TAPPING THE WIRES.
The consular and diplomatic appropria
tion bill passed the Senate yesterday, and
now goes to Mr. Hayes for his signature.
The total amount appropriated by the bill
as passed is $1,087,835, or $10,200 more than
the bill for the present fiscal year.
Immediately upon the assembling of the
Potter Committee yesterday Butler rose to
a personal explanation. He denied that he
ever had in his possession the ciphers which
appeared in the Tribune. Afterwards he
handed over to the committee one hundred
and seventy cipher dispatches which will be
lithographed for the use of the committee.
It was denied that Mr. Tilden was to be called
before the committee and have counsel. At
the request of Sherman,S. U. St. Martin was
recalled, and testified that all the evidence
he gave before the New Orleans sub-com
mittee was false, and he received four
hundred and fifty dollars for it. His ex
amination will be resumed to-morrow.
The Canadian vice regal party visited
Niagara Falls Wednesday, and Her Royal
Highness, the Princess Louise, then set foot
upon American soil for the first time.
Later news states that of the escaped
Cheyennes twenty-three were killed, nine
all wounded or captured, and the remainder
(seventeen) were unaccounted for.
Intense cold weather prevails in Great
Britain and much suffering and destitution
exists. A dispatch from Antwerp states
that the Elbe is blocked with ice.
The Captain of a ship recently arrived at
Queenstown reports that on the lGth instant,
when fifty miles we6t of Fastnet, he saw a
steamer, with about one hundred and fifty
or two hundred men, apparently English,
aboard, alongside of a burning wreck. He
was ordered to continue on His course and
say nothing of the affair on penalty of be
ing also burned.
Governor McCreary’s militia has succeed

derer of Judge Barnett, in Breathitt county,
Kentucky.
The older Bulgarian leaders prefer as their
Governor Prince Henri Keuss, formerly Ger

younger members prefer Prince Alexander,
of Battenberg.
In the libel suit of Colonel Keitt, of South
Carolina, against the New York Time*,coun
sel for the defendant stated yesterday that
the article in question referred to one
Thomas Keitt, who was also known as
Colonel Keitt.
It is believed that several further con
ferences will be necessary before a definitive
treaty between Russia aud Turkey can be
signed. Russian wording makes it of su
perior authority ,to the treaty of Berlin,
thus placing Turkey under the direct in
fluence of Russia.
Representative Finley, of Ohio, has sub
mitted to the House Committee on Public-
Expenditures his report with reference to
the investigation of the Government Print
ing Office. He charges general extrava
gance in the management of the printing
department, and recommends the entire
abolishment of the office, and that the print
ing be let out by contract. Only the Con
gressional records and the bills offered in
Congress are recommended io be printed in
Washington.
Emeline B. Wells and Zina Young Wil
liams, a daughter of the late B. Young, of
Utah, have presented petitions to the

