The Cotton Fires.
The New \ork Journal nj ( bininerce
publishes an article concerning the late
Cotton fires, in which it says that the risks
connected with the storage of Cotton have
somewhat diminished since public atten
tion has been directed to the subject, but
that there is stiii room for further improve
ment. The article continues as follows :
“Where the Are may lie traced directly
to gross fraud, or criminal carelessness it
l>y no means follows that those who are in
tae storage business have any connection
with the one or the other. A case is re
ported, where a careful examination of the
warehouse receipts, given for a cargo of
. "'ton carted trofli a ship showed adc
iu iency of a hale or two, as compared
wun the HU of lading. 'Hie ship-owners
"l-is.ed that they had made a full delivery,
ami it became apparent that a loss had oo
earred between the vessels hold and Iho
v. areliouse lofts. After some delay the
mate ~| the vewi, a,..!. W« beli
carman most concerned, each undertook
lo examine the whole lot in warehouse,
and .»y taking olf the marks and numbers
to trace the fraud, liaifanhour after one
ol thorn letd left the lofts, a lire broke out
winch so damaged or destroyed the pro
perty as to prevent all further investiga
tion.
e have heard also of other particulars
equally suggestive. A young man called
Jit the otfU.*(‘. of a warehouse* to present an
onier for the turning out of an invoice of !
cotton which had been there upon storage.
After leaving his instructions, it occurred
to him to visit the lofts and inspect its con
dition. lie found a number of men en
gaged in depleting the interior of the hales
'Oel packing toe plunder thus -enured ju
l.age hag' provided for that purpose., It
hoe., not toliow that the rogues would have
s “t lire to the lofts as soon as they saw titat
ft." cotton was likely to ho turned out, hut
as a soaking by water is a natural way to
hioe such a fraud, the discovery was time
ly, to say the least. Tim proprietor of the
warehouse, although not, as far as we
know, in any way connected with the dis
honesty thus brought to light, held him
self responsible for the occurrence, and
made a very liberal compensation to the
owner in settlement, with a view, doubt
less, In part to prevent injury to his busi
ness by a public exposure.
>apolc«n’K Speech.
The Emperor Napoleon, in his speech
before the Corps Legislatin' on the assem
bling of that body on the loth instant,
said;
Soriousevcnts liave happened in Europe,
almost fulfilling the great Napoleon’s idea
to unite all the great homogeneous nations
hitherto separated, and which is the only
possible Isiiance of power in Europe,
'termini and Italian events have paved
tin-way to It. Their success cannot dis
turb Prance.
I stood aloof, and held the peace which
I'russia and Italy made without dismem
bering Austria, franco was just and
neutral. In another part of the globe wo
have been obliged to employ force to re
dress legitimate grievances, and we have
endeavorcd to raise an ancient empire.
The happy results we first obtained were
compromised by an inauspicious concur
re Os circumstances. The guiding idea
of the Mexican expedition was an eie
vuh and one. To regenerate a people and
implant among them ideas of order arid
progress ; to open vast outlets to our com
merce, and leave the recognition of
services rendered to civilization to mark
our path--such was my desire and yours;
hut as soon as the extent of our sacrifices
a speared p, mo to exceed the interests
which had called ns across the ocean, I
spontaneously determined upon the recall
of our army corps, that the Uovcnjnieiit of
the I rilled Slates might comprehend that
Want of conciliation hail embittered rela
tions which, fortlio welfare of both coun
tries, should remain friendly.
The Emperor (lien proceeded to suv that
Ihe gn at pow ers ought to act in concert to
satisfy the Christians, protect the rights ot
I lie Porte, and to prevent complications.
The Human treaty of September has been
executed, whereby the (lovornment of the
Pope has been phe ed in anew phase,
and he iH sustained by his own strength
arid the veneration cl the great powers of
the head of the Church. Europe will sus
tain his temporal power against dema
gogue i. Our relations with England arc
intimate, and both the powers agree on all
Ihe great questions, The perpetuation of
Austria is necessary to the balance of
power.
The Emperor says that lie is certain that
tiie peace of the world is not to ho disturb
ed. Sure of the present, and confident of
Ihe future, I have fullllleii your wishes in
regard to the ilevolopment of our institu
lions upon a liberal scale. Prance will
use In-r new rights wisely. She is respect
e<l abroad, hut tho conditions of war be
ing changed she must increase her de
leui'i-s. ’file Army Hill has been so drawn
a to lighten the burden in times of peace,
and to increase the resources in times of
war. Our neighbors assumed far heavier
burden--. Pet us ever keep our ling high,
as tin- best means of preserving pence.
'l'he prosperity of Prance advance.-', Tho

