SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26. 1831-
TAPPING THE WIRES.
The House remained in session all night
Thursday, and at 6:40 a. m. yesterday, at
the suggestion of Mr. Hawley, appointed a
committee of five from each side of the
Chamber to arrange a basis of agreement
on the apportionment bill. The House then
took a recees till 10:30. Oa reassembling
the death of Senator Carpenter was
announced, and the House adjourned.
At yesterday’s session, which began
at eleven o’clock, the House
passed the Senate bill to Investigate the
claims of Florida for expenditures in sup
pressing Indian hostilities. The House next
went into committee of tbe whole on the
sundry civil bill. Mr. Atkins, of Tennes
see, after some remarks suggested by the
refusal of the House to* retain the
Item for the purchase of the Bragg
and Polk papers, withdrew his amendment
striking out the appropriation for the publi
cation of the official compilation of the
records of the civil war. Mr. Goode, of
Virginia, offered an amendment appropria
ting $200,000 for the purchase of coaling
stations for war steamers on the Isthmus of
Panama. Mr. Blount, of Georgia, opposed
the amendment. Mr. Whitthorne, of Ten
nessee, advocated it, and, after a noisy dis
cussion and without farther action, the
House adjourned.
In the Senate yesterday committees of
conference were appointed on appropria
tion bills in dispute. The agricultural bill
was reported back with amendments, and
Mr. Beck offered a substitute, which was
referred, for his bill in reference to the
lssne of legal tender notes to circulate as
money on deposit of gold, etc. The House
bills constituting Atlanta and Chattanooga
ports of delivery were passed. Mr. Wallace
submitted a report from tbe committee on
alleged frauds in tbe late elections. Tbe
agricultural bill was then taken up, consid
ered and passed as amended. Tbe Senate
then adjourned.
The trial of Colonel Cash at Darlington.
S. C., for the killing of Colonel Shannon in
a duel last summer, has made quick pro
gress. A jury, composed exclusively of
whites, was selected, and witnesses for
the State testified to tbe facts
heretofore reported. The declarations
of Cash prior to the killing were dwelt
upon by the prosecution. The defense of
fered no evidence. Argument Is in progress.
The defense justify on the ground that duels
are sanctioned by custom and the example
of prominent men. The opinion is that
Col Cash will be acquitted or the jury will
disagree.
Twenty persons were Injured in & railroad
accident in Texas Thursday night. The
disaster was caused by a split rail.
The seventh annual parade of the Knights
of Momus came off in New Orleans on
Thursday night. It was a brilliant affair,
and vss witnessed by immense throngs.
The public buildings and many business
houses were illuminated.
In the House of Commons the Marquis of
Hartlngton stated that the government had
made no promises to Russia as to the evacu
ation of Candahar, and he was not aware
that the late Ministry had made any.
lit. Hon. Grant Doff read a letter from the
Governor of Cape Colony, announcing that
the negotiations with the Basutos had
failed. The home government had ex
pressed its regret at the failure and
the severity of the terms. The de
bate on the coercion bill was re
sumed, and after midnight tbe motion of
Mr. McCarthy to reject It was negatived
and the bill passed.
The money market In New York yester
day was marked by great stringency
throughout the day. From this cause a re
markable decline was witnessed in the stock
market. In the last half hour the most in
tense' excitement prevailed and speculation
became wild. Transactions aggregated
710,000 shares.
A Cabinet meeting was held yesterday, at
which Mr. Sherman stated what had been
done to help the money market. The Evening
Ibxt, In its review of the dav, takes a hope
ful view of the outlook and thicks whatever
dangers threatened have been dissipated.
Governor Hawkins’ message to the Ten
nessee Legislature, transmitted yesterday,
deals with tbe question of the State debt,
urges an honorable adjustment, expresses
confidence in the ability of the people to
meet their obligations, and sets forth the
wisdom of their doing so.
The Orange Free State has declared offl
ctally Its sympathy for the Boers.
Among the additions recommended by
tbe Senate Committee on Commerce to the
river and harbor bill is an increase of $40,-
000 for tbe improvement of tbe harbor of
Savannah and the Savannah river.
