Says the Montezuma WeeJfciy: “Some mean, unprincipled, low-lived wretch, who would like to glory in the misfortune of others, attempted to fire the store house occupied by Hartsfield A Bro. on the night of December 20. Combusti bles were placed on a dry portion of the build ing. and a lighted candle thrown among them, but they failed to take flre.and before a second attempt could be made someone put in an ap pearance, and the wretch took to his heel*.

George Mathis, who has been running a car riage and wagon shop in Montezuma for several years, managed to fall in the clutches of the law last week, and while under arrest, he con cluded that the town was getting too hot for him, and he would bid it a final adieu. The .Tontezuma Weekly saj s “he started off with At. Hartsfield, the Constable, r.t bis heels; but Cleoige was the most agile of foot, and made good his escape. This is a good riddance, and we hope he will never show his unwelcome countenance on our streets again.'’ Mr. Edge, the mail rider on the Crawford route, informs u-\“ says the Cos umbus Tiroee, “that last week during the cold spell, a farmer living beyond Crawford started to Columbus with a four mule team drawing four bales of cotton, and when he reached Watoola creek found it frozen over. Not suppos ng the ice thick enough to impede the progress of hia tesin he drove in the ford, but the ice was thicker than he first thought, and the wagon stuck. The nudes floundered around in it for sometime, and it was with the greatest diffi culty they were gotten out alive, and then not till they were thoroughly chilled and consider ably bruise Jby the ice. The wagon and cot ton had not oven moved up to Tuesday even ing.” Hawkiusviile ltisratch: “A couple of young men of Hawkinsviltc settled the ownership of a double-barrel gua in a novel way on Satur day eight last. The gun was won in a raflis— the two young men being joint owners in the chance that won it. One of the men proposed thot they should go down to the river at a shallow point, and "wade into it, and the one that waded the furthest or held out the longest should take the gun. The water was freezing cold, and th© n.argin of the stream was lined with i -e. and the icicles were pendant from every limb, from every bush. Partially divest ing themselves of their clothing, they entered t'ne wa'er and waded out. One of them went until ihe water reached his armpits, but his companion went a littie further, and was al lowed to come out aud take the gun. The report that Wiley Chambliss, a well known farmer of Berrien county, was cut to death a few days ago at AUtpaha in a difficulty with a young man named Wright Ellis, turns out to be incorrect.'TheHawkinsville T>isv” Recommend ed—A Pontifical Letter Excite ment iu Tralee. London, January 7.—ln the House of Commons this evening Mr. Forster, Chief Secretary for Ireland, replying to Mr. Jas. Oakley, Home Ruler, member for Roscom mon, justified the recent prohibitions for Land League meetings. Mr. O’Kelly moved an adjournment of the House, apparently with the intention to re-:ort to obstruction. He protested against the illegality of the prohibitiona. Mr. Thomas Textton, Home Rule mem ber for county Sligo, and other members, followed, protesting against the tyranny and shackling of the freedom of speech of those struggling for their lives. Mr. O’Kelly’s motion to adjourn was re jected by a vote of 30i to 38. Mr. Forster, Chief Secretary for Ireland, replying to a question put by Right Hon. Mr. Gibson, stated that one hundred and fifty three persons were under police protectoln in Ireland, and there had been 2,573 agrarian outrages up to the end of December. Debate on the address in reply to the speech from the throne was resumed. Mr. Parnell charged conspiracy against the good name of Ireland. He defended the action of the Land League, which he de clared had always reprobated outrages. Mr. Parnell concluded by moving hi* amendment to the address declaring that the peace of Ireland cannot be promoted by suspending the constitutional lights of the people. Mr. Forster said Mr. Farnell must have known that the result of his speeches would be the commit:al of outrages. Messrs. O’Donnell and O’Connor rose to a question of order, when the Speaker ruled that Mr. Forster was in order. After a strong speech from Mr. Gibson, attacking the government for its dilatori ness, and denouncing the Land League, the debate was adjourned. LAWLESSNESS IN IRELAND. A dispatch from Dublin to the Times says: “Tbe prosecution of the indicted Land Leaguers, and the prospects of repressive m-asures in Parliament, have cot had any quieting effect upon the lawless classes in tne west of Ireland. A bailiff and bis wife, and tho wife and eon o! a tenant, were re cently seriously assaulted at Ba linamore, county Leitrim, by parties of armed men. For the last month no petty sessions have been held at Ballinamore, but TUE LEAGUE COURT sits regular, and its authority is widely acknowledged. The three land commis sioners, in their report sent to the govern ment, recommend tho adoption of the “three F’s” (fair rents, free sales and fixity of tenure). They admit the principle of free contract, but intimate that practicability of such freedom does not exist. They propose that the rent be fixed by two arbitrators, one representing the tenant and one representing the land court, with power to summon au umpire if necessary, and that the rent, when the rent is fixed, is to remain unchanged for two years. They would take away TUE POWER OF EVICTION except for non-payment of rent. Subletting or waste-occupying tenants are not to be allowed to contract themselves out of the act, but nou-occupying tenants are to be al lowed to do so, subject to certain limita tions, and limited owners should be enabled to sell the amount of the annua! payment, not to exceed the present rent. The com missioners recommending the adoption of the ‘three F’s’ are Lord Bess'oorough, Baron Dows, and Mr. Wra. Shaw, M. P. The dis senters are Mr. Kavanaghe and the O’Con nor Don.” A PONTIFICAL LETTER. The London Dai'y yews says: “We re informed that on Tuesday the Pope ad dressed a Pontifical letter to the Archbishop of Dublin, for immediate publication, in which, while sympathizing with the Dish Catholics, and desiring an improvement in their condition, he expects them to do noth ing contrary to the law, and declares that Ireland will more readily obtain what she desires from the government, in tbe justice and political ability of which he expresses every confidence, if she keeps within the strict limits of legality. The Pope urges the Bishops to take measures in order that the Irish people, at such a critical period, may act in accordance with t' tse expecta tions.” THE RECENT ARREST*. Tralee, January 7.—lt has been decided to bold an examination of the officers of the Tralee branch of the Land League ar rested yesterday in jail, as a riot is feared if they are taken through town to the court. The solicitor and witnesses refused to attend an examination in town in tbe present state of intense popular excitement. THE COURT DESERTED. The Court of Queen’s Bench in Dublin to day is utmost deserted by the public. The reading of notes made by the police of the speeches delivered by Brennan arid Nally was continued until the court ad journed. BRUTALLT MURDERED. Dublin, January 7.—A caretaker named Collins has been brutally murdered near Parsons, in tbe county of Louth. No arrests have been made. THE LAND BILL INADEQUATE, The Pull Mall Gazette this evening says there are grave misgivings that the govern ment land bill will prove inadequate. FINANCE AND COMMERCE. Tbe New York Slock market Strong and Active—Advance In Panama Share* —Tbe English Grain and Provision market*—Liverpool Cot ton Brokers’ Circular. New York, January 7.—The stock mar ket was characterized by strength and activity throughout almost the entire day, and with the exception of a very brief period of depression at the first board, the general tendency was in the direction of a higher range of values. The highest prices generally were current in the final jalee, and the market closed strong at an advance,as compared with the closlag quota tions of yesterday, ranging to 3%, the latter in Western Union. Coal shares, Cen tral Pacific, Hannibal and--St. Joe, Union Pacific, Denver and Rio Grande and I, B. <fc W r were also prominent In the upward movement. Panama sold up to as against 212 at the l6t previous sale. Total ea’es 42,900 shares. London, January 7. —The Manchester Guardian, in its commercial article this morning, says; The market is again quiet, j Inquiry is lets than earlier in the week, though there is still a fair amount in some i directions. Prices, however, are perfectly j steady, and the position of sellers is so strong inconsequence of the extent of their engagements that they are perfectly uncon cerned regarding any little slacking off in demand.” In Mincing Lane during the past week the market for sugar has been dull and sales have been very small. The Clyde mar ket was slow, but prices were not lower. In coffe tine coloury qualities were firm, in cluding plantation Ceylon, but some gray ish sorts were a shilling lower. Jamaica was easier. The leading Liverpool grain circular says: “The wheat markets though steady are un improved. Cargoes off coast and for arrival are difficult to sell, even at spot concession. Since Tuesday wheat and corn have been firmly held. Business was moderate to day, and wheat was in limited demand at Tues day’s prices. In flour there was a better inquiry at fuller rates. Corn was in improv ed request and advanced a half-penny.” Liverpool, January 7. —This week’s cir cular of the Liverpool Cotton Brokers Asso ciation says: “The market for cotton, which was firm on Thursday of last week, re opened on Monday last with extensive business. Since then the sales have been good and prices have advanced. American was in good demand and prices gen erally advanced Bea island was in small request at unchanged rates. Futures, which were firmer on Tnureday of last week, reopened on Mon- j day at rather higher prices, which continu ed to harden up till Wednesday, when they showed an advance of %to 5 32d. Since then the market has been weak, prices fluc tuating, and closed with the 3 32d. of an advance lost.” Wrecked by the Ice. Cincinnati, January 7.