Thiers’ Government Gone
We fear from the *«or of the morning dis-
patches in this edition that onr apprehensions
for the past few days have been Anally realized,
and the Thiers government is practically de
funct What next ? The Beds can do nothing
but mischief. They have vast resources, dis
cord, disorder and ruin, bnt nothing more. The
rumor that they will substitute Thiers by the
Dnc d'Aumale, with a view to the restoration of
tho Orleans family, we hardly credit; and any
administration holding by their-favor would
have but short thrift. On tho whole, France is
afloat on a stormy sea without chart, rudder,
compass or pilot.
Mb. MoBurney.—The Washington letter in
tho Savannah Republican charges Mr. J. C.
McBurney, among 320 other defaulting revenue
collectors, with an unsettled arrearage of $90,-
761.61—but tho Auditor’s last balance sheet
with him exhibits only $9,7Gl.Cl.as the amount
dno. The correspondence of the figures shows
fhnt there was a typographical or other error in
tho Republican's statement Now, against this
$0,7G1.61 Mr. McBumey off-sotts numerous and
probably just claims as credits—which the
Treasury Department has, so far, not admitted
on the credit side of the ledger. Among these
are numerous payments on account of salaries
to subordinate officials, the Department rul
ing that they were improperly employed as
not being ablo to take tho iron-olad oath; sev
eral large lots of cotton taxed twice in the hands
of different holders, and so charged to him, bnt
tho necessary credit delayed on account of some
alleged informality in vouchers; then, too, a
credit of about $C00 which has been subse
quently allowed; and finally several other
claims of a miscellaneous character in equal
conformity with justice, law and precedent. In
the opinion of the Senior, therefore, there is no
balance duo the Government from McBumey.
How Money and Time abb Wasted.—The
following paragraph from tho Mobile Register
strikes at a prevailing folly and injustice to
children, and we give it a cordial endorsement:
“All over tho country there are scores of
young misses, without an atom of musical
talent, who are working arduously every day at
their scales and exercises on the piano, super
intended by fashionable teachers. The mis*
guided parents of these machine-players fondly
hope that their darlings will one day astonish
society and blossom into full-fledged pianists,
and therefore the pretty heads of the fair Saint
Cecilias aro crammed with tho works of Heller,
Sehuman, Chopin, Liszt, Bnbenstein and Thal-
borg, which are so much Sanscrit to them, and
quite as unintelligible. Thus many young wo
men, whose talont8for making puddlings, doing
plain sowing and general house wifery, lie dor
mant, are rendered a terror to their neighbor
hoods when they commence that awful daily
infliction called “practising.” It is quite as
much a waste of timo to try and learn music
when you have.no ear or taste for it, as it is to
insist upon singing when it is evident yon can
merely screech, hence the folly of laying out
money on Mademoiselle’s musio, when she never
will be able to play except in a mechanical
banging way, which acts on the nerves of those
who love music like drops of water falling from
a great height on the forehead continously,
might. Where there is feeling and taste, a
musical organization in short, cultivate it; but
where thero is not, don’t afflict society by bring
ing into it another harassing, irritating per
former.”
The vigilants of Nevada are sending notices
to snspseted persons to leave immediately, and
their various demands are complied with with
alacrity. Eight persons have been banished
from Virginia City already, and six from Gold
Hill. Here is rampant Eu-EIuxism in a free
State—a State that never held a slave; a radi
cal Stale, represented by Radicals in Congress;
and yet no United States troops are sent into it
