A Canine Cnmlidate. The Hon. Michael Kerr, of Indiana, has been suggested by several influential journ als in the West, as a proper candidate for the Presidency. “What’s in a name ?” etc. New Apportionment. The House Judiciary Committee of Con gress has at last agreed upon a bill for the new apportionment, and fixed the number of Members of Congress at 273. This will entail a loss of one member to both Ver mont and New Hampshire, and will give Kentucky a gain of one. Dcud Mens’ Shoe*. Senators, Representatives, cx-Govcrnors and politicians out of jobs, are particularly' anxious about the health of Chief Justice Chase, who is now in New York City suf fering with partial paralysis. Several hungering ones have intimated to the Pres ident that the “collateral” is ready when be does the handsome thing. An Idea. A Western paper says that should U. S. Grant fail to be re-elected President in 1872, (and he will certainly so fail.) it is understood that he is to be the great candi date for Governor of Canada! The immor tal Schenck, in his mission to the Queen’s court, is said to be especially charged with the perfecting of the arrangement with her Majesty. Removing the Capital. The capital has been removed again this time to Denver, Colorado. It was done by a Mr. John S. Campbell, of some out-of the-way place in the back woods of Michi gan, through the instrumentality of an eight-page tract which he lias taken par ticular pains to scatter broadcast over that part of the country. The only thing to commend Denver, is that it would “make a splendid summer resort! !” A Report of tlie War. At the recent meeting at Lynchburg of the Executive Committee of the Army of Northern Virginia, it was resolved to take steps to procure reports from survivors of all battles, orders, inspectors, quarter-masters* and commissaries’ reports, etc., for publics., tion ; also, that Maj. R >bert Stiles be re quested to collect the evidence and prepare a memoir relative to the Dablgreen-Kilpat rick raid on Richmond in the sping of 1864. Ku Klu\. Why don’t the Radicals send up one of their periodical howls and demand the re construction of Pennsylvania? “Masked men” have been sneaking about after night fait, in Lancaster, the home of the late Thad. Stephens, waylaying people and committing depredations of every nature, but thus far not a solitary croak has escaped from the Radical press. Pennsylvania be ing all right (i. e. Radical) this will be simply treated as a harmless ebullition of spirit—“only this, and nothing more.” Thf Income Tax. The New York Times says: The income tax seems doomed. The movement in the House for its immediate abolition has de rived strength from the statements of the new Commissioner of Internal Revenue. And now the Senate follows”with a two thirds vote making the consideration of a bill terminating the tax the special order for Tuesday next. That vote does not abso lutely determine the question of repeal, but it indicates a decided change of opinion where hostility to reduction of taxation has been strongest. Mr. Kelley, we trust, will not allow the subject to sleep in the House. The income tax, always odious, has become unendurable. Public opinion is united on nothing more earnestly than in the demand for its repeal. A Phr nom c non. The U. S. Steamer Tennessee, is to take the commissioners appointed by the Presi dent, to San Domingo, to examine the island and report thereon, and if it can be done without interfering with their other exacting duties, stake out a few more build ing lots for the President and themselves. It is understood that positive orders have been issued to search the vessel carefully before she departs, to see that no intoxica ting liquors are taken with her. When it is remembered that nearly all of the ap pointees are Radicals, the extreme cruelty of the order will be seen. It is presumed however that a few cases of ginger-pop will be taken along, together with lemons and sugar for the concoction of a mild lemo* 3 Bade occasionally. Tally for Blair. General Frank Blair has been elected United States Senator from Missouri. This gentleman, it will be remembered, was one of the most prominent Federal Generals in the late struggle, and won from Grant the compliment of being “the best volun teer commander in the army.” He is an honest, high-toned gentleman, and will re flect credit upon himself and constituency. In a late speech delivered in the House of Representatives of Missouri, he used the following language in defining his position : “My hope in going to Congress, if I should attain that high position, is that I may aid in withdrawing the troops from those Southern States which are held there to saddle upon the baoks of that people a parcel of