f * i % I COLUMBt'8, GTOBWA « SUNDAY DECEMBER 28,18??. SALISBURY & (X)., Proprietors. A Baltimore magistrate has been displaced for knowing no law. This is hard, after a man has been at the expense of securing an election. The death at Georgetown, D. C., of Prof. Samuel Tyler, LL. D., senior professor in the law department of Columbia University, is announced. ♦ : V Memphis is not a very large city, it has three candidates tor ice of Mayor. Austin, Texas, re*<*MfUdates, and the wrong man was elected after all. The 'fight between Hayes and Conkling is nothing more than a feud ^between Conkling and Evarts. The country is not large enough for the pwogreat statesmen of New York, Celia, Lewis, a pretty Jewess of New York, sues her husband for di vorce because he obtained her under false pretenses. Before marriage he claimed to be a Jew. Now it appears that he is a Christian, and she wants to get rid of him. Htfi ,' ’* • Ex-Secretary Boutwell has completed the first volume of the new edition of the Revised Statutes, under authority of a late law of Congress. The original revision was badly made, and there is a fear that this work will not be an im- ' provpment. Captain Eai*s has obtained the official certificate as provided by act of Congress, which entitles him to a second installment of half a million dollars, payable after securing a channel 200 feet wide and 22 feet deep, from the deep water of the Gulf to the deep navigable current of the Mississippi The crusade in Baltimore society against dancing comes particularly hard on young men who have no other accomplishments, and who yet wish to be agreeable. No matter how much a man may have spent on the education of his feet, in anti-dancing society lie can make no headway with an empty head. The New York Tribune has dis played its usual alacrity in crawling over to what it thinks is the winning side. To use the words of the Eve- nine) Post, “it deserts President Hayes and with bended knyes crowds in among flie^servfle lbllowers of Sena tor Conkling, who thinks that the civil service as it is is perfect, and who regards what the Tribune has lieen saying for years as the babbling of fools.'’ It is probable the census of1880 will not show over 45,000,000. This will be a large population for a country which, ninety years ago, numbered only 3,929,214 souls, all told. It will show that we have become a great people—greater in numbers than France,. Germany or England, and inferior to Russia only of what we call the civilized nations—and possess ing a military strength not equaled by any other people on the globe. The Rev. Dr. Cuyler publishes in the New York Independent, his annual appeal for total abstinence on New Year’s Day. He says thatcoffee and lemonade will satisfy the demand lor hospitality, and he appeals to wo men not to be tempters. $Ie takes ground against Moody and Murphy, who hold that piety will obliterate the appetite for alcohol, although he thinks abstinence is easier for a Chris tian than for a sinner. He asserts j^t inebriety, is on the increase among women. It appears that the election of Pierce as Mayor of Boston was great ly due to the efforts of Gen. Butler’s Simmons, Collector of the Port, who took an active part in the campaign in spite of the President’s civil ser vice rules. It lias been stated that the part Simmons played in the elec tion will cost him his position, which of course will not be the case; but the President is there offered an ex cellent opportunity of carrying his emotional programme into execution by removing a prominent Govern ment official for meddling with local politics. The new California Senator, James T. Farley, is represented as a man of latge and ratkfieJLgavy frame, whose dark hair and full O-aixl arc sprink led with traces of sifverage, but whose eyes look keenly from under its shaggy brow, evidence that while years have left their traces on the body, the brain is yet as clear and active as in youth. Mr. Farley im presses one with an idea of reserve, and although his manner is cordial, still it does not lead one to attempt familiarity. In other words, he is cool, self-possessed and too well ac customed to the ways of the world to be caught with pretty flattery. The sub-committee, consisting of Messrs. Wood, of New York; Gibson, of Louisiana; Tucker, of Virginia; Banks, of Massachusetts, and Bur- chard, of Illinois, appointed by the ways and means committee to con sider the subject of the revision of the tariff and internal revenue taxes, have lieen busily engaged at their work during the recess,, and will probably report early in January, i hey have had before them a number ot representatives of different inter ests, such as silk, wool, sugar, iron, medicine, etc. They decline to give out any of their conclusions at this time, but it is probable that their re port will be in favor of a large reduc tion of articles liable to duty, and a moderate reduction of duties on the leading articles of consumption. It is believed that this can be done with out injury to the revenue. Messrs. Tucker and Burehard have the internal revenue taxes under con sideration. It is lielieved that they will advise a reduction of the taxes on " hiskey and tobacco, and the reim position of the income tax, so that the Eastern States may bear their share of the burden of taxation. The bill will probably be modejtatedimscope, as no extreme mflic^lchangos could pass thegauntleiof tli Presidential veto. the Senate or the W«w V*rk VsdngrMas New York, Dee. 22.—A London dispatch says: A Syndicate lias been formed by w healthy capitalists of London to undertake the construc- tion of the Vandenhnrgh or Central Underground Railway of New York Sir Edward Watkin is at the find of the enterprise.

