Oleomargarine.
1x8 Cheat Value and Excellence
as Food.
The New York legislature is discussing
the comparative merits of butter manufac
tured in the ordinary way by the agitation
of cow’s milk, and the new substance sold
in the markets under the name of oleo
margarine. An elaborate argument has
been had before the committee on agricul
ture in the Senate, in which the advocates
of beef suet as a substitute for butter ap
pear to have more than held their own.
It was demonstrated from the highest
medical and scientific authorities that it is
equally nutritious as the best butter,
keeps better, and is freer from those ele
ments which engender rancidity and cor
ruption in the products of the dairy.
Mr. Wilson said: “I will put it side by
side with your dairy butter, and your best
experts cannot tell which is oleomargarine
butter and which dairy butter. Two
years ago, at the International Dairy Fair,
we offered a reward of $50 a tub to any
person who could detect our butter and
distinguish it from dairy butler; and, al
though there were numerous candidates
for the prize, there were none to claim the
reward.
«Mr. Chairman, we have been living
for years under the idea that we could
only get the food product called butter by
the old system of agitating cow’s milk.
And when Professor Arnold, the secretary
of the Dairy Association of the United
States, confesses that out of the 800,000,-
000 pounds ol butter made from this
source in 1878 only five per centum of it
was a perfect article of food, while 05 per
centum of it was not fit for human food,
should we not be grateful to the Over
ruling Power that put it into the head
of the French philosopher andpliilanthro-'
pist Mege to discover a new method which
at once renders it unnecessary to manu
facture impure butter, and allows the calf
to take its mother's milk as was designed
by nature. Mr. Curtis, the president of
the Dairy Association, found fault with
the secretary for telling too much truth,
and attempts to explain away Professor
Arnold’s admissions by alleging that at
least from twenty-five to fifty per centum
of the butter product of the country is a
good food product. Grant all that Presi
dent Curtis claims, and what then ? We
still have offered to the public 400,000,-
000 pounds of impure and decomposing
food in the f orm of the dairy butter pro
duct of the country.
“Man requires animal food, rnd he re
quires fat. Now, butter is fat; and if we
have discovered that we can get this fat
cheaper for the masses and better than by
the old dairy system, ought not this new
food product to be esteemed as a blessing
to the human race? The average steer
will weigh eight hundred pounds. Of
this, from ouc-eigblh to one-tenth is fat,
given it to keep up the heat of the body
and sustain life. Now the human system
requires about three-quarters of a pound
of meat where it requires one-quarter of a
pound of fat to sustain life and give it
health; which is about the proportion
found in the perfectly healthful animal de
signed for the food of man. What is this
food—this eight hundred million pounds
of fat? What is it? Will any man here
who lives by selling dairy butter pretend
to tell'ine that he dares to submit liis but
ter to the same severe chemical and scien
tific tests to which the oleomargarine oil
and butter have been triumphantly sub
jected, as is fully shown in the pamphlet
which I hold in my hand ? There is only
about five to seven per centum of butter
that is pure when it comes in the New
York market.
“Dairymen may as well possess their
souls in patience. If they (the oleomar
garine manufacturers) can make a good
article, that is really palatable and whole
some, it will be a blessing—a real god
send—not only to the poor classes but to
the dairymen themselves. It will prevent
the manufacture of thousands of pounds
of bad butter now made that is not fit to
throw to the dogs. In this way it will
encourage the making of fust-class butter,
and thus it will be a blessing to dairymen.
Though there may be millions of pounds'
of butter made from caul fat, it will not
materially affect the price of really good
butter; if it does at all, the effect will be
but small. There will always be a mar
ket in England and European countries
for a first-class article of butter."
In corroboration of these views, Prof.
Chandler, in his letter to Mr. Wise, chair
man of the congressional committee on
manufactures, less than twojmonths ago,
said that he has “studied the subject with
special reference to the question of its use
as food, in comparison with the ordinary
butter made from cream,” and he believes
it to be “quite as valuable as the butter
from the cow;” that the “material from
which it is manufactured is perfectly fresh
beef suet; that the processes are harmless;
that the manufacture is conducted with
great cleanliness. The product is palata
ble and wholesome, and I regard it as a
most valuable article of food, and consider
the discovery of Mege Mouries as mark
ing an area in the chemistry of the fats.”
Frof. Chandler furthermore asserts that in
the opinion of the board of health “there
is no sanitary objection whatever to the
unrestricted manufacture and sale of this
substance.”
No less authorities than Dr. Henry A.
