Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1881-09-02

Some weeks ago the Cincinnati Ga
zette stated that Dentist Bliss, son of the
chief surgeon to the President, was
using the information which he was al
lowed to get from the Presidents sick
room to speculate in Wall street. Now
Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Inter Ocean, without mention
ing any names, asserts that before some
members of the Presidents family were
aware of the intention TO summon DR..
Agnew for a consultation as to the re-
moval of the patient some one in New
York had the information. He also
states that some days ago man appear
ed in Washington who said that
he had come to make arrangements
for a direct wire from the White
House to brokers' office in Wall street,
but he found that he had been forestalled.
He offered to prove by files at the Yves
tern Union Telegraph Office that it was
a fact that dispatches went directly from
the White House to Corbin's place in
New York, banker and brokers' Office.
The same correspondent gives a cipher
code which is said to be that used by the
conspirators; also, its translation If
there has been such indecent and scan
dalous trafficking in the news of the
Presidents condition, those in charge of
his case owe it to themselves and to the
public TO explain how and by whom it
was done.

served in cans is S., 444.7 100. and shows
an increase over last year of $4O,051.
The value of the gold and silver coin
and bullion exported during the last ifs
cal year was $40, 4O6,S47; during the

chandise, coin and bullion exported over
that imported was in the former year
$91, 1872. 521; in the latter it reached the
large sum of $168, 534, O6s. This would
be the ''balance of trade in our favor, 4"

mists would measure our profits in

railroad property in this country, and
are more than enthusiastic relative to

They state that English capital is more

capitalists in the stability of our enter

Another Sew ReIlgIon.

Some people are never happy unless
they can invent or adopt some new re
ligion. The number and variety OF
creeds in this country would seem to be
sufficient 10 suit all tastes, yet new ones
are being constantly promulgated, much
as a person might invent new moving
machine or a new style Of shoes. One
of the most picturesque Of this seasons
new sects seems to be that known as
"The Chosen" a Michigan invention,
which is too good and pure for that Sec
ton, and meditates migration to some
secluded far Western region. There are
already some three hundred believers,
and they are ruled by twelve elders, who
are getting up new Bible, and to whom
all family or church differences are re-
ferred. They claim to have had great
secrets impaired to them by divine
revelation, initiate converts with elab-
crate ceremonies, keep both Saturday
and Sunday as days of rest, and have
many holy days besides, Second mar
riages. divorces and separations are
strictly forbidden. Members worth over
three thousand dollars have to divide
with their poorer brethren. This last
feature makes it doubtful il many
wealthy members will be attracted to the
Chosen, or that many expensive
churches will be built or high salaried
pastors employed. But how will it be
when, as is inevitable, those who have
once divided become again worth more
than three thousand dollars2 Will they
divide again, and so on ad R5itumP If
so, membership in the Chosen would sp-
pear to put premium on laziness and
want of thrift 1t is not likely that any
of these novelties in religion will last
long. Like skyrockets, they go up with
a blaze and a fizz and come down in
darkness and silence. Some kind of old
fashioned religion is good enough for
most people.

Threatened indian Outbreak.

A Milwaukee, Wis, dispatch to the
Herald says: There is intense excite
ment in the northern part of this State,
owing to threatened Indian outbreak.
The agent at Green Bay began on Satur-
day to telegraph to Washington for
troops, claiming that number of In
dams from Kansas and Dakota had been
on a visit to the Menominee reservation,
with the view to bringing about a war
on the whites. These visiting Indians
belong to the Sioux and Pottawatomies,
and represent the new order known as
the 'Dreamers.' The Catholic Indians
resist their influences, but the Protest
ants and unconverted have aimed and
Joined in a series of outlandish orgies,
seemingly bent on mischief. The au-
thorities at Washington telegraphed the
agent to swear in special constables. To
this he replied that there were 200 In
dams in arms and that he could not get
in that section of the State 100 ablebodied
whites to repel them. Secretary Kirk
wood then sent messenger to Governor
Smith requesting him to protect the
settlers and stating that a company
of United States soldiers would be dis
patched at once. If no outbreak occurs
within fOrty-eight hours there will be
soldiers enough there to Quell any up
rising. When Agent Stephens. with
eighty Indian police on Friday last, at
tempted to stop a pow-wow led by
'Dreamers, the whole party raised the
war whoop and forcibly released four,
whom the agent had arrested. The In
dams have sent dispatch to Washing
ton claiming that they will be peaceable
if not molested.
This outbreak has considerable signif-
icance when considered IN connection
with the uprising of the Sioux at Stand
ing Rock Agency, Dakota. the latter
nation being represented by 'Drelmers'
now in position. Dispatches tonight
from Clintonville say the excitement
over the Indians has not abated. The
"Dreamers" are keeping up a dance and
melting the reservation to deeds of VIC
lence. A correspondent of the Dailg
Republican telegraphs that the Me
nominee Indians, who are peacea-
bly, disposed, have been driven
away from Keshena. Agent Stephens
and his daughter are prisoners at the
agency and are afraid to venture out at
all. Reliable officers have been sent to
preserve peace at the camp of the
'Dreamers' in this State. Militia and
regulars have been ordered to the scene
of the trouble, and some will reach there
to morrow. Old Shabedock, Pottawa-
tonne chief, who was with, General Win
field Scott in the war which occurred
thirty-ive years ago, has been to see the
'Dreamers' and pronounces them bad
Indians"

