Volume XLIV.-No. 46 The Weekly Enquirer. JOHN H. MARTIN Editor. OOLUlQMNh THURSDAY NOVEMBER 7,1872. $2.8#. LOOT! The hopes of the friend# of eonstitu- tionnl government and a Union of equality and fraternity are again cruelly disap pointed. Grant has paaaad through the foruis or a re-election, and Radicalism has swept the entire North by majorities indicating little if any abnlement of the pnssious that have for so long a time trampled down the Conatitntkm and the rights of the Sontbern Htataa and people. It is with dismay that wa contemplate the fa !t that this Radical triumph haa been achieved by the nse of means that oan be resorted to as long as they hold the reins of government, and the repetition of which will always give the party in power great odds in a contest with eveu a large majority of the people. It is plain that nothing but some great political convul sion, which shall disrupt the existing party organizations and form new combinations upon now issues, can break the rule of Radicalism. As regards the Southern States, we are not yet assured that even they have given a majority of their Electoral volos for Greeley uiul Brown, but the indications arc that they have. If so, the suoceas of the defeated ticket on this part of tho lino is an ovent that strongly attests the sincere desire of our people to “forgive and forgot" old auimosities and to restore tho government to constitutional paths and tho country to political peace and sta bility. Whether it be so aecepted by the victorious paity or not, it oertainly ought, and wo believe that it will atlaeh tho Lib eral lenders of tho North and their follow ers to ns “with hooka of ateel." They, nud those'bf our seetiou who met them in a kindred spirit, have failed iu an un selfish and patriotic allianoe, but ila oh}net gilds it with true glory* eveu in defeat. **Tli«*r«* limy l* nlui-j in tin* might .1 A liibama. We only think it necessary to say this luorniug that Grant is beyond doubt re- elected 1‘resident of the United States— so-called. Wo are uuder the impression that Alabama has elected the Democratic and Liborul Stato nud National tickets, ond without doubt the Democrata have a majority, on joint ballot, in tha Legis lature and a majority of the Congress men. Ibis insures another Democratic and Conservative United Btatea Senator iu place of Mr. Geo. E. Spencer. [Montgomery Advertiser, Oth. ftfursMlnbsHM. Our dispatches of yesterday afternoon wero received at a late hour and by in stallments, cutting in two parta a signifi cant remark of the New York 7'ribune (or Times), which, when put together, roads as follows : “The Liberal Repub lican strength in North Carolina, Ver mont and Muine was nearly equalised by Democrats who 'wouldn't eat crow,' when they could got five to twenty dollars for not eating it." The New York Congressional delega tion is reported to bo divided thus : Re publican* 23, Democrat# 10. In tha present Congross there are 1G Republi cans and 1 ft Democrat#. lien to 4'atek the Jt egret*. Wo havo in our possession one of the printed “Republican tickets" for Kassel) county, Ala. It is headed by a picture representing n negro at work on bis “forty acres," with his cabin near by and “dat mulo" supposed to be behind it, and uudornuath tho words “Save the Home stead" ! Then follow the names of the Grant Presidential Electors and Radio#) candidates for the State and county. It waa evidently gotten up to assure tho ne groes that by voting for Grant, Jto., they would at last secure the long-promised mule and forty acres. And no doubt it bod the desired effect. The Macon Teleynrph report# that on Monday Jason Burr, a young man in the saloon of Mr. Spinner, shot a negro named Elbert Williams, slightly wound ing him ; that when a policeman went to arrest Burr therefor, Spinner made resis tance ; that the policeman, with a rein forcement, went back to arreat Spinner, but the latter met them with a brace of doublo barrelled shot guna and refused to he arrosted, whereupon the policemen served on him a Mibprnna to appear be fore to Mayor, and retired. The Columbia 1’lueuu says: “We are authorized to state that General F. J. Mohoh. jr., (Governor elect) oppoaaa the assessment and collection of the t#y to pay tho interest on what ia known aa the doubtful I muds—amounting to about $3,000,000— but is earnestly in favor of the payment of the interest on the bonds legitimatized by the Tax