H. ESTILL, PROPRIETOR. I S eg tT dm? proposed railroad from Green ville, Meriwether county, to Hood, the Meri wether Vindicator says; “There can be no doubt of our ability of getting a railroad to Hood If we all work together. We hear whis pers occasionally as coming from those who say that wo ought to go to some point on the Atlanta and West Point road. To this we have only to say that we have never met with any encouragement in that direction. The writer years ago called upon the Superintendent of that road and sought to interest him In an at tempt to construct a read from Greenville to Hogansville. He gave us not a particle of en couragement. We afterwards endeavoied to enlist support on that line, but never received a single response from any one connected with tie Atlanta and West Poiut road. That this road would oppose the building of a road from Greenville to Hood everybody knows. Now, when vague hints are thrown ont that we can obtain aid in constructing a road from Greenvi'le to Hogansville or Whitfield's crof.sing, let the fact be remembered that no aid or encouragement has been tendered from that quarter. On the contrary.we were assur ed last week by an officer of the road, from Columbus to Hood, that if Meriwether would raise sp>,oU) that an extension would be guar anteed to Greenville. This can be relied upon, and our people can. if they will, easily raise that amount. There are eighty men who can give SSOO apiece. Already several have pledged 81,100 apiece, and one gentleman promised $5/00. Organized effort only is needed. The $4°,000 can be raised; when this is done the road will be built.” Regarding the two little Georgia waif* found wandering the streets of Chatta nooga recently, and mention of which we have air ady made, the Chattanooga Times says: “In yesterday’s issue appeared aa account of the discovery of two Lttle waifs wandering aimlessly on the streets, claiming to be from Trenton. Ga from where they fled to escape cruel treatment from an unnatural guardian, one of the children having been taken in charge by Policeman Allen, the other by Policeman Montgomery, until c’aimed by rela tives or friends. Yesterday the parents and the grandfather of the children came to the city to search for them. The article in the Times de clared their whereabouts.and they were imme diately sought, where they were discovered comfortably situated and apparently satisfied The father of the children is named Uowles, who lived near Wildwood, Ga., on Mr. Jesse Cravens’ farm. He can give no rea-on why the children ran away front home, aver ring that they were always treated with the same indulgence and kindness which is ac corded other children. The3e children, al though agei eleven and thirteen, appeared well versed in the ways of this ieked world, and were thoroughly competent to fabricate an ingenious and plausible tale to explain their conduct, 'they uo doubt become possessed with aa ardent desire to see the world.and with wonderful determination, wandered out alone, •walked nearly twenty miles to reach heir des tination. and when discovered, concealed their identity with precocious cleverness.” The Darien Timber Gazette says: “We want an appropriation.” and writes on the subject a* follows: “We are triad to see that the sub ject of au appropriation from the General Government for the improvement of the har bor and river at Darien is again being agitated by our people, and with a better show of suc cess, we believa, than ever before. A petition signed by nearly all of our business men was forward dto Senator Brown during the vreek, and we feel satisfied that he, assisted by our immediate Representative, the Hon. Jno. C. Nicholis. will do ail in his power to secure us a good appropriation before Congress ad j -urns. There u no port in this couotry that needs an appropriation as bad as Darien, and we sincerely hope that our Senators and Repre sentatives will make a big effort in that direc tion at ones, for there is no time to be lost be twe -n now a-d the 4lh of March. We are satisfied that if the true situation of affairs was expiainad to the committee they would not hesi tate for one moment to recommend a good appropriation for our little city of Darien. During the year that has just closed there has b*en g'-0 departures of vessels from this port, aggregating atonnage of 11P.9T4, and carrying from this port a total of 85,771,873 feet of pitch pine timber, valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars, and we are satisfied mat the present year will be a better year than the one that has just closed. The petition that has been sent on to Governor Hr--wn fully and truthfully explains w hy Darien should have an appropriation, and we hope that it will be carefully considered. Darien doesn’t make much pretensions, but just now she is doing a larger timber business Mian any other port on the South Atlantic coast, and we therefore think that it is nothing but a simple act of justice that she should be included when Congress is making up appro priations for our Southern hai bors and rivers. We couid give many reasons for asking for an appropriation, but wc think that our Senators and Congressmen thoroughly understand our wants by this tims. Our people expect much from Senator Brown and Representative Nicholls, and, knowing them as well as we do, we feel satisfied they will do their whole duty towards getting the much desired and badly needed appropriation.” Florida Affairs. To meet all the demands upou its columns, the Jacksonville Union is to be enlarged in a few days. On Sunday of last wesk, Tim Patterson, the c lored fireman of the steamer Stevens, re ceived fatal injury while wiping off his ma chinery. The steamer made a landing at Frick Cove, for the purpose of taking on wood, and he went to work without notifying the en gineer. The latter official had some repairing to do, and not knowing that Tim was about the machinery, moved the engine a few inches. Suddenly he heard Tim cry out to stop. The engine was insta- tly stopped, but too late, for the unfortunate fireman was found wedged in between the crank and engine frame, the crank pressing directly upon and crushirghis breast. He was taken out im-ensible and laid on the floor in the cabin of the boat, but could not remain in a reeliuing position for the pain. He was permitted to walk about the boat, as sisted by one of the men, for about one hour, when he died The body was taken to Green Cove Springs and examined by a physician, who found that the man died from internal hemorrhage, caused by the accident, and a Coroner's jury rendered a verdict of accidental death in accordance with the above facta. “Sylph” Babetck was at Sanford a few days ago. lie expressed himself much pleased with the appearance of his fine orange grove near Belsir. The Cedar Kev Journal says that a young lady guest at the “Suwaiee” last week, labor ing under an aberration of mind, strolled away from the hotel, and it was nc-t until after con siderable search that she was found. .According to the Jacksonvil’e Union Law rence Barrett, John McCullough, John Dillon, Mary Anderson, Fanny Davenport, Maggie Mitchell and Louise Pomeroy all appeared to gether in a comedy in that city, entitled “Simpson A C 0.,” last Thursday night. The performance was for the benefit of the Jack sonville Light Infantry. Three hundred German carp have been placed at various points up the St. John’s river, and 30C have been distributed in Jacksonville. Another lot of 6- are to be distributed next week along the Jacksonville, dVnsacola and Mobile Railroad, in West Florida, The Pensacola Advance think# the great duty of the press is to convince the North that Florida, and particularly that section, is not a marsh unfit for any uses save the production of alligators and other amphibious animals. The Eagle and Pbcenix cedar raw mill at Tampa was recently destroyed by fire, and a number of laborers were thrown out of em ployment. This, says the Guardian, is the second steam saw mill which has been de stroyed in that place by fire in six weeks’ time. Both are being rapidly rebuilt, however, and w ill soon resume operations. According to the Tampa Guardian, the very tenderest plants in that locality escaped with out inju r y, and now the guava and lemon trees are in bloom and full of young fruit. The weather, while it has been disagreeable. has not been so disagreeably cold as it has been in other portions of the State. One single real estate man in Leesburg sold six orange groyes in that locality on New Year's day, and he says he is determined to se’l six more in less than a week. The Key West Democrat has been enlarged. It is now an eight page paper, and present* a very handsome appearance, creditable alike to itself and the section ih which it is published. It is a staunch Democratic paper, and we ex tend our hearty congratulations for its evi dences of success. The Hamilton County Times says: “Mr. D. D Register, of StatenviUe.

