TAPPING THE WIRES.
A New Orleans epeclal says that a re
markable instance of lawlessness In North
Louisiana has been made public by the offi
cers on steamboat Era, No. 11, just arrived
there. A man named J. J. Adams, with a
crowd of ruffians, captured the boat and
treated the Captain very roughly. The boat
had to cut her lines and make off, and
Adams followed her for some distance, and
fired seven bullets into her pilot house,
Though there were a number of passengers
on board, fortunately no one was hurt
Adams was tried some years ago for murder,
hut could not be convicted.
At a meeting of the Superiors of the un
authorized religious confraternities
France it was decided to 6tand upon their
common law rights. The operations of the
decrees are to be extended to the colonies.
The Liberal net gain in the British Parlia
ment is now fifty-six seats. The Time* says
that the opposition have undoubtedly se
cured a good working majority.
The Timex, referring to the Indian policy
of the new British administration, says that
Lord Lytton, Viceroy to India, will proba
bly resign, and Lord Northbrook, former
Governor General of India, is suggested as
his successor. The new Viceroy will be in
structed to secure peace in Afghanistan,
and it is stated in the Times:
“We shall hear no more of the
proposed cession of Herat to Persia.
The Times also says that the Liberal Cabinet
will maintain the treaty of Berlin and will
treat the Anglo-Turkish Convention as the
engagement of a contingent obligation. In
South Africa, it will inquire into the annex
ation of the Transvaal, and that it should in
sist that the. South African colonies,
whether they confederate for pollt!
cal purposes or not, shall enter
Into such common engagements for
the public defense as shall relieve themother
country from the expense of native
wars. The Toll Mall Qaictte says It is est!
mated that the new House of Commons will
consist of 317 Liberals, 271 Conservatives
and 63 Home Rulers. The feeling of un
easiness in London lest the majority of the
Liberals would not be large enough to form
a stable government passed away Saturday,
and the stock markets were strong and
almost buoyant.
During the morning hour several meas
ures were presented to the Senate yester
day, the most important of which was a bill
authorizing a retired list of non-commis
sioned army officers of thirty years service.
Pending debate on this measure the morn
Ing hour expired, and the Senate took up
the bill to ratify the contract with the Ctcs,
which was discussed to adjournment. In
the House, under the call of States, various
minor bills were introduced. At the con
clusion of the call of States, Mr. Manning
rose to a question of personal privilege.
He made an explanation in regard to an
article in the Washington Toni rela
tive to the action of Mr. Springer, of
Illinois, in the Donelly-Washburne contested
cise, which article said that he (Mr. Man
ning) had accused Mr. Springer of duplicity-
in his course in voting against seating
Donelly. Mr. Manning 6atd he had made
no charges and expressed no opinion re
garding Springer’s course. Mr. Springer
replied at length, and after he concluded
the subject was dropped, and the House
soon after adjourned.
The river and harbor and the naval ap
propriation bills have been completed by
the sub committees having them in charge.
The latter appropriates, in round numbers,
$14,000,000.
Prince Jerome Napoleon has published a
letter in regard to the decrees against the
unauthorized religious confraternities in
France. He said he would be false to his
origin if he showed himself the enemy of
religion.- He also said: “ There is nothing
in common between the Legitimists and
ouerselves. It is time for each to resume
his colors, traditions and principles, and
that all ambiguity should cease."
Minister Noyes has recently returned
to his post in Paris after a tour of be
tween three and four months in Asia and
Africa. Next, Minister Maynard, shortly
after getting back to Constantinople from
a long leave of absence home, left again
on an extended tour, and is at present
junketing in Egypt; and now it i3 an
nounced that Minister Easson is coming
home from Vienna to look after the next
elections in Iowa. This is the sort of
thing, says the Washington Star, that
makes a good many people think our
' whole diplomatic system might as well
be dispensed with, and its so-called du
ties turned over to our consuls. As a
rule those officers are useful, and earn
their salary, which is more than can be
said of most of our foreign ministers, or,
perhaps, of any of them.
It is twenty-seven years since the Hyde
heirs began their quest of several hun
dred millions of dollars supposed to be
awaiting them in the vaults of the Bank
of England. The association has just
now some four hundred members, and
the idea seems to be as is usual in such
cases, not only that in union there is
strength, but the more claimants the
merrier. Their agent, who has L-ecn
abroad looking into the matter for some
months—or trying to—reports that
a lawsuit must be entered upon to get
the information needful to make a fair
start. A bill of discovery must be filed.
