Secretary Fish gives a contradlc

he does not differ from the President,
and that he will not resign.
Fall in Gotn.—lt will bo observ
ed that gold fell to 7 per cent, premi
um in New York yesterday. This is
the lowest point reached in fifteen
years. In view of the political ex
citement and the great uncertainty
as to its result, this is remarkable.
A special to the New York Iff raid
says that Senator Conkling, who has
kept remarkably quiet during the po
litical excitement, made some re
marks in Washington on Wednesday,
from which It is judged that he will
maintain the right of the House to
scrutinize the Electoral votes, and
their power to exclude for cause.
Mb. Evarts is said to regard tiie Presi
dential question somewhat in the light of
a bankrupt railroad. He favors the ap
pointment of a receiver, and would no
doubt accept the attorneyship on a heavy
retainer. The Herald grimly remarks
Lat Gen Grant is also in favor of the ap
pointment of a reveiver—and he wants to
be the receiver.
- ——
We are glad to find this remark in the
New York World; “It will plunge the
nation steadily deeper and deeper into
disorder if leading Democratic members
of the House fail to see that the Demo
cratic masses iu the States which gave
Democratic majorities are not, disposed to
allow the recent illegal use of the army in
three Southern Slates to be compromised,
arranged or condoned.”
Don Piatt reports Hon. Jere Black
assaying, in answer to the question
whether he thought Grant had de
signs upon another Presidential term,
“The Russian Government, said Vol
taire, was despotism varied by assas
sination; the French Government a
despotism enlivened by epigrams;
and we shall have $ desj.>otistn tinct
ured with delirium tremens.”
Gov. Grover, of Oregon, was a few
months ago elected to the United
States Senate—tho term commencing
on the 4th of March next, A Wash
ington dispatch says that Morton,
Chandler and other Republican lead
ers are enraged at his conduct in
qualifying the Democratic elector in
Oregon, thus securing the election
of Gov. THden. They threaten now to
exclude him (Grover) from the Sen
ate, In retaliation.
A correspondent of the World, after
reviewing the Presidential question
in all of its aspects, says: "Such a
struggle—when one candidate relies
on his law books, the partisans of the
other reverse the decisions of tho
Supreme Court of a sovereign State
by the corporal of the guard—can
have but one end. In such a struggle,
essentially a waiting raco, in which
time, patience and far-reaching skill
may be safely trusted to work their
perfect work, those who know best
the President-elect know he has no
superior.”
Singular. —lt would appear that it
was not certainly known that any
lives had been lost by the burning of
the Brooklyn theatre until several
hours after the fire. The fire oc
curred at 25 minutes past 11 Tuesday
night, and the New York World of
Wednesday morning, in its article of
over a oolumn, describing the burn
ing of the building and a dwelling
house adjoining, said: “It was re
ported at first that several lives were
lost, but up to this writing no one is
reported missing or seriously injured.
Many were thrown down and some
children were trampled upon, but
none of the audience were so disabled
by their Injuries as to hinder them
from getting home.”
k&,. ■* i ' l • -
The President and the Abxy.— A
Washington Us patch .says : “The de
voted partisans of the President in
commenting on what ho has done, or
what he may do iu the future, have
no hesitation in claiming that he will
have the support of the army in any
emergency. There appears to be
some foundation for this. The dis
cipline of the army is such that it
ran be counted on to obey its head.
The present head of the array, Gen.
Sherman, seems long ago to have
parted with whatever of conserva*
tiara he possessed, and is now devo
ted body and soul to Gen. Grant. He
has only to hear the President’s will
to make all haste to execute it. But
although there is no limit to Gen.
Grant’s ambition nor to his audacity,
it will take a good deal more than
the army to overthrow the liberties
of this country, which many seem to
fear he has in contemplation. It may
be difficult to arouse the people of
this country to action, but when they
once are aroused Gen. Grant and his
army at his back would be swept
away like chaff before the whirl
wind.” <r

3Romf.,*Ga„ Deo. 0, 1876.
Editor* Time*: I h ave just arrived
here and find Rome a beautiful little
city with many handsome stores and
dwellings. In fact the Shorter block
is hard to beat in any city double its
size. Business seems to be brisk
and everybody industriously striving
‘for their daily broad. I found the
weather very cold hero, and a gentle
man told mo that the thermometer
on the 4t,h instant fell to 14 degrees,
which is very unusual at this season
of the year, and let me tell you this
cold snap has caused many a hog to
die. I learn from leading men hero,
that the cotton crop Is the best in
quality that has been made in this
section since the war.
