TAPPING THE W1HKM.
A cigar dealer named Dan Bernstein, in
New York, has begun a suit against Cor
nelius J. Vanderbilt to recover $50,000 al
leged to have been advanced the latter by
Z. E. Sinamoijs, to enable him to carry on
the Vanderbilt will contest, Simmons having
assigned the claim to Bernstein. Vanderbilt
says it is a blackmailing scheme.
A Wheeling, West Virginia, dispatch says
that a gang of the Wetzel county “ Red
Men ” recently visited a store in Tyler
county, knocked senseless, gagged and
bound the owner, and robbed the premises
of property amounting to four or five thou
sand dollars.
A free fight occurred in the New Reformed
Presbyterian Church at Pittsburg, Penn
sylvania, Sunday night. There were two
factions in the church, each of whom
wanted their favorite preacher to be their
pastor. One of these rival preachers at
tempted to mount the rostrum, when the
fight begaD. It raged thickest near the
altar, and the two preachers, several strong
minded women and many laymen joined
actively iu the unite. Yesterday the church
presented a sorry sight. Bibles and hymn
books were scattered about promiscuously,
having evidently been used as missiles,
while numerous bsdr pins and bangs were
collected. Several arrests have been made.
The United States Supreme Court yester
day decided in the case of J. J. Kain,
Bishop of the Roman Catholic Church, vs.
E. G. Gibboney, executrix,from the Western
District of Virginia, that a bequest made to
a Catholic Bishop or his successor in Irust
for ai; unincorporated religious community
is invalid, unless the bequest is made as a
charitable gift, and then unless the objects
of such gift are clearly defined.
A motion was made yesterday in the
United States Supreme Court to advance
on the docket the case of Jaillard vs. Grten-
raan. This is a case which will test the
right of Congress to maintain the legal ten
der quality of greenbacks iu time of peace.
The grand jury at New Orleans yesterday
indicted Edward Connery, James Jackson
and Frank Wing, and three directors of the
suspended Louisiana Savings Bank and Safe
Deposit Company, for wrongfully and felo
niously attempting to deceive the public
relative to the condition of that bank. They
each gave £20,OX) bail.
The indignants of Bangor, Maine, have
issued an address inviting all good citizens
to unite with them iu taking measures to
prevent the consummation of the alleged
outrage “perpetrated on the rights and
liberties of the people of Maine.”
An election for a member of the House of
Commons to till the vacancy occasioned by
the death of Right Hon. John Arthur Roe
buck, was held at Shellield, England, yester
day. There was intense excitement over
the result. Mr. Charles Stewart Wortley,
Barrister, Conservative, was elected by a
majority of 47S.
Commissioner of Internal Revenue Raum
has decided that “black fat” tobacco,which
it has been the custom of tobacconists to
pack in hogsheads and bales for foreign
trade, must hereatter be put up in legal
packages and stamped.
Two Irish lads, Edward Harvey and James
McGeeVer, were, on Friday night last, mur
dered by a party of negroes near Jemegan,
Russell county, Alabama, and their bodies
thrown into the river. Two negroes were
arrested, who confessed the crime, and im
plicated two others. It was decided to
lynch the murderers, and it was done forth
with.
A dispatch from Candabar says the news
from Cabul need excite no surprise nor ap
prehension. Tribes of men who have
hitherto been occupied in preparing their
lands for spring crops are now free from
labor for three mouths, and thus long the
excitement may be expected to last.
New Books.
Father Ryan a Poems. Mobile: John L. Rawer
it Co.

such widespread circulation through the
newspapers and been so universally ad
mired, Lave at length been collect
ed and published in permanent book

somely printed in fair type and on
good paper, comprises two hundred
and sixty-three large octavo pages, and
contains over one hundred poems, many
of which are now first published. The
volume is handsomely' bound in cloth
and gilt, and is illustrated with two fine
steel engravings—one a fine portrait of
Father liyan, the priest-poet, the other a
picture of the Conquered Banner.

Anode's Fortune. A story of real life. By
Andre Theunet. Translated and adopted
from the French by Mary Neal Sherwood.
Philadelphia: T. B. Peterson & Bros.
“Angeles Fortune” is looked upon by
all French critics as the strongest and
most dramatic of Theuriet’s novels. The
story is most admirably told, and as to
the translation, it is only necessary' to say
that it is one of Mrs. Sherwood’s, to insure
its success. Angele’s Fortune is publish
ed in a large square duodecimo volume,
price 75 cents, uniform with “E’Assom-
moir,” and will be found for sale by all
booksellers, or copies of it will be sent to
any one, to any place, on their remitting
75 cents to the publishers.
