TAPPING T11IS WIRES.
Mr. Jolm Back, Postmaster at French-
burg, Ky., has been arrested for robbing
valuable letters.
Representatives of Northern settlers in live
States of the South have held a meeting at
Charlotte, North Carolina, and resolved
that they are perfectly satisfied with their
treatment iu the South, and that in no sec‘
tion of the country are the rights of citizens
more thoroughly protected.
Clement L. Walker, United States District
Attorney for New Orleans, testified before
the Blaine-Teller Committee yesterday that
he believed the Democrats used fraud in the
recent elections in that city.
The board of experts who visited Mem
phis and New Orleans, to inquire into the
causes of yellow fever, and what measures
should be taken to prevent a recurrence of
the disease, have returned to Washingtor,
and will in a few days make their report.
The Democratic Senators yesterday held
a caucus to determine what action to take
iu regard t# the resolution lately offered by
Edmunds. The matter was finally sub
mitted to a committee of seven headed by
Senator Thurman. The caucus also ap
pointed a committee of three to determine
what action should be tsken to secure a re
peal of the section of the United States
Revised Statutes prescribing test oaths for
jurors in United States courts.
Sunday uight the escaped Cheyenne
Jnuiaus strengthened their position in the
bed of Indian creek, and on noon Monday
the twelve pound Napoleon gun was
brought up, but could not be brought to
bear ou them. On Tuesday morning it was
ascertained that the Indians had left during
the previous night. The troops will go on
an extended scout in pursuit of them.
It is not believed possible that a single
one of the sixty victims of the Dinas mine
explosion can be alive, or, if so, can br
rescued. Eighty yards of the roof at the
bottom of the shaft have fallen in, render
ing exploratioa impossible.
The Aargan Spinning and Weaving Com
pany, one of the most important cotton
concerns iu Switzerland, has been forced to
dissolve because of bad business.
Russia, it is understood, accepts a reduc
tion of the Turkish war indemnity by one
hundred million roubles, and also in pay
ment of paper roubles.
In the United States Senate yesterday,
Mr. Voorhees, of iudiana, submitted a re
solution to instruct the Committee on In
dian Affairs to inquire iuto the circum
stances which led to the recent escape of
Cheyenne Indians from Fort Sill, Texas,
and their subsequent slaughter by United
States soldiers. In the House a bill re
ported from the Ways and Means Com
mittee for the issue of certificates of deposit
of denominations of ten dollars bearing in
terest of three per cent., and convertible
into four per cent, bonds, was considered,
and after considerable discussion passed.
The House Committee on Banking and
Currency have authorized Representative
Ewing to offer an amendment to the bill
now pending for a repeal of the resumption
act, to the effect that moncy£received from
the sale of United States bonds shall be ap
plied only to the redemption of other bonds
bearing a higher rate of interest, and that
whenever the sale of the four cents, amount
to $3,000,000 the same shall be applied to
the redemption of that amount of bonds
called in for redemption, the interest on
these latter bonds to cease In thirty days.
Also, providing that all United States notes
received in the Treasury iu exchange for
coin shall be reissued and kept in circula
tion without change in the aggregate
amount of the several denominations exist
ing on the 31st day of May last, and pro
hibiting the issue of legal tender notes of a
larger amount than $1,000.
In the Sayre murder case at Pottsviile,
Governor Ilartrauft having refused to con
sider the application of a further respite,
the execution of Martin Bergens is certain.
In the case of Blasus Pistonus, the Eoman
Catholic priest, the Board of Pardons have
unanimously recommended a commutation
of the death sentence to life imprisonment.
Considerable opposition is expressed to an
interference with the execution of the law,
however.
The Pope has been recommended to ac
cept the resignation of Archbishop Purcell,
of Cincinnati. The question of his suc
cessor is already being discussed.
N. P. llill, Republican, was yesterday
elected United States Senator from Colora
do. Ex-Governor Vance was unanimously
nominated for Senator from. North Carolina
by a caucus of Democratic members of the
Legislature of that State.
