are requested to hold primary meetings,
and to send delegates under the
customary rules to a convention of the
party, to be held at Savannah on the 4th
of February proximo, to nominate a
candidate to fill the unexpired term of
the late Mr. Ilartridge in the Forty-fifth

TAPPING THE W lltES.
Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Mrs. Susan
B. Anthony, and other officers of the National
Woman's Suffrage Association, presented
their regular petition to the Senate yt-ster
day praying for action in favor of granting
to women the right to vote. Referred to
the Committee on Privileges and Elections.
Mr. Saulsbury, of Delaware, called up a
resolution submitted by him calling upon
the Secretary of the Treasury for informa
tion in regard to commissions paid bankers
and others for negotiating the sale
of United States bonds, and also
in regard to the payment of double interest
on such bonds, and as to whether the pro
ceeds of bonds sold had been allowed to
remain in banks acting as government de
positories. An amendment offered by Mr.
Hale was adopted, and the resolution
passed. After a lengthy discussion on the
post route bill, Edmunds, of Vermont, en
deavored to call up bis enforcement law re
solutions, but, pending the consideration of
the subject, the Senate adjourned. Nothing
of any special importance was transacted
by the House.
The Cabinet yesterday discussed the
arrearages pension bill lately passed by
Congress. The members were reserved re
garding the measure, but it is said Mr.
Hayes approves it.
An appropriation will be asked of Con
gress to test Professor Gamge’s theory of
destroying the germs of yellow fever by
means of cold produced by a refrigerating
and ventilating ship to be stationed at New
Orleans, and moved from place to place as
occasion demands.
The (r'oloi, of St. Petersburg, says that
England is de facto sovereign of Afghanis
tan, an*! has every chance for carrying
through her plans in Asiatic Turkey.
Augustus Phillips, an actor, manager and
writer, known as “Oofty Gooft,” had a
quarrel with a woman named Mary Hooper,
yesterday, in New York, by whom he was
shot in the left side. Two hours later Phil
lips returned and beat and kicked . the
woman so severely as to endanger her life.
The steamship Nio, at Charleston, with
over three thousand bales of cotton on
board, is on fire. Steam engines are filling
her hold with water and her cargo will be
greatly damaged. It is insuied itr foreign
offices.
General Snerman is on his way to Atlanta.
The subject of the transfer of the Indian
Bureau from the War to the Interior De
partment will be voted on to-day by the
joint committee in charge of the same. If
Senator Oglesby refrains from voting, as is
anticipated, the transfer will be carried by a
majority of one. It he votes there will be
a tie.
The Blaine-Teller committee in Charleston
yesterday examined several witnesses. The
black Republicans generally testified to
Democratic interference at elections, and
the Democrats that the utmost good feeling
prevailed between the races.
The Bulgarian Constitution has been rati
fied by the Czar and will be translated into
the Bulgarian language. The time consum
ed by the translation will postpone the
meeting of the A ssembly until February 10th.
Dr. E. P. Bond, late Secretary of the Pres
byterian Board of Publication, who was sus
pended last year for alleged irregularities
in the funds of the concern, has been restor
ed to his ministerial office by the East Han
over (Virginia) Presbytery.
The 8t. Petereburg|G’oJw complains of de
lay in the signing of the definitive treaty be-
tweenRussia and tbe Porte,and advocates the
occupation of Adrianople until April, so that
the Porte may feel the influence of Russian
troops, when the result of the election of a
Bulgarian Governor is declared.
The bark A. A. Rich, from Baltimore to
Europe, has put into St. Thomas in distress,
fcbe encountered a hurricane on the 4th
inst., in which she was damaged, and her
Captain was swept overboard.
The Senate Committee on Commerce have
decided to report adversely to the New York
custom house nominations.
The proposition before the Potter Com
mittee to permit Mr. Tilden to appear be
fore it by consent, was voted down instead
of adopted as heretofore reported. All the
Democratic members voted against it.
The owners of tbe ship Ralston, whose
Captain wrote a letter to thed Amiralty do-
tailing certain suspicious acts of a steamer
at sea fifty miles from Fastuet, pronounce
tbe story a hoax or a delusion.
Before the Potter Committee yesterday,
the witness St. Martin was examined at con
siderable length. His testimony regarding
the bribery of witnesses by members of the
committee in New Orleans was inconsistent
and rambling, aud at its close objection was
made to placing his testimony on record, as
it was evidently a mass of falsehoods. He
admitted that there were indictments agaiflst
him for cutting and shooting, but as he wa6
only twenty-four years old he considered
bis record a very fail - one.
Col. ff. S. Keitt, of South Carolina, who
has been suing the New York Touts for
fifty thousand dollars damages for alleged
libel, yesterday received a verdict of six
cents.
It is stated that the Chaplain of the
Maine House of Representatives electri
fied that body the other day by praying
that God would give the members grace
“to stop speaking when they got
through.” The St. Louis Republican
thinks lie “ought also to have begged
that He w T ould teach them not to speak
at all unless they had something to say,
for if the average legislator never spoke
except when he had something worth
saying, and always stopped when he
had said all he had to say, there would
be much less complaint about long ses
sions.”
O. P. Fitzsimons, Esq., United States
Marshal., has returned to Atlanta. The
Augusta Chronicle says: “There is no
truth in the report that charges have
been preferred against him at Washing
ton. He has discharged the duties of his
office intelligently and efficiently. He
Las given satisfaction to the people of
Georgia, and the administration at Wash
ington is satisfied that he ha? discharged
Lis duty to the government. The charges
against Marshal Fitzsimons were trump
ed up by a partisan correspondent of
the New York Times”
The Late Massacre of Cheyennes.
Another, and, if possible, more horri
ble exemplification of the brutal and in
human treatment of Indians by the Uni
ted States Government than has ever be
fore been given, has lately been presented
to the world. A few weeks ago
our readers have learned by telegraph
some foity Cheyenne Indians at Fort
Robinson were told that it was the
intention of the government to return
them to t heir reservation. Probably re
collecting vividly how they had been
starved, cheated and swindled by gov
ernment Indian agents, and rendered
desperate by such recollections, they be
came very sullen over the news, and in
formed the United States officers ir
charge of them that they would rather
die than return to the tender mercies of
their despoilers. A system of heartless
barbarity was then practiced toward
them. They, with their wives and cbil
dren, were deprived of food, fire, and
even clothing, as a means of coercing
them into acquiescence by starvation
and freezing. Hence, though the
prairie was covered deep with snow
this band of red men broke
away from their guards, and made
a despairing effort for liberly and life.
They r were fired on and several of their
number wounded and killed, but, hav
ing returned the fire, the remainder pre
ferred death to sui render, and refused to
yield. Since this time, they have been
relentlessly pursued by United States in
fantry,cavalry and artillery, and our dis
patches of yesterday morning wind up
the sickening story with the announce
meut that “later news from the field
states that only nine Cheyennes, all of
them wounded, were captured. The bal
ance of the party (twenty-three in num
her) were killed. Seventeen are still un
accounted for. It is supposed that some
some are dead from their wounds and
that the others have escaped.”
We submit it that no greater disgrace
could be brought upon the country, than
is inflicted by this brief sad recital of
wrong, outrage and murder. The
system adopted towards the In
dians by the United States seems
to be, in brief, only to make treaties
with them, break the same, rob and
swindle them at will, goad them to des
peration, and tlieu massacre them. This
is the same old story constantly repeated
of our conduct towards the aborigines.
Out of forty' men, nine,all wounded,have
been captured, twenty-three have been
killed, and of the remainder, seventeen,
it is thought many have died of
their wounds. What a commentary
upon the greatest government the world
ever saw ? Yet we call Indians savage!
Which, in the name of civilization,
is most worthy of the term—the Indians
or their murderers ? Is it any wonder
that year after year the taxpayers are