—The steamer Eldorado was wrecked by tbe moving ice at Fortamoutb, Ohio, this morning and sunk. The river risen suddenly above, and everything indicates a general break up within twenty-four hours, which the boat men fear will cause great damage. LETTER FROM TALLAHASSEE. Legislature Convened Procedings iu Senate aud Assembly— Inaugu ration Ceremonies Gov. Blox h Jin’s Address-Great Enthusiasm —Tbe Three Pillars of tbe Admin istration Display of Soldiery Grand Ball—Seuate Committees— Item*. Tallahassee, Fla., January^. —At 12 m. yesterday the Senate and Assembly were culled to order. Thirty o£ the thirty-two Senators were present, and seventy-four of the seventy-six members of the Assembly. The oath ot office was administered to Lieu tenant Governor Bethel by Judge D. S. Walker, i ot this circuit. Governor Bethel expressed his acknowledgments of the honor shown him by the people of I loritU in a brief address hiehly appropriats to the occasion, and delivered lu a graceful and eloquent manner. He is a gentle man of fine personal appearance, and gives J every promise of being a most excellent pre i siding officer. In the House. Hon. J. J. Harris, of Orange county, was sworn as Speaker. Mr. Harris is a native of Georgia, and a graduate of Emory College. He is one of the half dozen old members who have been re-elected to the pre sent Assembly, and was recognized in the Leg slature of ‘79 as one of the most useful and talented members of that body. He pre j sides with ease and dignity,and displays a com j piete knowledge of the art of managing de liberative assemblies. Thirteen of the old Senators held over and were re elected, while the House is composed almost entirely of new material, only six or seven of the former members having been re turned. At 2 p. m. both houses met in joint session in the Assembly Hall for the purpose of witness ing the inauguration ceremonies. The large room was literally packed with spectators. A great many were finable to obtain admission, and general regret was expressed that the original intention of having the proceedings held in front of the capitol had been inter j rupted by the severe weather prevailing, i Hundreds of the fair daughters of Florida lent the brilliancy of their charms to the interest ing occasion, while the handsome uniforms of the various military companies blended happi'y with the more sober costumes of the citizens. In a few moments. Governor Bloxham, ac companied by Governor Drew, the members of the Cabinet and a large retinue of distin guished dignitaries, made his appearance. As soon as his well known face became visible, those old walls of the capitol echoed and re echoed to such a spontaneous and long con tinued shout of applause as they never heard 1 before. It was a genuine and hearty expres sion of the position which Governor Bloxham holds in the confidence and affections of th© people of Florida, and must have been ex tremely gratifying to the recipient of this popular ovation. His inaugural address, which I hope you will publish in full, was eminently worthy of the speaker and occasion. Governor Bloxham's j reputation as an orator is generally known and widely admitted, but he never appeared to better advantage than when about to assume his present responsibilities. Surrounded by the people who had known him from boyhood, and who had watched his ascent up the heights j of fame and honor with pride and gratification, encircled by men prominent in all professions and avocations, begirt by the chosen repres?n ytatives of the people from every portion of the State, the time, place and circumstances all I combined in the utterance of one of his hap piest efforts. 'ihe following extract from his address de fines his future policy, and points out the pur poses of his administration: “Looking alone to the interest, welfare and prosperity of our State, it will be my pleasure as well as my duty to bend every energy to promote her future progress aud growth. That future rests, to a large extent,xvith her peo ple. To secure its full fruits to ourselves and our posterity, we must invite a healthy inuni gration; develop our internal resources by securing proper transportation; and educate the rising generation. These are the three great links in the grand chain of progress upon which we can confidently rely for our future growth and prosperity.” Immigration, safe and speedy transportation and a system of general education, are the tbi ee pillars upon which the future growth and prosperity of Florida depend. These secured, her onward progress is assured and rapid, and her strides to power, wealth and greatness will be those of a giant. Governor Bloxham’s allusions to the services of Governor Drew, and to the successful and efficient manner with which he had conducted the affairs of the State, were deservedly just and proper, and elicited a splendid round of applause. Governor Drew has worn his offi cial robes most aoiy and honestly, and can retire with the proud csnsciousness of having well and faithfully fulfilled his duties. Afier the oath of office had been adtninis- I tered to the Governor-elect, by Judge D. S. Walker, in a solemn and impressive manner, the thunder of cannon announced that W. D. Bloxham was Governor of the Sta‘e of Florida. The Light Artillery and l ight Infantry of Jacksonville, the Guards of Suwannee, "the Guards of Jefferson, the Governor's Guards and Artillery of Leon, were present and pre sented a flue appearance. These companies are well officered and show great proficiency in tactics. At night a grand ball, in honor to Governor Bloxham and his affable and accomplished wife, was given in the capitol building. The Assembly Hall was brilliantly lighted and tastefully decorated. Although outside the wind was blowing fiercely and the rain falling heavily, the scene within was one of gayety and social enjoyment. Dancing was continued to a late hour, and joy and pleasure reigned supreme. Speculations as to the Cabinet officers con tinue to bo circulated. Those wired you a day or two since tyipear to be generally credited. It is-aid that Governor Idoxham will announce the names of his official family next Monday. The weather for several days has been in tolerably disagreeable. Mud, rain and gloomy skies prevail, and wheezing, coughing, sneezing and hoarseness have become epidemic. The State papers are well represented, and their readers will be fully posted as to the pro j ceedings during the first week of the session. Nothing of importance was transacted in either house this morning. The following standing committees were appointed by the President of the Seuate: Judiciary Committee —Mr. Niblack, Chair- I man; Messrs. Malory, Allen, Thompson, Bry son.

Tbe weather is bright and pleasant, and all are rejoicing in the change. W. 11. B. Havana Cigar Factory Destroyed. Havana, January 7. A fire last n’ght totally destroyed the large cigar manufacto ry, “La Exception,” of Jose Gener. Of the persons who slept in the building seven perished in the flames. The manufactory was insured in English companies for £40.000. A well dressed gentleman found him self in a very embarrassing situation yesterday. He had left his money at home, and not a nickel or a car ticket could he find in his clothing. He was about to leave the car, when a perfect stranger, with a sinister cast of coun tenance, tendered the gentleman a nicHpl, who gladly accepted it and dropped it into the box. The gentleman then shook his unknown benefactor by the hand, thanking him for the confidence and ac commodation, and asking for his address, so as to return the money. “Never mind,” responded the generous man, fiercely, “it’s a counterfeit, anyhow. The street car company will make that hellhound of a driver redeem it. They will dock his wages. I’ve got no spite at you. He is the scoundrel I am after. He has trifled with the affections of my sister, but this will show him what sort of a man I am when mv blood is up.”— y. 0. Timet. The widespread fame ot Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup is justly won by its own merits, and the reputation it has gained has been se cured by Its universal use. jnß It i ROSCOE’S GOOSE COOKED. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF BLAINE’S COMING ELEVATION. A Terrific Onslaught by Dona viatt on the New York Senator. Washington Special to the Chicago Times. Some of Gen. Garfield’s Mentor friends are of the opinion that Gen. Garfield had nothing to do with the present raid that is beiDg made upon Conkling ir. New York. Mere proximity to the President-elect is not the finest basis in the world for absolute In formation. It is a fact, that Gen. Garfield has made one re quest about these New York appointments that clearly indicates his po sition toward them all. Among the applicants for the appointment to suc ceed Stewart L. Woodford, preseut United States District Attorney for the Southern dbtrict of New York, is oue Colonel Sheppard, who has acquired promi nence in New York State politics by hia fighting Conkling. General Garfiehi has requested that Colonel Sheppard be ap pointed, and there is no doubt that his name will be sent into the Senate at au early day. President Hayes himself has not been auxious to make these anti Conkling appointments. He has feit great delicacy about seizing upon those positions which properly belong to the next administration to fiil, and had he not been certain that he was acting In accordance with the desires of General Garfield, no action upon them would be taken this winter. Secretary Evarts,wbo is tbe President’s confidential adviser in all doubtful matters, has been mainly instru mental in deciding upon energetic action in these New York appointments. He has seen his opportunity to score a most effect ive point on his ancient enemy, Conkling, and as a shrewd tactician he knows that now is the time to secure the confirmations. Beyond this it is enough to know that MR. BLAINE IS TO BE PREMIER of the coming administration, and if any one thinks that Mr. Conkling will get very much from an administration where Mr. Blaine is the principal adviser, he must be a very credulous child of nature. A very prominent Senator to-night, in discussing this New York phase of the situation, said everything depends on Mr. Blaine’s atti tude. If he should be iu favor of these offices going over to the next administra tion, there would be no trouble. If one can imagine Mr. Blaine’s meeting with Mr. Conkling in asking to have nomina tions hang up in committee rooms, then one could predict their failure. Otherwise not. But Mr. Blaine’s being in favor of the confirmations, Conkling could not muster a corporal’s guard against them. Blaine has been given by Gen. Garfield to understand that when he enters the Cabinet be shall be Secretary of State In the full acceptance of the word; that he shall be the principal adviser of the President, and be considered in every question of policy of the incoming powers. General Garfield himself is supposed to be not fond of rough and-tumble lighting. Mr. Blaine is. No man has ever done more for Gen. Garfield than has Mr. Blaine. The IMMENSE ENEBGT AND FIERCE COURAGE of the Maine Senator will form a strong backing to any policy that General Garfield may desire to pursue. The two are near friends —men who have in the past consult ed with each other on a thousand and one incidents of their Congressional career. From the day when Mr. Blaine took Gen. Garfield by the hand in tbe gloomy times of the Credit Mobilier exposure, the closest friendship has existed between them. Gen. j Garfield has always been more than grate ful. With Mr. Blaine in the position of Secretary of State, he would practically be President so far as the mere wield ing of power is concerned. Blaine’s am bitious spirit demands change. The dull life of the Senate is enervating him. In the House he was a central figure, where the eyes of the country rested admiringly upon him. Now be no longer is a figure in the public eye, and is losing ground. The other day he sat down by the side of a Senatorial friend, and asked him to tell him frankly what he thought of his going into Garfield’s Cabinet. This Senator said to him “Blaine, yofi have nothing to gain here in the Senate. You had much