TAPPING THE W1RK».
A bill was introduced In the Virginia As
sembly yesterday to Incorporate the Rich
mond and Southwestern Railway Company,
to extend from some point on the south'
eastern boundary of Kentucky to tide water
in Virginia. No progress was made by the
Repudlators In electing County Judges, on
account of dissatisfaction in the party with
various caucus nominees. The breach will
be speedily healed, however, and repudia
tion control as firmly as possible established
in the State.
In the Senate yesterday, Mr. Voorhees’ re
solution for the appointment of a commit
tee to investigate the negro exodus to Indi
ana, was taken up and discussed at length
by Messrs. Voorhees, Windom, Hill, Ran
som and others. Mr. Voorhees said the peo
ple of Indiana did not desire to have the
State colonized by negroes any more than
the people of California desired to be colo
nized by Chinese. Mr. Hill said the reported
cause of the exodus was all gammon ; that
the negroes in the South were generally
contented, and that only the thriftless and
worthless class of negroes were dissatisfied.
Mr. Ransom quoted from several while
Republicans and leading negro citizens of
North Carolina to prove that the negro race
was well treated there, and he said that the
treatment of the negroes in the South would
compare favorably with the treatment of
Indians by the North, for while one race
was visibly and rapidly improving, the other
was disappearing from the face of the
earth. Mr. Voorhees* resolution was finally
passed. In the House, the resolution for
the removal of the Utes from Utah was dis
cussed at length in committee of the whole.
Nothing else of any special interest was
transacted in either body.
Special dispatches from Paris predict the

on the bill introduced by Mr. Goode, of
Virginia, at the last session, providing that
the net proceeds of the sales of public lands
shall be set apart and consecrated to the
education of the people of the United
States.
The House Committee on the Revision of
Laws yesterday met and discussed at length
the joint resolution introduced by Mr. Town
send at the last session, prohibiting the pay
ment of uny claim in any Southern State
for property taken or destroyed by the United
States army during the war. Final cont-id-
eratlon of the resolution was postponed until
after the holiday recess.

with severe losses. The Chiliau losses were
also heavy.

The Emperor Francis Joseph, replying to
an address from the Delegations yesterday,
said that the relations of the Austrian Gov
ernment with all the foreign powers are
most friendly, and he proposes to keep
them so. The Berlin treaty will be executed,
and the Ministry have decided to make no
demand upon the country not absolutely
required by the interests of the monarchy.
It Is stated that the reason why the Rus

The “Mobile,” the pioneer ship of the
Gulf City Steamship Company, arrived in
Mobile yesterday with a full cargo for St.
Louis via the Mobile and Ohio Railroad,
•with which the company is allied. It is
hoped the inauguration of this line will in
duce the government to improve and deepen
the harbor of Mobile. The “Mobile” has
a capacity of from 4,500 to 5,000 bales of
cotton.
The Comptroller of the Currency has
called on the national banks for a statement

The Resalt of the Canvass in Maine.
Our dispatches this morning inform
ns that the canvass of the returns of the
recent Maine election by the Governor
and Council has been completed, and
as the result of throwing out all illegal
returns, the Fusionists (the Democrats
and Greenbackera) have a very decided
majority over the Republicans in both
branches ot the Legislature. And as
that body elects the Governor to serve
for the ensuing year, another Democratic
administration is secured for the Pine
Tree State. Thus, all the efforts of
Blaine and his followers to bring about
a victory by means of fraud, corruption,
bulldozing and sensational sectional ap
peals from the stump, are brought to
nought.
It is now in order for the Blaineites
throughout the country to raise the cry
against the Democratic Governor and
Council of Maine of “fraud,” “violating
the will of the people,” “stealing the
Legislature,” etc. No doubt also Blaine
himself will fret and fume, and his fol
lowers will rage furiously with impotent
anger. Nevertheless, as well as we can
understand the case, they will have to
submit, for the Democracy clearly have
law and justice on their side. The law
of the State is explicit in declaring how
the election returns shall be made out,
and the Governor aud Council have sim
ply determined that such law shall not
be a dead letter, but that it .shall be
strictly enforced. Hence returns which
were made out in an illegal manner
were rejected, according to the bounden
duty of the canvassing officers, and if
obedience to their duty has resulted in a
Radical defeat, it will teach that party a
good lesson, viz: that in Maine, at least
while a Democratic Governor is in the
chair, they can no longer violate the laws
with impunity.
If, however, the Democratic board of
canvassers in Maine had actually count
ed out the Republican majority in the
State Legislature, as the Radicals will
accuse them of doing, these latter have
no right to complain. They it was who
first instituted the custom of counting
out elected, and counting in defeated
candidates in this country. After the
experience we have had in Louisiana and
other Southern States, where elected
Democratic candidates were not only
counted out, but their Radical oppo
nents were placed in office by force
of arms, and after the country
has been presented with the spectacle of
a Radical Chief Magistrate occupying
the first office in the gift of the people of
the United States through a bold and
flagrant usurpation, the Republican
party are forever estopped from
preferring against any other po
litical party the charge of fraud.
If, therefore, the Democrats of
Maine had indeed followed the prece
dents set by the Radicals they would be
only executing the villainy which these
latter had taught them. Nevertheless,
we are glad to know that the Maine De
mocracy have only acted according to the
letter of the law, and have been governed
solely by the spirit of justice.

