TAPPING THE WIRES.
A Death Blow to Inflation.
Inflation and unlimited paper money
seem to have received their death blow
in the defeat of the resolution offered in
the House of Representatives on Monday
I by Mr. Weaver, a Greenback Represen
tative from Iowa. Mr. Weaver had been
trying for three months to get his little

Efforts to Solve the Indian Problem.
In the Senate yesterday, daring the morn
ing hour, Mr. Logan submitted a resolution
directing the Secretary of War to furnish
the Senate with any facts In his possession,
in reference to the recent outrages on the
negro cadet, Whittaker, at West Point. Con
siderable discussion ensued, and finally the
resolution weDt over without action. After
the morning hour, the Ute Indian agreement
bill was taken up and discussed to adjourn
ment. In the House, fifty or seventy-five
bills were reported adversely from the Com
mittee on War Claims, and were laid on the
table. Most of the day was spent in consid
ering, in committee of the whole, the prl
vate calendar. After the committee had
risen, Mr. Blount, of Georgia, introduced a
bill for the erection of a public building at
Macon, which was referred, and the House
then adjourned.
Charles Brockwav, a notorious forger, was
yesterday arraigned in the Court of General
Sessions of New York on four indictments,
The evidence against him not being suffi
clent to convict, he was discharged, but was
immediately rearrested and will be taken to
Chicago for trial on charges preferred
against him there. He is said to have vic
timized the Bank of the Republic, the Second
National Bank, and Fisk & Hatch, of New
York, for $300,000.
The 8enate yesterday confirmed the nomi
nation of James B. Angell, of Michigan, as
Minister of the United Spates to China, and
John F. Swift, of California, and William
H. Trescott, of South Carolina, as commis
sioners to assist the Minister in negotiating
a new treaty between China and the United
8tates.
The Irish associations of London have re
solved to unite and tender a public recep

Late reports from the Chili-Peruvian war
are to the effect that the Chilians had suffered
a defeat at Moquegua. It is also stated that
in the engagement of the 27th of Februarv
the Huascar and Magellan suffered more
than was at first reported. By the bom
bardment of Arica several non-combatants
were killed, but the Peruvian troops had
been moved to a place of safety.
The Democratic Senators met in caucus
yesterday to consider whether or not the
Kellogg Spoflford case should be acted on
at once, or whether necessary legislation
should be first attended to, and that case
left to take Its chances of going over until
the next session. The majority of the Sena
tors were in favor of the latter course, but
the minority urged a contrary policy with
so much force that it Is not unlikely they
will carry tljeir point.
Samuel Robinson, a negro murderer, was
hanged yesterday at Leesburg, Virginia.
He refused to make any confession, and
when the trap was sprung his neck wai im
mediately broken.
The hind truck of the rear car of the train
on the Bellaire and Southwestern Railway,
which left bellaire, Ohio, at 3:30 p.
Thursday, jumped from a trestle, when
about eighteen miles from Bellaire, and the
car went over a distance of fifteen feet.
Five or six passengers were injured more
or less seriously, and it was reported that
young Danford, a postal clerk, was killed.
The Bishop of Anglers, France, has in
duced the Archbishop of the diocese of
Tour3 and the Suffragan Bishop of the
archdiocese to unite in a letter to President
Grevy, protesting against the recent decrees
against unauthorized religious congrega
tions.
The Mobile firemen yesterday celebrated
their forty-second anniversary with the
usual parade. The display was very credit
able and satisfactory.
The steamer Mobile, for Liverpool, was
yesterday stuck on a bank of the river at
Mobile, waiting to be floated off on the tide.
Grant arrived in the city on a special train
from New Orleans. He was received by
colored artillery company, but there was no
popular demonstration. He returned to
New Orleans last night on a special traiD.
M. Krapothkine, brother of General
Krapotbkine, who was assassinated by the
Nihilists at Kieff, but who is himself the
editor of a Nihilist organ in Geneva, has
been requested to leave that city. He has
complied.
The Emperor’s reply to Bismarck’s request
to resign was so prompt as to preclude the
Idea that he gave the matter much reflec
tion. The Prince’s reasons for desiring to
resign were those already given, viz: The
danger to Prussia, Bavaria and Saxony of
beiDg outvoted in the Federal Council by
the petty States. He will probably come
forward with some scheme by which this
evil may be done away with.
No bets are being made against the negro
pedestrian Hart, as the winner of the New