As English chancery proceedings are pro
verbially interminable, the prospect is
not encouraging for a speedy distribution.
By the time they get their money it is
barely possible that the natural increase
of the heirs will considerably lessen the
£-n:« 3 cacu, even allowing ior
the accruing interest of the fund.
The Railroad Commissioners’ Tariff
and the Railroads.
It is announced that President Wadley
of the Central, President Alexander of
the Georgia, and President Johnson of
tbe Macon and Brunswick Railroads,
during their late visit to Atlanta, had
full and free consultations with the Rail
road Commissioners; that the latter
showed every disposition to do justice to
the roads, and that the result of the con
sultations were eminently satisfactory to
all concerned.
We also learn from a gentleman of
this city, who has very recently returned
from a visit to Atlanta, and who, while
there, had a long interview on this sub
ject with ex Governor Smith, that this
latter gentleman reassured him that it
was not the intention of the Commission
to adopt any course which would be
in j urious to the railroads of Georgia; that
they (the Commissioners) reasoned that
the stock of the roads should be at least
worth par to the holders thereof, and
that the basis upon which the tariff
would eventually be settled would be to
allow an interest of about 7 per cent, on
the capital invested in railroad stocks,
worth one hundred cents on the dollar.
These two statements should be sufficient
to justify the belief that the Commis
sioners will so regulate their system of
rates as not to cripple railroad enterprise
in Georgia.
We have always believed that the Com
mission would adopt some such rule of
action. To do otherwise would, as we
have said in previous articles, be a sui
cidal policy. No State can prosper or be
developed without ample facilities tor
the transportation of its products to the
markets of tbe world, and these
facilities can only bo afforded by
railroads. Therefore, as no capitalist or
any om> else would be willing to expend
money in the construation of railroads
unless there was presented a reasonable
prospect of a fair return for the invest
ment, to adopt an unjust tariff of rates
would be to inflict a fatally serious blow
directly- upon the State, and upon every
cilizen thereof. And particularly would
this be the case in Georgia, since the
State is itself the owner of a very im
portant line of railway—the Western and
Atlantic.
It was never the intention either of
the framers of the Constitution of Geor
gia or of the Legislature to paralyze rail
road enterprise, and it is, as we have seen,
very evident that neither do the Commis
sioners propose to work to their injury.
It is more than likely, therefore,
that this Railroad Commission will
prove, in the end, a decided benefit to
the roads, inasmuch as, while permitting
them to earn a3 much as before the law
was passed, it will, by the adoption of
just and equitable regulations, put a
stop to the hue and cry about “unjust
discrimination,” which has been so fre
quently and oftentimes unreasonably
raised against our iron highways, to
which, more than to any other agency,
Georgia is indebted for the prosperity she
to-day enjoys.
Congressman Butterwortb, of the first
Ohio district, says that if Gen. Grant is
nominated for the Presidency, he (But-
terworth) will decline to stand as a can
didate for renomination, as he is as
sured that with Grant as the nominee,
no Republican can be elected to Congress
from the first (Cincinnati) district next
fall because of the decided opposition to
the ex President.
The Kellogg Case.
It is rumored from Washington that
Southern Democratic Senators will vote
to retain Kellogg in his scat. We hope
there is no truth in this rumor. It did
not need the array of testimony recently-
elicited by the investigating committee
to show that Kellogg has not and never
had the slighest shadow of a rightful
title to a seat in the Senate. It is noto
rious that he was never elected by
any body of men having any clainy
to call themselves a legislative body.
The mongrel mob of negroes and carpet
bag adventurers who received his bribes
and went through the farce of pretend
ing to elect him, dissolved immediately
after the farce was over, and were
never recognized as a Legislature,
either by the people of Louisiana
or the government at Washington.
Kellogg's admission to the seat which
he now disgraces was a most flagrant
outrage, perpetrated by the votes of a
corrupt and unscrupulous Radical ma
jority for purely partisan purposes. For
that outrage and degradation of the
American Senate the Radical party is re
sponsible. The Democrats have it in
their power to right this great wrong.
If they refuse to Jo so they will stultify
themselves and most wofully disappoint
the just expectations of the country.
