TAPPING THE WIRES.
In the Senate yesterday, Mr. Harris pre
sented a memorial of the National Tobacco
Board of Trade and resolutions of the Ten
nessee Legislature relative to the monopoly
enjoyed by certain foreign governments in
the trade, and praying for relief. The
House poet route bill was passed without
debate, and the conference report on the
aruiv bill was adopted. The legislative ap
propriation bill was explained by Mr. Davis,
of West Virginia, and pending the consid
eration of amendments thereto the Senate
took a recess till 7:30. The night session
was occupied with the discussion of the bill
providing for the erection of the new Con
gressional library building.
In the House, Sunday next at 3 p. m. was
fixed upon as the time for the delivery of
eulogies upon the life and character of the
late Fernando Wood. Later an invitation
was extended to the Senate to be present at
the exercises, A resolution was offered by
Mr. McMahon, asking for Information rela
tive to the refunding of the 10-40 bonds.
Several other resolutions and bills were in
troduced under the call of States, and after
the failure of Mr. Acklen to procure an
adjournment over to-day, the House ad
journed.

be put forthwith at midnight, was carried
by a vote of 415 to 63. At the time appoint

pleted.
A dispatch to the Manchester Guardian

The money centres of the country
watched the action of the Senate on the
refunding bill with a great deal of in
terest, and the effect of the probable
passage of the measure was to consider
ably enhance the value of interest pay
ing securities of all classes. The Wash
ington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun writes that paper that “the tempta
tion to take advantage of the remarka
ble opportunities afforded for specula
tion has been so great that probably one
third of the Senators have been drawn
into the whirlpool. One Senator, who
considers himself a very insignificant
operator, said at the bureau to-night
that his gains in the eleven days last
past footed up $27,000.”
In 1883 the nobby thing for our fash
ionables to do, says the New Orleans
Democrat, will be to take a trip to the
City of Mexico and wander through the
marble halls of the palace of the Monte
zumas. The Mexican capital is one of
the most beautiful, as well as one of the
most delightful, cities in the world, and
will undoubtedly become a place of
resort for Americans in both summer
and winter, the climate being simply
delicious the year round. The time of
the trip will, we suspect, be something
less than hours.
The defeat of the Philadelphia Repub
lican ring in the municipal election of last
week may have far-reaching results.
It is quite generally conceded that there
has been long continued and gross cor
ruption in the city government, and it is
as generally believed that with an hon
est administration of Philadelphia’s af
fairs, the State of Pennsylvania would
give Democratic majorities. Both points
are now likely to be proved or disproved.
The developments will doubtless be very
interesting.
Much fear having been expressed lest
negroea should attend the great inaugu
ral ball at Washington on March 4th, in
considerable numbers, the managers an
nounce that tickets have been sold to
but four colored men, viz.: Benator
Bruce, Marshal Fred. Douglas, Minister
Langston and Prof. Greener, and that
the price of admission has been placed
high for the especial purpose of exclu
ding the colored element. And thus the
anxiety of the Republican magnates who
wish to attend the ball has been relieved.
It seems that the British Cabinet is
disposed to jump at the proposal of the
Boers for peace as the basis of a settle'
ment of the pending troubles. This is
wise, but it is a back-down from the
position that the Boers must be whipped
before justice could be done them. So
far as whipping goes the Boers have
done rather more of it since hostilities
began than the British.

The Refunding Bill.
On Thursday last the refunding bill,
which has been before Congress for some
time past, and which had already passed
the House, passed the Senate with some
immaterial amendments, after quite a
struggle over the measure in that body.
As it came from the House the bill pro
vided for refunding bonds and Treasury
certificates bearing three per cent, inter
est, and required that national banks
should deposit the new bonds in
the Treasury as security for their
circulation. Both these clauses met with
much opposition in the Senate. Regard
ing the first, several members, Mr. Bay
aid among them, agreed with Secretary
Sherman, that there was danger that a
three per cent, bond could not be floated
at par, and argued that it would be bet
ter for the government to take no risks,
but to make the rate of interest three
and a half per cent.; while in regard to
the second, it was contended, and quite
strenuously, that it would be bad policy
to force the national banks to base their
circulation on these bonds. The Senate
Finance Committee was of this opinion,
and struck the clause obligating the banks
to that course from the bill, on the
ground that the banks could not afford
to issue notes to the required extent,
based on bonds bearing so low a rate of
interest, and that a serious contraction
of the currency would follow. The Sen
ate, however, did not agree with either
of these views, and insisted on retaining
both these original features m the bill.
