esys there is a feeling growing thatthsiea-

the members have came prepared to stay
longer, and the disposition is not to engage
. in any general legislation. Tt^re |s a good
deal of talk to ths effect that the differences
between the two houses with respect to
political legislation can be reconciled. The
basis of compromise suggested is that the
method of the appointment of Federal su
pervisors shall be ohanged, so that fcetn par
ties have equal reciprocity In the number
appointed, and that the number ot deputy
marshals be limited to the actual emergen

An Allrged Compromise.
A Washington special to the Detroit
Pott and Tribune, (the leading Republi-
cin paper of Uiohigan) says, “with the
•view ot arranging some basis of compro*
raise, a ooople of Democratic Senators to
day, (Tuesday) called on the members of
the Cabinet and asked their views with
regard to a proposed amendment to the
election Iswb, and requested them to find
out if it would meet the President’s ap
proval. A proposition is made that that
part of the statutes which authorises
United States deputy marshals to arrest
men at the polls on election day withsnt
warrants stall be repealed, and the
law otherwise amended to that no
arrest shall be made except upon the
warrant ot a United States commissioner,
after information shall be filed with him
by at least one person that the election
laws bave been or are about to be vio
lated. The Democratio Senators were
advised that the President would no doubt
approve snob an amendment as this, even
though it was attaohed to an appropria
tion bill. A similar proposition has been
made to prominent Republicans is the
Senate and House, and has been received
with some favor.
In case the csmpromUe is arranged, so
that the election laws are to be amended
to suit the Democrats, the Bepnblleaus
will insist upon proposing certain amend
ments also, and they will be such as the
Democrats cannot safely oppose. They will
propose to amend the laws so as to pro
hibit the use of ballots of lees than a cer
tain size and weight, and compel those
used by both parties to be of uniform size
and texture.”
It is so olearly for the interest of all
parties to provide for perfectly fair oleo
tions and returns, that it is a wonder a
sensible party man should desire any
thing else. The batteries which may
work in the party’s favor one yen’, may
be turned with fatal effect npon it the
next. For illustration, the machinery
of Federal coercion which the Democrats
now seek to repeal and the Bepnblicans are
ready to stop the wheels of government
in order to maintain, must, of necessity,
bs fiercely and righteously denounced by
every minority party in turn, and is
wholly indefensible upon any reasonable
or lawful ground. If Tilden were Presl
dent to-day, it is bardly doubtful that
the Senate of the 45th Congress would
have refused all appropriations to carry
on the administration except on the re
peal of these laws, it the Democrats had
refused to co-operate in removing them

National Quarterly Kantw,
Jauniry 1879.
Those of our friends whose mental
training requires something stronger in
the way of intellectual food than the av
erage Amerioan monthly affords, will find
in the National much to enjoy, and in
that enjoyment, havo tho additional
pleasure of feeling that substantial in
formation and lasting benefit is derived
by them, at the same time that their
tastes are gratified.
In the nmnber before ns the urtioleB
npon “Ideal Commonwealths/’ “The
Battle-fields of England and Bosnia,’
“The Development of Art,” and others
show deoided literary cnltnre and full ao
quaintacoe with the subjeotstreefed.
The fourth article npon “war indebt
edness, its limitations and dangers,'' is
one that addresses itself most powerfully
to our people. It has some strong points
that should be listened to by those at
Washington, New York and elsewhere
who have controlled the National and
State finauoes since 1865, entirely in the
interests (or rather supposed interest) of
the capitalist, forgetful of the active bus
iness man of the city or the farmer—he
that at last produces all values by the ex
penditures of time and labor npou the
fruitful soil of mother earth.
Bat onr principal object in noticing
this number of the National at this time
1b to bring beforo our readers the third
article, entitled “The condition and pros
pects of the Sonthern States,” being the
aeoond of a series under that head. The
writer is evidently a gentleman of culti
vated literary taste and a Southern man.
