TAPPING THE WIRES.
Before the Potter Committee yesterday
the affidavits of Judge H. C. Ripley and II.
M. McIntosh (the latter the Tallahassee cor
respondent of the Morning News during
the canvass of the returns of the last Presi
dential election), were read. They were
forwarded by Attorney General W. A. Cocke,
and were in support of his assertion that ex-
Goyernor Noyes was closeted with the mem
bers of the returning board during the count,
and which assertion Noyes denied.
In the Senate yesterday, Mr. Windom, of
Minnesota, presented the petition of the
Negro Co-Operative Association of Shreve
port, Louisiana, favoring the passage of 11 e
resolution in regard to the migration of tLe
colored people. It was signed by a lifr; e
number of ministers, representing the co -
ored congregations of that place. It wi s
laid on the table, the resolution now beii g
before the Senate.
Mr. Hale, of Maine, introduced In the
Senate a resolution directing the Committee
on the Judiciary to report a joint resolution
proposing a constitutioual amendment to
prohibit the payment of war claims except
to loyal claimants. The resolution went over
without action. A motion was made to sus
pend the rules for the purpose of pas-!ng the
bill appropriating $26,852,200 for payment
of arrears of pensions. The bill was so
amended as to include special pensioners
and pensions granted on account of so'
dlers who enlisted in the war, but who died
from disabilities incurred after the cessa
tion of hostilities
Mr. J. W. Simonton, General Agent of tLe
Associated Press, made a statement before
the 8enate committee considering the bill to
authorize railroad telegraph lines, on the
connection of the Western Union Company
with the Association. lie showed that the
Piess Association Is not in any true sense a
monopoly, that it neither lives nor prospers
by the favor of the telegraph company, but
is absolutely independent of that corpora
tion, and that postal telegraphy, or any
governmental intervention to fix tele
graph rates, would only strengthen the As
Bociated Press power, and proportionately
weaken its competition.
Latest reports from Capetown show that
all is quiet on the front, and the feeling is
much calmer. The Zulus had been re
pulsed from the fort on the Lower Tugela.
The reports of a mutiny and massacre of
officers by the native soldiers are contra
dicted.
Another famine is imminent in India un
less rain falls within a fortnight.
A financial panic is reported at Iteval, on
account of the failure of the mercantile
house of Eggers A: Co.
Pleuro-pneumouia is spreading in Eng
land.
Ben Pope, alias Rabbit, the colored jockey
who rode the mare Mary Walton on the
last day of the Charleston races, has con
fessed that he pulled the mare all the way
around the track, and so allowed Ben Hill to
win. He was given twenty-five dollars
cash, and a pool ticket of thirty-nine dollars
on Hill by S. AtchisoD. the latter's owner,
to do 6o. Both the jockey and Atchison
were ruled off the track by the Jockey
Club, and have been arrested for a con
8piracy to defraud. Great indignation
against them is felt in sporting circles.
Reinforcements have been sent to Lord
Chelmsford in Africa in sufficient numbers
to bring his infantry force up to nearly the
same strength that it was prior to the disas
ter of the 22d ultimo.
The great Liverpool strike has practically
collapsed, and work is being resumed all
along the line of the docks. The sailors
continue to hold out.
Snow fell in Richmond, Va., for three
hours yesterday. It was followed by rain
and hail for the remainder of the day.
As soon as the ice floats out of the Ohio
river, Paul Boyton will swim from Pittsburg
down that and the Mississippi river to the
Gulf of Mexico.
Judge W. B. Fleming arrived in Washing
ton yesterday, and was sworn in as the suc
cessor of the late Hon. Julian Hartridge.
The London Tunen, in its financial article,
says : “The collection of the government
revenue has given the Bank of England
Buch control over the money market that it
is not probable money will be cheaper than
at present until after the end of the finan
cial year, April 4th.”
The general deficiency bill was passed by
the House yesterday. The total sum recom
mended by the bill Is $257,904,057. There
are but two more appropriation bills to be
passed—the legislative, executive and judi
cial, and the sundry civil.