to preserve order. Where are Senator Sherman
and Gen. Batler, that they are not prompt in
protecting Virginia City and Gold City?—Bos
ton Post.
Fobney not Collector.—Tho Herald says,
daring the recent visit of President Grant to
Philadelphia he offered the position of Collector
of the Port of that city to CoL J. W. Forney.
It was promptly declined by Forney, who said
that he did not want any office under the Ad
ministration. Forney’s friends say that there
never was a time when he would have accepted
so small au office os this under Grant. In fact,
he does not want any office within the gift of
the President
Nye’s Ku-klux.—Tho World responds to the
tearful speech of the wretched Nye over the
North Carolina Ku-klux, by copious quotations
from tho Carson City, (Nevada,) Register, re
porting at length the proceedings of Nye’s Ku-
klux called a vigilance committee, breaking in
to jails and trying and hanging men very in
formally behind masks of red and white cloth.
But then the victims were whites—which makes
a difference. Brother Nye had not a tear to
shed over the Nevada Ku-klux—not he.
Cloudy Slues and a Storm Threatened
In Washington Mr. Sumner opened the week
and the first hour of the session with his grand
onslaught on tha Grant administration. The
speech, wo understand to be a general outpour
ing of wrath, but later dispatches in this edition
will give some idea of its purport and temper.
A chamber crowded as it has not been since the
days of the Johnson impeachment trial evinced
the general public curiosity and interest to hear
what the Massachusetts Senator had to say.
Of course, if, as anticipated, it is a trenchant
assault on Grant, some administration Senator
(probably Morton,)-will collar the Massachusetts
gladiator in vindictive response; and then, in
lack of a Radical backer, Sumner will bite again.
All this will add to tho fnrions discords which
pervade the Radical camp and open up now
hopes and bright prospects to the friends of a
liberal and constitutional government.
Every day’s prolongation of this needless
extra session of Congress is fraught with deadly
mischief to Radicalism. All politicians of tho
olden time agreed that an extra session of Con
gress was death to any party. Tho absence of
a regular business routine and steady legisla
tive labor givo leisure and liberty to discord,
and tho special topics of discussion serve as
firebrands. Grant had the supreme indisoretion
protract this session by special interference,
and we think he will be likely to receive his re
ward. In his efforts to Ku-klux the Southern
people, ho will Kn-klnx his own party, and
catch a roasting himself.
The extra session has now been in existence
a little more than twenty days, and has already
done his party incalculable mischief. It has
hatched the Executive fend with Sumner into a
lively and bitter quarrel. It has bred a row of
extraordinary violence among tho administra
tion leaders in the House, followed by corres
ponding quarrels in the Senate. It has practi
cally thrown tho administration into a minority
in the House. It has weakened tho party on
every measure proposed. It has thrown an odor
of defeat, discouragement and rain on the rad
ical cause before the people, and now, finally,
it opens to-day a grand assanlt on the adminis
tration from the Ssnatorial leader of tho party.
Never were twenty days fraught with more
desperate suicidal mischief. If there had been
mnch practical sagacity in the Radical councils,
the expiry of tho forty-first Congress would have
beon hold as a great relief—a glorious oppor
tunity to interpose nine months of reflection
and all healing timejbetween a fighting temper
and a fight. Bat instead of that, Grant has
done his best to hold Congress in session, un
der various pleas of necessity, all which could
have originally been resolved into the single
pnrposo of forcing Domingo through. Ho will
catch Domingo sure enough.