It to alleged the world is a mere copyist. In the mental realm it does seem to be true. The brain may be racked to excessive pain, and what is deemed some origninal thought is evolved. Ransack the post and the ideate ascertained to be as old as the earliest records of man. Change and mutability may govern, but they seem to revolve in circles. The old superstitions of the dark ages and the early pagan worship still have their leading features impressed upon the present rapid century as firmly as daring the days when they were so ignorantly believed. There is somehow an hereditary reverence for the past implanted in every breast While thus dreaming, we were glancing yesterday over a copy St. Nicholas, the best magazine for children ever published, and interest ing to all, for men and women are but creatures of larger growth. The suggestion was made that of the thousands and millions Mho daily use articles of English manufacture, and see the coat of arms thereon, how many can tell M'hat these arms mean and whence they are derived? In lieu of tiresome political questions let’s write an article about it. The “arms” of Great Britain consists of the device of a lion and a horse (some times represented as a unicorn), sup porting between them a shield sur mounted by a crown. On the shield are divisions called “quarterings,” on one of which are two lions and a horse, and attached to the whole the French sentence, Dieii et mon droit— “God and my right.”' In olden times the national symbol of England u r as the rose, of Scotland the thistle, of Ireland the shamrock or clover, and in the reign of Elizabeth the three were united on the royal shield, and on victory over France the symbol of France, a unicorn, (fabulous animal with one horn, represented in herald ry as a supporter) wearing a chain to denote the subjection of France to England, u-as added When a new sovereign succeeds to the crown of Great Britain he has the right to place his own arms upon the royal shield. George the I., the suc cessor of Queen Annie, was a Guelph, coming from the German, and all the sovereigns succeeding him, including Victoria, are of this family and name. George I. was the son of the grand daughter- of James I. of England, whom the Duke of Brunswick, after ward Elector of Hanover, married. The direct line failing this great grandson, named George Louis Guelf, a Saxon-German, became King of Great Britain, and he added the “lion and horse,” amis of BrunsM’ick and Hanover, to the arms of the realm. Succeeding him have been George II., George III., of American revolu tionary memory; George IV., Wil liam IV. and Queen Victoria, the grand-daughter of George III.—all of the German line of Guelphs. Away back in the mists of centu ries the whole of Northern Europe was occupied by hardy races of pa gans, among whom u r ere the Saxons, distinguished by their size and strength, fair hair and complexion. The country to-day is occupied by their descendants, the Germans, the latter name signifying “a warlike peo ple.” They conquered the Angles (English) in England, and by inter mixture we have the Anglo-Saxon, who in turn were conquered by the Normans,and hence a French element was added to qur language. The god Wdden (M’e still have Wo den’s day, Wednesday) had a favorite white or light gray horse, ereated by magic art, upon which lie bestowed the power of assisting and protecting warriors. He was the god of these pagan Saxons* This animal shared in the worship given Woden. In the groves of oaks, the first temples, the pagan priests reared white steeds which none were permitted to mount, and which being solemnly dedicated to Woden, were believed to be gifted by him with the power of foretelling events by certain signs and motions. They were consulted before going into battle, and occasionally one was sacrificed to W r oden, horse, and the bloody head elevated on a pole and borne aloft in the van of the Saxon army. The Saxons bore the head of a wooden horse on a pole as an ensign when lighting Charle magne, and to this day the standard of the little Kingdom of Saxony is a white horse painted on a black ground. One thousand years ago, Bruno,the son of a Saxon King, founded a city in Saxony, which he called after himself, Brunonis Vicus, now Bruns wick. He retained as his standard the white horse of Saxony. Three centuries later, the reigning prince of Brunswick was Henry Guelph, the ancestor of the present sovereigns of Britain, a leader in the crusades, who by his courage and strength acquired the soubriquet of “Henry the Lion.” He declared himself independent of the great Emperor, Frederick Barba- rossa, and as a token of defiance set up a great stone lion in Brunswick and had the same symbol placed upon his standard—two lions supporting a shield beneath the white horse. So when in the beginning of the eight eenth century one of the House of Hanover or Brunswick uas made King of Great Britain, he quartered these symbols, the origin of which are thus briefly traced on the royal arms of that mighty realm. We have the dragon also in the English emblems. St. George, the patron saint of the island of the An gles (English) overcame him, and St. George to this day M’ith his inspir ation makes England the grandest empire, and Great Britain the freeest and most prosperous realm of earth. Sentiment and pride have made other wise insignificant isles the mistresses of the sea and the owners of an em pire on which the sun never sets, whose drum beat greets the rising or to his white 8tacl f ^4,hin, mentar J - uemt wlu.

