Slje Charlotte bscroer. CHlSi R. JONES, Editor and Proprieior "Fre from the doting xcruple that fetter (rtir free-born reason." SATURDAY, MARCH 22, 1879. There is something touchingly sub lime in the child-like confidence of the Republicans of eprgia wh-o,; itis,said, contemplate a re-organization of the party in that Statei Our State taxes this year will be lighter than they were last. The lejvies this year will aggregate for all purposes on the poll 97 cents, on property 324 cents, as against 114 on poll and 38 on property for the last two years. After all the work of the political economists; after all the plans which have been devised by the States, coun ties and municipal organizations, the city of Charlotte is the first to find a solution of the tramp problem. .Fine them $30! The California papers assert tliat the trouble with the Alaska Indians f grew out of the free introduction of whiskey. The Russians never had any trouble with the Indians, but then they had no peace commissioners and no post tra ders. Tennessee's Debt. The Tennessee Legislature will adjourn on the 31st inst., and still no provision has been made for the compromise or, payment of the State debt. The papers intimate that there has been some degree of crookedness in manipulation of Ten nessee bonds, and that certain promi nent persons will probably find them selves smirched when full report is made. The Cameron-Oliver Case. A sweet mess is this trial of ex-Senator Simon Cameron for trifling with the affections of the Widow Oliver. The trial is now in progress in AVashington, and if there is any difference between it and the Beecher-Tilton trial, the odds are in favor of the latter. The widow's testimony against Simon is just about as obscene as anything that the strongest-stomached newspaper has ever made up its mind to print. A Proposed New State. AVe see it stated in the newspapers "that it is proposed to form the State of '3ast Tennessee' but of thirty counties east of the Cumberland Mountains, in Ten nessee, then one or two counties are to be borrowed from Kentucky and four from North Carolina and two from Georgia." North Carolina could and would with great sincerity say of such of her west ern counties as might be wanted for this new State, "Let the wayward sisters go in peace." AVe could spare them yea, verily, we could. The Tilden Movement Booming The recent sudden and exciting changes in certain of the State officers in New York city are claimed to be the work of Mr. Tilden, and one-account says that "this coup d'etat, coupled with the success of Randall at AVashington, fills the air with predictions of Tilden's nomination in 1880." Further, it is said that New York politicians on all sides declare that, by the middle of next month, Tilden will be in control of Tammany Hall itself, and therefore master of the whole Democratic party of the State. The South and the Presidency. The Savannah News does nottegard Mr Tilden as the strongest candidate the Democracy could put forward for the presidency, but says, if he is nominated, "the South will accord him once more an undivided support." Which is all very true, the South having seen that her only salvation is in the supremacy of Democratic principles. The thing said of Mr. Tilden might with perfect truth be said of any other true Demo crat: that if nominated he will com mand the undivided support of this sec tion. PERIODICALS. Scribners for April has arrived, and its pages present a most delightful treat. It is so beautiful a specimen of the typhographical art, and the illustra tions which ornament it are always so apt and so handsomely executed that the reader is drawn toward it at first glance; a perusal of its pages but in creases the high opinion formed at first sight, and the better one knjows it the fonder one becomes of it. AVe cannot undertake here to give a list of the con tents of the current number; that is not the purpose we ; only desire to re fer in general terms to the merits of this publication and to tell"-the . reader that he can get it for $4 per.-annum, or a single number for 35 cents by address ing Scribner & Co., New York. St. Nicholas. AVith the above comes St. Nicholas, published by the same firm and conducted by Mary Mapes Dodge. Though young in tears, this excellent and highly ornamented month ly has acquired an unprecedented pop ularity. It is par excelle7ice the "child ren's journal; they cry for it, and from its pages learn much that interests them and is of profit to them. No child but is delighted with it ; and none fiat has ever had it will consent to do without it. Its terms are 25 cents a sin gle number or $3 per annum, and it may be had of Scribner & Co,, New York. Potter's American Monthly is. an il lustrated magazine of history, science, literatur3 and art. It possesses many points of raal excellence aJnd some of its illustrations are very striking and attractive. Its reading matter is well prepared and of a live and interesting character, and there are few hand somer periodicals. John Potter & Co, of Philadelphia, are the publishers, and the terms of subscription are 83 per an num, y Resignation of an Ambassador. Berlin, March 21. The Tabesblatt says it is rumored that Count DeSaint Vallier, French ambassador, has ten dered his resignation in consequence of a difference with Prince B'smarck. CITIES WITH OVEB ; 20,000 ISHiBITillTS. Commenting upon the Federal super visor and marshal law, the New York World has been at the pains to' prepare a table showing the number of cities in the United States which have a popula tion in excess of 20,000. The number is smaller than one would suppose. The immediate purpose of this table is to show that the supervisor and marshal law bears more heavily upon the North than upon the South, since these officers cannot be appointed to control" elections elsewhere than in places of 20,000 in habitants and upwards. As a matter of interest we print this table: NORTHERN STATES. New To 10 Massachusetts 11 Pennsylvania 7 New Jersey 7 Ohio 5 Illinois 3 Indiana. 