THURSDAY, MARCH 3. 1881.
TAPPING THE WIBBsi
The House yesterday after a prolonged
debate passed the fanding bill with the
Senate amendments, as also the deficiency
bill. A supplementary funding biii has
also passed the House, which Mr. Carlisle
said would remove every objection to the
original bill. It Is thought Preaident Hayes
will veto the main funding bill.
The Benate did little besides passing the
sundry civil bill.
General Colley’s body was secured and
restored by the Boers. General Roberts le
now en route for the Cape. He will have a
large force at his command. The Boers
declare that they want “liberty with peace.”
Wholesale arrests are threatened in Cork
when the coercion act is promulgated.
Mr. Parnell Is hastening back to London.
A company has been formed to ship grain
in bulk from Bt. Louis to Liverpool, via
New Orleans.
Justin McCarthy, the Home Rule leader
in Mr. Parnell’s absence, writes that the
Irish members of Parliament have only coer
cion to think of and oppose, to the exclu
sion of other topics.
The transactions in the New York stock
market yesterday aggregated 380,000 shares.
The market opened irregularly, and after
many reactions closed with a firmer tone.
Eight persons are reported killed and
twenty wounded by two disasters on the
Hannibal and Bt. Joe Road. Four passenger
cars jumped the track, aud a wrecking train
aent to relieve the train fell through a
bridge.
Dispatches from Newfoundland, Nova
Scotia and New Brunswick state that that
coast has been visited the past two or three
days with the fiercest storm of wind and rain
ever experienced there.
The Btate House at 8t Paul, Minnesota,
was totally consumed on Tuesday night, to
gether with the historical and Supreme
Court libraries, which cannot be re
placed. The fire was discovered
in the dome, while the Assembly was
in session. The members were rescued by
the hook and ladder companies. The loss
will foot up over #IOO,OOO on the building
alone. The records were saved, as well as
#3,000,000 of State bonds which were In
vaults.
Oar Foreign Commerce.
The foreign commerce of the United
States, as exhibited in the statement of
the Bureau of Statistics for January,
shows some fluctuations worthy of no
tice. The excess of exports of merchan
dise for January, 1881, was #28,916,438,
while in January, 1880, it was $11,788,-
685 —a difference of $17,127,753. This
excess, however, for the present year
is made up much more from the de
crease in imports, which amounts to
$10,047,698, than from an increase m
exports. The decrease in imports
of merchandise for the three months
ended with January, 1881, aggregates
$25,6:14,156, as compared with the same
period in 1879-'BO. showing a decided
reaction from the excessive increase of
transactions in foreign merchandise.
Still the increase for the twelve months
has been $161,462,808 over that during
the previous twelve months. This is
still $28,450,408 greater increase in im
ports than exports, and shows that the
tendency towards the equalization of
the two branches of our foreign trade
still continues. The total exports of
merchandise and specie for the twelve
months ended January 31, 1881, were
$912,795,387, while for the twelve
months previous they were $797,725,892,
an increase in exports aggregating
$115,069,595 for the year. The increase
in imports for the year aggregates #147,-
65-5,144, showing a total increase in for
eign trade amounting to $262,724,734,
the aggregate of foreign exports and im
ports for the year being $1,688,935,622.
As the end of Hayes' period of use
fulness to the Republican party ap
proaches very nearly, he is beginning to
understand the average feeling toward
him. It is safe to say that no man ever
left the White House towards whom so
general and deep a feeling of dislike and
contempt was manifested as Mr. Hayes
is now the object of. It is not that in
the early part of his term he antagonized
the stalwarts, nor that he has since done
aught to alieuate his party from him.
The actual cause of this feeling is un
doubtedly the well known fraudulent
character of his Presidential title. He
has been tolerated while he served
the party’s purpose, but when he leaves
the White House, even the semblance
of respect will be dropped and he will
sink into the place of a discarded tool,
the unfragrant character of which moves
the late user to wish to forget that it
ever existed.
“The appropriation,” says the New
York Sun, “of $200,000 to buy a couple
of naval stations on the Central Ameri
can isthmus, passed by the House on
Saturday, would be strange enough un
der any circumstances; but when it does
not appear that any negotiations have
been made with the countries having ju
risdiction over the territory, and that the
only bargain or suggestion of a bargain
has been with the private owner of an
expired and worthless conditional grant,
theaffair becomes extraordinary indeed.”
As for coal stations on the isthmus,
this will be of no use until we have ships
of war to coal. Asa threat to European
governments who may be interested in
the building of the Panama canal this
appropriation of $200,000 will not
amount to much. No doubt, however,
there is a good fat job concealed in the
measure.
Greece is apparently in earnest in her
preparations for war against Turkey.
The Porte alleges that Turkey does not
want war and makes conciliatory sug
gestions, but Greece insists that this is a
policy of sham and deception, which has
for its object only delay. The Turk is
profuse in his promises, but manages to
Avoid any substantial concessions. The
14th of next month, the birthday of the
Greek King, is now settled upon as the
day for the opening of hostilities, and it
will, from all appearances, require some
thing more solid than a promise from
Turkey to postpone the little difficulty.
