Mansfield, Ohio, April 1.—Secretary
Sherman made a speech before a large
audience at Miller’s Hall to-night, In
which he said that by force of recent
events, and not by bis self-seeking, he
was mentioned as a candidate for the
Presidency. Without a pretence of mock
modesty, he accepted, the position, but
with a firm determination not to detract
from the merits or services of others, nor
to seek this lofty position by dishonorable
means or lying evasions or pretences. [Ap-
plause.] In this way s and in this way
only, was he a candidate, but with great
doubt whether, if nominated, he would
meet the expectations of his friends, and
resolved that in case of failure he would
abide cheerfully and kindly by the choice
of the convention. He said the Republi
can party proposed to maintain the poli
cy of resumption, to enforce the constitu
tional amendments with all the power of
the national government, to the end that
every man, poor or rich, white or black,
be secured in his civil and political
rights, and to extend the free school sys-
^New Orleans, April 1.—To General
Bussey’s address of welcome last night,
Grant replied:
Gentlemen and Citizens of JVeio Orleans.
After an absence of a great many years
from your State, I am happy to return to
it and very proud of the reception I am re
ceiving at your hands, and very glad that
it is given by your citizens, irrespective of
former relations. Scenes of war are now
past and we are an united people. I be
lieve that if this country should unfor
tunately become involved in war, we will
all wear the same uniform under the
same flag. [Cheers]. I hope for New
Orleans and this section the prosperity it
deserves. What benefits this city benefits
the adjoining section. This State is capa
ble of producing millions of dollars more
in sugar than at present. I rejoice with
you in the prosperity you have; I am glad
to hear that this city has been so much
benefited by improvements at the mouth
of the river. What helps you helps a large
section of our country and the entire Mis
sissippi Valley; iufact,IwisliNew Orleans
increased and long continued prosperity,
believing and knowing that is the best
cure for disorders and sectional animosi
ties. Industrious people are always hap
py and contented. Again, let me thank
you, Mr. Chairman and friends, for this
kind reception, and in conclusion, I hope
that the blue aud gray may never again
be arrayed against each other. The past
is gone. Again 1 thank you. (Loud and
continued applause.)
London, April 1.—The Times inH
leading editorial on the results of the
polling yesterday, says:
The Conservatives must admit a very
grave discouragement. The balance of
gains and losses is, on the whole, in favor
of the Liberals, and it is obvious, if the
tide of success flows as strongly as it did
yesterday in favor of the opposition, the
whole ministerial majority of 1874 will
have melted away. This is more omin
ous for the ministry, because it is ac
knowledged that the loss of several seats
in Scotland and Ireland, certainly a
dozen and perhaps a score, is inevitable.
London, April 1.—A Rome dispatch
says M. De Spuz, French ambassador to
the Vatican, delivered his credentials to
the Pope in state. The Pope has sent

mission to the Mexican Government. ■
Philadelphia, April 1.—At one
o’clock this morning a fire was discovered
in the furnace room of the umbrella fac
tory of Conorovy & Co., Twelfth and Wil
liam streets. By the time the firemen ar
rived the flames were bursting from every
window, and the greater portion of the
structure was destroyed. Portions of the
building were occupied also by the Nov
elty Paper Box Company, Brehmer
Bros., Machinists, J. Johnson, Jr., and
Conaway & Co. The losses are estimated
at $70,000. Insurance $40,000. The
Novelty.Paper Box Company loss is $15,-

Washington, April 1.—In the Senate
Mr. Wallace, from the select committee
to inquire into the alleged fraud in the
. late election, submitted a report on the
subject of assessments for political pur-
. poses. Ordered printed and laid on the
table.
In the House Mr. Chalmers of Missis

