Hon. B. H. Hill and that Monstrons
Conspiracy.
A special dispatch to the Macon Tele
graph says : “Mr. Hill spoke three hoars
to night. There was much enthusiasm
among his partizms.” It mast have been
a wonderful performance, the full expo
snre of that gigantic conspiracy to defeat
Mr. Hill’s election to the Senate, in o D Iy
three mortal hours! Think of it! Aeon-
spiracy, in which, according to Mr. Hill,
are leagued the whole Radical press of
the country, a large portion of the
Democratic press of the North and
South, General Grant, Jim Blaine,
and all the leaders of the Radical party,
Senator Norwood and his friends, besides
divers other persons who prefer some
more reliable and trustworthy “states
man,’’ some one lest exposed to such
diabolical conspiracies, to represent
Georgia in the United States Senate in
these critical times—such a stupendous
plot to be ail exposed and laid
bare in a three honra’ Bpeech!
Is there a man in Georgia, except Hon.
B. H. Hill, who would undertake such a
task ? And yet we doubt not that Mr.
Hil* accomplished it to the perfect satis
faction of himself and his partizans,
proving conclusively to himself and
them that he is really the central
figure of the nation, that upon
his election to the Senate depends the
overthrow of Radicalism, the salvation of
Georgia and the perpetuity of republican
institutions on this continent. Having
exposed this diabolical conspiracy,Mr. Hill
will now return to Washington, while the
nation awaits with breathless suspense
the result of the Senatorial election.
The Boston Post says : “If the Union
Club of New York is not only going to
encourage but insist on duels, it is time
that the State or city authorities took up
the matter and abated this nuisance, just
as it would a rat pit, a concert siloon, or
any other institution where crime is a
leading feature.”
The Post may compose its nerves. The
fast young men of New York must have
some kind of excitement, and there is no
pastime in which they could indulge more
innocent and harmless than duels with
cork balls at long taw. And then there is
something so invigorating and martial in
the report of a pistol and the smell of
gunpowder.
The defeated Republican candidate for
the Vico Presidency Btated at Washing
ton Sunday, that he would never consent
to any arrangement by which he would
obtaia the Vice Presidency and Tilden
the Presidency. He and Hayes must go
together “at all hazards,” he asserts, and
he swears by Eliza Pinkston that he ttill
go in, as he and Hayes had a good old-
fashioned talk at Columbus, and came to
the conclusion “that the machinations of
the Democrats” must be overcome.
Beast Butler and Judge Hoar met as
opposing counsel in an action for damages
for loss of life brought before the Massa
chusetts Supremo Court on exceptions
last week. Butler cited from Job : “Yea,
all that a man hath will he give for his
life,” when Judge Hoar remarked th .t
that was a plea of the devil in a motion
for a new trial, and he didn’t think that
the court would be more impressed by it
because of its modern endorsement.
The Richmond Whig justly remarks
that the profound jurisconsult who holds
the Executive seat at Washington devotes
his Sabbaths, when not too sink for utter
ance, to the promulgation of Radical
jargon through prouunciamtnloi. The
White House jurisconsult must have had
an attack of the jimjams yesterday, as
we are without our usual telegraphic
report of his gabblement with Father
Gobright.
In a certain fashionable up-town
church in New York sixteen thousand
dollars were subscribed for foreign hea
then missions on Sunday week last. The
Sun says a charitable association in that
city received in the previous four weeks
applications from five thousand nine hun
dred and sixty-eight families for relief
from starvation. A visiting committee
found in the Sixth ward thirteen hun
dred persons without shoes.
On Monday ex-Marshal Packard in
formed a Captain cf the United States
army that ho was prepared to move upon
the Supreme Court, and wished he would
govern himself accordingly. The Captain
informed the ex-Marshal that he had no
assistance to expect from him in the mat
ter, but if he caused a disturbance or
breach of the peaoe on the street he
would readily step in and quell it.
Three millions in twenty dollar gold
pieces arrived in New York last week
from San Francisco. The weight of the
gold was six tons, it filled fourteen iron
safes, and it took seventeen men to guard
it on the way. Suppose Vanderbilt’s
sixty millions was in gold, weighing one
hundred and twenty tons, what a trouble
some thing it would be to have about the
house 1 However, few of us need be dis
turbed by apprehensions of such trouble.
Zach Chandler says: “I don’t care what
people take me for if they don’t take me
for a foot” There is no ground for tbe
Hon. Zachariah’s anxiety. When he is
sober, he is anything but a fool.—-Veur
York Sun.
