THE SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES. VOL. 6—\’O. 13. THE SILVER QUESTION REPRESENTATIVE BUCKNER’S BILL. No Hope of Getting it PasH< <1 this Session —The Financial Question one of the Great Troubles With Which Mr, Cleveland Will Have to Contend. Washington, Jan. B.—Repre=entative Buckner has been quoted recently as telling Secretary McCulloch that Lis bill to sus pend silver coinage would pass the House at this session. Mr. Buckner has denied having made any such statement. On the contrary, he said he had no hope of getting his bill out of the coinage committee or be fore the House. The most he could hope for in the way of silver legislation by this Congress was a bill to authorize the Presi dent, in his discretion, to suspend the coin age of silver. Mr. Buckner declared that he introduced and favored this bill as a true friend of silver. He said: “Some people have charged me with having turned a aiist silver. Now, to be candid, silver must go down, I believe, before it can get up to its proper level with gold. There is a strong bimetallic sentiment in France and Germany. Bismarck is ready to-day t 6 enter into a movement to restore silver to i’B proper monetary value in the commercial world I feel sure from information I have that he would unite with France and the United States in establishing and maintain ing a bimetallic standard. If we had a Cabinet that was friendly to silver, such a union would have been brought about before now. In'England the bimetallic sentiment is decreasing rapidly We have tried to make lhe fight for silver alone. I mean thi United Stales has tried to make silver money go, but’jt is plain we can’t d> it alone. The dollar is good enough in this country, but none of it goes out as money. Other na tions won’t take it; but so long as we struggle they stand aside and leads us to bear the burden. 1 bold that if we stop coinage for a while and let the other na-f --lives see that we don’t intend to keep u|> the struggle, their monetary necessities will foree them very soon to join in es tablishing a bimetalic standard. Why 1 had assurances when the Bland bill was passed that if we would let the silver ques lion alone for awhile England would offer to join with us, as a means of relieving her own financial troubles. We must make sil ver a coin of the world if it is to do us any good, or it is to be of commercial value to us. From what I learn the silver senti ment is growing so fast in England thajt that government will have to do something “I fear that we are just at the beginning of financial trouble. The financial question is going to be the great problem for Clevei land’s administration to solve. National bank currency will retire rapidly. Some of the bills pending, McPherson’s for instance, if passed, may check this, but it will be only for awhile. They say they are opposed to stopping the coinage of silver because they wart it to supply the place of currency thai will be retired. But I say we can bsue silver certificates upon the bullion just as well as upon the coin. We need not coin it to hoard it up. I tell you, England is much worse off than we are. She’s got to do somethiug, and her relief will be found in helping to make silver take its place wit|h gold. Groesbeck, one of the staunchest friends of silver in this country, says stop its coinage for awhile. THE HICABAGDA TREATY. Present Chances Decidedly Unfavo-abl« to Its Ratification. Washington, Jan. 8. —Within a few days considerable lobbying has been going on both for and against the Nicaragua treaty, aid it becomes more and more evident hour ly that the fight in the Senate is going to be an extremely bitter one, with the chances decidedly, at this time, unfavorable to its ratification. The fight against the treaty is mainly directed by people who feel an inter est in the DeLesseps canal, although there are some persons who are opposed to both canals and want to see the government let them severely alone. It is claimed for the administration that it is not attempting to exert any influence over Smators to secure their votes, but it is content to let the mat ter rest upon its alleged merits and the bene fits which it is claimed will accrue to this country if the treaty is ratified. SOUTH AND CENTRAD AMERICA. How Better Commercial Intercourse with Them May be Secured. Washington, Jan. B—The South and Central American Commission have re ported to the President the result of their labors. Thus far they find that to secure better commercial relations with the South ern countries, there must be regular and direct steam communication, commercial treaties and tariff concessions, simp l er cus toms rules, better consular service and branch houses of American firms, attention to the wants of the people, a better banking system and the introduction of the bonded warehouse system into those countries. They favor a government board of trade, like that in Eigland, to take entire care of our foreign commerce. GENERAL GRANT’S TROUBLES. Pecuniary Assistance to Meet the Emer gency Already Secur d. Washington, Jan. 8. —While General Sherman is unwilling to publicly express his views relative to the probability of help for General Grant, it is confidently believed by the friends of the latter that the matters at issue will be so adjus’ed that no injnry to General Grant’s interests will result. It is reported that pecuniary assistance sufficient to meet the emergency has already been secured. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1885. TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS AGO. I Ceremonies at the Inauguration of James , Buchanan. Cleveland Leader. When Buchapsn was inaugurated on the 4th of March, 1857, Washington was hard ly more than a village, scattered over ter- I ritory large enough for an immense city, j It contained less than 60,000 inhabitants, I and what were then considered the finest houses were just below the Capitol and above the avenue. The fashionable north west part of the city was a swamp, and even the negro huts which later sprang up had not yet appeared. The whole country con , tained less than thirty millions of popula tion. Still, the records state that 150,000 strangers came to the inauguration, and on the n-ght of the 3d of March thousands walked the streets to keep warm, being un , able to procure lodgings. Several of the hotels, small as they were then, had 800 guests registered, and every boarding house was packed, halls, cellar and garret. March 3 was a bleak winter day, and the President-elect rose before daybreak at his home at Wheatlands, Pa., and had finished breakfast before he started for Lancaster in his carriage. He had written and rewritten his inaugural message, and had made only one change in it after he got ’ to Washington. A crowd of Lancaster citi , zens came to Wheatlands to escort him.t > the depot, and a band of music played while he rode into town with h’s private secretary, , Mr. Henry, Harriet Lane and another young lady in his carriage. At the Lancaster station he found a spe cial car waiting for him, built for the ' occasion by Robert Magrew, a railroad friend of his. This car had painted windows, and theie represent'd the scenes about Wheat ' lands, Buchanan’s home. All along the loads from Lancaster to Washington ova tions were given the President-elect, but he arrived in Washington two houis earlier than was expected, and the programme of his reception here was rather thin. He was driven at once to the National Hotel, which still stands on Pennsylvania avenue, half way between the Capitol and , Treasury, and here he was crowded with ' visitors.' Nearly even b-dy was admitted, and politicians, office seekers and disinter ested parties pushed this way and that to get at him. That night, says Gohight, he received invitations to dine with President Pierce, Stephen A. Douglass, and others, . but he declined all invitations. All night of the' third of March, 1857, Congress was in session. The 4th broke , bright and sunny, with an atmosphere full ’ of the blandness of spring. As it did,s-> hundreds of people were already at their stands to get an early watch point for the procession, and the City Hall steps, where it was to organize, were crowded. At 12 o’clock the procession was formed and it marched to Willard’s Hotel, at the head of Pennsylvania avenue, near the Treasury, where the two Presidents, Pierce and Buchanan, were to meet and go to the Capitol in the same carriage. President Pierce was a few minutes late. Be came in a private carriage, and the crowds , cheered as he and Buchanan shook hands . at the Fourteenth street do >r of the hotel ’ and entered the open barouche prepared ‘ for them. With them rode Senators Rig , ler, of Pennsylvania, and Foote, of Ver , mont. The procession was long. It was , made up of military organizitions, citizens I and clubs, and in it were two Pennsylva , nians who, it is said, walked sixty miles to be present at the inauguration of “Old Buck,” as they called him. One wagon represented peace, war, commerce and ag riculture, and bore a liberty pole in its centre running up seventy feet with ’ a gorgeous liberty cap on its top. The President-elect was near the head of the procession, and near him, through ’ out the ceremonies, was a physician ; ready to administer medicines should the little touch which he had caught of the ’ National Hotel disease prove dangerous. At the Capitol 50,000 people were present, ’ and it is recorded that Beau Hickman was s among them, passing from one to another s and soliciting small loans. The inaugural I address was delivered on the east portico of ■ the Capitol, and the President. was duly > sworn in. As the oath was administered it i is said it was as still as death, and at the close of the inauguration there were cheers, salvos of artillery, and music by the Marine . Band. The President then proceeded to the White House, which ex President Pierce had vacated, and here Buchanan received the people. The inauguration > ball that night was held in a room prepared for it in connection with the City Hall, and thousands were present. As Buchanan came in, at 9:30, the band struck up “Hail to the Chief,” and here another reception was held for several hours, when the President left at about midnight. He took supper before he went away, and it is said that the feast on this occasion was very fine. Good wine flowed like water, and there were 500 gallons of oysters and 800 chickens.