The Vatican will shortly take steps to re
establish relations with Mexico.
The Spanish Vice Consul at Punta Plata,
San Domingo, has been dismissed for giv
ing up two insurgent officers who had taken
refuge on a Spanish steamer, and were
afterward shot. Spain has also demanded
satisfaction from San Domingo for violating
the protection of her flag.
The New York Evening Post does not
admire General John A. Logan, the new
Senator from Illinois. It says that it is
possible that in the length and breadth
of that State, a man less fit for Senator
might be found, but not probable, and
declares his ignorance to be both pre
sumptuous and aggressive. In Lis selec
tion the Post thinks the low and dis
creditable arts of a vicious politician have
been successful, and that the unfitness
of the politician who employed them is
simply scandalous. And Senator Conk-
ling, of New York, who is to be his own
successor, the Post thinks is but little
better in “the worst activities of poli
tics.” Both these Senators and their
critic belong to the Radical persuasion.
A bill, which aims to prevent railroad
managers from wasting the property in
trusted to them by competition, has
been introduced in the Ohio Senate. It
fixes one cent per ton q-cr mile as the
minimum rats which a railroad may
charge for the transportation of freight,
and prescribes severe penalties for any
infringements of the law, either directly
or indirectly. The other evil, or com
binations to impose excessive rates, is
met by the provision of a maximum
rate of five cents per ton per mile
where the distance is over thirty miles.
But it is not likely’ that the bill, even if
passed, will ever have any practical
effect.
A Specimen “Northern Doughface.
The term “doughface” is one which
Radicals are fond of applying as a stigma
of contempt to those gentlemen of the
North, who, being opposed to sectional
ism, fraud and corruption generally
and in favor of a government of the
Constitution, which will protect the peo
ple of all sections in their civil and po
litical rights, are the enemies of Radical
ism. Therefore the term, meant by the
proscription^? to convey disdain, has
heretofore l>een the badge of honor. It
seems, however, that there is a class of
Democrats in the North (thank fortune
they are very few) who well merit the
appellation—Democrats, so called, who
are afraid to claim their souls as their
own, and hesitate to do simple justice
for fear of Radical billingsgate.
To this class evidently belongs Mr.
Edward S. Bragg, who writes himself
down in Congress, Democrat from Wis
consin. He is a doughface, who is so
terribly frightened at the bare men
tion of the Radical Southern claims
bugaboo, that he not only saw fit
on Thursday last to oppose a claim
of one Maggie Barron, who resides
somewhere in the South, for supplies
furnished the Union army during the
war, but, iu his anxiety' lest he bring
down upon his devoted head the ire of
his Radical neighbors, put himself out
of the way to insult the Southern De
mocracy by intimating that the South
was Democratic only for the purpose of
drawing money out of the treasury, and
declaring in a most spiteful manner,
that he would be glad if Southern
Democrats would affiliate with the Radi
cal party.
Such doughfaces as these, it is clear,
do not appreciate—if indeed they are
capable of appreciating—the political
position of the South. Surro tnded as
they are by Radical influences, and
frightened out of their wits lest by ap
parently espousing the cause of the
South they may lose a few votes, they
do not understand that the South is
Democratic from principle alone, and
because the Democratic is the only party
in all the land which respects the United
States Constitution and guarantees politi
cal liberty’ to every man of every section.
Accustomed, for years past, to see a set
of ringsters and peculators in their
midst regard the public treasury only as
an object of private plunder, (but who
are ready to raise a terrible outcry if a
Southern ‘ ‘loyal” woman claims compen
sation for supplies furnished the Fed
eral array during the var) no wonder
that they’ arc unable to understand the
meaning of the word “principle,” and are
capable of gratuitously insulting, for
political effect, an entire section of the
country’. It is very fortunate for the
country that the Northern Democracy
numbers so very-few men of this char
acter among its members.
We have very little sympathy for that
class of people styled “Southern loyal
ists.” As Mr. Ellis, of Louisiana, very
properly stated, in reply to this same
Bragg, what such as he called loyalty
the South regarded as contemptible trea
son, and, therefore, when the so called
friends of these so-called loy’alists turn
against them they cannot expect repre
