A party repaired to the river and recovered the body, which proved to be that of well known colored man named Cuyler Pasco. He lived in th t locality, and had been missing for over a week. It is supposed that he started to his timber in a small boat, which upset, and, be ing unable to swim, was drowned. Tim body was at once buried.” The Clinch county correspondent of the ay cross Reporter writes that pape’: “An old negro man aear Stockton. In this county, has set out se r eral hundred orange trees. He has gone among the pine trees and set out his grove. His plan is to clear up a space twelve feet square and plant a tree, then twelve feet from there clear up another twelve feet square and plant again This is done among the green pines. He leaves them growing as a protec tion to the trees. Our colored friend is a pioneer in this line, and wiii at no distant day rap the reward of his industry and enterprise We learn of a gentleman in an adjoining county that contemplates setting out several thousand trees. There are two gentlemen in this county that propose to plant a grove of trees on an island in the tuwannoocliee. near DuPont. Do Vc go to Florida or to the West, but stay in Ciinch county. There are millions, young men. in the orange, sand pear and scuppemeng grape in our county. There is millions In it, and don’t forget it." The Gainesville Herald says: “Just as we were going to press last week we learned of the sadden death of Joel Davis, one rf the old citizens of the county, being in his eighty-first year. His death was remarkable. He had been in his usual health for some time and was a vigorous man for his years. He came to town on Saturday, during the snow storm, to the district election, and experienced no incon venience from the exposure. On the day pre vious to his death he worked in his shop and retired to bed apparently in good beilth. Dur ing the night he got up, and on returning to bed told his wife that it was still rairdrg, and, she supposed, dropped quietly to sleep. A short time afterwards she noticed that he was cold, and putting her haud upon his face found that he was dead. Naturally frightened, she got up and commenced blowing a horn to e rouse her neighbors, and soon secured assist ance. but death had done its work. His death was supposed to have been caused by dropsy, as he had been ueder treatment for that disease. He was buried at Prospect. On the bight following his death his wife was stricken with paralysis, caused perhaps by the shock of the previous night.” The Griffin A’errs says: “On the Beeks plate, about a mile from the city, two colored indi viduals. John Muekle and Peter Rogers, came to angry blows yesterday Rogers knocked Muckle’s hat off. whereup n Muekle sailed into him with an axe heive. Rogers' arm was broken ia the melee. At John Tiiman's bar room, on Hill street, a popular resort for the town darkey, an accident occurred yesterday, which threatens to diminish our colored population. Several negro-s were in the room, one of them handling a double-barrelled shot gun. The latter was standing in front of the (•ar. Behind the bar two negroes were sitting near a stove. The negro with the gun, in try ing to hand it across the bar to another darkey, did it in such a careless way that the hammer caught on the edge of the bar, and the gun was discharged, th* contents striking the negroes sitting at the stove. Both of them were terri bly injured, though not fatally. One of them was shot Ia the shoulder and in the side of his face, a shot en*ering one r.f his eyes. The eye sight is thought to be destroyed. The other negro r erived a lflrge portion of the discharge in his breast and shoulder, and is thought lo be mere seriously wounded Than the oth*r. There may be further developments in the case.” E b*-rton A>i es: “For the past two weeks bus n**ss has lieen unusually dull. Very little cotton Is selling, and apparently, less goods The merchants tell us that the people have not teen so punctual iu settling up their store ac counts this season as they were last, and that many fanners are largely hehind. Ttii may be accounted for to a great extent from the failure of crops last year in certain sections of the country. The farmers invested largely in I autvnos last year, and in a great many instances i it was entirely unprofitable, and consequently, a heavy loss was sustained. Another discour aging feature is that there was perhaps less grain raised in Elbert county last year than any other for the last ten. and many of the farmers will have to buy their emire supplies with I which to make another crop. Every man ought to know h s own business, but it seems I to us that the only safe plan is for every farmer to raise his own supplies, and make all the cot ton he can over and above this. We have no ticed that invariably w hen there are good grain crops made in th** country tiinesare easier and money more flush, stocli is In a better condi non, and the country seems to be in a more prosperous condition generally. To pay credit prices f r orn, meat and oilier supplies to inuk- a crop of cotton at eight or ten cents per pound is too risky a business to warrant suc e-***, an i we would prefer :o take our chances speculating in cotton futures.” Florida Affairs. Oranges are cheap at St. Augustine. They have been selling at ten cents a corn sack full, and the tfeekly states that at present all one has to do is to ask for them, and in some cases owners are giving chromos to anyone who will take the damaged fruit off their hands. The Palatka Herald has laid in a ne w supply of type, and comes out in a spick-span new dress. Congratulations extended. Says the Pa’atka Herald: “The leaves on most of the orange trees ia this section, touched by the chilly blasts that swept over our State a few weeks ago, are withered and fallen to the ground. The leafless trees, shorn of their da-fc green foliage, present an appear ance not unlike that of a Northern forest. Ihe fact of the orange trees shedding their leaves, however, is a sure indication that the trees are uninjured.” There has been received at this office a “specimen orange,” sent with the compliments of the season, from the place of Mr. L. 8. Jerui gan, at Banana, Florida, “a live reader of the WEEKLY News.” It was a fine specimen, and we hope the shadow of Mr. Jemigao, as well as that of his oranges, may never grow less. The Orlando Reporter reports that Judge Hayden, living near Sanford, picked a straw berry from one of his p auts ea New Tear's day that measured four by four and a half inches in circumference. It was of the cres cent seedling variety, which Judge H. pro nounces the earliest. He is giving considera ble attention to this fruit, and is having a very encouraging degree of success. Others would do well to follow his example. The Ocala Banner thinks the coming year bids fair to be a good one for cotton, and it hopes the farmers of that section will put in a good crop. The Reporter thin'es that the greatest need of Lake City is a bank. The Quincy Herald says that so many ne groes are leaving that place that their flight partakes of an exodus. It hopes their places will be speedily fldod with industrious, sober minded white people. A young black bear was killed one day last week near the residence of M. B. Floyd, three or four miles from Quincy. The Herald says Mr. Floyd had noticed the mysterious disap pearance of some hogs and other stock, and returning home one evening, found a calf had been killed. He took down his double barrel, and started af er the intruder. A short hunt revealed bruin, who had not yet left the prem ises. He was promptly shot, and was found to weigh In the neighborhood of seventy or eighty pounds. The Montioello Constitution says: “We have only time and space to announce that on Wed nesday. about noon, Mr. B. B. Whiddon, of Taylor county, brought Andrew Fell, the mur derer of J. H. Whitaker, to town, and turned him over to Sheriff Bailey, win placed him in jiiL The prisoner was captured In Madison county, near New Harmony Church. His feet are sore and swollen and he offered no resist ance. If he had resisted WUiddon would have killed him.” The Slarianaa Courier regrets to learn that the oats planted about the first of December were killed by the recent cold spell. The St. Augustine Brest -states that on Wednesday last there was picked up on the beacb a child’s doll, about ten inches in length, made of alabaster, which may probably have belonged to someone of the passengers of the ill-fated \>ra Cruz. It was dressed in a black velvet jaoket, trimmed with gold lace, cardi nal red skirt, aud white lace apron. Perhaps the doll may be recognized by some or the survivors of the wreck. Quincy Herald “A house occupied by Alrx. Larkings, a negro ou the'plantation of Mr W H. Scot’, was destroyed by fire recently, and an infant child of Larkicgs and p-rished by the fivmes. The clothing of one of the children caught fire dunDgtheab seuce of the mother, and the flamas being com rounicated to the bed, soon ignited the budd ing, which was totally destroyed. Two child ren were in the building, one of whom, the oldest, escaped. Mortice!ln Constitution: “William D.

