YV ashikgton, May 16.—The resignations of Ccnkliug aud Platt created a profound sensation here and took everybody by sur prise. It ia all the talk to night, and the News correspondent has gathered the most important facta. The caucus lasted over three hours. It had been called in conse quence of the situation, as precipitated by the action of ex Senators Conkling and Platt, and naturally little was talked of. The discussion was at no time excited, and but for the peculiar circumstances under which tbe caucus bad been called it would have been hardly in teresting. The attendance was of course almost entirely of admiulstratlcn Senators, since to-day’s depletion of the stalwart ranks had left that wing of the party in a helpless and sullen minority. There was but one opinion with reference to the resignations, and that was that the act of sending them was wholly indefensible and unworthy of a Senator. It was pointed out at length, and generally assented to, that there being no principle at stake, but merely a contest for patronage, there had been no reason for anything more than a a respectful protest on the part of those who disagreed in this matter with the administration. This the caucus had encouraged, and the Sena tors thought that their courtesy and tole ration had been but illy repaid, when, hon est attempts at conciliation having failed, the Senators in whose behalf they had been made should adopt the child’s trick of re fuse to play because they could not have everything their owu way. There was some discussion in the caucus over civil service principles as illustrated in the Robertson nomination, and in the end, although no vote was taken, it was generally understood that the work in executive ees siou should go on and be disposed of with the view of getting an adjournment this week, as previously contemplated. This was after the advisability bad been considered of deferring action upon tbe Robertson case uutil the New York L°gis lature should have an opportunity of filling the vacaucies occasioned by the resignations. That course was not regarded with favor, and the caucus adjourned with the under standing, as stated, that the work shoujd go on. That, meanwhile, the Senators might feel at liberty to consult with the President, and that the Chairman, Mr. Anthony, might thereafter, in his discretion, call another caucus. It is therefore ex pected by the Republicans to-night that Mr. Robertson will be confirmed to-morrow, although none of them will venture to give assurances that something may cot inter vene to defer action until after to-morrow. Mr. Anthony called at the White House to-night and found the President resolu’e and entirely satisfied with the situation. He considered the resignations as virtually a surrender by Mr. Conkling, who had found so little support and foresaw so complete a defeat that he bad chosen, rather than face the final contest, to evade the issue by tem porarily vacating his 6eat in the Senate. SENATE PROCEEDINGS. The Vice President laid before the Sen ate the following communication: “Washington. D. C., May 16, 1831. “To Hon C. A. Arthur, Vice President: “Hr— Will you ploase announce tithe Senate that mx resign ation as Aerator of th United States from the state of New ork has been forwarded to the Governor of the State? “I have the honor to be, with great respect, your obedient servant, “[Signed] Boscoe Conkuno.” This communication was received with a grea' sensation, which was heightened when the Vice President laid the following before the Senate: “Senate Chamber. May 16, ISBI. “To Hon. C. A. Arthur, Vice President: “cir —I have forwarded to the Governor of the state of New York my resignation as senator of the United States for the S ate of New York. Will you please announce the fact to the Senate? “With great respect, your obedient servant, “[Signed] T. C. Platt.” A hum of astonishment followed the rcadiog of this communication, and Mr. Hill, of Georgia, suggested, sotto voce, that this would be a good time to elect officers of the Senate. Mr. Burnside, Chairman of the Commit tee on Foreign Relations, reported back favorably from that committee the resolu tion declaring the consent of the United States Government to be a condition prece dent to the construction of 6hip canals or other ways for transportation of sea going vessels across the Isthmus connecting North and South America, and also to ruie6 and regulations under which other nations shall participate in the use of such canals or other ways. Mr. Burnside gave notice that he would’ call it up to-morrow. Mr. Dawe6 moved to go into executive se c sion. Mr. Cockrell—l thought you wanted to consider the other resolution. Mr. Dawes—l had no idea but that the Senator would like to go on with It. It Is in accordance with the disposition which has been fhown from tbe btginnlrg. Mr. Hill, of Georgia—The Senator said that the republic would be subverted if the resolution was not acted upon. Mr. Dawes —But tbe Senator would never be convinced until he happened to have the majority. Mr. Hill —Oh! We won’t Insist upon hav ing It considered. Mr. accident is an eye-opener to the Senate. Mr. Hill turned around and suggested to Mr Davis, of Illinois, that there was noth ing to prevent the Senate from adjourning this week. The Beoate then, at 12:30, went into ex ecutive session. When the doors were reopened, at 1:40, the Senate adjourned until to morrow. THE “STAK” ON CONKLING AND PLATT’S MOVE. The Star this evening says: “When the news of the resignations of Senators Conklirg and Piatt reached the Treasury Depart ment to day great excitement ensued, and officials and subordinates alike were soon gathered in groups throughout -qtdtng discussing the situation and its r T i; eU'ect.

This course, hewtvi-r, it is conceded by prominent Re publicans, can easily be brought about. “president Garfield was apprised of the contemp’ated resignations this morning and remarked to a Treasury official shortly before twelve o’clock that he uews to arrive momentarily.