Payers’ Conven tion—amounting to about $10,000,000. This is reform iu the right direction." It will bo remembered that the “Tax- Payers' Convention" was an —enililsge of tho Conservatives of the State—it wee a movement for the arrest of the profli gate and dishonest course panned by the Radical State Government in squandering the public money aud greatly increasing the public indebtedness. It appears now that the Rudical Governor elect is com pelled to acknowledge the oorreotuesa and tho ncceo>ity of tLe movement, which implies the rascality of his political asso ciates. Tho Radi id Governor of South Caro lina propones to do just shut the Demo cratic Governor of Georgia haa dooe, and has boon roundly abused in Radical cir cles for doing —acknowledge the binding foroe of debts regularly and honestly in curred, but not of those irregularly im posed and used for individual gnto. Moke Arrests.—Eight more periles wero arrested yesterday for complicity in the Macon riots, and the warrants am not all served yet. A very little time wRl serve to show whose tarn c—# neat. Warrants are now flying about as pupni# cnously as the blotting pad of Life Inane- ance companies. It will aoon ho theft At out of the fashion Ml to bn 1 -Mown ltL % UK Licit. Karrli Net Kill*. People who knew the parties, both in this city and Rnnaell oonnty, Ala., were lunch shocked on Sunday by reports that Lieut. Arch. Burch, of Russell, had bean killed by Dr. J. C. Cook. It is quite a relief to hear, as we do this morning, that the reports in circulation mush exagger ated the affair, and that Lieut. Burch was not killed, but only slightly wounded. As the affair is not near so serious as tbs first aooounte represented, we refrain from stating the particulars of the difficulty that have reached ns. Dead.—Mr. J. M. Clay, well known in this vicinity, died at hia residence in Gi rard on Sunday, after a brief illness. Whatever may have lieen his foibles, Jim bad a warm place iu his heart for the un fortunate, aud in his day performed many good acta. He leaves many friends, who will sincerely regret his death. We invite special atteution to the corn- mnuiention in relation to our late Fair, and to the judicious suggestions made by the writer. He is a gentleman much in terested in agricntnral and horticultural improvement, aud whose excellent taste and culture entitle his views to favorable consideration. We hope to hear from him again on this subject. The libel, for which Mrs. Woodhnll and others connected with her paper have beon Arrested, consisted iu tbe publica tion of an article charging Rev. Henry Ward Beecher with adultery with the wife of another minister. Tho Enfanla News makes mention of arrangements for the erection of first- class Iron Works iu its city, by n company of which Mr. J. C. Porter of Columbus is a member. A bslf interest iu tho Macon Daily Enterprise, aud either tbe whole or a half iutereet iu the LaGrange Reporter, are offored for sale. They are both good nud prosperous papers, and we have no doubt that tueu who understand the business can make mouey by investing in either. Osr Keel Fair—A Mannlloi fe Plaster*. Editin' Enquirer Our latn Fair was in some respects a success, ir others it was a failure. The friends of agricul ture wore, doubtloNH, mortified at tho meagro display a bich was mode in that department, and I desire to tuako a sug gestion which, I believe, will work a great improvement iu that respect at our next exhibition. Instead of offering fifty insignificant premiums for as inauy specimens of agri cultural productions, would it not bo bet ter to consolidate them iuto one grand premium which would tuako a prize wor thy of everybody's competition ? Lot the Association offer at the next Fair a prize of Five Hundred Dollar* for the finest display of agricultural produets, aud we should have scores of competitors with wag on loads of specimens which would fill the Agricultural Hall to overfiowiog, and make an exhibition at onco attractive to spectators and creditable to our indus try. My opinion is if tbis polioy is adopted, we should hear no more oom- plaint of tho overshadowing importance which is given to the “Speed Ring," and we should redeem the Fair from the charge that it is being perverted to a ra- c ag association. Of course the crowd is attracted to tbo trotliug match when there is nothing else of interest on the ground. Make the agricultural depart ment interesting, and we should see crowds gsthered about it, juat as they now flock to the trotting course. I will be one of ten to make np a purse of Five Hundred Dollars for this pur pose, and you are authorized to head a list with my subscription if the sugges tion meets with favor. What say yon brother planters? Let ns go to work at once to make tbe next Fair the grandest exhibition of agricultu ral industry evor witnessed in the South. Send np yonr names at once and lot us offer the prize immediately, that all hands may commence their preparations. A Flam Kit. Opbmka Fa iu.