Sunday gttyttim. tOlCMBT’K GEORGIA: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1877 SALISBURY & CO.. IVoprietors, Senator Morton’s last wo rds were “I am worn out.” If the Democracy of New York carry the State Senate, next week, it will*be for the first time since 1859. The Telegraph-Messenger learns from undoubted authority, yellow fever lias broken out in Key \\ est. The City Council of Denison, Texas, pays its Mayor $1 per month, and when he had a few letter heads printed, the Council refused to pay for them. Mii. T. M. Metcalf, Minnesota’s Commissioner of Statistics, estimates that the wheat crop of that State this year will reach the enormous amount of 40,000,000 bushels, notwithstanding the ravages of the grasshoppers. The report of Mr. Fitch, register in bankruptcy in New York, shows that the assignments made in that city during the last two years cover liabilities to the amount of $40,000,- 000, with discoverable assets of only $7,000,000, or 17} cents on the dollar. ♦ ♦ ♦ The dangers from the noiseless run ning of bicycles have been so great in England, that the Watch Committee, of Liverpool, recommend a law that anybody running a velocipede with out a bell attached to it shall be fined $5. - 4- » ♦ The aggregate losses by fire in the United State* ami Canada during the month of August amounted to $8,420,- 300, which is $2,589,400 less than for the same period in 1876. The total losses to insurance companies foot up $4,258,900. A n elderly lady played a quiet joke on the Treasurer of the Baptist For- cign Mission ray Society. She slipped up noiselessly and unostentatiously, and placed in his hands a roll of greenbacks amounting to $650. She hurried away, declining to give her name. The Treasurer wants to hear from more ladies of this kind, and no questions asked. It savors somewhat too strongly of the ridiculous that Cleoj>atia’s Needle, after surviving the shocks of three thousand years, and riding out a ter rible storm in the Atlantic while on its way to adorn the commercial metropolis of the world, should be detained for debt in an insignificant Spanish seaport. Verily, ’tis to base uses it has come at last. There were sixty-one failures re ported in New* York city during the month of October, the largest number of any month this year; but the lia bilities, which are in round numbers $8,600,000, are not so great as in some other months. Tlienumber of failures has increased about'thirty per cent, over the record for the month of Sep tember, while the aggregate liabilities is smaller by $100,000. Tuesday, November 6, will be a rattling day for elections, which will be held in New York, Pennsylvania, Man-land, Virginia, Wisconsin, Mis sissippi, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, Illinois and Cenrgia. The New York, Pennsyl vania and Wisconsin elections are the most important, and indications point to Democratic victories. A case of universal importance was recently decided by the Supreme Court of the United States. An Ohio man named Ulrich was ejected from a Michigan Southern & Lake Shore _traiu_fucj\‘-fusing to pay more than three cents per mile, the rate fixed by (lie law of that State. He brought suit for damages, obtained a verdict in the lower court, which the Ohio Supreme Court affirmed, and now the tribunal of last resort has again af firmed the justice of his cause. There was a report in Washing ton to the effect that while Gov. Wil liams, of Indiana, was in New York a few days since, Mr. Tilden asked him to appoint Mr. Hendricks Sena tor upon the death of Senator Mor ton. Gov. Williams had hitherto in tended to appoint Hon. D. W. Voor- hees, but told Mr. Tilden he would consider his request, adding that he •lid not think Mr. Hendricks could l>e induced to accept. When Gov. \\ illiams came here from New York he conferred with his friends and those ot Hendricks, and spedily re turned to his former decision. 1 n answer to an inquiry whether he desired to go to the United States Senate, should Mr. Morton die.Gov. Hendricks said, Wednesday: “The future will determine. I am not, and tlo not intend to be a candidate for the United States Senate. Had the Indiana Legislature been Democratic in 1869, when my term in the Senate expired, 1 should have been most proud ot a re-election, but it was not, and my retirement at that time I be lieved to be final. I think it alto- getliii likely that Mr. Voorliees will be called upon to fill the Senatorial vacancy, should ouooocu^. ,, King Alfonso, of Spain, has ordered, at Paris, a casket by way of a betroth al present to bis future wife, the Princess Mercedes. It is in lapis lazuli, mounted on four lions’ claws sixteen inches high and thirty square, ornamented with garlands of golden roses, which are miracles of delicate workmanship. The hues of the flow ers are all faithfully presented. The key is a golden rose, full blown. The interior,of the casket islapislazulistud- ded with tiny nails, diamond headed. The casket is intended to hold the lovers love letters, but it goes to the Princess in the first place with but one note and a necklace of eight rows of i>earls. To Show Up Ugly Things.