Par Letter.Fom an Occasional

Nabuviixe, March 11. Kclhiag of anyspecial interest has occurred since ray lHttktter. Your paper of the ninth was a bomb-shell among the repudiating members of thelegislature. Never was there such indigna-tion as there is among the people in regardto the report of what you properly ciil the"desifisination committee." No man de-fends it. The people from all sections, so faras we can hear, condemn it in unmeasuredterms. Th? card of J. M. Keating express-- s

the universal feeling. Those who have notbeen assailed feel as indignant n those whohave been. The question now is, who in-

dorsed that report? Did any of our promi-nent men? The signers cf it are meretiphe-s- . Was it shown to acy one and in-

dorsed before it was published? Wiilauyman now defend it? It is believed here bysome gcod lawye.-- that it is actionable as alibel; that it is not satu a privileged com-munication ns will protect its authors and;?ners. If character is to ho

I Lave no idea it wiil pas bothhouses, and if it should, not one-thir- d ot th?people of the State would vote for it. AllRepublicans, ail the straightout repudiators,and all the State-cred- it Democrats wouldvote against it; and it it shtuld be adopted itwould amount to nothing, because the credit-ors of the State would never thiuk for a mo-ui- f

nt of accepting it. It is doubtful whetherauyttody would vote at that election, becauseit would Boon be seen to be a mere farce, lamy letter this morning 1 ttatotl that somethought the report of the State debt commit-tee was not a privileged communication, audwas, therefore, actionable as a libel. I thinkit is not actionable, and that it is protected,because the legislature ordered it to bo pub-

lished. This makes it ad the worse, how-ever. If this be so, and 1 think it is, a legis-

lative committee may libel all the best citi-7Pi- is

of a State and yet be protected from ailliability. It is, therefore, more necessary fcrthe people to act. There are some good m?ain the legislature, and a distinction should bemade between them and the others. Thevr.t nn tli senate bill will show where menktaBd.

It is proper, perhaps, furme to say that I tm n'tobnoxious to the charges made in thismajority report, because 1 was one of the lew

13. 59men who voted against the internal improvement bills then proposed, tut I know frommy own observation, and my intimate connection wit1- the members of the general as-sembly of 185oM, which passed on of themost important of tbes? bills, that they wereas Hr from engaging in "corrupt legislation,superinduced by the various corporate bodiesinterested in securing aid from the State,"as any member of that ccnimil tee. The peo-ple of the State, and not "the corporatelwdies," demanded that they should grantthis State aid. If the policy was vicous, itwas the people's policy. As an evidence ofthis they Andrew J;hnson gov-ernor, utter he h id in his inaugural and inliia message in 1 o3, advocated the policy.Every member from East Tennessee and two-th-r-

from West Tennessee, participated inthis vicious policy and corrupt legislation.Will this committee say that Harris ofWashington, Udell of Sullivan, Bullen ofGreene, Drown of Moaroe, Cock of M'.Winn,D ii'ey and House of Montgomery, Cheathamof R'obcrt-son- Frwin of Maury, Buford ofGiles, Thorpe of Henry, Cavott of Weakley,Greer ot Madison, Wood cf Hardeman,Holmes and Far.-ingto- n of Shelby, Hawkinsof C irrol, Lucas of Humphreys, aud manyothers in the honse, whose namesI do rot cow remember; and Dan-la- p

to the men who make this charge?ih ngs were not done loosely at that sessionot the legislature, tjovernor Johnson naaissued one hundred and thirty bonds to theEatt iennessee acd ueorgia railroad com-pany. A m 'tuber of the house, favorable tothe raiiroad bill, introduced a resolution tocensure Governor Johnson for issuing thosebonds. tie did not I ropose to declarethem void. He had too much sense for that,be.t his resolution required and intruded theattorney general to bring suit against therailroad company for the value of them, ifsold, and if cot, to enjoin their sale. Heknew what he was doing, for he was a goodlawyer. The subject was fully discussed inthe house. It was shown that GovernorJohnson had taken the advice in writing ofthe then attorney-gener- el the State, andhad in ah things complied with the law.After full discussion Governor Johnscn wassustained in a house which bad fifteenWhig juniority by a maiority of seventeen.This we were not doing things loosely.At tins same s?ssion, the legislature, uponthe recommendation of Governor Johnson,created the office of railroad commissioner,whose duty it was to go upon the variousroads, examine the work, and see that all therequisites of the law were faithfully per-formed. To this office Governor Johnson ap-pointed R. G. Payne, of Columbia, whose reports show how truly and well he did hisduty. No man was ever more cautious thanGovernor Johnson in the issuance of bonds,and this committee cannot convince the people ot the State tnat he was not. Alter allthe facta were known, the peoplehim governor in Ifsoo, and the people werethen, I presume, equally as wise, as honestand us cautious as they are at tbe present day.In 167, uf or we had issued over six-- liionof dollars of State bonds to railroad comp-ares, the legislature, then, perhaps, as pureacd upright as the members of that commit-tee, elected him to the United States senate.I a 1SG7 Governor Harris took possession ofthe gubernatorial cflice and appointedII. F. Caniniins as railroad commissioner,who did his duty to the State in that officea3 well as ar.y man ever did, as his reportnow cu file shows. It is unnecessary fcr meto iy that fshsm G. Harris never violatedthe law, and a thousand s.:ch reports us theone under consideration would never massthe people of Tennessee believe he did.

