Ir ia announced from Washington
that the Tresident baa decided to
give Republicans the preference over

Better late than never, will be the
response f those who voted and
labored to place a Republican Ad
ministration in power.
It was for rebellion that Lucifer
was cast into hell. The latter-day
Democracy having determined that
rhp1lion ia not a crime, it follows of
course that the nert effort is to prove
there is no hell. ' No wonder that
people are becoming unsettled in
their belief.
The Legislative joint committee

It consists of Senators Ryburn of

Eli Perkins bavin spoken of
Jeff Davis as a traitor, the Atlanta
Coiiistilution says: "The South is
full of just Buch traitors as Jeff Davis.
Treason such as his grows on every
bush and tree, and the little children
are taught to call it patriotism."
This is an important admission. Had
a Northern paper said as much, the
solid South would have been up ia
arms. It is well to know just bow
the South stands.
TnE Washington Jiepublican, as
pumioglLat the next Presidential
election will be a fiercely contested bat

Republican party to organize at once
Tor that campaign. On this point the
Jlt'yuhhi a saya ;
Let the President do what be may,
the Republican path of duty is plain.
It is its mission to save the nation
from being overrun and desolated by
the Democratic bordea in and ont of
official position, who seek to eubju
tr ale and possess the government
To accomplish this end the Repub
lican party must be thoroughly or
ganized in every State from Maine
to the Ivio Grande and from the At
lantic to the Pacific, and the cam
paign cannot be commenced too

The Democrats is Congress have
scarcely got their smelling commit
tees organized, than up turns a piece
ol democratic scoundrelism Tor in
vesligation.
Mr. Baker in the House few days
eince openly charge Doorkeeper Polk
with corruption and malfeasance in
office. The first charge was that of
carrying on bis roll and paying sixty
three more persons than authorized
by law. Second that he required
employes to pay to other employes
part of their salaries; and third that
he is interested in claims pending
before Congress, each of those charges
being sustained by affidavits. Strike
at corruption and you hit a Demo
crat, always. This fellows Polk is
evidently a bigger fraud than Fitz
simmoDS, who boasted that be was
"a biger man than old Grant"
Yc foreign holders of United
States bonds have become alarmed
at the various propositions made in
Congress looking to the payment of
the principal and interest of the bonds
in stiver, and they are beinghnrried
back to thfe country and put upon the
market for sale. The . V. Tribune
ot the 5th saya : .
"During the last three weeks
$3,000,000 United States bonds hare
been 6old in this city on English ac
count $3,000,000 more are on their
way, and orders were received yes
terday to dispose of $5,000,000 addi
tional Government bonds. They are
principally 18C.a, 1885s, 4J and 5s.
Yesterday $1,000,000 Government
bonds were sold at a fractional decline
on account of German holder at
Frankfort ' Most of these were 8lg.
The cause of this "strong desire of
foreign holders to get rid of United
States bonds is the natural result of
the proposed silver legislation by
congress.
It is very evident that the Demo

titled to seat. This outrage of a
seating the Republican member from
Colorado, has been followed by a re
port against Tacheco, the Republican
member, whom the Courts of Califor
nia, after a thorough investigation,
declared to be elected, and next will
rome the ousting of Darr (Repub )
from the third district of Louisiana.

As was generally anticipated, a jury
packed for that purpose, have found
a verdict of guilty, against General
Anderson of the Louisiana Return
ing Board. The trial was a farce,
the object being not only to punish a
Republican who could not be bull
dozed into certifying the State bad
voted for Tilden, but to lay the ground
work for the impeachment of the
title of President Uayes. There is
trouble ahead.
Tie implacables whom the Presi