Beast Butler is credited with having
made a similar remark. If either of them
were as great fools as they are knaves,
they would have been in tbe penitentiary
years ago. t [
Governor Bayley, of Michigan, recom
mends in his late message that a law be
passed making insurance policies as
simple in form as a promissory note and
providing for the adoption of the non
forfeiture system, and the abrogation of
the clauses denying the payment of poll-
cies in cases of death resulting from in
sanity, suicide or drunkenness.
The Courier-Jour mil says: “The man
who has threatened the country with civil
war is Ulysses Simpson Grant, the head
of the Republican party. He has threat
ened to bayonet the DemocraticHiepre-
sentatives in Congress if they offer any
opposition to the unlawful inauguration
of Rutherford B- Hayes.’
A somewhat singularTad significant
fact is, that the two Republican Sena
tors, Weber and Hamlet, from he so-
called bulldozed Louisiana parishes, to
elect whom the greatest number of
Democratic votes were counted 0 “ t - both
refused to take their seats in the Radi
cal Rump. , . .
The New Orleans Picayune s.ys the
ambrosial Pitkin, who is at present on a
mission to Grant, has sent . I* Ie « ram ^
his pal, Packard, informing him that the
l ’ r Kadicai vessel had

both as good as lost.
The Sew York World ou the Confer-
ence Committee’s Plan.
The .New York World, in an editorial
on the plan of agreement of the joint
committee on counting the electoral
vote, declares that “if an extra consti
tutional contrivance was necessary at this
time to avoid grave disasters, it is not
the Democratic party which has made it
necessary.” It also saysThe country
will hail with delight any action on the
part of Congress which goes to show that
the frightful condition of the people is
at last getting it3elf recognized by
the persons who are sent to Wash
ington to look after the welfare of
their constituents and of the republic/
In a subsequent article, the World ex
presses its dissent from what it considers
a surreuder of tbe constitutional preroga
tive by the compromise bill, and main
tains very nearly the same views in re
gard to the rights and duties of Congress
in the final count and determination of
the electoral vote as were advanced by U3
i few days since in an article entitled,
‘•Counting the Vote—The Affirmative
ind Negative Powers of Congress.” The
World holds that Congress, in the exer
cise of its legislative functions, has con-
:rol of the final count, and that it cannot
constitutionally abrogate that control by
transferring it to another tribunal. The
editor says :
We do not believe that the framers
of our fundamental law intended tbe
President of the Senate to be anything
more than an official receiver, keeper
and opener of tne electoral certificates.
Taose things done, his functions are all
exhausted, and the two houses have com
plete and exclusive jurisdiction of the
whole business. All the powers of ex
amination, verification, testing and count
ing which the Constitution or the
laws allow or supply, resile in the
two houses. The two houses are the
best and safest depositaries of this power.
Ooe represents the people, and the other
the States. The former makes a President
and the latter a Vice President, in default
of an election by the electoral colleges.
These two bodies in this business are co
equal, with coextensive powers as to the
place of meeting and the presiding officer.
They meet and act as separate houses,
and not as convocations of members.
Neither the House nor the Senate in any
Presidential election has ever yielded one
tittle of its power to superintend and con
trol the examination, the exclusion and the
counting of votes. Ail these are affirma
tive acts; they are thiugs to be done;
they cannot come about of themselves.
When a certificate is opeued the votes do
not count themselves; they must be
counted. That counting is an act in
which both houses must concur, or
there is no count. This has been the
uniform construction from 178*J down,
whenever a vote has been objected to.
The joint rule of 18G5 was but a codifica
tion and formal expression of this uniform
practice. No casuistry can make the ex -
animation of a vote, the decision if it be a
vote, or the counting, a negative act. The
Constitution says “the cotes shall then be
counted.” If either house decides that
a particular list does not contain il the
votes,” and refuses to count that list, it is
not counted, and, of course, cannot be
counted by the two houses. Either
house can reject and refuse to make an
incorrect final enumeration of the whole
vote. It is said this is a tremendous
power. So it is. But it had to
bo reposed somewhere, and it has
been wisely reposed in the two houses,
and practically in one house, if one
house refuses to concur in an affirmative
act. Of the two bodies, the lower house
ia nearer to the people, and therefore
more trusted by tho Constitution than the
upper house. It is the lower house which
makes a President if the electoral col
leges fail to mike him. Its authority in
that matter is supreme and sole. The
Senate caunot interfere with that au
thority any more than the lower house
can with the making of a Vice President.