Fays tbe Key West Key cf the Gulf “On the G>th cf December last a Mr. resident of thia city, picked up a sealed bottle at Boca Chica. wherein he found a latter from Captiln Meentxen, of the Bremen ship Julius, stating that on the 26th of March, 1890, latitude Si 3U N and longitude 88 45 W. of Greenwich* he threw the bottle overboard and request'd the finder to report the time and place fquad and return the bottle again to the deep. Mr. Reuther informs us that he has done *o. By computation we find that the bottle was thrown overboard one hundred and seventeen miles S.N.W.WW. of Cape Fas Antonio, Culm, and doubtless made the entire circuit of the Gulf of Mexico.” Jacksonville Union: “Among the many places in Florida which have experienced a rapid growth, Sanford, on Lake Monroe, is c.-nspicuou*. Tbe rapid development of this place is due to the energy and liberalitr of General Sanford, proprietor of the Sanford Krac t As an evidence of what can be done in Florida by labor, unaided by mention the fact that one of the Bwedes to whom General Sanford gave land (we believe five acres) in 187*. sold it tost week for $5 500. He planted on orange grove on it, and faencs the result. 8 to j£ to yet disposing of Utoda to ceedtogly easy and accommodating terras. Bumter Advance: "The cold weather last week did more damage in Florida than, at the time of the cold, we thought it would. In an other column it will ba seen that all the fruit along the St John's river, from Lake George down, except where groves are well protected, have been frozen. Mr. Myran Lovell, who ar rived from Orange Lake just alter the cold, says the orange in that vicinity and around Ocala are mostly frozen. Bishop Harris estimate their loss to be s*) 000. Friday, the 81st utt., was the coldest day, and the ther mometer stood, to the vicinity of Jacksonville, at 18 degrees, while in ti-is county it stood at 26 and 37 degrees, a difference of nine degrees. We have made thorough inquiry and learn that oranges were not Injured in the least in any section of the county.” “Major Russell informs us.” says the Jack sonville Union, “that a premium of $27 is of fered for a collection of live fish from the Gulf, and he hopes that the people of Cedar Key, who are interest and, will take hold of the mat ter, and construct a simple tank ten feet long, five feet wide and five feet deep, filled with water fresh from the Gulf when starting in the morning, and the water aerated along the road by the simple means of a perforated dipper, .taking up the water and letting it drop back into tne tank from time to time. Should the effort be made aud success attend it, it will es tablish the feasibility of shipping live fish to our marset, and furnish us with a variety of good fish which our waters do not supply. We hope our Cedar Key neighbors will try the experi ment.” Says the Fernandina Mirror: “Our friend, Mr. Burnside, whe represents Hon. P. P. Bish op at this place, has kindly furnished us with some of the oranges plucked from the trees at the grove of Mr. Bishop, at Orange Lake, since the cold snap, and w can, without fear of contradiction, say that they are the sweetest we have tasted this year. Ihe fruit is not in jured in the least, and the trees are said to be as fresh, green anl vigorous as in the past. The cold wave did not injure the old bearing trees a particle, the sap being fiormant Some nursery trees one or two years old are perhaps a little stunted in growth, but otherwise a e not hurt, the cloudy weather, juat after the cold weather, having been a great protection to both fruit and trees." Pensacola Advance: “The steamer Alice ar rived on Monday and delivered at the railroad dock two hundred bales of cotton direct from Geneva, Ala. The success which follows the efforts of those engaged in this enterprise is cheeriDg alike to projectors and tbe people of this entire section, and as an evidence of the proportions this business is assuming we state that Captain Summers, of the Alice, has just returned from New Orleans, where arrange ments have b:en made for anew boat to be used in this Geneva ttade. The Alice left for Choctawhatchee yesterday with three barges in tow, and from a reliable source we learn that she was offered more freight on this re turn trip than could be carried in a half dozen. With tbe improvements now progressing on this important feeder, it is safe, we ihink, to look for a perfect fleet of river boat* plying be tween this and the southern boundary of Ala bama, by the time another season reaches us. Asa pioneer packet in the Choctawhatchee trade the Alice has demonstrate 1 the fact that there’s ‘millions in it.’ The Brcsoksville Crescent says: “The recent cold snap cid not injure our semi-tropical fruit to the extent that was at first appre hended. Orange trees and fruit were not hurt at all; lenians and limes, where much exposed, were injured s me; guavas and other tender fruit were damaged slightly, but in very few instances killed. We leani that gome coffee Slants were killed where exposed to the ice. [r. Frank Saxoa had thirty-five coffee plants in his nursery. On the morning of the severe t cold he went out to examine them. He saw icicles pending from the leaves an inch long. He only lost five: the others appear to be doing finely. Mr. D. G. Hennes thinks he has lost nearly all of his caDe At the time of the cold sap it was cut down but not sheltered. Tomatoes unprotected were generally killed. Mr. W. A. Cobb informs us that the tender fruits in Anclote were scarcely nipped. Mr. N. A. Carter, from Fort Dade, and Col. A. S. Maun, from rjstal river, and Mr. J. B. Law, from Spring Hill, give us like informa tion from their respective localities The cold snap was a severe strain upon our fruits, and their successful endurance of tne ordeal is creditable to our county, and demonstrated the admirable adaptability of our section to semi-tropical fruits.” SEVERE WEATHER IN VIRGINIA. An Axed Woman and her Grandson Frozen to Death In their Cabin. A dispatch from Middleburg, Lou don county, Va., says; “The snow in this vicinity has been on tbe ground for the past three weeks to the depth of forty two inches on a level. It has drifted over the fences, hiding them from view, and blocking up the roads entirely. The farmers have been obliged to cut down 1 shade trees near their farm houees and use them for firewood, as the snow pre vented them hauling from the woods. Great suffering is said to have prevailed among the poor people. In one section near the foot of the Blue Ridge, just where the Leesburg turnpike crosses the moun tains, an aged woman lived with her young grandson in a small house a mile away irom the nearest dwelling. She was completely shut in by the snow drifting down from the mountain, and for several days was without food. Being reduced to starvation, and know ing that any relief party would not be able to find her house, she cut a hole I through the roof and thrust a long pole through the snow with a gayly colored shawl on tbe end. It was 6een by persons at a distance, who informed an old gentleman living two miles away. He at once ordered a colored man to mount a horse and take with him food and fuel. The man rode toward the house until the horse was stuck in the snow, and then could go no further. Ho managed with diflicuity to get back home, and his employer summoned out all the hands on the place. They got as near to the old woman's house as they could, and then worked with shovels until they cut through into the cabin, but they were too iate. Tbe woman aud her grandson were both frozen to death. The Death of a Black Prince.— Near Warrentoa Junction, Va., there lived in a cabin by himself an old negro named Hannibal Brown. He was brought to this country from Africa about the year 1820. He has always said his father was a King who wore bright jewels and owned many men. He was emancipated before the war, and was one of the few colored men who owned slaves, and we believe he is the only exception throughout the entire South who retained and exercised all the rights of ownership after the war was over. He was a blacksmith aud one of the most skilled of workmen. He was de voted to the cause of the South, and dur ing the war would not shoe horse* for I the Federal soldiers, but whenever they applied complained of pain in his back and went to bed. On account of this devotion, which he did not try to con ceal, he was imprisoned for several months in the Old Capitol at Washing ton. The bitter cold weather which we have just had found the old man very feeble,and with no one to *ec that he was properly cared for. He did not like company, and would not permit any one to live with him. So when the sun rose clear and cold on Wednesday morning, the 29th of December, it peeped through the cracks of old Hannibal’s cabin and found him sitting in a chair all alone by the smouldering emberß of hia fire dead. He had froz n to death.— Solid South. The Monroe Doctrine tn Retire jnjxx.—The so called Monroe doctrine is in temporary retirement. Senator Burn side has been v aioly trying to stir up a dull and unappreciative Senate com mittee to report on his resolution. In the House, Mr. King of Louisiana, who has the subject in charge, both as a member of the Inter-oceanic Canal Committee and as a member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, has gone home for ten days, and never left any word aa to what he thought the United States ought to do in case the Do Lesseps men actualy landed during his absence in Louisiana and went to dig ging a canal for a private company. The rest of the committee will try to act without him on Saturday. The fact is that Congressmen are beginning to learn slowly that the Monroe doctrine is ap plied to an acquisition of territory of foreign powers, and not to the building of works of public improvement by private capital. There are many mem bers of each house who arc beginning to thmk that there is danger of the United States being brought into an exceeding ly ridiculous position in this matter. Wash. Corr.