Postmaster General Key has spent
nearly $6,000,0$P on his horse routes,
and wants $2,000,000 more to cover a
“deficiency,” which was squandered or
6tolen by employes or contractors, or
allowed favorite contractors by the Sec
ond Assistant Postmaster General, who
has the right to alter a contract by allow
ing compensation for additional trips
and greater speed. The cost of the route
from Viuita to Las Vegas, in New Mexi
co. a little over 700 miles, has thus been
raised from $6,300 to $150,000, which,of
course, is a fraudulent proceeding, for
which Brady ought to be held responsi
ble.
The agitation of £tlie land question in
Ireland has already produced good re

duced the rents and an effort is being
made to provide work for those who are

distress is not so much the failure of the
crops as vicious and blundering legisla*
tion. Like some oth er countries, Ireland
has been governed too much.

Meeting of the Stockholders of
Central Railroad.
In our local columns this morning will
be found a report of the proceedings of
the annual meeting of the stockholders
the Central Railroad and Banking
Company, held at their banking house in
this city yesterday. Though a quorum
of the stock was not represented, the meet
ing was large, comprising many promi
nent members of the company, and its ac
tion was entirely harmonious. President
Wadley having sufficiently recovered
from his late injury to enable him to be
present, made a very interesting statement
explaining certain portions of his annual
report and giving his views in regard to
the present status, the past and future
policy of the company, which was rc
ceived with manifest approval Alluding
to the legislation by which the lease of
the Macon and Brunswick Road
was made conditional upon the
construction of another line of
road between Macon and Atlanta.
Mr. Wadley expressed his surprise
at what he could only construe as lcgis-
tive action in direct hostility to the io
terests of his company and of Savannah.
He denied that there was any just
grounds for such hostility to the Central
Road, which had afforded every facility
tc through transportation over the Ma
con and Brunswick Road, and deplored
unnecessary rivalry fraught, as it
would be, with injury not only to cor
porate interests and invested capital, but
to the commercial centres of our
section. If this legislation was persisted
in, and resulted in combinations hostile
to the Central, it would become neces.
sary for the Central, in self-defense, to
make other connections and to extend its
operations. The directors of the Central
sought no such antagonism, but he as
sured the meeting that the company was
amply able to protect itself, and, if forced
to do so, would use all its advantages to
that end.
The resolutions adopted by the meet
ing show that the stockholders heartily
concur in the views of their able Presi
dent, and will sustain him and his Board
of Directors in their efforts to protect
the interest of the company.
The threatened combinations of “other
lines” and some of the “advantages” to
which President Wadley alludes were
fully set forth by our Atlanta corres
pondent in yesterday’s News. With
these manifest advantages, and the
ability and resolution to make them
available, we have no present fear that
our great and far-reaching commercial
highway, the Central Railroad, is to be
annihilated by hostile competition, or
that our ancient seaport, Savannah, is to
be eclipsed in the race of commercial
prosperity by her younger rivals.

