Bbiitobb Elected.— Yeaterday Don Cameron, of Pennsylvania, and Stanley Matthews, of Ohio, were eleoted United States Senatora. Thu Preaident haa tendered the Poet Office at Biohmond, Va., to Gen. Jot. Johnston, who haa declined it, ao aaya a apodal diapatoh. Fbxd Douoi.au waa Preaident of the Freedman's Bank when it “basted,” after having lent the money of the Southern negroes to ootton Speculators. Mas. Ei.lxn Bam, of Beaufort, haa juat obtained a verdiot of #10,600 againat the Port Boyal Railroad Company, in a unit for damage, for the killing of bar hnaband, who wu run over by a train on the road. Tnn Tennessee Legislature baa a props oeition under oonaideration to place the city of Memphis in the bands of a receiv er. It bu already passed a bill to permit the dty to settle its debts at fifty cents on the dollar. Tbb order of B’Nai Britb, established in Charleston in 1867, bu ninety mem bers and a ainking fund of #3,000, and in the put five years hu paid #10,000 in , endowmenta to the families of deceased members, and a goodly sum in weekly benefits. Tub express messenger on the train from Mobile, which arrived at New Or leans Saturday at 10:1C P. H., reports that Lookout Station a man boarded the ex oar and presented a pistol at him. ie messenger made a rush at the man and reoeived a ball in bis band disabling I mont iuilioted merely on the suspioion of him. The highwayman then grabbed a | • deputy marshal, who wielda a little BRVEMDB ABBNTS. Had it not bun for the exertions of Gen. Gordon some six hundred people from North Georgia would be languish ing in'prison on account of inability to pay fines or from ssntenoe. He prevailed on Gen. Grant, while President, to isane an order virtually pardoning, by releas ing those who*would plead guilty to illicit distilling. Gen. Gordon and Gan. Grant are entitled to the whole credit, though Father Taft iuned the order and Farrow telegraphed baok thanks. We do not doubt there hu been a good deal of dis tilling in the mountains in the upper part of the State, and tbia elemenoy will have a salutary effect. The revenue laws ought to be enforoed, but we believe the Deputy United States Marshals vary often ut tyrannical part in making arrests, and take the innocent with the guilty. We have very little oonfldenoe in the jus tice or moderation of thau Backed by a file of soldiers, they make arrests indiscriminately and not un. frequently brutally. They care nothing about warrants, seize men who offer no resistance, manaole them or put them un der clou guard, return and tell a cock and bull story about the hazards they had undergone, the dangers they dared, and how brave and intrepid they were in the midst of peril, and magnify themselves into heroes. This is furnished the re porters who do it up in the but style of the art, and the impreuion is produced that the parties in custody are desperate villains and the marshals the flower of “derring do.” The men are tried, nothing is proved against them, but the effect hu bun produced and they are bad men, When Lieut. Molntyre wu killed the Deputy Marshals ran like a paok of soared speep, and did not go to the rescue of their comrade until they had secured the aid of troops. The other day they told a long story about their capturing an “outlaw,” whom they oalled by other names. He wu quietly asleep in his bed at his own honse, and he uys they could have taken him at any time in the last year had they desired, and he would have quietly surrendered u he did when they came after him. One oause of those peo ple remaining hid out, when they are suspected is that they are poor, and when the officers come, simply suspioion they are dragged from tbelr homes and lodged in jail, where they lan guish for months before a trial is seoured. Most of them are illy educated, ignorant of the uugu of law, and have no friends of means to give bond for their appear- auoe. Is it any wonder that many hate the Government and oare not whether they keep the laws or not? They find not jnstioe tempered with mercy, but the oruel relentless punishment of imprison 1 UDOBUU'i PBIIB. •coo package, leaped from the oar and escaped. It seems inoredible, bnt it iB actually a fact, that the 1‘ennsylvania Supreme Court denied the appeal of a man con demned to death, upon the ground that he wu too poor to have tho papers in his cue printed, u the rule of the Court re quires. ltather than remit a rule made for their own oonvenienoe, the Judges therefore deoided that a man pouibly innocent should be denied the benefit of an appeal, and hanged. A tbaoidi of a singular nature is re ported from Coal Bun, Ohio. The yonng men or the publio school at that plane were preparing for an exhibition, and had nnder rehearsal uuriginal drama for the oecuion. To effect more im pressive upon audience, revolv ers and Bowie-kWes were introduced. In one portion of the play a young man named Mason wu to reoeive a dagger thrust from Hlephen Bumble. A sack of redjiquid wu concealed under his clothes, and a wooden breastplate wsb to protect him from the blow. But in the exoites ment of rehearul the breuplate ohanged position, and the dagger went to Mason's heart. He died instantly. Mason and Bumble were fut friends, and members of the same ohuroh. Opinion op Gov. Hikobioks.