McCif Nominated A Dull Day Id the House The Senate and the Tax Bill—The star Routers—ln gersoll and Fellows at Oats—Nomi nations and Confirmations. Washington, August 3.— The President to-day withdrew the nomination of James A’kins.tobe United States District Judge for the Northern District of Georgia, and nominated in his stead Judge Henry K. Mc- Cay. The chargee againet Atkins and the efforts of Senators Brown and Cameron brought about this result. Senator Brown says that there la no doubt about the confir mation of McCay before adjournment. HOUSK PROCEEDINGS. In the House, Mr. Hiecock, of New Xork, Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, reported back the Anderson adjournment resolution, with an amendment, providing for a final adjournment at noon of Saturday next. This led to an animated and Interesting dis cussion, which frequently gave rise to much merriment, and which claimed the attention of members, who crowded around the prin cipal disputants, and encouraged them with applause. The resolution, as amended, was adopted without a division. A number of bills of minor importance were passed, but none of national interest were touched. Throughout the afternoon there were many indications that the end of the session was approaching. The committees, when called, presented no measures of impor tance, and there was no disposition indi cated to proceed with any of the business on the calendar or on the Speaker’s table. The space in front of the Speaker’s desk was occupied by members moving favorite measures and endeavoring to cktch the eye of the Speaker. Many were unsuccessful, but the more fortunate ones were little better off, for an objection was raised to a'most every proposition. After a couple of hours had been con sumed in efforts to pass the measure by unanimous consent the House, at 3:15, ad journed. SENATE PROCEEDINGS. The Senate, soon after 2 o’c’ock, voted to take up the tax reduction bill, but Mr. Mor rill, In charge of the measure, yielded the fl o .r for action on the bill to prevent pleuro pneumonia in cattle. This bill was finally postponed without action, and the conferees on the leg'slstive, executive and judicial appropriation bill reported an agreement. The report was adopted. The tax reduction bill finally was pro ceeded with, and Mr. Morrill submitted a proposition to the Democratic side, that the bill be passed ls it came from the House with the Benate amendments extending the time at which the reductions shall take effect, anil the amendments reducing the tax on snuff and tobacco from six een cents to twelve cents per pound, and allowing a rebate. The time which remained of the -esston would not permit a deliberate consideration of the numerous amendments which had been and were yet to be offered by the opposite side, and which they had declared their in’entlon to discuss without limit. He hoped this eourse would be abandoned, and the proposition he now made accepted. Mr. Bayard explained that his associates and htmeelf were not prepared to accept the proposition. He reviewed the history of the measure, showing that Its proportions had gradually developed till, finally. Ucame from the Senate Republican caucus with Important changes. Some of its reductions were only ostensible, not real, particularly that in regard to hoop-iron and cotton ties. It was questionable whether there was really a reduction in the sugar duties. These caucus measures of the other side would not be accepted without the freest right to debate and amend them. A readjustment, of the burdens of the tariffs, admitted to be out of date, unequal, unreasonable and full of errors, was the most important question before the country, and the other side now proposed to abandon the work of their own councils, to let the tariff eo and take up this little, shameful apology of a bill. A lone discussion followed between Messrs. Vance, Beck, Hoar and Sherman. The matter then went over without action, and the Senate passed the joint resolution of the House, providing temporarily for the expenditures of the government since June 30 The House adjournment resolution was laid on the table for fu ure action. The Senate, at 5:30 p m , went into ex ecutive session, and at 6:30 adjourned. THE STAR ROUTE TRIALS. The proceedings In the star route trial to day were dull compared with those of yes terday. Congressmen Page and Berry, of California, testified to having frequently urged upon the Post Office Depar ment the extension and expedition of the 6tar service In their State. A number of pri vate official letters and books of the Postal Department were called for by the defense, but the department could not produce them. The Star this evening publishes the fol lowing: “There appeared to be a general impression about the court house to-day that the defense had made a serious mistake In putting Buell on the stand, for the dis closures be made uader Merrick’s searching cross examination, were quite aa damag ing as Walsh’s uncontradicted testimony. “The matter has, it is understood, caused discord among the defendants and their counsel, who accused one another of the re sponsibility for the blunder. Col. Ingersoll called Buell to the stand, but, lc is stated, did so In accordance with a general under standing. Still he was blamed for the out come. “This morning logersoll did not appear in court, but strode for a while up and down the portico and terrace outside. One of the counsel for the government said some time ago that the time would come when the de fendants would have to separate, and It ap pears that Buell’s tes’imony was the heavy blow on the wedge that ls to spilt the de fense.” CONFIRMATIONS. The Senate confirmed the following nomi nations : Wm. Hale, of lowa, to be Gover nor of Wyoming; Andrew W. Sraythe, to be Superintendent of the Mint at New Orleans; A. H. Leonard, to be United States District Attorney for the Eastern district of Louisiana; A. M. Hughes, to be Collecorof Internal Revenue for the Fifth district of Tennessee; T.

