The Passion Ami— Moustmg up.—
Commissioner Bentley, says eWorld dis
patch, is already foretelling serious evils to
come from ths Arrears of Pensions bill pis
sed by the late Cor gross. He says he has
reoeived 7,000 new applications and thinks
that the total of new names that will bo put
upon the roll will greatly exceed tho addi
tions made by the act of last year relating
to the veterans, of the war of 1812. There
were 18,000 of Ihoso, and if the Commission
er ia right there will needs be a heavy defi
ciency In next winter’s Appropriation bill to
nuke np the payments dae pensioners now
on the rolls and those to come. The last
House appropriated $25,010,000 to pay those
on the roll at the time of the passage of the
act. The new law has also called upon the
offcolor more clerical force than it has at'
its ccnimand and will necessitate the employ
ment of twenty-five or thirty more men
More room is also noeded and the lower
story of the ‘Boss Shepherd' building under
the present effios has been rented that the
claims of the newly-discovered maimed and
disabled may be properly attended to.
Cmu Blanks Taounus nr New Haven.—
On Saturday Judge Choate, Un the United
States District Court granted a warrant o*
attachment against the property of the New
HaVen Steamship Company, a New England
oo-operation, in behalf of Charles M. Cooper,
a negro,and under the Civil Bights set of 1876
Cooper, who waein court yesterday, was
well dressed and respectable in appearance.
Ho came to this city from New Haven on
the oompany’s steamer Continentalfon Febra
ary 14. A first- class ticket was sold him en
demand without any hesitation, and, acting
upon the privileges which it waa supposed
to secure to him, he entered the restaurant
of tho steamer and taking a spat at a table
called for his dinner. There were but few
persons in the saloon at the time, but the
waiter, himself a negro, was above solving
one of his own raoe and notified the white
Steward, Gordon S. Goit, of the presence of
Mr. Cooper. Ooit atopoe said to Cooper,
•Yon can’t eat at the first table on this boat.
The colored man must go.’
•But,* runonstrated Mr. Cocpsr, <1 have a
flrst-aiase ticket and am entitled (a my place
here.’ And furthermore he explained that
he waa not wen and was faint for the want of
food. When the steward, Colt, again Insis’ed
that Cooper‘most go,’Mr. Cooper insisted
more strenuously on his civil rights until at
he now claims the watohasaa of the boat
was called to lend a hand with the steward
to eject him. He was shouldered upon Ihe
deok and left some time in the span ,ir be
fore bis hat was brought to hint, and then
the dialog-room door was locked upon him.
The ease will be tried soon before Judge
Cbos'.e. The penalty of the offense charged
is a fine of from $59 to $1,090 and impris
onment for thirty days, in addition to $590
dimages which the offender is liable to pay.
, The Power Over the Parse.
As exchange commenting on the issue
of the called session of Congress, says it
is customary with American statesmen
and American lawyers to search for anal
ogies between the practice of this and
the mother country, and the oftener
these analogies are found and followed
up the better, we think, it has always
been for the people and their constitu
tional security.
Since 1678 the lower house of Parlia
ment has maintained exoluBive control
overall bills relating directly or indirect
ly to the subject of revenue. Up to 1832
the CougresB of the United States seems
to have acquieeced it. the same or similar
doctrine. In that year a proposition of
Mr. Clay’s, looking to a new departure,
gave rise to an animated diecussion, and
we find that Secatots Dallas, Tazewell,
Chambers, Dickerson, Silsbee, Freeling-
buysen, and Webster, maintained that
all money bills must originate in the
House, and that the proposed legislation,
i. e., the abolishment of certain duties,
was "purely a question of privilege, and
the decision of it belonged to the House.’’
This is the language of Mr. Webster.
The same principle was discusssd again
in 1833, when Mr Berrien and Mr. Ben
ton held the position which is supported
by the House to-day, and a vote vindi
cated the stand. Ic 1855 the subject
was again agitated. Messrs. Hunter,
ToombB, and others—names through
which the Republican Senators will re
fuse to derive any comfort—occupied the
position in the thirty-fourth Congress
that Mr. Sherman and others held in the
forty-fourth; while Messrs. Seward and
Sumner stood where the Democrata do
to-day.
The following significant language of
