As we are in formed. Mr. Bose considered the matter as a jest, and Mr. White looked on it as a trade, and thus perhaps originated some feeling that re sulted in a dreadful tragedy. We give the above as the most definite supposition in re gard to the matter.” Abuding to the visit of the Kentucky editors to the Atlan’a Exposition, the Louisville Cour ier-Journal thus descants: "The overworked mind* a-d bodies of the Kentucky legislators and editors of the rural press were given much needed rest and recreation by the good people of Atlanta yesterday We are much gratified at the information that the reception at the Exposition was 'a magnificent success,’ and that every man’s speech was the best, but that many were ’too tired’ to turn out to Henry Grady’s treat last night fills our perturbed souls with dire forebodings Can it be possible that a-y genuine corn cracker was beguiled by the seductive voice of the gentle goober erabber to depart from me ancient custom of his native land and mix *ugar with his—perish the half born thought! Th- soft air of the Sunnv Bouth was ever enervat ng to men of e older clime and —but ju-t wait and catch the tint of their noses when the boys come marching home from Georgia” The Soar-ta Ishmaetit makes the following suggestions: "We think it would be a good idea for landlords to make a change in the conditions on which they rent their lands to tenant-. It is customary now to take pay for rent almost solely in cotton The necessarv result of this course is to give an undue promi nence to the growing of cotton Asa conse quence. provision crops are almost entirely neglec’ed. Merchants. to, by insisting on a cotton guarantee for the payment of the bills of farmers and croppers, have largely contribu te* to bring about the present unfortunate state of affairs. However this may be. it sems that the time has come when the de mand for a change of policy ought to be uni versally heeded. By requiring at least por tion of rent to be paid in corn, oats wheat, meat, peas, potatoes, or other provisions, it would become absolutely necessary to psy more attention to provision crops. We make the suggestion for whatever it may be worth. One thing is sure. If the farms do not speedily becom-* self-aus taining, the agricultural Othello's occupation will soon be gone. If the people of Georgia raised half the cotton that is made in the United States and bought all their fertilizers ard provisions, and paid all of their other hills out of the proceeds of that crop, they would not be prneperom. Prosperity can result only from a self-sustaining agricultural system. To that end. we fhske the above suggestion with reference to a change in the conditions of rent, with the hope that the farmers will give it some consideration. Every possible indus try in the South necessarily depends on the success of the farmers: and it has been demon strated so that even a blind man can see it, that ‘all cotton and no provisions' leads to un avoidable disaster. The time has come when a change i absolutely necessary, and we sug gest the one embodied in this article. Thought ful farmers will consider it.” “Old Ironside*'’ Unworthy to he Repaired. New York Sun. Lying at ihe Brooklyn cavy yard, get aglde f s unfit for further use. Is the frigate C jngtltu'lon, Old Ironrldes.” On Sunday laet ghe was toweil from the Newport train ing ship squadron, and orders were received by Admiral George 11. Cioper, command ant of the navy yard, to put her out of com m'ss'oc, a ghe was unseaworthy and too worthless to be repaired. In a few days the CorsMiu’ion will take her place among the old hulks in Wallabout cretk, where, prob ably, ghe will be allowed to elowly drop to pieces. Several years ago the navy depart ment concluded to break lump, but the republlea’lun at the time of the old poem of Oliver Wendell Holmes, “Aye, tear her tat tered ersign down,” aroueei a popular pro test, and she wag repaired and converted ln*‘> a school ship. The Constitution was one of the largest of six frigates whose construction was or dered b Congress on March ‘27. 1794 She was launched in October, 1797. She was built in Boston, of the best live oak, and cos' #302,715. She began her career In the Tripolitan war In 1804, engaging against batteries mounting 115 guns. In Tripoli, and her broadsides assisted In recapturing 300 Anurican sailors who had been captured by the Tripolitans from on board of the frigate Philadelphia. In the war against Great Britain in 1812, ghe gained her famous vie tory over the British frigate Guerriere on August 19th. Oa December 26 h following the Constitution had an engagement with the British frigate Java, and after a hot con test took her a priz*. The follow log Tear, on a cruise on the coast of Guiana aid among the Windward Islands, she cap tured the British sloop of war Pictou, a let ter of marque, and several merchant vessels. Bne hire!v escaped heing captured by the British A e* in 1814 bv taking refuge In the harbrrof Salem, Mass. On February 20, 1815, during arother cruise, she captured, after an action of forty minutes, at, night, the British friga’e Cyane and the British s'oop Levant The latter was recaptured by a British squadron off the harbor of Porto Praya, ai (J Captain Stewart of the Constttu Hon, fearing that the neutrality of the port would not be observed, ran away with hts mher prize. The Cyane arrived in New york In April, 1815, and the Constitution a month later. During the administration of President Jackson, while the Constitution was