Cable telegrams announce that Eng
land will adhere to the European concert
on the Turco-Grecian question. If
Greece will not accept the results of the
conference to be held at Constantinople,
the powers are to coerce her. Instead
erf getting the provinces of Epirus and
Thessaly, as agreed by the Berlin con
ference, Greece is likely to have her
northern provinces invaded. The course
of the powers in this matter has been
tortuous, and the conduct of England
perfidious.
The Navy Department has received
information that it is the intention of
President Barrios, of Guatemala, Central
America, to visit the United States this
spring. He will reach San Francisco
about April, where he will remain some
rime, and then pioceed eastward.
A Sugar Bonanza.
The cultivation of sorghum cane is
attracting a great deal of attention in the
Northwest. The experiments with this
cane during the last year have been very
satisfactory. A few days ago the agri
cultural bill came up in the lower House
of Congress for consideration. It pro
vides for an appropriation of $25,000 for
the purchase of improved machinery
with which to continue the experiments
of manufacturing sugar from sorghum.
This is SIB,OOO more than was appropri
ated to the same object last yeai In
connection with this feature of the oill
Mr. Gillette, who appears to be familiar
with the results obtained in the experi
ments with sorghum cane and cornstalks,
made some interesting statements. He
exhibited samples of sugar produced
from sorghum cane and ffbrnst&lks, and
said that the “cost of producing pure
light sugar from sorghum is only three
cents per pound, while the duty on the
same quality of sugar if imported is 3.44
cents per pound; in other words, the
Northwest can produce pure sugar for
less than the duties upon it today.
One thirty-fourth part of lowa
can produce as much sugar
per annum as we now import; in other
words. 1,039,182 acres out of 85,228,800
acres of alluvial lands in the State of
lowa can produce an amount of sugar
equal to the importation into this coun
try of that article at a cost less than the
duties now paid upon sugar. The im
ports of sugar, syrups, etc., during the
last fiscal year amounted to 1,727,121,-
816 pounds, and cost, including duties,
$131,000,000. The experiments at the
Agricultural Department show an
average product per acre in sorghum
sugar of 1,662 pounds, beside syrup, 800
pounds. ”
With reference to cornstalks, Mr. Gil
lette said that the experiments were not
so satisfactory “because preparation was
not made until too late, but 900 pounds
of sugar, or at that rate per acre, have
been obtained from cornstalks after the
corn was gathered.”
Commenting on Mr. Gillette’s state
ments, the New Orleans Timet says: “If
the lowa farmers can produce as much
sorghum sugar to the acre as Mr. Gillette
seems to think they can, or if they can
get an amount of sugar out of their corn
stalks after the corn is gathered that is
worth twice as much as their com crop,
they have a bonanza in their farms to
which they had better turn their atten
tion at once. We suspect, however, that
Mr. Gillette is too enthusiastic to be
entirely reliable, and that the corn
stalks ‘after the com is gathered,’ cannot
be so very much more juicy than dry
clover in a hay loft.”
It would seem that if such esults as
are claimed by Mr. Gillette are to be re
lied on—if good sugar can be made from
sorghum and cornstalks at three cents
per pound, less than the present duty on
foreign sugar—there would be no need
of government aid for the promotion of
the culture of sorghum and cornstalk
sugar in lowa.
The Philadelphia Press prints a cor
respondence between Gen. John A. Lo
gan and T. 8. Arthur, the well known
author of temperance stories, in which
the former complains of the unfavor
able mention of his own and his wife’s
came in a work written by Arthur,
entitled “Danger.” “Mrs. Logan, the
brilliant wife of a brilliant Senator,” is
represented in the book as sipping wine at
a dinner and praising its flavor, and
at the same time smiling graciously
at a young man named Ridley, who
is in the act of quaffing a goblet of the
“rosy,” which eventually sends him to a
station house, and indirectly causes his
wife s death. Gen. Logan is indignant
at the unwarrantable false position in
which Mrs. Logan is placed by the state
ment, and declares she never in her
whole life drank a glass of wine or any
other intoxicating beverage, in Wash
ington or elsewhere, and that her total
abstinence principles are known by every
one.
Mr. Arthur says he wrote “Danger” over
six years ago, and must have been singu
larly off guard and unfortunate, and
thought he was using a fictitious name
that could not suggest any living person
to the reader. He has ordered the name
removed from the stereotype plates and
offers to do anything else G en - Logan
will suggest to repair the wrong, and
will make the proper correction in the
next number of bis magazine.
Logan ought to have known that the
author had no reference to Mrs. John
A. Logan, of Illinois, when he spoke of
the lady as “the brilliant wife of a bril
liant Senator.”
The Mississippi valley States and parts
of States washed by the Mississippi river
and tributaries, have 148 Congressmen
and 180 electoral votes; 24,683,822 popu
lation; raise $875,315,586 of agricultu
ral products. In other words, these
States and parts of States represent 50
per cent of the Congressional strength,
48 per cent of the electoral vote, 50 per
cent, of the population of the United
States; raise 58 per cent, of all the agri
cultural products of the country, have
64 per cent, of all the acres in cultiva
tion; raise 64 per cent, of the cotton
crop, 83 per cent, of the corn; 67 per
cent, of the wheat and 73 per cent, of
the hogs, A pretty good basis for po
litical alliances.
New Use for Cotton Seed Hulls.—
Acting upon the suggestion of Mr. W.
