or until a short time since, when' he was
transferred to the Smithsonian Institute to
lparn the art of a taxidermist. He proved
so expert that Professor Baird sends him
with this expedition to gather up specimens
of the wild birds of South Florida. We
have seen no account of a movement that
appeals so strongly to the public-sympathy,
and to the almost universal desire to learn
the facts of a matter of common public in

ent condition of the Seminoles in South

Florida ABalrs.
A letter to us from Indian River states
that in time to come Northern capitalists
must know that Merritt’s Island is the para
dise of Florida. All tropical fruits grow
there to perfection, and citizens of the
island have a fortune before them if they
will plant limes, lemons and guavas. Iu ad
dition to these advantages, good health and
good water, “as pure as though it were
fresh from heaven,” can he had with little
muscular exertion. Grapes and sugar-cane
also flourish luxuriantly.
Watermelons are sold by the slice in Jack*
sonvillc.
“Bisby,” Jr., 6eems to oscillate between
Jacksonville and the North. Doubtless the
latter is more congenial to h<s feelings, bat
Florida is the best place from which to run
forCongress.
Hon. Columbns Drew has been confined
to his home by a spell of sickness.
The Montlcello Constitution says that “ it
is now positively decided that the Radical
candidate for Governor of Florida in I860
will be Col. Bisbee, with L. G. Dennis for
Lieutenant Governor. It is also suggested
that cx-Seuator Conover will be an inde
pendent candidate for Governor, for the pur
pose of weakening the Democratic vote.”
Bisbee and Dennis would make np
sweet old ticket, to be sure. But how could
Conover’s running weaken the Democratic
vote ? Surely no Democrats would vote for
him. That must be a misprint on the part
of our contemporary.
Dr. Edward Barnard, a druggist well
known iu Florida, died last week, aged
seventy-four years. He lived in Tallahassee
from 1833 to 1S67, when ho went to New
York, where he remained one year, and then
returned to Florida and engaged in busi
ness m Jacksonville. At the time of his
death he was apothecaiy at the State lunatic
Asylum at Chattahoochee.
The Pensacola Gazette's idea of luxury is
to be able to send bottles of beer to an arti
ficial ice factory, have the beer frozen in ono
hundred and twenty pound blocks, and
then eat the ice.
Another small fire in Tallahassee last week
again warned the citizens of that city that
a steam lire engine was a necessity.
On the subject of the Seminoles of Flori
da the Jacksonville Sim and Press says:
“Very Jittln is known of the remnaut'of
this once powerful tribe of Indians, now
living in South Florida, as to their numbers,
E resent condition or future prospects. The
est judges among the white people esti
mate that they number somewhat less than
four hundred, but it Is all guesswork. Capt,
It. II. Pratt, who had charge of tho band of
Indians brought into the Stale some four
delivered a very fine discourse on education,
aud urged the people of the “Empire State”
to educate their children well and to build
up home institutions. He highly compli
mented and also congratulated the students
on their good conduct for the past year, and
for the great improvement made in their
studies.
One of the most attractive features of the
evening was the excellent musical treat giv

The Greenback Conspiracy.
Mobile Register.
The Greenback party is simply a con
spiracy to draw men away from the
Democratic party for the benefit of the
Radicals. If there has been any doubt
heretofore as to the truth of this state
ment, that doubt is now set to rest by
the recent amusing and very important
mistake made at Washington the other
day by Congressman Hubbeli, Chairman
of the Republican Congressional Com
mittee. ife mistook Congressman Turn
er, a stalwart Democrat, for Congress
man Robinson, Chairman of the Ohio
Republican Executive State Committee.
It seems that Mr. Turner looks very much
like Mr. Robinson. Mr. Hubbeli told
him what good service was being done
the Republican party of Ohio by the
greenback party, and commended the
work of tbs Greenback organ at Wash-
ington/of which Mr. Lee grandall, once
pretty well known in "New Orleans and
in Alabama, is manager. The organ in
question is supposed to be Inspired by
Colonel Lowe, as he and Crandall are
from tho same section of Alabama. The
alfair has grown so interesting that not
only is Mr. Turner out in a card reciting
the particulars of his interview with Mr.
Hubbeli, but Messrs. Clymer and Kenna
havQ also published statements necessary
to a'fuli explanation of it. Mr. Turner

