Charleston Kevo a*4 Courier.
Wo publish to-day a statement by Major
W H. Brawley, a member of the purchas
ing committee, erring the committee’s
view of the cause of the delay in reorgaa-
iang the Sonth Carolina railroad, and
showing what Steps are being taken to re
move tho obstruction, and -with what
prospects of suocees.
According to Major Brawlcy’s statement,
tho whole of the creditors of the Sonth
Carolina railroad havo accepted the ar
rangement proposed by Uie purchasing
committee, excepting threo of the five
members of the syndicate who lent the
company, before the present litigation
began, a considerable sum of money. The
amount due the syndicate on their loan is
i 11° 000. “Tho eocuritios they hold havqa
cash’value of about four hundred thousand
dollars; the securities, including $236,000
second mortgage bonds, with coupons
from 1«7S, second mortgage cm-
rans, ffMAItt first mortg.igo bonds, and 2,-
JtO shares of stock. Ur-on the dismissal of
the appeal, tho syndicate can, at once, rea
lize on those securities and pay themselves.
Or, the amount duo them will be paid on
demand by the purchasing committee.
Bat threo of tho five syndics refnso to ao-
cept such payment, and decline to consent
to dismiss tho appeal. Behind the claim
for money ndvnncod by the syndicate is a
claim for *25,030 for lawyers’ fees, with
which tho parchaaing committee have
nothing to do, and which is not included in
or affected by the presont litigation. Un
less the claim of tho lawyers is tho secret
of the present obstruction, what is ?
A most sinister rumor b in circulation.
It is. that tho Clyde syndicate—alarmed at
the prospect that tho South Carolina rail*
-J when reorganized and an active
member of tho South Atlantic alliance, will
be nble to frustrate theschcmeaof the Dan
ville combination to divert businoss from
Charleston and Savannah—is anxious to
buy the claim of the syndicate, with a view
to using it to protract litigation and defier
the reorganization of the South Carolina
railroad? Ui>on tho Sonth Carolina rail
road, more than on any othdr single agonoy,
depends the life nnd fortune of Charleston.
The South Carolina railroad’s expectation
of strength- and development hangs on
r idy reorganization, nnd active workiu
South Atlantic or i'isher-W'adley-SIoan
alliance. In this sense, whatever delays
reorganization injures Charleston. To give
to the Clyde tho means of hindoring reor
ganization is to sacrifice Charleston for tho
benefit of Virginia ports.
We feel that we do no more than'our
duty in laying the facts, as given to us, be
fore tho public, who are so deeply con
cerned in what is going on around ns.
Till* syndicate’** stand.
Having published the views of the pur-
rior yesterday invited Messrs.' B. H. Rut
ledge, W. G. DeSaussure nnd Charles' In-
glesby, throe of tho counsel for the syndi
cate, to givo their view of the matter, with
especial reference to Major Brawley's state
ment. The answer of tho counsel to the
questions asked is as follows:
The agreement between tho South
Carolina Railroad Company nnd
the syndicate provides that the
latter shall be reimbursed for all their
advances with interest and for “all ex
penses which they may have been put to or
incurred." In tho pending suit this agree
ment was assailed, and the securities held
under it were attacked. Tho decision of
Chief Justice Waite lias sustained tho one
and validated the other.
In stating their account under tho agree
ment tho syndicate claim that theyareen-
titled to be reimbursed tho counsel fees to
which they have been snbjecled by the liti-
g..;: - a, aad which they claim arc a legiti
mate i-ortion of tho expense contemplated
by the agreement. So fee from obstruct
ing any settlement, they have offered to ac
cept easier terms than any other creditor
whomsoever of like rank, in this, that they
were willing to receive payment entirely in
new first mortgage bonds, provided tho
market price of the same should not be
less than ninety-eight cents on the dollar,
while the other creditors were to receive
one-third cash and the balance in bonds.
They have farther offered to submit tho
whole controversy to a referee to bo agreed
upon by both sides, with the privilege to ci
ther side to appeal from his decision to
Chief Justice Waite, the opinion of the
Chief Justice to be final in the matter.
Upon tho conclusion of the agreement be
tween the parties, all appeals to bo discon
tinued and tho purchasing committee there
upon bo at liberty to proceed immediately
with the scheme of reorganization. The
syndicate havo insisted only on two things:
first, that tlio settlement so made shonld
be a finality; and secondly, that it be made
in a reasonable time. They and their
counsel will not consent that the claims of
all other creditors should ue fixed and set
tled, and that theirs only shonld be left
open to indefinite litigation of possibly
several years’ duration. The negotiations
between tho syndicate and the purchasing
committee resulted in an agreement upon
every point except one, namely: Tht com
mittee insisted that the referee should be
appointed special master in tho cause. To
this the syndicate declined to accede, be
cause it opened the door to on appeal to tho
Supreme Court of the United States, which
would tie them np for possibly four years,
and in this way would defeat the object and
purpose of the agreement, to-wit: a speedy
decision of the whole matter by the Chief
Justice of the United States.