Foot Prints of Vanished Races in the Missis
sippi Valley. Being an account of some of
the monuments and relics of pre historic
races scattered over its surface, with sug-
g estions as to their origin and use. By A. J.
onant, A. M. St. Louis: Chancy R. Barns.
This volume is a valuable contribution
to American archteology, which within the
few years past, has occupied so large a
share of the attention of scientific inves
tigators in this country and in Europe.
In no portion ot the continent are to be
found more interesting monuments of
pre-historic races than are furnished by
the so-called Indian mounds which
abound in the valley of the Missis
sippi. The author, having his home
in the centre of the great valley
and looking from day to day upon
these relics of a remote antiquity v has
been impelled to investigation, and his
book is a record of facts which came
under his own observation, with his
speculations and conclusions in regard to
them. The volume is illustrated with
numerous engravings.
The Struggle for Laic. By Dr. Rudolph von
Ihering, Professor of Law at the University
of Goettingen. Translated by John J. Lalor,
of the Chicago Bar. Chicago: Callaghan
& Co.
This little volume is a translation from
the fifth German edition of a book which
has already been translated into thirteen
different languages. It was originally
delivered in the form of a lec
ture before a society of jurists in
Vienna in 1872. The object of the
author was, it seems, less of a theoretical
than a practico ethical one, and though
his essay is designed mainly for lawyers
it will be read with interest and profit
both by laymen and professionals.
Poems. By Henry Ibbey. New York: D. Ap
pleton & Co.
The poems contained in this volume
arc remarkable for their exquisite versi
fication, their true poetic feeling and
High moral tone.
The Great Indignation In Maine.
The action of the Governor and Coun
cil of Maine, whose duty it is to examine
and finally pass upon election returns in
that State, and who, in doing so after
the recent election, have been forced, in
strict compliance with the letter of the
law, to reject so many irregular Republi
can returns as to change the complexion
of the State Legislature, has excited great
indignation among the Radicals In that
State. We read that meetings have been
held in several cities, at which fierce de
nunciations were uttered against the
“outrage," as it is called, one
or two of the most fiery of
the orators having even hinted that
before the end is reached there will
be bloodshed. It is hardly worth while
to remark that these bloody hints are but
the vaporings of a few bravadoes, who
hope thereby to bulldoze the canvassing
board of the State, and who, should any
bloodshed really result, will be among
the very first to find some retired and
healthy location.”
It cannot be denied that ever since the
Radicals instituted iu Louisiana and
other Southern States the practice of
manipulating election returns, by means
of partisan returning boards—which
practice culminated in the great national
fraud of 1876—there has been a very
general disposition manifested through
out the country to take advantage of
every irregularity in such returns which
might enure to the success of the party
in control of the various canvassing
boards. The Republicans have made it
an invariable rule to gratify this dispo
sition at all ti mes and at any cost, no
matter how flagrant the fraud necessary
to be perpetrated, and, in return, the
Democrats naturally determined that
whenever an opportunity to “get even”
was presented them, they would teach the
Radicals that they had been promulgat
iug corrupt instructions, which beiDg
learned would surely return to plague the
inventors. This condition of affairs is
greatly to be deplored, but the Radicals
have no right to expect that such a fraud
as they committed in '70 could be com
mitted and the whole country not be
thereby demoralized.
While, however, this disposition to
take advantage of every technicality to
insure party success is general in the
country, we cannot but see that in
Maine the Governor and Council have
law and justice clearly on their side.
Mr. E. F. Pillsbury, one of the Demo
cratic leaders in that State, has written
letter from Augusta, under date of the
18th instant, in which he shows that the
rejected returns were “fatally defective.”
He says:
“The apparent Republican majority for
members of the Legislature was occa
sioned by wholesale, systematic bribery,
bulldozing and fraud. There was a
popular majority for Governor in oppo
sition to the Republicans m many dis
tricts, giving a fusion majority for Gov
ernor. The Republicans succeeded in
getting a majority of the members of
the Legislature by trickery and other
frauds. The Governor and Council
have not based their action on these
frauds in any instance, not having juris
diction, but they have strictly fol
lowed the constitution and thrown out
such returns as were fatally defective,
whether Republican or Democratic. In
some counties more Democratic than He
publican returns have been thus rejected.
