THE COMMISSION BAFFLED
The Only Chance of Adjustment is to Or
ganize the Legislature as Elected
by the People.
Plnchback and Friend* Heady to Holt
from Packard.
New Orleans, April 11.—Yesterday
the Commission met at 16 o’clock,
and heard many delegations, making
strong representations in behalf of
their respective parties. The Com
mission addressed a communication
to each Legislature, requesting in
formation as to the condition of the
judiciary of party, amount of
iax collected, amount of money dis
bursed. and other facts which may
tend to show the actual condition of
the State,
Washington, April 11.—The Her
lid's New Orleans dispatch says per
sons who have visited some of the
sommissioners report that they hold
a private session to-day, at which a
definite proposition will be deter
mined upon, be made to both Gov
srnars. This proposition, while ad
hering to the original plan, will
modify its terms to the extent of
fusing the Legislatures upon the
basis of the supervisors' returns in
stead of the returning board’s. This
plan would give a Democratic major
ity of four on joint ballot.
It is added that Gen. George A.
3heridan will leave to-day for Wash
ington as bearer of dispatches to Mr.
Hayes explaining the necessity of
this modification, without which the
committee despairs of effecting a
settlement.
Pinchback stated in an interview,
that seven of his friends in the Pack
ard house were all ready to go over
to the Nieholls Legislature, and that
they would do so to-morrow or next
day.
The Tribune’s dispatch says : Gov.
Packard, in a conversation yesterday,
stated that he would accept any plan
of compromise which President
Hayes will say he approves. If the
President has none to propose, then
he demands that either Gov. Nieholls
or himself should be promptly recog
nized. The President, he said, has
the right to recognize Nieholls, but
has no right to withhold his hand
and permit the legal government to
be crushed out by force.
The Commission is working hard,
hearing delegations, but making no
progress towards an adjustment.
Charles Foster is quoted that he
desires Gen. Garfield’s election as
Speaker, but that important reasons
compel him to remain in the field.

Southern Hotel, St. Louis, Burnt,
APPALLING LOSS OF LIFE.
St. Lon it), April 11.-The Southern
Hotel was burned at 2 o’clock this
morning, with uppalliug loss of life.
It was fir3t supposed to be 200; now
reduced to 50. Many were killed by
jumping from third, fourth and fifth
story windows.
Kate Ciaxton, the actress, who so
narrowly escaped from the Brook
lyn horror, broke both legs jumping
from the third story.
The fire originated in the upper
story. The windows in the upper
stories were crowded with shrieking
men and women, whom it seemed im
possible to save. A few wore rescued
by ladders placed on the fourth story
portico, but on the other three sides
of the building, bounded by Fifth,
Walnut and Eileu streets, the longest
ladder fell far short of reaching the
windows.
Mr. Peter Blow, son of the former
minister to Brazil, was sleeping in
his room on the Cth floor, and suc
ceeded after strenuous efforts in es
caping with his life and a broken
leg. The building was six stories in
height, and Mr. Blow thinks that
the majority of the inmates of the
two upper stories of the building
must have perished.
Two men, unrecognized, were kill
ed- by jumping from the third story
windows, and a third one was badly
mangled. Five women were rescued
from the sixth story, on the Fourth
street side, by the heroic efforts of
firemen, who, after ascendißg the
patent ladders, succeeded in getting
a rope to the half-suffocated crea
tures.
The fire is said ’to have originated
in the store rooms.
It is supposed forty or fifty were
burned to death directly, or first suf
focated.
Tbe fire originated in a store room
in the basement. It ilrst came
through the ground floor north of
the office, and in ten minutes had as
cended the elevators and rotunda
and spread over the sixth story, oc
cupied by employees, mostly women.
The smoke was so dense in some of
halls that gas jets were extinguish
ed, which rendered egress there to
those most familiar with the build
ing a matter of great difficulty. The
density of the smoke in the halls
drove many guests and boarders back
into their rooms, and they
rushed to the windows as a means
of escape. Ladders were raised
as soon as possible, and women
and children with nothing
but their night clothes on were thus
taken from the burning building.