Mott, Jr., of New York; Prof. Caldwell,
of Cornell University; Prof. S. W. John
son, of Yale College; Prof. J. W. S. Ar
nold, of the Medical College ofNew York,
and many others whose names might be
mentioned, of tho most erudite chemists
and tacans of the country, endorse the
use of oleomargarine, and pronounce it
equal to the dairy butter of commerce,
while the percentage that is spoiled and
unwholesome, is far less. The article is
coming into general use, and large quan
tities are daily disposed of in the city of
Macon.
We have not heard, however, of any at
tempt on the part of our dealers to palm
it off upon their customers for genuine
butter, and some of them refuse to handle
it at all. But, doubtless, many a family
have buttered their bread with oleomarga
rine, and eqjoycd it to the full as much as
though it had been churned amid the
clover fields of Orange county, New York.
“Where ignorance is bliss, ’tis lolly to be
wise.” But the commodity should be
sold for what it really is.
Chop Outlook in Ohio.—The Leader
published on Saturday comprehensive
crop reports gathered from nearly 150
points in Ohio and Pennsylvania, em
bracing C5 counties, showing an acreage
of wheat about fifteen per cent, greater
than last year. The crop i4 in fine condi
tion, promising a large yield. Potatoes
are nearly all planted. The acreage is
comparatively large, but there are strong
indications of ravages by the beetle.
Oats are suffering for want of rain, and
will be short. The corn acreage js about
the average. The prospects are fair.
Fruit, except a small amount on bottom
land, was uninjured by frost, and the
yield will be ample for home consump
tion. Farmers report themselves satisfied
With the outlook.
—The New York Herald surrenders to
the third term thus: Whether for good
or for evil the most illustrious soldier in
the great war for the preservation of the
Union is certain to be nominated at Chi
cago, and there is a preponderance of
chances in favor of his election. Such
being tho prospect the country must make
the best of it. It will not do to despair
of our institutions in consequence of the
temporary, accidents of politics.
It is Well.—It is well, so says the
Sun, that Grant should be nominated.
That great journal, the New York Times,
for once in the lamentable condition of
advocating the wrong side, deems bis
nomination a moral certainty. And for
out own part we have been very much
inclined to think that, in spite of all the
ciphering which figured him out of the
race, the immense amount of money put
up in his behalf would make him the lie-
publican candidate.
A Few Notes on Cumberland.
Having written you a letter or so on the
doings of our party, I shall in this letter
give you a description of Cumberland Is
land itself.
Cumberland Island proper is about
twenty miles in length with an average
breadth of two miles. It has every varie
ty of soil and yields well with but little
cultivation. Bunkley’s house, where we
are stopping, is on the north end of the
island and upon the banks of an inlet
some hundred and fifty yards wide,
which winds in from the sea, and
after a devious course of six miles finds
its wav out again. The land on the other
side of this inlet i3 called Little Cumber
land, and, with the exception of its north
ern end, is subject to overflow when the
tides are high. The place at which we
arc staying (Bunkley’s) will accommo
date about one hundred people by crowd
ing a little. A fine breeze is felt all the
time from the sea, and I have not heard a
mosquito or seen a sand fly since my ar
rival. The board is good, and while ev
erything is plain, the food is well cooked
and neatly served. It is just such a place
as one likes to come to and do as he
pleases.
The beach at Cumberland Island is said
to be the finest in the world. It is a hun
dred yards in width, and..the ground slopes
off into the ocean so gradually as to ren
der bathing perfectly safe. This beach is
eighteen miles in length, and would make
a splendid drive if we had fast horses here,
Near the Atlantic coast, and about three
miles from Bunkley’s, are sundry lakes
where fine alligator aud bird shooting can
be had. The island itself abounds in game
of every description, and deer are plenti
ful. For the benefit of those who
do not care to walk, the house affords
tackies and boats at a moderate figure.
Our own party has no difficulty in finding
amusements: surf-batliing, dancing, hunt
ing, boat rides, buggy rides, tatget shoot
ing and fishing fillup the day. At night,
dancing and singing are the popular styles
of amnsement.
The weather, since our arrival here, has
not been given a thought. A fine breeze
is felt all day long, and at night, and no
heat.
I have not yet been down to Dungeness
or upon a bird shooting expedition. I am
told tliat the sport in the latter line is
very fine. To-morrow morning the party
goes to Dungeness, of which place I will
send you a full description as soon as we
return.
Such, in short, is Cumberland. A place
to come and enjoy yourself in a quiet
way, and a place at which you acquire an
enormous appetite and enjoy life. You
need not look for fashion of any sort here;
fashion has no rule in these parts. You
dress as you please and do as you please;
’tis allowed you always, and few hesitate
to avail themselves of the privilege. Good
board can be had at Bunkley’s 'for $7.00
per week or $1.50 per day.

—'The Herald says: “We have no long
er any doubt that Gen. Grant will be tri
umphantly nominated at Chicago on the
first ballot, because, as soon as his nomi
nation is seen to be inevitable, there will
he a rush to the victorious side.
