„„ ^Dticipatcd, the extraordinary
general Tnrki.h Council, with an extract
umary unanimity, has rejected the pro
posals ot the powtrB. Neither tho diein
terated magnanimity ol England, the suave
approaches of France, the broad utterance-
of Germany, or tho subhmo impudence of
Russia has raffled a feather of the ancient
bird, lnd 6be Itas at last spread her tail
contempt of ah the uneducated barn yard
fowls who sought to gather crumbs from
her territory. And now, the great question
which agitates tho European
gleaned from the English press, i
Russia going to do about it ?
It is amusing to watch and catch the float
ing opinions of tho great leaders of public
mind,

complications of the Eastern question, which
urkey has settled in a few momeuts. 19 it
a disgrace to European diplomacy ? as the
Uimes asseriB, or a master piece of policy
on the part ol Russia? as the Standard
hints. Is it Russia that is humbled or Eng-
land that is Bnubbed ? Will war delight
Germany and gratify France? The lime*
says tne event of the refusal “will surprise
nobody,” and yet the Times is so much snr-
prised at it that it actually looks at the dis
solution of the conference as no disso.ution
but simply a new phase of a new conference,
which will again interest itself in the husi
ness or meddling with the private affairs of
a distinct nationality.
The Louisiana returning board, or at
least two of them, who were arrested and
brought before the bar of the House, are
still in custody, comfortably quartered, it is
true, at Willard’s, well fed and carefully
provided for, but still in custody. Their
cases will not be disposed of until the quar
tette are brought together to answer for
thoir contempt. They will probably recon
sider their determination to thwart tho will
of tho people, and will produce tho returns
called for by tho investigating committee.
I f not, let them suffer away from the allur-
ing enticements of a first-class Washington
hotel.
The recusant telegraphers—Orton «fc Co.,
including Barnes—have melted, and will
produce the political telegrams doinanded
by tho investigating committees of Con
gress. Upon this condition they have been
released from tho requirements of their
subpoena, and a sub-committee appointed
from each branch to examine the telegrams
displayed and report to their respective com
mittees.
From Eastern complications abroad, the
return to complications at homo is by no
means a violent transition. Tho bill re
ported by the Joint Committee of the two
Houses on tho count of the electoral vole!
is the engrossing subject in political cir
cles jnst now. Opinions differ as to its
merits as a plan for settling tho Presiden
tial contest. Our press dispatches say that it
will undoubtedly pass, while our special cor
respondent at Washington is of the opinion
that it will fail. The fact is, when once a peo
ple seek outside of constitutional methods
the moans to quiet party strife, they enter
upon a sea of uncertainties. How much
eafer to steer by the old chart, to follow in
the old well mapped channels, and thus
avoid the rocks upon which nations have
been wrecked in the past. If one Presi
dential election can endanger the stability
of tho government, how insecure and unsafe
must that government be. Hereafter then
let us look with less contempt upon our
sister republic, Mexico.
All the trouble and turmoil and disquiet
now agitating the country has sprung from
the key note which was touched in Congress
yesterday. “Packard is a robber, and noth
ing else.” Tho whole horde of carpet-bag
gers are robbers, and nothing else. Every
day proves it,and every honest politician sees
and knows it. Sherman and Morton may
give Packard and his co-laborers a charac
ter, but neither Morton’s State, Indiana, or
Sherman’s State, Ohio, would for a moment
submit to have such a man, under like cir
cumstances, rule over them. Their en
dorsement is therefore false and insincere
on its very face.
Tho Georgia Legislature is getting at its
work in right down earnest and possibly
after next Monday, whenjibe Senatorial con
test is decided, the wheels of legislation
will run smoothly in the rountine ruts. We
suppose every member has a bill or bills to
present, many of which will never §ee the
light of luminous debate, but.thcro are im
portant questions to be handled, and there
are experienced members enough in both
branches to see to it that the commonwealth
does not suffer through too much legisla
tion.
The gratifying news reaches us from
Washington that the work on tho improve
ment of tho Savannah harbor is to be re
sumed and prosecuted to tho extent of the
unexpended appropriation made by the last
Congress for that purpose. Hod. Julian
Hartridge, our immediate Bepresentative,
has given himself to this important work
with the above result; and he will woxk for
an appropriation by tho present Congress to
carry it successfully forward.
The resolutions of the Pennsylvania Leg
islature upon the present condition of af
fairs were presented to the Senate yesterday
by Senator Cameron, and ordered printed.
We are unable to judge of their scope by the
meagre dispatches of the Associated Press,
but inasmuch as they emanate from a super
latively partisan body, they are without
doubt expressions of such partisanship.
From > assau.
By the steamer Leo, Captain Daniels,
arrived here from Nassau yesterday, we
are in receipt of files of tho Guardian
and Times to the 13th inst. The papers
contain no news of interest.
His Excellency, the Governor of New
Providence, has filled the vacancy in the
Legislative Council occasioned by the
death of the Hon. C. K. Nesbitt, by ap
pointing Alexander James Thompson,
Esq., Provost Marshal, to be a member of