The question of the regulation of in-
ter-State commerce is beginning to attract
a great deal of attention. It is evident
that none of the bills before Congress
bearing upon this important matter will
pass. The discussion which they have
already caused shows that the inter State
commerce problem is not yet thoroughly-
understood, and that it3 solution will be
left for some future Congress. There
a resolution now before the Senate, in
troduced by Senator Cameron, which
provides for a commission to consider the
whole question. The commission is to
be composed of three Senators appointed
by the President of the Senate, three
members of the House appointed by the
Speaker, and three commissioners ap
pointed by the President. The commis
sion is to make its report to the next Con
gress.

Grant’s friends evidently intend, and
he seems to l>e with them, that he shall
he a candidate for a party nomination
running in the rink with the rest, taking
his chances,, making his combinations,
and seizing every vote he can get. This
is not heroic, but it is practical. Grant
means business, a business of $50,000 a
year as President.
Everybody should remember that when
the census enumerator comes around
asking pertinent questions a refusal to
reply will subject the recusant to a fine
of “not exceeding $100." Even the
question as to age must be accurately
and promptly answered, however dis
agreeable may be the process.
The Atlanta Constitution sagely sug
gests that “wherever there are symptoms
of Independentism, the Democrats should
make nominations calculated to harmo
nize the party.” That should be the
policy of the Democrats under all cir
cumstances.
Ulysses Grant, Jr., says be is not going
to marry Miss Flood and her millions.
For the same reason, we suppose, that
Jack wouldn’t eat his supper.
Nothing, says the Nashville American,
so “ riles ” and exasperates the third
termer as to remind him of the unwrit
ten law. lie at once begins to climb
and to reach his forefinger forward and
upward in the way of progress and as
cension, as if he were trying to get him
self above all law, until he climbs to a
climax of pity and indignation, when he
tells his opponent that he don’t care a
continental for all the law, written and
unwritten—“The nation, with a big N,
by Jove, sir, is a law unto itself, sir, and
can make and unmake written and un
written law.’ : To refer to Washington
and to Jefferson throws one of them into
an ague, that one should suppose for an
instant that he don’t know more than
ever Washington or Jefferson knew.
Murat Halstead is putting in his very
best work against the third tenners in
Ohio. He predicts that Grant would be
swamped in that State if nominated, no
matter who the Democrats might run.
“The Germans,” he says, “almost to a
man. will cut Grant; thousands of them
who are always reliably Republican will
be found voting for the Democratic
nominee. The entire body of Jews are
against Grant in this city, and you kuow
they cast a large vole. I do not believe
there are a dozen respectable Jews in this
city who could be induced to vote for
Grant. With these influences in the
Republican ranks against him, what hope
could his groomers have of his winning
the race?”
The situation of the South is thus de
scribed by Mr. J. D. King, of Montgom
ery, Ala., in a published letter: “Fifteen
years have elapsed since the war between
the States, and yet the war is still waged
with more bitterness than during ’61 and
’65. An honest opinion cannot be ex
pressed but we are accused of secession
proclivities, and a desire to control the
Government of the United States. If
we arc silent, we are accused of indif
ference to the well being of the country
at large.”
CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
Washington, April 5.—in the Senate Mr.
Bayard, from the Committee on the Judici
ary, reported adversely on the bill to
facilitate the negotiations of bills of lading
and other commercial instruments and to
punish fraud therein. Indefinitely post
poned. The Senate then proceeded to con
sider the calendar.
Mr. Williams introduced a bill repealing
the statute which prohibits farmers and
planters from selling leaf tobacco directly
retail to consumers with a special tax.
Referred.
The bill granting a pension to Jesse F.
Phares, a scout, was laid aside until Mr.
Withers, who wishes to speak on it, shall be
present.
The bill to amend sections 2,262 and
2,801 of the Revised Statutes, so as to permit
affidavits required by those sections in con
nection with preemption and commuted
homestead entries to be made before county
clerk* instead of land registers or receivers,
was passed.
Tne bill authorizing a retired list of non
commissioned army officers of thirty years
service was opposed by Mr. Saulabury as
adding to a pension list already large
enough. Mr. Maxey advocated the bill
as a measure of justice to deserving
officers. Pending debate the morning
hour expired, and the Senate re
sumed consideration of tbe bill ratifying
the agreement with the Ute Indians.
