The report that Russia did not object to
Greece being represented in the coming

Will Not Mert With Encouragement
The London Economist doe9 not think
the proposal of the silver bill for an “in
ternational bi-metallic conference" will
meet with much encouragement in Eu
rope. It says it does not for one moment
apprehend that cither France. Italy, Bel
gium, Switzerland, or even any of the
smaller States interested in the Latin
Union, will, at an international con
gress convoked upon the invitation
of the .President of the United
States, be persuaded to fall hack into
the retrograde and ineffectual system of
a double standard, proved, as It has lieen,
to be full of errors and inconveniences;
and as to England, Germany, Sweden,
Denmark and Norway, or other countries
which have the advantage of a single
standard of gold, or as to India, which
has the next best thing to it, a single
standard of silver, there is no proba
bility of their entertaining so vision
ary a project as that of a bi-metallic
money and a see-saw standard.
The anti-silver ring may find comfort
in this assurance from the Economist
but even if its predictions should prove
true, and the conference contemplated by
the Senate amendment to the silver bill
should reject the bi-metal ic standard, its
action will not affect or change the deter
mination of the people of the United
States to utilize silver as coin, and to
moke it a legal tender with gold in the
transactions of both the govern
ment and people. It was hard
ly to be expected that the bond
holders of Europe or the governments of
the non-silver producing countries, com
prised in the Latin Union, would be de
sirous of giving currency value to silver
equal, proportionately, with that of
1(1 ’ Their disinclination to such an
adjustment is. however, no reason why
the silver hill should lie repealed, the
American dollar discarded, and gold es
tablished as the sole ami delusive stand
ai-d of value in the United States.

General Toombs and the Gubernato
rial Question.
General Toombs agrees with us
the agitation of the Gubernatorial
tion by the press at this time is pr
ture. In a recent interview with ©
the editors of the Atlanta Constitution
informed him that some of the p *ers
wanted to make him Governor, remark
ing that there was considerable discussion
on the subject, the General said: “Ye*,
“much more than ought to be. The
election is three * years off, and
no one knows the changes that
will take place in that lime. I will
be seventy years old, if alive; then I
agree with the views expressed in the
Constitution a few days ago, that the dis
cussion of the subject is premature."
The General admitted that he was dis
qualified from bolding office if the four
teenth amendment is law, but he main
tains that the amendment was made a
part of the constitution by force and
fraud, and that it was never adopted by
Legislatures of three-fourths of the States,
nor by conventions of three-fourths of
the States. “It was,” says he. “born of
the reconstruction acts, and lias no great
er validity than these acts." Being ask<*d
if he had any desire to be a candidate for
Governor, he replied:
“I have neither desire, wish or expec
tation ever to re-enter the public service
in any capacity whatever, or to hold any
office* civil of military, either under the
Government of the United States or the
State of Georgia, but as long as my life
may last I will consider myself equal to
the burthen and would re-enter the pub
lic service in any position which I may
be called by the people and in which, in
my judgment, I would promote the good
government of the human race, ana es
pecially of that in which Providence has
cast my destiny. My determination on
such a question would not in the least be
affected by the fourteenth amendment.
It cannot bind my conscience, and there
fore can never control my action. I
have nothing to make in public life. 1
would consider it a public calamity to
me. I want to see the new generation
that is coming on take charge of matter*.
If I ever conclude to run the people will
know it, because they will have to de
mand it, but I don’t intend to kick be
fore I am spurred.”

CBLKBKATION OF ST.
KICK’S DAY.
Returning Board Anderson Rescued
from the Law.
It will be seen by our dispatches this
morning that Returning Board Ander
son, convicted of perjury ami forgery,
has. by the intervention of a technical
decision by the Supreme Court of Loui
siana, been rescued from the clutches of
the law and the just punishment of his
crime. Since it was a matter of political
necessity that* the perpetrators of the
fraud by which Mr. Hayes was counted
into the Presidency,.should Ik? protected,
it is perhaps as well that the outrage
against law, right and justice should be
accomplished in this way as by any other
means. It at least relieves Governor Nidi
oils from the performance of n disagree
able. office, and, though based on bal l
technicality, is equally as gratifying to
Mr. Ilnyes as a pardon would have been.
pccially as the decision that an election
return is not a public document, covers I cle in law
the cases of Wells and the other conspirn- -* f wo “ en P 1 * 4
tors. In reaching this remarkable deci-
ion. the Supreme Court 1ms reversed the
loctrine of the electoral commission, for
while the “eight-to-»even” maintained
that it was aliumle to go lieliind the
count of the returning board to consult r
the validity of the returns, the court
goes behind the evidence and the decision
of the court below to declare that the
altered election returns were not public
documents, and therefore it was no crime
to alter and falsify them. Well, well'