—An enterpiising_ member of the St.
Louis Dental Association has discovered
that George Washington wore a set of
false teeth that cost him $500, though a
much better set can now be had for $15.
The teeth were made of ivory blocks, set
on a gold plate.
—The Duchess Pauline of Wurtem-'
burg, who has just married a Breslau phy
sician, is 26 years old. She has renounced
the title and position of a princess of the
royal house and has assumed the name of
“Von Kiebacli.” She is the youngest
daughter of the late Duke Eugene.
—Says the South Bend (Ind.) Tribune:
“A Mr. James II. Gallup was married to
a Miss Emma Canter in Grand Bapids on
Wednesday. It is safe to say that after
walking down the matrimonial road a few
months they will have a little trotting
to do.”
—Co7. M. C. Gallaway, of the Memphis
Appeal, has published a card declining to
be a candidate for the democratic nomi
nation for Governor of that State. He
says that he has never been a candidate
for office, and it is too late in life for him
to aspire to a position unsuited to his
taste, and which he has no capacity either
to acquire or to fill.
The announcement is made in the news
papers that Lady Thornton has taken a
stand in Washington against the style of
writing up social entertainments indulged
in by some newspapers. She says that no
one shall publish a description of a lady’s
dress worn at any of her parties, under
pain of being denied the opportunity of
doing so-the second time.
Will be a Candidate Again.—It
is said that Hon. John C. Nicholls has
reconsidered his determination to retire
from politics, and will again appear be
fore the convention of the first Congres
sional district as a candidate for re-nomi
nation. Colonel Nicholls has faithfully
and diligently represented the' people of
his district.
A Proposed New State.—New York
city is again talking about seceding front
New York State, and a political reform
society has been organized to bring the
matter before the people in a public ad
dress. The proposed new State would lie
composed of the counties of New York,
Westchester and Richmond, together with
Long Island, which have more than half
the population of the State.
Senator Gordon.—The Philadelphia
Times says the voluntary surrender of an
exalted public tmst by one who is in the
prime of life and in fulf possession of po
litical influence is a thing so remarkable
that it is almost a nine days’ wonder.
Senator Gordon, of Geoigia, has not only
done this, but he has thrown away nearly
two-thirds of a Senatorial term in Ids im
patience to return to private life.
There are many reasons why it is desi
rable that he should be nominated. It
will put the third-term and imperialism
thoroughly to the test. The defeat of
Grant—which we regard as morally cer
tain-will put an end to third-termism for
a century to come.
Then nominate Grant!
Let him be put up and knocked down
The country will breathe more freely
after the interesting performance.
—Mr. Hayes will now have an oppor
tunity to show whether he vetoed the bill
with the marshals’ rider because he was
opposed to riders or because he was op
posed to yielding a party advantage. The
Bayard marshal bill presents substantial
ly the same question with the rider feat
ure out. The Republican party have
shown by their opposition that they are
determined to yield no means of possible
partisan control.
The Republican party, says the Her
ald, of the South consists mainly of the
colored voters, who are unanimous and
enthusiastic admirers of Gen. Grant, and
almost worship him as their deliverer
from bondage. They are totally misrep
resented by the delegates wliieh Mr. Sher
man has secured through the office-hold
ing influence. They cannot be held for a
day after it is seen that Gen. Grant is cer
tain to be nominated.
—The late famous Rev. Dr. Macdonald
was crossing at Kessock on one of his fre
quent journeys. The day was very stormy
and there was difficulty ingettting the
boat across. An old woman, one of the
passengers, quoted the saying that “where
there were black coats there was always
had weather,” and asked the doctor if he
could give any reason for it. He answered
with habitual quickness that “ministers
are at war with Satan, and that he sup
posed the latter, as prince of the power of
tlie air, was at the bottom of the matter.”
Coming back some time aften the day be
ing fine, the old woman was there again,
and this time quietly remarked, to the dis
comfiture of the doctor, “I see you have
made your peace with the prince of the
power of the air.”

The Spontaneous Call for Grant.
The Spontaneous Gush fob Grant
and the Third Term
Resolves itself at last into as fiercely
contested a fight for the nomination as has
ever been displayed on the American
boards. Grant will be nominated next
Wednesday at Chicago on the first ballot;
but that result will be due to the sharpest
and sternest prearrangements—to methods
which hare silenced and smothered the
popular will—in a word, to a packed con
tention.
