MACON, APRIL 2 iS-SO.
The general estimate of the most
careful statisticians places the total popu
lation of the United States under the cen
sus of 1SS0, between 47,000,000 and 48,-
000,000, a gain of neatly 9,000,000 in the
past ten years.
Tammany’s “commissioner” has re

The Price of Beer to re Raised.—
The Lager Beer Brewers’ Association of
Philadelphia publishes a notice that on
account of the increase in the price of
barley and hops and the failure of the ice
crop hereabouts, SO per barrel will be
charged for all lager beer sold on and after
the first Monday in April.
—Daniel Drew originated the term
“watered stock.” He was a drover in
early life, and one day when a party de
sired to sell him some inflated stock said:
“That stock makes me think of old farm
er Brooks, up in “Put,” who used to salt
and water his stock to make the cattle
weigh heavy when he sold them!” The
broker told the story in the street, and it
became an adage.
—A fpur-years-old Sunday-school girl
did the best she Could with a question
that was asked of the infant class. Said
the teacher, reading from Isaiah xxxvii.,
1. “And it came to pass, when King
Hezekioh heard it he rent his clothes.”.
Now, what does that mean, children—he
rent his clothes?” Up went a little hand.
* “Well, if you know, tell us.” “Please,
ma’am,” said the child, timidly, “I s’pose
he hired ’em out.”
—A colored man in Baltimore last
week, who is about to be tried for murder,
was informed that the recent Supreme
Court decision gave him the “inalienable
right” to have a jury composed of colored
men. He thereupon declared that he
“did not want to be tried by a colored
jury because his chances were better with
a white jury, and he wasn’t going to be
made a catspaw of and for law to be prao
ticed on him.” He continued to riterate
his desire to be tried by “an intelligent
white jury.”
—At a social game of poker a Virginia
City merchant recently won an undevel
oped gravel claim, near Nevada City, and
was laughed at. He said, with some strong
language, that he’d show ’em a trick or
two, and after “salting” his gravel bed
with $500 worth of gold dust and small
nuggets, induced Eastern capitalists to
examine his rich claim. They did so,
bought it of him for $2,000, and in the
first three weeks took $8,000 out of the
claim. Then the Virginia City merchant
was very much disgusted with himself.
—“How does the T.nrd make nats?”
always trying to find out the whys and
wherefores of things. “Does He make
the cats first, and sew the tails on, or does
He make the tails first, and sew the cats
on?” Every clergyman who comes to the
house is asked the same question, but no
satisfactory reply has yet been given. He
threatens now that unless he finds out
very soon he will take his favorite Topsy
all to pieces, and see for himself.
—The Mormons have played a very
shrewd dodge to get possession of all the
good land in Utah. The United States
statutes forbid settlers from taking
land under the public land laws within
the limits of a city corporation; and the
Mormons have incorporated no less than
thirty-seven different cities in the territory,
•Most of them consist only of a few cabins;
but the Latter Day Saints consider that
they fulfil the requirements of the law.
Senator Edmunds has called the attention
of Congress to this scheme to keep out
settlers, and some legislation will undoubt
edly be adopted to counteract it.
—The Independent Republicans of New
York, who led the thirty thousand scratch-
ers against Cornell last fall, are solid.fy-
ing their organization and promising trou
ble for either Grant or Blaine. A repre
sentative of the organization has recently
been through New York State and reports
that there is the most outspoken indigna
tion over the action of Senator Conkling’s
convention in instructing for Grant, and
Independent organizations are being effect
ed in different counties. Tne present in
tention of the Independent Republicans
is to work for the nomination of the right
kind of man at Chicago, and they will
support almost any one who may be nom
inated there except Blaine or Grant.
A Rape Bill in Congress.—When
the urgent necessities of the times, says
the Washington Gazette, brought by the
frequently-recurring commission of the
heinous crime of rape in our community,
caused the introduction into the Senate,
by Senator Harris, of a bill providing for
the death penalty in the cases of criminals
convicted of rape, the people of Washing
ton began to feel inspired with the hope
that they had seen the last of the series
of outrages of this kind perpetrated with
in the last year or two in our city. It was
felt that only the severest restrictive meas
ures would meet the evil, and that with
the certainty of prompt execution staring
him in the face, the ruffian whose brutal
inclinations might render him prone to
outrage innocence would be terrified in
to self-restraint.
Activity in the Manufacture of
Quinine.—Since the first of the year an
active demand for sulphate of quinia has
sprang up, and the principal manufactur
ing chemists in this city report a greater
business in that article the past three
months than for any similar period within
their recollection, the demand in the
month of January being particularly
heavy. This activity is attributed to the
fact that the West and South, which dur
ing the last three months of last year were
unusually exempt from malarial disorders,
arc beginning to feel the effects of the
The Political Situation.
The political situation is assuming an
unusually interesting phase. All the old
antagonisms are coming to the front
again, and it is not impossible that they
may again strike fire by collision. At
least it is an undeniable fact that uneasy,
disquieting apprehensions are entertained
! by many in reference to the coming Presi-
dential election. Painful recollections of
the last contest and its results are retained
in the minds of the more thoughtful, and
constitute the principle ground of appre
hension for the future. It is not so much
the fear that this or that man may be elec
ted, but that there may be serious trouble
in any event.
The country, immediately following the
last Presidential election, was in a peril
ous condition, which might have eventual
ted in actual civil strife, but for the pro
fessed aversion of the Democracy and the
South to any more trouble of the kind. No
one doubted the election of Mr. Tilden,
not even Mr. Hayes himself; but the par
ty in power were so thoroughly aroused
at the idea of losing their hold upon the
government, that they resolved to hold it
at all hazards—even of bloodshed and
carnage, if necessary.
To avert this impending calamity a re
sort to means and methods hitherto un
known and unheard of in the history of
the nation, was had, and for the first time
we now have a man who was never elect
ed as President. Mr. Hayes, as far as we
know, has never claimed that he was
elected by the people, but exercises au
thority under the grant of the 8 to 7 com
mission. '
These things are still fresh in the minds
of the people, and if anything were need
ed to remind us of them, they may in
ferred in the daily vaporings of the stal
warts that in Grant they have a man who
will not only not be counted out, but if
necessary will count himself in, whether
elected or not. No solid South shall elect
a President.
Political campaigns have ceased to have
an educational value. There was a time
in our past history when a clear presenta
tion of all the principles involved and
upon which parties divided was looked
for; but in these latter days there is so
much of personal interest and personal
hate, and such an quantity of outrageous
falsification in the canvass that ail truth
and fact is lost sight of. The whole po
litical arena is turned over to place men
and place seekers, struggling.for office.
What they are ready to do to secure it, we
may learn in the fact that their first sac
rifice is that great unwritten law, estab
lished by the Father of his Country, which
is practically essential to an electoral suc
cession. Nothing but that hallowed pre
cedent saves the countiy from a life-ten
ure, if not from Legitimacy.
The situation, as it opens, is portentous
with “the fate of Caesar and of Rome.”
Caesar, they, boast is secure—but what of
Rome?

