TAPPING THE WIRES.
The Alabama Senate has adopted a reso
lution denouncing Federal interference in
State elections as an evil of great magni
tude, and instructing its Committee on For
eign Relations to inquire into the expediency
of providing by law for the selection of
electors for President and Vice President by
the General Assembly until the acts of Con
gress authorizing interference by Federal
authority are repealed.
General Crook has ordered the pursuit of
the escaping Cheyennes. Thirty-two Indi
ans, twenty-two males and ten women and
children, have been killed. Twenty-si
were buried in one common grave. It is be
lieved that about fifty escaped.
The improvement of the Mississippi river
was discussed in Congress yesterday. It i.
proposed that a commission of five persons,
to be appointed by Mr. Hayes, shall hav<
charge of the survey and the plans and
estimates of the improvements. The bill
appropriates £250,000 for salaries, and the
committee wnich reported it has added an
amendment appropriating $2,800,000 for
strengthening the levees. Mr. Reagan, Of
Texas, gave notice of an amendment di
rccting the commissioners to examine into
the practicability of openiug additional out
lets to the’Gulf of Mexico, and Mr. Ellis
of Louisiana, offered as a substitute an
amendment appropriating $4,>-'00,000 for
Improving the navigation of the river and
repairing the levees, the work to be undei
control of tbe Chief Engineer of the army
In the House yesterday the bill reported
from the Committee on Ways and Mean:
to facilitate the refunding of the national
debt, was passed without a division. In tb
Senate Mr. Windoin introduced a resolution
to provide for the appointment of a com
mittee to examine into the subject of the
emigration, under the auspices of the
Federal Government, of colored citizens of
the United States from any State where
they are not permitted to exercise their
rights as such citizens, to any other State
or Territory where they can do so. Laid on
the table for the present.

ville, Pa., is tbe nineteenth Mollie Maguire
who has been executed in that State.
Public opinion in Frauce is not satisfied
over the late appointment of M. Gresley as
Secretary of War. His republicanism is not
denied, but he is not looked upon as suffi
cienlly ultra in his republican views.
He is ranked among the mem
bers of the Constitutional-Orleanis
party, and does not suit the Left, who, it is
said,are determined to have the Ministers and
to remove all but decided Republicans from
office. It is claimed that M. Gresley’sap
pointment means that there will be no re
forms and no changes in the great military
commauds, and the Marshal will retain hi:
hold over the administration which the
Chambers claim for thepiselves. The Lon
don Times regards the situation as very
critical, as an overthrow of the Ministry
would lead to MacMahou’s retirement,
which would profoundly endanger society
throughout France.
Some excitement is reported in Detroit
over a number of cases of infanticide lately
brought to light there. During twenty-four
hours the bodies of five new born infants
were found in various quarters of the town
in ash barrels and barns, and one body wa
found in a snow bank on a principal street.

“ The North American Review/ 1
YYe Lave received the January number
of the above well known magazine, pub
lished in New Y’ork by D. Appleton A
Co., and edited by Mr. Allen Thorndike
Rice.
This number is. as is the custom of the
Reticle, filled with articles from tbe pens
of the best writers and statesmen of the
country', prepared upon subjects of much
interest to the student, general reader and
inquirer into the principles of politi
cai economy. Its table of contents is
as follows: “The Fishery* Award,” by
Senator Edmunds, of Vermont: “Unpub
lished Fragments of the ‘Little’ Period
by Thomas Moore; “Cities as Units
in our Polity,” by William R. Martin
“The Preservation of Forests,” by' Felix
L. Oswald: “The ‘Solid South,’" by
Hon. Henry Watterson; “The Pronun
ciation of the Latin Language,” by W.
W. Story’: “Substance and Shadow* in
Finance,” by' George S. Bout well: “Tbe
Cruise of the Florence,” by Captain YV
W. Howgate; and “Recent Fiction,” by
Richard Grant White.
YVe have not as yet had an oppor
tunity of carefully reading all these sev
era! articles, but are willing to accept
them as being of great interest, and full
of valuable information, because of the
well deserved reputation of the magazine,
and the literary ability and research of its
contributors. We can cordially recom
mend it as unexcelled by any similar pub
lication in the country.
