THE BOUBBOM RSEAK 13 GSOBGIA. The break in the hoorbon radks in Georgia promisee to be successful beyond the expectations heretofore expressed. Sen* atoT Brown refuted to lead tbe movement, although his allegiance to the bourboos is by no means strcng. Stephens and Speer are independent, and Felton came within 800 votes of carrying his district agaiaat *tbe regular democratic nominee at tbe laet election. The independant movement is rapidly assuming Bhape, and will not' suffer for want fcf leaders when the contwt open?. The latest accwaion to ths independent ranks is Hon. Albert H. Cox, of the fourth congressional district. He lias served several terms in the legislature, and is considered the ablest man in his district. He announces himself aa a candidate for congress in a letter to the Douglaesville Star, of which the following is a part:
An eminent citizen, eminent
lot
virtues and
eminent for talents, has proposed to this party as part of a progressive public policy, that men of these times shall be put In charge of some of the afiaira of these times—young men, not Incumbered by the luggage of past issues. The old leaders have pronounced it a profound Southern policy to have old issues buried and old passions allayed, without ever dreaming that those very issues and passions axe embodt led in themselves and their careers, and in the old political formation and their records. The leaders have incumbered the party and the party incumbered the leaders, and both have failed to drive sectionalism out because both furnished the enemy with plausible proof, adroitly used, however false the conclusion, that tbe people of tbe South, not a unit before our war, but solidified by the war, still cling to Ore dangerous dogmas and follow the battle*teiten and council-foiled leaders of tbe old regime.
The policy stated proposes an unincumbered party and unincumbered leaders to forwaid our destinies. It is plain that there Is reasoning for the policy, and how is that reasaning met? Out of respect for the young men of Georgia, if jaot for the propouad#r, it might be met, if met it oan be, by counter reasoning. It is not by denouncing it as a hybrid, with all the covert Insinuation contained In the words, and is a graceful Teturn for constant fiascos and- faithful fighting under wavering generals. If the young men of Georgia will go en masse into this movement they can control It to noble ends for their country and the future. Let each one ask himself, is it not a solemn duty he owes to the people? They lack no courage. They need nothing but the conviction that it is wise and patriotic. If they do this, what is dubbed as a "hybrid" may redouud to great good. They will not lose as much for their people as has been lest The ell leadership has not left enough in this country in which those who follow can possibly bankrupt as largely as they.
The district in which Mr. Cox lives is not so overwhelmingly democratic as to prevent him from carrying it. It is composed of twelve counties, with a total vote at the last election of 17,222. The incumbent is Hogh Buchanan, who received 9,998 votes, against 7,224 for the independent democratic candidate. At the laet election in four of the nine districts three w^re independent democratic candidates, and when the time for another election rolls around it will not be surprising if the independent movement sweeps the state.
1JCBEA8E OF F0BEI6K IXSUBANCB. The foreign insurance companies are steadily incretsingin number in this country, while a number of home companies have recently retired from business. The matter is attracting considerable attention in insurance circles. The president of one of the English companies gives as a reason that "Americans are exceedingly fond of English companies they like them because they paid up quickly and made no difficulty about it if claims were fair." American managers do not accept the reaeoning as true. They truly say that the home companies settle their losses as promptly and with aa much justice ss do their foreign competitors. Whatever the reason may be, the foreign companies have had a remarkable increase in their business in this country during the last six years. In 1874 eleven foreign oompnnies had branch offices in this country, and assets amounting to $11,416,156. Oa January first, 1881, the number had doubled, and the assets had increased to $26,492,496, and the amount of business transacted by these companies ha increased proportionately. In the state of New York alone in 1873 the American branches of foreign insurance companies assumed lisks amounting to $389,583,869, which sum had increased in 1880 to $697,865,016. During the above mentioned period the number of American companies reporting to the New Yotk state insurance department, decreased from 176 to 120, and their risks in that state fell oS $461,002,945. In the one state, in 1880, twentytwo foreign companies insured property valued at $698,035,016 while the amount covered by 120 American compasies was $1,863,459,350. The business of these foreign companies has, of course, increased proportionately in all the other states of the Union to which they have extended their business. So tar as we know none of them do any life insurance on this side cf the Atlantic, although many of them are engaged in both branches in Europe.
