HONORs ARE EASY.

The Congressional committees-ope
appointed by the Senate and the other
by the Honse eff Representatives. are
now investigating the Louisiana cleo
ton. A majority Of the Sezate Com
mittes is Republican, aud q majority
of the House Committee is Democratic.
The former is engaged in hunting up
evidence of intimidation by Demo

The committees. so far, shows that

7HE EMMA MzNE.

A few years ago it .ns generally be-
iisved that riv',l to the Comstock leie
had been discovered in the Emma
mine in Utah. The mo.t extravagaut
reports of its reputed fabulous size
aud richness had been circulated.
There was dispute relative to its
ownership, bit a compromise was
effected between the rival claimants.
y Experts examined tie mine and In
glowing terms pictured its immense
wealth. until its fame spread through
ont the civilized world. A shrewd op
crater named Trenor W. Park obtained
control Of the mine couditionally. He
went to England. where 1t is alleged.
with the assistance of United Minister
Schenck. he succeeded in disposing of
the niue to an English company for
1000 900 pounds sterling, $4,000, 0GG.
The English company proceeded to
work the mine and soon found the bot
tom. They have no" brought SUIT
against Trenor w. Park, Henry III,
Baxter aud William M. Stewart, form
erly United Senator from Nevada. in
the United States Circuit Court, New
YorR city. to recover 5000, 600. The
plaintiffs allege that Baxter and Stew
art were interested with Park at the
time Of the sale, and tina. the ore then
remaining in the mine did not exceed
in value $250.O0o. They also allege
that Professor Silliman. who repo tied
on the mine as an expert. was bribed
by defendants to make false report.
The case il one of the most interesting
since the Tilton- Bsecher afflir, AS it
involves the reputation of an ex Minis
ter to England, an ex United States
Senator, Professor and an English
Baron. besides the trif,ug sum Of
$5.000,000 1t is probable that it will
. occupy the attention Of the Court until
the Presidential question is settled. -

A Constitutional Question.

new YORK, Dec. IL, 1876.
The Tribune's Washington special
says there is growing opinion among
men of both parties that the way ont
of the difficult sltwation can still be
opened By the Snpceme Court for de-
cisioD. Thus far the whole dispute
can be narrowed down to the question.
whether the House of Representatives
has the right of its own motion. and
without the concurrence of the Senate
to throw ont the returns of State.
This is purely n Constitutional ques-
ton, and like all questions arising ont
OF different Interpretations Of that in
stTumen.. il ought TO be referred to the
Supreme Cont. The trouble though
is to get the matter before the Courts.
Democrats and Republicans both are
favorable TO the plan.

How Ftve6isters COT Married

A marriage took place in Boston re-
Gently which recalls some interesting
"reminiscences of the habitues of hotels
in New York. The bride is one Of five
sisters who have all been married within
seven years, generally very happily.
They have lived every winter, sometimes
together and sometimes apart, in fashion
able hotels in this city. They are all
pretty, and, married and single, have
been known as accomplished hirts, The
efforts Of the first married have been con-
centrated for several years to secure
husbands fer those not married. Two
years ago they ell lived ct the c.,
and the married sisters gave through the
winter such q round of entertainments,
card parties, dinners and suppers, opera
parties, etc., for the sake Of bringing
their sisters into contact with the world,
and especially with desirable beaus, that
the matter became a subject Of hotel
scandal, although innocent of positive
immortality. The fourth sister was mar
ried in Brooklyn last spring, and the fifth
and last is now a Boston bride. She is
reputed to hsvs been thrice engaged pre-
vieusly, but Tilted each time ia retalia.
ton fer her indulgence in "airtations"
with gentlemen friends. She is gone
now from New York's gaze at last, and
at least one subject Of hotel scandal is
removed.

LONDON, March 24.-There has been O
panic and q decline of from 5 to u per
cent. in Egyptian securities to-day, in
consequence Of Disraeli's statement in
the House Of Commons last evening that
the Khedivs desired that Canes report
should not be published because the
Egyptian finances we're in an unsettled
state, and the report was Of a con6den'
tiAl character. Government securities
we're generally weaker, probably in sym
patty, though some attribute the fact to
Disraeli' expression last evening, during
the debate on the Queens title bill, that
R%ussia's conquest Of Tsrtary is we'll
known throughout India, and the Queen
assumption Of the title Of Empress Of
India would be received as a sign Of our
determination to maintain our Indian
Empire. Home railways are firm, and
changes in prices are generally upward.

STATE POLITICS.