Some fainted from fright and sank
exhausted to the ground from nerv
ous prostration. The ladders gener
ally were too short to reach to the
fifth and sixth stories, but by hoist
ing of them on the one-story balcony
on the east side of the two-story bal
cony on the north side of the building,
these floors wore reached, and all
those at the windows rescued. The
Skinner fire escape was also brought
promptly into service, and was the
means of saving many lives.
While this work was going on,
some frightful scenes occurred. One
man, who had been occupying a win
dow on Walnut street front of the
hotel, became desperate at the seem
ing delay in effecting his escape.
With nervous hands he tore sheets
from his bed into strips, tied them
together, fastened this improvised
rope to the windowsill, and disre
garding the fact that it did not reach
more than twenty fset, he let himself
down, hand-over-hand. Men below
who saw his position, turned away
their faces to avoid witnessing the
sickening event that was inevitable.
Finally, he reached the end of the
rope, and then, for the first time, he
seemed to realize his position. He
stopped, threw his head back, reveal
ing a ghastly face, and swung slowly
to and fro, swayed by the breeze
which the roaring flames above crea
ted. His limbs swung around con
vulsively as though to catch upon
something, then he let go, and
groans went up from hundreds as he
whirled round and round and finally
struck on the stcne flagging with a
sickening thud. He was carried
to a saloon across the street and died
in a few moments.
Two other men jumped from tbe
fourth story windows, one of whom
seemed not to be dangerously hurt.
St. Louis, April 11. —p. m.—The fire
engines are still playing on the fire.
A force has been organized to search
for dead bodies and several bodies
have already been taken from the
ruins, in a more or less burned con
dition, but have not yet been identi
fied ; also several dead bodies are at
the morgue awaiting identification.
Mrs. Moran, a servant, was killed
in jumping from a window.
Geo. Frank Ganley, Grand Secre
tary of the Grand Lodge of Free
Masons of Missouri, is supposed to
have perished.
Six persons, whose names are un
known, were killed either from jump
ing from windows or suffocated by
smoke, and dragged out of the burn
ing building.
It is difficult to procure the names
of the dead, but it is hoped a com
plete or nearly complete list will be
obtained this afternoon.
COLUMBUS, GA., THURSDAY MORNING. APRIL 12, 1877.
Sidmore Hayden, superintendent
of the American Express stables, is
among the killed ;aiso Henry Hayden,
Deputy Auditor of the Missouri Pa
cific R. R. Cos.
An Englishman named Adams, said
to be a commissioner Jof education,
has been identified at the morgue.
A woman at a fifth story window on
Fifth street, front, becoming panic
stricken, jumped out and alighted on
her feet. She was carried to the St.
James Hotel and is still alive. Her
husband, who had been standing by
her side, then tore up the bedding
and let a strip down out of the win
dow ; to this a fireman attached a
rope, which the man hauled up, and
making it fast to the window-sill, he
safely descended by It..
A man named J. E. Wilson jumped
from a fourth story window and was
killed.
Andrew Ensou and Mrs. Scott met
death in the same way.
The mortality among female help
of the hotel is great. There were 200
of them, all of whom were lodged in
the upper story of the building.
The panic among the men was per
fectly terrible. A number jumped
from the upper windows on Elm St.,
on the rear side of the house.
Kate Ciaxton, actress, had another
escape, but is uninjured.
Among the known saved are H.
Kertz, Texas ; Dr. Gorlock, German
Consul, jumped from a window
and broke a leg; his wife unhurt;
Charles Tienan lost his life at
tempting to save others.
Phillip Gernold, a boarder at the
hotel, was brought out alive.
The roof fell in. There is now
nothing left of one of the finest hotels
in the country, except the Walnut
street front, and parts of the fourth
and fifth story faces.
The loss on building and contents
is $700,000 to $1,000,000. The insur
ance is unknown.
LATEST.
No other Southern names than
the Texan is among the names of lost
or saved, except T. T. Lin, Mobile,
saved; Fred. Cook, New Orleans,
saved; Jos. J. Davis, Augusta, Ga.,
saved.
THE EASTERN QUESTION.
TURKEY OBJECTS TO THE PROTOCOL.
And Urjert* Montenegro's Demands.
