The children are said to have lingered in
great pain and died in agony. The singular
part is that the negroes refuse to tell where
they got the i>ork from.”
The Americas correspondent of the News
wrote on Wednesday as follows: "We have
had heavy rains through this section for the
last few days. The clouds indicated a cyclone
all day Tuesday and Tuesday night, bat the
News correspondent cannot hear of any
damage in this neighborhood. Some say that
the heavy rains have damaged young corn.
The indications now favor clear weather,
however. The sun is shining beautifully.
Gardens are booming."
The Dalton (’Risen says: “About eighteen
months ago a little eight-year-old granoson of
Mr. Whitsitt, of Ringgold, was bitten by a
vicious Spitz dog. No apprehensions wore
entertained concern ini; the bite, and the mat
ter had been almost forgotten, until one day
las! week, when the child was taken suddenly
w ith convulsions. Medical aid was iminedi
ately summoned, hut the little fellow con
tinued to grow worse until he expired. It is
generally couceded that the boy died of hy
drophobia."

iast week was the trial of Or. .f. M. Moore for
arson. Dr. Moore and Mr. .lolui I). Gantt

Writing on Wednesday, the 20th ilist., the j
Canton correspondent of the News narrates
the following: “Yesterday a cyclone passed
the northern part of Cherokee county. About j
the line between Milton and (.herokee four or j
five houses and one church were blown down.
Esquire Christian, an excellent citizen, was
killed, aud Mrs. Connor badly hurt. It came
from the southwest, and the first we heard of I
it was at Dallas, l\iulc!ing county. There j
about a half dozen houses were blown down j
aud four people killed. The cyclone crossed
the railroad between Woodstock and Mari- |
eita, sweeping everything before it. but no ]
one was killed. It then passed on to Zula and
GaiueSTitle, doing much damage."
On the 25th inst. the Wrightsville correspon
dent of the News wrote as follows: "The I
Supreme Court ot this district being in ses
sion. our Superior Court closed with one
day’s work, owing to the attorneys connected
with the most important eases having to at- I
tend the Supreme Court. Hubert Flinch, col
ored, was sentenced to the chain gang for ten
years.—Quite an excitement prevailed for a
few hours in the afternoon yesterday. A
great many men were very sick after having
taken dinner at a certain hotel. Their ail
ments appeared at first to l>e poison of a se
vere character, but resulted from a too free
eating of fresli pork made into souse, which
caused indigestion.”
John smith, a tramp, who picked up a few
nickels by giving street exhibitions with a
seven-foot rattle snake, was arrested in At
lanta while lying on the sidewalk in a drunken
stupor with the snake in a Ik>\ under his arm.
The Mayor fined him $d 75. Not having
any money Smith consented to al
low an officer to shoot the
snake, and he himself left the eitv instanter.
The snake measured fully t> inches around. It
had 7 rattles and a button, ami was a most
hideous looking thing. Its fangs had never
boon drawn, and when aroused it would eoil
itself and strike at the sides of the box or any
thing that was placed near it. The patrol
man did not deem it advisable to let the snake
ust, hot ehot it through the head while it was
in the box. Smith ssivs that he caught the
snake on the st. John’, river in Florida, and
that ho was carrying it U# c-liiosgo, his home.
The Butler Herald prtuu the follow tug- “A
very aggravated case came up before our
Mayor's court last Friday in which a large
portion of the young heroes of our town, about
thirteen ic number, were arraigned before his
Honor the Mayor, for disorderly conduct com
mitted on Sunday before. For want *' sutli
eient proof to convict them these boys were
released by the Mayor tipou tlielr own evi

of the crime alleged against them, and we are
only sorrv that our city fathers did not make
a more thorough investigation of the crime

The Athens Banner says: “The people in

woman what tells people’s fortunes.’ She is
taking it cowboy fashion, and is said to be
armed with two pistols, which she drew on a
negro who, in his expressions of opinion, was
not very flattering to her ladyship.’’
The Butler Herald says: “A severe storm of
rain and wind passed over Butler and a por
tion o% Taylor countv on Sunday night last.
The most severe wind lasted only a few mo
ments. The direction of the storm seemed to be
from a southwest to a northeast course. At
this place a large quantity of fencing, timber,
aud a few outbuildings wvre blown down.
Manychickens were blown away and havenot
been heard from, and some were blown from
their roosts and killed. The first we hear of
tlie storm in the county is at the residence of
Mr. i’riee stringfleld, about one mile from
town. Here two large trees were blown
across his house; very little damage was done
and no one was hurt. About one hundred
panels of fencing were destroyed. The
next residence in the path of the storm was
that of Mr. S. 1! Moore, who lives a!out three
miles northeast of town. Here was great
destruction. Nearly everything in the shape
of a building w as blown to atoms; fencing all
gone and timber uprooted, broken off' and
scattered to the four winds of the earth. A
little farther on and the residence of Mr. A.
H. Windham suffered the same fate as did
that of Mr. Moore. We have heard of no
other families in the county who have suffered
the equal to those of Mr. Moore and Mr.
\\ indliam. These gentlemen had good homes
and have suffered a very sad loss. Fortu
nately there were no lives lost, but some
members of their families were severely
bruised. We hear of some damage being
done near Byron's mill. A few negro houses
were unroofed and other outbuildings blown
down. The destruction to timber along its
pathway is said to he great, as the land is
very heavily timbered in that portion of the
county. Large pine trees were twisted from
their bodies and carried a hundred yards.”
