TAPPING THE \T1KE?».
The Potter Committee yesterday began
the investigation of the cipher telegrams.
Clarance Cary, attorney of the Western
Union Telegraph Company in New York,
Captain Whitney, manager of the eompanj
in Washington, Floyd Grant, and Jame. £
O. Green, son of President Green of tin
company, were called and examined. Tbeit
testimony elicited the fact that a large num
ber of these telegrams were received and
that they were about evenly divided as re
gards party. A number were sent by ZacL
Chandler from the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
some were signed Havemeyer, some liar
per and others Noyes. The evidenc*
generally was most damaging to tb<
Radical leaders. It decidedly involves Chan
dler, Tyner and others in a scheme to pur
chose some political office. Our Washing
ton special reports that Chandler is ven-
muck excited over the developments.
Edmunds reported in the Senate yester
day the House joint resolution proposing ;
constitutional amendment prohibiting tin
payment of claims to disloyal persons in tin
South for property injured or destroyed
during the war. He stated that the House
resolution was not full enough to cover the
object as expressed by the title, and h
would offer an amendment in the nature of
a substitute. In the House nothing of spe
cial importance was done. Pending ac
tion on the construction of proposed publi<
buildings in Augusta, Ga., Oxford, Miss.,
Key West, Fla., Lynchburg, Va., and other
cities, it adjourned.
An exciting time is pending over the New
York custom house removals. Senator
Conkling asserts that a good many Demo
crats in the Senate and only eight Republi
cans will vote to sustain Hayes. Collectoi
Arthur has written a long and vigorous de
fense to Secretary Sherman’s charges against
him.
The Grand Lodge of B’nai B’rith, in itt
session at Philadelphia yesterday, adopte*
the report of the Executive Committee ol
the Constitutional Grand Lodge, referrin;
to the statue of Religious Liberty erected it
1870 in Fairmount Park,Jand requesting tba
suitable provision be made for presenting
the same to the people of the United States
The lodges of the order contributed $3,151'
to the Roumanian mission.
SerA’.or Edmunds’ substitute for the
House joint resolution in regard to Southen
claims is very stringent, and prohibits the
payment of auy claim whatever for pro
perty taken or destroyed during the war in
the South, unless the party making the
same was undoubtedly “loyal.” Senator
Hill made a speech, in which he ranged
himself alongside of Edmunds, Bragg and
others, in opposition to such claims.
The Democratic Congressional caucus in
Washington have agreed to support the bill
reported from the Committee on Education
and Labor, which prohibits the importation
of more than fifteen Mongolians on anyone
vessel. The subject of a repeal of the iron
clad oath to grand and petit jurors of United
States Courts was considered, but definite
action was postponed until Monday evening
next.
An Egyptian National Bank has been
established at Alexandria, with a capital of
A4,000,000 sterling. •
The Blaine-Teller Committee was yester
day mainly occupied in hearing Democratic
testimony regarding the conduct of the
elections in Sumter and Williamsburg. Ed
ward Perry, a Charleston printer, swore that
he printed 10,000 tissue ballots for Mackey,
a Radical candidal e for Congress.
Two judges oi the election in Baltimore
have been found guilty of interfering with
Federal supervisors in the late Congressional
elections, and have been remanded for sen
tence.
The Virginia Senate yesterday adopted
the report of the special joint committee
of the Legislature on the alleged usurpation
of State jurisdiction by Federal Judge
Rives.
An exciting scene occurred in a Baptist
pastors’ meeting at New York yesterday. A
Rev. Justin D. Fulton contended that certain
words had been attributed to him in refer
ence to another brother’s sympathies
during the war, which he had not used. A
lengthy discussion ensued, which ended in
the Rev. Mr. Fuller’s being temporarily
suspended amidst much disorder.
The Senate Committee on Commerce
have reported adversely to Mr. Hayes’ New
York nominations.
It is believed that an influential group of
Bulgarian nobles to assemble for the elec
tion of a Bulgarian Prince, will advocate a
postponement of the-election for two years,
on the ground that no Bulgarian capable of
filling the office can be found. Russian
military occupation and civil administration
is proposed to be continued during that
time.
The Hack Pay Pension Grab.
The {jack pay pension bill, which,
having received the signature of Mr.
