TAPPING THE WIKES.
In the Senate yesterday various bills were
introduced. Mr. Hoar’s resolution con
demning as unconstitutional and revolu
tionary the Democratic programme was laid
on the table. At a quarter to one the Senate
went into executive session. In the House
efforts were made to fix the time for closing
the debate on the army appropriation bill,
but the Republicans objected. A motion
of Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, to take a
vote at 2 p. m. Saturday was voted
down. Finally, on motion of Mr. Dunnell,
of Minnesota, all general debate was ordered
to be closed at 3 p. m. Friday, leaving the
five minutes debate still open. The House
then went into committee of the whole on
the bill, and the debate was opened by Mr.
Williams, Republican, of Wisconsin, who
declared that all government must rest
ultimately on the bayonet. Several other
members participated, but there was none
of the excitement manifested which charac
terized the discussion of Tuesday.
The salient points of the official report in
the Fitz-John Porter case, published in our
telegraphic columns this morning, com
pletely vindicates him from all the charges
made against him, and of which he was
previously found guilty by court martial.
This exoneration of General Porter gives
him the right of reinstatement into the
army. It is generally understood that he
does not desire this, however, and will not
apply for it. He only wants a vindication.
The report of the board will be sent to Con
gress and a bill passed relieving General
Porter from all his present disabilities.
The cotton circular of Smith, Edwards &
Co., Liverpool, reports the visible supply of
cotton to be three hundred and fifty thou
sand bales below that of last year, and pro
bably spinners throughout the world held a
surplus of from one hundred and fifty
thousand to two hundred thousand bales,
but in any event there must be a material
reduction of consumption to make the
supply last through the autumn. It
6ays that whether there will be such
reduction at the present prices of the raw
material will depend very much on the ac
tion of the government on silver and
Eastern exchange. The silver question is
exciting great interest in Lancashire, and
public opinion Is steadily tending in the di
rection of bi-metalism, but the interests
opposed to it in London are very powerful,
and will prevenCany steps in that direction
for a long time to come.
The Blackburn weavers have decided to
6ubmit unconditionally to the proposed re
duction of wages, but declared their inten
tion to insist upon a restoration of last
year’s prices when trade revives.
The entire Democratic city ticket in
Chicago has been elected on account of the
Socialists having divided the Radical vote.
The Socialists elect several Aldermen.
The Democratic Senatorial caucus y?ster-
day determined to postpone Hoar’s resolu
tion denouncing the Democratic programme
and all political discussion until the array
appropriation bill shall have been brought
before the Senate for action. The prevail
ing sentiment was in favor of restricting the
legislative business of the session to the
passage of the appropriation bills.
The preamble and resolution offered in
the Senate yesterday by Mr. Harris for a
commercial treaty with Mexico, sets forth
that such a treaty is greatly desired by both
countries, and would be specially beneficial
to the United States, as many citizens of
this country have already invested, and
many others are desirous of investing in
Mexican enterprises.
Ro'-.«F, the champion walker of the
world, ailed for England yesterday on the
Cunard tteamer Scythian. A number of his
sporting friends were on the dock in New
York to see him off.
Royal B. Con ant was on trial in Boston
yesterday, charged with embezzling $70,000
while cashier of the Eliot National Bank.
General B. F. Butler, his attorney, moved to
quash the indictment on the ground that
the property embezzled was not specified.
Nathan P. Pratt, defaulting cashier of the
Reading Savings Bank, was brought to
Wakefield for examination, which his
counsel waived, and he was remanded to
jail in default of $50,000 bail.
Mr. David Mclver, one of the proprietors
of the Cunard line and member of Parlia
ment from Birkenhead, declares unhesi
tatingly that he does not know of any
nation whose trade prospects are so gloomy
as those of Great Britain. The depression
in the United States and elsewhere does not
begin to approach the depression there.
The standing committees of the House
are expected to be announced next week,
by Monday or Tuesday.
The Senate yesterday confirmed Andrew
D. White, of New York, as Envoy and
Minister of the United States to Germany.
8everal nominations were sent in, among
them the name of David T. Corbin, of
8outh Carolina, to be Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of Utah.
The Democrats gained a complete victory
in St. Louis Tuesday, and elected a majority
in the House of Delegates over all the anti-
charter party, composed of Socialists and
Greenbackers.
The trial of Buford, Judge Elliott’s as
sassin, in Frankfort, Kentucky, is set down
for Monday, the 28th inst. An election for
a successor to Judge Elliott has been or
dered to be held on May 12th next.
Advices from Havana report that the
urgent attention of the new Spanish Minis
try will be directed to the settlement of
estimates from Cuba, including taxes to be
levied, and all the difficult and important
questions of the new organization will be
fully considered. A semi-weekly paper,
called the Citizen, and edited by a colored
man, has been started in Havana to repre
sent the interests of the African race In
Cuba.
Goldsmith Maid has given birth to a colt,
sire George Washington, for which the
owner has refused twenty thousand dollars.
The war between Chili and Bolivia still
continues. The President of Peru has an
nounced his intention to remain neutral.
The whole Republican State ticket was
elected in Rhode Island yesterday by a larger
majority than last year.
About two hundred laborers employed on
a sea wall at the North Beach, San Francis
co, struck work yesterday, demanding an
increase of wages of fifty cents per day.
They forced one hundred men working in
another portion of the city to strike, and
say they will allow no one to work at old
rates. The police maintained order through
out the day.
