The primary question which will pre

rate be? Oar present silver coinage ia

To-day THsCoaannjrioa enters upon
its eleventh year, and the fact may be
emphasised by at least a brief end pass
lug allusion. It is perhaps unnecessary
even to do this save for the purpose of
placing it among the memoranda of
daily journal’s history. The
years covered by the files of The Oon
etitution hsve been msrked by some
of the most momentous eveuts in
American history. Vast changes have
taken place in our politics, and the in-
duetrial system of the sooth has been
practically revolutionised. We have all
passed from the smoking hills
of War through the dreary
and onpictureaque Vale
Reconstruction, and somehow or other
we seem to be on the road to prosper
Ity. Looking hack over the pest—the
past of TnaUoiisTmrnoii as well as the.
past of the country—it ia almost impos
sible to adequately realise the nature
and extant of the troubles that beset
and hedged us in on every side. We
find, however, that the paper has been
a faithful chronicler of events as well
as a thoughtful forecaster of results. It
lisa led in the enterprise that has
brought Georgia journalism up to its
present high etandard, and has taken
a conspicuous pert in every die
cusalon relating to the political,
social, or industrial interests ol
Georgia and the south. It
needless to make any promises.
Years am behind us and the future
before us. We shall make all endeavor
to keep The Conetrrtrnox where en
terpriee, the warm support of the peo
pie and the encomiums of the pn
have placed it—in the lead of southern
journalism.

now an assured fact, the prophecies
the gold bugs to the contrary not
withstanding. The third section ol the
sliver bill directed the preeident to in

anion and such other European nations
aa he might deem advisable, “to join
the United States in n conference
adopt a common ratio between gold and
silver for the purpose of - stablishing
internationally the use of a bi-metallic
money.'* The governments of Rossis,
Trance, Italy, Hungary, Holland
Bwitseriand and Greece have accepted
the invitation, leaving only England
■ and Germany to hear from. This
salt ensures the holding of the confer
ence, and renders it certain that it -will
be an important assemblage. Under
the terms of the silver bill the confer
ence must be held within the next
three months, and the preeident has
already named as commissioners on the
part of the government, ex-Senator
Reuben E. Fenton, Hrn. Win. 8
Groe.beck of Cincinnati, and Prof'
Fraids A. Walker, of Yale college.
Theee gentlemen will constitute a com
jetent and creditable commission. The
piece of meeting has not been deter
mined npon, but it will probably be
Paris, because the selection of that city
would doubtless meet the wishes
our commissioners. They are entitled
!,500 and their expenses, and
'no prohibition os to visit
ing the exposition occasionally.
It ia believed by imany that if the
oonlerenc* can agree on a ratio be
tween silver and gold, founded
their proepective value, that both
England and Germany will join the
league. The English cabinet ia now
divided ost the subject. Silver is the
money of India and must continue
be so. Ergland ia therefore standing
in her own light when by the one of
single standard, she depresses the cur
rency of her chief colony. With the
balance of trade ia our favor, too, she
will be compelled to pay for our pro
ducts la gold or in silver at its bultioc
value in gold. These facts may lead
her after a while to seek an interna
tional standard of value. In Germany
th* people are beginning to wake up
the fact that the terrible hard times
which they are experiencing may
dne in good part to the demons!iiAlton
of diver. They find the prices

