THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 25, 1875. ,
MR. TILDEN AND THE PRESI
DENCY.
The Hon. Samuel J. Tilden, of New
York, at a recent convivi.l entertain
ment, was nominated for the next
Presidency, on the Democratic ticket,
by William Cullen Beyant, the illus
trious poet and editor. It is true that
many things are said, “ between the
sherry and champagne,” which are not
wise and worthy of repetition; but es
pecial care was taken that this elabo
rately arranged compliment should be
sown like seed broadcast. It has, as
intended, produced some fruit and no
little comment upon the quality there
of. .The general opinion, outside of
New York, is that Mr. Samuel J,. Til
den, to use a provincial phrase, “won t
wash.” The average judgment on this
subject is thus expressed by the Balti
more Gazette:
Now we desire, as they say in Congress,
to put in a word just here, for this is the
assumption at which we revolt, our con
viction being clear, and the sooner our
friends in New York understand it the bet
ter—that, in view of the past as well as
the almost certain future, no cardidate
will be taken from New York* McClel
lan was virtually a New York candidate,
his New Jersey home on the heights of
Orange being but nominal. Gov. Sey
mour, a public man whose ill luck in no
degree detracts from his high merit and
just distinction, was purely New York,
and the Greeley absurdity had the same
root. After this series, we really think
the Democracy of the country ought to be
excused from any New York preference.
We entirely agree with the above
presentation of facts and wish we could
feel assured that the conclusions
reached will be matters of history. But
it is hard to keep these New York poli
ticians from running the Democratic
party to the devil. They have tried it
successfully over and over again, and
each experiment has been more dread
ful and damaging than its predecessor.
Indeed, we believe that the only hope
the Republicans now rely upon for suc
cess in 187 G is the probability of Sam
Tilden and the New 7 York
leading the Democracy into some fatal
absurdity, which will terminate in
a tidal-wave for the Central idea
and conspiracy. Sam Tilden be
longs to that wing of Democracy
which believes the world is governed
by humbug and not by ideas, and to
this class of men the South and the
Democratic party owe all or nearly all
of their common misfortune. During
the war, the Radicals used them to
fight their battles, and since the war,
they have either flung them aside con
temptuously or else driven them to
concede that the infamous amend
ments—the sources of all trouble and
danger to liberty—were final, irrevo
cable and sacred. If such a man as
Tilden could, by any possibility, se
cure the Democratic nomination, Gen.
Grant will have an easier time than
many persons suppose of securing a
third term.
The Courier-Journal adroitly points
out the folly of a negative policy pur
sued by leading Democrats, and ad
mits that Conkling touched Thurman
on the raw in the following extract
from his speech:
The Senator from Ohio, is he above oth
ers to whom the nation looks to know and
to state, if not to originate, the policy of
his party—to set forth what his party
do, and what should be done? We
heard him through a carefully elaborated
speech. Did the Senate learn anything of
the policy of the Democratic party? Did
we hear of any practical measure of legis
lation in respect of the Southern question?
Did the Senator from Ohio tell us what to
do with the imbroglio in Louisiana? No,
sir. There *s a wide difference between a
critic and an architect. It is easier to pull
down than to build up. And the speech
of the Senator confirms the belief that the
policy of the Democratic party upon this
question, as upon the financial problem,
and upon every great question, consists
only in denouncing whatever is done by
those charged with public affairs. The
statesmanship and the policy of that party
seem only to rise to the height of abusing
its adversaries.
What we want is a positive
and a leader who shall dare advocate
it. Has not the Radical party based its
assumption and retention of power, as
cardinal principles, upon the 14th and
15th Amendments ? Is not the liberty
of the country, as well as its material
prosperity, perishing, muscle by mus
cle, in consequence? Have not the
Radicals themselves admitted this by
sweeping negro suffrage from the Dis
trict of Columbia where it was first
essayed ? Has not ex-Senator Doolit
tle, a war man and a friend of Lin
coln, publicly declared that the amend
ments are driving the country to per
dition, and that the only hope of salva
tion is in qualified suffrage? And yet,
with theso facts staring Democratic
leaders in the face, they virtually, and
in many cases substantially, acquiesce
in the whole Radical programme,
agree to consecrate the greatest blun
ders and crimes of any age, attempt to
humbug the people instead of electri
fying them with a positive policy, in
sharp contrast with the aggressive and
pronounced campaign of their ma
lignant but intrepid foe.
Heaven speed the day, therefore,
when a genuine leader shall arise for
the Democracy ; one who can inspire
courage, enthusiasm and devotion, one
who shall confront the Centralists with
a doctrine in direct contravention of
their own, and not in a half-hearted,
sneaking bit of jugglery, which par
alyzes everything it touches, and is
only the second-hand garment of Rad
icalism itself.