The Glade correspondent of the Crawford
Sews- Alonitor furnishes the following full ac
count of a crime which has already been
briefly chronicled in the News; "On last Sat
urday our little town was thrown into consid
erable excitement at tin? announcement of au
infant having been found dead in an old field
near Miss Sallie Smith's. A negro, Jesse
Woodruff, was working near by and seeing
buzzards in the pines, sent his’ (laughter to
find out the cause. She soon returned and re
ported a child dead. Jesse went at once to
the scene, and not knowing what to do,
brought the child’s body to town. The Coro
ner was at once sent for and lie arrived about
10 o'clock Sunday morning, and after making
up a jury, consisting of C. M. Witcher, J. VY.
Tiller, W. J. Davenport, Willie Glenn, John
Haius. Simon Hirschflcld and Judson Cooper,
Coroner Boggs repaired to the scene of the
tragedy, carrying the body of the infant,
which remained here during Saturday night.
On approaching the house of Mies smith,
she and her daughter, lain, were heard
to remark. ‘You needn’t come here—no
child lias been destroyed here.' Knowing the
character and previous condition of young
Miss Smith, suspicion at once rested upon her.
The child was found about fifty yards from
the house, with the skin off of the top of its
head and the skull broken. Pieces of llesh and
blood were found on a rock where the child
was found on Saturday, hut owing to the rain
■Saturday night, only faint signs could he seen
Sunday. Young Miss Smith was in bed,
claiming to have fallen over a stick of wood
Friday night, thereby hurting her hip. Dr.
W. /. Faust held a post mortem examination
of the body, and testified that the child had
breathed, and that it died from the effects of
a blow on the head. A number of other wit
nesses were sworn. The evidence in the case
is very conclusive. The jury for sufficient
reasons withheld the verdict. The child was
buried in the graveyard near Miss Smith’s
house Sunday evening.”
The I‘oolu County Vindicatin' savs: “About
4 o’clock Monday morning a terrible cyclone,
accompanied by a very hard rain, passed
through this county just above Bvronville.
The devastation in its track left timbers about
one mile in width, so that it was utterly im
possible for the mail carrier to pass
through en route to Montezuma with
the mail. His description i- perfectly hor
rible. The plantation of Mr. Page, ot near
Bv ronville, was completely demolished. The
colored Baptist Church was blown down, and
many others received injuries, which informa
tion reached us too indefinitely to publish as
facts, so we withhold flying rumors anil by the
rext issue will probably give fuller details.
The storm struck Mrs. Uorsey’s place, near
Turkey creek, demolishing every house. No
person or stock killed. Unroofed all the build
ing- on T. W. Sheffield’s place; blew down
Matthew Crumpler’s dwelling and outhouses,
also the outbuildings of Gen. Griffin and J. F.
Butler. Tank Carroll’s outbuildings aud
Green Wright’s houses were lifted off the
blocks: Alex. Wright’s crib and stables, Mrs.
Amanda Herring’s dining room and some other
houses were destroyed. Mrs. M. J. DuPree,
Z. T. Ennis, Joe Folds, Francis Herring ami
Joe Herring had their out buildings and ten
ant houses destroyed. The destruct.on of
timber aud fencing was very heavy. It is
about oue mile and a quarter above the one
that passed through last year, though not so
destructive in tin- neighborhood. The de
struction at Mt. Olive Church is very heavy.
Mr. Knuis' house was about the centre of it.
No lives are reported being lost. About 3
o’clock Monday morning a bunch of Doolv's
young men. while raising the flood gates of
Lockerman’s mill, of the second district of
this county, preparing to catch a mess of fish
for breakfast, were considerably alarmed on
coming out from under the noisy null-house
aud finding that a most terrific'cyclone had
passed within about half a mile of them, and.
returning thanks to the great Protector on
high, they proceeded with renewed energies
to catch the fish, and were blessed w ith about
fifty pounds,”

GEORGIA TO BE REIMBURSED.
The Senate had read three times and
then passed the bill to repay the State of
Georgia $22,507 for money advanced by
said State for the defense of her frontiers
against the Indians from 1795 to 1818, and
not heretofore repaid. From this amount
the bill as passed requests that there shall
be deducted any debt which may lie due
by the State of Georgia to the’ United
States, and “debt” not being intended to
include any direct tax not assumed by
said State. This qualification as to the
word “debt” was added on motion of Mr.
Brown, who said that as Congress had
not required any of the other Southern
States to assume the war tax, he did not
suppose it was intended to include any
thing <if that sort in the word “debt” in
this bill. If the United States should re
quire the Southern States to pay that the
State ot Gorgia would pay her share of
the tax, but this transaction should be
settled by itself.
Mr. Morgan said that there was money
due to the State of Alabama from the pro
ceeds of public lands, but that the State
could not get it because the Secretary of
the Treasury held it as a credit against
the war tax because some of his prede
cessors had done so. The rule followed in
that department was that of stare decisis,
and once a decision had been come to
there was no way of changing it.
THE EDUCATIONAL BILL.
The hour of 2 o’clock arriving the Chair
laid before the Senate the educational bill.