a few mornings ago, leaving behind, upon the
charity of the city, a recently born infant. She
was intercepted in her purpose, however, by
some of the vigilant police, and, yesterday

she left on the cars for Milledgeville, without

when this-T rail is on its entire length, will be

T« HOUSK-The World Bays that in the

olect at least seven members, whioh will reduce
the Radical majority to fourteen, all told. The
present Democratic force in the House is 12L
the First District of Georgia.” From the News
of Saturday wo quote the following:
Maj. J. H. Gould, who has for the past two
years occupied the position of Internal Reven
ue Collector for tho Fir3tJDistrict of Georgia,
has made his exit, and departed to a more con
genial clime, loaving the United States Govern
ment, to all appearances, the loser of a large
amount of money. Mr. Gould is said to be a
native of that little patch of .ground known as
the State of Rhode Island, whenco he came to
Savannah soon after the occupation of tho city
by Gen. Sherman in J864-’65. He then en
gaged irr the ice business, and about two years
ago, through the influence of friends, succeeded
in securing the appointment of Internal Rev
enue Collector, succeeding A. N. Wilson.
Rumors have been afloat for some time past
that Gould was a victim to carelessness on his
part, while later reports state that his embar
rassment was caused by his connection with the
furniture house of Krzyzanowski & Co., of this
city, of which he was a reputed partner.
The senior partner of this firm is the Super
visor of Internal Revenue for this State and
Florida, and the author of the celebrated Kn-
klnx stories published in the New York Herald
some time since. Krzyzanowski made his mark
in Georgia by declaring that a negro was better
than a white man, which, of course, placed him
foremost in the ranks of the Radioals of the
South.
Tho fumitnre business, however, changed
hands a few days ago, neither of the former
proprietors having any further use for furniture.
Mr. Gould, whose office was in the Custom
House, continued regularly on in the discharge
of his duties, and when a redaction was made
in the emoluments of the-office by the last in
coming Commissioner of Internal Revenue, he
stated to the Collector of Customs, who occu
pied an adjacent office, that he desired the De
partment at Washington to send an inspector
here in order that he might overhaul his books,
accounts and other papers of the office in order
that he might show to the Department that it
was impossible for him to live on the present
emoluments arising from the office. According
ly, a short time since, a gentlemen arrived from
Washington to look into the matter, and he has
been examining the bpoks, etc., for some past.
Since Sunday last Gould has not been about the
office, and, upon inquiry, it was stated that he
was sick.
Oh Thursday it was rumored that Gould had
disappeared, and was a defaulter to tho Govern
ment to the amount of from $40,000 to $50,000.
Detectives and anxious (?) friends scoured the
city without finding him, and farther examina
tion proved that his family had left town sever
al days previous, and that the last seen of him
was when he was getting into a phaton for “a
little drive in the country.” The furniture in
the house on Whitfield square, in'which he liv
ed, had also disappeared. The Inspector is still
examining tho accounts of the defaulter, and in
a few days *» may expect full developments.
The Republican, of Snnday, gives the fol
lowing as the latest information on the subject:
In reference to the defalcation of the revenue
collector, there are no new developments be
yond the faets as already stated in the Republi
can. We have inquired particularly as to any
farther facts brought to light by the examination
of the books and accounts of the missing collec
tor. We aro satisfied that the collector of inter
nal revenue has gone not to return, bnt it ap
pears that Ins defalcation does not amount to
more than $30,000. His individual liabilities
may swell this amount $10,000 more.
His furniture, which was in a style of mag
nificence in disproportion to his salary, has
been token possession of by virtue of a bill of
sale, duly executed, and will be sold on the 27th
instant."'*
The special commissionerhasnotyet comple
ted an examination of the collector's books, bnt
sufficient appears to show that Gould has put
his bondsmen into pecuniary trouble, which
they cannot get out of without, satisfying the
United States government.
Now, if Gould is sharp—and being trooly
loll wo have no reason to doubt it—he will be
take himself to Now York and interview old
Greeley first, then write a long letter for the
Tribune detailing his sufferings at the bands of
the Savannah K. K’s., and how he had to fly to
save his life, and then-ho will post off to Wash
ington and have himself sworn as a witness
before the “Southern Outrage” Committee. If
he can furnish that concern with a real whop
ping blood-curdling lie—a gonuine bouncer
he is all right. He need have no fears on the
score of this little irregularity. What the Bad-
iealleaders want, now, is “bel-lud, Iago, bel-lud”
to revivify their rickety, shattered organiza
tion, and not money or punishment for those
who make way with it. ' If Gould can help them
to the former he can go somewhere else and de
fault for four times $40,000 with perfect im
punity. . . ‘

