the State of Ceorgia of $72,000, interest on
money loaned the Federal Government dur
ing the war of 1812.
The House, in committee of the whole

visors from the Interior Department to the
Governors of the States, but if any Governor
fails to appoint, the Secretary of the Interior
to make such appointment.
Thomas C. Dunn, one of the South Caro

Committee yesterday and the day before.
His general statements are to the effect tha:
he never made any negotiations with Hard
Solomon for the sale of the vote of the re
turning board. He allirmed that the matte
was earnestly pressed upon him, but while
he did not wish to vaunt his virtue, he de
clared he could not be bought by even the
munificent oilers made to him.
The Senate Committee on Transportation

tained that from any cause the affairs of the
company have been mismanaged. The Sec

The House held an evening session on the
legislative, executive and judicial appro
priation bill yesterday. Mr. Herbert,
Alabama, offered an amendment in regard
to the mode of drawing grand and petit
jurors, and repealing sections S20 and 821
of the revised statutes. Mr. Southard, of
Ohio, offered an amendment repealing the
sections providing for supervisors of elec
tions. A decision was reserved.
The $27,000,000 Deficiency. —
Washington dispatch says: “There will
probably be some interesting discussions
in the Committee on Ways and Means
relative to supplying the threatened
deficiency of $27,000,000 spoken of in
Secretary Sherman’s letter. Mr. Fer
nando Wood, the Chairman of the com
mittee, Judge Kelley, and perhaps other
members of the committee, are in favor
of the Secretary drawing on his immense
coin reserve to meet any deficiency
which may arise. They think this much
better than issuing more bonds or in
creasing the taxes."
The New York Herald observes:
“Perhaps the most characteristic cir
cumstance—the psychologic moment of
the Chinese agitation—was in the ex
perience of Friday, whan, in the United
States Senate, the argument for the ex
clusion of Asiatics was carried on with
an African in the chair. But, with the
bill through both Houses, what is to
stop the Chinese immigration if the
heathens are landed at some convenient
port in Northern Mexico and sent over
land into California?”
The Herald omits to mention the fact
that Senator Bruce voted against the bill
A law just enacted by the New Jersey
Legislature directs the Justices of the
Supreme Court of the State, whenever
they are asked to do so by twenty-five
freeholders, to appoint an investigating
commission with full power to examine
into the management of public affairs.
This will enable the tax payers of that
State to look into the management of the
affairs of cities, towns and counties in a
manner which, if taken advantage of,
will make future extravagance and pecu
lation there in public offices somewhat
difficult.
Mr. Tilden's Present Status as a
Presidential Candidate.
The result of the cipher telegram in
vestigation and the testimony of Hon.
Samuel J. Tilden before the Potter Com
mittee in connection with the same has
very naturally caused the subject of the
real positron in which he stands as the
probable nominee of the Democratic
party for the next Presidency to be ex
tensively discussed. Our Washington
correspondent, in his letter published
yesterday, slates that this is a matter of
universal comment among the leading
Democrats at the national capital, and he
gives the different views expressed by
them as to whether Mr. Tilden should or
should Dot be the Democratic standard-
bearer in 1880.
We believe that the general ideas in
the South regarding Mr. Tilden are about
as follows: The main objection to his
candidacy in this section is, that in 1876
the South warmly and earnestly sup
ported him, giving to him all of her one
hundred and thirty-eight electoral votes.
When, however, it was evident that a
formidable Radical conspiracy existed to
seize upon the electoral votes of three of
the Southern States—South Carolina,
Florida and Louisiana—for Hayes, and
by thus securing his election by one
vote, turn the country and the South
over yet longer to the tender
mercies of Radicalism from which
she had suffered so much.
Mr. Tilden took no decided step to pre
vent the office which the American peo
ple had given him from being filched
from him. It was, and is, the general
impression that he feared, if he attempted
to do so, anarchy and perhaps war
might result, and therefore, sooner than
risk this, he refrained from asserting his
rights, and allowed Radicalism to retain
its baneful control over the country.
These are, we say, the general im
pressions against Mr. Tilden in this
section. These opinions may be attribu
ted in some measure to disappointment
at bis failure; they may not be justified
by the facts, and they may be hereafter
altogether removed.
On the other hand, there are two things
which will work powerfully in his favor.
The first of these is that he has since the
consummation of the Radical electoral
conspiracy above mentioned been the
prominent figure at which the Radicals
have directed their blows, and has been
made the one object through which they
have attempted to bring odium upon the
Democratic party. Convicted, beyond
all hope, of having engaged, in per
petrating, by fraud and bribery, a most
flagrant outrage on tbe American people,
as a last resort, the Radicals have en
deavored to conceal or palliate their own
crime by attempting to sbow that the Dem
ocrats were as base as themselves. To do
this they endeavored to make the people
believe that Mr. Tilden, as the Demo
cratic Presidential candidate, had like
wise resorted to bribery and corruption
to secure the Radical returning boards of
the Southern States mentioned, with this
