The Reichstag yesterday adopted the re port of the committee, that the Reichstag m- et vtarly, anil rejected a Conservative i;. t ii for t iennial budgets, but sanctioned quadrennial Parliaments. The Ban Francisco morning papers of yesterday congratulate the people of the I’jc he ecast on the ratification of the bh m it- treaties, and say it marks the dawn of a better era for its industrial and social development. News has been received at Santa Fe, New Mexico, that “Billy the Kid,” after his re cent escape from custody, murdered Wm. Matthews and another man with whom the 4 tfer w; s riding. Matthews had been a witness agaiust the “Kid.” Three men entered the store of John Mc- Kean, O .tj Eghth avenue, New York, and eai h grabbed a roll of cloth worth $33 and ran off.

NOTES OF FLORIDA TRAVEL. A Rush of Homeward Travel—Way cross Short Line —Elegance and Comfort—A Delightful Picnic— South Florida Railroad—Rush of New Settlers—Personal Mention- Final Paragraphs. On Wavcross Train, May 4.— We came down to Jacksonville yesterday morning to take the Waycross Fast Line to Savannah, but found no train ready to leave until night. As I wished to see the new road in the day time, and also ride on the new train, we concluded to wait over until this morning. Fortunately the St. James Hotel was still open to special friends, and some thirty de layed passengers found a comfortable resting place there. Mr. J. R. Campbell, the genial and attentive host, ordered out his buggy and scoured the city for fresh supplies, which ena bled him to entertain us all in fine style. It was well that we remained over until to-day, as the train leaving last night was uncomfort ably crowded with passengers bound North and West. The Fred de Bary came down the river with a big load of homeward bound yisitors, cots being placed in the cabin for a large num ber. so crowded was the steamer. Most of the passengers left Jacksonville on the night train, and filled four sleeping cars. After an early but excellent breakfast at the St. James Hotel we boarded the fast train, where we were cordially greeted by that prince of polite and popular conductors, Capt. J. 1). Meynardie, who promptly attended to the comfort of our entire party (some fifteen), giv ing, as usual, his especial attention to the la dies and children traveling without any male companion. Although the train was well filled the Captain managed to give every passenger “the best seat on the shady side” of the cars, which is always a venr difficult task. But such a train! Taken as a whole I think it beats anything of the kind I ever saw in the South. The light native woods and darker trimmings of the cars attracted universal comment of the most complimentary charac ter. in fact, all the appointments of the train are elegant, substantial and comfortable. The smoking car, with its revolving easy chairs, card tables and tapestry carpet, misled a party of ladies and gentlemen from the St. James Hotel, who quietly seated themselves and be gan to admire their comfortable quarters, when Capt. Meynardie came in and told them, much to their surprise, that the “Parlor Car’’ was in the rear of the train. As the gifted pen of the city editor of the Morning News, B. H. Richardson, Esq has given a graphic, and interesting sketch of this new and already popular route, I need only indorse all the good things he has said about it. Most of this letter is written while the train is in motion, yet I think your printers will find it rather more legible than my epis tles generally are. This fact will prove that the road bed is remarkably even anu solid, and the trains run with great steadiness. Already this route (or root, as many pronounce it,) has become the most famous for its speed and comfort, and without such an efficient, handsome and gen tlemanly representative in Jacksonville as Mr. John H. Griffin, it would draw to its patronage nearly the entire travel by rail from Florida. Col. H. S. Haines has won the lastinggratilude of the traveling public for this last and noblest monument to his energy, ability and liberality as a railroad manager of the highest charac ter. A DELIGHTFUL PICNIC. About ten years ago Mr. William Beasley settled at what is now called Maitland, select ing the most charming spot in Florida for his residence. At that time he did not have a dollar in cash, but was full of energy and pluck. To-day he owns a place worth twenty thousand dollars, the result of honest industry and the companionship and co-operation of a wife noted for her rare domestic virtues. As Mr. Beasley was the first settler, and has on his place a beautiful and shady gi ove near the margin of the lake, the annual picnic of the Union Sunday school of Maitland is held on his grounds. This year the Ist day of May came on Sunday, so the picnic was held on last Saturday, which happened to be a very cool and pleasant day Your correspondent, hav ing received an official invitation from Captain J. A. Richardson, the ac omplished Suoerin tendent of the school, and formerly a promi nent citizen of Atlanta, concluded to attend and enjoy the happy occasion. Following a suspicious looking basket which our charming hostess, Mrs. Swoope. had sent ahead by a colored boy. we (my wife and I) rode from her pretty lake-side villa, on Lake Minnehaha, through the town to the picnic grounds. Just as we reached the gate Captain J. C. Eaton, (formerly of the United States Navy) the children’s patron saint, was seen coming up the street iu advance of two large wagons profusely shaded and decorated with moss, flowers and evergreens, in which were gathered the smaller children of the school, whose happy faces, bright eyes and white dresses showed that they were out for a day of real pleasure. Captain Eaton and his assistants had given them a fine start, and every countenance beamed with joyous expec tation of a continuance of the programme in like manner to the close of the day. Nor were the children disappointed in anv respect. The crowd had hardly taken possession of the grove when tbe announcement was made that the May Queen was approaching. Marching slowly down the slope came