TAPPING THE WIRES.
In the House yesterday the bill to pay
John J. Armstrong, of Virginia, $1,400 for
rent of a wharf in Alexandria during the
war, gave rise to another long discussion on
Southern war claims. The bill was gener
ally opposed by Southern members, Mr.
Aiken, of South Carolina, making a strong
speech, and declaring himself opposed to
all Southern war claims. He said the South
ern people had risked everything in the war
aud had lost, and n^w had no favors to ask.
One hundred million dollars had been
drawn from the Treasury to pay South
ern war claims, but from all he
knew of the claimants a grander set of
villains had never drawn a dollar from the
Treasury. Similar views were expressed by
other Southern members. Ben Butler, in
the course of his remarks on the subject,
desired all sore feelings engendered by the
war on both sides to be forgotten, and said
he favored pensioning wounded Confedt-
ra*e soldiers on equal terms with those
who fought in the Federal army. He said
he saw no more reason why a Confederate
soldier, maimed in the honest discharge of
what he believed to be his duty, should not
be pensioned than that a Confederate
General should be put in the Cabinet.
Stanley Matthews was before the Senate
special committee yesteriay, appointed to
investigate his connection with the Southern
electoral frauds iu 1876. He denied havirg
anything to do with the fraudulent count,
and said he was not in the State when the
fraud was committed. He also denied
Anderson’s statements in Mo, and said In
corresponded with Anderson to aid him in
securing what he thought he ought to have,
and to give him no excuse for thinking h
had acted towards him (Anderson) in bad
faith.
A meeting was held in New York yestcr

The Senate Committee on Railways yes
terday heard the argument of Mr. Reiff, of
the American Automatic Telegraph Com
pany, iu favor of the bill to authorize rail
ways to open telegraph lines for public busi
ness. Mr. Lowrey replied for the Western
Union Telegraph Company in opposition to
the bill. He took the ground that if rail
ways were allowed to run telegraph lines
they would be greater monopolies than ever:
that they&already controlled the price of
the fanner’s produce, and if they also trans
mitted his commercial communications they
would control his business altogether. Mr
Simonton, of the New York Associated
Press, will state to the committee to-day the
relations of his association with the West
ern Union Company.
The. Democratic Senatorial caucus, held
in Washington yesterday morning, dis

the laws providing test oaths for jurors and

drawing jurors. It was decided that the
first measure should be carried out. In re
gard to the other two no final action was
taken. The matter was left for future dc
ciflion.