—The House Committee on Naval Affairs has decided to probe the financial management of Mr. George Robeson. They will show bow the money has been squandered by giving contracts for supplies to rings, by defaulting pa_\ masters and building rotton ships at fabulous prices. The committee should be able to solve the problem why a ship in the British navy is maintained at $180,000 a year, while it costs $2(5,000 to maintain an Amer ican man-of-war; and why the cost per man in the British navy is $383 a \eai, and in our navy not less than $3,000. The money expended on our navy during the last twelve or thir teen years would, according to the British style of management, give us to-day 172 efficient ships and 37,800 men to man them. We have not, however, thirty vessels which are fit *°r active sea duty. THE CITV OF THE DEAD. There are more people buried up yonder on the hill than inhabitants in Columbus, yet our town is not yet a half century old. Our cemetery is very lovely. Autumn’s tints have touched the foliage of the forest oaks with their brown and mellowed hues, while the green of others, emblems of perennial 'remembrance, shine with a subdued lustre. Every pleas ant Sunday afternoon the enclosure is visited by hundreds, some to com mune with the departed, others to enjoy the calm and beauty of nature, others as recreation, and others still to indulge in day dreams and recall the past. It is no place for mourning, for useless regrets, but rather for re joicing. The dead sleep dreamless on, careless alike of smiles or tears, of brightness or sorrow. Life and its toils are forgotten. Probably their spirits hover over the spot where f<>rms have mouldered, and infuse into the breasts of those they have loved on earth the sweet sense of comfort and bring back cherished memories of the long ago. How strange events hapi*?n. Here perhaps lie almost an entire family. Of three brothers, two rest there. The pair were schoolmates, played truant in common, and even in advanced youth and manhood, were fond of companionship; frank-hearted and affectionate. The third was rather as one apart. Their union is again con tinued. A short period only divided their lives and death, while the other still lingers alone. How many such can be noted in our graveyard. There, too, the parent meets the child,brother with sister communes, and friend joins hand with friend—all is tinged with a melancholy, but it should not Ik? connected with pain. Oh! not by graves should tears be shed, Nor there should cypross weave its gloom; No! gratulatlons for the dead, And roses for the toomb. They stand far removed from each other, and a gulf lies between; but heavenly music forms a golden, starry bridge over the abyss, and the holy and mellodious tones whisper to the heart the complaints and longings of an ever-enduring love—a sweet dream and nothing more. A graveyard seems naturally to awe every human heart; yet on quiet evenings, when zephyrs whisper gently they are wafting angels by, it is a place of sweet repose and twilight thought to the drear and sad, the careleas and the free. The nursery child feels within its portals that he treads on hallowed ground, for hush ed is the happy laugh and the sportive abandon of glee. No tones of hilarity greet the ear. Conversation is spoken in softer strains than is wont, and silently are the resting places of the dead'lingered o’er. Visit the spot alone, and there is no breast in which there creeps not a holy reverence and calm, a high purpose and resolve. While the winds tenderly breathe a requiem o’er the dreamless siumberers, and the skies smile a blessing, even the unbeliever’s heart sees heaven’s gate opened wide, harmonious sound on golden hinges turning. In the delicious stillness of the cemetery— all alone—not a human heart speak ing near but present the knowledge that groups are not far off, is evolved the most ecstatic bliss of which the soul of mortal is capable. Uncon sciously one echoes the lines of Long fellow : I like that ancient Saxon phrase which calls The burial ground God’s Acre. It is just. It consecrates each grave within it's walls. And breathes a benison o’er the sleeping dust. ROSE HILL DO.VOLOU V. Now glory to the God of Love, AV’ho guides our wandering feet, And leads us to that home above Where saints and angels meet: There we shall join the mighty host, And swell the song of praise, To Father, Son and Holy Ghost, Through all our endless days. Nov. 1876. Henry W. Hilliard. Looking over a Methodist hymn book in the parlor of ex-Senator J. N. Gilmore, of Sandersville, on Sunday last, I found the alxive doxolgy, in the familiar hand-writing of my friend Hilliard, on a fly leaf of the book. I do not know that it is origi nal, but having never seen it in print, I copied it for your Sunday issue, by permission of Major Gilmore, who informed me that Mr. Hilliard wrote it one day during the session of the Methodist Conference in Sanders- ville, as the guests of the family were seated in the parlor. Whether original or not, no doubt it will prove inter esting matter for your religious col umns, which department is unsur passed in the excellence of its selec tions by that of any Sunday paper that I have yet seen. Sidney Herbert. Kimball House, Oct. 30, 1877. ■» A Florida Story.—A curious story comes from Ocala, Fla., says the Constitution, which may possibly have some bearing on the whis key ring frauds in St. Louis. About two years ago a person giving his name as George A. Raj’ settled in Marion count}', Fla. He led a quiet and retired life, and was at peace with all his neighbors. One day last week he died and his remains were interred in the cemetery at Ocala. A few days previous to his death, however, he communicated to a Mr. Owens the in formation that his real name was Campbell, and that he was from St. Louis. He stated furthermore that he held a position under the United States Government as whiskey in spector and gauger, and that lie fled from St. Louis and changed his name in order that his testimony might not be used against General Babcock and others implicated in the whiskey ring frauds. It is understood that the papers left by Mr. Ray (or Mr. Campbell) fully corroborated the statements made to Mr. Owens. COLUMBUS SUNDAY ENQUIRER: SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 4, 1877. WASHINGTON. j EUROPE. A (Mf Agalaat Om PoKalUrr Gov. Hartranft, of Pennsylva nia, lias disregarded the subpoena issued by the grand jury of Allegheny count}' requiring him to appear and testify in the trial of Gen.