at dteswegfct Sfxmenal $t BfteajsjmgjMev assi Sumter fiepublican * While at Lees burg last week, Mr. D. A. Pettis presented us with a plug of tobacco manufactured on his place in Lee county, which is said to be equal to any manufactured in Vir ginia. It was two years old. Mr. Pettis informed us that he makes enough to answer all purposes. He also informed us that he had been living in Lee county over forty years. He never had a chill and never taok a dose of medicine during that time. TnE“canawl season” has opened in Augusta, and the pleasure seekers will en gage the attention of the transportation agent. Augtsta is to have a new mill to spin yarns. We are sorry that Bill Moore’s oc cupation will be gone, but glad that Mr. McCoy will apply his machine for a bet ter class of yams than Bill is in the habit of spinning. Mb. B. W. Thomas, of Baldwin county, writes us: “The wheat crop of this section is wholly ruined by rust, and I hear of rust in some oat fields, but have seen none. We have had to-day at intervals of about two hours three heavy rainfalls accompanied each time with heavy hail, some of the stones as large as guinea eggs, doing a great deal of damage.” Atlanta wins the Southern Normal College. We congratulate our enterpris ing neighbor on her victory. We clip the following from the Atlanta Post: At any rate the nest session of the Southern Normal College will be opened in Atlanta. It is not yet decided where the new buildings are to be erected. A committee from the Council has that question, together with other matters in relation to the school now under consider ation. But there is yet one item lacking to make the work complete. In addition to what the State has done and what the city has agreed to do, there must be raised by subscription the sum of $7,000. There is no doubt that this sum can be easily raised in a few days. A little daughter of cousin John Thrasher fell down the elevator at the cotton factory in Atlanta, the other day, and was quite seriously hurt. The Savannah doctors disagree as to the “National Board of Health” and its powers. The News presents two very in teresting letters on the subject—one for and the other against the proposed in crease of power. Dr. J. G. Thomas is in favor, and Dr. L. A. Fallrgant opposed to this measure. Dublin Gazette: Last Wednesday as Mr. Byron Whitehead, who lives in Har vard’s District, was going to his field on his horse, with a plow stock on his shoul der, the horse became frightened, threw him ofT and cut a bad gash on his thigh, at the same time breaking it. Dr. Carroll set the broken limb and he i3 now doing well. Savannah News: The Baltimore schooner A. Denike, Captain Bobanncn, is reported missing. She sailed from Bal timore with a cargo of coal some time since for Hoboken, and a number of ves sels sailing at the same time for the same destination, have arrived, delivered car eer, and returned to Baltimore, and the Jenike has not been heard from. This news will be received here with regret, as Captain Bohannen had been trading at this port for some time in the Denike, and was a whole-souled, genial gentle man,and made a number of warm friends at this port, both in and out of shipping circles. The following three items we clip from the Augusta Evening News: Ground will be broken to-morrow morning for the laying out and decoration of the new city park. The old parade ground will be formally and actually turned in, over and under, for this pur pose, and the best wishes of citizens of Augusta are in the work.. The inaugura tion of this important internal improve ment will be attended with formal cere monies and three cheers for his honor, Mayor May. Sheriff Kendall, of Wilkes county, arrested on Thursday, John Coxwell, Jim Blackburn, Newt Nicholls and Ernest Walker, all white, and committed them to jail in Washington. They are sup posed to be implicated in the Turner murder, which shocked that community several'weeks ago. Solicitor Keese went up Saturday, and after a preliminary ex amination they were fully committed to await the action of the grand juiy. After giving two of his wonderful water exhibitions in Augusta, and attract ing the interest and attendance of large crowds at the canal basin, Captain Boy- ton has returned to Charleston, where he will give a swimming exhibition, and a lecture on his adventures for the benefit of the Irish relief fund. The visit of Paul Boyton, the king of the waves, will long be remembered in Augusta. Cleave land Advertiser: Mr. Jesse R. Lurnsden, of Nacoochee, Georgia, in forms us that since the first of March, 1880, he has taken out' five hundred forty- five and a half pennyweights of gold at an actual cost of thirty-seven dollars and twenty-five cents. This mine is on the J. L. Richardson property, and we wish the generous hearted Jesse could take out the above stated amount of gold eveiy day, at paste “for rent" on tne moon anu stars, The Dublin Gazette says that in but never for a moment delude your- Wrightville,on Wednesday last, a railroad meeting of Johnson,Washington and Lau rens counties was held, and a committee appointed to conferwitli the Central road. The people of Johnson are very enthusias tic over the matter, and seem rather san guine of a success. Atlanta Post, of the 5th, says passen gers who came in on the Air Line trains last night and this morning,Jgive tragic ac counts of a fearful rain ana wind storm, amounting to almost a cyclone, which swept diagonally across the Air-Line rail road on last Saturday. Since Saturday morning no trains reached Atlanta by this road until last night, and the outgoing trains failed to get through beyond Mt. Airy. The cyclone was about, three miles wide, and crossed the road beyond Mt. Airy. The rain was fearful and the wind terrific. The read bed had washed out in several places and trees were thrown across the track, some of them having been blown from a great distance. The dam age to timber, fences, roads and fields is very great. Hands were at work yester day and Saturday and the railroad is now in a passable condition,-though hav ing sustained considerable damage. Athens Chronicle: ' One of our most popular ministers was drawn into a dis cussion by a merchant a few days ago, on the suject of praving for rain. The mer chant was skeptical about it, and contend ed that the rain fall was governed by fixed laws. The minister referred to sev eral cases in the Scripture where requests were granted in answer to prayer—citing specially the case of Elijah. The mer chant admitted the point, and remarked that another notable case of the suspen sion of natural laws, was when Elijah commanded the sun to stand still. “True,” said the minister, “but you have the wrong name. Elijah was not the man who commanded the san to stand still.” “Who was it?” innocently inquired the merchant. “Gideon,” said the minister, in an ab sent-minded, but triumphant, way.