ing on one occasion long years ago, when
sailing in the good brig Isaac Meade from
Savannah to New York, and off the Bar-
negat Shoals, been struck by a petite cy
clone which carried away the jib and sev
eral spars of our ship, and threw her oyer
on her “beams ends.” For the benefit of
landsmen, we would explain that this
means that the vessel was forced over on
herside, and for several minutevytained
that position scudding before the wind
with chairs, tables, and everything loose
turned topsy turvy, and many of the ter
ror-stricken passengers screaming and
praying.
But in a trice the sails were reefed, the
hatches closed to keep out the combing
surges, and the good ship’s course so di
rected that she righted again.
But on the ocean when a vessel, heavily
laden with a shifting cargo, like corn or
wheat, is thus thrown over on her beams
ends by the violence of the wind, the
grain changes position and prevents the
recovery of the equilibrium. Hence the
ship too often careens over, and, capsizing,
all on board meet a watery grave.
This subject has been deemed of', siiffij
cient importance to be brought to the nof
tice of Parliament. Before the late disso
lution, therefore, Mr. Plimsoll, the famous
mariner’s friend, introduced a bill com
pelling the shipment of grain_ in, sacks
only. American navigators join issue
with him, however, and affirm that the
Setter plan is to construct longitudinal
bins or compartments along the. centre of
the ship, which may be subdivided into
^mailer areas • by moveable partitions.
The perpendicular sides of these bins
hold the grain iu position so as to prevent
it from shifting laterally in any direction
It is hoped that some such plan in load
ing will result in greatly diminishing the
danger to the grain carrying marine of the
country.
Governor Colquitt’s Candidacy.
A correspondent of the Albany Even
ing Advertiser, writing from Atlanta on
the 27th, says: “The political situation in
Georgia is on the eve oi some great
changes. Since Governor Colquitt’s re
turn from the Cincinnati excursion liis
truest triends outside of Atlanta have had
long conferences with him, and one made
free to tell him that he could not get the
Democratic nomination. To-day it is
quite freely asserted that Colquitt will run
independent. General Gartrell, it seems,
has got the inside track for the nomina
tion, and he and his friends are working
assiduously. The Independents say they
will not support Colquitt, and in event of
his candidacy they will be forced back to
the nominee.
We have never heard it asserted author
itatively that Governor Colquitt would be
a candidate for re-election, even before
the Convention of his party, though such
seems to be the prevailing belief! But for
any one to say that hqp$ capable of enac

