1 UKSIUY, MAT 9.1876.
The Naval Bill.—The House Com
mittee on Appropriations have made
sweeping reductions in the naval appro
priation bill, which was reported to the
House on Friday. Under its provisions,
if adopted, Brooklyn, League Island,
Norfolk and Mare Island alone are to re
tain their yards in full force, while the
Secretary of the Navy is directed to
make the best terms possible for the sale
of the yards at Washington, Charlestown
and Pensacola. The committee do not
propose to let Washington city have
even the Naval Hospital if the Secretary
of the Navy can sell it, and the hospital
at Aunapolis is also to be subject to sale.
The amount appropriated, nearly thirtoen
millions of dollars, is five or six millions
below the estimates. The Secretary of
the Navy is directed to establish a naval
rendezvous at Tybee Island, or at Cock-
spur, in the State of Georgia, and to
make available any government property
at said islands suitable for such purposes.
The bill further provides that the num
ber of persons who may at one time be
enlisted into the navy, including seameu,
ordinary seamen, landsmen, mechanics,
firemen, coal-heavers, apprentices and
boys, shall not exceed 7,500.
Tbouble in the Black Hills.—As
was to have been expected the Sioux
have finally determined to resent the
forcible seizure of a portion of their
territory by gold hunters, and have al
ready killed and wounded quite a num
ber of whites. The unauthorized occu
pation of the Black Hills cannot, says the
Washington Star, be justified on any
principle of right and fair dealing, and
those who found their way there against
the wishes of the government and the
Indians should have understood that in
thus forcibly possessing themselves of
other men’s property they were taking
their lives in their own hands, and could
not in justice ask the protection of the
military. Judging from late accounts
the expeatations of the gold hunters have
not been realized, and they would now
be glad to get away with their lives from
the region which a few months ago they
looked upon as a new Eldorado.
The law committee of the Brooklyn
Board of Education recommend the non
employment of married women as teachers
in the public schools, not because the
bare entering upon the matrimonial rela
tion involves any duties hostile to those
required of the teacher, but because
those duties necessarily prevent the per
formance of the duties required of the
teachers. The board finally amended the
rule so that when a female teacher mar
ries, her place shall become vacant, but
such marriage shall not be a bar to her
re -appointment, if the board deem it ex
pedient to continue her services. This
virtually nullifies the rule, the only ad
vantage being that it will give the board
an excuse for dropping such teachers as
they regard incompetent or unworthy.
Kx-Governor Henry A. Wise, in his
argument before the House Election
Committee in the contest of Platt vs.
Goode, describes the Conservative party
of Virginia as composed of saur-kraut
Democrats, red-waisted Whigs and Gree-
leyites, and said that under no circum -
stances would he ally himself to such an
organization. Politics in Virginia, he
said, were so much Democratic that even
the trees wept turpentine. When he was
Governor he would have hanged Greeley
had he caught him. He praised General
Grant as a magnanimous hero, and wor
thy to receive the sword of Robert E.
Lee.
When Queen Victoria started on her
present Continental trip, all trains on the
railway from London to Portsmouth were
stopped to allow her a free and safe pas
sage; all the stations were also blocked
up and put under ban to curious sight
seers hungry for a peep at Her Majesty
and the royal train. The Queen dreads
any further Mistletoe anecdotes.
If Grant were to take it in his head to
have the whole track to himself every
time he goes a junketing, the suspension
of railroad traveling in portions of his
empire would be annoyingly frequent.
Ex-President Domingue’s mode of levy
ing back pay failed disgracefully. Pre
paratory to leaving Hayti for the coun
try’s good he took $100,000 in gold from
the bank at Port-au-Prince and shipped
it on a vessel in the harbor. The ship,
however, obstinately refused to sail, and
the money was recovered for the bank
treasury. The President’s example was
not lost on the mob, for they immediately
plundered all that he had left.
The New York Herald says there is a
prospect that both of the great English
universities will send crews to the Cen
tennial regatta at Philadelphia. The
Other day it appeared that Oxford would
send a crew if Cambridge also sent one,
and now it seems that Cambridge is
willing if one can be obtained. As
neither of our Savannah clubs, the Ver
non nor the Couper, hpv3 entered for the
Centennial prize, the English university
clubs may stand some chance of winning.
