WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 29. 1*79
TAPPING THE WIRES.
Seven thousand miners are idle in the
county of Durham. England. Great dis
tress prevails.
Representatives of several prominent
oanking firms have gone to Richmond to
nttend the legislative conference for the
funding of the State debt.
In the Arlington case yesterday, Judge
Hughes read a lengthy decision. He decided
to grant the instructions asked for by the
plain'll!, General G. W. Custis Lee, and to
refuse those asked for by the defendants,
the United States. He bases this decision
upon decisions heretofore granted by the
United States Supreme Court bearing upon
points of law similar to those in this case.
The bill to restrict the immigration of
Chinese yesterday passed the House. Id
the Senate Mr. Davis, of Illinois, presented
a memorial signed by three thousand one
hundred and ninety persons, representing
sixteen States, praying for a bureau to <?ol
lect statistics in regard to labor interests,
and the appointment of a special commis
sion to inquire into what extent macMnen
has taken the place of manual
labor. Referred to the Committee on
Education and Labor. The Finance Com
mittee of the Senate agreed to report in
favor of a reduction of the tax ou tobacco
from twenty-four to twenty cents, and for
the admission of licorice and licorice paste
free of duty. No actiou was taken iu regard
to the tax on cigars, cigarettes and snuff.
The Chinese immigration bill, which
passed the House yesterday, makes it a mis
demeanor punishable with fine and im
prisonment for the master of any vessel to
take on board at any foreign port more
than fifteen Chinese immigrants to the
United States. The act is to take effect
from and after the 1st of July next.
In the Senate yesterday Senator Gordon
introduced a bill to grant the right of wav
to the Atlantic and Mexican Gulf Canal
through the lands of the United States
along said canal.
It is reported that Henry M. Stanley i.-
about to make another exploring expedi
tion in Africa.
Russia complains of the stir created iu
Europe by the plague, and especially of the
action of Germany iu making sanitary pre
cautions an international matter. The Rus
sians assert that the precautions alreadv
taken are perfectly efficacious, as is proven
by the disease not having spread beyond the
places where it originally occurred.
Before the Potter Committee General
Brady, Second Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral, was examined in regard to the cipher
dispatches. He made copies of them all
and divided tne originals between W. E
Chandler, Whitelaw Reid and Hlscock. W.
E. Chandler testified that he received the
dispatches and deposited them on Butler’*
desk without his knowledge. No reason
was given for this mystery. Witness claim'
that he was always in favor of the cipher
Investigation, as he believed it would en
hance the credit of the Radical party.
The Secretary of the Emigration Commis
sion says that an increasingly large number
of prepaid passage tickets have been pur
chased. It is anticipated that of operatives
alone twenty thousand will arrive in the
United States in the next few months.
Advices from Ashland, Kentucky, report
that the prolonged strike of the Norton
iron works mines has terminated. A large
number of the turbulent miners assembled
at the works and threatened to make
trouble among the men resuming work.
Amid this excitement a strike occurred at
Princess’ furnace mines, a few miles
distant, and several hundred men are thrown
out of employment. Great excitement pre
vails and bloodshed is feared.
Edmunds’ substitute for the House joint
resolution prohibiting the payment of
Southern war claims is a bitter and vindic
tive measure. It provides for the revoca
tion of all pardons to Confederates; the pro
hibition of furnishing artificial limbs to ex-
Coafederates by the States, and the stop
ping by law the trial of the Arlington case.
It is not believed that there is any proba
bility of the substitute passing. The Demo
cratic caucus have determined to meet Ed
munds’ malignity in a proper spirit.
The St. Petersburg Golos states that the
plague has appeared in a hamlet thirty-four
miles from Witlinnka. Considerable alarm
prevails in Moscow over the news that a
number of recruits for the Imperial Guards
from the infected districts have passed
through that city.
The conference between the creditors and
the Legislature of Virginia, regarding the
debt of the State, will be held ou the 20th
Just.
Henry G. Hester, of New Orleans, has
been elected Secretary of the National Cot
ton Exchange.
The nomination of Stroback as Postmas
ter at Montgomery is regarded as a move by
Mr. Hayes to conciliate opposing factions of
the Radical party in Alabama.
The total amount appropriated by the
legislative, executive and judicial appro'
priation bill is $15,155,505, which is $222,572
less than last year’s appropriation, and
$941,036 less than the department estimates.
In view of the fact that January 1st is a
legal holiday, several national banks have
asked the Comptroller of the Currency that
their last report of their condition may be
dated December 31st. The Comptroller
desires their last return to be in all cases
datea January 1st, so as to be included iu
1879.
A Promising Southern Authoress,
We have seen in many of our ex
changes highly complimentary notice 5 of
a new story now appearing in a well
known New York literary journal, enti
tied, “The Widow’s Wager,” by Hose
Asleigb, of South Carolina. The story
is declared by' critical authority to be
“one of the most brilliant, thrilling,
graceful and interesting in the realms of
fiction.” The language used is said to
be “forcible, chaste and eloquent; ’ the
plot “unique, ingenious and fascinat
ing,” and the characters are “bold
ly and artistically delineated.” Says
a contemporary; “The reader is held in
thrall from first to last by the hand of
this fair magician, and long after the
end 19 reached the spell is upon him or
her who has ventured within the domain
of genius. The whole narrative centers
around an unhappy marriage—an un
willing bride and a heartless husband.
The infernal horrors of such an unnatu
ral relation are depicted with a pen of
fire. The tragic denouement is wrought
with marvelous skill and a knowledge of
the heart and spirit which is simply won
derful.”
We are very glad to be able io quote
such flattering comments on this new
work of a Southern lady who, for the
first time we believe, enters the field of
letters to contest for fame and fortune.
That she has talent, a vivid and ardent
imagination, and the culture of mind so
imperatively necessary to insure success,
there can be no doubt. We congratu
late our fair Southern authoress upon
the encouragement she has received in
her first effort, and trust that she may
speedily enjoy the realization of her
ambition and aspirations.
The Flurry in Congress Over South
ern Claims.
As was to be expected, the partisan
press of the North has, with its usual
alacrity, seized ou the speeches of Repre*
sentatives Potter and Bragg, delivered in
the House last week ou the subject of
Southern war claims, and is vigorously
attempting to make party capital out of
them. It is hardly probable, however,
that their efforts will be crowned with
success. As suggested by the correspon
dent of the Baltimore Sun,there is really
nothing in this question of Southern
claims to cause discord between the
Northern and Southern Democrats, as it
is well known that the large majority
of Southern Democrats agree entirely
with Messrs. Potter and Bragg that a
stop ought to be put to the payment of
the w ar claims. Many of them have an
idea that both Mr. Potter and Bragg,
who are now being styled as among the
few Northern Democrats who are not
doughfaces, really made themselves a