His fine sooial feeling and oorreot views
of Sonthern life, in the past and the pres
ent, stamp themselves npon every page
of bis work. We congratulate the read
ers of this quarter in having such views
spread before them. It is a good sign,
too. that the editors of snoh a leading
organ of Northern thought have the iade-
pendence to admit snoh views into their
ootumes. We feel it due to the writer,
after having thus endorsed him, to let
him speak to oar readers direstiy, and
we make the following extracts:
Speaking of the effects of ths late war,
onr anthor after stating that the South
had lost in the aggregate $2,750,000,000,
goes on to say:
“In view of wide extended ruin like
this, accompanied by the summary de
struction of this whole social and indus
trial system, the stupendous nature of the
task that lay before the Southern people
on their return to the pursuits cf peace
may readily be conceived.
Their previous training and habits bad
been in many respects sack as elaborate
ly to unfit them for it; and a thousand
obstacles, some inherent in the ciroum-
stsnesB of the case, others unnecesearily
obtruded by unwise legislation, confront
ed them at every step. The privations,the
Buffering, the paiafal efforts, tho constant
disappointments which characterized this
period can never be known or even ade
quately imagined except by those who
witnessed them. Men accustomed from
their earliest years to the comforts and
advantages of a life of opulent leisure,
trained in habits of profuse expenditure
and boundless hospitality, were now com
pelled, often in the decline of life, to re
nounce completely tho indulgences which
custom had rendered almost indispensa
ble. Tender and delicate women .were
suddenly forced into a stern struggle
with poverty, which not only tasked, fre
quently beyond the power of endurance,
their physical strength, but of necessity
deprived their existence of all that soft
ness and grace which had previously
been a part of their birthright. Scareely
even among the exiled nolleste of the first
French Bevolution could thero have been
a more a sadden and trying change. •
Yet, as rule, in spite of every diffi
cnlty, natural and artificial, in spite of
miegovernment and mietaxation, in spite
of much individual Buffering and many
individual failures, the great maos of the
people struggled resolutely forward to
wards the farther shore of the Slough,
of Despond”
WHAT THE SOUTH NEEDS.
“Materially,” onr author declares, “the
crying wants of the South are population
and the capital requiero to develop her
resources. The possibilities of future
greatness to the section uniting in itself
the production of the raw material and
every facility for its manufacture are be
yond conjecture.
“Untold wealth lies within sight, but
not within reach, eecuroly stortd away in
a casket which opens only to the golden
k-y of capital and this key is precisely
what the impoverished section is unable
to command. Instead of receiving any
assistance in the herculean task of self
restoration, it has suffered nnder a course
of absurd and vtcions legislation unex
ampled in any similarly enlightened age
and country. Its veins were shrunken,
its limbs palsied by want of that healthy
circulation of currency, the office of.which
in the body politic has been well compared
to that discharged in the animal system
by the ebb and flow of the blood; while,
ao far from any aid being afforded, its
every effort at relief baa been persistently
frustrated. Meanwhile, the iron hand of
protection, with its grasp on the throat
of industiy, threatens to suspend Ike
functions of life itself. • • * The
complete overthrow of. this system, to
gether with the adoption of a wiser finan
cial policy, will go far towards restoring
Sontnern prosperity.”
OBATKIO BXZTCn OF SOUTHERN LtFB.
We give one more extract:
"Let the reader picture to himself the
home of a wealthy Southern proprietor
before the late war.
Througbcut the whole establishment,
there reigned an abundance that savored
of profusion. Tne domestics might al
most literally have been said to;, tread on
each other’s heels; the stableB were filled
with pleasure horses; the board groaned
under the weight of viaads. Nowhere
was there any thought of stint or saving.
Ia no community (as has been well re
marked by an intelligent and apprecia
tive Northern critio), has there ever been
so constant and general an interchange
of civil intercourse as among Southerners
at that period. It is not only a striking
feature of their social life, but an element
of great importance in their education.