HAVE WE A SPANISH IJHi'JISI-TiOi- .."

?Editors APPEAL Tho very worst feature

of this committee's report re'uains to be seen.They have acted as did the Spanish inquistiou in days of old. They have pone aboutover the country taking testimony to assailcharacter and not giving the parties impli-te- d

an opportunity to cross-examin- e thewitness- - One of the most sacred principlesof the law is ,tiat lae accused snail bebrought face to face riis accusers anav;it tho witnesses against ,nl- - .wh0;echaracter, either man's or woman's, is Rli'eagainst such proceedings as these? The x- -

parte testimony is taken and publ .shed to tbewarld uy a legislative committee at the people's expecse, and then, say they, the menor womeu who are assailed may defendthemselves. A man may be condemned andthen he insy show his condemnation iswrong. Is this what the legislative commit-tees are organized for, and paid cat of thepeople's money? Must the funds of theState be taken to publish electioneering docu-ments to sustain particular views? 1 knownot whether these parties implicated areguilty or not, but 1 know they are entitled to afair and impartial trial, and to meet the wit-nesses against them face to face, and cross-examin- e.

All this testimony was taken inmatters not al all pertinent to the issuo, forif the tacts stated be true, and the bends ille-gally issued, they have been recognized, andmost of them actually paid and cancelled.It is an attack upon character without givingthe accused the legal right of defense. Thisis a more important question than even thepayment or repudiation of the State debt.It involves the right of every man and everywoman iu the land not to have their charac-ters assailed in secret by witness1 s of whomand ot whose testimony they may knownothing. If character be dearer than prop-erty, tiren the course of this committee ismost reprehensible and most dangerous tosociety, if tolerated cr eyea excused. If thestatements contained ia this report be true,then the character of our State is more dam-aged than it would be by the open repudia-tion cf our public debt, even if it were ayetiui-- s as large as it is. Surely this commit-tee did not know the effect of the coursethey weie adopting, and the damaging resultto the public and private reputation of ailour people since 16-3- It is useless to at-

tempt to escape the force of their own lan-g- u

tt?. If the governors and other publicmen of Tennessee have, with "scarcely aiiugld exception," violated the law in theissuaune of bonds, and the people, directlyand through their representatives, have sus-

tained them in euch acts, truly ours is a la-

mentable condition. Read this report cire-fuii- y,

and see if this is not what they eay,either directly or by inuendo. They may nothave meant it, but they said it if the Englishlanguage has any msanir.g. To vindicatethe character of our honored ftateemen,many of whom are now sleeping in theirqaiet graves, is the duty ot every good citi-zen of IVrn"-Ble-

RANDALL THE STRONGEST MAN.Washington special to the New York

Tribune: "There are many Republicans whoare beginning to look at the speakership inthe light ot a national office and one inwhich the Republicans, in view of the partthey must take in conducting that part oftbe public business which is not partisan inits character, have a deep interest. Theyfeel that uuder Mr. Randall th; house wouldbe continuously under better discipline, andthat while Mr. Randall is seldom less than apartisan, ev n he would be fair comparedwith, what mignt be expected trom theelement which Mr. Blackburn h. nestly andboldly represents. Ihey reel confident thatunder Mr. llandall the public business couldbe more promptly and efficiently performed.In so lar as the speakership is a national office, it would be more perfectly administeredas such by Mr. Randall than by Mr. Black-burn. These considerations are bringingmany Republicans to tbe point where, if theDemocratic caucus should be unable to control a quorum of tbe house, and so be obligedto let the election of a speaker take its chanceson a general vote on tbe floor of the bouse,they would vote for Randall for the purposeof putting the hard-mone- y Democrats ot thehouse and those with most moderate viewsin power, rather thai Mr. Blackburn as therepresentative of the extremists reinforced bythe Greenbackers. There is another consid-eration that is working strongly in favor ofMr. Randall, and that is found in the fastthat the professional lobby, aluist without ex-

ception, is denouncing him and actively work-ing ugamet him. This woiks against Mr.Randall and not directly for Mr. Blackburn.There is no claim on the part of these gentle-men that the latter would deal more lenientlywith them, but their conduct concerns Mr.Randall alone, and is prompted solely bysentiments of revenge. The men saw therate session cf congress end without hav-ing had an

t 'opportunity to realize anyprofits from the legislation of the winter, andthey attribute their failure more generally tnSpeaker KantlaU thaa to any one man, andfar more than to any other Democrat. Mr.Randall still seems to be the strongest candi-date, and it is believed by the oldest and mostexperienced observers in Wcsh ngton thathe wiil not only receive the nomination ofhis party caucus, but that he will be electedto the speakership of the next house."GENERAL ATKINS8 VIEWS ON THE SPEAK-

the Democrats cannot afford to elect a south-ern man speaker. I may be wroug, but Idon't think so.