Allen 432, Dobler 456 and H Ana water 373.
I 85 yeas to 117 nays. His resolution de
dared it to be the sense of the House j
that all currency, metallic or paper,
needed by the country ahould be uttered
I and regulated by the government alone,
thus making the government the only
banking power in the country, and con
verting Congress into a board of na
tional bank directors. The currency
so issued is declared to be a full
legal tender for all debts, public and
private. The second branch of the reso
lution declared against refunding and in
favor of the payment of the interest-
bearing debt now maturing and to ma
ture in 1881, in legal tender money, ac
cording to contract. As Mr. Garfield
showed, the first clause of the resolu
tion proposed the most sweeping sort of
centralization that was ever attempted to
be established in this country. Under
the second clause of the resolution, as
Messrs. Chittenden and Morton proved
by Mr. Weaver's own admissions, the sil
ver coin to pay off the maturing debt
was to be manufactured from bullion
purchased with greenbacks made at the
government paper mill, and issued as it
may be "necessary for the use and con
venience of the people.” Yet this meas
ure, extravagant and injurious as its terms
were, secured eighty five votes in the
House. As Mr. Garfield remarked,
• prior to 1862 the wildest dreamer in
American finance was never wild enough
to propose such a measure of centraliza
tion as that single proposition implies.’
We agree with the Baltimore Sun, that
to denominate such a measure a "finan
cial reform,” as Mr. Weaver does, is to
more than was returned bv Mr. Bailey
during the same period, lie says that
on account of the great expense of living,
there is not much inducement to an hon
est man to accept the position of United
States Consul. He seems to think that
his efforts in behalf of an hoDest ad
ministration of the United States con
sulates and of the exposure of corrupt
officials have not been appreciated, for
be says that he has received several re
bukes from the Department of State,
but not one word of encouragement. He
then says: ‘ ‘The reasons why I have not
returned are these: I have been threat
ened with dismissal for uncovering
frauds out here, and I want to give the
administration an opportunity of carry
ing out their threats, and thereby signal
izing their zeal for civil service reform
by punishing the only man whom they
have appointed to office who has tried to
reform it. I continue to hold the fort
here because I have not yet completed
my investigations, and if I were to re
sign now and go home the ring would
claim it as a victory for the thieves, and
say that I resigned under compulsion.
I shall show them that I will remain as
long as I choose.”

Washington, April 9.—Represen tative
Nicholls has introduced in the House a bill
appropriating $7,000 for cutting through
Romney marsh, just below Savannah. He
at the same time presented the memorial of
the Georgia and Florida Inland Steam
boat Company in favor of such an appro
priation for the purpose stated. The bill
and memorial went to the Committee on
Commerce. As heretofore stated, a strong
effort to secure this appropriation will be
made. It is somewhat doubtful if it will
succeed, as that committee has practically
completed its work for the present session.
A number of delegations from various
Indian tribes are now in the city. It is the
policy of the Interior Department to have
as many tribes, who may so desire, send
delegations to Washington, in order to con
sult about their affairs. The department
intends that each Indian shall take a tract
of land for himself—that is, that he shall be
allotted land in severalty—and thus induce
an idea of personal right, and discourage
the tribal feeling that has heretofore pre
vailed. In the Indian delegations, which
have so far visited the capital, this idea has
worked well. Secretary Schurz expect3 to
bring most of the nomadic tribes to this
way of thinking, and thus in a great meas
ure solve the Indian problem. The Crow
Indians, of Montana, and the Bannocks
and Shoshones, of Idaho, are the Indians
which are now being dealt with by delega
tions now in this city in the manner indi
cated.

the vote on Monday should at last con
vince Mr. Weaver and his friends that a
majority of Congress has taken the meas
ure of their folly and will have none of
it. It is high time that Congress got to
its regular business of law making, and
let abstract propositions, which do noth
ing but create alarm, mistrust and uncer
tainty, alone for the rest of the session.
The currency and debt payment ques
tions have been settled outside of Con

upon practical business considerations,
which are more valuable than average
legislative wisdom. As they are settled,
so let them remain.