GEORGIA MOONSHINERS.
Thom*. F. the Man for the j fly TELEGRA PH.
In an interview reported in the World, | FROM ATLANTA.
Judge George F. Comstock, of Syracuse,
N. Y., says: “I think Bayard is the | The Drew Crusade and Other Matters,
bravest nmn in the Democratic party* to
day, and his bravery is of that honest
kind that will win the cordial approval
of all honest Democrats. His position
is not only sound, but it is the attitude
of a true awrt statesman. 1 am
of the opinion that the Democratic Na
tional Convention will be forced by the
people to nominate Bayarcf for President.
He is the only available man for the
nomination. By that I mean he is the
only man of distinguished character and
statesmanlike views whose record is with
out blemish and without reproach. The
Democracy number other men equally
pure and honorable,but they are not avail
able for the reason that they are not dis
tinguished as statesmen. Bayard’s hard
money platform embodied in his resolu
tion declaring that hereafter legal tender
notes shall be legal tender only for dues
to the government, excepting dues on im
ports, is the only platform on which we
can possibly hope to carry the countiy in
the next Presidential election. I have the
highest regard for Mr. Bayard, and no
true Democrat can fail to honor the Sena
tor for his manly and honest attitude.
With Bayard as a Presidential candidate,
the Democracy can carry New YorttfNew
Jersey and Connecticut. I do not be
lieve that the Democracy have another
available candidate who could be relied
upon to carry those States. I am also of
the opinion that Bayard could possibly
carry Indiana; at least I think his pros
pects for carrying that State would be as
good as those of Hendricks. Bayard could
certainly carry New York, and I am of
the opinion that Hendricks could not.
If it is true, as has been intimated, that
Tilden’s friends are opposed to Bayard
in his fight for constitutional money,
they are exceedingly short-sighted, for
such antagonism will rally to the support
of Bayard not only the best men of his
own party but the best men of the
whole country. Just such opposition
will bring to the Delaware statesman the
united support of the Democracy. The
Democratic party has been wait
ing for a strong man to come
forward who had the courage to do right
and to denounce the errors of his
party. That man has appeared in the
person of Senator Bayard. I think the
result of the fall elections in Ohio and
New York must have convinced the
Democrats that it is uselessTo turn to
wards either of these States for a Presi
dential candidate. If the Democracy
expect to win in the next Presidential
election, they must stand upon a plat
form which demands constitutional
money; upon just such a platform,
ihort. as Senator Bayard proposes. I
think it has been demonstrated that it
will be useless for the party to appeal to
the people for their suffrages upon any
other platform.”

The Chicago Pork Packing Troubles.
REPORT OF NATIONAL BANKS
CALLED FOR.
A statistician who has been studying
the House of Representatives, disposes
of all chances of the Republicans ever
getting possession of the lower branch of
Congress. There are 187 members from
Northern States. Of the districts these
represent, 48 have been Democratic at all
times and under all circumstances. They
returned Democrats to Congress during
the war, and at a time when the Demo
cratic party of the country was in its
weakest condition. The Republicans,
even if they carry every doubtful district
in the North, cannot secure more than
139 members from that section, whereas
a majority is 147. To get a majority of
Congress, therefore, the Republicans
must carry eight districts in the South,
where they have now only five. Until
the South goes over to the Republican
party, therefore, there is no possibility of
the Republicans ever securing control of
Congress.

