SPUCH OF OBANOELDOR OF STATE UNIVER-

House were oroWded to hear the address
of the Chancellor of the State University.
The Senate repaired to Representative
Hail, whereupon the Ghanoellor of the
University, snpported by Governor Smith
and accompanied by the Judges of the
Suprome Court, appeared. They were
received by a rising house. Chancellor
Tucker was introduced by President Sim
uions. He spoke an hour and a half, and
* was greeted by frequent applause,
asked no appropriation, but contented
himself in saying that the State Univer
sity had aent ont five thousand eduoatod
men, who, as member* of Congress,
ministers, governors, judges of supreme
and superior courts, bishops, presi
dents of colleges, members of
the Legislature and intelligent
planters and business men, had made
Georgia what she was, yet the University

ADAMS EXPRESS BOBBERY—ALL SILENCE-
NO DOUBT ABOUT THE ROBBERY—ANOTHER
ONE UNEARTHED.
New York, February 8.—A report was
published in a Sunday paper to the effeot
that a large company, doing business in
this oity, was robbed on Sunday last of
$500,000, but that they refused to say
coy thing about it when questioned on the
subject. The detectives wore all spoken
to this morning about it, but they all
stated that they had not received auy in
formation. Superintendent Walling was
also questioned, and said that the first he
knew of it was from reading the report
that such a thing had occurred. He waB
very muoh surprised, aa he had not re
ceived any report of it, and made inqui
ries this morning. One gentlemen he
spoke to about the robbery said he had
also board the rumor, aud heard it said
that the robbery took place at Adams
Express Company’s office, but be coaid not
vouch for the truth of it.
It is now stated that about a week ago
one of Adams E (press Company’s drivers
went to Jersey City and reoeived from
one of the railroad companies nineteen
safes, for which he gave hia receipt. He
brought them to the company’s store
house here, as he alleges, delivered tho
whole nineteen safes to an offioial, ob
taining a receipt for the same. Subse
quently it was discovered that one of the
safes was missing, whioh came from
Uiohmond, Virginia, and, it is affirmed,
contained $450,000, more than half of
whioh was in onrrenoy, and the rest secu
rities.
Another story is that the report had its
origin in the loss of bonds, which were
stolen from the Adams Express Company
at some point between Columbia, South
Carolina, and this city. These are given
as follows : Twenty-seven Soatli Carolina
consolidated bonds, dated January 1,1874
of $1,000 oaob, numbered 1,008 to 1,091
inelusive, 1,210, 1,211 and 1,212; also
two bonds of $500 each, numbered 285
and 266; six consolidated Virginia bonds
of $1,000 eaeb, with first coupons dne
July 1st, 1875, numbers 14,650, to 14,65.'
inclusive; four coupons due January 1
1875, $30 eaoh, from Missouri State
bonds, numbers 3,723, 3,725, 8,726 and

THE KISSING BOOK.
AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERT—THE SCANDALS
OF GEORGE IV. AND HIS COURT—THE
FITZ BERBER! MARRIAGE AND ITS
ISSUE.
Louisville, February 3.—The book of
whioh £1,000 in gold have been offered
by Mr. G. Galhourne, of London, and
stated in a circular extensively distributed
by him to relate to a member of the royal
family of England, against Ihepublioation
of which the Lord Chancellor issued an
injunction, and of which only one copy is
known to be in the United States, was
Saturday discovered to be in possession
of a young lawyer of this oity.
The Courier-Journal of Sunday moru
ing ooptaius a lengthy aooouut of the
book, from which the following extracts
embrace the" origin facts :
The'book is the memories of George
IV., containing a minute history of all the
soandalous passages in his life, together
with an exposure cf the corruption of his
political administration. The identity of
the book seems positive, for it bears the
imprint of the publishers named in the
oircular, as well as the date of the issue,
1830. The memoirs are in two volumes,
and a hasty glance at tho contents suffices
too oloarly to show why it is so large a re
ward is offered for it. Two or three years
ago* au English gentleman named Taylor,
a book salesman of this oity, discovered
tLe volumes in a case of books that he
had imported from C. D. Cazonovo, a
London book dealer, now out of business.
The volumes had not been ordered, aud
it was thought that they hud been placed
ia the case accidentally. Mr. Taylor was
perfeetly familiar with all branches of
English literature, and when his eye
lighted upon the work he at once appre
ciated its value. He showed the books to
a number of literary gentlemen of this
city, and among them was the young law
yer who is'now its fortunate possessor. It
is quite certain that the reason the royal
family ere so solicitous for its destruction
lios in the fact that the marriage of King
George wi'h Mrs. Fitz Horbort is proven
by letters aud documents taken from the
royal archives. It also testifies that a
ohild was born to Mrs. Fitz Herbert while
in lawful wedlock. The book contains
finely executed portaits of those women
whose names have becorno familiar to all
students of English history in connection
with that of the amorous George.”
The gentleman in whose possession is
tlio book is Fountain T. Fox, a young
lawyer of this city. It is said he ba^re-
ceived a number of dispatches to-doy
from interested parties relative lo it.

