THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
SUNDAY, MARCH 7, 1875.
CURIOUS PHENOMENA.
We have known cases that baffled
the skill of clever physicians, or at all
events submitted only to most tedious
and expensive treatment, and yet
yielded readily to a patent medicine
which cost but 25 cents. The Paris pa
pers record that an inmate of one of
the hospitals has had his nose to grow
more thaaan inch during a few days,
and that the medical men are flocking
to witness and investigate this re
markable proboscis. We would not ad
vise the owner of this unprecedented
nasal apparatus to allow too much ex
perimentation at the hands of science.
Better indeed for him to accept the
inevitable and make it pay. Babnum
would be a more useful doctor than
anybody skilled in the schools of physi
ology ; and in case an empiric should
cure the refractory nose, it would be
the making of the empiric at the ex
pense of the patient, who the minute
he ceased to have an unrivalled nose
would instantly sink into nothingness.
But more astonishing, perhaps, than
this “sudden growth of nose” is the
case of a Canadian woman who lives
and thrives on a pin diet, just as Mith
ridates is reported to have existed in
perfect felicity upon rankest poisons.
The Kingston Freeman, noting the phe
nomenon, says:
She is a born pin-swallower. We don’t
mean that she ; swallows belaying-pins,
hair-pins, or clothes-pins, but the small
pins so necessary for women in making
their toilets. And the strangest part of it
they agree with her, so she is waxing
healthy and fat. The lady, like all women,
lormed the habit of holding pins in her
mouth, and one day swallowed six. She
was terribly alarmed and expected to die,
but day after day passed by without any
trouble being experienced from this strange
diet, so she became quite unconcerned
about it. In less than a month after near
ly a dozen slipped through her lips, and.
also moved on gracefully down her throat.
No trouble whatever came Lfrom these
either; and then it seems the woman ac
quired an irresistible liking for pins. She
swallowed half a dozen or so every now
and then, and as this diet has been contin
ued nearly a year, she must be pretty well
lined with brass. When this lady took her
first meal of brass she was a slight, fragile
being, in very bad health. In a few weeks
she began to improve, and, as we before
stated, the more pins she swallows the
healthier she becomes.
As this is the age of wonders it may
be the doctors have overlooked the
sovereign curative power of pins.
There are many young women who are
far from healthy, and whose want of
rosy robustitude costs parents many
pangs and much cash. Would it not
be well for physicians to ascertain the
probable good effects of a pin treat
ment, in such instances? If there
should be serious objection to swallow
ing brass in the shape of pins, why not
administer it in liquid form ? To politi
cians in a poor state of physical well
being this new agent opens up a tre
mendous vista. Few public men, with
plenty of brass in their composition,
fail to succeed. It must be a lack of
brass that ails them. A generous pin
diet is what they want, and, instead of
posting off to the Virginia Springs, let
them seek the dry-goods stores and lay
in a full supply of those little instru
ments, which have hitherto been ex
cluded from the drug store and the
materia medico.
Seriously, though, the case of the
Kingston woman deserves attention,
and we sincerely hope that some ra
tional explanation may be presently
afforded of a phenomenon which, at
first blush, would seem to contradict
all known laws of nature and common
sense.
Ku Klux Outrages.— The latest Ku
Klux outrage is reported from Ala
bama. Three Radical negroes visited
the house of an old colored man named
Moses Tee, and forcibly taking him
therefrom, and tying him across a log,
whipped him unmercifully. Moses
says there were four in the crowd, but
the fourth man was unknown to him.
The negro whipped states that the
cause of this brutal outrage was that
he had incurred the displeasure of
these rascals (all bitter Radicals) be
cause he voted a Democratic ticket at
the last election.
Hon. A. H. Stephens voted with the
Radicals of the House of Representatives
to take up the resolutions concerning Lou
isiana, because, he said, he believed the
questions affecting Louisiana ought to be
settled by a majority of the House. Every
other Democrat believed they ought to be
settled by the people of Louisiana, and
therefore voted against Congressional ac
tion on the subject.— Columbus Enquirer*
Well, a majority of the people and
press of Louisiana seem to have ac
cepted the Wheeler compromise; so
what harm has Mr. Stephens done in
the premises ?