Commencement Exercises at Pio Nono
College.
Macon^ Ga., Jane 26.—Editor Morning
News : Before retiring I have concluded to
write you a little sketch of the commence
ment of Pio Nono College, held in the study
hall of that institution.
The exercises of the evening began at
half-past eight o’clock, before quite a large,
intelligent and appreciative audience.
First on the programme was an essay by
Mr. T. B. Mackey on “The Influence of Re
ligion Upon Civilization.” Mr. Mackey's
paper on this subject was well written and
read. By numerous illustrations the essay
ist showed the great sway that that sub-
llraest of all powers had, and still has, and
will have over mankind.
We next had a Savannah representative,
Mr. Michael J. Egan, who delivered a Latin
oration entitled “De Ciceronls Orationibus.”
Mr. Egan’s tribnte to eloquence, not to
speak of his review of the principal works,
merits and demerits of the grand Roman
orator, was remarkably fine and powerful.
Mr. Egan is a splendid speaker.
A scientific oration on “The Air” was
then delivered by Mr. V. J. Dorr. This
speech was very entertaining and instruct
ing. Mr. Dorr entered into a thorough
analysis of his subject in a regular scientific
manner. He showed most clearly the
beauties and the utility of that medium,
air, the benefits of which we enjoy, bat of
which mankind generally are so ignorant or
so thoughtless. Mr. Dorr deserves credit
for the able manner in which he acquitted
himself.
Mr. C. J. Rooney’s oration on “Medbeval
History and its Commentators” came next.
Mr. Rooney proved beyond doubt that the
middle ages were not dark; that it was dur
ing that period that gunpowder, spectacles,
the clock and the mariner’s compass were
invented; that if it were not for the mighty
progress that the arts and sciences then
made, this our glorious and enlightened
nineteenth centnry would be dark indeed.
This was a grand vindication ol the fact
that the Catholic Church has ever been the
foster mother of the arts, science and
literature; and that to her alone are we in
debted for what was preserved from that
terrible scene of destruction, when the
Goths, the Vandals and Yisi-Goths came
down like an avalanche on the civilized
and polished part of Europe. Mr. Rooney’s
arguments were orderly and forcibly drawn.
His oration on the ages “ When a
Raphael painted and a Vida sung,” was
simply magnificent.
Thus ended the programme for the even
ing, which was interspered with exquisite
music. I cannot fail to mention, with ao-
S lause, the piano performances of Mr. E.
L Patterson, of Oswichec, Ala.
Now wc had the distribution of medals
and premiums. The gold medal for deport?
ment and the medal for the jnnlor class
were awarded to Mr. C. J. Rooney, of Au
gusta, Qa.; Mr. W. B. McKeon, of Augusta,
Ga., received the 8ophomore class medal;
Master Newton Jonge, of Savannah, Ga.,
the Freshman class medal; the prepartory
class medal to Master Jno. Walsh, of Augus
ta, Ga.'
The gold medal for the t)est dedaimer in
the college, donated by the RL Rev. W. H.
Gross, D. D., was awarded to Michael J. Ea-
gau, of Savannah, Ga. Here Mr. Eagan was
called on to declaim, and rendered “The
Progress of Madness” to perfection. The
audience were taken away with his powers
of elocution.
The gold medal for the best historical es
say, donated by Rev. A. J« 8emmes, A. M.,
M. D., was awarded T. Beckford Mackey, of
Chester, S. C. Subject of essay: Compari
son between Alexander the Great and Naj
leon Bonaparte. J£r. Mackey was call
upon to read it. It really was a grand pro
duction.
The gold njedal for the best special exami
nation in Science and Mathematics, donated
by Prof. F. J. M. Daly, A. M., LI B., was
awarded to Master Jas. P. Lavra, of Savan
nah, Ga. Master Lavin won this medal, so
we learn, against fearful odds. So much the
more to his honor.