These we think, exclusive of Mr Pitt, whose building is now well ndvanced. are the only ones as yet who have made an effort in the direction of repairing damages. M hue it is to be regretted that the majority of those houses to be reconstructed will be but single story brick, at the same time the fact of their being of brick material alone will make them, as a whole, a vast Improvement on some of the structures lately swept away. It is encourag ing no doubt to our people to see this work going on, and it surely speaks something of cur future prospects. Jacksonville Union: “Captain Kendrick, who is just from Sumter county, has placed on our i desk some tender vegetables and buds, which he brought with hi*n as an evidence that the cold did not seriously Injure anything In that section. There were Wot-somsand buds of both tbe lime and citron uninjured. Both of these are more tender than the orange. There were also green tomatoes of various sizes, and a few to- mato plants and guava twigs, all uninjured. Captain Kendrick also handed ns a certificate from John C. Love, of Leesburg, stating that the lime and citron twigs handed to Capt. Ken- I driek were plucked from his grove on the 11th of January, and had had no protection what ev r; and also one from Dr. P. Z. Fretwell, of the same place.sayingthat the tomat oes,guava, etc., handed to Cap:ain Kendrick had no pro tection. We glean also from our State ex change* that no damage was done to the limes, lemons or oranges in South Florida These facts will doubtless work to the ad van tage of that part of our State." Speaking of Count Das-i tbe Ocala Banner says: ‘‘This distinguished gentleman visited Ocala last Sunday in company with Captain Chambers, President ot the Midland Railway j and Canal Company, and Mr. N. S. Baiiey, the New York and London agent of the same. Count L’asst is an Italian ami distinguished himself under Garibaldi. He was President of j the It lian Commission at the lata centennial exposition at Philadelphia, and lias been in i America since that time. His vis.t to Florida, we understand, is in behalf of Italian j immigration. He has no personal pecuniary interest in the matter, but if he advises his i countrymen to immigrate hither it will be solely because he thinks it will improve their condition. He is highly pleased with what he has seen of Florida, and in the reports he is Preparing for circulation in Italy Florida will e lavorably mentioned and will occupy a con spicuous place. Count Dassi is over 70 years of age. and in personal appearance is a striking 1 and noble specimen of manhood. His manners are exceedingly agreeable and prepossesing." The Marianna Courier says “The weather has very much interfered with the operations of the more thrifty farmers in preparing their land3 for another crop. It is also learned that a few weeks ago it was the impression among the planters that farm labor would be abun dant, but more recently, quite a number of hands have gone to seek employment on the railroad to be built between Jacksonville and Waycross. Tbe inducement of one dollar and a quarter per day is carrying many who would otherwise stay on the farm contented. It is thought, howrver, a sufficient number can be employed as plough hands to begin with, and those leaving wiil become tired of the change and return m time fer cotton chopping. Be this as it may, the movement of guano is in dicative of a large increase in the yield of the next cotton crop, despite the present draw backs. The disposition among the farmers generally is to fertilize freely and raise a larger crop of cotton than ever before—no Jess acreage, but a more thorough cultivation and fertilization of the soil. In short, to use a common expression, they propose ’to make a spoon or spoil a horn,’ ignoring to a great ex tent the ‘hog and homtny.’ “Mr. John F. Dunn informs us,” says the Ocala Banner, of an important enterprise that will soon be started on the south side of Orange Lake. He has just completed a sale of 500 acres of pine lard to .Messrs Asahel Craw and C. A. Stearns, of Ware. Mass., who intend erecting a mi l for sawing orange boxes—both sides and headings, the same ss those now made at Bangor, Me. This will supply a need long felt by the orange growere of that section, and will pay from the start. They will also saw spokes, Inti'S and felloes for vehicles of every description. The machinery has already arrived and worx will commence at one-. Orange Lake Is just now enjoying the biggest boom ever known in the history of the State.” The St. John’s Weekly says: The gardens and groves in and around the town are do'eful to behold. The wholesale destruction of oranges, and the terrible loss to owners, can be fuliy resi zed only by an inspection of the premises where the golden fruit, formerly in its rich luxuriance, presented a most beautiful and tempting sight.can now be seen the seared and almost lifeless trunks, clothed with only a few wiitefl and crisp leaves, which fall at every breath, while the ground beneath is literally covered with the dropping fruit, frost bitten and rapidly decaying. But out of evil there mu*t always come some good, and it is said that the cold has also killed the various kinds of insect to which the' citrus family is sub ject, and consequently vigorousness will re turn rapidly to such trees as survive, and very probably sickly trees wiii be more readily restored by proper treatment.”

The Snow Slides In Blab, Salt Lake, January 18.—All have come down from Alta except sixteen persons. Last night a company was organized to go to Alta and recover the dead bodies, and a committee was appointed to take up sub scriptions for the relief of the refugees. The storm has cleared away, but it will be im possible to repair the damages to the min ing works and the railroad sheds before spring. A slide in American Fork buried the Pittsburg mine boarding bouse with two men In it, one of whom was dug out by Chinamen. Latest Mexican News.

T:e Cincinnati Southern Railway. Cincinnati, January 18.—The official re port of the workings of the Cincinnati Southern Railway for the past year, under the management of the company which has leased it, shows the earnings to be *1,485,- 3*28 and the operating expenses $586,900 The amount paid the city of Cincinnati under the terms of the lease ts $777,238. The stockholders have received as their share $67,121. A Victim of Internal Combustion. —The story is current in Harlem, New York, that an old man liviDg in that part of the city was almost the victim of internal combustion a few days ago. He was suffering from rheumatism, and was told that kerosene oil taken internally would relieve him. He swallowed a wineglassful, and soon feeling bet ter filled his pipe for a com fortable smoke. As he lighted it he saw a blue flame playing between the match and his lips, and felt a stinging sensation within liis mouth and throat. Hastily blowing on the match his breath ignited, and a ribbon of the flame ex tended the distance of a yard from his lips, while the burning within increased. He immediately closed his mouth and piaced his fingers on his nostrils, thus extinguishing the flame. He believes that but for his presence of mind he would have met a horrible death. Some of his neighbors believe so too; others are skeptical about the occurrence. A Party of Five Who Became In sane —Some four years ago a negro man died at Lauderdale station, as was supposed, of hydrophobia. The day of his death he was a raving maniac. It was thought best to confine him, but there was trouble in getting any one to under take the dangerous and difficult task. At last Dr. Kennedy, Dr. Webb and B. T. Rush volunteered to undertake it. The man’s wife assisted them, and with great difficulty they succeeded in fastening handcuffs upon his wrists. He died that evenimr. His wife soon went raving mad and died. Within the last six months the three white men engaged in the struggle with the negro to handcuff him have gone crazy; two of them have been sent to the lunatic asylum and the third on his way there.— Meridian (Miu.) Mercury. In the trial of Mrs. Brown, who has twice been convicted of murdering her husband, at Indianapolis, the prosecutor dwelt with great severity on her love for Wade, her accomplice in the crime. The prisoner interrupted him by screamimr: “You are killing me! Ob, don’t! don’t!’ and swooned away. Several other women also fainted, and the court had difficulty in restoring order. Mrs. Brown’s faint ing spell was followed by an hysterical attack, during which she cried that the lawyer was hunting her to death, and she begged for mercy in the most piteous terms. A colored railroad passenger in Ohio refused for a long time to give up his ticket to the conductor, protesting that he had paid his fare “at that other place down thar,’’ and the ticket was his receipt for the money. I have been using Tutt’s Pills for Dys pepsia and find them the best remedy I ever tried. Up to that time everything I ate disagreed with me.

