TAPPING THE W IKES.
A bill has been introduced in the Penn
sylvania Legislature to abolish capital
punishment and substitute therefor im
prisonment for life at hard labor.
The Teller Committee wound up its in
vestigation ia Charleston yesterday. Colored
Democrats testified that a large number of
Democrats of their race were in Charleston,
and they had been frequently assaulted by
colored Republicans.
The Bulgarian assembly of notables to
elect a Bulgarian Prince will meet on the
22d of February.
In the Admiralty division of the High
Court of Justice in London the motion to
arrest the United States frigate and her
cargo for salvage was argued. It was finally
dismissed by the court, on the ground that
the case did not come under the jurisdiction
ol the court.
The Senate yesterday passed a bill to in -
crease the pension of Dr. Mary E. Walker
to twenty dollars per month.
Senator Christiancy has been nominated
and confirmed as Minister to Peru.
United States Marshal Jack Wharton, of
Louisiana, continues making arrests in vari
ous parishes of parties charged with a vio
lation of the election laws against w hom
true bills have been found by the United
States grand jury. Twenty-nine prisoners
have arrived, and one hundred more are ex
pected in a few days.
The Republique Francaixe, Gambettu’s or
gan, says those w ho use MacMalion's resig
nation as a scare-crow are mistaken. France
does not desire a change in her President,
but at the same time does not fear any such
thing. The country is determined to have
unconditional resistance to the popular will.
The Senate has passed a bill for promot
ing the efficiency of the corps of chaplain-
in the navy. It prohibits any one less than
twenty-five nor more than thirty-five years
of age from being appointed chaplain, and
prescribes their relative rank ana pay.
The Assistant Treasurer of the United
States will pay the February interest on
government bonds *iu gold, as was done in
January. It will amount to about $0,000
000, but the department does not expect
there will be any more demand for gold
Over $25,000,000 of coin obligations have
been presented for payment during the cur
rent mouth, but the stock of coin in the
Treasury has steadily increased.
The House Commitiee on Appropriations
have reported all the general appropriation
bills except the sundry civil and deficiency
bills. About $22,0U0,00U will be Involved in
the two. The river and harbor bill is still
under consideration.
The Chairman of the Senate Committee
on Finance has a number of letters from
leading tobacco dealers in Baltimore, ii
which they take the ground that a simple
reduction of the tax will not ineud matters,
and that manufacturers are more interested
In the permanency of the tax than in its re
duction. They think that a total abolition
of the tax is the only thing which will stop
agitation of the question. Mr. Hunt, Presi
deni of the Merchants’ Tobacco Company,
of Boston, took the same position.
The Potter Committee, in its investiga
tion of the cipher telegrams yesterday, ex
amined W. T. McLellan, Assistant Chief of
the Warrant Division in 1876. He recognized
several of the dispatches which appeared iu
the Tribune pamphlet as belonging to the
Oregon ciphers. He knew nothing of the
Florida dispatches. Assistant Postmaster
General Brady produced several dispatches
sent by Judge Tyner to Tallahassee, and re
plies by him (Brady; which were addressed
to John Wing, Washington. They reported
the progress of the Republican party in the
Florida election. Tyner produced the tele
grams to Foster and Chandler asking for
money, but he said they referred to buying
up votes and a Democratic organ in Louisi
ana. Whitelaw Reid will testify to-day.
Pope Leo’s late encyclical is being much
discussed. The London Standard's Rome
cone6pondent says of it: “It is a great
subject of discussion to-day. Much of it
gives reason to beHeve that there is to be a
great change from Pius the Ninth’s policy.
Socialists, Communists and Nihilists are
anathematized as a death dealing plague
that is creeping into all fibres of human
society.”
It is reported that the Luke Fidler and
Cameron collieries, in Pennsylvania, have
resumed work at former wages. The for
mer were offered these wages, but refused
to accept unless the same offer was made
the latter.
The Hartford Times thinks that Con
gressmeu, to gain a character for states
manship and honest dealing, should not
hesitate to investigate pension bills, all
the claims that are presented for its con
sideration, and all bills asking for sub
sidies. If a pension bill is not just—if it
is in the interest of claim agents rather
than the soldiers, it should be defeated.