Upon this declination, the purchasing
committee broko off negotiations and be
gan the present proceedings in the Supremo
Court at Washington.
Two objections have been made to the
account of the syndicate; first, the number
of counsel engaged, and, secondly, the
amount charged by them. Kach member
of the syndicate, five in number, employed
bis usual and regular counsel. Complain-
•Sfc •wito* only about $200/33 out' of
IMW.OOO second mortgage bond3, were rep
resented in Baltimore by fivo counsol,
namely: Messrs. Chamberlain, Corbin,
Stone, Mitchell and Sterling. For their
services in securing the appointment of a
rereiTer, these counsel were paid, by the
order of the court, about $23,000.
Tho counsel fear the syndicate for threo
years have labored in behalf of thoir cli
ents, and have succeeded not only in vindi
cating their conduct, but also in validating
OTer $44X1,000 of securities which had boon
nssaiied, and which will now innre to the
benefit of tho purchasing committee and
the owners of the road.
This is a plain statement of the facte of
tne case, nnd now yon nnd tho pablic can
draw your own conclusions and form your
own judgment.
Baltimore American.
The formal decision of tho Virginia
Midland Railroad directors to extend that
rood south from Danville continues to bo
the subject of interested comment in rail-
read and business circles in Baltimore.
The projectors of tho schemo do not pro
pose to content themselves with n mere
through line to Charlotte or Spartanburg,
out intend, if possible, to create a system
of roads which will drain tho Carolinas,
Georgia and part of Tennossoe, and place
Baltimore on a new footing as a market
lor Southern products. Among other mat
ters which wore brought before the Vir-
Rtaia Midland directors’ meeting on Sat
urday, was the question of obtaining con
trol of tho Western Railroad of North
Carolina. Mr. W. J. Boat, of New York,
who was formerly the president of tho
road, and is now a Inrge stockholder there
to, was in Baltimore and mndo overtures
te Colonel J. B; Barbour, president of the
\irginiu Midlarid. ;•
American says: In order to explain
the position of affairs in regard to this
road, it maybe welt to state that when
Gov. I. J. Jarvis, of North Carolina, wa3
inaugurated last year his party (tho Demo-
orahe) made the question of organizing
a horth Carolina system, of which the Wes
tern North Carolina railroad was to form
® Pert) the basis of a great reform—so-
*“**«*. After several, changes had been
®ade in other State roads, the Western
worth Carolina road was sold to W. J. Best,
•». It. Grace (now mayor of Now York), J.
wclsonff*appan and James D. Fish, of New
tori;. For some reason still unexplained,
i ®*Brs. Grace, Tappan and Fish, after visil-
ti'g North Carolina and expressing their
Willingness to ratify the sale negotiated by
Mr. Best, refused to organize under
tue charter granted to hjm, and ho was
obliged to raise the money called for by
nis contract with the State from another
•gSSfcta rids emergency he borrowed
’JrtO for ninety days from A. S. Buford,
, iu jocundT. M. Logan, who repre-
sent tho Richmond and Danville company.
•nr« n , ? u * ne ty days i expired Mr. Best
was unable to meet his engagement and
was compelled to assign all his rigtit, title
and interest in the Western North Carolina
road, except 7,500 shares of Uie slock, to
Buford, Clyde and Logan to pay his in
debtedness to them, ana also to secure the
completion cf tho road to Paint Rock, on
the Tennessee line, and Ducktown, near
the Georgia line, in accordance with the
terms of the contract with the State.
CAN IT HE SECURED ?
It now appears that Buford, Clyde and.
Logan had advanced up to Jauuaur 1st last
$160,(XX) in aid of the road, ana, conse
quently, at present it is practically under
the control of the 1 Danville system. Mr.
Best and the officials under him were
ousted, and Col. A. B. Andrews, of Raleigh,
elected in his place. Under the terms of
the contract made by Mr. Best with the
State/4b» raad was to be eatended from
Asheville to Paint Rock, on tho western
boundary of North Carolina, and to Duok-
town, on the southwestern boundary, which
would give valuable Western connections.
Mr, Beit claims that the Richmond and
Danville people will not extend the road os
called for by the contract, and that as he
only turned it over to them in order to
secure the extensions, if* they fail to
make them the road must then revert to
him. These facta were laid before Colonel
Barbour by Mr. Best, who urged that he be
granted assistance in regaining control of
the road, in which event it could be need as
a feeder of the Virginia Midland extension,
as it will cross the latter near Statesville.
He informed Colonel Barbonr that he had
already brought suit in the Superior Coart
of Rowan county to havo Messrs. Buford,
Clydo and Logan—the Richmond and Dan-
villo pooplo—declared trustees on hia
(Best’s) behalf, and ordered to reconvey
the road’bark to him when ho shall refund
the borrowed money. Mr. Best expressed
great confidence in the success of his suit,
aud in that event desired assistance in rais
ing the money necessary to regain posses
sion of it .
THE VIRGINIA MIDLAND TO CONSIDER IT.