moored in New Turk harbor, a curious Incident occurred. A figure hi ad of President Jack son had been put on the prow, and, the cir cumstance arousing the Indignation of a Lieutenant he determined that “Jackson should not go before the Constitution.” H“ therefore bebaaded the figure. The head was recovered and replaced by Commodore Elliott. It remained on the prow until the vessel was repaired for Centennial duty, when the efllgy wa* removed and placed on a pedestal on the grounds of the Annapolis Naval Acade my. The picure of Cap'cin Isaac Hull, who first commanded the Conatltgtlon In the war of 1812, hangs in the Governor’s room In the City Hall. The late Beekman von Hoffman, of this city, was ne of her Lieutenants, and Ogden von Hoffman, who died about five years ago, was one of her midshipmen In 1812. How Hirlbnt Vas Us^d- Waihtnqton -Speck4 to the New York Heraid, 19 th Mr. Huribut insisted that the Chilians should ileal with Calaeroa as the de facto ruler of Peru. Mr. Christiancy has said over hi* own name that Calderon’s was no de facto g vernment, and that every mem ber of the diploma’ic corps in Lima agreed with him In this. In fact, Ca’deron had no support or strength in Peru, except the Cniltan bayonets which guarded him. Why should Ilorlbu’ so strenuously and Imper tinently Insist on cramming Calderon upon tbe Chilians* Mr Bbipberd, the President of the Peruvian Company, In a published interview revealed th. reason. He said: .‘We have our agents In Pern and Calderon has admitted the justice of our claim. At twelve o’clock on the day that he was ar rested he vi, going to sign a formal ac knowledgment of the .aMonal Indebtedness to us. He was kidnapped at naif past nine bv the Chilians to prevent him from doing that.” Now It is seen here that, first, Calderon was hastily recoguized by the United B’ates. when oar own Minister and all the rest of the diplomatic corps unanimously agreed that he had not established a de facto gov ernment This, It is said by Senators, Is the first time in our history that the Uni’ed S-ates have done such a thing. This gov ernment recognizes de facto governments, but none others. Second. Calderon, possessed of no power or authority In Peru either of right, for he was not elected, or of force, for he had not even a police, and Chilian guns guarded him and his Congress, stood ready to assign the whole assets of Peru to a private com pany of speculators to the exclusion of Chill and all her other creditors. Who moved him to do this? What representa tions encouraged him to believe that such a huge assignment of national property made by a powerless and unauthorized person to an anonymous private corporation would have the least effect* When all the circumstances are put to gether the conclusion here is general tba’ the only explanation for the extraordinary conduct of l*oth Hurlbut and Calderon is that the ore had peisuaded the other that the United States would bully Chili into ad mitting the Peruvian Company as the great Intermediator acd makegood by force or authority the company’s ownership of Peru’s assets Evidently the Chilians thought so too. They carried off Calderon, and, as the Presi dent of the Peruvian Company dolorously admits, just in time to prevent his whole sale assignments to them. Now, what some grave Sena’ors want to know is: Who are the Peruvian Company* What influences have these persons been able to bring to bear on Hurlbut to Induce him to violate his explicit instructions and put the United Sta’es in the dishonest posl rion In Peru in which he puts us? A Con gressional Inquiry will no doubt be obtained to discover these and other facts In this great scandal. It is Intended by Senators and Representatives who are indignant at the disgrace of the transactions at Lima, and at the evident connection of this Peru vian company with them, to sift the whole intrigue to the bottom. WcakneM Cured. Lynn, Mass., Dec. 18, 1880. I gave that valuable medicine, Brown’s Iron Bitters, to my sl6ter for weakness. After taking two bottles she was able to walk and ran as well as ever.

The pas sengers consisted of six negroes, four of whom have reached the city. Two are Ing, but are supposed to be or board of one of the vessels anchored In the stream. The steamer belonged to Ravenel, Holmes Cos., of this city, and was built here, and had been running on the line about, two months. The vessel is insured for #15,000. The loss on the cargo will reach nearly #40,000, and as far as cgn be ascertained this was not insured. TIIE HENNEPIN CANAL. Tbe Project Warmly Endorsed lu New York. Chicago, 111 December 23— J. M. Allan, of Genesee, and J. H. Murphy, of Davenport, representatives of the Hennepin Canal Commission, appointed to visit New York In the Interest of the canal,returned to the city yesterday. In an Interview, Major Allan said: “Judge Murphy and myself bad found all of the commercial Interests of New York, like those of Chicago and the Northwest, to be In favor of the canal. No opposition to the scheme was encountered except from a few railroad men who were afraid the canal might prove Inimical to their interests In Buffalo, New Vork city and Washington. The canal representatives found transporta tion to be the paramount question of In terest in business circles. The completion of Hennepin canal was deemed on all sides to be necesary for the full development of the commerce of the great Northwestern States, which now paid out money enough every year to build two such canals.” NEWARK’S TREASURY.

