A aroouii from Waehtngton, 12th, to
the Montgomery Advertiser aaye that the
oonteet for U. 8. Marehal for Alabama is
between Healy and J. J. Hinds, with a
ganeral belief that the latter will be snc-
eesefal; also, that Strobach, Reid and
Keffar ara contending for the po.traaster-
abip of Montgomery, it being oonsidered
certain that Wilson will be remored.
The Augusta Constitutionalist thinks
Hon. A. H. Stephens the greatest man in
the South—a “grand and illustrious old
statesman"—because he has opposed the
calling of a State Convention in Georgia,
and it is now shown that sueh a call would
have brought down upon ns the displeaa.
nre of Geo. Grant. We had an idea of
claiming a part of this panegyric—a small
part by reflection—on the score of eur con
sistent opposition to a convention. But
wa must protest that we never for a mo
ment considered the question whether
it would be ploasing or displeasing to Gen.
Grant; and it tba glory of opposing it is
due to the fact that it would have been
displeasing to Gen. Grant, wa don't claim
any share of it,
The New Orleans papers of Friday pub
lish all the proceedings and propositions
in reference to a compromise in Louis
iana, which were brought to a close on
Wednesdsy by a d ispatch from Mr. Wheeler
stating that the propositions of the Con
servatives were not accepted by the Con
grussional Committee of which ho is
chairman. It appears that the coinpro
miee fell through bocauso of a very slight
difference between Mr. Wheeler's propo
sition and the modifloation offered by the
Conservatives in regnrd to the Kellogg
government. Wheelor's proposition made
the Conservatives “ uoquiesco" in the
Kellogg government aud pledge them'
selves not to qutstion its official acts by
impeachment; while the amendments
offered by the Conservatives pledged
thorn not to “disturb” tho Kellogg gov.
ernmout or seek to impeaoh Kellogg for
past acta. It really looks as if the com
mittee only sought to bind the Conserve
tives and to tie tbeir hands from oppo
sition to Kellogg at any time. We are
glad that tho compromise has fallen
through.

Oar accounts from Washington are not
threatening as they were a few day*
It is unmistakably shown that there
reluctance on the part of many leading
Republican Congressmen to adopt the
extreme measures favored by Gen. Grant.
The question now is whether they have
the “backbone''to support this reluotanoe.
is said that they are well convinced
that Grant's policy will oomplete the de
feat of the party and place it beyond the
reach of the hand of resurrection. But
still they appear to hesitate about taking
s'aud against him. Thoy only absent
tbomsolves from the Radios! caucuses
called to consider the revolutionary meas
ures of the Administration. The National
Republican declared last fall, in behalf of
the Administration, that the Republican
party would this winter be
greatly in need of a “leader'

Blaine was so eminently the man qual.
iiled to lead that be ought to resign the
Speakership and some down to the floor
to champion the party and its measures,
But Blaine is now regarded ns one of the
most “reluctant” of the Republican lead
era—so much so that people are looking
to him to lead off in opposition to the
Administration and its unconstitutional
recommendations. We repeat, the ques
tion of the day is, has he the “backbone''
to do it ? He and his oirole of halting
Republicans are in the predioament of
the rata in the fable. They had resolved
that tho oat must be belled, but when
they cams to consider the practical ques
tion who was to bell the cat, they failed,
just as the Blaine Republicans seem
ikely to fail now—for want of a “lead-
Aud yet it is obvious that if any
portion of the Republican party intend
to take a stand against the re-elec
tion of Graut for a third term,
now is the time to take it,
and in no way oould their opposition be
made so effectual as by resistance to the
extraordinary measures which he is at
this time urging on Congress. They can
only defeat his nomination for a third
term by rallying nearly the entire North
against him—for the office-holders and
negroes constitute tho entire Badioal
party of tho South and will support him.
How ean they do this except by taking a
stand against him in time, and taking it
upon issues on whioh the conservative sen'
tlrnent of the country is opposed to him?
If the Republicans iu Congress of the
Blaine, Foster and I’helps wing fail to
take issue with Grant upon the “strong
measures” for controlling the South sup
ported by him and the onrpet-baggers and
negroes, what other issue exoept a mere
personal ono can they make? And if
the contest in that party for its next
l’residoutial nomination is made on
n personal question, who can deubt
the re-nomination of General Grant?
Tiieae are questions which must fores
themselves upon the Republicans in Con
gress who heed the counsels of Wilson or
favor the aspirations of Blaiue. They
must seo that their party is now passing
through a crisis, aud that any offort to
resoue it from the mmletrom into whioh
it is rapidly eiroling must be made at this
time and upon the issues now forced upon
them by Gen. Grunt for his own profit
aud aggrandizement. This thought is
what gives us hope that their reluotance
will harden into positive opposition to bis