Mr. Morgan opposed the bill. It would,
he said, take four million dollars out of the
Treasury, and was not well conceived. It
violated the act of 1871, which provided
that no Iudian nation, or tribe, shall be re
cognized as an independent.* nation, tribe, or
power, with whom the United States may
contract by treaty. The agreement
with the Utes was simply a treaty, and
plaiuly violated that law. The Supreme
Court tas frequently held that treaties with
Indians can be abrogated at the pleasure of
the government when public policy requires
it. Congress can dispose of the Utes
as it sees fit, but not by treaty.
He stated that the treaty of 1868
with the Utes contains provisions for the
entry of lands by Individuals for their
private use, quite as effectual as the provis
ions in this agreement, and he thought it
better to pass a bill requiring the Utes to
avail themselves of that right. This would
accomplish the desired object without a
violation of the statutes. Besides the legal
objections, he pointed out many defects in
the provisions of the bill, and intimated that
he would probably move to recommit it to
the Indian Committee.
I Mr. Dawes also opposed the bill. He
[thought it impossible for adult Iadlans to
change their habits and adopt civilized cus
toms. He would rather have the four mil
lions which that bill would cost devoted to
the education of Indian children in our lan
guage, ideas and customs. This would
gradually and peaceably solve the Indian
question. After an executive session the
Senate adjourned.
In the House, under the call of States, the
following were introduced and referred:
By Mr. Gibson, of Louisiana—Relative to
the appointment and pay of the Mississippi
River Commissioners; also, to entitle State
banks to circulate notes on the same condi
tions as national banks, provided they com
ply with the provisions of the National Bank
law relative thereto.
By Mr. Cox, of New York—A bill relative
do tbe appointment of clerks and officers of
[Federal courts as referees.
■By Mr. Davis, of Missouri—Requiring thel
[Postmaster General to mail on the first of
each month to every member of Congress an
itemized statement of all mail contracts
|made during the preceding month.r
By Mr. Chalmers—For the relief of the
ffieirs of colored soldiers.
■ By Mr. Armfleld, of North Carolina—To
pibolish the tax on spirits distilled from ap
ples, peaches, grapes and pears, and to re
duce tbe tax on spirits distilled from grain
or mixtures thereof, to twenty-five cents per
gallon, aud providing that producers of leaf
tobacco may sell the same in quantities of
not more than ten pounds at a time, with
knit a license.
By Mr. Kiug,of Louisiana—Amending sec
tion 22 of the Texas Pacific act.
At the conclusion of the call of States Mrl
Manning, of Mississippi, rose to a question
of personal privilege. He sent to the
clerk’s desk and bad read an article]
in the Washington Jbsl of Saturday last
relative to the action of Mr. Springer, of
Illinois, chairman of the Committee oiri
Elections, in the Doneily-Washburn eonC
tested election case. The article stated that
Mr. Meannlng charged Springer with du|
ilicity in that case, with deception of his
Democratic associates on the committee, as
to his attitude toward the contestants, and
with corruption, and stated furthermore
that Manning proposed to demand an in
vestigstion of Springer’s conduct. Mr.
Manning said he had made no charges and
(expressed no opinion with regard to Mr.
Springer’s conduct.
Mr. Springer then made a personal state
raent denying the truth of the charges re
ferred to. As to Mr. Manning’s denial that
he had endorsed such charges, it merely
raised a question of veracity between Mr.
Manning and the reporter of the Ihst. Mr.
Springer produced an anonymoua letter rel
ceived by him offering to pay his wife $5,000
if he would vote to keep Washburn in bis
seat in 6pite of the Democrats. He
had not suspected Washburn’s friends of
sending the letter, but regarded it as an
attempt on the part of Donelly’s friends to
bulldoze him because they learned he would
not vote to 6eat him. Sometime after he[
received a letter signed “ Henry A. Finley,’
a friend of Donelly, urging him, in the in
terest of the Democratic party, to vote for
seating Donelly instead of for a new elec
tion. Mr. Springer said the bandwriting of
this and the anonymous one were alike.
Finley claimed to speak for “those who
are, perhaps, personally most to be affected
by your (Springer’s) decision.” Springer
told Donelly that this letter purported to
speak in behalf of Tilden, but he (Springer)
would not be dictated to by anybody. Af
ter reciting these facts, Mr. Springer ex
plained his position in the committee, and
called on all the members, except Mr.
