The Bonaparllst members of the chamber
of deputies have Issued a protest against the
arrest of Prince Napoleon, and demand an
appeal to the people. The chamber of depu
ties, by 407 to 04. has voted urgency for the
motion made by M. Balluo to strike the
names of the Orleans princes from the army
list. The ministry agreed to urgency. The
ministerial bill dealing with pre
tenders 1ms been introduced in the
chamber of deputies. It authorizes
the president of tl.e republic by a decree
given in council, to expel members of former
Feigning families whose presence in France
should compromise tho safety of the statc,
those returning to be liable to 6 yeare In
prison. Princes who now serve in the
army are to be placed on the retired
list/ This last clause caused an
tiproar in the chamber. Another bill
has been introduced modifying the press laws
of 1881. It provides for the punishment of
outrages against the republic, and makes tho
offenuers amendable to correctional trsbanals,
A vote of urgency was also adopted for these
measures. The (committee on them, and on

WAfUiK0T05, January 20.—General Grant
has been brought into the complication over
the Georgia otlices, and is liable to have a
strong inlluence in disposing of them. To
day he caul that he had received a letter from
General Lonsstreet, urging him to aid in se
curing the appointment of .Jesse Wimberly
os revenue collector at Savannah, and K. L.
Wade as collector of the port at Brunswick.
General Grant called on the president and
laid this letter before him, with his strong
indorsement. Ho furthermore advised
the pies id ant to consult • ongstreet on
all appointments for Georgia. The
same mail that brought Loncstreet s letter
brought, one from James Atkins, protesting
ngainst the appointment of Wade and \\ im-
berlv. Grant says he will 1 pay no attention
to Mr. Atkins’s letter, os he has proven a
failure iu everything he has attempted in
Georgia. He thinks that Wade and Wim
berl .Will be appointed. Wimberly leaves for
Geo*lri ito-moirow to see his , w
rututii in a few days. \V. J. White called on
the prcsiicnt to-duy to ascertain his intention

He was exposing the partiality of the.pl'cBent
fast mail arrangemenls, when Senator Butler
and lie came together in a aeries of -sharp re
partees. In the course of tho flro Mr. Barrow
remarked that uot five thousand people lp
Georgia ever heard of the present fast mail.
Mr. Butler then said the senator had hotter

quickly, and with emphasis, retorted that he
certainly would not go to South Carolina for

the following plan ofrepresentallon.ofrered
by Mr. Chandler: ‘'The republican national
convention of 1884 shall consist of four de e-

galea from each congressional district. Tne
delegates at largo shall be chosen by podu ttt
delegate state conventions, called on not lew

not elected previous to the meeting

gates shall be accredited by officers of such

allowed from each territory and from the
District of Columbia, similarly chosen.
Notices of contests may bn given to tM

printed statements of the grounds of contest-,
which shall alto bo made public and prefer
ence in order of hearing and determining

a few months or a year; but it is lost.

imminent danger threatens the republic. He
think, new elections would now result In the
return of a chamber similar to that existing.
No pretender would have a c,*ance yet,
though, a couple of years hence, unless the
republic ceases its impolitic war against the
Catholics, a monarchist restoration may be
quite possible. Since writing this a curious
tact has come to my knowledge. The proofs
of the manifesto, which have been carefully
kept secret front all but his immediate ad
herents, were handed to the prince at the
opera Monday night, during tlte representa
tion of "Aida." The final arrangements were
then made.