Election Ari ses in the North.—
Tie committee of the two houses to
accompany the remains of Representa
tive Schleicher to Texas will be absent
about ten days. As Senator Bayard is a
member of this committee, his absence
will prevent for the present any iuvesti
gation by the Blaine outrage committee
of the alleged wrongs in the elections
North. Mr. Bayard has really no de
sire to go into such an investigation as
he thinks no good can be subserved by it.
The Color a ik) Senator.—William
Hill, the Republican caucus nominee for
Senator from Colorado, will be probably
elected by the Legislature of that State
this week. lie is the gentleman who,
according to the public declaration of
Representative Patterson, of Colorado,
contributed large sums of money to aid
in the election of Republican candidates
for the Legislature with the distinct un
derstanding that he should be elected
United States Senator.
Liff.-Saving Stations.—Already over
one thousand dollars have been sub
scribed for the establishment of life
saving stations along the river front of
New' Y'ork city, and the Erpret* says
it is believed that before long enough
will have been raised to make the pro
posed stations established facts. Captain
Boyton says over two hundred men are
lost off the docks of New York every
year.
Here is a case in which “the logic of
facts' did unquestionably “govern the
function of proceedings.” We find it
stated without comment in the Nashville
American:
“What? Twenty-five CeP* 5 a pound
for sausages? Why, I can get down
at Schmidt’s for twenty cents.”
“Veil, den, vy didn’t j’er?”
“ ’Cause Schmidt was out of ’em.”
“Veil, uf I was owt of ’em I sell ’em
for twendy cents, too. ”
The Geological Survey—What has
been Accomplished—The Present
Status of the Department.
Much surprise has been expressed that
the Legislature, at its late session, failed
to make an appropriation to continue
the geological survey of the State, a
work of vast importance to our material
progress, and thus far conducted, ap
parently, with commendable skill and
energ \ The matter was laid over for
consideration at the adjourned session
in July, and, as a necessary consequence,
the operations of the department will be
suspended during the interval, a result
much to be deplored.
As opportune, and a matter of interest
Uk at least every intelligent reader, we
propose to give a brief history of this
survey as contained in such official data
as we have at our command, in order
that all may understand the exact status
of its affairs.
In the month of February, 1874, at
the suggestion of Professor Wm. Leroy
Broun, at that time President of the
Agricultural and Mechanical College
connected with the State University at
Athens, I)r. H. II. Carlton, then a Re
presentative from Clarke county, intro
duced in the House “A bill to establish
the office of State Geologist, and to pro
vide for a mineralogical, geological and
physical survey of the Sta’e.” This bill
was passed into a law, and Governor
James M. Smith, by the authority vested
in the Executive, appointed Dr. George
Little, then holding the Professorship of
Mineralogy and Geology in the Univer
sity of Mississippi, and formerly State
Geologist of that State, as head of the
new department. The law required the
survey to be carried on in the three sec
tions know r n as North, Middle and South
Georgia, simultaneous^’ beginning at the
eastern or western border of the State,
and taking each tier of counties in suc
cession. Iu bis first report to the Legis
lature. January, 1875, Dr. Little stated
that it would require ten years to finish
the w T ork.
Dr. Little entered upon his duties soon
after his appointment, having selected
the following corps of assistants: Mr.
A. R. McCutchcn, for the Northern di
vision; Mr. D. C. Barrow, for the Mid
dle division; Mr. W. S. Schley, for the
Southern division; Mr. C. A. Locke,
Engineer; Mr. W. J. Land, Chemist.
Mr. Barrow', on account of a death in his
family, and his private affairs demand
ing his persoual attention, after a brief
service resigned, and was succeeded by
Mr. R. II. Loughridge. Special work
was done in the gold region during one
season by Professor F. II. Bradley, now
successfully operating one of the largest
and best gold mills in the State, on the
properly of the Nacoochee Gold Mining
Company.