sentatives from this section to espouse
their cause with great warmth. It
is natural, however, that wc should
feel grateful to them when, as
this instance, they became unwittingly
instruments to show the South and the
true Democracy who are their real
friends, and to expose these wolves in
sheep’s clothing who, though Radical at
heart, assume the garb of Democracy for
their own selfish and ambitious purposes.
If the Northern Democracy’, as a party,
was composed of such men as these,
then, as far as protection of her rights is
concerned, the South might indeed as
well affiliate with Radicalism.
Commenting on Beast Butlers present
political status iu Congress, the Phila
delphia American says he now occupies
the commanding position of the mule
that Mark Twain wrote about. The
mule bore a howitzer on his back, but
when the time came to discharge the
dangerous weapon the mule insisted
upon describing circles with such rapidity
that he swept the whole horizon half a
dozen times in a minute. Gen. Butler is
charged to the muzzle with cipher dis
patches, and no one dares to touch him
off. for it is impossible to tell in which
direction the load will go.
A sudden spread of the plague in the
Orient has alarmed the rulers of the con
tinent of Europe, and already the Gov
ernments of Germany and Austria have
gent commissioners east to examine and
report upon the apparently westward
moving pestilence, with instructions to
suggest proper checks and preventives.
This is taking time by the forelock, but
not a moment too soon if the accounts
of the spread of the scourge are to be
relied on.
Proposed New Law to Punish Biga
mists.
Senator Christiancy on Tuesday’ pre
sented to the Senate a bill providing that
every person who has a husband or wife
riving, who marries another, whether
married or single, and any man who
hereafter simultaneously or on the same
day marries more than one woman shall
be guilty of bigamy’, and be punished by
a fine of not more than five hundred dol
lars, and by imprisonment for a term of
not more than five years; but this section
shall not extend to any person by reason
of any former marriage whose husband
or wife by such marriage is absent for
five successive years, and is not known
to such person to be living, nor to any
person by’ reason of any former mar
riage 'which has been dissolved by a
decree of a competent court, nor to
any person by reason of former mar
riage which has been pronounced
void. The foregoing provisions are not
to affect prosecution or punishment of
any offense already committed against
the prasent law. The President is au
thorized to grant amnesty to such classes
of offenders against the anti polygamy
law, and on such conditions and under
such liihitations as lie shall think proper,
but no such amnesty shall have effect un
less the conditions thereof shall have
been complied with. The issue of plural
marriages known as Mormon marriages
in cases in which such marriages have
been solemnized according to the rights
of the Mormon sect in any Territory of
the United Stales, and if such issue shall
have been born before the first day of
November, 1879, are legitimated, and
shall be entitled to all the rights of heirs
and next to kin of their parents.
An Extra Session of Congress Not
Probable.
The New York Sun's Washington dis
patch says the stfiry about an extra ses
sion of Congress being desired by the
Democrats, and their intention to force
one, has again been set afloat. There is
not the slightest probability of an extra
session. The Democratic Senators would
undoubtedly like to organize that body
right after the 4th of March, and parcel
out the offices among their friends,
but they will not risk anything
to reach a consummation so de
sirable. If there was a decent pretext
upon which to defeat one or two
appropriation bills, an extra session
might be forced, but the Republicans are
too smart to be caught in this trap. The
House bills are based on the appropria
tions of lart year and the estimates of
the departments, and the Republican
Senators know that if they load them up
with useless extravagances, the House
will stand up against them, and seize
this opportunity to force an extra ses
sion. There will be no foolishness of
this kind on the part of the Republicans.
Peace and Unity Restored in the
Democratic Wigwam.
A Washington letter to the Philadel
phia Ledger (Rep.) says: “The ‘true
story' of the recent phenomenal fra
ternization of anti-Tammany Mayor
Cooper and ‘Boss’ Kelly is just begin
ning to leak out. It is a long yarn, but
may be told in a few words. At the
Democratic caucus, held at Albany, just
before the meeting of the Legislature,
the members from the rural districts
spoke with great plainness upon the
