An Open Letter lo the President.
The Philadelphia Inquirer of Monday
last contains an elaborate and carefully
prepared paper by Henry Carey Baird,
entitled: “The Eastern and Western
Questions. Turkey and the United
States; How They Travel a Common
ltoad to Rum. Addressed by Way of
Warning to President Hayrs.” In a note
to the President, Mr. Baird says that in
his paper “is embodied a statement of
the causes which have led to the decline
of lurkey to a point where her final fall
is a matter of absolute certainty, unless it
be prevented by the intervention of other
European powers, as well as of the
causes which are hurrying the country
over which you preside to a similar fate.”
He closes his note as follows: “Let me
earnestly and solemnly warn you that
unless your administration speedily re
verses the financial policy of its imme
ffftte predecessors it will prove to be the
most disastrous in the history of this gov
ernment.” Mr. Baird declares that a
general revival of business is impossible
with a steadily decreasing volume of
money, unless that money can be supple
mented by a substitute. “The one and
only substitute,” he says, “is ‘credit,’
which, between 18GG and 1873 took the
place of ad creased amount of money.”
Asa preliminary step to a change in the
financial policy of the government, he
calls upon the people to “raise their
voices in demanding of the Presi
dent that the intimate friend of Jay
Gould, Mr. John Sherman, be deposed
from his position at the head of the Treas
ury department.” Unless Mr. Sherman
is removed, Mr. Baird says, “ne will keep
the ship of State upon tho course upon
which she now is until, like Turkey, our
people shall come to be divided into but
two classes; on the one hand, a corrupt
and rapacious oligarchy, with its army of
farmers of the taxes and their usurious
colaborers, and, on the other band, an
enslaved, oppressed, and plundered peo
ple, to whom will be left no middle course
between submission and such an uprising
as that of the people of France in 1789,
or that later one of those of Bosnia and
the Herzegovina in 1875.” The repeal of
the resumption act, the issue of 3.05 in
terchangeable bonds, and the repeal of
the act for refunding the public debt in
long bonds are some of the measures pro
posed by Mr. Baird.

Why Mr. Tilden Bid Not Insist Upon
His Rights.
An eminent citizen of Alabama, while
on a visit to New York last w-eek, had an
interview with President-elect Tilden,
tho substance of which be related to the
Washington correspondent of the Balti
more Sun. He says he said to Mr. Til
don that the people of the South were
convinced that he had been fairly and
lawfully elected to the office of President
of the United States; that the people of
that section, in common with the great
body of tbo people of the whole United
States, thought that Mr. Tilden, as the
lawfully elected ruler of the country,
should have taken early after tho elec
tion a decided attitude, and insisted upon
his rights; that had he done so, and the
proper announcement of the vote of the
electoral colleges been prevented, the
House of Representatives would have
elected him according to the forms of
law, and made itself responsible for bin
induction into the office which belonged
to him.
Mr. Tilden listened intently to the re
marks of Ins visitor, a gentlomau nearly
twenty years his senior. Ho replied that
ho had thought carefully and most con
scientiously over the subject in all its
I possible that be lmil become cor,. -

But ignoring it only makes it worse.

< hamberlain on >ouHi Carolina.
The New York Herald publishes an in
teresting interview which one of its re
porters has had with Chamberlain, the
ei carpet-bag Governor of South Caro
lina, who has now taken up his residence
in New York. The ex Governor candidly
confesses that he found all his efforts at
r form blocked by the Republican politi
c ans; that he could not find in his own
party men fit to appoint to important
offices, and that the white Republican
p of the State were on the whole
w orse than the biacks. He speaks
r pectfully of General Hampton, and
s vs he believes he will endeavor to make
a good and honest government, so far as
it ■ financial and practical departments
an concerned. Chamberlain says he
looked upon the ignorance and inexperi
e-.aeof the masses of the Republican
p Gy in South Carolina as one of the in
herent and great d'fficulties in the politi
c i problem. He was under the political
necessity of making appointments to of
fices from a party which, as a rule, was not
a '.a to furnish competent officers to sup
port the government. The difficulty, he
says, was that a majority of those who
undertook to lead the Republican party
in South Carolina made a profession of
po itics, and lived accordingly. Upon
ths subject of the resources of South
Ciroliuahe says he never entertained a
doubt. Her resources he speaks of as
a! cost indescribable, and her facilities
for production and manufacture absolutely
unsurpassed. He looks upon her as
“Massachusetts, Alabama and lowa rolled
in’oene.” He expresses kind and re
spectful feeling for the colored people,
tL ough he thinks they are too ready to be
led by designing and unprincipled men.
