The extreme French Republicans and

the Chamber of Deputies.

British negotiations with Yakoob Khan
still continue, but will not be pressed at
present since if he should decline the pro
posals made, a prompt advance on Cabul
would be unavoidable, and that would be
Impracticable just now while snow covers
the passes. If Yakoob Khan accepts the
proposals, which he may do without dis
honor, it will make him the strongest ruler
Afghanistan has had for years. It is possi
ble, however, that he may prefer to suffer a
defeat first, and thus be forced to submit to
the inevitable.

Senate that the debate on the question of

Hoi>t With His Own Petard.
If ever a man was completely caught
in his own trap, or effectually hoisted
by his own petard, that man is the
Hon. Mr. Garfield, member of the lower
House of the Forty-sixth Congress from
the Nineteenth district of Ohio. In the
very exciting debate on Saturday over the
clause in the proposed army appropria
tion bill repealing the law allowing
United States troops at the polls to assist
the Radieal party in carrying elec
tions, Mr. Garfield, following the
lead of Senator Hoar, of Massachu
setts, and other prominent Radical
members of the present Congress,
denounced the Democratic policy of re
pealing obnoxious laws through the
medium of the appropriation acts, as
revolutionary. The dispatches inform
us that, in making this charge, the gen
tleman from Ohio was particularly sen
saiional, and made his strongest point
by declaring that the Democratic mem
bers of the House hold that if they are
not permitted to force on the minority
and on the Executive the repeal of this
law they will be justified in starving the
government into submission to their will.
“That,” said he, “is the revolutionary
element in this discussion.”
It seems, however, that in his zeal to
fasten the odium of revolutionary de
signs upon the Democracy', because they
desire in this way to repeal laws passed
by overwhelming Radical Congresses to
destroy free government, and in violation
of the fundamental principles of the
United States Constitution—in order that
by such purely revolutionary measures
Radicalism might retain its power in de
fiance of popular will—Mr. Garfield’s
memory was wofully and unfortunately
deficient. The New* York World of Satur
day gives a full account of “the story of
some days in 1872,” when for the first
time in the history of the country amend
ments, of the nature now proposed by the
Democrats, were tacked on to appropria
tion bills. On that occasion the House
had passed the sundry’ civil appropria
tion bill, and the Radical Senate had so
amended the same as to provide for the
appointment of Federal supervisors of
elections. When the bill as thus amended
came back to the House, the Democratic
members cf that body refused to concur
in the amendments, and attempted to
throw obstacles in the way cf the pas
sage of the infamous measure by dilatory
motions. Yet at that time this same Mr.
Garfield insisted upon placing the politi
cal amendment in the appropriation bill,
and used these words. He said:
“He would not speak as to the merits
of the proposition before the House, ex
cept to say that no one regretted more
than he did the fact that the House had
been brought to a deadlock on this ques
tion. The question which had arisen
was far above the bill. It was whether
the majority had the right and could in
sist upon their right to ^consider a great
appropriation bill the moment that any
minority, however large, said no to that
proposition. If not, then they were in
the midst of a parliamentary revolution
out of which there was no legislation of
any sort possible forevermore until that
proposition was abandoned. He re
garded i^as most unwise and unfortunate
that the gentlemen on the other side of
the House had seen fit to say that unless
this amendment were struck out, this
great public measure, without which the
government could not go on, could not
become a law. He would never give
way in a^.y form of compromise until
that assumption was utterly abandoned.
He recognized the right of dilatory mo
tions where a minority was being op
pressed by any unparliamentary pro
ceedings, but where the proposition was
to proceed according to parliamentary
law, and where the minority said that
should not be done, then if tee minority
was to prevail there was the end of par
liamentary government. It was a simple,
