from accident. There are various conjec
tures. One is as follows: That Mr. Whit-
tikin was in the habit of sleeping
in the store, and keeping a lamp
burning on the counter all night. He
retired about eleven o’clock, and it is
thought that the lamp exploded, throwing
burning oil over good6, which caught and
spread the flames in an almost incredible
short time. The sleeping man was awak
ened by feeling a sense of smoke-suffoca
tion, and discovering the tire, attempted to
extinguish it. With a pistol in hand, he
made his way to the front part of the store,
and finding his efforts agaiu*t the fire use
less, becoming bewildered by the flames and
choked by the smoke, could not make his
way out, and as a last recourse fired his
pistol to attract attention and help. No
help coming, it is supposed that he gave up
the battle and became an easy prey to the
angry elements. Others are confident in
thinking there is foul play, that an entrance
was effected in the store by thieves, and
during their raid were discovered aud fired
upon by Mr. Whittikin. Afraid of being
caught and suffering the penalty of their
acts, they committed the greatest of all
crimes, murder, so as to carry on their
theft and make their escape. After this, it
is supposed they saturated clothing, goods,
etc., with kerosene, struck the villainous
match, and left. Suspicion rests upon two
parties, names not known, seen going in
different directions. Section Master Sutton
met a negro on the track near the creek, at
Holt’s station, about naif-past four o’clock,
who, when 6een, made a hurried run for the
swamp. Again, just before the alarm was
given, a party was seeu making his way
westward out of Leary, with a blaukct
thrown over his shoulders aud head. The
citizens of Leary will do everything iu their
power to find out all particulars and circum
stances of the whole matter. If foul play
has been used, we feel sure it will be found
out and the guilty apprehended. Mr. Whit
tikin w r as formerly of Americus, an
Israelite, and settled in Leary last fall. He
was a quiet gentleman, aud one that always
attended to his business in a thorough man
ner. He has relatives in Eufaula.”
DuPont Okrjenokean: “Citizens of Clinch,
in looking over the field for a suitable man
to represent you in the National Congress
to till the vacancy caused by the death of
the late lamented Ilartridge, we would ask
you to consider the claims of the true, tried
veteran to Democratic principles, the Hon.
Wm. T. Thompson, lie has devoted a
long life to the teachings of the first
principles of pure Jeffersonian De
mocracy. During the days, nay, years
of Georgia’s degradation aud Radical
supremacy, while others slept he kept
watch from the house-tops, and with his
eagle eye he discerned every rift in the
cloud on the Radical checker-board. Then
that true pen told yonder was danger, here
was hope. That it never faltered to duty,
the past will attest. Aside from every con
sideration of justice that would accord to
this veteran soldier this paltry honor, his
abilities as a man and a scholar at once
recognize him the peer of any other man iu
the district.”
The same paper has the following: “Mr.
Frank Simians, last week, killed nine bogs
that weighed 150 pounds each after they
were cleaned and ready for salting. Who can
doubt, that, with a little effort, our farmers
can have their smoke houses at home, not
iu the West, as heretofore ?”

Bullets Meeting in the Air.
The probability of bullets and other
missiles meeting in their flight when
shot from opposite points in such num
bers as they would necessarily be iu bat
tle, is certainly not by any means doubt
ful. The possibility of such missiles be
ing welded together by their contact,!
however, seems so decidedly remote that
such a result appears to us certainly phe
nomenal.
It appears, however, from Forest and
Stream \hvX the New Y’ork shot manu
facturers, Messrs. Tatbam Brothers, oc
casionally found bullets welded together
in the scrap-lead brought from the
battle-fields of the American civil war,
and Lieut. Col. John A. McLaughlin re
cently forwarded two bullets to the
Scientific American so impacted in each
other which were picked up on the same
fields. He says that at the time of the
retreat of the Federal Gen. N. P. Banks,
after his defeat, in attempting to cap
ture Shreveport, La, in the summer
of 1804, he (Lieut. Col. McLaughlin)
was in command of one of the retreat
ing regiments. A portion of his regi
ment was thrown forward on the flank
of the main body in skirmishing order.
These two bullets, he says, were im
pacted in the air between bis skirmish
ers and the skirmishers of the enemy,
and fell like a spent ball near the head
of the column of the main body. A
drum major, seeing the missile fall near
him, picked it up, thinking it to be a
spent bullet, but found the two bul
lets welded together. lie afterwards
presented it to Lieutenant Colonel Me-
LaugUlin. One of the bullets belonged
to a larger bore rifle than the other,
and the larger one is stated to have be
longed to the Confederates, as it was of
a calibre then known to be much used
by them, and somewhat larger in bore
than the rifles used by the Ii ortherners.