Manning, to corroborate his statement
that he bad given them to understand that
he would vote to unseat Washburn and
not to seat Donelly. All confirmed this,
but Mr. Armfleld stated that Mr. Springer
told him after the vote was taken that if his
vote could have seated Donelly he would
have given it, not daring to antagonize his
party. Mr. Springer would not ask an in
vestigation of his course, but was willing
that it be Investigated. He could not-help
it If Mr. Manning had been misled. He had
acted conscientiously.
Mr. Manning closed the discuspion. He
wished no controversy with Mr. Springer on
the question of duplicity, though he might
have much to say on’ that subject. He
thought Mr. Springer would not deny that
he had assured him often that he (Springer)

LATEST PARLIAMENTARY ELECTION RETURNS.
London, April 5.—At the Parliamentary
election in Middlesex to-day, Lord Hamil
ton and Octavius E. Coope, Conservatives,
were returned by large majorities. Herbert
Gladstone, son of Right Hon. W. E. Glad
stone, was defeated.
In the elections to-day Thomas C. Baring
(Conservative), of the firm of Baring Bros,
was re-elected for Essex, South; and Right
Honorable Robert Lowe (Liberal), Chancel
lor of the Exchequer in Mr. Gladstone’*
government, was re-elected for London Uni
versity. The total number of Liberal votes
polled up to the present time is 1,157,000.
The total number of Conservative votes is
817,000, showing a gain in corresponding
constituencies over the last election of 304,-
000 Liberal, and 99,000 Conservative votes.
Nine nominations were made to-day and
twenty-two pollings held. Hon. Wm. E.
Gladstone has been elected for Ediuburg-
shire and Midlothian, defeating the Earl of
Dalkeith by a vote of 1,579 to 1,368. Sir
Charles Reed is elected for 8t. Ives, a Lib
eral gain.
The Vail Malt Gazelle to-day says: “It is
estimated that the new House of Commons
vill consist of 317 Liberals, 271 Couserva
Ives and 63 Home Rulers. The Liberals
will thus have a majority of 46 over the
Conservatives, or of 109 with the Home
Rulers; but the Conservatives and Home
Rulers combined will outnumber the LIbe
rals by 17.”
A correspondent of the lall Mall Gazette
at Cork says Charles S. Parnell has declared
open war against Wm. Shaw, Home Rule
leader, by nominating Mr. Kettle, of the
Land League, against Messrs. Shaw and
Coltburst for the county Cork. Mr. Parnell
was accompanied to the Sheriff’s office,
where the nomination took place, by a
cheering mob.
The Times, in Its leading editorial this
mornlDg, speaks of the policy of the future
government* as follows: “The Liberal
Cabinet will maintain the treaty of Berlin
in accordance with the public opinion of
Europe and tbe policy of the great powers.
It will treat the Anglo-Tarkish convention
as the engagement of a contingent obliga
tion. Iq South Africa it may inquire
whether tbe annexation of the Transvaal
was not made in error,although the measure
was approved by Lord Kimberly and Mr.
Foster. The question ought to be treated
as an open one. The new government
should insist that the South African
colonies, whether they choose to
confederate for political purposes
or not, shall enter iuto such common en
gagements for military defense as shall re
lieve the raotht r country from charges for
native wars. When this policy in European.
Asiatic and South African affairs has been
carried out, a point will be reached at which
the Liberal Ministry, if it Is tempted or
forced to go further, must part company
with the moderate men. We do not believe
the Marquis of Harrington and other leaders
of the party will desire to go further, and
so far we can have no difficulty in accompa
nying them.”
FRENCH NOTES.
Paris, April 5.—The Countess of Paris
has been delivered of a son.
VEstafetle and L'Ordrt publish a letter
from Prince Jerome Napoleon on the de
crees against the unauthorized religious
confraternities. The Prince declares that
he cannot, without being false to
his, origin, show himself the enemy
of religion or of the revolution. He con
tinues : “ Decrees do not constitute perse
cution. They are only a return to an indis
pensable rule of public law. The fiction of
a conservative union has lasted too long.
There is nothing in common between the
Legitimists and ourselves. It Is time for
each one to resume his colors, traditions
and principles, and that all ambiguity should
cease.”
The Municipal Council of Paris has pre
sented Prof. Nordenskjold with a gold medal
struck in his honor. He was afterwards
received by Gambetta, and will dine with
President Grevy to-morrow.
