Washington, Dec. 20.—[Special.]—tfhe
meeting of Southern republicans held here
on Tuesday night, at which a committee waa
appointed to prepare an address jor present
ation to Gen. Harrison touching his policy
toward the Sontb, tnrns out to hare been a
thinly disguised more in behalf of John
Sherman for Secretary of State.
The leaders of the movement were the
most ardent Sherman men at Chicago, and
were open in their expressions of disgust
and disappointment when Gen. Harrison was
nominated. Some of them pronounced the
nominee a cold and repellant man who
would hangaa a weight around the party't
neck and aink it out of sighL In their
opinion, the party, by its rejection of Mr,
Sherman, had not only inrited, but now de
served defeat, and in their own embittered
way they w. shed their bauds of the whole
business.
habbison's nomination affects russbix
Mr. Russell, who is chairman of the com
mittee in question, went so lar as to with
draw from the race for the judgeship of the
aupreme court of his state to which he had
been nominated by the republicans, and
while diplomatic enough in framing his
reasons for the public, he was frank enough
in private conversation, and said that his
party bad no prospect of winning either its
local or national contest
The present effort, therefore, at the bottom
on the part of these men is to maneouver to se
cure n friend in a high position at tbe court
so that the ear of the chief magistrate may
in some way be reached. The man they
have fixed upon is John Sherman, whose
battles they have repeatedly (ought and
■pon whote friendship they feel that they
•an implicitly rely.
THE SPOILS WOULD BE THEIRS.
With Mr. Sherman as the premier, their
chances for recognition, they believe, would
be almost as good as if he were tbe Presi
dent. Not only would he have many ins
portant places at his disposal in his own de
partment, but his voice wouid be more or
•fess potent in appointments outside of his
department, and so, in the end. they would
be certain of a substantial share of the
spoils. Tuesday night’s meeting, therefore,
was in effect a Sherman meeting.
Tt was notan anti-Blaine meeting, except
in so far as Blaine and Sherman being the
only aspirants for tbe premiership of the in
coming administration, any movement in
tended to pressing one ot them may be
considered as against the other. But the
point sought for oa the part of these men is
to get their favorite in a position where be
•an serve them. They will address them
selves solidly to that one object.
IT WOULD PLAY SUDOKU KIDDLE.
Gen. Harrison will probably hear precious
little from them on the subject of a Southern
policy. Bnt if he will give heed when the
committee reports, be will be speedily con-
, »inc*d that the one thirj ]j 8
done to insure finquAltilcd approval of
conthein republicena is the appointment of
4 ohn Shernian n.v Secretary ot State. It is
llimattid that Mr. Shernmn is nulling the
wires of this movement himself, and feels
that he is fully justified in beginning early.
" The announcement that Mr. Blaine will
arrive in town next month is accepted as
notice that his campaign will be nt once
•peued ...id that he him-eH will conduct H.
Mr. Sherman’s esse is being strengthened
by the accession of many prominent In-
dianians to his ranks. Still, the little bat
ing here is with the odds on Blaine.
NICHOLS FOR PUBLIC PRINTER.
Congressman John Nichols of North
Carolina is the latest candidate announced
for public printer. He it a prominent
Knight of Labor and is, besides, a practical
printer and book binder. He has acted in
the present House with the the republicane,
although elected as an independent. He
was an original Harrison man, and waa in-
atrumeutat in the election ol several dele
gates to Chicago, who voted from tbe outset
(or the Indiana candidate. It is rumored
that a movement is on foot to secure an ex
pression from the labororgsnixition friendly
to the candidacy of Mr. Nichols.

cifio Railroad Company at Chicago for
a ton. fetcel rails arc worth in Europe
a ton, apd could be laid down in New
. ork for about $28 after paying freight
and commissions. They wouid cost nearly
cr quite as much as the Chicago rails de
livered in that city, without the payment
of tarifl'duty. The tariff of $ 17 per ton
wouid bring the price of -foreign tails in
Miw York up to 440 ;t ton, leaving a mar-
«f $13 per ton which the members of
the steel rail cotnbinaeon have it in their
power to levy upon purchaser whenever
they thiuk it prudent to take advantage ot
tlie.r opportunity. It is apparent that if
the tariff on rails should be reduced to 46
per’on the Chicago mills could still un
tiers' ll foreign competitors and keep pos
session of the home market. In the last
twenty five years the people of this coun
try have been unnecessarily taxed hun
dreds of millions of dollars in order to fat
ten the steel rail ring. The increased cost
of steel rail adds directly to the cost of
transportation, amt in this way operates

