DAILY ENQUIRER-SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1874. JtoUvj gnquim'. JOH9I II. MAltll.V, < WI.I'M HI S. €JA. I SATURDAY OCTOBER 24, 1874 MKMOI HATH MiUHAIIHS. FOB CONOBL88—FOUilTH DISTllICT, * HENRY It. HARRIS, of Meriwether. Gen. SnEMDAN is reported as Haying that Kellogg, of Louisiana, “hasn’t soul enough in him to ballast a bumble-bee.' Tiie Picayune r.ij'h that there are more than $500 in counterfeit nickleH pnt into the Now Orleans car boxes every month, and yet in the last fivo years there have been only three convictions for making and passing this counterfeit coin. The New York Herald pnta this perti nent query : “Why is it that citizens of Shreveport are arrested for promising not to employ any one voting the Radical ticket at the next election, and yet many employees of the Custom House and Post Offiep are compelled to vote the Radical ticket for fear of losing their positions ?” In the Women’s Congress at Chicago, tho other day, Mrs. Livermore made a de cided hit at tho cause of much of tho ex travagance of the day, by declaring that it was the result of femiuine ignorance of tho value of money-; that “a woman who oarnod her own money would not be like ly to pay $200 fora lace handkerchief.” The Now York Daily bulletin states that the trado suspensions in that city within the last two or threo weeks aggre gate nearly $ff,250,0(Ht. Fully two-thirds of these liabilities are connected with houses in tho foreign trade, some as ex porters and others as importers, whilo the remainder belongs to housos in tho dry goods jobbing trado. Tiie Eclipse.—We again remind our readers that a total eclipse of the Moon is calculated for to-night. It will begin about midnight, and last until near day light Hunday morning, being total bo- tween half-past 1 and 2 o’clock. As the Moon will Ijo near the meridian at mid night, tho positions of the threo bodios will bo vory favorable for an impressive spectacle. The reported disaffection of ticuntoi Morton towards Gen. Grant’s administra tion receives corroboration from an edito rial of tho Indianapolis Journal, Rad. Tho Journal believes that Gen. Grant wunls n third torm, and declares that ho could not bo ro-oloctod, and furthermore, that it would not bo a good thing for purot politics if he could bo. It iH refreshing to find a paper devoted to Morton solici tous about “pure politics.” The Griflln News gives an account of the destruction by firo, on Wedmsday morning, of Mr. Jos. II. Johnson’s gin house, with over twouty bales of cotton, mostly in tho soud. Several horses and other farm animals, a largo quantity of corn, oats and forage in tho barn con ncotod with tho gin houso, and about two huadrod cords of wood were also burned. Tho loss was about $5,000, and the in- suruiico only #l,7<>0. The fire is believed to lmvo boon tho work of - an incendiary. The News reports Jell. Long as saying m his speech at Albany, that “there was a clause in tho Civil Rights bill which would enable tho mixed broods to eutor tho courts us legitimates uud sue for heir ships to their father's property.” Jeff, is a mulatto. Tho snuio idoa seems to^have occurred to many others of bis complexion, for Williams (black), of Eufaula, dodarod in bis Into speech in Girard, that negroos of mixed blood favored social eqnulity, but “real simou puro uogroos” did not want it. Wo cannot find any such clause in the Civil Rights bill as passed by tho Senate. The trial of tho “safe burglary case” was commenced in the Criminal Court of Washington City on Tuesday. Nottle- ship did not appear, and his bond was forfeited. Harrington and Wilburns ap peared and announced themselves ready for trial. Tho infamous Wbitoly appear ed, but bis counsel immediately began to skirmish for delay. First a plea in abate ment was filed, and that being overruled, a motion for a continuance was made, which was supported by nu affidavit sot ting forth that several witnesses who would tOftify to material fuels were ab- sont, but the