Senator Eustis presented to the Senate
yesterday a protest of the Louisiana Legis
lature against the action of the United
States Circuit Court at New Orleans in ar
resting persons and bringing them to that
city for trial for alleged violations of the
election laws. The protest states that such
action is in derogation of the United States
Constitution and pregnant with the gravest
consequences, and that the people of the
State could not but protest against such
harsh and unwarrantable persecutions.
For once in her life Cuba has a Cap
tain General of whom she ought to be
proud. It is said that Martinez Campos,
so far from striving to enrich himself at
the expense of the Cubans, has done all
within his power to assist them in restor
ing the prosperity of the country, so
long desolated by war, and that on the
King’s Saint Day, the 23d ult., he dis
tributed $400,000 among different chari
table societies. About this last named
act there was one beauty that is rarely
found adorning the benevolent deeds of
the rulers of that political latitude. In
giving to charity so large a sum of
money, he puts his hands, not into the
people’s pocket, but into his own. The
QueeD of the Antilles has seldom had a
ruler constructed upon the model of Cap
tain General Martinez Campos.
How Appropriation Bills are
Passed in Pennsylvania.—It will be
remembered that a little unpleasantness
occurred in that orderly and law abiding
State, Pennsylvania, summer before last,
which was finally suppressed by the
military. The taxpayers are now called
upon to settle the cost of maintaining
the peace, for which purpose a bill is
now before the Legislature appropria
ting $4,000,000. The Philadelphia Record
says the bill will be passed, and adds:
“The reason for such confidence arises
from the assurance that $2,000,000 are
to be used to cover actual losses, while
the other $2,000,000 are to be devoted to
breaking down the opposition to the
passage of the bill/’
The Latest Discussion of Southern
War Claims in the House.
Every Radical in the United States,
no matter how stalwart he may be or
how very anxious he may have sud
denly grown over the depletion and rob
bery of the United States Treasury
should henceforth possess his soul
perfect peace and dismiss from his mind
all apprehensions of national bankruptcy
to result from the payment of South
ern war claims. The discussion which
ensued on this subject in the House
on Friday last while considering the bill
to pay one John J. Armstrong, of
Virginia, $1,840 for rent of
wharf in Alexandria during the war,
has finally and forever routed the danger
so far as Southern Democrats are con
cerned. Without exception, every South
ern member who spoke on that occasion
expressed himself in most emphatic terms
as opposed to the ^payment of any such
claims whatever. 3Ir. Aiken, of South
Carolina, in particular, gave utterance
to the general Southern sentiment
in this regard when he said that
his independence would not allow
him to ask even for compensation
for damages to religious, educational
and eleemosynary institutions in the
South during the war. Said he: “The
Southern people should go back to first
principles, and rebuild such institutions
themselves. They had risked ever}’
thing in war and had no favors to ask of
their victors.”
These sentiments were, as we have
said, echoed by ever}' Southern member
who spoke on this bill, and they reflect
the feelings of the entire Democracy of
this section. They are the sentiments
which have alwa}*s been expressed
in these columns, and Senator Hill
when he lately took similar grounds in
the Senate, simply stated the known opin
ions of his constituency and the entire
State. We hope, therefore, to hear no
more of that Radical outcry about ‘ ‘rebel”
claims, while we call the attention of
those Radicals who have heretofore raised
it so lustily, to this discussion, and to the
further point made in Mr. Aiken’s
speech, viz: that the $100,000,000
heretofore drawn from the public purse
by Southern claimants was drawn under
the Radical rajiine, and that not a dollar
passed into “rebel” hands. On the con
trary, it had gone, as far as he knew, into
the pockets of “as grand a set of ras
cals as ever drew a dollar from
the Treasury.” These things, added to
the fact that Southern war claims are
barred by a constitutional amendment,
ought surely to enable those sensitive
Radicals, who are so solicitous lest some
one else than themselves and friends may
rob the Treasury, to dismiss their fears.
In a word, they may learn from this dis
cussion that Southern war claims cannot
be collected without an amendment
to the Constitution, and further, that
Southern Democrats will see to it in the
future that Southern Radicals will
not again get their hands upon the
public moneys as they did in the days
when Grant, Blaine and Colfax were the
three leading spirits of Radicalism and
when the country was overwhelmingly
under Radical control.
