The V'.iitman tree Pi ess says cotton has failed t* rribly in that section in the last three or four weeks, and that caterpillars have ap peared in large numbers in different portions of the county. Dougherty county is paying forty cents per hundred for cotton pickers. The farmers are already making prepara tj, ns for sowing oats in Berrien county. Mr. John Jlurphy, route agent on the Bruns wii and Albany Railroad, has perfected a ventilator for keeping the cars cool in hot weather, with the doors and window, closed, thus excluding the smoke and dust. Mr Frank Roberts, in Berrien county, wag thrown to the ground by his Texas pony the other day. and his head striking first he was severely injured. A colored bulldozer l&rquislies in Berrien county jail for rescuing another negro from an officer arrested for shooting a colored b-other. Not satisfied with this performance he afterwards visited the hr use of the officer, abused him. fired off his pistol several times and threatened violence The creeks and rivers have taken quite a rise in Coffee county since the heavy rains, and the timber getters are all -rejoicing. Maj or Frobel, who has been engaged to lo cate the canal for Atlanta's water supply, is soon to begin the work. Jackson Herald: -Two negro men were scuttling over a gun one day last week out near Johnson's bridge, on the Mulberry river, when the gun went off, and the load lodged in the thigh of one of the parties, causing his death in a few hours. If was eecidental.” The Madison Yeoman is ia mourning over the death of Mr Madison Stafford, proprietor of that journal, which occurred on the 11th ir.st. Our correspondent at Owen's Ferry. Ga., writes: “The rice crops are very good on Sa tiiia river this year Messrs. J. F. King Sons wi 1 commence harvesting on Monday, 15th Instant.” Sylvania TeU phone: “We see from tbe At lanta Constitution that our fellow townsman. Col. George K. Black, has purchased a resi dence in that city. This looks like the Colonel intends to leave us.” Wrightsville Recorder: “The weather (uutil last week), for five or six weeks, has been ex ceedingly hot and dry. Crops were burnt so severely, we heard farmers say. that if they gathered half a crop they would be satisfied. The late rains, although too late for old corn, will be a benefit to cane, potatoes and peas.” Tbe-e is now pending before the Legislature a bill for enlarging the present building of the lnnatic asylum, and another recommending the building of anew asyiuin at Gainesville, or some other point in North Georgia. That tnere are two bills on the same subject before tbe House, grew out of the fact that the com mittee were unable to agree, and thus a ma jority and minority report was made, each ac companied by a bilk J. A. in JF. liter County Messenger writes from Dry Valley "On Thur.-day of last week, after dinner, the house of Mr. John Owens was burned with everything in it His wife ami children were washing b’vond the house, and were out of sight. Mr. Owens himself was just starting for the field from Fquire Thomas’ with whom he is cropping, when he saw the smoke. By the time he got to his home It was in flames. The oldest girl had cooked dinner that day, and either dropped firm accidentally, or it was caused by a defective stove pipe.” Our Waynesboro (Burke county) correspond ent, August 17th. says: “We have at last had rain. On Saturday we thought we were about to be visited by a cyclone, hut the fearful clouds divided before reaching us, and we were spare*] again from this terror. We fear, however, that other portions of our county were less fortunate, ns the appearance of tbe clouds to the northeast of us. on the line of Briar creek, gave the indication of the hardest kind of a storm The rain. I !ear. came too late for everything except grass. Corn every one gives up as nearly a total loss and the best farmers say a half crop of cotton is all we can expect.” gylvania Telephone "There was drowned at Charies Evans’ landing, on Ogeeehee river, on Sunday last, a negro in the employ of the Cen tral road. He wady could be removed. Wr.en his body was reached it was found in a horrt blv mangled ani bruised condition, life having been crushed out by the immense w eight that slid in upon him. Mr. Angling was in a sitting P° ure r Hamilton was standing when the bank slid in upon them.” Columbus Enquirer: “One of the bloodiest duels that has occurred anywhere in this sec tion in a lonff tun** took plac© Wednesday last near Wrcooch©e alley, in Alabama It was on th© plantation of Mr Jo© Fhipp*, who was in th© city yeaterday and *aYe the particulars. It seems that th© difficulty arose about a wo man, which is usually the ease under such cir cumstances. One of the negro men was in the house with the woman, when the other came up and demanded an entrance into the house. This was refused him. He then forced bis way through the door, and as he did so, the negro who was in side met him with a Knife in band and ready tor a fight. The other negro then drew a razor nd the fight began in earnest. They cut, Sacannalt Sttnrmw) ffan. J. 11.

