The American schooner Oliver Jameson,
from Bermuda for Charleston, South Caro
lina, and the British bark Lord Raglan,
from this city for Liverpool, were both
abandoned at sea, the former on the 22d of

test oath.
As the third battallion of the Sixtieth
Rifles left Colchester, England, yesterday,
for the Cape of Good Hope, the streets were
decorated with flags, evergreens and mot
toes. An address was also presented to the
troops, expressing the hope that they would
recover the colors of the Twenty-fourth
Regiment.
The cause of the exile of the Grand Duke
Nicholas of Russia, was a pamphlet from
him in favor of the speedy construction of
the Orenburg and Tasbkend Railway by way
of Kara Turgall and Sir Darya river, in or
der to force England to abandon her re
sistance to Russia’s Eas'.em policy.

follow their example in a day or two.
Conductor John H. McLean, *>f the New
York Elevated Railway, plead guilty }es-
terday to being a ringleader in a band or
ganized to rob that corporation. Being a
very respectable man, he was sent to the
State reformatory instead of the State
prison.
The French protectionists are very active.
8everal deputations waited on Lepere, the
Minister of Agriculture and Commerce,
urging surtaxes in favor of the French
flag on account of the constant lowering of
wages in England. M. Lepere said the
minds of ihe government are open to all
sides of this question, and invited a con
tinued presentation of the arguments and
evidence on the subject. A similar deputa
tion received a similar answer from Presi
dent Grevy a few days ago.
Dr. Butt intends to offer a resolution in
the British House of Commons looking to
appropriate legislation for enabling Irish
men of all religious persuasions to enjoy the
benefit of degrees, aud all the advantages of
the universities of that country.
The Senatorial committee appointed to

section from the sundry civil bill of the last
session unite in saying that it was an error
of the exhausted and overworked eugross-
ing clerks in the last hours of the session.
Senator Conover is exhonerated from any
connection with the omission.
The Commander of the British ship Os
prey having been requested to take his ves
sel to Sitka to protect the citizens against
the Indians, wrote stating that if the Ameri
can Consul would make the request he
would comply. The latter declined to take
the responsibility, but at noon yesterday the
vessel left Vancouver’s Island for Sitka.
Secretary Sherman has also directed the
steamer Oliver Wolcott to likewise proceed
to that place as soon as practicable to pre
serve the peace.
An exciting debate ensued in the House
yesterday on the amendment to the legis
lative, executive and judicial appropriation
bill providing ror a repeal of the law to ap
point Federal supervisors of elections in the
different States. The debate will be con
tinued and the result will probably be that
the amendment will pass the House, be de
feated in the Senate, and finally be com
promised.
The North Carolina Senate has reduced
the salaries of its State officials.
Reports having been recently published
of the existence of yellow fever in New’ Or

true.
In the Virginia House of Delegates yester
day, a resolution was adopted declaring that
the State of Virginia was not liable for cer
tificates issued under the acts of 1871 and
1872, for a one-third of the public debt ap
portioned to the State of West Virginia,
except as expressed on their face to provide
for the payment of such proportion of the
amount thereof as may be derived from the
settlement with West Virginia in regard to
the debt as it existed at the time of the dis
memberment of the State. The discussion
of the bill providing for the settlement of the
State debt was begun in the Senate yester
day, and the House will take it up to-day
as special orders. The indications are
that it will pass in the Senate without much
opposition, but in the House the fight will
be obstinate.
Murat Halstead, of the CinciAati Com
mercial, was before the House Committee
on Railway Telegraphs yesterday,and seated
that the Western press had a press associa
tion of their own, yet they had been treated
with perfect fairness by the Western Union
Company. He also said that the new spaper
business was a private one, and Congress
had no right to meddle with it. The press
had built up a system of obtaining news,
employing agents everywhere, and they
were entitled to 6uch news as their own
property.