The tendency' of British Arctic ex
plorcrs, in view of their unsuccessful
attempts to reach the North Pole, is to
change the base of operations and make
the attack from a point much farther
east than has hitherto been tried. It was
proposed at the last meeting of the Geo
graphical Society that the next effort to
attain high latitudes be made through
Franz-Joseph land, the region north of
Nova Zembla, discovered five or six
years ago. The suggestion was received
with general approval.
It is said that the Missouri delegation,
comprising Republicans and Democrats,

Those Famous Ciphers.
Hon. Mr. Potter, Chairman of the Pot
ter Investigating Committee, has, it
seems, determined to “take the bovine
by* the horns,” in the matter of those
famous cipher dispatches of which we
have heard so much, and has announced
his intention of introducing a resolution
on Monday next in the House asking for
authority for his committee to go into
their tnorough investigation. Should
the resolution be adopted, the editor of
the New Y’ork Tribune, which has so
long translated these ciphers by its own
peculiar key, and which, for months
past, has been rolling them as a delicious
morsel under its tongue, will be one of
the first witnesses subpoenaed, and we
shall probably be treated to some highly
interesting developments.
YV r e are very glad that this determina
tion has been arrived at by Mr. Potter,
for the proposed investigation must
suit in good to the Democracy, and cor
responding evil to the Radical party'.
With all the fuss and bluster w’hich has
been made over these ciphers, the utmost
the Radicals can hope to accomplish
to prove that certain leading Democrats
have been guilty of the same evil prac
tices as they' have themselves
or, in other words, that these
’eiding Democrats, seeing a great fraud
about to be perpetrated, w T ere only
tempted to fight the devil with fire. The
Radicals have virtually confessed their
own guilt,inasmuch as they have.in effect,
acknowledged that their Southern return
ing boards were for sale, and that they
sold out to Radicals instead of to Demo
crats, who, it is alleged, were unwilling
to accede to tLe high figures demanded
as the price of their decisions in the
Presidential contest of 1870. Admitting,
however, that this charge against the
Democracy be established, this notable
difference between the conduct of the
two parties must be remarked. The
Democrats only resorted to money to in
duce the ltadical returning boarders to
do their duty', and make a righteous
decision, while the Radicals endeavored
successfully, to bribe, by both money
and political position, the members cf
the same returning boards to perjure
themselves and make a false decision un
warranted by law or facts.
YY r e say that this will be the only le
gitimate result of the proposed cipher
dispatch investigation, if we admit that
all the Radicals allege against the De
mocracy be true. Thi3, however, we do
not, by any means, admit. YVe believe
that it will be shown that in this matter
of the ciphers there has been hatched up
a bold conspiracy against the Democratic
party and certain of its leaders; that
it will be shown that many of
these ciphers were l>ogus, and that
many others were translated incorrectly
by means of an assumed key, and i
manner only in accordance with the
plans and wishes of the New Y’ork Tri
bune. Besides all this, certain Radical
ciphers known as the Chandler cipher
dispatches (regarding which the Radical
press has been ominously silent) will be
brought forward to public view, and the
corrupt and treasonable schemes and de
signs of th§ Radical leaders in the great
electoral conspiracy of 187(1 will be
most unpleasantly exposed.
It is evident therefore that like Blaine
with his election outrage investigation
and Edmunds, with his resolution to
protect the voters of the country in their
political rights, the Radical leaders have
been, in this cipher business, playing
with edge tools. It seems that in all
such cases the very best plan for the
Democrats to pursue is to charge vigor
ously upon their opponents, capture
their guns, and turn the same upon
them. In every instance, so far, the
weapons promise to do more damage to
those w'ho use them, than to those
against whom they are proposed to be
used.
The New Y’ork Daily Bulletin com
menced the new year with a considerable
enlargemect of its sheet, and with the
word “Commercial ’ introduced into its
title, expressing thus more fully the
specially commercial and financial char
acter of the journal. In this respect the
Bulletin stands very high. It has been
enlarged seven times in the fourteen
years of its existence, but with regard to
any such possible necessity in the future
the Bulletin takes a sensible view when
it says: “YVe shall, however, endeavor,
by the use of small type and typographi
cal condensation, to obviate the dropsical
appearance which comes from the use of
‘leads’ and large type.”