It is supposed that the larger bullet had
traveled a shorter distance than the
smaller at the instant of impact, and pos
sibly bad been propelled by a superior
quality or quantity of powder. I his,
together with its weight, is thought to
have bad the effect of driving the smaller
bullet baek beyoud the line from which
it was fired. _
Luxuries and Necessities.
New York Times.
A table of wages and the cost of liv
ing, with the price of staple articles of
commerce, going back as far as the year
1200, has been published lately. It
shows that wages during the thirteenth
century were about fifty cents a week.
In the next century they advanced some
fifteen cents, and continued to advance
slowly until, in the last century, the}
had reached $1 87. The average for
farm labor at present is $3 80 per week.
Wheat in the thntecnth century averaged
seventy-one cents, or eight and a half
days’ labor, a bushel. Now wheat is
w orth wholesale, about $1 40 a bushel,
or two and a baif days labor. In six
centuries meat lias nearly trebled in price;
but wages have increased more than
seven fold. Thus it will be perceived
that the improvement in pay tor labor,
while it may better the laborer s condi
tion does not tend to increase bis con
tentment. Subsistence is surely easier
tbau of old, though the laborer is not
satisfied to live as his ancestors lived.
It is with him as it is with all of us—
bis desires have augmented more rapidly
than the means to gratify
w ants arc innumerable, and, to a large
extent, artificial. Luxuries, as they
were ouce considered, have grown to be
necessities. We think sometimes that
we can dispense witu necessities, but
luxuries are essential, not only to our
contentment, but to any tolerable degree
of well being.

CONGRESSIONAL.
Washington, January 31.—In the Senate,
Mr. Hamlin, from the Committee on For
eign Relations, reported adversely on the
House joiut resolution in relation to the ex
penditures at the Paris Exposition, aud it
was indefinitely postponed.
At one p. in. the Senate went into execu
tive session.
The executive session was for the con
sideration of the New York custom house
nominations.
The President sent an additional message
to the Senate accompanied by a letter to
him from the .Secretary of the Treasury,
reiterating the assertions that the public in
terests required a change in the administra-
of the New York custom house. The
President insists that the late Collector and
Naval Officer made it a centre of partisan
political management.
The House refused to concur in the Sen
ate amendment abolishing the volunteer
navy.
Tne Senate bill to erect a military post at
El Paso was agreed to.
The Fairfax Seminary Dill was considered.
Several members opposed it as a war claim,
and the House, acting as a committe of the
whole, finally defeated the inotiou to report
the bill to the House.
THE CATTLE TRADE.
London, January 31.—A Liverpool dis
patch says, with reference to the further
arrivals of cattle from America, it is an
nounced that the Privy Council Department
have the subject under consideration, and
will issue orders hereafter. It is probable
that for the present no general regulation
will be laid down, but that the arrival of
each consignment be closely watched, and
each case be dealt with on its own merits.
Those engaged iu the trade contend that
an unnecessary amount of alarm has been
created out of the Outarious case, and even
dispute the statement that the animals con
demned have suffered from pleuro pneumo
nia. For the protection of their own inter
ests, they have retained the services of
veterinary surgeons of high repute to act as
a check upon the Privy Council inspectors.

Richmond, January 31.—In the House to
day a report on the alleged usurpation
of States rights by Federal Judge Rives,
came up. Peter J. Carter, colored, mem
her for Northampton county, submit
ted a substitute for the report, setting forth
that under the fourteenth amendment to the
Constitution, no State shall deny to any
person within its jurisdiction an equal pro
tection of the law. The substitute at some
length, sets forth the “equal rights”
belonging to colored citizens, but asserts
they do not receive them,and alleges a great
inequality in the punishment of the races
for similar offenses committed by either.
It also contends that the action of the
United States District Court for the West
ern District of Virginia in the case of the
Reynolds brothers is a matter for the con
sideration of the Attorney General of the
State, and with which the Legislature has
no concern,aud that the Legislature should,
in common fairness to a class of citizeus
now grievously oppressed by the present ad
ministration of the laws respecting juries,
enact measures for their relief.
Carter 6poke at length In favor of his
substitute. The matter went over without
action.

Special Correspondence of the Morning News.
