The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1879-02-06

Senator Christiancy now has doubts as to
his acceptance Of the mission to Peru, He
finds that business matters demand his care
at home, and unless they can be arranged to
his satisfaction he will not go. Why not ap-
ply to Zach. Chandler In this emergency 1t
Is safe to say that that stalwart would go
almost any length to accommodate Chris
tiancy In his effort to get out Of the Senate.
1t is sad, indeed, that there should be any
hitch at this time. Chandler had already as
sured himself of the Senatorial succession,
and If Christiancy should now find it eonyen-
lent TO let Peru go and remain In the Senate,
the consequences would be frightful. No
Christian man can think OF them without q

resentatives were strongly opposed to paying
them. To give force to this assurance 1t has
since been determined to introduce resoln-
ton prohibiting the payment Of any Southern
war claim, whether to loyal on disloyal per-
sons, Mr.. Waddell, OF North Carolina, being
selected to make the motion. This will have
the effect OF calming the irritation upon the
subject, and will do more to free the Northern
mind Of its fear Of the solid South as poiiti-
cal factor than anything else that might be
proposed. The Republican journals have
been so persistent in their warnings OF a
coming Southern raid on the treasury that
the North has been worked up 10 regard po~
litical unity In the South as standing
menace to the national purse, and indirectly
to their individual pockets. The adoption OF
Mr.. Waddells resolution will effectually set
tie those fears, and compel the Republican,
to look elsewhere for source OF sectionaf
agitation.

The Radicals of France are encouraged by
the election of Grevy to the presidency, and
have become alarmingly bold and aggressive
In consequence They favor certain changes In
the constitution Of France that would make
that country radical republic Among the
proposed changes are one assembly, the pro-
hibition Of all religious orders, the Danish
mept OF the Jesuits and the transfer OF all
education to the State-all religious and
other bodies being prohibited from teach Ing.
This Is approaching dangerously near to the
teachings of the Communists. Indeed the
Radical Republicans OF France are, as FAR as
theories and ideas are concerned, Communists.
They show their sympathy with the latter by
proposing general amnesty OF all political
offenders, and even the compensation OF some
of the Communists whom, they believe, hay
been unjustly and improperly condemned.
It Is to be hoped that the danger that
threatens France through these men will
soon disappear. 1t is probable that 1t will.
Paris seems unaffected and unbalanced by the
situation. The election at Marseilles, ALSO
would seem to indicate that the Radicals are
losing their popular support. Marseilles is
to-day, as 1t was In 80, the headquarters OF
Radical Republicanism In France, and yet at
the popular election In that town last week
the Radicals were badly defeated.

SOUTHERN WAR CLAIMS.

The Republicans were badly disappointed
at the result of the debate on the Southern
war claims. The ill-considered remarks of
Gen. Bragg, OF Wisconsin, directed against
his Democratic brethren, 1t was hoped would
cause bad blood and produce an ultimate
breach between the Northern and Southern
wings Of the party. Such might have been
the case had it not been for the prudent
course Of the Democratic leaders who sue
ceeded in adiourning the debate and gave the
Southern members who desired to reply to
Bragg an opportunity to calmly consider his
remarks. The Republicans made every effort
to continue the discussion, and were much
disappointed by the tactics of the Dem
oerats. After the lapse Of several days
Messrs. Chalmers and Hooker were given
a chance to reply to the aggressive Wiscon-
sin member This was done calmly and dis
passionately, and produced an effect alto
gether the reverse Of that expected by the
Republicans. Not trace of bitterness re-
manned after the discussion was finished
The Southern members showed conclusively
that Gen. Bragg's fears Of Southern raid on
the treasury we're unfounded; that the so.
called war claims were not pressed by the
true Southern people, but by those who were
disloyal to the South during the w8r, ant
that the Southern people and Southern rep

The House yesterday passed Representa-
tive Robertson's levee bill by respectable
majority. This bill provides for the organi-
zation OF the Mississippi River improvements
Commission and for the correction, perma-
nent location and deepening Of the channel
and the Improvement Of the navigation Of
the Mississippi. The amendments to this
bill, providing certain funds for the improve
ment OF the river by levees, were defeated, az
was generally anticipated. The passage OF
this bill, however, has placed Congress on
record as favoring the levee system as a
means of improving the navigation OF the
Mississippi, and there seems to be no reason
for doubling that, at an early day. Congress
will lay aside sufficient amount to carry oui
the purposes to which the adoption of this
bill pledges It,
1t Ia almost certain that this bill will pas:
the Senate at an early day.