The ex-Governor acknowledges that dur
ing two years he had received a generous
support from the intelligent Democrats
in the State, and it is evident that they
deserted him only when he was prevented
by his political associates from carrying
out reforms.
Chamberlain, in his interview with the
IhraUl man, has unbosomed himself of
a good deal of truth, which, however, he
took good care to suppress while he was
striving to hold his position as Governor
arid head of the Republican party in South
Carolina, which he so truthfully describes.
It would seem that an honorable man
with such convictions would have long
b* fore retired from such political asso
ciations instead of invoking, as he did,
the bayonets of the Federal Government
to enable him to retain bis office and
to keep corruption and ignorance in con
trol of tbo State government. In one
thing the Massachusetts carpet-bagger
and corrupt political trickster is in error.
He is certainly, to some extent at least,
mistaken in his estimate of the charac
ter of the “colored people,” who by their
recent abandonment of him and his vile
faction of knaves and thieves,have demon
strated that they are not “so ready to be
led by designing and unprincipled men,’
as iie supposed. Bad as they are, there

Carolina, black or white, who in point c'

Valuable Discovery.
Hp--aSPpractical physician, Dr.
W- Davenport, of Dallas-, Texas, has
a discovery and obtained the patent
therefor, which promises to be of incal
culable value and usefulness to the pres
ent aud future generations. It is simply
tlio ascertainment of the chemical com
p'uent of a fluid for keeping all kinds of
fruits, vegetables and meats fresh, sweet
, ai; d pure. The aim of the ingenious
ciicmist has been to discover the ingredi
ents of a pickle which would arrest the
process of decomposition aud extinguish
tlui germ of decay of all animal and vege
table substances without impairing their
tl .vor or imparting to them any injurious
effect.
Iu tho attainment of his object he
seems to have been entirely successful.
Describing Dr. Davenport’s discovery,
the Now Orleans Democrat says: “It
is simply a pickle of the most inex
pensive sort, costing infinitely less
than brine or vinegar, in which any meat
or vegetable may be kept in open
vessels, submerged for months, and
tv iea taken out will be found as pure
and fresh as when the vegetables came
fiom the garden or the meat from the
butcher’s stall. This pickle may be
fi rnished and prepared at a cost- of four
nts per barrel. The pickle is .so nearly
tasteless and palatable as to demonstrate
its innocuousness, and yet from the
specimen we saw yesterday at 61 Caron
and let street green corn which had been
immersed iu it for twelve months, when
boiled, could not be distinguished from
tho corn which hod been gathered that
morning. Mutton and pork chops, and
even fat papabottes, placed in this
P ckle weeks ago, when subjected to
host, had preserved all their original
freshness and flavor. No one would
ever suspect that they had ever
been brought in contact with any chemi
ci 1 fluid or substance. It would appear
that this fluid is far more effective and
rt ;iable in preserving vegetables aud
moats in their original freshness than the
si rong brine used in preserving salt meats.
T lis fact being established, the superior
ity, both for nourishment aud health, of
fi sh over salt meats would secure its
universal adoption and prove invaluable
for use on ships, in armies and on planta
tions. The simple anti-scorbutic effects
of such a preservation of fresh meats and
vegetables would render it of incalculable
benefit."
Col. Isaac Harrison, formerly a wealthy
planter of Tensas, Louisiana, and a dis
tinguished Brigadier-General of the Con
federate service, has purchased the patent
of this valuable fluid, which is styled
“Davenport's Baku,” for the State of
Mississippi.
Immigration statistics for the year 1876
show that Great Britain furnished to the
United States 42,243 of the 157,440 im
migrant arrivals, but of this total Ireland,
which has for many years sent us greatly
the majority, contributed only 16,506.
This is but 11,820 more than came from
Wales and Scotland, and is 4,545 less
than the English supply. The German
arrivals were nearly double, and the
Scandinavian fell less than 4,000 below.
There were one-third as many from
Russia and from France, and 373 more
Chinese than Irish landed here. Other
years show a smaller as well as a greater
immigration, but no year shows such a
change in the composition of that immi
gration.

SOUTH GEORGIA.
The Prrmm C®nvenlion Fair of the Agri
cultural and .Mechanical AMOciation.