Louisiana.— All but four of the Con
servative members of the Louisiana
caucus have signed the Wheeler com
promise, and it is expected that all of
them will finally agree to adjustment
and take their places in the Legisla
ture, where they will have a majority.
Poor Joe.— A Washington special
represents Hawley, of Connecticut, as
perfectly furious. He swears that
Grant and Butler, with their infernal
carpet-baggers and their “ d—d force
bill,” are slaughtering him.
Hawley is a Republican and a candi
date for re-election to Congress.
The Georgia University Magazine.—
The students of the University have
engaged in the publication of a maga
zine. The first number has reached us,
and is a most creditable illustration of
the talents of its contributors.
The Republican View. —The Cincin
nati Gazette is making capital out of
the Democratic vote to smother Hoar’s
Louisiana resolutions. The same paper
sarcastically alludes to the Civil Rights
bill as a measure “in the interest of
j ustice and fair play, and altogether in
accordance with the preamble, which is
a verbatim copy of a section of the
declaration of principles adopted by
the last National Democratic Conven
tion.”
THE TAX BILL.
It must have been a serious matter
for a Republican Senate to reject the
tax bill, and then, at the personal so
licitation of the President and his Cab
inet, take it from the table and pass it
by a vote of 30 to 29. It appears that
Grant and Bristow declared the finan
ces of the Government would come to
virtual bankruptcy unless that measure
became a law ; and yet the odium at
tached to saddling a people, already
grievously burdened, with additional
impositions is hard to rub out. The Re
publican party cannot afford to lose a
single trick in the game of politics just
now, and the leaders in the Senate re
fused to make the people groan and
grumble over an increased tax ; but
according to the President and his
Secretary of the Treasury, it was either
another dive into the popular pocket
or a stoppage of the administration
machine, and, bitter as the pill was, the
former alternative was chosen by a
vote so close that it must have made
Mr. Bristow’s hair stand on end when
he kept tally.
This Tax bill will not be relished at
the North, the more so as its passage
was secured by nine Southern carpet
baggers, who owe their places to the
Sumner idea of reconstruction. The
North will suffer most by this bill and
from that section the most vociferous
“ squeal ” will come. It is stated as a
ruinous fact, and one hardly palatable
to New England, that the two affirma
tive votes which saved the bill were
those of Conover and Gilbert, of
Florida, Senators from a State which
will not pay SIOO out of ths $40,000,-
000 assessed.
Kansas Fund. —The Couriei'-Journal
says that some of the Kansas men,
through whose hands passed the grass
hopper fund, are now wearing gold
watches and diamond pins for the first
time in their lives.

WASHINGTON.
Progress of the Louisiana Adjust
ment.
Washington, March 6. —Until within
a few days, the plan of arbitrating
Louisiana affairs, so far as the com
mittee were concerned, was not posi
tively fixed. It may now be stated that
the case will be considered by the
whole committee, and that they will
commence work as soon a$ papers
coming from New Orleans reach them,
probably as early as Wednesday or
Thursday of next week. The propriety
of an extra session of the Louisiana
Legislature is still suggested by the
committee.
The President has prepared a list of
the nine new paymasters, which he will
probably send to the Senate on Mon
day. The nominations are about
equally divided between regular and
volunter officers, though there is an
other statement that but two regular
officers are included in the list. Names
are inaccessible. There are 240 appli
cant for the places.
The Lewis rider to the River and
Harbor bill was defeated in the Senate
by the absence of Gordon, of Georgia,
and Hitchcock, of Nebraska. General
Gordon, who entered the Senate almost
immediately after the vote, made ear
nest and persistent efforts for a motion
to reconsider.
Dennis, of Maryland, would have
complied, but he had not voted on the
call. Others who had voted nay were
deaf to solicitation to move a recon
sideration. Had Gordon been present
there would have been a tie, when the
Vice-President would have voted aye,
carrying the measure. Both Alcorn
and Gordon appealed to Morgan Ham
ilton, of Texas, for reconsideration, but
he was immovable.