In all the Cabinet speculations as to
who will be Secretary of the Treasury,
we can see, says the Nashville American,
a chance that the Gordion knot may be
cut in about tbe only way in which it
can be cut without offense to any fac
tion. If Sherman is retained, Conkling,
the Grant wing, the other side, the
clamorous West, all must submit to a de
cision based upon duty performed and
reputation made. It is the only way out
of the difficulty. Whether Sherman is
entitled to all the reputation he has made
as a financier or not, he has made it, and
Mr. Garfield can afford to throw that
reputation around his appointment, and
all must submit without a murmur. Of
ail speculations as to the Secretaryship of
the Treasury, this is the only one which
has the slightest plausibility. For that
course reasons can be given, even if it is
never taken. Leave that out, and all is
at sea.
The House having set apart next Sun
day for eulogies upon the late Fernando
Wood, because it was believed that every
working day remaining to the session
would be required to get through neces
sary legislation, the Star suggests that
it would be good policy to have all the
eulogies upon deceased members deliv
ered on Sunday, as there is nothing in
such proceeding in the least obnoxious
to the orthodox view of a proper observ
ance of the Sabbath.
The Shyster Press vs. Wisdom and
Truth. —Mr. Hayes, in a recent speech
before the Press Association of Balti
more, truly said: “The best newspaper
carries with it nothing but wisdom and
truth. The standard author speaks only
to the few, the newspaper to the millions.
The rubbish will go, the golden truth
will remain eternal and imperishable.
All honor, then, to the men who give
the world a good newspaper.”
The Arkansas Legislature is after the
quack doctors. A bill has passed the
Senate providing for the appointment of
Board of Examiners in each county to
pass upon the qualifications of persons
desiring to practise medicine or surgery.
Persons practising without license from
the board are deemed guilty of a misde
meanor and punished accordingly, each
day’s practice without registration being
titled a separate offense.
The East river bridge, connecting New
York and Brooklyn, work on which has
been in progress ten years, and upon
which many millions of dollars have
been expended, will be open for foot
travel, according to the statements of the
master mechanic, in the spring of 1882,
and for travel by cars two months after
word.
Diversity of Crops.
In a recent article headed “A Word to
Planters,” the New Orleans Democrat
gives its farming friends a good deal of
sensible advice on the subject of a diver
sity of crops, and on the advisability of
raising ail the corn, fodder and meat re
quired for home consumption, together
with their cotton, sugar and rice. It ad
mits that it would, of course, be quite
impossible to advance any arguments on
tbe subject which have not Ably been ad
vanced a thousand times before, but it
is a subject of such vital importance to
the farmers throughout the South gener
ally that it cannot be impressed upon
them too frequently.
This advice is called forth by a letter
from a correspondent of that paper, who
draws a gloomy picture “of sofas being
worn smooth by the wriggles of the
wretched planters, who depend entirely
on one crop, and coming out, as they
often do, in debt to the merchant, vainly
plead for more money with which to
make another venture.” And the writer
thinks that it does seem marvelous that
in spite of years of sad experience, and
of the wrecked hopes of many who fol
lowed blindly in the footsteps of their
fathers, the planters as a rule will persist
in pursuing the same course.
Commenting on these suggestions of
its correspondent, our New Orleans con
temporary seriously urges the planters
not only to raise all the corn and hay
they may require, but also their meat, vege
tables, etc., for in this way, and in this
way alone, will they become independent
and amass certain fortunes. It con
fesses that the temptation to raise one
crop is very great, and at times quite
irresistible; but it well says so is the
temptation to speculate in any other
way, and the only safety lies in the
putting aside firmly the allurements of
high prices and of providing beyond per
adventure against the need for food
for man and beast It thinks
tbat there are far too many
articles of all kinds bought at the
neighboring and convenient store. Al
most everything in the shape of apparel,
except articles of fine texture, can and
should be made on the plantation, and
our planters who were before the war
accustomed to do things in a princely
and expensive style, and who have not,
as a rule, forgotten their old habits,
must learn to husband their resources,
to economize in small things, to be con
siderate of what are called trifles, before
they can hope to be on even terms with
the farmers of other sections of the
country, and before they can dictate
terms to their factors.