better be a prominent figure under the new ad ministration, for IF YOU WANT TO BE PRESIDENT you will have to wait for some time. If Garfield’s administration is a success he will surely succeed himself. Eight years of power as his chief adviser is the next best thing to being President.” It Is this belief that has induced Mr. Blaine to resign his seat in the Senate, which he will do shortly before the 4th of next March. This will give Messrs. Hale and Frye two places ju the Senate. It is now thoroughly under stood why Mr. Blaine is so intimate with the Southern leaders. As chief adviser of the new administration, he is nego tiating with them for a real Soutfiern policy. Such men as Lamar, Joe Brown and Ransom are ready to meet him more than half way. Mr. Blaine is plotting to day a brilliant stroke of dividing the solid Bouth, and from the surface indications there ia no doubt that the new Garfield ad ministration will capture the independent and progressive element in the South. There is to be no special war made upon the stal warts. Mr. Blaine is himself too good a stalwart for that, but Mr. Conkling himself is to cut a very small figure during the next four years. Gen. Garfield, as has been here tofore stated in the Times, is very sore over the New York Senator’s early position in the canvass, and his supercilious support, when it did come, was only in the nature of another affront. THE DEMAND OF TUE STALWARTS that Mr. Blaine should be returned from the canvass in Ohio, in order to permit Mr. Cockling to appear as a grand central figure, will be repaid with interest by tbe new premier. Doun Platt, who is one of Gen. Garfield’s most intimate friends, has an edi torial on Lord Roscoe which is to-day the sensation of the tows. This editorial is as follows: This scandal, although affecting a husband and wife widely known, and once leading lights in tbe fasliionableworld, would lose its interest in tbe proverbial nine days, Mrs Grundy to the contrary notwithstanding, were it not that the central figure is a tremendous swell of the po litical world. The fact is, all right minded, sound hearted people would hasten to forget the painful matter but for this central figure. Wm. Sprague has a past that endears him to the popular heart. He was a gallant soldier during the late war, and as a Henator, although a millionaire, he marked his efforts as a law maker by sympathy withandanefforttobenefit the labor of the country, and he is tho only man of that grave body, through all time since its organization, who has left us a speech con densed Into a sentence. He did this when he said: “There is nothing MORE CRUEL, DESPOTIC AND SELFISH than a million dollars, unless it be a million and a half.” Mrs. Sprague is the daughter ol one of our greatest men. She is what is left of Salmon P. Chase, and the beautiful, charming, and accomplished Kate Chase. The men whose vulgar tongues and dirty mouths are noisy with her poor name are, some of- them, men who haTe been seen speaking in her presence with bated breath and awkward humility, as if in the presence of a Queen, crowned by nature with foveliness, as by right divine, with power born through many genera tions of kingly lineage. The fall of these wo would make a'l men who respect their mothers i and love their children turn sorrowfully j away with closed mouths to wipe it all out, as something too painful for human thought, but for the brazen-faced wretch who is the sole cause of all this shame. God might have made A MORE DESPICABLE WRETCH THAN ROSCOE CONgLING, but he never did. There have been wickeder men. but never one who covered his wicked ness with such meanness and cowardice. These words are net written in the impatience of anger. They are selected and printed advised- i ly. and reflect the feeling of all men, even the miserable dependents who run whooping after this creature for the moldy bread his polMbal favor gives their families. It was the Capital that first gave printed circulation to a story that had long been whispered with nods and wicks about corridors, lobbies, clubs, hotels and sample rooms. We did not mean it. We had reference to quite another, and a harmlest affair. But the misdirected spark fired the magazine, to even our own regret and sorrow. But if the information of a scandal connect ing his name with that of this poor lady-had not reached the ears of the male animal before, it struck h s eyes then. For the newspapers, that he searches daily to find mention of himself, were spiced with the gossip. Aright-thinking, healthy-hearted man would h ive accepted the warning, and by his conduct given the lie to the abuser. Not he. The poor, vain creature delighted, nay, revel ed, in his shame. To have it said that he had fascinated such a brilliant woman of the world, such a queen of societr, filled him with delight, and he hastened to affirm, through his con duct, all that had been hinted or charged. The people of Washington, the brother members of the Senate, the very messengers, servants and hackmen can bear us out in this. If there was ever a doubt before of CONKLING’B CRIMINAL INTERCOURSE with the wife of Wit iam Sprague. Conkling hastened to solve that doubt against the poor lady. He wrote adulteress on her seat in the gallery of the Senate, along the walls of the dimmest lit corridor, on her carriage, on her home, and smiled in vain delight when he saw the evil-tongued mob fasten upon and read the loathsome word. William Sprague has been overtaken by cruel misfortunes. He has fallen, through no fault of his own, from his high es tate. socially, politically and commercially. Ha lost bis seat in the Senate. He lost his for tune. and, blindly striking out amid the wreck, saw hts palaces, equipages, servants all disap pear, and the sunshine sycophants of the hour fall away. He gathered his family and their poor remaining together, placed them in the rude house his creditors could not touch, be cause left his wife by her honored father, and ESTABLISHED 1850. went out to battle with fate. This was the j home Conkling entered. These were the piti- j fui circumstances that smoothed liis way, and this is the man, the chosen leader of a great fac tion. the owner of a State, a leading lawmaker in the Senate, who could invade such a dwel ling and bring shame and misfortune on such a family, A learned Judge, In commenting upon THIS TKRBIFIC EDITORIAL co -ht. a.d miK re how Conkling i couid remain silent under that editorial. 1' I were the subject- of tbnt editorial I would kill the writer or never again expect to hold up my head among decent men.-’ An Ohio official holding high position said this veil- lug. “You have no idea of the feeling o? cur State against Conkling on account of this Sprague affair. We all feel that, he has i dragged down one ofxl cored I names in our State and aegiadf 'r. the vile slough of his society the fame of one of our special queens. His pursuit of Mrs. Sprague, when be knew that his attentions only made her the laughing stock of Washing ton, has had much to do with Mr. Hayes’ dislike of Cockling and his desire to break down his political power in New York. I know that General Garfield has the same feeling of indignation. We Ohio people, who were so proud cf the Chase family, feel Mrs. Sprague’s degradation almost as much as If she had been a member of our fami lies.’’ This Is given as a mere incident of the gossips of the day. How much Conk ling’s connection with this affair might af- j feet his position under the next admiuistra- i tlon is not necessary to consider. The fact j that Blaine is the principal adviser of tl e j coming regime is enough. It also makes 1 certain that tire Grant people will not be j any too prominent, and explains pretty well THE DISMAL CROAKING* that were reported last week from this bu reau. There is no love lost between the Grant and Blaine people. The former credit the la'ter with their defeat at Chi cago, and the latter is not unwilling to ac cept the responsibility. Brief Telegraphic Summary. The cold wave reached Chicago yesterday morniug. On Thursday a large steamer was seen to go on Goodwin Sands and afterwards sink with all hands. The closing bell at the Liverpool Cotton Exchange now rings at 5 o’clock instead of 5:15 as heretofore. At a meeting of the Blackburn cotton spinners Thursday night it was unanimous ly resolved to apply for an Increase of wages. A special from Dallas, Texas, says: “In a difficulty at Easeland, on Wednesday, John Contely was shot and killed by his brother Charles.” The Maine Republican caucus, to nomi nate a United States Senator.was largely at tended last evening. Hon. Eugene Hale re ceived a unanimous nomination. The death Is announced of Arnold Ruge, the German writer, philosopher and Liberal politician, distinguished as the “father of the German revolution.” His age was 79. A working clockmaker of Birmingham, England, has informed the Russian Embassy at London, of a Nihilist plot to construct an infernal machine in England for use In Russia. The Board of Directors of the Short Line Railroad met Thursday in Louisville, Ky., and elected Jacob Kreiger President in place of J. B. Wilder, resigned, and J. B. Bangs Vice President. The steamer Braunschweig is aground below Port Eads, near the mouth of the jetties. Bhe draws twenty-one feet and lies in sixteen feet of water. Tow boats are working at her. The Indiana Senate on Thursday elected Yiele, Democrat, President pro tem. It is thought a compromise will be made dividing the offices between the Democrats and Republicans. The Berlin correspondent of the London Morning Post says: “Private advices from Athens state that the statue of ‘Minerva Vic torious,’ recently discovered, is not the origl '■nal, but a copy of the masterpiece of Phidias.” A dispatch from Carson City, Nevada, says: “The Democrats held a caucus Thursday night and nominated J. G. Fair for United States Senator. It is claimed, however, by the anti-Fair interest that there was no quorum present.” Japanese Babies. —“l never saw people take so much delight in their children,” writes Miss Bird in her new book on the Japanese, “carrying them about or holding their hands in walking, watching and entering into their games, supplying them constantly with toys, taking them to picnics and festivals, and never being content to be without them. Both fathers and mothers take a pride in their children. It is most amusing, about 6 every morning, to see twelve or four teen men sitting on a low wall, each with a child or two in his arms, fondling and playing with it, and showing off its physique and intelligence. At night, after the houses are shut up, looking through the long fringe of rope or rat tan which conceals the sliding door, you see the naked father bending his ugly, kindly face over a gentle looking baby; and the mother, who more often than not has dropped the kimono from her shoulders, enfolding two children desti tute of clothing in her arms. The children, though for our ideas too gen tle and formal, are very prepossessing in looks and behavior. They are little men and women, rather than children, and their old fashioned appearance is aided by their dress, which is the same as that of adults.” Henry Minnesker drank ten schooners of beer in five minutes in a St. Louis sa loon, for a wager of ten cents.

