He makes it known that they were sent by a Democrat and through a Democratic express agent. Governor Colquitt recently made use of the following language to a reporter of the Atlanta Constitution: “I can readily believe that Guiteau's sole provocation for killing Garfield was that he was a disappointed effieeseeker. There is no hatred to be c smpared to that felt by the man who asks for office towards the man who does not give It to him. Anything can be forgiven but that." Columbus has a trunk manufactory now turning out 250 trunks a week, more substan tial and better finished, says the Times, than those of N!•. The autho. dies know this,and ytt they will not move in the matter Coffee County Gazette: “We learn that a Mr. MitWr, a voung man employed at Reppard’s mill, at F’ixonia. while walking from the upper end of the tram road to the mill, a distance of six or seven miles last Saturday. became over heat*-d, from the effects of which he died that evening.” Early County News: "We are told that there is a town in Georgia, with an Irish name, where two papers are published neither of wrhich pays expenses, but are sustained through an unadulterated spirit of envy that exists be tween two factions in the town. The fool killer should visit that town at once.” Middl Georgia Tim-s: “Last Monday about sundown I lie mas ton was v sited by the hardest rain we have ever seen fall. The cloud came from the southeast, and about an hour after wards another fearful looking one came from the northeast and blew a perfect hurricane for a few minutes, doing considerable damage in and around Thomastoa.” Middle Georgia Times: Sir. F. G. Matthews presented us this week with a sprig from a pear tree which, in a space of about six inches, contained sixteen well developed pears. They were of ‘A J Williams' June' variety and were grown in Mr. Matthews' orchard. He ha* one of the largest orchards in this section, which contains every variety of fruit grown in this climate.” Walker County Messenger ‘‘Milas Bailey, who lives a mile or two west of Dr Cheney's, in Chattooga, has lost his house by fire.

AH efforts to extinguish it failed. Nearly everything in the house was destroyed. Among his losses are one hundred dollars in money and a thousand p unds of meat. We are sorry to iccord this misfortune." Coffee County Gazette: “We hear consider able complaint about a few postmasters in this county, and as such carelessness on the par; of them is causing us to lose a few subscribers we are compelled to complain. Some claim that that there is no regulation a* to how their mail is kept or given out If all the reports we hear be true, the mail business is getting to be a nuisance instead of a convenience, in acme parts of this county.” Covington Star: “The authorities of the Macon and Brunswick Railroad say thev will have three thousand bands at work ou the line from Mecon to Atlanta within the next twenty days. They say tney h*ve located forty miles of the road'this side of Macon, and will build bv the McDonough route, provided the survey of the South river line from Clarke's mills to Snapping ehoals does not give them a better route, In that case they would build by Snap ping Shoals, etc. This is official." Quitman Eree Press: “On Tuesday night last, in an affray In Tallokas district.

As usual, the difficulty originated about a pro frigate woman, the wife of the victim The murderer. Jack Carlton, has been arrested by Sheriff McNeil, and is in jail.

The committee was inter viewed by the rime*, and state that they are almost unanimous in the opinion that the treatment could scarcely be improved upon, and will strongly recommend to the Legisla ture that the present system he continued.” Quitman ree Press: “Many of our readers wiU doubtless remember the killing of Whit -8 tt in Lee county, in 1879. an account of which was published in ih s paper at ibe time The three murderers, all colored, were arrested and confined in the Lee county jail, but escaped Ki atier.

Hamilton County Times: “Tha criminal docket of Hamilton Circuit Court furnishes food for the reflecting citizen Since the Ist of June five cases of felony have been dock eted, to wit: Two for murder, one for perjury, oce for bigamy and one for obstructing the railroad track. This, however, is no reflection upon the citizens of Hamilton county as a law abiding people, for a majority of The parties charged with these offenses were from with out Hamilton county.

A SLIGHT RISE IN FEVER. THE PRESIDENT NOT SO COM FORTABLE. No Cause for Alarm, However—Too YI ueli Solid Food tbe Trouble— Tbe Surgeons Explain tbe fflatter. Washington, July IS, 11:30 p. m —The President’s afternoon fever was a little more s'rocgly marked to night than last night, his pulse showing an increase of four beats, his temperature a rise of 5.10, and his res piration a slight corresponding acceleration as compared with the maximum of ytsterday. In any other patient the trifling increase in intensity of fever would be regarded as a natural fluctuation, and would not excite especial remark, but the President’s symptoms are so closely watched from day to day and almost from hour to hour by the whole country, that an unfavorable change, how ever iligbt, seems to have greater signifi cance than really attaches to It, and is liable, in the absence of explanation, to cause ap prehensions. It Is proper, therefore, to say, by way of comment upon to-night’s offi cial bulletin, that the facts therein stated give no uneasiness to the attending surgeons. There is a Fright Increase in fe ver, but tt arises from known causes, and is undoubted’y transient in its character. The reasons assigned for it are as follows: The President during the past three days, and more especially to day, has taken a largely increased quantity of solid food. His sto mach is still sensitive and manifests its sensitiveness when any way overtaxed by symptoms of disturbance. Such was the case to day, and this gastric trouble Is thought to have been largely instrumental in aggravating the febrile fymptoms. The President this afternoon became ever wearied in the hands of the barber. He expressed a desire to have his beard and b&lr trimmed and his head rubbed, and at his request a barber was summoned. The latter spent some time in rubbing him, and although the Immediate eff-.cts were pleas urable, the results were overfatigue and in creased feverishness. Aside, however, from the transient rise in pulse and temperature, the President’s symptoms continue to be favorable. THE BULLETINS. Executive Mansion, Ba. m fUncfficia) Bulletin J —l he President’s progress towards convalescence, noted in the official bulletin on Saturday, steadily continues. He feels greatly refreshed by the restful, unbroken sleep which he had last night, and which was materially assisted fcy the agreeable change In tbe weather. His pulse Is grad ually lessening, It now being 88, with nor mal temperature and respiration. He will receive for breakfast beefsteak, toast and meat juice and poached eegs, and later on a little oatmeal cooked to a jelly. It is deemed best by the surgeons to give solid, substantial food in the morning, dltcon tinning it at one o’clock, after which time only liquid nourishment Is administered. 8:30 a. m. [Official Bulletin.]—The Presi dent has passed another comfortable night and is doing well this morning. Pulse 88, temperature 98 4, respiration 18. 1 p. m. The condition of the President Las not materially changed since morning. He has no fever and is resting quietly. Pulse 90, temperature and respiration nor mal. 7p m. [Official Bulletin.

The following telegram was sent, to night by the attending surgeons to the consulting surgeous, Drs. Hamilton and Agnew: “Shortly after our dispatch of yesterday •he President received a hypodermic. Jrj-c --tion of one-eighth of a grain of sulphate of morphia. He slept well durlrg the night, and this morning, at 8:30 o’clock, his pule was B', temperature 98 4, respiration 18. His day, however, was not quite so comfortable as yesterday. A slight gastric disturbance was noted towards noon, in consequence of which the quantity of nourishment admin istered was temporarily diminished. This was followed by rather more afternoon fever than yesterday, but the difference was not great, and it is thought to he merely a tem porary fluctuation. At 1 p. no. his pulse was 98, temperature 98 5. respiration 18. At 7 p. m. bis pulse was 102, temperature 100 7, respiration 21 MATTERS IN CHARLESTON. A Young Grain Merchant’* Un accountable Disappearance —'l he South Carolina Railroad—Fighting the New York Pool. Charleston, S. C., July 18. —Sotnj sen sation is caused here by the sudden and un accountable disappearance of L. Muller, a prominent German citizen and grain merchant. Muller leaves a number of debts behind him, aggregating, It is said, between fifteen and twenty thousand dollars, and no assets to speak of. A cumber of lawsuits have been commenced against him. Before leaving be made a bill of sale to his brother, but this has been set aside, and one of the creditors is in possession of his establishment by at tachment. Muller is respectably connected, and the cause of his disappearance is Inexplicable. It is said that he is In Summerville, about twenty miles from this place. A meeting of the holders of the stock of the South Carolina Ktilroad not represented In the New York pool was held here to-day. Tne read Is to be sold on the 2Sih and will probably be purchased by the New York pool, who control a majority of the stock and the second mortgage bouds of tbe road. About 100,000 of tbe stock was represented at tbe meeting, and s’eps were taken to protect the Interests of those holders of stock who are cot in tbe pool. The meet ing adjourned until Friday next. It ts an open secret that the holders of stock not in the New York pool will form a combination to protect themselves, either by bidding on the roal at the sale, or by opposing the confirmation of the sale in the courts.