Therefore the lower house must for itself,
as a house, examine, count and ascertain
if any person has a majority of the votes
for the Presidency.
It must, for itself, decide how many
electors have been appointed, and be its
own excluaive judge of its own jurisdic
tion to make a President, as the Senate is
over its jurisdiction to make a Vice Presi
dent. This law cannot be changed or
modified by the inquiry which or what
party controls either house, for it is an
immutable law, and if the question
had been adequately discussed In
Congress, as it ought to have b:en,
such, we are sure, would have
been the opinion of the country. These
are our opinions, by which we are com
pelled to test the mode just recommended
by the joint committee ; and we do not
see how it is possible to reconcile wi h
these opinions the rule that a single re
turn is to be counted unless both bodies
concur in rejecting it, and that the judg
ment of the board of arbitration is to
stand unless both houses overrule it.
The World's views of the unconstitution
al features of the new plan, are shared by
many leading Democrats in and out of
Congress, who yet express their willing
ness to accept the proposed joint tribunal
for the settlement of the question now
distracting the country, and threatening
to involve it in civil war. While they
adhere to constitutional method, and
would, under other circumstances, stead
fastly oppose any departure there
from as revolutionary and dan
gerous, they are inclined to accept,
as a temporary expedient, the only
measure that promises a peaceful solution
of the issue which Radical corruption,
usurpation and fraud has brought upon
the oountry. The reason for this ac
quiescence is given by a Washington cor
respondent of the Courier-Journal. The
writer says : “There are many Demo
crats who by no means like the plan, as
an original proposition, and who firmly
uphold the rights of the House of liepre -
sentatives as defined in the excellent
resolutions reported by Mr. Knott, and
defended by him in a speech of
commanding ability; but they find the
party divided as to making a stand on the
issue, and how it shall be made. There
is obviously a lack of the con
certed popular support which could
enable the House to mako its
stand alone successfully against the
Senate, the President and the army and
navy of the United States. Many of the
Eastern leaders claiming to be friends of
Mr. Tilden have from the first insisted
on a policy of inaction and sloth,
smothering the honest indignation of the
people, and criticising any attempt by
others at organization to meet the armed
conspiracy of Grant, Sherman and
Chandler. They have discountenanced
public meetings, conventions and
armed preparations to resist vio
lence and revolution. Foremost in
this line of submission and peace
at any price has been Mr. Hewitt, the
Chairman of the National Democratic
Executive Committee, and the pretended
representative of Mr. Tilden in the halls
of Congress. The opinion of the best
Democrats in Congress has been all along
that bis assumed leadership and un
founded impersonation of Mr. Tilden was
ruinous and fatal to any healthy and
logical plan of action. He has run the
whole business as if the saving of his
bonds and money was the be all, end all,
of public policy. But the other day
he declared that an assemblage
of Democrats in this city on
The Western Democracy Aronsed—No
Compromise with Fraud.
The excitement over the Presidential
question is becoming intense throughout
the country. Especially in the West are
the people becoming aroused to the dan
ger which threatens their liberties. In
several of the Western States conventions
have been held, by which strong resolu
tions were passed, denouncing the Radi
cal conspiracy to reverse the decision at
the ballot box in November, calling upon
Congress to stand firmly by the Constitu
tion, and declaring the resolute
determination of the people to
resist fraud and usurpation. On Friday
last the largest convention ever assem
bled in Kentucky was held in Louisville.
Many of the mo3t prominent men of the
State were present, by whom earnest and
eloquent speeches were made, all breath
ing the spirit of unyielding devotion to
the principles of the Constitution, civil
liberty and the right of self government.
The following resolutions, presented by
Hon. Isaac Caldwell, Chairman of the
Committee ou Resolutions, were unani
mously adopted:
Resolved, That we reaffirm our ancient
faith in republican institutions, our devo
tion to the Union of the States, the doc
trine that the Federal Government
strictly one of delegated powers, aid that
each State has the right to regulate its
own domestic concerns. •
Resolved, That it is our firm conviction
that Samuel J. Tilden and Thomas A.
Hendricks, at the late election for Presi
dent and Vice President, received not
only a large majority of the popular vote,
but also a large majarity of the electoral
vote, and that liberty and the Constitu
tion demand that they shall be placed in
the offices to which the voice of the peo
pie has called them.
