The Chinese Famine
Sv\ Fit a nci sen, February 2<i. —
The steamship Oceanic, which ar
rived last night from China,
brings news of a terrible disaster
at Tientsin,China. The refuge
lionise, in w hich the famine strick
eii refugees from the northern
provinces had assembled, took
lire, and of nearly three thousand
persons in t lie building only about
one hundred escaped. The ex
trcHielv cold weather prevailing
lately inis had a fatal effect upon
tin l refugees, many of whom have
been frozen to death, while thou
sands are suffering from iusufli
cicnt accommodation and lack
of food, which cannot be supplied
in sufficient quantities to meet
the demand. The efforts of the
Government to supply food and
assistance are to a great extent
nullified by the dishonesty of the
officials. Children are sold by
hundreds by their starving par
ents. In the large cities of
Perilling risings have occurred
among tin' people rendered des
perate by seeing their wives and
children starving lie I ore their
faces, and many oilier outbreaks,
I are reported. In l’acliung the
people beheaded a niadarin lor
speculating on their necessities.
The cold has been unusually
severe throughout tin* country
for several weeks.
African Colonization.
l*iiii.iiiii.i.cm \. February 24.-The
Rev. Dr. 11. M. Turner, business
manager of tlu* publication do
partment of the African Metho
ds! Church, has returned to Phil
adelphia after a tour of several
months duration in South Caro
j linn. Georgia and other cotton
States. I>r. Turner is himself a
native South Carolinian, and was
at one time a member of tin* Geor
gia Legislature. He says lie took
pains on this trip to inquire as to
the extent to which tin* colored
pople are interested in the l.ibe
tian emigration movement, and
was surprised to find how much
they have it at heart. In South
Carolina there is a perfect furor
among the negroes in view,of the
purchase of the bark Azor for the
furtherance of the movement.
The money with which the ship
was bought was raised entirely
by the petty contributions of
these poor people. The A ror is
now at Boston, whence she will
sail in a few days for Charleston,
having on hoard the Rev. B. F.
Porter. President of the society.

Sailliitg of Old Ironsides.
I‘UII,AIH,I*HM. Fell, go —The
departure of the United States
frigate Constitution (-Old Iron
sides"), this morning with the
first consignment of goods for the
Paris Exposition, was an event
that attracted a great deal of at
tention. The crowd about the
wharf at which the frigate lay and
on the neighboring peirs was >o
great that the service of a great
police force were necessary to
keej) order and prevent embar
rassment of seamen aiul laborers.
Several of the crew had taken ad
vantage of their leave to desert
during the last few days, and just
before starting none were allowed
to quit the ship on any pretext
whatever. At 10 o’clock the fri
gate was visited officially by Mr.
George W. CWlds and General
\V. 11. 11. Davis, the United States
Commissioners from Pennsylva
nia to the Exposition. They in
spected the craft from stem to
stern and expressed themselves
greatly pleased with till that they
saw.
Before noon the last package of
goods had been stowed away and
the latft of commissary stores re
cieved. The big hawsers were
then hauled in, and at 12.05 the
frigate moved gracefully out of
the dock.
Hayes's Veto.
\VAsm MiTiiJi, Feb., 28. —In the
house, the president's message,
vetoing the silver bill, was laid
before the house by the speaker.
The president says it has been
his earnest desire to concur with
congress in the adoption of a
measure to increase the silver
coinage of the country, but so as
not lo impair the obligation of
contracts either public or private,
or injuriously affect the public
credit. It was only on the con
viction that this bill did not meet
that essential requirement that
lie felt it his duty to withhold
from it his approval. The mes
sage further states that the oapi
tal defect of the bill is that it con
tains no provision protecting
from its operation pro existing
debts, in case the coinage which
it creates shall continue of less
value than that which was the
sole legal tender when they were
created. In the judgment of
mankind, it would be and act of
bad faith. The standard of value
should not be changed without
the consent of both parties to the
contract. The national promises
should he kept with untlinching
fidelity.
lie could not sign a bill w hich
would authorize the violation of
sacred obligations. The obliga
tion of the public.faith transcend
ed all questions of profit or pub
lie advantage. Its unquestiona
ble maintenance was the dictate
of honesty as well as of exjiedi
enev and should ever be careful
ly guarded by the executive, by
congress and the people.
Before proceeding to vote on
the question, will the house, on
reconsideration, jiass the bill!—
Cox, of New York, made the re
mark that the message was a
•‘charge of fraud by a fraud," on
which his colleague, McCook,
made a point of order. The
speaker decided that the remark
was made out of order and that
it should not be printed in the
Record. The house then pro
ceeded to vote and the result w as
yeas lt>6, nays 73. The speaker
declared the bill as passed, and
the announcement was received
with general applause. The
house then took up the bill to
pension the soldies of the Mexi
can and Indian wars, and w ithout
action adjourned.
In the senate the silver bill
passed, the president's veto not
withstanding, by a vote of 4ti to
lit; Mr. Hill, f tieorgia. voting
with the majority.
On Thursday, the 21-t in-t..
Miss Matsie Culpepper, one of Se

