The New York Times notices some of
the curiosities of yellow fever. At the
Brazilian port of Pernambuco, in 1872,
the ships in the harbor were throwing
their dead overboard by dozens, while
not a case occurred on shore. In Rio de
Janeiro, a few years later, many of the
residents remained in town during the
sickly season. Strange to say, the yel
low fever did not come that year; but
when the people who had gone out of
town returned, almost all of them were
attacked violently by the disease and
many of them died. The Times thinks
the most curious case of all is that of the
Island of Jamaica, where the disease
prevailed for years, but where during
the last half century it has not been
known. Yellow fever is around it on
every side, in Cuba and in San Domingo,
but in Jamaica it is unknown.
Dr. Reilly, of Memphis, declares the
fever there this year to be much milder
than in 1878, and that not more than 20
per cent of the sick die, whereas last
year 50 per cent of them succumbed.
Statistics, however, do not appear to
back Dr. Reilly up. There have been
145 cases of fever reported this year and
54 deaths, and this undoubtedly shows a
greater mortality than 20 per cent, to the
reported cases. On the other hand only
one person who had the fever in Mem
phis in 1878 has had it again this year*
The Courier-Journal thinks nothing
could be more ridiculous than the spec
tacle of New Yorkers setting themselves
to exclude the Israelites. Whatever may
be the Hebrew’s faults, a society whose
ladies go about leading puppy-dogs by
strings, and whose “young men” affect
the manners of Englishmen, is not the
one to sit in judgment on any part of the
Jiuman family*
The War Between Pern and Chili.
Some days since we received from Mr.
Ramon Salas, Peruvian Consul at this
port, a copy of a “counter-manifesto of
the government of Peru, addressed to
friendly nations in relation to the war
declared against her by Chili.” It is
quite a lengthy production, embracing
thirteen large quarto pages, and is de
voted to giving the reasons why Peru en
tered into the war, and to justifying the
position taken by that country.
These reasons, briefly stated, are as
follows: According to this manifesto,
Chili, for the purpose of replenishing
her exhausted treasury from the abun
dant riches scattered by Providence over
the territory of Bolivia, determined upon
a war of conquest against the last named
State, and seized upon, as a pretext there
for, a question which had arisen between
the Antofagasta Nitrate and Railroad
Stock Company, and the Boliviian Gov
ernment, on account of the moderate
tax of ten cents levied, “in order to put
an end to all existing .differences by
the latter on the exportation of
each quintal of nitrate.” This
question was solely and entirely
one between the Bolivian Government
and the railroad, and was therefore only
subject to the decision of the courts of
Bolivia. Nevertheless, to avoid trouble,
the Bolivian Government agreed to sus
pend collection of the afore mentioned
tax, until the matter could, in accord
ance with a treaty made between Chili
and herself in 1874, be submitted for set
tlement to arbitetion. To this Chili at
first agreed. jBBjperuvian Government
was selected arbitrator, and it
was believed that this arrangement
would put an end to all differences.
Such, however, wa3 not the case. As,
says the manifesto, “Chili, determined
at any cost to break the treaty of 1874
and take possession of a portion of the
Bolivian territory, found a new pretext
in the decree of the government of La
Paz, rescinding the private contract
made with the afore mentioned Anto
fagasta Nitrate and Railroad Company,”
and invaded and forcibly took posses
sion of a portion of the coast territory of
Bolivia.
The manifesto then goes on to relate
how the action of Chili throughout was
illegal, oppressive and in direct violation
of treaties made by her with Bolivia.
Still Peru was anxious to settle all diffi
culties peaceably, she being a friend to
both governments. She made repeated
efforts to compromise the trouble, even
though to do so was at the cost of her
own interests, Chili having, says the
manifesto, proposed to her, if not offici
ally, at least by persons of very high
standing, bases for an ignominious settle
ment—which Peru indignantly rejected.
One of these was to divide Bolivia be
tween Chili, Peru, the Argentine Repub
lic and Brazil, making of her, according
to the language used, an American Po
land ; and another for Chili’s remaining
with the Bolivian coast, Peru ceding to
Bolivia Iquique and Arica and receiving
in compensation the Ecuadorian province
of Guayaquil.
