THURSDAY, Signs ol The Tib. Calculating that tiie Silver Bin ® I will certainly become law, there is certainly basis fur congratulation. There id a faint hope that the cancer, but slightly rooted in the corpus of our government has been checked and in future may be prevented from distroying the American Repub lic. Our statesmen have more to fear from the national, state and municipal indebtedness, than anj 7 ton other tilings combined- These debts necessarily produce heavy tax ation. Of all the governments of the eaith no one is as much endan gered by heavy taxation as ours. The late internecine war added much to our woes in this regard. And just now is the time to check the increase of these woes. This and former in debtedness have produced a class who are living on the funded debt of the government. It was truly said by Lord Chatham when this same trouble began in England, that ‘•When the funds are falling, we may be sure the country is rising.” Can we not consider the converse of this proposition true? Is it not an absolute fact that the funds have been going up and the country go ng down? We are told that there are “four hundred thousand very rich men in this country, who largely acquired their wealth by Credit Mobeher schemes and kindred iniquities” It is charged that they are waiving on and rapidly destroying the produc ing interests and the middle classes. This should not, be, and we hope the charge grows out of the fact that the industries of the country are puralized, and that in the absence of a better cause, the above is as sumed. It were not so important to warn against such a course in a government like Rome or England, as in a republic like ouis. Yet we learn from history that such things contributed largely to Rome’s and nvn fa 1. Ours is a nicely balanced sys tem, worked by public opinion, and is constitilted to reflect the interests and the feelings of the people, whose Si use is taken by parts in such a manner as to obtain every possible security in self-interest for the ex pression of just and sound sentiment. This being the ease there can be no class to hold a disputed mastery over all the others, as is the ease in England. Now the signs of the times in licate the supremacy, or attempted supremacy of a class of fund holders, sometimes called “bloated bondholders.” Wh n they succeed as they are attempting,to se cure a mortgage on the future labor and productive industry of the United States, they will work the machin ery of currency, hold the very sinews of motion in Government, and not only control the value of currency, but will control the entire credit of the country. For three months the elements m C ingress have been warring and the result is the restora tion of the old Constitutional dollar, with limited coinage. Iu this connection another feature presents itself. We all know that an individual, may die and be thou sands or millions in debt. His pos terity are not responsible for one cent of that indebtedness. But it is different with the State and the General Government, municipal or railroad corporations. When debts are created by borrowing mon ey and issuing bonds to be paid in the iuture, with exorbitant interest, we do posterity an injustice. When we consider that the national wealth, only averages about three per cent per annum, while the increase of population is about the same, any interest above three per cent, will be exorbitant. It is said that the total of any given sum at the end of one hundred years (interest being added to the principal annually) at four per rent would he nearly three times as much as at three per cent ; at five percent, more than six times; at six per cent, more than eighteen times, and at ten percent more than seven hundred and tvvent} r five times as much as it would be at th rco. per cent. The American people should con sider well these questions. Much of future success, safety and pros perity depend upon them. I he business of the Louisiana (Jus tom House lias b en in a deplorable condition. The office since Ander sous arrest and conviction has had no head. The .Se o ite af ter having the nomination for Wil liamson for collector beftre it a month has rejected him. General And l'son was the nominal head and it is sated taut the Sheriff carries him from jail to the Custom House for an hour each day in order to a low him to sign the official pa pers. the Army of Ten lessee. eceipl of the prospectus iblication to be started shville Tennesse and to be The Annals of the Army lessee, and Early Western /.” We most heartily endorse otives which prompt the publi nof such a monthly magazine. y are to be commended by every - athernor who feels that the history of Southern achievements should be correctly recorded for the benefit of the future historian. When the men living who participated in the battles of the late war, die the chances for obtaining the truth and the facts so far as the South is concerned will be gotie. The purpose ol the publican tion is to obtain these facts, now from the living and record them for the future historian. It is well known that the North has produced several volumes. They tell the story as the other side would have it told We need to haye the story told from our stand point and by ourselves. We are told tnat the captured archi ves are under lock and key at Wash ington, and no Confederate soldier or writer will ever have access to them. Such requests have been uniformly and firmly denied. This “Archive Bureau” recently applied to the Southern Historical Society for some of its manuscripts, and the courtesy was granted, on the condition that it was reciprocated at Washington; the proposition was refused, showing the jealous care with which the Confed erate records are guarded from pub lic scrutiny. All of these things strongly illustrate our pove"ty in the way of available historical material. They further demonstrate a most important fact: That the Story of our achievements to a great extent, exists only in the memories of the living actors. Thus we see the peril we are in, of “haying taken from us even that we have.” The North has told its story, and if we let slip the opportunity of using our living witnesses, the future will most cer tainly give judgment against us. Tlie Magazine will contain for the present forty-eight pages of reading matter. Terms, Two Dollars a year, in ad vance.