The Republicans have been in the habit
for years of secretly returning defective
Republican returns to county officers for
correction, but took advantage of defects
in the Democratic returns. During
twenty-three years of Republican rule
they have never lost an officer by means
of such defects, while the Democrats
have lost more or less every year. This
has served to make the Democratic town
officers more careful and the Republi
cans more careless. The present Gover
nor and Council have held the Republi
cans to the strict letter of the constitution
and laws, and the result is an anti-He
publican majority in both branches.
They have in no case traveled outside of
the precedents established by the Repub
licans themselves, and in most of the
cases their action was based on the opin
ion given by the Judges of the Supreme
Court. For instance, the Judges gave
an opinion in 1875 that the Governor and
Council could not count the votes re
turned for William H. Smith and W. H.
Smith for the same office as having been
given for one and the same person.”
Under these circumstances the Repub
licans have no cause to complain. They
attempted, according to their wont, to
carry the election by trickery and fraud,
but their schemes were discovered and
they were baffied—-nothing else. The
Democrats fearlessly plant themselves
upon the constitution and laws of the
State in justification of their action, and
instead of being denounced for it should
be applauded. Their case is very ma
terially different from that of the Radi
cals when they twice violated the will of
the people of Louisiana by means of their
corrupt returning boards, and when they
outraged the will of the people of the
entire Union by seizing upon the Chief
Magistracy of the United States through
one of the most shameless frauds ever
known to the histcry of any country.
Sharp Is a Game That Two Can
Play At
The proposition that sharp practice
shall be made to decide the Presidential
election next year, instead of permitting
the voters to have their way, is bringing
out suggestions from smart politicians of
both parties. On the one side it has
been suggested that the Republican
party, controlling as it does the Legisla
tuies of States having a majority of the
electoral votes, could determine the elec
tion in its own interest beforehand by
providing that these Legislatures shall
choose the electors; that the Constitu
tion says the electors of a State shall be
chosen “in such manner as the Legisla
ture thereof may direct,” and therefore
this plan would be entirely lawful. But
now comes to Hie front a Democratic
authority who claims that the fourteenth
amendment to the Constitution,in effect,
annuls the clause above quoted in the
following terms:
“When the right to vote at any elec
tion for the choice of electors of Presi
dent and Vice President of the United
States * * * is denied to any of the
male inhabitants of such State, * * ~
or in any way abridged, except for par
ticipation in rebellion or other crime, the
basis of representation therein shall be
reduced,” etc.
“Now, then.” answers Democratic
sharp practice to the Republican propo
sition, “you go ahead with your legisla
tive scheme, and a Democratic Congress,
in counting the electoral vote, will raise
a question as to the power of the Legis
lature to ‘abridge,’ ‘deny,’etc., and throw
out your votes.”
Sharp is a game that two can play at.
The Radicals, in the last Presidential
contest, played the double game of fraud
and force, and had things all their own
way. Things now ain’t just as the}’ used
to was,and the Democrats don’t mean that
the people shall be either beaten, tricked
or swindled of their right to elect the
President of their choice in 1880. Hav
ing control of both houses of Congress,
they are in no danger of being euchred
again. They can afford to “pass” and
hold the age.

THE LARGEST
IfXlaor Matters.
We think with the Washington Star,
that the bill offered by Senator Morgan
the other day to declare forfeited and re
store to the public domain the vast bodies
of land heretofore conditionally granted
by Congress to certain railroad and tele*
graph companies, but not earned by them
in accordance with the terms of their re
spective charters, ought to become a law
at once. The amount of land so held by
various corporations is roundly estimat-
at 130,000 ;000 acres. For this immense
territory nothing has ever been given or
performed by those who now assume to
own it. They hold it by sufferance only,
trusting to the good nature or negligence
of those administering the government
from time to time to allow them to re
tain it without returning an equivalent
therefor. There can, therefore, be no
legal objection or business hardship in
requiring them to relinquish all claim to
it and throw it open to settlers: On the
other hand, every public interest would
be subserved by that course. The day
for valuable subsidies in land grants,
bonds and money to jobbing corporations
has gone by. It is time now that a little
consideration should be given to hard
working artisans and tillers of the soil
by the law making powers.