the royal proces sion, the Queen, a Miss Ada Lewis, of Ken tucky, cousin of Mrs. Beasley, being escorted by John C. Jones, Esq late of Atlanta, and followed by her gallant Knights and Maids of Honor, the Rev. J. J. Henry, of Canada, acting as Grand Marshal with great dignity. On reaching the handsomely decorated throne, Mr. Jones, in one of his eloquent and classical speeches, addressed the lovely and queenly lady who had been chosen “Queen of the May,” and taking from the bright-eyed crown bearer. Master Volney Taliaferro, of Atlanta, the floral crown, grace fully placed it upon her head, while all the people present paid homage to their lovely sov ereign. After this ceremony came the basket dinner, which gave everybody a chance to have a free and easy lunch. Judging from the cakes, pies, nuts, raisins and candy that 1 saw scattered about, lam sure the children were well looked after by their teachers and friends I am told there are very few servants in Malt land, which may account for the rare excel lence of the eatables. The ladies do their own cooking. The crowning of the Queen was interesting and the dinner good, but an intellectual feast was next given, and surpassed in attractive ness all that had preceded it. Capt. Richard son, in a few appropriate remarks, introduced Rev. C. W. Ward (son of the late Admiral Ward), rector of the Epi*copal Church, who first read with much tenderness and pathos Tennyson’s familiar poem of the “May Queen,” and then gave a most excellent rendition of “Biddy McGinnis at the Photographer’s.” The piece is long and difficult, but Mr. Ward main tained the “rich Irish brogue” to the end, and won hearty applause. I never heard a bet ter rendition from any professional reader on the stage. Major Sidney Herbert, in response to a call for the Morning News, made a few scattering remarks, after which Lewis Law rence. Esq a venerable an j philanthropic capitalist from Utica, N. Y„ gave the people a stirring talk. He was enthusiastic in his praise of Maitland, and his words of com mendation follow several large investments in and around tbe town. He lias proved his faith in Maitland by his good works. At the close of Mr. Lawrence’s lively speech Captain Richard son told the children they could spend the rest of the afternoon in their own way. This was the signal for lots of fun, and with Captain Eaton and Rev. Mr. Ward to help them, the young folks bad a merry time indeed. Your correspondent eat round under the shade of massive oaks enjoying the strong, refreshing breeze from across Lake Maitland, and watching Mr. James Bear, the handsome and gallant Virginian, rowing the ladies around the lake, while Capt. Eaton was equally attentive to the children. I have seldom en joyed such a delightfully cool and pleasant May day, and the meeting of old friends made the occasion more enjoyable. First on the list was Rev. W. G. F. Wallace, son of the late Rev. J. A. Wallace, D. D., of Clayton, Alabama, who is now preaching for the Presbyterian church at Apopka, at Orlando and Maitland. He is a young man of fine abilities and I was glad to find him in tuch a desirable field of labor. I also met Mr. James M. Lewis, form erly a printer in Clayton, Ala., and later a compositor In the Morning News office, but now residing at Maitland. These gentlemen and Messrs. Beasley, Richardson, Heard, Ven trers, Mayo, Taliaferro and Veers, helped me to pass a very delightful afternoon on the beautiful and breezy banks of Lake Maitland, around which are scattered so many charming lake-side villas and attractive winter homes. SOUTH FLORIDA RAILROAD. Last season this new railroad enterprise was being pushed ahead from Sanford to Orlando, but the first trains did not go through until about the Ist of June. Of course there has been a great rush of travel durir.g the past winter, and the road lias made money under Superintendent B. R. Bwoope‘s efficient man agement. But I was not prepared to see such costly and substantial wharf improvements at the Sanford terminus. The track runs to the river, where a large and strongly built wharf, which can accommodate five or six steamers at the same time, is being finished off in superior style aud with an eye to future wants. A depot building is provided for the river freight, but another one will soon be needed to meet the constantly increasing business. The rapid development of the country along the lin* of the road has created many new en terprises, and thereby nearly doubled the amount of freight daily earned out from San ford in years past. A glance at these wharf and depot facilities will convince any person that the South Flori da Railroad is to be something more than a mere local road to Orlando, It must soon stretch away toward the distant coast and open up to easy and quick transportation a large and rich section of tbe State that is new sadly in need of such facilities. Nor will this be all. I think it more than probable that seveial important franchises will yet spring out from the main line. A large committee from Apopka and Altamonte was at Sanford on Thursday In cons t Ration with the officers of the road in regard to a branch from near Snow’s station to their neigh borhood. This will no doubt be the first branch constructed and will add largely to the present business of the road. Other branches will follow as fast ag they can be constructed and put in operation. In view of an extension of the road and the building of branches, as well as to meet the requirements of the rapidly increased traffic, the present rails are to be taken up and relaid with heavier iron, and numerous other im provements made in the track and motive power of the road There are some seven or eight steam saw mills along the line, and these require the running of log trains. Heavier rails and stronger locomotives are needed for this kind of business. The first engine cur chased for the road has already been succeeded by a larger one, and that in turn will soon give place to still stronger engine. All these changes and improvements show that the road was not built any too soon for the demands of the country. RUSH OF NEW SETTLERS. The