The Republican caucus, as the re
sult of mere than three hours discus
sion, decided that the Senate shall, at
this session, take action on the reso
lutions submitted by Mr. Morton, and
they shall be considered and disposed
of in the following order :
Ist, The resolution declaring that P.
B. S. Pinchback is entitled to a seat in
the Senate; and 2d, the resolution de
claring that the existing Kellogg ad
ministration is the legal government of
Louisiana.
A number of Senators contended that
these resolutions should be considered
in precisely the reverse order, but the
majority determined otherwise, as
above stated.
Messrs. Logan, Howe, Frelinghuy
sen, Morrill of Maine, Sargeant, Wright
and Specer were appointed a committee
to revise the Standing Committees of
the Senate and report to an adjourned
meeting of the caucus. A similar com
mittee, consisting of Senators Steven
son, Bogy, Saulsbury, Davis and Whyte,
was appointed by the Democratic cau
cus to confer with the Republican com
mittee as to the representation of the
minority. They were unable to inform
the Republicans that the Democrats
are entitled, in view of their increased
numbers, and will expect to have an
increased representation on the com
mittees—say at least two on the com
mittees of seven members and three
on the committees of nine ; also, that
the minority should be accorded the
chairmanship and control of one of the
committees, besides the Committee on
Private Land Claims, which they have
heretofore held. It is generally un
derstood that these propositions will
be agreed to.
The Democratic caucus being called
merely for the purpose of organization,
did not discuss any political questions
to-day.
The Republican caucus, beyond de
termining the order of business, took
no action binding on the votes of its
members in regard to the Inal dis
position of the Louisiana questions.
Internal Revenue Decisions.
The following dispatch has been
issued by the Secretary of the Treas
ury to the Collectors of the principal
ports of the United States :
New rates of duties to take effect
March 3d, 1875, except on goods named
therein in warehouse, and except on
those on shipboard February 10, 1875.
Add to calculated duties on all sugars
25 per cent., the abatement of 10 per
cent, is no longer allowed. Bolting
cloths free.
The following was sent by the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue to Col
lectors of Internal Revenue:
You will resume the sale of the tax
paid on spirit stamps at 70 cents a
gallon for spirits produced, that is in
cistern room or warehouses prior to
midnight of the 3d inst., and make a
requisition for such tax paid on spirit
stamps, as such tax will be at once re
quired for spirits produced subsequent
to March 3.1875, and resume the sale
of tobacco stamps at twenty-four
cents per pound; cigar stamps at six
dollars per thousand, and cigarettes
stamps at $1.75 per thousand. The
words “Issued under act of March 3,
1875,” must be written or imprinted on
each tobacco, cigar or cigarette stamp.
Tobacco, cigars or cigarettes in the
hands of manufacturers, legally packed
and properly stamped on the morning
of March 3d, will be unaffi icted by the
change in the rate of tax. Unattached
stamps in the hands of tr lanufacturers
at that time may be excha .nged in the
manner prescribed by circular No. 98,
issued July, 1872, but cannot legally be
used to pay a higher rate of tax.
RHODE ISLAJ ND.
States Rights—The Little State in. a
State of Ferment— What’s Up P
. Newport, March G. —Gov. Howard
presented a report of Chief Constable
Northup to the Senate, yesterday af
ternoon, relative to the official inter
ference of United States Marshal Cog
geshall, at the recent seizure of liquors
which were under the protection of
the State. His speech has, it is said,
caused a profound sensation through
out the State. The following is the
substance of the speech.
