We are inoxjiressdbiy pained to
loeonl the (loath of Mm. Frond*
Fontaine, which so l event occurred
in this city, about noon yesterday, at
the residence of Mr. H. 11. Epping.
Hut, a few abort, years have elapsed
since Mrs. Fontaine was among us,
the beautiful Miss Mamie Flournoy,
and it is indeed hard to realize that
tier cheerful voloo is now hushed in
the silence, of death. Genial and kind
In her nature, happy and affeetionate
in her disposition, she endeared her
self to hundreds of friends, whose
eyes will be bathed in sorrow at the
announcement of her death, just us
she hud entered thy threshold of
married life. Her name was the
synonym of purity and loveliness.
The bereaved husband, widowed mo
ther, and her two little children, have
the heartfelt sympathies of all who
know therm

Ah, how more beautiful she'll rise!
“Hands to the stainless breast,

Rumor. About the slate Treasury.
During the lust week, wo have learn
ed from ]>rWt sources, and street
rumors, Hint tile Investigation of the
Treasury showed some Irregularities
In that department.
We mention it, now that it: has be
come generally talked of, as a simple
act of justice to the Treasurer, Col. j
Jack Jones. From tin- best form that
the rumor has assumed, we gather the
following: Of the $1,003,128.88 report
ed us on hand in the Treasury on the
fiqst of hist. January, only sloo,two is
found -a discrepancy* that is said to
bo the result of the payment of bonds
aTtd'eAuprms of Which no return was
made. The Macon Telegraph says,
“that certain "bonus of flic State, run
ning back ns far as the administration
of Governor McDonald, have been
tluplianhul and oven triplicated, as to
series, numbers,, and amounts, and
paid mttre Hum once. ”
We allude to this matter for the :
pttropse of quieting these rumors, as,
we have learned from a member of
the Finance Committee that all such
fs'ire iintiuttuMzed by them, and
that when thyir. investigations are
over the’ jieople will know whom to
censure.
The friends of Jack Jones are more
than satisfied that nothing is wrong
ipt'far $s he is concerned, fur his
palf record is a full guarantee
of his high integrity, and uncompro-,
mining honpsty. Ho held office when
rascality was at u premium, and yet
Ilia name has never been tainted even '■
by S suspicion. Our people should
not heed such rumors about a citizen :
who suffered imprisoment, rather
than give tive people’s monoy*to tho
military government; but sent the
money to Canada, and when Geor
gians wore again in power brought it
back and faithfully accounted for
ids stewardship. This fact, alone,
should sootue to him a suspension
of public opinion until the investiga
tion is over, although the press and
the people,.ue far as heard from, have
not questioned Ids integrity.
(>itral Itallrond UiNfrlnilimflon.
The Eufauln papers have been
commenting at a rapid rate on (he
Central Hail road discrimination
against them, and in favor of Colum
bus.
Wo do not know or pretend to
judge whether they are discriminat
ed against Faifaula, but one thing we
can assure them, that Columbus is
not the favorite. At considerable
trouble, we Obtained the following
cotton rates from Montgomery, and
give them to the public, and to our
Eufauln friends, that they mqy see
whether Columbus is favored by this
powerful line.
From Montgomery by all lines,
(including the Central,) the freight
to Boston is SI.IU; Columbus pays
sl/20. To New York from Montgom
ery SI.Qi); from Columbus sl.lO. To
Chicopee, Lowel, Spriflgfieid, and
other manufacturing towns $1.10;
while Columbus pays from $1.31 to
$1.38.
Those arc the rates, and yet Cos.
iambus is one hundred miles nearer
to t he above places,than is Montgom
ery, still we are formal to pay much
higher freights. We do not think
such discrimination just, for it ma
terially effects our city. Columbus
is u cotton market of note, and but
for this discrimination, would soon
bo one of tire Important ccftton mar
kets of tho country. Why is it that
tho Centra! line will use their author
ity to stiffle Columbus, when she
places thousands of dollars annually
in her coffers ? Wo would like for
someone to explain it to tho mer
chants of Columbus who suffer from
the unfair discriminations.
The merchants and shippers do not
coiuphiiu of the price charged, for
they agree with us, that tho officers
of this road owe it to the stock-hold
ers to make the line self-sustaining,
blit they dye-object Hi the discrimina
tion. If we had a competing line
like Montgomery Ims, this injustice
would not be dealt out to our citizens
to their disadvantage, and to the
benefit of a rival market.