Tlie ffilarsbal All Right with tbe Administration Proceedings ot Congress—The Contest Case of Blsbee vs. Hall—Remark* by Hr. Wood on a Three Per Ceut. Bond— Tbe Bill to Place General Ord on tbe Retired Ust. Washington, January 18.— Marshal Fitz slnaons Is in the city. He to-day had an Interview with President Hayes and Attor- ney General Devens In regard to Newcomb’6 report. He was most favorably received by both of these gentleman, and received from the President,assurances of a most satis factory character. Colonel Fitzsimoas will to-morrow commence his reply before the Department of Justice to Newcomb’s report and other statements that have been made against him. He has all the documents with him to sustain himself. He has also been assured by Senators Hill and Brown, and by Mr. Stephens, that after they had examined Newcomb’s rep ort, instead of, as has been generally reported, renouncing all support of him, they are asjstrongly In j his favor as ever. Col. Fltzsimons has no doubt but the whole matter will be settled In his favor. In view of the facts that he will present, there seems to be every reason for his confidence. The present hubbub, inspired by Andrew Clark, will subside as similar hubbubs have heretofore. It is a significant fact, as show ing which way the wind now blows, that Fitzsimons was to day informed at the De partment of Justice that a warrant for funds for his office will be signed to-morrow. SENATE PROCEEDINGS. Ia the Benate, the Vice President sub mitted a communication from the Secretary of the Interior, which transmitted the com pleted census returns of ISBO. On motion of Mr. Pendleton it was referred to the Cen sus Committee. The Chair also submitted a communication from the Secretary of the Interior, in response to the Senate resolu tion upon the alleged fraud in the census returns from the State of South Carolina. This was accompanied bv a letter from the Superintendent of the Census on the sub ject- On motion of Mr. Butler the same were tabled and ordered to be printed. Mr. McPherson, from the Oomraitte on Nava! Affairs, reported favorably the Senate bill to establish and equalize the grades and regulate appointments and promotions in the marine corps. Mr. Vest moved to refer to the Committee on Foreign Affairs the bill on the calendar to incorporate the Interoeeanlc Transporta tion Company and for other purposes. The motion was agreed to and the bill so referred. Mr. Hoar said he had proposed calling up this morning bis resolution instructing the Judiciary Committee to report the Geneva award bill, but be would defer doing so in view of the absence of the Chairman (Mr. Thurman) On motion of Mr. Edmunds the bill to provide for ascertaining and settling private land claims in certain States and Territo ries, which was partly discussed at the ses sion last year, was taken up, Mr. Edmunds i remarking that action was Important for the public and private Interests in the new territories through which the Southern j Pacific Railroad is to pass. Mr. Teller criti cised the pending amendment. The morning hour expired without action on the bill, when tbe Ben Holliday claim bill came up as the regular order. The bill was amended, read a third time, and passed finally—ayes 33, noes 19. A conference committee was ordered upon the consular and diploma’ic appropri ation bill, a:ul Mestrs. Eaton, Davis of West Virginia, and Windom, were constituted i Senate conferees. After an Ineffectual effort by Mr. Coke to get up the bill to provide for the allotment of lands In severalty to the Indians on the several reservations, the Senate, at 4:50 o’clock, adjourned. HOUSE PROCEEDINGS. Iu the llou6e, Mr. Kelfer, of Ohio, from the Committee on Elections, sub mitted tbe unanimous report of that com mittee declaring that H. Bisbee, Jr., Is and N. A. Hull is not entitled to his seat as Representative from the Second Congressional district of Florida. The report was laid on the table, and Mr. Keifer gave notice that he would call it up for action at an early day. Mr. Sparks, of Illinois, Chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs, reported back adversely the bill to place U. 8. Grant, late General of the army and ex President of the United States, on the retired list of the army. Mr. McCook, of New York, sub mitted a minority report, which, together with the bill, was referred to the committee of the whole on the private calendar. Mr. Atkins, Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, reported the naval ap -1 propriatlon bill, which was ordered printed and recommitted. Mr. Atkins gave notice that he would call up the bill, which appro prla%s $14,461,000, for action to-morrow morning, j On motion of Mr. Singleton, of Mississip pi, the Senate amendments to the consular and diplomatic appropriation bill were con curred in with one exception. The House then, at 1:30 p. m., went into committee ot the whole (Mr. Covert, of New York, in the chair,) upon the pending bill, debate on the pending section and the amendment thereto being limited to one hour, ten minutes’ debate to be allowed thereafter upon every substantive amend ment offered. The pending amendment was that offered on Saturday last by Mr. Carlisle, of Kentucky, as a substitute for the fifth section of the bill. Mr. F. Wood, of New York, said be de sired to remove an erroneous Impression which prevailed with reference to the possi bility of negotiating a 3 per cent, bond at j par. If he had had any doubt on this sub ject, he now held in his hand an authority which would have removed that doubt. The Financial and Commercial Chronicle had for many years been published In New Yoik, was referred to constantly to set tle disputed financial questions. In its issue of Saturday last there had been published an article which he would ask the Cleik to read. The article states there Is a very good prospect for the successful negotia tion of a 3 per cent, bond, but criticises the sectiou of the pending bill which requires national banks to take such a bond as security for their circula tion. It further states that Wall street Is disposed to look favorably on the bill and discount its passage. Mr. Wood also re ferred to the London AvonomiM as authority for the statement that three per cent, bonds could be floated, and gave it as his opinion that the bonds would command within three months a small premium. After discussion, Mr. Carlisle’s amend ment In the nature of a substitute for the fifth section of the bill was agreed to—l2B to 101. Mr. Whittborne, of Tennessee, moved to strike out of the amendment just adopted the proviro that no bond upon which inter est has ceased shall be accepted or shall be continued on deposit as security for circula tion, etc. Rejected. Mr. Hawley,of Connecticut.movcd to strike out tbe proviso re-enacting sections 5159 and 5160 of the Revised Statutes. Rejected. Beveral other amendments were offered and rejected and ruled out on points of order, after which the reading of the bill was completed. Mr. Bland offered a substitute for the whole, authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to reserve for redemption purposes coin In the Treasury equal to 25 per cent, of all legal tender notes outstanding, and a j sufficient sum of coin to redeem silver cer- j tificatesaad to apply the residue in redemp tion of the public debt. The Republicans at first showed a dis position to refrain from voting, but finally other counsels prevailed and thev voted against the substitute, which was rejected —43 to 106. After further debate the comtni tee rose and reported the bill to the House, when i Mr. F. Wood demanded the previous ques tion, which was seconded, and the main 1 question ordered on the bill and amend ments. Feuding farther action the House at 5:20 j adjourned. The previous question having i been seconded, the bill will come up to morrow as unfinished bubiness. THE PANAMA CANAL AND THE MONROE DOC- j TRINE. The House Committee on Foreign Affairs, having before it the consideration of Mr. Crapo’s resolution reaffirming the Monroe 1 doctrine, gave a hearing this morning to Mr. H. Webb, of New York, and Mr. Thompson, late Secretary of the Navy. Mr. Webb was very decided in his opin ions that the political and commercial in terests of tbe country would be adversely affected by the construction of the Panama canal, and that, therefore, the Monroe doc- j trine should be reasserted to prevent that work. He also expressed the opinion i that the Nicaragua route was the natural route for the canal, and that the canal could be constructed within four years and at a coet of $50,000,000. Mr. Thompson restated, only with more fervor, the argument which be made yester day before the Committee on the Inter oceanic Canal. GEN. ORD ON THE RETIRED LIST. General Johnston was instructed by the House Committee on Military Affairs to day to ask the consent of the House to take from the Speaker’s table the Senate bill to place Gen. E O. C. Ord on the retired list, with the rank and pay of Major General, and put the same upon its passage. VIRGINIA POLITICS. Reply of Senator Johnston to Gen eral Mahons—A Temperate but Complete Refutation of Readjoster Arguments. Washington, January 18.—Senator John son, of Virginia, has prepared an address, which was made public to-day, In reply to the recently published interview with Gen eral Mahone and the late address of tbe State Committee of Readjusters. lie opens by saying that while the address and Inter view do not seem to have produced the effect hoped for, he nevertheless invites a reply and proceeds to put in an answer in behalf of “My State and people,” brief and temperate. After giving a sketch of events dating back to the time of the formation of what is known as the Alexan dria Constitution and up to the adoption by the people of Virginia, 1869, of the constitution now in fores, the Ss na tor proceeds to consider at great length the difficult financial problem, or the settle ment of the State debt, which grew out of the division of the State of Virginia, and the burdens resnlting from the war. He discusses the merits of tbe McCulloch re funding bill, and elaborately takes issue alike with the statutes and conclusions of the Readjuster party, set forth in the ad dress and interview referred to. After showing what he claims to bean error of over half a million of dollars of revenue of the State, he Eays: “The state ments of the Interview are faulty and wrong in regard to the expenses of the government, and the amount necessary to pay the in terest on the McCulloch bill, as they are In relation to the revenue.” He proceeds to combat the correctness of these statements in detail and continues: “If the claims and assertions of the Re adjusters should appear, as I insist they do, unsound and incorrect as to tbe matters of debt and revenues and expenditures of the State, are they more reliable in other respects? Thev claim to be the sole and exclusive guardians of the common school system, and that the Bourbons or Funders, if not its enemies,are at least not its friends, and have let it languish and be neglected. Their peculiar and excessive zeal is of a very recent birth. They had nothing to do with establishing the system or putting it into operation.” He further attacks this claim by asserting that the Legislature of 1869, when It met, addressed itself at onco to putting the present school system into'operation, and sajs “As far as I can recall now, not one man who is now prominent as a readjuster was a member of either convention or the first Legislature. That is not all. The State of Virginia, having received from Congress land icrip for the establishment of colleges had to decide how to use the fund. There was not one disputing voice as to the distribu tion of one-third the amount. The colored people had a college at Hampton, to which the whites were not admitted, aud one-third of the money wag given to that college by universal consent. As to the boast made so loudly that the Readjusters were put Into office a year ago, aud the affairs of the State have been bettt r adminis tered than formerly, It must be borne in mind that under the McCulloch bill the amount of $8,049,440 70 was funded in new bonds at 3 per cent., which before that time bore 6 per cent thus reducing the interett to one-half, and effecting an annual saving to the State of more than $240,000, of whicb two thirds wou’d be in tax receivab’e coupons. Of the sum funded $105,134 90 were purchased for the sinking fund and have since been cancelled, so that whereas before the passage of the McCulloch bill the State had to pay six per cent, on $8,049,- 449 70, It now pays three per cent, on $7,944,314 60, and It Is the saving thus ef fected and the saving by the retrenchment acts of the so called Bourbon Legislature of 1877-’7B that has made money more abundant In the Treasury, andjnot any skill ful or wise management of the officers.” The Senator refers to the apprehensions of General Mahone, that after the end of the first ten years, when McCulloch would commence drawing 4 per cent, interest and the people could not pay, and says they seem wholly groundless. He says the in crease of Interest would be only 1 per cent., whereas the population would probable grow 20 per cent., and the property and general wealth a great deal more, and the sinking fund would each year diminish the principal of the debt. The concluding portion of the address Is devoted to an array of statistics intended to show the growth and extension of agricul ture and manufactures and the flourishing condition of the people in different sections of the State.