If a claim is just, whether it comes from
the North or South, it should be paid,
and the cry of rebel claims should
frighten no honest Congressman. But
every member should carefully examiue
and understand each case. To vote for
claim bills carelessly, or without positive
information that they are just, without
regard to the section of the country from
whence they came, is wrong. To vote
against a claim because it comes from
the South, and for no other reason, is
cowardly*. To vote for a pension bill,
because it is a pension bill, and for no
other reason except the fear that the cry*
will lie raised that the soldiers are abused
by its defeat, is equally cowardly; and
what is as bad, it is jobbery.
Conflicting reports as to the finding of
A. T. Stewart's bones bid fair to rival
those which we have from time to time
received in connection with the Charley
Ross case. But a few day's ago it was
positively stated that possession of the
body had been regained. Now the New
York Tribune says it has information
derived from the most direct sources
which warrants it in stating in the most
positive terms that the body of the late
A. T. Stewart has not been recovered by
Mrs. Stewart or Judge Hilton, or any
of their agents. The Tribune says the
only clew now being followed is tbe
search for “Bull” Kelly, who is believed
by the police officials to have been the
driver of the wagon in which it is sus
pected the body was conveyed across
the Hoboken Ferry to New Jersey.
Kelly has never been seen in New York
since the night of the robbery.
Referring to the preponderance of
Irishmen among British Colonial Gover
nors, the London Time* remarks:
“When Irishmen can be found who, to
sound sense, large information and lib
eral views, add rich humor and unfailing
good temper, there are none better fitted
to lead a nation w*ith a silken rein.”
It is stated that the manufacturers of
New York, representing several hundred
millions of trade annually, are about
holding a meeting at the Cooper institute
to co-operate with the Mexican excur
sionists who axe having such a warm
welcome in Mexico.
The Hue and Cry Over Southern
Claims—Edmunds* Malignancy.
For a long time past the Radical press
and leaders, in their efforts to excite dis
cord and fire the Northern heart, have
been raising the cry that the South
would, when the Democracy came »
power, flood the couutry with all sorts
and kinds of claims growing out of the
war, and would endeavor to enrich itself
at the public expense, by drawing mil
lions of dollars from the Treasury. The
presentation of a claim for damages in
flicted by the wanton destruction by the
Federal army, during the civil conflict, of
that time-honored and classic institution
of learning, William and Mary College, in
Virginia—the alma mater of Washington,
Jefferson, Madison, Tyler and many of
the most brilliant statesmen and patriots
this country ever produced, even in the
grand old days of the past, wh :n states
manship and patriotism were appreciated
—the application by a Southern Union
man for indemnity for property taken
from him by his so called friends, togeth-
r with one or two other cases of very
similar import, have lately served to give
this matter a fresh impetus.
As a result thereof, and to put an end
to the outer}*, the Democratic House has
adopted a resolution forbidding the pay
ment of nearly all Southern claims of
ever}* description. Surely one would
think that such action should forever
satisfy the mind of any reasoning man
that no depletion of the Treasury would
ever be countenanced by the Democracy,
inasmuch as such determination will pre
vent the payment of certain claims which
are manifestly equitable and just. Many
of these claims are for private personal
property taken during the war from in
dividuals without the slightest jus
tification, and which was sold,
and the proceeds turned into the
Treasury—property not contraband
of war, and the seizure of which can
not be vindicated under the most liberal
construction of tbe laws which govern
legitimate warfare in these days of
civilization. Wheu it is remembered
that millions upon millions of dollars of
tbe people’s money Lave been expended
by Radical Congresses for the enrich
ment of a few favored individuals in
the North; that notoriously corrupt
rings and cliques, fostered and encour
aged by the National Executive and the
National Legislature, have, in the late
past, made the name “American citizen" a
synonym the world over for all that
is base; that legislation has for nearly
tw*o decades been directed to the making
one section of the country rich at the
expense of the impoverishment of all
the others; that the ink is hardly dry
upon the signature of Mr. Ha} es to the
arrearages of pensions law which so
lately passed Congress, and which is
distribute hundreds of millions of dollars
of public money among citizens of the
North: when all these things are consider
ed most certainly it cannot be a very
great crime for the country to pay out
money from the National Treasury to
few Southern men, when that money is
the result of the unlawful sale of their
own private property. Yet a Demo
cratic House has decided that this
shall not be done, and while
such action, under ordinary circum
stances, would be most flagrantly un
just, yet, for the sake of expediency