ance, and the country from fierce and
perilous agitation.
The proposition to re-enact the
odious income tax has received an al
most solid Democratic vote in the
House at Washington. The dema
gogues assert that this tax is essen
tially in favor of the poor man, be
cause it will be collected off the rich
only. But the necessity for it is cre
ated by the accompanying proposi
tion, to strike off the duties on im
ports, whereby the country will be
flfmded with foreign products, to the
mortal hurt of our home manufac
tures, and the consequent permanent
depreciation of the wares of labor. It
is onlr when our borne industries are
prosperous that times are good and
wages are remunerative. Cripple the
manufacturer and producer and you
dentrov the sources of income, lower
the standard of wa:res, and grind the
workingman between the upper and
nether millstone.
Ivtekse excitement prevails in
London and throughout England
over ihe announcement that the Rus
sians have occupied Constantinople,
and that British interests are there
by endangered. Anti-Russian mobs
have paraded the streets of London
and the house of Mr. Gladstone, and
the office of the Daily Ntfi have
been 6toned. The popular feeling
annears to be intense) v hostile toi
Russia. The Ministry have called
npen the Czar for an explanation,
and a fleet has been dispatched to the
neighborhood of Constantinople. It
looks as if there m;gbt be a general
European war, and the markets in
New York have been greatly unset
tled by the newt. Rates of insurance
on English, Austrian and German
vessels have been largely advanced,
and risks on Russian vessels are
absolutely refused.
An immense tariff demonstration
came off in Pittsburgh oo Saturday
laBt, which was participated in by
citizens from Ohio, Maryland, West
Virginia and Western Pennsylvania.
Over fifteen thousand men marched
in the procession, notwithstanding
the muddy condition of the streets,
while myriads of spectators lined the
sidewalks and windows. A mass
meeting was held in Exposition
Hall ia which stand were erecteds for
speakers from the different States
represented. Addresses were made
by a number of distinguished gentle
men, all protesting earnestly against
the propositions now before Congress
looking to a reduction of the duties
imposed on foreign importation?. The
demonstration wa9 participated in by
men of all shades of political opin
ions, capital and - labor marched
shoulder to shoulder, and but one
sentiment protection to American
industry animated the immense con
course. If public sentiment counts
for anything with our representa
tives in Congress, this immense dis
play of hostility to further tarifl
tinkering at present, should give
them pause. Pennsylvania' is so
overwhelmingly la favor of protect
ing home industry, that of late years
discussion among her citizens has
been deemed useless, hence the free
traders have apparently presumed
that all interest in this vital topic bad
died out among our people. This
notable demonstration and protest,
will prove how baseless was the
supposition.
As was expected, the trial cf tLe
Louisiana Returning Board turned
tip to the light a Democratic effort at
bribery. William II. Green, a lead
ing colored w&rd politician of New
Orleans, and clerk of tiue Returning
Board, testified that when Lt was
called to Washington as a witness, he
was frequently interviewed by the
Secretary of the Democratic Commit
tee, who tried to induce bim to tell
what be knew, and to make copies
from the abstract minute book of the
Returning Board, and that he was
promised, if he did so, the assessor
ship of the Third District ; and fur
ther, that be received from the Secre
tary of the Democratic Committee a
letter, which had twenty-six dollars
enclosed. On cross-examination be
admitted, with a great deal of reluc
tance, that it waa Mr. Edward Har
ris, Secretary of that pure Democratic
statesman, Gov. Palmer, of Illinois,
that offered bim the assessorship.
Another piece ot Democratic ras
cality was developed, as follows :
Mr. Powers, passenger agent Cor
Cassidy'a Hotel, testified that a pack
age deposited in bis office by the Su
pervisor of Mooreboose parish, con
taining the returns of that parish, ad
dressed to the Secretary of State, was
witn Lis consent, taken to the
Democratic Central Committee rooms.

Wellington Dispatch to The Philadelphia Press.
The subject of appointing Demo
crats to prominent positions under
the Government fcos been considered
in the Cabinet on a number of occa
sions, and, as known, has always
been the subject of wide difference
between the President and at least
four of his advisers, as well as a
largs majority of the Republicans of
both Houses of Congress and the
leaders of the psrty in the North and
West. At last a Baal decision has
been reached on this subject, and the
President has formally intimated
to his Cabinet that in future be will
not appoint Democrats to positions
of the character indicated. He has
always expressed his determination
to operate within the ranks of the
party that elected him, and having
discovered that the results expected
from the appointment of Democrats
throughout the South are not being
realized, be has determined to select
competent Republicans for office
wherever vacancies occur.