Washington, February 2.—There was
great exoitement in the House to-day upon
the Speaker remarking, in response to a
point of order made in a speech by S. S.
Cox that he (Cox) was familiar enough
with the rules to know his speeoh waa
mas made for dramatio effeot. Cox's re
marks were that he had been on the com
mittee on rules for years, and he never
knew such an infringement as that now
contemplated. He offered bis resigna
tion as n member of that committee. At
this point the Speaker made the offensive
remarks.
Randall previously tendered his resigna
tion as a member of the oommitte. Cox
said tho Speaker bad no right to question
his motives, or to say he made a speeoh
for dramatio effect.
Lamar asked whether the ohair had the
right to question the motive of any mem
ber. The speaker said no, but it had been
intimated that he bad decided unjustly,
and be might, therefore, be excused for
speaking somewhat freely.
Cox said he had not said that the
Speaker ruled unjustly.
The Speaker inquired whether both the
gentlemen, Messrs. Cox and Kendall, did
not know that the question of their res
ignations oould not be entertained now.
ltandall said the Speaker had no right
to question his motives.
The Speaker—Does the gentleman say
his resignation was ia order ?
Bandall replied that it was when he
made it, but the Speaker had ruled it out,
The House Bepublieans attempted to
hold a aly cauous to-night. Notioe was
given by pages to members instead of by
the usual formal arrangements. It was a
failure. No members lodging at Willard’s
or Ebbitts heeded the call.

of Brevet Brigadier General W. H. Emo
ry, U. S. A., with rank and pay of Briga
dier General. Kef erred to Committee on

Clayton, of Arkansas, submitted a reso
lution requesting the President, it not in
compatible with public interest, to trans
mit to the Senate Bach information as ia
in his possession and not heretofore sent
to Congress respecting affairs in Ar
kansas, together with such recommenda
tions as he may deem proper in reference
thereto.
Johnson, of Virginia, objected to the
latter part of the resolution, and said it
was not customary to call upon the Presi
dent for recommendations.
Clayton consented to the striking out
of tho part of the resolution objeoted to,
and as amended it was agreed to.
The Vice-President laid before the Sen
ate a communication from the Seoretary
of the Treasury, in answer to a resolution
of the Senate of December 18, 1873, in

treaty was rejected.
'HOUSE.
The House has voted to reoonsider the
vote by which the Civil Bights bill was
referred to Judioiary Committee.
Tho Civil Bights bill was fairly got be
fore the House to-day, and the Senate bill
was offered ns a substitute for that re
ported from the Judioiary.
Another substitute was offered by
White, of Alabama.
In Butler's opening speech he alluded
to portions of the Southern people
banditti, horse thieves and robbers.
This remark was resented by McLean
of Texas, who said that the only murder
er whom he knew on the door waa Butler
himself, who had murdered a m&u at New
Orleans.
Butler characterized this language as
improper, uugentlemanly and ruffianly
and tho Speaker rated that the language
of both was unparliamentary.
Butler added that the trouble with the
country was thnt he had not hanged more,
oa he ought to have done.
There was a good deal of oonfusion aud
exoitement during thia scene, but every
thing was smoothed over and the debate
went on.
The vole will bo taken to-morrow,

luarn from the Savannah papers that
General Harrison was sworn in on Sat
urday, but Mr. William J. Clements,
the incumbont, refused to surrender
the offloe, contending that the late elec,
tion was illegal aud void. Thus matters
stood Monday morning.

Mpdonna was unveiled and is prononnoed
by the Telegraph a most exquisite work
of art. It is a life-size bast of the blessed
Virgin, hewn from the purest Italian
marble.

ROBERGE'S PCLMONIO 8VROF, SEA WEED
Tonic, and Maxdbakb Pills.—Those da
sarvedly celebrated and popular medicines
have effected a revolution In the healing art.
and proved the fallacy ot several maxims which
hare for many years obstructed the progress of
medical solence The lalse supposition that
"Consumption Is Incurable" deterred pb el-
ciai.s from attempting to find remedies for that
disease, and patients afflicted with It reconciled
themselves lo death without mak.ng au effort
to esoapo from a room whichtney supposed to
be unavoidable. It Is now • roved, however,
thnt Consumption can be cured, aud that It has
been oared In a very great number et cases
(some ot them apparently derperatnon s by
Schenek's Pulmonic Sirup alone; nnd In other
rases by the same medicine In conm otion with
Schenek's Sea Weed Tonlo and Mandrake
Pills, one or both, scoordlng to th* require
ments of the case.
Dr. Schcnck himself, who enjoyed uninter
rupted good health for mere than forty leer*,
was supposed at one time to be at -the very
gates ot death his physicians having i renoun
ced bis case hopeless, aud almn loneahim to bis
fate. He was cured by tbe aforestld medicines,
and slnoe his reoove y, many thousand- simi
larly affected have used Dr Sc enck s prepa
rations with tha same remarkable succor!.
Full direoiIons accompany each, making It
not absolutely necessary to personally »*'* Dr.
Schcnck unless patients wl-h their Innas ex
amined, and for this pun oso ba is p otesslonully
at hi- principal oflBee, Corner of Sixth an i