lo satisfy nil interest, reduco the land tax,
and make public improvements, whereby

I trust in my people, my right, and my

I.i.i iT.it fiinM an Old Telegraph
Operator. -Tho Cincinnati Commercial
publishes the following letter. The fact
to which it calls attention is curious:
‘f\s a matter of interest to your readers
who notice weather reports from the West,
I will state that in my experience as a
telegraph operator, for tho past eighteen
years, 1 have noticed that tuno out of ten
changes in tho weather caiuc from the
West. I lirst noticed this while in Balti
more. Oyster dealers in Cincinnati ad
el-- .1 their correspondents in Baltimore of
any change in the weather at Cincinnati.
Eighteen hours afterwards we would ex
perience llm same change at Baltimore.
During throe years' service in the Balti
more telegraph office, 1 noticed that but
one storm canto in any other direction than
from the West, and that was the day after
the great battle of McClellan before Rich
i: ond. The greatest and fiercest storm of
wind and rain 1 ever experienced came
direct from tho South ; and upon tho hypo
i he. is, about that time going the rounds of
the press, that a great storm lollowed a
great battle, I concluded that McClellan
and Lee's artillery had something to do in
sending us that storm.
“Since coming to Cincinnati i have
noticed that all changes in the weather are
first felt at St. Louis. Twelve hours after
wards we experience the same change
here.’!
Death from Chloroform. —The New
nan llcrahl of the 19th contains an ac
count of a death from chloroform, as fol
lows :
Mr. l.igon, a strong, healthy looking
man, of about 35 years, was wouiulud
through tin- right foot in the battle around
Atlanta, in the summer of ISO-!. An un
healthy intlummation was set tip in the
smaller hones, through which the bull
passed. Accompanied by his brother, l>r.
l.igon, Mr. came to our town last
Tuesday for the purpose of having
these carious hones rcmo\ed. The propriety
-f tho operation was tmquestionflblc. Re
covery was utterly impossible so long as
the diseased hones remained, and certain
if removed, lbs. Calhoun and E. Smith
w ere consulted, and requested to perform
the operation. The patient being placed
on a table suitable for the purpose, chloro
form was slowly administered by I>rs.
l.ig-iu mid Smith, the towel being held
sniUeiently far from the face to admit of
the free admixture of atmospheric air.
Before the patient was fully under its in
tluenee. the breathing became had and al
most ceased, while the pulse remained
full, strong and regular; liut by the use of
cold water. Ac., it was soon restored. The
operation was then commenced, and well
mgh completed any further tiseef
the chloroform! when the breathing again
suddenly ceased, and every effort to bring
about its restoration proved fruitless.-;.
The cause of death in this ease is very
remarkable, and somewhat obscure. The
patient w as apparently in !ii*e lu-a.th, with
a full, well-formed chest. The chloroform
used was Known to have been good, from
the fact that several others had recently
taken it with impunity. It was adminis
tered slowly and carefully, w hile IPs. Elg
on and smith kept their lingers constant
ly on the pulse. Chloroform, even in small j
quantity, w ill sometimes occasion-death 1
where then* is disease of tho brain, lungs
or heart, some of which are dillleult and
often impossible to detect during life. Mr.
1.. leaves a wife and five children.
Manifesto from the Head of the
Bureau. — A circular just issued by Gen.
Howard, Commissioner of the l’reediuen’s
Bureau, will increase the difficulty of
