The members of No. 6 are warming
op to fever heat over the prospective trip
to Griffin. They want to stand np to
their record. The firemen and citizens
of Griffin are making great preparations
for their reception.
The following from the Griffin News
wiU show what is being done. The
Griffinites never do anything by halves:
The preparations for the appropriate
celebration of the anniversary of onr Fire
Department are rapidly taking shape,
and it is not too mnch to say that the ap
proaching anniversary in point of pleas
ant ebseivance will far surpass any in
the history of the Department. Not the
least of the features of the day will be
the grand banquet on the evening of the
Cth of May, in honor of the visiting fire
men. Fully 150 ladies of the city have
signified their intention of contributing
to the feast, and we are satisfied all of
onr citizens will be prompt in response to
any calls made on them.
The Fire Department had a meeting
yesterday afternoon, taking into consid
eration those preparations. Chief Little in
the chair. Among other things a com
mittee of arrangements from the ladies
were appointed with the request that they
kindly assist tho similar committee of

gins on the 10th of May. Ic is thought

The Chester Trades Cap, whiob will
be ran for oa May 7th at the Chester
meeting, appears to bs entirely at the
mercy of Parole, as the tnms in the
course will be to the manifest benefit of
his fine speed.
Parole may be looked forward to as a
certain competitor for the Goodwood Cup,
which race takes place on July 31, and
for which, in addition to English horses,
the French horse Kincsem may be ex
pected to compete, rendering the race of

Washington, April 24.—In the House,
Mr. Gillette, of lows, made a speech
from a greenback standpoint,in which he
denounced the Conneoticut anti-tramp
law, and declared that before r-ptog to
the Chinese that they mHBt go he would
say to every law on the statute book
which oppressed the laboring classes that
it must go; the national banks must go;
the national bonds must go; laud monop
olists must go; mountains of idle money
in the Treasury must go into the chan
nela of bnriaese, and millions absorbed by
coin bonds most go ont once more to
make glad the heart of the toiler.

What the people wanted was bread—

He was followed by Da La Martyr, of
Indiana, who denounced the puerile cry of
revolution raised by those who were cow
ards on one side or cormorants on the
other side of the great straggle. He had
no language in which to utter his con
tempt for it.
In the donate, Mr. Dawes presented
the petition of Mrs. Caroline Webster,
widow of Colonel Fletoher Webster, ask
ing an iuorease of her pension from thir

this lady was the only surviving represen

been rendered poer by the destruction of
the Mansfield property. The bill was re
ferred to the Committee on Pensions.
An uaaauailyjlarge gathering of specta
tors was present on the meeting of the
Senate, the ladies’ gallery presentig an
especially brilliant appearance and the
diplomatio gallery having a fair number
of oconpants.
Numbers of prominent visitors, inclu
ding many members of the Honse, occu
pied seats on the floor of lbs Senate, the
attraction evidently being a desire to hear
Mr. Conkling speak on the Army Bill.
The discussion of the Wallaoe resolution
occupied the morning bonr, after whiob
the army appropriation bill was taken
np. Conkling began hia remarks by say
ing that of 235 millions ofrevenne col
lected daring the past year by the gov
ernment 221 millions came from twenty-
seven States and thirteen million six hun
dred thousand from eleven States, Ala
bama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Lou
isiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Taxes and Virgin
ia, of which six and a half million was
from the tobacoo taxes of Virginia,
Both Houses, he continued, have now
a Democratic) majority and no proposi
tion is heard to change the existing rev
enue laws. This vast revenue is collect
ed to pay pensions made necessary by
the rebellion to preserve the government
and protect tho laws made at inestima
ble expense, to divert it from the uses to
which the people have dedicated it would
be perfidious. There is bat one way by
which it can reach those objects by ap
propriation. The constitution commits
to Congress the only discretion as to
how much is to be appropriated. Its
commands to make some appropriation
are imperative. Befasal to vote money
to defray the expenses of the different
branches of government was, therefore,
unconstitutional. If members of the
judiciary or executive departments failed
to do their duties under the c institution,
they would be liable to impeachment.
If members of the legislative branch
were likewise amenable to vanishment
for dereliotianof duty, it would be a bra
ver if not lass guilty act to violate their
eralted trust.