Dean Stanley Dead-Hradlaugli to Invade tbe House of Commons Tbe “Standard” on the Hock Island Train Robbery—Debate on tbe Laud Bill—lbe State of Cork. London, July 18 —Dean Btanley is dead. The Daily News says: “One of the rules of the House of Commons provides that a pe tition may be brought into the House by a deputation of ten persons, and it is believed that when Mr. Bradlaugh pays his threaten ed visit to the House to demand his Par liamentary tights he will be accompanied by a large number of deputations, each bearing one or more petitions. Several hundred may thus consider that they are entitled to enter the precincts of Parlia ment. The whole subject is now under consideration by the officers of the Hou*e The correspondent of the Times at Durban says: “Affairs in the Transvaal are watched with the grayest anxiety. It Is asserted that the Royal Commission assess the amount to be paid by the Boers at one mil lion two hundred thousand pounds for the old debt and for expenditure on the country since its annexation. The Biers, it is stated, refuse to pay this assess merit, and a mass meeting of the Boers has been summoned for the 10th of Septem ber. It ts abo sta’ed that the commission offered as an alternative to remit £600,000 if the couutry east of the 30th degree of longitude were caied. This also was re fused. There is great uneasiness at Preto rta. It is positively asserted that the natives of Lvdeuburg district are preparing for an outbreak.” The Standard, in an editorial article in its evening edition, says: “The robbery on a railway train in America, an account of which is published to-day, although by no means an uncommon occurrence, happens opportunely, as affording us a reply to American Krlctureß upon the danger of the English plan of separate compartments. The American cars seem specially made for this kind of outrage. With the English system such a wholesale raid is impossible. In any ease one carriage alone could be robbed here before the passengers and officials could or ganiz i resistance. As there is no example of such an event in our railway history, we may assume that the difficulty and danger are so great as to deter even the most daiiDg criminals. The ac’uil danger of murd-ir or robbery is far It s* on the English lines than on the American.” la the House of Commons this afternoon Mr. Gladstone announced the names of Commissioners under tbe laud bill. They are Sergeant O’Hagau, Mr. Edward Fal coner Lkton, Liberal member of Parliament for county Tyrone, and Mr. John E. Ver nou. The Home Rulers received the last name with prolonged groans. Mr. O’Don nell will divide the H mse on each came. Vernon is Lord Pembroke’s agent, and is well knowu in Ireland. The House of Commons again went into cimmittee on tbe land bill to-night. Clauses 42 to 45 inclusive were passed. The discussion of the 46:h clause was begun, when Mr. Gladstone moved to report pro gress. Tbe opposition and Home Rulers opposed this motion until Mr. Glad-tone exp'aimd that tbe object of the motion was to allow ihe House 1o go into committee of supply.

London, July 18. —The B-rliu corres pondent of the Times sys: “Statistics pub lished by the Hamburg police authorities show that the number of German emigrants passing through Hamburg to America from January 1 to June 30, 1881, amounts to 74,633, being twice the number for the same period in the year following the late war between France and Ger many. Tbe figures for such emigration in the corresponding period of last year were 32,489, and the total for the year 106,- 190, so that If emigration proceeds in the same proportions for the second half of 1881, the government will find that, reckon ing the fugitives by other channels, it has lost in 1881 about a'quarter of a million of its most efficient subjects.” llloody Tragedy In the Cherokee Nation.

