THUKSOAV MORNING, JUNE . 1878.
INDKPENDRN9K.
Lost Saturday evening wo received a
a postal card signed *‘W. 11. Felton,”
announcing himself as an independent
Democratic candidate to represent this
district in the noxt Congress. Inde
pendent candidates may only be aiming
to benefit themselves, but the faet that
they run against the man who has been
selected as tho representative of the
principles of tho party, necessarily exerts
an influence, more or loss powerful, to
break down that organization without
which no party oao succeed, and which
was never more necessary to any party,
political or otherwise, than it is now to
the Demooracy.

RKMOCRATIC MEETING.
A goodly number of tho citizens of
Chattooga County met in Summerville on
tho 4th of June, in accordance with the
call of the Democratic Exocutivo Commit
tee. Dr. G. A. K. Tucker called tho
meeting to order. Judge llobert Foster
was called to tho chair, and J. C. Loomis
was elected secretary. John W. Mad
dox, Esq., being called upon to explain
the object of tho mooting, stated that it
was to select delegates to a convention to
be hold in Ilinggold on tho 4th of July
for tho purpose of nominating a candidate
to represent the Seventh Congressional
district in the 47th Congress. J. S. Cleg

H. Wyatt, John A. Jones, Geo. K. Pon
der, K. It. Fostor, T. R. Jones, J. W
Maddox, and J. R- Gamble wero nomi
nated. A motion was mado and carried
that each one present bo requested to
writo on his ballot four names, and that
tho four highest be delegates, and the
four next bo alternates. T. R. Jones,
J. W. Maddox, J. A- Jones, and Geo. It.
Ponder were eloeted delegates, ami J. R.
Gambe, K. R. Foster, G. A. R. Tucker
and J. S. Cleghorn alternates. J. W.
Maddox then introduced the following
resolutions, which were adopted without a
dissenting voice:
Whereas tho time has arrived for
selecting a standard-bearer as a candidate
of tho Organized Democracy of tho 7th
Congressional district, we take this occa
sion to say to our brethren of the other
thirteen counties, that tho Democracy of
Chattooga are ready for the conflict, and
wo freoly pledge ourselves to do our wholo
duty during the canvass.
Resolved, that believing as we do, that
the convention to meet at Ringgold on the
4th of July, will act with wisdom and
discretion in making a suitable nomina
tion, we pledge to tho candidate who
may receive the nomination a most cor
diul and earnest suppqst. Resolved, that
wo earnestly appeal to the Democracy of
tho District to arouse themselves and
make one more faith ful effort to redeem
the district.
A motion prevailed to request the
Summerville Gazette and the Rome
Courier to publish the proceedings of tho
meeting. The meeting adjourned.

INVESTIGATING THE FRAUDS.
The New York Journal of Commerce,
one of tho most conservative journals in
tho Union.'while it disapproves any effort
to re-opon tho Presidential question with
a view to displace Mr. Hayes, heartily ap
proves of the proposed investigation of
tho oiootoral frauds, which in its judg
ment should have been inquired into and j
determined by tho electoral commission.
“There never was,’’ says the Journal, \
“a sorer disappointment than was felt in
every honest breast when tho commission
that was devised to settle the great con
troversy which threatened to plunge tho
r ation into anew civil war, merely deter
mined the succession to the Presidency
on technical grounds, and refused by a vote
of eight to seven to make any investiga
tion that would show who was honestly
elected. If the tribunal had taken up the
inquiry, gathered in all the available tes
timony, heard the arguments and appeals
from both sides, and then decided in favor
of the present incumbent, while the result
would not have satisfied any of the political
partisans on the defeated side, tho people
having secured at last the form of a trial
would have acquiesced in it without any
serious murrautiug. The refusal of even
this form was a great mistake, and the
popular discontent which grew out of
it has not abated witli the lapse of
time.
Alluding to the investigating committee
appointed under the Potter resolution,
the Journal says: "A strong committee
has been appointed, and one that we trust
will deal fairly and honesty with the ques
tions at issue. 'Wcdo'rtot expect from
its investigations a full exposure of the
frauds that were perpetrated. So long a
time has elapsed that sume traces of the
gross corruption will doubtless bo oblit
erated. But we do hope that the main
facts will be set forth in u blaze of noon
day light, and the real criminals be held
up to the publie gaze. If this can be
done, it will prove a more effectual safe
guard against a repetition of the wrongs
than any that can be established by the
promised legislation that is to follow it.
