AND MORE THAN TWICE THE LARGEST AGGREGATE CIRCULATION I Accobdino to the Governor's message the debt of Mississippi, on the first of De- comber lest, wss only $1,100,605.22. “Mexican jurisprudence” is the new name for the law under which the organs claim “that Hayes is elected and will be nested.” The grand Tilden mass meeting in Washington, was addressed by Generals MoOlellan, Coarse, Banning, McMahon, Denver and others. Communications.—’Whan oommnnica tions aro sent ns we most have the name of a responsible party accompanying it. Otherwise the document is thrown into the fire—some times without looking at it. Miss Julia Grant, the infant daughter of Col. Fred Grant, received Now Year’s calls at the White House last Monday. The little miRS, who is six months old, was arrayed in a dainty Frenoh robe aet off by a gold necklace and diamonds, and re ceived her callers in her nurse's arms. The Union (Montgomery Blair, editor; says: “Tilden will be 1’rosideut unless the due course of law is defeated by force.” Garfield, Morton, Hpencer and Ingalls declare “that the loyal people will not permit the fraudulent intimidation triumph of the solid South to be a sue cess." K The Tower or the House.—The spe cial committee of the House appointed to examine into the question, have agreed that the President of the Sonato has no power to count the electoral vote, and the House has equal authority with the Hen ate in making said count. The Indianapolis Sentinel, commenting on the rumor that James Gordon Ben nett had purchased the New York Tima, remarks: “When Bennett wants to specu late in that sort of property he will doubt less purchase the entire machinery of a returning board mill instead of one of its smokestacks." General Ahsemblv op Georgia.—It met yesterday in Atlanta. Henator Les ter was eJeotod i'resident of the Senate, and Representative Bacon Speaker of tho House. Our special says there is an army of ofHoo-soekors in the city, and intense excitement prevails over tho election of State offioerB and United Htatos Senator. Bennktt-May Fiasco.—They fought a duel. They exchanged throe shots, no body was hurt and they wont home. They were satisfied. Perhaps the pistols wore not loaded. It is rather strange that men should shoot at each other at a short die- tauco threo times and miss. Bennett ap pears better at polo than pistol practioe. 'Ihk Now York World oxprossos gratifi cation at the kuowledgo that the Presi dent regards the authors of alloged outrages upon Amerioau citizens in Mexi co as “persons entitled to no respect whatevor”; and with a groat deal of perti nency adds: “Tho country would be still more pleased to see the President treat Kellogg, Packard, Wells and others who have been committing outrages on American citizens, not in Moxioo, but in Louisiana, as ‘persons entitled to no respect whatever.' ” United States Army.—It consists of nearly 22,000 men, and 4,000 of these sre quartered on tho South and half of them in the States of South Carolina and Lou isiana. Knowing this, the Uadioals have the cheek to claim negroes were intimida ted by the whites. The soldiers swear they wore not, but what is the oath of a soldier in comparison with a cooked affi davit from the custom house ? Bring on another horse and more troops. If there lied been a soldier to every negro iu tho two States, the affidavits of bulldozing would have been the same. Louisiana. —Now Orleans is quiet. The militia has disappeared like morning mists, but they cau be summoned at a moment's notice. What is tho result? The weakness of tho Packard government baa been fully demonstrated. It can only exist in the presenoe of U. S. troops. The people will neither recognize its authority nor pay taxes to its officers. It oan pass laws in the State Capitol, but they are futile outside of its walls. The courts are in harmony with the Democrats. Their policemen guard the city. Their judges are upon the bench and in the building erect ed for their assembling. The Radicals have nothiug but the oapitol. Lot the troops go and they could not hold it a seooud. The repudiation of a set of scoundrels have been portrayed strongly and outhusiastioally. The moral effect will be felt throughout the nation- The end has not yet been reached. ANOTHER POINT METTLED. A decision of some interest baa been rendered uuder the usury laws of New York. The plaintiff in the oaae had pur chased of the defendant ajpromissory note which turned out to bo void on aocount of the illegal rate of interest mentioned in it. The action was to recover the money paid for the note, and finally reached the Supreme Court, where it was decided in the plaintiff’s favor on two grounds: First, it was held that in selling the note there was an implied war ranty on the part of the vendor that it was what it purported to be—a legal, valid instrument. Second, as the note was not a legal instrument, it was entire- ly without value, the plaintiff received nothing for his money, and upon such