It is positively amusing to hear the
Radicals of Maine talking about “takin*
measures to prevent the consummation
of the outrage perpetrated on the rights
and liberties of the people of the State,’
and denouncing the action of the Gov
ernor and Council in regard to the recen^
election there, as “the greatest wrong
ever committed under a free govern
ment.” Yet these very people who have
worked themselves into such a state of
righteous indignation because the Gov
ernor and Council counted them out
constitutionally, applauded to the echo
when the Radical returning board
Louisiana, by acknowledged fraud,
counted out McEuery and counted in
Kellogg as Governor of that State; when
Grant took possession of the Louisiana
Legislature by force of arms, and when
the electoral votes of Louisiana and
Florida were deliberately stolen for
Hayes. Evidently they think that what
is sauce for the Louisiana Democratic
goose is not cause for the Maine Radical
ander, even though in Louisiana the re
turning board was confessedly corrupt,
while in Maine the canvassing board have
acted only in accordance with the strict
letter of the law' and the constitution.
Dr. Felton’s Remedy for Sectional
Politics.
Rev. W. H. Felton, D. D., Jefferso
nian Democratic Representative of the
Seventh Congressional District, is dis
consolate because the South is so solidly
Democratic. He says he is “not willing
to cripple the South any longer with
sectional politics.” He is exceedingly
anxious that the South shall “shake her
self loose” from the Northern Democ
racy, who he says “are very intent on
keeping us solid to give them votes when
they desire them.” A “solid South,” he
says,“means only poverty and inaction.’
For all this the Rev. Felton, D. D.. gives
us no other personal reason than that he is
desperately and irreconcilably opposed
to “sectional politics.” The Doctor does
not inform us how he proposes to put an
end to the “ sectional politics” to which
he attributes all our woes. Being him
self a Jeffersonian Democrat of the
strictest sect, he certainly does not pro
pose that we shall abandon the Democra
cy and go over to the Northern Radical
party. The only alternative, then, ac
cording to Dr. Felton, D. D., is for
us to repudiate both national parties
and form a new Southern or purely
sectional party. Perhaps the Rev.
Felton, D. D., could furnish us with
a new code of principles for such a par
ty, but we think it would be difficult for
him to show that such au organization
would be less sectional than National
Democracy, or that the Southern people
would improve their condition either po
litically or financially by abandoning
their principles and arraying themselves
in an attitude of avowed sectional an
tagonism to both the great national par
ties.
A. T. Soule, of Rochester, has offered
a purse of $5,000, open to all the oars
men of the world, the race to be rowed
under the auspices of the Eastern Row
ing Association at Boston on the 17th of
June, 1880, wind, weather and water
permitting. He also offers $500 for a
cup or trophy, and gives $100 for each
foreign professional oarsman’s expenses,
not exceeding five in number, and $200
for the expenses of any Australian oars
men, not exceeding two in number. A
man with brains could make a much
better use of his money.
American Contuihution to Liver
pool Commerce.—That our own coun
try contributes the largest portion to the
commerce of Liverpool is quite evident
from the returns of dock and tonnage rates*
receive! at that port for the year ended
July 1,which are just published. Out of a
total revenue of $3,470,000 from vessels
from all parts of the world, $1,660,000
was received from those trading with the
United States. One dock, the Huskis
son, yielded a revenue of $550,000 upon
a tonnage of 776,563 tons. The total
tonnage accommodated in the port for
the twelve months reached the immense
aggregate of 7,034,356 tons.
SOUTHERN DECISIONS OF THE U. S. SUPREME |
COURT.
Washington, December 22.—Decisions |
were rendered in the United States Supreme
Court to-day in the following Southern
cases: J. J. Kain, Bishop of the Roman
Catholic Church,vs. E. G. Gibboney, execu
trix, from the Western District of Virginia.
It was held that a bequest made to a Catho
lic Bishop, or his successor, in trust for an
unincorporated religious community, is in
valid unless the bequest is made as
a charitable gift, and in the latter
case ouiy when the objects of such
gifts are clearly and definitely stated.
The decree of the lower court is affirmed.
The Florida Central Railroad Company
vs. J. Fred. Schutte et al. Motion to vacate
the supersedeas bond ou account of fraud
was granted. The motion of the appellants
for leave to file a new supersedeas bond was
denied. The motion of the appellees to dis
miss was denied upon certain conditions to
be fulfilled by the appellants.
