TAPPING THE WIBES.
A conference of the Democratic Senator*
waa held on Saturday to exchange view*
upon the order of business and other topics.
The necessity ol electing a successor to Mr.
Tnurman as President pro tern, of the Senate
was brought to the notice of the gathering,
and it was agreed to hold a caucus for this
purpose before the 4th of March. Mr.
Wallace was directed to examine the cre
dentials of the new Senators. It is thought
the present organization will be continued,
provided the Democrats control the Senate.
The jury in the case of Colonel Cash, on
trial at Darlington, S. C., for the killing of
Colonel Shannon, failed to agree, and have
been discharged. They stood eight for con
viction and four for acquittal. The result
is regarded as a victory for the anti-duelling
sentiment of the State.
The New York stock market on Saturday
opened strong and buoyant, and notwith
standing the fluctuations that were wit
nessed closed with prices showing npward
tendencies. The transactions aggregated
611,000 shares.
Mt. St. Marv’s College at EmmetUburg,
Md., is reported to be involved to the ex
tent of from $150,000 to $300,000. The

has been appointed.
A dispatch from SandersvlUe, Ga., aays
the negro prisoners in the Washington
county jail attempted to burn the structure

the Deputy Sheriff.
The House went into committee of the
whole on the sundry civil bill. The pend
ing amendment appropriating $300,000 for
naval coasting stations on the Isthmus of
Panama was adopted. An amendment
offered by Mr. Manning, of Mississippi,
appropriating SIO,OOO to investigate the
Labits of the cotton worm, was ruled out.
An amendment was adopted fixing
the amount for surveying public
lands at $300,000. Mr. Ilorr, of
Michigan, offered an amendment
providing that Wm. F. Geary (Federal
official) who was shot in South Carolina re
cently by one Kelly, shall be paid SIOO per
mouth from February 14th, ISSI, so long as
he shall be disabled by wounds received In
the discharge of his duty. Mr. Blount
raised a point of order on the resolution,
which, after a scene of wild confusion, was
sustained, and the amendment ruled out.
An even noisier discussion arose on the
proposition to pay certain contestants an
increase over the amounts specified. Finally
the bill, as amended, was reported to the
House, aud a recess was taken till to-day.
In the Senate, Saturday, Mr. Vance in
troduced a bill for the purchase of the
papers of the late Generals Bragg and Polk.
Mr. Burnside addressed the Senate on the
resolutions, reciting that the consent of the
Ucited States is a condition precedent to
the building of inter-oceanic canals. Mr.
Eaton expressed a desire to have the reso
lution passed, but as Mr. Windom, who
desired to speak upon the subject, was
absent, the matter went over. The Sen
ate then took up the river and har
bor bill. Various amendments to the meas
ure were proposed, the majority of wbieh
were rejected. Among those rejected were
several preposed by Mr. Brown for the Im
provement of Georgia streams. Mr. Hill
dwelt upon the exactions of railroad mag
nates in the matter of freight charges, and
argued In favor of an improved system of
water ways. Despite the determined oppo
sition of its opponents the bill was passed,
and the Senate adjourned.
The House Committee of Ways and
Means met on Saturday and instructed Mr.
Tucker to call the bill up from the Speak
er’s table when tbe sundry civil bill should
have been disposed of. There are nine bills
ahead of it, but the House can, at its
pleasure, lay them aside and pass to the
consideration of the measure.
In the suit of the French Cable Company
for an injunction to restrain the telegraphic
consolidation, affidavits were filed and ar

The new prohibitory law in Kansas
compels every physician to take an oath
not to prescribe any article into which
alcohol enters, except it is necessary for
tbe health of the patient, and every drug
gist to take a similar oath not to put up
or sell any such article except on the
written or printed prescription, duly
signed, of a practising physician. Under
that law no one can buy camphor,
cologne or flavoring extracts, except
upon a physician’s prescription.

net members will have to go to work.

It is stated that General Grant and

A church and two hundred houses
have been demolished and several per
sons killed by shocks of earthquake at
8L Michael’s, in the Azores. It is re
ported that there were no less than
thirty six successive shocks.
How the Death of Senator Carpen
ter May Affect the Reorganization
of the Senate.
The death of Senator Carpenter, says
tbe Washington Pott, disarranges the
plans which, it is believed, had been
made for a reorganization of the Senate'
after the 4th of March. It has been
the invariable custom for the outgoing
President to call an extraordinary session
of the Senate on the 4th of March, to
confirm the Cabinet officers of the new
administration, and such other impor
tant appointments as he may choose
to make at the beginning of his term.