Atlanta, January 30.—As the newspaper
reports that will reach you from here give a
somewhat faulty account of Gen. Sherman's
visit, I propose to present your readers with
a few statements of facts.
He was expected on Tuesday, and quite a
large number of citizens, including nearly
all the editors, were at the depot, but failed
to see the General. Yesterday noon, how
ever, they were more fortunate.
Gen. C. C. Auger, Gen. T. H. Huger, Gen.
C. H. Potter, Col. H. M. Black, Capt. J. H.
Baldwin, and Gen. Auger’s aide, Col. Geo.
B. Russell, met the train on its arrival from
Chattanooga, and greeted the expected party
most cordially.
General Sherman first appeared with his
two daughters, followed by General aud
Mrs. Van Vliet, and General J. E. Tourtcl-
lotte, A. D. C. General Sherman and Gen.
Auger passed out of the depot arm iu arm,
followed by Ueneral Ruger and the young
ladies, and* the balance of the party, and
proceeded to the Kimball House.
Although a large crowd had gathered in
the depot and about The corners, no demon
stration of any kind was made. Great
anxiety was manifested to see the man who
destroyed Atlanta, as few had ever looked
upon his face. After dinner the party took
carriages and rode about the city, visiting
the “McPherson Memorial” on the battle
field of July 22, 1864, and other points of in
terest. They did not drive to McPherson
Barracks, as a formal reception is to be given
to-day.
WHO TOOK ATLANTA?
General Sherman was at Jonesboro, fight
ing a portion of General Hood’s army, when
Atlanta was evacuated.
Colonel Coburn (afterwards member of
Congress from a Western State, and Chair
man of the House Military Committee), who
commanded the leading brigade of General
Henry W. Slocum’s corps, was the first
Federal officer to enter the city, and was
soon after followed by General Slocum.
With the exception of some pistol shoot
ing by an excited Texas straggler, no op
position was made by the people or the few
retiring Confederate soldiers. Mayor Cal
houn aud several citizens went out with a
flag of truce and surrendered the city.
Colooel W. G. LeDue, now Commissioner
of Agriculture at Washington, was Quarter
master of the corps, aud raised the tirst flag
over Mayor Calhoun’s house, at which he
was quartered. General Sherman, on his
arrival, made bis headquarters at Judge
Lyons’ house, now the High School build
ing, near the City Hail.
SHERMAN’S FIRST VISIT.
It is not generally known that this is Gen.
Sherman’s third visit to what is now called
Atlanta.
llis tirst visit was made iu 1843, at which!
time there was not much of a city here, and
the place where he stopped was known as
Whitehall, the hotel being kept by the late
Dr. Humphreys.
General Sherman graduated at the United
States Military Academy, at West Point, in
the class of 1840, and was a Second Lieuten
ant of the Third United States Artillery,
stationed at Fort Moultrie, Charleston, S.
C. , in 1843.
With other officers he was detailed to visit
Marietta, and look alter some matters con
nected with the loss of property by Georgia
volunteers in the Florida war. His journey
led him twice through Atlanta on horse
back. He well remembers the trip, and
speaks in high terms of Governor Charles
J. McDonald and lady, whom he met at
Marietta.
MEETING OF OLD SOLDIERS.
The meeting of General Stewart Van Vliet
and General G. T. Auderson (“Old Tige”)
was extremely cordial.
These old veterans of the regular army in
ante-bellum days had not met before in
seventeen years, aud having fought each
other for four years, now clasp hands again
in peace.
It was quite a treat to hear them talk over
their exploits and hardships at Fort Leaven
worth, and on the frontier, long years ago.
General Anderson is very tall, straight as
an Indian, and has a sober, severe face.
General Van Vliet is short, rather stout,
with a frank, smiling rosy face, and a mas
sive head crowned with an abundance of
snow white hair. The contrast was marked
iu this respect, but iu all others the two
comrades of long ago seemed to meet as
brothers.
TnE COLORED PEOPLE.
Of course the colored people want to see
General Sherman, as his “March to the
Sea” appears to be a great event in their
minds.
All day yesterday they watched for op
portunities to get a glimpse of him.
The party returned from their ride soon af
ter five o’clock, and as the General was
entering the hotel, an old darkey stepped
up, held out his greasy hand and said,
• Howdy, Gin’ral.”
Not to be outdone in politeness, the Gen
eral extended his white-gloved hand to the
negro, and remarked, “Do I know you?”
The old darkey looked surprised as he re
plied, “Why, M&ssa Shennan, I follered yer
all fru Georgy.”
