Tlie concert complimentary to the honorary members was not given last night, because of the want of an audi ence. Tlie honorary members seemed disinclined to wade through tlie slush to hear harmonious sounds, no matter how finely rendered. We loafed down about nine o’clock. Tlie opera house was dimly lighted ami appeared very gloomy. Tt was really a wierd scene. The singers, of whom some twenty were present, seemed to partake of the dreariness in and outside tlie hall, and were singing some slow dirge like funeral air, that recalled such things as ghosts and graveyards. About five constituted tlie audience, who seemed to be waiting for tlie charming singers to wend their way homeward. Just as Sheriff Burma was making us cheerful some gentlemen moved to go into ex ecutive session, and the motion was carried. As we had ventered into for bidden territory to bear melody and not “chin music,” this writer vamoosed. The ladies also abandoned the “ex ecutives.” Tlie concert, we bear, will be givon before the 10th. It will be a delightful musical festival. Will our gifted “Cho rals” allow us to make a suggestion? If they wont, we’ll make it anyhow. At the concert give us something lively. The rattling, dashing, sparkling melo dies of Offenbach would take. The public want something airy, fantastic, full of jollity. Don’t givo us the slow and drear. Wo can hear that in the churches. Lot us have the merry chimes of L’ Allegro, not the weary sad ness of II Ponsoroso. Please first, then lie educated to the classical dodges. Make tlie festival gay, spright ly with the tripping notes of gladness- something that stir tlie blood with its ringing, joyous harmony. It will pay. The “Choral Union” shows marked advance in culture and practice. It is an institution of which Columbus should 1)0 proud, and is capable of af fording unlimited enjoyment. Ilnrrln 1'rliuar.r Nomination. Harris held a primary election on Saturday to nominate candidates for the Legislature. The result was tlie election of Messrs. W. I. Hudson and rosso (’ox. The vote was to have been onsolidated yesterday at Hamilton. We hear that some of the candidates objected to the consolidation, because they allege the resolution of the con vention ordering the election provided that only Democrats should vote, and that at Hamilton about 150 colored men voted; 00 at Valley Plains and 85 at Whitesvillo. Wo do not know how tlie matter terminated, but presume the gentlemen named, having received the largest number of votes, were declared the nominees. It would have been much 1 letter to have waited and had a free race. ltlneKvoy'n lllbernlcoii. It will be scon by advertisement in these columns, that this very entertain ing troupe will play here Wednesday night. This is the original “MacEvoy” company, and their first visit to the South for the past seven years. They , give a most interesting and varied show, and it would fully repay anyone to see them. Their matlnoo for Thursday afternoon at 3 o’clock is something to which all of the mothors should carry their chil dren—large or small sized. Admission to Wednesday night’s entertainment is 75 cents and to the matinee 50 cents; children 25 cents. Heath of Mr*. Jnnipn T. Cook. Sunday afternoon, Mrs. Cook, wife of Mr, James T. Cook and stop-daugh- tor of Mr. (’has. E. Bowyer, of (this city, died. The funeral took place yes terday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock, from the late residence of the deceased. Rev. A. B.

She will bo interod this morning near her late home. Carve IIiinIucm.. The warehouses presented a busy ns poet yesterday, although it was a dis agreeable day. The Jordan and Wylly discharged their cargo of cotton, amounting to 808 bales of cotton, and the railroads 300 while only 18 were re ceived by wagons—making a total of I, 108, counting 20 received by river for the Eagle and Phenix. Tlie receipts amongst the warehouses were not very evenly divided, the highest receipts of any ono being 418, and the lowest 11. The stm*k is now very heavy and tho receipts light. Klv<>r*cwi. The steamer Pig Foot, from Port Jackson, arrived Sunday night with 340 bales of cotton, consigned jus follows: ’butters’, 182; Alston, 54; Lowell, 45; Fontaine, 31; Alabama, 22; Watt A Walker, 0. The steamer Jordan, from Columbia, arrived yesterday morning with 407 bales of cotton, consigned as follows: Alabama, 172; Fontaine, 130; Planters’, 03; Alston, 40; Lowell, 2; Eagle and Phenix, 20; Abbott A Newsom, 1.

