«»u the Pacific iiailnuui.—Press Dis
patch.
There is an immense significance in
the above paragraph. A railroad, just
completed by the aid of almost unlim
ited subsidies from Congress, is locked
with snow and ice for weeks, causing
great damage to vast commercial in
terests, and untold physical suffering to
several hundred train, hands and pas
sengers. .Many have frozen to death,
and some have starved. / .
It would seem that the experience of
the whiter might be sufficient to con
vince Congress that a more Southern
road to the Pacific ought to bo built
without delay. It is well known, and
was well known a"', ihe time the North
ern Pacific road was under construc
tion, that the Southern route was much
nearer, cheaper, and also more practi
cable, because through a milder region,
where detention from snow could never
occur; but the public mind of the
North was not at tin t time in a humor
to lend national aid to any great enter
prise of whose bene ts the South would
get any considerable share; and the
road was put through on the upper
route.
As the public iniiul settles into the
conviction that a Southern line must
B«ebuilt, we see Northern railroad com-
ftiiuations reaching out to make such
connections with the great inter-ooe tuic
highway, ns will still draw the trade of
l»oth worlds to the Northern markets.
It would be well for tiro stockholders
In Southern roads to forego, yet a little
Jnngcr, the tempting bait of increased
dividends offered by those gigantic com
panies seeking to control the feeders to
our home markets. It is a grave out
rage that roads, built by the aid of cur
principal cities—as Charleston, Augus
ta and Savannah—and of our princi
pal railroads—as the South Carolina,
Georgia and Central—should he bought
or leased by the great monopolies
stretching toward Baltimore, Philadel
phia and New York, for the purpose
of diverting the trade which naturally
flows to our Southern ports.
There may be no help for this state
•of things, since the channels of com-
•merce are largely controlled and shaped
•by the influence of capital; but we
may wait vet a little while for the de
velopment of the great national neces
sity of a more southern Pacific road.
This road will turn the tide of immi
gration to some extent through our
•borders.
The fact that immigrants have been
ibeguiled into the frosty region along
rthe North Pacific road, and suffered
mntold hardships from the rigors of a
•climate which was declared to be as
■mild ns that of Central Europe—may
very soon turn the tide of immigration
southward, and hasten the development
which the corrupt devices of Northern
rings has sought to retard.
Let once the fertile and salubrious
wilds of the .South l>e fairly open to
the world, and it will soon be found
that the march of Empire goes not

No Fear of the Mongolians.—
The question of Mongolian immigra
tion does not seem likley to become
difficult for many years to come. The
Commissioner of Mining Industry
shows in his recent report that to the
35,933 Chinese assigned to California
in the census of 1860, the census of
1870 adds only 14,377, although ex
traordinary efforts had been made to
induce emigration from the Flowery
Land. In all the Southern States
there are but 868 Chines, and in the
middle and Eastern States but 178.—
In the mining sections we find 1,949
Chinese in Montana, 3,152 in Neva
da, and 3,330, in Oregon. In the
Territories alone their total is 7,075 iu
aggregate population of 44,730—ex
cepting the Indian Territory. It is
evident from these statistics that the
white workingmen of the North and
the Pacific coast nnd the colored la
borers of the South hnvc hut little to
fear from the competition of cheap
Chinese labor. Meantime the “Heath
en Chiuee” at North Adams, Mass.,
brought there a year or more ago to
work at shocmakiug, hare improved
very much, assuming the American
style of dress and habit. Three-fourths
of them ntteud Sunday-school reg

most of them being able to read and

last week, though they suspended
work, and visited their friands. It is
said that fifty more will be brought
from North Adams this spring.

extract the following account from the
Union and American:
The fire commenced in the bindery,
and as the house was closed since 6
o’clock, yesterday evenin'*, its origin is
not known. This was the individual
property of John Loeken, of Philadel
phia, Pennsylvania, and was uninsur
ed, though the building belonged to
the company. The loss in machinery,
etc., to this department, amounts to
over $20,000. There had been an in
surance on this until the present year.
Under the bindery were the press
ror.ins and stereotyping department of
the company, the contents o. which,
together with some small account books,
and the library of Dr. T. O. Summers,
containing some of the most valuable
volumes in the South, were destroyed.
The fire was cheeked wheu it reached
the rear of the book house, on which
there is an insurance oft? 10,000, equally
div.ded between the Audes aud Ten
nessee companies. This building sus
tains no damage. What the loss will
be can not at present be arrived at—
Printing mateaial, thecoinposing room,
etc., with machinery and books, were
burned. Including the above amount
on the building uninjured, the com
pany had 850,000 insurance on the
stock and buildings destroyed. This
amount will not approximate the value
of the buildings and stock.

