TAPPING THE WIRES.
The English Parliament was opened yester
day.
The Queen's speech read at the opening of
Parliament, a synopsis of which has been re
ceived by telegraph, is very pacific in tone and
has none of the grim visaged war look about
it. She says: ‘‘Hitherto in the war nothing has
occurred in its progress on the part of either
lielligerent infringing the condiions upon which
English neutrality was founded, and its com
mencement recounts the good offices which
her government has performed, and will con-
t inue to exert to promote peace, and aslci that
Parliament may supply the means to make
adequate preparations in the event that the
war is prolonged and some unexpected occur
rence may change the neutral relation of
England towards the lielligerents.”

The Cotton Exchange Does Not Rep
resent Georgia on the Silver Ques
tion.
Judging from the violent tone of the
| gold organs and their extraordinary ef-
j forts to make a very small amount of
! public endorsement go a great way they
| must be most profoundly impressed
with the weakness of their cause.
| Instead of arguing the question of
restoring silver to its normal posi
tion as an equal legal tender with gold
coin on its merits, and attempting
to convince the taxpayers that it
is to their advantage equally with
| the bondholders that the country
should be restricted to a single gold
standard—that the more costly and limi
ted the medium in which the enormous
debt of the country, national, State, mu
nicipal, corporate and individual, is to be
paid, the better it will be both for the
creditor and the debtor classes—instead
of attempting to disprove the fraud by
which silver was demonetized in the in
terest of the bondholder and the money
monopolist, they content themselves
with railing against the “repudiators,'
“the silver clippers,” the “insane dema
gogues” and “dishonest fools” who favor
remonetization as a means of specie re
sumption, and threaten to withdraw
their capital from the channels of busi
ness, and still further paralyze the
commerce and industrial enterprise
of the country. Even the conservative
and dignified Journal of Commerce, in
its zealous devotion to the interests of
the class which it represents, for once
loses its temper and not only character
izes the advocates of silver remonetiza
tion as either insane or dishonest men,
but even goes so far as to charge
prominent silver men with resorting
to deliberate deception and brilH-rv with
a view to influence the action of the
Senate upon the Bland bill. We will
only say that charges of dishonesty, im
proper influences, combinations, decep
tion and bribery come with a had grace
from that side of the question.
But what we desire now to protest
against is the unfair means that are
being employed to misrepresent the
views and sentiments of our people on
the silver question for the purpose of dis
couraging the friends of remonetiza
tion in the North and of influenc
ing the action of Congress. In the
face of the notorious fact that the
people of Georgia are almost a uuit
ou the question of silver remonetization,
either with or without repeal of the re
sumption act, the gold organs of the
North, taking advantage of the charac
teristic tergiversation of Hon. B. II. Hill
and a series of resolutions passed by the
Savannah Cotton Exchange in response,
as we suppose, to the invitation of the New
i York Bankers’ meeting, in opposition to
the silver bill and in favor of specie re
sumption, are claiming that not only Sa
vannah, but the “principal cities of Geor
gia,” are opposed to the measure now
before Congress. The New York Tri
bune noticing the presentation in the Sen
ate on Monday of the Savannah Cotton
Exchange resolutions, says
“Petitions to Congress do not neces
sarily represent public sentiment, but the
array in the Senate yesterday on the sil
ver question illustrated the boundaries of
the two parties in this issue, and if we
are not mistaken, the majority which the
opponents of unlimited silver could com
mand among the honest men of the coun
try. Against unlimited silver were the prin
cipal cities of Illinois. Iowa. Louisiana.
A Useless Amendment.
The Senate has adopted the joint reso
lution passed by the House August 4,
1876, relating to the reparation of Church
and State. The resolution embodies a
sixteenth amendment to the Constitu
tion, which reads as follows:
"No State shall make any law respect
mg an establishment of religion, or pro
hibiting the free exercise thereof, and no
religious test shall ever be required as a
qualification to any office or public trust
under any State. No public proper
ty and 'no public revenue of, nor
any loan of credit by or under the
authority' of the Lnited States, or any
State, Territory, district or municipal
corporation, shall be appropriated to, or
made or used for, the support of any
school, educational or other institution
under the control of any religious
or anti-religious sect, organization or
denomination, or wherein the particultr
creed or tenets of any religious or anti-
religious sect, organization or denomina
tion shall be taught. And no such par
ticular creed or tenets shall lie read or
taught in any school or institution sup
ported in whole or in part by such
revenue or loan of credit; and no such
appropriation or loan of credit shall be
made to any religious or anti-religious
sect, organization or denomination, or to
promote its interests or tenets. Tliis
article shall not !>e construed to prohibit
tile reading of the Bible in any school or
institution, and it shall not have the
effect to impair rights of property
already vested.
“Sec. 2. Congrers shall have power,
by appropriate legislation, to provide for
the prevention and punishment of viola
tions of this article.”
Most of the States, remarks the Cour
ier-Journal, have similar provisions in
their constitutions, and the amendment
seems superfluous. The absolute separa
tion of Church aud State and the legal
equality of all forms of belief were es
tablished at the declaration of indepen
dence. The amendment is inconsistent
in that it forbids the teaching in State
schools of any '•‘particular creed or
tenets" in one place, and expressly says
in another place that the Bible may be
read in the schools. The Bible contain
ing the creeds and tenets of all the sects
of Christendom, the absurdity of this
portion of the amendment is apparent.
Again, the amendment absolutely forbids
the use of the oath administered to pub
lic officers throughout the country, for
the acknowledgment of God in such oath
is a "religious test." AYe think with the
Courier-Journal that there is no reason
w hatever why such a bungling amend
ment should lie adopted by the States.