THe South. — Dr. Daniel Lee proves
that the South is better adapted for
meat production than either England
or Holland. He then asks :
Why not put more of this force into
grass, nTeat and other provisions for for-'
eign consumption ? Why perpetuate a
wilderness in the South and call it peace ?
The only answer to this conundrum
would seem to be that the Southern
planters are the most benighted and
God-forsaken men on the face of the
green earth.
Of Age.—The Sumter Republican
celebrated its 21st birthday, on the 23d
instant.
The Granger’s trump—Spades.
Usury. —The Usury bill recently
psssed by the Georgia Legislature re
minds the editor of the Athens Watch
man of an old negro trying to sell a lot
of butter some years ago. When asked
the price, he said, “ Missy told me to
ax fifteen cents for it, and if I couldn’t
get that to take ten cents a pound.”
Of course nobody thought of giving
more than ten.
The editor concludes by advising
people to avoid the effects of the law by
not borrowing anything. So far as
Augusta is concerned, we understand
that there is less borrowing from banks,
at this time, than ever known before-
The fact is, the men who have good
securities do not want to borrow, and
the men who have not got gilt-edged
collateral might as well appeal to the
town-pump as a money lender.
Third Term.— The venerable Thur
low Weed declares that the third term
idea engendered by Grant was the
cause of the Republican defeat, and is
the rock upon which the party will
split in 1876, if not avoided. The New
York Herald admits all this, and yet
calls upon Grant to resign! If Grant
has defeated his party and continually
keeps the leaders of it in nervous ap
prehension of irretrievable disaster,
what is the sense of Democrats abus
ing him for doing what they could not
do themselves?
Rotten Borough.— Gen. Hazen re
marks of New Mexico : “It costs many
millions for its administration ; yet
take away the army, its hangers-on,
and the transient miners, and the re
maining American population could sit
in the shade of a good-sized apple
tree.”
The Rads would like to make a State
out of that territory, if certain that the
fellows under the apple tree would vote
the right ticket.
Loves and Fishes. —The mulatto
Downing is restaurateur of the House of
Representatives. It is very likely that
he will lose this lucrative position,
next Congress. If Downing could have
kept his mouth shut on politics, he
would, no doubt have been allowed to
remain. But he is a furious Radical
and writes for the papers “on the half
shell.” Downing will “ step down and
out.” Meanwhile, there is a tremen
dous scramble among the Democratic
purveyors for Downing’s place.
J. Y. B.—The Chicago Tribune puts
it in this manner :
The speech of John Young was a warn
ing of what might happen, and has set the
whole Northern Democracy into a nervous
fever of dread that the whole menagerie
may get upon the rampage in the event of
an extra session, and knock the elections
and their Presidential prospect higher than
a kite.
We will never hear the last of that
Congressional manifesto.
B. T.—The testimony of Mrs. Moul
ton will, or should, finish Mr. Lekciier,
unless it can bo proved, what Mr.
Evarts, in his cross-examination, failed
to prove—fallacious.
Be Beecher guilty or innocent, one
thing remains fixed and unalterable,
and that is, the rottenness of Plymouth
Church religion and society. A more
putrescent thing has never made angels
weep or devils laugh.
Frozen.— The recent cold snap in
the East and West caused thousands
of families to be without water in con
sequence of the bursting of pipes. The
plumbers are reaping a rich harvest;
so that it is an ill snap that brings
nobody any good.

ATLANTA.
The Treasury Deficit—Discussion in
the House—The Treasurer “Honest
but Inefficient ”—The Committee
Instructed to Proceed with the
Investigation—A Prolonged Ses
sion Indicated.
Atlanta, February 24.
The House met this morning, and
after a brief discussion the report of
tha sub-Finance Committee on the
State of the Treasury was made the
special order for 3 o’clock, in order to
enable the members to read and digest
the report before adjournment. How
ever, three bills were offered bearing
on the question. One by Mr. Ander
son, of Cobb, to provide for the elec
tion of a Surveyor General, and then to
provide for the consolidation of the
offices of State Treasurer and Surveyor
General. Also, by Mr. Bacon, a bill to
amend the section of the Code so as
to provide, in case of negligence, in
competenc.y or corruption of the State
Treasurer, and when on the address of
two-tliirds of both bodies of the Legis
lature he is declared incompetent,
negligent or corrupt, it shall be the
duty of the Governor to suspend the
Treasurer until proper arrangements
are made for the discharge of the du
ties of the office. These bills were read
the first time.