Judge Curtis, in Harper's Weekly,
charges that the intelligent Republicans
of the Empire State have been practically
disfranchised, and there is no room for
candid doubt tliat by snap judgment and
stocking county meetings the same tiling
has been done in Pennsylvania. In Illi
nois, Farwell, tlie-diairraan of the Blaine
men, issues the following address:
Springfield^ May 21, 18S0.—To the
Republicans of Illinois: By the personal
and desperate exertions of Senator Logan,
of the commission of internal revenue, and
liis collectors, and by the disgraceful in
terference of national officials in prima
ries and county conventions,_ Gen. Grant
has apparently carried Illinois by the con
temptible majority of thirty-eight, with
Cook county unrepresented. If the whole
ninety-two delegates of Cook county had
been admitted the vote would have been
fifty-four against Grant. If the fifty-six
uncontesteu delegates from Cook county
had been allowed to vote there would
have been eighteen majority against Grant.
The convention was packed from its or
ganization. The chairman was ordered
to recognize only certain persons. De
bate was cut oil', and parliamentary law
neglected or overruled as the exigency re
quired. IVhat is so meagre a majority in
his own State worth to General Grant?
The anti-Grant districts have appointed
delegates and will present them at Chica
go. Logan and Garcelon stand as the
political burglars of the time, and Logan’s
crime against liberty will, in the end,
bring him no more spoil than was won by
Garcelon. C. B. Farwell.
As in these three States, so in others.
In point of sober fact, not half of the so-
called Republican party demand a third
term; and, with equal truth, not twenty-
five per cent, of the American voting
force. And yet we have not a doubt tliat
more than ninety per cent, of the Repub
lican opponents of the third term will go
over at once to the support of Grant, and
ninety per cent, of the remainder will fol
low suit during the canvass, aud take Grant
“as a choice of evils” against a Democratic
succession. Add to these a personal mili
tary glory, and anti-Southern following,
and a dangerous crowd will be collected.
We have no doubt that the general anti-
third term sentiment of the people will
assert itself, and shelve this movement, if
a good opportunity of doing it is presented
by the Democrats at Cincinnati. Wliat
is necessary to afford such an opportunity ?
Very evidently these points: First, a nom
inee able to command the entire Demo
cratic vote of the country, and coming be
fore the people with the full prestige of
Democratic strength. Americans outside
of the old standbys have an awful horror
of defeat, or of voting for a candidate
strongly threatened with defeat. There
fore it will not do to risk party impres
sions on this point. Second, the candidate
should have a personal and political record
unassailable on the score of national pa
triotism. Third, he should have, as far
as possible, the confidence and good opin
ion of the country. Wherever known,
he should be known as a prudent, con
servative, reliable man, and by no means
specially objectionable to that class of
men on the other side. We believe that
with such a man enough of the anti-third
term opinion of the country could be ral
lied to whip the fight.
“Don’t Give up the Ship.”
As it is pretty well understood that
Congress canuot adjourn on the first of
June, but in the opinion of Mr. A. H. Ste
phens, will protract its sittings into July,
is it not meet anu proper that another sut
preme effort should be made to resurrect
several tariff reforms which undoubtedly
meet the approval of a decided majority of
the people’s representatives ?
Prominent among these is the duty
upon salt, and the onerous impositions
upon the intelligence of the country in
the shape of the tax upon wood pulp,
chemicals, type and other printing mate
rials. The oft repeated charge that the
only reason why the latter is not either
repealed or greatly modified, grows out
of the fact that some of tho members of
the committee on ways and means are
directly interested in maintaining the
excises Personal and private spec
ulations and emoluments ought not to he
permitted to override the public interests.
The repeal of the duty on paper and other
printing material is demanded by every
consideration of justice, and a due regard
to the welfare of the whole tax-paying
community.
The Press Association of Georgia spoke
out in no uncertain language on this sub
ject at its late annual convention,. and
similiar action has been taken in almost
every State of the Union. Indeed, never
before has an issue been presented to the
country where public opinion was so one
sided and uuanimous. Even the protec
tionists of the North and East, where not
personally interested, are clamoring for
the repeal of this section in the present
tariff.- A majority of Congress, too, are
ready to strike out these oppressive duties,
and the obstinate and interested opposition
of the committee to whom has been re-
ferred the management of tho matter is
the only obstacle to the success of the
movement
We trust our representatives in Con
gress will not relax their efforts for an in
stant until they have accomplished this
greatly needed modification of an unjust
and partial high protective tariff.
A Goodly Land.—It i3 said that in
the northern portion of Dakota and Min
nesota, no less than forty millions acres of
fertile soil adapted to the growth of the
cereals, may be found, nearly all of
which is one widely extended grassy plain,
ready for the ploughshare and arable.
This region is also easy of access by
rail, and it is estimated that if even one-
fourth of the above area now lying waste
could be brought into cultivation, at the
moderate yield of twenty bushels per
acre, the enormous aggregate of 200,000,-
000 bushels of wheat would be pro
duced.
Who, then,.can assign any limit to the
bread-producing regions of the United
States ? If properly developed, this coun
try alone could furnish food for the entire
civilized world.
