gagged, and the Klub will meet at their head
quarters on Broad street, ut Krause's, Mt Ct

pointed: Hon. A. NJ. Kelley, General

Yaaycs,s Surrender to Morton.

From the chicago IlmeS.J
"All differences have disappeared,'
gushingly writes a Washington partisan OF
fraud and duplicity, sand nothing but praise
of Dir. Hayes is now heard" That refers,
of course, to the circle in which the plot for
stealing the presidency was hatched and
consummated. Hayes has broken his
faith plighted to the Confederate brigadierS,
and put Tyner at the head of civil-servlce
reform in the Post-Oflice Department.
What more could Morton himself demand !!
The expediency of making pretense Of
fulfilling the pledges of the campaign can
not Le questioned. The sham is transpa-
rent enough, and the most unreasoning
champions of Grantism should be content.
No wonder that "nothing but praise" is
heard where week ago curses both loud
and deep resoundcd. The cloak OF liberal
ism, like the garment Of the fairy tale, has
enabled its wearer to pass safely through
the perils that environed the road to the
goal OF his ambition, and it is cast contemp-
tuously aside at the earliest opportunity.
If present appearances count for anything,
the restoration OF the reign OF Grantism may
be considered complete. The interegnum
is ended, and call differences have disap-
pcared.'

A Card from DIR. j. VIM. Jones.


9O1 WEST GRACE STREET, March ~, 1877.
Editors Of the Dispatch:
would do violence to my feelings ii l
did not avail myself Of an early opportu-
nifty, after moving into my new home, Of
returning my heartfelt thanks for the uni
versal kindness l have received since the
fire at my house on the morning OF the 5th
instant.
To the firemen and citizens who exerted
themselves to save my property / return
sincere thanks. TO the kind friends who
have come to my help, with iberality
which has been only equalled by the deli
cate consideration with which it has been
bestowed, feel a gratitude which words
cannot express, but which will be con-
stantly kept alive by the presence in my
home OF the comforts which they have en-
abled me to procure.
The universal sympathy which has been
expressed. and the kindly interest mani
tested, will serve as my apology for adding
that all OF my manuscripts were saved !;
that had at my residence none OF the pa
pers or books of the Southern Historical So
ciety, and that while the books in my Library
had their backs burned off and were soaked
with water, many OF them can be saved for
practical Use by rebinding.

Some Plain Talk from AN IndepcnG.
ent Journal.


fFrom he Phila :elphia Times, 26th.J
There are few very PLAIN facts, now
well known even to the wayfaring men OF
the nation, which President Hayes should
look squarely and honestly in the face.
They are:
/. That Senator Stanley Matthews, Con-
gressman Charles Foster, Secretary Evarts,
and Others aiding with more or less direct
ness, distinctly pledged the prompt re-
moval OF the troops from both South Caro-
lima and Louisiana by President Hayes.
2. That pledge was given with the knowl-
edge and consent of President Hayes; it
was given to leading southern Democrats,
who held in their hands the power to hinder
Mr.. Hayes's election; it was communicated
to the pretending Governors Chamberlain
and Packard by letters from Matthews and
Evarts, and the inaugural address was
framed to teach the nation its wisdom and
necessity.
3. The pledge thus given was voluntary
pledge, and was proffered as the deliberate
and settled purpose and policy OF the Presi-
dent. 1t was accepted in good faith, when
there were legal means for defeating the
fraud that compassed the election Of Hayes,
and the whole country accepted it as the
dawn Of tranquility and prosperity.
4. Ii OuauUcIialH ID W pe Sio"heo HNn
foreign mission for his infamy, as now
seems probable, it will be an indelible stain
upon the Administration and if Packard
shall be temporized with until be succeeds in
his undisguised efforts to plunge his State
into anarchy, President Hayes will be the
author Of the unspeakable wrong. He has
but to do right. and the right will vindicate
itself; but to be honest with the honest
men who accepted his plightcd faith, and
the nation will have peace.

SEwERs.-Yery valuable information on
the subject Of sewer-gases was communica-
ted by Or. Frankland at the February meet
ing OF the Royal Society. The direct con.
nection OF the outbreak OF pestilential
diseases with the exposure OF locality to
the gases from sewers was shown by some
remarkable instances. The conclusions,
from careful experiment, are that the ordi-
nary and proper flow OF sewage does not so
agitate the liquid that the gases will escape;
but IL the flow is checked and the sewage
stagnates the deleterious gases will certainly
be evolved. Hence it is of prime importance
that a steady and even flow should be kept
I'D at all times through sewers.

