FRIDAY. JANUARY 31. 1879.
TAPPING THE WIKES.
Marshal MacMahon has tendered his resig
nation as President of the French republic,or.
the grounds that he is in disagreement with
the Ministry, is hopeless of forming anothei
Cabinet, and is unwilling to assent to
measures which he regards as contrary to
the good of the army organization. The
present Ministers will probably resign, and
a new Cabinet be constituted. It is reported
that Gambetta wiil take the Premiership
and foreign portfolio. No disturbance was
created, and in the afternoon M. Grevy wa-
elected MacMahon’s successor to serve for
seven years. The full text of the ex-Presi-
dent’s letter appears in our telegraphic
columns.
M. Grevy, the new French President, ha-
resigned his seat as a Deputy and President
of the Chamber. Gambetta will probably
be to-day elected his successor. MacMahon
and the Ministry all called on President
Grevy yesterday afternoon and tendered him
their congratulations.
Immense crowds peacefully assembled on
the boulevards in Paris yesterday to learn
the news. The Marquis de Harcourt, French
Ambassador at London, a cousin of Mac
Mahon, has resigned. The late President of
the republic positively refused to permit his
name to be used for any species of demon
stration.
7 he Congressional board of experts appoin
ted to investigate the yellow fever epidemic
have reported. They are unanimously of
the opinion that the investigation should be
completed and that the study of the natural
history of yellow fever should be systemat:
cally pursued, and especially that inquiries
should embrace perpetually infected ports
of the West Indies, whose fields give the
greatest promise of practical results. They
therefore recommend that experts be ap
pointed to visit ail countries where this and
kindred epidemics are generated, and
make careful study of the same, both at
home and abroad, and also that the
strictest possible system of quarantine be
established. On this point they state that
“the carrying into effect of an efficient sys
tem of quarantine contemplates a central
authority or health department. It is con
sidered Important that such department be
so organized as to gain strength from and
give strength to the State and municipal
health organizations.”
The House has passed the post office ap
propriation bill after increasing many of the
rppropriations to the amount asked for by
he estimator.
The Chicago police have captured a gang
of counterfeiters and forgers who, for two
years past, have been successfully plying
their vocation in that city.
Right Rev. H. H. Wingfield, Missionary
Bishop of Northern California, has been
selected as Bishop of Louisiana to fill the
position made vacant by the death of the
late Bishop Wilmer.
The Society for the Suppression of Vice
held its fifth anniversary meeting yester
day in New York. It is alleged that a wide
spread conspiracy exists against the society
by its enemies. It has done much good
work, however, having captured 300,000
names and addresses of obscene circulars,
and destroyed nearly twelve tons of obscene
printed matter. It regards the closing of
Madame Resteil's establishment as the
greatest triumph of the year.
Whitelaw Reid was the only witness ex
amined by the Potter Committee yesterday,
ne received the dispaiches published by him
from Wm. E. Chandler and Representative
Hiscock. They were translated by Messrs
Hassard and Grosvenor, of the Tribune staff.
It is reported that J. Madison Wells has
been Indicted for malfeasance in office.
The jury have brought in a verdict in fa

A dispatch from Rome to the Rill Moll
Gazette states that a Papal consistory is fixed

The House Committee on Ways and
Means will ask the House to set apart the
8th of February for the consideration of the
bill changing duties on sugar. The Senate
Finance Committee have virtually decided
to recommend no change on the present
duty of licorice.
The B’nai B’rith Convention has ad
journed. The next session will be held in
Cincinnati on the last Sunday in February
1S86. The order now numbers .twenty-
three thousand, and is in satisfactory condi
tion. Several changes In the constitution
of the Grand Lodge were adopted. The
report of the committee appointed to take
action relative to the humane work of
Hebrews in the South during the epidemic
was also adopted. Various important steps
for promoting the general welfare of the
order were taken.
The investigation of United States Elec
tion Supervisor Davenport for interfering

B. F. Jones has been nominated by the
Democratic caucus to succeed Mr. Eustis
as Senator from Louisiana.
The Christian Index.
This paper, published in Atlanta by
James P. Harrison & Co., and edited by
Dr. Henry H. Tucker, with Mr. Robert
W. Fuller as associate, is without doubt
one of the finest religious journals in
the United States. Its editorials arc
learned, sound and instructive, and
evince research, study and thought.
