Last year at tin 1 Municipal election
962 votes were polled, which brought to
the treasury $1,884. MMiis year by tin*
action of Uio majority of Council only
II ,050 can possibly he obtained—a clear
loss to the city of |77H, and no possible
good to be derived ; yet the authors of
the measure by which this large sum
was lost, claim to he economical. This
money, so foolishly lost, would have
paid the interest on $11,(MH) of bonds,
and what has the city gained ? Surely
such economy as this is the perfection
of wisdom, especially when Columbus
needs every dollar she can scrape to
gether. llad not Council passed the
ordinance requiring men to pay two
dollars twenty days before they voted,
there is every reason to believe the tax
from voting would have boon as much
as last year. It now appears that with
out accomplishing the least good a ma
jority of Council deliberately threw
away nearly $800.

A Brilliant Wedding.
Last evening, at the First Presbyte
rian Church of tliis city, at half-past
eight o’clock, Mr. Daniel P. Do/.ier was
married to Miss Havana Beach by Rev.

Tho bride is a daughter of Mr. Wil

teemed young lady will prove an honor
to her new' companion in life and a
shining light amid all of her sox in like
sphere. She will ho missed in the cir
cle from which she has just emerged.
Tho groom is in tho dry goods busi
ness in this city, and is a thorough gen
tleman. He lias many friends who are
very strongly attached to him.
The ceremony, which was performed
in presence of a very large number,
was beautiful and most admirably ex
ecuted by all concerned. Amid tho
solemn air the impressive ami everlast
ing marriage vow was taken and tho
same reminded us of these lines:
•‘For still where the strong Is betrothed to
the weak,
And the stern in sweet marriage Is blest
with the meek,
Rings the concord harmonious, both tender
and strong.”
Manhood and beauty’s smiles gather
ed in holy trust around the sacred
altar.
After t ho ceremony tho invited guests
repaired to the residence of Mr. Beach.
Here all was happiness. A most ele
gant feast was spread, hut it is useless
to comment when “To seek tho beau
teous eye of heaven to garnish is waste
ful and ridiculous excess."
May never a link lie broken in tho
chain of love. ^

SENATORIAL QUESTION.
Editor Enquirer-Sun: Permit me
through your paper to make a reply to
the article published in Saturday’s is
sue in which the delegates of Muscogee
>unty attempted to show that T. W.
Grimes, Esq., is the regular nominee of
the Democratic party for Senator for the
24th Senatorial District. In making
this reply I'll simply say that I am
prompted to do so from a sincere desire
that the voters of the District may have
a true statement of the facts as they ex
ist. Tho report of the prodcedlugs of
the Convention as given by the dele
gates from Muscogee is not a full re
port and consequently incorrect as I
can clearly demonstrate. The Conven
tion was organized by the election of
myself as chairman and Mr. Thomas
Chappell as secretary. As soon as the
Convention was organized Mr. Nuckolls
of Muscogee ottered a sot of resolutions
and stated that he did so in accordance
with the instructions given the dele
gates by the Democratic mass meeting
held in tho city of Columbus on Satur
day the 10th Inst. The resolutions wero
ns follows:
Resolved 1st, That we utterly con
demn tiie system of rotation that now
nrcvailJi and henceforth will not bo
hound thereby; that we regard such
system as dangerous to the best inter
ests of tiie party, and fraught with mis
chief to the State.
2d, That in tho formation of a Con
vention to nominate candidates the
Democratic voters should alone be re
spected, and that we think a fair, equal
ami just plan would he for each county
to be entitled to.one delegate for every'
one hundred Democratic voters and the
factional part thereof over fifty.
The above resolutions w’erosupported
by Mr. Nuckolls in a short speech, in
which lie said that they represented tho
Democratic voters of Muscogee. .Just
at this point the question was asked as
to how the Convention should vote,
whether by counties or by delegates?
My reply was that wo would vote by
counties, and that it took a two-thirds
vote to elect. This ruling was acqui
esced in by the Convention. Believing
tiie resolutions to he unjust and unfair
and knowing that they wore contrary
to all usages and customs that have
heretofore been observed by all Dem
ocratic Con volitions, I called Mr. Levy
to tho chair and opposed the resolutions.
There was considerable discussion, in
which nearly all the Muscogee dele
gates took part. Muscogee insisting on
the adoption of the resolutions and
Marion and Chattahoochee opposing. 1
took occasion to state that Marion and
Chattnhooclieo would not bo bound by
theso resolutions. Seeing that there
was no chance to pass them, Mr. Nuck
olls withdrew the resolutions. Dr.
Bacon then moved to go into a nomina
tion. I ottered as a substitute, that the
Convention first settle tho question be
tween Marion and Chattahoochee as to
which w’as entitled to the Senator under
tho rotation system. The point of order
was made by Mr. Levy, that Muscogee
w’as not sent to settle disputes between
Marion and Chattahoochee, but to nom
inate a Senator. I then withdrew tho
substitute, and moved that the Conven
tion go into a nomination under the
rotation system. This motion was met
with opposition. I then ap
pealed to the delegates from
Muscogee, and told them that we the
dolegates, from Marion and Chattahoo
chee had been instructed to nominate
under flie rotation system as it now
prevailed. Seeing that the Muscogee
dolegates were not inclined to do so, I
then moved to adjourn. The motion
W’as put, and tho vote stood six and
six, Marion nn*d Chattahoochee voting
for, and Muscogee against.
There being a dead lock or’a tie vote,
and there being no other remedy, and
thero being no one to decide, we the
six delegates voting for adjournment
had as much right to doclare tho Con
dition adjourned as the Muscogee had
to say it was not. Tho chair, it is true,
decided the motion lost—but this lie
had no right to do—for tho reason his
vote w’as cast with his county.