and not to jeopardize the interests of
the whole country by giving the enemies
of the Democratic party (in the success
of which all hope for the future of the
republic lies) an opportunity to bias
pbeme, the injustice will be not only
submitted to, but will be very generally
indorsed by the Democracy of the land
But broad and sweeping as is the
action of the Democratic members of
the lower House on this subject, it is not
sufficiently broad for that venomous
viper, Edmunds, United States Senator
from Vermont. A resolution simply for
bidding the payment of all Southern
claims will not l>egin to satisfy his
malignant cravings, lie, therefore, has
proposed a substitute, which not only
proposes to prevent honest and just
demands being acceded to, but which
provides for the revocation of all
pardons heretofore granted “ex-rebels,
for the passage of a law to stop all such
appeals to the majesty of justice as is
shown in the Arlington case, and even
to prevent State Legislatures from grant
ing artificial limbs to one-legged Con
federate soldiers. In a word, he wishes
the people of the South to be reduced to
the condition of slaves and serfs, with no
rights of freemen, simply hewers of
wood and drawers of water to their
Northern fellow-citizens, and to be re
garded as traitors and enemies of the
government if they should presume to
furnish a wooden leg to their maimed
and battle-scarred heroes. Could devil
ish malignity proceed further? Surely
the soul of that old Puritan, Cotton
Mather, who wished to capture and sell
as slaves in .the Barbadoes for “rumme
and sugar" William Penn and his follow
ers, in order that great gain might be
made for the special favorities and chosen
servants of the Lord,” among which he
was so shining a luminary, is still active
ly marching on among the green hills
and mountains of “Vairmount.”
In this day and generation, however,
such a diabolically malignant measure as
as that of Edmunds’ cannot become a
law. Not even a Congress composed of
Radical Bourbons would dare pass it. The
overwhelming defeat which Grantism
and Radicalism received in 1376 proves
this, and besides it would be stamped
with popular disfavor for two main
reasons. One, and the most powerful by
far of these, is that since nearly every
single Southern State pays more money
into the United States Treasury than the
whole of New England combined, to
thus paralyze and cripple the South
would seriously touch the pockets of the
Northern taxpayer—an unanswerable ob
jection. Another, and more important,
though much less regarded, is that
such proscription as is here aim
ed at the South would be
a step which would forever sap the in
tegrity of the republic and destroy po
litical liberty throughout the land. It
would be in the nature of a bloody in
struction, which, being learned, would
return to plague the inventor. Destroy
constitutional and personal liberty in the
South, and not many years would elapse
before despotism and tyranny would also
oppress the North. For these reasons Ed
munds’ proposed substitute is doomed to
failure. It will amount to nothing more
than a discharge of bitter and venomous
Radical bile, and will only serve as a
monument to the contemptible littleness
of soul and miserable narrowness of
mind of the eminent Puritan and philan
thropist who is entitled to the unenviable
credit of its conception.

What is known as the Mitchell cotton
claim, now before the Senate, is for cot
ton seized by the Federal army on its
march through Georgia, the proceeds of
which, about $128,000, went into the
United States Treasury. The claimant,
Warren Mitchell, is a resident of Louis.-
vilie, and entered the Confederate lines
The Russian Plague.
Daily advices from abroad show that
there is great alarm in Europe over the
spread of that dreaded scourge, the
plague, notwithstanding the very strin
gent measures taken to prevent its mak
ing headway. Germany and Austria
have determined to organize an inter
national commission to guard their fron
tiers against an advance of the disease
from Russia, and this latter country
claims that she has taken every precau
tion to confine it within bounds.
The history of this disease is as fol
lows: It ready originated at the seat of
war in Turkey, and was due primarily to
the huddling of large masses of men to -
gether, and the neglect of sanitary con
ditions, and secondarily to hospital neg
lect and the leaving of thousands of men
and horses to rot unburied on the fields
of battle. A malignant type of typhus
fever appeared about the time of the
sieges of Plevna and of Kars. After the
signing of the treaty of peace the fever
continued to rage among the Russian
corps of occupation around Adrianople,
and began to change from the endemic
to an epidemic form and to take on very
malignant symptoms. Dr. Zoiekauer
and Professor Botkin, both experts,
have pronounced the present dis
ease to be the plague in the worst
form, and they rest their opinion in part
on the hideous mortality, 90 per cent, of
all cases resulting fatally. About one-
third of the Russian doctors at the seat
of the disease have died, and young
medical students have to be sent to take
their places. The plague, so far, is
spreading chiefly North and East, and
has not yet approached alarmingly the
German and Austrian lines.