Col. Barbour, without committing him
self, promised to givo the matter careful
consideration, ana to bring it before the
board nt its noxt meeting for action. The
road, besides its advantages as a local
feeder, ooakl be oxtondea at very little
cost to Paint Rock and Ducktown, 11ms
giving connection with the Tennessee Air-
Line nnd other roads. Mr. Best yesterday
left for Now York, whore he will endeavor
to enlist capital in his enterprise. The
Western railroad of North Carolina at
present rens from Salisbury to Asheville, a
distanoeof 140 miles. It passes through
Statesville, Catawba, Newton, Hickory,
Icard. Mcrganton, Glen Alpine, Marion,
Old I: ort, Henry, Black Mountain, Coopers
and Swannnnoa. The officers are A. B. An
drews, general superintendent, Raleigh,
North Carolina, and J. R. Mncmurdo, gen
eral freight and passenger agent, Salisbury,
North Carolina. It was also learned yes
terday that at the meeting on Saturdny
there were two routes proposed for the Vir
ginia Midland, which were discussed nt
some length, but neither absolutely select
ed. The extension to Walnut Covo—tho
first 30 miles—is included in both plans,
and, of course, will not be affoctcd by the
indecision as to tho route farther South.
After leaving Moore3ville, the road runs
to Iron Station, Lincoln county, North
Carolina, where tho different routes branch
off. They are known ns the Western and
Eastern routes, the former being tho one
mentioned in Sunday’s American.

With this title some one sends ns a lit
tle tract, containing epigrammatic expres
sions from Col. Robert G. Ingcrsoll’s la
test lecture, “What must we do to he
saved?” Wo have read tho entire lecture.
If this is truly Ingcrsoll’s creed, tho Colo
nel isn’t so far out of the vtej. He Is
coining around, may be. He manages to
get considerable Scripture into bis creed,
as he sets it forth. There is lots of liopc,
In fact, there is a great deal of certainty
for tbe Colonel. We subjoin a few arti
cles of this great man’s creed, just to show
from what book he got life declaration of
faith.
Fear 13 a dagger with which hypocrisy
assa33inatcs the soul.—Ingersoll.
That is good gojpel, and “perfect lave
casteth out fear.”
Ifl owe Smith $10 and God forgives
me, that don’t pay Smith.—Ingersoll. ,
Correct you are; the praycrol Christian-
ty Is: “Forgive us our debts as wo forgive
our debtors.” “Owe no man anything.”
Reason is the light of the soul, and if
you haven’t the right to follow it, what
have yon the right to follow ?—Ingersoll.
Vet in the church I had rather speak
five words with my understanding, that I
by my voice might teach otbcrsalso, than
ten thousand words in an unknown
tongue. Brethren, be not children in un
derstanding; liowbeit in malice be ye
children; but in understanding be inch.—
Corinthians xiv: 19,20.' •' * ’
“Honest industry is as good as pions
idleness,” says the Colonel.
Well, that’s all right. That’s ortho
dox. The Bible says tho same tiling,
and said it long before the colonel thought
of it—Faith without works is dead!
Christ believed the temple of God to be
the heart of man—Ingersoll.
■Yes, tnat’s orthodox, too. Wo “must
worship him In the spirit." “Know'yc
not that ye are the temple of the Holy
Ghost?”
If I go to heaven I want to take my
reason with me.—Ingersoll.
Of course, and so yon will, “for now wo
see through a glass, darkly, but there face
to face; now I know in part; but tlien I
sballknoweven as I am known.”—I. Cor.,
xiif., 12.
If yoa go to bell, it will be for not prac
ticing the virtues which tho Sermon on
the Mount proclaims.—Ingersoll.
That’s all orthodox. “If yofi know
these thiDgs, happy are ye if ye do
them.”
The men who saw the miracles all died
long ago. I wasn’t acquainted with any
of ’em.—Ingersoll.
Same way with the men who saw Scr-
vetns- burned. But the Colonel most
firmly believes that Servctus was burned.
A little miracle now, right here—just a
little one—would do more toward the ad
vancement of Christianity than all tho
preaching of the last thirty years.—Inger
soll.
If they hear not Moses and tho prophets,
neither will they be persuaded though one
rosefrom the dead.—Lnke xvil, 31.
If there Is a Godin the nulverse he
will not damn an honest man.—Inger-
aoll.
A false balance Is an abomination unto
the Lord, bnt a just weight is his delight.
—Preverbs xl., L
There is only one true worship and that
is the practice ol justice.—Ingersoll.,
Render, therefore, unto Coc3ar tho
things which be Cicsar’s, and unto God
the tilings which be God’s.—Luke xx.,
20.
God will not damn a good citizen, a
good father, of a good friend.—Iugersoll.
Certainly not, or any good man.
A good man sboweth favor and lendetb;
ho will guide Ills affairs with discretion.
Surely, be shall not be moved forever; tho
righteous shall be bold in everlasting re
membrance.—Psalms xxH. 0, 0.