The one who used the razor cut his antagonist in ten differ ent places, while he received seven stabs from the man who handled the knife. The fight lasted several minutes, and both were so seri ously cut as to be in a critical condition They were hauled away to their homes In a wagon/’ Constitution "It is stated that the bill which provides for taxing the railroads in the counties through which they ron, in addi tion to the general tax of all the lines and their equipments, greatly pleases the people There is no question that the purpose of the mil is fair and equitable, but taxation is a problem that grows more perplexing with the growth of civilization. i t might be asked, for instance. If the proposed tax on railroads wiU really fall upon these corporations When it is paid into the treasury, can it really be said to have been pai.i by the railroads? Those who are disposed to give the subject any reflection, may interest themselves by inquiring whether tax Jo be imposed upon the railroad will not be in turn, Imposed upon the shippers, who, in their turn will impose it upon their customers. But the main question Is, will the '“fcome out of the railroads, or will it be shifted to the shoulders of the people?” Florida Affairs. The Live Oak Bulletin an i little colored imp, Allison Davis, placed an obstruction on the railroad in that town the other day, for the purpose of wrecking the train, but was fortu nately discovered In time to prevent the mis chief. The Pensacola Gazette gives information of an impostor tramping about In West Florida, passing himself among tbe colored people as a Methodist preacher, and gave his name as W. W. Rohnnan. He takes up collections after his sermons. The convention called by the Commissioner of Immigration will be held in Jacksonville August 21th, in the Circuit Court room. The former notice that it would meet on the 20th was an error. It is rumored that the branch railroad from the Jacksonville. Pensacola and Mobile Rail road to Monticello ia to be abandoned, ani the main track carried to Monticello, where it should have been put at first. As soon as the purchasers get things in good working order tbe Jacksonville, Pensacola and Mobile will be one of ihe best roads South. The Pensacola Advance records the third kerosene accident within ten days. A colored woman near Wright's Mills was set on fire by the explosion of a lamp and horribly burned. The flames in the house were subdued by tbe neighbors and the unfortunate woman minis tered to, but her case is hopeless. Sanford Journal: “Splendid rains continue in this section almost daily, and the conse quence is the orange, lemon, lime and other grove trees are putting on a splendid growth.” Lake City Reporter: “Notwithstanding the daily heavy rains of the past two weeks, the cotton crop is not materially damaged from shedding and caterpillar. From all we can glean the caterpillar is confined to four or five farms in the county." Gainesville Bee: “Hillsboro county is out of debt and has $5(10 in her treasury. A good showing. Alachua owes about $30,000 and has not a dollar in her treasury, but a few years of such taxes as we will have to pay this year will bring the county out of debt.’’ Gainesville Bee: “A great deal of confidence is felt here in the move made bv the H H. Plant syndicate to build a road from Rowland's Bluff, on the Suwannee, to Charlotte Harbor. It is reported that a corps of engneer* are now in the field making a survey in this direction.” Lake City Reporter “There was a gentle man In town last Saturday who intends putting up a turpentine still in this county, between this point and Gainesville, just as soon as the track is laid. He desires to purchase 20,00!) acres as soon as assured on wliat line the road will be built.” Panford Journal: “Hon. A. St. Clair-Abrams. 8 ate Attorney for this judicial circuit, re turned on Saturday from Philadelphia and New York, whither he had been as attorney for the South Florida Railroad Company, and not m the interest of the Land and Colonization Company, as we announced recently.” Lake City Reporter: “We learn that several parties intend planting fall gardens to supply the local market. Generally, the people of this community, through the winter months, depend upon Northern growers for vegeta bes which can be grown at home, and it is time the change was made. There is no use in buying abroad what can be grown at home.” Pensacola Gazette: “We learned at the de pot this morning that some thief last night ef fected an entrance tno thersi road warehouse by raising one of the floor planks, and carried off a valise belonging to some traveler. At least this is the only loss discovered up to this time. A closer examination will no doubt dis cover a greater loss.” Sanford Journal: “Mr. Phil. Parramore.who was wounded through bAh legs about a week since by the accidental discharge of a pistol in the hands of Mr. J. R. Gohrtnan, is getting along quite as well, and probably a little bet ter. than had t een anticipated. On Tuesday eve ting he was taken on the train to his home on Crystal Lake, four miles from town, where, it he has no drawbacks, he will soon be on his pins again.” Cedar Keys Journal: “The Rev. F. Ph. de Carriere, of Spring Hill College, Mobile, Ala., with twenty-one students, on their way to Cuba for the summer vacation, arrived here on the Amite last Friday, and left on the Lizzie Henderson for Key West on Monday. During their sojourn in this town they were guests of The Suwannee, and. judging from their happy faces, they appeared to have been well pleased with the accommodations of the hotel.” Pensacola Gazette “It will be remembered that Kichard Fries. Esq., some weeks ago went to Tallahassee for the purpose of placing be fore the Pardoning Board a petition for the re lease of John Giblin. who was convicted of grand larceny at tbe last term of our Circuit Court and sentenced to one yeai’s imprison ment in the penitentiary. Mr Fries states that he received a telegram from Tallahassee yes terdav informing him that the board had de cided adversely upon the petition.” Lake City Reporter: “There will be but little hav saved in this, the middle portion of our countv, owing to the ravages of the grass worm or caterpillar. These have made their appear ance since the heavy rains, and march in solid columns through the fields, eating the blades and leaves of everything in their path to the stems. Fodder crops have been raided and several report their rice crops as entirely ruined Tney have proved disastrous to the forage and many rice crops of our section of the county. This is the first time we have been troubled with these pests.” (Juincy Star: “A painful accident happened on Saturday afternoon to a little ten-year-old son of Mr. J. R. Darsey, living in Decatur county, a few miles from Concord. He was climbing m tbe gin house, and when at the top of the ceiling, about ten feet, a pole upon whioh he was standing gave way, precipitating him to the floor, breaking the large bone of his right leg three inches from the ankle. He crawled out and down the steps to the house, a distance of several hundred yards Dr. Thos. L Wragg set the fractured limb, and reports him doing as well as can be expected.” Pensacola Gazette- “Ihe coming of the Rev. Mr. Bailey to Pensacola is not without fruits. Aside from the good effects of his excellent preaching to delighted audiences, he has a'ready been instrumental in bringing two Lon dou families as settlers to our community, who arrived in the city a few days ago. From what we learn these people are but the fore runners of many more to come. We are glad to know that Mr. Bailey's impressions of our people are so favorable as to induce him to use his influence in bringing good settlers into the community. We have room and employment for all of them." Jacksonville Union: “On Friday, upon a dispatch received from Sheriff Shalley, of Put ram county, Capt. Tyler and Officer Keefe arrested a man by the name of Hughes, who had left l’alatka that morning and come down on the Water Lilly. Yesterday a Deputy Sheriff of Putnam arrived here and took Hughes back to Palatka. It is said that Hughes had perpetrated a most terrible crime —too foul to be mentioned In the columns of a newspaper. Hughes is a white man, and, it is said, was a candidate on the Republican ticket for tbe Legislature from Alachua county at the last election. He lives at Gainesville. Cedar Keys Journal: “Ex-Governor Geo. F. Drew paid a visit to this town Wednesday eve cing. The Governor was in his usual good health and spirits, and conversed freely upon the different topics of the day. No Governor that Florida has ever had occupies a more conspicuous place in her history than ex-uov ernor Geo. F. Drew. He was nominated for GoTernor at a tim© when our people felt crushed and demoralised by the baleful effects of Radical rule, when taxation was grinding, and there seemed no hope ahead except in a change. Of all the distin guished men of the State he was chosen as the standard bearer to lead us out of the political wilderness, and most nobly did he succeed. Our State was at once placed on the high road to progress and recuperation. State scrip sprang up almost suddenly from 40 to 50 cents on the dollar to par. In spite of all the adverse criticism that has been made, the fact stands out that Governor Drew's administra tion was as successful in every particular as any Florida has ever had, or, perhaps, ever wiU have.” South Carolina Notes. Mr. George H. Comelson, of Orangeburg, pays out over $50,0j0 a year in wages to his employes. A few nights ago an attempt was made by a number of prisoners in the county jail at Edgefield to get their liberty by prizing open their cell with a crowbar. The Tooker mine, in York county, was sold on the Sth instant to "The Broad River Gold Mining Company of New York.” Operations on an extensive scale will be commenced im mediately. Two fox hunters from Anderson oounty wen 1 into Abbeville last week, and in four days with a pack of seventeen hounds caught eleven gray foxes. A stabbing affray occurred in the Waxhaws, I ah--as ter county, last week, between Messrs. G. W. and Abe Ferguson, brothers. The for mer was badly cut about the head and neck. There were shipped from Camden during the month of July 3,118 barrels of naval stores. Two million four hundred and seventy-five thousand shingles have been sold and shipped from Prosperity, Newberry county, during the past year. A gentleman sixty years of age has informed the Orangeburg Democrat that the Ed is to river, between Orangeburg and BraDchville, was lower this year than ever before within his memory. Children could wade across it with ease In many places. Sheriff M. T. Holly has sold In Aiken the first bale of the new crop picked in that county. It weighed 480 pounds, classed as middling, and was sold to Mr. Henry Hahn for 12J4 cents per pound. A small colored boy—bird minder on the plantation of Mr. James Slattery, in Colleton county—ln the careless handling of his gun shot and silled himaelf last week. A party of negroes indulged in a fracas in Belton, Anderson county, one night last week. One of them received a severe blow on the head, and in attempting to shoot his antago nist he shot himself through the hand. Two attempts were made to wreck the pas senger trains going South on the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Road recently, a short distance below Fort Mill. The highways in Barnwell county are being put in good condition. Two colored men were drowned last week while attempting to cross Black river near Campfield, In Georgetown county. Dr. Pope, assistant surgeon of the peniten tiary, has been on a tour of inspection of the convicts on the Augusta and Knoxville Rail road. He reports the convicts to be in excel lent condition. C harles Dudley, of Darlington county, ran off with Miss Ida Moody last week. He was a married man.who had separated from his wife, and had then taken up with another woman. Miss Moody is only sixteen years of age. The water in the Balkehatchie has been very low for some time, but the late rains have caused a rise of some six or eight inches. Rain is still falli- g, and rice planters may look for a freshet in tlie river In a few weeks if it con tinues. Jimmie Milster, of Bpartanburg, son of Mr. W. D. Milster, a lad of twelve or fourteen years of age. while carelessly handling a shot gun, accidentally shot Eddie Sumner, a son of Mr. T. J. Sumner, a little hoy of about the same age, who died from the effects of the wound. Dr. Todd recently extracted from the foot of a gentleman visiting Barnwell a pistol ball that he had carried for twenty-four years. The ball, with its encrusted covering, resembled a butter bean in size and shape, but did not con tain more lead than a squirrel shot. A few nights ago the large gin bouse and mill of Mr. J. A. Brant, on the Charlotte, Co lumbia and Augusta Railroad, about four miles below Trenton, was destroyed by fire. It was, without doubt, the work of an incendiary, and two negroes charged with the crime were ar rested and lodged in the county jail at Edge field. A horrible accident occurred Wednesday night by which Julius Brockman, a colored man, was run over and killed by the North bound fast mail train on the Air-Line Railroad, about five miles from Greenville. He fell asleep on the track and was seen by the en gineer too late to stop the train. He was hor ribly mangled. A pig with six feet is owned by Mr. M A. Drawdy, oh Ashepoo, Colleton county. The fore legs fork below the knee, from which have grown out two additional legs and feet. All f. ur of the fore legs touch the ground, and are used in either walking or running. The pig is finely formed otherwise, and seems to be in a good, healthy condition. One night last week some thieves entered the cow lot ou Dr. Holmes' place and killed a fine milch cow and sold her for beef in Barr well. The Council have determined to make every person who sells beef and pork from the market stal's bring in the hides, feet and heads of all beeves with ears undisturbed, and to pro duce the heads of all hogs with ears uadis turbed. A difficulty occurred at Hannah Church. Newberry county, on Thursday last, between Coleman Hix and his son, Frank Hix, on one side, and James Little on the other. Frank Hix shot Little in the head with a pistol, inflicting a wound that was at first supposed to be fatal, but which turns out not to be very serious. Hix shot twice, one shot missing its aim. The parties were all colored. The Hixes have been lodged in jail. The Pickers Sentinel says “A negro shdt at Mr. James Hunt, on the eastern side of this county, on last Monday week, and came very near inflicting a dangerous wound. The ball passed across and on the side of the abdomen, ra sing a red streak, but did not break the skin. The assault is said to have been entirely ud| revoked. The negro, it is said, was carry ing the pistol with which to shoot Mr. Thomas Hunt, a brother of the assaulted man.” John Mitchell, colored, convicted in 1879 of burglary, and serving out a ten years’ sen tence, escaped from the Atlantic and French Broad Railroad gang in January last. A few days ago he was detected robbing a house in Chester county, and was shot in the leg with buckshot by the proprietor, an old man of seventy. He escaped, but wa found wounded in the woods and confessed. He is again in the penitentiary, tbe wound not being dangerous. The Dorn gold mine, in Abbeville county, is b ing worked with satisfactory results. Re cently improved machinery lias bee put up at this mine, and since then over three hun dred dollars a week in the precious ore has been realized. Judge Cothran, agent for the owner of the mines, was there a few days ago and brought back two pieces of gold about the size of brick bats. The Greenwood and Au gusta Raiiroad will establish a depot at the mines, and this will become a considerable centre for trade. Mr. Hatcher, a gentleman who resides in Aiken county, a few miles from the town of Vaucluse. was seriously injured last week while getting off one of the trains of the Char lotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad He has not been able to return to his home since the accident, and is now undergoing medical treat ment at Vaucluse. It is claimed that the in jury was caused by gross negligence on the part of the company, and a suit will be Insti tuted for ten thousand dollars damages. Messrs. Henderson Bros, have been employed by the plaintiff. The jury of inquest on the body of Richard Dunbar, recently killed near Woodward’s mill, Barnwell county, rendered a verdict charging William Dyches with the crime, and that Glas gow Smalls, Frank Crawley and Ben Simons, all colored, were accessories after the fact. There are various contradictory accounts of the homicide in circulation. It seems that the par ties to it had been quarreling for at least a year past: that finally they met, and then Dunbar received the wound from which be died. Dyches, Smalls, Crawley and Simons have been lodged in jail. Jealousy is said to have been the cause of the difficulty. THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION. Its Secret Hlntory Likely to be Soouer or Later Divulged. Utica Herald. It is current belief that the electoral commission, by whose final vote the Presidency was stolen from the people, has a secret history. There exists ample ground for the belief that at onetime the Republican Justices in the body had de cided to throw out the vote of Florida entirely, and that one of them (Bradley) reached the determination to vote to give it to Tilden and Hendricks. It has been generally understood that Bradley as sured Justice Clifford of his intention to do this. Our readers, or some of them, may remember that, after the arguments, and before any votes had been taken, rumors appeared in Washington corre spondence to the effect that Bradley had confessed to Clifford the justice of the Democratic position, and stated that he would vote to declare Tilden elected. The report went so far as to assert that Bradley had written out his opinion, and would present it when he voted with the Democrats. As soon as these stories leaked out the eminent Republicans who were engineer ing the steal visited Bradley en masse. The result of their persuasion we know. Bradley tore up his old opinion and wrote another, in which he sprung his historic “aliunde” upon the public. As we have said, all this has been a part of understood history for years, but it has never been given the weight of au thoritative statement. At last we are promised proofs which, although posthu mous, will generally be accepted as posi tive. Governor Crittenden, of Missouri, says that Justice Clifford told him several years ago that he had prepared a com plete and detailed history of the proceed ings of the electoral commission, and that it would be published after his death, unless his wife decided otherwise. The Justice furthermore hinted than when the history was published developments would be made of a startling nature and damaging to reputations now good. From another source comes the later statement that the volume will very soon be given to the public, and that Brad ley’s duplicity will not only be proved, but accounted for. We await the ap pearance ot the history with interest. The people cannot know too much of the inner history of the fraud. Outlines of tbe Coming Crop Report. Washington. August 15.— 1 t Is under stood that the crop report to be issued to morrow by the Department of Agriculture will show that the falling off lu spring wheat will not be so large as Is generally expected. The corn crop In the Bouth will be very small, and the decrease In the West ern States Is not so great as expected. The report will also show a decrease in the tobacco crop. Terrible Loss of Lite.

