WASHINGTON NEWS.
Washington, Eeb. 28.—Senor Gana,

The Treasury has called in ten
millions of bonds, five twenties, un
der the act of 3d March, 1865, dated
Nov. 1, 1865. Interest leases 28th day

LOUISIANA AND SOUTH CAROLINA.
An Understanding that they are to be
Allowed to Settle their own
Affairs.
Washington, Feb. 28. The Repub
lican managers for Gov. Hayes will
give no formal promise of the recog
nition of the Nicholls government,
as that would be crushing Packard
out, but they are willing to let his
government fall to pieces, with the
reservation that Packard aud his'
followers shall not be prosecuted or
persecuted.
There is a tacit understanding that
the Senatorial delegation shall not
be utterly objectionable to the major
ity of the Serrate."
Republican leaders say the situa
tion mSouth Carolina is now simple,
as no status quo orders from Wash
ington interfere with the result
which ail seem tadesire.
The friends of the Nicholls govern
ment here assert that the President
has promised to withdraw his status
quo orders upon proclamation of the
vote. This is founded upon personal
pledges which may or may not be car
ried out. The Republicans call it an
understanding; the Democrats seem
to claim for it the sanctity of a
treaty. It is considered on all hands
as the ODly honorable way out of the
difficulty, aud the one which public
opinion will compel the incoming
administration to take.
Gov. Penn and Col. Roberta of the
Times, called on President Grant.
They gave no details, beyond perfect
satisfaction with the views of the
President. It now seems certain the
programme involves the withdrawal
of troops to their barracks, with
orders to Gen. Augor to carefully
prevent riot and bloodshed. Tills is
tantamount to the superceding of
orders regarding the status quo.
THE QUO WARRANTO CASE NOT DECIDED
VET.
Columbia, S. C., February 28.—The
Supreme Court met this morning,
but without announcing any decision
in the habeas corpus case of Tilda
Norris, the convict pardoned by Gen.
Hampton, involving the question as
to whether he is Governor, adjourned
over till Friday at 2 p. M., when a
decision is confidently expected.

Russian array will shortly be demob

Lord Derby’s suggestion that a
years time be granted the Porte to
prove the security of its promises of
reform, meets with increasing favor.
The general aspect of affairs is de
cidedly peaceable.
The statement that Russia is press
ing for an answer to Prince Gortscha
koff’s circular is without foundation.
The Powers have appealed, on the
contrary, to have their replies post
poned, with her approval. The Czar’s
Government is believed to be of the
opinion that after tira issue of the
circular an unfavorable reply from
any of the Powers would seem to
compel it to a course of action which
might not bow be prudent, and it is
said to be desirous of coming to a
resolution unfettered by such consid
erations.