Washington, April 24 —In the Senate
Conkling, continuing, said, a resort to
separate bills might even have cloaked
the sinister design of the legislation, and
that view would have been wise policy
for the other side. In the esse pending
the face of the bill itself shows that the
legitlation is not such sb the executive
can rightly approve. It shows_the_de
sign to be to coerce the executive into
violating hia eenEe of right in order to
permit the government to live. Thus
far the achievement of the Democratic
majority had been easy, bnt the trail was
yet to come. It would be more diffioult.
The party had got themselves into a
predicament, and nnless the executive
lets them ont they will haYe to back ont.
He said, let the ruffianism at the polls
in the interest of ths other party cease,
and there would be no need of farther
expense in exeoating election laws,
Conkling spoke for three honrs, his
speech in the main being an arraign
ment of tho Democratic party and an
earnest support of the Federal election
laws. General Sherman and Attorney
General Dsvens were among the number
of hia attentive auditors.
The time for terminating the debate on
toe legislative bill in the House » fixed
for fire o’clock to-morrow, instead of two
o’clock, aenreviotudy ordered. The bill

moirow.
Washington, D. CL, April 24.—
At the conclnsion of Mr. Conkling’s
speech, Mr. Blaino moved to strike toe
sixth eeotion of the bill. The motion waa
lost by a strict party vote. Mr. Blaine
made a statement concerning a certain
trial in South Carolina, in whioh he al
leged the Bepnblicane prosecuted by the
State were allowed to go free if the Dem
ocrats prosecuted in toe Federal Coart
were released. Mr. Blaine then offered
the amendment previously offered and
withdrawn by him, which is as follows :
At the end of section 6th to add the
following words u and any military,naval or
civil officer or any other person who shall
except for the purposes herein named
appear armed with a deadly weapon of
any description, either concealed or dis
played, within a mile of any pollisg
place where a genera! or epecisl eleotion
for representatives to Congress is being
held, shall on conviction, be punished
with a fine not less than five hundred nor
more than five thousand dollars, or with
imprisonment for a period not less than
eix months nor more than five years, or
with both fine and imprisonment at the
discretion of the court.” Mr. Bntler said
Mr. Blaine’s statement were er
roneous eo far as Smalls & Cardozo
were concerned, it was determined weeks
ago to pardon them. The other cases
had not been discontinued. As to the Et-
lenton oases, be knew that thirteen per
sons were there tried, and if there was
auy charge of bargaining to the Senator
from Maine hp would have to bring it
against the Chief Justioe. Blaine’s
amendment was rejeoted. Other amend
ments offered by Bepublioan Senators
were rejested, and it was finally decided
to take a vote on the G;h saotion to-mor
row afternoon.
In the House evening session there was
a general debate oa the legislative bill.
Mr. King, of Loaieisas, said that the
question, in a nutshell, was, whether the-
test oath ehould be repealed and fair ju
ries restored to the South; whether the
law ehould not be repeated which permit
ted troops and an unlimited array of
deputy marshals to be present at tho
polls, or, in other words, whether the
country wai to have fair juries end free
elections &3 in times past; the voice of
the nation demand tueir repeal, and for
one he proposed to hit there until that
demand waa complied with. In conclu
sion, be said that after thirteen years of
tribulation, Louisiana was now free and
tho equal of her sister S ates, and she
intenoed to remain so.
Conkling, in tha course of his speech
to-day, alluded to the election of 1870,
in which he said peaca was preserved by
Grant. That election, he said, was or
derly, and when New Yorkers next have
occasion to show tbeir appreciation of
Grant’s services, his action in 1870 will
not be hidden away by those who es
pouse him wisely.

North rad South concerning the frnit
prospects, you will please correct so
mnch aa relates to my orchard near
Cnthbert. Instead of being “not able
to gather a single basket fall,” reliable
reports say my crop from 6,5C0 bearing
trees is unin j nred. Unsuccessful efforts
have been made to learn faots from other
orohards in that vioinity. For general
information, permit mo to say that my
friends near Marehallville, another frnit
centre, report that the crop there will be
eome short; in Middle Georgia it is safe
to infer that it will be something less,
and in this vicinity and the upper part
of the State perhaps still less. But in
onr humble opinion we will have peaches
to oat if tha great reputation this luscious
Georgia fruit has already acquired in
Northern markets does not induce expe
rienced dealers to como and handle the
short orop.
Dr. Janea aleo gives cheering reports
from the frnit crop. Without farther
mishap a tolerably fair orop of pesohes
msy yet be realized.