CHANGED FOR THE WORSE THE PRESIDENT’S CONDITION AOAIN GRAVE. Sclxed W ith Nausea and Vomiting— Hla Pulae Runs up to 130—The Public Alarmed-A Free Talk With Doctor Ritas— Feeding the Patient By Injections—Can He be Kept Allva— Deep Anxiety at the Capital. Washington, D. C., August 15.—There has been the greatest excitement here to day about the President since the day he was shot. Each bulletin, as they came in succession, increased the feeling of alarm. The truth Is, the President is in a very dan gerous condition. His vitality is almost exhausted. Immediately after the 6:30 bul letin was issued from the White House, a large crowd began to gather around the gates and the places where the bulletins were exhibited, and were horrified by its alarming figures—pulse 130, temperature 99 6 degrees, and respiration 22. The crowd soon increased, until a multi tude, unequalled since the day of the shoot ing, had gathered. The guards at the gates were doubled, and mounted messengers made their appearance at various points. The excitement was rendered more Intense by a rumored, though unofficial, rise in the pulse to 138 degrees, and again quieted by the statement that the President was rest ing. At nine o’clock he was again exam ined, and his pulse was 120, temperature 99 6, and respiration 20, with a slight im provement in bis general condition. The White House was then thronged with an anxious crowd, including Secretary Kirk wood, Postmaster General James, Attorney General MacVeagb, Secretary Windom, General Sherman, and also a number of other prominent officials. About 9 o’clock your correspondent saw Dr. Bliss and got a short talk with him. He said the President’s stomach had refused to perform its functions, and was causing all the trouble; that the wound was doing well. Dr. Bliss said that the only question s; been created for the purpose and placed in charge of a careful and. experi enced chief, with a corps of skillt sd assist ants, who will attend to all such xhlbits. The expense, of the department, which will be very light, will be apportion ed among those who receive its benefits. Inhibitors who wish to avail themselves of this ar rangement must make Immediate applica tion to the Director General. GRAIN BOOM IN CHICAGO. Extraordinary Klae Id Prices. Chicago, August 15. —There was wild ex citement at the opening on ’Change this morning. It was believed that the reports of rain In the Western States would send the markets down, but they had no effect, and prices started with an advance, which progressed almost without break, and every article shared in the rise. September and October wheat opened' at 130%; Octo ber corn at 59% September oats at 35%c.; September pork at IH7 87% and September lard at 11 67%c. The prices of wheat jumped rapidly upward and sold at $1 30% for cash and August, and $1 30% for October.

DE.ADLY DUEL. A Bloody Combat In Indian Ter* rltory. Littlb Rock, Ark August 15.—Infor mation has just reached this city of a des perate duel fought last week in the Indian nation between F. O. Carpenter, a Choctaw chief, and Col. Ames Price, a prominent citizen of the Creek nation. Price was killed and Carpenter fatally wounded. Con siderable feeling exists over the affair, as both men were among the most prominent in the nation. Weatber Indications. Office Chief Signal Observer, Wash ington, I).

Cordially Invited by Secretary Blaine to Attend the Yorktown Centennial. Washington, August 15. Secretary Blaine, through Minister White at Berlin, has invited the relations of Baron Steuben to attend the Yorktown celebration. In his communication to Minister White Secre tary Blaine says: “Those who come as representatives of Baron Steuben will be assured, in our day of peace and prosperity, of as warm a welcome as was given to their Illus trious kinsman In the dark days of adversity and war. They will be the honored guests of fifty millions of Americans, a vast number of whom has German blood in their veins and constitute one of the most worthy and valuable elements that make up the strength of the repub lic. Intensely devoted, with patriotic fidelity, to America, they yet retain and cherish and transmit the most affec tionate memories of Fatherland. To these the visit of Baron Steuben’s relatives will have something of a revival of family ties, while to all Americans, of what ever origin, the presence of German guests will afford a fitting opportunity of testifying tneir respect for tuat great country, within whose limits are included so much of hu man grandeur and human progress.” TERRIFIC SLAUGHTER. t The murderous Apaches Swoop Down ou a mcxlcau Village. Chicago, August 15.—The Times' special from Las Vegas, N. M., of yesterday’s date, says: “Meagre news reached this city at a very late hour last night that the Apaches had swooped down on a small Mexican vil lage, eighteen miles from Rio Puerco, a point on the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, and murdeied 27 out of the 29 inhabi tants. Two Mexicans, who made good their escape, were nearly exhausted when they reached the railroad, and had their horses shot down from under them before getting out of reach of the Indians. From the scanty news obtainable on account of broken telegraphic communication,it appears that the Apaches completely surrounded the village, thus making escape for the doomed inhabitants impossible. Tbe track of the Indians on their outward march through the wilderness is continually marked by murder and blood shed, and the justly indignant citizens of this section of country demand that the government put a large force of troops In the field at once and immediately wipe out of existence the savages, who are commit ting such terrible slaughter and atrocities among the whites and Mexicans.” THE GROWING COTTON CROP. August Returns to the Department ol Agriculture Decrease iu tbe Average Condition as Compared with July.

Vlewa ot the British Press-The Government Not Inclined to Yield —The First Amendment of the Peers Rejected—Gladstone Op posed to Compromise—A Thrnst from Mr. Heal?. London, August 15.— The Daily News says: “Several Irish Conservative Peers have urged Lord Salisbury to withdraw the oppo sition to the land bill on the ground that the rejection of the bill would be followed by a renewal of the land agitation, which would probably entail upon them great er losses from non-payment of rent than they have yet sustained. Lord Salis bury advised the Peers, at their meeting on Friday, to adhere to all their amendments, on the ground that it would only be by doing so that they could force the govern ment to make concessions.” The Earl of Pembroke Writ*. uiui.ee iqg against the cry being raised that the amendments of the House of Lords to the land bill are an attack on the principles of the bill. He says this is not true in regard to one Blugle amendment, except that deal ing with the termination of existing leases, and that amendment only restores the bill to the shape in which it entered the House of Commons. The obstinate injustice of "the government towards the landlord, he says, is the sole cause ot the deadlock. The Times in a leading article says: “The temperature and judgment of rational men is unanimous that the difference between the two houses ought to be composed, nor is there the slightest reason to believe that a fair, moderate and practical arrangement is out of the question. It is the state of Ireland in particular which renders it imperative that a settlement should be effected without delay. The pos sibility that the bill may be lost or post poned has filled the Irish landlords with alarm. We believe the government will ad vise the House of Commons to give cool and impartial consideration to the bill in its present form, and see whether, without departing from the principles laid down by Mr. Gladstone, it may be pofsi ble to effect a reasonable compromise. Many Conservatives are sdeeply convinced as Messrs Gladstone and Foster that it would be almost criminal to delay the settleraent, to which the Irish tenantry have looked for ward for months. Outside the spleen of partisanship there is only one opinion, which is that a compromise must be found.” The Morning Pint says: “We hope the firmness of the Peers will show the govern ment the necessity of conceding the points in dispute in proposing such negotia tions as may lead to a settlement. The Liberal associations of several large towns have passed resolutions urging the government to maintain a firm attitude, but accounts from several large centres, such as Liverpool, Bristol and Newcaitle, report a feeling prevalent that the matter will be compromised.” The Daily Hews, in a leading article, says “If Mr. Gladstone resigns he would make the Peers our masters. If the role of the majority of hereditary legislators could at any moment overbeard the decision of the country, parliamentary government would become a farce. The same may be said of a dissolution of Parliament and a general election.” The News discredits the idea of a conference between the two houses. In the House of Commons this evening, Mr. Gladstone, replying to Mr. Parnell, said there would be no preliminary statements with respect to the land bill, tut that the House would proceed to consider the amendments of the House of Lords forth with. Mr. Healy, Home Ruler, said be foresaw the germs of surrender in Mr. Gladstone’s refusal to make a distinct statement. Sir Charles Dilke, Under Foreign Secre tary, being pressed to answer a question as to whether or not the government would advise the Khedive of Egypt to disband his army, said the gravity of the circumstances lying behind the question prevented his being explicit. Mr. Gladstone was loudly cheered on his arrival at the House this afternoon by the large crowd assembled at the entrance of the House of Commons. The galleries of the Houses were crowded. A large number of Peers were present. Various petitions were presented, amid cheers from the Libe ral side, against the House yielding to the amendments of the House of Lords impair ing the protection afforded to the tenants by the land bill. In the House of Commons this evening Mr. Gladstone said he did not wish to have the word “compromise” applied to the pro ceedings of the government. The House, he said, had trusted the government so far, and he hoped it would continue the trust. The House threupon agreed to proceed with the consideration of the amendments to the land bill, and on motion of Mr. Glad stone the first amendment of the House of Lords, excluding from the right of free sale tenancies, on which permanent im provements have been made by the land lords was disagreed to. Mr. Alexander M. Sullivan, Home Rule member of the House of Commons for Meath, had a fit, and is seriously ill. The death is announced of Mr. John Joicey, Liberal member of the House of Commons for North Durham, who has long been ill, and whose death was erroneously announced recently. His age was 64. British Breadstuff's. London, August 15.—The Mark Lane Ex press, iu its review of the grain trade for the past week, says: “The rains have every where delayed tbe harvest. Where the crops are still standing, ripening was checked, and mildew, which had generally appeared, was there by Increased. The early crops, how ever, are free from mildew, and are the clearest since 1868. Tbe first threshing re sults were disappointing on account of thinnest. The feeling of doubt and mistrust as to the harvest has given to trade a tone of excited apprehension. Samples of native wheat have been growing scarce, the supply in London last week having been only 866 quarters, and rates were advanced two to three shillings per quarter. With the early and large deliveries of new crop, a glut was expected at this time but the change in the weather, stopping threshing from the fields and altering the condition of the grain, has prevented a glut during August. Foreign trade off the coast stands altogether in favor of sellers. White wheat advanced 25., and other brands Is. to 2s. per quarter. The supply has been moderate. The off coast supply was twenty-one cargoes, of which fourteen were sold. Tbe forward trade was brisk, and reasonable amount of offerings was readily taken In all positions. The floating bulk Is slowly diminishing. In flour the best markets were one to two shillings dearer. The foreign supply was very small, and rates improved two shillings, mainly in accordance with the improved values of American export grabs. The barley crop will probably be fair. Grinding samples Improved in sympathy with foreign feeding stocks. Foreign also improved fid. Native oats are scarcely quotable. Foreign were 9d. dearer. In foreign maize buyers offer an advance of 6d., but sellers want 9d. The sales of English wheat during the week were 10,982 quarters at 365. 9d. per quarter, against 13,902 quarters at 645. 4d. for the corresponding period of last year.” Tbe New York Stock Market. New York, August 15.—The stock mar ket opened weak and generally lower, and in early dealings prices declined to 2% Ser cent., Illinois Central, Missouri Pacific, forfolk and Western preferred, Texas Pa cific, Michigan Central and Denver and Rio Grande being most prominent in the downward movement. Subsequently a recovery of to 1 per cent, took place, the latter in Missouri Pacific.

