WASHINGTON.
Andrew Johnson Makes a Speech— j
The Transient Newspaper Law-
Confirmations.
Washington, March 22. —Confirma-
tions : Postmasters, Arnold at Albany,
Georgia, and Clinton at Aberdeen, Mis
sissippi.
In the Senate, the consideration of
unfinished business being the resolu
tion approving of the action of the
President in regard to Louisiana was
resumed, and ex-President Johnson
began to speak at ten minutes past
twelve o’clock.
. Scott Smith has been indicted for
libelling McFarland. The fact that
both parties are Washington telegraph
correspondents gives the case a re- ;
spectable scent.
Commencing with to-morrow, the
Republicans havo determined to set
Grant, Kellogg and Louisana out.
Postmaster-General Jewell directs
that the new law regarding transient
newspapers go into effect immediately
instead of the Ist of April.
Great Turn Out to Hear A. Johnson
—He Ventilates His Policy and Hits
Grant a Lick or Two—lmportant De
cision of the Supreme Court.
In the Senate every seat was occu
pied, and thousands were surging
through the galleries* to hear Andrew
Johnson. After eleven o’clock ingress
was impossible. The diplomatic galle
ries were well filled. The Cenate floor,
proper, was crowded with privileged
outsiders. Johnson was dressed in his
usual style of elegant neatness. He
has a full suit of gray hair. His voice
was at first low, but gradually swelled
until it rang through the corridors.
He spoke without notes. He was loud
ly applauded when he said, “ If Grant
is elected a third term, then good-bye
to the Republic.”
He spoke two hours, getting ap
plause from the galleries and congrat
ulations from his friends on the floor.
He spoke at length of the traditions of
the Republic. Clay introduced a reso
lution denouncing Jackson for remov
ing deposits. It was then decided that
the Senate had no right to pass upon
the action of tho President unless sit
ting as a court of impeachment. He
alluded to the troubles in Tennessee in
1806, when resignation was defeat
ed by a quorum. Gen. Thomas was
instructed strictly to abstain from any
interference.
This dispatch was written by the
Secretary of War, in the presence of
the President. He declared it was not
his intention to give utterance to a
single personal matter, but to speak of
public acts. He then referred to the
removal of Sheridan from command of
the Fifth Military District in 1867. It
was in consequence of the wail which
came up from the people of that sec
tion. Why was it Sheridan was se-.
lected to be sent back to these people,
who before condemned him and prayed
for his removal ? He (Johnson) knew
the determination of the people of the
South. Their great object was to be
restored to the Union.
Referring to the action of Grant to
ward Louisiana, he would say to this
emperor what Cato said to the ambas
sador of Caesar. Let him disband his
legions and restore the Commonwealth
to liberty. Let him do that, and he,
(Johnson), as humble as he was, would
mount the rostrum and strive to have
an indignant people forgive him for his
violation of law.
The Supreme Court decided the case
of Blake vs. the First National Bank
of the city of New York, by reversing
tho decision of the Circuit Courts of
New York, Pennsylvania and Massa
chusetts, and holdiftg that the incomes
of banks and railroad companies and
other corporations for the last five
months of the year 1871, were subject
to an internal revenue tax of two and a
half per cent. This decision secures to
the Government about $3,000,000.
The Department of the Interior will
send a geologist to the Black Hills
country to investigate the reports of
its alleged mineral wealth. In the
meantime, the War Department will be
asked to protect the Sioux in all their
treaty rights, and allow no white per
sons to enter that country. Rapid
steps are in progress towards entering
into negotiations with the Sioux for the
extinguishment of their title.
The United States vs. Home Insur
ance Company and the United States
vs. Southern Insurance and Trust Com
pany appeals from the Court of Claims.
In these cases the question was
whether the insurance companies, hav
iug been chartered by the State of
Georgia when in rebellion, have any
legal existence.
The court holds that as the Legisla
ture was the law-making power of the
State, de facto, all enactments not in
actual hostility to the Constitution and
Union of the States, and not prohibit
ed, must be held to have the force gen
erally accorded to the action of de
Jacto public officers. Any other doc
trine, it is said, would work unneces
sary hardship upon the people of the
States in rebellion, without correspond
ing benefit to the people of the other
States, and w ithout any advantage to
the National Government. The incor
porating acts had no relation to any
thing else than the domestic concerns
of tiie State, and must be treated as
valid. In respect to another point
made in the case, that only persons
who could have given aid and comfort
to the rebellion can sue under tho cap
tured and abandoned property act,
and that corporaiions could not have
so aided the rebellion, it is held other
wise that they could, as corporations
have so acted, and that they will be
treated as persons. Affirmed. Mr.
