TO A FRIG’S SHORES
TWO HUNDRED NEGRO EMI
GRANTS SAIL FROM SAVANNAH.
With Singing and Shouting They Bid
Adieu to America.
The steamship Ilorsa, with two hun
dred Liberian emigrants, sailed from
Savannah Tuesday afternoon. Five
thousand negroes gathered on tho
wharves and cheered the vessel as it
passed down the river. Knots of ne
groes began gathering in the vicinity
of tho dock where tho steamer was ly
ing early in the morning. The num
ber kept increasing and at noon sever
al thousand were packed in the streets
| and buildings lanes and several covered blocks. the roofs The ef- of
for
! fort by Itev. C. S. Smith, secretary of
| tho Sunday Methodist School church, Union who of has tho Afri- been
can
endeavoring to prevent the clearance
of the vessel on tho ground that she
was not properly equipped, failed to
accomplish anything.
The accommodations of the Horsa
complied fully with the law and the
vessel passed a thorough inspection by
'.he customs officials.
Shortly after noon the gates to the
wharf where the emigrants wero wait
ing were opened and the negroes went
aboard.
It was a curious procession, ranging
in age from the baby in arms to the
old man tottering on the verge of the
grave. The women came first and
made strange contrasts. One with a
checked apron and a sunbonnet was
followed by a jauntily-dressed girl of
more tender years, with gaudy plumed
hat and bright ribbons. Some carried
valises, others buckets, others tins
full of small articles. After the women
came the men, some with shotgnns,
rifles, and others with assorted lug

WASHINGTON NOTES
ITEMS OF NEWS PICKED UP AT
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Sayings and Doings of the Official
Heads of the Government.
The president has appointed Jas. H.
Collins to be collector of customs at
Nashville, Tenn.
The cruiser Colombia, now on her
way to South America, carries dis
patches to Admiral Meade. Neither
the state nor navy department will
confirm this report which, however,
comes from a reliable semi-official
source. It is asserted that the com
m soications which Captain Summer
carries relate ofiiefiy to tho AH.vsnea
affair.
Secretary Carlisle has appointed
William Martin Aiken, of Cincin
nati, Ohio, supervising architect
of tho treasury,to fill the vacancy that
occurred on September 20, 1894, by
the resignation of Jeremiah O Roake,
of Newark, N. J. The salary is $4,500
per annum. Mr. Aiken is about forty
two years of age, and was born in
South Carolina.
The division of mining statistics and
technology of the United States geol
ogical survey has received from Dr.
William C. Day, the special agent in
charge of the statistics of stone, a
statement of the production of marble
in Georgia in 1894. This product,
which comes entirely from Pickens
county, 481,429 cubic feet, valued at
$716,385, ns compared with $261,666,
the value in 1893, an increase of 174
per cent. Georgia ranks second
among the marble producing states,
Vermont being first.
The statement is made upon good
authority that the decision of the
United States supreme court on the
constitutionality of the income tax
will be rendered before Monday, April
15th. Treasury officials, charged with
collection of the tax have been very
anxious to obtain some informal as
surance on this point, inasmuch as the
extension of the period within which
returns must be made by taxpayers in
order to escape the 50 per oent penal
ty, imposed by law, expires on that
day.
Internal Revenue Receipts.
Collections of internal revenue from
all sources for the eight months of the
current fiscal year, as oompiled by
Commissioner Miller, show the re
ceipts to have agregated $100,532,464,
an increase over the the eight months
of 1894 of $5,180,622. The principal
sources $59,095,538, of revenue were: Spirits,
an increase of $4,085,-
763; Tobacco, $19,761,742, an in
crease of $1,069,999, fermented liquors,
$20,118,768, a decrease of $129,099;
oleomargerine, $1,108,276, a decrease
of $228,184 and miscellaneous, $436,-
320, an increase of $348,324. The re
ceipts for February were $1,701,-
445 less than for February 1894.
Among the itmes of receipts for
February is one of $11,818 on
account of income tax under the new
law. This is the first time any re
ceips from this source has been re
ported.
Tho Great Pension Drain.
Commissioner of Pensions Lochren
estimates that there will not be any
decreased amount appropriated for
pensions during the next three years.
The amount appropriated for the fis
cal year of 1896 in round numbers is
$140,000,000; for the present year the
amount was $150,000,000. The reason
for tho ahsenco of any percoptiblo de
crease is that the falling off, owing to
deaths and other causes, is about
counter-balanced by first puyments
in pensions allowed. As cases
are allowed from time to time
there aro large first payments,
some times for arrears, and always
dated from the time the application
was filed. The decrease in some
classes of claims are quiet great, as in
the pensions for the war of 1812, which
have decreased about 50 per cent in
tho past year. After three years whoa
it is expected the majority of claims
will be adjudicated, and there will be
few remaining first payments, Com
missioner Lochren expects there will
then be a rapid falling off in pensions,
n e°« red d He^then
b p
expects the pension appropriation will

