Several children were feeding a

An ear was drop|a*d out of tlie reach
of tlie bear, and a little girl handed it
to him. Tlie bear sportively pulled
her to him, when a house dog, be
lieving tlie child in danger, sprang
upon tlie bear. Bruin then curried
the child to the further part of tlie
liogsliead in which lie slept and re
turned to light tlie dog, under tlie im
pression that tlie dog would hurt the
child. A party of darkies tried to
protect the child from her other pro
tectors, but tile little one did not es

The attitude of tlie thirteen Demo
crats who, either actively or'passive
ly, op|sised coutlrmatlan was a sur
prise to many persons. To them tlie
President owes his defeat, and their
course is mainly attributable to a feel
ing of disgust and disap|Hiiiitmeiit at
tlie seating of Mr. Kellogg by tin*
votes of tlie Administration Senators.
This act of tin* Administration wus
keenly resented, because It wus gen
erally said among tlie Democrats, on
tlie President’s own theory, the ad
mission of Mr. Kellogg was a gross
and deliberate wrong, and, those who
suffered it to be done, when they
could and ought to have prevented it,
lost their sympathy.
The Government lias the advant
age over the Indians in more ways
than one. Having their funds in
possession, it can recover damage*
without any trouble. A Dill was
passed by* tlie House last week to pay
five thousand dollars out of the an
nuities due the Cheyennes for tlie
support of Catherine and (Sophia Ger
main. who were captured by these
lndiuns in 1874, while going from
Georgia to Colorado, and afterward
recovered by tlie government. Their
and mother were massuered The
Secretary of tlie Interior will reserve
tlie live thousand dollars out of tlie
money due the Cheyennes, so they
will be short when settlement day
comes along. An effort was made
last year to secure this money for
the girls.
A Wholesome Effect—It is
thought proluible that tlie persona
who preside over New York life in
surance companies will next month
present annual statements u|>on
which tlie public may rely with con
fidence on the conviction of
Pressdent Case for forgery, which
is likely to be followed by tlie
conviction of President Lambert,
who is now on trial for the same of
fense, may lx* expected to have a
wholesome effect, and to induce of
ficers of corporations to aseertuln for
themselves whether the figures of
their subordinates an* false or true.

SENATOR SI. C. HI TLER.
General M. (’. Butler was serenaded
in Columbia, South Carolina, on
Wednesday night, and in reply com
passed in a short address much that
should be heeded, and some tilings
of whicli we were not previously
aware. General Butler utterly dis
countenanced tlie idea’of the forma,
tion of a new isirty, and condemned
those candidates who ran against
regular nominees. Now let us say in
advance, we do not regard the races
we have had in our county or district
as classed among tlie independent
movements which are censured in
ull quarters. Democrats were
not divided. General Butler thinks
it utter folly for the South to talk of
new formations in politics when vic
tory so near promises so surely for
Democracy. We really think there
is no fear to be entertained of such a
result, for all can see tlie necessity of
liurmony and union. In 188(1, at
least, tlie South will lie solid for
Democracy.
Gen. Butler clearly states that Mr.
Hayes and the Administration sought
and latiorcd for the admission of Cor
bin as Senator from South Carolina.
Tlie vote of Stanley Matthews and
others show it. This gives an excuse
wliy so many Democratic Senators
were passive in tlie fight between Mr.
Hayes and Conkling, and why four
of them voted witli tlie intter. Tlie
dr facto President and his advisers
took tlie same stand with regurd to
Kellogg. What reason, however,
could have been strong enough to in
duce Southern Senators to sustain tlie
most bitter, arrogant and insulting
foe their section ever had, we are
utterly unable to comprehend.
True, Corbin hud no shadow of law
nor right on his side in the contest,
“but,” says General Butler, “does a
desperate Radical majority, dwindling
day by day out of existence, stop to
consider questions of law or right ?
Was there any law for the admission
of Kellogg from Louisiana? It was
a tlugrant outrage on Hint gallant sis
ter State of ours. There was no law
for thut, and none to seat Corbin; but
I tell you I know whereof I speak
when r say that tlie Radical majority
of tin* Henute laid determined to seut
Corbin, and I now suy with regret
and reluctance thut tlie man, whom
I think 1 am not stigmatizing too
severely when I say that lie procured
his present position through fraudu
lent methods, threw tlie entire weight
of Ids Administration, bucked by ins
friends, to perpetuate this outrage on
South Carolina, and scat tills man
Corbin.”
Gen. Butler alluded to tin* persistent
calumnies and insults witli which lie
hud been assailed by Radical (Senators,
such us Hoar, of Massachusetts. He
submitted because lie felt that tlie
interests and rights of the people
of (South Carolina were at stake,
but he utters unmistakable notes
of warning to tlie effect that,
now that tlie contest Is over
and lie is in ids seat, lie will
bear them no longer. "Willie,” says
lie, "I have determined not to In*
betrayed into personal recrimination
against tlie men, Senators of tlie
United States, who have cowardly
attacked me when I was disarmed
and unable to defend myself, now that
1 am their i>eer upon tlie floor of tlie
Senate I hope they will not repeat it.
If they do repeat it, take my word for
it, I will give them as good as the//
send."