Why They Resigned—A Very Neat Piece of Special Pleading —The Story of the New York Nominations as Told by the Crestfallen Bosses. Albany, N. Y., May 16.—The following 16 the letter of resignation of Senators Conk ling and Platt: Washington, D. C May 14,1881. Sir —Transmitting as we do our resigna tions respectively of the great trust with which New York has honored us, it is fit that we acquaint you. and through vou the Legislature and people of the State, with the reasons which, in our judgment, make such a step respectful and necessary. Some weeks ago the President sent to the Senate a group of nominations of several persons for public offices already filled. One of these offices is the Collectorship of the port of New York, now held by Gen. Mer ritt,. Another is the Consul Generalship at London, now held by General Bideau. An other is that of Charge d’Affalres to Den mark, held by Mr Cramer. Another is the mission to Switzerland, held by Mr. Fisb, a son of the former dis’inguiehed Sec retary of State. Mr. Fish had, in deference to an ancient practice, placed hi 6 position at the disposal of the new administration, but like the other per sons named he was ready to remain at his post if permitted to do so. All of these officers, save only Mr. Cramer, are citizens of New York. It was proposed to displace them all, not for any alleged failure or for any alleged need or advantage of the pub lic service, but in order to give the great office of Collector of the Port of New York to Mr. William H. Robertson, as reward for certain acts of his said to have aided in making the nomination of Mr. Garfield pos sible. The chain of rewards thus proposed was broken by General Badeau’s promptly de dining to accept the new place to which he was to be sent. These nominations sum moned every member of the Senate to say whether he advised such a transaction. The movement was more than a surprise. We had been told only a few hours before that no removals in the New York offices were soon to be made or even considered, and had been requested to withhold the papers and suggestions bearing on the sub ject, which had been sent to us for presenta tion should occat-ion arise, until we had notice from the President of his readiness to receive them. Hearing that, the Vice President was equally suiprised and had been equally misled. We went to Mr. James, the Cabinet ofil cer from our State, aud learned that though he had spent some time with the President on the morning of the day the nominations were sect in no disclosure of any intention to send them had been made to him,,and that he first knew of the matter by hearsay. Following the event, after earnest reflec tion and consultation, we believed the proceeding unwise and wrong, whether considered wholly In relation to the preservation and integrity of the public service and the public exam ple to be set, or in relation to the integrity of the Republican party. No public utterance of comment or censure was made by either of us in the Senate or elsewhere. On the con trary, we thought the President would reconsider this actioD, so sudden and hasty, and would at least adopt less hurtful and objectionable modes of requiting persona! or Individual service. In tbls hope tbe following paper was pre pared and signed, and presented by Mr. James to the President, who was subse quently informed that you had authorized your name to be added also. To the President We beg leave to re monstrate against a change in the Collector ship at New York, by the removal of Mr. Merritt and the appointment of Mr. Rob ertson. The proposal was wholly a sur prise. We heard of it only when several nominations involved In the plan were announced in tbe Senate. We had only two days before this been informed from you that a change iu the customs office at New York was not contemplated, and quite igno rant of a purpose to take any action now, we bad no opportunity until after the nomi nations to make the suggestions we now present. We do not believe that the inter est of the public service will be promoted by removing tbe present Collector and putting Mr. Robertson in his stead. Our opinion is quite the reverse, and we believe no political advantage cau be gained for either the Republican party or its prin ciples. Believing that no individual has claims or obligations which should be liqui dated in such a mode, we earnestly and respectfully ask that tbe nomination of Mr. Robertson be withdrawn. [Signed] CHESTER A. Arthur, T. C. Platt, Thomas L. James, Roscoe Conkling. This paper was presented by Mr. James on Monday, the 20th dav of March. Kuow ing the frequency with which every one of the twenty Presidents of the republic, and markedly the present iucumbent, had with drawn nominations on less serious rep resentations, we did not apprehend that such a suggestion would be treated as an Intrusion or an invasion of the prerogative of the nominating power. We were disappointed. Immedi ately tbe public press, especially in articles and dispatches written by those in close and constant, association with the President and withal! influential members of his Cabinet, teemed with violent denunciations of the Senators from New York for “opposing the administration.” and of “dictating” to the President. Persons who visited tbe Executive Mansion reported the President as resentful and impatient at the hesitation “to advise and consent" to what he pro-r posed. We had made, we have made no assault upon anybody. We have at all times refused to answer questions by repre sentatives of the press, or to make com plaint, or comment, or neuial &t the many truthless charges against us by officious champions of the administration. Indeed, beyond confidential consultation with brother Senators and officials, we have said nothing until now on the subject, nor have we, or either of us, promoted the dead-lock in the Senate in order to prevent or influ ence action on any nomination, nor have we so stated. Immediately after the nominations were made letters and telegrams in great num bers came from every part of the State from its leading citizens, protesting against tbe proposed changes, and condemning them on many grounds. Several thousand of the leading mercantile firms of New York, cons’itu'iog, we are informed, a majority of every branch of trade, sent us remon strances. Sixty of the eighty-one Repub ican members of the Assembly, by letter or me morial, made objection. Representatives in Congress, State officials, business men, professional men, commercial, Industrial and political associations are amoDg the remonstrants, and they speak from every section of tbe State. Besides the nominations already referred to there were awaiting the act.iqn of the Senate several citizens of New York named for offices connected with the courts, Dis trict Attorneys and Marshals. These were all reappointments. Most of them had been originally commissioned by Mr. Hayes. They were certified by Judges of the courts and many other eminent persons,who attested the faithfulness and the merits of their services, and recommended their con tinuance. They were Lot presented by us We have not attempted to dictate, nor have we asked the nomination of one person to any ofljee In the State. Indeed, with the sole exception of writ jfen recjueht set forth Above, we have never even Expressed an opinion to the President in case unless questioned iu regard to [t. Some day* ago tha president abruptly withdrew by one and the same act the names of Gen. Woodford and Mr. Tenney and of the two Marshals. This unprecedented proceeding, whether permissible by law or not, was gravely significant. The President had nominated these officers after they had been weighed in the balance. Their official records were before him and hud been iulty scrutinized and approved. It must be 'presumed that he thought the nominations fit to be made, and that it was bis fluty to make them. There Is no allegation that he discovered unfitness in them afterwards. It could hardly be that be had discovered unfitness in all of them alike. What then was the mean- Irg and the jjprpdee qf t|j{3 peremptory step? Jt was immediately stated, as If by au thority, and it seems to be admitted, that the purpose was to coerce the Senate, or Senators, to vote as they would not vote if left free from executive interference. The design was to control the action of Senators touching matters committed by the Consti tution to tbe Senate, and to the Benate ex clusively. It had been suggested in addi tion that by recalling these nominations and holding them in bis own hands, the President might, in the event of the' failhVe of another use them to compensate for that failure.' If it can be fenpposed*that all these public trusts are to b; or would, in any event, be mafia person al perquisites to be ’hahdled and disposed of not only to punish independence pf Senato rial vetes or action, but to liquidate tue pe‘r son&l obligations of any individual, however high in station, tbe conditions are equally vicious and degrading, and their acceptance would compel the representatives of Btates to fling down their