Resulted, That a count of the electoral
votes by the President of the Senate,
without the concurrence and direction of
both house? of Congress, would be in
violation of the Constitution, contrary to
usage, revolutionary in character, and an
act of usurpation to which the people will
not submit.
Resolved, That we will sustain our
Senators and Representatives in Con
gress in the maintenance of their con
stitutional powers and the fearless dis
charge of their duties, unawed by at
tempted usurpations by the Senate or
Yneuace of military power by the Presi
dent.
Resolved, That an appeal to arms is the
last desperate remedy of a free people in
dauger of being enslaved, but may be
come a necessary remedy in resistance to
destructive usurpations and military des
potism. We urge upon our Senators and
Representatives the exhaustion of all
peaceful means consistent with honor and
with the Constitution for averting the
perils with which our institutions are
threatened before leaving the people to
the dire alternative of submitting to
tyranny or fighting for freedom.
Resolved, That every State in the
Union is the equal of every other State,
and Kentucky does now, 03 heretofore,
protest against the claim that certain
States may ba treated by the Federal
Government differently from tbe treat
ment accorded other States. She avows
that this is a Union of equal States, and
that outrages committed upon any State
are outrages upon, and full of danger to.
all the State*. She denounces the use
of military force in upholding illegal
governments in Louisiana and South
Carolina with the same warmth and in
dignation with which she would resent
the seizure of her capital as a barracks
and the inspection of tbe certificates of
her legislators by a corporal of the guard.
Resolved, That we unite with the De
mocracy of Ohio in the request that the
national committee call a national con
vention, and, in response to the action of
the Democracy of Indiana, the chairman
of this convention is directed to appoint
a committee ou Federal relations, to con
sist of nine (9; members, to whom power
is given to select delegates to represent
Kentucky in any convention that may be
called, and to take such other steps
the exigencies of the times may require.
Resolved, That we look with apprehen
sion upon the resort to unusual tribunals
for the settlement of the questions now
in issue; and we believe that the firm ex
ercise of its constitutional powers by the
House of Representatives will result in
the proper adjustment of the troubles
now threatening the country.
Commending the resolutions to its
readers, the Courier-Journal remarks that
“the declaration of the ultimate right of
an appeal to arms is one very appropri
ately made at this time, when the denial
of that right of the people for their pre
tection against formidable usurpation of
power has been so repeatedly uttered by
the conspirators who have been seeking
to accomplish their unlawful purpose by
fraud and fores.”
More of Zach Chandler's Rascality.
Some telegrams of Zich Chandler and
others of the Republican Campaign Com
mittee, brought to light by the investiga
tion of the committee on the powers and
privileges of the House, confirm the
statements which have been made that
North Carolina was at first included in
the plans of the conspirators. On No
vember 8th, \V. E. Chandler telegraphed
to Keough, the Chairman of the Repub
lican State Committee of North Carolina,
that they trusted that the State “will
turn out when the returns are all in to
have gone for Hayes. If, however, it lias
not, and the State is close, and there has
been intimidation and fraud on the part
of the Democrats, we trust that your
Republican Governor will not give any
certificate to the electors.” The invita
tion to commit fraud could hardly be
plainer. It will be recollected that about
the same time Kilpatrick was dispatched
to the State. The proofs of conspiracy
accumulate so that the blindest partisan
cannot but acknowledge the fact.
New York to Speak Out.—A consul
tation of leading Democrats was held in
New York on Wednesday evening, at
which it was decided to hold a public
meeting in that city before the end of the
present month, to give expression to the
view8 of the people of New York on the
Presidential question. The call for the
meeting will invite all persons, whatever
may be their political preferences, to at
tend. The meeting is not to be called to
declare in favor of either of the Presi
dential candidates, but to demand that
the electoral vote shall be fairly counted
by Congress, and that whoever shall be
declared by Congress to have been hon -
estly elected, shall be peacefully inaugu
rated. It ia believed that the call will be
signed by many of the merchants and
bankers who signed the memorial recently
presented to Congress.
the occasion of counting the electoral
vote would justify Grant in bringing here
his whole army. With 6uch a leader,
whether commissioned or not, the Demo
crats in Congress find themselves in a po
sition where they are compelled to choose
between an ascertainment of the vote by
this commission or an inauguration of
Hayes by the army. The tried men of
the party are not responsible for the situ
ation which makes a compromise neces
sary. They hope and believe that they
have taken the best course to insure Til-
den's peaceable inauguration which is
now practicable.”