The last report of the Geologist
to the Governor, aud submitted by
the latter to the Legislature at its late
session, showed that ten counties in
Northwest Georgia, to wit: Dade, Wal
ker, Chattooga, Catoosa, Whitfield,
Murray, Gordon, Bartow, Polk, and
Floyds had been surveyed and complete
and accurate maps of these counties had
been made, with a complete cross section
from the Alabama line to the Coliutta
mountains, on the western line of
Pickens county.
In Middle Georgia eighteen counties,
to wit: Cherokee, Cobb, Fulton, Doug
las, Paulding, Haralson, Carroll, Camp
bell, Ileard, Clayton, Coweta, Fayette,
Troup, Meriwether, Harris, Muscogee,
Talbot and Taylor, had been surveyed.
Iu Southwest Georgia twenty tiro coun
ties, to wit: Muscogee, Crawford, Hous
ton, Macon, Marion, Schley, Chattahoo
chee. Clay, Stewart, Webster, Sumter,
Lee, Terrell, Quitman, Randolph,Dough
erty, Culhoun, Early, 31iiler, Baker,
Mitchell. Thomas and Decatur, have also
been surveyed.
Besides this regularly progressing
work, a special examination was made
of the Blue Ridge counties, with refer
ence to locating the gold territory, by
Professor Bradley, and of the counties
of Twiggs, Wilkinson, Laurens, John
son, Washington, Jefferson, Burke and
Richmond,for the purpose of tracing out
the marl beds which had been found in
Houston, Clay, Chattahoochee and other
counties in the southwest by Mr. M. T-
Singleton. Still another special work
was a thorough survey of the Okefino-
kee Swamp in Charlton, Ware and Clinch
counties.
About seventy-five marls have been
analyzed in the laboratory of the State
University by Professor II. C. White, as
sisted by Dr. James Little. Many of
these are very rich in lime, and some
contain th r ee per cent, of potash, while
the beds vary iu ih'ckness from one foot
to twenty feet.
About 000 streams have been carefully
measured, and the water powers,
ranging from 1 horse power to 35,000
horse power, determined by Mr. Locke,
engineer of the department.
A collection of 10,000 specimens of
ores, minerals and building stones has
been made; and about 75 specimens of
woods, out of 225 known in the State,
have been arranged in the capitol build
ing, showing our iudepeudence* of the
rest of the country for materials for
furniture, w’agons, and all other neces
sary wood work. The list of minerals
embraces gold, silver, copper, lead, iron,
manganese, barite; that of rocks in
cludes soapstone, limestone, sandstone,
granite. The precious stones include
amethyst, opal, garnet, beryle, ruby,
sapphire and diamond. All these are
so arranged by counties, and labeled
with the name of the owner, number
of the lot of land, section and
township, that persons from the North
Jute Culture in South Carolina.
Experiments have been made for some
time past in South Carolina, at the in
stance of the Agricultural Society, in the
cultivation of jute. The idea was to
turther utilize the low lands of the State:
but the instructions given were incom
plete, and the results obtained are scarce
ly what was anticipated. Nevertheless,
the experiments made conclusively
demonstrated that the soil and climate of
those portions of the State are well
adapted to the growth of jute, and the
Agricultural Society have ordered from
India a quantity of seed, expected to ar
rive by April. The coast lands are the
portions intended for the experiment,
and, remarks the New York Commercial
Bulletin, since no less than one hundred
and ten million pounds of jute were con
sumed in the United States in 1877, the
experiment, if successful, must be the
opening of a profitable business.
The Charleston News and Courier says:
‘ This productive power of South Caro
lina will soon become enormous, and we
have here in Charleston a factory that
is profitably making bagging from im
ported fibre. When South Carolina
shall both grow’ the jute and manufacture
the fibre, a long stride will have been
made towards securing for lower South
Carolina a prosperity as great as that
which followed the change from grow
ing tobacco and indigo to planting cot
ton. Jute, with small grain aud hay,
and with tea added, will solve the low-
country problem.”