committed.
Mr. Singleton, of Mississippi, Chairman
of the Committee on Printing, reported
a resolultion for the printing of5,000 cop
ies of the report of the select committee
on the depression of labor and Chinese
immigration.
Washington, April 1.—In the House
Mr. Hazleton of Wisconsin, objected to
the resolution reported by the select com-
. mittee on the depression of labor and Chi
nese immigration. The committee bad
. sought for the depression -of labor and had
. found nothing but prosperity. The whole
thing was played out and not worth the
cost of printing.
Mr. Singleton was far from agreeing with
. the gentleman, and thought the report in-
. teresting and worth printing. The reso
lution was adopted.
The House then considered the Senate
bill amending the census act, and after
striking out the provision doing away with
all inquiries as . to naturalization and
ownership of the public debt, the bill was
passed. The House then went into com-
mtttee of the whole on the star route de

to the star service, but wished to see the
The Senate, in executive session to-day,
confirmed the nomination of Victor
Thompson, of Mississippi, as consul at St.
Thomas, and rejected the nomination of
Alexander C. Wells, of Louisiana, to be
Surveyor of Customs for the New Or

Washington, April 1.—In the Senate
Mr. Vance introduced a bill for the erec
tion of public buildings at Greensboro,
North Carolina. Referred.
The bill authorizing the Secretary of
War to acquire for the United States a ti
tle to the site of Fort Stockton, Texas,
was passed.
Mr. Cockrell Introduced a bill to estab
lish a semi-monthly steamship mail ser
vice between the States of the Mississippi
valley and Brazil, and asked its reference
to the committee on Post-Offices and Post
Roads. ~
Messrs. Conkling and Hereford claimed
that it was substantially the same bill as
that introduced by Mr. Cockrell yester
day, which had been referred to the com
mittee on Commerce against Mr. Cock-
erll's wish. They objected to two differ
ent committees considering the same sub-
^Mr. Cockrell said the bills were not
identical. To-day’s bill merely extended
to the Brazilian line, with provisions al
lowing merchandise to pass through the
mails
After more discussion, Ingall’s objected
to the second reading of the bill, and it
therefore went over until to-morrow.
Mr. Teller announced that the minor
ity of the Wallace committee intended to
make a minority report on political as
sessments.
The bill granting pension to Isaac
of the Pension Committee, because the
pension laws do not cover persons outside
of military and naval service. Fending
debate the morning hour expired, and
the Senate resumed tbe consideration of
the immediate deficiency bill, tbe question
being on its final passage.
Edmunds opposed it on tbe ground that
the clause relating to the appointment of
marshal’s, was practically the same as
the measures proposed by tbe majority
during the extra session. Deputy _ mar
shals being executive officers, couid not
be appointed by the courts without in
terference between two separate de
partments of tbe government. Dep
uties so appointed, would not
be responsible to, or controlled by
Marshals, and tbe effect would be to ren
der tlieir appointment useless. He ob
jected to the courts recognizing political
parties and choosing partisans for depu
ties. He regarded this as one of the many
Democratic attempts to repeal or nullify
all legislation of the past nineteen years,
which was intended to secure the rights
of the people. The hill was then passed
by a party vote. .... .. .
The clause referred to provides t.iat
deputy marshals shall be appointed by
the United States Courts in equal num
bers from the different political parties,
aud that they shall he well known citizens
of good moral character.
On motion of Mr. Coke the hill ratify
ing the Ute agreement was taken up,
and without acting on it the Senate ad

In the House the Committee on Elec
tions to-day rejected the resolutions res
pectively declaring Messrs. Washburae

th'e seat is vacant and that a new election
should be had.
Washington, April 1.'—The Post
master General declines to rescind his or