to U1 failure of consideration was entitled to reoover his payment. Au exchange well atya there can, in this instance, be no doubt of the coincidence of law and jus tice, whatever may be thought of the ex pediency of the laws’ intervention to pro tect people from the ooneequenoee of their own carelessness or ignoranoe in purchasing worthless paper. C. I. SENATE—DEMOCRATIC IN TWO YEARN. The Republicans aro now fighting not so mncb'for the Presidency as for exist- tence. The House is Democratic now and for the coming session ‘and the Sen- nte will become such. The installation of Tilden, bringing inevitably Democratic Government* in South Carolina and Lou isiana, would result in seating three Sen ators from those States,whioh would make the Senate stand 31* Republicans and 37 Democrats. With a President, House and lacking oniy two of a majority in the Sen ate, the Democrats would have full con trol of every department, and the Repub licans being in a hopeless minority eould array no formidable opposition against the settled policy of the administration. Thon indeed would civil law be re-estab lished, the military compelled to obey it, and the Union be in fact as well as theory restored. This explains more clearly the cause of the desperate fight beiDg made by the Republicans. The stake for which they are playing is not to lose all control of ,the Government. Their correspond ents and editors are beginning to admit the desperation of their cose. Inevitable defeat awaits the Republican party, for it is founded on prejudice and hate, and pitiable passions which should have been buried long ago. Their whole system in the South i> that intelligence and wealth should be controlled by pov erty and ignorauce, forgetting the grand axiom that everywhere the mon who own tho land mast rulo it. Democracy is truly national—doing injustice to none, and maintaining equality before the law to all—and it must prevail, for right in the long run, is ever might. On the 4th of noxt March 33 of tho 76 Senators will be Democrats. Ouo seat in Illinois, one in South Carolina aud two in Louisiana—four in all—are undcoided and for practical purposes three may be re garded as remaining so, until 1879, when the terms of six Domoorats aud seventeen Republicans expire. The term of one of the Louisiana Senators will expire, so there will be 27 Democrats and 22 Re publicans bolding over. There really should bo 52 holding over, but until the political complexion of South Carolina nnd Louisiana are deoided tho parties will stand as stated with threo Senators— South Carolina and Louisiana undecided. It may possibly be 30 Democrats and 22 Itepbulicans, or 27 Democrats and 25 Re publicans—anyway the Democrats will have have a majority of thoso holding over, even if Illinois re-elects a Republic can, nnd Republican members are admit ted from Louisiana and South Carolina— and will control the organization. The ooming House, the 45th, is Demo cratic, aud its Speaker will preside at the organization of tho m xt body, the 4titb, so the Domoorats have the organizing of both Houses ou March 4th, 1879. If at the elections in 1878 tho Democrats main tain tlieir majority in the House, tho Re publicans would find themselves in a hopeless minority in both House and Sen ate and unable to prevent the admission of any Senator from the Southern States, and the Democrats would proceed at once to oust the illegally returned Sonators from Louisiana and South Carolina if they bod been admitted. This would give them 30 votes, and 39 is a majority. Twentyofour StateH choose Sonators in 1878-9. Auioug them are Alabama, Ar kansas, Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Now York, North Caroliua and South Carolina, and eight Republican Sonators from these States are certain to be replaced by eight Dem ocrats, and Democracy has the strong probability of two more from theso, with ohaucos from New Hampshire, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Ten gained will give thorn a clear majority of Sena tors. Tho Republicans are well aware of these facts, and hence,tho bitter contest they have begun, and the conspiracy to refuse seats to Lamar and Grover and support tbo diotum of tho Returning Boards. Spite of all endeavors their lease on power will wholly cease iu their stronghold, tho Senate, after March 4th, 1879. The future is bright with hope. TRUE PHILANTHROPY AND HON EY GETTING UNITED. An artiole from the New York Herald published elsewhere in this paper de serves more than a passing notico. It is regarding “Silent Sufferers.” Tho heart ache and anguish of many a family in this and other cities must be torriblo and perhaps known only to themselves. They havo aeon better days, probably rolled in the lap of opulence, or belongod to the comfortable class midway between pov erty and wealth. Others had fathom, husbands, sons and brothers whose sala ries furnished home with comforts and oft times luxuries, and kept off the gaunt speotre of hunger