An Editor in the Field.—We
learn from the Macon Tetryruph, that
Colonel C. W. Styles, of the Albany
News, has been nominated as the
Democratic candidate for the State
Senate from the Tenth district, to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation
of F. O. Welch, of Michigan. The
district has a large negro majority, but
as the Georgia negroes, as r. general
rule, are disgusted with voting, the
Colonel may win the race.
The heart of the patriot and Chris
tian is made sad by the oft-recurring
announcement of the death of one of
those grand old gentlemen whose lives
aud character so briliautly illumined
Georgia’s history during the first half
ofthc present century. Perhaps no peri
od of the world’s history has been so
marked iu the production of great and
good men, and no locality so tavore.1
as this good old commonwealth of ours.
These Georgia gentlemen of the “ old
en time” are passing away; within a
short period we have chronicled the
death of our great Chief Justice
Lumpkin, whose big heart and bound
less benevolence made his name a house
hold word throughout the State; follow
ing close after, fell suddenly in New
York, Georgia’s favorite son, Cobb,
the patriot, the statesman and the
jurist; and then was announced the,
death of the eloquent and erudite Ncs-
bit—he whose silvery-tongued elo
quence had charmed Senates and held
spell bound the stern majesty ofcourts-
wlioso pure life and Christian charac
ter won the love and admiration of all
our people ; and now we, in pain and
sorrow, add to this honored but mourn
ful list the unme of Col. John Bill-
ui*s, who died suddenly, at his resi
dence in Athens, on the 13th iust.
Col. Billups was a true type of that
class, now fast passing away, whom we
foudly style “ gentlemen of the oldeu
time”—gentlemen of courtly manners,
fine accomplishments, stern integrity,
pure patriotism, and the very soul of
honor. In addition, CoL B. was a man
of marked ability and learning, and
was often called by his fellow-citizens
to offices of high trust and honor. He
represented his county, Clark, in the
Legislature, aud was made at ono time
President of the State Senate; and al
though it was during a period of high
political feeling, never an unkind word
or thought was spoken or entertained
against him by any of the members of
the opposite party. All acknowledged
his ability and impartiality, and hon
ored him for his firm but affable and
polite rule.
If there was any one virtue which
predominated iu the character of this
most worthy gentleman, it was his love
of truth anil justice, tempered with a
charity as wide as the weakness and
follies of human nature. He was in
capable of entertaining an nnjust or an
unworthy thought. In all his prolong
ed and varied dealings with his fellow
men he acted upon the theory that
native but to accuse the murderer and
his accomplice of murder in the first
degree.
The jury retired and after a brief
absence of ten minutes returned to
their seats. Great excitement prevail
ed throughout the court room. The
murderer ami his beautiful accomplice
sat pale and trembling in the dock.—
Her face turned snow white during the
moments preceding the reading of the
verdict. The terrible word “ guilty”
being uttered, the young woman sobbed
aloud; but her companion hung his
head sulkily. '
His Lordship committed them to the
gallows, to be hanged on Friday, the
2d day of February, in the north-east
yard of the court house of St. John’s.
Last night I visited the condemned in
their cells. The woman refused to re
tire, aud walked too and fro in her cell,
with her face buried in her handker
chief. When spoken to she rarely an
swered. Her profuse raven hair fell
disshevelled over her magnificent shoul
ders She wore a aeat black dress, a
narrow white collar and a plain brooch.
Gehan sat upon the j*allet in his cell
with an air of nonchalence, smoking a
pipe and talking freely with the warden.
On being questioned concerning his
chances of being reprieved, be replied
in a surly mauner, and all he said to
me was, “ I’ll give no one any satisfac
tion about it; it’s all over now and
they did their best.” At midnight lie
retired; but first inquired alter Johan-
nftli, bis accomplice, and begged that
some one would tell her that he had
asked for her, and that he hoped she
would die “ game” beside him. Here
the priest, who had arrived a little be
fore twelve o’clock, interposed and told
Gehan that he wished to communicate
with him. Gehan submissively con
seiited to receive the advice of his spir
itual counsel, after which he retired
for the night. At five o’clock he was
aroused from his fitful sleep and re-
commeuded to prepare himself for the
last offices of the church of which he
declared himself to be a member. He
then ate some mutton chops, toast and
coffee with great relish, alter which lie
said that he felt “plucky.”
But the more worthy object of hu
man sympathy in this case was the frail
but lovely creature who sat wearied yet
sleepless upon the miserable pallet with
in her last abode on earth. Her tears
had steadily fallen during the night,
but when the priest announced himself
to her she cried aloud for many mo
ments before speaking to him. At
length she succeeded iu calmiug down
her grief, but only to hear from her the
detractive and plaintive appeal: “ Oh,
Father! for the love of sweet Jesus
save me! save me!” But it is the