Considerable favor is given to the laws
already adopted in several States, and
recently proposed in Ohio, giving the
unclaimed bodies of those who die in
public institutions to medical societies,
and, at the same time, making the traffic
in bodies a misdemeanor punishable by
fine and imprisonment. The Washing
ton Star is of the opinion that in those
States where subjects for dissection may
be obtained without the robbery of
graves, and whero such robbery is most
severely punished, “body-snatching” will
least prevail, and that States which are
without laws making such provisions
will need to fall into line in self-defense.
News from Liberia.—The ship Azor
arrived at Charleston on Friday last
from Liberia, and was greeted by a
large crowd of colored men assembled on
the wharf. Letters were distributed from
immigrants who went to Liberia on the
Azor some time since. One of them
read: “Dear brother, I advise you and all
the colored folks to come out. The land
is rich. The water is good. Bring all
kinds of seeds. You will have the fever,
but will get over it. and then it will be
ten times better here. Coons are plenty.
Tdl IZardy Montgomery about the coon
huntin’, ana be sure to come.” The Azor
will sail soon with another load of im
migrants.
The Orange County (Fla.) Reporter,
alluding to the death of the late Mr.
Thomas n. Austin, of this city, pays
him this high tribute: “Many a Flori
dian will regret to hear of the death of
Mr. Thomas. II. Austin, late of the firm
of Austin & E lis, of Savannah: in which
city he died last week. He ocoupifd the
position of Tfpasurer of this State for
several years, and to the day of his death
he maintained a character for stem, in
vincible integrity and Christian upright
ness, equalled by few of our race. YVe
were honored with his friendship and
patronage for many years, and chronicle
his death with unfeigned «adness.”
Conflict Between Federal and
State Courts.—State Judge McConnell
having persisted in trying the cases
against revenue offices in Macon county,
Tennessee, for alleged illegal arrests,
Judge Baxter has ordered him to appear
before the United States Circuitt Court
at Nashville, on February 8th, and show
cause why he should proceed to try these
cases when they have been transferred to
the United States Circuit Court. This
brings to a crisis the conflict of jurisdic
tion between the State and Federal courts
in regard to the revenue cases, and the
result is awaited with great interest in
Tennessee.
More “Testimony** for Blaine.
The Baltimore Sun thinks Senator
Blaine should imitate Senator Thurman
and cull some choice newspaper articles
for the U9e of the Teller committee
which is now in New Orleans on a chase
after “Southern outrages.” Mr. Blaine
should file with the committee a copy* of
number 706 (January 9, 1879.) of the
New Y’ork Ration, containing an article
entitled “Genesis and History of ‘A
tftory.’ ” It appears that the New
Y’ork Tribune's Mr. Z. L. YVhite,
the course of his fine-tooth comb search
of South Carolina for “outrages,
came upon the fact that Rev. Dr. Cooke,
originally of Massachusetts, President of
the Claflin University for colored peo
pie, was hustled by some young roughs
in 187C, and in 1878 voted for Hampton.
This, Mr. Z. L. YV. insisted, was because
the doctor was “bulldozed" in 1876. The
doctor denies the aspersion in a very em
phatic card to the Tribune, in which he
says he cannot conceive how a para
graph of the same length could possibly be
written “containing more misstatements
and false coloring.” He adds that
he was not bulldozed; that he be
lieves in home government everywhere
that there was no opposing candidate to
Hampton, and that, “after watching his
course carefully for two years, I full}'
believe he is a true friend of the colored
man, and is doing vastly more for his
elevation in this commonwealth than any
Northern man could do under bayonet
rule. I need only point to the improved
common schools and increased facilities
for his intellectual training in proof of
this assertion.” Neither the Tribune nor
Z. L. YV., however, are satisfied with
this. They repeat that Dr. Cooke w*as
bulldozed, and produce evidence to
prove it against the man’s own state
ment. Thereupon the Ration retorts
with a sarcasm amply deserved :
“YY’e again repeat that this exposure
does not prove that there was no violence
or fraud at the late election in South
Carolina, but it does illustrate the reck
lessness and unscrupulousness with
which Southern troubles are distorted
colored and exaggerated to make party
capital at the North. It is a miserable
business, and the Tribune ought to be
ashamed of it and drop it. The conten
tion with l)r. Cooke as to whether the
hustling he got from some rowdies in
1876 did not make him change his vote
two years later is as comic as anything
in recent political literature. What
caused the correspondent to take the
trouble to prepare “the story” uudoubt
edly was the firm pos,session of his mind
by the theory, which lay at the bottom
of Mr. Blaine's speech in the Senate
that not only every negro, but every
white man engaged in the instruction of
negro youth, must, in the absence of
duress, desire to vote the Republican
ticket even in South Carolina; and that
when he says he doe9 not desire to vote
it he is not to be believed even on oath
and his person ought to be examined for
welts and bruises.”