Any expedient for diversifying the
fit Id productions of the South must be
beneficial to our agricultural interests,
and should the experiment of growing
jute on the Carolina coast lands prove
successful, it will not be long before
similar lands ou the Georgia coast will
be devoted to the culture of that plant.
The Two Electoral Dills.
The Southard electoral bill which the
House committee is expected to present
to the House with a favorable report as a
substitute for the Edmunds bill, re
cently passed by the Senate, differs
from it especially in omitting to increase
the time intervening between the meet
ing of the electors and the counting of
the vote in Congress and iu the treat
ment of the electoral returns by Con
gress. Senator Edmunds proposes that
tribunals provided by the respective
States shall decide as to the true re-
turnsjof a State, and that where such
decision is made it shall require the vole
of both Houses to overthrow it; where
such decision is not made and the con
flicting returns are sent in it shall re
quire the consent of both houses to
count the vote of the State. Mr. South
ard’s bill, after providing that iu
case of controversy as to the appoint
ment or eligibility of electors the highest
judicial tribunal of a State shall make
decision, and it shall require the vote of
both houses to reverse such decision. If
there are two judicial decisions, both
purporting to be by the highest court of
the same State, the one which is accepted
by both houses shall be deemed conclu
sive. If from a State where there is a
controversy no judicial decision is re
ceived the contested votes of that State
shall not be counted unless by the con
sent of both houses, and the certificate
accepted by both houses shall be conclu
sive. It is thought that the Southard bill
will not pass the Senate even if approved
by the House.
Mr. Buell, tLe talented Washington
writer, credits Senator Eaton with some
sensible remarks anent the Burnside
army bill. BeiDg asked his opinion of
the new army bill, this defender of the
Constitution replied that “it appeared to
give Bill Sherman about the same auto
cratic control of the army that John
Sliermau already held over the finances
of the country through the Treasury,”
adding that “with the nation^ power of
the Purse and the Sword securely lodged
in the hands of the Sherman family he
couldn’t see any further use for parlia
mentary institutions in the country!”
The Beefsteak Club, of New Y'ork,
gave its second annual dinner Saturday
evening, and among the members present
were Martin Van Buren, W. W. Astor
and Campbell Stuart. After the dinner
a large silver cup, filled with Burgundy
wine, was passed around the table, each
jnember toasting the club before drink-

and West and from Europe can readily
find any material in which they may
wish to invest their capital. Daily there
are such visitors to the rooms of the
survey, aud hundreds of letters have
been received from others, to whom these
visitors have spoken of our goodly land,
asking for further information aud for
printed reports. Hundreds of thousands
of dollars have already been invested in
the State by residents of distant States,
induced chiefly by the information of
our resources disseminated through the
agency of the Geological Survey. The
gold yield, alone, estimated in 1874 at
$40,000 yearly, now reaches near a half
millicfh annually.
Without entering into further details,
we submit this brief view of the opera
tions of the Geological Survey, with the
hope of inspiring some just degree of
interest in an institution that must, if
properly fostered, contribute large.y not
only to the reputation, but to the mate
rial wealth of the State. We regard Its
teiRDOrary suspension as most unwise.
True economy dictates that it should be
continued, and that such facilities
should be afforded it as will enable it to
achieve the greatest possible amount oi

Counting the Electoral Vote.—
Although, says the Washington corres.-
pondent of the Baltimore Sun, the House
committee ou the subject of counting
the electoral vote has agreed to report
and urge the passage of what is known
as the Southard hill, its rejection of the
Edmunds bill, which has passed the
Senate, makes the failure of auy legisla
tion on the subject at this session a
foregone conclusion. The Rouse Demo
crats do not rise above partisan consid
erations any more than the Senate Re
publicans, and they are therefore
perfectly satisfied to let things
hike there course. A suggestion
has been made tb«t, in the absence
of legislation, the Democrats, although
they will control both branches of the
next Congress, may not find it plain sail
ing in case of a close Presidential con
test, as. Vice President Wheeler may
,X^ume that he has the power, as Presi
dent of ike Senate, to open and count
the votes. There i? nothing in this sug
gestion, as in case of political necessity
the two Democratic houses of Congress
can follow the precedent set by their
Republican predecessors, and adopt a
joint rule by concurrent resolution de
claring the method of counting the elec
toral vote.
