COLUMBUS: LAKHKKT CITY CIBCWIiATIOK. i Thamday Morning, July 3, 188 7.’ Col. Lomu far Congrom. A writer in the Times and Sentinel of yesterday suggests the name of Colonel Tenant Lomax, the accomplished editor of the Times aud Sentinel, as a candidate for Congress in the Second District, j Politics out of the question, there is no j man in the district whom we would pre- | fer seeing elected to Col. Lomax, nor is ! there one whom we think could make a belter run. He is a gentleman of un doubted ability, as evidenced in his con duct of the editorial department of the Times, and if nominated and elected to Congress, Georgia would not have a more creditable representative in the National Council, nor one more unflinching or more zealous in upholding the interests and honor of his section. On the score of party service he lias as many claims upon his party for political preferment as any man in the district, ns lie lias wielded an able and fearless pen in the advocacy of its principles and lias con tributed as much to its success as any other man, and hence, we think it is due to him that he should receive the nomi nation if he desires it. As Col. Lomax has been absent for scleral days, and knows nothing of his name having been suggested in connection with the nomina tion for Congress, we are not apprised that he would accept the nomination if tendered him; but we know if tendered and accepted, it will meet with general favor from the Democratic party, while the American party would feel less mor tified at a defeat by him than by almost any other man. . Arrival of the Steamer Niagara. The steamer Niagara arrived at Hali fax on the 29th ult., with Liverpool dates to the 20th ult., being three days later intelligence than brought by the Persia. The stock of cotton at Liverpool was 027,000 bales, including 503,000 of America. The market closed buoyant. Breadstuffs quiet at a slight advance. The weather was favorable for the crops. Advices from Muchester were favora able. The bullion in the Bank of England had increased £OIB,OOO. At Havre Orleans tres ordinaire Cotton was worth 117f. Sales of three (lays 2,000 bales. A spirited discussion had taken place in the House of Commons relative to the destructiou of Greylown. Lord Hamil ton inquired if the Government had de manded reparation for British property destroyed. Lord Palmerston replied, “No.” The law officers of the crown have given an opinion thut the demand eould not be sustained. A long discus sion ensued, in which D’lsraeli, Roebuck and others denounced the ou rage, and insisted that the honor of the British flag ought to be maintained. Lord John Rus sell aud others defended the government, and the consideration of the subject was dropped. British cruisers ou the coast of Cuba have been increased. Continental news unimportant. French election excitement increasing. An Excellent Selection. From the Christian Index, we learn that Dr. William 11. Crawford, of Madi son Georgia, has been elected to the Pro fessorship of Chemistry and Natural Phil osophy, in William Jewell College, Mis souri. Those, who know the Doctor, feel that the Trustees have been very fortu nate in their selection of a professor. Mr. Crawford is a native Georgian, and tbs youngest son of one of Georgia's most distinguished statesmen, the Hon. Win. H. Crawford. He was graduated, at an early age, in Oglethorpe University ; and afterwards passed through the usual Med ical studies, and was regularly gradua ted. He has practiced medicine success fully in Madison, for many years ; but was also for brief periods, engaged in teaching—at one time in Mercer Univer sity. Nomination in the Fourth. We learn from the Atlanta Intelligen cer, that the Convention which assembled at Newnan on the 30th ult., lor the pur pose of nominating a Democratic candi date for Congress in the Fourth District, nominated Col. L. J. Gnrtrell, of Atlanta, on the first ballot. The ballot stood, Uartrell 220, Glenn, 104, Buchanan 3, and Bleckly 3. A Hoax. The report that a mob had attacked the quarantine buildings at Seguiue’s Point, on Long Island, and that several ol the police had been killed, turns out to be a contemptible hoax. There may be a great deal of wit in such hoaxes, but we must confess we never could see its point. A person who utters and pub lishes a wilful lie merely for the fun of deceiving others, is infinitely worse than one who doe.- it to subset ve some sinister end, tor the one commits a crime with out the temptation of a reward, and is a criminal for the fun of the thing, while the other is actuated by the temptation ol a reward. One is a scamp from mere principle, the other fur pay. Death ol “Wild Cat.” Fr m a letter in the San Antonio Tex an, dated Loredo, Texas, May 25th, we learn that “Wild Cat,” the celebrated Seminole Chief, who gave the United States so much trouble in Florida during the Beminole war, is dead, he, with forty of his followers having fallen vie tims to the small fox. Appointment by the Governor. Col. N. L. Hutchins has been appointed by hit Excellency Gov. Johnson, Judge of the Western Judicial Circuit, vice Hon. James Jackson, who has resigned, in consequence of being upminated as a candidate lor Congress. Prom the Yurkville Enquirer. GENTILITY. BY MBS. M. W. STRATTON. 