Ill this issue we supplement tlie
brief rejHirt of the Southern press
agent witli all we can glean on the
subject. All tlie accounts show that
Gen. Gordon acts witli that‘dignity,
courtesy and true courage that lias
hnraoterized ills life. He simply re
pelled tlie insolence mid arrogant
impertinence of the blustering bully
of New York, and refused to bandy
words in tin* Senate chamber. His
conduct meets tlie approval of ull ex
cept some parties, perhaps, in Atlan
ta, who desire to defeat his re-elec
tion, but their effort will prove una
vailing. As lias been stated tlie
mutter lias been settled. The resolu
tions adopted by tin* Senate have
liet*n published. They merely stute
the “misunderstandings” liuve been
explained and arranged satisfactorily
to |iarties and Senate. The high es
teem and admiration felt in the South
for Gen. Gordon has been increased,
if such an eflfcct be possible, by this
atliiir. He maintained Ids own dig
nity while upholding (lie honor of
ids State.
Mr. Conkling is working hard for
tlie Republican nomination for Presi
dent. He is adopting tin* violent
tactics of Blaine, and a more intenser
animosity than Morton. He hopes
to reach the White House with his
jieucock strut by endeavoring to re
awaken tlie bitterness of sectional
bates. He would dig up tin* bloody
shirt and llaunt it if Ids legs were not
so long that he would cut a pitiable
sight as u "rag toter.”
Long Bonus For Savings.-^The
Senate Finance Committee have con
sidered favorably, and will nqiort tlie
Hill of Mr. Wallace, of Pennsylvania,
to authorize a long bond for invest
ment of savings. The bill provides
that in lieu of the 4 per cent, bonds
authorized by act of July 14, 1870, the
Secretary of the Treasury may issue
$100,000,000 coujion bonds of denomi
nation of $25, $50 and $100, redeem
able in coin in sixty years from date,
bearing4 percent, interest, payable
semi-annually,and exempt from taxa
tion. These coupon bonds are to lie
made pnyable to tlie onler of iiersons
who shall pay money for them, and
are to lie transferable only by assign
ment. The coupons are to be paya
ble in United States legal tender
notes, or coin, at tlie option of tlie
United Htates. All national lianks
are made money depositors for the
payment of these coupous, uml are
required to pay them uiion production
of tlie bonus to widen tlie coupons
laid been attached. Tlie bonds are
to lie sold for coin or legnl tender
notes at tlie rate at which they may
stand in the market. An amend
ment will be offered to tills bill in tlie
Henate, providing that they eun be