Ladies’ Spring Fashions.
On this important subject tho Herald, of
Wednesday, furnishes tho following informa
tion, editorially. The most interesting to mas
culine readers is the last paragraph:
Waterproofs, overshoes and umbrellas wore
the universal wear of tho ladies who ventured
oat yesterday to see tho preliminary display of
spring fashions in the shops. Rat the shops,
like so many hothouses, forced the senson, and,
in spite of ontside wind and rain, bloomed with
every variety of cameo shades and other novel
ties in color as well as in cut Tho cameo shades
have been decreed to be fashionable, not Only
for spring silks, but also for less costly dress
goods. On Monday, the opening day with a few
dry goods houses, many suits, each comprising
hat, saeqae and underskirt, were exhibited, in
which “the dresses are finished with trimmings
of the same color, bnt of a lighter or darker shade,
according to the taste of the wearer.” Such
are the so-called cameo suits. The color of the
gloves may match with the suit or even with
the strings of the hat, tho brightest blue
and green being admissible, although - for
evening delicate lines of yellow, lilao or flesh
color are preferred. The shops seem to be am
ply supplied with gloves, bnt those imported
from Paris must have been invoiced before the
French capital was besieged. The marqnise is
the latest style. In boots, embroidery has su
perseded rosettes and bows. The absurd attempt
to revive long trails for walking dresses has hap
pily foiled, and while the skirts are longer than
they were a few years ago, they are still bhort
enough to clear the mud of our street crossings
and the water pools of the worst and most neg
lected sidewalks in the world.
Bnt without farther entering into details with
which more than twenty thousand visitors will
become familiar on the opening day of the dry
goods stores, it will suffioe to record the sugges
tive fact that the largest proportion of the fab
rics offered for spring wear are of American
make and are comparatively moderate in price.

The fashionable world of Washington has
been in a great flutter to-day over the marriage
of Miss Nettie Chase, a daughter of Chief Justice
Chase, to Wm. Sprague Hoyt, of New York city.
The ceremony was performed by Bishop MoH-
vaine, of Ohio, in St. John’s Church, on Lafay-
otto Square, the Chief Justioe giving the bride
away. The church was superb in its floral dec
orations, and was crammed with the elite of the
town and invited guests from abroad. There
were four ushers, one being the son of Secreta
ry Fish, and another a member of the diplo.

the diplomatic oorps. Hie bridal party entered
the church with the bride leaning on the arm of
her father, the Chief Jnstioe, followed by Mrs.
Senator Sprague, the bride’s sister, leaning on
the arm of the bridegroom. The bride’s dress
was white illusion, with a veil of the same falling
over the face and around the form. The dress was
looped with exquisite white floorers and a wreath
of the same was worn on the head. The brides
maids were all dressed alike, in white French
muslin, with ruffles, trimmed with white satin
pipings, top and bottom; bodies heart-shaped,
and trimmed to correspond with the skirts.
Natural flowers in the hair, and dress looped
with white flowers. Each carried a boquet of