Justice Strong delivered the opinion.
NEW ORLEANS.
Tlie Wheeler Compromise—A Satis
factory Adjustment Predicted.
New Orleans,
of the compromise wiil be withheld un
til the Legislature meets, which will
probably be on the 10th of April.
The Wheeler award has been re
ceived by Gov. Kellogg, but has not
been officially published. It is under
stood, however, that the committee
have decided that about eleven Con
servative members not returned by the
Returning Board, as elected, are entitled
to seats. The arbitrators decide that
Mr. Elam, claiming to have been elect
ed to the Senate on the Conservative
ticket for the district, which includes
the towns of Cousliatta and Colfax, is
not entitled to a seat, and that in
Grant parish there was no election for
a member of the House, and the Con
servative contestant is awarded a seat
in the Senate. The awards, it is under
stood, leaves the House Democratic
and the Senate Republican, with a
small Republican majority on joint bal
lot. All seven of the arbitrators signed
the awards. Mr. Wheeler is expected
to come to New Orleans to aid in carry
ing out the adjustment. It is intima
ted on good authority that Gov. Kel
logg will call an extra session of the
Legislature, to meet about the 12th or
15th of April. The friends of adjust
ment claim that there will be no diffi
culty in carrying it into effect, public
sentiment being now strongly in favor
of a settlement of political difficulties.

Mr. Editor : Sunday .afternoon last,
St. James’ Sunday school room was
crowded with teachers, pupils and vis
itors. When the regular services of
the school were opened Mr. A. M. Ver
dery, a member of one of the Bible
classes, arose in his place, and, after a
feeling, appropriate and short speech
concerning the life aud death of the
late Mr. Joseph Stull), offered and
read to the school the following obitu
ary notice, which, on motion of Mr. P.
H. Ward, seconded by the able and
greatly beloved pastor of tho church,
the Rev. H. J. Adams, was, by a rising
vote, adopted, and ordered to be pub
lished :
Death’s invisible spirit is everywhere
seeking its victims. It finds them on
the battlefield and in the peaceful city.
It invades the palace as well as the
hovel, coming like a thief in the night
to steal our budding hopes and bloom
ing joys away and fills our spirits with
grief. Our school, with numerous rela
tives and friends, has recently been
called upon to mourn the loss of Jo
seph Stulb, one of our most attentive
scholars, who died Wednesday, Febru
ary 17, 1875, after a brief illness, in the
nineteenth year of his age.
“To know him was to love him.”
With his associates he was ever a wel
come companion, and received by them
always with gladness. Of a retiring
disposition, it was in the sacred circle
of home that his virtues were best
known . and best appreciated. In his
character and person were blended
those virtues and graces which throw
the brightest colorings over human ex
istence.
Recording this slight tribute to his
memory, we can but tender our heart
felt sympathies to father, mother and
family. And we are left to say, may
the Almighty, who doeth all things
right, be near the afflicted ones in their
sorrow, teaching them submission to
His will, and enabling each one of them
to say : “Thy will, O Lord, not mine,
be done ! ”

SOUTHERN PORTS.
How They are Taking the Carrying
Trade Away from New York City.
New York, March 18.—The two week
ly lines of steal lers between this port
and New Orleans, run by Maliery &
Cos. and F. Baker, have discontinued
their trips, leaving only one regular
line in the trade, The agent of that
line, when questioned as to the cause
of the withdrawal of the other two,
said it had been brought about by the
grea p depression of trade, politics in
Louisiana, and the fact that most of
the cotton which formerly found its
way to New York in transit for Liver
pool, is now shipped directly in steam
ers to Europe from New Orleans. New
York is not the great receiving port
for cotton that it used to be. As things
stand at present there is not work for
more than one steamship line. Sailing
ships have cut up the trade. Freights
are low, and should matters not take a
more favorable turn, steamships will
not succeed in making more thau run
ning expenses. The steamship trade
to Savannah ha3 of late decreased to
half its former extent.
Fix Up My Liver. —An English phy
sician recently removed a section of a
patient’s liver, placed it on a plate,
scraped it carefully and returned it to
its place, fully returned to its normal
action. This promises to work a revo
lution in the treatment of the disease,
and in a few years we will have an ad
dition to domestic literature some
thing like this : “ Husband, I wish you
would take John’s right lung down to
the doctor this morning and have the
middle valve fixed,” or “ Will you step
into the doctor s when you come home
this noon and see if he has Mary’s
liver mended, as she wants to go out*to
tea this evening ?” The practice will
become so common in time, we are
sure, that none of the neighbors will be
in any way startled to see a wife with a
veil tied around head leaning out of a
bed-rootn window and shouting to a
receding husband; “Jer-e-miah! tell
Dr. Scra'pem to send up Willie’s right
kidney at once, whether it is done or
not. He’s had it more’n a week, and
the child might as well be without any
kidney, aud be done with it.”