Anderson, who has been In the city some time working for certain Improvements for the Savannah harbor, has met with most encouraging success. All the members of the Georgia delegation promptly assured him of their hearty co-operation. To day Senator Brown Introduced In the Senate and Colonel Nicholis in tbe House a bill embodying a portion of what is desired. The bill was referred to the Appropriations Committee. It provides for a screw pile light at the knoll In place of the bell buoy now there, or for two range lights to guide ships around the abrupt turn that occurs at that poiut. All beacons on the river banks are to be lighted, and range lights to be put on Fort Jackson and Dept ford Bluff to vessels through the 6tretch across the head of Elba Island Into the main channel leadtog up to the city. All beacons are to be renovated and elevated. The appropriation asked for these pur poses is forty thousand dollars. There is every reason to expect the passage of the bill. An effort is also being made to get aa ap propriation for land damages to cut away the margin on the north side of the Savan nah river, occupied by Kinsey’s lumber yard and Willluk’s marine railway, so as to straighten and widen the harbor abreast the city. This matter has been brought to the attention of the Secretary of War by Sena tor Brown. The project has been endorsed by the Board of Engineers In a report made some time since. HOUSE PROCEEDINGS. In the House, the Speaker, as the regular order, proceeded to call the States for bills and resolutions, under which call the fol lowing were introduced and referred: By Mr Dunn, of Arkansas—To prohibit the sending of firearms or ammunition through the mails. By Mr. Springer, of Illinois—To amend j section 399(5 of the Revised Statutes in re i eard to the pre-payment of postage on second class mail matter. By Mr. Fort, of Illinois—To prohibit the exportation of diseased cattle and other domestic atilma’e. By Mr. Willis, of Kentucky (by request)— To regulate aud Improve the civil service of the United States; also to establish a sub- Treasnrv at Louisville, Ky. By Mr. Newberry, of Michigan—Provld j tog for a joint commission by the United Sfates and Great Britain to Investigate alleged false and fraudulent proof and statistics used before the Halifax Fishery Commission.

At the conclusion of the call of States, Mr. Ford offered his resolution relative to government telegraph lines, aud it was re ferred. Mr. Springer, of Illinoii, offered a resolu tion directing the Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads to inquire into the ex pediency of establishing a telegraphic postal system by the Government of the United States, and alao as to the cost of reproducing the fecliities for transmitting telegraphic messages equal to those now possessed by existing corporations, and as to the expediency of operating the same, granting that commit tee power to send for persons and papers, and authorizing it to report at any time, by bill or otherwise. Referred. The Speaker announced the regular order to be the motion made on the third Monday of last month to suspend the rules and pass the bill authorizing the readjustment of the salaries of Postmasters of the third, fourth and fifth classes, in accordance with 'the act of June Bth, 1866. Rejected—ayes 159, nays 82—not the necessary two thirds in the affirmative. Mr. Converse, of Ohio, Chairman of the Committee on Public Land, under instruc tions from that committee, moved to sus pend the rule* and pass the bill quieting titles of settlers on tbe Des Moines river lands, in the State of lowa. After a very noisy debate, the motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill was agreed to, and at 5 o’clock the House adjourned. SENATE PROCEEDINGS. In the Senate, Mr. Wallace, from the Committee on Appropriations, reported, with sundry amendments, the Indian appro priation bill. Mr. Pendleton, front the Census Commit tee, reported with an accompanying detailed report the bill making an appropriation for completing, compiling and publishing the returns of the tenth census. Mr. Garland presented ’he report of the Congressional visitors to West Point, and accompanying the same with a bill amend ing the existing laws In relation to the mili tary academy at West Point. Referred to the Committee on Military Affairs. On motion of Senator Bruce the bill authorizing and directing the purchase by the Secretary of the Treasury for public use, property known as the Freedman’s Bank, and the real estate and parcels of ground adjacent thereto belonging to the Freedman’s Saving and Trust Company, and located on Pennsylvania avenue.be tween Fifteenth and Fifteenth and a Half streets, Washington, D. C., was again taken up, amended aud passed. It appropriates for this purpose an amount not exceeding $250,000. On motion of Mr. Burnside, by unani mous consent, orders were suspended, and the Senate took up the Senate bill for tbe relief of Brigadier and Brevet Major Gen eral E O. C. Ord. The bill passed without debate. It provides that bis rank and pay on tbe retired list shall accord with his brevet rank as Major General. On motion of Mr. Butler tbe Senate took up and passed, finally, without amendment, the Senate joint resolution ta create a com mission for the performance of certain duties under the act of Congress providing for the erection of a monument at York town and the proposed Centennial celebra tion. The calendar was proceeded With, and several bills were passed without amend ments, among them one for the relief of the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal Company. 1 he bill to regulate the mode of purchase of tobacco for the United States Navy was amended In immaterial details, on motion of Mr. Vance, and passed. Upon the expiration of the morning hour, i unfinished bnstoese, the Ben Holliday bill, came up to regular order. Mr. Saulsbury moved to postpone the regular order to take up the Kellogg case. Mr. Hill suggested to Mr. Saulsbury that it might not be advisable to antagonize the Holliday bill if it seemed likely the latter would be disposed of to-day. Mr. Saulsbury replied that he understood the bill referred to would occupy longer. Mr. Hoar said he would state, for the information of Mr. Saulsbury, that the report and evidence in the Kellogg case was not obtainable by the Senate to day, and he bad been unable to obtain a copy upon applying for one at the document room. The copy usually placed in the library had gone to the bindery, so that If taken up the case would have to be again postponed. Mr. Cameron, of Wisconsin, argued that if the regular order was postponed as proposed a majority vote would be necessary to rein state it in its place before the Senate. Mr. Ingalls contended that the motion to postpone could not be entertained, as it did not contemplate postponement to a certaia day nor Indefinitely. Mr. Edmunds submitted a question of order for decision when the Chair (Mr. Withers), ruled that the motion was not in order. Mr. Saulsbury then moved that the pend ing order he laid on the table in order to proceed with the Kellogg case. The Chair stated, in reply to interroga tories, that the effect of the motion, if adopted, will require a majority vote to i take up the Holliday bill at any time there after. A vote being taken without further de j bate Mr. Baulsbury’B motion was voted down—2o nayß to 34 ayes. The following voted with the Republicans to the negative: Butler, Davis of Illinois, Lamar. Pendleton, Thurman, Yoorheee, White, Williams and Bavard. The discussion of the Ben Holiday bill was then resumed, and without action on the bill, the Senate, at 4:20, went into exec utive session, and, when the doors were re opened, adjourned until to-morrow. REPORT OP THE WEST POINT BOARD OP VISI TORS. Senator Garland to-day, on the part of the Congressional members of the Board of Visitors to West Point Military Academy, submitted three reports of Congressional members of tbe board, and a bill amenda tory of the laws relating to the military aca demy. General Garfield and Representative Phillips, in their report, devote con j siderable space to the consideration of i the question of admission of colored ca i dets to the academy. No reason, they say, can be assigned why they should not re -1 celve full and equal advantages in the way j of education with the w hite cadets; but, on the contrary, there is every reason they 1 should. The mingling of white and colored i cadets on terms of social equality Is sub ject to continual drawbacks and troubles, which are so far inherent that in their judgment no regulation of law can control them. If it be deemed expedient to continue fur i ther this co-education in the same insrttu tions, this disturbing cause, white repressed so far as wise discipline can touch, must, I after all, be left for its own cure to time and j experience, which may result in its mitiga tion, or the complete separation of the two races in their military education. MB. THOMP3ON AND THE INTEBOCBANIC CANAL. The House Committee on the luteroceanic Ship Canal gave a hearing this morning to Mr. Thompson, late Secretary of tbe Navy, as the American representative of the Pan ama Canal Company. He combatted the idea of that project* being in any way sus -1 ceptible of application of the Monroe doc trine, and argued that all propositions for the isthmian transit should be left to the control of engineering aud financial considerations. At the conclusion of his argument his attention was called to the joint resolution reported by the committee on the Bth of March last, and having read it, he said that the declaration contained in it i was very conclusive, which he had desired reaching, and which he had used in his 1 own argument. Mr. Singleton, of the com- I mittee, remarked that Mr. Thompson was not proposing any action, and that the committee had taken action on the sub ject, stating that the government would not interfere in any way at present, but if the necessity should ever arise the government should reserve the right to interveue. Mr. i Thompson replied that he was quite willing to stop there in this argument, as he thought that the views of the committee cor responded with his own on the general question. THE APPORTIONMENT BILL. The apportionment bill Introduced In t.he House by Mr. Cox, of New York, to-day, fixes the number of Representatives at 301, i and apportions them among the States as follows Alabama, 8 Arkansas, 5 California, 5 Colorado, 1; Florida, 1; Georgia, 9 Illi nois, 19; Indiana, 12; lowa, 10 Kansas, 6; Kentucky, 10; Louisiana, 6; Maine, 4 Maryland, 6; Massachusetts, 11; Michigan, 10; Minnesota, 5; Mississippi, 7; Missouri, 13; Nebraska, 3; Nevada, 1; New Ilamp shire, 2; New Jersey, 7; New York, 31; North Carolina, 8; Ohio, 19; Oregon, 1; Pennsjlvania, 26; Rhode Island, 2; South Carolina, 6; Tennessee, 9; Texas, 10; Ver mont, 2; Virginia, 9; West Virginia,4; Wis consin, 8.