Breath Gymnastics.
Chambers' Journal.
The importance of breathing plenti
fully of fresh air as an essential of
health is generally admitted. Well ven
tilated rooms, open air exercises and ex
cursions into the country are appre
ciated to some extent by all classes. But
the art of breathing is very much over
looked. Being a process not depend
ing on the will for its exercise, it is
too much left to the mere call of nature.
It is, however, au act which can be in
fluenced very materially by the will.
Properly trained singers are taught to
attend very carefully to their breathing.
When brisk muscular exercise is
taken breathing is naturally active with
out any special effort. But when the
body is at rest or engaged in occupation
requiring a confined posture, and espe
cially when the mind is absorbed in
thought, the breathing naturally be
comes diminished and the action of the
lungs slow 7 and feeble. The conse
quence is that the oxygenation of the
blood is imperfectly carried on. Even
In taking a constitutional W’alk the full
benefit is not attained for want of thor
ough breathing.
As a remedy for this it has been sug
gested that there is room for what might
might be fitly termed breath gj-rauastics
—to draw in long and full breaths, filling
the lungs full at every inspiration and to
acquire the habit of full breathing at all
times. This habit of full breathing has
a direct effect in supplying the largest
possible amount of oxygen to the blood
and more thoroughly consuming the
carbon and so producing animal heat.
It has also the very important effect of
expanding the chest and so contributing
to the vigor of the system.
The breath should be inhaled by the
nostrils as well as by the mouth, more
especially while out of doors and in cold
weather. This has partly the effect of a
respirator in so far as warming the air iu
its passage to the delieate air cells and in
al>o rendering one less liable to catch
cold.
This full respiration is of so much im
portance that no proper substitute is to
be found for it in shorter though more
rapid breathing. In short breathing a
large portion of the air cells remains
nearly stationary, the upper portion of
the lungs only being engaged in receiv
ing and discharging a small portion of
air.
Profound thought, intense grief and
other similar mental manifestations have
a depressing effect on respiration. "Hie
blood unduly accumulates in the brain,
and the circulation iu both heart and
lungs becomes diminished, unless in
deed there be feverishness present. An
occasional long breath or deep-drawn
sigh is the natural relief in such a case,
nature making an effoit to provide a
remedy. This hint should be acted on
and followed up. Brisk muscular exer
cise iu the open air even during incle
ment weather is an excellent antidote of
a physical kind fora “rooted sorrow.”
And the earnest student, instead of tying
himself to his desk, might imitate a
friend of the writer of this, who wrote
and studied while on his legs. Pacing
his room, blad in hand with paper at
tached, he stopped as occasion required
to pen a sentence or a paragraph.
Breathing is the first and last act of
man and is of the most vital necessity all
through life. Persons with full, broad,
deep chests naturally breathe freely and
slowly, and large nostrils generally ac
company large chests. Such persons
rarely take cold, and when they do they
throw it off easily. The opposite build
of chest is more predisposed to lung dis
ease. The pallid complexion and conspi
cuous blue veins show that oxygen is
wanted, and that ever}’ means should be
used to obtain it. Deep breathing also
promotes perspiration, by increasing the
circulation and the animal warmth.
Waste is more rapidly repaired, and the
skin is put in requsition to remove the
used materials. .Many forms of disease
may he thus prevented and more vigorous
health enjoyed.
BY TELEGRAPH.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Opinions of Northern and Southern
Senators on Edmunds' Resolution.
THE WHOLE SUBJECT REFERRED TO
A SPECIAL COMMITTEE.
Old Flglit Over the New York C us
tom House Officials Renewed.
Special Telegram to the Morning Sews.