That Drank In Ik* Gaplt I—Goody- Goody Blair Wrecked—Absentee' Ism—Floral Oftertnge-Tbe Demo cratic Campaign Committee Waking I p, Washington, August 2.—1 wrote to you the other day about a debauch In one of the House committee rooms, in which were engaged Speaker Keifer, Representative Hiscock aud others. There has been developed a further little episode in connection with that common drunk. One of the participants, a member of Oo r gress from the West who was so overcome by emotion and things that he had to be taken home in a carriage, exacted a little scene as he was being driven away. He had his pistol in his pocket. As he passed the Naval Monument of Peace, at the foot of Capitol HiU, his ire was aroused, and poking his revolver out of the carriage window he fired twice on the erection of marble. He failed to hit it. It was, of course, what he drank that made him shoot. It is hardly a wonder that he should have fired upon the monument. It is such an abortion in art that many a sober man has been tempted to try and demolish it. A RESURRECTION. Until Shipherd nailed him, Senator Blair, of New Hampshire, was prominent in Con gressional proceedings, and alwavs prominent on the temperance question. When he was in the House it was the same thing. In fact Blair served successive terms in the House, and finally secured his electi in to the Senate simply because of continual and holy harping ou the question of temperance. He was the pet of temperance societies, especially such societies as were composed of ladles, and made much cap.tal therefrom. Ever since Shipherd told how Blair was his attorney that gentleman has been quiet. He has not even figured in the Congressional Record, and the temperance folks and the Sunday schools dropped him To-day he attempted to come forth from his obscurity. It was on the same subject which has made him what he is—temperance Sen ator Beck, evidently tired of seeing this very good man work out his capital, as he has in the past, made some very pointed remarks about Blair’s past record with certain innuendos s as to bis righteous connec tion with Shipherd. Blair had not the face to stand up under the fire. He murmured that if Senator Beck knew him better he would not make such /etnarks. Senator Beck received congratulations for having silenced a fraud and a demagogue. It is not likely that Blair will emerge from his hole for some time. THE CAUSE OF ABSE TEEISM. There is usually a great deal of absenteeism among members of the House, and for the past ten days the number of members away has been unusually large. The question is fre quently asked as to what causes this. The an swer is plain to those who observe political do ings. Congressional nominating conventions are being held ail over the country, and the member hies him home to look after things. “Important private business” is what calls him away The fences must be inspected, and the “boys’'must be fixed. It is a noticeable fact that where Congressional conventions have been held and the present incumbent renomi nated, he invariably returns straight to Wash ington and beams and smiles when coagratulat- On the other hand, however, when he fails of renomination he does not come back at all. He cannot face the condolences of his fellow constituents. Those members who fail of renominstion could not be made to believe but that the country will sadly miss them. The country can perhaps stand it if they can. FLORAL OFFERINGS. At the commencement and near the close of the session it is generally the case that many members of Congress have bouquets of flowers placed upon their desks in the morning, behind which they complacently sit the whole day long. There are but very few such offerings now. In fact, a bouquet on the desk of Mr. Ryan, of Kansas, yesterday elicited unusual comment. Ryan and his bald head were the lions of the hour. There was a discussion in the reporters’ gal lery as to why there was not the usual deluge of flowers, 'ihe solution was furnished in the explanation that the Botanical Hardens had not had a good season, and had produced very few flowers. It is from the Botanical Hardens that the member—free of cost—usually orders the floral “offerings” that are to be seen on his desk. SIGN OF ACTIVITY. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, of which General Rosecrans is the Dominal, and Representative Flower the active head, w commencing to show signs of activity Mr. Flower has mapped out a plan of work, and real operations have commenced. A good many documents have been selected for printing and distribution,and some of them are ready for the mails. Contributions of money have been unusually numerous. In fact, Mr. Flower says that he is going to make a very lively fight in the fall campaign. It is to be hoped that he will. Hitherto the fighting of this committee has been with the mouth to a very large extent. One document which wiU be circulated, and which will doubtless do good, will be a resume of the work of Congress under Democratic rule, and the record of plundering and failure to relieve the taxpayers, which has been made by the Republicans since their return to power in the legislative branch. Potomac. WASHINGTON COUNTY. Political Talk—The Ro'atlon Sys tem and tlie Twentieth Senatorial District—A Republican Meeting— The Crops—Health of the County, Etc. Sandkrsville, Ga , July 31 —Editor Mominq News: A call was made by the Executive Com mittee of the Democratic party through the local papers last week for a mass meeting on the 29th for the purpose of selecting delegates to attend the nominating convention of this Senatorial district, which will convene at Mil ledgeville on the 2d proximo, and the public were also notified by a written notice over the signature of the Chairman of the Ex ecutive Committee of the Republican party (who, by the way, is our “much cugsed” mail carrier) that “Hon. Jeff. Long, of Macon, will address the Republicans of the county on the political issues of the day, at the court house in Sandersville, at 1 o’clock, Saturday, July 29th,” hence we thought we were justifiable In anticipating a regular “field day” in politics. This opinion was strengthen ed when the almanac added to our stock of information the fact that the 29th was the first of the “dog days,” and the alarming preva lence of rabies excited our fears lest the heat of discussion and desire for preferment might develop symptoms of this dread disease among the would-be watch dogs of the country’s safe ty. Mr. Vennor has made prognostications of all kinds unreliable and erroneous, and so was ours. According to the unjußt rotation plan it is Baldwin's time to name the Senator in this dis trict; hence, Washington is lukewarm. The meeting was only attended by about thirty and was called to order by Hon. P R Talia ferro, Chairman of the Executive Committee- Hon. S. G. Jordan was made permanent Chair man, and E. A. Sullivan. Esq , Secretary Hon M. Newman, H N. Hollifleld, John N Gilmer and Clement C. Brown were appointed by the Chair as delegates, and empowered to their own alternates. We say “unjust rotation plan." because such it is, in our opinion, and should be abolished for many reasons. In the first place we object to the regular change of Representa tive which its observance necessitates. Never mind how able a man the incumbent may be or how earnest and unanimously two-thirds of his district may desire his retention, he mu*t step down and out, to be succeeded, perhaps by a man by far his inferior, simply because the honor must rotate Again, a man thus elected may and can jus'ly feel under obliga tion, not to the whole district, hut to his own county only, for his county really nominated him and the other two acquiesced mildly not because he was their choice, but simply in obedience to the rotation system. The Republican meeting was attended by a much larger crowd, the notoriety of the speaker attracting many of our staunch Demo crats. Hig speech was wild, scattering and tautologlc as a whole, yet in some parts very good, giving wholesome advice to his race as to the acquisition of education, the practice of honor and virtue, and the disregard for politi cal balderdash that tended to antagonize the races. As he candidly confessed, it was diffl cult to tell where he stood politically. He de rided the Democratic party, terming it the “so-called Jeffersonian Democracy ’’ and indulged in many such bits of sarcasm which pleased the few anti-Stephenites pres ent and met a hearty though unexpressed “jess so” at their hands. He instructed his party to await the action of the State Conven tion, and then to go solidly for the man thereat nominated or indorsed, and while he prated a good deal about not “selling out,*’ we could arrive at no conclusion but that he is trying to make himself and influence a marketable ar ticle that it will be to somebody’s interest to buy. Showers have been frequent during July, and now we hear complaints of excessive moisture as likely to produce rust upon the cotton plant or at least cause it to shed fruit. The potato and pea crops, like unto the small grain and corn, are unprecedentedly fine, so that we could stand a partial failure in cotton reasonably well, were it not for the heavy bur den of debt cas> upon us by the failures of the past three years. Typho-malarlal fever prevails to a consider able extent throughout the county, but not as yet of a very malignant type. The experience of last year causes us to dread the months of August and September. The many friends of Rev. Geo. C Clarke throughout the South Georgia Conference will be pleased to learn that he has so far recovered from his recent illness as to be able to fill his appointment here yesterday. Our court house is being greatly improved by increased seating capacity, elevation of boxes, and the addition of an eight-day clock and handsome eight-light bronze chandelier. cTli m Kidney Disease.