Commenting on the possibility of this
country being afflicted with the terrible
scourge, the Baltimore Gazette remarks:
“There is a certain comfort in the fact
that the Atlantic Ocean stretches its two
thousand miles of salt water between
this country and the plague. It may,how
ever, be worth while for the health offi
cers iu this country to bestow a little
extra attention upon ships that arrive
here from Baltic ports, for the plague
has been scattered in Russia chiefly l>y
the flight of the inhabitants from place
to [dace in panic stricken effort to escape
the pestilence, the seeds of which they
carry with them and scatter by the way.
Passengers containing the germs of the
disease might cause a dreadful havoc on
shipboard, and make it a hotbed of the
plague before it reached our shores. We
do not mean to say that there is any serious
danger of this, but it is well worth while
for the health officers to be especially
vigilant as to shipping coming from the
Baltic ports.”
The Exterminated Cii.evkn.nes.—
It may be well, says the Baltimore
Gazette, to know what General Sherman
thinks of the Indian question, what Carl
Schurz thinks, what Phil Sheridan
thinks, but it is also well for the country
to know what, the Indians themselves
think. The Cheyennes have given in
their answer. It is that they have been
defrauded of their lands by treaties never
meant to be kept; that they have been
swindled by agents, fed with rotten
meat and defrauded with rotten blan
kets, cursed with the white man s whisky
and his diseases, goaded into desperation
by wrong of all kinds and treated with
renewed injustice when they sought re
dress, until they felt at last that the time
had come to die, so they chose their
ground, sang their death songs and pass
ed beyond the reach of the white man’s
loving care^and protection. Even Mi.
Curl Schurz ought to feel some misgiv
ings about the success of his “Indian
policy. ”
If it is really true, as is rumored, re
marks the St. Louis RepuUican, that the
commonwealth of Virginia advanced
one hundred and twenty thousand dollars
to the Federal Government in 1790 to aid
in the construction of the national Capi
tol, and has never been repaid, the return
of the loan now, with compound inter
est, would go a long ways towards liqui
dating the heavy debt that State is groan
ing under. If this is a true discovery,
the bell punch may be dispensed with
forthwith.
Justice in New Jersey.—Nine pub
lic functionaries of Warren county, N. J.,
have been convicted of malfeasance in
office and sentenced to hard labor in the
State prjson for periods of from one to
sixteen years each. Forty-five years is
the aggregate of imprisonment inflicted
on all the corrupt officials thus far found
guilty. Conspiracy to cheat and defraud
the town, and forgery to help out the
purposes of the conspiracy, are the
crimes of which all these men have been
found guilty.
The London Times, in a recent leader,
spoke of the Hebrew as a “language
which possesses hut a single volume of
literature. ” A correspondent points out
that there are ten thousand Hebrew
books in the library of the British 3Iu-
seum, and that the catalogue of the He
brew books and manuscripts in the Bod
leian Library is a small quarto eight
inches thick. It might have been thought
that an Oriental language was one of the
things the present editor of the Thunder
er knew something about.
The pay of the officers of the navy on
the active list is more than $3,822,000
annually, while the pay of petty officers
and seamen is $2,300,000. Congress has
limited the number of men in the navy
to 7,500, and for these men there are
2,020 officers, or one officer tc a little
over three men. The Naval Academy
adds to the number of officers about
fifty each year. There is plainly room
for reform iu the navy.
Senator-elect Matt Carpenter is not so
much of a stalwart as he was. In his
Milwaukee reception speech a few days
ago he said: “A chief duty and a chief
means of increasing the prosperity of
tbe country is that the existing differences
in the South he healed. Bayonet rule
has had its run as long as it was useful
and civil government is now the proper
instrumentality to use in dealing with the
affairs of the South.”
