TAPPINO THE IVIUE».
A dispatch from Los Pinos has been re
ceived at Washington to the effect that the
White River Utes are on their way to the

plish its object. A second dispatch, how
ever, states that the hostiles are arming,
and have already planned a campaign, and
that the commission Is barricaded in antici-

it for two hundred thousand dollars, and
asked for a receiver.
Curry’s trial has been again postponed in
Texas until April because of the absence of

unavoidably postponed for some time.
The local board of United States Inspec
tors, who have been examining into the
Champion collision, have brought in a re
port blaming the first mate of the Cham

onerating the officers of the Lady Octavia,
but giving them credit for the prompt man
ner in which they went to the rescue of the
passengers and crew of the unfortunate
steamer.
The St. Petersburg Golos publishes a
lengthy editorial showing a marked change

The proposed consolidation of the beer
brewing industry in Cincinnati may fail
through the difficulty of satisfying each
member in the appraisement of the
breweries. If it does fail the five largest
brewers will combine, and expect to be able
to control the business.
Two men, A. Eilers and W. Schneider,
were arrested in Richmond Tuesday night
for attempting to negotiate fraudulent drafts
on M. Kramer, of Hamburg, Germany,

The statement furnished by the Chief of
the Bureau of Statistics shows that the ex
cess of exports over imports from this coun
try during the months of September and
October was $61,27S,000, against $48,860,000
at the same time last year, and for the
month of October last the exports were
greater than they have ever been in any
month in the history of the country. The
excess of imports over exports of coin from
July 1st to November 22d amounted to more
than $05,000,000.
The case of M. A. Dauphin vs. the Post
master General, in which the complainant
seeks an injunction to restrain the enforce
ment of the recent order in regard to
lotteries, came up yesterday in Washington
before Chief Justice Cartter, of the District
Supreme Court. He remanded the case to
the Equity Court, where the proceedings
originated. Counsel for the complainant
subsequently obtained an order certifying
the case to the Supreme Court at general
term, where it will be tried next Thursday.
In the Kellogg-Spofford investigation at
New' Orleans -yesterday, several witnesses
were examined. Charles Sahel, chief clerk
of the returning board, stated that he had
never seen Kellogg in secret session with
the board. Vincent Dickenson, member of
the Packard Legislature, denied that he had
been bribed to vote for Kellogg. George A
J. Swazery, member of the Packard Legisla
ture from West Feliciana, confessed that
he had been defeated by four hundred
majority by his Democratic opponent, but
he said he was counted in, and would have
been elected but for bulldozing in his parish
He admitted, on cross-examination, that he
had been charged with murder, and was re
garded as a bad man, but he would not ad
mit the truth of the charges. Several other
witnesses were examined.
The excitement over the arrest of the
Irish agitators continues. The town

Mr. Bergh is carrying his idea of pro
tecting animals against cruelty a little too
far to suit the American people. His
last exploit was the prosecution of a fish
monger for killing a strange cat that en
tered his premises. The man caught the
cat in the act of stealing his fish, and
with one blow of a knife he cut the ani
mal nearly in two. A fuss was made by
the owner of the cat, and Bergh entered
a charge of cruelty and prosecuted the
man, who was sentenced to imprison
ment for one month. It seems that the
fishmonger has a large family dependent
upon his daily exertions for their sup
port, and his imprisonment has not only
cut off their suppi} T of bread, but has left
them in need. This state of facts-has
aroused a good deal of public indignation
against Mr. Bergh, who is accused of
holding “the life of a thieving cat” as of
more importance than the fishmonger’s
family.
A statement is goiDg the rounds that
Mr. Hewitt expended over $200,000 of
his own money in the conduct of the
Presidential campaign of Mr. Tilden,
which Mr. Tilden had placed in his
charge with instructions to spend what
ever sums were needlul. After Mr.
Hayes was inaugurated Mr. Tilden, it is
alleged, reluctantly paid over about
$50,000, but declined further to reim
burse Mr. Hewitt, who is now out by
the operation upward of $100,000.
Ex-Senator Clingman, of North Caro
lina, has broken out in an interview of
something like a column in Saturday’s
New York Herald. Apart from his epi
grams, parables and references to his own
past career, the interview is mainly
notable for the statement that a large
majority of the Southern people would
be willing to enter into a fair and liberal
new national organization. But he says
they are like the man who decided not
to cross the bridge until he got to it.
There is a great deal of effort expended