At 3 o’clock the House reassembled.
The galleries were crowded with anx
ious spectators, who remained immov
able until after dark.
The House showed extreme reluct
ance to commence the discussion. The
Speaker said that unless some action
was taken he would proceed with other
business, whereupon Warren moved
the adoption of the resolution of the
committee, which recommended that
the Treasurer be requested to resign,
and, in the event of his refusal, that
the Governor be empowered to appoint
a financial agent to assume control of
the Treasury. This motion commenced
the discussion.
Mr. Black, member of the sub-com
mittee on finance, arose and stated
that the committee had performed a
painful duty. He, at least, and proba
bly every member of the committee,
believed Jones to be perfectly honest,
and remembered with gratitude his
past services and devotion to the
State, but the extreme looseness and
negligence with which the Treasurer
administered the affairs of his office
made it the imperative duty of the
committee to recommend a measure
that would secure the removal, by
some means, of the present incum
bent.
Mr. Jones, of .Burke, moved that the
Chairman of the Finance Committee be
instructed to prepare articles of im
peachment.
Mr. Speer said he thought it im
proper to ask him to resign. His as
sent to such a request would be con
strued as an admission of guilt. He
moved to refer the matter to a special
committee for further investigation.
Mr. McKinley thought they ought to
leave the entire matter to the Govern
or, who, if satisfied there were irregu
larities, should proceed against the
Treasurer in Fulton Superior Court.
Mr. Hardeman wouldn’t discuss the
merits, but said it was their doty to
prolong the discussion until the ques
tion was finally disposed of. The credit
of the State depended on it.
Mr. Anderson, of Cobb, supported
the resolution of the sub-committee,
and said that before he left the Capi
tol the Treasureivshould be either con
demned or vindicated by the Legisla
ture, the power which elected him, and
the only power which could try him.
Mr. Lawton could not give his con
sent to the party resolution of the com
mittee which requested the Treasurer
to resign.
Mr. Bacon paid a glowing tribute to
the past services of the Treasurer, but
said it could not be denied that he was
unequal to the task of administering
the duties of the office, and advocated
the bill introduced by him, which au
thorized the Governor to suspend the
Treasurer.
Mr. Peoples advocated the bill to
consolidate the offices of Surveyor-
General and Treasurer.
The House agreed to the resolution
instructing the committee to proceed
with the investigation until all the
facts are accurately ascertained, and
then adjourned.
It is understood that Jones will not
resign. He demands an impeachment,
and says if the Legislature appoints a
financial agent he will not permit him
to enter the office, and this position it
is generally conceded he can maintain.
From present indications the House
will either adopt Bacon’s bill or resolve
on impeachment. They have deter
mined to remain here until the ques
tion is settled. All the speakers ex
press unshaken confidence in the in
’ tegrity of Jones, but they boldly
. state his inefficiency is too palpable to
hazard his continuation in office. Mem
bers are averse to impeachment be
’ cause of expenses and time.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES.
CONGRESSIONAL.
Washington, February 24.—The Sen
ate has up a till for the admission of
Colorado as a State.
In the House reports were made
from the Committee of Elections, giv
ing the seat from Louisiana to Sheri
dan as against Pinchback, and from
Ivans s to Hodge as against Gause, to
be called up hereafter. An effort was
made to get the consideration of the
Louisiana report, and of the Arkansas
report, and of the caucus Force bilbbul
by a fusion between the Democrats
and the Moderate Republicans prefer
ence was given to the Sundry Civil
Appropriation bill, and the House went
into a committee upon it. .
G. T. Hoar, of Massachusetts, rose to
call up the report of the Special Com
mittee on Louisiana affairs.
Coburn, of Indiana, raised the ques
tion of consideration, and desired to
have precedence given to the bill re
ported by him, known as the Caucus
Force bill.
Poland, of Vermont, claimed that his
report on Arkansas matters should
have precedence.
Ward, of Illinois, sustained Poland’s
views, and represented that the dis
turbed condition of Arkansas demand
ed prompt action by Congress.
Hoar said that the resolutions re
ported by him yesterday contained re
commendations which were concurred
in by all the members of the Special
Committee, and immediate action was
desirable in view of the fact that the
Louisiana House of Representatives
which was asked to remedy the injus
tice would adjourn in a few days.
Poland suggested that all these
Southern matters should be allowed to
stand aside until after the passage of
the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill, and
that then they be taken up in the or
der of their presentation to the House.
Smith, of New York, claimed that
the constitutional amendment report
ed by him for the election of President
and Vice-President was the unfinished
business before the House, and was a
measure of the highest importance.