Finally, after making every effort pos
sible to avert war, and endeavoring to
induce Chili to recede from her illegal
position, and finding it impossible longer
to maintain her neutrality, Peru, in or
der to preserve the equilibrium between
the South American governments, de
clared herself openly in favor of the
position assumed by Bolivia, which act
induced Chili to declare war against her.
“Had Chili,” says the manifesto in
conclusion, “not occupied the Bolivian
territory, invoking the absurd doctrine
of revindication, which violates the uti
possidetis of 1810 and threatens the terri
torial integrity of the nations of South
America; had she not cherished the in
tention of taking possession, by force of
arms, of what never had belonged to
her; if, inspired by the dictates of a
sound judgment, she had concentrated
her efforts to procure by the employment
of proper measures, the interpretation
given by her to article four of the treaty
of 1874, regarding a question subject to
the jurisdiction of the Bolivian courts,
assuredly Peru would have had no
right to interfere in the contest,
for so long as no offense was offered to
the integrity of the Bolivian territory
there would not have occurred the causes
faderis, and she would have remained
neutral, endeavoring to prevent the war
and the interruption of friendly relations
between the two countries.” Inasmuch,
however, as Chili was guilty of all these
charges, the Peruvian Government ac
cepted the gage of battle offered her,
and now, “relying upon her ally, the
noble republic of Bolivia, on the en
thusiasm of her sons, and the proven
valor of her army and navy, cherishes
the conviction that she will severely pun
ish her gratuitous enemy.”
This is the substance of the manifesto
before us. "We do not publish it in full
because it is very long, and, while it
might convey much interesting informa
tion regarding the struggle at present
going on in South America, still it would
not prove of sufficient interest to our
readers to justify our devoting to it so
much space. It is needless to remark
that in it only the Peruvian side of the
question is presented. No doubt the
“manifesto” from Chili would present
the case in a light much more favorable
to that government.
The Luray Cavern.—Stalactites and
stalagmites from the Luray Cavern, in
Virginia, are now on exhibition at Tiffa
ny’s, New York, and attract a good deal
of attention. These specimens are hol
low, and are said to illustrate exactly
how subteirane&n cavities, like that of
Luray and the Mammoth Cave, are
formed. The carbonate of lime forms a
solid crust over the waters of some pre
historic lake, and the subsequent subsi
dence of the water leaves the cavern
with all its arches and pillars intact. A
cavern, in other words, is only a large
stalagmite, hollow, and emptied of the
water which it originally contained.
The campaign in Ohio seems to have
veered around considerably, and the fight
is now being largely made over the Leg
islature. That body elects a Senator
next year to succeed Thurman, and as
the latter’s political fate hangs on the
Legislature, he and his friends are natu
rally making an earnest fight for it. It
is somewhat more difficult for the Demo
crats to secure the Ohio Legislature than
it is to elect their candidate for Governor.
They seem, however, nowise daunted by
this.
For the past six months there has
been a great increase in the value of real
estate in the vicinity of New York, and
it now commands a better price than it
has for years. Unimproved farm lands,
for instance, at Bergen Point, on the
lower bay, command twenty thousand
dollars an acre.
The Public Deux.—It is given out at
the Treasury Department that the public
debt statement for this month will show
an increase of probably six million dol
lars. This increase is attributed to the
large amount paid out for arrearages of
Senator Beck’s Apology.
Senator Beck’s Bowling Green speech
has evoked high praise from the Demo
cratic press all over the country. The
Albany (N. Y.) Argus, which has been
a leading Democratic organ so long that
the memory of man runneth not to the
contrary, notices it in the following com
plimentary style: “Senator Beck, at
Bowling Green, Kentucky, on Monday,
took occasion to reply to the charge that
he is a ‘revolutionist.’ He quoted the
remarks on which the charge was based,
reviewed the work of the extra session,
and quietly said that in his ‘revolutionary’
remarks he told the truth and guessed
well. He is not, as he said, in the habit
of referring to himself. He begs pardon,
needlessly, for so doing, but thought
that he might take some liberties among
his constituents, * through whose partial
favor he had attained the highest posi
tion a foreign-born citizen can aspire to.’
He speaks of himself and in his own de
fense in a passage so noble and eloquent
that we almost wish some one would
attack him again. Here is his rich and
lofty ‘apology:’ ‘I have studied the
great charter, and have seen in the British
Museum the rude cross marks of the
Barons, with their seals made by impres
sions from the hilts of their swords.