completion of the railroad has given a new impetus to the growth of Maitland and vicinity, and large lots of land a-e bring cut up into smaller sections and sold to new set tlers, while more ex ensive investments are changing hards. General S. G. French, of Columbus, Ga has just purcha-ed a valuable grove on Lake Vir ginia, aud other parties are also negotiating for lands in that desirable locality, some of which are owned by Mr. B R. Swoope, and which will be quite attrac ive when properly improved. Judge Dennis F. Hammond, a prominent lawyer of Atlanta, has recently purchased an orange grove on Lake Jesup and a building lot at Orlando, where be wi‘l probably open a law office next fall, having formed a partner ship with John O. Jon s. Esq of Maitland. He will be a valuable addition to the Orange coun ty bar. Mr. Benny Taliaferro, of Atlanta, has pur chased several valuable lots in front of his residence, which he has fenced and improved so as to add to the attractions of the business portion of the town. New stores and residences are springing up all about the neighborhood, and the building boom promises to keep up the year round I>r J. P. Logan, of Atlanta, with Captain Grant and Dr. Stanford, owns a large acd valuable tract of land running from Lake Minnehaha to the business portion of Maitland, and whenever he consents to sell efit building lots there will be a rapid and desira ble development at that end of the town. No man is better posted in regard to the growth and development of Orange county than Mr. B. R. Swoope, who, for years past, has been closely identified with the growth of that section of the State. In addition to his own groves and lands for sale, he bas had charge of the investments of men of capital, who have been attracted to Florida. Capt. Swoope is now in negotiation with wealthy parties who propose to make some large pur chases near Maitland, ar.d he predicts a big real estate boom this fall. As an expe rienced railroad manager, he is putting the South Florida Railroad into such shape that it can meet the demands upon it incident to such a boom. What is true of Orange county can be said of many other portions of Florida. There is and will continue to be an immense and steady in crease of settlers and land purchasers. It is in view of this fact that Commodore Wm. B. Watson, in charge of the Merchants’ Line of steamers, is uiging Mr. de Bary to build a com panion steamer to the etegant Fred de Bary. already the need of such a boat is felt, and the people are calling for its speedy construc tion. PERSONAL MENTION. Capt. J. A. Richardson, formerly a promi nent educator of Atlanta, and at one time can didate for Mayor of the city, has a fine school for boys and girls at Maitland. He is also Jus tice of the Peace for criminal business. John C. Jones, Esq who came from Atlanta to Maitland a few weeks ago and opened a law office, made his maiden Florida speech in court last week, and his first effort was quite a suc cess in all respects. Mr. E. Van Deman, who was purser of the steamer Geo. M. Bird last season, is now local agent at Sanford for the Merchants’ Line of steamers owned by Hr. Fred de Bary. As this is a daily line and does a large freightbusiness, it requires an active nd experienced manager. Bishop Whipple has arranged to erect a handsome church edifice at Maitland as a memorial to his deceased son, who formerly resided here. The services of the Protestant Episcopal Church are now held in the Town Hall, a’d are conducted by Rev. U. W. Ward, a talented preacher aud amiable pastor. J. M. Willcox, Esq., of Philadelphia, who has some large investments in real estate and has made many valuable improvements at Maitland, proposes to build a handsome church edifice for the Roman Catholic residents of that vicinity. This will attract a desirable class of settlers that would otherwise go else where. Lewis Lawrence, Esq of Utica, N. Y., who has a very fine fancy orang grove near the Park Hotel, has laid out a small settlement for industrious and worthy colored people, which he thinks wi 1 help to supply Maitland families with good help. Comfortable houses will be provided and a neat church building erected. FINAL PARAGRAPHS. The train from Jacksonville last night car ried away the remains of two consumptives, and also two who will scarcely live to reach their homes. One was a young lady, traveling alone to far off Kansas City, Mo., who said to my wife: “I do not expect to reach there alive.” And yet such hopeless cases come to Florida every winter to die there, or worse, to die on the cars homeward bound. It is hard, however, to convince consumptives that they are beyond the reach of relief or cure. I had the pleasure of meetingon the train this morning Col. Hugh Dempsey, the well known and übiquitous Division Superintendent of the Southern Express Company. He expresses himself both surprised and pleased at the opening up of so many and such desirable rail road lines in Florida. The Express Company has heretofore doue a large business in carry ing fruit and early vegetables, but the Way cross Short Line and the narrow gauge roads up the river will largely increase this branch of business. With his usual foresight and en ergy, he is preparing to fully meet all future increased demands in that direction. Jacksonville loses her steamship line to New York, and the opening of the Fernandina Short Line has also taken a ivay some of the largest steamers to Savannah, as they now run from Fernandina. But the city gains in new rail roads what she loses in steamers. The Way cross Short Line and the Fernandina Short Line are fixed Tacts, trains being run now over both routes. Work is soon to be commenced on the Jaoksonvi le and St a ugustine Rail road, and it will be completed for travel next fall. Arrangements are also being made for a speedy survey of anew and more direct route from Jacksonville to Brunswick, probably by an extension of the Fernandina Short Lice. I see no good reason, therefore, why Jackson ville should not be satisfied with changes that make her a great railroad centre, as well as a lively steamboat city. Chath.m.