D. Chipley, Superintendent of the Pen
sacola division of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad, several roads have
been experimenting with cotton seed
hulls as a substitute for cotton waste in
packing the journal boxes of cars and
locomotives. A “Railroadman,” writing
to the New York Cotton, says; "I learn
that on the Chicago, St. Louis and New
Orleans Road engines have already run
from 22,000 to 24,000 miles with boxes
packed with cotton seed hulls, and that
one coach, some time ago, made 40,000
miles with this packing, and that the
packing was still good,”
Revision of the Bible.— At a meet
ing of the Washington City Bible Socie
ty on Monday night it was stated that a
hitch has occur* ed jn England in rela
tion to publishing the new rei/isjo? of
the Bible, which will delay its publica
tion for & considerable time. It appears
that there is an old law there which pre
vents the publication of any revision un
less it has the approval of the Bcciesi.
astical Court (Commission, which the ,
committee of revision did not know of {
until they were ready to go to press.
They will, therefore, have to submit
their work for approval, which is ne
cessarily of slow process.
By a vole pf fourteen to six the Grant
Club, Boys in Blue, decided not to take
part with the “ disloyal “ in the inau
gural parade. It is understood that the
inauguration will go on nevertheless.
Even if the entire body of Grant’s
Boohys in Blue should be aWni from
the pageant, it is thought there will be
enough left to make quite an imposing
show.

Mr. Henry Bergh as a Dramatist.
Mr. Bergh, so well known in New
York and to newspaper readers generally
as the President in that city of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, has written a play, which was
produced at the Union League Theatre
on Thursday evening by the pupils of
Mr. Frobisher's “College of Oratory and
Acting." The critics are making fun of
the play and the actors in it. Strange
to say, as coming from so serious and
solemn a person as Mr. Bergh is repre
sented to be, his play bears the
title of “Love’s Alternative,” and
the mildest description given of it is
that “it is an excellent play to yawn
over,” and that “it becomes somewhat
nauseating towards the close.” We are
further told that the play “presents a
number of scenes full of black obscurity
and sepulchral mystery, through which
the elongated form of an uncommonly
desperate villain and several other per
sons of equal probability come and go
at intervals.” The players also come in
for their share of criticism, but their de
merits are summed up in a few words.
All that is said of them, but it is enough,
is that “they exhibited their lack of
talent with conspicuous skill.”
A good story, which may or may not
have about it the flavor of age, is wafted
into the editorial room of the Boston
Post from the sunny shores of France
A young American, whose knowledge
of the French language was confined to
his careful study of a conversation book,
was being shown through one of the old
churches of Paris, the objects of inter
est which it contained being pointed out
by an attache of the buildings. A rich
ly decorated altar attracted the at
tention of the American, and, point
ing to the white marble figure of a
dove or pigeon which adorned the arch
way over the altar, he inquired in
alleged French what one ought to call it
in French. That, said the attendant,
“est le taint esprit” [the Holy Ghost].
Immediately the American drew from
his pocket a note book and pencil, and,
as was his custom, noted down his new
ly acquired knowledge, in this manner:
“PigeoD, in French, called saint esprit.”
Now, our American youth had an
object in asking the French word
for pigeon. He wanted a pigeon for his
supper, and now that he knew what to
call it in French wbatwas to hinder him
from having one? That night at the
restaurant he beckoned to a waiter and
said: “ Oarcon, donnez moi, s’il vous
plait, deox saint esprit roti, avec pomme
de terre Lyonnaise. ” The waiter looked
at the American at first in astonishment
and then hurst into hearty laughter.
“Two Holy Ghosts with Lyonnaise po
tatoes” was a dish that even the famous
Cafe Anglais had never placed upon its
menu.
What the Sail Vessel has to Contend
With.
Twenty years ago the Cunard steam
ship Persia, then the finest vessel afloat,
used to consume 6 7 JO pounds of coal
per hour per horse power. So great was
the space required fpr the coal that,
though the vessel was of 2,000 tons bur
den, she could only find room for 350
tons of paying cargo. Contrast this
with the performances of anew steamer
of the present day. The Arizona is about
double the size of the Persia, but she
consumes only If pounds of coal per
hour per horse power. The consequence
is that she can eirry 3,400 tons of pay!
ing freight, and can steam 16J knots
against the Persia’s 13, thus burning but
one fifth of a ton of coal for each ton of
goods carried across the Atlantic, in
stead of the 6i tons burned by the Per
sia. The present expenditure in coal in
carrying a ton of goods across is there
fore Jess than 1 3fl of what it was twenty
years ago, and ppprovemept is still go
ing on. It is uo wonder lhst mailing
vessels find it harder and harder to make
a decent living.
Why Grant Won’t Attend Gar
field’s Inauguration. —The New York
Herald reports an interview with Gen
Grant. Says the interviewer: “An allu
sion was made to the coming inaugura
tion and the General’s prospective visit
to Washington to attend the inaugural
pageant. ‘I am not going to Washing
ton,’ said the General. ‘I had a very
cordial letter from President Hayes ask
ing me to dine at the White House on
March 2d with the Cabinet to meet Gen
eral ani Mrs. Garfield. I should be
flad lo unite in any courtesy to our new
‘rej/dent but l sent a regret. A visit
to Washington a[ this tiqae would be
very trying. Such a cioyd -sijch a
multitude of friends! I would not have
a moment to myself, I shrink from the
ordeal.’