tions in the North prove conclusively
that such efforts are not appreciated
in that section. To the contrary,
the fact that State after State voted
for centralization and political en
slavement, notwithstanding that the
issue between Democracy and Radi
calism had been clearly defined by the
extra session, the former parly stand
ing out boldly before the country as the
exponent and champion of republican
freedom, while the latter was equally the
avowed friend of a strong government
tending towards imperialism, shows that
the Northern masses are blinded to every
thing by sectional hate. Because, there
fore, the South is solid for good govern
ment and against Radicalism, the North
is, if not entirely, almost solid against the
South.
In view of the spirit thus manifested
towards the South, and the evident de
termination on the part of the Northern
masses that she shall never, if they can
prevent it, assume her proper place as
the peer of any section ot the Union, it
has been gravely hinted in certain quar
ters that the South should forestall
her enemies and give an earn
est support to Grant. In other
w’ords, that the South should advocate the
establishment of an Empire, on the
ground that her rights would more likely
receive better consideration, and she
would, in every way, be in better plight
under an Emperor or King than under a
sectional President, the' representative
and personification of sectional hate.
This suggestion to the South, it is
needless to remark, is so absurd, and
will meet with such unanimous and in
dignant rejection by the Southern peo
ple, that it is hardly worthy of serious
discussion. The South can never hope
to gain civil and political liberty by the
surrender of all liberty and yielding up
the freedom her people have inherited
from their forefathers to become the sub
jects and serls of a King or Emperor.
Her only hope for future greatness and
power lies not in yielding up her liber
ties, but in continuing to strive manfully
for her rights, and for constitutional free
dom, while improving to the utmost the
advantages with which she has been so
liberally endowed by a benificent Provi
dencc.
In our opinion, then, the only true
policy for the South to pursue is for her
people to remain steadfastly and un
waveringly true to the principles of this
republic and the United States Constitu
tion, and labor to render themselves not
only independent but wealthy. No peo
ple in the world are blessed with greater
facilities for attaining wealth and pros
perity than are those of the
South. She can produce every
thing needed for home consumption,
she possesses unrivalled manufacturing
resources, and besides her rice, sugar and
tobacco — each one of them in itself
a mine of wealth—she produces the great
staple now more than ever recognized
king of the commercial world.
Let the Southern people but live within
their means and improve their advan
tages; let the Southern farmer produce
his farm supplies at home, or, if he must
buy, purchase in his immediate section
let Southern men accumulate means,
establish factories and manufactories
of all kinds with Southern capital, and
then the entire country will be forced to
acknowledge our commercial importance,
and instead of as heretofore having to
pay back to New England and the West
the money which they have paid to her
for cotton, etc., the South will be enabled
herself to eojoy the profits to be derived
from her invaluable productions. A so
lidity on this basis would, so far from
creating towards her feelings of hate, se
cure her the most respectful considera
tion and indeed the homage of the coun
try and the world.
Our advice to the Southern people,
therefore, can be summed up m a few
words: First, remain true to the nation
al Democracy, our onl}^ friends and the
only guarantee the country possesses for
a perpetuation of our free government;
and second, improve your vast resources
and “Put money in thy purse.
eminent into the hands of the Liberals
and Sagastists in order to carry the
measure through. The bill, which was
introduced in the Cortes on November 5
by the Colonial Secretary, is a sweeping
one, but apparently not unfair. It pro
vides that on and after the day of the
promulgation of the law in the official
gazette of the island of Cuba “the insti-
tion of slavery shall cease.” Owners
become overseers, and slaves shall
remain “under their protection’
for the term of eight years, under a regu
lar contract. The laborers are bound for
this term to their overseers; the overseers
are bound to the freedmen to support and
clothe them, to care for them when sick,
to pay them monthly wages, to provide
primary education for minors and give
them facilities for learning trades, and to
take care of the children, whether born be
fore or after emancipation. No families
are to be separated under any circums
tances, and the wages are to range from
$1 to $2 50 and $3, according to age and
period of service, with higher rates pro
vided for in special contracts. Various
provisions are made for the protection
of freedmen under contracts, and for
the extinction of the contracts in certain
contingencies. It is further provided
that after the fifth year one-fourth of the
adult freedmen shall be set free from the
contracts by the drawing of lots, another
one fourth the sixth year, and so on un
til all are discharged from service. The
freedmen thus set free are put under the
protection of the law, but unless the}'
find work and homes for themselves are
to become amenable to the provisions of
the vagrant act, which exacts of all
offenders service in the army or upon
the public works. Freedmen may be
fined, but are not to be subjected to
corporeal punishment. This act is sup
plementary to and in completion of that
of June 4, 1870, which was one of partial
emancipation, and its provisions seem to
be at once politic and humane.

