On Saturday Professor Freeman had moved In his school furniture to be ready for school Mon day morning. He therefore comes in for a loss.

With such an array tine sport may he ex pected., Knowing ones here say that t e heavy rains have been of advantage to the track in consolidating the roil and putting It in line ord-r. The attractions of Ihe fair will doubt les- have the effect or shortening the morning session of the Legislature, or at all events, of expediting business. If it is possible, I will try to get out to the grounds and to furnish your readers with a brief summary of the depart ments and proceedings. A signal compliment was paid Mr.Charles M. Cooper, of St. Augustine, In placing him at the head of the Judiciary Committee ot the Assem bly. Mr. Cooper is a jouog lawyer, not ytt twenty-five years of age, and his 'selection as Chairman of the most important committee in the House shows the confidence entertained by hisassoci .tesin his ability and industry. Quick, composed and s-lf reliant, he carries the heart of a man of maturer years upon bis youthful shoulders, and although I am not a prophet, or a eon of one, I predict for this gentleman a brilliant and successful future. His many friends and constituents are justly proud or the distinction which he hss acquired, and feel assured that he will discharge his arduous duties with profit to the people and credit to himself. Tne present is his first session in the Legislature. Quite a melo dramatic scene occurred in the Senate iosterday. After the usual routine of business hal b?en concluded, one of 'he mem b*-rs announced that the Janitor of that body, Uncle Tom Mason, a worthy old colored man of this city, and well known for hi3 proficiency upon that delightful ins ruaient, the drum, had "shuffled off this mortal oil.” and moved that an election be entered into for his succes sor. Three candidates were promptly an nounced, and just as the balloting was about to commence, a messenger arrived with the information that Uncle tom was not defunct, but still alive and kicking. The lugubrious countenances of die old man’s friends bright ened into smiles, that soon broadened into hearty peals of laughter, and all faces wore a h ippier expression except thos: who aspired to the supposed vacancy. Even the grave and sedate Senators are not averse at times to a little innocent merriment, and it was sugges ts! that a committee, to be composed of the several professors of the healing art, be appointed to investigate the fac sand make a report. It is to be hoped that Uncle Tom may live to beat the drum at the inauguration of many Democratic Governors. Senator McKinne ha3 introduced a joint reso lution for the appointment cf a committee to con-ider the feasibility of disencumbering the Internal Improvement Fund of the embarrass ments i hat now clog its operations and check its usefulness. This is a subject of vital im portance, and close and scrims attention should be given to the matter. Ihisfundis like a massive strain engine, full of in herent power, but unable to procure fuel and water to supp y the force neces sary to put its machinery in motion and cause its driving wheels to revolve. Surely there must be some method to extricate this muscular bam son from the wiles of this artful Drlilah, who Las sapped his strength and un dermined his energies. Cannot a remedy be discovered and applied An important bill has been presented by Senator Crawford for the establishment of a Bureau of Agriculture. It is a fac simile ot the biil in force in Georgix and contains the clause for the appointment of a chemist to pre vent fraud in commercial fertilizers. No bi.l of greater interest hss been yet introduced. Iu the Assembly there are two members of the Fourth esta’e. Mr. M. Cooper, of the St Augustine Weekly, and Mr. C. IL Fild-s, of the Gainesville Sun and tee. In the Senate there are three, Senator Mal lory, of the Pensacola Advance, Assistant Fee re ary D. Me \lp n, of the 1-ive Oak Bulletin, and your hunib e servant, the writer, who es says t> repres*-nt the savannah Mousing Niws. Senator Powers, of St. John's, U also a retired typo. Of course there are !n both bodies nu merous volunteer amateur quill drivers whose playful flights of fancy and sharp thrusts at the men and measures around inetu will i;>- struct and entertain the readers of their local papers. Captain Dyke, of the Floridian, “the vener able Nestor’’ of Florida jourua.isin and "grim battery," as he is sometimes dubbed, although I never did know bow he acquired the latter sobiiquer, is, now and theu, an interested spectator of the proceedings at the capitol. it is, by long odds, the best and most correct stati tical editor in the State, and his articles on 'his subject are widely read and largely copied. His office presents a busy scene, and his files of exchanges arc always at the ser vice of his numerous visitors, whose presence in the s-nctum never distu-bs his equipoise, or deranges his mental serenity. Ail of the various topics comprehended in the Governor's message have been assigned to the consideration of the appropriate com mittees. who will soon cut out work sufficient for the attention of the Legislature. Without anv disparagement of the several h norable gentlemen who aspire to succeed Mr. Jones in the United States Senate, there are numerous and mighty reasons why be should be re elected. Nobody doubts the ability, denies the competency, or questions the integrity of his competitors for the office. Nobody, even in a moment of zealous Impetu osity, con say aught against their fair names and characters, or detract one iota from their valuable services. To do so would only sub ject the speaker to contempt for his meanness aud ridicule for his folly. After the 4th of March the United States Senate will be almost in equi ibriurn. The two parties will be nearly equally balanced. The South wll need specialty men of cool, well ponei hea-ds, with wisdom matured by ex perience and knowledge gained in the rough Jousts of Congressional encounters. She needs men who can soar above partisanship and bend tbeir efforts to the promotion of the general welfare—men who can forget the bitter past iu the brigh- gleam of a glorious futtire Mr. Jones’ anility is admitted, his integrity is un questioned,and the list of his services to Florida ia lengthy. Without the adventitious aid de rived from family fortune or a liberal educa tion, the force of his native talents, the exer cise of his resolute will and the employment of his indomitable Industry triumphed orer the obstacles that would hare appalled men of feebler mould, and elevated him from the humble station in life that he once occupied to his present lofty position. He has shoxn traits that practical men admire and respect, and his whole record has been that of a sincere, earnest worker. He has not yet filled the measure of his usefulne s. Florida will act wisely in retaining in her service a man devoted to her interests, true to his pete ole broad and comprehensive in his idsas, anl who, though often tried, haa never been found wanting. The sessions of the Legislature to-day were without special ifitrrest. The following bills were introduced in the Mr. Crawford-To incorporate the Carra belle and Thomasville Railroad Company. By Mr. McKay—A bill relative to the practice of dentistry. A joint resolution was adopted in the Assem bly to the effect that the Legislature as a body visit the Lunatic Asylum at Chattahoochee next Saturday. Several other bills were pre sented in the House possessing no general im- I *Theweatber Is diabolically dismal, and Inter feres great'y with the fair, commencing toMay.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS. In the House, on motion of Mr. Buckner, of Missouri, the morning hour was dispensed with by a vote of 123 to 24. Mr. F. Wood, of New York, moved that when the House next went into committee of the whole on tbe funding bill, tbe de bate on the peuding amendment should be limited to thirty minutes. Agreed to by a vote of 149 to 4 —Colfrotb, Stevenson, Hum phreys and Weaver. The House then, at 12:35, went into com mitte of the whole (Mr. Covert, of New York, in the chair) on the funding bill. Mr. F. Wood said that for himself he saw nothing Inconsistent in the establishment of a 3 per cent, rate of interest for bauds and the shortening of option indicated in the bill. He would go farther. He believed that with the removal of tbe tax on bank deposits 'he establish ment of a rate of 3 per cent, and the question of option was absolutely immaterial, because bonds and certificates would not be likely to rise to any great pre mium, and would be at any time within the reach of the government at par or at a nominal premium. He believed that a 3 per cent, rate could be safely established, and was confident of the speedy negotiation of every bond and certificate issued. Mr. Stevenson, of Illinois, opposed the bill on the ground that it did no more or less than fix a permanent national debt upon the country. Mr. Weaver, of lowa, protested against the refunding of the 5 and 6 per cents. Into aDy obligation that would take from the government the right of redemption for a single day or hour. Mr. McMillan, of Tennessee, argued In favor of the amendment which he proposed to offer, making bonds subject to taxation. Mr. Dunned, of Minnesota, a member of the Committee of Ways and Means, said that he had no doubt that a 3 per cent, bond would find ready sale, and he advocated that rate of interest. lie would vote, how ever, for a reduction of the time from twenty to ten years. Mr. O’Turner, of Kentucky, opposed the refunding theory. He was in favor of placing an income tax on capitalists aud bondholders, and letting the revenue re ceived from that tax go to the ex inguish ment of the bonds. Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, advocated a 3 per cent, bond aud an amendment to the biil so as to give the government the option of redeeming them at any time after one or two years. Mr. Buckner, of Missouri, opposed the bill, which, he said, would have the effect of making the national back system of the country permanent. Mr. Frye, of Maine, defended the national bank system, but expressed the belief that a 3 per cent, bond could not he floated, and a failure to float it would be a disaster which should be avoided. Mr. Tucker, of Vlrgtnla, argued In favor of a 3 per cent, bond, which he believed could be placed and made successful. In further debate a 3 per cent, bond was advocated by Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, ard Mr. O’Connor, of Bouth Carolina, and opposed by Messrs. Aldrich, Haskell, Harris of Virginia, and Warner. The time fixed for debate having expired, a vote was taken on Mr. Wood’s amend ment fixing tbe rate of interest on tbe re funding bonds at 3 per cent. Tbe amend ment was agreed to—yeas 132, nays 92 The second branch of the amendment, fixing the rate at 3 per cent, on notes, was agreed to without division. Mr. Sanford, of Ala.,offered an amend ment providing that before any of the bonds or notes authorized by this act are is sued, it shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to pay on bocd3 accruing during the year 1881 all the sliver dollars of 413' s grains and all the gold over and above SSO/100,000 now held in the Treasury for re demption purposes. Mr. Sanford’s amendment was adopted by a vote of 83 to 25, the Republicans refusing to vote, desiring to so load down the bill that a substitute offered by them would be adopted. Mr. Randall offered an amendment mak ing the substantial part of the section read as follows: “The Secretary of the Treasury Is hereby authorized to issue bonds In an amount of not exceeding $650,0CX),000, which shall bear i interest at the rate of three per cent, per annum, redeemable at the pleasure of the I United S'ates after years.