That the “no rent” mani festo has caused such a run upon the re sources of the Land League that they must soon be exhausted, and that, probably, a general adoption of the “no rent” policy will lead to such exis jeratlon that there will be organ'z ;d attacks on the military and police, which attacks can be effectually stamped out and the League with them.

A special from Knoxville gives an almost literal fulfillment of a dream. A man dreamed for two nights In succession that be had been shot by a neighbor in the hip. A few days thereafter he attended a shnotiDg match, and his neighbor of whom be bad dreamed let his gun fall, and the conten's entered the dreamer’s body, killing him almost instantly. Hon. John B.

TH E J FA NN ETTE’S MISSING BOAT What the Navy Department Will Do About It—Llentcnant Dannenhow er Supposed to Have Commaud of It. Washinaton Star. Naval officers are of the opinion, although nothing Is said about It, that Lieutenant Dannenhower had charge of the missing boat which has not yet been heard from. In accordance with his rank, he would be given charge of one of the three boats. The Rod gers, which was sent to search for the Jean nette, is win’ering in the Bay of St. Law rence, just south of Behring’s Straits. If nothing further is heard from the missing boat,! tie Rodgers will be communicated with as early as possible and directed to search for her. if ihe is heard from, the Rodgers will be directed to come home as early as possible. This programme has not been officially determined upon, but it is the one that, without much doubt, will be adopted. Secretary Hunt will call the bureau officers of the Navy Department Into council, and after discussion by them the plans to be pursued by the department will be matured. It would take seven weeks to communi cate with the Rodgers by telegraph. She is about 1,190 miles distant from the mouth of the Lena river. A search party from her might find the boat at or near the mouth of the Kolyma or Indighirka rivers. That would be about five hundred miles from where the Rodgers Is. It Is thought that tbe missing boat, if it reached land, put in near either one of these two rivers. In hisjlast dispatch (Japt. Berry, of the Rodg ers, notified the Navy Department that he Intended to fend a party to tjie great fair which Is held annually every fall near the mouth of the Kolyma river. As the people come to that fair from all sections of that part of Siberia, it will be a very good place to hear about any strangers who have landed lu their country. The party has already started, and will probably learn the fate of the missing boat before any instructions to hunt for It can reach them. Another Crank Caged, Washington Special to New York Herald, 20f h. In regard to the crank who was forcibly ejected from Mr. Scoyllle’s boarding house Mrs. Scoville gives the following account: “Tbe day that Mrs. Dunmire was on the stand a strange looking man. tall of stature and quite pale, with a red handkerchief around his ntek, spoke to roe as I came out of the court house. He said he was a phy sician, and as Mr. Scovllle needed some assistance he Intended to offer his services. He was quite earnest in what he said, ami came Into the house where we board to see Mr. Scoville. He talked several minutes with Mr. Scovlllo, and said he would return the next day. When be came back 1 was alone In the parior. Ho told me that, be was inspired by God and Detec tive McElfresh to protect Mr. Scovllle from some person who intended to kill hun. He showed me a silver probe which he had for this purpose, acd 1 became some what alarmed. Re tpld tba landlady that would risy all night, and he was accord ingly given a r rtoui When tbe aeryant girl went up with water he nflSde minute in quiry about the room In which Mr. Sccvllle sleeps, and al6o showed her the silver probe which he said was to be used for killing the man that Intended to murder my husband. Tne servant was so badly frightened that it was some time before we eould get her to tell what the strange man had said. We notified the authorities, and about twelve o’clock at night six officers came to our boarding house and arrested the Intruder They kept him confined until morning, when his brother, who Is said to be a well known citizen, had him released. His brother says that the msn Is tubject to these spell*, but at other ilmc6 is of sound mind and pursues his pro fession, that of medicine. He had a bundle of keys with him and said he lmsgined that some ore from Nebraska was coming here to kill Mr. Sooville. Owing t-> the num ber of letters of a threatening nature that have been received I do not know but what this man was here to execute some murderous plot. When he first came In he said he would not speak where outside per sons could hear him, as he did not know whom to trust. We let him have the room, so as to make sure of bis capture, but I think it would have been much better for the authorities to have caused an examina tion to be made of the man, so as to confine and prevent him from doing injury while under these Insane delusions.'* The Nautch girls who dance in one of the most famous Hindoo temples are de scribed as wearing a short, tight chemise, firmly fastened under the breast, being only long enough to cover the bosom, a neat petticoat from the waist, and over this is disposed in graceful folds a single robe of silk, in shape like a very long but narrow sheet, extending downward to near the ankles.