CELIBACr FOli YOUNG OFFICERS.
It is well known in army circles that
General Sherman is 6toutly opposed to the
marriage of Second Lieutenauts.
During my visit to him last night, Second
Lieut. Alfred Reynolds, of the Twentieth
United States Infantry, called to pay his
respects, being en route from Fort Brown,
on his bridal tour.
“What is your rank, sir?” said General
Sherman. “Second Lieutenant!” was the
reply. “Well, sir, you ought to be put to
work on a farm.” To which Reynolds re
plied, “If I had a good farm, General, I
would gladly go to work on it.”
But this didn’t throw the General off the
track, and he ad*ed : “Second Lieuteuants
have no business to get married. General
Auger seems to favor it, and his young
officers adopt the plau.” Of course General
Auger, General Ord and other now dis
tinguished officers, favor early marriages,
having themselves set the example a long
time ago.
Although General Sherman is quite in
earnest on this subject, his conversation
with Lieutenant Reynolds was decidedly
pleasaut. and he finally congratulated this
handsome young officer on securing such a
charming bride. It is quite probable that
future marriages of this kind will be smiled
upon by the General of the army.
MAYOR CALHOUN AND SHERMAN.
Your correspondent called on General
Sherman last night, accompanied by Mayor
W. L. Calhoun/ whose father, as Mayor in
1864, had much to do with the General.
The meeting was quite a pleasant one, and
the interview prolonged for about an hour.
General Sherman spoke in the highest praise
of Mayor Calhoun’s father, to whom he was
much attached. Duty, he said, compelled
him to do many harsh things, yet he never
failed to appreciate the oft-repeated appeals
of the then Mayor Calhoun in behalf of the
people of Atlauta. He was a noble-hearted,
true man.
The son somewhat resembles the father in
form and character, and was of course grati
fied to hear General Sherman speak in such
high terms of his honored parent. Our pre
sent Mayor was in the Confederate army,
and reminded General Sherman that he
fought him hard at Resaca, where Sherman
made such a desperate attempt to get the
best of General Johnston, but failed in his
efforts.
THE FUTURE OF THE SOUTH.
Gen. Sherman considers Atlanta a marvel
of progress and enterprise. The location
he found one of the healthiest in which his
army camped.
Skilled artisans and good farmers, with
means and education, are now flocking to
America from European countries. It is
the very best type of immigration, and the
South ean offer it the most desirable ad
vantages.
The climate here is unsurpassed, the 6oil
fruitful and easily tilled, wood and water,
so scarce in the far West, are plenty—and a
hundred other facilities might be enumera
ted—all of which should turn the tides of
immigration to the South, aud especially to
Georgia.
Now is the time for the South to act in
this matter, and at once secure a large and
desirable increase to her population, and
new life for her agricultural, manufactur
ing and mercantile interests. This done in
Georgia, and Atlanta will speedily become a
grand inland commercial city, and Savannah
the great seaport city of the coast. It is,
said Gen. Sherman, a golden opportunity
for the South, and I shall always be happy
to aid in any way her future prosperity.
EE VIEW OF THE TROOPS.
At ten o’clock this morning General Sher-
mau was received at the McPherson Bar
racks with the usual salute of seventeen
guns.
The Eighteenth Regiment, under Lieuten
ant Colonel Black and Major Brown, was In
spected, and then passed in review before
Generals Sherman, Auger, Ruger and Tour-
tellotte, General Van Vliet being in citizen’s
clothes.
A very large crowd of spectators was
present, and greatly enjoyed the display.
The double-quick movements of the regi
ment were very fine. In fact the command
is considered one of the best in the service,
and General Sherman expressed himself
highly gratified with the result of his in
spection.
Your Washington correspondent has tele
graphed you in regard to this regiment and
post. The barracks are less than two < not
four) miles from the city, and are
quite extensive. The regiment was at
Columbia, S. C., for several years,
and has been here about two years, suc
ceeding the Second Infantry, General
Wheaton, now in Idaho. It is not decided
that this regiment is also to he sent to the
Indian country, or that this post is to be
abandoned.
Gen. Sherman regards this point as a very
healthy and central one, and as the govern
ment has a fine post here, it is probable that
a regiment, or a portion of a regiment, will
be kept here, unless Congress so reduces the
army as to require all available troops in the
field. This is Gen. Sherman’s first visit to
McPherson Barracks, and his observations
are so pleasing that it is safe to believe that
he will favor a continuance of the post in the
future. I do not speak with authority, but
my statements are as authentic as the state
ment referred to. Chatham.