HONORING COXFEDERATK DEAD
A monument In Chicago to be Dedi
cated in May.
General J. C. Underwood, ex-lieu
tenant governor of Kentucky, and one
of the most prominent southern men,
is the author and executor of the
movement to build oyer the 6,000 dead
confederate soldiers who sleep in
Oakwood park, Chicago, a handsome
monument commemorating their brave
deeds and beroio fortitude.
Ho bns succeeded in this magnifl
cent work, the monument has been
completed—the only confederate mon
ument north of tho Mason and Dixon
line—has been recognized by the
United States government and will be
unveiled with imposing oeremonies on
May 30th. this
Tho dedication of monument,
the oeremonies attending which will be
participated in by prominent generals
of both armies, will be a great event
in American history. It will make a
great step toward cementing tho divi
sion between the sections and will an
nihilate much of the bitterness that
remains. It will be an occasion thnt
will attract I'm people all over the
couutry, au^ .o one can fail to appro
ciate it~_. w Jlonnoo.
Tho monument is a handsome affair,
The pedestal is of Goorgia marble and
the statue is of fine bronze. It is
forty feet high from the base to the
top of the statue. Surrounding the
monument will be four cannons, ap
proprintod by ibe United States gov
eminent by special act of congress,
approved January 25, 1895. The bill
making this appropriation wns pushed
through the senate by tho efforts of
Senator John It. Gordon. Tho senn
tors recognized his good purpose in
the matter and lent him their willing
assistance. The bill passed the house
during the last session without a die
Renting voice.
This act of the government consti
tntes the first recognition ever shown
the confederacy by tho government,
and for that reason is very significant,
Tho dedication speeoh will ho made
by General Wade Hampton. 'The
southern generals Fitzhugh who will Lee, be General present
are: General
John B. Gordon, General W. W. Ca
bell, Harry Heth, E. C. Walthall, L.
L. Lomax, Marcus J. Wright, M. V.
Butler, Clement A. Evans, F. C. Arm
strong, Eppa Hunton, William If.
Payne and otliors. From tho federal
sido are expected General Schofield,
General Flagler, General Lawlor and
General Palmer. The Grand Army
posts will participate in tho exercises
and hundreds ,o« confederates will be
present. The Grand Army mon have
been for two yoars assisting in decor
ating the graves of the southern sold
iers.
General Undorwood is very enthu
siastic over the outlook for a great
event on May 30th. Ho expects many
southerners to ho present. He also
expocts every southern city of size to
send a carload of flowers.
SHORTAGE IN A MINT.
The Accounts of tlie Carson, Nevada,
Money 31III About $00,000 Short.
Mr. Preston, tho director of tho
mint, early last month received an in
timation that there was a shortage in
tho accounts of tho refiner and melter
of the Carson, Nev., mint. Superin
tendent Mason, of tho New York as
say office, was immediately detailed to
make an investigation.
On the face of the accounts there
appeared a shortage of 3,000 ounces
of gold and 3,000 ounces of silver,
making a total of something less than
$60,000.
The responsibility lins been located
on Hirscli Harris, melter anil refiner
at the mill, who has been suspended
pending investigation.
In connection with the shortage it
is stated that Joseph Douglass, a bro
ker, purchased two bars of bullion
two months ago, which it is supposed
came from the mint, the bullion con
taining no gold. the in
Silver bullion from mines
this locality will be always the subject contains of gold. in
This sale an
vestigation. When bullion is trans
ferred back and forth between depart
ments of the mint, receipts are given
which fix tite responsibility when a
loss ocours. The smelting aDd refining
is beiived to he tho department which
is short.