culled upon to defray the expenses of
long and costly Indian wars.
One of the most remarkable facts con
nected with this wholesale and bloody
Cheyenne massacre is the silence of Con
gress in the face of such an outrage. With
the exception of a resolution of inquiry
regarding the affair, introduced in the
Senate by Senator Yoorhees, of Indiana,
we believe, no denunciation of such
barbarity has been beard in the Na
tional Legislature. We have seen Blaine,
of Maine, rise in his seat in the Senate
aud offer resolutions declaring that the
negro in the South is horribly outraged.
We have seen Edmunds, of Vermont,
introducing resolutions of like import,
and demanding that the man and brother
should be protected in his rights. We
have seen ten thousand dollars appropri
ated to enable a Senatorial committee to
travel about and regale themselves in
royal luxury while hunting up these
imaginary outrages. Yet though the
facts are published openly abroad that
Indians, the wards of the nation and the
former possessors of our soil, are driven
to despair by maltreatment by United
States officials, and arc then decimated by
United Stales troops, not a word have
these eminent and model philanthropists
to utter in condemnation. The “poor
African,” who, under the kind treatment
of Southern w’hites, is rapidly accumu
lating wealth, l_»eing educated, and, as far
as possible, being taught to appreciate
and enjoy the blessings of civilization in
the South, is an object of tbe tenderest
(?) solicitude, while the red man is made
the object of robbery by government
agents and food for government powder,
without even an expression of sympathy
over his most unfortunate condition.
Such a state of affairs needs no com
ment. It speaks for itself. The negro,
who really owes his enfranchisement
from barbarism to that extinct “heathen
institution,” is an object of regard by
Iiadical philanthropists, because he is
a means for making political capital.
The Indian is despoiled and murdered in
silence, because nothing can be made by
espousing his cause. Truly, the coun
try has need to be impatient for the time
to come when it will be released from
this, along with the legion of other dis
graces with which its escutcheon Las
been tarnished by Radicalism.
The Pension Bill. ^
A Washington dispatch reports that
Mr. Hayes will hesitate to veto the pen
sion bill, lest such an act may “drive the
soldiers out of the Republican party.”
Such a report, remarks the New York
Post, is complimentary neither to the
President nor to the soldiers. “If the
President finds,” continues the Post,
“that the measure is one which will seri
ously embarrass tbe Treasury and add an
unknown amount to the sum required to
lie taken from the people in taxes, no ques
tion of party expediency should induce
him to give to it his sanction. On the
other hand, it is taking a very low view
of the morals and motives of the men
who have defended their country in war
to assume that, if a President shall re
fuse to approve of an objectionable bill
which will add a few dollars to each pen
sioner’s income all these men will at
once transfer their votes and influence to
the party by w’bich the President is op
posed. If party support involves any
adherence whatever to important princi
ples of government, then w’e have no
fear that the great body of American ex-
soldiers can be induced to desert a party
in this manner,”
A bill has been introduced in the New
York Legislature providing that all at
torneys admitted to practice in the Su
preme Court of that State shall be em
powered to perform the duties of
potaries public.
The Teller Committee, though it start
ed out with great anticipations and under
the pressure of a great blowing of Re
publican trumpets, has dwindled into an
unmistakable fizzle. No one believes
tbe evidence furnished by the Republi
can Federal officials in Louisiana, who
were working to save their official heads.
So unimportant have the operations of
the committee become that two of the
leading Democratic members have re
turned to Washington and are replaced
by less prominent Senators. Tbe Teller
investigation has fallen flat, and not even
the report of the incomparable liar who
acts as its clerk will redeem the com
mittee’s memory.
The Cental System.
The New York Produce Exchange is
actively urging the introduction of the
cental as the unit in the measurement
of breadstuffs in the United States. The
system already prevails in California, it
was legalized in England on the 2d of
January and was to be put in force on
the 16th. The circular of the Produce
Exchange says :
“Hereafter, therefore, all quotations
from Liverpool will read per cental.
Thus, upon Indian corn, 49. 7d. per cen
tal is equivalent to 22s. per 480 pounds,
4s. 8^d. per central is equivalent to 22s.
6d. per 480 pounds; 4s. 94d. per cental
is equivalent to 23b. per 480 pounds;. 4s.
lOfd. per central is equivalent to 23s. Gd.
per 480 pounds: 5s. per cental is equiva
lent to 24s. per 480 pounds. It i9 also sug
gested that American millers be induced
to pi&k flour 200 pounds into each barrel.
On this point the Liverpool correspond
ents say: ‘We are aware some grievance
is felt on your side at our long established
tare of 20 pounds to the barrel, as short
age is exaggerated thereby. Our own pri
vate opinion is that if the barrel of flour
was held to be 218 pounds gross and
quoted and sold for 200 pounds, or two
centals, less 18 pounds tare, substantial
justice would be done, and the more as
sack flour is now all weighed gross, the
two-pound, three pound or four pound
sack going at the same price as flour,
while nothing is allowed for the empty
barrel. We should use our best exertions
to get it settled on this basis if your mil
lers would agree to pack 218* pounds
gross, or 200 pounds flour, 18 pounds
tare. New York and Chicago should un
doubtedly accomplish this great reform
and universalize the cental before Jan
uary, 1879, runs out.* ”
The substitution of the cental (the
decimal system, in other words), in
measuring grain for the old “standard”
bushel, is found, says the Baltimore Sun,
to be a great improvement everywhere.
Its adoption by Great Britain marks a
decided step in advance taken by that
country of innumerable antiquated
weights and measures. A cental of
grain is 100 pounds, and grain measured
in this way will be rated in multiples
and decimals of* centals. The name
“cental” means a hundred, of course,
but it suggests, and was probably de
rived from the old French and Spanish
quintal, a measure of very extensive use.
The modern French or metrical quintal
is 220 pounds, but the old French quin
tal weighed about 108 pounds, and the
Castilian, Chilian, Mexican and Peruvian
quintals average about 10H pounds each.
Beast Butler, who, while he plied his
vocation at the South, was the pride and
boast of the Massachusetts Radicals, has,
it seems, become the bete noir of his par
ty in his native State. Ilis canvass for
Governor of that commonwealth gave
them a terrible scare last year; and now,
just when they were congratulating
themselves on his defeat, and the solid
men and the “culcha” of Boston were
smoothing their rumpled feathers and
settling down to a renewed sense of secu
rity, they are startled half out of their
wits by the ominous announcement that
he contemplates another contest for the
Governorship. The New Y’ork Tribune
says: “It is the unanimous opinion of
General Butler’s leading followers in
Massachusetts that he will run for Gov
ernor again this fall. One of them de
clares that instead of subsidizing a Bos
ton organ to advocate his cause, the
managers of Butler’s interest will issue
a campaign daily newspaper of their
own, manned by sharp young journalists
who will be furnished with plenty of
points on which to impale Republican
leaders. They will make it a w’ar with
out mercy, since they are convinced that
their chief mistake last year was in being
too lenient.”
Proposed Colonization of the Ne
groes.—Senator Windom, of Minnesota,
declares that he is thoroughly in earnest
in his scheme for negro migration. He
says he has talked with a good many of
the leaders of the colored people, and
they think it is practicable. Even the
Southern colored people think it would
work well. He doesn’t expect to take
them to the North unless they wish to go
there. The New Y’ork Tribune says: “His
idea is to leave them in the South, but to
scatter them so that the pressure which
is now’ brought upon them when they
try to vote as majorities will be removed
If they are divided up into smaller mass
es they will vote more freely, and will
finally divide on political issues. There
are millions of acres of land in the
South actually suffering for cultivation
and Mr. Windom hopes to be able to
distribute the population so as to culti
vate it. He has no sectional feeling in
making the proposition, but believes
that in addition to improving the con
dition of the negro, his plan will relieve
us of sectional issues.”