When instruments ol evil are rendered
infamous, they must war against the good
more openly, if at all, and their ill designs
can thus be exposed and defeated. With
these avowed objects and limitations, we
do not see why tho search to be made
should not commend itself to every honest
man who thinks more of tho welfare of
his country than of any mere partisan tri
umph.—Savannah Newt.
WASHINGTON NEWS.
A compromise which has boen made
between the different parties on the
financial question will probably shape
legislation on that point. The main points
are that no United States Treasury notes
shall be withdrawn from circulation, (a
bill to this effect has passed both branches
of Congress) and that specie payments
shall be resumed on the Ist of January,
1879. but that, if the supply of specie in
the treasury falls below a certain limit,
the Secretary of tlie Treasury shall sus
pend tlm further puymeiit of specie till
it accumulates.
Secretary Schurz asks Congress to re
duce the number of reservations for tlio
Indians, and to allow only ei* lit agents
instead of twenty, the present number.
'1 lie army appropriation bill was passed
by the House. It fixes the strength of
the aruiy at 20,000 men, the number of
cavalry regiments at sight, ami of in
fantry at 18. Provides f>r the reduction
nnd reorganization of the numerous staff
departments, and for the retiring and
mustering out of officers who ure super
numerary, or unfit for service. Reduces
the pay and emoluments of officers.
Provides for the management of the In
dians by the war department, and pro
hibits tho employment of troops for civil
purposes, unless specially authorized by
u;t of Congress.
The House bill for the repeal of the
bin nipt act came up, and on motion ol
Mr. Knott, the senate amendments were
concurred in. The bill now goes to the
President. The repeal takes effect Sept.
Ist, 1878, and all cases then pending shall
proceed as though tho repeal had not
occurred.
In tho Democratic caucus to-night a
motion to concur iu the senate resolution
to adjourn June 10th wus defeated, and a
motion to amend by fixing the day to J une
20th was uefeated by a c< uibi nation ol
those who desire an earlier adjournment
and those who wish to prolong the session,
and finally the whole matter was post
poned to the Bth of June.
The scene which took place in the office
of the Secretary of tno Treasury between
Secretary Sherman and James K. Ander
son, of the East Feliciana election fraud
fame, is town talk. It seems that Ander
son, who but recently arrived here, was j
induced by one Major Marks to call on
Sherman at his offieo. When the propo
sition was first suggested to Anderson ho
stoutly declined to go, but later in the
day, when under the influence of exhila
rating beverages, he consented to call.
Sherman, whether accidentally or
otherwise, had his counsel, Shellabarger,
present, and as soon as Anderson entered
propounded tho question:
“Have you ever seen me before?” An
derson replied with a significant smile,
that he thought he had, and that Sher
man ought to remember when and where.
Tho latter then proceeded to try and
draw Anderson out with questions. Mean
while, Audersod spied a shorthand writer
iu the room, takiug notes, and then rising
in his chair ho declared that he would say
no more in any such a place, and under
any such dishonorable arrangement.
He denounced Sherman in strong lan
guage, and swung his heavy cane menac
ingly over Sherman's head.
Marks got out in the hall, and Ander
son was about to assault Marks tor put
ting up the job on him, when parties in
terfered.
Anderson left town early this morning,
much frightened and greatly disgusted.
Mark s is from Louisiana, and is here
hanging around iu ihe hope of being
collector of iuterual revenue, iu place of
Hahn.
It is said that tho investigation com
mittee will make a record of these pro
ceedings, and demand of Sherman to
I show why he dared to tamper with a
i witness before he wus placed on the
stand.
Sherman declines to talk on the subject,
and said that he was prepared to meet
raseally scoundrels who wore trying to
ruin him.
OUR PARIS LETTER.
(From a regular correspondent.)
Hotel du Louvre, Paris, May 16, 1878.
Th visitor tired with sight-seeing can
do no better than to spend an hour or two
in tho Salle Evangelique just opposite the
Trocadero ontrance to the exhibition.
This building accomodates about six
hundred persons, and has been erected by
the united efforts of the British “Evan
gelical Alliance” and the Rev. R. W.
McCall's “mission”; it is patronized by
English, Americans, Frenchmen, and
Italians, and two praycrmectings are held
daily, one (in English) in the forenoon,
and another, in French or Italian lan- i
guage, in the evening. Yesterday after
noon, f beard an excellent sermon in
Italian by Father Gavazzi, of Rome, and
the day before, the Rev. Mr. Hitchcock,
an American minister, spoke to a large
congregation of his countrymen. Am mg
those who regularly attend tho meitings
hero are Lord Shaftesbury, Lord Kin
naird, Mr, Cowper Temple, Sir 11.