A Bogue Wbo Associated Wltb Ballroad King* and Senators. New York Special to Philadelphia Press, 20th It was found to-day that the organizer of the “United Globe Electric Light Com pany.” of New York, is the forger, W. E. Gray, who caused a sensation In Wall street in 1868 by raising and passing forged bonds to the amount of SBOO,OOO, and who is at present out on bail, having succeeded in securing a new trial upon the ground of newly dis covered evidence after he had been sen tenced to the State prison for ten years. The scheme in which Gray is now engaged was apparently planned before he reached this country, after being extradited from England. Police Captain Kealey, who brought him over, said to-day that Gray’s one subject of conversation while crossing the ocean was electric lights. After being released on ball he immediately set to work to carry out his plans. He Is a man of education, refined tastes and good manners. His first step was to secure suitable apart ments. This he did at 297 Fifth avenue, where he rented the entire second floor, fit ted the rooms up nicely, and had his name engraved upon a plate on a private bell pull. Then he proceeded to set his net to catch his victims, presenting to them the following plan, saying lhat he owned one or two patents in electric light: He proposed S form a company to buy up all other pat ents, to consolidate conflicting interests and in this wav to “control the electric light of the world.” It made but little difference how much capital was needed, he said, be cause It was all to be represented by stocks, which would be Issued to the United States Electric Light Company, the Maxim, the Brush, and any other companies that might be brought up. Gray fixed upon Cornelius Vanderbilt, the eldest son of William H. Vanderbilt. He next convinced I. K. Roberts, the son of the late M. O. Roberts, that Mr. Vanderbilt had consented to be the President of tbe company. Mr. Roberts thoroughly believed this. Through Gray’s glibness of tongue, he became interested and began to work to induce other men to come into the scheme. It was decided that Senator Jones, of Ne vada, would be an influential director. So, Mr. Roberts, remembering that he had been a school-mate of Senator Jones’ father-in law, Collector Sullivan, of the port of San Francisco, wrote glowing accounts of the plan to Mr. Sullivan, telling him that it was a chance seldom offered, and that tbe stock holders all could get rich without risking a dollar. Mr. Sullivan, knowing, of cource, who Mr. Roberts was, began to Influence his son-in-law, but the Benator was Incredulous. He refused to go Into the scheme, saying that he was entirely a mining man, and had enough to do. While this was going on in California, Gray was not idle here. Through the wife of a prominent mer chant in New York, who had already done eveiything possible for him during his trial, Gray was introduced to Assistant United States District Attorney Alfred R. Conkling, 6on of ex Senator Conkling. Mr. Conkliug was easily won over. The scheme was prac tical, he thought, and as he was to be the attorney he thought he could see that every thing was conducted properly. About the time that Mr. Conkling began to work to promote the scheme, Senator Jones came East. The failure to secure the Sena tor’s name on the Pacific coast did not discourage Gray. He urged Mr. Conkling to call upon the Senator, and Mr. Conkling did so. at the same time introducing Gray. The forger brought all the powers of con versation to bear, to show how easily the scheme could be successful. He talked as If he had immense wealth and had power to do what he undertook, no matter what dif ficulties might be encountered. He offered to place his box at the opera at the disposal of Senator Jones, wife and family, when they came to the city. Finally Jones raid he would be a director. Gray was identified to-day as he was leaving No. 297 Fifth ave nue. Your reporter recogniz'd him as Grav, the organizer of the company, and the de tective recognlisd him as Gray, the forger. GEN. JOHNSTON’S CHARGE. Wbot a Confederate Treasury O 111 cer In Charge ol the money ha* to Nay of It -How the Fund \Vam Bj*. trlbuted After Leaving Itlchiuond. St. Louis special to N. 0. Timcs-Democrat 21st. Your correspondent had an Interview to clght with Walter Philbrook, who wae third assistant treasurer of the Southern Confed eracy, and gained from him facts that go far to controvert the stoty told by Gen. Joseph E Johnston concerning Jefferson Davis’ taking two and a half millions of dol lars of Confederate money. Mr. Rhllbrook gives a minute account of Confederate Treasury affairs. Hesayr “The night be fore quitting Richmond I received orders to transfer the Treasury depart ment to Charlotte, N. C. The train contained about 1600,000 in specie, mostly double eagies and silver dollars in kegs, which had been in the Treasury since 1861, most of them having been received from New Orleans banks. The gold was In coin boxes of the regular s’ze, $25,000 in each. I had charge of the train and was accompanied bv Mrs. Davis and her house hold effects. The President was to follow immediately. The first stop was njade at Danville, where some paoney was paid out. •'Then the party proceeded to Charlotte, where further orders were expected, but communication was cut by the Federal cav alry. At this point some SIO,OOO or $15,000 was paid cut. The proximity of Federal troops made Charlotte unsafe. I gave or ders to proceed to Newberry, 8. C. There more moDey was paid out. All communi cation was cut off, so I had to move further south by wagon. We finally reached Abbe ville, 8. C., having about half a million on hand. Here I buried a large number of State papers aud several hundred million dollars of Confederate pate bonds. While at Abbeville awaiting the arrival of