little ridiculous. Instead of these two
gentlemen solemnly warning their South
ern Democratic associates that the war
claims business must be stopped, it
would have been much more to the point
had they denounced the lobbyists and
speculators from the North through
whose persistent exertions only at least
nine out of ten of those claims which are
passed ever get through. For years past
it has been a notorious fact that the
most indefatigable and most success
ful of the lobby claim agents are bitter
Republicans from the North, and into
their pockets goes by far the larger
proportion of the claims which are re
alized upon. There are, of course,
some extreme Southern men who would
like to have all these claims passed, just
as there are extreme men in the North
who would wish to see the South resting
perpetually under the ban of Federal
displeasure. But there is to-day in both
houses of Congress a majority of Demo
crats who would gladly commit to the
bottom of the sea the whole question of
Southern war claims. There are num
bers of prominent Southern Democrats
in both houses who refuse positively even
to introduce bills of this character, al
though generally nothing can be more
harmless than the introduction of such
bills. There are, says the correspondent
of the Sun, two propositions now pend
ing fur the -adoption of amendments to
the Constitution forbidding the payment
of these claims. One of them was sub
mitted by Mr. Conger, and the other by
Mr. Turney, of Pennsylvania. Neither
of these propositions is, however,
couched in terms proper or satisfactory.
It is understood that a new proposition
on this subject will be brought forward,
which will completely cover the ques
tion, and if it is not adopted by the
requisite two-thirds of both houses it
will not be for lack of Democratic sup
port.
The February Magazines.
We have received copies of the fol
lowing magazines for February :
The Eclectic. This well known publi
cation is, as usual, brim full of pleasing
and interesting matter. It contains, as a
frontispiece, a very pleasing and care
fully executed steel engraved portrait of
the Marquis of Lome, the new Gov
ernor-General of Canada. It forms a
desirable complement to Jlie similar por
trait of the Earl of Duffcrin, which ap
peared in the same magazine a }’ear or
two ago. The table of contents of the
February number is as follows: “The
Greatness of England,” by Gold win
Smith; “Prince Bismarck,” a highly
interesting summary of Dr. Busch’s
recent revalations by M. Emile de
Lavely; “Pictures from Venice,” by
Mrs. E. Lynn Linton. “Lost Literature
full of curious information; “French
Home Life, IV. In the Country;” “My
Walk,” a poem, by John Stuart Blackie;
“The Sun’s Long Steamers;” the con
cluding chapters of William Black’s
“Maclcod of Dare;” “The Old and the
New Ideals of Woman’s Education,” by
Mrs. Fawcett: “Backgammon Among
the Aztecs,” by E. P. Taylor, F. R. S.;
“Nuptua,” a poem; “Civilization and
Noise,” by James Sully; “Notes on Af
ghanistan and Her People;” “Observa
tion and Memory;” “Two Modern Japa
nese Stories;” “A Sad Story;” a bio
graphical sketch of the Marquis of
Lome; Literary Notes; Science and Art,
and Varieties.
The Dollar Magazine of Current Litera
ture. This is a very meritorious publi
cation of the American Book Exchange,
New York. It is similar in character to
the well-known Littell's Living Age and
Eclectic Magazine, containing, in a year’s
numliers. about one-third as much mat
ter as the former, and four fifths as
much as the latter. Each issue is of one
hundred and twenty-eight pages, and the
cheap price of subscription enables it to
place interesting reading and valuable
information within reach of all.
The National Quarterly Deviac, pub
lished quarterly by David A. Garlon A
Co., New York. The following is tlia
table of contents, which speaks for itself
and is a sufficient recommendation;
Ideal Commonwealths; The Battle-field
of England and Russia; Matter, Life and
Mind; War Indebtment, Its Limitations
and Dangers; Voltaire and the French
Revolution; The Ecclesiastical Question
iu Italy; Condition and Prospects of the
Southern States, II.; The Development
of Art, II.; Alzog’s Church History;
Bibliography; Reviews and Criticisms.
Some Republican organs are declaring
that the South is again in a “state of re
bellion” because the Alabama and Vir
ginia Legislatures have protested against
partisan Federal interference with State
Courts and elections. We suppose, re
marks the Courier Journal, that they
consider the substitute for Senator Ed
munds’ resolution on the amendments
offered by Senator Morgan Monday a
very bad case of “Southern rebellion”
also, but they will find it very difficult to
make out such u case, since the United
States Supreme (’ourt has duly enunciated
the same principles with regard to the rej
gulation of suffrage in the Cruikshank
ca3e. The fact is, if the Democratic idea
as to the powers of the General Govern
ment embodies rebellion, the United
States Supreme Court is likewise guilty
of rebellion.
The New Census Bill.
It is suggested that the stringent pro
visions of Representative Cox’s census
bill, intended to force from reluctant life
insurance and railroad companies correct
statements of their business, their assets,
and their liabilities, cannot be enforced.
Things that have been kept locked from
the public in defiance of State legislation
and the prying inquiries of legislative
commissions, armed with authority to
compel reluctant testimony, will not be
readily given up to the quest of Federal
authority. The New Y’ork Evening
Post facetiously observes, in regard to
Mr. Cox’s bill and censuses in general:
“All can understand, for example, why
a man should hide his personal property
from the tax gatherer, or why a person
of either sex should refuse to name
his or her occupation: but why peo
ple should tell absolutely useless lies,
should deny that which is and fabri
cate that which is not, when no earthly
advantage can be had from the prevari
cation, is less intelligible. Yet this is
precisely what occurs over and over
again in taking a census. Some seem to
regard questions pertaining to such
theme as a personal indignity. Others
account the whole business to be mere
vanity and vexation of spirit. When
Mr. Layard, the Oriental traveler, was
traveling in the East, he had occasion to
gather some statistics, and wrote to
friend, a Turkish Cadi, for his assistance.
The reply so forcibly illustrates the state
of mind often encountered in what we
are accustomed to think more highly
civilized communities, and is so perti
nent to the present discussion, that, al
though far from new', we venture to re
produce it. The missive runs iu part as
follows:
“My Illustrious Friend and Joy of my
Liver! The thing you ask of me is both
difficult and useless. Although I have
passed all my days in this place I have
neither counted the houses nor have I
inquired into the number of the inhabi
tants, and as to what one person loads
on his mules and another stores away in
the bottom of his ship, that is no busi
ness of mine. But, above all, as to the
previous history of this city, God only
knows the amount of dirt and coufusion
that the infidels may have eaten before
the coming of the sword of Islam. It
were unprofitable for us to inquire into
it Oh, my soul! oh, my lamb! Seek
not after the things that concern thee
not. Thou earnest uuto us and we wel
comed thee; go in peace. ”
“The Cadi would have relished Mr.
Cox’s census bill as little as some rail
road and insurance officers are likely to
do; unless, indeed, so far as those offi
cers are concerned, the practicability of
evasion is made so plain to them that, as
has often happened in similar junctures
before, instead of being opponents of the
measure, they should prove to be among
its warmest advocates.”