Dhake, Favetteyille, Tennessee. February 13, 1878. Senator Hill’s Speech. M e published lait week Mr. Hills Speech, because he said, the news papers would not publish his speech and; si tion. We certainly never intended to misrepresent any public man. We have our opinions and we al ways express the n, no matter with whom they agree or differ. So far as the Bland Silver bill was con cerned lie was opposed to the unlim ited coinage of silver. We have not been and are not opposed to it. He says unlimited coinage will flood the country witli silver and drive gold from us. Suihis not the result of free coinage heretofore and the past is said to be a good crit lion by which to judge the future. But the country has been surfeited with the gas ab rnt silver and gold. We have given you his speech and you have doubtless read it and ei ther agree or disagree with him. The House accepted the Senate amendments and the bill now goes to the President. See the lull text of the bill on our first page. Largest Organ in America. The largest organ in America is now being put up in Music Hall at Cincinnati, Ohio. It ranks with the largest in the world. It lias 6.2 )7 ppes, while the Boston Music Hall organ has only 5,474 pipes, the Boston Cathedral organ 5,294 pipes and Brooklyn Plymouth Church or gan 5,231 pipes. It is seventy-five feet high fifty feet wide and thirty feet deep. A hydraulic motor of fifte n horse power will be employed to op erate the five bellows, which set the air in f o a musical tremor equally in the hugest and the most diminutive p pes. It will bo up and ready for use without some unaccountable de lay, by the first of May. Texas Pacific. For some months the question of a'd by the General Government to the Texas Pacific Railroad has been ag hating Congress. The Senate and House committees have been hearing those who have been pleased to in terest themselves in the matter. Ex- Govcvnor Brown, Vice President ol the road concluded the argument be fore the Senate Committee last Fri day. 1 he cassis now closed before the Committees and their action is await ed. Governor Brown we are inform ed by tl'.c associated press examined in detail the various bills before the committees, The sacred conclave chose a pope last week to succeed Pio N mo. Car dinal Pecri was the man. It is left to the Pope to choose his tittle and thee new Pope takes, name of. Leo XIII., JJe is G 8 years old, and is classed among the liberals. Fine diplomatic powers are claimed- for him and his private life is said ftp be adove reproach. As Prince Bis marck threatened to take active meas ures against the papal power if an irreconcilable should be elected the result will doubtless contribute to the peace of Europe. The capacity of the mint now agitates the public mind. The Di rector of the mint in his last report said the mint was able to coin about two millions a month without inter fering with the gold and fractional silver coinage. Mr. Kelley of Penn sylvania who served a long time on the Committee on Coinage thinks the mints can coin four millions a month without interfering with gold or frac tional silver. Under the section, 1,455 of the Code, a petition has been sent to the Ordinary of Richmond county to or der an election to be held, in which the ballot will be east for “Fence” or “No Fence. \ The time is coming when there will be no fence voted and the sooner the better, espec ially when labor will not keep up fences. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. It is stated in St. Petersburg that the British Government, having re fused to withdraw the fleet to Bessi ka Bay, Russians are likely to oceu - py Constantinople. The conviction prevails in Berlin that the military and court parties at Vienna will induce the Emperor to settle amicably with Russia, notwith standing the prepossessions of the Hungarians. Russia’s relations with Roumania are said to be exceedingly awkward, but the government shows no signs of receding from her demand for the retrocssion of Bessarabia. Official notice has been given that the prohibition of the export of grain, etc., from the Black sea porta has been raised, but the torpedoes ha\e not yet been removed. An officer of the English Horse Guards arrived at Bristol to purchase five thousand horses for the War Office. This is a part of a purchase of twenty-one thousand horses which has been ordered. The English Government has pur chased another ironclad built for Turkey. It mounts ten twelve ton guns. Pope Leo XIII. held a congrega tion of Cardinals and announced that an encycl'cal letter would bo imme diately dispatched to the Catholic world announcing his accession. It is announced that the new Pope will continue the policy of his pre decessor. In the Senate a