Sambo > pleasure trips at the expense of
l tale Sam. As it may affect parties in
t his part of the Bureau vineyard, we pub
lish the document for the benefit of all
concerned. Here it is :
Special attention of the Assistant Com
missioners of this Bureau is called to the
subject of transportation. Transportation
is given only to relieve the Government
from the support of the indigent, and to
enable those in extreme want to reach
1 iaeej where they can provide for them
selves. Hereafter no orders for transpor
tation of refugees and freed men will issue
except from this office, and every applica
tion. besides the rigid conditions already
imposed, must set forth clearly the fact of
extreme destitution, which must be cer
tified tol-y the Assistant Commissioner in
person.
\ ictoe Cousin's death was very sud
den. lie fell with apoplexy, while talking
''’lds friends, Merimee and BarthelmySt.
Hilaire, at Cannes. His wife was a poetess,
who. fifteen years ago, stabbed Alphonse
Karr with a batcher knife. Poor Karr was
confined to his bed for three weeks, but
instead of draggiug Lis enemy before the
tribunals, lie wrote on the event for his
book, A" femme? one of the finest pages
of raillery in the French language. Mdtnc.
Cousin s literary attempts were considered
pretentious, and to treat her seriously as a
poetess was in itself raillery. Karr de
clared, therefore, that she, a votary of the
muses, ought to lie ashamed to attack a
poet with so unpoetical an instrument as a
kitchen knife. The laughers were on
Karr's side, and this was ins only revenge.
A knock-down argument, that never
fails to settle a dispute, is most effective
when delivered under the ear.
I.ovc’s Eight.
Last year she wandered through the wood,
The spring u.is on the breeze,
And overhead, among the trees
Tim building cushats cooed and cooed,
And all around a hundred notes
Poured fresh and sweet from warbling
throats,
And she was gay w ith earth’s glad mood.
With girlish, laughing glee she strayed
Amid the primrose flowers,
r < A nd from lie- hawthorn shook in showers
ihe fragrant blossoms—wanton maid—
And making havoc as she went,
Her merry voice glad sunshine sent
Os song and carol through the glade.
Again tho spring was in the grove,
Blithe caroled every bird.
And overhead again was hoard
The plaintive cushat's crooning love;
Again along tie; primrose glade,
B-neath the thorns tire maiden strayed,
And felt the spring her pulses move.
But not again she shook the sprays
With playful lingers rude,
To scatter in her careless mood
Their blooms along the forest ways ;
But Violet and primrose lair
iSh gathered in a garland rare, *
And lily bells, and fragrant mays.
And she was glad, she knew not why—
And yet her heart knew well
That fairer smiled each bloomy dell, *
And brighter glowed the glowing -t v,
The stilly beauty of the pia.-e. *
And passed into her musing fr.'-e,
And softened all her lustrous eye.
And through the woodland on she moved I
Until she reached the stile,
* And resting there, saw many a mile
Os held and mead, where cattled roved ;
The homestead and the cottage small,
H<-r eye dwelt lovingly on all—
. She loved them, for she was beloved.
East year she was a w ayward child,
A merry madcap thing,
And frolic as the birds that wing
Their random flights along the wild ;
But love has come and everywhere, j
In blooming earth and balmy air,
It seemed as though an angel smiled.
And what is love ? A sympathy,
An intuition rare,
A sense that need hath ne’er
Ol wrodsto thread the intricacy
Os thought and feeling’s maze,
A foretaste of tho eternal days
When Ood shall lighten every eye.