elegant point lace shawl draped about her white

A BOLD STROKE.
Oliio Republicans Catting Eoosc from the
Party Proper—Their Proclamation.
[From tho Cincinnati Commercial, March 22.J
We, the undersigned, members of the Re
publican party, proud of its past services in
preserving the Union, abolishing slavery, and
establishing the political equality of all citi
zens, bnt convinced that its continued useful
ness and success will depend upon its meeting
the questions of the present and the immediate
future in the spirit of justice, independence
and equality which have illustrated its progress
hitherto, have organized the Central Republi
can Association of Hamilton County for the
promotion, by our united efforts and influence,
of the following view3 and principles, which it
is our earnest conviction should be adopted by
the Republican party for its future guidance:
1. We believe the farther continuance of the
policy of disfranchisement to be incompatible
with a proper regard for the fundamental prin
ciples of Republican government and sound
statesmanship, and, while unalterably deter
mined to maintain the great results of the war, v
we insist that its enmities and resentments shall
be buried, that all remaining causes of irrita
tion shall bo removed, and that all political dis
abilities imposed for participation in tho rebel
lion shall be abolished.
2. Wo believe that to defray the expenses of
the Government, to pay the interest on the
national debt, and the principal a3 it shall from
timo to timo become due, a considerable portion
of tho publio revenues should be derived from
the duties on imports, but that suck duties
should be imposed for revenue and for no other
purpose.
We are opposed to the present system of pro
tective duties. It is UDjust and wrong in prin
ciple, and defeats its own ends in practice. It
is at war with every principle of equality and
justice on which the Republican party was
founded. It promotes corruption in legislation,
and plunder in high places. It has needlessly
and heavily increased tbecostofliviDg, crippled
oar export trado, destroyed our ship-building,
and paralyzed our industry. It has created
onerous monoplies, augmented the expenses of
collecting tho revenue, encouraged smuggling,
stimulated frauds and dishonesty in custom
‘houses, and so increased tho cost of production
as to enable foreign manufacturers to undersell
us in our own markets. Wo are willing to be
taxed for the support of the Government, but
we protest against being taxed for the benefit
of private individuals and corporations; and
wo farther protest against making the shroud of
the old Whig party the mantle of Republican
ism. We, therefore, demand that tariff duties
be so adjusted as to derive the requisite revenue
from the smallest possible number of taxable
articles.
3. We are opposed to the employment of
Government patronage for party purposea. We
belive that the maxim “To tho victors belong
the spoils” is immoral, nnwise and detrimental
to the public service, and that its tendency has
been to corrupt tho political life-blood of the
nation. Wo protest against the use of publio
offices to reward political friends or punish
political enemies, we aro in favor of an imme
diate and thorough reform of the civil service
of the Federal Government, and we insist that
the appointments of subordinate officers should
be made on tha gronnd of fitness only, with
promotions for merit and tho tenure of the
office depending on the honesty acd efficiency
of the officer, without regard to the fluctuations
of political opinions and the changes of party
relations. We further believe that party nomi
nations should bo made only when party prin
ciples aro at stake, and that the custom of ap
plying party or political tests to candidates
formerly local offices degrades the standard of
public morality, lowers the tone of political
affairs, breeds corruption and inefficiency in
office, and transfers the people’s right to chooso
their own municipal rulers and representatives
to the fraudulent lottery of caucuses and con
ventions, which, instead of facilitating, impede,
clog and obscure the expression of the popular
will.
4. We believe that an irredeemable currency
is fraght with great evil and dangers to tho well
being of the country. It causes pernicious fluc
tuations, unsettles values, destroys confidence,
and forms a dangerous weapon in the hands of
demagogues appealing to ignorance and preju
dice. With boundless resources and revenues in
excess of the expenditures of the government,
notwithstanding the fearfnl war through which
we have passed, we can see no excuse for en
dangering the publio credit by floating the bro
ken promises of the nation. We, therefore,- deem
it the duty of the Republican party to take in
itiatory steps for a gradual but certain return
to gold and silver as the only true basis of cur-
rencies.
Animated by an abiding conviction that these
views will sooner or later be vindicated by the
intelligence and patriotism of tho American peo
ple, we present them to onr fellow-citizens for
their deliberate and candid consideration.
Signed by seventy of the most prominent na
tive and German politicians in the State.