Savannah In the Supreme Court
The Bridgeport Farmer pertinently
asks: Is it noi about time that Diaz was
lecoguized as President of Mexico? We
presume that Ilayes docs not delay recog
nition because of the imperfection of
Diaz’ title. It only differs from Hayes’
in this, that while that of Diaz, was se
cured by force, that of Hayes was pro
cured by fraud. The pretext for non.
recognition has been the failure of the
Diaz government to take proper meas
ures for the prevention of raids into
Mexico. The ground for this pretext
has vanished. Mexican troops are now
on the border, co-operating with tho
United States forces. Further delay of
recognition will add force to the charge
that the interests of speculators and an
nexationists are at the bottom of Hayes’
Mexican policy.
Georgia and Massachusetts; for unlimited
silver, two towns in Illinois. No doubt
the silver advocates could get up count
less petitions, and find plenty of people
to sign them, but it is not a risli guess to
say that if a census could be taken of the
wealth and brains of the country, the
two parties would appear about as they
did yesterday in the Senate.”
Alluding to the same Cotton Exchange
resolutions, the New York World (after
the Tribune the leading bondholders’ or-
gaq of the North) takes occasion to read
Senator Gordon a lecture on the propriety
of his course. The editor says:
“It seems to us that Senator Gordon,
of Georgia, if lie is correctly reported to
day, would have done well to consider
the voice of President Gordon, of the
Savannah Cotton Exchange, before he
committed himself to the proposition
that Georgia is inclined to favor the sil
ver swindle. On the 18th of January
Mr. William W. Gordon, President of
the Savannah Cotton Exchange, an
nounced the adoption at a full meeting
of the Exchange, and by a large ma
jority, of resolutions ‘adverse to the
silver bill, and favoring resumption,
specie payments and gold w hen practi
cable.’ If Senator Gordon will blit consider
the matter from a strictly Southern point ( f
view, he can hardly fail to see that the
Savannah Cotton Exchange knows what
it is about. Throughout the whole South
men are moving to obtain capital in
Europe for the development of Southern
interests, and there has been some talk
in Senator Gordon’s own State of send
ing Senator Gordon himself abroad on
such an errand. Does Senator Gordon
tUink the Bland silver bill would be a
good letter of credit for a missionary
bent on such a mission? If be does, lie
bad better sit a while at the feet of his
namesake in Savannah. ”
The New Orleans Democrat says:
“Besides his high moral qualities and his
splendid record for political consistency,
Mr. Pendleton is an accomplished gentle
man, scholar and juris!, is free from all
the petty characteristics of the politician
and demogogue, and will prove one of
the most exemplary and useful members
of the United States Senate. With his
accomplished wife, the daughter of the
author of the ‘Star Spangled Banner,'
and a native of the District of Columbia,
his accession to the society of the national
capital will he hailed with general grati
fication and rejoicing among the best,
and. indeed, among xl! classes of the
population of that city.”
Talk of Western provincialism! The
Boston postmaster recently found in his
office two money letters addressed re
spectively to “Paris” and “London."
Apparently he had never heard of any
such places abroad, for he sent the first
to Paris. Maine, and the other to London,
Ontario. As the first letter contained a
draft for 200,000 francs, it is fortunate it
was not oprued in the Maine office, or
the postmaster might have been tempted
to buy the whole town.
A CiricAoo Slander.—The Chicago
Time* says: “A St. Louis girl shook
out her stocking Christmas morning
and was bitterly disappointed at dis
covering no presents. Ou a closer ex
amination, how ever, she was made happy
by finding a splendid upright piano,
which, as it had concealed itself at the
extreme toe-end of the stocking, had,
at firs!, escaped her search.”
Petitions are in circulation among the
cotton and woollen manufacturers of
New Hampshire saying to Congress: “If
you wish us to compete in the markets of
the world for the sale of our goods, aud
help us to extend the commerce of the
nation, wc ask you to stand by the re
sumption act and maintain gold as the
only legal tender, which will insure low-
range values and low cost of living. ”