They were unlettered men, but they did
humanity a never-to-be-forgotten service
when they forced their King to covenant
that—
* “No bailiff for the future shall put any
man to his law upon his own simple af
firmation without creditable witnesses
produced for that purpose. No freeman
shall be seized or imprisoned or disseized
or outlawed or in any way destroyed,
nor will we go upon him nor will we
send upon him, except by the legal judg
ment of his peers or the law of the land.
To none will we sell, to none will we
deny, to none will we delay right and
justice.’
“All these great underlying principles
fail if the Radical despotic policy pre
vails. I, a revolutionist, and opposed to
the maintenance of free institutions ! I
would be false to every instinct and aspi
ration I ever felt if I did anything or said
anything that looked like either. I
sprang from a race that has endured
more, suffered more and struggled
longer to maintain their freedom
than any other. I was born in sight
of Adrian’s wall, which the all-conquer
ing Romans had to erect to protect them
selves against a rude but brave people,
who preferred death to subjugation. Hie
stories of all the subsequent struggles of
that people inspired me with an undying
hatred of tyranny and oppression. I have
stood in reverential awe, with head un
covered, in ‘God’s Acre,’ in the old city
of Edinburgh, where the bones of thou
sands of martyrs, who went to the stake
and the gibbet in defense of their right
to maintain and enjoy civil and religious
liberty, lie in undistinguished and undis-
tinguishable graves. I have knelt upon
the stone where the men and women of
Scotland signed the solemn league and
covenant with their o^vn blood. I know
what liberty costs. May my right arm
wither and my tongue cleave to the roof
of my mouth if I ever do an act or utter
a word which tends to subvert any of the
constitutional safeguards which sustain
and protect the liberties of this people.”
Mr. Stephens and the Stalwarts.
Mr. Stephens in hia Atlanta speech
does not ignore the constitutional princi*
pies and popular rights contended for by
the Democracy in the late extra session
of Congress, but treats them as of minor
importance, declaring the paramount
questions before the country to be finance
and taxation. In thus putting the cart
before the horse, giving policy the prece
dence of principle, Mr. Stephens may
have sought to appease the stalwarts and
to place himself upon a platform free
from the ban of sectional prejudice.
But if he had any such expectation he is
doomed to disappointment. Nothing
short of an absolute surrender of both
principle and policy will satisfy the
Radical party. Opposition in any shape
to the principles, policy or supremacy
of the Radical party is hostility
to “the government,” and therefore is
rank treason. It is utter folly to
protest one’s love for the government
and “the grand old American Federal
flag.” Short of a total surrender of every
Democratic principle, every right of self-
government, and an abject submission to
Radical usurpation and misrule, there
is no atonement for the South. The
New York Evening Post, which professes
to be moderate in its stalwart ism, ex
presses the general sentiment of its party.
In an editorial criticising Mr. Stephens’
financial views, that paper says:
“ ‘We love the government,* said Rep
resentative Stephens in Atlanta, Georgia,
yesterday. We are not told that this is
one of the parts of his speech that were
loudly applauded. We hope that it is.
When Southern leaders can truly say
that they love the Government of the
United States, sectionalism ought to be
on its death bed. We should rejoice to
clasp hands with Mr. Stephens across its
dishonored grave and turn with him to
other timely and important questions of
business. He says that the greatest of these
are finance and taxation. True enough;
but, sad to say, when we turn to these
we must drop his hand. Mr. Stephens
has not been numbered among the Bour
bons of the South, but truly he has
learned nothing and forgotten nothing
about the financial question. * * * *
When we find a Southern man seemingly
ready to cut loose from the solid South
on the sectional question, we find him
shut out from us by a solid wall of finan
cial folly.”
The Memphis Pestilence.—CoL
Keating, the editor of the Memphis Ap
peal, who is so well known through the
country for his brave and humane con
duct during the yellow fever epidemic of
last year, arrived in Washington on
Tuesday direct from Memphis, which
place he left on Saturday evening last
He says that he thinks the fever there
has spent its force. The people left in
the city are so few in numlier that it will
be impossible for it to spread. He re
ports the authorities of Memphis as hav
ing the affairs of the city well in hand,
and that they will be able to care for all
without having to appeal for aid from
outside. The cases so far developed, he
says, in no way present the malignant
form the fever did during the epidemic
of last year. He anticipates that within
six weeks business in Memphis will be
going on as usual.