In the collision between officers of
the State and the United States,
I was called on by a member
of the constabulary force, and
informed of an existing difficulty, and
asked to interfere in the matter. It
seemed to me, on an examination of
the facts, that although there was no
doubt in my own mind that I might
direct a portion of the military estab
lishment of the State to sustain the
State officers of law, yet prudence re
quired that the question might better
be decided by a court than by an inter
vention of the military. Besides, I was
reluctant to bring the military into an
tagonism with the police of the city of
Providence. I, therefore, directed the
constabulary to make no further effort
to seize the liquor then held by
the United States Marshal and Chief
of the police. Asa result this has been
placarded as a victory on the part of
the United States Marshal and his
Deputy. It seems proper that I should
therefore say that the punishment, if
any, is mine rather than that of the
State, constabulary and obloquy, if
any, is mine. I agree fully with the
universal opinion that these attach
ments are collusive and a thinly dis
guised sham, and I share a general
sense of mortification at the indignity
to which our commonwealth was sub
jected. I realize also the gravity of
the situation and recognize it
as an imperative duty to take
measures for an early and proper
adjustment of the question. There
have been dinned into our ears for the
past six months threats with regard to
Fort Adams and revenue cutters, but
so long as these threats were words,
and idle words, they have been treated
as such. Yet when it is gravely stated
by a respectable and intelligent journal
that troops from Fort Adams and the
United States revenue cutter Samuel
Dexter had been placed at the disposi
tion of the Marshal, it seems proper to
ask why is this done ? Whom is it de
sired to attack? Not a foreign foe;
not a turbulent community in rebel
lion. It must be then for a purpose of
waging war on the people of a State. A
State whose people from the date of its
settlement have been noted for their
intelligent conservatism and patriot
ism. It may be improper for this hon
orable body to consider such measures,
but now that issue is directly forced.
I think it ought to receive your atten
tion. Your presence here, Senators, is
a mockery and a farce. If such pro
ceedings as these are sustained by the
Federal Government, your henorable
judiciary and Executive may as well
resign their offices and leave the con
trol and direction of State affairs to
the subordinates of the United States
Government.
No graver question has been forced
upon the State since its first settlement.
It is a vital question, for in it are in
volved the sovereignty of the State,
and the harmonous relations of the
State with the United States. The lit
tle State of Rhode Island is entitled on
such points to au equal respect as
larger States or the General Govern
ment itself. I make no argument on
this question of the General Assembly,
and 1 am confident it will be adjusted
in such a manner as to vindicate the
honor of the State and maintain the
integrity of the laws. I have not the
slighest doubt that the authorities at
Washington when this matter is proper
ly communicated to them will promptly
and emphatically condemn and re
pudiate the proceedings of the Mar
shal in these premises.
VIRGINIA.
An Antidote for Civil Rights.
Richmond, March 6.—Mr. Gilman, of
Richmond City, introduced a bill in the
House of Delegates to punish disturb
ances in hotels, theatres, and other
places of amusement. It provides that
persons who create disturbances in
hotels by boisterous demands for ac
commodation, after the proprietor or
his agent has declined to entertain
them for want of room, or other rea
sonable specified causes, shall be pun
ished by fine or imprisonment.
In the case of theatres, managers
are to have the right to issue reserve
tickets stamped “ not transferrable,”
and when a party, not an original
purchaser, demands admittance the
door-keeper can refuse him, but the
price of the ticket must be refunded.
If he refuses to take the money and
thereby creates disturbances he is
liable to arrest and fine. In both cases
half of the fine goes to the hotel
keepers or manager as the case may
be. There are similar provisions re
garding steamboats and railroads. The
bill is regarded as an antidote to the
Civil Rights bill.

Religious Matters—A Federal Official
Come to Grief.
Burlington, March 6.—The Standing
Cordmittee of the Diocese of New
Jersey, refuse to consent to Jagger’s
consecration. DeKoven’s papers were
not received.
A. J. Crane, late Collector of Internal
Revenue of the 3d Distrrict, was sen
tenced to eighteen months imprison
ment and two thousand dollars fine
for irregularities in office.
Cotton Matters.
New York, March 6. —During the
week the cotton market has ruled very
firm, but the movement in exports was
very light, as prices generally were
held above the views # of buyers, par
ticularly exporters who have orders on
hand awaiting execution but cannot
operate at current rates. Thursday's
prices at the Exchange were marked
up % of a cent, but under the influence
of Liverpool advices the advance wa3
lost on the following day. In futures
the dealings have been rather tame,
and the general character of the deal
ings indicated much irregularity and
want of tone to values.
Blasting Ice.
Port Jervis, March 6.—Mr. Ocharute,
Chief Engineer of the Erie Railway,
yesterday made further experiments in
blasting ice in the river bed. He states
that no water has found its way to the
bottom, but is running underneath the
gorge. He proposes to wait till the
current rises to a sufficient height to
-carry off the ice, and then start the
whole by blasting. It needs watching,
and when the right moment comes
blasting will begin.