and bitterness. Hundreds of such are now undergoing pangs of pain and deprivation whioh cannot be disoribed. To bodily endurance must be added mental anxiety and terror of the future. Their destitu tion is really pitiable, for they have the prido to retain something of the old self, the oulture to autioipate the uncertainty and care of the morrow and perhaps its utter hopelessness. Auxious and willing to work they oan obtain no employment. What can a delicate, tenderly nurtured woman do in these times of depression and sorrow ? It is not easy to drop at once from the position of mistress to that of menial, and at wages which can hardly keep soul and body together. They can not exist like those who have been trained as servants or operatives, and besides the occupation could not be ob tained if it wore sought. Many would gladly take menial service if it oould be procured. Numbers of the very best families in the city do their own house hold and kitohen work, washing and iron ing, but often, we fear, rations are short. The effeots of poverty are far more seri ous to them than the extreme poor. They cannot beg, and they have known some thing of oomfort, and mental anxiety is added to the physical deprivation forever present in the fear of what is to come. There was never a time when the South ern girls were more anxious to earn some thing for themselves and others. They are untiring and unselfish. Their aspira tions are nohle, and independence their GEORDIA NEWS. aim. It is sad to look in the day to come and see nothing but wretchedness, to toil on forever as a drudge, while mind and ; —Mr. John B. Shields, one of the old- heart longs for something better, but est citizen* of Madison, died January 2d. harder to be let down from comparative luxury, and hear the step of cankering want approach nearer and nearer day by day, with an eagerness for employment, to labor the fingers to the bone, and yet be enabled to find nothing to do. The greatest philanthropy oar capital ists could exhibit would be to establish manufactories where the class of whioh we are speaking could find employment. Industries of every charaoter wisely con ducted and managed by enterprise will flourish in the South. This has been ful ly demonstrated. Capital in its most sel fish mood does good, for it creates and multiplies different forms of labor. Tbore are a number of establishments which oonld be erected here at small cosi,which wonld prove rennmerative, and at the same time be the means of diffusing joy and happiness to those of whom we have been speaking. Take for instance a knitting faotory, olothing bureau and works of that character. The task is not so haavy but any one can en gage in it and be glad to do so. It would serve also to save many a poor soul from eternal rain. It would be a paying charity, and productive of more blessings to the intelligent than all the money that was over spent on the benighted heathen. Care for home first, should bo tbe motto in oar land ; then stretch tho hand across the water with tbe surplus, if there be any. When first our Public Schools were founded there was some prejudice against them, bnt it was quickly dissipated when the trustees, composed of prominent and influential citizens, sont their children there, and all followed their example. Such industries as those under question might be inaugurated in a similar man ner. Blessed will they be callod; true philanthropists will they prove who will venture in such undertakings, if from no higher motive than to make money for themselves. THEN AND NOW.

Special dispatch to th> Baltimore Gazette ] Washington, January 4.—Among other indications of tho Radical conspiracy to count in Hayes is tho following : A dis tinguished politician of Pennsylvania, a member eleot to the next Congress,and one Republicans sent to Louisiana by Grant, came here several days ago with an entirely fresh scheme, on whioh he wanted to olaim a patent. The substance of it was to have the Republicans in both houses filibuster over tho committee reports and constitutional questions till about the Recoud day of March. Thou Grant was to hand in his resigna tion, which was to bo accepted,aud acting Vice President Ferry would at once as sume the reins of government. The law in that oase would be used to temporarily defeat Governor Tilden by ordering that a new election take place in November next. It was designed, in order to make this plan more likely to succeed, to offer the Presidency of the Senate to some liberal like Ooukling. Tho Republican referred to started for the President to unfold bis solution, but on his way stop ped to call on Secretary Cameron. His interview with that gentleman quieted his nerves, and he told his friouds later that Cameron said his plan was not necessary as everything was fixed. —Tbe freight train to Eofsnln and Albany from Macon baa been discon tinued, —Savannah held a large meeting to oonsider retrenchment and mnnioipal reform, over which Gon.