Verney, Mr. Waddington, the new Min
ister of Foreign affairs, and many other
people of distinction. The success of
this enterprise is chiefly due to tho Rev.
Mr. McCall, who came here about six
weeks ago with a view to evangelistic
efforts, or what we would at home call a
“revival,’’ among the workingmen of
Paris, and, to that end, has cstab ished
22 “stations” in the most populous quar
ters of the city, accomodating -1600 per
sons, und his meetings have an average
weekly attendance of 8000 adults and
between 2000 and 30 JO children. He has
been awarded the medal of tho Societe
National*, dr. I' Encouragement an /fieri
in recognition of the moral rather than
the strictly religious aspect of his labors;
und after the close of the Exhibition, he
will remove the new building to a suitable
quarter of the city as a permanent
station. On each side of the hall is a
kiosk, one erected by the Monthly Tract
Society, tho other by the Crystal Palace
Bible Stand, of London. The latter is
under the charge of Mr. J. Alexander,
who occupied the same part at the 1867
Exhibition, when upwards of 2,000,000
separate Gospels, in 22 languages were
distribut and, and who in tho war of 1870
distributed 800,000 Gospels to the soldiers
on both sides, the Empress Augusta
securing him special facilities as regards
the German troops. This kiosk on the
Exhibition opening day gave away 15,000
Gospels to persons of all ranks, from
Senators downwards, and many applicants
had to be refused. Arabs, Chinese, ami
others have been supplied in their own
languages, the separate Gospels being
gratuitous, while Bibles are sold for a
franc, and Testaments for 25 centimes
each. All these three buildings are in
the Swiss chalet style.
The cost of living at a first-class hotel
in the “foreign” quarter jf the city, which
is the most fashionable, and whcie the
best hotels are located, will average about
eight dollars a day for a single person; but
one may live just as well, if not better,
for half that sum, by crossing the river
and taking apartments on the south side.
Tho delightful weather is beginning to
toll, and the grounds look lovely. The
ruts in the walks and avenuos, caused by
the heavy carting, have been smoothed
over; all the plants and shrubbery arc in
position and get along splendidly, ami the
large fresh water aquarium has been
thrown open for inspection. There is no j
scarcity of seats, which are placed every- j
whore, and are of the most odd and fan
tastic patterns, and the bronze statue of;
Fame, away up on the topmost pinnacle
of the Trocadero palace, can bo seen from
all parts of the grounds, and looks ns
graceful and light as its name.
At ti.e Hungarian esarda or restaurant,
the weird music of the Tziganes or gypsies
is attracting crowds of visitors, and as the
'.vines are excellent and the prices roas in
able, this is a favorite resort. These
Tziganes have a sharp eye for nationality;
they can tell, at a glance, a party of
Frenchmen, from a party ot Italians, and
find no difficulty whatever in distinguish
ing between a group of Americans and
one of Englishmen This morning when
' I entered, in company with four of our
“honorary” commissioners (who are as
thick here as the leaves of Vallambrosa)
and one of the secretaries of the Ameri
can legation, they struck up the “Star
Spangled Banner," and played it excel
lently; half an hour later, Mr. Jeaserenede
Bort came, and they gave him the Mar
seillaise. tf a party of Russians enter
| the door, they give them “God save the
i Czar;” and hail the approach of English
men with “God save the Queen.” A
friend told mo that while he was lunching
there a day or two ago, three diamoud
merchants from Teheran, Persia, enter
ed, and were stricken dumb almost by
hearing the well-known (to them) “Tam-
Tam” March of the Shah. It seems
there is nothing that they cannot play;
and their national polkas and polonaise
I are simpiy bewitching. For 1 fr., one
| may get a bottle of good Hungarian wine,
j and listen to all this music any length of
| time; a plate of cold spiced beef, called
| porkall , although there is no pork in it at
■all, costs ten sous; but the genuine and
no-mistake-about-it Tokai is expensive,
and cots 2 fr. (about, forty cents) a glass.
I was fortunate enough to be present in
the American Division when Ex-Presi
dent Grant vi.ited it on Saturday last.