The North American Review devotes a hun dred and forty three pages of Its August number to a paper by Col. Robert G. Inger -901l on the Christian religion, and the reply to Ingersoll by Judge Black. It need scarce ly be said that Ingersoll makes the strongest presentation of tbe case that tbe side which be takes will admit of, while Judge Black’s defense of the Christian religion, like all his controversial papers, Is written in that vigorous and masterly style in which he has few rivals and no superior. Col. Ingersoll’s motto Is: “In the presence of eternity the mountains are as transient as the clouds,” whilst Judge Black tiles this quotation from the Merchant of Venice: “Gratiano speaks an infinite deal of nothing—more than any man in Venice; his reasons are as two grains of wheat hid in two bushels of chaff; you shall seek all day ere you find them, and when you have them they are not worth the search.” THE CAUSE AND THE ADVOCATE. Mr. Ingersoll Is not, Judge Black says, as some have estimated him, the most formida ble enemy that Christianity has encountered since the time of Julian the Apostate. But he stands at the head of living infidels “by merit raised to that bad eminence.” His mental organization has the peculiar defects which fit for such a place. He is all imagi nation and no discretion. He rises some times into a region of wild poetry, where he can color everything to suit himself. His motto well expresses the character of his ar gumentation: “Mountains are as unstable ns clouds;” a fancy is as good as a fact., and a high sounding period is rather better than a logical demonstration. His inordi nate self-confidence makes him at once feroebus and fearless. He was a practical politician before he “took tbe stump against Christianity,” and at all times has proved his capacity to “split the ears of the ground lings” aud make the unskillful laugh. The article before us is the least objectionable of all his productions. Its style is higher and better suited to the weight of the theme. Here the violence of his fierce invective is moderated; his scurrility gives place to an attempt at sophistry less shocking If not more true, and his coarse jokes are either excluded altogether or else veiled in the de cent obscurity of general terms. Such a paper from such a man, at a time like the present, is not wholly unworthy of a grave contradiction. He makes certain charges which we an swer by an explicit denial, aud thus an issue Is made, upon which, as a pleader would say, we “put ourselves upon the country.” He avers that a certain “something called Christianity” Is a false faith imposed on the world without evidence; that tbe facts tt pretends to rest on are mere inventions; that its doctrines are pernicious; that its re quirements are unreasonable, and that its sanctions are cruel. I deny all this, and as sert on tbe coutrary that Its doctrines are divinely revealed; Its fundamental facts in contestably proved; its morality perfectly free from all taint of error, and its influence most beneficent upon society In general, and upon all individuals who accept itand make It their rule of action. I want a decision upon sound judicial principles. Mr. lugersoll’s first specification against Christianity Is the belief of its disciples “that there is a personal God, the Creator of the material universe.” If God made the world, tt was a most stupendous mira cle, and all miracles, according to Mr. In gersoll’s idea, are “the children of mendaci ty.” To admit the one great miracle of creation would be an admission that other miracles are at least probable, and that would ruin his whole case. But you can not catch the leviathan of atheism with a hook. The universe, he says, is na'ural—tt came into being of its own accord, it made its own laws at the start, and afterward im proved Itself considerably bv spontaneous evolution. It would be a mere waste of time and space to enumerate the proofs which show that the universe was created by a pre existent and self conscious Being, of power and wisdom to us inconceivable. The notion that all things owe their origin and their harmonious arrangement to the fortuitous concurrence of atoms is a kind of lunacv which very few men in these days are affi'eted with. But Mr. Ingersoll asserts that, at all events, this material world had not a good and beneficent Creator; It is a bad, savage, cruel piece of work, with its pestilences, storms, earihquakes and volcanoes; and man, with his liability to sickness, suffering and death, is not a success, but, on the con trary, a failure. To defend the Creator of the world against an arraignment eo foul as this would be almost as unbecoming as to make the accusation. Meantime we do not discredit our mental independence by taking It for granted that the Supreme Being has done all things well. Our ignorance of the whole scheme makes us poor critics upon the small part that comes within our limited perceptions. OBJECTION’S TO MOSAIC LAW. Dismissing in scathing words Colonel Ingersell’s charge against the moral code, Judge Black alludes to his strictures on the civil code of the Jews, which Ingersoll pro nounces so bad and unjust that the law giver by whom it was established must have been as savagely cruel as the Creator that made storms *Dd pestilences; and the work of both was more worthy of a devil than a God: “H s language is recklessly bad, very defective in method, and altogether lacking in precision. I find four objections to the Jewish constitution —not more than four— which are definite enough to admit of an answer. These relate to the provisions of the Mosaic law on the suhjects of (1) Blas phemy and Idolatry; (2) War; (3) Slavery; (4) Polygamy. In these respects he pro nounces the Jewish system not only unwise, but criminally unjust 1 appeal from hts profane malediction to the conscience of men who have a rule to judge by. First, be regards the punishments irfl cl ed for blasphemy and idolatry as be ing immoderately cruel. Considering them merely as religious offenses —as 6ins against God alone —I agree that civil laws should notice them not at all. But sometimes thiyaffctveiy ii jorioutly certain rocial rights which it is the duty of the S'ate to protect. Wantonly to shock the religious feel.ngs ot our neighbor is a grievous wrong. To utter blasphemy or obscenity in the prceence cf a Christian woman is hardly better than to strike her In the face. Still, neither policy nor justice requires them to be ranked among the highest crimes in a government constituted like ours. But things were wholly different under the Jew ish theocracy, where God was the personal head of the State. There blasphemy was a breach of political allegiance: Idolatry was an overt act of treason; to worship the gods of the hostile heathen was deserting to the public enemy and giving him aid aud com fort. IS GOD A TYRANT Mr. Ingersoll not only ignores these con siderations, but he goes the length of call ing God a religious persecutor and a tyrant because He does not encourage and reward the service and devotion paid by His enemies to tbe false gods of the pagan world. He proposes to believe that all kinds of worehip are equally meritorious, and should meet the same acceptance from tbe true God. It is almost incredible that such drivel as this should be uttered by anybody. “A CARNIVOROUS AMERICAN FULL OF BEEF.” As to tbe sacrificial solemnities of the Jewish religion and tbeir manner of making war, “the killing of those animals was,” he says, “a terrible system,” a “shedding of innocent blood,” “shocking to a refined and sensitive soul.” There is such a depth of tenderness in this feeling and such a splendor of refinement that I give up with out a struggle to the superiority of tbe man who merely profeesi s it. A carnivorous American, full of beef and mutton, who mourns with indignant sorrow because bulls and goats were killed in Judea three thou saod years ago, has reached the climax of sentimental goodness and should be per mitred to dictate on all questions of peace aud war. Let Grotius, Vaite) and Puffen dorf, as well as M: see and tbe prophets, hide tneir diminished beads. But to show how inefficacious, for all practical purposes, a mere sentiment Is when substituted for a principle, it is only necessary to recollect that Mr. Ingersoll is himself a war rior who stayed not behind the mighty men of his tribe when they gathered themselves together for a war of conquest He took the lead of a regiment as eager as himself to spoil the Philistines, “and out be went a colonelling.” How many Amalek itee and Hittites and Amorites he put to the edge of the sword, how many wives he widowed, or how many mothers he “un babed” cannot now be told. Ido not even know how many droves of Innocent oxen be condemned to tbe slaughter. But It is cer tain that his refined and tender soul took great pleasure in the terror, conflagration, blood and tears with which the war was at- ESTABLISHED 1850. tended and In all the hard oppressions which the conquered people were made to suffer afterward. If his own conduct (for which he professes neither penitence nor shame) was right. It was right on grounds which maue it an inexcusable outrage to call the children of Israel savage criminals for carry ing n wars of aggression to save the life of their government. A3 TO BLAVBBY. As to slavery, Mr. Ingersoll’s objection that Jehovah permitted his chosen people to hold the captives they took in war or pur chased from the heathen as servants for life, it is answered that the infallible God in so doing proceeded upon good grounds, and that when a Jew took a neighboring savage for his bondservant, incorporated him into bis family, trained him, taught him to work and gave him a knowledge of the true Go’, he conferred upon him a most benefleient boon. Polygamy is another of his objec tions to the Mosaic constitution Strange tosav.it is not there. It is neither com manded nor prohibited; it Is only discour aged. If Mr. Icgersoll were a statesman instead of a mere politician he would see good and sufficient reason for the forbear ance to legislate directly upon the subject. He knows probably that the influence of the Chris'ian Church alone, and without the aid of State enactments, has extirpated his bad feature of Asiatic manners wherever its doctrines were carried. I will present some of the considerations which would compel me, were I Judge or juror in the cause, (the acceptance of Christianitv,) to decide it just as it was de elded originally. First. There is no good reason to doubt that the statements of the evangelists, as we have them now, are genuine. The multiplication of copies was a sufficient guarantee against any material alteration of the text. Mr. logersoll speaks of interpolations made by the fathers of the Church. All he knows and all he has ever heard on that subject Is that some of the innumerable transcripts contained er rors which were discovered and corrected. That simply proves the present Integrity of the documents. Second. I call these state ments depositions, because they are entl led to that kind of credence which we give to declarations made under oath—t u‘ a much higher degree, for they are more than sworn to. They were made in the immediate prospect of death. Perhaps this would not affect the conscience of an a'heigt-wneitber would an oath —but these people manifestly believe in a judgment after death, before a God of truth, whose displeasure tbev feared above all things. Third. The witnesses could not have been mistaken. The nature of the facts precluded the possibility of auy delusion about them. For every averment they bad “the sensible and true avouch of their own eyes” and ears. Besides, they were plain-thinking, sober, unimaginative men, who. unlike Mr. Ingersoll, al ways, under all circumstances, and especially In the presence of eter nity, recognized the difference be tween mountains and clouds. It is inconceivable how any fact could be proved by evidence more conclusive thau the state ment of such persons, publicly given and steadfastly persisted in through every kind of persecution—imprisonment and torture to the last agonies of a lingering death. Fourth. Apart from these terrible tests, the more ordinary claims to credibility are not wanting. They were men of unimpeacha ble character. The most virulent enemies of the cause they spoke and died for have never suggested a reason for doubting their personal honesty. But there is affirmative proof that they and their fellow disciples were held by those who knew them in the highest estimation for truthfulness. Wher ever they made their report, it was not only believed, but believed with a faith so im pllclt that thousands were ready at oncelo seal It with their blood. Fifth. The tone and temper of their narrative impress us with a sentiment of profound respect. It does not appear that the statements of the evangelists were ever denied by any person who pretended to know the facts. What we call the fundamental truths of Christianity consist of great public events which are sufficiently established by history without special proof. From the facts established by this evi dence it follows irresistibly that the Gospel has come to us from God. That silences all reasoning about the wisdom and j -stice of its doctrines, since it is impossible even to imagine that wrong can be done or com manded by that Sovereign Being whose will alone is the ultimate standard of all justice. Judge Black, after making a number of quotations from Colonel Ingersoll, such as “the punishment of sinners in eternal hell is excessive,” “Christians have been guilty of wanton and wicked persecution,” “ihe Gospel of Christ does not satisfy the hunger of the heart,” “Christianity is pernicious in its moral effect,” concludes that Mr. Inger so)l, as a zealous apostle of the “gospel of dirt,” must throw a good deal of mud, and adds: “When I answer that all we have of virtue, justice, intellectual liberty, moral elevation, refinement, benevolence and true wisdom came to us from that source which he reviles as the fountain of all evil, I am not merely putting one assertion agalnstthe other, for I have the advantage of speaking what every tolerably well informed naan knows to be true.” An eloquent peroration on the Christian religion concludes Judge Black’s article in this striking and full souled language: “This religion has comedown to us through the ages, attended all the way by righteous ness, justice and temperance, mercy, trans parent truthfulness, exulting hope and wbite winged charity. Never was its influ ence for good more plainly perceptible than now. It has not converted, purified and reformed all men, for its first principle is the freedom of the human will, and there are those who chose to reject it. But to the mass of mankind, directly and indirectly, it has brought uncounted benefits and bless ings Abolish it—take away the restraints which it imposes on evil passions—silence the admonitions of Its preachers—iet all Christians cease their labors of charity— blot out from history the records of Its heroic benevolence—repeal the laws It has enacted and the institutions it has built up—let its moral principles be abandoned and all Its mlrael -8 of light, be extinguished—what would we come to? I need not answer this questlor; the exper iment has been partially tried. The French nation formally renounced Christianity, de nied the existence of the Supreme Being, and so satisfied the hunger of the infidel heart for a time. What followed? Univer sal depravity, garments rolled In blood, fan tastic crimes unimagined before, which startled the earth with thetr sublime atroci ty. The American people have and ought to have no special desire to follow that ter rible example of guilt and misery. “It is impossible to discuss this subject within the 1 mits of a review. No doubt the f ffort to be short has made me obscure. If Mr. Ingersoll thinks himself wronged or bis doctrines misconstrued let him not lay my fault at the door of the church, or cast ht 6 censure on the clergy. “Album qui feet in me eonvertiU ferrum.” A Big Grading Plow. The largest grading plow ever con structed for any railroad company in this country will be delivered to the Chi cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Company next week. Its weight is 2,500 pounds, the laDdside and share alooe weighing 750 pounds. The mold board is 9 feet long, 26 inches wide, and weighs 180 pounds; landside 6 by 2 inches, and 9 feet long; share, 6 feet lony, 15 inches wide, and half an inch thick; standard, 8 feet and 8 inches long, 18 inches deep and 10 inches thick. The coulter weighs 200 pounds. The clevis is of thickly wrought iron, and measures 5 feet in lecgth. The plow is to be drawn by a locomotive running on a temporary track, and is calculated to handle more dirt than two thousand men could. It will be used by the construction forces on the extension of the Dakota and Hastings division of the road. Lord Colin Campbell’s Marriage. —A recent London cable dispatch contains the following announcement: “Lord Colin Campbell is to marry Miss Gertrude Blood to-morrow week. The Princess Louise will attend the wed ding.” To this the New York Sun adds the following: “The lady here referred to is the daugnter of Mrs. Victoria Wbodhull-Blood, formerly of this city, and at one time editor of Woodhuli Clafliu's Weekly, well known for her ad vocacy ol advanced theories of women’s rights and as a candidate for the office of President of the United States in the campaign of 1872. Mrs. Woodhull- Biocid was, we believe, divorced from Colonel Blood, and now writes her name as Mrs. Victoria Woodhuli. The be trothal of Lord Colin Campbell to Miss Blood was announced some time ago,but the reDort was generally discredited. Mrs. Blood’s sister, Miss Claflin, was associated with Mrs. Woodhuli as an editor and a platform speaker. In addi tion to her other labors, Mrs. Blood is the author of an elaborate treatise on finance. Lord Colin Camptwll is the fifth son of the Duke of Jfrgyll, and brother of the Governor General of Canada. He is brother-in-law to the Princess Louise, fourth daughter of queen Victoria.” THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENT. Hw Representation According to Population la a Thing Unknown.

The New York World, in an editorial article 01 electoral representation in England, gives the following facts: “The reform act of 1832 went it long way towards the realization of the old" Whig dream of representation by population. Nearly 60 rotten boroughs were disfran chised and the representation of 30 more was reduced from two members to one. Bbe shipping of the world. “Their effort to kill our California ship trade,” says the Maritime Register, “will defeat itself, for it will have to contend with rivals who are like the teeth sown by Cadmus.” A Man Killed by a Tigek.— Martia Troxell, the employe of Sells Bros.’ menagerie, who was bitten by a tiger at Bellaire, on July 21, died from his wounds. Troxell said that he went into the ring to take out one of the elephants and that as he passed the tiger’s cage the animal caught him by the hand or wrist and continued to draw him toward the cage until the entire arm had been hor ribly lacerated. Dr. Gilliam is of the opinion that- life might have been saved by amputation made at the date of the accident or soon after. When Troxell arrived here amputation was out of the question. —Columbia (Ohio) Herald.