carpet-baggers and scalawags, followed by an ignorant mass of negroes,’ The Tinker* ut Work. The Hon. Richard Yates lute Senator from Illinois, proposes to amend the Con stitution so as to make foreign-born citizens eligible to the office of President of the United States. There is str mg opposition to it. An amendment to mak* the Presi dential term of office ten years instead of four, lias also been mooted. Why not go a step farther and patch up, darn, mend, repair, tinker, cobble, calk, cicatrize and refit the instrument, which has become hardly more than a strip of worthless parch ment, so that Presidents shall hold office for life cr until deposed by ‘civil disorder’ as in Mexico; give each State a dozen or mn-e Senators, who shall be permitted to rifle the pockets of the people as long as they will submit to it ; allow idiots, women and babies the right suffrage ; make any body and everybody eligible to offices of importance and profit; render the will of the President the supreme law of the land ; give each State an independent army and navy ; tip the Supreme Court into the mud; increase representation a hundred fold; create numberless Vice-Presidents of which the best men shall win, when the President dies, &c, &e. We see no impro priety in suggesting these changes, and those who are stretching, straiuing ard warping the Constitution out of all shape, are wejeome to them. Presidential Candidate. General Hancock is again being spoken offer the Presidential nomination in polit ical circles, and the nnmps of Hendricks, Hoffman, Thurman, and J. Q. Adams are also talked of by Democrats. There is a growing opposition to Grant’s renonrnina tion in republican circles and leading rad icals in Congress estimate that his renomi nation is by no means certain. None of his opponents have yet shown their hands. There is no telling on whom they will rally. The disaffected republicans are very cau tious in suggesting any names, and they are probably waiting for the opposition to de velop itself still more before attempting an organization. Sumner is generally regarded as not being a presi lential candidate. Ex- Seoretary Cox, of Ohio, is thought by some keen politicians to have aspirations in that way, and does not want back rs. Well informed politicians however, speak pri vately of General William Tecumseh Sher man as the man who will most probably be sustained for nomination by the repub licans, who look on Grant as a Jonah to be thrown overboard. Sherman is said to be quietly taking his own course in making his friends. General Sherman does not consider the personal relations between himself and Grant are such as to preclude his being a candidate for nomination, and that he will certainly accept if he be the choice of the national convention. It is thought that if the opposition to Grant in republican ranks concentrates on Sherman, it will seriously endanger Grant’s chances for a renomination. The military officers around Grant’s person at the White House, are said to be looking upon Sherman with a jealous and unfriendly eye, regarding him as a rival to their chief, and they are supposed to reflect Grant’s secret feelings. Hard Times and Dull Trade. Notwithstanding statistics show a steady expansion of the commerce of the country, it is quite common to hear the cry of “hard times” and “dull trade,” In a commercial point of view, the cry is occasioned to a great extent, in this section, on account of there being too large a medium between the producer and consumer. Such is the case throughout the whole country. The general trade is cut to pieces, or in other words, overdone by mercantile aspirants. In the South, we are sorry to say, there are hundreds and hundreds of young men, who turn their backs upon agricultural and mechanical pursuits, and recklessly throw themselves into the mercantile ranks, sim ply because the business is physically light and easy, compared to manual labor. We admit that a great majority of this class, from the cradle up to the commencement, of the late war, were raised perhaps in afflu ence and were strangers to manual work ; but that day has passed ! The war has brought about a different state of afiairs, and they now find themselves thrown en tirely upon their own resources. Such being the case, too many turn their atten- ' tion the mercantile ranks as above stated, and help to swell the medium between the producer ane consumer beyond the limits of success and prosperity. There is another class, which with propriety, may be alluded to. The war, it is well known, flushed the pockets of thousands throughout the United States, with just a sufficient amount of cur rency to turn their heads and encourage them to enter the mercantile business