El Capitan and the Alameda, two ferry
boats plying between San Francisco and
Oakland Point, collided in a dense fog yes
terday and the former sank rapidly to her
hurricane deck. Many of her passengers
jumped on the Alameda and others threw
themselves into the water. It is believed
that all were saved.
The dissolution of the nunneries at Ahr-
weiler and Nonnenwerth, Germany, by the
Emperor William has been postponed at, it
is alleged, the request of the Catholic ladies
of the Rhine provinces.
Beast Butler's Bid.—A New York
letter says: “Gen. Butler’s prophecy in
the House yesterday that ‘ the time
would come when the government would
pay Confederate soldiers’ pensions, the
same as were now paid to Union soldiers,
for disabilities in the late war,’ is inter
preted by New York politicians as a bid
for Southern support in the ‘ third party’
arrangement he is concocting for use in
the approaching Presidential campaign.
The venerable Thurlow Weed, speak
ing for the Republicans, says * it is tco
thin, though perfectly characteristic of
the manwhile Augustus Schell, speak
ing for the Democracy, thinks ‘ if there
is any Southern man that can be convert
ed to Butierism by such a sop as that,
there is no reason why the Essex states
man should not be elected, right away,
Mayor of New Orleans.’”
A Missing Witness.—The Potter
Committee a short time since issued a
subpoena for Hardy Solomon, of the
South Carolina Trust Company, but it
has been returned with the indorsement
non eat. Solomon was prominently
mixed up with the various investiga
tions, State and Federal, which have
been made into South Carolina affairs.
He is supposed to know a good deal
about the improper expenditure of
money by Republican emissaries pending
the action of the South Carolina return
ing board.
The Ceusns of 1880.
The subject of taking the census for
1880 is now absorbing a good deal of the
attention of Congress, and the House is
at this moment considering the bill to
provide for the same. The only difficul
ty in the way to the immediate passage
of the measure is in the appointment of
supervisors. The Radical members de
sire that such appointments shall be
made by the Secretary of the Interior,
while the Deniocrats generally favor the
appointments being made by the Gover
nors of the different States.
It is to be hoped that the latter posi
tion will be taken and insisted on for the
following good and sufficient reasons.
Iu the first place the appointment of
such supervisors by the Governors of the
States, instead of by a department of the
Federal Government, is more in ac
cordance with State sovereignty and
Democratic ideas. \Ve have had so math
of “nationalism” and centralization in
the land of late, that it is absolutely
necessary that hereafter, even in the
smallest matters, the doctrine of State
sovereignty should be maintained and
kept prominent before the country. The
people of the United States have, for
years past, been very dangerously edu
cated in regard to the nationality of this
republic, and now, for the public good,
they should, by every means possible, be
taught that the States of the Union are
supreme sovereign commonwealths, and
that the Federal Union is but the creature
of the States. In that doctrine lies the
very essence of our form of government.
In the nest place this coming census is
regarded as, in many respects, the most
important which has ever yet been taken.
Mot only will it show the rapid growth
of our population in the last decade, hut
it will materially change the representa
tion of many of the States in Congress.
It is this latter fact which is particularly
attracting the attention of the Radical
leaders of the North. They hope, as a
result thereof, that the Northern and
Western sections will gain largely in the
House of Representatives, while the
South will remain in statu quo, and
thus the bugbear of a solid South
will be effectually disposed of. They
hope that, let the South be
ever so solid, her influence will he
destroyed by an overwhelming majority
against her. In a word, the Radicals are
looking to the next census as a promi
nent means (provided they can success
fully stir up and keep alive sectional dis
cord) for maintaining themselves in pow
er. It is therefore manifest how great
will he the temptation for appointees of
a Radical Cabinet officer to exaggerate,
as far as possible, the population of the
Xorth and West, and to cut down to the
lowest possible figure the population of
the South.