The Press Convention of 1877 will long
be remembered by those who were pres -
ent as one of the most pleasant re-nmons
which the profession has had since
its organization. Thomasville and Thomas
county have ever borne a reputation for
hospitality, and this was expected, but we
did not expect to see in an inland town
of moderate population so much thrift
and go-aheadativen; ss as was evinced in
our growing South Georgia metropolis. To
those to whom this occasion was their first
opportunity cf seeing Thomasville it must
have been a surprise, as no place of
its size in the whole Union, probably,
has so many attractions for a visitor.
The first object thafc attracts attention as
you get off the cars and into the ’bus is
the well laid out streets, wide and care
fully graded, and the green fields which
environ the town. As we drive up to the
hotel one might imagine he was in some
capital city in front of one of their modern
hostelries. The Mitchell Eouse is a valu
able addition to the town, and was built
I y one of her enterprising citizens whoso
name it bears. It has all the modern inq
provements so necessary to make ho tel
“life happy,” and is superbly furnished.
It is well kept by Messrs. A. L. Fabyan A
Go., who are experienced hotel keepers.
It was opened for the first time last fall,
and was crowded during the winter with
guests, many of them from the Northern
States, seeking the mild climate of South
Georgia for health and pleasure. As the
accommodations offered by this house
become known, South Georgia will be
as much a resort for health seekers as
Florida, for it is a well known fact that
pulmiuary diseases are almost unknown
in Thomas county. An addition to
the Mitchell Housemontainingfifty rooms
is to be built this year.
One cannot fail to notice the similarity
of the place and the people; both look
well cared for. The residences are built
with an eye to comfort, and the citizens
one and all, even the “amendments,” ap
pear satisfied that their fortunes were
cast in Thomasville.
On our arrival at the hotel we meet a
number of the members of the Associa
tion, and also Captain John Triplett, of
the Times, and Captain C. P. Hansel!* pf
the Enterprise, who were there to give
all comers a hearty welcome.
After breakfast we visited the offie e s of
the limes and the Enterprise, whi*jb by
the way, are in the same building onlv
divided by an entry way. Are 0 m had
been set apart and furnished fov the ac
commodation of the members of the
Press Association, but so rjixed and
mutual were the hospitalises of our
entertainers that we were at no time
quite sure whether we were the guests of
the limes or the Enterprise. Here we
rendezvoused until the timr , for the meet
ing, when we marched to the City Hall,
where we were welcomed to the hospi
talitxes of the city by Car pt. W. M. Ham
mond, one of Thomas c* junty’s eloquent
and gifted sons.
Iu the afternoon a two hours’
session of the Press As sociation was held,
a ter which the members spent
the time in driv' n g -about the beautiful
city oi Thou’; as ville and its charming en
™- . night a grand ball in honor
of tho p r ess came off at the Mitchell
an A t^ie yGuth and beauty of
. jomasville aud the brethren of the
Press mingled in the mazes of the dance
until the “wee sms.’ hours.”
Thursday morning the convention met
at 9 o’clock when the business ot the
meeting was rapidly brought to a close,
and at llj o’clock the association ad
journed sine die.
The remainder of the day was spent
amid the pleasures of the fail- grounds,
where the annual horticultural exhibition
was being held. The display of flowers
and the exhibition of garden and field
vegetables was large, though we were in
formed that it was not as good as it would
have been but for the frosts in the early
spring. Nevertheless, the fair was a most
gratifying success both ffi the quality and
variety of the products exhibited, and in
the attendance on the grounds.
The following list cf premiums award
ed s,u exniDiti'rs win give our readers an
idea of the extent and character of an
exhibition of which the South Georgia
Agricultural and Mechanical Association
may justly be proud :

THE CONVENTION.
Ou*ht It to be Called t It Ought for
These Reasons.
[Fiom the LaGrange Reporter.]
The convention which made the con
stitution of 1868 was not called because
the people desin id to alter the constitu
tion of 1865; but; it was called in accord
ance with the “ P.econstruction” acts"of
Congress, and by “geoeral order No. 89,”
issued by the mi litary commander then
ruling Georgia.
The present constitution was made by
men not elected by qualified voters of
Georgia; men not in sympathy with the
people of Georgi a; for out of one hun
dred and seven ;y-two members of the
convention, whose name.s are given, only
twelve were in sympathy with us, and
the rest not being for us, were against
us, such as Caldwell, of Troupe, Ashburn,
of Muscogee, .Caron Alpeoria Bradley, a
convict, and Foster Blodgett.