She j NO. 3 WHITAKER STREET, (MORNING NEWS BUILDING). J. H. ESTILL, Proprietor. W. X. THOMPSON, Editor. SATURDAY.'JANUARY 8. 1881~ TAPPING THE W IHES. Ia the United States Senate yesterday the e memorial of Moore, a member of the j Packard Legislature, asserting that he had been bribed by Kellogg, was read, and led to a lengthy discussion, which continued OntQ the expiration of the morning hour. Afterwards the consular and diplomatic ap proprtation bill was taken up and discussed lat length. Finally, after a number of unim portant amendments, the bill wat read a f third time and passed, and the Senate ad journed. In the House, after the reading j of the Journal, a few pension and private i bills were introduced and referred. Mr Springer, of Illinois, offered a I resolution calling for information regarding the fishery award of $5,500,000 paid by this government to Great Britain, which, after some discussion, was referred to the Committee on Foreign Af fairs. The House then went Into committee of the whole on the private calendar and a number of private bills were' reported and passed, among which was one to admit the bells of St. Michael’s chimes, of Charles ton, South Carolina, duty free. The House .then adjourned. A fire was discovered in the main building on the Strafford Company farm, near Dover, New Hampshire, at 4:30 o ck*ck yesterday morning. One hundred and sixty-nine per sons were in the building at the time, and thirteen persons are missing and probably lost their lives. The loss is estimated at $70,000. Insurance $25,000. In the Florida Legislature yesterday the Governor’s message was read. It gave gen eral satisfaction. The standing committees appointed in the Assembly were announced. Notices of contests were given in the As sembly in several cases. Five bills were Introduced in the Senate. The funeral of the late Bishop Atkinson, of North Carolina, took place at Wilming ton yesterday. The ceremonies were very impressive and were largely attended. Our Washington special states that a change of sentiment has taken place in ad ministration circles regarding Marshal Fitz eimons. He is to be removed and H. I. Kimball will probably be appointed In his stead. A dispatch from Dublin to the London TSnus says the prosecution of the indicted Land Leaguers and the prospect of repres sive measures in Parliament have not had a quieting effect upon the lawless classes in the west of Ireland. The League Court sits regularly, and its authority is widely ac knowledged. The three land commission ers, in their report to the government, re commend the adoption of the three “F’s”— fair rents, free sales and'fixity of tenure. In the case of the minority stockholders of the Nashville and Chattanooga against the Louisville and Nashville Railroad for the appointment of a receiver, a de cision was given refusing the petition, on the ground that the management of the road was fair and efficient. The injunction to prevent a lease of the Nashville and Chattanooga by the Louisville and Nash ville was also denied on the ground that no such lease had been made or was contem plated. The Pope has addressed a letter to the Archbishop of Dublin, in which he express es sympathy for the Irish Catholics, but enjoins on them respect for the law, as he thinks they will accomplish more by that course than through lawlessness. A boiler explosion at the Allentown, Pa., rolling mill Thursday night, resulted in the death of nine persons, and three more are expected to die. i The New York stock market was charac terized by great strength throughout the entire day yesterday, and the market closed strong at an advance. The total sales were 42,900 shares. The statement of the National Cotton Ex change, to be issued to-day, will show the total movement ia cotton to delivery ports during the four months ending December 31st, ISBO, to be 3,447,509 bales, an exeess over last year of 312,017 bales. The total amount of this year’s crop handled at the ports and overland points of crossing to De cember 31st last was 3,736,517, an Increase over last year of 255.912 bales. Eugene Schuyler contributes part three of an able and interesting article to Scrib ner't Magazine for January on “Peter the Great as Ruler and Reformer,” which the publishers have superbly illustrated. There is also an entertaining sketch of the London theatres, with handsome illustra tions. The second part of “Glimpses of Parisian Art" is beautifully illustrated, and introduces the reader to some of the exquisite art works of the French capi tal. Christmas hymns and songs, home and society news, topics of the times, original and selected poems, and many other features, are embraced in the maga zine. In point of literary abiiity and artistic wo: k the number before us has never been surpassed. State Legislatures. —All the States but seven now have biennial sessions of the Legislatures. The seven which have not yet adopted the reform are Con necticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Y'ork, Rhode Island, South Caro Hna and Wisconsin. In Louisiana, Maryland and Virginia the sessions are limited to 90 days; in Tennessee to 75 days. in Missouri to 70 days; in Arkansas, California, Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, Nevada, North Carolina and Texas to 60 days; in Alabama and Kansas to 50 days: in West Virginia to 45 days, and in Colorado, Georgia, Nebraska and Oregon to 40 days. In the other States there is no limit. i Although sorghum has not shown up ▼ery favorably in its contest with the sugar cane of the South, it is gradually gaining ground in the Northwest. The sorghum product in Minnesota last year was about fifty thousand pounds of sugar and fifty Thousand gallons of syrup, the former selling in market at 9 cents a i pound and the latter at 55 cents a gallon. 1 In addition to this it is asserted by its t cultivators that more whisky can be pro duced from an acre of sorghum than (from an acre of corn. The latter fact will probably give sorghum its boom. ii Boston Pott: “An excited Mr. Anony mous writes to give us his opinion that *a more damned and hopelessly mori -1 bundical party’ than the Democratic, ’never existed.’ As there is no such word as ’moribundical' in the English i language, we cannot tell what our cor respondent means, but doubtless some thing ‘sassy.’ His excellent taste and refined phraseology show that he, at I least, is a consistent member of the Re publican army of saints.” "Not counting the negroas,” says the 1 Chicago Tribune, a Republican paper, “the United States is thus shown to be the second most numerous nation in the civilized world.” But why not count the negroes? Is the black man so in -1 significant .-in the estimation of Repub '.licans. that he is not entitled to figure in estimates? The Republicans will be weakened, when the House meets again, by the en forced absence of Voorhies, of New Jersey, who is attending to an indict 'nent for fraud and embezzlement as a I’k official. The Savannah and Memphis Rail road. Some time since we announced the purchase by Colonel William M. Wad ley, of this city. President of the Cen tral Railroad, Dr. E. A. Flewellyn, of Macon, and other friends of the Central, of the Savannah and Memphis Railroad, running from Opelika in a northwester ly direction to Goodwater, Alabama. As it stands at present, the value of this line as a feeder to the Central Road and to this city is immense. It runs through a magnificent cotton country, and will add materially to the cotton re ceipts of our port. But, besides this, at Goodwater, its present western terminus, there is a gap of only about twenty miles, over which, we learn, a line has already been projected, and, we believe, par tially graded, to some point on the Selma, Rome and Dalton Railway. We do not know when the purchasers of the Savannah and Memphis Road propose filling this gap, but have no doubt that they will do so a6 soon as they think it advisable. When this is done then the line will be in direct and easy communication with the rich coal and iron fields of Alabama, from which j the coal of that section can be transported direct to this city via the Southwestern and the Central Roads, or to Atlanta direct via the West ern Railroad from Opelika to West Point, and from thence via the West Point and Atlanta Road. This, it is needless to say, will effectually avert any future coal famines in that city; will do away with the necessity for the construc tion of the Georgia Western, over which Atlanta has long been so much exercised, while she, as well as Savannah, will en joy the great benefits to be derived from cheap fuel. Invaluable as these advantages must prove to our city, however, they are by no means the greatest benefit which will enure to us and to Georgia's great high way from this purchase. A glance at the map shows that it will give the Cen tral Road a direct and independent con nectioD with Chattanooga, Nashville, Louisville, St. Louis and all points West, and will thus afford another line over which the vast grain products of that section can be poured into the lap of our city. The tremen dous increase in business to the Central, aud in commercial importance to Savan nab, which will result from this connec tion, when it is established, can scarcely be overestimated. The purchase of this line—at a figure, we believe, of less than $12,000 a mile by Colonel Wadley and his associates, is another proof of the wisdom and sagacity of that gentleman. As we have seen, it virtually makes the Central master of the railway situation, aud fortifies that great iron highway against any future contingency likely to anse, for though the Memphis and Savannah has not been purchased by the Central, it has been bought by friends of, and parties identified with, that corporation. And inasmuch as what will benefit the Central must bene fit Savannah —since the policy of the management of that line is to advance in every way the interests of this city—our citizens have good reason to congratu late themselves upon this valuable ac quisition. A Peruvian Guano Syndicate. The field of enterprise lately opened in finance by the organization of what are called ‘syndicates” is now extending into the domain of commerce. One of the most remarkable transactions is that of a combination of New York capitalists to control the entire guano product of Peru for a term of fifteen years. Some two months ago was published the fact that such a project was on foot, but its consummation was only effected on the day before Christmas, when the 6um of five millions of dollars was placed by Mr. Wm. R. Garrison and his associates in the hands of the Peruvian