The genera! looks extremely well, and so
does his wife and daughter, Mrs. Sartoris,
who aocouipanied him. About fourteen
ladies and gentlemen made up the party,
and sat down to a luncheon consisting ex
clusively of American “vittles,” such as
potted meuts, imported crackers, butter,
canned fruits, and California and Ohio
wines. Not a single thing among all the
eatables on the fable had grown or been
raised upon foreign soil; and even the
forks and spoons were of home manufac
ture, having been kindly loaned by Tiffany
<fc Cos., whose exhibit, by the way, is most
creditable and attracts a great deal of
attention. The piece de retulanee in their
large collection is a superb solid silver
dinner service, manufacture 1 for Mr. J.
W. Mackey, of “bonanza” fame, which
eclipse- anything in that line shown by
the Elkingtons of London, or Chn.vofh.
of Paris. It is valued at about a hundred
thousand dollars, required two year in
its manufacture, and is of exquisite work
mansbip and a cha-te and ariistie design.
A center-piece in oxydized silver, r' . re
senting an Indian puddling his canoe,
mounted on a block of black marble, also
attracts, deservedly, a great deal of at
tention as a superb and costly work of
art. As silversmiths, we are ahead of
any other nation, a.ul all visitors freely
concede this after an examination of this
magnificent display.
The Prince of Wales’s “Indian Pavil
ion” seems, so far, to be the great centre
of attraction. It consists of a two-story
building in the peculiar, quuiut Hindoo
style of architecture, all resplendent with
gold and bright colors. The interior is a
perfect marvel of costliness and decorative
art, and contains the innumerable presents
which were bestowed upon the Prince
during his travels in India. Among these
is a camel's hair shawl valued at six
thousand pounds sterling, or thirty
thousand dollars, and a sabre the hilt of
w hich is set with diamonds and emeralds
valued at twenty thousand pounds, or one
hundred thousand dollar . Queen Vic
toria’s great diamond, the KohTNor, is
also here, and is always surrounded by an
admiring crowd, it is said to weigh about
123 carats, and is valued at £120,664, or
about $603,500. flic value of all the
riches contained in this pavilion cannot
fall short of six or seven millions of dol
lars. I understand, however, that the
Roh-I-Nor will be removed shortly, and
is only here temporarily. Lodis.
BEAUTIES OF HOT SPRINGS.
An Arkansas correspondent of the At
lanta Conxtitution writing tinder date of
May 25th, 187S, has the following to say
of Hot Springs:
Suppose you put this in your paper.
It certainly is a matter that ought to be
brought to public notice. I>. 15. Elliott
k Cos., a firm composed of Elliott, Nelson
and French, are proprietors ol the largest,
and most extei.aive bath houses here.
They are all three rank yankees. During
the war Elliott was confined as a prisoner
at Andersonville. To-day he made the
bathers at his bath house indignant by
allowing negro men and negro women to
bathe in tubs provided for the white peo
ple. Negro women were allowed to go
into th hath rooms, where they were
treated just the same as white women,
and the tubs heretofore ecu pied by white
men were filled by the bodies ot -everal
strong scented negro men. Here’s rich
ness, here's fatness. J'licv are rule 1 out
at the hotel tables and beds, but they
come into the bath tubs. A bath house
is not very savory at best, and the whole
idea is to promote perspiration. Ther
mometer 92 degrees, bath for darkey 98
degrees; oil! how they smell. Would
you like to take the tub just made ,acant
by the negro bather? How can a lady
manage to follow one of the duslcies? If
John Sherman wants to have Eliza Pink
ston fixed up let him bring her here to
D. 15. Elliott k Cos., proprierors of the
Rig Iron bath house. Hot Springs is a
nice place. It is a pity that a place evi
dently placed here by God as a healing for
the suffering should have fallen into the
hands of the yankees. But so it is.
Newspapers ten cents, bootblacking ten
cents, good spring water five cents a glass.
If you go to the Arlington at 6:30 A. M.,
get a warm breakfast, dinner and supper
and leave before bed time you pay $4.
The sorriest board is S2O jer month. I
stay in a room where there are four
lodgers. VV e each pay $5 a week tor -
lodging. This makes the little room net
SBO per month. Swindling is the order of
the day. We can stand this, but how
about negro men and women bathing along
with you and the thermometer 92 deg. in
the shade.
The city marshall is a negro. There
are three negro policemen and two white
ones. This is the lacd for the negro.
The Philadelphia mint is now turning
out an average of 80,000 now silver dol
lars a day, which are at once shipped to
the various sub-treasuries throughout the
conutry. Thirty tons of Nevada silver
were received Tuesday, which brought
the present stock in hand up to 100 tons,
or 224,000 pounds. This is valued at
$33,000 a ton, or an aggregate value of
$3,300,000.