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
Failure of a Cotton Firm.
COXGRXSSiaXAL.
Washington, June 30.—In the Senate,
Mr. Vest’s free coinage resolution was con
sidered, the question being on Mr. Allison’s
motion to refer the resolution to the Finance
Committee. Adopted. Yeas 23, nays-
The Senate bill relating to the licensing of
vessels not propelled wholly by sail or in
ternal motive power of their own, was taken
np, and the House amendments weie con
curred in. At twenty minutes to two o’clock
the Senate went into executive session, and
when the doors were opened Hayes’ message
calling attention to the failure of Congress
to make appropriation for marshals’ fees
was read and referred to the Appropriation
Committee.
Mr. Eaton then desired to take np again
the resolution with'regard to adjournment,
which he reported earlier in the day.
Mr. Windom, however, again objected,
and introduced a bill making appropriation
s without the conditional
for marshals’ fees
louses.
On motion of Mr. Eaton, it was amended
so as to be an exact copy of the bill just
ras indefinitely post-
vetoed, and finally it was
poned.
After another executive session of short
duration, the Senate adjourned until to
morrow.
In the House, the roll of States was called
for bUls f or ref erence, but only about a dozen
wej-e introduced. One hundred and fifty-
seven members are present, being thirteen
more than a quorum.
Mr. Eaton, from the Committee on Ap
propriations, reported favorably on the
House joint resolution to adjourn sine die at
4 p. m. to-day.
Mr. Windom objected to present consid
eration, and the resolution goes over until
to-morrow. . Mr. Windom stated he regret
ted to be obliged to object, bat as it was in
his power to prevent the majority from ad
journing to-day without passing the appro
priation bills for which Congress was con
vened, he thought it his duty to give them
a night to think over their resolution and
come to a better one.
Mr. Chandler then proceeded to arraign
the Democratic party-for its*course in the
present session.
The Speaker laid before the House the
veto message of Mr. Hayes'on the marshals’
bill, and it was read. The House refused to
pass the bill over the veto by a vote of 83 to
At 2:30 o’clock another message was re
ceived from Mr. Hayes and read, calling the
attention of the House to the importance of
making some provision for the marshals,
saying that under the existing laws prohib
iting the incurment of liabilities ontside of
appropriations the Executive could not com
mand their services, and that a suspension
of their functions for even a short time
would be inconsistent with public interests,
and might at any moment prove Inconslsten ;
with public safety.
The message was referred to the Appro
priations Committee, as was also a letter
from the Attorney General on the same sub
ject presented by Mr. Atkins, of Tennessee.
After disposing of some unimportant
business on the Speaker’s table, the House
took up and passed, under a suspension of
the rales, the bill originally introduced by
Mr. McKenzie, of Kentucky, putting salts
of quinine and sulphate of quinine on the
free list. The vote stood 125 to 32.
The House then adjourned.
HAYES’ FIFTH VETO.
Washington, Jane 30.—Mr. Hayes has
approved the bill making appropriations for
judicial expenses, but vetoed the bill mak
ing appropriations to pay fees of United
States marshals and their general deputies.
lie says the bill contains restrictions simi
lar to those in that heretofore vetoed, and
concludes his message as follows: ‘fin order
tff secure its enactment the same measure is
again presented for ray approval, coupled
in the bill before me with appropriations
for the support of marshals and their depu
ties during the next fiscal, year. The
object, manifestly, is to place be
fore the Executive this alternative,
either to allow the necessary functions of
the public service to be crippled or sus
pended for want of appropriations required
to keep them in operation, or to approve
legislation which in official communications
to Congress he has declared would be In
violation of his constitutional duty. Thus
in this bill the principle is clearly embodied,
that by virtne of a provision of the Con
stitution which requires that all bills for
raising revenue shall originate in the
House of Representatives, a bare majority
of that House has a right to;withhold appro
priations for the'support of the government
unless the Executive consents to approve
any legislation which may be attached to
appropriation bills. I respectfully refer to
the communications on this subject which I
have sent to Congress duriqg the present
session for a statement of the grounds of
tay conclusions, and desire .here merely to
repeat that, in my judgment, to establish
the principle of this bill is to make a radi
cally dangerous and unconstitutional change
in the character of oar institutions.
Son Francisco Chronicle t June 17.
The reporter, having introduced him
self, inquired when General Grant would
return to America. Mr. Borie replied:
1 Probably not before the 10th of Sep
tember next. He is not at all anxious to
return home. He is having a fine time,
and is enjoying himself with all the zest
of a schoolboy who wants to make the
most of his vacation.’
•• Is the General aware of the move
ments now on foot to make him the Re
publican nominee for President in 1880?”
“Oh! yes; he undoubtedly knows
about that. In fact, that seems to be
pretty generally understood both here
and abroad.”
1 Then there is no truth iu the reports
which have recently been circulated to
the effect that he knows nothing what
soever of his party’s desire to place him
in the Presidential chair?”
“I don’t think there is. 'He must be
aware of it”
“Knowing, then, that many Republi
cans desire to place him in nomination
for the Presidency, will he decline or is
he willing to accept the nomination?”
“I hope he will refuse to accept the
infernal office. I call it infernal because
I consider it the most trying and difficult
position in the world. In fact, so anx
ious have I been for him to decline that
it was for the sole purpose of endeavor
ing to dissuade him from making a sacri
fice of himself that I left Philadelphia
and joined him when I did.”
“Did you accomplish the object of
your journey and dissuade the General
from accepting the honors sought to be
thrust upon him by his party?”
“ I didn’t have an opportunity to talk
directly to him on the subject. In fact,
I never got any further than hints, in?
sinuations and suggestions.”
‘Is he willing to become the next
President ?”
“ Personally, I don’t think he is.
“ Will he refuse the nomination ?”
“ He will not be allowed to, I fear. I
am of the opinion that it will be forced
upon him and that he will he compelled
by the people to again become our Presi
dent. He is the man who will disperse
from the political horizon of the country
the clouds of impending danger, and that
is the man the nation wants.”