—Ex-Gov. Hendrieks, while on his way to Oalifor- nia, stopped in Omaha a few days. He refused any formal interview, but talked unreservedly of publio affairs. Tho Oma ha Herald reports him u “defending Mr. Tilden from the auaults that bu been made upon him by a certain olaas of the disappointed Democracy and Democratic newspapers. Mr. Hendrioka thought if Tilden had bun inaugu- rated not a newspaper nor a politician of his party wonld have lifted up its voioe againat him. Oox and Knott and Blackburn and Springer and all the others would have been found thankful for the bone of patronage that wu bestowed upon them. He thought by 1880 their tunes will have changed again if Mr. Tilden wonld consent to be a oaudidatetfor a second time. Mr. Hens dricks dismissed the present upeot .of the Presidential question, and trusted that the administration of Hayes would be such that no one could oomplain. brief authority. Many innoeent parties no doubt plead guilty at Atlanta to escape confinement. We believe the late polioy of olemenoy will effeat good, and the later orders will check them petty officers. We have seen and known something of their petty ty ranny in this and neighboring aeotions several years ago,and what we have read of their aoliona in North Georgia, hu not produced a better imprusion. Their supereminent valor is exceedingly ques tionable when they have not troops at their beok and call. Their aooounts dif fer widely from thoso of the friends of those in custody. Them revenue officials should be made to observe laws like oth- or officers, and be required to have war rants, and be prosecuted when they over step the boundaries of legitimate author ity. The people released owe their thanks to Gen. Gordon first, then to ex-President Grant, and then to no human being for the amnesty extended. imvkakd BKVOL.V Mb. Biooabd Grant White in a reoent magazine article goes into an elaborate discussion of the question whether Amer- ioao men and women are inferior in phy sisal beauty to English men and women, and renehea the conclusion that they are not.

He hu in his fortress, misnam ed State oapitol, congregated an assem blage of five hundred ignorant eonntry negroes, attracted by the desire to get paid for doing nothing. Inflamed by driuk they will become a set of feroolous brutes, ready for any deed of crime. This collection shows up Packard in his true light. He dmires personal aggran dizement at any cost, oareleea how many lives are sacrificed provided his own pre- cionse carcass is not exposed. If a strife does come, provoked u it will be by a di rect attack from his forces, their rallying cry will be blood and booty. Ths whites will not permit a crowd like Packard’s gang to ride rough shod over the oity insult ing ladies and robbing, but will welcome them to“hoopiUbIe graves." Weoanhard ly believe an utlve eontest will be inaugu rated. If it is, on Packard will rest the entire responsibility, and probably his own head will pay the forfeit. It is said “His Frandulenoy” beoame quite indig nant when Packard's position wu reported to him, but we have become wearied of hearing words attributed to Bradley’s man. We want of to read an action, giving some definite oaiue for the trust that his poli oy will be pacific. The but information we have received yet is the fact that Packard’s reoruiting offloer had been arrested by Nioholl’s polioe. That means buaineu. It signifies that no snob folly u this is to be permitted. It is a precau tion for safety. The tax payers of the State are manfully supporting NioholU with their influence COBBKiPONIWBfOE BETWEEN OOYEBMOB HUB BAUD AND GOTTEN OB COLQUITT ABOUT THE obbtHbrial bsnnbb. The following correspondence explains itself: AusnB, Tex., Feb. 12, 1877. Hit Emoellency A. //. Colquitt, Governor of Georgia, Atlanta Oa. : Sir—The Demooretio party of Texu, in 1876, offered a centennial banner to the State giving the largest majority for the Democratic tioket in the late Pruidential election. The movement wu inaugurated by the Democratic clubs of the city of Dallas, and successfully completed mainly by their energy and generous contribu tions. In the State canvass of February, 1876, Tsxm gave a dear Democratic majority of one hundred and three thousand votes ovor the Kepnbliean candidates. This wu an increue of more than fifty thouund majority over the vote of 1873-74. It will not, therefore, be denied—permit me, in all frankness, to uy—that in offering this splended prize to be contested for by the States, Texu had not the most remote expectation that other than her own bands would bear off this trophy from the field of valor. Her majority in the recent con test wu precisely sixty thousand: bnt in tho presence of your eighty-six thousand majority of Democratic votes