TAPPING THE WIRES.
The English Parliament was yesterday enllv-
ed by a debate on the address, in which Lord
Granville. Lord Beaconsfield, the Duke of
Argyle and the Marquis of Salisbury took promi
nent part. From the debate we gather that the
policy of the government has been and will re
main one of conditional neutrality, which will
be changed into active intervention should the
wave of war touch the shore of British interests.
What those interests exactly are is left in doubt,
the Marquis of Salisbury concluding with these
words: ”If you will not trust the government,
provide yourselves with a government you will
trust. If 3'ou trust the government provide it
with the proper means for carrying out your
confidence.”
The Turkish armistice plenipotentiaries have
arrived at a town called 3Iustapat. and sent an
envoy to the Russian camp to facilitate their
journey. Two squadrons of Cossacks having
arrived at Tiruova to escort the plenipotentia
ries to Kezanlik, Semenli, the commander of
the place, thought an attack was intended, and
blew up the railroad bridge. The peace envoys
were to reach Kinlck to-day or to-morrow.
The position and situation of Suleiman Paslia
and his troops are unknown, but it is feared
they are in great straits, as Hermauli, where
the Russian troops have arrived, is an important
point on his retreat, cousequentlj* he not only
has Guerko on his rear pressing him, but will
be taken on his flank by the column from Esld
Sagra, while the force at Hennanli stands di
rectly in his front.
Tin* force of Suleiman Pasha includes the di
vision from the Bulgarian garrison of Sophia and
other towns up to Nisch, and the army of
Chakir Pasha from Kainaili, hut they must ;
now be very much broken and weakened by
their hasty retreat and frequent encounters
with their pursuers.
The report prevalent in Constantinople that
Suleiman Pasha had succeeded in breaking
through the enemy's lines and reaching Adri
anople proves premature, as nothing is known
of his position.
The Cabinet Council at Constantinople de
liberated yesterday upon the defence of Con
stantinople.
A reconnoissance of Russian dragoons report
Suleiman Pasha at Philippopolis and that he
has given orders to burn that place, and that
Philippopolis and Bazardjik have lieen burned.
Nine boys in a small boat were swept over a
dam in Symes Creek, West Virginia, on Thurs
day and four were drowned.
A man named Sec rest, of Union county. N.
C-, has been arrested for the murder of his
wife and step-daughter. On March 12th, 1877.
Mrs. Secrest and her child mysteriously dis
appeared, and on Monday last some hunters,
attracted to a secluded spot in the woods by
the howling of (logs, found the woman and
child, who were identified as the missing wife
and step-daughter, four years old, of Secrest.
who was immediately arrested.
Ex-Governor James B. Groome has been elec
ted United States Senator from the State of
Man.’land
The sale of the Erie Railway, which was to
have taken place on next Monday, has been
postponed for sixty days by consent order
from Judge Brady.
Hereafter the French line of steamers be
tween Havre and New York will not stop at
Plymouth either going to or returning to
America.
Mr. Morrissey's symptoms were more favor
able yesterday, he having spent a comfo Table
night. His physicians, however, will not say
tliat danger has passed.
A grand mass meeting of the citizens of New
York, irrespective of party, has been called to
meet at Cooper Institute on the 30th. in the in
terest of free coinage of United States silver
dollars, and the affixing a permanent legal
value to silver win. Senators Voorliees and
Jones, of Nevada, will be among the speakers.
Among the nominations yesterday were Frank
N. Wicker as Collector of Customs at Key
West, and George Williams as Collector of
Customs at New Orleans.
The Matthews resolution being the unfinished
business in the Senate, was resumed yesterday
and its discussion continued to the hour of ad
journment. Mr. Merrimon. of North Carolina,
liaving the floor and speaking in favor of the
resolution. Senators Lamar, of Mississippi,
and Jones, of Florida, will speak on the silver
bill next week.
How many hundred thousand Geor
gians does the Savannah Cotton Ex
change represent in its indorsement of
the policy of the gold wreckers, and
how many does the Hon. B. H. Hill
represent when he revives the argu
ments of such men a$ Chittenden, and
presents them to the country as sound
views on the currency question? We
know the answer to these conundrums,
but we would prefer to see them taken
hold of by such organs as the New
York Tribune.—Atlanta Constitution.
Representative Foster, a member of
the Appropriations Committee, has in
troduced a very important bill in the
House, providing for the abolition of ali
permanent appropriations except for the
sinking fund and interest on the public
debt. This will make a stir among
some of the bureau officers who have
been running things independently for
some time.
When the anti-silver men in the New
York Assembly can only drum up a
majority of three votes on a resolution
denouncing the Bland bill, in an aggre
gate vote of 207. it is time to stop cal
ling the silver movement a Western
measure. There is nothing W estem or
Southern about it. It is a national
measure.
The Courier Journal thinks we may
vet have to demonetize gold in the inter
cst of bondholders. Tuesday in New
York, it ran down to 1011 and closed at
102, the lowest it has been in nearly six-
years. If this goes on the bondholders
will be calling for a law making English
gold sovereigns the only legal tender.
Mr. Hayes on the Liberian Emigration
Movement.
The colored people of Florida have
of late been much exercised on the sub
ject of emigration to Liberia with a view
to the bettering of their condition. An
organization of several thousand having
been effected, Rev. Mr. Sturks was
sent by them to investigate the ad
vantages of Hayti and San Domin
go. Mr. Sturks is said to have ob
tained a great deal of information, but
lias been undecided as to what was best
for the colored men to do. He had an
interview with Mr. Hayes on Monday,
and laid the situation before lnm. Mr.
Hayes embodied his views on the ques
tion in a brief letter to Mr. Sturks, in
which he says:
“I have given some consideration to
your question as to the emigration of
coloied people from Florida to San Do
mingo. I am not well informed as to the
advantages offered by San Domingo to
immigrants, but my impression is that
your people should not be hast}' in decid
ing to leave this country. The mere
difference in climate is a very serious
objection to removal. The first
generation, in all such removals suffer
greatly. It is my opinion,also that the evils
which now affect you are likely steadily,
and I hope rapidly to diminish. My
advice is, therefore, against the proposed
emigration ”
Judgingfrom this letter, says the Couri
er-Journal,, “Mr. Hayes is not very enthu
siastic on the subject of the expatriation
of the colored race. He believes that the
American negro has a better fate await
ing him than to be* killed off by the fierce
fevers of the West African coast, or ex
posed to the equally deleterious climatic
influence of Haytian atmosphere and the
annual revolutions in both Hayti and St.
Domingo. The Republicans generally
seem very anxious to ship the colored
people out of their native country to in
hospitable shores, but they are not meet
ing with much success, and it is not like
ly that they will. The Rev. Mr. Sturks
may have found Hayti and St. Domingo
congenial localities for a temporary so
journ, but it is quite doubtful if Mr.
Sturks would deposite himself there for
life. The colored people who are foolish
enough to go there will have to make up
their minds to engage in an internecine
struggle about twice a year.”

