FOLLY'S AWFUL PENALTY THE CANADIAN STEAMBOAT HORROR. How ttie Dreadful Disaster Hap pened—** Let Her Sink, We’ll Only Have to Wade”—Statement of (lie Captain—Seven Hundred Person* on tbe Doomed Craft. London, Ont., May 26. —The number of passengers cm board the Victoria at the time of the disaster i3 now estimated at seven hundred—a burden out of all propor tion lo the strength and capacity of the vessel. Shortly after passing Woodland Cemetery, and when the boat began to rock, the crowd surged from one Side to the other with each oscillation, rather eDjoying the motion instead of being In any way alarmed. Oae of the pas sengers stated that a cumber of youths on the upper deck took delight in keeping up the recking motion by moving from side to side, while others shouted gleefully, “Let her sink, we’ll only have to wade ashore.” It is said by some, though denied by others, that the officers in charge endeavored to induce the passengers to re main quiet, but their efforts were unavail ing. ihe crowd surged from side to side, and with each movement the vessel took lu an increasing amount of water on the lower deck to the terror of some and delight of many more or those below. Few seemed to foresee the danger. Suddenly the position became alarming. When nearly opposite the Cave bridge water to the depth of a foot or more rushed in on the south Fide of the boat, and the crowd surged again to the north, the boat slowly following the movement by listing over to that, side. Thl* time the vessel al most turned on her edge, and the deck fl.ior became elevated to an angle not far from the perpendicular. Ail at once the sup ports of tbe upper deck gave way with a terrible crash ou account of the uunatural position and the great weight imposed over the ratlings. People tum bled In hundreds headlong Into the deep water, and to mike the terror more terrible the whole of the upper deck and the supports went crashing down upon the wretched victims, tearing and bruising the struggling mass and engulphing them in a dreadful watery tomb. Many of the bodies, when they were afterwards taken from the water, were found to be terribly bruised and mangled from the crash of timber, which came down from the upper deck, and in many cases the features bore evidence of the desperate struggle which must have taken place. A visit to the scene shows the Victoria to be a complete wreck, the illy constructed vessel being literally broken iuto pieces. It is said on good authority that her boiler was cot properly secured to the deck, and that it shifted with the rocking of the boat. Hardly any portion of the vessel is visible above the water. Captain Rankin, who was in command of tbe Victoria, says he believes tbe vessel would have recovered herself only for the boiler going over, and as it went It carried away the main deck and that let down the upper deck with the crew on it. There were not one hundred people on the lower deck. The after part of the boat went down, but tbe fore part came to the surface and the boat was spread about six feet apart. The result was that many of the passengers were imprisoned between the water and the top deck, which came down above them, but they had a breathing space of a foot or so, which would have saved many had not others persisted in climbing on the floating deck, thus crushing it down and smothering those un derneath. The Victoria was a flat bottom scow, sharp at both eDds, and registered to carry four hundred passengers. Capt. Ran kin does not thiDk there were more than four hundred and fifty on board. He attributes the disaster to the fact that the vessel leaked badly, and says that a boy sent down to the engineer just before the acci dent reported half an arm’s length of water in the hold. Captain Rankin says he was praying earnestly that the boat might reach the sand bar, where he intended to beach her. Two more bodies were recovered to day. No one speaks or seems to think of anything except the great calamity, which has had a paralyzing effect on all classes of citizens. At no time to day could one walk a block without meeting a funeral procession. CHARLESTON FLASHES, Knight* Templar and A*cen*lon Dajr-Tbe South Carolina Railroad —The Beanfort Decoration Day Orator En Route. Charleston, S. C., May 26. Ascension day was celebrated here to-day for the first time in many years by Soath Carolina Com mandery of Knights Templar, who had a public parade and attended services at the Huguenot Church, where an address upon Masonry was delivered by the acting Pre late, the Rev. C. S. Vedder. Tbe services were attended by a large crowd, and the celebration was altogether a happy and suc sessful one. The Bouth Carolina Riilroad will com plete its track to the river front on Satur day next. The railroad will be sold at auc tion on the 28th of July, and will probably be purchased by the Sloan-Taylor syndicate, of New York. The first mortgage debt of the road amounts to about $3,100,009, and it will probably bring about this amount. The Hon. Cbas. Cowley, of Lowell, Mass., who i to deliver the oration at Beau fort on Monday next, upon the occasion of the decoration of the graves of the soldiers in the Fed.eral cemetery there, passed through here to-night on his way to Bean fort. BRUNSWICK’S BLAZE. An Entire Business Block Swept Away—Heavy Losses. Brunswick, Ga., May 26.—A disastrous fire occurred here last night, consuming the entire block of buildings opposite the cus tom house. The sufferers are O’Connor A Wenz, gro cers and general merchandise; D. J. Dillon, hall aud buildings; P. B. Holzendorff A Bro., grocer?; W. B. Burroughs, general merchandise, and G. A. Macon, household effects. O’Connor Wenz lose three thousand dollars in stock; insurance fifteen hundred dollars. P. B. Holzendorff enseless furore. Railroad shares that two years ago found but few purchasers at ten per cent, are now in eager demand at 200 per cent. One of your most astute and successful merchants, a fellow passenger, gives the fol lowing practical illustration of this sudden in flation An aged capitalist two years ago, who was about to be married to his second wife, con sulted a New York broker as to what settle ment he should make upon the dear girl who had kindly responded to his affections. It was agreed between them that shares to the amount of $5,000, at a par valuation, in New Jersey Central Railroad stock should be pro cured for her benefit. This was duly done at a cost of but nine dollars per share, and the securities, not much more valuable than wall paper when delivered, were safely stowtd away. It came to pass recently that the doting o'd husband was gathered to his fathers, and bis buxom widow, when searching the contents of an old trunk after the funeral, came across the bonds which had been carelessly thrown into It. They were handed over to her lawyer, and under the late rise turned out to be a regular bonanza. But let the too confiding danblers In stocks remember that “it is a long lane that has no turn,” and that the ebb tide will most certainly succeed the Hood. With a crop of EIOHT million bales OF COTTON this year, and the heavy consequent decline in the staple which may be expected: the pres ent high prices and scarcity of provisions; the immense guano bills to be met, and the mania for speculation, somebody is bound “to be hurt.” Let the farmers make a note of it and begin in time to retrench. One other topic of interest only will I men tion, and that is the REVISED EDITION OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. Nothing could more forcibly exemplify the truth of the sacred oracles, and the fast hold they have obtained upon the hearls and con sciences of the Cbristain world, than the in tense interest manifested in the recent publi cation of the New Testament, which was pre pared by a committee of learned divines under the auspices of the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. In an inconceivably short time, the immense edition was exhausted, and hundreds of deal ers left unsupplied. No dime novel Or sensa tional story ever went off more rapidly. On our good ship quite a number have been dili gently engaged in reading and comparing the revised with the ancient 'translation in the reign of King James. So far as the writer has read or been informed, the laborious and elab orate work of the savans of “Jerusalem Cham ber,” Westminster Abbey, and their distin guished American coadjutors, is entitled to, and will receive, the commendation of the Christian public. New and unpub lished manuscripts of ancient date have thrown additional light upon the subject, and the improved scholarship and acumen of modern times have been judicious ly employed to interpret more accurately and gracefully the text of the original Greek. That some of the changes are open to criticism and smack of pedantry, cannot be denied. But on the whole, in the opioion of the writer as far as he has examined, the present is a decided Improvement upon the version printed during the reign of King James. It is more full, perspicuous and elegant, while at the same time the most hypercritical censor cannot impugn or call in question the correc f ness and orthodoxy of the new transla tion. Long years may elapse before the latter will wholly succeed the former, but of the final result there can be no doubt. The work of the divines of the nineteenth century will be accepted as authentic and become the only true and best exponent of the word of God under the new dispensation. THE OCEAN STEAMSHIP COMPANY AGAIN. In his last missive, the writer dwelt at length upon the speed, appointments and manage ment of the good ship City of Columbus. But his present voyage in tho Cits of Augusta calls for still further notice. This majestic ship is the finest ever engaged in tbe carrying coastwise trade of the United States. Her length over all is 32) feet; ton nage 2,870 tons, draught when loaded 17)4 feet, and she can comfortably accommodate one hundred cabin passengers, and twenty four additional in the steerage. Five thousand bates of cotton can be stoned away in the hold, besides an immense amount of lighter freight in the shape of fruits and vegetables. No le:-s than TWENTY ENGINES are required to load, steer, navigate and per form all the functions of the ship, aside from her crew of fifty-four seamen and officials. The principal officers are, COMMODOBX, KINGSBURY S. NICKERSON, First Officer, H. C. Daggett; Second Officer,W. D. Crowell; Purser, Robert Saussy; Clerk, John Barie; Steward. William Cook, and Chief Engineer, 8. J. Savage. A more gentlemanly, capable and efficient corps of officers never trod the deck of any ship. Captain, by courtesy