THE CBUISE OF THE COB WIN matter* in Alaska—Traces o Wrecked Whalers—The Scene o the Famine—Off* for Wrangle Land San Francisco, August 15.—The Alaaki Commercial Company’s steamer St. Paul which arrived here this morning, brlngi the following advices from Alaska: Capt Hooper, of the revenue cutter Corwin, r ceived intelligence of the discovery of some wrecked whalers by Indians On May 20th, and he at once sent out a sledge party under Lieutenant Herring to investigate. The party landed at Koluchl rln Island on June 2d, aDd made their way over ice westward to the mouth of the Wackeem river, about 100 miles from Cape Serdze, where they fell In with a party of natives, in whose possession were found articles taken from the wreck. The Corwin’s party also saw and talked with the natives who had boarded the wreck and exhibited two piles of articles which, they said, they had taken from her. They consisted prin cipally of carpenters’ tools, etc. The fol lowing articles were recovered and have been brought to Ban Francisco to be for warded to the United States Treasury De partment: One whaling iron marked, possi bly with the initials of the owners of the Vigilant with five dots, supposed to mean boat No. 5, one pair of silver bowed spectacles and case, one pair of marine glasses and one knife marked “V” on the handle. The natives said that the wrecked vessel carried a pair of reindeer horns on the end of her jibboom. The Vigilant is known to have carried such ornaments, and is said to have been the only vessel in the sailing fleet having such, which leads to the conclusion that it was she that was wrecked. Her cabin was full of water. Her masts were gone and four dead bodies were found in her, one of them in a berth, the others ffe ooSfes looked as as if they had been dead “many moons,” that the skin of their faces was withered and drawn tight. From this description it is surmised that the ves sel was wrecked as far back as the winter of 1879, her first winter out, sod that the wreck subsequently drifted out to sea and was lost sight of. The sledge party being un able to go further withdrew on account of the melting snow and proceeded to Cape Berdze, and were picked up by the Cor win on June 29th. They traveled In all 130 or 140 miles. The cutter had her iudder cirried away by the ice on June Ist, but the damage was repaired In St. Lawrence Bay, with material obtained from the wreck of an old whisky smuggler ashore there. Later she made a round, landing on that island, and sent parties ashore to visit the scene of the destructive famine of 1878 ’79 in the Indian villages. But few changes were dicovered. The dead bodies were still lying about in numbers. The surviving natives appeared to be in no want. They were abundantly sup plied with arms and ammunition, and also with goods plundered from the wreck of the schooner Loleta. The last intelligence of the cutter’s movements is up to July 9, when she sailed from Norton Sound to Gooulovil Bay, thence to proceed northward to Kotz bue Sound and Point Barrow' to look after revenue matters, and then westward to Wraneel Laud before the ice closed in search of the Jeannette. The mildness of the pre vious winter, and the thinuess of the ice en countered by the Corwin, gave Captaiu Hooper strong hopes of being able to reach and cxploro that land. Whalers who were interviewed con sidered the prospects favorable. Fears are entertained that eorne whaler ha 6 been lost, as early iu July large quantities of whale oil were reported seen by the natives and other hunters on the sea about Suak Inland. Four casks of whale oil driffed ashore there about the same time. These signs gave rise to the apprehension that some remaining whaler was wrecked In a fog on the outlying reef or recks about that, island. The fact that the packages of oil found were unbroken ia thought to indicate that, possibly, one side of the unfortunate vessel was broken In let ting the cargo out. No further details of the supposed wreck bad reached Ouuaiaska up to August 4th, when the St. Paul left. The HarvetU* in France. Paris, August 15. —The Bulletin des Halles, an agricultural journal, estimates that the wheat, crop will be sensibly under the aver age. Barley and oats are also estimated to show a deficit. Maize gives lise to much uneasiness, and iu the east and south of France rice Is good iu quality but under the average. Terrible Disaster at Iflaraeille*. London, August 15. —During a bull fight at Marseilles yesterday, several tiers of seats collapsed, and twelve persons were killed and one huudred and fifty injured. The schooner Gertie, of Lockport, while anchored on Bank Queers, Nova Scotia, was seriously shattered by the explosion of a keg of powder, and capsized. Her crew were taken off by an American vessel. Two of them were seriously injured, one of whom is not expected to recover. Advices from Kingston, Jamaica, state that while the mail 6teamer Nile was on her passage from Southampton to Barbadoes, her coals were found to be on fire. Being short of cargo her bunkers were filled with coal sufficient for the return voyage. Crates of earthenware packed in straw were on top of tbe coal, “and among the passengers’ baggage cartridges were found.” Fortu nately the fire was soon extinguished. The bark Racer, which sailed from Mira mlcbi on tbe 3d Instant, was run into on the afternoon of the 9th by the steamer European, from Liverpool for New York, during the prevalence of a thick fog. The collision occurred near Flemish Cape, on the Newfoundland banks. The bark was cut in two,but the crew saved themselves by jumping aboard the steamer. The Euro pean put in at St. Johns with her bows badly damaged, and will remain some time for repairs. ISaluufl imvflw. jtoM V §llßl *4KIM c POWDER Absolutely Pure.

The Northern newspapers generally deny that the finding of the Whittaker court martial is known to any one ex cept the court and the Judge Advocate General. But the Philadelphia Time* is confident that the court was unanimous against Whittaker. The Washington Star of Saturday says: “It is learned beyond the question of a doubt that the findings of the court are against Whitta ker. He is found guilty of committing an alleged outrage upon himself, and also of not telling the truth about it The sentence of the court is that he be dismissed the service. There is nothing to indicate that the proceedings will not be approved. The Rev. Henry Montagu Butler, D.

Canon Farrar, who might have been expected to succeed Dean Stanley, put himself out of the list by his denial of Hell as a place of future punishment. It would seem that Mr. Gladstone, while unwilling to name a Dean who had denied Heil was quite as unwilling to name one who had affirmed it, and so chose one who has not yet made a record in the matter, and who will be able to steer between Scylla and Charybdis by not doing it. There is a curious sugar bounty law in force in New Jersey. According to a correspondent of the New York Tribune, the last Legislature passed a law which gives a bounty of one cent for every pound of sugar made from beets or sorghum raised in the State, and $1 a ton for the sorghum cane from which the sugar is manufactured. It was rep resented by the gentlemen who were so eager to sweeten things generally, and more particularly to “develop the re sources of the State" in this saccarhine direction, that the machinery for sugar mills was expensive, and the industry needed this encouragement. The'bounty was therefore voted for five years. Now, inasmuch as a fertile acre will yield from fifteen to twenty tons of cane, it will be seen that anything like a prevalent de sire to develop the sugar industry will drain the treasury very dry. Secretary Windom’s letter to the Bank era’ Convention on his refunding meas ures for the most part bat puts in narra tive form facte with which the public are already familiar.