MORE WAR TALK.
THE ALLIANCA TROUBLE NOT
YET SETTLED.
Secretary Gresham Maintains a Strong
Attitude Against Spain.
There is more war talk among the
enthusiasts at Washington, It is
claimed tlint if Mr. Gresham maintains
j 1 * 8 backed strong attitude by President against Cleveland, Spain, and
a
conflict with tho Spaniards is almost
inevitable. It has been declared
eemi-officially at the state department
th* 8 government will not tolerate
delay in tho reply from Spain,
U ’ 8 remembered that in diplomatic
controversies hitherto, Spain has given
United States no satisfaction at.
a "- in 1881, four American schoon
f*® were firod upon off Cape Mayai,
just as tho dniKiTea was. The Spanish
government delayed four months in
answering a demand for an explann
Con, and the reply stated that an iu
vestigation would be made. Four
months later, a note was reoeived thut
Spain hail jurisdiction for six miles
f roln the Cuban shore and thnt is all
Gmt ever came of the matter,
Secretary Gresham is represented ItH
Using determined that no such uusst
isfnotory reply shall be tolerated in the
present instance. If president (’love
lnn<] doeB not interfere and stop any
demonstration, , it is believed that Mr.
Gresham will go to the length of never
ln ? diplomatic relations with Spain,
^ ^ b bt,r 1 u 1 erila l dissensions, Spain

or 1°ci*on in power that would prop one

Meade Is a Fighting Man.
Admiral Moade, who is in command
of the American squadron, now in
Central American paters, is one of tho
naval fire eaters. Ho is a good fighter,
ft ud would need no second command
to open tiro on Havana in retaliation
°f ft refusal of Spain to settle the Alli
ane» affair. There are others beside
Admiral Meade aching for a fight.
Gne of them is Senator Morgan, of
Alabama, chairman of tho senate
committee on foreign affairs, who
‘ s anxious to annex Cuba. Ho
thinks the present time propi
tious for such an event. “If the ad
ministration,’’ he said, ‘'maintains its
bold-American attitude against Spain,
R -is ,u *t impossible that, a resort to
arms may be necessary to settle the
uffair. If this country would ‘unbe
knownst,’ os it wore, get into a squab
ble with a foreign country, it would
be a good thing. It would make a
market for our provisions at least. ”
sharp Heorotary Gresham has written a
note demanding that .Spain make
roply at once to his first message.
CROSSMAN MAKES AFFIDAVIT
Thut the Flag Fired on was the Stars
ami Stripes.
Tho following affidavit haa been
drawn up and signed by Captain
Crossman, of tho Alliance:
“Cnptoin James A. Crossman, being
duly sworn, deposes and says: That I
have read in tho morning papers of
this day, Tuesday, March 19, 1895,
that tho commander of the Hpauish
gunboat Coude do Venadito has made
the statement that tlie steamship that
was off Cape Maysi, Cuba, on tho 8th
day of March, 1895, which wus fired
on by his gunboat, raised the British
flag in saluting him. In view of this
statement, I do most solemnly swear
that the flag hoisted on the staff of tlie
steamship Allinnca, in saluting the
Spanish gunboat off Capo Maysi,Culm,
. March 8, 1895, by my orders and in
my presence, was the American en
sign. This is tho only flag used for
such purposes—tho national flag of
America.