For these reasons we hope to see the
census bill so framed that the appoint
ments of supervisors will be made by
the Governors of the States. Such a
measure would be more Democratic,
more in accord with the genius of our
republican institutions, and more likely
to mete out exact justice to all sections
of the Union.
The Chinese Bill.
The Washington Star says the mem
bers of the Chinese delegation are sur
prised that they looked upon the passage
of the anti-Chinese bill by the House as a
piece of political clap trap, and consid
ered it impossible that it could, be coun
tenanced by the treaty-ratifying Senate.
The Chinese delegation doubtless be
gin to suspect that treaties, like consti
tutions, “ain't much account” in this
republican country, where a Presiden
tial election is always less or more re
motely pending, and that “for ways that
are dark and tricks that are vain” the
average American politician “is pecu
liar.” The Hartford limes is convinced
of this fact, and in its comments
od the passage of the anti-Chinese
immigration bill says: “3Ir Blaine’s
weak delusion that he can be the next
President led him to toady to the
voting power of the disreputable
‘hoodlums’ of California, and de
clare himself in favor of this anti-
Republican proscription of a particular
race of immigrants to our shores.
The gentlemanly and scholarly members
of the Chinese political and educational
missions to our country will understand
the motive of such conduct, and also
that the betier sentiment of the commu
nity, in nearly all parts of the land, fc
against such inconsistent and discredita
ble legislation as this hill aims at.”
A Northerner on the South.
In another column wc publish the let
ter of Col. Julian Allen, a Northern gen
tleman, now a resident of Xorth Caro
lina, in reply to a letter from several
prominent citizens of New York request
ing him to give his views of the condition
of affairs in the South and the tone of
public sentiment iu this section towards
Northern men. Colonel Allen’s frank
and manly statement of the truth
wili, we doubt not, go far towards disa"
busing the Northern mind in regard to
the true sentiments of our people, and
removing the prejudice and had feeling
at the North which of late years has been
so sedulously cultivated by the Radical
press and lying Radical emissaries for
the basest partisan purposes. What
Colonel Allen says of North Carolina
is not only true in that State, but may
with equal propriety and truth be said of
Georgia and every other Southern State
in which carpet-bag misrule, usurpation
and corruption have been overthrown,
and the true people restored to the con
trol of their own affairs. The true men
of both sections who desire the restora
tion of mutual confidence and friendly re
spect, so essential to the peace and pros
perity of our common country, are in
debted to Col. Allen for his truthful and
impartial statement.
Radical Corruption and Luxury in
Washington.
In these hard and trying times, says
the New York Sun, it is a good thing to
be a Senator, even if a high price has to
be paid for the seat. Fortune seems to
smile benignantiy on patriots of that
order. John Sherman is an example
much cited and well known. He served
eighteen or more years in Congress,
which he entered poor, received a salary
of $8,000 first and then $o,000 a year,
and came out of it rich enough to be
ranked as a millionaire. Of course, he
did all this by economy of his pay, and
not by any side arrangements with Jay
Cooke A Co., who put out the loans that
Honest John legislated into proper shape
for their convenience.
Suggestions have been made that the
States should provide residences for their
Senators at Washington, to enable them
to support their official dignity becom
ingly, and to stand out more distinctly as
a preferred class. Gen. Grant thought
Congress ought to build fine houses
for members of the Cabinet, so they
might entertain handsomely, and to
convert the present White House
into an office, with a more
suitable abode for the President. The
old fashioned ideas of simplicity and
modest modes of life were entirely ex
ploded under the shoddy rule gf Grant-
ism, when the whisky, the Washington,
the navy, the military, the land, the
patent, the railroad, and other rings
flashed their diamonds in the noon sun
light, splurged in livery, poured out
champagne like water, and stole hun
dreds of millions magnificently.
Many of the Senators have housed
themselves comfortably, and several
grandly. The signs of prosperity must
be pleasing to their constituencies, as
demonstrating the possibilities of re
trenchment. The court journals keep
us informed of the improvements at
the capital. Senator Windom has
recently established himself in a state
ly residence at the West End, with
all the modem equipments of luxury.