oath and report for duty at the foot-stool of the executive power. Following this strictly sweeping executive act came ominous avowals that dissent or failure to advise and consent would be held an act of offense, exposing all the Senators, from whatever State, to executive dis pleasure. Thus, we find ourselves con fronted by the qufstion, whether we shall surrender the plain right and sworn duty of Senators, by consenting to what we believe to be vicious and hurtful, or be assigned the position of dis loyalty to the administration, which we helped to bring in, and the success of which we earnestly wished for? From every reason and motive which can enter into the case we know of no theory aimed at by any party which requires such submission as is now exacted. Although party service may be fairly considered in making selections ot public officers, it can hardly be maintained that the Senate is bound to remove without cause Incumbents merely to make places for those whom any individual, even the President or a member of his Cabinet, wishes to repay for being rec reant to others or serviceable to him. Only about two years ago the Senate advtsed that General Merritt be appointed Collector at New York. It is understood that among the Senators who so advised was Mr. Win dom, now Secretary of the Treasury, and head of the department whose subordinate General Merritt is. Another Senator known to have given this advice was Mr. Kirkwood, now Secretary of the Interior. It is said that, like the Postmaster General from our own State, these Cabinet officers were not taken Into consultation touching the re moval of General Merritt, but their sworn official action as Senator is none the less In structive. That the Secretary of the Treasury and late administration, up to its expiration less than ten weeks ago, approved Gen. Merritt as an officer is well known. It is not sug gested that any citizen had petitioned for his removal, or that any official delinquency on his part is the reason of it. In the place of an experienced officer In the midst of his term, fixed by law, it is proposed to put a man who has had no training for the posi tion, and who cannot be 6atd to have any special fitness for its official duties. In the inaugural of President Garfield, de livered‘on the 4'h of March, stand these words: “The civil service can never be placed on a satisfactory basis until it is reg ulated by law for the good of the service itself, for the protection of those who are interested with appointing power Bgalnst the was?e of time and the obstruction to public business caused by the inordinate pressure for place, and of Incumbents against intrigue and wrong. I shall at the proper time ask Congress to fix the term of the minor offices of the several executive depart ments, acd prescribe the grounds upon which incumbents shall be appointed.” How good the distinction is which would make the major offices a prey to “intrigue acd wrong” and shield the minor officials from like havoc, and whether the Collectorships of the country should belong to the exposed or to the protected class, need not be decided here. Assum'ng General Merritt to be an officer of average fitness acd honesty, it might be reasonably argued that all the Senators should with alacrity advise his displace ment by a man of obvious superiority. Pos sibly it might be said that all should advise the selection in General Merritt’s place of a man who, without superior fitness, had rendered his country or even his party conspicuous and exalted service. The case in hand does not belong to either of these two classes. The voca tion of Mr. Robertson, his legislative and professional experiences and surroundings, do not denote his superiority in the quali ties, the knowledge, the business habits and the familiarity with the revenue laws and system of the United States which might unke him more competent thaai General Merritt to collect the va6t revenues and administer the vast business pertaining to the port of New York. Certainly he can not in this respect be held an exception to the rules of right and consistency on which the Constitution and laws have placed the public service. We know of no personal or political service rendered by Mr. Robertson so transcendant that the Collectorship of New York should be taken in the midst, of a term and given to him ss a recompense. Mr. Robertson is reported by the New Tork Tribune to have declared that Lis nomination was “reward,” a “reward” for his action as a delegate to the National Con vention. If Mr. Robertson in his action was influenced by his sense of duty, if he voted and acted his honest convictions, it is difficult to see what claim he has for any reward, not to speak of such a great reward. He and sixty-nine other men accepted from a State convention a certain trust. They sought and accepted the position or agents or delegates to the National Convention. The S ate Convention declared Its plainly stated judgment and the policy to be observed, and to this declaration all the selected delegates gave their implied consent. But several of them, in addition, made the most specific personal pledges and engagements to exert them selves in good faith throughout to secure the nomination of General Grant. They made this pledge as the means of obtaining their own appointment as dele gates, and they did. as we both personally know, obtain their seats in the National Convention upon the faith of their personal statements of their earnestness and fidelity. The obligation thus assumed is understood to involve the integrity and obligation of one who receives the proxy of a stockholder In a corporation on a pledge and promise to vote as his principal would vote. Whether Mr. Robertson was or was not himself bound, not only by honor and implication, but by expressly giving his word, becomes quite immaterial In view of the claims made for him. It Is insisted that he organized the vote, or, as it ha 6 been sometimes stated, he was the leader of the vote. This is to say that he invited, persuaded or induced others, whom he knew had given their word and obtained their seat by doing so, to violate their word and betray not only tbe Republicans assembled in the S’ate Convention but tbe Republic ins of their district as well, who had trusted in their honor. Whoever counsels aDd procures another to do a dis honest or dishonorable act must share with that other the gulp, and should share the odium justly attaching to it. We are there fore wholly unable, upon whatever ground we put it, to see any justification for ourselves should we become parties to using the public trusts, which belong to tbe people, to requite sucb service in such modes. But the Appliances employed to effect these results set up new standards of responsibility, and invade, as we believe, the truths and principles rn which the separate and co-ordinate branches of the government stand. A Senator has his own respon sibility. He is amenable to his S’ate and to ihe body of which he is member. Ho is bound by his oath to “advise and consent!’ on hfs conscience and judgment before God, whatever or whoever else may constrain him. He is to be exempt from executive menace or dis favor on the one hand or executive favor on the other. Long standing on the orders of the House of Commons has been adecla ration that a member shall suffer expulsion who eyen rppo -ts the wishes of the execu tive head of the government, to influence tbe votes of members. The British consti tution is not more Jealous than r urs in this regard. To give advice, and honest, inde pendent advice as to an appointment pro posed, is as much the right and duty of a Senator as it is the right or duty of the Pres'dent to propose the Rquie. Be bis advice one way or the other, it is no more an act of disrespect or treason to the nominating power than the verdict of a juror or the decision of a Judge. [dea that the fjenaie [s slrapiy tb find out what is und tfies do It, we cannot believe safe or admissible, and thus farj no party has dared or descended to set up such a test of party fidelity or allegiance. In this lnetarce such prominence has been given to the subject and such distrust has been expressed of the correctness of our posi tions, that we think it right and dutiful to submit the matter to the power to which we aje a tone bound and ever ready to bow. The Legislature Is in session. It is Repub llcan'in majority, and New York abounds in sons quite as able as we to bear her mes sage and commission In the Senate of the United States. With a profound sense of tbe obligation we owe, we, with devotion to the Republi can party apd Its creed of liberty and rfght, with reverent attachment to the great State whose Interest and honor are dear to us, we hold it respectful and becoming to make room for those who may correct ail errors we have made and interpret aright all duties we have misconceived. We therefore enclose our resignations, but hold fast the privilege, as citizens and Republicans, to stand for tbe constitutional rights of all men and of all representatives, whether of States, nation or people.