Inducements for Immigration
Georgia.
We have received a copy of the Consti
tutionalust, a paper published at Plain
field. New Jersey, which contains the
following personal notice:
“Mr. James E. White, formerly en
gaged in the dry goods business in this
city, has purchased a farm in Georgia of
Mr. J. M. Stiger. and removed thither
with his family. Several other Plainfield
persons have settled in the same State on
tracts sold them by Mr. Stiger.”
In addition to the paper containing the
above notice, we liaj^ also received from
Mr. J. M. Stiger, 53 Front street, Plain
field, a pamphlet in which he advertises
four thousand homes for saie along the
Atlantic and Gulf Railroad and its
branches, in Clinch, Ware and other
counties, all situated within forty hours
of New York city, and which he offers
on most liberal terms. Of this tract of
land he offers farms for from three to ten
dollars an acre, some furnished with
buildings, fruit, crops and stock, and in
any size wanted. Besides this, he
offers for sale forty acre farms, with
buildings thereon, for two hundred dol
lars, one-half cash and the other half in
three years, without interest. The build
ings are all new and comfortable, erected
of new lumber and contain four rooms,
to which two more rooms will be added
for twenty-five dollars. He also offers
these for rent or for sale for monthly'
payments.
If cheapness of lands and easy terms of
purchase were all that is offered in this
pamplilet. the inducements for immigra
tion might not be regarded as extraor
dinary, since worthless lands in un
healthy climates can readily be pro
cured in many sections of the
United States for little or nothin.
In addition to cheapness, however,
Mr. Stiger offers every other advantage
which can be desired. Says he: “In
South Georgia ever}* kind of grain
every kind of vegetable, and all kinds
of fruit that grow in the United States
do well. It is an extremely healthy cli
mate and the variety of crops peculiar to
to the soil offers inducements not found
elsewhere.” He asserts that there are
no more productive lands in America
than are to be found in what is termed
“the wiregrass region of South Georgia.
Everything needed for home consump
tion is raised there. Potatoes may be
planted in any month. Work can be
carried on with perfect health for twelve
months in the year. “In short,” says
the circular before us, “there is no other
part of the Southern country possessing
the same advantages in climate, soil and
productions, of health, proximity to
schools, churches and centres of trade,
where land can be purchased at as
small a price. Large droves of cattle,
hogs, sheep and horses rove over and
feed on the rich grasses of large tracts of
timber lands, which afford abundant
pasture, with plenty of water from clear
spring brooks, every month in the year.
They .cost but little or nothing, and
increase much more rapidly and con
stantly than in the colder climates of the
North and West.”
These statements, be it borne in mind,
are made by a Northern man residing in
a Northern city—one who, having visited
Southern Georgia, became so much im
pressed with the advantages it possessed
over his own portion of country, that he
was induced to invest in that section
and to endeavor to prevail upon farmers
from the bleak North to follow his ex
ample, and, in so doing, enjoy the many
blessings there in store for any one who,
though of small means, was possessed
of energy and industry. Surely no one
could desire any greater inducements for
building up a pleasant and independent,
home than are herein above enumerated
on the authority of Mr. Stiger himself.
Cheapness, Lealth, fertility of soil, fine
grazing and lumber facilities, educa
tional opportunities, and easy and swift
means of transportation to the Northern
markets are all here combined.
We are very glad to be able, on such
authority as this, to portray the ad
vantages offend by South Georgia. It
will be remembered that General Sher
man in his late letter, in which he
alluded in such glowing and truthful
terms to the future prospects of our
State, confined himself almost wholly to
the northern section. This he did
naturally, because it was in that section
that he chiefly traveled, aud he therefore
had better opportunities for viewing
the country and making himself ac
quainted with its peculiar advantages,
This pamphlet of Mr. Stiger, fol
lowing so closely upon that letter
of General Sherman, seems to show
that in Southern *as well as in Northern
Georgia immigrants and settlers are of
fered every inducement that heart can
wish for, and that throughout the length
and breadth of the Southern Empire
State, homes, independence and a happy
future are simply waiting to be enjoyed.
The two together advertise Georgia most
favorably, and we hope, as the effect
thereof, to soon see all sections of the
State occupied by a hard}', honest and
industrious population, gathering wealth
for themselves, and working together for
the general good of the entire common
wealth.
Death of Dr. Thomas F. Green.
A brief special from Milledgeville to
the Macon Telegraph announces the
