THE DAILY TIMES, JOHN H. MARTIN, - - - Mltor. CoUnubu< <'**. THURSDAY ..M A.BCH 1. IT. LARGEST (REGULATION Ik, CMIIM At|**w nd Tr.ltlu, mt CwlwWwd, The proceedinjis of yesterday in the House indicate that the "filibus ters”. few not sufficiently strong to prevent the conclusion of the count before Saturday. 3 ,i. TnR HouW Committee on Naval Affairs have made u report strongly recommending thopassage of the bill ifiO.UOO to equip an ex pedition to the Arctic Seas, on the colonization plan proposed by Capt.. Howgate. ,4-., ,I>. , a. Two ootton merchants of Savan nah, Joseph Ehlen.and H, Kuhne, had a duel In a street or that city on Monday, exchanging seven or eight pistol shots. Mr. Kuhne was quite seriously, and Mr. Ehlen not so se verely wounded. They quarreled about a trivial matter. The New York Tribune and Times charge that Senator Oonkling has been coquetting with the Democrats, holding secret conferences with Dan Voorhees, Speaker ltundall and others. They do not pretend to be Informed as to what occurred in these conferences, but they are evi dently very susploious. The Hartford Times says that the country can endure the political result far better than it can afford this soilure of the Court—a judicial tribunal which has stood the highest in the world. Party failures and successes pass like the breeze; but the degradation and the injury which the court has sustained will be per manent. An eminent New York physician, who has attended manycasos of the peculiar fever resulting from visiting the. bentennlal, believes that the disease was caused by the presence of fortmites in certaiu articles on exhibition, which had been brought from some of the worst plegue spots on earth, and be has fears that other types of fevers, hitherto unknown to us, may follow as a result of the ex hibition. Thb Montgomery Journal under stands that the project ot construct ing a narrow gauge railroad between Montgomery and Troy, Ala., is about to be revived. Anew effort is tp be made to raise the necessary subscrip tions. 'The Journal advocates the road as a means of preventing Co lumbus securing the trade of Pike, Coffee, Dale and other Alabama oouptles, liCt us keep an eye on the movements of our jealous neighbors. Gov. Hendricks has said to a news paper representative that the Electo ral Commission, having gone accord ing to the letter of the law, the result is the election of Hayes and Wheeler. He does hot belleve tlie Commission acted according to the spirit of the law, and says the longer the country thinks of its action the moth it will be condemned. The Governor inti mates That the present defeat will inure.to the future benefit of the De mocracy, and h e Is opposed to filibus tering on the part>f Democrats. The tone of 4he article which we copied the oilier day from the Alba ny Argus made us doubt Mr. Tilden’s approval of the Electoral Commission bill. The Ciacinaati Enquirer says positively on this point: It is due Mr, Tilden to say that he never per sonaliy had faith in the Electoral Commission. He did not encourage its Creation, as has been alleged. He Wanted his case to rest with the House of Representatives in a con test with the Sonate, but it Was not becoming in him to electioneer. Mr. Tilden has been swindled by his best friends and “ndvteers.” Mr. Hewitt, who is regarded as one tif tjie prime movers of the Electoral Commission scheme, charges that the Republican members of the Congres sional Committee which agreed upon the bill gave It as their opinion and expectation that the Commission would go behind the returns. In a speech in the House, the other day, Mr. Hewitt declared that Mr. Hoar, especially, promised that his pereo naltnfluenoe should bo used, in that direction. Hoar wriggled under the charge, and re touted smartly, but did not deny it, Asa member Of the Commission, he voted without varia tion that it had no power to go behind the returns! SUING) MKK UWTU. MJ-s. Ella B. Washington, a great grfind-ntece ol the first President of iheDuited States, and the widow of another near relative of the “Father of his Country, ’ who lived formerly ia Virginia, having become impover ished by the late war, was compelled to part with many valuable relies of her illustrious ancestors, the State of -Sew York becoming the purchaser of many of these, at a price of *20,- 000. Colonel Walter S. Church was employed by her ,to collect the money due from the State, and as she al leges did collect tbe whole amount, but has only paid to her *10.606 there of, leaving still due *0,394, which with the interest now amounts to 813,000. for which she brings suit. About tan days ago Justice Dykrnan, of the Brooklyn Supreme Court, granted an order of arrest against Church, and on tbe 20th instant he was arrested thereon at Albany and held in *15,000 bail. The return to the order of arrest, with Mrs. Wash ington’s uffidavit. were filed in tbe County Clerk’s offloe, Brooklyn, yes terday morning.