A Specimen of Louisiana Carpet-Bag
Jn>tice.
Stealiug, robbery, and the coudoning
of crimes by those high in authority
are common things among the favored in
the Southern carpet-bag governments.
A case in point has recently been devel
oped in Louisiana—a case which secured
to Kellogg his pretended election to the
United States Senate. Dave Young is a
notorious Republican politician. He is
an ignorant negro, but is possessed of
shrewdness and cuunmg. He has seve
ral times been a member of the Legisla
ture of Louisiana, and is now a member
of the Keliogg Senate. The facts below
recited were taken from the testimony of
reliable witnesses given before the
Congressional Committee. In 1875, after
Young had served two terms in the
House, and had effected through cor
rupt means his election as State Senator,
the people, white and black, becoming
tired of his mismanagement of parochial
affairs, determined to proceed against
him judicially. Accordingly his manage
ment cf public moneys was looked into.

embezzled $51,000 in warrants, which
Lad been disposed of for $31,000 in cash.
The facts were immediately presented to
tbe grand jury (composed largely of ne
groes;. and an indictment was found
agamst Young. The money which he ap
propriated had been collected by tax
ation from the people for school pur
poses, and though a school house was
buiit.no school was opened in the parish.
The charge or indictment remained
against Young until very recently, with
out anything being done. He used his
influence as Senator to prevent a trial,
and as the Judg j was a Republican, this
was not very difficult to do, for Young
controlled the patronage of tbe parish,
and would have had tbe judiciary changed
to meet bis views if the Judge had not
favored his cause. Young, hearing that
Kellogg was getting ready to go to
the United States Senate, and that
Warmoth was looming up as
dangerous competitor, started the
rumor that he favored the aspirations of
Warmoth and intended to vote for him.
Of course this rumor reached Kellogg,
causing him much uneasiness, as he feared
You ig’s influence with tho colored mem
bers of the Legislature. Young was ac
cordingly sent fur, and after a long con
versation with the Governor, changed his
views entirely, and is now a pronounced
Kellogg man. The Warmoth wing of
the party were at a loss to account for
this sudden change until a few days later,
when a Natchez paper solved the mys
tery by publishing the following dispatch:
New Obleans, December 18, 1876.
lion S. T. Austin, District Attorney, Vi-
dalia, Concordia Paiish:
From representations made, I am led
to believe charges against Young are
measureubly groundless. If consistent
with your duties, I Lope you will relieve
him from prosecution now pending.
Wm. Pitt Kellogg.
The very same day the District Attor
ney, after reading this dispatch in open
court, entered a nolle prosequi in the case
of the State vs. David Young for embez
zlement Strong opposition was made to
this proceeding, but it was of no avail.
Dave Young wes declared innocent, and
voted to make Kellogg a United States
Senator.
Brother Orville After His Share of
the Spoils.
Orville Grant has turned up again.
The last we beard of this enterprising
member of tbe tan-yard dynasty, was
some month or two ago, when he was
fished out of the gutter somewhere in a
state of beastly intoxication. Now be
turns up as plaintiff in a case in the Cir
cuit Court at St. Louis, having brought
suit against one P. W. Scimeider, claim
ing damages in the sum of $75,000 for
alleged breach of contract. The petition
alleges that in Match, 1873, he entered
into an agreement with defendant,
that as soon as certain contracts
submitted by defendant to the
government containing proposals to far-
nish graLite for the Custom House in St.
Louis should be signed, that the plaintiff
was to go to St. Louis and take charge of
tbe outside work, and manago the finan
cial affairs pertaining to said contracts
with the government, for which he was
to receive $5,000 per annum as salary
and ten per cent, of the profits on this
and other contracts plaintiff might bo in
strumental in procuring; that plaintiff
did proceed to St. Louis and took charge
of th9 business as agreed upon, but a few
days afterward defendant denied the con
tract with plaintiff and Las since refused
to pay him any part of the amount agreed
upon ; therefore he prays tho court for
judgment in the above sum.
It would seem that Schneider had se
cured brother Orville’s influence to aid
him in procuring a fat government con
tract, by a liberal bribe, which he now
refuses to pay. The Republican says
there is every prospect of entertaining
and surprising developments in the pro
gress of the suit. Testimony in the case
will have, it may be said, a national in
terest.