Here too, was developed in a very high
degree, among slave holding proprietors,
the old Eoglishlove of country life.
The wealth and culture of the commu
nity were not centered in the cities, bat
diffused throughout the rural districts.
In Virginia especially, this English char
acteristic was poshed far beyond the En
glish limit. Among no people, at a sim
iUr stage of civilisation, has the relative
importance of the urban element been so
small. Liberal,however,and even pro fuse,
as well, as was the style of living, there
appears in it a singular absence of osten
tation. The owner of thonaandB of acreB
and hundreds of slaves wonld, as a rule,
be attired with the utmost simplicity;
the furniture of the house would be plain,
the appointments of his table of an en
tirely unpretending description. If any
personal extravagance was visible it was
in the number and quality of his pleas
ure horses, for which the national taste
waB very strong.”
We oonolnde this cursory review of an
interesting article by the single remark,
that we regret that the editors of the
National Quarterly should have deemed
fit to interpolate a note of their own
between the utterances of oar author an
imadverting upon “the idle, dissipated,
long-haired, knife-belted slave-catching
and slave-trading whites, by no means a
small olass, and - the squalid haunts of
despairing and oppressed negro men,
women and ohildren- The condition of
these olasses constituted the dark shadow
of Southern life, which it is not pleas
ant to dwell npon, eto.”
This note, lagged in with so muoh
gusto, shows how intensely ignorant of
the Sonth and Sonthern life were those
editors themselves. Who does not know
the abhorenoe in which the negro trader
waB held by onr people, and how com
pletely he was tabooed in sooiety. More
over,does it not appear strange that Yankee
shrewdness should not be able tc compre
hend that it was to the interest of the
owner to treat his slaves well, and, in re
ality, a happier and more contented class
of peasantry never existed than our
Souther slaves? But we shall waste no
more words npon them, save toJbting to
mind the historical truism that as the
North were the first to import Africans
and inaugerate slavery, so were they the
last to oonaent to the suppression of tho
traffio in human beings.
A Projected Compromise.
There are numerous outgivings about
the probability of a compromise in refer
ence to these obnoxious laws, the repeal
of whi:h is insisted upon by the Demo
cratic members of Congress as a sine qua
non to the passage ot some of the appro
priation bills. Those laws, as a whole,
find their only possible justification or
apology in the plea that the Southern
States cannot be entrusted with the privi
leges of self-government or the common
rights of American freemen. That they
are wilfully perverse, rebellions and an
friendly to the prosperity and tranquillity
of theBepnblio.
They are based on the assumption that
affairs are in so abnormal a condition,
that the modes of procedure which se
cured justice and the public welfare for
nearly a hundred years, have become in
sufficient, and therefore the Federal gov
eminent, as to the ballot in the Statee,
must be armed with special powers of
supervision and control, and of remedial
and punitive action, which were entirely
needless in former times when people
could be trusted.
Under these humiliating pretences the
oallot ip, by these laws, placed more or
less under the control of Federal agents,
irresponsible to the people, and often, if
not always, known as aotive, relentless
and dishonest partisans, while the law
which enables theie agents to pack ju
ries for conviction, leaves their - victim*,
in great part, defenselese.
These laws strike a vital blow at the
fundamental rights of free suffrage and
the impartial administration of justice.
Their repeal or modification, therefore,
cannot be abandoned in good conscience
and with a reasonable sense ot what is
due the cause of free government. The
Democracy are struggling for the vindi
cation of great overshadowing principles,
and not for mere pique and pride of
opinion. We hope and believe, there
fore, that they will display in this mat
ter a spirit of accommodation not incon
sistent »’ith the sucoess of the objects of
tho s. i-,gle. Tne peace and prosperity
of the country are of more value than
any thing except those great principles
ot civil liberty and equal justice which
make up the value of the government.