Study the religion of the body in pref
erence to the religion of the soul. A
healthy body will give a healthy mind,
and a healthy mind will destroy supersti
tion.—Ingersoll.
This explains why the Indians har<> no
superstition. ' !_
People who have the smallest soul*
mako the most fuss about saving them.—
^/course, colonel; they are the hardest
kind to save.
I will never ask God to treat me any
fairer than I treat my fellow-men.-jln-
gersoll. L
“Well, that’s perfectly orthodox, ‘for
If ye forgive men their trespasses, jpur
heavenly Father will also forgive you; but
If ye forgive not men their trespasses,
neither will your Father forgive your
trespasses. For with What judgment 1 ye
judge, ye shall be judged; and with what
measure ye mete, it shall be measured to
you.” *' j
Upon the sliadowy shore of death, the
sea of trouble casts no waves.—Ingersoll.
Tbe Colonel must have been suiting
that good old hymn, “When I can read
my title clear,” in which occur the lines:
And not a wave of trouble roll j
Across my peace fill breast.

ruptcy were referred to the committee on
the judiciary.
Mr. .Coke, of Texas, took the floor in
reply to portions of Mr. Frye’s speech,
which he declared to be rcmtrkablq for
the recklessness of Its statements and
falsity of its charges. It arraigns the peo
ple of one whole section, and made
charges which, if true, proved that these
people were not fit associates for any civ
ilized humanity. He did not envy the
man who could fiud it in his heart thus to
speak of any portion of,the people over
which the flag of his country floated. Qe
did not believe the people of Maine in
dorsed the denunciations of their Senator.
He believed they were more patriotic and
had more pride of country than to indorse
it. Tbe man who fomented strife and
stirred up sectional feeling and inculcated
animosity could not be a statesman, nor
could he bo a patriot. *
He then proceeded to reply to the
charges made by Mr. Frye of frauds up
on the ballot in Texas, denying ex
plicitly their truth, and referred to tbe
charge that in Harrison county, in that
State, violence had been resorted to to
keep the Republicans from the polls.
This wholesale charge against the people
of that county, unverified by a single re
cord—by a single affidavit, by a single
statement, except the statement of the Sen
ator from Maine was false. He meant it
in no offensive shape to the Senator, who
of course, made his statement on informa
tion, but he branded the charge as false
from the beginning to the end. The sun
of heaven did not shine upon p, land
where in thought, ’.in utterance and in Ac
tion, the people of all classes, conditions
and colors were more free than in Texas,
and every allegation to the contrary, ho
stood here to denounce as fabe and slan
derous.
Tho Senator from Maine had taunted
the South with its poverty. That poverty
had been brought about by war and by the
infamous carpet-bag governments which
had been placed over the Southern States
under the reconstruction acts. The peo
ple of the South were now striving in
every Stale to make honorable payment
or honorable adjustment of their debts.
They were taxing themselves to their ut
most capacity for the establishment of
free schools, believing that universal edu
cation must go with universal suffrage.
Colored children had the same per cap
ita raised for school purposes as white
children had all over the South. Tho
people of the South would redeem the
South. They would place her where the
blood and lineage of her people, where
her glorious climate aud her fertile soil
deserved that she should be placed. All
bringing of tho bones of dead issues into
this chamber would not prevent the South
from becoming the equal in intelligence,
in cultivation, in labor and in aspiration
of tho North, East or West. The people
of the South were of the same race as the
people cf tho North—a race which had
never been dominated by an inferior race
and never would be. That race meant to
govern in the South, and 40 or 40,000
entering wedges, such as was supposed to
have been inserted in Virginia, would
not deviate it from its coarse or change
the result.
Hu dwelt at some length on the im
proving prospects of bis State, instancing
in proof the fact that in I860 there were
hut 300 miles of railroad in that State,
while to-day there were 3,000 miles of
road in active operation and nineteen
roads in course of construction, lie as
serted that the State had in all othor
respects increased in material prosperity,
and declared that these salient facts gave
the lie direct to every statement in the
speech of the Senator from Maine.
Reverting to the question before tho
Senate, he assortea that the fight was
made by the Republican party, not for a
free vote and a fair count, bat to obtain
political power. As long 03 by objurga
tion, by denunciation, by slander and by
abuse, the Republican party kept the
South tiuder the impression that carpet
bag governments would be again placed
over it, it would be solid, and could not
be broken. It could only be broken by
kindness and statesmanship.
A motion to adjourn having been made
aud voted down, Mr. Call took the floor
in denial of the charges made by Mr.
Frye yesterday against tho freedom.of the
ballot in Florida. The charge which the
Senator had emphasized, that in the con
tested election caso of Bisbee vs. Hull the
witnesses were kept from testifying by
murder, rested on the fact that a peaceful
Democrat lmd been killed in a crowd of
colored persons. ‘He (Mr. Call) had
never seen or heard of a single instance of
outrage for political considerations on-
black or white In Florida, aud he chal
lenged anybody to bring any reasonable
evidence of such outrage.
