GEORGIA.
Her Past—Her Present-Facts and
Figures.
Editor Morning .Veu.t: There has been
some discussion as to whether our State is
growing poorer or richer. 1 propose, in th : s
article, to give some facts and figures, and
your readers can draw their own conclusions.
I care nothing wbat this cr that man may say,
but simply ask for facts. Theory is one thing,
facts altogether another.
In 13’iO, the tax iblo property of Georgia, In
dependent of slaves, was $309,747,9 value of
slaves, 5102,691,855, making a total value of
$012,322,777. Substracting our lostcs in ne
groes, value of lands, tha desolation of Cher
okee Georgia, tha loss of all kiuds of stock,
the turning cf our cities and homes, the de
struction of our railroads, loss of bank s’oek,
bends, notes, etc . etc., which went to make
up the wealth of the Slate, and wa have a total
lass of $625,905,355.
Subtracting our losses from $672,':22,777, the
property of 1860, and we had left according to
the first return after the war of only $ 116,357,422.
Some writer puts down the value of ail prop
erty in 1666 at a gold basis at $148,122,525.
Bitch was Georgia immediately after the war,
when sorrow, desolation aud poverty were our
inheritance.
According to tha last C unptroller General’s
report, the taxable property of Georgia was
given in at 2238,934.128, and in ItTS at $223 093,-
419, an increase of $i4,3'9.K9. V,\ have of
exempted property from taxation In factories,
furnaces and other industries, thirty-three in
number, $4.133,3,'5. the ilea of the State being
to encourage the budding of factories, etc., by
giving a tea years’ ex-mption—a good and
aplitic Idea-a substantial protection, inde
pendent c-f ail tariffs
r-übtracting $146,357,424. for year 18'6, from
$238 934.128, relurn for 188 ', and we have a gain
in wealth of $92,576,704; adding the $4,135,3*5
of exemoted property, ana we have a gain cf
$96,715,079.
Rut, Mr. Editor, cannot Georgia make a bet
ter showing than that? I hold that she can,
and will endeavor to prove it. Do our citizens
give in their property at its real valuation? I
have studied the question, and am satisfied
they do not.
To illuttrate: In talking with a gentleman
front a neighboring county on the subject of
ih© looseness, not to say the shamelessness,
with which men give in their property for
taxation, which, to my moral sense, savors of
perjury, he remarked: “I give in my lands at
$1 per acre, the same as my neighbors, though
I would not take sl2 per acre; but why should
£ give in my lands at that price when my
neighbors will n< t do the sa ne?'' Say his
neighbors: “Mr. Tianter owns fine lands, and
is a large planter, but he givts in his lauds at
slper acre, and why should we give ln ours
at a higher figure?” Thus each and every
man sinks his individuality and his
sen-e of truth behind his neighbor’s
oath;is<e9 how his neighbor sweats to
the value of property, and swears just
like turn. Emerson never gave txpi sssion to
a greater truth than when he said: "Men of
character are the conscience of th society to
widen they beiong or in which ihevmov*.’'
Rat it is unfortunate for the country, the whole
• ountry, tha’ the man who aro supposed to
have more character than the mass of the
people, because they htve more money, are
really wanting in that integrity, that nice
sense of truth *ni honor which should be the
great and impressive characteristic of men of
influence and w-alth “Mankind borrow their
manners from the great and grow great by
their examp e ’ Great men make a great
people, aud truthful and honorable men give
ton© and character to society.
Who believes that Georgia w th her produc
tiii s. her TOn.fiiO bales of cotton, her rice,
wheat, corn, potatoes, oats, etc., that her im
proved lands are worth on an average only
5? 9?, and that her uttimproved or wild lands
are worth only 23 cents? Yet such is the state
in-.-nt of the Comp roller’s report for 1880
Again. Georgia has a)I of her railroads and
more of them, has more bank", more mer
chandise, more sroc-, better cultivated lands,
and 500.000 more people than she had in 1860.
Why then should she be so much more poorer
than ia 1860, save only in the loss of negro pro
perty? In my opinion, Gt-oreia has to-day a
taxable property of $300,000,000 if fairly, truth
fully and justly given in. What we want, and
what many of the States have, are tax a*ses
sors—honorable men, brave m©n, just men,
men who without fear,favor or affection, would
e.-c es - the property of their respective counties
at a fair vaiua ion.
It is to be hoped that at the meeting of the
Legislature iu July, some member will Intro
duce a bill to appoint tax assessors.
Think for a moment, Mr. Editor, would any
man in his reuses bel-eve that Vanderbilt,
Astor, Gould,and one or two other millionaires
could buy out Georgia for $3*20,000.000? It i3
aa absurdity to thir-k of such a thing; yet, the
taxable property of our State is given in at
less than $-’40.000,000! Georgia is developing
fast, and she is growing richer every day.

LETTER FROM TALLAHASSEE.
Meetinz of the Legislature— Large
Influx of Mranzers— Nominations
for Legislative OtDccs.