styled Commodore Nickerson, has been in the service of the com pany ever since 1867. His first command was the steamship San Salvador, to which he was assigned in January of that year. This vessel bad but one-third the carrying capa de partments and to first “put up” to u;.i i is always with some act pti ms b not da, necessary before an ap] be obtained. In the Stale D j t r ;-e is a small ring, b it it dot money. That department is too eomr size to allow many advantages. The stealing also goes on in thr Demrtmenf on a small scale, for the same reason tu., j are not big in the State Department. In the Post Office Department there is much fatten ing. It has never been stated, I think, that a ring exists there in the purchase of supplies, but it is notorious that “Col.” Burnside, who does the buying,manages to gather unto himself much that is good in this lire. He started In a poor man on a small salary. He now has plenty of money and manages to keep as good a stable as most wealthy men in the city. Mr Stickney, the purchaser of supplies ror the Navy Department, manages with a large fami ly to live very well on SI,BOO salary, and to get richer and richer every year. He keeps his carriage and horses and is a leading member of one of the churches here. To show how thoroughly corrupt this particular part of the government's management has become it may be farther stated that the fraudulent practices referred to extend even to the White House. There “Col ”Croo <—they all have military titles —isdisbursing clerk aud purchasing agent. His salary is $2,000 a year. He keeps four or five of the best horses all the tim and lives in splendid sty e, with a somewhat numerous family. He has quieted down somewhat since the Treasury scandal began to leak out, and does not have his conveyances drove to the White House to take him there in the morning and come for him in the afternoon. He is afraid it might excite suspicion. All of tbe-e facts have been known for years to those inti mate with the running of the departments. Each one of the men and rings mentioned have a contains set of favored dealers. These only can bid to furnish what is wanted for the departments and have their bids accepted. Ail others are barred out. Exorbitant prices have almost invariably been paid for what was ordered, end then the mu tual “whack-up” went round. Articles for which there is no earthly necessity in the differ ent offices are bought and given to the favored ones. It is to be hoped that a wholesale in vestigation will be ordered all around—not an investigation by committees organized tc whitewash, but by committees organized to find out facts. Such inquiries will pan out most admirably. THE REV. W. W. HICKS AGAIN. Most people in Georgia and Florida have heard of the Rev. W. W. Hicks. He has trans ferred his field of operations to Washington He tried hard enough to get an office, but fail ing, he has fallen hack upon the ministry for a livelihood. His true character Is known to but very few here, but cannot remain hid for ever; and then he will go, accompanied in his going as he has so often been heretofore, by a scandal. He has managed to Ingratiate him self with anew congregation of the Methodist Church which has just been formed and wor ships at Kendall chapel In this city. There he preaches eloquent sermons every Sunday,and conducts meetings during the week in the most approved manner. His plausibili ty and ready command of language has fully deceived all of his listeners. They think there never was such a man as brother Hicks, and that his sermons are the best they ever bat un der. He is in high popularity. Ido not know from whom he is now cribbing his discourses. MACVKAGH VERSUS GARFIELD. The President has a solid little youngster named Irvin, who is really about the worst boy for his age that it has ever been my lot to col lide with. The President is in the habit of using freely Solomon’s rod on the boy, but it does no good. He is Dot only mis chievous, but vicious. Attorney General Mac- Veagh also has a youngster. He is about the same age as young Garfield. He i- a solid st ecimen of the coming man. The other day young Garfield was permitted to go to Mac Veagn’s house to play with his boy. The two got along very well together until the visitor began to act ugly. He finally went so far that his young host could stand it no longer. He ordered his visitor to leave the house. The latter refused. After some excited and angr. talk,young MacVeagh got the son of the Pres tfent of the United States outside on the ter race. He then kicked him down the terrace and put him out of the gate. Mrs. MacVeagh saw the latter part of the transaction, and called her boy into the house. Subsequent pro ceedings were shut off from an interested pub lic by the closing of tne door, treasury apfo::ntmentß. A resolution was adopted by the Senate just before it adjourned calling upon the heads of the different departments of the government for the names of the officers and clerks em ployed therein, whether white or colored, if they served in the Union army, of what State residents, and where appointed from. The passage of such a resolution was very timely. If it had been passed last year these answers would have been very unsatis factory, because they would have been so manipulated as to screen the then heads of de partments But the new Cabinet officers have not had the opportunity, if they desire to make many changes. They will have no delicacy in sending in correct answers. It was particularly noticeable that Senator Sherman, just from four years in the Treasury Department, op posed the adoption of the resolution very stoutly. He did not want his appointments put under daylight The law in regard to ap pointments has been violated aga.n and again. The Revised Statutes require that, all things being equal, the ex-Union soldier shall have the preference. He has not even had a decent chance. It has been the political striker who has always secured the places. Again, the colored people have been discriminated against, which is a violation of law. But few of them have received places, and only then as messengers, workmeu and other positions of the most subordinate character. A handful is all of them that have been given clerkships. The law requires that the clerkships shall be distributed pro rata among the states aud Territories. It has been complied with. Men from one State have been credited to oth ers which they had never seen. Even this pre tense of keeping within the bounds of the law by a sort of rehypothecation of persons was abandoned a couple of years ago, and no at tention paid to where a man hailed from. If he was a political striker who had to be taken care of, he was taken care of without any re gard to law. The answers to the Senate reso lution will be prepared this summer, and be ready for transmission to the Senate early next session. They will bring forth “developments.” Potomac. Leadville three years ago was a min ing camp in which tne rough element of the population was held in check rather by a wholesome dread of lynch law than by the moral restraints and legal appli ances of organized society. There could be no more suggestive Illustration of the progress that has been made since the days of the mining camp than is found in the picture of the High School build ing in the Leadville Herald of May 17, which has just been completed at a cost of $40,000. In architectural design and finish, as well as in the completeness of its appointments, it will compare favor ably with the best school houses m Bal timore, or in any other Eastern city. The “log school house,” which we are accus tomed to associate with frontier civiliza tion, had a brief existence at Leadville, if, indeed, it was ever built at all. This marvelous mining town seems to have overleaped the ordinary processes and stages of development, and to have burst into a busy, prosperous, well organized city, as if touched by the wana of an enchanter. Vanderbilt was neatly ahaved yesterday with Cuticura Sharing Soap. A Welsh Opinio t of Loyalty. London Figaro. It is, we think, to be regretted that the Prince of-Waiee has declined to allow his name tp.be used in connection with the National Eisteddfod of Wales. The loyalty of the Welsh £eop]e is beyond question, but .when they ask a little favor it ought, it possible, to he granted. As there must have -been -reasons why His Royal Highness declined to have any thing to do with the Eisteddford, it seems a pity they were not stated. We make these remarks ..because the refusal of the Prince to patronize the Eistedd ford has not only created a sore feeling in the Principality, it has also exposed him to vulgar abuse, and has given the enemies of the monarchy the opportu nity of attacking not merely the Prince himself, but also the Queen and the Royal family. Thus, a contributor to a Welsh newspa per elegantly declares that the Incident has “shortened royalty’s life in'this country fifty years.” “Already,” he continues, “the Welsh press have been heard to grumble, not only loudly but angrily, at this ungra cious conduct of him who’ some day hopes to be called his most' Gracious Majesty. In the columns of an English daily last week appeared an article which, though not (because Of the old absurd veneration for royalty so long prevailing) so outspoken as it might have been; may yet be considered the first mutterings of a storm which will one day burst as surely as it is now brewing. Men who, if you had spoken to them sneeringly or slightingly of the principle of royalty a few months back, would have turned away from you in disgust, are now beginning to see through the mists of prejudice, and to question the use of the thing. When not only the utter uselessness, but the positive evil, ol that which they have to pay so dearly for shall have become apparent, then will it aud other fooleries and sins be sent packing. Asa begin ning in the right direction, allow me to suggest the dropping from all toast lists of the insane custom of drinking the healths of the Queen, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the royal family. Welshmen have (although not for the first time) received proof positive that none of them are of any use to Wales. Even the musical and literary members of that family—the fiddling Duke of Edinburg and the studious little Leo pold, whom the irreverent believe to be m training for the Archbishopric of Can terbury’—have thought themselves above patronizing Welshmen of like pursuits with themselves.” Mosquitos in Burmnh. Chambers' Journal. The Burrnah varieties of mosquitos are numerous, and all eagerly thirst af ter human or animal blood.

