London, April 14.—A special from Vi
enna tol the Daily Telegraph says the re
sumption pf negqjiations relative to
a mixed occupation of Eastern Boumelia,
which stopped when the Porte proposed
that instead of mind occupation the
powerB should agree to the nomina
tion of Aleko Pacha as Governor, the
Porte agreeing to a prolongation of tho
international commission for one year
and to abstain dating that period from
utho occupation ot the points it has a
right |o garrison, have only eerved to in
crease the state of dire confuBion that
prevailed when they were suspended ago.
Germany has ihfused to send a com
mander-in-chief and staff, and it is stated
that another-power, which had a leading
part in tho whole business, has also re
jected tho offer of chief command. Bus-
sis has also raised new difficulties.
, Washington, Apiil 14.—The Depart
ment of State to-day received a telegram
from the United States charge d’ affaire
at St. Petersburg, Colonel Wickham
Hoffman, announcing that an attempt
was made on the Russian Emperor’s
life this morning. While His Majesty
was walking near tbe Imperial palace a
would-be assassin discharged five shots
at the Czir, fortunately without effect,
His Majesty being untouched. The as
sassin was arrested.
London, April 14.—'The old established
firm of Charles Gamin & Co., at No. 17
Change Alley, E. C., has failed. /
St. Pxtsbeburo, April 14.—While the
Cear was taking his usual morning walk
early to-day, near the palace, four shots
from a revolver were fired at him. The
Czar was unhurt. The man who fired
the shots was arrested by the crowd which
the firing attracted. The city is being
decorated in token of thankfulness for the
Czar's escape.
Washington, April 14.—In th3 House,
immediately after the reading of the
Jonrnal, tbe Speaker proceeded to a call
of the States, for bills for reference, be
ginning with the State of Maine. The
first response was mads by Mr. Ladd, of
Maine, who introdaoed a bill to pnt the
coinage of gold and silver on th9 ssme
footing.
A point of order was therenpon raised
by Congei, ot Miobigan, that the intro-
dustionjof bills.required ore day’s no-
tioe, and that no such notice bad been
given. • \
Toe Speaker, af.er quoting the sev
eral miss bearing on the snbject, over-
xnled the point of order.
An sppotl from bis decision was taken
by Oosger, and tbe motion to lay the
appeal on tbe table was made by Cox, or
New Tork.
The question was dobated by Steph
ens, of Georgia, who expressed the opin
ion that the deoision was clearly right
Udthat, atallevouti, the objeot of that
billoonld always be attained by present
ing a petition on the same subject—a
coorso which he himself had panned this
morning in regard to objeots of legisla
tion which he desired to promote.
Conger is now debating the question,
and tbns indirectly attaining bis object,
which is tbe consumption of the morning
honr.
The Senate, after the usual morning
bonnes?, resumed consideration of the
army appropriation bill, and Mr. Blaine
proceeded to address the Senate.
IntboHonse, after a brief argument
by Beed of Maine in support of the point
of order, and by Cox of New Tork against
it, Conger called for tellers on the motion
to lay on tbe table.
Therenpon, Mr. Springer, of Illinois,
remarking that be wished to expedite a
decision of the qneation, called for the
yeas end cays, wbion were ordered, and
on which Conger’s ludicrous comment was
that he waa glad to see that the delay
was being occasioned by tbe action of tbs
Democratic side of the House. The ap
peal waa laid on the. table—yeas 139,
nayB 75—bat the morning boar was need
up in the objection, diecnesion and taking
the vote. •
Washington, April 14.—In the case of
the New Orleans Canal and Banking
Company against the city of New Or
leans, the United States Supreme Court
to-day affirmed tho judgment Of tho Su
premo Court of Louisiana, whioh, it is
held, does not invade any right cf the
city given to it by the constitution or
laws of the United State?.
A decieion wee also rendered in the
case, David N. Barron, administrator,
vs Logan Hunton, appealed from- the
United States Circuit Coart for the dis
trict of Louisians. The conn holds that
the Circuit Court had no jurisdiction and
orders its judgment reversed and the
cause remanded to the State court from
wh cb it was UXen.
Scsanton, Pa-, April 14.—The direc
tors til the Sorau'.on Trust Company and
Savings Bank have made a voluntary as
signment to H, 8. Pierce, president, for
the benefit ot oreditors.
Cincinnati, April 14.—A special says
the planing mill of W. H. Eiffenbnrg, at
a part, and then re-easoted it, hoping to
get credit for originating it-^but this
law was pissed in time of war and signed
by Lincoln.when he had a million men un
der his control and could have controlled
the elections without any suoh aid. The
purpose of the law was to ensure fairness
in elections, and the Democrats now bore
witness to Its fitnesi for that pnrpoie by
trying to re enaot it. He derided the
idea of danger from military interference,
and said there were, only 2,977. soldiers
east of Omaha, and only 1,145 in the
Sontbern State?, abont 9 to every million
people. The Democratic ' cry of military
despotism would injure the standing of
tbe country abroad.' A European wonld
laugh at it. He knew that there was only
one soldier to every 700 eqaare miles of
territory in the South. This was not the
real issue. The ulterior purpose of the
oiher side was to prevent the general gov
ernment from being represented by its
oivil officers at tbe elections in which
it was most especially intended
and over which the constitution gave it
full control. He would not profess to
know what the President would do when
these bills came to him, but it seemed to
him that the dead heroes of the nnion
would rise from their graves If.he should
consent to be intimidated and outraged
in his proper constitutional power by
threats like these. The appropriate re
sponse from his lips would b9, "Is thy
servant a dog that he shonld do this
thing ?”
Mr. Withers, of Virginia, said Mr.
B latne’s remarks wonld not produce much
effect on either the Senate or the coun
try, It was not a question to be decided
whether there were sordisrs enough to
dominate and control elections, but
whether under the operation of the exist
isg laws, it was not possible for the exec
ntive to distribute and nse the soldiery
so as to destroy tbe freedom of elections
It was net to oonfront pree.-nt danger,
bnt to -remove from the present or any
future Pretidnc, tbe temptation, the ex
isting law wonld offer to destroy tbe lib
erties of the country and erect on the
ruins of the Bepublio a despotism sup
ported by arms.
He argued that the presenoe of troops
at the polls was incompatible with free
government, and this was the principle
or mmm
on which the pending bill was based
The Democrats did not propose to shape
their course as to what may or may cot
be the position of the President. He
should not atteu.pt to take a*uy a parti
cle ot the spinal marrow attempted to be
given to the President by the Senator from
Maine. -He would not interfere with any
agency to infnse strength to his spinal
cord.
The debate was closed by Mr. Wallace,
of Pennsylvania, who declared that the
single lfsue in (hie bill was, shall the El
ective longer possess tbe power to place
troops at the polls. Their presence, is a
menace upon the right of free el ctions.
This right is fixed and certain. It oomes
to ns from Eog!and,and is a part of our
system of laws. Its protection rests with
tbe States, and tbe Federal Government
has nothing to do with it.
After an argument of considerable
length, the Senator dosed by saying that
this legislation places a oheck on the mil
itary power In the interest of the people.
We mu3t restore the original principles
from which four years of war have di
vested the government, and bring tbe
military to a strict subordination to civil
power; permit a free system of laws to
be based upon a free ballot, and
expunge a standing nienaoe upon freo
institutions,
Mark D. Brainard, of Monlgomery.