The most singular and startling result
of this discussion, however, is the posi
tion taken by Ben Butler on this ques
tion. He was opposed to the payment
of Southern claims, but he assumed t
position much more advanced than that.
He advocated that by-gones should be
by-gones, that the bloody chasm should
be most effectually closed, and that the
government should pension off maimed
and wounded soldiers of the late Con
federate army. This kind of talk from
the man who, of all men in the country,
made himself most obnoxious duriDg the
war, and who has been a ringleader
in all schemes for Southern oppression
since the war—the arch-impeacher of
Andrew Johnson because he was dis
posed to be just towards the South; the
active advocate of the supplemental civil
rights bill, and the champion of the in
famous force bill—must excite surprise.
It can only be accounted for on one
theory. That Butler is, despite all his
unpopularity, ambitious to reach the
Presidency; that he is shrewd, smart and
cunning, and foreseeing the future
power of the South in the country, is
desirous of making friends in this sec
tion for forwarding his ambitious
schemes. This is the only theory upon
which we can account for Butler’s ex
treme chauge of base. If it is correct
it is certainly gratifying to the Southern
mind, and that it must be correct is indi
cated by the well-known hatred which
that doughty warrior naturally feels for
everything Southern, or likely to benefit
this section.
Should the over loyal and anxious
Radical patriot, so-called, see in Butler’s
remarks renewed danger to the country
from a traitorous raid on the Treasury,
he can, on this point also, quiet his ap
prehensions. Southern maimed heroes
do not expect government pensions.
They gave their legs and arms, as they
did their property, to the lost cause, and
they do not look for compensation from
the Federal Government therefor. Butler
will not succeed iu causing his record
to be forgotten by his sudden mag
nanimity; neither will “rebel” pensions
nor “rebel” claims ever be the means of
increasing the burden of taxation.
Dom Pedro, of Brazil, has contributed
to the Washington monument a stone
weighing nearly eight tons, “to perpetu
ate the memory of the illustrious father
of the American republic,” for whom he
cherishes the warmest admiration. The
stone, which is engraved and inscribed,
is now in New York.
Blaine asks a heavy subsidy for the
benefit of the Maine manufacturers.
They have already been heavily subsid
ized by the protective tariff, but it doesn’t
seem to give them business.
Senator Gordon will deliver the com
mencement oration at the Mississippi
University, Mr. Jefferson Davis having
declined the invitation because of the
precarious condition of his health.
Awful, almost beyond belief, ^re the
accounts of the famine in Northern
Brazil—a region where no famine ever
should occur. The famine is said to be
even worse than the pestilence, though
both have raged—the pestilence being
the plague. The population of the
province of Ceara has been reduced
from 900,000 to 400,000 within a period
of three months. The village of Jagua-
ribe-Mirim is full of famishing children
almost skeletons—whose parents have
fled, unable to endure the sight of their
children's sufferings, and instances are
given of parents having eaten their own
children. All the roads throughout the
province, for leagues on leagues, are
filled with the dying and the dead.
Secretary Evarts has received from 31r.
Welsh, American 3Iinister to England,
a communication in which that gentle
man states that the salary of $17,500 a
year, which he now receives, is not suffi
cient to sustain the dignity of his office.
Poor 3Ir. Welsh ! He should imitate his
illustrious predecessor, and get up a Lit
tle Emma gold mine stock speculation,
or go to teaching the cockneys how to
play poker. In that way he might eke
out his salary and be able to live com
fortably. Or if he hasn’t the wit for some
6uch expedient let him resign.
The Higher Civilization In New York.