Hayes, has now become a law, meet9
with little favor in auy quarter, except
among the beneficiaries, among whom
may he counted scores of bounty-jump*
ers and Washington claim agents, into
the pockets of which latter class of
patriots a large portion of the many mil
lions to be drawn from the National
Treasury will go. The Philadelphia
Telegraph, an influential Independent Re]
publican journal, characterizes the law as
an “outrageous measure,” 8nd adds:
‘'Why certain Congressmen should vote
for an outrageous measure of this sort is
understandable enough, hut the Presi
dent is, or ought to be out of the range
of the particular infiuences that induced
Senators and Repiesentatives to aid in
passing a bill that such of them as have
consciences assuredly did not approve
of. That this bill has become a law
with the President’s aid is another
evidence of that fatal moral and in
tellectual feebleness that has prevented
Hr. Hayes from making his administra
tion the success that it easily could have
been made, and that has alienated from
him those who wished him well at the
outset, and upon whose staunch support
he could have confidently relied had he
made an\' real effort to deserve it.”
The scarlet fever and diphtheria are re
ported to be on the increase in New York,
the diseases occurring not only in tene
ment houses, but also in first-class hotels,
boarding houses and private residences.
There were reported last week one hun
dred and seventy-nine cases of scarlet
fever and forty-six cases of diphtheria.
The deaths from scarlet fever were thir
ty-six, and from diphtheria sixteen.
The losses of the Boston fire insurance
companies at the recent large fires in
New York are estimated at $197,500.
The premium receipts of ihe companies
for the six months ending June 30, 1878,
were $86,889. The largest loss of any
of the companies amounted to $25,000,
and the smallest to $5,000. Most of the
losses were $10,000 or less.
It is even as the Raleigh News says,
the pretended indignation of 'Republi
cans over the cipher dispatches has been
about as repulsive a piece of political
hypocrisy as the American people have
ever been called to look upon.
A Memphis dispatch says that General
Pillow’s death, some months since, was
caused by inflammation originating in
pne of the wounds he received in Mexico.
Radical Slanders Against the Sontli
to be Practically Refuted.
Wc publish elsewhere a commumca
tion to the New York Tribune from that
most venomous of all venomous Radical
South haters and slanderers, William
Lloyd Garrison, in which he encloses
letter written to him ^rom a “Federal
official in Georgia," praising him for his
efforts to create sectional animosity, and
applauding him for raising the bloody
shirt as the only standard under which
the Radical party can march to victory in
1880.
The name of this model “Federal offi
cial in Georgia" is carefully withheld
and no wonder that it is. Ilis letter,
will be readily seen, is a tissue of vile
falsehoods from beginning to end. He
declares that the South has been rendered
solid “by ruthlessly trampling under foot
the most sacred rights of citizenship,
by not tolerating freedom of speech, and
by the ostracism and murder of men who
vote the Radical ticket. And then, to
cap the climax, he writes that the “mis
sion of the Republican party will not be
accomplished untd these great wrongs
are righted,” and that upon no platform
can it more successfully labor than by
appealing to the worst passions of the
North, and creating deadly hate be
tween the two sections. Yet, while
he writes this, he is full well aware
of the historical fact that the South
has been made solid only because of the
fraud, thievery and corruption of the
Radical party which not only has
flooded the South with the scum of
creation, in the persons of thieving
vagabonds known as carpet-baggers,
but has given to the whole coun
try such startling corruptions a3 whisky
rings, credit mobilier rings, Indian rings,
Washington real estate pools, Pacific
mail subsidy schemes, and a thousand
other jobs for public plunder, which
number among their friends and ac
tive “coparceners” the National Con
gress, a private secretary of the Pre
ident of the United States, a Secretary
of War, a Secretary of the Interior,
an Attorney General, and hundreds of
private and personal favorites of the Na
tional Executive. A Federal official and
member of such a gang is a proper man
indeed, to prate about the “high mis
sion of the Republican party.” Most
decidedly fit and proper it is that
such as he, now that he is prevented
from any longer robbing her, should
basely slander and villify the South. No
wonder that for very shame of his own
infamy, and Hbt from fear, he enjoined
upon that arch promoter of discord, Gar
rison, to withhold his name from publi
cation.