Augusta Chronicle April 6: Tester- day afternoon a special confirmation was held by Bishop Beckwith, and six persons received the rite—Hon. John P. King, Judge Claiborne Snead and wife, Major George P. McWhorter and daughter, and Mr. J. W.Panlcnin. The Free Press says: Quitman has the finest court room in Geotgia and the least use for it. Two or three times a year the judges and lawyers meet here, tell long yarns, pass the compliments of the season, smoke a great many cigars for which somebody else pays, admire the frescoing and themselves, compliment Judge Hansel 1, which is proper, and seek other pastures green. We have received the Sandersville Mercw.-y, a new candidate for public pat ronage, published by Messrs. Jemigan & Scarborough. The following is their salu- tatoiy: It is made our duty, by a time-honored custom in entering upon the field of jour nalism, to introduce ourselves and to avow our principles. This we do to-day, prom ising to be true and steadfast in the defense of right. While to aid in the execution of the laws, the preservation of order, the continuance of peace and the prosperity of our people—will be both a duty and a pleasure. Believing firmly in the principles of Democracy as enunciated by Jefferson and Jackson, we will defend and maintain them. Personalities we will not indulge in, nor will we make war on any one, hut hope by fair competition and honest en deavor not only to merit but to achieve success; we make no pretensions, but will strive to present a paper that will be a welcome visitor to every household. Jonesboro News: The prospect of the wheat crop in this section is quite gloomy. Tims early in the season, much of the wheat is attacked by the old-fashion red rust, of which there is no doubt, and it is thought that some wheat fields will not head out at all. Hamilton Journal: A team of mules ran away while crossing Dowdell’s Gap, last Saturday, throwing the driver out, badly fracturinghis skull and otherwise bruising him. He was carried home im- ' mediately and medical attention given him, but he has been unable to speak .since he fell. , Sumter Republican: As Mr. Eugene Byrd was returning to town from his home on Friday night last, and when just oppo site the fair grounds, some unknown per son made an attempt to stab him. The would he assassin was crouched behind a tree, and as Mr. Byrd passed the stroke was made, cutting through the coat and shirt sleeve of the left arm, and causing a slight wound. The fellow then took to his heels, followed by two bullets from Mr. Byrd’s pistol. Whether the bullets stopped on coming up with him or passed beyond, like the identity of the Seeing man, is unknown. Columbus Times: We learn that Tal iaferro Jones, a young man attending Col lege at Auburn, and well known in this section, was accidentally shot while care lessly handling an “I didn’t know it was loaded” last week. Pistols are bad play things for school boys. The “baddish boys” of Columbus have lately been disturbing the serenity of the editor of the Times, who says: Some time ago the Times called the at tention of the police to the fact that bad boys or some one e'se were committing depredations in the lower part of the city, by cutting gates, injuring cows, etc. For awhile there seemed to be a lull in the mischief, but it has broken out again, Mr. James Deaton being the sufferer. Some one veiy maliciously cut his gate night before last. He thinks, however, he has the boy spotted, and he had bet. ter look out, or it may go hard with liim- The Valdosta Times says: Abe Wolf, an old colored man, living on Mr. Joe Lewis’ place, in the river fork district of this county, was brutally murdered by un known parties last Friday night. He and his wife lived alone in a little log house, some distance from any other habitation, and the night of the killing, at a late hour, she ran up to Mr. Lewis’ house, in her night clothes, and roused them up with the story that two negro men, un known to her, had forced her husband to give up his money and had taken him out and killed him. She was bruised and bloody, and said they had knocked her down with a club. Conyers Examiner: A lot of steel rail is being distributed along the Geor gia Railroad, as far as this place, and soon the whole line of the road will be laid with steel bars and new ties, and the Georgia Railroad can then compete with any road in the South, as to speed; new coaches, and such other equipments re quired to make a fust-class road, are be- iug supplied. Valdosta Times: The scarcity of com in the Bumam settlement is becom ing almost alarming. Many of the small farmers are out with no money and no credit to buy. We learn that some of them are begging a single milling. Athens Banner: One of our young Athenian lawyers defending a rather good- looking female client charged with lar ceny, closed his appeal to the jury thus: “Gentlemen, you may hang the ocean on a grapevine to dry, lasso, an avalanche, pin a napkin to the mouth of a volcano, skim the clouds frpm the sky with a tea spoon, throw salt on the tail of our noble American eagle, whose sleepless eye watches over the welfare of the nation, paste “for rent” on the moon and stars, but never for a moment delude your selves with the idea that this good-look ing girl is guilty of the charge preferred against her.” The jury acquitted her without leaving their seats. The following is requested to be pub lished: To the People of