The Bridgeport Farmer, casting the
political horoscope and considering the
significance of recent movements on the
political chess-board, has come to the
conclusion that Senator Conkling is not
a short sighted politician. On the con
trary he is, says the Farmer, apt to look
quite a distance into the political future,
particularly when his personal interests
are at stake. He is ambitious for the
Presidency. Blaine has given up the
contest for the Republican nomination in
1880: Morton is dead; Jewell has interred
his ambition in the grave of the Charter
Oak Company; Grant would not stand in
Conkling's way—the field is practically
dear for him. But the Democrats
have a mortgage upon the Presi
dency which, from present appear
ances, they will be fully competent to
foreclose in 1880. No man probably
knows this lietter than Conkling. No
one knows better than he that the South
cannot be deprived of a portion of the
electoral representation in time to serve
the Republican needs, and that the situa
tion cannot be retrieved with a Demo
cratic Congress by the erection of pocket-
borough States in the Northwest. He
undoubtedly has an eye upon some move,
which, in Ids judgment, will reverse Re
conditions and procure success. Can it
be that the Chandler letter, alleging a
bargain between Hayes and the Southern
Democrats, is intended as an entering
wedge to split the Democratic party,
divorce its Northern and Southern sec
tions and thus give Conkling an excel
lent chance for an election?
The Telfair Will Case.
The Supreme Court on yesterday dis
missed from the docket the writ of error
taken by the propounders of the will to
the decision of Judge Tompkins. There
were two bills of exceptions—one by the
propounders (now dismissed) to the de
cision of Judge Tompkins, that the chil
dreu of Cupt. A. P. Wetter are sole heirs
of Miss Telfair, and the other by the
caveators—(the Wetters as one class and
the Joneses and others as another class)—
to the decision of the Judge, granting a
new trial. The latter bill of exceptions
is still on the docket, and will he heard
sometime in the spring. Should the Su
preme Court overrule Judge Tompkins,
the case will end there, and the verdict
of the jury breaking the will, will stand.
Senator Yoorhces" great speech on the
silver bill seems to have produced a pro
found sensation in a Senate crowded
from floor to galleries. Even the Wash
ington correspondent of the Tribune is
forced to compliment the Tall Sycamore
of the Wabash on his masterly effort.
The correspondent says: “Senator Yoor-
hees spoke for nearly two hours and a
half, and certainly succeeded in making
a dry subject attractive to all who lis
tened to him. When he dosed he was
overwhelmed with congratulations from
Senators and Representatives, who
thronged 'he floor, and was the recipient
of numerou s bouquets. The excitement
was so great that it was impossible for
the Senate to proceed with its business,
and an adjournment at once took place,"
The Courier-Journal says: “His ar
raignment of the money power was full
of Voorhecsian thunder, and for a maiden
Senatorial speech it must have seemed a
stuuner to the miid-eyed and niininatiug
occupants of curule chairs. ”
It seems to be only just to the govern
ment of Brazil, says the Washington
Sbt r, that it should be known that the
recent refuel of that countiy to admit
into it color*! laborers from the Uluted
States is in accordance with a law passed
twenty-five years ago, and which aims to
prevent the African slave trade. It is
believed, furthermore, by so competent
and liberal an authority as the Emperor
himself, that, should the law- be abro
gated now, plenty of Portuguese and
other African slave dealers would seize
with avidity the pretext of introducing
railroad colored laborers to reopen their
nefarious traffic.
A Washington letter says: “Themost
important features of the message of the
President, to be sent to Congress in a
few days in regard to the civil service,
will lie a recommendation that the mem
bers of the Cabinet be allowed seats on
the floor of the House.” Mr. Hates
must have been reading the constitution
of the Confederate States, which con
tained a provision giving members of
the Cabinet to seats and the right to be
heard in explanation and support of
government measures in the Confederate
Congress,
The Detroit Free Press says the Repub
lican opposition to investigation is not