He was long Chairman of the Committee
on Indian Affairs, and more recently he
has been at the head of the appropria
tions. His disinterested services in both
these capacities appear to have won him
golden opinions from all sorts of people.
The financial editor of the Philadel
phia Xorth American, which, though a
Radical of the “stalwart” persuasion, is
one of the leading commercial journals
of the United States, reports that the
signs of improvement in the business
situation continue to multiply, and the
effects of a general revival of confidence,
brought about to some extent by the
success which has attended the effort
to resume specie payments, are
being felt in every section of the
country. The early movements of
the spring trade are considered extreme
ly favorable by those whose opinions are
worth anything in that connection, and
purchasers have been already hard at
work laying out plans for the future. The
general revival of busines ill give ad
ditional employment to luc idle laborers
of the country. The increasing foreign
demand for our manufactures is already
being felt in increased activity among
industrial establishments, and adds to the
demand for skilled and unskilled labor.
This is certainly a cheerful condition of
affairs to contemplate, and will contrib
ute much to a further restoration of that
confidence so terribly shattered by the
dull and spiritless work of the last five
years.
National Quarantine Legislation.
—Four members of the House Commit
tee on Epidemic Diseases have agreed to
report a bill to establish a National Board
of Health to he composed of seven mem
bers and the Surgeon General of the
Army and the Surgeon General of the
Navy, the board to select its own Presi
dent, who is to be the executive officer.
This will make in fact an additional bu
reau in the Treasury Department. The
National Academy of Sciences is to co
operate with the Board of Health in per
fecting an organization which is to take
charge of quarantine and public health
matters now by law devolving upon the
Surgeon General of the Marine Hospital
Service, who is not to have any part in
the matter, although the proposed bill,
like all others heretofore presented, pro
vides that the medical officers of the Ma
rine Hospital Service shall assist in car
rying out the regulations to be estab
lished under the law. This scheme is the
one devised by the army.
that they are now the only two bodies
politic in the country, exclusively of the
United States, which can float four per
cent, loans at par. The rascally public
officials of Georgia, to conceal their
nefarious schemes and the exhausted
condition of the Treasury, have even
adopted the miserable subterfuge of
paying their obligations before they fall
due. Such are the fatal results of over
throwing the government of the carpet
bagger, by the carpet-bagger and for the
carpet-bagger, and substituting in its
place a system which has no nobler aim
than making both ends meet.—X. T.
World.
Stopping Over.—The New Orleans
Times says: “ It is said that Gen. Sher
man will be invited by the Governor to
review our troops on the 22d, and it is
probable tbat be will comply. This news
has created quite a stir in the organiza
tions, who seem to be resolved that the
great commander shall not see any less
soldierly spirit pervading our forces now
than he knew in the days when, step by
step, inch by inch, they contested his
marches and made his victories dear.”
Church Vestments Duty Free.—In
response to an inquiry whether priests
residing in this country are allowed to
import free of duty cassocks and other
articles which may be their personal pro
perty, although intended to be worn or
used by them in the performance of the
religious ceremonies of their church, the
Treasury Department decides that if the
articles are the individual property of the
priest, imported and paid for by him in
dividually, they are not entitled to free
entry. If, however, they are imported
for the church or for its use, and the
right of property or of possession of the
same is in the church, as opposed to any
such right in the priest, such articles, if
coming within the definition of "regalia,”
are entitled to free entry under the pro
visions of the free list for “regalia *
* * specially imported in good faith
for the use of liny society incorporated
or established for * * * religious
purposes.”