In some parts of the Bassien district, humane owners of cat tle and ponies have mosquito curtains even for their beasts. The Irrawadi river, on which Rangoon, the chief town of the province, is built, is also celebrated for the large size of its mosquitos and the venom of their bite. At Dallah, opposite Rangoon, they are particularly bad; and residents here are mostly provided with mosquito rooms similar to those used in Maoobeng. There was a story current at the last Burmese war that a sailor on board one of Her Majesty’s vessels lying in the river deliberately jumped overboard to escape the torments which he suffered from those tiny pests. Drinking the Body of Caius Septimus. There has just occurred in South France the most absurd blunder of anti quarians on record. Some savants, while exploring an old Roman burying ground, opened a grave which contained ancient weapons and amphora. The largest vase was covered with inscriptions and filled with a thick red liquid. From the al most illegible inscriptions the delighted archeologists at last learned that the grave was that of Consul Caius Sep timus, and they declared that thd liquid must be the famous Falerian wine that Horace sung. Bottling the ruby liquid, they hastened to Paris with their prize and gave a din ner to a select few of the Academy of Inscriptions. Here the historic Falerian was produced, with much ceremony the wine of nearly two thousand years ago was poured into tiny glasses. The learned men then drank the rich nectar to the memory of the jovial Caius. At this juncture the- following telegram was received: “Marseilles, 7 p. m.—Don’t drink contents of am phora; not Falerian at all. Having ci phered other inscriptions find red liquid is body of Caius Septimus, liquefied by old Boman process.” But it waa .too late they had drank him up. fatraw. POWDER Absolutely. Pure.

She NO. 3 WHITAKER STREET, (MORNING NEWS BUILDING). J. H. KBTILL, Proprietor. W. T. THOMPSON, Editor. FRIDAY, MAY 27, 1881. It is stated authoritatively that there will, in the next month or two, be a number of important changes in the heads of bureaus in several of the execu tive departments. Star route frauds are showing up worse and worse. Brady and Dorsey write no more letters demanding an in vestigation. The investigation is going on with a vengeance. Miss Murray, the young lady who brought suit and gained a verdict f or $5,000 against ex Postmaster Tyler, of Baltimore, has been appointed to a posi tion in the government printing office. The new Kansas liquor law —supposed to be triple proof—has worked like many similar laws in other States—it is en forced in the country, while in the larger towns not the slightest attention is paid to it The late Mr. Hayes never thought of disturbing Grant’s biographer or his brother-in-law. He had some faults in the eyes of the stalwarts; but he recog nized the right of Grant to have his friends kept in office. The Cincinnati Gazette hits upon]an ingenious device for condemning Grant’s letter without sacrificing its loyalty to Grant himself. It pronounces the let ter “bogus;” and then proceeds to de nounce it in set terms. Perhaps Grant will take the hint. Governor Colquitt has again appointed Colonel H. H. Jones, of Macon, one of the members of the visiting board of the senior class of the University of Geor gia. This will be eight years that Col onel Jones has held the position under three executive terms. John A. Sutter, the man who discov ered gold in California, died some years ago near St. Louis, almost in extreme poverty. A bronze statue of him is to be set up in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, and General Sherman has presented a lot of brass cannon out of which the statue is to be moulded. Biographer Badeau, according to one of his enemies, “has been abroad so long that he is nothing but an English snob, who has forgotten how to speak the American language, and despises an American. He has also lost the sight of one eye, and is compelled to cover the defect with a round glass screwed into his face.” The Vice President of the United States has for several days been in New York engaged in a consultation with the machine bosses, devising measures to cripple the power of the President and grease the machinery for a fresh whack at the Treasury. This is a novel kind of business for a Vice President to be en gaged in. “A house divided against it self,” etc. The States of the Union which have more women than men are Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia, Louisiana, Mary land, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Caroli na, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. The greatest excess of females is in New York, where it is 71,000, and the least in Louisiana, where it is 3,000. The total excess of women in these fifteen States is 300,000. Mahone’s convention to nominate a State ticket meets at Richmond on Thurs day of next week. It will be a signifi cant gathering from the fact that, whether a formal fusion is made with the Republicans or the latter tacitly ac cept and support its nominees, a sub stantial alliance will be effected with the administration party. A year ago the Readjusters claimed to be better Demo crats than the Debt payers. The claim they will put forth now is likely to be of a different sort The movement is not such as promises to win much favor with the Virginia masses. There is a strong protection "boom” in England, and it is not improbable that Great Britain, the home of free trade, may take some retaliatory meas ures against the various countries that are passing tariff laws inimical to her interests. The new French tariff laws will deal the English manufactures a severe blow, and, in fact, will really prohibit the importation of them into France. With the whole world, even its own colony, Canada, against it, it is not to be wondered at that the English people should feel inclined to take meas urs to protect their own interests. The position of Governor Cornell, of New York, is peculiar. He is strongly bound to Conkling by gratitude for past favors, but notwithstanding his approval of the Conkling-Arthur-James Piatt pro test against the Robertson nomination, seems inclined to side with Robertson and the “half breeds.” This is interpre ted to possibly mean the substitution of a Robertson-Cornell "machine” in place of the Conkling “machine” as the ruling power in New York Republican politics. It would be a strong combination, as it would control both the Federal and State patronage. Jefferson Davis was in Chicago last week for the first time since 1829. The Tribune says: “Heappeared as a courtly old gentleman of the old Southern school, with faded blue trousers, neat, small shoes, a silk alpaca coat and vest, with a rumpled silk stock, wearing a short wrinkled and faded overcoat He walked about the streets without at tracting much attention. His appear ance is much the same as of yore, the face and beard being the same, but he has aged rapidly, and is visibly in his de clining years, so that but few of the peo ple he met on the streets recognized in him the man whose name was once on the lips of every one.” A conflict between the Lords and Commons on the Irish land bill is be coming more and more imminent Mr. Gladstone’s somewhat haughty notifica tion the other evening that the policy of the government would be maintained, even if it were necessary to create new peers for that purpose, has elicited what may be considered a counter declaration frotr T ord Salisbury, in which he plain ly intimates that the House of Com mons, after all, does not represent the views of their constituents as accurately as the Premier and his supporters have supposed. With these mutual recrimi nations, it will not be difficult to precipi tate a serious issue between the two houses; and when it comes to that, in the present temper of the public mind, it will probably result in pushing the Lords to the wall. A Chapter of Radical Blunders. No party ever blundered more gross ly than did the Republicans during the late special session of the Senate, and it is not at all to be wondered at that the party at large was greatly relieved when, on the retirement of the New York Sena tors, the Democrats took charge, dis patched the business and effected a tine die adjournment. From the commence ment of the session to the climax of the secession of Conkling and Platt, the Re publican policy was a succession of blunders. First, the purchase of Mahone; then, with his aid, the grab at the Senate committees; then, as his reward the nomi nations of Gorham and Riddleberger;then at Conkling's instance, the maintenance of a dead lock for nearly seven weeks then, the grant of so much time to Conk ling for work against the Robertson nomination and finally, the abandon ment of everything, caucus nominations, caucus decisions as to the dead lock, cau cus assertions of the “importance of ma jority rule,” caucus outgivings as to the “new South,” etc., etc. The party seems to lack competent leaders, or rather, its most competent managers are so en grossed in their battles with each other and in defending their individual rascal ities, that the welfare of the party, as well as that of the