 3, will
be completed in November, and will be
the largest in the South, containing two
thousand spindles and six hundred and
fifty looms. Our sister city of Columbus
is to be congratulated upon the number
and notable success of her manufactories,
all of which have been established since
the war on Georgia capital.
Revolutionizing the Telegraph.—
An ingenious New Yorker, named Fuller,
after experimenting for years, claims to
have invented a magneto-electric tele
graph machine which, it is claimed, will
produce a continuous electric current.
The chief advantages claimed for the new
instrument over the'old battery machines
are greater cheapness and greatly in
creased power, and it is said one of the
new machines now on exhibition is capa
ble of transmitting eight hundred words
a minute over eight hundred miles, or
fifteen hundred a minute over fifty miles.
It is operated by a small Baxter steam
engine, which consumes only two buckets
of coal a day.
The Prime Minister of Japan has given
official notice that hereafter all government
offices will be closed on Sundays, and will
only be open half a day c n Saturdays.
Heretofore all days in the month which
had a 1 or a 6 in their numerals were
counted as holidays. Now Sunday takes
the place of them. This is at least a con
cession in favor of the usages of Chris
tianity. There has been a great change
of national opinion in this respect during
the last three or four years. It is not so
much a tendency to adopt Christianity
outright as a disposition to tolerate the
philosophy of this religion.
The Foreign Relations Committee are
endeavoring to coax Schenck to tell
them whether he thinks it wrong for an
American Minister to engage in the sale
of stocks. Although the committee in
sist upon a direct answer to this ques
tion, the distinguished professor of poker
is very cautious in his replies. He is
evidently of the opinion that it would be
just as fatal to give his ideas in regard to
this matter as it would be to let his op
ponent at cards know whether he was
drawing for three of a kind, a full or a
straight flush.
A legislator, especially in Pennsyl
vania, oan have too much curiosity.
Our telegrams this morning relate the
melancholy case of a member from Phil
adelphia who, desirous of ascertaining if
the lobby spent any money in securing
votes, made the experiment himself.
This was too much for the virtue of his
fellow-members, and he was thereupon
hustled from his seat.
The pool arrangements of all boats
running between St. Louis and points on
the Mississippi, below Cairo, went into
operation Monday and are to hold for
two years. Rates were advanced to New
Orleans to 15 cents per cwt., and flour
to 30 cts per barrel.
The late floods in the Mississippi have
made a new cut-off aoross the peninsula
opposite Vicksburg, where General Grant
attempted to cut a canal to allow the
fleet to pass from Young's Point to below
the Confederate batteries.
England seems to be about to organize
a campaign against the King of Daho