Harrisblbg, Feb. 9, 1873.
Holding two sessions a day made
things quite lively on the "Hill" dor
in? the week just passed. Business
was pushed along rapidly and more
real progress made than during any
previous two weeks or tne session.
Several bills of great importance to
the people were considered and though
not passed finally the action upon
them was such as to show clearly
what their ultimate fate will be. One
of great interest to mechanics and la
boring men as well as owners of real
estate is the bill extending the bene
fits of the present lien law, to journey
men and laborers. The law now in
force, allowa only contractors and
others wbo furnish material to file a
lien upon buildings, and provides no
redress for laborers to whom wages
may be due and unpaid. The bill
now before the Uonse was drawn up
by the mechanics of Philadelphia, and
proposes to correct this oojust dis
crimination. An amendment was
offered by Mr. Neal of Philadelphia,
making the law apply to public as
well as private buildings. He stated
as a reason why the amendment
should be adopted that work on pub
lie buildings in Philadelphia is given
out by contract and the contractors
invariably cheat the workingmen out
ot their wages. This is rather a strong
statement, and there is no doubt tbat
it needs modifying. There are, how
ever, swindling and bogus contractors
from whom laboring men should be
protected. The bill was recommitted
to the committee on labjr and indus
try to further perfect it and will un-
donbtedlv pass.
The bill known as the "Philadel
phia Recorder's Bill" was discussed
for nearly two days in the House
and gave rise to some warm and
not over-elegant charges and person
alines between its advocates and
opponents. ' The debate was confin
ed pretty much to the Philadelphia
delegation, and the speakers were in
terrupted by screeches and groans
and other demonstrations peculiar to
this element of the legislature. The
bill empowers the Governor to ap
point a Recorder for the city of
Philadelphia, who shall bold office
for ten years and appoint five mer
cantile appraisers who shall hold of
fice for two rears.
An effort was made on Friday last
to correct a great abuse tbat has ex
isted in tne House tor several years
past. It has been the habit of a
few, and for the honor of our Staie
we' are glad to say a very few, mem
bers of the House to vote in the
names of members who were absent
from the House when their names
were called by the clerk. Some-
tiaies the cheat is discovered and
sometimes (t is not. If, when the
call of the nays and yeas is finished,
some member calls attention to tho
fact tbat a member recorded as vo
ting is not in the House some bra
zen rooster will arise aud say "O, he
was here when his name was called,
but he has just gone out." There is
generally no satisfactory way of
proving that this Is not true, and the
matter drops. Sometimes the vole
is stricken off, but nobody has ever
been punished for attempting this
species of ballot-box stuffing.
Mr. Jackson of Mercer, one of, if
not the leading Republican mem
bers of the House and the Auditor
General elect Mr. Schell, one of ' the
Democratic leaders made an attempt
to combine the honest element on
both sides and make a tule that "no
rote shall be recorded unless the
member voting 6hall rise in his prop
er place and remain standing until
bis vote is recorded." As this chang
ed g rule of the House it required a
two-tbirds vote to adopt it. This it
failed to get and was therefore lost
One of the remarkable things con
nected with the vote upon this ques
tion is the fact that two votes were
cast against it in the names of mem
bers wbo were not present. These
fellows don't scare worth a cent.
A bill was introduced In the House
on Friday providing tbat all corpora
tions asking for legislation from this
Slate must accept and comply with
all the conditions of the new consti
tution before their requests can be
considered. This is intended prin
cipally to compel railroad companies
whose charters were granted before
the new constitution was adopted to
do away with the free pass system.
The evening of Feb. 12th has been
set apart for the consideration of the
local option bill in the House. This
order was merely adopted out of
courtesy to the friends of the meas
ure and is no indication of the
strength of the bill. In fact it ha9
no strength with the present legis
lature, but its supporters are a plucky
set of fellows and seem determined
to offer battle upon all occasions oo
matter what the odds may be against
them.
After a long and spirited contest
the resolution to appoint a special
committee to investigate alleged
frauds in the Agnew-Haslet con
tested election case has been adopt
ed and the committee appointed.
Thev will probably go to Forest
cjuniy net week and begin the in

DEATH OF THE POPE.
HIS LAST WORDS.

