California bus received the largest
share of tho homo emigration of the

of the East and the Mississippi Val
ley. The movement still continues.

Robeson's Naval Bluster. - What
ever may be the exact facts as to tho
diplomatic negotiations which have
been going on between our Govern
ment and Spain, tho fact that tho oc
casion has been seized upon by Grant
and Secor Robeson to throw away
money on the navy, is positive.
The cotton lords of New England
begin to bo alarmed at the increase
of factories In the South. Their or
gans begin to declare that tho ordor
of tho day is fewer and larger mills—
that the principle of concentration
will declare itself as time goes on,
with the Irresistible force inherent in
a natural law, and all that kind of
stuff.
The Atlanta Constitution desires
to agitate tho question of employing
stenographers in the courts. Our
neighbor credited us with the first
suggestion that has been made on tho
subject. Wo said then, and arc sure
now, that they will save each county
hundreds of dollars, besides creating
new avenues of business for compe
tent and educated men.
The Chicago Times publishes a
statement to the effect that Colonel
John 8. Mosby, of Virginia, tho origi-’
nal third term man, Is at tho head of
an organization in tho South formed
for tho secret purpose of advocating
tho President’s re-election, and tiiat
there is also a sccrot society, known
as the Anti-Catholic Organization,
pledged to tho President, which is
sending out circulars ’to tho leading
men throughout tho country.
Commendable Economy.—The North
Carolina Constitutional Convention,
lately in session, was an economic
and business like body. The entire
expenses, Including the pay and mile
age of its one hundred and nineteen
members, were only $23,836, and tho
business of the convention was trans
acted in thirty-six working days.
This was business and economy com
bined in a degree which presents a
good example for imitation by other
legislative bodies.
There is a great deal being written
about the South desiring office, or
rather representat ion on the Nation
al ticket. Wo are in favor of Hout.ii
erti men getting all the offices they
can, but we agree with a number of
our eotempornrles, that for the pres
ent, we must be content with being
high privates in the rear rank. Tho
time will oome when Southern states
manship will be appreciated, and
then will be the time to reward our
great men with National offices.
Mercantile Morality.— “ Charles
Francis Adams has recently been
quoted as saying that tho thing nec
essary for a revival of business in
this country was a revival of religion.
What Mr. Adams meat, the Boston
Advertiser has just discovered, and it
tells us that the idea probably in
tended to bo conveyed deserves more
than a passing consideration, because
ttie existing depression in trade is
undoubtedly due, among other
causes, to a low state of mercantile
morality, and a consequent want of
confidence.”—New York Express.
The New York Tribune rejoices to
learn from o many authoritative
that the Democratic party
as an organization, is perfectly sound
on tho currency question. It insin
uates a doubt, however, as to tiro ab
solute sincerity of tho candidates for
the Speakership, and calls upon
Messrs ltundall and Kerr for a dis
tinct and explicit statement of what
they do believe in and to what extent.
For ourselves we are indifferent as
to the views of these gentlemen. We
earnestly trust, however, that tho
Democracy will realize that tho cur
rency question is the one in which
the lK'Opie feel most interest, and
that it will appreciate the impor
tance of making up a record for tho
approaching Congress upon which
to go into the next Presidential elec
tion. Let the Democracy tako tho
stand that resumption in 1879 moans
widespread bankruptcy, and all will
be well.
In Pekin, a newspaper of extraor
dinary size is published weekly on
silk. It is stated to have been start
ed more than a thousand years ago.
In 1826 a public officer caused some
false intelligence to be inserted in
this paper, for which he was put to
death. Several numbers of tho pa
per are i<reeerved in the Royal Li
brary of Paris. They are ton ami a
quarter yards long, hut silken news
papers are not confined to the “Flow
ery Land.” The editor of the Journ
al de Brest (in France), during a
short stay of the Prince de .Toinville
in that town, after a cruise, in the
reign el Louis Phillippe, presented
the Prince with a copy of his paper,
on white satin. Likewise, in April,
1839. a copy of the Cheltenham, Eng
land, Chronicle, printed on the same
material, containing an account of
the proceedings in that town, on tho
ocean ion of presenting her Majesty
with a gold medal, was transmitted
to the Queen.

Paul Morphy, the famous chess
player, is in a New Orleans asylum,
hopelessly insane. He was born in
that city’in 18A0, of wealthy Creole
parentage, and his adoption of the
game of chess as a business not only
offended his relatives, but occupied
the years in which he might have
achieved success in some other ca
reer. He returned to his home just
before the rebellion, suddenly and
thoroughly disgusted with chess—so
prejudiced against it that he has
since never played. He has subse
quently led an idle, morose life.