The Yellow Fever and Disinfectants.
The National Board of Health have
issued a circular on disinfection. It
states that it is prudent to assume that
the essential cause of yellow fever is
what may be called “germ.” This
germ flourishes especially in decaying
organic matter or filth, and disinfection
must have reference both to the germ
and that on which it flourishes. Disin
fection, when used as a substitute for
cleanliness, is a poor substitute; it is
mainly useful to make the process of
cleansing odorless and harmless. The
best disinfectants are sulphate of iron,
carbolic acid, fresh quick lime, fresh
charcoal powder, chloride of zinc, chlo
ride of aluminum and permanganate of
potash. The great difficulties in destroy
ing the vitality of the genn of yellow
fever are to bring the disinfecting
agent into actual contact with the
germ, and to avoid injuring other
things, which should be preserved.
When the germ of yellow fever is dry or
partially dried, no gaseous disinfectant
can be relied on to destroy it It must
be moistened or subjected to a dry heat
of not less than 250 degrees. Infected
articles should be removed as little as
possible, when dry. The best methods
of disinfecting rooms, ships, buildings,
etc., are still doubtful, owing to the
difficulty of destroying the vitality of
dried germs. The board proposes to
Lave the subject carefully investigated,
and in the meantime advises thorough
cleansing, to be followed by the fumes
of burning sulphur at the rate of 18
ounces to 1,000 cubic feet to be disin
fected. No patented compound known
to the board is superior to the agents
above mentioned, and none so cheap.
The removal of an unpleasant odor is no
proof that disinfection has been accom
plished. The circular also gives some
sanitary recommendation of a general
character to be carried out in the districts
infected by the fever last year.
A sad example of youthful depravity
among children, scarcely to be excelled
even iu the “barbarous South,” is that of
a boy named William McClellan, who
was picked up in the Bowery, New York,
on Saturday afternoon, helplessly drunk.
The Post says the lad is barely thirteen
years old. In his pockets were found a
quantity of cigars and a huge revolver.
Later in the day it appeared that a rob
bery had been committed a short time
ago at a cigar shop in Montgomery street,
and that McClellan had been the thief.
The revolver was identified as having
been stolen thence by its owner, Dennis
Driscoll; and the wretched boy, whose
career of guilt is not likely to be a long
one, was arraigned on the two-fold charge
of burglary and drunkenness. It is
melancholy, moralizes the Post, to reflect
that tender as are McClellan’s years,
there are criminals in New York more
youthful still, some of the children who
make a trade of attacking ladies and
snatching their pocketbooks and hand
kerchiefs in the upper part of the city,
being actually under ten years of age.
A new refrigerating liquid of great
power, it is said, can be made out of the
lees of beets left after the sugar has
been extracted from them. After the
sugar is taken—and 700,000 tons of beet
sugar are annually produced in Europe—
a good deal of beet molasses is extracted,
from some of which a common sort of
whisky is distilled. The remanent pro
duct in the retorts is burnt and yields
potash, which is used as a fertilizer. This
refuse is now further utilized by pro
ducing from it a gaseous combustible
body, easily liquefied, which has re
ceived the chemical name of chloride
methyL Chloride methyl is useful in the
preparation of aniline colors, but has
been recently discovered to be a superior
refrigerating agent, evaporating so rapid
ly as to cause a temperature of 67 de
grees (Fahrenheit) below zero. This is
28 degrees below the freezing point of
mercury, which, according to Professor
Huxley, may be frozen by the pound by
this means. For the manufacture of ice
this new beet root product promises to
be very useful.