Tillahassee, January s.—The capitol was
filled with members of the Legislature, office
seekers and axe-grinders on last Monday, the
morning of my arrival. Knots of anxious men
could be seen ia every earner, button-holing
same one o* the lawmakers and urging their
claims or pretensions with eloquence and per
tenacity. The names of those patriotically
willing to serve Florida would have filled tip
the muster rod of a battalion.
Tallahassee has changed but little In appear
anc© since the last se-sion. Of course, the
influx of strangers during a meeting of the
Legislature gives unwonted life and activity
to the little city. It is a biennial harvest that
Js carefully gleaned, and that is of service to
all classes cf the community.
On Monday afte-n-on tha Assembly held a
caucus for the nomination of officers, and
many of the aspirants were taken from the
anxious bench and placed among the mourn
ers Their selections were as follow*: Dr. W.
F. Bynum, of Live Oak, Clerk; Robert W.
Davis, of Duval. Assistant Clerk; Ja-'per N.
Gonzalez, of Escambia, Sergeant-at-Arms; R.
B. Whitfield, of Jefferson, Reading Clerk; F.
L. Rr bertson, of Hernanuo, Enrolling Clerk; '
C’ W Downing, of Hamilton, Engrossing
Cl-rk- W N. Baker, of Franklin, Recording
Clerk; G T. Denham, of Jackson, Doorkeeper.
Hon. J J Harris, cf Orange, was selected by
the caucus as Speaker. !
In th© Senate caucus, which was not held
until Tuesday afternoon, the following per
sons were eho en officers: Dr. W 11. Bat-cueic,
Duval county, Secretary; D. McAlpin, Suwan- t
nee. Assistant Secretary; L. Harrison, Colum
bia, Sergeant at Arm*; L. B. Womfcevell, Jack
son, Enrolling Clerk; T A. Carruth. Hillsbo

ton. Recording Clerk; Wm. Thomas, Wakulla,
Messenger; Wm. Beard. Leon, Page; M 0. j
Burns, Jefferson. Doorkeeper; U. cle Tom
Mason, Janitor; Rev. E. L. T. Blake, Chaplain.
A pressure c*f business prevents a longer
letter at present. In my next, I propose to
give your readers a sketch of the inauguration
ceremonies, the organization of the Legisla
ture, and other matters of interest.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL j
JUDGE WOODS’ SUCCESSOR IN
THE FIFTH CIRCUIT.
Tbe Government and the Freed
m&n’e Bank 8111-Congrcseioual
Pro teed Inge—The Funding BUI
Under Discussion lu tbe House—
The Secretary of the Navy.
Washington, D. C., January 6—lt is
leareed to-night beyond the shadow of a
doubt that Judge Woods’ successor as
United States Circuit Judge for the Fifth
Circuit will be Judge Edward C. Billings,
of New Orleans. His nomination will be
sent to the Senate in a day or two. Judge
Billings is at present United States District
Attorney for Louisiana.
A bill is pending for the purchase by tbe
government of the Freedman’s Bank build
ing In this city. Senator Bruce is confident
of the early passage of the bill, and has
prepared one to follow it, which provides
for the distribution of the money realized
by tho purchase pro rata among the de
positors.
SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
In the Senate, Mr. Eaton, from the Com
mittee on Appropriations, reported with
amendments the consular and diplomatic
appropriation bill. Placed on the calendar.
The Senate then proceeded to consider
the calendar, the first bill being one to pun
nish tramps In the District of Columbia.
Pending debate thereon, the morning
hour expired, and the army appropriation
; bill was read twice aud referred to the Ap
propriations Committee.
The Senate then resumed consideration
of tho blil for the relief of Ben Holliday,
which was supported by Messrs. Garland
and Teller, and opposed by Messrs. Mor
rill, McPherson and Wallace. Pending the
conclusion of the debate, the Senate, at 4
p. m., went Into executive session, and,
when the doors were reopened, adjourned.
HOUSE PROCEEDINGS
In the House, cn motion of Mr. Tucker,
of Virginia, the morning hour was dis
pensed with, and at 12:20 the House went
into committee of tlie whole (Mr. Covert,
of New York,in the chair), upon the funding
bill. The only arrangement in regard to
i the limitation of debate was that which was
made before the holidays, which limited
general discussion to one day.
Mr. Kelly, of Pennsylvania, look the floor
in opposition to the bill. It bad been stated
that the only question presented was whether
Congress would have the sagacity and hon
esty to borrow at 3 per cent, the money re
quired to pay bonds which wore carrying 6
and 5 per cent, interest, There had never
been a more misleading statements made to
Congress and the country. The reai ques
tion which would come up was whether the
government could not pay this debt with
out borrowing money. Sixty millions a
year for ten years would pav It. For fif
teen years th© government had paid an
average of within three milliocs of that
amount, and in the year just closed it had
pa’d nearly seventv-four millions. Wss it,
| then, necessary for the government to
borrow money to pay six hundred and
j thirty-seven million dollars in the next ten
or eleven years? He was lu favor of
temporary loans—loans redeemable in one
or two years, to supply any deficiency,
should any be found in the current revenues,
at the hinge of which he had no apprehen
sion, and he would shortly ark for a vote on
his bill ro authorize such loans.