Burning Oil .Scattered In Every Direction—The Flreiueu Unable to Cope With tbe Devouring Element —Destruction to Property by the Concussion —Origin of tbe Fire Unknown. Philadelphia, January 18. —About half past 2 o’clock this morning one of the tanks at the Atlantic Oil Refinery at Point Breeze exploded with terrific force, and the burning oil was scattered in every direction. The concussion broke windows a mile distant, and tbe flames spread rapidly, not only to the adjoining tanks, but to the wharf and shipping. The four tanks soon took fire, and a uumber of vessels which are aground in the Schuylkill were quickly ablaze. A dispatch received from the immediate vicinity at 9:15 a. m. says the entire place is on fire. Philadelphia, January 18,11 a.m.— The re port that the shipping is on fire seems to have been premature, for It is now stated that all the vessels were Intact at 9a. m. There are two loaded vessels in the stream, however, opposite the works, which are burning, viz: The Competitor, with filled cases, and the Maryland, with filled barrels. One of the city ice boats has gone to their assistance. The wharves are all in flames, and the employes have been compelled to leave the offices. The fire originated in an agitator. The ex plosion was heard and felt at the extreme northern points in this city, aud as far down the river as Chester. The last great fire at the works occurred In June. 1878. Philadelphia, January 18, 11:15 a. sl ab the shedding along the wharves are now on tire, and the destruction of the whole works greatly depends ou the force and direction of tne wind. Philadelphia, January 18,12 m.— The fire is now under control, as the vessels were removed from danger. The flames were confined chiefly to the warehouse and wharves. There were stored in the warehouse 11,000 cases of oil. The Standard Oil Com pany insures its own property from its re serve fund. The scene of to-day’6 fire is the same as that on which the disastrous fire of 1879 occurred, when all the buildings, with a great quantity of oil and five ships in the river, were destroyed, entailing a loss of nearly half a million of dollars. Tbe establishment Is owned l>y the Standard Oil Company, and is managed and operated by the Atlantic Refining Company. Before this morning several acres of ground were covered with substantial structures, mostly of brick, those of tbe old buildings which were left by the previous fire having been torn down to make way for others of a more commodious character. On the grounds there are upward of one hundred tanks with a capacity of 1,500,000 barrels, although there were not more than 400,000 barrels on tbe premises this morn ing, the greater part of which was stored in the tanks far back from where tbe fire originated. Just before the explosion men were at work pouring oil into it from a still near by. The origin of the fire is unknown, but it is thought that in filling the tank of the still the oil in some manner became heated, and, coming In contact with gas in the tank, caused an explosion. It exploded with a terrific report, throwing the burning oil in all directions, and Igniting everything inflammable with which it came in contact. The concussion smashed all the glass in the vicinity, and was heard several miles away, and down the river as far as Chester. The entire glass roof of one of the bleacherics was shattered, office windows were smashed in, and a large brick house, just bslow the works, were much shaken and all the window sashes were broken. Four people were iu the house at the time, every one of whom was thrown from bed, and one, Miss Lizzie Brooks, hap her hip fractured by a fall. Despite the efforts of the firemen a great volume of oil flowed rapidly over the ground. About 5 o’clock the|flre reached an other of the large tanks and again there was a fierce explosion, which practically undid all the previous effective efforts of the firemen. The burning liquid then poured through the pipes and trenches beneath the surface of the ground eonnectisg the tanks with the great warehouse on the river front, and the flames burst out with full force from the south end of the building. The ware house was quite new, having been built since the last conflagration, aud wa3 six hundred feet long, fronting directly on the river, and was about fifty feet deep. The burning oil next commuuicated to the store house belonging to the Atlantic Petroleum Storage Company, aud It was completely destroyed. A SORTIE BY THE TURCOMANS. General Skobeloff’s Account of tbe Late Engagement—Tbe Russians Victorious After Ifeavv Loss—Rus sian Trenches Full of' Dead Tur comans. St. Petersburg, January 18. —General Skobeloff telegraphs on the 11th instant an nouncing that on the 4th, at 6 o’clock in the evening, 30,000 Tekke Turcomans made a sudden sortie from Geo k-Tepe and as saulted the Russian trenches, which were manned by nineteen companies of infantry and one hundred Cossacks acting as in fantry, with three siege guns and twenty one lighter guns. In spite of the he roic defense by these troops the Turco mans carried the Russian outworks and also part of the second parallel, capturing four mounted guns and three siege guns. The Russians then open ed an artillery fire, and the reserve simulta neously attacked the enemy, who were dis lodged from all the points they had cap tured. All Jthe artillery was retaken with the exception of one mounted gun, which had been carried off during ft£e early part of the engagement. The Kdwfeian loss was heavy. One company of the Apshe rom Regiment alone had thirty two men killed, Including the Major and Captain, and ten wounded and one officer taken prisoner. The Turcoman loss was much greater. Their dead filled the Russian trenches. Simultaneously with this attack a consider able body of Turcoman cavalry made a sortie on the Russian cavalry, which was successfully repulsed. After the Turcomans had been repulsed, orders were given for laying a third parallel. As soon as the Turcomans saw the work commenced they renewed the attack with their entire strength upon the whole Russian front, but were compelled to retire into the fortress by the artillery, at close range, from the Ru-slau second parallel. The laying of the third parallel was completed on the 10th inst., and on the same day tbe fortress and strongly fortified out works were bombarded. At three o’clock In the afternoon the Russian column made an assault, and after a severe struggle captured the outworks. The bombardment by siege artillery was still proceeding on the 11th instant. The total of the Russian losses in the actions of the 9th and 10th was 9 offi cers and 82 men killed, and 8 officers and 102 men and 8 members of the medical staff wounded. The behavior of the troops was admirable. THE NEW JERSEY LEGISLATURE. Inauguration of Governor George C. Ludlow In Trenton A Large Crowd of Spectators. Trenton, N.

Ha said the public are to be congratulated, not so much on the fact that he has never apologized for being a stal wart, as upon the fact that his life has been one of exceptional purity, and his public career absolutely without spot or blemish.

London, January 18.—The fourteen mem bers who voted in the minority on Taylor’s motion In the House of Commons last night for an adjournment of the debate on the Irish question wera all Home Rulers. A special meeting of the Home Rale Parliamentary Committee will be held to day, for the purpose of considering Mr. i Shaw’s secession from the party. The first meeting ia connection with the movement In England against coercion, for the organization of which a committee of Home Rulers has been formed, will probably be held In Birmingham on Saturday next, when Mr. Parnell will attend. In last night’s debate in the House of Commons, the Marquis of Harrington warned the obstructionists that the Minis try would be unable to calm the feelings of inflation which have arisen in the House and in the country. In the House of Commons last night Right Hon. Hugh C. Childers, Secretary of War, replying to a question in regard to the recent explosion at Salford, said the gov ernment were well awate of the circum stances ia which they were placed and were taking all due precaution. The London correspondent of the Edin burgh Scotsman says the government are fully aware of the existing danger and con spiracies among Irishmen in several large towns of England. i The distress in county Clare, Ireland, Is worse now than it was last year.