was kindly, courteous and affable, and
knowing that circumlocution was not ne

inquired what truths there was in the re

replied that there were so many reports
that he really did not know, which we re

Colonel Wadley—Now, that is a big
mistake. The reported ninety days’ no
tice was in reference to an arrangement
that existed prior to the original combina
tion with Colonel Cole, and has nothing
whatever to do with arrangements since
made.
Then, Colonel, it seems that the termi

anything to do with the present relations

Colonel Wadley—Not in the least.
Society of Savar.nah, held March 23rd,
18S0, the bills now before Congress, to
increase the powers'of the National Board
of Health, were discussed, and as it is
contrary to the by-laws of the society to
pass resolutions upon matters of a public
nature, it was decided that a paper be
prepared expressive of the views of the
individual members,-to be signed by them
and presented to the City Council, Cotton
Exchange, and the people of Savannah.
In accordance with these instructions, the
following is offered:
.We, the undersigned,-members of the
Georgia Medical Society, view with ap
prehension the extraordinary and danger
ous powers proposed to be conferred upon
the National Board of Health, by the bills
introduced in Congress by Hons. Messrs.
Harris and C. Young, and also that pro
posed by Mr. Acklen. The first section
of Mr. Harris’ bill provides: “That the
National Board of Health, or, in the inter
vals of its sessions, its Executive Commit
tee (of five) shall report to the President
of the United States, whenever any place
in the United States is considered by it to
be dangerously infected with contagious
or infectious disease, and that, upon the
official publication by the President, of
such report, the transportation of goods
or persons from such a place into : auother
State shall be unlawful, and all persons
guilty thereof shall be liable to prosecu
tion therefor in the Circuit Court or Dis
trict Court of the United States, for any
district within which such goods or per
sons shall be transported, and any goods
so transported shall be liable to be seized
or destroyed, unless such transportation
shall be carried on in accordance with
rules and regulations made by the Nation
al Board of Health, and approved by the
President, as in other cases. These rules
shall apply until Ihe President shall pro
claim such place ns longer Infected, and

Agreeably to notice ’ the StateExecntive

being present save John C. Nicholls, Mark
H. Blandford and P. M. B. Young. The

J. A* W. Jolinson.
The chairman explained the objects of
the meeting, after which Hon. George T.
Banles, a^mefnber of the Democratic
National Committee, was invited to sit
with the committee and address them.
This he did briefly, cn the importance of
present national issues and the duties of