Anew Presbyterian church is about to
be organized in Augusts. The movement
does not grow out of any schism whatever
in tbe parent ohurob, but is merely its
natural outgrowth. In a preliminary
me9ting, whioh waa held in the Presbyte
rian lecture room, on motion, which was
duly aeoondad, Judge W. T. Gould was
oalled to the obsir, and B. P. Sibley re
quested to set as secretary pro tent.
Mr. W. T. Whtle3s, Deacon, offered
the following paper, whioh was unan'
mouriy passed:
Whereas, This informal meeting has
been called for those interested in the
new enterprise oE a Second Presbyterian
Church, and as the object of the meeting
in to call together, for mntnal sympathy
and encouragement, those who fed that
the time has arrived when additional ef
forts ehould be made to advance the
cause of Christ in this city, through the
channels of our cherished form ot govern• [
vient and faith in doctrine, it is there
fore,
Resolved, That we fully recognize the
importance of this additional effort as set
forth in the above preamble, and pledge
onr cordial and hearty support in carry
ing ont those measures whioh wo feel will
rebound to the honor and glory of God
and the welfare of many souls.
It waa then stated by Deacon W. C.
Sibley that the ladies had reqnested him
to say for them that the formation of the
Second Presbyterian Church was to be in
the beet relatious with tbe First Presby
terian Church of this place, and to be
without any animosity whatever, as their
only wish was to extend this branch of
of God’s churoh in this eeotion totne best
advantage.

Savannah News: Yesterday afternoon
considerable excitement was created on
West Broad street, near Berrien, by a
frenzied negro woman, who rushed down
the street with an axe in her hand, cut
ting and slashing at every child she met,
hot avoiding grown persons. She sao-
ceeded in injuring one child severely,
having strnck her on tho head with tho
axo. Parties who attempted to stop her
were kept at bay by the savage manner
in whioh she swung the ngly weapon,
and np to the time onr informant left the

It appears that the woman recently lost
her child, since whioh time she has manijj

Washington, April 22d, 1879.
THS HZSCLT OF UXOOBXINO.
The legislative bottle yesterdey in the
Honse for the first time this session,dem
onstrsted the foot that if this had not
been done pietty soon there would cer
tainly have been an explosion. Think of
it Only 1,385 bills were introdneedjutd
it wsb not a epeoially good day for bills
either. On the first bill day in the lut
Honse 854 bills wero introduced whioh
was thought immense. Yesterday’s work
probably overtops all previous efforts in
that line in the history of legislative bod
ies einoe there were saoh things. Some
members got in as higher forty-five,
among them a Kentucky man who is per
haps banking heavily on this card to set
np matters in tha next raoa in his district.
A Urge majority of all the bills present
ed were, however, simply reproduc
tions of mesanres presented in former
sessions. One point worthy, perhaps,
of mention in this connection is that
about twenty bills to remove tbe heavy
duty on quinine were presented, which
ought to be good news to our readers
who live in shaking districts, and now
have to pay such stiff figures for that in
dispensable drag. This movement seems
to be the result of a powerful and con
certed effort, and I trust and believe will
win. Another feature waa the number
of bills authorizing tobacou growers to
dispose of a part of it to consumers with
out paying a license therefor. Of finan
cial bills there were, of coarse, a galore,
and, as usual, moat of them were as ernde
and mischievons as poEBible. It is a singu
lar fact thstthe less the average statesman
knows of finance the more anxious he is
to demonstrate bis ignorance in the shape
of a bill. It is a sweet reflection, how
ever, in connection with the vast majori
ty of these bills that they will never be
heard of again, so the country can com
fort itself with this thought.
oxoboia’s bhabb