surprising. The last time the investiga
tor went around their party was very
much depleted by the stroking out of
scoundrels, and they are afraid if thp
process is repeated there will be no party
left.
Editor Morning Sam: The present
fight over the currency brings to my
mind many recollections of the great
straggle when Jackson and Benton
headed the people to secure their rights
against the attempted encroachments of
the United States Bank, headed by Mr.
Nicholas Biddle. The war was sharp
and hot, as any one may see
by reading the leading papers of
that day and “Benton's Thirty Y'ears
in the United States Senate.” We are
fighting to-day for the same principle
that Gen. Jackson contended for—the
currency guaranteed to the people by the
Constitution—gold and silver, against
“rag money,” with which Mr. Biddle
would have flooded the country, as the
national banks have done, got posses
sion of the gold as they have done,
and having hoarded it in his vaults, as
they are now doing, have see-sawed the
national finances up or down, as the
monetary thermometer hanging over his
desk indicated the exchanges of com
modities and their commercial values.
As the people triumphed forty years
ago, so, I am confident will
they now gain the victory, as
the retrospect of our political history
demonstrates that in every contest, so far,
between the cities and the rand districts,
the money lords and the hard working
masses, the rural districts have invaria
bly triumphed. The straggle is grander
now, lieeause of our increased popula
tion and wealth, and of the greater gilded
power of foreign influences. Great Bri
tain could not whip us with her own
troops in 1776, so she sent over Hessians
to conquer us. And with the same
desire to subjugate us, finan
cially, now, she turns all Germany
loose upon us, employing commercial
corporations in our midst, that she eon-
ffols as one of her elements of warfare.
“The Savannah Cotton Exchange” is
a corporation of dealers in cotton,
brokers, factors and buyers, native and
foreign. Being an institution of com
merce it is, properly, open to merchants
and others in good standing who deal in
cotton. As such it is, no doubt, a type
of every Cotton Exchange in the United
States: and a subsidiary tentacle, as they
are, of the monster regulator in Liver
pool. Being commercial, they are cos
mopolitan, not national, except in so far as
their incorporation is under our laws, for
the citizen members.
Now, if I have been correctly informed,
the relative influence in the Savannah
Cotton Exchange, foreign and native, is
as about 80 20—that is. foreign 80—
native 20. Consequently it is in reality
a foreign institution, with only an Amer
ican name. Well, that is all right so far
as cotton and its trade go. But when
the action of the Cotton Exchange
is put upon the American Senate,
as was done the other day by Mr. Hill as
an exponent of the sentiment of the citi
zens of Savannah, upon a purely national
question of our currency, it was all
wrong, as foreigners cannot claim to
speak or vote in our political matters.
The American members have the right
to speak their political sentiments outside
of the Cotton Exchange, but not through
it, as its composition is not, as it must be
for that purpose, purely American.
The action of our Cotton Exchange re
called vividly an old chronicle of one of
our early ancestors, as a distinguished
English scientist claims him to have been,
named Bertrand, who, one day sitting by
the kitchen fire with his companion and
messmate, Raton, inhaled an appetising
odor, and. looking, he perceived it came
from the hot ashes where chestnuts were
roasting. “Ah." said he. “friend Raton,
if I only had fingers properly shaped to
pull those chestnuts out of the fire, what
a delicious treat you and I would have—
why, 'pon my soul, as I look at your
hand I see that your fingers are lieauti-
fully formed for the purpose—just the
thing—suppose you get them out." So
Raton gets down, delicately scrapes off
the ashes, shakes his burnt fingers, and,
at it again, rakes out a chestnut, which
Bertrand, with contented equanimity,
cracks and eats. So two, so three, when
the cook coming in, runs them both off.
Poor Raton only burnt his fingers; Ber
trand got the chestnuts. Europe is now
trying to play the same game that Ber
trand played. Will Americans permit
her to carry off the chestnuts?