A number of clergymen held a con
vention at Utica, New York, on Friday,
to consider what can be done to put
down and do away with the organization
in that State known as the “Oneida
Community.” This concern is said to
number 240 persons, men and women,
who believe themselves to be “perfec
tionists”—that is, so thoroughly surren
dered to religion as to be free from the
dominion of sin, and worthy of rising
above the conventional laws by which
the morality of society is supposed to be
regulated ; hence they have, like the an
gels in heaven, neither marriage nor giv
ing in marriage, but live somewhat
common. They are a sort of husbands
and wives as long as they choose to be,
and then they change off for other part
ners. This arrangement, which is not of
the heavenly, but rather of the earthly
order, naturally gives offense to fastid
ious moralists outside of the Commu
nity; but it is said that the people of the
region round about the establishment
are inclined to take sides with them
against all opposition, finding that their
farm and household products are always
as good, and generally better than repre
sented when offered for sale, and the
members are famed for strict integrity
and perfect honesty. They seek to make
no proselytes, but to live by themselves,
in their own way. The founder of this
singular people, Johu Humphrey Noyes,
was a graduate of Dartmouth College,
and he is said to be a sincere and consist
ent man, strongly imbued with the
“higher law” and “advanced civiliza
tion” doctrines. It is claimed that the
society has not violated any of the laws
of New York. If that be so, then the
law regulating marriage in New York
must be very loose.

The Chinese Immigration (Question.
Senator Sargent, in his speech in favor
of the bill restricting Chinese immigra-
tiod, made one statement of impor
tance. He said the Chinese Embassy at
Washington had declined to discuss the
question of a modification of the treaty.
The reasons for declension are not
given. If the action of the Embassy in
dicates a settled purpose on the part of
the Chinese Government to insist upon
the execution of the treaty as it stands,
it puts an end to diplomatic discussion.
If the Embassy declines because it is
not authorized to deal with the matter
at Washington, its refusal is not so grave
an affair.
This Chinese immigration question bids
fair to be a troublesome one. It seems
to have been pretty generally determined
that the “man and brother” principle is
to be extended to “the heathen Chinee,”
and yet, while the Burlingame treaty
stands, this government cannot, without
violating good faith, pass any law pro
hibiting Chinese immigration to this
country.
This fact, however, would not be per
mitted to stand in the way of prohibi
tory legislation demanded by the popu
lar ciamor, if it was not for the further
fact that a violation of the treaty would
provoke retaliation on the part of the
Chinese Government seriously damaging
to American interests in China,
where large numbers of American
capitalists are engaged in lucrative com
merce under the protection of Chinese
laws guaranteeing to them the rights of
trade and domicile in that country. The
abrogation of the Burlingame treaty
would at once break up American trade
in China, and transfer to England a large
commerce now enjoyed by Americans.
Fractional Currency Outstanding.
—In February, 1876, the issue of frac
tional paper currency was stopped, and
all that currency presented was redeemed
in fractional silver. Since then the frac
tional silver has gradually taken the place
of the fractional paper. When the issue
of the latter ceased there was outstand
ing of it $45,000,000. A commission
appointed by Secretary Sherman esti
mated that of this amount about $8,000,-
000 would never be presented for re
demption, having been destroyed or lost.
It now appears that the estimate was
rather too small. There is now outstand
ing about $16,000,000 fractional paper
currency, of which amount about
$2,000,000 is in three cent and five cent
note3. It looks as if of the total out
standing amount—$16,000,000—there will
ultimately be redeemed only about
$4,000,000, leaving Uncle Sam the gainer
by $12,000,000. The rapidity of the
daily redemption of fractional paper cur
rency has steadily decreased since 1876,
until now it is a very insignificant sum.
It filters into the Treasury now and then,
however, in small sums.
The Greenback members-elect of the
next Congress are to meet in conference
at Washington on the 22d inst. 3Ir.
Dewees, the Acting Chairman of the
Greenback National Executive Commit
tee, says that seventeen members, elected
as Independents and Nationals, have sig
nified their intention to be present, and
have also put in writing their determina
tion to join in forming a new party or
ganization. “Not a single member,”
said 3Ir. Dewees, “ who was elected as a
National, has failed to put himself upon
record as against affiliation with either of
the old parties. Ladd, of 3Iaine, is the
only one al»out which there is any doubt,
and he has written me that we can rely
on him. We also expect to get the sup
port of three or four members who were
not elected on our ticket, but who are
with us in sentiment. Our strength in
caucus will be from thirteen to twenty-
two. This gives us the balance of power,
and we propose to get recognition in the
organization of the House.”