THX FUN IN THX MOUSX, *
last Balurday, wherein Blackbnrn, Frye
and McKinley took the prominent parts,
was particularly refreshing. Blackbnrn
got in hia work on Frye in aa exceedingly
effective manner, and raieed the latter's
hair and temper with a skill and com
pleteness hardly ever equalled, at least
in later years. Frye has evidently been
■offering recently from dyspepsia or
something else which has made him par
ticularly disagreeable and “ngly,” as
they say np in his bailiwick, and Black
bnrn gave him a dose that oosht to do
him a deal of good. A* for the man,
McKinley, those utterances derive their
sole importance from the fact that he is
■apposed to be a special friend ot the
person who ia now drawing Mr. Tilden's
salary as President, he was so banged
and battered that it is now the fashion
to speak of bim as having been swept np
and carefully glued together,' and able
again te occupy his seat. If he is not
a more stupendous ass than even his ut
terances indicate, he will not be nearly

thx nkoso exodus
from certain Southern States Is making
considerable talk here. The Badioala
from States pretty well oot of tbe reach
of the black wave, are rolling up their
eyes and rubbing their hands over it
They say it i3 the right thing for the ne
groes to do, and that it serves
ns right. I observe, however, that
the note from KanBasand other
loyal localities that are threat
ened, is on a different key. The saints
in those localities are not hnngoriog
thirsting for the presence of the man and
brother to any alarming degree. In foot,
they are scowling at, and giving him a
verbal dusty shake. They tell him the
ooantry is tos cold for him, and he will
be rare to have rheumatism. I see Gar
field got so sorry for the poor creatures,
who have been fooled into damping them
selves on tho sacred soil of Kansas, has
introduced a resolution u tho House to
issue tents, blankets, etc., for toe poor
creatures who have been thus deceived.
Like hisklnd, Garfield barns to help the
“poor persecuted blaoks,” bat not at his
own expense. He is willing to do every
thing he con for them—except pnt big
hand in his pocket.
In this connection I see it stated that
the trooly loyl in the State of Indiana
have contributed the amount of two dol
lars for the relief of the refugee fund.
But then they have talked and prayed
for the “poor colored people of the South''
as profusely as Mr. Hayed shed tears
for them when he learned that Mr. Til-
den had been elected President. Could
anything more be expected of them f
By the way, speaking of Mr. Hayes, I
met him last Sunday on G street on his
way home from ohnrcb. The Madams
was with him, and qnite gorgeous in s
wine-ooiored silk. Bhe wore no jewelry
at all, and her hair, which ia very dark
and apparently luxuriant, wm plastered
over her ears os in the piotures. From
the "stiok out” of her frock, which was
quite pronounced, I should imagine she
was trying to re-introdnee hoops. I don’t
mean to be disrespectful, but I must say
that the Madame is not at all what our
“sisters and our cousins and our aunts”
call stylish, and that blind bndle ar
rangement or her hair is simply “hor
rid.” A. W. R.
“Taxpaying States.”
Benaior Conkling began yesterday to
push the Cotton States very low down in
the mnd under his heel, by telling the
world and them, too,that onto! two hun
dred and thirty-five millions of publio
revenue collected by tbe government they
only paid thirteen million six hundred
thousand dollars. Now, doubtless, we
ought to be aBhamed of onrselves for be
ing so poor, and yet the Senator s state
ment, though it msy contain a literal
trnh, oarriesslso a big lie in its atom sob.
Wherever the revenues on foreign im-
porta aro collected, there the taxes may
be said to be paid in the first instance
Thprsfnra, ths pompous Senator from
New York could jait have correctly sta
ted, not that twenty-seven States paid two
hundred and twenty-one millions of tbe
national revenue, but that the great brlk
of that revenue was paid by the cities of
New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Balti
more and a few other commercial points,
whoso business, as importers, consists of
advancing the duties on foreign merchan
dise and afterwards collecting them with
the other values of the goods from job
bers and retailers, till in tbe last analysis
they are all realised from tbe pockets of
consumers.
■What have the States a; States to do with
the main revenues of the country? Does
not the same tax bear on all the people,
and does not the citizen of Maoon pay
the same duty on the foreign goods he
consumes as tho citizen of New York?
Docs the fact that the importer first pays
the duty in a lump, as port of a mercan
tile venture, constitute any speoial merit
or deserving on his part or make him ul
timately a bigger or mors liberal tax-
nay er than any body else? Are New
York and the other oities willing to lose
their privilege of advancing this tariff
taxation for the remainder of the country
with the profits they realize on the
operation.
Why, then, set up this pretence of
paying nineteen-twentieths of the taxes
of the country? It is done in the interest
of bad sectional feeling. It raises a case
of inequality and hardship which does not
exist, and adds one more irritating taunt
which has no foundation in reason.
Tariff taxation all comes out of the con
sumers of imported goods, through im
porters, it is true, bnt no mors at his
ultimate expense than the fsae of a oheok
comes ont of the pccket of tho paying
teller.
So long as tbe national revenues are
derived chiefly from easterns duties, so
long must they be solleeted chitfly at a
few Northern porta. So long as South
ern agricultural crops eonsist chiefly of
commodities which must seek foreign
markets, so long will the Southern States
be chiefly instrumental in maintaining
foreign credit. But the folly whioh can
find in either fact cause of sectional taunt
is perfectly childish as well aB sinister
and nnpitriotic. There is no condor or
honesty ia it.