HIE NOTED DIVINE’S SUNDAY
DISCOURSE.
Subject; “Wholesale Divorce.**
Text: “Wlmt. therefore, God hath joined
together let not man put asunder.”—Matthew
xix., (>.
That there aro hundreds and thousands of
infelicitous homes in America no one will
doubt. If there wore only one skeleton in
the closet, that might he locked up and
abandoned, hut in many a home there is a
skeleton in the hallway and a skeleton in all
the apartments.
scriptive ‘‘Unhappily married” are two words de
of many a homestead. It needs no
orthodox minister to prove to a badly mated
pair that there is a hell. They are there now.
Sometimes a grand mul gracious woman will
he thus incarcerated, and her life will he a
crucifixion, the as was the en.se with Mrs. Hlgour
nev, great poetess and the great soul.
Sometimes a consecrated man will he united
to a fury, as was John Wealey, or united to rt
vlxem, as was John Milton. Sometimes, and
generally, Thomas Carlyle both parties are to blame, and
was an intolerable scold, ami
ids wife smoked and swore, and Froude, the
historian, Any* fttvbbJe pulled aside tho curtain from the
I i re »f Cr.iLi^A-uYfoek and Five,
Cheyne Row.
Home say thnt for the alleviation of all
these domestic disorders of which wo hear
easy divorce is a good prescription. God
sometimes authorizes divorce as certainly as
Ife authorizes marriage. I have just as much
regard for one lawfully divorced as I have
for one lawfully married. Rut you know
and 1 know that wholesale divorce Js one of
our National scourges. Jam not surprised
at this when 1 think of tho influences which
have been abroad militating against tho mar
riage relation.
For many years tho platforms of tho coun
try rang with talk about a free love millen
nium. There were meetings of this kind held
in the Cooper Institute, New York; Tromont
Temple Home Boston, and all over tho land.
oi the women who were most promi
nent in that movement havo since been dis
tinguished for great promiseuosity of affec
tion. Popular thems for such occasions were
the tyranny of man, the oppression of the
marriage relation, women’s rights anil the
affinities. Prominent speakers were women
with short curls au<l short dross, and very
long tougue, everlastingly created at war with God
because they were women, while on
the platform sat meek men with soft accent
and cowed demeanor, apologetic for mascu
linity, and holding the parasols while the
termagant orators went on preaching the
doctrine of free love.
Thut campaign of about t wenty years set
more devils into the marriage relation than
will be exorcised in the next fifty. Men and
women went home from such meetings so
permanently confused as to who were their
wives and husbands that they never got out
of their perplexity, and the criminal and the
civil courts tried to disentangle the “Iliad”
of woes, and this one got alimony, and that
one got a limited divorce, and this mother
kont the children on condition that tin'
fethor could sometimes come and look at
them, those and these went Into poorhouses, and
wont into un insane asylum, and those
went Into dissolute public life, and ail went
to destruction. The mightiest war over
made against tho marriage Institution was
that tree love campaign, sometime* undur
one name and sometimes under another.
Another influence that has warred upon
fhe marriage relation has been polygamy in
Utah. Thai was a stereotyped caricature of
the marriage relation and lias poisoned the
whole land. You might as well think that
you can have an arm in a state of mortifica
tion and yet the whole body not be sickened
as to have these Territories polvgamlzcd and
yet the body of the Nation not feel the putre
faction. Hear it, good mon and women of
America, that so Jong ago as IHfl 2 a law was
the passed Territories by Congress and forbidding all the places polygamy In
in where
they had jurisdiction. Twenty-four years
passed along and live knocked administrations before
the first brick was from that for
tress of libertinism.
Every new President in his inaugural
tickled that monster with tho straw of con
demnation, and every Congress plan that stultified it
self in proposing some would not
work. Polygun.y stood more intrenched,
and more brazen, and more infernal. puissant, and
more braggart, and more Ja 1 11-—
Buelmnnaii, J the much extirpation abused man of this of his d**y,

than most of the sub,sapient ad mi rds tril
lions. Mr. Buchanan sent out un army, and
although it was halted in its work still he
accomplished more than some of the admin
istrations which did nothing hut talk, talk,
talk. At last, but not until It had poisoned
generations, polygamy has received Us death