Cincinnati Convention, the second for the
purpose of appointing electors and nomi

house officers.
The resolution of Mr. Lewis was adop

A motion to fill the first blank with Ma
con was lost by a vote of 8 to 4, and At

was Wednesday, June 6th. After an
other ineffectual attempt in behalf of Ma

The basis of representation was fixed
at twice the number of Representatives in

Hon, H. P. Bell offered the following
resolutions; .
Resolved, That the people of Georgia,
in selecting their delegates to said con
vention, are hereby earnestly requested
to adopt such methods satisfactory to
themselves, as will insure a full, free, and
fair expression ofthe popular choice in
selecting delegates and candidates. The
committee recommend that meetings to
appoint delegates to the first convention
meet on the first Tuesday in June next,
and the meetings to appoint delegates to
the second convention be held on Wednes
day, the second day of July, and in each
case that the most extensive notice practi
cable be given.
Whereas, The National Democratic
Convention at St. Louis in 1876 referred
the question of adopting the majority or

Democracy of the several States;
Resolved, That the people in their pri

express their views upon this question.
These resolutions after being amended
so as to insert Wednesday, the 21st day
of July, in lieu of the other date were
adopted.
Mr. John H. Martin introduced the fol
lowing resolutions which, after some dis
cussion were adopted seriatim:
Resolved, That this committee, having
•in its deliberations and action, ignored all
personal interest and all previous es-,
trangements and divisions among Demo
crats, earnestly calls upon the whole par
ty throughout the State to do likewise,
overlooking or casting behind them the
bitterness of their late contests with one
another, and uniting once more against
the common antagonist of their principles
and their policy.
Resolved, That for the promotion of
this end, all Democrats in principle are
urged to participate on an equal footing

Filthy rags will descend again to their

Conceiving that “wood pulp” which is
included on the free list, the uninitiated
reader has no manner of conception. The
writer, two years ago, when traveling on
the Reading railroad, Pennsylvania, paus
ed at Maueh Chunk, where immense pa

acres were covered with poplar logs, all to
be reduced to pulp and converted into

manufacturers of New England, who are
the largest producers of the article in the
world,-have made princely fortunes. Of
late, notwithstanding, grown arrogant by
prosperity and feeling secure in the mo
nopoly allowed by Government, they
have advauced prices to a figure which
threatened with asphixiation half of the
newspapers of the country. If Congress,
however, will be prompt to put through
the extorted recommendation of the Com
mittee on Ways and Means in the House,
and paper is made free, prices will again
begin to assume their proper level. It is

Gold Without End.
If we may credit the New York press,
Edison, the Menlo Park scientific experi
mentalist, has discovered a new method
of extracting gold from the ore, the effect
of which on the product and value of that
precious metal, will be incredible. It
will pass beyond the region of hard and
sober fact, and soar clear way un into the
golden skies of a gorgeous imagination.
Edison is said to have stumbled on this
discovery, while experimenting with the
triturated and exhausted goid ores—call
ed “tailings”—to obtain a supply of plati
num for his electric lamps. In the course
of experiments with these exhausted ores,
he was surprised at the laigc yield of
gold obtained by his new and cheap pro
cesses, which in some cases amounted to
a rate of $780 per ton of ore—or far in
excess of the original product.
It is nepdless to add, if this discovery be

