Washington, February 18.—In the
House the Acklen report was accordingly
read. The committee finds that Mr.
Acklen not being a member of the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs, did, on the 13th
of January, in the absence of Mr.
King of that committee, present a pa
per purporting to be the report of that
committee submitted by Mr. King,
relative to the claims of certain
citizens against tlie Government of Nica
ragua ; that said paper was not the report
of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and
had never been adopted or favorably con
sidered by it. That the alleged report, as
presented, consists of four pages of man
uscript, a printed resolution and a printed
report of Mr. Acklen to the Forty-fifth
Congress. That the manuscript is in the
form of a request from the Committee on
Foreign Affairs for the speedy passage of
the resolution. That the manuscript is
in the hand writing of Mr. Ack-
len’s clerk, and copied by him
from a darft made by Mr. Acklen.
That Mr. Acklen being inquired of at the
time by the journal clerk, failed to convey
to him any other impression than that he
had presented the report for Mr. King.
The committee reports that it lias not felt
justified in inquiring into Mr. Acklen’s
motives In presenting tills report, but con
tents itself with simply a finding of the
facts. At the conclusion of the reading
of the report, Mr. Acklen sent to the
clerk's desk and had read letters address
ed by him to the chairman of the commit
tee on Foreign Affairs, asking that the
scope of investigation be enlarged,
ipir. Cox said the committee had no au
thority to go beyond a simple inquiry as
to the truth and falsity of the charges, and
that the investigation was a delicate mat
ter at best.

committed to the committee on Foreign

tional disrespect to the House, and from
any intentional wrong-doing in the mat
ter, and he was entitled to have these
proofs heard before a committee. After a
long discussion as to the propriety of re
committing the report and investigation
to the committee on Foreign Affairs for
further action, against expressed wishes
of that Committee, it was decided, upon a
resolution offered by Mr. Hawley of Con
necticut, that the Committee on Foreign
Affairs be discharged from further cdH-

ly committee, and was opposed by both

worthy of reappointment.

ported the nomination and endeavored to

ting that Stickney was opposed because

to-day discussed the budget and the bill
authorizing the government to contract a
loan. The Under Secretary of the Treas
ury, in the course of debate, said the
financial situation of the countiy had
greatly improved during the current year.
The total increase of receipts this year
had been estimated at 28,000,000 marks,
but tills estimate is now reduced to 20,-
000,000, by calculating the decrease in re
ceipts from beet root sugar, brandy and
brewers’ taxes. Last year’s deficit will
be met by this year’s surplus. The pres
ent budget shows an increase in ordinary
expenditures of 11,000,000 marks, and in
extraordinary expenditures, of 5,000,000
marks, while the reduced receipts from
some of the sources of revenue amounts to
14,000,000 marks.
Towards this thirty million marks,
therefore, the required increase of receipts
from certain sources will only yield 22,-
500,000 marks, and the matriculatoi-y con
tributions of various States will conse.
quentlybe increased by 7,500,000 marks.

Washington, D. C., February J19.—
In the Senate Mr. Jones, of Florida,
from the Committee on Public Buildings
and Grounds, reported with amendment a