Mr. Weaver, of lowa, opposed the M l,
arguing that there were fifty millions of
silver dollars in the Treasury which should
be used in the payment of” bonds, nd be
gave notice of an amendment authorizing
the Secretary of the Treasury to devote ail
the silver In the Treasury vaults to this
purpose.
Mr. Chittenden, of New York, stated
that he would, at the proper time, offer au
amendment, repealing all the acta imposing
a tax on the capital and deposits of savings
banks, national banks. State banks and
private bankers, providing that the lax
on circulating notes of national banks Is
sued on bonds authorized by this act shall
not exceed one-half of 1 per cent, and pro
viding futber that tbe total amount of silver
dollars of 412 J-J grains, authorized uud©r
the act of February 2Stb, 187S, shall not
exceed $100,000,000^
Mr. Chittenden then spoke ateome length
: in support of his amendment, the rnaiu
. point of which, he said, was that it reduced
the tsx on circulation issued upon the 3 per
cent, bond to one-haif of tbe present rate.
This be believed to be an indispensable con
dition of the success of the 3 per cent,
funding blil. Unless the banks should be
encouraged to buy these bonds, the prospect
of disposing of them would be poor.
Mr. MeLane, of Maryland, opposed the
blil in its present shape, being persuaded
that there was no necessity for it. He
thought it should be so modified as to carry
j out the views cf the Secretary of the Trea
; eury, as set forth in his last annual report.
Mr. Springer, of Illinois, declared him
self opposed to the bill unless it should be
considerably modified. He thought the
public debt could be paid off without any
increase of taxation mueh more rapidly
than this bill proposed. He favored bonds
to run a shorter time.
Mr. Lonneberry, oi New York, opposed
the general features of the bill. He was in
favor rather of paying tbe bonds as they
fall due than of refunding them.
Mr. Mills, of Texas, argued against the
bill, declaring himself opposed to the issue
of long term bonds.
Mr. Phillips, of Missouri, spoke briefly in
I favor of the bill, which he proposed to offer
as a substitute for the funding bill.
Tbe committee then rose, Mr. Tucker, of
Virginia, stating that he would on Satur
day move to go into committee to consider
the funding bill ty sections.
The Ilcuie then adjourned.
SECRETART OF THE NAVY.
The President to day sent to the Senate
the nomination of Nathan Goff, Jr, of
W©et Virginia, to be Secretary of the Navy.
The nomination of General Goff caused
general surprise, except to a few who knew
of tho President’s intention to make it.
When the nomination was presented to the
Senate, General Goff was at tbe capitol in
the room of tbe Benate Committee on Ap
propriations. He is a native of West Vir
gin! i, residing at Clarksburg, and is
forty years of age. He was Colonel
of the Third Virginia Regiment in the Union
arm}', and rose to the rank of Brigadier
, General during the war. He earned the
reputation of a gallant and able commander.
He baa been United States District Attorney
of West Virginia for twelve years. Four
years ago he was the Republican nominee
fur Governor, and it is said ran ahead of
his ticket considerably, but was of course
beaten by the Democratic nominee, Gover
nor Matthews.

SAVANNAH, FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1881.
RETURN OF CAPTAIN EADS.
Tbe Proposed Canal Across tbe
Istbmus of Teliuantepee—Liberal
Concessions from tbe Mexican
Government—Tbe United states
Expected to Endorse tbe Plan.
New Orleans, January 6. —Captain Jas.
B. Eads returned yesterday from Vera Cruz
as the guest of tbe Mexican war steamer
Independence. Regarding the success of
Captain Eads’ visit to Mexico, in connec
tion with Lis contemplated canal across the
isthmus of Tehuantepec, the Danocrat to
day will publish the following:
“Captain Eads proposed to go up the Usu
panapa river some distance to select his
road and thus save a considerable distance
by using thie river and the Coatzacoatcos,
Into which it flows, as well as the lagoons
on the other side. The distance across the
isthmus to the Pacific will be reduced from
145 miles by rail to 100. The Mexican Gov
ernment manifested a most liberal feeling.
He secured for the company which he
may form concessions of the most
generous character. During the delibera
tions there was not the slightest obstacle
placed in the way of coming to a prompt
and satisfactory conclusion. Tte govern
ment gives to Capt. Eads’ company the
right to butid a ship railway across the isth
mus; grants it one million acres of land on
the shore of the Pacific on which to build
the terminus of the railroad and establish a
harbor; empowers it to charge and collect
a toll of five dollars per ton on the freight
of a ship and cargo parsing over the road.
The right is also given for a railroad and
telegraph line, on which only tbe
customary rates can be charged.
In return for this Captain Eads
agrees to carry on the railways ail ships of
war, munitions, mails, etc., free of charge.