It is presented now to every merchant in the form of how much value do you think it worth to von and what will you subscribe to buy and extend it to Chipley. Demosthenes, the Athenian orator, was once asked what was the secret of oratory. He answered, “action! action! aetion!” This applies equally to the enterprises of life as well as to eloquence, Ener gy, push and vim ought to succeed in raising the $40 ,000 necessary to pur chase the road and build it further. Columbus, with proper endeavor, can easily do this, and if she consults her interest and future she will cer tainly do so. Let energy character ize the committee. Let them see merchants and all in prosperous times, when monied men are in a good humor. See all. Let them give when they can and will, and the ad venture will soon be assured as a tri umphant success or a disastrous fail ure. In this, as in every other enter prise, the most vigorous and persist ent of perseverance is required to rouse people from their lethargy. Citizens are loth to invest M’here there are not immediate gains. There is every reason to believe that in this undertaking investors M ill secure re muneration in the present and im mense advantages in the future, both to themselves, their city, and the en hancement of every interest. Energy will M'in, and it has been demonstra ted that nothing is so successful as suc cess. Speak for it, act for it, labor for it and subscribe money for it. Do not wait for others to commence ope rations, nor ascertain what others may or will do. Act for yourself and slioM" that business is intended. The line will bring thousands of bales of cotton to Columbus, if our own peo ple hold its stock. Already its re ceipts surpass those of last year, show ing its growing importance.

In the vicissitudes of fortune, M’hich are the law in Ameriea, it frequently happens that the possessors of ample means see their M’ealth melt aM’ay by causes M’hich they are powerless to prevent. These persons, having con tributed their share to a generous sys tem of public education, have a right to expect and even demand for their children the same privileges they have aided in giving to others. The taxes they have annually paid have been the premiums on a mutual insu rance educational fund, and it is nei ther right nor just that their children should be deprived of the benefits arising therefrom. As to the charac ter of these benefits there can be no question; they were never intended to be confined in a niggarttly spirit to the mere rudiments, but were ex- ] jected to give to the youth of the city i:he opportunity of obtaining as liberal an education parents have had and which nmr been paid for in advance. The poor are the progenitors of the rich, and, since when wealth has been accumulated the time for gain ing education has generally passed aw^ay, the interests of the community demand that its future rich men shall be offered the opportunity for gaining liberal instruction M’hife still con tending with their poverty, so that when property has been amassed the oM’ners thereof shall ndt constitute a class of ignorant rifcft men, the exis tence of which must ever be an ob- ' seethe advance- Have -tfiose who Mould grudgingly give nothing but rudimentary in structions in the nublfc schools ever considered that the -interests which grant the right to give any education whatsoever necessarily- imply the right to give, the best that can be found ? Children are "the property of the ‘State’; they are the future State itself. If they grow up ignorant and vicious the State takes cognizance of the fact and deprives them of liberty or life. The' power to pnnish the vices born of ignorance implies not only the power to prevent these vices by edu6atioii, but also to make that education the very best. The State has . the right to train the talents of her children to her use, just as she has the right to train sailors and soldiers-; and the free State or people Mhieh neglects to increase the value of the children by failing to offer toall that can accept it, not only the most liberal educa tion, but also an education absolutely free from the faintest trace of a char itable or eleemosynary character, fails to do its duty and will Inevitably be compelled to lace the results of that failure. A sufficiently complete educational system is now established in the pub lic schools and colleges of the city o" Nbw York, and it is to be hoped th the day may never, cobra..when i shall be overturned to gratify per sonal prejudice or private interest.— JV.

He (Conkling) took it as se rious, anil lias since strutted more than usual. Well, tlie resemblance is great. As striking as Hyperion to a Satyr, Thersites to Hercules, mud to marble, a dung bill to a diamond, a singed cat to a Bengal tiger, aM’hin- ing puppy to a roaring lion. Shade of the mighty Davis, forgive tlie al most profanation of that jocose satire. MVMDEM, ARSON.