for the erection of public buildings at
Jacksonville, Florida. Placed on the cal
endar.
Mr. Butler, of South Carolina, intro
duced a hill to provide for the erection of
public buildings at Greenville, South Car
olina.
After considerable discussion the Senate
by yeas 29 to nays 25, reconsidered the
vote by which the resolution for the ap
pointment of a Special Committee on tlie
Inter-oceanic Canal, had been adopted.
The question then recurred on the adop
tion of the resolution.
Mr. Conkling thought the subject of the
inter-oceanic canal should he referred to
the Committee on Foreign Relations.
Mr. Bayard thought the Senate never
had before it a subject which more
justly demanded appointment of a special
committee than this one.
The morning hour having expired, the
Senate recommended the consideration
of the five percent. Military Land War
rant Bill. Mr. Morrill opposed the bill.
Morgan of Alabama, expressed a wish that
the bill might he postponed until next
session. As far as he could learn it would
give Alabama about eighty thousand
dollars and take from her by taxation
about a hundred thousand.—she
was not therefore greatly interested either
way—he thought the subject should go to
the courts and not be acted on by Con
gress.
In further remarks Mr. Morgan said
that for ten years after the war Congress
suspended all public laws (except those
permitting homestead interests) in Ala
bama and four other Southern States. If
the bill was to pass it should include the
provision compensating Alabama for what
she lost by being deprived of locations on
the land warrants. He did not believe,
however, that the enacting acts contem
plated what was insisted on in this bill.
At 4:16 the Senate went into executive
session, and when the doors were re-op
ened, adjourned.
In the House Mr Herbert, of Alabama,
made a long legal argument in support of
the bill, but at the expiration of the
morning hour, it went over without ac
tion, and the House in Committee of the
Whole resumed the debate on the revis
ion of the rules.
Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, asked leave
to address the House for ten minutes.
Mr. Blackburn objected, on the ground
that it was not competent for the commit
tee to extend the time for debate.
Mr. Conger moved that the committee
rise, and that the House go into Commit
tee of the Whole on State of Union, in or
der to give Mr. Stephens an opportunity
to speak. Agreed to.
Mr. Stephens then addressed the House
in opposition to the twenty-first rule, say
ing he did not believe that according to
tlie Democratic doctrine of Jefferson,
Madison and Jackson, it was ever intend
ed that appropriation bills should be en
cumbered with outside legislation. If
there had been any progress in the legis
lation In this country it had been in ex
cluding from appropriation bills other
matters as riders. Re repudiated the so-
called Democratic doctrine that it is prop
er to seek redress of grievance by with
holding appropriations. It had never
been Democratic doctrine. It was a mo
narchical doctrine. The new doctrine of
making war on the veto power through
the means of the appropriation bills was
not Democratic, was not Republican and
was anti-constitutional. He had opposed
it during the extra session last year, he
opposed it now and would always oppose
it.
At the conclusion of Mr. Stephens’
remarks the House - again went into com
mittee of the whole on the revision of the
rules, and finally adopted in place of
clause three and all previous amendments
a substitute offered by Mr. Morrison, of
Hlinois, to tlie effect that no provision of
any appropriation bill or amendment
thereto changing an existing law shall be
in order, except such as being germain to
the subject matter of the bill, shall re
trench expenditures. This substitute was
adopted by 123 to 95 amid applause on the
Democratic side. Several other amend
ments to this clause were offered but
were voted down. The consideration
was brought to a close by the adoption of
Mr. Morrison’s substitute and at 4:45 the
House adjourned.

tion, at their meeting at Chantangua,
New York, in July next.
Secretary Schurz presented a report to
the Senate to-day concerning the land
grant to railroad companies which have
not fulfilled the conditions ot their grants.
He refers to the following Southern com
panies, among others, which have forfeit
ed their rights to the grants of land set
opposite their names: Gulf and Ship Is
land Company, 652,000 acres; Coosa and
Tennessee, 134,000 acres; Mobile and Gi
rard, 840,000; Coosa and Chattanooga,
150,000; Pensacola and Georgia, 1,508,-
000; Florida, Alabama and Great Central,
183,000; North Louisiana and Texas, 010,-
000; New Orleans, Baton Rouge and
Vicksburg, 160,000. .
Report says these companies, so tar as
tlie Interior Department is informed,
neither intend nor are expected to prose
cute the work upon their respective
grants. In fact, it is understood that a
few of the corporations do not now exist.
Washington, February 10.—-R. C.
Badger, a prominent North Carolina Re
publican, testified before the Exodus Com
mittee to-day that the landlord and ten
ant act of North Carolina placed the en
tire crop in the possession of the owners
of the land; that a few bad men took ad
vantage of this to abuse their tenants, and
that the general effect of the law was ben
eficial, as it enabled many people to cul
tivate land, who could not do so if the
law was not in existence.

St. Petersburg, Februaiy 10.—The

of the attempted assassination of the
Czar’s life at 6 o’clock Tuesday evening.
If it had not been accidently delayed, all
would have been seated at the moment of
the explosion. As it was, the escape was
very narrow. The Emperor accompanied
by the Prince of Hesse and Bulgaria was
about to enter the dining hall through
one door and the other members of the
Imperial family by another, when
the explosion took place, Two servants
who were in the dining hall were injured.
The force of the explosion was such that
a number ot the windows of the palace
and adjacent houses were shattered. The
gas was blown out and complete darkness
prevailed. The bodies of two more sol
diers have been found among the debris,
and of the forty-five injured, several have
since died.