The Last Fenian Prisoner Set
Free.—A special dispatch from Queens
town is as follows: “Edward O’Kelly,
the last of the Fenian piisoners, was to
day discharged from Spike Island prisoD,
in this harbor, on condition that he left
the British Isles. He was this afternoon
placed on board the steamship Marathon,
which goes out instead of the Celtic
bound for New York. Sir. O’Kelly was
arrested in Dublin about 1871, charged
with shooting at and wounding a man
who was supposed to be a secret agent of
been made both in Ireland and England
to obtain his unconditional pardon, as
he was the only support of an aged
mother, hut as the sequel shows without
result.
A New Minister to Berlin.—It is
stated that the President has tendered
the position of Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Ger
man empire, made vacant by the death
of Bayard Taylor, to the Rev. Joseph
Parrish Thompson, D. D., an eminent
Congregationalist divine, archaiologist
and orientalist, who has already been re
siding in Berlin since 1873. Dr. Thomp
son was bom in Philadelphia in 1819,
the son of a merchant of that city.
Minister Kasson on the Plague.—
Minister Kasson, writing from Vienna,
says that the Russian plague excites great
alarm in Germany, Austria and Hun
gary, that nearly all the patients have
died, and that six army surgeons and
nearly all who come in contact with the
dead have died, although disinfectants
were freely used. The mortality among
the sick in some places was equal to one
hundred per cent.
Special 2 elegram to the Morning New*.
Washington, February 19.—The House
this afternoon witnessed the bitterest and
most exciting fight of the session,
staited with the amendments proposed by
the Democrats to the legislative bill repeal
ing the jurors’ lest oath law. After some
pretty hard words on both sides, the Re
publicans allowed the amendment to pre
vail.
The next amendment, one to repeal the
sections of the statutes providing for super
visors of elections, drew out the fight in full.
Blackburn led the Democrats pretty solidly
in favor of the amendment, and Garfield and
Hale led the Republicans against it.
The Republicans announced that they
would use all kinds of fill
bustering to defeat the proposition
and Blackburn said the Democrats had
come with their camps and rations to stay
it out until the amendment should be car
ried.
Of course if both sides hold out the bill
will fail, and an extra session of Congress
will be necessitated. Such will hardly be the
result, however. The Republicans of the Sen
ate would not adopt the amendment. Its
most probable fate will be that after several
days’ fight, the amendment will go through
the House. The Senate will refuse to pass
the legislative bill with the amendment to
it, and a conference between the committees
of the two houses will be ordered. Iu this
committee there will be very likely a com
promise and the bill will pass, and thus the
necessity for an extra session will be avoided.
THE FLORIDA STATE FAIR.
A Fine Exhibition on All Side?,
To-Day’s Programme.

Gainesville, Fla, February 19.—The at
tendance to-day on the fair was much larger
than yesterday. All last night and to-day
were occupied in getting iu order the ex
hibits, which came in greater quantities than
was expected. The weather to-day was
pleasant.
One of the best county displays thus far
is that of Leon. Jacksonville has some good
exhibits, which attract much attention.
The Governor’s Guards of Tallahassee, the
Fernandina Light Infantry, aud detach
ments of the Thomasville Guards and Jeffer
son Rifles arrived to-day. To-morrow the

Special Telegram to the Mominq News.
Hawkinsville, Ga., February 19.—Quite
an additional number of del egates arrived
this morning. The staff of life was dis
cussed very earnestly by Rev. Mr. Nunnally.
It provoked some r liarp discussion. It was
an able essay nevertheless.
Col. Graves, lately a resident of Egypt,
read a very interesting essay on Egyptian
agriculture, and presented to the society
specimens of the soil, and of the water aud
sediment from the river Nile.
Gov. Colquitt addressed the convention at
length on various interests pertaining to the
prosperity of the State. He left this after
noon.
The effort to reduce the number of dele
gates in the convention was indefinitely
postponed. The proposition to have only
annual sessions instead of semi-annual was
discussed fully and almost unanimously in
definitely poatpoDed.
There was an effort made to get a vote on
the location of the next State fair, but the
whole question wa* relegated to the Execu
tive Committee.