A motion’was submitted in the United
States Supreme Court to-day by Senator
Edmunds to advance upon the docket the
case of Jaillard vs. Grunman, which now
stands No. 779. This is a test case, brought
to obtain the opinion of the Supreme Court
as to the validity of an act of CoDgress of
May 31, 1878, forbidding the further retire
ment of greenbacks, and requiring them to
be reissued and kept in circulation after
their redemption. The case will bring up
the whole question of the power of Con
gress to maintain the legal tender quality
of United States Treasury notes in time of
peace.

COMMONS.
Sheffield, Eng., December 22.—An elec

THE BANGOR INDIGNANT. 1 }.
Bangor, Me., December 22.—The Exccu- I
tive Committee appointed by the indigna
tion meeting in this city Saturday evening
has issued an address urging all good citi
zens of every city, town and hamlet in the
State to unite with them in taking measures J
for concerted action to prevent the consum
mation of the alleged outrage perpetrated
on the rights and ’liberties of the people, I
and the honor and fair name of the |
State of Maine. “Great evils
6ays the address, “demand prompt I
remedies, and for this, the greatest wrong
ever committed under a free government,
we believe that among the people of Maine
there are clean bands to discover and strong
arms to apply a means to render it of no |
avail. For this purpose we ask your advice,
assistance and co operation, that the bon- I
est intelligence and patriotism of our peo
ple may become a living force to carry out
their will.”
BANK DIRECTORS INDICTED.
New Orleans, December 22.—The grand
jury to-day indicted three directors of the
suspended Louisiana Savings Bank and Safe
Deposit Company, viz: Edward Connery,
James Jackson and Frank Wing for wrong
fully and feloniously concealing facts
within their knowledge relative to the con
dition of the bank, with the intent,
to deceive the public, and signing
and submitting to the Treasurer of the
State for official publication a fraudulent
report of the condition of the bank at the
close of business, January 25th and May
6th, 1879. The parties gave $20,000 bail
each and were discharged.

Tiie Railway Age Monthly and
Railway Service Magazine.—Early in
next month will be commenced in Chi
cago the publication of a magazine with
the above title, designed for the improve
ment and entertainment of station agents,
passenger and ticket agents, office em
ployes, train men, workers in car and
locomotive shops, road masters, yaxl
men and all classes of emploj’es in the
railway service who are ambitious of
advancement in their rail way profession.
The magazine will contain sixty-four
pages, and be issued monthly at $1 50
a year.
A vigorous war is being levied in
South Carolina against patent medicines.
The Legislature of that State is disposed
to pass a bill prohibiting the sale as
medicine of any dose whose ingredients
are not labeled on the outside. The
patent medicine man must, therefore,
disclose the secret of his compound if he
wishes to sell it in “the Palmetto State.’
When its constituents are known it is
doubtful whether the supposed invalid
will feel disposed to try a bottle of
Jones’ hair restorer or Smith’s bitters
when he can have them put up himself
at less cost.
THE CHICAGO STRIKERS.
Chicago, December 22.—The eight thou
sand striking workmen at the stock yards
have largely resumed work, the packers
having generally acceded to their demand
that no men outside the union be employed.
THE LOUISVILLE AND NASHVILLE RAILROAD.
Louisville, December 22.—The earnings
of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad for
the eleven months ending December 1, were
$5,*308,464, against $4,849,250 in 187S, an in
crease of $459,207.
SUDDEN DEATH OF A JUDGE.
Norfolk, December 22.—Judge George
P. Scarburgh, of the Corporation Court of
this city, died suddenly at his residence at
midnight last night, aged seventy-three.
TENNESSEE RADS FOR GRANT.
Nashville, December 22.—In the Re-
)ublican caucus held Saturday night a reso-
ution was adopted recommending Grant
for the Presidency.
The Nation says that General Grant’s I
apologies for his want of eloquence are
often infantile in their simplicity; but it
is inclined all the same to doubt the be
lief which he expressed at Pittsburg that
he could do better with a pen. It re
quires brains to use a pen as well as a |
tongue.

The New York Tribune of Friday calls
upon Gen. Grant to break his long-kept
reticence and tell the country which
Presidency he wants—whether that of
the Nicaraguan Canal Company or of
the United States. The Tribune is tired
of being in the dark, and calls, like “an
infant crying in the night,” for light. It
says that “the time has come when true
dignity requires speech rather than si
lence. In a case of this kind silence will
not only be interpreted as an acceptance,
but silence is ap acceptance.”