which it lias discussed, and most of tho

and high literary tone have drawn to it
contributions from Home of tho ablest

EASE AND COMFORT !
BRISTREE’S
Being left in this dilema, wo could do
nothing else but retire. What more
ould we do ? Muscogee would not
nominate under the rotation rule. She
would not lot us adjourn. She insisted
on going into a nomination without re
gard to county linos, and by that
means defeat the rotation system.
Tiie obovo is in substance a correct
statemont of what took place in the
Convention. We the delegates from
Marlon and Chattahoochee then met at
tho Rankin House, and it was agreed
that under the rule Marion was entitled
to tho noxt Senator. We then expressed
our choice for Major E. W. Miller for
Senator. We do not claim that hp is
the rogulav nominee, but we say that
ho is tiie candidate agreed on by the
delegates of tiie two counties. In re
gard to tho nomination of Mr. Grimes
I will simply say that he stands on the
same footing with Mr. Miller. He is
simply tho choice of Muscogee, and
Miller the choice of the other two
counties. Neither one of thorn received
tiie two-thirds vote, which was neces
sary to nominate. I regrot as much as
any man the present state of affairs. I
did all I could to prevent it. Chatta-
hooeheo eounty took the lead in calling
the Senatorial Convention; it was
called to moot in Cusseta. Marion re
sponded to tho call; Muscogee did
not. I offered a resolution in the
convention at Cusseta to adjourn tho
same to meet in Columbus in order
that Muscogee might have a chance to
ho represented. That resolution cor
dially invited Museogeo to moot us in
convention to nominate under the rota
tion rule. Had I l>een actuated by any
other spirit than that of conciliation I
would not havo offered the resolution,
hut would |have simply gone in with
Chattahoochee and made tho nomina
tion irrespective of the claims of Mus
cogee.
in regard to tho charges that we did
not represent the wishes of our people,
I’ll only say that we carried out our in
structions to the letter and went hack
to our imniodiate constituents, who
have thus far made no complaint, in
public meeting or otherwise, and will
add that we did all we could to sustain
the rule that has by •common consent
prevailed in the three counties for the
last twenty years. Rotation may In*
wrong and it may be best to wipe out
county lines in a Senatorial contest. If
so, will tho rule not hold good as to the
mountains in the Fourth Congressional
District? < W. B. Bvtt. Tl.e finest articles of Solid Silver and