the iadiastiooa -tore that ere many
yean the tailing marine of the world
will be laid np fas ordinary to rot, having
been supplanted by toe superior speed
and edvantages of sterna weasels. The
mprovemeate in machinery, the substi
tution of iron for wood in ship building,
the gteat reduction in the working foroe
required for the navigation of steam
ships as composed with those propelled
by sails, and the greater draught ot wa
ter required for the tatter when of equal
toonsgs, all make it evident that the
staunch oil oaken hemes ot tho sturdy
mariner are destined to bo driven from
their briny element by the reoent im
provemecta in steamship architectur*.
This conclusion has boon becoming more ’ 8
apparent for years post; bnt is especially
observable now whsn the vast difference
between oar export and import trade is
practically reducing to one voyage the
profits of a round trip across tho ooeao.
In corroboration of this remark, we
qaote m follows from the New York
Bulletin:
“Vessels sre obtaining few or no in
ward freight*. A cursory inspeotion'of
the daily lists of arrivals will satisfy one
on that point. The oargoes frequently
eonsist of empty barrels and freight
whioh osn scaroely be oolied anything
better then ordinary ballast. Ths arrivals
on April 17th sre s fair illustration of
this. Twenty-six vessels entered from
foreign ports; six of these were in ballast,
five of whioh ware in ballast from Europe.
Ol those that hod oargoes, ten were from
the West ladies end only seven from
Europe; end of these letter, one brought
marble, another salt end n third iron.
The nuntger of n large trans-Atlan
tia steamship line says the freight that
has been brought to this country across
the Atlantic ha* been aoeepted only be
cause it was leu expensive than buying
ballast, tbe rates obtained nob paying the
cost of running the vessel. That it is
difiloalt to get freight area for beltaet is
shown by toe number of revet is, includ
ing steamers, that are entering onr ports
without merchandise on board. Steam
ers are bringing ooal to serve as beltaet
this way and u fuel on toe way bock.
It is simply toe outward cargoes that
vessels osn obtain here that enable* them
to meet their current expense*. Though
the.carrying rates ere the lowest that
have been known for many year*, cargoes
are plenty, and every vessel which en
ters the port finds something te take
baok. Every inch of speoe is made avail,
able for freight, and veeaela not infre
quently are recklessly loaded down to the
danger line. A prominent dry doek pro.
pnetor aararve ne that the majority of the
reoent losses at sea have been caused,
not by leakage or fire, bat by overload
ing. “Theses ooald not help entering
the ventilators,” he said. It being true
that ell the tranutiantlo steamship lines
sre depending on oatwsrd cargoes for the
profits of the round trip, toe question of
providing as much freight speoe oa possi
ble has been foroed npon the steamship
managers.
Doubtless one oause of the heavy fall
ing off in imports, is tho duaetrons oper
ation of ths present protective tariff
European manufactures, sara in excep
tional Instancest cannot, after paying our
onerons duties, compete with the Ameri
can. This is glorieus for the rich manu
facturer, but death to the impecunious
consumer.
Indeed, any other than a tariff for
revenue is nothing more than class legis-
ation.
Sven the Cuban sugar trade, the only
remaining strong hold of the sailing ma
rine has been invaded,and is in a fair way
to be broken np by the swift steamers
which can enter the shallow rivers and
bays of the Island and make two or three
trips to one of the sailer. It is announc
ed that a single prominent New York
Bhip broker has recently chartered seven
fast and cheaply constructed foreign
steamers and dispatched them in ballast
to Cuba to je torn laden with cargoes of
sugar at $4~per hogshead.
The Cuban shippers say no sailing
bottoms can survive with freights at
so low a figure.
We osnfees to a feeling of regret at the
proepeot ot tha speedy disappearance