“Do you intend visiting Washington ?
“ ‘I may go after the inauguration,
especially if I do not go to Mexico.’ ”
Alluding to the grand inaugural pa
geant to come off in Washington to
morrow the Post says: “It is well that
the city should clothe itself in bunting
as with ,a garment, and praise with
pyeans the accession of a ruler who steps
to the c&H fropjt of the capital with
neither force nor fraud as his body
guard.”

Commissioner Fink Replies to Judge
Black.
The New York World of Friday
publishes a communication from Com
missioner Albert Fink in reply to the
speech made by Judge Black at the anti
monopoly meeting held at New York on
Monday last Mr. Fink complains of
what he calls gross misrepresentation to
which railroad companies are subjected,
and protests against Judge Black’s as
sumption that the silence of railroad
managers in respect to the charges
brought against them should be rightly
construed as admissions of their guilt
He goes on to remark that if these unjnst
attacks are persisted in, unity of action
on the part of the railroad companies
may become necessary as a measure of
self-defense. Judge Black computes that
a late advance made by the railroad
companies, from 20 to 35 cents per hun
dred pounds on grain from Chicago to
New York, robs the people annually of
$75,000,000. He further computes that,
including other freight besides grain, the
robbery amounts to $225,000,000, and he
further estimates that present charges
are extortionate to the extent of 15 cents
per one hundred pounds, so that the
total amount “extorted from the pockets
of the people in one year is $675,000,000,
enough,” says Judge Black, “to pay half
the national debt, and this is only on
through freights. ”
Says Mr. Fink in reply: “Unfortu
nately for Judge Black, when we con
sider the carefully compiled statistics
which are published by Mr. Henry V.
Poor, of New York, in his Riilroad
Manual, which work is generally in the
hands of all men who pretend to watch
the progress and condition of railroads
and keep themselves informed upon this
subject, we find there is a strange dis
crepancy between the facts as repre
sented by Judge Black and the facts as
they appear in Poor's Manual. In that
work for 1880 we find that the total gross
freight earnings of 84,233 miles of rail
roads' in the United States in the year
1879 were only $386,6T6,108. This
is the total amount of money
Said by the people of the United
tates to the railroads for all sorts
of freight transportation, including all
local and all through freight, during the
year 1879, of which Judge Black com
putes the railroad companies have un
justly extorted $675,000,000 from the
suffering people. Out of these gross
earnings the railroad companies have ac
tually paid, as also appears from the
same book, about 60 percent., or say
$232,000,000, for operating expenses, to
their employes, to manufacturers, etc.,
which leaves them only $154,000,000
available for the payment of interest on
an investment of $4,762,000,000. The
total net earnings of all the railroads of
the United States, including the passen
ger traffic, were $219,916,724, or 4 8 10
per cent, on the capital invested.
Mr. Fink next turns his attention to
the claims set up by the New York
Board of Trade and Transportation in
their resolutions and through their
spokesman, Mr. Thurber. On this head
he says: “They claim that New York
should not pay more for transportation to
or from Cincinnati than Baltimore pays,
which latter city is nearer Cincinnati by
268 miles. How do the citizens of Balti
more like such a proposition? They say
it would exclude that city practi
cally from participation in the trade of
the country. The railroad companies by
lons T experience have agreed upon certain
differences in the rates from both cities,
under which it is demonstrated that the
trade of both cities prospers, and that the
advance aDd increase cf business in both
keep pace in about the same ratio. The
railroad companies believe that they do
justice to both communities. Yet New
York is not satisfied, and Baltimore is
not satisfied. The great mistake that is
made by the railroad abuseis is that they
take up an individual case without ex
amination and then assume it to be a
just and true complaint, and then fur
ther assume that the complaint applies
to every individual in the country.”
The Fatal Orphan Asylum Fire.
A dispatch from Scranton, Pa., gave
a brief account of the burning of St.
Patrick’s Orphan Asylum on Sunday
night last in that city, in which seven
teen children perished. Later details
are as follows:
The is situated at the corner
of Jackson street and Lincoln avenue,
about a mile from the centre of the city.
It is occupied by a number of Sisters of
Charity, and under their charge were
forty children, whose ages ranged from
six to twelve years. The boys and girls
occupied separate dormitories on the
third floor. At half past eight o’clock
in the evening one of the Sisters escort
ed the children to their rooms and locked
the doors for the night. She then started
to descend the stairs. When she reached
the second story she discovered smoke
issuing from one of the rooms. Opening
the door she was driven back by a cloud
of smoke. Fire was raging along the
ceiling and making its way to the upper

The Sister darted up stairs'and found
the girls’ room full of smoke. She took
the girls to the lower floor and started
back to reach the boys’ dormitory. The
smoke was pouring into the hallway in
blinding clouds, and when about half
way up the stairs the Sister met a stran
ger. She made an effort to pass him,
but he refused to allow her to proceed,
saying that the boys had been rescued
aud it would be dangerous for her to go
for them. She reluctantly went back.
An alarm given soon after the fire
broke out brought four fire companies..