**Pearson, who is charged with murder in con nection with the killing of certain citizens of Pittsburg by the State militia during the July riots. The Governor, in a letter to the court, dis avows motives of contempt toward the court, but “denies the right of a co-ordinate branch of the government to compel the attendance of the exec utive officers or investigate the man ner in which, in their discretion, they have performed their official duties.” He has, however, submitted the matter to the Supreme Court of the State and will Ik? guided by its ruling. The large boa constrictor in the New York Aquarium has just given birth to fifty small boas—an occur rence without a precedent in this country. Tlio family is kept in a large glass Ik>x. The mother is thir teen feet, and her young are alxmt two feet in length. War moth’s portrait painted on the wall of the Louisiana House of Representatives is to be painted out. Good. A late Washington special to the World says: The Postoffice Depart ment is involved in a queer legal ease, which may cause it some trouble. Section 5480 of the postal laws proliil)- its the circulation by mail of adver tisements of any scheme to defraud people, under penalty of a fine not exceeding $500, or imprisonment for not more than eighteen months, or both. Several months ago an organi zation calling itself the United States Secret Sendee Company was formed in Cincinnati, duly incorporated, and the articles thereof were deposited with the Librarian of Congress. The Secret Service Company issued circu lars saying that the only way to pre vent tne spread of crime in this coun try was for each man to become a de tective, and offeree! upem the payment of a certain fee 1 to create any erne of good character a member of the com pany, give him credentials, a baelge and a copy of the Criminal Ga zette for one year. Each member of the company was to work up all crimes committed for the rewards offereel anel the rewards so obtained were to be divided pro rata by the company among its members. * Sev eral days ago Special Agent Henry, of the Post Office Department, arrest ed the officers of the company, and they were held for trial on the 15th ult., in $2,000 each. The Post Office Department ordered that all mail ar riving in Cincinnati for the firm should be detained and sent back to the senders. T. C. Campbell, of Cin cinnati,the lawyer of the company, ar gued the matter before Solicitor Free man, maintaining that when letters are deposited in the mail they are the property of the person to whom they are addressed. Mr. Campbell secured a revocation of the Post Office De partment order, but the mail is still detained, and a further hearing for its release will be given tiiis week. The officers of the Secret Service Compa ny maintain that their business is a legitimate one. Why Clarilvld Wasn’t Chosen Srnalon The President induced Gen. Gar field last spring to withdraw from the Senatorial race in Ohio under the be lief that lie could be elected Speaker of the House. There was a mistake all around, of course; but Gen. Gar field, referring to the subject the other day, treated it thus: “Well, I thought at first the Presi dent hail no right, in reality, to inter fere in the matter. But I concluded to think the subject over, seeing he had asked it, and see if there was not, after all, a side from which it might be all right. In the first place, I was well enough off, perhaps, where I was, and the new position was only for the short, unexpired term of an other man, and I would not get fairly started in it, provided I was success ful in getting it, before I would be obliged to go through the unpleasant process of a recanvass. In order to accept the Senatorial election I would be obliged to give up the old Nine teenth district, which has stood by me so long. But what was the great est argument, perhaps, was the opin ion that this being an off year, there would probably be considerable indif ference among the people, and that nine chances out of ten the State will go Democratic.” XK **’ YORK’S WEALTH. The conductor of one of the trains running into Charlotte, a few nights since, found a girl about 16 years old, clad only in a robe de nuit, crouching on one of the ear platforms. He took her to Charlotte, had her clothed and provided a home for her with a prom inent lady. It now transpires that the girl is an heiress, a recent gradu ate of Salem College, and had run away from her stepfather. Unfortu nately, for the romance of the story, the conductor is an old married man, and it was his wife who interested herself especially in the girl’s behalf. 4^1 Tlie Graphic’* Telephonic Account of the Interview with Silt tine Bull. From the Baltimore Gazette.] Our telephonic communication with Sitting Bull’s camp enables us to state what really was said at the recent hu miliating interview between Sitting- Bull and the United States Commis sion : Can’t have anything to do with you, said his Majesty, Sitting Bull. You’re a nation of liars; the truth isn’t in you. General Terry and his associates looked indignant. Oh, you needn’t put on airs, re marked Sitting Bull. You’re not aware of the depth of your own de moralization. You’ve got used to it, and don’t mind it. What can we ex pect of you in the matter of honest dealing, when you don’t deal honest ly with yourselves ? I know all about you. What do you know ? asked General Terry.

