Senator Lamar and Representative Chalmers
will introduce bills in their resp* 'ctive houses
somewhat similar to that of Mr. Stephens In
regard to the Southern Pacific Railroad, making,
however, the eastern terminus at Vicksburg.
The principal amendments to the Bland
silver hill, proposed by the opponents of
that measure, are that silver shall not be
made receivable for customs duties;
that the principal and interest of the
public debt shall be paid in gold, aud
that the coinage of silver shall lie placed
at about $50,000,001) a year, with the
privilege granted to the government to
purchase silver bulliou, and realize what
ever profit it may in the coinage. Com
menting on these proposed amendments,
the Chicago Tribune says:
“It is believed that American remoneti
zation will so enhance the bullion value
of silver by breaking the corner in gold
as to leave the government no profit on
the coinage; nevertheless, the people
will accept this compromise, and leave
the desirability of free coinage to be de
termined by future developments. But
no compromise will be entertained that
contemplates any limitation of the legal-
tender quality of the silver dollar.”
Mrs. Annette Wilhelmina Wilkins
Hicks Lord was evidently determined
that, as fast as priests could make them,
her aged lover and herself should be one.
It is now alleged that two marriage ser
vices were performed, one by Cardinal
McCloskey, and another by a Protestant
clergyman. It only remains now for a
civil ceremony to be celebrated, and no
less a personage than the Mayor of the
city of New York should officiate on the
occasion. Then if the stepsons can suc
ceed in untying this threefold matrimo-
knot, they will be shrewd indeed.
The Russian Grand Dukes have worn
tire stars and feathers in the present war,
but the plebians have done the fighting.
Gcurko, Skobeleff, Melikoff, Todleben,
all sprang from the people. Their ser
vices are now being appropriately re
cognized. Todleben has command of
the Czarowitch's army, Melikoff has the
Grand Duke Michael's, Skobeleff and
Gourko have the two fighting corps in
the Grand Duke Nicholas’ army.
Mr. Pendleton's Financial Views.
Hon. George H. Pendleton, whose
election by the Ohio Legislature as United
States Senator, in place of Stanley Mat
thews, appointed to fill Sherman's unex
pired term, is announced in our tele
graphic columns, was a few days since
interviewed. In the interview he de
clared that his financial views are the
same as he held in 1808. when he was the
champion of the greenback cause. He
favors the doing away with national
banks aud advocates the issue of green
backs in place of national bank notes,
the repeal of the resumption law, the re
monetization of silver and the issue of
all circulating medium by the govern
ment, and making silver, gold and paper
interconvertible at par
The Senatorial contest in Ohio was
exciting and closely contested by leading
Democrats. Mr. Pendleton’s declaration of
hisviews on the financial question no doubt
settled the election in his favor. Nothing
is more manifest than that the people of
the great West, without respect to party,
arc- resolved on some practical measure'
of financial relief, and their failure to se
cure the remonetization of silver will
only lead to the agitation and final adop
tion of some other popular measure, less
acceptable, perhaps, to the bondholders
and money loaners than silver remone
tization.
A lynching in Bakerfield, Cal., had pe
culiar features. The mob demanded
five robbers of the Sheriff, but he tied
with the keys of the jail. Three hours
of hard work with sledges and crowbars,
however, delivered the five culprits into
the lynchers’ hands. A court room was
opened, and the usual forms of a crimi
nal trial were observed. A Judge, law
yers for the prosecution and the defence,
and a jury were chosen without trouble;
but there was a difficulty about witnesses.
The testimony for the prosecution was
meagre, and all hearsay. The jury agreed
without delay, however, and the priso
ners were sentenced to be hanged imme
diately in the yard of the court house.
Will Mr. Hayes Succumb!
Yery conflicting reports reach us as to
the future course to be adopted by Mr.