The building of the road irnißt be commenc
ed within two years and be completed in
ten years from May Ist, 1831. One of the
remarkable features of the grant Is that,
con'rary to her custom, Mexico will
allow Captain Eads to secure the
aid <f foreign governments to guar
antee dividends, and Captain Eads
is satisfied that the United States Govern
ment will indorse the plan up to $50,000,-
000. Ex-Preeident Diaz is a hearty sup
porter of the scheme, and has been one of
its warmest advocates.”
Captain Eads left for Washington last
evening in company with Captain Vega and
other officers of the lndepcndencia, who
are his guests.
TIIE NEW VORK CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE.
Important Subjects Under Dlscus
slon-Tbe Regulation ol Railroad
road Charges—Encouraging Com
petition—Resolutions Submitted.
New York, January 0. —At a meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce to-dav the spe
cial committee on railroad transportation
submitted a long report on the railroad
problem, which was adopted. It sets forth
the importance of proper legislation to regu
late railroad charges, discusses the two
railroad bills now before Congress, known
as the Reagan bill and the Henderson bill,
and urges the necessity of encouraging
competition aud preventing the organiza
tion of pools and combinations. It shows
that the advance In the freight rates
of 8 cents per hundred pounds upon the
grain crop of the West, is equivalent to an
export tax of $75,000,000, which comes out
of the pockets of the producers. In con
clusion, the committee submit the following
resolutions:
lie-solved, That the public welfare urgently
demands that commerce by railroad
should be controlled and regulated;
that such regulation should take the
form of, first, positive laws, de
fining public rights; znrt second,
a supervision by au executive power to see
that these laws are carried into effect; that,
with Inter State commerce, these laws and
supervision should be provided for by Con
gress, aud for those railroads exclusively
within the jurisdiction of a State similar
action should be taken by the Legislature
of that State.
Resolved, That of the measures now pend
ing iu Congress for the regulation of Inter-
State commerce, tho bill kuown as the
Reagan bill, in the opinion of this Chamber,
is the one best calculated to protect tbe
public interest, and that it should become a
law without unnecessary delay. Be it
further
j ßesolved, That an additional and separate
bill, not inconsistent with the provisions of
the Reagan bill, should be passed, providing
for a National Board of Railroad Commis
sioners to see that all laws of tbe United
States relating to railroads are duly execu
ted, and generally to supervise the opera
tion of inter State railroads.
NORTH CAROLINA.
Message of Governor Jarvis to tbe
Lettlulature--— The Relations Be
tween the Whites anti Blacks.
Raleigh, N. C , January 6 —Governor
JarvL, In bis message to-day, ipeaks in
warm terms of the relations existing be
tween the blacks and the whites, and 6ays :
“The colored people, I am glad to say, are
becoming more industrious and thrifty."
He refers with satisfaction to their industrial
fairs, held at Raleigh, and to the favors and
encouragement bestowed upon these exhi
bitions by the whites. He regards it an im
perative dury that the whites should see
that in all things full and equitable justice
be done the blacks, and that tbe blacks are
not left to work out their own destiny
alone.
The Governor favors greater provision
for the public schools and recommends
putting the school tax at 25 cents on the
one hundred dollars’ worth of property.
Of convicts, he says: “The entire nu:n
ber on October 30th was 993, which
is considerably less than at the
close of any of three previous years. Tbe
workings of the system are satisfactory.”
He speaks hopefully of the prospects of in
creased immigration, and refers with ap
proval to the scheme to utilize railroad
grants and adjuncts to the roads. He takes
ground in favor of the prohibition move
ment, lecotnmends appropriation for cen
tennial celebrations, and submits, without
recommendation, the propositions to com
promise the construction bonds issued for
the North Carolina Railroad and lease the
Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad.

PARLIAMENTJN SESSION.
THE SPEECH FROM TIIE THRONE
Her Majesty’s Foreign Relations—
What She Says of Irish Affair*—
Lively Demonstrations In tbe
House of Commons—Mr. Gladstone
Gets Warmed Up—Beaconsfleld’s
Denunciation In the House of
Lords.
London, January 6, 2 p. m.—The ap
j proaches to both houses of Parliament are
crowded. A great many members are pres
j ent in the House of Commons, including
several of the traversers now on trial in
Dublin.
The weather is fine.
The following ia the Queen’s speech de
livered on the opening of Parliament to
day:
My Lords and Gentlemen: I have called
you at a period earlier than usual to the re
sumption of your labors, as some affairs of
I more thau common urgency demand your
attention. My
RELATIONS WITH FOREIGN POWERS
i continue to be friendly and harmonious.
! The main question, relating to the frontier
j between Turkey and Montenegro, has been
settled, and the powers are now engaged in
| communications which have in view the de
i termination of the frontier between Turkey
Sand Greece. Some important portions of
the treaty of Berlin, which have so long re
mained without fulfillment, continue to
i form the object of my anxious attention.