All—How ! how ! A Commissioner—General, let us go home. I don’t think we can be of any use here. general Terry—No. ■ Let us hear the savage out. We are at his mer cy.

Now go. You make me sick. Seat! Shoo! Git up and git! 1! P. M. Her Mllllmuilre Families and (heir Im mense Income. The New York papers have been using much space recently in the way of boasting of the wealth and grand eur of their city, its public growth and probable future. One of these says : The people who live, work and toil among us—those who read news papers and watch for themselves the progress of events—are much more concerned touching the actual present condition of New York,her size,trade, shipping, wealth and commercial importance, than they possibly can be in any, even the best founded speculations concerning her future greatness. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. It is not the name or the corporate form which gives a city its character as such, but the tact that its inhabitants live close ly together—in other words, that the population is urban as distinguished from rural. New York contain to-day hard on 1,300,000 inhabitants. For present pur poses Brooklyn, if not all the area within five miles of the City Hall, should be regarded as forming part of New York. Brooklyn alone contains at the present writing a population of 550,000. This added to 1,300,000, would give New York 1,850,000. If, however, we take in Jersey City and Staten Island, which clearly belong to this agglommeration of population, New York, viewed as a metropolis, is the second largest city of the civilized world, containing over 2,600,000 in habitants. Thus: London, 3,489,- 428; New York, over 2,000,000, and then Paris, with 1,851,792. As New York has grown in size she haw likewise grown in beauty, wealth, luxury and extravagance. We doubt if any two million people in the world spend annually in rent,dress and pleas ures as much ’money as is spent by the people of this metropolis. The enor mous accumulation of wealth at this centre represents a very considerable portion of the profits of the commerce of the nation for the last twenty-five years. On the actual amount of this wealth to-day the total valuation on real and personal estate for 1877— $1,101,292,093—give but a feeble idea. No street in the world (except pos sibly in London) represents in the short space of two miles and a half anything like the enormous aggregate of wealth represented by Fifth avenue residents between Washington Square and Central Park.

You are rats! You are pizen! I/> VI'.RIiS AX ft AJECTIYKS. Minor <tiir*tloii* Hint Puzzle Hie (train- inn ria »». \Richard Grant White in the Xew York Times.] I have of late received no less than nine epistles—one of them from the Pacific shore—asking me to decide a dispute whether it is right to say to morrow is Sunday or to-morrow’will be Sunday, and I am speaking with in hounds when 1 say that within the the last ten years that question has been put to me, personally or by let ter, more than one hundred and" fifty times, and I have lately received sev en letters, three during’the last week, asking whether it is “grammatical” to say I feel had or I feel badly. As to the former momentous inqui ry, I might truly say I don’t know which is right and I don’t care. It is not worthy of five minutes’ consider ation by any reasonable human crea ture. Either form of expression is perfectly intelligible, and both have the support of good usage. As to the latter, which, trifling as it is, does really present a point for decision, there seems to me no doubt that “I feel bad” is right. I cannot believe that any one of my querists, who, ris ing in the morning, felt low spirited, would say, “I feel bluely,” but “I feel blue.” Nor would any one who speaks English well without thinking about it—and only such persons speak well—say “the grass looks greenly,” hut “the* grass looks green.” But "we say and should say “that woman dresses badly,” or “the air bites keenly.” When the verb ex presses action or suffering, an adverb is required ; but when it expresses a condition of the speaker, as “I feel bad,” or an appearance to him, as “thegrass looks green,” an adjective is proper. But even under these con ditions good usage and good sense ad mit both forms. We may say either “the sun shines brightly” or i! tlie sun shines bright,” “the river flows dark ly,” or “the river flows dark.” There are many such cases in which the ad jective is the better word, and solici tous use of adverbs is rather a sign of a grammar-and-dictionary style of speech and of writing than of one which comes of a spontaneous con formity to good usage and an uncon scious mastery of one’s mother tongue. And it should be added that no one can learn to speak good English or “good grammar” by fretting over such questions as these ; that it is to be attained only by an unconscious conformity to the usage of the best speakers and writers, as I have had occasion to say before. SOUTH ^CAROLINA. More Duiuatfintr Testimony Against Cardoso. Columbia, S. C., Nov. 3.