The Cipher Telegrams.
A Democratic member of the Potter
Committee, in conversation with the
Washington correspondent of the Balti
more Sun on Saturday, said that it might
be reasonably anticipated that the cipher
telegrams would place some of the peo
pie concerned in an awkward position.
The document would not, however, be
awkward for one side only. One object
of the investigation, and quite as impor
tant as any, will be to discover the
thieves who unlawfully abstracted the
telegrams and made them public. W’hen
this is done the next move—but with this
the committee, of course, have nothing
to do—will be to have them indicted in
the courts and brought to justice. There
seems to be no doubt in the minds of
jurists that the theft of these dis
patches is equally criminal with tam
pering with sealed letters. At any
rate, it is high time for a judicial de
cision on the subject. On this same
point there is a deal of curious inquiry
here as to the right of General Butler to
make conditions with the committee
before delivering the telegrams in his
possession. They certainly are not the
private property of General Butler, and
some think the committee should put
him on the stand and have him tell what
he knows about it. It is proposed in
some quarters that the committee shall
undertake a new' branch of investigation
•the allegations, once more brought to
the surface, that the money of the
Louisiana Lottery Company was a potent
agent in breaking up the Packard gov
ernment. If the committee should con
clude to go into this matter it will not
have much time for the investigation of
the cipher telegrams. Such an inquiry
would be useless at any rate.
Tiie Indian Bureau Transfer Ques
tion.—The joint select committee of
Congress to which was submitted the
proposition to transfer the Indian
Bureau to the War Department took a
vote on Saturday and agreed to disagree.
There w r as a tie vote upon party lines,
the Democratic Senators and Repre
sentatives voting yea and the Republi
cans nay. By an argreement amongst
the members there will be two reports
on the subject, that opposing the trans
fer being the majority report. Both re
ports are to be made on the same day.
Senator Saunders, Chairman of the
Committee, who will make the majority
report, is understood to favor the idea
of authorizing the President, in his dis
cretion, to transfer the control of re
calcitrant or belligerent tribes to the
War Department, but not the affairs of
the entire bureau. It is likely that the
Senate and House will not agree in re
gard to this subject, and that the short
ness of the session will prevent action in
the premises. Meantime the barbarities
of our Indian policy will still prevail.