—lV. Y. Worhl, 25. Life is but short, but we should do all we cna to prolong it. Check a cough or oold at once and use an old reliableremedy, such as Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup. If we ameliorate the condition of our country morally, as well as.finan cially, we should watch our neigh bor’s interest as well as our own. THE CONSTITUTIONAI. CONVENTION. Gov. Colquitt has issued his proc lamation in accordance with the late act of the Legislature, ordering an election to be held in the several oounties of Georgia, on the second Tuesday in June next, for delegates to a Constitutional Convention, At the same time the people are called upon to vote on the question of call ing the Convention, by having print ed or written on their ballots the word "Convention” or the words “No Convention." ,! The.failure of the Legislature at Its late session to do anything of con sequence in the way of retrenchment, makes it almost imperative that the people should take the matter in hand as quickly us possible. There oever was a Legislature in Georgia which commenced its session with K fairer promise of reform in this re spent. The spirit of retrenchment seemed to be the ruling feeling; the Governor urgently recommended it in his inaugural address; an extraor dinary committee on Retrenchment was raised; the Governor was called upon to state more specifically the branches of the public service to which he thought the pruning knife might be judiciously and economical ly applied, and this he did in a special message, indicating unneces sary expenses which no one seemed to contend for. And yet, after All this, the Legislature did little or nothing to reduce the expenses of the State government or the rate of State taxation. The mountain cer tainly labored, but the mouse that was produced Is not satisfactory to the people. The failure, under such circum stances, affords very little ground for hope that the reform and retrench ment desired can be secured through Legislative action. It may be that many members, regarding the call of a Convention as certain, determined to devolve the whole responsibility upon that body. At all events, the Convention affords another opportu nity to secure the needed retrench ment, and we hope that the call will be sustained. Let no local or speoial questions influence opposition to it, but.let the people generally vote for the Convention, trusting to tbo wis dom, personal disinterestedness, and patriotism of its members to dispose properly of all questions that may come before it. To mako sure of this we should elect only the best and most trust worthy men as delegates. Happily, perhaps, the districts are large; and the little local managers who often control county meetings will have a a field too big for such operations. It Is not a reasonable supposition that such men can get the support of a Congressional district embracing twelve to twenty counties and one hundred thousand inhabitants. Such a field and such a constituency will be apt to require the services of men who have a reputation outside of their own oounties, and whose pop ularity is not restricted to the adroit management of one meeting or to combinations in one county. The opportunity is a very favorable one for Georgia to assemble in Conven tion her best and wisest men, and for them to frame for her an organ io law that will be a model and a bless ing—a safeguard of the rights of all interests and classes and a barrier against all the dangers that may threaten the peace or prosperity of the community. I.OI'ISIAN A AM) SOUTH IAK OI.IN A. Our dispatches speak of a well defined understanding at Washington thathelther Grant nor Hayes will interfere with the Nicholis and Hampton governments. The Demo crats regard the agreement to this effect as binding as a treaty; the Re publicans call it only an understand ing, but all parties say that the ne cessities of Hayes’ administration will compel it to pursue this course. We have never doubted that this would be the result of the contests In those States, and have several times so expressed otrselves. And why do we see the anomally of the election of Democratic State governments in these two States, as well as in Florida, while the Electo ral votes of all three aro given to the Republicans ? The reason is obvious. Gen. Grant pithily expressed it,a few days ago, in one of his talks about South Carolina. It was because the Democrats of those States would not have or submit to the fraudulent governments set up by the returning boards. They would not pay taxes to them, nor submit to any process issued by tbeir authority. Had tho