It is no disparagement tp General
Gordon’s namesake or to the Savannah
Cotton Exchange to say that General
Gordon knows quite as well what he is
about as the Cottou Exchange. That he
is as capable of forming a correct judg
ment on the financial question now
agitating the country from centre to cir
cumference, and that he understands as
well the bearings of that question ou the
welfare of the people of Georgia and the
country at large. Certain it is General
Gordon in his advocacy of silver remone
tization faithfully represents the views,
not only of nine-tenths of the people of
Georgia, but we venture to assert, of an
equal proportion of the intelligence,
"wealth and brains” of the South.
We repeat that the action of the Sa
vannah Cotton Exchange, while it may
have expressed the views of a majority
of the gentlemen present at the meeting,
certainly misrepresents the known opin
ions of a very large majority of the busi
ness men and citizens of Savaunuh. who
heartily endorse and approve the course
of our distinguished and faithful Sena
tor, General Gordon, and our equally
faithful and reliable delegation in Con
gress, on the silver question.
As will lie seen by our Atlanta dispatch,
the people of that city—the immediate
constituents of Mr. Iliii—meet to-night
to give expression to th< ir disapproval of
that gentleman s opposition to the silver
bill. If it were necessary to have (in ox-
pression of the will of the people of Sa
vannah—if such a public demonstration
were needed to encourage iCl'l sustain
our Representatives, or if it wofiM
be likely to influence the action
pf Congress—a similar meeting of our
citizens would speak with no uncertain
voice on this great and vital question of
deliverance, right and justice.
Simple Simon Not Yet Out op His
Trouble.—The Washington &'tar says:
“Mrs. Mary Oliver, the complainant in
the suit brought against the Hon. Simon
Cameron for alleged breach of promise,
has returned to Washington. She ex
presses herself somewhat surprised that
during her absence the impression should
have been created that she had compro
mised with the defendant in considera
tion of the payment of one thousand dol
lars. Mrs. Oliver admits that she did
receive and receipt for money handed her
by the Hon. A. G. Kiddle, her previous
attorney, but she understood that it was
for her support, which she alleges Mr.
Cameron promised should la 1 forth
coming; that she distinctly told
Mr. Kiddle that she did not re
ceive it to discontinue her suit, and al
leges, to use her words, that Mr. Riddle
replied, ‘Oh, no, it has nothing to do with
it. ’ She says she receipted for t he money
when sick and was really not aware of
what she did sign. The suit is still on
tile court calendar, and is in the hands of
Messrs. Peters & Darneille, attorneys, of
this city.”
The case will probably come up for
trial in April unless compromised in the
meantime. Beast Butler is to be Mr.
Cameron s principal counsel.

Atlanta, January 17.—Governor Col

of the North and South Railroad of Co

W. U. Garrard, of Savannah, and his
associates, for forty thousand five hun
dred dollars, payable in six years at
seven per cent, interest, in semi annual
payments, the same amount to be raised
for the improvement and extension of
the road, and twenty thousand dollars to
be expended in extending the road within
twelve months. Columbus has paid in
terest of over two thousand dollars due
on the previous sale, and becomes a party
to the new contract.