Hayes. On one band, we are informed
authoritatively that he is anxious for a
reconciliation with the Blaine-Conkling-
Chandler wing of the Radical party, and
will endeavor to appease them by doing
no act hereafter which will excite the ire
of these, his bitter foes; while on the
other, it is stated in equally as authori
tative manner that he “ has made up his
mind,and that mind is this: “He does not
care a fig for Roscoe Conkling, or a mil
lion of men like him. He intends—nay,
is firmly resolved—to pursue the even
tenor of his Way under every and all cir
cumstances. Conkling’s rage only makes
Mr. Hayes smile.”
Although it is impossible to predict at
any time what line of conduct a Radical
administration will pursue—for “in ways
that are dark,"etc., such an administra
tion can always put the most heathenish
of heathen Chinese to the blush—we are
strongly inclined to believe the latter
statement regarding Mr. Hayes’ future
course to be correct. Indeed it seems to
bo perfectly plain that this is the only
determination to which Mr. Hayes, as a
rational man, can arrive, since by suc
cumbing he forfeits everything, while by
resisting he has nothing to lose and,may
hap, something to gain.
What would be the natural result if he
were to yield? He would immediately
alienate from him all the friends of his
own party, as well as the friendly feel-
irgs of all such of the Democracy as he
has gained by repudiating Grantism and
adopting a liberal policy: That he can
not afford to do this is very evident.
Even in his own party ranks there are
thousands who approve his course
and are violently opposed to the
conduct of the ultra Radicals. Noth-
tng has ever been more clearly
proven thau this has been by the action
of the Radical Convention in Chandler’s
own State, New Hampshire, the pro
ceedings of which we published yester
day morning. In that convention, though
the prevailing sentiment Wits declared to
be simply “a choice between Republican
and Democratic rule,” we read that the
proceedings were characterized by great
boisterousness and an utter lack of har
mony. Several delegates made severe
personal attacks on Chandler, one going
so far as to denounce him as “a political
tramp" and a dishonest lobbyist, while
another, speaking of Hayes’ South
ern policy, uttered most liberal
sentiments, saying that “he was
ready to shake hands with
the man who had put a bullet
through his arm.” So high, indeed, ran
passionate feeling that the scene is de
scribed as “stormy, with some personal!
ties smelling of pistols and coffee." But,
in spite of all this uproar, caused only
by the partisans of Chandler, the latter
was rebuked and resolutions were adopt
ed approving Mr. Ilayes’ administration.
Of course, then, if he yields to Conkling,
Blaine and Chandler he at once antago
nizes all these his friends, and since they
are in the majority, who can doubt but
that he will thereby make more enemies
than he will gaiu allies?
Again, if he succumbs be will thus
alieuate his friends without gaining the
respect of his enemies. For how will he
then appear? Only as a man devoid of
all principle aud without the slightest
particle of manhood or strength of char
acter. He will have yielded up every
position on which he has planted himself.
His civil service reform ground, which he
assumed with such a flourish of tram
pets, will be ingloriously abandoned to
the enemy. His repudiation of Grant
ism, in which he acknowledged the will
of the people of the Union, and which
more than anything else has served to
give to his administration whatever credit
it may be entitled, will be discarded,
and he will hereafter defy popular
sentiment, completely destroy the
idea of conscientiousness which
commends his administration, and
make himself generally odious. As
a consequence he will be regarded by
the very men who now assail him as a
weak, nerveless creature—one only fit to
)>e despised—and they will permit no op
portunity to pass to manifest their con
tempt.
Mr. Hayes must be fully aware of these
things, and know that by yielding to the
ultra Radicals he will alienate his friends,
incur the contempt of his enemies, and
render his administration generally hate
ful and hated. Then, what is left him
but to go down to history degraded and
dishonored. As we have remarked in
a previous article, the only lustre he
can possibly hope to shed upon an
administration universally believed to
be fraudulent, is to be acquired by doing
bis duty under the Constitution, and
henceforward adhering strictly to what
he knows to be right. H he fails in this
then all is gone; he will only be remem
bered by posterity as a weak, cowardly
and despicable usurper, nothing more.