A REPUBLICAN CAUCUS. The Republican Senators held a caucus this morning, at which It was determined that when the Kellogg case comes up In the Senate the Republicans will suhmit a motion to lay the whole mbject on the table, and that If this motion does not prevail, they will endeavor to prevent the adoption of the resolution unseating Kellogg by all the parliamentary resources in their power, the sentiment of the caucus being that if an extra session of Congress be made neceesary, in consequence of a prolonged struggle for the passage of this resolution, tbe Democrats must take the responsibility therefor. The caucus, after a partial Inter change of views in regard to questions of Congressional reapportionment and the proper method of proceedure for counting the electoral votes, authorized the Chair man to appoint two committees, each to consist of five members, to report on each subject to a future caucus. CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTER NOTES. The illness of Representative Atkins, Chairman of the House Committee on Ap propriations, is reported more serious to day, and no meeting of the committee was held.

Me- Laugblln—Mr. Gladstone’* RepUe* to Two Questions to the House of Common*. Dublin, January 17.—The Court of Queen’s Bench is crowded to-day. Mr. MacDonougb, of counsel for the traversers, said he intended to put in evidence the forty-one acts of Parliament passed before and after the act of union, regarding the land laws and the preservation of the peace in Ireland. He called as a witness an evicted tenant, aged S3 years, whose feebleness caused a sensation. The prosecution objected to the evidence of this witness, but the court decided that it was admissible if the prosecution in tended to rely on the nineteenth count of the Indictment,which charges the traversers with conspiring to create discontent aud disaffection among the subjects of the Queen and ill-will and hostility between the different classes of Her Majesty’s subjects, and then the court said the trials could last for years. A short adjournment was granted on ap plication of the Attorney General, Mr. Law, to enable him to consult his col leagues. On the reassembling of the court, Attor ney General Law announced that he would abandon the fourteenth count, and the evi dence of the evicted tenants was conse quently ruled out ss inadmissable. Mr. O’Donoghue closed the evidence for the defense. Mr. McLaughlin, who is especially re tained on behalf of Mr. Brenter, made a telling speech. He said the prosecution was undertaken in behalf of the landlords, who were hereditary enemies of peaceful rule In Ireland. While Mr. Parnell and Mr. Dillon were begging re lief to America, the landtords even denied tbe existence of distress. It was as impossible for the tenants to pay the rents as for England to pay her national debt. Mr. McLaughlin was loudly applauded at the close of his speech. London, January 17.—1n the House of Commons this afternoon. Mr. Gladstone, replying to a question, said the attention of the government had been called to frequent interruptions to the pro ceedings of the House by motions for adjournment, which began to be resorted to as early as January 7tb, but they would have to take larger and wider views on tbe question and must withhold further particulars until their views were mature. Mr. Gladstone, in reply to another inqui ry, said that no offer of mediation with re ference to the Transvaal had been received from Holland or any other government. James A. Whitney to Aml*t 1m De fendin'; Cadet Wlilttaker. New York, January 17.—James A. Whit ney, a life long Democrat, will assist ex- Governor Chamberlain In defending Cadet Whittaker.

Yonns Spatted Tall Rloplug with the Wife of Stranger Horse. Omaha Herald. A scandal among the highest circles of the Sioux nation has just been agitat j ing aboriginal society at Rosebud Agen cy. The particulars are given in the Herald by a gentleman who came from the place a day or two ago. Some days since young Spotted Tail, son of Spotted Tail, the renowned chief of ail the i Sioux, took advantage of the absence of Chief Stranger Horse on a hunting ex- I peditioD, to persuade Stranger Horse’s squaw to elope and live with him. They remained several days in young Spot’s tepee without interruption. Stranger Horse returned from the hunt to find his lire gone out, his squaw—he had but one—departed, and his tepee desolate. Gathering his friends about him, he started out with his rifle, threatening the life of the chief wLo had brought shame into his household. The nffair was re ported to the agent, who summoned the faithless wife and her paramour to the agency, where they were confronted with the wronged husband. Young Spotted Tail appeared to have passed through a long debauch, and the woman held her head in the presence of her husband. When the agent demand ed of young Spot why he had commit ted thia wrong the culprit gave the same lamentable excuse that was offered by the first of the race of men: “She led me Into it,” said the wayward chief. After a full hearing of the case, in which the agent acted as a mediator, it was decided that the wounded honor of Stranger Horse should be healed with the gift of an American horse and a number of valu able articles, and that he should take back his wife and live with her again. Any father who goes out and put* tar on top of his front gate after dark must be loat to all sense of humanity.