The Board ot Supervisors of Calhoun
county, vs. W. B. Galbraith from the

pi. The court holds that since the irreg
ularities on which the county basis its re
fusal to pay its bonds were committed by
its own servants, it would be estopped
from taking advantange of them, evea if

Every native of policy is against it. Toe

comes thus to the defense of our worthy
Governor t T ■
There seems to be an organized move
ment in the State on the part of some
political aspirants and soreheads and
their sycophants fo break down Governor
Colquitt and bring his administration in
to ndioule and disrepute.
He,has been most uojostly blamed by
some for the unfortunate murder that
recently occured in Atlanta, it being in-,
siuuated that by prompt action on bis
part tho killing could have beeiLprevent-
ed, when the fact ia the Governor is in no
possible way responsible for the affair or
even blameworthy in any sense for Col.
Alston’s death. ?:!: to n*o =o\
His piety and Christian ohar&oter have
tiveu been ths enbjsotof ridicnls by some
jency-a-liners! Snch fling? sre abso
utely mean and contemptible. It is a
matter of congratulation that Georgia’s
Executive is a God-fearing man,--and
that his many and responsible dalles do
not make him forget the higher claims
imposed upon him.
Governor Colquitt is human and is
liable to err, bat tbe people of Geoigis
will never question his honesty, integrity
and Christian character, his petty ma
ligners and trsducers to tbe contrary not
withstanding.