Hebrews in Palestine.—A recent
traveler remarks that he saw everywhere
in Palestine, “from Dan to Baersheba,”
evidencs of the renewed activity of the
ancient people. They are said to be
flocking into the country from every part
of Europe. They do not come empty
handed, but buy all the land offered for
sale, especially traGts near Jerusalem.
The plan is suggested that, in the present
impecunious condition of Turkey, the
Jews might themselves issue a Turkish
loan, conditioned that they should have a
local government of their own, with a
nominal acknowledgment by the Turkish
Government—in other words, that their
dividends should pay their taxes—or that
they should really buy the government of
the land of their fathnrs, but put the pur
chase in a form not to disturb Ottonjan
pride. There have been loss promising
schemes than this “floated.”
Prtctical Effect of the Electoral Bill.
A prominent Democratic Senator is
reported to have remarked on Friday,
that the practical effect of the bill would
be as f jIIowf: Under the rule requiring
the concurrent action of the two houses
to reject an electoral vote where there is
only one return from a State, the result
would be that Tilden would have counted
for him one hundred and eighty-four
electoral votes, while Hayes would have
one hundred and sixty-five votes, leaving
the twenty electoral votes depending
upon the contested returns from Ore
gon, Florida, Louisiana and South
Carolina to be adjucated by
the Commission of Arbitration. In
the case of Oregon, he thought it certain
that the court or commission must decide
either that Cronin was an elector, or,
more probably, that Oregon had lost an
electoral vote. In the last case, even
should the other States be counted for
Hayes, the election would go to tbe
House of Representatives, where Tilden
would certainly be elected. But there
was Florida, the first State with doable
returns, where there would be produced
a decision of a court and a tabulated
statement of returns which was before
the court, both showing that the State
had voted for Tilden. He thought that
State must be counted for Tilden, and his
election morally certain.

[Special Correspondence of the Morning News. ]
A correspondent writes to the Boston
Advertiser on the subject of the Oregon
electoral dispute, and makes a point
against that paper which it cannot
meet and dare not attempt to. It is this:
“Watts was not an elector: he had not
been chosen by the people, since he was
ineligible; and his resignation was of no
more consequence than could hsve been
the resignation of any other citizen of
Oregon w ho had not been chosen by the
people. Neither the Governor nor the
electoral college, nor any other tribunal,
competent or incompetent, has, so far as
we know; declared the election of any
Oregon elector void. It is difficult to
see, therefore, how any vacancy, in the
sense in which the law of that State uses
the work, existed in the college, or could
be filled.”
Kimball House, January 20.—Our
recent severe cold spell has made a sud

the
How the times change aDd how we
change with them! The convention
which nominated Abraham Lincoln for
the Presidency had this plank in its
platform :
“Resolved, That the maintenance in
violate of the rights of the States, and
especially of the right of each State to
order and control its domestic institu
tions according to its own judgment ex
clusively, is essential to that balance of
power on which the perfection and en
durance of our political power depend ;
and ice denounce the lawless invasion by
armed force of Vce soil of any State or Ter
ritory. no matter under irhat pretext, as
among the greatest of crimes.”
The New York Sun says : “Grant will
be remembered for his peculiar system of
rewards and punishments, if for nothing
else. Luckey gets a fat office, Babcock
is retained in profitable places, Murtagh
is reappointed, and the convicted whisky
thieves are pardoned out of prison as fast
as the President can sign the necessary
documents. Bristow, Bluford Wilson,
and Yaryan are dismissed without grace
or good-bye. It will puzzle the future
hiatorian to determine which were the
honest servants of the public and which
the rogues.”
The Rumbling of the Coming Earth •
quake.—Speaking for the Western
Democracy, the Courier Journal says:
Chandler, Cameron, Taft, Grant, and
the whole treasonable spawn of Grantism
may make up their minds that there will
be an earthquake about March 4 if there
is any attempt made to hoist Rutherford
B. Hayes into the White House against
the will of the people and against
the legal certainty of the right of Tilden
and Hendricks to the offices of President
and Vice President.”
The Electoral Commission.—The
four Associate Justices named by the bill
are Judge Nathan Clifford, of Maine, of
the Second Circuit: Judge Wm. M. Strong,
of Pennsylvania, of the Third Circuit;
Judge Samuel F. Miller, of the Eighth
Circuit, and Judge Stephen J. Field, of
California, of the Ninth Circuit. These
four are to choose a fifth from the
remaining Justices in any manner they
please.