The City Physician reported eight re ceived in hospital, eight discharged and one death Recommends immediate at tention to well at hospital. POLICEMAN WOOD offered his resignation, which was re ceived. John Jackson was temporarily appointed by Police Committee in his stead. ACCOUNTS, amounting to about $1,086.60, wore rec ommended to bo paid. THE COMMUTATION TAX ORDINANCE. Alderman Manley offered the follow ing: Be it ordained by tho City Coun cil that the ordinance passed at tho last mooting, requiring the payment of a commutation street tax at the time of registration, be and is hereby repoaled. During tho reading of the minutes Alderman Scheussler gave notice that he would move, at tho proper time, to strike out that portion of the minutes in relation to the ordinance on the com mutation tax, and immediately subse quent to the offering of the above par agraph, lie moved to strike out the Commutation Tax Ordinance.” Tho Mayor held that an ordinance could only lie repealed by an ordinance, and that Alderman S’s motion had no force. Alderman Manley appealed from the Mayor’s decision, which was sustained according] to the years and nays, which wore called: Yeas— Aldermen Burts, Nuckolls, Swift, Whittle, Andrews and Brown. Nays — Aldermen Curtis, Manley, Schuessler, McGohoe and Coleman. Alderman Coleman then moved that the rules bo suspended that Alderman Manley’s resolution might be read a second time and adopted. It was the wish of Council that tho yeas and nays be called on this. They wore as follows; Yeas —Aldermen Coleman, Manley, McGolieo, Andrews, Schuessler, Curtis, Brown and Swift. Nays—Aldermen Burts, Nuckolls and Whittle. Tho proposed ordinance of Alderman Manley lies upon tho table until next meeting. TO HELP THE SICK AT FERNANDINA. Mayor Brannon mentioned to Coun cil that tho citizens should do some thing to help tho suffering people of Fornandina, and a number of the Board agreed to canvass the city for that pur pose. MORE RAILROAD BUSINESS. The following was road by the May or : Dawson, Oa., October 10, 1877. Honorable Mayor, Columbus, Ga.: Dear Sir—I learn through responsible parties that the Brunswick and Albany railroad will,in short time, bo extended west from Albany,j and that tho Com pany is not fully satisfied with the sur vey from Albany to Eufaula, and that a road from Albany to Columbus via Dawson would bo a bettor route. By uctiug in concert, we might prob ably got tho change which I think would 1)0 great advantage to both places. I therefore take tho liberty of writing you, concerning tho matter should you feel an interest and think anything can bo done in your city, we of Dawson would gladly co-operate with you. Very respectfully. Mayor of Dawson. The Mayor answered tho letter by saying in substance: “Tho spirit is willing, but tho body is weak.” Council adjourned until tho next regular monthly meeting. Complimentary “German.” It will bo given next Wednesday eve ning complimentary to Miss Foster, of Madison, Georgia, who is now sojourn ing in Columbus. Peraouala.

We condense. Jail in good order. Roads and bridges in good order, ex cept the bridge over Turner’s creek, which is being repaired. Since October 23, 1870, orders have been drawn to tlie amount of $4,527 06, from which deduct commissions of officers, $871 08, and a balance of $3,050 08. License, taxes* and sale of estrays foot up $219. The tax levied for tlie present year, if collected closely, will realize $7,772 00—enough to pay off all indebtedness, current ex penses, and leave several hundred dol lars in the Treasury. Tlie treasurer has received $7,188 54 and paid out same. Tax collected for 1870 was $7,071 02. The poll tax for 1875 was $1,497 97, State school fund 1876, $1,019, thus, with $120 20 on hand, giving $3,237 22 for school purposes for the scholastic year. Amount paid teachers and commission er $2,995 30. Balance brought forward $241 92, poll tax 1870 $1,431, State fund 1877 $1,628 20, leaving for the present year $3,301 12 for county education.