Indeed this could not be otherwise,
for Dr. Tucker is oue of the most
fluent and dignified, as well as
careful writers in the South. Two
editorials of his which have recently
appeared one entitled “Mormon Folke,' 1
another “Confluent Prayer,” are really
remarkable, both for originality and for
true Christian doctrine. Besides this,
its selections are all interesting and emi
nently appropriate, while its correspond
ence is full of information regarding re
ligious matters in the South. We cor
dially commend it to our readers.
The House bill providing for a reduc
tion of the tax on tobacco will doubtless
receive a quietus in the Senate, whether
the report of the committee be favorable
or adverse, and the enormous draft that
is likely to be made upon the Treasury
by the new pension bill will form one of
the principal excuses for non-action at
this session. Not the least unfortunate
result of extravagant legislation in one
direction is that so many other valuable
interests have to suffer for it.
The Negro Colonization Scheme.
In connection with Senator Windom’s
bill, introduced into the Senate a few days
ago for an inquiry into the expediency
of assisting the colored people to remove
from those States in the South where, it
is complained, they are denied the politi
cal rights which the constitutional
amendments guarantee to them, it is
stated that a conference between the
Minnesota Senator and a number
of intelligent representative men of
that race was held last Wednes
day. In the interchange of opinions
that took place it was developed that the
general sentiment was in favor of the
government setting apart a territory or
selected region in the South and inviting
colored people to remove to them. Con
gressman Smalls, of South Carolina,
stated that on some of the sea islands off
the coast of that State negroes had un
disputed possesion; the entire population
was colored people, there being no whites
among them: and the result was entire
freedom from the race quarrels and con
flicts that prevail in other parts of the
State,where the races are in nearly equal
proportions in the community. Prof.
Guener, of Howard University, and Rep
resentatives Rainey and Cain, of South
Carolina, warmly urged the allotment of
a region to the blacks for their exclusive
occupation, as the only means of arrest
ing the antagonism between the races.
It is very evident that the proposition
of the Senator from Minnesota is but
another move in the game to create sec
I tional discord in the Union, and race dis
; cord in the South, and, as was only to
have been expected, be is warmly sec
onded in bis efforts by colored poll
ticians and would-be literati
Washington. Besides this, it
evidently the hope that if the colored
men in the South can be drawn away
from this section, that Southern “basis
of representation,” of which the model
Radical is so terribly afraid, may be re
duced. There are a few insurmount
able difficulties in the way of consum
mating their purposes, however, which
these pure hearted philanthropists, so
called, would do well to consider.
We are not aware that there is any au
thority in the United States Constitution
or laws for the government assuming the
role of a colonization agent, and, as
such, spending public money. True, au
thonty is recognized for setting apart
special territory and reservations for the
Indian tribes, which is doubtless derived
from that clause of the Constitution which
gives Congress power to dispose of and
make all needful rules and regulation;
respecting the terriiory or other property-
belonging to the United States, and
which special provisions for the benefit
of Indians are made necessaiy by the
circumstances which govern their case.
With the negro, however, it is very
different. He is a full-fledged American
citizen, made so by the Radical party it
self, and how Congress will be able to
set off a portion of the United States ter
ritory for him, and endow him with
special privileges therein which will be
denied to his less fortunate white brother,
it is hard to understand.
But even could this be done, where do
Mr. Windom and his friends propose to
obtain the money for carrying out his
proposed colonization scheme? There is
no law or authority for Congress to make
an appropriation for any such purpose.
Manifes'ty then, it only remains for
those gentlemen, whose hearts bleed so
profusely for the poor African, to put
their hands in their own pockets and
contribute of their own substance for the
purpose. This method of pro
cedure, however, is positively prohibited
by the laws of conduct which
govern the modern American philanthro
pist. His duty is, according to his own
ideas, only to devise schemes for spend
ing public money, leaving it to the tax
payers of the land to carry them out—pro
vided always that your philanthropist be
permitted to handle and control the
aforesaid means. We greatly fear, there
fore, that if the man and brother waits
for Windom et ci. to furnish him with
the “sinews of war” needed to effect his
removal to the proposed Americo-African
paradise, he will never get there.