Somebody has drawn attention to the fact that not a single Ohio man did a stroke of work in the revision. In plain words, it is not the "Ohio idea,” and that must make an end of it We learn that Dr. Thomas Burdell, a distinguished physician and very highly esteemed citizen of Burke county, Ga., died at Waynesboro, after a lingering illness, on Friday morning last, the 15th inst He was extensively known in this city, having served here for some time during the war as ordnance officer.

Now they want a national marriage law, so that people who cannot be mar ried in one State shall not be able to find a convenient Gretna Green right across the borders in the next It is needless to say that this demand comes from the unfeeling male monsters of the West. The thousands of hopeless spinsters of New England think that marriage is hard enough to accomplish now without setting up new difficulties in the way of the ambitious. The Pittsburg Post, referring to Ken tucky’s day of fasting and prayer for the recovery of the President, says: "This is all very well; but it somewhat con flicts with Governor Foster’s arrange ment, through a committee of Gover nors, for a day of general thanksgiving on the President’s recovery. Asa rule Americans don’t take to fasting, but are alert and vivacious on Thanksgiving day with its concomitants. That Kentucky should fast and pray while other S rates are preparing for feasting, jollity and thanksgiving is one of the marvels of the time.” Secretary Windom is quoted as saying: “Nothing, to my mind, conveys so re alizing a sense of the great national calamity as the fact that for nearly one whole week the office-seeker restrained himself, and for the time being aban doned his request for office. That re vealed to me a sublimity of private self denial under the presence of a great pub lic sorrow which I would never have discovered or believed under any other circumstances; and it showed better than everything else how deeply the souls of men were stirred. But it is not likely to last. The office-seeker is abroad again, and he appears to have lost ntthing of his pertinacity or vigor." The clamor of Republican organs for a Republican alliance with the Virginia repudiators is noticeable in more ways than one. These organs know that the proportion of property owners among the Virginia repudiators is very small in deed. The repudiation movement is a movement of sharp demagogues who want to get power and office. The ne groes have been urged to wage a war fare against the capitation tax of one dollar. This tax goes to the school fund to support the public schools. The Re publican organs, therefore, not only in dorse the repudiation of about $20,000,- 000 principal and interest of Virginia’s debt, but aid and abet a war ag linst the system of public education in the State. The Pension Commissioner, Mr. Dud ley, has already commenced the very alight task of proving himself a partisan whose one idea of the public service is that it is maintained by the people solely for the profit of his political party. He hAS dismissed 200 employes of the Pen sion Office, not because they ire incom petent or dishonest or untrustworthy, but simply because their “political records” are, in Dudley's opinion, “du bious." This is a point blank defiance of the public sentiment in favor of the abolition of such partisan procedures, which has been raised by the attempted assassination of the President. It justi fies the opinion expressed at the time of Dudley's appointment, that it was a re ward for dirty political services and cal culated to bring about a reorganization of the Pension Bureau in the interest of a certain Presidential candidacy. The newly taken census of England shows that the depopulation of the rural parishes, which has beeu in progress for many years, is still going on, while the cities are growing. The worst feature of this important change is the fact that it is largely due to the action of noble men and squires, who with a highhanded exercise of the rights of property, im prove hamlets and old houses off their estates altogether, and refuse sites for the erection of villas, and still more of dwellings for the laboying classes. They thus drive many worthy poor into the alms house, and deprive large numbers of people of their natural right to a home in the country, if they prefer it. One consequence of this policy is a gradual transfer of political power to the cities, which in time may be turned with irre sistible force upon the at! hah policy of the aristocracy and compel a redistribu tion if Ute land. The Penitentiary Report. We have received the report of the special penitentiary committee, appoint ed by authority of the resolution which passed the House of Representatives on the 4th day of December, 1880. The report is a clear statement of the convict system of Georgia, and embodies the conclusions arrived at by the committee after personal inspection of all the camps. The abuses noted by the com mittee are of detail rather than of eye tem, and the report shows that Georgia s treatment and disposal of convicts is quite as humane and judicious as those of other States. The committee report that they visited all the camps and found the convicts engaged in farm labor, railroad building and mining. In all the camps the separation of the sexes is effected and the criminals are supplied with good food, though complaint is made by the criminals in some instances of an in sufficient allowance. In several camps there is a defective water supply, which interferes with cleanliness. Complaint Is made of severe corporeal punishment, though, where it is excessive, the parties inflicting it are discharged. The con victs also complain of long hours of labor, alleging that they are compelled to make twelve and fourteen hours daily and have little rest Medical attendance is had at the camps usually twice a week, and the food is wholesome, gen erally well cooked and all the camps are Supplied with vegetable gardens. The committee find that only two days per month are allowed the convicts for good behavior, whereas the act of 1874 re quires that four days for each month be allowed for good conduct The committee found an aggregate of 1.20$ convicts employed in the camps. They noticed cases where cruel treat ment occurred, and where sick convicts were compelled to work, and had sev eral removed to the quarters. The re port is based on observation and the tes timony of prisoners themselves, and, while admitting abuses, it rebukes the mawkish sentimentality that is ever prating of the convict’s hard lot, and which recently, by its unbridled excesses, assailed the gold name of the State. The committee conclude, as the result of their observation, that the system needs a central authority to supervise all persons, ompanies and corporations, holding the convicts of the State under lease or otherwise, with power to frame suitable regulations for the government aod control of said convicts, and that an officer of the State should be at each camp to stand between the convict and the lessee and to enforce the rules of the central authority. They further con clude that in the system, as at present constituted, there is nothing that tends to the reformation of the criminal. To meet and remedy existing evils in the system, they leport a bill for the better inspection, management and con trol of the convicts of the State. A perusal of the bill satisfies us that the proposed measure is likely to accom plish little more than the multiplication of the parts of the system without add ing to the simplicity or efficiency of its workings. Cruelty is practiced by the guards employed by the lessees, but how it will be sensibly diminished by the employment of wardens under the authority of a board of control the bill does not make manifest. The creation of such a board, which, to be effective, would have to be sup plied with a large force of subordinates, would entail an expense upon the State not justified by the character of the evils complained of. The cases of cruelty adverted to by the committee, and we cannot see that the committee has kept back anything or sought to shield any one, are such as would arise in the best regulated institutions. While many con victs may be amiable, docile, industri ous and possessed of other commendable virtues, the average criminal needs dis cipline, and not unfrequenlly severe punishment. A committee of the Legis lature and the grand inquests of the counties where the camps are located, could master the requirements of the situation quite as effectually as a high salaried commission with an army of deputies, who would have to go to the Legislature for their authority and vin dication. It is time that our criminal classes were taught that the primary object of punishment is the prevention of crime. To the shiftless proletariat turned loose upon the State by the great social up heaval the jail has long since lost its ter rors, since to the average vagabond it is a haven of refuge. The people have a right to compensation at the hands of convicts for the harm and expense their misdeeds entail upon society. Confine ment within stone walls, where useful trades may be taught the criminals, has much to commend it, but it warrants complaints from orderly, law-abiding mechanics far more just than the mawk ish chidings and reproaches that are heaped on the present convict system of Georgia. It would be well if the gangs could be concentrated on some great State work, such as draining Okeefenokee swamp or some commensurate public enterprise. The convicts could be kept under a central supervision, and abuses, if not eradicated, could be largely diminished. But as the great bulk of our convicts must be employed in diversified labor, we can see nothing better than our pres ent system so controlled, without com plicating it further, as to warrant the correction of serious abuses, if such really exist, a fact which the commit tee’s report nowhere discloses. What ever is done, we trust the day is far distant when pseudo philanthropy will be permitted to put a premium on crime by smoothing the path of the criminal after leaving the dock. Soil Burning Out. For about two months a dense smoke on the Carolina 6ide of Savannah river has been visible every day from this city, and once or twice during that period, the wind setting in this direction, has filled our streets with the disagreeable odor of burning vegetable matter. On inquiry we learn that the smoke arises from the burning of the turf or peat of the rice fields in that locality, which took fire during the dry weather in May, and soon made such progress as to defy all attempts to extinguish it. The Delta, Cheves and Proctor plantations, we are told.have already suffered greatly, while every day increases the damage to an alarming extent. Large areas of the rich peat soil of those valuable planta tions have already been burnt out down to the wet sea level, entailing damage to the soil that will require centuries to repair. The Courier Journal suggests that, as the Republicans seem to be in a peni tent mood, it would be a good idea for a tew of them who have money to put up a fund to cover the deficiency in the Freedman’s Bank’s account with its de positors. When Zaccheus, the publican, repented of his sin*, he called up every man he had swindled and restored fourfold. The Gubernatorial Canvass In Ohio The Republican attack upon the Ohio Democratic nominee for Governor, Hon. John W. Bookwalter, has commenced so early and so vigorously as to indicate on the part of his assailants a strong ap prehension of his election. So far, only one charge is brought against him, viz., that he bought the nomination, and as this is based solely upon the fact that he is wealthy, it is not worthy of serious at tention. It is, however, somewhat amusing to find the Ohio Republicans, whose present nominee for Governor bought his election last year and hopes to buy his re-election this year, denounc ing the Democratic nominee on an un supported suspicion that he bought his nomination. Mr. Bookwalter is the proprietor of a large turbine-wheel manufactory. He is of German descent, and has accumulated a large fortune in the manufacture of the Leffel turbine wheel. He owns the largest hotel in Springfield, Ohio,and is just about finish ing a large opera house there. One of the finest business blocks in the place was built by him. He is a large land owner m Illinois and Nebraska, and his great sheep ranch at Mission Creek in the latter State is well known through out the West. In 1871 he founded and edited a paper called the Mechanical Metes. He is said to own the finest pic ture gallery west of the Alleghanies. Mr. Bookwalter was originally a Repub lican, and remained so until 1872, when he joined in the Greeley movement. He has since been a Democrat, but has not been in active politics. When reports were current last fall that the Republi can manufacturers of Springfield were bringing to bear pressure to make their workmen vote the Republican ticket, Mr. Bookwalter called his men together and told them that, while he was himself a Democrat, he did not wish to have that fact influence the vote of any man em ployed by him. He is very popular with the workingmen of the State. Cincinnati Industrial Exposition. We have received the annual circular of the Cincinnati Industrial Exposition of Manufactures, Products and the Arts, together with the premium list, rules and regulations, etc., of the ninth annual Exposition, which will be held in Cin cinnati September 7th to October Bth, 1881. Articles competing for premiums must be receipted for by the Secretary and in position on or before September 7th. No articles can ba entered unless previous application has been made on the printed form. All entries not in cluded in the premium list will be for exhibition only. No charge will be made for space, but each exhibitor (ex cepFamateurs and exhibitors in the Fine Arts and Natural History department) will be required to pay an entry fee of two dollars. Exhibitors competing for more than one premium (except in the horticultural department) ■hall pay two dollars for each additional premium. The exhibits will be arranged in nine departments, under eighty nine classes, and the display will be in every sense an exposition embracing every thing of value in the lines of industry and