TAPPING THE WIBES.
In the Senate yesterday the death of Hon.
ir.K H. Carpenter was announced by
Mr Cameron, of Wisconsin, and after
adopting a series of resolutions, expressive
of the regret of the Senate, and providing
for the appointment of a committee to ar
range for the funeral of the deceased, the
Senate, as a mark of respect to his memory,
adjourned.
In the House, several committees of con
ference were appointed on appropriation
-bills, upon which the two houses differ, and
a call of the committees followed, but only
two bills were reported. Mr. Cox demand
ed the regular order, the apportionment
bill, and, after some show of resistance by
the Republicans, the House agreed to pro
ceed with its consideration. Mr. Hammond,
of Georgia, took the floor and ar
gued that as long as the limitation
placed by the States upon the exercise
of the franchise worked equally, Con
gresa should regard it as *a safeguard
to and not an abridgement of suffrage. He
opposed the appointment of a committee as
proposed by Mr. Crowley, of New York, to
Inquire into the regulations of the various
States upon the subject, on the ground that
it would beget public alarm and distrust,
ue made a strong appeal for peace between
the sections, and closed with a brilliant pe
roration on the duties of the North and
Sooth. Mr. Dunn, of Arkansas, and others
spoke upon the bill, and Mr. Cox demanded
the previous question. The Republicans
demanded more time, and being refused,
resorted to obstructive tactic*, which were
kept up all day and into the night.
A London dispatch states that Mr. Glad
stone, in alighting from his carriage
Wednesday night, on his return from the
House, fell backward and struck his bead
on the iron step of the vehicle. A surgeon
dressed his wound, and he was put to bed.
Alarm reigns in Downing street. A bulle
tin at noon yesterday stated he was doing
quite well, and needed only rest.
The House Committee on Ways and
Means yesterday considered the funding
bill, as amended by the Senate, and agreed
to the majority of the changes proposed.
The Bute Agricultural Society closed ita
sessions at Thomasvllle last night, after
hearing able addresses upon fish culture,
"How to Prevent Land from Washing,”
and the "Future of Georgia’s Terra Incog -
nila .” The August meeting will be held in
Rome.
The Executive Committee of the Cotton
Exposition met at Atlanta yesterday. H.
I. Kimball was elected Cbairman. Suffi
cient funds were raised tq defray all pre
liminary expenditures, and the success of
the exposition is thought to be assured.
A large number of stores and dwellings
In Edenton, North Carolina, were consumed
on Thursday morning. It is supposed the
fire was the work of an incendiary. There
was little or no insurance.
Secretary Sherman was interviewed yes
terday in reference to the action of the
banks in retiring their circulation. He
says it only affects the money market in
New York and that the Treasury can and
will pay out the money that comes in, as
well as surplus reserve in payment of bonds
for the sinkine fund, if offered at par and
accruing Interest. Bonds must be sent to
Washington to be verified.
Premier Ferry yesterday, in reply to the
Due De Broglie, said tnat the dispatch of
French officers to Greece was a normal act
and did not warrant the irreconcilable* of
the Left and Right In the charges made
against the government. As to the sale of
arms, not a single cartridge had left France
since the government had begun to act in
the premises.
A Berlin dispatch siys discouraging views
are felt there in reference to the courte of
Greece and Turkey. The efforts of Ger
many are confined mainly to localizing the
impending conflict.
Right Hon. John Bright states that the
terms presented to the Boers will likely be
accepted.
In the House of Commons yesterday at 7
p. m. the Speaker put the several amend
ments to the coercion bill, which were nega
tived. Mr. Forster moved the third read
ing of the bill. Mr. Justin McCarthy
moved its rejection. Sir William Harcourt
made a vehement speech, quoting from
speeches of John Devoy and Davltt, and
■aid "If there were men who would use
such language, it was the duty of English
men to stamp upon them as on a nest of
vipers.” Mr. A. M. Bullivan replied briefly
and the debate was adjourned.
The New York stock market yesterday
was affected by the stringency of the money
market. This was relieved by the announce
ment of Secretary Sherman, and an im
provement took place. The market, how
ever, closed irregular. The transactions
aggregated 618 000 shares.