and to forget their former occupations. The ranks of the merchant, of the commission dealer, of the broker and of all -classes known to the commercial world, were sud denly swelled by this class, the great ma jority of which have proved tnemselves to be incompetent supernumeraries. The re sult from such a state of affairs we have had in the shape of failures, bankrupts, etc., and the end is not yet. The ranks are too ! full, and time alone, will thin them and reduce them to their proper sphere. Tam. Advertiser. Indiana. Divorces. Governor Baker of Indiana, in his recent message, dwells at length and with great severity, upon the facility with which citi zens of other States, after a pretended resi dence in Indiana, obtain divnreep, and then return to their homes from which thev had fled for that very purpose. The laws under 1 which such schemes can he carried out, he says, are a reproach to the civilization of the age, and are in violation of the comity of sister States. The Governor recommends that the clause of the statute which author izes divorces for any cause that the Court may deem sufficient, should be repealed, and that the clause making cruel treatment a good cause of divorce should be so amended as to require the treatment to be cruel and inhuman or cruel and barbarous. lie also recommends certain changes in the practice in divorce cases, which would render im possible the collusive or fraudulent separa tion of husband and wife, and says that i with sueh amendments Indiana divorces would soon cease to be advertised in the Atlantic cities os marketable commodities, j A Straw. In voting at the Orphans’ fair in New York for the presentation of an elaborate “meerschaum,” Gen Grant stood lowest on 1 the list of several candidates. Gen. Mc- Clellan had more votes than all the rest, combined. So our smoking President will , not have the felicity of coloring that meer- i schaum. The New TarilT—lts Effect Upon Duninr**. As anticipated, the changes in the tariff have caused some irregularity in the mar kets for the various goo is affected thereby, but hardly to the extent predicted, and business adapts itse f to the new order of things with comparative case. No violent disruption of values occurred, as the pr.ibt ble variation had been previously pretty well discounted, but the wholesale business has run rather slow. This, in a great measure, is due to the very liberal pur chases made in bond by local j >bber< and interior dealers during the month of De cember, and all attention is now given to the withdrawal of invoices fr rn bond. As fast as the papers are passed, however; and the stock can be obtained from the over crowded warehouses, it is distributed with out difficulty, the small dealers and con sumers cubing liberally for supplies, and some of our principal jobbers are working night and day to satisfy the urgent demands of their customers for speedy shipments Every freight line leading from the city is besieged by an immense line of trucks and carts, cf blocks in length, loaded to their fullest capacity awaiting an opportunity to get goods off. and the facilities for transpor tation will be taxed to their utmost. For many weeks the accumulations in the inte rior having become so small that many dealers can hardly fill an ordinary retail call, and insist upon stocks being pushed forward to some extent at almost any cost. Some few complications in regard to the proper construction of the law under the new tariff, but, as a rule, the CusTom House officials and the mcrocants agree*very well, and in a few in-stances the deiiveries have been larger and more expeditions than had been calculated upon. The gr -atest irouble is at the warehouses, goods U?ing piled so closely that it frequently requires two or three days to get at parcels for which per mits have been obtained. That Cotton Picker. S ime time ago the Louisville press an nounced the fact that certain parties in that city were about to perfect a machine for picking cotton. We confess that the idea of a machine for sueh a purpose has heretofore seemed absurd, and we set this down a-* one of the many emanations from the crazy brain of inventive genius, and so discarded it from our mind • However, it seems that we were too fast. Colonel T. C. Flournoy, one of the largest plahters on the Arkansas river, believes that it will work a great revolution in cotton planting. One machine, drawn by two mules, and op erated by two hands will pick eight bales of c-aton per day ! Or, in other words two mules and two hands can house all the cot ton they can produce on Arkansas river lands in two days. If this be a fact, and the machine do rot. yet prove a failure, nothing has been invented since Whitney put his gin in