country, is entirely forgotten. The New York Water Supply. The New York Herald sent a reporter some years ago to take a survey of the lakes and rivers of the Croton country, from which New York derives its water supply. His report was very alarming and unpleasant He found the Croton lakes draining a section of country that was thickly settled and full of slaughter houses. The Herald published a map of the region, showing the various nuisances, the refuse and sewage cf which poured into New York’s water supply reservoir. The Herald's article was quite alarming, but it was regarded as a newspaper sensation, and not as much attention was paid to the subject as it deserved. Harper's Weekly now follows in the footsteps of the Herald, and makes a far more unfavorable show ing. The latter paper, it seems, did not mention half thp impurities of the Croton region. In addition to the slaughter houses and the nuisances that defiled the water, the Weekly's correspondent found that both banks of the Crotcn were for nearly the entire length un healthy fever and ague swamps. The stream, therefore, that pours into the lake and furnishes New York with drinking water was at least half of it the drainage from a marsh. Perhaps there is something besides dirty streets to make New York city unhealthy. Garfield's Tactics. There is a difference of opinion in re gard to the policy of the President in re nominating the Conkling men whose names he had withdrawn pending the contest over Robertson s confirmation. But it is thought that by such re-nomi nations the President only strengthened and emboldened Conkling’s opposition. The Richmond Dispatch regards the re nomination of those men as a very shrewd manoeuvre on the part of Mr. Gar field. Says the Dispatch: “He who sup poses that that act was calculated to in jure the President and strengthen Mr. Conkling is a sorry politician. Every Conkling man thus nominated is a source of weakness to Conkling. Look how James, the Postmaster General, adheres to the President. The office holders will all do likewise; or, if they don’t, the President 'will know the reason why.’ If Mr. Garfield had a thousand more good offices to bestow upon Conklingites he could have Conkling stranged upon a barren shore. Not a friend would be left to him.” The policy adopted by the Democrats in the New York Legislature is to insist that the circumstances under which the two Senatorial vacancies occurred de mand that anew Legislature be elected upon the distinct issue of the manner of men to be sent to Washington. It is a strong position, but arguments as to right and wrong never influence Repub lican legislators, and it may therefore be difficult to secure an adjournment of the Legislature before the election of Sena tors. At first, the “half-breeds” favored such adjournment, and with Demo cratic aid could accomplish it, but they are now intending to nominate candi dates in the expectation of a dead lock, with eventually some such compromise as occurred in the Pennsylvania Senato rial contest. The Democrats will, there fore, endeavor to make the dead lock so lengthy and obstinate as to prevent any compromise, and thus, in the end, se cure an adjournment. There is a very reasonable belief that the next Legisla ture will be Democratic. Grant’s letter, taken in connection with Conkling’s career in the Senate, shows that the old Grant crowd, the im mortal 306, descended on Garfield as soon as he was elected with the obvious purpose of “running” his administra tion. They demanded rewards for their friends, and made the demands as pay ment for service rendered in the cam paign. General Grant, in the closing paragraph of his letter, says unblush ingly that he not only expected his per sonal friends to be kept in office, but he thought one of them ought to be sup ported at the government expense until he could finish a life of General Grant upon which he was engaged! The whole tone of the letter is that General Grant and his friends and supporters have a mortgage on the government for sup port and comfort so long as they live. For years a story has been in circula tion to the effect that during the Ameri can civil war, when it was expected France and England were about to recog nize the independence of the Southern Confederacy, the Czar had resolved to give material support to the United States, and had notified England of his intention. The story came out very prominently about the time of the Czar’s death, and attracted considerable atten tion. Mr. Gladstone has just gold of it, and declares that England had no inten tion of interfering in the contest between the States, and that Russia never said anything about her intention to take part in It. The entire affair is probably a romance, although Mr. Thurlow Weed has vouched for its truth. Grant’s remark in his letter to Jones that “filling the most influential office in their State without consulting the Sena tors is a great slight, an insult that ought to be resented to the bitter end,” he is reminded that he made Simmons Collec tor of Boston against the remonstrance of Sumner, Boutwcll, the whole Massa chusetts delegation and a deputation of Boston merchants who visited Grant in the hopes of getting him to withdraw the nomination. Conkling was one of the leaders in favor of it, worked, spoke and voted for it. Grant also removed Mr. Motley against Sumner’s remon strance, and was sustained in the act by the Grant “Senatorial Group.” The Nation’s Prosperity. The twenty third annual report of the New York Chamber of Commerce has just been issued. It presents a remarka ble exhibit of the prosperity of the coun try, and demonstrates that we have fully recovered from the effects of the panic of 1873, and, in a measure, far beyond the expectations of the most sanguine. The report indicates that the present business activity and prosperity is not confined to any one section, but pervades the whole country. It draws its deductions from the statistics of our import and export trade, with which it alone deals. In reviewing the imports of the year prece dence is given to the sugar trade, regard ing, as it does, the course of that staple commodity as a sure indication of the general condition of the country. Dur ing the year 1880 the total consumption of sugar is estimated to have been 819,- 000 tons, as against 743,000 tons in 1879. All of this was drawn from foreign sources, with the exception of 89,000 tons furnished by Louisiana. If the do mestic production of maple and beet sugar be added the total consumption for the past year will reach 900,- 000 tons. In regard to foreign molasses, the consumption fell off from 34,500,000 gallons in 1879, to 33,- 100,000 in 1880; but Louisiana and Texas produced 12,000,000 gallons in addition, making the total consumption of this article for the year 45,000,000. There was a falling off in the importation of coffee from 184,000 ton in 1879,t0 176,000 tons in 1880. The importation of for eign hides was very great, reaching 3,- 000,000 pieces exclusive of Calcutta hides, an excess of 900,000 hides over the im ports of 1879. The wine and liquor trade is said to have been remarkable for its prosperity. In the matter of exports, the crop of cotton for the year ended September 1 reached the enormous figure of 5,957,397 bales, of which 3,865,621 bales were ex ported and 1,625,805 were taken by American spinners. The excess of the yield of raw cotton in 1880 over that of 1879 was 700,000 bales. The decrease in the export of American cotton goods was to be expected, for the exports of our cotton fabrics between the years 1873 and 1879 were made under pressure and to get rid of surplus stock, and returned lit tle or no profit to the manufacturers. The value of the gram exported in 1880 amounted to $80,000,000 in excess of 1879, that of the latter year being $208,000,000, while it rose last year to $288,000,000. The total provision exports increased from $58,0C0,000 in 1879 to $61,000,000 in 1880. The petroleum exports fell off 2,000,000 barrels in 1880, but there was an increase of $5,000,000 in the ex port of lard, and of fresh beef shipments from New York from 44,000,000 pounds in 1879 to nearly 61,000,000 pounds in 1880. The report concludes with some timely remarks on the prosperous condi tion of the country, which “seems to be but the harbinger of an advance yet more’f&pid and startling.” Dr. Paget Higgs, of New York, has invented an electric lamp, before which, according to the newspaper accounts, the Edison burners will be compelled to “pale their ineffectual fires.” He claims that the machine of which he is the in ventor will produce a light equal to 715 candles per horse-power f the engine, and there is a device for storing electrici ty which renders his lamp far more ef fective. He has also devised a plan for lighting dwellings by electricity, the generating power being furnished by the ordinary Bunsen battery. No engine or other mechanical power is required, and the only cost is that of the lamp and the cells and chemicals for charging the bat tery, which are quite inexpensive. The process of generating electricity goes on all the time, and it is stored until the current is needed for supplying the lamps, so that there is no waste of gal vanic action. An English Paper on the Conk ling Resignation.