The Greenbackers in Congress, it is re
ported, have decided that unless the ma
jority permit ihera to introduce their finan
cial measures, they will move that the sec
tions of the appropriation bills embodying
political legislation be stricken out.
General Garfield was very much in
earnest on Saturday in speaking against
the repeal of the law providing for
marching Federal soldiers to the polls
on election day. He was also very much
in earnest in opposing this law when it
■originally passed. This is not the first
time a man has done a good thing and
repented of it. We admire General Gar
field’s pluck. He is not afraid to swal
low himself for the benefit of his party.
—Philadelphia Record.
Mrs. Hayes has decided that is is time
to have a new set of china in the White
House. The set which has been used
on public occasions since Mrs. Lincoln s
day, has brilliant Solferino covers with
centres showing a shield, stars and stripes
and a spread eagle. The new set will
come from Limoges, France. Of court e
Uncle Sam will have to foot the bill.
The Debate in Congress Over the
Repeal of the Armj-at-the-P«Ils
Law.
No one who has carefully followed the
debate in the House of Representatives
over the proposed amendment to the
army appropriation bill can, no matter
how prejudiced he may be politically,
avoid being impressed with the ability
and force which has characterized the
discussion on the Democratic side, and
the sophistry and weakness which have
marked the efforts of the Radicals. So
far but one single speech, out
of the many delivered on the
Republican side of the House, has
elicited any attention whatever. This
was the one of Mr. Garfield on Saturday
last, and a very cursory analysis of that
speech will show pliinly that it has at
tracted attention only because of its high
sounding phrases and sensational appeals
to partisan prejudice. Deprive it of the
word “revolution,” and the charge
made against the Democrats of
being ready “to starve the Union
to death,” and nothing of it is left to
be dignified with the name of argument.
And when it is remembered that, in 1872,
this very same Mr. Garfield advocated
political legislation through the medium
of appropriation bills, and manifested
then a perfect willingness “to starve the
Union to death,” in order that he might
accomplish his purposes—he having
voted for an amendment to the sun
dry civil appropriation bill providing
for Federal overseers of American citi
zens at the polls, and having declared
that he would sit in Congress for a year
before he would vote the appropriation
bill unless the amendment was permitted
to be incorpora* ed therein—it will be
readily seen that even this great Radical
effort is nothing more than froth, empty
sound and fury signifying nothing. In
a word, Mr. Garfield simply denounces
now hs revolutionary his own identical
course in a former Congress. He is em
phatically divided against himself, and
therefore cannot stand.
On the side of the Democracy the de
bate has been conducted with vigor, dig
nity and with unanswerable logic. When
Mr. Garfield talks about “revolution”
and “starving the Union to death,” he
stultifies himself. When Mr. Belford,
of Colorado, reads a labored speech in
which he declares that “in the contest in
which Congress is now engaged, the
President might yield, but the Republi
can party never,” or- when he solemnly
and ponderously reads out to the Demo
cratic party that in 1880 it “would retire
to the rear as it had done in the past,”
he s.mply utters foolish school boy bun
combe, calculated only to bring
himself in derision. When, however,
Mr. Chalmers, of Mississippi, says
that “if the proposed legislation
is revolutionary, then the Republican
party had accomplished revolution after
revolution”—when Mr. Muldrow, of the
same State, declared that “ il the attempt
to break the chains of tyranny from the
people was a revolution, it was a revolu
tion which the people would applaud,”
and that he hoped Mr. Hayes would not
attempt to coerce Congress in its efforts
for political freedom—when Mr. Hunt,
of Ohio, (Mr. Garfield’s own State) pre
sented in a calm, dignified manner an ar
gument based on law and constitutional
principles, showing that there was no
such thing as the right of suffrage for a
citizen of the United States, that
the right of suffrage was possessed
and enjoyed under the laws of the
States, that this doctrine was expressly
recognized by the fundamental law of
the land, and that the United States
Supreme Court had recently so decided
—when sentiments such as these are
uttered, they carry with them the irre
sistible force of truth, and must win the
favor and confidence of the whole peo
ple of the United States.
It is not to be wondered at that the
Republicans are forced to struggle along
so heavily and laboriously in the position
they have assumed in this debate, while
every speech made by the Democratic
members is a fresh victory over, and a
fresh discomfiture of their opponents.
The liadicals are vainly endeavoring
to cause error to triumph over
truth, revolutionary doctrines over
principles of right and constitutional
justice, official tyranny in high places
over popular liberty and political free
dom. They are vainly striving to con
ceal their cwn iniquitous schemes for
.seizing upon the government in 1880 in
defiance of popular will, under the sen
sational cry of “revolution.” It is very
desirable that the present extra session of
Congress shall be as short as possible, so
that the expense attendant upon such
session shall be curtailed, and that the
wheels of government shall be permitted
to move on unclogged. Nevertheless,
if the debate over the repeal of the
obnoxious laws fastened upon the coun
try by Radicalism is to proceed in the
same manner in which it has been thus
far conducted, the longer it is con
tinued the more beneficial it must prove
to the Democratic party, and therefore
to the country. It must convince the
people that the Radical party relies for
victory alone upon force, violence and
outrage upon popular rights, and
that it dare not present its claim for sup
port upon its merits alone. It will con
vince the people that, deprived of power
to control elections by the army or by
the aid of Federal officials at the polls,
backed up by packed juries in the
United States Courts, Radical chances of
success are rendered hopeless.