The Post has the following from Alexan dria: “The English soldiers here are much overworked. The deficiency of officers is especially felt. Telegraphic communica tion between the Khedive and Arabi Pasha has been restored. Grave doubts are enter tained regarding the trustworthiness of the interpreters whom the English are forced to employ for lack of better. When the forces move forward the English will be at the mercy of these men, as through them the rebel authorities can obtain informs- tion. Tb” Times' Berlin dispatch, announcing that Prince Bismarck had instructed Prince von Hohenlohe to express to M. de Frey clnet his regret at his retirement from the Ministry, also says at the sw time, a wish has been expressed that De Frevclnet could bs induced to resume office, in which caße_Germany would be willing to support hlaEasiem policy as much as possible. The War Office has issued notice that the number of newspaper correspondents al lowed to accompany the army in Eeypt shall be limited to eight for the London newspapers, four for Provincial papers, two for Bcotch papers and two for Irish papers. A dispatch to the Times from Constanti nople says: “Notwithstanding the declara tions of the Ottoman delegates to the con ference. I do not believe that the decision regarding the dispatch of Turkish troops to Egypt is final. I consider it certain that they will not be sent, if Great Britain really insists upon their being placed under orders of the English commander, which would be Inconsistent with the dignity of the Sultan. Ihe Sultan cannot op -nly espouse the cause of Arab! Pasha nor openly break with him.” A Paris dispatch to the Standard, report ing that Baron de Courcel will be the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, says : “The policy of Baron de Courcel is that of ab stention from action in Egypt, while reserv ing all rights and liberty of action should France cease to take part in the confer ence.” A dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company from Buez states that the town has been occupied by the British. The tele graph office has been reoDened. London, August 4 —The Daily News has the following dispatch: Port Said, August 2 —The B itish Con -6UI has hauled his flag on account of the unsatisfactory reply from the Governor to the question whether he favored Arabi or the Khedive. None of the Consuls will return the visit of the Governor ex cept the French Consul, who states that bis position is different from that of the British representation. The Daily News' Alexandria correspond ent telegraphs that the Bittern has returned from Aboukir, and reports having seen sev eral trains arrive at Aboukir full of sold'ers The correspondent denies the report that Arabi Pasha has proclaimed a holy war. Hon. Hugh Childers, War Secretary, said the question whether the corresp indent of the Daily Telegraph shall be excluded from the British Hues was under considera tion. The Lascar seamen on board the ships engaged for the Egyptian expedition have struck work and refused to proceed. They regard the mission as aggressive toward Mohammetanism. Alexandria, August 3, 11:30 a. m.— List evening and to-day alarm was caused by rumors of an impending massacre of Chris tians. The patrols have been ordered to Increase their vigilance, and the police to confiscate arm of the natives. Criers have paraded the native quarters of the city enjoining the people to remain at home at three o’clock this afternoon the hour which It was reported had been fixed fur a massacre. News from Cairo to the 30th ult. stated that seven Pashas were Imprisoned in the citadel. Among the number was Alt Sherlf Pasha, who was arrested because he em ployed Greeks to guard his house. The reconnolssance to-day was the most extensive yet made. The Thirtv-eighth and Sixtieth Regiments advanced in two col umns. The enemy’s position was found to be almost abandoned. With the exception of a few videttee, none of their force was observable. A few shots were fired, but there were no casualties. The British re turned at dusk. A dispatch dated Suez, August 2, says: “The British marines occupied the town in time to save It from being burned. No re sistance was offered. All the Egyptian troops fled.” The thirty-eighth regiment made a recon noissance at 4 o’clock this afternoon to| a point five miles beyond the Ramieh out posts. The detachments occupying the gates of the town were ordered to hold themselves In readiness to support the re connoitering party In the event of necessity. It has been discovered that Arabi Pasha has again destroyed the railway to Mahalla which was recently repaired. Cairo, August 3.