Later.—The question is decided, and the
next fair ol the State Agricultural Society
will be held in Macon.

Washington, February 19.—At a meeting
collision or ferry boats.
San Francisco, February 19.—About
o’clock this afternoon the ferry steamers
El Capitan and Alameda, plying between
this city and Oakland Point, collided in the
mid-passage. A dense fog prevailed and
the boats were close to each other before
they could be seen. The bo w of the El Capi
tanstruck the Alameda on the port quarter
shattering her guard aud rail but
doing her no serious damage
The port bow of the El Capitan was crushed
In, and she filled and sank rapidly. The
greatest terror and confusion prevailed
ijjome of the passengers jumped on board
the Alameda, while others sprang into the
water. In a few moments the steamers
drifted apart and lost sight of each
other in the fog. The El Capitan
sank to the hurricane deck and drifted rap
idly towards North Point in the strong ebb
tide. The Harbor Commissioners’ tug, Gov
ernor Irwin, which was iu the vicinity, pi
loted by the cries of the passengers and the
screamiDg of the whistles, steamed at once
to the rescue and picked up those struggling
in the water. It is believed that all the pas
sengers are saved.
CHANGES IN THE GENEVA AWARD BILL.
Washington, February 19.—The more im
portant changes proposed by a majority of
the Senate Commitee on the Judiciary to be
made in the Geneva award bill are as fol
lows : The House provisions for the pay
ment of war premium claims and lor the
allowance of iuteiest about the four per
cent, allowed by the former law are wholly
omitted, and so also are the extra allow
ances for whalery. The Revived Court
of Commissioners are to take the
jurisdiction of the claims of insurance
companies, and give them precedence
in the distribution of the remaining balan;
of the Geneva award. The other claims
provided for by the majority of the com
rnittee are to form a second class, to consist
of claims directly resulting from the dam
age done by any Confederate cruisers, in
eluding the so-calied exculpated cruisers,
on the high seas, and also within three
miles of the shore.
THE HOT SPRINGS OMISSION—SHIPMENT OF
DISEASED CATTLE.
Washington, February 19.—The Sena
torial committee appointed to investigate
the causes of the omission of the Hot Springs
section from the sundry civil bill of last
session, unite in reporting it was a clerical
error, made by the overworked aud ex
hausted clerks in the last hours of the
session. The committee completely ex
onerated Senator Conover from any connec
tion with the omission.
The Secretary of the Treasury and Secre-
taiyof State had a consultation to-day on
the subject of the necessary enlargement of
the powers of the Treasury Department so
as to prevent the shipment of diseased
cattle from our ports. A bill for the pur
pose indicated will be prepared and sent to
the proper committee of Congress imme
diately.
FRENCH PROTECTIONISTS ACTIVE.
London, February 19.—The Protectionists
in France are very active. Several deputa
tions of ship owners and others interviewed
M. Lepere, the Minister of Agriculture and
Commerce, yesterday, urging the surtaxes
in favor of the French flag and mauu
facturers. They pointed out that
the coustant lowering of wages
England compelled a redaction in
the wages of the French operatives. M. Le
pere said that the minds of the government
are open to all sides of this question, and
invited a continued presentation of the ar
guments and evidence on the subject. A
similar deputation a few days ago interview
ed President Grevy, and received a similar
answer, which excited so much attention as
to provoke a counter visit from the British
Ambassador.
RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN IRELAND.
London, February 19.—Dr. Butt intend;
to move in the House of Commons, shortly,
the following resolution: “Tbat in the
opiuion of the House it is essential to the
interests of Ireland that the university in
stitutions of that country should be
arranged that Irishmen of all
religious persuasions should be able to ob
tain the benefit of degrees and advantages
of a university education, without a com
promise of their religious convictions, and
that iu order to accomplish this object, leg
islation on the subject is absolutely neces
sary.”
POSTPONEMENT OF THE DISSOLUTION OF THE
CATHOLIC NUNNERIES.