Georgia:—On the 25th instant the Lumpkin Masonic Female Col lege was totally destroyed by fire. The building was erected in 1853 and cost $12,000. It had been, the pride and or nament of our town for years, and now when we are impoverished it is swept away. To hsar of its destruction will sad den the hearts of many ladies in Georgia who were educated at this college,and will bring a pang of grief to the parent who is indebted to this institution for the training of his children. We wish to rebuild, but not such an expensive edifice, and re gret that our community is not able to even do this. We ask for contributions to aid us, and we believe that our appeal will not be in vain. Any amount will be received, proper acknowledgements will be made through the press and the fund will be deposited In bank. Subscriptions ^ can be made in Atlanta to Chamberlin, Boynton & Co., or Rev. C. A. Evans; in Columbus, to Watt & Walker or Rev. J. H. Campbell: in Macon, to Flanders Brothers or T. Hardeman,Jr.; in Americus to F. E. Burke; in Cuthbert, to John T. Clarke; in Eufaula, toSinger Brothers; in Savannah, to J. H. Estill; in Augusta, to Walsh & Wnght. Citizens of Lumpkin. The Columbus Enquirer says: Hon. H. W. Hilliard, Minister to Brazil, with his family will return to our city in May. The Arlington Advance says: The Early County Agricultural Society, which, for three or four years, has been compara tively dead, is reviving with flattering prospects of a bright future. The stated \ meetings are on the fourth Saturday in each month, 10 o’clock, a. m. And this from the same paper: A lov ing wife suddenly disappeared from home, leaving the following note: “Dear hus band—I left in peace and joy. My body will be found bv some one. Show this note to mother and give a kiss to all. The to-; shall be found and the dead shall rise. I will meet you again. I had to do t'i : s, but, dear husband, I had no ill feel- ii.:■ ’ towards you.” "Dear husband” was greatly grieved until he learned that hi-- ,v if,> was aiive and well with another girls. The latter were dressed in white. with wreaths on their beads, and long flowing lace veils, and were undercharge of the Sisters, and presented a beautiful spectacle as they moved down the broad aisles. The ceremony was deeply impress ive, and the music of the choir was su perb. The Bight. Reverend J. W. Beckwith, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Geor gia, preached and administered the sol emn rite of confirmation at Christ Church yesterday morning. The Bishop deliv ered a poweiful and deeply Interesting sermon on “Science vs. Religion,” which elicited the careful and earnest attention of the vast congregation. At its close the class for confirmation, numbering twen ty-three, was called and proceeded to the altar, when the Bishop, in his impressive manner, administered the holy rite of con firmation. On next Sunday morning at II o’clock the Bishop will confirm the class at St. John’s Church. Athens Chronicle: Rev. John Calvin Johnson got a serious fall last Wednesday afternoon. He was standing -on a truck in Reaves & Nichols m’s store, when the wheels ran out, causing the fall. His head struck a post, and he was speechless for a few minutes. Gbiffin Sun: Colonel J. D. Alex ander, the senior editor of the News, has now been confined to his bed over three weeks from a severe attack of inflamma tory rheumatism. He was* doing very well until yesterday, when he met with an unfortunate fall upon his leg (which is affected by the rheumatism) while being moved in his bed. This misfortune will somewhat retard his recovery, though we hope to see him soon ia the enjoyment of his old health. Augusta News: The river has taken another rising into its head, and it is breaking in and out all along its face and looking for its mouth. Augusta mills on the second and third canal levels have been compelled to stop running to-day. The Atlanta Constitution,of yesterday, contains a long description of the trial pf Sam Hill, who has gained much notoriety as the murderer of John Simmons, on the charge of lunacy. The following physicians testified that they believed that Sam Hill was a fit sub ject for the insane asylum: Drs. S. H. Stout, John M. Johnson, Charles Pinck ney, Willis Westmoreland, E. S. Bay, W. R. D. Thompson, John M. Boring. The case came up before Judge Pitman, Ordinaiy of Fultou county. Thejtuy ex- amiued the applicant, and after one hour and a half spent in deliberation, the fore man, Dr. Owen, handed in the verdict, announcing that the jury had found the applicant insane. The Ordinary will order him to the asylum in % few days. Thus Sam Hill escapes a life-time ser vice in the penitentiary. Db. Gatchell was confirmed super visor of census for the Atlanta District without hesitation, in lieu of Simmons of “secesh” notoriety,in the Senate the other day. The Atlanta Constitution says: “W. A. Huff, Mayor of Macon, visited Atlanta Sunday. At an early day he will remove to Atlanta to live, and will assume charge of the Markham, while Mr. Brown, the other member of the firm, presides over his interests at Blue Ridge Springs, Vir ginia. If Mr. Huff becomes a citizen of Atlanta what will we do for a Mayor ? The Monroe Advertiser says: The great trouble that is troubling our people is, will the wheat crop prove a total failure ? We have seen a few patches and the prospect is not promising. There is considerable appearance of the yellow color, due, we suppose, to rust or wet weather. Mr. Mc- Muliin, from the fourth district, reports that his wheat and oat crops are thrifty and vigorous, with no appearance thus far of rust. The Columbus Enquirer says: The East Alabama and Cincinnati Railroad was sold at Opelika, Alabama, yesterday. The road has been operated some years from Opelika to LaFayctte, a distance of some twenty miles. It was the original intention, we believe, to extend to Gads den on the Tennessee river. It was bid off for $170,000 by an agent of the bond holders, who, we are informed, are capi talists in the North. There were several bidders. A syndicate formed at Opelika went as high as $161,000. We have been told that the Alabama and Great South