The census of silk manufacturing in
the United States shows 388 silk fac
tories, with $18,899,500 capital invested,
$22,371,300 of raw material worked up,
and $81,410,463 of manufactured pro
ducts, 34,440 hands employed, and
$9,107,835 paid annually in wages. New
Jersey is the largest manufacturer, hav
ing 108 factories, $12,851,045 of pra
ducts, and 13,932 hands. Pennsylvania
has 49 factories, $2,853,165 products,
and 3,360 hands. Fifteen Northern
States are engaged in the business. Ohio
has 6 factories, $34,700 in capital invest
ed, and $53,110 in products, employing
142 hands.
Scribner i Monthly for March opens
with a bright and entertaining sketch
entitled “In London with Dickens,”
from the pen of B. E. Martin. The
iihiatrations are by Charles A. Vander
koof, and many familiar parts of the
groat city are faithfully reproduced.
Among other features is aa article by
Charles Barnard on “Ericsson’s Destroy
er and Her New Gun," which is also
profusely illustrated. There are, besides,
numerous articles on a great variety of
subjects from the pens of the best
writers. Altogether this number of
Scribner is a particularly interesting one.
The surviving citizen soldiers of the
Mexican war number 6,000; widows,
1,000; surviving soldiers of the regular
mxmy, who fought in Mexico, 3,700; sur
viving soldiers and widows of the Black
Hawk war, 200; surviving soldiers and
widows of the Creek and Florida wars,
3,400; making a total cf 13,300. The
proposed pensioning of these survivors
will not cost to exceed $1,285,000 a year
for probably twelve or thirteen years.
The government and the people can af
ford to pay that.
That the Garfield administration is to
be stalwart, there is now no doubt Mr.
Garfield will be almost the only repre
sentative of the llepublican moderates at
the White House councils, and his well
known malleability will ensure an over
ruling of his voice. From a Democratic
standpoint this situation promises well.
Rampant stalwartism will send over to
the Democracy the independents who
supported Hayes’ non sectional policy.
During the past year one hundred and
fifty persons in New York city com

hundred and thirty-one were males.

The Funding BUI.
A great variety of opinions are being
expressed in regard to the probable effect
of the 3 per cent funding bill upon the
currency of the country. Washington
dispatches say that there is a noticeable
change of sentiment in that city both as
to the ability of the government to float a
3 per cent, bond at par, and as to the seri
ous contraction of the currency threat
ened by the withdrawal of the circula
tion of the national banks. Many of
those who, previous to the passage
of the bill, advocated a 34 per
cent, bond, now say that they believe
the 3 per cents, can be sold at par, and
it is stated that some of the best inform
ed Treasury officials coincide in this
opinion. It is also beginning to be gen
erally believed that even a withdrawal of
national bank circulation will not create
a contraction of the currency, and that
the action of the banks has been taken
simply with the view of frightening Con
gress into adopting a bond bearing the
highest rate of interest possible to be se
cured.
Many very plausible, and we believe
sound, arguments are adduced to sustain
this opinion. In the first place, the terms
of the bill itself will be likely to prevent
any serious contraction. It is pro
vided therein that no bank can
carry out the threat to stop
its circulation until it has deposited with
the Treasurer legal tenders sufficient to
redeem its notes, and as a majority of
the notes of each bank are in circulation
all over the country, and are largely held
by private parties, no bank can get pos
session of its notes for a considerable pe
riod of time. This of itself, it is evident,
must delay the dreaded contraction.
In the next place, it is very generally
believed that so far from contracting the
currency, the first effect of the refund
ing law will be inflation. The $300,-
000,000 of 3 per cent, certificates pro
vided for by the bill will, in all proba
bility, at first, and until lhe approach of
the period for the collection
of the interest due on them,
enter into the currency, and will
not only take the place of the withdrawn
national bank notes, but will be circu
lated much more rapidly than the bank
notes can be withdrawn. This will pre
vent the loss of the notes from being
felt, and as it is proposed to apply $75.-
000.000 per annum of the surplus reve
nue of the government to the redemption
of these certificate! after the first year,
the volume of currency will thus be pre
vented from being seriously lessened.