SIXTEEN MILLIONS TO BE SPENT Colonel Cole’s Latest Move—Several Southern Railroads to be Worked Conjointly—The Macon and Brans* wick, Memphis and Charleston and East Tennessee and Virginia System Among the Number. New York, May 16.—Colonel E. W. Cole, of Tennessee, formed iu New York to day probably the largest syndicate ever formed in this country for the purchase of railroad Interests. The scheme embraces the estab lishment of a comprehensive system from the Northwest and Southwest to the Atlantic coast by the purchase of existing lines and the building of new ones. Purchases have already been concluded of the Macon and Bran wick Road, of Georgia; the Eist, Tennessee and Virginia system of roads, embracing 619 miles; the Sr-Ima, Route and Dalton and the Memphis and Charleston Roads, covering in all about 1,300 miles. Contracts for building of sev eral hundred miles will at once be let, and the various systems connected. The syndi cate has subscribed $16,000,000 of capital. Among the well known capitalists who are named in the syndicate are George F. Senev, Samuel Thomas, Calvin Brice, E. H. R. Lyman and John T. Martin. Col. Cole will be made President of the whole system of roads and will have charge of extensions by purchase and building. His purpose Is not to build up one part at the expense of others, a3 his system will feed almost every port on the South Atlantic coast, as well as Norfolk, by the new Norfolk and Western line bv natural currents of trade, but simply to continue his conservative system of general development without antago nizing special interests. It is understood that the syndicate is willing to take one fifth of the stock of the Eest Tennessee and West Virginia Road yet unpurchased at the price paid for the other four fifths if the holders desire it. CONKLING AND PLATT. Views of the Press and Politicians on Their Resignations, New York, May 16.—The Evening Toit says ot the resignation of Senators Conk ling and Platt: “To-day for the first time since the organization of the government the State of New York is without represen tation in the Senate of the United States. The first comment on this proceeding is that it is a genuine surprise. If the report was less circumstantial It might be a very ingenious invention of some practical humorist In Washington. Until the Sena tors shall vouchsafe an explanation of their course there ia wide room for conjecture as to its meaning. It is hard to conceive of any theory consistent with dignity and manlinass, which are the most obvious qualifications of their high office. If they are seeking an indorsement of their conduct by means of re-election, tbe experi ment is a dangerous one to make with a Legislature which a little while ago unani mously approved the nomination of Robert son.” The Express says: ‘This double resignation fills the city with excitement, and specula tion Is rife. Tbß Senators refuse to talk. They evidently feel deeply. It has precipitated a crisis. Conk ling and P.att of course appealed to the Legislature of New York, whose ‘pri macy’ they have maintained. Can they be re-elected?? Some ot their friends say ‘ve:-,’ emphatically; others hang their beads. The administration men say ‘no,’ but are evidently doubtful and shaking in their shoes. audacity in refusing to be crushed in the coils of the administration anaconda, leaping into the arena and seizing fate by tbe foretop,awak ens admiration. The odds are against him. What, if the Legislature should elect Depew and Curtis to the two vacant places?” Collector Merritt was found in his office at the custom house, and being asked to give his opinion of the resignations of Messrs. Conkling and Piatt, said: “The resignations are a great surprise to me, and I suppose to every one else.” He was anxious to know the opinions expressed on the street. Surrogate Calvin, on being questioned, said “I think it an undignified aud puerile action, which kills the future political life of those gentlemen. I base my opinion on a similar transaction years ago in the Demo cratic party. I think their action emanates from disappointment at their failure to tres pass on the executive prerogatives.” O her Judges were seen, but refused to express an opinion, as they had not heard that the report was confirmed. The gen eral opinion prevailing is that for whatever cause the Senators resigned they would both be re-elected to the Senate. Baltimore, May 16 —Commenting on the action of the New York Senators, the American to morrow will say; “If It should appear that Mr. Conkling has really imper illed his return to the Senate by the Legis lature which has already indor.gd Judge Robertson, he will receive credit for a Quixotic proceeding out ot which no possib'e advantage can inure to him. If on the other hand, f.s seems more than probable, Mr. Conkling has simply set up an Albany man of straw to replace his Washington man of straw that the President bowled down long ago, he would be laughed at without the exeusp of Q itxoticiam, and ha will justify the conclusion that there are more angry boys at the capitol than can be found in the White House or tbe Cabinet.” Tne Gazette will say i “The resignation ot Senators Conkling acd Piatt is a direct appeal by those Senate s to the Republican Legislature of the State of New York from the action of President Garfield in tbe mat ter of the appointment of Judge Robert son The Sun will say: “Whatever deliberate purpose may underlie the action of Messrs. Conkling and Platt, it may be safely assumed that it hgs reference solely to the gamp of politics which the former is just noty engaged ip playing. It is simply one move move upon the political chess board. It is intended as a ‘check’ to the President. Whether it will prove a'checkmate’ remains to be seen, and it may well be doubted. As an exhi bition of mere pique and temper the move would be simply childish, and would rather detract from than add to Mr. Conkling’s reputation for political sa gacity and ability. He has good reason, indeed, to apprehend, lest the country at large? the great mass of plain, sensible people, may take this view, and see noth ing more in it than an undignified explosion of personal anger and disgust,’.’ NOTES Flioi AUG Suicide Qf a South Carolina Phyl clan- preparing for the Centennial of Fort Galptn—Death of Chas 8.

