SALISBURY ti VO., Proprietors.
The tow of the Future City, 'which
arrived at New Orleans last Sunday
from St. Louis, amounted to an equiv
alent of over 100,000 bushels of grain,
or equal to a train of 289 cars loaded
with grain. ^ t
John Habhertox, the author of
“Helen’s Babies,” has failed as a lec
turer. There is compensation in the
thought that had he succeeded he
might have demoralized the lyceums
as much as he has the popular litera
ture of the day.

According to official statistics,
there are over 73,000 individuals out
of a million in Italy, who attain the
age of sixty; a slightly less number
in England : about 77,000 in Hol
land ; over 7$,000 in .Sweden ; 80,500
in Denmark : 88,400 in Belgium, and
about 101,500 in France. Great
Britain takes the lead in centena
rians, having fifteen in every mil
lion. France and Belgium have
seven each ; Sweden two, and Hol
land one.

Senator Jones has made a careful
canvas of the Senate, and is sure that
Bland’s silver bill will get a majority
in that body, but doubts two-thirds,
and is dubious about the President’s
signature. Hard money men regret
the passage of Bland’s bill, but are
helpless. They use a specious argu
ment, that if it becomes a law it will
make all customs dues payable in sil
ver, and as soon as dollars are coined
the Treasury will take in silver alto
gether, and neverget a dollar in gold.

The discussion between ex-Presi-
dent Davis and ex-Senator Hunter in
reference to tiie Hampton Roads con
ference and the arrangements for
peace in 18(54-’5 is assuming a sharp
personal tone, and is likely to bring
out many interesting facts of history
not hitherto disclosed. To the recent
letter of Mr. Davis, which is deemed
very offensive, Mr. Hunter lias pre
pared a full reply, in which he vindi
cates his own course and reviews that
of Mr. Davis. The reply will be
printed in the Southern Historical
Magazine.

There is not the most amicable,
courteous and Senatorial feeling be
tween the two Florida Senators,
Messrs. Conover and Jones. The
former is a Republican, the latter a
Democrat. Senator’Conover a long
time ago had a colored man, Zebulon
Elijah, by name, appointed postmas
ter at Pensacola. The inhabitants
agreed that he was a good officer and
the Democratic newspapers said he
was the best the city had ever had.
Owing to unavoidable occurrences it
became necessary for Elijah to obtain
a new bond, but he was unable to do
so in the time allotted him. At this
point Senator Jones steps in and lias
an’old Confederate comrade named
Lee, appointed in Elijah’s place and
his name was sent tothe Senate three
days ago. Conover is now wonder
ing, like Blaine, Conkling, Edmunds,
Jones, of Nevada, and a dozen others,
whether this is a Republican Admin
istration and has had many sharp
words with his Con federate colleague.
The bill introduced into the House
by Phillips, of Kansas, for Postal
Savings Banks, provides that at each
office where the Postmaster’s salary is
SI,ihki, on application, a savings bank
shall be established. Deposits shall