ern Railroad Company (formerly Alabama and Chattanooga) were very anxious for this line so as to include it in its system. Sylvania Telephone: We learn that on Thursday the 25th ultimo, a dwelling house at the saw mill of G. T. Palmer & Co., in this county, caught on “fire, and while it was blazing all the inmates made their escape. Mrs. Brown, the sister of Mr. Palmer, re-entered the burning build ing for the purpose of rescuing a trunk containing some valuables belonging to herself. She succeeded in getting out of the house through the rapidly spreading flames, but in a day or two afterwards died from the effect of burns sustained while making her escape. Fires are get ting all too frequent of occurrence in our county, and parties cannot be too careful with so dangerous an element. Americus lice order: Mrs. Jack Rob erts, of Loe county, came very near being burned to death last week. In kindling a fire, to hasten matters, she poured kero- sonc from a can upon the -wood. A blaze flashed up, exploded the can, and scatter ed the oil over Mrs. Roberts. She was in stantly enveloped in flames, and was only saved by the timely assistance of her hus band, who quickly threw a quilt around her and smothered the fire. The house took fire, hut was extinguish ed by some servants on the lot. Mrs. Roberts is now lying in a critical condi tion. Monboe Advertiser: The county com missioners of Talbot county have organ ized a county chain gang. We hope that as soon as tfco condition of our finances will admit that Monroe county will have a chain gang for this purpose, believing, as we do, that with this system ihe roads will be much better worked. Newnan Herald: Last Saturday night at a festival of the colored people bf the neighborhood on the premises of John B. Goodwyn, some five or six miles frota this city, a misundeistandingoccurred be tween Wilse Newell and Anderson Clem ents about some change, we understand, to the amount of ten cents, when Clem ents procured a doable barreled shot gun, both barrels heavily loaded, and shot Newell, killing him instantly. Clements made his escape. He carried the gun with him about one hundred and fifty yards and then set it down in the corner of a fence. When found, the other bar rel was still loaned and the gun cocked. Columbus Enquirer says: On the 25th the eighteen year old daughter-of Mr. Thomas Willis, of Steward county, was burned so that she died that night. Her clothing caught while she was stand ing with her back to the fire, when she ran. Her mother endeavored .to reach her with a pail of water, but fell. Some years ago Mr.. Willis lost a younger child in the burning of his dwelling. Monboe Advertiser: We think the chances are good for a new hotel on the public square. A joint stock company is talked of to build on the lot where Greer’s hotel formerly stood. One man proposes to furnish all the lum ber needed, another will take stock to the value of the lot, and others will furnish money and bricks. Columbus Enquirer says: The Presbyterian Church of -our city has had the good fortune to secure, as sta ted, supply for the ensuing year, Rev. Robert P. Kerr, new of Thomasville. He has accepted the invitation, and will en ter upon the discharge, of his duties on the first Sunday in May. We are in formed that he is a gentleman of some forty years of age, a native of Tennessee, has a wife and no children, is a minister of learning and remarkable pulpit power. \thens Banner says of the University elections held on the 5th inst: cieties yesterday: Phi Kappa Society, for champion debate, W. H. Steele, South Carolina; J. T. Malone, Milledgeville, Ga.; B. H. Noble, Athens, Ga. Spring debate, George R. Brown, Canton, Ga.: Henry C. Tuck, Clark county, Ga.; Hi Y.

Lavender, Monroe county, Ga.; M. A. Candler, Jr. Decatur, Ga. The Rome Tribune of the 26th says : On Saturday night last all the prison ers in Dalton jail broke out and got away. There were five of them, one.charged with forgery and the others with different of fenses. Up to date none of them have been captured. Yesterday when Judge McCutcheon had the roll called, not a prisoner answered to his name. Montezuma Weekly: The “Beady Helpers,” of ‘Marahallville, realized $75 from the lecture of Colonel J. C. Ruther ford, which will bs used towards the completion of the Methodist Church. Athens Banner: The track of the Air- Line railroad for thirteen miles was wash ed up on last Saturday. The railroad bridge over Tugaloo river was washed away. It will be three weeks before the road will be in running order. The rain was the heaviest ever known. The Newnan Herald says: A cutting scrape occurred early Sunday morning last on the farm of Judge J. W. Powell, two. miles from this city, between two families of negroes about two eggs, in which all hands, women, girls, boys and men of both families seem to have taken apart. Jarred Alexander was hit over the eye with a hoe and Oiford Powell was cut in the back with a knife and otherwise seriously, if not mortally wounded by old man Jarred’s son. The case was set down for investigation before Judge Pow ell yesterday. About the “immigrant hoys,” the Syl vania Telephone publishes the following : Judge Hobby hands us a postal card containing the following, which has been received by him recently, in regard to those boys for our planters. Our impres sion of the matter now is that the whole thing is a first class fraud, gotten up by some scheming New Yorker to swindle our people and the best course that can be pursued Is for Judgo Hobby to demand the return of the funds sent on by him for so many of our citizens: Atlanta, Ga., March 27,1SS0. Hear Sir:—Your card of the 24th at hand. Mr. Holt, the Southern agent of the C. A. Society, of New York, sailed last Saturday, the 20tb, with a company of boys for Brooks county, from which the first applcations wore filed. This is probably all he will bring out this spring on account of shortness of funds. He proposes to bring others if the parties •will pay half tne fare out. Write to H. A. Holt, 19 East Fourth street, New York. Yours, etc., J. S. Newman. Bailroad News. Messrs. Newcomb, de Funiak and their associates, have