Mrs. W. P. Hemphill, and was made
long before the days of Griffin. The
Btick is itself a real cariosity. It is
made of hickory, surmounted, by a queer
head, made of a buck’d horn, npon which
is left the first branoh dr prong. Upon
the hickory for ten or twelve inches from
the head is quaint caiving, somewhat re
sembling the carving to be seen on an

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Washington, April 12,1879.
THB Ado NX 07BB.
With the announcement of the House com
mittees yesterday came surcease of much and
varied anxiety to the Solona of that body.
Many of ibbmhad cad intimations of wh-re
they wonld prouably fall,- bnt ia the main
Speaker Bun bad kept hia counsel well,
don’t suppose there WM ever better order
observable in the House than when the list
WM.being read out—exoept on similar occa
sions heretofore—and the deoorum and co-
lemnUy manifested wti really oppressive.
As a general Ate, there wm loss outward
manifestations of disappointment and dia-
tust than marked the reading ’of a similar
iat in the 4Fth Congress, and the chorused
opinion wm to the effect that Ur. Bandall
had gotted through a very disagreeable and
delicate Job ,with remarkable success. Of
ounree there are some square pegs in round
holes and vioe versa, bnt that wm almost
inevitable. An illustration ot this recalls
itself right h-re, and for fear it will esoape
me, I record it now On the oommeroe com
mittee, Tamer, of Kentucky, who live* in tbe
diatriot of that 8te e most remote from the
ooea and guiltless of any stream sufficiently
large to float aflat boat of any aize, is given
a place, while Georgia with a seaport rank
ing third or fourth in the Booth, is withont
a representative. It seems to me that t*a-
▼annah shonld have had recognition on that
committee in tbe person of her representa
tive, Mr. Nichols. There may be other in-
staeosa of this sort but I have not the time
now to recall them
age, weights and measures; Speer, elections
and militia. Ton will remember that I pre
dicted most of these appointments and will
therefore and retend and l trust appreciate
the serene aatufao’ion with which lean now
say: “1 told yon bo.”
Whst the liemo.rats of the Seventh and
Ninth Georgia districts will think of the pro
motion of Felton—for it is that theoretical
ly, at least—*nd the very honorably placing
of Speer, I do not of coarse know Bat it
-trikss me that they will begin to wonder
why such a folly “ organized’ Democrat as
Mr. Bandall gave them th.s smick in the
lace. They must remember, however, that
the so oilled “ independent” role of these
gentlemen is only played before home audi
ences and that here in Washington they ap
pear on the board! only in the character of
“organized,” “caucus ridden” Democrats.
As such, I suppese, Mr. Bandall only knows
them, a nd consequently is bound to recog
nize and deal .with them accordingly. But
isn’t it rather carious that men who spit up
on and deBpise acd villify organization and
caucus and conventions at home, should be
so desperately anxious and exceedingly ready
to serve npon and devour the fruit grown
upon the the hateful tree at Washington
XHB BBS or 1889.
It eeema eleuer every day that tbe oppos
ing tiokets for the general ballot iu 1880 will
beheaded respectively bySimrjel.J Tilden
and Ulysses 8. Grant. I oonut this even
now among the certainties of the future and
I am equally confident that event) to hap-
iwiU steadily strengthen the conclusion
to Grant, there seems to my mind no
room at all for any intelligent dissent from
ths conclusion. As to Tilden, tbe OMe does
not present itself quite so overwhelmingly,
bnt all the sweep of all the currents is pow
erfully in the same direction. In h few
months if it gains in volume ss it has done
Utterly, tie force and volnme will be irresis
tible. This is what theaters seems to me
tossy, and in very plain words too. In con
nection therewith, I read yesterday in the
New Xork Ernes thirty-two columns of re-
poita from every State in the Union and re*
fisotirg the sentiment of nearly one 'thens
and different localities pretty evenly distrib-
ted over the whole country. The Times as
serts that these letter* come -from intelli
gent men of both parties—from lawyers,
editors, college professors, politicians, state
and municipal officers and business men, all
dusea and vocations, in abort, which give
o.porunity for familiarity with the currents
of thought and feeling. The Times con
cludes that the results “point unmistakably
to the nomination of Grant by the Bepubd-
oans, and Tilden by the Democrats.” The
figures it presents go to show that if the
nomination were to be made now, Grant
wonld carry every State «x;ept Maine, Neva
da, Oregon and poasihy California. If the
Democratic convention ;were to nominate
now, Tilden eeime cure of the votes of hot
lees than twenty-one out of the thirty-eight
States. Blaine seems seoond choice to
Grant and Thurman to Tilden, with Bayard
traveling a’ong not ve y far behind, and
Hendrioxs and Hanoock bringing up the
rear. I stick to my text. Ths two opposing
forces will be headed as above. Piorideduf
course Grant doesn’t drink himself to death
or Tilden doesn’t joinlhe majority through
the med'nm of a paralytio stroke. I also
make an additiosal prediction on private
account, viz: that Tilden’* renommatior.
w.llbe made ths pretext for the attempted
transfer of at least tome oengrtsaiocal dis
tricts in the South to the Grant camp. Al
ready I have heard ora representative from
one of them who says ha wifi not supgort
will be offset by diminished consumption,
Also speculating on the negro emigra
tion movement the Chronicle says:
A general and permanent withdrawal
-of the negroes—not from one part of the
South to another, whioh ia only natural,
but from the South outright, which
would be very unnatural—would neces
sarily be a calamity not only to that sec
tion but to the whole country and to the
world. And this for the reason that the
negro is especially adapted to labor profit
ably in tho cotton and the com field.
Man is not superior to climstio influences,
and no oonceivable development of physi
cal being or expansion of power through
machinery can ever alter this fset. The
white man under a Sontbern sun, and the
blaok man under Northern one, are alike
oontrary to nature, and alike nnder a dis
advantage, for tba same reason. What
Is to be ther future of the South, and how
tbe social and industrial relations of the
races will adjust themaelyes, are prob
lems we cannot yet be sure of; but
we may write down the law of
climate as unalterable. By the last"cen
sus the colored population exceeded the
white in Louisiana, Mississippi and South
Carolina, while in the other Southern
State* the preponderance waa the other
way, and in the border States the whiles
outnumbered the blaok* by five and ten
to one, thus conforming to this law of
climate. The movement now ia plainly
hasty, tumultuous and unwise, although
probably no expostulation can have any
effect npon it. It musk work itself out,
for however we may deplore the distress
and waste thereby needlessly occasioned,
there seems to be no remedy. Colored
labor must go, and stay, wnere it is pe
culiarly needed, however it may wander
and suffer meanwhile. That place is not
in tbe colder States, and after this rush
has spent itself, if it has not already done
so, as at present seems probable, the em
igrants wbo have not perished by their
own misfortune will probably drift back
unnoticed.
The Chronicle’s weather telegrams for
the week report Cold nights and some
heavy frosts. Drouth is complained of
in Texas. In Mobile, Alabama, there
wa3 nearly an inch of rainfall and a frost
which made some replanting necessary.
Cotton planting is finished in Brenham,