In the next place the 4th section of
the bill, which provides that the Secre
tary of the Treasury may expend not to
exceed $50,000,000 of the standard gold
and silver coin iq the Treasury for the
redemption of the maturing bonds, if he
thinks it necessary to do so, will prove
the greatest safeguard against any im
mediate contraction. In case the new
bonds are uot taken up with sufficient
rapidity to enable their proceeds to be
readily applied to the payment of the
maturing s’s and 6's, this provision will
materially enable the old bonds to be
taken up, and the sums expended upon
their redemption will, of course, imme
diately enter into the currency of the
country.
We regard all these positions as sound,
and believe that in a very short time the
new loan will be fairly under way,
and the fears occasioned by the threats
of the national banks will have subsided.
If. however, the banks can successfully
contract the currency, as they allege, it
will, in the end, prove disastrous to
them. The people cannot, and will not,
consent to maintaining any institution
which, by concentrating its strength,can
at any time have it in its power to clog
the wheels of commerce, and involve
the country in a disastrous monetary
panic. The banks naturally want a
high rate of interest for their bonds, but
the people, who are taxed to pay that
interest, want it as light as possible, and
the banks must yield to the people or
cease to exist
The House Committee of Ways and
Mean? evidently do not fear the evil ef
fects which have been predicted by the
banks and their friends as to the result
of the passage of this bill, for by this
morning's dispatches we are informed
that they have adopted the Senate’s
amendments and will report the
bill favorably to the House.
It is not likely that Mr.
Hayes will take the responsibility of in
terposing his veto to the measure, since
he will probably prefer to let the merits
of the law be tested by experience. If
it succeeds, a-> it most likely will, it will
ri fleet great credit upon the Democratic
party, for it is generally conceded to be
wholly a Democratic measure.
A Wisconsin legislator has devised a
plan for ascertaining whether the women
of that State really desire to become in
vested with the privileges of voting. He
has introduced a bill which authorizes
and requires women to vote at the next
general Slate election upen the question
whether they desire to have the elective
franchise conferred upon them, and to
aseume the duties and obligations of
male citizens. Neglecting to vote is to
be considered a misdemeanor, and pun
ished by a fine of not less than one hun
dred dollars or imprisonment for not
more than three months.
It seems that General Garfield is be
sieged at Mentor not only by male office
seekers and Cabinet makers, but by
many women, who go to offer him ad
vice on total abstinence from intoxicat
ing drinks and on woman suffrage.
When it is known further that Private
Dalzell has been there, gathering mate
rial for moral platitudes and common
place rhetoric, which he empties under
his own name into the Cincinnati Com
mercial, it will be admitted that the cup
of the President elect is full, and sincere
sympathy will be extended to him from
all parts of the country.
In an artiuln which appears in the
Food and Health, a journal published in
New York, the writer gives some very
useful information concerning trichinae.
He said a hog afflicted with trichinae
would probably show such signs of dis
ease as would Insure iU rejection by any
careful inspector. Even in cases where
such poisoning had occurred it had al
ways followed the eating of raw meat,
and that persons eating well cooked pork
peed not have fear of contracting the
disease.
A French corporation, known as the
“Societe Generale de Credit Industrial
et Commercial,” has a nice scheme for
restoring peace in South America. It
proposes that the nitrate and guano
deposits be turned over to it, when it
w 11 guarantee Chili the interst on $20,-
000,000, more than the war has cost; to
pay Peru 3 per cent, on its national debt,
and, at the same time, to generally im
prove and develop the country.
The United States is not such a debt
ridden nation after all. Our public debt
averages S6B per head: that of Spain,
$154; of France, $136; of England, $117;
of Holland, $114; of Canada, S2B; of
Mexico, $39; of Switzerland, $2.
Sister Mass to Sister Lon.
The New Orleans Democrat of Wed
nesday says: "Not the least pleasing in
cident of the reception of the Boston
soldiers yesterday was the presentation
to the Mayor by ex-Alderman Slade, in
behalf at the ladies of Boston, of a lovely
bouquet of choicest roses which had
bloomed in the hot houses of that city,
and which had wonderfully retained
their freshness and beauty. They had
been carefully covered with tin foil, and
great was the surprise of every one
when, upon the removal of the foil, the
flowers were discovered to be almost as
perfect as when cut from the parent
steins. Mr. Back, in receiving the gift for
the ladies of New Orleans, truly said that
the roses were a wonder, even to those
who live in our sunny clime, where
flowers usually bloom the year round in
the open air, and that no greater sur
prise could have been given than in the
presentation of these bright and per
fumed messengers from a country of
which we only think at this season as
being covered with snow and manacled
with ice. It is a fact, we fear, that the
people of the North who raise flowers
with such extreme difficulty esteem and
love them more than we who see them
around us almost the entire year in such
profusion. After all, it is the things
most difficult of attainment that we
most ardently desire and most highly
prize.”