To the Chamber of Commerce, Nash

Gentlemen—1 herewith transmit
tlie copy of a note from Hon. L. Q. C.
Lamar to Hon. John B. Gordon,
which explains itself. I agree with
Col. Lamar in the opinion that the
interests of the South can be greatly
promoted by sending a proper special
commissioner to Europe, who
is identified and familiar with
these interests, and who eun
make tlie various resources of
tin* Houtli thoroughly and well under
stood. General John B. Gordon, of
Georgia, is willing to accept tills mis
sion ut tlie liunds of the boards of
trade and business men of tlie Soutli
if they desire it, and to enter upon its
duties in the coming spring or early
summer; and I hazard nothing in
saying that the interests of the Houtli
will he ably represented by him. in
tlie event of his election. He wishes
no compensation, hut if this duty is
assigned him by. the various boards
of trade of tlie Hohtli. they must as
sess themselves to the extent of rais
ing an ample fund to defray expenses.
I submit the mutter to your consid
eration, and such action ns you may

SENATOR LAMAR’S LETTER.
Will Aim’s Hotel, Nov. 11.
My Dear General :
1 have culled here to see you about
a mutter of some importance to our
people. I intended to talk it over,
and as you are not ut home I leave
tills memorandum on your table, so
thut you muy give it some thought
before 1 shall give you tlie talk. A
very intelligent traveler, one who
lias" occupied very conspicuous posi-
tioiis abroad, Iiuh just urged upon me
tlie importance of liuvlng in Europe
a distinguished mun in the interests
of our cotton relations there. He
says what we have frequently heard,
that European cnpitnl (sick of North
ern and Western investments in
mines anil railroads) Ih looking South
ward, and that attention is being di
rected more especially to investments
of cotton-spinning. Tlie great draw
back Is our political perturbations and
the supposed liability of our Southern
communities to arbitrary interference
of Federal authority. The benignant
and Just “Policy" of tho President is
very reassuring to those apprelien
sions, and u public man from the
Houtli, connected witli Southern poli
ties, could, If lie were accredited by
tlie proper business men of tlie Houtli,
by going to Europe and making tlie
proper efforts, give a great impetus to
tlie tendency above alluded to. He
was so complimentary us to suggest
thut 1 go in Unit capacity. But 1
happen to know thut 1 am not the
man. While in Europe I was con
sulted every day by Mason, Slidell,
and our fiiiunciul agents in London
mid Paris. Tlie greatest obstacle in tlie
way of tlie linancial recognition of
our Confederacy was tlie fact that our
President was from Mississippi, to
which tlie odium of repudiation was
attached. I remember the chief man
on ’Change told Mr. Mason; “Sir, you
cannot float your loan unless your Con
federacy disavows the repudiation of
Mississippi.” Now, if 1 were to go
there, my time would be more occu
pied in explaining tills matter of re
pudiation than in pushing tlie enter
prise. Why not you go ? You are
the very man. You can enter upon
it witli energy and enthusiasm; and
then you come from a State which
lias a line credit, and is already (out
side of New England) the third State
of the Union in tlie number of its
luanufnetorles, and perhaps tlie most
K *rous of any State in the Union
condition of its manufacturing
interests. Think of tills thing, uml
write to some of your friends in Col
umbus, Augusta, Savannah, Macon,
and Atlanta. I lnvve friends in Mis
sissippi to whom 1 will recommend
you, and I can, through Trescot, put
you in communication with Charles
ton people. is not Buck, of New
Orleans, a great friend of yours ?

GORDON AND CONKLING.