—The Pall Mall Ga zette, commenting on the late dead lock in the United States Senate and the res ignation of Senators Conkling and Platt, says that the incident is a highly disa greeable symptom, as showing the im portance which patronage and place have attracted to themselves in the re public. There seems to be no longer any statesmanship in the American Sen ate. The men in power in the republic seek no longer great and lofty aims, but give their talents to the ignoble work of rewarding their friends and punishing their enemies in order to prolong their own official power. The Pall Mall Ga zette draws from this the reflection that healthy political life is impossible in the United States, and that grave perils await the country in the future. It seems that the Post Office Depart ment is not the only one that needed to be investigated. Secretary Windom does well to emulate Secretary James in prob ing for crookedness under his own nose. These two men, at least, are earning their official salaries. How such abuses as are revealed in the current exposures made by Secretary Windom’s sharp sighted and keen scented committee could have gone on so long without dis covery is somewhat surprising. By the time the committee gets through with its inquiries, at the rate of progress it is now making, the country will be regaled with a very bad but interesting story. The administration does well to unmask these frauds and peculations. Fresh scandals are foreshadowed in the resolution offered by Senator Beck (Democrat, Kentucky), calling for an in quiry into the irregular fees exacted by our consular officers. Invoices must ac company every importation of merchan dise, and for making the prescribed de claration before him, the statute says the consul shall demand $2 50. But in Lon don and Liverpool much more than $2 50 has been exacted and paid for these ser vices to commerce. It is very far from improbable that when these excessive exactions are traced, a share of them will be found, as in the case of the star route increase of compensation, to have gone into the Republican campaign fund of last year. The record of the persecution of the Jews in the Russian frontier provinces is a black stain upon an already dark and forbidding history. Whatever cause there has been for unkind feelings be tween the peasantry and these people, there surely has been nothing to justify the extent to which the bloody work has gone. And why the Russian Govern ment has not checked it is at once a comment upon the vindictive aggres siveness of the natives and the miserable weakness of the empire. The move ment which has been started in England in behalf of the persecuted race may yet be productive of results beyond afford ing merely temporary relief. Secretary Blaine is informed that the French delegation to the Yorktown Cen tennial will consist of no more than ten gentlemen, descendants of Lafayette, De Rochambeau and other of our allies in 1781. Actaeon and His Dogs. The Albany Argus has been sketching some of the leading features of Conk ling's career, and comes to the following conclusions: “Any theory that he will abandon leadership to become a rover or a criti ciser reverses the habit and contradicts the evidence of a lifetime. It will be well to reserve a decision on that subject. Reflection on Mr. Conkling’s ability to mask or mitigate his partisanship would initially show that he never has done so; that would argue that he never could do so. No; that idea is of the imagination; not of the reason. Nor do wU believe Mr. Conkling can carry out any idea he has to retire from politics and loom into law. His temperament is for politics. His habits are political. Men change their skies, but not their minds. Events will lure, and, if need be, will lash Mr. Conkling into activity in politics. The present events mean more than the disestablishment of the machine. That is a great feat and fact, but the events mean the tearing of the Republi can party by the malign forces it has injected into politics. Actaeon’s dogs have turned on him, and are rending him. Sciolism and savagery and sec tionalism have disintegrating properties in them for those who use them. The Republican party has been their user. It is becoming their victim. The admin istration embodies the better professions and the meaner actions of Republican ism. Stalwartism embodies the manlier motives and the purely barbarian pur suits of that party. The Pecksniffian and the piratical forces of the organization are in deadly grapple. So should it be.” It looks so; but, in the event of such an active and aggressive faction leader as Conkling being retired from the Sen ate, it is very probable that he will have his revenge in accelerating the retire ment of the Republican party from pub lic life, if stalwartism goes down with it. Disclosures to Come. A prominent stalwart, who holds a position high in the party, and is a friend of Senator Conkling, said: “There is a good deal more of the thing than has yet appeared upon the surface. Don’t you believe that Roscoe Conkling has fired off all his ammunition yet. I know that Mr. Conkling has regretted ever since that he did not do as he was all prepared to do at the time the electo ral count was before Congress, and de nounce that infamous steal and all con nected with it. And he is not the only one who regrets it. Hundreds of Re publicans in this State, and 1 was one of them, were prepared to act with him.” “Well?” “Mr. Conkling has now in his posses sion such proof of the corruption of Blaine and Garfield, and especially of the former, that were he to make it pub lic no decent man could longer consent to stick to this administration or declare himself its friend. Whether Mr. Conk ling goes back to the Senate or not the people will know just what a set of plunderers we now have at the head of the government. They have set out to crush Roscoe Conkling, a man against whose honesty no one has ever dared to raise the least whispe/, anp he will soon show up to the people of this country, in their true light, the men who are doing it. Of course, it will destroy the Republican party, but every decent mau in the party will be glad to see it destroyed, rather than to be longer con tinued in power to rob the people. Wait until you hear further from Roscoe Conk ling. He has not got done writing letters yet. There’ll be more music in the air when next he speaks than has been heard in this country in a good many years. Gen. Butler’s Finger in the Pie. A Washington dispatch of Tuesday says: “Among the items of gossip float ing around in political circles to day is one, which is accepted with much pleasure among the stalwart element, to the effect that Gen. Butler has put Mr. Conkling in possession of facts tending to the great damage of the administration, but more particularly injurious to Mr. Blaine. When Gen. Butler was here last week he had an interview with Mr. Blaine, during the course of which the Secretary of State assured him seriously, in the presence of others, that he not only had nothing to do with the nomination of Judge Robertson for Collector of the port of New York, but that he knew nothing of the President’s intention until after the nomination was sent in. What Mr. Blaine’s object was in making such an extraordinary statement was not known, except that the conjec ture which i3 now thrown out may be correct, that he knew Gen. Butler was friendly to Mr. Conkling, and that the General knew some things about him which it would not be particularly agreeable to have made public. Gen. But ler did not make any reply to this asser tion of Mr. Blaine,but there was a twinkle in his one eye capable of such muscular exertion which spoke of incredulity. He afterwards told Senator Conkling of this, and the latter remarked that it w-as enough to make a horse laugh. The story is now that Gen Butler has found out a great deal about the star route irregularities, and that he has commu nicated all the facts to Mr. Conkling, who will take good care that they be fully known at Albany in good time to have effect on the Senatorial election, and that Mr. Blaine is in great tribulation about it, as it is said it will not help the administration cause.” How fierce the controversy over the Robertson matter has grown may be conceived from the following extract from a Conkling Republican paper, the St. Louis Globe-Democrat-. “The attacks upon Mr. Conkling which such newspapers as the Cincinnati Commercial are now making, would be much stronger if something could be truthfully said in them about the Credit Mobilier and the De Golyer contracts,and things of that sort. But, unfortunately for the Commercial and its allies, Mr. Conkling never stole anything, and his intelligence always enabled him to dis tinguish between a bribe and a loan.” We may soon expect to see these papers proving the De Golyer and Credit Mobilier charges on Garfield. They may even take up the Morey letter again, and seek to show that it was written by the President. Young men need not feel discouraged over the finances. According to a late publication of the Anti-Monooply League of New York, it does not take very many years to accumulate a fortune, if you only go about it in the right way. Here are some of the great fortunes of this country and the time it required to accumulate them: Jay Gould Cos., $75,000,000 in fifteen years; the Vander bilts, $100,000,000 in twenty years; Huntington, Hopkins Cos. (the Central Pacific syndicate), $186,000,000 in fifteen years, on an investment of $12,500. It was railroads that did it. Damaged Corn.