[Danbury Neivs.
During the great collapse of 1857 a
gentleman of color kept a bank in a
Western city. His institution was ap
parently in a sound condition, but to
be in fashion with the white folks he
concluded to fail. Next morning a man
came and shook the door, but a voice
inside responded that “De bank is
closed.” But the man replied that he
had left anew pair of boots there the
day before and wanted them. The sa
ble financier opened the door softly,
and throwing out one boot remarked :
“We is only paying fifty cents on the
dollar.”
“The success of the ‘Shaughraun,’ ”
says Bourcieault, “is the greatest honor
of my life, except one, and that was
conferred upon me once, fifty years

found myself to be an Irishman.”
THE LATEST SOCIAL HORROR.
The Fatal Folly of a Beautiful and
Gifted Woman.
The death in New York of Mrs,
Annie J. Curtis, from an operation pro
duced by a Mrs. Ihls, has been an
nounced. The New York Tribune says :
“Mrs. Curtis, who was born in Cali
fornia, was the wife of Tyler Curtis, of
San Francisco, who was once a candi
date for Mayor of that city. Mrs. Cur
tis was very beautiful, and her voice
was of surpassing sweetness, compass
and power. After wedding Mr. Curtis,
who was then wealthy, she went to
Europe and studied music and the lan
guages. Reverses overtook them, and
returned to New York about a year
ago, and the husband went to San
Francisco, leaving his wife in New
York. His remittances failing, she tried
to make her musical talents available
for her support. She attracted the in
terest of Max Strakoseh, who recog
nized her voice as one which, with cul
tivation, could be made profitable.
He undertook the direction of her mu
sical study, and secured Isani for her
teacher. Mr. Strakoseh, it is said, was
so confident of her abilit y that he pro
posed to take her to Europe this
month, and, confident of a successful
debut there, she was to reappear in
New York as a star of greater magni
tude even thau Nillsson and Albani. It
was this hope that cheered her in her
poverty. In her intercourse with mus
ical people, Mrs. Curtis came in con
tact with Benjamin Gregory, of No. 324
West Twenty third street, son of the
late Dudley S. Gregory, of Jersey City,
a millionaire, and one of the best
known men in New Jersey. Mr. Gre
gory is a man of great inherited wealth.
His ruling passion is music, and he
made a vacancy for her in the choir of
the Church of the Atonement, of which
he is organist. In their subsequent
companionship, Mrs. Curtis acquainted
Mr. Gregory with her history. Their
intimacy began three months ago,
with the sad results already recorded.”
The New York Sun furnishes the
following in regard to the desertion of
Mrs. Curtis by her husband :
“ Promising to have them join him in
a few months at the furthest, the hus
band left his wife and daughters in
lodgings in New York and went to San
Francisco alone. Sufficient funds for
the family’s maintenance were remitted
at first, and the correspondence was
regular. Mrs. Curtis meanwhile was
diligent in her musical studies. Six
months passed and remittances from
San Francisco came too infrequently to
support tho wife and her stepdaugh
ters. The husband’s neglect grew so
marked that she mentioned ii in cor
respondence with her father and beg
ged him to ascertain its cause. The
answer came that Tyler Curtis was
throwing himself away so persistently
that she had better forget him alto
gether.”
[New York Herald, 2fth.
Funeral of Mrs. Curtis, the Victim—
A Remarkable Scene—Disposition
of the R . mains—Tho Inquest.
The funeral of Mrs Curtis took place
yesterday afternoon at one o’clock,
from her late residence, No. 12 Union
Square. There was a largo attendance
and among them many of the musical
celebrities of the day, who crowded the
rooms to excess. It was evident the
dead lady had many friends. There
were also several Californians present,
who had either known her or her fam
ily in San Francisco. Mr. Max Strak
osch and Mr. LaFayette Harrison,
among the managers, assisted at the
ceremonies. These were very solemn
and impressive, and the dreadfully
tragic manner in which the deceased
had met her death added to the gloom
of the occasion. The remains were en
closed in a handsome rosewood casket,
lined with lead, for transportation to
California. She was attired in tho dress
which had been made for her appear
ance in a concert at Irving Hall, one
month ago, and in death she wore it
for the second time. It was a lavender
silk, trimmed with orange blossoms.
On the plate was inscribed :
; Annie J. Cuitis, ;
: Aged 24 Years. :
The face was beau Iful even in death,
though the lower portion of the chin
bore marks of the progress of the de
stroyer. Some beautiful floral tributes
lay on the coffin.