Minister at Washington, as the first installment to be paid to Peru for the concession of the privilege. The negotiations for this con tract were opened by Mr. Garrison and his friends at Lima, and it is said that during the past three months the fight between the American and English capitalists for the trade which the British have controlled ever since Peru abandoned her system of agencies has been bitter. The result is regarded as a exeat victory by those concerned, as it turns into American channels a trade estimated at the yearly sum of forty mil lions of dollars. This estimate is too large, and should be reduced at least onehalf. The total yearly export of Peruvian guano does not exceed four hundred thousand tons, of which Great Britain takes one hundred thousand tons, of the market value, at fifty dol lars per ton, of $5,000,000. France, Germany, Belgium and Spain take an nually a total of two hundred thousand tons; and in addition to these quantities are the exports to the United States, which are very large, and will now probably be increased, and those to Italy and Holland, both of which are com paratively small purchasers. General Nathan Goff, Jr., the nomi nee for Secretary of the Navy, while not enjoying a national reputation, is well known in politics throughout his State, West Virginia. He has been United States District Attorney of West Vir ginia for many years past, was the nomi nee of the Republican party for the First Congressional district in 1874, at which time he was defeated by Hon. Benjamin Wilson, and was again the Republican nominee for Governor of the State in 1876, when he was defeated by Gov. H. M. Matthews. He is a man of undoubted capacity, is a thorough and genial gentleman, and, though a Republican, is by no means a stalwart, but is popular with both par ties. His appointment will prove as creditable to Mr. Hayes’ administration as any he could have made. A Porcelain Factory is New Or leans. —The Timet says: “The porce lain factory of Messrs. Suigi A Eetaupes, on Carondelet walk, is a pronounced success. The factory was started with the idea of getting the material required for manufacturing porcelain ware from Europe, but a fortunate discovery in Texas of the kind of clay needed renders it unnecessary to bring material from such a distance. The ware manufactured by Messrs. Suigi A Est&upes is of a very fine quality. As this factory is a home institution, we hope it will receive encouragement” It is now plainly evident that ex- Governor Sprague will vigorously con test the suit for a divorce entered against him by his wife, and that he will not be at all chary about the means he employs to blacken the character of the plaintiff. He is said to have an attorney at Colum bus, Ohio, the former home of Chief Justice Chase, looking up evidence. The prurient will await developments with bated breath, but right-thinking people will deplore the exposure of the infirmities of both parties in this cele brated but unsavory case. Importance of Onr Projected River and Barber Improvements. We yesterday called the attention of our readers to the importance of the commerce of Savannah and what Con gress should do for its development. We now invite the attention of Congress and our own people to the vital impor tance of aiding by all proper means in improving our great lines of water trans portation at a comparatively small out lay. The surveys of the Savannah river between this city and Augusta, and of the “inland route” between this city and Fernandina, Fla., by the United States Engineer in charge of the improvement of our harbor and river (Col. Fremont), have been made the past autumn. A synopsis of the reports of these surveys (with the estimates) at Romerly marsh aud Jekyl creek and the upper Savannah river have been pub lished by us. We desire here to call attention to the importance ton the part of our people and city government) of urging the im mediate action of Congress upon this subject. Savannah occupies the very important position of the commercial port for sev eral States besides our own, and is the point of trans shipment from ocean to inland transportation, and vice versa for both water and railway carriage. Hence we are not asking aid for Georgia alone, but for a large section of the country whose commerce is reached through a Georgia port. The United States Engineer Depart ment assures us that we will, m a short time, be able to bring to our wharves vessels drawing twenty tiro (22) feet of water at mean or average high tides, pro vided the appropriations asked for be made as fast a3 the work can be done. We should this year receive not less than $125,000 for our harbor improve ments, in addition to the funds on hand to be expended in closing the openings between the islands from Elba to Cock spur, and in dredgmg channels, widen ing the harbor, etc., now beiDg prosecut ed. About $-50,000 is estimated as the cost of opening a direct route through Romerly marsh, and for the deepening of Jekyl creek,jmakiug the inland route so good that steamers can make daily trips between this city and Fernandina with out being delayed by the tides. For the improvement of the river to Augusta $85,000 is asked for. By the expendi ture of this sum such improvements can be made as will enable steamers draw ing five feet and less to pass at any stage of the river, and that these im provements will be permanent. Surely,with these improvements com pleted, as they will be within the next fis cal year, if appropriations are made by the present CoDgress for the purpose, Savan nah cannot fail to be vastly benefited, where a large section of country will be supplied with greatly improved facilities for transportation and lapid develop ment. The Louisiana Foil Tax Law. Louisiana has a sort of cast-iron poll tax law. Collectors have power to seize and sell the property of delinquents, ar.d employers are held responsible for the payment of the poll tax of their em ploye!, being authorized to deduct the same from wages due. The New Or leans Timet a few days ago paid the poll tax of forty four of its eighty employes. Speaking of the operations of this law the Timet says: “The poll tax law of this’State, as now enforced, accomplishes the wonderful feat of collecting this tax without dis franchising any citizens. For many years past the States have been endeav oring to do this, but have hitherto found no other mode of doing it except by making a payment of the tax a prere quisite to voting. This is the law in Massachusetts, Virginia and Georgia; and while it yields a large revenue, it has many disastrous effects, reduces the vote of 'the State one half and creates bribery at elections—the cost of a vote being the payment of a man's poll tax. The former law in this State was even worse, since it collected this tax only from citizens owning real estate, and not from those from whom it was intended to come—citizens paying no taxes at all. The law at present solves the dilemma— nobody is disfranchised, yet everybody is compelled to pay up.” The Business Situation. The Financial Chronicle says: “It is not desirable to take a rose colored view of the business situation which is not warranted by the actual facts; but even accepting this basis, it may fairly be said that the appearance of commer cial and financial affairs throughout the country at the close of this year is one of sound and healthy prosperity, which has never been equaled. The danger ahead, whenever it may develop, can hardly spring from any inherent weakness or rottenness existing at the present moment, but is more likely to arise from going too fast. Some rail roads may be built which -cannot earn their interest: wheat may be grown (with all the new land) till the price goes to 80a90 cents in New Y'ork: general confidence may carry things upward until stock sells at 80, which have no hope of dividends for ten years at least. The demand for loans on new enter prises may be so rapid that money will command 132 per day for months together. All these possibilities are worth a passing notice.” The New Y’ork Timet gives the Green backers plainly to understand that they need not expect any favors at the hands of the Republicans in the next Congress. It says: “What the Greenbackers may do is, therefore, a matter of considerable inter est. If they act on other than financial measures according as their individual party affiliations may incline, the Repub licans will have little to fear from them. If, however, they unite on all questions, the Republican majority will be reduced to very narrow limits in the House, and may, by accidents of death or absence, be imperilled at critical moments. Rely ing upon this fact, it is reported that the Greenbackers are trying to effect a com pact organization to extort from one party or the other some tangible advan tages. From the Republicans they can gain little, if anything, because the lat ter are too completely committed to their own financial views to permit even ‘fu tile dalliance’ with the advdeates of Greenback ideas. BHt it is not to be de nied that the Greenbackers may force an alliance with the Democrats which may i have a decided effect on the possible j financial action of the next Congress.” Notwithstanding the efforts of the au thorities of San Francisco to prevent the establishment of leprosy among the pop ulation by sending back all Chinese lepers that could be found, it appears that the terrible disease has secured a foothold there. One physician reports that sixteen white lepers of both sexes, have applied to him for treatment within a short time, and all of them in curable. One of the growing industries of Aus tralia is the cooking and canning of rab bits. The Colas Preserving Company, near Melbourne, had on an average 7,000 of these agile rodents brought in every night at the beginning of the psst season, and the supply increasing, orders were given to limit the daily quantity to 2,700 pair. During the season, which lasted for 25 weeks, 675,000 rabbits were can ned by this establishment alone. THE OUTLAWS IN NEW MEXICO. Troops Wauled to Hold Them In Check—What Gov. Lew Wallace Says About His mission to Wash ington. Gen. Lew Wallace, Governor of the teraitory of New Mexico, is in Washing ton. In" an interview with a Star reporter he said: “I came to Washington onbusi nessconnected with preserving the peace, life and property in New Mexico. The military officers construe that the posse comitatus clause in the army bill applies to territories as well as States. TV e ail know lhat political reasons caused the insertion of that clause. The people of a territory do not vote for President. Their