Judge Aaron W. Sawyer, a prominent
Republican of Nashua, N. H., in
speech at a political mass meeting the
other day, charged the Republican offi
cials of the State of New Hampshire
with debauchery, and asserted that even
little Nashua boys took whisky to the
High School and endeavored to get the
girls drunk. He cited the case of a boy
of sixteen who was rapidly going to a
drunkard’s grave, and said the girls spent
their money at the confectioner’s buying
‘brandy drops.” He made the startling
assertion that there are eight whisky
sellers to every clergyman in New Hamp
shire, and he called attention to the fact
that a minister of the gospel, who is a
trustee for Dartmouth College, “drinks
and smokes in public places, and did so
the other day when he went to Masia-
ebusetts to assist in ordainiDg a young
man to the ministry.” This is certainly
a bad showing for the Radical State of
New Hampshire, where “the higher
law” reigns supreme and the people pride
themselves on their “advanced civiliza
tion” and “superior culture.” But to the
pure all things are pure.
The World, a London paper which re
tails social and political gossip, says the
Queen will be advised by Disraeli to
create a new Imperial order of merit for
civilians to reward several supporters of
the late government with honors of
various kinds, and to console defeated
Tory members for their discomfiture by
raising them to the Peerage. Among the
appointments predicted are the Marquis
of Ripon to the Lord Lieutenancy of
Ireland, and the O'Connor Don to the
Secretaryship. The latter gentleman is
beiDg opposed by a Parnell ite in Ros
common, and will probably be defeated,
and the new Premier will have to fall
back on Mr. Shaw Lefevre, a much more
radical gentleman.

adopted resolutions declaring that “We
welcome with genuine pleasure and un
mixed satisfaction the coming of Cincin
nati’s delegation, hoping that the occa
sion of their visit will enable
as a people to encourage and cultivate the ,
business and friendly relations existing be- |

country, shall understand the fullness of the

A New York letter of Tuesday says:
"There were gome immense transactions
in government bonds this morning, sup
posed on account of Mr. Wm. H. Van
derbilt, who is understood to be making
up a round $50,000,000 in securities of
this description before his departure for
Europe. The firm of Maxweli «& Graves
purchased $3,000,000 at 107J, which
brings Mr. Vanderbilt's present holdings
up to $46,000,000. There are few kings
or empeiors in the Old World or New
that could lay their hands, at a moment’s
notice, on so colossal a fortune—a fact
which but goes to show that, measured
by mere wealth, our American railroad
monarch is a much more important per
sonage than any of them.”