—The Chicago Tri bune of Friday last says: “It is true that much of the corn arriving here is in bad condition. The cause of this is that a large amount of the corn cribbed in the country has been insufficiently protected against that unusually severe weather that prevailed during the writer. The snow was driven into the cribs, keeping the corn wet and damp all the time. This causes it to heat very easily, and the utmost care has to be used in hand ling it to keep it from spoiling while in transit.” Shortening Time.—The construction of a railroad from Pensacola, Fla., east to Chattahoochee, connecting with the Georgia and Florida system, has been definitely decided upon, and work will soon be commenced. This road will shorten the time between Pensacola and New Orleans at least twenty-four hours, and between Pensacola and Eastern cit ies quite as much. MORE CORRUPTION. Startling Heanlta of (be Investigation in the Treaeurv Department. The investigation of the accounts and conduct of O. L. Pitney, custodian of the Treasury Department, to which al lusion has been made by our Washington correspondent, is developing ugly facts and involving persons who have held high places. Pitney’s business is to buy everything needed in the Treasury, in cluding furniture, carpets, soap, etc. It is ascertained that he has for six years violated the law requiring him to pur chase by contract from the lowest bid ders. He has bought from friends and favorites without making any contracts, paying them whatever they charged. No system of books or vouchers has been kept. Everything has been run loosely and without any sort of business rules. Outrageously exor bitant prices have been charged, ranging from 30 to 50 per cent, higher than the ruling market prices, and the difference between the market prices and those paid had been allowed Pitney by the partnership purchased from him in the way of goods for his own use. One cabinet maker named Frazer, who is regularly employed under Pitney, tes tifies that nearly all of his time, for sev eral years, has been consumed in doing work for outside parties, instead of working for the government; that he spent one month in working on anew house owned by a high government offi cial; that he frequently went from one house to another of persons in govern ment employ, some holding important places, doing whatever they wanted, and the money paid for his services was charged round to the different govern ment bureaus. He swears that he made fifteen fac similes of the desk used by Jefferson when he wrote the Declaration of Independence, and which was pre sented to the government a year or so ago; that each of these imitation desks cost S6O, the material for which was paid for out of government money, and charged among the materials needed for government uses. These fifteen desks were given out as presents by the authorities in the Treasury to friends. The furniture belonging to the Treasury has been loaned out on occasions of re ceptions at certain residences. The facts go to show that a regular ring, consisting of subordinate officials of the Treasury, some of them holding respon sible positions, existed and got benefits from the loose and reckless manage ment. Beside Pitney and his bookkeeper, and storekeeper and hostler, who has charge of the cabinet-making depart ment, one assistant secretary and others have derived more or less advantage from Pitney’s method of doing govern ment business. In a few instances con tracts have been made, but not in the most important and expensive purchases. Pitney has built him anew residence. The result of the investigation will prob ably be a number of removals. Ex- Cabinet officers are mentioned in the testimony as having received the benefit of the government cabinet-makers in work at their private residences. The investigation will, it is stated, make more important developments. The ring has been in operation for years, and now that the exposure has begun, profits can be traced to many persons. Two years ago Assistant Secretary Upton was informed of wrong doing and mis application of public money by Custo dian Pitney, but no steps were taken to ward its correction. It is asserted to night that Upton will soon be removed, and that the strong fight made to keep him in his position was for the purpose of preventing the exposure which ha3 now come. This investigation and that of the star route service are not the only ones to be made. The present adminis tration intends to seaich through all the departments of public service to learn how the public business is being con ducted, and whether any reckless, waste ful or wrong practices exist anywhere. Wherever any wrong exists, it is to be exposed, and wherever any public money is wasted, it is to be stopped. Bishop Becker on the New Revision. In an interview with a newspaper re porter Sunday, on the new revision of the New Testament, Bishop Thomas A. Becker, of the Catholic diocese of Wil mington, Del., who is preparing a lengthy article for the July number of the Catholic World, said: “The revision of King James’ version seems to approach in many points much nearer the Vulgate than Protestantß, as a rule, will like. The leaving out of a doxology which was formerly attached to the Lord’s Prayer, ‘For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever, Amen,’ will be found in accord with the Catholic version, but may seem strange to those who supposed it part of the sacred volume. This and the history of the adulterous woman left in brackets as doubtful, and the lack of the last chapter of St Mark, from the 7th verse onward, and the ‘three wit nesses,’ 111. John, v. 7-8, may well be con sidered as the largest omissions. As to the critical value of the revisions, it will just be found to be worth whatever of scholarly effort the board possessed, but, on the whole, we think Protestants will say of it what is said of the new wine in the Scripture, ‘The old is better.’ The Rev. Dr. J. O. Peck, of the Han son Place Methodist Episcopal Church, Brooklyn, N. Y., and formerly pastor of Mount Vernon M. E. Church, Balti more, preached Sunday evening on the “Greatest Event of the Great Century— the Revised Version of the New Testa ment.” The revision was the greatest event of the century, he said, because it demonstrated that there were no fatal errors in the Testatment as we have had it. Eighty men, learned and pious, had spent ten years each in studying the book, and this aggregate of eight hun dred years of labor in looking for defects had proved that there was no false doc trine in the Testament—-no fatal error. “I take these eight hundred years|of study of the Bible,” said the preacher, “and put them against Bob Ingersoll’s shallow treatment of it. What it Means. —The Bt. Louis Globe Democrat (Rad.) having declared that “it’s just a little family row in the Republican party, and that when the next election is at hand we’ll all kiss and make up and shake the bloody shirt and wallop the rebs again,” the St. Louis Republican (Dem.) says. “Which means that it makes no dif ference how corrupt and infamous our leaders are we are with them and for them when the spoils are to be won. It is not a high standard of political mor ality, to be sure, but it leads to thrift. Garfield may be the partner of De Gol yer in robbing the government, and Blaine may be the accomplice of Mulli gan in schemes of plunder, and we to day declare they were, but we will swear in the face of the country, if it become necessary in the next campaign, that they are angels of light and spirits of purity.” The stalwart view of the Conkling situation is thus depicted by the Albany correspondent of Gorham’s paper: “The stalwart leaders contend that the ‘half-breeds’ have reached the end of their rope. Their iron-clad pledge not to vote for Conkling or Platt, or any other enemy of the administration, con tains some fifty names. To secure a majority in the caucus they must have fifty-four. Next week the stalwarts will have their forces here, and they expect to include Conkling, Platt and Arthur. In fact, it was intimated by a prominent New York city official that Mr. Conk ling is desirous of meeting the Republi can members and personally explaining his position. None are so enthusiastic as to stake an opinion that two half-breed Senators can be elected. Especially is this the case since the stalwart nomina tions of yesterday.” Of the President it is said Senator Conkling quite recently spoke as fol lows: “That man in the White House is not all one man. For instance, he gets his religion from Bob Ingersoll, his patriotism from Mahone, his honesty from Dorsey, and his stupidity—well, it may be natural, but it is more than like ly that it is a legacy left by his predeces sor in the office of President,” Ctttirwa gmeflies.