Rorketter Submit* a Minority Report—Oppose* Any Grant of Ar bitrary Power—Rebate* and Spe cial Rate*—Wbat Are and Are Not Discrimination*. One of the clearest and most convincing articles upon the subject of regulating rail roads by State legislation is from Mr. C. H. Rochester, one of the Railroad Commis sioners of Kentucky. The Commission was created by tbe Legislature last May, and la j requested to report to the Governor such facts, statements and explanations as will disclose the actual workings of the system i of railroad transportation in its bearings upon the business and prosperity of tbe people of that State, and such suggestions in relation thereto as to them may seem appropriate, and particularly as to whether, in their judgment, the railroads are classi fied in regard to the rate of fare and freight to be charged upon them, and, if so, lu j what manner; also, as to whether a classifi- I cation of freight can be made, and in what manner. The Commission, which is purely advis ory, after reviewing the progress and eon dition of railroad corporations in the State, conclude that such a classification of freight i can bo made, which will, in a great meas ure, remedy existing evils of extortion and I discrimination. Just here, however, the j report divides. Two members of the Com mission proceed to say that, as the adoption of a system of freight classification by the Legislature, to be adhered t* by tbe rail road companies as fixed and determined, j might be impracticable, therefore some Commission should be authorized to so alter, modify and adapt the system as oc i casfon may demand or circumstances re j quiro. Such, substantially, is tbe Georgia Commission, possessing the power, from time to time, to prescribe, alter and amend i such schedules of rates as they may impose upon railroads in the Slate. Such an ad i vance, however, Mr. Rochester, the third member of the Kentucky Commission, op poses in an exceedingly able and conserva- I tive minority report. This he believes to j be a dangerous grant of power, even if it could be constitutionally given, and might !be unwisely exercised.' The result would be as in Wisconsin years ago. The attempt j was there made virtually to run the railroads by the State, through a Commission ap pointed by its Legislature. The plan re sulted in complete and disastrous failure, and the same constituency which clamored 1 so loudly for a Commission with extraordi nary and arbitrary power, alter seeing the impracticability of its work, and the “con j fusion worse confounded” into which both the people and the railroads were brought, j was as outspoken and earnest for the repeal i of the law creating the Commission as it bad been for its passage. The Georgia Com i mission, composed of three from amongst the best men of that State, while having ac complished much good by their wise sug gestions, now,when undertaking to exercise the extraordinary, and it may be said, arbi trary powers conferred upon it, finds itself environed with serious difficulty, to such extent that there is reason to believe it would gladly be shorn of much of its power, the exercise of which the people expect at its hands. If that commission, personally j known to consist of men of the highest ca pacity and Integrity, is appalled at the mag nitude of its powers, and the difficulty of Its exercise wisely and well.isittoomuch to 1 expect that a “Railroad Commission, or j some other person or persons at the same I time,” with like power, would meet with less embarrassment or greater success in Kentucky? My strong conviction is iit would not, and that in less than j a year such an organization would find itself hopelessly “stuck in the mud!” The running of railroads is a j science, and years of close, daily study are required to understand it, and only such as do thus devote themselves can be expected to be competent to tbe management of tbis complex and difficult question. Tbe power i of a Railroad Commission, limited, as it is, i by the law under which the present one has i its authority, U thought to be as great as 1 should be granted, its powers being sug- I gestive or advisory, except in cases where the law may be violated, and the success of this Commission, so far, attests the wisdom i of a limitation of its authority. I Mr. Rochester then proceeds to treat of several important subjects connected with the railroad problem as follows; REBATES AND DRAWBACKS. It is certainly true that the law requires that all freight rates should have conspicu ous and continuous posting in the depots of all railroads in Kentucky, so that all persons may have access to and know them. The establishment of a system allowing re l bates and drawbacks, when such are not made public, is believed to be In violation i both of the spirit and letter of the law, and if such system Is practiced by any road in the State, it should cease or this Commis i sion shall require it to be corrected in the manner prescribed by law. Farther, it i would seem more in accordance with fair j dealings to discontinue the prac tice of giving rebates or drawbacks, even though the roads giving them might comply with the law in conspicu ouslv posting the same in their places of business, for the very apparent reason that many shippers, not understanding the meaning of rebates and drawbacks, or bow procured, may fail to secure any advantage therefrom. To illustrate: When as many as ten car loads of stock were shipped at say S2O per car load, with a promise of a re bate of $4 on arrival at destination,it would simplify the matter to say that when as many as ten car loads of stock are shipped at any one time by a bona, fide shipper, ihe rate should be $lO. As one of the Commis sion, after having given tbe question much thought, it seems to me that the great com mercial principle which draws the disllnc tiou between wholesale and retail rates, jus tifj ing a smaller per centum of profit upon the former than the latter, has its applica tion in the business of railroad transporta tion. The railroads charge more per bead 1 for shipment of a single animal, or per i hundred pounds of freight, than for a whole car load of stock, or freight of tbe same class, and this is right. SPECIAL RATES. Secret special rates, favoring one Indvid ual above another, Is manifestly wrong, and j If brought to the knowledge of the Com mission it would be its duty to eeeure their correction. All shippers from the same locality or station, shipping In like quanti ties, Rhould be placed upon an exact equali ty. But if a railroad company agrees to furnish to a manufacturer, a miner ora farmer, special rates, it should in justice furnish like special rates to all similar classes shipped from the same point, and snch special rate should be published as re quired by law. This done, there Is no un i just discrimination. Let it be supposed tbat A for himself, or representing himself and others, elects to establish in the i town of Hopkinsville a Luge flouring mill, that he may grind the wheat grown in that section for ship ment to dlftant markets. After his mill Is up aDd under way, he finds that he cannot ship his flour as cheaply a* the same article can be t&keu from Louisville, Cincinnati, St, Louis or Chicago to Atlanta or other points South. He applies to the railroad company upon whoce line he lives for a special rate to meet the competition from 1 other points. Tb* road, by reason of the comparative wholesale business which will come to it, grants the special rate. Ought it not to do so, provided the same rate Is granted to all manufacturers of the same class and can It not without being justly subjected to harsh criticism The railroad Increases its business, the manufacturer finds a market In which he cau compete with other points, and the farmer, who pro duces the wheat, secures the benefit of a home market and a remunerative price for his grain, not otherwise obtainable. So all are benefited, and no one injured. JUST AND UNJUST DISCRIMINATION IN TARIFF KATBS. While no discrimination would be just between individuals traveling the same dis tances, or shipping freight from and to the same po' .a, yet the power granted rail roads in taeir charters, in the adjustment of freight and passenger tariffs, to dUcrimi nate in favor of through business, end in favor of loDg over short distances, is essen tial to their successful operation. Further, railroads mav and do carry freight without injustice or damage to any one, to and from competitive points, cheaper than between points not competitive. Suppose the peo ple at Lebanon say that the rates on coal from the mines or from Louisville are too htgb; that they are more than consists with a fairly remunerative profit, and thus they operate largely against the consumers of this article of fuel. This is sound reason ing, and if the railroad company, con vinced that the grounds of complaint are well taken, Institutes measures to lower the rates for tbe sake of even justice all around, □o one will say that it la not fair or right. Hut let It be urged that tbe road carries coal from tbe mines to Louisville, a longer dis tance, cheaper than to Lebanon. At the first blush this would seem unjust, but when tbe reasons are understood it could not be so regarded. If Lebanon gets a coal rate fair to her, and only fairly remunera tive to the railroad for its transportation, her people ought to be satisfied. When it la known that coal cannot betaken from the mines in Kentucky to Louisville and compete In tbe market with Pittsburg and Ohio river coal, floated down the river at comparatively little expense, unless a re duced rate Is given, the question at once arises whether the road shall lower the tariff, so that coal may be brought to Louisville at a rate which shall pay but little more than the fixed and running ex penses of the road, or shall maintain a rate which, while only reasonably remunerative, prevents shipment altogether. The rail road, in the exercise of a wise policy, con cludes to make a rate to Louisville, a termi nal and competitive point, that will enable the miners to ship to said point, to ran their mines the year round by reason of Louis ville-consumption, and so serves its own in terests in that it secures a through busi ness, otherwise lost to it, serves the miners aud serves the people of Louisville; all miners, of course, sharing the same advan tage of rates and no one discriminated against unjustly. The principle under dis cussion has apt illustration in the account given years ago of the householder who went out early in the day and hired laborers to work in his vineyard, egreeing upon a certain price for their da>’a service, ad mitted by them to be fair. When the day was far advanced he sent others to work lu his vineyard, and “when the even was come,” In fulfillment ot his contract, he paid each man as was agreed. This was satisfactory until It was found that those who ha 1 labored but a pa-.t of the day re ceived from the employer a earn equal to that received by those who hid borne the “heat and burden.” Replying to the com plaint of the latter, the lord of the vineyard rebuked them, pleading compliance with his contract. This doctrine, divinely enun ciated and approved by Him who “spake as never man spake,” will never be combatted or antagonized by the writer of this report. The majority report states that the Com mission believes that the railroad companies of in some instances, discriminate against the citizens of the State In favor of produce of other States. Not sharing ia this belief, I cannot absent to the report of the majority.basedupon it,either in its spirit, iU Utter or its lotjic. It has been well said that “all freight which moves long dis tances pays a less rate per ton per mile than freignt moving short distances. This is a universal principle of railroad tariffs all over the country. To attempt to adjust tariffs on any other basis, i. e., that of mak ing the same rate per ton per mile on all business, would upset the whole commerce of the country. Freight that go** one hun dred miles would be prohibited from mov ing if it were charged ten times the rate on that that goe3 ten miles, and if freight that goes one thousand miles were charged one hundred times as much as would be a rea sonable charge for ten miles the whole through traffic of the United States would he destroyed.” It is confidently believed that no discrimination, except that implied in the principle just announced, has been practiced by the railroads of this State. A BETTER AND WISER PRINCIPLE. It is believed that railroad companies should, ia framing freight, and passenger tariffs, keep constantly in view the fact that their interest and that of persons doing business with them are mutual and insepa rable, and all necessary aud proper care should be taken by the roads to demonstrate to the country that they act on this prin ciple. This done, a larger business would be brought to the roads, and thereby mu tual prosperity and confidence established. Low rates encourage production and travel upon a recognized principle of sound po litical economy. Whereas, If are made at the highest point within the limit of a preventive or embargo rate, the ten dency of the rule Is discouraging to all kinds of production, and of no permanent advantage to the railroads; but on the con trary, crippling to their business, while en gendering opposition to and discontent with the whole railroad system. It has been my constant aim to press the justice of the principle referred to upon the rail road officials in this State, and hope is in dulged that it Is receiving careful and fa vorable consideration. Should such be the principle adopted, the people surely would have do light to complain nor clamor against railroads which have done so much and can still do more to develop the wealth anfl prosperity of the State. Nor, indeed, would their be complaint or clamoring, for the public mind, quick to recognize equal justice, would be tranquillized and com posed, and harmonious relations exist be tween producer and transporter. This re sult attained would fulfill the prime object of the Legislature in the creation of this Railroad Commission. But If it must be that the Dublic mind shall continue to be exasperated, and the antagonism, unnatural and hurtful as it. is, bo still further en hanced, your Commissioner feels that no actor suggestion of his has contributed to so lamentable result. f im D a n 10 i nave yon caught a coldf EavCiy vl Are yon unable to raise the phlegm?

After the expiration of the morning hour, the Ben Holliday bill came up as unfinished business, and after a fruitless effort to take HD the Kellogg case, was proceeded with .antil 4:30 p. m when the Senate went into 1 executive session and soon after adjourned, i The Republican Senators had a caucus In rWashington yesterday, and determined that i when the Kellogg case came up for consid eration they would move to lay the whole ■subject on the table, and If unable to do this to prevent Its consideration by filibus tering. The Senate yesterday again rejected the ’nomination of John B. Stickney as United States District Attorney for the Northern ■district of Florida. The United States Supreme Court has rendered a decision in the Florida Railroad cases. Decrees in all the cases were af firmed. Alvin Hawkins was inaugurated Governor of Tennessee yesterday.