passed through our city to Atlanta. Up to this writing we hear no confirmation of the startling news from Atlanta that Colonel Wadley would re tire and General Alexander become the future hsad of the Central and Georgia Roads. Many discredit the report. The Savannah News of Tuesday says: President Newcomb and General Man ager Funiak were busily engaged through out yosteiday in examining into the af fairs of the Central Railroad and Ocean Steamship Company, with the view to ob taining definite information in regard to their operations., These investigations, we are positively informed, have proven eminently satisfactory. In answer to a direct question, Presi dent Newcomb informed us that all differ ences heretofore existing between -the Louisville and Great Southern and the Central had been fully and satisfactorily adjusted, and that only minor details, concerning which there was no dispute, re mained to be carried out. What these de tails were or the nature of the arrange ment that had been effected, he was not at liberty at present to tell us, but he was sure that the people ofSavannah would be thoroughly satisfied with the result. There is no doubt that Savannah has been agreed upon as the terminus of what may be considered the most powerful railroad combination in the country, and immense benefit to this port and to the Central Railroad may be anticipated with every assurance. There are various rumors afloat in regard to the matter, but it were useless to repeat speculations and vaga ries. Suflice it that we have President Newcomb’s positive assertion that all dif ferences have been' arranged, and that the oflicial announcement of the combination will be made in due time. With the de tails, which are private to the great cor porations concerned, the public have naught to do. It is gratifying to know that the railroad situation, which has been so unsettled and perplexing, is now serene, and that a great future is now opened to Savannah and Georgia. The same paper in an editorial upon the commissioners’ schedule, reports Gov ernor Smith as having remarked to a Sa vannah gentleman “that it was not the intention of the commission to adopt any course which would be injurious to the railroads of Georgia; that they, (tho Com missioners) reasoned that the stock of the roads should he at least worth par to the holders thereof, and that the basis upon which the tariff would eventually be set tled would be to allow an interest of about 7 per cent, on the capital invested in railroad stocks, worth one hundred cents on the dollar. These two state ments should be sufficient to justify the •belief that tho Commissioners will so reg ulate their system of rates as not to crip ple railroad enterprise in Georgia.” If this is done, and at the same time unjust and injurious discriminations are prohibited, there will be little cause left for complaint either by the people or rail roads of the State. Novel Invention by a Young Savan- nahian. For several months past one of our young mechanics has been engaged in building a rather novel water craft, which for the want of a better name he has designated “a water velocipede.” Every! thing' about it is so exceedingly simple that we think a somewhat detailed de scription will be sf interest. It is composed of two air-tigbt cigar shaped zinc cylinders, nine feet six inches in length from point to point, securely fastened parallel to each other five feet four inches apart, each capable of sustain ing some two hundred pounds; upon these are four uprights to which cross pieces are attached; in the centre is a large paddle wheel of rather peculiar construction, the upper part of which is completely cov ered by the wheel box to prevent the oc cupant being splashed; a little to the rear of the centre is the seat, the wheel being operated by the feet precisely like the common velocipede,the only difference be ing that the hand or cross pieces operate the rudder instead of the wheel. The whole apparatus is as completely under control as an ordinary boat. On last Friday night, the moon being full, our young friend concluded to give this novel water craft a trial, and was surprised at tlic re markable speed attained. He was busy yesterday making a few final alterations, and will give a public exliibition between Market dock and DeRenue’s wliarf at 11 o’clock this morning. It has been intimated that some of our young boatmen intend giving him a race. The sight will certainly be worth seeing. “If I had to walk from here to Balti more for it, I would not be without Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup in my family,” is The fol’owing gentlemen were elected what we heard a lady say yesterday, in the Phi Kappa anl Demosthenian So- Price only 25 cents a bottle. CONGRESSIONAL. Washington, April 5.—In the Senate. Mr. Bayard, from the Committee on the Judiciary, reported adversely on the bill to facilitate negotiations of bills of ladin and other commercial instruments, an* to punish fraud therein. Indefinitely postponed. The Senate then proceeded to consider calendar bills. In the House, under tne call of States, the following bills were introduced and referred: By Mr. Gibson, of Louisiana, ■relative to the appointment and pay of the Mississippi River Commissioners. Al so 1 to entitle State Banks to circulate notes on the same conditions as National Banks, provided that. they comply with the provisions of tha National Bank law, relative thereto. By Mr. Cox, of New York, a bill rela tive to the appointment of clerks and offi cers of the Federal courts as referees. By Mr. Davis, of Missouri, a resolution requiring the Postmaster-General to mail on the first of each month to every mem ber of Congress an itemized statement of all mail contracts made during the preceding month. Washington, April 6.