The Charleston News and. Courier con
cludes that the present combination be
tween the Louisville and Nashviiie,State,
Central and Georgia Railways will not be
so good for Savannah, hut will be better
for Charleston than the original agree
ment made between the Central and
Nashviiie and Chattanooga. It is led to
this opinion because the Georgia Rail
road is included in the present, while it
was not in the former arrangement, and
it reasons that therefore a good deal of
the freight from the West seeking a
South Atlantic outlet through this com
bination will go to "the city by the sea’
via Augusta and the South Carolina Rail
road.
We have no doubt that Charleston will
receive scone of this Western freight, but
our contemporary should bear in mind
certain important points, viz: that the
Louisville and Nashville magnates took
the trouble to come all the way to Sa
vannah with Presidents Wadley and Alex
ander; that they stayed here Dearly a
week; that when they left here they met
in Atlanta with Messrs. Wadley, Alex
ander and Brown, and there perfected
the combination, ail which is very con
clusive evidence that Savannah is to
be the South Atlantic port of the system.
Including the Georgia in the arrange
ment, therefore, amounts, as we stated
yesterday, really to giving Savannah a
very important and additional feeder,
and a double line of railway between
Atlanta and Millen on the Central Road.
These are simple facts.
The quadrennial session of the General
Conference of the Methodist Church in
the United States will be held in Cincin
nati, commencing May 1, and will proba
bly last nearly if not quite a month. The
Methodist Church is the largest Protest
ant denomination in America, and the
conference referred to represents the
largest branch of it. Among the mat
ters which will come before it, the most
important, perhaps, is the election of
new Bishops. Three Bishops have died—
Bishops Ames, Janes and Haven—and
there is a demand for Dew Bishops owing
to the increased work. It is thought that
at least four new Bishops will be elected,
and possibly five. Another matter of
great importance will be the considers
tion of a scheme for the reunion of the
two branches of the Methodist Episcopal
Church—the Methodist Church North
and the Methodist Church South; and a
kindred project is a proposition for the
fraternization of all the branches of
Methodism throughout the world.
Of Great Britain’s 31,628 000 inhabi
tants, only 3,000,000 are voters. They
elect a Parliament of 625 members. Of
our 48,000,000 population, about 8,000,-
000 are voters, and they elect a House of
293 members. Suffrage might be extended
100 per cent, in the United Kingdom
without reaching our approximation to
universality. It is probable that a ma
terial extension of this right will be one
of the reforms of the Liberal govern
ment. There are also greater inequalities
in the distribution of seals than are
known on this side of the Atlantic.
Hundreds, in some localities, have the
same representation as thousands in
other sections. A reform in this regard
is urgently demanded.
The New York Star of Wednesday
reasserts the story of Mr. Tilden’s with
drawal from the Presidential contest on
account of infirm health, but inti
mates that the alleged “advice of distin
guished physicians” is only “to cover a
decision arrived at from a thorough
hopelessness of even a decent struggle
for the nomination.” The Star is ex
ultant over the retreat of Tilden, and re
fuses to accept his nomination of Payne,
of Ohio, in his stead. Until the story is
confirmed by Mr. Tilden himself it will
obtain little credence among his sup
porters.
Some graceless fellow in Philadelphia
played an April fool joke with the Bible
used for swearing on at the Central Po
lice Court in that city. He removed the
inside from the covers and glued in the
printed portion of a dictionary. The
prank was not discovered until a large
number of oaths had been sworn on the
volume. An investigation is in process,
with a view to ascertaining how many
oaths have been taken since the book
was tampered with. It is stated in ex
tenuation of the offense that the Bible
was so old that it had almost tumbled to
pieces.
It is quite evident that but little love
is lost between Secretary Sherman and
Mr. Blsine. An impression got abroad
some days ago that either would support
the other against Grant, but it is now as
serted by Sherman’s friends that his en
forced withdrawal from the race would
not be to the advantage of Blaine—the
inference being that the Sherman votes
would be cast for Grant. Honest John,
believiDg Grant to be the strongest can
didate, is evidently making a bid for his
retention in the Secretaryship in the
event of Republican success.

Congressmen have regained the privi
lege of sending their letters free of post
age by the following ingenious device,
according to the Washington corre
spondent of the Philadelphia Times:
‘The only contingent appropriation
which Congressmen could in any way
use for that purpose was the sum of
$125, voted at each session to each mem
ber for stationary allowance; but now,
by a very ingenious construction of the
law relative to the franked envelopes
used by the different departments of the
government, it has been decided that
Congressmen can obtain from the Gov
ernment Printer, through the depart
ments, what are termed 'penalty envel
opes,’ which are envelopes that carry
the contents free, subject to a penalty of
a certain sum for misuse. These penalty
envelopes,according to the decision of the
authorities, may be used by Congressmen
in answer to any letters relative to matter
in the respective departments. This
comprises the great hulk of the corre
spondence of Congressmen. This regu
lation will, of course, give a very good
opportunity to test the elasticity of a
Congressional conscience."

Mr. Punch evidently looke upon Mr.
Gladstone as the leader of the incoming

cartoon of March 27, entitled ‘‘The

resented as halting in front of a guide

'Peace and Prosperity,” and “Peace
and Empire.” Mr. Gladstone and Lord
Beaconsfield are the guides at either

like a stern Roman Senator, and the

The Grant boomers claim that their
chief has already secured the Southern
Republican delegations to the Chicago
convention. If he gets the New York,
Illinois and Pennsylvania votes, where
will Blaine and Sherman be? It is un

doubt about his nomination on the first
ballot, he will not allow his name to be
used at Chicago. Elihu B. Washbume is
said to be the man who will step up
when Grant steps down.