Senator Brown has Introduced In the Senate a bill for an appropriation of forty thousand dollars for lighting up the Savan i nah river from the bar to the city. There Is good prospect of its success. The Senator has also brought to the attention of the Secretary of War the subject of an audi tioual appropriation for the improvement of the Savannah river and harbor. The sub-committee of the House Elections Committee have reported in favor of un seating Hon. Noble A. Hull, of Florida. In the traversers’ trials yesterday, Mr. McDonough, of counsel for the defense, said he intended to put In evidence the 41 acts of Parliament passed before and after the act of union, regarding the land laws and the preservation of the peace in Ireland. He also introduced as a witness an evicted tenant S3 years of age, whose appearance created a sensation. Objection was made to the evidence of this witness, but the court ruled that it was admissible If the prosecution Intended to rely on the nineteenth count of the Indictment, stating that, under these circumstances, the trial might last for years. A short adjournment was granted to enable the Attorney General to consult his colleagues. Ex-Secretary of the Navy Thompson had "A hearing yesterday before the House Com mittee ou the Interoccanic Canal. He took the ground that the Monroe doctrine was not applicable to this enterprise, which should be left to the control of engineering and financial considerations. Mr. Single ton, of the committee, stated that the gov ernment did not propose to interfere at this time, but would reserve the right to do bo should Interference become necessary. Senator Garland and Representative Phillips yesterday submitted, on the part of the Congressional members of tbe Board of Visitors to West Point, reports on the Military Academy. In their reports they dwelt at length on the subject of admitting colored cadets to the academy. They say no reason can be assigned why such cadets should not receive full and equal advan tages st the academy. They say, however, that the mingling of white and colored cadets on terms of social equality is sub ject to continual drawbacks and troubles, which are so far inherent that, in their judgment, no regulation of law can control them. The New York stock market opened strong and buoyant yesterday, and in early dealings advanced %to 5 per cent.

Dana Cos., T 9 and 81 Wil liam street, in that city. This volume comprises the issues of that sterling financial journal from July to December, inclusive, and, as usual, is filled with ably written and well digested editorial articles on all subjects relating to every department of business, together with foreign correspondence, full report of the condition of stocks and bonds throughout the country, and all other matters interesting to business men and investors. It is, in a word, a complete commercial encyclopedia, invaluable as a book of reference. Its acknowledged high standing is sufficient guarantee of its merit, necessitating no extended in dorsement at our hands. A somewhat peculiar bill was intro duced in the Pennsylvania Legislature on Wednesday providing that no physi cian or surgeon shall be allowed or com pelled to disclose any information be may acquire in his professional practice or in his treatment of patients.

Our Florida exchanges, writing Con cerning the effect of the recent freeze in that State upon the oranges and other fruit, all agree, in declaring that the bearing orange trees were not materially injured even when most exposed to the cold, although the branches were fre quently encrusted with ice, and icicles hung pendant from the leaves. The fruit when left on the trees was, of course fro zen and damaged, and considerable loss will result from this; but tbe trees them selves are uninjured, and will be in as fine condition as ever one year hence. There is no evil without a compen sating good, and it is likely that the Florida freeze will prove a blessing in disguise. In the first place it is gener ally believed by those who have studied the matter closely that the extreme cold killed off pretty generally the eggs of the insects which prove so troublesome to the orange growers as well as the in sects themselves, and that next year the trees will feel the good effects of their destruction. In the next place the loss of the fruit by freezing will teach orange growers a valuable lesson regarding tbe danger of allowing their fruit to remain on the trees after it is ripened, instead of gather ing and shipping it to market before it can be exposed to damage from a cold snap. A firm in this city, which does a large business in Florida fruit, told us yesterday that they had written to their customers some time before Christmas, begging them to send their crops to market, be cause the fruit was in fine condition and could command a good price. The letters were unheeded, however, and this same firm has now on hand hundreds of splendid looking oranges, but which are almost worthless, because while still very juicy, the freezing process through which they had passed has extracted all the sugar from the juice, leaving the fruit with an insipid taste. In this con nection, we see that a writer in the New York World on the subject of frozen oranges says that when once picked, if by any means they then become frozen, they can be restored to as good condition as ever by being soaked for about twen ty-four hours in cold water. “This plan,” says that paper, “of drenching frozen vegetation with water is a familiar one to gardeners in the North, and is often followed successfully with flowers, when these are found frost-bitten in the morning; only, the drenching must be done before the sun has had time to thaw out the frost It is a curious fact, however, that frozen oranges on the tree cannot be restored by this process, even if picked for the purpose of the experiment If frozen before they are picked they are a total loss.” Doubtless the orange growers of our sister State will remember these facts, and—so that they may ship their oranges in good con dition, and also be able to reclaim them should they become subjected to a freeze—they will probably see to it that the fruit is hereafter gathered as it ripens. The great advantage which the late freeze will be to orange growing, how ever, is that it will be very likely to give renewed impetus to that industry. Heretofore, no doubt, many who would have liked to have invested in orange groves have been deterred from so doing through fc&r that a cold spell, such as has just visited that State, might come, and, cutting ofl£ both fruit and trees, destroy in a day the expense and labor of years. It has been very conclu sively proven now that the orange tree can stand a much more consider able amount of cold than has been generally supposed without injury, and since with the trees uninjured the source of revenue from a grove is only temporarily cut off—and there is scarcely a likelihood that such a freeze as that of the present winter will occur again in a generation—it is not im probable that there will be felt more con fidence in orange growing, and more persons will be willing to risk their capi tal in that direction. We hope, therefore, that the late freeze will in the end be productive of much more good than harm, and that before another year shall have passed our neighboring State will have more than recovered her losses from the present unusually severe winter. “The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government,” is the title of the new book by Mr. Jefferson Davis, and on which he has been engaged for the last five years. The work is to be issued by the Appletons, of New York, in two large volumes at $5 each, and is expected to be out in ninety days. A representa tive of the bouse of Appletons says that Mr. Davis has proceeded in the prepara tion of this history with the utmost de liberation. He has taken nothing for granted, but has examined into the smallest details and sifted the records. He was ambitious, too, to give the work such scope as to make it comprehensive as well as thorough. His labor has, there fore, been immense. The name first de termined on for the work was “The His tory of the Confederate War for Inde pendence: Its Causes and Results,” but the one now adopted is evidently the better one. The whisky tax, unlike Peter Schle mihl, seems to be pursued by its own shadow. During the war some clever fellows got “burning fluid” put on the free list and then made it with 90 per cent, of whisky, intending to extract and actually extracting the 10 per cent, of turpentine and thereby retaining un taxed whisky. Two years ago the manufacture of vinegar through “alco holic vaporization” was authorized by Congress as a “free and easy” process, but the old burning fluid tactics accom panied that manufacture, and now its vinegar contains about 80 per cent of whisky, and the vinegar is sold and used as untaxed whisky. Now it is proposed to place a government inspector in each vinegar manufactory and to keep its alcoholic percentage down to 20 per cent. The Yorktown- Celebration. —Hon. John Welsh, of Philadelphia, has writ ten a letter in commendation and sup port of the proposed Yorktown celebra tion. He says no event in the war of the revolution is more prominent than the battle of Yorktown, that the nation cannot do a wiser act than to perpetuate in the minds of those who are now en joying the fruits of the great sacrifices then made the deepest veneration for those who laid so well the foundation of our great republic, and that no other spot is so fit for the purpose as that whereon the memorable struggle oc curred. Senator Conkling telegraphs Hon. Thoe. C. Platt, Republican caucus nomi nee for United States Senator in the New York Legislature, as follows; “I congratulate the Republican party and the State of New York on the choice of a Senator who never apologized for being a stalwart Republican.” The Threatened Danger. Col. McClure, In one of his letters, ex presses a conviction that the whites in the South will be certain to divide po litically and not long hence, and that great demoralization to both races will follow: He says: “There is now nothing to demoralize the black man, or to divert him from his industry and the education of his child ren. He is rapidly becoming the owner or lessee of lands and is his own farmer, and is, in man? instances, accumulating wealth with habits of industry; but when the white man locks horns with his fel low in the battle of ambition, the' least artful demagogues will best control the ignorant freedmen, and the degradation of both races must follow.” Whereupon the Wilmington .Slar re marks; “Colonel McClure has said no thing truer than when he declares that a division of the whites would be the signal for prostitution and demoraliaa tion. We have heard gentlemen here and elsewhere indulge such prophecies for years. Whenever the whites dis integrate politically there will be in jected an element of contention into the political struggles of the South that can result in nothing else but debauchery and corruption. In North Carolina prior to 1836, the free negroes—“the oldish” as they were called afterwards by the newly liberated slaves—voted, and in counties like Granville and Halifax where there were a hundred or two voters of this class there was shameful demoralization both among white politicians ana the negroes. CoL McClure says of the re cent Gubernatorial contest in Georgia: “The division of the whites in Georgia under the Colquitt and Norwood flags sent a hurricane of debauchery among the colored vote of that State, and all the thriftless cupidity of ignorance has been whetted for future contests. This severe trial of universal suffrage must now come, and it will, present ihe prob lem in an unexpected phase Vo the na tion.” Rate of Increase of Whites and Blacks in the South. Census returns from the Southern States of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana and Nffrth Carolina show the following rate of increase of whites and blacks: Alabama—Whites, 27 per cent.; ne groes, 26 per cent. Arkansas —Whites, 64 per cent.; ne groes, 88 per cent Georgia—Whites,27 percent.; negroes, 32 per cent. Louisiana—Whites, 26 per cent.; ne groes, 33 per cent. North Carolina—Whites, 29 per cent.; negroes, 33 per cent. It will thus be seen that with the exception of Alabama the negro race has been increasing more rapidly than the whites in the Southern States. The same surprising fact has also been shown by the census returns of South Carolina and Maryland. If the census enumerators could have taken into their count the tens of thousands of negroes reported by the Radical press as having been shot, hung and butchered by the Democrats in the South within the last decade, the ratio of increase of the blacks over the whites would have been immensely greater. It seems that our “colored fellow citizens” are not only wonderfully prolific, but that they stand killing bet ter than any other race of people known to history. A Western correspondent has been ex amining an interesting set of bound and printed books in the Treasury Depart ment at Washington, which are not open to public inspection, and give the name and residence of every holder of regis tered four per cent, bonds in the United States. The amounts range from fifty dollars, which is the smallest, up to $51,000,000, which is the largest sum owned by one person. This latter sum is owned by W. H. Vanderbilt, and upon it he draws $510,000 every ninety days. A check for that amount is maded to him quarterly. At the same time the owner of a fifty dollar bond re ceives fifty cents. Outside of the Van derbilt family there is no single in dividual who owns over $5,000,000 of regis’ered bonds. Those who own sl,- 000,000 are not numerous. Quite a number—several hundred, in fact—in different portions of the country have over SIOO,OOO. Tire Census and Reapportionment. —A Washington dispatch says: “Mr. Cox, Chairman of the Census Commit tee, said to day that General^Walker had assured him that the population of the whole United States had been tabulated, and was all in except of one town, that of Covington, in Clearfield county, Pa., and he would soon have that, as he had sent a man up there to see about it As soon as it was in Mr. Cox said he would report his bill, probably reapportioning the representation of the States on the basis ot a nouse of three hundred mem bers. He said the bill would prescribe no form for conducting tbe election, and that Mr. Springer’s scheme would be squelched, as entirely out of place in the the bill.” Some months ago the members of the sugar trade of New York city appointed a committee to devise a project for the organization of a sugar exchange in that city. The committee reported last week, and the sugar men met the other day to consider this report. There was con siderable difference of opinion in the meeting as to the advisability of an ex change of this kind, but after some de bate it was carried in the affirmative. The exchange accordingly will be or ganized at once. Kansas City is a second Chicago as regards rapid growth. Indications seem to point to the fact that she will before many years hold the proud position of the leading city of the far West The receipts of all kinds of grain at the Kan sas City elevators during the past year were 7,839,697 bushels. The number of bushels of wheat was 3,610,532, and of corn 2,928,329. Dr. Fowler, the Methodist missionary Secretary, says that the 600,000,000 of heathens will go to hell if we do not send them the gospel. Dr. Whedon, another high Methodist authority, says, “We may charitably believe that not only the infants of heathendom, but millions of others, who are morally in fants, will be saved by the mercy of God.” The New Orleans Timet of Saturday publishes the views of a number ot sugar planters and those interested in the sugar crop, relative to the loss which the crop of Louisiana suffered by the late freeze. According to these gentlemen, the loss will be about twenty-five thousand hogs heads, or 10 per cent, of the estimated crop in the early part of the season. A meeting of persons interested in a movement to raise money to build a monument in the Central Park in honor of Edgar Allan Poe was held last week in New York. It is proposed that theat rical managers throughout the country give benefit performances in aid of the project About SBOO have already been raised. THE LATE FIRE IN PENSACOLA,

