The members of the Greenback State
Committee are said to be of the opinion that
there will be no fusion this year, and that
the Greenbackers will nominate a candidate
of their own for Governor. The man most
prominently mentioned at present is DR.. 81.
3. Eaton of Camden. There is division In
the committee on the tariff question. The
majority is for protection, but Mr.. Otis of
the Rockland Opinion is free-trader, and
he wants all mention of the tariff omitted
from the platform. Perhaps better plan
would he to copy some of the see-saw reso-
buttons of the Democracy on the subject.
Their old platforms will furnish large as
sortment of fair sounding declarations which
anybody can subscribe to.

The Democratic House has refused to
pension the grand daughter of Thomas JEFF
ferson because it is unconstitutional to grant
pensions for civil services and jefferson 3
services were of that character. The other
day the Democrats attempted to pension all
the men who had served, even for few
days, in certain Indian disturbances. It
is pretty safe to say that large portion of
the men who would have received pensions
under this bill had rendered no service to
their country at all. But the survivors of
the Indian disturbances vote and the grand
daughter of Thomas Jefferson does not.

1t is an interesting conversation with Mr.
Justice Field of the United States Supreme
Court which our Washington correspondent
relates. Mr.. Justice Field is now a Demo-
crat, although he was Republican when
appointed TO his present place in 1868 by
President Lincoln. He has often been men,
toned as Democratic candidate for the
Presidency, and his friends were active in
the last National Convention of that party.
He does not now acknowledge that he is a
candidate, and it may be he is persuad-
ed that his chance has gone by. He feels at
liberty however to give the party good ad-
vice and it is very apparent that he has no
sympathy with the war on the conditions of
national prosperity which an influential sec
ton of the Democratic party is waging.
What Judge Field has to say of the candi-
dates mentioned for the nomination of eth
er party convention is all genial and appre-
ciative. He dwells rather on their qualifca-
tions than their disqualifications and finds
something agreeable to say about every one.

Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1884-03-19

The Senate has reached the Blair edu-
cational bill and has begun its considera-
ton. The main features OF the bill are
stated in our dispatches this morning.
Senator Blair has been working at this
educational scheme for several years. lie
has given a great deal of attention
to it. He did not press 1t
in the Forty seventh Congress,
because he thought the country was not
ripe for it. He was careful to keep it be-
fore the country, however, by means ofthe
press. His purpose was to have 1t
thoroughly discussed and public sentl-
ment created in favor of it before having
it considered IN Congress. He succeeded
in his purpose. The bill has
been widely discussed and generally
approved. In his speech yesterday,
Mr.. Blair gave the reasons which make
such a bill necessary. The reasons are
strong, but whether they are strong
enough to induce Congress to pass 1t re-
mains to be seen. The friends OF the Dill
urge that it is necessary for the govern
ment to assist in the education OF the
people in order to insure its preserva-
ton. They find authority for the bill in
those provisions of the constitution which
require that the United States shall guar
antee to every State republican form Of
government, and that Congress shall pro
vide for the welfare of the United States.
The bill will, doubtless, call out lengthy
debate. If it ever reaches the House 1t
will be antagonized by the Willis bill on
the same subject. 1t is probable that an
educational bill, such as the Blair and
Willis bills are, will not pass this Con-
gress, but it is pretty certain to pass in a
few years.

Towards Capitalization.

In his dissenting opinion in the legal
tender case Mr.. Justice Field defines this
to be a government Of limited powers. 1t
is worthy of notice, however, that il is
rapidly becoming a government OF I'M
limited powers, and that the people are
doing what they can to remove the bar
riers between the two kinds of govern
ment. Whenever the people are over
taken. or are threatened, by a great
calamity. they do not look to their states
for help. but to the government at W ASH
ingtOn. When the Ohio valley was DESC
lated by floods the rich States which were
afflicted bv the calamity contributed very.
little to relieve the prevailing distress.
The national government was appealed to
for aid. and responded with an apprOpria-
ton Of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
When a little while ago a cyclone
wrought ruin in this and other
Southern States there was an
other appeal to the central govern
ment for help. The appeal would have
been answered if it had appeared that the
emergency was sufficiently great. On
Monday the Senate passed bill apprO-
priating $4,000 to stamp out the foot and
mouth disease among cattle in Kansas.
That great and rich State has taken no
steps to avert the calamity with which it
is threatened. The floods in the Lower
Mississippi valley promise to do that sec
ton incalculable damage, and the people
of that region are preparing to call upon
the Washington government for help if
the overflow becomes as great as is eX-
pected. The Supreme Court has just de-
cided that Congress has power to
issue legal tender notes. 1t appears
that Congress does about all that it is
asked TO do, and assumes that the consti-
tuition gives it power to do all it wants to
do. Every new precedent is an excuse for
going step fun Their. Once the constitution
was interpreted to mean that Congress
could do only what it was expressly au-
thorized to do. Now it is interpreted to
mean that it can do not only what it is
authorized to do, but also all that it is not
| prohibited from doing. 1t looks as if the
! doctrine of Capitalization were in the
! ascendant

A CONNECTICUT ROMANCE.
Gov. Hubbard Leaves His Beautiful
but WillfuI Daughter Penniless.