This advice of the Democrat is sound
and true, and worthy of serious consid
eration. Building all hopes upon cotton
alone does very well when the crop
turns out well, and high prices rule, but
even then it would be far better for the
South at large, if, instead of having to
send to the West for the purchase of
supplies the money received for cotton,
it could be kept at home. But
such a policy, when the crop
turns out badly, or prices are depressed,
is simply ruinous and disastrous. So
long as it is persisted in, the accumula
tion of wealth and the acquisition of
political and commercial power by our
section will be delayed, and the North
will be the longer enabled to continue
its sneers at "the poverty stricken
South. ”
The action of the national banks in
New York last Thursday in attempting
to create a money panic so as either to
frighten the House into refusing to con
cur in the Senate amendments to the
funding bill, or to inducing Mr. Hayes
to veto the measure, was very transpar
ent, and the promptness with which the
movement was squelched when Secre
tary Sherman made known his intention
of unloosing from the Treasury vaults
several millions of dollars for the re
demption of the maturing bonds is very
significant. It conclusively teaches the
banks the lesson that the financial con
dition of the United States is such that
with ail their power they are not able at
this time to involve the country in mone
tary disaster.
The banks will do well to heed the
lesson, for, as it is, they have probably
already gone too far. They have not
only threatened the country with a panic,
but have actually endeavored to execute
their threats. The continuance in their
hands of a power which, under other cir
cumstances, they might use with dan
gerous effect, and their manifest willing
ness to use it whenever their own selfish
interests can be advanced thereby, will
tend, to say the least, to make them very
unpopular institutions.
The earnest desire of the Boers for
peace with freedom was strongly shown
in their overtures for the cessation of
hostilities immediately after twice re
pulsing Sir George Colley. The sincerity
of this desire has been still more vividly
shown by their withdrawal from Sir
Evelyn Wood's front, as if willing to do
nothing that would render peace nego
tiations impracticable. This is what tbe
British call being baffled and bewildered
by Gen. Wood’s rapidity. Meanwhile,
the British apparently are not too proud
to play double with this little body of
opponents. They begin negotiations,
and under cover of them, push on re
enforcements as if nothing of the kind
were in progress. Evasive answers are
also'given to very straightforward ques
tions. England treats this little com
munity of farmers as she would not
venture to treat Germany or Russia, un
der like circumstances,
A correspondent of the Detroit Free
Pre wants Judge Tourgee to come on
one of his errands to Michigan, which is
"peninsular in form, orthodox in reli
gion, agricultural in its pursuits and vio
lently Republican in politics.” Yet,
still upon its statute books there is evi
dence of “barbarous legislation” charac
teristic of the era of former days. It is
hardly credible that in this State there
exists "a SSOO penalty for the perform
ance of the marriage ceremony if one of
the contracting parties has the misfor
tune to be white while the other is
black." “It is to be hoped,” he adds,
“that such injustice is fast dying out
and that before many years have passed,
our laws will realize the degradation of
a measure that does not recognize the
natural rights of a woman simply be
cause her Maker has seen fit to give her
a white skin.”
Louisiana Consols in Europe.— The
New Orleans Picayune of Wednesday
says: “Wears informed on good authori
ty that the recent purchases of State
bonds by New York houses were mainly
on European orders. It is said that Eu
ropean capitalists have taken thus far
$2,000,000 Louisiana consols at an aver
age price a little above 80 cents. This
briPjgs over $1,000,000 cash to our bank
vaults, and adds tbat much to our work
ing capital. With intelligent manage
ment both the State and city debt,
amounting to over $25,009,000, could be
placed abroad on a i per cent basis,
and be the means of bringing in that
much capital, which is so badly needed
here it yields 8 and 10 per cent”
The Milltarv Committee and the In
augural Parade.
At a meeting of the committee on the
inauguration procession ceremonies, etc.,
held in Washington City on Monday
night, a spirit of small souled malignity
towards the South was manifested on
the part of some members of tbe com
mittee, which will excite only contempt
in tbe minds of honorable men of all
sections. In the course of the proceed
ings of the meeting Geneial Crittenden
called attention to the marshals appoint
ed by General Sherman. He said that
there was General Fletcher, who, if he
was not General Tom Fletcher, of Mis
souri, was one of those graduates of
West Point who had left the regular
army to go into the Confederate service.
General Field, now the doorkeeper of
the House, had done the same thing.
He was opposed to having the inaugural
procession under the charge of Con
federates.