As we have remarked, Mr. Hayes must
know this, therefore we do not believe
that he will yield the contest in which he
is now engaged with the Blaines, Conk-
lings and Chandlers, and thereby commit
moral and political suicide.
"Banks to the Front"
Under this caption, the New York
Journal of Commerce calls upon the
banks of the Eastern and Atlantic cities
to send delegates to the meeting of the
New York Clearing House Association,
which was held on “Wednesday, in
structed to co-operate with that meeting,
and to vote for resolutions to make all
future loans and contracts payable in
gold alone. It is believed by this action
that the sentiment of the country, now
so strongly in favor of silver remoneti
zation, may be bulldozed in favor of
gold, and thus it may become “possible
that the silver plague may be stayed.”
In this article the Journal of Commerce
confesses that the silver movement has
assumed gigantic proportions, and that
this proposed meeting is almost too late
to accomplish anything. It notes the
fact that during the recess of Congress,
the silver men of the West have been
holding public meetings and with so great
force has the silver tidal wave swept
over that section, and public sentiment
on the question there is so unanimous,
that conservative, careful men, like
Davis and Thurman, have been car
ried along by it, and been forced
to give their undoubted strength to the
“winning side.” It hopes, however, that
all may not yet be wholly lost to the gold
advocates, and urges that ‘ ‘the banks of
New York and their associates in the
great Atlantic cities shall rush on this
monster with the courage of a forlorn
hope.”
That the fears of that paper are well
founded, and that its proposed bull
dozing effort is indeed a forlorn hope is
very manifest. All the people of the
West, and a vast majority of those
in the South—in short, all the debtor
classes of the country, are fully alive and
awake to their interests in this regard.
They have only in the past few days
seen business house after business house,
bank after bank fail, crash succeeding
crash in bewildering rapidity, and all
brought about by a tremendous shrinkage
of values caused by a rapid and most
unnatural contraction of the currency.
They propose to stop this ruinous
contraction and monied embarrassment
if they can, and are determined that if
they can obtain relief by means of the con
etitutional money of this country—silver
as well as gold—they will do so. In fact,
they look upon the remonetization of sil
ver as necessary to their vitality, and that
is the least they will submit to. If they
cannot get that they will probably de
mand utter repudiation.
At present, however, they do not de
sire to repudiate one cent of the national
debt. They only desire that the natural
silver product of the country may be
utilized to their relief in accordance
with the views of the United States Con
stitution, and to secure this they are
willing to accept a silver dollar of 4164
grains nine-tenths fine; which, judging
by the gold quotations of our pre
sent subsidiary silver coins of
only 384.8 grains, nine-tenths fine,
(and legal tender for only $5), will
be worth a fraction over one hundred and
one cents in gold. The Journal of Com
merce may, therefore, well regard the op
position to the success of these views as
a “forlorn hope,” for they are deter
minedly and vigorously held by a very
large majority of the citizens of
the United States. This question
has become one of vital importance
to the people of the country, and for the
banks to combine and array themselves
on the side of the gold advocates and
bondholders will only tend to still more
excite popular feeling against the single
gold standard.

THE
DEMOCRATIC ABSENTEES
IN THE HOUSE.
REPUBLICANS CONTROLLING
LEGISLATION.
Reconciliation Between Hayes and
Leading Republican Senator*.
Special Telegram to the Homing .Van.
Washington, January 10.—Much dis
satisfaction was expressed by Demo
crats in tbe House at the large number
of absentees from their ranks to-day.
The Republicans practically had control
of legislation in that body.
Strong efforts are being made to heal
the breach between the President and
leading Republicans in the Senate, and it
is expected that a complete reconciliation
will be effected in time to kill off any
movement tending to investigation.

The Women Ballot Seekers Snubbed
by the Senate.
If, says the St. Louis Republican, some
cheap way is invented for working the
secondary gravel beds of California,
which the gold advocates say contain
$100,000,000,000 worth of gold, or those
undiscovered mines in the heart of
Africa, which no human eye has yet
looked upon, should be discovered by
some daring explorer, gold might fall
very much lower in value than silver.