the fine arts. The department of horticulture invites the widest range of exhibits in the way of fruits and flowers, cut flowers and floral designs. Ii is free to all, with the stipulation that exhibitors must be the actual owners of the goods displayed. The Board of Commissioners of the Exposition is made up of representatives from the Chamber of Commerce and Board of Trade of Cincinnati, and the Ohio Mechanics’ Institute. In view of the close relations between the South and the Ohio metropolis, the exhibition should awaken interest in this section. The previous displays have been highly successful, and the coming Exposition would prove diverting to returning Southerners and will repay all who may attend it. The magnificent Exposition Hall, where the display will be arranged, af fords unsurpassed facilities for the pur poses of the Exposition, and everything can be arranged to the best advantage. Full particulars as to space, exhibits, premiums, rules and regulations will be furnished on application to the Secre tary, J. R. Murdoch, Esq. The National Debt. The amount of interest paid by the people of the United States on the na tional debt, since 1805, is $1,764,435,000. Besides this enormous amount they have paid on the principal $758,657,395, making an aggregate payment on ac count of principal and interest of $2,- 523,092,395. The present interest bear ing debt of the country is $1,622,872,- 900. We have paid at the rate of over $168,000,000 per annum. If the people, now numbering fifty millions, should elect to pay as large an amount per an num as the average annual payments of the past fifteen years, when they num bered only from thirty-five millions and upwards, the debt would be wiped out in little over ten years. In fact, remarks the St. Louis Republican, if Congress should determine to substitute a non in terest bearing debt for the national bank issue now abroad, the national burden would melt away like snow before a July sun, and could be made to disappear in less than a decade. The debt per capita in 1865 was S7B 25, and the amount of interest to be paid per capita per annum $4 29. Now the debt per capita is $37 74, and the annual interest to be paid per capita is $1 56. Financiers abroad note this achievement with won der. Another Veto. —Governor Cornell, of New York, has vetoed the bill appro priating $500,000 for continuing work on the new State capitol building, which promises to cost $25,000,000 before it is completed. Governor Cornell bases bis objections to the bill on sound financial grounds. The money is not needed for immediate expenditure. Last year’s ap propriation was $1,600,000, and the pre sent legislature has appropriated $1,000,- 000, which will carry on the work as far as this may be required. The tax levy is already made, and the additional half million now demanded cannot be raised without borrowing, and as the unfinish ed work will not be suspended, but slightly delayed, architects and builders may wait until the latest appropriation is exhausted before asking for more. A Priest on “Pope Ingersoll.”— Some alleged sneers of Mr. Robert Inger soll against prayers for the President have elicited a letter from Rev. F. X. Wenin ger. D. D., to the Milwaukee Sentinel, in which the Reverend Father uses some rather strong language towards “Pope Ingersoll,” as he calls him, and says: “IngersoU’s indecent attack upon relig ion is an outrage which shocks the in telligence, piety and moral sense of all respectable people. It shows, moreover, that he is sadly deficient in good judg ment; but this is not surprising, because long &ince he has practically proved himself to belong to the followers of Darwin, and to haye no more knowledge of his Creator than a Bazilian monkey.” Arthur Fenrhyn Stanley. "Dean Stanley is dead” is the brief announcement that heralds the death of the foremost churchman of the Anglican Communion. As leader of the “Broad Church” party, he wielded an in fluence such as few have exercised in recent years. His scholarly attain ments gave his opinions great value, and it is not too much to say that by the religious mind of England he was regarded as the Gladstone of the church. As Dean of Westminster he has been brought into prominence in connection with the obsequies of Eng land’s great ment and it is more than likely that he too will sleep in the vener able Abbey to which he saw not a few consigned. Arthur Penrhyn Stanley was born at Alderley, Cheshire, December 13, 1815. He was the son of Dr. Edward Stanley, rector of Alderley, and later Bishop of Norwich, author of the “Familiar His tory of Birds.” The son was edu cated at Rugby and graduated in 1835 at University College, Oxford, where he subsequently resided for twelve years as tutor. In 1851 he was appoint ed Canon of Canterbury and was Regiust Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Oxford from 1856 to 1864, when he was made Dean of Westminster. He has published “The Life and Cor respondence of Thomas Arnold, D. D.,” the famous head master of Rugby, whom Hughes has immortalized in “Tom Brown.” This has passed through numerous editions and been translated into numerous foreign languages. Be sides this work he published “Sermons and Essays on the Apostolic Age;” “The Epistles of St. Paul to the Corinthians,” with critical notes and dissertations; “Historical Memorials of Canterbury Cathedral;” “Sinai and Palestine in Connection with Their History;” “Lectures on the History of the Eastern Church; Lectures on the History of the Jewish Church;” The Bible; Its Form and Substance;” “Scripture Portraits and Other Miscella nies;” “Historical Memorials of West minster Abbey;” “The Three Irish Churches; a Historical Address;” “Essays on Church and State;” “The Athanasian Creed’’ and “Lectures on the History of the Church of Scotland. In November, 1874, he was elected Lord Rector of the University of St. Andrews. For several years he had been the spiritual adviser of Her Majesty the Queen. The character aud scope of his writings stamped him as a thorough scholar, and his high rank as a theologian was conceded. He was known on both con tinents, and during his stay in America preached in several Episcopal pulpits. His loss will be deeply felt in England, and will be deplored by the religious world generally. New York’s New Half Bresd Senator. The election of Warner Miller to the United Slates Senate will give additional strength to the protectionist element in that body. He is a prominent member of the pulp ring, saddling newspaper publishers and book publishers with a heavy tribute to keep up the pulp mo nopoly’s treasury. Last year the New York Evening Post, which is now com pelled to support Miller because he is a half-breed Republican, said about him: “When his constituents elected Mr. Warner Miller they perhaps thought they were selecting "a man to look after their interests in Congress in respect to finance, economy in public administra tion and other political matters. They were mistaken. The only finances about which Mr. Miller has troubled himself are his own finances; the only question of economy to which he has given any thought is the economy of his own pulp and paper establishments, and be has not allowed political matters to stand for a moment in the way of his private profits. Miller and his associates have been enabled to enrich themselves by the duty on pulp and other paper making materials. His first interest in life— official as well as individual life—has, therefore, been to keep this duty on the statute book. He has voted steadily in the House of Representatives to prevent the consideration of tariff measures, and he has presented the disgraceful spectacle of a member of Congress before the Committee of Ways and Means, en deavoring, by specious arguments and false statements, to further his own pe cuniary interest and to pocket more dol lars belonging to the public,in addition to the stock of dollars of which the public has already been virtually robbed. Mil ler has labeled himself with his own pa per as the Great Pulp Monopolist. He ought to carry the label through the next canvass, if he ventures to make another, and when the people whom he has mis represented gather joyfully at his po litical burial, they may well inscribe this epitaph upon his dishonored tomb stone: ‘Here lies one who did the same at Washington, and was always faithful to his duty—the duty on pulp.’ A Bankers* Convention. Next month a convention of bankers assembles at Niagara Falls, and among the questions to be considered by it is the future of the national bank system. The importance of this subject is stated as follows by the New York Timet (Rep.): “The time is not far distant when, by the natural course of events, the country will be compelled to choose between a paper currency issued by the govern ment aDd subject to the control, more or less arbitrary, of Congress, and a cur rency issued by the banks, under the re straining provisions of Federal law. Two facts hasten the approach of this decisive period. One is the fact that the charter term of most of the national banks will expire with the next few years; the second is the fact that the public bonded debt, which forms the essential security for banking circulation, is being rapidly reduced in amount, while the in terest "on it is also being cut down to a point where the issue of currency upon it, considering the taxes to be paid, will no longer be profitable. As the privi lege of issuing currency is absolutely the only thing which makes banking practi cable under the Federal law, because it i9 the only consideration offered for com pliance with all the restrictions and con ditions imposed by that law, it is obvi ous that as the bank charters expire they will not be renewed unlesc the situation is such as to make national banking profitable. If they be not renewed, the alternatives in the matter of currency which will be presented will be paper money issued by the Federal Govern ment or the repeal of the present tax on State bank circulation.” A New Opera. —Rubenstein’s “II Demonio” has just been brought out in Cos vent Garden Theatre, London, under the composer’s own direction. The audience was an unusually brilliant one, partly, no doubt, owing to the fact that this was the first attempt to produce one of bis operas on the Englisn stage. The libretto is founded upon Lermon toff’s fantastic poem of the same name, which deals with the love ot the Prince of Darkness for an earthly maiden, and to it Rubenstein is said to have written some of his most characteristic music— all through the opera, however, showing his strong predilection for the national airs of his country, Russia. The choruses are of a pronounced Slavonic type, and the music, while belonging to no particular school, is, like his orches tral music, Rubenstein’s own. The composer was called six times before the curtain. Dr. Bliss is known among his profes sional brethren as “Condurango Bliss,” since he fathered that pretentious reme dy for cancer, which has been condemn ed by the leading medical societies of the world. He expects to make a big reputation by this White House business if he can bluff off the other doctors. Cotton. Nets York Banker and Broker. It is everywhere admitted that present indications point to an enormous cotton crop. The largest crop ever grown is foreshadowed by the increase of 4 to 7 per cent, in the acreage planted and the generally propitious weather that has thus far favored the plant, while the amount of fertiliz rs ana cultivation em ployed are known to be beyond all pre cedent. Giving proper importance to these facts, without attempting ourselves to reduce any estimate to figures, it seems reasonable to predict an enormous crop. Popular estimates in this country place the yield at seven million bales, while operators abroad do not think that seven and a quarter million bales is an extravagant figure upon which to base calculations. The arrival of new cotton is already reported. Last ydar the receipts at the ports, especially the Gulf ports, were very tardy, being hindered by bad weather even as late as February. At this time, with the recent favorable weather, cotton is well advanced, and the promise is good for early and full receipts from the start. Assuming that the supply will be much larger than ever before known, it beccmes interest ing to consider the question of demand. American spinners hold about one hun dred thousand bales more than they held at this time last year. The continent or Europe is reported to have about one hundred and fifty seven thousand bales in invisible supply more than that of last year, while the visible supply shows an excess of fifty-nine thousand bales. There is, however, a decrease shown in the reserve supply of English spinners, but the large excess in the visible supply is believed to be a sufficient offset, that leaves no cause for. apprehension. It is generally urged that owing to good trade cotton is not dear at the current figures. Consumption is undoubtedly large; it is at its maximum. But it is the unexampled activity of English spinners during the past year that has produced a glut in the goods markets of India and China,and it is im portant to consider whether or not Eng lish manufacturers, in the face of these facts, will pay present prices for Ameri can cotton, especially as it is to them alone that we can look for an early mar ket. Moreover the grain crops of Europe are in a promising condition, and there may be a consequent falling off in the demand for American grain, while with reduced exports of cotton more limited shipments of gold are not improbable. It is on every hand admitted that the outlook is generally “bearish” on cotton, but in the face of everything the ten dency of the market, both in New York and Liverpool, is for the present upward, unde? the influence of speculative man ipulation. Australia suffers from both animal and vegetable plagues. It has groaned under a rabbit pest, and a kind of wa tercress, which somebody thought would be “such a good thine,” but which has served admirably to choke upstreams; and now it is in mortal dread of the lantana, a shrub resembling a gigantic raspberry bush, which was imported as a garden ornament from Franee. Birds like the seed and scatter it in all direc-i -tions, and the shrub threatens to grow densely and become a perfect nuisance. JM.