Jacksonville, Fla,, May 14. —A glance over the acts and resolutions adopted during the late session of the Legislature, enables me to make the following summary of the work that was accomplished. The volume contains one hundred and ninety four acts, ten resolutions and twenty-eight me morials. Of the acts, twelve relate to the incorpora tion of as many new railroad companies, and two to the construction of canals. Thirty-one come in under the head of relief bills, and twelve restore difierent individuals to the right of citizenship, forfeited for thecommis sion of various offenses. Only eight of the memorials to Congress specify the sums of money required to carry into effect the improvements contemplated. These aggregate the amount of four hundred and twenty-five thousand dc liars. Of course the remainder are entrusted to the generosity of the National L gislature. It is to be hoped that that body will be sufficiently liberal to have some of the many two-inch creeks rendered navigable for the passage of three iuch catfish, and that the piscatory propensi ties of some of the sovereigns of Florida may be gratified. But seriously, the introduction of these me morials has become a fashion that should be “more honored in the breach than in the ob servance.” They consume time, create ridi cule. and accomplish no good whatever. A committee should be appointed early in each session, to whom all such matters should be referred, with secret instructions to consign the great bulk of such papers to the waste basket. At the same time, it is necessary to pay some deference to the demands of bun combe. Judge J. M. Baker, of the Fourth Judicial Circuit, is winning golden opinions. The court for this county is now in session, and it is very gratifying to see the celerity with which busi ness is transacted under the new regime. Ihe grand jury, for instance, adjourned after sit ting only ten days, a circumstance that has not occurred for several years previously. Judge Baker firmly, yet courteously, refuses to per mit tedious arguments upon points long set tled, and nips much windy eloquence, as well gratuitous di-plays of dull erudition His stvle of m anagement is decidedly acceptable to the tax payers. It is said that several thousands of dollars will be saved to the county this year in the shape of court expenses. About twenty South Carolina editors paid our State a flying visit last week. They were necessarily too much hurried to make more than a hasty examination, and like the great majority of tourists, confined themselves to an inspection of tbe t-t. John’s river. Theopinions formed were generally favorable, and their impressions, pro and con, will doubtless be given to their readers. It is to be regretted that sufficient notice had not been given of their intended visit, to enable our citizens to have given them more attention. It was a hop, skip and a jump with them from the mo ment of their arrival to their departure. If they chem have realized a comfortable independence. During the coming fall a large number ot Ita ians is expected who will be located upon the estate of the Duk de Castel luccia. Thus it will be seen that Florida is se curing some fragments from the immerse flood of immi. ration now flowing so steadily towards this country. Just so soon as her great natural advattnges are thoroughly un derstood, a large portion of the tide will be di verted in this irection. Mr. Dave Wilson, a gentleman and fa vorably known thro jghout the State, who has just returned from an extended trip up the river, infoims me that he has encountered in the course of hfs travels numerous parties from Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, and Ken tucky, who bad just purchased lands, or who were in search of suitable locations. He states that the movements in real estate are frequent and heavy, especially in Orange and Voiusia counties, and that the people were elated over their cheerful prospects. Just here it is as well to correct the preva lent error that the valley of the St. John’s Is filling up altogether with Northern settlers. This is a mistake. While the local papers trumpet the purchase of an orange grove by a wealthy man from the North, at ten, twenty or forry thousand dollars, aa the case may be, they do not note the constant arrivals of men from the surrounding Southern Stares, who buy their forty acres, or more, of public lands and soon coi vert the wilderness into a smiling farm. Neither do the journals notice the con stant additions made to the population by those who come into the State bringing their families and household effects in carts and wagons. If ths number of these bumble immigrants coqld be ascertained, tbe amount would be surprising. This is the class who be come permanent citizens, and who ondqre all the labor and privations of pioneer life—who build churches, erect school h msea and turn the waste places into gardens. While we heartiiy welcome the rich Northern man, who conies among us with his progressive ideas, and evho is doing so much for ihe advancement of our State, let us not forget to do honor to his poorer Southern brother, who, in a lowlier sphere and with limited means, ii yet also playing his part manfully. All are welcome—come they from the North, South. East. West or foreign countries! Our lauds are rich, broad arid capacious enough to give homes and employmont to millions. Not only will they find here relief from physical ailments, but also for attenuated purses. While thousands have hem enabled here to take a fresh lease upon exi-drao-, and again to exult in the consciousness of restored health and vjgor, there are other thousands who have found here the long sought El Dorado, and who have joyfully ejected the grim, gaunt skeleton. Poverty, from their family closets. What has been done in the past can he re peated in the future. Colossal fortunes are cot to be made or lost here jr. a few hours, as in the Stock Ex change on Wall street, but the opportunities for acquiring competence and indenendence are within the reach of all who come here with industry and energy. There never was a better time to come than the present. All portions of the Bate are vigor ously pressing forward works of internal im provement, and v ill soon be linked together in a chain of common interest and sympathy I “P regress x* is the watch ward of the hour, i and Fortune holds out many tempting rewards for the industrious, ambitious and enterpris iog. Although the soil of Florida is sandy, her i proapenty u based upon the solid bed rock of I aotual worth ana value, and her pledges to pay all Investments made by mind, muscle and money will b amply redeemed. Observation and experience are every day shedding a broad glare of light upon the in ducements and advantages or Florida, and the result of this spread Of Knowledge Is seen In the inyrfcftsed public atten ion directed to the State, as well as in her steady ar,i rapid growth in wealth, importin' v and population. a. company has been' organises under the charter granted At the late session of the Legis lature, for the construction of a railroad be tween Palatka and river, and It lg to be hoped that" tk\'ey will k >on commence opera tes. This iew link is Intended toconnect the douri.hing town of Palatka with the settlement Known as Aurantia, connecting also with Mos quito Lagoon. This project enlisted tbe pow erful assistance and ceaseless attention of Senator W. H Sharpe, representing tbe Twen ty-first district, eompc„eao Brevard and Dade counties. T*ara was considerate opposi tion vo tne hill on the part of some of the Senators, but these objections were met and refuted in a masterly manner by Mr. Sharpe who sustained his position with ability and eloquence. Mr. Sharpens f-->;y ad justly en titled to the gratitude and respect of his con stituents f_r tne constant vigilance with which e guarded their interests. Always at his post alert, and industrious, he made 63 admirable legislator, and won fhe cpniai eateeta and re spect of his associate? in the Senate. Brevard and D.vde have f *cellent reason t o be proud of W 0 worthy'and unassuming gentleman who represents them at Tallahassee. Commas oner of Immigration A. A. Robin son has issued a circular to leading men in each county announcing his intention of pre panng another pamphlet for distribution, and soliciting their co-operation m organizing county immigrate societies- In this way he hopes se-sore their sympathy in the move meat ahtt to obtain a large mass of valuable and accurate information. The plan that he suggests is eminently practical, and if carried out generally and intelligently, would result in the compilation of oiX ‘of great merit and reliability. aiach county should at once take hold of this matter, and through a committee of competent men prepare a chanter tor the proposed pamphlet, setting iorth tui peculiar advantages of the,* reapectfve flections, rrioe of undy school and church facilities, means of transportation, productions, etc seventy-five rboags wJI be added to the ac commodations of the Bt.