jrncfttoming fforg. FKIDAY. MAY 27. 1881. Georgia A flairs. Our Sander? viile correspondent reports that Hals'on. co’ored. was shot through the ieaiand instantly killed Wednesday morning by a negro named Wimbusb, on the plantation of Henry Holni“s. near No. 12)4, on the Cen tral Railroad. -i.e Sparta hhmaelite says that the spring t cro p is. as a rule, a failure in Hancock ur.ty. The exceptions are where the grain is planted in fertile soil or heavily manured. In such cases there will be a pretty fair yield. is the trial of certain liquor dealers in Ma c-,n recently His Honor Judge Simmons im f ied fines to the amount of some twelve hun- j rr j dollars. Several parties were Qned two tun ired and fifty dollars, someone hundred and twenty-five dollars and one hundred and fifty dollars. One party was fined three hun dr*u and twenty-five dollars. The Telegraph “Judge Simmons is determined, as far as 1.-s ;n his power, to check the sellingof whisky t minors and abolish liquor drinking on Bun dav/' There is a strong temperance move ment developing in Macon, and a petition is to be taken round and the position of every man on the question clearly learned. Princs Batriee, an enterprising colored gen tleman of Athens, recently struck a bonanza in the shape tf stolen brass, etc., which he deftly removed from the wheels and other p rtions of the cars at the Northeastern de pot hen he had obtained a quantity he en gaged the services of a small boy to taka it to the foundry where a good price is paid for it. The frequency of the small boy’s visits and the quantity of brass he brought aroused the suspicion of the foundry men and they told Policeman Culp that they thought something was wrong. It took but a short time to ferret out the matter and spot Prince as the guity party. He was therefore nabbed ai.J took up his abode in the county jail to await trial for his misdemeanor. The Post-Appeal relates a short-lived Atlanta ensition that caused quite a stir while it lasted. It appears that Mr. Charley Johnson, a young man who rooms over Dr. Bigger "a office, discovered a tin ean in the rear of his room which gave out a rather offensive odor. Think ing that the can contained soap grease he gave it to his bro’her and told him that he might take it out to his home in the country. The can was ace jrdingly carried off, but when a colored woman at Johnson’s house attempted to use the contents for soap making purposes the was horrified to find that they consisted of the dismembered corpus of an infant. The dead body was sent back to town, and C roner Hiilourn being notified of the fact summoned a jury and witnesses, with the intention of holding an inquest. At.this stage of the affair Dr. luggers appeared atd demanded his cadaver, stating that it was a subject which he hud had preserved in alcohol for about a couple of years, and, as the alcohol had leaked out, he had temporarily set it back of his office. The doctor was indignant over the disappear ance of his subject, but the matter was soon explained, and Coroner Hillbum decided that there was ro necessity for holding an inquest. The corpus was delivered to Dr. Biggers, and the supiKHed sensation evaporated. Columbus is plagued with bitter miik. The cows pasture on the dog-fennel, and their milk is almost as bitter as the weed. Plans are w> irking to get rid of the nuisance, but the weed wiil grow, and the cows will eat it. The Social C reie correspondent of the Il'at tun County Uidetie states that a little son of Rev. J. C. Burton, four or five years old, had the misfortune to get a pumpkin seed in his w indpipe last Friday, causing much uneasi ness to his parents and great suffering to him self. All efforts to remove the seed have so far failed, and it is feared that it may prove fatal. Mr. John M. Tucker tells the Miliedgeville Union and Recorder that several nights ago on a portion of his plantation there was a shower of rain. Next morning acres of his land were covered with what are known as spring lizards. There were bushels of them all around, and covered the ground so thick that tlie negroes could hardly find a clear spot on which to eat their breakfast. By noon they were all dead. The Walton County Vidette is informed that Mr. Alien McCarty was recently found lying in a he!: less condition in his stables, whither he had gone to feed his stock. Being alone and remaining an unusual length of time, someone went in search of him, and found that he had been severely trampled on by his mules. His injuries are said to tie serious. ine Dublin Gazette learns that a very heavy wind passed over the northern part of tue county last Sunday night. Soma houses were unroofed, fences blowu down, and olber dam age done. Under the caption “Crops on Lookout Moun tain,Georgia,” "Brampton Cliff sends us the following: “Oats and corn are in fine con dition. Farmers are busy putting in their crops of peach blow potatoes. Early potatoes are growing well. Tan bark is bringing Si 25 per cord, and oar farmers have their bark in lots varying from ten to a hundred cords, ready for hauling to market in August. Strawberries, currants, cherries and gooseberries are ripe now. Alexander peaches will be ready for market by the middle of June. The peach, apple, pear and grape crop was entirely un injured by the severe winter, owing to the dryness of our atmosphere and the marve’- ously even temperature of our mountain cli mate. If your correspondent from Southern Georgia, who urges the return to the old time seedling peach, will buy his grafted trees from Fruitland Nurseries, Augusta, and then take, care of them, I doubt his being willing to give a seedling peach standing room.” Senator Brown is in Atlanta. Senator Hill lias not yet arrived home. The Dublin Gazette says not quite six thous and bales of cotton have been received at that place the past season. Of guano one thousand and thirty tons have been received, besides boat loads that have gone to landings below Dublin. ine Post-Appeal states that as an excursion train was returning from Toccsa, a negro fell from the platform of a car, near Gainesville, and aieJ in a few minutes from the injuries received. A boy fell off the same train near Soreross. but it is not vet known whether he was seriously hurt or not. The Athens Ranner reports that on Monday a little daughter of Mr. Bain, who resides on Hancock avenue, had the misfortune to brer-k her arm. She was engaged in the dangerous sport of sliding down the stair railing, when she slipped her hold and fell nearly the entire distance from the second to the first floor. Dublin Gazette: ‘There has been shipped to this place this year one thousand and thirty toes of mi ano. beside boat loads that have gone to landings below.” The Ishmaelite says: “An immense amount of water power is going to waste every year in the Oconee river. There ought to be several millions ot dollars invested in factories and machine shops on the banks of that river.” Sparta hhmaelite: "It is reported that quite a cumber of vaiuat le cattle have died recent ly in the Devereaux neighborhood. The kind of disease that is taking them off is not report ed.” iieidsville Enterprise “While Mr. W. N. McDonald was out sheep hunting the other dav lie came upon five deer. He had his gun with him. but was so tender-hearted he tired off both batreis to frighten them away to keep from kdliug them.” The Louisville Courier understands that ar rangements have been completed for re penmg the telegraph line connecting Louis vi.te with the main line. The company will have an office at Wad ley for local business, and run a line up the Central Railroad to Bar t*>w, where they will connect with the Western Union. Says the Sandersville Mercury: “In conse quence of tbe long: continued drought in many para of our county, not more than half the cotton already planted has come up, and much re-Bains yet to be put in the ground. Where it is up a tine stand is to be seen, and it is doing sell, but how that a ill do th t is not up or s*ill to be plan’ed is a conundrum we are una ble to solve. Tbe rain on Saturday evening will do great good, and was badly needed." Monroe Advertiser: “Mr. J. W. Moran has carefully tLresbed the oats gathered from four and a half acres and obtained 330 bushels, '394 bushels p r acre. Tbe oats are known as the Burt, or Mississippi oats. The yield is cer tainly a splendid one. These osts ripen two to three weeks earlier than the rust-proof fh niasville Enterprise: “Last Friday the first f the wool eiop came into town. Twenty one bales, each weighing a good deal over five hun ired pounds, were brought in an-,1 sold, and, *e hear, brought twenty six cents per pound. This is a very fair beginning for this season, as the sheep t ied up badly last winter.’* Thomasviile Enterprise “Reports from the many parties engaged in raising the LeConte pear' tree from the cutting indicate that the rop of young trees next fail will be exceeding ly s nail. The late spring, followed by the dry weather, has killed out nearly all the curings, and only a very small percentage of them are now living, and many of these will die if it does not rain soon Amer.eus Republican: “We learn that on Thur-Jay last t apt. Saucer, of the United States dredge boat on the Flint river, was ft ruck in ihe back by the breaking of the limb °f a large tree that waa being removed from the river, and was knocked down. He was severely hurt, and at last accounts was com plaining of pains in the back and tboulders, hut he is still sticking to his work.” Speaking of the oat yield the Monroe Adver tiser says: “From fifty *o seventy-five bushels will b*> the average product on good land. Two Vearg since one hundred and thirty-seven bushels were made on an acre In our town and fifty-five on a half acre in another patch. It was a common thing for the farmers to get to seventy-five bushels per acre. For the Present season we hear the moat encouraging reports.” T he Amtricus Recorder tells this story: "As me south-bound train was approaching Ogle- thorpe a lady asked a gentleman to extract a cork from a bottle of medicine Tbe /enti^ £l°** res Ponded: “I am a BaDtist ivlVrenM Pj® gentleman, with proper £wtuSurits[ tt OUt and ppesented J° urnt *l- We regret to state that aSriou^J-id' 10 of county, met with .hA -ia e uL 0 cduesday last.