Southern Emigration.
A largo number of Southern writers and
journalists, says the Herald, appear to
have very indistinct ideas in regard to
immigrants, or that class of our popula
tion who annually leave the Eastern
States to seek homes in the West. In dis
cussing the advantages possessed by the
South, and the attractions—which are,
no doubt, very great—it offers to immi
grants, our contemporaries are astonished
that thousands and thousands do not rush
SouthtomUhe places^' tajsjoes^
is where our contemporaries make their
great mistake. The wideawake, thrifty,
enterprising and intelligent classes in the
East who go West do so for the puipose
of bettering their condition. They have
not the most remote idea of becoming
field bands. Their aim is to become the
owners of property, to work for them
selves instead of for others, and the fer
tile fields of the West show how abun
dantly they succeed. It is idle to expect
this class o» people to go South as long as
no better position than that of field hands
is offered to them.
And the Herald, it seems to- us, makes
a mistake in assuming that there is any
peculiar difficulty in acquiring landed
property in the Southern States. We
doubt not it is more easily obtained here
than in any other part ofthe United
States. Any reputable negro can rent
land, if be has no means to buy, and with
ordinary goed fortune soon own enough
in fee simple. Here in the Southern
States, there is all out-doors to occupy
possess and cultivate. The proportionate
area of arable land not in cultivation
much greater than in any other section
The “mistake” which we are supposed to
commit in not offering ample salaries to
immigrants from the North to come here
and labor as hired field bauds is univer
sal and inevitable. ; -
Everywhere agricultural labor has its
price, established by usage, and where one
seeks to perform such labor for hire he
must accept current wages, though he he
a doctor of philosophy. But, on the other
band, if the labor be too low to tempt
man, when he can easily rent or purchase
land and labor on his own account, and
hire the labor of others at low rates, why-
should he find fault?
It is not esscutial to Southern welfare
that immigrants should come. It is no;
to indispensable agriculturists that the
Southern crops of sugar, rice, tobacco, cot
ton, etc., etc., should glut the markets
and be heavy of sale. Better, perhaps,
that they should continue as they now
are, as good as gold in the pocket. But
the inducements now offered by the
South to agricultural immigration are so
great that they must necessarily assert
themselves before long.

In the course of the matrimonial con

and his young wife, now seeking a divorce,
the latter declares that she overheard a
statement between her husband and the
late Zach Chandler, in which Chandler
said that Hayes had authorized him to offer
Christiancy a foreign mission if he would
resign the Scnatorship to enable a Legis
lature fixed for the purpose to elect Chand
ler to serve out the vacancy. Mrs. Chris
tiancy says the offer was refused by her
husband unless Chandler should pay him
several thousands of dollars into the bar
gain, and that then Chandler did pay the
money. That Hayes, and Christiancy
parried ’out their promises and that
Chandler came hack to the Senate are
well known.