N. K. What about tbe political measureswhich were attached to the bills .that lailedat the last sesssion? Will they be insistedupon by tbe Democrats at the comming session?

Gen. A. Most assuredly, lhey will beattached to the bills and passed.

N. B. But won t the President veto thmas fast as sent to him, and will that no, bringabout a deadlock?

Gen. A. No. Hayes will not dare to dosuch a thing. Neither will the Republicansdare to go before the country opposed to freeelections.

N. B. No. But do rot the people wantfair as well as free elections? And do jounot thiik the supervisor law is necessary tosecure that result, especially in New Yorkcity ?

" Gee. A. Well, I am willing to let the lawstand, as far as it is merely supervisory ortestimonial in its character. I said so in myspeech, and I said so in the conference com-mittee. But I am opposed to allowing mento be imprisoned to keep them from voting.The Democrats will not submit to that.

N. R. Then you think the President willnot veto the bills as passed?

Gn. A. What right has be to veto them,anyhow? He has no right to interpose hisveto except when the measures passed areunconstitutional. That is all the veto powerwas intended for, and ha6 rarely been usedany other way.

Yff.nna, March 12. Lord Salisbury's reply of the twenty smth. of January to theRussian representation, made January 3,1, asto the daa-ie- i likely to arise if the work ofthe internatioii.il commissioners be retardedby disagreements, points out that the Rus-sian delegates on th.; Dobrudscha boundarycommission have been opposed to all theircolleagues relative lo the Silistria question.Tho Russian members of the commission forsettling tLe boand-ie- s and the constitutionof eas.ern Rouinelia also occupied the sameposition. Lord Salisbury says he does notcito these facts for the purpose of throwingthe blame on the Russian delegates, whodoubtless had sufficient reasons for their con-duct, but only to defend the British delegatesfroni the charge of obstruction. The Britishgovernment is aware that the execution ofthe treaty is a delicate task, requiring goodwill anu Laun?ny, and will continue to im-

press upon tU iepresentaiOT i- -- necessity ofpursuing the conciliatory policy to whtcaPrince Gortschakoff alludes. At the sametime the government would be wanting insicicerity if it did not point out certain casesin wiii.h the Russian agents, disregardingtho loyal and enlightened policy of the czar,has declared it his wish to pursue a render-ing execution of the treaty. The conduct ofthe Russian functionary in eastern Roumeliadistinctly tends to impress the people that theywill be united with Bulgaria, and even showsa disposition to furnish them with means forresisting thp establishment of a separate reg-

imen. Lord iiaiisbury cites in proof of theseassertions the fact that' the government ofeastern Roumelia is subordinate to the gov-ernment ot Bulgaria, and is, apparently, intended to remt:n so until the close ot theoccupation, thus making a transition to thenew regime as sudden and abrupt as possible.and decidedly tending to encourage a resistance to tne transirions; also tnat recruits iorthe militia are indiscriminately drawn from

autl Roumelia, while, according tothe treaty, the forces of the two provincesshould be disticct. 'Ihe British governmentcannot believe, considering the sentimentsthe esiperor has expressed, that these dispo-sitions are iu acccrdar ce with his will, andconsider that they should cease as oon aspos-ibl- The Rou'jiehan resistance to thetreaty cannot be succeosful, as it will have todeal with far superior forces, but it mightlead to a renewal ef the untold sufferingsendured in the late wsr The responsibilityot fostering an illusion which might lead tosuch consequences is very grave.

The Times, in a leading article, referringto the passage about superior forces, says:"It is imperative for the British governmentto make it plain that it will insist upon thefulfillment of the treaty. Upon this pointit is satisfactory to observe that Lord Salis-bury's dispatch is perfectly explicit "

A Pa; is correspondent says: "The motionto pass to the order of the day. thus shelvingthe impeachment scheme, in order to securethe support of a majority of the republicans,must be couched in such terms that the DeBroglie and Rochebout cabinets, while escap-ing tbe judgment of any formal tribunal,will be none the less condemned. Such anorderof the.day, it is thought, the right couldDot vote for; but it would receive the supportof a large majority of the republicans, andwould be adopted.