been tsiren from the CiTil Court decision
in April, 1S79. ,
General Chalmers, of Mississippi, in
troduced in the House to-day a bill to
complete the system of Pacific railways.
It was referred to the Committee on Pa
cific Railways, and by that committee to
the sub-committee of which General Chal
mers is chairman. At a meeting of the
full committee to-day, General Chalmers
submitted a substitute for his original bill
and an elaborate report upon the whole
subject. The report, which had • been
carefully prepared, after the closest inves
tigation, was unanimously accepted l»y
the other members of the sub-committee,
and, under instructions from the full com
mittee, the bill was to-day reported to the
House by General Chalmers, and with
the accompanying report ordered printed
and recommitted.
The bill is entitled, an act to complete
the Pacific railway system, and for other
purposes, and proposes a radical depart
ure from all former methods of railroad
legislation, and aims to complete the
roads mentioned, and aid other projects of
pnblic improvement, without entailing
any tax upon the people, or involving the
Government by the endorsement of rail
road bonds. It proposes to restore to the
Government 100,500,000 acres of public
lands heretofore granted to railroad cor
porations, and from their sale at an aver
age price of two dollars per acre, torea-
lizc $21,000,000, to be constituted a pub
lic improvement fund, from which loans
are to be made to railroads upon certain
prescribed conditions, the Government se
curing itselt by first mortgage bonds of
the roads availing themselves of the pro
visions of the act. Provision is made by
the bill not to interfere with homestead
entry, and at the same time to deal wuh
justice and equity with those corpora
tions who lost their legal claims to their
land grants during a great financial cri-
■ It provides that land grants made to
the Southern Pacific, the Atlantic and
Pacific and the Northern Pacific, shall be
forfeited to the United States and sold,
the proceeds to be covered into the treas
ury and set apart as a public improve
ment fund, that when either of the above
mail service to Brazil, was read a second
ms and referred to the Committee on
os) offices and Post Roads.
The Senate proceeded to consider the
calendar bills.
In the House, the morning hour having
been dispensed with, and the considera
tion of private business having been laid
aside, Mr. Blackburn, ofKentucky, moved
that the House resolve itself into a com
mittee of the whole for the consideration
of the Star Service deficiency bill, and,
pending that motion, moved that all de
bate on the billclose at 4.30 o’clock this
afternoon. This gave rise to some discus
sion; the advocates of the Senate amend
ments, as a rule, desiring that debate
should close in one hour, for the reason
that at 1.30 a number of members were to
leave for Philadelphia. Finally,Mr. Black
burn’s motion, after being modified so as
to close the debate at four o’clock, was
adopted, and the House, at 12:40, went
into committee of the whole, Mr. Scales,of
North Carolina, in the chair, on the Star.
Service deficiency bill.
Washington, April 2.—Hi the Senate,
the hill granting a pension] to Jesse T.
Phares, a scout,was advocated by Senators
Kirkwood and Caipenter, who thought a
jension should bo granted to everybody
njured in the military service, and op
posed by Senators Logan, Ingalls and
Platt, because the pension laws do not
cover the cases of scouts. Pending the
debate, the mominghour expired.
Mr. Bruce, from the special committee
on the Freedmen’s Bank, reported back
the hill amending the charter of the
bank, together with a report of. the'.com
mittee’s investigations. Also a bill au
thorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to
purchase the Freedmen’s Bank building
i or the use of the government. Placed on
lbs calendar.
The Senate resumed the consideration
of the bill ratifying the agreement with!
theJJtes. Mr. Coke explained and sup
ported the bill, the speedy passage of.
which was indispensable to prevent troub
le with tbe Indians. Mr. Teller made a
warrant impeachment, and the seventh mont Railroad, who _ have kept trains on
member did not sign either report, not that road, which is principally a coal road,
having been able to participate in the in- ■ idle for nearly two months, have accepted
vestigation on account of illness. The bill
was accompanied by a report of various
investigations, the substanee of which has
been heretofore published.
Atlanta, April 2.—H. Victor New
comb, President of the Louisville aud
Nashville Railroad, and Colonel DeFu-
niak, General Manager, have been in con
sultation with Mr. Wadley, of the Geor
gia Central Railroad. The party left last
night for. Savannah. It is under.tood
here that' the differences between their
two companies have been settled, and.the.
Louisville and Nashville road will aban
don the building of the Georgia Western.
New York, April 3.—The Associated
Press has received by cable returns of the
long speech against the. bill, in which he
ridiculed the idea of lifting Indians into
civilization in a day, by granting them
lands in realty. The genius of Jthe Indian
was opposed .to individuality, and was
suited only to tribal relations. He charged
the Indian Bureau with concealing facts,
and attempting to direct- attention from
its own blunders by charging the miners
of 'Colorado with encroaching on
Indian reservations'. ■ He favored the re-
ffioval of the Indians inUtah to reserva
tions, where they would be comfortable
and harmless.
Mr. Hill, of Colorado, took a different
view from his colleague, aud advocated
the bill as the best practicable solution of
the Indian problem. It opened seventeen -
thousand square miles of good land to set
tlement, aud would avert a war. He de
fended the Secretary of tbe Interior from
the charges of his colleague
At 1:15 p. m. the Senate adjourned un
til Monday.
In the House, Mr. Cannon, of Illinois,
opposed the Senate amendments to the Star
Service appropriation hill, and desired a
committee of conference.
Mr. Valeutine, of Nebraska, advocated
the Senate amendments, as did also Mr.
Aiken, of South Carolina, Mr. Belford, of
Colorado, and Mr. Haskell, of Kansas.
The latter said Mr. Brady had, in the last
four years, turned back into the treasury
three or four milliou dollars, given him
by the Appropriations Committee for mail
service, because he could not use it ad
vantageously. But in this year, when
business had vastly increased, he had
rightly yielded to the demand of the peo
ple for an increased service.
Mr. Hooker, of Mississippi, advocated
the Senate amendment, and was opposed
to crippling the star service.
Mr. Blount, of Georgia, supported the
position of the Appropriation Committee,
and severely condemned the action of the
Post-office Department in striking down
the star service, pending an investigation
by Congress.
Mr. Page, of California, favored the
Senate amendments as affording the money
necessary to conduct an important ser
vice