Bhe bows with uncovered head and a heart full of pride, love and honor—tenders to the Dc» mocraoy of Georgia this banner, whioh she hu so nobly won. This pleaunt duty, by unanimous oon. sent, bu been oonflded to the Hon. James B. Simpson, of Dallas, Texu, the editor of one of our leading Demooretio daily journals, distinguished in our legislative oounoils alike for statesmanship, elo quence, and a fearless advocacy of the of the right. Tqhis bands, I am reques ted to say the Demooraoy of Texu intrusts this flag to be borne to your distant capi tal, and there presented, in their name, to the State whioh, in the Oentenial year, gavo the largest majority of any Amerioan commonwealth to Tilden and Hendrioks, representing, as they did, opposition to tyranny and a noble devotion to constitu tional liberty, u banded dgwn to us from the farthers of the Bepublio. Four years hence Texu expects to win this bannebhaok and restore it to the hands which now so freely part with the prize. Iam, sir, very respectfully and truly, B. B. Hubbabd. oov. Colquitt's bbflt. Atlanta, Ga., March 6, 1877. Hit Excellency, if. B. Hubbard, Governor of Texae: Bir—I am in reoeipt of your letter Of the 13th of February,and also a note from the Hon. James B. Simpson, both of whioh accompany the magnificent prize banner awarded by the State of Texu to the State of Georgia, u “the State giving the largest majority for the Democratic tioket in the late Presidential eleation.” This banner, both In design and execu tion, hu been pronounoed by our entire oommunity, u altogether unmatched by any of the kind whioh hu beefl seen in the South. Artistioally, it refleota the highest credit upon the exquisite tute of its designers, and as a memorial of a marked event in Georgia’s history, and u reminder of a momentous epoch in the history of the country, it will long be an object of interest from these impressive associations. If the times were more suspicions for an exohange of pleasantries, Georgia might remind Taxu that the race is some times most nnexpeotedly lost by the swift, and that the best auured bouters are the ones who take off the harness, and not the one who is just patting it on. But we are admonished by events of very re cent occurrences, that neither swiftness nor strength may avail in a eontest with fraud; and that this brilliant gem of a banner, whioh it wu fondly hoped would be the memento of a grand and saving triumph of freedom, may prove at last but a sad remembrancer of her diautrous defeat and overthrow. Let ns, however, imitate the hopeful ness and patriotism of the Homans, whom motto wu, “Never dupair of the Hepub- lio.” In this spirit Georgia acoepts the challenge of your noble yonng common- wraith, andjwill see to it, if in the future Texas meansto marshal by her “bugle blaBt” a greater or a readier host than Georgia, when the Demooraoy calls to the resoue, that she shall be forced to do her best. We warn you now to begin in time and bend to the work. But in advance we notify you that should we be fairly beaten we will yield only with that proud submtmion whioh ths pareht evinces when the child, full of promise is the viotor over her. We love to oherish with you, u a com mon property, the fame of Lamar and Fannin, and the host of other Georgians who laid down their lives for the strug gling fortunes of the “Lone Star.” Long may Georgia and Texas continue a gener ous emulation for the maiutainauce of constitutional government and liborty through Democratic interpretations and organization. Permit me to add that the pleasure we experience in the reception of the “oen- tenuial banner” wonld have been en hanced oould we have reoeived it from the hands of the distinguished son of Texas to whom the offloe of presentation had been delegated. In the name and behalf of the Demoo raoy of Georgia, I accept the onstody of this beauttfui banner, with tho most fer vent reciprocation of all good wishes for the suoeeM of the great Democratic party of Texu. With sentiments of great re spect, I am, sir, yonr obedient servant, Alfbed H. Colquitt. Tke taat er Old Seek. Uorretpoodsnot of the OfiMahatfEaqalrer.] WasuiNoton, March IS.—I am sorry to observe that all my old Material out of whioh I have extracted ao muoh fnn is passing away. The last, but not the ieut, is my jolly old friend, Each Chans dler. It is difficult to make the world be lieve that muoh that I have written of Zaoh is—well, I won't aay sober faot, for Zsoh is seldom sober, but the fun is always based on faot. He is big, good-natured, awkward, jolly old fellow, with more natural ability than education, and more force of character than either. He is quite round-shoul dered, and rolls u be walks, u if he were encountering head-aeu or wu, u be gen erally is, half-seu over. He is a kind- hearted man—gives away a good deal, both from a charitable disposition and to gratify his whims. But, my soul! how ignorant the old animal is. Here is an illustration, and it is historical: One day previous to the late civil war