A New York Mystery Explained.
For several days past the New Y’ork
papers have contained accounts of the
discovery of a schooner floating in the
harbor. The schooner was nearly new,
hut her name had been obliterated with
black paint, the masts had been cut
away and the hull scuttled, while all her
cargo and furniture had been removed.
The mysterious appearance of the
craft floating in the North river gave rise
to various suspicions of piracy and mur
der. It was at length ascertained that
the sehoonqr was the E. II. Pray.from an
Eastern port,and that her Captain's name
was NeslienJ. Clark. With this clue ascer
tained. the mystery was soon cleared up.
It seems that !he Pray had taken in a valu
able cargo, among other articles several
tons of giant powder for Baltimore and
other Southern ports. After getting his
cargo all on board and insuring his vessel
Capt. Clark dropped out into the river
and under cover of the darkness floated
down to a point near the Jersey shore,
where his craft was anchored close to a
small schooner called the Guide, to
which Clark had previously purchased,
and to which a part of the Pray's cargo
was transferred. Another small schooner
was also hauled alongside upon which
the balance of the cargo, rigging and
furniture of the Pray was takea After
everything valuable had been removed
and everything destroyed that would in
dicate the name of the vessel, she was
scuttled by boring several large augur
holes in her hull and abandoned. Clark
and his confederates disappeared, leaving
the Guide anchored not far from the
scene of the piracy, in charge of a man
by the name cf W. H. Way who, when
the vessel was visited by detectives,
represented himself as one who had
been hired by Clark to work
on the vessel, and who professed to know-
nothing of the robbery and scuttling of
the Pray.
On the Guide was found a large portion
of the goods taken from the Pray. The
vessel was seized and towed into New
York, but there is as yet no tidings of
Captain Clark or Jiis mate, who arc sup
posed to have gone to make arrangements
for the disposal of tlleir plunder.
This is certainly one of the most dar
ing and remarkable cases of barratry and
piracy on record, and, under the laws of
New York, is punishable with death.
Immigration to the South. — Mr.