payable on the amounts deposited
when called. It provides for addi
tional bonds for the Postoffice where
such banks arc established, and that
the bonds may be increased from
time to time, and leaves the execu
tion of the provisions of the act with
the Postmaster General. The Secre
tary of the Treasury to issue the
bonds on notification of the Postmas
ter General that more than $5,000,000
is so deposited, that amount being
held under the Sixth Auditor for pay
ment of account demands.
OI K lOlSTV CONVENTION.
A full account of it is given in our
local columns. There were no
speeches. Leading citizens assem
bled to act, not for the expenditure of
words. We believe the resolutions
express the views of the vast majority
of the voters of Muscogee. It was
determined there sheuld be a free
race for Representatives. So the
bridles are off and all can run who
choose.
In regard to the Senatorial nomina
tion thp rotation system, which is
the bane of any country, was con
demned. The right idea is to take
the best. men. no matter from what
section they come. The basis of rep
resentation in the Senatorial conven
tions is in accordance with a sugges
tion made in this paper several days
ago. It is fair and just, because
founded on the voting strength of
the Democratic party in preceding
elections. It is. equal to all, and
gives none a preference of inter
est. The district is regarded as
°no, and each county is entitled to
one delegate for every one hundred
votes ca*t andoueadditional for every
fraction ot votes over fifty. This
means representation according to
population and is the only mode by
which jiarty difficulties can he avoided.
It is in favor of no men or counties.
Such a rule has been in vogue for
many years among the imputations
ot the North and West and has been
found to work well. According to
this ratio in a district convention
now, Muscogee would be entitled to
eighteen votes and Marion and Chat
tahoochee counties six each.
Following the same line the Con
vention continued the Executive Com
mittee with the addition of two mem
bers from each of the town districts.
1 his i* correct for it has regard to the
voting strength of thelieats. Ofcourse
the section which has the most votes
should have the most influence.
In accordance with the request of
Marion and Chattahoochee counties,
xud appreciating the courtesy of their
taction, clie Convention appointed
nine delegates to meet tlioap of the
■sections which meet in Columbup on
tiie 15th.
In all the resolutions the principle
.actuating ull, was to place every por
tion of the district on an equality, to
regard it as one political division, and
not divided by creeks and imaginary
fines. Tiie people were regarded and
toot arbitrary boundaries.
OIK KENT FT I. DAYS.
The most delicious feeling in this
world is rest. Utterly wearied, it is a
real luxury to drop into ail easy chair,
and forgetting the world and by it
forgot, hardly breathe a thought.
One waits in perfect apathy, careless
alike what the future may bring, or
the past has been. One is content
to be quiet, silent and alone. It is
pleasant thus to sit often when others
around are conversing who will allow
you dreamily to listen without the
annoyance of reply or the offer of a
suggestion. In musing fits, when all
outside is chill and drear, watching a
glowing fire, or the dying away of the
smouldering embers on the hearth,
one can image in the bright hues
before him the fancies of a genial
imagination, in which self roams in
elysian with those it is fondest of.
Change of occupation serves the de
sired purpose. We have known prin
ters to sit up until|the wee ema’ hours
hard at work, and thefi, for fun, play
cards until noon.’ It was rest. Some
slumber sweetly in our churches,
others pay marked attention, and the
mind of each is refreshed when
tiie service is over, while to
others the attendance is the hard
est of most difficult labor. Sun
day is the heaven of the
weary. Let all enjoy it in their pe
culiar way unquestioned, provided
the gratification sought is harmless
and exhilarating—some visiting the
houses of worship, others the woods,
God’s first temples, and commune
with Nature,others seeking charming
retreats and the companionship of
friends, others in the perusal of books
that relax thealmost exhausted brain,
and give it a new sensation of the
serenity of happiness. Sunday is the
rest day of humanity. It should be
observed by all, for it is a necessity
of our being. It was set apart for
every one, and each should gather
from it all the pure bliss lie can, that
the mind and body may be refreshed
for the toil that is just ahead. Vice
can make it a heavy bunion ; so can
too much of puritanism, that checks
every innocent aspiration outside the
strict line of supposed duty. Our
times of leisure should be holidays,
when the glad heart should pour
forth its thanks in that way which
will best tend to elevate one’s own
nature ami show appreciation of the
blessing. Because one rarely darkens
the doors of churches is no reason to
charge him with misappropriating
or spending unworthily his resting
time.
Often when worn and weary—
heart, soul and brain thoroughly
fagged—saddened, perhaps, by thick,
thronging memories and fears, does
one long for a taste of that unclianted
Lotos, “laden with flower and fruit
whereof they gave to each” and
“music in his ears his beating heart
did make,” and echoes the song:
“Let us alone. Wliat is it that will last?
All things are taken front us and become
Portions and parcels of the dreadful Past.
Let us alone. What pleasure can we have
To war with evil ? Is there any peace
In ever climbing up the climbing wave ?
All things have rest, and ripen in the grave
In silence; ripen, fall and cease.
Give us long rest or death, dark death or
dreamful ease.”
Then comes sweet slumber, the re
freshing, grateful Sunday, and our
dreams of the Lotos eaters are ban
ished in the activity of bustling life.