A curious fact has been brought to
light, by a Turkish correspondent of
Harper s Wetkly. He says the Czar Nich
olas visited England incognitus just piiar
to the Ciimean war, and from association
with the mercantile and manufacturing
class came to tbe conclusion that the
English were willing to sacrifice every
thing for peace and ease and prosperity.
He left England as Colonel on a
Dutch vessel and boarded a Russian man-
of-war, on which he entered one of the
British harbors and was received with all
the honors due to the Imperial master of
all the Russian. Returning to Russia
with the erroneous impression that Eng
land would not have war because of her
commerce, he brought on the Crimean
war, which resulted so disastrously. The
correspondent claims that this is a State
secret never before divulged and vouches
for its accuracy.

and memters are decidedly reticent with
reference to the proposed plan for tho elec

to-day by your correspondent, only about
half a dozen would express an opin
ion. In each instance these were adverse
and from Democrats; They regard tho
arrangement as a species of gambling in
which they confess the Republicans hold
palpabably the winning hand. It is veiy
doubtful if the plan will bo endorsed by tho
House. Proctor Knott declares that it is
the auctioning off the form of government
established by oar forefathers.
The arrest of the Louisiana returning
board, and threats about Chandler and
others on tho one Laid, embitter tho Re
publicans, and allegations of chicanery and
trickery as a means to obtain their end by
the Republicans, maddens the Democrats.
Day by day tho breach widens, and a com
promise becomes less possible.