Large Offer for a Franchise.—At
a meeting of the New York Board of Al
dermen on Tuesday, a communication
was received from Hon. John D. Haskin
in regard to the proposition to construct
a railroad on Broadway, from the South
Ferry to Central Park, and expressing
the opinion that Such a valuable fran
chise should be disposed of to the high
est bidder. In the event of the franchise
being otherwise disposed of, Mr. Haskin
offered the sum of $1,000,000 for the
franchise within ten days from the time
of the grant being made. The subject
was referred to the Committee on Rail
roads.
Proposing to Tax Churches.—The
special tax commission in New Jersey
is engaged in the examination of the
subject of taxing church and college
property. It is understood that there is
a widespread and growing feeling in that
State that neither churches nor colleges
should be exempted from the general
burden of taxation, and that strong rep
resentations to this effect will be laid be
fore the commission.
The Washington Post suggests that as
General Grant hasn’t time for a provin
cial tour in his own person this season,
Colonel Fred. Grant and the Arabian
stallions might properly be sent out to
appease the devouring cursorily of the
rural populace.
Political Colonization.—It is stated
that Senator Voorhees intends to press for
early action upon his resolution intro
duced into the Senate for an investiga
tion into the causes of the colored emi
gration from North Carolina and other
Southern States into Indiana. For some
time there has been a well grounded sus
picion that political purposes were at the
bottom of this movement, and the people
of Indiana, unwilling to be colonized by
negroes for the purpose of taking the
control of their local State government
out of their hands, are very anxious to
have the matter thoroughly investigated.
Hence Senator Voorhees’ resolution. As
was to be expected, objection was
promptly made from the Republican side
of the Senate to the consideration of the
resolution, when it was introduced on
Monday. This objection delayed, but
will not prevent its adoption.
A Superfluous Account.—The whole
amount of surplus revenue distributed
among the States by the act of June,
1836, was about $28,000,000. Of this
amount New York received $4,014,520,
Pennsylvania, Virginia and Ohio over
$2,000,000, North Carolina, Georgia,
Kentucky and Tennessee over $1,000,000
each, and Maryland $955,858. This en
tire sum, which has been considered a
loan, has been carried on the books of
the Treasury Department from 1836 to
this time. With the concurrence of the
Treasury Department, Senator Davis has
introduced a bill to erase this account
from the books of the department, as
there is of course no idea that the States
will ever be called upon tojepay it.-

of said net proceeds and after ten years the
whole of the same shall be set apart as an
educational fund and invested in United
States four per cent, bonds, the interest of
which shall be appropriated as above pro

THE GULF CITY STEAMSHIP COMPANY.
Mobile, December 18.—The new aud

arrived to-day, twenty days from Glasgow.
She briugs a full cargo, Including nine
hundred tons of freight for St. Louis via

Important artery to the Northwest the Gulf

the Mobile and Ohio Railroad Company, and
among the directors are Wm. Butler Duncan,
President of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad,
and Thos. Henry, President of the Mobile

Russian eagle on the buttons.

AUSTRIA AT PEACE WITH THE WORLP.
Vienna, December 18.—The Emperor
Francis Joseph, replying to an address from
the delegations to-day, said; “My relations
with all foreign powers are most friendly.
My close understanding with the German
empire offers a strengthened guarantee
that the universal tranquillity which ensures
to peaceful labor its full development will
be established. It may be anticipated that
the continuous execution of the Berlin
treaty will restore perfect peace to the
Balkan peninsula. The Ministry have ex
cluded from its programme all demands on
the country not absolutely required by the
interests of the monarchy.” This appears
to be a declaration iu favor of the army bill.
PROPOSED ESTABLISHMENT OF A QUARAN
TINE COMMISSION.
In the House of Representatives Mon
day Mr. Coffrolh, of Pennsylvania, in
troduced a bill “Further lo amend the
pension laws (granting pensions to all
surviving enlisted men, including volun
teers—and all drafted men in thd service
of the Urilted States in tho late war and
their surviving widows and dependent
fathers and mothers).” While Mr. Cof
froth was about it, he need not have
stopped at the fathers and mothers. The
grandfathers and grandmothers, to say
nothing of the sisters, the cousins and the
aunts, are entitled to consideration. And
while the country is expending millions
to glorify General Grant (a soldier of for
tune who was raised by the war from
poverty and obscurity to affluence and
power) there would seem to be no good
reason why the “surviving widows and
dependent fathers and mothers” of the
soldiers who fought the battles and shed
their blood, as they mistakenly be