Recommend jurors be paid $1 50 per day, bailiff $1 50 and riding bailiff $2, and Sheriff* Hightower a like amount for extra services. Before closing our Presentments we doom it our duty to say, that wo most sincerely deplore the fact that a large number of our fellow-citizens, who were impelled thereto by feelings and impulses almost beyond the power of human nature to control, did recently arrest, condemn and execute, in a most summary manner, the perpetrators of the most diabolical crime that ever darkened the annals of our county—a crime too dark to contemplate without the profoundest feelings of horror ; one that would but very naturally arouse a spirit of .vengeance even in the most* law-abiding men. A wife murdered and outraged by fiends in human shape, and at a time when no friendly liana was near to defend; a husband made frantic by the cruel blow ; a grey-haired father prostrated with grief at‘the vio lent death of his lovely daughter; and the loving, doting mother suddenly summoned to give up her idolized child; a community startled and outraged by the dreadful deed. All of this was well calculated to impell men forward and for the time cause them to forget tho solemn requirements of tho law. And while we, with one accord, are fully satisfied that they did but anticipate the law and its penalties, yet in this their acts wero wrong; and wo exceedingly regret that they did not leave it to the courts and the officers, appointed for the purpose, tp have moot ed out to tho guilty wretches the pun ishment they so richly deserved. We endorse the able and exhaustive charge of his Honor, Judge Crawford, on this, and thank him for his effort to protect society in this behalf. And wo cio most earnestly call upon all good and law- loving citizens to avoid a recurrence of such acts of violence, and wo trust that tho scenes about which wo speak may never again be witnessed in our county. In taking leave of his Honor, Judge Crawford, we compliment him for the able and impartial manner in which ho dispenses justice from the bench, and tender him our thanks for his hinclness to our body. Also to Solicitor General Bussey for his attention to tho duties of his *p°sition and his courtesy to us during tho week. Mayor Paco and Mrs. Josephine Shaw aro dead. Stewart county Democrats have solved that tho rotation system is un wise, and delegates arc instructed to opposo its re-adoption. They also re solved that each district elect one dole- gato to tho Senatorial Convention, and each delegate appoint his own alternate.

Editor Columbus Enquirer: Dear Sir—On tho evening of tho 3d instant the negro Owen Wright, who commit ted rape on Mrs. Ellington, five miles west of Crawford, and tho colored woman Nancy Armor, within one mile of Crawford, on the evening of tho same day, it being the 1st day of Octo ber, of the present year, was taken from jail, in Seale, and carried to the place at which ho violated the person of Mrs. Ellington, and was there recog nized by Mrs. Ellington as the fiend who violated her person, she having previously gone to jail and identified him. After being fully identified as the perpetrator of tho hellish deeds, he made a full confession, acknowledging having committed tho deeds with which he was charged. After said confession, a scaffold was ereoted and ho put upon it, and while upon the scaffold ho made a public confession, stating that he committed the crime with which he was harged; also confessed to having com mitted tho same crime, that of rape, five different times, and to shooting four men—ono white man and throe negroes—but stated that neither of the men ho had shot had died. Also stated that his old mistress had written to him to come back, that is to Georgia, to prosecute “them men” in the United States Court; that ho did prosecute them under falso pretense, and that ho was to receive a salary for said prose- ution, and that his lawyer kept him loekod up to keep him from them, but policemen Jones was too sharp for him, and got him out and delivered him to Mr. Dudley, to ho carried back to Alabama, lie also stated to Mr. Dudley that he (Dudley) had out him out of that salary. In concluding his confession, he said that he had been a bad man, and that it was time an end had boon put to his rascality, that ho desorvod death and was willing to die. His confession being ended, ho was executed in tlie presence of four or five hundred persons, who had assembled to see that justice was done him. James A. Dudley’.