Is there any wonder, then, that the
crowded population of Europe and Asia,
ground into powder by excessive taxation,
"deprived of personal liberty by military
conscription, oppressed by merciless land
lords for exorbitant rents, and scantily
supplied with food and raiment, should
emigrate by hundreds of thousands to this
heaven-favored country ? Yerily, ours is
a goodly heritage and a land flowing with
milk and honey.
A Word in Season.
There are ominous signs that trouble is
brewing in the Democratic camp. The
contest for Governor, United States Sena
tor, members of Congress and the general
assembly, promises to be bitter beyond all
precedent. And yet the candidates all
belong to the same party organization, and
profess to be equally anxious for the de
feat of the common Radical enemy. This
is to a certain extent the legitimate out
growth of the existence practically of hut
one party among the whites of the South.
With no rival, as in the times of Whig and
Democrat, to keep them en yarde and on
their good behavior, the Democracy are
quarreling among themselves, and split
ting up into factions, each following its
own leader. Recriminations and personal
animadversions are the order of tho
day, and there is little prospect
of harmony. In this exigency it becomes
every true patriot to cling more
tenaciously than ever to the principles aud
usages of the party. Clearly expressed ma
jorities should rule in every instance, aud
the first resolution that ought to be adopt
ed in all primary meetings and conven
tions, should be an unqualified pledge
from all who participate therein, to be
bound by the result of their delibera
tions. Otherwise these gatherings possess
no anore significance than the “whistling
wind.” Every intelligent voter should
calmly survey the field and without hasie
or passion, form his own cpnclusions as to
the worth and reliability of tho men who
ask his support. Abuse and vituperation
are not arguments, and should never he
indulged in even against open enemies.
Seek for the truth and nothing hut the
truth, and always be open to conviction if
in error. Verbumsat.
A Washington special to the Balti
more Gazette, says: “The interest in the
Chicago convention i3 becoming absorb
ing. Grant’s success in Illinois and Ala
bama has been received here as an assu
rance of his nomination.
Blaine said this morning that he had
never in any of his calculations thought
of doing anything else w T ith the Illinois
delegation but to put them down for
Grant, and he talks cheerily about the sit
uation and thinks that he will be nomi
nated, but the almost universal opinion
outside of the adherents of the different
candidates is that Grant’s nomination is
now certain. The Sherman delegates in
the South will go over to Grant when he
develops strength such as he must do at
once, and Cameron now claims that
Grant will get 470 votes on the
first ballot and will be nominated
before Pennsylvania is called. The
statement that Edmunds has pronounced
for Graut is now' fully confirmed, and
all of his delegates who are influenced by
him will vote for the ex-President. It is
upon that assurance from Edmudds that
Cameron makes up his latest figures, and
the sharp turn of the third-term people in
putting up Windoin cheats Blaine out of
the votes of that State. Everything now
points conclusively to a Grant victory at
Chicago, although Secretary Sherman
said this morning that Grant would lack
a good many votes of a majority on the
first ballot. Sherman claims 273 votes
and is, or pretends to be remarkably san
guine as to the result.”
The Sunny South.—This literary se
rial has earned a widely extended and
deserved reputation. It cannot be called
the peer, for it is unquestionably the su
perior, of any similar publication at the
South. Contending against fearful odds
in the pictorial productions ofNew York,
Boston and Philadelphia, all of them
backed by heavy capital and sustained
by a dense population, the Sunny Sovth
has yet more than held its own and
should find a place at every heartlistone
in Georgia. The last number is replete
with entertaining and useful articles. We
notice that the proprietors, in order to en
large the sphere and add to the attrac
tions of their popular journal, are offering
for sale an interest in the concern to
some capable and judicious partner, who
can take charge of the financial depart
ment of the paper. Doubtless there are
mauy who will be glad to embark in so
profitable and pleasant an enterprise.

Wise Words.—We clip the following
from the Christian Index, with a hearty
endorsement:
The people must sustain the law and its
officers, and withdraw their wretched and
sickly sympathies from evil doers. To be

and to relieve a man, or assist in relieving
him from tne just penalty of his crinies, is
another.

I Washington, May 24.—In the Senate,
on motion of Mr. Burnside, the resolution
j introduced by Mr. Carpenter, ii reference
to the Soldiers’ Horae, was so amended as
; to instruct the committee on military af-
1 fairs to make the investigation, and was
j then adopted.
j Mr. Eaton, from the committee on ap-
• propriations, reported the pensions de-
1 ticiency bill, and it was placed on the
calendar. •
Mr. Saulsbury, from the committee on
privileges and elections, reported ad
versely the bill to change the day for the
election of delegates and representatives
to Congress, and it was indefinitely post
poned.