But we can afford to treat all such po
litical thieves, tramps and vagabonds with
the contempt they so well deserve. Al
the slanders and misrepresentations they
can utter concerning our section are more
than refuted by honest Northern set
tiers in our midst—gentlemen who come
from the North, not with the help of
Federal bayonets to steal, rob and op
press: but to dwell among us, to be good
citizens, and to vote the Radical ticket if
they will, but, at the same time, to be
good citizens, and add to the substantial
prosperity of our section.
A convention of these gentlemen, com
posed of representatives from five States
of the South, on the loth inst., assem
bled at Charlotte, North Carolina, and
openly gave the lie to these slanders of
the South by disappointed and rascally
politicians, and now, to still more forci
bly- denounce such creatures and their
falsehoods, a circular has been addressed
by Mr. N. Dumont. President of the
Charlotte Convention, as follows:
Charlotte, N. C., January 1 7, 1879.
To Northern Horn Residents of the South and
ex-Members of the Feeleral Army Resident in
the Southern States:
At the convention of Northern settlers in
the South held in Charlotte, N. C., January
15, 1879, it was unanimously resolved, that
Northern born residents of the South and
ex-members of the Federal army, resident
in the Southern States, meet in convention
at the county seats of their respective coun
ties on the loth day of February, 1S79, to
consider u; on the preparation for publica-
tion through the press of the United States
and otherwise of a paper setting forth
the soil, climate, prices, ease of making
a living, and social treatment of the
individual Northern man in the South
ern States; that these conventions
be held regardless of party politics,
and that the same be excluded as well as
all vexed questions; that reports of their
proceedings be signed by the members at
tending, and the same sent to N. Dumont,
at Charlotte, North Carolina; and, further,
that these several county conventions on
February 15,1S79, select delegates to State
conventions, to be held at the capitals of
their respective States, to consider the same
matters, March 1,1879, which State conven
tions shall also send reports of their pro
ceedings as above, and shall also appoint
ten delegates from each of the Southern
States to attend a general convention to con
sider the same matters, to be holden at Char
lotte, North Carolina, July 4, 1879, at noon,
to which time this convention shall adjourn.
Will the persons coming within the pur
view of the above resolutions please con
vene in accordance with it V
Here is a call upon honest Northerners
all over the South to assemble “regard
less of party” and openly and can
didly state what their experience in
their adopted homes has been. There is
no skulking or concealing of names
here. Not one of these gentlemen but
who will be willing to publish his state
ment to the world. When the conduct
of the sneaking wTiter of that letter to
Garrison is contrasted with the ac
tion already taken by these North
ern settlers in the South,
the still more extended action
and
they
propose to take, liow T strikingly exem
plified is the boldness of honesty and
truth, and the cowardice of dishonesty
and falsehood. We repeat it, the South
can well afford to disregard the slanders
of such miserable creatures as this Fed
eral officeholder, when true Northern set*
tiers are ready to raise their voices in her
vindication. We trust, therefore, the
suggestions contained in the circular
above given will meet with a hearty re
sponse from all our b>na fide citizens of
Northern birth.
Some Washington correspondents of
Republican papers have very diligently
spread the report that a difference of
opinion exists between Northern and
Southern Democratic Senators as to the
validity of the adoption and the legal
effect of the constitutional amendments.
This is absurd, at this late day. The
Boston Post's correspondent says: “It
can be stated on the best authority that
there is not and never has been such
difference of opinion, but that all Demo
crats agree with the resolution as pre
sented by Senator Morgan, of Alabama.”
The Plague in Russia.
The appearance in portions of West
era and Southern Russia of what is now
conceded to be the plague, by which
whole regions of Europe have so often
been depopulated is causing much
anxiety, particularly, in Germany and
Austria, where measures are being
adopted by the International Sanitary
Commission to prevent the introduction
of the dreadful scourge into those coun
tries. It is announced • that the
German and Austrian delegates
to the Commission have laid be
fore that body certain prudential
measures which there is little doubt will
he immediately carried into execution.
These measures are, first, the dispatch of
physicians to the infected districts
Russia to study the character, progress
and local extension of the plague; sec
ondly, the complete prohibition of im
portation of all merchandise from the
suffering region, as well as certain speci
tied articles from all parts of Russia: and
thirdly, a quarantine of twenty days at
all of the eastern and southeastern fron
tier stations upon all persons coming
from the infected territory. These meas
ures, the cable tells us, were in substance
adopted by the Sanitary Commission.