Colored Kansas.
The Hartford Time* very pertinently
calls Tourgee’s new famous "Fool’s Er
rand,” the "Fool’s book against the
South. ” It declares that 50,000 negroes
emigrated to Kansas from the Southern
Btates during the past three years. Gen.
Walker, the head of the census bureau,
says there are only 43,000 negroes in
Kansas to day,and that there were 17,000
ten years ago. Even if the negro popu
lation of that State had been at a stand
still for the past decade, this would give
only 26,000 negro emigrants in ten years,
instead of Tourgeefs 50,000 in three
years. However, that part of his book
is about as trustworthy as some
other parts. Tourgee, and the newspa
pers that are repeating his false state
ments, might tell a word of truth if they
were to add that the Southern negroes
who have "exodusted” to Kansas, under
the bad‘advice of bad politicians, are suf
fering severely for their folly in quitting
their Southern homes, and women are
making daily appeals, in Hartford and
in other cities, for second hand clothing,
boots and shoes, needles and thread, any
thing to keep the poor people from mis
ery aDd death. Many, if not most, of
the misguided negroes are now, and long
have been, living in their cold Western
homes on charity.
The Blaiue and Conkling Fend.
To illustrate the antiquity of the bonds
of iove(?) which tie Blaine and Conkling
together, the newspapers are reproducing
the following eulogium on Conkling by
the Maine Senator, (then in the House)
in the year 1866:
"As to the gentleman’s cruel sarcasm,l
hope he will net be too severe. The
eontemptof that large-minded gentleman
is so wiltiDg; his haughty disdain, his
grandiloquent swell, his majestic, su
pereminent, overpowering, turkey gob
bler strut, has been so crushing to my
self and all the members of this House,
that I know it was an act of the greatest
temerity for me to venture upon a con
troversy with him. But, sir, I know
who is responsible for all this. I know
that within the last five weeks,
as members of the House will
recollect, an extra strut has charac
terized the gentleman's bearing. It
is not his fault It is the fault of an
other. That gifted and satirical writer,
Theodore Tilton, of the New York In
dependent, spent some weeks recently in
this city. His letters published in that
paper embraced, with many seiious
statements, a little jocose satire, a part
of which was the statement that the man
tle of the late Winter Davis had fallen
upon the member from New York. The
gentleman took it seriously, and it has
given his strut an additional pomposity.
The resemblance is great. It is striking.
Hyperion to a Satyr, Thersites to Her
cules, mud to marble, dung hill to dia
mond, a singed cat to a Bengal tiger, a
whining puppy to a roaring lion. Shade
of the mighty Davis! forgive the almost
profanation of that jocose satire.”
The report of the “adulteration of
food” experts at Washington make it
seem miraculous that we are any of us
alive. Sugar is not what it should be,
baking powder is mostly alum, cheap tin
is mere condensation of poison in porta
ble form. It is awful to think of the
make up of vinegar and syrup. Canned
anything and pickles are utterly abomi
nable. Cream of tartar is terra alba,
tea and coffee are really fancy articles.
How the New York ice cream at 25 cents
per quart, less for Sunday schools and
picnics, is gotten up, is probably beneath
the inquiries of polite society. Most
terrible warning of all, a child died from
colored stockings, even when not taken
internally. The Wilmington Every Even
ing thinks there must be awful tough
ness in the constitution to brace up
against these things, though the people
have ceased to cling to such length of
days as
The California Beet Sugar In
dustry.—Beet 6ugar manufactories in
California seem to be experiencing a
greater degree of prosperity than has
heretofore fallen to their lot Prices are
more remunerative, competition less ur
gent, and, by reason of careful manage
ment, the field of saccharine matter ap
pears to return a greater percentage of
sugar than has been the case in past sea
sons. Nor do we hear any complaints
as to the quality of their out put. About
two thousand barrels p P r month ate now
said to be turned out by the two beet
root sugaries now in operation in that
State. The San Francisco Orocer, in
referring to the subject, says: “Nothing
can be more entirely a home product
than beet sugar, and wfcijt looking a'popt
for opportunities to develop profitable
local enterprises, we knsw of nothing
better entitled to the consideration of
capitalists than this industry.”