On motion of Mr. Beck, the House hill
to amend the revenue laws, known as the
Carlisle bill, was taken up, and after some
discussion was read a third time and
passed.
The Senate then took up and passed a
number of pension bills which had been
favorably reported from the committees.
At the expiration of the morning hour,
the Senate resumed consideration of Mr.
Morgan’s joint resolution providing a rule
for counting the electoral votes.
Mr. Teller said the resolution was
plausible on its face, but not fair in fact.
The main principle of the measure was
bad. It was the first step towards an ar
rangement by which the two houses
should not only count votes returned, hut
go into the whole question of the qualifi
cation of electors and all facts connected
with the election. This, it seemed to him,
would be placing a dangerous power end
temptation in the hands of a politically di
vided body like Congress. He lielieved
the measure tended towanl confusion and
anarchy. He favored the adoption of
some measure providing for a fair count,
but he was opposed to any rule which
would take the decision upon the vote of
a State out of the State's own hands.
Mr. Ingalls also opposed the resolution.
He thought it insufficient, and favored a
constitutional amendment which would
have some binding force. The next dis
puted election, he said, would not be de
cided by a juggle or trick. It would be
settled by law or by force. He oflered an
amendment providing for the settlement
of a disputed election by a vote of the
House of Representatives, the representa
tives of each State in that body to have
one vote.
Mr. Conkling did not approve of Mr.
Ingalls’ amendment and said he should
vote against the pending resolution be
cause it was«unintelligible and could not
be carried out, or if carried out would en
able the political majority in Congress to
turn a close election either way.
Mr. Morgan defended his resolution
against Mr. Conkling’s criticisms.
Mr. Thurman favored the resolution,
but opposed Ingalls’ amendment, on the
ground that .the resolution was for count
ing the votes, not for electing a president..
Mr. Edmunds opposed the resolution
because it proposed to leave to the opinion
or judgment of Senators and Representa
tives the question whether the vote of a
State should be counted or not. This
would be a plain violation of the constitu
tion. The States must decide for them
selves as to whom they had voted for.
In the House, Mr. Stephens, of Georgia,
introduced a joint reolution authorizing
the secretary of war to furnish the Gate
City Guards, of Atlanta, Ga., with four
hundred tents on the occasion of the lay
ing oi the cornerstone of their memorial
armory, commemoiative of the re-union
of the States. Passed.
The morning hour having been dis
pensed with, Mr. Blount, of Geoigia, from
the appropriation committee, reported
back the sundry civil appropriation bill,
and after some debate, the House went
into committee of the whole thereupon.
The bill, after being explained by Mr.
Blount, was read by sections for amend
ment. There was some debate of the appro
priation for complet'on of public build
ings at Albany, N. Y-,Mr- Cook of Geor
gia, moving that the amount be reduced,
and Mr. Hooker, of Mississippi, that it
was not fair to appropriate large sums for
Albany and refuse to appropriate $100,000
for a building at Jackson, Miss.
Mr. Cook’s motion to amend hy reduc
ing the amount was rejected. MP?Hooker,
of Mississippi, continued his opposition to
the various clauses of the bill, raising
points of order, and offering amendments,
so that when the committee rose at five
o’clock, only five clauses relating to pub
lic buildings had been considered. The
House then took a recess until ten o’clock
to-morrow morning.
Washington, May 24.—The President
sent to the Senate to-day the nomination
of Jas. O. Putnam, of New Xork, to be
minister to Belgium, vice Win. C. Gooden,
resigned.
Washington, May 24—At the close
of Mr. Edmunds’ speech Mr. Ingalls with
drew his amendment and Mr. Edmunds
moved to substitute for the pending reso
lutions his own bill recently reported
adversely from the select committee.'*' Re
jected— aye3 (Republicans) 13; nays
(Democrats) 20.
Mr. Edmunds then moved to insert in
the Moigan resolution the second section
of his own bill, which provides that each
State may try and determine before the
time fixed for the meeting of its electors,
determining concerning their appointment,
and such determinations shall be conclu
sive evidence of the lawful title of the
electors, and shall govern in the counting
of the electoral votes. Rejected by a
party vote—yeas 14; nays 26.
Mr. Teller offered as an amendment
that nothing in this rule shall relate to
the number of votes on which the elector
lias been appointed. Rejected by a party
vote—yeas 13; nays 27. The resolution
was then passed—yeas 23; nays 14.
Mr. Bayard then moved to take up the
bill introduced by him, and reported fa
vorably from the judiciary committee, pro
viding that supervisors of elections shall
be appointed by the President, by and
with the consent of the Senate, and shall
serve two years, beginning in May of each
even-numbered year. The Republicans
filibustered to prevent action on Mr. Bay
ard’s motion until the Senate adjourned.