Alderman C. K. Maddox commenced

Another case against ex-Govemor Bul
lock was called this afternoon, growing
out of the same Tennessee Car Company
case. Judge McCny and General Gar
trcll set up in liar to the indictment Bul
lock’s having just been tried for the same
offence. Colonel Willis Hawkins and
Colonel Pike Hill demurred for the State,
but Judge George N. Lester, presiding
forjudge Hillyer, overruled the demurrer
and the accused was ordered to go hence
without a day. This ends finally and
forever the Bullock cases. Blodgett is

finish to-morrow morning. Lively scenes
occurred during some of the arguments.
Against the FI- i courage, and, above afl, his indomitable
heart. He would go down to a far here
after not as one who embellished his name
by a scholastic and studied use of words,
but rather as one who. day by day on
the journey of life, met realities and af
fairs and "grappled them with a grasp
resolute and quick. He needed no epi
taph but his name, and though brass
might corrode and marble decay, men
would still remember Oliver P. Morton
as a leading and manful defender of the
republic in the republic's most dire and
and heroic age.”
Mr. Morgan, of Alabama, said upon
an occasion like this, when a nation was
paying its respect to a dead Senator, it
was not fitting the section he represented
should be silent. Alabama laid upon
the tomb of the late Senator a bough of
her evergreen magnolia crowned with
the white emblem of peace, and it ex
tended to Indiana her heartfelt
sympathy. He then spoke of the
prominent traits of Mr. Morton's
character, and said though his
nature was intensely combative, his
ear was ever ready to listen to the
bugles of truce. He was no conspirator;
his nature was above that mean level.
He was an open, bold and defiant antag
onist, and his opponents always knew
where to find him. He lived during the
most corrupt era of our history, and had
evety opportunity to grow rich by stealth,
hut he escaped every suspicion of dis
honesty. He was an honest man.
Mr. Bruce, of Miss., said the deceased
Senator possessed the elements of a great
statesman. He then alluded to the attach
ment which the colored people felt for
him and said, perhaps no public man
except Abraham Lincoln and Charles
Sumner was better known to the colored
people or more loved or revered.
Mr. Voorhees. of Indiana, concluded the
eulogies, and said the Senate had been
littering the last words over the grave
of one who played a bold political
part. The late Senator and himself be
came personal as well as political friends
in early life, and although in after years
their political opinions were as widely
separated as the poles, their personal
friendship remained unbroken. He spoke
of the life of the late Senator as being
one worthy of imitation, having become
agreat man by his ow n efforts. If he
could not be President himself, lie did

TROUBLE BREWING IN SAN FRANCISCO.
San Francisco, January 17—For
some time past the language used at the
meetings of the so-called workingmen by
agitators Kearny, Knight, Wellock and
others has been growing more and
more incendiary in its character. At
meeting held m this city last night
pretty strong intimations were given that
the Chinese passengers by the steamer
Tokio, due here to-morrow, would be
attacked. It has been ascertained that
under the advice of their lead
era. the mob have been forming
military companies, and have made
some purchases of weapons. The Mayor
has called the attention of the Board of
Supervisors to the threats of the agita
tors against life and property, and their
defiance of the government, and declared
that the time for decisive action had
come. Resolutions were adopted au
thorizing the Mayor to appoint
rommittee of seven of the board
to go to Sacramento this evening
and procure the immediate pas
sage of bills authorizing the Police
Commissioners to appoint temporarily
such a numlier of special police as may
be deemed necessary from time to time
for the preservation of order. The Maj
or had a conference with General Me
Comb, who has ordered the entire force
of the city to assemble at the armories
and remain under arms until further no
tice. General .McDowell has given as
surance that the authorities shall have
the support of the United States troop:
if required. Kearney and Wellock
were arrested this evening on charges of
conspiracy and misdemeanor and held to
bail, in default of which both were lock
ed up. They say that they will not at
tempt to procure bail, aud also assert that
hereafter their meetings will be secret.