All ray Between General Slahone and
John Lyon, Esq.
From the Richmond Dispatch.!
An affray oocurred on Franklin street, near
the Exchange Hotel, yesterday afternoon,
which caused no little excitement throughout
the city in view of the prominence of the par
ties directly concerned in the railroad war just
brought to a close in the General Assembly.
These parties were General William Mahone,
President of the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio
Railroad, and Captain John Lyon, a well-known
lawyer of Petersburg.
The accounts of the encounter are rather
conflicting, and tho details cannot be given
with accuracy until the witnesses have been ex
amined in court.
The statement of the friends of General Ma
hone is that he and a friend were standing on
the Exchange Hotel corner talking, abont half
an hour after the bill abont whioh there has
been snch a controversy passed the Senate.—
They saw Mr. Lyon and two other gentlemen
coming down on the same side of the street, to
wards the Exchange Hotel, and from the direc
tion of the Capitol. Beaching the ExohaDge
comer, they turned, and Captain Lyon said,
“Good evening, General,” or something to that
effect, as he approached General Mahone' and
his friend. General Mahone replied, “Mr. Ly
on, hereafter I don’t wish yon to speak to me.
You’re a d—d scoundrel.” Thereupon Captain
Lyon struck the Genoral a pretty severe blow
on the head. It was returned. A scuffle en
sued. In the souffle a Derringer pistol in the
hands of General Mahone went off. The par
ties were then separated by mntual friends.
The friends of Captain Lyon differ from
those who furnished the account just given in
several respects. It is said by them, a3 by the
others, that Gen. Mahone and his friend were
standing on the Exchange Hotel comer. The
General was tapping the lamp-post lightly with
his cone, when he saw Captain Lyon and friends'
coming down the street. They bowed to Gen
eral Mahone and turned towards the 14th-street
entrance to theExohange, when the General
beckoned with his cane as if for Captain Lyon
to return. He did so. General Hahone’s first
words were, “Don’tyon ever speak tome again.”
Captain Lyon promptly replied in the same
tone that he never would. General. Mahone
immediately rejoined, “If you do,.you d—d
scoundrel, I —-." Before the sentenoe was
finished the epithet was resented by. a blow,
whioh was quickly returned. Almost in a mo
ment the parties clinched. General Mahone
drew a Derringer pistol from his pocket, and
seemed to be toying to cock it—the muzzle be
ing close to the breast of his opponent—when his
arm' was seized by a bystander, and the pistol
was not fired until a minute or two later. They
were then forcibly taken apart, and each escort
ed to his room by friends.
The result of the affray was not serious to
either of the participants. A few minutes after
the pistol shot the police were on the ground.
General Mahone and Captain Lyon were both
arrested by Captain J. M. Tyler, detective
Rogers, and officer Goodman. Subsequently
they were bailed to appear before the Police
Court this morning for a hearing. General Ma
hon’s bondsman is Col. Walter H. Taylor, of
Norfolk. Captain Lyon’s sureties are Major
B. H. Nash and H. K. Ellyson, of Riohmond.
The charge against both parties on the police
record is, “firing a pistol and creating a distur
bance in the street.”

Tho low pressure over the Eastern States
Saturday evening continued to prevail, with
cold noithwest winds, until Sunday morning.
The winds have abated during the day, with in
creasing clondy and threatening weather. The
area of the highest pressure has moved south
eastward, with a falling of the barometer and
light rains or snow, and is now represented by
a small area of averago pressure over New Jer
sey and Long Island. The low barometer indi
cated in the extreme southwest has moved rap
idly to the northeast, and is now central in East

funerals to the murdered Generals, and the
adoption of their children.
London, Maroh 27.—The Daily News has a
special dispatoh from Paris stating that the
elections passed off quietly and resulted in an
overwhelming communist majority. The revo
lutionary authority is completely dominant, and
the abdication of Admiral Soisset and the May
ors increases the success of the revolution,
whioh, within a week, will spread to all tho
large towns and render the position of the Gov
ernment in the rural districts untenable.
A Telegraph’s speoial from Versailles says
Genoral Leflo retires from the Ministry of War,
and will be succeeded by General Glerabault,
a returned prisoner from Germany. It is gen
erally thought that tho Government is defunct,
and a rumor is current that Thiers will be
forced to resign, and will be succeeded by Duo
D’Anmale. Thiers is reported as saying when
the Government has 100,000 truBty troops it
will attaok Paris. It is believed the Govern
ment will be moved to Tours. The- Prussian
outposts have been advanced to Vincennes. *