Courier-Journal.]
Washington, December 13.—Tlie
contest of yesterday in executive ses
sion on tlie New York nominations
is much discussed to-day, and there*
is great regret expressed that any
Democratic Senators should have been
found wiiiing to extend aid ami com
fort to so bitter a reviler and enemy
of tiie (Southern people us ltoscoe
Conkling, and in order to do this eat
tiieir own words against tlie infamous
tenure-of-ofllce law, which all Demo
crats have insisted was unconstitu
tional and revolutionary. Some most
inaccurate statements have been pub-
iished touching tlie action of Sena
tors on these nominations. Fpr in
stance, Beck and Garland are repre
sented as voting witli Conkling, and
Jones (of Florida) ns dodging tlie vote.
Tills Is false. All these gentlemen
voted to confirm tlie nominations,
and are opposed to Conkling. Jones
and Beck justly regurd him us one of
tlie worst and most dangerous men
in public life, and Beck made in the
Democratic caucus a most indignant
speech at tlie very idea of allowing
him tlie mastery of the New York
Custom-house in order to promote ills
re-eiection to the .Senate. A part of
tlie debate was very heated and lier-
sonal. It devolved on (Senator Gor
don, ns a member of the commit
tee on commerce, to defend the
nominations, anil to expose the cor
ruptions of the New York custom
house. In doing this he had a hot
personal encounter, liotli with Conk
ling and Blaine, tlie latter of whom
is seeking to overcome Conkling’s
persistent scorn by zealous service.
Blaine seized upon all allusion of
Gen. Gordon's to the late Howell
Cobb, of Georgia, to make an insolent
and offensive reflection upon his
memory, which was properly re
pelled. ' Conkling said that tlie Hec-
returd of tho Treasury hud refused ull
information to tlie committee in re-
S iect to the causes of the removals.
en. Gordon showed thut tlie .Secre
tary hail not only offered to come be
fore tlie committee, but had also of
fered to supply tlie reports of tlie Jay
commission on tlie New York custom
house abuses, which proved Arthur's
“Inefficiency and extravagance. It is
reported to-day tlie President is Arm,
und will not surrender to Conkling,
but will send in other nominations ut
an early day. It will qamaln to be
seen whether Democratic Senators
will continue to obey Mr. Conkling’s
behests, and regurd the New York
custom house as his own peculiar
property, to be used aS a political
machine. At present Conkling is au
tocrat of the situation.