operation, which will so ma terially effect cotton production. The pat entees, Messrs, Pearce, Apperly and Shir ley. will have an experimental mathine completed in a few days, which they will take direct to the plantation of Colonel Flournoy, on the Arkansas, when a test will be made of the most trying and satis factory nature. Wendell Phillips. Mr. Phillips has aged considerably since he last appeared upon a Cincinnati plat form. Ilis baldness “has grown upon him.” The faint suspicion of hair which now adorns the top of his head would drive a Cheyenne Indian, desirous of his scalp, to madness. He was arrayed last evening <n the traditional black frock coat of the old est school, the garment being buttoned closely, so as to show to the greatest ad vantage the sharp New England outlines of fiis person. His whole appearance was rather formal for a professional ic moclast, but this must be set down as necessary compromise with the conventionalities cf the Hub, from which, as a moral and in tellectual spoke, he radiates. Ilis voice has the sharp Yankee ring, in which the head ton*s predominate, but which, by effort and years of painful culture, is no longer nasal. Ilis manner was angular at opening, his gestures sluggish and ungrace ful, but as he warmed with the progress of his discourse they were characterized by greater ease. The stiffness seemed partly that of advancing years, which some time ago began to do their appointed work. English Opinion of our Army. The London Times, speaking of our armv, says : “The theory of military organization in the United States rests upon the principle that a small regular army can readily be made the nucleus round which an armed nation may gather. Forty thousand men, well discipuned and admirably officered, may undoubtedly grow, in case of need, within a few weeks, into a splendid army of half a million of men. Unless opposed by a nation drilled from childhood to the business of fighting, such an army would be irresistible. With an army of 37,('00 men, the President of the Republic may he reas onably sure that he has a farce sufficient to oppose any that can be brought against him. Even though he were to engage wickedly and rashly in conflict with Eng land for her Canadian Dominion, the force at present under arms in the United States is at least equal to any that this country could send across the Atlantic in time of need to defend Quebec. The Great Powers of the European Continent are powerless when, they face America. The Georgia Senatorial Muddle. The Judiciary Committee es the Senate had another session to day on the case of the Georgia Senators. The deeper the com mittee gets in its investigations the snore mixed the case becomes. It is difficult now to tell which of the several braces of Sena tors claiming seats from Georgia elec ted legally, or whether they were elected at all. One of the applicants, Foster Blod gett, is accused of securing his election by anything but honorable means, and, after his election, of securing the passage of a law, the effect of which is to prevent the Legislature chosen last fall from electing a Senator, and to make him Senator for six years from the 4rh of March next. Blod gett is one of the Bullock faction, and there is evidence before the committee to show that he played the little game with the connivance of the Governor.— Washington Telegram Sunday Herald. The report of the President and Directors of the Macon and Western Railroad, just published, shows that ihnt road, with*gross receipts amounting to §692,5' 0, has made a net earning of $251,000. Yet the West ern arid Atlantic Railroad, with a gross in come twice ns large, has boon leased for twenty years for only $300,000 per annum. Something to Save Life. Anew brake has been adopted on one of the English railroads, in consequence of the recent frequency of accidents, which is able to stop a train going at the rate of thirty inilesjna hour, in twenty-five seconds. Synopsis of Telegraphic Kew*. Washington, J n„ 18 —A committee appointed under Morton’s resolution to in vestigate the condition of affairs in the South, of which Senat r Scott, of Pennsylvania, is chairman, propose to go to work In a few da - s they will issue a number of subpajnas to prominent men in in the South, who are supposed to be cognixent of alleged outrages recently committed there ; am mg them will be Gov. Holden, of North Carolina; Gov. Scott, of South Carolina, and Gov. Davis, of Texas. It is their intention to make a report before the close of the des cion if possible. In the mass of documents from Gov. Hol den, recently submitted to the Senate, is a le'ter from Col. Hunt, who, in July, 1870, was assigned to the command of the District of N >rth Carolina. He