never-ending squabbles of the city Demo
cracy, which were demoralizing if not
disrupting the whole party. If the feud
between Tammany and anti-Tammany
is to be kept up, in order to gratify the
revenges of this or that ward politician,
the State, it was contended, might as
well be surrendered to the Republicans
in perpetuity, and the next Presidential
election lie permitted to go bj’ default.
At least a dozen members spoke in this
strain. The effect upon the city delega
tion is represented to have been
very marked, and the result of it all was
that some of them went to work to see
what could be done to bring the factions
together with a view to the restoration of
the entente cordiale. Mr. Cooper was
waited upon and so was Sir. Kelly, and
the Lotos love-feast w as the consequence.
Further reunions are spoken of, and,
as an earnest of his sincerity in promo
ting union and harmony. Sir. Kelly, I
hear, has avowed his readiness to with
draw as a candidate for re-election at
the approaching meeting to choose Sa
chems for the ensuing year. Whether
the anti-Tammanyites will insist upon
this as an indispensable condition of
peace, remains to be seen. The fact that
the sacrifice has been voluntarily offered
is a piece of condescension on the part
of the Tammany chief w’hich would
have been out of the question a year ago.
The Slayor is quite delighted at the turn
things are taking, and in token of his
readiness to reciprocate the friendly feel
ing on the other side, he has promised to
appoint to office several well known
friends of the Comptroller.
The greater part of the property of
the Roman Catholic Church in and near
Cincinnati will be turned over to a board
of trustees, to be managed in the interest
of the creditors of Archbishop Purcell.
The property consists of St. Peters
Cathedral, St. Joseph’s Seminary, the
orphan asylum at Cumininsville, the
Considine property on Price’s Hill, the
Cathedral school house, corner of Eliza
beth and Mound streets, the old St.
John’s Hospital, corner of Third and
Plum streets, together with a large
amount of personal securities, notes,
mortgages, accounts, etc. A thorough
examination discloses the fact that the
liabilities of the Arehepiscopal Savings
Bank are about five hundred thousand
dollars. The property turned over to
secure the debt is worth at least one
million dollars, but if it should prove in
adequate, ever}’ building and piece of
ground in Cincinnati owned by the
church will be placed in the hands of
the trustees. They have determined to
issue bonds to the amount of the indebt
edness, payable at any time after three
years and within twenty, and bearing 5
per centum interest.
Local Debts at the East
In the flush times just after the war,
while the South was being plundered by
Radical carpet baggers, the spirit of
reckless extravagance exhibited itself in
some of the Eastern States in the crea
tion of excessive debts by towns and
cities for local improvements—improved
streets, beautiful parks, water works
and costly public buildings; and these
municipal debts, bearing what is now
an exoibitant rate of interest, are weigh
ing heavily upon the communities that
contracted them. It is stated, says the
3t. Louis Republican, that the aggregated
municipal indebtedness of New Jersey
is $50.000,000—and this, although there
are no large cities in the State with
metropolitan necessities to warrant ex
travagant public works. The total is
equal to 10 per cent, on the assessed
value of the property of the State, and
represents $40 for every man, woman
and child in the State. The interest
alone at 7 per cent, is an annual charge
of $3,500,000, requiring a tax of 7
cents on the $100 to meet it. In Hud
son county the local indebtedness
of all kinds is $15,000,000, or 16
per cent, of the taxable property; in Es
sex county it is $15,000,000, or 14 per
cent.; in Union county, it is $9,000,000
or 30 per cent.; Jersey City, which lies
opposite New York, and must, therefore,
put on metropolitan airs, has a debt of
$13,000,000: Newark has $10,000,000
Elizabeth has $6,000,000; Paterson has
$1,300,000; Rahway has $1,800,000; and
other towns have proportionate obhga
tions. In many towns less than two thirds
the annual taxes are collected, and th
debt grows with the annual deficit, which
is carried as a floating debt for a few
years and then funded. The State debt
of New Jersey is only $2,000,000
In New Yorl$, while the State debt
only $8,000,000, “most of the cities,
counties and towns,” says Governor Rob
inson, “are struggling under a load of
debt, large expanses and heavy taxation.
Many towns almost buried themselves
with bonds issued for railroads which
have neyer been built, and covered their
farms with mortgages, for which they
received no consideration.”

