TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1875. J
REPUDIATION.
The subjoined extract from the
Farmville (Va.) Mercury is good read
ing for many people outside of the Old
Dominion. Making the inquiry, “Shall
We Be Honest ?” it thus responds :
This is a poor man’s question, and we
have mo re confidence in the poor men than
in the rich men of Virginia. It is the rich
men and the great landowners who seek to
repudiate, and not the toiling thousands.
Never was there a more mistaken policy
for either rich or poor. With the dark
cloud of repudiation hanging over tne
State, we may talk about our reso
until the crack of doom, but we shall never
see them developed. What has occurred in
one county is illustrative of what will hap
pen all over the State. A year ago a mil
lion dollars in gold were subscribed in
London for an industrial enterprise
in Augusta. The money was all ready
for investment, when the course of
the Legislature in regard to the debt
became known, and the English capi
talists, to a man, refused to go on with the
undertaking. What would not a million
dollars embarked in any industry in Prince
Edward do for the county ? What would it
not have’done for Augusta ? Foreigli cap
ital is waiting at our doors for investment,
and we are actually shutting It out by the
publication of our inability to pay eight
dollars a year on $2,000 worth of property!
Workingmen of every class, will you stand
this? Farmers, whose lands are made
worthless by the talk of repudiation, will
you stand this ? Merchants who desire to
see manufactures flourishing around you,
will you stand this ? Can you not see that
when old Benjamin Franklin said “ hon
esty is the best policy," that shrewd philos
opher meant that it pays to pay. Think on
these things.!
The great secret of France’s un
rivalled financial credit is her abhor
ence of repudiation. No matter how
often she changes her government, and
no matter how fearful the wounds of
foreign or civil war, she knows that
“ it pays to pay,” and the consequence
is that, though sm’.tten to the earth by
the invader, she instantly rises to her
feet and finds stalwart and powerful
auxiliaries in every money centre of
Europe. So long as she adheres to
that principle she will never cease to
flourish, in spite of time, war, flood
and fire. Her credit is her immor
tality.

A HIDDEN DANGER.
The Chicago Times, speculating upon
Grant’s hold on office and life, says :
None know better than Morton, Conk
nrNa and Howe of the thick apoplectic
blood which already clogs in the Presiden
tial veins, and which may slide the third
term under the dinner-table a corpse any
day. The horror of the unreliable Wilson
taking his bed and board into the White
House is an incubus which now presses
day and night upon the party leaders'. It
is a horror they cannot endure to run the
risk of by taking the chances of future
Wilsons and Johnsons. A President is a
“ reliable institution; but a Vice-President
has proved a deceit and a snare oven since
Tyler’s time. ,
Whether Wilson, the old abolitionist
and fanatical believer in negro equality,
would be an improvement on Grant or
not, we leave the wise-acres to settle
among themselves.
Pinchback. —The rejection of Pinch
back was a tremendous blow to Morton.
All accounts agree that he winced un
der it. Meanwhile, we learn that
the discomfited quadroon “boldly
charges that the result is due to a
White House conspiracy, the object
being to get him out of the way so
that Casey can be made Senator. He
threatens to go back on the Kellogg
crowd, and tell all he knows. He was
approached after the verdict by Ad
ministration strikers, who represented
to him that as he could not hope to
succeed he ought to get out of the way
and let somebody else in, intimating at
the same time that he might be pecu
niarily rewarded if he would do so.
This only added to his rage, and he re
pelled the proposition with scorn. He
said that he had plenty of money, and
is working only for reputation; that
he went through the pangs of hell for
what he has acquired* and he don’t in
tend to give it up, adding significantly
that he can afford to bide his time till
1876.”
Mrs. Moore. —The Columbus, (Ga.)
Times has this item :
Mrs. Thomas Moore, of Mountain Hill,
Harris county, Ga., aged 75 years, last year,
made with her own hands one bale of cot
ton. She ploughed the land well, hoed the
cotton, and picked it. She brought it to
market yesterday, and spent the money
for which she sold ft in the purchase of
goods as she needed. Why should
young men repine when such noble deeds
are performed by our venerable women ?
“ Oh, ye tears! ” There’s more in the
(wo)man than there is in the land.
Mrs. Moore is a better “ man ” than
thousands of youngsters in Georgia,
who curse lazy negroes, and would not
plough an acre of land or make a bale
of cotton if the land and material for
so doing were furnished gratis.
Beecher-Tilton.— The most damag
ing evidence against Beecher, so far,
has proceeded from the testimony of
Mrs. Tilton’s brother, a midwife named
Carey and Mrs. Moulton. Beecher
was so much stunned by Mrs. M.’s
testimony that he lost his dignity and
called her a “liar.” Fie! fie! Mi.
Beecher !
Dead.—Edward Spangler, one of the
parties accused of complicity in the
Lincoln assassination, who suffered
imprisonment until pardoned by Presi
dent Johnson, died the other day, at
the age of 50 years.
Ben Butler. —It is rumored that,
after the 4th of March, Williams will
retire from the Attorney Generalship
to make way for Beast Butler. Is not
this swapping the devil for a witch ?
Jeff Davis.— The portrait of Jeffer
son Davis has been added to the gal
lery in the office of the War Depart
ment at Washington. Good enough !
Melton. —The South Carolina boy,
who whipped the colored cadet at An
napolis, is the son of the Radical At
torney General of South Carolina.
Fashionable.— Brooklyn courts are
full of divorce cases. Plymouth Church
seems to have created a malarious
epidemic.
TREASURER JONES.
I
We publish on our first page an ad
vance statement of the trouble in the
Treasury Department of Georgia. The
impression seems to be that Mr. Jones
has simply been wanting in acuteness.
We await the report of the committee,
and, meanwhile, feel sorry that a mau
who took such a high tdhe with the
New York Stock Board shoul 1 suffer
this unfortunate humiliation.