General McMillan moved that the mar
shals be requested to wear on the day of
the procession the same uniform they did
during the war. [Laughter and ap
plause.]
Colonel Beelsford offered an amend
ment to General Crittenden’s motion that
only Ulfion or ex Union soldiers be ap
pointed commanders of divisions in the
inaugural procession, which was accept
ed by the mover.
General Bacon moved to strike out the
words “ex-Union soldiers” and insert
“those who had not engaged in rebellion
against the United States.”
General Bacon’s amendment was
adopted, and then the entire motion was
adopted.
The Richmond Dispatch thinks it is a
beautiful commentary upon the profes
sions of these stalwarts that they thus
always and everywhere endeavor to keep
alive sectional strife, and to make the
Southern people feel that they are not in
the Union.
The Dispatch may thank its stars that
the immaculate patriots of the inaugu
ration committee did not pass a resolu.
tion ruling the visiting military from
Virginia and other Southern States out
of the procession. Indeed, the “ex
rebe” may be thankful tbat they are to
be permitted to see the stalwart show at
all.
The New Conquest of Mexico.
The extension of the American railway
system to the Mexican frontier (soon to
be extended through Mexico itself) is
already working marvelous changes in
the character of the country. It is only
some eighteen months ago that the first
train ran into the town of Los Vegas,
New Mexico. At that time it was
but an agglomeration of wretched
mud huts, with a few hundred “greas
ers” as its population. Now, all
that is changed. Tne town has been
rebuilt; handsome modern edifices, in
cluding one for a first national bank,
have taken the place of the mud hovels,
a street railway has been constructed,
and this spring the place will be lighted
with gas, and, instead of a lazy, lounging
population, the “universal Yankee” is
to be found everywhere developing the
resources of the town and making things
generally very lively. A correspondent
of the Chicago Tribune, in speaking of
the future prospects of the country, says:
“It seems odd to see two races, with
such entirely different customs, living
together this way. The sixteenth and
ninteenth centuries are side by side. *
* * Not satisfied with the fields for
investment in these territories, adven
turers are operating in old Mexico. The
road in Sonora is completed from Guay
mas to Hermoßillo, a distance of forty
five miles, and trains are running be
tween those points. With railroad
communication with two seaports
on the Pacific coast, and also
with the City of Mexico, and,
moreover, with the Texas roads that are
pushing for El Paso, there are bright
prospects in the future for the great
Southwest. The mining fields at White
Oaks and in the Cerrillos, New Placers,
Jicarillas and Mogollons, the immense
fields of grazing lands and gramma grass
on the Pecos, the vineyards along the
Rio Grande, will accomplish much for
New Mexico in the next few years, and
there can be no doubt that with our
genial climate and complete system of
railways the tide of immigration will be
lured this way.”
Asa promoter of modern civilization,
remarks the New York Commercial Bul
letin, there is nothing like the railroad.
Thirty years ago the conquest of Mexico
was effected by Generals Scott and Tay
lor. Another conquest is now impend
ing, but the forces employed will not be
the man on horseback, but the capitalist,
the civil engineer and the locomotive.
Reporting Speeches by Electrici
ty.—A special cable dispatch from Paris
says: “Several successful experiments
were made Sunday at the Palais Bour
bon with the electric reporting machine,
which it is proposed to introduce into
the Chambers. M. Gambetta was pres
ent The machine has the appearance
of a small piano, and is played like that
instrument by an operator on a key
board of ten notes. Three notes are set
apart for reporting foreign quotations.
As fast as the orator speaks the operator
touches the keyboard, on which each
sound has a corresponding key. The
machine instantly represents the sounds
by conventional signs on a strip of
paper. The signs have afterwards to ba
translated. About two years are requir
ed for learning how to manipulate and
make use of the instrument, which is
the invention of an Italian named
Mitchella.”
A letter written by General Grant to
his father describing the surrender of
Vicksburg was sold at an autograph sale
in Boston last week. “I found,” writes
the General, “I fiad continuously under
estimated the force of the enemy, both
in men and artillery. The number of
prisoners surrendered was 30,200. The
process of paroling is so tedious, how
ever, that many who are desirous of get
ting to their homes wil) escape before
the paroling officers get around to them.