Politics here, as everywhere ‘else,
rules the ranch. Everybody is
worked up to the highest pitch. All
waiting to hear from tho Returning
Boards, or what U. 8. Grant and his
scamps intend to do about the Presi
dential muddle.
Here I met some of our former
citizens, among them Mr. David
Adams, formerly Cashier of the
Bank of Columbus. He looks as
well as I ever saw him, and is the
same genial gentleman of yore. Also,
Dr. T. J. Word, late of Columbus.
The Doctor looks better than I ever
saw him. He is doing a large and
paying practice, taking the lead in
his profession ns be justly deserves.*
This is the home of the Georgia
humorist, Bill Arp—this the Eternal
city of Rome, from whence be made
his escape, when surrounded by Fed
eral troops. But let him tell the
story as it happened. Says Bill:
“To leave I must, but how! Oh,
how cau I get away, having no means
of transportation, and the quarter
master gone! I have an ox-cart,
but no gear. lam resolved what to
do. -I will get me a rope and tie
across the shafts of my cart and
back my old steer in, bore a hole in
the front of the cart, pull his tail
through and tie a knot in it, and
thus old Solomon can haul me
away,”
I.also met hero Mr. W. H. Mitchell,
former President of tho Mobilo &
Girard Railroad, who is looking as
well as a man can look, and desires
to be remembered to all his old
friends, especially his former em
ployees on that road.
Messrs. Smith & Son, of Rome, are
building a fine steamboat to run tue
Etowah river. Everything was made
here except the machinery and boil
ers. Mr. James Gifford, formerly of
the Columbus Iron Works, is put
ting in the boilers, and is making a
fine job of it, such as would do any
shop credit. Mr. Gifford is now car
rying on the boiler making business
in Atlanta. Titus we see Colntnbus
losing her citizens one by one, caused
solely by the ruinous rates of freight
charged by the railroads leading from
it. But there is no bairn in Gillead
for the sore, unless Columbus can
build another road to Atlanta or
some other point.
The city of Rome held her munic
ipal election to-day, and such a
scramble for office I never saw. Mr.
Johnson, the present incumbent, was
re-elected Mayor by a small majority.
One of the Council was elected by a
scratch-two majority. Everything
passed off quietly without a returning
board, but I am afraid Grant will
hear of it and have the election in
vestigated. Yours, Arc.,
Juno.

Washington, December 5,1870.
The Democratic side of the House
of Representatives was filled before
the Republican side, on the morning
of the 4th. In the galleries and lob
bies was the usual overflow. Mem
bers who havo climbed or been
"boosted” into national reputation
were the centres of groups of admir
ing friends on the floor, or of a
plunging fire of eyes and lorgnettes
from the gallery. The Governor
elect of Indiana, (Blue Jeans) who
hail come to introduce his successor,
Mr. Humphries, was conspicuous
botli on account of his stature and
csruleau hue. He bore his honors
and received congratulations with
the easy grace of a hero worthy of
victory, not in tho least annoyed
when an old half-witted woman,
with cork-screw ringlets, and striped
shawl, a chronic lobbyist here, but
ton-holed him, while tho gallery and
half the members looked on in
amusement and edification. This
was before the House had been call
ed to order. Alex Stephens sat with
his hatren, engaged in earnest con
versation with Fernando Wood.
Everybody seemed to be congratula
ting Judge Holman of Indiana, but,
whether it was because his district
had decided he was too good to be
sent to the Forty-fifth Congress, or,
whether because through the election
of Mr. Randall as Speaker, he is pro
moted to the chairmanship of the
Committee on Appropriations, is not
important; but let inesay enpassant,
that chair is now filled by the most
careful and judicial economist, with
which Providence, in hard times,
ever blessed an almost bankrupt
country. Chandler’s margin for
campaign assessments will grow
daily less, and tho army of occupa
tion in South Carolina, as well as
many of the army of office holders,
will have to live on wind uncrammed
even with promises. Congress, it is
said, holds the parse strings,| but
something more is meant when it
can be said the purse strings are held
through Holman. Tho very cut of
his face makes claim agents and lob
byists shako with despair.