Washington, March 31.—In the House
the Speaker proceeded to call committees
for reports, when bills were reported and
disposed of as follows:
By Mr. Culberson, of Texas, from the
Judiciary Committee, relating to prelimi
nary trials before the Commissioners of
the United States Circuit Court. Placed
on the calendar.
By Mr. Buckner, of Missouri, from the
Committee on Banking and Currency, to
prevent engraved signatures on National
Bank notes. Placed on the calendar.
By Mr. Davis, of North Carolina, from
the same Committee, authorizing the Na
tional Banks to make loans on mortgage
on real estate. Placed on the calendar.
In the Senate Mr. Cameron, of Wis
consin, rose to what he deemed to amount
to a question of privilege. He said that
he was surprised to see that the testimo
ny of E. S. Webber, taken before the sub
committee ofthe Committee on Privileges
and Elections, at NewOrleans, appeared in
the printed record of the case laid on Sen
ators’ desks, though, owing to his failure
to appear before the committee for cross-
examination, the committee had agreed to
strikahis direct examination out. A note
stating that the committee had agreed to
strike out the testimony appears on the
very last page of the volume, but a great
many of those who might read the evi
dence would not see this note, and Mr.
Cameron desired, by his remarks, to pre
vent Webber’s evidence from prejudicing
Kellogg.
Mr. Hill said that on page 1,185 of tbe
record of the committee’s proceedings,
an order -to strike Webber’s testimony
out appeared.' He supposed Webber’s
testimony taken in New York, was put
into type before tbe full committee decid
ed to have it stricken out, and therefore,,
though technically stricken out, it was
not physically stricken out. Everybody
The House then proceeded to consider
the Senate amendments to the star route
deficiency bill. Mr. Blackburn opposed
tbe amendments. Without final action,
the House adjourned.
In the Senate Mr. Maxey introduced a
bill to revive tbe act of June 3rd, 1856,
and to grant land to Morgan’s Louisiana
and Texas Railroad and S. S. Company,
and for other purposes. Referred.
The bill for an international exhibition
in New York in 18S3 was passed.^
The bill introduced by Mr. PaWlock to
enable persons who have entered less than
160 acres of land under the homestead
laws, to enter enough to make 160 acres,
was passed.
Mr. Bayard, from the Judiciary Com
mittee, reported favorably on his bill
amending the statutes so as to prevent the
arrest of State election officers on election
day. Placed on the calendar. 1
The consideration of the immediate de
ficiency bill was resumed.
In advocating an amendment adding
an appropriation of S51,000 for dies, pa
pers and stamps for the Internal Revenue
Department, Mr. Beck took occasion to
highly compliment the present adminis
tration of that department, which by firm
ness in suppressing illicit distilleries, ’ and
fair and open treatment of lawful distil
lers, had increased the revenue from spir
its so much that this appropriation was
made necessary to meet the increased
business. This amendment, and the va
rious Senate Committee amendments,
were agreed to.
Mr. Blaine offered an amendment pro
viding that the employes of the Govern
ment printing office shall have the same
holidays as other Government employes,
without losing their pay therefor.
Mr. Davis of West Virginia, opposed
this as general legislation on an appropri
ation bill, to which he objected on princi
ple.
Mr. Blaine asked Mr. Davis if he would
carry out that principle by voting against
the Marshal’s clause in this bill.
Mr. Davis replied that the Senate could
not control the action ofthe House. Vot
ing for the House bill was very different
from voting for Mr.,Blaine’s amendment.
Mr. Edmunds opposed Mr. Blaine’s
amendment, and raised the point of order
against it that it proposed general legisla
tion on a general appropriation bill.
The presiding officer (Rollins) rilled
that the pending bill was not a general
appropriation bill, and that Mr. Blaine’s
amendment was in order.
Mr. Edmunds appealed from this rul
ing, and a debate ensued as to what con
stituted a general appropriation bill. Mr.
Blaine said he was opposed to the clause
in the bill regulating the appointment of
special deputy marshals, because it was
I vicious in itself, not because it was at
tached to an appropriation bill. To op
pose it because it was on an appropriation
bill was to make a petty objection. It
was partisan in design, mischievous in in
tent and disastrous in its consequences.
After further discussion, tbe chair re
versed his ruling, saying that while under
the first clause of rule twenty-nine, the
amendment seemed admissible, under the
whole rale it was not in order.
Mr. Blaine was dissatisfied with this
ruling, and an animated and amusing col
loquy ensued between him and Mr. Car
penter, who endorsed the chair.
Mr. Edmunds then moved to strike out
the marshal’s clause. The motion was
defeated and the bill read a third time by
a party vote.
Mr. Eaton moved for an executive ses
sion, saying he though the bill could be
passed at an early hour to-morrow.
Agreed to.
When the doors were reopened the Sen
ate adjourned.
The Senate confirmed the nomination
of James C. Riley tu be postmaster at
Dalton, Ga.
Petersburg, Virginia, March 31.—
There was a grand mass meeting of the
Readjusters of this city, held in the Aca
demy of Music last night, for the purpose