it mortgage bond, payable one-third
in ten, one-third in twenty, and one-third
in thirty years after date, at three and s
Half percent, interest, payable semi-an
nually.
The bill further provides that the total
amount of such first mortgage bonds so is
sued shall not exceed the total cost in
building and equipping such roads, that
moneys accumulated in said improvement
fund shall only be appropriated by Con
gress for the purpose of aiding in the con
struction of railroads and other public
works, and as a loan to be so paid with
interest. The bill provides for the ap
pointment of three commissioners by the
President to examine railroads or other
property authorized to be constructed,
who shall certify that it has been com!
pleted iu accordance with the terms of the
act of Congress, as a condition precedent
to the granting of a loan. The bill fur
ther provides that for the future it shall
not be effective as to the land grants to
the Texas and Pacific until March 3,1882,
unless that company shall consent thereto
by accepting the provisions of the act.
Bids for carrying the mails over the
steamboat routes, south of the Potomac
and east of the Mississippi rivers, were
opened to-day and referred to a commit
tee. The awards will be made soon.
A delegation of colored men from St.
Louis, headed by J. Milton Turner, called
on the President to-day, and represented
the dissatisfaction of the colored people of
Missouri at not having their services to
the party recognized. The President said
lie favored doing all he could for the col
ored people, and exhibited a copy of a let
ter dated May 7,1879, to the government
officers, directing that no discrimination
he made against colored men in the ap
pointments to positions undey them. -
The Senate committee on railroads
gave a hearing to-day to ex-Govemor
Brown, of Tennessee, Vice President of
the Texas and Pacific Railway Company,
in advocacy of the pending bill to extend
the time for the completion of its road.
The company has built 444 miles of road,
at an expense of $27,000,000, and has
contracted for the completion of its line
to El Paso, an additional distance of 600
miles, by the first of January, 1S83; that
upon the completion sf, the line to El
Paso, the company willnavaconstructed
882 miles of the main line, and will be
operating a total of 1,044 miles, for which
it will not have received one acre of land
or a dollar of money from the govern
ment, although the government enjoys
the same privileges over its lines as over
those of the Union Pacific and the Cen
tral Pacific, which asked liberally from
the start.
He pointed out that the remainder of
the line from El Paso to 'San Diego, is
the only portion to which a land grant
attaches, and before reaching El Paso,
the company will have expended fifty
million dollars of private capi
ta], and as it only suspended operations
in 1873, owing to the panic, and its at
tendant consequences, the government
should, in all fairness, extend the time
fixed by Congress for its completion.
Commodore Edward Barrett, United
States Navy, is dead.
The House Committee. on Military
Affairs adopted a resolution to-day, to be
reported'to the House, with the request
that it be placed upon the army appro
priation bill. The resolution is substan
tially the same as the one attached to the
army hill last year, and provides that no
part of the money appropriated by the
bill, shall be paid out for transportation
of troops to be used as police at polls
during elections.
Washington, April 2.—In the Senate,
on motion of Mr. Beck, it was reso ved
that when the Senate adjourns to-day, it
be to meet on Monday next.
Tbe Vice President laid before the Sen
ate a communication from the Secretary
of War, recommending an appropriation of
fifty thousand dollars for a new military
post between Fort Custer and Assini-
boine.