Mr. Randall sat quietly in his
chair, the picture of good health and
infinite satisfaction. The disappoint
ed candidates for Speaker were evi
dently but little cast. down. Sunset
Cox was eheery; Mr. Saylor serene
and affable; Fernando Wood rigid;
while Mr. Morrison wore a stern ex
pression that boded something more
than Sunday school diversion in this
Congress. Indeed I may say the en
tire Democratic side resembles Mr.
Morrison in this respect.
Conspicuous on the floor, in con
versation with the able young mem
ber from Ohio, Mr. Southard, was
Wm. Uell.jr., the Ohio Democratic
candidate in the close election, last
fall, that went so far towards decid
ing the Presidential contest. Ben
Hill, of Georgia, lolled as usual (he
never sits) in his chair, and Henry
Wntterson moved about restlessly
over the floor, more observed than
some members who have had leases
of years in which to make themselves
notorious or famous.
At 12 m. precisely, the Clerk rapped
the House to order and began to call
the roll of the members by States,
geographically, 'commencing with
Maine. This work was no sooner
concluded than the two parties “went
at it,” fiercely but decorously, on the
Presidential question. It came abouh
in this way:
Mr. Banks, hoary if not venerable
parliamentarian, offered the creden
tials of Mr. Belford, Republican
member elect from Colorado, and,
holding up his certificate with its gilt
seal, moved that he be sworn in. Mr.
Holman, the stubbornest Democrat
on the floor, said, “Let’s elect a
Speaker ttrst,” or words to that effect;
and, after many remarks on both
sides, he had his way—for he had the
majority—and in all war, (voting is
simply war by arbitration,) Provi
dence favors the majority, or, as
Gen. Moreau (not Napoleon) said,
"the dense battalions.” Then Mr.
Cox nominated Mr. Randall for
Speaker, and Mr. McCreary nomi
nated Mr. Garfield. Mr. Randall was
elected and conducted to the Speak
er’s chair, where ho made a remark
able speech, concluding with the
words, “Let us forget that we are
party adherents, remembering only
that we are American citizens, with a
country to save which may be lost if
unauthorized and unconstitutional
acts on the part of Executive officers
be not frowned down at once with
relentless and unsparing condemna
tion.”
The loud applause with which these
words were received on tho floor and
in the gallery indicated, beyond ques
tion, the Long Parliament temper of
the House and the aroused sympathy
of the people.
Then I hastened over to the repor
ters’ gallery of the Senate, where I
saw but little. The Senate had ad
mitted the two Colorado Senators,
called the attention of the committee
on elections to tho Southern muddle,
and adjourned. A score of Senators
still lingered. Senator Morton, dark
browed and terrible, sat, talking to
Senator Blaine. Boutwell talked with
Edmonds, while Bayard, of Dela
ware, and Stevenson, of Kentucky,
conversed earnestly If we only
knew what these gentlemen dare to
say to each other, it would make
more interesting reading in this cri
sis than theirqualifted and guarded
speeches. C. A. S.

The excitement of the hour is not
confined to the House. In the Sen
ate to-day the discussion was most
vigorous, and the countenances and
actions of Senators speaking and lis
tening showed that ft was with diffi
culty they controlled themselves.
Senator Sherman labored under such
strong feelings that it seemed almost
Impossible sometimes for him to ex
press himself. His words crowded
up faster than he could utter them.
Bogy lost control of himself, and
once or twice excitedly ejaculated, as
statements wore made by Sherman :
“I know better! I know hotter!”
But in the general earnestness no no
tice was taken of tho interruption.
Bayard could not sit still, but ner
vously paced the floor, while the let
ter writing and private business, such
as is usually transacted during de
bate, was'entirely dropped. Theex
citemeut shows uo sign of fulling off,
but, on the contrary, steadily In
creases. and the culmination cannot
be far distant.
FIRMNESS OF THE DEMOCRATS.
Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.J
The feeling at the Democratic cau
cus last night was almost universal
that it was the duty of the House to
take a firm stand against tho conspi
racy to count in Hayes. “Let what
will come,” as Proctor Knott ex
pressed it to-night, “the question is
simply whether tho returns of tho
Returning Boards of Louisiana and
Florida are the returns of the votes
of those States or of the Republican
members of those boards.”
It is manifest that the Senate will
hold that it is the vote of tite States.
The House will certainly hold that it
is not, if the reports of its special
committees shall sustain the pub
lished facts. What will happen in
that event no one pretends to fore
tell to-night, hut in all faces a deep
feelingef anxiety is manifest. No
thing definite is likely to be done
until after the holiday recess, when
the reports of the special committees
will probably be in.