Senator Norwood and Stars in door*
rta.
In casting the political horoscope of
late, several of our contemporaries have
assumed that Senator Norwood is to van
ish from the scene and his place be sup
plied by some gentleman of their own
providing. On this subject the Athens
Watchman remarks as follows:
We have recently seen several sugges
tions and “feelers” in the newspapers as
to Senator Norwood’s successor. We
have not yet seen the slightest intima
tion that that gentleman is unwilling to
be selected a second time, but all seem to
take it for granted that he is to be dis
placed. This, in view of the fact that
we have not seen one word of complaint
against him, strikes us as being rather
singular.
It has been openly charged, from time
to time, in certain of our exchanges, that
there is a “ring” or “clique” manipula
ting affairs in Georgia. We know noth
ing about the truth of this, but must say
it looks suspioious, to say the least of it.
It will be well for the people—the honest
voters—to look into this matter.
It is not our purpose, however, to get
after the “ring” until we are satisfied it
exists and succeed in finding out some
thing about it.
Our present object is merely to remark
that if Senator Norwood declines a re-
election, or it shall be thought advisable
by the party to put some one else in his
place, that Ben Hill stands a full head
and shoulders higher than any other man
named as his successor. The “ring” may
succeed in displacing Norwood, but the
people will not permit it to put an in
ferior man in his place.
It will be seen that the Watchman,
though not inimical to Mr. Norwood, fol
lows suit and says “if it be thought ad
visable for the party to put some one in
his (Norwood’s) place,” then Hod. B. H.
Hill is its candidate. We submit that
the course of these journals is both gra
tuitous and unjust to a faithful public
servant, and a gentleman of worth and
acknowledged ability. Such was not the
practice of the Democracy in the better
days of the Republic, when constant at
trition with the grand old Whig party
kept it pure and free from contamination.
Then, rarely was a representative elect
displaced save by the mutations of poli
tics or for manifest incompetency or un
faithfulness. In the present instance
there is not a shadow of reason for mak
ing any change. Mr. Norwood’s whole
career as a Christian, citizen and states
man, has been beyond reproach, and in
deed singularly blameless.
As to his capacity, let the testimony of
the members of the Savannah bar be
taken and his noble record in Congress
attest. Though no mouther and speak
ing but seldom, a more finished scholar,
sagacious thinker, and vigilant member
cannot be found on the floor of the Sen
ate. Indeed, Georgia has good cause to
be proud of her Senators, and the effort
to overslaugh one of them, without cause
and in the full meridian of his useful
ness, should find no favor with the
people. Nor do we believe they will con
sent to any such aot of palpable injus
tice.
On the ring question, that much bruit
ed but intangible bugaboo, we are a pro
found skeptic. There is not even a reas
onable suspicion of the existence of such
a combination.—Macon Telegraph.
A CoBNEKEh Witness.—It is under
stood that the select committee to inves
tigate the condition of affairs in Mis
sissippi will probably examine other
witnesses besides ex-Governor Amee
before proceeding to that State. Indeed
there is already some disposition to con
duct the examination here if it can be
done. The Republican members of Con
gress have been complaining that the
House investigations are not carried on
with open doors, yet the Republican ma
jority in the Senate Mississippi committee
voted down a motion made by Senator
Bayard to conduct its sessions with open
doors. It is learned that the testimony
of Mr. Ames, who has been part of three
days before the committee, has not
“panned out” as well as had been hoped
for. Under the cross examination of
Senator Bayard Mr. Ames has b9en com
pelled to admit that of his own personal
knowledge he could not mention a single
instance of fraud or violence in the late
election, also that the Republican party
in the State were divided into factions,
and that he (Ames) had been denounced
by suoh leaders of his party as Senator
Alcorn, ex-Senator Pease and Represen
tative Wells. These admissions were
drawn out of Ames almost by main force,
who in his exceedingly disingenuous and
evasive manner of testifying proved him
self a worthy son-in-law of Ben Butler.