THE LAST SCENE.
Rome, February 7. The pope died
at 3 o'clock p. m.
r The condition of the pope changed
seriously-for the worse during the
night, and bis holiness has already
received the last sacraments.
The cardinal vicar bas been sum.
moned to the Vatican. An order has
been given to prevent any person not
specially authorized from having
access to the pope's apartments.
Egress from the Vatican is also
prohibited. The foreign cardinals
have been summoned by telegraph to
Rome.
Prayers for the pope's recovery
are being offered in all the Churches
in Rome.
Rome, February 71:10 p. m.
The pope bas passed into death
agony. His death is momentarily
expected.
Rome, February 7. The pope's
legs were so much better yesterday
that he was able to walk a few steps.
It is believed tbat this exertion was
fatal. The change for the worse oc
curred at four o'clock in the morning,
when the death agony commenced.
The cardinals were assembled in
council in the next room, but all, to
gether with the dignitaries of the pa
pal court, were at his bedside at the
moment of bis djath. Cardinal
Panecianco administered the last sa
crament. The ambassadors accredit
ed to the Vatican called to make in
quiries during the morning. King
Humbert also constantly sent for in
formation, ao one was admitted to
the Vatican except the pontiScial
chamberlains, who are charged with
the office of guarding the corpse.
Monsignor Simeoni, the cardinal
secretary of state, has ordered the
Anzereatore Romano, the daily organ
of the Vatican, to suspend publication
until to-morrow. The city is perfect
ly tranquil. The authorities have
taken all the measures tbey deem
necessary. The police and municipal
guards preserve the approach to the
Vatican.
London, February 8 There can
be no doubt of the pope's death. The
morning journals fully confirm the
previous reports from Rome.
The Airerlitsr'e special dicpitc'u
from Rome states that the news of
the pone's death has already been
officially announced and gives the
following particulars:
1 ba pope at eight o clock on ed-
nesday night felt a sudden suffocation.
He rallied several times, but said to
bis physicians : "Death win this
tune." He was alternately lucid and
wandering. His last moments were
lucid- He said ; "(juard the phurch
I loved so well and sacredly." The
immediate cause of death was the
closing of the wound in the leg which
made the humors mount into the lungs
and brain.
Cardinals Manning and Howard
aud many others were present at the
death. i
Other accounts say the cause of
death was the mounting of water to
the heart The pope swooned and was
in extremis at three o clock but death
did not occur until somewhat after
the time announced ia the first dis
patch from Rome yestsrday.
The standard's telegram from
Rome says : "The aspect of the city
ia qi;iet to indifference, strongly con
trasting with its appearance otj the
death of King Victor Emmanuel a
month ago."

' New Orleans, Febuary 7.
We tnd Thomas C. Anderson guilty,

The defense asked for lbs polling

Augusta, Ga., February S. At
about 7 o'clock last night this city
was visited with a shower of hail,
which was followed by a rain storm,
accompanied by thunder and light
ning. There was a rambling and
tremor similar to that which accom
panies a light shock of earthquake.
This storm passed . away, but was
followed by a cyclone which left de
struction in its path. A little after!
one o'clock this morning the cyclone!
struck the city on the southwest near
Centre street, and demolished many
houses. The lower market bouse, a
large Biro c to re in the middle of Bread
street, was literally lifted and smash
ed into atoms. . Several ..brick nd
wooden buildings were . wholly or
partially destroyed. The cyclone
travelled from southwest to northeast,
and covered a space of aboot three
hundred yards wide. Some casualties
are reported. The Columbia Railroad
depot is a total wreck. Some damage
was done to the Central Railroad
depot, and many private residences
were injured. Charles Dives and
wife, colored, were found dead under
the ruins of their house.
RAVAGES OP THE STORM.
Later The cyclone struck this city
first about a mile from the Court
barely escaped before the disaster
came. Lontinuine in a northeasterlv
direction, the hurricane tore down
fences, demolished a wagon yard, up
rooted trees and unroofed bouses. A
colored church on the outskirts of the
city was completely destroyed. A
cotton cdmpress was partially blown
down.und the Central Railroad freight
depot completely unroafed. A negro
tenement bouse was next blown down
and an old man and his wife killed,
but their children escaped. Nearly
the entire eastern end cf the Charlotte,
Columbia and Augasta Railroad de
pot was destroyed. Two hundred
feet of it were blown in and the freight
buried beneath the ruins. A brick
building was blown over npon adwell
ing, crushing it in. The ocoupants,
however, miraculously escaped, save
an old lady, who was considerably
bruised, and whose injuries may
prove fatal. The steamer P.osa,
moored at Savannah river wharf, was
torn completely awav and drifted
some distance down the river. Two
freight cars on the Carolina road were
blown down an embankment, and in
some cases heavily laden trains were
moved along the track. The total
damage by the cyclone will amount
to little over $50,000. The la ves
tige of the hurricane ' disappeared in
South Carolina. Reports are rife of
damage in the neighboring country
soutn oi Augusta, l ne weatner was
cloudy and windy all day.