marked difference, however, that while
they successfully offered bribes of place
and position to those boards to perjure
themselves, he unsuccessfully offered
them money only to speak the truth,
Mr. Tilden’s testimony before the Potter
Committee entirely disproves these
charges, and he is still further exonerated
by the now indisputably established fact
that the Radical returning boards were
for sale, and that while he had the money
to buy them up he did not do so. Had
he consented to such an act he would,
no doubt, have been in the White House
to-day.
The second point in his favor is that tbe
great principle as to whether or not the
American people are willing to condone
fraud, would be vindicated through him.
No mere powerful or fata! rebuke could
be administered to the Radical party
than Mr. Tilden’s renomination
and re election in 1880. It would
at once declare the devotion of the
people to the Constitution of the
United States, their own rights as
freemen, and their determination not to
countenance treasonable conspiracies
against their prerogative ot choosing
their own rulers. It would be such a
rebuke that probably no party, however
reckless of principle, dariDg or unscru
pulous it might he, would ever again dare
attempt to trample upon the will of
American people as expressed at the
ballot box.
As far, then, as the Southern States
are concerned, it is safe to say that Mr.
Tilden is not, by any means, the most
popular candidate for the Presidency
who could be presented in 1880; since
he is, to a great degree, regarded here as
having timidly abandoned us to the Radi
cals in 1876 If this idea is hereafter re
moved by a better knowledge of the facts
as they existed, the sense of justice to him
as one cheated of his office by fraud,
briber}’, and a traitorous conspiracy,
and then as one who had been basely
maligned and villified by his political
enemies as the impersonation of Democ
racy, must tell in his favor. And if the
National Democracy, in convention as
sembled, believe that these latter reasons
for his nomination outweigh all others,
then the South will accord him once
more an undivided support.
at
The Anti-Chinese Immigration Bill
The bill to restrict Chinese immigra
tion which passed the Senate on Satur
day, it is thought, will pas3 the House as
it came from the Senate and go to Mr.
Hayes for his signature. The bill pro
hibits any vessel, whether of native
foreign ownership, to take on board
any port more than fifteen Chinese pas
scDgers, male or female, with intent
bring such passengers to the United
States, or to bring any number of such
passengers exceeding fifteen within the
jurisdiction of the United States, the
penalty being one hundred dollars fine
for each passenger in excess, with im
prisonment also, not to exceed
months, at the discretion of the court
The master of each vessel entering is re
quired to enter lists of Chinese passeq
gers on his manifest, under penalty of
fine for neglect, and all these penalties
are to be liens on the vessels, which
may be libeled for them. Consuls and
consular agents of the United States
at foreign ports are forbidden
to give the certificates provided
in section 2162 of the Revised Statutes
(a certificate required under the treaty
with China, to the effect that the passen
gers have embarked voluntarily and have
not been shipped for immoral purposes)
to any vessels having on board more than
fifteen Chinese passengers. Officials and
Ambassadors of the Chinese Government
and persons rescued from shipwreck are
exempted from the operations of the
measure, and the bill, which goes into
effect July 1, 1879, requires the Presi
dent immediately to notify the govern
ment of China of the abrogation of arti
eles 5 and 6 of the Burlingame treaty
which reciprocally permit free emigra
tion, and extend to citizens of the United
States in China and citizens of China in
the United States “the same privileges
immunities or exemptions in respect to
travel or residence as may there be en
joyed by the citizens or subjects of the
most favored nation.”
As will he seen the bill virtually abro
gates the treaty without notice to the
Chinese Government. To this extent it
is a startling advance in legislation
which among treaty making govern
rnents will not be regarded as either con
sistent with the principles of interna
tional comity nor creditable to tbe Amcri
can Republic. As a measure of expe
diency it is of doubtful efficacy. Even
if the bill becomes a law and encoun
ters no constitutional obstacles in the
way of its enforcement, it remains to be
seen whether some means will not he
discovered to evade its restrictions,
is very doubtful whether the courts will
sustain as constitutional a law which
discriminates against emigration from
a friendly nation, and it is equally
doubtful whether the dosing of our
own ports, and prohibiting the trans
portation of Chinaman in our ow
vessels, will effectually repress the tide
of immigration setting to these shores
from the over populated Chinese Empire.
There are other Pacific ports besides
those of California, through which
Chinese immigrants can reach this
continent, and, in the absence
of a military cordon to prevent
diffuse themselves over the country,
the law of necessity impels Chinese im
migration to this continent, it will be
idle to attempt to prevent it by legisla
tion, which would be much more wisely
employed in adopting measures to regu
late and control it in a manner most con
sistent with principles of right and jus
tice, least detrimental to our politi
cal and social organism, and most advan
tageous to the ^material interests of the
country.
The hill passed the Senate by a vote
of thirty-nine to twenty-seven, parties