The Forty-sixth Congress expires at
noon on March 4, the end of the
third legislative day of the month. The
new Vice President is sworn in a few
moments before noon on the 4th; the
proclamation convening the extraordina
ry session of the Senate is read, and
when the new legislative day begins, the
Senators elected from the 4th of March
take the oath, and the Senate assists in
tbe inauguration of tbe President. It is
believed that the Republicans intended,
shortly after March 4th, to attempt the
election of new officers of the Senate,
relyiog upon the votes of Senator Mahone
and Vice President Arthur to give them
a majority for that purpose. Mr. Carpen
ter’s death renders it impossible to adopt
such a programme unless the President
should deem it wise not to convene
an extraordinary session of the Senate
on the 4th of March. The Wisconsin
Legislature is now in session, conse
quently the Governor cannot appoint.
Under the law the Legislature cannot
elect until the second Tuesday after the
vacancy occurs. Even should there be
no protracted struggle for the honor of
filling Mr. Carpenter’s seat, anew Sena
tor cannot be sworn in from Wisconsin
before the 12th of March. The two
houses of the Legislature will meet sep
arately on the Bth proximo to choose a
Senator. If there is no delay the
houses will elect in joint conven
tion on the day following. Three days
will necessarily elapse before the cre
dentials reach Washington, and the new
Senator can be sworn in. If the Presi
dent convenes an extra session on the
4th of March the Democrats, being in a
majority, will immediately proceed to
the reorganization of the committees.
The Executive business will be disposed
of, and the Senate will adjourn, placing
it out of the power of the Republicans
to reorganize until next winter, and
possibly not for a long time to
come. Changes in the strength of
the two parties in the Senate may
occur before next December. It is with
in the power of Mr. Hayes to give the
Republican party material assistance at
this juncture. The Senate is a perpet
ual body, and the presence of the twen
ty-five Senators whose new terms begin
on the 4th of March is not indispensable
to the inauguration of General Garfield.
Mr. Hayes, by calling an extraordinary
session of the Senate to meet on the 15th
of March, or by calling no session what
ever, leaving that duty to be performed
by the President elect, would obviate
the difficulty. In so doing, however, the
precedents of the past would be disre
garded.
The Chicago Tribune suggests a trick
by which the law may be evaded and
the vacant seat of the deceased Senator
be filled by a Radical in time to partici
pate in a Radical reorganization of tbe
Senate. “It is true,’’says the Tribune,
“that, under the law for filling a vacan
cy in the United States Senate during
the session of the Legislature of the
State in which such vacancy occurs.
Senator Carpenter’s successor cannot be
elected until the second Tuesday after
the official announcement of his death
shall be made. This will prevent the
choice of his successor by election until
Tuesday, March 8, but the delay
can be avoided by an adjournment
of the Legislature sine die, with
the understanding that the Governor
shall call anew session after the 4th of
March. In the meantime the Governor
will be authorized to appoint a successor
to Senator Carpenter’s seat, because the
law does not impose upon him, in the
absence of the Legislature, the delay
which it otherwise required. The Re
publicans may possibly indicate by cau
cus action their preference for the tem
porary appointment, which the Governor
might follow to relieve himself from em
barrassment. After reassembling the
Legislature -would be able to proceed
regularly with the election of Senator."
Such a manoeuvre would be worthy of
the Radicals, whose motto is “anything
to preserve the party in power.” Such a
proceeding would not only be disgrace
fully partisan, but clearly in violation of
the letter and spirit of the law, which
authorizes the Governor to fill such
vacancies in the United States Senate
only when the Legislature of the State
is not in session. The vacancy
in this case occurred while the Legisia
ture of Wisconsin is in regular session.
The action of that body should be regu
lated by the existing law and not by tbe
exigencies of party. To depart from
the order of proceeding as prescribed
by the law, and temporarily adjourn for
the sole purpose of giving the Governor
an opportunity to evade the law, would
be disgraceful even to the Radical party.
Defeat of the Radical Ring in Phila
delphia.