Before taking it up Mr. Plumb offered and
asked unanimous consent for considera
tion ot the following resolution:
Resolved, That the Secretary of the Treasury
be directed to advise the Senate what amount
of the war tax of 18(11 is due and unpaid; from
what states or from citizens of what States
due; whether any portion of said tax, and, if
so, what portion,’ has been paid by withhold
ing moneys due to any State or States for the
general government, and whether the rule
adopted in withholding such money has been
applied alike to all States.
Mr. Blair objected to its present con
sideration, and the resolution went over
under the rule.
Consideration of the educational bill
was then resumed. Mr. Hampton ad
dressed the Senate in favor of the hill.
DIFFERING WITH MR. BUTLER.
It was with sincere regret, he said, that
he found himself unable to agree with his
colleague (Mr. Butler) in regard to a mat
ter of so much importance to the interests
of their State as the measure now before
the Senate. He most lully agreed with
all that his colleague had said of the pluck
and energy of South Carolina, of her re
cuperative powers, of her earnest efforts
in the cause of education, and of the great
results which she had achieved under the
most disheartening conditions. His col
league could utter no expressions about
South Carolina too laudatory to find full
echo in his (Mr. Hampton’s) heart. No
one could have a higher appreciation than
he had ot the heroic courage,
sublime fortitude, silent patience and
unflinching adherence to right which his
State had manifested during the time
when bad men were throttling her to
death; but she had secured her place
again, where she had once been, among the
great sisterhood ot tree and sovereign
States. Knowing and appreciating all
this, he sympathized fully with the ring
ing words in which bis colleague bad re
counted the efforts of his State in the
cause of education.- Mr. Hampton pro
ceeded to add to the recitals of Mr. Butler
with respect to the educational achieve
ments of South Carolina. He showed that
the administration of the State Govern
ment cost $240,000 a year, while there was
expended for public schools and charita
ble institutions sooo,ooo. He animadverted
with great severity on the carpet-bag re
gime in South Carolina, characterizing it
as a period when fraud, corruption, vice
and crime ran riot throughout the State.
The public schools of the State, he said,
cost more than twice as much as the ad
ministration of the State government, and
those schools, maintained at so much
cost, were open to all alike, no distinction
being made on account of race or color.
Might he not ask, what State could make
a better showing than South Carolina un
der difficulties that might well have ap
palled the mosesanguine and courageous?
CHARLESTON’S EXAMPLE.
As an instance of magnificent municipal
achievement Mr. Hampton cited Charles
ton, which had spent on its schools one
third more than the prosperous and class
ical city of Boston, and did this while
pressed down with a debt of $5,000,000.
But after all this was told and after hear
ing all the facts which had been so ably
and eloquently presented by his distin
guished colleague, be (Mr. Hampton) had
been obliged to come to the conclusion di
rectly opposite of that reached by his col
league on the pending lull. He had no
doubt that there were 250,000 children be
tween the ages of ten and sixteen in the
State requiring education, and this could
not be given to them at less cost than five
dollars per capita annually. This would
involve an expenditure ot $1,250,000. The
amount thus far spent on schools had
been SOOO,OOO annually. How was the
State to raise the increased sum in her
present exhausted condition ? In the face
of all the facts the people of South Caro
lina were authorized to ask aid of the gen
eral government in behalf of those whom
the government made citizens and adopted
as its wards.
NOT AFRAID OF UNCONSTITUTIONAI.ITY.
Important as Mr. Hampton deemed this
matter for the preservation of good gov
ernment throughout the whole country,
he would not advocate this or any other
measure that in his judgment violated the
constitution of the United States. Like
his colleague, he (Mr. Hampton) had been
trained in’ the school of strict construc
tion, and had never learned to look be
yond it. He could not, however, see that
the measure under consideration was
more open to objection on constitutional
grounds thau was the measure introduced
at the previous session by his friend and
colleague, and he did not believe that so
able a constitutional lawyer as his col
league would introduce or advocate a
measure violative of the great charter of
our liberties. \Vhen that measure had been
introduced, Mr. Hampton had felt him
self on safe ground in following the lead
of his colleague in invoking the aid of the
Federal Government for the purposes
of education in his State. Mr.
Hampton lelt compelled to occupy
the same ground now, for the most care
ful and serious reflection had brought
him to the conclusion that the greatest
danger that threatened the permanency
of our institutions came from the fright
ful prevalence of illiteracy.
THE GOVERNMENT AND THE CHILDREN.
Those to whom the blessings of educa
tion had unfortunately been denied were
potent for evil, and, in Mr. Hampton’s
opinion, no government would discharge
its duty to its citizens that did not secure
them an education. In order that the
destinies of this grand republic should be
properly directed we should see to it that
the ignorant and illiterate among
our population are prepared properly
to assume the grave responsibilities that
rest upon them. If vve would not be re
creant to the great trusts committed to
our keeping we should legislate for chil
dren, and what legislation more import
ant for their welfare than that
which secures to them the ad
advantages ot education* Animated by
those sentiments, Mr. Hampton felt com
pelled to support the bill before the Sen
ate. It might not be perfect in its de
tails, but he appreciated the difficulties
with which the committee had to deal.