Moscow Lighted Wixft Gas.— A curi
ous ceremony was performed at Moscow
the 27tli of December last, when the old
j Russian capital was, for the first time,
lighted with gas. At two o’clock a '"Tc
I fkion” was sung at the gas factory, which
| was, moreover, solemnly consecrated..
I lien there was a grand banquet, after
which the officials and the principal guests
| proceeded to the Kremlin, where a plao
j form covered with red cloth had been pre
pared, close to the Cathedral of St. Michael
At half-past four, the Mayor armed him
self with a taper and approached the near
est lamp, of which the tap was already in
the hands of an aid. At the word of com- I
maud (“fire,” we suppose) the tap was !
turned, the gas was lighted, a military j
band began to play the national hymfi, and
the mu.de was continued until the whole
Kremlin was illuminated, as well as a
large portion of the exterior city.
A Hint for olr Grammar Schools.
—The action of the Minister of Public In
structions in France, as related by a Paris
correspondent of the Nation , contains a
bint for teachers in grammar schools:
J he Minister ol Public Instruction lias
just issued a circular advising the teach
ers of the public schools not to torment
their pupils by cramming their youthful
heads with grammatical rules, learned by
rote, but to inculcate the principles of cor
rect and elegant diction by the loss arid
methods of dictation and the analysis of
interesting vending lessons, thus indoc
trinating them gradually and practically
into the intricacies of" grammatical law,
without tho infliction of the headaches,
penal tasks, and weariness of’ the flesh, to
which tho. learned and genial Minister
alludes with an evident commiseration
that makes one suspect he must have
suffered many things in his boyhood under
the rule of pedagogues. ”

Notes.— A letter of inquiry was recently
addressed to the Treasury Department by
a Boston firm, making inquiry into the
different, lengths of United States bills,
from end to end, particularly the ones.
'The Department replies that the ones are
chiefly printed in New York. If they arc
exactly alike, size cannot lx. 1 a criterion of
genuiness, when printed by the ordinary
process because the paper being wetted
before printing, will expand and shrink ir
regularly in the wetting and subsequent
drying, making notes printed from the
plate of irregular length. There is some
times a.difference of from one-quarter to
three-eighths of an inch in the length of
two sheets printed on tho same plate, after
being dried. Such notes as are printed
dry, that is, without wetting the paper,
are consequently all alike when put in cir
eulation. Size can only boa criterion of
genuiness When the paper is printed dry.
Scene in a Ball Boom.—A shocking
scene occurred at a ball at Tliurmaston,
near Leicester, England, on Wednesday
night, January 10th, given by a gentleman
of that village to a party of friends. It
seems that the ball had not been long
begun when the dress of one of the ladies
caught fire through being brought in too
close contact with the fire-grate. Becoming
terrified by her situation, she rushed about
the room and ignited the dresses of three
other ladies, which, being of such light
material, were speedily in a blaze, Mr.
Jacques, house surgeon of the Leicester
Infirmary, Nvho happened to be one of the
party, aided with otuery, extinguished the
flames as quickly as possible, but not
before the ladies had been considerably
burnt —two of them seriously so. Their
injuries wore at once attend; and to, but at
last accounts they wore not out of danger.
The scene in the ball room may be more
readily imagined than described.

this latter fact to be contrary to the theory

The Order of the Lion, of Baden, richly
set with diamonds was recently sent to
Count Bismarck, who returned it with the
remark that the stones were false. This
led to an .investigation which is now going
on, from which it appears that this fraud
has been carried on for some time, so that
a number of decorated individuals have
paste instead of diamonds. Two gentle
men who had pawned their Orders have
now had them returned to them by the
pawnbrokers on account of the imitation
stones.