The Philadelphia Bulletin, whose can
didates were defeated at the recent elec
tion in that city, says of Tuesday’s
work:
“Philadelphia went Democratic, yes
terday, by one of those wild surges of
well managed excitement that some
times sweep over communities, and the
old flag that was hauled down by a dis
gusted people, in 1871, again floats over
what has so long been the great citadel
of American Republicanism. To
day, the Democratic party, skill
fully seizing the opportunity put within
its reach by the inflamed condition
of popular sentiment, has captured the
three important positions of the Mayor
alty, City Comptrollership and the Tax
Office, giving to that party a tremendous
leverage for the entire overthrow of
Reputdicanism in Philadelphia. It would
be foolish to undervalue the moral effect
of such a Democratic victory. It will
undoubtedly be felt throughout the
States, and'will be found exerting itself
with all its natural forces in the future,
not only in its effects upon the welfare
of Philadelphia, but in those still greater
interests that reach to all the borders of
Pennsylvania.”
That result, says the Courier-Journal,
gives the lie to the Republican assertion,
after the election in November, that the
people of the United States had declared
in favor of Republican principles for all
time to come. If the people can, in a
few weeks, overturn the massive
machinery in the greatest Republican
stronghold in the country, it is evident
that under the pressure of profound dis
gust with high-handed and corrupt Re
publican methods in national politics,
they can hurl that party from power at
Washington with all its stupendous
machinery for self perpetuation. If Gar
field takes aboard a little too much
stalwartism, his party may rest assured
that they will be cut off like the wicked.
The total amount of the claims of the
depositors in the swindling “Ladies’
Deposit” institution, In Boston, the
manager of which is now in jail on an
indictment for fraud, is $257,990.
HAYES’LAST RECEPTION AT THE
WHITE HOUSE.
A Splendid Affair—Three Tfeonuod
6wti la Attendance—The To lie t
tee—Capture of Truant Cos ns real
men, Etc.
Correspondence of the Baltimore Suit.
The fourth and final reception of the
diplomatic corpe was given at the Ex
ecutive Mansion by the President and
Mrs. Hayes on Thursday evening. As
was anticipated, it was largely attended,
the number being estimated at three
thousand. There were in all twelve
hundred invitations issued, each
being for four persons. The
diplomatic receptions given dur
ing the administration of President
Hayes have all been great successes in a
social way, and that of this evening was
no exception to the rule. Much of this
is due to the charming agreeableness of
the esteemed lady who has presided over
the internal affairs of the White House,
and many who have in previous years
made it a point to absent themselves
from formal receptions have felt a pleas
ure in participating in those which Mrs.
Hayes has presided over.
Though in name a diplomatic recep
tion, the d : plomats and their ladies
formed quite a small portion of the im
mense gathering present Thursday
night. The diplomats were, as
usual on such occasions, attired
in the dress of their courts, and
presented a brilliant appearance as they
moved about the grand rooms of the
White House, which has been the scene
of so many notable and brilliant gather
ings. To meet them nearly all the offi
cers of the army and navy in the city
were invited to be present, and the most
of them accepted the invitation. They
too were attired in showy uniforms, re
splendent in gilt and glitter, the whole,
as brought out by the hundreds of gas
jets burning overhead, forming a scene
that was extremely pleasing to the eye.
Added to this was a great concourse of
handsomely dressed ladies, which gave a
richness and animation that perfected
the whole. The majority of the ladies
wore full dress, and almost every con
ceivable color ot material was brought
into use. Rare ornaments, regal jewels
and flowers were to be seen every
where.
To accommodate the vast number the
arrangements were perfect The bed
chambers, the waiting rooms and the
halls up stairs were turned into cloak
rooms for the ladies, while the state and
private dining rooms and several of the
halls down stairs were occupied as sup
per rooms. The hundred additional ex
perienced waiters who were employed
for tbe evening made the task of serving
the supper au easy one, notwithstanding
the large number. There was no regu
lar set meal, though the supper was an
extra prepared and a very substantial
one. The dishes were elaborate and the
confections were especially beautiful.
In accordance with the well known
views of Mrs. Hayes there was no wine
served, and indeed none has ever been
asked for or expected at the White
House since she declared against wine at
state dinners. In this declaration Mrs.
Hayes has received the cordial support
of all the leading members of the diplo
matic corps and their ladies, notwith
standing what has been said to the con
trary.
The United States Marine Band, which
was stationed in the main hail, furnished
music during the evening, the selections
being from the popular operas of the
day, and one or two from “The
Smugglers,” an opera written by Prof.
Sioussa, the new leader of the band,
which is soon to be produced in New
York. The east room, the blue, green
and red parlors were used for promena
ding. The guests were received in the
central parlor by tbe President and Mrs.