says, under date of Fort Adams, Rhode Island, January 2d, 1871. alluding to the inquiry as to murders and outrages committed by disloyal organi zations for political purposes, that he heard of none such as happening while lie was in the State, of those which occurred previous to his assuming command. That whieh created the most excitement was the murder of Mr Stevens, a State Senator. He adds : “Evidence of the existence of such an or ganization in both political parties was produced ; but nearly all the cases inquired into proved, however that, other than politic e-1 purposes were effect *d through'the facil iiies ofFerded by these organizations, whose machinery wots used to punish theft,, bur glaries, insults to women, and other offen ses in no wav connected with politics. In fine, their principle business seemed to be to do work usually performed by regulators and vigilance committees. These crimes were had enongh in them selves, but in the bitterness of party feeling they were greatly exaggerated and misrep resented, and attained to political parties as such. To what extent murders and out rages werecommited for political purposes, I am not in a position to state, for when the Legislature passed laws to punish the members of the secret, organizations, they were to a groat extent, if not wholly, dissolved, and this was before I assumed command of the District. Washington, January 23 —The Commit'- tee on the Judiciary, to whom was referred the credentials of gentlemen claiming to have been elected Senators frutji Georgia, say in their report, made to the Senate to day, that the General Assembly of that State, as organized in 18G8, of the time of election of Hill and Miller, contained in each house a constitutional quorum of legal members. Three of the claimants, Ilill, Farrow and Whitely have had their politi cal disabilities removed by the act of Con gress of July 1868. Miller never labored under any political disabilites, imposed by the third section of the 14th amendment to the Constitution of the United States, but it is admitted that he acted as a Surgeon in tha rebel ‘army,-under an appointment from a Colonel of a rebel regiment, and had given aid to persons in hostility to the United Q tates, and therefore he cannot take the oath required by the act of July, 1862. The act of July, 1868, prescribes a quali fied oath to be taken by persons elected or appointed to office, from whom political disabilities have been removed. Miller, however, is not relieved from taking the oath prescribed by the act of July, 18G8, and, in the opinion of the committee, not entitled to a seat; and it follows, from the conclusions of the committee, as to the pro ceedings in the election of Hill uni Miller, that neither Farrow nor Whirely is entitled to a seat. The committee are of opinion that Hill was d»!y elected by the Legisla ture having authority to elect, a Senator, and is entitled to take his seat upon taking the oath required by the Constitution and the laws. 11 the contestants maintained the position before the committee, that the ineligibility or disqualification cf individual members of either house, not sufficiently numerous to affect its constitutional quo rum, was an immaterial issue. The com mittee, therefore, have not deemed it neces sary to discuss the question further than to state the facts in regard to it. The majority of the committee agreeing to the report are Senators Trumbull, Ed munds, Conkling and Carpenter. Senator Thurmon agrees with them that Ilill is entitled t> take his seat, and holds that Miller is also entitled to take his seat on takin’g the oath prescribed Kv the con stitution. Senators Stewart and Rice, of the minority, in the presentation of tneir views, say the main question is, which cite tion should be held valid, that of Hill and Miller in 1868, or F irrow ana Whiteley in 187 In the determination of this question, much depend> upon the point of time when Georgia became entitled to reconstruction in Congress. Alter referring to the recon struction laws on this subject they s iy they have been able to find no in the history of the government where Senators have been admitted from a State not entitled to representation in Congress at the time of the election. Congress has already in effect decided that the necessary legislation, de claring that Georgia was entitled to repre sentation, was not made prior to the election of Hill and Miller, nor has any snb«equent Congressional act recogn zed as lega the organization of the Legislature in 1868. They recommend the adoption of a resolu tion declaring in favor of Whiteley being elected and entitled to a seat, The captions, and first paragraph, of a two-column telegram to the New York