The lecture room of the Independent Presbyterian Church was last evening filled with an intelligent and cultured audience, gathered to hear the concert announced to be giTcn by Miss Punebe Looker, of Virginia, a lady who was born blind, and who has, by a deter mined will, succeeding In thoroughly edu cating herself, and who last evening gave practical evidence of her ability to read and write almost as fluently as those more fa vored. Miss Looker was assisted on this occasion by some of the bdlt musical talent In the city, and the concert was highly en joyable, Mr. Henry I. Solomons, aa ac complished performer, presiding at the piano. Toe entertainment opened with an In strumental piece, “Alleghany Galop,” played very finely by Miss Looker. Mr. J. A Bates then sang with excellent effect, being ac compacted by Mr. Solomons on the piano, the popular song recently Issued by Messrs. Ludden Jfc Bates entitled “On the Rappa "'haunock.” Miss Looker sang with great feeling “The Blind Girl’s Song.” Mr. E. B. Peak favored the audience with “The Battle of Prague,” after which the “Corin thian Waltx” was played by MUs Looker. The most interesting portion of the exer cises followed. Mips Looker had four books of the New Testament—Matthew, Mark, Luke and John—printed with raised letters, and when any particular verse was called for, would turn over the leaves, run along the letters with her fingers until the verse was found, and read it iff rapidly. The writing, which was done with a pecu liar Instrument, raising the letters on the paper, was equally Interesting. After these exercises Miss Looker played “Through the Wood,” and the ent* rlaln xnent was brought to a close with a song, "Faith and Hope,” by Mr. J. A. Bites, and "Plant Sweet Flowers on My Grave,” by Miss Looker. The explanation of the man ner of instructing the blind was quite inter esting. A collection was taken up at the cloae of the entertainment, and quite a neat sum was realized. Funeral of 31r. Thornit Arkwright. The funeral of Mr. Thomas Arkwright, whose death on Saturday night has been mentioned In these columns, took place yea terday morning from his late residence, 81 Barnard street, and was very largely at tended.

A ccmmlt.ee of the Ford Amateur Dramatic Association were also present in a carriage. The pall bearers were Messrs. P. H. Ward, C. 8. Mai lette, T. H. B olshaw and Col. K D. Walker, representing the St. George’s Society, and Privates Wm. Price, Segur, tiledden aid Walker from the Guards. The Interment took place at Bonaventure Cemetery. A Slight Collision lu the River. Yesterday about noon, as a tug was tow ing the schooner David W. Hunt down the river to sea, a slight collision with a fl it occurred when opposite the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway wharves. The fiat was laden with rosin and was being pro pelled up the river, and the hands being unable to manage her she struck against the right forward side of the schooner, raislcg her anchor several feet. The collision was not forcible and no eerions damage was done, but as the fiat floated up with the tide the anchor fell, knocking over three barrels of rosin, which sank promptly to tbe bottom of the river and were not recovered. This was the only lose occasioned by the collision. ShooiluK Affray at a Picnic. The Social Friends Society, colored, had a picnic yesterday at Way’s Station, Sa vannah, Florida and Western Railway, which was largely attended. Daricg the day a difficulty occurred between some of the parties, tbe origin of which we did not learn. The affray resulted, however, In the shooting of Thomas Gray in tbs thigh. The wound is not serious, tbs ball havlog passed through the flesh. The party who aid the shooting Is a negro mined Roberts, who Is employed on the turpentine planta tion Of Mr. J. H. Ellis. Tnere were no ar rests. and with the exception of this diffi culty, the day passed off quietly and pleas antly. Redaction la ike Price of Fboto graphs.

We had a pleasant call from Mr. Rhodes last evening. Swimming In ibe River— Naughty Boy*. Notwithstanding the arrests that have been made and tbe known fact that it is a violation of the ordinances of the city, there are a number of white and colored boys who will persist In swimming and bathing In the river. The point selected for their aquatic dlvertlsement is between the Lower Cotton Press and Jones’ shipyard. They are not satisfied to remain in the water, but when steamers crowded with passengers are passing to and fro, they run In a nude state upon the bank in full view and act outrageously. There have been numerous complaints on the subject, and we have been requested to suggest that the police be instructed to give particular attention to the locality named. The practice should be etoppedi Condensed Time Card and Price Ll*t. We have received from William Bren, Eq the popular ticket agent, on Bull street, a copy of the condensed time card and price list to all tbe attractive reports in Northeastern Georgia, Upper South Caro lina, Western North Carolina and the Vir ginia springs, Morehead City, N.