The flames were raging fiercely when
the firemen got to work. They were
informed of the belief among the Sisters
that soiu.e of tfie cjiildyen were still in

the flames were beaten back.

Captain Clason of the sloop Tommy,
plying between Cl*r Lake and this city,
gives the Hews an account of au act of
heroism by a young girl that is emi
nently worthy of record. He says that
during the last norther a small sloop, in
which there were two men, was capsized
off Edwards’ Point. Both succeeded in
getting upon the bottom of the boat, and
in this perilous position were buffeted by
wind and sea and exposed to the cold
for about twenty four hours. One of the
men, utterly exhausted, was ready to
succumb, but his companion bound him
to the boat with a rope, and thus pre
vented his destruction. Finally, they
were carried by the waves to within
about a mile of the shore, when they
were seen through a spyglass by Miss
Evans, a sixteen-year old daughter of a
gentleman residing at the Lawrence
place on the bay shore, between Ed
wards’ Point and the mouth of Clear
creek. The brave girl, realizing their
imminent peril, and knowing that there
was no one on the place to go to their
rescue, herself launched a frail skiff and
set out to aid them. With such a sea as
was running, this would have been a
hazardous undertaking for a strong man,
but the little heroine was not daunted by
danger. PulliDg through the billows un
til exhausted, she would drop her anchor,
rest; and, hoisting her weights, would
start anew. In this manner she slowjy
worked her way to the men, whom she
relieved from their dangerous situation,
and safely conveyed them to land, attend
ing to their wants, and gently caring for
them at her father’s house.

GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.
Is tbe Centre of maonfactorlng
Changing— Seorfla and be advan
tage* Offered to Industrial Enter*
prise.
American Railway Journal.
We have been so accustomed to think
of New England as the centre of our
great manufacturing industries, and the
natural place to which manufacturers of
textile fabrics should look for encour
agement and stimulus for the employ
ment of their capital and skill, that it is
not customary to think of other localities
as holding out inducements tending to
draw from the supremacy in manu
facturing, held for so many years,
almost undisputed, by Massachusetts
and her neighboring States. But
such inducements are beiDg held out,
and enterprising projectors of railroads,
as well as far-seeing manufacturers and
producers, are justified in studying the
question and basing action upon the in
dicalions which support the belief that
within the next ten years a great change
in the centre of manufacturing is likely
to be witnessed. The tendency of this
movement in certain important depart
ments of manufacturing is undoubtedly
Southward.
New England for the past few years
has held its manufacturing supremacy
not so much from natural facilities of
water power, climate, fuel, transporta
tion, etc., as from the character of its
population. In the thriving New England
manufacturing towns are a class of ope
ratives who are ranked among the oldest
residents and in many cases form one of
the most substantial and permanent ele
ments of the business prosperity of the
community. In frequent cases they are
liviDg in homes which their ancestors
established before them, and where
they have accumulated properties that
are now to be found, in some in
stances, invested in the enterprises
where their labor is employed. In this
way strong communities of the best kind
of operatives arc permanently establish
ed. To lead them to abandon these lo
calities for others, strong inducements
indeed must be offered, and it will be
found, as a rule, that those operatives
willing to change their work and places
of abode for new fields aDd new enter
prises are of the floating, adventuresome
element; by no means the best for em
ployment in starting manufactories in
new localities. This is probably the
strongest force that has held so lone the
centre of manufacturing in New Eng
land.
Other influences are at work now
which threaten to overbalance this power.
Looked at from a broad and unprejudic
ed standpoint, it must seem not a little
strange that this power of association of
skilled labor and its congregation in cer
tain localities should have so long been
able to limit the work of the loom and
the shuttle to certain sections. Cotton is
transported from the far South to New
York, and, after passing through the
market, is reshipped, in most cases, to
localities from 150 to 300 miles north,
there to be worked up by machinery,
the motive power of which is furnished
largely from fuel brought by water and
rail hundreds of miles from the coal
fields of Pennsylvania. Then the cotton,
in the form of manufactured fabrics, is
brought again to this market, and from
here distributed widespread throughout
the country, much of it, however, return
ing to the Southern States, from which
it first started.
One of the chief inducements in the
earlier days of cotton factories in New
England for their location there was, of
course, found in the water privileges
afforded. But the growth of manufac
turing has been so rapid that to day in but
few towns of that section can the water
power be estimated as furnishing more
than a minor part of the power required.
Very rarely can a factory be found which
relies wholly upon water, while in the
majority of cases the chief reliance is of
necessity in the use of large quantities of
coal. It is an apparent fact also that the
flow of mountain streams of that as of
other sections where the demands of in
creasing population and traffic in lumber
are rapidly cutting away the forests, has
been for the past lew years considerably
decreased.
It is a question worthy the study and
consideration of projectors and others,
whether the natural tendency of these in
fluences will be to draw manufacturing
from the North toward the South, with
its cotton fields and neighboring coal
mines. Much attention has been turned
to Georgia, as promising to be a future
manufacturing locality of importance.
The State presents a remarkable variety
of surface, as well as resource.
From the low and swampy lands
of the Atlantic coast and Florida
line, extending inland perhaps 20
miles, the elevation increases toward
the north, until at a distance of 150
miles from the sea an elevation of about
600 feet is reached. Northward from
the central portion of the State the sur
face grows more and more rapidly, until
a hilly and mountainous region is
reached, where elevations of from 1,500
to 4,000 feet are found, much resembling
the Blue Mountain sections of New Eng
land.