only election in any way national is that of a delegate to Congress. I do not, therefore, think that it was intend ed that the posse comitatus clause should apply to territories.” “You want that clause repealed, then “No, not that exactly. I would like to have it modified or amended so that it would not apply to New Mexico. If Congress will do that, and I can see no reason why it should refuse, I can make life and property in New Mexico as safe as it is in any portion of the Union.” “Why is not there such safety now V’ asked the Star reporter. “That is simple enough,” said the General. “The southern portion of New Mexico and northern Old Mexico is infested by bands of thieves, robbers and murderers, many of whom are wanted in the East to answer for crimes committed. They think no more of killing a man than of shooting game. They rob the miners of their horses, mules and other property. They rob anybody they lay their hands on. If a man resists they kill him. The property and life of no one is safe from them. When a deputy marshal, armed with au thority and backed by his posse, gets after them they go over into Old Mexico and laugh at their pur suers. The latter canuot stay there watching them and neglecting their own business. As soon as Ihey re tire the outlaws come back into New Mexico and go to robbing and killing again. If I was authorized to call on the military and get the troops after them they would soon be broken up. The troops could not only pursue more ef fectively than citizens, but could wait. The deputy marshal could be with them with his warrants, and 1 think by these means that I could break up the out lawry system of the bolder altogether. I also think that I can present the case to Congress in such a light that the posse comitatus clause will be modified as re gards New Mexico.” “Otherwise is the territory peaceable?” asked the Star reporter. “No,” answered the General. “There are Americans and Mexicans as inhabi tants. The American is progressive and the Mexican tenacious and brave. We have had several serious difficulties be tween them, and I fear there may be others. I could prevent them if I could use the troops as a posse. As it now is a deputy marshal’s posse of Americans increases rather than puts down Arneri can-Mexican rows. It is particularly desirable now that steps should be taken for the security of life and property. All aloDg the upper Mississippi valley and elsewhere bands of emigrants are form ing in large numbers to come into New Mexico next spring. There will be a perfect tide of immigration iu a few mouths. Naturally I want to be able to fully protect, not onl3 r the people al ready there, but those who are to come in.” “Is New Mexico a rich country in re sources asked the Star reporter. “It is,” said the General. “I predict that in ten years it will be one of the most prosperous and wealthy States in the Union. It is admirably adapted to fruit raising of all kinds. Its mineral wealth is inexhaustible. It contains mints as rich as any discovered in the West. It will be opened up rapidly, and with the development of the coun try will be found resources at present not thought of.” “You "will appear before the Terri torial Committees of the two Houses in favor of a modification of the posse comitatus clause “Y'es, I will present the necessity for such action fully and as ably as I can as soon as Congress gets to work again.” COL. FITZBIMONS. The Testimony of an Expert who says the marshal’s Hooks and Ac counts are all O. K, Editor Atlanta Pott-Appeal —Sir: Col. Fitzsimons laughs at the rumors in cir culation about his misapplication of government funds, and will not conde scend to notice them. But I think, in justice to him and for the information of the people of Georgia, such reports should at least be denied and facts be stated as they exist. Iu September last the Marshal requested me to take charge of his books and accounts, and instructed me to confine my attention as much as possible to the examination of his accounts frt>m the beginning of his administration till July Ist, 1880. He said he thought everything was right, but if it was not, no one could be more desirous of discovering the wrong than he was, that his principal object in calling for my assistance was to satisfy himself about the accuracy of his accounts. I have carefully examined his books, and have found nothing un fair or illegal. He has deposited all the government funds in the designated de pository and has never drawn a dollar therefrom except to pay legitimate government accounts. He has rendered to the department at Washington weekly statements of his disbursements, and the government depostory has rendered similar statements showing the bal ances to his credit. Those state ments check each other, and a compari son will at once discover any discrepan cy that may exist, and, when discovered, he is immediately notified of it, a: and he cannot get another dollar till the dis crepancy is satisfactorily explained. All these rumors about being defaulter are baseless fabrications. There is not a word of truth in them. He has in his hands between four and five thousand dollars received from the government to pay the deputies for their services already performed, for which services their accounts have already been for warded to Washington city. But the auditing officers refuse to allow these ac counts as sworn to and claim that a por tion of this money shall be refunded to the government. The amount of this claim can not be ascertained till the ac counts are adjusted, and when so ad justed the Marshal is ready to pay the deputies every dollar that is due them. These amounts are withheld by special agreement with the deputies," and in many instances the amount retained is much less than the percentage agreed upon, and in some instances he has paid more than they are entitled to. I am, very respectfully, J' W. Culpepper. n Sensation and Scandal.- A San Fran cisco Chronicle special of the 3d gives the following outlines of the latest sen sation and scandal on the slope; "Jimmy F. was the son of a mining magnate. After sowing a fair crop of wild oats, and when his father offered him $2,500,- 000 in government bonds Jimmy settled down. Just then there arrived from Australia a fair young creature named Eva Ellwood. She had been traveling with an actor who had taken from her $1,500, spent it and cast her adrift. She returned and Jimmy F. saw her and adored her. They prepared to fly to Paris. He called her Pete, and so she became known among sports. In her hilarity over the prospects she told it at a cafe, and it came to the ears of the old man. He went to withdraw the bonds from the credit of Jimmy, but Jimmy had been there before him and was gone. Pete followed, and it is supposed the two are on their journey to the wicked city. The Chronule does not say who the mining magnate is, only that he is one of the richest.” No Hore Hard Times. If you will stop spending so much on fine clothes, rich food and style, buy good, healthy food, cheaper and better clothing; get more real and substantial things of life every way, and especially stop the foolish habit of employing expensive, quack doc tors or using so much of the vile humbug medicine that does you only harm, but put your trust iu that Biinple, pure remedy, Hop Bitters, that cures always at a trifling coat, and you will see good times and have good health. Bee another column. The Loss in the Sugar Crop. Sew Orleans Times. We have received no definite informa tion from the sugar districts relative to the prospect of saving the cane that is not yet ground. The late cold weather, of course, froze the standing cane, and, it is believed, nearly if not all of the cane in windrows. Had the weather remained cold and clear the greater part of the crop could have been saved, but the weather of the last few days has rendered grinding impossible. The con dition of the roads is such that the cane cannot be hauled to the mill. The indi cations are that the weather will continue wet and become warmer. In that case the chances are, the cane yet in the field will be a total loss. The* amount of this loss cannot now be estimated with any degree of accuracy. Owing to bad weather in December, many of the plan ters are behind hand in their grinding, and, consequently, three is a great deal of unground cane. The best opinion is that the loss will not fall short of ten per cent, of the estimates made in the early part of the grinding season, say about 25,000 hogsheads. In a few days we shall be able to give a more accurate statement of the situation. gWvmtismfMs. YELLOW BANANAS EX-BRITISH SCHOONER EBENEZER. A CHOICE CARGO OF JAMAICA BANANAS.

No Injury from the Cold Snap. The apprehensions which were aroused concerning the effect upon the young fruit trees by the recent cold snap in Florida, wa are pleased to state, are without foundation. We learn from Mr. John H. Griffin, agent of the Florida Dispatch Line, who reached the city yesterday, after an extended tour through F.orida, that, although the weather was unusually cold for that section the lat ter part of the year, anil there was a freeze, very little injury was done. At Hawkins ville, Fla., 175 miles above Jack sonville, he saw lime and citron trees in full bloom, that had not been in jured in the least. The vegetation was not damaged, and the condition generally In the Flowery Land is all that could be desired. The hotels at Jacksonville he reports as crowded, and the Northern travel unusually large at this season. Mr. Griffin retains his connection as Pas senger Agent with the Savannah,Florida and Western Railway, aud is doing good service in the Interest of his company. The Dam at the ’’Cross Tides.” Over a quarter of a century since efforts were made to divert the current of water from the Back river, at what is known as the “Cross Tides,” at the head of King’s Island, but these attempts were either total failures, or only partial successes, until the construction of the present submerged dam, which was completed sometime since. This work is evidently accomplishing the long desired object, that of Increasing the volume of water fl rwing through the river, which passes by our wharves. The bluff opposite King’s Island shows the effect of the strong current, aud a general improvement in the cbaunel from that point to the city is reported. With this and other improvements now going on, and those in contemplation, Georgia’s sea port, and the future entrepot for the peo ple of the Sou’h and West, will secure the anticipated twenty-five feet of water from our wharves to the sea. *n .Stonewall Division No. 1, S. oI T.

