It i» skid that there is s “hitch" in the
way of the admission of Colorado as s
Btato at present. Oct. McCook cannot
be depended on to “fix up" things to suit
the Administration exactly, and the talk
is of getting rid of hint before making a
Btato of Colorado.

A Norms cause given forthArise in gold
Is the fact that the amount of coin held
by the banks of New York is now less
than it has been at this season for seeerul
years—being now only $ 17,000,000, when
it has been usually about $25,000,000.
It is thought by many that gold will go
np to 120.
The death of Mr. Buckingham, of Con-
neotiont, will not cause any political
change yi the 8-r.ale, unless it be for Ibe
faw remaining days of the present session
of Congress. His successor (Mr. Eaton,
Dem.) bas already been electod, and will
take the seat after the 4th of Maroh. Mr.
Buckingham was a liepublioan.
Conclusion of Colfax's lecture on Lin
coln : “Having reached the topmost
round of the ladder of fame, he stepped
Into the skies."
Possibly be did. But the round next
te the top seems not to be high enough
for such a performance. Colfax himself
rsaohed the second round, and when he
“stepped down and out,” it oertainly was
not in the direction of the skies.
Extbs large importations of coffee aro
reported at Baltimore and New Orleans.
A ship arrived at New Orleans on Wednes
day, bringing the largest cargo of ooffeb
ever reoeived there, comprising 18,000
bags. These importations are no doubt
Stimulated by the proposition to reimposo
the tax on coffee. But advices from
Washington say that the proposition will
probably be defeated. Bo it may be that
thaae large importations will lead to a de-
olina in the price of coffee.
In his testimony on Wednesday, Tilton
said that bis religious views iiad under
gone considerable “modification" under
Beecher's preselling,so that now he “does
not scoept the theory of Christ as the
Jehovah of tho world,” Ha also said that
no material political difference oocnrrod
between Beecher and himself until about
18(>0, when Beecher preached a sermon
declaring military emancipation to he im
possible.” ThoHo declarations have soma
interest es showing the oharactor of the
religion of the ohuroh to whioh they be
longed, and of Beooher's “sermons."
Comobebruah lUNnAM.'s'shrewdness and
pluck in heading the Democratic “filibus
ters" in the House, have, it is said, ad
vanced his prospects of election as Speak
er of the next Honse. The Democrats
think they have found a man possessing
the very qualities they require. It is
stated that when the Radicals gave way
and consented to au adjournment, Ran
dall marched out of the House with a
bunch of flowers in one baud, a teapot iu
the other, and a package of tea undor his
arm. The flowers had been sent to him
as a compliment to hm pluck and endu
rance, and the tea and teapot gave evi
dence of his preparation to contiuue the
struggle indefinitely.
Thh Chicago papers of the 1st inst. pub
lish special dispatches from Pittsburg,
Fa., reporting a stato of great excitameut
in the oil regions, and a progressing con
flict between tho employees of the Penn
sylvania Railroad and the hands of the
Columbia Conduit Company. Tho trouble
was on occouut of the Conduit Company
attempting to lay an oil-conuectiug pips
under the ou'vert of the railroad at Pow-
ar's Run. 'Iho railroad men destroyed
the pipe; the conduit raeu, to the num
ber of one hundred, replaced it, and made
arrangements for tiring the oulvert and
other railroad property iu ease of an
other attack. It wa» rumored that the
railroad oompauy was mustering s fores
to make another attack.
A sensation has been caused in San
Fransisoo by some rumors and mysteri
ous oironmstaneea connected with the
sailiug of the United States frigate Peu-
sscota for the Sauioau islands. She sailed
from San Franoisco on tha 2d inst. On
board as a passenger was one A. B. Stein-
bsrger, lute of Washington and Baltimore,
who had a howitzer and $300 or $400
worth of small arms. General Grant
onoe sent this Steinberger on some sort
of mission to the Samoan islands, and the
queation now is whether he is going iu
some official enpaoity or on his own re
sponsibility; whether his visit is con
nected with some political scheme or for
private speculation; and if the latter,
whether he ia speculating on bin own ac
count or in copartnership with General
Grant, with whom ho is said to have inti
mate relattons.
The New York Sun publishes disolos-
vres, which seem to be reliable, of anoth
er great “Credit Mobilicr" bribery eobeme,
involving a number of Congressmen.