The projected improvements will render this floe building not only the most spacious, but also the most elegant and comfortable hotel in Florida. Its rivals must also enter the lieu or be outstripped in this bid for popular favor The surveying parity attached to the Okee chobee Drainage Company are now running a series of levels from that lake to St. Lucie on the Atlantic. The gigantic, yet feasible pro- ESTABLISHED 1850. ject seems to have excited unusual interest over the entire country, and has been very generally discussed by the papers. As soon as a complete organization of tne company has been effected it is expected that the great work will be commenced. The United States District Court will recon vene on Monday. No jury cases will be tried, all of the indictments for violation of the election laws having been postponed to the fall term. District Attorney stickney has been removed from the anxious bes ch, and as he has at last, after many weary trials of the flesh, been con firmed by the Senate, doubtless now enjoys the repos* of the righteous. Bishop Young, of the Diocese of Florida, stated in his address to the council that twen ty new churches of handsome architectural design had been constructed within the last two years, and'hat tbs growth of the church had nearly trebled the proportion which it bore to the population ten years ago. The hot weather has directed the thoughts of several of our citizens to Mar port, a water ing place at the mouth of the river, and a con siderable exodus may be expected towards that point shortly. W. H. B. Tbe Tunisian Treaty. London, May 16—The Times' Tunis cor respondent says: “The treaty provides for a war indemnity, French protection and sur veillance of the’ frontier and coast of Tunis by the occupation of places thereon. The French and Tunisian Governments will ar range for the payment of the public debt, the International Commission being super seded. France engages to protect Tunis against all foreign powers. The French Embassadors and Consuls will represent Tunis abroad. Some of the other conditions have already been made public. The Times' Paris correspondent confirms the above sketch of the treaty, adding that it provides that French occupation will cease when the Bey has shown that he can ensure the security of his frontier. COMING TO AMERICA. A Contract Made to Brins 80,000 Scandinavians Across the Atlantic this Summer. New York World. A few days ago a cable dispatch was received in this city stating that the owners of a steamship line in Hull, England, had contracted with parties in Norway and Sweden to bring about eighty thousand emigrants from those countries to the United States. Mr. Christian Bors, the Norwegian and Swedish Consul, said yesterday that such a contract had been made with the owners of the Wilson line of steamers. The emigration from the countries he represents to the farming lands of tbe West is rapidly developing, and the ap plications for transportation during the winter months were so great that a con tract with one company became neces sary. The Wilson line offered the greatest advantages, having a fleet of ves; sels, running between Hull and the principal ports in Norway and Sweden, besides having a mutual agreement with all the transatlantic steamship compa nies. It proposes to carry the emigrants to Hull and then send them by train to Liverpool, where they will be transferred to steamers for New York. Mr. Sander son, the agent of the Wilson line, said that the emigration from Norway and Sweden duiing this summer and fali will probably exceed the number contracted for, as a knowledge of the vastness and wealth of this country has become fa miliar to them during the past few years." The emigrants will be received on the company’s steamers at the ports of Chris tiana and Bergen in Norway and at Go 5 tenburg in Sweden. After their arrival at Hull they will be assigned to different steamers belonging to the National, In man, White Star and Cunard lines, which sail from Liverpool. He did not know whether the contract was to take the emigrants beyond New York. When one reads in a poem of angels who “carol blive,” one is apt to think that the author is Mr. Lewis Carroll, with whom delighted readers have passed so many “frabjous days” in that “tulerev wood,” where the jabberwock burble's and the momeratbs outgrabe. But, no! The author is Mr. R. Montgomerie Rank ing, who, in his volume, Fulgencius,” not only makes aDgels carol blive, but introduces us to “tom-tits in the pery,” “sun-drakes,” and women with “plum blue hair gold coifed about a thrapple.” Mr. Ranking is, it is perhaps needless to say, “utter.” Nothing Is too good for our baby—no, not even Cutlcura Soap.

SINCE the introduction of this Spool Cotton into the American market, its success has been unprecedented. No other braudof thread has ever met with the same amount of public favor in the same space of time. The “O. N. T.” manufacturers were the first to recognize the importance of the Sewing Ma chine and to make a six-cord cotton, which has ever since been the recognized standard for machines. All the improvements in machinery that the Inventive genius of the nineteenth century has produced have been adapted by the manufac turers of “O. N. T.” At all the great International Fairs of tho world, “O. N. T.’’ has been awarded the highest honors. The “O. N. T. factories at Newark, N.

Captain Waller is a fine scholar and genial, clever gentleman, and during his residence in Sivannah bad made hosts cf warm friends, who will hear of his resigna tion and rtmovai from the city with sincere regret, akia to that which is felt by those in this office who have been so intimately connected with him.

In returning to hts former field of labor, civil engineering, he will have the sic cere wishes of legions of friends for his future sucsess, prosperity and advance ment. Having Filthy Yards.