Judge Chalmers seems to make a
point when he says: “it is quite boiui
monly said that immigration is repelled
by Southern solidity and intolerance of
political dissent That this is erroneous
and t!;at the true reason is found in the
unwillingness of white laborers to some
in contact with the negro, and of capi
talists to seek investments when bis domi
nation may bring confiscation, is abund
antly demonstrated by the fact that Geor
gia attracts more capital and Texas paP r ®
immigration th?,o any other goqthem
States. Nowhere ore the whites more
solid or the Democratic majorities so
large."
A Prophecy.— Mr. J. N. McCullough,
one of the Vice Presidents of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, and the
manager qf its lines west of Pittsburg,
is quoted as expressing the belief that
the rapid and speculative construction
of new railroads in every section of the
West will work an ultimata injury to
the standard railway properties of the
country. He anticipates another era of
foreclosure sales, and expects to see the
market glutted with cheap railway prop
erties within the next three or four years.
WRITTEN MATTER IN THE MAILS
What May Be Bent at Leai than
First Class Hatter.
Under the act of March 8.1879. it was
provided that “mailable matter of the
first class shall embrace all matter wholly
or partially In writing, except as herein
provided.” The Postmaster General on
Monday issued an order revoking section
232, Postal Regulations, and substituting
the following exceptions, as referred to
in the act quoted:
First Corrected proof sheets and

same.
Second. Date and name of the ad
dressed, and of the sender of circulars,
and the correction of mere typographi
cal errors therein.
Third. Bills, receipts and orders for
subscription enclosed in second-class
publications, provided such bills, re

as to convey no other information than
the name, location and subscription price
of the publication or publications to
which they refer.
Fourth.* The name and address of the
person to whom second class matter may
be sent, and index figure of a subscrip
tion book, aDd words or figures, or both,
indicating the date on which the sub
scription to such matter will end.
Fifth. Upon matter of the third class,
or upon the wrapper inclosing the same,
the sender may write his own name or

and must not contain anything that par
takes of the nature of a personal corres
pondence.
Seventh. Upon matters of the fourth
class the sender may write his own name
and address, preceded by the word
"from,” and also the number and names

Watch Dogs of the Treasury.
Mr. Warner, of Ohio, introduced in
the House on Monday a bill to create a
board of fiscal inspectors to watch over
the collection and expenditure of the
public treasure. The bill provides for
the appointment by the President, with
the advice and consent of the Senate, of
a board of three fiscal inspectors, not
more than two of whom shall be taken
from the same political party. The
officers so appointed are to hold office
during life or good behavior, and any
one who has held the office of fiscal
inspector shall be ineligible to any other
office of profit under the United States.
The said inspectors are not to be
under forty nor over fifty five
years of age, and each member shall
be permitted to retire at the age
of seventy years, with full pay. The
salary of the office is to be hereafter
fixed. The duty of said board shall be
to watch over the collection and expendi
ture of the public treasury, and to this
end in cases where, in the judgment of
the said board, there is reason to suspect
carelessness, negligence, irregularity,
malfeasance, embezzlement or fraud,
they shall inquire into and investigate
the conduct of the officers or agents en
trusted with the duty of receiving or ex
pending the public monies, or of keep
ing the accounts thereof, and said board
shall have power to inspect all books
and accounts and to send for persons and
papers, to examine witnesses, etc. In
cases where, in the judgment of the
board, an officer or agent of the
government is guilty of misappro
priating the public money or of
embezzlement or malfeasance in office,
they shall have power to arrest,
or suspend from office such officer or
agent, and shall present the evidence in
their possession to the law officer of the
government in the district or circuit
where the offense may have been com
mitted, for the indictment and prosecu
tion of such officer or agent. It is made
the duty of said board to report from
time to time to the heads of departments
its doings, and also to report annually
to Congress in detail all cases of irregu
larity, waste, misappropriation or em
bezzlement discovered by them, with
their action thereon; provided, that any
member of said board may carry on an
investigation, but, in aider to suspend
from office or to prosecute an officer,
there shall be required a concurrence of
at least two members. The bill was re
ferred to the Committee on Public Ex
penditures.