In view of the doubt expressed in
some quarters only a few weeks ago as
to whether resumption would succeed,
it is curious, says the Washington Star,
to note the ease with which it has been
effected. It is already so fully a matter
of fact ^hat people scarcely appreciate
that greenbacks were ever at a discount.
Indeed, in a certain way greenbacks are
now at a premium. People will take
them in preference to gold, and some of
our Washington banks actually find gold
accumulating upon their hands, some
thing as silver does.
Tire “Knights of Lauor.”—The
Miner*' Journal, at Pottsville, Pa., pub
lishes a letter of President Gowen,
of the Philadelphia and Reading Rail
road, exposing the secrets of an organi
zation known as the Knights of Labor,
which has been in existence in Schuyl
kill county for over a year. He says a
general miners’ strike was ordered by the
society to take place on February 16th in
case the men were not paid their wages
by that time, but a postponement was
ordered until the 20th instant, by which
time all will be paid. He gives the
names of a committee called “3IcNulty’s
gang,” appointed and organized for the
purpose of burning coal breakers and
other property in case of a strike, and
gives other details of the organization.
The publication of this letter creates a
sensation only second to the exposure of
the notorious 3Iolly 3Iaguire society.
THE GENERAL DEFICIENCY BILL.
Washington, February 17.—Among other
appropriations made by the general de
ficiency bill, as agreed upon by the House
commtttee on Saturday and passed by the
House to-day, are the following: For the
payment of judgments of the United States
Court of Claims, $8,478,692; for the addi
tional amount to be used in suppressing
illicit distilling for the year 1879, $25,000:

several tribes in the Indian Terri
tory, $25,000; for the expenses of the
United States Courts for the year 1878,
$110,000; for the pay and traveling
expenses and general expenses for the fiscal
year of 1S79, $700,000; to supply a deficien
ey in the appropriations for the expenses of
the District of Columbia for the fiscal year
ending June 30tb, 1879, $46,053,323. This
amount is taken in connection with the
$1,250,000 appropriated by the act __
June 20, 1^78, for the geueral expenses
of the District of Columbia beffig, fifty pe
centunf of the expenses of the District Gov
ernment for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1879; for the public printing and binding,
ami printing the Congressional records,
$350,000. For the compensation of postmas
ters for 1S79, $24,192,137. The total sum
recommended by the bill is $257,904,05'
There are but two appropriation bill
to be passed by the House, namely
the legislative, executive and judicial
(which is pending), and the sundry civil
bill, which will iu aii probability be ready to
report by the time the legislative bill is dis
posed of.
THE PROTEST OF THE LOUISIANA LEGISLA
TUBE.
Washington, February 17.—The concur
rent resolution of the Louisiana Legislature,
presented to-day by Mr. Eustis iu the
Senate, and referred to the Committee on
the Judiciary, sets forth that the Constitu
tion of the United States has not conferred
the right of suffrage upon any one, and the
United States have no voters of their own
iu the States, but the matter of suffrage is
left entirely with the States themselves.
That sections 5,506 and others following of
the Revised Statutes relating to supervisors
of election are in derogation of the
Constitution of the United States; that the
Federal Government, by the sections, as
sumes the plenary jurisdiction of the matter
of suffrage without reference to the action
of the States as such, and without interfer
ence on their part to deny or abridge the
right of suffrage, and that the proceedings
of the United States Circuit Court at New
Orleans In arresting persons and bringing
them to that city for trial were a hardship
aud pregnant with the gravest conse
quences, and that the people of the State
eould not but protest energetically against
such harsh and unwarrantable persecutions.

The Senate Committee on Agriculture,
acting under their special authority to in
vestigate the alleged existence in this coun

Long Island, under the direction of the New
York Legislature, aud also agreed to invite
the testimony from Professor John Gamgee,
of England.
The Senate is still engaged in discussing

Mr. Randolph, of New Jersey, was, at his
own request, excused from further service
on the Teller Committee.