Washington, May 24.—Mr. Garfield
presented hi the House to-day a minority
report upon the tariff bills, recommending
as a substitute for pending tariff bills the
adoption of Senator Eaton’s tariff commis
sion bill. The report lakes tho view that
the present bills, while they might accom
plish some good, would result in far
greater evil, by destroying the adjustment
of the present tariff; that if there is any
tariff reform, it should be the result of
mature legislation, whereas the present
bills are crude, and contrary to all under
lying principles of tariff. The report main
tains that this principle h as been d isregard-
cd in fixing the duties on various articles;
books, periodicals, etc., arc placed on the
free list, while-all the numerous materials
of which they are composed are taxed,
thus making a direct discrimination
against American manufactures of type,,
paper and books. The most serious ob
jection is raised against the changes pro
posed in the duties on wolen
goods, the report claiming that
they will strike directly at one of
our greatest industries, and that the pro
posed reduction will make it impossible
for our farmers to raise sheep and produce
wool in competition with South American
wool, or for our manufacturers to compete
with those of foreign countries. The re
port is signed by Messrs. Garfield, Frye,
Kelley and Conger—four of the five Re
publican members of the ways and means
committee.
Washington, May 25.—The House
met at ten this morning. The interven
ing hour up to eleven o’clock belonging
technically to Monday’s session, that hour
was spent in the consideration of the sun
dry civil bill, all items lor public build
ings being disposed of as reported, and all
amendments for new buildings being
ruled out on points of order.
Ih the Senate, Mr. Withers moved to
postpone all prior orders and proceed to
consider the pension cases on the calen
dar.
Mr..Bayard stated that last night he
had moved to take up a bill of great im
portance to the public—the supervisors
bill—which he was unwilling to have dis
placed by any other business. The pres
ident pro tern, stated that Mr. Bayard’s
motion would come up as unfinished bus
iness at half-past one.
Mr. Edmunds hoped the chair would
not be too hasty in making up its deci
sion. The motion to take up the bill fell
with the adjournment and would have to
be renewed.
The president pro tem. hoped Mr. Ed
munds would point out his authority.
Mr. Edmunds said he had a good many
witnesses, and would have them sworn if
necessary. Mr. Withers motion was
agreed to.
Washington, D. O.. May 25.—The
President, pro tem, laid before the Senate
a communication from the secretary of
war, redoinmending the sale of the site
and buildings of the old military, post of
Savannah, known as the Oglethorpe bare
racks.
Mr. Jones, of Florida, from the commit
tee on public lands, reported favorably
the House bill to confirm certain entries
and warrant locations in the Pulaski mili
tary reservation, of Florida. Placed o:i
the calendar.
After the passage of a number of pen
sion bills, Mr. Windoin, from the appropri
ation committee, reported the agricultural
appropriation hill, and it was placed on
the calendar.
At the expiration of the morning hour,
on a renewed motion of Mr. Bayard,
the Senate took up the hill which pro
vides that supervisors of elections shall be
appointed by the President, with the con
sent of the Senate, and shall hold office
two years. Mr. Bayard proposed to
change the date on which the terms of the
supervisors now in office will expire, from
May 1st to July 1st. He also agreed to so
amend the bill as to recognize the Pres
ident’s right to appoint new supervisors
during a recess' of the Senate. Mr. Bay
ard explained the bill, and, in reply to
the questions and criticisms of Mr. Hoar,
said it was not intended to affect the pow
ers of supervisors in any way, but to reg
ulate their tenure ot office. Many of them
had already held their places since 1871,
and there was no provision for removal
for cause. The office could he vacated
only by death or resignation. Mr. Bayard
thought this oijposed to our practice of
government.
Mr. Conkling spoke in opposition to the
bill, and declared it was one more link in
the chain of legislation inteuded to nullify
laws guaranteeing free elections.
Mr. McDonald supported the bill, and
said he did not believe federal interference
with elections was bcueficial or* constitu
tional. Since, however, the Democrats
could not repeal the election laws, they pro
posed to take the teeth out of the federal
machinery, and render it as harmless as
possible. - '
Mr. Teller opposed the bill, and re
ferred to the lawlessness in various parts
of the South as proof that federal election
officers were needed. While he was
speaking of the-use of tissue ballots in the
South, Mr. Hampton handed him a tissue
ballot, and asked him to read it. Mr.
Teller said it purported to be a Republi
can tissue ballot, and he thereupon went
into the history of the election in Charles
ton, asserting that the Republicans used
tissue ballots in a legitimate manner to
prevent the Democrats from distinguish
ing them from their own tissue ballots
and throwing them out.
Mr. Hampton remarked that the pres
ent representative from that county was
elected by ten thousand majority. Mr.