In the Russian Empire there are alto
gether only about fifteen hundred regu
larly licensed physicians, or one physician
to each fifty thousand people, while in
the United States there is one physician
to each five hundred inhabitants. The
Russian Government is not doing any
thing to advance medical education.
There are but eight Russian medical col
leges, and the students are required to
prosecute their professional studies for
five years; and such persons only are
admitted to these colleges as have suc
cessfully undergone an examination in
some one of the literary colleges, which
have a seven years’course. Under these
circumstances, it is not surprising that
the number of medical graduates is
small.
An apt illustration of the manner in
which Hayes is regarded by members of
the Republican party is afforded by the
present condition of affairs. According
to a Washington dispatch, rumors were
flying about the city Sunday night
that Hayes had said that he
should approve appropriation bills as
passed by the Democrats. A stalwart,
fresh from a Sunday evening prayer
meeting at the White House, denied the
report. The truth is, the Radicals are
shaking in their boots for fear that Hayes
will desert them. Evarts and Schurz,
his factotums, desire him to approve the
bills, and the Republican party is afraid
of the influence of those powerful per
sonages.
The contest in Washington is between
the Democrats who want a government
of the people, and the Republicans, who
are earnestly contending for a centralized
government, to be backed by the sword.
The Free Ballot or Radical “ Revo
lution.’”’
DeGolyer Garfield is quite as punctili
ous, if not so courageous and truthful, as
the redoubtable Sir John Fal staff, who,
it will be remembered, set himself
squarely against compulsion on princi
ple, and would not even give a reason on
compulsion, though reasons were as
plenty as blackberries. Mr. Garfield has
nothing to say m support of the law au
thorizing the marching of Federal sol
diers to the polls. He reminds the De
mocrats that he voted against the law
when it was adopted, from which we are
to infer that he regards it as a bad
law which ought never to have been
passed, and for the repeal of which he
would vote under other circumstances.
But Mr. Garfield is a stickler for parlia
mentary proprieties, and considers an at
tempt on the parU of the Democrats to
wipe out obnoxious and oppressive Radi
cal laws by a resort to the same means
which the Radicals employed for their
enactment as not only unjustifiable
compulsion, but “flat burglary,” treason
and revolution. Well, the long and
the short of the matter is, the peo
pie are determined henceforth to have
free elections and fair counts. To this end
they demand the repeal of Federal elec
tion laws, by which the government is
enabled to employ the Department of
Justice, the Federal Courts, the United
States army, and legions of marshals and
supervisors for the control of State elec
tions. If the repeal of these laws by any
peaceable, constitutional means is revolu
tion, then they are ready for the revolu
tion. If the government is to be “starved
to death” rather than that the people
shall enjoy the freedom of the elective
franchise, why then let it starve. If
such is indeed the fearful alternative
—if it has really come to this, that the
American people must surrender the
freedom of the ballot—then we say with
Bully Bottom: v
‘ Come, fates, come,
Cut thread and thrum.
Crash, conclude and quell:'*
De Golyer Garfield, says the New York
Sun, is in a state of alarm just now over
the assumed intention of the Democrats
to subvert the government. He made a
speech upon the subject in the House on
Saturday. De Golyer Garfield main
tained that, for the people’s representa
tives to force the redress of the people’s
grievances by withholding the supplies
that come out of the people’s pockets,
was revolutionary—“ revolutionary to
the core.” That is a point on which
there is at least room to differ from De
Golyer Garfield. But there is no room
for a difference of opinion as to the im
pertinence of De Golyer Garfield in put
ting himself forward as the champion of
the Constitution. Barely two years ago
this man, as a member of the unco ns ti
tutional electoral commission, aided in
counting in a fraudulent President He
is the last man who should take the name
of the Constitution in his mouth. If the
government is not permanently subverted
already, it is no thanks to De Golyer Gar
field.
Documents of a treasonable character
have been discovered on an Irishman,
who was on March 17 sentenced to a
month’s imprisonment at Newcastle-
under-Lyme for assault One of the pa
pers contained rules and regulations for
the management of the North of England
Division of the I. R. B., and referred to the
formation of a military organization, the
secret arming of members, and the secret
accumulation of war materials. Another
document, issued by order of “The Ex
ecutive,” had a foot note directing its
immediate destruction after perusal, and
contained the following paragraph: “Let
the universal satisfaction at our enemy’s
recent humiliating defeat by despised op
ponents stimulate us to exertions which
shall hasten our opportunity to strike
also. A Cetywayo with unarmed fol
lowers would never have staggered the
prestige or curbed the insolence of Eng
land. Arm, Ireland, and a ‘Rorke’s
Drift’ nearer home may shake the empire
to its base.” The Magistrate sent the
papers to the Home Secretary.
The Melbourne International Ex
position.—The International Exhibition
of 1880 at Melbourne, Australia, is to be
on a very imposing scale, as we judge by
a circular addressed to the Morning
News by the Executive Committee. The
building alone is to cost $475,000, and
the Exhibition is to continue for six
months, beginning October 1. The cir
cular states that Australia now ranks
third among the export markets of the
United Kingdom. Exclusive of Canada,
it holds almost as high a position among
the export markets of the United States.
The sale for American agricultural imple
ments in Australia is large, and if any
thing like the usual American enterprise
is exhibited, the market there can be in
definitely extended. All the space in
the Exhibition is free, and ninety thou
sand square feet have been reserved for
the use of the United States.