We learn that on Saturday night, while some men were engaged at tbe wharvea of the Savannah, Florida and Western Rail way in lowering some barrels of rosin from the wharf to a lighter, the ropes parted and one of the barrels commenced to fall. A colored man was directly in the line of its descent, and but for his promptness the heavy bairel, weighing three hundred pounds, would have struck him plump on tbe head, and probably killed him outright. As he saw the rope breaking, however, he acted on Impulse and sprang Into the river, and thus escaped. 4 A Runaway Nag. On Sunday night about ten o’clock a gentleman hitched a horse which, was at tached to a buggy, to a post on the corner of Broughton and East Broad streets. The animal became frightened in some way and rattled eff down East Broad street In a full gallop, la his wild career the buggy struck against a post, and was badly wreck ed, and the harness was torn loose from the affrighted animal. The horse continued on down the street towards the Bay, where he wae captured by some bqld citizen. Superior Court.

Shot In the Bre**t. A difficulty occurred on the Pine Barren road,near the New Hope place, on Saturday, between a white man named Bamuel Shtffall and a colored man named Benjamin White, in which the latter was shot In the breast.

Hashed by a Barrel of Roaln. Yesterday morning a colored man named Grant was very painfully injured whilst at work at the wharves of the Bavannab, Flori da and Western Railway. He was assisting some other men in sliding barrels of rosin down a skid, when one of them tumbled off, and striking Grant upon tbe hand, mashed It very badly. He was incapacitated for further work and was compelled to seek a physician to have tbe hand dressed. Funeral of Mrs. Habersham. The funeral of the venerable Mrs. Susan Habersham, whose death on Sunday night has been noted, took place yesterday even ing. at six o’clock, from St. John’s Church, which was filled with the relatives and friends of the deceased. The remains were Interred at Laurel Grove Cemetery. From Mohawk Hill, N. Y., a prominent farmer, Mr. Joseph Kapfer, writes: “St. Jacob’s Oil is an Invaluable remedy for the farm; tor it has the same curative influence on animal* as on mankind.” Potatoes and cabbages at low prices at A. Doyle’s.— Adv. Dangerous Toys-Bewar* of Them. The announcement by telegraph of the death of a number of boys In Baltimore, Cincinnati, Chicago, and other cities from lockjaw, superinduced by wounds received by handling toy pistols, has created quite a sensation In Savannah, and excited tbe ap prehensions of parents. It la known that a large number of these toy pis’ols were sold In this city during the Christmas holi days, but fortunately we have heard of no serious results from their use. It may be that a different cap has been invented and Is furnished with those which were pro ductive of so much trouble In other cities. Lest these dangerous weapons should be sent here, we consider It proper to warn the public against them. The weapoa—and a very deadly one it has proved—is not intended to shoot balls, but to explode caps, with a deafening noise. The charge of fulminate was so great that it often exploded and wounded the boy hand ling it, principally in the hand. We learn from the local press that children, In using the weapons with that carelessness custom ary to those of tender age, are not only en dangered by the explosion when properly occurring, but actually have to face the strong probability that, owing to the faulty construction of th? weapon, the cap, or more properly the blank cartridge, will be discharged while being placed In tbe barrel. The fact that frequently the shot was fired just as the loading process had been finish ed, and before the trigger was touched, led to an Investigation by several gentlemen whose children were using the weapons. By experiments, It was found that after the cartridge is placed in position, and the bar rel pushed back, the shock ot the latter motion will, three times out of four, if hur riedly done, causa the hammer to fall and the cartridge to explode. As the loading process requires the hand to be placed on the barrel, whence It naturally slips over the muzzle, the deplorable accidents can readily be accounted for. That any persons, for tbe sake of gain, should manufacture and sell, at this time, such a weapon, miscalled a toy, is only com parable in monstrosity to the purchase of them by parents for their little ones. Bit terly may all hands repent it, since no less than eleven children have died of lockjaw in Baltimore and many more are woundad and in danger of death. Some of these boys were most promising, and their fright ful deaths will Inflict wounds on the moth er’s heart that will be hard to heal. “It Is not improbable,” says the Augusta Chronicle, commenting as above, “that these ‘toy pistols’ will become unfashionable at the North, and that an effort will be made to unload tbe stock upon the South. This may not be realized, but out of the abun dance of caution we admonish parents and the authorities to be on the alert, and we warn all dealers in such Implements to have a care how they receive such Invoices. The man who will sell one of the toys, with these lights before him, is liable to serious consequence?, and the parent who permits his child to have one need not be surprised if another hillock shall be made In tbe eem etery which shall hide a beloved object whose murder cannot be traced to anything but criminal folly and Improvidence.” Atlanta Exposition. Considerable interest ia being manifested in our community in the great International Cotton Exposition to be held In Atlanta in October, and information in regard thereto Is of importance. The main exposition building will be 720 feet long, 96 feet deep, with a cross wing 400 feet long and of the same depth. The vast floor space furnished la this building will be more than duplicated In the auxiliary buildings that will be placed In various parts of the grounds. There are now engaged at the work upon the several buddings from 150 to 200 bands, and this number will be added to as new buildings are started. The Executive Committee hare resolved to build a large hotel containing from 250 to 300 rooms, for the accommoda tion of the crowds of visitors who will at tend the fair. At a meeting of the representatives of Southern railways Interested In the Exposi tion, held in Atlanta recently, the fol lowing gentlemen were present: C. D. Owens, Savannah, Florida and Western; H. M. Cottingham. Cincinnati Southern; W. J. Houston, representing Mr. Pope, of the associated lines of Virginia and the Caro ltnas; J. B Killebrew, Nashville, Chatta nooga and Bt. Louis; C. C. McPhall, Pied mont Air Line; R W. A. Wllda, Louisville and Nashville; R. H Richards E: Tennes see, Virginia and GeoreG; B. V*. Wrenn, Western and Atlantic. On motion of Mr. Owens, of the Savannah, Florida -ml West ern Railway, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the railroad companies here represented ball with pleasure the op portunity presented by the International Cotton Exposition for showing to the peo ple of the Union and the world the vast and varied products of the Southern country, and the na'ural advantages of the sections we represent for the settlement of laborers and agriculturists, and the employment of capital, and we will aid the objects of said exposition to our fullest ability. Space in the railroad building was then bespoken by the representatives present to an amount showing the necessity of erect ing another and equally commodious build ing for the accommodation of the roads yet to near from. Lassoing au Alligator. Avery singular occurrence was noted in the locality of the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway wharves yesterday in the capture of a mammoth live alligator. Messrs. F. A. Von Eberstein, M. J. Woods and F. M. Johnson, clerks at the wharves, spied the alligator lazily stretchlDg himself iu a small creek, and determined upon his capture alive. They procured a large rope, and making a loop in one end, proceeded to lasso the suarlan monster. After several attempts they finally succeeded in casting the loop over the scaly creature’s head, when the line was drawn taut and the pr'zj was pulled ashore. They then procured a large log and additional rope, and the squirmy ’gator was securely tied around the body to the log. The alligator measured six feet one Inch, and is a veritable monster of a different species from those usually found in these waters, being known a6 a salt water ’gator. The bead is somewhat smaller than the fresh water species, and the bide is 6oft and more easily penetrated. The fellow is evidently an old coon, and is very vicious, crushing with his powerful jaws large pieces of boards throwu into his mouth by bis captors. Street Car Horse’s Soliloquy.

The extensive saw mill establishment located at Dlxonia, on the Brunswick and Albany Railroad, Just beyond Waycross, owned by Messrs. Reppard Walter, of this city, and the largest establishment of the kind in tbe State, was totally destroyed by fire on Saturday noon. The mill was In charge of Captain Nicho las Dixon, who had been to Brunswick on business, and arrived at the mill about twenty minutes after the fire started. The hands had knocked off work at 12 o’clock, their usual dinner hour, and were enjoying that meal a short distance from the mill. There were, however, two white and three colored men in the mill when the whirlwind struck the establishment. The furnace was located at one end of the mill, and when the strong volume of wind with terrible velocity swept through, the doors were blown open and the fire was sent whizzing In large flakes throughout the entire establishment. The alarm bell was promptly rung, and within five minutes the men were on the grouud, but the flames bad possession of the place and they were unable to enter. Capt. Dixon states that siuder no other circumstances could the mill have been de stroyed, as there was every provision against fire, and under ordinary conditions any fire that might have occurred could readily have been extinguished. Along the entire ceiling of the mill were placed two inch iron pipes, with attachments for the hose about every twenty fee’, and on top there were some twelve or fifteen barrels of water. The sudden origin of tbe fire and the terrible wind which prevailed, spreading the flames In every direction, prevented the use of these appliances. The mill was furnished with all the latest Improvements, and, as stated, was the largectof the kind In the State. The loss is estimated at $40,000, upon which there is insurance for a fraction over half the amount. There were about 242,000 feet of lumber in the mill, of which only 42,000 feet were 6aved with the greatest difficulty. There were some three hundred men employed at the mill, and its destruc tion will entail considerable suffering on ac count of the hands being thus suddenly thrown out of employment and the difficul ty of obtaining places. Both Mr. Reppard and Mr. Walter are absent from the city, and have been tele graphed of the disaster which has befallen them. The property was Insured for about $20,200, which will sot cover the loss, and was placed as follows: “Commercial Union Assurance Com pany” of London, “Star” of New York, “Manhattan of New York,” “Royal’ of London and Liverpool, “Insurance Com pany of North America” in Philadelphia (these represented by C. A. RePze), amount, $19,200; in the “Watertown Insurance Company, SI,OOO, represented by Capt. John F. Wheaton, making a total of $20,200. It Is understood that the mill will speedi ly be rebuilt, but nothing definite will be decided upon until Mr. Reppard returns. Tbe Old Cemetery. Editor Morning News As one of Savan nah’s oldest citizens and “to the manner born,” I have read with Interest the discus siou in your columns In regard to the “Old Cemetery,” and have enjoyed the ability and old-time courtesy with which it has been conducted. The conclusion it has led me to Is that the owership of the soil Is in the Mayor and Aldermen by the charter to the city, the citizens having, Id common, two privileges In the estate —one direct, the other conse quent; both, however, enjoyed under the pre eminent necessity, the general welfare. The direct privilege was the accommodation for the burial of their dead in the soil. The consequent advantage growing out of this Is the care (preservation and protection) of the remains In their graves or tombs. The first privilege, burial, has been can celled by the superior regard for the public health. The other, care for the dead, is still sn enjoyment, and must be one until a suf ficient cause shall require that It, too, shall be annulled. Meanwhile, the Old Cemetery is to be cared for bv tho city, and parties interested In it, In accordance with the cul tivation and improved taste of the present time. In this question tbe congregation of the Independent Presbyterian Church has, if we are not mistaken, a more materia! in terest than the congregation of Christ Church, as it owns the vault aud monument built to preserve and honor the remains of Dr. Henry Kollock, which were surrendered to that congregation at its urgent request in 1819, when he died—unless Christ Church owns also a vault, tomb, monument or other substantial structure In the cemetery.