Senator Voorhees still adheres to his views on the tariff question. In a recent interview he said "It waa not Hendricks th»t defeated the democratic ticket. Ii was that detestable platform. Tariff fcr revenue only wa« tbe death of us—not only in Indiana but throughout the country. Three weeks before the election we had Indiana by 10,000 majority, and four letters, O S-L-Y, killed us. It was an unguarded point in our lines, and our opponents, like good generals, charged in force where we were unprotected and defeated us. It waa a simultaneous assanlt, made everywhere at the same time, and our votes fell off by thousands. I saw this as plainly as anybody. There should be no such thing as tariff for revenue only. With a sound protective plank we could have carried Indians, English und all." Mr. Voorhees ia a very 50ol epublican on the tariff question, but we doubt that his party will adopt hia views* If not, what then

Beturaing Sanity After Forty Years* Burlington (Vt.) Free Press, Jan. 20. A curious ease is reported from Butland county. Horace-Hotchkiss died receatly at the age of 70 yeare. When about 27 years old he had a severe attack of brain fever, from the effects of which he became insane, in which condition he remained until within about fifteen hours of his death. He then suddenly became sane, after forty years of derangement, and asked his wife to sing. She waa unable t3 sing, but repeated a hjmn with which she was familiar, and to her surprisejhe repeated it after her as coherently and intelligently and with as much feeling as if his mind had never wandered. He repeated one or two other kymns, and then became unconscious, and remained so until he died.

Bridge-Burning Laborers, MILWAUKEE, Jan. 27.—A Republican special from Hudson, Wis,, states that the great bridge at the junction, near Reagee, was fired Wednesday night by the infuriated mob thrown out of employment there by the collapse of the Air Line Road, but the structure was saved by timely assistance. A call was made on the Goveanor. fot troops to protect the property, but assurance was sent the panic-stricken men this noon that transporation would be sent them, which had the eflect to appease them to a great extent The saloons have all been closed, and the men being leaa under the influence of liquor, are more quiet, and no father destruction of property is now apprehended. The bridge in question is the property of the Omaha Company, but the Norwegian* and Swedes, who cao talk but little English, have got it into their heads that this company is in some way responsible for their losses, and seek redress from them.

No. 19, of the 221 ult^ to you, and upon a more carefnl fxamination of the protocol transmitted in vour dispatch of the 5th of October, signed by yourself on behalf of tbe United States,and Senor Galoet, Minister of Foreign Affair* on behalf of Peru, for the cession of a naval "and coaling station to the United States at Chimbote, I find it difficult to discover what substantial advantages would be gained by this aoTenment in the treat ©1 its ac
ceptance of the proposed agreement. I have alreadv had occasion to remark that 1 he time was not opportune for any negotiation for a eotiVSsstc&.irom a power redoeed to such extremity" as that in which Peril ataacU lo-dav, and to call your attention to other grave considerations which should outweigh any apparent temptation to our sense of immediate self-interest in aeking or accepting a concession of special privileges in that country. But the advantages offered by this protocol grow more shadowy as its provisions are more closely examined. The first article concedca to the United States the right to establish a coaling station al Chimoote, and the second immediately adds that this shall not be exclusive that Peru reserves the right to concede the same to any other friendly power which may solicit them. The third subjects to Peruvian law whatever land might be acquired by the United States for the purpose of a coaling station, and by the fourth article Pern has the right to withdraw all that is conceeded by the agreement, whenever she sees fit, upon one year's notice. A naval and coaling station on tbe South Pacific coast, carefully chosen with the aid of the professional knowledge of those specially qualified to determine its capacity to anBwer the wants of our naval ships, and ever which we might exercise proper and necessary jurisdiction with a secure tenure, would be of undoubted value, and this Government, at a fitting time, may be willing to negotiate upon fair terms for such a privilege. In the! protocol presented I observe that you have, with perfect justice, offered no consideration to Peru for this smiable concession, which would only enable us to enjoy on her shores the same privileges which we substantially possess to-day. and which she is ready to sxtecd to every other power with which ehp is hotin actual war. It has the iperit, at least, of innocent diplomacy. Nothing was given and nothing was' tsken. While your negotiation of this protocol may be regarded^ as an error of judgment involving no serious or lasting consequences, I regret that another proceeding, which you report in the same dispatch, is of a graver nature, arid I cannot pasH it by without the most decided expression of disapprobation. You have commenced an extraordinary negotiation with President Calderon in regard to a railroad company of which you, while American Minister, propose to become tbe trustee or intermediary, the road to bo ultimately turned over to an American company—an unfiaished road, which you say has already cost $9,000,000. The principal terms of the arrangement will be the payment to the Peruviaq Government of $1,000,000 in money, and the same in paid up stock to clear up all existing encumbrances, for which turns they concede the right to construct and operate the road for twentyfive years after it is finished. You consider the grant very valuable and the possibilities of the company very large The special advantage which the United States may derive from these possibilities is that the price to be charged for coal carried over the- road may be limited, as the railroad runs to Chimbote, and the railroad arrangement is a sequel to and parf of the plan for a coaling station there. 