plain denial of the right of the American
people to make laws, speaking through
the majority of their representatives. He
proposed for one to stay here till Decern
her next if necessary to insist that this
appropriation bill should be considered.
It should be voted up or voted down, but
vote they must, or they would abandon
or surrender the right of parliamentary
government in this country.”
It will be seen that Mr. Garfield
did not then consider it revolutionary to
attach political riders to appropriation
bills. He did not then consider it revo
lutionary to “ starve the Union to death,”
if such a procedure had been necessary
for successfully depriving the citizens of
that Union of their rights and liberties.
He did not then regard it as revolu
tionary for the majority in Congress to
insist upon enacting laws in opposition
to the will of the minority. Truly
Mr. Garfield and all his fellow
Radicals rely for success too much upon
their unblushing impudence and their
capacity for deception. It is this audaci
ty that renders them careless and causes
them not properly to guard against a re
coil of their own weapons.
The cry of “revolution” is and has
long been a favorite one with Radical
leaders of the Hoar and Garfield stripe,
since they hope to make of it a bugbear
with which to frighten the American peo
ple into restoring the government once
more into the hands of Radical centraliza-
tionists and corruptionists. They are very
desirous of making the. people believe
that the Democratic party, if it remains
in power, will be revolutionists. So it
will. They will completely revolutionize
all the obnoxious and despotic laws of
Radicalism. They will restore the Con
stitution, the purity of the government,
the dignity and freedom of American
citizenship, and will utterly frustrate
the treasonable schemes of their Radical
predecessors ftfr the destruction of the
republic. But while they admit this,
the charge of revolution against them
comes with bad grace from a party
which has been guilty of the most fla
grant revolutionary proceedings, and spe
cially does it come with bad grace from
a man who, in 1872, advocated the iden
tical plans, to accomplish really revolu
tionary designs, which he now so vehe
mently denounces.
A World's Fair to be Held in New
York in 1S83.
The New Yorkers are apparently in
dead earnest in their proposed World s
Fair. Their Executive Committee upon
the Fair have decided that as there is a
project for an international exhibition in
Berlin in 1885, it will not be desirable to
select that year for the New York Expo
sition. The general expression of opin
ion was in favor of fixing the year 1883,
opening in May of that year. The com
mittee report in favor of Central Park
for the site of the Fair. Its convenience
of accesss, being, as it were, in the heart
of the city, far outweighed every con
sideration that could be named in favor
of any other locality. Taken in connec
tion with Manhattan square, there is up
wards of one hundred and thirty acres
which can be appropriated to the
necessary buildings, and their construe
tion can be carried on and their
subsequent use realized without in the
slightest degree interfering with the pub
lic walks and drives, or depriving the
citizens of New York of a single atom of
their present enjoyment. Besides, the
building can be so constructed and loca
ted that a large part of them may remain
for permanent public use hereafter. The
main structure could be used like the
great palace of Sydenham. The picture
and art galleries would exist as noble
relics of the great Fair, and be devoted
to continuous and permanent public ex
hibition. In various ways the structures
could be made both ornamental and use
ful adjuncts to the enjoyment of the park
as a healthful and pleasant resort for the
people, and “in this way the World’s
Fair of 1883 would be looked back upon
as a continuous blessing.”
At a meeting of the Executive Com
mittee on Wednesday evening it was
recommended that steps should be taken
to inaugurate and incorporate the World’s
Fair Association, and to proceed toward
constructing the buildings for the exhi
bition, beginning the work on the 30th
of April, 18S0-*the anniversary of the
inauguration of Washington as the first
President of this great republic in New
York.
It is proposed that the corner-stone
shall be laid with imposing ceremonies
by the President of the United States,
who is to be invited, together with his