He would, at the proper time, move to fill up the blank In i the amendment by the insertion of the word “two," so as to make the bonds redeemable in two years.

SAVANNAH, THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 1881. senate: pbocebi>ings. la the Senate, Mr. Hoar called attention to the fact that at the last session a motion to reconsider the indefinite postponement of the Geneva award bill had been laid on the table by a very small majority; that it was understood that many Senators then opposed to the bill were pre pared to support one providing relief to a limited extent, and that a bill to this effect had been Introduced at the present session by Mr. Edmunds. He now desired to ask that Senator, who was a member of the Judiciary Com mittee, to which f-e bill was referred, whether that bill of his would be likely to be reported for action at tbe present session. Mr. Edmunds replied that he had no authority to speak for the Judiciary Com mittee, and, as tbe Chairman was not present, he could not say at what time the subject would be reported, but his indi vidual belief was that the committee would endeavor with diligence to bring the matter before the Senate. Mr. Davis, of West Virginia, submitted a resolution requesting the Fioacco Commi tee to report upon the advisability of cer tain changes in the organization of the Treasury Department and tbe transfer of several of its sub divisions, such as the life saving service, coast survey, etc., to the War Department.

The remainder of the morning hour was devoted to Mr. Logan’s j jint resolution for the extension cf the franking privilege, which finally went over without, action. The army appropriation bill was then taken up, and considerable time was spent In discussing the clause appropriating $125,- 000 to pay the land grant railroads fifty per cent, of what the Quartermaster’s Depart ment finds justly due them for transporta tion. Pending the conclusion of the debate on this clause the Senate adjourned. HOUSE COMMITTEE KEPORTS.

In reply to a question as to why they took such paius at this particular time, and iu this manner, they asked to be excused from an swering at preseut, but disclaimed any in tention of presenting the claims of Senator Bruce, J. M. Langston, or any other man for a Cabinet position or for an ciflee of any kind. Cleveland.

Watkins, of Courtland, addressed the Gen eral, setting forth the condition of the col ored people In the South, tbeir lack of education, and asking that his administration do what it can to aid the education of the blacks. General Garliell responded that the education of their children was the foremost duty of all 'he American people, and assuring them that what could be would not fail to be done. He urged them to avoid raising color lines aud not to separate themselves from the mass of the people. FEARFUL BOILER EXPLOSION. An Enslneer, Fireman and Oiler Killed—A Miraculous B*cape.

Parnell’s Protest—lie Puts the House on Notice—A Deputation Walts on Sir. Gladstone—Destruction of a Mall Car In County Limerick. London, January 12, 3:30 p. m. —ln the House of Commons to day, Mr. Forster, Chief Secretary for Ireland, asked the mem bers whose bills are on orders of the day not to insist on their rights, as the govern ment desired to proceed with the debate on the address la reply to the Queen’s speech, when the Irish members began obstructive objections and the wrangle continued. It has now lasted three hours. London, January 12,9:30 p. m Ultimate ly the motion that debate on the address be resumed was carried by a vote of 230 to 33. {Oq tbe resumption of debate on the ad dress, Mr. Shaw Lefevre, Secretary to the Admiralty, said he believed that the mere passage of the coercion bills would proba bly be sufficient to terminate the state of terror in Ireland, and that the government would not be obliged to enforce its excep tional powers. Tne present state of Ireland, he said, was largely due to conservative neglect of the Irish question, and he trusted that Parliament would now be prepared to deal with the land laws in a generous spirit., so as to secure a permanent settlement, and be trusted that the question would be dealt with in accordance with Irish rather than English ideas. The debate was then adjourned until to morrow. Tbe London correspondent of tbe New castle Chronicle, Mr. Joseph Cowen’s paper, says: “Should the representations of tbe deputation which is to wait on Mr. Glad stone to-day not Induce the government to abandon Its anticipated measure on the Irish land question, the original idea of united action by both the English and Irish Liberals, which was yesterday abandoned in the belief tbat such a combi nation might have the appearance of a threat to the Catdnet, will be resorted to. Further action will be, in any event, suspended until a draft of the bill is in the hands of the members.” In the House of Commons this afternoon, just before the divielon was taken which closed the obstructive debate, Mr. Parnell said his party had made their protest agaiust tbe action of the government. He said his conduct in the House had always been fair and above board, but he would not pledge himself as to the conduct of himself and friends when the bills for the coercion of the Irish people are introduced. A deputation of members of Parliament waited on Mr, Gladstone on the Irish laud question, and presented a memorial recom mending as essential, lri order to secure unity and enthusiasm among the Liberals in Parliament and contentment, in Ireland, that the laud bill shall include a comprehensive scheme of peasant, proprietary, accompani ed by the “three F’s,” also recommending consideration of the subject of reclamation of waste lands. The deputation discussed the subject in a conversational manner for fully two hours. Mr. Gladstone said he was glad to have the opportunity of hearing their views, and that he hoped he would not introduce any bill which would be Ineffectual. The Standard this evening says: “We understand that the deputation deemed the result of tbeir interview satisfactory.” Limerick, January 12.—The Tralee and Listowel mail car was attacked last night near Longhil), county Limerick.

COWARDLY ASSASSINATION. Shot Down bjr Unknown Party- Moonshiner* Believed to be the Perpetrator*. Louisville, Kir., January 12.—A special from Gallatin, Tenn., to tbe Courier Journal ss}: “Captain Skeene, a tveil known and respectable citizen, who lives about eight miles north of here, while In his yard attending to domestic duties, was fired upon by an unknown party and fatally wounded.

Fisk and Algernon 8. Sullivan. Mr. Haywood, of Nebraska, offered a res olution directing the Executive Committee to furnish all of the non-resident Commis sioners with a full, clear and comprehen sive report of what had been done by tbe Commission, and the work they expected to do, together with a map and description of the proposed site, with the view of hav ing the subject laid before the various Leg islatures now in session. Unanimously adopted. A communication was received from ex- Mayor Cooper resigning from the Commis sion. his resignation was unanimously ac cepted, aud Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt was selected by acclamation ia his stead. A communication was received from the American Agricultural Association tender ing aesistaDce, pecuniary and otherwise, to the Commission. Brief addresses were made by George A. Baker, of Ohio, and B. 8. Bevier, of Ken tucky. Albert A. Ktis, cf Tennessee, also ad dressed the meeting and said that the Gov ernor of the State he represented would call the attention of the Legislature to the pio po6ed exhibition, and he felt assured that his State would give hearty aid and co operation in the matter. The Committee on Permanent Organiza tion, through their Chairman, Dr. Newman, presented a report recommending that the officers of the Commission should consist of a President, no more than twelve Vice Presidents, a Beeretary, Treasurer and fiscal agent. The report was unanimously adopted. The committee also reported that they had not been able to see or consult with any of the gentlemen who had been named for permanent officers, and would consequent ly require more time In order to complete their work. The committee suggested that the temporary organization should remain as at present, and when they tee) had determined upon the names to bo presented as permanent officers, the conven tion should again be called together by the chairman. There was great opposition to the last clause of the proposition, several Commis sioners from abroad contending that there was no cause for delay, and that delays were dangerous to the enterprise. A motion to adjourn until February 10th was lost, and after one hour’s discussion the Commissioners took a recess until 2 p. m. to-morrow. THE NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Auotlier Active Day-Effect of the Consolidation on Telegraph Shares —A Decline in Price* on Late Deal ing*.

Louisville, Ky., January 12 —A special from Chattanooga says a report has reached that city that James M. Ray had been kill ed a few days ago in Scott county. Riy was District Attorney for the Third Tennes see Circuit. He was half brother of Con gressman L. C. Houk, of tbe Second Tennessee district. The exact cause of 'he killing has not yet come to light, one rumor being that Riy had an altercation with a man who insulted his wife. Ray attempted to fir?, but before he could draw his weapon his assailant split his head open with an axe. Knoxville, Tenn., January 12.—The re port that James M. Ray, formerly District Attorney, had been killed in Scott county, is incorrect. A gentleman here saw him on Sunday, and the murder is said to have oc curred on Saturday last. A Horrible Deed. Peterborough, N. H., January 12.—At six o’clock this evening Patrick Walsh, aged 40, and his wife, who lived in the rear of the Baptist Church, were found outside upon the 6now| she dead, with her throat cut, and he was near her with his throat cut from ear to ear, and almost dead. A rszor was found iu the house. It is supposed t hat after cutting her throat he cut his own, and both then we at outside. They leave a family of four children. He lived but a few moments. No cause is known for tbe deed. 'flic Weather In Lonbtiana and Mis slaslppl. New Orleans, January 12.—The rainy weather throughout this State and Missis sippi has rendered the roads Impassable, de ’■vyed tbe movement of produce and mer chandise, aud causes an almost unprece dented dullness In business. A special from Holly Springs says that two prominent dry goods merchants there made assignments, and that everything was very much depressed by the continuance of bad weather. A Bobbery and a Fire In Texa*. Galveston, January 12— The following specials have been received: “Liberty, January 10.—The safe of J. D.