It was certainly a step in the right direc
tion. Several Senators, be continued,
bat} twitted the people of
the South with not baying
put their own shoulders to the wheel be
fore calling for aid from the Federal Gov
ernment. Others had expressed the fear
that the Southern States would not hon
estly apply the funds. In refutation of
the first cidthi 8° far as South Carolina
was concerned, he would rtjfer to statis
tics which he had already quoted.
SAVANNAH, FRIDAY, MARCH 28, 1884.
CALUMNY IGNORED.
The other and graver charge he deemed
unworthy to be noticed by a Southern
man. He would rely upon the statements
of Northern men, men whose words
should have weight before the Senate,
to show how unfounded the accu
sation was. Mr. Hampton then quoted
trom the reports and addresses of
Rev. Dr. Mayo, of Boston, and Hon. J.
H. Smart, Superintendent of Public
Schools of Indiana, testifying to the ex
traordinary energy and progress shown
in the matter of education in the South,
Dr. Mayo saying that never within any
ten years in the history of the world had
so heroic and persistent an effort been
made for education as within the past ten
years in the Southern States, and this
effort included in its benefits the children
of both races. Mr. Hampton would not,
he said, be drawn into an argument about
the civil rights of the colored people of the
South, a matter which had been reterred to
by some Senators, but he would simply
read some of the laws on that subject
standing on the statute books of South
Carolina. He then quoted from the civil
rights acts of the State to show that en
tire equality of civil rights was accorded
to all citizens, and expressed a doubt
whether any State in the Union had such
stringent laws for the protection of the
rights of its citizens.,
FEDERAL AID NOT DANGEROUS.
Mr. Pugh said lie had had no disposition
totake part in the debate on the bill, but
being a member of the Committee on Edu
cation which reported it. he felt that be
ought to say a word in support
of it. Every person who had
represented the laboring classes
before the committee during the past few
months had represented the pressing nec
essity of educational facilities for their
children. The Southern States had done
all that they possibly could, and that not
being enough this measure came in sim
ply in aid of their efforts. Some gentle
men said that the people ought to be left
entirely to their own efforts in the matter,
that aid from the General Government
would endanger their self-supporting fa
culty and render them indifferent to the
work of developing theirown schools. The
people of the South had listened a long
time to such teaching, and had heeded the
cry that it was wrong and dangerous to
accept aid from the Federal Government,
from the common treasury, to which they
contributed more than their just and
equal share, and that self-support and
self-reliance would bring them out all
right in the long run. They were now
waking to realize that they had had a
“long run,” but their condition was not
improved. They saw their associates in
the common government taking all the
aid they could get and exacting a tribute
by law from every industry, while laugh
ing at the “self-denial” of the people of
the South.
A BENEFIT TO THE GOVERMENT.
The Southern States did not ask this as
a bounty, Mr. Pugh said. They had con
tributed more than their share of the rev
enue. The use to which the money was
to be put would accrue largely to the
national benefit in eradicating an alarm
ing public evil. This was a government
of the people and Mr. Pugh had no fears
that the people would permit the serious
assumption of power which some geutle--
men had deprecated. Our great experi
ment of self government was an estab
lished success, and the people were
abundantly able to take care of their lib
erties. Usurpation might show itself in
the designs of political parties, but when
ever it was seen by the people it would be
paralyzed by a blow from the ballot box.
There was no State in the Union that
would seriously consider a proposition to
place its public schools in the hands of
the general government. Mr. Pugh
spoke upon the constitutional objections
to the measure and could not see that
they were well founded.
Mr. Blair sent to the desk and had read
a petition just received bv him, to be pre
sented to the Senate, signed by the Presi
dent and faculty of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, urging the passage of the pending
bill.
Mr. Call had heard with much satisfac
tion the remark of the gentleman from
Massachusetts (Mr. Hoar) the other day,
that if we were to take counsel with our
resentmehts we might draw conclusions
distrustful of the etticacy of the bill.
NOT A SUBJECT FOR RESENTMENT.
He concurred with that Senator that
this was not a subjecton which we should
allow our remembrances or any resentful
feelings to weigh. He had been glad to
see that spirit very generally displayed
in tbe debate. Mr’. Call spoke at some
length, insisting that a measure of this
character was a necessity to and an ac
companiment of the growing development
of the time. The changes wrought by in
vention and progress were every year
constantly tending to the displacement of
and necessary readjustment of the eco
nomic forces of the laboring classes, so
that not only was a common school edu
cation becoming every year more and
more necessary, but industrial education
as well. Mr. Call also supported the bill
on constitutional grounds.
Mr. Harrison said that it seemed to be
conceded that if there were any obliga
tion existing for tbe proposition of this
bill, it was because of the emancipation
of the slave. Yet we were distributing
this money all over the Union—even to
States whose Senators told us that they
were well able to take care of their own
children. We should apply plaster to a
wound, and not wrap up the whole
body. He would therefore move an
amendment that the aid should go only to
States which should have not less than 10
per cent, of illiteracy, and prescribing
that the State assessment for education
should not be lessoned by reason of the
aid given by the bill.
Mr. Lamar rose to address tbe Senate,
but gave way for a motion to go into ex
ecutive session.
Mr. Blair said that it would be neces
sary for the friends of the bill to see that
a vote was taken this week.
The Senate then went into executive
session, and when the doors were re
opened adjourned.