Washington, January 28.—The various
Assistant Commissioners to the Paris Expo-
position, who were assigned different de
partments of the Exposition upon whieh
to report to this government, . have
nearly all returned to this coun
try, and are preparing their reports
for submission to the Commissioner Gen
eral, Governor McCormick, to be by him
handed to the Secretary of State. Govcrnc
McCormick has an office at the Department
of State, where he is closing up the official
duties connected with the Exposition. Allef
the reports of the Assistant Commissioners
on the different branches of the great Ex
position will be very interesting, especially
the reports on agriculture, which it is pro
posed to make very complete and exhaust
ive.
There is no probability of the proposition
to pay Southern mail contractors previous
to the war fifty per cent, of their claims
being favorably acted on by the present
Congress. The deuouement concerning
these claims at the last session of Congress
weakened the contractors chances consid
erably, while the proceedings recently had
in Congress on this subject puts the quietus
to all claims of a Southern character, what
soever may be their merits. The present
Congress, it may be safely put down, will
pass favorably but very few claims of any
kind.
There has been within the past few day
a considerable interchange of opinion among
Southern and Northern members of the
Democratic party as to the proposition that
has been made pretty generally within the
past six or eight months that the South
should have the second place on the next
Presidential ticket. The general result
arrived at, though there has been no formal
conclusion, is that it would be unwise and
Impolitic in the party as a whole to carry
out that proposition. This is the opinion
both of leading Southern and Northern
Democrats. The fact Is recognized on
all sides that it is for the good of
the party in the next cam
paign to give no possible chance
for the bloody-shirt North to yell that the
ex-Confederate is demanding the control of
the country. Everything seems to point
out that the next Democratic campaign will
be more wisely managed by the party
leaders than heretofore.
Democratic Senators caucussed to-day on
Edmunds' substitute to the amendment for
the House joint resolution prohibiting Con
gress paying war claims. The substitute
proposes that all Presidential pardons to
Confederates be revoked; prohibits State
Legislatures giving even artificial limbs to
Confederate soldiers, and would stop by
law the trial of the Arlington case. It can
not pass, but shows the animus of the Radi
cal leaders towards the South. Another
caucus will be held, and some method adop
ted for meeting Edmunds in a proper spirit.