Care of Federal Prisoners.—A
Deputy of the United States District At
torney’s office in New Y’ork, who has
made a thorough examination of the
care and maintenance of Federal prison
er9 by the State authorities, reports that
he finds that in Kings county and Albany
penitentiary and Ludlow street jail the
government is paying about five times
the real cost of maintaining such prison
ers. He points to the incongruity of
prisoner, as soon as he is sentenced by
the Federal authorities, being taking out
of their hands and punished by the State
for offenses for which there is no
penalty under the State laws, and re
commends that the government construct
a prison upon Federal property at a cost
of about $500,000, in which shall be
confined all United Suites prisoners con
victed in the Atlantic States. Such a
prison, he estimates, can be supported
for $60,000 a year, and will soon prove
self-supporting from the labor of con
vict9. In this way he thinks the govern
ment will save at least $150,000 a year.
Radical Manoeuvring in Washing
ton.—A YVashington special says
“Notwithstanding that Mr. Hayes has
twice solemnly declared that he would
not be a candidate for re-election, it is a
fact that certain politicians from the
South and the North have gone to the
YVhite House and assured him that if
certain things were done delegations to
the next Republican Convention could be
worked up in his interest. The same
statements have been made to Secretary
Sherman as to himself. A short time
ago a paper was drawn up for presenta
tion to Secretary Sherman by a number
of politicians in a Southern State, in
which it was alleged that all the Federal
officeholders in the State are hard at
work for Grant, and that if he (Sher
man) would have them turned out, and
put in persons to be named, a unanimous
delegation from that State to the Re
publican National Convention could be
secured in his interest.”
Pork Packing.—It is now estimated
by careful calculation that the aggregate
number of hogs that will be slaughtered
the present winter will foot up 7,006,000
head against 6,505,000 for last year. The
animals are lighter, however, by about
ten pounds average.which would make a
reduction of 250,000 head, making the
increase this season about 300,000 hogs of
the same weight as last year. The lard
ing quality of the hogs is said to be
different also.
The packing to date of the six chief
cities is as follows:
November 1 to January 1— 1878-9.
Cincinnati 4110,000
Chicago 1,795,000
St Lpijis 4-10,0 0
Indianapolis 335.000
Milwaukee 205,000
Louisville 190,oOO
1877-78.
400,000
1,200,000
280,000
14\000
105,000
240,000
Total, six cities 3,545,000 2,490,000
Interior p'ts approximately. .1,400,000 925.00J
Total, all points 4,945,000 3,415,000
General Sherman thinks the corpora
tion of Cork, Ireland, shows disrespect
to Grant in not tendering to him a ban
quet and the freedom of the city. Did
it ever occur to General Sherman, asks
the Hartford Times, • that the way Grant
is pushed upon the cities of Europe, with
the published declaration that they in
sult him if they do not bestow lavish
honors upon him and get up banquets
for his entertainment, is neither respect
ful nor wise? But the Grant rings have
lost none of their cheek. This business
of strutting all over Europe for two or
three years, for the purpose of getting
notoriety and making capital for 1880,
has gone about as far as good taste will
warrant.
In North Carolina during 1878 there
were eight executions for murder. In
the great State of New York there were
but three. Every one knows how ram
pant is crime in that.State. The Wil
mington Mar thinks the failure to hang
more villains shows a defect in the pxer
cution of law. In the United States
there were one thousand two hundred
and.eighty-«ight murders and homicides
and but ninety two hangings.

TIIE FRENCH SITUATION.
London, January 16.—The Standard's
Paris correspondent says: “All persons
acquainted with the relations between Presi
dent MacMahon and General Gresley are
aware that the appointment is equiva
lent to a refusal to allow the
Chambers to have proper constitu
tional control over the War office. As
long as General Gresley is iu office there
will be no reforms and no changes in the
great military commands. The Marshal re
tains his hold over the administration of the
army, which the Chambers claim for them
selves. and which they are determined to
have.”