New Methods of State Taxation.
—California’s new constitution makes
some important changes in the system of
taxation. The County Boards of Equali
zation assess all property unifoimly and
equally, according to the true value, and
their work is subject to revision by the
State Board of Equalization. The taxts
will be levied on the principle of ‘'taxa
tion of all property according toils value
in money,” including mortgages and
stocks, with guarantees agaiDst double
taxation, which is prevented by the re
quirement “to make the assessment con
form to the true value in money.” The
much debated question of the taxation
of mortgages is disposed of by taxing
the money to the mortgagee and the land
to the mortgagor, less its value to the
amount of the money loaned.
Could This Happen in Boston?—
The Boston Journal says that a certain
physician in that city, whose practice is
almost entirely among the poorer people,
has the reputation of driving hard bar
gains with his patients, and, it is said,
always requires them to pay his fee be
fore giving them a prescription. Tho
story is told of him that a short time ago
he was called to attend a sick child whose
parents live in a tenement house. On
arriving at the house, not wishing to ex
ert himself more than was necessary, he
stopped at the foot of the stairs and
called: “Whose child is sick up there?”
Mine,” said the mother, coming to the
head of the stairs. “Well, bring me
down two dollars,” said the doctor. The
money was brought, and the doctor then
inquired the symptoms, which being
told, he said: “Oh, give it a dose of
castor oil,” and went his way.
The so-called “Horse Communities" of
Russia flourish in all cities where there
are universities. Most of the poorer
students, who are free from prejudices,
live upon horse flesh, which can be pro
cured at one-fifth the price of beef. It
is the custom of such students to board
in parties of from five to twenty, and
hence the name of “Horse Communi
ties.” So many Nihilists have been
found in these communities that the
horse meat eaters are liable to prosecu
tion by the government,
Why the People Demand Repeal.
The developments made before the
Wallace investigating committee on Fri
day, concerning the conduct of some of
the Uniled States Deputy Marshals at the
November election in Philadelphia, were
bad enough, but the testimony adduced
on Saturday was much worse. It was
shown that several of these officials, who
are the keepers of disreputable resorts (a
fact which of itself should have disquali
fled them from service), grossly interfered
with respectable citizens who came to the
polls to vote. Certificates issued to
Democratic judges of election were dis
regarded, even when endorsed as regular
by a Judge of the courts. In one division
the colored Marshal manipulated the
counting of the vote, and managed
to cut down the Democratic return to
one-half the number of votes deposited
by the adherents of that party. In many
divisions the Republicans began their
filibustering tactics so early in the morn
ing that opposition voters were actually
afraid to approach the polls. Voters
who presented genuine tax receipts were
arrested, and only released when the
clerk to whom the tax had been paid
pronounced the documents correct.
These facts, says the Record, throw con
siderable light on the means employed
in t!je city to roll up big majorities for
the Republican ticket. The investiga
tion has shown the necessity for dispen
sing with Federal officials at the polls.
The Republicans, says the Nashville
American, take the press generally, have
admitted so much of the Democratic
ground against the election laws, that it
is difficult to see how they will maintain
their position as to the mere manner of
reaching them. It may be fairly said
that there is not a single position as
sumed by the Democrats which has not
been admitted by some good Republican
authority to be correct as to the merits of
the case; but when it comes to their re
peal, they cry aloud agaiust the method
of repeal, when they have themselves,
again and again, adopted the same
method of passing and repealing meas
ures. This clamor is for the sole purpose
of preventing an examination of inde
fensible laws. The fact is, that with
all their outcry and heroics and
appearance of resolute defense, they are
thoroughly alarmed because they know
that this legislation needs but to be dis
cussed and exposed to be condemned by
two-thirds of the American people.
They begin to fear that, not daring to
stand wholly upon these laws, they will
not be able to arouse the solid North to
oppose the mere method by which it is
proposed to reach these obnoxious laws.
They are presuming upon a lingering
partisan spirit and sectional prejudice
which does not exist. There is new evi
dence every' day that the people of the
North are not to be lashed into a passion
simply because it is the desire of their
leaders that a passion should be made to
order.
“We’s got plenty o’ money and de
government gwine to help us,” was the
remark of one of the leaders of the negro
emigrants in St. Louis the other day
These are the people the New York
Times tells us have fled naked, wounded,
maimed and penniless from their homes,
bright exponents of the “spirit of
courageous independence and love of
liberty,’’etc.
The Philadelphia Record of Monday
says: “Mr. Tildeu’s physical condition
is reported as extremely precarious. A
guest at his house last week states that
the old gentleman had to be led to the
table and his food cut up for him. His
disease, which is partial paralysis, ap
pears to be progressing in defiance of
remedies.”
State Navies Forbidden by the Con
stitution.
Editor Morning Keics: I notice in your
issue of to-day the article headed “The
Navy of Georgia.”
The Constitution of the United States,
Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3, declares
that “no State shall, without the consent
of Congress, * * * keep troops, or ships
of war, in time of peace.”
The ‘ troops” here referred to are not
to be confounded with thd^‘militia,” the
national reserve force, provided for by
Article 1, Section 8, Clause 15; Article 1,
Section 8, Clause 16; Article 2, Section
2, Clause 1; Second and Fifth Amend
ments; but mean “troops” and “ships of
war” outside of and independent of the
Constitution; such as might have been
maintained by the States respectively
under the Articles of Confederation
which preceded the Constitution of 1789.