Then the single gold standard people
would be more clamorous for gold de
monetization than they now are for silver
demonetization. The cardinal doctrine
of finance with them is, that a debtor
should always pay ten to fifty per cent,
more than he owes. If they get their
way about silver, it wont be long before
they will find out that there is too little
gold in the standard dollar, and there
will be a movement to put 30 instead of
25.8 grains of standard gold in that coin.
There is, in fact, no end to the path they
want us to follow; and when a man be
gins to pay back more money than he
borrows, he starts on the straight road to
ruin.
A Southern State that is Nearly
Oct of Debt.—There is at least one
State South of the Ohio the finances of
which are in an entirely satisfactory con
dition. We refer to Kentucky. The
Governor’s message, now before us,
makes the statement that the State owes
only about $180,000, and ample means
have been set aside for the payment of
the debt when it becomes due. The re
duction in taxation made two years ago
has not embarrassed the operations of
government, and tbe Treasury showed a
balance on October 10 last of over $500,-
000. Since the last session of the Legis
lature, over $50,000 have been received
on the war claim and nearly $400,000 of
that claim against the United States is
still due. Another $50,000 has been col
lected from tbe United States for tolls on
Green and Barren rivers.”
Washington, January 10.—The first
business in order this morning after tbe
meeting of the House was tbe considera
tion of the resumption bill reported by
Mr. Wood, of New York, from the
Ways and Means Committee, giving the
various committees special powers in re
gard to investigating the several debts of
the government.
Mr. Hale, of Maine, offered a substi
tute providing that such powers shall
only be conferred upon committees when
specific charges shall be presented to the
House in writing. After a long discussion
in committee of tbe whole, Mr. Ilale’s
substitute was adopted and reported to
the House, but pending action the
House adjourned.
In the Senate Mr. Sargent introduced
a joint resolution proposing a sixteenth
amendment, giving women the right to
vote, which was referred to the Commit
tee on Privileges and Elections.
Senator Kellogg introduced a bill to
improve navigation, and to afford pro
tection and security to shipping, trade,
commerce and alluvial lands of tbe Mis
sissippi river.
Senator Kelioggfalso introduced a bill
to provide for a steamship line between
New Orleans and certain points of Mex
ico. This is the same bill which passed
the Senate in 1870, and again 1872, but
was lost in the House.
Mr. Matthews’ resolutions to pay in
terest and principal of bonds in the fu
ture was resumed. Mr. Beck, of Ken
tucky, spoke in favor of the remonetiza
tion of silver, though he did not favor the
Bland bill as it came from the House of
Representatives. He thought the Senate
Committee on Finance did right in
striking out of the House bill allowing
any owner of silver bullion to deposit
the same at the mint to be coined into
dollars for bis benefit. He areued that
Germany had demonetized silver
and much of it was for sale in that coun
try at a reduced price. Had this clause
been allowed to remain in the bill the Ger
man Government could bring bullion to
this country worth forty-six million dol
lars and receive fifty million therefor.
He spoke of the acts of 1873, demone
tizing silver as unconstitutional and
vicious, and reviewed at some length
the financial legislation of the
government. Silver always had
been the coin of the country and
the demonetization of it deprived
people of one half their means to pay
their debts. He believed iu maintaining
the national faith, but at the same time
tbe people should not be deprived of
their legal and constitutional rights.
Mr. Sanrent’s resolution, allowing la
dies who advocate the sixteenth amend
ment to the Constitution conferring the
right of suffrage upon females to appear
before the Senate in advocacy of that
amendment, was rejected—yeas 13, nays
31.
The tobacco men from Virginia to-day
visited the capitol and conferred with the
leading members of Congress from differ
ent parts of the country, in regard to tbe
proposed reduction of the taxon tobacco
to twelve cents per pound. They were
kindly received and their views as
expressed by the leading members of the
committee made a marked impression.