MIDNIGHT TELEGRAMS
ADDITIONAL CONGRESSIONAL

The New York Times, alluding to
Senator Blaine’s speech on the navy, says
his “propensity toward false rhetoric
sometimes betrays him into making state
ments which are not altogether true.”
Not “sometimes” only, but every time
when falsehood serves his purpose better
truth.
The Butler-Corbin Contest.—A
Washington special says: “Some sur
prise has been eaused among the stal
wart Republicans of the Senate by a
declaration from Mr. Blaine that he will
not vote to unseat Mr. Butler, of South
Carolina. It is rumored that Air. Ed
munds is of the same way of thinking.
It is believed that this determination
arises from the generally conceded fact
that it will not be possible to get Butler
out between now and the 4th of March,
and if the leading Republicans counte
nance the attempt they will set a pre
cedent by which the Democrafs may un
seat Kellogg after the 4th of March.
Senator Edmunds said a day or two ago
that if the Democrats should undertake
to eject Kellogg w hen they obtain con
trol of the Senate he will make it so hot
for them that they will be glad to aban
don the attempt.”

Democratic Meeting in Scriyen
County.
A meeting of the Democratic party of
Scriven county was held this day in Sylvania
for the purpose of selecting delegates to
represent the county in the Congressional
Convention to assemble in Savannah, Ga.,
on the 4th of February nert, to nominate a
candidate to fill the vacancy occasioned by
the death of the lamented Hon. Julian Hart-
rfdge.
On motion of Judge E. B. Gross, Judge
John H. Hull was called to the Chair, and
W. L. Mathews, Jr., requested to act as
Secretary.
On motion of Hon. John C. Dill, It was
resolved that six delegates be elected by the
county to cast the vote of the county In
said convention: that such of said delegates
as might attend be authorized to cast the
vote of the county in said convention: that
each delegate be allowed to choose his own
alternate in case he does not attend.
It was further resolved that said delegates
go uninstructed.
The following delegates were then elect
ed, to wit: Hon. John C. Dell, Hon. George
R. Black, Col. J. Lawton Singellton, Thos.
W. Oliver, Jr., Esq., Hon. Virgil H. Burns,
and Wm. L. Mathews, Jr.
On motion, it was resolved that a copy

of Georgia and Florida through the lands
of the United States along 6aid canal. Re
ferred to the Committee on Public Lands.
The Committee on Public Buildings and

national capital to a more central portion

organizations protesting against the viola

bring them to the United States. The act
is to take effect from and after the first of