Grant directly on the subject of his nomi
nation, and do not know positively as to
whether he will accept or decline f’

Hartford Courant.
An application of Harry Nichols,
Meriden coachman about twenty years
old, fpj* a decree of divorce from
Green, aged forty, develops a rqn^antic
episode of - life at the Reform School.
Nichols, who was released from that
institution last February, relates that
some time previous Mjss Green, the
laundress, in an apparently ic
way stood beside him before
some of the . boys, and ]
fully said: “We’d make a nice looking

and lore and admire him. Even the
Democrats arc beginning to feel that he
is the man that the country needs. I have
talked with several of the most promi
nent Democrats in the nation on the sub
ject and they told me they would sup
port Grant as a candidate for the Presi
dency. I have talked with Democrats
here to-day whose names I do not wish
to mention, and they promise to sustain
him in the next Presidential campaign.”
At this point in the dialogue Mr.
Borie’s knowledge of the probability of
Grant’s acceptance of the Presidential
nomination apparently became ex
hausted, and the conversation branched
off into other topics.
“When did you join the General?” in
quired the reporter.
■ Ti met him at Paris in January last
and left him iii China.”
What estimate is placed upon his
generalship throughout the different
countries you visited together? Is ho
considered as the greatest military genius
of his age?”
“He seems to be. The enthusiasm
with which he has been received every
where is indeed astonishing. AH na
tions admire him. Wherever he traveled
he was feted and honored; and I believe
to-day that he has the greatest reputation
of any man in the world.”
“I presume he will travel extensively
throughout the Pacific States?”
“Yes; he will be in no huny to leave
here and will visit Oregon, the Yosemite
and all other places of interest along the
coast.” '
‘•Have you heard anything about tqe

“Oh, yes; I heard about such things
before my arrival here, but in San Fran
cisco nothing has been said to me on the
subject, as I
day.”
“Do yon believe there is any truth in
these reports?”
“Yes, I think there is. I shall proba
bly myself be one of the throng which
will assemble here to meet the General.
He is a great man and I have known him
for many years.”
“When, Mr. Borie, do yon intend to
a start for your home?”
“To-morrow morning;”