The Paris correspondent of the Times re
gards the situation as very critical. “The
overthrow of the Cabinet,” he says, “would
lead to Mac Mahon’s retirement, and a gov
ernment by the extreme Left with a revolu
tionary programme,which would profoundly
ilerauge society throughout France.”

A Specimen of American Resources.
—Mr. Dums Carter, who has been
on a visit to Louisiana, has brought
to the Baltimore Sun office
specimen of rock salt of remarks
ble purity, procured in that State
The deposit is one that has been fre
quently alluded to in the papers, and
was largely drawn upon for use in the
Southern Confederacy during the civil
war. The block shown at the Sun
office, and intended for presentation in
the Maryland Academy of Sciences, is
of pure white crystals, with white ex
foliations. The salt mine in ques
tion from which it was taken
is on the island of Petit Anse,
tract of 2,000 acres, near the Gulf of
Mexico, and rising out of a salt marsh to
a height of 170 feet The shallowness
of the approach to the island requires
the construction of a causeway to deep
water before this remarkable salt mine,
w’hich has been opened into the pure salt
rock to a depth of 60 feet,can be economi
cally worked. The quantity of under
lying salt is estimated as at least 15,000,
000 tons. This is, how*ever, but guess
work, but the quality of the salt is shown
by analysis to be 99 66-100 of purity, the
best Liverpool salt testing but about 98
per cent. pure.
New Rules.—The United States Su
preme Court on Monday adopted rules
for the regulation of practice in Courts
of Equity and of this court, as follows:
“YY’hen an appeal from a final decree
in an equity suit granting or dissolving
an injunction is allowed by a Justice or
Judge who took part in the decision of
the cause, he may, in his discretion, at
the time of such allowance, make au or
der suspending or modifying the injunc-
tipn during the pendency of the appeal,
upon such terms as to bond or otherwise,
as he may consider proper, for the secu
rity of the rights of the opposite party. ”
“Iu case where appeals of ihe charter in
rule 93 regulating equity practice have
already been taken this court will, after
the cause has been docketed, entertain an
application for a suspension or moditica
tion of tbe injunction based upon a state
ment of tbe facts affecting the applica
tion by a Justice or Judge who took part
in the decision. All such applications
must be printed and submitted on briefs.
No oral arguments will be beard unless
especially ordered.”
Grant’s Tour in India.—The New*
Y’ork Herald of Tuesday has a cable dis
patch which announces that Gen. Grant
has determined not to w’ait for the United
States steamship Richmond, in which to
make his India tour at the expense of
the government, and that he w*ill leave
Paris on Saturday for Marseilles, to sail
thence for India on the following Thurs
day (23d) in the regular French steamer
leaving on that date.
It will be time enough to credit this
report when we learn that the French
steamer has sailed from Marseilles with
the names of Gen. Grant, his son Fred,
Old Borie, and the rest of Grant’s party,
on her passenger list.
A. G. Pearce, a colored man, wiien
recently a candidate for the office of
Chancery Clerk of YVashington county,
Miss., rendered vacant by the death of
the incumbent, also a negro, issued an
address to the voters, which is of inter
est, seeing that he has always been the
acknowledged leader of the Republi
cans in that county, which is in Mr.
Chalmers’ Congressional district. In
that document he says :
I have always been a Conservative in
politics, and it is that class of men I
shall support for public position. YVhen
the Republican party disbanded, we re
solved to co-operate with the Democrat
ic party in measures and policies w’hich
looked to the general good of the com
munity.
On the 15th day of September, 1877,

Greenville adopted the following reso
lution:
Besot red, That we adopt the platform,
xcept the last resolution, adopted by the
Democratic State Convention on the 1st
of August, 187?, as embodying our po
litical views, and that w*e will join, heart
and hand, with the party adopting the
same to carry out those principles.
This same convention ratified thenom
inations made by the County Democratic
Convention on the 16th of July. It seen*s
to me that this made every member of
that convention a Conservative Demo
crat. It has been, it is, and shall be my
strenuous effort to unite the white and
colored people in bonds of political
friendship upon terms of fair dealing and
fair representation of both classes in the
government. And in accordance with
these principles, I am heartily in accoi d
with the Democratic party of the State
and county.