INDISH HOUNDS YIELDING THEIB TSXASUXES
Last night as wa were patting oar frait-
ful sheet to press, we Were startled by tha
appearanoa of Mr. Alexander Xermns, a
gentlemen living on Dunn's Lake, who ex
cited onr attention by hie extraordinary
natvofls and pale appearanoe, and who
held within his hands specimens of what
appeared to be oryatalixed eopper. He held
them forth to ns asking if ws knsw what
thay wara, and than relatsd tha following
aaeiningly incredulous story:
“I hsvs a tract of abont ona hundred
acres of land, npon which thars are seve
ral indian monnds. Fur some weeks past,
with the assistance of three men, I have
been dealing a portion of this land,with
a view towards pfantiag orange trees. This
morning one of my colored men while
oleering e way brneb from one of these
monnds struck upon tome herd substance
that ssemsd to give n light back and ealled
to ms to eome and see it. I at ones dis
covered what I think ia a rioh gold and
oopper quartz rook. Upon digging deeper
I found the speoimene that yon now aee.
I called my other men and opened the
monad, finding the remeine of what
seemed to be Indians, bat frem their greet
length of bonss, end peculiarly shaped
fsosa I sbonld think belong to s tribe not
in the memory of men. One skeleton in
particular struck me to be remarkable for
length and sisa of bone; it wee at lasat
nine feet in length, and tha knee joints are
about seventeen laches ia oirenmfaranoe.
In the eeve or monad I also found pecu
liarly shaped bones and arrows, the heads
of the arrow* having bean set with a sub
stance resembling the nickel of our pre
sent day, but time bad so corroded theaa
arrow-heads that I cannot tell of what
nature of metal they are.
“There were some other things found iu
tbis mound which you will pardon me if I
do not st present reveal, but I was anxious
that you ahoudae* these quartz speeimens.
I do not believe that they were formed
sines the building of this monnd; my
opinion is, that in tha building of the
mound they were thrown np and unnoticed
by the tribe. I will give yon further inform
ation whan I have time for farther re
search.”
□ere is year obance now, all yon who
have Indian monnda npon your places, to
find hidden treasures. There wee en old
tradition among the Seminoles that Flor
ids had bean at ona time iahabited by a
oivilized or eetai-eivilized raoe, and that
they ware mostly artisans, although great
in war, and that they had amassed great
tressnres whioh were always buried with
them. We do not feel at liberty to give
Mr. Xermns' statement in full, but w* do
wish that we had e few indian mound* to
open.— Palatka Herald.

The Alabama bill creating tha office of
Ootuiuissiouer of Immigration has become
a law. The headquarters of the Board
are to be at Mobile. It is to have agen
cies for theeolleotiunof information from
ail parts of tho Stato as to the advantages
which such loeslity offers to immigrants—
quantity and quality of land for sale,
priee, adaptation of soil and climate to
what products, eta. The immigrants are
to be freed from taxation for a few years,
but no appropriation is made from tba
Stato Treasury to oarry out any system of
immigration. The Governor lisa appoint
ed 0. T. Sievers, of Dallas oounty, Com
missioner of Immigration uuder this act,
with the following Board of Direotors:
Hon. David Clopton, of Montgomery
city.
Hon. Abraham Murdock, Hon. Thomas
H. Herndon, Col. Frieo Williams, of Mo
bile.
Hon. Daniel Coleman, of Limestone
oonnty.

Colonel U. M. Wooisey, of Dallas
county.
Colonel Eli H. Shorter, of Barbour
oounty.
Colonel Lewis M. Stone, of Piokens
county.
Colonel J. R. Hawthorn, of Wilcox
county.
We hope that some of these Colonels are
farmers. Most of them, w* know, ere
lawyers, and if the immigrants have any
doubts as to their legal or politieal rights
in this country, they can give them in
formation that may be relied on.
llEror.Ts from Washington say that the
Senatorial Radical caucus, ou Thursday
night, agreed to support the bill admit
ting Colorado ns u State. We believe that
tbe bill has already passed the House.
Colorado bas not more than fifty thousand
inhabitants. But it has a Governor, just
appointed, who can he relied on to get up
suoh a Legislature as is needed to elect
two Radical United States Senators. The
want uf these Senators at Washington is
what is hurryiug^the admission of Colo,

—The Memphis Avalanche lets Gov
ernor Amos have the following left
hander plump iu his snout:
“Crime is not punished in this State,”
said Governor Ames in his examination
before the Congressional Committee.
Why not ? Ames is Governor with al
most despotic power; tbe Legislature
support him in every demand; nearly
every county in the State is controlled by
his political friends ; the Supreme Court
and all the inferior Courts are filled by
Republicans who acknowledge Ames si
tbeir political chief, and be olaima that
Mississippi is Republican by nearly
80,000 majority. Yet Ames complains
that crime is aot punished in his State,
l’erbaps the reason lies in the faot that
most of the crimes ere committed by
Ames' office-holders and their friends.

This is a different case from the former,
in which the writ of injunction was de

The bankrupt swears that the execu

HOW SUERIDAN’S SWIFT WITNE8B8 FAILED TO
PEOVE THEIR OHAnOES.
Little Rook, Abk., Feb. 12.—Some
timo Biuee 195 ex-federal soldiers pub-
liMhed a statement that a reign of terror
existed in this State, and that they had
oarried their tives in their hands for ten
years. On the promulgation of this
statement, Gov. Garland directed the
prosecuting attorney to have the parties
summoned before the grand jury, then
in sessiou, and if tho faets as Btated were
found to be true, that the guilty parties
be prosecuted. He also sent a special
message to the Legislature advising the
enaotment of more severe laws than are
now oontained on the statute books for
the punisheaeut of Kn-Klux, in oase it
was thought the law was not already
sufflcently severe. The report of tbe grand
jury is published to-day, iu which they
state that about forty of the parties
were examined, and the jury was not able
after diligent questioning, to find a tingle
instance in which any man had been de
prived of his right to vote or any other
right, bnt, on the contrary, unusual quiet
prevails. The report concludes es fol
lows :
“The charges made as to intimidation
and terrorism were confessedly based not
upon personal or positive information, but
merely upon publio rumor and news
paper reports, and the evidence
as to the exiatenoe of a seoret
organization known as the White
League, or any similar organization, was
absolutely nothing. We oould find but
one man who knew of any person said to
belong .o snoh organization, and upon
summoning the party aoonsed, we found
that the organization to whioh he belong
ed, and npon whioh waa baaed the rumor
of his being a Whit* Leaguer, was the
Knights of Pythias, an order similar in
character to Masons and Odd-Fellows.”