experience, is dead.
STRIKERS RESUME WORK.
Liverpool, February 17.—The com por
ters who were on a strike have resumed
work.
With his swelling abdomen and awful
gestures, old Zach Chandler, who never
in his life smelt blood or powder, thus
addressed the Michigan caucus that made
him Senator on Thursday;
“I predict, my fellow-citizens, that
whether you nominate for your standard
bearer in 1880 the man who they didn’t
love and did hate and yet fear—U. S.
Grant [prolonged applause]—or whether
you nominate that gallant standard
bearer, Blaine, of Maine [great ap-
E lause]—or whether you nominate John
herman, the present Secretary of the
Treasury [mild applause]—that you and
I will march shoulder to shoulder
to rescue from the grasp of the
rebel Generals and rebel Brigadier^ the
capital of the nation.”
The salary bill just passed by the
3Iaine Senate fixes the compensation of
the Governor at $1,500, of the Supreme
Court Judges at $2,000, of the Attorney
General at $1,000, of the Secretary of
State at $1,200, of the State Treasurer at
$1,600, and of the Adjutant General at
$900. The salaries of minor State officers
were also reduced. The next move of the
Legislature should be to change the
spelling of the name of the^State from
3Iaine to M-e-a-n.
Slanderers of the Democratic Party
The Atlanta Constitution, commenting
upon the tone of the Independents of
Georgia, after showing, in a lengthy ar
tide, that the State is in excellent plight,
both as to her credit abroad and material
prosperity at home, sums up thus:
“ Is it not plain then that the assaults
on the Democratic party by this inde
pendent press are wanton, reckless and
baseless? How squarely and serenely the
truth stands out in the face of their
querulous, complaining pipings! A
State in profound peace, harmoniously'
aud tranquilly working out its destiny—
the expenses cut down to its last limits,
the income increased, the taxes reduced
one fourth, the price of the bonds gone
up above any other State, the interest
rate cut down one half, the most ad
mirable system in all the departments,
universal and growing prosperity from
border to border: these are the facts! How
contemptible in the face of these things
do the^shrieks of ‘rings,’ ‘fraud’ and
‘corruption* become! It is a matter of
congratulation that the people have a
judgment of their own, and will not be
misled by the rabid writing of the men
who seek to break down the Democratic
party. They will look at the facts for
themselves, and will judge the party by
the results it has achieved. This is all
the Democracy' of Georgia has ever
&<ked—to be judged by its record—to be
estimated by its work. As an answer
for the present to the abuse of the mal

two facts will outweigh a world of
empty' words.”
Senator Kellogg Charged with
Per.jury.—It is more than likely, says
the New York Sun, that Senator Kel
logg, of Louisiana, may have a disagree
able experience before many days. It is
distinctly charged that Kellogg com
mitted a willful perjury when before
the Potter Committee last summer, in
the matter of the Richland protest. Evi
dence of this in his own handwriting ex
ists, it is said, in the hands of a Louisiana
politician now in Washington, who is no
friend of Kellogg. The intention Is said
to be not only to bring the subject to
the attention of the Senate during the
present session, but to procure Kellogg’s
criminal indictment in the District of
Columbia.
The Republican Senators, it is now
said, have resolved to dismiss Senator
Butler, of South Carolina, from his seat,
if possible, before the 4th of 3Iarch, and
to admit Corbin. 3Ir. Butler was duly
elected, but the party of moral ideas
would like to get rid of about as many
Democrats as possible. Don • Cameron
objects to this proceeding, as do one or
two other Republicans. Cameron thinks
it will do the party no good to steal a
Senator just as their power over the Sen
ate is expiring. But he has been taken
in hand by the other Republican Sena
tors, and given to understand that he
must yield and obey orders. It is an
nounced that the pressure upon him is so
seveie that he can hardly resist it.
Grant’s henchmen and bottle-holders
have, it seems, worked up a glorification
reception for him in Japan. The Wash
ington Star announces that “the Japan
ese are preparing to receive General
Grant. A residence is to be built for his
reception in Y'eddo Bay'.”