The gloomy vaticinations of Mr. John Thompson, President of the Chase National Bank of New York tity; vrith reference to the business outlook, before the Bankers’ Convention at Niagara Falls, while they il attention; and may serve a good piftpose, are offset by many reassuring facts that are eloquent in refutation of the argument he builds. -At the present-trine the ectmtry is en joying what appeals to be a solid pros perity. There f5 4U> complaint or evl deoce of pvodaoUom There U an abundance of raw material, and vast stores of capital seek investment at low rates of interest True, from changed conditions in Europe, it is likely that we will export less grain than in any of the past four years, but it does not appear that the falling off will turn the balance of trade, which has long been in our favor, to so great an extent that,notwith standing enormous importations, we have made good our obligations by exports. The accumulation of wealth in this country is simply marvelous. It has been shown that the annual increase of, capital in Germany is $200,000,000; in Great Britain $325,000,000: in France $375,000,000; in the United States $825,- 000,000. Our mines in gold and silver last year produced $162,000,000. It is calculated, too, that immigration has enriched us during the past ten years to the amount of $1,500,000. In this connection it is well to note that immi gration for the past year exceeded all precedent. -m.'x ts-ra.nnn noo of bonds are eagerly sought at 34 per cent, that deposits in savings banks increased $400,000,000 in the last year, that the deposits of banks amount to over two and a half billions, when the net gains of our railroads are increasing, when our cotton, iron and silk industries are in a most healthy condition, while one may heed the warnings of capable prophecy lie will be slow to read these wonted signs of prosperity as omens of disaster. There is a periodicity in the occur rence of panics that would not permit one to ignore warnings, and it is only from the conditions that precede them that the merits of their predictions can be Judged. The conditions that pre ceded the great panic of 1873, or the other disasters of the century, are absent now, and are not likely to present them selves in the near future. Mr. Thomp son defers the storm until 1883. It may be that he can be prevailed upon to re vise his data and postpone it a while longer. True, to some, the wild folly of the stock gamblers appears to portend evil, but when one looks at the condition of the savings banks he finds the truest criterion of national prosperity. From the figures exhibited by Comptroller Knox it would appear that these institu tions actually have deposits thrust upon them. The average deposits of the sav ings banks for the year ended May 30, 1881, were $881,000,000, which proba bly represents a total of two and a half millions of depositors. It is estimated that the national and State banks ana private bankers now hold at least $1.628,- 000,000 of deposits, and as portions of these deposits are frequently transferred from one depositor to another, Comp troller Knox calculates that a number of persons at least equal to one half the population of the country are directly or indirectly interested in the deposits of its national and other banks and bankers. View the outlook from the standpoint of facts, and it is altogether and every where cheering. Mr. Thompson and his fellow prophets of ill, while they can not beget alarm, may, however, accom phsh good in reminding the people that they cannot be too cautious in bringing on an era of over production, over trad ing and over trusting. These are the harbingers of disaster, and, of thejthree, the last is the most certain. David A. Wells, whose views on po litical economy are so well known, and whose mind is a vast store house of statistical information, is writing a series of articles on free trade, and uses the following illustra tion: If every woman who bought a silk dress was stopped by a Treasury official as she went out of the store, and six yards out of every ten were cut off. forcibly taken from her, and handed over to a silk manufacturer at Paterson, New Jersey; or if every farmer, butch er, butter maker, or meat packer in buying a bushel of salt were com pelied to buy and give to a Syracuse, New Y'ork, salt manufacturer three quarters of a bushel additional in order to have the privilege of using the first bushel; or, if 20,000,000 bushels of wheat had to be especially planted, bar vested and put aside to be given to eleven Bessemer steel rail establishments each and every year, in order to enable them to make and sell steel rails to the people of the country at from twenty to twenty eight dollars per ton more than equally good rails could be bought for elsewhere; if the tariff could be administered in this fashion, and that which is now done covertly could be done openly, does any one think that such a system could be maintained longer than necessary to elect a Congress to repeal it Some of the New York tugboat Cap 'ains complain that the electric lights used by excursion steamers dazzle their eyes so that they cannot steer as well as formerly. Small objects ahead cannot be seen, and dimmer lights put out as signals by other vessels are more diffi cult to perceive. In a word, there is in creased danger. The electric light will have its advantages in certain situations. But with regard to it the same general principle may apply as was illustrated by the failure of the theoretically desira ble concentrated foods of a former time, that for man. constituted as he is, those things are best to which he is most &c customed. The eye is accustomed to a certain intensity of light, but it may re quire some years to adapt the retina to an Edison lamp. The Huntsville Herald, a paper edited by a colored man, has the following to say in reference to a trip to Indiana of its editor: More thac two weeks ago we shook from our feet the dust of the hoosicr State, and wended our way southward, satisfied that our room in the North was more acceptable than our company, and “in Dixie's land we’ll take oar stand." Me talked with Northern men, at home and abroad, and they do not hesi tate in stating plainly that it is the negro to remain in the South. They are willing to contribute something to educate the “iieatehn negro’of the South, but would rather have the school beyond the reach of their noses. This is, indeed, a true instance in which “distance lends enchantment to the view.” Except for political purposes, the further the negro is removed from the model Northerner, the better he loves him. The New York Commercial Adtertieer says that “all these civil service reform doctors are arrant quacks,and Dr. Schurz is the biggest fraud of the lot.” The only thing for the country then is to call in physicians of another school —the Democratic. The Georgia Moarens. A bill introduced''ln the Senate and made the special order Ipr to-mor row, is being discussed the press. The bill undertakes to suppress Mormon- Ism in thteState by abridging the liberty of speech, and, of course, will not pass. Meantime some very alarming indica tions are developed of the rapid progress of Mormonism, not only in Georgia but in many other States east of the Missis sippi. Alluding to the bill, which it had not seen, the Atlanta Constitution says; “We may add that information has been received from a number of sources which satisfies us that the Mormon propaganda is a much more serious affair than might be supposed. Articles on this subject have attracted the attention of earnest people in the North and West, and these in turn have sent us facts in regard to the work of missionaries in other States. They are at work in Illi nois, Wisconsin, lowa, Ohio, Kentucky, Texas, Tennessee, Virginia, Alabama, North and South Carolina, and even in Florida, while a correspondent from Taylorsville, Mississippi, says the Mor mon propagandists are at work in that neighborhood and building up very rap idly. Everywhere they are actively or ganizing Sunday schools and keeping still tongues in regard to polygamy.” It is the policy of the Mormons to keep polygamy in the back ground while canvassing for recruits in the States where the laws are known to prohibit and punish it as a crime; and under the protection of the Constitution forbidding proscription on account of religious opinion and guaranteeing the liberty of speech, they are making the most vigor ous efforts to populate territories in the West for the future security of polygamy against the danger they apprehend from that same Constitution. They are a set of base and sneaking hypocrites, preying upon the ignorant, not daring to ventilate their pernicious relics of barbarism among the intelligent. They are not even entitled to the forbearance accorded to fanatics, for to fanatics is conceded sincerity, which Mormons do not possess. Their pretended religion is based upon the vilest and most corrupting of human passions. Their canting hypocrisy is not at all concerned as to whether the ignorant souls they betray go to heaven, or to “hades,'' what they want is proselytes to people their great territories, to be brought into the Union as Mormon States. Then, freed from Federal interference, they would, by their State laws, legalize polygamy and thus establish the earthly Paradise of the Latter Day Saints. All proper effort to defeat their vile purposes and to sump out a growing evil, so hide ous in ali its features, should command the zealous support of every good citi zen. The Avengers on Guitean’s Track Guiteau seems to have reconsidered his purpose to apply for release on bail, if, indeed, he actually contemplated such a course. It is probably well for him that he has determined not to push the impertinent demand, and his aban donment of the project is probably due to his own consciousness that his life would not be worth a counterfeit nickel from the moment he should be deprived of the protection of the jail and the soldiers who guard it. There is no doubt that there are many men in this country who have inflexibly determined to kill Guiteau if be shall be set at liberty. There is, says the Tribune, at least one such man in Chicago. He is a cool, resolute, determined fellow. He is not a fanatic, but a man of good sense and sound mind. He has deliberately come to the firm conviction that it is his duty to rid the world of Guiteau, when ever the latter shall be turned loose. He says that he does not feel any responsi bility in the case so long as Guiteau shall be in the hands of the law —whether he be in jail, in the penitentiary, or the insane asylum. But the moment Gui teau shall be turned loose, whether tem porarily or permanently, this man pro poses to follow him, find him, and kill him, if he shall be anywhere within the boundaries of the United States. The avenger swears that Guiteau shall not be safe on the street, in the cars, in a hotel, or in church, or at his home, if he has any, nor in any place where another may reach him. There is not the slight est doubt that this Chicagoan is in fear ful earnest about the matter —as earnest and determined as Guiteau himself was in his purpose to assassinate the Presi dent. Governor Blackburn's Opinion.— Governor Blackburn, of Kentucky, who, we believe, is a doctor, speaking of President Garfield’s condition a few days since, said; “I thought at the time the President was shot that his wound would prove mortal. I still think so, and he will undoubtedly die. I believe the ball was deflected, and struck the spinal column, affecting the great nerve. Nothing else could account for the pains in his feet. Thi3 thing you noticed in the papers about their getting him to sign bis name in order to test his nerves, is all foolishness. It is my opinion that they got his name signed for the purpose of calling Congress together in the event of his death.” There are now lying in the jail at St. Louis, awaiting trial, fifteen murderers, a larger number, says a journal of that city, than are confined for the same crime in any other city in the world. It might also be added, truthfully, that more per sons who have committed murder have escaped the proper penalty in St. Loui9 than anywhere elre. The fact that "hanging is played out” there, probably accounts for the frequent murders. A few evenings ago a man was shot dead on one of the busiest corners of St. Louis streets, ngbt under the broad glare of an electric light, yet the assassin or assassins escaped, and no clue throwing light on the crime has so far been dis covered. The Hour, a weekly paper published in New Y'ork, makes the positive an nouncement that Hon. Samuel J. Tilden is in the field as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President in 1884. TLe Hour says that “with the shrewdness and foresight,for which he is remarkable,be has carefully surveyed the field and has reached the conclusion that the time has come for the redress of the great wrong which he believes was done to himself, to his party and to the coun try by the reversal of the popular verdict and the inauguration of a “fraudulent President" in 1876. It appears that ex Senator Conkling Las determined to re-enter politics. He proposes to make a fight for control of the Utica delegation to the coming State convention. More than that, he intends to go to the convention as the boss of that delegation. The ex Senator's friends are counting a great deal upon the State Central Committee. That body was made up under the rule “put none but Conklingites on guard;” but because a majority were Conkling men then It does not follow that they atilt continue to be blind adherents of that gentleman. A YISIT TO THE COTTON EXPO SITION GROUNDS. Oglethorpe P*k Belli* Converted Into Level* Champ Biyaees fo* the World to Wander Through. Atlanta Corretpvndenet of the Nev. Orleans Picayune. Under the imperial-flsating International Cotton Exposition flag that sways proudly ft/'i-rma Marietta street, in front of Mr. H. I. Kimball’s office, unfurling to the world what wonders can be wrought of energy and enterprise, with a bounding heart, eager to explore the grounds,we took the outward car, and after thirty minutes ride, entered the park. Sending in our letter introducto ry, and a rose-leaf card, we were greeted by the genial and cultivated Mr. Hirst, Super intendent of Departments, under whose courteous escort we were shown the buildings and grounds. Standing on the brow of the hiil zoned by green girdling terraces, a few paces from the entrance, we looked down on the mammoth main Expo sition building springing up like magic, to shelter the proud exhibits that shall ere long be brought from the four quarters of the globe, to be clustered into magnificent constellations of agricultural, manufactur ing and art acmes of supremacy, whose splendid triumphs will flutter from myriad parti—colored flags, and crowned with such rare rewards as await them, will herald to the world such a fair as never yet was held on patriotic American 6otl. This main building Is in the shape of a huge cross, and is 720 by 400 feet long, each arm or wing being 96 feet wide the centre, where the wings Intercept, Is 100 feet square and Is to be crowned with a beautiful tower or dome, from which will float the imperial flag of the grand exposition this centre square is to be furnished with elevators, and in it are to be located four large engines, which are to propel all that intricate world of wonderful machinery, the steam coming from the boiler house near by, while a large pump house, located down by the lakes, will furnish ample supply of water for run nlng the machinery, extinguishing fire, and other purposes. This boiler and pump house are already in place, and the main building is rapidly nearing completion hundreds of windows will panel the sides of these outspreading wings, and glitter thickly along the crowning monitors that span the roof, making the whole quite another Crystal Palace; while all these win dows will be corniced and fringed with bright fluttering flags that will signal Atlanta’s proudest gala-day. The building, when painted and decorated, will present a brilliant and attractive aspect. The decora tions, we are told, are to be very beautiful and elaborate. An extension track, that runs parallel with the rear of the building, will convey the freights to the very plat form, thus rendering ample convenience for exhibitors. At the extremity of the east end is the “Public Comfort,” a pretty build ing where refreshments are to be served; and the winding walks leading thereto will usher visitors into elegant ladies’ and gentlemen’s parlor#. Near the west end —forty feet detached —is to be a Department of Railroads, where our railroad magnates are to exhibit the miner als found, and the various woods growing along their lines, thereby showing the rich resources of the sections through which they pass, farther on, beyond the old amphitheatre, a saw mill is to be erected, those many rare woods may be converted Into bulldingland cabinet material. And then a vast department for exhibiting fertlliz.rs looms up with rich promise of production, Just outside the broad promenade that en circles these mighty departments, and on the southwest of the Exposition building, is spread the mammoth restaurant, where the hungry multitude may feast on the choicest viands that ever tempted the palate of epi curean. At the main entrance of the park will be found the Departments of Admission, Medl cine and Protection; and fronting these, occupying the space of honor, will rear their proud crests, the augu-t Judges’ Hall, and the imperial Press Buildiog, where our gallant Knights of the Quill will herald to the world the doings of the mighty Exposi tlon. Telegraphic conveniences will also be completed. Northward, over a few circling terraces, rises majestically the Art Gallery, on whose consecrated altars will gleam and burn the sculptures and paintings of Earth’s gifted, and Genius will assert her supremacy. There are many other buildings in course of con struction, whose dimensions and purposes it would require much space beyond our limit to describe, but which, when complet ed, will add incomparable beauty and use fulness to the place, especially the large building where hundreds of bales of cotton are to be exhibited. But we should not forget the large hotel being erected just outside the park, on the city side, with a capacity to accommodate five or six hundred guests. Nor the system of admission which is being so perfectly completed that every possible convenience for admission, and even rail car tickets, Is offered, leaving no possible cause for deten tion, confusion, or Inconvenience, either at the gates of admission or exit. This system is faultless, being projected by the efficient Mr. Jos. Hirst (one of the superintendents of the Centennial), and the entire manage ment being in the hands of such able offi cers as Messrs. Chas. T. Sabin and J. C. Peck and others, which Mr. Kimball mar shals around him, will Insure us a grand success. Thus, brain, brush, hamtqer snd trowel and spade are busy in hundreds of willing hands, driving the great work to completion, reminding one of the quaint aphorism, “Blessed are they that push, for their place shall be first.” Among the most interesting and attractive features are the many flourishing cotton plats, beautiful and luxuriant since the late showers, that look already ambitious of showing their power, in the princely plants that will in due time grow Into the royal Victoria Regia of staples, who#e boll wrought Koh-I-Noors will expand Into the proud, white Imperiality of a crown and fleecy sceptre that sways the world. Verily, our “Cotton Is King!” In the*e pretty plats is growing cotton from all climes where it is grown—from the rare Cassa and Adin Smyrna, Egyptian, Brazil and Japa nese long staple, to common country. What a grand triumph will It be, this bringing together the Northern and Eastern manu facturer and the Southern planter, to clasp hands in one common interest, and go forth to a proud future pregnant with wealth and power. Having made ample provisions for the comfort and convenience of product and progress, matter of fact mana’acture, and •the rivals, agriculture and art, be sure our wise and efficient directors have not forgot ten the want# of those whose tastes are wstbetic, and delight in the picturesque, and enjoy choice bits of landscape. Within the four angles of the main building, the ground space is to be wrought into loyely parterres, grass plots and mossy banks shaded with rare shrubbery and evergreens, where the plashing and purlir.g of foun tains will murmur with the whir of busy machinery. The entire grounds are under going a remodeling and ornamental culture that is charming to contem plate. Terraces —that are begin ning to glow with the tender young tufting of grasses—wind you Into the loveliest promenades,and along magnifleent drives, then fall down gentle slopes that sweep you deep into the sweet, cool shad ows of groves, and leafy grottoes embower ed of water oaks, relieved against the ten der penciling of the pines that gloom out side the walls. These groves are to be filled with rustic seats, ample and inviting; while there is no lack of bonny banks, rustic Al plne-like bridges where perrhance meetings and trystings may be plighted; while the willows dip their flexile fingers in the lim p.'d lakes, and winding bridle-paths lead off Into the dreamful darkness of green ferny grottoes where weary Age may res', happy Childhood gambol, and Young Love whisper Its troth-plight. The two lakes (which are soon to be poeti cally named) are the gems of the park. Bronze fountains are to throw out jets of spray from the centre of these lakes, to glint in the soft autumn sunshine, while lovely little steam yachts are to 6hoot from shore to shore, and perhaps a gay gondola now and then glide by with its freight of youth and beauty. All over the grounds are numerous pump 6 here and there, yielding waters pure as gash from mountain rocks to fill crystal chalices for the multi tude to quaff. Sweeping arouDd the grand drive, half hidden in a leafy dell wild with fern, and brier, and glance of brooklet, is to be the quaint “log cabin,” contrasting Its undivided inheritance of primitive back woods life with the gay queen city whose great heart throbs madly under the uplifted towers and minarets just agleam over the bills. Imagine this fine Dark at high tide of the Exposition, one vast billow of life, with spray scattered all over the hills and ter races, through halls and pavilions, and every “breakneck coign of vantage." Meanwhile suppose we—“as now without miracle, Muse Clio enables us, take our sta tion also on some coign of vantage and glance momentarily over the procession and this life sea with far other eyes than the rest do, namely, prophetic." Ah how pro phetic of international good I bow full of the Dromise of a rare fruitage does the fra grance of this exposition flower waft ns, perfuming with prosperity all the future of our country. October is always lovely In the South, and the Exposition will fulfill onr proud expectancy, and we send greet ing to all the world to come and see us, to contribute to its grandeur, and rejoice with os in its triumph. M. J. P. It is stated that Gen. Robert Lowery, the Democratic nominee for Governor of Mississippi, like President Andrew John son, was taught to read by his wife, since which he has risen to be one of the most influential men in the State. His nomination is equivalent to an elec tion, and it is understood that the same influences that brought about his nomi nation will probably defeat the re-elec tion of Senator Lamar for the Senate. NOTES FROM NEW YORK.