THE MORNING NEWS.
Midnight Telegrams.
A BOSTON MURDERER.
TWEED WINTERING IN CANAD.t.
The Richmond Dispatch says: “ It is
a waste of time for Morton to be clearing
up his record. He has about ns good a
chance for the Cincinnati nomination as
i. N., the pressure-lifter. And if Morton
were nominated New York, N sw Jersey
and Connecticut would be safe for the
Democrats; and probably Massachusetts
and New Hampshire. He is not in the
race. The hard-monev men have slain
him, and deserve credit for the deed.”
The New Haven Register is sure that
whether the leader be Bayard, Thurman,
Tilden, Hendricks, or any other good
Democrat, all honest and earnest men in
the party will cheerfully do the work as
signed them. With true and worthy can
didates, and no let-up on Democratic
principles, the field can be readily won.
A dispatch says: “Gen. B. F. Butler
has issued a farewell order to the ‘Divi
sion of Massachusetts Militia,’ the
organization of which has come to an
end. He reviews the history of the
State Militia, and points with pride to
its prond record. ” Where?
Mrs. Victoria 0. Woodhull delivered a
lecture at Cooper Institute, New York, on
Thursday evening. Subject: “The heel
Of the woman shall bruise the serpent’s
head, and thereby the last enemy, which
is Death, shall be conquered.”
The New York Tribune is veiy zealous
in its advocacy of Blaine and Tilden for
the Presidaney. Will the Tribune let
the country know which is its first
choice?
Charles O’Conor has sued the New
York Timet and Sun tot libel, on account

Melon Sugar.
The manufacture of sugar from melons
is about to be established near San Fran
cisco. The superiority of melons to beets
for the manufacture of sugar is said to be
conclusively proven, and already a com
pany has been formed and land purchased
on Andras Island, where the manufacture
will be commenced in a short time. Water-
melons are to be used principally, the
cost both of raising and reducing being
much less than any other class of melons
or fruit suitable for the purpose. Besides
producing sugar the melon is said to give
a delicious symp, while the seeds will be
used for the manufacture of table oil
Regarding the superiority of the melon
the correspondent says: As compared with
beets, the syrup of which is unfit for use,
and the impurities, for which expensive
detergence is required; the pulp of melons
being free from impurities needs no com
plex treatment; no carLonic acid, little
boneblack and but a fraction of lime and
small per cent, of watery elements to be
evaporated. Beets are planted in rows
two feet apart and eight inches asunder,
melons in rows twelve feet apart and six
feet asunder, requiring only one-third the
plowing and not one-fourth the weeding.
The harvest is cleanly and not laborious
in melons as in beets. In the mill beets
require washing, melons not; the juice of
beets is liable to soon turn black and run
into fermentation; melon juice never
blacks, and for several days has no ten
dency to ferment. For cattle feed the
refuse from melons is more nutritious
and more palatable.
If sugar and syrup of a superior
quality can be produced from water
melons so as to compete with cane sugar
and syrup, there is no reason why the
farmers of Georgia and Florida, so pecu
liarly adapted to the melon culture, should
not enter largely into the business. In
no section of the Union are finer water
melons grown than in our own State and
no crop is more prolific and requires less
labor. The process of manufacturing is
said to be simple and inexpensive, and,
as a means of diversifying the crops, it
would be worth while for those engaged
in growing melons for the Northern mar
kets to make the experiment. The sur
plus of their crops might be profitably
converted into sugar and syrup for home
consumption.
M. D. Conway writes from London that
the royal titles bill is not of so much
importance in itself as in the incidents
which are accompanying it. There is yet
to be a scene at Windsor Castle. There
has already been one, if gossip is correct.
It is said that the Prime Minister found
the Princess Beatrice pouting, and even
moist- eyed, because • he had certified
Parliament that thd new title would not
affect the children of Her Majesty, Some
of her friends had already addressed notes
to her inscribed: “To Her Royal and Im
perial Highness.” And now she would
have to correct them—it was too bad !
