WASHINGTON.
Pardee Laid on the Table. Adjourn
ment of the Senate.
Washington, March 24.—The Senate
confirmed F. M. Sharder as Postmaster
at Dennison City, Texas.
The Senate was in executive session
to-day, most of tho time being spent in
discussing the nomination of D. A.
Pardee to be United States District
Judge of Louisiana, vice Durell, resign
ed. The nomination was finally laid
on the table.
A committee was then appointed to
wait upon the President and inform
him that the Senate was ready to ad
journ, unless he had some further
communication to make.
The President replied he had not.
The usual resolutions of thanks to
the Vice-President and President pro
tern, of the Senate were agreed to, and
the Senate, at 5:45 o’clock, adjourned
sine die.
LOUISIANA AFFAIRS,
A Legal Muddle Caused by Pardee’s
Rejection--Gov. Kellogg Calls an
Extra Session of the Legislature.
March 24.—The action
tabling Pardee’s nomination places
legislation in Louisiana in an awak
ward position. The District Judge
alone has jurisdiction in bankruptcy
and admiralty cases. Neither Judge
Wood nor Judge Bradly has ini
tiatory voice in these brances of law.
There is now in the bands of the regis
try of the District Court for distribu
tion, by order of District Judge, $72,-
000.
Other suits in bankruptcy, involving
over $200,000, are pending.
There aie doubts of the President’s
power to appoint a Judge ad interim.
It seems probable that all cases in
bankruptcy and admiralty must remain
in abeyance until the next session of
Congress.
Judge Pardee has unconditionally
withdrawn from the contest.
New Orleans, March 24.—Gov. Kel
logg to-night issued a call for an extra
session of the Legislature, to meet in
New Orleans, Wednesday, April 14th,
to carry out the adjustment. The sub
jects for legislation are limited by the
call to six, viz: Ist, Adjustment of po
litical difficulties; 2d, Revenues of the
State and modes of collection and dis
bursement; 3d, Amending of the fund
ing bill so as to change the constitution
of the Funding Board, aud prevent
funding of illegal obligations ; 4th, The

INCIDENTS OF THE TORNADO.
Woman’s Heroism and Fortitude.
Mt. Holly near Thomson, Ga., |
March 22,1875. [
Mr. Editor : Being at home on Satur
day, and, in the line of the march of
the fearful tornado, which passed
through our section on that day, I re
cord for the benefit of your numerous
readers, some of the many incidents,
which occurred during the prevalence
of the mighty storm.
Before penning the incidents referred
to, let me premise |by saying, that I
have experienced the fierceness of the
storm, on sea, and on land, in years
gone by, but never before had I dream
ed of the power and terrific awfuiness
of the winds.
No pen can describe the awful gran
deur of the scene, as witnessed (from
my window) looking toward the West,
for some fifteen minutes before the
tornado burst upon us, in all its fury.
A black cloud gathered in the north
west and one in the southwest, aud,
while the muttering thunder in the
distance indicated the cloudy wrath of
the impending elements, riffles of
clouds could be seen dashing with
electric speed to and fro, north and
south, while the main clouds seemed
to emit fire. Duriug this time, which
lasted about half an hour, the roaring
was like that of distant thunder or
rapid discharge of artillery.
On the tempest came, and we had
not long to wait, in breathless conster
nation, the reality of foreboding fears.
My own family—a wife, eight children
and an elder brother} all in the house
—seemed apparently paralyzed at the
fearful outlook.
In an instant it was upon us—the
awful roar, the quivering of tho house,
the breaking of window glass by the
force of the wind, the debris flying
across the west of the house, fence
rails and limbs of trees flying fifteen
feet in the air, and darkening the at
mosphere.
It lasted for full three minutes, when
all was over and we ventured to look
out of a drenched house. What a
sight! It appeared as if we had been
magically transported to anew coun
try. Houses, fences and forest gone
that we were accustomed to look at
daily, and many houses in view we
could not see in the distance before.