bill was introduced and referred to the Military Commit tee to provide for the building of a military post for the protection of citizens of the Black Hills. A bill to authorize the payment of the balance due the Paeilic Mail Steamship Company was referred to 'the Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads. The sub-committee of seven on the Texas and Pacific Railroads will giv’i no formal expression of opinion. There ceriainly will be two, and pro bably three, reports and bills which the committee will ask leave to phut. The Senate rejected the nomina tion of Williamson, as Collector of New Orleans, by a vote of thirty seven to fifteen. The silver bill passed the House as it came from the Senate, and goes to the President. Prince Bismarck considers Cardi nal Pecci’s election to the Papacy as the most suitable that could tie made at the present time. The negotiations between England and Russia have resulted in an un derstanding that Russia will not oc cupy any portion of the peninsular of Gallipoli, the Boulair lines or the Asiatic side of the Dardanelles, Eng land undertaking not to land troops at Gallipoli or the Asiatic side of the Dardanelles. The military Committee devoted two hours in hearing Adjutant Gen eral Townsend in regard to his depart ment in the lino of an investigation looking to a reduction of the army. Robert McEveu, the notorious criminal who killed his benefactor, Colonel Win Gregg of Augusta, Ga, at Gruuiivilie Factory, three years ag , has been sentenced to be banged on the 15th of March, at Aiken, 8 & C.

UOXURESS. The Postmaster-General appointed : and commissioned Jos. Blackfan, Superintendent of Foreign Mails and J. N. Tyner, First Assistant Post master-General, Commissioners on the part of the United States to the General Postal Convention, to be held at Paris on the Ist )f May next. The German press cmdiallv hail the appointment of B; yard Taylor as United States Minist.T to Genua- After considerable debate in the Senate upon the subject of restoring the franking privilege to member.- of Congress a vote was taken and the amendment to that effect to Mr. Ferry’s postmasiers compensation bill was adopted by a vote of 32 ayes to 21 nays. 'This restores the right of franking all mail matter. —lll response to an inquiry from the House of Representatives the Secre tary of War stales that three persons have been appointed to the army who had been in the military service of the Confederate States namely, J. Deß. W. Gardiner and Wm. B. Da vis appointed assistant surgeons by the last administration, and Thos. Mosher, Jr., appointed second lieu tenant of infantry by President Hay -63. The House passed a bill reported from the Judiciary Commit tee allowing women who have prac ticed three years before any Court in the several States or District of Columbia to appear before the Uni ted states Supreme Court. Secretary Thompson made the re markable statement to a member of Congress, who called at the Navy Department that, the accounts of the department showed for the first three months of the present fiscal year a net expenditure less, by the sum of two millions ot dollars than the usual expenditures of the depar tment during the years when Robe son was in power. This rednetion was not the result of decreased ap propriations for the Secretary states tnat be has obtained fully as much for his money as Robeson obtained for the increased number of millions which be expended. The difference of two millions of dollars represents the waste and robbery which went on during Robeson’s legime. At this rate the Navy Department will cost seven or eight millions less ar uually than during the time of Grants reign while the service will be fully as extensive as it was during that time and much more efficient. In the House, the Senate amend ments to the Silver bill came up for action. Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, was recognized as having charge of the matter, and lie moved to concur in all the amendments. A point of order that the Senate amendment* appropriated money, and- must therefore, be considered in a Com mittee of the whole, was discussed for two hours; and was finally over ruled by the Speaker, Then the previous question was seconded, and Stephens had, under the rules, an hour to close the discussion. This time (reserving but three minutes for himself) he parcelled out among members in allowances of from one lialf a minute to eight minutes: and when tho discussion was over a mo tion to lay the bill on t ie tublo made by Hewitt, of New York. Mid rejected—years, 74; nays, 202. Then the Senate amendments were several ly concurred in by about a like vote, and thus the bill finally passed, and now goes to the President for his ap proval.