Sitting Bull Preparing for War
this Spring.—The information received
at the array headquarters in Washington
about Sitting Bull, his intentions, and
the condition of his followers is directly
opposite to the press reports. Phim till
information it appears that Sitting Bull
and his people are not on the verge of
starvation as represented, but are in fine
condition. The winter has been very
mild where he is now living, buffalo and
other game plentiful, grass plentiful and
comparatively fresh, and their ponies in
fine condition. His followers have pleu
ty of arms and ammunition, and are daily
increasing in numliers. He does not
want to surrender, but evinces a strong
de-ire to go on the war path. In ail the
pledges he has made to the Canadian au
thorities he has never promised anything
more than not to make war on the United
States while on Canadian soil. It is lie
lieved that he Is preparing for another
war next spring, and will be joined as
soon as he crosses the liorder by all the
roving and disaffected bands of Indians
in the northwest.
A Female Forger.—Facts have come
to light which show that Miss Mary
Hampton, a teacher in the public schools
at Memphis, Tenn., has been guilty of
forgery in several sums, aggregating pro
bablv $.1000. She used the name of J.
T. Heath, Superintendent of the Public
Scuook, in the indorsement of notes
which she got cashed by the Emmet Bank
and various individuals. Her forgeries
extend to school warrants, and include
the name of her own spiritual adviser.
Rev. Father Walsh. Both Miss Hamp
ton and her widowed mother are re
spected teachers of long service.
Flight ok President Baez.—The
French mail steamer from St. Thomas,
Biarch 10th, arrived at Havana Friday
News had been received at St. Thomas
that President Baez, of San Domingo,
with his family, arrived at Mayaguez. in
the Hand of Porto Rico, on March 5th.
The fact of his arrival is all that was
known in St. Thomas when the steamer
left. No further particulars had been
received from Porto Rico to explain the
President's departure from San Domingo,
and no news whatever of late events in
San Domingo hud reached St. Thomas
There is now pending before the House
Coinage Committee a proposition to
amend section three of the silver dollar
law so as to provide for silver coin cer
tificates of the denomination of one,
two and five dollars. The lowest de
nomination provided in the existing law
is tcc dollars. Mr. Stephens, Chairman
of the committee, will urge an amend
ment providing for certificates of de
nomination of one dollar, and a bill em
bodying ilia? provision will probably lie
reported at an early day.
The letter of Secretary Evarts to our
Ministers at the various foreign courts
comprising the Latin Union encloses a
copy of the silver bill, and contains the
following paragraph: “You will observe
that an early adhesion of at least three
of the European nations to the project
of a conference isof the first importance.
This being secured, it will be in the
power of the President to appoint the
commissioners provided for, in such case,
by the act of Congress. ”

Washington, March 18.—Mr. Edmunds,
of Vermont, from the Committee on Judi

the higher court of any State or Territory «>r
District of Columbia for a period of t&ree
y»-.ir-. may I»e admitted to practice in the
Supreme Court of the United States.
Mr. Edmunds said the ground of the ad
verse report of the committee was that by
the law of the land, as it has existed since
the organization of the government, the Su
preme Court, as well as all other United
States Courts, were authorized to make their
own rules touching the admission of
attorney*, so that there was no ohsta-
prohibiling the admission
ractice in tue United State-.
Jit depended entirely upou the
discretion of the court.’ The Committee
on the Judiciary thought the act would
make a discrimination iu favor of women,
a- it compelled the court to admit women to
practice when it was not bound to admit
inen. •
On motion of Mr. Sargent the bill was

report.

to-morrow, have applied to Archbishop
Lynch for the use or St. John’* Hall, Bond

New York, March 18.—Advices
from
Panama confirm the report of the fire there
on the 6th in-t., involving a loss of half a
million dollars. The fire broke out in a
drug store, caused by the clerk carelessly
throwing a lighted match Into a measure of
bay rum. It spread with wonderful rapidi-
ity, and half of the northeast side -and all
of the east side of the plaza were in ruins in
less than an hour. Both sides of the Calle Los
Monjas from the plaza to CallejonChicteme
aud all the square bounded by Calle Los
Monjas, Callejon C'hieheme, Calle Santo Do
mingo and Calle de Moreno, were destroyed
within a few hours. Owing to the unusual
ly dry season everything was in a highly in
flammable condition. There were no w’atcr
appliances for extinguishing fire, except
those iu the Grand Hotel. A detachment of
fifty men from the United States steamer
Adams, and some sixty-five from the
German steamer Elizabeth, both iu
port, were sent on shore, and did good

In the gullet called “heartburn” (why, it is im
possible to conceive, since the heart has noth
ing to do with itt. is caused by the acetous fer
mentation in the stomach of the food contained
in it: by an overplus of the gastric juice, which
is itself a powerful acid, or by the unnaturally
acrid quality of that secretion. The ordinary
way of treating this symptom, for it is nothing
else, is to administer bi carbonate of soda, an
alkali, to neutralize the acid. But sour stomach
cannot be cured by alkalis, which tend to
weaken the digestive apparatus. A far better
remedy .s Hostetler s Stomach Bitters, which
strengthens the cellular membrane, the seat of
the difficulty, regulates the flow of the gastric
secretion, improves the quality if vitiated, and