The Stale Fair—Pine Exhibition xpected Good Rarea During the Day and Theatrical. at Night—The Country Should and Can Help the Exhibition—Send for DavU, the Shootlat—Rush of Guest* —Scene* at the Post Office—Axe Grinder*—Weather for 1880-Varl oue Scrap*. •Jacksonville, January 17.—The managers and officers of the State Fair are working tike beavers to make the exhibition a success. Many letters have been received, relating to the display of machinery, etc., from abroad. Later accounts from the up-river counties, that the damage done by the frost was much less than was expected, furnish good ground for the nope that there will be a creditable assortment of early vegetables. Several crates of tomatoes from that section have lately been forwarded to Northern markets. Most of the horses that were at the fair in i Tallahassee wiil be shipped to Ja ksonville, I and among the number are some "peart movers.” Another ‘card" would ce the ap pearance of Mr. C. P. Davis, of lamonia, Leon county. Some of our citizens who were at the capitol last weak talk of his practice with the ride as being startling. A man who can hit j half dollars, nickels and flve-cent pieces tossed into the air, with a single ball, can’t be beat i easily. Many of us would rather witness such shoot ng than look at a horse race. Bring them down. Messrs. Managers, for all of us are anxious to see what Davis can do, as compared with Carver and other great riflemen. Strangers and citizens alike would be glad to see the fine inarkmanship of one of our Florida boys. He will draw big crowds and add to your receipts. Everybody who can should come to Jack sonville next week, and everybody should do his or her best to contribute something to render the fair interesting. In addition to the attractions at the grounds, there will be amusements at night. There will be one or more theatrical companies on liand, and some of our amateurs wiil take advantage of the occasion to display their proficiency. There j will be no dearth of amusements of various descriptions. To-morrow night the Catholic Fair will open at Metropolitan Hall. The ladies connected with this church always achieve a success, for they not only work with a will, but they accu mulate a large quantity of useful and orna mental articles. The good "Sisters" are fa mous for their fine embroideries, delicate laces, and choice needle-work. Neatly all of the different denominations in the city, make it convenient to hold a fair dur ing the winter, when the place is full of stran gers. Our guests attend in numbers, and eon i tribute liberally to these good purposes, j The opening hop of the Yacht Club came off last b l iday night. 1 his is always au event for the belles and beaux of the city, and the occa sion is one always enjoyed to the utmost. They i should be more frequent. The annual rush of visitors has commenced, and the various hostel rles will soon be crowded to suffocation. For the next two months the tide will run strongly in this Direction, and all engaged in the business of transporting and earing for strangers will be fully occupied. The hotels, like the busses, are very elastic, however, and can always manage somehow to provide for an additional ar ival. There is a perceptibly increased demand for fertilizers, and the trade in these articles is growing rapidly. No soil responds more readily than that of Florida to the employ meat of stimulants, and the outlay ously met by the enlarged receipts. Our poverty in some articles, very abundant j elsewhere, is shown in the arrival of two vessels, with cargoes of rock, to be used for i sinkieg the mattresses for the jetties on the bar improvement. Every effort was made to I obtain suitable materials for this purpose here, i but none could be obtained. Over five thousand letters and six hundred pounds of printed matter were received and distributed at this office last Sunday. This little fact will give our country friends 6onte idea of the business done here at this season Soon after the arrival of the mail, the line of anxious expectants begins to form, and lengthens until I it stretches out of the building way out on the sidewalk. Many colored folks take their places in the line daily with undiminished regularity, although they never did, and never will, receive a letter. It gives them momenta ry consequence, however, for strangers to fancy that they do have correspondents. Post master Jay, although a Republican, has made an excellent officer, and should be retained by the incoming administration Quite a number of our citizens availed them j selves of the cheap rates to the Tallahassee i fair, only five dollars for the round trip, and went up to the capital. Of course these gen -1 tlemen oniy wanted to visit the fair, ana of course none had dull axes to be sharpened, i Some came back with smiling faces, some with elongated visages, and some wore a doubtful expression Of course, also, it was only polite to see Governor Bloxham and extend con gratulations. That was simply polite and proper. Some will necessarily have to remain hungry, for there are not slices enough to fill all the empty stomachs. The United Btates Court is again under way. It is rumored that forty indictments, princi pally for violations of the election laws, have been already found by the grand jury. That finger of Bisbee Is visible, for the more indict ments the more bis chances in a contest for a seat in Congress are strengthened. It is to be hoped that the Senate will again fling J. B. Stickney higher than a kite as United States Attorney. He is too much of a partisan for the position, and quite objectionable on other accounts. He has one merit—he clings to the i hope of a confirmation as closely as tar to a j sheep’s tail. In consequence of the late bad weather and the numerous fogs that have prevailed, im peding the navigation of our river, it is pro posed to solicit the aid of the government in j placing lights at various points. The trade on the St. John’s is now so large, and expanding so rapidly, that every safeguard should be 1 thrown around the shipping plying upon Us waters. New steamers are constantly being added to the fleet already employed on the river. According to the reports of the United States Signal Office in this city, the mean teinpera ture for the year 1830 was 70:40 degrees. The warmest day occurred In June, when the tern perature rose to 100:5, and the coldest in De cember, when it fell to 19. There were 157 days during the year when rain fell, and the total rainfall reached (55 51 inches, a very unusual amount. Sergeant J. W. Smith, In charge, is a most accurate, industrious and painstaking officer, and gives entire satisfaction.

The sons of Albion have organized a St. George Society. Quite a number of the John Bulls have settled among us. and they are able ito get up an excellent association. A St. Patrick’s Society Is now in order. Although the work on our new railroads has I been much retarded by the late bed weather, it continues to progress as rapidly as could be expected. Contracts have been made for the construction of a bridge across the Nassau river, on the Jacksonville and Fernandina Railroad, and the State convicts, one huedred and twenty-five in number, will 30on be em ployed on the Waycross connection. The cars andiron for the street railroad are on the way, and will be put in position as soon as landed. Jacksonville is fast becoming a railroad centre, and it won’t be many years before the capital will be removed to this metropolis. Our mails continue to arrive wi h provoking irregularity. Once in a while they get in on schedule time, but these occasions are exceptions. The United States Supreme Court has as yet pro nounced no decision in this long and tedious litiga'ion. The result from that tribunal is awaited with much solicitude and interest. When the Waycross Road is finished, we shall be ail right so far as our Northern and West i ern mails are concerned. The Cabinet appointments of Governor Blox ham give satisfaction. It has been generally believed that our young fellow townsman, Mr. H. A. L'Engle, would be made State Treasurer, and it is hoped that Madam Humor will be correct iu ths rumor. He would cer tainly make a competent and efficient official. Work has been commenced on the Palatka end of the Palatka, Gainesville and Charlotte Harbor Railroad, and a contract for twenty miles of grading lias been taken by General Varnura, of Gainesville. It really looks now as if this impoitant enterprise would be pushed through. Hur-ah for the railroads: The new cemetery will soon be laid out, and the lots offered for sale. The railroad to l<Vr naudinawi'l pass through the grounds and a station is to be established at that point. We heir that the sitting members in lb- Legislature from this county will be likely to retain their seats. If Billy Lucas should be turned out, he would upset the whole State Government.

In the House of Representatives yester day Mr. Keifer, of Ohio, from the Commit tee on Elections, submitted the unanimous report of that committee declaring 11. Bisbee. Jr., entitled to a seat from the Second Congressional district of Florida. A majority report adverse to placing U. 8. Grant on the retired list of the army and a minority report favoring such a measure were presented by the Committee on Mili tary Affairs. Both were referred to the committee of the whole. After some other and unimportant business, the House then went into committee of the whole on the funding bill, and, after considerable discus sion, the reading of the bill was completed, and the committee rose. Mr. F. Wood demanded the previous ques tion, which was ordered, and the bill will come up to-day as unfinish ed business. In the Senate the completed census returns of 1380 were received, as was also a communication from the Secretary of the Interior regarding the alleged census frauds in the State of South Carolina. Both were referred to the Census Committee. The morning hour expired without any business of Importance being transacted, and the Ben Holliday bill came up as regu lar business, and was passed. A conference committee on the consular and diplomatic bill was ordered, and soon after the Senate adjourned. Yesterday General Joseph R. Hawley was elected United States Senator from Con necticut, Eugene Hale from Maine, and H. P. Baldwin to fill the unexpired term of Z*ch Chandler, and O. D. Conger for the full term, from Michigan. Hon. Thomas F. Bayard was also elected fiom Delaware. Votes were taken, without result, in the Legislatures of New York, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Indiana and West Virginia. Hod. Geo. C. Ludlow was inaugurated Governor of New Jersey yesterday at 12 o’clock. His inaugural address occupied about forty minutes. About 2:3oyesterday morning one of the tanks at the Atlantic Oil Refinery, at Point Breeze, Pennsylvania, exploded with ter rific force, an l the burning oil was scattered in every direction. A number of vessels on the Schuylkill were aground, and two of them were burned. The flames were finally gotten under control, and was confined chiefly to the warehouses and wharves. The House Committee on Foreign Affairs yesterday heard Mr. B. Webb, of New York, in opposition to and Mr. Thompson, late Secretary of the Navy, in favor of the Panama canal scheme. Mr. Webb con tended that the Monroe doctrine should be asserted to prevent the work. Mr. Thomp son restated, with additional fervor, his argument of Monday before the committee. Joseph Dtroche, who shot and killed Thomas A. Trelvar, a few days ago, on ac count of a difficulty concerning Trelvar’6 wife, was captured near Brodie’s, Califor nia, Sunday and, having confessed his guilt, was hanged. The safe of Minor’s bank, Fredericksburg, Virginia, was opened on Monday and two thousand dollars of bonds, eight ounces of gold dust and a lot of negotiable notes were taken. Minor has absconded, and no Intelligence of his whereabouts has been received. Senator Johnston, of Virginia, has pre pared an address, which was made public yesterday, in reply to a recently published interview with General Mahone. It is a thorough, temperate and exhaustive refu tation of the arguments and position of the Readjuster, or repudiation, party of that State. Marshal Fitxsimons was in Washington yesterday and had a very satisfactory inter view with Mr. Hayes. He has been assured by Messrs. Brown, Hill and Stephens that they are as strongly in his support as ever. Colonel Fitzsimons has no doubt the whole matter will be settled in his favor. The New York stock market opened strong yesterday and advanced from to per cent, in the general list, and 3 per cent, for American Union. Subsequently a reaction set in, but towards noon -pecula tion again became strong. During the af ternoon the market became buoyant, and the highest prices of the day were reached. Transactions aggregated 521,000 shares. At Montreal, Canada, Thursday, a young French Canadian, named Alexan der Narborne, the son of a farmer, was on trial for having four years ago shot his brother. The principal witness against him wa3 his step-mother. The accused went into the witness box and confessed that he had killed his brother, but had done so under the influence and J>y the command of his father, an old man of 85. The scene in the court room during this confession i3 described as painful in its dramatic and terrible inten sity. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty, with a recommendation to mercy _ The father and his wife, eighty years old, were afterwards tried as accessories and convicted. The Judge sentenced all three to be hung. Near the close of every session of Congress an announcement is made in the press to the effect that the existing line of American steamers between New York and Brazil is about to be discou tinued. This announcement invariably precedes an effort to push through Con gress a subsidy scheme in behalf of a line of steamships to Brazil. The heroic efforts of the one line to maintain itself are painted in glowing language, and Congress is warned, by the parties inter ested in the subsidy, that unless some thing is done, British gold will triumph over American enterprise. The regular announcement of the failing efforts of the existing line is out, and the attempt *o crowd the subsidy through Congress may be expected at an early day. Last week a seat in the New York Stock Exchange sold for the immense sum of $30,000. The price of a seat of this kind has been constantly increasing for many years past, but this is the highest sum yet paid. The Exchange now numbers 1,100 members, and is limited to this number. The price of a seat in the London Stock Exchange is only $750. There are no other positions compared to the New York Exchange brokers except the agents de Change of the Paris Bourse. These are limited to sixty in number, and their price for this position has fluctuated from $300,- 000 to $500,000. Chcbch Fairs. —lt is the custom at fairs to have lotteries, and so far as we can see these are innocent enough, but the New York police have taken a dif ferent view of the law of the case, if not of its ethics. In that city the ladies of a fair have been admonished that they can not conduct such enterprises, and there is great dismay among the fair and amia ble venders of tickets for chances in dressing gowns and dolls. The National Association of Veterans of the Mexican War will hold its annual meeting in Louisville, Ky., on February 22d. During its sessions the association will be an object of the hospitality and courtesy of the veterans of the city and State. The latter will extend to their old comrade* a genuine old Kentucky welcome, such as will maintain the credit gt the commonwealth. The Colored rilfrimage to Xeator. The telegraph has already informed our readers of th 9 recent visit of several colored politicians from the South to President elect Garfield at Mentor, Ohio, and how they poured into his ears the old stale and so often refuted com plaints (concocted and taught them by their white Radical allies of the North) of the terrible manner in which their race is bulldozed, imposed on and generally oppressed by the malignant “minority” in the South. It seems, however, that these self appointed col ored leaders received but cold comfort from Mr. Garfield. He told them, in very plain language, that it was folly for them to aspire to the control of the Southern white population, or even to compete with them for power, until they had qualified them selves by culture and intelligence. “The education of your race," he says, “lies at the base of the final solu tion of your great question, and that cannot be altogether in the hands of State or National' Government The government ought to do all it properly can, but the native hungering and thirst ing for knowledge, that the Creator planted in every child, must be cultivated by the parents of these children to the last possible degree of its ability, so that the hands of the people shall reach out and grasp in the darkness the hands of the government extended to help, and by that union of effort the two will bring what mere legislation alone cannot im mediately bring. I reloice that you have expressed so strongly and earnestly your views in regard to the necessity of your education. I have felt for years that that was the final solution.” Evidently this colored delegation felt that Mr. Garfield's remarks to them, as quoted above, were good enough as far as they went, but that they were far from satifying. So one “Mister” Elliott, then introduced one “Bishop” Hurd as the bearer of an address from the Board of Missions of the African M. E. Zion Church, which conveyed to Mr. Garfield the congratulations of the church on his election, expressed confidence in his in tention to do whatever he could to redress the wrongs of the colored race, and promised him the continued prayers of the church for his successful admin istration of the government To this the President elect responded very brief ly, simply thanking the Bishops for their kind expressions and suggestions, and dismissed his visitors rather sum marily with the remark, “After what I have already said, no further responses will be necessary.” The only inference to be drawn from this entire proceeding is, that Mr. Gar field and the whole North are growing weary of these constant setting forth of imaginary grievances by certain colored men of the South, who seem to think that they are literally the “wards of the nation, “and that it is the duty of the government not only to feed, clothe and educate them, but to maintain them in power aDd position, at the point of the bayonet if necessary. The country, too, is beginning at last to understand that these oft reiterated complaints do not proceed from the masses of tho-ol ored people of the South or even from their representatives, but that they ema nate from a certain clique of negroes, who, having received a smattering of education, take upon themselves to be leaders of their race, in the hope that they may be able to monopolize the fat Federal offices in the patronage of the administration. The sentiment is evidently gaining ground that the Gen eral Government,having freed and made a full fledged American citizen of the negro, has done its full duty by him, and is now disposed to ensure him as far as possible fair opportunities with other citizens, but at the same time to teach him that be must henceforward do as other citizens have to do—rely on himself. Mr. Garfield's advice to these Mentor pilgrims was certainly good, and they will be wise if they profit thereby. They ought to know that it is simply a matter of impossibility for them to become either the social equals or political superiors of the whites. The experience of recon struction proved this conclusively. Then they were upheld in place by the strength of the Federal army, while the Federal Legislature seemed never to weary of en deavoring by law to force social equality of the races, Yet all failed, and if the General Government could not elevate them at that time, when the South was all chaos and confusion, and when the bulk of the Southern whites were dis franchised and bowed to the earth with defeat and poverty, it is folly to presume that either force or law can do so in the future. The best course, therefore, for the Mentor pilgrims, and all others of the aspiring blacks, to pursue is to do as General Garfield said—educate them selves; endeavor by culture and refine ment to make themselves worthy of position, and not be continually whining so absurdly for the General Govern ment to interpose its arm to save them from a powerful and determined “minority.” They may rest assured that the South will be foremost in guaranteeing them their political rights, and if there is any virtue or merit in them, they will have ample opportunity for its display and to secure its recogni tion. Let them give up their insane de sire for social equality and their mania for office-seeking, and become good citi zens. This course alone will ensure them prosperity, and command respect. Ex-Confederate Generals are many of them achieving fame and fortune in rosier paths than of old. Major General Marm&duke is a Missouri railway commissioner, and, as a bachelor, lives comfortably in SL Louis on a salary of $5,000 a year. General J. B. Gordon, as counsel for the Louisville and Nashville Road gets a sal ary of $14,000. Major General F. B. Cheatham has a handsome farm in Ten nessee. General Toombs practices law, and is very rich. General Basil Duke is a lawyer in Louisville, and has a good income. General Bradley Johnston is also getting rich in the same profession in Baltimore. All the sons of Robert E. Lee, except one, are moderately suc cessful farmers in Virginia. The ex ception, Custis Lee, succeeded his father as President of Washington-Lee Univer sity. Gereral Jubal Early is living quietly at Lynchburg in comfortable circumstances. General J. C. Pember ton has become a resident of Philadel phia, is an invalid, and has written a book on Vicksburg. A Cry from the WOdCDKD. —There is great lamentation in Wall street, New York, over losses on Western Union Telegraph stock. Mr. Vanderbilt is charged with having advised his friends to sell the shares, while he had reason to know that they were likely to advance tbrough the early completion of arrange ments for amalgamating the competing telegraph companies, thereby involving his friends in losses which, it is said, in the case of some of them amount to $600,006. ditto mixed, Vw rvirt *I2TMkI Compulsory Education in Indiana. A bill has been introduced into tbe In diana Legislature providing for compul sory education, and specifying that an emergency exists which requires its im mediate passage and enforcement. All children between the ages of six and sixteen who are physically able to attend school, and who do not attend a private school, are required to go to the public schools, and the parents or guardians will be fined not less than $2 or more than $5 for each child not attending school, and the same fine will be col lected for each day that each child is ab sent Upon the School Trustees de volves the duty of prosecuting parents and guardians. The bill provides for a uniform common school system. The following provision (section 6) is a very excellent one: “The common schools of Indiana shall be taught in the English language, and in them shall be taught only the following branches, to wit: Ortho graphy, reading, writing, mathematics (not beyond algebra), geography, Eaglish grammar and the history of the United States; provided that cities aDd towns incorporated under the laws for the in corporation of cities and towns may have graded schools, in which additional and higher branches may be taught, as now provided by law, except that in every such system, the common school, as defined iu this act, shall be the primary department, out of which no pupil shall be for any cause whatever graded, transferred or advanced to any other or higher grade, until such pupil can answer in writing correctly ninety per cent of the questions embraced in a fair examination in all the branches taught m the primary or common school department, of which proficiency such pupil shall have a certificate signed by his or her teacher and indorsed by the trustee or trustees of the township, town or city, as the case may be.” The machine wing of the Republican party in New York has scored another victory in the caucus nomination of Mr. Piatt for United States Senator. As the anti-machine Republicans participated in the caucus they probably submit to the will of the majority and acquiesce in the result. No doubt there will be some complainings on the part of the most ex treme anti-ConkliDg Republicans, but these protests will be too feeble to have any effect. In Pennsylvania the machine element captured the Republican caucus and nominated its candidate for Senator, but there is a revolt which may give the managers trouble. A number of Repub lican members of the Legislature, suffi cient to hold the balance of power and prevent the election of an objectionable candidate, pledged themselves to stand together in opposition to the caucus nominee. They protest against the rule of the bosses and the means employed by the latter to control the caucus. It is quite likely, however, that the bosses will persuade enough of tbe recalcitrant members “for the good of the party” to come over to the support of the nominee and elect him. Tee Electric Light.