New York Sun.] One hundred dead! Killed—many of them burned up, without warning; a death at once sudden and attended by unspeakable suffering! A hundred dead; tbe names are not all known, and many a family will watch and wait for days in un certainty and anxiety leBt some one of its owu absent members may be among the unrecognized and unrecognizable slain. Who killed these people? The Lake Shore Railroad Company. This company has assumed the duties and responsibili* tics of common carriers of passengers, and where tbeir road passes over bridges they wero legally bound to see to it that the bridges were not only fitrongly bnilt originally, but that they wero kept and preserved in sound and safe condition. This duty they neglected, and henoe it is that to a vast number of families the hol idays have been suddenly converted into days of mourning. It may be impossible to punish the managers of the road crim inally ; hat one hundred civil- suits, re sulting in five thousand dollars damages in every one, wonld mulct tbe road in half a million dollars aggregate, the influence of which conld not fail to be salutary on other companies. Bridges and buildings aro made frail to save money. These lives were exposed and destroyed, from parsimony. Let those who destroyed them be, at least, made to suffer pecunia rily, even if they oannot be imprisoned. A MEAN INCENDIARY, CHON IN’S CASE. MORTON BUNS AGAINST THE COMING MAM— THE DEMOCRATS ANXIOUS FOB INVESnilA- TION. A Washington special of Friday aaj4 Governor Grover wet before Morton’s oommittee to-day for a considerable time, and after a searching oroea-flre left a most favorable impression on all the Re publicans present, eppaaentlj on even Morton himself. The Utter began tha in vestigation in hie peonliarlj sappish and insolent manner, bat Governor Grover's diguified, quiok and lnoid replies entirely disarmed his antagonist, and with an evi dent air of disappointment he changed his tone and treated the Governor with marked respect. He had found a foeman worthy of his steel. From the opening to the close of the inquiry it was nothing but a succession of defeats for Morton, who wriggled out of one position into another, and showed the nervons anxiety of one who finds him self with an elephant on his hands. He began by throwing oat inquiries that tendod to impugn Governor Grover’s hon esty in his decision, especially hinting that he had acted on suggestions which oarne from the East. But the Governor drove him from this position by stating that his decision had been carefully com piled, after duly bearing arguments on both sides of the oase and purely on his own judgment as a lawyer. His replies proved him wonderfully versed in legal lore aud precedents bearing on tbia oase. Morton was equally nusuooeesful when ho approached the Governor as to hiB judicial power over the count and issuing of certificates, for that gentleman quoted on authority from Morton’s own state ment, showing that the duty of issuing commissions and oertifioates of eleotion are political acts, aud tbe responsibility rusts uloue on the discretion of the exec utive ns a conservator ortha Constitution. He regarded the Constitution paramount when any conflict was discovered between its provisions and those of the Oregon Constitution, and had aoted accordingly in certifying io Crouin'a election. Finally Morton, with a good show of consequence, referred to Mr. Patrick'sviait, outol whioh Republicans have tried to extract some thing sensational, and on this point Gov ernor Grover replied with outting indif ference that the gentleman bed called on him and retnuined perhaps ten minutes. That ho wus very much ooonpisd with official duties at the time, nnd regarding the call merely as one of oonrtesy on him as Governor, had paid little or no atten- to Mr. Patrick’s remarks. And when the Governor said he knew nothing of any transfer of monoy from New York, Mor ton pettishly remarked he was not willing to oontinue the examination farther while Senator Mitcholl was absant, and oovered his retreat by postponing tbe inquiry till to-morrow, when tbe investigation will proba bly be concluded. "but Gov. Tilden lays. N. Y. Hern Id’s Washington Correspondence.] Mr. Tilden is more hopeful than he has been for a long time past of a settlement of tho Presidential issue whioh will lead to his peaceful inauguration. He regards tho fuel that Mr. Conkling was substi tuted for Logan on the Senate Joint Com mittee on the Eleotoral couut and his speech in tho Senate on Thursday last as rather favorable signs, and thiuks that tho abandonment or tha theory that the Vice President alone couuts the votes by most of the Republican Senators looks favorable toward a fair settlement of the dispute. While Gov. Tilden ia hopeful and thinks that the Republican scheme of counting him out is so complicated and requires so many violations of the law thar it may easily fall through, he is yet not confident. His friends say that, at the same time, it may be regarded as cer tain that ex-Gov. Tilden will take recourse to no incendiary or fratricidal measures if Gov. Hayes should be inaugurated by what Mr. Tilden may oonsider force and fraud. If the House does not acknowledge Hayes’ election, and eleots him, he will consent to ho inaugurated, and probably appoint a Cabinet, but he will in nowise countenance an armed nprieing, and would not even command a revolutionary army if ho were certain of captaring with it the Government. These, say some intimate friends of Mr. Tilden, are his sentiments, and we give their statement for what it is worth. Mr. Tilden is so reti cent that bo will not be interviewed nnder any circumstances whatsoever, and hence there is no way of ascertaining whether his viows are represented with absolute correctness. The statements that Mr. Tildon menus to bo present at the eleotO' ral count in Washington in February are also denied by his friends, who say that he would consider it indecent for him, aa a candidate, to personally meddle with the settlement of this momentous issue, and (hat ho will not try to bias the aotion of Congress by his personal presenoe one way or the other.