Time 2:21*. Experience in New York with the electric light for street illumination, by which we should profit if Chesnut street is to be lighted by electricity seems to show that we will have to return to old time methods of "hanging” the lamps instead of supporting them on posts. The latter being very high, their shadows spread out to a circle nearly twenty feet in diameter. When the light is sus pended from a bracket or on a chain across the street, as with oil lamps in Spring Garden in the olden time —the best results are obtained. The practical question regarding the eleetric light is not so much what Tis their candle power as how many ordinary gaslights can be displaced by one voltaic arc light. The answer to this question appar ently given by the New York ex periments in street illumination is, that one electric light will replace four gas jets. They may be photometrically of several hundred candle power, but, practically, when duly shaded with por celain globes, each lamp is equivalent to not more than four gas jets. Much of the light is lost in the globe (which, how ever, is necessary) and much is also lost, compared with gas, through its concen tration at one point in place of being distributed. In some of the printing offices of New York both the voltaic arc lights and gas are used, the first general illumination, the second to overcome shadows and to separately light composi tors’ cases. The incandescent light promises to be better for everything except the lighting of large areas, and Mr. Edison is now at work on the pre liminaries for lighting two districts in New York, where the economical fea tures of the system can be satisfactorily tested. —-Philadelphia Ledger, BRITISH TOPICS.

London, May 6. —In the House of Lords to-day Earl Granville, Foreign Secretary, in reply to a question, said M. Barthelemy Bt. Hilaire, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, yesterday requested Lord Lyons, the British Ambaesador at Paris, to assure us that France had no idea of the conquest or annexation of Tunis. “We are not jealous of French influence at Tunis,” Earl Gran ville said, “so long as It is exercised within the treaty rights and without violence to the interest of British subjects.” The government, he said, will carefully watch any arrangement arising out of operations, etc., etc., that does not clash with these rights. The London correspondent of the Man chester Guardian 6ays The second reading of the land bill in the House of Commons will be carried by a majority of nearly a hundrtd without the Parnellites. It is generally felt that this majority existing independent ly of the Irish extremists will appear to the country more commanding than if these supported the bill. But Mr. Parnell and his friends are far from wish ing to be understood as rejecting the bill. Before the division is taken Mr. Bhaw and other Irishmen of authority will express their views on the great value and impor tance of the measure It is sta’ed that Mr. Bradlaugh is about to issue an appeal to tfce people, pointing out the manner in which ihe House of Commons is treating him, and as erti g that the Conservatives under cover of his case jeopardize the land bill and impede the business of the country. A dispa'ch from Durban to the Tones says: “The news from the Transvaal tends to in crease fear that the natives will attack the Boers when the British withdraw.

Six of Its windows are to be illuminated, and the interior is to be decorated. A handsome spire will be erected, with a peal of beils, the churchyard enclosed with handsome railings, and a monument placed over the Beacouefieid vault. The Be Lesseps Canal. Washington Correspondence N. Y. Tribune. “How is work on the De Lesseps canal advancing asked a Tribune corres pondent to-day of John M. Wilson, United States Consul at Panama, who lias lately arrived in Washington. “It is making very little progress,” was the reply. “How many men are employed, and what are they doing “There are about forty Frenchmen down there, about half of whom appear to be running lines in various directions, while the other half are commissaries, and so on. There are besides about a hundred Jamaica negroes engaged in cutting brush. Wyse has returned to France.” “Then nothing like serious work has yet been attempted?” “None whatever. Six stations have been established on the proposed line across the isthmus; but no houses have been built, and the men are living in tents. The rainy season has begun, and the men will soon be driven out of their tents by the storms. The truth is, it does not look to me as though De Lesseps ever intends to dig a canal there. He estimates that 'it will cost 90,000,000, when everybody else who knows anything about such matters, says it will cost nearer ten times that sum; that the canal will be finished in ten years, and that in the meantime people who buy stock shall receive 5 per cent, interest upon its par value. Thus interest alone will add from 5 to 40 per cent, to the cost of the canal. But I don’t believe any canal will be built there. De Lesseps is a great diplomat, but a poor financier; and if he really in tends in good faith to dig a canal, I think he will fail.” Where Gold Dollars Go To. Director of the Mint Burcbard, who has lately returned from an official visit to New Orleans and St. Louis, reports the mint in good shape at New Orleans, and the coinage is at the rate of 600,000 silver dollars per month. This is assign ed as their share of the $2,000,000. ac cording to their facilities. The Phila delphia mint is exclusively at work on gold at the iate of $5,000,000 a month. There are some inquiries as to where this money goes to. Every month now $5,- 000,000 of $5 and $lO gold pieces are being coined, and there is more than enough bullion on hand to keep the mint going a year as it has been kept up for some months. This coin is paid out to bullion owners, who bring their gold for coinage, and then disappears. Very little finds its way to the banks and the increase in Treasury stock is not rapid. Mr. Burcbard is inclined to the opinion that it is absorbed by the work ing classes, who hoard small sums of hard cash rather than place it in the sav ings banks, as they would do were they only able to secure possession of the perishable paper. A $5 or $lO gold piece put away once a month by a large pro portion of artisans and laborers would readily account for Us mysterious disap pearance, provided this is the true theory. I I Nihilist Bomb3.— The bomb that kill ed the Czar, according to the Gaulois, which publishes a “fac simile, natural size,” showing the internal arrangements of the explosives, was a tin cylinder, six inches long by three broad. Down the centre was a copper tube, filled with Bertholet’s salt and antimony, and through this ran a glass tube, hermeti cally sealed, containing sulphuric acid. A leaden weight was so placed as to break the glass lube when the bomb struck. The flame occasioned by the contact of the sulphuric acid with Ber tholet’s salt passed by a small channel to a cartridge with a fulminating composi tion at the head and pyroxyline below. The fulminate fired the pyroxyline, and the explosion of the pyroxyline ignited the nitro glycerine with which the cylin der was charged. If one of the tubes had been choked, the future of Europe and Asia might have been altogether different from that which is now in course of development. —London Truth.