Student.— Thorn are not as many
synonymous words in the English
language as you suppose; indeed,
some philologists contend that there
are no two words but have some shade
of difference. Tuko, as an example,
the words safe and secure. They ore
not ox4ct synonyms. “Secure” is com
pounded from tho Latin - so, apart
from, or free from; vara, euro. One
may, therefore, be really in a posi
tion of groat peril, and yet feel quite
secure. Again we often see a lady
unwilling ty pass by an. old cow in
the street; she being altogether safe,
but by no means secure.
Cohtmbux. The generation in which
a man lives may fail to do him jus
tice, but posterity rarely assigns him
to an improper place iu history, lien
edict Arnold’s treason was a cold,
crafty, heartless attempt to surrender
the fortress of West Point and a
whole American army; and his private
grievances and complaints against the
Continental Congress wore no pallia
tion. He wrote a pamphlet to justify
himself, which did not even procure
for him the respect of tlio English
people, among whom ho died. They
hugged tlie treason, but despised tile
traitor. Of course, ns you suggest, he
might have been rated a little differ
ently had his attempt succeeded, and
had the (-Atonies failed of tlieir inde
pendence ; just as we have among us
now men. high in the favor of the
United States Government, whom our
success would and ought to have eon
signed to infamy.
S. H. T. - All the world agrees with
you in your theory that accomplish
ments, amiability, excellencies of
mind and character are ol more im
portance than female beauty, and yet
the same world always has and
always will prize and praise the latter
most. The celebrated Madame Do
fitoel, whose homeliness of person
I was only surpassed by the beauty of
] her intellect, was often heard to say
j that she had never seen the day she
J would not, surrender all her fame
in exchange for surpassing beauty. I
I Queen Elizabeth, noted for her mas- 1
1 culinities in many respects, listened \
i with complacency, at sixty-five years j
of age, to tlie barefaced flatteries of :
those who nought a near cut to;
her heart by praising her wonderful j
beauty.
Lethe. As your Hum tie plume im-!
ports, we would be glad if it was
of our nature to forget many things;
but some wo can not nor do we tiiink ;
the Southern people ever will. We I
differ with you us to tlie “conserva
tism'’ of Gen. Gherman; and your!
allusion to bis “liberal terms,” as'
agreed upon with Gen. J. E. John-;
ston, is peculiarly unfortunate in view j
of the fact that, when Sherman per- i
ceived that his “terms” were unpop-1
ular in the North, lie freely stated it
was n ruse to disarm the "rebels,” ;
and then it was for the Government
to dictate as they saw proper! No
man of Sherman’s natural coarseness
! and brutality could possibly lie con
servative.
You are mistaken. Andrew Jackson
| was not purely a military man. He
! was Representative in Congress from
| Tennessee, United States Senator, and
Judge of tlie Supreme Court, long
! before tie was in military life, or was
j elected President. We admit, that lie
I was a success. Wish we had more
I like him.

Charles M. X.—The reason (lie
; French language is so much like the
Latin is that when Julius Ctosar*con
quered Gaul, now France, it became
part of the Roman Empire. The lan
guage of the Romans supplanted that
of the Gauls, and the mixture of
other races after the fail of the em
pire gave us the present French
language.
A. H. T. Nobody seems to know
the origin of the Gypsies. The the

Fair Warning to Alabama Thieves.
The Legislature of Alabama inis
just passed a law abolishing the re
cognizance law, and from this time
those thieves and vagrants strolling
over Alabama had better seek a more
congenial clime.
This is a wise thing in the Legisla
ture, and none but and Radical body,
j and black at that, would ever have
j put such a law upon the statute
books of a State that despises crime.
; It is said that self-protection is the
; first law of nature, and we suppose
the Legislature that passed such a
disgraceful law acted upon that max
im. Now that it is no longer a law,
the hens can cackle without fear of
j having their nests robbed, while the
old sows won’t be afraid to grunt and
j root.
The election of Dr. DeKoven to the
j Illinois Bishopric has revived the
controversy about Ritualism, tempo
j rarily quieted by the last General
j Convention of the Protestant Episco
pal Church. Dr. DeKoveu’s accept
ance by the standing committees of
the church would be likely to cause
schism, and his rejection would lead
to widespread dissatisfaction. His
friends and opponents are alike ac
tive. There is an unusual amount of
plain speech on both sides, and neith
er part}' is acting merely on tho de
fensive.
Tmf arithmetic man of the Boston
Post says that, “of the seven daily
| papers in New York that supported
the Republican party when it came
into power, six are now outspoken in
theirnnti-Republiean sentiments, and
the seventh manifests a very weak at
tachment for the party in power.”