Parnell’s American Lineage.
Editor Morniny News : Are not the ini
tials “C. S.” of Mr. Parnell, the present
Irish leader, abbreviations for “Charles
Stewart?” and is he not a grandson of the
gallant and distinguished Commodore
Charles Stewart, of the United States
Navy, Senior Flag Officer at the break
ing out of our civil war, whose daughter
married Henry Parnell, of Ireland? If
so, he has a worthy American as well as
Irish lineage.
Commodore Stewart was the first
American naval officer to demand the re
lease of an American seaman impressed
into the British Navy, and received him
from the frigate Siam, into which he had
been forced.
With Bainbridge, Commodore Stewart
protested against and reversed the timid
policy of Mr. Madison’s administration,
that, dreading the naval power of Eng
land, would have shut up our vessels in
our ports for harbor defense; and so
opened to our navy the way to renown
upon the seas.
It was Commodore Stewart who, in
the Constitution, captured the Cyaneand
Levant, and by gallantly and skillfully
discharging his duties in other contests,
and in other scenes, illustrated American
character and helped to fill the measure
>f his country’s glory. If Commodore
Stewart was Parnell’s grandfather, the
latter, on his mother’s side, can boast,
too. of the ancient Tudor blood of Mas
sachusetts.
If good descent and gallant deeds are
guarantees of character, the Irish people
may well be proud of their young leader,
aud anticipate under his guidance a suc
cessful constitutional contest that will
place them upon an equal footing with
Englishmen in all matters, civil, political
and religious.
Meanwhile, we must feed them this
winter, and not let them starve. U. S.
The Anti-Cornell Republicans not
for Grant.—The anti-Cornell Republi
cans of New York city, called the
“young scratchers” by the “machine
Republicans, have issued an address to
Independent Republicans wherein they
say: “The Republican candidate for
Governor of New York has been elected
by nearly 40,000 plurality, thanks to
about 75,000 votes for the Tammany
candidate. Without that help Mr. Cor
nell would have been defeated by above
30,000 votes. He has run behind the
ticket 3,000 in New York city, 2,837 in
Brooklyn, and correspondingly in nearly
every part of the State, it Is probable
that at least 20,000 Republicans rejected
Mr. Cornell. The balance of power in
the State which will give the casting vote
of 1880 resides, it is proved, with the In
dependent voters, and the * Strong Man ’
needed to carry New York is a candi
date who will attract, and not repel, Re
publicans of conscience, intelligence and
memory.” The address should possess
some interest for Grantites, especially the
last sentence quoted.
It is very evident, says the Bridgeport
Farmer, that the Republicans have de
vised some scheme for taking the control
of the next electoral count from Congress
and for vesting it in some tribunal which
will count in the Republican candidates,
regardless of the actual vote of the peo
ple, and that they intend to introduce
the scheme into Congress at its coming