The Catholic Persecution in Germany
—The French Muddle.
Berlin, March 6.—A1l parties, except
the Ultrarnontanes and extreme Con
servatives, have agreed to support the
bill withdrawing State endowments
from the Catholic clergy. It is believed
another bill is preparing, requiring the
test oath from Catholic applicants for
civil service, and to dismiss those who
fail to give satisfactory assurance of
loyalty.
Paris, March G.—Differences between
Buffet and Dufaure interrupted nego
tiations for organizing the new Minis

but no result announced.

ALABAMA.
Expulsion of a Negro Legislator.
Montgomery, Macrh 6.— The House
of Representatives, by a unanimous
vote, expelled a negro member named
Gaskin, for proposing to do certain
things in his Legislative capacity for
S3OO. The committee examining charges
consisted of three Democrats, and one
white and one colored Republican, and
reported unanimously that he was
guilty.
There is universal rejoicing in Ala
bama over the defeat of the Force
bill.

Civil Rights in Tennessee.
Chattanooga, March 6.—The passage
of the Civil Rights bill is causing con
siderable feeling everywhere. Two of
the principal hotels here have given up
their license, and will run as private
boarding houses. A white man tried
to hire a negro to seat himself at a
table in the Read House dining room
last night, but the negro was fearful of
the consequences. There were a num
ber of Kentuckians taking supper at
the time, and they would have pitched
the ne: ro out of a window if he had at
tempted it. The dining room being in
the second story, the consequences
would have been serious.
Fires.
Sunbury, Penn., March 6.— The house
of Mr. G. Schley, near Selin’s Grove,

RESOLUTIONS
Unanimously adopted by Richmond
Lodge, No. 43, I. O. G. TANARUS., at their regu
lar meeting Monday evening, March Ist.
1873:
Augusta, Ga., March Ist, 1875.
lo Richmond Lodge, No. 43,1. O. G. TANARUS:
At a late meeting of this Lodge, the un
dersigned were appointed a Committee to
report a suitable tribute to the memory of
our late Brother, Henry M. Boardman.
To the performance of a duty more melan
choly, as well as more difficult, we were
never called. To speak in terms commen
datory of the many and gifted virtues
which adorned the life and embellished the
character of our departed brother, were an
easy undertaking; but to essay the narra
tion of our sorrow at his demise, which is
so overwhelming, of our grief at his loss,
which is so burdensome, our tongues woulu
falter and our pens be paralyzed. In every
relation of life the deceased was truly dis
tinguished. His religion was to be found
in the-perfect integrity of his life; as a citi
zen. his heart was warmed by the flames
of the most exalted patriotism; he was
“blessed with the sweetest and richest
endearments of home and family, of a life
of unmingled happiness.” Next to his own
family, he was by us best known, loved and
respected. If he had an enemy, it was un
known to his friends.
“ Ho had kept
The whiteness of his soul, and thus men
o’er him wept.”
Resolved, That his family, this Lodge,
and his fellow citizens have sustained a
great bereavemont in his death; that we
deplore his untimely loss to all, without
questioning that Providence which ordereth
all things for the best.
Resolved, That to the crushiug affliction
which has thus fallen upon his family we
make the offering of our sincere condo
lence, and tr ust that his beloved wife—our
sister—may find some consolation to her
mounful heart in the society of those to
whom her lamented husband looked for
strength and symoathy.
Resolved, That tne charter and regalia of
this Lodge be draped in mourning for the
unexpirod term of his office, that no elec
tion for his successor be held until the next
regular election of officers, and that be
side the chair left vacant by his death,(and
now draped, in mourning, another be
placed, which shall be occupied from meet
ing to meeting, until the ensuing quarter
shall have begun, by an appointee of the
Worthy Chief Templar.
Resolved, That tnese resolutions b •> tran
scribed in the minutes of this meeting, a
copy furnished the family of the deceased,
and to the Chronicle and Sentinel and Con
stitutionalist for publication.
Most earnestly, in Faith, Hope and
Charity,