The Case of Warren F. Lovett.
Gbiffin, Ga., February 19.
The case of the State against Warren
P. Lovett, charged with killing James K.
Reynolds in August last, came up for trial
in Greenville yesterday morning. A jury
was empaneled without difficulty, and the
day was occupied in hearing the evidence
for the prosecution. A portion of the evi
dence for the defense was also received.
This morning when the court convened
the solicitor arose, and addressing the
court, said that as the evidence was so
overwhelming in favor of Lovett’s acquit
tal, he was willing, so far as he was con
cerned, to stop the examination and al
low a verdict of acquittal to be returned
without further investigation, as he was
satisfied the defendant could not be con
victed.
The Court agreed to this, and the jnry
without being charged returned their
verdict of not guilty, without leaving their
seats. The associate counsel fully agreed
with the Solicitor and the Judge, having
heard the evidence, gave his consent, and
the verdict of acquittal was rendered
without further procedure. There was
no surprise in such a verdict, everybody
assenting without a murmur of dissatis
faction. It was a clear victory for the ac
cused. C. T. L.
between Sir Garnett Wollesley and Dr.
“Bull Ran” Russell, so-called—that dis
tinguished correspondent of the London
Times, who won his first important lau
rels in reporting the first battle of Manas-
ses in 1861. Russell has been profoundly
impressed with the demoralizing influ
ences of such warfare as the extremely
aggressive policy of the government has
committed the army to for apparently an
indefinite period.
In the tribal and predatory warfare
which has followed, perhaps necessarily,
these schemes oi_local subjugation the
bold soldier boys of Great Britain have
become very unmanageable. They have
taken to drink, and the liquor obtained is
far from the best. It is gently intimated
that the necessities of discipline require
about half the column to keep the other
half under arrest, and the line is generally
far from straight. The social habits of all
kinds are not correct, and in short the
whole line of personal reminiscence, both
on the part of officers and men, is fast be
coming of an entirely unprecedented char
acter in the British service.
These sentiments are peremptorily
challenged by General Wollesley, but the
Herald points out the transparent fact
that newspaper correspondents with an
army are always naturally mid extremely
reluctant to say anything to its discredit.
But it is inevitable that the morale of any
force must suffer from work in itself, dis
creditable. A force employed as a drag-
onnade through neighborhoods and vil
lages, is bound to sink into something
akin to banditti.
County Court.
Yesterday the darkey Jerry Lucas
was tried in the County Court for an as
sault committed on Mr. Murray, of the
Rutland District, who is keeper of the
Tobesofkee bridge. The darkey arranged
to burglarize the store of Mr. E. C. Pearce
of the Rutland District by taking the
screws from the hinges of the door,but was
discovered and ordered to leave the county.
Three men accompanied him on the rail
road track as far as the railroad bridge
over the Tobesofkee creek. Here two of
them stepped one side to consult as to the.
best course to be pursued, and left the
darkey alone with M^plurray. He dealt
him a severe blow over the head and fled.
He was subsequently arrested in this city.
Judge Holt gave him yesterday ten
months in the chain gang.
Kocklns M Train.
As the train from Atlanta was nearing
Vineville Station last night some rascally
boy threw a stone through a widow of the
sleeping car, breaking the glass and strik
ing a passenger on the head. Conductor
Tom McLendon stopped his train, but
the culprit escaped in the darkness of the
night. Such an act seldom occurs at this
end of the line, and we hope the offender
will be found ont and get his reward.
Funding' the City's Indebtedness.
It is deeply to be regretted that any dif
ference of opinion should have arisen be
tween the majority of the Bond Commis
sion and the authorities of the city as to
the propriety of funding certain securities,
commonly known as the Boss bonds, and
a portion of the city currency. Pending
the decision of the matter in controversy,
which should he done at. the earliest mo-,
ment either by appeal to a jury, trial in
chambers, or, if practicable, arbitration,
we submit that the necessary bonds to
cover the remaining $600,000 of the city
debt concerning which there is no dispute,
should at once be placed upon the market.
Otherwise the credit of the city must
certainly be impaired. And even as the
matter stands already has a glamor been
cast upon our city securities, and parties
who recently were willing and anxious to
invest in the new bonds are standing off,
or have placed their money elsewhere.
We repeat, the great bulk of the debt
could and should be funded forthwith,
that the world may see that Macon is in
earnest in the laudable work of redeeming
all outstanding liabilities, and making
her credit “gilt edge” once more.
The community are looking anxiously
on, and hoping that every question in dis
pute will be speedily and amicably ad
justed.
Since penciling the above, we are
pleased to learn from a member of the
Bond Csmmission, that yesterday $200,-
000 worth of bonds were passed upon,
and will soon be sold and substituted for
the new issue. We hope, ere long, to be
able to chronicle that the entire debt of
the city has been so arranged that it will
