LARGEST (TTY (TIM 'ELATION JIKD MOKE THAIS TWICE THE LARGEST AGGREGATE CinCUIjATIOS ! The Russians took Kara in 1828, 1834, 1855, ami now again in 1877. „ , ■ - ♦ W ♦ * Greenland lias nocat*.

N., tlie Immortal Philosopher, otrereil himself to lie hanged in Ber- gin's place, but the unreflecting Gov ernor declined to make the change. It is said that there are one hun dred men engaged in drumming on the streets of Atlanta, Ga., for local retail trade. They represent princi pally the dry goods and clothing houses, and always work on commis sion. The Supreme Court of Georgia has decided in the ease of a murderer that “to lie too drunk to form the intent to kill, he must be too drunk to form the intent to shoot.” This decision will not lie welcome to those criminals who steep themselves with liquor whenever they wish to do some dastardly deed. ♦- -*► On Saturday, 16th instant, Lydia Thompson will sail for England, bringing her American tour to an abrupt termination at the end of seventeen weeks, instead of continu ing it for the thirty weeks contemplat ed at the outset. Circumstances, the chief of which bus been Miss Thomp son's ill health, have made the pre sent season of her troupe a disastrous one. Conkmno’b long speech consisted muinly of a hypocritical appeal for magnanimity to the Democratic Hen ators. Usually lie is brutal and haughty, but to-day lie begged for quarter, and asked them not to join ilia personal war on him. Rluinc, who is not on terms with Conkllng, spoke on his side, their common aim being to break down the Southern policy of the President. -+• # + -- l'l Ncii hack, in Ids letter of reslg nation to Governor NIcIioIIh, gives his Republican friends in the Senate some hard nuts to crack. The celeri ty with which they voted Kellogg into a seat, with a fraudulent elnim in his bunds, strikes i'inchhack as being a very J peculiar manifestation of devotion to the colored race. Pinch hack naturally thinks his claim was better than Kellogg’s, lie should have long ago discovered that Repub lican humanitarlaiiism is the most villainous hypocrisy in the world. The Mesquite shrub, which grows in profusion in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, is almost identical with gum arabie, and serves the same pur pose. Last year nearly 30,000 pounds of It were gathered in Texas. Al though it has been generally cleared otf the lands by farmers like a useless weed, it was valued by the Indians because of its large edible pod, which constituted a rich article of food among them. There seems to la) nothing In nature that nuiy not lie turned to good account if its proper ties are properly understood. Peter 1{. Sweeney has made the fluid payment of the $450,000 that was exacted from him in settlement of the ring suits,and got his e-ash to do it with from Jay Gould. Sweeney owned half of a valuable plot of land at Thirty-fourth street and Sixth ave nue. A transfer of tills property to Catharine Hraily in November last attracted some attention. To-day, however, eleeels of it we're transferreei to Jay Gould, In consideration of which Goulel paid Sweeney and Hugh Smith $240,000 uml assumed a mort gage eif $300,000. The payment set tles Sweeney’s suits with the city. Confessions of a Baltimore tramp: “At Perryville 1 went bin house witl a lirle'k hi my hand, and asked the lady if she would please he so kiiiel ees to put some butter on it. The reque exe'ited her curiosity, unel she asked ‘Why elo you want to put butter on a brick'ft I teilei her l was going to cut it. ‘Surely,’ she saiel, ‘yeiu are not so hungry as to eat a buttered brie-k Conic into tlie house anil I will giv- you fooel.’ 1 bagged a square meal for which 1 had se't so slick a trap. I the western section of the State I ask eel for something to e-at at a house and was refuse'd. 1 then begged for a looking-glass, which aroused curiosi ty to know what I woulel elo with tile mirror. I replied, ’l want to sex' my self starving to eleatli.’ They then gave me wlmt I wanted." The resolution introduced by Se-nu- tor Matthews in Hie- Senate, to pay the bonds in silver, was concurrent unit not a joint re'soUitlon. A concur rent resolution eioe's not ivquire tlie signature' of tlie* President, but lias not the force [of law. Matthews’ mo tive in thus making it a concurrent resolution is evidently to get a test vote, so that the President e'tin be aetvisexi by it of the actual strength of the members of both house's wlio be lleve legislation in accorelatice with tlie resolution shoulet lie effix'teil. When tlie re'solution was before* tlie Senate, Dawe-s called Matthews’ at tention to the fact that it was concur rent, anil not Joint, and interjected the remark, "I think the Senator means a joint resolution,'' to which Matthews replied, -“No, sir; 1 mean one-urrent resolution, exactly us it states,” rfai.i t ASTeilsniJdl The Intelligence is now received that the Central Railroad Company lias declared a semi-annual dividend of two and a half per cent, payable on the 2nth and the Southwestern three and a