The Alabama Claims.—On Saturday
last, by votes of 112 to 78 and 113 to 93,
the House substituted the minority re
port of the Judiciary Committee for the
further distribution of the Geneva award
in place of the majority hill, and passed
it The Court of Claims was anxious to
have the adjudication of the remainder
of the awards transferred thither, and
the sentiment of the House at one
time was believed to be it favor of
it, but the bill as passed re-establishes
the old Court of Alabama Claims,
restores the old class of claims which it
did not dispose of, allows additional in
terest on judgments rendered, and per
mits claims for the payment of premiums
for war risks, provided that only the
actual loss is ascertained. The minority
of the House committee took the ground
throughout that the fund in question is
an indemnity fund, that it was awarded
to the United States as a nation, that no
person or corporation has a legal or
equitable right to it, hut that it is a fund
for actual sufferers by the conduct of
Great Britain.
State Claims Against the General
Government.
There is a general complaint among
the States who are creditors of the gov
eminent for advances made during the
war that there appears to he no disposi
tion to pay up. Kentucky has a little
bill for several hundred thousand dollars
on this account, which, if paid, says the
Cmirier-Joumal, would be of great ser
vice for the promotion of the efficiency
of the militia of the State. Pennsylva
nia is looking after her bill, and the
Philadelphia North American depicts the
situation in no overdrawn manner with
regard to all the creditor States when it
says:
“It is hardly creditable to Congress
that a sovereign State should be a peti
tioner, year after year, for the payment
of a just debt due by the natiou, and yet
such has been the case for a generation.
Yesterday the petition of the Auditor
General of Pennsylvania w:is presented
in the House, praying for the payment
of money due this State. Many other
States are creditors of the United States
for money advanced during the war and
before that. If the repudiation were
general the matter would not he so im
poriant: hut some of the States have been
paid. Thrifty Massachusetts employed
an agent to lobby her claim through. UDd
it was paid. Other States, with Chief
Magistrates and Legislatures not so wise
iu their generation, are still begging at
the door for what ou^ht to have been
paid them long ago. The government
owes the State of Virginia—which ha:
not paid the interest on her own indebt
edness—more than a million, and does
not seem at all inclined to discharge the
debt. As long as the government can
borrow at four percent., while the States
are paying five and some of them are iu
default, it is very poor economy not to
settle all these claims.”
A Georgia Rari Avis.—A Washing
ton special to the New York Tribune
says:
‘Senator Gordon received a long argu
mentative letter to-day from one of the
most prominent Democrats of Georgia,
insisting that the only salvation for the
Democracy in the next campaign is to
nominate President Hayes for a second
term. The co-operation of the Senator
in the measure was asked for. He was
answered that the Senator is in favor of
nominating a straightout Democrat in
1880, and cannot consider the plan in
question.”
There will be much curiosity in Geor
gia to know who this “most prominent
Democrat” is who has made the wonder
ful discovery that the salvation of the
Democratic party depends upon the
nomination of Rutherford B. Hayes as
its candidate for President in 1880. The
hare suggestion of such recreancy to
principle is an insult to the Democracy
of Georgia.
Pinchback at last has his reward. Sec
retary Sherman has availed himself of
the aptitudes of Pinch to make him a
special agent for the Treasury Depart
ment There is probably, says the Phila
delphia Rerord, a thorough understand
ing between principal and agent.
The Boston Poet can see no objection
to Secretary Evarts’ aspirations for the
Presidency, except that, if elected, he
would hardly get through with his in
augural address before it would be time
for the 1884 election.
The Monument for Jefferson.—At
the last session of Congress an appro
priation of $5,000 was made to place a
monument over Thomas Jefferson’s
grave at Monticello, Ya. The appropria
tion was made upon the contingency
that the owners of the estate where Jef
ferson is buried should give a quit claim
to the United States of all right of pro
perty for a space of two rods square of
land, including the grave, and to give
the public free right of access thereto.
The Department of Justice is now in
communication with the owners of the
property, and the preliminaries to the
construction of the monument will be
settled without difficulty. The construc
tion of the monument will he begun
next spring.
Olive, the Nebraska murderer, who
took a leading part in burning two citi
zens to death, is perhaps the wealthiest
man ever arrested in the United States
for deliberate homicide. The Olives
own over 70.000 head of cattle and vast
tracts of land. Olive appears to have
considered himself above the law, and
tortured his victims to death with as
much recklessness as he might have
shown in destroying a wild cat. He is
spending money unstintedly with
view of evading justice, and the Sheriff
of Kearney county, where the crime
was committed, is said to be entirely sub.
servient to the murderer. The ori
gin of the trouble was a quar
rel between the occupants of neigh
boring ranches. A fight ensued, in
which Mitchell and Ketchum killed
Olive. A Sheriff arrested the two homi
eides in an adjoining county, but their
conviction of any crime was improbable,
as they had acted in self-defense. Olive’s
brother offered $1,000 reward for the re
turn of the prisoners to the county in
which they lived, and the Sheriff accept
cd the offer. Olive’s object was to get
them in his power. He and the Sheriff,
with the victims securely bound, started
ostensibly for a place called Plum creek.
A can of coal oil was taken along. On
the following day the charred bodies of
Mitchell and Ketchum were found where
they had been tied to stakes and tor
tured. The oil had been smeared over
them and then ignited.
Governor Hampton had a visit the
other day from General Kirby Smith,
who was wounded at Manassas as was
Hamilton also. Both were taken to the
same house. “The surgeons,” says the
Charleston Newt, “first approached Gen.
Hampton for the purpose of dressing his
wound, but though himself suffering
great pain, he waived them aside, and,
with characteristic generosity and
thoughtfulness, directed them to care
first for his brother officer, who, he said,
most needed their attention. The order
was obeyed, and General Hampton wait
ed patiently and uncomplainingly until
his friend had been first fully cared for.”
It is now stated that Messrs. Sherman,
Garfield and Foster have agreed upon an
apportionment of Ohio’s offices and in
fluence. Garfield is to be nominated for
Governor and Foster for Lieutenant
Governor. Then, if elected, and a Re
publican Legislature is also chosen,
Garfield is to he elected to the United
States Senate, thus leaving Foster Gov
ernor. Sherman is to be Ohio’s candi
date for the Republican Presidential
nomination.
The Treat? of Washington.—In
the executive session of the Senate on
Monday Mr. Edmunds delivered an
elaborate speech in advocacy of a resolu
tion submitted by him, which provides
for terminating so much of the treaty of
Washington as relates to the fisheries by
giving the notice required by its pro
visions. By the terms of the treaty,
ratified June, 1871, the fisheries provis
ions are t® continue in force for the
period of ten years from the date at
which the laws were passed to put them
into operation, and further until the ex
piration of two years after either of the
high contracting parties shall have given
notice to the other of its wish to termi
nate them. Senator Edmunds' resolu
tion was, on his motion, referred to the
Foreign Relations Committee. Accord
ing to present appearances it will he
adopted by the Senate without opposi
tion, and President Hayes will promptly
thereafter give the required notice to the
government of Great Britain.
Lord Derby, in a recent speech at
Rochdale, intimated that the English
people were packed too close in England,
and that emigration was the safety-valve
which would in good time relieve the
distresses occasioned by redundant
population. The Welsh miners agree in
opinion with his lordship. They have
given a very practical demonstration of
the thoroughness of their belief that, at
least, there are too many miners in Great
Britain, by offering thirty-five dollars to
every member of the Miners’ Union who
will go to America, and seventy dollars
to every one who will betake himself to
Australia. This action betokens a
thorough understanding of the trouble
that has overtaken the industrial inter
ests of England. There are more men
to work than there is work to do. The
remedy lies between a choice of evils;
either to accept lower wages for the
whole, or to send part out of the coun
try.