It is understood that the Chief Justice,
who is said to have had disagreeable per
sonal relations with Mr. Tilden, has posi
tively decided not to have anything to do
with the settlement of the Presidential
question. If this be true, the name of
Judge Davis, who has no decided party
connection, presents itself as the fairest
that could be selected to complete the
tribunal.
In his message Gov. Hartranft admits
that Pennsylvania is in such a lawless
condition that each sheriff should keep a
hundred or more armed men about him
to suppress outrages, and yet he appears
to think that it is not necessary to call
for United States troops. It makes a
difference which side of Mason and
Dixon's line outrages occur.
The fact that gold is down to 105i,
induces the Dadu Nation to believe that
we have been humbugged by many gam
blers for sixteen years, and that there
never was a time when treasury notes
should not have been at par.
Fred Douglass is despondent, and says:
“Tilden’s inauguration will completely
unchain the devil, and I think he will
come in great wrath.” As Fred knows
who the devil wants, he is mufti con
cerned for the safety of himself and the
leading men of his party.
Deplorable, if True.—A dreadful
rumor prevails that both Beast Butler and
Pinchback have gone over to the Demo
crats.
American Colonels in the service of the
Khedive of Egypt receive as pay $230
per month, with allowances for quarters
and duty in the provinces. Contracts
are made for five years, with the right of
renewal on the part of the government.
Traveling expenses from the United
States are paid, and in case of an hon
orable discharge, the return expenses,
with six months’ lull pay, are granted.
If an officer is compelled to resign
on account of the climate, he re
ceives two months’ pay and mileage
home. In case of death from ordinary
causes, the widow or family receives one
year’s full pay; but if the officer is killed
in battle, or is wounded so that death
ensues, his widow receives a pension
equal to half his pay, which is continued
until her death or remarriage, when it is
divided among the children until the
boys become of age and the girls marry.
An oath of fidelity is exacted, and all
American officers are obliged to i
nounce the protection of our diplomatic
agents and trust to the Egyptian tribu
nals.
Miss Linney, of Sacramento, was in
clined to marry Mr. Roberts, but she said
that she could not become the wife of a
poor man. Sho would wait a reasonable
time for him to make a fortune, and
whenever he was in a condition to sup
port her in elegance he might claim her.
He went to San Francisco, embarked in
mining speculations, and made money
rapidly. A few months ago he told her
that he possessed a hundred thousand
dollars. She said that the sum was satis

suit her for the wedding. Then he coolly
told her that he had changed his mind,
and had no idea of marrying her. She has

the constitutional contention.
The discussion of the Constitutional
Convention bill this morning disclosed an
earnest purpose on the part of prominent
members to press the matter to a decisive
vote at once, both to save expense of de
lay and to settle a Vexed question in such
a manner as to get it cat of the way of
all bills and resolutions looking to re
trenchment and reform. Hon. G. T
Fry, of Fuafcu, seems more desirous of
getting his own bill through, and by that
means so amend the constitution as to
make a convention unnecessary. I doubt,
however, if the House will adopt his
views on this subject, and your readers
may expect to hear that a convention has
been decided upon before the close of the
coming week.
GETTING DOWN TO HARD WORK.
Although the air is redolent with the
fragrance of the retrenchment and reform
movement, it cannot be denied that
great deal of time has been wasted in the
introduction of frivolous resolutions and
useless bills. Also, in discussing points
and motions that should have been ac
cepted without a word of objection,
do not complain of short daily sessions
each morning, as at present two seasions
are not practicable; and on Monday this
course will be pursued, and active opera
tions inaugurated to push all legislation
farward without delay. Under the new
rules of the House, of which I have al
ready telegraphed, Speaker Bacon pro
poses to show the people of Georgia a
cheap and expeditious mede of legisla
tion.
JUDGE REESES CONVICT BILL.
In bis advocacy of his bill to provide a
supervisory physician for the convict
camps of the State, Senator Reese ut
tered the very words found in your “Tap
ping of the Wires” on yesterday. Judge
Reese is one of the clearest headed
strongest-minded, noblest-heaited mem
bers of the Senate, and his grand speech
stirred a resporse in every heart present.
In glowing and pathetic language he pic
tured the helpless condition of these con
victs, separated into three camps, and
entirely at the mercy of their employers.