OOU2-dAwtf The Turpentine Interval ol Georgia Wo bad a vory plensnut and inetruotive interview, yesterday, with Mr. Van llok- kelon, of Wilmington, N. O. This gen. tietnau baa made a very large pure-base of land iu Appling oounty, noar Hailey, and tnuiuonoed operations in November laat. Ho baa now over one hundred bauds at work, and thirty crops of 10,000 boxes each in full blast. Eaob of these crops, iu an ordinary sea son, will yield 2,200 barrels of spirilB of turpentine, worth at this moment forty- seven oents per gallon, aud 250 barrels of rosiu, containing 28!) pounds to the bar rel. To manage thirty crops about 80 bands are needed, inoludiog dippers, teamsters, eto. Still, there is ample margin for profit in the premises. It is the intention of Mr. Uokkelen to enlarge bis bnsiness greatly, and, doubt less, bis example will be followed by numerous other citizens of tbe “old North" State, also who will be glad to exchange tbeir exhausted turpentine plan tations for the virgin forests of Georgia. Onr informant eays great care should be used in boxing the trees not to over do tbe matter. Not more than three ori fices should be made in tbe largest pines, and fully .ix inobee of spaoe left between them, ft ie the neglect of this precaution that often oaose. tbe wholesale destruc tion of the turpentine forests. Tbe boxes aro dipped abont seven times per annum, and no tree Bhould be boxed after tbe sap begins to rise, s.y early in March. The turpentine bnsiness of Georgia, now in its infancy, is destined at no dis. taut day to be one of tbe greatest ele ments of wealth in tbs State.—Telegraph and Messenger. • — • j • MW U1M, UVOi. muu. wu«u no —Seventy-seven operatives of tbe An- did it.

Washington Union.] Tbe letter of Senator Gordon, on tha situation, aud which is publishad in another column, will ba reoognisad aa ona of the fairest arguments and most ex haustive contributions jet dedicated to enlightening the conscience of beaitatiog Republicans, and strengthening tha reao- lution of determined Domoorats. Senator Gordon very proper)/ says that the adopt iou of any plans suggested tor the solution of threatening difficulty by counting iu Mr. Hayes involves a con- tom pt of precedent, a breaoh of law, and the overthrow of the Constitution. When |lie adds that “in reply to your question as to whether Mr. Tilden will be peaceably inaugurated, I am almost ready in view of the considerations I have given you, to say ‘yes.’ ” he utters not only the prophecy of a political seer, but reveals the hope, the creed and the oonviotion of the people of this oountry. Thay recog nize this event as setting the seal of ever lasting condemnation on anything life the compromise of tho fundamental prin ciples of our Uuion aud onr Government. Not the least acceptable element of this letter is tbe spirit of reliance on pub lic opinion, bidding one party to move forward and the other to halt—public opiniou, which has been shaped by the corruption of the carpet-baggers and Rad icals, by tho patriotic self-immolation of the Southern pcop’e ou the shrine of pence, by tho moral evidences of a good cause ou the one hand and the positive proofs of Maohi&velian trickery on tha other. The writer discusses (ho question near est to every man’s heart and hearthstone, not only in a lawyerlike and statesman like mannor, bnt he mirrors the mind of Democrats and conservatives. Thay oan not recognize any right to the Presiden cy but that of Mr. Tilden, and regard the threatened counting iu of Mr. Hayes ass revolutionary aot against whose commis sion every patriot must protest with his latest breath. j. c.