being nearly equally divided on the
question. Among the ayes we find the
names of the Democratic Senators Bay
ard, Beck, Gordon and Lamar. Amon,
the nays are Butler, Hill and Jones of
Florida. Senator Edmunds, in opposi
tion to the bill, said that he wished to
express his utter abhorrence of tire prin
ciple it was founded upon, “which is
that, without negotiation, without no
tice, without any step that the fair and
honest comity which should ex
ist among nations would re
quire to be taken, we take
step of this kind, to abrogate by legisla
tion a provision of a treaty with a friend
ly power. So saying, Mr. President,
have said all I wish to say, except to add
that I hope the Constitution of the
United States has yet provided some
means by which this measure, that is so
odious to me, will fail to become a law.”
This would indicate that the Senator has
hopes of a veto.
Two disbelievers in tbe doctrine of
eternal punishment applied for admis
sion to the Congregational Church in
Henniker, N. H. They were exemplary
persons and desirable as members. The
church voted almost unanimously to ad
mit them, and to omit on the occasion
of their reception the word “everlast
ing” in reading the confession of faith.
The pastor warmly defends the course
taken, but is censured by many leadin
New England Congregationalists.
It is now certain that tbe Forty-fifth
Congress will expire March 4th without
having perfected any regulations for
Presidential elections. The omission
will, however, be entirely justifiable.
Existing laws, honestly administered,
are as amply sufficient to carry into
effect the will of the people in 1880 as
they were up to 1876. And even if in
sufficient, the Forty-sixth Congress wifi
be fully competent to deal with the
matter.
It is said that Representative Alexan
der H. Stephens of Georgia has re
linquished the Supreme Grand Command
of the Grand Consistory of the Sons of
Malta in America, and that General P.
G. T. Beauregard of New Orleans has
been chosen to succeed him.
The Jurors’ Test Oath.
The Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun says : “Certain
results of the jurors’ test oath
have been made known here which
are absolutely appalling, and it is
no wonder that, as is now said, the Re
publicans are not generally disposed to
make any opposition to its repeal. The
effect of the imposition of this oath,
superadded to tbe ‘packing’ of juries
indulged in by the United States Mar
shals, has been such that in many in
stances the juries have been constituted
entirely of blacks, and there have
been several occasions where most
reputable persons were convicted of
alleged heinous crimes by black juries
not a member of which could read.
The action of the Senate Democratic
caucus in determining to stand up only
for the repeal of tbe jurors’ test oath at
this session has had very considerable
effect among the House Democrats.
Some of them, however, say yet that
they will insist upon including the repeal
of the election laws, and throw the re
sponsibility of deserting the party upon
the Senate Democrats. It is not likely
that these will find themselves in the ma
jority, but if they should the House will
simply have to back down, and that is
all there is about it. Mr. Atkins, the
Chairman of the House Appropriations
Committee, expresses the opinion that it
is useless for the House to make any
point about it.”
As rapidly as possible, Hayes is pen
sioning off Republican Congressmen, who
have been rejected by their constituen
cies, with offices. Burchard, of Illinois,
is the latest specimen. He gets the mint
superintendency, made vacant by the
death of Dr. Linderman. The appoint
ment is not at all in the interest of civil
service reform, inasmuch as the occupant
of the office should possess a quantity
and a quality of knowledge of which Mr.
Burchard is nearly*or quite destitute.
A Dead (Question.
Mr. Ewing of Ohio is not satisfied with
the monetary situation yet, and has pre
pared a bill to modify it. His bill in
creases the lawful limit of greenbaoks to
be kept in circulation from $300,000,000
to $400,000,000, and requires the Secre
tary of the Treasury to issue that amount
and keep it in circulation. It is said
that there is a majority in the House in
favor of this measure. But for all this,
the St. Louis Republican thinks there is no
chance of its becoming a law. In the
first place, says that paper, the Senate
would not pass it; in the sec
ond place, even if the Senate
should pass it, Mr. Hayes would veto
it, and the requisite two - thirds
majority could not be secured to
carry it over the veto; and in the third
place, the public mind is ceasing to take
interest in a subject that is regarded as
settled. Mr. EwiDg ought to have
brought his bill forward a year ago,
when the people were intently thinking
of the money question, and when there
was a strong feeling in the West and
South in favor of a more liberal green
back circulation. The peaceful resump
tion of specie payment on the 1st of
January has had the effect of composing
the protracted and wearying agitation of
the money question, and though it can
not be denied that the country’s advance
to resumption was marked by suffering
and misfortune, still it is over now, and
the public attention is turning away to
other things.
Mr. Thomas Lord, the deceased mil
lionaire, profiting by the experience of
other rich men, wisely avoided making a
will. Before his death he executed a
deed of trust under which his property
will be distributed, and in which the in
terested parties were all made to join.
The arrangement is one which other men
of large fortunes will probably imitate,
and seems to be the only method by
which a wealthy man can hope to escape
post mortem litigation and family
scandal.