John Sherman while in Congress forcibly
illustrates the maxim, tempoba hutantub
XT NOa XOTA11UB IS XU.IS :
"These provisions, L e., ofthe Consti
tution, were designed to invest in thiB
House the entire control over the public
purse; tho power to supply. This is in
vested in the House of Commons, and
has been jealously guarded by it. Itie
the pearl beyond price, without which
constitutional liberty ia England would
have long since fallen under the despot
ism of the crown. The Senate has been
gnilty of an invasion of our principles.
When we send bills there they are re
turned to U3 loaded down with amend
ments for the very sums which we refuse
to give.”
It was not p- :< <’iple, but party policy,
that inspired > i., opposition of the Senate
to the bills originating in the Houbo. It
was not'that tbe Uou-e was contribnting
to delay the consummation of public
business, hut the Senate met every ad
vance with a fresh obstacle, and every
affirmative action with a negative vote.
We see bHt one line of conduct for the
House dqring this new seesion, and that
is to fight it out—even if, ia the language
of Gen. Giant, "it takes all summer.”
The New Hampshire Senator-
sbip.
By our noon telegrams it will be seen
that the Democrats are making a vigor
ous fight over the seating of Mr. Charles
H. Bell, of New Hampshire, recently ap
pointed by tho Governor of that State to
fill the vacancy caused by the expiration
of the term of office of Senator Ward-
leigb. The report of the Committee of
Privileges and Elections is strictly parti
san, the majority of the committee being
Democratic and Mr.Bell being Republican,
the report is sgainst him. The grounds
taken by ths committee are that no va-
canoy which can be constitutionally filled
by the Governor’s appointment exists,
and that such a vasancy'muat be created,
after due election of a Senator, by his
death or other equally summary cause
for the vscancy.
The Republican Senators’conterd that
an original vacancy can be filled by auch
appointment, and claim a large number
or precedent cases to sustain their view
of the matter.
The ease presented is one of interest,
and affects the Democratic majority in
the Senate to the extent of one vote. The
questions involved will be thoroughly
investigated by both parties and a prece
dent established which is to stand for the
future. It is a situation whch will not,
however, recur very often, and so the
result will hardly be as valuable for the
future n3 it will bo in its effects at the
present time.
Wtrere the Ifunds Came From.
Mr. Gorham, who has but lately
emerged from the harness of his official
position, in which position he had the
amplest opportunities for being thoroughly
posted on all the inner workings of the
late Congressional canvass, boa been
called upon to testify as to where the
funds of the last campaign came from
which were so lavishly used by the Re
publican party. From the synopsis of
hi3 evidence before the Senate committee
on frauds in the late elections, we judge
that the examination to which Mr. Gor
ham was subjected wa3 thorough and
complete. Hie answers have about them
a good deal of frankness, 'and the items
show where the cash came from and
where it went.
That the contributions from the officials
and employes were entirely voluntary
will be hard to believe implicitly. The
balk of the fands were bled from those
officials, the female employee, to the
credit of these "tax gatherers” be it said
only being exempt. The disbursements
will be read with interest. . ‘
The most striking item is that pud to
speakers “for their expenses.” *Oratory in
this magnificent land of onrs is cheap at
the rates paid for it by the Sepnbliean
campaign managers, only $1,500 being
put doffn as the slice awarded to the
noble band who stood ready and’ did do
deeds of woidy valor for the Repnblioan
party in the recent struggle, cut of a Sam
total of one hnndred and six thousand
dollars. •
It will be remembered that Mr. Gor
ham was particularly active In his move
ments in the last campaign,using as an ar
gument that the"revolntionary expulsion”
of President Hayes was one of the con
summations devoutly wished by a Demo
cratic Senate, and so partisan were his
actions in the canvass that they have
recently formed tho subject of debate in
the Senate. *
Eh gentle removal from office by the
body that was to-have entered upon im
mediate revolutionary measures ia more
than ever to be applauded in the light of
his testimony, published to-day.
The taking of testimony will be con
tinued at Philadelphia next Friday.