Tallahassee, Fla., January 30.—In the
distributionjof awards made at the close of
the fair last Saturday, the premium for the
largest crop of cotton raised on one acre
was given to L. Smith, of Leon ; that for
the cheapest crop of the great staple to
J. Bradford, and that for the heaviest yield
of rice on one acre to N. W. Eppes, both of
Leon. The ladies also invaded the depart
ment of agriculture, Mrs. Dyer carrying off
the honors for the best bale of upland cot
ton, and the premium for the best specimen
of clarified sugar being bestowed on Mrs. J.
S. Wiuthrop. Our efficient State Treasurer,
Hon. W. Gwynn, bore off four premiums for
the best sheep and hogs, aud to Gov. Drew
was given a diploma for the best sample
of syrup, made by the new process. Seve
ral colored people also entered the lists, aud
were made happy by receiving premiums.
In the way of corn, oats, peas and rice,
Messrs. Eppes and Bradford, of Leon, took
the lead. Mrs. W. II. Scott and Mrs. W.
II. Gibson, of Gadsden* were successful In
presenting the largest assortment of best
varieties of table delicacies.
During the week Mr. C. P. Davis, of this
county, gave several exhibitions of his
remarkable skill as a rifleman, using a
Winchester, aud breaking glass balls and
oranges thrown into the air in various direc
tions. He also fired from the hip, aud
again with his back turned to the mark,
employing a mirror, and seldom missed his
aim. Whenever he wants to pull trigger on
tne I shall try to get five miles the start,
and then put one of the highest hills arouud
between iny person and his fatal weapon.
Carver and Bogardus may look to their
laurels, or they may yet be surpassed by
this piny woods amateur.
Arrangements have been made for taklDg
many of the finest exhibits shown here last
week, to the Btate Fair next month at
Gainesville.
The tournament on Thursday was a grand
success, and the ball that followed a most
enjoyable affair. The tilting was witnessed
by huudreds of the blooming beauties of
Leon aud the adjoining counties, and if
some of them do not succeed in bearing off
rings from some of our single legislators,
then I am very much mistaken. At all
events the aforesaid young statesmen will
have the double incentives of love and
ambition to urge their return at the next
election.
In the tournament Mr. T. II. Lloyd was
the successful Knight and Miss Clara Lewis
his chosen Queen of Love and Beauty.
Among the members of the press gang
who attended the fair were Myers and Hamp
ton, of the Gainesville Afeuuand Press; Har
ris i Fildes, of the Ocala B-inner; Finley,
of the Lake City Reporter; Baltzell, of the
Marianna Courier; Triplett and Uansell, of
the Thomasville (Ga.) Enterprise and Tunes ;
Sawyer, of the Jacksonville Sun and Press;
the editors of the Tallahassee Floridian, Pa
triot and Emigrant; Mason, of the Mitchell
(Ga.) Informer, and a correspondent of the
Savannah Morning News.
Amusements are scarce. The Templetons
have gone, and the learned hog is rooting
for dimes elsewhere. Blind Tom is to be
here next week to surprise the people with
his wonderful musical powers.
Very interesting addresses upon the sub
ject of immigration were delivered yester
day, in the Assembly Hall, by Dr. Ken-
worthy, of Jacksonville, and Colonel Oliver,
late of the Florida New Yorker. The latter
gentleman has purchased the Pdriot ot this
city, and proposes to make a lively sheet of
that paper.
A State printer is to be elected on Fri
day, and as the position pays and there are
several a6pirauts, there will probably be a
keen and spirited contest.
It is rumored that Ex-Governor D. S.
Walker is to be appointed Judge of this
circuit upon the expiration of the term of
the present incumbent. It is unnecessary
to state that the judicial ermine will rest
most gracefully upon this distinguished
gentleman, aud that he is endowed with all
the attributes required to add force and
dignity to an office of such trust and re
sponsibility.
A joint committee of the House and Sen
ate has gone to visit the insane asylum and
convict camps. They are instructed to make
a full report upon these institutions, and
are empowered to send for persons and
papers.
A large amount of business has been ac
complished this week in the Legislature,
and the various committees are working in
dustriously. Many private bills, petitions
and memorials have been passed, prepara
tory to the heavy work of the session. The
bills providing for a constitutional conven
tion, for the repeal of the internal improve
ment act, for appropriations, for the appoint
ment of Presidential electors by the Legis-
Uture, and others, will elicit much discus
sion, and bring on a general skirmish. It is
thought that the session will continue at
least sixty days. Several contests for seats
are yet to be determined.