After pretending to fi-ama a constitu
tion for us, and pietending to submit it
at a four days’ election, wh en many of our
best citizens werd'not &Uo\ ved by the mil
itary to vote, they sent it to. Congress and
authorized Congress to mal te any amend
ment or condition deemed p roper, thus re
cognizing the principle that Congress had
the right to make a constitution for Geor
gia. Congress did amend fmd return the
constitution, and to-day G-eorgiahas no
const! tution at all except < sne made for
hertjy Congress. Are we a free people
with the right to make our own laws, or
e we slaves to be ruled by others ?
The people of Georgia ntiver ratified
the constitution of 1868 ; for, admitting
that a fair count showed a majority in
favor of ratification, most of those who
voted for ratification were no ie gal voters
under the laws then in force, and cer
tainly those who control our affs ;irs now
and feel that they represent Georgia
voted in April, 1868, against the present
constitution. Have they any good reason
to change their opinion then expressed
against it? Very few white men in
Troup voted for ratification. The leop
ard has not changed his spots.
What is the constitution of 1868, made
by men not in sympathy with -as, au
thorized by Congress, called together by
a military order, and controlled by in
fluences hostile to our true interests?
How does it compare with the other con--
stitutions of Georgia of 1777, 1789, the
amendments of 1795, of 1798, of 1861, of
1865, all made by representative men?
Take the constitution of 1865, made after
the war by such mea as Chas. Jenkins
aud H. V. Johnson, and fully recognizing
the situation, but not confessing that our
soldiers were traitors.
The present constitution contains one
hundred and sixty-live paragraphs, and
ninety six are either new or different
from the constitution of 1865. Some of
the changes are not objectionable, but
many are at war with the sentiments of
true Georgians. It is important that the
fundamental law slioifld not, rcou>iiu such
principles. What soldier’s id Vt can re
spond to the definition of treason in the
constitution of 1868 ? To do what every
soldier did is treason. Wo do not
believe this, and when our officials
swear to support the constitution
is not a mental reservation necessary as
to this and many other features? Numer
ous officers are authorised by the constitu
tion of IS6B not before know a in Georgia
and wholly unnecessary ; and the offices
were created simply to be filled by those
in power. Taxation v;as increased be
cause vast sums of money were spent
undsr certain provisions, aud nothing
ouoti of effi fbo
present constitution of ‘bt-creating
powers. The State, counties., cities and
towns, and corporations gim erally, have
incurred heavy debts to bei paid in the
last resort by taxes, and this has resulted
largely from the constitution.
Some of the good features have been
exaggerated. Take the homestead law.
Under the legislation iu pursuance of
this section, and t) decisions of the Su
preme Court, the head of r. family has an
estate for life, and the children during
minority, and then the homestead is sub
ject to debts. Suppose he wishes to
move to Texas? He loses his homestead. If
the head of the family die, and the chil
dren reach the age of ewenty-one years,
the estate ceases. Creditors can now levy
on what is called the reversionary interest,
sell it for nothing, and in a few years the
property must be delivered to them.
By all means let the convention be
called and frame such a constitution as
Georgia wishes, and if the convention
should not carry out the desires of the
people, let the constitution be voted down
when submitted.
No wild theories ought to ba attempted;
stand fast by all that is good in the pres
ent instrument, but frame a constitution
true to Georgia, that will suit the present
times, that will lessen taxation, that will
govern the State for less money and with
fewer offices, that will reduce the Legisla
ture as far as practicable and compel
economy in State affairs by employing
exactly the number of public servants
needed, and no more—not one—and then
saying exactly what the work is worth
and no more—not a cent. Who can
object to that?
Georgia has no constitution of her
own making; let her make one. Geor
gians cry aloud for retrenchment and re
form in public expenses. They have tried
in several ways to obtain these blessings,
but they have not tried anew constitu
tion.
All the Southern States not under mili
tary rule have thrown off the yoke im
posed by reconstruction-constitutions,
and shall we remain in voluntary vassa
lage ?
California’s Terrible Drought.