Over these poor unfortunates, thus
situated, the State must exercise
protecting care, in the interest of
Humanity. The appointment of the pro
posed supervisory physician looks to this
object. He is to visit the camps once in
every two months, and inspect every
convict in these various camps. Bat
another important feature, and one that
should not be overlooked, is that which
gives the physician power to examine
into the fidelity and skill of the physi
cians employed by the lessees to look
after their convicts in cases of sickness
In defence of his proposition to pay
this physician a salary of two thousand
dollars, Judge Reese uttered your very
words. Let us employ a good mac
skillful physician, one who understands
his business and will attend to it in
proper manner, and let us pay him what
such a man ought to be worth to the
State in the faithful discharge of his du
ties. So clear was his logic, so earnest
his appeal for the exercise of a generous
humanity, that every Senator heartily
supported his bill, and secured its imme
diate passage. And in the House to-day,
m discussing appointments and salaries,
Hon. R. J. Moses, of Muscogee, Hon. J.
D. Stewart, of Randolph, and Hon. John
H. James, of Fulton, gave utterance to
the same sentiments, contending that
there was no economy in employing in
any position incompetent officials at low
salaries. Let us, said these Representa
tives, seek out good men, trustworthy
and fully competent for the discharge of
the duties which we propose to de
volve upon them, and let us pay such
men fair and living salaries. This is the
only true pathway to a judicious and per
manent system of public economy and re
form.
HON. B. H. HILL SPEAKS.
The hall of the House of Representa
tives was densely packed in every part
to-night at an early hour to hear the an
nounced address of the Hon. B. H. Hill
to the members of the Legislature. On
making his appearance this gentleman
was received w :th immense applause, and
was introduced by the Hon. J. D. Stew
art, of Spalding, who simply announced
that the “Hon. B. H. Hill, Georgia’s
statesman and Georgia’s orator,” would
now address the audience.
Before entering upon Lis speech, Mr.
Hill requested all newspaper reporters
present to refrain from making any re
port or synopsis of the remarks which he
was about to make. In due time he
would furnish every paper with a correct
copy of his speech. Chatham.
Washington, January 21.—Secretary
Chandler’s dispatch to General Martin,
Tallahassee, saying, “Can you certainly de
feat all Democratic frands by false counting
or bribery to capture it?” is interpreted by
Democrats here to mean, can you certainly
by fraud, false counting or bribery, defeat
all Democratic attempts ?
The repeated efforts of correspondents to
obtain specific information relative to the
movements of troops, etc., though baulked
at the War Department, is developed in the
army and navy edition of the Washington
Sunday Htrald, which paper has arrange
ments perfected with every headquarters
throughout the country, and a shrewd man
at the helm, who scents the meaning of
every order received through it, and Mont
gomery Blair’s new paper, the Union.
Many facts purposely omitted in other local
papors and not in the ken of correspondents
have been ventilated.
A few days ago an engraver in Bristol,
England, happening to look through his
shop window, observed an elderly gentle
man, whom he recognized as an excise
officer, attentively scanning the outside
of his premises. After satisfying his
cariosity by an outside inspection, he
entered the shop, note book and pencil
in hand, and opened a conversation with
the proprietor. “Mr. J., I believe?”
“Yes, I am Mr. J.” “You keep a trap, I
understand?” “Yes." “Have you a li
cense for that trap?” “No.” Down
goes an entry of this candid admission in
the note book. “Did you have a license
last year?” “No.” Another entry in
the book. “Why did you not take out a
license?” “I did not think it was neces
sary.” “How many does your trap hold?”
“Five.” Another memorandum. “How
many wheels has it? ’ “None!” “None!’
why, what sort of a trap is it?” “A
mouse trap.” Tableau.
And now comes intelligence from Balti
more that the Hon. George Wells, for
fifty years President of the Farmers’ and
Planters’ Bank of Annapolis, Md., has
defaulted to the amount of from fifty to
one hundred thousand dol’ars. It is a
new instance of breach of trust where
trust was most implicitly given, and
shows again that . conventional respect
ability, though long maintained and
highly honored, is not always the out
ward garment of uprightness.
Passed Safely Through Two Wars
to Die Miserably by a Syringe.—Gir-
clecille, 0., January 13.—A distressing
accident happened at Lockbourne recent
ly by which it is said Dr. R. G. McLeaD
will lose his life. He was illustrating the
use of the syringe for the hypodermic
injection of morphine, so that a young
lady could administer it when necessary
to her mother. He had the syringe filled
with water, and made a slight puncture
with it in his own arm. The syringe
must have had something in it which
poisoned him, for his arm is swollen so
he will have to die. He is generally un
conscious. Dr. McLean was the cousin
and companion-in-arms, though younger,
of General Winfield Scott, whose living
image he is. He served with-honor in
Mexico and the late war, and is much be
loved in the neighborhood where he re
sides.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

THE SITUATION IN LOUISIANA.