—The official rebel jour nal has published the decision of the great national meeting held on Saturday. After considering the different decrees emanating from the Khedive, including the order dis missing Arab! Pasha from the office of Minister of War, a motion was adopted declaring that in consequence of the occupation of Alexandria by foreign troops, the presence of the English squad ron in Egyptian wa’ers and the attitude of Arabi Pasha in repulsing the enemy, Arabi must be upheld as Minister of War, and that the orders of the Khedive and his Ministers in Alexandria were null and void, as the Khedive acted contrary to religious and civil laws. The Under Secretary of State was in structed to submit this decision to the Sul tan. The decision is signed by Princes Ibrihim, Ahmed and Kamil, seven princes of the Yeghen family, the Bheiks of El Ashar mosque, the Muftis of the four Sunnite rites, the Grand Cadi of Egypt, the Coptic Patriarch, nine various Vicars and Sheiks, thirty Judges, eight Under Secretaries, twenty-eight civil Pashas, including Benia, twelve Mudters and one hundred Notables of the various religious denominations. Constantinople, August 3.—At the sit ting of the conference yesterday, Count Cortl, the Italian Ambassador, introduced a proposal formulated by Italy in regard to the Suez canal. The representatives of Germany, Austria and Turkey immediately signified their adhesion to the proposal, but Lord Dufferin and the Marquis de Noallles the English and French Ambassadors, spectlvely, declared that they must consult their governments before coming to a de cision. M. Onou, the Russian representative, after rejoining the coofereDce yesterday, gave no reason for so doing. He announced that Russia also adhered to the proposal of Italy In regard to the Suez canal. Paris, August 3 —The Chamber of Depu ties met to day, but adjourned until Satur day, pending the formation of anew Min istry. M. de Freycinet absolutely declines to join any ministerial combination. Vienna, August 3.—lt is reported here that Arab) Pasha is negotiating with the Palace at Constantinople about a kind of parole action between his own and the Turkish troops to be sent to Egypt.

ESTABLISHED 1850. H. 0. T. Tl Radical CaneniM la Atlanta Indulge la a Hot Tlme i Row, a Riot and a Kumpns-The Colored Rank and Pile Rebel Against the White Office-Holders. The Georgia Radicals have had in Atlanta what the Hon. Bardwell Slote would truly call ah. o. t.— a high old time. Already an account of the scrimmage between the white wing under Longstreet, H. Potash Farrow et al, and the colored wing under Pledger and his followers, have been given our readers by telegraph. Full details of the disgraceful rumpus, however, may be gathered from the following “extra” of The National, a colored paper published in Atlanta: “It becomes our duty to chronicle one of the most disgraceful riots ever known in this ;city. On Tuesday night (last night) there was In the United States court room a caucus of about one hundred delegates to the Republican State Convention, to assem ble in this city to-day, assembled for the purpose of considering matters to come be fore the convention. It was composed of about equal portions of whites and blacks, there being at least one hundred delegates present. “Judge J. R. Wlkle, of Bartow county, was Chairman of the meeting. General James Longstreet, Henry P. Farrow, and about one hundred of ’Jiose opposed to the re-election of Mr. Pledger as Chairman of the Republican B'a’e Centra' Committee, composed the meeting. Mr. Pledger being the Collector of Customs at this port, and ex officio custodian of the building, had in the afternoon ordered the janitor of the building not to permit the caucus to meet In the court room, and at the same time he and his friends called a caucus In another part of the city, and when the hour arrived for the meeting, 8:30 o’clock, all were in dark ness, and the janitor announced to all par ties that it was Mr. Pledger’s orders not to open the doors, and they couldn’t get in. “General Longstreet and Colonel Farrow arrived and found nearly one hundred men In darkness. General Longstreet being United States Marshal, has control of the court room, and ordered the room opened, and It was opened. The meeting had organ ized and was sitting with closed doors. None were admitted except those who favored a reorganization of the State Central Commit tee with anew Chairman. In other words, there is one wing of the Republican party known as the anti-Pledger party, and one favorable to Pledger’s re-election as Chair man, and this was a caucus of those opposed to Pledger’s re-election as Chairman. For this reason Mr. Pledger sought to lock them out, notwithstanding he had bimself presided over a caucus yesterday afternoon composed of all the delegates who had arrived in the city. His effort to prevent the caucuß was a failure, and he then attemp'ed to break it up. The caucus was proceeding quietly when all at once fifiy or seventy-five persons, all colored, rushed into the building, led by Mr. Pledger and J. H. Brown, and seized the door keeper. Mr. Chap. Norris, and violently threw him aside and forced open the door and rushed into the court room, yelling and cursing In a fearful manner, threatening violence to al! who should attempt to hold a caucus without them. Mr. Pledger and Mr. Brown were both drunk, as were many of their followers. They immediately took violent control of •he court room, and Mr. Pledger announced that he was custodian of the building, and ordered the Chairman, Judge Wlkle, to ‘vamoose ’ But the Judge, not being accustomed to such proceedings, was em barrassed, and failed to ‘vamoose.’ Gen eral Longstreet promptly sent one of his Deputy Marshals for the police, and in five minutes the police appeared and arrested Pledger and Brown and quelled the riot. They had completely possessed the court room for a brief period, and, being drunk, came very near ‘dressing out’ the old General and his Lieutenant But Long street and Farrow were protected until the arrival of the police, by friends who got between them and the rioters. It looked at one time as though Brown would whip Far row anvhow, if he could. Thp police soon restored quiet and carried Pledger and Brown to the station house for drunken and disorderly conduct, where additional charges will be lodged against them for riot. The meeting was then restored to order and Col Farrow explained that It was a caucus of Republicans who desired to reorganize the party on a working basis, and were, there fore. opposed to Mr. Pledger’s re election as Chairman of the Btate Central Com mittee. and that for this reason Mr Pledger had first attempted to have them locked out of the room and having failed in that, had led a mob to break up the meeting, and as nothing more could be done with the room full of unin vited persons, he moved to adjourn, and the caucus adjourned. It was the most disgraceful riot that ever occurred in this city. It now remains to be seen what ac tion will be taken by the State Executive Committee, now in session, relative to the digraceful, drunken conduct of the Chair man of the State Central Committee, who first attempted to lock the doors of the court room against those who do not wish him for Chairman any longer, and fail ing in that attempt, to break up a Republican caucus by riotous storm ing of the building. It now be comes a questlou whether he should be expelled from the committee which is now in session. The general impression last night was that he should Immediately re sign or be deposed. It is proper to say that every white delegate who had arrived in the city, with the exception of about four or five and about half the colored delegates who had arrived, were in the caucus which Mr. Pledger attempted to break up. It is not a question between the whites and blacks, for there were as many or more col ored men in the caucus as there were white men. The issue is now fairly presented to whites and blacks whether they have enough self-respect to refuse to countenance such conduct as Mr. Pledger perpetrated last night.” Asa sequel to the above the white office holding wing of the party Issued and caused to be distributed the following circular: REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.

Mlu Rocks, Robbed of Her Hair Wblle Asleep, Dlea ot Uriel. A special dispatch from Baltimore, Md., says : “About two weeks ago Miss Jennie Boggs, a young lady about sixteen years of age, who for several years past has resided in the family of Mrs. George Freaner, wife of the late Hon. George Freaner, of Hagers town, Maryland, was awakened at a late hour at night by a noise in her bedroom. Thinking it was one of the Inmates of the bouse, she asked who was there. Hearing no respoufe, she arose from hei bed, walked to the door of her room and looked out in the passage, where she saw man making a hasty exit down the stairs. She alarmed the household, but no clue to the intruder could be ascertained. About one week ago the yonng lady rose in the mom ing and discovered that during tbenighi someone had entered her room while she was asleep and had cut all her hair from hei head. Upon informing Mrs. Freaner of what had transpired, several friends of the family were summoned, and an examlnatioi of the premises was made. The lower doors of the house were found open, as well as a window. It is supposed that some person, jealous of Miss Boggs’ magnificent hair, which reached nearlv to her feet, had en tered the dwelling, chloroformed the poor girl, and robbed her of her tresses. The mysterious affair caused a sensation in the usually quiet town, and on Wednes day last this was greatly intensified when it became known that Miss Boggs was seriously ill. The best medical aid was summoned, but despite their efforts the girl died last night. She was born In this city, and adopted by Mrs. Freaner when quite young, and had received the kindest treatment from Mrs. Freaner’s family. The cause of her death is said to have been an acute attack of cholera morbus, but the general opinion is that she died from grie at the loss of her hair, as she would sit from morning until evening and complain