THE HANK OF AMliTKItDAM.
SAVED FROM THE FLAMES.
CUM MING’S HUMOR ItKEAKS OuY. !
Interesting Sketch of a Famous .Monetary
Institution.
Far back in the middle ages says Prof.
Thorold Rogers in “The Story of the Na
tion—Holland," Venice had established a
bank which should receive the coins of all
nations, and give warrants to those per
sons who deposited such coins, which war
rants should circulate from band to hand,
just as bank coles do row. Three centu
ries after the Bank of Venice was founded,
a similar institution was established at
Genoa, on a somewhat similar basis. In
1609, tbe year of the truce, me U.nk of
Amsterdam was founded anil before
the end of the century was known
to have metallic deposits with it to the
amount of $180,000,000—a treasure more
prodigious than any European financier
at that time thought could be possibly ac
cumulated. The notes issued by ihe bank
were supposed to be, and id theory were,
exactly iqttal in amount to the specie or
metallic money deposited in the strong
room of the hank. Rut the notes of the
bank always bore a premium, due to the
convenience of the absolutely guarded
security which the holder of the note pos
sessed. Then the bank charged a small
sum on every account which was opened
with it, a small sum for negotiating bills
and transferring balances, besides a profit
which they derived from their own sub
scribed capital and their customers’ money
at call.
The bank was under the management of
the Amsterdam corporation, the chiefs of
which examined the treasure annually,
and made oath that it was of the full
amount at which the managers of the bank
affirmed it to be. It was seen that the
well-being of this great commercial center
was so much the interest of the Amsler
dam municipality that they coaid be more
safely (rusted with the control of tbe in
stitution than any state official could be.
When nearly a cemury afterward the
project of starting a great central bank
in England was entertained, it was
though for a long lime that the
system tinder which the Bank
Amsterdtm was managed should be the
medel of a hank to be established in Lon
don. In the end, and fortunately so,
other counsels prevailed, for in the seven
teenth cen'urv London had not been so
completely enucated in the principles uf
commercial honor as io make the Amster
dam experiment a safe or convenient
mode for English practice. It is rernark-
*b!e that not a few of the first directors
of the Bank of England were Flemish set
tlers in London, who, driven from their
religion, brought over wiih them the
intelligence, tmgaoity and integrity of
Netherland finance.
The reputation of the Bank of Amster
dam received a remarkable confirmation
in 1672. In this year Louis XIV., having
secured by heavy bribes the complicity
and assistance of Charles II. of England,
declared sudden war on the Dutch. 11
was, perhaps, the most infamous war ever
waged, the most unprovoked and the most
unexpected. The King of France was at
this time at the hight of his power. Tbe
King of England had been in what wr*
supposed to be firm alliance witli Holland,
whose htadlholder, afterward William 111.
of England, was his nephew. The
administration of Holland waa j D the
hands uf the brothers Do Witt, who were
Supposed to have been willfully negligent
of affairs when the waj broke out. The
Dutch were patiic-slkthiit at tlio calamity
which came bn them, anil the political
onemics of the De Wills goaded the popu
lace on ittlo murdering the two statesmen
—a crime to which it is to be feared Will
iam waa privy, and by which lie certainly
profited. The Dutch saved themselves
from permanent min by a prodigious self
inflicted calamity. They cut the dykes,
laid the country tinder water and baffled
the invader. They punished Charles,
or rather his people, for the king’s perfidy.
Now, in that crisis there was a run on the
Bank of Amsterdam. But the city magis
trates took the alarmed depositors into h e
treasury of the bank and showed them i's
store untouched. Among the pieces of
money which lay there were masses of coin
which hail been scorched and half melted
in the great fire which many years before
had occurred in the Stadthouse. The
panic was allayed, the merchants were sat
tsfied, and the reputation of the hank be
came higher and higher.
Coquello on American Audiences,
From the Philadelphia Press, Dec 9.
I have been particularly pleased to find
that American audiences have come to see
us, have applauded us and then hove come
again to see us despite the fact that we
have offered them no elaborate stage deco
rations or monntings. Onr scenery has
been of the simplest, our costumes simply
Buch as have helped to portray more fully
tbe characters reprtsented. I think the
tendency to over elaboration of scenery
and over gorgeouetiees of costuming, is,
from whai I bear, as apparent in
this country as on the other side
of the Atlantic, and it is a ten
dency which I consider contains an ele
ment of danger for the drama. Not that I
would counsel a return to the rude sim
plicity if earlier generations in thus
respect—f»r ffotn it. I consid r that his
torical correctness ol WNtumes is often sn
essential part of a character, that harmon
iously painted scenery is always an mi-
vantage to the actors, but I think that the
danger lies io the destroying of tbe proper
relationship between the sceuery and
alage mounting and tbe acting. The* latter
is the essential, all else is subordinate.
Nowadays I am afraid there is a tendency
to sacrifice the actor to his surround
ings; he it merely ured as a foil to
beautiful scenery or as a lay figure on
which lovely costumes can be exhibited,
and I waa not a little afraid that when *3
AN UNLUCKY BUILDING SITE FOR A
* HOUSE IN VINEVILLE.
The Mother ( i* Rescue of a ChIM from
Hetiijg named — Destruction of u
Keshleoce and Nearly Alt
tt Contained.
A small dwelling house, situated near
St. Stanislaus College, occupied by Chas.
E. Harris, book-keeper for McManus &
Co., caught on fire yesterday noon, from
a defective flue, and in a short time was
completely destroyed.
The only occupant of the house it the
time cf the fire was a small child of Mrs.
Harris', which wus playing in the kitchen.
The motbrr was in the yard, feeding
chickens, aud glancing towards the house
amazed to see a torrent * of
smoke and flames issuing from the
roof. Ku-hing into the room she
snatched her infant ttj^ in her arms and
hastened to tile house of a near neighbor.
A number of people witnessed the bre,
but nothing could be done, as it was out
side of the city linlts.
The house was trie property of Mr. C. B.
Ellis, and wa< insurid in the Southern
Mutual for $500, while Mr. Harris held a
policy on his furniture for a similar sum
in the Merchants of Newark, N. J.
A coincidence of the blaze was noted by
many yesterday afternoon who are ac
quainted with the local happenings of the
city. Exactly two years ago, on the same
spot, Mr. Ellis had a much larger house,
but it went on that day, Dec. 20, 1886.
The owner has not decided as yet
whether or not he will rebuild.
A MACON INVENTION.