and countesancing resistance, on the
part of the Democratic members, to

that the proceedings were tainted

tirorgla Y. M. C. Association,
THIRD ANNUAL SESSION.
Gainesville, Ga., Fob. 20, 1877.
|To the, Y.M. C. Associations and Evan
gelUxti Churches in Georgia:
Dear Brethren— The third annual
session of the State Association of
the Young Men’s Christian Associa
tions of Georgia will be held in New
nan, on the 18th of April, 1877. You
are most cordially invited to send
delegates to this meeting. TheNow
nan Association will extend a hearty
welcome to all delegates and visitors,
and entertain them duriug the ses
sion of the State Association,
law of representation.
Each local Association is entitled to
two delegates for the first 25 mem
bers or fraeiiou thereof, and one del
egate f6r each additional 25 members
or fraction thereof.
Churches in localities where no As
sociation has been organized are in
vited to send at least one representa
tive, who will be entitled to all the
privileges qf membership, except vo
ting for officers. A certificate from
the pastor or clerk of a church will
be a sufficient credential for repre
sentatives from churches not con
nected with a Y. M. C. A.
Delegates from Y. M. C. Associa
tions should have a certificate from
the Recording tfeeretary of their As
sociation.
The railroads in the State will pass
delegates at half rates—pay full fare
goiug, and return on certificate of
the State Association’s Secretary, ex
cept delegates over the Georgia Road
and the Augusta & Macon Road ; t hey
must apply to the agents from whom
they buy tickets for a return ticket.
The meeting will be held in the
new hull of the Newman Association.
The first service Will be at 8 P. m.,
Wednesday, April 18th, conducted
by G. G. Eekford, of the Atlanta As
sociation. The second service will
commence at 9 a. m., Thursday,
April 19th, conducted by S. A. Tug
gert, to close at 10 a. m., at which
hour the business meeting will begin
—Walter R. Brown, of Atlanta, Presi
dent of the State Association, pre
siding.
The Business Committee will ar
range the topics to bo discussed.
The following questions will doubt
less be before the Association : Y. M.
C. A. work in cities; Y. M. C. A.
work in towns; how best to extend
the work into new territory.
The singing will be in charge of J.
W. Wallace and S. A. Taggert.
T. R. Crew and S. A. Taggert, of
the International Executive Commit
tee, and Maj. Hardie, E. W. Lovelace
and probably other distinguished
workers, will be with us at Newnau.
Appoint delegates at once and ~ *nd
their names to John E. Earnest, New
nan, Ga., so that homes may be as
signed them. The Newnan Associa
tion is alive to the interest of Y. M.
C. A. work, and is anxious to see
every*Association in the State repre
sented.
The call, we feel, is from the Lord
of the harvest. The need of conse
crated workers to co-operate with the
ministry in Christ’s vineyard is deep
ly felt. The obligations resting upon
young men were never greater. The
commission of the Lord Jesus, the
demand of the churches, the waiting
masses without hope in Christ, the
signal blessing of the Holy Spirit
during the past year, and the possi
bilities of the immediate future, are
sufficient motives to insure a large
attendance, the wisest counsels, aud
the most devoted service.
For further information, address
M. J. Cofer, Gainesville, Ga.
In the name of Christ we send this
invitation. Fraternally,

Pinntln? Corn—Quick Germination.
An Illinois paper says : Dr. Chara
berlaiu’s practical experiments
demonstrated that nearly half the
time may be saved in germinating
the seed by the use of chloride of
lime. He had four boxes in his of
fice. In one corn was planted with
out being soatced at all. In the
second was planted corn that was
r soaked in warm water. In the third,
the seed that was soaked in a solu
tion of lime; and in the fourth other
seed had been soaked in a selution
of chloride of lime and coperas in
equal parts. All the seed were plant
ed at the same time, in the same
quantity of soil, and taken from the
same ear. All the boxes had an
equal share of heat and light, neither
being allowed any advantage over
the others. In the first, the seed
showed no sign of germination when
the germs were visible in the second,
when green blades were peeping
from the ground in the third; and
when the blades were between two
and three inches high in the fourth.
Another fact of some importance
may also be mentioned; The
coperas used in soaking will prevent
the birds, squirreds, worms &0., from
eating the seed.
Dr. Chamberlain assured the editor
of the paper that one pound of the
chloride of lime and one pound of
coperas, in water, will soak enougli
seed for twenty acres. The cost will
not be over twenty-five cents. If
corn that is not soaked comes up
badly, it is important to replant as
early as possible; and when thus
soaked will catch up with the corn
first planted. This soaking will be
of great advantage, too, when from
any cause the corn may be planted
late.
It will be well for farmers to try
this experiment and plant in accor
dance with it if it shall be fnuud to
be as represented by Dr. Chamber
lain.