The so-called “Republicans” bave
shown their entire readiness to put these
at hazard for iniquitous objects. Tney
were ready to begin a military campaign
to enforoe the inauguration as President
of a man not elected by the people, and
they boast that they are ready now to
run all the hazards of administering the
government without lawful appropria
tions, rather than give up laws which
enable them to exeroise a partisan con
trol over the juries and the ballot-box.
In their fierce clamor for party they have
no word or thought for the country.
Let the Democracy show a better spirit.
We in the South have bad snoh experi
ence of civil oonfliet and pnblie£disorder,
and have already made suoh concessions
for tho restoration of peaoe and harmony
that, least of all people, ate we disposed
to bs captions and exaoling. Wo deaire
every shadow removed from the upward
and onward path of the American Union,
and this can be done only by a return to
the bread, defensible and permanent
principles of free Republican govern
ment. Give U3 these in any form and we
are content. r.

We invite the careful attention ot the
reader to the communication of our corres
pondent “G,” published elsewhere. TJhe
writeris a man of mark, and well known in
judicial and legal oirdee for hie blameless
character, and as the unswerving advo
cate of tbe right in all cases. Hie thoughts
and suggestions afford muoh food for re
flection to the intelligent portion of the
community. There is a very large modi
cum of truth in what he says, and it ie
high time that the proper reforms and
remedies were instituted.
As he intimates, a sound publio opin
ion alone can accomplish tho work, and
all good citizens should resolve toaiAjn
tbe undertaking. The law most be vin
dicated and enforced, or there is no pro
tection tor human life. But the remedy
rests within ourselves.
One cf the meat eminent lawyers in the
State told the writer that the existing
statutes for the suppression of orime
could hardly be improved (upon. They
afforded absolute protection to the snb-
jeot, if properly and fairly applied. The
great difficulty in the way is Ihe situ cat
universal custom of carrying concealed
weapons. As an illmlration of the prev
alence of this cowardly habit we have only
to reoall a late incident, wbioh actually
oconrred in one of the conrts over whloh
Judge Lss:er was presiding.
Ia the midst of the proceedings the
Judge espied a pistol protruding from
the pocket of one of the auditory, aud rep
ping upon his desk, at onoo ordered a sus
pension of the oase on triaL Then, with
much dignity and emphasis, he exolaimed:
“There is a man present armed, with
concealed weapon. This is an infraction
of the law that I will not permit.. If,
however, the offender will advanoe and
deposit his pistol on this table, together
with one dollar, I will take no farther no-
tioe of the offense. Otherwise, be shall
iccar the fall penalty of the law.”
A pause ensned, when a member of the
bar arose, and, approaohlng the table, laid
npon it his weapon and a dollar. His
Honor sternly remarked that he was not
the man he had reference to. Another
ipsnse, and several more pistols and dol
Iars were deposited. Still the Judge said
the right man bad not come forward. It
was not until nineteen persons of that
Bmall orowd had surrendered their pistols
that Judge Lester, looking sternly around,
gave notice that he would allow but on*
minute more to the man whose weapon he
bad seen to deliver it up or he should fine
him a thousand dollars.
Simultaneously, with a man at hie side,
the culprit arose, and the two deposited
their pistols and the dollar required.
Thu.- - , in that email auditory no less than
ticenty*one pistols and as many dollars
were produced simply by those whose
fears caused eaoh to think that he was the
offender. How many did not respond to
the Judge’s command of course cannot be
known.
How can this evil be reached? We re
peat by a healthy pnblio sentiment on
the subject only. Let it be regarded as
a badge of cowardice and pusillanimity
to wear a weapon—let the women scorn
the man who does it—let good and brave
men eschew his society, let every dis
covery of the fact be promptly reported
aud prosecuted, and then the court in-
fiiot the extreme penalty of the law upon
the guilty party. This will go far to
bring the custom into disrepute. There
ia no other remedy. Until actually
drawn and displayed the bearer of con-
ctaled weapons is impregnable. The
constitution of the country pro
tects every ono from the indig
nity of being searched unless when
arrested under due process of law for
some crime,and men who are“walking ar
senals,” may frequent our homes and pub
lic places with impunity, ever ready on
the least provocation to imbrue their
hands in the blood of a fellow being.