£hr fhtrs. NO. 3 WHITAKER STREET, (MORNING NEWS BUILDING' J, H. K*>TILL, Proprietor. Vf. T. THOBPSOX, EilHor. SATURDAY, MAY 7. 18S. Silk Culture in the South Mr. George R. Cook, writing from B&rrsrille, Columbia county, Florida, asks U3 if we can refer him to some par ties from whom he would be most likely to procure silk worm eggs and the best work upon silk culture, and such other information relative to such culture as might prove valuable. He also states that he is impressed with the idea that the silk worm would do well in the climate in which he resides if properly cared for, and he requests us to give him any facts in our possession likely to prove the contrary. In reply to his first question we will refer our correspondent to the Woman's Silk Culture Association, No 1328 Ches nut street, Philadelphia, which associa tion will furnish information as to the places where the eggs can be procured, how the worm should be bred, the co coons stifled and packed, and the, best market for the same. In short all needed information on the subject. As to the second question, we know of nothing to prevent the silk worm from being bred successfully in Colum bia county, Florida, and indeed through out that entire -ection of country. They can be sue- Hy produced wherever the mulberry jT the osage orange flourish, and we believe these trees grow with little i. ill ilty throughout that sec tion. As fort tier proof, however, that the worm- cin be bred there, we have on our ta' e now a small box containing twenty-six live cocoons, raised this spring by Mr. John Stark, of Thomasville, proprietor of the Piney Woods Vineyard at that place, which cocoons are packed away in their own silk as securely as if in cotton, and will produce the moth in a week or two to lay eggs for the next year's brood. Thus Mr. Stark, who has devoted some time to the culture of the silk worm, furnishes practical proof of the adapta bility ot the climate of his section for the production of the worms and cocoons, and our Florida correspondent might doubtless obtain from him much of the information he desires. Certainly if the worm does well in Thomasville it ought to do well in Columbia county, Florida, which adjoins Thomas county in this State. We are very glad to see that the arti cles which have appeared in the News on this subject are exciting so much in terest therein, and hope that the result will be of great benefit to our farmer friends. Thousands upon thousands of dollars are annually sent abroad for the purchase of silk, and there is no reason why this money should not be kept in the country, and a large proportion of it brought to the South to add to her fu ture wealth. Experiments in silk culture could easily be made anywhere by our farmers, and their wives and daughters, at little cost. Indeed such experiments might be conducted at first as pleasant pas time, and then, if found profitable, they might easily be extended. There is no reason either why they should not prove profitable, for there is no danger of the market being overstocked. Silk is an elegant and durable article of dress, and if it can be brought within the means of all, every lady in the country will pur chase it. If not millions, there are, we believe, at least thousands in it, and those thousands would be just that much clear gain to to our farmers and to the South. We trust, therefore, these experiments will be freely made, and that abundant suc cess will be realized. The Nashville American thinks that Mr. Garfield occupies a position pecu liarly favorable to a thorough and searching investigation of the doings of the star route ring. It reasons that “he cares nothing for Hayes’ administration and its reputation. He occupies a far better position than Mr. Hayes, and is in a position to rake his administration fore and aft. Occupying a better moral plane, he doubtless has the secret con tempt for Hayes and the way he came into office which all Republicans feel and some openly declare. Having been subjected to serious charges himself, and having gone in clear of all connection with any such political rascality as placed Hayes in office, he will naturally desire to show the world by his manner of dealing with rascality that he has been unjustly suspected. He was elected notwithstanding the charges made against him, and now he is in a position every way to proceed to the bitter end in hunting down rascality, and if such a course shall injure the party it will not injure him, and will benefit the country, It takes a broad man, when surrounded by party friends urging concealment and threatening loss of future support, to go forward resolutely in such a course; but for a man who can rise to that height there is personal honor and fame, even if there be also the destruction of a party to which he belongs. The “courtesy of the Senate,” of which we hear so much just now, means simply that no Senator shall vote for any nomination by the President for any office in any State unless such nomina tion shall meet the approval of the Sena tors from that State. If this doctrine is to prevail, the President might at once yield up his constitutional right to make nominations, and turn the whole matter over to the Senate, to be fixed up as the members of that body shall determine, for, under the "courtesy” rule, the Chief Executive becomes less than a figure head. Pending a rehearing in court the Sec retary of the Treasury has revoked the circular reducing the duty on hosiery to 35 per cent. As long as manufacturers must pay a duty of 50 per cent on wool it is manifest they must have more than 85 per cent on their product But, the Philadelphia Record properly suggests, that it is no great comfort to the wearers of knit goods that they are obliged to pay 75 per cent, more for them in order that they may He made in this