trouble the taxpayer no more. The mod
erate property tax and reduced schedule
of licenses will suffice gradually, under
the careful management of the Commis
sion, to pull down our obligations, until,
when thirty years have elapsed, the city
will no longer owe a stiver. Thanks to
our new constitution, all fatore debts are
blocked. Our city fathers must “down
with the dust,” if they wish to embark in
new enterprises that will cost money.
Death, of Rev. Dr. Jeter.
Our telegrams made a mistake in an
nouncing the death of this distinguished
clergyman, on yesterday, in styling him
Bev. J. C. Peter. It should have been
Rev. J. B. Jeter, D. D., of Richmond,
Virginia. He was bora in Bedford coun
ty, Virginia, in 1802, and rose to the po
sition of being the most distinguished
Baptist minister in the South. He was
for several years pastor of a large church
in St. Louis, Missouri, and subsequently
of the Grace Street and First Baptist
churches of Richmond, Virginia. At the
time of his death he was the editor of the
Religions Herald, perhaps the ablest and
most widely circulated journal
of lii3 church in the South.
He was a gifted and voluminous
writer, and has written and published
several works that bear evidence of a
high order of ability and culture. He
was President of the Board of Trustees
of the Southern Baptist Theological Sem
inary, and also of the trustees of Rich
mond College. Profound sorrow per
vades the entire denomination to which
he belonged, now that this great man in
Israel has fallen.
The Status of the Rejected Lease.
A Washington dispatch to the Savannah
News says:
In regard to the proposition that bidders
of the Macon and Brunswick lease take
the lease offered by Governor Colquitt,
and trust to the Legislature of Georgia to
protect them from any loss by reason of
the threatened claim of six hundred thou
sand dollars, when they have already paid
the purchase money, the Governor was to
day in telegraphic correspondence with
parties both in Georgia and New York,
and, no conclusion being reached, it was
decided that he should go to New
York.
Governor Colquitt, in his telegraphic
correspondence, informed the parties con
cerned that while he was unable to give a
warranty title, he was thoroughly con
vinced that the Legislature would protect
the purchasers. It is highly probable now
that the sale of the road will be consum
mated.
A survey of the whole field leaves us
without any further reliable information
as to the degree of progress the Governor
has been able to make in the re-habilita-
tion of the suspended negotiations for the
sale of the Macon and Brunswick railroad.
His willingness to proceed in person all
the way to Washington and thence to
New York to consult with Messrs. Wilson
& Co., shows an earnest desire on his part
to remove all existing obstacles to a final
consummation of the late bargain. In
deed, even the lessees testify to his earnest
endeavors in the premises. Failing to suc
ceed in this effort, in view of all the facts
of the case, and the outspoken opinion of
eihinent lawyers, and public sentiment
generally, we should hold the Governor
justified in reconsidering his first refusal
and signing the warranty deed which had
been perfected at so much pains and ex
pense. ; ■ J - : ,
A few days we suppose, will suffice to
decide the matter finally.
Brunswick on the Lease Embroglio.
The good people of that pleasant city by
the sea, which Macon has done more than
Any other community by substantial tokens
to build np,are Justly surprised by the rebuff
it has received in the very hour of anticipat
ed triumph, through the refusal of a war
ranty title to the sale of bier road.
Hear how the Seaport Appeal talks on
the subject:
THE RASCALLY $600,000.
There never was a more bare-faced
trick, or a more flimsy fraud than the
shaking ofthose $600,000 of repudiated
bonds at the bidders and lessees of the
Macon and'Bruaswick Railroad.
The road was .seized by the State in
terms of the law, tor failing to pay the in
terest on its'endorsed bonds it was ad
vertised according to the terms of the
statute for sale; it was sold at public out
cry to the highest bidder, and the State
was tlje purchaser. Is there an honest or
intelligent lawyer on the continent who
will risk his reputation on a written opin
ion that the sale did not wipe out all prior
liens ? or that the State’s title under that
sale was not good against all outstanding
mortgage bonds on the road.
Suppose the Central railroad had been
the purchaser at the sale—would any man
stand up and contend that the sale was
void, that her titles were defective, or
that the holders of the bonds referred to
could maintain a suit against the Central
for recovery? Surely not. Has the
State a lower status in the courts than a
citizen ? No. If then the State’s title is
good, what but brazen impudence, a trick
of the enemy, or a greed for black-mail
could flaunt such a lie in the face of the
Governor and his bidders ?
But that’s not all. The veritable $600,-
000 of bonds have been twice solemnly
declared hy the Legislature to be fraudu
lent, null and void. Now we opposed the
repudiation, and believe the State ought
to.pay the six hundred thousand, but that
does not affeet the legal proposition that
they are dead in law and beyond resur
rection by any court process known to
American jurisprudence.
And again: When a State parts with
property held by. the tenure of sovereign
ty—such as eminent domain—warranty is
not only a suiplussage, but a circumstance