Surely all should unite, to put down and
render odious this pernicious practice.
Another method would be to impose
such a tax upon the vondors of these
murderous implements as to place them
beysnd the reach of a majority of the
community. This is a mere suggestion,
which for one, we would gladly see car
ried into effect, As the matter stands, a
pistol can be bought for the merest trifle,
and half the boy s of tho schools are armed
with them and ready for mischief. Too
much cannot be said in depreoation of
this demoralizing and dangerous habit.
Hot So Baa off Alter All.
Our debt-ndden city may take comfort
by contrastingher burdens with those of
New York. The Metropolis of the Wes
tern continent has an army of twenty
thousand officials (13,000 mumsipai and
7.000 Federal) whose enormous salaries
foot up $10,500,000 per annum, or $10 CO
to each man, woman and child, exclusive
of the large amounts gobbled np for fees,
which is only another form of taxation.
The entire cost of running tbe city of
Macon, with her 15,000 inhabitants, does
not exceed $75,000 (we do not include
payments on the bonded debt), whioh
wonld amount to but five dollars per
capita: Bat it should be borne in mind
that tho New York estimate is only from
salaries, leaving out of account the many
millions paid for gas, water, hospitals,
public schools, and divers other objects
which might be enumerated. So onr
situation is not so desperate after all,
though our taxes, the license tax espe
cially, are really too heavy, and, with
proper economy, might be reduced. Let
ns take heart, then, for with a wise and
prudent administration e! pnblio affairs,
and a very small temporary increase of
taxation, to meet outstanding obligations,
there is no reason why the city shonli
not tide successfully over all her difficul
ties. What we desire most to see ia the
restoration of confidence and good will
between all classes and tho roaolute de
termination to work out the public debt
by rigid economy and self-deniaL Hap
pily, our new constitution precludes any
reokleBB expenditures on tbe part of tbe
city government, even if they were dis
posed to embark m them, and there is
no danger of running deeper into debt.
Will the Mayor and Council come up to
the full measure of their duty in the
premises and use the ntmost diligence
in behalf of our impecunious people t
We hope so, and shall see.

feet that there is no Senate Chambers,
eo nomine, in the French Capital. There
mua^ba plenty of publio buildings in that
great city applicable to- the purpose, if
they are wanted.
The establishment of the Republican
Parliament at Versailles was diotated
by i historically well grounded con
sideration .for the tumultuous vio
lence of the Paris mob. During lit
tle short of a hundred years the
Paris blouses aud sans ootlottes have oc
casionally displayed their powers of in
timidation imnanner highly unfavora
ble to independent legislation, end some
times to legislation of any kind.
It was these performances whioh tug*
gee ted the location of the Amerioan capital
outside of great cities and npon the then
wilds of the Potomac; and the reason Isa
sound one.
The French Ministry, it is said, will in
sist on n foil control of the municipal
police as a condition precedent to its ap.
proval of the measure; bat ihat may be
only snbstitntlng one mastery for another.
An armed police can boss n legislature as
well as a mob. And, beyond tbe mere
qacsticnof the dominance of either, no
donbt that minimum of outside influence
which is attained by locating the law
making power in a small plaoe, is favora
ble to the parity and independence of
legislation.
Liverpool Cotton Market.
Yesterday the Liverpool Cotton Market
was quoted as buoyant, with middling
uplands at 5 13.16, and sales of fifteen
thousand bales, and four thousand addi
tional after the regular dosing of the
market on Friday. This makes an ad
vance of five-sixteenths in Liverpool
during the Ootton week. This advance
is due probably to the shortening reoeipta
at the Amerioan ports, which havo been
falling off for several weeks. For tbe
week which ended Friday night last, 21st
instant, the falling off, as shown by the
New York Cotton Exchange figures,
was 18,272 bales. This decrease on the
receipts of last year, was doubtless unex
pected, and is leading to a modification
of crop estimates. Thepreaent excess over
last year is already lvss than the differ
ence in visible supply, and with ajpuent
possibilities of seme general revival of
trade may work a restoration of prices to
where they stood at this time last year,
At any rate, it u good to see some life in
the old staple, though it will work little
benefit to this part of the country.