Tribune are as follows: The return of Southern Unionists to Washington with the same old story of murder, intimidation and oppression—crude ideas of the power of Congress—what they ask —a pr >posed measure of relief. By telegraph to the Tribune, Washington, D. C. January., 22. In one respect, Washington to-day wears an a°peet similar to that which it wore du ring the troubled days of Andy Johnson’s efforts towards reconstruction, and that is the appearance on the streets and in public places of Southern Unionists. They swarm in tho Capitol corridors now ns they did then, and the burden of their complaint is the same old, old story ot murder, intimi dation and proeoriptivo oppres ion. “The rebels have got t ho upper hand of us again,” they say, “and wo arc suffering more than you can imagine, and more than the North ern people can bo made to believe. FOREIGN. London, January I'd. Severe nkinuish* ing is reported on the Kionoh centre. The French claim the advantage. Paris advices id the 1S 1 1» state that the number <•! deaths troth the bombardment was estimated at fifteen on Friday. Rumors insist that the German lire is unequal to Gorman expectations. It is stated that u general attack will he Organized to morrow, to include St. Denis and Valerien. It is said that Trochu has decided to commence a series of sorties on the 20th, to continue incessantly, miles# there is peace on thOtFreaoh term*. Logan and tlic C liief. The Wabash Virtley Times, a Radical paper, is responsible for the following lie had the story from a man who was there and heard Logan tell it: A short time ago a party of Congressmen were conversing together in Washington, and a prominent Western Democrat inquired ot L -gin, “Well, General, have you called at the" White House since your arrival ?” To which the would-be Senator replied in his characteristic language : “Yes ; and'bv G—d, don’t you think they ‘mistered’ me up there.” “Why, how was that?” “They don’t know me up there any rnorf. Even the black thief who opened the door, and who has known roe for ten years, in quired, ‘What’s the name sir V That was done by orders, for he has announced roe scores of times before, and never required mv name. And when I saw the President, he extended his hand with “llow do you do, ‘Mr.’ Logan ? Judge Dent was there, and he ealh-d me ‘Mr ’ Logan ; and that lacquey, General Dent, called me ‘Mr.’ Logan. But d— n them, I snubbed them as well. I re sponded, “Quite well, I thank you, ‘Mr.’ Grant; glad to see you, ‘Mr.' Dent ; and I ‘mistered’ everybody ah ut the place, in cluding the whole Dent family.” Logan is a contestant for the Presidential nomination in 1872, which accounts for the milk in the cocanut. Caved In. The collapse of the Home Fire Insurance Campany, of New Haven, reveals a state of things not calculated to inspire unbound ed confidence in corporate management. Thp Company has been one of the most ex* tensive and popular in the country and its outstanding risks are at this moment enoi rnous. Suddenly, its managers confess their inability to carry it on longer. All its capital is gone, and obligations remain unsatisfied. How loosely the business has been managed, some of the facts adduced at a stockholders’ meeting enabled us to understand. Thus, the actual assets are a small percentage of those which have been reported : $160,000 in the hands of agents dwindle down to $54,000 ; bills receivable, valued at $35,000, yield less than $7,000: and so forth. On the other hand, the real ized losses are nearly double the est mated, —and more are to come. There has evi dently been almost inconceivable reckless ness in the acceptance of risk* and in the liberty accorded to agents. Fraud is also imputed in connection with an unexplain ed over-issue of stock of which r favored circle reaped the benefit, Altogether, the exposure isone of the most scandalous that has recently occurred in the insurance world. Mr. Lincoln. A correspondent writes : “Mrs. L ; ncoln is at present in London. Her friends at home would hardly recognize her. Reduc ed in flesh, and impaired in health, he seems completely rejuvenated—if indeed rejuvenation may be affirmed without of fense of one who had never yet been old. She is in London for the purpose of placing her son “Tad” at school. This purpose accomplished, she proposes to join her friend, Mrs. Bish >p Su'ftpson at Rune, and make with her the tour of Italy. Mrs. Lincoln, strange as it may s Hind to those who knew her only through the slanders of the Republican press, is a very intelligent and agreeable woman. It is impossible o know her without feeling that she has been cruelly wronged by those who should have been among the first- rn protect her.” Keeping Out Southern Democrats.