—The East Alabama Agricultural Association will commence its Sixth Annuul Fair at Opelika next Tneeday, November 12th, aud oontiuue fl vo days. There are fewer objections to fairs as held at Opelika than any place wo know of. jlaving no extended race track, less prominence is given to “horse- ology", and more to tbe development of the agricultural, mechauical and domestic interests of the adjsceut country. The pdople of East Alabama oame out in graat numbers to our late Fair, and contributed not a little to Its success and importance. Let Columbns reciprocato by sending her manufactured products, mechanical in ventions, Ac., sn«l let ber people uttend one or more days, and thus help and en courage her East Alabama neighbors.

Berlin Letter to tho New York Nation.] The Emperor Alexander has been an enemy of Fruuco ever since his visit to Paris, during tho reign of Napoleon III. His life bnd been threatened in the Bois de Boulogne by a Polo; aud his assassin bad simply been ooudemned by a French jury to penal servitude. When be visi ted the ttamte Cliapello and the Palais de Justice, young barristers insulted him with cries of “ Vive la Cologne." He re turned to Russia disgusted with Franco and the Imperial Court. The disaster of Sedan ho bailed with joy. He waa shoot ing with some friends when he received the news of it, iu n small estatu where ho likes to livo like a private geutleiuau. The evening of that day be drauk tho health of bis nude, the King of Prussia, broke his glass, and told his guests to do likewise. All the pieces of glass were collected and romdted into the form of a cup, on which is engraved the word “Sedan," and which is now on tho chim ney of his bedroom. What the fnnirreM of Emperor* Signified. A prominent member of tho Gormnn Federal Parliament, in a recent note to an Atuericau correspondent says: “I aiu uot able, uml no more is anyone belonging to tho public, to say ought about the coucluvo of Emperors. Here is uiy theory. I give it for what it is worth. Bismarck can preserve the Austrian Em pire from disruption if ho chooses; he visited its Emperor in order to obtniu his co-operation against tho Jesuits. Russia cau destroy Austria ; Emperor Alexander joined the others in order to ohtnin from Emperor Francis Joseph the assurance that ho would not create Galicia iuto a kingdom of Poland. Thus Germany nnd Russia, offering life, demanded each a boon of considerable but uot of vital im portance. Whether anything was obtain ed 1 cannot tell, uo more than I ran prove my theory to be correct. But everything leads me to bclievo that France wus nev er ©von spoken of. It would have been a blunder, in my opiuion, to create so grand a spectacle for the purpose of proving to the world whut is a truism, viz.: that Frauce has uo allies this year. “The Gruud Duke of Brnlen, whose ve racity is beyond all doubt, assured a friend of urine. ou the ground of most iutiumto pcrsonul know ledge, that peace must now lie considered as established beyond the possibility of u rupture uml for u long while." This, wo understand from the bent au thority, is the belief also of leading com mercial Europcuu bankers most likely to bo accurately informed on such a subject. Gov. Smith’s Administration.—Never since Leo's .surrender has there beeu such profound peace aud security us exists to day among the population of Georgia.