Five days have passed since Mr. Conk-
ling received the lie, “with circum
stances,” from Mr. Lamar, and be
made no response to the insult, save the
disgraceful one from his place of safety
in the Senate chamber. It is therefore
safe to' conclude that Mr. Conkling does
not belong to that class of brave men
who will not bear such epithets, and it ia
competent to inquire whether he can be
assigned to the class of good men who do
not deserve them. To this end, let us
briefly review the trial and its conse
quences.
Mr. Conkling. in debate, charged upoi
the Democratic party had faith; and h
went further, to single out Mr. Lamar,
as the advocate of the levee hill, and im
pute political dishonesty directly to him,
in language and with a manner whose
premeditated offensiveness no one misun
derstood. We repeat premeditated, for, as
is well known, the relations between
these Senators, if not absolutely hostile,
were at least cold and distant, and tile
arrogant disdain, which is the metier of
the Senator from New York, was, in the
instance under consideration, pointed
and undisguised.
Mr. Lamar at once characterized the
imputation as a falsehood, which he re
pelled with contempt
ID. Conkling thereupon said that if he
understood the member from Mississippi
aright, he charged him with intentional
misstatement, and asked: “What did the
member from Mississippi say?'
Mr. Lamar arose, and, addressing the
Chair, twice asked—Mr. Conkling still
standing—if the Senator from New York
yielded the floor?
To this interrogatory Mr. Conkling
made no reply, bnt, taming his back on
Mr. Lamar, indulged in a cheap bravado
Of what he might <jo elsewhere, and re
torted with the low epithets of black
guard, and coward and liar. He sat
down, and Mr. Lamar paused a moment,
and then, amid that profound stillness
which always attends intense but re
pressed excitement, he deliberately re
joined :
“I have only to say to the Senator
from New York that he understood me
most correctly. I said precisely the
words 'he' understood me to say. My
language was harsh and unparliamenc
ary, and I beg pardon of the Senate for
it; but my language was such as no good
man would deserve and no brave man
would wear.
An answer, perfect in its temper, tone
and tact It was final, absolute, conclu
sive. The preparation of - a lifetime
could not improve on it It has all the
Toledo’s keen glitter and elastic swift
ness, with the ice-brook’s temper. Mr.
Conkling was silent—of course. The
.thrust was through the heart The
only sound heard was that of the shall
against his heart, as the deadly blade
was driven bome-
And Mr. Conkling and his ffionds—
nancimur a tociix—aver that the . blpw
which has left hiiq dead oh the field of
dishonor, was avenged, if not parried,
by his brutal billingsgate.
Better and braver men than Mr. Conk
ling have borne as bitter insult without
retaliation. But they were gentlemen
men of charitable lives aqfi gentle man
ners, with peaceful thoughts in their
hearts, and words of peace upon their
lips. Not of such is Mr. Conkling. He
is a bold, violent, harsh, aggressive man
prone to giving provocation,' imperious
and overbearing, seeking quarrel, not
avoidiug it. Moreover, he prides him
self ou his thews and sinew. Hp,
or his friends in’ his nafoe, make
boast of his skill wjth the pistol
It is notorious that he is a train
ed athlete, and it is rumored that
he is fond of sparring exhibitions,
and of displaying his process as a boxer
at bachelor dinners. By general consent
he ia “a fighting man.” \V'ben Gordon
challenged him he sought qo shelter un
der the cloak of a civilization hsi ' ’
to the code.” On the contrary,
his friends for him, sought to.impress on
the gaping public that “Barkis was wil
ling.” Even now there is no talk about
his unwillingness, on any moral grounds,
to “fight a duel." Mr. Conkling, there
fore, not disavowing the code, must be
judged by the code. What is the ver-
diet? That Conkling is a cad!
No gentleman would have spoken of a
great political party, his superiors in
number, influence, as "sneaks and
frauds.” None but a man of low in
stincts and mean habits of thought would
have charged upon a rival advocating a
.use of transcendent importance to his
‘ 'pic, that he was acting in bad faith,
lie did not lie when he asked what the
member said—implying that he did not
hear or understand him—his duty was to
have waited for Mr. Lamar’s answer.
A gentleman, conscious of bis own
dignity and moral worth and desiring
peace with ail men, if possible,
would have waited for the rejoinder.
How could he have forseen that Mr.
Lamar meant to clinch the charge of
falsehood? No! like the bully that he
is, he turned his back on his man an<
broke out into a wild tirade of abuse,' in
language such as only vQe men use.
From the sale security of his place in
the Senate, he vapored about what he
would say or do if not restrained by a
sense of that decency which he utterly
outraged. So Thersites railed against
the greatest of the Greeks until Ulysses
cudgeled him.
But he is not only a cad, but a coward.
He fias been-given the lie and has not re
sented it. Fur the mortal insult thus
offered him there could be but one satis
faction asked or riven. The cold, de
liberate, aggravated repetition of it, left
no possible appeal save that of arms.
•You lie!” said Lamar, "when yon
charge bad faith upon me.”
“What do you say, sir?”
“I say that you lie; that unless you
were a bad man you would not deserve
the epithet, and except you are a coward
you will not wear it.” And Mr. Conkling