WABinsaTON, Feb. 18, 1875.
THE HimmoN.,
Every day, (“Very hour, the breach
in Hie Republican party widens. The
more patent the determination of
Grant to be his own successor to the
Presidency, the more resolute become
his Republican opponents. And, so
fur, he lias tlie best of them ; because
they, the Blaine and Colliding fac
tions, hate each other as bitterly as
either of them hates Grant. If they i
were united, they could beat him, and
he and his parasites know It; hence
their policy is to foment discord j
among the party lenders, especially j
among rival aspirants for the next
Presidential nomination. Grant’s
late tergiversation on the Arkansas
question, following so close upon the
heels of the high-handed, unconsti
tutional interference in the domestic
affairs of Louisiana, is well under
stood by moderate Republicans to be
an unscrupulous bid for negro influ- j
once; mill they (to not see how they!
can head him off. Butler, who is ids j
fetus Achates, or, I should say, his
Menhir, and by all odds the oblest
manager In the Republican party,
knowing that he can do nothing for j
himself directly, has been working,
successfully thus far,and will contin
ue to work, for the retention of Grant
in the White House. He dislikes
Colliding, utterly detest*Blaine, and
has nothing to hope for from any pos
sible Republican President but Grant.
Butler knows tliut. if he can succeed
in securing the renomination and
election of Grant against Hie pro
nounced will of the Republican party
of Massachusetts, ho, Butler, will en
joy as his reward, the sweet revenge
of controlling every Federal appoint
ment in that State, thus smoothing
j ids way to the Gubernatorial chair,
! which lias When for years the goal of
his ambition. It is Butler that got
Grant to favor the passage of the Civ
il Rights bill, to which the latter was
outspokenly opposed a short time
ago, saying that he would veto it, if !
it passed tlie two Houses; it is Butler
who inspired Grant's interference in
the Louisiana imbroglio; it is Butler
who induced Grant to go bock on his
deliberately formed and positively ex
pressed opinions only a few months
ago on the Arkansas muddle, and it
is Butler who Is now eoneocting with j
Grant measures to Vie sprung upon
tlie country during tho coming recess
of Congress, which will make tlie re
nomination and re-election of the lat
ter necessary to tlie existence of the
Republican party.