TnE RISING IN THE TRANSVAAL
has recently Imposed upon me the duty of
: taking military measures, with a view to
: the prompt vindication of my authority, and
have of necessity set aside for any time the
plan for securing to the European settlers
j that full control over their own local affairs,
j without prejudice to the natives, which I
! had been desirous to confer.
I regret that the war In Basutoland con
tinues, notwithstanding the efforts of the
; Cape Government. It would cause me
I much satisfaction If a suitable occasion
! should present itself for friendly action on
| my part, with a view to the restoration of
peace.
THE WAR IN AFGHANISTAN
j has been brought to a close, and with tho
exception of the Candahar force my troops
have been recalled within the India frontier.
It is not my intention that the occupation of
Candahar 6hall be permanently maintained,
but the still unsettled ccudlilonof the coun
try and the consequent difficulty of estab
lishing a Dative government have delayed
for a time the withdrawal of my army from
that position.
MILITARY ESTIMATES.
The papers on the several subjects to which
; I have adverted, as well as further corres
i pondence on the military estimates of India,
will be presented to you. Gentlemen of tho
j House of Commons, the estimates for ser
vices for the coming year are in a forward
state of preparation and will be speedily laid
before vou.
My Lords aud gentlemen, there has
been a gradual though not very rapid im
i provement In the trade of the country, and
I am now able to entertain a more favora
i ble expectation of the revenue for the year
than I could form at its commencement.
IRISH AFFAIRS.
The anticipation with which I last ad
dressed you, of a great diminution of the
I distress in Ireland, owing to an abundant
: harvest, was realized, but It grieves me to
state that the social condition of the coun
j tiy has Resumed an alarming character.
1 Agrarian crimes in general have multiplied
far beyond the experience of recent years.
Attempts upon life have not grown In the
1 same proportion as other offenses, but I
! must add that efforts are being made for
personal protection, far beyond all former
| precedent, by the police, under direction of
j the Executive. I have to notice other evils
yet more widely spread. The admlniatra-
I tion has been frustrated with respect to
these offenses, through the impossibility of
procuring evidence, and an extended 'sys
tem of terror has thus been established in
various parts of the country, which has
paralyzed almost alike the exercise of pri
vate rights and the performance of civil
duties.
In this state of things, new in some im
port ant respects, and lienee wifh little
available guidance from former precedent,
' I have deemed it right to put in use
I the ordinary powers of tbe law
; before making any new demand, but
the demonstration of their insufficiency,
amply supplied by the preecut circum
stances ot the country, leads me now to
: apprise you that a proposal will be imme
diately submitted to you for entrusting me
with the additional powers necessary In my
judgment, not. only for the vindication of
! order and public law, but likewise to secure
on behalf of my subjects protection for life
and property and personal liberty of action,
subject to the primary and imperious obli
gations to which I have just referred. I
continue to desire not less thau heretofore
; to prosecute the removal of grievances and
the work of
LEGISLATIVE IMPROVEMENT IN IRELAND,
as well as to Great Brita'D. Tbe Irish land
act of 1870 has been productive of great
| benefits and has contributed much to the
I security and comparative well being of the
i occupiers of the soil without diminishing
the value or disturbing the foundation of
I property. In some respects, however, and
| more particularly under the strain of recent
j aud calamitous years, the protection which
it supplied has not been found sufficient,
! either in Ulster or in other provinces.
I recommend you to undertake the fur
ther development of Its principles In a man
; uer conformable to
THE SPECIAL WANTS OF IRELAND,
both as regards the relation of landlord and
tenant, and with a view to effective efforts
for giving to a larger portion of the people,
by purchase, a permanent proprietary.inter
est in the soil. This legislation will require
the removal, for the purposes in view, of all
obstructions arising out of limitations on the
ownership of property, with due provision
for the security ot the Interests involved.
A measure will be submitted to you for
the establishment of county governments in
Ireland, founded upon representative prin
ciples, and framed with the double aim of
confirming popular control over the ex
penditures, and of supplying a yet more
serious want by extending the formation of
habits of local self-government.
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS.
Bills will be laid before you for the aboli
tion of corporal punishment in the army
and navy. You will be asked to consider
measures for a further reform in the law of
bankruptcy, for the conservancy of rivers
and the prevention of floods, for revising
the constitution of endowed schools and
hospitals in Scotland, for the renewal of the
act which established secret voting, and for
repressing corrupt practices, of which, in a
limited number of towns, there were
lamentable examples at the last general elec
tton.
I trust that your labors, which will be
even more than usually arduous, may be so
guided by Divine providence aa will promote
! the happiness of my people.
DEMONSTRATIONS IN THE HOUSE OF COM
MONS.
In the House of Commons, on reassem
bling for the evening sitting, the attend- '
ance was very large. Mr. Goshen was pres- !
ent. The Mtniaters on entering the House
were cheered by their supporters. When
Mr. Gladstone entered, Immediately after
him came Mr. Parnell, both of whom were
loudly cheered by their respective parties,
the Home Rulers being especially demon
strative.