IN THE HOUSE.
In the House to-day, Mr. Cox, of New
York, asked leave to report from the Com
mittee on Naval Affairs the Senate joint
resolution granting permission to Ensign
L. K. Reynolds to accept the decoration of
the Royal and Imperial Order of F’rancts
Joseph, but Mr. Cox, of North Carolina,
and Mr. Brumm, of Pennsylvania, object
ed.
The morning hour having been dis
pensed with the House at 12:15 o’clock
went Into committee of the whole, with
Mr. Dorsheimer, of New York, in the
chair on the bonded extension bill, and
Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, rose to
speak In opposition to it. The pending
measure was of graver consequences
than any considered at this session, and
if any gentleman supposed that only.the
parties directly interested were watching
the progress of the bill he would discover
when, perhaps too late, that he was igno
rant of the sentiments and wishes of the
people. Legislation had been in the di
rection of making the manufacture ot
whisky in this country a monopoly.
Mr. Randall said this with no disre
spect to the gentlemen engaged in the
production of whisky, but he considered
this monoply a dangerous factor in pub
lic affairs, ’if he could relieve distillers
by the repeal of the tax in toto, or by a
partial repeal, he would do so. What he
feared from the pending measure was
that it tended to make permanent the in
ternal revenue system. He abhorred the
system, and stood against its con
tinuance any longer than could be
helped, and any act of legisla
tion likely to perpetuate it
he telt it his duty to resist. He regarded
the bill as class legislation. Similar rea
sons for relief might be urged bv any
other business, and if relief were’ right
and granted in one case, why not in all*
Believing the bill wrong in principle,
vicious in practice, and unwise in every
respect, he had steadily resisted even its
discussion. F'or the reason given aud many
others, he was more anxious to reach it
vote than to discuss the question.
THE LAST OF THE SUPPORT.
Mr. Blackburn, of Kentucky, in mak
ing the closing argument in support
of the bill deprecated any dis
cussion founded on prejudice
on the one hand or on sympathy on the
other, lie argued that’in common jus
tice and fairness Congress should grant
the relief asked for. The government
would uot lose a single penny, and its
financial condition was such that it did
not need the money that was involved,
and he submitted to business men and to
practical law’-makers that no objection
could be reasonably lodged against the
petition of these people. It had been said
that the passage of the bill would result
in the repeal of the internal revenue sys
tem. The gentleman from New York
(Mr. Hewitt) no doubt spoke from bis
Uonest conviction, but be spoke for.
himself alone, and no other
man, who spoke in support of the meas
ure, held views similar to those. The
gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Ran
dall) had said that the’ course of whisky
legislation had been in the interest of mo
nopoly, and that he opposed it because it
was a jnenopol/.
A RAP AT RANDALL.
He (Mr. Blackburn) sincerely thanked
God that with the aid of a search war
rant there was at last discovered one mo
nopoly on the continent of which the gen
tleman was not the champion. He was
delighted to find that there was one thing
which secured the gentleman's opposition
to monopoly. Possibly it was explained
on the ground that it was not located
in the gentleman’s section. Mo
nopoly, indeed! If this bill were
rejected the only measure of protection
which distillers would secure would be
that protection which would be found in
seeking aid from foreign governments
which their own refused to accord to
them. He did not believe that the bill
went far enough. He did not think that
any period of limitation should be fixed at
all. He did not believe in the constitu
tional power of Congress to tax any com
modity as a measure of consumption.
The representatives of the whisky in
terest had come to Congress settiug’forth
an holiest case, aud asking on fair and
honest business principles to get relief.
They might be driven away, but he
thanked God that they would'go as they
came, clean handed, the searching suspi
cions of the gentlemen in opposition to the
contrary notwithstanding. He knew
that in the last Congress Messrs. Kelley,
Randall, Herbert, Blount and Dunn had
not been opponents of the bill.
A LITTLE DIVERSION.
Mr. Blount—“The gentlemen mistakes
as to me.”
Mr. Blackburn—“ Did you vote against
an unlimited extension bill?”
Mr. Blount—“I have not examined the
record.”
Mr. Blackburn—“And I have, and that
is the difference.”
Mr. Dunn—“My views have never
changed.”
Mr. Blackburn said that he did not
object to gentlemen changing their views
on questions ol great national policy. He
knew that they had done it from the best
motives, but he submitted that the line
should be drawn somewhere, and gentle
men should not set themselves up to shape
and fashion laws and sentiments ot Con
gress who shifted their convictions on
questions of national policy with the same
apparent facility, if not frequency, that
they were supposed to change their linen.
Mr. Blackburn’s speech was listened to
with great attention, and at its conclusion
he was warmly applauded by his partv
associates.
The general debate having ended, Mr.
Blount, of Georgia, moved to strike out
the enacting clause of the bill, and this
was agreed to by a vote of 131 to 87. Tbe
committee then rose and reported its
action to the House, when it was confirm
ed by a vote of 185 yeas to 83 nays.

A RUSH FOR NEW MATTER.
The whisky bill being disposed of there
was a general rush to secure precedence
for consideration of other measures on
the calendar as special orders.
