THE MM Til I’M CONG RE**.
READY TO SUPPLY LEADERS IF THE NORTH
FAILS.
One pin will pretty certainly be
knocked from under the expectations
of the Republican party. The Dem
ocratic House will not be likely to
make a fool of itself. The hopes of
Republican success by Conservative
folly can be abandoned. There was
only ouo section that was honored
with this prediction of misbehavior—
the South. By every evidence, so
far, that section is likely in her Rep
resentatives to become the example,
instead of the warning, to the others.
The South elected Mr. Kerr and de
feated Mr. Randall, and that first and
greatest event went the wrong way,
for those whose reputation as proph
ets aud fortunes as politicians arc
staked on the unwisdom of the latte
(ton federate element in the present
Congress. The South, moreover,
was the quickest to see the wis
dom of Mr. Speaker Kerr’s
quiet advice, the first day. to
change front, under tire aud in
the face of the enemy, on the Louisi
ana ease. This, too, was the very
easeon which the Southern Democ
racy was expected to show the most
excitement, the one in which the ex
cuse for find the incentive to impoli
cy were the greatest,
“Safe” Pennsylvania, much of ad
vice-giving N4w York, disciplined
Ohio, aud part of lowa, Wisconsin
and Michigan, all well enough an
chored in moderation, wanted Ran
dall for Speaker. Virginia, Missouri,
Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina,
Arkansas. Florida, Louisiana, Ken
tucky and Maryland, dee lured to be
surcharged with Bourbonism and re
venge. and especially indebted to
Mr. Randall for services rendered,
supported Mr. Kerr, to a man, as the
one calculated to compose, reassure
and rally the North to the Democratic
party. It is about time for the mix
ture’ apprehension and patronage
which has been presented to the
South to be withdrawn. The North
can do well to look at home, and re
member that the South has at the
outset saved the House from a
Speaker that would have offended
the nation, find from a policy on the
most inilarn.nable case in the coun
try, that would have injured the
Democratic party in a very great de
gree at a very serious ti me.
At the present rate the South may
be forced to take the leadership
which she had no ambition to as
sume; but in the first act of the ses
sion, on the Louisiana matter,
Messrs. Wood and Cox made a blun
der which took them off their feet for
the time and which Mr. Lamar,
skillful as ho is, could not save them
from, though he tried hard. In any
events, necessary to bring them to
the front, the Southern representa
tives who \yili go there are not diffi
cult now to name. They are Krastus
Wells, of Missouri; John H. Regan,
of Texas; Mr. Whttthorne, of Ten
nessee; Judge Harris, of Virginia;
Charles.). Faulkner, of West Vir
ginia; R. L. Gibson, of Louisiana,
and “Ben” Hill, of Georgia. When
these men are heard from, it is
pretty certain that no nonsense will
be heard. There is no prohibited
question of which they have
not had a more vivid experi
ence than their Northern colleagues.
There is no result which needs accep
tance which they have not accepted
long ago. There is really no ground
in sense or facts for apprehending
other than progressive, enlightened,
alert and magnaimous Democracy
from the ,South. She has not trod
the wine press alone for nothing.
With an aptitude for affairs, with
tremendously disenchanting experi
ences. with an intelligence in the
principles and arts af polities that
was never brighter, and with an in
domitable heart, that disaster only
strengthened and could not break,
the South of to-day has all the mo
bility, unity, coherence and energy
of the South of the days that are no
more; she has also none of the dis
turbing questions, none of tbe sepa
rating ambitions, ami none of the
anomalous lets under which the poli
ties of former times was waged. The
South in this Congress will gladly
follow any leadership that is wise,
but if none of that sort is furnished
by others, her own Representatives
will supply it. —Brooklyn Eagle.
Alabama ami Her Creditors.
New York. Dee. 14. A meeting of
the Alabama bondholders is being
held this afternoon to protest against
the proposition of the State Commis
sioners of Alabama for tbe adjust
ment and liquidation of the State
debt. Hamilton Beydenberg pre
sided. A committee was appointed
to draw uo a remonstrance for pre
sentation to the Alabama Legislature
against the propositions of the Com
missioners.
If we are to have a "Methodist cam
paign,” statistics will be in order.
The Rev. B. I. Ives was nominated
by the Republicans in tbisStates as a
“tremendous Methodist,” in the hope
of getting a “tremendous Methodist”
vote. Mr. Ives ran 1,500 votes be
hind Gen. Merritt, 1,700 votes behind
Tinsley, 1,000 behind Cornell, 3,000
behind Danforth, 3,350 behind Se
ward. and 4,100 behind Spinner.