The State Democratic Executive Com.
mittee met yesterday at Nashville and
took important action. All the mem.
bers we're present except Attorney Gen.
eral L. Z. Wright, of Shelby, and DR..
Sharpe, of Davidson. After a full and
free consultation it was decided to cal
two State conventions, one TO appoint
delegates 10 the National Democratic
Convention, which meets at St. Louis on
the 9th Of June, and another State con.
vention to nominate a candidate for
Governor and electors for the Demo,
cratic candidate for President.
The first convention will be held a
Nashville Wednesday, the Slst of May
The second convention will be held Al
the same place Wednesday, the 9th o
August.
The following resolution was adopted.
Resolved, That the Democracy Of tn,
several counties Of the State be request
ed TO meet in convention on the frs,
Monday in May, for the purpose of ap
pointing delegates to the May conven
ton, and that they be further requested
TO meet in convention on the FIRST Mon
day in July to appoint delegates to th,
August convention.
Under this resolution it will deyoIve
upon the Executive Committee Of thi,
and other counties to call a county con
vention for Monday, the FIRST day of MAY,
to appoint delegates to the first State
Convention, and to call another county
convention for Monday, the % Of july.
to appoint delegates to the second s,a'e
Convention. 1t will probably be found
e%xpedient for one of these county con.
ventions to be called for the adj Il
ticnal purpose Of nominating cahdi,
dates for county Offices. Whether the
county canvass should last two month.
or only n month now becomes a ques
ton to consider. Those who are nomi,
mated will find one month long enough
for their pockets, but as this is a year OIL
politics and unusual excitement, the can.
Vass may be precipitated earlier than &C.
tually necessary. Justices Of the peace
are also TO elect in August. and that

THE BLACK HILLS.

A number Of letters are at the Mem.
phis postofice addressed to the Secretary
of the Black Hills Mining Company
The secretary has not put in his appear
ance. We are not aware Of the existence
Of any party organized here to 60
to the Black Hills. Those who &c
there will be sorry of it. The
difficulties and hardships are appsll.
ing; the prospect of making even
good wages exceedingly slim. The only
paying mine that we know Of is in the
corn field or c~ottOn-6eld. The place is
rather lonesome, but is not q thousand
miles away from home and friends in the
midst Of a wilderness. 1t is accessible
to all men, young and old, without much
danger ef encountering Indians or wild
beasts, or savage white men; the society
is better than any that can be found in
the Black Hills; there is little or no com.
petition; the fare is rough but whole
some; mail facilities are good, and there
is always a certainty of fair returns for
the muscle invested. Young man, out
Of employment and talking about going
out among the Indians to dig for gold, go
to the corn-6eld; hire out for $40 q
month aud your beard or work on the
shares, put in a mixed crop Of cotton,
corn, potatoes and goober peas, and
when the fall comes drive your share to
mlrket like a man, and you will begin
to feel like one. But if you must see the
Black Hills, make big black hills of corr
and potatoes, with plenty Of manure in
the bottom, aud in the fall you will see
black stalks Of corn and heavy ears that
would make a mule laugh. Hundreds
aud thousands of men, mostly from the
towns and cities, are raking up their last
dollar to invest in 3 trip and IN outfit to
the fsbled gold regions of the Sioux res
erVstion. They will be sick Of it, and
many Of them will die there. 1t is a
cruel delusion, kept up by stage lines
that are making fortunes by carrying the
people out there frem Wyoming
aud Cheyenne, and by newspapers,
uhioh gaa- 90 toLo -.o-.J
interest in propogating false hopes.
People who are wise and think a little
will stay at home. A fortune made in a
day, or a year, is never or rarely a bless
ing. Small gains, steadily accumulated
at regular employment, are greatly to be
preferred in the long run. The time has
passed when men could suddenly grow
rich at speculations.or mere luck. Even
the luckiest, such as Jim Fisk, Jay
Cooke, Daniel Drew, and Ralston, 20
down sooner or later. There is no dan
ger Of growing rich suddenly by going
to the Black Hills, but it is the desire
and Elusive hope that leads thousands
into that unhappy adventure. There is
more money, honor, peace Of mind and
responsibility at the plow.handles for
the young men of the country than in
al the gold mines in the world. And
We advise a good many to try it who are
drinking whisky and wearing good
clothes at somebody else's expense.

liant promise, is at present subjected, BY
inhdelity and demsgogy, to such a hu
initiating and dangerous crisis that my
conscience does not permit me to absent
myself for the time being. Thus, per

and not less redoubtable than the two