Mr. Forster, Chief Secretary for Ireland,
gave notice that oe would move to-morrow
a bill for the better protection of persons
and property in Ireland; also a bill respect
ing carrying arms. Cheers greeted the an
nouncement of these measures.
Mr. Parnell gave notice that he would
oppo?© these bills.
M:\ Gladstone announced, amid cheers,
that h. would move on Monday next that
the bill that had just been announced
should have precedence every day over all
other business motions until they were
passed.
Mr. Parnell gave notice that he will
shortly call attention to the relations be
tween England and Ireland, and that he
would move a resolution.
Mr. Labouchere, advanced Liberal, said
that he would shortly move that a heredi
tary Chamber cannot be a permanent insti
tution.
Mr. Parnell gave notice that he would
move for a select committee to lnauire into
the alleged outrages m Ireland.
Mr. John Simons, Liberal reformer, gave j
notice that he would move tbe restitution
of th© Transvaal.
Various questions as to the legality of the !
proceedings against the members of tbe
Land League were announced, Including \
two by Mr. Parnell.
Mr. Parnell also gave notice of an amend
ment to tiie address to the Queen, declaring
that peace can be promoted by the suspen- i
tlon of tbe constitution.
Mr. Justin McCarthy gave notice of an
amendment to the address, as agreed upon !
by the Home Rule members, praying the '
Queen to refrain from employing the navy,
police and military la enforcing ejectments
where the rent exceeds the poor law valua
tion, pending the consideration by Parlia
ment of tbe land bill.
Sir Stafford Nortbcote said he could not
congratulate the government on the state
of affairs in the East. He attacked the gov
ernment for abandoning the Irish peace
preservation act, and for not resort
ing to coercion long ago. The gov
ernment had broken down in Ire
land, and the mischief done was
Incalculable. The government had been
guilty of criminal neglect* He refused to
believe that any tinkering of the land laws
would effectually settle the question. Th#
information had reached him that cot a
tenth part of the outrages committed were
reported, and that the mischief was grow
ing.
Mr. Gladstone replied that there was no
serious difficulty to apprehend In regard to
the Greek frontier question. Every step
that had been taken had been taken in con
cert with the other powers, which was the
best method for a solution of the question.
The government was not responsible for the
Basuto war. The late government had not
recommended a renewal of the Irish peace
preservation act. If there was any censure
in connection with the subject It‘belonged
to tbe late government and not to the
government which only succeeded to the
office when the act had lapsed, and which
could ODly renew It. As to the accusation
against the Executive, it was a fact that
wherever they had prohibited a meeting
that meeting was held. The government
thought they were bound to try the effect
of existing laws. They had not, like the
late government, arrested three insignifi
cant persons who were never brought to
trißl. Crime and violence had pievailed in
Ireland to a far greater extent than now.
He would not admit that the land act of
1870 had altogether failed, but he did admit
that new provisions were requisite as to the
assignment of a tenant’s interests, and that
the clauses intended to give full scope to tbe
experiment of creating a peasant proprietary
had been insufficient and almost inoperative.
The government did not see their way to
dealing with tbe borough franchise in Ire
land at this session.
Mr. Gladstone concluded by saying the
! government were addressing themselves to
the task in which, on account of human
i weakness, they might fail, but which would
redound to the honor and happiness of all
: if they succeeded.
THE HOUSE OF LORDS.
In the House of Lords to night the Earl
of Beaconsfield, although he disclaimed the
intention of entering upon any argument,
made a long speech. He declared the ac
cession of the present government had
unsettled everything in Europe, Asia and
Ireland by reversing the policy of their pre
decessors, at the time of whose overthrow
peace was assured. lie strongly denounced
the conduct of the government in waiting
until the last moment to propose repressive
measures iu Ireland, and said circumstances
warranted an amendment to the address
iia that sense, but the state of Ire
land required speedy measures. He
I therefore recommended that the House pro
j ceed immediately to discuss ministerial
I measures for restoring liberty to the long
i suffering subjects of the Queen.
After Lord Granville and others had
| spoken, the address in reply to the speech
from the throne was agreed to.
“AN ANOMALY OF SATIRE.”
The Coutiuuaiice of the State Trials
—The Queen’s Bench Ignored—A
National Convention of tbe Land
League—The “Pall Mall Gazelle'’
and the “Three F’s.”
London, January 6.—A dispatch from
Dublin to the Times says the effect of such
an anomaly of satire upon the constitution
as the continuance of a criminal trial in the
absence of the accused men can hardly be
favorable to the administration of justice.
Tbe people will only see that Mr. Parnell
and his associates care as little for the
Queen’s Bench as for the law itself, and
ignore its authority when it Interferes with
i the pursuit of their political objects.
It is reported that the Land League will
summon a national convention at Dub
; lia to decide upon what course to pursue in
regard to the vovetnment land bill.