Georgia furnishes some of the finest
water privileges to be found in the
country. A few of them, of course, have
been utilized for many years for a varie
ty of manufacturing purposes, chiefly by
flouring and cotton mills, to the extent
that it would seem natural they should
have been through their favorable loca
tion. The $3,000,000 which was found
to be in use in the manufacture of cotton
goods in 25 mills in Georgia, by the census
of 1870, has grown into a much larger
sum of late years, as the present census
will show, but there are single New
England villages which exhibit the use
of more capital in that department of
manufacture, than that entire State with
its splendid natural facilities. Ranking
among the first cotton producing States,
rich in its variety of soil and products,
and so fortunate in being able to present
attractions to such a diversified number
of industrial enterprises, it will not be
surprising to see a rapid increase of
manufacturing at an early day in Geor
gia; a prospect which seems plainly to
stimulate, and with good reason, the
projectors and managers of the railroads
aiding in the development of the mag
nificent resources of this State.
Gen. Butler’s Dog.
Washington Republican.
Some five or six years ago Butler had
a very fine Siberian bloodhound that he
prized very highly, and which had been
§iven to him by a Boston friend. One
ay the dog was missing, and Mr. But
ler was very aDgry. He advertised ex
tensively for Tiger, but for many days
he could hear nothing from his favorite.
At length the dog was brought home by
a pale young man, and Mr. Butler wil
liogly paid him $5 as a reward. Soon
afterward Tiger was again missing, and
the same agony was suffered by Mr.
Butler. Again the same young man re
turned the dog, and Mr. Butler again
shelled out aY. But this time he tied
up the dog and ordered his man to keep
an extra watch on his kennel. In three
weeks that dog was again missiDg.and no
search that could be made turned him up.
Mr. Butler had the young man who had
twice found him hunted up by the po
lice and accused him of having stolen
Tiger. The charge could not be proven,
however, and then detectives were put
to work on the case. They soon reported
that the dog had left the city. Mr. But
ler, visiting the Treasury Department,
had a talk with Mr. Whitley, who put
several members of the secret service on
the track of that dog. they got a
clue of Tiger away up somewhere in
New York State. Then they heard front
him in* Portland, Me., and again in In
dianapolis, Ind. They visited many
cities, and the public thought they were
looking for counterfeiters and bogus
plates. They were, in reality, after Ben
Butler’s dog. But after a search of
nearly a year they gave up the chase,
and Tiger has never to this day been
heard from.

OUB WASHINGTON LETTER.
The Incomloe Administration
Speculations About President Gar
field's Cabins* Troubles and
Blnnders ot tbs Inaugural Com
mittee—The Hirer and Harbor
Bill—Tbs Inaugural Pageant
flentor Has Mowed to Washington.
Washington, February 28 —The near ap
proach of the day upon which Gen. Garfield
will be formally declared Presides! of the
United States heightens the interest felt In the
question as to who will be in his Cabinet.
When we look at this question aside from poli
tics there is but little interast In the composi
tion of the Cabinet with the exception of who
shall control the Treasury Department. The
heads of the other departments, are a3 a rule,
figures only. If they are honest men that is all
the interest that the people at large have in
them. With the Secretary of the Treasury it is
of course different. He wields an immense
power that is constantly being exercised. He
handles directly more matters that effect the
business of the country than even the Presi
dent himself. But looking at the question as
regards politics there is deep interest connected
with every man in the Cabinet. The men whom
an incoming President selects from his confi
dential advisers forms the basis upon which a
general guess at the policy of the rew adminis
tration can be placed. Before I started out in
this somewhat prosy disquisition 1 referred to
the fa t that great interest in the coming Cabi
net was being manifested. That interest among
the Republican leaders is almost painful.
AmoDg the smaller fry there is a feeling of ap
prehension, consequently every name, every
story, no matter how absurd, about the com
position of Garfield's board of advisers, is ea
gerly taken up and as eagerly discussed. There
is nothing but Cabinet talk among the politi
cians as they congregate in the hotel lobbies of
evenings, and the talk is kept up inside the
green doors, through which they ever and anon
pass in order to recuperate. While there is
much talk, but little is known generally, and
what is known positively is far less in bulk.
There never has been a subject so much writ
ten about, with so little kHowledge, for the
reason of the writing. There are, however,
some thiugs about the Cabinet which have been
ascertained from well informed men. in part;
the other part is based on observations of
what is going on in the under current.