Y., July 14.— Editor Morning News: The day of luxurious travel has dawned, especially to those who seek transit from Savannah to the great metropolis. On Saturday, the 9th inst.. a goodly number, just ninety-nine all told, waved good-bye to Savannah, passed down the river, and ere nightfall we were well out at sea. The City of Augusta was full to overflowing. Just one item of freight was 31,000 watermelons. The list of passengers, which was large, embraced several citizens of Savannah. The voyage vas exceedingly pleasant, and rendered so to a large extent by the sociahillry of the passengers and the calmness of the sea. Some people are so constituted that they either can’t be pleasant, or won’t be. Their ex clusiveness and selfishness is a bar to all ap proach. and they go grum’y through the world without emittinr a single ray of sunshine to bless others. I like the sunoy face and cheer ful word that breaks through all convention alities. and wi hout the formal introduction has something to contribute to the general happi ness of all on hoard. A traveling acquaintance need not berecognized afterwards necessarily, but oftentimes some of the most valuable friendships are formed under such circum stances. A few of our passengers were sea sick, but very few considering the Dumber aboard. We‘ arrived at Pier 43, in this city, on Tuesday morning at 8:30 o’clock. Hasty fare wells were said, and on* of the most pleasant companies was broken up, never to be reuni ted. May prosperity attend each. Frequent rains had rendered the atmosphere exceedingly pleasant in the great city. The hotels we found well filled, a-d to our discom fort. At the St. Denis fortune smiled upon us on yesterday, and we are now enjoying most comfortable quarters. There are a great many Georgians in the city, and so far as lean ascertain all are well Mr. W. Lee Ellis and lady, of Macon, sailed for Europe to-day in the steamship State of Indiana Sight-seeing beirg in order, I went by invita tion, throughViy friend Alex. Agar, Esq the wholesale stationer of John street, to Pros pect Park, Brooklyn, to attend the third an nual meeting of the “National Archery Asso ciation of the United Slates.” We know noth ing of this amusement in Georgia, but in the North it is exceedingly popular among both ladies and gentlemen. If it can be retained as an amusement, and not run into a profession, as base ball aid. it will continue to be popular among the better classes. When persons seek it for the money they can make out of it, it will fail. 3he weather was exceedingly warm the first part of the day, interfering very much with the sport. The crowd was very meagre for a national gathering, and to an outsider, who neither understood or appreciated the game, it was very dull. -However, the majority of those present took consider able interest in it and watched close ly the entire contest. About 5 o’clock a storm burst with all its fury over the parade ground. The wind blew a hurricane from the northwest. The thunder crashed over head. The blinding flashes of lightning seemed almost to play about the ground, and the rain descend ed in torrents. There was a rush to the Military Club house, but several ladies and gentle men crowded together under the marquees. The storm rapidly increased in violence. It was a poor lookout for those under tbe tents. First the ladies' tents, in the centre of the ground, and all the targets and stands, were blown down. Shortly afterwards the large marquee began to succumb to the wind, and those who had sought shelter there rushed to the smaller tent close to it. A few minutes later the smaller tent was blown down. Fortunately, those underneath it es caped without hurt, hut ladies and gentlemen alike got a severe ducking, as they had to make a rush for the club house and join their anxious friends, who had watched with alarm the gradual destruction of the archery prop erty on the ground. The collapse of the luncheon tent, which quickly followed, com pleted the ruin, and then everything on the ground but the flag posts was laid low, and the grouud was strewn with chairs, posts and archery goods. The storm lasted for more than half an hour, and every one agreed that a more violent one they had rarely experienced. Thus ended the day. The prizes will beard ed this evening and an adjournment will fol low. My friend Schneider, who is good at calcu lations, has summed up yesterday's labor and its cost. *Ce took in Grand Central Depot and its surroundings, then investigated the beauties and at;ractious, and they are manv. of Prospect Park of Brooklyn, enjoyed the archery tournament, and in the evening took in Coney Is'and and its multiform uttractions, and reached our hotel at 10 p m. The whole costindudingour meals for the day. was only $3 apiece. If there is another spot in all the land where you can see and enjoy so much for this small amount I have never found it and should like to visit it. The public pulse beats responsively to the news from Washington. The condition of the wounded .President is watched with intense interest by New York city. There is a pecu liar feverishness in the interrst manifested, and there seems to be a universal prayer to be delivered from an administration conduct ed by Arthur. He is now in the city, and has everything in readiness.it is said, to assume control of the government at any moment. The newspapers keep the public posted every hour of the condition of President Garfield, and the indications are that Mr. Arthur will be excused from the onerous duty of guiding the ship of State. So mote it be. Jack Plane. MOUNT PLEASANT, FLORIDA. Tallahassee District Conference— Weather and Ibe Crop*—Grape Culture—Temperance Report and Resolutions.

But I fear your patience is already wearied, so I will desist from any further trial of it at present. REPORT OK TEMPBRANCS. We are gratified at the progress made by the temperance cause throughout the whole c>un try as well as in the State of Florida. We also find there has been an increase of interest for the suppression of the liquor traffic within the bounds of this district. The recent legislation on temperance, while it did not accomplish tbe desired end, gave an indication of the growing interest felt by the people of our State. We realize that the first and greatest need is to have the people enlightened and instructed; and when the people thoroughly understand the enormity of the grevt evil fostered upon them, there will bo no difficulty in securing the needed legislation to suppress the liquor traffic. In furtherance of this object, Resolved, 1. That we use every means to en lighten and instruct the people with reference to the evils of intemperance. 2. That we still agitate the question of legis lation, and use our efforts to nave the constitu tion of the State so changed as to secure the passage of u local option law; and further, that we endeavor in every legitimate way to restrict and prohibit drunkenness and the li quor traffic. C A. Saunders, J. T. Bernard, J. Wood, Committee. The following resolution was offered by J. Wood: Resolved, That the members of the Talla hassee District Conference tender to Mr. Geo. I.

The following resolution was offered by Bev. R. Martin: Resolved, That this District Conference has read the announcement of the attempted assassination of James A. Garfield, President of the United States, with the profoundest re gret and sorrow, and that we tend to hicn and his fmily our sympathy, and that we unite in prayer to Almighty God for his recovery.

A great deal of fruit is being shipped East from Sacramento. The amount is much larger than at this time last year. Among the shipments has been a car load of assorted fruit, put up in the Dietz packing, a recently patented pro cess. The Suisun Republican says that the preservative agent is carbonized wheat bran, and that by it fresh fruit is preserved from decay, so that it can be shipped East by slow freight and sold off as the demand is made for it. with out being compelled to sacrifice it for fear of loss. The car load shipped goes to Philadelphia. It contains grapes, plum?, peaches, apricots, etc., and goes as fast freight, though hereafter it is the plan to ship by slow freight, as it will reduce the charges over one half, or from $l,lOO to SSOO a car load to New York. If fruit can be packed in this easy and inexpensive manner, and pre served indefinitely and shipped any where. the business will develop won derfully. “Fresh peaches at Christmas and grapes at midwinter” are very allur ing, and Mr. Dietz says that they may be had by simply packing them in wheat bran reduced to charcoal.

It was in the eariy settlement of Marietta, when a log cabin, in the middle of the square, answered for a court house, and no jail had ever been built. During a session of court a noisy, rude fellow kept disturbing the court, when Judge Warner ordered the Sheriff to arrest him and put him in jail. The Sheriff answered: “We have no jail.” The Judge replied: “Take him out to the fence and put his neck between two rails for three hours.” The Sheriff did as ordered, put the prisoner’s neck between two fence rails, and then up and sat on the fence. After some time the Judge inquired for the Sheriff. He was told that he was out guarding the prisoner. The Judge smiled, but never interfered, and the prisoner for three long hours remained yoked by fence rails. Marietta Journal.