OUR ATLANTA LETTER. Weather and Mad—Snow and Flow ers-General New* Item*—Minor Topics—Personal and Otherwise— A Swift Retribution—Capt. W. A. Shaw and the D—l Personal Para graph*—Composition ol Whittaker Court Martial—Final Paragraphs— Censns—Tbe Southern Farmer** Month-ly—Henry Bergb a* a Dram atist—Dr. E, A. Flewellen. Atlanta, January 11.—We are Still having wether with the a—that is. it is tough. One day of sunshine for a month can hardly be called weather—a good spel*. Snow, rain, sleet or fog and drizzle have been and still are our dally portion, and no signs of any immediate im provement. My last letter predicted a cold spell with more snow, but I was mistaken. A warm rain car ried off the snow, and since then we have had rain or dampne-s, with chilly atmosphere, every day. This has put Atlanta streets into a most horrible condition and aroused general indig nation. But the “Gate City” has only commenced to learn the lessons of misfortune and trouble and care that are sure to sooner or later over take a rapidly growing city. Savannah, Macon, Augusta, Columbus and Rome have had a little experience in such matters, and now and hence forth Atlanta must go through the same finan cial troubles before she can fully meet the de mands upon her treasury, for goed streets, more school houses, a larger police force, bet ter waterworks, and a complete system of sew erage. To delay these matters is to invite death and disease to become prominent residents of the city. The late severe snov.- storms played sad havoc with the flower pits and summer houses and hot (cold) houses in this vicinity. Some par ties managed to save their flowers and plants by the free use of artificial heat, but many others suffered great loss. Mrs. P. H. Snook, one of Atlanta’s most devoted lovers of beauti ful flowers, lost the contents of her flue sum mer bouse. For a poor man my own loss is great, but I am comforted to think that where 1 lo j t one hundred dollars. John Hoey, of New York, the great express king, lost ten thousand dollars by the snow on his summer houses. GENERAL NEWS ITEMS. Mr. Malcolm Johnston, so long and favorably known as the efficient Secretary of the Geor gia Agricultural Convention, has retired from that position, and is now in charge of the ex tensive new freight depot of the Atlanta and Charlotte Air-Line Railway, an important and responsible position. Savannah does not monopolize the deadly work of the toy pistol. Joseph Atkins, of I Greensboro, Ala., is dead, and Claude Jones is j dying, both boys,victims to the toy pistol. The city authorities of Montgomery, All., have 1 published an ordinance prohibiting the sale of toy pistols, and have affixed a heavy fine for all violators of the ordinance. As the General Assembly of Florida proposes to pass la bill providing maimed Confederate soldiers with artificial limbs, it is to be hoped the bill will be so guarded in its provisions as to prevent the frauds and misapplications that have attended the passage of a similar bill here in Georgia. 'J he bill should provide for the supply of limbs, and not their equiva lent in money. Or, if money is given, it should be secured to the soldier’s family in a way to be beneficial to them. I The hanging of Mrs. Meierhofer, in New Jer sey, for the murder of her husband, has brought to notice again tbe hanging of Susan Eberhart, in this State, for the murder of her Saramour’s wife Both cases are similar. Lrs. M. had a paramour, and they conspired to kill her husband. Both were hanged. Susan Eberhart’s paramour had a sick and helpless wife, and they censpired to murder her. Both were also hanged. In cases oe or dinary murder a woman ought to expect clemency, but in cases of this kind there i should be no exception on account of sex. Such inhuman conspirators should know that their fate wid be the same when convicted and sentenced ior murder. MINOR TOPICS. It is no longer “the Chinese must go,” but I “Marshal Fi'zsimons must go.” After a long j and remarkably successful contest with his op ponents, this official will probably “step down and out ’in favor of 11. i. Kimball. It is an office no Democrat can occupy with comfort or security while the other Federal officials are Republicans. The Atlanta market is badly overstocked whit mules, and 1 hear the traders at the Mark ham Bouse talk rather despondently. Now is a good time for Savannah purchasers to come up and get some fino bargains in horses and mules. One stable has a lot of Mexican mules, funny looking little things, solid and frisky and tough Augusta has for several year* had a success ful Chemical and Fertilizer Company, man aged by some of her leading business men, and now Atlanta proposes to try a similar enter prise. The Inman Brothers, wealthy and suc cessful cotton factors, with a few associates, have applied to the Superior Court for a char ter, and will push the enterprise to as speedy a completion as possible. A. Park .Woodward, Esq., formerly Chief Deputy Marshal to United States Marshal Fitz simons. was on Wednesday elected on Judge Strong’s ticket as his assistant in the fcuperior Court Clerkship. Bu if H. I. Kimball is ap pointed United States Marshal, as rumored, Woodward will probably bs reinstated as Deputy Marshal. He is an experienced busi ness man and popular with all classes. The famous comer stone of the proposed “memorial armory” of the Gate City Guards, whi -h was laid under peculiar circumstances during fair week—in October—has taken to itself wings like the morning and quietly stolen away to some sa f e and less exposed place, where it will probably remain until another grand military reunion offers an appropriate occasion for its being relaid on some other chosen spot of earth. Thus ends another gj and sensational enterprise. w hite aud colored emigration to Texas and the Southwest continues unabated, snd every day the depot here is crowded with families leaving for that section of the South. Emi grant rates are given them from Atlanta by two routes, one over the Western and Atlantic Railroad and the other over the Atlanta and West Point Railroad, vja Montgomery, Ala. Alluding to the Swiss immigrants settled .on the Air-Line Railway, the Boston Express well says: “The spectacle is rather extraordinary. A distant colony among the best and. most thrifty people on the face of the earth are seeking a favored spot to cultivate, while those born upon the soil are seeking acres and homes elsewhere.” Alas! how true,and sad Is this statement. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. The esse of Miss Byrd, of which so much has been said in the papers, was simply another one of those cases in which death fails to re move all evidences of life in the body. Such cases are frequently recorded, one being to day telegraphed from Baltimore. Miss Byrd was dead from the first, and her body h;s ceen buried at Oakland Cemetery. Our excellent retiring Mayor, the Hon. Wm. Loundes Calhoun, has stepped into the more desirable office of Ordinary, although he is no ordinary man. His honored father was Mayor when Sherman took Atlanta, and was a citizen beloved and respected by el!. His son, with out being aggressive or energetic, has be- n equally popular with the masses. He is a gentleman of quiet manners, amiable disposi tion and great moral worth, and will make a ‘good Ordi nary’ official. It is beginning to crop out in several direo- 1 tions that Mr. Edward Atkinson has a pretty big axe to grind in getting up his proposed great cotton exposition in Atlanta, and that several other Northern men interested in the matter have numerous hitchets to sharpen on the same grindstone. This has led to the sug- j gestion that these men lake all the risk con- nected with an outlay of a hundred or two thousand do lars needed to put the exposition into operation. It is too big an experiment for Atlanta, and has as little money in it as Sarah Bernhardt’s appearance here would bring to her local backers. A SWIFT RETRIBUTION. Profess? r Gunn’ng has been delivering 1 a very interesting course of scientific lectures before the Young Men’s Library Association, and his audiences were especially pleased with his humorous, conversational way of deserib- ing things. Even heavy subjects were made attractive in this way by him. One of his il- lustrations would prove of interest to your Florida readers, although I imagine that the events which Professor Gunning makes to oc cur so rapidly may have really happened at times widely separated. He probably wished to illustrate the law of spetdy retribution in a style peculiar to Mark Twain. He was one day railing up the St. John’s river on the steamer George M. Bird, in tom mand of Captain W. A. Shaw, and as he stood looking toward the river bank, he saw a large fish jump eut of the water and catch a smafer fish, when a fish hawk flying near pounced upon the big fish and caDtured it; but hsrdly had it done so before an eagle swooped down and gathered the hawk in its secure embrace and carried him ashore. Just at that moment an alligator open'd his capacious mouth and made a meal of the eagle, hawk and fish, vet bad scarcely finished tbe job when a bullet from Captain Shaw’s trusty rifla stretched the alligator out on the shore in the agonies of death. And. remarked the Professor, with a j peculiar smile, I don’t know but what the d— 1 stood ready to gobble up Captain Shaw next, j but spared him on account of his passengers, who were very much attached to him. THE WHITTAKER COURT MARTIAL. There are some peculiar features about the court martial ordered for tbe trial of Cadet Whittaker, the colored West Pointer, worthy of a passing mention in this letter. Brigadier General N. A. Miles, the President, is a nephew, by marriage, of General Win. T. Sherman, who has been most outspoken in h!s opposition to the President's policy. But Ma jor A. B Gardner (of the Bureau of Military Justice), the Judge Advocate of the court, and General Bchofleld are bitterly arrayed against each oth'-r, and serious results may follow their misunderstanding. Tbe composition of the court is also some what peculiar. No member was a cadet at the West Point Academy after colored boys were introduced there. Capt. Royal T. Frank (now Major), of Maine, graduated in 1858; Major Lewis Merrill, of Pennsylvania, in 1855; Lieu tenant Colonel J. M. Brannan, of District of Columbia, in 1841: Colonel Pinkney Lugenbeel. I of Maryland, in 1840. Colonel H. A. Morrow, of Virginia, Major E. V. Sumner, of Pennsylvania. Captain J. N. Craig, of Massachusetts, Captain Merrett Barber, or Vermont, General Miles, of Massachusetts. Major Gardner, of New York are not Wet Pointers. Should General Miles, as President, favor General Bherman’s views, and thereby sustain General Schofield, be will be met and counter- 1 acted at the other end of the court by Major Gardner, as Judge Advocate, who will lose no 1 opportunity to strike at General Schofield i through this investigation. West Point ha* ESTABLISHED 1850. only four graduates in the court, with six, in cluding the Judge Advocate, from civil life. Of the cavalry officers neither is from the Tenth Regiment, where Lieutenant Henry O. Flipper, the colored graduate, is now serving. Major Gardner has been on duty at West Point, and this fact will give him an advantage in the management of the case, and some very lively episodes may be anticipated, especially if General Schofield is introduced as a witness The court is to meet: at the “Army Building” in New York city, on the 18 h, aud from frs peculiar composition and its most unenviable labors, viewed in even a favorable light, it is destined to pass into history as one of the most remarkable of courts martial The put ting of Major Gardner in the court as its Judge Advocate, whether eo intended or not, has iu jected a very dangerous element into the pro ceedings, and one that will be heard from be fore the court finishes its labors. FINAL PARAGRAPHS. Tlie Atlanta and Alabama Railroad charter is waking up the Georgia Western Re ilroad advocates, and lively times taay be looked for in that direction. Atlanta is bound to have cheap coal over one or the other of these pro posed lines. 1 see that Messrs. Perkins Bruce, of this city, adorn their adver isement in the Southern Farmer's Monthly with a fine picture of our project© i new court house. It is something like the Macon temple of law, only a little mors elaborate. The architects (P. B i are without superiors in their line, and Rome aud Atlanta are beautiful with their designs. High praise is being given the January turn berof tne Southern Farmer's Monthly, and i's future success predicted. Mr Pbil F. Brown, of the Markham House, who has a flue farm in conn ctlon with his Blue Ridge Springs Hotel In Virginia, says be considers it the best pub lication of the kiod in the South, sad mails it regularly to his brother lu Virginia after read ing it carefully himself. Colonel Wadley has again shown his superior pood judg-meDt in (he selection of subordinate managers of his railroad and steamship interests. Much ot his success may be clearly traced to this feature in his past conduct I question very positively if a y other man in a similar position ever made so man? good appointments as he has done. The appointment of I)r. E. A. Flewellea as General Manager of the Savannah and Memphis Rail road means business, and a great deal of it for Savannah in the future. He is the light man in the right place to make the road a success. Census matters are delicate things, and yet one of the best estimates made in regard to ibe census of ci'ies, is that of one of the oldest and most honored citizens of Atlanta, who told me three months ago fliat the population of this city could not exceed £5,030, if only bona fide residents were enumerated. The official cen sus report makes the population 34,398. For a city then claiming 50,000 inhabitants, I think his estimate was a remarkably prophetic one. He is well posted about Atlanta from its ear liest infancy, and watches its growth with an eye to his own profit. Chatham. Letter from Effingham Conaty. Effingham Count r, January VZ.—Editor Morning News The kindly interest you have always manifesto 1 in our county, and the deep interest we feel in your city, causes us to take up our pen aud send you a few lines relative to the past, present and future of both. We can not say much encouraging about our county at this time, as we are not progressing very rapidly. Indeed, we are about at a standstill—stuck in the mud, if you will allow an expression in which there is more truth than poetry—at this writing. Our farmers don’t know what to do, as it is "water, water all around,” and not a place where they can plough, hoe or do any ihingelse. We have had constant and con tinued rains, and the whole country is under water. And this reminds me, Mr. Editor, to request you please to ask the Road Commis sioners to put the Augusta road—between the canal and the Central Railroad crossing—in better order, as these of our county who have ventured to town complain very much about the condition of the road, at this point especi ally. We hope that as there is "an end to all things” the end of this dreadful weather is not very far off. ■We have been called upon to mourn with our esteemed fellow citizen, 8. F. Keller, Esq., the death of his estimable wife. Her demise took place on the night of the 10th inst., after a long and painful illness, the nature of which it was not in the power of man to benefit. Mrs. Kel ler was a kind, hospitable lady, and os such was known to many of the people of your city, who have found a warm welcome at her home. Her loss will be felt through this entire com munity, and especially among the sick, as it was her custom, as long as her health would admit, to visit them and endeavor to aid them by every means in her power We had quite an exciting time in our county election, which took place last week. We hope that those who were elected will make as good officers as their predecessors, to whom we are indebted for the prosperous condition of the county. I see thatyour election for Mayor is shortly to come off, and that Capt. D. G. Purse has been nominated for the office. As there are gen erally several tickets brought forward on this occasion, we trust that our old. true and tried. Democrat! j principles will be adhered to, and that he being the regular nominated candi date for office, all Democrats will cast their votes for him in preference to their friends. Captain Purse has a splendid record as a busi ness man, having conducted liis own affairs successfully, ana reflected great credit upon bis constituents as Chairman of Finance and other positions in which he has been placed. We feel that in electing him to the position of Mayor the citizens of Savannah will confer a great benefit upon themselves. Prior Civ is. Brief Telegraphic Snmmarv. The Texas Legislature met and organized at Austin yesterday. There is no change in the New York Senatorial situation. Each candidate claims a sufficient following to entitle him to the position. The Greek press continues to consider war with Turkey only a question of time, ami to regard it as inevitable, even after arbitration. In the Pennsylvania House cf Representa tives yesterday thirty eight names were put in nomination for the office of United States Senator. The master and officers of the German bark Duppel, which arrived at Queenstown on the sth inst., from Fernandina, were charged with ill-treating a British sailor duriug the voyage. The mate was fined three pounds and the carpenter one pound. The others were dismissed. Tennessee’s Vote for Governor and President.