The arms taken are about 180 pieces of
artillery and over 80,000 stand of small
arms. The enemy still had about four
days’ rations of flour and meat, and a
large quantity of sugar. The weather is
now exceedingly warm, and the roads in
tolerably dusty. It cannot be expected,
under these circumstances, that the
health of this command can keep up as
it has done. My troops were not allowed
one hour’s idle time after the surrender,
but were at once started after other
game. My health has continued very
good during the campaign which has
lust closed. Remember me to all at
home. Ulysses.”
When, If at All, Senator Blaine
will Resign.—lt is now stated that
Senator Blaine will not resign until
March 4th. His original intention had
been to mail his resignation to the Gov
ernor of Maine last Saturday night
This change of plan is explained by one
of his friends, who says; “The Senator
does not want to place himself in a posi
tion to be retired to private life. Such a
Cabinet may be formed by Gen. Garfield
that Senator Blaine might not be dis
posed to go into it”

The First Porcelain Factory 1b the
United States.
The first manufactory of translucent
poreelain in the United States has re
cently been established in New Orleans
by Mr. Eugene Surgi, who has engaged
the services of Mr. d’Estampes, formerly
director of a porcelain factory at Yier
zan, France. The latter had already
started the business in New Orleans m a
small way, but was importing his kaolin
from France, being ignorant that kaolin
of the requisite quality could be obtained
in this country. Tbe firm of capitalists
who took over the business of Mr. d’Es
tampes for the purpose of conducting it
on a large scale, caused a search to be
made for the proper kind of kaolin, and
ultimately found it in Robertson county,
Texas, on the line of the Houston and
Texas Central Railroad. The first batch
of the new porcelain has just been drawn
from the kiln, and is said to be excellent
ware, though a little off color from the
dampness of the new kiln. In white
glazed pottery ware, for ordinary domes
tic service, the factories at Trenton, Bal
timore and elsewhere are turning out
table and chamber services equal to the
best of the Kind imported, and the de
maud is such that two new establish
ments have recently been opened in Bal
timore, and the decoration, which until
lately was done in Trenton, is now done
in Baltimore by art workmen brought
on for the purpose.
Objections to Mr. Beecher.
Cincinnati Qaxette.
Oberlin is anything but a stagnant
place. Its people have a good many
ideas —some irreverent persons might
call them notions—and when they exist
they are pretty sure to be ventillated.
The present sensation arises from the
facts that the Rev. H. W. Beecher has
been invited to lecture in the town, and
that the trustees of the First Congrega
tional Church have opened that building
for his use. The Rev. George Thomp
son, formerly missionary to Africa, is
particularly shocked at this action. He
claims that many other citizens,
like him, are filled with deep grief,
and he protests against the “humilia
tion;” first, because it would wound
many hearts; second, because it would be
a world wide disgrace to Oberlin, and a
dishonor to God, to receive as a public
lecturer one whom many held to be a
bad man. Many believe him to be an
adulterer, and in accordance with them
was the late President Finney, whose
pulpit he will occupy. Further, Mr.
Beecher has lately renounced Christiani
ty, and by inviting him and listening to
him a forbidden sanction is given to the
man and his course. Some of Mr.
Beecher’s rather irreverent Scripture
comments are quoted in proof of this
charge, and, with many ejaculations of
“Horrible!” “Shame!” etc., Mr. Thomp
son closes his appeal. Quite a number
of prominent citizens have signed the
protest, it is said, and it remains to be
seen whether Beecher will be warned
not to appear.
The Geographical Society of Paris has
been or is about to be regaled with the
narrative of a year of captivity among
the Malay pirates. Mr. Ten Brink,
attached to the medical service of the
Netherlands, is the subject of this un
fortunate experience. He was on an
exploring expedition when his vessel
was waylaid by the marauders, who
killed most of his companions, set fire
to his ship, and would doubtless
have put sn end to Mr. Ten
Brink had not their* chief taken a
fancy to the explorer and carried him off
to his hut. Imagine the Dutchman’s
surprise when his meuer, who spoke ex
cellent English and seemel much im
pressed with the advantages of English
civilization, informed him that he was
to consider himself thenceforward a
slave. He naturally enough remon
strated, whereupon the chief procured a
sword and sliced his nose off. He then
acquiesced. In the course of his year of
captivity Mr. Ten Brink lost an ear in a
similar manner. Happily, before his
tongue went, a Dutch vessel rescued
him, and the Malay was shot.