Health, who have given the matter con

eling in the South, are at the opinion
thht the Southern States are to escape a
visitation of the fever this summer. In
the early spring there was a great deal of
alarm here about it, more than got into the
race in England is 'so profound that iti papers, but this feeling has given way to
phenomenal. It was not only
that the late Baron was kina
and generous among his people,
but he reemed to be an avatar not
of one hut many of the idealized
saints of Jewish tradition. He
had the wealth and generosity of Job
without his troubles; be built temples
like Solomon, and lived magnificently,
but was strict in regard of virtues, which
Solomon had not; he was a devout and
even teclmically careful Jew, yet be en
tered into the sports of Englishmen, and
his horse. Sir Bevys, won the Derby the
same week his master died. In a word,
the late Baron was the ideal of his peo
ple, with the blessing of Israel’s God
resting upon him as visibly as ever on
Abraham, and he stood amid this com
munity as a living answer to. the “Sby-
loclf" theory of their race. |t was through
him that the Jews of England advanced
so far as to make a breach in
the Christian character of the English
Parliament. It was a victory won
by money. The Jews have long been
accqsed of worshiping gold, but in truth
that race always knew that the world
worshiped gold, and that oply by always
keeping a supply on hand could their
race be saved from extermination. lit
various parts of Europe the Jews were
kept as sheep in a pen, to be annually
sheared; or, as bees in a hive, poll acting
from far and wide the golden honey,
whiph wqs regularly taken for the
treasuries of Popes and Princes. As the
main factor in the struggle of a supersti-
tiously hated race for existehce, wealth
became its necessity, and foeir resolution
to preserve it has been increased by their
discovery that the man of millions is the
premier of premiers.
' The father of the late Baron onpc said
to Sir Thon^as FowpU Buxton, who
asked his plaits for his three sons: “I
wish them to give mind and soul and
heart and body —everything—to business.
That is the way to be happy. It requires
a great dpal of boldness and pantiqn to
hiakp a great fort line, and when yoq
have got it it requires ten times as much
wit to keep it. ” So spake old Nathan—
the experience of fifteen centuries.
Neither the wisdom of Spinoza, the vir
tues of Hoses Mendelssohn, nor the ge
nius and accomplishments of Heine, ever
gained for their race such advantages in
Christian Europe as was gained by the
skillfully used wealth of Lionel de Roths-
pt^ild. From lapk of wealth Disraeli
surrendered, sold his birthright, became
a nominal Christian and has his re
ward. With plenty of monqy Lionel
de Rothschild stood'at the door of Parlia
ment, repeatedly elected but refusing to
> the oath of office on the gospels. At
last, in 1850, Parliament gave signs of
yielding before the mqn whom the city
of London insisted should be their rep
resentative. On the motion of Joseph
Hume it agreed that Rothschild should
make his oath on the Qld Testament
alone. But wbeq foe formula came to
the woptla Van the tpqe faith of a Chris
tian” the Jew refused to rppeat the words
aud again left the House of Commons.
So unbending stood the Jew for eight
years more. Then Parliament had to
surrender. The Jew entered on his own
faith alone. Some little time ago a peer
age was offered him, bnt he declined it.
The reason was that the surrender
of Parliament just spoken of had been
>artial, namely, adoption of a law
hat each house should have power to
modify the oath administered to its mem
bers. So that, though the House of Com
mons bad modified the Christian charac
ter of the oath in his case, it would re
quire a reopening of the controversy ip
the House of Lords shoulfi he be pro

expedient to raise the issue again just
now. The Jewish peerage question
might await to be settled by some suc