The Pall Mall Gazette this evening, in a
| leading article, says: “Unless Mr. Glad
stone can deduce unknown and unexpected
; principles from the land act of 1870 which
would practically include the ‘three
' f’s’ promised, ‘the legislation tup
i plementary to that act will be
I disappointing not only for the Radicals
or advanced Liberals, but for the moderate
Liberals, and even many Conservatives. A
bill that fails short of the ‘three f’s’ will
j certainly prolong with circumstances of
j bitterness and exasperation the campaign
: of the Land League, and may possibly pro
duce a momentary outbreak of furious
violence.”
The same paper, noticing the absence
from the Queen’s speech of any expression
of confidence that the Greek question will
be speedily settled, says: “If the prospects
of au amicable solution are invisible to the
Ministers, it is to be feared that they are
not good.”
Dublin, January C —With the departure
of the traversers to London, interest in the
State trials seems have collapsed, and the
court room Is deserted by the usual audience.
This morning’s proceedings consisted mere
ly of tbe reading of the speeches made by
the traversers.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
The True Cause of the Late Hr.
| Akermau’s Resignation from Gen
eral Grant’s Cabinet—Foster aud
Garfield.
Washington, January 3.—Since the death of
Hon. A. T. Alcerman, of Georgia, a number of
reasons have been given in the public prints in
| explanation of his retirement from Grant’s
i Cabinet. None of them are correct, nor ap
| proach accuracy in the slightest degree. The
' true reason of his resignation can be given
shortly, and it is illustrative of the character
jot the man. Akerman was a good lawyer
( and when he made a legal decision it was
! always correct. He was Attorney General.
I Delano, one of Grant’s pets, was Secretary of
j the Interior. The Interior Department has
general jurisdiction of tire government’s in
; terest in railroads. Delano was a joi ber—a
| trickster—always ready with open hand to
j receive money from anybody who had busi
! ness before the department over which Grant
; had placed him. He, of course, became
j the tool of Jay Gould and the
j Pacific railroads. E/erything they want
; ed they could have. The law making
| the land grants to these roads provided for a
! sinking fund to insure the government against
! loss on the interest of their bonds, for which it
I was responsible. There was a flaw in the bill,
j no doubt adroitly manipulated by the jobbers
| who thrived so under a Republican majority
!ia both houses. Delano, acting upon this
little flaw, and under the pay of the rail
roads, decided that the requirements in regard
to the sinking fund could not be carried out.
Such a question as that had, however, to be
carried to the Attorney General of the United
States before a final decision could be said to
have been had. Delano and Grant both thought
: that,knowing their wishes in the matter, Aker-
I man would support the position taken by the
I former. But he did not. He went into an in
j vestigation of the subject, and made a decision
that there was no reason why the Pacific rail
roads should not be compelled to fulfill the
j law. He explained away the flaw that Delano
hung upon, and said that the roads should be
j held to an important observance of Its provis-
I ions. Delano and Grant tried to change Aker
man’s decision before it was publicly an
nounced. He would not hear of it. They then
tried to suppress the opinion, but Akerman,
after calm reflection, wrote out a full abstract
of the decision and gave it to the press. Jay
Gould acd the railrosd cormorants caine
on to Washington. They worked upon
Grant and Delano—most pliable ma
terial—and demanded that something should
be done. Delano, especially, was active in
trying to get Mr. Akerman out of the Cabinet.
J That gentleman, of course, could see how the
I land lay. He promptly wrote out his resigna
; tion, and it was as promptly accepted. The
i Pacific railroads went on evading the law un
j til Senator Thurman framed his bill and se
| cured its passage, requiring them to fulfill
| their contracts with the government. This bill,
j the constitutionality of which has been con
! firmed by the Supreme Court, enacted exactly
what Mr. Akerman, as Attorney General, had
• decided eight years before. This is the only
! correct statement as to why Mr. Akerman left
; the Cabinet that has been made.
In this connection let me state a rather curl
! ous fact. Akerman, as an Attorney General,
was not popular in “society” at Washington.
I He was a plain man in taste, an l never
i put on any style. He gave no
receptions, attended no swell affairs, and
| lived the life of a sober old bachelor; his wife
I and family were here only two of the months
that he was Attorney General. He courted no
body’s favor, but simply attended to the duties
of his office. Now, this is all right among the
people of the country, but it by no means suit
ed the swell mob. They denounced him. The
women of the swell mob talked with Mrs. Grant
j and the “ladies of the Cabinet” against him.
! One of Akerman's chief failings in tbe eves of
j the fashionable world was his carriage. It was
an old-fashioned affair, but substantia). Tbe
j two horses looked as if they were just from the
plow, and the driver was a plantation Georgia
negro, and, horror upon horror, he wore no
livery, nor was there any footman attached to
the equipage! In short, Mr. Akerman’s life
here was about the same as he would have pur
sued at his home in Georgia, and he didn’t
care a cent for what anybody said about
him. The curious fact that I wanted to
| mention was that while Akerman’s un-
I fashionable life and common equipage
! were an eye sore to Washington society, his
successor Williams was ruined by his extrava
gance and “style,” and wrecked*in an elaho
■ rate vehicle for which the government paid,
| and for which he is known the breadth of the
| land as “Landaulet” Williams.
