The Centennial Appropriation bill
is said to be gaining favor among the
Southern members of Congress. Sena-
tor Gordon, of Georgia, agrees with
Senator Bayard that it is constitutional
and sanctioned by many precedents,
and he supports 1t on the following
grounds No section is so deeply inter-
ested in the proper celebration and re-
establishment of the principles of 1876
and the restoration of good.wi in the
country as the South. The proposed
appropriation would cost only about
81 cents per capita in the United States.
Pennsylvania having paid four and a
half millions of the five millions already
expended, it would be unjust to make
her pay more whereas the Congress
sional appropriation would perfect the
national character of the celebration
Foreign nations having accepted the
invitation to come, the reputation of
the Government is involved in perfect
ing the arrangements.

selected as the day, so that the Nation>

Secretary Fish was before the
House Committee on Foreign Affairs
Monday by invitation, to state the
present condition of the Cuban ques'
tion. He intimated that the recent
circular to foreign Governments merely
asked their moral support in the event
of mediation or intervention by the
United States. He did not regard the
tone of the recent Spanish reply to the
circulars as unfriendIy. The negotia-
tions were conducted in concilatory
spirit on both sides. and certainly
without threats on the part of the Uni
ted States," and he hoped they would
terminate satisfactorily. Should the
House cali for the correspondence, il
would be laid before that body.

FROM OUR OWN WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 90. 1876.
Crowds have been focking to the House of
Representatives all week to hear the debate up
on Randall's amnesty bill. The galleries have
been filled to overfiowing and hundreds have
been turned away, unable to gain admittance.
Blaine and Garfield have been making terrible
onslaughts on the conduct of the war bv the
authorities of the late confederacy, charging
that Jef. Davis was directly responsible for the
barbarous treatment OF Union soldiers at the
AndersOnville prisOn-pen, and therefore should
be excluded from the benefits of the proposed
amnesty. Hill, Of Georgia, attempted to re-
ply to the terrible arrangement, and though

THEY WANT A CHANGE,

Since the October elections intelligent
Republicans in all directions are falling
into line for Tilden and Reform. Here
are couple of instances, which we take
from the Sun:
At the Democratic headquarters there
is feeling of confidence that Tilden will
carry the State of New York by a largely
increased majority. This is no assertion
for mere political effect, but belief gath
cred from reports that are coming from
all parts of the State. Many of the letters
contain long lists of Republicans who
have avowed their intention to vote for
Tilden and Hendricks. A gentleman
well known in business circles in this
city sent his card up to the headquarters
yesterday, saying that he and his six sons
heretofore Republican voters, would vote
the Reform ticket.
James r. Coke of Auburn, one of the
original Abolitionists and founders of the
Republican party, has announced his ad
herence to Tilden and Hendricks, and i.
making Democratic speeches in the west
ern part of the State. He is brother o
Bishop Coke, Episcopal Bishop of westerl
New York.

member wore the time-honored badge in
herited from revolutionary progenitors.
The guests were few, consisting of the
Gov. of the State, Gov. Carroll, Of Mary

commission and MIR. McMichael. Dele
cations were present from the Maryland,
Y. N. Penn. and s. G. sodste 9, A num-
Der of speeches were made, but the cor
respondent of the N. Y. World says 'the
great speech of the evening was made by
Gov. Carroll. Every word was applauded
to the echo by both Democrats and Re-
publicans as the enumerated with true
Southern eloquence the great principles
of the democratic party, and denounced
those who in this centennial year kept
open the bloody chasm."

Bringing Back the Bloody Shirt Argu-
menl to its OrigindtOrs:
4. Louis Eowe, ex-Gov. of Maryland,
whose name was pressed by the indie
pendent Democrats in the coalition of the
Republicans for the office of Surrogate
and who W as defeated in the conference
by the accusation made by Republicans
that he was Governor of Maryland when
the attack was made on the Massachu-
sets regiment in Baltimore in 1861, yes
terday' published an address to his friends.
He repudiates the coalition ticket, except
ing the names of Walter Livingston and
John Cunningham, who are Democrats
whom he declares he will work earnestly
for. lie says that though he is resi-
dent of Brooklyn for eleven years, tax
payer and member of the bar, citizen
without reproacb, he is publicly ostra ciz-
ed and branded by hostile political
party because he is Southern man and
sympathized with his section in the late
civil war, which means that no Southern
gentleman can, by Republican voters,
have the honor to be town constable in
| a Northern city. The Surragate's Office
being purely local and judicial could have
no influence on national affairs and hence
the "bloody shirt" argument could not
apply. Says Gov. Lowe; 81 will not
support the Republican candidates be-
cause they represent the proscriptive rul-
ers of their party. l will battle against
them and their party, because they are
sneking to renew and perpetuote the de-
plorable hostilities that caused brethern
to shed each others blood fifteen years
ago. This affront is the more unpardon-
able when we remember that President
Grant himself has taken to his bosom
Mosby the Confederate guerrilla, and
Longstreet, the Confederate Lieut.. Gen.
This exhibits the insincertty and hollow
nessof the pretence and strips the acts of
every semblance af respectability.