1 have learned of this negotiation with profound astonishment and regret. It is hardly conceivable that under any circumstances whatever your Government would consent that its Minister should accept such a position, but^for the Minister himself, without instruction and without permission, to assume charge cf an extensive Snatic al system for the purchase, completion and transfer of a railroad, in utter disregard of every rule of precedence and propriety that should govern the conduct of a representative of the couatry, at a time like the present, when the ruin of Peruvian interests and the embarrassment ot that Government in its almost bo eless attempts to contrive methods of raising money have given birth to so many speculative scheme*, and filled the press •with accounts of contending companies and their enticing proposal?, the direct participation of an American Minister in a plan for the reorganization of a railway wreck can not fail to lead to misapprehension 6a the part of other Governments, and distrust of the United States and its Minister, whose motives and proceedings would be viewed in the most unfavorable light. Whether the grant be very valuable, or tbe possibilities of the railroad very large, or the profit of the speculation great or not, are questions of little moment eooipared lo those higher considerations of national interest and dignity which should govern every act and every word in ths intercourse and dealings of this Nation with others, as conducted bv a representative clothed with its power and charged with its interests and its honor. The construction of a railroad and the cheapening of coal may ba laudable enterprises in themiielvts, but this Government does not find its envoys abroad to undertake then?. It is inconsistent with the first duty of a diplomatic agent to assume such functions, and however disinterested or innocent might be his design it would inevitably awaken eurmhes prejudicial to his standing, and would impair, if not destroy, his influence with his colleagues nnd with the people of tbe country to which he was accredited. With some relief I note that this negotiation was not wholly completed at the time of writing your dispatch. I presume it was broken off bv the arrest of President Calderon, but" I would be better pleased to learn that upon mature reflection the impropriety of engaging in such a project, and undertaking functions so incompatible with your representative character, had occurred to your own mind, and that you had abandoned it altogether. If on the contrary you have actually endeavored to Carl-y it out by any compact or convention with the Peruvian Government, you wili at once notify it that the project is disapproved and will not be ratified, and you will abstain from taking any further steps in the name of ths United States tending to the acquisition or control of the railroad, or interference in any way whatever in that enterprise, so long as you area Minister from the United States.

HOW HUBLBUr WAS SAT DOWN CPOS. WASHINGTON, January 27.—The following is ihe pert of "th$ correspondence concerning Chili afaij Peril Jfrhi'ch has been fnadiB public. The Hurlbut letter was sent from here to the New York Herald, and appeared this morning: LEGATION, OF THE UNITED STATES,)
LKIKA, Peru, Oct. 5,1881,11 p. m. SIB I have jnet consummated an agreement made, with the Caldcron Government on the 20th of September for a grant to the United Stites for a naval aDd coaling station at Chimbote. The concisions pet forth in the protocol are not so strong as I woyld like to have obtained, but tb£y aia all that the President alone, without the approval of Congress, could give. I look upon it, in the relative position of the two ccuptrief", ar, giving us should it be accepted by you, a very vainable loothold which can hereafter be rendered more cxclutive in matters cf jurisdiction. There is no question ucder Peruvian law hut that the act of President Caldercn is as effective- in transferring the rights as if he were the regularly elected President, and, looking to the future, I can see great poa-» eibilinca in this grant. Chimbote Bay by far the brst on tie Pacific coast, and the coal mines in tbe interior, to which it is an entrance by of a railroad under construction, will furniah ample supplies of a good quality, cf incxhaus'.ible quantity, and at low prices. The protocol and approval of the same by President Caldferon are enclosed with this dispatch. I have not had time to elaborate (his question by this mail, but will do so by tbe next. I have also, at my own risk, concluded with President Calderon an arrangement by which the unfinished line of railway will be turned over by tbe Government to me, as intermediary or trustee, to transfer the same to an American company to complete, develop and operate it. By so doing it is easy to limit such company in the price to be charged the United States to $5 per ton, and yet leave a large margin. The possibilities for such a company are very large, as the couatry to be developed by the road is singularly rich in mines of metals and in agriculture. The grant will include the completed and incomplete portions of the road, on which the Government haa already spent over $9,--000,000, and the whole work can be completed now for $10,000,000. Tbe principal terms will be the payment to the Government of Peru of $1,000,000 in money and the same sum in paid-up stock to clear off all the existing encumbrances, for which sums they cede a clear right to construct and operate the road for twenty-five years after it is finished, without rent or liability to account. At the end of that period the Peruvian Government haB the option to buy the road by paying the principal of the cost to the company, or to lease it for twenty-five years more at 25 per cent, of the net profits. The papers cannot be ready before next mail, and will contain other exhibits and privileges which I cannot now enumerate. 1 have determined to accept this trust, so as to save this very valuable grant from any possible chance of being lost to our couBtrr.