—In the Senate, Mr. Williams introduced a bill rej. the statute which prohibits farmers ani planters from selling leaf tobacco directly at retail to consumers, without a special tax, which was referred. The bill granting a pension to Jesse F, Phares, a scout, was laid aside until Mr. Withers, who wishes to speak on it, shall bo. present. The bill to amend sections 2262 and 2301 of the Revised Statutes, so as to per mit the affidavits required by those sec tions in connection with pre-emptions he made before county clerii instead of land registers, was passed. The morning hour having expired the Sen ate resumed the consideration of the bill ratifying the agreement with the Ute In dians. Mr. Morgan opposed the bill. It would take four million dollars out of tlie Treasury, and was not well conceived. It violated the act of 1871, which provided that the Nation shall he recognized as an independent nation, tribe or power, with whom the United States may contract by treaty. The agreement with the Utes was simply a treaty, and plainly violated that law. The Supreme court has fre quently held that treaties with' Indians can he had at pleasure. Congress can dispose of the Utes as it sees lit, but not by treaty. He stated that the treaty of 1868 with the Utes contains provisions for the entry of lands by individuals for their private use quite as effectual as tho pro vision in this agreement, and he thought better to pass a bill requiring the Utes to avail themselves of that right. This would accomplish the desired object with out a violation of the statutes. Besides the legal objections, he pointed out many defects in the provisions of the bill, aud intimated that he would probably move to recommend it to the Indian Commit- Mr. Dawes opposed the bill, ne thought it impossible for adult Indians to change their habits and adopt civilized customs. He wpuld rather have the four millions that the bill would cost devoted to the education of Indian children in our language, ideas and customs. This would gradually and peacefully solve tho Indian question. After an Executive Session, the Senate adjourned. in the House, a bill was introduced by Mr. Chalmers,for the relief of the heirs of colored soldiers. By Mr. Aimfield, of North Carolina, to abolish the tax on spirits distilled from apphs, peaches, grapes and pears, and to reduce the tax on spirits distilled from grain or mixtures thereof to twenty-five cents per gallon, and providing that pro ducers of leaf tobacco may sell the same in quantities of not more than ten pounds at a time without license. By Mr. King, of Louisiana, a bill amending section twenty-two of the Texas Pacific 4ct. At the conclusion of the call of States, Mr. Manning, of Mississippi, rose' to a question of personal privilege. He sent to the clerk’s desk and had read an article in the Washington Post of Saturday last, relativo to the action of Mr. Springer, of Illinois, chairman of the Committee on Elections,in the Donnelly-Washbum con tested election case. The article stated that Manning charged Springer with du plicity in that case, with the deception of iiis Democratic associates on the commit tee as to fils attitude toward the contes tants, and with corruption, aud stated fur ther that Mr. Manning proposed to demand an investigation of Mr. Springer’s conduct. Mr. Manning said he had made no charge and expressed no opinion with regard to Mr. Springer’s conduct. Mr. Springer then made a personal statement denying the truth of the char ges referred to. As to' Mr. Manning’s de nial that he had endorsed such charges, it merely raised a question of veracity be tween Mr. Manning and the reporter of the Post. Mr. Springer produced an anonymous letter received by him, offer ing to pay his wife $5,000 if he would vote to keep Wtshburne in his seat in spite of the Democrats. He had not • suspected Waslihume’s friends of sending the lett >r, but regarded it as an attempt on the part of Donnelly’s friends to bulldoze him, because they had learned that he would not Tote to suit them. Some time after he received tho letter signed “Henry,” a friend of Don nelly urged him to vote for the seating of Donuelly instead of for a new election. Mr. Springer said the handwriting of tlii3 and the anonymous one were alike. Mr. Weaver, of Iowa, moved to suspend the rules aud adopt a resolution setting forth that it is the sense of the House that all currency, whether metallic or paper, necessary for the convenience of the peo ple, should be issued, and its volume be controlled by the government, and not by bank corporations, aud when so Issued should be full legal tender for all public and private debts; that the public debt should not be funded at long dates, but should be kept payable as rapidly as pos sible; and that, to enable the government to meet these payments, the mints should be operated to their utmost capacity in the coinage of standard silver dollars aud other coins required by the business inter ests of the country. The House then adjourned. Washington, April 6.—The Senate, alter some unimportant business, pro ceeded to consider the calendar of unfin ished business, being the bill of Mr. Max- ey, of Texas, to authorize a retired list of non-commissioned army officers of thirty years’ service. The bill was favored by Messrs. Maxey, Logan, Hampton, and Burnside, and opposed by Mr. Beck. At the expiration of the morning hour, the bill went over without action, and the Senate resumed the consideration of the Indian bill, in support of which Mr. Pen dleton spoke at length. Remarks with regard to the Indian question were also made by Messrs. Morgan, Teller, and Hill. Without action ou the bill, the Senate went into executive session, and when tho doom were reopened, ad journed. In the House, Mr. Atkins, .of Tennessee, reported the naval appropriation bill, which was referred to the Committee of the Whole. It appropriates fourteen mil lion, six hundred thousand dollars, which is three hundred and fllty-sdx thousand dollars in excess of last year’s bill. The Speaker then proceeded to call committees for reports. Mr. Goode, of Virginia, from the Com mittee ou Naval Affairs, reported a bill to regulate the purchasing of tobacco for. the navy, which was placed on the calendar. Sir: F<jrest, of Missouri, from the Com mittee on Territories, reported a bill cs- establishing the Territory of Omaha, which was referred to the Committee of the Whole. Mr. Manning, of Mississippi presented a minority report on the Samoa bill. Mr. Shelley, of Alabama^ from the Committee on Railways qnd Canals, re ported a bill authorizing the Secretary of War to contract with the San Antonio and Mexican Bprder Railroad Company folkthe immediate cbn*:i uctlon of a rail road from San Antonio, Texas, to Loredo. After some debate as to 'whether the bill should be referred to the committee of the whole, as Mr. sh II y desired, or the com mi ttee of the Whole on the army- appro priation bill, which was explained by Mr, Clymer. It appropriates $34,400,000, which . $1,200,000 less thau the estimates. Af ter considerable debate upon various amendments which were proposed, the House adjourned. Washington, Aprail 6.