Will the Herald tell ns wh »t it means by
stating that Mr. Hill “will stand lor Con
gress T’—Chronicle and Sentinel.
With the greatest pleasure. In stating that
Mr. Hill would “stand for Congress in the
Ninth District” at the next election, the
Herald meant exactly what the Chronicle
and Sentinel meant when it announced, in
1872, that “Mr. Stephens would stand lor
Congress” in the Eighth District -nothing
more, and nothing less. We hope our co-
u-mporary is answered.

Death op Da. Bachman. —The Charleston
News and Courier records the death, Tuesday
last, of the venerable and distinguished Rev.
Dr. John Bachman, in tLe eighty-fitth year
oi his age. Dr. ^Bachman was a native of
New York, but settled in Charleston in 1815,
taking charge of the German Lutheran con
gregation of that city. He was distinguished
alike tor his ability as a theologian and
preacher, and bis attainment in natural
science, to which he was much devoted, a
number of works on various branches having
appeared from his pen. He was the devoted
personal triend and correspondent of Alex m-
der Von Humboldt and of our own illustrious
Audubon.
Postal Reform —It is said that the Senate
Appropriations Committeo will propose an
amendment to the Uws so as to provide that
after ttie 30th of Jane, 1874. conveyance in
the mails of samples of merchandise, pack
ages of clothing, seeds, cuttings, bulbs, roots,
scions, samples of metals, ores and mineral- ,
ogical specimens, and bound books shall
erase, and all 1 iws authorizing such convey
ance shall ba repealed.
The reason for proposing such repeal is
that the mails are lumbered with, among
other things, beehives, with live bees in them,
fed with honey and sheltered by glass; boots
and shoes, groceries and other incongruous
articles, which are sent through the mails
under the provision that everything except
some dangerous liquids can be sent through
the mails it not weighing over four pounds.
MR. HILL FOR COXGRR83.
The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel says:
“The Atlanta Herald contains an editorial
article which states: ‘We are safe, we believe,
in m<tkiog the statement that the Hon. Beiij
II. Hill will, in response to many petitions
from the people, stand for Congress from the
Ninth District of this State, the District of
which Athens is the chief city, and of which
Mr. H. P. Bell is the present Representative.*
We cheerfully indorse the complimentary
language iu which the Herald notices the
candidacy of Mr. Hill. Mr. Hill is one of the
ablest men in the South, or in the United
States, and the people have been too long de
prived of his services. We would soon learn
baing absent. Both the lrieruls and oppo
cents of Simmons were at work to-day and

opponents say that Mr. Forbes to-day

ination of Simmons, and that the President
replied that he would take it into considera-
tion and advise with Butler and Hooper. The

Toe bill to revive the franking privilege—
clumsily disgnised as a plan for the distri
bution of public documents—was at length,
afier a week’s debate, brought to a vote to
day. First came a rnotioD to lay it on the
table, aud that was defeated by a majority of
18; then came a substitute to restore the
frankiug privilege pure and simple, but only
fifty members had the honeety to vote for
thar, while two hundred voted against it.
Then came the final vote, and it was amus
ing to see the nervousness of the members
about it. Many who wished the bill to pass
and not wishing to appear on the yea and
nay lists, so voting, and so the result was the
rejection of the bill by one majority of 130
against to 131 for. It will probably be re
vived to-morrow by a motion to reconsider.
Some thirty Democrats voted for the bill.
The Senate to-day, in executive session, de
bated for an hour and a halt the nomination
of Simmons to be Collector of Customs for
Boston. On the question being taken, the
Senate found itself without a quorum, and
the subject went over until the next executive
session. The vote is represented as fitteen in
the affirmative and tweu’v in the negative; it
is claimed by Simmons friends that this is tee ““ ,ro “ lQe f ia * Hl ***"” now
not indicative of the result—half the Senators P end ‘“« m Qa-rtermaeter nnd Comnn*-
1 he Chair said that as the morning hour
had expired, the question would first be on
Senator Sargent’s motion, but if the majori
ty of the Senate opposed it it would be voted
down, and then the question would be on
the motion of Senator Cameron.
Senator CAMERON said very well, he
hoped that would be the understanding, and
that the friends of his bill would govern them
selves accordingly.
Senator SARGENT made some remarks
showing the necessity of proceeding with the
appropriation bill, not one of which had yet
been considered.
Senator SHERMAN expressed his willing
ness to have the finance question postponed
until Tuesday next He did hope on that
day the Senate would come to a vote.
Senator FERRY, of Michigan, would ob
ject to anything that would postpone the
finance matter later than Tuesday.
Senator SARGENT thought that two legis
lative days would be sufficient to dispose of
the naval bill.
Senator CAMERON said that he would ob
ject to anything until the Centennial bill was
disposed of.
Senator SHERMAN moved the farther con
sideration of the financial question be post
poned until Tuesday next. Agreed to.
Senator CAMERON then moved to take
up the Centennial bill.
Senator SUMNER thought that the regular
appropriation bill should precede the irregu
lar appropriation bills.
Senator THURMAN said he should vote
against the bill. He thought this idea of j
holding an exhibition was entirely destruct- 1
ive to a proper celebration of American Inde
pendence, and Congress could not do a worse
thing than to put its hand in the Treusury
and take out money for this purpose.
Senator CAMERON resented ihe styling of
this bill an approprirtion bill.
Senater SUMNER read the bill and said no
candid person could deny that it was au en
tering wedge to calling upon Congress for a
large appropriation. He read a dispatch of
date of February 16, 1874, addressed by Mr.
Cameron to Mayor Stokely of Philadelphia,
expressing his desire that Mr. Stokely should
be re-elected, and assuring him of his grati
fication to know that in the event any appro
priation is voted by Congress it would be
properly expended.
The CHAIR called Senator SUMNER to
order for discussing the merits of the bill.
Senator CAMERON said be bad written
the dispatch and approved eveiy word of it.
He intimated that if McClure had been elect
ed he would not have been so well satisfied as
to the manner in which the money would be
spent.
The Chair called Mr. Cameron to order for
discm-siDg the merits of tbe bill.
Senator SARGENT read from tbe first act
passed by Congress o -the subject of centen
nial, probibiting appropriation of any mon
ey on that account.
Alter further discussion the motion to take
np was decided in the negative, as follows:
Y’eas—Alcorn, Bayard, Boreman, Bucking

