They have got the silver fever bad in
Ohio, and it is giving a deal of trouble to
the Republicans. Mr. Hayes’ recent
declarations on this subject were in
tended to put his party right in the home
State; but /« the consternation of the
political manipulators, the Ohioans are
not satisfied with what he has said, and
cry, as greedily as ever Oliver Twist did,
“for more.” They say they have quite
as much right to look to the Secretary of
the Treasury as to the President for
evidences of the administration’s views
on this subject; so it is demanded that
Sherman shall come out without any
“ifs” and “ands” for an unlimited silver
tender, or that Hayes shall turn him out.
The prodiction is made by certain wise
parties in Washington that in obedience
to this demand Sherman will soou ex
ecute a complete somersault on the
silver question, only to tumble back to
his old position when the eleotion is over.
The Fast Mail Service.
We publish elsewhere the report of a
committee appointed at a meeting of the
oit : zrns of Savnnnah to confer with the
United States Postal Commission on the
subject of establishing a fast mail service
which will afford to the South advantages
equal to those which such a service has
heretofore conferred on the North. The
report is very exhaustive, and we can do
no better than simply refer all those in
terested in the matter to the document
itself.
It seems that one such fast mail line
between New York and New Orleans, via
Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta, has
already been determined on, aud the point
now under consideration is the establish-
ment'of another line, which will prove of
advantage to this and other cities
on the South Atlantic coast. If the sug
gestion made by the committee of
establishing a fast mail route from
Havana, Cuba, via Cedar Key,
along the Atlantic coast to the
North, be carried out, the line
would pass via Richmond, Norfolk,
Wilmington, Florence, Charleston,
Brunswick, Savannah, and other coast
cities, and would proveof great advantage
to all, aud especially to the city of Sa
vannah. But it is very manifest that,
as tho report says, if any other route,
such ns that known as the Richmond Air
Line for instance, be adopted, very little
if any, benefit would be conferred by it
upon our coast cities, as they would
then all be at considerable distance
from
the main
line,
and would
there -
fore
be wholly
dependent
upon
the
lateral
lines
running
oat
from
them.
The
result would be
The Albany correspondent of the New
York Sun asserts, “from positive infor
mation,” that Senator Conkling means
war in earnest against the President.
“His attack,” says this correspondent,
“will be aimed at relieving the Republi
can party and the country from the wrong
committed when Ilayes was fraudulently
counted in and declared elected as Presi
dent after he had been defeated;” and to
this end he will propose legislation at the
next session of Congress providing for a
judicial review and investigation into the
case of disputed electoral returns, such
as those of Florida and Louisiana. It
will be remembered that Mr, Conkling
earnestly supported the bill creating the
Electoral Commission and made a long
speech in its behalf. The fact that he
has kept aloof from the present adminis
tration and has asked no favors however,
lends color to the supposition that he is
inimical to it.
At the banquet given Grant at the
Trinity House, Loudon, Saturday, the
ex President, by some means or other,
got confused, and sadly marred in its de
livery the speech Pierrepout had pre
viously prepared for him. His incoher
ence, however, may possibly be accounted
for by the circumstance that the company
had been sitting at table a long time.
Beast Butler has been delivering a lec
ture entitled “The Irishman as a Soldier.”
As the position of the Irish soldier is
always at the front, while that of the
Beast was as universally far in the rear,
it is difficult to understand how he could
treat the subject, without the aid of a
powerful field glass.
Since the Democratic Congress forced
Mr. Hayes to run the government on the
retrenchment schedule one thousand
clerks have been discharged from the de
partments at Washington, resulting in a
saving to the government of more than
four thousand dollars a day.