Washington, January 15.—The Demo
cratic Senators in caucus to-day discussed
at length the Southern enforcement propo
sitions in Edmunds’ resolution. Southern
Senators favored a non-aggressive policy on
the subject, and said the Southern people
could take care of their own affairs, and that
to attempt to influence public sentiment in
the North by compromising public senti
ment in the South would not be satis
factory to them nor the people of
the South. Northern Senators said
there was a popular feeling in the South
in favor of the observance of all
constitutional amendments, and any effort
to render them ineffective, or even passive
acquiescence in such a course would have a
very injurious effect upon the prospects of
their wing of the party. After considera
ble discussion, it was linally decided to
leave the whole matter to au advisory com
mittee to take into consideration and report
from time to time to the caucus what course
should be pursued by the Democrats of the
Senate-in dealing with all attempted politi
cal legislation. The committee is as fol
lows: Mr.^Thurman, Chairman; Messrs.
Eaton, Morgan, McDonald, Saulsbury, Gor
don aud Harris, two Eastern, two Western
and three Southern Senators.
In the Senate, in executive session this
afternoon, the old fight of Gonkliug against
the administration over the New York
custom house appointments came up. A
communication came from Mr. Hayes which
wa£ read, giving his reasons for the removal
of Collector Arthur aud Naval Oflicer Cor
nell. It is said that political intrigue had
crept into the ollice and made it an institu
tion for the advancement of certain New
York Republicans. There has also been
committed there gross frauds on the reve
nue.
The communication lead to a lively de
bate. Conkling, Edmunds, Howe and other
Uepub’icans bitterly inveighed against
Hayes, and said that personal feeling
against certain Republicans alone lead
to the change in the custom house officers.
Thurman and one or two Democrats
spoke in accord with Conkling, aud
said there was no reason why Arthur
and Cornell should have been re
moved, as there was nothing to show
they were not excellent officers. Hayes’
communication was referred to the Com
mittee ou Commerce, of which Conkling is
the Chairman, for a report whether the
nominations should be rejected or con
firmed. There is no doubt but they will be
almost unanimously rejected. This will
almost make imperative an extra session of
the Senate, at least.
GERMAN V AND THE VATICAN—ABCHBISHOI*

London, January 15.—A Reuter telegram
from Rome contains the following: “There
has been a fresh interchange of notes be
tween the Vatican and Germany.
“The Prefect of the congregation propa
ganda Jidem reported in favor of accepting
the resignation of Archbishop Purcell of
Cincinnati. The Pope is expected to ap
prove this conclusion. The question of a
successor to Archbishop Purcell is already
under consideration.’'
PRIZE FIGHTERS ARRESTED.
Philadelphia, January 15.—At the Cen
tral Station Arthur Chambers, John King
and John H. Clark were arraigned on the
charge of conspiring to fight a prize fight.
Several officers testified that King and
Clark were introduced with Chambers to an
audience at the Grand Central Theatre, Jan

The defendants were held in $1,000 bail. A
further hearing will be had on Wednesday
next.

Scene in Haytl.
Hartford Times.
Dr. Erastus Wilson’s account of his trip
to Bogota includes a touch or two of
scene-painting on the way dow'n to the
main land, through the island of the
West Indies.
On the way down, from the north, the
steamer stopped a day or two at Port-au-
Prince, in Hayti, the negro republic.
There, where the negroes have full
swing, he found the surface sewage (for
the town has no sewers) had rendered
foul and evil smelling the very water of
the harbor—the sea-water—for quite a
distance from shore. Under a hot sun,
and quite shut out from the trade winds
by high hills, such a state of things
necessarily produces fevers. But by
these and other things our traveler
was convinced, in regard to Hayti,
that “civilization in these regions
must necessarily be of foreign
growth and importation: a reflected
light.” lie sees evidences of a higher
civilization once existing there, but “it
has ebbed away, and is still receding,
perhaps never to return.” It is a natu
rally rich and beautiful island, produc
ing an abundance of coffee in its wild
state, and all tropical fruits and crops,
but tbe negro government of Hayti is a
wretched affair, all progress is rendered
impossible, and the west end of the
island is far less inviting than Santo
Domingo, the eastern part.