THE CHASTER OF THE FREEDMAN’S SAVINGS
AND TRUST COMPANY.
Washington, February 18.—Mr. Bayard,

ment of three commissioners, and enacts
that the Secretary of the Treasury Is author
ized to appoint the Comptroller of the
Treasury a commissioner, who shall execute

compromise the debts due to
and the liabilities of the company; to sell
any of the property of the said company at
public or private sale, as in his judgment he
may deem best, and to buy in for the benefit
of tue company any property offered for sale
to pay the debts and liabilities to the com
pany. He is to receive one hundred dollars
per annum, in addition to his present salary,
and is directed to employ a competent at
torney to investigate the manner in which
the company has been managed by the trus
tees and others having control,’and if in
the judgment of said attorney the affairs of
the company have been mismanaged, he
shall cause civil and criminal proceedings
to be instituted against those participating.
If from any cause there shall be a delay in
making a dividend to the depositors, then
under the direction of the Secretary of the
Treasury, he is to invest the funds on hand

EAD3 AND HIS ASSOCIATES TO BE REWARDED.
Washington, February 18.—The Senate
Committee on Traus-portation Routes to the
Seaboard made a favorable report to-dey on
the application of Eads and his associates
for relief. The committee say the works at
the Southwest Pass of the Mississippi river
are declared by an army board to b<; of a
substantial and permanent character., free
from danger by the action of the watt *rs, or
destruction by the taredo insect. Th e jet-
tied channel is regarded as a great
improvement, and at no time is this more
evident than at the present. Tb e com.’ mittee
propose a substitute for the pendinc; bill.
The former authorizes the Sec retary
of
of
War to draw his warrant on the Sec retary
the Treasury for sev en hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, to‘ oe paid Eads at d his
associates; when a channel 6hall be obtained
by the action of the jetties and auxiliary
works twenty-', ve f eet deep and not less
than two hr^dred feet in width at the
botton, ftv e hundred thousand dollars
h <e paid; when twenty-six feet
obtained, five hundred thousand
dollar*' f an d a like amount when thirty feet
obtained, and the million of dollars
),r jvided In the act heretofore p assed is to
paid by the United States in ten or
twenty years after the rendition of the ser
vice required. One hundred thousand dol
lars per annum are to be paid for twenty
years, provided Eads and his associates
open the mouth of the channel throu eh the
jetties twenty-six feet in depth, and not
less than two hundred feet in width at the
bottom, and having through it a depth of
thirty six-feet, without regard to the width.
WASHINGTON NOTES.
A brave fellow really did on the Mis
sissippi on Friday last what Col. John
Hay and others have celebrated of an
other hero in ringing verse. The steamer
A. C. Donnelly took fire in the afternoon
a few miles below Cairo. She burned to
Ihe water’s edge, but not a life was lost,
and it is gratifying to hear that this was
due to the courage and devotion of the
steamboat pilot, William Underwood.
This officer—who deserves a testimonial
if ever a man did—stood by his wheel
after the pilot-house was actually in
fiames, and never left his post until the
vessel was fairly run on shore and every
one of the passengers and crew was
saved. Such heroism as this, says the
New York Pott, makes the blood thrill
with pleasure and admiration. It is a
great comfort to have proofs now and
then, like that which has been furnished
