that passed into Chancery in Eng
land near thirty years ago, have as
sembled in Augusta to hear the re
port of their lawyer, Judge Bacon
of Columbia, S. C., who has been to
iEngland to investigate the matter.
Judge Bacon is quite hopeful of the
success of the claim made by his
clients, nearly a hundred in number
. ■reprepealing the descendants of Win,
Jennings, who died in 1798. The
amount involved has been valued at
various sums from forty to four hun
dred millions of doliars. Judge Ba
con in his address before the claim
ants puts it at 159 millions.
The Atlanta Herahl publishes an
absurd statement concerning Mr.
Stephens, to the effect that when
the Great Commoner was ill at the
National Hotel in Washington, du
ring the winter of 1874, he insisted
on being moved into No. 12, because
that was the room where Daniel
Webster died, and there he (Mi'.
Stephens) wished to die. The effect
of the dramatic picture drawn by
the fertile imagination of the Herald
correspondent is somewhat marred
when it is remembered that Daniel
Webster eied at his home at Marsh
field, where he passed the happiest
days of his life, just as the happiest
days of Mr. Stephens’ life have been
passed at his own loved Liberty
Hall.

shall equal thirty per cent, of
their circulation, which amount of
thirty per cent the banks are to re

What tiie Baptists are Doing.
—ln the Christian Index appears a

secretary, fram which we glean the
following facts: Of 1,000 churches
connected with the association rep
resented in the State convention, 500
have adopted some symternatie
method of collecting funds, while4oo
have contributed something to the
mission and Sunday school work.
Only five associations ignore mis
sions and Sunday schools. $83,000
were contributed for missions, which
includes the State Sunday school
work.
The result of missionary labor for
the year was: baptisms, 8,700;
churches organized, 49; Sunday
schools, 50; evergreen Sunday schools,
390; schools that close part of the
year, 480; new schools organized by
Superintendent Boykin, 227 ; conver
sions in Sunday schools, 040; schol