THE PROyIDENT SAVINGS ASSOCIATION
SICK RELIEF.-The Provident Savings Asso-
citation, incorporated March 20, 1877, by an
act of the Legislature Of Virginia, has been
organized with the following Board OF
Directors: H. c. Deshields, Leroy S. Ed
wards, 3. C. Hartsook, W. Ben. Palmer, l..
L. Bass, John NJ. Otey, r. E. Armstrong,
John E. Laughton, j. Booton Hill, and G.
T. Danforth, who will manage the affairs Of
the Association for the first year.
The prominent feature Of the Association
will be the issuance OF sick-reliei certiti-
Gates, this purpose receiving special contri-
buttons and savings from any person Of
sound bodily health desiring to make the
same to secure pccuniary aid or relief during
sickness.
The plan of the Association in regard to
relief in case of sickness Of the holders Of
its certificates is new in this section OF the
country, but has, however, been success
fully carried out in other localities. Life
insurance policies make no provision for
the sickness OF the assured. In certificate
Of the Provident Savings Association this
wise and important provision is incorpo-
rated.
BY the charter the Association is also au-
thorized to transact the business OF savings
bank, and to act as general insurance agents.
The following officers were elected for
the first year: Major II. C. Deshields, pre-
sident; Colonel John NJ. Otey, vice-presi-
dent; B. c. Hartsook, secretary; Leroy S.
Edwards, cashier.
With all ample capital already subscribed,
and under the management OF active and
competent officers and directors, the Asso-
citation will supply a generally-acknowl- /
edged want OF all classes in this section OF
the country.

LEa1sLAr1yE Do1Nas-CANAI-LEAsE Bill

LEGISLATIVE DoINas-CANAL-LEAsE BILL
PASSED WHIsKEY BILL-PRINTING Con-
MITTEE.-Both houses have passed the bill
to lease the James River and Kanawha canal
to Messrs. Sbanahan e. Randolph. 1t Is by
no means certain that the Governor will ap-
prove the measure.
To-day the Joint Committee on Printing
will hear evidence and argument in the mat
ter OF the contest for the bookbindins OF
the State for the ensuing year.
Senate bill appropriatlng 1925, 900 to build
n new asylum for the colored insane has
been amended by the House committee by
reducing the amount TO $4,000.
1t is very likely that Senate bill providing
for the appointment Of railroad commits
sioner will pass the House. The gentleman
who is to be commissioner has already been
pretty well agreed upon.
Many members OF the House visited Col
onel Crittendcn at Jail yesterday. The
House will probably pass by from day to
day the report recommending that he be
suspended, as it is thought by many that it
will be better for the jury to act in the
matter first.
Hon. John Randolph Tucker and eX-Sen-
ator Fl. o. Claughton were at the Capitol
yesterday.
The opponents of the Moaett whiskey
bill are making very determined fight
against it, but they will scarcely be able to
prevent its passing the Senate.

INGENIOUS ATTEMPT TO ROB BAEK-A
TIMELY DIsCovERY-HASTY FLIGHT OF THE
ROBBERS. philadelphia, March 26.-At
about II O'Clock this morning watchman
of the Consolidation National Bank, of this
city, upon going to the directors room, on
the third floor OF the building, discovered 4
large hole through the wall into the next
building. An examination disclosed the
fact that a well-planned attempt to rob the
bank had been in progress for some time
past, and had been frustrated only by the
accidental return of one Of the watchmen
after leaving the bank yesterday.
1t appears that on February Goth the prem
ises No. 327 north Third street, adioin-
ing the bank, were rented by persons who
represented that they intended opening a
wood and Willow-ware establishment, but
desired first to make some alterations in the
building. The real object of the parties
was not suspected, and no attention was
paid to what pounding was done by them.
1t was evidently their intention to enter and
rob the bank yesterday, Sunday being the
only time when but one watchman was on
duty in the building. The night-waLch-
man left the bank at 10 O'Clock yesterday
morning, and the burglars probably
entered the directors room at that
time, and prepared to descend and gag
the remaining watchman. The night-watch-
man, however, after leaving the bank, dis
covered that he had forgotten his pocket
book, and returned for it. Finding the door
closed, he rang the gong. This probably
frightened the robbers away, as they were
evidently prepared to battle with but one
man. A fine collection of burglars tools,
with powder, nitro-glycerlne, etc.,
were strewn over the floor Of the adjoining
building, and various articles of clothing
and disguises found scattered all the way
down The stairs to the front door, indicating
hat the flight OF the thieves had been a
hurried one. The police as yet have no
clue as to the identity Of the thieves.

ANCIENT ORDER OF HIBERSIANs.-John
Carroll and j. v. Reddy left for New York
on the last nights train as delegates from
the Ancient Order OF Hibernians in Vir-
ginia to the National Convention OF that
order which assemblies in New York to-
day.
There are 100000 members in the organi-
Zation, and on the action OF this Conven-
ton depends. the future of the order in the
United States. They must set themselves
right with the Catholic Church, and show that
they have no atiiliation OF sympathy with
the Molie Maguires OF Pennsylvania, or
several State organizations will withdraw.
Heretofore all the national officers have
been elected from New York, and all the
conventions held in New York city, and
against that custom vigorous protest will
be entered.