to next Wednesday night.
FURTHER PROCEEDINGS OF THE POTTER COM
MITTEE.
Washington, January 23.—In the Potter
Committee to-day, Butler again denied that
he had anything to do with the publication
of the cipher dispatches in the Tribune.
Bebina Moses, clerk to the Secretary of
the Senate, testified that he saw the bur
lesque certificate from Louisiana, called the
“Smith certificate,” but did not know what
became of it.
A secret session was then held, and one
hundred and seventy cipher dispatches
were handed over by Butler to the com
mittee, which are to be lithographed for the
committee’s exclusive use. It was desired
that Mr. Tilden should be called and
allowed to have counsel. S. H. St. Martin
was recalled at the request of Secretary
Sherman, and elated that nearly the whole
of his evidence before the sub-committee at
New Orleans was false. He received four
hundred and fifty dollars for testifying,
afterwards returning the money to Gibson
and Maddox. He never intended to make
a charge against Steuger, a member of the
committee, but agaiust Maddox. He never
received instructions from Stenger to fix up

REFORM IN TAXATION IN GERMANY IMPOS-
SIBLE.
Berlin, January 23.—In Tuesday’s sitting
of the Russian Budget Committee, the Min
ister of Finance declared in his own name,
though not on behalf of the Ministry of
State, that until a new source of revenue
from indirect taxation was created in Ger
many, and untii it was ascertained what
portion of the surplus could be transferred
to individual States, it would be useless to
discuss the question of income and class
taxes, as any reform of the present systen
of taxation would be impossible.
THE TURKO—RUSSIAN TREATY,
Constantinople, January 23.—Savfet
Pasha, the new Ambassador to Paris, has
started for his poet. It is believed that
several further conferences will be neces
sary before a definitive treaty between
Russia and Turkey can be signed. Rus
sian wording makes it of superior au
thority to the treaty of Berlin, thus placing
Turkey under the direct influence of Russia.
The Turks reject this formula.
MORMON WOMEN ANXIOUS FOR POLYGAMY.
Washington, January 23.—The memorial
of Emeline B. Wells and Zina Young
Williams, daughter of the late Brigham
Young, was presented to the House by the
Speaker to-day and referred to the Commit
tee on the Judiciary. It asks for the repeal
of the anti-Polygamy law of 1862 and for
legislation to protect the women and
children of Utah.
SPANISH VICE CONSUL DISMISSED.
Madrid, January 23.—The Spanish Vice
Consul at Puerto Plata, San Domingo, has
been dismissed for sanctioning the arrest of
two insurgent generals who had taken
refuge on board a Spanish steamer and were
afterwards shot. The Spanish Government
has demanded satisfaction from Santo Do
mingo for outraging the protection of its
flag.
SWINDLER ARRESTED.
New York, January 23.—The Chief of
Police received several days ago from the
Chief of Police of Dallas, Texas, a commu
nication asking for the arrest of A. Ellis, of
that city, who is under indictment for
swindling numerous leather firms in Texas.
This morning the detectives arrested Ellis.
THE VATICAN AND MEXICO.
Rome, January 23.—The Vatican will
shortly take steps to re-establish relations
with the Mexican Government. Should the
negotiations prove unsuccessful, the wants
of the Mexican Church will be supplied in
the best manner possible without the inter
vention of the government.
BRIG STRANDED.
Charleston, January 23.—The British
brig Marios Coipel, lienee for Beaufort, is
stranded on Stouo breakers and bilged. Her
officers and crew have arrived here on the
tug Republic with some of her material.
FAILED.
London, January 23.—Alexander Carnegi,
merchant of Bishops Gate street, E. C.,
has failed. Liabilities one hundred and
tifty thousand pounds.
The Cabinet and the New Pension
Bill.
At tlie Cabinet meeting on Tuesday
afternoon there was, says the Washing
ton Star, a general discussion of the
arrears pension bill and its provi
sions. The discussion was not as to
whether the. bill should be approved or
signed, but as to the results of its being
carried out. Secretary Sherman and
Secretary Schurz both made statements
as to the amount which it was esti
mated that the bill would call for.
Secretary Sherman placed the figures at
al>out one hundred and fifty million dol
lars, aud said that if that amount should
go out of the treasury it would create a
deficit. Secretary Schurz's estimate,
which was from Commissioner of
Patents Bentley, differed considerably
from that of the Treasury Department.
It stated the amount that would hare to
be paid ont under the bill at fifty mil
lions. There was no decision as to how
the bill should be dealt with. There
was considerable discussion at the meet
ing as to where the money was to come
from if the bill should become a law.
It would seem that for once the spirit
of buncombe has overreached itself. It
is not probable that the majority of the
members of the House who voted for the
enormous depletion of the Treasury
which the payment of some fifty mil
lions of hack pension money would
cause, supposed for a moment that the
measure would pass the Senate. But
the Senate, not to be outdone in bun
combe, and equally anxious with the
members of the House to put themselves
on record as “friends of the soldier,”
passed the bill,which now only needs the
Executive approval to become a law.
And now the all absorbing question is,
will Mr. Hayes come to the rescue of the
threatened Treasury 1 The bill is very
generally disapproved by the people of all
parties. Leading Kepublican journals of
the North condemn it in strong terms.
The New Y'ork Pott says: “The
country cannot afford such an act of
mere generosity. The demand of the
times is for economy and retrenchment,
not for demagogic extravagance, and
when it is known that, notwithstanding
all provisions to the contrary, a large
part of the proposed expenditure will
stick to the fingers of claim agents, its
unexcusable character becomes all the
more apparent. It is the imperative duty
of President Hayes to veto this bill.”