Harrisburg, Pa., April 3.—The Del-
phin County Court adjourned to-dayomtiV-
the twenty-sixHu None of the men re-
tv-ntla—mrrfri'ted of corrupt solicitation
put in an appearance. The counsel for
the Commonwealth were anxious to have
the court sit on Saturday,' in hope that
Kemble and the rest of the fugitives would
appear at that time for sentence, but the
court did not see the advisability of such
a course. It is generally understood here
that if these men appear in the custody of
the sheriff, they will be admitted to new
bail for their appearance at the session
elections in 218 constituencies in Great^-eommencing on the 26th instant,
least one hundred thousand dollars. He
said seven hundred thousand dollars was
enough to carry on the service for the re
mainder of the fiscal year, and asserted
that the Post-office Department had vio
lated the law by expending money in ex
cess of the appropriations.
Mr. Blackburn, on behalf of the Appro
priation Committee, moved to nox-coucur
in the Senate amendments.
Mr. Stone, of Michigan, acting under
the instructions of the Post-office Com
mittee, moved to concur, which motion
war agreed to, by yeas 88, nays" 79. The
committee then arose and reported its ac
tion to the House, and the recommenda
tion to concur was agreed to—yeas 91,
nays 83. •
This leaves the bill as it passed the
Senate. It appropriates $1,000,000 for the
star service for the current fiscal year;
prohibits the further expediting of the ser
vice on star routes; appropriates $100,000
for new service; forbids the expenditure
of the service to exceed fifty
per cent. of the original
contract price; appropriates $500,000 for
public printing, aud provides that nothing
in it shall affect the validity or legality of
the acts or omissions-of any United States
service.
The House adjourned until to-mor
row.
The Senate, in executive session to-day,
confirmed B. G. Duncan, of South Caroli
na, as Consul at Smyrna, and H. R.
Gatchell, of Georgia, as census supervisor
for the First Georgia District.
Washington, April 2.—James Madi
son Wyatt Stone, colored, was hanged
here to-day for the murder of his wife in
1879. Stone was a large man, weighing,
about two hundred pounds. When the
drop fell, his head was severed from the
body. The body fell to the ground, and
the head, after adhering to the noose for
a few seconds, fell to the ground a few
feet from the body. Dr. Crook picked up
the head, and as he did so, he noticed the
lips move. The features were calm. It
is supposed that fatness had weakened
the muscular tissues, and the neck was
unable to bear the weight of the body, r j
Washington, April 2.—The Cabinet
to-day decided to recommend legis
lation looking to the establishment of
civil government for Alaska. No other
question of public interest was discussed.
Senator Wallace, from the select com
mittee to enquire, into alleged relection
frauds, submitted yesterday a majority re
port concerning political assessments,
which was made public to-day. The ma
jority find that both the letter and spirit
of the statute, which prohibits all execu
tive officers and employes of the govern
ment from soliciting, giving to, or receiv
ing from any other employe money for
political purposes, have been violated, and
that the plain meaning of the President’s
celebrated anti-political assessment order
has not been obeyed.
They inculpate Mr. Gorham, late Sec
retary of the Senate, at the same time
Secretary of the Republican Congressional
Committee, for sending out circulars' to
Government employes, urging them to
make contributions to aid the Republican
party lit 1878: They find that a copy of
this circular was sent to eveiy Govern
ment employe whose salary exceeded $1,-
000, the amount solicited being usually
one per cent, of tbe salary. Tbe whole
sum raised by tlie Republican Committee
from Federal officials was $98,000 and
from other sources $13,000. In 1870 the
same move was carried out,
but two percentum of the salaries was
solicited, aad authority given to the col
lectors of the fund of 1878 to enter the
Departments in Washington during busi
ness bouts to solicit money, aud books
were presented to the employes for their
subscriptions. Three thousand two hun
dred and forty-seven dollars were collec
ted from the employes ot tbe Interior De
partment alone. Inquiry, made as to the
amount received by the Democratic Na
tional Congressional Committee in 1678
developed the fact that $4,695 were collec
ted from members of Congress and pri
vate citizens.
ANNAroLis, Maryland, April 2.—
The Committee of the House of Delegates
to investigate the charges against Judge
Pearre, submitted two reports to-day.