Thus it can be stated that Garfield’s Cabinet
will be an inoffensive one to the Republican
partv What is meant, i that no material
faction of that, party will be disgruntled. Thus
Mr. Garfield will start out with his party at
his support, which will be decidedly different
from the way Mr Hayes launched his craft
named “administration.” And, again, the
shrewdne.-s of Mr. Garfield when the Cabinet
is announced will be apparent to every politi
cal observer. Unlike nis predecessor, he will
euter his office unpledged against a second
term. Ambition would naturally dictate to
him that he should strive for a second nomina
tion at the hands of bis party. He is am
bitious, and will obey its dictates. A college
mate of his. with whom I happen to be on
terms of intimacy, tells me that Garfield in
formed him in as many words that he intended
his administration to be such as to secure, if
possible, a second nomination. His Cabinet
will be selected with that idea as the
keelson of its building. No par
ticular faction or new “policy”—which, by
the way, is a word so much abused as to be
come almost meaningless -will predominate
either in the Cabinet or in thß course that he
will pursue. The Cameron, nor the Conkling,
Grant, nor the anti-machine, nor any other
clique of the party will find itself elevated
above the others. Such a course as this is one
of the most difficult of all to pursue success
fully in politics, especially in American poli
tics; but Mr. Garfield has set himself te the
task and will bring to it every energy that he
possesses. He is a man that is bo'd. and at the
same time tempers his boldness with brains,
keeping bis eye on the lookout tho while for
what the New Englander terms the mala
chance Such is a foreshadowing of what he is
going to try to do. Whether he will succeed
time alone will show. I suppose, like every
body e’-se who is writing on this subject, I
chouid hear a few individual particu
lars about the personnel of the next
Cabinet. I could write you two columns about
Torn, Dick and Harry, who eagerly note who
ever goes to Mentor and who aa eagerly hope
to be in the Cabine'. There are some hundred
or m re men whose names have been men
tioned for the seven portfolios in the Cabinet,
and there is no law, human or divine, which
prevents the naming ot as many more by those
who indulge in Cabinet speculations. The
chances are that the Cabinet which Garfield
will select will be a surprise; but they will be
chosen on the policy outlined above. I venture
into the field of p ediction, however. Take it
for an assured fact that B aine will be Secreta
ry of State. This is by no means anew pre
diction, but there seems to be no certainty in
the general mind about it. But there ought to
be that certainty. One day last week Blaine
went up to the State Department and had a
three hours’ conference with Mr Evarts, who
now presides there. Mr Evarts went over the
whole jurisdiction of the office with Mr. Blaine;
explained our relations with foreign govern
ments; informed him what negotiations were
pending, and, in short, gave him ail the in
formation there was about the office,
its duties and management. After this long
conference, Mr. Evarts was asked who he
thought would be his successor. He replied
quickly, “Senator Blaine, without doubt.”
Evarts certainly knows. The Attorney Gen
eral, while he may not have as good informa
tion as to who will step into his shoes, is some
what likely to know something about it, He
says that in his opinion Robert Lincoln, the son
of the President of that name, will be the next
Attorney General. About the Treasury Depart
ment good information is somewhat of a nega
tive character. According to it, Levi P.
Morton, the New York banker, will not be the
Secretary. The portfolio is thus left with Sena
tor Allison and Judge Folger as the most likely
for the place. As between the two the former
stands the better chance. There will be an in
terim before the appointment of the head of
th • Treasury it is thought, and John Sherman
hold over tid he enters the Senate in Decem
ber next. The present Governor of Ohio,
Mr. Foster will be in the Cabinet. He
will be Poitmaster General. This
is about all that is the least bit tangible that
can be gotten hold ef now about Mr. Garfield’s
Cabinet. You will note that no mention is
made of the probnble heads of the Navy, War
and Interior Departments There is, of course,
no Uck of men mentioned for them; but out of
the whole mass of mentioning there has not
evolved anything that is not like Emma Ab
bott’s stage kiss—“delusive and unsatisfac
tory.”
TROUBLES AND BLUNDERS OF THE INAUGURAL
COMMITTEE.
The inaugural ball and the procession has
already stirred up many little dissatisfactions.
The “ex-Union” -don’t leave out the quotation
marks, please—blatherskites have had their
ineffectual howl about “rebels” and other dire
monsters in the procession; the office-seeking
organizations have made Rome howl because
they have not all been put at the head of the
line; and the immaculate Republican friend and
brother, the negro, has not yet overcome the
shock to his delicately organized system by
the announcement that the presumptious dar
kev has purchased largely of tickets to the
b-11. And now there are symptoms of more
trouble. This time there is decency in the
difference of opinion. The committee direct
ing the great ball decided to send tickets to
none but the President and his family, and the
coming President and his family. Everybody
else must pay for their admission to the great
est thow on earth in the way of a ball. This is
certainly right, think ail good-minded citi
zens Many who would not have gone to the
ball otherwise, purchased tickets merely for
the purpose of being at some entertainment of
the kind in the capitol where there would be no
dead heading. They know that the old gang of
deadheads will be absent, and that alone will
compensate for the necessary outlay. It -will
be a good thing to hand down to the children
that once In life you attended a public enter
tainment in Washington and saw not that gang.
But in making this wholesome regula
tion against dead-headism the com
mittee perhaps went too far. They should
have sent tickets to the representatives of for
eign governments at the capltaL The ball is a
national not a local affair, and it certainly
looks pretty shabby and discourteous not to
invite the foreign ministers. The price of a
ticket is nothing to them, but courtesy is such
iu diplomacy that they will not attend and re
gard it as an intended slight to their govern
ments that they are not asked to be present
upon such a national occasion. These gentle
men did not say anything about the non-arriv
al of invitations. They would not lower them
selves in that way. It was noticed that none
of the diplomats had bought tickets .and the
Chairman of the committee waited on Secre
tary Evarts to find out about it. The Secretary
did not know ,but instituted inquiry. The re
sult was as above stated. The commit
tee has been torn up in mind that
the foreigners should look at the matter in
this light. They never thought, etc. It is
probable they will send invitations to the
offended digiutaries.througb Secretary Evarts,
and get him fo explain matters. Such is the
delicacy of the situation, however, that it is
stated in “diplomatic circles” that a satisfac
tory explanation is almost impossible. If Mr.