Parse Nominated for Mayor— A Strong Aldermanlc Ticket—Reso lutions. In accordance with the published call, there was a mass meeting held at the Theatre last evening to take action in re gard to the approaching municipal election. The building was crowded, the assemblage being one of the largest and most respecta ble that has ever been seen at a political gathering in this city, and included a num ber of venerable citizens who are rarely seen at public meetings at night. Shortly after eight o’clock Capt. George A. Mercer, Chairman of the Democratic Ex ecutive Committee of the county, made his appearance on the stage, and was greeted with applause. He announced that, In con sequence of the absence of Capt. H. C. Cunningham, the Secretary of the commit tee, it would be necessary to elect a Secre tary of the meeting, and requested that a nomination be made by the audience. Mr. B. H. Richardson was nominated and elected. Captain Mercer then briefly stated the ob ject of the meeting as expressed in the call, and that it now remained with the meeting to do what they thought proper in regard to the municipal election, and that be was ready to hear any motions or resolutions. Mr. T. J. McNish arose and moved that a committee of five from each militia dis trlst in the city be appointed by the Chair, which committee shall be' empowered to present nominations for Mayor and Aider men of the city of Savannah. The motion was seconded, when Mr. L. H. Montmollin stated he had a substitute to offer. He said he saw no necessity for the appointment of a committee to make nomi nations: that the duty could be equally as well performed by the meeting. He had some names to present for the considera tion of the meeting, and if there were any objections to them, they could be made. He then read slowly the following ticket, each name as it was announced being re ceived with applause: FOR MAYOR. D. G. PURSE. ALDERMEN. Henry F. Willtnk. S. P. Hamilton. Fred. M. Hull. R. B. Reppard. Wm. B. Mill. D. R. Thomas J. W. Tynan. Samuel B. Adams. F. Grimball. Charles Collins. M. J. Doyle. Abram Freidenberg. He said that the ticket presented repre sented the'varied interests of the city, and bore the names of respectable citizens well known and esteemed. This substitute received several seconds, and on being put to the meeting was adopt ed by a decided vote, very few negatives being heard. Mr. Montmollin stated for the informa tion of the meeting that there was every reason to anticipate acceptance from the gentlemen who had been nominated, which announcement was received with applause. Captain Henry Blun offered the follow ing resolutions,which received a second and were adopted almost unanimously: Resolved First, That it is the senso of the people of this community, in mass meeting assembled, that the city charter should bo amended by the Legislature at the earliest opportunity, so that tbe Mayor and Aider men of Savannah shall have the right to regulate and determine the salary of any official elected by said Mayor and Aider men, and payable out of the Treasury of said city, and, further, that said Mayor and Aldermen shall not have the right or power to elect any officers for a longer term than three months beyond the time for which they themselves are elected by the people. Second. That the system for the registra tion of voters for municipal elections tn this city is fraught with danger to our city, in view of the facility with which fraud and illegal practices are carried on under its provisions, and we therefore recommend such changes by the Legislature as will pro tect the purity of the ballot and secure to our citizens reasonable facilities and pro tection In the exercise of the elective fran chise, calling their attention specially to the great abuses which are perpetrated through the instrumentality of the registry ticket. Mr. Montmollin then offered the follow ing: Resolved, That we earnestly recommend to our immediate Senator and Representatives the advisability of requiring the Sheriff of Chatham county to perform the duties of jailer iu this city, for such compensation as may be fixed by the Mayor and Aldermen of Savannah, not to exceed one thousand dol lars per annum. The reading of this resolution was greet ed with great applause, which continued several minutes, and received with seconds from different portions of the house. It wa3 then put before the meeting and adopted. The Chair desired to know If there was any further business to be considered, and none beiog offered, Mr. T. J. McNish moved an adjournment, which was voted down. Calis were then made for Hon. Rufus E. Lester (who had been present, but had re tired a lew minutes before), aud were con tinued until the Chair announced that Mr. Lestet was not present. Cal's were made for Mr. Walter G. Charl toD, which were continued until that gen tleman was finally compelled to rise. lie stated that whilst he was deeply grati fied at the compliment of being called upon to address this large and respectable meet ing, he saw no occasion for saying anything. He could congratulate the meeting upon the harmonious manner in which the busi ness had been conducted,and their selection of a ticket composed of gentlemen against whom there could be no cavil. For the present incumbent of the Mayoralty he had the highest and and warmest personal re gard. He was one of his best friends, and there was nothing that he would not do for him. He considered, however, that the nominee of this meeting should receive the support of every good Democrat. [Ap plause The respectable people of Savan nah had come here to protest against the abuses that have been perpetrated upon this community. Without impugning any one, it could bo asserted that it had been sought to put in office, by a pet version of the registration system, men whom this community did not want and do not approve of. This was the cause of this meeting to-night, and it now remained for the people to strike home at the polls on Tuesday week with even more force than had characterized the unanimity of their action to-night. These remarks were received with ap plause, and as Mr. Charlton took his seat calls were made for Adame, Collins, Ashby and others, but there were no further re sponses. Mr. Montmollin th.en moved that the chair appoint a committee to notify the gentlemen who had. been selected for Mayor and Aldermen of their nomination, and to request their acceptance. The mo tion was adopted, and, after a few minutes, the Chair announced the following as the committee: Messrs. L H. MontmolliD, Luke Carson, R. M. Barthelmess, David Wells and John Rutherford. Captain Blun renewed the motion to ad journ, which wa* seconded and carried, and the meeting dispersed. Capt. D. G. Furse, who has been honored with the nomination for Mayor, has been a member of the Board of Aldermen for two tirms, and as Chairman of the Finance Committee has displayed rare ability, as mainly through his exertions was the bond compromise effected, the credit of the city restored, and Ler new bonds pieced on the market among first class securities. Having proved so valuable an Alderman, we have no doubt that should he be elected Mayor his admin istration will be a credit to the pity, and give general satisfaction. Guilty of Wrong.

McGrath dt Cv novY Tb,B<!mtf j THE CITY REGISTRATION. Decision or the Supreme Court. The decision of the Supreme Court in the registration ease from this city, although officially announced, has never been pub lished In full, and until yesterday no copy of it had been received here. Capt. Geo. A. Mercer, one of the counsel for the com plainants in the case, who had written to Atlanta for a certified copy of the decision, yesterday received the document. As in terest to see the decision is general we ob tained the use of this copy and herewith present it in fall: John McMahon et alii vs. the Mayor and Al dermen of the city of Savannah, Injunction from Chatham. Speer, J. McMahon et alii filed their bill in Chatham Superior Court, alleging that they are citizens of the city of Savannah, and of the county and State aforesaid, are taxpayers of said city.and some of th“m owners of taxable property in aaid city to a large amount. They also allege that they are duly qualified and entitled to vote at elections for Mayor and Aldermen of said city. They show that the constitution of the State of Georgia declares that every male citizen of the United States, twenty-one years of age. who has resided in the State one year next preceding the election, and six months in the county in which he offers to vote, and shall have paid all taxes required of him, and which he may have had an oppor tunity of paying agreeably to law except for the year of the elec.ion, shall be deemed au -elector. And said constitution farther provides that the General Assembly may provide from time to time for the registration of all electors, that laws of a general nature shall have uniform operation, and that no special law shall be en acted in any case for which provision has been made by an existing general law; that local and private laws passed for the benefit of citi zens, not inconsistent with the supreme law, nor with said constitution, shall have the force of statute law, and that all legislative acts in vio lation of said constitution are void. Complainants allege that the Mayor and Al dermen of the city of Savannah claim the right to add to the qualification of an elector at gen eral elections for Mayor and Aldermen in said city, that such voter shall have made all legal returns required by the ordinancesof said city, and shall hare been registered according to law. Complainants further allege that said defen dants, through its officers and agents, and par ticularly through Rebarer, its Clerk of Council, is now engaged in enforcing against your ora tors and other citizens and taxpayers, said ille gal qualifications and requirements, claiming the right to do so under the charter of said ci'y, as amended by au act of the General As sernb y of Georgia, approved August 7th, 1872. Baid act provides that said Clerk shall open a list for the registration of voter*, to remain open from the first Monday in July until the first Monday in December, till 2 o’clock p. m., It made the duty of such Clerk, upon the ap plication in person, and not by proxy of any person entitled to vote, in said city, as required by said city charter, and by said defendants to register the name of such person, age, occupa tion or business, and place of residence; and, further, the applicant shall pay to such Clerk, for the City Treasurer, the sum of one dollar in lieu of poll tax, and shall receive from said Clerk a certificate of his registration, upon ihe of which he shall be entitled to vote, And not otherwise. And further, said Clerk may, in any case, administer an oath to the applicant, touching his tight to be register ed. Baid Clerk is required to publish a list of the names in one of the gazettes in the city of Savannah, also to affix sad list at the court house door, and Exchange, and to furnish the Magistrates presiding at the election for Mayor and Aldermen a list of the names as aforesaid. And said Magistrates are authorized to admiu i iter to any person attempting to vote an oath, containing among other things the averment that such voter was duly registired as afore said, which, it is alleged, differs essentially frsm the oath prescribed for voters by the constitution cf Georgia. It is further alleged that said registration and production of said certificate are made essential qualifications t the right to vote, and that any person voting or attempting to vote, who is not so qualified, Is subjected to a criminal prosecution, and sub je -ted to be committed instanter, bv the pre siding Magistrate, to the common jail. It is further charged that saiu election law is manifestly inconsistent with the constitu tion of Georgia, and prescribes qualifications for electors not authorized in said constitu tion, and that said law’s provisions have been repealed by said constitution, aud raid law will disfranchise lawful voters under the con stitution, and deprive them of their right to vote without paying poll on their part. Notwithstanding the facs set foitb, the said defendants and their Clerk are now engaged in carrying out said illegal requirements, and insists that before any legal voter under the constitution of Georgia can be allowed to vote at the approaching election for Mayor and Aldermen, to be held in said city of Savannah on the third Tuesday in January next, he must first register his name, pay a registra tion tax, be prepared to exhibit bis certificate of registration, and to take the oath as afore said. It is further alleged that the defendants cannot legally collect the poll tax, and pay the same into the city treasury. Complainants in s'st that they and all other voters and tax payers wdl be subjected to annoyance and ex pense of a criminal prosecution if they in sist upon their rights as electors under said constitution; that the said officers of said city who superintend and manage the election are without means, and could not respond in dam ages to your orators for refusing to receive their votes. Further, it is averred to prevent a multiplicity of suits, ainl to obtain adequate relief and protection, a resort to ejuity is necessary. That they are property-owners and taxpay ers interested in the legal and proper appro priation of all moneys in the city treasury; that defendants have no right to use public moneys contributed by taxpayers to carry out any such illegal act. That carrying out this act is causing great expense in publishing, printing, purchasing books, etc., and that large sums