The Howard Association’s Report.
The Chicago Times fills seventeen of its
columns with the report of the Howard
Association of New Orleans for the year
just closed, reviewing the labors of the
organization during the late epidemic,
giving the particulars, the progress of
the plague, the number of people at
tacked and their nationality, with tables
showring the amount of money received
and the sources whence it was derived.
The report is very interesting, and shows
in an admirable manner the excellent
discipline and organization of this asso
ciation. The total amount of money
received by the association was $383,449.
The report states that so liberal were the
contributions that the association was not
only enabled to discharge all its obliga
tions, but to make something like an
adequate compensation to the physicians
who had voluntarily given their services
in behalf of the affiicted city.
The Plans of Leon Chotteau.—Mr.
Leon Chotteau, the French delegate to
America in the interest of the Franco-
American commercial treaty, who arrived
at New York from Havre a few days
since, will shortly visit the cities of Bal
timore, Philadelphia, Boston, New Or
leans, St. Louis, Chicago and San Fran
cisco to meet the Chambers of Com
merce of those cities and lay before them
the result of the Paris conference for
their consideration. The object of his
visit is briefly to try and arrange the
specific provisions of a treaty of com
merce that will be mutually advantageous
to both countries and acceptable to both
governments. He says France is ready
at this minute to place the United States
upon the footing of the most favored
nations as regards trade, and he trusts
that the United States will look at the
matter in a similar light.
It is said tliat Hayes has made up his
mind to removfc Marshal Jack Wharton
at New Orleans, and it is understood
that Governor Warmouth will be ap
pointed to succeed him.
The dignified Chan Lan Pin, Chinese
Ambassador, wore at the White House
reception the other day an underskirt of
maroon silk, with an over dress of dark
brocade, the texture of which was
brightened by a mixture of gold thread.
This gorgeous dress was completed by a
fur-lined silk over-garment, a basin
shaped hat, and an able, diplomatic ex
pression upon his wise anc handsome
face.
John Blair Scribner, senior partner of