She Corning pews. NO. 3 WHITAKER STREET, (MORNING NEWS BUILDING). JF. H. K3TILL. Pfoprtfior. W. Editor. THURSDAY. JANUARY 13, 1881. TAPPING THE WIKB9. In the House of Commons, yesterday. de bate on the Qaeen’s address was continued. Mr. Shaw Lefevre, Secretary of the Admi ralty, said he believed the mere passage of the coercion bill would probably be suffi cient to terminate the state of terror in Ire land. He hoped Parliament would now be prepared to deal with the land laws in a generous spirit, so as to secure a permanent settlement. Just before the debate on the address was resumed, Mr. Parnell stated that his conduct In the House had always been open and above board, and he would net pledge himself as to the conduct of himself or friends when the coercion bills are introduced. The Executive Committee in charge of the unofficial ceremonies and parade inci dent to the inauguration of General James A. Garfield, has extended Invitations to all military organizations known to the Ad jutant Generals of the several States, and have received very favorable responses from all parts of the Union. The committee now extend a cordial invitation to all civic and other associations throughout the Union to be present and participate in the parade. The first conference of the National Land and Industrial League was held at the gt. James Hotel, New York, yesterday. Delegates were present from all sections of the Union. John T. Miller was yesterday elected United States Senator from California, and James G. Fair United States Bicator from Nevada. The boiler of the Union Flouring Mills, of Detroit, Michigan, exploded yesterday with terrific force, wrecking the structure and killing the engineer, fireman and oiler. One man standing outside was severely Injured. Three horses were also killed. Mr. Sweet, manager of the Glucose Works, connected with the mill, was blown some distance, bat escaped serious harm. A plot to assassinate Charles Bradlaugb, by a party of foreigners, while on faia way home from the House of Commons, has been discovered. The World’s Fair Commission yesteiday elected members of the Board of Finance, and a resolution was adopted directing the Executive Committee to furnish all the non resident Commissioners with a;full,clear and comprehensive report of what had been done by the Commission. Senator Charles Jones has been nomi nated in caucus by the Democratic mem bers of the Florida Legislature as bis own successor in the United States Senate. In the United States House of Repre sentatives yes’erdav, the morning hour was dispensed with and the House went into committee of the whole on the funding bill. After considerable debate, and the adoption of an amendment fixing the rate of interest on the refunding bond at S per cent., Mr. Randall offered an amendment to the effect that “the Secre tarv of the Treasury be authorized to issue bonds in an amount of not exceeding $650,000,000, which shall bear interest at the rate of three per eent. per annum, re deemable at the pleasure of the United States after years.” Mr. Wood moved that the committee rise to enable the mem bers to carefully examine this amendment, which was agreed to, and the House ad journed. No business of any special in terest was transacted in the Senate. Captain Skeece, a well known and re spectable citizen living near Louisville, Ky., was the victim of a brutal attempt at assas sination yesterday. He is expected to die at any moment. It is thought the deed was committed by moonshiners. The Mobile Cotton Exchange have ap proved the Reagan bill, now before Con gress, to regulate icter-State commerce, and to prevent unjust discrimination by common carriers. A crowd of colored politicians are on thei. way to Mentor to see General Garfield. They say they want to tell him about the condition of the colored race in the South as they know it. It is shrewdly suspected, however, that they are after something else. The New York stock market was again characterized by great activity, Telegraph shares leading the advance. Transactions aggregated 45,000 shares. Patrick Walsh. Peterboro, yesterday evening killed his wife and then committed suicide. No cause is assigned for the deed. The Indiana Republicans have nominated General Ben. Harrison for United States Senator. A Land League was formed and a consid erable sum of money subscribed In aid of the Irish Land League, in Augusta, Ga. yesterday. In addition to the three F’s, it is sur mised that Mr. Gladstone is about to give the Irish people a big C in Coercion. This would be an exceedingly foolish thing to do. The "agrarian outrages” committed by the Ii ish, so far, consist for the most part in letting certain ob noxious persons severely alone. Since neither the existing law nor any device of legislation that it is possible to frame can prevent what i3 known as Boycot ting, it is the height of folly and iDjus tice to resort to the unusual step of authorizing a suspension of the opera tion of the laws at the discretion of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. It may well be doubted whether British statesman ship. with all its shrewdness and fertility of resources, can force the Irish people to have dealings with those whom they have determined to ignore. The Min istry ought to be content with the scru pulous abstinence from actual outbreak and violence which has marked the con duct of the Irish throughout the pending troubles in the presence of the most ex traordinary provocation. In the article from the Baltimore Hun •which we print in another column ex- Secretary Thompson not only explains his relationship to the proposed Panama interoceanic canal, but also gives some interesting facts in rc eard to the organi zation of M. De Lesseps’ company-and the stipulations contained in the grant of the Colombian Government, which establish the purely commer cial character of the enterprise, and en tirely relieves it from anything like con flict with the so-called Monroe doc trine." In view of the character of the proposed ship canal, as set forth by Mr. Thompson, it is difficult to see on what ground this government, or any other government, can justify interference to prevent its construction by private capi tal. Certainly our government is in no condition to attempt such interference in defiance of the maritime powers of the world. Mr Thomas Hughes, in an address to the Workingmen's College of London, recently stated that the cooperative store of his Tennessee colony is a suc cess already. They call it the “Com missary’’ out there. The company built the store and handed it over to the colo ny on one condition, that it should not be made exclusive, but that every neigh boring settler, whether Rugby or not, should be free to take a $5 share. Its business is to sell genuine articles only, and no liquor. People for miles around come to deal there; every Rugby colonist is a shareholder; and the first month after it was handed over, there was a profit of over $2,000 to the credit of the shareholders. The Clement Attachment. We see that Mr. 8. R. Cockrill, Vice President of the Mississippi Valley Cot ton Planters' Association, has addressed a letter to Bouthern planters, showing the great advantage to them of spuming their cotton into yarns in the Add by means of the Clement Attachment He estimates the annual cotton crop at 5,000,000 bales, worth, in its raw state, $225,000,000. By converting this into yam, by means of this attachment, he claims that its value will be easily doubled, and that the crop would be woith $450,000,000. He estimates that one hundred bales of cotton, of 450 pounds each, is worth, after being ginned, ten cents a pound or $4,500 gross. but the same cotton, converted into yarn from the seed, would be worth twenty cents a pound, and would yield to the farmers a net profit of $3,450. To accomplish the object he advocates, Mr. Cockrill advises planters in various localities to combine and erect building for the attachment in each neighbor hood, at a cost of from $2,000 to $5,000, and then enter into a partnership con tract with the owners of the machines, by which both parties would share in the profits of the spinning. In this way, he says at little cost, there could be placed in use at the South 10,000,000 spindles, with which 2,000,000 bales of cotton could be spun into yam from the seed. This would require an average of 200 mills of 5,000 spindles, or 400 mills with 4,500 spindles each, and he thinks the latter size would be best to begin with, since they could be enlarged after wards, if found advisable. On this point he says "Suppose the planters begin and build houses for the spindles, only five a year, in three years they would have the num ber required for each county. These mills, after being put into operation, would be permanent property, owned by the planters and spinners, of great value to them and the country. The profits then should be appropriated to the exten sion and improvement of the mills and machinery and the erection of new mills, until the cotton States badAnilis to spin 3.500,000 bales, being the quantity we are compelled to gin and bale and com press and sell to go to Europe. Why are we compelled to send it to Europe? Be cause they have the spindles and we have not. The spindles are 4,000 miles from the cotton fields now, and we, the cotton growers, have it in our power to put them up in the cotton fields and spin the new cotton into thread and make biles of vour yarn worth from SBO to SIOO a bale.” This is a subject necessarily of great interest to the cotton planter. Mr. Cockrill's ideas may be fanciful and theoretical, but it is hardly likely that they are uot practical. His high posi tion in the Mississippi Valley Cotton Planters’ Association is very conclusive proof that he is a man who understands that of which he speaks, and the figures which he gives show that he has devoted much thought to the subject. If his figures are correct, the plan he suggests is certainly worth a trial, for at very slight cost—ODe which in a combination of planters and spinners would scarcely be felt-the wealth of our section would be largely increased at once. We hope the experiment which he suggests of con verting cotton into yarns in the field will soon be given a fair trial. If it succeeds it will, beyond doubt, be immensely popular, and the South will rapidly be come what she ought to become —the great cotton spinning, as well as cotton producing, section of the world. What the Census Shows. Census items are numerous just now. Some progressive genius has made a comparison between the population of the United States and that of various European countries, based upon the latest statistics. He says: "Compared with the great nations of Europe, the United States show a greater population than any except Russia, which contains over 72,000,000 of inhabitants. Against our .50,152,559 Germany shows 42,727,- 360; Austria Hungary, 37,331,420; France, 36,905,788; Great Britain and Ire land, 34,160,000; Italy, 27,769,475; Spain, 16,526.511. The total population of Europe is given by the Almanack de (Jotha as 311,763,713. Hence we have even now only about one sixth as many inhabitants, though our area and that of Europe as a whole are nearly equal.” And here is a list of the eight largest States in the Union with some facts in regard to them: "The eight largest States in the Union are in the order named: (1) New York, (2) Pennsylvania, (3) Ohio, (4) Illinois, (5) Missouri, (6) In diana, (7) Massachusetts, (8) Kentucky. The aggregate population of these States in 1880 was 23,221,475, and in 1870 it was 19,224,799. They had then just about one-half the total population; they now fall short of it by nearly two mil lions.” The French Subsidy Bill. The English are growing quite alarmed over the plan proposed in the French Assembly to increase French trade by granting subsidies to French iines of steamships. The bill offered in the French Assembly, and which is known as "the merchant-marine bill,” is to be in force ten years from its pas sage, aDd proposes to grant a bounty payable to the contractors of the bulls and engines of iron and steel ships built in France, of sixty francs per gross ton of hull; second, a bounty of one and one half franc per ton, payable to the owners of loreign-going French vessels run on any direct maritime line. This bounty is quite large, and would give a ship of 2,400 tons burden, costing about $600,000, $40,000 to $45,000 a year, or from 13 to 15 per cent on her value, and would thus euable the French steamers to carry freight at rates that would sim ply pay the direct outlay on the voyage. The English shipowners are naturally alarmed at the outlook, and recently pre sented Lord Grenville a memorial calling attention to these facta, and declaring that unless the English Government will do something to aid them, French ships will drive English commerce from the seas and compel the English shipowners to register their vessels in France. They would then be manned partly by French crews, and be liable to requisition on the part of France m the event of a war. The electric light, immediately upon its general introduction, is destined to prove a formidable competitor with gas, because it will be supplied at much cheaper rates. One of the New York companies is now placing its wires along three of the principal streets of that city—Broadway, Wall and Broad— agreeably to the application of many owners of banking and other business bouses. The price at present is only a trifle less than that of gas, but when the light comes into common use the cost will be grea'ly reduced. New Yore's Pboperjtt.—The total valuation of assessable property in New York city for the present year is fixed at $980,789, #39—an increase of $38,209,- 939 over last year. Most of the increase is in the uptown wards, 1,000 additional buildings having been erected in the Nineteenth ward alone. Many addi tional buildings have been erected also in the Twelfth, Eighteenth and Twenty second wards. The Republican Party to be Reor ganized in the South. The New York Tribune, which as sumes to be Mr. Garfield’s mouthpiece, says: "A movement will doubtless be made after the inauguration of General Garfield to reorganize the Republican party in tbe South. If, at the outset, no grave blunder is committed, a strong and compact organization can be built up in that section. But the mistake can be easily perpetrated of making it wholly dependent upon government pat ronage. Such an organization would prove a burden instead of a help, as has been demonstrated on more than one occasion. First of &U, those who undertake to lead the Southern Republi cans should learn that the party is one with well dtjfiped principles, for which it is willing to battle, to accept defeat with resignation, and to use victory wisely. If no Republican party can be held together in the South except by the cohesive power of public patronage, the sooner the attempt to build up one is abandoned the better. Only by having an organization that will command respect can the liberal, intelligent ele ment in that section be attracted to the Republican party. A little foresight now will save a vast deal of trouble in the future.” The importance of having "an or ganization that will command respect” is not overrated by the Tribune as an essential element in its scheme for build ing up a Republican party in the South, but the Tribune ignores the fact that there is at the South no respectable "in telligent” element with which to form such an organization. The existing Radical faction in the South furnishes no such attractive material, and surely the Tribune could not expect to find it among those whom it has so fiercely and persistently denounced as Southern "bar barians and traitors.” A Trick. The Detroit Free Frees calls attention to a trick that one of the leading “Re views” is seeking to play. It is up to snuff and means to make a whole army of hero worshipers sneeze the middle of next month. The Free Press says: “It is well enough, perhaps, for the editor of the Norik American Review, and for the Grant organs to announce with great flourish that General Grant will contribute to the February number of the Review a paper on the isthmus canal question. It advertises the Reriete, and advertises Grant It is also an nounced that the February number of the Review will be published about the middle of thi* mouth; that is to say, from ten days to two weeks earlier than usual. Why all this imposing procla mation ancj this eager hurry? Is the promised article to be a notable literary or political event? Not at all. The truth is the article so much heralded was writ ten by a member of the House of Repre sentatives, who is taking an active part in the fight against the Da Lesseps pro ject, and is conspicuous in the Nicara guan movement. General Grant con tributes to the production the signature of his name. The article with U. S. Grant” attached is to be used by the Nicaraguan lobby to further the interest of the Grant canal company in Congress. And that is why the February number of the North American Review is to be brought out several days m advance of the usual date of publication. The Montgomery Advertiser is right when it says that the idea that General Grant could write anything fit for a re spectable periodical is absurd. Every body knows that since the death of Gen eral Rawlins he has had to rely for the most part upon anybody that would come to his help. His own productions, whether delivered through the press or from the 6tump. are only emanations of dullness. New York's Mayor. New Yotk’snew Major is the recipient of many kind words from the press of both parties of that city, Tribune, in alluding to his message, toot occa sion to withdraw, in a very handsome manner, the charges it made against Mr. Grace during the campaign, saving, that after a full examination into the fact* connected with the case, it was irresisti bly forced to declare that the slander had not the slightest foundation to sus tain it In his message Mayor Grace avows his determination to hold a strict rein over department expenditures, and to resist the allowance of all but strictly legal claims against tbe city, many such claims beiDg urged, he says, "the most of which, are based upon imaginary services or grossly exaggerated charges.” He con demns emphatically the habit of allowing departments to exceed their legal appro priations, and expresses his determina tion to refuse to sanction the practice, and in view of the extravagant sums paid for inefficiently cleaning the streets he recommends the creation of a com mission of three persons, to be charged with the supervision and control of this work, of which the Mayor himself shall be one. The Czar Alexander is erroneously supposed to lead the most painful exist ence of any "boss” in Europe on ac count of the Nihilistic plotters, but Prince Bismarck travels an equally thorny way, as appears from the follow ing extract from a foreign letter; "Relays of his body guard of fourteen men are with him day and night, while his celebrated mastiff, which came so near killing Gortschakoff, is seldom from his master’s side. Friedrichruhe, the country seat of the German Chancellor, has been included in those places which have been declared in a ‘state of siege.' All strangers who approach that locality are trackek by spies, and often harmless citizens are conducted to the railway sta tion and requested not to approach too near to the Chancellor. When he is in Berlin Bismarck has, besides, twelve of tbe ablest men of the secret police to care for his safety, and as he fears to promenade in public he has the use of one of the royal gardens, where he daily rides or walks, accompanied by his guards. Overwork has utterly unstrung his nerves, and often an absurd suspi cion of some plot against his life so haunts him that sleep is impossible. Late in one night of last October he wai seized with the suspicion that some would-be Hartmann had placed dynamite in bis railway carriage. Instructions were immediately sent to tho Chief of Police to examine the carriage, and they were at once obeyed. No dynamite was found, however, and sleep then came to the anxious Chancellor,” A Progressive Church.— An ex change says if one wishes to hire a seat in Professor Swing’s church, in Chicago, he can take the choice of one in the par quette, dress circle or balcony. If he should fail to find one to suit in either of these places, he can have a box. The best seats in the parquette rent frojn ten dollars to twenty Ave dollars a year; seats in the dress circle for fifteen dol lars; the most desirable boxes rent for one hundred and twenty-five dollars a year, and one considered pretty good, but not so situated that a bonnet or dress will show off to great advantage, can be had for one hundred dollars.