Evarts can successfully adjust this interna
tional difficulty it will be about the only
triumph in diplomacy he has achieved in his
four years’ incumbency of office, let us hope
that he wili succ, ed. It would be too perfectly
dreadful for Mr. Garfield to start out with a
dozen or more foreign wars on his hands, just
because a committee, ignorant of the courtesy
of nations, went wrong in fixing up the Inau
gural ball!
THE RIVER AND BARBOR BILL.
The Senate has passed the river and harbor
bill. There were but very few changes in the
bill as it was reported by the Commerce Com
mittee of that body. The additional items put
in by the committee of interest to Georgia and
Florida, which were given In thia correspon
dence several days ago, were left intact by the
Senate. The bill now goes back to tbe House.
There will not be much objection there to the
Senate amendments. There is not ti me enough
for that, even if tbe House was so disposed.
Georgia and Florida will therefore get the
benefit of the more liberal spirit shown by the
Senate in dealing with important improve
ments.
T$K INAUfIUBAL PAGEANT.
The citv is filled with strangers. The hotels
are crowded, and already the festive boarding
house keeper begins to reap harvests of ducats.
Every train comes crowded with visitors to
Washington. Ail this, and the great eventful
day—March 4th—still three times twenty-four
hours away. The main body of those who aye
tp come has not reached Washington, even with
its advance column. From all quarters come
reports that big crowds will bear down on us.
The inadguration, in point of attendance,
therefore, proml. es to be a howling success.
T he wide street* of the city will be taxed along
the line of march of the pageant. The ques
tion of how to house and feed the multitude
may yet be a very serious one. although it has
been thought that there would not be more on
hand than could be comfortably handled. The
procession will be the great thing
for the people 1 generally. It is not often
in the peaceful history of this country t Uat
20,000 men are spen In line of ttforoU. Qomfbg
from evary point of the compass, all kinds of
uniform's wffi be present. The sight will be
one worth traveling to see, as the long military
snake drags its length along our spacious ave
nue and streets. It will be a pageant not coon
forgotten by those who look at It. Next to
the procession tbe big ball will be tbe thing.
It has been decided to limit the tickets to be
sold to eight thousand, so that not more than
that number will be present. The ladies have
discussed the question of dressing for this
and the general decision is that they
can wear anything they want to. There will
be many present in street dresses, but most of
them will be in full evening costume. The
spectacle will be a grand one. All the dignita
ries of the nation will be there. The leaders
in society will stiine forth. The gaudy uni
forms of the military and naval services will
add to the splendor of the scene. And then
such a grandbail room the new Museum build
ing will make! Its vast acreage only divided
into continuous halls, by gothic archways and
pillars, will afford plenty of room to the eight
thousand. The roof is dome-shaped. Every
thing frill be decorated with taste with a gen
erous outlay of money. The music will float
down from two balconies. The dancing
music will be furnished by a band
of one hundred pieces. The promenade mu
sic will be given by a band of thirty pieces.
Such is ths capacity of the building that the
music ot neither band will interfere with the
other. Another attractive feature of the dis
play ef Friday next will be the fireworks
These will be on an elaborate and costly scale.
They will far outdo anything of the kind ever
seen in Washington. They will be burnt from
a portion of the city that makes It an easy
thing for people to get good points to view
them from. All <f this has stirred the
sluggish blood of the residents. I think the
people who live here are the most unexcitable
of any on the face of the earth. But they now
seem to be waking into life. They are profuse
ly decorating their bouses and places of busi
ness. They seem almost to realize that Fri
day, if a fair day, will be marked with the
reddest letters of any in the calendar. It is
hard to recognize staid old Pennsylvania ave

tors have been erected. Balconies have been
thrown out from streets and dwellings for the
same purpose, and (lags, ensigns and gonfa
lons stir in the breeze or droop in the rain, as
they have been doing to day. The ceremonies
of swearing in the next President at the Capi
tol and his inaugural address will attract but
little attention from the crowd. They ard
tame compared with the glitter and goodly
sights that can be had elsewhere just for the
looking.
MENTOR HAS MOVED TO WASHINGTON.
Garfield arrived in Washington to-day. He
was accompanied by his family, the Cleveland
Troop, and quite a crowd of Ohio people fol
lowed on an escort car. He has been undergo
irg a siege to-day. The people who have been
making life onerous to bim by haunting his
home at Mentor! are also here. Many of them
came before. Others followed on his heels.
His hotel, the Riggs House, has been overrun
by people anxious for audience with him. He
is already fairly inducted into the principal
duty of a President of the United States—that
of bearing people who want something done
for them or their friends. Mentor has been
moved to Washington, but in the transporta
tion has increased a thousand fold in the num
ber of pilgrims who come to see Garfield. It
is undoubtedly a big thing to be President of
the United Btatee, but there don’t seem to be