ver is withdrawn. Gold doe. not

erally. A popular demand for the re
monetisation of stiver is thought to be
imminent—a movement very similar to
the one that this country has jus; «x-
MB. Bails'a in lb.
The democratic house by the strong
vote of 234 to 14 has taken the wind
completely out of the sails of the rovo
ution ahrieken. The demagogical re
publican party and the timid lew of tte
demosratic party who see revolution in
the dim distance, ere alike stranded by
this authoritative and unqualified dec
laration of the house. It ia in every
respect wise end eatiaftclory. It ef
fectually disposes of a loug-vexed ques
tion, and dismisses the leant of several
well meaning but easily-distressed peo
ple.
The (object came up in the' bouse
on an almost unanimous report from
he judiciary committee against the
Kimmell-Blair bill to give the United
.States supreme court power to try Mr.
Hayes’s title. Only the cranky Mr.
Proctor Knott dissented. The mr jtri-
ty report was drawn by Mr. Hartridge.
It declares in substance that the forty-
fourth congress was the properly con'
ititoted body to count the votes caa:
in the presidential elrction of 1876 and
to declare the result; that no aubse
quent congress baa power to reverse lta
action, and that congress cannot coo
ler powers upon the supreme coart or
any other tribunal to reopen the ques
tions thus determined. It however
takes the ground that all matters of &1
ledged trend should be thoroughly in
vestigated, so that wrong doers may be
expoaed to public reprobation and the
truth of hieiory vindicated. The wis
dom and sincerity of this report
evinced in the fact that Mr. McMahon,
who ia condacting the Potter investi
gation and who undoubtedly knows
better than any other man what facta
it wi'l be able to elicit, signed and hear
tily approves it.
This timely and judicious action
the boose puts a quietus both on Mr.
Montgomery Blair and the organa of
the radical party. It also disposes of
Mr. Key’s big moonshine sensation
The organs will have to hunt up a new
campaign humbug; for the Mexican
one cannot stand up in the lave ol an
almost unanimous vote of the house.
It matters very little what the new
ghost may be, now that the investiga
ting committee are free to delve lor the
bottom facta of the electoral villainy,
and the democratic party ia in a posi
tion to reap all the advantages that will
naturally flow from the damaging reve
lations of fraud, perjury and forgery in
the presidential coant. This is exactly
aa it shonkl be.