Lelter From Carl Schurz
Carl Schurz has addressed an open
letter to a friend, explaining the ob
jects of the politicial conference which
has been oalled to meet in New York on
the 15th of May, and in which himself,
William Cullen Bryant and others will
participate. The design, so says Mr.
Schurz, is not to engage in the formation
of a new party, at least, not so long as
either of the old parties will show itself
equal to the demands of the hour, nor to
dictate nominations to either the Repub
lican or Democratic convention. But it
is intended to express the opinions of
those who are dissatisfied with the actual
condition of affairs, and who are deter
mined to secure, if they can, something
better, and wiil demand the nomination
of men whose whole public careers and
whose names are synonymous with ca
paoity and integrity. The conference
will ask for reform—within the parties, if
it ean be had; but, if neither party will
give it, the time for a new government
will have come.
Mr. Carl Schurz belongs to that trans
oendental, emotional school of politicians
who, like Iago, are nothing if not critical,
and, being hypercritical, amount to noth
ing as practical reformers. After helping
to build up the Radical faction, and to in
corporate into its creed its worst political
heresies, Mr. * Schurz became disgusted
with his political fellowship, and kicked
out of the Radical traces. With Sumner,
Greeley and a few more Radical vision
aries and impracticables, he succeeded in
inveigling the Democratic leaders into a
“new departure,” by which they betrayed
the inconsistency of their professions of
principle, stultified themselves, and
brought humiliation and disgraceful de
feat upon the Constitutional Democracy
in the last Presidential contest. Since
then Mr. Schurz and his corporal’s guard
of visionary followers have co
quetted with both political par
ties, blowing hot and cold from
time to time, as it suited their fancy
and holding themselves in readiness
to run with the hare and hold
with the hounds, whenever the
game is fairly up. Now, Mr. Schurz
and his little back parlor conclave come
to the front amVtalk about the necessity
of political reform, which they are will
ing to accept at the hands of either of
the existing parties, but to secure
which they threaten to form a new poli
tical party. It is not a very easy matter
to comprehend what Messrs. Schurz A
Ce. mean by reform, since they regard
such a thing as of possible accomplish
ment in the present utterly corrupt Radical
party, and are unwilling to accept the
principles, platform and record of the
Democratic party as a guarantee of the
governmental reformation which they
desire. If they were sincere in
their desire for the restoration
of honest constitutional government, they
would embrace the only practicable means
of bringing about that result. While the
Radical party remains in power there can
b9 no reasonable prospect of reform in
the government. The Democratic party
is the only organized party that can be
relied on to rescue the government from
Radical control. The overthrow of Radi
calism being the first practicable and
essential step towards reform, why do
not Mr. Schurz and his associates give
their aid to place the Democratic party in
power, and then seek through it the in
auguration of the reforms which they
desire ? It looks as if Mr. Schurz de
sires to play the part of the marplot
rather than that of the reformer.
Alike indifferent to the success of either
party, and seeking only the gratification
of their own transcendental notions, Mr.
Schurz and his associates seem ambitious
to dictate the nominees and platforms of
one or both of the existing political par
ties, when they will choose whether to
give their powerful support to either, or
inaugurate another “new departure.’’
This game, so successfully, yet so ruin
ously played in the last Presidential elec
tion, will hardly serve its purpose again.
The Democracy, with their past expe
rience, will hardly again compro
mise their principles, their consistency
and their self-respect, in the vain hope of
adding strength to their party by concili
ating a few disgusted Radical politicians,
and our transcendental reformers of the
Schurz and Bryant school will either have
to forego their aspirations for the resto
ration of honest government, or taking
the Democracy on trust, unite with them
in the only practicable means of accom
plishing that result.
Christian versus Pagan.
American civilization, as represented
by the God and-Morality slang-whangers
of New England, and some of their more
promising pupils on the Pacifio slope,
presents some curious phases. One of
these phases—disgraceful even to bar
barians and revolting«to the better class
of savages—is the ohronicle in our tele
grams of the wanton and ruthless destruc
tion on Sunday last of the dwelling
houses of the Chinese in the town of
Antioch, California. These unfortunate
Chinamen, it appears, were considerately
warned to leave the town, and the major
ity of them having bought dear expe
rience at the hands of the “ Christians ’’
among whom they were thrown upon
landing on our hospitable' shores,
made haste to desert their homes.
Those who remained, remained only
to see their property wantonly de
stroyed. That murder the most foul was
not added to ineendiarism the most hor
rible and disgraceful, was, perhaps, due
to the fact that the poor pagans made
no attempt to defend their property from
the attacks of the Christians. As it is,
the Christians, so-called, have set the
pagans an example of brotherly love and
piety that will, perhaps, not be altogether
lost upon them.
Opposed to Ring Rule.—The Augusta
Chronicle of yesterday, says: “We un
derstand that a small ring of very small
men will attempt to take charge of Rich
mond county in the coming campaign.
The ring numbers just men enough to fill
all the offioes. A prominent member is
a gentleman who has been seeking office
ever since he abandoned sugar-teats.
When the proper time arrives we shall
take great pleasure in exposing the
schemes of the ring, and in furnishing
sketches of the past and present history
of the members of this contemptible oa-
bal. We are glad to see that the Consti -
tutiunalist also seems opposed to the ring
rule in Richmond county.”
Next to Radical rule ring mle is the
greatest calamity that can befall any
civilized community, and our Augusta
cotemporaries will have our earnest
sympathy in their efforts to expose and
thwart the plans of the “contemptible
cabal” who are scheming to “take charge
of Richmond county in the coming cam
paign.” The honest Democratic masses
throughout the State should see to it that
the cause of Democracy is subjected to no
such reproach as ring rule.
The two Democratic Senators from the
State of Missouri are at the head of the