Again, the negro in the South is doing
very welL He is being educated, if
amassing wealth, is learning how to ap
preciate the blessings of civilization, and
when left to himself i3 a good citizen,
living peacefully and quietly with his
white neighbors. The better class of the
race therefore—those who are honest
and industrious—will positively refuse
to give up the blessings they enjoy and
fly to evils that they know not of.
We present these facts for Mr. Win
dom’s consideration. He will find
them mighty obstacles in the way of the
success of his philanthropic (?) schemes.
Indeed it looks very much as if he will
have to make up his mind to permit the
colored citizens of this republic to enjoy
the political freedom, independence and
the inestimable advantages, now their
happy lot in the South, unmolested and
undisturbed.
Butler sums up with conciseness
the points in the new army bill
when he calls it a bill to abolish the con
stitutional office of the Secretary of
War; to make the General the despot
of the arm}-; to enable the Providence
Tool Company to unload a large quantity
of its old stock on the government, and
to turn over to private contractors the
arming of the militia of the United
States.
The scheming and bargaining of Zach
Chandler to get back into the Senate
seems to be successful. Senator Chris-
tiancy has yielded to the solicitations to
have him resign and accept the mission
to Lima. Zach, it is said, has fixed things
in Michigan in a way to secure his elec
tion to fill the vacancy.
Glowing Tribute, to Commodore
Tatnall.
We have been tJiown a letter from
Sylvanus Cobb, Jr., written from Hyde
Park, Massachusetts, to Capt. John R.
F. Tatnall, of this city, ordering a copv
of the life of his father, the Commodore,
and paying such a high tribute to that
old hero, that we feel constrained to
make an extract from the same. Says
Mr. Cobb: "I well remember the glow
ing pride with which I was introduced
to your father for the first time, and
though we have since served and held
commands in belligerent opposition to
one another, my deep respect for the ‘old
Trojan’ (I used to cail him soi has never
lessened. The test friend I ever had,
the man whom I loved as a father, Capt.
William F. Lynch, was also on that same
opposing side to me. I was his private
confidential clerk or secretary,
and he was a good and loyal
man. Like your father, loyal to
what be felt to be his duty. O, I would
support my mother always, and be not
too nice in weighing the justness of her
cause.
“I promise myself much pleasure in
the perusal of the life of the glorious
old hero, whom I have never ceased to
honor and respect God bless his
memory. May it forever flourish in
immortal green."
It is with the liveliest pleasure that we
yield space to the above extract of a
letter from a Northern ex-army officer
and gentleman, containing such a beauti
ful and meritorious eulogy upon the
character of a Southern hero. How dif
ferent his sentiment from those
of Blaine, Edmunds, et id omne
genus, and in what unenviable position
are they placed by contrast. Such is
the difference always shown between
the men who actually ejposed their lives
in the cause of the Union and those va
liant non-combatants who ever took good
care to scent the battle a long distance
from afar.
Extensive Immigration Anticipated.
From all indications we have reason to
expect a great increase of immigration
from Europe to this country this year
and next, and particularly from Great
Britain, where the depression of trade is
causing thousands to suffer, almost to
the very verge of st&rvatioD. We read
that in some of the Southern and West-
ern States there are agencies of English
men who assist immigrants on their ar
rival, and these charitable and benevo
lent organizations will be put to their
best in providing for their countrymen
who wiil flock here next sprine aDd sum
mer. This influx will augment the popu
lation of this country very considerably,
and, with the natural increase, will
make the population of the United
States in 1880 fully fifty millions. It
is estimated by experts that our popula
tion on the first day of this year was
about 48,600,000, divided about as fol
lows : Eastern and Middle States, 14,500,-
000: Western and Pacific States, 16,300,-
000; Southern States, 17,000,000: Terri
tories, 700.000.
It is quite likely that in the next two
years the Western States will increase
their population very considerably, and
the same may be reasonably predicte 1 of
the South. Certain it is that if such be
not the case, it will only be because this
section is not sufficiently alive to
setting forth her advantages. She
offers to the industrious immigrant
a delightful and salubrious climate,
which wiil permit agricultural and other
occupations to be profitably pursued the
year round; a soil unexcelled in fertility
by any country of the world, and educa
tional and social advantages which—her
enemies to the contrary notwithstanding
—are unsurpassed.