London, April 11.—The Times, in
its editorial, referring to the situa
tion, says a circular has been issued
by the Porte giving an unfavorable
reply to the protocol and the demand
for disarmament. Even though the
refusal may not be so absolute as to
preclude further negotiations or dis
sipate every hope that the determin
ation may be reconsidered, it is im
possible to look upon it except as a
very grave event. Only the most ur
gent representations of the powers
at St. Petersburg and Constantinople
can now prevent a collision.
Constantinople, March, 11.—The
Turkish Chamber of Deputies finally
rejected Montenegro’s demand by a
vote os 65 to 18.
St. Petersburg, April 11.— Europe
probably within the next week, will

HISTORY AND PROGRESS OF EDUCATION.
Sherwood’s Georgia Gazetteer, 1829.]
Schools were early in operation in
Savauuah, Augusta, and a few other
towns in the lower part of the State;
but little attention was paid to learn
ing above Augusta until 1800, if wo
except the following:
Rev. Mr. Springer opened a classi
cal school live miles from Washing
ton, near the present resiaence of
Rev. Mr. Armstrong, in 1791. Here
Rev. Jesse Mercer commenced the
study of the learned languages.
I u 1798 the Rev. Silas Mercer ern
ploved a Mr. Armour to open an
academy at his residence, called Sa
lem, nine miles south of Washington,
now owned by Mr. Gibson. Tills
continued until the death of Mr. Mer
cer in 1796, and at which several per
sons were educated.
In 1791 or 1795 Rev. Dr. Waddell
taught a classical school in Columbia
county, called Carmel Academy, and
was assisted in it by William H. Oraw
ford.
In 1802 the college commenced op
erations at Athens; then in the wil
derness, where could be distinctly
heard
‘•Tholox'a bark or wolt's lugubrious howl/’
The first class was taught in a
small building, twenty by fourteen
feet, standing between the post office
and the house formerly occupied by
tbe President of the College.
In 1801 only six academies had been
incorporated in the State. Tuese
were in Savannah, Augusta, Sunbory,
Louisville, and in Burke and Wilkes
comities. In 1802,a female school was
commenced at Athens, by Mrs. Allen
and daughters, In 1805, Mrs. Dugas,
a French lady, opened a boarding
school in Washington, which flour
ished a number of years. In 1805 or
’G, the Meron Academy at Lexington
was opened. In 1811, the Mount Zion
Academy, and soon after that at
Powelton, were brought into opera
tion. The importance of education
now seemed to be more appreciated,
and academies, both male and fe
male, sprang up in almost every
town. The academies had each the
right, by tbe act of 1792, to purchase
for their use £I,OOO worth of confis
cated property.
Few persons born since the period
alluded to are entirely destitute of
education, but thousands who were
thrown into life before 1800 know not
a letter. The total number of acade
mies is now nearly ninety. Many of
these, however, are misnamed; for
an academy supposes instructions in
tbe higher branches of education,
but some are no better than “old
Held schools.” We hope the Legis
lature will see to it in future that no
charter of incorporation shall be
granted to any body of trustees un
less it be a sine qua non that in such
academy there shall bo taught at
least a paft of the year the learned
languages and higher branches of
mathematics. Deception enough has
been practiced in manufacturing
academies, as they are called, to_ get
money from the Treasury. When
established they have no better
claims to pecuniary aid than any
other school; they draw money mere
ly because they have trustees and
are incorporated.
The academy and free school funds
consist of $500,000; stock in the Bank
of Darien $200,000; stock in tbe State
Bank $200,000 ; State Bank of Augus
ta SIOO,OOO. Of this sum there have
been paid out siuce 1822 to the acade
mies $60,642.58, and for the support
of free schools $46,412.12.