Big Anti-Monopoly Pressure.
There is very great pressure being
brought to bear on Congress for anti
monopoly, anti-consolidation and anti
corporation legislation, writes Redfield.
Recent movements in the consolidation
of telegraph lines and railroad stock
jobbing manipulation have excited an
interest among Congressmen that is be
ginning to take shape. Business men
from New York, Boston and other
Eastern cities, who mingle with mem
bers here, have been for weeks dinning
the impending dangers into their ears,
and clamoring for Congressional
action of some kind. The bills
for postal telegraph and rail
♦ pad restriction# already indi
cate this feeling to some extent, but this
sentiment has received a strong impetus
lately. It is now understood that the
National Anti-Monopoly League, recent
ly organized in New York, has spread
with' wonderful rapidity in that city,
and now has over 4,000 names, embrac
ing many of the solidest business men in
its ranks'. It has gone farther, and is
eiften.iing its power and influence by
local organisation all over the country.
Asa result of this feature, members are
daily receiving letters urging Congress
to some action on the much m°<it?d
Questions. T 4 present movement
iffers frotq OQe started in
the West several years ago In the fact
that it is a compact of sharp, experi
enced, interested business men, engaged
in mercantile transportation interests in
the great cities, whereas the fovmr was
composed largely of farmers whose op
portunity pf concerting measures of re
lief were limited, and their methods nec
essarily crude. Jt was also unfortunate
that their plans fell under the manage
ment of political demagogues who had
no practical influence with anybody, and
who soon dragged the movement into
disrepute. A distinguished member of
Congress in conversation with your cor
respondent to-day,'said the indications
were favorable for a consideration of
these subjects in party platforms in the
near future.
“Polygamy must be broken up while
Utah is a Territory, or it will be fastened
permanently on the body politic. Con
gress has the power to regulate the social
condition ih the Territories, but when
they pass under State governments tra
dition is against such interference. Illi
nois could to-day legalise any social in
iquity which docs not interfere with the
liberty of citizen, and Congress would
be powerless to interfere. The sole and
only hopp pf rooting out polygamy of
this country lies in its overturn before
Utah shall be admitted into the Union.”—
Chicago Inter Ocean.
How can it be overturned unless the
government maintains its own laws in
force in Federal territory, or wipes it out
of existence by proclamation, if (as is
said) the laws cannot be enforced. The
Republican party has quietly oonsented
for eighteen years to a nullification of a
Federal statute by the Utah Mormons.
Successive Republican administrations
have advertised themselves as partners
in Mormon nullification of the Federal
laws.
The Inauguration.
Mobile Register.
Republican simplicity is fast becom
ing a meaningless expression in this
country. In private life our shoddy
millionaires ape the manners and cus
toms of the aristocracy of foreign lands,
and in public life the fondness for pomp
and display has been increasing every
year. The gradual change in our inau
guration ceremonies is an evidence of
4his.
On the fourth of March, 1801, Thomas
Jefferson, who certainly was equal in
intellect and ability to any who have
succeeded him in the Presidential chair,
rode unattended to the gate of the Capi
tol, tied his horse to the fence, went in
and took the oath of office as President
of the United States.
In this case there was doubtless too
little form and ceremony. It was carry
ing Democratic principles to an extreme,
but still Mr. Jefferson’s conduct stands
out in pleasing contrast to the hullabaloo,
the parade, the pomp, the noise and the
dust that have marked Presidential in
augurations for many years past.
A special effort is being made to give
to Garfield’s inauguration more pomp,
more noise, and more dust than gener
ally fall to the lot of the unfortunate
and inoffensive inhabitants of Washing
ton on these occasions. A cily that has
Congress in session during a large part
of the year ought to be spared this ad
ditional infliction. But it will not be.
Fourteen batteries of artillery of the
regular army, with a strong detachment
from the navy and marine corps, and a
host of militiamen from all parts of the
country, will take part in the procession.