Disraeli tried to console ’Trix as well as
he could, but at latest dates she was any
thing hut happy. There is a serious side
to all these ludicrous gossipy whispers
about the Royal family. They are talked
about as if they were a family of children
crying for a new toy. There is a smile
on every face as one and another repeat
the stories of their furious sensitiveness
about all the little forms and ceremonials
of dignity investing a throne from which
real power has ebbed away.
Gov. Tilden After the Strong
Minded.—The New York papers refer to
the recent appointment by Gov. Tilden
of Mrs. Josephine Shaw Lowell, to be a
Commissioner of State Charities, in com
mendatory terms, and say that this is the
first public office ever conferred upon a
woman in New York. The fact that the
State Senate at once confirmed the nomi
nation shows that they concurred with the
Governor in believing the nominee en
tirely worthy of the honor. Thus it
would seem that the example set by the
adjoining State of Massachusetts in elect
ing female school officers has not been
lost in New York, and henceforth it is to
be presumed women in the last named
State will occasionally be called upon to
fill positions for which they may be as
well qualified as men. In the case of Mrs.
Lowell it is said she possesses every quali
fication necessary to the faithful discharge
of her duties, having long been a practi
cal worker in many benevolent organi
zations.

TROUBLE AMONG THE NORTHERN
METHODISTS.
Work on the Back River Jetties.
Mr. Feesh explains that Steinberger
was sent twice to Samoa as the special
agent of the United States ; once to ob
serve and report upon the character and
condition of the islands, and again to
oarry presents from the President to the
native chiefs. Now, says the New York
Sun, let Mr. Feesh go a little further and
explain what|interest, present or possi
ble, this government has in the character
and condition of the Samoan Islands, and
also who authorized Grant to bestow the
people’s money in donations to the
heathen.
A Novel Wageb.—Some tipie since a
wager was made between a New Yorker
and an old Californian, the former bet
ting $25,000 against $15,000 that it was
impossible to Iring mustangs into this
Eastern climate, subject them to Eastern
fare and have them keep their speed.
The race is to take place within the pres
ent month, apd to pome off within one
hundred miles of New York. The race
is to be run in relays, the entire distance
ridden by one man, and not more than
thirty horses are to be used. Thirty-six
mustangs have already arrived at Jersey
City, N, J., designed for the race.
The Blaine men are beginning to assert
that the charges against their champion
came from the Bristow camp, and it is
stated that there is a growing feeling of
ill-will between the two gentlemen. The
Boston Advertiser (Blaine paper) says
that “Mr. Blaine is still the object of
open or insidious assault, chiefly by
journals in Mr. Bristow's Interest; and it
adds that “this kind of warfare is calcu
lated to work to the advantage of candi
dates whose nomination the friends of
both these gentlemen would regard a
serious disaster."
It seems, says the Washington Gazette,
by a'l accounts, 'that there is being de
veloped a goodly number of small rogues
in the persons of the attaches of the
House of Representatives. This is less
surprising than it is unfortunate. These
individuals are to blame, undoubtedly,
and it is due from the majority of the
House to itself to moke short work with
them as’ fast as they are detected. Let
there be no suapensions of the sword of
justice—no whitewashing of the delin
quents.
It seems that Belknap, under the influ
ence of Grant's backing, is becoming not
only impudent hut savage. In the course
of a conversation on Thursday he is re
ported to have expressed himself per
fectly confident of acquittal should the
Senate decifie that it has jurisdiction.
He was very bitter on Representative
Clymer, “whose duplicity,” he said, “«
unparalleled.” He said that Mr. Clymer
was dead now, but that he was not done
with him, and as soon as the trial was
over he would be attended to.
THE METHODISTS.
Baltimore, May 8.—Dr. Nelson rose to a
question of privilege. Alluding to the me
morial presented on Saturday, he said it
csomplimented the New York Book Concern,
for which compliment he felt by no means
obliged, and they repelled it. He then pro
ceeded to deny the statement and allega
tions of the memorial. Bishop Harris rose
on the platform saying he was not a mem
ber of this conference, but desired per
mission to make a statement. He was the
Seoretary of the last General Con
ference for two-thirds of the ses
sion, when he resigned and Dr.