Commenting on Mr. Frye’s remarks on
tlic small amount of money appropriated
for the maintenance of free schoob In
Florida, he asserted that in proportion to
her wealth that State gave as much to the
school fund as Rhode Island or Massachu
setts. He (Mr. Call) had never made use
of anysucb expression as “starving serfs,”
as applied to the .workingmen of Massa
chusetts, which the Senator from Maine
had attributed to him. He could not see
where the Senator had obtained that ex
pression.
In concluding his speech, he made some
reference to the suffrage in Massachusetts,
andthe usual uninteresting colloquy ensued
between himself and Mr. Dawc3 upon that
subject.
Mr. Dawes continued in a humorous
way to ridicule the idea of an honest
vote in the South, taking for his text an
article clipped from the Charleston, S. C.,
yews of the 12th of March, In which the
following sentence occurs: “In their
(Democratic) eyes, cheating as a means
of securing honest government is a widely
different tiling from cheating for tho ben
efit of local workers and a machine made of
office seekers.” This, he said, was a sign
of the warfare which was going on in the
South—a warfare so important that any
man who could strike a blow was wel
comed iuto the ranks of the Republican
party.
Washington, April 21.—A delegation
of iron and steel manufacturers were
granted a hearing yesterday afternoon by
Secretary Windom. Tho principal ques
tion under discussion related to tho rate
of duty imposed on •imported cotton tics.
Tbe manufacturers claim that they cannot
compete with foreign goods unless the
Treasury Department gives them relief
by carrying out what they contend Is the
spirit of the law—namely, that all hoop
iron aball be subject to 1| cents per
pound, and not admitted as manufactured
Iron at J cent per pouud, merely because
a rivet is put through one end of the lap.
The rivet, it was contended by all present,
was of no use whatever, and did not in
crease tho value of the tie.
Dr. L. Ranlctt, of New Orleans, argued
tho caso in behalf of consumers. He said
that if tho department should reopen tho
cotton tic question at this time it would
be a crest hardship to importers in the
South? because they have been acting,
under the' department’s last ruling, and
are involved hi numerous contracts based
thereon. In any oveut tho importers
should’be given at least six months’ no
tice of any change in order that they may
have an opportunity to net off tlicir con
tract. He said the decision would affect
four millions otyeople in the South. Sec
retary Windom said he would give the
subject his attention.
Washington, April 21.—'The sudden
ly tendered resignation of Second Assist
ant Postmaster-General Brady has given
rise to a great deal of talk in this eity.
Ever since Postmaster-General James en
tered upon tbe discharge of his duties, the
air has been thick with rumors, which
could not, however, be verified, to the ef
fect that Geueral Brady’s removal was a
foregone conclusion, and’ all the stories
which were circulated impugning his hon
esty at the time the star route service was
-investigated by the Blackburn committeo,
have been revived. It would now appear
that there has been much more behind
rasii corrupt bar*
the present incumbents in the discharge
of tneir official trusts. Specific mformar
lion bearing on the star route scandal
is carefully withheld by the postofflee
officials, but it la Admitted that the records
show that on tbe 1st of January, 1SS0,
the pay for carrying the mails on
less than 100 out of more than
0,000 star routes had been in
creased from about $600,000
at the time of the letting to $2,800,000.
by orders for additional trips and for
shortened time. A considerable part of
this increase of service, according to the
evidence accumulated, was either. not
performed at all or very imperfectly per
formed, the irregularities being carefully
planned, it is supposed, for the purpose of
transferring the money from the treasury
to the pockets of tbe favored contractors
and their confederates. The irregulari
ties seem to have been confined to
routes west of tbe Mississippi river and to
those in the Territories. After tendering
his resignation yesterday, General Brady
left for New'York.
Washington, April 22—The Vice-
President having laid before the Senate
the unfinished business, being the resolu
tion for the election of officers of the Sen
ate, the usual motion to go into execu
tive session was made by Mr. Harris, and
met with its usual fate, being lost. Yeas,
17; Nays, 22. g
Mr. Morrill then took the floor, in a
denial of what he termed the baseless
charge of a corrupt bargain which had
been so flippantly made and which im
plied that tho Republican Senators were
parties to that bargain. He would he sor
ry to know that any Democratic Senator
should have such a poor opinion of him,
that a denial of that charge should bo
needed. So far as the vote of the Sena
tor from Virginia (Mahonp) was concern
ed, he (Morrill) had understood in ad
vance, that it would be cast with tho Re
publicans, without any conditions what
ever.
He referred to what he called the com
bined attack of the Democratic Senators
upon a single Senator who had recently
taken his seat in this chamber, declaring
that it was not chivalrous on tbe part of
37 honorable Senators to strike altogether
at ono fellow Senator. No ono Senator
had a right to call auothcr to account for
the vote that he might chooso to give
here on any question. He gave instances
of statesmen having chauged.their politi
cal convictions, and asserted that the
charges made against the Senator from
Virginia, by those who were willing to
wound bat ofra'd to strike, were as un
founded aud calumnious as those which
had been made against Henry Clay.