The development is not yet complete, but
it appears that Geueral Fremont's Mem
phis and El Paso Railroad Company set
aside in 1308 and 1869 stock and bonds to
the par value of nearly $12,000,000 for
the purpose of bribing Congress. Only
a email part of the money is traced, al
though several prominent politicians fig
ure in the oorrespondeuoe iu a most ques
tionable light. Mr. Hunter, a re-elected
Congressman from Indiana, nnd Mr.
Shanks, a defeated Congressman from
that Stato, are implicated ; and so is
Ignatius Donnelly, late Congressman
and now a candidate for United States
Senator in Wisconsin. If the doouments
•o far published are genuine au investiga
tion milt be had, and the use of the
larger portion of the fuud will no doubt
be traoed.
—The Western Georgia Co-operativa

We have just, received the copy of a
memorial signed by representatives of all
Tha States and Territories asking Con
gress to “appoint tbs IwsMth day of
February a legal holiday." This is Lin
coln's tirth day, and we used more “holi
days" Ss a nation. Tho memorial being
sent”for our comment, we mnit say we
emphatically oppose it; and tbit while
bolding tho memory of Abraham Lincoln
in highest esteem. Nine-tenths of the
people in the Booth' now-look.upon Abra
ham Lincoln with tho same feeling of
reepeot thst nine-tenths of the people of
theliarth enlertsih for. the memory of
Robert E. Lee, still we are too near the
exciting time* when each man distin
guished himself, aud too full of our seo-
tional prejudices to judge impartially of
either. The separateStatesof thelateCou-
federacy have a right to pass laws making
Gen. Lee’s birthday a State holiday,but we
think such a thing would bo unwise, and
in opposition to every taste and feetibg of
that calm, patient soldier, whose modesty
was as innate as hia genius and purity of
charaotcr. Lincoln was a man who tried
to do bia duty, a man of quiet irreaistable
energy, a man incapable of hate; but with
a deep, warm human heart. In his sim
plicity of character and ideas of duty, the
rough baek-woods-man resembled the
cultured aeldier, and be would be tbe last,
ware ha living, to endorse such a memo
rial for tha dead representative of even
the Union.
Many years will pass, and chil
dren yet unborn will die of old age before
tho storm of our oivil war is allayed, and
men can calmly and without prejudice
survey tbe merits of each oause, the ex
ploits of eaob army aud the viotories of
eaoh character conspicuous as a leader.
We are incapable of judgment, no matter
how liberal we may think ourselves, aud
the only way we can show our wisdom
and goodness of purpose is by abstaining
from aeta that show sectional prejudice.
There is not a man iu the North, no mat
ter how much be may respoct Lee, who
want* the dots of his birth made a holiday;
and muob as Lincoln’s memory is respect
ed there is not five per cent, of tbe think
ing people in the Union who want such a
bill passed. We oppose it heartily, just
a* we oppose every thing oiloulated to
bring up the memories of that terrible
war with its hateH to the minds and hearts
of the participants.
Could we diotate or influence in this
matter, we would melt the cannon of both
armies to mako ono monument to Ameri.
can soldiers. We would fenoe in the
graves with the muskets they bore, and
place in one common vault the tattered
flags which floated above tho smoke-
enveloped Hues. We would care for the
wounded of both sides alike, and make
tbo Southern soldier's orphan the nation's
ward as well as the Union soldier's. But
there are no statesmen left to advocate it,
and tbe people are so absorbed in the
thoughts of the past and the economy of
the present as wholly to forget tho safety
of the future. Tho Union is ever in dan
ger, and only a unity of interest and love
can save it. Such memorials fan the
flames afresh, and oan do no good. C.
HORTON'S NEW MOVE.
The repeal by the House of its long es
tablished rule giving the minority power
to delay legislation of sn obnoxious char
acter, was not effected solely for the pur
pose of passing the Civil Rights bill.
Several opportunies to pass that biil by
the vote of a bare majority have of late
been neglected, and there is good reason
to believe that the majority of the party
would prefer not to pass the bill at all.
Only the threats and importunities of the
Southern carpet-baggers influence them
to aid in its paesage. There Bre other
unconstitutional and revolutionary meas
ures whioh the Radicals design to put
through by a majority vot» before the
present Congress goes out of power, aud
tbe Conservatives have for some lime ap
prehended that they have a soheme for
subjecting the electionx in tho Southern
States to Federal supervision, and giving
to appointees of the President the con
trol of the voting aud counting of the
votes in the next Presidential oleetion.