An Interview with Ex‘Secretary Thompson— Hie Position Defined and Hts Views on the Subject. Washington Dispatch to Baltimore Sirs. Ex-Secretary Thompson, in conversa tion with your correspondent on the subject of his connection with the mter oceanic canal project of De Lesseps, re marked that it was entirely erroneous to suppose that he was invited to enter the scheme because of any political in fluence bis name might exert, and he says he would not have accepted it with any such understanding or anticipation. He desires to correct the idea that his is the American branch” of the De Lesseps scheme. Hts relation to the canal company is, he says, the same as a President of a railroad. The fact that this country, the greatest producing country in the world, will be the largest customer of the canal gives the Ameri can board its supremacy in the scheme. He says that before acceding the offer made to him he stipulated that sufficient stock be subscribed to insure the success of tbe scheme, and that the French Government should have no offi cial agency, direct or indirect, in the project, and should indicate no purpose to acquire power in the isthmus. He says he thoroughly satisfied himself on these points. He found in the charter granted the International Interoceanic Association by the United States of Co lombia, and under which charter De Lesseps is operating, that the eompany is absolutely prohibited from ceding or mortgaging any of tbe rights conferred upon it, under any consideration what ever, to any foreign government. If this prohibition is violated the rights con ferred by the charter are forfeited, and jurisdiction is given to the Supreme Court of Colombia to declare the charter void. All the subscriptions in France were simply by the private citizens. The organization in France was per fected on Saturday last. Mr. Thomp son said: "The enterprise is one of a business character entirely; there is no danger of political complications grow ing out of it; the Monroe doc trine has no reference to it whatever. That doctrine was simply a Presidential assertion of the sentiment that the monarchical powers of Europe should not be permitted to destroy the independent Spanish American State-; that tbe American people weie unwilliug to see the right of self government des troyed anywhere on the American conti nent, and would resist the attempt to do so whenever it was made. Beyond this there is nothing in the policy of the United States Government which looks to anything else than the neutrality of an interoceanic canal or railway across the isthmus—a canal which shall not be under the control of any particular government, but shall be opeu cn equal terms to all governments, and held for the common use of all nations. By our treaty with New Grenada, now Co lombia, wc bound ourselves to maintain that neutrality, and to guarantee the sovereignty of Colombia over her own territory. Some years since, when Spain attempted to transport troops and muni tions of war across the isthmus of Pana ma against the consent of the Colombian Government, the United States was call ed upon to enforce the guarantee, and although the occasion did not call for in terference, we decided that it was our duty to respond to the appeal. Now, if France or any other government should attempt by any means, direct or indirect, to acquire territorial jurisdiction or as sert the right of control over the isthmus of Panama, or any canal or railroad across it, it would be the duty of the United States to interfere* to prevent it, and I should be one of the first to advocate and main tain that right of interference. So that in the position I occupy I feel it nay duty to see that nothing shall be done to bring about such result. France, indeed, has repudiated any purpose to acquire pos session of the isthmus.” In regard to the practicability of a canal at Panama, Mr. Thompson said that, not being an engi neer, his opinion was of little conse quence, and he “must act upon the opin ion of others. In 1879 a convention of scientific business raon from all parts of the world assembled in Paris. Among them were three officers of the United States navy, one of whom had very extensively explored the isthmus route. The question immediately before that convention was the choice between the Nicaragua and Panama routes. After full discussion and a thorough exami nation into the merits of both routes it was decided—l think by a vote of 78 to 8, a few not voting—that a canal upon a sea level was the most feasibie, if not the only practicable mode of answering the ends desired, and that a sea level canal could be constructed at Panama, whereas a canal could not be constructed at Nica ragua without locks. The company, at the head of which is De Lesseps, sent another corps of scientific engineers to Panama to examine the line, and they unanimously reported that it was practi cable to build a canal at Panama. The facts were then laid before the world, and the necessary amount of money has been subscribed by the capitalists of Europe and the United State?. The only question that now arises is whether the political interests of the Government of the United States overshadow the com mercial interests involved to such an ex tent as would justify the government in attempting to direct the enterprise. If tbe government should think proper to do so, then all American citizens will be in duty bouud to maintain the toliev which it shall prescribe. F ntif then every American citizen is at liberty to decide for himself whether the commercial interests involved in such a canal are not of sufficient importance to justify iu construction with money ob tained anywhere in the world. Our railroads have been built mostly with European capital, and many of them are under European control. The Panama Railroad is in a great measure under European control, and it is alleged that the Royal Mail Steamship Company, through its control over the Panama Railroad, discriminates in its own favor and against the Paciflo Mail Steamship Company, which is owned in the United States. It does not seem to me, there fore, that we in this country should have any special dread of European capital, especially when it is remembered that by aid of it we were enabled to put down the rebellion and mostly to build up our own magnificent system of railroads. No oanal company could be organized upon the isthmus without looking to foreign capitalists, as well as those of the United States, for money. And no matter who organized such at company in he United States, if tbe majority of its stock should be sub scribed in Europe, Europeans would con trol the operations of tbe company upon thp isthmus- The same would be the case with an American company or ganized fra canal at Nicaragua. All they could do here would be to raise stock and collect money so as to be in condition to enjoy their franchise in Nicaragua. When either of them reach the isthmus with their capital they are subject to the local laws of Nicaragua and Colombia, which are both inde pendent Utates having the right to self government, to make their own laws, dispose of their own property, and enjoy all the privilege* of independencies which the Monroe doctrine was designed to secure to them. European stock holders, who held the majority of the stock, would be protected in their right of control, when not violating the laws of either of the States named. De Lesseps’ theory is that the Nica ragua canal can only bo con structed in such manner, on account of the locks that will be required, as will involve too great delay for commercial vessels, and that the largest of ves sels now chiefly employed in commerce could not pass through on account of the shortness of the curves, whereas the r-anal at Panama would present no such obstructions, either as regards curves or locks. But he says he is not opposed to the Nicaragua canal, and is quite willirg that it should be built by the Government of tbe United States, because he thinks the more routes of travel the better,ior commerce.” In conclusion Mr. Thomp son said he thought the government should not interfere in a private business enterprise. All that the branch of which he has taken the Pre&idenoy is to do is to see that the money paid in is properly expended. He thinks it will be a great source of profit to American manufac turers, as all thevass machinery required he expects to be procured in American markets. He believes the subscriptions are all bona fide. He expressed great confidence that the Panama canal would be built, and that tbe work would begin very soon. All the prophets predict misfortunes for 1881. Ola Mother Shipton is the worst in the lot, as she brings the world to an end this year. Raphael, whose astrological almanac is a favorite with believers in the black art, allows us to run on until 1887, but predicts wars and epidemics innumerable in the meanwhile. In view of the fact that there will be conjunctions of Jupiter, Neptune and Mars this year, an event which has not occurred since the fourteenth century, when the black death visited Europe, Raphael feels no hesitation in prophesy ing a terrible epidemic of Asiatic cholera. Zadkiel, tbe other astrological almanac, is not quite so bad, giving us a mild epidemic, but wars innumerable, among which is an Irish revolt All the prophets, however, generally allow the United States to "escape from their promised disasters. Old gentleman (musical) —"Have you any plane tree wood?” Timber merchant (whose hopes are raised in anticipation of a good order these hard times) —“Yes, sir—pray walk in, sir—as fine a stock as any in town, sir. Would you prefer it the plank or in the—aii—log?” Old gentleman*—"Oh, thanky’, I’m not par ticular. I want a bit for a fiddle bridge.” Small Pox in Philadelphia. —There were fifty-one deaths from small pox in Philadelphia during the week ended Saturday at noon. That is the largest number reported by the Board of Health as occurring from this dread disease in any one week for several years. No more 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 in that simple, pure remedy, Hop Bitters, that cures always at a trifling cost, and you will see good times and have good health.