Britain, showing that the Liberals have
elected 206 members, the Conservatives
122 members, and the Home Rulers 12.
The Liberals have gained 58 seats, and
lost 17, while the Home Rulers,'so far,
show a gain of three seats.
PAIUS, April 3.—The Francais affirms
that a complete understanding exists be
tween the religious confraternities, the
Episcopacy imd the leading Conservatives,,
regarding resistance to -the decree of the
government in relation to unauthorized
congregations.
The Gazette de France announces that
a general meeting will be held to-day of
the Supervisors of unauthorized congre-
I rations, for the purpose of adopting, a
, oint plan of action to which all bodies
will conform.
London, April 3.—The Times, in a
leader on the elections, says tbe first
question which arises is what is to be the
composition of the jnew cabinet. Lord
Hartington, in a rece"nt speech, yeemed to
imply that it was in some degree an open
question as to who would lead the Liber
als. It will be for Lord Beaconsfield to
advise the Queen, who is the official
chief. The Parliamentary leader of the
Liberals is Lord Granville, who has every
claim on the ground of past services,
rank 'and ability to become Premier.
Lord Hartington will hold an important
position in the cabinet^ and will lead his
party in the House of Commons.
Dispatches from Paris, Berlin, Vienna
and Rome represent that disappointment
and uneasiness are felt in those capitals
at the success of the Liberal party in
Great Britain, while at St. Petersburg the
news is received \vith the utmost delight.
The steamer Daniel Steinman, from
New York for Antwerp, before reported

Washington, April 3.—The House
met this morning, Mr. Carlisle fn the
chair, for debate only, and immediately
went into committee of the whole on the
state of the Union. ■
Mr. Covert, of New York, addressed
the committee on the subject of the re
vision of the tariff. He had voted the
other day to refer the Townslicnd bill to
the Committee on Ways and Means, not
because he was not in favor of a revision
of the tariff, but because he had thought
that that was the committee which, under
the rule, had jurisdiction over the subject.
He argued especially in favor of a reduc
tion of the duty on steel rails, and in fa
vor of placing chrome ore on the free list,
but though he desired a revision of the ta
riff, he desired it made-in a legitimate,
orderly way, and would therefore oppose
any project looking to the appointment of
a commission on the subject of tariff revis
ion.
Washington, April 3.—In the House,
Mr. Houk, of Tennessee, replied to the
speech made some time ago by Sir. House,
of Tennessee, in which that gentleman
had opened theTildeR campaign, and had
so forcibly reiterated the ancient cry of
fraud. He denied that the gentleman had
expressed the sentiments of the people of
Tennessee. If Le had expressed that of
his party, his speech would stand as a
lasting monument to the vitiated taste
and malignant bate of that party. The
country was told that there had been no
loyalty in the South during the war, aud
it had been told that by the copperheads
of the North—the most venomous ser
pents in the wortd. He asserted that
there had been many loyal -men
in the South, and that that
section had furnished the Federal
army with nearly half a million men.
It seemed that this service was to be for
gotten, and the Tilden campaign prosecu
ted on the policy that friendship to the
Union was to be regarded as a badge of
political infamy and social dishonor. His
colleague (Mr. House) had attacked the
President. He would not attempt to defend
the President, for that officer needed no
defense. For his colleague to assert that
President Hayes had been inaugurated by
fraud, was equivalent to making th) ad
mission that the Democratic party had
been brave enough in 1861 to force
a war without a cause, but too
cowardly to do, so in’ 1877, when it
said that the President had been count
ed in. by uncondonabie fraud. Hew
had the mighty fallen! What had come
over the spirit of the chivalrous Democra
cy of the South? He then tamed his at
tention to the political assessment bill,
ridiculing the present civil service system,
and referring in the course of his remarks
to George William Curtis as the prince of
political humbugs, arid to Secretary Schurz
as the king of civil service reform.
Mr. Lowe, of Alabama, spoke in oppo
sition to the funding bill. He had always
had Democratic sympathies, but he de
clared here and now that of the two old
factions, high tariff and hard money Dem
ocrats, were not to be preferred to hard
money and high tariff Republicans.
The committee rose, and the House at
four o’clock adjourned.
New York, April 3.—A special to an
evening paper, from Reading, Pa., says:
“The people of Honeybrook township,
Chester county, are in a terrible state of
alarm over the depredations of a band of
marauders, who are burning their bams
and driving off their stock. The marau
ders robbed the county schoolhouse of a
large Bible, nailed it to a tree and posted
a notice, with a skull and cross bones at
tached, stating that if they were followed
up to make arrests, fearful desolation
would at once follow. A number of the
members of the community have had
their horses and cattle poisoned.
. Chicago, Aprils.—The Chicago Times
proposes to introduce a new feature in the
publication of newspapers. It is making
preparations to vary the size of its sheet
every day, according to the amount of
news it has to publish. If forty-eight
columns are needed, it will have a forty-
eight column sheet. If it has ninety col
umns of news and other essential matter,
a ninety column paper will appear. By
this means, the Pones expects to avoid the
necessity of printing triple or quadruple
sheets when additional space is needed.