Buenos Ayres is the most flourishing
country in South America. It has a
rapidly increasing immigration from
Europe, maintained by strong lines of-
steamships, and its homestead farm sys
tem, copied from that of the United
States, works very well. “The sequel,”
says the Buenos Ayres Standard, “is not
to be wondered at. We have our staples
growing as fast as our population. A
harvest season comes round, and with
astonishment we discover a surplus crop
of 150,000 tons of wheat against nothing
last year, and which, we suppose, as
things march in this country, will be
doubled next year and quintupled the
yea* after,”
The coinage of standard silver dollars
this month will fall between $500,000
and $700,000 short of the minimum
amount fixed by law—$2,000,000 month
ly. This deficiency, says the Washing
ton Star, will be due to the fact that on
the 1st of the month the stock of silver
bullion at the San Francisco and Carson
city mints was reduced to almost noth
ing; and there was consequently nothing
upon which to commence work. Since
then it has been impossible to procure
bullion for those mints for coinage. At
the Philadelphia and New Orleans mints
there had been up to the 30th of June a
continual round of work, in order to
run the coinage for that month up to the
$2,000,000. From the 1st to the 14th of
the present month those mints did bat
little work, being engaged in making
their annual settlements and in patting
in new machinery and repairing the old.
In order to make up the deficiency in the
coinage for the present month the Phila
delphia mint will be run night and day
during the month of August.
According to the twelfth annual num
ber of Poor’s Railroad .Manual, for the
first time since 1873 the railway interest
of the country shows a very decided re
covery from its recent exceedingly de
pressed condition. The total mileage at
the beginning of this year was 81,841
miles, of which 2,694 miles were opened
during the year preceding December 31,
1878. Tonnage has enormously Incr^sed
in the face of a large falling off in earn
ings, due to great reductions in charges
for transportation. .Within the last de
cade the tonnage of our oldest railroads
has doubled, bat receipts from freights
have not materially increased. Since
1873 the increase in aggregate tonnage
has equalled 50 per cent The gross
earnings last year of railroads reported
are $490,000,000, against $473,000,000 in
1877—the net earnings, $187,500,000,
against $171,000,000 in 1877. This is an
increase of 3£ per cent in gross earnings,
and nearly 10 per cent in net earnings.
This increase is confined to roads run-
in g in the Western and Pacific States.
It is proposed to celebrate this fall the
anniversary of Washington’s great vic
tory over Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown,
October 19,1781. The Courier-Journal
thinks that such a celebration would do
more to unite the North and South than
all the series of centennials which includ
ed Lexington, Concord and Bunker Hill,
for at Yorktown the people of the North
and South could meet together in the
very trenches where they fought each
other in 1862, and, overlooking that late
fraternal strife, carry back their memo
ries to 1781, when they fought, side by
side, for the same cause.
King Cetywayo has generously return
ed the sword worn by the Prince Impe
rial at the time he was killed, with the
massage that perhaps his family might
wish to keep it as a remembrance of the
young Prince. Beast Batter would have
acted differently. .That redoubtable
hero holds that to the victor belongs the
cmAilo rarnnia orvtnna and all.

YELLOW FEVER.
Nine New Cases and Four Deaths
In Memphis:
ONE HUNDRED PEOPLE SENT TO CAMP
MARK'S YESTERDAY.
NEOROES OPPOSED TO BEING
REMOVED.
RIGID QUARANTINE REGULA
TIONS AT CAIRO.
Resolutions Adopted by the New
Orleans Health Board.
Fever Item* from All Point*.
By Telegraph to the Morning Nexcs.
Memphis, July 31,12 m.—Five new cases
of. fever were reported to the Board of
Health this morning, four of which were
colored. Three deaths have occurred—Mi
chael . Athey, brother of Chief of Police
Athey, Brooks Wilson, telegraph operator,
and C. S. Forbes. The latter resides beyond
the corporation line. The wife of Chief of
Police Athey was stricken with fever last
night at Raleigh, Tenn. His daughter Eu-
dora is in a dying condition.
The weather is clear and warm, which is
favorable to the spread of the fever.
A large meeting of colored people was
held here at noon to-day, at Cochran’s Hall,
and resolutions adopted opposing the re
moval of the blacks to camp and express
ing their determination to appeal to absent
merchants for assistance. The sentiment
of the meeting was strongly opposed to the
camp scheme.
Memphis, July 31, 6 p. m.—Foot more
cases were reported to the Board of Health
this afternoon, to wit: James Hester, Jerry
Croden, Rachael Taylor and Mary Taylor.
One additional death has occurred—H. Du-
pratt, residing six miles from the city.
At a meeting of the Howard Association
this afternoon, four physicians were placed
on dnty to attend the indigent sick. About
one hundred poor people went to Camp
Marks to-day. A storm from the southeast
is threatened.