Moody unit Mankry
Have taken leave of Brooklyn, and
havo made their appearance in Phil
adelphia. The New York press ap
pear to be divided in their estimate
of tho work done. Notwithstanding
Immense interest was evinced—their
audiences probably exceeding 20,000
per day—the great revivalists appear
to not have approached, much less
come up to, tho expectations of those
who were their most intelligent well
wishers ; and it is not surprising that
there should be disappointment, in
view of the great opportunities they
have had.
The Now York Tribune regards the
work that has been accomplished as
preparatory work; and It truly re
marks. tiiut with the departure of
Messrs. Moody and Sankcy a great re
sponsibility falls upon the shoulders
of the Brooklyn pastors: "Upon their
efforts and those of their leading
church members, depends tho issue
whether tho men and women who
have been aroused into thinking of
their spiritual needs, shall have their
newly awakened feelings warmed Into
religious life or be suffered to sink
back into their old state.”

HIS ELOQUENT ORATION AT JEFFERSON
CITY, MO., JUST BEFORE SENTENCE WAS
PASSED BY THE COURT.
From tho 8t Louis Times.)
Before this honorable court passes
sentence, I beg leave to state tiiat my
conviction was scared by the per
jured testimony of self-convieted
thieves. Feinemun, the rectifier;
Borngeisser, the gauger, arid Bendle
inan, tho storekeeper, all lineal de
scendants of those ancient scoundrels
who crucified Christ they come
upon the witness-stand and paraded
their own infamy, by acknowledging
that thov had stolen whiskey from
tlio government through a term of
years at tho rate of $1 to 50 cents per
barrel. The pencil of Gustavo Bore
could not do justice to these three
wandering lsreulil.es who seemed
over on the lookout to steal small
things when large ones were not con
veniently at hand. Feinomau and
Fagin are identical characters, and
should be immortalized in living in
famy. I dismiss the peddlers of
fraud and perjury, consigning them
to the devouring fires of a rotton con
science.
1 was indicted for failure to report
in writing certain alleged knowledge
and information of certain fraudulent
transactions of petrified perjurors.
Tho jury found mo guilty on the
counts, hut as a matter of fact the
conclusion was as false as tho evi
dence. I agree tliut it had tho ap
pearance to tho jury of a failure of
duty. We know, however, that things
are not always what they seein. 1
simply declare upon my honor as a
man and my allegianco as an Ameri
can citizen, here in the presence of
this honorable court, to tiie world
and facing my God, that lam abso
lutely innocent of the charges trump
ed upuguinst mo by pretended friends
and viper enemies.
It lias nor, been shown in evidence,
or even intimated by anybody, tiiat I
ever received a single cent in any
fraud of the revenue. Then where
is the motive that induced me to with
hold the information? I did make a
report in writing to Supervisor Alc-
Donald and Commissioner Douglass.
The report, it is alleged, was not in
full; neitheir was the information in
my possession full or complete, ns the
facts were out of my district, and the
thievery I reported was in Missouri.
The District Attorney of the United
States, in his concluding speech, in
troduced my copy-book, showing the
transmitted letter to Supervisor Mc-
Donald as something fraudulent.
My lawyers or myself hnd no oppor
tunity to explain the letter in evi
dence, which could have been done
to tiie utmost satisfaction to every
body concerned.
Your honor has, from the begining
of tho case to the end, extended mo
tho kindest consideration and ruling.
For tills I thank yon in the name of
tho people, and in the natno of jus
tice. I stand hero to-day strong and
bold, conscious of innocence. My
heart is actuated bv the noble im
pulse that, nerved Wiukelrcid when
he opened a breach for the liberty of
his country, or by the lofty courage
that inspired Sir Walter Raleigh at
the block. Like Raleigh, I may
have puffed smoke through tho win
dow at the execution of some official
Fissex, but I never yet trampled upon
tlie royal robes of the virgin queen.
For myself, I havo no fear of any
punishment on earth; yet on behalf
of mv past good character, this being
the ilrst suspicion of guilt that ever
darkened my life, and in considera
tion of tho support I owe my wife
ami children, I ask that magnanimi
ty at this bar of justice that would
bo reasonably claimed by yourself
under like eircumst inces.
A few short years will sepulchre the
living of to-day with tho dead of yes
terday, and the celestial sunlight of
to-morrow will bring us all to the bar
of Omnipotence, when the judge, jury,
lawyer, and client will meet upon tiie
level of eternity, and part upon the
square of final judgment. Then all
hearts shall be laid bare, and trut h
will rme in splendid triumph. The
blood of innooence flows free and un
ruffled through the life-channels of
this frame, and tlie artificial lustres
that, surround tho victims of crime
find no lodgment in mv heart, When
I look back to the field of battle
where I fought and bled for my coun
try in tiie hour of terrible trial, I
wonder whether patriotism was but a
name, and the gratitude of nations a
mockery and sluimc to lure the brave
to destruction.