session, under the disguise of a measure
purporting to ensure an honest count by
a method satisfactory to both parties.
The concoction of this scheme explains
the seeming apprehension of a dishonest
count, and the threat of a civil war.
They are endeavoring to frighten the
people into forcing the Democratic Con
gressional majority to adopt the Repub
lican scheme. It “won’t pan out worth
a cent.”
Grant’s Bid for the Solid South.
A Louisville Courier-Journal correspond
ent had a conversation with Gen. Grant,
at Chicago, in which the General said :
You may tell the Courier Journal,
and through it the people of the South,
that in whatever position I may in future
be placed, that while always determined
to support the National Union, I am for
those and only those things which will
allay all bitterness of the past—all sec
tional animosities—and those which will
make us a united great people, such as
we are now really believed to be by, the
Declines to be Interviewed.
Governor Holliday, of Virginia, de
clines to be interviewed relative to cur
rent matters of interest in his State. In
reply to a representative of the Phila
delphia Record, who desired an expres
sion of his views as to the probable re
sults of the late election upon the validity
of the Virginia debt, he stated that
he had never consented to be in
terviewed upon any public matters.
He continued: “When my views are
desired I always have appeared over my
own name. As to my official acts or
opinions, they ought only to be given in
official papers. I state thus much that
you may know that my action is only in
accordance with my established rule.”
In thus declining to submit himself to
the manipulations of the Bohemian
pump, Governor Holliday sets an ex
ample eminently worthy of imitation by
public men. In the better days of the
republic such men as Calhoun, Clay and
Webster uttered their own opinions and
were responsible for their utterances.
The}' would have scorned to have their
political opinions smuggled before the
country through the medium of irie
sponsible sensation mongers, to be after
wards affirmed or repudiated accordingly
as they met with public favor or disap
proval.
The Texas Pacific Railroad.—The
Board of Directors of the Texas Pacific
Railroad met in Philadelphia on Satur
day last, and considered matters of in
terest to the company. The statement
that Col. Scott would on that day sign a
contract for the extension of the road to
Fort Worth, a distance of seven hundred
and fifty miles, was not verified. Ex-Gov.
Brown, Vice President, said, regarding
such a contract, that negotiations looking
to the building of the road to El Paso, a
distance of six hundred miles, and its
possible extension to Fort Worth, have
been in progress for some time, but there
was nothing at present to warrant the
immediate execution of such a contract.
Propositions had been made to the board
in this matter, but until a satisfactory
arrangement could be agreed upon noth
ing would be done. Mr. Brown added
that four hundred and forty-four miles
of the road were in successful operation.