FOSTER AND GARFIELD.
It is being stated that Governor Foster, of
I Ohio, will have no influence with the Garfield !
; administration. It is also stated that Garfield i
I will ignore Ohio in making up his Cabinet, j
j There may not be an Ohio man in the next |
! Cabinet, but it will not be because Garfield will !
i ignore all Ohio men. There is one man from ,
that great State who can get anything he wants. :
and that man is named Foster. He withdrew
i from tho Cabinet with Sherman for the Ohio ]
Senatorehip more because Garfield wanteff him I
: to than for any other reason. That would give I
i him a strong hold on the next administration,
but it is not where his real strength with it
: lies. It is a matter of dollars and cents be
tween them. Foster 1? very wealthy. When
Garfield was nominated at Chicago there was
a mortgage of SIO,OOO on his house in this city.
Foster lent him the money to pay it off. There
| were also suits filed in the District
; Court against him for about. $3,00). i
In order to shut off talk it was
| necessary that the prosecutors of them should
be paid. Foster lent Garfield the money to j
pay them. He can have anything he wants of
! the next administration. It is true that he i
1 may not elect to go into the Cabinet. He may \
\ prefer a first-class foreign mission.

The Mistake In South Carolina’s
Population.
Washington, January 6.—The Census
Bureau reports that seven of the eight town
ships taken for re enumeration in South
Carolina show an aggregate population In
December of 17,372, against 16,993 reported
by the local enumerators In June last.
An Exaggeration.
Wilmington, N. C., January 6.—The tele
gram stating that thirty persons were in
jured by the recent accident on the Wil
mington and Weldon Railroad is an exag
geration. There were only about twenty
persons on the train, of whom six or seven 1
were hurt, but none dangerously.
Hydrophobia Through a Scratch—
Fred Stevens died at Plymouth, Massa
chusetts, Saturday, of hydrophoS.a, after
a sickness of several da*y9, during which
he showed all the horrible s> mptonis of
this dread malady. The disease was
contracted in Nova Scotia from taking
care of a rabid dog, and the poison was
conveyed through some slight wound or
scratch on his hand, from the saliva of
the dog.
The “blizzard” is hard on tbe colored
exodusters. A dozen of them passed
through Washington the other day on
their way from Indiana to their old
homes in North Carolina. The excessive
frigidity of the Hoosier climate is not
adapted to the Senegambian tempera
ment.

THE INCOMING ADMINISTRA
TION.
An “Authorized” Statement ai to
It* Policy-All for Party. Nothing
for the Country.
The New York Tribune of Monday, in
a conspicuous editorial, says: “The time
seems fit for at least one statement about
the approaching administration of Presi
dent Garfield. It is not to be used as a
make weight in pending Senatorial con
tests, whether in New York or elsewhere.
We are fully authorized to say this and
the words are entitled to their full signi
: ficance. It is proper to say, further, that
the incoming administration will see to
it that the men from New York and other
States who had the courage at Chicago
: to obey the wishes of their districts in the
| balloting for President, and who thus
| finally voted for Garfield, shall not suffer
i for it nor lose by it. They will not
• fail of honorable recognition for their
j independence, their courage, their reso
i lute pursuit of the policy they believed
best for the Republican party and the
country. Gentlemen at Albany who are
said to have been threatened with a dif
ferent course at Washington may reas
sure themselves. The administration of
President Garfield is to be an administra
tion for the whole Republican party. It
will foment no quarrels; it will most
earnestly seek the things that make for
; peace and for the best interests of the
party it represents. Rut it will uot per
; mit its friends to be persecuted for their
| friendship. Whoever has been per
suaded to doubt this may as well make
henceforth a declaration of independence
from the dictation of any authority, save
the wishes of constituents and his own
convictions of policy and right,

Read the Following Testimonial
RICHMOND, V-A.
Gentlemen—l take the liberty of informing
! vou of the great improvement—well, you may
i sav. the entire restoration to health—caused
i by using SIMMONS’ LIVER REGULATOR.
I was under medical treatment for a long
; time (being treated for Dyspepsia), but all
kinds of medicine seemed to do me but little
1 good, I suffered intensely with full stomach,
headache, etc. One day I was told by a neigh
bor who had taken the REGULATOR that it
was a sure cure for my troubles. I decided to
try it, not thinking It would do me any good
The first dose I took relieved me very much—
it was so decided an improvement I began to
put confidence in what my neighbor had said
to me. In one week after taking the REGU
LATOR I was as strong and hearfy as I ever
was; my complexion began to clear up. I was
told by all my acquaintances I wag looking so
much better. I think it is the best thing I ever
took for Dyspepsia, without any exception. It
did me so much good I was determined I would
give you my testimony without being asked
for it. Yours respectfully,
Henry G. Crenshaw.