The amendments adopted by the Sen
ate are very unimportant. The House
bill required that the government should
have the option of redeeming the bonds
at any time after five and up to ten years
from the date of their issue, and the
Senate increased the option to twenty
years. An amendment was also adopted
to the effect that the Secretary of
the Treasury should give the people
an opportunity to invest in the bonds,
and for this purpose it was provided
that they must be offered all over the
country for thirty days before any con
tracts with syndicates can take effect.
These are the principal changes in the
bill. They are entirely immaterial, and
doubtless the House will promptly coin
nidf iir them, Mr. Hayes will probably
speedily sign .the bill, and it will soon
become a law.
Whether or not this three *'“ r oent *
bond can be floated at par, —_>
or not the national banks will reduce
their circulation so as to create a serious
contraction of the currency, are matters
which only experience can determine.
As to the first, the country never has en
joyed, and probably never will enjoy
again a better opportunity for funding
the $637,350,000 of bonds, now bear
ing 5 and 6 per cent, interest,
and which mature after May and June
next, at a low rate. As Mr. Bayard,
ting a 3£ per cent bond ad
mitted, we are with great plenty
and unexceptionably good credit Under
these circumstances, if any 3 per cent
bonds can be floated at par at all, this
government can do so, and even the
friends of a higher rate admitted that
it was possible. As to the second,
opinions greatly differ. Some financial
authorities claim that the amount of na
tional bank notes which will be with
drawn from circulation will reach $50,-
000,000. If so, it will doubtless be seri
ously felt, but, in the opinion of the
House and Senate, as well as of a great
many others in the country, the threat
of the banks to withdraw their circula
tion was very much in the nature of an
effort to frighten the Senate into
determining on a 3£ per cent, bond, and
the banks will find it to their inter
est to keep up the volume of currency
under existing regulations. Should it
prove otherwise, however additional
financial legislation may be required, and
it may even become necessary to place
the government beyond the power of the
banks altogether.
This refunding act is a last effort on
the part of the present Democratic Con
gress to save millions of dollars per
annum to the country. Therefore,
whether it accomplishes all that is ex
pected of it or not, it is worthy of ex
periment, and the Congress which pass
ed it are worthy of popular commenda
tion.
The Colored Republicans Despon
dent.
The colored Republicans, says the
Washington Pott, have about come to
the conclusion that their claims will not
be recognized by the incoming adminis
tration. They will, as usual, be wel
come to a lunch in the kitchen, but they
will not be invited to sit and eat with
the family in the dining room.
They have not failed to make known
their demand for a Cabinet position.
They took the field early. They spoke
their desire frankly. Good and abundant
reasons they assigned for asking snch
recognition. But they have no hope of
faring better in tbe near future than
they have in the recent past
They have told General Garfield that
he owes his election to them, and he can
not deny it. They have shown that, but
for their unexampled devotion to the
Republican party, there would now
be no Bucb organization known iQ na
tional affairs. And this no one denies.
But their fidelity, their sacrifices, their
devotion, are counted as naught. Tbe
feast will soon be spread, as it was four
years ago, and the colored brethren will
be permitted to smell the savor of rich
viands while waiting for the scraps.
The investigation of the Democratic
members of tbe Tennessee Legislature
who voted for Republicans m the recent
election for State officers ancl United
States Senator has not developed any
thing to support the charge of bribery.
The charge, in the first place, appears
to have been based upon the theory that
a Democrat would not vote for a Repub
lican except for pay. It seems that the
ill feeling engendered between the two
factions of the Democratic party was
really the cause of the falling off of
several low tax Democrats. They pre
ferred the Republicans to the State credit
wing of their own party. The investi
gation has entirely disproved the allega
tion that Democrats were promised gov
ernment positions if they would vote for
Mr. Maynard for United States Senator.
Mr. Coxe, the Democratic State Sena
tor of Pennsylvania, who was not will
ing to take the oath of office at the
assembling of the Legislature because
he feared that possibly money had been
used by some indiscreet friend to secure
his election—though he protested that he
did not authorize anything of the kind
has been re-elected by a largely increased
majority. It is to be presumed now that
after having tested his popularity the
second time, be can “swear in” with a
clear conscience.
Louisville Courier-Journal: "Perhaps
he did not do so, but Conkling should
have telegraphed from Mentor ‘Vein,
nidi vieiT Garfield has evidently sur
rendered to the stalwarts. The nomina
tion of Foster to be United States Attor
ney of New York city has been with
drawn; Shepherd, & Conkling man, is to
be nominated in his place, and Me Lud
Roscoe is to permit Matthews to be con
firmed.’*
The Proposed World’s Fair.