that mails to this, aud other points simi
larly situated, would not only undergo
very little change in the time of their re
ception and delivery, but the discrimina
tion from which these cities would
suffer by the increased facilities
given to New Orleans—making
the time between New York and
the latter city only seven hours greater
than between New York and this point—
would be very detrimental to their pros
perity. •
The point made by the committee
regarding the great benefits the line they
suggest would confer on the General Gov
ernment also is a very important one,and
on j which the commission can hardly over
look. It is this: The commerce of New
Orleans,Pensaoola, Mobile aud Galveston,
gregated in 1875, $114,470,487, which
cities already enjoy fast mail facilities,
whUe thatof Wilmington,Charleston,Port
Royal, Savannah, Brunswick and Fernan-
dina aggregated daring the same year
50.OG4.OGti, and if to this be added the
commerce of Cuba during that year the
sum will amount, according to the com
mittee’s report, to $113,359,463, only a
difference of very little more than $1,-
000,000. Now, when this is considered,
and when it is remembered that
letter from the OutaD coast—
only one hundred and thirty-five miles
distant from the Florida coast to Savannah
has now to be transported one thousand
threo hundred and thirty-five miles by
ssa before it can reach a point of distri
bution, and then has to be transported
back eight hundred and seventy-four
miles by raU,consuming six and a half days
i its passage, the necessity for this line
from Cedar Key, via the Atlantic coast,
s very apparent. And this is made still
more apparent when it is further consid
ered that by tho proposed Cedar Key
jute the same letter would only have
to be transported four huudrad aud
twenty miles by sea, and three hundred
aud fifty-one miles by rail, and would
then reach its destination in two days.
Of course what would thus benefit Sav
annah would likewise benefit proportion
ately all the cities along the South At
lantic coast, the natural receptacles for
this valuable Cuban trade, which would
thereby be greatly facilitated, and, con
sequently, stimulated. We only touch
on this one point of the able
report of the committee. The
report itself, however, will, upon a care
ful perusal, suggest many others of such
importancj that the Postal Commission
cannot but be impressed with them. We
heartily commend the report, therefore,
to its careful consideration.
both under the civil rights bill and at com
mon law. It is not though*, however, that
the penalties of the law will be invoked,
but we notice that already several Hebrew
homes have withdrawn their patronage
from the house of A. T. Stewart it Co.,
which, it is estimated, will thereby be
come a loser to the extent of from
$3,000,000 to $5,000,000 annually—a sum
which even that establishment cannot well
afford to throw away.
However this may be, it is very
certain that the popular verdict is
against the Judge. The public fully
recognizes the right of any hotel keoper
to protect his interests by refusing ac
commodations to the disreputable or un
worthy of any class; but no right think
ing man will for a moment countenance,
in this enlightened age, proscription for
religious opinion only. The spirit of
narrow miodedness and bigotry which has
been here displayed will, as it should,
meet with a severe rebuke.

The Restrictions Against the Jews.
The New Y'ork Times says the Seligman
brothers have received various private
letters condemning Judge Hilton’s policy
in excluding Jews from the Grand Union
Hotel, Saratoga, the most notable ones
being from Mr. William Cullen Bryant
General Roger A. Pryor, Mr. Jackson S
Sohultz, ex-Mayor Wickham, John H.
Sherwood aud George W. Blunt. Several
Jewish firms aro mentioned by Mr. Lau
terbach, attorney for the Seligmans,
having withdrawn their accounts yester
day from A, T. Stewart & Co. Mr. Hil
ton still maintains his position, and is
supported in it by many correspondents,
He has received scores of letters com
mending him. He thinks that Long
Branch hotel men are with him, as well
as other smaller places.
The following card appears in the New
York papers, addressed to the editor of
the New Y'ork Times:
“We notice in yonr issue of this morn
ing the report of an interview with Judge
Hilton, bearing upon Mr. Seligman’s re
lations to the other members of the syn
dicate, in which it is stated that ‘the po
sition of the Seligmans in the syndicate is
distasteful to the other members of that
organization.’ Judge Hilton is under
misapprehension as to the relations of the
Messrs. Seligman with their associates,
which always have been and are of the
most satisfactory character. Yours re

[By Cable to the Morning News.]
There is excitement in Baltimore over
the tumble in Baltimore St Ohio stock.
Thursday there was a fall of $15 a share,
from $95 to $80. This is a total decline
of $43 per share within sixty days.
Marietta A Cincinnati and Pittsburg St
Connellsviile, whose bonds are guaran
teed by the Baltimore & Ohio, also fell off
heavily. The city of Baltimore. State of
Maryland and Johns Hopkins University
are large holders of this stock.
The bellgiuan-Hilton Matter.