The following is the best estimate
I can make on the probable number
of pupils at our academies and com
mon schools:
In the academics
In sixty counties are twelve common
schools having thirty pupils esc . 21,600
In oth-r sixteen count!- s five schools each
with twenty pupils L mo
Total in academies and schools 27,200
The Public DEBT.-The length of
the time required to very materially
diminish the public debt gives one a
vague notion of its magnitude. For
years it has stood in round numbers
at two billion dollars, and, although
the figures in the millions place have
steadily diminished, the two billions
stilt remain undisturbed. Ihe
total debt, principal and interest,
aod makiog no account of the cash
in the treasury, is now $2,204,832,275.-
47 Should the debt be hereafter
decreased by $5,000,000 monthly or
$60,000,000 yearly, it would be over
three years before we could write
down tbe total debt as being less
than two billions.

There sho sat, day after day, with
the heavy leather-bound books and
ledgers before her, always busy and
never hurried; with a gracious smile
for every customer, and a vigilant
eye for all the shopmen. In the
summer, when the Rue St. Denis was
hot and stifling; in the wiuter, when
the ever-opening door sent in cold
draughts of wind, thero sho sat.
One would like to think that in the
evening there was some relaxation,
but as every account sent in by
that house was in her handwriting
we fear there was often evening
work as well. After a time a little
girl took a sent beside her within the
sanctuary of brass-wire netting and
played with her doll or did some bit
of childish needlework under the
mother’s eye. The doll soon made
room for slates and copybooks ; but
still the child was there and gave
her mother company. In time she
took her place now and then at the
heavy books by way of initiation into
the mystries, while her mother
worked by her side. Years went
by, and Madame M was still there;
her eye was as vigilant, perhaps
more vigilant than ever, but it was
less bright; her smile was as gra
cious and unfailing, but it was less
varied and more conventional; in a
word, her youth was gone, utterly
passed away behind that commer
cial cage of brass wire. The other
day, looking into the shop, we no
ticed that there was a now master.
But the mistress was not new; the
child, the girl, the woman, whose
whole life had been spent there, now
reigned iu her mother’s stead. The
shop, her dot, herself, had been
hauded over together to the same
purchaser. '‘Her father and mother
had retired,” she said. “They live
in the country now,” she added, not
without a touch of pride.

A Leon In Economy.
In a late number of the Graphic
there is an editorial which contains
divers trains of thought. The wri
ter, in speaking of the immunity
which France has enjoyed from the
prevalent disastrous panics, despite
the almost unprecedented convul
sions through which she has passed,
says: “But it should be borne in
mind that France never does sutler
from financial 6torms. Mr. Horace
White, in a thoughtful article, pub
lished in the Loudon Fortnightly a
couple of years since, attributed this
exemption from financial panics to
the indisposition of the French
people either t speculate or to
riyi in debt. There is, therefore,
no basis of credit to upset when pay
day comes. The last great panic of
’37 passed by tbe French Empire
leaving it unscathed, while it almost
ruined the mercantile business of
every other country.” This (rea
soning is incontestably wise and just.
If people would pay for everything
on delivery, panics would be impos
sible. Bv tracing any financial oper
ation back to its beginning the truth
of this proposition will be clearly
seen. It is just as manfestly a fact
that if people would not speculate
the chances for panics would be ma
terially diminished if not de
stroyed. Branching off from this
reasoning the writer attempts to de
cry the economy of the Democratic
House. He says : “Instead of dis
couraging in every way French in
dustry in times of depression, as our
statesmen do.theFrench Chamber ap
propriates 500,000 francs to refurnish
ing with silk all the rurniture of the
State.” This idea of patronizing
statesmanship certainly appears to
be a false one. The plan is simply
to rob Peter to pay Paul, the Peter
being the general public, and Paul
the workingmen out of the employ
ment. But, aside from this the French
furnish us an instructive exam
ple. The fact is becoming plainer
every day that the American people
live and have been living extrava
gantly. The average American, who
achieves fortune, strives for the sub
lime and only accomplishes the ridi
culous, at a tremendous outlay of
menus, frequently of his entire sub
stance. What the people of the
United States need now is less strain
ing for display and more real gentili
ty, which abhors display. Less temp
tation to use other people’s money
and goods, will follow as a necessary
consequence, and the source of spec
ulation and reckless straining for
riches will be broken up.— Charleston

A Glorious Little Woman.
Houghton (Mich.) Mining Gazette.]