Atlanta, Ga. , January 18.—In the
Telfair will case which had been argued
yesterday. Judge Clarke's argument was
not resumed this morning, as the court
announced ready to render the decision.
Acting Justice Hillyer delivered the de
cision in a brief, but comprehensive man
ner, dismissing the writ of error as to all
errors assigned, except the last assign
ment which seeks to set aside the judg
ment of the court below as rendered after
the new trial was granted, and upon the
latter point the judgment of the court
below is reversed.

was presided over by Mayor Angicr, but
none of the speakers advertised were

Col. G. W. Adair was called for by the
audience and created great enthusiasm in
favor of a conservative money platform.
Hon. Jno. H. James was also called out

Judge Daniel Pitman reported a long
list of resolutions against the wreckers
and praising Senator Gordon and censur
ing Senator Hill., which were adopted
without opposition. Judge Pitman then
addressed the meeting, after which it was
adjourned.
NOTES FROM THE NATIONAL
CAPITAL.
This course of contraction had been
pursued, but unhappily none of the good
results anticipated followed. The volume
of paper currency in circulation had
been regulated by the government and
not by ~ the requirements of business.
Since the panic of 1878 nothing had
flourished save government bonds.

In the Senate Mr. Conkling, of New
Y'ork, presented several petitions of citi
zens of Albany, N. A’., remonstrating
against the passage of the Bland silver
bill. Laid on table, the bill having been
reported to the Senate. In presenting
the memorial' he said they were signed
bv men representing not only money and
property, but enterprise also, and they
expressed the opinion that the passage of
the bill would be prejudicial to the honor
and credit of the government. He also
prescnled the memorial of the Albany
Boiird of Trade against the passage of
tliat bill. Laid on the table.
At the expiration of the morning hour
the Senate resumed the consideration of
unfinished business, it being the resolu
tion of Mr. Matthews, of Ohio, declar
ing the right of the government to pay
the interest and principal of bonds in
silver, and Mr. Merrimou, of North Caro
lina, spoke in favor thereof. He said
the subject was worthy of the most seri
ous consideration, and he trusted a free
and frank expresion of views would lead
the Senate to a wise and wholesome con
clusion. He would discuss the resolution
submitted by the Senator from Ohio (Mr.
Matthews), and not the expediency of re
monetizing silver. He would never con
sent that the honor and good faith of
the government should be impaired in
the slightest degree.
The naked question licfore the Senate
was whether the government could law
fully pay its creditors in silver of the
standard value of July 14th, 1870. He
then reviewed at some length the finan
cial legislation since 1862, and quoted
from various acts to show that all the
lionds issui-d were payable in legal ten
der coin of the United States. When these
acts were passed, there were but two
species of coins and tables by law, to-
wit, gold and silver; and as the contract
between the government and its credi
tors. the government could pay its debts
in both, or either of these coins. The
fact that there was more or less of a par
ticular kind of coin in circulation when
the bonds were issued did not affect the
contract at all.
It had been argued that the creditors
of the government did not have the sil
ver dollar in view when they bought the
bonds, because silver was not then in cir
culation. That made no difference. The
law then provided for the coinage of the
silver dollar as well as the gold dollar,
and had it been intended to exclude the
silver dollar when the bonds were issued
why was not a provision inserted for
that purpose? That the government had
the right to pay its bonds in silver was
(dear, and he could not see how any such
action could be looked upirn as
repudiation. He spoke or the
business prostration and suffering
existing throughout the country,
and argued that it was the effect of un
wise legislation. The nnaLCiil
tion since the war had been calculated
to enhance the value of the bonds of the
gove'rnnlent in the hands cf creditors.
In the natural order of things after Un-
war specie payments would have returned
and prosperity existed throughout the
country, but the interested bondholders
could not wait for things in their natural
ordar. It waa too slow. It was thought
that a rapid contraction of the paper
currency would restore prosperity and
the early resumption of specie payments.

WAR NOTES.
London, January 18.—No news has
been received from Suleiman Pasha,
yet Harmanli, where the Russian troops
are said to have arrived, is an important
point on his line of retreat to Adrianople.
If the Russians have gained that point
licfore him, as there is no reason to doubt,
lie not only has General Gourko's
pursuit to ’ beat back, but will
tie taken in his flank by
column marching from Eski Saghra.
while the force posted at Harmanli
stands directly in his front. Suleiman
Pasha's force includes the division he
brought from the Bulgaria garrisons of
Sophia and other towns up to Nish and
Chakir Pasha’s army from Kamarli. All.
however, are liy this time badly broken
and weakened by their hasty retreat and

the following, taken from the preface to the

‘Becoming at length satisfied by the truth of