Rewarded with a Nomination.—
Among the nominations sent to the Sen
ate on Tuesday is that of Samuel Lee
for Postmaster at Sumter, 8. C. f a placo
worth $1,500 per annum. Lee is the no
torious colored politician of South Caro
lina who did so much during the last
campaign to stir up race conflicts, and
against whom serious charges are pend
ing. A Washington special says the
nomination is very apt to encounter
serious opposition.

REV. W. N. CHOUDOIS. Jacksonville. Fla.
Corresponding Editor.
The purchase of The Florida Baptist, its
good will, etc., by the proprietors of The Index,
lias added a larger number to its already large

• The addition of a Florida Department to The
Index, has, also, enhanced its interest to our
readers.
All who desire to know more of the “ Land
of Flowers,” or to advertise their business in
terests to its people, will do well to subscribe
for and advertise in The Index, as it is the best
means of communicating with the Baptists of
that State.
Indeed, there is no paper published in the

Mainejit is Blaineism;Yennont,Edmunds-

The Timet might have added with equal
truth that in the country at large it is

Increased Insurance Rates.—In
view of the heavy losses of Boston in
surance companies by the recent New
York fires they have agreed to establish
a tariff of rates and appointed a com
mittee to consider the subject of an in
crease in their rates.
The Empress Eugenie is described as
leading the quietest and most monoton
ous of lives at Chiselhurst. She prays,
she drives, she embroiders; sometimes
she plays whist in the evening; one day
is almost exactly like another. Her food
is simple, and she talks little at table,
but always looks pleasant and interested.
She is still handsome, her beautiful
golden hair shining royaliy above her
plain black dress.
According to a vice regal order, “it is

of Cavalry shall in future be honored by
being designated ‘The Princess Louise

When ex-Governor Seymour was

several days iu going through it." “How

chaperon. “Too damn muchee,” replied
the ex-Governor.