Borne five years since Harry Odgers, a
miner from Truro, Cornwall, England,
arrived in this locality. Before leaving
home loved a certain lass, the only
daughter of an inn keeper, to whom he
proposed marriage, but was rejected. Two
years ago Harry, who was employed at
the Deieware mine, met with an accident
by which he lost his eyesight. The news
of his terrible misfortune didn’t reach tbe
ears of his Truro sweetheart until quite
recently. She thought of the man who
once told nor he loved her and her wo
man’s heart softened. She wrote to a
friend in Keweenaw County, and in time
got a history of liis condition and the sad
plight he was in on the distant shore
of Lake Superior. The other evening
a quiet little woman arrived on the stage
from L’Anse, and before many hours she
was at tbe house where the blind and
maimed miner was stopping. She came
to take Harry back to England, without
any fuss or noise, and, if he’ll allow her,
she intends to care for him as his wife the
balance of his days. Monday’s stage took
Harry and his old sweetheart on their re
turn to Cornwall. She doesn’t want to be
married until shegets home. It there is
one seat better than another in heaven,
we know a little woman who will be enti
tled to it when she leaves this world.
It was said in the Evening Post, in Janu
ary, that a sprig of lilac, which had been
placed in a bottle with warm water, the wa
ter being renewed two or three times a day,
had thrown out clusters of white flowers at
the end of a few weeks. The experiment
need not be confined to the lilac, but if one
w ill gather twigs of almost any of the ordi
nary garden shrubs and treat them in the
same way he will be rewarded by similar
results. The Forsythea will respond first,
and at the expiration of ten days or two
weeks it will be covered with lemon-colored
flowers. In the mean time the buds of the
Japan quince will be seen to swell, and ere
long it will open its scarlet petals. The
bladder-senna will send out its buff clusters,
the weigela rosea will give its pink and
white trumpet-like flowers,and the red dog
wood will slowly unfold its tufts of white.
A wide-mouthed glass must be used, and the
one best suited to the purpose is the ordin
ary preserving jar. Put a number of twigs,
but not enough to crowd them, and then fill
the glass about one.third full of tepid wuter,
renewing it two or three times in a day.
Through the day the glass should stand in
the sun, and it must remain at all times in
a warm room. By cutting fresh twigs at
intervals and starting them in other bottles,
we may have a succession of flowers. In
cutting from the Japan quince cure must he
taken to secure the buds, which do not ap
pear on the extremitift, hut well down on
the woody part of each branch.—JV. Y Even

It is reported that certain Senators and
thirteen Representatives, of the variety
called carpet-baggers, have signed an agree
ment to withdraw from the Republican
party. The news is too good to be true.
They promise to give the Democratic party
control of both houses of Congress, but, it
would be purchased too dearly by alfiliation
with|theae persona. The Republican party
has Jbeen carrying them long enough to
know what they cost, if they and thei res
pected leader, Mr. Butler, wish to do that
party the greatest service in their power, we
trnst they will “stand not upon the order of
their going, but go at once,” That they do
not mean to do the Republican party this
favor, and will not goat all if they can help
it, we are fully convinced.
The'fact is that the Republican party lias
been running apolitical poorhousequite too
long. The one fatal delect of its policy
since the war has been that it gave opportu
nity for adventurers, who were utterly with
out standing or consideration in any North
ern community, and who if not propped up
by the United States bayonets could not
have been elected to any office by colored
men of the South, to fasten themselves upon
the party and the country as the representa
tive Republicans of reconstructed States.
Good men as well as bad men have gone
from the Norih to take part in Southern pol
itics. But it is an unhappy consequence of
the peculiar influence which worthless men
attained under Grant's Administration that
the most worthless of all the genaration of
earfet-haggers seemed to have, in the fullest
degree, the sympathy and support of that
Administration, were enabled to select offi
cials who would serve them, were thus rec
omended to the Republican voters of the
South as the men of all others who were
trusted at Washington by official leaders of
the party, and secured a controlling position
in the party at home by means of this influ
ence. We all know how decent men have
been repelled by this prominence of unscru
pulous persons. All other blunders put to
gether have not cost the Republican party
as many votes as the single fact that it was
represented and controlled in reconstructed
States by unworthy men.