Ghost* by Uat-llaht. Though most persons have a great aver sion to seeing ghosts in the dark, there are many whose curiosity would tempt them to experience the sight of such a novelty in the glare of gas-light and with friends around them. An opportunity to gratify such curiosity is offered to-night by Mr. J. M. Colville, at the Savannah Theatre. This spiritualistic manager has associated with him five mediums, slid to be newly de veloped and of extraordinary power, by whose aid he promires to cause ghosts to appear and to 6end them round among the audience, shaking hands with all who are not afraid. He also proposes to make a large table rise and float in the air and a piano rise in the air and give forth music without ary visible performer, and various other wondt rfu! things will be done. At least Mr. Colville promises all this and much more, which be does not ask any one to believe on his say so, but wishes every body to go and see for themselves. Savannah Laud League Organized. Pursuant to call a large and enthusiastic meeting was held at the hall of the Robert Emmet Association last evening for the purpose of considering the formation of a Land League. Mr. Wm. H. Ray was called to the Chair, and Mr. J. C. Duggan was requested to act as Secretary pro tem. After tbe preliminary business was dis posed of a Land League Association was organized, and the following named officers were unanimously elected: President—M. J. Doyle. Vice President—M. a. Walsh. Secretary—T. D Downing. Treasurer—W. 11. Ray. Subscriptions amounting to two bundred dollars were banded in to aid the Irish Land League movement. It is proposed, after perfecting the or ganization, to canvass the city to solicit donations from all who wish to aid tbe cause of Ireland, and hasten relief for that much distressed country. Superior Compressing and Steve* dorlng. Ae an evidence of the power of the cotton presses and of the efficiency of the steve dores of Savannah, we may mention the cargo of the Norwegian barkeutiue Zephyr, which was cleared yesterday for Ghent, by Messrs. Holst Cos. The cargo, furnished by Messrs. Tunno Cos. was compressed at the Central Press and stevedored by Messrs. Bergmann Steele. The registered tonnage of tbe vessel is only 235 torn. Bbe took 989 bales of cot ton, weighing 475,124 pounds, equal to over 475 bales or 2,011 pounds to the registered ton. We doubt if this has been surpassed or equaled, taking tbe 6ize of the vessel in consideration, and it speaks volumes for our presses and stevedore*. Death ofau Old Citizen. We regret to announce the death of Mr. Jno. W. Wilson, an old and esteemed citizen, which occurred at bis residence in this city this morning, at twenty minutes past one o'clock, after an illness of a few weeks. Mr. Wilson was a native of Effingham connty, but bad been a resident and merchant of Sa vannah for nearly thirty years, and was a most worthy citizen. He was about 55 years of age and leaves a wife and several children and numerous friend* to mourn his loss. His funeral will take place to morrow (Friday), and the remains will be carried to Ebentzer for Interment, of which due announcement will be made. Dangerously Injured. Yesterday afternoon, about four o’clock, Bob Simmons, a colored man, was veiy seri ously, and, it is thought, fatally injured, whilst at work on a schooner lying at the Ty ler Cotton Press. He wa* struck forcibly in the small of the back with a cotton screw, which slipped and knocked UDConacioua. He was conveyed to hi* home on Arnold street, near South Broad, where Dr. Coker was summoned to attend him. He did not speak after he was struck, and his condition last night wa* considered very critical. Worklnxmeu’i LHerurT Belief Association, At a meeting of tbe Workingmen’s Liter ary and Belief Association, the following named officers were Installed: W. g. McFarland. President, J. W.