A DISEASE THAT WRECKS THE
SYSTEM.
Every function is deranged, every
nerve unstrung, every muscle and fibre
weakened by fever and ague. Ic is, in
fact, a disease which if unchecked, even
tually wrecks the system. Ia oil its
types, ia every phase, it is dangerous,
destructive. Stupor, delirium, coavnl-
eione, often attend it, and cause swift
dissolution. Bnt when combatted with
Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters its foothold
in ths system is dislodged, and
every vestige ot it eradicated. That
benign anti-febrile specific and preven
tive of the dreaded scourge is recognized
not only within our own boundaries, but
in tropio lands far beyond them, where
intermittents and remittents are fear
fully prevalent, to be a sure antidote to
tbe malarial poison and a reliable means
of overcoming disorders of the stomach,
liver and bowels, of whioh a vitiated tor
rid atmosphere and brackish miasma-
tainted water are extremely provocative.

Landtag with the right of initiative and
representation in the Bnndearatb. Harr
Sohceegans deolared that Prince Biema.-k,
who is the responsible minister of the
present Beioheland, lived too far away.
He said the people of Alsaoe and Lor
raine were exposed to countless grievan-
03s from the complex bureaucratic ay §*
tem now prevalent. Ihe preaepce of the '
Lord Lieutenant asd Secretary nf State
in these provi&oes did not divert B;am arok
ot responsibility, and official frlotion
in each | > c-ae would take pi «
oontinually. They wanted . the right
man in the right place. Under the pies-

says Prince Bismarok’s speech was diB-
of concession. He said Ihe remarks of
Herr Schnaegana bad made favorable im

better had not bis peroration oon’ained
an appeal to Paris which eonld find no echo
in Berlin—an appeal whksa pictured At
sace and Lorraine as neutral territory, to
which the claims of France wonld ba as
justifiable as those of Germany. Prinoe
Bismarck continuing, said, “I only state
what I have interceded successfully for
with the Emperor, and hopefully with
the Bnndearath. In all that we concede
in the way ot automony we mnet consider
tbe safety of the Empire, not only in
quiet times like thq present, but also in
less peaceful. I have begun to question
whether it is right that to my other da-
ties as Cbanoellor, I should add
those _ of Minister of a oountry
of a million and a half inhabitants. I
consider it indispensable to the country
that it should have a solid social and
political basis, and officials through whom
the chief power in Berlm.may have inter
coarse with the people. I am in lavor of
the appointment of a Stadtholder, with a
responsible ministry, as in the Giand
Dnchy. The military security will re
main as before in the hands of the Em'
pire. The qnestion as to the sepa
ration Of Alsace from Lorraine should
remain open. Perhaps AUooe would be
more rapidly and solidly organized, if it
did not remain homogeneous with Lor
raine. Finally the good sense of the pop
ulation of Ale ace would work against the
Parisians, between Jwhom and French
men there is a wide distinction, who re~
main in Alsace. If Germany was quiet
and had patience, this German yoke, for
merly pulled down by the French and
nowpioppedupby the Germans, would
regain its strength. Lst us see that it
does.
The speech was loudly applauded
throughout the House.
■Washington, Maroh 22. — The two
committees appointed by tne Hon*e and
Senate Demostatio oanonsses to make re
commendations oonoerning the order of
business for tbe extra session, held a
joint meeting to day pf five and n half
hours’ eontinnons duration. There were
present Senators Thurman, Whyte, Xer-
nan, Sanlabary, Jones of 'Florida, Vauoe
and Bailey, and Representatives Gbalm-
ers, Carlisle, Cox of New York, Ewing,
Springer, Tnoker, Atkins, Clymer, Rea
gan, Btoknell and Phelps. Senator Thar,
man preeided.