From the Hew Orlenns Democrat.] Sneak-Thief Kellogg, we take occa sion to say, does not represent the State of Louisiana in the Senate; he never M’as elected to that body, and the people of the State—the people of every neighborhood of the State—are justly indignant at the indecent be havior of the Republicans in seating him. The representatives of this State in Congress, we have no ddubt, refuse to recognize Kellogg as a Sena tor from their State, as M’e are very- certain that he vtfkiever be received, countenanced or treated as such by the people. Sneak-Thief Kellogg, as he is called all over Louisiana, mth, we assume, be unceremoniously kicked out of the Senate the moment the Democrats get control of that liody. •U* Silver. Toledo, Dec. 22.—A large meeting adopted a resolution, urging Senators and Representatives to support a bill remonetizing silver, with full and unlimited coinage. Resolved, That the honor and credit of the nation are better pro tected by a due regard for the welfare and prosperity of those upon whom the discharge of its obligations rests' than by undue concessions in favor of holders of such obligations. A resolution was also passed con demnatory of the resumption act; and demanding Us Immediate repeal. pany Mr. Hayeklnki party view is neither on the Republican side nor on this line. He is on the other side of tlie line so far as the practical results of his Administration are concerned. It is absurd to suppose that there can be any harmony between him and the Republican party as long as lie pursues his present course. The peo- E le know whether he has carried out is pledges as the President elected by the Republican party. Being asked about the Southern ilicy, Senator Blaine said that on is subject there was of course a dif ference of opinion, but the difference was very slight, and it M’as safe to assume that there was no great di vision of sentimeut in the party on the matter. “Many honest Republi cans,” said the Senator, “believe that the Southern people are as loyal to the Union as M’e are in the North, but of this there is a serious doubt. The Southern people, it is true, are, according to all appearances, peace fully inclined and snow a disposition to maintain the supremacy of the National Government, but men w’ho were in the rebel army cannot so readily give up their faith, and their professions, in my opinion, are only skin deep. The Southerners are laying low until they get on top. They lead the Democracy and should their party get into power in 1880, will show a hand that will sur- that class of Republicans who hove that reconciliation has been complete. The Southern people are not in feet reconciled. They are play ing policy and their purpose is to get possession of the Government and rule it as they did before the M r ar, and then all the established rules of the war and reconstruction M-ould lie set aside.

The conviction which has been growing for several days now almost amounts to certainty that the Dutch steamer Friesland, from Java to Rot terdam, has been lost, M’ith all hands, off Cape Finistere. She passed Gi braltar on December 5th. A M’reck has been sighted, M’hich there is but little doubt came from the Friesland. The crew of the Friesland numbered about fifty. She had no passengers. At first it M’as reported that there were 362 passengers, but these were Malay pilgrims and were landed at Jeddah.

No understanding has been reached so far, as Russia M’ishes neutrality to extend to the sea, M’hilst England and Turkey seem only in clined to let it reach Sulina. SOME STUFF ABOUT GREECE, The Times' correspondent at Ath ens is assured that many Cretan chiefs, dissatisfied M’ith the cautious policy of Greece, have adopted as a programme, freedom under the pro tection of fengland.

London, December 22.—The Sat urday Review thinks it probable the Commons may be asked to make an extraordinary grant for military and naval purposes—a meeting of Par liament in some respect unfortunate, though it M’ill probably admit of jus- i tification. | The'Spectator believes the real mean ing of stimmmons of Parliament is Lord Beaconfield’s desires to encour age the Turks to continue the strug gle, M’ith the hope of ultimate British, assistance, and that the Turks M’ill so interpret it. Tlie Spectator thinks England, M’lien it comes to the point, M’ill decline to fight for the Turks, although he will at last be com pelled to purchase peace by with drawing to their natural liome in Asia. 1,000 CEASED WORK.

St. Louis, December 18.—Meagre accounts of a disastrous fire and rob ber}’ at Salisbury, Chariton county, Missouri, reached here a day or two ago, but not much Mas thought of it. Later ad vices showthat it M’as a much more serious affair than at first sup- jiosed. It appears that a gang of ne groes robbed the store of A. C. Gaines, last Tuesday night, and then fired the building*to hide the evidence of their crime. Six buildings M'ere burned, and a large amount of prop erty destroyed upon Mhieh there M’as no insurance. After the fire M r as subdued, four negroes—two men and two women—M’ere arrested for the robbery. An attempt Mas made to lynch the prisoners, but M’as prevented by the officers, and the ne groes M’ere taken to Keytesville and lodged in jail. Next day a great crowd of Salisbury people M'ent to Keytesville for the avoM’ed purpose of hanging the prisoners, but the sheriff hearing of their designs, re moved them to a place of safety. On Thursday they M ere brought back to Keytesville, and another attempt to lynch them was made, but failed. Through the vigilance of the officers and law abiding citizens, other ar rests M’ere made, and a large amount of the stolen property recovered, Among those last arrested was Lige Dougherty, M’ho, after being bad ly choked, acknoM’ledged that he M’as one of the leaders of the gang.