Democrats of the wholo Union as resolutely insisted on the right of Tilden and Hendricks to their Elec roral votes, they would have obtained them, for no one can deny tbat if Nicholis carried Louisiana, and Drew Florida, Tilden also carried those States. The Democrats will secure their State governments by unflinch ingly standing up for their rights; they lost their Electoral votes by submitting to compromise or arbi tration. Retrenchment and reform are the watchwords in the Nebraska Legisla ture. The Omaha Bee thus illustrates the prevailing spirit: "In one of the committee rooms six gas-jets wore burning. Says Mr. Creighton to the attendant : ‘Bring in a lamp and put out that gas. The State can’t stand thik expense.’ The order was obeyed. Says Van Wyck: ‘Here, bring in a caudle; this is too expensive; the State can’t stand it.' Creighton, who was bound to be ahead in the matter of reform and economy, ‘saw’ Van Wyck and ‘went him one bet ter.’ Looking out of the window, he said? ’Blow out that candle. The moon is bright enough for us?” Van Wyck caved.” On the Southern Pacific Railroad, 340 miles south of San Francisco, the track, after passing through a tunnel, winds around the mountain, and crosses itself directly over the tunnel, thuß gaining a height of 78 feet in a distance of 3,79!5 feet. GEORGIA ON THE CRISIS. RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THE LEGIS LATURE. The following preamble and reso lutions were introduced In the House of Representatives on the Slid day of February, the birth day of Washington, and were unanimously adopted by both houses: “we, the representatives of the people of Georgia in General Assem bly met, deem it a duty which we owe to ourselves, our Common coun try and posterity, to utter a voice of condemnation us well as of warning, in view of the stute of republic. The disregard which for years has been shown for the strict letter of the law has naturally degenerated Into a dis regard and defiance of Its spirit and we now stand confronted with tre mendous peril to liberty itself. Our servants have become our masters and neither the laws nor the constitu tion caq protect us. Could reason be left free to combat error and the peo ple to effect reforms where they are needed, we should be hopeful of the future. Rut the facts of our present political history declare that, the very safeguards of the ballot have been taken away from us by the wicked instrumentalities which have been devised for the express purpose of robbing the people of power and free suffruge, wo are pow erless to redress our wrongs. The patriotic of all parties can but feel how earnest the effort was in our Re cent Presidential election to redress the evils which were afflicting the country by a peaceful and honest use of the ballot, and the whole world proves how a wicked oligarchy has defeated the purpose. If fraud no longer vitiates the actions of men or States .then indeed, are we hopeless of the corrupt and lawless who now hold power and may hold It forever. If the highest tribunal in our land which we have fondly looked to as the last stronghold of freedom has declared that frauds on liberty and law must stand unreversed and. irre versible. then, indeed, are wea doom ed people. With the laws trampled upon, the name of State sovereignty a byword of reproach, governments, in the South, at, least, set up and pulled down at will, and the founda tion of justioe itself polluted, it does seem that the overthrow of our com mon government is immineut. In the present state of tbo republic the voice of every patriot is needed; apathy is a crime, aud silent acqui escence in the conspiracy against our liberties is ruin. ‘■Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assem bly met, That we hereby declare it to be the sense of this assembly as well as the firm belief of the people of Georgia, that Samuel J. Tilden was fairly elected President of the United Slates for the ensuing four years,and that Thomas A. Hendricks was elect ed for the same term Vice President, and if they shall fail of a peceful in auguration, then will the people of the United States have been defraud ed of their choice and a fatal blow be given to pufflrie honor and to the stability and integrity of the Govern ment. “Resolved, by the authority afore said, that the General Assembly views with alarm and most decided condemnation, and hereby enters its solemn protest against the interfer ence of the authorities of the Gener al Government with the full exercise of the ballot in the several States, whether that interference is mani fested in the control of returning boards, or in the presence of United States troops at the polls, or in the arbitrary elevation of its favorites to supreme power in place of those chosen by the people.