The Revolutionary Congress, lately
held in London, was composed of fifty
four delegates, representing three
hundred and twenty federatures of
groups comprising six hundred thousand
organized members. The countries re-
presented were the United States and
Mexico on this continent, and France,
Belgium, Holland, Germany, Austria,
Italy. Spain, Switzerland, Russia.
Servis, Bulgaria, Roumsnis, Turkey,
Egypt and England in the Old World.
These incendiary characters advocated
and recommended 1.-THE total destTuc-
ton, by force, of existing political and
economic institutions" and rely on
dynamite to bring about the desired de-
struction of said political and economic
institutions" As far as the United
States is concerned the crime which has
stricken the country in the person Of its
sgHering Chief Magistrate will effectu-
ally stifie all such Nihilist movements or
plans for years to come. In Mexico and
the other Southern Latin republics the
disaffected resort to pronunciamentOs
and revolutions. In the Old World the
case is different. Society is agitated as
it has never been since the fall OF Napo-
leon l., and the people are not only tired
of their monarchs, but thousands of red
handed fanatics are clamoring for their
blood. 1t is probable that more assas-
sinations and more crimes will startle
the world before the revolutionary socie-
ties of Europe will apprehend what true
Democracy is, and will learn no e to ap-
ply its principles.

Strange stories are told by an English
man Of distinction, who lately made a
West Indian tour, Of the prevalence Of
Voudouism in Hsyti He asserts that of
the 5000 inhabitants only 10000 do
not openly belong to ''Voudou. " and that
the Catholic religion, nominally the estab-
lished worship of the people, is power
less to suppress the horrible outgrowth
Of Paganism. Murder and cannibalism
are parts of the Voudou horrors, and the
butchery Of children marks the great
Vosdou feasts three times a year. OF
course these horrible rites were imported
from Africa by slaves from the Congo,
but it appears that the superstition has
taken deeper root in this island than
elsewhere. If these be facts, civilized
nations should unite TO suppress these
crimes in the interest of humanity.

As a token of respect and sympathy
for President Garfield, the Selectmen OF
Franconia, New Hampshire, have given
his name to the mountain which has
heretofore been known as the Hay
stack" This mountain, which is here
after to be called Mount Garfield, has
long been famous as the most symmetri-
cal of the White Mountain group, and
one of the most conspicuous of the higher
peaks, attaining a height of 1850 feet,
which is 200 feet less than Mount Lafay-
cite, its near neighbor. Sixty years ago
it was called Moose Mountain, while

''Great Haystack." After the assassins-
ton of President Lincoln the mountain

The New Orleans Cotton Labor TrOu-
HAS

AS heretofore stated, there has been a
serious conflict threatened between the
capital and labor engaged in handling
cotton in New Orleans. Against the
solid organization of the labor element,
embracing every class employed in hand
ling the staple from the time of its re-
ceptIon until it is stored in the ships
hold, we now learn from the Pieayune
that there has been recently opposed an
organization representing the factors,
buyers and shippers. The Cotton Mems
Executive Council is composed of dele
gates from associations of the Screwmen,
Longshoremen, Draymen, Cotton Press
Yard Men, Weighers, Reweighers and
Classers. These associations are said to
number some 5000 men. The Execu-
tive Council is given limited veto
power upon the action of the
various associations. While it can
not make tariff for any of the associa-
tons, it can prevent change in any tar
if already adopted and fled with it. The
various organizations had perfected their
tariffs. and they had been acted upon
and finally accepted by the Executive
Council, and duly promulgated to be
binding during the next cotton season,
or for the twelve months beginning Sep.
TENDER 1. 1881, and ending August 81,
1882. The propositions looking to
compromise, which have come from the
factors and shippers, were received after
the tariff had been made up, and The as
socistions now decline to make any
changes. The conservative members do
not desire further agitation and reopen
ing of the issues, for fear that there may
be an effort made to put the prices OF
labor up to exorbitant figures. They
claim that the charges now are not I'M
fair. and, if accepted. will be adhered to,
and all parties will have a stable basis
for operations during the coming year."

The Indians who are causing all the
trouble on the Southwestern frontier,
and who will yet give serious annoyance
to those engaged in constructing the

manches, Mescaleros, Plain Apsches and
Hill Apaches. A few years ago the
COmanches could muster 500 warriors,
the Mescaleros about $500, the Hill
Apaches 1000, and the Plain Apaches
600. The best fighters of the lot are the
Comanches and Mescaleros, who have
never hesitated to attack a company of
Mexican soldiers when the latter out
numbered them three to one. The
Apaches are good fighters. but they rely