The Joint Committee Compromise.
The Washington telegraphic corres
pondent of the Richmond Dispatch.,
speaking of the bill of the joint commit
tee creating a tripartite commission to
act with both houses of Congress in
counting the electoral vote, after giving a
history of the measure, the main features
of which were first suggested by the
House, but which was brought to a final
conclusion by a process of dove-tailing
between the committees, says :
“The members of the committee are
generally confident thut the bill will be
passed by’ both houses. Bayard and
Hewitt are particularly sanguine. They
say that it leaves it absolutely uncertain
which man will be declared to have been
elected, or whether either candidate has
received a majority of the electors ap
pointed, and that any bill which did not
leave these points uncertain could not be
agreed on. It does not at all touch the
right of the House to elect a President
in case neither candidate proves to have
received a majority, and concedes to
Congress the right to pass finally
upon all returns and to reject them
upon a concurrent vote. The plan
treats the two houses as exactly co equal
in power, or rather treats their power as
a dual power, which they hold conjointly,
and cannot exercise individually. It is
certain, however, that the bill will meet
with very strong opposition from mem
bers of both parties. Proctor Knott and
some other prominent Democrats are
strongly opposed to any tribunal which
recognizes the right of anybody but the
Congress to settle the whole question.
The extreme Republicans, on the other
hand, will object to it for the same
reason that a trickster objects to playing
with any but marked cards, because they
do not wish to play anything but a sure
game. _
‘The result of the outcome of the de
liberations of the committee is accepted
as a victory of the more modified men of
both parties over the extremists. There
are, indeed, few who like it. It places
the judicial ermine in a position which
is bound to meet the assaults of which
ever party may bo disappointed. There
are Democrats, and extreme ones, who
find very gTeat comfort in the abandon
ment of tbe position that the president
of the Senate has the vested right
to count the vote aud declare the lesult.
This is a concession which men of the
stamp of Morton, Garfield and Hale don’t
like.
“The best feature of the plan is that
they don’t like it, Grant don’t like it, nor
does the administration organ. The bill
seems to have been agreed upon not be
cause it has satisfactory features, but be
cause it is about the only plan the com
mittees could unite upon, and more so,
because under it the powers of tho two
houses in settling the dispute are equally
recognized.”
CONGRESSIONAL.
Washington, January 19.—Iu the Senate,
Mr. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, presented
the resolution recently adopted by tbe
Pennsylvania Legislature, declaring that the
will of the people iu tbe election of a Presi
dent and Y.ce President can only be de
clared in the manner prescribed in the Con
stitution, and denouncing any threats of
violence, or attempt to cast cut the elec
toral vote of any State by either House of
Congress, and farther that the certificates
of electors from tho various States are the
constitutional evidence of the votes cast for
President and V-ce President, and must be
counted. It was ordered to be printed aud
lie upon tbe table.
A motion was made to adjourn to Monday.
Mr. Edmunds said if the bill reported by
the select committee yesterday should be
come a law, tbe first act to bn done under it
most te done a week from Tuesday. The
.Senate should take the bill up to morrow, so
that by next Tuesday they might either de
stroy it by manly blows or press it, and not
destroy it, smothering it, or postponing in
conside:ation. He hoped tbe Senate would
not adjourn over. The motion was with
drawn.
Louisiana affairs were discussed at great
length by Sherman and Bogy, during which
the galleries were cleared on account ot
demonstration of applause. Sherman de
fended ihe action of the returning board,
aud quoted irom the testimony to sbo.v
that violence and intimidation did exist
during the canvass,and the board was justi
fied In throwing out certain returns. He
argued that the ex parte testimony pre
sented by the Senator from Miesonri did cot
show tt at violence did not exist. Tbe
Senator, Mr. Bogy, had spoken against Pack
ard, and that was not right. Packard was
a man of character and standing. What
had be done? Had he murdered and
robbed ?
Mr. Bogy—He has robbed! robbed!
robbed! and done nothing else.
Mr. Sherman was surprised to hear such
a remark from the Senator.
Mr. Bogy said the character of Packard
in New Orleans was that ot an infamous
robber. (Great applause in the galleries on
the right of the Chair.)
Mr. Sherman, after regretting the ne
cessity of clearing the gallenee, referred to
Louisiana again, and said ho did not know
Mr. Packard, but he had beard him spoke of
as a man of honor. When a Senator on the
floor of the Senate arraigned a Governor of
a State as infamous he abused his privilege
as a Senator.
Mr. Bogy—I do not admit that be is Gov
ernor.
Mr. Morton of Indiana, said he regretted to
hesr the Senator from Missouri speak as he
did about Gov. Packard. He (Mr. Morton)
was not under any personal cr political ob
ligations to Governor Packard, but Le was
somewhat familiar wiih Louisiana affairs,
aud he bad never heard him spoken of as a
man cf bad character either as a
politician, in society or in business. Among
tbe jobs heard of in Louisiana duriDg the
past five years, Packard was never men
tioned as being interested in any of them.
He spoke at length of Louisiana affairs. Re
ferred to tbe difficulties at Mechanics Insti
tute, Couehatta parish, etc., and argued
that violence and intimidation had prevailed
iu Louisiana for years.
The Senate went into executive session aud
adjourned.
House.—Wells and Anderson were pre
sented at the bar of tbe House, but their
cases were postponed till the arrival of the
other members of the board.
The day was devoted to private bills.