New York Herald Correspondence.]
Washington, Nov. 0, 1877.—The
Department of State is in receipt of
information from Liberia on the sub
ject of the condition of that country
and its adaptability for colonization.
It is represented that the frequently
repeated statements as to the fertility
of the soil and the beauty of the
country are correct, but that the
climate on the seaeoast is very dan
gerous to all but the natives. Horses,
mules and donkeys cannot live there.
Horses are found "in the interior, but
when brought to the seaeoast sicken
and die. Although as to temperature
constant summer prevails, yet the
miasmatic influence caused "by the
heavy rains alternating with hot
sunshine causes sickness during six
months of the year, and during the
remaining six months the power of
the sun is such that it is almost im
possible for any hut natives to work.
The mean temperature is about eiglity-
five degrees; but, on aecount of the
dampness of the climate, the heat is
sultry, tiepressing and weakening.
There is still very little civilization
and very little agricultural enterprise.
COSTLY LIVING.
Liberia has never produced suffi
cient food for her own consumption,
and although she should be a great
rice growing country, rice is imported
from England and other countries
and sold at $4 a bushel—twice the
cost at which better rice could he
grown and sold there. Flour is $14 a
barrel, butter $1 per pound, and hams
from $5 to $8. Other provisions are
proportionally high. There is not a
plow in use in Liberia, and the agri
cultural implements are of the most
primitive character, such as cutlasses,
hoes, bill hooks, &e. There are no
public schools. The immigrant has
to compete with the native labor.
The natives are strong and hardy,
and one of them will do the work of
a horse at fifty cents a day. The set
tlers wanted in Liberia, as thoughtful
and prominent Liberians recognize,
are those who can afford and would
prefer to pay their expenses of voyage
and settlement.
THE HILLY COUNTRY.
The back hilly country is said to be
fine and healthy, hut it is penetrable
only by the footpaths which have
been cut by the natives through the
almost impenetrable forests, and
everything must be borne on the
heads and backs of native carriers, as
there are no roads. The fact is, that
the settlers cannot go to the high
Dills and undulating plains, said to
be in the interior of Africa, without
means to provide themselves with
roads, and without treaties of com
merce and friendship with the nume
rous petty kings, who are in many
instances either openly or covertly
hostile. It would frequently be
necessary to enforce such treaties by
means of an armed force, as England
and other European Powers which
have African possessions have found
from experience.
PLANS OF AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT.
An interesting account of the plan
of African development carried out
by the British at Sierra Leone is
given. At first young Africans from
the colony were educated in Europe
with the view of qualifying them to
train and lead their countrymen, but
it was found that such education
somewhat unfitted them for their
life in Africa, and therefore schools
and colleges were established at Sierra
Leone for the education of young
Africans, hundreds of whom are now
educated yearly and prepared to take
an active "part in the development of
their country. So far as yet seen this .
f ilan of the evangelization and civiliza-!
ion of Africa bv the indigenous
people with the aid of foreign nations
seems practicable and likely to suc
ceed.
The establishment of manual labor
schools in Liberia iseuggested. Some
of the native tribes, especially the
Vei tribe,forty miles from Monrovia,
are of remakable intelligence and
oonffd be made use of in the develop
ment of Liberia.

Fire—Two Burned Alive.
From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.]
Jefferson, City,, Novembers.—
The affair with penitentiary convicts
at Mount Serratt, as stated by Mr.
Willis, warden of the penitentiary,
who arrived from Mount Serratt this
evening, is as follows : It appeal's
that a considerable number of con
victs were working in the coal mines
at Mount Serratt. They were quar
tered in a large wooden barracks,
with a stockade surrounding it. For
some days past Charles Butler, a col
ored convict, had been acting badly,
aiui was anticipating punishment.
He had endeavored to get the aid of
tiie other convicts, and resist punish
ment should it be attempted, and two
men promised to assist him. About
8 o’clock last night, after all the
prisoners were in their bunks in the
second story and attic of the build
ing, Superintendent Todd stepped to
the head of the stairs and called for
Butler to come down. A large coal
oil lamp standing on a bracket was
immediately seized and thrown to
the head of the stairs where Todd
stood. The lamp broke and the oil
flew in all directions, setting fire to
the stairs and some bedding near by.
Todd at once alarmed the guards by
firing his pistol, and sprang down the
burning stairway, and seeing that the
destruction of the building was inevi
table, ordered the prisoners to jump
from the windows, which they did,
the guards being stationed in the
mean time so as to prevent escapes.
All in the second story escaped with
out serious injury, but those in the
other became panic-stricken, and as
the windows in the gable ends of the
buildings were the only means of es
cape, they jumped out so fast they fell
upon each other, and several of them
were badly hurt. Nineteen in all re
ceived greater or less injuries. The
building was destroyed in fifteen
minutes, and a small part of the
stockade was burned. The prison
ers were marched down to the mines,
where they spent the night, and to
day, lumber, food'clothing, Ac., were
sent from Jefferson City. On exami
ning the ruins this morning, two
bodies were found in the debris. The
wounded convicts were brought to
Jefferson City to-day and placed in
the prison hospital. It is said one or
two prisoners have explained, by say
ing that one of the stockade guards,
seeing the men jumping from the
windows, and not knowing the build
ing was burning, fired on them,
thinking they were trying to escape.
Some of the wounded say a plot had
been formed to burn the mines and
escape, but some changes were made
in tin* men at work, and it was frus
trated.