0, wad aotne Pow'r the giltin gte us To SCO ou reels as ithera see us I It wad free muuie a blunder free us, And foolish notion ; - What aira in drew an’ gait wad loa’e Us, Aud er’n Devotion 1 Burnt. Mrs. Pcndarvis had been all her life trying to be genteel, and all her life ma king a perfect failure. The only decided step which she had ever succeeded in ta king towards l.he object of her ambition, was her exchanging the very ungenteel appellation of “Miss Dorcas Patience Dobbs,” for the rather well-sounding one of “Mrs. Dorcasina I’endarvis,” ami there were serious drawbacks to her feli city even in that, for her husband not on ly possessed limited means, but, very limited ideas of the display necessary to be made by a lady in his wife’s position. An orphan boy, thrown early on his own resources, entirely self-taught, and total ly devoid of that, showy gilding of man ner, which makes so many worthless characters pass current in society, Mr. l’endarvis was yet a worthy and respec table man, aud might have been popular, had he not taken an unfortunate notion that he could be very witty, and lie nev er found out his mistake, though no one laughed at his pointless jokes but him self. At home, his wife turned from them with utter contempt, and wllen abroad or in company, they perfectly horrified her, particularly as she was herself generally the subject, or victim of them. Some passages of her single life, which she never cared to recall, he took peculiar pleasure in relating, aud perhaps there might have been a little malice mingled with his pleasure too, for Mrs. Pondarvis was not particularly juvenile when she was married, and some people said that Mr. P. was only accepted as a dernier re sort, and after numberless abortive at tempts to appropriate others, he loved to tell of an old bachelor that she “laid seize to,” as he called it. John Foamy was a very frequent visi tor at the house of her uncle, where Miss Dobbs resided. He was a man of uncer tain age, who might, have called himself thirty, forty or fifty, without creatingany surprise. He did not look old, and yet there was something about him that sat isfied everybody that ho could not Vie young; lie was passable in appearance, selfish and moody in disposition—bearish in manners—a perfect gourmand at table, and an avowed woman hater; but lie was rich, and Miss Dorcas determined to make “a dead set” at him. In vain did lier uncle and aunt (who soon saw her ob ject) remonstrate with her, the former assuring her tiiat “It wouldn’t do—John Foster liad no idea of marriage—haled women too bad, or rather loved himself too welland the latter prophesying great mortification if she failed, and great misery if she succeeded. “What, a companion for life he’d make,” said she. “Why, old as I am, 1 wouldn’t have him, if there was a dia m nd hung to every hair of his iiead— indeed I’d lake it ns a great piece of in surance in him to ask me, (and the old lady looked as determined and indignant as if John Foster was urging half a dozen g ittering heads upon her acceptance.)— Why, you’ll never get a civil word out of the old bear.” “Pooh !” exclaimed the young lady, with a toss of her head, which, bye tiie bye, was covered with very pretty ring lets, “what do I care for his civility tor the little time I'll be bothered with him ? You don’t suppose that any human being can live long who stuffs as he does ? Just look at the outrageous quantity of green peas and corn lie eats at ot e din ner. to say nothing of the loads of other things, and in these cholera times too, and wliat u smoker he is: 1 do believe he smokes fifty cigars in a day.” “Smoking will never kill him,” said Mrs. Twitter, “for lie only smokes so ma ny cigars when he gets them for noth ing.” “Well, some men drink themselves to death, and that’s had enough, but lie's cramming himself to death, and that’s worse, it's so swinish ; I shouldn't won der if this very summer took him off.” But Miss Dorcas was as much mistaken in that as in all other calculations she made on the intentions of John Foster, for he not only lived through that sum mer, but through many a succeding one, though it must be acknowledged that when lie did make his exit, there was every reason to suppose that it was ex pedited by a surfeit of vegetables. iu Miss Dobbs’ mind and disposition, as iti her face and person, there were a few trifling (?) defects : even lier Lest friends could not deny that she was inor dinately vain, and painfully proud; we say painfully, because pride of a certain kind, when allied to poverty, makes then possessor at times very miserable? Among other attractions, fancied or real, she had a remarkably small and pretty foot, which she took exceeding pleasure in adorning. In every shoe store in the town in which she lived she was well-known, and regarded as a per fect nuisance, for she was always looking for boots or shoes of some uncommon style or color, and giving a vast deal of trouble without buying much at last.— Now, liad she been one of the aristocracy, even one of the species called “codfish,” the martyred merchants and clerks would have smilingly bowed her into the store, and smilingly bowed her out; their know ledge of her high position nnd full purse would have purified her couduct in their eyes, and if they uttered “curses deep,” they would not have been “loud,” but Miss Dobbs was not one of the aristocra cy, she was (save in her own estimation) b t an ordinary mortal. About the time thnt she was making “the dead set” alluded to, she was pecu liarly trying to the shoe stores. She took a notion tlint she must have a pair of gaiters of a delicate lilac color, also a pair of a beautiful pea-green, to match her two favorite, and most becoming dresses. They were not to be found in the place, but she extorted a solemn promise from each of the merchants that he would send to the North and procure the coveted articles as soon ns possible; but only one bad the slightest notion of troubling himself about it, and lie did it because he knew her too well to hope for peace uutil she got them ; so at last they came, the very color she so wanted, and such an exquisite tit, that she was in perfect raptures, tbougii they cost her twice as much as they were worth. The dresses were then worn almost as much too short, ns they are now too long, so that there was every chance for Miss Dorcas to display her pretty fee*. On the earliest occasion possible, she donned the lilac gniteis, nnd was amply rewarded by the looks of admiration with which John Foster regarded