Air. Payson, of Illinois, called up the
bill for the forfeiture ot lands granted to
aid in the construction of a railroad in
Oregon: Mr. Dowd, of North Carolina,
that for the retirement of the trade dollar;
Mr. Reagan, the inter-State commerce
bill, .Mr. Hunt, the shipping bill,
and all were antagonized hy Mr.
Cox, ol New York, who wished to pro
ceed with the business on the Speaker’s
table.
Mr. Dowd was successful in his effort,
and the House proceeded to consider the
bill called up bv him. The bill provides
that until January 1, 1886, trade dollars
shall be received at their face value in
payment of all dues to the United States
and shall not be paid out again that
holders of trade dollars may receive in
exchange thereof at the office of the Trea
surer or any Assistant Treasurer of the
United States standardjdollars; that trade
dollars so received shall be transmitted
to the coinage mints and recoined into
standard dollars, and that trade dollars
so received at the coinage mints shall be
regarded as silver bullion, and at their
bullion value shall be deducted from the
amount of bullion required to be pur
chased and coined by the act of February
28, 1878. After debate and without action
the House adjourned.
KIVEII AND HARBOIt FENDS.
A Total of #11,000,000 to be Appropria
ted-!*5,000,000 to Go to the Missis
sippi and Its Tributaries.
Washington, March 27.— The River
and Harbor Committee has nearly com
pleted consideration of the proposed river
and harbor bill. It is understood that the
aggregate of the bill will not exceed
$11,000,000. The principal sums of the bill
will be appropriations for the Mississippi,
Missouri and Ohio rivers, and the great
harbors on the Atlantic, Pacific, Lake and
Gulf coast. To the Mississippi and its
tributaries about $5,000,000 will probably
be appropriated. The committee has not
yet decided what part of that amount
shall be expended upon the Mississippi
itself. The members of the House are be
ing invited before the committee to make
such statements as they may see proper
concerning improvements in their respec
tive districts and States. The bill, it Is
thought, w iH be reported to the House not
later than April 20.
The Fieldler Claim Against Brazil.
Washington, March 27.—A joint reso
lution reported lrom the Committee on
Foreign Relations was passed by the Sen
ate to-dav, requesting the President to
bring to the attention of the Emperor of
Brazil the claim ot Helen M. Fieldler,
executrix of Ernest F'ieldler, deceased,
against the Brazilian Government, grow
ing out of a contract for the hire of a
steamer to transport emigrants from the
Southern States to Brazil in 1867.
Mr. Hoar remarked that he thought it
a bad policy for Congress to interfere in
the business of the Executive Depart
ment in regard to foreign governments,
but be diu not wish to prejudice this
claim by an unfavorable vote upon it.
Savannah’s Committee Again Heard.
W ASHINGTON, March 27.—Mayor Lester
and the other members of the Savannah
committee were heard to-day bv the Com
mittee on Public Buildings and Grounds.
Mr. Nicholls was with them. Arguments
why new buildings should be erected by
the government at Savannah for a post
office and court house were made, and the
meagre accommodation of the government
in the way of buildings at Savannah was
shown. The committee was verv favora
bly impressed by the arguments made.
Switzerland's Order to Go.
London, March 27.—The Swiss Federal
I Council has ordered an immediate execu
tion of the order of expulsion against the
| four Anarchists.
DIGNA’S WHITE FEATHER.
BUT LITTLE OPPOSITION MET
WITH BY THE BRITISH.
Opinions that the Battle Was Too Inde
cisive to be of Much Account—Gen.
Graham’s Forces Ordered to Fall Back
on Suaklm—Admiral Hewitt Going to
King John.
London, March 27.— Gen. Graham tele
graphed this morning to the following
effect: “The evening and night were cool.
The reveille was sounded this morning at
3:30 o’clock, and as quickly as possible
the troops were got in readiness to ad
vance on Tamanieb. The cavalry were in
front and the infantry followed in echelon
of brigade squares with the guns between
the brigades.”
A later dispatch says that the British
advanced to-day to Tamanieb and burned
the village. The Arabs fled and the fight
ing ended.
THE PORTE’S RIGHTS TO BE RESPECTED.
The English Government has reiterated
its reply to the Porte that the moment
is untimely for reopening negoti
ations regarding Egypt, and that the
Porte’s rights will be respected.
Orders have been sent to Gen. Graham
to return immediately with his troops.
SCATTERED LIKE CHAFF.
Suakim, March 27,11 p. m.— The British
forces began to advance on Tamanieb at 5
o’clock this morning. The firing opened
at halfqiast seven, and was brisk on both
sides. The rebels were in larger num
bers than yesterday. The English cav
alry and mounted inlantrv led the attack,
and drove the rebels from the rocks, dis
persing them among the hills.
THE CAMPAIGN AT AN END.
The rebels fired on the British troopers
from the rocks upon the left. The cavalry
dislodged them and advanced to within a
hundred yards of Tamanieb. As soon as
Gen. Graham came up with the infantry
and guns, shells were thrown among the
flying Arabs and exploded close to them.
On reaching Tamanieb the men and horses
made straight for the wells and slaked
their thirst. After a brief halt the cavalry
moved out to the right and left of the vil
lage in pursuit of the retreating foe. The
village forthwith was burned to the
ground. Gen. Graham will explore the
region in the neighborhood of the wells of
Tamanieb, and then will return with bis
whole force to Suakim. The campaign is
at an end.