Distressed Gloucester,
Mayor Williams issued on Saturday
the following appeal:.
The recent appalling calamity, invol
ving the loss of 140 able bodied men, to
gether with thirteen vessels of onr fish
ing fleet, occasioning 67 indigent widows
and 150. orpbans, has suddenly fallen
upon pur already depressed oity. An
avalanche of grief and destitution has
ooma_ upon many et onr families with
erushing violence. We therefore feel
compelled, though reluctantly, to appeal
to a generous public for aid by contribu
tion of supplies, clothing, groceries, mon
ey, or whatever each may have at Hand,
for the relief of-the suffering poor.

Tbs Appropriation Bills.
Tfae.latest congressional reports lo ns
by the wires, contained in the noon tele
grams, indicate that the introduction of
the appiopiiation bills will take plaoe in
the Honse to-day. The Democrats de
sire afinal conference, in which to defi
nitely settle what line of policy fa to be
followed, what measures to be deter
mined npon, and. what positions to be
maintained. The indications are, that after
some slight vasoillation, the Democrats
will seek to maintain the political legisla
tion which failed at the lost session. The
two committees of ths Honse and Senate
have at last oome to an agreement, and
this agreement does not very materially
modify or vary the legislation desired to
be enacted at tho last session of the For-
tj.ft'th Congress, by the Democrats.
If the recommendations of the two com
mittees acting jointly are followed, the
repeal of the law authorizing the pres-
sence of troops at the polls will be insis
ted on in an amendment to the army ap
propriation bill, the juror test oath will
be sought to be abolished through the
medium of a repealing clausa in the exe
cutive, judicial and legislative bill and
the provisions in regard to the empanel
ling of jams be substantially re-intro
duced. The joint committee make sev
eral other recommendations, bnt these
are the most important. Onr night tele
grams will probably bring the' news of
the final action of the conference and
and then it can probably be seen wheth
er the contest, which is to follow, will be
long or short, and the extent to which it
willba carried.
The weight of opinion throughout the
Democratic press is that, while preserv
ing an attitude of moderation, no con
cession of principle should be made.
The course of the Demoeraoy in the
past, by whiobj by alow steps, it is tine, it
has gained the height of its triumphs,
warrants the indnlgenoe of the belief thst
such oonnsels will now prevail ss will in
sure aviotory for its. arms. Bnt what
ever attitude is assumed it should be .bold
ly maintained. No position should be
taken until tho field is fally viewed, and
every oontingenoy thoroughly weighed,
and then held, for not only is it tree that
the woman who heBitates is lost, bnt the
political party that hesitates to maintain
a bold, progressive measnre shows an in
ternal weakness whioh will proves its irre