The Coroner held an Inquest on the body of a Portuguese sail or, Joseph Benefance, who was injured by failing from the mast of a vessel at Doboy and who was brought to this city. On the way to the hospital he died in a street wagon. The accident not having occurred in this county the Coroner was of opinion that the expense of the inquest should not be charg ed to the county aud he brought the matter therefore to the attention of the Commis sioners. After consultation the Board decided that tbe expense should be charged to the vessel, and should be paid by the captain or the Portuguese Consul. Notice to Bather* at Tybee. Deputy Sheriff George H. Mulligan, sta tioned at Tybee, on Bunday afternoon ar rested three parties who were disporting in the surf parts naturabbiut. They had selected a portion of the beach where they imagined they were sheltered, but were mistaken, as groups of promena ders were passtog to and fro. Two of the parties were strargers, and the other a citizen, and all were ignorant of the fact that it was against the regulations to go into the surf in the vicinity of the hotel without a suit, and were con sequently released with an admonition. Notices are to be posted in conspicuous places, however, setting forth this regula tion, and hereafter all parties caught bath ing contrary to tbe same will be arrested and dealt with according to law. River Dredging* Messrs. Dickerson Paulsen have their dredge engaged in deepening the front of what is known as the coal wharf, acrosa the river. This wharf is the property of the Tugboat Company, and where the tugs are generally moored. Coal vessels also frequently go there to discharge their cargoes, and occasionally vessels to load lumber. Tbe intention is to deepen the front sufficiently to give twelve feet of water at low tide, thus enabling the tugs to leave the wharf at any stage of the tide with ves sels in tow and prevent them from ground ing when discharging their cargoes or load ing.

Preliminary Movement-Encourag ing Prospects. A meeting of a number of prominent citi zens and capitalists was held yesterday morning at 12 o’clock, In the Mayor’s efflee, at tbe Exchange, to consider tbe feasibility of organizing a stock company for the pur pose of building anew first class hotel in this city. Among those present were several well known enterprising merchants and business men, and the pro ject was discussed with much favor. The opinion, we understand, was unani mous that a large, first class hotel, with all tbe modern improvements, was one of the greatest needs of Savannah, and that measures should be taken to have such a building erected and ready for the reception of guests at the commencement of the next season. That it would prove a paying Investment there scarcely seems to be a doubt, and another advantage would be the retalnicg here of a large por tion of the Northern travel. Hundreds of strangers, persons of large means, who have been in Savannah daring the winter and spring, have expressed a desire to remain here provided they could obtain such accommodations as they were willing to pay for. There is no complaint with our present hotels, but they have cot the ac commodations necessary, and a first class hotel, superior to the fine hotels in imperatively neces sary, if we would have Savannah proper inducements to strangers to tarry in our midst. No definite action was taken at tbe meeting, but a thorough discussion of the project was had, and tbe initial move having oeen made, it i3 believed that the plans for the organization of a s*ock com pany will readily be perfected. It is pro posed, if possible, to obtain subscrip tions to the amount of 9350,000, as the capital stock o! the company which will be amply sufficient to erect and furnish a handsome hotel. Another meet ing will shortly be held, and will doubtless be followed by a public meeting, the purpose being to interest the community in the enterprise. We are glad to see this movement, so fre quently urged in the Mokning News, started, and hope it will, through the energy and enterprise of our citizens, be carried out successfully. SERIOUS AFFRAY IN BRYAN. One Negro Killed and Another Se riously Wounded. We learn from parties who arrived here yesterday morning that a very serious affray occurred last Saturday night at Ellis’ store, Bryan county, about six miles from King’s bridge and some ten miles from No. 2 on the Central Railroad. A large crowd of negroes were gathered about the store, who had been drinking and carousing during the evening, and as usual in such as semblages, a dispute arose, which resulted in a savage quarrel between several of the negroes. Hnives and other weapons were drawn, and one of the ne groes, in the parlance of the crowd, just "turned himself loose,” and cut and slash ed around indiscriminately with an ugly looking knife. One of the negroes received a cut in the abdomen, which produced death in a few minutes, and another was very severely and danger ously wouuded. The negro who did the cutting managed to escape, and had not been arrested up to last accounts, although a constable armed with a warrant was on his track. Our informant did not ascertain the names of any of the parties engaged In the fracas. Deserved Puulsbiueat. It will be remembered that a few days since we recorded the exploits of John Andrews, a negro, on board the steamer returning from Beaufort with a col ored excursion party. John is the Individual who several months ago was on trial for killing Alfred Shellman, colored, but who was acquitted by a petit jury in the Superior Court. It would seem, however, that he is a bad man, and not withstanding the narrow escape from the gallows or the pec: tiary, he went on board the excursion reamer,primed himself on mean whisky, an 1 indulged his belligerent propensities to their full bent. He was arraigned in the City Court yester day afternoon to answer three charges of assault and battery, and was convicted in each, the evidence being conclusive. The Judge fined him twenty five dollars or thirty days in each case, with costs, and being mitus the requisite cisb, John will be enlisted for ninety days in the Cuvier swamp brigade and be made to do good service. His punishment under the circum stances is deserved.