Report* of ExrliaiiKts Tot' October.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
Memphis, November 10.—The crop
report of the Memphis Cotton Ex
change for October is based on 144
responses, as follows : West Tennes
see 41, North Mississippi 51, North
Arkansas 52, averaging November
1st. It states there is much difficulty
in arriving at the probable yield, but
indications are a depreciation of 25
per cent, during the month, but with
cold, dry weather, much of the antic
ipated loss can be reclaimed. One-
half of the responses report the weath
er favorable, others very unfavorable
from excessive rains, and less favorable
than last year. All report no killing
frost during the month. As to pick
ing 37 per cent of the crop has been
picked, and 65 report with favorable
weather picking will be completed
from the 1st to the 30th of December,
average date being the latter. The
yield is averaged at 1 per cent, more
"than in 1876, or 25 per cent, below
September’s prospective, and 1 per
cent, better than last year after the
frost, which damaged the crop 26j
per cent. Owing to the excessive wet
weather and the absence of killing
frost, bottom crops are more back
ward in opening than ever known,
and are receiving serious damage by
rot. Labor moral is good.
The prospective increase in the
acreage of tiie wheat crop is 15 per
cent. The corn crop is out of danger,
but planters are much disappointed
in the yield. The pork crop averages
25 per ’cent, less than the probable
needs during the coming season.

Mobile, November 10.—Forty-one
counties sent eighty-four letters. The
weather during October lias been gen
erally wet and unfavorable, and less
favorable than last year. There have
been light frosts in the middle and
northern counties of the State, but no
damage has resulted to the cotton
crop therefrom. About 60 per cent,
of the crop lias been gathered. The
expectation is that picking will be
finished in the upland counties by
the 1st to tiie 15tli of December, and
the prairie counties about the 15th of
December, some few say the last of
December. The yield, compared with
that of last year, is estimated at 9 per
cent, less in the uplands, and 17 per
cent, more in the prairie counties.
FOR MISSISSIPPI.
Twenty counties sent 47 letters.
The weather during October lias been
fine in four counties, and wet and
unfavorable in sixteen counties.
Compared with that of last year, it
has been more favorable in six eoun- j
ties, and less favorable in fourteen
counties. Light frosts have occurred |
blit no damage lias resulted to the !
crop. About one-half of the cotton |
has been gathered, and it is estimated j
that picking will not be finished be
fore the middle or close of December. I
The yield compared with that of last j
year "is estimated at five per cent, in- ;
crease in one county, the same in six ,
and about 16 per cent, less in 13.
It is related that 4 devoted adher

CONUNDRUMS OF HOAR.
At the meeting of the Committee

held on Monday next, the following
resolution will be submitted by Sena
tor Hoar, of Massachusetts:
Resolved, That after hearing such
evidence as tiie ('ommittee shall deem
competent, the Committee will report
to the Senate its conclusion upon the
following questions: 1st. Were the
persons holding certificates from the
Returning Board alone entitled to
vote in the election of Senator at the
time Kellogg claims to have been
elected? 2d. Can any subsequent
events affect the legality of an election
held oil the 10th of January, 1875?
3d. Did the Returning Board aet
fraudulently in determining the ques
tion to whom they should issue certi
ficates? 4th. Whether the persons
who voted in the election of Kellogg
were sueli persons as would in fact
have been entitled to have seats by
the respective houses on a fair and
just trial and decision of each case on
its merits.
REPU15LICAX C AUCUS.
The Republican Senators were in
caucus from eleven to half past five.
The result has not transpired beyond
that it appears to have been a friendly
talk with no party in a majority oh
any topic. It is impossible to obtain
exact information of proceedings of
the Republican Senate caucus, beyond
that, no action was taken that binds
any member. Senator Conkling was
there to “epigram” it. King Caucus
is dethroned.
MORE REGARDING THE CAUCUS.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.] .
Washington, November 10.—The
Republican Senators had a caucus
to-day of unusually long duration,
which continued from about noon till
after 5 o’clock. It was called for the
purpose of exchanging views upon
the political situation, and was very
fully attended. The topics discussed
were the so-called Southern policy
and civil service policy of the present
Administration, with especial refer
ence to the Louisiana contest and
sundry nominations,such as the New
York Custom House appointments,
now before the committees of the Sen
ate for examination. No action was
taken by the caucus in regard to any
of the questions involved. Opinions
were, however, freely interchanged
by nearly all the Senators present,
showing that a majority were not in
accord with the views and action of
the President on one or the other of
both the subjects discussed, but that
there were less than a majority dis
posed to make any formal issue" with
him, such a course not being, in the
judgment of the great number, expe
dient in a party point of view, or
called for by the public interests un
der the present circumstances. The
expressions of opinions to-day were
more than ordinarily free and explic
it, there being special pledges tlijt the
utterances of individual members
should not be made known to the
public.