A Lively Row in Kentucky—A Fight Which Lasted Two Hours—Several Killed and Wouaded—Great Ex citement Prevailing. Mt. Vernon, Ky., Jan. 8. —There is serious trouble in this county between the whisky dealers and officials, and last night there was a lively row at Lexington, a railroad stationjon Rock Castle river junction of the Kentucky Central Railroad with the Knoxville branch. Deputy Sheriff James White went to arrest James and Henry Burton, brothers, charged with aiding J. W. Gaff, said to be engaged in an illegal whisky traffic, to escape from the officers who had him under arrest last week. The Burtons barricaded their saloon doors, and with friends on the inside, defied arres’. A ■ posse of fifteen men were summoned and the Burtons surrendered. On the way to the jail James Burton tried to escape, but wa tired upon and killed by the posse. Burton’s friends, some ten in number, then attacked t e posse, and the firing became general and continued for two hours. Pa ticulars are ■ meagre, but several men are reported to ' have been killed and wounded, among the n ' Judge Bullock, who was shot in the arm There is much excitement. SHOT HIS ANTOGONIST.

A Young Woman Chasing Steers—A Tes- * timonial from the Cowboys. Midland, Texas Special. There is an ocean of prairie about this new town, and it risesand falls as fast as the eye can reach like the swell of a troubled sea. With a strong glass one can see in the distance a mass of sheep tended by a , lonely shepherd, in a yellow “slicker” cr oilskin ulster, and a black Spanish shepheid dog. Herds of antelope following a leader scamper across the plains, stirring up flocks i of Mexican quail and prarie chickens, and , causing excitement in the prarie dog towns, where the fat rodents plunge head first into their holes and then stick out their 1 heads to Bee what startled them. Like a dark cloud on the horizon, great herds of cattle appear in the distance, either in mo tion or under the guard of cowboys hold ing them. The herd of Col. A. W. Dunn, President of the Colorado Na ' tional Bank, came upon the ‘ plains the other day, and the Colonel came here with his niece, Miss Marie Bynum, of - Mississippi, to “cut out,” as the phrase goes, ' the beeves that were ready for market, and to pen them in the cattle pens at the rail road station. The wild Texas steers were 1 full of life and run, and the cow boys had 1 their hands full, with all their skill, to get ' them penned. Colonel Dunn, who is a ’ typical cow man, mounted a mustang to help the Cow boys, and his niece insisted upon going with him.. could not be per suaded that there was any danger in the adventure, or that her dress and sex placed her at any disadvantage in an effort for which the cow boys were rigged with Mexi- 1 can spurs, big leather leggings, three or four | revoivers, lariats at their saddle horns, big [ white sombreros, with fattiesnake skins twisted about them; and watch chains of snake rattles. She insisted that if she could get a swift pony and a side saddle she would show that she could ride alongside of the j wildest steer and turn him in spite of his dangerous horns. The pony was provided, and Miss Bynum, placing her foot in the hand of a cow boy, leaped into the saddle, : and gathering up the reins dashed off with a hearty laugh, followed by her escort of I cow b >ys, who spun over the prairie after her. Sue reined up as they caiue into the i herd, as-the process of selection of the beeves required a quick judgment that only expe I rience gives. The cowboys went into the herd, and their trained ponies, when they Were point ed to steers that were to be “cut out,” rani them out of the herd, and, as soon as a bunchi was formed, the cowboys swung around 1 them, and Miss Bynum, with a lash made of the end of the reins, started her i pony forward, and joined in the semi-circle; and started the steers to the pen. The wo; k ’ was exciting to a novice, anil the fair cow i girl’s cheeks flushed as she sped along A big brown steer, all branded over, reared upj and breaking out of the line, tossed his horns ' and his tail up, and started off like a deer; Miss Bynum whirled her pony, and started after the animal. She did her work brave ly. The cowboys watched her with ; ;mi» raiion. Her pony dashed alongside of the steer, and the cowboys expected that, as the animal turned, he would catch his horns in her drapery, or she would plunge over the pony’s head as he turned with the 1 steer. They saw her stop as tii'e steer turned and balance herself like a skilled | equestrienne, and then head off the steer : and turn him back. Soon she came dashing back alongside the steer and landed him in the bunch that