Woodruff, the Secretary of tbe present Con
ference, was chosen as bis successor. To
gether they had edited the journal of pro
ceedings of the last couferenoe and sup
posed they had discharged that duty faith
fully. In view of the statement made this
morniDg implicating them in omitting some
part of the proceedings, he asked the ap
pointment of a special committee of five to
investigate tbe charge and report the facts.
He denied peremptorily, squarely and
fully any omission of records from the
journal of proceedings. Dr. Woodruff
disclaimed any omission. If such a thing
occurred, it was not in his knowledge. Dr.
Danalianrose and was proceeding to make a
statement, when he was asked if lie rose to
a question of privilege. Dr. Lauahau re
plied that he rose to speak in favor of the
resolution for a special oommittee. He was
proceeding with a statement in regard to tbe
report of an examination by Jno. A. Ganu,
when tho chair ruled him not in order.
Bishop Harris’s motion for a special com
mittee of five to investigate the alleged
omission was amended by authorizing l)r.
L&nalian to appear before the committee,
and passed. Wm. Rioe, H- B. Ridgeway,
0. Altman, Jas. Seaton, and R. B. Weaver,
were subsequently announced as the com
mittee. The fraterfial delegates from the
Methodist Episcopal Church in Canada
Rev. J. A. Williams and Hon. Jno. Mc
Donald, M. P., were introduced to the Con
ference by Bishop James; also Bishop Car-
mou, of Canada, and Rev. E. Toundsberry.
Half-past eleven to-morrow was desig
nated as the time for their forma 1 reoeptiou.
Several memorials were presented and
referred. Adjourned till to-morrow.
MABEL YOUNG’S MURDERER.
Boston, May 8 In his confession, the
murderer of Mabel Young says : “ I took the
bat .rum the lower room before or about the
commencement of the school to k''l some
body. At that time I carried it up into the
auditorium. During the session oi the Sun
day school I took it from tbe auditorium and
carried it to tbe belfry. After tbe close of
the school I came down stairs and open
ed the doors: then I went up again.
At tbe time I sent away the boys who
were playiDg in the vestibule.’ A.ter
the boys had "one oat and I was Btill in
the vestibule a little girl came up Bt&irs aud
I induced her to go with me into the belfry.
There I struck her with the club two or
three times. She fell where blood was
found. I picked her up and cr-ried her
body to the place where it was discovered.”
His confession of the murder qf Bridget
Landregan in December, 1S73, was equally
explicit. He was under the infiueu : ) of
whisky and opium,and deliberately prepared
a club to kill some one. He saw
Bridget on the street, and followed close
behind her. He says: “ I struck her ; Bhe
fell down immediately, aud I struck her
again ; while I was stoop-ng over the body
I saw a man coming, so I stai .ed up and ran
away; I got over a fence, and went r'ong
toward the railroad ; while I was at the ra' 1
road somebody cr ied out to me, aud I then
turned back, took a roundabout course and
got home; on the way home it occurred to
me that J had a knife ip my p icket which
might be recogi zed in some mauner. so I
threw it away. Tho Evening Gerald
says : “ There is feeling abroad
among lawyers, detectives and tbe public
generally that the con* ary statements now
put out by Piper is the resc't of cool
reasoning on his part aud of l pch ingennity
as ho is possessed of in order to throw a
doubt on bis sanity in genera' or else to
show that be has an uucon'-o' able mat
for blood for wl 'ch he is not responsible,
and a chruge in bis statements, either in
the confe ision of more murders or of a
denial of s' 1 would not at this moment
astonish the community.”
TWEED.