— This is to bo attributed iu a great meas ure to tho law-abiding character of our people, but more especially to the wise aud firm rule of Gov. Smith's administra tion. When Gov. Smith was nominated, although he had gained a high aud solid reputatinu as one of tho ablest lawyers iu (he State, yet he was comparatively un known as a politician. Elooled to tho House of Representatives, ho at onoo took a position which euused his almost unanimous elect ion as Speaker, llis high oduiinialralivc capacity whilo occupying this position, caused all eyes to be turned to him as the proper man to fill tho chair of State when Bullock fled the couutry. Tho manner iu which be boldly assumed the responsibilities of the situation du ring tho nnexpired term of Bullock, tend ed still further to inspire confidence and respect, and when tbo Convention met, composed of the best men from all parts of the Htato, his renouiiuation was the most spontaneous aud hearty outburst of popular feeling that had been experien ced in many years. The enemies who had been falteniug on our misfortunes, felt that their time was drawing to a close, and our people realized that “Ber tram's right aud Bertram's might" would soon meet on Ellougowau height," aud all hearts rejoiced. His election was almost unanimous. No governtneut since tbe colonial days has ever received such an astounding ma jority. His subsequent career has car ried uo disappointment. Plain aud unos tentatious, he directs his entire time and energies to the discharge of his executive duties, neither unjust to his enemies nor K rtial to his friends. If ever Georgia s hail a Governor free from all Heui- blanoe of humbug, Gov. Smith is the man, and we sincerely trust that his fu ture conduot of the affairs of Georgia will be as wise and just as it has been in the past.—Atlanta herald. Thk Viva Voce System op Election.— The frauds of false registration, repeat ing, personation, stuffing, etc., by which the Pennsylvania election was carried, have aroused the attention of politicians to the necessity of a new guard to secure a fair election. Many who have hereto, fore steadily opposed tbo vira voce system of voting now say that it is the ouly ef fectual security against fraud. Judge Black, who has been chosen a member of the l'onnsylvania Constitutional Conven tion, declared in n recent conversation that one of its first duties will be to adopt new securities for the purity and fairness of tho elections. He thinks that many of tho Republicans sleeted to tbe Con vention sin desirous of correcting tbe frauds which all now confess were perpo- trsted et the late election, but doubts whether they will co operate with the Democrat* ns to tbo details of legislation necessary to secure a reform, lie says that a fair election will instantly show that Pennsylvania is a Democratic Htato. - Goon News fox the North and South Railroad — We have to make tbe gratify ing announcement that W.

A DEMONSTRATION IN SIR FAVOR IN NA8H- YILLK— CHARACTERISTIC TENNESSEE ELEC TION SCENES. It is given up all round that tbe John- son demonstration last uight was the big gest thing in the way of a political moot ing ever seen in tho State. The old gray- hairod veterans who are always talking about Clay aud Polk aud tho high old timoa of “’40--*44" gracefully yield the palm to Saturday night, October 2(1, 1872. Nothing in tho long ago came up to this great demonstration lust night. Tho procession formed on the public square and moved through the principal streets. It extended a distance of two miles. Iu it wero several hundred mount ed men in uniform (white osps and black capes lubollod “Johnson voters"), six or seven bauds ©f music, wagons represent ing nil the industries of tho city, fifteen or twenty “Johnson Clubs," from city and oountry, hundreds if not thousands of torch-lights, a little of everything ou wheels, including steam engines, carpen ter shops, with men at work; butcher stalls, with butchers cutting meat; print ing offices, throwing out documents as the procession moved ; looms, with wouv- ors at work; tiuuers makiug tin were, blacksmiths at the forge, and, in short, a little of everything that could by Any pos sibility he got ou wheels aud pulled along. I uovur saw anything that oame np to it, nnd at this writing havo not scon anybody who says (hat bo or she evor saw any thing that oame np to it either. SPECIAL FEATURES. Tho railroad men, who are almost a uuit for •It’kusou, hud out a wagou load of locomotive head-lights, casting their lurid glaro in every direction. Tho tin- tiers had a coffee-pot on wheels, about eight feet high, with a man ou top play ing a fiddle, and upon it w*us painted, “A. J.’s ballot-box for Coffeo County"— Cheat ham’* home. A moving platform, drawn by four horses, carried a dancing party. A delegation from the Hewauee Klines curried their shovels, picks and lamps. The tanners