Report ot Ike Special Agent of the Treasury—Charges Against Deputy Collector Ilaynea— Rls Neglect of Government Property* Washington, D. C., January 17.—Tbe Special Agent sent by the Treasury Depart ment to inspect the condition of public property at Pensacola after the recent fire is very severe In his report upon Deputy Col lector Haynes. He reports to Secretary Sherman that Haynes devoted his entire attention during the fire to saving his personal property, wholly neglecting that of the United Btates. He further reports that a boat’s crew sent to the fire from the United States Revenue cutter was used by Haynes in saving a piano and other household goods belonging to him, while the public records and other government property was left to the mercy of the flames. Gold Spoons. There was a time, in the slow day s of the good old Whig party, when the United States was turned topsy turvy, and Yan Buren’s administration was rebuked and rejected by the persistent cry of “gold spoons used in the White House. That cry proved to have no better foundation than the fact that there was discovered in the Executive Mansion a set of plated spoons —and these had been used at one of tbe frugal dinners which the prudent Mr. Yan Buren on too rare occasions permitted himself to give to his friends. The entire Co3t, for this piece of extrava gance might have been SSO. How does that enormity look by the side of the gov ernment money required to maintain some of our modern Republican Presidents, whose salary, to begin with, is by the act of one of their number exactly doubled? Take, for example, one who was never elected to the Presidency— Mr. Hayes—who occupies the place to which the people, all unsuspicious of modern Republican counting-out im provements, had elected Mr. Tilden; and what do we find? The following items of White House expenditures for the past year will be as interesting reading as were tbe gold spoons: President f. $50,000 Private secretary 3,250 Assistant secretary 2.250 Two executive clerks, at $2,000 4.000 Stenographer.... 1,800 Stewed 1,800 Messenger and usher 1,200 Furnace keeper 864 One night watchman One night usher 1.200 Two day ushers, at $1,400 2,800 One usher at Secretary’s door 1.200 Two doorkeepers, at $1,200 2,400 One clerk 1,800 One clerk 1,400 One clerk 1,200 One telegraph operator 1,100 Four messengers (to wait on the three clerks and telegraph operator, nomi na.ly, but really servants), at $1,200.. 4,800 Two horses for messengers, to be fur nished by Secretary of War, nominal ly for use of messengers, but really for Secretary’s carriage (cost not given—new item) Contingent expenses 6 000 Grounds south of Executive Mansion... 5,001 Refurnishing, repairs and greenhouse.. 25,000 Total, without the horses $119,964 About half of the above items are additional and modern improvements, and the above list does not tell half of the real story. A bold case of robbery is that of Litch field, 111., which has secured valuable water works without paying for them. Litchfield, a few years ago, decided to issue water works bonds. This was done, the bonds were negotiated in New York and the money employed in building the works. For two years interest was paid, and then Litchfield declined to pay it any longer, on the ground that the bonds were issued in contradiction to the laws of Illinois, which prohibit any town from issuing bonds beyond 5 per cent, on its assessed value. Litchfield, it seems, has already run its debt up to the limit. When the question came before the United States Supreme Court it de cided that the bonds were improperly issued and the town could not be forced to pay them; and that the bondholders were without remedy. In the mean while the water works are finished and the Litchfieldians are enjoying a plenti ful supply of fresh water, and all this without its costing them a cent. Yerdict Against the New York Mutual Life. —Mrs. Johanna F. Schultz, of Hoboken, N. J., has obtained a verdict in the United States Court at New York against the Mutual Life In surance Company, of that city, for $5,819, amount of insurance and divi dends on a policy granted her husband, who at the time of his death, which oc curred in Germany, had paid about $1,200. When notice of the death was served on the company the officers ac knowledged their liability, and demand ed sixty days before paying. In the meantime they ascertained that Schultz had been in the habit of taking a dram of “schnapps” four or five times a day, and refused payment on the ground that he had promised in his application to abstain from habits detrimental to health. The jury, however, could not see the justice of any such plea, and the widow was awarded the full amount of her claim. More Trouble for Mr. Bull.— lt seems as if Great Britain ha 9 too many irons in the fire just now, and some of them are undoubtedly very hot. She has trouble and expense in South Africa. She is retiring from her “scientific fron tier” in Afghanistan. She is overwhelm ed with care and auxiety in regard to the state of affairs in Ireland. She has to watch her dockyards, her guard ships and her arsenals. She sees agrarianism taking root in Surry and other counties, and,finally,news comes to her from India that a plot has been discovered at Kola pore, which looks as if a second mutiny had been meditated. These are serious troubles, and will cost her a great deal in blood and money before the end of the present year. Tbe report of the Secretary of State of New York bears witness to the marvel ous stimulation of business activity dur ing the past year. There were chartered in 1880 no less than sixty-seven railroads, ■ixty-one limited companies for business, and certificates filed of the organization of no less than two thousand one hun dred and forty-two other corporations. This is a better showing than ever before made. flop fitters. ThcßParestand Best Medicine ever Made. Acoarabinaiion cf Hops.