Mr. Beck said that he liked the state
ment which the Senator had made, that
every Senator be allowed to voto as he
pleased, Without being called to account
for it, and that a Senator could not be
bulldozed. He likeil that doctrine, but
in view of it it became gentlemen on
the other side to stand up and charge the
Democratic Senators with treason and re
bellion because thoy cast their votes under
the rules of the Senate for what they
thought was for the good of the country.
Mr; Sherman-inquired whether it was
right Or--wrong to fesortto dilatory mo
tions.
Mr. Beck, replying, said that whether it
is ri:tlit or wrong is for eacli Senator him
self to determine, and if we are acting
within the rules it Is neither right nor
courteous for Senators to say that wo are
seeking to revolutionize tho Senate and
are guilty of treason. ,
Mr. Sherman inquired whether It was
not in tho power of fifteen Senators to
prevent the passage of any bill.
Mr. Beck replied that it wa3. Tlic
Democrats had avowed, for good or had
reasons, that they intended to prevent the
disorganization of the Senate at this time.
If they were wrong they were responsible
for that wrong. It was because they
knew that, that ho was amazed that gen
tlemen on tho other sido did not go into
executive session. Why, when the Re
publicans could get all thebread and butter,
should they behave like spoiled children,
and refuse to take it without sugar? He
would he very careful of what he
said in view of tlnfr declaration of the
Senator lrom Rhode Island (Burnddo)
that “this thing was false, false,
false, and must stop”—because if ho
should have to fight he might shoot his
man and thus break up the constitutional
majority. Tho country believed that
there were controversies among tho Re
publicans which they did not like to take
tho responsibility of facing. The Demo
crats would help them to do the public
work. Why did they not do what the
Democrats told them?”
Mr. Sherman—“That is it. Because
we represent a majority of tho Senate —
which is tho Senate. The question 13,
‘Shall the minority of the Senate dictate
to the majority the order of business?’”
Mr. Harris said that ho knew of but
three things for which Itiddlcberger was
distinguished. He had been the leader of
a Confederate cavalry company; be was
a Readjustee and he had been a Hancock
elector. Which of these tilings could
have led the Republican Senators to nomi
nate him ?
Mr. Sherman replied that the reason he
would vote for Riddicberger was that ho
(Riddieberger) had in an open discourse
proclaimed his purpose to stand by those
In Virginia who were determined to see
that there should be a fair election and a
fair count.
After a disclaimer by Mr. Burnside of
any intention in his speech of Wednesday
to reflect upon any Senator, Mr. Jonas
took the floor. He wished, he said, to
read jome telegrams relative to the caso
of tllat peripatetic individual, Charles
Heath. He read one from Judge R. D.
Brldger, of Caldwell parish, Louisiana,
denying explicitly every statement con
tained In Heath’s story. It denies that
Charles Heath over owned property in
that parish, the property being held in the
name of Edward Heath; that that
property was appraised at $3,000
instead of $25,000, as stated by Heath,
and asserts that the cotton gin was burned
to get the insurance. This telegram was
endorsed by several citizens of the parish.
He also read a telegram from Judge
Caldwell,’of that parish, a Republican, de
nying that any man there had been perse
cuted on account of his political opinions.
Those were facts, Mr. Jonas continued,
obtained from the parish in which tho
Senator from Massachusetts, Mr. Dawes,
bad pleased to locate the outrage. Tho
great fault which the Senator had made
was In locating the outrage at all. The
people of Louisiana would welcome im
migration, and he did not believe that
these malicious and slanderous stories
were endorsed by the people of tbe North,
or would deter them from going down to
that State. He quoted an extract from
the Boston Journal pointing out many
apparent inconsistencies in Heath’s
stoiy.
Mr. Dawes said if the Senator behoved
in the telegrams which he bad read he
might do so. When he had put Heath’s
statement upon the record he transferred
the controversy with the Senator from
Louisiana (Jonas) to Mr. Heath. Having
given his information, ho wonld leave the
question for the Senator to settle. In
conclusion, he bad only to say that he
thanked God he did net live where he
could be tried by a judge who could so
far forget himself and his duty as to put
himself on record in the manner the Sen
ator had mentioned.
Mr. Jonas said that if the Senator
from Massachusetts had had the manliness
to cause'and admit 'that the statements
which lie had made were unfounded, or
that he had not evidence to sustain them,
there 'would have hot been any occasion
for him to tccte tbe trouble to show’the
falsity of tbe statements. The Senator
had thanked God he did not live in the
parish in which Judge Bridger resided,
lie (Jonas) thought that tho people of that
parish, after .reading the Senator’s speech
es, would join the Senator .in grateful
thanks that his lot had not been cast
among them.