THE ENGLISH VIEW’ OF THE ACTION OF THE
PORTE.
London, January 19.—The Standard says:
We aie not sure that the decision of the
Council is who. The proposals had been
reduced so far that it is uncertain they
would not have been further softened had
the Porte consented to discuss them. The
question now is, What will Russia do, defied
by tho Porte after minimizing her demands
again and again? Will she eat tbe
words of the Moscow- speech, with
draw her mammoth mobilized regiments,
and preserve tbe peace? There are signs
pointing in that direction. All our intelli
gence is to the effect that the enthusiasm
for war has cooled down, and the public
are waking up to a sense of the risks of an
invasion of Turkey. The pre-Bs Bc-em to bo
preparing the public mind for a retreat, by
representing the failure of the conference
as a defeat not of Russia, but of England.
Possibly, all this weakness is assumed. At
any rste, it is certain that the work of
mobilization shows no slackness.

THE LEADING JOURNALS ON THE PUN FOR
COUNTING THE ELECTORAL VOTE.
Washington, Januaiy 19.—Tbe press
seems to be a s,ood deal divided iu opinion
npon the merits of the compromise measure
reported by the conference committee npon
the electoral vote. In a general way the
most decided opposition to it may be said
to come from Republican papers. Ihe New
York Times and Tribune take very positive
ground against it as unconstitutional and a
Republican surrender, etc. The Herald,
however, warmly endorses it, and is
confident that the patriotic men m all parts
of the country will be disposed to seek for
the merits and to pass over the defects in
the plan, if defects it should prove :o have.
The World (De nocratic) docs not give an
unqualified endorsement of the plan, but
thinks the country will hail with delight
at any action on the part of Con
gress which goes to show that the
figbtfol condition of the people is at
last getting itself recognized by persons
who are sect to Wa-hmgton to look alter the
welfare of their constituents aud of the
republic. Tbe New York Express (Dcm.)
thinks the plan will prove a peaceful solu
tion of tbe greatest political evil that has
ever threatened tbe country apart
from civil war. Tbe New York Post
(independent) says the plan will
give great satisfaction to the country,
aud that the wisest course fcr the Senate
and House of Representatives is to adont it
as it comes from the committee without un
necessary delay. The Philadelphia Tele
graph, Independent, thinks the plan is one
tbai will give entire satisfaction to all fair
minded men of all parties. Tho Boston
Herald, Independent, says the country wants
peace, and* the sooner a plan of this kind
is adopted the better. The Springfield
Republican, Independent, thinks the plan
will command the support of the country,
aud even more so if it proves that a bitter
Republican partisan like Morton or a Demo
crat like Springer dissents from it. The
Baltimore papers, without distinction of
party, give moderate favor to tho plan. In
Washington the party papers oppose it, tho
Republican and Chronicle on the Republican
side, and the Union on tbe Democratic side.
The Nation, independent, favors it.
PROTECTING THE REVENUE.
Washington, January 19.—The Cabinet
to-day had under consideration an official
statement from the Commissioner of Inter
nal Revenue, saying that there is an im
mense increase of frauds upon the revenue
by the illicit distillation of spirits, and
great difficulty iu enforcing the revenue
laws in several Southern States, particularly
in Northern Alabama, aud Georgia and
North Carolina. Great frauds in tbe manu
facture of tobacco in North Carolina are
also icported. In order to assist the reve
nue officers to enforce the laws troops are
requested, and, after consultation between
the Pres dent and Secretary of the Treasury
at the Cabinet meeting to-day, an order was
sent, by direction of the President, to the
General ot the army to put the necessary
instructions to the commander of the De
partment cf the South for that purpose.
COL. BURKS QUOTED.
Washington, January 19.—Colonel E. A.
Burks, who has just arrived from New Or
leans, is thus quoted : “Tbe people of Loui
siana are not so wanting iu respect for the
chief magistrate as to suggest that he could
be influenced in his action by any
considerations personal to himself or
family, and Colonel Casey has never
intimated to any member of ihe
Nicholls’ government that he ha3 any as
pirations for Democratic honors. As a
matter of fact Colonel Burk says : “Casey
was formerly a merchant in New Orleans,
owns property, and has many friends, and
has not been classed as a partisan Republi
can of Louisiana.”