To keep the lead in “LOW PRICES" and desirable goods Is no child's play. When all other merchants hare retired, WEISBEIN is still at work, studying How to excal himself, sending off letters and telegrams to his buyers, cautiouing them, exhorting them, commending them, as the case may be—in fact, working with an energy best known to the trade, who are often at their wits’ end to account for the marvelous bargains he is offering. Yet there are some people who have never taken the trouble to compare prices and qualities, for they have been taken In once or oftener by somebody’s advertisement, and therefore do not place any confidence in adver tisements. We agree there are a great many advertisements in which there cannot be placed any confidence, but WEISBEIN defies anybody to prove that he has ever advertised anything which he did not have, or that he has misrepresented any article. He has learned at the expense of others that it does not pay to try and fool or deceive the public. UPON OUR COUNTERS We throw almost daily some new and specially great Bargain. For this week we Invite the public to examine the following MARVELOUS BARGAINS 100 dozen CARDINAL FRENCH MISSES'HOSE, from 5 to 8)4, full regular made; no better goods were ever seen in this city; all sizes at the uniform price of 35c. These goods are worth not less than 50c. to 75c.. according to sizes. 200 dozen Ladies' Fine LINEN HANDKERCHIEFS at the uniform price of 11 cents each. This quality has never been offered in this or any other market at less than 25c. each. There are a great many in this lot worth 35c. to 40c. 600 dozen Gents’ very Fine Pure LINEN HANDKERCHIEFS at the uniform price of 16 cents each. We defy any merchant to match them at less than 40 cents. 300 dozen Extra Fine Gents' LINEN HANDKERCHIEFS at the uniform price of 25 cents each. We positively insist upon it, that it is a better Handkerchief than any to be found in this city at 50 cents. 130 dozen TURKEY RED DOYLIES at 3U cents each, or 42 cents per dozen. These goods can not be bought elsewhere for less than 75c. They are warranted perfectly fast colors. 250 dozen Bleached DAMASK DOYLIES, with red and blue borders, at the uniform price of 3)4 cents each, or 42 cents per dozen. See them; the goods speak for themselves. 40 dozen all Linen HUCK TOWELg, 22x40 inches, the very best quality ever seen, at the uni form price of 25 cents each. 250 dozen Linen DAMASK TOWELS at 12)4c., 15c., 20c. and 25c. They are positively 50 per cent, below the market. 50 dozen Gents’ Real KID GLOVES, in black and colors, of the celebrated Harris’ “Seamless,” at only sl. This Glove is retailed all over the country at $2 25, even by Harris himself. CLOAKS! CLOAKS! CLOAKS! We have closed out the balance of a manufacturers’ stock of 248 CLOAKS at less than half its value, and we offer them with only a very slight profit on cost, which makes them an unheard of bargain.

Lecture on Missionary Travels. Last evening, in the lecture room of the Independent Presbyterian Church, the Rev. J. Paterson, from Glasgow, Scotland, de livered a lecture on the Incidents and ad ventures connected with his axtensive travels through the world. It would be difficult to give In a brief notice an account of his won derful journeying*, for they embrace Aus tralia and all its colonies, Tasmania, New Zealand, India, Turkey, Burmab, Russia, Finland, Italy, and, to crown all, Palestine, He first dealt with bis travels in Australia, regarding which he gave much valuable In formation. This was followed by an interesting account of his visit to India. He spoke first In reference to the regularity of the yearly monsoon rains on which that country’s fertility so much depends, and narrated many circumstances to show the degradation and ignorance of its people, and some facts, also, that indicated a com ing change for the better. Railways, gov ernment education, and especially mission ary teaching,was undermining the false and hoary superstitions of the past. What a glorious field, said the lecturer, for mis sionary enterprise! The account of his rencounter with the tiger in Central ludl*, and with the method adopted for frightening it, was veiy amus ing. Next came Mr. Paterson’s account of his visit to the wonderful ruins of Ninevah and Babylon. This was specially interesting, from the fact that so few visit that first paradise region. The remarkable provi dences that accompanied this missionary in this Journey were well fitted to encourage those that would go into the “region be yond.” Next came bis visit to Russia and its great cities—Moscow and St. Peters burg. Who that heard his account of tbe state of matters in the Greek Church there does not feel convinced that a great refor mation is needed, both in the State and in the Church? After this came an account cf the missionary’s interview with the King of Burmah; how he gave the King three bottles of co logne water, and how the King gave him 300 rupees; how he saw the King itting on his throne fanned by peacock feathers in the hand of one of hi* young queens! After this came a racy sketch of hU visit to Rome, Pompeii, Jerusalem and Bethle hem, and a short sketch of his great jour neys in America since he crossed the Atlantic in April, 1879, travels that have extended through Canada and the grea’erpart of the United States. All pres ent, qnd there was a large gathering consid ering the Inclemency or the evening, seemed to enjoy the lecture. Mr. Paterson leaves for Florida to day and will return soon again to the North, whence he crosses to Scotland. We hope he will, by the equally In teresting lectures on hi* experience* in America, which he proposes to deliver there, be the means of inducing desirable emigra tion to this country.

January 11—The inner can buoy at the mouth of the river is an im portant bearing for vessels coming into the haroor at night, and It was located so they would have pleuty of water going either sice of it. Of late, however, th j sand has made around it, so that now it is unsafe for even fishing boats to go on the Plum Island side of the buoy. As it is in range of the lights a ves sel might get into difficulty if the buoy is not changed. RECEIPTS. Per Charleston and Savannah Railway.

The counterfeiter of Ricord's Vital Restora tive. of which I am sole owner and proprietor in the United States, tried to keep the agency and prepare himself with a spurious imitation and change the name from F.icord s Vital Re storetive to Dr. Ricord's Restorative to have a similarity in name. I have analyzed De Lis ser's Pills, which contain ft gr. Damiana. The public can take the whole 50 pills at one dose and will neither gain nor lose.

OUR SUO CB fS S3 Has been most gratifying. We have more than doubled the volume of our business. It has proved to us that the old adage: “SMALL PROFITS AND QUICK SALES,” 18 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 tnat ©ur increased business proves we have over come it, in a great number of instances. It is strange that in this enlightened age there are yet people, and a goodly number of them, who do not think that they receive value unless they have to pay two or three times as much as the article is really worth. We especially allude to the Jewelry business, which is to the bulk of buyers yet a hidden mystery. We wish it to be understood that our goods are equal to any to be had elsewhere. Our Waltham natches are the same as all other Waltham Watches, according to the fineness of the carat, and so with all other goods. We are determined to sell only such goods as will give invariable satisfaction,and what we do sell we guarantee to be as represented. Owing to the increase of our business, we are carrying an exceedingly fine stock of all kinds of goods, such as are to be found only in a FIRST CLASS JEWELRY HOUSE, and respect fully invite the public to examine our goods and to compare prices.