THE INDIAN POLICT OF THE NEW BRITISH
ADMINISTRATION.
London, April 5.—The Tunes, referring to
tbe situation in Afghanistan, in connection
with the forthcoming accession of Liberals
to power, says: “Lord Lytton, present Vice
roy of India, is so identified with the pres
ent government and its Eastern policy that
he will undoubtedly be recalled, unless he
anticipates a recall by submitting his resig
nation. Lord Northbrook, former Gov
ernor General of India, Is suggested as
his successor, but it is understood he does
not wish to return to India. The new Vice
roy will undoubtedly be instructed to secure
peace in Afghanistan with the least possible
disturbance of our normal relations .with
that country. We shall hear no more of
the proposed cession of Herat to Persia,
and tbe entangling alliance which must
have attended it.”

DECREE IN A RAILROAD CASE.
Selma, Ala., Aprils.—Special Chancellor
W. C. Ward rendered a decree to day in
the New Orleans and Selma Railroad case.
The land Grabbers—On to Oklahoma!
It is stated that the headquarters of
the organization for the invasion of the
Indian Territory are located at Wichita,
Kansas, under the general management
of one Capt. D. L. Payne, lately a door
keeper in the House of Representatives
at Washington. The membership num
bers at this time at least 5,000 persons,
and is rapidly increasing. The ultimate
strength of the movement is fixed at
10,000 men, who are required to be ready
to move at four days’ notice, with
wagons, teams, household effects, and
agricultural implements, ready to make
permanent settlement and substantial
improvement upon arrival. The plan is
said to be not to move in one body
nor at one time, but by detachments
one following the other at such intervals
of time, aud striking the border at
such points as the position aud force of
the United States troops may render ad
visable and necessary. These attempts
are to be kept up until a lodgment is
effected. It is believed that the right of
ejectment can be enforced by the gov
.eminent only while crossing what is rec
ognized as Indian reservation, and that
if a lodgment is secured by any of these
detachments large enough for self-pro
tection, the question will be settled by
the acquiescence of the government, or
the matter will be brought before the
United States Courts, when the legal
status of the Territory in question will
be definitely decided.
Railroad Construction In the United
States.
A recent issue of the New York Com
mercial Bulletin presents four columns of
statistics setting forth in detail the ope
rations in railroad construction of the
last seven months. Wilhin this com
paratively brief period nearly 3,000 miles
have been built and 12,641 projected.
This makes a total of 15,612 miles com
pleted and under way for 341 roads. The
principal activity in railway entei prise
is in the West and Southwest, but large
undertakings are in progress in the South
as well as in the middle and
Eastern States. The increase of mile
age since September 1, 1879, equals the
entire amount for the three years 1869,
1870 and 1871—the most active period of
railway inflatjon in the history of the
country. These new railway enterprises,
it is estimated, will absorb $273,000,000
of capital. Such a diversion from ordi
nary productive employments to non
productive works in advance of the ac
tual needs of trade constitutes an impor
tant clement in the prevailing tendency
to high prices, and suggests a repetition
of the disastrous collapse of 1873, which
followed a corresponding epoch of infla
tion.
Can a murderer claim property willed
to him by his victim? This question is
now awaiting an answer by the English
courts. It will be remembered that one
De Tourville murdered his wife in the
Austrian Tyrol in 1876 by hurling her
over a precipice. She was wealthy, and
had-left a will giving her property to De
Tourville in the event that she died child
less. The murderer was tried in the
Austrian courts, his guilt established and
he was sentenced to death. For some
reason the sentence was commuted to
imprisonment for eighteen years. As
De Tourville is stiff a young man, it is
not unlikely that he will live to serve out
his term, and, if the courts so decide, to
enjoy his blood bought wealth. His
wife's relatives claim that he is not en
titled to derive benefits under the will to
which he gave effect by an infamous
crime, and have carried the question be
fore the English tribunals—De Tourville’s
wife being an English woman and her
property being in that country—for de
termination. The case naturally excites
some interest.