Col. Brevard’s oration in commemoration
of the birthday of Gen. Robert E. Lee was a
most happy effort. A pathetic ode, written
by Hon. <J. Drew, was sung on the occasion,
and the subscription taken up for the Lee
monument reached the handsome sura of
$500.
Since my last I have succeeded In obtain
ing some biographical details relative to our
new United States Senator, which may pos
sess 6ome interest to your numerous read
's .
Colonel Wilkinson Call, Senator from
Florida for six years from the fourth of
March next, was born in Logan county,
Kentucky. He is a son of Dr. G. W. Call
and Mrs. Lucy Lee Call, daughter of Col.
John Lee, of Virginia, a revolutionary sol
dier, and a member of the same family to
which General R. E. Lee belonged. Col.
Call’s grandfather received from V irginia a
large grant of land in Kentucky for his ser
vices, and with the adventurous spirit of
those days, removed to“the Dark and Bloody
Ground.” lion. J. J. Crittenden, so long
the distinguished Senator from Kentucky,
married one of the daughter® of this brave
old veteran.
The Senator elect was a favorite nephew
of Gen. Richard K. Call, a brilliant officer
of the United States army under General
Jackson, during his entire military career,
having entered the service in his sixteenth
year and enjoying as one of “Old
Heckory’s” staff the confidence and affec
tion of that remarkable man, to a great ex
tent. Gen. R. K. Call was one of the first
military Governors of this State in its terri
torial condition, and commanded the United
States troops dunug the Seminole war of
I835-’36, aud it is generally believed that he
would have brought that struggle to an
earlier conclusion, but for personal difficul
ties between Van Buren’s administntion
and himself. General Call was of strong
Union proclivities and his death was sup
posed to have been hastened by the seces
sion of his adopted 8tate. Judge Daniel
Call, of the Virginia Court of Appeals and
the compiler of a series of valuable law
reports; was a great uncle of the Senator
elect.
Coming from such an illustrious lineage,
and possessing himself talents of high or
der, coupled with the graces and powers of
a skilled and accomplished orator his
friends expect that Col. Call will take a
front position in the upper house of Con-
press, and.will reflect lustre upon hts State
and constituents, in this expectation they
will not be disappointed.
Senator McAnley, of the Twelfth district,
has been extremely ill, and Is stiil in a criti
cal condition. w. H. B.

Washington, January 30.—The work of
investigating the ciphers goes bravely on.
The Republicans begin to say that the com
mittee is keeping away from the work to
which it was assigned. In other words, the
Republicans never once dreamed that the
ciphers were going to part them. Bless you,
no! They thought the committee was
peculiarly organized to show up Democratic
wickedness. They can hardly realize that
it should have the audacity to put before
the public so many misdeeds of their own
party leaders. There is Jim Tyner, who was
Postmaster General at the time, and there
is Zach Chandler, who was Secretary of the
Interior, and there is Brady, who was and
is Assistant Postmaster General. Leaving
out the rest of the smaller though no less
wicked lights, two Republican Cabinet
officers anil one Republican, second only to
a Cabinet officer, convicted of juggling over
the late Presidential election and paying
for votes, is a pretty outlook for a lot of re
formers. Even accepting the Tribune's
ciphers to be correct, we find no
such Democratic meu of prominence or
acknowledged party leaders mixed up in
what they purport to show. It may be
shown in the investigation that certain
Democrats tried to get their own by the use
of money ; but nothing as damaging to the
leaders of the party, and therefore the party
itself, can be brought out as that which has
already been saddled on to the Radi
cals. One of the outcroppings of all
such investigations as that now under way
Is the rapidity with which bywords are
taken from what is brought before the
committee. Thus “Indian agents” has be
come already a synonym of Republican
rascality, and Jim Tyner will he known to
posterity by the name which Brady tele
graphed him from Florida about the pro
gress of the steal down there, “John
Wing.” Tyner wiil never hear the last of
that. He is John Wing to the end of the
chapter.
The Treasury Department Is removing one
screw put on for resumption. Being some-
wiaat timid, to prevent a sub-Treasury being
called on to pay out more gold for iuterest
than it might have, the department Januaij
1st began to pay the iuterest on the public
debt at the sub-treasuries only in United
States notes or coin checks on* New York,
where the bulk of its gold is. Hav
ing gained confidence from the per
fectly harmonious working of “resump
tion,” the department has very quietly
directed the assistant treasurers to pay all
interest in gold when demanded of them.