half. The latter, according to the terms of the lease, the Central is comjielled to pay, no matter whether it makes anything, and its stoekliolelers will get as much more- according, as the Central dividends exceed seven per cent. They must, however, get the latter. People generally will lie-as tonished to hear that the- Central Railroad will give up anything, and that u dividend lias been declared will excite amazement. The past (lseal year has lice-n one of comparatively small business to the ronel. On ac count of Its grasping, ungenerous management, ruinouselise-rimiiuiUons and the attempt to destroy its best feeders, the company has lost all its friends, and no shipper will e-mploy its services except through compulsion All those- who eleponileel on the ronel, in which their means were Invested for some return have long since been compelled to se-11 out to those who cli'cted the present ofllcers, whose idea is to haul from a elistant point for nothing, anil crush those near at hand by comparatively enormous charges. Its policy for years has been to keep the- liiglie-st possible rates at towns where there is no competition anil make them pay for the iosse sustained at those- points where they meet rivals. It cares nothing about building up tlie South, but rather to ruin it. No advantages nor the slightest encouragement arc given manufacturing enterprises. It makes nii endeavors to build up the country It would increase its passenger rate from lie-lple-ss places, but flint undo its charter not exceeding a certain mileage, four cents, can be charged To get tills last dividend wages of employes have been put elown to a limit which barely affords n live-li hood. Its declaration causes tlicsus- picion Unit Home of the large ownen arc manipulating the stock so as to unload tliemselvcH at a profit of a heavy incumbrance, if there wns ever the grossest monopoly, one eletri mental to tlie Slate- which gave it valuable frane-liiscs and built it, till: large corporation of the Central Railroad is (lie- worst and most oj prcHsive. By the fortunes of n revo lution 11. has passed into alien hands, By Its unjust discriminations it has been a curse to our own city. It linH enveloped every outlet in il toils. Business circles ei complain of tlie' charges, but they rightly elo of the arbitrary e-x actions wliie-b give's io place's, rival of bur own, hundreds of miles west warel enormous oelels over our trade All the towns have simply asked t be placed on an cepiality, anil 1 lie only answer is “help yourselves." Thor but out- way to elo so, anil that is by extending tlie North & South Road, hut moneyed men lecline to embark in tlie enterprise, State aid lias played out, nml that wonderful power never chose Colum bus as a favorite. There is but one way to stop these Invidious discriminations, and that is appeal to the Legislative authority. That is tlie resort to which wo can go, mil tlie highest court in the land lias said it Iiiih the power to I'ontrol trans portation. Let our Council and peo ple aelopt the suggestion of Rex, made Htereluy’s paper. Appoint a oniniittce of citizens and aldermen to prepare the matter and have it presented suitably whenever tho Leg islature meets. We have able* Ropre- litatives to press thomattcr,and they will do it with force mid eloquence'. Act in time, so ns to secure' the co-op- ration of others, and let it be under- stooel it is the sovereignty of the' peo ple arrayed against the most grinel- ing monopolies—that it shall not bo allowable for a company that has had Immense grants from Georgia to make Georgia towns pay for losses foolishly and wantonly incurreel in otlii'r States—and establish something of a uniformity of transportation barges. The very fact that the Central com pany has declared a dividend creates suspicion, for its management is not such us to inspire confidence. Some of the magnates may desire to ged rid of a heavy amount of stock anil this dividend is but a feeling of the “bulls,” who have been depressing the stock heretofore. It will bo to the Interest of our people to induce through the Legislature some “boar” influences on this corporation In iv- gurel to its turifls. THAT BIMEr III.L. As the Macon Telegraph and Mes senger seems a little con fused ns to who secured the passage in the House for the relief of the Eagle and Plie- nlx Company of this city, we would say that the bill was introduced by Mr. Harris, of this elistrict. Colonel Hartrielgc had eharge of itasamember ofthe'juelieiary committeein tlie House As liotli Columbus and Savannah are much interesteel in tills hill, it is but just to say that the unremitting at tention of the above gentlemen made tlie early successful action on tho bill. The internal revenue elei'lsion in this use was so novel and remarkable that tlie judiciary committee, with such eminent lawyers ns Proctor Knott, Julian Hartrielge, Benjamin Rutter and Frye, of Maine, found no difficulty in giving a unanimous re- |Kirt in favor of tlie passage- of tlie lilll of relief. Mr. Harris has but aelded to the esteem lie is held in this section by Ids services in this matter, and we can but sincerely thank Mr. Hartridge in the nnmo of Columbus. The War to Continue.