Dr. Tiffany, of the Church of the
Atonement, where Mrs. Curtis had
been for some time the soprano, and
where she had met the man who ac
complished her ruin, Gre: ory, conduct
ed the ceremony and read the beautiful
service of the Episcopal Church. The
whole choir of the church was also
present and sung the “ Rock of Ages.”
At this moment the effect was such
that everybody in the room wept. The
stepdaughters of the dead lady, to
whom she had been always more than
a kind mother, having worked and toil
ed for them in affliction, gave way to
the intensity of their grief, and the
singers themselves, unable to with
stand the influence of the scene, broke
down and the hymu ended in a sobbing
murmur. It was a remarkable display
of grief and affection and showed how
the deceased had been. loved by those
who knew her.
The remains were then taken to the
receiving vault at the Marble Ceme
tery in Second street, to await the wish
of the relatives in California. This is
the last of one who had been an orna
ment in her circle—a beautiful woman,
a singer of the greatest promise, aud a
lady of true refinement, and who, for
all that, fell, and died the most terrible
of deaths.
[New York Times.
Advertising Murderers.
All sorts of trades are now carried
on through the convenient medium of
the advertising columns of newspapers.
But it is something peculiar to our
later civilization to find women openly
advertising their readiness to commit
murder. This kind of traffic is only
permitted to bo carried on through the
colums of one or two newspapers in
this city, and we are not without hopes
that they will abandon it after they
have thoroughly considered tho case
of Mrs. Curtis, tno unhappy woman
who perished so miserably in Union
Square on Wednesday last. That
the trade of the advertisers i.i question
m that of simple murder, either of
mother or child, no human being can
doubt. The practice which they carry
on would not be attempted by the moot
skillful surgeon, apart altogether Hum
the legal perils which he would incur.
He would know very well that the
chances were as a hundred to one
against its success. All the skilled sur
geons in the world could not undertake
to carry through successfully a single
ease of the kind referred to. And yet
there are women, driven half wild by
shame and fear, who bring themselves
to believe that persons of their own
sex, without regular training or experi
ence, can succeed in doing that which
would baffle all the most accomplished
medical men on the face of the earth.
The Herald has too often been the
means of bringing these wretched wo
men into communication with their de
stroyers. We hope it is the last time
it will consent to serve in that capaci
ty. But the case of Mrs. Curtis shows
how necessary it is that the law should
be brought to bear, with extremest ri
gor, upon the assassins, male and fe
male, who advertise their proficiency in
the infamous calling to which we need
not in these columns give a name. We
are well aware that women like Mrs.
Curtis receive, as a rule, little sympa
thy from their own sex. Nevertheless,
it is a shocking thing to see a fellow
creature dying the death of a dog
nay, a death ten thousand times worse
than that of a dog—in the heart of
this great Christian city. We, none
of us, know the steps which gradually
led her to her horrible fate. Once,
doubtless, she was as far from antici
pating such an end as tue purest wo
man now alive. No one ever jumps
suddenly into utter destruction and
sluime. She may have been pushed on
to this awful end by a thousand mio
fortunes, not one of which may excuse
her crimes in the eyes of man, but
which may perhaps lead us to bo silent
abouc these crimes, except in so far as
others may be tempted to commit
them. And there the law and society
come in for their share of responsibii
ty. When a woman like Mrs. Curtis
prepares to take the final step in her
downward course, is it right that the
newspapers should show her how and
where to take? Ought not the police to
hunt down with mercy the “ Madame
Ihls” and others who carry on the trade
which must be accursed by Crod as it is
execrated by man ?
Prevention is what is wanted here.
There is no difficulty in dealing with
these “medical” assassins when they
are dragged before a just and severe
judge. Recorder Hackett has dealt
with several of them, and in such a
way as to sweep them out of the com
munity. But he cannot move until the
crime is committed. Tho police ought
to step in to prevent the crime. Does
anybody suppose that sharp detectives
could not long ago have brought all the
quacks who advertise in the Herald
and other papers to the bar of jus
tice? No one has any doubt as to the
nature of their trade. We all know
what their advertisements mean. Is it
necessary to wait until some poor wo
man is hurried into eternity, with all
her sins upon her soul, before arresting
the evil wretches who prey upon hu
man frailty and misery ? “ Mine. Ihl ”
may possibly receive her deserts now
that she has killed a woman. But why
not put an end to her horrible traffic ?
It is a disgrace to our laws and civili
zation that it should go unmolested,
and that one of its “professors’ should
still be allowed to occupy a “ conspicu
ous residence ” in the most “ fashion
able ” part of this city.