; WOTIitU POLITICAL TROUBLE IX SEW
ORLEANS.
New Orleans, Dec. I*s.—One John
j F. Barrett, who bears a peculiar rep
! utation in this city, has lately re
| turned here with credentials from
Attorney-General rierrepont, and it
is alleged with instructions to look
| into whiskey and eotton frauds. Su
perintendent of Police Levan has is
sued an order to the force to arrest
him on sight as a blackmailer and a
dangerous and suspicious character.
Pierrepont has telegraphed here de
manding protection for him at the
hands of the Federal authorities.
Until recently Barrett has sustained
intimate social relations with Gov.
Kellogg, Col. Newton and Mr. Bil
lings.
The threatened nomination of Bil
lings as District Judge is unfavora
bly received. The bar is unanimous
ly opposed to him, and not a promi
nent Republican hero favors his ap
pointment.
The American Union Club, com
posed of ex-Federnl soldiers here,
forwarded a strong recommendation
in favor of the appointment of Col.
j Charles Casea, former Congressman
of Indiana and now practicing attor
neyat Washington.

Philadelphia. Dec. 15. —The Board
of Publication, at its meeting to-day,
received a communication from the
secretary of an organization styled
the “Liberal League,” with resolu
tions adopted by the League, peti
tioning the Board to prohibit the use
of the Bible in public schools. The
reading of the communication and
resolutions created considerable stir,
and after remarks by several mem
bers the subject was tabled - the vote
being almost unanimous to dispose
of it in that way.

Constantinople, Dee. 15.—The Aus

Vizier, on Saturday, to suspend hos
tilities and open negotiations in the
Insurgent districts. Some of the
ministers are urging the Sultan to
reject the programme of reform ema

and in justification of such rejections
to refer them to the plan of reform
which tho Porte itself intends to pro

TRIAL OF OFFICERS AND SOLDIERS.
Galveston, Dec. 15. —Information
from Brownsville states thoj three
colored soldiers were.tried there, yes
terday, charged with the murder of
a Mexican atSaleci’s Rancho in Jan
uary last. The prosecution failed to
produce proof, and the jury returned
| a verdict of not guilty, without leav
j ing their box. Lieut. French of tho
army was tried on the charge of
burglary, with similar result. Gen.
Hatch is in Brownsville, but his trial
will not be had until next term. It is
stated public opinion has changed,
and the military are not blamed in
the matter.
Freni'li Election*.
Paris, Dec. 15.— 1n the Assembly
to-day, M. Fourchand, deputy for tbe
Gironde and a member of the left,
was the only person elected Senator.
All other candidates failed to obtain
the requisite majority. It is believed
several Legitimists and Bona
partists abstained from voting to-day,
fearing the success of extreme Re-
I publicans.
Forfjerle* In Cincinnati.
j Cincinnati, Dec. 15. Forgeries of
the names of firms and individuals
doing business at Union Stock Yards
are just discovered. Several banks
are victimized. The imitation of sig
natures is so close that a reference
to books was required to detect them.
How manyof these checks are out,
or to what extent banks and brokers
are swindled, is unknown.