NkwYork, August 13.—The important busi ness interests of New- York are now represent ed at Niagara Falls. There the American Bank ers Association is holding its annual session, representing over eight billion of dollars. How easy it is to talk about this great sum. Yester day and to-day, a Southern gentleman, Mr. Thomas Henry, of Alabama, is presiding over the deliberation of this wonderful financial body. They behave very much as a congress of doctors, or any other body of professional men might, and he who looks as I did for a sensation among them, or anything else, to distinguish them from the plain, ordinary men of every day affairs, loots in vain. The greatest matters of importance they have known is, of course, Secretary Windom’s paper on government finances. Probably no article on finance has received the attention, or ex cited the comment, within ten years, that this is now doing. Itdeals with the refunding act, or rather with the refunding action of the United States Government, in the most liberal way, and, in so far. It is a history of the Secre tary’s stewardship of the United States Treas ury. He could not have found in the United States an audience of more libers’ critics. The most eminent financier this country knows, although a man who deals in finances for his own interests only, is probably Jay Gould. I wish to quote what he said verbatim, as it appears up -rn the note book of a short hand reporter to wh ni he expressed his opinion thismorning: “Congress determined that the debt comprising the bonds which the national banks are compelled by law to hold, should be refunded at a lower rate of interest than was paid to the national banks, and after very delib erate consideration fixed 1 per cent, as the rate which ought to be adopted Mr. Hayes vetoed this bill, and assumed thereby for the Republi can party the responsibility of wasting upon the national banks so much of the public money as made the difference between interest at 3 per cent, and interest at 5 or 6 per cent, on all of the public debt refundable and not refund able according to act of Congress. He lhus presented the national banks with one half of 1 percent, interest m all the bonds which they were required to hold If the officers of those banks are not obliged to him they are an ex tremely ungrateful set of people. What Con gress ought to do is to confirm the authority under which the Secretary acted,with the sim ple proviso that the rate of interest shall here after be reckoned at 3 per cent. In that case, pernaps by the next meeting of the National Association of Bankers, there will not be so many expressions of gratitude as are now heard on every side in that body.” It is scarcely necessary to say right here that the national banks and Jay Gould have noth ing in common, and hoy much interest either, of them have in comrron with the greatest number of people in the country at large is very difficult to determine. However. Mr. Gould’s criticism has this important quality, in the fact that it is a knowing man’s personal observations, and that tkat man speaks for a representation of nearly eighty-five millions of dollars The business of the hankers in this general session which they are holding is the inter change of opinions upon finance and monetary topics. Much attention has been drawn to these bankers for the las; three days, and it does seem that every kind of statement, and every extremity of belief is to be found among them. For instance, banker John Thompson, of the Chase National Bank of New York city, in presenting a paper on the subject of panics, said that at present there is but one alarming indication of trouble, and that is the number and magnitude of new enterprises invpiving thg'issuance of millions and millions. He continued by uttering words of warning to bank managers, particularly those at the head of deposit banks. He said that at this time they should use the deposits received by them with the utmost caution and conservation and to be ready to meet their “demandg and obli gations” even in the height of a raging panic. His remarks were of suen genera! interest that a few of their salient points are worth repeat ing. "The spirit of speculation." he said, "is bordering on gambling. This is p&rticularly true f New Y'ork. it is almost equally true of every community in the country Kentucky gambles upon its hemp crop, Georgia upon its cotton, Virginia upon its tobacco, and nearly every locality risks its money in one way or another upon its chief staple. It is safe to say that during the past teu years nine out of every ten ventures have netiei a profit. 1 his is be cause almost generally prices have advanced. When a panic shall come, as surely it will, then ail ventures will be losses, and many will come to grief. “Banks that undertax negotiations which, if fortune favors, will yield enormous dividends, but if fortune fails bankruptcy is inevitable, must always stand in the category of doubtful Institutions. Gentlemen, we are positively coming to it fast, and I conceive it to be our duty toputon the brakes, that the wreck, when it does come, may be the less disastrous. “Early one morning in 1873 the active mangers of three of the principal banks in New York city were invited to the office of Jay Cooke Cos. They were told that $1,000,u00 were nec essary by ten o’clock to save that house from protest. ‘What security do you eff-r?’ was asked.’ Answer: ‘None; our securiti-g are ali used.’ It is needless to sa> that me million was not forthcoming. We left. In fifteen minutes Wall street was in a panic. That was only a duplicate of what took place iu 1857. That fifteen minutes was the first note of warn ing that was given of the Impending financial crisis. No one knew except the members of that fated house, and perhaps they did not ap preciate the extreme possibilities to ensue of the great danger. I refer to these events in history to show that panics come t;poc u; with out warning, and paqics culminate in revul sions of some five years duration. Gentlemen, lain not prophesyii gto you. lam only ring ing the bell of warning for us to slow up and guard our assets. Nothing in the psst will compare with what is in the future. The ne gotiations and issues of stocks and bonds have been more than fourfold what they were in 1873." Mr. Thompson is a plain spoken, earnest sort of a man, whose remarks cariy> ith them a weight not apparent in their printed reproduc tion. When he had finished reading he seemed to have given that banking assemblage more to thine about than they had known for a long time. The prospect of a panic is by no means shown now. and in a conversation with Mr. Libbey, manager of A. T. Stewart Co.’s great dry goods business, I was told that it was a long way off, or, if near, would not arise in the manufacturing or mercantile world. “It may come," he said, “from almost anj where else.” I daresay too many railroads are build ing, too many ventures are being made and too many promises to pay. but it is not in legiti mate trade circles that such conditions prevail. The entire tendency of trade is toward a shorter system of credit, and although busi ness is larger in volume than it ever has been before, and the kinds of goods bought are of a better standard of quality, the trade is healthy beyond parallel, ’i his is true of all manufac tured articles, fabrics, hardware and food pro ducts as well. “I don't believe," he said fur ther, “that any financial crisis is impending. Certainly I don't recognize the signs of it in the business horizon which I command.” The same feeling as to trade prevails in almost every circ e The volume of east and west bound freights is so enormous that the freight depots and cars are taxed to their ut most, and the movement of ocean bound Is beyond precedent. There is not to-day an elevator on the Atlantic seaboard north of Baltimore that is not working to its fullest ca pacity, and this is true in the face of the fact that the enormous new crop which is now har vesting has not been started on its journey for export. Bo great is the demand for trans portation servi-e to the West that the trunk lines are unable to move more than seven eighths of it, and slower routes are obtaining a remunerative carrying trade out of this condi tion of affairs. The coastwise steamers plying between New York.Boston,Philadelphia and the Southern ports, such qs Norfolk, Charleston. Savannah, and even New Orleans, have an abundance of freight offered them that seeks delivery in the extreme Northwest. Such a movement as this bids fair to bring to the Cen tral Railroad of Georgia the reward for Its am bitious friends, and she may become in the face of extraordinary difficulties one of the recogniz;d lines of transportation between Ihe upper Mississippi valley and the manu facturing and commercial centres of New Eng land. Surely such a result would demonstrate the eccentricity by which trade channels are maintaiued. anq beaides that, would prove of incalculable benefit to Bavannah; but I have rambled long enough about trade, and perhaps there are some of the lady readers of the News who would be interested in something less statist cal la its expression and quite as im portant in its facts. Do you know that arsenic eatlrg has become a vice as prevalent among women in this city as drinking at bars is among men? I would hate to Bpeak of the figures, but they run into hundreds of thousands. There is no way of estimating the exact number. It is as insidi ous as opium and twice as dangerous. It is of course a dreadful temptation to a woman to let her know there Is anything that will make her prettier, whatever the price to be paid for it, and however short the time of iu good effect. Its use is confined to no one class. The leaders of the aristocracy, the demimonde, the actress aud the shop girl furnish its victims It is not easy to detect the arsenic eaters on the street, there are so many feminine arts for conceal ment. It is only when the victim is approach ing the last stages of her slavery that the bad effect# of its use are shown. If the eye lids are puffed, fashion permits the u*e of a filmy lace half veiL If the complexion is cold and clammy, a few touches of rouge relieve iu pallor. Among the shop girls the use of ar senic is most general. In some of the stores the unfortunate girls have actually been com pelled to take arsenic to retain their positions. Dr. Hammond, who makes this statement, said further that arsenic had become the moat dangerous drug in common use. and referring to the fact thst some shop girls had been re quired by their employers to take It, gave the following incident: "About three years ago a youngj girl, not more than eighteen years old, came to aee me, and asked for a prescription fur arsenic and directions for In use. I asked her why she wanted to take it. She replied. To fatten me.’ Poor child, she did need fattening, for she was very thin, and her expressive eyes stood out from her wan cheeks, and had the saddest look I have ever seen on a girl’s face, but the fattening she should have had would have been from rett,good food and pure air, and she was too poor to have either. I tried to reason with her, told her what the evil effects of it would be, but with out avail. The forewoman of the store had said to her, ‘You are so lean that you look like a death’s head. Customers hate to see you about. You trill have to get fatter or go somewhere eise.’ ‘How can I get fat?” ane had asked. ‘Take arsenic,' the forewoman had replied. The wages were good, the work not beyond her strength; if she left she might not soon get So good a place again, so she came to me to help her take arsenic. Of course I refused, but a fe w months later I met her on the street and saw that someone else had done that which I nad declined to do; she was ylunip, her skin bad a watery whiteness, hei form had rounded out, and her eyelids showed that she had been tak ing a great deal of the poison. I said, ‘I see that you have got the arsenic Bhe simply answered “yes,’ with a sigh. Subsequently I had the curiosity to inquire about the girl at the store where she had been employed, ‘She has been gone several months; I don’t know what has become of her,’ asti her fore woman; 'she (rot some hideous disease on her face so that we really could not have her around, she would have frightened customer* away.’ Making further inquiries, I found that the woman had died in a pauper’s cot at Belle vue Hospital.” NOTXB. The Cornell University crew,which left here to bring back from foreign ahores all the honor that oarsmen can win, will receive a cool greet ing from athletes on their return. The opin ion prevail here that the Americans have done too much loafing, and taken too little exercise. Politics begins to show its diminished head again in Sew York city. A movement is in progress to form a third Democratic organiza tion in this city. It will be antagonistic to Tammany Hall and the regular county De mocracy. It is scarcely necessary to say that the Republicans foster this movement in every possible way. and look for it to secure for them the local elections this fall, and the assured control of the entire State in the next Guber natorial contest. The State Democracy is not in high feather this year. Leo Hartman, the Nihilist, bobs up serenely in a letter to the Herald this morning, and gives Rome new and important features of the war between the Nihilists and the Czar. He says that he is followed by a manlnamedTraghalm, who has sought to involve him in every kind of trouble, but so far without avail. There is no belief that Hartman will be delivered to the Russian authorities by the Federal Govern ment, although the request was made for his extradition. Encouraged by the cool weather the theatres of the city have liegun to open their doors. As yet nothing of good dramatic calibre has been presented, and the amusement season gives no indication of prosperity or failure in the rather bucolic audiences that sparsely fill the open houses. Over in Newark, eight miles from New York, the city authorities being afraid to remove a poor man who was suffering from small pox, fenced him into an open lot and let him die there. The Chinese could scarcely do worse than that. The railroad men have finally come to an agreement, and the new schedule for certain kinds of freight is to take effect on the 22d of August. People who took advantage of the low rate3 during the war can now gloat over the less forehanded. During the prevalence of the railroad war there was an enermous falling off in the business of the canals, whereby the canal boatmen became the sufferers. This class of men numbers some eighty-five thou sand. Perhaps their misfortune is the ad vance guard of the panic that Mr. Thompson talke i about to the bankers. At least they re gard it so beyond doubt. A theatrical manager well known in Savan nah and in the South died in a station house the other day, the victim of dissipation and gambling. His nurae-CharlesE. Furbish—will be remembered by many. It was under bis management that the first attractions of “Divorce,” “Article 47,” and "The Two Or phans,” appeared in the South. Camp meeting season is now in full blast. A camp meeting now a-days in this reeion is the most important s >cial epoch of the Methodist faith.