whisky thieves who were sent to the
penitentiary in that State. This - -ks

The Effect of Capt. Eads’s Jetties
Western Commerce.
Editor Morninq News:
If Capt. Eads’s jetties at the mouth of
the Mississippi succeed in permanently
deepening the channel, so that vessels
drawing twenty and twenty-two feet’ean
pass into the river without obstruction,
will not the Mississippi become, as it
were, a long inland sea, draining the pro
ducts of its valley and country adjaoent
by direct shipment for export, and deliv
ering along its banks the return imports ?
Such it seems must be the result, and
Memphis and New Orleans beoome the
two large cotton markets of the United
States. The Atlantia ports will be re
duced to their former commeroe and the
net work of railroads projected to
feed them will work backwards
towards the Mississippi. Savannah
formerly declined to subscribe to
the Memphis and Charleston Railroad
for the reason that she would derive little
if any benefit from it. Charleston sub
scribed $500,000,if we remember rightly,
and results up to the war proved the
wisdom of Savannah and the mistake of
Charleston. Now, if vessels of 2,500 to
3,000 tons.shall be able to pass directly
from the ocean into the river, the ex
penses of vessels will be so cut
down that freights from the Mississippi
will be little if any higher than with us,
and as navigation around the capes of
Florida is now clear and well defined,
insuiance will meet this improvement.
The South Pacific Railroad will find its
natural eastern terminus somewhere on
the bank of the Mississippi, and all the
schemes to direct its trade to Atlantic
ports oome to grief. Reasoning from
cause to effect, we have come to the
above apprehensions, and we should like
to see the subject handled by commer
cial experts. H. C. W.
The Baltimore Gazette, a bullion or
gan, says: “ Mr. Jones, of Nevada,
ought to be an authority upon silver, but
whether his views are right or wrong,
says the Philadelphia Times, they can
carry but little weight, for the simple
reason that he is not a disinterested au
thority. When a man who is known to
hold the largest stock of silver in the
world gets up to argue in favor of a
measure to increase its value, a skeptical
public may be pardoned if it declines to
accept his opinions without question.”
Will not the same argument apply with
equal force to the bondholders and money
monopolists. The shoddy millionaires of
the North and East hold the bonds of the
government, which they purchased, dol
lar for dollar, with greenbacks, when
greenbacks were at fifty and a hun
dred per cent, discount for gold.
They also hold the great volume of
the greenbacks with which the Rad
ical party has flooded the country.
Now, when these money monopolists
argue that the country must come at
once to specie payment, and that by sud
den contraction and other coercive legis
lation the “ rag money ” which they so
much deride must be forced to par for
gold, may not the non-bondholders—the
debtor classes—with equal propriety de
cline to accept their opinions without
question ?
One way of copducting a spelling bee
in England is to let one person begin
with a letter, the next one must add to it,
having a complete word in his head, and
so on, until some one finishes whatever
word may eventually be manufactured.
Says a writer in the Court Circular: “It
is astonishing how unfamiliar certain
combinations of letters sound when said
in this way. Thus I heard of a bee held
in a commercial room in a large hotel,
when the word had got as far as ZIN.
‘What on earth can zin be the beginning
of ?’ said the next man ; and as he was
so convinced there could be no word in
the language beginning in that way that
he made various bets against it, and then
challenged the last speaker—that is, asked
him to complete the word. ‘Zinc’ was
the answer, and thereupon the puzzled
one jumped up with a spasm of agony.
‘By Jove,’ he said, ‘and I trade in it my
self.’ That was the fact, he represented
a hardwarq firm, and sold zinc every day
of his life.”
Investigating Lawyer Wells.—The
House Judiciary Committee, in its inves
tigation into the present and pa3t record
of United States Attorney Wells, of the
District of Columbia, is understood to
have struck upon some interesting infor
mation. Mr. Prime, an internal revenue
official of Baltimore, has testified as to
facts concerning Mr. Wells’s administra
tion of the office of United States Attor
ney at Richmond. Mr. Prime testifies
that Mr. Wells, when United States Attor
ney at Richmond, dismissed a writ against
a large distillery which had been seized
for violation of the law, and for which he
had been counsel prior to his appoint
ment. Mr. Prime, who was instrumental
in the seizure, testified that the case was
a perfectly clear one, and that the gov-
emment lost $80,000 by this action of
Wells. He submitted to the committee
copies of the records which he had ob
tained from Richmond.
Important to Rice Men.—Rioe plant
ers, factors and others interested may not
be generally aware that an application is
now before Congress to admit rice im
ported from the Sandwich Islands free of
duty. The measure is urged by the San
Francisco Chamber of Commeroe, and
has, it is said, a good prospect to become
a law. Its passage by Congress would be
likely to have a most important influence
on the rice market. The Wilmington
Journal suggests that it would be well for
those immediately concerned to look into
and act upon the matter at once.
The work of contraction proceeds
apace, and will steadily continue till Jan
uary 1, 1879, uulesB the resumption act
is repealed. During the first half of the
present month, the national banks have
surrendered $1,800,000 of their currency:
that is, they have sent the amount of
greenbacks named to the Treasury and
withdrawn their bonds. The greenbacks
are thus effectually retired from circula
tion for the time being, while years may
be consumed in fishing the national bank
notes out of the general volume of cur
rency.

A queer case came to the surface of a

woman, standing in a crowded street car,
and not holding to the strap, was thrown
down by the jar in stopping the car, and
sued the company for a fractured knee
cap. The Judge charged that the women
are bound to hold on to the straps, “if they
can do it conveniently,” but, at the same
time, are not to be held so strictly to the
rule as men. The jury gave the plaintiff
a verdict for five thousand five hundred

St. Louis, May 2 A special dispatch to
the Republican from Jefferson City says the
friends of Wm. McKee visited General Mc
Donald and Colonel Joyce in the peniten
tiary with the view of procuring the prison
ers’ affidavits to the effect thatFitzroy’s tes
timony that Joyce had paid McKee $480 of
ring money at the Supervisor’s office was
false. Joyce stated to these gentlemen that
Fitzroy’s testimony was a wilful lie, and Mc
Donald said Fitzroy was never in his (Mc
Donald’s) offioe when McKee was there; but
neither McDonald nor Joyce would make
sworn statement on the ground that they
were being very closely watched, and that
self-preservation was the first law of nature.
Other parties left here last night for Jeffer

of the French Consul that the prisoners