While his steamer lay at the decaying
town of Port-au-Prince (a hot, repulsive
hole), the Doctor saw this sight:

Philadelphia, May 28, 1877.
Gentlemen,—Having used your Cocoaine for
the past ten or twelve years, 1 take pleasure in
giving as my opinion that no preparation made
in this country will keep tho hair so soft and
glossy, and, at the same time, allay all irrita

Messrs. Joseph Burnett & Co.:
Gentlemen,—For over two years I liavo suf
fered terribly with “ scald head ” in its worst
form. A few weeks ago I tried a bottle of your
Cocoaine. Tho first application gave me re
lief, and now the disease is effectually cured.
I cheerfully recommend Burnett’s Cocoaine
to any one suffering with the above complaint.
Yours respectfully,

A SHARK S LEAP AFTER INDIGESTIBLE
FOOD.

The L.erman sieamer lying near us
(Jrew up its anchor somewhat quickly
with its steam winfllass, and when ii was
about fifteen feet above the water, a

covered from a distance the moving ob

after it perpendicularly more than its full
length, some twelve to fourteen feet, into
the air.
AFRIC AN MILITARY GRANDEUR.
Boston culeha has brought about a
novel tragedy. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson
both entertained the belief that each was
the intellectual superior of the other,
and, as they could jnot agree upon th
point themselves, they betook thcmselvts
to a phrenologist and engaged his ser
vice* to decide the question for them.
The man of science accordingly examined
the craniums of husband and wife, and as
the result of his investigation proclaimed
that Mrs. Wilson intellectually was
the better man of the two. and was natu
rally entitled to leadership in the family.
Mr. Wilson’s refined Bostonian organiza
tion was greitly shocked by this intelli
gence, and “he weepingly declared that
he had made the most serious blunder of
bis life in mairying a woman who knew’
more than he did;” w’hereupon he pro
ceeded to put an end to his own life and
that of Mrs. Wilson. The phrenologist
was evidently right.
Dan Rice, the veteran showman, de
clares that he regrets four things in his
long and eventful life : “1. Learning
Miss Adeline Patti to swear when she
was a little girl in New Orleans and
I was teaching her horseback riding.
2. That I did not, for my country’s
good, bqy up the delegatee to the Na
tional Convention that nominated Gov.
Seymour for President, wfien my repre
sentative telegraphed me I coqld get
the nomination for about $80,000. 3.
Encouraging little boys in early times to
steal under my tent to see the circus.
Experience has proved I w T as morally
wiong, from the fact that when they
grew’ up I had to instruct my men to
keep a good lookout or they would steal
the tent, 4. That I had not followed
over forty vears ago the advice of John
Newland Alaffit. a great revivalist, to
become a minister of the Gospel instead
of a minister of fun.”
Commander D. C. Kells, United
States Navy, is to be court m&rtialed in
New Orleans for calling Senator Kellogg
a liar and saying other ugly things about
him. From which it is to be inferred
that naval officers are not allowed to tell
the truth in such cases.
A Professor who had been trying for
a half hour to explain a formula on the
board, turns with bis finger on his nose,
w’hich is a very prominent feature, and
says severely: “Is this now apparent to
you all?” (Freshmen grin.) “I am
aware, gentlemen, that it is long.”
(Frcol?men grin audibly.) “But I hope
vou see the pCl?*-- (Flight pedal ap
plause.; It is called ]>ons of
which I hop© yon «ee the application."
(Loud and continued appiiuse.)
At Gonaives the arrival of the llaytien
President made a stir and brought out a
military parade—for the negroes are
great lovers of military display. In fact,
they are the very race to develop and
perpetuate it. {t was a battalion of in
tantry. The dress was of all sorts and
sizes, and a little of everything in tne
way of variety j and the marching was
more varied and independent than the
dress.