Washington, April 3.—The Donelly-
Waslibume case bids‘fair to lead to new
and unexpected complications. Mr.
Springer, chairman of .the House Com
mittee on Elections, has received a letter
from Representative Manning, stating
that he proposed specific charges against
him (Springer) affecting the motives
which actuated his course and determined
his vote in the case, and will on Monday
call the attention of the House to the
matter, and ask for a thorough investiga
tion.
In conversation to-day, while declining
to express his opinion as to the true
cause or animus of this attack upon the
integrity of ibis conduct, Mr. Springer sta
ted that at the proper time he should
show to his colleagues and the country
that his vote upon the Douelly-Wash-
bume case was strictly in accordance with
his convictions, and that no shadow of
foundation exists for any charge or insinu
ation of corrupt .motives or improper in
fluences.
General Gibson, of Louisiana, has re
ceived a petition forwarded to him by the
bar and. leaning merchants of New Or
leans, without regard to party,asking some
increase of salary for the United States
District Judge of that district. The pe
tition sets forth that an extraordinary
amount of business of all kinds within
Federal jurisdiction, is constantly crowd
ed upon the judge, making his labor more
severe than is usual with district judges.
London. April 3.—A correspondent of
the Times at Berlin says he has good rea
sons for stating that in the highest official
circles the prospect of a Liberal victory iu
the Parliamentary elections in England
is regarded with no small fear and trem
bling. The universal belief in Germany
is that the peace of. Europe would be
much more assured under a Tory than
unde^-a Whig Government.
The St. Petersburg correspondent ofthe
Standard states that a document bearing
on the judicial aspect of the Nihilist Hart
mann, will shortly be sent to Paris with a
note to Premier Defreycinct only, and
that if after this the French Government
shows a conciliatory disposition, it is not
improbable that Prince Orloff will return
to Paris as Ambassador, after the Russian
Easter Holidays.
New York, April 3.—At a Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church, held
here to-day, six gentlemen were elected to
deacon’s orders, and one to elder’s orders.
There was a lively discussion as to ac
cepting the report of the commitcee ap-
pointed to consider the question whether
the position of Presiding Elder should be
elective or by appointment. The matter
was referred back to the committee. Del
egates were elected to the General Con
ference, to be held at Cincinnati in May.
St. Louis, April 3.—A special dispatch
from Ottowa, *Kansas, says a cyclone
struck that place about seven o’clock last
evening, completely demolishing some
residences on Elm street, and badly dam-
aging five others in the same vicinity. The
cyclone then passed over five or six blocks
and again struck the ground near the riv
er, where it destroyed several residences
and barns. In North Ottowa twelve or
fifteen residences were totally destroyed.