Nearly all of the January iuterest was paid
in greenbacks, partly because the people
would as soon have them as the gold and
partly because if they wanted the gold they
would have had to get it through the sub-
treasury at New York. This restriction be-
iug removed, the February interest,amount
ing to between six and seven millions, will
be paid in gold if it is preferred, but there
is hardly any probability that there will,
even under these circumstances, be any
great call for gold. The payment of
public interest in gold without any
restriction is a step further in making re
sumption general. The n* xt thing that the
Treasury contemplates in effecting univer
sal resumption, is to redeem all notes pre
sented for redemption at any United States
sub-Treasury, and at the Treasury here. As
the matter now stands resumption literally
is only being had at New York. The Treas
ury would have commenced a few days ago
resumption at all its branches if that po
lite steal—for it is nothing else—the pen
sions arrears bill. ^ had not been passed
and signed. With this bill me
nacing the department and threaten
ing a drain of between eighty
and one hundred millions of dollars on its
resources, the department thinks it would be
(as it undoubtedly would) injudicious to
take the the step mentioned. Until this ob
stacle is removed or gotten around, resump
tion will continue to be confined to New
York.
The much abused silver dollar is going
out rapidly, notwithstanding the barriers put
around it by Secretary Sherman. The orders
to-day were for $40,000. Since the first of
January they have averaged $20,000 a day.
This amount is taken voluntarily by the peo
ple—not in the ordinary course of business as
with other classes of government currency;
The people have to order the silver they want;
it is not allowed to come to them. If Sher
man would let it out there would be no dif
ficulty iu getting it placed. It is placing it
self, however, at the rate of $20,000 a day,
which is a good sign of Its popularity. Most
of the orders received for the standard dol
lar come from the West and South, though
the North and East are but little behiud. A
rather amusing incident has just occurred
in connection with orders for silver dollars.
Treasurer Gilflllan seat out circulars to
banks and others, giving the conditions un
der which the “dollar or the daddies” could
be procured. One of the banks 6ent back to
Secretary Sherman the circular it had re
ceived. Down in the corner on the blank
part of the paper on which it was printed
was drawn a man’s head with the thumb on
the nose and the four fingers extended.
Sherman had a laugh over it and indorsed
the back of the caricature as follows: “Re
ferred to the Treasurer of the United States
for appropriate action.” It was taken to
Mr. Gilflllan. He took in the situation at a
glance, and put under Sherman’s indorse
ment the followins: “Respectfully returned
to the Secretary with the statement that in
the absence of the lower portion of the man
represented, appropriate action is impossi
ble.” Thus embellished the circular lies
filed away in the Treasury archives.
If reports are true, Conkling in the Senate
executive session yesterday exceeded him
self iu bitterness towards John Sherman and
Hayes. He is said to have spoken in his
usual belittling way of those two gentle
men, and to have called the former a “char
latan,” and the latter a “liar.” These are
very nice words for a Republican Senator
to use towards a Republican President and
a Republican Secretary of the Treasury.
Tbe Washington hackman is the shrewd
est of them all, and has a good insight
into human nature. A lot of very ordi
nary looking Pbilad’ lpiiians were over to
day trying to induce the Douse Commerce
Committee to give the Delaware river a
$500,000 appr p iatloa for Its improvement.
They had a hearing, and left the capitol by
the east exit. The usual number of hack-
men were there with their crazy vehicles.
The Jehus saw an opening fo»- enterprise.
When the crowd, some fifteen, got near
them they lifted their hats with an easy
“Senator, have a carriage.” The bait took.
All the party rode up town, and four hack-
men were so much in pocket.
Caleb Cushing was the only Attorney
General of the United States who left any
thing behiud him in the Department of
Justice, except portraits of themselves, by
which to be remembered. Mr. Cushing,
who was a thorough Spanish scholar, eol-
le©4ed and left in the department library
about three hundred volumes on Spanish
law. Their value is chiefly antiquarian—
being a complete history of Spanish law as
engrafted from the old Romau Code. They
are recorded as having boen placed in the
library by Mr. Cushing and wiil keep him

Old Coins aud Their Value.
