THERE are rumors of an Adams

THRRE are rumors of an Adams
movement on foot, the purpose of
which is to promote in certain con-
tingencies the nomination and cleo
ton of Charles Francis Adams for
the Presidency. 1t is said that those
who are engineering it have no hope
of success if both parties adopt
sound principles and put forward
their best men. The movement,
peradventure, may serve the useful
purpose of spurring them up to
the mark.

IT is proposed to have California
represented at the Centennial by a
memorial lamp post to be erectedin
Fairmount Park at a cost of $4,000.
Each state is to be represented by
one. The design for California is
somewhat elaborate and more of a
monument than lamp post. The
pedestal represents the trunk of
of a big tree, with gold quartz piled
about the base. A grape vine start
ing at the ground twines itself about
the trunk, with fruit and leaves in
relief. Near the top the branches
are sawed square off, and on the face
appears the coat of arms of the State
cut in wood. Above is an irregular
plinth which supports the figure of
a miner holding in his hand a cluster
Of star lamps, the branches and PEN
dants being decorated with fruits for
which the State is famed. The ped
estal is intended to be a symbolical
representation of California-as the
Golden State. The post will be of
enduring bronze, seventeen feet
high, and paid for by individual sub
scriptioa.

THE bill abolishing capital punish
ment in Maine has received the sig
nature of the Governor. 1t inaugu-
rates an experiment in that State
which will be watched with great
interest. Capital punishment is a
deplorable e1pedient to obtain results
supposed to be obtainable by no 9th
er means. IF it can be proved that
results quite as good can be secured
without it, every philanthropist will
rejoice.

DURING this year there will be a
vast deal of patriotic enthusiasm dis
played by hanging out our banners
on the outward walls, on turrets, lib
ertY poles and other conspicuous
places. 1t will be no cheap display
either, for under our national system
of taxation, bunting costs. There is a
tax of 35 per cent ad valorem on it
and 20 cents a yard besides, which
adds just about rs per cent. to the
expense of displaying flag. And
the worst of it is the Government
don't make anything by it. 1t COL
lects, perhaps, $1,000 year on i'm
ported bunting, but the chief advan-
tagei is realized by one mandatory
in the United States, which is ena-
bled by this Government tax on the
foreign article, to charge S1.75 for
every dollars worth of stars and
stripes.

BEN HILL, OF GEORGIA.

Mr.. Hill, of Georgia, who argued at
9Th, and with great force, against Nj
Blaine in the Amnesty debate is, sketched
aditorially by the New York Herald. Ill
substance as follows:
He was delegate to the Georgia sescs-
sion Convention, and with Alexander II
Stephens, was all opponent Of a committee
of seventeen to draft an ordinance of Seces-
ion, and their votes were so recorded, but
ont it was nevertheless carried.
The Committee ol Seventeen was forth
with annsunced by the Chairman, and Mr..
stevens and Mr.. Hill were both appoint
e1 upon it, and a resolve was adopted,
without Dissenting vote, from Mr., Hill
"h ;9hly approving the energetic and patri-
otic conduct Of Governor Brown in taking
possession Of Fort Pulaski"
the next day, January 10, in scere,1Ses-
-inn the Committee of Seventeen reported
the ordinance Of secession. whereupon Mr..
Hill moved to substitute a. very long act of
resolutions, which were drawn by Herschsl
V. johnson, once Senator Of the United
states. These resolutions averred that
Georgia sis attached to the Union, and
esires to preserve it if it can be done con.
sistenlly with her rights and satety,' but
that this Was not possible without "new and
amps security" in the matter Of slavery,
and Georgia would no. abide permanently
10 the Union" without such security; that
however, Georgia Was not disposed to Sc.
sede precipitately and invoked consultation
with her Southern confederates" for the
purpose OF securing her rights lin the
Union, if necessary" and that, therefore, she
invited Congress Of the slave States ie.
naming in the Union, together with the
independent republics Of South Carolina,
Florida, Alabama and Mississippi" agree
on common course OF action, They then
went on to specify at great length the guar.
antees which Georgia regarded as "indis-
pensable amendments OF the constitution OF
the United States y and 1t is suficien, to
say that they included the most extreme
demands of the most ardent shareholders
the recognition Of slaveryess national
institution, the prohibition Of lite abolition
in the national territory,the righ. Of slave
holders to take aud hold their slaves in the
so-called free Satea, the repeal Of all the
per-onsl liberty laws OF those States, ana
the payment by the United States to slave
owners of the value of rescued fugitive
.loyes. They also approved the seizure Of
Fort Pulaski, and pledged Georgia to de-