Tbe professions! politioiacs and mana
gers who think Presidential campaigns
may be carried by Etrategy and sharp
practice, are expending a great deal of
effort in the preliminary struggle for po
sition in 1880. But alter more than five
years of bitter experience the people are
looking forward to some mode of relief
from their present suffering ahd impov
erished condition. They are in no mood
for seotional disputes or for tbe revival ot
exploded issues. They want peaoe and the
restoration of prosperity, and they will
be spt to take the best means to attain
that object irrespective of the wire-pull
ers on both sides.
Tbe elections since 1874 bays shown
the Bepnblioans to be largely In a minor
ity in the country. They were defeated
in three Buooesaive contests for control of
the House of Bspresentetlves, and they
were beaten on the popular vote by more
than a quarter of a million, and rathe
Eleetoral Colleges, in 1876 for Preiident.
Notwithstanding these indisputable foots,
they are in possession of the Executive,
and they will make a desperate stand
next year to retain their hold ot it, by
tho use of the immense Federal patron
age. However mush they may be divided,
and however rival faotion* may oontend
against eaoh other, when tbe pinch oomes
they will unite solidly to keep power, and
to shat down the gates egainst exposures
that wonld inevitably follow its loss.
All tbe present indications point to the
nomination of Gan. Grant for a third
term. He is not only supported by tbe
rings that brongbt so much disgrace on
his administration, but by another cIses,
who regard the :position of tbe party‘as
desperate, and only to be saved by reviv
ing discord between tbe North and South,
and by taking a military candidate to
enlist sympathy and support on a sec
tional basis. This sobeme was initiated
when Gen. Grant went abroad, and it has
been pushed forward with artful appli
ances ever tince thin.
Tbe condition of ths organization is
best revealed tbrongh this admitted ne
cessity, by whioh all the foremost leaders
in civil life, whose services and expe
rience entitle them to consideration, and
who ere eminent for abiltty, are to be
thrust aside for a third-termer.- In mak
ing this experiment, ihe managers ap