country. The New York Tribune isof the opin ion that of all Postmaster Generals the country has ever had, Mr. James is the most fortunate in his opportunities. He already has gained great renown for his exposures of the star route frauds, and now, that paper thinks, if he will only sit down hard upon the lotteries in the country, and refuse them the use of the mails for carrying on their questionable business, he will secure to himself ever lasting fame. The United States Government has pre sented two gold medals to the chiefs of Indian tribes on Vancouver Island who succored the crew of a wrecked Amer ican vessel last summer. The Volume of Mosey In the Country. It is a subject of general remark that never before in the history of the coun try has money been so plentiful or has the rate of interest been so generally uniform in all sections. Banks which a few years ago could easily discount good paper at seven, eight and nine per cent, are now, in many cases, glad to loan their funds at five per cent, and even less, while investors generally seem to be satisfied to receive three per cent on their investments. This is doubtless why we have seen the New York se curity market continue steadily to ad vance, notwithstanding the apparently high figures it had previously reached, and the tendency seems still to be up ward. Commenting on this plethora of money in the country, the Philadelphia Press reasons that this condition of af fairs would be the less remarkable if the general prosperity of the country were not a matter for comment all over the world. It says one has only to look at the mills to see that they are running on full time with all hands employed, and to search for workmen to ascertain that there are few to be had. A glance at the adver tising columns of the leading newspa pers will show that millions are asked for new enterprises which are not pro jects of the future, but which are already actively employing both men and means. Never before, even in the days of the Pacific railroads, have the plans of railway extension been less important or less expensive. The present year will probably witness the greatest pro gress ever known in any country in railroad building, and the largest amount ever yet paid out for labor in the iron mills, the coal mines, and the machine shops. The cotton crop bids fair to be the largesUhat was ever raised; the grain crop will be so abundant that it will not only exceed that of any previous year, but it will be sold at a profit to foreign nations at such a price that they will buy from us in preference to raising their own breadstuffs, and our exports of pro visions and dairy products will also be upon an unprecedented scale. Already immigration has attained such a volume as was never known before, and ocean steamships are taking our products abroad at very low prices in order that they may bring back to us the host of foreigners who are seeking homes in the new world. With all this, remarks that paper further, “the spirit of speculation is comparatively dormant. Attempts to hold up the prices of provisions and bread stuffs have failed, and the bulls have been compelled to yield, make a settle ment, and allow the market to take its course. There is so much money that the six per cents, will be almost all ex tended at three and a half per cent.—-a reduction in the rate of interest on a national debt such as was never known before on the face of the globe. Even now the price of the six per cents, on the market is such that those who decline to extend them and call for the principal will lose more than one per cent., or, to put it in another way.the extended six per cents., which will not begin to draw in terest until July next, are now selling at a premium of more than one per cent. “We cannot,” continues the Press, “look upon such a condition of affairs as other than most favorable. The whole tendency of capital is toward safe investments, and the rate of interest upon such is so low that there is always a surplus for new enterprises which have anything of promise. When a great railroad company is in the market for a loan of millions, and offers it at a premium when promising only four and a half per cent, interest, there is little reason to fear for the finances of the country.” A General Local Option Law. The Woman’s Christian Temperance Union of Atlanta is now circulating four thousand copies of the following petition to be presented next July to the Legisla ture, and all the papers of the State are requested to give publicity to the same: “To the General Assembly of the State of Georgia: In view of the misery, poverty and crime resulting from intem perance, we, the undersigned citizens of the State of Georgia, residing in the county of do most re spectfully and earnestly peti tion you in favor of the passage of a law allowing the qualified voters of cities, towns, counties, and militia districts, at any election held therein (except localities where the sale of intoxicating liquors is already re stricted or prohibited by local law,) to decide by ballot whether they will pro hibit the sale of intoxicating liquors (ex cept for medicinal, mechanical and sac ramental purposes) in their several lo calities.” All persons willing to obtain signatures to this petition can obtain copies by writing to the Woman’s Christian Tem perance Union, Atlanta, Ga. Anew gas company has been organ ized in Baltimore with a capital of $3,- 000,000. The company will be ready to furnish gas to customers November 1. The price of the gas will not be more than sl' 50 per thousand cubic feet If it supplies two-thirds of the consump tion of the city the price will not be more than $1 25 per thousand cubic feet. The quality of the gas is to be of the best and free from impurities. It is claimed by Mrs. Washington, of Westmoreland