My simple Bin is that of omission,
and for it I suffer the deepest humili
ation, while the glorious services and
recollections of the past are buried in
tho grave of forgetfulness. Is this
just? Tiie epidumio era of reform
has risen like tiie mist of a mighty
flood, sped onward to the gulf of pun
ishment. The good and the bad suf
fer alike. The stream is full of drift
wood and dead timber, while many
young oaks, and tall sycamores on
the hunks are loosened from their
firm foundation and dashed into the
river of destruction. But tiie rain
falls lightly on the mountain; tiie
sun shines warmly on the plain, and
the llood even uow is settling into its
former bed, wherotho crystal waters
shall again refleot the green foliage,
tho oak and sycamore, and the gen
tle breezes, arid birds of spring shall
make merry musie of ttie cathedral
aisles of a generous nation.
The prison walls that hemmed in
Galileo, Columbus, Tasso and Napo
leon did not measure the miuds of
the men. It is true their bodies suf
fered some torture, but the proud
spirit that rose in their hearts leaped
the bounds of clay aud soared away
into the illimitable regions of science,
poetry, and war, making them mon
archs of the hour, and masters of
eternity. Humble as I am in the
walks of life, my soul is inspired bv
their illustrious example, and it shall
bo my future endeavor to show the
world that, although I may suffer for
a time the penalty of perjured testi
mony, yet, like a mountain crag, I
shall breast the pelting storm, and
lift my head clear and bold to the
coming sunshine of truth aud re
[ demptfon. I have done.
Tlic Fort 5-I'on rili on[trri.x
The Borne Courier in an editorial
! on the above subject concludes as fol
lows : This body will assemble on
the sth proximo. Of the 292 members
of tho new House, but 108 belonged
to the preceding Congress, thus leav
ing 184 who have never served in the
National Legislature. Of the 108
wholiuve been re-elected, the Repub
licans have 08 and the Democrats 40,
but among the latter are several
whose term of service exceeds that of
any member on tho Republican side.
There are forty-three standing com
mittees of the House and three joint
committees of the two Houses, so
that in the control of the House the
Democrats may have an experienced
member on every important commit
tee, for there arc but thirty of the
committees that are really connected
with the general business of Con
gress.
In the new House we find the
names of many men of considerable
notoriety, and but few of distinction
on either side. The absence of posi
tive leading men men of statesman
like reputation-is pain fully apparent.
Such men as Beck, Potter, Marshall
and Niblack on the Democratic side
in the last. House, and Judge Hoar,
Hale, Hawley, Kellogg, Willard
and Maynard, of the Republi
can side will all be missed.
But upon tho Democratic side there
will be men of splendid intellect
who will make up the deficiency in
their class caused by tho paucity of
their number. Georgia sends two
members of transcendant ability, and
others of lino capacity. Messrs.
Stephens and Hill will certainly be
tho leaders of the delegation. Their
distinction and prominence will
make them so.
The Speakership of the House is
the question of tho greatest moment.
Kerr, of Indiana, Randall, of Penn
sylvania, Wood and Cox, of New
York are most prominent candi
dates. Of these we prefer Mr. Kerr;
but who will be the lucky man,
whether either one of these, or an
other yet not mentioned, remains to
be tested by the amount of Republi
can support that will go to any one
man.
Church Pews.—There is a speck of
history connected with the origin of
church pews that cannot help but
prove interesting. In the early days
of the Anglo-Saxon and some of the
Norman churches a stone bench
afforded the only sitting accommo
dations for members or visitors. In
tho year 1319 they arc spoken of as
sitting on t be ground or in a standing
posture. At a later period the people
introduced low, three-legged stools,
and they were placed in no uniform
order in the church. Directly after
the Norman conquest wooden seats
came in fashion. In 1387 a decree was
issued that none should call any seat
in the church his own except noble
men and natrons, each entering and
holding the one ho first found. From
1530 to 1540 seats were more appro
priated, and a Crowbar guarded the
entrance, bearing the initial of the
owner. It. was in 1008 that galleries
were thought of; and as early as 1614
pews were arranged to afford comfort
by being huized or cushioned, while
the sides around were so high as to
hide the occupants—a device of the
Puritans to avoid being seen by the
officer, who reported those who did
not stand when the name ot Jesus
was mentioned.