It is estimated that, as a result of the
drought in California, from one-half to
two-thirds of the sheep in that State have
perished from starvation. The ranchers
have all endeavored to get their ani
mals to the mountains in time to save
them, but their tAierts in most cases have
been large stock raiser
started with over three thousand sheep,
and the lifeless carcasses of over 2,500 of
them now mark the route waken. Thous
ands upon thousands of unclaimed dead
and dying sheep cover the plains, and
hundreds of sheep and lambs fall'into
line behind the wagon of the traveler
and follow, in the hope of getting a
morsel of hay. One man from the San
Joaquin Valley lost every sheep he had—
eleven thousand—during a storm, and
went home a penniless man. Another,
an Italian, thought he could save the cost
of ferrying his sheep across the Tou
lumne river by swimming them, and 800
were drowned in the attempt. Another
man east of Visalia, despariDg of ever
getting his sheep to where there was
feed, turned 12,000 out to starve. If he
undertook to drive them to the moun
tains many of them must die of starva
tion before reaching there, because there
is no feed on the way, and then when the
mountains are reacued all the g6od feed
is already taken up by men who hold
possession, shot-gun in hand, and who
are desperate enough to fight to the
death. There will probably be a good
many cases of bloodshed and death in the
mountains this summer, and many stock
men will mysteriously disappear to re
turn no more.
A Negro Lynched. —On Sunday night
a party of disguised men vent to the
jail at Blandvilie. Ky., and with drawn
pistols demanded and received the keys.
They entered the jail and seized a negro
named Levi Pile, who attempted to as
sault and murder Mrs. Pile, the wife of
his employer, last week. They put a rope
around his neck, tied him to a mule, and
dragged him to the woods. Noth
ing further is known, except that his
dead body was found hanging to a tree
with several bullet holes in it and the
clothing burned off. It will be remem
bered that, after being assaulted by the
negro, Mrs. Pile escaped-and found refuge
in a well. Fearing that her wounds might
result in insensibiiity, she wound her hair
about a projecting root and was found
several hours afterward all but dead.
THE LATEST
BY
TELEGRAPH.
WAK NOTES.
[By Cable to the Morning News.]
London, May 29.—Five Circassian officers
in the Russian army in Roumania have been
shot for conspiracy.
Three fatal railroad accidents occurred in
Roumania on Sunday.
The recapture of Ardahan is believed at
Constantinople.
The Danube is still rising, and the rail
roads from various points to Galatz are in
terrupted.
The Times' Bucharest dispatch says: “Ru
mors of peace are becoming more clearly
defined, and it is reported that negotiations
are actually going on iu Berlin for a cessa
tion of hostilities.”
Erzeroum, May 29. —Three days ago re*
inforcements were sent to Ardahan to effect
a junctioa with a portion of its former gar
rison. We have just received news here
that the combined force, by a coup de main,
succeeded in recapturing the town. The
Turks numbered eight thousand.
London, May 29.—A special dispatch from
Vienna to the Times says: “To the south of
Sukumkaleh a detachment is concentrated
under General Alcha?off to prevent a Turco-
Circassian force moving along the shore
into the plains of Mingereha. If they did
so now the positions of the Russians
in the rear of Sukumkaleh and Adler
would soon become untenable. As yet the
descent of the Turks and Circassians is only
an inoonvenience, but should the movement
reach the Tche/kens, whose in Terek
duel not yet seem quite suppressed, then it
might become real dangerous to the Russian
lines of communication in the Caucassius.”
London, May 29.—A special dispatch from
Kalafat to the News has the following:
“Considerable movements of Turkish troops
aro observed in the direction of Timok
from Widin.”
General Harvatovich, the Servian com
mander at Negotin, telegraphs that there is
an apparent concentration about Veliki and
Izvoru.
Athens, May 29.—M. Comoundouros has
been summoned by the King to form a
ministry.
An armed party in attempting to cross the
frontier in Thessaly were arrested by order
of the government.
Constantinople, May 29.—N0 confirma
tion has been received here of the reported
recapture of Ardahan.
The foreign Ambassadors have been for
mally assured by the Porte that the state of
siege will not interfere with the privileges
of foreign subjects. Proceedings will be
taken against a foreign subject with the
cooseut of his Consul.
London, May 29.—A Reuter telegram
from Constantinople says inteiligeuce from
Sukumkaleh states that the Russians have
evacuated, and the Turks have occupied the
fortress of Zil. The Russians have evacua
ted the whole coast lino of the Abazez
country.
The Standard's Constantinople special has
sent the following via Athens, 25th of May:
“iiedif Pasha,Minister of War,is now dictator
and for the time more powerful than ever.