The press of the country generally has
taken up, with considerable zest, the sub
jeot of the late refusal of Judge HiltoD,
successor to A. T. Stewart’s estate, to
permit Mr. Joseph Seligman and family
to board at the Grand Union Hotel, at
Saratoga, and we are very glad to find
that the action of tho former is
universally condemned. At first it
was believed that this extraordinary
proceeding on the part of the Lotel
proprietor was prompted by feelings of
personal animosity towards the banker.
Such it seems is not the case. Judge
Hilton expressly denies any such feeling
on his part, but says, frankly, that he
wished to strike, through Mr. Seligman,
at the Israelites in general; that he does
not intend to receive them at his hotel as
guests, aud for no other reason than that
they are Jews.
In such a coarse, Judge Hilton hns
directly insulted an enlightened public
sentiment. Time was when it was consid
ered highly commendable to proscribe the
Jewish race, and to persecute them on ac
count of their religious views, but that
time is long sinoe past. It belongs to the
darkness of the middle ages, when perse
cution, intolerance and bigotry ruled the
world, a darkness which has, happi
ly, been dissipated by the light of civili
zation, and in these latter days men are
not permitted to be persecuted for opin
ion’s sake. Judge Hilton appears to have
forgotten this. Living, as he doe a , so
close to New England, and probably
all his life subjected to the narrow
minded influences which emanate from
that section, he may have thought that
the spirit which formerly burned old
women as witches, because they did not
agree with the religious views of the old
Puritan, stiUsuivives. Perhaps it does,but
if it does,it isoonliued solely to the chil
dren of those who formerly indulged
in that pastime, not in the breasts of any
just or honorable man.
It is the boast of this country that it
offers an asylum for tho oppressed of all
other lands. When the Jews were per
secuted elsewhere, they came to Ameri.
co, “the home of the free,” to find rest
and protection. They have heretofore
found it, and of all the races which com
pose our population, none is more free
from intolerance or have made better rep
utations for quietly attending to their
own business, without interfering
with that of others. We speak that
we do know when we say that this coun
try can boast of no better class of citizens,
as citizens, than this people, for here in
Savannah they form a large portion of
our population, and are justly regarded
as being among our most highly respect
ed, useful and influential residents.
Mr. Stewart’s successor will find out
that he has made a great mistake. Not
only is popular opinion strongly enlisted
against him, but it is by no means
certain that he will not also suf
fer for his rude bigotry in a pe
cuniary way. Mr. Seligman’s counsel
assert that he has a clear cause of action
for damages against the hotel proprietori
There is already considerable activity

Savannah District Conference.
Whitesville, June 23.—Editor Morn
ing Neics: The pastors finished up their
reports on Friday. A general review of
affairs was given. Most of the churches
are prospering. The prospect for the
present year is encouraging. Peace and
harmony generally prevails. Many of
the laymen took part in these reports,
speaking principally of the financial
affairs.
Rev. R. B. Lester, of Greensboro, read
a lengthy report presented by the com
mittee on the state of the church. The
report concluded with a touching notice
of Savannah’s recent affliction and of the
loss to the District of Dr. Myers, who
heroically stood to his post until the
Great Head of the church oalled him
from the field of suffering and a life of
self-denial to his rewind in the skies.
The following resolution was offered
by Revs. Corley and Burch and was unan
imously adopted:
Resolved, That this Conference heartily
endorses the effort of our beloved brother,
Rev. A. M. Wynn, to build the Wesley
Monumental Church, as a memorial of
the labors of our honored founder in the
city of Savannah. That we will, to the
extent of onr ability, co operate with him
in this movement, and recommend the
enterprise to the liberality and prayers
of our entire membership.
Rev. Mr. Wynn made a few remarks
and stated he would soon go abroad to
solicit aid from all Methodist denomina
tions who held to the great dootrines of
Wesley and Methodism, every one of
whom he felt sure would be justly proud
to honor themselves by helping to build
this monument to their honored bead,
whose footprints were among the first
evangelists to tread the soil of the new
world.
Rev. L. B. Payne, agent of the South
Georgia Conference Orphans’ Home, is
in attendance, and after giving an inter
esting account of the management ana
the gracious work the Home is accomplish
ing, presented its claims. He met with
ti liberal response. It would be well for
those who have knowledge of entire
orphans, who have no one to care for
them, to put themselves in communi
cation with the agent at Macon, Ga. He
is prepared to provide for forty or fifty
more.