Jim Blaine was evidently benefited by
his short sojourn in a Southern commu
nity, and has returned to his post in
Washington improved both in mind and
bodj’. He was serenaded just before
leaving Hot Springs, when in a short
speech of thanks he made this slight allu
sion to political questions: “I desire,
gentlemen, also to express Ihe verj- great
satisfaction I have experienced in wit
nessing the harmony, friendship and

It is to be hoped that Blaine will have no

and that his mind will lie no longer

The venerable political economist,
Henty C. Carey, has sound ideas on the
silver question. Speaking of the Bland
bill, recentlj-, he said: ‘ 'That bill should
be maintained as it passed. Congress
should insist upon its passage to the last.
If gold is coined free, silver should be
coined free.”
Mr. Care}- regards currency reform as
the vital question of the day. His reme
dies for the present distresses of trade
are remonetization of silver and a national
paper currency which shall be “a full le
gal tender for all debts, public and pri
vate, not specifically made payable in
coined money. He would have this cur
rency convertible into bonds at the option
of the h< lder, and revertible in like man
ner. This to give automatic action to
the iuflow and outflow, but tlic amount
of money should be unlimited, except
by demand. It should be issued directly
to all who present the proper security,
and all other paper currency should be
steadily recalled."

The details of the French census of De
cember 31, 1876, lately published, show
that in all tjje departments in which
there was an increase of population it
was solely in the towns. In May, 1872,
the population was 36,102,921, and last
December it was 36,905,788, an increase
of but 2.17 per cent., and this, too, with
an emigration of at least 100,000 from
Alsace and Lorraine into France. The
birth rate in France is believed to be
lower than that in any other civilized
country, which may, in some degree,
be due to the abnormally low propor
tion of women to men. In twenty de
partments the census shows a decrease
of population. Yet France is asserted
to be about the most prosperous country
in the world.

ished.
In the Senate the very brieT speech of
Senator Bruce, of Mississippi, in eulogy
of Mr. Morton was greatly admired. It
exceeded in pathos, and was hardly short
in poetry.
The tribute to the dead war Governor
by Senator McDonald was very touching.
The morning’s business having been dis
posed of. Mr. McDonald, of Indiana, sub
mitted the following:
Resolved, That from an earnest desire
to show every mark of respect to the
memory of the Hon. Oliver P. Morton,
late a Senator of the United States from
the State of Indiana, and manifest the
high estimate entertained of his eminent
public sendees, his distinguished patriot
ism. aud his usefulness as a citizen, the
business of the Senate be now suspended
that the friends and associates of the de
ceased Senator may pay fitting tribute to
his public aud private virtues.
Resolved, That a wide-spread and pub
lic sorrow on the announcement of his
death attested the profound sense of the
loss which the whole country has sus
tained.
Resolved. That as a mark of respect for
the memory of Mr. Morton the members
of the Senate will go into mourning by
wearing crape on the left arm for thirty
days.
Resolved, That the Secretary of the
Senate communicate these resolutions to
the House of Representatives.
The resolutions were agreed to.
Mr. McDonald reviewed at length the
life, character «and services of the late
Senator, and said, by his death a great
name had been stricken from the roll of
the Senate. Nowhere would his loss be
felt so severely as among his friends and
followers in his native State. He spoke
of the warmth and strength of the affec
tions of the dead Senator and said, if
he had faults, let them be buried with
him. Let his friends and associates re
member and cherish only those kindly
feelings and sentiments which his higher
and better qualities inspired.
Mr. Thurman, of Ohio, said: “Occa
sions like this were not the proper times
for universal praise on the one hand or
criticisms on the other of the political
life of a deceased Senator. He (Mr.
Thurman) would speak of the late Sena
tor as the man. not as the politician,
though it was difficult to separate the
man from the politician. for he lived
and moved, and had his being in the at
mosphere of politics. In any sphere of
life he would have been a remarkable
man. He was not a scholar, his speeches
were distinguished for earnestness. In
social intercourse he was universally
courteous and amiable, and it was grati
fyiug to him (Mr. Thurmm) to say that
no unkind word ever passed between
himself and the late Senator.”
Mr. Conkling, of New York, spoke of
the practice of ancient times, when those
nearest the dead spoke at their funerals
snd extolled the virtues of loved ones,
and, referring to the certainty of death,
sai,d: “The dark valiev, with its weird
and solenfti spadows fufthough illumined
by Christianity, is still the ground which
man shudders to approach.” He then
referred to the services of the late
Senator and the usage of the
Senate of paying public tribute to
those of its members who have
gone before. * * When a Senator, worn out
with labors which observed no hours,
crowned with honors well earned and
duties well done, beckoned by the
shadowy hand, retreated from the din of
life and*the gates had been closed behind
him forever,' it was decorous that those
who were so soon to follow should pause
and testify to the public psteenj in which
they held him, ana the approbation which
they knew he deserved. lie arose only
to add his tribute of respect
and admiration for the services
and the genius of the remark