Cabinet; also the Judges of the Supreme
Court and other national dignitaries to
assist in the important event. Delegates
from the several States of the Union are
also to be invited. The Governors of
the States, and especially the Governor
of the State of New Y'ork and the Mayor
of the city of New Y'ork are to be called
upon to express their full co-operation
and sanction by their presence and par
ticipation.
Prominent officers of the army and
navy, the Mayors and leading officials of
adjacent cities, all the city government,
together with the military and State Na
tional Guard, also the various industrial
and manufacturing and civic societies,
are to be invited to join in celebrating the
great event of initiating the work which
is believed will result in the grandest ex
hibition of the world’s industries and
manufactures that has ever yet been
made.
The following resolution was adopted
by the meeting:
Resolved, That a committee of five be
appointed to prepare an act of incorpoia
tion for the proposed World's Fair in New
Y'ork, and apply to Congress at its session
in December next for its enactment, and
that the same committee have power to
confer with the representatives of the
German Empire in regard to the time
proposed for holding an industrial exhi
bition at Berlin.
There are indications that the jcood
One thing that is driving the negroes
out of Louisiana and Mississippi is the
absurd belief which has obtained a foot
hold among them that if the Democrats
elect their President in 1880 they will all
be seized by the white people and re
duced again to slavery. It is quite pos
sible that after trying one year of Kansas
•hospitality and Kansas weather they
anay change their minds. The political
scamps who have imposed upon them
deserve condign punishment
people of Gotham are becoming dis
gusted with the outcrop of their much
boasted “superior culture ” and advanc
ed civilization, The Evening Post of
Saturday says: “Considering the utter
uselessness, brainlessness and offensive
ness of the present proceedings at Gil
more’s Garden, we are not surprised that
some honest persons are impressed with
a belief that the turning point in the im
provement of the human race has been
reached, and that we have now started
back on the road toward barbarism. Y'et
such is not the case. Even the proceed
ings at Gilmore’s Garden are about to
tend toward sweetness and light, for next
week wp are to have a dog show there;
and will not that be an improvement in
every way—morally, physically and in
tellectually—in the audience and in the
animals exhibited.”
The Seating of Representative Hall.
The Republicans are, as usual, talking
of the “Democratic outrage” manifested
in the seating of Representative Hull, of
Florida, instead of Bisbee. The reason
of the preference for Hull is evident.
His credentials shotted that he teas elected.
No less a Republican authority than
George Frisbie Hoar, now Senator from
Massachusetts, declared, as signer of a
report of the Committee of Elections of
the Forty-second Congress, in a case
similar to that of Hull:
“It is enough for a prima facie case if
the certificate came from the proper offi
cer of the State and clearly shows that
the person claiming under it has been ad
judged to be duly elected by the official
or board on whom the law of the State
has imposed the duty of ascertaining and
declaring the result. ”
Representative McCreary, of Iowa,
(now Secretary of War) in urging the
adoption of Hoar’s report, said:
“There is one rule which has governed
this House in all cases of this kind, and
which has never been departed from, ex
cept in one single instance; and I believe
no gentleman on this floor will under
take to justify the departure from the
rule in that instance. That rule is this:
That whoever presents to this House
such credentials as are provided for by
the law of the State is entitled prima
facie to a seat in the House, and shall be
sworn in pending any contest which
there may be with regard to the merits
of the case.”
The Republicans, remarks the Courier-
Journal, should not forget these little
points in their own records, but they are
every day retiring from some ground
which they formerly occupied, and show
ing themselves to be time servers and
hypocrites. They should read over the
record of Republican views, to be found
in the report of the proceedings at the
impeachment trial of Andrew Johnson.