Surely there is no nobler work beneath
the sun than caring for and training these
poor little unfortunate waifs, cast out
upon the cold charities of the world
without benefactor or friends. This is
the brightest virtue in the Christian re
ligion, and those who bestow their time
and goods for the temporal aDd spiritual
well-being of such will have many stars
to deck their diadem of eternal glory.
The Committee on Education presented
their report through Rev. Mr. Loveit. It
recommends in the highest terms Emory
College, at Oxford, aud Wesleyan Female
College, at MacoD, and urges a liberal
patronage on the par* of the people from
this section of the State.
Rev. Mr. Simmons, who was a graduate
of the one and knew well her history and
true merits, and had recently attended
the commencement exercises of the other,
spoke to the resolution, stating that no
two institutions had done more for the
sons and daughters of the South, and
that State aud ohurch had been honored
and blessed by her graduates in almost
every portion of the South and West.
The following laymen were elected
delegates to the ensuing South Georgia
Conference : Rev. R. W. Lovett, Dr. A.
F. Cheatham, C. R. Pringle, John Hous
ton.
Tift next session of this Conference
will be held at Bethany, Jefferson county.
A resolution of thanks was offered to
the citizens of Whitesville for their un
surpassed hospitality; to the Baptists for
the tender of their house of worship, and
to the Central Railroad for passing their
members to and from the Conference for
one fare.
Dr. Pierce is to preach again on to
morrow at 11 o'clock.
The session has been a very pleasant
and harmonious one indeed. Dr. Mann
proved himself to be a man in the right
place in the chair. Business was dis
patched r pialy and without friotion, and
yet giving time for every thing to be
done well.
The pastor at Whitesville, Rev. Air.
Burch, was attentive aud very courteous
to the numerous guests. We learn that
he is greatly beloved and admired by his
parishioners in Effingham. Yours,
Saturday, June 23. Wesley.
St. Petkesbubg, Juno 24.—An official
account of tho engagement fought by the
troops who crossed from Galatz aud occu
pied the Budjak heights, says: "The Rus
sian force consisted of ten companies of
iufaDtry, who crossed in boats aud wore re
ceived by a heavy fire. They, however,
valiantly attacked the heights and drove
back the euemy. The Turkish force cod
sisted of tLree thousand iufantry.threo hun
dred cavalry aDd two gnus. The Russians
having no cavalry or artillery,were obliged to
resist the Turkish cavalry with the bayonet,
The Turks withdrew on the arrival of Rus
sian reinforcements and artillery. The ltus
Bian losses were forty-eight kiled and
ninety wounded.” General Seimerman tale-
graphs that the olergy and Christian inhab
itants of Matchin received the Russians
with great ceremony. One regiment is al
ready in the town and will be reinforced by
a brigade under Gen. Jokoff.
The steamers Constantine and Viadimer
have Bailed from Sebastopol and Odessa re
spectively. The former sunk four Turkish
merchantmen on the Aotolian coast, after
putting their crews ashore. The Yladimer
captured a brig off Varney. Both Bteamers
returned to port Bafely.
Floiesta, Jane 24.—The Czar, Czarewi'ch
aud tho Grand Dukes Alexis Sergeires, and
Yladimer have returned here after visitiDg
Galatz and Ibrail.
Vienna, June 24.—The Political Corres
dence's Galatz^ spocial says: “The ninth
Russian army corps which forms the right
wing is marching aloDg the left bank cf the
Alnta towards the Danube.” The same
paper published the following semi-official
note : “As to the trnth of the various re
ports concerning Austrian preparations, we
can state positively that the government
cannot escape the duty imposed on it by the
present situation, promptly and most
gravely considering all the possibio eventu
alities in order to protect the iuterosts of
the monarchy from injury. With regard to
military measures, however, no positive de
cision whatever has beon taken up to the
present.”

GEN. GEANT’S ECltOPEAN “TOWEll.”