The plenipotentiaries ol the great
congress were chiefly engaged during
the put week in arriving at Berlin, in
dining and wining after their arrival,
and in the making of calls that ceremo
oydemaods. All that hu been got along
with, and it is believed that the real
buaineas of the congress will begin to
morrow. As the sessions of this great
international body are secret, we shall
not know day by day exactly what
progress ia made, or how certain con
clusions are reached. But since Bis
marck declared at the opening of the
congress that Europe must have
peace, no one hu any fears u
he renewal of war. When Prince
dismarck, Prince Gortschakoff.
Count Andrasey and the Earl of Boa
consfields, the four foremost men of Eu
rope—when they want peace, peace
as good *a secured. Whether it is
lack of money in one country, or a ear
plus of socialists in another, or some
thing else in a third, does not matter
peace is the probable result.
Tbs object of a European congress
hu in fact always been peace. That is
the theory ol theee assemblages, the
powers being the police of Europe.
This police consists of Austria, Ger
many, Russia, Italy, France and Eng
land. Under this plan a matter that
involves common interests must not
be changed without the conunt of all
On this doctrine England stood, and tbs
of San Siefano was opeet
new treaty ia to be made at Berlin by
he six nations; and there are intima
tions that they will conclude to practi
cally divide Turkey amoug themselves,
in order to secure a lasting peace,
ual annexation ie not proposed—at
lsut not at first—but the dodge of pro
isetoratee will be resorted to. Tbs
western provinces will be cared for by
Xuatria; Russia will secure Bulgaria
and a part of Armenia, and England a
protectorate over Aeistic Turkey.
What will oecome of the Greek prov
ince* is not hinted at, nor are there any
intimations of the dividends that the
>ther power* are to receive. This plan
is, however, vague and difficult,
will, during the secreey of the congress,
be followed by others equally daring
and perhaps it would be beat to
await information from official sources.
The Radsiwill palace will be the
centre of European interest for
month to come, and in that time we
win have many rumor*. But in the
end we may be sure of two things—
Turkey will be, st lsut oractically, die-
.nsmbered, and a long peace u to the
•astern question will be planned.
Our senior senator wu on hia feet fre
quently during this day's session. He
made a good figb. in favor of a Hew
Orleans u well as a New York line to
Brazil, and succeeded after a long de
bate in having the subsidy section o
the poet-route bill amended to suit hia
own views. The franking privilege wu
put in the eame bill to the extent of
permitting congressmen to send, but
not to receive,free packages through the
mails not exceeding two ouncee and a
half in weigbt. The final vote on this
proposition was 20 to 19. Messrs. Gor
don and Bill voted in favor of all pro
positions looking to a restoration ol the
franking privilege.
In the senate, on Thursday ol last
week, the bill for the relief of J. H.
Duncan, postmaster at Elberton, wu
reported without amendment, and the
bill for the relief of John F. Andrews,
postmaster at Washington, wu report
ed adversely. The latter wu, however,
placed on the calendar. On the propo
sition to maintain the army at twenty-
five thousand men General Gordon
voted “aye,” and Mr. Hill “no.'
the house Mr. Blount explained the
general features ol the deficiency bill.
Hia speech wu elaborate and exhau st
ive. He wu frequently interrupted,
but none ol his opponents got any eat-
iafaction, and he succeeded in passing
the bill before the end of the week.
On Friday lut, Mr. Keifer, in the
course of s speech on the post-route
bill, presented a table which showed
that the groea revenue oi the poet of
fice at Savannah during the pas' fiscal
year, wu $35,938; at Atlanta, $35,443.
and at Augusta, $26,290.
Lut Saturday, General Gordon
presented a petition of citizens ol Geor
gia, preying the establishment of
poat-toute from Swainsborougb to Fer
ry’s mills, in Tatnall county. General
Goidon’a resolution calling on the com'
missioner of agriculture for information
relative to Bheep husbandry, wu re
ported back, and agreed to. Mr. Hill
endeavored to have ihe section of the
army bill authorizing the use of the
army u a posse comitatos modified,
bat he did not succeed in convincing
the republican majority of the senate.
Messrs Gordon and Hill both voted to
strike oat the entire section. At Mr.
Stephens's request the claim of Alice
E. DeGroot wu referred to the com
mittee of chums.
Mr. Cook introduced, lut Monday,
bill, and Mr. Stephens two bills, but
none oi the three related to state mat
isrs. When the Atlanta conrt-hoaee
item wu reached in the snndry civi 1
bill, Mr. Candler moved to increase
the amount from $20,000 to $60,000.
He said:

