Senator Fowler to the Reseas---A Radical
lie Coppersd.

WAsHINGToN, January 1I.-In the SEN
ate, yesterday, Mr.. Fowler, of Tennessee,
in speaking on the bill to reconstruct Vir-
ginia, refuted what he termed an infa-
nous accusation made against the people
Of Tennessee and the people of the South,
He denied that the SOutherners were the
murderous crew they had been represen-
ted. There had been comparatively less
violence and crime in the South since the
war than In any other section. Instead OF
going to the South with the halter in one
hand and amnesty in the other, as War
ner, of Alabama, had proposed, he pre-
ferred 20 strengthen their sentiments and
principles of civilization, and to dissent
nate the blessings of education. He
then referred to the political condition OF
Tennessee, where the Union had been
trampled under foot and the Republican
party disintegrated. hopelessly lost by
the ambitious schemes of unprincipled
men.

NEW YoRK, January ll.-A special from
Salt Lake says: The celebration of the
laying Of the last rail of the Utah Central
Railroad took place yesterday. Connec-
tion is now complete between Salt Lake
and the Atlantic and Pacific coast. Busi-
ness was suspended, and the day observed
as a holiday everywhere. People from all
parts of the Territory came 10 attend the
celebration. Brigham Young and his
apostles, and the elders Of the church,
saints and sinners, Jews and Gentiles,
participated in the rejoicing. At one
O'Clock train arrived, bringing represen-
tstives Of the Union and Central Pacific
road. Major-aeneFsl Gibbons and the Of
ficers of Camp Douglas were present. Al
two o'clock Brigham Young drove the
last spike Ia the last tie, There was great
cheering, and salutes were fred. Elder
Woodruff then dedicated the railroad to

THE FINANCES.
one Of the finest financial measures to
come from the committee In Congress,
will probably be that for redeeming the
outstanding three per cent. certificates
which at the last statement Of the public
debt, amounted to s45, SIS, 600, more than
four million less than they were when
Congress met. The Secretary of the
Treasury recommended further grant Of
SS5, OO0, 900 national bank circulation IN
their stead, but It does not look as if Con-
gress would be content with this.
There is a strong demand for more
money in the South, and something OF &
demand from the West. This amount
might satisfy those sections, but it makes
no provision for the Pacific coast, where,
as everybody admits, the currency is soon
to take the place Of gold In general busi-
ness. Some persons who have looked into
matters think the South should have
SIS, 900, 900; the West slO,OOO,OO0, and the
Pacific S24, ,OO0, goo. An increase to the
National Banks of the whole amount of
the three per cents would not quite meet
this figure. Money lending men of the
East favor contraction, but the demand
in that direction seems hardly strong
enough to prevail.
Projects for the redistribution of bank
circulation will undoubtedly be intro
duced, but at present the increase appears
more probable than a general redistribu-
ton. OF the bills already presented, half
a dozen provide for free banking, and four
more look TO an increase of circulation in
one form or another. The Banking Com
mittee of the House and the Finance Com
mittee Of the Senate are bath dilatory and
neither has seriously debated any of their
questions, so that it is almost impossible
TO get any safe data on which to ground
a conclusion as to which action viii finally

NEW YORK, January 1.-The clergy
man ofthis city reported to have eloped
with q member OF his flock, is Rev. Mr..
Cook, of the West Seventh street Metho-
dist Episcopal Church.
Tha erring divine has heretofore pos
sessed the entire confidence of his flock,
but 1t is feared that his evil courseis not of
recent origin, for he is believed to have
been the prey of blsck-mailers for some
time past, In consequence of his secret in
diseretions, and being driven TO the wall
by their secret opportunities, he re-
solved at last to secure the person of the
poor trusting child, and fee forever. He
departed on Saturday, leaving letters to
his vile and the father of Miss Jones, con-
Tossing bis crime. Detectives are on tho
track in several directions. The girl is
undoubtedly ruined. Her brothers are on
the track, and a bloody tragedy will
probably end this painful drauaa.

APPoRr1oNNENr NIL.

Mr.. Paine, Chairman of the House Com
mittee on Elections, has prepared bill
for the apportionment Of Representatives
throughout the states, which is the best
presented. The number Of members is to
be three hundred, with the proportionate
number added with the admission of a
new state. After the Forty-second Cong
ress q new enumeration is to be made
before the 18th of August, 1870, and sthe
basis of representation fixed. The num-
Der called for will embrace all the South
ern States, including Mississippi, Texas,
Virginia and Georgia. The next Congress
is to have, under the bill, the same mum
ber of districts from each State as at pres
ent, and any additional number which a
State may be entitled to, are to be elected
by the State at large. If it Is found, under
the new spportionment, that any State
has more than it is entitled to, no reduc-
tion will be made until the Forty-second
Congress. As the bill comes from the
Committee on Elections, it will stand a
good chance Of being pressed. 1t is very