2 Connecticut 2 Michigan 1 Wisconsin 1 Minnesota 1 Iowa 1 New Hampshire 1 Bhode Island 1 Maine 1 California 1 SOUTHIRN STATES. Delaware 1 Maryland 1 Virginia. 1 South Carolina 1 Georgia 2 Louisiana 1 Alabama 1 Missouri 2 Tennessee 2 Kentucky 2 Total 14 Total 55 Thus it will be seen that A'ermont, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, Colorado and Kansas, of the North and AVest; Arkansas, Texas, North Carolina, Mis sissippi and Florida, of the South, are States in which no appointments of the character indicated, and for the purpose indicated, can be made. These mar shals and supervisors may be appointed in 55 cities of the North while they mav be appointed in but 14 of the South. A circular from the treasury depart ment at AVashinsrton suggests that persons desiring to invest in the four per eent. loan had better do so at an early day, as when the amount of 5-20 six per cent, bonds that have been called under present contracts is fully covered by subscriptions, new and less favorable termsjto purchasers will be adopted for the refunding of the 10-40 five per cents. FOREIGN GLEANINGS. London, March 21. Professor An derson, the celebrated chess player died on the 14th at Breston, Silesia." A conference of the representatives of the German shipping trade was held at Itostock recently. It was uniyer- sally agreed that the shipping trade was more depressed m 18(8 than tor generation. A large number of owners of wooden sailing vessels have an nounced the intention to keep their ships in port this spring. A St. Petersburg dispatch says a wel known countess has been arrested for connection with the Nihilists. The princes and potentates from all parts of Germany are arriving in Berlin to celebrate the Emperor's birth dav. Owing to the Emperor's indispo sition the ceremonial will be reduced to a minimum. Curing a Panic In New Orleans. New Orleans, March 20 To stop a growing panic following the late sus pension of the Southern Bank of New Orleans, the Mechanics' and Traders' Bank and two savings banks, all the other banks, thirteen in number, com posing the Clearing House Association, have agreed to make certification of checks drawn against them on the ba sis of business between themselves and with depositors. Collections for dis tant customers, however, will be re mitted for as heretofore in currency checks on New York. In effect, this action only involves local interests here and has checked the panic, the pretext for which will be entirely removed in a day or two, when currency arrives, which is already ordered from 2s ew York, about notes. The banks held this morning $2,200,000 in legal tender bank and $300,000 sight exchange on New York, exclusive of their port-folios, with which to meet about ten mil lions due depositors. Most of the banks to-day received more currency from depositors than they paid out. ST. LOUIS NOT AFFECTED. St. Louis, March 20 News of the suspension of the banks at New Or leans had comparatively little effect on 'Change here, other than in the South ern provision jobbing trade, which was somewhat depressed owing to a belief that monetary affairs at New Orleans and adjacent towns, which do their business through the New Orleans banks, would be at least temporarily disturbed. The general business of this city and of the banks here will not be effected to any appreciable extent. Intimation of an Impending Crash London. in London, March 21. The Pall Mall Gazette says: "It would be useless to remain silent longer , respecting the uneasy feeling that exists in the city. The names of institutions of high standing have been made free with in a manner to alarm those who easily lose their heads. AVe do not mean to deny that there may be grounds for some uneasiness. Trade generally is notoriously depressed ; but we would remind those who may be discomposed by the rumors now too general to be any longer disregarded, with what facility in the present, temper of the public mind a scare ean be got up. Only two months ago a few people stop ping to talk at the door of one of the greatest London joint stock banks actually caused a run upon it. Another point that should be borne in mind is that disasters that do happen are scarcely ever foreseen. How many persons heard anything to the detriment of the City of Glasgow Bank before it closed doors V One of the Imperial Russian Guard Im prisoned Tor Picking a Lady's Pocket. Beblin, March 21 Col. Easelwitch, of the Imperial Russian Guard, visiting this city, has been sentenced to three month's imprisonment on the charge of picking a lady's pocket. The verdict is generally deemed outrageously un just on the evidence. Colonel Basel witch, who is supposed to have been a victim of conspiring circumstances, has fone to St. Petersburg to lay his case efore the Czar, having been liberated on an appeal, after giving his personal security for 300,000 marks.