Hayes, the members of tbe diplo
matic corps and their ladies be
ing introduced by Secretary Evarts
and Sir Edward Thornton, the
English minister, who is, on account of
time of service, now the dean of the
corps. The army and navy officers
and their ladies were presented
afterwards and then in turn intro
duced generally. The Justices of
the Supreme Court and their la
dies were likewise special guests,
though all the others present except
those named were general guests. The
leading members of both branches of
Congress were present in numbers larger
than usual. The reception did not get
fairly started until 9 o’clock.
Mrs. Hayes never looked brighter or
happier than she did during the evening,
and as usual Impressed all her guests
favorably. She was becomingly dressed
in a reception dress of silver-colored and
white satin. The corsage, draperies and
train were of silvered satin. The dress
was cut square in the neck, and was
handsomely finished with bands of crys
tal passementerie. The upper part 'of
the elbow sleeves were of crystal em
broidered crepe lisse, garnitures of the
same material being mingled in the dra
peries. The petticoat was likewise of
white satin. She wore neither flowers
or jewels.
An incident of the evening was the
capture of several members of the House
of Representatives by deputies of the
Sergeant-at-AriES, who were armed with
warrants issued by Speaker Randall.
The House having ordered a call of the
House, their presence was needed at the
capitol. They went reluctantly, though
they had imagined they were safe for
the evening. Other members were
similarly treated as they were leaving
the White House. The reception lasted
until nearly midnight, and will long be
remembered as an occasion of rare social
pleasure.
Preparations for the Inauguration
Ball.
Chicago Timet.
The grand hall of the National Mu
seum building, where the inaugural ball
is to be held, will at once be put in readi
ness for the event. The hall itself
covers over 80,000 square feet, but is
really divided into a dozen or more
smaller halls, divided from each other
by piers or arches. The piers will be
adorned in the main hall with the coat
of arms of the different States and Ter
ritories. Above them, and to which
they will be secured, will be the
coat of arms of the nation. The lat
ter will be draped by National and
State flags. The ceiling will be deco
rated by flower garlands and loops
of national colors. In the centre of the
rotunda, under the dome, there will be
a colossal statue of Liberty. This has
already been erected. The figure holds
in her left hand the American shield; in
the right is a torch, from which will
burn an electric light, the rays of which
will be thrown in every direction. The
figure is sixteen feet high, and looks as
if It were cut in marble. From the base
of the pedestal to the light in the right
hand is a measurement of thirty
feet. On the eight piers of the
dome surrounding the statue there
will be emblems of industry,
science, painting, architure, scripture,
agriculture, commerce and law. The
galleries and the balconies that surround
the hall will be decorated mainly with
flags and draperies. It is expected that
the President and the invited guests will
be in the main hall on the west end of
the building. That side will be deco
rated with the flags of all nations, sur
mounted by the American eagle—indica
tive of peace with all nations. The
promenade music will be in tbe gallery
at the east end of the building. The
grand orchestra of one hundred people
will be placed at tbe south end of the
building, which has been proportionately
enlarged for that purpose.
Woman suffrage is. receiving hard
blows in a number of States. Several
Legislatures have had the subject under
consideration this winter, and, we be
lieve, in every instance the test has
resulted in an adverse decision. Neither
party, it is evident, yet considers itself
in need of the votes of the women of
the country.

LUDDEN & BATES*
SOUTHERN MUSIC HOUSE I
OUR NEW YORK RRANCR.
SAVANNAH residents who have for the peat
season missed the presence of Hr. W.
LUDDEN. our Senior Partner, from his accus
tomed place in our ware rooms, may have
thought that he had in part or wholly with
drawn his Interest in the business.
Certain parties who are considerably exer
cised about our business have circulated re
ports to that effect.
For the information of the first named, and
to allay the generous (':> solicitude of the latter
we will state: That Mr. LUDDEN'S connec
tion with our firm has in no wise been changed,
and his absence from Savannah is entirely in
our interest.
The increasing business of our bouse, and
the great difficulty experienced in the past
two years in getting Pianos and Organs from
the factories as fast as we needed them, ren
dered it necessary for us to have a resident
Northern buyer who, being tight on the
ground, could secure for us every advantage
which could be obtained by Northern competi
tors.
We have accordingly located Mr. LUDDEN
permanently in New York city, in charge of
our New York Branch Office, at 33 East 14th
street, where he is engaged in buying, selling
and renting Pianos and Organs, Writing ana
Compiling Music Books, superintending our
Music Publishing Department, and editing
‘The Southern Musical Journal.” He is also
making a specialty of selecting and purchasing
Pianos. Organs, Church Pipe Organs or Musi
cal Instruments of any kind for those who
specially desire the benefit of his professional
experience and judgment.