Tbe resolution of Senator Mortou, intro
duced on Thnrsday, will quicken thoso
apprehensions. It is doubtless a part
of the soheme. By the rule as it now
stands, either House of Congress oan ob
ject to the electoral vote of a State. Mor
ton's resolution proposes to ohnnge the
rule so that the objection must be aus-
taiued by a majority vote of both House*.
This would mako ineffectual tho objection
of a Democratic House of Representa
tives to the counting of eleotoral votes
from the South obtained by the uso of
Federal power or by fraud iu counting the
popular vote. Votes for Grant similar to
those of Louisiana and Arkansas in 1872
would be sustaiued by tbe Senate and
counted in spite of tho House’s protest.
The House of Representatives, most of
whose members havo already boon elect
ed, and whoso term will begin on
tho 4th of March next, will be
the House before which the next Presi
dential vote by Electors will have to be
counted. That House would certainly
objoot to the uso of Federal force or
fraud iu obtaining Southern Eleotoral
votes, and it is to' make such au objee
tion of no avail that Morton moves to
amend the rules. Let the amendment be
secured, and tbe scheme for subjecting
the Southern States to military supervis
ion and control will quickly follow. Tbe
movement to amend the rule first iB only
made beoauae it is deemed best not to
expose the whole sobenio at ouoe. Possi
bly if the amendment of the rule fails
the other part of the plan will bo abau
doned.
Tbe Democrats and Conservatives un
derstand what is behind, and will fight
Morton’s amendment with all the power
left them. We hope thst they will still
have strength and euduranoe enough to
enable them to defeat it, or the measures
connected with it which are to follow.
AiiN aha uenumi.
Thiirsdtiiy, uh.— Iu the Senate, Mr.
Gobi) iutrudaoed a bill to. encourage the
sal* ol V/hoeler A Wilson’s sewing mi-
chioeE, by authorizing the agent to pay a
tax of $360 per annmu and no other.
Mr. Fanlen moved to amend by adding
tha Signer machine, and the bill and
amendment were referred B.lls were in
troduced and referred—By Mr. Black, to
establish a new charter for Eufanla; by
Mr. Hamilton, to amend the act to con
stitute the purchasers of any railroad
hereafter sold under authority of any law
of this State, a body corporate and public,
approved December 17, 1873, and to de
clare the meaning and intendment of tbe
word) ‘purchasers'as therein used. The
following were passed ; To compensate
coroners for services while acting as sher
iffs ; To fix tha term of office of aider-
men of Mobile, aud provide for Ailing
vacancies therein. Mr. Cobh, from
Finance aud Taxation, reported a substi-
turo for the tdll to amend section 957 of
the Revised Code. [It fixes what taxes
shall be assessed for tbe benefit of the
school fund.] The bill was amended by
requiring a poll ta: of males between 21
and 50 years of age, instead of 21 and 45
as now, and then passed. The bill to
regulate elections was made a special or
der for to-morrow. A bill to extend the
time for collecting taxes in Madison, Ac.,
was amended by substitats making it ap
plicable to all the counties, and thou in
definitely postponed. The committee on
Privileges and Elections reported favora
bly on the bill providing for a registration
of voter*. It was made a special order
for Monday. Mr. Hamilton, from Judi
ciary, reported a substitute for the bill to
authorize trustees to make investments
beyond tbi* State. Substitute adopted
and bill passed. Also, substitute for the
bill to amend Bection 4063 of the Revised
Code, in relation to the jury system of
the State. Passed.
In the House, the negro members ob-
jeoted to the reading of new bills a second
time. Several were read onoe. Among
them was a bill to establish a Bureau of
Immigration. The Judioiary Committee

Report of tbe Alabama Penitentiary
Committee.
The committee appointed to examine
the State penitentiary and farm, have
submitted a report, in which they show
that the building is not in good condition.
The oonviots were properly clothed nnd
apparently well-cared for.
They report that Dr. Moore,as Warden,
had expended tbe emonnt of $11,302,
and hod vouchers only for the sum of
$4,745, leaving tbe sum of $6,556 for
which there are no vouchers.
During the administration of Larkin
Willi*, as Warden, they find he expended
the sum of $30,104, and only find vouch
er* for $7,858, leaving the sum of $22,-
236 for which they find no vouohers.
Relative to the penitentiary farm, which
was purchased under a jobbing aot passed
by tha last Legislature, they say that it
contains 1,800 acres of land, 900 of which
ore in cultivation. A large portion of the
land iu cultivation is subject to inunda
tion by the overflow of the river.