the President’s party I discovered a plot ainoDg the clerks and military to seize the treasury. Before the plot ripened President Divis and Cabinet arrived. A Cabinet meeting was called and J. H. Reagan was appointed to take charge of the train.” Philbrook settled with Reagan, turning over to him $300,000. He also had made forty money belts, each with a capacity of $2,000. These were to be worn by the party. The train with the Presidential party then went on to Washington, Ga., where the Cabinet scattered, Breckinridge and Judah P. Benjamin with some others striking for Cuba, and others going in different direc tions. The money, Philbrook says, was never In Greensboro, so Beauregard could not have seen it there. It was asserted at the time that all tbe silver dollars were paid opt at Washington, Ga., and at the Savan nah river, to Mississippi and Alabama troops, and to others who were seeking to join Kir by Smith, in sums of twenty dollars each. It is easy to see that Mr. Davis could not have got away much money with him. Sherman’s Little Game. Washington Correspondence Hartford Times. Speaking of Blaine reminds mo of tbe way he did for John Sherman on Frida j last. The joint Congressional committee which has in charge the matter of arranging the Garfield memorial services held a meet lng to consider the form of ceremony and the programme. John Sherman is a mem ber of the committee. He knew that Blaine wanted to be the orator on that occa sion—and probably no man could be select ed who could acquit himself more credita blv or handle the subject better, con sidering his Intimate relations with the dead President, than Mr. Blaine, and he determined, if possible, to prevent it. To uo so he proposed that there be two orators, selected from the two Houses of Cougress, and suggesting that Dawes be selected from the Senate and Ran dolph Tucker, of Virginia, be selected from the Hoqse. Tucker Is a fine orator, and would probably make a great effort, but Dawes is about the most painful speaker that there Is In the Benate. Mr. Sherman’s idea was, It is said, that he would be ee lected himself, and he only named Dawes as a blind. Anyhow the bait was not accepted, and the committee by a very decided vote adopted the idea that the thing was of a na tional character more than a Congressional, and selected Blaine as the leading orator. Sherman got very mad, so much so that it Is said he expressed biiuseif openly against Blaine, but it was no game was played and Blaine was the winner. The out sider would hardly think that supposed great men, statesmen, would quarrel over doing honor to t.he memory e>i a dead presi dent, but such Is the fact, deplorable as it may appear. The end has by no mean* been reached yet, apd it will not be at all strange If there are not more exhibitions of party jealousies.

The Shipwrecked men Brought to oßaton-Details of the Heacue—Tre* mendoua Galea and Seaa. Boston Advertiser. The British steamer Salerno, Capt. Neill, from Hull, England, November 19, a'Tived at this port yesterday, thirty days out. She brought Capt. Carter, his wife and child, and crew of the British bark W. I. Whiting, who were rescued from the wreck on the morning of December 2, about four hun dred miles we6t. of the British coast. Both Captains report the weather to be the heaviest they have ever experienced. The bark left Liverpool November 1, and at once encountered a succession of strong westerly gales, with high seas, the vessel laboring heavily and shipping a good deal of water. The bark was hove to most of the time. From the sth to the 11th the weather was more moderate, but from the latter date until the 13th there was a series of gales. On the 15th the wind blew with great violence from the west-north-west, ac companied with terrific hall squalls, which blew away the main topmast staysail and main lower topsail, the bark being hove to under balanced reefed spanker, the seas running very high and constantly breaking over the vessel. From that time up to the 21st there were continuous heavy gales and terrific squalls, the sea becoming more violent and washiiig everything movable off the deck. The bark was driven back In the meantime five degrees to the eastward. On the morning of the 21st it blew a per fect hurricane, it being almost impossible for a man to stand on deck; the new double spanker was blown to shreds. At 9a.m. a tremendous sea broke on board, smashing stanchions, bulwarks, boats, skylights, pilot houses, and starting forward-house, washing overboard Jefferson Carter, a sea man, who was lost, and severely injuring John Sconton, another seaman. The wheel was secured with tackles, and all hands gathered In the cabin, for it was impossible to stay on deck. The waves male a clean breach over the bark, cleaned out tbe forecastle and galley, and swept away boats, binnacle and compass. The Captain expected the ship to founder at any moment. Towards night the weather moderated, and the crew was able to man the pumps. There was then three and a half feet of water in the hold. From this time till the night of the Ist of December the crew worked at the pumps night and day to keep the vessel afloat. On the 23d the fore mast went by the hoard, and on the Ist of December the vessel became waterlogged and entirely unmanageable. The men had been soaked with water for fourteen days without a change of clothing, and had had no food except hard tack and tea. A part of the vessel’s cargo was bleaching powder, which burst the packages containing it, and, dis solving in the water in the hold made a powerful alkali. This was drawn up by the pumps and swashed about the feet and legs of the men till it destroyed their boots, socks and pantaloons and eat terrible sores in the flesh. For many days and nights the seas broke over the vessel al most continually, and it was