was headed for the pen. Several of the cowboys pronounced her a a “thoroughbred” hand for a “long horn”— their choicest compliments, for, in the fer tile vocabulary of the cowboy, the terms “half breed” and "short horn” are equiva lent to the “tender foot” of days gone by, with, perhaps, a shade more of derision to them. Miss Bynum, when the first lot of cattle was penned, dashed back to the herd, and, with a little instruction, began to help “cut out” the cattle. Each trip from the herd to the pen was marked by some exciting chase of a steer, and each time the young woman bore herself bravely, and she did j not let a single steer escape. When at the j pen, of which the cattle, with apparent consciousness of their impending fate after I the long trip to Chicago, showed fear, they tried hard to escape. With heads down, [ the steers that could would dart past the , ponies and dash away, and the nearest cow | boy would touch his spurs to the pony’s side, | and paint him and start on the chase. The j wild Texas steers are swift-footed, and it takes a good rider to pass one and turn him, but Mi l s Bynum was equal -io every steer that invited her pony to a run. Although she was in imminent danger of being ; dragged off her mount by ihe horns of some ' steer striding into her riding habit, she was ! able to manage her skirts as well as her ■ pony, and when the task was ended she con i temp ated the forest of horns in the cattle pen with sparkling eyes and rosy cheeks. That night, when the cowboys were drink ; ing their black coffee and eating their I jerked buffalo meat, they agreed to present I Miss Bynum with some token of their ap \ predation of her assistance, and a few days , ago there came to the bank at Colorado a massive gold ring, inscribed, “To Miss Bynum, from the Texas cowboys.” Colonel Dunn presented the shining circle of gold to his niece, and said that he hoped it would signify an engagement of her services at the annual round-up on the plains. “I never enjoyed anything so much in all my life,” said Miss Bynum to the writer, “and, would you believe it? I didn’t hear the cowboys quote Scripture once. lam going to ride at. the next round-up, and I expect to do much better. I’il show them I what a cowgirl can do.” I Health is better than wealth, but wealth I will bring health to all sufferers from disease I of the kidneys, liver and unlnary organs, if A is expended In judicious amounts for the old reliable Hunt's [Kidney and Liver] Remedy.

THE CONTEST ENDED AN EXCITING BUT QUIET ELECTION Large Number of Votes Poll.d—Eve y Precaution Taken to Secure a Fair Count—The Canvassing Still Progressing—Result So Far as Ascertained. Even the oldest citizens of Savannah say that the election of yesterday wgs the warm est and most closely contested one of which they have any recollection. From 2 o’clock until the closing of the polls at 6 the voting was kept up at a lively rate, and it was as much as the managers and tally-sheet keepers could do to handle the votes as fast as they were handed in. It Seems that later in the day money became plentiful, and was freely given for votes when there was a chance to capture one with lucre. Who had the money it is hard to tell, or who bought the votes, but it nevertheless remains a fact that the common talk around the polls was that votes were selling at anything from a cigar or drink up to a $1 or $2 As the contest neared the end it was easy to see that it was not a pigmy battle, but one in which every muscle and nerve of the oppos ing parties were strain’d to their utmost : tension. Later in the day the contest be tween Ronan and Russell for the office of j Sheriff seemed to claim the undivided at- I | tention of all. Russell was on the ground lin person, and worked like a beaver, leav- I ing open not a foot of vantage grounl uncovered. The friends of Ronin saw the necessity of sharp, quick j work also, and put in every vote it was ■ possible to handle, determined to leave no I I chance open for the defeat of their chosen candidate. All the other candidates fur I offices in which there was any opposition ; were not loitering either, but did what they could to better their chances. The inten seat feeling was manifested :e ;ard . ing the contest of Ferrill and Harailtun, for the cffice of Ordinary. The Dienls of both hent’e men were on the ground and everywhere I opposing a solid front to each other, and the battle waged was one in which no quarter was given or asked. At last the polls were announced close ’, and the boxes taken up stairs to the Supe j rior C urt Room; all the gas was lighted, a ' I large supply of candles was on hand and every ■ facility for the rapid