The future prospects of the South
must depend to a great degree upon
healthy and desirable immigration. It
is therefore to be hoped that Southern
immigration societies will not allow her
interests in this respect to suffer at this
time by not making her claims known.
To the honest immigrant, who comes to
this country seeking a home, there is no
section which can compare with our own
in offering superior inducements.
BY TELEGRAPH.
FROM WASHINGTON
The Tobacco Tax and Sugar Tariff
Question.
OF THE PENSION AR
REARS BILL.
The Southern Claim Subject Again
John James Patterson, who represents
Pennsylvania in the United States Senate
from South Carolina, does not stand very
high in the estimation of the St. Louis
Republican. Speaking of his early re
tirement to the shades of public life, that
paper says of him: “Senator Patterson,
of South Carolina, after a career which
it were better for his leputation he had
never entered upon, is about to retire
from public life. He will not return to
nestle in the bosom of the Palmetto State
and enjoy the sweet welcome of an hon
ored son, buf will shoulder his dilapida
ted carpet-bag and betake himself to his
native Pennsylvania, bluer than the
w-aters of the blue Juniata, upon whose
shores the errant statesman dawned into
being. It is said that he blames the
President for the disgrace that has over
taken the peculiar political sect of which
he is one of the worst types as well as
one of the few survivors, and that he
will so denounce him upon the floor of
the Senate. It is Mr. Patterson’s privi
lege to do so; it may relieve his soured
and distempered stomach—it may com
mend him to a confidential place in the
Grant movement, which by instinct and
experience he is so well fitted to adorn.
Concerning the bill granting arrears of
pensions, lately approved by Mr. Hayes,
the Commissioner of Pensions has issued
a circular letter in which he notifies all
pensioners entitled to the benefits of the
bill that they will not require the assist
ance of a claim agent in obtaining the
amount due them, and that no claim
agent will be recognized in the matter.
This is regarded as the proper course for
the Commissioner to take, although it
v<ill not be relished by the claim agents,
to whose efforts in stirring up pension
ers the passage of the bill may be mainly
attributed. The claim agents expected
to get at least half of the amount to be
drawn from the Treasury. Under this
bill a private soldier who may have lost
two limbs will be entitled, it is said, to
arrears of pensions amounting to the
sum of over eleven thousand dollars.
Slowly, but surely, the Bell Telephone
Company is crowding out other telepho
nic compares. Injunctions have been
obtained against several smaller telephone
manufacturers, and suits are in progress
against larger establishmonts. The Bell
Company turn out 1,500 telephones a
month. There are now 17,500 instru
ments in use. Nearly every city of
prominence in the United States has its
telephonic exchange. Detroit has 153 in
struments in Circuit, besides numerous
private lines. New York has 250, Boston
150, Lowell 200. New Haven 350, Balti
more 100, St Louis 325, Philadelphia
250, Chicago 500, Cincinnati 200, and so
on. There seems little doubt that when
the numerous inventions of the past de
cade are sifted out, the telephone will be
found one of the most useful in the large
assortment.
Special Telegram to the Morning Nem.
Washington, January 30.—The prospects
for a just reduction in the tax on tobacco,
and for a needed change in the sugar tariff,
are becoming less every day. The sugar
men got a rebuff in the House the other
day, and the tobacco men cannot make any
perceptible headway In the Senate. A short
time ago the chances for both amendments
resulting favorably, especially the tobacco
tax reduction agitation, were very good in
deed. The change has been brought about
by a variety of causes. In the House the
sugar men met with an apathy on the
part of members to take up a subject which
brings out so many conflicting interests, and
seems almost interminable. In the Senate
the tobacco men can’t spur the Finance
Committee to make a report. Until the
committee does, no action in the Senate can
be had. The outlook now is that both ques
tions will go over to the next Congress.
The pension arrears bill, which is to take
out of the Treasury about eighty millions
of dollars in pay of back pensions to Union
soldiers, cannot become effective until an
appropriation for paying the money called
for under it is made. The Republicans, who
hoped to make capital out of it but were
headed off by the Democrats, who first
passed it in the House, evince a disposition
to make so such appropriation, on the
plea that there is more important matter
before Congress to be considered. This is
a flimsy excuse. They are trying to throw
the making of an appropriation over to the
next Congress, which will be Democratic.