death of Dr. Thomas F. Green, Superin
tendent of the State Lunatic Asylum,
which occurred at four o’clock Thurs
day morning. Dr. Green had for some
thirty years been the efficient Superin
tendent of the Asylum, and although
over eighty years old, was vigorous in
mind and body. For the position which
he held so long and so satisfactorily, he
was peculiarly qualified, and it will be
difficult to fill his place.
England, though not a democratic
country, has democratic notions of jus
tice. The Earl of Aylesford recently
went to the Royal Italian Opera House
and insisted upon pushing his way in
without showing his ticket. The officials
respectfully but firmly refused to allow
him to take possession of a box until he
had conformed to the rules of the place,
whereupon his lordship indulged in some
very unlordly language and ended his
abuse by an assault. He was summoned
to Bow street to answer for his conduct,
and was fined £10 by the presiding Jus
tice, who took occasion to say that had
there been any injury to the assaulted
parties the case “could not have been met
by a fine, but must have been sent to the
sessions for trial.” England does not
talk so much about equality and justice
as we do, but when these questions as
sume practical form her law is no re
The Baltimore Gazette suggests that
Mr. Windom, before he proceeds to
enact the role of Moses in leading the
Southern negroes from their homes to
the bleak prairies of the West, should
buy up a large tract of land and sell it
in small lots to the colored children. It
should be a part of }Ir. Windom’s duty,
says the Gazette, to see that the children
do not fall into the hands 6f heartless
speculators.
Of course Mr. Windom and his Radi
cal associates will take care that the
colored children for whose welfare they
feel such lively solicitude shall be
victimized by no outsiders. They will
do all the speculating themselves.
Subsidy in the Senate.
The Senate Committee on Appropria
tions on Tuesday morning agreed to add
to the post office appropriation bill a
section authorizing contracts to be made
by the Post Office Department for semi
monthly steamship mail service between
the United States and Brazil by two
lines, one from New York via Norfolk,
and the other from New Orleans via
Galveston, each to receive a compensa
tion not exceeding $150,000 per annum.
The committee recommend an appropri
ation for this scheme during the next
fiscal year of $200,000, only a part of
Mr. Roach’s steamers being ready to ren
der this high priced mail service. The
present mail service of the United States
to Brazil costs about $1,450 a year, but
under this proposed new arrange
ment each steamer which carries a mail
bag out to Rio and back again will re
ceive $12,500 for it. There are, says the
Baltimore Sun, two ways in which to
look at this scheme. The first is the
fact of the subsidy itself. What possi
ble right has Congress to take the money
in the Treasury and appropriate it to
advance the private enterprises of any
one man or set of men ? It is said, aud
it is believed, that all the bills and
amendments for this project have been
so drawn that the vessels to perform the
proposed service can only be built and
launched from a single iron shipyard at
Chester, on the Delaware. Competition
is excluded and, it is believed, practi
cally made impossible.
The next thing to look at, continues
the Sun, is the invidiousness of the
scheme. By what right does Congi ess
assume to subsidize steamships for the
benefit of New York and Norfolk, New
Orleans and Galveston, to the exclusion
of Portland, Boston, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Charleston, Savannah and
Mobile ? New York is the rival of Bal
timore in the Brazil coffee trade. By
what warrant of law or equity can Con
gress take $150,000 a year from the
Treasury to compel the people of the
West to buy their coffee in New’
York instead of in Baltimore ? Such
discrimination in favor of one city
against its rival in trade in another State
would constitute one of the mo:
iniquitous acts ever done under a repub
lican form of government. It is to be
hoped, for the honor of Congress, that
this monopoly subsidy amendment will
not be adopted.
A special meeting of the Baltimore
Board of Trade was convened Tuesday
to consider what further action should
be taken to defeat, if possible, this inju
rious subsidy scheme. A series of reso
lutions was adopted, together with
strong but temperate memorial, and
committee of leading merchants w’as
delegated to present both to Congress.
The memorial is signed by the Baltimore
Board of Trade and the leading shipping
merchants in the Brazilian trade in that
city and contains an unanswerable array
of facts and figures in opposition to the
proposed subsidy.
The Brazilian subsidy scheme is a job
for the benefit of Mr. John Roach, the
shipbuilder, and a ring of interested ind
viduals at the points from which the
proposed line of steamers is to sail. Its
adoption by Congress would be a gross in
justice, as it would add to the burthen of
the taxpayers of the country for the.
benefit of those interested in a purely
private enterprise.