The first question discussed was wheth
er the political legislation desired by the
dominant party in Congress shonld be ef
fected by the passage of Beparate meas
ures or by the incorporation of repealing
clauses, etc., in the appropriation bills.
Nearly every one present partioipatea in
the disenszion. It was finally determin
ed that the latter eonrse would be most
expedient, especially for the reason that
it seemed likely to save time, there being
a general desire to finish the necessary
business of tho session at as early a day
03 possible. The determination was
reached by a vote of 13 against 5—two
Senators aud three Representatives vot
ing in the negative.
The next question considered was
whether the political portions of the ap
propriation bills shonld now be passed in
the same terms in which they were pass
ed at the last session, or whether tbe re
pealing clauses in regard to Federal elec
tion laws should be modified so as to re
peal only those sections which authorize
the appointment of chief supervisors and
deputy marshals for elections, together
with the sections conferring police pow
ers on supervisors, thus continuing the
authorization for the appointment of two
supervisors of different politics to serve
in a testimonial capacity at each poll,
and as witnesses at the count of votes.
After an exhaustive discussion it was
decided to recommend the adoption of
the modified proposition above described,
The vote was 14 against 4, there being
two Senators and two Representatives in
favor ot a total repeal. Tho joint meet
ing then authorized Senators Thurman,
Saulsbnry, Bailey and Kernan, and Rep
resentatives Chalmers, Springer, Car
lisle and Atkins to formulate provisions
in accordance with this decision in re-’
gard to election lawe, and also provisions
for the total repeal of jurors’ test oath,
and the existing authorization of tho
presence of troops at the polls, for incor
poration in tho legislative, executive and
judicial and army appropriation bills, to
gether with sueh additional provisions aB
they may deem nececeary to secure free
and fair elections for Representatives
and delegates to Congrees.
They were also especially authorized to
consider tho propriety ot framing a sub
stitute for Bection 5522 of the Revised
Statutes, which prescribes penalties for
violations of the election laws.
. Springer’s proposition to prevido, in
adaition to the repeal of the law concern
ing the presenoe of troopB at the polls,
for the enactment of the existing English
statute of George II on ths subjeot, was
very favorably received, aud the joint
sub-committee will probably recommend
its adoption. It prohibits any soldier
stationed within two milea of any voting
plaoe from leaving- his quarters on elec-
tions days, except to relieve guard or to
go to the polla to vote, aud requires him
in the latter case to return to his quarters
immediately afterwards.
The] oint sub-oommittee will meet at
three o’clook Monday, and expeoi to re-
port to another joint meeting of the two
caucus committees -on Tuesday. After
appointing this sub-oommittee, iho joint
meeting to-day proceeded to consider the
question whether the legislation of tho
present session should be striotly confin
ed to the appropriation bills, inolnalng
the measure above indicated, or whether
general business shonld not be transacted
by either Honse when not engaged cn ap
propriaticn bills. A deoided majority of
the Senate oanons committee tavored
the restriction of the bnsiness of the
session to the appropriation bills and
to the enactment or what is
known as the “Yellow Fever Biti.” A
majority, but not a large one, of tbe
House Committee, insisted that oppor
tunities for transacting general business
should be improved, without, however,
prolonging the session after the appro
priation bills Bballbave been disposed of
Finally, it was decided to report a, disa
greement on this subject to the joint
cauensss, and leave the settlement of tbe
question to the Democratio members of
both Houses. Tha meeting of the joint
caucus will probabiy be held Tuesday
evening.

THE AFPLRTWN HOHE CASE.
A Homeless Isfey Claim** After
Nine Years ef Abandonment, and
■rongSt to tbe Brisk *t Shame.