court refused to grant a con tinnanco. A point was then raised as to tho legality of the Grand Jury which found the indictment, upon which argu ment was heard, and the court rosorvod its decision. Samuel Vabneb, colored, publishes a card in tho Eufaula News, in which he gives his ruco the moat sensible advice that wo have noticed from a colored man. Ho advises them to join him in leaving tho towns and going into tho oouutry, whore they can mako an honest living on the farms; to abstain from elections about which they know nothing, uud devote their attention to the improvement of their pocuuiary condition. Saiu is right. Loafing about the towns will never im prove tho negroes in any respect, and there is never a lack of work and com fortable living in the couutry. Some whites might ndvantagooiiBly take Sam’s advicb also. A special Washington dispatch of the llHk to tho New York Keening Dost (Re publican) says that immediately upouGcu. Grant’s return to Washington a strong pressure w ill be brought to boar to induce him to declare that ho will not accept a third term. Tho dispatch says that the current against a third term has set in so strongly that \t in confidently believer that l'rusidenl Grant will effectually si leuce all further agitation of this quostion l»y an authoritative statement or lett« Boon after his return from the West, lie is expected to return iu the coursq of two or threo days. Evidently the New York Radical politi cians are determined to have a declaration Against a third term from Gov. Dix, un less Gen. Grant quickly takes this course. They fear that liix’s declaration at this late day will not much help his cause, but hope that a public ileelnution by Gruut Will save them many votes. TIIE FAIR - Wt'.nxr.KtlAY. In the absence of a letter from our cor respondent, wo cull some item*: concern ing tho State Fair, on Werlne-day, from the Atlanta papers. It wus attended by a mncli larger crowd than on cither of the previous days. Tho estimates of people on the grounds varied from 15,000 to 2;»,- 000. The receipts from tho sale of tick ets were estimated at about $10,000. One train on the W. A A. Railroad carried HdO people to the Fair. 9 The loading incidents of the day wore the Military contest and the exercises in tho speed ring. Tho competitors for the Military premium were the Oglethorpe Guards, of Augusta; tho Jonesboro’ Zou aves; the Fulton Blue*, of Atlanta; the Governor’s Guard's, of Atlanta, and the Atlanta Cadets. The first prize, amount ing to $500, was awarded to the Ogle thorpe Guards; the Atlanta Cadets re ceived the second prize, $250, and the Governor’s Guards the third prize of $125, The drilling of all the companies was very fine, and tho contest so close that the awards were made with difficulty The first contest in tho speed ring was a rnnning race, two-mile heats, best two in three. There were four ontries: J. 8. A. Crawford, of Chattanooga, cutcred a grey horse, Toni Crawford; Major Linn, of Csrtersville, entered bay mare, Quar tette ; J. W. Crawford, of Augusta, enter ed a bay Vandal colt, unnamed ; Thos. G. Bacon, of Houth Carolina, entered (Jran ger. Tho Utter won iu two straight heats, mo—3:51, 3:58$. The purso was $200. The contestants in tho plowing match were Geo. Watt, of ltichmoud, Va.; A. A. Simmons, of LaFnyetde, Ga ; David Nicholls, of Cobb county; G. C. Huff, of Atluuta; F. A. Logan, colored, of Atlanta. After a consultation of tho judges on the merits of the difforeut plowmen, they awarded tho first prize to David Nioholls, of Cobb county. THE CONTEST OF TIIE UABNKSH HOUSES. This contest took place in the ring at two o’clock. Tho premiums woro offered for tho best gelding or mare, $100; for the second best, $50. Tho judges were Messrs. II. H. Feagin, of Macon; L. T. Swanson, of LaGrauge; and J. 8. A. Crawford. Homo twenty-fivo horses wore entered. Among the most prominent woro Basil Duke, by W. L. Crawford; bay mare Ida, sired by John Dillard, and a Mombrino marc by W. A. Hoskins, of