—The tes timony in Cardozo’s trial was finished late this afternoon. The defendant was rigidly cross- examined this morning, and, among other things, testified that Hardy Solomon had offered him a bribe of five thousand dollars, when visiting his private office, to pay certain fraudulent claims, amounting to $20,- 000. Solomon contradicted this state ment, and alleged that he had given C'ardozo throe or four thousand dollars as part of the fraudulent substitute tn this transaction. Solomon’s cashier, Sealy, testified that when he presented the claims, Cardozo’s clerk demurred to the pay ment, when Cardozo told him to the demand, “it was none of his busi ness.” Sealy is a respectable Demo crat, and his evidence on this point is damaging to the defendant. Counsel for defendant subsequently admitted the substitution of fraudu lent claims. Argument of counsel will begin Monday. The "jury is kept together and guarded every night. Cigar-Maker** Strike. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] New York, November 3.—The situation in the cigar-makers’ strike remains unchanged. Contributions are coming in steadily. Three hun dred dollars were received yesterday.

Special to Enquirer-Sun.] San Francisco, November 3.—For several weeks past a series of so-called workingmen’s meetings have been held in open air at various points in this city, at which the speakers have indulged in most violent, incendiary liaranges; threatening the peace of the community, and the lives and prop erty of a number of prominent citi zens by name. No attempt was made to arrest the speakers, owing to the disinclination of the authorities to make martyrs of them. The press lias been silent until within a few days, when the principal journals sounded the alarm at the impetus of which the disorderly movement is gaining, and are now call ing loudly for prompt action on the part of the authorities. The Chinese have already taken the alarm, and six companies have ad dressed a communication to the May or, calling his attention to the threats which have been made against them, and asking protection.

It is not consid ered that the workingmen of the city, as a body, are in sympathy with the movement, but that it is * supported mainly by dangerous classes and those who have become desperate by the presence of the prevailing hard times.

MELVINA OWEN, daughter of G. W. Owen, and sister of Mrs. L. C. Harman, of this city, departed this life October 24th. Rev. Dr. J. S. Key officiated. The remains were placed in the Columbus Cemetery. Tiie pall bearers were A. M. Brannon, L. S. Wright, T. E. Blanchard, and Gibson. Her age was twenty-seven years and seven months. She leaves behind her two sisters, lliree brothers, and three darling little nephews to mourn tier loss. Site died of typhoid fever. She was confined to her bed twenty-six days, and bore her suffering witli Christian resignation and patience to the end. The graces of a Christian character were her’s in an eminent degree, endearing her greatly to various people among whom her lot had been cast. Kind, sympathetic, unobtrusive and discreet, she was respected and loved wherever known. She was true in all relations of life. She tiad no place for regret in tier closing hours. Her’s was a triumphant death, and a brighter spirit never took its flight from this world of sin and sorrow, more calm in bidding dear ones farewell. She called Mr. Harman, her broth er-in-law, and said farewell witli a bright, angelic smile on her face. She said, “Sister, what a beautiful land I see." Shedied with out a struggle. Her exclamation of Chris tian jov cun never lie forgotten by those who were about her bedside. She lived a life of truth and justice. She made virtue the at tendant of her life, while the past but crowns virtue his meeds. She pictured her daily walk and conversation—hope, faith anil charity—more beautiful and more at- tlian any artist's brush lias ever been able to place upon canvass. Living justice and truth, living virtue, and living images of beauty, can come alone from Christ, and MELVINA OWEN lived so near to tiiis in exhaustible fountain that makes life more beuutiful and death so sublime. She is dead to earth and its ceaseless labors, and has gone to her eternal rest, while her works do follow her. She has gone to receive a never fading crown of glory, which the righteous Lord will give her for all her charitable deeds done here. The angels hovered around her bed, To bear her spirit home.