—The Senate to-day confirmed Francis L. Price as postmaster at Georgetown, Texas, and rejected John S. Barton and John R. Lynch as census supervisors for the first and third districts ot Mississippi. The House sub-Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds, agreed to-day to report favorably to the full committee’s bills providing for the erection of public buildings at Augusta, Georgia, to cost $100,000; at Greeuviljo, South Carolina, to cost $50,000, and Tyler, Texas, to cost $50,000. Washington, April 6.—The House Committee on Way3 and Means, gave a hearing to-day to representatives of the New York Chamber of Commerce and the Boston Board of Trade, in favor of modification . of the present laws relative to the collection of revenue from customs. The principal remedy suggested for the objectionable features of the present law —a remedy which is embodied in the hill prepared by the New York Chamber of Commerce and introduced by Mr. Fer nando Wood—is to have duties assessed on the value of goods in the home instead of the foreign market. The hearing is to to be continued to-morrow. The Senate in executive session this afternoon, was mainly occupied with a long and animated discussion over two Mississippi nominations, which were final ly rejected by a strict party vote. John R. Lynch, nominee for the supervisorship of the third district, is a well known col ored man who_ preceded General Chal mers as Representative in Congress of the so-called Shoe String District, of Missis sippi. "The majority of the Senate Cen sus Committee reported adversely on his nomination, and it was likewise opposed in the Senate to-day on the ground that he is a politician, and would be likely to make use of the supervisorship to promote his election to Congress. John O. Barton, now a deputy collector of internal reve nue, was reported against on similar grounds, it being charged that he, too, is a professional politician, and would make use of his office for Republican political purposes.- These'views were set forth by Senators Lamar, Hill, of Georgia, and Harris. Senator Bruce was the leader of the debate on the other side, and was sup ported by Messrs. Blaine, McMillan, Cameron, of Wisconsin, Hoar and others, He defended and eulogized Lynch and Barton, and denounced their rejection as an act of indefensible partisanship. The Senate Committee an Library Af fairs to-day reported back to the Senate for reference to the Judiciary Committee, a joint resolution introduced by Mr. Jonas, of Louisiana, last May, providing for the return to Mrs. Rowena Guedalla of three very valuable swords, formerly belonging to General Twiggs, wliicb were taken from Sirs. Guedalla and confiscated by General Butler at the time of the cap ture of New Orleans, and by him deposi ted in the United States Treasury. One of these swords was presented to General Twiggs by Congress for services in the Mexican war, and the other two by the State of Georgia and the City of Augusta, respectively. They are also claimed by Miss Twiggs, the General’s daughter. Washington, April 6.—In the Senate, on motion of Mr. Cockrell, the vote by which the bill to facilitate the negotiation of bills of lading and other commercial instruments, and to punish fraud therein, was indefinitely postponed yesterday, was reconsidered and the bill placed on the calendar. In the House, Mr. McLane, of Mary land, presented a memorial of the cigar manufacturers of Baltimore, against the present tax, which was referred. Also, a memorial of the sugar dealers and bro kers of Baltimore in regard to the tariff on sugar, which was referred. On motion of Mr. Whittliome, night sessins were ordered for Wednesday and Thursday of next week for the considera tion of bills referred to the Committee on Naval Affairs. Mr. McMahon, iromthe Committee on Appropriations, reported back the special deficiency bill with the Senate amend ments thereto. Washington, April 7.—The Secretary of the Senate, Colonel Birch, called the Senate to order, and read a note from Vice President Wheeler, stating that he would be absent several days, and that the duty devolved upon the Senate of choosing a President pro tempore. Mr. Wallace submitted a resolution that the Honorable Allen G. Thurman he chosen President during the absence of the Vice President, which was adopted. Mr. Thurman wa3 escorted to the chair by Mr. Ferry, and on taking the seat thanked the Senate for this renewed mark of their confidence and esteem. Mr. Wallace submitted a resolution in structing the Secretary of the Senate to nfonu the President of the United Statesi nd the House of Representatives of the action of the Senate, which was adopted. The House having refused to dispense with the morning hour, tlie Speaker an nounced that the pending question was upon the reference of the bill authorizing the Secretary of War to contract with the San Antonio and Mexican Border Rail road Company for the immediate construc tion of a railroad from San Antonio, Texas, to a point on the Rio Grande at or near Loredo. Washington, April 7.—In the Senate, after the transaction of some unimportant business, Mr. Saunders submitted a reso lution providing for inquiry into the expe diency of removing the Indians to the Ponca reservation in Nebraska. After con siderable discussion the resolution went over. Mr. Saulshury gave notice that he would to-morrow call up, as a privileged ques tion, the report of the Committee on Priv ileges and Elections in the Kellogg-Spof- ford case. The Senate then resumed the considera tion of the Ute Indian agreement. There was a general discussion of the whole In dian question, in which Messrs. Kirkwood, Holt, White, Beck, Burnside, Ingalls and others participated, pending the conclu sion of which the Senate adjourifed. Washington, April 7.