Chattanooga; sorrel horse, by T. J. Ald- rieh, of Smyrna, Golddust breed; bay horse, by F. A. Higgins, of Allan's; iron gray horse Whisky, by 8. E. Black, of Nashville. Tho exhibition wns fine, and tho con- tost close. Tho judges were a long time coming to a decision, hnt finally gavo the first prominm of $100 to Mr. Crawford on Basil Duke, and tho second to W. A. Hoskins on his bay mare Ida. LOUISIANA. A correspondent of the Now York Her ald, writing from Now Orleans, 12th, has the following to Hay concerning tho pros pects of the two parties in Louisiana, uud the probable results of a continuance of Kellogg's rule: “Notwithstanding tho assertions of the whites that they have a majority of (ho votes, and iu n fair election can elect their ticket, I holiovc the Htalo will go Republican next mouth by u larger major ity than over. Every obstruction in some parishes, I uni assured, is being thrown iu tho way of whiles who nt.empt to register, ami this will prevont tho polling of a full white vote. Dining the past year there has been an immense influx of blocks from Tennessee and Mississippi who will register and voto the Radical ticket as a mutter of com so. It is believed that ful ly 20,000 uogroos foreign to the State will vote, who, two years ago, voted iu other States. If this bo so 1 see no hope for a Conservative victory, even if Kellogg gives them 4 a fair election,'and the proseut statu of anarchy uud depression of busi- iiokn must inevitably continue unless Con gress, on reassembling, promptly gives sumo moBHure of relief. It' Congress fails to do so, the Government must quarter a standing army of C,000 or 8,000 men in the State to keep tlieponco, else there will bo a resort to the rifle and barricades with every change of tho moon and the moods of a pooplc driven to tho brink of desper ation by the criminal neglect of the Gen eral Government to guarantee them a re publican form of government.” We have noticed iu our Louisiana ex changes, statements to tho sumu effect, concerning the impediments thrown iu tho way of the registration of the whites. One officiul circular secretly soul out from Now Orleans plainly instructed the Radical Registrars to keep their books open in tho towns as short a time as po.w- sible, and to upon then at places in tho couutry, nt times of which tho negroes were to be previously informed, so us tc register a full black voto. But, notwith standing such impediments, tho whites arc registering pretty generally. Iu Now Orleans, where the negroes woro largely ahead in the registration for some time, the lists now claim tho names of about 25,000 whites and 15,000 negroes. Tho iuoroAso of the negro voto by im migration Biuce tho last election may he aa largo as tho Herald'» correspondent estimates. Bat that writer seems to take no account of the divisions among tho negroes now, and of tho cordial uuiou and agreement for tho division of officers between them and the white Democrats in a number of parishes, exoludiug tho Kellogg party from any placo on thei tickets. Wo ffud reports of such ugreo- in nearly every Now Orleans piper received. The Democrats and Conserva tives rely greatly upon a division of tho negro voto, and tho Kellogg party evi dently four it. The overruuniug of tho 8tuto by tho military is really design* to break up this good fooling bet wee tho Conservative whites and negroe and to rally the negroes again under tho lead of tho carpet-baggers. Upon its sue cess or failure to do this, in our opinion, a Democratic triumph in Louisiana de pends.

The Philadelphia Inqui. (also Republican) thinks that this declaration was “inspired by the Presi dent,” and says: “The only explanation thus far givoti of this curious move upon Sherman’s position is that the President, recognizing the fact that the country does not receivo with favor the third torm project, has concluded to abandon it, and upon his retirement from the White House would be glad to resumo his old rank as General of the Array.