are being misappropriated for this ille gal purpose. Complainants charge an open violation of said law of registra tion; that many of said applicants da not and are not required to pay said Clerk the registration tax; certifi cates are not being delivered by said Clerk as required by said act, but parties desiring to control the result of the coming municipal election have be*n, and are still presenting names of persons alleged by them to be quali fied voters, and raid Clerk is filling up certifi cates of registration, without requiring them to pay the r< gistration fee, with a view and intention of delivering the same af some future day prior to said election, not to said applicants, but to parties so furnishing said names. It is alleged said practice is contrary to the manifest spirit acd intention of said ac'.and leads to gross frauds, and to the defeat of the popular wid. The prayer is not only for a subpoena, but also for an injunction directed to defendants, its officers and agents, and toßebarerasClerk, enjoining them,and each of them, from further carrying out, or attempting to enforce or carry out in any way, said illegal election law and s.stem of registration, from printing books and tickets, and lists of said reg is'ered persons, and from expending any of the public moneys in carrying out said law, etc and from furnishing to managers who will preside at Faid elections any list of the names of registered persons,and to restrain the dedvery of any certificates of registration in the hands and control of defendants, etc. To this bill defendants tiled a general de inurrer. and also three separate answers, which it is not necessary for our purpose, we should set forth. The bill with the affidavits, answer, exhibits, etc., were submitted to the consideration of the presiding Judge on application for an in junction, and who refused said injunction and passed the fo'lowing order; On tbe hearing upon the rule to show cause why an injunction should not issue this day had, it being the opinion of the court that the city registration law is valid and constitutional and still of force. Upon this ground alone, and without passing upon ihe effect of the affida vits submitted, it is considered and ordered by the court, that the injunction be, and the same is hereby denied and refused. To which decision complainants excepted and assign the same as error. It will be seen from the judgment pro nounced by the court helow, he limits it strict ly to the question made, as to the eonstitu tionality and present force and validity of the registration law as referred to in complainants’ bi I, and against the enforcement of which the i junction was sought. And in our review of said decision we alone feel caiiea upon to re v’ew the judgment pronounced and excepted tu. “All legislative acts in violation of the con stitution are void, and it i* the duty of the ju diciary so to declaro." Butin considering and passing upon the question of the constitution ality of a law the rule is too well established and settled to be departed from, that it must bo made to appear Uat the statute before it is de clared inoperative for that cause must be 'plainly and palpably’ in violation cf the con stitution.”—Bth Ga 210. “Again, the solemn act of the government will not be set aside by the courts in a doutful case. The incompatibility or repugnancy be tween the statute and the constitution must be ‘clear and palpable.’9ih Ga 254. Guided by this rue, we are to Inquire whether these registration laws complained of are “plainly and palpably” in violation or the con stitution of 1877. Tbe constitution declares “That every mftle citizen of tbe United States (except as herein, after provided) twenty-ono years of age, who sjieU have resided In this Ntate twelve months next preceding the election, and shall have re sided six months in the county in which he offers to vote, and shall have paid all taxes which may heieafter be required of him, and which he may have had au opportunity of pay ing agreeable to law, except far year oi the election shall he uqemed an elector.” Further, in' Article 12, paragraph 4 of the same instrument it is provided “That local and private acts passei for the benefit of counties, cities, etc., not inconsistent whh the supreme law nor with this constitution, and wkich have not exnired'nor have been repealed, shall have tbe force of statute law.” It is insisted by the plaintiffs in error that the registration acts complained of ore in consistent with and victativn of the constitution ifi this, that they impose upon the eteotor in the municipal elections “qualifications" not required by the provision of the constitution quoted; and hence that the said registration acts are void, and their en f( rcement ought to be enjoined. It might be gi avely questioned whether the frameyc cf the constitution intended to appty the qualifica tions tnereip prescribed to those whd vote in municipal elections. But it is not necessary we shdulri decide this ques ion in the view we take of this casf). If is coiqplaitiad that the registration acts re quire, in addition .to the qualifications pre scribed bv the constitution also, that the elec tors shall have made all returns required by the ordinancf-s of said city, and that shall have bssn required according to law. 9. That a tax of one doUar was required to be paid in lieu of poll ta*. t! 3. Tfiey were required to take an oath before the clerk. yierlt was required to publish a list of registered and to furnish list to the pre siding Magistrates. These, it is conteuded, are additional qualifi cations thhf are violative df the constitution. These, jn our opinion, are statutory regula tions designed to secure the discharge of du ties cit(zen6 may owe the municipal govern ment, and to protect the purity of the hallot. It ig adding no new qualification, “and is con stitutional if it does not amount to a denial or evasion of the right conferred by the constitu tion.” The new requirement of a registration has been b ot to be the addition of a qualifica tion elector”—Cooley Const., Eteri, 601, W lov Pjck., 485 4th lowa, 804. they are hut a means of carrying out the registra tion law, and are strictly in unison with its purposes, which are to provide for the proper designation and ascertainment of a voter in municipal elections. While it may not be, and is not in the province of the Legislature to pre scribe anew qualification tor an elector, it certainly is within the scope of their authority to regulate the mode and manner of conduct ing elections, for the purpose of securing a fair and legal result at the ballot box If it is not competent for the Legislature to provide regulations for the conduct and man agement of municipal elections, beyond re quiring the electors to be clothed with the constitutional qualifications, then there would be an end of all municipal government, for every qualified voter of the county could vote at the municipal election. If registration is anew qualification, as con tended for, so would residence in tne corporate limits be, and each be violative of the consti tution. To surrender the municipal govern ments of the State to the consequencse of such a construction of our constitution, would be effectually to destroy them. We can not see how the registration acts of the city may not be consistent with the power granted the Legislature to pass a general law on the subject of registration, as contain ed in the constitution. The mere grant of this power generally we can not see how it repeals the power once’exercised in behalf of the city of Savannah. Municipal corporations form an exception to the rule which forbids the Leg islature to delegate any of its powers to sub ordinate subdivisions. Restraints on the legis lative power of control must be found in the constitution of the State or they must rest alone in the legislative discretion. If the legis lative action in these cases operates injuriously to individuals, the remedy is not with the courts. 1 hey have no power to interfere, and the people must be looked to to right, through the ballot box, all their wrongs. Cooley, 193 -3; Ibid. 167; 5 Ga. 194; 2 Rawle 374; 8 Ga. 210—36; 16 Ga. 108. The imposition of a poll tax of one dollar, to be paid at the time of registration, Is sim ply the payment of the usual poll tax due by the citizen, and which the Stats allows the city government to collect through its officials, and for which the State gets credit In the distribu tion of the school fund to Chatham county. It is a tax imposed by the Slate tor educational purposes, and collected by city officials under this local law enacted by the General Assembly. In any view we can take of this amended act, of 1872, of the charter, we can see no an tagonism between it and those provisions of the constitution “prescribing the qualifications of electors;" and seeing no inconsistency be tween these enactments and the constitution, we do not see “why this local law enacted for the benefit of the city of Savannah," “not being inconsistent with the supreme law, or with the constitution,” aud “not having expir ed or been repealed,” is not "of full force as statute law," as the constitution declares. Whatever may have been the evidence be fore the court of the wrongs and frauds al leged to have been perpetrated upon the tax payers of the city, by the enforcement of these registration acts, we can only say the Court below pronounced uo judgment on the issues therein presented, and we are not called upon to review the same. We can only add that the Legislature and not the courts are invested with the discretion of determining what laws are promotive of the public morality or otherwise, and so long as those laws are not plainly and palpably viola’ive of the constitution the courts must recognize and uphold them. Such abuses must be corrected by an appeal to the people at the ballot box. Courts have nothing to do with the wisdom, policy or expediency of a law. 'these are matters purely of legislative deliberation and cognizance. Let the judgment of the court below be affirmed. MARSHALL HOUSE.

We have n\ore than doubled the volume of our business. It has proved to us that the old adage: “SMALL PROFITS AND QUICK SALES,” IS a true one. We shall therefore follow it up strictly and continue still more to increase our business. It is inherent in people to mistrust low prices. We have had to battle against this prejudice, but we are pleased to say that our increased business proves we have o*er come it, in a great number of instances. It is strange that in this enlightened age there are yet people, and a goodly number of them, who do not think that they receive value unless they have to pay two or three times as much as the article is really worth. W T e especially allude to the Jewelry business, which is to the bulk of buyers yet a hidden mystery. We wish it to be understood that our goods are equal to any to be had elsewhere. Our Waltham Watches are the same as all other Waltham Watches, according to the fineness of the carat, and so with all other goods. We are determined to sell only such goods as will give invariable satisfaction,and what we do sell we guarantee to be as represented.

I General Remarks—There was essentially no change in the general market during the past week, which was excessively quiet, business in all departments being comparatively light, the course of trade still suffering from the dis turbance occasioned by two holidays interven ing. Besides, the very severe cold weather which prevailed has had its influence and has restricted operations very considerably, and transactions were more in a retail than a jobbing way. There is a feeling of general satisfaction prefailing in commercial circles as regards the business of the past year.which was conducted on a more solid basis, and the returns of which were more profitable than otherwise to all concerned, while the expec tations of more prosperous times in the imme diate future, which feeling appears to be uni versal. it Is sincerely to be hoped, will be realized. Owing to a lack of animation in the leading markets prices fluctuated but very little. With our market prices, as a rule, have been more regular and 3teady, with no changes worthy of note. The money market is moder ately easy, the supply not being sufficient for any extraordinary demand which might be made upon it. Naval Stores.—The market for rosins was quiet and steady for the past week, while prices ruled easier, and ct the close show a decline of sc. for the low and medium grades. The sales for the week were about 3,000 bar rels. Spirits'turpentine was very firm, with a good demand, prices advancing )sc. since last report. The sales were about 850 casks for the week. Elsewhere we give a weekly com parative table of receipts and exports from the flrit of April to date and for the same time last year, showing the stock on hand and on shipboard not cleared, with quotations at the doss of the market to-day. Cotton.—The market opened steady, which continued to Wednesday, when it be came firm, prices advancing )sc., but later was quiet, closing quiet anl easier at a decline of *4-- for all descriptions. There was but little doing in the market, holders not pressing business, while the de mand was very moderate, and transactions for the week were onl 8,401 bales. Below we give a resume of the week's business, showing the tone of the market and transactions each day, with quotations at the closing hour to-day: Saturday—Nothing doing on account of holi day. Monday—The market opened steady; at p. in. became firm, closing steady. Sales 1,004 bales. Tuesday—The market was steady and un changed throughout the day. The sales were 1,258 bales.