only at great risk that the pumps could be worked. The men were lashed to their places, and when a sea came they would spring into the rigging and hold on till It had swept, by, frequently burying them In It, and then they would drop down to the deck again and pump till they were warned that another sea was com ing. Robert Carter, a seaman, was caught by one of those seas. His companions saw him swept twice across the deck, but they could not save him. The Captain’s wife and her little child did not look out of their cabin for eleven days, On the first day of December tbe situation appeared almost hopeless. The vessel roll troP£b of th 6ea a j, t i, e mercy the win” anu waves. At about five o’clock In the afternoon, the Salerno earne in sight. She had left Hull November 19, had experi enced moderate and then Increasing gales, culminating on the night of the 25th in a hurricane, which continued till the morning of the 28’h. Then it moderated a li’tle, but continued to blow strong gales, with terrific seas. The steamer was making slow pro gress westward when the lookout discover ed the bark, and Captain Neill at once bore down towards her; but just before he got within hailing distance it shut in dark. He could see the flare lights and hear the report of a gun which was fired as a signal of distress, but the seas were so high and the gale so furious that he could not render any assistance. He made up his mind, however, to lay by until morning. Twice he sailed In a circle around the bark near enough to keep her lights in sight and to encourage her people by showing his own signals, but then the gMe having increased to a hurricane accompanied by frightful light Ding, and the seas risen to a tremen dous height, he did not dare turn his vessel again, and was obliged to keep her head, on. The two vessels soon parted company, the steamer moving 6lowly to windward, and the helpless bark drifting off to leeward. About an hour before daybreak the wind bad lulled a little, till Captain Neill thought he could safely turn, and gradually he wore around, shipping heavy seis, but sustaining no material damage. He then ran for where he judged the wreck would be, and in about an hour sighted her ftare up light. He steered directly for It, and rounded under the stern of the bark. In response to a hail Captain Carter Informed him that the bark was sink ing, and that hs and his crew wanted to be taken off. The steamer then went to wind ward and lowered the port lifeboat, manned by the second mate, Mr. Barnard, and five seamen. The officer fell overboard, but swam to the boat and got fn. The boat then went down to the wreck, took the Captain’s wife and child, the mate and five men, and transferred them to the steamer. The Cap tain and the rest of the crew came off In the second load. The men from the bark were so exhausted that they could hardly move, and it was with great difficulty that they got over the 6ide of the ves sel or on to the steamer. Capt. Neill Is entitled to great credit for his manly ac tion in standing by the wreck. He was de layed from five o’clock in the afternoon till half-past nffie in the morning. When Capt. Carter lost sight of the steamer in the night, and couln not see her in the morning, he gave up hope, supposing that she had gone on her course. He made an effort to get the men to the pumps again, but tney could not be roused. Tbe second mate and the lifeboat crew risked their lives In a sea into which it looked hardly possible to launch and float a boat. The remainder of the Salerno’s voyage was without special inci dent. The weather continued heavy till Nova Scotia was reached. The New York Sun arraigns Bancroft Davis, who was lately appointed Assist ant Secretary of State, in this way: “While director of the Erie Railroad Company and its retained legal adviser, he took $60,000 from the Boston, Hart ford and Erie Railroad Company to draw up certain contracts between the two corporations and assist in parrying them through. Tfc\s transaction resulted in an enormous los6 to the company of which he was director and legal ad viser,” Subsequently Davis was appointed one of the J ndges of the Court of Claims. The Sun says: “The greatest ease that ever came be fore him in the Court of Claims was a suit brought by Charles J. Folger (the present Secretary of the Treasury), ‘a resident of Geneva, in the State of New York,’ to recover from the United States no legs than $184,934 45 as commissions claimed to be due from the government upon sales of stamps made by Mr. Folger while Assistant Treasurer in this city.” “The decision was against Mr. Folger. The Judge who wrote the opinion was J. C. Bancroft Davis. Not only did he di rect a dismissal of the petition, but he distinctly intimated that Mr. Folger had actually committed a crime in claiming the compensation for which he sued. was liable to punishment as a criminal for so doing. “Here is the language which a Republi can Judge in the Court of Claim; at Washington used concerning a Republi can Judge in the Court of Appeals at Albany: ‘“The salary of the Assistant Treasurer at New York was fixed, and it was not only provided that he should not be permit ted to charge or receive any commission, piy or perquisite for any official service of any character or description whatso ever, but it was made a misdemeanor punishable on conviction by fine or im prisonment, or both, even to iay claim thereto.” Of course nobody but J. C. Bancroft Davis believes that Charles J. Folger could ever have committed even a tech nical offense, Congressman Chase, of Rhode Island, is a Quaker, and when he took his seat in the House the other day he affirmed instead of swearing. His wife and two daughters looked down from the gallery upon him, their faces framed in demure Quaker bonnets. ESTABLISHED 1850. asafctoi! ioujfltr.