Teller had said three thousand Democratic
tissue ballots were cast. Even allowing
three thousand, he still had seven thou
sand majority.
Mr. Thurman moved to amend the bill
by providing that no person who has held
or who now holds the office of supervisor
of elections, shall be reappointed. He
said he knew some supervisors of elections
had been bad men and he did not intend
they should ever be reappointed.
Mr. Hoar said this bill was part of a
scheme to destroy the liberties of the peo
ple by a sort of dry rot. The government
was not to be overthrown by violence but
by the corruption of the ballot box.
In further remarks he said Mr. Hoar
had fallen into a mistake very common
at the North that where the colored peo
ple make up a majority of the population
there must be a Republican majority. No
greater mistake could be made. He ven
tured to-say that there tens of thousands
of colored men in his own State who were
as earnest Democrats as he was. He be
lieved he could go into his State, and be
elected by negro votes alone. The ne
groes realized that they were better off
under Democratic rule than. under Re
publican rule. He had beaten in the
canvass against Chamberlain by their
votes, and he had told them then tbafr if
they were in Massachusetts where Cham
berlain came from they might be as good
citizens as any oue, but unless they could
read and write they could not vote.
Mr. Hampton said that Mr. Hoar might
instruct Massachusetts in her duty un
der the constitution before he condemned
other States; that State disfranchised 136,-
000 men under the educational qualifi
cation, yet she kept her full popular rep
resentation in Congress In violation of the
constitution.' An animated running de
bate followed, in which Messrs. Hampton,
Butler, Hoar and Teller took principal
part, and which turned upon evidence
taken before the Wallace committee,
and interpretation of it in various ways.
A long, desultory running debate was then
brought oil by an assertion of Mr. Teller,
that Democrats were afraid to discuss
certain questions, and a sharp colloquy
followed between Messrs. Voorhees,
Conkling and Edinnnds, the two first
named Senators attacking each other’s
records with some bitterness. At 6:10
o’clock, without action on the bill, the
Sennte adjourned.
Washington, May 23.—In the House,
at eleven o’clock the session of yester
day terminated and that of to-day began.
The House dispensed with the morning
hour and continued in committee of the
whole on the sundry civil bill. Amend
ments were adopted providing for light at
the mouth of Amite river, Louisiana,
and for an increase of $25,000 in the ap
propriation for coast aud geodetic surveys.
An appropriation to provide increased
storage room for government coin was
stricken out. A long discussion followed
upon amotion to amend the bill by in
creasing the appropriation for the na
tional board of health, but without com
ing to a vote took a recess, the evening
session to he for the consideration of the
steamboat bill.
Washington, May 26 On motion of
Mr. Eaton, the pensions deficiency appro
priation bill was taken-up. Mr. Eaton
moved an amendment appropriating $15,-
000 for committee expenses of Senate.
After some debate, agreed to.
Mr. Windom offered an amendment
appropriating $600,000 for the payment of
fees of United States marshals and their
deputies. Rejected by a party vote—yeas
22, nays 33. The amendments proposed by
the Senate committee on appropriations
were agreed to. After the adoption of an
amendment appropriating $5,000 for the
continuance of the work of settling the
claims of States on account of swamp
lands, the bill was passed.
At the expiration of the morning hour
the Senate resumed consideration of the
bill defining the terms of chief supervisors
of election.
Mr. Edmunds spoke at length in oppo
sition to the bill, which he said was in
tended to secure control of elections.
He was followed by Rollins, of New
Hampshire, in a general attack upon the
record of the Democratic party. He
quoted from the evidence of outrages in
the South, and paid special attention to
South Carolina, declaring that the Ham
burg massacre was an unprovoked and
unjustifiable attack by Southern chivalry
upon a parading negro company whose re
sentful comments, though not accom
panied by violence, served as a pretext for
a massacre of the whole town.
At the conclusion of Mr. Rollins’ re
marks Mr. Butler said : “The Senator
from New Hampshire has ransacked all
the filthy, dirty records in Washington
and everywhere else for tike purpose of
pronouncing a benediction (?) upon my
State. I simply desire to say now that
what he has said is from beginning to end
contemptible calumny upon the character
of South Carolina. I shall take occasion
hereafter to pay my respects to what the
honorable Senator has said, but I will not
delay the Senate now.”
Mr. Lamar said he also wished to reply
to statements of Mr. Rollins with regard
to Mississippi, but was not well enough
to do so to-day.
party, and as to the manner and effect of
their use, as shown by testimony before
the Teller (now Wallace) committee.
After a good deal of further debate,
Thurman's amendment forbidding the re
appointment of chief supervisors of elec
tion, who now hold or have held office,
was agreed to, and the bill passed by 27
yeas, 14 nays—a party vote. The Senate
then adjourned.