Great anxiety prevails among the European
population, who fear that duriDg the state
of siege if news of fresh disasters arrives
there will be a collision between the popu
lace and the troops. Our position is one of
very great danger and is generally so re
garded. It is certain that fresh disasters
must happen. The fall of Ardahan and
Bayazid has enabled the Russians to march
in two converging lines towards Erzeroum.
Tuey have turned Erzeroum, and Moukhtar
Pasha must oither accept battle against a
vastly superior force or capitulate. If he is
beaten Erzeroum must fall, for it is without
fortifications, and the force in it is small.”
Manchester, May 29.—A special dispatch
from the Ragnsa correspondent of the
Guardian says: “I learn that the anti-
Turkish movement _in,Servia has escaped all
cenßfo/,' aiki i'rnieo MNarr,' inT.tiug tin£lT~utr'
was becoming dangerously unpopular, has
been forced to prepare for war despite the
strong remonstrance of foreign representa
tives. Alexinatz and other towns on the
frontier are being hastily fortified, and a
speedy resumption of hostilities is regarded
as certain.”
London, May 29.—A special dispatch
from Belgrade to the Times gays: “Russian
diplomacy is playing a double role regard
ing Servia.”
Paris, May 29.—The Moniteur declares
that President MacMahoa will not resign in
any event.
FROM WASHIMtrTON.
[By Telegraph to the Morning Nows.]
Washington, May 29. —It is somi-officialiy
announced that the administration is pleas
ed with Hampton and Nicholls.
It appears that Mr. Evarts has abandoned
his purpose of writing a letter to Governor
Stone, of Mississippi.
Mr. Evarts has been advised that it is his
business to look after Pierrepont at the Court
of St. James and other matters abroad, and to
give passports to American citizens who wish
to travel. The Department of Justice alone,
and that only, through the Federal, District
and Circuit Courts, may look into juris
prudence within the boundaries of the sov
ereign States.
The commission to inquire into the New
Orleans custom house has in view a large
reduction of the hangers on in that institu
tion.
The revenue raiders in West Virginia re
port having destroyed fourteen distilleries
and nine copper stills. They had several
conflicts. The party traveled five hundred
and seventy-four miles in nineteen days on
horseback.
Governor Hartranft has signed seventeen
death warrants within four weeks.
Petitions are circulating to commute the
sentence of the Molly Maguires to imprison
ment for life.
A Port Royal dispatch says the corvettes
Ossippee and Essex, and monitors Ajax and
and Lehigh received orders yesterday to
prepare for sea. The Ossippee and Essex
will convoy the monitors to the Norfolk navy
yard, where they are to be docked and clean
ed. It is understood that all the monitors
will proceed to the same port as soon as
convoys can be furnished.
The Cabinet to-day instructed Secretary
Evarts to address a letter to Minister Fos
ter, of Mexico, to communicate the deter
mination of this government to stop preda
tory incursions into Texas. Mexico must
restrain her people, or Gen. Ord will be in
structed to follow and punish the marauders
on Mexican soil. Among the causes of delay
in reaching an understanding between the
two governments will be the translation of
Mr. Evarts’English into Spanish, aDd in the
meantime Gen. Ord is to be vigilant under
the old system.
General Meredith Read, Charge d’Affaires
at Athens, writes to the State Department
confirming the report that the arms of Venus
of Milo have been found within thirty feet
of the place where the statue itself was
found in 1820. He says the arms are ex
quisitely modelled.
Over one million of legal tender notes
were destroyed this month, being eighty
per cent, of the amount of national bank
notes issued.
Mr. Dongale, Statistician of tho Agricul
tural Department, reports the loss of swine
from disease during the past twelve months
at four million* of animals of all ages, or
twenty millions of dollars. Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi and Louisiana lose one and a
half millions. West Virginia and the Atlan
tic coast States stand better than the allu
vial districts.
THE NORTHERN PBESBYTEBIAN ASSEMBLY.
Chicago, May 29.—1n the Presbyterian
Assembly the Committee on Correspondence
reported the correspondence with the church
South and recommended the adoption of
the resolutions, which were ordered
printed and placed on the docket. The
following is the Becond resolution: “With
out casting any reflections upon past
General Assemblies or changing of their
deliverances, we declare that the language
and specifications complained of by the
Southern Assembly is a part of the sorrow
ful past which we in this, day of peace and
fraternity would wish to forget, and it is a
matter of sincere regret that the terms of
schism, heresy and blasphemy should ever
have been applied to Southern Presbyterians
by any General Assembly.”