DEBATE ON THE ZULU WAR.
London, March 31.—In the House of
Commons to-night the debate on the Zulu
war was resumed. Mr. Courtney (Liberal)
declared that Sir Bartle Frere was ready
to extend the British authority by all kinds
of iniquities. Viscount Sardon (Conserva
tive) and Sir George Balfour < Liberal i de
fended Sir Bartle Frere. The latter an
nounced his intention to abstain from vot-
°g.
Ihe debate was continued on party lines
by Mr. Claude Alexander (Conservative),
Mr. Syran (Liberal), Mr. Arthur Mills (Con
servative), and Mr. O’Connor Power (Lib
eral). Mr. Yorst (Conservative), supported
Sir Charles Dilke’s resolution. He be
lieved Sir Bartle Frere would not have
been censured by the government but for
the disaster to the British arms. Sir Wm.
Harcourt (Liberal) said that Sir Bartle
Frere, in consequence of the government’s
feebleness, treated it with unprecedented
contempt. He asked whether the govern
ment’s censure on Sir Bartle Frere was bona
fide or a mere parliamentary manoeuvre.
The Marquis of Harrington (Liberal)
pointed out that Lord Chelmsford, as early
as January 9th submitted plans for an in
vasion ol Zululand. This should have
awakened the government to Sir Bartle
Frere’s aggressive tendencies. The country,
he said, wished to know who to call to
account for the discredit brought on the
British arms.
Sir Stafford Northcote, Chancellor of the
Exchequer, said the government was re
sponsible for what was happening in Africa,
lie thought Sir Bartle Frere’s service out
weighed his faults.
Colonel Mure’s addition to Sir Charles
Dilke’s motion of censure was then with
drawn. The House divided on the motion
itself, and it was rejected by a vote of 306 to
246.
PROPOSITION TO INCREASE THE MEMBERSHIP
OF THE COMMITTEES.
Washington, March 31.—The House
Committee ou Rules met to-day for the pur
pose of considering the propositions to in
crease the membership of several of the
s'audiug committees and the appointment
of certain special committees during the
present session. After discussing the ques
tion it was decided to recommend to the
House that the total membership of
ihe following committees be in
creased from eleven, as at the last
session of Congress, to fifteen, namely:
Elections, Commerce and Agriculture. It
was also agreed to recommend that the
membership of the Committees on Enrolled
Brils and Printing be fixed at seven. The
fo-incr committee during the Forty-fifth
Congress had five members and the latter
three. Also that the membershiD of the
Committee on Coinage, Weights and Meas
ures be increased from seven to eleven.
JJTbe resolution introduced in the House
to day by Mr. Cox, of New York, and refer
red to the Committee on Rules, providing
for the appointment of special committees—
to-wit: one on the census, one on reform in
the civil service, one on the laws respecting
the ascertainment and declaring the
result of the election for President
and Vice President, and one on
the yellow fever epidemic, with the same
number of members, duties, scope, priv
ileges and power as those on similar subjects
of the last Congress—was agreed to and will
be reported upon favorably to-morrow. It
is probable that at to-morrow’6 meeting of
the committee it will agree to recommend
an increase of the committees on the Ju
diciary, Ways and Means aud Appropriations
to fifteen members each.
The Republican organs might say
whether they acknowledge the decisions
of the United States Supreme Court as
valid or not. Senator Edmunds said
last winter that they amounted to noth
ing to him. The court, however, has
declared that: “The United States has
no voters in the States of its own crea
tion. The elective officers of the United
States are all elected directly or indi
rectly by State voters.” Under this rul
ing—authoritative enough, certainly—it
is difficult to find a reason for Federal
control of certain elections, and more
difficult to find any basis for the method
of such control, which has been incor
porated in the statutes of the United
States by the Republicans — Louisville
Courier-Journal.
With her Gatling gun and very liberal
armament in other respects, the United
States steamer Alaska, now hurrying to
Behring’s Strait, ought to be able to pro
tect the few whites on our possessions
there from the thousand or so of Indi
ans who are supposed to be hunting for
their scalps. It is singular that wherever
two or three American traders are gath-
ertid together among the aborigines the
presence of soldiers in their midst is
necessary to preserve their hair.
The Democratic Congress does not
propose to shield any one from punish
ment for any of the crimes denounced in
the statute book. That is not the issue.
What Congress proposes to do is to take
away from executive officers like deputy
marshals the power to try, decide and
arrest in a room or on the sidewalk duu
ing the actual progress of voting or can
vassing. Evidence may be collected ard
preserved against the accused, to be (H
the next day presented to a magistrate,
but no arbitrary arrest on election day •,
excepting for breach of the peace, mur
der, or robbery, or larceny. A11 chal
lenged votes, if “sworn in” and presuma
bly legal, must go into the box, to be
dealt with afteFwanJs as the law of the
State commands.
The correspondent of the London
Telegraph, writing from Berlin, says:
“According to the present form of the
German Government’s bill raw cotton
wiU be exempt from duty. The whole
tariff is considerably below what was
expected, and by no means justifies the
recent scare,”
ADVICES FROM SIAM.
New York, March 31.—A letter from
Bangkok, Siam, contains the following:
“The American Consul has at last succeeded
in inducing the King of Siam to establish a
general system of education throughout his
dominions, and the Rev. Dr. MacFarland,
formerly an American missionary, was ap
pointed as Superintendent of Public Instruc
tion, at a salary of five thousand
dollars per annum. There is a stroDg
probability that an embassy will be
dispatched from Siam to the United States
for the purpose of arranging for the appoint
ment of Consuls and regulating the future
commercial relations with that country,
which it is expected will be large in the
future. Nothing defiuite has been yet offi
cially announced, but it is believed to have
been fully decided upon.”
COUNTER PROJECT TO THE MIXED OCCUPA
TION.
Constantinople, March 31.—The Grand
Vizier, Keiriddin Pasha, as a counter pro
ject to that of the mixed occu
pat ion of Eastern Roumelia proposes
that the occupation be entrusted
to the Turkish regular troops, while
the powers appoint a Governor, who shall
be under the control of an international
commission. In case his proposal is not
accepted the Grand Vizier will insist that
the Turkish regulars shall form a majority
of the occupying corps, each power to - con
tribute 25,060 meu.
TUB POWERS T© TAKE PART IN THE ROUME
LIA N OCCUPATION.
London, March 31.—The Ageuce Rusae
announces that Austria, England, Russia,
Turkey and Iraly have consented to take
part in the mixed occupation of Eastern
Roumelia. Italy, however, it is reported,
has made some reservation. There will
be no commander-in-chief of the
mixed contingent. Each nationality will
have Its own commander. The troops will
act in accordance with instructions in com
mon by the powers. The sole object of the
occupation will be to prevent any conflict
between the Turks and Bulgarians.
RECEIPTS OF THE ENGLISH REVENUE
London, March 31.—The total receipts