The regulations concerning imports were
lightly modified by it; but it was re
solved, in case the epidemic should
spread, entirely to close the frontier.
The latest ravages of the plague in
Europe were made in the Neapolitan
States in 1815-16. It was last in Russia
in 1771-2 and in southern France in 1720.
Prior to this no instance appears in the
records until we reach the appalling
visitation of England in 166*5. Before
that date, however, it is said that Eng
land was regularly assailed by plague
every thirty or forty years. Many
diseases have been mistaken for plague,
and for a time errors have existed as re
gards its actual presence. The true dis
order is a virulent contagious fever
“characterized by an eruption of car
buncles and buboes.” Many who are
seized die, however, before the appear
ance of the eruption.
This appalling disease has never made
its appearance on this continent, but
seems to have been confined in its fear
ful ravages to the old countries of Asia
and Europe. But it is reasonable to
apprehend that the extraordinary facili
ties of steam communication, which have
so shortened the time of ocean transit
and increased the travel between the
continents, may expose us to dangers of
infection which did not formerly exist.
Therefore the spread of the plague in
Europe may well be dreaded by our
health authorities, who should be on the
alert to take every precaution to prevent
its reaching our shores.
A Terrible Domestic Tragedy.
Mr. Hull, a well-to-do farmer living near
Daytonville, La., has long petted his
daughter Emma, a beautiful girl eighteen
years old. His affection of late seems to
have increased into a mania, so that her
absence from home even for an evening
caused him much anxiety. On Thurs
day night she attended a spelling
school in the neighborhood, in company
with others of the family, which seemed
to give Mr Hull more than ordinary
uneasiness. On their return he arose
from bed and met them. About
one o’clock in the morning one of Em
ma’s sisters, sleeping in the same bed
with her, called to her mother that some
thing was the matter with Emma. The
mother came into the room, and, striking
a light, was horrified by the sight of her
daughter lying dead in a pool of blood.
At the same moment Mr. Hull came into
the ioom and, with the exclamation, “O,
mother!” shot himself through the head
with a revolver, dying instantly. Enftna
was found to have been sfruek on the
head with an axe just in front of the ear,
her head being almost cut in two.
Tiie Proposed Niagara Falls Park.
—A Buffalo Courier reporter interviewed
the Marquis of Lome at N lagara Falls
in regard to Lord Dufferin’s idea of es
tablishing an international park on both
sides of Niagara river, at the falls, arid
ascertained that the new Governor Gen
eral of Canada is heartily in favor of the
project. He had read the annual mes
sage of Governor Robinson, of New
Y’ork, and coincided with his view's in
regard to the park, expressing the opinion
that the plan was perfectly feasible, and
though it would take a deal of money,
of course, thought the tiling might be
done.
Captain Eads, .of Mississippi jetty
fame, is in Washington. He is watch-
ing the progress of the bill to establish
the Mississippi River Improvement Com
mission, which is now' pending in the
House. Captain Eads has not yet pre
pared a plan for the reclamation of the
low lands of the city of Washington and
the improvement of the sewerage of the
city, although he may do so. The mem
bers of the Senate Committee on the
District of Columbia are anxious that
Captain Eads should undertake the work.
Removal to Africa.—At the sixty
second annual meeting of the American
Colonization Society, held in Washing
ton last Tuesday, the receipts of the so.
ciety during the year were reported at
$16,694, and disbursements $16,406.
Fifteen thousand two hundred and
eighty-nine negroes have been colonized
by the society, and the report says half
million more are considering removal,
and it will be well for them to think a
long time about it.

Special Telegram to the Morning Sexes.
Washington, January 27.—It is the pres
ent intention of the War Department to
send the Eighteenth Infantry to the Indian
country next spring. The Eighteenth In
fantry has for the past five or six years been
stationed either in South Carolina or in
Georgia. It is now located at Atlanta and
quartered in McPherson barracks, about
four miles from the centre of the city,
and forms quite a military post. It is not
the intention of the War De
partment to order another regiment to At
lanta to take the place of the Eighteenth
Infantry. The necessity for a military post
at that point is thought no longer to exist.