New York, May The UercJi has a le*
ter from Midland Georgia Bay, Canada
stating that Tweed aud two companions
spent the winter on Muskoka river, thirty
milos lroni Midland and one hundred nii'es
from Toronto. It appears that Tweed and
two men loaded a small steamer last Novem
ber, just before the ciose of narigatiou, «
a great quantity of provisions, anc^wen
to Park’s Mills, which have not been
running. Tweed and his companions
lived in a cottage a’' ’be winter, the Boss
keeping dumb and it being oiveu out that
he had recoived a paralytic snock. Ou tho
24th of April the steamer that took them up
last fa,l, arrived thore agr n with a lot of
provisions on board, but did not leave
for a few days. Ou Friday, the
28th, two detectives left Mid'anu and
went to Park’s Mill, reaching there
Saturday. On being discovered the whole
of Tweed's party flea on board the steamer
by small boats—the one on which the Boss
embarked being sunk by ice and be getting
a ducking. The'' escape in boats was dis
covered by some for"- men on tbe steamer
with revolvers, and shots wero exchanged
with the detectives, who were on the dock.
The stoamer escaped with Tweed to Geor
gian bay. tbe detectives be'ug unable to
follow. They expeot soon to captpre him.
Washington, Mays.—Tbe following f
its way into the State Republican Conven-
tion of Maryland, from Mr. Blaine : “Ordi
narily I should be unwiliiDg to express sny
preference ss to what a State Convention
might do touching myself, bnt of late, as
yon well know, a persistent attempt has
been made to throw mnd at me, and a pro
nounced expression from the Maryland Con
vention in my favor would, at this time, be
gratefully received.”
CROOK CORRECTED.
Washington, May 8.—Indian Agendas.
S. Hastings telegraphs from Red Cloud
agency: “ There is no foundation whatever
for Gen. Crook’s report that the Indians at

assistance was needed, and the military
were called upon, not a bouf of beef cattle
could they furnish. The Indiana were never
more pe&ccubly disposed.”

The Richmond Whig wants it distinctly
understood that it is uot a Bourbon. It
is tired of being called one, and to put
the matter at rest forever, it says :
“ We are content with a union of the
States. Indeed, we announce now in ad
vance that we will advocate thrashing
into submission the New England States
when they become so disloyal to the
glorious stars and stripes as to attempt
resistance again to our great and benefi

According to Washington dispatches
the committee which has been investiga
ting the affairs of the District of Colum
bia have discovered a condition of affairs
under tho present government in com
parison with which Boss Shepherd’s rule
was a model of honesty and purity. The
present Commissioners have, it seems,
managed their trust in the most scanda
lous manner, and the commiteee, it is
stated, are turning over the pages of the
law books to find out the proper way to
punish them.
The London World mentions the theft
of several rolls of dynamite, which the
thief probably supposed to be rolls of
specie. Upon a conjecture that finding
his mistake the thief may have thrown
them aside as worthless, the World con
siders it an interesting addition to mis
cellaneous knowledge to know that there
is knocking about in London an uncon
sidered trifle containing within itself a
latent force sufficient to tumble down
half of London.
Bristow has been investigated; Conk-
ling has been investigated; Morton has
investigated himself, and now the oonn-
try is waiting tor Mr, Blaine,
Recorder Hackett, of New York, in a
recent charge to the grand jury in the
Court of General Sessions, called par
ticular attention to crime among the
rich and educated classes. H6 said an
example should be made of intelligent
criminals, and it was better to allow a
score of ignorant offenders to escape than
to permit procrastination of the em
bezzler, the commercial swindler, and,
above all, the fraudulant trustee.
The Tennessee papers give discouraging
accounts of the ravages of the tobacco
fiy in that State. It now seems probable,
siys the Nashville American, that the
coming crop will fall below those of
average seasons by at least one-half.
Commissioner Killebrew, of the Bureau
of Agriculture, Statistics and Mines, who
has just returned from West Tennessee,
reports a similar discouraging outlook
in that section of the State.
Boys and g’rls under ten years of age
are not hereafter to be permitted to work
in the factories of Massachusetts. The
law passed by the Legislature on tbe sub
ject has gone into effect against the op
position of interested parties at Fall I{iyer
and elsewhere, and it has already taken
many little children away from factory
work.
It is rumored in New York that Fer
nandez Garcia, who was illegally arrested
there some time ago by agents of the
Spanish Government and conveyed to
Havana on a charge of mutilating a
masterpiece of Murillo, owned by the
cathedral in Seville, Spain, has been se
cretly executed in Cuba for the offense.