tanned hides ah tho I iroc. ssion moved along. Tho cliuir-iua- ;ers made chairs, and tlio furuiturc-mn- kers made furniture. A lungon load of tailors attracted particular attention from the fact that A. J. hinnolf is a tailor. “OLD ANDY.” To havo Johnson hero the Central Club sent n special train for him toUuionCity, West Tennessee, whore ho spoke yester day. Tho track was cleared for him, and ho came ouo hundred and sixty miles in less than six hours, arriving here about dark. He was received with tremendous enthusiasm, placed in an open carriage drawn by six white chargers, aud put at the head of tho fiery procession. There were at lonst THIRTY THOUSAND PEOPLE upon tho streets. Tho whole city was iu an uproar, ('unuons boomed, rockets shot up into the air, bands played, Indies waved their liundkorehiefs, men idioered, and great masses of pnople rolled through tho strocts liko tho waves of the aea. On tho Chattuuooga road alone enmo nineteen special oimches, loaded to suffocation, and hundreds left for want of transportation. People flocked in from the couutry by tho thousand, in wagous, on foot, aud overy way possible. They were not all Johnson men, to be sure, but his frieuds largely predominated. JOHNSON SPEAKN. Johnson spoke about twonty minutes. Ho has been speaking every day aud uight for the past week iu West Tennessee, aud is about used up. To allow tho spirit in which his short address was received, 1 append a short extraot as prepared for the morning papers: Last night at 10 o'clock I was upon the stand addressing my couutrymcn ; at 1 o'clock to-day I was addressing them, and you must know I m^st ho woariod, aud I give place for others to address you on tbo present occasion. [Cries of “Go on, go on!" and a general uproar.] You must, my oouutrymeu, excuse me. [Cries of “No, wo wou’t!" and “Go on, johu- sou!" and “Andy, go on !"] I kuow you want me to do the best I can, but what can I say before you to muko you more determined iu course thuu you are ? Now I know yon will do your duty. | A voice, “Aye, that we will!’’ foliowod by a chorus of voices, “Yes, wo will!’J I know tliAt every freeman here will do his dutv iu the approaching election. [A voico, “You bet well send you to Washington!"] And you must permit me to do miue iu fight, iug through the canvass with all tho vigor of which I may be capable. [Cries of “Wo will! wo will!"] Then, mv coun trymen, iu retiring from the stand, let me bid you good night here to resume my duties in tho cauvoss elsewhere, aud in bidding you good night let me tender you tbe best wishes of my heart for your prosperity. [Here Mr. Johnsou's voice was completely drowned by vociferous shouts of “Go ou! speak it out! give us some more!" and profound applause ] IB llog Crop. The last issue of the Cincinnati Price Current remarks as follows upon the prospects of ^he bog orop: “The great cornUulds of the Western corn producing Hiatus have probably nev er before shown so abundant a crop in tho aggregate—for tho crop may now be considered as assured beyoud any contin gency of weather. Nor is the old stock in short supply^ Tbo low prices, which naturally result from such general sur plus, will induce the feeding of stock and making of meat# ou an enlarged scale, aud it ia already evident that farmers are beginning the feeding of their hogs at au earlier day than has been usual, aud we may look for heavier average iu weight, as well as uo falling off in number. Au Opinion prevails that bog* must be paoked below $4, to insure a moderate profit to tbe packer aud dealer. Tbere appears to be a general unwillingness among dealers to make contracts for the products, deem ing that the exceedingly large corn crop and an abundance of hogs offer no in ducement to take bold at present prices. It is understood that about 1ft,000 to 1C,- 000 boxes of meals have been contracted for in the West for French and German merchants,.of wluoh bt. Louie haa about 8000, Chicago about DftOO, aud tho bal ance divided among other points." , Usash jPaEDMUBD. —Home of the West ern papers prtdiet a financial tight on this revelation team Washington: “Acting Heoretery Richardson says to- day that the. use ..of the four millions greenback reserve was caused chiefly by tha rapid redemption of .three por cunts certificate# during tha last law months of which there has. been called in about forty millions, leaving only about five iniUtuua yet outstanding.