from tbe high seas of the traditional
wooden ships with their bold adventurous
crews, which have been braving old
Neptune and olrcnmnavigatinx the globe
for so many oentnries. The individuality
of Jack will soon exist no longer.
Ybe TmSSSS Bonded Debt.
A large committee cf prominent gen
tlemen from Tennessee are ia New York
eseking to procure toe consent of the
bondholders ot that State to the proposi
tion made by the Legislators to settle the
debt on a basis of fifty per cent, on the
dollar, principal and interest. Sx-Gov-
ernors Porter and Brown are among the
Tennesseeans who represent their State,
and axe backed by a very Urge and influ
ential delegation of bank offioers, editors,
merchants, etc.
At a reoent conference with many lead
ing New York financiers and merchants,
Mr. Roger A. Pryor, the oouaoel of the
bondholders, said, as reported to tbe
World:
“I visited Nashville m the represen
tative of the bondholders and pat my
self in communication with all classes of
people in Tennessee, and I think got a
pretty clear idea ot the temper and atti
tude ot the publio mind in reference te
the indebtedness of tbe State, and I came
to the conclusion that 50 per cent, was
the extreme amount that the people of
Tennessee could be brought to under
take to pav. The modesty of Governor
Potter and tbe other Tennessee men here
prevents tbeir saying what i now state,
that it ia due to their weight of charac
ter, energy and judgment that the peo
ple of Tennessee have been brought to
that figure. That same weight of char
acter and strenuous effort will no doubt
secure the indorsement of the people.
“The thing for the er editors to eossi ti
er is not what ought to be done bat whet
can be done. Bo assured the people of
Tennessee will not do better toon they of
fer now. And they sre not so mnoh to
blame sa we may think. They are very
poor. Yon have no Idea of the poverty of
the peopleln the farming districts. And
moreover while there Is a repudiation sen
timent prevalent in tbe State it is not a
oonscioasly Ignoble sentiment. Those
people do not think they are repudiating
a just obligation, though some of tbe
demagogues doubtless do. But for rea
sons satisfactory to their j udgmont, which
I will not state, they have got the idee
that there is not e very strong, if auy,
moral obligation to pay this debt. That
oom blued with their poverty is realty aa I
see it the eanie why there is a relaetsooe
among a portion ot the people to pay this
debt. Bat they have oome tojthe eon*
ehmon that they will stand fifty cents on
the dollar. It is n sort of outburst of ec-
tonstaam . largely manufactured by Gov
ernor Porter end other able end honors-
bJjt ftlUflQM*
I rather think the mess ot the people
in Tennessee hope the proposition will
be rejeoted. It it ia rejeoted you wifi
never get another. It is of no use to
argue it. People get familiar with the
non-payment of thar debts and the pro*
position loses its monstrous character.
Tbe naxt point that-arrests the atten
tion of the creditor is. will this offer be
carried out? Well, there u no doubt
about that. I have not a shadow of
doubt that if this proposition is sooept-
ed end ratified by the people of the State
of Tarasesee it will be held sacred end
inviolate.
The interest on this debt is n vary
email preportion of tho buxte that the
people have to bear. The creditor had
always better takes dividend that the
debtor osn pay than have him undertake
one too heavy for him to bear.
“I tried to come to the eonelumon the)
the railroads were responsible. I studied
tbe statues of the State bearing upon tbe
subject. But I earns to the conclusion
ths*. any resouroae against the railroads
ie altogether titatory, So that I am
foroed to toe opinion that (he bondholder
must taka the fifty acute or run tbs risk
of never gettog another offer.” I
Mr. Frederick D. Teppes, President
of tbe Gaitatin National Baok. Mid: “I
believe that it is utterly impossible fer
the State of Tennessee to consider any
other proposition then toot which has
now been presented to top bondholders ;