The New York Branch has proved a most
valuable auxiliary to our business, and enables
us to meet the wants of oar patrons far better
than ever before. We propose to enlarge and
develop it, and eventually to establish in the
great metropolis a Music House which shall
rank with any in the United States.
The general management of our Savannah
House is now. as it has been for years, with our
Mr. J. A. BATES. The Junior Partner, Mr. T.
J. ELMORE, has sole charge of the office and
all financial matters.
With three active partners, whose ability in
their special departments is proved by tbe re
markable success of the House; with a New
York Branch House, and flourishing Branch
Houses in Augusta, Atlanta, Macon, (ia.,
Greenville, S. C., Charlotte, N. C., Selma, Ala.,
Jacksonville and Pensacola, Fla., all under one
management, we believe ourselves now in bet
ter shape to supply the Southern Music trade
than ever before, and can guarantee our
patrons greater inducements than can be else
where extended.
With our sincere thanks to the generous pub
lic which has given us such a magnificent sup
port, we respectfully ask its continuance, and
pledge ourselves to each and every patron,
“FULL MEASURE, PRESSED DOWN AND
RUNNING OYER.”

AND WHY ?
BECAUSE THERE, AND THERE ONLY,
GRAY & O’BRIEN!
PROCLAIM IN PROUD PRE-EMINENCE
THEIR MATCHLESS PRICES!
ba.va.njsta.it,
Queen of Dry Goods. In willing submission, bow a the knee and tenders her custom a willing
tribute to the genius of GRAY ft O'BRIEN. And well she may, for the concession is de
manded, not by feeble announcement of fine goods without price, not by angry
but trembling disclaimers of bombast, but by the matchless
MELODY OF PRICES LIKE THESE:
QA AAA YARDS FRENCH LATTICE LAWNS, another plum from GRAY ft O’BRIEN’S
OUjUUU matchless prices, at 12>4c. Not to be bad anywhere for less than 35c.
750 pieces P. K. STRIPES, one of our tremendous leaders, at 3c., regular price 12>^c.
1.750 pieces FRENCH TOURIST SUITINGS, beautiful in coloring and design. If asked their
value, we might truthfully exclaim, ouly 85c., but we offer them at 13}£c.
TOWELS, NAPKINS AND DOYLIES.
Our buyer on the floor of that great Auction House, FIELD, MORRIS ft FENNER, has just
brought down the hammer on a tremedous drive in TOWELS.
1,000 dozen BLEACHED DIAPER TOWELS, 85x48 inch, at 35c. Cheap in any market at 50c.
435 dozen, a terrific cut, 88x48 inch, DAMASK TOWELS at 85c., worth $6 dozen.
1,000 dozen ALL LINEN TOWELS at 10c.
300 dozen SATIN DAMASK DOYLIES at Bc., worth 15c.
The wavering balance at length kicks the beam, and the scale of GRAY ft O’BRIEN bears
irresistibly dewn, overwhelmingly weighted by our MATCHLESS PRICES.
435 dozen Gents' LINEN HEMMED HANDKERCHIEFS, a choice and most desirable article,
good value for 35c. We astonish our customers and offer them at 13)4c.
325 dozen Ladies’ HEMSTITCHED ALL LINEN, worth 85c., we offer them at 15c.
297 dozen COLORED BORDERED ALL LINEN at 10c. and 12tfc.
185 dozen Ladles’ WHITE LINEN HANDKERCHIEFS, anew invoice, superior even to the
last lot, at Bc.
PARASOLS.
1,700 choicest styles, culled with care from the best manufacturers. No fancy figures, but
GRAY ft O’BRIEN’S own price, 75c. to sl.
A crash, and the last vestige of despairing resistance gives way before the impenetrable
phalanx of our matchless prices.
$9,000 Worth of Hamburg Embroideries.
Purchased at a tremendous sacrifice, from 3c. to $2 50 per yard. Our drive in these goods
has made us “Boss” not of Savannah alone. In this item we “Boss” the world.
3,000 dozen IRISH CROTCHET LACE. Here our buyer, in the terse language of the West,
has struck “ile.” We name a mighty job, the entire stock of an importer gone by the board,
stock sacrificed to the terrible power of READY CASH. We offer the lots at 16c„ 30c. and 25c.