Similar sentiments were expressed
by Ellis, of Louisiana.
When the question came to ad
mission, there were but 38 Dem
ocratic votes in its favor.
The Republicans waited for all the
rest of the Democrats to vote, intend
ing, if there was a Democratic major
ity for it, to let it be agreed to, so as
to have a yea and nay vote in the
House, but the Democrats check
mated that game and voted it them
selves, the Republicans then joi ning

London, Nov. 10.—Constantinople
dispatches deny the reports that
Moukhtar Pasha was wounded in
fighting near Erzeroum on Monday
last. They also mention an engage
ment at Baiburt, which may account
for Moukhtar Pasha’s determination
to defend Erzeroum as Baiburt is on
his shortest line of retreat to Trebi-
zond, or it may be the Russians un
successfully attempted to prevent re
inforcements going to Erzeroum. The
latter is most probable, as further
Turkish dispatches reiterate accounts
of the Russian defeat in the last attack
which would hardly be possible had
not reinforcements arrived.

HOUSE.
Washington, November 10.—The
House to-day finished the considera
tion of the army bill in the Commit
tee of the Whole, where another
amendment was adopted limiting the
force of the army to its present num
ber, hut directing four cavalry regi
ments, with 100 men in each com
pany, to be stationed in Texas. This
was found after the bill was reported
to the House to conflict with a previ
ous amendment, and as there was
not time to straighten out the crook
edness, no final action was taken on
the bill.
The discussion in the committee
developed the fact that within the
last few weeks the army had been re
cruited to the number of 565 men.
This action of the Secretary of War
was characterized by the chairman
and other members of the Appropria
tion Committee as being Without law j
and deserving of impeachment.
Foster, of Ohio, remarked, that re- j
eruiting might well be done Avithout j
money, as the army itself had been
run without money, to Avliieh Black
burn, of Kentucky, replied that for
that act au explanation would soon
be demanded.
Foster challenged inquiry, and re
marked, that when it came, the peo
ple would be treated to a rare sboAv.
Blackburn replied that the show
Avould be condemned by the better
part of the people.
An amendment Avas offered by
Hooker, of Mississippi, providing
that no money should be expended in
sending any part of the army into
a State for the purpose of suppressing
insurrections or protecting the peace,
unless on application of the Legisla
ture or Governor of such State.
Garfield, of Ohio, attacked this
amendment as one intended to
shackle the President, and Avhich, if
it had been on the statute book in
18IjO, would haA - e tied the hands of
the Executive and destroyed the Goa - - I
ernment. He did not mean to imply
that there Avgs any such object iii
vieAV iioav, but the proposition at this
time Ayas calculated to damn the
country.
Hooker disclaimed having any-
other intention than that of prevent
ing the army being used for jHilitical
purposes, and reminded Garfield of
the substance of the pro\'ision which
Avas enacted in 1787 and appeared in
the revised statutes of 1872.
Mr. Speaker Randall took the floor
in response to one of Garfield’s re-
racy. Murad and his mother remain
at Tcheragan palace, but have been
warned that it might be necessary to
remove them to another residence.

London, Nov. 10. — The Times'
Paris correspondent says it is report
ed the Right intend to interpellate the
Cabinet to-morrow in order to gi\ r e it
an opportunity of defending its system
of official candidatures. The Left,
however, seem resolved to take no
part in the debate, not wishing to
facilitate the Cabinet’s retirement
before the reassembling of the Senate,
as it is said in that e\ r ent, it would be
replaced by a fresh Conservative Cab
inet. So tar there are no indications
that the Senate will encourage the
conflict desired by the Ministry. The
attitude of the Orleans Prinees now
engrosses attention as they can dis
pose of 21 hesitating beats in the
Senate.

The “Bone and Sliien”
Of our country have often—especially about
election time—been made tiie subject of
laudation; but wlien those useful parts of tiie
human structure become too visible in con
sequence of leanness, they can scarcely be
called graceful. Tiie eye delights not to
dwell upon angles and ridges in either man
or woman. Moreover, extreme emaciation
is a sign of imperfect digestion and conse
quent poverty of the blood. Both these
evils are remedied by Ilostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which render digestion an assim
ilation certainties, in consequence of which
the blood acquires richness and the bodv
substance. Thus are the hollow placesflil-
ed up und the angles rounded otf. Through
tiie instrumentality ot this peerless aid to
digestion and promoter of physical well be
ing, the body rapidly gains in vigor, color
returns to the hollow cheek, tiie appetite
improves, nervous symptoms vanish, and
a healthful impetus is given to every vital
function.