Berlin, February 19.—The Cei'mania (Ul
tramontane newspaper) alleges that the pe
tition of the Catholic ladies of the Rhine
provinces to the Emperor Welhelm has re
sulted in a postponement, under certain
conditions, of the dissolution of the Catholic
nunnery schools at Ahrweieber and Nonnen
werth.
SENTENCE OF A RESPECTABLE ROBBER.
New York, February 19.—Conductor
John K. McLeon pleaded guilty in the Gen
eral Sessions to-day, as being the leader of
ring of employes of the New York Ele
vated Railway, organized to rob that corpo
ration. The plea of respectability saved
him from State prison, and he was sent to
the State's reformatory instead.
NOT THE MAN WHO COMMITTED THE DEED.
New York, February 19.—Spagnola, a
Maltese, on trial for the murder of Martin
Drake, by stabbing him with a stiletto, was
on the stand in his own defense in the

Tea Culture in the South.
Baltimore Sun.
Mr. M. Gillet Gill, of the firm of Mar
tin Gillet <fc Co., who has been traveling
through the -States of South Carolina
and Georgia for the past three weeks,
visiting localities where tea plants had
been distributed by the Department of
Agriculture at Washington, has returned
to Baltimore. Mr. Gill says no one who
has not visited the rice plantations, for
merly producing so abundantly-, can
form any idea of the great changes which
have resulted from the transition from
slave to free labor. It is seen in the
crops, in the tumble-down cabins, in the
neglected lice fields and desolation every
where. Mr. Gill said:
At Georgetown, South Carolina, I
found a gentleman of the old school,
whose hospitality was unbounded, and
whose broad, fertile lands, 2,000 acres in
extent, with over 200 cabins, store
houses and a church upon the planta
tion, which before the war was regarded
as a sinecure against all future waut, and,
even with rice at three cents, yielded a
revenue that was more than sufficient
for all the wants and luxuries of a large
household. Now, .with rice at six cents,
and free labor, it does not pay to culti
vate, and the owner practices medicine
for an income. The trouble i3 the labor
question, for it is impossible to get the
negroes to work with that steadiness and
diligence that is required for the success
ful production of rice. It was because
rice culture bad failed to be remunera
tive that this gentleman’s attention was
directed to tea culture, lie had planted
a large number of tea plants, which were
all doing well, and one of which, a two-
year-old one, I have brought on with me
to show the actual results.
■2-As an illustration of the hardihood of
the tea plant, the seeds, which are hard
and round, were used as marbles by r the
negro children, and I could see young
plants springing up all over the old play
ground. But the intelligent interest
taken in tea culture by this gentleman is
exceptional, and I regret to say that
many of these supplied with plants by
the Department of Agriculture procured
them out of curiosity', and because they
could be had for the asking, without any
idea of making a business or industry
of the Railroad Telegraph Committee to: out of it. Then again the majority are
day, Murat Halstead, of the Cincinnati too poor to spend labor on an article
Commercialbeing present, noted an allusion
by Mr. Hubbard to a letter he had written
some years ago, and said it grew out of the
warfare of the Western papers with the
New York Associated Pres6 at that time.
The Western papers then conquered
their independence, and now trans
act their business through their
own organizations, having business rela
tions, however, with the New York Asso
ciated Press. The Western Union Telegraph
Company had treated them with absolute
fairness. The main object of the New
York Associated Press was to prevent reck
less competition among its own members.
The newspaper business w r as a private one
and the government had no right to meddle
with it at all. The men connected with-the
press had the same right as any other citi
zens, no more; but they claimed that when
they had built up a system of obtaining
news, employing agents everywhere, they
had a right to the news as their property.
General Barlow, of New York, testified
before the Potter Committee to-day.
WORK TO BE DONE BY THE AUSTRIAN CABINET.