sle|Honiing ftersAYrKrCIIBKR 24. 1881. Mr. Joho W. Garrett has been te elected President of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad for the twenty-fourth time. When he first entered the office, nearly a quarter of a century ago, the was in anything but a prosperous condition, and its securities were wav below par. Under hU management, the r tuth. It would naturally have been supposed that under these circumstat ces the establishment of direct trade between Europe and the Southern ports would have been one of the first ends striven to be accomplished by the management of that enterprise. Strange to say, how’ ever, such has not been the case. The Expos tion has been held, and Us days ire now being rapidly numbered, yet, ro we have beard not a word of any *-ffortß being made to bring about a re -ult which is so fraught with interest to tlie Southern people, and which must be iccomplished before the South can ever b said to be truly prosperous and inde pendent In this connection we have received a letter from Mr. Thomas P. Stovall, of Augusta, one of the prime movers in this matter. We reproduce it in full, and it will be found of gieat inter e=t to all who have genuine Southern welfare a' heart: “Editor Morning Neves: I thank ‘Chat ham,’ your Atlanta correspondent, for >h** notice, in your issue of the 13'h of November, of inv being the first to pro •>ne the ‘Cotton Exposition.’ This whs known in Atlanta in January, 1880, t-s Mr. J A. Ansley wrote me he had shown my letter on the subject to a number f the most prominent citizens of Atlanta. The papers which I have seen of the exhi bition cive the idea that it was overshari owed by New England patronage, and if Mr. Atkinson’s speech at. the dinner on the Augusta canal aDd Mr. C. J Barker's statements is a sample of whnt the South is to expect, my suggestions tnsde in connection with the Cotton Ex position would have been the move in the right direction, to wit: To be the mean 9 of placing the South more in direct connration with the markets of me world through the Southern seaports. and, firstly, to correct the unfavorable opinion in Europe against the South, which extends much further than tbe Southern people are willing to believe, but it is a barrier to foreign capital and emigration going there. “The Exposition furnished a favora ble opportunity to have induced a steamship to sail from one of the seaports of England direct to Savannah with a number of repre seDtative men of Europe. The Millers’ Exposition adopted this plan, and nearly one hundred wen! over in toe steam-hip Bothnia, chartered for that trip especi ally, to New York for the Cincinnati Exhibition Representatives of the pre*ss were along, and the result to my own knowledge has been most favorable to the No-thern section, throughout which they were invited and entertained, and some as far west as San Francisco. Having the honor to be one of the repre *enia ives of the Cincinnati Exhibition in Europe, I know most of the parties in that excursion. It has already been proven that the South advanced as the people depended on their own efforts, uid just so soon as it was shown .Southern enterprise brought success capital moved in that direction. Is it cot a most favorable time to move for more direct trade with Europe, and not have it said the product of Southern nterprise is tis. and o'hers Leprosy, c anmencin; on my scalp, and. in spite or all I could do, with Ihe help of the most skillful doctors, it slowly nut sure y extended until a year ago this winter it covered my entire per son in form of dry sc lies For he las' three years I have been unable to do any labor.

There is another lunge larger praise and ad miration than even the grer.t work above referred to. It is illustrated here with, and represents the aged and worthy St. J acob, holding aloft in his hand that beacon which will guide aright all sailing upon the sea of life, whose waters abound with the shoals aud dan gerous places of sickness and disease. The light it casts is designed to show that St. Jacobs Oil is the true and trusted means of keeping the body on its proper course, and of easing ana “righting it should it be unfortunately cast upon the shoals of rheumatism or other painful ailments. Thous ands of grateful ones throughout the world have proved the value and felt the good of this Great German Remedy, and are glad to recommend it Uj all needing the services of just such a remedy. 11l this connection Mr. John S. Briggs, a well known citizen of Omaha, Neb., told a newspaper man that he was terribly alllicted with an acute attack of rheumatism in his back. The disease, which had been preying upon him for years had drawn him out of shape. He resorted to every remedy known to physicians, but found no relief until he tried St. Jacobs Oil, one bottle of which effected a complete and radical cure. Another case may justify reference A VETERAN SEAMANS TROUBLE. Editor liitrr-Oecan, Chicago, IU.: I send you this, feeling that the information conveyed will tie oi material benefit to many of your readers. One of our oldest citizens, Captain C. W. Boynton, the Government Light-house keeper at this point, is probably one of the oldest seamen iu America, having ’sailed twenty-six years on salt water. After this forty-six years’ service his eyesight failed him and he kept the Light at Chicago until the Government built the Gross Point Light here, when he was transferred. While seated In my store this morning the Captain volunteered the following written statement: “This is to certify that I have been afflicted with rheumatism for twenty (20) years, both in my side and limbs. I am happy to say that, after using less than two I lot ties of the St. Jacobs Oil, lam entirely free from pain, though still limping somewhat when walk ing, from long force or habit. C. W. Boynton.” Referring to the foregoing facts, I might allude to numerous similar cases that have come to my notice, but “a word to the wise is sufficient."