A New Industry.—The Legislature
of Virginia recently granted a charter
for the incorporation of a company to be
known as the “Virginia Angora Com
pany.’’ The capital of the association
is placed at $2,000,000, of which amount
$1,300,000 is said to have already been
subscribed. According to its charter the
company is permitted to hold in fee
200,000 acres of land, and to issue bonds,
but not without tbe consent of nine-
tenths of all the stockholders. A con
tract has been made with California par
ties to transfer their stock of thorough
bred Angoras to Virginia, and to furnish
also 20,000 ewe goats of original Maltese
stock, to be purchased in and brought
from Mexico. Although the industry
has been successful in California, yet the
conditions for success are so far superior
in the mountains of Virginia as to war
rant the transfer of the herds and an ei
penditure of about $200,000 in making
the transfer and in improvements.

He defended Donelly from Springer’s
imputations, and represented the ab
6urdity or supposing that Donelly
had any connection with the anonymous
letter. The matter was then dropped.
Mr. Weaver, of Iowa, obtained the
Speaker’s recognition, and moved to sus
pend the rules and adopt the resolutions,
setting forth that it is the sense of the
House that all currency, whether me
tallic or paper, necessary for the
use and convenience of the people,
shall be issued, and its volume
controlled by the government, and not by
bank corporations, and when so Issued
should be full legal tender for all public
and private debts; that the public debt
should not be refunded in long time, but be
kept payable as rapidly as possible, and that
to enable the government to meet these ob
jections the mints should be operated to
their utmost capacity in the coinage of
standard silver dollars and other coius re
quired by the business interests of the coun
try.
Mr. Garfield regarded the resolution as a
feeler put out to see what the political
aarties would do on the eve of the election.
He opposed it, and exhorted both parties
to 6how their courage by meeting rather
than by bowing before it. Mr. Kelly,
of Pennsylvania, advocated the reso
lution. Mr. Weaver denied that the
Greenback party favored repudiation or vio
lation of the public faith. In the name of
the laboring millions he asked that, the issue
of the circulating medium be taken from
the banks and restored to the government.
The resolution was defeated—yeas 84, nays
117, not the necessary two-thirds voting in
the affirmative.
Mr. Townshend, of Illinois, moved to sus
pend the rules and discharge the Committee
of Ways and Means from the further con
sideration of the bill placing salt, printing
type, printing paper and materials used In
the manufacture of printing paper on the
free list, and put it on Its passage. The
motion wa6 defeated—yeas 112, nays 80, not
the necessary two-thirds voting in the
affirmative. The House then adjourned.
THE AMERICAN UNION VS. THE WESTERN

the American Union Telegraph Company
vs. the Western Union Company, in the

full argument, Chancellor Austell dissolved

THE LONDON STOCK MARKET STRONG.
London, April 5.—The Times, in its finan

of uneasiness in the city lest the parties be
too evenly balanced lor either to form a
stable government, passed away Saturday,
and the 6tock markets were Btrong and
almost buoyant.”
CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE NOTES.
Washington, Aprils.—Tbe river and har
bor appropriation bill and the naval appro-
pria'ion bill have been completed by the
committees having them in charge, and will

St. Louis, April 5.—Three or four hun
dred printers struck to-day for $2 50 per

$2 and $2 25. Five bosses, who employ
about two hundred hands, have acceded to
the demand.
A Long Sentence.—The Texas Court
of Appeals has affirmed the judgment in
the case of W. L. Grissom, wherein he
was sentenced to the penitentiary for a
term of ninety-nine years by the Crimi
nal Court of Harris county for the mur
der of Dr. Brown something over
eighteen months since. This is the sec
ond appeal to this court, the case having
been once reversed.
gear Adi'erUsments.
It is now made evident that the lead
ers of the so called Head j lister party in
Virginia do not intend to join with the
Democrats in the support of a Presiden
tial ticket. A call has been issued for a
State convention to assemble on the 7th
of next July in Richmond. The date
fixed upou is subsequent to both the
Republican and Democratic national
conventions, and the caff is signed by
"Wm. Mahonc, Chairman.” Mahone
and his co-operators say they intend to
put in the field an independent electoral
ticket, but there are very good grounds
for the belief that they really contem
plate adopting the Republican electoral
ticket should Grant be the nominee of
that parly. The Democrats of Virginia,
in the belief that a secret affiance has
been arranged between the lteadjusters
under the lead of Mahone, and the Radi
cals are adopting measures for a thor
ough organization to bring out the Dem
ocratic strength, not without a confi
dent hope of defeating the selfish and
treacherous schemes of the arch in
triguer.