At the municipal election in Phila delphia, on Tuesday, over 127,000 votes were cast, the largest vote ever cast at a municipal election, and the majority for Stokely. Republican, for Mayor, was only 2,775 over Caven, Independent, although Hayes’ ma jority at the election in November was over 15,000. The Times, Inde pendent Republican, says: “Caven received 5,000 more honest, legal votes than Stokley,” and declares tnat the latter is returned elected by “unblushing frauds.” The Fress, Republican, says: “The result leaves us in possession of the citadel, bgt it also leaves us in possession of many admonitions,” and warns the party that it must mend its ways in locul affairs. The Public Ledger says the election resulted iu quite a hand some gain of a better class of coun cilmen. It would be considered too funny for any humorous writer to say that a clergyman was in danger of dis missal from his church because he gave the time that ought to be spent in polishing up his sermons to the work of feediug the hungry, clothing the naked, and looking after the lost sheep, so that the rich were neglected for the sake of the poor. But these accusations are made, not jocularly, but gravely, against the Rev. Mr. Putnuin. of Jersey City Heights, by the leading members of his church. Once, when he had been shown the error of his ways in the matters re ferredto.be promised amendment; but he soon fell again into Christian habits. He hqw acknowledges tbe truth of the charges brought against him, and the efforts to turn him out of his church on account of them have become more determined than ever. A Sun reporter, who hunted Mr. Putnam up, caught him in the very act of aiding a sick man and directing him to a hospital which is under his charge. It is rather an interesting case iu these times.— Few York Sun. Mr. Chather, editor of the Southern jEgis, the Alabama Probabilities, publishes the following weather bulletin for March: About 5-8 cool, preceded and fol lowed by high windsand heavy rains. About 19-23 equinoctial climax storms, rain, cold, hail and snow. For this latltute, during the first period there will be a full display of heavy clouds and probably heavy rains, with a good chance for con tinued high waters. During the second period for this latitude look out for very blustery weather, cold, snow and rain. From a Catholic exchange we cut the following item: In a simple vil lage Catholic Churoh at Riddata, in Prussia, a most remarkable pulpit can be seen. Besides its exquisite beauty and rich gliding it has quite a historical interest. It is the tri umphal chariot of King John Sobies kie, the hero who delivered Vienna in 1638 from the besieging Turks. The chariot was found among the spoils left by the conquered Mussul mans. Afterwards it was presented by Field-Marshal von Kelist to the village Church, after which the nec essary alterations were made to change it to a pulpit. Important Cnnfrrrnre of Noutltrrn Republicans. An important conference of Southern Republicans was held at Washington on Wednesday night last with a view to the strengthening of the party in the South ern States under the anticipated incoming of the administration of Gov. Hayes. Some twenty gentlemen were present, representing the Stales of Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and Flori da. It was agreed that the name of Sen ator Alcorn of Mississippi, should be presented fora Cabinet position, and that in the distribution of officers in the South it should he recommended to Gov. Hayes to aeket men in whom the people could confide aa Identified with them, and as men of character and honesty. It was further determined that, as one essential requirement to the building up of an administration party in the South composed iu part of the properly and intelligence of that section, that the car pet buggers must be ignored, and that if any o! them had any such claims as en titled them to recognilion they could be provided lor in Washington by Consul ships aboard. Those who participated in the conference have been in consultation with gentlemen who arc understood to be authorized to represent Governor ilayes, audit was stated that assurances have been received that'Governor Hayes was in full accord with the spirit of the meet ing.—Baltimore Suit.

Asa World reporter was chatting with a druggist on Ninth avenue the conver sation was interrupted by the entrance of a rather pretty young girl with a very pale tace, plainly and neatly dressed. She hesitated at the door a few moments, then came in with a rush, as if desirous of entering ere she could change her mind. Going to the dark end of the shop she waited for the druggist to move towards her and then carried on with him an animated conversation in whis pers. What she asked he evidently at first refused to give; then, though she tried to conceal her face, it could be seen that she was pleading with him—explain ing, promising; then, with apparent re luctance and apparently many injunc tions, he made up and gave her a little package of powder, which, after paying for, she thrust into her bosom. Then she hurried out still averting her face, which was curiously red and pale by turns. “There is a tradegy in that girl’s face,” said the reporter. “Quite probably. She wanted arsenic.” “Which of course—” “I did not give her. She wants it to poison rats with, she says. Couldn’t un derstand she should he relusedit without a doctor’s order, and wouldn’t give her name and address. Finally on her prom ising to he very careful iu using it and not to let it fall iu the way of any human beings, I gave her what she believes to be arsenic. You saw how she hurried away?” “Yes. Does she live near here?” “Ol course not. She comes from the east side. If she lived iu this vicinity she would go over te some place on Third avenue. She will go home and take what I gave her and it will make her droadfully sick. She will hardly have swallowed it when she will repent and want to live, and she will live and not try suicide again. I see two or three women of that sort every week and as many more who come for other drugs not aimed at their own life. If I didn’t give them something they would go on and find some of the idiots abounding in our business who would be more credu lous or less conscientious. When a wo man really wishes to commit suicide she Jumps into the river. Cutting her throat or blowing out her brains messes lie corpse so that she doesn’t like it; besides, she is afraid of physical pain,and if she takes poison it is usually in a moment of passion or despair, and in the majority of instance no sooner has she swallowed it than the love of life reasserts itself.