Nashville, Dee. 15.— Gov. Porter

COLUMBUS, GA., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1875.
CONGRESSIONAL
SENATE.
Washington, December 15.—Mr.
Sargennt introduced a bill to provide
for the erection of a postoffice build
ing in tho city _ of Snn Francisco.
Messrs. Colliding, Dawes, Bout
well, Hamilton, Ivernon, Marrill of
Maine, petitions asking the appoint
ment of a commission on alcoholic
liquor traffic.
Mr. West submitted a resolution
directing the Committee .on Con
tingent Expenses to inquire and re
port as to tho compensation duo John
Rayand Win. L .McMillan,claimants
for the vacant seat from Louisiana.
All the above were appropriately
referred.
Mr. Morton submitted sundry reso
lutions relative to tho union of the
States, which he said he would ask
the Senate to take up at an early day.
Mr. Morton also submitted a resolu
tion setting forth the existence of
fraud, outrage and violence and bal
lot-box stuffing at tho lato election
for members of Congress in Mississip
pi, and also setting forth that tho
Legislature elected at tho same time
and by the same means will have the
election of a United States Senator;
therefore resolved, that a committee
of five Senators be appointed to in
quire into the circumstances attend
ing such election, with power to visit
tile State, send for persons
and papers, and to report tho result,
of their examination. On tho objec
tion of Mr. Bayard, the resolution
was laid over.
Mr. Stevenson submitted a Resolu
tion calling upon the Secretary of the
Treasury to transmit copies of all
letters, telegrams, orders and in
structions in his possession relating
to the alleged violations of the In
ternal Revenue laws at St. Louis,
Milwaukie and Chicago, as may in
his opinion be compatible with the
public interests.
Mr. Sherman objected to the reso
lution. He said to comply with it
would embarrass tho Secretary very
much. Ho said this whiskey Ring
was to be prosecuted to tho utmost,
so that no guilty man should escape,
and he happened to have learned
this very morning that it would hin
der tho prosecution very much if the
Secretary was called in for this in
formation.
Mr. Conkling held that if the reso
lution was proper at all, it should go
to the President and leave to him the
privilege of determining whether the
information could bo furished with
out detriment to the public, interest.
Mr. Morton believed this publica
tion would have tho effect of vindica
ting the administration of every
charge which had been made against
it in this connection. Ho believed
that it would completely vindicate
the President from all tho charges
made against them. For this reason
ho had no objection to the resolution.
After some little further discussion,
Mr. Stevenson withdrew his resolu
tion.
The Senate then went into execu
tive session, and then adjourned.

A HiKl.nuil swindle.
St. Louis, Dec. 13. A. stupendous
land swindle has just been unearthed
in Southwestern Missouri. It appears
that deeds to lands in Northern Ar
kansas and Southeastern Missouri
have been forged for some years past,
and that agencies for this work were
established in Cincinnati, Pittsburg,
Philadelphia, New York and Man
chester, England, the estimated deeds
to cover 1,2000,000 acres of land which
has been disposed of, the valua
tion being twenty-five to thirty
million dollars. The land opera
ted upon is owned by non-residents,
and as the records were mostly de
stroyed during the war the ring had
facility to carry out the enormous
swindle. Deeds have been sold all
over the United States and England.
The Grand Jury of Shannon coun
ty, Mo., have indicted Dr. Thomas
K. Harman, David L. Bingham and
James L. Lawton for complicity in
the fraud. Lawton seems to have
been the leader ol' the swindlers, and
operated extensively in England.
“The fellow who can’t read
a man’s character by looking
at bis butes is no feller at
all,” soliloquized BigJirn. “When
you see a man stubbin around with
dried mud on his toes you kin set it
down that he hasn’t any git up in
him. If he lets the mud come away
up to his heel, you bet he don’t earn
a dollar a dav, for he’s slow. If he’s
got dust on his butes he’s reckless,
and won’t never lay up anything;
but if his butes catch the rays of the
morning sun, and splinter ’em all to
pieces in a blaze of glory, then he’s
bound to have a big house on the
avenue, and ahull potato bin full of
bonds-shine ’emu-p!”
North Carolina Riof, Culture.—
The Wilmington Journal shows that
in ante-bellum times 200,000 bushels
or nine million pounds of rice was
produced in the neighborhood of that
city. The product now is less than
ten thousand bushels. Rice labor is
not procurable. The Journal asks if
hay crops could not be produced on
these lands instead of using import
ed hay from New England. If pro
tected from overflow, we should sup
pose it would be hard to prevent
them from producing in the two crop
pings at least threo tons to the acre.
These lands are _pure alluvium, of in
exhaustible fertility.
Bismark, in spite of his longparlia
j monttiry experience, is still by no
! means a fluent speaker. A Berlin,
■ correspondent of The Full Mall Ga
zette thus describes his manner:
“Embarrassment and groat, mental
sxoitement are visible in his whole
being. Either tho words oomo too fast
for utterance, or he is at a loss for a
phrase to express his meaning; he
also frequently corrects himself,
probably under the consciousness
that a wrong signification may be at
tached to his expressions. While
the left hand rests listlessly on tho
table and tho body is endeavoring to
Issumc a certain rigid firmness, the
right hand is fidgeting with a pencil
or gesticulating to givo particular
stress to his words.