county, Virginia, a de scendant of George Washington, that the spot selected by ex-Secretary Evarts for the monument to mark Washington’s birthplace is not the proper locality; that she knows the exact spot where the old house in which Washington was born stood, and it is some distance from the point selected for the monument. Even that ultra radical organ, the Chicago Triburu, cannot justify the star route thieves. It is forced to admit that even if they did send a portion of their money to Indiana to purchase that State for the Republicans, it does not lessen the enormity of their crimes. The Tribune is right. To the contrary, it is but an exaggeration of their crimes. In 1882 the planet Venus will make a transit across the sun’s disc, which will be visible throughout the whole of North America. Astronomers are already mak- for the observations of this transit, which will be the greatest astronomical event anticipated in this quarter of the globe during the present century. Lord Beaconsfieid died a poor man, and his heir, Ralph Disraeli, will find little profit in his legacy for years to come. There is a mortgage upon the Hughenden estate. Two crows have built a nest in one of the two fine plane trees in the centre of the city of London, inside the arch way in St. Paul’s Church yard. The plane trees in question are remarkable as the home each night of from 5,000 to 6,000 of the London sparrows. An enterprising boy in Springfield,Hl., is said to have bought the shingles on the old home of Lincoln for a dollar, and to be manipulating them by means of a scroll saw into mementoes of more or less artistic design, which he is selling at fifty cents each. Tell Tale Statistics. Mr. Frye, in his recent bilious dia tribe against the South, took occasion to declare that, while ignorance and misery prevailed in the bright Sunland, the people of bleak New England were the happiest and best paid under the sun. Unfortunately, the Senator from Maine either did not speak by the card, or he is in dense ignorance of the real condition of affairs in his own section. The Louisville Courier- Journal, unfortunately for the gentle man from New England, has collated from the recent report of Mr. Carroll D. Wright, of the Massachusetts Bureau of Labor and Statistics, some facts and figures about labor hours and compensa tion in that enlightened and cultured portion of the universe, which hardly sustains Mr. Frye’s assertion. According to Mr. Wright’s report, in the mills of Maine men are paid $7 50 a week, and women get only $5 50, while the little children receive from $2 25 to fo 40 in the woolen mills, which pay the largest wages. One paper mill in Maine pays men $lO 50 a week and women $5 50, working seventy two hours a week. In New Hampshire the wages are much lower than those paid in Maine, and the operatives are required to work sixty-six hours in the week. In Rhode Island the x’ages are a little higher, with sixty-six hours of work during the week. In Con necticut operatives work ninety hours a week—fifteen hours a day for six days— and the wages are $0 for men, $4 80 for women, $5 10 for male children and $4 50 for female children. The highest spinners’ wages are $6. In Massachu setts from sixty-three to sixty-six hours of labor a week are exacted, and spin ners only get $1 08 a day: the highest class of labor in the mills not exceeding $lO to sl2 for the men. Commenting on the above statistics, the Courier Journal not only deems Mr. Frye’s statement completely refuted, but derives therefrom a satisfactory theory as to the prevalence of intemperance in New England, for it winds up its article with the following parting shot: “The statistician remarks that ‘long hours and poorly-paid labor tend to brutalize,’ and, as he shows that one manufacturing town in Massachusetts supports 400 rum holes, it looks as if the long hours and poor wages system drives men and women to the ‘flowing bowl.’ ©rorrrus anti A GRAND SUCCESS.

The festival and entertainment given last evening at the old Wesley Church building was a very pleasant success. The pump on Lumber street, near Stubbs’ warehouse, is in need of attention. The proper authorities should look after it. The damage to the rudder of the steamer Florida was repaired yesterday, and she left for Florida at 6 o’clock last evening. Mr. B. R. Davenport, formerly of this city but now of St. Louis, is spending a few davs in Savannah. He is looking remarka bly well. Yesterday’s Morning News contained an announcement that Mr. Platshek was of fering “lace mi*®, at five cents a pair.” It should have been 50 cents a pair, and was a typographical mistake. Gen. Eli Warren, of Perry, Ga., is spend ing a few days in this city with his son, Hon. J. L. Warren. Gen. Warren Is accom panied by his wife.

During the re hearsal of the comic opera of “Billie Tay lor,” by the talented company who lately produced with such marked success the “Pirates of Penzance,” under the direction of Prof. Charles S. Mallette, there was a sudden pause, when the Professor was called to the front. Mr. T. C. Leutze then, in a very neat and appropriate speech in bebalf of the gallant pirates, the brave policemen and the charming daughters of General Stanley, pre sented him a very elegant gold beaded cane as a token of their esteem and friendship. The Professor was completely surprised, but made a fitting reply, in which he stated he beiieved “their intentions were well meant,” but he felt rather revengeful for being thus unexpectedly placed in such poeition. The affair ended very happily and the occasion will long be re membered. The inscription on the head of the cane is as follows: To Pbofessob Charles 8. Maalette, from tbe Pirates of Penzance. May 6th, 1881. Excursion to Beaufort. The fast steamer Eliza Hancox will make an excursion to Beaufort, 8.