THE TENNESSEE SENATOR.
Nashville, Jannary 19 — Jas. A. Bailey
was elected to the short term on the seventy-
third ballot.
The Mystery Explained.—We never
could exactly understand why it was
neiessary to send United States troops to
Florida, South Carolina and Louisiana to
see that there was a fair count of votes.
The following dispatches from old Zach
Chandler, sent the day after the election
to Chamberlain, Kellogg and Stearns,
throw a drummond light on that subject:
“We are absolutely certain of one hun
dred and eighty-five votes for Haves if
your State is safe—and Tilden is sure of
the rest. Can you certainly defeat all
Democratic attempts by fraud, false
counting, or bribery to capture it ? An
swer when sure. Z. Chandler.”
“Don’t give up your State until re
motest returns come in. Hayes elected
by one majority if we have carried
Florida, Oregon and Louisiana. Meet
your friends at depot. C.”
It is a most remarkable fact that old
Zach forgot all about sending these im
portant dispatches until they were read
to him the other day by the House inves
tigating committee.
The Taxpayers of Louisiana Sustaining
the Nicholls Government,
The municipal government of New Or
leans have anticipated General Grant in
recognizing the Nicholls government as
both de jure and de facto, and have de
clared that the city’s share of tho police
and school funds shall be paid to that
government and no other. The money
derived from the city of New 0: leans has
been the principal if not the sole support
of the Radical government for years, and
i:ow that the supplies are cut off the
Packaid pest-house menagerie will be
soon starved out. The taxpayers of the
interior of the State, too, like those of
South Carolina, are coming promptly to
the support of the legitimate government
of their choice, and tho taxes are pouring
in freely to the Nicholls treasury. Col.
B. M. Johnson, a wealthy banker of
Shreveport,and one of the largest taxpay
ers of Caddo parish, was too ill to attend
the taxpayers’ meeting held at the
Shreveport Cotton Exchange a few days
since,but he wrote a letter which was read
at the meeting, saying that he believed it
to be the duty of every good citizen to
sustain Governor Nicholls, and that he
wa3 ready and willing to pay if called
upon five per cent., or fifty per cent., or
one hundred per cent., of his taxes in
advance to the legal government of
Louisiana.

The Debt of Georgia.
Treasurer Benfroe shows the consoli
dated debt of the State of Georgia, cot
yet due, to be $8,447,500, but in table F
it appears that exclusive of the $600,000
disowned Bullock bonds of the Macon

more of the bonds of the Alabama and
Chattanooga Railroad, also fraudulently
endorsed by Bullock and repudiated,
there are $2,688,000 of bonds endorsed
legally, for which the State is bound.
These consist of bonds cf the Macon

Jenkins and Bullock % $1,950,000

These are, therefore, to cite and admonish all