Terrible Buffering is com-mencing; shrieks and cries from thousandsare heard. Uouses are crashing by the scoreand in many cases carry their inmates withthem. God only knows what we shall do to-

night. There is no gas, the works being fif-teen feet under water. I fear we shall runshort of food. One boat was just going tosave a large house full of people when a fear-ful crash carried with it the whole livingfreight. The scene is simply heartrending.Over eighty thousand people are out of houseand home. Hundreds are drowning and thewater is still rising rapidly."

Szegedin is the second commercial town inHungary, and has been in imminent danger.the past week, of inundation from the riverTheiss, which flows through the town. Sev-eral large dykes protecting the back of thetown have burst, and the safety of the towndepends on the embankment of a railroad,to strengthen which all efforts are concen-trated.

Another dispatch from Szegedin, Hungary,says: "ihe last embankment ot the riverTheiss burst early this morning, causing im-mense destruction and, it is feared, gr?atloss of lite."THE APPREHENDED CATASTROPHE TOOK

It states that the removal ot theinhabitants is proceeding without disorder.So far only four corpses have been found.The dams are being cut in several places toallow the water to run off. No excesses havebeen reported, but precautions have beentaken for the protection of property.

ONE HUNDRED SQUARE MILES FLOODED.London. March 12. The Standard's Pesth

special says that one hundred square milesin the neighborhood of Szegedin are flooded,and the crops of the district lost. The gov-ernment has sent forty thousand florins forthe relief ot the inhabitants. The radicalsin the diet have violently attacked the gov-ernment for neglecting to take precautions toprevent the calamity.

special from Szegedin says: "Since the lasttelegram the water has risen in the town fivefeet. 1 he situation is becoming worse andworse. Sixty thousand persons are with-out roof to covet- - them. It is fearedthat the loss has been very great, and that itwill increase during this terrible night."The foregoing, coming directly from thespot, is probably more trustworthy thap thoofficial account previoijsl? received fromPesth.

OF AN ICE GORGE.Lock haven, March 12. The ice gorge,

four miles west of Lockhaven, gave way atten o'clock last night, carrying eveiythingbefjre it until it reached the Qieen Runrailroad bridge, which withstood the shock.The ice, passing on, reached here at eleveno'clock. The water rcse four feet, and car-ried the ice far up the banks along the cityfront. No serious damage was done in thiscity, but it is feared that the boom piershave sustained much damage. The damageat Queen Run and Farrandsville is veryheavy. A log house was demolished, andanother house was carried some distance andlodged against the mountain, the occupantsbarely escaping. This morning the Phila-delphia and Erie railroad company sent fivehundred men to the scene to clear the track.They expect by night to get trainsthrough. In many places both the track androadbed are washed away. Two culvertshave bee a washed out.

of the financial troubles of Archbishop Pur-ce- ll

cites that his brother, Edward Purcell, actingas his agent and representative, had in-

curred certain liabilities on his ac-

count; that he had conveyed certainproperty to him, to provide for the pay-ment of which Father Edward bad attemptedto do by deed of general assignment, but it ba-

ting contended that snch an assignment dis-criminated against his creditors and appli-cable only to the creditors of Edward Purcell,and wishing to make equal provision for all,he declares that all this indebtedness wascontracted by Father Edward, acting as hisagent, and be therefore makes a general assignment to John B.

Middleton, N. Y., March 12. The skel-eton of a man recently found in an aban-doned lead mine at Ellenvilie, Ulster county,which was being reopened, has been identi-fied as the remains of a telegraph operatornamed David Smith, who disappeared mys-teriously from that village in February, 1866.Smith was then twenty-tw- o years old, andwas supposed by his family to have left onaccount of a love affair. His mother, residingat Accord, Ulster county, has identified theclothing, and a medical examination of theskeleton disclosed a stiff joint in the hip.wnicn was the case with bmith. .Neitherwatch nor money was found with the re-mains, thongh Smith carried both. It isgenerally believed in Ellenvilie that Smithwas murdered. Rumor charges the crime toa dead man, whose home was near the minewhere the body was found. Just before hisdisappearance. Smith at a dance, had troublewith this man, whose name was JosephFlericker, who was of violent temper andcruel to his family. Three years ago Flericker became insane, and before being con-fined frequently visited the old mine, andpointing to the mine he would say: "Therehe goes! There he goes!" seeming to seesome one going down the shaft. He wastaken to the Willard asylum, at Ovid, Newxork, wnere be died. Remorse is supposedto have caused his insanity.

She claimsthat the cure was produced by the interven-tion of Providence, and brings with her aphysician's certificate to that effect. She isnow a strong convert to the efficacy of prayertheory. Miss Smith is a well-kno- younglady, a devoted church member, and hersuddenly changed physical condition is thewonder and talk of everyone who knew her."The aianhattan Havings Bank ResumedBusiness.