Opened by prayer from Revs. Messrs. Boone and Davis. TTie Committee on Constitution and Can ons reported an amendment to the constitu tion giving the Bishop’s Church in Atlanta tbe right to elect three lay delegates to the convention. Adopted. Committee on Missions recommended the following amendment to the tenth section of the cannon on missions, giving the Treasurer for missions the right to borrow money to pay missionaries. The Committee on Finance reported that the reports of the Treasurer of the Diocese was correct, and reported against using for the present the income of the permanent fund to pay the salary of the Bishop. The Committee on the Slate of the Church submitted a report, which was adopted with the exception of the first res olution, which was laid over until the next convention. Governor Conley moved an amendment to canon seventeen, striking out the word “white” on the third line of the second clause and substituting “actual,” so that the canon will read, “The vestry of each church in union with this con vention shall pay or cause to be paid into the hands of the Treasurer of the Convention, the sum of twenty-five cents for each actual communicant annually, for defraying the incidental expenses of the Convention, which amendment was laid over for action at the next convention. The Committee on Unfinished Business submitted the followimr report: Your Committee on Unfinished Business begs leave to report that it has discovered but three matters that were left over by the last convention to be disposed of by the present. The first is the body of Rules of Order on page 23 of the Journal, which have already been taken up and adopted by this convention. The third is a proposi tion of very vital importance, embracing questions quite momentous and fundamen tal. It is found on page 51 of the Journal. Mr. Davidson offered the following amendment to the constitution: “No parish shall be entitled to lay representa tives in this convention until it has paid its assessment for the Bishop’s salary and convention expenses. And when the certificates of lay delegates are present ed. the delegates shall not be considered en titled to seata until it be ascertained that the parishes which they severally represent have paid 6atd Bishop’s salary and conven tion expenses, or until satisfactory reasons be given to the convention for its failure to pay.” The committee claims the privilege of re commending this suggested amendment to the prompt and careful consideration of this convention, as its propositions are deep-reaching, and touch upon cherished rights of the several parishes, which may not be approached “lightly or unadvis edly.” Second. A report from Mr. R. S. Bloom field in reference to the fund for widows and orphans of deceased clergymen, which has already been referred to the Finance Committee. The report was received as information. A resolution was adopted instructing the Secretary to renumber the articles of the constitution in accordance with the amend ment adopted. The committee on the University of the South submitted a thorough report in refer ence to its needs and condition; whereupon the following resolution, offered by Col. John Screven, was adopted: Resolved, That the Bishop be requested to lay before the various parishes the need of the University of the South, and request their contributions for this purpose, and to indicate the proportion which each parish should contribute. Rev. Mr. Wingate offered the following, which was adopted: Resolved, That the thanks of the conven tion be tendered to the parish of Christ Church and members of St. John’s Church, for the generous and delicate hospitality with which the members have been enter tained by them while in their city. Rev. Mr. Boone offered the following, which was adopted: Resolved, That the thanks of this conven tion are due and hereby tendered to Alfred Haywood, Esq., Trea;urer of the fund for the permanent endowment of the Episco pate of the diocese, for his long, faithful and successful services as treasurer of this fund. In parting from Mr. Haywood in this capacity the coi nMo. eturns him hearty thanks and give.- uiin i best wishes. By Rev. Mr. Pond Resdvtd The form of parochial re ports be amended so as to call for the amount contributed to the infirm clergy men. Adop'ed. Bv Rev. Mr. W. E. Eppes— Resolved, That this convention recieves with profound sorrow the tidings of the demise of our brother, the late P. Teller Babbitt, rector of St. John’s Church, Bain bridge. Resolved, That bowing submissively to the will of our Heavenly Father, in thus re moving one of our fellow servants from the church below to the church above, we feel that we have lost a faithful captain, a learned divine, an humble Christian, in whose character were blended In unusual combination the traits of the student, the teacher and the pastor. “Diligent in busi ness, ferverent in spirit, seeking the Lord.” Resolved, That we tender our heartfelt sympathy to the family of our late dearly beloved brother in the Lord in this the hour of their sorrow, lovingly reminding them that to the children of God there arlseth light in darkness. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be transmitted by the Secretary of this body to the family of our departed brother. These resolutions were unanimously adopted by a rising vote. Bv Gov. Conley: Resolved, That one thousand copies of the journal of the proceedings of this convention with constitution and canons be published for the use of the Diocese of Georgia. Adopted. Rev. G. W. Strickland, of South Carolina, was invited to a seat In the convention. The following was offered by Mr. J. M. Guerard, and adopted unanimously by a rising vote: Whereas, It has pleased the Divine Head of the church to remove from the scenes of his usefulness our brother, John R. Johnson, who so long and faithfully served not only the church in this diocese, but that in the United States. Reserved, That we hail the entrance of our brother into the Church triumphant as to him a great gain, we feel in It our loss. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent by the Secretary to the family of our brother. After an eloquent and powerful address from the Bishop and prayer and benediction the convention adjourned sine die. “The Secret* of tlie Wbluky Ring.” Gen. John McDonald, the author of the now celebrated book known as the “Secrets of the Great Whisky Ring," in which he was one of the head managers, has been in the city for several days and will leave to-day. His book Is exceedingly Interesting, and gives a com plete history of the whisky frauds, which culminated in 1875, and is one of the links which will, 6ome of these days, assist in furnishing light to the people of this country concerning the rascalities which the wire-pullers of the so-called Republican politicians perpetrated upon the Northern people whom they blinded by flaunting in their faces the “bloody shirt.” In short, the book forms a part of the history of the epoch of fraud aud infamy, which begun in 1861 and which, as Is evidenced by the star route swindles recently developed, has not yet ended.