—Totle- ben, the elistingulsheel Russian engi neer, lias burrowed Osman Pasha out of Plevna. Osman lias been shut up for some two months. When envi roned lie had (10,000 men. He sur rendered about 27,000. With provis ions, he could have belli the place- many months longer, for it is well nil'll Impregnable, but hunger, dis use anil cold were worse foes than the Russians. He was surrounded by 120,000 men. The Turks now say they will retire to Adriano- ple, 150 miles from Constantinople, the elefenses of which they allege are stronger than those of Plevna. Tur key must accept tlie inevitable and must ultimately yield. To the Asiutic rumors of England’s taking part in tlie struggle, little at tention Hhould be puiei. An interesting story comes from Arizona. Kellogg anil Carter owned a mining elaim, and foolishly quar relled about It. Kellogg wns a mail of few Words; "light and free was Ids touch upon his revolver.” With little ueio, he Bred at his partner, and supposed that he lind sent a bullet intoliisbreast, butbeliolel 1 Carterwas a good young man, and line! a Bible in tlie pocket of liis gray working shirt. The Gull struck upon the su- creel book, its course wns turned, and Carter was unhurt. Then tliegexiel young man whipped out liis gleam ing bowie-knife, sprang upon Kel logg and carved him so artistically that Ids hold on liis revolver relaxed and lie was like to die. Tlie good young man stanched liis opponent’ wound, mid roeie away for a physi cian, returning within twenty-four hours, having made u total elistane-e of over ninety miles. Kellogg is re Covering. Carter, to avoid arrest sought to cross the river, and tills time the Bible didn’t save him. He was drowned. The moral of tliis cital is very intricate. Blit it is plain Mint Carter wasn’t born to be hanged The figures given by the Coniptrol ler of tlie Currency of the taxes paiel by the national banks in tlie various cities of tliis country are sbmewbat extraordinary. These vary in almost every eity of the Union as tlie nation al, Slale, municipal and license taxes vary. The inequality is far greater than any onewould believe. Albany national banks pay the highest taxes In tllb Union, 0.0 per cent, on their bank capital; New York city bunks pay 5.4 percent.; Chicago, 5.2; Cin cinnati, 4.0 ; St. Louis, 3.9 ; Boston 3; Philadelphia, 2.8; Louisville, 1.9 Pittsburg, 1.9; and, wonder of won elers! New Orleans only 1.8, tlie low est rate of taxation paiel by the nation al banks in any city In the Union. That is, tlie- rate of the taxation of the national banks of Albany is neatly four times as great as in the last named city. The Washington Capital states that the wife of a New York banker appeareel tlie other evening at a party representing Capital. The dress was eovereel on the skirt, so as to make it appear one piece, with one hundred and live hundred elollar bills. The waist anti sleeves were $1,000 bonds sewed in, ami her Ungers unel ears lilazeil with eliunionils. The tiara was saiel to have been worth $80,(KM), and the total value of the notes and ilianiouilson her person was $200,000. Two pages carried her train, anil watclieel lest the jewels nail green backs should fall to tlie floor. THB BAhW.AXT SOMOX. MMth niNllu'1 TnllliwlAt •• lirorgl' Henmtmr. Columbia, 8. C’.,October 31,1877. To General J. II. Gordon: Dear Sir—I am requested by “Co lumbia women” to ask your accep tance of this silver salver, an a token of their gratitude unel regard.

Sir, worels woulel not express the thoughts that move our hearts at the sound of your name. Gordon and Hampton!

Yours, Grace Elmore. Washington, Dec. 3, 1877. To Miss Grace. Elmore, : Dear Madam—I have received the silver salver presented.by tlie women of Columbia, and with it tlie letter from yourself ns their- representative. It would lie unavailing to attempt an expression of my appreciation of tlie gift or my sense of gratefulness for the honor elone me. I am not in sensible, however, of the fact that you place too high an estimate upon my services, for my nature must have been callous indeed if I had not responded to Carolina’s call with every energy of my mind anil every throb of ray heart. Whatever of assistance f have been able to con tribute to the relief of your State from tlie evils of misgovernnient, was rendered to a people bound to those who sent me here by every tie of kinelred, of interest, of de-utliless memories and enduring sympathies. I shall treasure this beautiful gift through life as a memorial of South Carolina’s new birth, and of the too generous tribute paiel to me, by her daughters, for the aid it was my priv ilege to render in tlie time of her elis- tress and humiliation. With sincere thanks to you and to those whom you represent, I am most respectfully and truly yours, J. B. Gordon. “VEGETINE,” Say* ft Bouton physician, “ haa-nO equal aa t blood purifier.