I am, sir, your obedient servsnt, -f JAMES G. BLAINE. BLAINE AND GRANVILLE, Granville, in a letter to Hoppin.said: "The British Government rely upon the observation of jail engagements of the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty."
In response Blaine wrote Lowell, Nov. 29th, 1881, saying: "I regret Happin should not have advised me by telegraph of the purport cf his Lordships reply, as it would have enabled me to present, tne arguments of my despatch of the 9th inst. in a more specific form, as tho meeting Of a positive issue rather than aa generally dealing with a subject which for thirty years has been regardedjin'butone light by the public opinion of the United States." Blaive then gives a lengthy summary of historical objections to the Olayton-Bul-wer treaty and the veiy decided differences of opinion' between the two governments to which its interpretation has givon rise, that the terms of the treaty are mutually vexatious and that tho object of the government is to free tho treaty from embarrassing features.
ILLINOIS BKPBESKNTATTVSe INCREASED.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.—The House Committe on Census virtually agreed to increase the number of representatives from the State of Illinois from 30 to 21, which will make the total number»of Representatives 320 instead of 319 as proposed by the McCord bill.

The census office has just published a report on the production* of bituminous coal, from which it appears that the total amount mined in the United State* during the census year 1880 was 42,420,580 tons, of which total 29,842,240 tons were produced in the Appalachian coal field. Alleghany county, Pennsylvania, furnished over one tenth and the states of Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ohio ^nearly thrco fourths of the entire prodcet. The average price per ton at the mine in *80 was $1.22, while fe '79 it was tl.92. At a cost of 88 cents an average ot 4,315 3-100 tons was raised per man, and 6.88 per cent, of tho year's working time, or about twenty days rer man, was"lost in strikes.
Sufficient information was gathered to justify the assumption that the exhausted fields form but a yety small portion of tbe available coal land. Attention is called to the fact that although the valtle of the product has fallen wages hate not correspondingly decreased, and thp totals prove a gain of nearly a third of a million of dollars annually in favor of labor. The anthracite product was 28,646,9% tons, nearly all furnished by the State of Pennsylvania, making the total product of the country for the census year 71,067,576 tons. England produced 146,818,122 tons in the same year.
DIVEDING DAKOTA.
The sub-Committee of the House Committee on Territories, to whom was referred the bill to divide Dakota into two Territories, have agreed by a vote of four to one to the bill and at a meeting of the full committee to-morrow will report the measure witb a favorable recommendation. The member who cast the negative vote is DtJgrd, of New York, who regards the bill as a Republican party measure, but he admits that tho full committee will undoubtedly take a favorable action and thinks the bill will certainly pass the us

TELLER'S BREAK.
WASHINGTON, January 27.—Teller, in discussing the Sherman funding bill this afternoon) indulged itl some criticism upon the Republican side of the Senate. He caid a majority of the Republican Senators were seeking^ to perpetuate the National debt in the intereat of the National banks that a majority of tbe Republican Senators were wedded to the National bank system, and were looking out for its interests. He also condemned the present protective tariff, and said it waa not auch aa the people desired. Teller said he did not like to fly in the face of his party that he was voting here with the Democrata on these tjueations, but he was .raised in the Democratic faith, and when that party failed to represent bis sentiments he had the courage to leave-it, and he was not going to be bound by any party ties now to vete against his convictions.
Senator Sherman denied that he was seeking to perpetuate the National debt, and thus continue the burdens of taxation. He was trying to save the people a million dolUrs a year, and this was not in the interest of bondholder*.