An Indianapolis newspaper is publish
ing sketches of the members of the In
diana Legislature, and the fact is re
vealed that nearly one-half of them were
bom in Ohio. Whereupon the Balti
more Gazette remarks: “From this it
would appear that the surplus greatness
of Ohio is worked off threugh a tail race
which empties into Indiana.”
The New Tork Hotel.
We call attention to the advertisement
of the New York Hotel, which appears
in this morning’s issue. This house has
been long and favorably known to the
Southern traveling public, with which
it has always been a special favorite, on
account of the reputation its former pro
prietor, Mr. Hiram Cranston, made for
his kindly feelings toward, and generous
treatment of, Southerners during the
war, as well as just immediately after
the conflict—a time, indeed, when to
find a friendly welcome in New York
at all was a rare occurrence. A
work is in preparation detailing interest
ing events identified with the long exist
ence of the house, and which will be
filled with narratives told of its late ge
nial host.
On the 17th of September, 1877, Mr.
Cranston died, and his nephew, Sir. J.
H. Cranston, surviving partner, con
tinues business as proprietor, a position
he now fills with credit to himself and
infinite satisfaction to the patrons of the
hotel. All the pleasant features of Mr.
Hiram Cranston’s rtyime are maintained,
including “sn_.e” dinner at six o’clock,
served in the good old style of days that
are gone, but which are so pleasantly
recalled in connection with life at the
New York Hotel In years past Presi
dents Franklin Pierce, and Tyier
and Polk and General Scott,
were regular patrons of the hotel,
and other distinguished and well-
known visitors have been Revcrdy John
son, Beverly Tucker, Jefferson Davis.
Gen. Beauregard, Admiral Semmes, Col.
Jerome Bonaparte, Prince Bonaparte and
Princess Clothilde, Slidell, Gen. Robert
£. Lee and Robert Toombs. These visi
tors were nearly all of them personal
friends of the late Hiram Craaston, and
many a time and oft he entertained them
at his own private table, a courtesy
appreciated, for he was an epicure,
and authority on all matters ap
pertaining to gastronomy. The
regular patrons now, among thous
ands, are Senator Grover, Gov. Wade
Hampton Hon. Caleb Cashing, Gen.
Chapman, Gov. Swan, of Maryland;
Speaker Randall, Gov. Curtin, of Pa.;
Gen. Preston, S. C.; Gen. Preston, of
Ivy.; Senator Johnson, of Va.; Hon.
John Jay, Hon. Geo. H. Pendleton, of
Ohio; Gov. Hendricks, of Ind.; Hon. J.
T. Wallace, of Maryland; Gen. Beaure
gard, Gen. Early, Gen. Stockton, of N.
J.; Gov. Price, of N. J.; Gov. Geo. B.
McClellan, of N. J.; Gov. Seymour,
Senator Thos. F. Bayard, of Delaware:
Gen. Joe Johnston, Senator Gordon,Ga.;
Senator Lamar, Miss.; Hon. Hester Cly-
mer, of Pa.; Hon. Jno. W Caldwell, of
Kv.; Hon. Wm. P. Caldwell, of Tenn.;
Gen. Gibson, of New Orleans.
It is needless to comment further on
the excellence of this house, or the at
tractions it offers visitors from our sec
tion. Thousands of Southerners who
have made it their New York headquar
ters since the war can bear witness to its
superior accommodations. It is, in a
word, one of the best conducted and
most pleasanl houses in the United States.
The Rapid Sale of the Four Per
. Cents.
The new four per cent, bonds are be
ing sold off at a rate the rapidity of
which is declared to be phenomenal.
Within a period of two weeks not less
than $70,000,000 of these bonds have
been subscribed for, and it is considered
highly probable that by the 30th of June
next there will not be a very large
amount of them left unsold for the
new syndicate to dispose of. One of the
most noticeable facts in connection with
this large and rapid demand for these
bonds is that they have been bought on
their own merits, and without any out
side influence. The most powerful
syndicate which could be formed would
have been unable to have pushed them
with more vigor than they have pushed
themselves.
This rush for the four percents isattri
butable mainly to two causes. It shows,
in the first place, that the credit of the gov
ernment stands high, and that investors
have no fear of financial agitation and
national bankruptcy. This too, be it
remembered, in face of the passage of the
famous so-called “pick pocket" silver
bill, which forces a man—as Secretary
Sherman and the other gold worshippers
have so repeatedly toid us—to take ninety
cents for a dollar.