NorcrosH wants it done, with a view to becoming the cotfhty seut. —Major George B. Chamberlain, Uni ted States Deputy Marshal at Atlanta, has boon tendered the position of Chief of the Secret Service Department of the Gov ernment fur the Southern 4Statos. —On Wednesday night, as the employ ees of tho Augusta Factory were going down a f-taitway, having just stopped work, one of them, Miss Conner, fell and broke her nock. She was the duughter of Mr. G. D. Conner. —The Dalton Citizen learns from a re liable source that diptberia is prevailing to an alarmiug extent in tho counties of Paulding and Polk, aud a portion of Bar tow. It is confined principally to chil dren and is vory fatal. —Hon. B. II. Hill, in compliance with a request numerously signed by citizens of Augusta, has consented to address them on the political issues of tho day beforo the Congressional election. He names Monday night, the 2tith inst., as the time. —Tho regular passonger train on the Macon and Brunswick railroad, run off eighty miles from Jesnp on Tuesday eve ning. The engine, it is said, is turned over, and throe stock cars with caCtlo for Savannah were considerably smashed up, with a number of the animals killed. Wayeross correspondence Valdosta Time*: The fancy patch of corn cultiva ted by Dr. Lott has been gathered, and •yielded, after being measured up, eighty- three Imshels per acre. This result shows hut cau bo accomplished when a thor ough system of cultivation is practiced. —Tho case of the Augusta and Sum merville Railroad Company vs. the Geor gia Railroad and Banking Company— complaint, filed September 29th, iu the olllco of Clerk of the Superior Court— wav dismissed on the 17th instant, by the plaintiff ’s attorney, and costs paid. The Albany Neics of Thursday says; “Wo are painfully grieved to hear from his physicians, that Hon. James II. Hun ter, who was so brutally slabbed by a ne gro at Quitman, on the day of election, is past all hope of recovery. Indeed it is quite probable that us we write his pure soul is with its God.” POLITICAL OPINION. -Says tho New York Herald: “Faith Southern outrages is tho tost of Re publicanism in these days. If oue does not believe that all tho white men are shooting all tho darkies, tho Ropublicaus if the puro blood say he is a Democrat. This largely increases the number of tho Democrats. ” —Bloodshed and disturbance still mark tho progress of tho canvass in LouiHiaqn, but they are confined to struggles bo- tween factions of the Republican party. The colored citizens have been taught to roly upon force and violonco in politics, and have loarnod their lesson only too well. Nevertheless there are cheering features in this contest, and the fact that in many cases tho colored voters join hands with the whites in seeking reform, is a suro sign of improvement.—N. Y. Tribune. —Tho St. Louis Times says that what Alabama Radicals lack in troops they make up in deputy marshals. Two-thirds of the Republican party iu somo counties havo boon sworn in for special service nt tho polls ou election day. If with troops and deputy marahals, a sufficient terror ism cun not bo created to keep Democrats from voting, tho South will be utterly given over to hardness of heart. Political Movements in the South.— Tho United States marshals aud their deputies in several of the Gnlf Htutos are still rigorously hunting' up and running down HUHpeoted sheriffs, refractory White Leaguers and meu charged with Ku-klux affiliations. Can it lie that Attorney Gen eral Williams has not yet hoard of the Iudiaua and Ohio elections, or does he suppose that the working up of Southern outrages will still serve ns political capital iu New York aud Pennsylvania.—N. Y. Herald. Forney, of the Philadelphia Dress, gives it up. Ho says there is no uso in con- ceiling the fActthut tho Republican party has met with serious disasters iu the States of Ohio uud Iudiaua. We have boou beateu, aud badly beatcu, iu both of these great States. The Democrats have carried their tickets by largely increased majorities, aud made a total gain of twelve Representatives. A proportion ate gain iu the November eVootiona would give tbom control of tho next Congress by a two thirds majority. A lively business in the way of arrests is going on in Alabama, tho number of warrants being reported as 500 to 800. For a State that is peaceful and where no disorders exist, this argues a lively im agination ou tho. part of United States Marshals aud the probability of grave iu- justico to oitizons. If done for political eff ect, it may provo a sword that euls both ways.—New York Tribune. oct24 did $50 Reward, J TOLKN from the subscriber, at Hart’? Milts: Schley countv.