SENATE.
Washington, February 17.—Sherman’s
I substitute was passed at half-past six
j o’clock this morning, by a vote of 29 to 10.
i It is _ substantially Blaine’s amendment.
Blaine's amendment is as follows:
J “Sections —. And t>c it further enacted,
j That when the constitutional amendment
■ proposed as article 17th by the 39th Cou
j gross shall have become a part of tho Con
j stitution of the United States, and when
> any one of the late so-called Confederate
I States shall have given its assent to the
’ same, and conformed in its constitution
■ and laws thereto in all respects, and when
! it shall have provided by ils constitution
that the elective franchise shall bo enjoyed
by ail male citizens of the United .Stales
g| years old and upward, without regard
to race, color or previous condition of serv
; i tilde, except such as may bo disfranchised
for participating in the late rebellion, or
for felony at common law, andjhave pro
vided by its constitution and laws that all
citizens of ihe United States shall equally j
possess tho right to pursue all lawful avo- ;
cations and business, and to receive equal j
benefits of tho public schools, and ha ve the j
equal protection of all tho rights of citizens j
of tho United States in such States; and j
when said constitution shall liave been
submitted to the voters of said State, as |
thus defined, for ratification or rejection, |
and vvlien the constitution is ratified by the i
vote of the people of said State, shall have
been submitted to Congress for examina
tion and approval, said State shall, if its
constitution be approved hy Congress, be
declared entitled to representation by
Congress, and Senators and Representa
tives shall bo admitted therefrom on their
taking tho oath prescribed by law; and
then and thereafter the preceding, sections
cf this bill shall be inoperative in said
State.”
The bill will meet with serious opposi
tion in the House. Several Republicans,
including Stevens and Brandigee, are re
ported very indignant that the President
is allowed to appoint officers to approve
the death sentence, and that the Federal
Courts arc allowed to issue writs of habeas
corpus. The friends of tho measure ap
prehend that a veto and the bolters will
defeat it. Three Senators, for that reason,
voted nay on the motion to adopt Sher
man’s substitute, viz: Saulsbury, Bucka
lew and Davis. An amendment that all
punishments under the Sherman substitute
be according to law was defeated, ayes S—
nays 29.
Sherman’s substitute lias preamble and
military district provision similar to Stevens
bill, only the President instead of tho G en
eral appoints officers, and the death pen
alty requires the approval of the President.
Habeas corpus is not suspended, beyond
ail interference of the State authority with
the military authority being nullified. Sec
tion 5 is as follows ;
“ When any rebel State shall form a Con
i stitution in conformity with the Coustitu
| lion of tlio United States, framed by a
Convention of delegates elected by male
citizens HI years of age without regard to
race or color, or previous condition, resi
dent In the State one year, except persons
disqualified by participation in the rebel
lion or by felony; and when the Constitu
tion shall provide that the elective fran
chise shall be enjoyed by all persons
qualified to vote for delegates, and has
been-ratified by a majority of the electors
who voted for delegates, and submitted to
Congress and approved, and when the
State Legislature elected under said Con
stitution adopt the Constitutional Amend
ment., and said amendment becomes part
of the National Constitution,• said State
shall be declared entitled to representa
tion, and Senators and Representatives
therefrom shall bo admitted, on taking
the oath required by law.”

the Territorial Law punishing polygamy.
The Bill for suffrage, regardless of sex,

anil that pardons hereafter granted will be
referred to the Judiciary Committee.
The District Committee was instructed
to report a bill prohibiting the sale of
liquor in the District.
A motion, contemplating a withdrawal
of National Bank currency, was tabled.
Sherman’s substitute was then consid
ered.
Stevens moved non-concurrence. He
asked for a Committee of Conference.
Boutwell spoke in opposition to Sher
man’s substitute. He complained that
the bill gave more power to the President,
and the functions of reconstruction to reb
els. We ought to remove from reconstruc.
tion business in South Carolina the Ores,
Pickenses and McGraths. The bill leaves
the work open to any one who may choose
to engage in it. We entrust rebels with
the work of reconstruction of which we are
afraid or incapable.
Stokes opposed it, because lie saw in it
universal amnesty and universal suffrage.
He did not understand the language if it
did not enfranchise every rebel in the
Faith. He preferred the defeat of
Congressional reconstruction measures to
the bill.
Stevens took the ground that the bill
usurped the power of a future Congress,
and afterwards ventilated, with his usual
bitterness, against the President and the ;
Southern people.
Blaine favored the bill, contending that j
it gave more rights than- Congress gave !
Tennessee rebels.
Wilson, of lowa, sustained the bill.
Bingham made a bitter hit at Stevens, ;
showing there was not a single feature in
the bill which he did not at one time or !
other favor by Reconstruction Commit
tecs.
Sebenck, ofOliio, favored the bill as the !
only thing possible.
After further argument Blaine demanded I
the previous question—which was second
ed by a vote of 78 to 64.
A motion that the whole subject be 1
tabled was negatived by a vote of 40 to
1 IS. A recess then took place.