THE BERBER ROAD.
Cairo, March 27.—C01. Ketchiner and
Major Bundle have started from Cairo to
co-operate with Capt. Cheriaside in nego
tiations for the opening of the road to
Berber. Telegraphic communication be
tween Berber and Shendy has been re
stored.
There were no British casualties. The
loss of the Arabs is unknown.
NOT A DECISIVE ENGAGEMENT.
The authorities here consider that Os
man Digna’s retreat without a decisive
battle leaves the opening ot the Berber
route unsettled. It is reported that Osman
is now at Mewaneh, a hill village 5 miles
from Tamanieb. fie has several hundred
adherents, chiefly Bishareeus, from the
Berber district. Gen. Graham, after re
connoisances toward Sinkat and Me
waneh, will return with his whole force
to Suakitn, leaving Captains Chermside
and Cameron with friendly Sheikhs to
negotiate the terms upon which the tribes
will keep ttie Berber road free. Gen. Ste
phenson and Sir Evelyn Baring urge upon
the home government the necessity of an
early withdrawal of all the English troops
from the Red Sea coast.
GARRISONING SUAKIM.
Admiral Hewitt proposes that 400
marines be left to garrison Suakim, to be
relieved every fortnight.
It is reported that Gen. Stephenson is in
favor of garrisoning Suakim and Masso
wah, with a contingent ot native Indian
troops to bo relieved from Bombay
monthly.
Hassan Bey, the commander at Kas
sala, has sent word to Massowah that the
Kassala garrison has food and munitions
for one month. He asks to be relieved by
tin English force. Admiral Ilewitt, with
Capt. Speedy and Consul Mason, will
start from ilassowah next week on a
mission to King John of Abyssinia. They
will meet the King at Adoulis.
IRFLANI) AND THE IRISH.
Mr. Parnell Predicts tlie Rejection of
the Franchise Bill hy the Lords.
Dublin, March 27. —The Freeman's
■/on nml, of which Dwyer Gray, mem
ber of Parliament, is editor, pub
lishes this morning an interview
with Mr. Parnell. The House of
Lords, Mr. Parnell believes, will reject
the new franchise bill. The result ot this
will be the dissolution ot Parliament and
an appeal to the country. The govern
ment, he says, is dependentupou the com
mittee of the whole upon the Irish vote
for a majority.
The raising of a geueral fund is con
templated to meet the exigencies of the
Parnellites.
PARNELL’S ELECTION PLANS.
Mr. Parnell expects, under the present
franchise, that bis party will be able to
carry 75 seats in Parliament at the next
general election. The candidates, he says,
will he required to give a pledge that
they will sit, act aud vote with the Irish
party or resign. It is necessary, he be
lt ves, to make provision for eligible candi
dates who are poor. In his opinion, £40,-
000 would be a sufficient fund to cover
election expenses, and to secure con
stant and efficient attendance of Irish
members in Parliament.
The Orangemen and Liberals of Ulster
are negotiating with a view to a division
of the seats of Pariiament at tbe .next
general election, so as to prevent the
election of Parnellites.
lItAXOE AXI> THE HOVAS.
Treaty Negotiations Resumed and an
Agreement Hoped for.
Paris, March 27.—1n the Chamber ot
Deputies to-day M. de Laneß9au’s inter
pellation in regard to Madagascar came
up for debate. Prime Mmister Ferry
spoke at some length in explanation and
defense of the government’s policy in
Madagascar. He said in substance: The
delegates of the Hovas with whom nego
tiations were being conducted left Paris
suddenly, without paying their hotel bills,
just when an agreement seemed imminent.
It is hoped that the negotiations, which
have been resumed, will result iu a treaty
winch shall guarantee the protection of
the inhabitants ot the north
western district of Madagascar and
of resident Frenchmen, as the
acquisition of land by foreigners, except
Frenchmen, is inadmissible. To raise
the question of sovereignty would involve
a war to the death with the Ilovas, and
would necessitate a policy of conquest.
It is incumbent upon us to be modest and
wise in order to obtain practical results.
If, however, the pending negotiations fail
we shall spare no effort to reduce the
Hovas to submission.
A PIUNCE’S PETTY SPITE.
Bismarck Withholds His Hand from
Sargent Sargent's Promotion Will
Give Him the l>ry Grins.
Berlin, March 27 .—Vie Deutsche Tage-
Matt says: “At the dinner which he gave
in honor of the Emperor's birthday, Prince
Bismarck greeted Minister Sargent with
a courteous bow, but shook hands with
all the other diplomats.”
NOT A VICTORY FOR BISMARCK.
Apropos ot the appointment of Mr.
Sargent to be Minister to Russia, Die Ber
liner TageMatt considers that America
ha 9 conferred a demonstrative honor upon
Mr. Sargent which cannot be regarded as
a victory of Prince Bismarck’s policy.
The Xorth German Gazette, Prince’ Bis
marck's organ, is silent on the subject.
LOOKED UPON AS A HAPPY SETTLEMENT.
London, March 27. —A Berlin corres
pondent says the transfer of Mr. Sargent
to St. Petersburg is regarded here as a
happy settlement of a personal difference
which had become acute. It is thought
that President Arthur will not hurry to
till the vacancy at Berlin.
Carl Schurz Declines the Testimonial.