THE AMERICAN {ISRAELITES.
New York, May 29. —The second day's
session of the Board of Delegates of the
American Israelites was held to-day, Mr.
Meyer 8. Isaacs, of New York, Presideut, in
the chair. Tne Committee on Statistics
made a lengthy report, showing the state of
the charitable institut’ as, the number of
newspapers, etc., etc., under Jewish control.
Four secret Hebrew societies were men
tioned, showing a membership of fifty thou
sand.
Simon Wolfe, of Washington, read the
following letter from Secretary of State
Evarts, dated Washington, May 26 :
“I have to acknowledge the receipt of
your letter of the Ist ins ant in rela'ion
to the hardships, outrages and persecutions
of Israelites in the Turkish nrovinees. Iu
view of the oppression of these unhappi
people and the dangers to which they are
exposed, you appeal to the Department to
instruct United States Ministers and repre
sentatives near the Turkish provinces to co
operate with their colleagues in such mea
sures as may be desired for the relief and
protection of the Hebrews dwelling iu the
principalities, and you instance especially
those in Roumania. Much of the misery
that is now being endured is insepara
ble from the state of war in which
the country is now engaged. The provinces
are all more or less under military control,
and it is feared that ordinary diplomatic
protests and representations cannot be made
at present as effective as is wished by all
who desire right, justice and hnmauity to
prevail. In furtherance of your wishes the
department will refer a copy of your letter
to our Minister at Constantinople, with in
structions to take such action in the matter
as will in his judgment be calculated to se
cure the amelioration of the condition of
the oppressed people.
“I am, sir, your obedient servant,
“(Signed) * Wst. M. Evarts.”
CONFRATERNITY DISCUSSED.
Chicago, May 29.—1n the Presbyterian
Conference the Committee on Correspond
ence reported resolutions coucerniug the
Southern reeoneiliatiou questiou. A sub
stitute was offered to the effect that a letter
from the Southern Assembly at New Or
leans presents no suggestions not previously
considered, no desire to heal
the wounds of the past or maintain frater
nal relations, and manifests no intention to
pass over the record except on
which are impracticable, th6ieforo the As
sembly take.uo further action. This was dis
cussed by Dr. Van Dyke and many others,
ail taking the ground' that advances should
not be all on the side of the Northern
Presbyterians.
Dr. Van Dyke read from the official report
of the Southern General Assembly, which
mot in Louisville in 1870, to show that hard
er words had been spokou by that assembly
of the Northern Assembly than those which
they complained of.
An amendment to the substitute was of
fered, which made the sentiment more con
ciliatory, and the debate proceeded on this
amendment.
Among the speakers was the aged Dr.
Plummer, of South Caroliua, who spoke by
request of the Assembly and urged that
every step necessary to fraternal relations
be taken.
duo de broglie’s manifesto.
London, May 29.—A Renter telegram
from Paris says: “ The Duo de Broglie,
President of the Council and Minister ot
Justice, has issued a circular to the Procu
reurs Geueraux, explaining that President
MacMahoo, exercising his constitutional
prerogative, intervened to arrest the pro
gress of radical theories incompatible with
the peace ot society and the greatness of
France. The Minister invites the Public
Prosecutors to use redoubled vigilance and
firmness to insure respect for the laws es
tablished for the protection of morality, reli
gion and property, and particularly those
laws defending them against the attacks of
a licentious press. He recommends the
Procureurs to repress apologies tor the com
mune offenses against the President; also
all false notions, particularly the calumny
that there exists in France a party iu favor
of a foreign war.”
THE BONDED DEBT OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
Columbia, S. C., May 29.—The Seuate,
after a strong discussion on the House ap
propriation bill to-day, struck out the fifth
section, which provided two hundred and
seventy thousand dollars for the payment
of the interest on the bonded debt of the
State by a vote of fifteen to twenty-two.
Subsequently, however, a motion to recon
sider was adopted by a vote of fifteen to
fourteen, and lurtlier consideration made
the special order for this evening. The
friends of the bondholders are hopeful.
Iu the Senate this evening the action of
to-day,striking out the sth section providing
for an appropriation for the payment of
interest, was sustained, and an appropria
tion of fifty thousand dollars for the defi
ciency on past due salaries of the State and
county officials was referred to tho Commit
tee on Conference.