Why New Orleans has Yellow
Fever.
New Orleans Timei-j
Tho Locust Grove cemeteries—num
bers one and two—occupy two squares
of gronnd between Sixth and Seventh,
Locnct and Willow streets, and front on
Sixth street. The neighborhood is com
paratively thickly settled, especially on
the northern and western sides of the
cemeteries. The residents complain of
tho cemeteries because there constantly
arises therefrom an abominable stench
whieh pervades the atmosphere, forces
itself into the dwellings near at hand,
and, in addition, attracts swarms of flies,
which, after feasting in the graveyard,
come into the sleeping and dining rooms
of the houses.
These cemeteries are the barial ground
ef several distinct classes of people; the
dead from the parish prison are buried
there; the dead from the boy’s honse of
refuge, from the city insane asylam, from
the home for the agea and infirm, from
the smallpox hcepitsl, and from two or
three institutions for the colored people,
all the pauper dead of the city, and tho
dead bniied by the two coroners, all the
coroners’ cases and -the indigent dead
from Algiers, and all pcor non-Catholic
white and colored people whose friends
cannot pay for A better place, are there
rammed and jammed np together nntil
not an inch of ground is unoccupied.
Thus, it ia seen, these two small grave
yards are the only places of interment
open to the dead of about 60,000 persons,
among whom, for seval causes, the mor
tality is very great.
Yet, although the two yards are filled
to the very gate?, the interments con
tinue as rapidly as ever. To make room
for the new oorpses the oldest denizens of
this city of the dead must be dug up and
need to assist in oovering others in torn.
It is calculated that in eight or nine
months at the farthest both oemeterieB
are completely renewed; accordingly, now
the lime has oome for the resnrrection of
the viotima of the la t epidemio.
Killed by His Twin Brother.
ChattanoogaTimesL
We received intelligence yesterday of
a terrible and sad affair that occurred be
tween two brothers at Rogersville Junc
tion, Grainger county, Tennessee. It
appears, from onr information, that two
twin brothers, named Light, were in the
woods near the Junction hewing wood.
In the midst of their work a dispute
arose between them, when one word
bronghc on another, nntil they finally
came to blows. They were both very
passiori‘e. One of the brothers, during
the qn ■ rel, raised his ax as if to strike,
thereupon tha other, in a heat of passion,
Btmck bis brother en the head with a
heavy suck, and he expired in a few mo
ments. After his brother had died, the
murderer saw what his passion had ear
ned him to, and he is now almost insane.
The mother ef the yonng men, who is n
poor widow, is sow at death’s door,
stneken by the sorrow which her sons
have brought over her head. It ia • verj
sad affair, and is deplored in that section.
The yonng men were about 21 years of
age, and were noted for their gentle
manly habits and for their affection to
their mother.
Famine Alone tbe Nile.
Tha aooonnta of a famine in Egypt
continue to be very sad. The inhabi
tants along the valley of ihe Nile are per
ishing from hanger like dogs. The fam
ines are liable to occur at periodical inter
vals, generally in about every seven
yean, when, from some unknown cause,
the Nile fails to give to the earth its
plant pabnlnm; and falling crops causa a
soaroity in the land. The present famine
is of nnnsnal severity, and if some of the
oivilised powers do not .taka steps for
the relief of the Egyptians there seems
to be no help for them. The resonroes
of th9 natives appear to be entirely ex
hausted. • -
Telegraphic Progress.
Tae British have concluded a contract
withthe Eistern Telegraph Company for
wire communication with Sontb Africa,
the Toute being distinctly set forth in onr
noon telegrams. This will make another
metaile vein reaching into a territory
hitherto unexplored by the eleetrio cur
rent under the control of man. Thus
these arteries of- progress are being ex
tended over tbe enrfaoe of the earth.

tlement ot the lawyers’ fees

r-xplaining that he did not understand
that tbe resolution was lo pay. the $1,500,
but to offer it as a settlement, and did net
see why these'lawyers should be made
the preferred creditors ot the city, espe
cially as they had not asked it. The
resolution waa' read, when Alderman
Corpnt called on Council to either ratify
or reject his action in this matter. A
vote being taken tbe action or the Mayor

which Aldarman Hendrix is chairman,
reported they had rented the Park lands
to Mr. C. H. Freeman, and submitted a
contract which waa accepted by. Council,
and, on motion, tbe Mayor was authorized
to sign the tame.
Alderman Corpnt introduced the follow
ing resolution, whioh waa adopted:
Whereas, Owing to the decline in value
of property, and the fact of onr power of
taxation being limited by law to one per
cent, on all personal and real estate, we
recognize the fact that the amonnt so
collected !ia insufficient to meet
tbe maturing bonds and due oou.
pons of tbe funded debt of the
oity ef Macon—knowing the city in every
way solvent and perfeotly able to pa; her
just debts, yet believing that it must be
readjusted before that confidence which
is so necessary to a city's credit can be
restored, and believing this end can best
be arrived at through the appointment of
a committee, whose duty it shall be to
give this matter a tboroogh and deliber
ate inveetigation, reporting to this Coun
cil such a plan as in their opinion will be
practicable and meet the present emer
gency, therefore ha it
JReselved, That the Mayor appoint a
committee of three, who shall investigate
the preeent financial condition of the
city, and report to this Connell a plan for
the readjustment of the bonded debt
and the retirement of our city enrrenoy.
Resolved farther, That this committee
be empowered to request six citizens of
Macon to co-operate with them and aid
them in arriving at an equitable baBia
for said readjustment.
The Mayor here gave notice that in ac
cordance with tue above resolution, be
would appoint this committee at the next
regular meeting.
The Mayor gave notice that he had or
dered an election for an Alderman in the
Third Ward, and appointed the following