In view of a recent Supreme Court
decision, Mr. Howe introduced in the
Senate to-day a bill to punish the forci
ble obstruction of inter-State commerce
upon railways, which provides that
whenever any person or persons shall
conspire together to obstruct or hinder

tion, the free and customary transit
of persons, baggage and merchandize,
passing by railroad or water from any
one State or territory info another, such
offence shall be deemed a misdemeanor
against the United States, and persons
found guilty thereof on conviction shall
be punished by a fine of five hundred
dollar’s and one years imprisonment; that
whenever any persons shall compel and

their duties, they shall on conviction
thereof 1m* fined not less than five hun

The storm has ceased in the city, and,

Telegraphic communication is still inter

AUSTRIA AND ENGLAND’S ACTION.
London, January 17.—The news of
England’s and Austria’s action is con
firmed by the Vienna New Free Press, ex
cepting that Austria only made her dec
laration at Constantinople and not at St.
Petersburg. The Xetr Free Press adds:
"Since the capture of the Scliipka Pass
the Russian conditions have become
severer, and instead of admitting
the necessity of previous agreement with
the powers, she now insists on a separate
peace. On the other hand a Reuter dis
patch from St. Petersburg says it is semi
officially announced that no such declara
tions as are attributed to England and
Austria have been received there. In
the ]x»'r purlers leading to negotiations
for an armistice, England had an oppor
tunity of covincing herself that Russia
fully respects the sphere which has been
defined of British interests, and Russia
reserves to herself to seek England’s par
ticipation iu any alterations of interna
tional treaties. Austria expresses herself
as hiiherto, conformably to her special
friendly relations to Russia.
Mr. Stephens on Silver.—Hon. A.
H. Stephens has pretty strong views with
respect to the passage of ihe Bland silver
bill. Here is what he said to a corres
pondent the other day: * 'Do you sup
pose we will be drowned in a sea of
9ilverT Let it come—I say. in the words
of Patrick Henry, let it come! It will
be a glorious death. We will have to
buy their cheap silver with our exports?
Let it be so. I can think of no better
fate for our cotton and corn. We cannot
have too much silver. If I had my way
I would make silver an unlimited legal
tender, but I would charge a seigniorage
for coining. I would issue to any owner
of bullion, say in Atlanta or Charleston,
a certificate for the amount, and this cer
tificate might be divided into a number
of others, each representing a small sum.
These certificates I would make legal
tender at once, in advance of the actual
coinage, so as to give the people needed
relief as quickly as possible.”—Atlanta

The Louisaina Sugar Crop.—With
in the period of six weeks’ time pros
pects for the Louisiana sugar crop hav<
materially changed. About the first
November planters were in the most
cheerful mood and predicted, in effect
that the crop would beyond doubt be the
largest and most profitable they had rais
ed in many a year. Since this time, how
ever, there has been a succession of rain
and frost that, according to the newspa
per correspondence, have reduced the
crop so as to make it unprofitable in
measure, and to disppoint the hopes of
planters as to the future of their industry.
The effect is that scores of persons, en
couraged by the success of past seasons,
who were about to embark in it will liesi
tate now when they learn that this year’]
crop has not been a profitable one, dis
regarding the fact that the weather has
been phenomenal.

MR. MORRISSEY'S CONDITION
Jacksonville, January 17.—John
Morrissey is more comfortable.
Governor Robinson, of New York,
takes solid ground and furnishes food
for a good deal of thought when he says,
in his message, that ‘ ‘when the State has
given to all the children a good common
school education, it should there leave
them to their own resources, and to fel
low such callings as their capacities fit
them for.” The Governor must have
been reading our new constitution.

The “row about salt” has been renewed
in El Paso county, Texas, and Texan
troops have occupied San Elizario with
the intention of holding the salt marshes
for the parties who have taken the lands
by private entry at the State Land Office.
The Mexicans are preparing to attempt
the capture of the marshes, and there
will doubtless be a fight.