The Centennial appropriation bill
which went through the lower House
of Congress on Wednesday, did not
pass without a couple of important
amendments. One of them, adopted
upon the motion of Mr. Springer, of
Illinois, deprives the appropriation
of the character of a gift, giving it
the character of a loan, and makes
the United States a preferred credi
tor. In case the enterprise is profita
ble, the entire million and a half is
to be returned to the United States,
before any dividends are paid to the
stockholders.-. The second amend
ment takes the arrangement of the
fund out of the hands of the Phila
delphia people, and places it under
the control of Gen. Hawley, Presi
dent of the Commission, and his Gov
ernment associates, who are requir
ed to give bonds 4n half a million
dollars.
Washington, Jan. 27.—The Dem
ocratic Senators held a caucus to-day
concerning their representation on
the proposed resident Executive
Congressional Committee. The preva
lent oninion expressed was that not
less than six Senators should he
members, so as to equalise the House
representation. As the result of a
long discussion, Senators Stevenson,
Gordon and Wallace were appointed
a committee to confer with Mr. La
mar, chairman, and report to ad
journed meeting.
HON. W. H. FELTON’S SPEECH.
The House had resolved itself into
committee of the whole to consider
the centennial appropriation bill. In
the discussion • of that bill, Mr. Fel
ton said—
Mr. Chairman, I have but a few
minutes to speak on this subject, and
I desire first to say as a Southern
man I am opposed to this bill, but I
am influenced by no vote this House
lias given upon the question of am
nesty. If this House has seen prop
er to perpetuate a wrong, that is no
reason why I should vote against my
convictions. My opposition to this
bill is not opposition to the centen
nial exnibition ; for that exhibition
I wish success. I trust it will lie the
means of sending to the ends of the
earth the story of American genius
and the triumphs of American in
dustry. More particularly, I desire
it may be the means of fraternizing
the too-long estranged sections of our
common country. But when Eu
rope and all the world assemble at
Pniladelphia, I want them to learn
lessons which will be valuable in all
after life.
The gentleman from Maine [Mr.
Frye] on yesterday stated that we
had challenged the world to compete
with us i,• our material industries.
That is rignt. When they come, if
they learn that we make the best
mower and reaper, that we manu
facture the best sewing-machine,
that w 7 e turn out the best plow, that
we’can exhibit the best specimens
of manufactured iron, that we have
the richest and most inexhaustible
resources in the world, mineral, ag
ricultural and commercial —when
they learn all this, As they will, they
will learn that which is valuable to
themselves and to us.
But sir, as they study and profit
by these lessons, 1 want them to learn
another great truth, namely, that
this is the best government the world
ever saw 7 . When Europe, Japan and
China and other nations gather next
summer in the birthplace of Ameri
can freedom, we must teach them
this lesson. I think it is one of the
grand missions of the centennial year
to teach this grand lesson to all Eu
ropean and Asiatic monarchies and
despotisms. They have been reared
up to believe that it is impossible to
carry on any valuable enterprise
without the intervention of the gov
ernment. They have have been in
structed, sir, that the government
must furnish the money for every
interest in which the nation is con
cerned, or which is of interest to its
people. In old Rome if a gladiato
rial show was demanded as a Ro
man holiday, the government ar
ranged the programme and footed
the bills. In Spain, if a bull-fight is
required for Spanish recreation, the
government is the principal stock
holder in the enterprise. The result
of all this is the exaltation of the
government and the political degre-
Uivtion of tiio Now, when
they come to Philadelphia to attend
this iuiernational exhibition, this
centennial report of politcal freedoms
let them learn that here government
is dwarfed, and the people “are all in
all that the intelligence, the
wealth, the industries, and all the
material and intellectual glory of the
nation is deposited with the people.
In my judgement, if you pass this
bill if you associate the Government
pecuniarially with this enterprise,
making it the principal stockholder
you will sacrifice the only distinctive
badge which gives it prominence and
significance as the centennial exhi
bition of a republican Government.
You subordinate the people and their
individual wealth to the wealth and
power of the Federal Government.
You exhibit to all Europe tendencies
to the same centralism under which
they have been trained and by which
they have been crushed.
I am opposed to this appropriation
because it is in direct conflict with
the previous action of the House.
One of the acts of this House was to
pass a resolution declaring it unwise
in the present financial condition of
the country, to vote any appropria
tions of money or lands or bonds in
aid of any private enterprise. Was
that vote mere child’s play ? Was it
intended as a pleasant fraud upon
the tax payers of the country? Or
was it given with a mental reserva
tion in favor of this measure or has
the financial condition of the country
so far improved since that time as to
authorize a liberal departure from its
provisions? We gave that vote in
good faith, and the country received
it as a most auspicious opening of the
Forty fourth Congress. That vote
was a contract between the Repre
sentatives in this House and their
constituents,ratified by universal ap
proval. Shall we break that con
tract tu-drtylf violutwd in one part
it is violated in all its parts, and you
open the doos of this House to every
scheme which seeks partnership with
the national Treasury.
This is a private enterprise,managed
and controlled by private corpora
tors, in the interest of indivual stock
holders and in my judgment we have
no constitutional right to vote the
public funds for such a purpose. lam
no lawyer, but the gentleman from
Pennsylvania [.Mr Cochrane] and
the gentlemen of Virginia [Mr. Tuck
er] yesterday absolutely exhausted the
argument demonstrating the uueon
stitutionality of the bill.
I was amazed, sir, and interested
by the line taken by the gentleman
from Maine, [Mr. Frye.] That gen
tleman seemed to sneer at allusions
made to the Constitution. It was to
him a matter of amusement that
there should be reference to that sa
cred instrument of the Government.
He asserted that it was a cover under
which evrey defeated party was in
ihe habit of taking shelter. 1 know,
sir, that it has been the custom in the
House to sneer at the Constitution as
something obsolete. But, sir, let ine
tell the gentlemen that, while it has
lain there lifeless, bleached like the
dry bones of Ezekiel, the people of
this country have once more breathed
upon those bones, and it will not be
long, sir, until you see bone coming
to hone, until you see sinew and flesh
and skin, and the principle of that
old Constitution shall stand up, a
a living army, to do battle once more
for human freedom. [Applause.]
This money is not intended to de
velop any of the .resources of the
country; is not intended for protec
tion or for relief. The financial strin
gency now felt throughtout the coun
try is unparelled in its history. The
pessure upon labor and all of our
industries is intolerable. Manafaetu
ing establishments are suspended ;
merchants are failing agriculture is
unprofitable; and general bankrupt
cy threatens the land. In the midst
of the universal distress you are ask
ed to vote a million and a half of the
tax payer’s money for a mere exhibi
tion.
But we are told the character of
the nation is involved, and that the
glory of the Republic is to be meas
ured' by the success of this interna
tional exposition. Sir, I trust you
are too well established to be affected
by such cheap displays of our wealth
or such pompous publications of our
“stock in trade.” The glory of this
consists in the freedom of the people
in its adherence of constitutional
prineipes, and in the intelligence,
morality, and material prosperity of
its citizens.