A small detachment of troops may, accord
ing to the present plan, be kept at the
McPherson barracks, and again the post
may be entirely abandoned. The present
visit of General Sherman South will deter
mine which of these two courses shall be
pursued. The breaking up of the poet
at Atlanta would be rather to the
disadvantage of that city. In maintaining
a regiment and in keeping up a post like
McPherson barracks, quite a sum of money
is expended directly with Atlanta’s citizens.
The desertion of the post would, of course,
be that much loss to the city.
When General Sherman left Washington
he intended before returning to pay Savan
nah a trip. The sale of a good deal of prop
erty that has fallen into the hands of the
government in the South through military
channels will very likely be one of the re
sults of General Sherman’s Southern trip.
The executive session of the Senate this
evening heard Arthur and Cornell’s defense
read. The administration asked for a copy
of the defense that Sherman might answer.
Daily executive sessions will be held until
the New York nominations are disposed of.
Conkling said, to-night, to the News
representative,that the following Democrats
would vote to reject the New York nomina
tions : Eaton, Borman, McPherson, Dennis,
Thurman, Coke, Maxey, Wallace, Davis
(W. Va.), Davis (Ills.), Cockrell, Voorhees,
McDonald and Bayard. He claims that but
eight Republicans will sustain Hayes.
Ben. Hill’s speech in the Senate this
afternoon on the Southern claims is severely
criticised in Southern quarters. He took a
stand alongside of Bragg in denouncing
such claims indiscriminately. .
This was the field day of the cipher in
vestigation. It shows Zach Chandler, Jim
Tyner and others in a very damaging light
as to purchasing offices and paying for them.
William E. Chandler Is visiting all the news
paper offices to-night to explain away the
force of to-day’s revelations.

Washington, January 27.—The decision

Court to-day in the case, of the At
lantic and Gulf Railroad Company
against the State of Georgia affirmed
the liability of tbe road to taxa
tion under the act of the Legislature, ap
proved February 28, 1874, on the ground
that the act of 1863, consolidating the
Savannah, Albany and Gulf Railroad and
the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, operated to
create a new corporation, and thus deprived
those companies of the privileges and im
munities granted by their original charters.

Missouri Lunatic Asylum Burned.
—The State Lunatic Asylum, near St.
Joseph, Mo., was entirely destroyed by
fire on Saturday. The patients, about
,wo hundred and fifty in number, were
safely removed and now occupy the
court house in St. Joseph. Everything
is being done for their comfort, but they
have suffered somewhat from exposure
and excitement The building was
erected four years ago at a cost of $190,-
000. Eighteen months ago there was
$100,000 insurance, but the State refused
an appropriation to continue the same.
Therefore, the loss is total.
Orders for twenty-five thousand stand
ard dollars were received at the Treasury
Saturday. This makes $499,000 in silver
paid out of the Treasury in orders during
last week.
The statements are made with a good
deal of positiveness that Senator Christi-
ancy will resign his seat in the Senate
on the 2d of March next and is then to
be nominated Minister to Peru; that ex-
Secretary Chandler will succeed him;
and that he will be on hand to be sworn
in as soon as the Senate meets, either in
extraordinary or its regular session.
Reducing Expenses.—The Massachu
setts Senate, by a vote of 25 to 11, has
voted to reduce the pay of its members
from $650 to $500. A committee of the
Senate has also made a report which
would secure an annual reduction of
$69,000 in the salaries of Massachusetts
officials.
Minnesota has a “drummer” in Eu
rope and an agent in New York. She

in securing immigration.
It is reported that a number of citizens

EDMUNDS’ SUBSTITUTE FOR THE SOUTHERN
CLAIMS RESOLUTION.