Mobile, July 31.—The report of a case of
yellow fever in Mobile, published In a New
Orleans journal of to-day, is pronounced by
the Board of Health and attending physi
cians to be totally without foundation.
New Orleans, July 31.—The Board of
Health to-night adopted the following:
Whereas, Since the last regular meeting
of the board sporadic yellow fever has
made its appearance in the city, causing in
.the minds of some of our neighboring com
munities undue alarm, inducing them to
enact severe quarantine against us,
without waiting to see if the
spread and growth of fever in our midst
would justify such measures; and whereas,
without reflecting in the least upon the
motives or acts of our friends, or question
ing their rights to establish quarantine, if so
minded, the board congratulates our own
citizens, as well as those of States and places
contiguous to us, upon the favorable aspect
of the weather relating to the fever, and the
unlikelihood of its putting on any serious
or dangerous form, such as an epidemic;
therefore, be'it
Resolved by the Board of Health, That at
present we see no reason for the least alarm
on account of a casual case or a few cases
sporadically exhibited, and express the hope
that our citizens will continue their self
possession and confidence, and that soon
places and cities that have through great
prudence put up their quarantine bars
against us will feel it in their power to take
them down, and allow the business of the
countiy to proceed, when it can do so with
out any real danger to the public health.
The resolution is accompanied by the
official statement of cases to date, as fol
lows: Carrie S. Marregre, 768 Magazine
street, convalescent; Vincennes E. 8pano,
corner Second and Constance streets, died
Jnly 28; Louis Aufret, 105 Bourbon street,
has had black vomit, hut hopes of his re
covery are entertained; Bernhard Berkaon,
died July '31; John Knapp, 123 Seventh
street, still sick, but is reported doing well.
Dr. Choppin, in the course of his remarks
before the board, said sporadic cases here
are hibernated from germs left by the epi
demic last season. Such cases have fol
lowed every epidemic during the past thirty
years. There will be perhaps a few more of
these cases, bat'as no foreign fever poison
has been imported there is no fear of an
epidemic. One caso is reported at the
quarantine station, and two suspicious cases
of children on Washington street.
Chattanooga, July 31.—This city’s quar
antine against New Orleans commences
August 1st. No yellow fever is here, nor is
there any suspicious case of sickness. The
city Is in a good sanitary condition, and
quarantine is rigidly enforced. No out
break of fever is apprehended.
New York, July 31.—Bartholemew Mc
Keon, the fireman of the steamer Merida,
from Havana, died this morning of yellow
fever at the quarantine hospital. A. F.
Reith, barber of the steamer Saratoga, died
of the fever at the same place last night.
Only one patient now remains in the hos
pital.
Cairo, July 31.—The local Board of
Health to-day passed a resolution that all
persons entering the city be required to pro
duce a certificate that they have not been in
a fever infected district within fifteen days.
Steamers from the South will be permitted to
land only at the Vincennes Railroad wharf,
at the northern limit of the city, to transfer
through passengers. Steamers from above
will be prohibited from landing if less than
eight days from an infected district. The
transfer of through passengers from the
trains will he made at the Vincennes Rail
road incline, two miles up the Ohio. The
health of the«ity is good.
The following is self-explanatory:
“As a matter of precaution, all northward
bound travelers would do well to provide
themselves with medical certificates,whether
the locality from whence they come is in
fected with yellow fever or not.
“[Signed] John H. Roach,
“Secretary of Sanitary Council, Mississippi
Valley.”
-JEHU. LEGISLATURE.
The l$ew Capitol Question Before
Both Houses.
NUMEROUS BILLS INTRODUCED
AND DISCUSSED.
Camming offered a substitute appointing
wardens to regulate convict camps, and he
spoke ably in favor of the substitute. He
denied that lessees had vested rights, but
supposed his substitute, all things consid
ered, more just than a bill abolishing the
lease. Mr. Preston epoke against the lease
system, and said it must bfe remedied in
some way. Mr. Bryan also spoke against
tiie system of Mr. Boyd, opposed using con
victs, and 1 spoke in favor of the bill, of
which he was the author. He gave some
startling facts as to cruelty to convicts. The
Senate seems at sea on this question. An
alteration in the present system is certain.
Pending a discussion to allow the Com
mittee on Education to attend the Univer
sity commencement at Athens, the Senate
adjourned.