ing seven hundred dollars for the pur
pose of completing the water works in

amendment to fix the rate of taxation
at five-tenths of one per cent., the

The bill to incorporate the-Mutual
Gas Light Company, of Macon, was in
definitely postponed.
The House Judiciary Committee
unanimously recommends Mr. Mc-
Daniel’s amendment to the Constitu
tion to prohibit the payment of fraud
ulent bonds, without amendment, which
will probably be passed to-morrow.
A resolution was introduced in the
House to deprive the Georgia Ltyid
and Lumber Company, composed of
New York stockholders, of the power
of owning land in the Slate.
Among those voting yea, on the
motion to reconsider the action passing

The Majority Favor the Conserva
atives. Payment of Southern
Claims. No Holiday. Morton Baffled.
Washington, February 22.— Senate.
—Joint resolutions of the Missouri
Legislature were presented asking im
provement of the mouth of the Missis
sippi river, according to the plan of
Capt. Eades. Referred to the Commit
tee on Commerce.
The House, under suspension of the
rules, has passed the River and Harbor
Appropriation bill, including many
items for the interest of the Southern
States.
In the Senate to-day, Merrimon of
fered the following amendment to the
Post Office Appropriation bill, and it
was rejected : “ To pay arrearages due
to mail contractors for conveying the
United States mail before the first day
of June, 1861, §372,000, and all laws
and parts of laws forbidding the pay
ment of the same are hereby repealed.”
House. —A small number of bills were
introduced. The reading of a long
bill was demanded, which consumed
the morning hour. •
Testimony taken by the Louisiana
Committee was ordered printed for the
use of the House.
The River and Harbor bill passed.
Details heretofore telegraphed.
The bill regulating Chinese immi
gration passed.
The day was consumed in voting on
propositions to suspend the rules for a
variety of purposes. The proposition
to take up the bill to regulate the
Freedmen’s Bank was defeated. The
proposition to make the Texas Pacific
Railroad bill a special order for next
Wednesday evening was also defeated.
The bill to pay awards of Southern
Claims Commissioners, about §750,000,
was passed. The bill to pay claims al
lowed by the Secretary of the Treas
ury was defeated. The bill for the re
organization of the Quartermaster’s

considered.
Morton moved an amendment to the
bill reported by the Committee on
Privileges and Elections for counting
votes for President and Vice-Presi
dent. Tabled by 32 ayes to 30 nays.
Morton renewed his amendment. He
said, under operation of the twenty
second joint rule, objection of either
House would suffice to throw out the
electoral vote of a State. The contin
uance of this rule might result in
throwing the election of the next Presi
dent in the House of Representatives,
and he wanted those who voted against
his amendment to understand that
they would be held responsible for it,
and in this connection he called atten
tion to the fact that the Democratic
Senators had all voted to lay his
amendment on'the table.
WASHINGTON.
Southern Cotton Claims. Louisiana
Affairs.
Washington, February 21. —V arious
members of the House are preparing
speeches on Arkansas. Mr. Ward, of
Illinois, will offer a minority report, de
claring Brooks the legal Governor,
which will be offered as a substitute
for the Poland majority report that
Arkansas be let alone. There is much
anxiety over the result in the House.
There is no probability that either the
Senate or House telegraph bills will
pass this session.

terday, resolved to support the new
Senate bill after a speech by M. Gam

action of the meeting. The Bonapart
ists contemplate offering an amend
ment to the Senate bill, proposing that
Senators be elected by universal suf
frage. They hope by this means to

that for organization of the public

Evening Telegraph says there are no
new features in the war between Presi
dents Scott and Garrett, and there is a

Agent.
Montgomery, February 22.—1n an
swer to a statement of Mr. Albright in
Congress, last Wednesday, that no As

agent at this point says that he called

a letter from Mr. Simonton instructing
the agent to get news from the mem
bers of the committee. He asked Mr.
Coburn to give him what information
he could. Mr. Coburn’s response was
that he was busy and had no time to
attend to such matters, and did not
even suggest to him to call again. The
agent then sought other sources for
information.

only eight remain in sight this morn

assistance can reach them, and they
will be exposed to great sufferings.

your cure more hopeless, and much depends
on the judicious choice of a remedy. The
amount of testimony in favor of Dr. Schenck’s
Pulmonic Syrup, as a cure for consumption,
far exceeds all that can be brought to support
the pretensions of any other medicine. See
Dr. Schenck’s Almanac, containing the certi
ficates of many persons of the highest respec
tability, who have been restored to hoaltli,
after being pronounced incurable by physi
cians of acknowledged ability. Schenck’s
Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many, ns
these evidences will show; but the cure is
often promoted by the employment of two
otlior remedies which Dr. Schenck provides
for tho purpose. Those additional remedies
are Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic and Man