While the Grant boom is developing a
disgusting spirit of toadyism and man-
worshiping servility that should bring a
blush to every American cheek, it is
also arousing thoughtful men of all
parties and all sectious to a sober con
templation of the true issue to be decided
at the next Presidential election, which
is whether this country shall remain a
constitutional republic or become a
military despotism?
The Richmond (Va.) State does not be
lieve that Georgia is for Grant, and it
says, further: “All these professions
from the South of a desire for Grant on
the part of the Democrats are hypocriti
cal, and this Union can never be cement
ed or the people pacificated by the arts
of the hypocrite.” The Richmond State
is right.
A Clergyman’s View of the Exo
dus.—Rev. C. K. Marshall, of Mississip
pi, an eminent Methodist clergyman, now
in Washington, is quoted as saying that
many thoughtful Southerners think that
it is best for their section that the negro
exedus should go on uninterruptedly,
and that it would be wise to aid it by all
means that are humane and honorable.
The theory is that the negro demoralizes
politics, and that he is vastly inferior as
a laborer to the white immigrants who
have gone into the Southwest. The lat
ter frequently leave and return North,
because their earnings are stolen as fast
as made by the thriftless negroes. If the
latter would emigrate in large numbers,
it is believed that their places would bo
promptly supplied by intelligent and in
dustrious white labor.
The Cincinnati Commercial thinks
Senator Bayard sawed the limb off be
tween himself and the tree when he said
that 4 ‘he never had spent any money to
obtain an office, and that he never would
spend any for that purpose.”
Diphtheria prevails to an alarming ex
tent in various parts of Pennsylvania,
particularly in Lancaster, Crawford, Mc
Kean and Butler counties. In portions
of Butler and Crawford the public
schools have been closed in consequence
of it. The local editor of the Lancaster
Acirtf has lost his entire family—wife and
children—from the fell disease. The
Johnstown Tribune announced the death
from diphtheria of the wife and three
children (all) of Mr. Wm. Grady, of Mor-
relville. A like case is reported from Pitts
burg. In the country diphtheria is more
likely to sweep off an entire family than
in large cities. In cities where the board
of health performs its duty the premises
are examined by experts after the first
death, and the cause of the disease is
frequently discovered and removed. In
the country an old drain, a stagnant
duck pond, a well or a spring, poisoned
by matter from a barn-yard, will remain
unsuspected to the last.
A Sisterly Defense.—The New
York Tribune having indulged its pro
pensity for malicious slander by the
use of 4 ‘libelous expressions” in reference
to Mr. Parnell, the distinguished Irish
leader, a sister of that gentleman comes
to his defense in the following card, ad
dressed to the editor of the Tidbune:
Sir—It is not necessary in commentr
ing on the actions of a stranger in a
country on the other side of the Atlantic
to use libelous expressions. In your
editorial of to-day you say that 3Ir.
Charles Parnell “smiles significantly”
when an occasional peasant cries out tor
shooting landlords. As his sister, well
acquainted with Mr. Parnell’s character
and views, and a student of his speeches,
and not alone of mendacious cables from
London, I denounce your assertion as an
impudent falsehood and libel. Yours,
obediently, F. Parnell.
New York City, November 22, 1879.
General Hartranft Vindicating
Himself.—General Hartranft, of Penn
sylvania, has been interviewed by the
Washington Post in regard to the execu
tion of Mrs. Surratt. He says, according
to the Post's interview, that he had im
mediate charge of the prisoner, and that
he afterwards “received letters from
Mrs. Surratt’s daughter and friends ex
pressing gratitude for the manner
which he and his officers performed their
(lisagreeble duties;” that the charge that
Mrs. Surratt was denied the benefit of
clergy in her last moments has been
effectually disproved. Gen. Hartranft
says he hoped for, but hardly expected,
a reprieve for Mrs. Surratt, apd that ar
rangements were made to immediately
transmit the intelligence in case such ac
tion was taken.
coYd, but superbly lovely. The half-full
moon, in the declining west, attended by
the planet Jupiter in conjunction, like a
Princess with her maid of honor, shone
with a calm, serene light th&t mocked
the sepulchral sheen of the calcium
lamps and the angry blast of the electric
spark. Over the dome of the capitol, in
the depths of the ether that gleamed
with azure tints in the star-shine,
the belt of Orion glittered and
sparkled like diamonds on the breast
of beauty. Overhead the “red planet
Mars” blazed in fiery glow, and the Dogs
flashed from the eastern horizon an an
swering menace. From the western ter
race of the capitol the lamps in the city,
especially those in the gardens and the
mall, gleamed like “pomegranates swung
in golden censers,” enchanting the eye
with their glories of glitter and gloom.
Although the published programme di
rected the entrance to be through the
east door of the Senate, it was found
in late afternoon that this had been coun