lector Bailey’s defalcation Is $132,000.
The House Committee, to which the Presi
dent’s message was referred, had two important
meetings to-day.
House.—The several bills Introduced will be
referred to the oommittees, when appointed.
Senate. — Sumner ocoupied all day. He
sums up: Thus stands the oase—international
law has been violated in two of its commending
rules in securing the equality of nations, and
the other providing against belligerent inter
vention, while a destructive fundamental prin
ciple of the Constitution, by winch the Presi
dent is deprived of a kingly prerogative, la dis
regarded, and this very Kingly prerogative is
asserted by the President.
This is the simplest statement Looking still
further at the faots, we see that all this great
disobedience has for its object the acquisition
of an outlying tropical island with large promise
of wealth, and that, in carrying out this scheme,
our Republic has forcibly maintained a usurper
in power that he might sell his country, and has
dealt a blow at the independence of the black
Republio of Hayti, which, besides being a
wrong to that Republic, was an insult to the
African race, and all this has been done by
prerogative alone,-without the authority of an
act of Congress. If suoh a transactions many
headed in wrong, can escape judgment it is
difficult to see what security remains—what
other sacred rule of international law may not
be violated—what other foreign nation may not
be struck at—what other belligerent menace
htay hot be hurled—what other kisalv preroga
tive may not be seized ? • • “
In the course of his speech, enlarging upon
the declaration that the President had -plaoed
himself at the head of a more powerful and
costly Ku-klux than those of the South, he pro
ceeded : Had the President been so inspired
as to bestow on the Southern Unionists, white
and black, one half the time in zeal with per
sonal attention, personal effort and personal
intercession which he has bestowed nt>on his
attempt to obtain half an island in the Caribean
sea, onr Southern Ku-klux would have existed
in name only, while tranquility would have
reigned everywhere within our borders. [Gen
eral applause in the galleries and hisses, j
The Vice-President—The Chair cannot con
sent that there shall he manifestations of ap
proval or disapproval in the galleries and he
reprehends one as promptly as the other.
[They are repeated.] The Chair must enforce
the order of tho Senate.
Sumner proceeded: Now I desire the sup
pression of the Ku-klux wherever it shows itself,
and the elevation of the African race. I insist
that the Presidential scheme which installs the
Ku-klux on the coasts of St Domingo, and
which at the same time insults the African race
in the black republic, shall be represented. I
speak now of that Ku-klux of which the Presi
dent is the declared head, and speak for the
African race, whom the President has trampled
down. Ia there any Senator in earnest against
the Ku-klux ? Let him arrest it on the coast of
St Domingo. Is there any Senator ready at all
times to seek the elevation of tho African race ?
Here is the occasion for his best efforts.
Washington, March 27.—In the case of Ge
nhers vs. Campbell, from tho Circuit Court of
Louisiana, the Supreme Court affirms the de
cree of the Court below sustaining the con
tract of a promisory note of which the consid
eration was the price of slaves purchased be
fore the war.
Synopsis or Weather statement.
Wae Dep’t, Office Chief Signal Offices, [
Washington, March 27, 1871, 7:30 p. m. )
The area of the lowest pressure which was on
Sunday evening in Kentucky, is now'over Mas
sachusetts. It has in its progress been pre
ceded by rain, snow and a brisk northeast wind.
Northwest winds, cloudy and falling weather
have prevailed to-day on the lower Lakes and
in tho Eastern States. Clear and partially
cloudy weather with rising barometer have pre
vailed from Ohio to the Atlantic. The pressure
has remained stationary from the Southern and
Gnlf States to the Ohio river. Falling barome
ter with increasing temperature and light south
east winds with clearweather are reported from
the Mississippi Valley and westward. Proba-
bilities: It is probable that the stormuow pre
vailing in the Eastern States will clear away on
Tuesday with brisk northwest winds on that
coast. Fresh and gentle winds with partially
clondy weather will probably prevail on the
Gnlf and South Atlantic, and cloudy weather
on Lake Ontario and Erie. It is probable that
another storm is approaching from the extreme
northwest.

Holden.—The Tribune reports Holden in
Washington “consulting with his friends.” He
has not yet determined what course to pursue,
but “as he claims that the two-thirds vote by
which the act was consummated is not a legal
one, itia probable that some steps will be token
to get the matter before the United States Su
preme Court. Seven of the Senators who voted
for Governor Holden’s impeachment are said
to be disqualified under the Fourteenth Amend
ment ; and, by the 15th section of the Enforce
ment Act of last year, any person knowingly
accepting or holding office under the United
States, or any State, who is ineligible under
the 3d section of that amendment, or shall at
tempt to exercise the duties of any such office,
is liable to trial in the United States courts for
misdemeanor, and, on oonviotion, to imprison
ment Of not more than one year, or a fine of
not more than $1,000, in the discretion of the
oourt. The seven ineligible Senators are nec
essary to make the two-thirds to convict on ar
ticles of impeachment. The Lieutenant Gov
ernor, Mr. OaldweU, who has beoome the acting
Executive, is a native of the State, a moderate
Republican,-but-of considerable decision of