In the next place the demand is at
tributed to the large disbursements of in
terest and dividends made in January,
which, added to the uninvested surplus
of other years, make the amount of non
interest bearing capital in the country
very great. Hence any such opportunity
for safe investment as is here presented
is eagerly sought for.
The issue of the four per cents, so far
amounts in all to $168,200,000, and, ac
cording to an estimate of Mr. David A.
Wells, the amount of idle capital in the
land is so enormous that it will
require more than the authorized num
ber of these bonds for its absorption.
From this the inference is naturally
drawn that the large residue which is
not able to find investment in the four
per cents, cannot be kept much longer in
abeyance, and we may reasonably ex
pect in a short time to see capital forced
out of its hiding places by the instinct of
self-preservation, and compelled to take
an active part in the business and enter
prise of the country.
The Teller Outrage Committee is not
a Radical success. Thus far it has been
great cry and little wool. For a few
hundred dollars Jim Redpath could have
been hired to write up more and better
bloody-shirt campaign matter than is
likely to crop out from this expensive
experiment
The New York Sun calls attention to
the fact that Grantism is gaining in the
United States Senate. Not one of the
new or rc-clected Republican Senators is
a pronounced antagonist of Grantism and
the third term. Conkling, Cameron and
Logan are all professed Grant men.
Platt, of Connecticut, “a third-rate poli
tician of no personal importance,” may
be for Grant or not ; he has not yet de
fined his position. Carpenter, of Wiscon
sin, and Jones, of Nevada, are Grant
men, ready to maintain that the Repub
Mean party has sunk so low that it has
only one single man who can meet its
requirements as a candidate for Presi
dent. The Sun says, *‘ these signs cer
tainly indicate a strong Grantist tenden
cy iu the Republican party,” and con
cludes as follows:
‘If there is among the Republicans
any considerable number of men who
are really against the third term, they
must either show their faith by their
works, without waiting in supine inac
tion much longer, or else they will have
to surrender unconditionally at an early
day, and henceforward forever hold their
tongues, except in praise of the thing

Finley's case. It will finally be disposed of
by the committee on next Wednesday. The
majority favor unseating Bisbee, and will so
report to the House, though the late date of
the report may prevent action by the House
before the expiration of Congress. Finley

THE TOBACCO TAX AGITATION.
Washing ion, January 29.—The Chair
man ot the Senate Committee on Finance
has a letter from a number of leading to
bacco dealers in Baltimore, in which they
concur in the statements already made to
the committee, to the effect that the in
terests of the dealers generally are much
more concerned in a permanent fixed rate
of tax than in any reduction of the rate
and that they do not believe that any abate
ment of the tax short of its total abolition
will have an effect to prevent further agita
tion of the subject.
The Finance Committee, after hearing
several delegations in favor of the House
bill now before that committee, which pro
vides for reducing the tax from twenty-four
to sixteen cents per pound, invited Mr.
Hunt, President of the Merchants Tobacco
Company, of Boston, to state his views,
*which are referred to in the foregoing com
munication. He stated to the committee
that those persons in the tobacco
trade who ask for a reduction
the present rate of tax have al
leged, first, that such a reduction
will largely curtail the use and consumption
of tobacco in an unmanufactured state
second, that the consumption of manu
factored tobacco will be largely increased
by the proposed reduction in the rate of
tax; third, that the effect of such a reduc
tion upon the planters, of raisers of
tobacco, will be to enhance the value of
their product, and finally that Congress
should settle this tax questiou in order to
restore trade to its normal condition.
The members of the committee say that
Mr. Hunt answered these arguments with a
plain statement of facts, and concluded by
saying there are only two ways to prevent
agitation for a reduction of tbo tobacco tax
—first, for Congress to remove the entire
tax; second, for the tobacco manufacturers
to remain at home and stop talking about
the tax.
Washington items.
Washington, January 29.—Tbe Senate
Judiciary Committee devoted the special
meeting to-day to the consideration of the
Geneva award bill. No action was reached,
but the indications were that the committee
will materially amend the House bill.
The Senate Committee on Naval Affairs
to-day referred Blaine’s bill (introduced on
the 22d instant) to regulate promotion
in the navy, and for other purposes, to a
sub-committee, consisting of Senators Sar
gent, Blaine and McPherson.