termanded and ingress was only to be
obtained through the mam entrance of
the House. At ten o’clock the House
steps were packed almost to the bottom
tier with people struggling for admis
sion. The circular sweep of the grounds,
to the east, was bordered with a double
row of carriages containing their precious
freight, which was being delivered with
the utmost dispatch. Mr. and Mrs.
Hayes and party arrived a little after
ten, and it was with much difficulty that
a way was made for them through that
solid column of humanity up to the door.
But patience worketh all things at last,
and at last the coveted admission was
gained. Here from the gleam of the
stars outside to the glare of the gas with
in the eye had to pause ere it could take
in the situation. Thousands of persons,
old and young, brune and blonde and
between, arrayed in all styles, from the
full dress of the evening aristocrat to the
comfortable coat of the business man,
crowded the corridors on their way to
the old hall of Representatives and the
rotunda. To cast one’s self into that
swiftly flowing stream of humanity was
to leap headlong into the current of a
mighty river and swim for dear life. If
you did not drown and could keep your
head above water the stream was sure to
land you safe at last. And it flowed
around the island of the old hall, from
whose gallery the music of the Marine
Band woke the dim echoes and seemed
to call attention to the novelty as well as
to the surpassing splendor of the scene.
For the scene was indeed splendid,
both in accompaniment and in associa
tion. For the first time in the history
of the country a ball was given in the
capitol of the nation, and the marble
halls that hitherto had resounded only to
martial music, or to fevered eloquence,
were to repeat the echoes of “Lydian
strains,” and the pattering of soft feet in
the mazy measures of the dance. To
one standing in the arch of the rock
ribbed doorway it was impossible not
to have brought up in mental review
host of memories that woke up
heroic mood. There was some
thing in the picture presented that
stirred the blood like a bugle call. All
around stood the white statues of great
men, who lived but in memory and in
marble, but whose mighty souls in the
past had made such scenes of revelry
possible to their posterity. It seemed, in
deed, out of place and incongruous, the
mingling of white statues, cold, impas
sive, gigantic, with the living, breathing,
joy-inspired forms that moved restlessly
in and out between the pedestals of the
sculpture. What in common had
the grim marble representative of
the older day, who gleamed in
his gray reality like a soul sculp
tured in stone, still breathing, still throb
bing, still vibrating with the pulses of a
mighty life, with the bright eyed, light
hearted girl whose jeweled fingers rested
upon his stony sandals, or the slender
the wed escort beside her who sought to
throw off the spell of the statue by the
renewed levity and gayety of his talk?
The music woke echoes in the old hall,
but the imagination half fancied they
were the mutterings of the statues, half-
waked from their dreams of the past to
a misty consciousness of the gay, gliding
present.
If such thoughts as these came to the
fanciful and the dreamer, be sure there
were thousands in the building this night
of mirth who took no note of the sculp
tured marbles, unless it might be to re
mark how prettily would the white brows
look if bound in garlands and wreaths of
flowers. For the crowds that passed in
and out of the old hall, the sparkling
waves of a river refluent to overflowing,
were revelers, indeed, this night. It was
hard to pick out those you knew, so great
were the crowds; it was harder still to
find any wave or foam-cap differing from
another in the gleam and the sparkle of
mirth. So, happy for the once, at least,
full of the careless grace born only of
youth or pleasure, and which sits as well
on the brows of Age as on the locks of
Youth, the river of joy passed on. From
the old Hall of Representatives
thresh the narrow straits that lead to
the rotunda you might pass with the
throng. Once in the rotunda you were
impressed with the magnitude of a
crowd, and humiliated by the insignifi
cance of the individual. For the crowd
was all in this vast room, and the indi
vidual was dwarfed. It was crowded.
It was packed. There was not room to
promenade, nor even to elbow your way
through the dense throng. You could
not stand still nor go to one side. You
had literally to drift with the tide. There
never before was such an overwhelming
crowd in this rotunda at once, not even
in the exciting times of the war. And
yet no one complained or expressed any
sense of discomfort. Everybody was
happy, everybody seemed determined to
make everybody else happy.
There were no decorations in the capi
tol, but the glittering light of a thousand
gas jets and the historic associations of
the building were decorations enough.
In such a crowd there could be no room
for dancing, but as the night wore on
later and vast numbers of them had
tlepaited, the dancers had an opportunity
to indulse in their favorite amusement.
The rotunda is eminently fit for dancing,
and many of the “gay gliders" enjoyed
themselves the more, because they had
never danced there before.