By those Articles of Confederation the
States entered into A Firm League of
Friendship with each other for their
common defense, and bound themselves
to assist each other against all attacks
made upon them for any pretence what
ever. Every State was to keep up a
well regulated and disciplined militia,
fully armed and equipped. When land
forces were raised by any State for the
common defense, all offic rs under the
rank of Colonel were to be appointed by
the Legislature of the State. The United
States were to appoint all officers of the
land forces in the service of the United
States except regimental officers.
For evident reasons no State was to
keep any vessel of war in time of peace
without consent of Congress. And the
United States were to appoint all officers
of the naval forces, and commission all
officers in the service of the United
States. The States were sovereign, free,
and independent, and retained every
power, jurisdiction, and right, which
was not by the confederation expressly
delegated to the United States in Con
gress assembled. Great Britain made
her treaty of peace in 1783 with each
State separately, as a sovereign, free and
independent nation, and not with the
United States. Hence the Governors of
the States, exercising the attributes of
sovereignty, were not only de jure but
also de facto commanders-in-chief of the
land and naval forces of their States.
The title was taken according to fancy,
or colonial charter, or precedent.
When in January, 1861, the State of
Georgia seceded from her union with
the United States, Governor Brown, sub
ordinate to the convention, resumed the
attributes of sovereignty, freedom, and
independence, and under the convention
organized an army and a navy. By re
quest of the military committee of the
convention I attended all of its sessions,
and framed for it the organizations, mili
tary and nava], and the military and
naval laws and regulations for their gov
ernment, by merely readopting in toto the
military and naval laws and regulations
of the United States, which were our
property before tho State seceded —
grades, ranks, titles, and all; And by
which Commodore Tatnall became ex-
officio Senior Flag Officer of the Navy of
the State of Georgia. Yours truly,
Henry C. Wayne,
Ex-Adjt. and Ins. Gen’l of the State of
Georgia.
April 2, 1879.
Spanking as a Cure.—Spanking has
varied uses. A child at Fort Wayne,
Indiana, had the misfortune to suck a
kernel of corn into its windpipe. The
doctor was sent for in haste, and an
nounced that it would be necessary to
perform the operation of tracheotomy to
save the child’s life. The fioosjer
mother, familiar with a practice of
domestic surgery of a different sort, and
not pleased v ith the idea of having the
child’s windpipe cut open, seized the
sufferer by one leg, and holding him up,
head downward, administered sundry re
sounding spanks. There was a sound
not unlike the report of a popgun, and
the kernel of corn was ejected with
g reat force. The child was at once re
eved, and Recovered, of course.
BLAZING PRAIRIES.
Startling: Reports from the Bis Sloox
Valley and Southern Dakota—Great
Damage and many Lives Lost.
The Sioux City (La.) Journal of March
31 has startling reports of the ravages of
prairie fires up the Big Sioux valley and
Southern Dakota. The fires on Saturday
were of unusual force, and destructive
beyond precedent The poles on the tele'
graph line on the Sioux City and Pembina
Railroad were burned. The line has been
down, and reports from that quarter are
not full. A merchant of Eden in Sioux
City to-day, tells harrowing tales of
losses in that quarter. On Saturday,
from his store door, the town occupying
an elevated position, he counted thirteen
farm houses in flames, and he says more
than forty in that vicinity have lost
everything—houses, bams, seed, grain,
etc. The flames traveled with such
rapidity that the people were unable to
save anything. The stricken people are
prostrated by the terrible blow. A large
Norwegian church, five miles from Eden,
was burned.
In the same neighborhood, a child, it
is reported, was fatally burned, and its
father terribly burned in his efforts to
save the child’s life. Northwest of
Beloit, a Norwegian named Nicholson,
while working to save his property, was
caught in the fire and so badly burned
that”he cannot live. It is reported that
two other men in the same locality were
burned to death. In the vicinity of
Portlandville, it is said, not less than
twenty farmers lost their hav, grain, etc.
Near Elk Point, Erie Richardson lost a
large amount of grain. A school house,
with all the books and contents, was also
burned. At White Swan, opposite Sand
Hill, the telegraph office, with all the
effects, was burned, as the operator re
ports from Yankton Agency. At the
same place the government stables were
burned, but the stock was saved. Alto
gether immense damage has been done
and the hardship to settlers is very se
vere. The grass is very rank and the
protracted dry spell has made it powerful
food for the lire.

Hartford, Times.
The vulgar adventuress who sought to
blackmail an aged ex-Senator, by bring
ing a suit in the Washington courts for
breach of promise, naturally sinks
quickly back into the oblivion out of
which she momentarily and discreditably
emerged, as soon as her real character
becomes too plain to be longer left in
doubt. Even the pungent pen of the
newspaper paragrapher no longer seeks
to arrest her descent, and she will here
after be remembered, if at all, only in
connection with one of the foul scandals
with which the national capital has been
too shamefully full ever since the second
year of the war. But, while the
public will be glad to dismiss
from sight the memory of this dis
reputable woman, her bad conduct
is indissolubiy associated with that of
Cameron. This notorious old politician,
who gained hi9 first notoriety more than
forty years ago, as was generally be
lieved, by robbing the government funds
appropriated to the Winnebago Indians,
and whose entire career has been con
spicuous for dishonesty and corruption—
a man who notoriously bought his seat
in the Senate, and who was expelled, be
cause of his outrageously corrupt con
duct as Secretary of War, from Lincoln’s
Cabinet—is now disclosed as an adept in
other forms of vice. And to make his
case still more conspicuous, he is said to
be taking measures for a libel suit against
a minister in Washington. The corre
spondent of the Times tells how it is.