Conger, of Michigan, intimated that
Poland was the representative of the
party of masterly inactivity, and that
he might have had action on Arkansas
affairs long ago.
Poland defended himself from the
imputation, and said he had only
failed to press the earlier consideration
of Arkansas affairs in deference to the
public business as represented by the
Cludrman of the .Committee of Ways
anf Means and Appropriations. As
soon as the next Appropriation bill was
out of the way, he proposed to proceed
with it with all possible dispatch.
Negley thought it was high time that
the House should direct its own busi
ness, instead of leaving it to the Com
mittees on Ways and Means and Ap
propriations.
Ward, of Illinois, came to the de
fense of Poland and of the Committee
on Arkansas Affairs.
Coburn represented that the debate
on his bill would cover all the questions
raised in the reports of special commit
tees on the Southern States, and be
sides, his bill contained something defi
nite and tangible.
Finally, after a long colloquy, the
question was put on the motion of
Garfield, of Ohio, to go into committee
of the whole on the Sundry Civil Ap
propriation bill. The motion was agreed
to—yeas 145, nays 101. The Democrats
all voted for the motion, and 101 Rep
resentatives against it.
The discussion on the civil bill branch
ed off into frauds and intimidations,
and the use of overflowed bacon for
political purposes in Alabama, and
there was quite a noisy altercation over
it. After the committee rose there was
an exchange of compliments between
Eldredge, of Wisconsin, and Sypher, of
Louisiana, arising out of the report of
Eldredge’s speech a few nights ago.
Sypher characterized what he com
plained of as cowardly and contem
tible.
The Senate to-day passed bills for
the admission of Colorado and New
Mexico, and then took up Morton’s bill
to provide and regulate the counting
of votes for President and Vice-Presi
dent, but adjourned without action.
The Senate amended in several par
ticulars, the Colorado and New Mexico
bills, so that they will have to go back
to the House for the action of that
body.

pressed any such opinion, but have
refrained from treating in relation to
the questions of 1872, except in so far
as compelled so to do in the Wheeler

to promptly deny and correct the
same as unfounded in truth.
NEW YORK.
The Tilton-Beecher Case—Gen. Tracy
Opens for Beecher.
New York, February 24. —The Brook
lyn City Court room was crowded this
morning, when Gen. Tracey opened in
Beecher’s defense. All parties to the
suit were early in their places. Tra
cey devoted much eloquence on behalf
of Beecher, who, he said, took his
staud alone, but supported by his God
and the justice of his character. Ho
alluded to his prominence as a sup
porter of the Union at the commence
ment of the late war,. which, he said,
won the admiration of the whole world.
One of the most striking character
istics of the man was a profound and
earnest interest in young men. This
presecution was the reward he receiv
ed for the love and devotion he had
lavished upon a young man. Counsel
related the history of Tilton, and dwelt
upon his being a deist, and denounc
ing the marriage relations as frauds
and hindering the advancement of tho
world.
Sharkey, the Murderer.
District Attorney Phelps says the
State Department has declined to de
mand the surrender of the escaped
murderer, Sharkey, now in Havana, as
no extradition treaty exists with Spain,
but lie advised Capt. Curtis, of the
steamship Crescent City, whose life was
threatened by Sharkey, to make com
plaint to the Havana authorities, and
the arrest of the ruffian, which was
announced by an Associated Press tele
gram from Havana this morning,
shows that the captain acted on this
advice.

EVERY MOMENT OF DELAY MAKES
your cure more hopeless, and much depends
on the judicious choice of a remedy. The
amount of testimony in favor of Dr. Sclienek’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. Schenek’s Almanac, containing the certi
ficates of many persons of the highest respec
tability, who have been restored to health,
after being pronounced incuruble by physi
cians of acknowledged ability. Schenek’s
Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many, as
these evidences will show; but the cure is
often promoted by tho employment of two

for the purpose. Those additional remedies
aro Sehenck’s Sea Weed Tonic and Man

Cahaba Coal
“DON’T DUST UP ROOMS LIKE OTHER COAL,
Because the ASHES ARE HEAVY. It is the nicest Coal for richly fur
nished houses, rooms, parlors, offices, etc., ever used. It is first
class in every particular. It is clean, kindles quick, burns beauti
fully, and makes no cinders. It is Pure Coal, unmixed with
any earthy impurities, and burns up clean, like wood.
Parties from the North and East, who have
used Anthracite Coal, say the Cahaba is
' the best Coal in the United States.”
1 don’t say the above, but the man I bought from does, and “he is an Honorable
man.” I have bought a small quantity as an experiment, and will be glad to sell it, if
you w r ant to buy, at ELEVEN DOLLARS, CASH.