Educational. SALEM ACADEMY, SALEH, N. C. THIS institution commends Itself to the pub lic as a notably pleasant and safe home and high class school for girls and young women. It has during the past few years been great ly improved. Its scholastic arrangements have been remodeled and its standards advanced. It now offers all the advantages of similar insti tutions of the highest grade. A large number of instructors is employed, and painstaking in struction is guaranteed. It offers a liberal English, or English and Classical course for graduation, and, under its new administration, has already graduated (with diploma) four very promising classes. The Domestic Arrangements of the Academy have latterly been readapted to secure to its resident pupils the largest measure of comfort and convenience. Eight resident teachers are continually in charge, and give special atten tion to the cultivation of correct manners and habits in growing girls. Systematic and en lightened thyßical culture and care of health are prominent features in the improvements recently perfected. Exceptional facilities are offered for the study of Music. The results of practical work in its Music Department during the past few years would warrant the Academy, in the judgment of competent critics, in inviting com parison with any similar institution in the south. A two to three years’ Graduating Course (with diploma) has quite recently been introduced. Special attention is directed to the advan tages now also obtainable in the Department of Drawing and Painting, which has been re organized and placed in charge of a lady of spe* ial ability and superior training. A high standard of excellence will be maintained and the best methods observed. A variety of branches of study is offered and careful tuition The 78th year begins September 1, 1881. Rkv J. T.