counting of the votts I provided. The intensity of feeling among the friends of each contestant was quite , observable, and even the short rest taken bv the managers and list keepers to get a , \ little air and something to stay their hunger I after a long day’s confinement at hard work, was begrudged them. Howevtr, the work of counting was begun soon after 7 /clock. That each candidate present was somewhat dubious as to the re sult was . quite evident even to a I careless observer. Prominent among i the candidates were the two con ! testants for the Sheriffalty. Waring' Russell I was on-the inside of the railing, his eyes; bright and spt.rkling, and his | glance taking in everything ;at once. : First he would sit down with his hat shoved somewhat back, off his brow; then he would stand up or walk around among his friends, making a few desultory remarks. Although it was confidently believed aud claimed that he was elected, it was easy to see that he was not altogether at ease, and in: ended to watch things with an eagle eye. John T Ronan was just inside the railing also, and leaned against it, talking io a small party of friends. He did not move from his position but kept very quiet, only speaking when addressed. His felt hat was shoved back leaving his brow exposed to view; his eyes took in every detail of the situation, acd while he betrayed no outward signs of agi tation, it was easy to see that his mental j feelings were by no means the most placid. | At last, Superintendent M. Frank Mo- I lina, announced that all was in readiness to ' begin the count, and stated that as this was a more than ordinarily close con test,the laws governing the counting of votes would be enforced to the utmost. It was the law to have three tally sheet keepers, said he, who=e duty it was to keep each a separate tally, not depending one on the ether for corrections, and it was expected that each would do his best to pievent a m stake or descrepancy from creeping into the count. However, should one differ from the other two the one differing would be thrown out, and the two tallying would be accepted as correct, according to the majority rule. As i soon as this announcement was made, the business of counting the votes begun, boxes Nos. 1 and 2 being opened at once. At this juncture,Mr. Waring Russell noticed some one or more of the managers had lead pencils in their possession, and asked Su perintendent Molina why it was, and for what purpose. Superintendent Molina re plied that if they had them, they were not to be used for any illegal purpose, and he would see to it that they were not in the hands of the managers when the count begun. This satisfied Mr. Russell, whose fears were thus appeased. The work of counting was then commenced in earnest, and kept up until after 1 o’clock, when the counting of box No. 1 was completed with the result as below given. Supt. Molina adjourned the work of counting until to day at 9:30 o’clock. He instructed the managers of each box to replace the votes taken out in their respective boxes, to lock and seal the boxes, put the keys thereof in their pockets and turn the boxes over to the Sheriff of Chatham county for safe keeping. At this point a friend of Mr. Russell came to Superin tendent Molina and asked if Mr. Russell would not be allowed to have some one stay in the court room and watch the boxes, to see that all was right. The request was promptly refused on the ground that the law does not allow such proceeding; that it is the Sheriff’s province to guard them, acd that if one candidate was allowed to place a watchman in the room the same privilege would have to be accorded the other esn didatesi Thus the boxes were left in cus tody of the party legally appointed. $6 00 A YEAR. The <■ tint was again commenced at 9:30 and proceeded slow’v Alirgec-owd was in the court room all t“c morning, anx- I ioiisly awaiting the result. At two o’clock < a sta rt recess was ordered by Superintend ent Molina in order to taxe dinner. As S'xm as dinner was finished it was intended II to go on with the count as fast as possible, though it will doubtiiss be late to-night before it is completed. “At three o’clock three of the brxes had l>een counted out, aud the result wis as . follows: FOR ORDINARY.

Waterbury was only a little vil ; iage at that time, and it had no railway I communications. It was also before the I days of the telegraph, and a number of pb ! iiticans made up a pure and hired Col, I Richard Welton, proprietor of the New I Haven stage line, to make a special trip to I New Haven and get the returns. I The crowd waited anxiously on the tav- I era steps all through the afternoon of the ! day of Col.