Consumers of kerosene oil will be in
terested in hearing that the great petro
leum combination has gone to pieces, so
far as Canada is concerned. Forty refin
ers of the Dominion have been thus set at
liberty to raanuiartnre for the Canadian
market, and the price there will immedi
ately fall at least 16 cents a gallon. It is
not probable, therefore, that 40 cents can
much longer be extorted from our own
people for 2j> cent oil, as this important
change in the Canadian trade Will not act
as a tonic on the moribund monopoly.
IIIN INAITUVUAL ADDRESS.
RETURNING BOARD HAYES, ESQ.. RETURNS
THANKS FOR THE FRAUDULENT
PRESIDENCY.
From the Now York Ban.)
It Is assumed that the policy of the
fraudulent President, will be concilia
tion, after the manner of the cock
among the cattle, who said, “Don’t
let us tread upon saoh other, gentle
men!” In furtherance of this pur
pose, we suppose, the first copy of
R. B, Hayes Inaugural Address has
been presented to the Sun in advance
of all other papers. It Is as follows:
Fellow Citizens: The first duty
of a man who has been elevated to a
high office is to reiurn thanks to
those by whom he has beeu made
successful. Accordingly, I begin
with expressing mv profounaeet
sense of gratitude to Mr. J. Madison
Wells and his three associates, who,
by such a rare exercise of Ingenuity,
audacity and fidelity, were enabled
to turn a majority of 8,000 against me
in Louisiana into a majority of 4,000
in my favor. The feat is altogether
unparalleled in political history, and
Shall receive, as it deserves, a high
reward.
I must also remember the services
of the illustrious High-Low Commis
sion, which, sworn to ascertain what
Electors were duly appointed in each
State, stuck so manfully together in
the noble resolve that no evidence
should be taken to prove that any
body was elected anywhore except
the persons who cast their votes for
me. Where the merit was so impar
tially distributed, it might be invidi
ous to single out particular individu
als for honorable mention ; but I can
not refrain from extolling the names
of O. P. Morton (Only for Party Mor
ton), who, two years ago, introduced
a bill authorizing either House of
Congress to reject the Electoral vote
of a Htate, but, as a Commissioner,
steadily insisted that neither House
could go behind the returns, where
they were in my favor; also G. F.
Edmunds (Great Fraud Edmunds),
who, two years ago. denounced the
ever-blessed Returning Board of Lou
isiana as “a contrivance of thieves,”
aud not fit to be regarded in seating
u Senator, but who asserts that it is
to be sacredly regarded in seatiug a
President ; and, finally, the immortal
Jack Buusby—l mean Joe Bradley—
who, chosen as umpire in a Board
equally divided, always voted on my
side. His fidelity cun never be for
gotten.
Let me. besides, compliment the
perspicacity and consistency of the
Senate, which, having voted twice for
Morton’s bill, allowing either House
to throw out an Electoral vote, at
length discovered, when it became
necessary to elect me, that it was
highly improper and unconstitution
al for either House even to think of
trampling upon the rights of a State,
especially when it was represented
by a board of knaves and perjurers.
It is no easy matter for a grave body
of Senators to overcome their often
expressed convictions, but in my
ease it was done with tne utmost
facility and without hesitation. As
some of those Senators are soon to
tetiro from their office they may
count upon me, as they have already
counted for me.
Call I forget an enlightened and
faithful press in this moment of high
felicitations? Can I forget the Times,
which for six mouths poured out a
steady stream of scorching abuse of
my opponent, whom only a little
while before it had praised as an
honest and honorable man? Can I
forgot the eminent Field Marshal,
who invented the dodge üboul $2,000,-
000,000 of Southern claims, which
had so much effect in the
canvass? Cun I forget the Even
ing Post of New York, which for
fifty years having steadily battled
for certain principles, wltich my op
ponent represented better than any
other man in the Union, and which
I did not represent, suddenly desert
ed them to take up my cause? What
renders this case of desertion the
more magnanimous is that the three
editors of that journal, who alone
bad given it any influence, were the
intimate aud life-long personal
friends of my opponent. Itis true, its
services were feeble, but so conspicu
ous a disregard, for my sake, -of
public and private decency ought to
be acknowledged by a small share of
the official patronage. Great credit
is also due to the New York Tribune,
which, after contending in 1872 that
the country was only to be saved by
the overthrow of the Republican
party, became the champion of inde
pendent journalism, but is now hap
pily converted to a high sense of
public virtue and party fidelity by
the influence of an eminent gambler
of Wall street-my friend, Mr. Juy
Gould. As our parry is the party of
moral ideas and immoral practices,
it can have no fitter organ thau this
journal, which towers to the skies,
but sells liquor in the basement.
Having thus returned my thanks
to those to whom I am chiefly in
debted for my place by one vote,
against a general popular majority
of 262,000, against a majority of 1,000,-
000 among the white ettizeus of the
country, against a majority of twen
ty-one votes, and against u decided
majority in the two stolen States
that were counted for me, it might
be expected of me to announce tuy
policy for the future. But I have
not yet consulted with Chandler,
Morton or Wells, and do not desire
to be premature. As, however, while
I was in Congress, I voted for every
bill to inflate the currency, for every
subsidy to the gigantic railroad cor
porations, for nearly every job, and
for all Thad Bievens’ extremest
measures of Southern oppression,
you may infer that I am not going
to forget my old friends, whatever
I, or any body else may say to the
contrary.