The New York papers quote General
Grant as havißg spoken as follows at the
meeting of the World’s Fair Commission
in that city Wednesday evening: “lam
well aware that the sentiment through
out the country is strongly in favor of
holding the fair in 1888. The interest
is very great, and it will unques
tionably be of great advantage to the
various interests in this city, especially
to the transportation companies, to the
elevated and surface roads and to the
hotels. The subscriptions to this enter
prise are not in the shape of donations;
on the contrary, my opinion is that all
the subscribers will get back their
money, with a considerable bonus. It
may not be considered a particularly
profitable investment owing to the length
of time—two and one half years—before
returns can be realized. But at Philadel
phia it was four years. But this time,
after two and one-half years, subscribers
will receive both capital and what will
undoubtedly be a handsome interest.
I base this opinion on the fact that had
the receipts at the centennial been sl,-
500,000 more they would have paid all
subscriptions. This fair is to be held in
the centre of population—the centre of
population because it can be reached by
visitors for a fare ranging from ten to
twenty-five cents. The centennial was
held at the time of a great panic, which
affected not only this country, but the
whole world. At that fair the admission
fee of fifty cents was a matter of great con
sideration to a majority of the visitors,
while the expense of travel was a still
more serious consideration. Now, in
the midst of prosperity, with every pros
pect of its lasting, the entrance fee and
railroad fares will be of comparatively
small consideration. It is safe to esti
mate that there will be four times as
many visitors at the coming fair as there
were at Philadelphia. Foreign travel
also will be much larger. Our country
has grown, and is much better worth
visiting now than it was then, and many
more people will come.”
At the same meeting the resignation of
the members of the organization known
as the Hilton commission were accepted,
and there is now only one commission in
the field. These resignations were ten
dered last summer, and their final ac
ceptance has settled all questions liable
to arise out of the complications which
at one time existed. The subscriptions
to the stock have now gone beyond ssl2>-
000, and the prospects for raising the
$1,000,000 required are said to be very
good.
Why the South Is Solid.
The Amertcan, of Philadelphia, in its
issue of February 13th, continues its
series of letters from Southern men on
the siVnation. Senator Johnston, Repre
sentative PbaAj Governor Matthews, of
West Virginia, all write * *-~ n cr nnd able
letters, but the strongest, perhaps, is
that of Professor Puryear, who is at the
bead of Richmond College, said to be
the leading Baptist educational institution
in the South. We quote from \iim as
follows:
“In passing this outrageous legislation
the intention was—and there seemed D o
bar to the full execution of tb"
—to put the ooOp'ie ot these States un
*iei Vic domination of their late slaves.
In a measure, you of the North have
failed; but the failure does not redeem
the unpardonable cruelty of the punish
ment. For it was a punishment, not of
‘rebels’ only, but of non combatants of
every class, of women and of little chil
dren—a punishment that, not finding
sufficient material for its vengeance in
the living generation, sought to inflict
is bitter liumiliation on generations yet
unborn. If you had been content to
punish the participants in ‘rebellion’
with loss of property, imprisonment, tor
ture, death, time at length might have
soothed or cicatrized our wounds; but
when, with fiendish malignity, you at
tempt to subject all classes of our popu
lation, and those yet to come, to cruci
fixion of the soul —submission to slaves,
*• Time but the impression deeper makes,
As streams their channels deeper wear.’
“The reconstruction measures were so
obviously unc institutional that the Presi
dent, a staunch Union man, was com
pelled to veto the bill. No greater out
rage was ever inflicted upon a prostrate
people. It is the crime of the age.
When they became law, the South be
came solid in self-defense. If the
scheme had had full course, there would
have been in these Southern States such
a carnival of crime that the world would
have stood aghast at the iniquity. To
the solidity of the South is due not only
our own partial rescue, but to the same
fact are you indebted that your legisla
tion—more cruel than the laws of Draco
—is not pilloried in eternal infamy, the
detestation and disgust of the world and
all time.
“Most gladly will I co-operate with you
in destroying the solidity of the South
in the only way in which it can be de
stroyed, or ought to be destroyed. Re
move the cause; repent of your gross
and frequent violations of the Constitu
tion of our fathers, and bring forth
fruits meet for repentance, by snowing
a willingness to mend the breach. The
South, though irreparably wronged, will
meet you half way, and honestly assist
you in devising plans for the unification,
harmony and security of all parts and
sections of the country.”
The Yorktown Centennial.
Representative Goode, of Virginia,
who is a member of the Yorktown Com
mission, received on Thursday a letter
from General Garfield on the subject of
the celebration. Geneial Garfield ex
presses much interest in the coming cen
tennial celebration, and says that he will
do all in his power to make it a success.'