of organizing the spring aud fall cam
paign. Speeches were made by Hon. J.
E. Massey, Auditor of Virginia. General
William Mahone, Judge R. W. Arnold
and others.
Resolutions were adopted that steps
should be taken at once to bind together
more closely in political friendship, all
citizens of Virginia who are opposed to
“funderism, Boorbonism, class legisla
tion, unequal taxation and political pro
scription,” and calls upon the Readjusters
throughout the Commonwealth to co-op
erate with them.
Resolutions were also adopted endors
ing the action of the Readjuster members
of the Legislature in electing public offi
cers in sympathy with them, and also in
repealing the Moffet punch bill.
Resolutions condemning the Governor
for vetoing the McCulloch debt bill were
also passed.
Atlanta, March 3i.—A special to the
Constitution from Monroe, Georgia, says
that Robert Upshaw committed suicide by
blowing his brains out with a shot-gun. No
reason is assigned for the act. Upshaw
stood well in the community.
San Francisco, March 31.—The latest
returns from various precincts show
sweeping victory for the Citizens’ Union
their ticket receiving 13,339 votes, against
10,246 for the Workingmen’s ticket.
About 4,500 votes remain still to be
counted.
New York, March 31.—A London
special says: This morning’s papers are
full of the warlike attitude of China.
The Standard’s St. Petersburg correspon
dent freely discusses the probabilities of
war with the Celestial Empire, and hopes
that the collision may be averted. Rus
sian journals for the most part urge that
iu case of war, Russia should descend np-
* on riie seaboard of China, in conjunction
with the Japaneee, whooe friendship fa to
be zealously cultivated.
A Vienna correspondent of the Times
says that Russia will make no concession,
but will insist on tha ratification of the
Kuldja treaty.
St. Petersburg, March 31.—The Em
press of Russia is sinking rapidly.
Copenhagen, March 31.—The Crim
inal Court has sentenced Baron Gedalia,
a chief of the banking house of Gedalia &
Co., diplomatic agent of the Bey of Tu
nis, late Consul General to Portugal, and
possessor of a dozen grand crosses aud
other decorations, to one month’s impris
onment for repeatedly using canceled
stamps on stocks and bills.
London, March 31.—The religious as
sociations of France will probably con
test in the courts, the legality of the de
crees of the government against unautho
rized religious societies, on the ground
that the law3 they are based upon are
obsolete.
The Union, Count DeChambord’s or
gan, The Honde, tlie organ of the Papal
Nuncio, and the Universe, ultramontaue,
are greatly exasperated, and declare that
Catholics will vigorously resist the en
forcement of the decrees.
The Pays, M. Paul De Cassagnac’s
paper, says the decrees are only prelim
inary to the re-establishment of the
guillotine tor political adversaries, while
the Ordre and tbe Liberte, also Bonapar-
tists, admit tbe legality of the decree.
London, March 31.—The following
were to-day elected members of Parlia
ment without opposition: Right Hon. Sir
Michael E. Hicks Beach, Conservative,
minister of colonies for Gloucestershire
east, re-elected; Mr. W. Biddle, Conserva
tive, for Suffolk west; Mr. Alexander H.
Brown, Liberal, for Wenlock, re-elected;
Mr. Thomas Burt, Liberal, labor repre
sentative for Mapath,re-elec:ed;-Mr. Lew
is L. Dillwen, Liberal, for Swansea, re
elected; Mr. Cecil T. W. Forrester, Con
servative, for Wenlock, re-elected; Mr.
Wm. D. Hughs, Liberal—conservative
Liberal, but supports tbe government’s
testimony was not a part of it. Hill, in
this connection, stated that two affidavits
ordered stricken out by him, also appear
ed in the printed volume. He was not a
printer, but supposed that it was custom
ary to print tbe whole proceedings and
let them speak for themselves.
Mr. Saulsbury, chairman of the com
mittee, said the superintendency of print
ing the testimony taken before tbe com
mittee, bad always been left to the steno
grapher. He bad not thought it neces
sary personally to supervise the print ing.
Mr. Morrill asked Mr. Saulsbury if he
had any objection to having the Webbeg
testimony actually stricken out. Sauls
bury bad none, except that it would
make necessary tlie reprinting of the
whole edition ofthe report.
Mr. Ingalls thought tho incorrect re
ports should be withdrawn, and a correct
edition printer. Tbe volumes went into
the public libraries all over the country,
and tbe Senate should not stick at the ex
pense of a few thousand dollars to cor
rect an error prejudicial to one of the par
ties to tbe case.
Mr. Logan, a member of the committee,
moved that tbe record of the case be cor
rected, either by reprinting or by leaving
out tbe parts ordered by the committee to
be stricken out. Messrs. Saulsbury aud
Hill saw no objection to this motion.
Mr. Garland said tin: only parliamentary
way to correct the testimony was to
recommit for that purpose to the commitr
tee.
Mr. Logan modified his motion so as
to recommit the evidence, with instruc
tions to the committee to withdraw the
copies already distributed, and correct the
whole editiou. The motion was agreed to.
The unfinished business ou tlie calen
dar was then taken up, being the bill pro
viding for an international exhibition in
New York, in 1883.
Washington, March 31.—In the
House, Mr. Money, from the post-offices
and post roads committee, reported back
the post route bill, and it was passed. •