A Mans Bite Causing Death. —A
telegram from Buffalo, February 21,
says: Welcome Arnold, of Kingston, R.
1., died yesterday at the Continental
Hotel under sad and singular circum
stances. He was on his way from Kan
kakee with his wife, two children and
brother-in law, George G. Clark, to their
Eastern home, and arrived here by way
of the Canada Southern Saturday even
ing. He had been very ill, but had re
covered sufficiently, as was thought, to
undertake the journey from Illinois to
Rhode Island. After starting, however,
he was again attacked, and on reaching
Buffalo it became necessary to go to a
hotel. Mr. Clark stated that about eight
years ago Mr. Arnold had been bitten by
a man suffering from hydrophobia. Four
years later he manifested symptoms of
the same horrible disease, but w T as sup
posed to have recovered. During his
recent visit to Illinois he was again at
tacked, and part of the time was little
better than a raving maniac. Mr.
Arnold was only 29 years old.
Fatal Blood Poisoning from a Po
tato Bug. —A telegram to the Chicago
Times from Richmond, Indiana, says:
“Richard Jackson, Secretary and Treas
urer of the Chase Piano Company, died
at his home on Linden Hill Wednesday.
His death was the result of a strange
case of blood poisoning, which he firmly
believed was caused by accidentally
crushing a potato bug in his hand last
spring, and touching the inside of his
ear with it. The ear immediately gath
ered, and deep seated abscesses followed,
which baffled the skill of the best phy
sicians in New York and Cincinnati. He
suffered terribly. Recently the poison
began to spread through his system, and
Wednesday morning it reached his heart,
pausing death.”
A Canary Bird Gives a Fire Alarm.
—Father Brosnan, of the Church of St.
Charles Borromeo, in Sidney place,
Brooklyn, N. Y., was awakened at 2:30
p. m. Thursday by the fluttering of a
canary bird in his room. He found the
cause of the bird’s alarm to be a fire in
the St. Philomena Institute, which stands
next to the pastoral residence. The other
inmates of the house were aroused.
Father Ward ran to the corner of Clin
ton street and Atlantic avenue, where he
found a policeman, who sent out an
alarm. The fire was soon got under con
trol. It had started on the first floor,
near the furnace, and the damage, which
is estimated at $5,000, is confined chiefly
to the school rooms on the first and second
floors.
About that Picture of Mrs. Hayes.
—An impression altogether erroneous
prevails concerning the origin, object
and destination of Huntington’s portrait
of Mrs. Hayes. It has been painted by
order of a commission of leading tem
perance people, of which Miss Frances
E. Willard, President of the Woman’s
National Christian Temperance Union,
is President. Its object is to commemo
rate the example of Mrs. Hayes in banish
ing intoxicating liquors from the White
House, and it is to be presented to the
new President of the United States as
the nation’s representative, and placed in
the White House, the donors say, “as a
perpetual memorial of a brave and noble
deed.” — Washington Star.
The North Carolina Moonshiners’
War. Collector Wheeler telegraphed
Commissioner Raum from Winston, N.
C., on Wednesday, as follows: "My
raiding force in Randolph and Guilford
counties last week captured the illicit
distilleries of Richard Scott, Wesley
Holden, Peter Warner, Nathan York
and John Hemphill. Destroyed four
stills, thirty-three gallons of whisky,
forty-five gallons singlings and 5,700
gillons of mash. J. H. Stecho and

wounded.”

A Bitter Bereavement.—Ellen
Dunn, a little girl of eleven, dropped
dead in front of the school house she at
tended at 2d avenue and 76th street.
She was the last of the seven children of
a poor widow, who tried to support her
by washing and ironing. Yesterday the
latter went out in quest of work, which
she was unable to procure, and was re
turning home dispirited when she saw
the crowd before the school-house, and
on joining it found her child lying on
the pavement lifeless. Dr. Moss, who
had been sent for, was unable to be of
any service, and the remains of the dead
girl were taken to her humble home at
No. 282 east 76th street, where the sor
rowing parent was forced by her poverty
to lay them out upon a rough deal board
till some undertaker would be prevailed
upon to assume the task of burying
them, which the air of want the place
bore was likely to restrain many of them
from doing.—A. Y. Uerald. 22d.