Washington, January 27.—The following
the full text of the proposition reported
from the Senate Judiciary Committee as a
substitute for the constitutional amendment
the same subject proposed by the
joint resolution which passed the House on
suspension of rules on tbe last day of tbe
last session:
“Article XVI.—No claim against the
United States shall eyer hereaf
ter be sustained or allowed by Congress, or
any department officer or court of the Uni
ted States, or money paid by the
United States or from their funds, whether
as damages, compensation or otherwise, for
or on account of any property, real, per
sonal or mixed, taken, used, injured or de
stroyed by United States troops, or by or
through any officer, civil or military, or
through persons acting or profess
ing to act uuder or by authority
of the United States or of their
enemies, or taken, used, injured or de
stroyed from any other causes whatever
during the existence of the late insurrection
or rebellion against the Government of the
United States, unless the owner thererof,
and, in case of any co-operation, its govern
ing authority and management was during
all time of such insurrection or rebellion
loyal in fact to the Government
of the United States, and gave
neither aid nor encouragement to the
enemy. No pension, bounty, grant, pecu
niary indemnity or pecuniary benefit shall
ever be paid or provided for, by or under
the authority of Congress or any State for or
on account of any military or other service,
or injury suffered in hostility to the Gov
ernment of the United States. No pardon
or amnesty, past or future, shall have any
effect to take any person’6 case or claim out
of the purview of this article.”
further from tije cipher telegrams.
Washington, January 27.—Green in his
testimony said the telegrams that he saw
were signed by Tyner, who is the Second
Assistant Postmaster General, and the im
pression he gathered was that they referred
to the sale of some political office, but
what the office was he could not say. Wit
ness admitted that he forwarded to Wash
ington at the request of President Orton,
the entire telegraphic correspondence be
tween Judge Tyner and Mr. Foster, of
Indianapolis, who were the parties holding
the correspondence referred to. The letter
making this request was destroyed by the
witness in compliance with Orton’s instruc
tions.
Representative Evans, of Indiana, was ex
amined relative to a certain package sup
posed to contain a portion of the cipher
telegrams sent to the Senate Committee on
Privileges and Elections by the Western
Union Telegraph Company. Witness denied
any knowledge of the contents of the pack
age, asserting that a clerk ot the committee
gave the bundle to him for sake keeping,
and he turned it over intact to the Second
Assistant Postmaster, General Brady, who
evidently has them now.
Brady wlll be called to-morrow.
—
EXCITING SCENE IN A BAPTIST MEETING.
New York, January 27.—There was quite
a scene at the Baptist pastors’ meeting to
day. Rev. Justin D. Fulton contended that
the word “obnoxious,’’ which appeared on
the minutes, had not been introduced in Dr.
Swan’s resolution requesting him to with
draw an expression used by turn last week
in reference to Dr. Sampson’s sympathies
during the war. After a neated discussion.
Swan stated tbe word was not
used, neither was tbe term “offen
sive,” also iu the minutes, applied.
Another pa6tor demanded why tbe clerk
had inserted the words, and a lively argu
ment ensued. Subsequently a motion was
made for Fulton's partial suspension. He
attempted to make an address, but could
not be beard on account of tbe noise made
by members calling for the question.
Finally Fulton gave up the effort to make
himself heard, and started to leave. Cries
of “Come back, Brother Fulton,” were
heard, but no attention was paid, aud he de
parted. The motion for his partial sus
pension was carried.
NATIONAL CAPITAL NOTES.
Washington, January 27.—Information
tending to confirm the reports that Sitting
Bull has recrossed tha Canada border were
received at the Department of the Interior
to-day. The government Is undecided as to
whether hostilitie- will be tendered or not,
and Mr. Schurz will bring the matter before
the Cabinet to-morrow.
Albert G. Edwards has been nominated
as Assistant Treasurer at St. Louis.
A letter of Secretarv Sherman, giving
reasons for tbe removal of Collector Arthur
at New York, was made public to-day, to
gether with Arthur’s reply. Sherman's let
ter, as previously stated, alleges that Arthur
did not study sufficiently tbe interests
of the government: that he made sinecure
appointments, and otherwise gave good
reason for the change in the ColJectorship.
Arthur’s reply is a document, of eight thou
sand words in length, aud is a vigorous de
fense of his position. He denies empliati
calJy Sherman's assertions, and declares
that reforms instituted by him were adopted
by the department.
DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
Washington, January 27.—A joint
Democratic caucus of Senators and Repre
sentatives was held this evening, the prin
cipal object of which was to take action on
the question of the restriction of Chinese
immigration. The subject was briefly con
sidered, and it was agreed to support the
bill reported from the Committee on Educa
tion aud Labor by Representative Willis,
which prohibits the lauding of more than
fifteen Mongolians by any one vessel.