But I must stop this strain. I can
only sum up the trying ordeal as ex
perienced in the tornado by the expres
sion of my wife, who, after viewing tho
scene of impending danger and turn
ing pale with resigning calmness, said
she turned to meet a common death
with the children.
Ana now, to the interesting incidents
referred to. Two miles from Thom
son, Mr. John T. Stovall and lady were
both injured by tho shattered frag
ments of their falling house. Mrs. S.
had her ankle crushed, and Mr. Stovall
was fastened between some timbers,
one leg crushed and broken in two
places.
No assistance to extricate him was
near, and Mrs. S., with heroic forti
tude, procured a saw, and wont to work
to extricate her husband.
In a half mile of me lives Mr. Solon
Reese and lady Their house was rid
dled to fragments, and both were in
jured by falling lumber and bricks
Mrs. R. seriously so.
Mr. R., although injured, carried a
mattress in the yard and laid his wife
upon it, where she lay exposed to the
heavy rain which followed, before she
could be removed, and is now suffering
much on account of the exposure.
Another case of presence of mind
was that of Mrs. Solon Young, a rrfile
further east. Mr. Young was from
home. Mr. Peters, a crippled friend,
crawled in out of the approaching
storm. Mrs. Y., seeing the approach
of the storm, took her three children
(the youngest an infant) to bed.
The house was unroofed, the falling
debris stunning Mr. Peters. In the
confusion Mrs, Young became sepa
rated from her babe, and was fastened
under some timbers so that it was im
possible to extricate herself. In that
condition she turned to witness her
babe in the pelting rain, which must
soon have strangled it, and with ex
haustive effort she reached her babe
with her feet, and drew it to her arm,
thereby saving its life.
The mother of Mr. Geo. W. Gray, the
efficient and obliging Clerk of Colum
bia Superior Court .and residing with
him, was very feeble and an invalid,
and at the time was lying on a mattress
before the fire. When the house‘was
unroofed the body caughtfromthe fire
place, where Mrs. Gray was lying.
Paralyzed as she was, she could not
move, though seeing the approach of
the fire, and there was none to assist
her (her daughter-in-law being serious
ly wounded in the head.)
In this dilemma providence came
to her relief, the heavy rains extinguish
ed the fire just as it reached where she
was lying.
At Germany’s creek, half mile west
of me, two white men and a negro in
the employ of Mr. H. A. Story were re
turning from Thomson with a two mule
wagon loaded with guano, when the
wagon was upset, the mules entirely
stripped of harness, and the driver, Mr.
McCoy seriously, if not fatally wounded
by a falling limb. *
Many other instances might be enu
merated, but these are penned to ex
hibit the calmness and fortitude of
woman under trying ordeals.
On looking over the desolate track
of the tornado, as far as we have pros
pected, the great wonder is that con
sidering so many houses were destroy
ed so few lives were lost. A merciful
providence indeed. J. H. S.

THE GOLD GAMBLERS.
Cause and Origin of the Excitement in
Wall Street. How the United States
Stands in .he Money Markets of the
World. Present Manoeuvres and
Probable Results.
Gold is up, stocks are up, wheat is
up, everything is up, and a state of af
fairs seems to prevail diametrically op
posed to that which is described in the
old German song :
Stock ist weg,
Rock ist weg,
Alles ist weg!
What does it all mean? Is it a gen
uine revival of business, or is it mere
gambling on the part or a few power
ful individuals who have made up their
minds to make money at all hazaids?
Most of our contemporaries say it is
the beginning of a recovery from the
depressed condition of trade; but to
make out the truth concerning the ac
tual condition of affairs is by no means
an easy task. Jay Gould and the “gold
pool,” with Daniel Drew and Robinson
at its head, are supposed to be fiercely,
at war; but when it comes to disclosing
their mutual plans and giving a chance
of escape to the public, they protect
each other better than moat intimate
friends would have done.
“Do you expect that if you come
dc >vu here as a newspaper scribe to
spy out what is going on, you will
l. aru anything?” said a friend to me
the other day. “If you want to know
anything join the ranks; buy and sell;
lose or make money, and then you will
learn something. Could you ever set
out writing about Abyssinia after hav
ing merely talked to H. M. Stanley or
Billy Russell, of the London Times ?