The committee have arranged for cere
monies extending over a period of three
days. On October 19 the President of
the United States will preside and de
liver an address, and Governor Holli
day, of Virginia, will make the address
of welcome. The programme will be
the landing of the troops, tbe laying of
the corner stone of the monument by
the Grand Lodge F. and A. M. of Vir
ginia, assisted by the Grand Masters of
the thirteen original States, the Knights
Templar acting as an escort, a poem by
Jas. Barron Hope, and an oration by Hon.
Robt C. Winthrop. The exercises will
be varied by music and the firing of
salutes. On the 20th the President will
review all the military organizations on
the field, to be followed by a grand dress
parade. On the 21st there will be a
naval review. Invitations have been
sent to the Governors of all the States
requesting their presence, with their
military staffs, and a majority of thorn
at least, it is hoped, will respond. Ar
rangements have been made to receive
the French representation with dis
tinguished honor, and to assign them a
prominent place in the ceremonies. Con
gress has already voted $20,000 to be
expended for their entertainment, under
the direction of the Secretary of State.
The above comprises the official cere
monies under the auspices of the United
States, but they are expected to be large
ly supplemented by the Yorktown Asso
ciation and the liberality and enterprise
of private citizens.
Welcomk to an American Bride.—
Senator Sharon’s daughter has arrived
at her husband's English home. Sir
Thomas Hesketh left England two years
ago to sad around the world in a yacht,
the Lancashire Witch. His neighbors
and tenants decorated the railroad station
near Rufford Hall, on his return, with a
triumphal arch, saying “ Welcome to
Rufford.” All the hotels were ornament
ed with flags, the American flag being
conspicuous. In the middle of the town
was a big arch saying “ Welcome to
Lady Hesketh.” The family hall was
also covered with flowers, and the next
day was made a general holiday, with
bands of music and the neighbors of all
classes visiting. The church bells were
rung and people hauled the carriage
through the streets. A punch bowl,
which cost SI,OOO, was presented by the
tenants. One of the tenants gave the
toast at the dinner, "Success to the
Union of the Stars and Stripes and the
Union Jack.”
“A Citizen of the United States’ ”
Attack Upon Mr. ParnelL
Editor Morning News: Of your cour
tesy I ask your insertion of this commu
nication, my last on the subject
It is a somewhat cowardly act to strike
an enemy when he is down, but when he
throws himself down to avoid your blow
will you hold your hand or—strike?
I strike, blame me who may.
In his first article, “A Citizen of the
United States” quotes Mr. Parnell’s lan
guage word for word, makes that lan
guage his text, and assaults it You,
Mr. Editor, and my insignificant self,
note his distortion of the quoted words,
note his ascription of meaning which
the words will not bear, and explain, to
what must be a muddled sense, the true
meaning of the language used. In fact,
that language is so plain that it needs no
explanation save to a mind wilfully per
verted.
Mr. Parnell’s language (and Ged
knows “A Citizen” italicized his version
sufficiently), Mr. Parnell’s language was
what he attacked, and that language
was what we defended. Your article
and mine dwelt upon that topic almost
entirely—Mr. Parnell’s language. In his
article of to day, “A Citizen of the
United States” takes the old, well known
refuge of every defeated school boy:
“We did not touch upon the point of
his article.” Mr. Editor, the point of
his article was his assault upon Mr. Par
nell’s language. He claims now that
we should have attacked his conception
of the meaning of that language. I
know you are laughing, Mr. Editor, and
you are right A huger old joke was
never perpetrated upon the readers of
gublic print. "A Citizen” throws Mr.
arnell’s language to the winds —nay, he
does worse; be distorts the meaning of
it and offers his construction as the
writer’s meaning. “A Citizen’s” article in
four issue of to day is simply dishonest,
t is an assumption of premises which
do not exist, and it is full of what the
writer must have known to be misstate
ments. He says that he “took up
Froude, but found him so full of preju
dices and misrepresentations that he put
him down.” I say, Mr. Editor, that he
studied Froude long enough to become a
thorough master of his methods. To
take the plain language of a great
man, to distort it to your
own idea in order to hold him up to
public ignominy, to put false meanings
into the plain language which he uses,
and publish those meanings as Aw, this is
Froudism, audit is in the exercise of this
faculty only that “A Citizen” has >hone.
“A Citizen” argues more weakly the
farther we read. He claims that be
cause the military and naval power of
England are very great, and because
the geographical position of Ireland
makes the possession of that coun
try advantageous to England, there
fore, Ireland’s people are crim
inal in attempting to shake off the
English yoke. What “warm friend
of the Irish people” sees the force of
the argument? Oh, shame upon the
—arm friend of Ireland.