Washington, February 8. The
Republican leaders in tho Senate and
House regard tbe conviction of Gen.
Anderson in the Criminal Court at
New Orleans, on ihe charge of mak
ing a luise return ol tbe vote tor
Presidential electors in tbe late con
test, as tbe inauguration of a contro
versy which is likely to involve issues
as serious as those only averted bv
the Electoral Commission bill Pri
vate dispatches received here to-night
indicate a purpose on the part of the
authorities at New Orleans to press
tbtir judicial proceedings to the pre
mises to the utmost point It is inti
mated by those in direct communica
tion with New Orleans tbat these
prosecutions will be followed by an
investigation of tbe part taken by the
visting statesmen, and as a natural
resul'. of the conviction of tbe mem
bers of tbe letqroing Hoard, then
will follow judicial proceedings
against Messrs. Sherman, Garfield,
Kelley, Foster, and others, for whom
requisitions will be issued. Tbe suc
cess of these proceedings in New
Orleans, it is stated, will stimulate
similar action in Florida and South
Carolina. Tbe opinion was express
ed to-day by the Bourbon element in
the House, tbat this would present
sufficient grounds for a writ of quo
warranto under the provisions of tbe
Electoral bill, returnable to tbe Su
preme Court, to have Rutherford B.
Hayes show by what right he exer
cises the functions of President of the
United Stales The conservative
element of the Democratic party are
emphatically opposed to this agita
tion, and announcqd to-day that
tbe course of the authorities in Louis
iana is inopportune, ill advised and
injudicious. The effect amongst Re
publicans generally, aid especially in
Administration circles, has been to
stimulate all parties to a spirit of com
promise. There is now no doubt
that every branch of the Republican
party will be satisfied that suocess
can only be achieved within the party
lines, and that every effort should be
turned in that direction. Tbe Presi
dent, it is stated by his more intimate
friends, Is much annoyed at the
course of events in Louisiana.

Ft. Benton, M. T., February T, ISTS.
4-Cbarley Buckman arrived from
Fort Bloggitt last evening, with the
following important information: On
the 13th ult. the Crow? and Gros
Ventres camped at Ft. Blogsitt dis
covered the moccasin tracks of about
one hundred Sioux in tb9 vicinity of
the camp, and pieces of tobacco tied
to stieks were found, which signi
fied. that the Sioux, desirtd U smoke
and bold a council. The Crows and
Gros Ventres, however, considered
the tobacco a decoy, and were afraid
to-venture eut The following day
Major Reed, wbo was at the fort,
started for his ranche in the compa
ny of one of the Crows. Whei a
few miles ont tbey discovered a large
party of Sioux, mounted, and were
compelled to turn back. That night
all the Indians camped near the fort
and tied their horses to the lodges,
but in spite of this precaution fifty
bead of animalswere stolen, evidently
by the mounted party seen the day
previous. Ihe party on fqot is
country, taking tbe lodges of his own
people with him, and advising the
rest to follow.
A Gros Ventre Indian came in
from Marion's to-day, aud reported
as follows :
A member cf the Blackfeet tribe
recently came to his camp on Mari
on's to learn how he and bin people
felt about joining the Siuux. It ap
pears that the Sioux have held a
council with the Sircess at Cypress
mountains, when tbe Sioux stated
that tbey wanted us to form sn alli
ance with all the northern tribe a to
kill off tbe whites before the latter
become too numerous, im bir-
ce.ss communicated
witb the Bhei,:
eut tblS l.wlian
feet, aud the latter ae
to negotiate with the Gros Ventre
and Pigeons. Before the Gros Ventre
Indian from which this information
is obtained, left the Marion, a run
ner from the main camp on the Milk
river had come in with news to tbe
effect that a delegation of nine Sioux
bad come to tbe camp to set the
Gros Ventres and Assinaboiues to
join them agaiust the whites. The
Gros Ventres profess to have threat
ened tbe party, whereupon ihe latter
went outside the camp, dug a hole
and dared them to cnuie on. They
say they they woold have attacked
them, but were afrai-1 of the As.-ina-boiaes.

(Quebec, February C. The policy
cf the Provincial government on cer
tain quesiioDK, particularly thai of
railways, being unpopular to a por
tion of tho community, boiiip 6,000
people of St. Ilouhx, a suburb of this
city, assembled at Jacques Cartier
Market this evening, marched to the
Parliament building, headed by a
band of miKiic, and several hundred
torches. They also carried illumin
ated inscriptions renVctioir on the
gorerument. Tbeir arrival caused a
slight scene in the IIou.se. Tbe
members of the govcrnxent police
guarded tbe doors to prevent tbe
Crowd from entering the building.
An effigy representing Angers, Sol
icitor Ueneral, was burned in front of
tbe building. At ! the crowd left to
parade the city. A few minutes lat

Sam Francisco, Feb. C. Ilecent
heavy rains have raised the water in
the Sacramento river to about twenty-five
feet above low water mark.
Yesterday morning a levee broke
about a mile and a half below Sacra
mento City, and the water at once
began to spread over tbe low coun
try, extending to the base of the II
st. levee, which protects the city on
the south. A large fjree of men
were at once employed to Gil up the
openings in the R st. levee, where
streets pass through, and tbe city is
now considered secure. The only
danger is from backwater. Some
water bas mads its way through tbe
culvert near Sixth street, but will do
oo damage worth mentioning. Be