STANLEY
ALLEGED
Senator Matthews.
Last week the select committee of the
Senate appointed to inquire into the
charges and allegations as to the irnpro
per connection of Mr. Stanley Matthew’s
with the men who were responsible for
the robbery of electoral votes, etc., had
a secret meeting. At that meeting a reso
lution was passed that, irrespective of
party, or of personal respect for a bro
ther Senator, the investigation should be
rigorous and searching. On Tuesday the
committee had another meeting, when
Senator Matthews appeared and was
cross-examined by Senator Whyte, w r ho
did not vote for the resolution adopted
last week. The members of the com
mittee were again pledged to se
crecy as to its proceedings, which it
understood, however, are to be
made public in a few days. But
seems that enough has been learned
to show that Mr. Matthews is put in a
position anything but enviable. “He w’as
fqrccd to admit,” says a Washington dis
patch, “by the searching cross-exami
nation to which he was subjected that he
had been in correspondence with men
some of whom the press of his own
party have declared should be in the
penitentiary. Mr. Matthews is under
stood to have excused himself by the in
timation that what he did was to save
tLe administration from scandal. It is
said that his abashed demeanor was
painful.”
It was generally understood at the
time, that Stanley Matthew’s was the
confidential agent of Mr. Hayes in the
various negotiations by which the elec
toral fraud was consummated. To secure
the prize of the Presidency for his friend
Hayes, he was compelled to do a vast
amount of dirty work, and he has had a
great deal of shuttling and hiding to do
since. It seems a little hard, however,
that those who have profited by his dis
reputable acts should unite in a pro
ceeding “irrespective of party or person
al respect,” to make him the scape-goat
of the great conspiracy.
By Telegraph to the Morning Xeics.
Washington, February 14.—In the House,
the bill to pay John J. Armstrong, of Vir
ginia, $1,840, for rent of a wharf in Alexan
dria during the war, was discussed at
length.
Mr. Conger started off in opposition to
the bill, .contending that If its princi
ple was a correct one, the troops
that marched acruss the long bridge
ought to have been preceded by army
wagons loaded with specie to meet the ene
my, and pay the o wners of property which
was to be used for war purposes what they
demanded for their property.
Mr. Shelley, of Alabama, had no sympathy
generally with these war claims. There
were no Confederates presenting such
claims. There were not in Alabama twenty
war claims, and he certainly would not vote
for any Alabama claim wherein loyalty was
set up.
Mr. Butler.of Massachusetts, expressed his
views on the war claims. So long as such
claims were presented for damages done
during the war or for property occupied
during the war, so long would there be mis
understanding between the sections of the
Union. Both sides desired that by-gones
should be by-gones, and that all about the
war should be forgotten. There was
one thing, however, which could
not be forgotten, and that was
the valor and patriotism of those wto
fought for the Uniou iu the hour of its
direst peril. Nor would the bravery and
earnestness—he might say loyalty to the
cause which they espoused—of those who
fought on the other side, be forgotten. He
was willing that the States should be put
upon the same ground that the fathers of
the republic had put them upon in the war
of the revolution, by assuming their debts for
raising and recruiting troops, and after that
let no claim arise out of the war except the
claims of maimed and disabled soldiers, and
with that determination on the part of the
people of the country,both North and South,
the time would not be far distant when the
feeling of brotherhood would cause the gov
ernment to take charge of the maimed and
disabled soldiers of the Southern army, re
membering their courage, their steadfastness
and their gallantry, and forgetting the mis
taken judgment which made them fight upon
the side they did.
Mr. White, of Pennsylvania, opposed the
bill as a war claim for the use of and dama
ges to property in an insurrectionary State.
Mr. Aiken, of South Carolina, declared
himself opposed to all Southern war claims.
He was glad to hear that some members
on the Republican side were liberal
enough to vote compensation for
damages to religious, educational and
eleemosynary institutions at the
South. For himself his independence would
not allow him to do even that. The South
ern people should go back to the first prin
ciples and go to work aud rebuild such in
stitutions themselves. They had risked
everything in war and had no favors to ask
from those who had whipped them. He
honestly believed tffat if the Southern
States bad been represented in Congress in
1S71-2-3 as they were represented to-day,
there would be no such cry as
that. «A hundred millions had
been drawn from the Treasury to pay
Southern war claims. Judging all of
them from those that he knew, he could
say of those claimants that a grander set of
villains had never drawn a dollar out of the
Treasury. His own little State had been
represented in Congress by men who
were now, God only knew where.
They bad never been South Carolinians,
aud yet they had voted the claims of raeu
who had not a just title to a dollar. He
honestly believed the Treasury was safer in
the hands of the men who defended the
Confederacy thau in the hands of those
who held it to-day. The people of South
Carolina, no matter what their rebelliou:
proclivities had been heretofore, were
to-day as strong and united in the defense
of the government as the people
of any State in New England or the North
west. Himself aud those of his colleagues
w ho truly represented that State were here
to protect the Treasury, and the best way to
protect it, so far as^.hese claims were eon
cerned, was to drive every one of them
from the halls of Congress. [Applause on
the Democratic side.]
Mr. Keifer, of Ohio, criticised Butler i
speech, and citing the part of it in regard
to pensioning the Confederate soldiers, asked
whether he understood him correctly.
Butler—I repeat that whenever the ques
tion of the depletion of the Treasury by
these claims Is over, I think that the pity, the
humanity of the North, will take care of the
ma*med of the war. If you wish to know
it, I see no more reason why a Confederate
soldier, maimed and crippled in the honest
discharge of wliat he believed his duty
should not be pensioned, than why a Con
federate General who honestly believed he
was doing his duty should be put into
Republican Cabinet. [General applause
and clapping hands on the Democratic
side.]
The debate continuing at great leugtb,
Mr. Blackburn, on the question of allegec
disloyalty of Southern seminaries, asked,
who bad shed lustre on American arms be
fore the war broke out; who bad not been a
graduate of West Point and had not there
earned from Raw'les’ Commentaries
the Constitution everything ifiat be ever
knew of the limitations of the Constitution.
That handbook of the nation was certain
ly the most advanced advocate of the right
of secession. He entered his protest against
the injustice done to the South in imputing
to it any responsibility for these war claims.
The South did not ask for the pensioning
of her crippled soldiars; she had
staked her all on her convictions,
and had lost. She had not complained, and
would never in future complain. She bore
her losses, and 6imply protested that it was
neither generous, nor kind, nor manly, nor
merciful to drag her into this question, and
to make her the football of the passions of
men who seemed to have at heart the serv
ing of partisan purposes rather than the
advancement of the common good. [Ap
plause on Democratic side.]
Mr. Reagan, of Texas, expressed the wish
that some means should be adopted either
to wholly exclude all 6uch claims or to refer
them all to a tribunal where they could be
passed upon on their merits. He regretted
that his friends on the Democratic 6ide
should have allowed themselves to be
dated in the attitude of favoring claims
: or which they had no svmpathy.
Without action on the bill, the commit
tee rose and the House took a recess until
p. m., the evening session to be for de
bate only.