in company with some friends
visited the mill of Messrs. Sulli

Miss Mattie, standing near a small
cog wheel, the cog cought her
skirt and drew herdhrough a space
between the shaft and wall only
l£ inches. The blood gushed out
from her eyes, mouth and ears,
and she was thought to be dead.
Every effort was made to ex

In an appeal sent to the French
papers, signed by French and
other Consuls at Constantinople
it is stated that the distres' in
that city can not lie exaggerated.
More than 80,000 persons from
different parts of the Turkish Em
pire had, during the previous ten
days, arrived in the capital. The
majority were without shelter, in
sufficiently clothed in an excop
tionally rigorous winter, and al
most famished. Mosques,churches
schools and barracks have been
given up for their accommodation
The Sultan Iras re-igned several
palaces for the purpose, but
means of feeding the httgry are
everywhere wanting, as local re
sources are exhausted.
Congressman Bell, who is u
very close observer of men, as
well as an exceedingly faithful
representative, writes to a friend
in North Georgia as follows: “As
at present advised, my opinion of
Mr. Hayes is that lie is an honest,
patriotic, clever gentleman, of
medium .ability, who wishes to do
right. lam fearful that he i> in
the control of the money-rings of
the north and east, or rather, that
•Inlin Sherman is, and that the
president will allow Sherman to
run the whole machine."
The number of persons of near
ly all nationalities who have this
year taken part in the pilgrimage
to Mecca is 132,450.

Senator Ferry lias been again
elected to the position of presi
dent pro tempore of the senate.
Mr. Ferry was first called to the
chair March 1!), 1871 ; again on
December 20, 1875, and on the
death of Henry Wilson, lie again
presided over the senate as acting
vice president, serving until the
4th March, 1 577.
Many of the farmers of Whit
field county are in favor of a
fence law.
Last fall a number of Stewart
county residents decided to go out
West, and go they would, in spite
of all that could be done to keep
them contented to stay at their
old homes. Of the number were
several families lYoin near Flor
ence, They are dissatisfied, says
the Lumpkin Independent, and
with one simple exception, all de
sire to return, and would do so
now if they had the means.
The democrats have some hopes
of carrying the state election in
New Hampshire on the second
(next) Tuesday in March.
Tnk House Committee on Mil
itary Affairs have revised Gen.
Banning's bill reducing the pay
of the army. It saves a million
and a half of dollars. The pay
of the General is reduced from
413,500 to 410,000. and of all the
other officers in proportion to
their pay. as Second Lieutenants
(not mounted) from 41,400 to
41,300. Of course Tecumseh
Sherman will growl, hut lie should
remember that 410,000 per
annum is better than the 415,000
he received in Kentucky before
the war.
Thomas C. Anderson of the
Louisiana Returning Board has
not only been convicted of forg
ery, but is now a condemned
felon having received from .1 udge
Whitaker a sentence of two year’s
hard labor in the State peniten
tiary and cost. This is the short
est time known to the law in such
cases and was fixed by the court
because of the jury’s recommen
dation to mercy.
The “Marseillaise" has become
tli*bone of political contention