The New York Times finds in the re
markable reduction of the public debt
during March ($14,719,006), certain sig
nals of danger ahead which prudent bu
siness men will heed. The reduction is
chiefly due to the great increase in im
ports (over 50 per cent.) and to the in
crease (27 per cent.) in internal revenue
receipts. These indicate that the coun
try is indulging largely in luxuries from
abroad, and also that it is consuming an
increased amount of home-made liquors
and tobacco, for these are the articles
from which the chief revenue is derived.
There has been no such reduction of the
debt since April, 1872.

London, April 9.—Regarding Prince Bis
marck’s resignation the Berlin correspond
ent of the Times says: “The Emperor
William has replied to the request of Prince
Bismarck precisely is was expected, and
1th a promptness which precludes the
idea of much reflection. On Tuesday after
noon the Prince’s petition was presented,
and an answer was returned on the
following day. Prince Bismarck
kept his own counsel up to the last
moment, and even took pains to conceal
his Intentions from his own family until the
public should become aware of the event.
On Saturday the meeting and vote of the
Federal Council had taken place, while on
Sunday and Monday the Chancellor sent
for and seriously remonstrated with certain
high Imperial officials who had ventured to
act much too Independently in the matter.
By Tuesday his mind was made up, and
drawing up his petition to the Emperor, he
dispatched It by his trusted Secretary in the
Foreign Office.
Semi-official communications complain of
a very lax attendance of the small States
in the Federal Council and of the evils re
suiting from the system of voting by proxies,
but these are surely more apparent than
real. The main thing in the eyes of the
Chancellor is the danger that Prussia,
Bavaria and 8axony will be out
voted by all the petty States com
bined, and the necessity of devising some
means of obllberatine this contingency
must exercise His Highness’ Ingenuity.
Meanwhile, until the Prince comes forward
with some definite scheme, It would be Idle
to speculate on the various ways in which
this might be done.
MOBILE FIREMEN’S PARADE—STEAMER |
STUCK—GRANT.
Mobile, April 9.—The forty-second anni
versary of the fire department was celt-
brated to-day by tbe usual parade. The I
streets were crowded with people, and the
turnout was as creditable as those of former |
years. There were five companies in line,
with their 6teamers and trucks richly adorn
ed, and a full complement of officers and
men. The weather was perfect, and the }
display gave great satisfaction.
The steamer Mobile has not yet been able |
to leave for Liverpool. 8he is stuck on
bank in the river waiting for the tide. Two I
or three tugg have failed in the attempt to j
pull her off.
At one o’clock to day General Grant ar
rived by special train from New Orleans,
and was received by a company of artillery
of tbe Washington Blues, colored. There ,
was no public demonstration of any conse
quence. He Is the guest of the Cotton Ex
change and was takeD to the Manassas Club.
He will be entertained by these gentlemen j
this evening, and hold a reception at the
United States Court room. He will return |
to New Orleans to-night on a special train.
RUSSIAN NEWS ITEMS.
London, April 9.—A dispatch from 8t.
Petersburg to the Daily 'News says : “The
departure of General Skobeloff for Central
Asia is still uncertain. The opinion If cur
rent In some circles that his movements will
depend on the change in the English Min
istry.”
The press bureau Is again very active, and
the position of journalists is therefore anx-
loas and difficult. No early change is In
tended respecting the Ministry of Public In
struction, and wise and liberal propositions
meet with persistent opposition.
Details are now furnished of the arrest of
the courier of Prince Liever, one of the Sec
retaries of State, charged with forging pass
ports. His wife is also seriously implicated
in revolutionary proceedings. Ninety-two
thousand roubles were found in their pos
session, and are said to be the proceeds of
the sale of about fourteen thousand fraudu
lent passports fabricated by them daring
the past eight years.
LIVERPOOL COTTON BROKERS’ CIRCULAR.
Liverpool, April 9.—This week’s circu
lar of the Liverpool Cotton Brokers’ Asso
ciation says: “ Cotton was active early In
tbe week and prices advanced, but on
Wednesday and Thursday business was very
limited at easier rates, and the market
closed without material change from last
week. American was in good demand and
good middling closed l-16d. higher than
last Thursday. In sea islands business was
small and quotations were unchanged.
Futures opened steady, and with more
active demand. Prices improved 5-32d. to
Monday afternoon: since then they have
been dull, and the advance was lost. They
closed steadier, with a recovery of l-32d.
for near positions. Later months are weak
and freely offered.”