They put up their money and stuck to

In Memory of Dr. F. X. Kennedy.
The Constitution says : “At the Tues
day morning Methodist preachers’ meet
ing held in the First Methodist Cbnrcb,
Atlanta, on the sad announcement being
made of the recent death of Dr. F. M.
Kennedy, sentiments of hearty sorrow
were exchanged and the highest apprecia
tion of the worth of the deceased was ex
pressed. • Dr. Kennedy became widely
known and greatly endeared to Georgia
Methodists as editor of the Southern
Christian Adrocate, and by his annual
visits to the Georgia Conferences. His in
tellectual ability, his genial manners, his
pre-eminent goodness, attracted about him
the admiration and affection of all
brethren. ^

Rev. A. J. Rattle, D.D.
It affords us much pleasure to print the
following richly deserved tribute to the
honored head of Mercer University, which
appears in the Columbus Enquirer-Sun:
We were much gratified to meet in our
city yesterday, Rev. A. J. Battle, the
President of Mercer University, located
at Macon. We think the Baptists of
Georgia did a wise act in placing him at
the head of their institution. We have
been under his instretion at other colleges
and know that he possessed the esteem
and confidence of every student. He
is a gentleman m the truest sense of
the word, and possesses a personal
magnetism that is very winning. A
Christian without affectation, a minister
with rich thoughts and handsome, effect
ive delivery, a learned, scholarly instruct
or, who imparts his information in a clear,
luminions manner so as to be grasped by
the intellect, he possesses a warm,
generous, affable manner that, while at
tracting regard and insuring trust, never
would tempt to familiarity, because con
trolled hy a gracious dignity. Such was
the impression created in us years since iu
wilder days than now, and the admi
ration has but heightened with the
growth of seasons. He is a peer among
the able and cultured. We know of none
under whose care the youth can be
placed for training and education with
greater safety and more implicit confi
dence. The university over which he pre
sides is the equal of any. The doctor has
been in the city the last two days with the
Macon Bclshazzantes. A number of the
“Mercer boys” are members of the cho
rus. lie is regarded as the inaugurator
of the Macon organization, and much of
its success is due to his efforts. He i3 an

Deadwood region, was arrested bytwa

put spurs to his horse and get away, be
cause his beast was the fastest of the three,
and the officers arguing that he could be
riddled with bullets before he got out of

ty of the Empress, who was charmingly
dressed in nauve satin, the train of the
robe being of great length and richly em
broidered in gold and silver. The pecu
liarity of. her Majesty’s coiffure was that
she wore her hair floating over her shoul
ders, and only compressed on the upper