Gunnison again Gunning for Ei.i
Perkins.—Mr. E. Norman Gunnison, of
Y’ork, Pa., has written a letter to Mr.
YV’ade Hampton, Jr., of South Carolina,
iu which he reiterates his denial of the
statement, put forth by Eli Perkins, that
Gunnison claimed in his presence to
have seen Gen. YVade Hampton fire the
shot which killed Col. Cameron, brother
of ex-Senator Simon Cameron, at the
first battle of Manassas, Mr. Gunnison
extends to Mr. Hampton, Jr., the com
pliments of tbe season, congratulates him
on the improved condition of Governor
Hampton’s health, and concludes by ex
pressing the belief that Eli Perkins does
not bear a very enviable reputation
among newspaper men for tbe correct
ness of his reports.
Secretary Sherman has in the press a
volume containing his principal speeches
on the currency since his entrance to the
Senate in 1861. This is a pretty fair in
dication, says the Baltimore Bulletin,
that Sherman is in training for the Presi
dential race. If he proposes to make capi
tal with the money power by the publica
tion of his financial record, he would do
well to suppress a good deal of it. There
was a time when his financial views
squinted as strongly towards soft money
as they do at present towards hard, and
the publication of his speeches in full
might destroy his reputation as the
special champion of honesty in finance—
on which it is understood he has already
begun to erect the superstructure of his
political hopes.
Although Senator Sharon, of Nevada,
has held his office nearly four years and
drawn almost $30,000 for pay and mile
age, he has been so little indiis seat that
some of his colleagues had never seen
him until his reeent arrival at Washing-
ton, and very few of them had made his
acquaintance. He is fifty-eight years
old, and is described as short and thin
light complexioned, unprepossessing in
figure, and weighing scarcely more than
one hundred pounds. YVhat there is of
him is intensely Radical.

BURNETT’S
It is said, so says the New York Post,
that Mr. Hayes is thinking of
giving General Longstreet, the ex-Con
federate, the position of Marshal of
Georgia in place of Fitzsimons, whom
Senator Gordon recommended for the
place.
Judge Hilton is still prosecuting his
search for the ipissing remains of A. T.
Stewart, while the public has almost
forgotten the fact that the millionaire's
bones were stolen only a few weeks ago.
It was intended by Grant’s trainers
that he should return to this country at
the close of 1878. But they finally con
cluded to keep him running about an
other year. It costs them a good deal
of money, but if they can secure his
election to the Presidency they know
bow to get it all back, and vast sums
besides.
Fight Between Geese and an
Eagle.—An eagle, measuring eighty-
four inches from tip to tip of wings,
swooped down upon a flock of geese on
the farm of Samuel McCune, near Zanes
ville, O., on Monday, and a terrible com
bat ensued for twenty minutes. Feathers
flew in all directions, the geese standing
up heroically to the work. The eagle
succeeded in killing one and wounding
several others, but was itself captured
by a farmer in a condition of sore dis
tress. Its naked talons measured two
and one-half inches.—Cincinnati Cum
mercial.
Love and Suicide.—Sunday morning
last Walter W. Pegg, telegraph operator
at the depot of the Atlanta and Charlotte
Air Line ltailway, at Greenville, S. C.
was found lying dead on the ground
about a quarter of a mile from the depot
and near the river, which runs through
the town. The young man had had a
love affair, the issue of which had been
unfavorable, and of late he had become
somewhat intemperate, and had several
times threatened to take his life. Near
the body, which lay on its face, was
found a half empty bottle of morphine,
and tbe theory, from the locality in
which the body was found, is that Pegg,
after taking the morphine, had started to
the river for the purpose of throwing
himself into the stream, but tecame
overpowered by the drug and sank on
the way. When last seen, Saturday
night, the young man was under the in
fluenceof liquor, and the body, when
found, gave evidence of having been
lifeless for six or eight hours. The
suicide left no letter of explanation, but
this is found in his previously declared
purpose, and the reason which he as
signed for harboring this design.
Dietrich’s jewelry store, at Indian
apolis, was robbed of twenty-four gold
watches, valued at $1,500, Tuesday after
noon. Two of the robbers engaged the
proprietor in conversation while the third
stole the watches.