In the House,Mr. Humber moved to recon
sider the lost bill to establish the Middle
Georgia Agricultural College at Milledge-
ville. The friends of the bill favored recon
sideration that they may perfect the bill so
as to free it from constitutional objections.
Messrs. Miller and Mathews opposed it, and
Messrs. Colley, Mynatt, King, Hulsey and
Harris favored it. Mr. Awtey opposed any
bill to tax property for the support of
schools.
The bill incorporating the Hartwell Rail
road was passed.
The bill authorizing the lease of the
Macon and Brunswick Railroad at a mini
mum of fifty thousand dollars a year was
read a second time and made the special
order for Thursday next.
The following bills were read a third time
and passed:
To authorize counties to inaugurate and
maintain a system of drainage.
To exempt from jury duty regularly
licensed pharmaceutists and druggists. This
bill passed with an amendment of the com
mittee exempting as well ministers, millers,
school teachers, telegraph operators and
employes of railroad*.
To fix the fees of Justices of the Peace
and Notaries Public in cases of appeal in
Justices courts.
To authorize the issue of interest bearing
bonds by the Mayor and Council of Macon.
Mr. PolhiU, of Jefferson, moved to sus
pend the roles for the purpose of taking np
the joint committee resolution in regard to
the capitol proposition of Atlanta. The
motion and the resolution were unanimously
agreed to. Mr. Adams, of Chatham, moved
that the, resolutions be amende ! by a proviso
that the city of Atlanta relinquish the mort
gage to the present capitol building before
this agreement is consummated. The
amendment was lost. . - \
The bell punch bill is the special order for
to-morrow. The committee have reported
against its passage.
The Senate will probably discuss the peni
tentiary bill at length to-morrow.
Hon. Alexander Stephens went to Athens
this afternoon.
The Wild Land Investigating Committee
are hard at work in secret. There are rumors
that much anxiety is felt as to the develop
ments to be made.

MANIFESTO FROM THE COMTE DE CHAMBORD.
Paris, July 31.—The Comte de Cham
bord has written to the Marquis de Forest!,
of Marseilles.-expressing thanks for mani
festations in his favor on the occasion of
the Feast of St. Henry. In a letter, which is
a kind of manifesto, Comte de Chambord
refutes the charge of voluntarily
declining to avail himself of a
former remarkable opportunity of as
cending the throne. He reserves
for the future the task of casting a full
light upon the events of 1873, and adds,
“that a return to the traditional monarchy
harmonized with the aspirations of the ma
jority. Workmen, artisan and laborer,
looked forward to the peaceable en
joyment of life and industry, under
the paternal authority of the head
of a family whose ge tie sway has been
known to so many generations. The coun
try expected a King, but political intrigues
had determined that the country should
have a Mayor of a palace. If in the presence
of attentive Europe, and ou a morrow
of indescribable disaster I showed
greater care, for my royal dignity, and
the grandeur of my mission, it was
in order that I might remain faithful to my
oath never to become King of a faction or
a party. I will not submit to the guardian
ship of men of factions, but shall not cease
to appeal to all honest men for support.
Armed with the force and with, the grace of
God, I can save France. It Is my duty and
my desire to do so.”
THE FRENCH CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.

THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT AND THE ZULU
WAR EXPENDITURES.
London, July 31.—In the House of Com
mons to-day the Chancellor of the Ex

posed to ask a vote of three million pounds,
on account of the expenses of the war in
South Africa, which sum, if not sufficient,
would at all events suffice until the next
session of Parliament The new credit
thus asked for will raise the expenditure
for the Zulu war to £4,500,000. The Chan
cellor of Exchequer stated that the new
credit would transform the surplus estima
ted at the introduction of the budget into a
deficit of £1,163,000. He said the govern
ment hopes to recover this sum from the
South African colonies, at»d would ask the
authorities to raise the remainder by ex
chequer bonds. ®

lleved the lessees bad vested rights. Mr,
Havana, July 31.—In reply to questions
of the Cuban representative in the Spanish
Cortes the Colonial Minister has recently
statedthat export duties on sugar cannot
be abolished, since they afford an easy and
safe income for the exhausted treasury of
the island, and are compensated for by al
most a total abolition of indirect taxes on
plantations. He said, also, that importa
tion of genuine Costa Rica tobacco would
not be prohibited, but all means would be

salaries stopped.