London, June 24 —Gen. Grant was pre
sent last night at a banquot givon by the
corporation of Trinity House. The Prince
ut Wales presided. Prince Leopold, Prince
Christian, the Priucc of Leiuiugeu, the
Prince of Saxe Weimer, the Dnko of Well
ington, the Marquis of Hertord, tbo Earl
of Derby, the Earl of Canarvon, Sir Stafford
Northcote, Mr. Cross and Chief Justice Sir
Alexander Cockburu were among the dis
tinguished company present. Tho Prince
of Wales, referring to Gen. Grant in
the course of his speech, said: “On the pre
sent occasion it is a matter of peculiar grati
fication to us as Englishmen to receive
as our guest Goncral Grant. [Cheers.] I
can assure him for mvself and for all the
loyal subjects of tho QueeD, that it has given
us great pleasure to see him as a guest in
this country.” [Cheers.]
Earl Carnavon proposed tho health
of the visitors and conpled with
; General Grant’s Dame. He said:
Strangers of all classes, men of let
ters, arts, science, state, and all that has
beeu moat worthy and great, have,as it were,
come to this c- utro ot old civi.ization. 1
venture, without disparagement to any ol
those illustrious guests, to say
that never has there been one
to whom we willingly accord a
freer, fuller, heartier welcome than we do to
General Grant on this occasion, not merely
because of his beiDg a distinguished Geu
oral, nor becanse be has twice filled the
highest office which the citizeus of his great
country can fill, bat becanse we look upon
him as representing that good will and af
fection which ought to subsist be
tween us and the United States.”
It has been my dnty to be connected with
the great dominion of Canada, stretching
several thousand miles along tho frontier of
the United States, and during the last three
or four years I can truthfully say that noth
ing impressed me more than the inter
change of friendly and good offices which
took place between the two countries under
the auspices of Gen. Grant.”
Gen. Grant replied that he felt
more impressed than he had possibly
ever felt before on any occasion. He
came here under the impression
that this was Trinity House, and that Trin
ity consisted of the army, navy and peace.
He therefore thought it was a place of
quietude, where there would be no talk or
toasts. He had been, therefore, natnrally
surprised at hearing both. He had heard
some remarks from HiB Royal Highness,
which compelled him to say a word in re
sponse. He begged to thank His Highness
for those remarks. There had been other
things said daring the evening highly grati
fying to him. Not the least gratifying
it was to hear that there were occa
sionally in this conntry party fights as
well as in America. He had seen betore now
war between three deparimouts of the
state, tbo executive, judicial and legislative.
He bad not seen tbe political parties of
England go so far as that. He would imitate
their chaplain, who had set a good example
of oratory—that was shortness, and say no
more than simply thank His Royal Highness
aud the company on behalf of tbe visitors.

K. PLITSHLK’S, 154 Broughton St.
A slight incident illustrative of the
Missouri method of “legislating for the
masses” has just been raked out of that
sink of iniquity, the State capital An
insurance bill, bearing down pretty
heavily on some of the agencies, was
passed, but the Chief Clerk of the House
failed to present it for the Governor’s
approval, and on being cited to appear
aud account for his dereliction, sloped for
Canada. All he left behind him was an
impression that he was bribed by the in
surance interest to steal the bill, and that
he earned his money.
President of the Uonreiition.
The Gwinnett Herald warmly advo
cates the election of ex-Governor Jenkins
as President of the Constitutional Con
vention. Tho Herald says: “In look
ing over the long list of able and ex
perienced men who will compose this
body, the popular mind naturally turns
to Charles J. Jenkins as the man pe
culiarly fitted for this position. A skilled
parliamentarian, an able judge, an ex
perienced politician and one of the purest
aud best men Goorgia ever bad, who has
retired from the political arena without
one blemish upon his fair name, may well
be locked to as the presiding officer of
that convention. Ten years ago, as the
Governor of the State, he refused to
surrender the trust with which the
people had clothed him at the mandate
of a military satrap, and became
voluntary exile from bis home and his
people to preserve the archives of the
State and its Treasury. S.nce then ho
bos held no office and sought none, con
lent to pass the remainder of his days as
a quiet citizen. It will be a fitting tribute
to exalted worth and patriotic devotion
to his country to call him to preside over
the deliberations of a body assembled to
form a constitution for tho people of
Georgia, when worth and intelligence are
not disfranchised, and when a partisan
msjarity in Congress does not have to be
consulted.” The lleraU voices the senti
ment of the State ou this subject. We
have little doubt that Governor Jenkins
will be elected President of the conven
lion by acclamation.—Augusta Chronicle.