policy of religion to ofier a hope of re
prieve to men under sentence of death
for murder. The priest then led her
thoughts away from earth. She slow
ly grew resigned to her fate.
At 6.30 o’clock a company of |>olice-
ruen marched into the yard, and ujion
hearing them the doomed woman shud
dered involuntarily, and had new re
course to tears. On leaving her cell
at the request of the sheriff, she drew
back and sobbed hysterically. Being
quietly pressed to move on, she ad
vanced a step and again shrunk from
the terrible journey. At length it was
found necessary to employ violence in
removing her from the cell; but at the
request of the assisting clergyman she
was allowed to remain quiet for a few
minutes until he found means to per
suade her to obey the sentence of the
law. The priest finalhrsucceeded, and
takiDg^ber by the hawrhe led her out
in the passage way, where her dress
was looped, her arms pinioned and the
fatal noose adjusted. Iu-the meantime
Gehan, dressed in a suit of black, had
been fitted out for his leap into death,
and he stood beside his bcautful ac
complice,
“ Poor Johannah,"said Gehan aloud,
but the condemned woman did not even
raise her eyes toward him. • She hung
down her head meekly atid seemed ful
ly to realize her shame. But her tears
had all dried up and sobs hushed;
nothing save an occasional sigh was
left of the grief and distraction of her
last night upon earth.
“ Are you ready?” asked the sheriff,
and Gehan answered promptly, “ Yes,
sir.”
Gehan then received the black cap,
as did also the unfortunate Johannah.
Geban, accompanied by a clergyman
and two deputy sheriffs, led the way to
the cortile of the court house. A:i-
vesterdny morning, as soon
as the loss was discovered, the Sheriff"
being absent, his Deputy, Mr. Alex.
McMilan, summoned a posse of men
ami started in pursuit. At n point
about three mil -s from the town they
came lip with the gang, but, being too
weak to eficet their capture, a mes
senger was sent Lick for reinforcements.
A large number - f men immediately
volunteered, and proceeded at once to
the scene, but the robbers hail effected
their retreat, carrying off with them
the money, but leaving the safe and a
portion of the papers behind. These,
with the horse and dray, were taken
back to the town, when it was discov
ered that the safe had been forced open
with sledge-hammers and cold chisels,
with which the gang lmd provided
themselves at Mr. Newberry’s estab
lishment.
The loss is very heavy nnd consists
of §22,000 in money, taken from Mr.
McLeod's safe, a lot of goods and a
number of valuable private papers
from the Sheriffs office, wliiuh were
destroyed. Nearly all the money stol
en was of deposits, which, as there is
no bank in Lumbcrton, bad been
placed in the safe by different parties
for safe keeping. Besides some §1,000
worth of merchandise was taken from
the store, none of which was recovered.
The books and papers contained in the
safe are all secure.
It was plainly evident that the store
had been entered bv means of keys, as
was also the Sheriffs office. Treach
ery on tho part of so-called “ detec
tives” is suspected, but this may lie all
supposition. The town has been in a
tremendous state of excitement, which
had not alia ted but very little when
our informant wrote us.
It is certainly a bold and daring rob
bery, and one sufficient to paralyze an
entire community. But it should act
as a most powerful incentive to the
capture of the gang that have laid
waste the county of Robeson, and
watereil its fertile places with the blood
of its best citizens.
selves behind him. They are not all
cripples; all the rest of them can walk ;
I will prove what I said against every
one of them. And it is because they
know that I will do it—it is because
Reed of Florida, and Scott of South
Carolina, and Davis of Texas and all
of them know that I will prove it—
because they know I have been pronii-
nent in getting up a report which will
Ik- Lio:e the coun ry iu le.-s than a

me so that when people take up the
report and read it they may say, “ Oh,
it is that Beck, who was a negro driv
er, that says this.’ That is their game.
Thut is the reason why they selected a
poor old imbecile to attack me.”
Disavowing any disrespect to the
Senate, and quoting from its more
glorious traditions, Mr. Beck conclud
ed by saying, he had not said anything
to reflect on the Senate, but when lie
saw vultures sitting in tho nest of the
eagles, and babboons taking the place
of the lions, he protested against the
outrage. He wanted to keep the Sen
ate pure and high-minded ; he wanted
to see the States represented by hon
orable men, not by men who forced
themselves in there at the point of the
bayonet, or by fraud, corruption,
chicanery, or ostracism.

The Alabama Eruption.
London, February 14.—Lord Chief
Justice Cockburn, the British member
of the Geneva Board, approves the
Government’s refusal to admit the
claims for indirect damages.
Mr. Wm. Fowler, member ofParlia-
ment for Cambridge, addressing his
constituents last night, dwelt at some
length on the Alabama case. Allud
ing to the claims of the United States
for indirect damages, he said England
should not bluster nor should she sub
mit to be bullied. He believed that
the country to a man had made up its
mind if its American cousins wanted
money, they would have to come and
take it.