To estab itsh anew institution elsewhere would involve considerable cost in the purchase of land, to say noihing of many of the buildings that would not have to be erected by extending the present asylum, and we may add, the creation or an entire new corps of officers. If all the patients are sent to one institution, and that a large one. better opportunities for classifica tion wculd be afforded. The Columbus Times noting the death of Colonel John L. Mustian, says: The friends of Colonel John L. Mustian in this city were pained to learn of his death, which took place at his borne, the Warm Springs, Meriwether county, Monday night about 10 o'clock. He was seventy-six years of age, and has been in a low state of health for some time past, so his death was not unh.oked for. Colonel Mustian was born in North Carolina, and came to Geor gia when yet a young man. He was a carpen ter by trade, having served an appenticeship with the father of General Brax’on L. Bragg, and in this, as in whatever he undertook, lie was thorough. Coming here before railroads were built, be and Colonel R. L. Mott run a stage tine from Macon to Montgomery, passing through Columbus, in which business they amas-ed a large fortune, much of which, by prudence and care, he preserved up to the time of his death. He was a large stockholder in the old Muscogee Railroad, and for a long series of years was the efficient President of the company.” The Post-Appeal reports that on Tuesday night the eight-roomed house at 33 Peters street, Atlanta, occupied by the families of Jack Snipes, Henry Ablis and Bose Mahaffey was destroyed by fire. A little boy of Mr. Snipes was awakened bv the cracking of the flames and gave the alarm. The Are was then raging on a corner of the roof direciyover the sleeping family. Help soon arrived, and most of the furniture was saved, but the con tents of the kitchen, where the fire originated, were destroyed. During the progress of the fire the kitchen chimney fell and a flying brick cut quite a gash in the head of a negro man who was lending his assistance. Three men, two colored ana one white, who w>-re in the second story of tlie building trying to save the furniture, had a narrow escape. The stair way was totally consumed, and they were compelled to jump from the window. For tunately, the leap did not result in any injury’ to either of them The house was burned to the ground. It belonged to T. C. Harrison, and was insured for SSOO. South Carolina Notes. Miss Mary Porte an estimable lady of Beau fort, S.

A movement is on foot and is now taking definite shape to establish a Second Presbyte rian Church in Columbia, to be known by the name of tbe “Plumer Memorial,” in honor of tbe late lamented and distinguished divine, Rev. IV. S. Plumer, D. D. Mr. R. J. Davis, of Columbia, was killed on the Columbia and Greenville Railroad a few nights ago. He was acting as brakeman on the up freight train, and after leaving Pied mont station, twelve miles below Greenville, he was mounting with a lantern to his post on the roof of the fraight car by the iron ladder at the side of the car, when the projection of a water tank, which the train was passing rapid ly, struck him in the side and hurled him to the ground. The force of the blow was such that he died in fifteen minutes. The clyrk of the Southern Express Company at Newberry, who met she ll;40 east bound train on tlie Air Line Railroad, was knocked down and robbed f his pouch by a negro thief on Friday night on the depot platform.

Ihe Post Office Department has ordered an increase of mail service on the Chester and Lenoir Railroad, extending this pos al route from Dallas to Lincolnton. This change will go into effect on and after the 2id instant. The passenger trains are now making regular daily trips to Lincolnton. Colleton Press: “Our farmers are making good headway with their crop*, and their prospects, notwithstanding the unfavorable condition of the weather during the spring.are decidedly fluttering.

We learn that a determined effort will be made at the session of the Legislature in July to secure the passage of a “general local option law.” A postal card from At lanta informs us that the Woman’s Chris tian Temperance Union is in daily receipt of signatures to the memorial which is to be presented in reference to this subject. Hundreds of names to the petitions have been obtained in various parts of the State, and the organization is anxious to bear from Savannah. We are requested to state that any person willing to obtain signatures to the petition can obtain the blanks with printed heading by applying to the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, Atlanta. Weary of Life. Samuel Hamilton, a white man, who was sent from tbe City Court to the chain-gang lately for three months, being found guilty of petty larceny, severely cut bis left arm with au axe, thus maiming himself, to avoid work. He was returned to the jail, where his wound, which is a serious one, was dressed. Hamilton attributes bis mis fortune to whisky drinking, and asserts he was innocent of the offense for which he was convicted. He was In fear of being punished for not working, and hence cut himself. He is very much epressed in mind, expressing the wish to some visitors yesterday that he was dead. He is a man above ordinary education, and claims to be respectably connected and once to have been In tbe possession of ample means. His case is a sad one, and should have the consideration of some of our religious philanthropists. With the proper considera tion and kindness he might be reformed and made a good citizen. He came here from Florida some months ago. Tbe Stock market. The market for stocks and bonds was comparatively quiet yesterday, and light sales were made. Central common opened at 160, bid 161 asked, and declined a point during the day, closing at 159, bid 160 asked. Augusta and Savannah seven per cent, guaranteed opened at 123 bid, 124 asked, and closed at the same figures. Southwestern showed con siderable strength opening at 142 bid, 145 asked, and advancing two points, closing at 144 bid, 145 asked. Memphis and Charleston opened at 90 bid, 92 asked, and closed at 82 bid, 84 asked, a decline of six points from the asking price. New Savan nah bonds show considerable firmness and vary but little, opening and closing at 89 bid, 89K asked. In Trouble Again. Wm. Small, the colored individual who was arrested on Wednesday night for disor derly conduct and stealing some crockery from the store of Mr. G. W. Allen, on Broughton street, was arraigned in the Police Court yesterday morning and was fined $lO and thirty days on the chain-gang. It is stated that Small is no other than the individual who was concerned with John Johnson in the murder of the sailor Mc- Dermott, and who was pardoned by the Governor. If this be so it is the second time he has been in trouble since his release from the penitentiary. William is evident ly a bad fellow. Election of Directors.

Wheaton, Vice President. Directors—L. Pless, J. N. Hardee, C. M. Cunningham, J. W. Lathrop and Carl Ep plng.