and afterwards took a recess.
The previous question on Sherman sub

agreement, the House took a recess to
seven o'clock, when the Bill will pass un
less its opponents fillibuster. The extreme
Radicals oppose i: violently and the
Democrats determinedly. It eannot pass
over the veto.
SENATE.
Washington, February 19, p. m.—The
bill providing lor the safety ol passengers
on board of steam-propelled vessels was
passed.
The action of the House on Sherman s
Bill was reported. Williams moved that
the Senate insist on its amendment.
Cornuss objected. He thought it too im
portant to entrust to Committees of Con
ference. The difference between the two
houses was a fundamental one. Con

Sumner and Pomeroy advocated a Con

Howard said there should be no eompro
mntng or traffiemg in such important
matters.
Sherman held that they could not re
concile the House without abandoning the
principles of the bill. The opposition came
from extreme sides—the one holding
States now entitled to representation
the other that it was too liberal.
Hendricks didn't think the President I
would shrink from acting if the bill reached j
him. *
Pomeroy repeated his belief, that it
; would not become a law this session, either
1 by conference or otherwise.
, Lane opposed a Conference Committee.
I The difference was elemental and funda
mental. lie was unwilling to abandon a
I Senator's position.
Wade thought the matter too grave to
{ entrust to a Committee at this stage of'the
session, lie preferred beginning the matter
again. Alluding to Fessenden, \\ aae said,
Fessenden's course in being silent hero
and then going to the House to try and
defeat the bill might be honorable, but !
IV ale did not like it The discusaon pro
ceeded to great length, mostly of a per
sonal character, showing an utter want of
harmony. The Senate finally insisted on j
its amendment and refused a Conference j
Committee without a division.

Committee Reports.
i Washington, February 22.—The South
Carolina Murder Committee have report
ed, strongly questioning the action of
Judge Hall, who released the alleged"
murderers. The report asserts that O. H.
Browning, for one thousand dollars fee,
made an argument before the President,
urging that the prisoners be brought
within the reach of the writ of habeas
corpus in Northern Courts. The Com
mittee makes the following - deductions
from the evidence of Generals Scofield,
Thomas, M ood and Baird. The punish
ment of crime upon soldiers, Union men
and freedmen cannot be relied upon in
their departments. Neither the magis
trates nor jurors are disposed to discharge
their duty in this respect. There is no
change for the better, but rather for the
worse. The Committee uggests military
rule as the only practical cure for the
alleged evils.

! REVIEW 0F Tllb AUGUSTA MARKET,

should be borne in mind that our
quotations represent wholesale prices. Small \
bills, to Planters and others, are filled at a !
shade higher rates.]
COTTON.— Although the markets of 1
Rherpool and New York have been heavy j
and declining, the former having fallen gd. j
since our last review, and the latter fuliy j
1 cent, the Augusta market has sustained
itself, prices remaining about the same.
This has been owing to the fact that orders
trom abroad had to bo filled. Holders j
have no disposition to yield to the decline j
in outside markets, and, consequently, our j
quotations are steady mftl unchanged. On
tlie 22d very little business was done. j
Some sales were made at the rates of the j
previous day. The following shows the
operations of the week:
Saturday.— A better feeling prevailed in
themarket to-day than on yesterday, though

The chemical and mechanical.conditions of this Guano fit it
admirably for the purposes of the planterjparticularly for
cotton and corn crops. TLc Phosphate of Lime is almost as
finely divided as when coming from dissolved bones or decay
ed cotton seed. The whole of it will, therefore be likely to
be appreciated by planters the first year, provided It is not ap
plied in too large proportions., The proportions of water is
about eight per cent, above what might have been expected,
but, at the price demanded, it is still one ol the cheapest Fer
tilizers I have ever known offered in this market. Mixed with
from 5 to 10 per cent, best Peruvian Guano, I should anticipate
the most satisfactory returns.