Mr. Brown said that a few days ago he
had stated that many Republican papers
bad asserted thatAfeerc w
gain between the Republicans and Ma-
none. That statement badbeen contradicted
by tbe Senator from Rhode fslMid
(Burnside), and he bow desired to live
read from tbe clerk's desk varietu artldes
from Republican papers. Mr. Brown
then sent to tbe clerk's desk and had r^ad
extracts from the Boston Ilerald, Hart
ford Courant, Philadelphia American,
Denver Tribune, Portland Oregonatn,
Philadelphia Evening Telegraph, San
Francisco Argonaut, Pittsburg Dispc&ch
and Sacramento Record Union, in sotne
of which the dead lock was attributed) to
a disgraceful bargain, and quite an amus
ing running debate ensued between Burn
side and Brown as to the politics of those
papers.
Senator Hawley joined inathe discus
sion, aud referring to a speech by Senator
Brown in the Chicago convention, laid
stress upon that sentence of it in which
he had said, “If you' will give us ((he
Georgia Republicans) the fruits of victo
ry we have lately won we will carry
Georgia for General Grant,” his comment
upon it being that it was a “condition
precedent to a bargain.” No man, con
tinued Mr. Hawley, could have resisted
that pathetic entreaty, and Governor
Bullock had made the Senator from
Georgia Chief Justice of Georgia. That
the Senator was a very persuavive man.
It had only been in the last campaign
that he bad appealed to the colored men
to support him against the Bourbons.
Mr. Brown said that if there had been
any negotiation hero it was between Sen
ators, which was a different matter from
a speaker in a convention saying you
must give us certain patronage or we can
not proceed. He proceeded, at some
length, to detail his political history, de
nying the statement that he had at the
last election declared tiiat ho wonld not
go Into tlic Democratic caucus.
Mr. Dawes then, stating that upon
Monday the statue erected in Washington
to the memory of AdmiralFarragut would
be nnrelled and that it was proper for the
Senate to be present, moved that the Sen
ate adjourn till Tuesday, which, alter
slight opposition from Mr. Hams, was
agreed to. ? . .
Washington, April 22.—The National

publish the following: When Postmaster
General James came into office he was
informed by General Brady that when
ever a change was desired in the office of
the second assistant postmaster general
HIS’ resignation would be ready. On
Wednesday last he was notified that tbe
time had arrived, and lie resigned. He
informed his friends that he liadno knowl
edge of tho reasons which impelled the
change. The Postmaster General assigns
no reason which in any manner reflects
upon the integrity of Gen. Brady. A
concerted and concentrated fire of libel
lous statements aS‘to tho causes appeared
yesterday in a number of newspapers,
consisting of assertions without proof.
Tho following telegram was received yes

To tbo friends of General Brady and all
who know him as wo do, this denial was

Cochran, April 22.—I report a very
remarkable surgical operation which was
performed by some of our resident physi
cian a few weeks ago. For several years
past Robt. Raifonl, ot Vienna, Dooly
county, formerly of this plane, has been
afflicted with chronic hypertrophy. He
has consulted the most eminent surgeons
and physicians In Macon and Atlanta and
other places who had advised him that an
operation would bo a hazardous one. He
finally consulted tb- physicians at this
{dace, his former home, who advised him
to have the operation performed, aud that
they were wllliug to undertake it, to
which tbe patient readily consented, and
on tbe 24th of March ult., tbe operation
of semi etnasculalus was performed upon
him bv Drs. T. F. & T. D. Walker and
S. S. Richardson, resident physicians, Dr,
T. D. Walker operating, and the others
assisting. After quite an amount of
troublesome aud tedious labor, the opera
tion was successfully ended. Four weeks
from the time of the operation the patient
was out on tbe streets. I have been in
formed by physicians that this is a very
hazardous operation and one seldom per
formed.
This Is another proof that it is not neo
essary for those that are afflicted to go
away from home in search of adeptsln
medicine and surgery. Our quiet, un
pretending physicians at home who make
no noise or.blow about their skill as sur
geons are as competent to make those dif
ficult operations as those are who have
such high sounding names and reputa
tions. Dravrah.
TnoMASvnxE, April 20.—At the meet
ing of the Georgia Medical Association
this morning it was found that only about
twenty-five besides the resident members
were present. However, a good many are
looked for to-night and in the morning.
The morning session was opened by
rayer by Rev! J. W. McGeehee. Dr. T.
k Hopkins, of this place, delivered the
address of welcome which was responded
to by Dr. W. F. Holt, of your city, in be
half of-the association.. Alter this, the
president being absent, tbe newly elected
president, Dr. John C. Lellardy, of Sa
vannah; was Introduced by Dr. Doster,
the vice-president. Dr. LeHardy’s ad
dress was highly appreciated, and a com
mittee was appoiuted to consider some|im-
provements in the organization of the as
sociation, and suggestions in regard to the
prevention of some diseases peculiar to
the southern part of the State, mentioned
by him, lie expreased his desire that as
many as possible should attend the meet
ing of the public board of health next
November in Savannah.
Dr. Baird then offered his jesignatioii
as secretary of the association which, after
some discussion, was accepted.