It is well known that the province of Alsaco, with Lorraine, has been the seat of the most extensive cotton and woolen manu factories in France, sad tha drift of tlio population from tbeaee tow at ^ the United Btatea may prove of the 'utmost impor tance to onr textile rnuunfactliras. In the province of Alsace, two hundred thousand bales of the fineat Louisiana cotton have been consumed taufcnellyt yielding a man ufactured produet valued at one hundred and fifty million dollar#. Tha notion fab- ties of these Alsatian factories are cele brated tbe world over.

The projected canal from Bt. Louis to H.tvauuuh is cominandiug much attention, not only heio, but at ull point* North and West that look to the enterprise as a new channel of communication with the sea and tho world abroad. Savannah, al though tho ocean terminus of the work, bus not beeu alivo to its importance, sim ply because her attention has been bqt little dtroctcd to the anbject. it will loom up soon in its just proportions, and our people will not tail to uiate both the magnitude and the vostncsH of tho interests it is des tined to promoto. Atlanta is alive to it, ln'ing a distributing point to a large por tion of tho State aud needing cheap iron aud coal for her manufactures; why should Ssvauuah not be, possessing like interests, and being in addition, the great point of foreigu shipment for the vast amount of commerce destined to pass over the work? Avery little reflection will opeu her eyes to its claims upon her ullentiun and active co-operation. Make Suvaunah tbo exporting point for the pro- dtioe of the West, and you inaugurate di rect trade aud foreign immigration. But I cannot onlarge at this time on the re sults of the work. Our intelligent Gover nor has maturely considered tbo proposi tion, and so impressed is he by views of its grand results, material nud political, to Georgia and the South, that he has issued a circular inviting all the Governors of the South aud Northwest to convene in couucil at Atlanta on tho P.itli of Novem ber for a comparison of views, and an agreement upon soiue common plun for carrying forward the magnificent schomo. It is also proposed that tho convention, after their adjourment here, shall visit Macou aud Suvaunah in a body, and in person view (he ground aud acquaint themselves with the tempor and opinions of the people of those citios. I feel well assured they will bo reooivod with open arms. A brief outline of tho work may not bo an inappropriate subject lor a letter lit the present time. The project under consideration contemplates a continuous line of water cominuuioulion, natural aud artificial, from St. Louis, in the Statu of Missouri, to Savannah, iu tbo Stato of Georgia. The Mississippi, the Ohio, and tho Tennessee to Gunter's Lauding, in cluding the eaunl around Muscle Shoals, now bring construct cd,foiui tbo upper por tion of the line. Tho company now or ganized in this State, and whoso work is tbo subject matter under immediate con sideration, propose to continno this line South, first by n canal from Guntor's Lauding, to tbe Coohu liver ut Gadsden, in the State of Alabama, thence by said river eighty-seven miles to Rome, thence up the Etowah nnd Littlo river to a point near Roswell, In Gobi* county, where it will cross the Chattahoochee, tlienee via Atlanta to one of the tributaries of the Ocuiulgee—Yellow or South river. The Oomulgeo and Altamnhu will form the remainder uf the lino until a point shall bo ronclied nearest Savannah - say the mouth of the Oohoopee—from which the canal will be continued to that city. The distance from St. Louis to Savan nah by ibis route is about thirteen hun dred miles. Such is the project. For a long time doubts wero expressed as to its feasibility by intelligent und enterpriaing men, but they hove been dispelled by recent prac tical surveys of the most difficult portions of the line by a scientific commission or ganized by the government at Washing ton for that express duty. The official report of tho engineers, copies of which hnve been rooeived here, will be presen ted to Congress at the approaobiug session. It definitely settles the question of prac ticability, aud further, tho utility and profitableness of the work os an invest ment, even at the immense expense ro- qnired for construction. It is estimated that tho portion of the line iu