MATTHEWS AND THE
ELECTION FRAUDS.
Washington, February 14.—The select
committee of the Senate appointed at the
instance of Senator Matthews for the pur
pose of inquiring into his connection with
the alleged election frauds, have made
public the testimony of that gentleman
given several days ago. On appearing be
fore the committee, the Senator said he
did not deem it necessary for his vindica
tion that Anderson should be compelled to
attend. Being sworn, he said with a
view of enabling the committee rightfully to
understand his relation to the whole subject
it was necessary that he should make a
statement in reference to his visit to New’
Orleans in November, 1876, at the request
of Grant, to witness with other gentlemen
the canvass and count of the votes for
electors. In answer to the question as to
what connection he had with any frauds or
any wrongs committed in the conduct and
returns of the election, Le said it was
apparent there was no place for any such
connection, for he was not present iu the
State or at the place where anything of the
sort was possible, and lie knew
nothing in reference to the mattter. He
was quite sure he did not see
Anderson while in New’ Orleans.
He first saw him on March 23d,
1877, and several times subsequently. He
denied emphatically the promises to use his
influence to influence the nomination of
anybody as Collector of Customs at New
Or'eans. These statements were pure fabri
cations. The Senator never heard of the
so-called Sherman letter until it became a
matter of public notoriety through the
press. In none of his interviews did An
derson in any manner intimate that he had
been a party to any misdoings in respect to
misrepresenting the true result of
the elections. The reasons that actuated
him in corresponding with Anderson
w’ere to aid him in securing what he
thought he ought to have, and to give
him no excuse for believing he had not act
ed in good faith. After further explana
tion, the committee decided they did not
desire to call any more witnesses at pres
ent, and the investigation here rests.
WASHINGTON NOTES.
Washington, February 14.—The Senate
Committee on Railways heard to-day the ar
gument of Mr. Reiff, of the American Autc
matic Telegraph Company, who spoke in
favor of the proposed bill for authorizing
railroad companies to open the telegraph

conferred no additional rights but raised
questions as to the power of the Western
Union to make exclusive contracts. Mr.

tending that the bill was promoted by defeat
ed lititgants and disappointed competitors
of his company, and was intended to start
them in business, if the bill passed, the
railroads would absorb all the telegraph
lines and become a still greater monopoly.
At present they fixed the prices of the far
mer’s produce, and if they transmitted his
commercial communications they w’ould
control his business altogether. Mr. Low rey
will conclude his argument to-morrow with
special reference to the company’s contracts!
aud Mr. Simonton, of the New York Asso
ciated Press, will state before the commit-
tee fab company’s relation to the Western
Union.
The Committee on Ways and Means will
to-morrow consider the letter of Secretary
Sherman, addressed to Representative At
kins, on the subject of legislation to supply
a sufficiency of means to meet the expendi
tures of the next fiscal year, the estimates
having been increased by the act to pay ar
rearages of pensions.
The House Committee on Indian Affairs
decided this morning to report to the

the bill to authorize the Secretary of the In
terior to allot land in severalty to the Indi
ans residing on the reservations w ithin the

Senator Bruce, of Mississippi, was called