of the nefarious act. The Advice J. E. B. Stuart Gave Virginia When a United States Lieutenant. Biahmomi (Pa.) Dispatoh, July 29. A meeting of the Executive Committee of the Virginia Historical Society was held last night at Its rooms in the Westmoreland Club House, Colonel Cabell in the chair, a number of gifts of books, etc., were re oorted; also, from Robert Hunter Steger, Esq., an autograph letter of General J. E. B. Stuart, dated Fort Riley, Kansas, March 23, 1861, and written to John O. Steger, Esq., of this city (he was then a Lieutenant of cavalry, United States army), in which he says: “I verily believe that Lincoln is only wait ing for our convention (Virginia) to ad journ without action decided before he be gins coercion. * * * He is only wafting to get firmly seated on his throne. * * * We wljl be sure to be driven by unfriendly legislation from the present Union even If we submit, which I think every impulse and consideration ! f safety should prevent. * * * I deem it a simple duty to apprise you, as a roan on the spot, to be sure to near in miml of how great Importance the Tredegar Works are to the South. No one knows better than Gen. Scott, their value to us, and no man will see the importance of taking possession by a coup de main. I beg you to see that It is secured at once as soon as the secession ordinance passes the con vention. If Gen. Scott was will ing to incur the Immense loss of life which took place at Molino Del Rey to capture a similar place, Is It not plain that he will be quite as intent upon seizing the Tredegar? Ir we have war I want to be vis-a-tiis Bumner, so as to teach him 6ome cavalry evolution, and take him prisoner. It would be ‘sweet revenge’ to be able to treat him with distinguished con sideration as a prisoner of war. By the way. does Wise’s plan meet with adherents? Does not even a blind man see that to take up arms In the Union Is to make Virginia guilty of the baseness of making every son of hers amenable to the crime of treason, whereas i? she resumed her sovereignty all of her sons who fell Into the Federal hands would be prisoners of war, while so far as results would go she would in she Union be helping by her revenue to wage war against herself? Secede, and she is a power for eign to the Federal Government, and can with propriety hold the remaining States ‘enemies in war, in peace friends.’ * * * When Virginia secedes I will resign instan ter and go to Virginia— ’o Richmond first.” Mr. Brewster’s Opinion. New York Herald. The opinion ot Attorney General Brew ster that “a member of Congress is not an officer of the United States in the constitu tional meaning of the term” raises an im portant question touching the succession to the Presidency. The second'article of the Constitution em powers Congress to declare “what officer” shall act as President In case of the removal, death, resignation or inability of both the President and the Vice President. By this provision ot the Constitution the power of Congress to designate who shall act as President in the emergency named is re stricted to officers of the government, and consequently do<>6 not extend to any person who Is not an officer within the meaning of the Constitution. The persons designated by the act of Congress now in force are the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House. In construing the statute for the punish ment of officers and employes who levy or pay political assessments, Mr. Brewster de cides that a member of Congress is not an officer of the United Btates, and therefore the statute does not apply to him or to any person who pays the prohibited assessment to him. Is, then, a member of Congress an officer constitutionally qualified to act as President iu the emergency for which Con gress has been authorized to provide? If Mr. Brewster’s interpretation of the political assessment act is right the existing statute of Congress providing for the Presi dential succession In case of the death of both President and Vice President would seem to be unconstitutional, and conse quently neither the President of the Benate nor the Bpeaker of thu House would be qualified to act as President in case that emergency should arise. If the Attorney General should hold that law to be consti tutional then his opinion of the assessment act must be wrong. This is a matter of vital importance at the present time, when there Is no Vice-Presi dent to take the place of the President In case of the latter’s death, and when con sequently, the executive liable to devolve upon the President of the Senate or the Speaker of the House. The opinion of the Attorney General on this specific ques tion would now be of timely interest and importance. But whatever his opinion may be the subject is one which demands the early attention of Congress. A bill is pending to vest the succession in the Cabi net officers, and this should be taken up without further delay. Rsnsmtuaied for Congress.