There were live applicants for member
ship of tho association, all of whom were
accepted, among thorn were Dr. J. T.
Culpepper aud W. W. Bruce, of Thornaa-
viile and Dr. Kenan Hall, of Macon.
The evening session was devoted to the
reading of essays on various subjects by
different members of (he association.
Thomasville, April 2L—The con
vention was called to order by President
Lellardy, and after tho reading of the
minutes Dr. W. F. Holt, of Macon, was
elected president ef tbe next meeting, and
Dr. E. C. Campbell, of Augusta, secre
tary. The remainder of the morning ses
sion was occupied in. discussing a rcsolu-
tionoffered by Dr. Wm. H. Hall, of Mil-
ledgeville, condemning the neglect of the
tate Lunatic Asylum by tho State Legis
lature, and appointing a committee to in
duce tho Legislature at its next meeting
to mako the appropriations so earnestly
desired by the trustees for affording moral
treatment to the inmates of the asylum.
The afternoon session was occupied by
tho discussion of a bill offered by Dr.
Baird, of -Atlanta, tho object of which
was to keep out of tlic medical profession
all who have not graduated at some med
ical college, and who are not fully com
petent to practice. Dr. Baird thought
that the majority-of the so called physi
cians in the State would come under this
class, and that tho number of them was
increasing to an alarming extent. This
bill was endorsed by the association, and
a committee appointed to secure
its passage by the next Legislature. Ac
cording to this bill the seat of the exam
ining board of tho State Medical As
sociation will be. moved from Mil-
ledgeville to Atlanta. The next meeting
of tbe association will be held in Atlanta.
An invitation from tbe South Georgia
Agricultural College to attend the drill of
tbe boys was accepted this evening, and
one from the Young Female College to
attend that institution to-morrow after
noon. All the business of tho association
baviDgbeen finished it was adjourned
this afternoon. The members were In
vited to a banquet at the Mitchell House
to-night, and a reception aud ball to-mor
row night at the same place.

The following explains itself. It Is
copy of an application which w» filed at
the White House yoaterda i:
“Washington, D. C., -.jiril 18,1881.
“To His Excellency James A. Oarfeld,
President of the United States—Dear
Sue You have been so busy since you
delivered your eloquent and famous in
augural and so beset by office-seekers
wining and anxious to servo their country
In any capacity that I have not ventured
to intrude upon your valuable time as the
ruler ot a great nation, even for tbe pur
pose of paying my respects.
“I have witnessed from afar the diffl
cullies you have met in your efforts to fil
the public petition at your disposal in
the interest of tbe people, aud at tbe same
time to reward the men who contributed
to your election, and reconcile the oppos
ing factions oi tbe Republican party. The
chief difficulty has been that there have
not been offices enough for the applicants;
but occasionally a difficulty has arisen in
which the applicant for office has not been
pleased with tbe character of the position
offered, and. has declined It. Thus the
valuable services of eminent citizens
have been lost to tbe country, as iu the
recent refusal of B. K. Bruce, of Missis
sippi, to accept the Brazilian mission ten
dered him by Your Excellency.
“Itis to relieve you of this dilemma,
and to further the important commercial
interests of our country connected there
with^ tbatlnow reluctantly come to tbe
front aud offer to accept the Brazilian
mission, if tendered to me. I am not
afraid of tho yellow fever, of war, famine,
nor earthquake; but the welfare of our be
loved country would be my sole ambition.
Besides, I have not tho disabilities of
color to combat. As to sex, the precedent
is an old ono. Brazil is tbe only monar
chy on this continent, and monarchies,
from time immemorial, have seated wo
men on tho throne, and have granted
them places according to their rank,
without stooping to the narrow policy of
some would-be republics. Besides, I have
tbe honor of the acquaintance cf the Em
peror and'Emproas of Brazil. If, how
ever, you should deem a man absolutely
necessary to tho completion and success
of the legation, I think that I could in
duce one to go who lias been a gallant
supporter of the Republican party for the
last thirty years, ami who is also a gen
tleman ami a scholar.
“I was born and educated iu the Em
pire State, but do not belong to the ma
chine politicians on ono side, or the inde
pendent oh the other, so that the compli
cation which has arisen in the nomina
tion of Robertson for the port of New
York would be avoided, and I do, not like
‘Private Dalzell,’ desire a higher place.
“I would urge, as to my fitness for the
position; a . thorough knowledge of tbe
commercial interests of the United States,
familiarity with international law, an
earnest desire to arbitrate ill differences of
nations, a knowledge of tbe consular man
ual.and tbe French language, with some
proficiency in Spanish. I would further
add that no woman has ever yet been sent
abroad to represent the interests of this
country, although fully oue-balf of tho
lopulation are women, and about one-
iialf of the products of the country are
represented by women.
“I enclose for your consideration only
one recommendation, and that from a
woman; and I enclose it simply beeause
it is so rare a thing for oue woman to
recommend another. '
“Trusting that yon will sec at once Uie
admirable fitness of this proposition and

and advantage of the country, I remain,