THE EUROPEAN PLAGUE.
London, January 28.—A Berlin dispatch
to the Jhst, declaring that Italy has suddenly
objected to the course of Austria and Ger
many, in hindering intercourse with Russia,
is extremely improbable. Italy herself, hav
ing taken precautionary measures against
infection by ordering a rigorous inspection
and disinfection of vessels from southern
Russian ports, is not likely to en
deavor to interfere with “ the ac
tion of Germany and Austria in that
direction. The Russians complain of the
stir made about the plague, especially of
Germany’s action in making sanitary pre
cautions a sort of international affair. They
assert that all proper precautions will be
taken by them, and as proof, the efficacy of
the measures already employed point to the
fact that since the outbreak of the disease
it has made no progress beyond the places
where it first made its appearance.
# WASHINGTON ITEMS.
Washington, January 28.—The total
amount of the legislative, executive and ju
dicial appropriation bill, reported from the
House Committee to-day, is $15,155,565,

tion last year, and $941,636 less than the
department estimates. The bill, as report
ed, transfers the Coast and Geodetic survey
from the Treasury to the Interior Depart
ment, and reduces estimates for the sup
port of life saving stations from $20,000 to
$6,500, and repeals The second and third
sections of the act organizing life saving
stations.
Ex-Governor Pinchback has been tender

Washington, January 28.—The Senate
Committee on Military Affairs heard to-day
Captain Bromley, Chief «inluance Officer of

Senator Maxey’s bill for the purchase of
property adjacent to San Antonio arsenal,
and subsequently reported the bill favorably
to the Senate.
The minority report of the committee in
vestigating the omce of the Public Printer
exculpates that official from all charges and
irregularities, and says his work is executed
under the present system at reasonable cost

REPORTS OF NATIONAL BANKS.
Washington, January 28.—In view of the
fact that the 1st of January is a legal holi
day, many national banks are inquiring of
the Comptroller of the Currency whether
the last report of their condition may not be
dated December 31st, as the five reports re
quired by law have already been called for
In 1S7S. ' The Comptroller desires that the
date of the last return shall in all cases be
January 1st, so as to be included in the year
1879.

of the B’nai B’rith was opened with prayer
by Mr. Levin, of Charleston, S. C. A tele
gram from San Francisco was read, earnestly
protesting against the contemplated change
in the endowment law.
Court Costs and the Law’s Delay.
—The Governor of Connecticut in a re
cent communication to its Legislature
recommends a new adjustment of the
costa-bills in legal proceedings. “Let
them,” says he, “be fixed in some way
so that costs shall become a spur to
diligence and not a premium to delay.”
The Albany Laic Journal in expressing
the hope that the New Y’ork law makers
will take lesson and heart of the recom
mendation omits, however, to devise a
plan of amelioration. This omission the
World supplies by suggesting that if an
answer be not timely filed the defendant
who delays it shall not have any costs,
even when he ultimately prevails:
neither ir he ever adjourns an}' pro
ceeding to the suit. Also, that for suits
tried within six months after their com
mencement the costs shall be left as
now, but that they shall diminish ac
cording to lapses of time and delays in
hearing. Also, that any plaintiff who is
not ready when his antagonist is shall
forfeit all costs aud disbursements.