There will be marching and counter
marching, banging of drums and bray
ing of horns, evolutions that will cause
General Sherman to feel that his milita
ry education has been neglected, a flow
of whisky that will exceed even that of
Eiatriotism, and to which patriotism will
argely be indebted for its enthusiasm,
and confusion worse confounded gener
ally. All of this for the use and behoof
and glorification of James A. Garfield,
the newly elected President of the
United States.
There is not much Republican sym
plicity about this. It is simply the out
growth of that love of show and display
that now pervades the country. The
managers of the inauguration ceremo
nies inform the public that this show
will be the finest ever seen in Washing
ton, just as our enterprising Mem
phis contemporaries assert that the
Mardi Gras show in that city will
excel anything of the kind ever wit
nessed in this country. Like the
Mardi Gras parades, the inaugura
tion will be followed by a ball. And
such a ball. Washington society, official
and unofficial, has been thrown into con
sternation by the intelligence that the
colored man and brother is investing
largely in tickets to the general Jambo
laya that is called the inauguration ball.
Theoretically, many of these people have
advocated negro equality, but the practi
cal applicai ion of the doctrine does not
seem to please them. They get but cold
comfort from the New York Herald,
which remarks:
"The negro is in the Senate and in the
House of Representatives. He is in the
Diplomatic and Consular Service, and he
is making a hard fight to get into the
Cabinet. Under the circumstance?, it
would be absurd to deny him the pre
cious privilege of being jostled and
crushed at an inauguration ball by the
Blaines, Hales, Congers and other states
men of the Republican party.”
Taking everything into consideration,
notwithstanding the fact that we are
rather fond of big shows, we shall not
attend the inauguration.
An Adventure on Ice.
Sew York Pott.
Patrolling the Battery is an airy and
picturesque occupation, more enticing,
may be, in the leafy month of June than
in a February "blizzard,” but at all
times likely to be diversified by sudden
excitement?, Occasionally, however,
these events are of so lively a description
that the officers would readily dispense
with them; and of such a kind was the
experience of officer Coyle, of the First
precinct, at midnight on Saturday.
It appears that Officer Coyle was stroll
ing at the witching hour named close by
Castle Garden, when suddenly, just as
Bernardo and Marcellus first saw the
ghostly Majesty of Denmark, he beheld
on the edge of the Battery sea wall a
strange apparition. This was a gentle
man who, the better to eDjoy the fresh
air, had divested himself of all clothes
except a shirt and a pair of trousers and
who was standing meditatively on one
leg and gazing toward Castle
William. To this singular person
officer Coyle at once addressed
the partly superfluous direction
to stand ana unfold himself. But instead
of complying, either by continuing to
stand or proceeding to unfold, the figure
dropped through a trap; or, in other
words, sprang over the wall and disap
peared behind it With natural curiosi
ty officer Coyle went up to the wall and
looked over. The mysterious stranger
had descended on a large cake of ice
which was near the shore, and now sat
there grinning at the officer with great
aff ibility.
Unable, as we gather from a report, to
account for these singular acts, the
officer now invited the other to come
ashore. But, quite charmed with his
coign of vantage, which was beginning
to move slowly further away from the
wall, the man on the ice tacitly declined.
Officer Coyle then peremptorily ordered
him to come ashore, whereupon the
man proceeded to behave in a manner
entirely surpassing for eccentricity all
his former action?. He suddenly drew
a revolver and fired three shots at the
officer in quick succession. Happily un
hurt, the officer rapped lustily for help,
and the mao, much displeased, fired a
fourth shot. This time, still according
to the report, “the ballet whistled so
close to the officer’s head that in the af
fright of the moment he fancied himself
shot and fell to the ground.”
At this juncture officer Long bore in
sight, having heard the raps, qqd officer
Coyle, having regained Ins feet and his
presence of mipd, the two, persuaded of
(ha futility of harsh measures, ingratia
lingly sought to coax the erratic manner
to land. But he, now obviously seriously
annoyed, answered their entreaties by
two more shots, each of which flew wide
of the mark. After further consultation
the officers decided to lasso their trouble
some opponent, and thus to drag him
ashore; and they procured a rope for the
purpose. Bijt abandoning this design
as evsr stringent, they got a boat and
started to row to the cake of ice. Even
then the resources of this fantastic per
son were not at an end. fpor no sooner
did he see that he vr*a about to be cap
tured than Ue plunged into the water
and struck out for Governor’s Island.