Defeat of Republican Propositions m the Senate The Order of Business Not Yet Agreed Upon. AVashington, March 22. Senate. A large number of bills were intro duced, among them one by Beck repeal ing so much ot the revised, statutes as prohibits the appointment to the army of any person engeged in the late rebelr lion. McMillan submitted a joint resolution proposing an amendment to the consti tution of the United States giving the President power to except m his appro val of bills, either items of appropria tions or special legislation, giving his reasons to Congress the items so dis approved by him to be treated as in case of veto. Hoar offered a resolution condemning as unconstitutional and insurrectionary the attempt of one House to make the passage of appropriation bills condi tional on the consent of the other House and the President to provisions they do not approve. AVallace objecting, the reso lution went over. House. Ellis, of Louisiana, offered a resolution increasing the membership of the committee on elections irom n to 19, and stated that he did so in the interest of economy and correctness of the representation, since it frequently happened that owing to press of busi ness that committee was not able to re port on election cases until the last days of the session. Mills, of Texas, thought that every contested election case should go to a special committee. Mr. Wallace called up the resolution before submitted by him, calling upon the secretary of the treasury to furnish a detailed statement of the amounts paid to marshals in New York, Penn sylvania, Ohio, Massachusetts and Mary land, to date, and a description of the service performed by the deputy mar shals at the elections in October and November, 1878. Conkling offered an amendment so as to include the other States. After debate it was rejected. Conkling offered another which was agreed to, covering all the States, but in formation as to New York.Pennsyl vania, Ohio, Massachusetts and Maryland not to be deferred before the additional in formation could be prepared. Edmunds offered an additional reso lution calling upon the secretary fo re port fully all information in his posses sion touching the occasion and necessi ty of such expenditures and provisions of the laws under which they were made. This was rejected. He then of fered his amendment ia a modified form, providing that after the resolu tion as offered by Wallace should be answered, the secretary of the treasury report the information desired. This was rejected. AVallace's resolution as amended by Conkling was agreed to. Booth was appointed a member of the board of regents of the Smithsonian Institution vice ex-Senator Sargant. The Senate went into executive ses sion and aftewards adjourned until Monday. THE HOUSE CAUCUS COMMITTEE. The committee representing the cau cus of the Democrats of the House was in consultation to-day with reference to the manner of conducting business during the present session. No decision was reached, but it was agreed to con fer to-morrow with the Senate Demo cratic caucus committee and report the result thereof to a joint caucus of the Democratic members of each house which will be held the early part of next week. Frye, of Maine, said he desired to apologize for a remark which he had made the other day, namely: That he did not believe in the total depravity of the Democratic party, -the vote upon the Florida case had shown him he was mistaken. fLaughter.l The resolution was finally referred to the committee on rules, lieagan. of Texas, desired- to refer several bills, but Conger, of Michigan, objected. He also objected to the refer ence of a resolution which Young, of Tennessee, desired to offer for the re appointment of the yellow fever com mittee. The House, at 12::0, adjourned until Tuesday. HOUSE BRANCH JOINT CAUCUS COMMIT TEE. 'Representative House, chairman of the Democratic caucus, to-day appoint ed the following committee to confer with the caucus committee of the Sen ate with a view to determining what the order of business shall be during the extra session : Chalmers, of Missis sippi, chairman ; Carlisle, of Kentucky; Cox, of New York; Ewing, of Ohio; Springer, Illinois; Tucker, of Virginia; Atkins, of Tennessee ; Clymer, of Penn sylvania; Reagan, of Texas ; Bicknell, of Indiana; Phelps, of Connecticut.

Disgraceful Proceedings In Hie Senate , The Debt The Jtolndrxtrr ? ; Curtis I'ascv Richmond Va, March 21 In the Senate to-day Senator-Massey, of Albe marle, rose to a question of privilege and proceeded to read a paper severely reflecting on Senator C. T. Smith, of Nelson, for publishing a speech which reflected on Massey. The language of the latter was to the effect that the speech alluded to for unretinement, in delicacy, coarseness, misrepresentations, defamation and vindictiveness, sur passed anything he had even heard in the halls of the Legislature. Proceed ing with similar severe language he was several times called to order. Smith, during Massey's remarks, de nounced the Tatter as a liar, scoundrel and dog. A scene ensued, several pro positions to reprimand the offending Senators and requiring apologies being made, but after the debate the matter was referred to the committee on privi leges and elections to report what ac tion the Senate should take. The House to-day decided to take the vote Monday at 3 p. m. on the passage of the Senate bill providing for the set tlement of the State debt. Two more persons were obtained to day in the Poindexter-Curtis murder trial now progressing in the Hustings Court. Another tales of two hundred was ordered for to-morrow.