The bill introduced by Col. Cabell, mem
ber of the House from the Danville,
Virginia, district, is strongly advocated
by them and embodies the legislation
they seek at the hands of Congress for ,
the relief of the tobacco trade. The j J| IDjVIGHT telegrams.
drawback feature of the bill is regarded
bv them as of paramount importance.
They seek immediate action by Con
gress. Mr. C. H. Conrad, a member of
the Danville delegation, received a dis
patch to-day, saying that leading West
ern tobacco 'men will be here to co-ope
rate with the Virginia delegation. The
representatives of the tobacco interest de
sire the bill for this reduction to be kept
separate and apart from the tariff bill, in
order to insure the earliest action on the
part of Congress.
Senator Lamar and Representative Chal
mers will introduce bills in their respec
tive houses somewhat similar to that of
Mr. Stephens’ in regard to tbe Southern
Pacific Railroad, making, however, the
eastern terminus at Vicksburg.
Mr. Cox, of New York, introduced a
bill in the House for the coinage of silver
five cents, to be legal tender for five dol
lars, and the discontinuance of the coin
age of nickels.
Mr. Luttrell introduced a bill forbid
ding the employment of Chinese on
United States works, or on vessels bear-
THE ARMISTICE NEGOTIATIONS.
Constantinople, January 10, 1120

Professor Swing on Hell.
The question whether or not there be
an orthodox hell—a place of endless tor
ment, a molten sea, seething over in
waves of fire and brimstone—is still
largely attracting the attention of the
secular press, as well as many of the
latter-day theologians. The last of these
who has thrown himself into the breach,
and. along with Beecher and Canon Far
rar, has taken up arms in opposition to
the orthodox idea, is Professor
Swing, of Chicago. On last Sunj
day, as he preached a powerful sermon
on the subject, taking the ground that
the idea of an endless hell, is re
pugnant to the idea of an all-loving God.
He believes in future punishment as well
as future reward, but thinks the world to
which those who die in their sins will
hereafter be consigned will be only one
which will not attain to the paradise of
the saints, but to which will come at
times such sorrows as beset us here.
Says he:
I would hold to the word ‘eternal,
but would save the beauty and whole
character of God by supposing the lost
world to be one not which rolls in billow:
of fire where agony screams almvc the
roaring of flames,' but a world where
beings lower thau the saints are living
along willingly their unnumbered years.
The Frenchman Figuier threw out tbe
thought ten years ago that in the far off
ages the saints would die again, but tbe
second time sweetly, and perhaps again
to wake in some higher state. AVords
these which reason can neither accept
nor reject, for the eternity to come is a
duration in which God may have plans
too great not only for human faith but
even for its conjecture."
The entire sermon is well exemplified
in this extract therefrom. It is well to
remark, however, that the Professor as
serfs that he can only speak for himself,
and must speak “less from Biblical criti
cism than from simple feelings.”

The woman suffragists hope to build
themselves up upon the ruin of
Radicalism. One of their members,
Sara Spencer, President of the late AVo-
man's Rights Convention, advocated an
affiliation with the Radical party on the
ground that it was dying, and “would
gladly grasp at woman's suffrage or any
thing else” to save it. The fair lady was
right, it would. But the trouble is it is
so nearly dead already, that it has not
strength sufficient left to grab anything,
not even a corrupt whisky ring. And
when Radicalism cannot grab at corrup
tion and fraud, it is indeed in such miser
able plight that even woman’s suffrage
cannot save it. The indications are that
they are both doomed to an early and de
served death.

More of the Dtinnfna Failure.
The labors of the United States Com
mission, organized for the purpose of in
vestigating the subject of insect ravages
in tbe AVest and of devising a remedy for
the evil, have been finished for the year,
and the report will be completed in Feb
ruary. In this report will be described
the migratory habits of the locust, show
ing that, like many species of birds,
these insects journey at certain fixed
seasons southward, and at certain other
seasons return to the places of their
origin. These migrations being fore
seen, steps may be taken to protect from
their ravages the fields which lie under
their line of flight. Many methods of
doing this are suggested in the report,
which will stand beside the Grangers’
bible, if it doesn't take its place.