NUMBER ONE. “Thou shalt have no other gods be fore me.” Jehovah designed to descend upon Sinais lofty summit, and amid the thunders roar and li'dituiugs flash pro mulgated through his servant,Moses the Decalogue; that code of moral laws, in tended for his chosen people the chib dren of Israel, and after the sacrifice of the great offering—Jesus Christ—for all who desire an inheritance in the ly Canaan. The words here quoted from the first commandment, which aside from the peculiar circumstances under which they were uttered, were the divine im press of the great I Am. The positive ness here expressed is characteristic of the inspired writings throughout; for in them we fiud no other than impera tive order.-; not that we may or may not; but that we shall, or shall not; this together with the sublimity of thought and grandeur of style serves to prove their authenticity and the sover eign will and power of God. The recognition of the one Supreme B: ing, and one alone, is the basis ol true religion; remove t his basis and re ligion with its principles and doctrines is re bleed to a level with heathenish myths. This assertion is , LM to suppose that a fabrication however well constructed could staud after hav ing its foundation sapped and under mined. It is not only necessary to have faith in the existence of God, but there must be no other gods before him, or we cannot have that hope which is founded in the merits of a crucified and risen Redeem er. The words “I am a jealous God,’’ are in themselves of mighty import and warn us of the danger consequent upon halting between two opinions, and also evidence that they who would be truly religious must unconditionally surren • der the heart to God. lie must have the preference or we cannot enjoy the tranquility and happiness that com fort the true Christian in his earthly pilgrimage. Other gods beside the eternal I Am, have existed ever since the fate of our first parents; exist now, and will exist until the angel shall “appear and stand ag with one foot upon the land and the other upou the sea declare that time sh ill be no more. ” Israel even dared, while their great law-giver and leader Moses was on the mouutand received from God the law and testimony upon the stone tables, to rear the golden calf and bowing to it with shouts of praise and with timbrel and harp worshipped the sordid dust; and to it returned thanks for tlieir deliverance from the armed hosts of Egypt. Aaron the high priest of the most High God condescended to olßciate in his sacerdo* tal robes at the ottering of sacrific s and incense, the smoke of which ascend ed to heaven in solemn mockery of the true God. From the long lists of Roman and Grecian deities, we find that man in all stages of the world, has been prone to woiship false gods. Though the Gre cians, Romans and all contemporaneous nations h ive passed away, and now on ly exist in the pages of profane history; the principles of idolatrous worship fos tered by them, are yet perpetuated by modern heathenism. May God speed the day when by the dissemination of Christs doctrines this black cloud shall be scattered and instead beam the bright sunshine of Gods promise to man. “There is a pla;e, a holy place above. Where Anjeln holy dwell in light and love; There is a God, a Holy God who reigns, And holy empire over all maintains.” NEW AD VERT isFMENTS. Strtiyed..