A case of nnntusl interest has recently
occurred at the Appleton Home, situated
in tbi: city near Tatoall squire. The
faots in the oase have been known to us
for some time and their publication only
delayed on account of the peonliar state
in wbioh the affair was.
Some nine years ago a lit le wait was
sent to the Homs from Angnt’s.. Her
parentage wag not definitely known, and
it was evident thet the mother of ihe lit
tle blue-eyed strarger intended to aban
don it forever. Tne little one grew into
girlhood and was just budding into wo
manhood, para in heart and mind from
the hallowed associations of the pLoe,
when the awakening name.
Lorena Goulding is her name, and
from a little blue-eyed beauty of seven,
she became a flaxen-haired lass of six
teen, possessed of rare beauty and loved
by all. The time had nearly come for
her to leave the institutioa and co into
tho world and earn her own- livelihood.
Sjine time since a new actor came oa tbe
scene ia the person of a woman, origi-
nail v from Augnata, whose life was not
above reptcaob. She hailed from At
lanta, and on the police dockets of that
city are charges againBt her dating buck
for years, charges whioh shall bs name-
Isas here.
This woman, who is now no longer a
public character, but who lives in seclu
sion with one in relations Lot sanctioned,
laid claim to the little waif, and in some
way or other opened communication with
Lorena in the Home. She told Her that
she was her mother, and the revelation
was accepted, and a deaire ripening into
an anxiety filled the girl to leave the
Home and go to tbe woman who claimed
to ba her parent.
She presented proofs of her identity
not to be doubted, and the battl- over
the possession of the charge then - began.
One of the conductors on the Central
road was requested to bring the girl to
Atlanta, and wae 'supplied with money to ’
pay her fare.
He innocently applied for her, but
was informed cf tbe plo; !o drag her
from heir bosom of aeeurity and punty to
another life, and he washed his hands of
the matter. The woman then made a
demand for the girl. This was resisted
by the Matron of the Home. In h<r de
mand she claimed that the father of the
child was a gentleman in Acgnsta to
whom she was married. That it was
inconvenient for her to care for her and
she henoe confided to the keeping of the
Home the innooent little infant. She
now is in such a situation as will al
low her to take charge of the girl
aud was determined if baffled, to make
her demands through tbe oourts. The
authorities of the Homo consulted the
ablest legal talent at hand.
The terms of tho law were inexorable ;
the parent is the custodian of tbe child.
Being impossible to detein tbe little waif
longer'in tbe hospitable and happy halls
ot the Home, tearfnlly and prayerfully
she was ooneigned to the keeping of her
worst enemy, (shame that it Bbonld be
ao 1) her mother.
She wsa carried to Atlanta by tha
mother, and her life, ao young, so besn-
tifnl, so fall of promise and joyoua hope,
seemed about to be devoted to degrada
tion and shame-
The Episoopalians of Atlanta have,
however, taken an aotive part in the mat
ter since she has been there, and a
telegram from R»t. Mr. Fonte, of tha
olty, announces that she has been taken
from the keeping of her mother, and ia
now in tbe hands of friends who will care
for her.
The full particulars of the rescue have
not reached our city, but it is presumed
that the arm of ths law has been inter
posed. Singular enough it wifi xeem,
when it is known, that tbe gir), reared in
a pare and refining atmosphere, who has
been fnlly informed of the character of
her mother and the life she l-ads, is still
willing to go with her to reside.
The case has exoited great interest in
all who bave heard of it. The legal fight
is by no means over, and further develop
ments in the case will be watched with *
interest. The Appleton Home is one of
the best institutions of itBlind, and is an
honor to our city and a monument of
praise to him by whom it was founded.
A leading Republican paper remarks
that the Senate has appointed its com
mittees in Euch a way as to indicate that
the Democrats expect to loee their ma
jority in Iwo years. ’ The .same sagacious
authority, might, with greater truth,
have said that tbe minority in the Sesata
have,hot yet been able to see tbat they
have lost control of that body.
It is impossible to diminish poverty
by multiplication of effects; but the best