Editor Enquirer-Sun : The State Fair dosed yesterday and was a complete success as far as attendance, which was quite large. On Friday we, in com pany with some Columbus "boys”, started for the grounds, which are just at tho edge of the city. A rain on tlie night before had rendered tho walk very disagreeable. Before arriving at tho gate tlie pedestrian lias a log to walk over a deep.mud hole. A son of Af rica, having imbibed too freely, missed the log and went “ca-slosh” in the mud and water, head first; lie then placed his cane down and endeavored*to rise but it struck a softer place and under went his hoad again, and but for the -assistance of a dusky brother ho would have been there till now. It afforded amusement for a number of people, who laughed as if their aides would break. THE FAIR GROUNDS. The grounds are well located, though very small, and the committee in charge should endeavor to enlarge the enclos ure before the next fair. The amphi theatre is about one-third the size of tlie one at your Fair, and was unable to aeeommoduto half the ladies who at tended. There was a small number of agricultural implements on exhibition, some of which seemed to be good in ventions. STOCK. If the stock exhibited are the best of Alabama, then deliver us from the best, Why, wo can go to the Bonny Doon Stock Farm and the most inferior of the lot will far surpass any exhibited here. RACING was the most interesting feature of the week. Spider, of Columbus, trotted in tho “free for all” races yesterday, and won them fairly, but the judges were either no judges, or prejudiced. Spi der trotted, the mile and Alice West ran tho best portion of it, and actually came under tlie wire in a run in three differ ent bouts. Spider won second prize, MONTGOMERY is quite a large city, and dons a good business. There are many .fine build ings, both public and private. Tlie City Hull is a magnificent structure, under which are tlie commodious meat and vegetable markets. Tho city Clerk and Treasurer have their offices near the station house, which joins the Hall.

Many of our readers who know Spi der, the Columbus horse, and have witnessed his performances, will be interested in the following, which we clip from tlie Advertiser: trotting match for citizen’s purse OF $250. Free to all. Mile heats. Best three in five. Four to enter, three to start. $150 to first, $75 to second, $25 to third. J. D. Odom enters Spider. L. Smith enters Lady Turpin. H. B. Seals enters Mina Link. (4. F. Geers enters Alice West. The interest of the whole week seemed to be centered in this race. Betting was very heavy, and tlie pools ent off rapidly, Alice Wost being the favorite. This mare has a splendid record, and has made less than 2:30. Tlie track here, however, was verj' heavy, and fast time a matter of impos sibility. Lady Turpin is a magnificent animal, with a very fast record. Spi der is Alabama raised, and had tne sympathy of hosts of friends, many of whom risked their judgment and money on him. Spider won track, Alice second. Lady Turpin third. Mina Link withdrawn. Alice got the lead and kept it easily to the quarter pole in 0:40$, when Spider moved up nearly even, Lady Turpiii not far behind, and all passed, the half- mile pole close together in 1:21$. Alice kept ahead, the others near at hand, passing tlie three-quarter pole in 2:00$ L Down tlie home stretch Lady Turpin and Spider received the lash at a furi ous rate, but Alice passed under tho string winner in 2:41$, Lady Turpin second and Spider third. Tlie excitement now was at fever heat, tlie friends of Alice shouting for their favorite. Spider seemed to be,by common consent, regarded as her prin cipal competitor, though he was last in tlie first lieat. Considerable sums of money were put up and bidding at the pool sale was decidedly vigorous. Second lieat.—There was great diffl culty in getting a start, but finally the word was given. Spider slightly led past tho quarter pole in 0:39$, the half mile in 1:19$ and the three-quarter in 1:59, when Alice passed to the front and won the heat in 2:41$, Spider hardly a length behind, and Lady Turpin very close up. Again tlie shouting was intense and the excitement growing. If the track had been in good condition the time would have been below 2:30. Third lieat.—Alice got the lead and was in front all the way passing tlie quarter in 0:34, the half in 1:30 and the other two were even with each othor, and tho lash was used on them consid erably. Alice broke several times and as she passed under the string first, but only a length ahead of Spider, the heat was awarded to the latter, in conse quence of Alice’s running—time 2:41$. Alice second and Lady T. third. All tho horses were neck and neck during a considerable portion of the heat. Forth lieat.—The friends of Spider were jubilant and counted confidently on his being the winning horse. Much of this interest was duo to his excellent qualities and the fact of his being Ala bama raised. At the word, Alice wont ahead. Like tlie othor heats this was vigorously contested throughout. The quarter was made in 0:41, tlie half in 1:21—and Alice won the heat in 2:43. Having won three heats, tho judges announced that Alice was the winner. Tho condition of the race being that the winner should lieat 2:40, none of them could claim the money, but tho judges announced that they would unanfmous- lv recommend that Alice receive the first $150, Spider $75, and Lady T. $25. This will no doubt be done, as the 2:40 would have been very easily beaten by all of them on a dry track. SUMMARY’. Alice Wost 1 1 2 1 Spider 3 2 1 Lady Turpin 2 3 3 Time—2:41$, 2:41$, 2:41$, 2:43.