It appears, toe, that the farm bought
from Thomas Williams was under a mort
gage at the time of the purchase, and that
at this time a mortgage bangs over about
one-balf tbe land. The Mobile Register
says this is a startling announcement
when the State has advanced to the pur
chaser tbe full amount of tbo money
agreed to be given for it. Tbe committee
states that Williams said nothing to tbe
Governor, the Warden or to the Attorney
General, about the existence of the mort
gage when the sale to the State was com
pleted. It was the business of Attorney
General Gardner to see that the State was
not defrauded. It appears that Williams
made transfers of $39,000 of the bonds to
satisfy the mortgage, but the committee
are not satisfied that the State is safe.
Tbe London Time* on Louisiana.
But all these references to the events
of 1868 and to the fifteenth amendment
have no relevanoe to tbe proceedings
which are really in question—the inter
ference of tbe Federal troops with the de
liberations of the Legislature at New Or
leans i-orae ten days ago. And when we
come to the oonduct whioh is really com.
plained of, we find that in substance the
President acknowledges its illegality, and
wishes to divert responsibility from him
self. He affirms that he was unware of
tbe orders under whioh the commanders
of the Federal forces acted when they
interfered with tho organization of the
State Legislators. The country will ask
then who it was that took tbs initiative.
Was it tho Seoretary of War, or Gen.
Emory, or Gen. De Trobriand ? It comes
to this, then, that the Federal
troops interferred in the political af
fairs of Louisiana on the “requisition” of
Mr. Kellogg, which was illegal, for the
pnrpose of repressing, not “domegtio vio
lence” as tbe constitution prescribes, but
supposed violent intentions. Whatever
judgment the oonntry may pass on the
persons responsible for anon a course, we
cannot help approving the request of the
President that “Congress may take snob
action as will make his duties perfeotly
clear." It is evident enough that his com
prehension of bis constitutional functions
has not hitherto been distinguiehed for
clearness.

BEAUTY.
About tho only thirtg we or nine-tenths
of our renders will remember of tho
Endymion of Keats at this time is that
beautiful opening—“A thing of beauty is
a joy forever.” If there was but one
beautiful object iu the world, we would
all set to work like pagans and worship it
ss the Aztecs did the one sun and the
Ghebors the fir*. But there is so much
that is lovely, particularly in tbe sex of
our mothers, that to adore it would be to
become Pantheists at ouoo. We ars
puzzled, but propose to obey the laws and
do our whole duty. We are in receipt of
th* following proclamation issned from
tha palace of King Bex, knowu as the
“Standard," located in the fair city of
Montgomery:
OUll PALACE.
llis Glorious Majesty to Mis Ink Devil,
Greeting :
Upon pain of death you are ordered to
deliver this without fail to the most beau
tiful in Columbus, Ga.
If you fail iu your aelaotiou, hie Maj
esty, on his next visitation, will subjeot
you to the “Infernal Tortues."

•ur desire is to obey tha King as a
good and loviug subjact, but tho task he
imposes on us is more than we can fulfill
with any certainty of being exempt from
tbs threatened “infernal tortures." Na
poleon once called Nay “tbe bravest of
the brave.” Vuloan turned from Venus
to adore Hebe, aud Sam Johnson thought
bis fat wife the most beautiful oreature at
sixty that tho Gods ever peimitted to
live. How oan we then select “the bell*
of Columbus ’ and baud this beantiful in
vitation lo the fairest when all are so
fair? Had it beon sent to the man we
like best we would not have hesitated a
moment, though modesty would have
prevented our giviug publicity to his name.
Were w* single in Columbus we would
have been in love as was our oustom be
fore becoming a benediot, and we would
have taken this invitation to her, at onoe.
But we are married, and she and we are
one, and we dread the penalty of the
King, should we dare to console our own
vain heart fly keeping this invitation,
which threatens to be another apple of
discord.
The are so many “belles," so many
beantiful girls in Columbus, that to selsct
one for her beauty would be to do an in
justice to tbe rest. Let tbs King come
over and piok for himself. He will be
sure to fall in love. But we assure his
majesty the girl iu his heart will always
bo, while with us, the one on whioh his
Kingly eyes last rested. We propose,
having a few days left for an answer, to
open the polls at our office, and ask tbe
baobelora, by ballot, to come iu and
vote for the belle, the cards will admit
two. Tbe young ladies might vote for
the beau nnd then let the two highest go
over to the Carnival together. But let
them fix it up in any way they please, to