The poet has written charmingly of the “Night Before Christmas,” but the week before Christmas ought also to be celebrated in verse. The mysterious conferences of children about presents to parents, and the pretence of the latter not to see what is right before their noses, the blissful expec tations of the little ones and the harpy activity of pater and mater famlllas, who are ev*r “going down town,” all serve to make the season one of the happiest known to home life. Coup’s Great Show Coming—A Holi day Treat Not Anticipated. As will be seen by reference to our adver tising columns, Mr. Coup, the prince of show managers, whose enterprise Is well known as the best in the country, has kind ly consented to give cur citizens another opportunity of 6eeiDg It in a grand holiday attire In Savannah on Monday, January 2d, 18S2, prior to going Into winter quarters at Augusta. Mr. Coup has made himself very popular in the Sou h.

The morning performance will be enjoyed by the ladies and children who wish to avoid the crowds of the afternoon and evening. We predict for Mr. Coup crowded houses at each performance. Will Do the BnMnekS. A gentleman residing in Charleston, who has a great penchant for fine chickens of the fighting species, wrote to a friend in this cin.who, by the way, is a clever city official, requesting him to procure if pos sible a “bird” of the best pugilistic Quali ties, as he wanted something that could whip any chicken in Charleston. The friend, who Is something of a wag, after hunting around succeeded in purchasing from a country darkey a very large, fine chicken hawk, which had been captured alive and bad been brought to the city for sale. This “bird” was placed securely in a box with plenty of water and feed, and yes terday afternoon was shipped per express to Charleston, and the chicken fancier was no tified by telegram that his wish had been gra’lfied and a "chicken” was on its way to him that would very effectually do the buetnees of cleaning ou 1 the game? ones of the feathered tribe. His opinion on the matter when he opens the box is looked for with some interest. Deaertlon from a Veaael Frustrated. About one o’clock yesterday morning four seamen belonging to the Swedish bark Frlthtof, then lyii g at the wharves of the Savannah, Florida and Western Rail way, attempted to desert, and had brought, their trunks on the deck.having pre viously made arrangement* for a party to come to the vessel in a small boat, and carry them and their baggage ashore. Fortunately the Captain learned of their intentions, and notifying his mate, the two armed themselves, and, seek-ng a secluded place on deck, watched the proceedings. Just as the se.Miien were in the act of lowering their TUi ks the Op’aln and mate showed Themselves vlth pistols drawn, and ordered the parties In the boat to leave at once, and they were not slow in complying, and were soon out of eight. The would be deserters were then ordered below, and will be kept under strict sur veillance un’ll the vee*el sails.

The stock market was somewhat excited yesterday over a “reliable” rumor, that was Industriously circulated, to the effect that a prominent and large stockholder in the Central Railroad had disposed of 1,633 shares, with proxies, to abanklng firm in New York at $l5O per share. This report, strange to say, had some credence, although its absurdity was apparent, as the price which was stated—slso—has not been reached since this recent “bull” movement was inaugurated. It is not at all probable—ln fact, it is highly Improbable—that such a number of shares could be sold at $l5O, when sales were being made at and under $143. We may state posi’ively that no such sale as rumored ha been effee’ed, though a transaction, which it is presumed is the basis of this rumor, did take place. Oa Tuesday, the 13th int-tant, the large stock holder referred to, who had returned from Europe only a few days previously, through a friend negotiated the sale of one thousand shares of 6tock —not 1,633 —at $l2B, not $l5O, for reasons best known to himself. The exaggera'ed publicity which has been given the transaction renders it proper to make this s’atement, which is based upon authentic information obtained after Inves tigation. There has been no power of attorney given, and hence the New York bankers who have purchased this block will have no vote at the ensumg elec'ion In January. The ch arter requires that the transfers of stock .-h U 1 be made ninety days previous to the •and -ction in ordnr to entitle the purchaser to the riebt to vote, unless there be between seller and purchaser some special agree ment. and the former has given his power of a torrey or made the purchaser proxy. In this case It may be stated that such ha 6 not been done, and the sale cannot be re garded as having any particular significance so far as the movement for a change in the policy of the Central Railroad is concerned.