Certainly not. The same thing is true
in this case.”
And so I came down here, and am
trying to make or lose money, aud
to learn what can be learned.
The rise in stocks is a purely artifi
cial one, created by Jay Gould. The
only securities in which transactions
are brisk are those in which he deals ;
all others lie dormant as formerly.
With gold the thing stands differently;
its rise is partially artificial aud partly
natural; and if- wheat rises in the West,
it is solely because gold is rising, and
the farmer can obtain proportionately
more greenbacks for his produce.
In this way the really important ele
ment of movements is that of gold
only, and it will remain so, consequent
upon the peculiar commercial, political
and natural condition of this country.
To begin with, the amount of gold
held by the nation is small, aud the
products unchangeable with foreign
lands are all raw, unmanufactured,
and consequently cheap articles ; while
the extravagance of the people sur
passes all reasonable limits. Everybody
wants everything from Europe, and
the United States accumulates in this
way every year a debt of over $150,-
000,000 with specie-payiug countries.
Then, again, all the freight and passen
ger money goes to foreign countries.
The gold which France sends to Eng
land and England to France returns
again. The velvets and silks of Lyons,
and the wines of Bordeaux are paid for
in London in the same coin aud to
about the same amount as Manchester
and Sheffield goods are paid for on the
other side of the channel; while in this
country wheat and salt pork are almost
the only articles the country has to
pay with for all the European products
absorbed by its fast aud extravagant
population. The expectation that under
such circumstances the country will
ever be able to return to specie pay
ments in 1879, or even at the close of
the century, is a perfect hallucination.
The position of the United States in
the money market of the world is
about as bad as that of Russia, and by
far worse than that of Austria or Italy.
Yet in none of these haff-bankrupt
countries do people entertain any ex
pectation of returning to specie
payments within the living gen
eration. In round numbers there
are some $800,000,000 of paper
money in circulation against some
$20,000,000 of gold in this coun
try, exclusive of California, The in
terest on a debt of $1,715,000,000 has
constantly to be paid in specie, and
absorbs almost all that the resources
of the Union can be reasonably ex
pected to produce. By to-day’s state
ment of the Treasury there were $78,-
000,000 iu gold in the hands of the
Government, of which $23,000,000 were
deposited on certificate, leaving a bal
ance of $55,000,000, which is just
enough to cover the bonds called in
and the May interest. If to these nat
ural circumstances of tho case are
added the strong gambling proclivities
of the community, the prevailing prac
tices of selling short and borrowing
gold, and the reckless way in which all
business is carried on, the fact of gold
not having long ago risen much be
yond its present quotation becomes a
matter of surprise. It cannot help go
ing up to 20 per cent, premium, that is
to say, to about the same level upon
which it stands in. the empires of Alex
ander and Francis Joseph.
Basing themselves upon these general
considerations, a number of men, head
ed by Drew and Robinson, organized a
pool, bought and locked up about six
or seven millions of gold coin in their
safes, and are quietly waiting till it
goes up. The foreign bills are to be
r aid somehow, the Custom House du
ties take daily about half a million, and
the banks have all of them not more
than a million or two in their vaults.
It might be supposed that merchants
would begin borrowing gold from Eng
land, but the moment a movement of
this sort begins, the Bank of England
will raise its rate, and render exporta
tions of metal impracticable. Resides,
England holds no end of American
bonds, and when asked to lend gold,
she will send out these bonds instead
of metal. The gold pool thus antici
pates that its success is assured, and
argues that the higher the gold be,
the more greenbacks the foreign mer
chant will obtain for his -sovereigns
and the more willingly he will come to
this market. They propose thus to fill
their own pockets and to confer a bles
sing on the country. That is an illu
sion, but illusions are such pretty
things that it is a pity to destroy them,
especially at a time when they aro so
rarely to be met with.
Brigham Young is able to sit up iu
bed and eat spoon victuals. It must
be terrible to be sick and have forty or

them in the will, and not have strength