THE DAILY AMERICAN.
Nashville, Tennessee.
THE centralization of power in W Millington,
and the control of currupt combinations
ot the day in the Government at various points
throughout the country to fleece the people of
their hard earnings, has justly excited the pub -
lic. The unexampled policy of par ing billions
of debt in gold, at a period of general -tagua.
tion in business; the disposition manifested,
if not to convert the government into an abso
lute monarchy, to reduce the free people of
America to absolute serfdom; the continual
cry of the tax ga herer; the building up of the
few at the expense of the man.-; the excessive
inequalities of burdens imposed by the Gov
ernment on its own citizens, all of' whom are
entitled to equal privileges; the results of all
these in the general prostration of business af
ford just cause lor alarm. They afford also a
just cause for a demand for a change in the
National administration of public affairs,
it is therefore the duty of the Democracy,
which iu its purity is the representative and
defender of the people, and of the people
themselves who are really the Democracy, to
correct the growing evils which threaten to
overwhelm all in common ruin. There must
be a change ot the National administration
before there is either safety or real reform.
This is the vltalqnestion before the people.
Tue Americas is on the side of the penpia
and ol change. It has its views and expresses
them from day to day, and while doing so
frankly and honestly, it also fairly and as
fully as its space will permit, gives the views
and argumenfc of the other side. It claims
nothing outside of the interests of the people,
and seeks only to inlorm them truthfully of
all matters In which they themselves aro
mostly concerned.
On the eve of the Centennial of the Republic
and of a Presidential campaign ot the greate t
moment to the people, it behooves the Con
servative and Democratic masses of this sec
tion to supply themselves, in time, with polit
ical news, facts anil general political informa
tion tram tiie nearest central distributing
point. The American, issued from the cap
ital of Tennessee, and snpplying as well, mt-.cii
ol the territory ol Kentucky, Georgia and .-Ma
nama, is the-only Daily Democratic journal
published within a radius-of more than a hun
dred and fifty miles in which there are nearly
if not quite a million of people, it tarnishes
to its readers, at heavy expense, the full vol
ume of telegraphic reports of the Western As
sociated Press, including the Congressional
proceedings of the most interesting session for
many years, in which the Democrats, lor the.
first time since the war, have a majority iu the
Lower • louse and nearly half the members of
the senate.
'The season is rapidly approaching and near
at hand when will be discussed political i c sucs
affecting the National, and State elections of
1810. Tiie Presidential election overshadows
all others in its importance at this tune, not to
our section alone, but to friends and defenders
of Republican institutions throughout the
Union. Though times may be ham, the very
occasion of hard times Is traceable to sources
with whiet* the people ought to be acquainted,
and ot which i, is the mission of the Ameri
can to inform them, and we think it is not in
opportune or immodest toa.k the attention of
the masses of the people in its columns, which
will be always lull and reliable. The sugges
tion to Democrat -and Conservatives of Tennes
see and States adjacent, to help extend it- cir
culation and enlarge its sphere oi usefulness,
is the more confidently made in view of tlio
very grave political and financial questions
which are now agitating the public mind, and
which will enter largely into the approaching
Presidential canvas.-, and perhaps determine
the character of the Government itselt in the
future. The American has tindcviutingly
stood forth in defense of the Constitution, of
the rights of the State-, and of individual lib
erty. Now, when all these are assailed by a
powerful and corrupt centralized administra
tion, it pledges ii-elt anew to devote all its
means and energies to political reloim and the
restoratii nof tin- old landmarks and limita
tions of delegated authority and of the stand
ard of official honor.
By a law o Congress which went into effect
on the first of January, 1875. the publishers of
daily newspapers are required at the time of
mailing, to prepay all postage, w hich relieve*
the subscriber ot the payment ol postage at
the oflice ot delivery. Under this law the post
age will be less than the previous law. The

ZJ six i~ the Centennial year. It is al-o tho
year in which an Opposition House of Repre-
the first since the war, will be in
power at Washington; and the year of a twen
ty-third election of a President of the United
States. All of these events are sure to be of
great interest and importance, especially the
two latter, and all of them and everything
connected with them will be freely and fresh
ly reported iwi expounded in TUB SUN.
Tin-opposition House of Representatives,
taking up the lire of inquiry opened years ago
by TIIE SUN, will sternly and diligently in
vestigate the. corruptions and misdeeds of
Grant’s administration; and will, it i> to be
Hoped, lay the foundation for anew and better
pei i din our national history. Of all this
THE SUN will contain complete and accurate
accounts, furnishing its remless with early
and trustworthy intormation these absorbing
topics.
The twenty-third Presidential election, with
the preparations for it, will be memorable as
deciding upon Grant’s aspirations tor a third
term ot power and plunder, and still more as
deciding who shall he the party of Reform,
and as electing that candidate. Concerning
all these subjects, those who read THE SUN
will have the constant means of being tlior
oughl> well informed.
TIIE WEEKLY SUN, which has attained a
circulation ot over eighty thousand copies, al
ready in;s its readers in every State and Terri
tory, and we trust that the year 1876 will see
their numbers doubled. It will continue to be
a thorough newspaper. All the general news
ot the day will be found in it. condensed when
unimportant, at fill' length when ol moment;
and always, we trust, treated in a clear, inter
esting and instructive manner.
It is our aim to make THE WEEKLY SUN
the best family newspaper in the world, and
we shall continue to give in its columns a
large amount of miscellaneous reading, such
as stories, talcs, poems, scientific intelligence
and agricultural information, for which we
are n< t able to make room in our daily edition.
The agricultural department especially is one
of it- prominent features. The fashions are
also regularly reported in its columns, and so
are the markets ol every kind.
THE \\ EEKEY SUN, eight pages, with fiftv
six broad columus, is only one 1*1.20 a year,

the cost of the paper, no discount can be made
from this rate to clubs, agents, postmasters, or