The trade in old coins js not & light
one, nor are its profits small. Fictitious
values have advanced 100 per cent, in
live years, and the tendency is still up
ward. In England there is much de
mand for old American coins, and collec
tors average 100 per cent profit on their
sales. In this country these coins are
becoming very scarce indeed. The cents
aad half-cents of 1793, which belong to
the first series of copper coinage in the
United States, are in great demand. A
Coin of 1787 was designed by Franklin,
aud is extremely rare. One of the silver
dollars made in the old Philadel
phia mint in 1794 is in the
British Museum, and cost that in:
stitution $1,000. Silver quarter dollars
coined in 1823-’27 are worth $100 each.
Silver half dimes, issued from the mint
in 1802, are also at a premium, and all
efforts to obtain any of them to complete
sets, even at the figure of $100, have, it
is said, proved futile. Silver dollars of
1304 are extremely scarce. five so
far as known, beta- ‘ m existen ce. Three

valued at $1,000 each. Half dollars of
1796 and 1797 coinage are worth $50,
and the same is offered for a 1799 cent
or a half cent of 1796. In Philadelphia
lives a numismatist who has been in the
business, the Record says, for twenty
years. Every summer he goes to
England for two months and sells the
coins he has collected. His name is well
known there, and he visits all the princi
pal towns, where he finds men of wealth
willing to pay handsome prices to add
to their store of old and rare money.

In the neighborhood of Jerusalem is a
pleasant valley, which still bears the name
of Solomon's Rose Garden, and where,
according to a Mohammedan myth, a
compact was made between the Wise
Man and the genii of the Morning Land,
which was writ, not in blood, like the
bond between Faust and Mephistopheles,
nor in gall like our modern treaties, but
with saffron and rosewater upon the pe
tals of white roses. In Paris, in the six
teenth century', an edict was issued re
quiring all Jews to wear a rose on their
breast, as a distinguishing mark. In the
Catholic Tyrel, in the present day, be
trothed swains are expected to carry a
rose during the period of their betrothal,
as a warning to young maidens of their
engaged state. Roses have played, and
still play, an important part in popu
lar usages in many other parts
of the world. In Germany young girls
deck their hair with white roses for their
confirmation, their entrance into the
world, and when, at the end of life’s
career, the aged grandmother departs to
her eternal rest, a last gifl, in the shape
of a rose garland, is laid upon her bier.
Julius Casar, it is recorded, was fain to
hide his baldness at the age of thirty
with the produce of the Roman rose
gardens, as Anacreon hid the snows of
eighty under a wreath of roses. At
Mid-Lent the Pope sends a golden rose to
particular churches or crowned heads
whom he designs as especially to honor.
Martin Luther wore a rose in his girdle.
In these instances the rose serves as a
symbol of ecclesiastical wisdom. A rose
was figured on the headsman’s axe of the
Voehmgericht. Many orders, fraterni
ties and societies have taken the rose as
their badge. The * ‘Rosicrucians” may be
instanced. The “Society of the Rose" of
Hamburg, an association of learned la
dies of the seventeenth century, is a less
known example. It was divided into
four sections, the Roses, the Lilies, the
Violets and the Pinks. The holy' Me
dardus instituted in France the custom of
“La Rosiere,” by which, in certain locali
ties, a money-gift and a crown of roses
are bestowed on the devoutest and most
industrious maiden in the Commune.
The infamous Duke de Chartres estab
lished an “Order of the Rose,” with a
diametrically opposite intention, the
avowed object being the undermining of
female virtue. At Treviso a curious ro^-e
feast is, or was, held annually. A castle
was erected with tapestry and silken
hangings, and defended by the best-born
maidens in the city' against the attacks
of the young bachelors, almonds, nut
megs, roses and squirts filled with rose
water being the ammunition freely used
on both sides.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
P AIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure ; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The stom
ach is affected vith loss of appetite
and sickness; the bowels in general
are costive, sometimes alternative with
lax; the head is troubled with pain,
accompanied with a dull, heavy sen
sation in the back part. There is gen
erally a considerable loss of memory,
accompanied wim a painful sensation
of having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight,
dry cough is sometimes an attendant.
The patient complains of weariness
and debility; he is easily startled, his
feet are cold or burning, and he com
plains of a prickly sensation of the
skin; his spirits are low; and although
he is satisfied that exercise w'ould be
beneficial to him, y’et he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try it.
In fact, he distrusts every remedy.
Several of the above symptoms attend
the disease, but cases have occurred
where few of them existed, yet exam
ination of the body, after aeath, has
shown the liver to have been exten
sively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr. C. McLane’s Liver Pills, in
cases of Ague and Fever, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