The Rev. Dr. Naylor, of the Metropoli
tan church, in a sermon had stigmatized
Cameron (by inference) as “a gray-headed
libertine.” Refusing Cameron’s demand
that he should retract this offensive ex
pression, he is threatened with a prose
cution for defamation of character!
There is little likelihood that such a
suit will ever be brought to actual trial.
And the only interest that the public can
feel in the matter arises from the fact
that this man, now fallen so low, has held
very distinguished positions under the
government—though never by any virtue
or merit in his own character. He it was
who manipulated the infamous political
“money” campaigns m Pennsylvania
which gave that great State to the lie
publicans, not only in Grant’s case, but
in others—and against the honest vote of
the people. Cameron is a natural cor
ruptionist, and has remained true to the
bad side of his nature, from first to last.
In a time marked for the demoralization
of politics he has maintained, like Mil
ton's Satan, “that bad eminence” among
his contemporaries and associates which
gave him the name of being the pioneer
and exemplar of all who sought wealth
and distinction by “ways that are dark”
and corrupt in American politics He is
now loaded with another very undesira
ble distinction, and altogether he is like
ly to depart (when he does go) unlament
ed by the public.

Woman Bnrnt Alive as a Witch.
St. Petersburg Government Messenger.
Early last month a woman named Ag
rafena Ignatieva was burned as a witch
by the peasants in the village of Wrat-
shevo, in the Government of Novgorod.
It seems that the wretched woman, who
was the widow of a soldier, had the rep
utation of being a sorceress and witch,
and strove to promote this delusion by
every means in her power. The peas
ants of the whole neighboring district
had such a dread of her powers of mis
chief that they endeavored even to an
ticipate her wishes, and, although an
absolute pauper, she lived very comfort
ably on the contributions spontaneously
made to her. There were many persons
in the district suffering from epilepsy,
and it was popularly believed that the
witch had thus punished them for offend
ing her in some way.
One of these epileptic sufferers, a girl
from a distant village, besought some
peasants to burn the witch, and so re
lease her from her sufferings. At an as
sembly of headmen and seniors of the
villages it was resolved to extinguish the
source of mischief. They proceeded to
her hut, which they found fastened up.
They broke it open, discovered the
wretched woman, charged her with the
crime, and then nailed up ihe window
and door to prevent her escape. By this
time over two hundred men had assem
bled around the hut, and amid their
jeers and shouts of exultation it was set
on fire, and the whole crowd remained
until it was quite consumed. The sum
of twenty one roubles and ninety copecks
(nearly $16 50) was collected and offered
to the rural policeman as a bribe to se
cure his silence. But he rejected it, and
so this terrible tragedy came to light.
The Kind of a Man Buford Ik—
Tom Buford is one of the most reckless
and daring men in Kentucky. He does
not care for anybody or anything, nor is
he afraid of anything. One of his late
desperate acts was to draw a double bar
relled shot gun on the Sheriff and a posse
who came to levy on some of his prop
erty. When the men arrived at the gate
he walked to the door and pointed the
gun at the first man, and told them that
he would kill the first man* that entered
that gate. He then invited several of
them in to dinner, saying that as friends
he was glad to see them, but as officers
they could not come on his place. When
dinner was finished he told them they
must leave now; he had extended the
hospitalities of his farm, and he was
ne with them. Not one of those
twenty-six men had the pluck to disobey
or disregard what Tom Buford said, thus
Showing that he was regarded as a dan
gerous man by his neighbors. They did
not levy on the land or offer to do so
after his threat, but retired gracefully and
in order.—Louisville Courier-Journal.
Horace Manchester went down to the
sunken mail packet Thomas J. Lynch,
off Port Judith, near Newport, on Mon
day, being eighty feet under the water.
He signalled at the end of three quarters
of an hour that he was all right; later,
that he wanted more air, and still lqter
that he was getting too much. Shortly
afterwards something appeared to be
wrong, and Augustus Feliess, another
diver, was sent down. Feliess returned
after an absence of twenty minutes. He
reported that Manchester’s dead body
was suspended about five feet above the
vessel, and that the air-line had caught
upon one of the hooks about the rigging.
The body was finally recovered.
In Memphis, on Monday, H. F. Voss,
a German, committed suicide, shooting
himself with a pistol. Grief over the
seduction of his only daughter was the
cause which prompted the rash act.
COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH MEXICO.
Washington, April 2.—The joint resolu
tion introduced in the Senate to-day by Mr.
Harris, and referred to the Committee on
Foreign Relations, sets forth in the pream
ble that it is the desire and wish of the gov
ernment and people of the United States
to maintain the most amicable relations
with the republic of Mexico; that it is be
lieved to be manifestly to the interest of the
people of both governments to extend and
increase by all proper means the ex
change of products, and to facili
tate and foster most liberal commercial
relations between the people of the two
governments, and that many citizens
of the United States have invested their
capital, and others are desirous of investing
in the republic of Mexico in mining, con
struction of railroads, banking, farming,
6tock raising, merchandizing, and in other
enterprises,and in this view with the purpose
of increasing the said investments, which
are believed to be mutually beneficial to the
people of both governments, a treaty is
deemed necessary; therefore.