“A Citizen 0 f the United Stales” is
aware one 0 f the clergy—(mark)
° r ‘t of the clergy — attends the meetings of
the Land League, and he asks: “But
what can the clergy do when the people
become excited?” I answer, Mr. Editor:
The people will do as they have always
done, follow the lead of Soggarth
Aroon. In the struggles for liberty,
for right and justice the Irish
clergy have never waited for
any man’s hand to point the way. It
mattered not where Death grinned the
ghastliest, they were always first to meet
him, and they have met him so often,
and so shorn him of his grizzly terrors,
that they fear not to meet him again in
these latter days. “A Citizen of the
United States’* evidently knows nothing
of the Irish priesthood.
And now to the last count in the in
dictment: “It is reported that Mr. Par
nell told Victor Hugo that though
insurrection would be justifiable, the
League discouraged it, as the Irish are
unarmed.”
Mr. Editor, the citation of that
sentence proves conclusively that “A
Citizen of the United States” is not a
warm friend of the Irish people. It
proves that he is one who will stoop to
anything to further English supremacy,
and that he is one who looks not to the
rights of kings, but to how much he can
make out of them. Had his vision been
so clear as it was when he saw war in
Mr. Parnell’s address, he would have
seen that the very sentence which
he here quotes upsets his whole
argument against Mr. Parnell. If Mr.
Parnell is criminal in declaring insurrec
tion justifiable in Ireland, I too am
criminal, for I believe insurrection to
have been justifiable anytime since 1172,
and will so believe until the people of
Ireland hold their own again. And it is
and will ever remain a proud boast of
mine, and one which I shall teach my
children to boast of, and they their chil
dren’s children after them, that I
took up arms and spent the best four
years of my life under arms for the
cause of a people whose wrongs, though
crying to Heaven for vengeance, were
but as the troubles of a little child beside
a strong man’s agony, when compared
with the sufferings of Ireland and her
people under English rule. With thanks,
I am done. Emerald.
Savannah, February 21, 1881.
To “A Citizen of the United States.”
Editor Morning News: I respectfully
ask permission to reply to some charges
in a correspondence in your issue of
Friday—evidently written in the land
lord interest —signed as above, which, by
its unfair presentment of facts, does in
justice to Mr. Parnell and the Land
League. It met with a fitting rebuke in
your just and unanswerable comments.
To some points which you omitted per
mit me to reply. The writer says: “Be
sides, there is no evidence that the ‘lrish
nation’ in Ireland is unanimous in its
support of the political careering of Mr.
Parnell and his followers.” There is
plenty of evidence to every unbiased
mind who reads tbe liberal press of Ire
land and the United States, and of disin
terested eye witnesses to the facts. Among
them Mr. Redpath, New York Tribune
correspondent, lately returned from an
extended and searching tour through
Ireland, who testifies that nine-tenths of
the people, the priests and Bishops of
Ireland are in sympathy with the Land
League. Again, “And conservative
Irishmen who have become citizens of
the United States are by no means agreed
in their views of Mr. Parnell’s policy,”
etc. Conservative Irishmen, indeed!
Conservative nincompoops, frauds upon
their names, who have sprung from the
dregs of the people, have acquired a lit
tle pelf and pomp, and would deny their
birthplace, and as readily their religion,
to advance their selfish instincts. They
represent neither Irish or American sen
timents, but their ignoble selves.
“But the unkindeat cut of all” is yet
to come: “Mr. Parnell would be an
O’Connell, but, unfortunately for his
ambition, tbe mantle of the great agita
tor has not fallen upon him. He lacks
the one great gift and soul inspiring in
fluence and guidance of religion, that
made O'Connell what he was. Daniel
O’Connell was grand in his consistent,
inflexible, unwavering, undismayed
patriotism, founded upon a rock—his
faith,” etc., etc., evidently meaning the
Catholic faith to which O’Connell be
longed—athigginthu. Here the writer
essays to fiiDg tbe firebrand of religious
discord among a liberal and magnanimous
community, who sink all question of
creed in the golden creed of charity.
This writer forcibly reminds us of an
other who some years ago, under the
nom de plume of "Tipperary,” wrote a
somewhat similar article, which evoked
at the time considerable indignation,
but who became non est inventus perhaps
to this day. The writer winds up with
professions of friendship to the Irish
people. Allow u, "Mr. Citizen of the
United States,” to question the sincerity
of your friendship, which you take a
strange way to manifest, ana further to
say mat we know the sentiments of the
chivalrous people of Savannah too well
to fear your puny attack will hurt either
Mr. Parnell or the Land League.