by William Underwood, that human na
ture is not so b ft( i after all.
Mr Frye’s good words in Congress the
other da v about the growth of kindly
feelings an. ** tlie wiping out of sectional
animosity be/ wccn tIie North and South
would, says the Louis Republican, be
most decidedly .^assuring if he would
only stamp the Si ^cerity Lis speech
by his action. The simple fact is that
he and the other leaden.'' his party are
quite willing to bury sec ’tionffiism when
it comes to a matter of ino 1 ividua-ls, and
yet never neglect an opportunity to drag
out the bloody shirt and flaunt S OT Y
relic in the face of the DeL , ' l0Crat i c
party. Their position is simply th the
Southern people are respectable an( *
honorable as individuals, but as opp'O -
nents of the Republican party they are
the most desperate of desperadoes and
fit subjects of deadly enmity.
Two NewYork medical schools turn out
232 young doctors this month. Moralizing
on this fact the Sun says: “The smart
critics will speak of these graduates as
being turned loose upon the community,
but really it is no joking matter, either
for the community or for the young saw
bones. Tne trade is overcrowded, and
it is easier, as these graduates will find,
to say that there is always plenty of room
at the top than to get there. How the
mass of young lawyers and doctors man
age to live through the first years while
they are waiting for their clients and pa
tients, who sometimes never come after
all, is a mystery. Happy wrould it have
been for many of these 232 graduates if
they had stuck to the farm, or learned
to be-honest editors; happy also for the
community. No class ever yet gradu
ated from a professional school, whether
of medicine, law or divinity, that did not
contain young men who had mistaken
their vocation. and a mistake on that
point is a serious matter.’'
An elevator at the American Hotel, in
Richmond, Virginia, containing eleven
persons, including a number of work
men who had been repairing the roof,
broke loose Saturday evening soon after
leaving the upper story, and came down
rapidly, breaking its way through to the
basement. Three persons were injured,
two of whom were colored engineers of
the establishment. One of the parties
had a leg broken; the other two were not
so seriously hurt. No guests of the hotel
were in the elevator at the time.

Washington, February 18.—Represen ta-
tives of the press were further heard by t he
Senate Committee on Railroads to-day, con
cerning their relations with the Western
Union*. Argument will be continued toy-
morrow.
The President has recognized Jose Alcala.
Galiano as Consul of Spain at Charleston. ,
After the action of the fraudulent ad
ministration in the matters of the promi
nent Federal offices at New York and
Philadelphia, it is not at all surprising,
says the Bridgeport Fanner, to learn that
appointments in the gift of Secretary
Sherman are not now to be had unless
purchased with promises of active sup
port of his Presidential candidacy. Sec
retary Sherman has the Presidential “bee
his bonnet,” and the potential re
sources of the Treasury Department at
his command, and as a consequence the
Sherman movement is “booming.” He
has also the support of what is called
“ the money power,” having gained it by
such truckling measures as the change of
the four per cents from the form of a
popular to that of a privileged loan. But
one person, Grant, now leads Sherman in
the race.
that will put an end to the despotism of
Bismarck. It will strike him before the
end of the year. I tell you this on in
formation that comes from a source that
can’t be questioned.”