Atlanta, November 26.—J. C. Bridger, a
ooal dealer, and B. A. Mullins, a saloon
[ keeper, bad a difficulty this morning abont
the gate between their places of business
Mullins hit Bridger in the mouth with a
hammer, cutting his lip and knocking out
several teeth. Bridger then struck
Mullins on the head with a hatchet, frac
turing his skull and inflicting what will
probably prove a mortal wound. Bridger
married a Miss Thrasher in Florida, a few
months ago, and is considered a quiet,
peaceable man, who acted only in self-
defense. He is now under arrest, as Mul- (
lins is thought to be in a dying condition.

THE KELLOGG-SPOFFORD CASE.
New Orleans, November 26.—Before the
Congressional sub committee to-day Charles
Sabel, formerly chief clerk of the returning
board, in testifying with regard to the pro
ceedings of that body, said he never saw
Kellogg in the secret sessions of the hoard.
Vincent Dickinson, member of the Pack
ard Legislature, denied having bee*.
B romised or paid anything for voting for
Kellogg, but said an attempt was made by
Tom Murray to get him to say he had.
George A. J. Swazery, member of the
Packard Legislature from West Feliciana,
testified that he received about eight hundred
votes to his Democratic opponent’s twelve
hundred. He was nevertheless declared
elected by the returning board. General
and systematic bulldozing was carried on in
that parisla in 1876. Colored people were
murdered aud whipped on account of their
political opinions, and were forced to vote
the Demccratic ticket. Even his own rela
tives were not allowed to vote for him. If
there had been no bulldozing the Republi
cans would have had a majority in his parish
of nine hundred. This witness testified at
great length to the outrages committed by
the whites, and referred to the killing of
Weber and another Republican who return
ed to the parish after the election. With
regard to the alleged tampering of Kellogg
with Spofford’s witnesses he said he knew
DeLacy did not go to Kellogg’s room the
night he leached Washington, and he didn’t
believe any of Spofford’s witnesses went
there. The witness himself never received
money or any other inducements to vote for
Kellogg.
When cross examined by Senator Hill
the witness admitted that he had been
charged with murdering respectable citizens
in West Feliciana parish, but the Senator
could not get blm to admit that this charge
of murder was true, and that his readiness
to fight caused the people there to class
him as a bad man and not to desire his re
turn. The witness insisted that the objec
tion to him was on account of politics.
Several other witnesses were examined,
among them Aristides DeJoie, who denied
receiving money to vote for Kellogg; Jeff.
Stokes, a porter in the Packard Legislature,
who testified to the presence of Thomas, of
Brossier parish, on the day of Kellogg’s
election; and Gen. Thos. C. Anderson, who
denies the truth of the statements concern
ing him made by Bernard Williams.
CONTINUED EXCITEMENT OVER TUB IRISII
ARRESTS.
Sligo, November 26.—The town was on
the verge of a riot last night and the police
had to clear the streets. They made several
arrests. Davitt has telegraphed to New
castle that he will keep his engagement to
speak there Sunday and Monday, and
that he will attend to the monster
meeting at Glasgow. Last evening a
police patrol was stoned and four
arrests were made. Later in the evening
Davitt was serenaded by two bands. The
police paraded the streets here this morn
ing. Further reinforcements have arrived,
and no fresh disturbances have occurred.
It is thought that the government intends
to remove the prisoners to Dublin
for trial Instead of trying them at the
county assizes. A larger number of Magis
trates a-e on the bench to-day than hitherto.
Kiilen’s examination is proceeding. Davitt
and Daley are present as spectators.
THE LOTTERY WAR. —
Washington, November 26.—The case of
M. A. Dauphin vs. the Postmaster General,
in which the complainant seeks an injunc
tion to restrain the enforcement of the re
cent order of the Post Office Department
with regard to lottery letters, came up in the
Supreme Court of the District to-day. Chief
Justice Cartter said that the court had deci
ded to remand the case to the Equity Court,
where the proceedings were originally in
stituted, and where a proper order would be
made. The case would then, he said, come
up regularly to court, and if the parties in
terested should desire to carry it to the
United States Supreme Court, the District.
Supreme Court, in general term, would
expedite it as far as possible. Subsequent
ly, counsel for the complainant obtained an
order In the Equity Court, certifying the
case to the Supreme Court at the general
term, and fixing Thursday of next week for
a hearing.