“Indeed, the whold cffair seemed a
laughable burlesque. Here are, surely,
worn by the officers, military suits more
ancient than the wearers, some of tiiem,
no doubt, antedating Toussaint l’Over-
ture, being vestiges of the French domi
nation. It is a curious spectacle, to be
long remembered. The ebony privates
straggling along in the most unsoldierly
indolence, in step as discordant as the
notes of the nondescript musical instru
ments which cannot be said to mark ihe
time, the officers now and anon berating
this w T ant of harmony, to be scoided in
turn, in presence of his men, by a higher
officer, for excess of zeal; both clearly
actuated by personal vanity, seeking op
portunity for exhibition of authority to
admiring friends. To heighten the ludi.
crous effect, we were told by a foreign
resident that during the Franco German
war an editorial article upon it iu the
leading newspaper of the capital, closed
with the followingapostrophe: ‘Courage,
brave France, Hayti is looking on.’ ”
That last touch was too good to lose;
and we have quoted the whole paragraph
chiefly for the sake of getting that. It
would have finely rounded off one of the
late Senator Sumner’s Hayti speeches.

ADDITIONAL CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
Washington, January 15.—In the House
yesterday, Mr. Garfield stated that he de
sired to offer an amendment to the bill pro
viding that United States notes shall be re
ceived for imports, providing that such
notes should be receivable only so long as
they were equivalent to coin. [Cries of no,
no.] He did not propose for one to shut off
the supply of coin to meet the interest on
the public debt in case a calamity should
happen to the country. Wood, acting as
the organ of the committee, yielded to the
introduction of the amendment, and the
previous question was ordered.
Harrison to Garfield—Has the gentleman
any doubt about the success of resumption ?
Garfield—I have no doubt of the success
of resumption unless by such a bill as this
or some other hostile legislalion, resumption
is destroyed. The amendment was then
defeated. Yeas 73, nays 115.
Mr. Garfield—Believing this bill to be a
serious attack upon resumption, I move to
lay it on the table.
The House refused to lay the bill on the
table by a vote of yeas 41, nays 155. Tbe
bill was then passed—yeas 154, nays 43. It
simply provides that after the passage of
the act United States notes shall be receiv
ed in payment of duties on imports.
Mr. Wood also reported a bill to facilitate
the refunding of the national debt. It au
thorizes the Secretary of the Treasury, in the
process of refunding the national debt, to
exchange, directly at par, bonds bearing
four per cent, interest for the 5.20’s outstand
ing and uncalled for, and directs that when
ever all such 5.20 bonds have been redeemed
according to the provisions of this section, all
existing provisions of the law authorizing
the refunding of the national debt shall
apply to any bonds of the United States
bearing 5 per cent, or a higher interest,
which will be redeemable, and that in any
such exchange interest shall be allowed on
bonds redeemable for a period of three
months.
The main question being ordered, the
House adjourned at 10:50.
TRB CASES OF TWO MORE PENNSYLVANIA
MURDERERS.
Harrisburg, Pa., January 15.—The ac
tion of the Supreme Court in virtually offer
ing the constitutionality of the law in rela
tion to writs of error in the Sayre murder
case, will make Martin Bergen’s execution
at Pottsviile certain, Governor llartranft
having refused to favorably consider an ap
plication for further respite for that reason.
As soon as he receives the necessary papers
in the Sayre case he will issue another death
warrant. The time of the execution will be
put far enough ahead to enable the matter
to be fully heard by the Board of Pardons.
The plea will be made that he is not a tit
subject for hanging on the alleged ground
of insanity.
As the Board of pardoBs are unanimous
ly in favor of the commutation of the
death sentence of Blasus Pistorious, the
Catholic priest, to life imprisonment, the
Governor will probably comply with its
request, although there is considerable op
position to an interference with the execu
tion of the law. Tbe widow of the mur
dered man Jaquette has written a letter to
the Governor in which she eearnestly protests
against a commutation.