A New Disease.
• A Geneva correspondent of the London
Times announces great mortality among
the workmen and horses employed in the
St. Gothard Tunnel, from the generation
of a worm in the intestines—the result of
the bad air of the tunnel. This disease
has increased wonderfully in the past six
menths, as the workmen at either end
penetrate toward the - centre, and so get
into a worse atmosphere, further vitiated
by peipetual explosions and the smoke of
500 oil lamps. The temperature ranges
from 80 to 95. ' Seventy to eighty per cent,
of the men suffer from this complaint,
with an average mortality of about thirty
per cent, per annum. The horses drop
dead as if struck by a bullet, and the
average life of the horse in the tunnel
does not exceed four months. Some of
the Swiss papers challenge these state
ments of the savants as exaggerated, hut
their general truth is not denied.
A Eefreshine Season From on High.
The protracted meetings in the First
Baptist and Mulberry Street Methodist
Churches were continued through the
past week and were well attended. In
the former, Dr. Warren brought the ex
ercises to a close on Friday night, after a
general and profitable awakening among
his membership aud a dozen or more
.hopeful conversions.
In the Methodist Church Dr. Rivers
continued his labors with great fervor and
success until Saturday morning. Laige
numbers flocked to the sanctuary daily,
aud the interest has steadily deepened.
So much has the faithful pastor, Dr. Key,
been encouraged by the manliest presence
of the Holy Spirit, that he has determined
to prolong the exercises through the en
suing week, and it is hoped that a great
and precious revival, under the Divine
blessing, will follow. The people of both
of the above congregations seem greatly
stirred up, and much good has already
been accomplished.

MACON’S TRADE.
/ jiB —
Dry Goods, Shoes ana XEata.
We challenge any city of equal popula
tion ia the United Slates, to show up such
a trade as that done by Macon in the dry
goods, shoe and hat line. Her vast ware
houses stand upon every street, and
throughout them may be seen at all sea
sons throngs of employes busily engaged
in selling, packing and shipping. Her
traveling agents traverse every county of
Georgia,Tlorida and Alabama, and in
every jobbing city of the .North her
merchants may be found. It is not a ques
tion of thousands, hut of millions. For
tunes have been made and laid aside,
hundreds of families have been kept and
supported on it, and through all other
branches of business the touch, the influ
ence of this mighty trade in dry goods is
felt.
Yesterday, a reporter called upon the
principal houses in the city to try and ar
range some schedule by which a correct
estimate of this business could be obtain
ed. The figures which follow, are take
from the estimates placed upon last year’s
business, and not upon this, though had
the latter been done, the figures would
have been largely in our favor. It was
found impossible, too, to separate the dry
goods from the hat and shoe trade, so we
give them all combined:

That the business of the Macon office is
steadily increasing, is conclusively shown
by the official record. In the sale of
stamps, envelopes, and postal cards, the
increase in the quarter ending September
30th, 1879, over that ofthe same quarter
ofthe preceding year, was 6.45 per, cent.;
'feo^nt^rarease'overriiat of 1878 was
12.64, and in the quarter ending March
31st, 1880, the increase over that of 1879
was 18.04. This is a good showing for
Macon, it being in most respects an index
to the increase of our commercial busi
ness.

—Everybody knows that during the
past six months there has been extraordi
nary activity in railway construction, hut,
the magnitude of the movement has not
been very, definitely determined until now,
and the result is such as may well create
astonishment. The New York Bulletin
hat a statement showing that, from the
1st of September last until the 25th ult.,
nearly 3,000 miles have been actually
constructed, and 12,651 miles projected.
Total construction and projection, fifteen
thousand six hundred and twenty-five
miles. Should the country experience
no financial disarrangement during the

that a majority of these new undertakings
will be well on to completion, thus ad

Short curls, though not sought after to

The use of very, cheap false hair should