The will of the late Gov. Hubbard,
which has just been published, says a
New Haven Conn letter, reYives one of
| the most famous r0mances in the Nutmeg
State. He had three daughters, but the
will only provides for two. Nellie Hub
bard, the disinherited daughter, was a
belle in Hartford. She was beautiful,
well educated, and a great favorite in
| society. She was young and suscep-
| the silent pleadngs which daily scin-
| tillated from the bright eyes of young
coachman in her fathers employ. He
fell in love with Nellie. He improved
every opportunity offered tor being alone
with her. Miss Nellie pitied him because
he was poor. She soon became ardently
| attached to him. At last he confessed
his love. They were married. The peo-
pie who knew Nellie Hubbard best were
struck dumb with astOnishment. 1t was
the talk of the town for months. The
blow fell with crushing force on the ex-
Governor. He was proud man, and
very jealous Of his family honor. He de-
termined to retire from active life. The
Governor remained steadfast to his re-
solve for year or more, but at last re-
Tented. He died with hOnOrs thick upon
him, but even in death he could not forget
the compromising step his beloved daugh-
ter had taken.
Nellie, happy with her husband, left
Hartford. She made her home here. Her
husband had saved little money. With
this he started livery stable. He pros
pered. With the influx of dollars he en-
deavOred to ameliOrate the condition of
his wife. He knew she had been deli
cately reared, and it was his wish that
she should be delicately sustained. He
bought her a dog cart. Any fine day she
could have been seen riding through the
shady streets of the elm-embrOidered city.
Theirs was happy lite, everybody said,
| and everybody sympathiZed with the
pair that had de1ied the scorn of society.
A short year, however, ended the dream.
A child was born. Domestic infeIicity
followed. The husband obtained a di-
yorce. The wife lived in the city for sew
eral mOnths-no one knew how. Rumor
had it that the mother, who did not share
the fathers feelings in the matter, gave
her an allowance.
A short time before the Governors
death Mrs. Nellie removed to Meriden.
There she lived when death turned the
State into mourning FOR her illustriOus
father. In the simple document by which
he disposed of all his earthly possessions,
there was not one word for her. BY her
hasty and ill-considered action she lost

Cut Direct at Dinner Party.
There is just now much GOODNESS be.
tween two prominent New York families
says a New York special to the Phila.
delphia Press, growing out of so innocent
cause as the christening of baby. On

Perry Belmont being the best man and
Bishop Clark performing the ceremony.
The presents were valued at 100000,
August Belmont giving a large check,
and both families bestowing diamonds
and silver in abundance.
After bridal trip through Europe il be-
gan to be whispered that separation was
imminent. This was given credence by the
fact that the bride and groom returned by
different steamers. 1t is now understood
that Mrs. Belmont has taken steps to Sc
cure a divorce. She and her mother re-
Gently sailed again for Europe, while her
husband is said to be staying at his
fathers city and country houses, alter
nately.
The families of the bride and groom
were estranged by the quarrel, but some
innocent outsiders got mixed in the I'M
pleasantness because of the recent christ
ening of young Mrs. Belmont's child. At
the ceremony, Miss AstOr, daughter of
William Astor, and Mrs. Fernando Yznaga
stood as gOd-mOthers. When the BelmOnts
heard that it angered them toward the
Astors, and it is currently reported that
August Belmont cut Mrs. Astor dead at
dinner, where they happened to meet,
making matters very unpleasant for the
hostess.
Anyway, the families do not speak or
notice each other. sympathy is generally
on the side OF the AstOrs, who are better
liked than the BelmOnts. August Bel
mOnt's irascible dispOsitionis well known,
and in this case it has done him harm, for
he had nothing to gain and everything to
lose in cutting the AstOrs.
The trouble has not stopped here. Mrs.
YZnaga is a sister of Mrs. w. X. Wander
bilt, and the latter lady and her family
have also incurred the displeasure of the
BelmOnts.

A Priest Refuses to Divulge

The case of John COhesy and John

Michael Powers, says Chicago special
of the 18th inst. was tried before a jury
in Judge Gardeners court, and the defen-

The opinion we Yentured to express the
other day about the Queens new book,
that her Majesty would have been better
advised in saying either more or less,
seems to be supported by the fact that
even as it is the book mas given some
little offense in quarters where her Majesty
would most regret it. The passage about
DR.. Norman MacleOd's sermon in 1870,
when he rather too obviously applied
Isaiah's denunciatiOns to France, has ma
turally attracted attention acrOs the Chan
mel, and the newspaper comments which
the Paris correspondent of the Times
transmits this morning will hardly sur
prise any one. But a more unfortunate
misunderstanding still has been caused
across the border. Some of her Majesty's
''loyal Highlanders" have fastened upon
her remark that the late Principal Camp
BELLS prayer at the unwilling of the Al.
bert statue in Aberdeen was every long,"
There would have been something very
human in the remark, even if her Majesty
had not added that it was raining at the
time; but facts are facts, and a Scotch re-
ligious Journal has been unkind enough to
ascertain that the prayer which the
Queen objected to as every long, lasted
no more than five minutes.