— A New York letter of Friday says: ‘This morniDg several prominent banker’ and brokers’ offices were illuminated with the electric light, and everybody expressed himself delighted with the change as a great saving not only of money but of eyesight also. The morning being dark and foggy, the time for making the experi ment was opportune. Now that these firms have made a beginning, it is be lieved that the light will be the rule, and not the exception, in all that part of the city before long. ‘Nobody that uses it,’ said Mr. Flint, President of the compa ny, ‘will ever return to gas,’ and he is probably correct. Wall street is full of badly lighted rooms, and now that it has a chance to do better, it will doubtless be eagerly improved. The gas compa nies, it is unnecessary to remark, are disgusted with the growing popularity of the new light, but, unfortunately, it is not ascertained that they have yet con cluded to meet the competition with lower prices to their customers, though it is probable they will come to that by and by.” In Chicago last Friday night, the audience at McVicker’s Theatre was treated to a fainting scene by Sarah Bern hardt not down in the lines of Phedre, which she was playing. In the last scene of the fourth act, where Phedre expresses a longing to be left to “de plore fate,” Mile. Bernhardt dropped in a dead faint on one of the couches. The audience generally was not aware any thing wrong had happened until the proprieties of the scene were disturbed by the appearance among the assembled Greeks of several stage hands and “supers” in their shirt sleeves, headed by the stage manager, who bore Bern hardt behind the wings. The curtain then descended on a rather picturesque mingling of ancient and modern cos tumes. The orchestra had to play double time before Mile. Bernhardt was sufficiently recovered to drag wearily through the last act. The decision of Judge Osborne, of Cat skill, N. Y. f in the Thornton case, puts anew face on the meaning of the word “bribery.” One Thornton, of Sullivan county, ran as a candidate for County Judge on the Greenback ticket, and on the platform stated that the Balary of the office for which he was “running” was too high, agreeing, if he were elected, to turn half of it back into the County Treasury. He was elected and did as he promised. His opponent brought suit for the office, claiming that Thornton’s offer was “bribery” of the electors. Judge Osborne, before whom the came, has just decided that he is right. He re fused, however, to give the other claim ant the office and declares it vacant in stead. It is said that Gov. Cornell will at once order anew election to fill the vacancy. Twenty-nine women graduated on Tuesday evening in New York at the eighth annual meeting of the Training School for Nurses. The pupils, sixty three in number, were present Since the opening of the school one hundred and twenty nurses have graduated, and the demand from private families Is greater than can be supplied. The City Council of Danville, Ya., adopted the usual resolutions of respect and condolence upon the death of a brother member who was a colored man, and, in accordance with the custom, at tended the funeral in a body. In Bhort, the dead colored Councilman was treated precisely as if he had been white. It is proposed in England to reduce the rate for telegraphic messages from 25 cents to 12 cents for twenty words, in cluding addresses. Experience has de monstrated that prudent reduction of rates has so increased the business of the wires as to more than make up for any apprehended loss of revenue. Kentucky begins to loom up as a rival of Ohio in furnishing sons" to fill the offices. The Governors of Illinois, Mis souri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Nevada and Utah are all natives of Kentucky, and the press of the latter State announce that the supply is still equal to the de mand. Mr. Garfield’s Lecture to the Colored People. Ifew Orlean* Picayune. It strikes us that the colored delega tion which visited General Garfield the other day accomplished about as much as was achieved by the celebrated move ment of that French army which march ed up a hill and then marched down again. The delegation traveled from Cleveland to Mentor and then back from Mentor to Cleveland, without having se cured a single pledge, promise or com mitment of any sort. The truth is, it is as a general thing, a much wiser plan to visit a politician before rather than after his election, if it is your mission to se cure a pledge. General Garfield might have been, perhaps, induced to say, dur ing the canvass, that should he be elect ed he would see to it that the colored ele ment in the population of the Union should be proportionately represented in the public offices of the General Govern ment. But after the election he was mas ter of the situation, and in point of fact, his visitors were rather snubbed than otherwise. Although the distinguished colored orator, who led off on the occasion to which we have been referring, made rather a rambling address, and went over a great deal of old and irrelevant matter, he got to the point at last, and that point was simply an urgent request that for the future the negroes should have the preference over the white Re publicans in the distribution of Federal patronage in the South. Mr. Garfield understood perfectly well that the dele gation had not visited Mentor merely to regale him with a bloody-shirt oration. Mr. Gai field has heard many speeches from that particular point of view in his time, and if he were disposed there is no man in the country who could be more eloquent in that line than himself. The head of the Republican party must be supposed to be familiar with the bulk of past and current outrage literature, and one can imagine with what diffi culty he suppressed a yawu when Orator Elliott opened out on that jejune and threadbare theme. For all that, he turned the tables on the delegation by accepting their statement of the case and at the same time suggesting remedies which are perfectly practiceable, with out the substitution of black for white appointees to Federal offices in the South. He told them, in effect, that it was not the time for him to indicate any action which he might find it expedient to take in his official capacity as President of the United States. In other words, the visit of the delegation was untimely and intrusive; but he would say that he agreed with Orator Elliott in "regard to the necessity for a general education among the colored people. It was al leged that in many parts of the South majorities were oppressed and defeated by minorities; but if that is so, Mr. Garfield declares it must be because the colored people are untrained—that is, uneducated. “Be cause a trained man is two or three in one in comparison with an untrained man, and outside of politics and outside of parties, that suggestion is full- brim ful of significance; that the way to make a majority always powerful over a mi nority is to make its members as trained and intelligent as the minority itself; that brings equality of citizenship, and no law can confer and maintain in the long run a thing that is not upheld with a reasonable degrees of culture and intelli gence.” Again he assured the delegation that the black people could not expect to be altogether in the hands of either the national or State governments. We fancy that Mr. Garfiield’s little audience must have gone away sadder, if not wiser, than when it came. They came to ask for more political power, and they got nothing but good advice. Nay, more; it seems to us that, so far from promising increased official patron age to the colored race, Mr. Garfield pretty clearly intimated that that race is as yet hardly fit for the possession of the power which it does enjoy. It is an indication of a great advance when a Republican politician declares, in a man ner so public, and on an occasion so con picuous, to a number of representative colored meD, that they must at last abandon the idea of being taken care of; that they must depend upon themselves, and that only intelligence and culture can make them really free. Startling if True.— Tbe New Or leans Democrat says: "Some rabid Ken tuckians have organized a society for the purpose of destroying the Cincinnati Southern Railroad. Such, at least, is the story as a correspondent of the Louisville Commercial writes it. This society, the C. S. R. R. D. C, of Kentucky, was organized in a spirit of revenge on account of the abuse and de nunciation poured on the people of Kentucky by the press and citizens of Cincinnati. The Commercial' corres pondent declares that the society is un willing to injure innocent persons, but is determined to destroy the whole road, and will begin on the bridges. In pur suance of this policy the High bridge over the Kentucky river will be burned at once as a warning to all persons not to travel on the Cincinnati Southern Road.” To Prevent Food Adulteration.— In pursuance of the action of the Na tional Board of Trade, taken at its last two annual sessions, a bill has been sub mitted to Congress for passage to pre vent the adulteration of food and drugs. It prohibits the transportation, knowing ly, by any person or corporation,of adul terated food or drugs, or the offer for sale or purchase or barter in any adulter ated articles; also authorizes the Nation al Board of Health to make or have made examinations of sfUcimens of food and drugs collected from different parts of the country; makes it the duty of Dis trict Attorneys to prosecute violators of law, and fixes heavy penalties for such violations. Michigan produced last year 15,750,- 000 bushels of salt, 2,500,000 more than in 1879. The works at Saginaw, Mich., alone produced 13,000,000 bushels. Syracuse, N. Y., made 8,000,000 bushels. The Boston Globe says: ‘The average ad valorem duty on imported salt is about fifty per cent., being eight cents a hundred pounds on salt in bulk and twelve cents on packed. For every dollar's worth of salt imported last year the consumers paid nearly fifty cents into the United States Treasury; but on every dollar’s worth of domestic salt consumed in the country a bonus of fifty cents went into the pockets of the salt monopolists.” £tflars.