The catastrophe In the stellar sys
tem—the conflagration of a star—
which caused so much commotion in
astronomical circles a few months
ago, is made the subject of an article
in Belgravia by Richard A. Proctor.
He says that this catastrophe hap
pened probably a hundred years ago;
the messenger which brought tlienews
to us, though traveling at a rate suffi
cient to circle the earth eight times
in theeourseof a second, liautra versed
millions ujion millions of miles be
fore reaching us last November. If
a similar accident happened to our
sun the creatures on that side of tiie
earth turned towards him would be
destroyed in on instant, and the rest
very quickly afterwards. The heav
ens' would be dissolved, and
the elements would melt witli
fervent heat. The question is
asked whether the earth is in this
danger, and whether warning would
be given of the coming destruction.
The answer may be gathered from
the facts mentioned in the article.
There have been other solar confla
grations before that which was made
known last fall. Tiie first on record
—observed by Hipparchus—oocurred
2,000 yearn ngo. It was seen blazing
in full daylight, showing that it was
many times brighter than Sirius, the
blazing dog-star. It wus called a new
star because it had ever been invisi
ble until Us conflagration made its
light temporarily visible. The next
new star (or stellar conflagration) ap
peared in the region of the heavens
between Cepheus and Cassiopeia
three times, A. I). 045, 1204,
1572, and is expected to be seen
on tire again before long. This star
remained burning at its last appenr-
ance for sixteen months. It appeared
larger than Jupiter and brighter than
(Sirius. It did not attain tills lustre
gradually, but shone fortli at once in
its full size nnd brightness as If it lmd
‘been of instant creation. In 1596 Fab-
rieus observed a new star in tiie neck
of tiie “Whale” constellation, nnd in
(September, 1004, a new one wns dis
covered in Ophiuclius. In 1070 a new
star appeared in tiie constellation
Cygnus, remaining visible tor nearly
two years. In 1848 another was seen
which lias continued in existence
since its ajquirent creation. • By the
aid of the telespeetroscope—an instru
ment combining tiie telescope and
tiie spectroscope—it was found that
tiie increase in the star’s light, ren
dering the star visible, was
due to the abnormal heat of
tiie hydrogen surrounding that
remote sun. But it could not be
so easily decided whether the hydro
gen was aglow with the heat of the
star or whether absolute combustion
was in process. In other words, was
it a red hot piece of iron or like a red-
hot coal? These star conflagrations,
it is believed, are caused by contact
with other heavenly bodies—meteoric
flights traveling in eccentric paths,
or those in attendance of the comets.
The meteors attendant on a comet
continue to follow in its puth years
after tiie comet lias disappeared. The
tail of the comet of 1848 must actually
have grazed oursun. Newton’s comet
nearly approached it. At any time
we might be visited by a comet
mightier than either, traveling on an
orbit Jntersecting the sun’s surface,
followed by flights of me
teoric musses enormous in size
and many in number, which, fall
ing upon the sun, would excite its
whole frame to a degree of heat far
exceeding what he now emits. We
have evidence of the tremendous heat
to which the sun’s surfttce would be
excited in such a case. In 1859 two
meteoric masses came Into contact
witli the sun. The downfall of these
two bodies only affected the whole
frame of tiie . earth at the very time
when tiie sun had been thus dis
turbed. . Vivid auroras were seen
where they lmd never been seen be
fore, accompanied by electro-magnetic
disturbances all over the world. In
ninny places the telegraph Btruck
work, the signul men received severe
shocks, and at Boston a flame of Are
followed tiie pen of Bain’s electric
telegraph, which writes the message
upon chemically prepared paper.
This was tiie effect of two
meteors. The effect of a com
et, bearing in its flight many
millions of meteoric masses fulling
upon tiie sun—should that take place
—can be understood. Our sun seen
from Home remote star whence ordi
narily lie is invisible would shine out
us a new sun for a few days, while all
tilings living on our earth and what
ever other members of tiie solar sys
tem are tiie abode of life would inevi
tably he destroyed. If a comet came
out of that part of the constellation
Taurus, arriving In such a time as to
fall upon tiie sun in May or June, the
light of tiie sun would act as a veil,
and we should lie instantly destroyed,
without knowing about It. If it fell
in November or December we should
see it for weeks,und astronomers would
lie aiile to tell us when it would
full upon the sun. The dis
turbance upon the sun would
be temporary, but there would be
nost udents of science left to record the
effects. Tiie chances are largely
against such an accident. Our sun is
one among millions, any one of which
would become visible to tiie eye under
such an accident, yet during tiie last
2,(M)U years less than twenty such
catastrophes have been recorded. Mr.
Proctor, tnoreover, reassures us in
anotiier way. He says in effect tliut
all but one of these conflagrations
have impeared in the zone of the
Milky Way, and that one in u region
connected witli tiie Milky Way by a
line of well niurked stars; that the
process of development is still going
on in that region, but that if there be
among tiie comets traveling in regu
lar attendance upon the sun one
whose orbit intersects the sun’s globe
it must have struck before tiie era of
mun, und that in our solar system we
may fairly believe that all comets of
tiie destructive sort have been elimi
tinted, and that for many ages still to
come tiie sun will continue to dis
charge Hits duties as fire, light and
life of the solar system.