But his adventures were now brought to
a close, for he was soon overtaken, and
having been found to be a poor sailor In
a fit of temporary insanity, was lodged
in the Chambers Street Hospital.
ANTI-POLIGAMY.
The Ladles of Brooklyn Organizing
a Crusade Against Rformonlsm.
The Ladies’ Anti-Polygamy Society
of Brooklyn, N. Y., had a meeting
Thursday * afternoon. Mrs, Imogene
Fales presided. Many prominent ladies
of Brooklyn were present. The mes
sage of the Governor of Idaho on
the subject of polygamy was read
by the Secretary, Mrs. Bradshaw,
and favorably commented upon.
Thp society will place itself in commu
nication with all the principal cities,
with a view of forming auxiliary
ties. A committee was appointed to
confer wi*& Congressmen elect Bliss
and Smith and interest them in the work
which the society proposes to do. Print
ed petitions against polygamy will be
sent out for signatures. The clergymen
of Brooklyn will be requested to read
notices relative to the next meeting of
the society Irom their pulpits Sunday.
A letter from Rev. Dr. Ingersoll, of
Brooklyn, was read, in which he states
that ha will give the movement his
hearty co-operation, and profoundly
sympathizes with it, Letters were also
read from New York ladies, expressing
sympathy with the work.
An Arkansas Shooting Case.—A
special from Little Rock, Ark., says that
in a shooting affray in Benton county,
C. D. Gunter, a brother of Congressman
Gunter, shot and mortally wounded L.
B. Gamble. The difficulty originated
about the removal of a post office. Gam
ble knocked Gunter down, when Gunter
seized a shotgun and fired both barrels
at Gamble, who fell to the ground, say
ing, “I am i dead mam”
an extra session possible.
F4man4i and Coukliax Charged
with a I'urpoie to Force natter*.
Cincinnati Commercial,
Senator Edmunds has determined, it is
understood on the best authority, that
the country needs an extra session of
Congress, and that it is his duty as a
leader in the present Congress to bring
this good thing to pass. He never fal
ters when duty commands, and he does
not falter now. He has already conferred
not only with his Republican colleagues
of the Senate, but with leading Repub
licans of the House, and has urged them
in strong terms to such action or
non-action as would reder an extra
session of the Forty seventh Congress
inevitable. He thinks it is understood
that there should be an extra session, if
for no other reason so that committees
may be appointed to go South and in
vestigate the alleged disfranchisement of
colored Republicans. He thinks, too,
that the new House should organize at
once. He hopes, it is understood, that
some bill necessary to be passed may be
delayed until the 4th of March without
action. But, even if this should
not occur, he will urge the call
ing of au extra session. There
is a possibility that an extra session
may be necessary, but only a possibility.
Two weeks yet remain. The appropria
tion bills are well in hand, and the re
funding bill is in such a shape that it
will soon be in Mr. Hayes’ hands. These
are the only necessary ones, although
the river and harbor bill is watched with
more solicitude by many members. Its
failure would not occasion an extra ses
sion. Still, if the appropriation bills
were not all laws before it is reported to
the Senate, Edmunds, by filibustering
against it, can prevent the passage of an
essential bill, and the extra session must
be called.

North Carolina Minks. —Gold in
North Carolina exists principally in the
oentral and western parts of the State.
The yield has been probably $15,000,000.
At present there are some forty mines in
operation. The silver mines are neither
extensive nor valuable. For copper the
State is noted, the largest mine, and in
fact, the only real one, being that at Ore
Knob, in Ashe county, from which last
year 1,000.000 pounds of copper was
taken, the mine being one of the most
valuable in the country. At the Sam
Christian gold mine in Montgomery
county, which has been put down a3 a
played out North Carolina mine, in 88
working days of the last season 39 nug
gets ranging from 1,024 to 6 penny
weights "were found. Nine of these
weighed 141 pennyweights and two
weighed 132. One weighed 540 and an
other 484. The total weight of the 39
was 4,200. — Charleston News and Courier.
From Cabul, Afghanistan, comes the

father’s absence at Candahar last sum