Resolved, That the President of the United
States be authorized and requested to ap
point three commissioners, to be confirmed
by the Senate, to open and conduct^negotia-
tions with the Government of Mexico for
the purpose of making a treaty which will
include the matter and subjects named in
the preamble to this resolution, and any and
all matters, which, in the opinion of the two
governments, are proper subjects of such
treaty.
ADVICES FROM HAVANA.
New York, April 2.—A letter from Havana
says that a marked influence was exerted
upon the recent ministerial crisis in Madrid
by the political state of Cuba. The Spanish
Minister had resolved to advise the King
that the Cortes be dissolved and the
Deputies of the Spanish and Colonial
Provinces convoked in order to admit mem
bers to be elected in Cuba and Porto Rico,
and give effect to the new electoral law.
The Minister, at the same time, decided to
resign, that the new order of things might
be without obstruction. The immediate
and urgent attention of the new Ministry
will be directed to the settlement of esti
mates for Cuba, including taxes to be levied
and all the difficult and important questions
of the new organization will be lullj con
sidered.
Telegraphic communication by land be
tween Havana, Santiago de Cuba and Cien
fuegos is now established.
A semi-weekly newspaper, called the Citi
zen, and edited by colored persons, has been
started in Havana to represent the interests
of the African race in Cuba.
THE TEA DUTY IN ENGLAND.
London, April 2.—The duty paid on tea
withdrawn from bonded warehouses
Fridav, Saturday and Monday averaged
£52,000. The daily withdrawals were in
consequence of the apprehension that the
government intended to levy a duty on tea.
the announcements of which would be
made in the budget’s statement on Thurs
day night. The with4cawals of Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday will probably be
heavier. The fear of the tea duty has been
prevailing for some weeks to such an extent
as largely to influence the withdrawals, but
has not had much effect on prices.
The duty paid on tea withdrawn from the
government warehouses on Tuesday last
amounted to eighty thousand pounds. The
average daily payment during the ordinary
busy season is ten thousand pounds. The
Times' editorial article this morning, fore
casting the budget, is a comment on the
supposed intention of the government to
levy duty on tea.
LAWLESSNESS IN TEXAS.
Galveston, April 2.—A special to the
Aeuvs from Fort Griffin says: “On the night
of the 26th ult., nine disguised, well armed
men took j»ossestion of Hamburg’s store,
on Tepee creek, near the Staked Plain, cov
ering Clarke and others with pistols until
they robbed the store of all money, arms
and ammunition. They then attacked a
camp party en route to Leadville, taking
them by surprise, and shooting Mr. Anderson.l
who attempted resistance. They took about
$300 and all the live stock of the party
After leaving this vicinity they went to
Blanco canon and robbed the store of Con
rad Roth ol $1,500 worth of provisions,
arms, etc. They are believed to be the no
torious Reeves gang from Lincoln county.
The New Mexico Rangers will pursue them. "
TRIAL OF EMBEZZLERS.
Boston, April 2.—Royal B. Conant,
charged with embezzling about $70,000
while cashier of the Eliot National Bank,
was before the United States Circuit Court
to-day, and General Butler, his attorney,
moved to quash the indictment because the
property embezzled was not specifically de
scribed therein. The decision of the court
has not yet been reached.
Nathan P. Pratt, the defaulting Treasurer
of the Reading Savings Bank, was brought
to Wakefield to-day for examination, but
his counsel waived it and he was remanded
to jail in default of $50,000 bail. His defal
cation has been fixed at upwards of $40,000.
ACTION OF THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
Washington, April 2.—At the Democratic
caucus to-day it was determined that Hoar’s
resolution, denunciatory of the so-called
Democratic programme for the extra ses
sion, would be tabled and the discussion of
the political issues postponed until the
questions involved in the army appropria
tion bill shall have been brought before the
Senate for action. No action was taken on
the question of permitting general legisla
tion during the present session, but a preva
lent sentiment appeared to be strongly in
favor of restricting the legislative business
to the passage of the appropriation bills.
WINNER OF THE GREAT NORTHAMPTONSHIRE
STAKE.
London, April 2.—The great Northamp
tonshire stake was the chief event on the
f irogramme of the Northampton and Pyteh-
ey hunt meeting to-day, the original sub
scribers numbering fifty-one, but of these
only seven started. C. Pei kins’ Rochamp-
ton, who was one of the heaviest handicapped
of those accepting, came in winner. Lord
Roseberry’s Ridotto, who was the favorite
In the betting, took the second place, and
F. Grittan’s Ancient Pistol the third. Bet
ting before the start was seven to one against
Rochampton, seven to two against Ridotto,
and ten to 1 against Ancient Pistol.
RHODE ISLAND STATE ELECTION.
Providence, April 2.—At the State elec
tion to-day four parties were in the field.
The vote was light. The whole Republican
State ticket was elected by a larger majority
than last year, viz: Governor, Chas. C.
Van Zandt, of Newport: Lieutenant Gov
ernor, Albert C. Howard, of Providence.
Secretary of State, Joshua Maddeman.of
Providence; Attorney General, Willard
Sayles, of Providence, General Treasurer,
Samuel Cflhk, of Lincoln. The General As
sembly will show the usual Republican ma
jority in both houses.
ROWELL SAILS FOR ENGLAND.