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 excel himself, sending off letters and telegrams to his buyers, cautioning 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 33c. These goods are worth not less than 50c. to 75c.. according to sizes. 203 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 10c. 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. 150 dozen TURKEY RED DOYLIES at 3U cents each, or 42 cents per dozen. These goods can not be bought elsewhere for less than isc. 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 TOWELS, 22x40 inches, the very best quality ever seen, at the uni form price of 25 cents each. 250 dozen Linen DAMASK TOWELS at 12J4C-, 15c., 20c. and 25c. They are positively 50 per cent, below the market. 50 dosen Gents’ Real KID GLOVES, in black and colors, of the celebrated Harris’ “Beamless,” at only sl. This Glove is retailed ail 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.

At balf- East two o’clock the bugle sounded and the orses appeared and the first race opened. First heat—A splendid start was effected, Athos and Nero being together, and a beau tiful race ensued. On the back stretch four were In a bunch, Sasser, who was ridden by a jockey who had never ridden him before, being in the rear. There was but little change until the home stretch was reached, when there was a mag nificent burst for the honors, and an exciting race ensued to the 6tring. Nero and Athos being so close that to those on the ground and on the grand stand, as they swept under the string, it looked like a dead heat. On the judges’ stand, however, it was apparent that Athos was the winner by half a neck, and it was so declared. The announcement was Athos wins the heat, Nero second, Georgia Boy third, May Wilson fourth, and Bob Sasser distanced. Time, 1:49. Nero was the favorite, and although beaten in this heat his backers were not dis couraged, and additional bets were made on hla final success. At the expiration of ten minutes the horses were again called to the track and arrangements made for the next heat. Second heat—The horses were all aligned in proper order, and there was every indica tion of a splendid start. At the tap of the drum all started, but Instantaneously Athos was seized with the sulk?, and refused to budge, his rider apparently being ignorant what to do for a moment, when he suddenly let go, but by this time the other horses had nearly reached the first turn, and although Athos made desperate efforts to regain the lost ground he was unsucce 6ful. Nero had secured the lead and maintained it through out, though at one time closely pressed by May Wilson. The run down the home stretch was fine, but it was apparent the victory was with Nero, who cleared the stand about a length ahead, May Wilson second, Georgia Boy third, and Athos dis tanced. Time 1:493^. GENERAL DISAPPOINTMENT was expressed at the result, as this heat ended the race, owing to the unfortunate sulking of Athos. Col. Owens made the’ announcement that according to the rules of the club in mile heats, where a horse winning the first heat was distanced in the second, that the horses that had not won a heat or had made a dead heat were ruled out, and consequently this heat closed the race. It would be neeeisary, however, for Nero to go around the track to complete his second heat. This was done, and tbe declaration was made that King Nero had won the race. SUMMARY.

In the draw for positions, the following was the result: Fair Count Inside, King Dutchman second, Ella Warfield tbiid, Memento fourth, and Vinita fifth. A good send off was obtained, four start ing together, Ella Warfield behind. At the turn the bunch was broken and the horses thrown into a string, with Fair Count first, King Dutchman second, E'la Warfield third, Memento and v inita last. There was little change of position for the first mile, and the time was not fast. After entering the second mile, however, there was a change, and Ella Warfield moved forward to tackle King Dutchman. On the back stretch her increased speed told, and before the three quarter pole had been reached Ella had grappled King Dutch man, and, amidst the cheers of the crowd, shot ahead anil made for Fair Count. Tbe race was virtually between the three named, and Fair Count, maintaining his lead under easy pull, passed under tbe string about a a length and a half ahead, Elia Warfield second, King Dutchman third, Memento fourth, Vinita fifth.

Alum Baklag Powder* la Courts Interesting Testimony ot Scientific Hen. New York Time* Within the past two years, a bitter con troversy has been waged between manufac turers, on account of the use of alum as a cheap substitute for Cream of Tartar, by many manufacturers of baking powders. Tbe handsome profits yielded by using the substitute h&ve induced dealers as well as manufacturers to push them into the hands of consumers, sometimes under definite brands, frequently by weighing out in bulk without any distinguishing name. Are such powders wholesome? The Royal Baking Powder Company, who make a Cream of Tartar baking powder, declared that they are injurious to the public health, while others who make alum powders claim they are not. The whole matter as to the effects of these alum powders has finally been brought Into the courts, and the case was tried in the Superior Court of New York city before Chief Justice Sedgwick, re ported substantially as follows in the New York Son: CONCLUSION OF A LITTLE TROUBLE BETWEEN A CHEMIST AND AN EDITOR. The suit of Dr. Henry A. Mott against Jabez Burns, has brought to light the fact that this country produces at least forty-two different kinds of baking powders. Neither Burns nor Mott has been found guilty of making the baking powders, but Burns, who is the editor of a periodical called the Spice Mi'l, has been severely mulcted for libel in his efforts to make his paper spicy. Dr. Mott, it appears, is a chemist, and at one time was employed by the United States Government to analyze different specimens of baking powder which had been recom mended for adoption to the Indian Bureau. Dr. Mott reported in favor of the cream of tartar baking powders for the Indians, and against the alum baking powders. The chemist analyzed forty-two kinds of baking powders. The jury were out about half an hour. Then they came in with a verdict awarding Dr. Mott SB,OOO, to which the court made an additional allowance of $150.” As the public have a large Interest In the wholesomeness of whatever it is called upon to use as food, the following extracts are introduced from the testimony of some of the prominent men as to the injurious effects of alum powders: Dh. Mott: Q. Were you employed by tbe United States Government? A. I was, elr; was employed as chemist, to analyze all the articles of food, to ex press an opinion as to the analysis of their healtbfuluess and purity. Q. Please tell the jury the Baking Pow ders that you examined while in the em ploy of the Government? A. It would be difficult to remember them all; I could refer to my books; I ex amined twenty-eight powders; was given sixteen at first. Jig t/ie Court: Give your best recollection. Q. Aud one of the powers included was “Dooley’s Baking Powder ti And the “Charm?” A. Yes, sir; the “Charm” and “Patapsco.” Q. Please state in which powders you found alum? A. I found alum in Dooley’s, “Patapsco,” “Charm,” “Vienna,” “Or ent,” “Amazon,” “Lake Side,” “Twin Sisters,” “Superla tive,” “King,” “White Lily,” “Monarch,” “One Spoon,” “Regal,” “Imperial,” “Honest,” “Economical,” “Excelsior,” “Chartres,” “Grant’s,” “Giant,” and the Queen.” Q. Now, these powders mentioned in your communication in the Scientific American— Dooley’s,” Standard,” Patapsco,” “Charm”—Baking Powder manufactured by C. E. Andrews, of Milwaukee, you stated you found burnt alum; if you will please name the respective powder that you have examined—WßS it potash or am monia alum you found A. In the “Patapsco,” “Charm,” and In the Andrews, it was ammonia alum. Q. What is the gas usually furnished by Baking Powders A. The object of Baking Powders is to furnish carbonic acid gas. Q. Will you state to me again what other gas beside carbonic acid gas, is proper to be evolved from a baking powder A. A limited amount of ammonia gas. Q. I notice in your article that you say starch Is proper ingredient to put in a bakiDg powder A. Starch is a proper Ingredient to pre vent the decomposition of baking powders. Q. Recurring to the quest ion that has been asked you upon this suit—the result of these examinations which you have made—is it your opinion that alum iu these various compounds, in Baking Powders such as you have examined, la injurious? A. It is my opinion, based upon actual exDeriments on living animals. Charles F. Chandler, called on behalf of the plaintiff, being duly sworn, testified as follows: Q. Dr. Chandler, you reside in the city of New York? A. I do. Q. Your business is that of a ch.mlst? A. It is. Q You are and have been Professor of Chemistry in several colleges? A. I have. Q. Please state how long that employ ment of yourself has been, aDd with what colleges you are now connected? A. I am at present Professor of Chemistry In the Academic Department of Columbia College; the School of Mines, Columbia College; the New York College of Physi cians and Surgeons, and the New York Col lege of Pharmacy. Q. You are President also of the Board of Health, are you not? A. I am. m the Choicest SteeL by the moet improved processes, with a special purpose to produce beyond question the BEST NEEDLES AND SCISSOKB U THE WORLD, And for many yean approved as suoh by mlk lions of ladies.