ets. Colonel A. J. Kellar was appointed to
present the resolutions to the members of
Congress and the Postmaster General.
PARIS notes.
Paris, March 31.—Thomas Contore, the
celebrated painter, is dead.
M. Say will to-morrow move in the Senate
that the debate on the return of the Chaim
her to Paris be adjourned until after the
Easter holidays, when, it is hoped, an agree
ment will have become possible. An ad
journment will certainly be voted for the
holidays, as a recess will commence April
7th anil end on the 6th or 15th of May.
ABOLITION OF THE FRENCH SENATE THREAT

The admission of Utah as a State will
probably be pressed upon the attention
of the present Congress, and a Mormon
lobby is already in Washington agitating
the question. The St Louis Republican I FLORIDA SUGAR
thinks that the prospect of a new Demc
cratic State and of two brand new Demo
cratic Senators will, no doubt, prove
something of an inducement to take ac
tion in the premises.

SAVAWAH WEEKLY YEWS
OF SATURDAY, APRIL 12th,
Will appear the first chapters of a new serial
story, entitled “ WHAT A WIFE CAN DO,

lett, ot Cave 8prings, Georgia. The story is
one of absorbing interest, and will ran
through some eight or ten numbers of the

in Europe—chiefly in London and Paris—and
the author, evidently familiar with the locali
ties she so vividly describes, through the
medium of a pleasing fiction imparts to her
readers the additional pleasure of a tour of
the continent.