New York, April 2.—The steamship
Scythian, of the Cunard line, left her dock
at the foot of Grand street, Jersey City,
this afternoon at 2 o’clock. Her cabin
borths were all filled. Among the promi
nent passengers were Charles Rowell, with
the championship belt of the world, won at
the six days’ cpntest at Gilmore’s Garden,
accompanied by Chas. Asplin and W. Simp^
son, his trainers, and Geo. W. Atkinson,
iporting editor of the London Sporting Life.
A number of the champion’6 friends came
down to the dock to see him off.
DEMAND FOR HIGHER WAGES.
San Francisco, April 2.—About two hun
dred laborers employed on a sea wall at the
North Beach struck work to-day and went
to California street hill, where about one
hundred more men were working, and
forced them to quit work. A strong squad
of police maintained order. The strikers
demand an advance of fifty cents a day, and
say they will allow no one to go to work at
the former wages. The contractor an
nounces his intention of putting on men at
the previous rates.
THE HOUSE DEBATE.
Washington, April 2.—Mr. Townshend,
of Illinois, next spoke on the Democratic
side of the question. He did not know by
what authority Mr. Garfield spoke when he
intimated that the.-e bills would not receive
the sanction of the President, but if that
prophecy was to be verified there was no
man so blind or prejudiced as not to know
that their failure was due to the President.
If the government was to be starved the
responsibility for that was not to be laid at
the door of the Democratic party.
TOTAL LOSS 07 A BARK.
Norfolk, Va., April 2.—The wreckers
ba^e abandoned all hope of saving the bark
Admiral, which recently went ashore at
False Cape. She is a total lose.
AN EX COLLECTOR HONORABLY ACQUITTED
New Orleans, April 2.—The case against
ex-Collector George L. Smith, recently in
dicted by the grand jury, charged with per
petrating fraud on the government by
carrying on the custom house rolls the
names of parties not actually performing
work for the government, came up for trial
to-day in the Circuit Court. After examining
half a dozen witnesses, District Attorney
Leonard stated that the government had
failed to make out a case, and the accused
was honorably acquitted.
ACTION OF THE GREENBACKERS.
Washington, April 2.—The members of
the National Greenback party are holding
conferences to decide upon some practica
ble method of introducing in the House the
financial measures decided upon at their
meeting last week. It is reported that at
their yesterday’s conference they agreed
if the majority refused to permit them to
introduce their measures, to move that the
sections of the appropriation bills embody
ing political legislation be stricken out.
THE CHILI-BOLIVIA WAR.
Valparaiso, March 22.—The Chilian
troops which have disembarked in Bolivia
have occupied Cobija, Colama and Toca-
pilla. Advices dated March Sth are to the
effect that the President of Peru has an
nounced his intention to remain neutral.
The Bolivian Government will remain on the
defensive and await an attack in the interior
country.
EXTRAORDINARY MEETING OF THE ANGLO-
AMERICAN CABLE COMPANY.
London, April 2.—An extraordinary gen
eral meeting of the shareholders of the
Anglo-American Cable Company will be
held on the Sth instant to consider a scheme
for the organization of a direct French
Cable Company to work in conjunction with
the existing system and thus antagonize the
Pouyer-Quertier scheme.
A TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLAR COLT.
Trenton, N. J., April 2.—The celebrated
trotter, Goldsmith Maid, was delivered of a
fine bay horse at the Fashion Stud Farm
last evening. The sire is George Washing
ton. Mr. Smith to-day refused the offer of
$20,000 for it.
DESTROYED BY FIRE.
New York, April 2.—The large rendering
establishment of Swift »fc White, on Barren
Island, was destroyed by fire this morning.
The loss is estimated at $150,000. No in
surance.
PRINCESS CHRISTINA BETTER.
Seville, April 2.—Princess Christina, sec
ond daughter of the Duke of Montpensier,
who yesterday was supposed to be dying, is
better, but not yet out of danger.
A FAMILY SWEPT AWAY.
Ulack Death la Missouri— Re
markable Fatality.
Lexington (Mo.) Register.
The most fearful fatality we have ever
been called upon to chronicle during the
whole course of our editorial experience
occurred to a poor family by the name
of Carnes, residing a mile and a half
above the city. The family consisted of
Mr. and Mrs. Carnes and two grown
sons, the eldest of whom was totally
blind, having been in that condition
from his infancy. On the 8th inst. the
youngest son, who was the main support
of the family, being a robust, healthy and
industrious young man, took suddenly
ill, and died within a few hours in con
vulsions. His remains were interred
upon the following day, and a few
hours after the funeral his father was
taken with the same virulent disease.
He lingered on until the following
Wednesday, when he also died, seem
ingly in the most excruciating physi
cal agony. After death, it is said,
the body turned quite black and was
much swollen. During his illness his
wife was prostrated with the same disor
der, and survived him but two days, ex
piring on Friday in fearful convulsions.
The remaining member of a once happy
family, the blind son, is suffering with
the same cruel disease that deprived him
of a kind father and mother and loving
brother, and there is little if any hope of
his recovery. The disease that has al
most swept this family from the face of
the earth may be likened to the plague
of Astrakhan, or the dread fever of Af
rica, as it does its deadly work with
almost the same expedition, though for
tunately it is not infectious. The disease
has been pronouneed to be a malignant
type of pleuro pneumonia, but it is doubt
ful if this i9 correct. It may be a relief
to know that no other persons in that
neighl>orhood have been attacked with
the fell disorder, which is evidently not
contagious, and all apprehensions that
have naturally arisen on that score may
at once be allayed.