The Vns Wert Accident.
In The Constitution of yesterday
was published a telegram from Cartenville,
giving a short account of an accident on the
Cherokee rsilro d, in which through the giving
sway of a bridge over the Etowah river an en
glue aud six freight cars were precipitated into
he river below, a distance of about twenty-five
eet.
Yesterday we visited the e fflee of General Wm.
MscKat, who is superintendent of the Cherokee
railroad, and procured a fall
ACCOUNT or THE ACCIDENT.
The structure that gave way was a Howe’s
trass bridge of 200 feet in length. The ends of
the bridge on either side rested on stone abut
ments. The bridge was a very old one and it
was the intention of Captain John PosieU,
who has th>
road, to replace it with a
one at an early day. The train which met with
the seddent wu composed of six freight care
heavily loaded, and one passenger car. with
twelve or fifteen passengers; also a cab. in
which were Conductor Ysndevere and his flag
man. When the locomotive had nearly croared
the bridge, polling tbe heavy train after it, the
structure gave way, precipitating the engine
and six freight cars to the river beneath. En
gineer Northern and his fireman were either
thrown from
THE ENGINE OR jJCStPID OCT.
and as good lock woold have it, escaped with
out receiving an irjury. When the train fell in
the platform of the passenger coach was broken
ofl abort at the door ol the car and carried to the
river beneath. The patsmger coach by a
most miraculous escape, was left standing on
the very brink of the bank. Had the coach fal
len in tire probability is that nearly every pas
senger would hsve been kilted, as the coach
would have fallen on the top of the train of care
hfiiow, and would have been broken to pleoea.
As soon at the accident occurred a telegram was
sent to General McRae, who was at Chattanooga,
with Captain John Postell, civil engineer of the
Western and Atlantic railroad, and Mr Martin
Dooly, road master of the s«me road. These of
ficiate came down on the first train from Chat-
tanoora, and
WOkR WAS AT ONCE C3XJt£RCED
on the break. A. largr force of hands were col
lected, and under the supervision of Mr. H. A.
Boiler, the supervisor of the Western and At
lantic railroad, they axe now at work. We
and intend that that th) damage is not
great with the exception of the loos of the
bridge.
A TEXrOAAEY STECCTCEE
will at ocoe be placed in position .so as not to in
terfere with the transfer of freight on the road
Tnis temporary bridge will be completed m.a
few daya. A new bridge will be built at an
early date.
Tala structure will have a rode or wooden
abutment, situated under it midway from either
side. This will make the span only 100 feet,
instead of 200, as heretofore. The freight
tainedln the care will be saved, althcngh i
of it will be seriously damaged by water.
—The difference cf opinion which has existed
in Savannah for the past lew months as to
which is the fastest trotter. Hand or IrishTUirl,
have been settled, as we hear of no discus
sion going on with reference to their trotting
qualities.
—The outlook for some fine racing at Ogle
thorpe park June 18th and lfth-only a few
days off—te very bright. During the past aotk
several new one** hsve arrived, until there are
now quartered at the track, thirteen right good
flyers.
—The Columbus shooting dub was out last af
ternoon, below Reich’s, practicing. Twenty
shots were fired by each member with the fol
lowing reanlt: Bush 14, Brooks 14, Edmunds 12,
Bussey 12, Woolfolk 17, Bruce 15. The distance
from the one shooting to the trap is twenty
yards, and about fifty to the ball when he shoots.
—The Columbus Enquirer publishes the fol
lowing: They had a practice yesterday afternoon
and fired sixteen rounds. Tbe following is the
•core: Bailey 12, H M Howard 8, W A Redd, 6.
Cargill 9, John Leitner 12. Dr Leitner 3, Dews C,
E ipirg 8; total, &9. Spear 12. Dt x'.er 11, Holt 11.
Wynne 4, Shepherd 8, Estes 11, Tom Howard 8,
Epplng 1; total, 66. Dr Leitner only fixed six
times. Mr Epplng shot on either side.
—In addition to the number mentioned
before, we understand that a stable
fine trotters will bo here from
Montgomery and Enfanla. Around the steblts
and at the track every thing ia life, and prcgisra-
tipny are being on all sides to Insure tba
k success. The city will be fillei
strangers during the meeting, and ex^
trains will in all probability be run on t
rious railroads leading into onr dty.
•In addition to these, there are fouraKhi
stables of Mr Redd. Spider reached < his dty
yesterday in charge of Mr McIntosh, who has
also with him Felix, ac other trotter. This
makes a total of seventeen horses now in this
dty in training for this meeting. Mr McIntosh
will take hia horses out to the track to-d .y and
at once commence putting them in order forthe
coming contest. The track Is receiving much
attention and will be placed in fine condition
for trotting. About twenty-five stalls hsve
been arranged and put in order. These will be
placed at the disposal or the owners of the trot
ters, who will sable their animals in them. It
thought that it will take at least this nur-ber
to accommodate the horses that will be here
during the meeting.

BEHIND THE SCENES.
The Manchester C4nardian's London
correspondent mentions the existence
of an Anglo-Tarkish understanding,
which is a kind of supplement to the
Anglo-R-issian agreement. It secures
the paramount influence of England,
not only in Asia-Minor bnt at Constan
tinopie. The Standard in a financial
article to-day, says Lord Salis
bury, before going to Berlin,
consulted with the leading
bankers about the position and capa
bilities of Tnrkey with a view 10 the
establisment of a financial com mi sion
at Constantinople similat to that existt
ine in Egypt. The scheme apparently
receives tbe support of the Vienna and
Barl'in cabinets.