Senator Benjamin wu addressing the Senate, and had oocuion to read from Burke. Zaohariah listened, and u the Senator replaced ths volume the learned law-maker, seleoted by Michigan to repre sent that State in the Senate, uked the eloquent, little Hebrew the author's name. “Burke,” responded Benjamin. “How ?" again demanded Zaohariah. “I read from Burke,” wu the response. “I’d like to know what Burke." “Certainly,” quietly responded the eloquent little Creole; “I have read from Edmund Burke.” “Mr. President,” roared Zaohariah, “I deny it in toto. It Is a forgery, sir, a base forgery, sir.” By this time two or three of the Miohi- gander’s friends were lagging at his ooat- tails, and informing him in an Undertone that he wu making a fool of himself; but Zaohariah continued: “Let me alone, will you ? I know what I am about, and I repeat it. It's a vile forgery—I have known Fdmund Burke since his youth, and he never did—he never oould have uttered suoh sentiments.” By this time the faot dawned upon Sen ator Benjamin, and he said, with one of his angelic smiles for whioh he wu fa mous, “I refer the honorable Senator to the volume of a work with which doubt- lew be la familiar to prove that I have read oorreetly." “No, sir; no, sir—no!” responded the Miohigan Solon; “I tell the Senator to his faoe that it is a forgery, and he knows it. He shall not shoulder such infernal stuff on my old friend. He is absent, sir, but bis reputation is here in uy keeping!” “Why, man alive,” said a political friend in a low tone, “he is quoting from the great English orator, Edmund Burke.” How?” asked Zich, craning his neck with band to ear. “Why, he ia reading from Edmund Burke, of England.” Chandler took. "Mr. President,” he cried, “I beg the gentleman’s pardon, I am told he is read ing from a bloody Britisher, and not from my old friend Edmund Burke, of New Hampshire. I never heard of his Ed mund Burke, and don’t want to hear. I hate the whole lot of them.” And Zaohariah snbaided. Well oan one say in the language of the old diplomate, “Come hither, my son, and see by what fools the world is gov erned.” We would well wish to show that son the great Michigander, also John Sherman, Secretary of the Treuury, late ohairman of the Committee on Finance in the Senate, who, from his place said he could not see the difference between a tariff for revenue and one for protection, and hu been in favor of paying the bonds in greenbacks and against paying them in greenbacks—has expressed from two to four opinions on every question without any sense of information in any one of them. D. P. Haw as one who speaks with authority. He holds that the race here has not degener ated; that on the whole our women are psattier than the English, and our men rather more robust and teller, though not ao well set up. Middle -aged English men and women grow fatter than ours, but that is because they get away with so much beer. Really, however, there ia not much difference between the two people as to their looks. Mr. White, however, who is a tall man, rays he can look over the heads of an English crowd more easily thaw ever tboae of an Amerioan one. He ie right about there not being any physi cal degeneracy in the United States. The human breed is aa vigorous here aa any where eiae in the world. It is interesting to hear as to this matter from ao eminent Amdeveeaivllle Jim wte ■wnelclaed. George Alfred Townsend, In Cincinnati Kn quirer Did you ever hear a cry, suoh as Blaine raised, eubside so quick? It was like a conspirator raising only onoe the shout, “Down with the King!” and then sinking back in the crowd, indistinguishable. I said I aooused Blaine of no speoial injury, but of general ominouB influence. I do not acouse him. He made his noriety by orying Andersonville at Ben Hill and others. It waa a mean cry, raised eleven years after the war. That taunt—it was nothing else—almost made Blaine Presi dent. He barely lost his point. As he was sick during the convention, Hayes telegraphed him pityingly, and got the suspicion of all the other defeated can didates for doing so. But Mr. Blaine never put that to Hayes’ credit. He said to himself: “There’s a green young man coming to Washington. I shan’t help him to be oounted in, unless I have to, for it’s my interest to let the Demo crats get the Government and be the David to attack them. Then I'll be nominated in 1880, and every covetous interest will sway votes for me on the other side. But if Hayes does get in and try to be a Christian, I'll mount the wall and break his administration down. He mounted the wall the first day. He was bold as a peacock, and his voioe soared mules. “Oh, get down, Ander sonville Jim!” said publio opinion. There wasn't an echo. He got down. He folded that tail up in his voioe and said: “This Senate is a jailyard for me. I reach it just at the moment it is demor alized.” eted in #19,400 and the largest payers are having their bills made out. The war rants of the Nioholls government on Fri day were quoted at 65 eenta.