Stealing from Stores—Sneak Thieves About. The sneak thieves, whose name is legion, are putting in their work pretty lively now, and, unfortunately, many of them escape. Occasionally, however, some are caught at their little games, and are jugged. Yester day afternoon, about half-past two o’clock, Joseph Sullivan was captured by Policeman Langbeil. Joseph had seized a bolt of goods in front of the store of Messrs. Lilienthal A Kohn, and was about making off when he was nabbed, and the prospects are that his next trip will be to Cuyler swamp to join the boys in plaid suits. Shortly after seven o’clock last night Po liceman Couniban detected a colored indi vidual, rejoicing in the prominent cognomen of Andrew Johnson, helping htmself to some sacks at the store of Messrs. J. W. Schley Cos., on on the Bay. Andrew’s name did not 6ave him from being grabbed and marched ignomin iously to the barracks, and to day he will be turned over to the consideration of a higher court. Lost Overboard and Drowned. On the up trip of the steamer Carrie to Au gusta a colored deck hand, when in the vi cinity of Hudson ferry, fell overboard and was drowned. We are informed that he was leaning against a fender at the time and, losing his balance, pitched head fore most into the river. The steamer was im mediately stopped and the yawl boat low ered, for the purpose of going to his assistance. The man was a good swim mer and managed to keep his head above water for some time, but just as the yawl boat approached him he was heard to scream, and suddenly sank, and was not again seen. On tbe down trip of the steamer, when the locality was neared, the crew,who were on the watch, discovered the body of the unfortunate man in the middle of the river, resting on the branch of a sunken tree, turned upwards. The body was very much decomposed, but was taken posses sion of, wrapped m canvas, and carried to the Carolina shore, where it was decently interred and a foot and head board placed at the grave to mark the place of burial. The Anglo-American Nation—The True Theory ot Our Governmental System. We have received a copy of a pamphlet with the above title written by Col. James Atkins, of this city. The grriter, in a well written and Ingeniously constructed argument, takes the advanced ground that this republic is a nation with a big N, the people of which are its one, only lawful sovereign, the only expression of the will of which sovereign is to be found in the Constitution and that alone. Col. Atkins claims that his argument Is a concise presentation of what is held to be the true theory of our govern mental system, and the only one consistent with the'Constitution of the United States; he starts out with the assertion that the United States is truly a nation, and is under the absolute domination of a single sovereign, and pro ceeds at length to elaborate his points. The pamphlet Is worthy of perusal, and will prove interesting to many. It may be had at Wylly& Clark’s bookstore. Parade of Colored Odd Fellow*. Yesterday afternoon Myrtle Lodge No. 1663, G. U. O. of O. F., accompanied by the Savannah Volunteer Guards Band, made a parade through the principal streets, in honor of their sixth anniversary, and presented a very creditable appearance. There were visiting delegations from Atlanta, Macon, Charleston and Brunswick, all well dressed and respectable looking colored men, and the turn out was one of the best among the colored population that has been seen in some time. Last night the visitors were entertained at a banquet given by Myrtle Lodge at Mozart Hall, and to day there will be an excursion to Montgomery on the Sa vannah, Bkldaway and Seaboard Railroad. Previous to the banquet an oration was delivered by James A. Sykes on Odd Fellow ship, followed by singing by the Samuel B. Morse Club. The hall was crowded, and the evening was passed very enjoyably and satisfactorily to all concerned. Antidote to Malaria.

Th Session of the Supreme Lodge— Tbe Condition of the Order. The Supreme Lodge of the Knights of Honor of United States held their eighth annual session at Minneapolis, Minnesota, on the 10th inst. It will be re membered that when the Grand Lodge of Georgia met in Savannah on the 20th of April, Past Grand Dictator R. J. Powell, of Barnesvllle, was elected for the long term, Past Grand Dictator Sam uel H. Shepard being the other representa tive. Both these gentlemen were in attend ance at the session and looked carefully after the interests of the Bute. For the information of the members of the order in Savannah and other portions of the State, we make the following extracts from the reports of the Supreme officers. Tbe report of the Supreme Dictator was thorough and complete. In It he stated the following: “During the year ending April 30, 1881, there had been thirteen assessments on each member. There were Bix hundred and seventy-eight orders drawn on the widows’ and orphans’ benefit fund, amount ing to 91,351,000, and one hundred and fifty orders on the general fund, amounting to 938.074 St. December 26, 1880, assess ment No. 78 was made, and $114,973 re ceived, showing a membership of 102,000. From that time to Aoril 26, 1881, the gain has been about 2,500 new members per mnnth, and the total membership to-day Is 117,000.” From the report of the Supreme Reporter, J. C. Plumer, we learn the following con cerning the financial condition of the order for the yetr: "General fund, cash on hand May Ist, 1880, 914,401 27; cash received during the year, $50,111 96; total received and on hand, 984,- 516 33; diawn on same, 937,822 95 leaving a balance on hand May Ist, 1881, $26,393 38; resources, $33,891 80; liabilities, 92,203 33; leaving net resources of 931,689 47. “Widows and orphans benefit fund, total cash on band and received, $1,354 389 14, with disbursements of $1,351,000, leaving a balance in the treasury May 1, of $3,389 14. During the year the expenses for all matters outside of benefits were $28,932. The total number of working lodges May 1, 1881, was $2,302, and the net gain of membership during the year was 22 643. Total membership December 1,1880, 98,987; German membership, 6 301; Eaglish mem bership, 92 686. Total number of deaths in German working lodges 239, making one death to every 22 36 of their number; total nu mber of deaths in Eeglish working lodges 1,625, making one death to every 57.03 of their number. "The total receipts from ail sources from December 6, 1880, to April 10, 1881, inclu sire, were $37,495 37; total disbursements, $20,49517, leaving a balance of $17,000 20.” Tlie Fire on tbe Bark Isabel Cragg*. An account appeared in the columns of the News of yesterday of a fire on board the bark Isabel Craggs, at Charleston, on Saturday morning. The News and Courier of yesterday gives this additional infor mation "The vessel is very slightly damaged and the cargo will probably be discharged to morrow. The amoua: of cotton found to have been stowed away in the vessel is 1,861 bales, 14 bales of which were sea islands. Of this amount Messrs. D. Mc- Pherson Cos. shipped 1,369 bales; Doughty Bros. Cos., of Augusta, 200 Street Bros 108; Gourain, Mat’hiessen Cos., 100 bales ot uplaud and 14 bags sea islands; A. Norden Cos., 70 bales. Lesesne Wells did not have any cot’on on hoard. The cotton shipped by McPherson Cos. is in sured in English companies, and the other cotton is insured in French and English companies. The total insurance on the co’.ton is about $70,000. The owners of the vessel are U. Craggs Bons, of Middles town, England, and the bark is valued at £IO,OOO Can’t Re Wiped Out. The Columbus Timet, referring to the con tradiction in the Savannah Mobbing News of the statement made by Colonel Elliott, as spokesman of a delegation from Beaufort, 8. C., to the President, that the duties col lected at Beaufort amounted to more than those collected at Savannah and Charleston combined says "The News shows that the duties collect ed at Savannah alone are over three times as much as the amount collected at B3au forf, and that the Beaufort receipts would be exceeded nearly as much by those of Charleston ss they are by those of Savan tah. We thought when wc saw these statements attributed to the Beaufort dele gation that they had been misunderstood, for we he.d no idea that it was correct. Beaufort is a very nice little town, and In the age of rice growing in South Carolina it was a thrifty town, and may possibly be so still, but it must not expect to wipe Savannah off the map of the Atlantic coast. That won’t do.” Cbtll* and Fever—Malaria.