Vienna, February 19.—Premier Stremayer
yesterday declared in the Austrian Reichs-
rath that the Cabinet had no programme for
the future. The work which was required
to be done was the consideration of the
budget and passage of the bills connected
therewith. In reference to Eastern affairs,
he 6aid the government, on taking
its stand on the treaty of Berlin, would con
sider it its duty to execute fully the task
assigned it by the powers; it would seek
to avoid all constitutional complications and
further sacrifices as far as compatible with
tbe honor and security of the monarchy.
that will require three or four years to
produce any return, and my opinion is
confirmed that, unless some organized
efforts with capital are made, the enter
prise will not have that chance of success
it otherwise would.
“As for the plants growing in the
South to perfection there is no question,
for I saw them as fine as any that ever
grew in China. And it is a crop ex
posed to none of the vicissitudes of
climate or chance—unlike a seed or fruit,
the leaves always come. It may not be
generally known that the tea plant is not
indigenous either to China or Japan, and
there are no climatic reasons why it
should thrive better there thannn our
own land. No more striking evidence
of the value and practicability of tea
culture by Europeans can be offered than
the experience of the English in India,
where, under the most adverse circum
stances, they have succeeded in produc
ing teas that rival those of China in
quality, and at a cost that enables the
companies to declarge large dividends.
In fact, tea culture in India has proved
a most profitable business for the past
five years, and when famine, from the
failure of the crops of cereals, was de
vastating the land, the tea plant continued
to yield its accustomed leaf.
“ The fact of the successful growth of
tea being demonstrated, the only question
lemaining is, can the leaves be manufac
tured into tea at a cost that will give
j profitable results ? Now wc have a great
advantage over the English in India in
respect to our mechanical appliances. In
India machinery is applied to all the de
partments of tea manufacture except the
simple gathering of the leaves, and from
what I have seen of these machines I feel
quite satisfied that American ingenuity
would greatly simplify and improve
them. 1 have made arrangements with
those having tea plants to express to Ba!
timore all the young leaves they produce
this spring. Here they will be expert
mented on, and a tea of American growth,
on American principles, will be produced
which will practically demonstrate the
possibility of producing in our own land
the fragrant herb that cheers.”
An American who has had experience
in tea culture in East Bengal writes to a
friend in South .Carolina expressing the
view that the Southern States of the
United States are favorable in every
respect to the culture of the tea plant
and possess advantages over East India.
To make it profitable over the skilled
labor of China, Japan and India he sug
gests machinery which he is confident
American inventive genius will supply.
With a rolling machine he can roll off
5,000 pounds of green leaves a day,
which yields 400 pounds of good tea,
yielding in English markets 2s. 6d. per
pound, exclusive of duty. He uses also
firing and sorting machines, but there is
room for great improvement in ma
chinery. He recommends that the plants
for cultivation be set out four by four
feet, to give each plant sixteen feet
square, which would admit of using the
Howe cultivators. In Bengal the writer
used to advantage one of Major
Rees’ cultivators slightly altered. The
great difficulty to be overcome is in
plucking the leaf. Every 100 acres of
full bearing plants require 50 men, boys
and girls to gailier the crop during June,
July and August; half the number would
do for ApriC May and September. In
Bengal half a cent a pound is paid for
plucking, and the coolies average 40
pounds each a day; some reach 80 pounds
and 20 or 40 cents a day is considered
good pay for this kind of labor in tbat
part of the world. If gangs of laborers
could not be had to go from farm to
farm in America, and send the leaf to
some central factory, he thinks it will be
good to plant out gardens of 300 acres or
so with its own factory. He thinks if he
had a plantation in the South he could
manufacture and land tea in the markets
of Europe at a cost of 15 to 18 cents a
pound of such quality as to fetch in
England 2s. (id. and in the States 45 cents
to 50 cents per pound. In conclusion the
writer has no doubt that tea culture in
the South, under experienced manage
ment, would prove a valuable investment
to those engaged in it.