The Catheilo mission.
The exercises cf tho Mission of the
Bedemptorists, now taking place at St.
Aseph’e Church, are attracting a large
congregations. List night Rsv. Mr.
McLaughlin, of St. Louis, preached
very powerful sermon npon an "everlast
ing hell-fire.” His text was taken from
the 9.h chapter of Mark, commencing at
the 431 and continuing to the 50:h
verse, where the Saviour repeats six
times that "the fire of hell i3 not
quenched."
The speaker gave inatancea from the
history of every nation, even tha heathen
and Iadian, showing that they believed
in an everlasting punishment.
He recited from many of the prophets
in the old testament verses whioh de-
elared that there was a burning hell, and
the declarations of Christ to tho same
purpose, "Depart ye wicked into ever
lasting fire,” etc.
The speaker did not think that God
conld be jnsi unless there was a place of
future punishment; that the punishment
was not not in this life. He pictured the
torments of the place in the moat terrifio
manner, where thirst, hunger, pain, des
pair and tho bnreing of tho damned is
perpetual, for the Lord deolared, “For
every one shall be salted with fire, where
the worm dieth not. and tha fire is not
quenched.”
Tbe rtverend speaker has a splendid
voioe, an attentive delivery and is a very
clear elocutionist. He speaks extempo
raneously,' and with a groat deal of
finenoy and animation. His sermon
showed that he is a fine scholar and
well versed in ancient history. His dis
course, though upon an awfnl enbjeot,
was very iostraotive, and made a pro
found impression npon many present.
To-day tho services wilt begin, sb usual,
with the early mass at 5 o’clock, st
which time a sermon will also be de-
livered. At 8:20 o’clock there will.be a
sermon on tho oommsadmenta of God.
At 3 o’clock in tbe afternoon the on-
married ltdiea of the congregation are
requested to attend a apeoial lecture.
Single ladies of other denominations are
ako invited.
At half past seven o’clock this evening a
discourse will be delivered on the "Ne
cessity of Confession.” Those who do
not belong to the (Jatholia faith will have
an opportunity of learning the reasens
why Catholics go to confession by attend
ing the services and listening to the dis
course of this evening.
Macan Bands.
In spite of the ery that the city ia fi
nancially a wreck by many of the die
contents, Macon aeenritles are appreciate
ing, and that at a rate whioh is gratifying
to all who take a pride in onr fair oity,
her good same and her credit.
For some days past there b&3 been a
steady upward tendency in her bonds
andda^bafore yesterday a traneaction
of $2,000 was made on a basis of sixty
cents on the dollar. This was an ad
vance of several cents over any figure
reached in months before. Those who
heard of it thought that it waa perhaps a
sporadic case which oonld not he taken
as an indication of the price ot Macon
bonds on the market.
Yesterday, however, a transaction
away np in the thousands took place at
sixty cents, asked and taken. The trade
wss a bona fide one and was for more
than fifteen thousand dollars. The
bears in ths market were compelled to
fall back before the horns of the balls.
This transaction will tend to strengthen
the city’s credit, especially in view of the
fact that the Council is taking active
steps towards funding its bonded indebt
edness.
French Destitution.—The cry of disj
titntion from the French spinners and

vations by the recent redactions in wages
will soon wait on the authorities. The
outlook for the lower classes, both in

no immediate prospect of brightening.