Richmond, Va., November 26.—Two men,
named A. Eilere and W. Schneider, were
arrested here by the police last night for
attempting to negotiate worthless and
fraudulent drafts, drawn by M. Kramer, of
Hamburg, Germany, on Gossler <fc Co., of
New York, and H. A. Reus.°, of St. Louis.
The drawees, upon being telegraphed for
information, declared the drafts worthless,
and experts say they are wholly litho

found three such drafts, on Gossler &

EXCESS OF UNITED STATES EXPOBTS OVER
IMPORTS.
Kossuth has just lost his rights as a
Hungarian citizen. The Chamber of
Deputies has adopted a bill declaring
that any native of the country who vol
untarily resides abroad for an uninter
rupted period of ten years shall lose his
civil status. The extreme Left violently
opposed this measure, accusing the gov
ernment of leveling "It directly at Kos
suth, but it was finally carried by one
hundred and forty-one votes to fifty-two.
Washington, November 26.—The state
ment furnished by the Chief of the Bureau
of Statistics shows that the total excess of
txporis over imports of merchandise during
the months of September and October, 1879,
was $61,278,000 as against an excess during
the corresponding period last year of $^8,-
860,000. The value of the exports for the
month of October, 1879, was : greater than
druing any previous month in the history of
the country. The excess of imports over ex
ports of gold and silver from July 1 to No
vember 22 amounted to more than $65,000,-
000.
Wilmington (N. C.) Review: “The
despotic cruelty which General Grant
allowed to be imposed upon the South
by government officials while he oecu^
pied the executive chair, and the still
more monstrous despotism which he
planned and arranged by which to force
Hayes upon the people, should the least
resistance to the outrageous wrong be
manifested, are still too fresh in the
minds of the people to excite confidence
or invite support.”
Chinese immigration threatens to
swamp the native population of the
Hawaiian Islands. The Chinese, all
males, already amount to one-fifth of
the population, and the arrivals in the
last half year reported were two thou
sand, nearly four per cent, of the native
population, and a larger number than
the entire Chinese on the islands in 1874.
A Socialist Boom.—The Socialists of
Chicago passed a resolution at a recent
meeting denouncing thp “Grant bqom”
“a hollow and dangerous fraud, a
whited iepulchre, in which its builders
desire to buiy the few liberties yet left
to the people, and upon which they ex
pect to erect a Bi e marckian despotism,
and on its apex seat Grant as their tooL”
Miss Lawrence Lincoln, the beautiful
and accomplished daughter of J. D.
Lincoln, a wealthy citizen of Cincinnati,
took the veil in that city on Wednesday.
She was one of the queens of society in
the Queen City, and was crossed in love.
Miss Lincoln went to the altar arrayed in
an elegant bridal dress made by Worth
in Paris, The contrast, when she laid
aside her worldly dress and donned the
simple habit of a" nuD, was most striking.
Onlv the mother and immediate relatives
of the lady witnessed the ceremony.
John N. and Robert Taylor, brothers,
attacked two German brothers pained
Eickenaud, who were at work on their
farm near Virginia, Kane county, Illi

settle an old feud. One of the Germans
was stabbed through the lungs, and the
other, while attempting to escape, was
stabbed in the neck, the jugular vein be
ing severed. The latter died instantly;
the other was dying at last accounts.
The murderers fled.

Another ruined gambler's suicide is an*
nounced from Monte Carlo. It was a

The proprietor of the bank offered him
$4,000 to enable him to return to his |
home, bat the Russian haughtily de

THE TROrOSED BEER COMBINATION IN TRE
WEST.
Cincinnati, November 26.—The proposed
consolidation of the beer brewing interests
in this city may fail through the difficulty
in satisfying each member in the appraise
ment of breweries. The committee on ap
praisement was to have reported to-morrow,
but in view of the difficulties encountered,
the time has been extended to Saturday.
Should the proposed general poo] be aban
doned, five of the largest breweries will
consolidate, and expect to be able to con
trol the business and prevent disastrous
competition.