The Radical Scheme to Steal the
Electoral Vote of New York.
Philadelphia Record.
The proposition of the Nevr York
Tribune and other papers of the stalwart
variety, that the Republican Legislatures
of New York, Connecticut, Ohio, New
Jersey, and other Northern States which
the Democrats have a fair prospect of
carrying next year for their Presidential
candidate, shall assume, under the
authority allowed by the Federal Consti
tution, to appoint the electors, and there
by forestall, and perhaps^ circumvent,
the expression of the popular will in
the States referred to, is of a start
ling character, and deserves the
most emphatic condemnation. That.
such a plot exists is without doubt true. | Fl*||itS ftllu
It is needless to denounce its stark and
shameless infamy, for the authors of the
project uoblushingly proclaim that the
partisan capture of the electoral college,
in defiance of the people, is the end in
view. This new device is only a varia
tion of the fraud, under forms of law,
which defeated the wishes of a large ma
jority of American citizens in the matter
of the Presidency three years ago. The
people submitted then, but they will not
submit so easily to a repetition of the
crime. The fact that New York used to
choose her electors of President and Vice
President through her Legislature, and
that South Carolina followed the same
method previous to 1861, is worth about
as much in the line of precedent as are
the religious and property qualifications
that were formerly attached, in many of
the States, to the exercise of the right of
suffrage. Nor is the provision of the
second section of article second of the
Federal Constitution, that each State
shall appoint its electors “in such man
ner as the Legislature thereof may
direct,” significant of the propriety of a
return to the discarded undemocratic sys
tem which is now sought to be revived.
The progressive spirit of our institu
tions is in nothing shown more strikingly
than in the gradual and general
amelioration of popular disabilities and
the enlargement of popular privileges
which have been effected without formal
change of the organic law, either of the
Union or of the several States. Many
political abuses have been corrected by
the different States which might, so far
as naked constitutional power is con
cerned, be restored as a part of their in
ternal economy by mere legislative en
actment. Yet no one would venture lo
say that such retrogression was at all de
fensible, or that it should be tolerated by
those whose franchises were trampled on
in the backward march. There is no
more evident postulate in the theory even
of despotic government than that which
affirms the peril of attempting to re
cover from the people privileges once
awarded to them. The principle is es
pecially worthy of observance in a free
republic. In this matter of choosing a
President the tendency of public thought
is toward a still larger individual liberty
in voting for Presidential candidates, and
the great mass of citizens, it is safe to
say, would prefer a direct popular ballot
without the introduction of electors.
The idea of taking away even the unsat
isfactory and indirect control of the
choice of the National Chief Magistrate
now exercised by the people will find no | TTd^’ITIlTT'
acceptance with an}-body outside of the I U J; U JLi
blind and oesperate party leaders who
propose it. It is the suggestion of a mod
and fnnatical spirit of usurpation, which
would ride roughshod over the necks of
citizens in order to retain power, and the
attempt to carry it out will be met, if
need be, by resistance which will be ef
fectual.

There is iu the United States Revised
Statutes a provision that the Sergeant-at-
Arms of the House and the Secretary of
the Senate shall deduct from the pay of j
Representatives and Senators for the
time they are absent from the sessions of |
their respective houses, unless detained
by sickness. Senator Sharon (Rep., Nev.)
came to Washington last February and
drew two years’ salary, during which
time he had not attended the meetings of
Congress. Mr. Sharon was notin Wash
ington during the extra session. He is
expecied there soon, and when he pre
sents his little bill for salary as Senator
from March 5 to July 1 the Secretary of
the Senate will refuse payment. The
law is explicit. Under the same rule
Jim Blaine having remained away from
Washington up to tho present time to
look after the counting of the votes in
his State, should also be subjected to a
reduction of bis salary, unless be can
make out another case of sunstroke.

Suicide.—Last night • about nine
o’clock 31 r. James D. Tuieu, an
old citizen of this place, and who,
for many years, has been connected
some way with the J., P. & M.
R. R, in a fit of temporary insanity
killed himself under the following cir
cumstances: He returned home from the
railroad shops with his son in the even
ing in usual spirits, ate supper, talked
considerable with his family, and retired
as usual. His son was awakened by a
pistol shot in the adjoining room, where
his father and mother were sleeping. He
roused up to see his father coming into
his own room with a lamp in one hand,
which he put down on the table. Mr. Tu-
ten then swallowed a glass of liquor from
the table and almost instantly thereafter
placed the muzzle of the pistol in his
mouth and fired. The ball passed
through the base of the skull producing
death in a very short time. When the
neighbors came in he was lying on the
floor dead, with the pistol by him. He
had first tried to use a razor, but his wife
had taken it from him. He then at
tempted to shoot himself, but she
knocked up the pistol—this was the shot
heard by the son. The above facts are
in accordance with the verdict of the
Coroner’s jury.—Tallahassee Floridian,