11. Singleton testified to finding a package
of tissue tiekets in the ballot box at Swim
ming Pen precinct.
C. 11. Moise and Marion Louise,of Sumter
county, were called by tbe Democrats, and
testified to a general good feeling towards
the colored people in the county, and non
interference with Republican meetings on
October 12th. Several colored witnesses
testified to Democratic interference and
alleged fraudulent voting.
LIVERPOOL COTTON CIRCULAR.
Liverpool, January 24.—This week’s cir
cular of the Liverpool Cotton Brokers Asso
ciation says there was considerable business
in cotton in the early pari of the week, and
prices advanced; but since Tuesday, the mar
ket has been quiet, and quotations are
generally the same as last week. American
advanced early in the week l-16d.
to Kd.» but the tone is now
quieter. Quotations generally are un
changed. In sea islands, there was
a good demand during the past fortnight,
and prices are a half penny higher. Futures
were strong and l-16d. higher on Friday,
with considerable business, and advanced
l-16£r3-32d. on Saturday, when an improve
ment was maintained. Since then it has
been weak aud the whole advance was
gradually lost. The market closed stead}-
at last Thursday’s prices.
PROBABLE FATAL QUARREL W ITH A WOMAN.
New York, January 24.—During a quar
rel between Mary Hooper and Augustus