midnight the overland express by the South

stopped near Tehchapl station, to cut out an
extra engine taken on at Sumner, to assist in
S uiting up the Tehchapl grade.
ftiUe making tho change, by some
iean« yet unknown, the train got away and
started back northward down a grade of 1-0
feet to the mile. The train consisted of two
engines and the express, mail and baggage
cars, two sleepers, one coach and smoker, it
went down grade at a frightful speed for
abotr. four miles, when the hindermost
deeper jumped the track and went over an
cmb.iakment about fifteen feet high, carry
ing with it the other sleeper and the mail,
bsguige and express cars which were piled in
a shattered heap. They then took tire and
wore consumed. The coach and smoker kept
on d. wn the grade and were stopped with
out having the track, about two miles fur

terrible. A number of persons were jammed

1 OKgM> OF THE WHISKY MF.5.
Washington, January 18.—Sooner than any
«nc expected the whisky people are art ng
for more. Having got their bill extending
the payment of taxes two year*—the original
time being live year*— through the senate,
thoy now ask for a reduction of the tax on
whisky from ninety to fifty cents a gallon,
the total remission of the tax on whisky in
bond will ho the next step. It matters not
what the tax is if It is to be remitted. Prob
ably it is argued that it will bo easier hereaf
ter to remit fifty than ninety contsn gallon.
Inquiry among representative membe:
fully justifies what has been' said concerning
the loss of strength by the whisky bill in the
house. Its passage, lately so easy, will cost it"
effort now, even if it is possible. There is
disposition growingalarmingto break engage
ments. This is the result of popular senti
ment operating on the representatives of the
people.

their class of legislation in the fob
low inn words: “I have carefully
considered the provision, of senate bill No
601, entitled "A bid for the relief of Robert
Stodard Wild.” I am of opinion that the gen
eral statute i, sufficiently liberal to provb.e
relief in all proper cases of destroyed United
Statea bonds, and I believe the act above re
ferred to constitute* an evil precedent. Ilia
not, however, so objectionable as to call for
my formal disapproval, and ! have allowed it
to become a law under the constitutional
provision, contenting jnyielf with

them through this country ami carry them

There Is nothing in the anti-Chine*o bill to

to have them land at Havannah. It is now

Hartwell, Januury 18.—Mr. T. T. Hodges's
stables and barn were totally destroyed by
fire lost night. The fire, it seems, originated
in the loft, and broke out at the top about 10
o'clock, and but for tho timely aid of the
citizens and favorable weather, tlte whole of
the south side of town would Ituve been in
ashes this morning. There is no plausible
suggestion ns to the origin of tho fire. The
loss and injury by the fire will probably not
exceed $300.
Gainesville, January 18.—Tho city is con
siderably agitated over the loss of Some of the
records belonging to the mayor and council.
The books gone nro the tax book, embracing
tho digest for the past five years; the cash
book, showing the entire income of tlte city,
and tiie assessors' hook for 1882. Tito lo.-s of
these hooks was discovered immediately after
the removal of the effects of the mayor and
council when the court-houso was destroyed
by fire, on the night of the first. When their
absence was first discovered, it was thought
they had been mixed up with tho records of
tlte county officers. Diligent search, however,
discloses the fact that they are gone. That
they were not burned in the old council
chamber nil know, hence the excitement. It
was generally understood that tho incoming
administration Intended to investigate the
financial affairs of tho city, and see if the
money had been honestly accounted for, and
the mysterious disappearance of the books
upon the very night of the inaugura
tion of tho new officers have set the
people to thinking anil tongues
to going. Mayor Find ey bis issued
a* proclamation setting forth tho facts and
asking for information, but up to tho present
nothing of tlielr whereabouts has been mndo
knownT Without these hooks lnv.'stigatlon
is absolutely blocked.
Mii.ledoevills, January 1(1—For aorne
Unto there liotritcen a disgraceful fuss in the
negro Baptist church here. The deacon and
most of tho influential members arc dissatis
fied with tho present pastor. Tito women
praise him and cling to him with a tenarious-
iicss that is probably questionable. One of
the most nrdent admirers ami dingers was
fitted thirty dollars and costa this morning
in tho mayor s court. On last Sunday she,
during service, seised a plank, ascended he
pulpit and vowed she would ‘ knock tho
{luffin' outcti,” and deal destruction gener
ally to any one who dared oppose her beloved
pastor. . ,