aud as a remedy for colds, and bow

HOW TWO CITIZENS SAVED A MOTHER AND
CHILD FROM A BURNING HOUSE.
At 11 o’clock yesterday morning the
premises on the fourth floor of No. 168
West Thirty-first street were discovered
to be on fire, and before the engines arriv
ed jets of flames were seen issuing through
the roof and windows of the house. The
crowd which gathered was horrified at the
appearance at one of the windows in the
midst of the flames of a woman bearing
in her arms a child. She seemed to have
been penned in by the tire, and, rather
than meet death in tiiat form, had resolv
ed to throw her child from the window
and then to follow. She was holding the
child by the dress and was preparing to
let it drop when she was hindered in her
design by a shout, from the assembled
crowd below. John Scanlon, of the Ele
vated Stables; opposite with, his partner
John MeGoldriek, bushed through the
throng aud climbed the half-burned stair
case with the help of the balustrade, which
still stood. Just as the woman in despair
was balancing on the window mil, the two
men, with their hair burned away and
their faces blistered appeared behind her
amid a great shout from the crowd, and
drew her in. They brought mother and
child out safe, though both men and the
woman were severely burned. She is a
Mrs. Corrigan, and lost all her furniture by
the fire. The child was unharmed. N- Y.
paper.
A Touch of Pride.
It was a cold night in the winter.
The wind blew and the snow wus whirled
furiously about, seeking to hide itself
beneath cloaks and hoods, and in every
hair of those that were out. A distin
guished lecturer was to speak, and not
withstanding the storm the villiagers
ventured forth to hear him. William
Annesley buttoned up to his chin in his
thick overcoat, accompanied his mother.
It wat difficult to walk through the
new fallen snow, against the piercing
wind, and William said to his mother:
“Couldn’t you walk more easily if you
took my arm?”
“Perhaps I could,” his mother replied,
as she pul her arm through his and drew
up as close as possible to him. Together
they breasted the storm, the mother and
the boy who had once been carried in
her arms but who has now, grown up so
tail that she could lean on his. They
had not walked fur before he said to
her :
“1 am very proud to-night."
“Proud that you gfcin take care of
me ?”
“This is the first time you have ever
leaned on me” said the happy hoy.
There will be few liours in that child’s
life of more exalted pleasure than lie en
joyed that eveningl if he should live to
an old age, and should in his manhood
lovingly provide for her who watched
over him in helpless infancy. It was
noble pride that made his mother love
him, if possible more than ever, aud made
her pray for him with more earnestness,
thankful for his devoted love and hope
ful for his future. There is no more
beautiful right thau affectionate, devoted,
obedient children. I aur sure that He
who commanded children to love their
fathers and their mothers must look upon
such with pleasure. May He bless every
boy whose heart is filled with ambition
to be a blessing and “start to his jnother."
Political Persecution— Petersburg,
Va., February 10, 1877.—The most in
famous presecution for political opinion
that the Presidential campaign has de
veloped occured in this city on yesterday.
Rev. J. Dungee, who figured prominent
ly as a Democratic speaker during the
canvass, 1 attended the Gilfield Baptist
Church, Rev. Henry Williams, Jr., color
ed, pastor. During the services Williams
prayed for all coloied Democrats, denoun
cing them as traitors, and then for Dun
gee personally whom, he said, was a
traitor to God, his race and humanity,
and asked the blessings ot Providence
“lor the Commission which is now count
ing Hayes in.” His congregation were
greatly excited by the harangue, and when
Dungee issued from the church he was
jerred, hooted at and threatened him with
violence. To his firm bearing and cour
age he is indebted for safety. The con
duct of Williams is generally denounced
by the whites, and it is not improbable
that be will be called to account for his
incendiary language by the next grand
jury.