The truth is that so large an amount of
money will be taken out of the Treasury by
the bill that they are afraid, despite their
desire for buncombe, to make the appro
priation. They cannot get out of it in this
way and cry for the support of the Union
soldiers, because their design is too exceed
ingly plain.
The Southern members of the House were
defeated again this afternoon in an attempt

macmauon’s letter of resignation.
Versailles, January 30.—The following
is the text of President MacMahon’s letter
of resignation :
“At th« opening of this session of the
Chambers, the Ministry presented to you a
programme which, while affording satisfac
tion to public opinion, appeared to the Cabi
net such as might be voted without danger
to the security or the good administration
of the country. Putting aside all personal
views, I had given the programme my ap
probation, for I was sacrificing no prin
ciple to which conscience commanded
me to remain faithful. To day the Ministry
thinking to respond to the opinion of a
majority in the two Chambers proposes to
me, in regard to high military commands,
some general measures which I consider
contrary to the interest of the army, and
consequently to those of the country. I
cannot subscribe to them, and any other
Ministry taken from the majority would
Impose on me the same conditions. I con
sider myself, therefore, bound to shorten
the duration of the mandate which the
National Assembly confided to me, and I
therefore tender my resignation.
“In quitting power, I have the coDSola-
tion of thinking that during the fifty-three
years I have devoted to the service of m;
country, either as a soldier or a citizen,
have never been guided by sentiments other
than honor and duty and absolute devotion
to my country. I request you to communi
cate my decision to the Chambers.
(Signed) “MacMahon,
“Duke of Magenta.”
m. grevy elected president.
Versailles,January 30. —The proceedings
in the Congress of the two Chambers were
opened by M. Martel, who again read Mac
Mahon’s letter of resignation and the arti
cles of the Constitution. M. de Govardes,
Senator, amid shouts of disapprobation,
asked whether the Congress accepted the
resignation of President MacMahon. Con
gress set this inquiry aside by voting the
previous question by a large majority. The
Congress, after appointing tellers, pro
ceeded at five o’clock to vote for
a President of the republic. 713 Senators
and Deputies were present, of whom 670
voted. The absolute majority required was
336. M. Jules Grevy obtained 536 votes,
and Gen. Dechauzy 99. M. Grevy was ac
cordingly declared elected and was pro
claimed President of the republic for seven
years. 43 blank voting papers were depos
ited. The result was announced at 7:45 p.
m. Shortly after the Senate and the Cham
ber of Deputies resumed separate sittings.
After the adjournment of the joint ses
sion, M. Bethmont took a chair in the
Chamber of Deputies. He read a letter
from'M. Grevy expressing the profound re
gret with which he resigned his seat as a
Deputy, and thanking his colleagues for
the sympathy writh which they had honored
him and would continue to honor him.!
The Deputies decided to elect a successor
to the Presidency of the Chamber to
morrow. It is understood that Gambetta is
willing ffi accept the post and his candidacy
meets with increased favor.
Marshal MacMahon wrote to M. Grevy
to-day expressing a wish to pay him a visit
as soon as he was elected President. M.
Grevy replied that he was deeply sensible
to the Marshars courtesy, but insisted it was
for him (Grevy) to pav the first visit. It is
stated that the Marshal will go to pay his
respects to President Grevy this evening.
THE EFFECT OF THE RESIGNATION IN PARIS.
Paris, January 30.—Immense and peace

Grevy expressed the hope that they would
continue in office at least provisionally.
The Cabinet will meet to-morrow to con

three children of the late W'illiam Cush

VERDICT IX THE ARLDiiilO* CUE.
Alb^xsdbia, January 30.—The jury In
the Arlington case returned a verdict for
the plaintiff (General Lee) for the whole
property In full. The defendanta moved
for a new trial.
In consequence of the passage of the
new pension bill and the havoc which it
threatens to make upon the resources of
the Treasury, not only has the proposed
reduction of the tobacco tax been de
feated. but Congress is now seriously
thinking of re-establishing the tax upon
incomes, in order to meet any possible
deficit,
The bill which has passed the Virginia
Legislature amending the charter of the
Slount Vernon Ladies’ Association pro
vides for the appointment of a Board of
Visitors to serve withou: pay. This re!
lieves the association of :he obligation to
pay the expenses of the board, as at pres
ent, and subjects the State to no eosi.