tor, manager and writer, professionally
known as “Oofty Gooft.”
THE INDIAN TRANSFER.
Washington, January 24.—The joint
commission on the Indian transfer meet to
morrow for the purpose of voting on the
raiin question. If Oglesby, who has not
attended any meeting of the commission,
refrains from voting, as is anticipated by-
several members thereof, there will be a ma
jority of one in favor of the transfer. Should
Oglesby vote, it will be a tie.
STEAMSHIP ON FIRE.
Charleston, S. C., January 24.—A fire
was discovered in the hold of the British
steamship Nio about nine o’clock. She is
said to have over 3,1500 bales of cotton on

A Scheme to Shel and Pension
• General Grant.
A Washington special to the Graphic
says : “It is not unlikely that a measure
will soon be introduce 1 in Congress
having in view the creation of an honor
ary title, with a liberal retiring pension
for the conqueror of the rebellion. It is
understood that the movement will first
be made by some prominent Southern
Democrat, and that it will be cordially
supported by the leaders of both politi
cal parties. The Democrats do not want
General Grant to run as the Republican
candidate for the third term, and many
of the Republican leaders—always with
the exception of Senator Conkling—
would be very willing to have Grant
out of the way before the nominating
convention meets. It is thought that
this matter will come to an end and be
disposed of before the adjournment of
the present Congress."
It is hardly to be credited that any
such scheme as the above is seriously
contemplated. While both parties would,
no doubt, be glad to have the third term
elephant out of the way, and the coun
try at large might well afford to pay
even a hundred thousand dollars a year
to avert the calamity of a restoration of
the Grant faction to power, it is not likely
that Congress would venture on the ex
pedient of creating a new life office for
him in order to accomplish that object.
Surely no “prominent Southern Demo
crat” could be found outside of an insane
asylum to initiate such a movement.
The Wiilmngton Star, regarding the
matter in a serious light, and consider
ing the proposition only another step in
the steady march of Iiadical usurpation
and outrage, says: “There never’was a
more reprehensible movement set on foot
in behalf of a man than the one to create
the office of Field Marshal for Grant,
with a salary of $25,000 a year: There
is no language too strong with which to
denounce such a proposition. Every
thing is tending to a strong government.
Tne United States Judges are setting aside
the State courts, men are crying out for a
great standing army, and now Grant
must be created a Field Marshal after
the manner of France.”

plan of electing a President, commonly
called the Edmunds electoral bill; the
bill changing our whole patent system;
that regulating commerce between the
States, and the Geneva award bill.
The Springfield Republican thinks it
“rather a joke,” after all the talk about
Southern claims, that the William and
Mary College bill, “a measure which
was fathered by so stout a Republican as
George F. Hoar, should fail in a body
controlled by the party w’hich was going
to assume the rebel debt, pay for the
slaves and do sundry other little things
of that sort.”

Bryant After Supplies.—The noto

actions in this State, having exhausted
other sources, is now trying to get
money from the benevolent of New

we suppose Bryant thinks he must live,