A Tribune special from Washing
ton says a plau is on foot for provid
ing a place for President Grant,
which promises to secure him a dig
nified position and keep hitn still in
the service of the couiitry. It has
long been desired when the rest of
the National debt earne to be funded
that the syndicate assuming the
work should be under American
control. It is now proposed that
some strong New York bank reor
ganized as a national bank, with a
capital of from ten to twenty mil
lions, forth© purpose of conducting
the further operations for refunding
the national debt, with representa
tives ou the board of directors from
all members of the president Syndi
cate. This would give him an occu
pation of dignity with an assured in
come. Ulysses Grant, Jr., has been
ill New York for a day or two, con
sulting with bank officers on the
subject, and there is a strong dispo
sition among some of the moneyed
men with whom the matter origina
ted to carry it through.

Mr, Spurgeon, speaking of clerical
throats, says; “I have heard sur
geons affirm that Dissenting bron
chitis differs from toe Church of
England article. There Is an eccle
siastical twang which is much ad
mired in the Establishment—a sort
of steeple-In-the-throat grandeur—an
aristocratic, theologic, parsonic, su
pernatural, infra-human mouthing
of language and rolling over of
words.” .
A Christian gentleman, a widower,
over 50 years old, free from vices,
rich. This is the Bostonian who ad
vertises for a wife. She must have
intelligence ; she must have position ;
she must Wave good health; she
must be 40 years old. The Christian
gentleman is easily satisfied, for he
says nothing about good temper and
nothing about personal beauty. A
knight so courageous deserves good
luck.

-
PROSPECTUS FOR 1877.
The Favorite and leading Jiownpaper
of the West.
Daily, Tri-Weekly, Semi-Weekly and
Weekly.
THE success of tbs (1 LOBE-DEMOCRAT, line.
the consolidation ot which it ia in fact and in
name the product, has been such as to excite
universal comment. Ita circulation has steadi
ly increased since its first issue, and its general
business prosperity has kept pace with its circu
lation. Thus encouraged, its proprietors are de
termined that in the future no effort will be
spared to keep it in the front rank of journal
ism.
Politically, the GLOBE-DEMOCRAT is a sup
porter of the measures of the Republican party,
believing that organization to be best adapted
by its principles and policioa to perpetuate eur
form of government, and to secure ita adminis
tration in a manner best calculated to promote
the good of ihe country.
The popular demand is not only for an organ
of opinion, but for a history of the times
something that will come fully up to the poet’s
idea of
A map of busy life.
Its fluctuations aud its vast concerns.
In this respect we claim for the GLOBE-DEM
OCRAT a reputation second to that of no journal
in the West, yielding to no rival in our efforts to
obtain the news,and to present the same in an at
tractive shape.
Our aim is to publish a nowspaper adapted to
the wants, tastes and interests of the people of
the Mississippi Valley. To this end we pay es
pecial attention to events happening in Missouri
and the adjoining States—to watch their prog
ress. aud to assist, in so far as we can, in their
development.
The Weekly Globe-Democrat,
Now an Enlarged Octavo of
FIFTY-SIX fOLIMMS,
is emphatically a paper for the People—and cs -
seutially a Family Newspaper. Containing as it
does a complete summary of the latest aud of all
the important news from all parts ot the world;
a number of Editorials on current topics; a care
fully selected and interesting Miscellany; valua
ble matter lor the farmer, housewife, merchant
aud mechanic; the latest and most reliable Live
Stock and Crop Reports; a Financial and Com
mercial Column—long known as complete, and
more reliable than that of any other paper pub
lished in the West; which, with the especial at
tention always given to the progress and the
rapid deveiopement of the resources of the Great
West, can not but make the WEEKLY-GLOBE
DEMOCRATS most welcome viaitor to every
fireside.