Washington, December 14.—Sir.
Conkling’s strut and Insolence in the
Henate lias Increased since bis recent
victory on tlie New Y'ork nomina
tions. A sharp altercation occurred
In tlie executive session this afternoon
between ltint and Gen. Gordon, of
Georgia, which muy lead to grave
personal consequences. • The lattei'
.Senator was on the floor, calling for
tlie report which the committee on
Commerce htul directed Mr. Spencer,
of Alabama, to make on the nomina
tion of (Smith as Collector of Mobile,
and which that worthy has Been
endeavoring to suppress, in order to
prevent the ease from coming to a
vote. Conkling came to the rescue
of tils henchman by calling out in
loud und peremptory tones, "Go on
with tlie calendar." Gen. Gordon
rebuked this interruption by remark
ing that “he was glad that the Senate
wus conducting tlie public business,
and that the Senator from New York
had no right to give orders to the
Vice President.” Conkling, affecting
not to hear this remark, rose und
asked the Senator from Georgia what
lie suit!, whereupon General Gordon
repeated his remark. Mr. Conkling
replied that “If the Senator from
Georgia stated that lie was givin;
orders to the Vice President, he state
what was not true." General Gordon
at once re-stated what he had said,
whereupon Mr. Conkling repeated,
again speaking hypothetically, that
“If tlie Senator stated that he had
given orders to the Vice President, he
stated what was not true.”
“Very well,” said Gordon, “we will
settle that.”
“Yes,” said Conkling, “we will
settle here."
“No,” retorted Gordon, with em
phasis, “we will not settle it here.”
The scene was of course highly ex
citing. At a later hour of the day
Judge Tliurmun undertook to play
the part of peace-maker, and made
some remarks assuming that the two
Senators had misunderstood one an
other, and that no personal reflection
was intended by. Mr. Conkling; but
it would seem that this paciflcexplnna-
tion of theutlhirhad not been authoriz
ed by either party,for both parties were
profoundly silent. It is reported to
night thut Mr. Conkling has private
ly stated that he intended no reflec
tion upon General Gordon’s veracity,
hut up to this time the affair Is
unsettled. General Gordon lias re
fused to see reporters who have called
on him, or to furnish any statement on
the subject, but tlie aliove is derived
from authentic sources. It is pretty
certain that Mr. Conkling’s insulting;
tom* toward Democratic (Senators wil .
not be permitted to go on in this case
without a check. General Gordon is
by nature pacific, but is as resolute as
he is uniformly courteous to all per
sons who are gentlemen. There are
reports late to-night, that a message
lias been already sent by General
Gordon to Mr. Conkling, but my in
formation is that this story is prema
ture. The mutter lias, however
passed out of General Gordon’s lutiid
Into that of an experienced friend,
whose character is an abundant guar
antee that Mr. Conkling will soon be
called on to disclaim any puiqiosa of
insult, or to accept the consequence.
HOW IT ORIGINATED.
Washington Special to Cincinnati Enquirer,]
This afternoon, in the executive
session of the Henate, tlie nomination
of one Smith to lie Collector of In
teriuil Revenue at Mobile was readied
Senators Gordon and Hill both plead
ed with the Senate to reject the now
ination, because the nominee had
been one of the most earnest In libel
ing tlie South, and had created In ids
imagination und set forth a iiumbe
of Ku-Klux stories calculated to de
fame tlie citizens in the locality where
he lived. Conkling und Blaine took
up tlie cudgel for tlie nomination,
and Blaine, In reply to the charge of
defamation through Ku-KIux reports,
said that these reports, when Inves
tigated, generally turned out to be
much worse than represented. Gor
don said inasmuch as both Hill and
himself opposed the nomination, and
it was an appointment ill a South
era Stute, the Senate ought to ex
tend to the Southern .Senators the
courtesy of rejecting it. Bluine asked
how it was they now asked a courte
sy which they did not extend to the
Senator from New York in voting;
upon the Nit York apiiotaMOant*
Gordon replied the Senators;from
New York were divided on tn»qiie»*
tion of their confirmation*. and they
could not follow tlie lead of both ;
whereat a number of Republicans
brake out in a laugh. A vote was
taken on tlie nomination under con
sideration, and to the dlsconilltilre of
Hill ami Gordon it was conflowed.
Tlie calendar was then proceeded
With, and another nomination was
taken up. Gordon made an effort to
haven report read which Spencer was
suppressing lienring on tlie case,
when Conkling in ills seat said: “Oh,
go on witli the calendar! ’ ’ Gordon,with
some vehemence of langtiAge, said:
“See tlie New York Senator giving
his orders to the Vice' PTeffldeBt!”
Conkling did not quite catch, the re
mark at first and asked him to repeat
it. "I suid,” retorted Gordon, r ‘see
tlie New York Senator giving his or
ders to the Vice President!” Conk
ling, quite excited, arose in his seat
und said; “If the Senator says I am
giving orders to the Vice President,
he says that which is not true." Thur
man, apprehending a scene, came
forward as a peace-maker, and en
deavored to restrain Gordon from
taking any further notice of
tlie matter. Gordon paid no atten
tion to him, but said, in an ex
cited strain: “Very well: we will
settle that!” Yes,” said Conkling.
“we will settle it here!” “No,” re
plied Gen. Gordon, we will not settle
It here!” Thurman then made a
speech in the effort of conciliation,
and gave both the opportunity to
retreat from their bellicose attitude.
He said no doubt each misunderstood
tlie other^and a satisfactory explana
tion could be reached. Both Gordon
and Conkling listened attentively to
Thurman, but remained quiet,' and
there the matter dropped. Gen. Gor
don to-night has kept closely to his
room at WllHard’a Hotel, and talks
with much reluctance concerning
tlie difficulty. He said late to-night:
"Of course, I cannot tell you what
wus done in executive session. I
don’t like to talk about these personal
matters; but, of course, there is a way
to settle them.” Conkling, too, re
fuses tosay any thing about ^ftematter.
When usked how he would treat a.chal-
U-nge if he received one, he said, with
u sneer: “I will wait till I receive
it.”
Republicans who sympathize witli
Conkling seem pleased (;liat Uip diffi
culty lias come uliout, as it IS hoped
that tlie incident will arouse sectional
feeling in the North and thus help
the dying Republican party to get on
its legs again.