Instead of rain, we bad the finest day that has blessed Savannah this year. The hop of the Chatham Artillery last evening was, as may be Inferred, a very de lightful affair, and of course everybody pre sent had a charming time. The “two headed girl” and other attrac tions at Mozart Hall continue to be greeted with crowded houses. Tne exhibition will probably close in this city this week. The Bankers Daughter was complimented yesterday afternoon with the biggest mati nee audience that has filled the Theatre since the engagement of Edwin Booth. The directors of the Southern Bank of the B?ate of Georgia met yesterday and elected Eugene Kelly, Captain John McMahon, Vice President. Never charge a man with being “stuck up” because he wears fine clothes. It ii often the case that he expects them to give him that respectability his actions do not. Among the freight of the Gate City for New York yesterday were 390 barrels, 2,534 boxes of oranges, 7 barrels and 7 tierces of fish, 6 barrels of tetraping, and 38 turtles. A zephyr is abcut the most impartial thlDg on earth. It will fondly caress a sack of guano, then skip off a few yards and gently fan the brow of some beautiful mai den. About noon yesterday Policeman Clancy discovered a man, who gave his name as James Carlisle, lying druuk iu the street, and arousing him gave him a walk to the bar racks. Some attention should be given Brough ton street lane, near Bull, which evidently needs cleaning judging from the 6tench very perceptible to sensitive olfactories at night. The Ordinary yesterday received the com m eslons of all the recently elected county officers, which will be turned over to-day to the Commissioners, before whom they will qualify. At a meeting of the directors of the Mer chants National Bank yesterday, Henry Brigham, Esq., was elected President, and W. 8. Babcock, Esq., Of New York, Vice President. The masquerade carnival of the Bivannah Skating Riuk Association on the 25th inst will be one of the most brilliant events of its character that has ever been seen in Savannah. Tbe Ordinary has decided that he has no jurisdiction in the management of the city election, and has declined to preside. The management will, therefore, be with the Magistrates. J. Moon, an oil tramp, who was meander ing about in a reckless manner, was taken in tow by Policeman Bender last night, when he showed fight, but was overcome and lodged In the barracks. Col. McDaniel, of Princeton, N.

A steam yacht arrived here yesterday from Baltimore and anchored in the middle of the river, foot of Lincoln street. She is on her way to Florida, and is a pleasure yacht belonging to Mr. Wm. Graham. The friends of Lieut. Jos. A. Cronk, of Company B, Savannah Volunteer Guards, called upon him last night to extend their congratulations upon his recent marriage, and complemented him by a serenade. Messrs. Holst Cos. cleared yesterday the Norwegian bark Zephyr, for Ghent, Bel gium, with 989 bales of upland cotton, weighing 475,124 pounds, valued at $55,- 048 16. Cargo by Messrs. Tunno Cos. We had a call last evening from Mr. Thos. F. Shea, tbe gentk.manlv advance agent of Robson At Crane, who is here making ar rangements for the appearance of the cele brated comedians on the 19th and 20th inst. About twentv minutes past eleven o’clock last night Policeman Kelly found the front window shutter of Mr. D. B. Lester’s store, on Whitaker street, torn open—evidence that some attempt had been made to enter the place. Captain Herne, well known in connection with the Savannah and Philadelphia line of steamers, arrived here on the Juniata, seri ously indisposed, and was conveyed to the Savaunah Hospital. His many frleLds here trust his Illness will be of brief deration. We learn that a fund is being raised'fbr the purpose of preventing illegal voting at the polls on Tuesday next, and that a re ward of SSOO will be offered for the appre hension, with proof to convict, of any per son attempting to vote negroes illegally. Charlotte Simmons, a belligerent colored female, created considerable disorder on tbe steamer Carrie last evening about half past seven o’clock, and wheh ordered to leave became abusive. She was arrested by Policeman Keane and takeu to the bar racks. “A Reader” states that he placed a letter directed to Beaufort, 8.

Savannah lllpslrated. We received a call yesterday from Mr. Henry Osborne, correspondent of the Daily Graphic, of New York, who proposes to de vote considerable apace in a forthcoming issue of that journal to the illustration of the city of Savannah. The history and progress of the town, its enterprise and advantages, will be properly presented, and its principal architectural and scenic attractions will be Illustrated. The purpose of the article will be to give to non residents, capitalists, and others at a distance, an adequate idea of the ’growth and present importance of the pity, and will treat of general interests in way that Will commend Itself to eyery citizen of public spirit. It Is not necessary to allude to the advan tages to be gained by the publication pf an article of this character In a paper 60 widely circulated as the Daily Graphic. The expense of completing this project Mr Osborne will not seek to meet by ap- Deals for advertising or contributions. As the cost will be heavy, however, we trust the citizens of Savannah will show sufficient encouragement of the enterprise by a6- scrwiny quite generally for the Graphic, and the greater degree of appreciation they thus manifest the more complete add will Mr. Osborne be able to make the article proposed.