Her general busi ness, which has heretofore languished In the summer months, has continued throagh the entire yer. Nearly 900,000 bales of cotton have been received at this port dur ing the season just closed, and we have every reason to expect that these figures will be Increased during the coming year to over 1,009,000. A like large increase In receipts has taken place In naval stores, rice and timber, and other principal pro ducts. This improvement in trade has affected all interests, and our merchants, mechanics, and business men generally, have been benefited by it. With such a retrospect we may confidently predict a prosperous fall and winter trade. The annual review of the markets for the commercial year will be issued on Satur day, September 31, and we propose to make this edition a special feature, the same as was done laat year, and which met with such a decided support from our enterprising merchants. The review will be presented In the form of a mammoth eight-page sheet, and in size and make up will surpass any thing of the kind which has ever been pub lished In the cotton growing States. It will comprise a summary of the business of the city during the previous twelve months, Including its mer cantile interests in all their various branches, and also a resume of Its shipping and com mercial news for that period. This issue of the Horsing Nrws will be one which every citizen, whether a business man or not, will take pride in sending abroad as an evidence of the prosperity of his city and section In which he lives, and will give to those who have never before examined into the matter a proper appreciation of Savannah’s impor tance as the commercial emporium of the two most progressive States in the Southern eeetion of the American U nlon. The Trade Issue of the Morning News, In addition to being sent to all the dallj subscribers by carrier and mail, will be mailed to every subscriber to the Tri Weekly News, the Weeklt News and the Southern Farmer's Monthly, which, with the copies sent out to addresses furnished us by our advertisers, will give It an aggre gate circulation of 30,000 to 35,000 copies among 100,000 people wbo look to the Morning News for information on all sub jects, and who represent the purchasing interest of their localities. This edition will thus find Its way Into every household in the immense area of country directly tributary to Savannah, and at a time when the people have means to purchase and are buying supplies for the fill and winter, and when an advertisement will have the effect of a direct communica tion from the merchant to the buyer. Advertisements prepared and estimates furnished on application at Morning News counting room. Rates as usual. Overloaded Drays. Wd hswa rwfprwMl f\n nrr**fnn to the cruelty practiced by some dravmen towards their animals. One may chance on Bay street only a few minutes and witness conduct which should have the terious at tention of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Some of the drays are loaded too heavily with cotton, and the teams, In ascending the steep bill at tte foot of Lincoln street, labor painfully, and the brutal driver vents bis anger by beating the poor beasts unmercifully with his whip. The agent of the Louise King Association should keep a lookout for such cases. An example or two would have a salutary effect. Don't Forest It. In the midst of business duties, which as the opening of the regular commercial sea son draws nearer, become more pressing, do not forget or neglect to prepare your ad vertisement for the mammoth Trade Edition of the Morning News, which will be issued on the 31 of September. It will not do to have tbifc valuable publication circulated amt ng one hundred tcousand readers with out yoor announcement. So while there Is time prepare year matter. First Sea Inland Cotton. Tee firm* bag of the new crop of sea island cotton was received yesterday by Messrs. W. W. Gordon A Cos. It was shipped to them by Mr. Ransom T. Prescott, of Echols eonrty, Georgia, from his plantation, near the Florida line. It weighs 303 pounds and classes as “Good Florida” cottOß. Steamer Plunt Gives this day another pleasant family excursion to Tybee, leaving here at 10 a. m. Returning will leave Tybee at ft p. m, thereby giving excursionists plenty time for enjoyment.

A bill entitled “An act to Incorporate the New England and Southern Steamship Com pany” will be Introduced at the present session of the Legislature. The southwestern section of the city is troubled with burglars, and they are after money, not articles, as the appearance of several places visited by them shows. Wm.

This morning those friends are called to assemble at the same sacred edifice, to pay the last tribute of respect to the memory of the fair young bride, and there will be bitter tears Instead of bright smiles. A telegrim received In the city yesterday announced the death of Mrs. Roe in Atlanta at 7 o’clock In the morning, after a long, lingering Illness, that fell disease, consump tion, developing a few short weeks after the sacred word* were pronounced which made her a happy, beloved wife.

Her remains will arrive here this morning by the Central Railroad train, and will be con veyed to the Cathedral, where a requiem high mats will be offered up at 0 o’clock,and be followed by the funeral. On a Tear. Mention was made yesterday of the arrest of H. C. Johnson, a colored individual, who distinguished himself by getting drunk, tearing around town, and celebrating his arrival here from Augusta by banging off a pistol, to the imminent danger of peaceable citizens. This occurred on Sunday evening about seven o’clock, and the excitable war rior was snatched up by Policeman Mack, tnd waltz-d off to the barracks. It appears that he rejoices in the possession of two names, being known here, where he lived for sometime, as Chap Brown,but now appears as H. C. Johnson after his sojourn in Augusta. The interesting individual was presented at court- the Police Court —yester- day, when a statement of his pranks on Sun day night were made known. After his ar rest he was very violent, and resisted the officer. Chap Brown, alias H. Chap John son, was thereupon requested to fork over ten dollars In cash or retire to the seclusion of “Sinners’ Rest,” on Hall street. Being without the filthy lucre, he retired.
Marriage in C'bnrch. St. Patrick’s Church was last evening at 6 o’clock the scene of a marriage ceremoby which attracted a large number of relatives ..i h* Sovereign Grand Lodge* Circulars have been issued by the Com mittee of Arrangements at Cincinnati, giv ing the details of the order of exercises at tending the coming meeting of the Sover eign Grand Lodge I. O. O. F., in that city, on the 19tb of September, and as of interest to the fraternity here we give a resume: The headquarters of the Sovereign Grand Lodge will be at the Grand Hotel. Arrange ments have also been made with all the hotels for reduced rates by the Chairman of the Committee. D. J. Jone*. P. O. Box 1,326. The Committee on Entertainment, desir ous of not interfering with the business of the Sovereign Grand Lodge when In session, have invited the members of that body to be present and participate in an excursion to be given in their honor on Saturday, the 17th of September, when it is proposed to visit the National Military Home at Day ton. Tuesday, September 20, has been selected for the grand procession and unveiling of the magnificent monument now in the course of erection in Spring Grove Ceme tery. This monument will cost over $20,- 000, and will be one of the finest ever erect ed by the order, and as a work of art rarely equalled. It will occupy one of the most commanding sites in that most beautiful of all cemeteries. The Special Committee having charge of the procession desire all lodges, encamp ments or bodies of uniformed patriarchs who intend participating In the procession to advise them at an early date as possible the probable number of members they .will have, whether they will be accompanied by band; If 60, state numbers composing band; also, state what time you expect to arrive, and bv what railroad. It Is especi ally desired that the uniformed patriarchs will report the above Information asked, as early as 10th September, if possible, so they can be properly assigned in the procession. It is desirable that all visiting bodies com ply with the above request, so that proper provision mav be made for their reception. Lodges and encampments are requested to come provided with their regalia. All com municatlons in reference to the procession should be addressed to B. B. Innes, P. G. R., Chairman of Committee on Precession, P. O. Box 1323. Wednesday, September 21st, the Exposi tion Commissioners have designated as Odd Fellows’ Day, and they will receive the Sovereign Grand Lodge in a body some time during the afternoon of that day. The floral display on this occasion will no doubt be one of the finest of the season. The Ex position itself, with its grand display of works of art, of science and machinery, will well repay a visit to our city. It is also proposed by the committee to give, on Tuesday or Wednesday evening, a grand promenade concert (to which the members of the order and their families will be admitted free), to be given at the Highland House, situated on Mt. Adams, overlooking the city. The spacious rooms, Belvidere and large promenades admirably fit this house for an occasion of this kind. A Maimed Hand Lead* to the Detec tion of an Escaped Criminal. One of the negroes who was arraigned before the City Court yesterday and sen tenced to six months on the chain gang has a little history. On the 10th of January last this fellow, Jeffrey Williams, was con victed in the City Court and sentenced to six months on the chain-gang. He was returned with other prisoners to the jail in charge of Constable Smith, and was hand cuffed to another negro. When just about the front of the jail Williams slipped his hand from the bracelet and dashed off, fol lowed by the officer, who fired three shots after him, but he managed to eecape. It seems that Williams had lost two fingers from his left hand, to which the cuffs were attached, and this enabled him to slip bis hand through. He left the city aud was away several months, but hankering to see the olu haunts, he returned here recently, and before long became involved In some trouble and was arrested by a policeman. He was arraigned in the Police Court and fined $lO, aud not having the cash, was sent to the jail to be forwarded to Cuyler swamp. On Saturday evening his time ex pired and be was brought back to the jail to be discharged. Deputy Sheriff Goebel was present and accidentally noticed that two of the fingers of the left hand were gone, and immediately “rpotted'’ him as Jeffrey Williams, the negro wh.> bad es caped over six months ago. He v s under an assumed name, and at first .touted be was Williams, but finding denial was no use, finally acknowledged to the Identity. Instead of receiving bis discharge, he was escorted to a cell and locked up until yester day, when he was taken before Jutfge Har den, of the City Court, and there being no doubt of his identity, he was resentenced for the term of six months on the chain gang.