tho Htute of Alabama will coat six millions of dollars, and the portion iu Georgia, so far as Maeon, twenty millions, it is expected that the Federal Government will, undor the River and Harbor act, put the Oemul- gee in a condition for permanent naviga tion beyond that point. Of coarse, it would be impossible to embrace details in a letter like this, which is intended to give simply au outline of the great enterprise. The engineers, in their report, not only indicate the oost and ebaraotor of the work, but they go further and furnish es timates of its business wbon completed, and tho cost of transportation as com pared with otLer routes from St. Lonis to the Atlantic. These are highly fuvorablo to the projected lino, aud, indeed, give it a marked precedence over ull others, now iu operation or in processor construction. Tbo cost from St. Louis to New York via the Erie Gunul, the present great thor oughfare for Western produce—is sot do«n st $11.73 per tun, or about 3ft cents per biisbcl, for corn. Between the two cities by rail, tho cost is about doublo thoso figures. From Bt. Louis to Norfolk via the Ohio aud James river and Kanawha Canal (uow being constructed) tbe cost will be $3.70 per ton. From St. Louin to Savannah, by rail (Freen Line, which is the cheapest), the cost is $13 7*0 per tou, or ftt) cents per bushel, for corn. By the projected canal, the engineers estimate that freight cau be carried be- tweeu tbe same two cities at $1.88 per ton, or less than fiftoeu cents per bosliel, for oorn, which is $G.Hft less than by the Erio route to the Atlantic, and $1.82 less than by the James River and Kanawha Canal. Comment on them figures ia unnecessa ry, they sprak for themselves, and are t>lr*tlal Kraut of the l)«ad—Haw the Chlaeae Try to l«aj a# Treaoare* la Hell—Heathea Exercise*. Though the Ghinese ara addicted to performing their sets of worship in a mechanical manner, and with a monoto nous repetition, and seldom court public opinion, they nevertheless excite sn inter est among Caucasians, and the recurrence of each feaat or holiday affords food for fresh comment. Inquiry into their cus tom*, for instance, brings out pertinent facts, and we learn that some of their barbarisms have actually been inaugura ted among people who pride themselves on their civilization, and affeet to look with disdain upon the heathen. It is a common thing for the Chinese to hire mourners to follow the hearse or express wagon to the oemetery, and tbe charges for such services sre so light that a coui- oportiona, and paratively obscure individual, if not utter- ue and appre- j fy baukrupt, can feel certain that the ° * numerical strength of the tnrn-ont at his funeral will be a source of satisfaction to his relatives at home. A gentleman who lias served many years in the missionary field of China, says of the Chinese that, instead of endeavoring to lay up treas ures iu heaven, they imagine they can lay up trousuroa in hell. The manner of lay ing up treasures of money and of cloth ing in hell for tho use of deceased rela tives, or for one's own future use, is ex peditious aud very cheap. It consist* simply of burning paper prepared iu different ways, according to the object which it is supposed to represent, aud which it is believed to become. Material for making clothiug is represented by pieces of paper of various colors, each piece being some fifteen inches long aud eight or ten iuchos wide. Theso are done np iu parcels, and are believed to become cloth, silk, etc., by or after the action of the fire, owing to the potenoy of tbe charm which is attaohod generally to each parcol. Sometimes the shapes of differ ent kinds of clothing are stamped upon the pieces of paper and afterward burned. These aro believed to become ready-made clothiug. The spirits of the dead ara expectod to manufacture their owu cloth iug out of tho material furnished them ready-made. Money is represented by sqnaro piecos of paper. If this popular notion among the Chinese had any found ation in truth, the uuinber of wealthy Celestials in their spirit world would be immense. Three times during the year tbe dead aro treatod to a grand feast— Uiat is, tho good things are spread about their resting places aud then disposed of by the disconsolate friends and relatives. One of theso feasts traUHpired at Lone Mountain ou Sunday, nnd was a marked success. Forty express wagons were used iu the transportation of hogs (the Celes tials, to use au expressive vulgarism, go tho wholo hog on these occasions), chick ens, rico and liquor to tho cemetery, and more than one hundred carriages wero iu the procession. The firm of Hop, Kee A Co. alouo employed thirty carriages and several wagons. At the cometery they propitiated various evil spirits, scattered their hogs and thiugs around, jabbered a few hours among themselves and then re turned to town.