Reunion of Soldier* and Fire men—A Brilliant Scene and a Sumptuous Banquet—Speeches. We were a prophet true, In our predic tions that the grand reunion ball of the German Volunteers and the Werner Hook and Ladder Company at St. Andrew’s Hall last evening would prove a brilliant and successful social event. The evening was delightful, the moon shone brightly,the air was crisp and Invigor ating, and In fact everything was favorable for a large attendance at the ball, the prep arations for which had engaged the atten tion and labors of an efficient committee for some days. The hall was very handsomely decorated, and the artistic arrangement of the flags of tee different nations in festoons reflected credit upon the taste of the decorative com mittee, Lieut. J. H. Helmken, Corporal R. Schneider, and Private George Meyer. At an early hour of the evening the hall beganto fill up., and by sine o’clock there was a goodly gathering of pleasure seekers. A fine band or music had been engaged, and when the dulcet strains of a waltz were heard, the floor was quickly occupied with dancers,and from thence on to the midnight hour time wore on rapidly and pleasantly. The occasion of the ball was the celebra tion of the thirty-fifth anniversary of the Volunteers, and It was a happy thought that suggested the reunion of the Werner Hook and Ladder Company. The gallant Werner, in whose honor the company is named, was a popular officer of the Volunteers, and yielded up his life In de fense of bis Southern country in the memo rable siege of Battei y Wegner, and the Interests and history of the organization are thus closely connected. The reunion in this social manner attested the fraternal feeling existing between the soldiers and the fire men, who have so much In common. It Is therefore not to be wondered that the affair under such auspices was so flittering a suc cess. Among those present we noted maDy members of other organizations, some in uniform, others in citizen’s dress, nearly every company in the city being represent ed. and Col. C. W. Anderson, of the First Regiment, and nearly bis entire staff were numbered among the guests. We also ob served mingling in the throng numbers of our city officials, Aldermen Purse, Ballan tyne, Blun, County Commissioner M. H. Meyer, who, by the way, Is the only sur vivor of sixty 6ix members who paraded with the German Volunteers, on the Bth of January, 1846, when he was First Sergeant of the company. Mr. Anthony Basler is the next oldest living member, but he was pre vented from being present by serious Indis position. Both organizations, the Volunteers and Werners, lu uniform, were out in force, and, with their numerous lady friends and other guests, made up an attractive and joyous gathering. About twelve o’clock the grand march was played, the usual procession was form ed. and after several tours of the spacious hall, filed out and ascended to the upper rooms, where a very sumptuous banquet had been spread by the well known caterer, Mr. Jno. F. Weihrs. After the com pany had been seated, and amidst pleasant converse, the bountiful spread of substan tial and delicacies had been discussed, at tention was called, and Capt. John Dcrst, the popular commander of the Volunteers, and the efficient Chair man of the joint committee, inaugurated “the feast of reason and the flow of soul” by calling upon some of the distinguished guests. Pertinent and happy remarks were made by ex Captain Henry Blun, of the Volunteers, Colonel Clifford W. Anderson, I). G. Purse, Esq., and others, all of whom were heartily applauded. These pleasantries ended, the party returned to the ball room, where the dancing was rssumed and continued, as many other social affairs of the Volunteers and Wer ners, until the “wee sm.,’ hours.” Long will the occasiou be re membered by all who were present as among the most enjoyable of their social experiences The entire affair was admira bly managed, and for the general enjoy ment derived those present are indebted to the efficient joint committee, who had worked so earnestly and to such purpose, composed of the following gentlemen: Captain John Derst, Chairman; H. W. Rail, Vice Chairman. German Volunteers —Lieut. J. 11. Helm ken, Sergt. W. H. Frickry, Corporal R. Bcbneider, Private George Meyer, Private John Gay. Werner Hook and Ladder Company— Foreman J. F. Weihrs, J. F. Lubs, H. F. Kuck, John Rieduian. We congratulate the Volunteers and Wer ners upon the complete success of their joint reunion, and can only wish them that the thirty-sixth anniversary of the gallant Volunteers may be celebrated with equal pleasure and gratification. The Theatre—Farewell of the Bank* cr’ Daughter. Collier’s Combination, presenting the powerful and beautiful drama of “The Banker’s Daughter,” closed a very success ful engagement of three nights and a mati nee at the Theatre la3t evening. No com pany this season has bsen greeted., with larger houses, and none have earned or re ceived greater praise. Having so fully ex pressed our opinion of performers and play, little now remains to be said. We wish, however, specially to note the personation of “John Strebelow,” the hero of the play, by Mr. F. C. Bangs, which, considering Mr. Bangs past career, can truiv be considered remarkable. Those who have seen this this gentleman In classic roles of tragedy, scarcely comprehended that he could successfully leave that field and enter with any degree of success another of entirely different character. A close study of the several performances fully satii-fies in that he has made no mis take, and, while his masterly personations in tragedy have charmed thousands, and gained for him a most eiviable reputation, we venture the opinion that his permanent adoption of the society line will earn for him equal, if not greater laurels. The charecter of “John Strebelow” possesses peculiarities whici require a thorough artist to properly portray. The lights and shadows are sharply defined, necessitating the most delicate handling to avoid marring the effect. Mr. Bangs shows not the semblance of his previous classic personations in his rendition of “Strebe low.” Hta conception of the requirements of the character seems to us perfect, and his personation is devoid of exaggeration or rant, and we doubt if it has ever been presented with more naturalness and perfection. Unmistakably Mr. Bangs has demonstrated the possession of talent which can be as effectively employ ed in the parlor as in the forum or on the tragic fields. An actor who can present so acceptably a character of the type of John Strebelow as to secure from an intelligent and appreciative audience applause whenever he makes his appearance, scarcely needs commendation. We are only induced to these rematks by surprise at the ease with which Mr. Bangs has cast aside tbe toga for the dress coat, and transformed himself from the stalwart Roman soldier Into the acccomplished and refined society gentleman. We trust that he may continue in his present line,and that Savannah audiences may agalu see him, as he can always count on a hearty and cordial greeting. We reiterate our previous commendations of the other members of the troupe, and close this notice with special but deserved compliment to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wal cott (Vlrs. Brown and G. Washington Phipps), who are charming in their re spective role 6, and who may be regarded as great favorites in Savannah. The crowd ed audiences which have greeted the com pany here owe much of their enjoyment to this clever and aooompliahed couple. The company leave to-day for Charleston, where they play the remainder of the week. Catbolic Knight* of America. 4t tjie annual meeting of Branch No. 38, U.

Editor Morning News: I am pained to see such contentions made about the selection of our Mayor and Aldermen. No man in the ctty regrets it more than I do. For the Hon. J. F. Wheaton I have a personal friendship for years gone by, even at the campSeld; yet, as we are a progressive community, one man must give place to another if neces sary, and, in retiring (shonld tbe vote so result), the Hon. John F. Wheaton, 1 am glad to say, that no finger can point upon him referring to dereliction of duty, either in peace, war, or in pestilence. He is my time-honored friend—a bosom friend—but whilst embodying these encomiums upon him, which sre well earned, yet there is a great responsibility resting upon me as a tax payer and as a citizen of Savannah. Since 1844 1 have stood by the total and the woe of this city. Now, fellow citizens, whilst I cannot say aught against Captain Wheaton’s adminis tration as Mayor (for I believe nothing can be said against it by any man), 1 am looking at home, at the taxes which we have to pay, and I think with all due justice that D. G. Purse should be placed in the position of Mayor of the city of Savannah, he being, if elected, ex officio member of all boards, hence he will be ex-officio on Finance, where his talents are most required. His past history as an Alderman will show these points in his character. Now, fellow citizens, my advice to you is to make a selection of the Aldermen from both tickets, but vote for D. 0. Purse for Mayor. I will now give you my opinion as to who the Aldermen should be, without partiality to either ticket. FOK MAI'OR. D. G. Purse. FOR ALDERMEN. Dr. Wm. Duncan, J. Schwaiz, G. C. Freeman, S. P. Hamilton, D. O’Connor, M. J. Doyle, Edward Lovell, 11. F. Willlnk, 8. B. Adams, R B. Reppard, D. R. Thomas, Chas. C. Hardwick. Now, fe'low citizens, this is a selection made by myself from both tickets; they are all well known to you as good citizens and Democrats. I respectfully submit them for your consideration. A. B. Principles vs. Persons and Partial ity. Editor Morning News: The two tickets in the field for Mayor and Aldermen are elicit ing much discussion. There is much per sonal feeling displayed by some parties, and criticisms sharp, severe and pointed in dulged In according to the peculiar temper aments of the talkers. But this Is not a time for personalities; there is something more to be considered and voted upon. The mass meeting of the 7th made distinct iseues as to the future policy of the city government. I say mass meeting, for no objections were raised against them, and 6ilence is generally con sidered as giving assent. What were they? As follows: 1. That the Mayor and Aldermen shall have the right to regulate and determine the salary ot any official elected by said Mayor and Aldermen. What sensible man can or will object to that? 2. The 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. Who ever heard of one set of legislators hiving officers elected by another set going out of office for them? The Idea is absurd, and how it was ever Inaugurated in the city of Bavannah was sni generis, and should be a subject for Investigation; tor the Idea Is of that “rich, rare and racy” kind, so odd, so violative of common sense, and so over strained as to rights of legislative bodies, that the world should know the reasons therefor. L.3. That the system for the registration of voters for municipal elections In this city is fraught with danger to our city. From the discussions in the City Council, as to certain classes who were registered, and by what means they were induced to register, I should say if there was not fraud there was premeditated corruption, for a man who will allow himself to be carried to the polls is himself corrupt or a mere tool for corruption, and the man or men who carries him are corrupt, for they have corrupt intentions of personal gain, influ ence, power or ulterior objects. 4. The requiring of the Bheriff of Chat ham county to perform the duties of jailer, and to fix the salary at SI,OOO. That is a question upon which there may be differences of opinion. In the days of slaveiy the jail was comparatively empty, and the duties could be performed easily for SI,OOO. But as now, filled with violators of law, It requires the especial attention of someone distinct from the Sheriff. There are, it will be seen, distinct, clear and important issues made, independent ot meu. It Is to be presumed that Mr. Purse indorses the action of the meeting. How stands Mayor Wheaton on those issues, and the gentlemen whose names are associatad with his? This election Is not one of per sons or partiality, but of clear, open Issues of city policy and city government in the fu’ure. Do or do not (he voters of the city inj dorse the resolutions of the mass meeting? That is the question. It is not Purse or Wheaton or Democracy, but the future gov ernment of the city. Personalities are out of place, not to say contemptible, in the coming election. 1 cannot vote for any man whose position I do not know on the above questions. Independent Voter. Furniture and Carpets. Allen Lindsay, 169 and 171 Broughton street, have the largeet and best stock of furniture in this city, comprising everything wanted by housekeepers, and also a splendid assortment of carpets, rugs, shades, cur tains and other upholstery goods.

EXAMINE GOODS AND PRICES BEFORE PURCHASING ELSEWHERE. Samuel J?. Hamilton, deca-i t BULL AND BROUGHTON STREETS. OUR STJCCE SS! Has been most gratifying. Webavemore than doubled the volume of our business. It h&s 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 oyer 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 unlw?s they have to pay two or three times as much as the article is really worth. We especially allude to the Jewelry business, which is to the bulk of buyers yet a hidden mystervt We wish It to be understood that our goods are equal to any to be had elsewhere. Our W altham W atches are the same as all other Waltham watches, according to the fineness of the carat, and so with au other goods. We are determined to sell only such gooes as will give invariable satisfaction,and what we do sell we guarantee to be a* represented. Owing to the increase of our business, we are carrying an exceedingly flue stock of all kinds of good*, such as are to be found only in a FIRST CLASS JEW ELBA’ HOUSE and respect fully invite the public to examine our goods and to compare prices.