THE FIRST KENTCCKT COLORED APPOINT
MENT.
Cincinnati, January 28.—J. D. McLeod
colored, has been appointed government
storekeeper at Covington, Ky., being the
first mau of his race who ever received an
appointment of the kind in that State.
•a conciliatory nomination.
Washington, January 28.—The nomina
tiou of Strobach as Postmaster at Mont
gomery is understood to be intended by the
President as a concilitary movement to
wards the uniting of opposing factions of
the Republican party of Alabama.
THE TELLER COMMITTEE.
Charleston, January 28.—The investiga
tion was continued to day, and testimony
was presented similar to that heretofore
given. The committee will probably close
its inquiries to-morrow.
FAMINE IN EGYPT.
Cairo, January 28.—News has reached
here of a serious famine in Upper Egypt,
and two parties of Englishmen have been
sent from here with relief.
Senator Gordon Defends Governor
Colquitt.
Baltimore Gazette.
“Senator,” said the correspondent of
the Gazette to-day to General Gordon, of
Georgia, “what is the meaning of this
controversy in your State in reference to
the signing of certain railroad bonds by
your Governor? Has he been guilty of
any wrong?”
**Wrong,” said the General, with some
warmth. “I will leave you to judge of
that. Mr. Hill, who is *an able lawyer,
in an elaborate argument before the Gov
ernor, urged him to indorse the bonds.
General Toombs, one of the most pro
found lawyers in the country, and Air.
Stephens, who were not interested in the
case at all, and many of the leading men
of the State were emphatic in the
opinion that the law compelled the
Governor to indorse them. I urged him
to sign them. The Speaker of the House
and President of the Senate of the Leg
islature which passed the act in question
and its leading members joined in the
same opinion. No, sir, the Governor
has done his duty aud only his duty. The
committee of the last Legislature, after
nearly forty days of investigation, at the
request of * the* Governor, and after sift
ing every particle of testimony and
every rumor and every insinuation by
every enemy of the Governor, fully ex *
onerated him in every particular, and
this committee was composed of thirteen
as good, able and impartial men as there
were in tbe Legislature.”
Were there not majority aud minority
reports?”
“Oh, yes; but both reports were equal
ly emphatic in pronouncing all the in
sinuations against the Governor vile and
malignant slanders. Tne truth is that
the 'Governor indorsed the bonds no
sooner than he was compelled to do so
to save the road from sacrifice and the
State from a violation of its own pledge.
He would have signed them just when
he did. if Mr. Murphy and the rest of us
who advised him had never been heard
from at all. His hesitation and delay and
final action were due solely to his sense
of duty to the State. This I know from
full conferences with* him long before
the bonds were indorsed.”
‘Will this question be the cause of any
division of parties in your State?”
‘Oh, no; nnt at all. There is nothing
in it, absolutely nothing, to cause or jus
tify or excuse any breaking of parties or
the formation of new parties.”
Hon. Judah P. Benjamin, according
to a London correspondent, occupies an
elegant suit of law chambers, and has a
practice which yields him one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars annually, for
which reason he would decline a
Judgeship, which only pays twenty-five
thousand dollars. Air. Benjamin is repre
sented as saying that he could easily secure
seat in the House of Commons, several
constituencies having given him very
flattering invitations to represent them,
but he has no desire to go into Parlia
ment for the same reason that he would
decline a Judgeship—it involves too
many sacrifices. Air. Benjamin has a
house in Paris and always spends his
summer vacations there.

Ashburton Webster, the only son of
the late Col. Fletcher Webster and Caro
line S. Webster, and the grandson and
last male descendant of Daniel Webster,
died Wednesday morning in New York_-
His disease was consumption, following
on a cold contracted at the burning of
his country residence, “Webster Place,”
at Marshfield, Mass., a year ago. Mr.
Wei is ter was a resident of Boston, but
went to New York for medical treatment
last November.
ANOTHER STANLEY EXPEDITION.
London, January 38.—It Is stated that the
steamer Albion has been chartered to take
Henry M. Stanley and party to Zanzibar for
another exploring expedition In Africa.
Just as we expected. John Sherman
has left out of his book the greenback
speech he made in Ohio some years ago,
in which he vociferously remarked that
to pay the bonds in gold was repudia
tion. This is just like John. However,
is probable that some enemy wrote the
speech, and that the typical American
sneak delivered it during one of his won
derful freaks of forgetfulness.—Atlanta