Not very long ago, Mr. .Ed A. Isaacs,
the well known drummer received letters
patent fir a back band book, a very simple
device known to everbody who lias had
any experience with mules. This particu
lar hook was his own invention, and was
intended to take the place of the light and
ve-y unsatisfactory hook that Iras given
mule owners so much trouble and was so
hard on the mules. He showed his inven
tion to several parties with a view to in
teresting them in the manufacture and
sale, bus while all admitted that it was a
good thing, none cared or seemed to care
to trouble themselves about it. But when
he showed it (o Messrs. Harry Tindall and
John Van Syckie, they saw its value in a
moment, and before he left tl cm he
had a check for a half interest
the invention. A few were
tnadd and placed in the hands of salesmen.
Wherever .it was shown an order was
given, and now there are orders cn file for
oner one thousand dez n. These orders
are fiom all over the country, and St.
Louis wants a thousand(ic!»n, ’Savannah.

THE RIVEIt AND IIARDOR DILL
Mr. Blanchard, of Lonisian, moved that
when the river and harbor bill be next taken
up the general debate be limited to fifteen
minutes.
This was opposed liy Mr. Sowden of Penn
sylvania and Ilia proposition limiting the de
bate to two hours being rejected by Mr.
Blanchard, be ruin d tbe poiat of no quorum
on that gentleman’s motion. It waa finally
agreed that the general debate should lie
limited to one anil a half hours. The House
then went into committee of the whole on

Mr. Sowden spoke in opposition to the
measure, and directed his reiuurks especially

of the fifty-first congress shall, prior to the
firs’. Monday in In-ienibrr next, investigate
the expenditure of appropriations for inter
nal improvements, with authority to visit
places where appropriations are expended.
A WARNING FROM CUUMINGB.
Mr. Cnmmings of New York sounded a
note of warning to his colleagues to go slow,
and recalled the passage over Arthur’s veto
six years ago of the river and harbor bill,
which called fot $19,000,000. The passage of
that bill bad been followed at tho succeed
ing congressianal election by the defeat of
its warmest supporters. 11s took his stand
on the veto message of President Arthur.
Ha was willing to vote the fullest appro
priations for tbe benefit of the genuine arte
ries of commerce. lib was willing to vote
large appropriations for Mobile and Savan
nah, but he was not willing to vote thousands
for Duck Creek and Wapoo Cut Beaufort
and Charleston should be liberally dealt
with, but when it was proposed to appro
priate for the Congaree' tiver, Cententia
creek and Lumber river he was compelled
to protest,

STEWART DEFENDS TIIK BILE.
Mr. Stewart of Texas, defended the hill
and commented on the fact that apposition
to such measures always came from the rep-
sentativei of New York, whies, he said had
in the past received more ipproprintion*
than any other lot-ality in the country. Ill
response to Mr. Cummings he dec ured that
there was it river provided for io the bill
which did not not enrue wiihiuthe nerigua
tioti of an inter-state river.
Mr. Henderson of Illinois said that it had
become fashionable to attack river and har
bor bills by quoting the strange names which
it contained and lie as-erril that ail tbe
works mentioned by the gentleman from
New York, Mr. Cummings, weie of national
importance. *
Mr. Fitch of N w York replying t * Mr.
Cummings, said President Arthur had been
defeated for re-nomination and ids defeat
was as good an argument in favor of the bill
a* the defeat of congressmen was an argu
ment against it,
BLANCHARD Replies to cummingS.
Mr. Blanchard challenged the gentleman
from New Yotk, Mr. Cummings, to move to
strike uut the appronriatidns for the small
rivers he bad mentioned. He (Blanchard)
could in every case give a satisfactory reason
for the appropriation. He read ihe reports’
of the engineers upon two or three of the