Another Addition to the Democratic
ilouse.
Capt. James B. Eads, who is about to
receive an installment of $500,000 for
his work of opening the mouth of the
Mississippi, is in his fifty-seventh year,
and a native of Lawrenceburg, Ind. At
a very early age he evinced a strong taste
for machinery, and at eleven constructed
without any instruction a miniature en
gine that worked perfectly with steam.
He has struggled upward to the posses
sion of a large private fortune, excellent
health and thoroughly American taste,
passing such grades as apple peddler,
clerk, Mississippi wrecker, proprietor of
the first glass blowing establishment in
the West, and builder of twenty-seven
iron clad gun and mortar boats.
The Pacific coast States are commenc
ing to complain almost as loudly of dull
times as those on the Atlantic border, and
already several heavy failures are an
nounced among some of the leading
houses of San Francisco.
THE EASTERN SITUATION.
BREAK (NO CP OF THE COSFERBNC E
BREAKING UP OF THE CONFERENCE.
London, January 20.—Tbe conference is
ended. General Ignatieff laid strega
upou the responsibility renting on the Porte,
and hoped Turkey would not undertake war
with Servia and Montenegro.
The dispatches do not indicate Russia’s
course.
A dispatch to Reuter’s Telegram Com
pany from Constantinople says : Savfet
Pasha opened the proceedings at to- lay’s
sitting of the conference by' reading a note,
stating that the Porte might come to au
understanding with the powers on certain
points in detail, but, passing over
m eilenco the proposal to leave to it the ap
poiutment of Governors, and, instead
of au international commission, pro
posing a local elective commission, pre
sided over by an Ottoman functionary.
Finally Savfet suggested that the settle
ment of the questions relating to
Servia and Montenegro will be re
served for an ulterior decision. Thereupon
Lord Salisbury declared that the Porte,
having refused the two chief guarantees
demanded by the powers, there no longer
was auy common basis for discussion, and
the conference therefore must be regarded
at an end.
Gen. Ignatieff, the Russian plenipoten
tiary, spoke similarly. He declared the Porte
proposal unacceptable, laid stress upon the
responsibility resting on the Porte, and ex
pressed the hope that Turkey would not un
dertake hostilities against Servia and Mon
tenegro, bat cause tho position of her
Christian subjects to be respected. The
conference then broke up. Lord Salisbury
and General Ignatieff leave Monday and
ihe other plenipotentiaries in the course of
the week.
St. Petersburg, January 20.—A Berlin
telegram which was published on Thursday
last,stating that Prince Gortschakoff issued a
circular to the Russian representatives
abroad expressing the belief that Turkey
would reject the conference proposals, and
declaring that Russia could not undertake a
warlike policy because Europe would not
support her and might form a coalition
against her, is a pure invention. No circular
of any kind has been issued. The Czar
awaits official cognizance of the results at
Constantinople bi fore adopting a decision
respecting his next steps.
Constantinople, January 20.—Savfet
Pasha justified the note he road at the con
ference to-day by the decision of the Grand
Council. Before the dissolution of the con
ference General Ignatieff spoke on behalf
of tho Cretans.
Lord Salisbury said Europe would gladly
see the Porte extend reforms to its entire
territory.
The departure of the Ambassadors does
not imply a rupture of diplomatic relations,
as the Charges d’Affairs remain.
WASHINGTON WEATHER PROPHET.

FROM THE PACIFIC SLOPE.
San Francisco, January 20.—A San Diego
dispatch says a company is being formed
there to build a railroad to Yuma, on a direct
line of the Texas Pacific. Tbe government
will be asked to grant some of the aid given
other roads. A meeting will be held to
night to consider the question.
Another San Diego dispatch says: “The
lately deposed Governor Tillagrana, of
Lower California, has arrived at Lipas
from San Francisco, en route to Mazatlin,
to obtain troops and a war vessel from the
General Government to reins’ate himself.”
H. C. Bennett, a defaulting pension
agent, has been sentenced to a one thous
and dollar fine or two years in jail.
The storm still continues, and it is snow
ing heavy on the Sierra Nevada mountains.
Snow plows are breaking the track. A Cen
tral Pacific overland, with a double and' de
layed passenger train from tbo Union Pa
cific, were detained east of Verdi yesterday
by the plow leaving the track.