WHAT PINCHBACK BATH OF LOUISIANA. In an interview with a correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette at Columbus, Ohio, Finchbaok reduced the Louisiana question to very simple proportions when he said : “Accept tho inevitable, grace fully if you can, but you must make the best- terms you can. It comes to just thiB: . The white Democrats can govern Louisiana, the Republi can oan't without military assistance, and some sort of government we must have. That’s all there ia in it. The Republicans have the right on their side, the Democrats have the power. If there waa any hope of onr being held up, I should say stick, but everybody can see there isn’t. A military government would be best for the 8tato, really best for all parties, but that we can’t have. The nearest to it will be Nioholls’ government. There are now 5,000 well armed men in New Orleans, the flower of ths Oonfed- ate army, well armed and splendidly drilled to support Nioholls. Just let the President withdraw the troops, and in fif teen minutes all the present Packard Legislature will scamper over to the Nioholls Legislature. Nobody doubts but it will then be legal, and it will at once reoognize Nioholls. That settles it at onoe. My hope, then, ia that the rul ing olaas, weary of strife, will make peace with their neighbors, and have no induce ment to- oosnmit outrages. Rather an awkward fix, I mast admit; but as for me I see no other hope." Five New Jerk bankers committed aui- oid« during MtUat yutr. tlM *r ApHlutlMB here to offtoe. Special Dispatch to ths Cincinnati Gasette. Washington, March 14.—A large num ber of colored men, representing a num ber of States, railed upon the President to-day and urged him to appoint Prof. John M. Langston, of Washington, com missioner of agriculture. The delegation was headed by John T. Quarles, who made a short speech in advocacy of the alaims of oolored men to be represented in offi cial station under the Government. Quarles handed the Preaident a large bun dle of recommendations of Prof. Langs ton, including a number of letters from prominent members of Congress,from all the bishops of the African Methodist ehurob, from citizens, white and colored, of nearly every state in the union. The President said in reply that it was his intention to ap point Fredrick Douglass and Prof. Langs- ton to Important sod reaponsibls positions at an esrly day. He should probably ap point Mr. Douglass flrat, on aeoount of his greater age and of his having former ly been a slave, considering him of the two, the moat prominent Republican of the oolored race, but that he had equally made up his mind with reference to Prof. Langston. As to the particular position whioh the delegation requested might be given to Prof. Langston, the Preaident said he oould not say what he should do, because he bad not yet had time to look into the matter, and was not certain whether it was desirable that the present iucumbent be continued in offloe. Judge Gildbbslesvb's Ookundbuh.— James Eokler was arraigned for sentence in the General Hessians yesterday. He oonfeaaed that he had stolen spoons. Judge Gildersleeve looked at him with exceeding dignity and, said, “Yon plead guilty to stealing spoons ?” “Yea, air,” was the reply. “Did you belong to Bauer's army?" “No, elr." “The sentence of the court hi that you be confined in the State prison for the term of two yearn.”—He* fori Sun.