—In the House, after some discussion, the San Antonio aud Loredo railroad bill was referred to the Committee of the Whole. Mr. Slemmcns, of Arkansas, from the Committee on Rail ways and Canals reported a bill for con struction of railroad bridges at or near Shreveport and Monroe, Louisiana. Re ferred to the Committee of the Whole. Mr. Scales, ofNortli Carolina, from tho Committee ou Militia, reported a bill to organize and discipline the militia of the United States. Placed on the House cal endar. Mr. Cook, of New York, asked leave to offer a resolution asking the Secretary of War for information with regard to .the hazing of colored Csdet Whittaker, at the West Point Military Academy. Mr. Aiken, of south Corolina, objected. He said he represented the district from which Whittaker came, and was compe tent to see that the latter was protected. He’ thought it best to await the investiga tion of thp West Point authorities, espe cially as the latest reports seemed to show that it was a bogus outrage. The House then went into Committee of the Whole on the army, appropriation bill. The pending amendment of Mr. Sparks with regard to tlie employment of contract surgeons, was rejected. Mr. Sparks said lie should demaud a vote in the House. Tlie Chair decided that be could not do so without the permission of the gentleman in charge of the bill, Mr. Cly.uier. The latter said he would not promise to give such promise. Mr. Sparks thought as the amendment came from the Committee on Military Affairs, Mr. Cly mer should allow a vote upon it in tlie House. Mr. Clymer said lie had received no request to that effect from the Com mittee on Military Affairs. Mr. Sparks, (advancing toward Mr. Clymer in a threatening manner), “If tho gentleman from Pennsylvania insinuates that that amendment does not come from the Committee on Military Aii'airs, lie lies, and that is all there is about it” When quiet was restored, Mr. Sparks words were read from the Clerk’s desk, and the committee rose and reported them to the House. Mr. Sparks explained that he was la boring under excitement, and that if Mr. Clymer did not intend to insinuate that he (Sparks) was trying to deceive the House, he would withdraw and apologize for the offensive words. Mr. Clymer disclaimed the intention of making any such insinuation, and the quarrel was amicably settled. After some further unimportant amend ments to the bill, Mr. Sparks, of Illinois, by direction of the Military Committee, offered a supplementary section, providing that no money appropriated by the act shall be used in the subsistence, equip ment, transportation or compensation of auy portion of the army to be used as a police force to keep the peace at the polls at any election in any State. Mr. Kieffer, of Ohio, raised a point of order, pending the decision of which the House adjourned. Foreign. London, April 6.—-The ship Shannon, which arrived at Liverpool to-day, brought ten of the crew of the British bark Queen of Hearts, from Mobile, Ala bama, for Belfast, winch was abandoned at sea, waterlogged. She lost her fore and main masts, and four of her crew were washed overboard. The Paris correspondent of the Times says that Prince Jerome Napoleon’s letter •n the subject of the decrees against un authorized religious societies in France, is fatal to any idea of a vote of censure in the Senate on the Cabinet. For even if the Conservative Republicans were willing to join the Royalists in such a vote, the Bon- apartists Senators could not now do so, without openly rebelling against their chiefs. London, April 6.—The Parliament election in Cork to-day resulted in the ehoice of John Daly and Charles S. Par nell, Home Rulers. Mr. Parnell an nounced his intention to contest Cork City only last week, aud did so in order to defeat Nicholas D. Murphy, the Liberal candidate, and strengthen, his party in Parliament as far as possible, so that it may force concessions from the Liberal government. It is rumored at the Cailton Club that Lord Beaconsfield will advise the Queen to send for Mr. Gladstone. Lord Beoaconsfield holds Lord Lytton’s resignation as Viceroy of India, to take effect absolutely in case the elections are adverse to the government. Lord Bea consfield might, therefore, appoint his successor, but he probably will not, as the new Ministry would almost certainly canoel the appointment. It is said that Lord Northbrook will be asked to go to India for a couple of years, to set matters in order there. The Marquis of Riponisthe favorite candidate for the Vicroyalty of Ireland. The emancipation act requires a Protest ant, but that section of the act might be repealed. The difficulty about Mr. Glad stone’s position will probably be solved by his becoming the head of the new govern ment with the understanding that after a year or two he shall resign from Parlia ment and be succeeded ~by Lord Gran ville. No minister could lead the House of Commons with Mr. Gladstone in the position of irresponsible dictator. Mr. Lowe will not be a member of the new Cabinet, but will probably be raised to the peerage as Lord Laterham. London, April 6.—The Parliamentary election to-day, thus far reported, resulted in the choice of four Liberals, five Con servatives and six Home Rulers—the last having gained, three seats in Cork, Tipperary and Kildare. Rostick J. Smyth, Home Ruler, elected in Tipperary, formerly member for West Meath, is the best speaker in his party, and is in favor of a repeal of the Union. The Liberals in London are preparing for a great demonstration in honor ef Mr. Gladstone on his return here. It u tiiau xjvi u JDvauumraeia, ueiore' quitting office,will confer Baronetcies upon Mr. Berthwick, proprietor of the Morning Post, and J. M. Levy, of the Daily Tele graph. It is generally believed that Lord Beaconsfield will not announce his resig nation until the first sitting of the new 'arliament.