New York, March 27.—The movement
011 the part of the friends of Carl Schurz,
to raise him a testimonial of SIOO,OOO, has
been abandoned at the earnest request of
Mr. Schurz. A considerable portion of
the sum named had already been paid
into the fund, and without doubt the full
amount would have been raised. The
matter coming to Mr. Schurz’s knowl
edge, he requested that the money should
be returned to the subscribers, and out of
regard to bis feelings this has been done.
Jay Gould at New York.
New York, March 27.—Jay Gould ar
rived here this morning in his yacht Ata
lanta, making the run from' Fortress
Monroe in eighteen hours.
RANDALL’S TACTICS.
Au Effort to be Made to Defeat the Mor
rison Bill by Postponements.
Washington, March 27.—There are
further designs against the Morrison
tariff' bill by Mr. Randall, his fol
lowers and others who are in
clined to be just a little liberal on the
tariff issue. It is proposed now to
postpone action upon the Morrison bill—
to stay the debate upon it until more
feasible measures looking towards tariff
revision can be .acted upon, in the
House from time to time there have
been bills introduced by conserva
tive Democrats and Republicans look
ing towards an increase of the free
list by abolishing the duty on salt and
lumber and reducing' the tariff on cotton
goods, sugar, etc. These measures have
all been overlooked. It is upon these bills
that it is designed that action shall be
concentrated. There are Republicans in
the scheme. All of Mr. Randall’s crowd
are said to be for it. They say that if
there must be tariff’ revision it is better to
take up these separate measures and put
them through separately without amend
ment, singly and upon their distinct
merits. Of course a move of this char
acter would be damaging to the prospects
of the Morrison bill.
CRUEL TREATMENT PICTURED.
To lay aside Mr. Morrison’s bill at this
time, or to postpone action u]hhi it from
any cause, would be to brand "Dead”
upon it. If any considerable revision of
the tariff takes place, or if there
is any material tinkering with
the internal revenue ahead of the tariff
bill proper, it will alienate the friends of
it as it now stands, and probably defeat
even debate upon it. Col. Morrison has
been busy all day. He held a long confer
ence with Speaker Carlisle in the latter’s
room at the capitol this morning. As he
was quitting the Speaker’s room the
News correspondent inquired if there had
been anything done towards fixing a time
for calling his bill up in the House. He
looked at the correspondent in an impetu
ous and perplexed manner and replied ex
citedly, “Not that I know of;” as much as
to say, “The Randall crowd may have
fixed a time.” He is chin deep in hot
water, and is just mad enough to prefer
walking out into greater depths to turn
ing about and landing. There are no
finger boards pointing the road to har
mony, and if the way has ever been
blazoned some fellow has made anew
path running at right angles and termi
nating at ruin.
WATTERSON MAD AS A MARCH HARE.
Henry Watterson has been hanging
around the capitol all day working Mr.
Morrison’s bill. It is said that he
was bluffed right and left. He is
more mad than a march hare,
aud swears to-night that he will read the
party a riot act it will remember until
the crack of doom. He has promised
another pronunciamento that will put the
others he has sent to shame. This oue is
to be a “stinger.” Ex-Senator McDonald
has been with him a good deal to-night,
and had a longtalk with him just before he
(McDonald) started to his home in In
dianapolis. The defeat of the whisky
bill and this last turn on the Morrison
bill, are too much for him in one day. To
night it looks as though Mr. Morrisou will
be driven from his pits, and will be com
pelled to evacuate his camp, unless lit*
can force the party to fix an early day to
take up his bill.
EFFECTS OF THE WHISKY ROUT
Banks F'orced to Come to the liescue
and No Panic Probable.
Washington, March 27. —The defeat
of the whisky bill to-day was expected,
but it is a matter of a good deal of sur
prise that such a majority against it as
102 was obtained. The whisky men ad
mitted its deteat by a small majority.
Those, opposed to it never thought that
they would have more than 40 or 50 ma
jority. The speeches made against it
have been particularly strong. The talk
of the whisky ring had a good deal of
effect too. Mr. Blount, of Georgia, made
one of the strongest arguments against
the bill.
There are many people here to-night
who say that the defeat ot the bill tore
shadows a painful stringency in the money
market through the Southwest, and espe
cially that portion of Kentucky where
the whisky interest is strongest. It is
predicted, however, that forcing tbe pay
ment of the tax upon whisky bonded in
1881, while it will cause considerable
distress among distillers aud banks
which have advanced money upon the
fluid, will not create a panic. Many
of the banks in Louisville, Lexington,
Frankfort, and contiguous places
have advanced money to the extent
ot forty cents per gallon upon whisky
upon which a tax must now be paid. lit
order to protect themselves these banks
must make a further advance of 90 cents
per gallon upon every gallon in which
they are interested or lose what they have
advanced. If forced upon the market at
(he present time it would be impossible to
realize more thau $1 40 per gallon, it is
claimed, and that figure would not cover
the cost to the banker, hence the whisky
will be held or exported to avoid the pay
ment of the tax. For some time it has
been known almost to a certainty that
the bill could not pass, and tbe effect of
its non passage has in consequence been
discounted. The fact that the bill would
be defeated overwhelmingly became ap
parent so early in tbe House that no effort
was made to tack on the bill to restore
the duty on wool.