The four cases of Morris Ranger and
others, against the city of New Orleans,
were argued to-day in the United States
Supreme Court. The plaintiffs seek to
obtain a mandamus compelling the levy of
a tax to satisfy the judgments obtained by
them against the city on bonds issued b;
it pursuant to act No. 109, passed Marci
15, 1854, and amounting iu the aggregateto
$20,000,000. The city denies that a man
damus should be issued, for the reason that
there was no law authorizing taxation to
pay the bonds in question.
All the Assistant Treasurers of the United
8tates will hereafter pay interest on gov
ernment bonds in gold, if demanded, as was
the case prior to January 1st. The Feb
ruary interest will be tbe first considerable
sum that will be paid out in gold. If de
manded for interest, it will amount to about
six million dollars, but the department does
got expect there will be any more demand
for gold.
It is stated to-day that over $25,000,000 of
coin obligations, including $1,400,000 of
United States notes presented for re
demption have been paid during the current
month, yet the stock of coin in the
Treasury has steadily increased.
J. P. Nelson has been appointed revenue
storekeeper and gauger for the Fifth district
of North Carolina, and D. D. Shaver for
the Sixth district of North Carolina.
THE “CONSTITUTION” SALVAGE CASE.
London, January 29.—Minister Welsh, in
his letter of instructions to the solicitors
employed in behalf of the Constitution,
says: “The Constitution is a national
ship, and her cargo was in charge of the
United States Government for public pur
poses. Under the circumstances, I cannot
recognize that the High Court of Justice has
any jurisdiction.” The counsel for the
Crown also opposed the motion, and said
that granting the application might even re
sult in war between Great Britain and the
United States.
BILL EOE THE ABOLITION OF CAPITAL
PUNISHMENT.
IJarrjsbubg, January 29.—A bill was
introduced in the House for the abolition
of capital punishment, substituting there
for solitary confinement for life at hard
labor.

TELEGRAMS
ving
rrec.
READ BEFORE THE POTTER
COMMITTEE.
Washington, January 29.—The followii
are some of the telegrams already refer!
to:
“Tallahassee, December I.—Jno. Hi»</,
Washington: Florida will go for Hayes.
“Bkady.
“Washington.—General Brady, Talla
hasset: Florida is in trouble. I speak ad
visedly. Have no other fears.
“Jas. N. Tyner.*
••Washington.—General Brady, Talla
hassee: Reliable information here says the
Democrats claim two of the Florida return
ing board. Do vou believe it t Wing.
“Tallahassee, Fla.—John Wing, HasA-
ington : We have no intimation of treach
ery, except on the part of one of our own
number. If we come to grief, it is througl
him, the New Yorker. We are aavised n<
recommends contrary to our interest. His
many and mysterious interviews arouse sus
picion. Brady.”■
The New Yorker referred to was General
Barlow, of New York city.
Other telegrams were read, but contained
no significance, the last one relating to the
conclusion of the count, and statiug that
the Slate had gone for Hayes, etc.
It transpired under cross-examination that
John Wing was a fictitious name for Judge
Tyner, and it was arranged previous to the
witness’ departure that the telegrams should
be so addressed. The cipher used was also
arranged before Brady left Washington.
CONGRESSIONAL NOTES.
Washington, January 29.—The Senate
passed the bill for promoting the efficiency
of corps chaplains in the navy. It provides
that no person less than twenty-five nor
more thirty-five years of age shall be ap
pointed chaplain in the navy. It fixes their
relative rank as follows: Four to rank as
captain, eight as commander, all others as
lieutenant commander, fixed pay according
to the duties, length of service, etc. The
whole number of chaplains shall not exceed
twenty.
The House is in session to-night for the
consideration of the reports from the Com
mittee on Commerce.
The House Committee on Appropriations
have reported all the general appropriation
bills except the sundry civil and toe deli
ciency bills. The former will involve an
appropriation of about $20,000,UUU, the lat
ter upwards of $2,0U0,(K)0. The river and
harbor bill Is still under consideration by
the sab-Conimittee ou Commerce.
GAMBETTA ON MACMAHON*S THREATENED
RESIGNATION.