— Akin Francisco JiuUetin. Indian Figure*. 81. Luui* Hopiildicitli.] The Indian tribes have no system of no tation by which to express large numbers, except by comparison, which convey a oonfusod aud general idea. As numerous its the trees iu the forest," “as tho blades of grass, ” or “as tho buffalo on tha plaius," aro very obvions comparisons when an idea of uncounted numbers iH in tended to be convoyed. Tho other day, when “Two Bears" was here, he told Father De Huiot that when he left home his tribe told him to give them, on his return, tho number of the whites and their wigwams which he saw while gone. Two Boars said that when they roached Sioux City they notobed all the people they saw on a stick, and count ed the houses which they saw. But when they got to Chicago tho people were so many that they could not count them, and with the wigwams : so they contented thomselves with counting the streets. At Washington, Philadelphia, New York and Chouteau’s towu (St. Ijouis) they were confounded with the number of whites and houses thoy saw, and gave up all idea of counting them. All they conld do, Two Bears said, was to tell their people that tho whites were as numerous aa the blades grass. Father De Srnet said that tbe surprise of Two Boars reminded him that many years ago he visited tho Crows, and when tho latter heard the “Black Gown" had come they called a council. The occasion of the council being called together was this: One of their chiefs had been sent to Washington to see the Groat Father. On his return he wax asked by his people to give some account of what he saw. His statement of the numbers of tho whites which be said he had seen appeared so improbable to the minds of his countrymen that they re fused to believe him, and gave him the nick-name of “Big Liar." He remained thus under ban until the arrival of Father DoHmet, and, knowing the regard had for tho Black Gowu, he had the council called together iu order to vindicate hiB charac ter for troth and veracity. Tbe aHsem- blod chiefs asked Father DeSmet in re gard to the matter. lie told them that if they would start at sun-rise and ride round in a circle all day till sun-set, and were thou able to count the blade# of grass contained in the circle, they would form some idea of the numbers of the whites. They were astonished and stil! more surprised when Father DeSmet told them that he had seen cities across the sea that would take them from sun rise to sun-set to ride round ou their po nies, and that the hooses on the spaoe thus ridden round were aa thick aa the fingers on their hands. After this simple statement, the Indians no longer doubted Big Liar's" statements, bat were ready to believe anything said about the vaatneaa of the white population. As regards the profitable workings of canals, the Erie, which is the greatest work of ike kind on the ooutineut, may be taken as a test. Despite its immeuse cost—aa U always tbe case with works built by tbe State jnateod of by private corporations—i^ has for many years been a paying institution. Iu 1870, the rejmrt for which year in before me, tbo groan re ceipts wei8, in round numbers, $3,118,- OOH> end tbe profits $3,MW,000!

Our railroad friends may object to the construction of tbo projected canal thro' Georgia, and probably will, for n time at least,' under the belief that it will serious ly interfere with, their business. For fear of being tedious, I will uot diKcuss that point at present, though much is to be said iu opposition tb their view. It is akin to the old apprbhenHiou of the stock breeders, who believed that tho iutrodno- lion of railroad* . would destroy tho demand for horse* and mules, and the insurrection among the needle-wo men, who positively bemotimed the in- ventlon of toe sewing maobineas robbing them of their occupation and the means 'of snbiistenbe.