House of Representatives,
Washington, February 26, 1874.
lion. George S. Boutwell, United States Sen
ator :
My Dear Sir: At your personal solicita
tion yesterday, I withheld tbe recommenda
tion of which I enclose you a copy, signed by
seven of the eleven members of Con
gress for our State. At tbe interview
with tbe President, at which you
were present on Tuesday. The President
said that if our Congressional delegation
tering-ram with wuich to demolish sinks of
iniquity, strikes ns as a profane and unwar
rantable perversion of sacred things, which
noceasarily involves peril of subsequent ill
resalts. It will be well if the legitimate influ
ence of prayer is not abridged in these com
munities to a degree that shows a sad requital |
for the temporary success attcu ling its unde
signed profanation.
ne would nominate him instead of Mr. Sim
mona as Collector of Boston. In pursuar.ee
of this suggestion we have selected three per
sons, upon whom we have united. We have
not been able to procure the signature of our
associate, Mr. Dawes, who is absent from tbe
city, and of eleven Representatives, Mr.
Buffiutou, Mr. Hooper aud Mr. Butler have
declined to sign it. Yon said
me that you could name
one or two gentlomen who would
be acceptable to be nominated in the place
of Mr. Simmons. Will yon be kind enough
“But, however obnoxious to criticism the either to join with us in recommending the
deportment aud met ho Is of these reformers " horn we have selected, or state
' to us the Dfttne of the gentleman to whom
tn%y be, their z.al is worthy of all praise,
aud we com*neud it to the imitation of our
female readers. Such zed, finding expres
sion in the less demonstrative and un femi
nine methods which the native instincts of
Soc-iierft women would suggest, is sadly
needed among us, aud would go far toward
checking an evil which is crowding with
coantiess woes, the lives of multitudes ol
you referred as a proper person to meet tbe
President’s request? We have no doubt that
your selection would be of a person of char
acter and qualifications and suited to so im-
poitant an office, and that we shall cheer.u-
ly acquiesce in your choice. Iu view of tbe
fact tnat our collegue, Mr. Batler, who prt-
seated the name of Mr. Simmon*, now states
that he would not have recommended
the nomination bad he known the trou
ble it has made and in view of the
sary Departments, is also omitted from
the bill as reported, and all balances
appropriations for tbe service of
the Quartermaster and Commissary Gen
erals’ Department remaining undrawn on
July 1st, 1872, are by this amendment carried
into tbe Treasury, while these officers are to
continue to examine and act upon claim*.
The effect is to require special appropriations
by Congress to psy claimants instead of their
being paid as now, through tbe third auditor.
Senators WEST and THE CHAIRMAN, of
the committee, opposed this action as impos
ing vexatious delays, but were overruled iu
the committee. There will be a fierce fight
over it in both Houses, but the vexations
delays will doubtless become the law.

A Wilmingtoniau, upon recognizing Big
Frank, went direct to Alderman Jennings
office and notified Constable Babe, who ac
companied tbe citizen to the beer saloon, on
18 Sherwood street, and there pointed out the
fugitive. Frank made no resistance and qui
etly went to the station bouse where be was
subsequently identified by the detectives. He
was in company with another party when first
seen on the streets but the latter escaped.
Frank says his companion was a friend,
who was not interested at all in the escape.
The prisoner looks very pale, and dreads
going back, saying he is afraid of mob law.
At the station bouse be drank fully a pint of
whisky. As to the escape be has but little to
say, except that while the affair was planned
some days befoie. he and his companions
bciog iu constant communication with
their friends through Frasier, who had
freedom of the yard. He characterized the
story about a woman b<ing in the case as a
piece of romance, but admits that a woman
called to see them in the prison, and brought
them whisky. He says it was rather unfortu