Paris, January 29.—The JlepubUqne
Francaise, Gambetta’s organ, says: “Those
who use the threat of President MacMa
hon’s resignation as a scarecrow are mis
taken. France does not desire, but does
not fear, a change in the head of the gov
ernment. What France will not have is
unconstitutional resistance to the will
the nation.”
of
THE TELLER INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE.
Charleston, January 29.—'fhe Teller
Committee has concluded its investigation
here. Colored Democrats testified to-day
to the existence of a large number of Demo
crats of their race in Charleston, and to as
saults being made upon them by their own
people.
POSTAL AFFAIRS.
Washington, January 29.—Mrs. Pauline
Webb was nominated as Postmaster at
Corsicana, Texas.
An order issued by the Postmaster
General discontinues after the end of the
present quarter all local agencies for the
sale of postage stamps.
OUTRAGES BY TRAMPS.
York, Pa., January 29.—Tramp3 at
tempted to wreck the mail train from Har
risburg yesterday afternoon by placing ob
structions on the track. They afterwards
visited the station and abused the passen
gers. Thirty arrests were made
BULGARIAN ASSEMBLY TO MEET NEXT MONTH.
Constantinople, January 29.—The open
ing of the Bulgarian Assembly of Notables
at Tii-nova for the election of a Prince, is
now fixed for the 22d of February.
FATAL CAVISG IN OF A QUARRY.
London, January 29.—A quarry in the
suburbs of Oporto caved in, burying several
houses. Many persons were killed.
The property of married women is the
subject of a bill introduced in the Con
necticut State Senate. It provides that
all property acquired by a married wo
man shall be held to her sole and sepa
rate use; that neither husband or wife
shall acquire any right or interest in any
property held by the other before marriage
or acquired after marriage; the wife shall
have the right to dower in the husband’s
estate, unless some suitable provision by
way of jointure was made before mar
riage; in case there are no children or le
gal representatives of children, one half of
the personal estate shall go to the widow
forever, and one-third of the real estate
for life; the husband and wife to have the
same rights in each other’s property as
tenants; the separate earnings of the wife
shall be her sole property; making both
liable for purchases made by either which
go to the support of the family; and
making it the duty of the husband to
support his famiiy, and his property
when found shall be first applied to sat
isfy joint liability.
Sitting Bull’s overtures for peace are a
testimony to the moral suasion of the
Cheyenne slaughter. He correctly ar
gues, says t£e Baltimore Gazette, that it
will hardly pay to continue hostilities
with a nation that recognizes the butchery
of women and children as honorable war
fare.
Mr. Justice Miller severely criticises
the rule of law which makes courts spend
weeks in finding a juryman so ignorant
that he has never heard or formed an
opinion of a case that has attracted pub
lic attention.
The doctors are very much displeased
over a competitor who is gradually stealing
their best practice. We mean Dr. Bull’s
Cough Syrup, of which a 25 cent bottle
does better work than a dozen prescriptions.

Knowledge ia power on the farm as it
is in every department of active indus
try. and the farmer who knows how to
utilize wet days, to take good care of his
horses and cattle, to feed his pigs, and to
take an intelligent supervision over his
poultry yard, has a great advantage over
one that does not know how to do these
things. This information, when added
to a good knowledge of labor-saving
and fertilizing appliances constitute
no very small stock of very valu
able information, in the hands of a farm
er in an age of competition. The
intelligent farmer will make money—the
ignorant fanner will make none—
and his ignorance subjects him
to the cupidity of peddlers of worthless
panaceas of every kind. Reading and
study is a great help to the farmer. It
will teach him economy, the advantages
of thrifty habits, intelligent industry in
everything he uses; how to buy intelli
gently ; how and when to sell profitably.
Every good agricultural publication is a
gain to the agricultural interests of the
country and a real and present advantage
to him who reads it. We are not jealous
of other publications. Our mission shall
be to devote our whole time and study
to the specific wants of the Southern
farmers as a class, apart from all others,
and we promise at the outset to spare no
efforts to make THE SOUTHERN FAR
MER'S MONTHLY both instructive and
useful.
But we shall not be content to make
THE SOUTHERN FARMER’S
MONTHLY' a dry and instructive
monthly for the farmers’ sole use. Far
mers have wives, families, little ones,
whose amusement and instruction shall
form no very small share of attention in
the columns of the MONTHLY.

In point of tj pography, it is a model,