Congress has not yet made provision for
the arrears OF pensions bill, and there Is con-
siderable latitude In the estimates as to what
appropriation will be needed. The lowest es-
Inmates put 1t at $19OOOoOo while Secretary
sherman who has to raise the money, thinks
that at least s15o,0OO,OoO will be required.
The Commissioner of Pensions and the Chair
man Of the Senate Finance Committee are in
termediaries between these extremes, the one
placing the amount at $50 900, 900, the other at
$s3,O0O,0o0. 1t is certain that the sum will be
far in excess Of the lower figures. Congress
having hastily provided for the expenditure
can now carefully consider where the money
ia to come FROM This is one of the financial
problems at present disturbing our wiseacres

Stalwart organs are loud In their denun-
Citations of what they call the Charleston
district election frauds, but carefully conceal
the facts as developed in the case Of Wash
burn, the successful Republican candidate In
the st. Paul district of Minnesota. The tissue
ballot scheme does, not compare with the

the latter means O majority OF three thousand

would have elected Donnelly, the Democratic

The Chicago papers ara demanding that
Congress shall appropriate two million dol
lars to complete the Illinois and Michigan
Canal to the Mississippi river. These are the
Journals that denounce the levee bill as a
treasury theft and assail an appropriation OF
$4,000 for O needed public building at Mo-
bile. They are also outspoken against gov
eminent aid for railroad on or below the
thirty second parallel, and at the same time
insist that the Union Pacific road Ia great
national necessity. But, then, both the canal
and the railroad are, In a great measure,

The Berlin treaty Is being carried out
piece-meal. One by one the provisions Of that
treaty are put Into effect. Turkey has just
carried out one OF these articles by surrender.
ing the province of Khotour to Persia. This
provision was inserted In the treaty by Rus
sia in order to win the support and favor Of
the Shah.
The Turkish forces have also begun the
evacuation of Podgoritza, which town, In ae.
cordance with the provisions Of the treaty
will be turned over to Montenegro In few
days.
1t is now announced that as soon as Podgo.
rita is surrendered, the definitive treaty Of
peace between Turkey and Russia will be
signed. 1t is expected that this signing will
take place on the sixth OF this month.

The threatened prohibition of the importa-
ton OF American cattle into England on the
ground that pleuro-pneumonia Is prevailing
among them, Is creating no little excitement
and alarm In the North and West. The best
evidence seems to be that this disease is not
at all common In this country, and can be dis
covered In but few American cattle. During
the late great snow storm, which interfered
"a much with railroad traffic In the North.
oute number Of cattle cars were detained
for DAVIS In the snow. The cattle enclosed In
these cars suffered severely from exposure to
the cold and hunger, being left wholly with
out food for several days. This brought on
the disease of pleuro-pneumonia. These ema'
ciated and sick cattle were shipped to Eng
land, and found on their arrival there 10 DC
affected with this contagious disease
This gave the English cattle dealers the op
portunity they had long been looking for
The importation Of American cattle and bee
has greatly reduced the price Of beef In Eng
land and seriously affected the interests o
the English farmers. England has suffered
much during the past year from American
competition in all kinds of articles, manu-
featured and staple, and there has lately
been loud demand in that country fol
some kind Of protection. The English agri
oulturists saw the opportunity afforded
them here, and innumerable petitions hav,
gone up to the English government request

vent their Importation altogether The mat
