r COLUMBUS SUNDAY ENQUIRER: SUNDAY MORNING, Quinta}} ‘gnqnivtt. COlit’-MIU H 6EOBGIA : SUNDAY NOVEMBER 11, 187: 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 If received at as low an amouut as twenty-live cents, the amount not to exceed 8290. It provides that when $25 i* deposited, it shall bear three interest when placed subject to ten days notice before|calL It au thorize* the issue of.3-65 bonds, in de- noininatioi’s of $25, $50, $100 and$200, with i*oiiimc!s payable every three months, which, on demand, shall be 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. /,I«KK/1. Had Show lug Tor the Young Republic— Unhealthy Condition of the Const— Iinineuse|Cr.st of Living—YVlint Is Nec essary to African Development. 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. Failure Iff t'Muudm.

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. SOUTH CAROLINA. Muialls' 4'ane tiiven to tin* Jury. Special ttt Knqu irer-Stin. ] Columbia, November 10.—In the trial of Congressman Smalls the de fense put up no witnesses, which gave counsel the privilege of replying to the State’s attorney. Ex-Judge Car penter made the opening speech for Smalls. He was followed by Col. Youmans and Gen. Connor for the prosecution, and the argument was closed by ex-Judge Melton in behalf of the prisoner. Judge Townsend delivered the charge, and the jury took the ease under consideration about dark. The defendant’s counsel dwelt upon the necessity for every juror to act independently and not allow others to influence them. A--*--*- COTTON. 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. FOR ALABAMA. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] 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 ent of Disraeli once took his two sons to town to present them to his ! distinguished leader. “Give them a word of advice, Mr. Disraeli, on their ! introduction into life,” said he, “it j would be an honor they would | never forget.” The Premier was very much worried at the request, j but at last he consented. “Never try | to ascertain,” he said to the elder j boy, “who was the man who wore the I iron mask, or you will be thought a terrible bore.

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.

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. the ardahax column. The Standard's Alexandrinople special correspondent telegraphs as follows: The Ardahan column joined General Heimann after the battle of Deve Boyun. The Turks lost there 2,500 killed, wounded and prisoners, and a great part of their artillery. ARRESTS IN CONSTANTINOPLE.

It 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. BOMBARD I NO PADGORITZ A.

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. ENGLAND. Mayor of Liverpool. London, NoA'ember 10.—Arthur B.

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.