have been frequently closeted with;
Grant, within a few days. Fred's
special work will be, of course, to'
convince the darkies, all over the |
country, that Grant is the only man '
who can save the recently manumit
ted slaves from being returned to !
bondage, and those who were free
before the war from being deprived
of the rights secured to them by the
14th and 15th articles of the amend
ments to the Constitution. Butler’s
scheme is bold, but simple. Grant
must have, somehow or other, an
army, of at least, 100,000 men, aud
tlie authority to suspend at will, all
issues of the Writ of habeas corpus.
It Will be easy for ins myrmidons to
provoke the spirited population of
tho Bout hern States to resist wan
ton and insolent interference with
their domestic affairs; such resis
tance will be termed rebellion ; mar
tial law will bo proclaimed ; the writ
of habeas corpus will be suspended;
and Butler will be made military dic
tator of the rebellions States. Under
Butler, tlie State Government of the
South will be Africanized; tho sever
al Legislatures will pass resolutions
in favor of a third term for Grant;
and a National Convention of Color
ed men will nominate Grant for the
Presidency as the candidate of the
negroes, to lie voted for by them, no
matter who else may lie put forward
by the National Republican Conven
tion ; thus forcing that Hod} either to
adopt Grant, or, which they would
not be likely to do. knock the Itepub
j lie.m party into smithereens beyond
! all hope of re-integration, and vir*
jtmiily handing over the adminisfm
; tion of tlie Government to tlie Dcm
-1 eruts without a struggle, by going
I into the fight with two candidates in
the field.
When asked, tho other day, by one
!of the less resolute members of the
Radical party, with reference to the
Southern programme, “How are you
going to get your troops for the
! maintenance of order in the Hourly
when the lltli paragraph of tlie Sth
section of the Ist article of the Con-j
stitution, clothes Congress with the!
power ‘to raise and support armies?’
You certainly do not think that the
44th Congress will raise aud support
an army for the purpose under con
sideration- that of interfering in the
domestic quarrels of the several
Southern States?” Butler’s answer
' was “The loyal Governors and Leg
islatures of the Southern States
themselves, and for that matter, of
the Northern States also, will only be
too glad to furnish troops, and the
facts of an armed rebellion existing,
and Congress not being in session,
will be the President's justification
for calling upon these Governors and
State Legislatures for immediate aid,
and their justification for granting
it.
1 have the very best authority for
saying that the above statements are
an outline of the projects of the
third-term men
AN EXTRA SESSION.
is one thing that Grant and Butler
wish to stave off, if they can; be
cause they desire, during the long
recess, to use the Capitol building, as
j it has been used by the Republican
! party for nearly sixteen years, as a
huge office, rent free, for preparing
party documents and mailing them
all over the country. True, the
i House of Representatives of the 43d
1 Congress will not have legal control
; of tiny portion of the Capitol after 12
i o’clock of March the lth; but their
creatures will, if the 41th Congress
| doos not assemble on that day and
] organize. If it falls to organize,
there will be left in charge of the
; House end of the building a Republi
; can Clerk of the House, .Scfgeaut-at-
Arms, Doorkeeper and Postmaster,
I and an army of about 13.1 employees
Jof various grades, all Republicans
land all upon the payrolls of the
| House and receiving their salaries
j monthly, just us if the House were in
! session, at Hie rates of from ss,uou
down to $720 a year. The aggregate
of tho yearly salaries of these men
! is about $251,518 a year, two-thirds of
j which sum, $167,076, will lie paid to
them, during the eight months of the
recess, for writing, copying, folding
pasting and addressing Grant docu
ments. The balance "f the contin
gent fund of tlie House will also be
used for part}- purposes, beyond a
doubt; and if it be necessary at any
time to send spies and other emissa
i ries to the South, to stir up strife and
■ manufacture evidence, men will be
! detailed for that description of work.
Butler will be in clover. For, al
though lie may not appear in the
matter, himself, he will be the lead
ing spirit. If the House employees
| are found not sufficient in number,
there will be no more difficulty than
has ever been found before in get
ting men und women detailed from
the different executive departments
to help the “party of progress.” j
Again, there are 42Capitol policemen j
and watchmen tho aggregate of j
whose salaries is $71,533 80, and the
Librarian and his 13 assistants whose
united salaries amount to #27,000.
These men are all Republicans, and
nine-tenths of them would be willing
tools of Butler and Grant for any
work intended to secure the renomi
nation and re-election of the latter,
rather than be struck off the pay-roll.
It is not easy to see upon what
grounds Lite leaders of the Opposi
tion in tlie House can justify their
neglect, at this critical period of our
i national existence, to secure, by irhat
eree stratagem, an extra session of
Congress on the 4th of March. Grant
and Butler need watching at ul!
times ; but now that their purpose to
rule or ruin is so appurent.lt would
be a crime beyond the pale of for
| giveness to turn the South over to
j their exclusive domination for eight
mouths, to supply them during that
time with oommitteee rooms, fuel,
gas, a line library, stationery ail libi
tum, the balance of the House contin
gent fund, the bruins and labor of
! about 175 men with good monthly
| salaries it would be un tiiipardona
! ble blunder to supply these aids, and
'incidentally others, to men engaged
iin plotting against the liberties of
I tho country. Let there lie an extra
' session. A. F. B.

He Refused to Marry Them.—On
Tuesday afternoon a well-dressed col

visited the city hall in New York, and

ter replio l tirmly, “No, sir, it cannot
be done. While lam mayor of this
city I shall never marry a black man
to a white woman, nor a black woman
to a white man.” To a bystander who
suggested that perhaps he had not
read tlie fifteenth amendment and

| plied, "I know all about those laws,
j but you can rest assured that not
withstanding them no marriages be
tween whites and blacks can take
place in this hall while I am tho may
or of the city.” The colored man
looked surprised, and the girl's eyes
filled with tears. They afterwards
made application to Justice Kilbreth
to perform tho ceremony, but the jus
tice said he was “too busy.”