them as she walked slowly up and down her uncle’s long piazza. That night the gentleman staid to tea, not an unusual occurrence, though Miss Dorcas thought proper to draw an inference f",-om it rather flatter ing to herself, an* 1 , therefore took a sud den notion to vis r a relative whose resi dence was situated ou the way to Mr. Foster’s bache’.or apartments. Os coarse, on hearing hf.r express a strong desire to go, and a regret that “ she couldn’t go alone,” ar.d that “uncle wouldn’t go with her,” &c., he could do no less than offer his services to escort her, and lie did so with a chuckling alacrity which delighted Miss Dorcas, while it surprised her uncle, and slightly alarmed her aunt, for they both knew that such politeness was out of character with the man. The old lady shook her head, and declared that “it boded no good—something was going to happen,” and the old man ad mitted that “it boded something Now Mrs. Twitter (Miss Dorcas’ aunt) was one of those very knowing old ladies who foresee everything, and when she was listening to the details of any event., you could not help seeing “/ know'd it ” written on every feature, before the words burst from her lips, and her little bright blue eyes would grow so sharp, and even portions of her attire look smart enough to tell wonders if they only had the power of speech. Like most other thin-faced wrinkled little women, she took special delight in cups with the widest possible borders, which were starched in the stiffest possible manner —she also rejoiced in the fiercest kind of a ribbon bow, perched on the most con spicuous and airy part of her cap crown, and it was curious to observe how cor rectly that same bow had learned to par ticipate in the feelings of its wearer— how it quivered with delight when the little woman laughed merrily—how gent ly it waved to and fro, when she nodded in her chair iu the evening—and when her knitting dropped from her hand, and was jerked up again, with “bless me, I’d like to have been asleep!” how ener getically the bow jerked itself too —and how calmly it afterwards sank back into its usual position, to make arrangements for another nap—and when the little body got. into a towering passion, the bow seemed actually endowed with life and reason, it shook and danced in such exact sympathy with its owner. Our young eyes always regarded Mrs. Twit ter’s cap bow with a kind of supersti tious reverence. On the morning of the day which wit nessed tlie debut of the lilac gaiters, there had been a hard rain, and though there remained no traces of it on the side walks, there still remained in the middle of the street some rather deep pools of water, into which an unsuspecting pe destrian might easily plunge ankle deep. When it became necessary to cross, the treacherous John Foster selected the very worst one, and led Miss Dorcas and her lovely lilac gaiters into the midst of it, and then with a thousand regrets and apologies as foreign to his nature as was his previous attention, he gallantly bore her in liis arms b.-yond the danger, thus enabling her to save the one boot which she bad resolu ely held up when she felt the other which she had stepped forward, sink. To any one but John Foster, the idea might have suggested itself that it was possible to procure a pair equally beautiful and present them to the young lady ; but John was proverbially miserly, he never wasted money on himself, and of course could not be expected to waste it on other people—but lie very gener ously informed her where he laid seen a pair just like them, which she could buy, sagaciously adding that “she would then have three handsome lilac gaiters to re place the one lost, so that she would at last be a gainer by the catastrophe.” Indeed lie discoursed so kindly, and plausibly on the subject, that before she reached her home (to which the wet con dition of lier foot compelled her immedi ate return) she laid made up her mind that it was an accident, and one to be at tributed entirly to her own carelessness, but she found it impossible to make her aunt view it in I he same light. “ He done it a purpose,” declared the old lady, “and I knowed he was up to some devilment when lie started, 1 saw it in him.” “Now aunt,” pleaded Miss Dorcas, “don’t be so suspicious; I'm sure no one could be kinder, or more polite than Mr. Foster was both before aud after the accident.” “Accident!” exclaimed the old lady.— “I tell you it was no accident, he done it a purpose—the deceitful old sarpint— to spile them boots, because he saw you was so proud of them.” “Dear aunt, I wish you would try to be more genteel in your way of speaking; you don’t know how much ashamed you often make me.” “Ashamed !” (cried her now thorough ly irritated relative.) “ I make you ashamed, do I? Take care my lady, that you don’t get a husband one of these days that’ll make you worse ashamed than ever your old aunt did, (prophetic old lady ! “coming events must indeed have cast a shadow befoie,” for her spe cial enlighenment.) “Pretty pass things is come to when you talk about being ashnmed ot the only mother you’ve ever knowed, for your own died when you wasn’t an hour old.” Now as this piece of mournful intelli gence had been bestowed on Miss Dorcas at least once a day ever since she could remember, it is not very wonderful that sho had learned to bear it with some de gree of foititude, nor must we accuse her of heartlessness, because she could lis ten with calmness while her aunt reca pitulated with wonderful minuteness all the great benefits she had bestowed on her, and descanted feelingly on the aw ful ingratitude of the young Indy, and drew vivid pictures of its fearful conse quences. Bye-the-bye, some people do have a singular way of being generous, and some others have a singular way of thinking the word “generous” in many cases misapplied ; that a favor ceases to deserve the name when it is boasted of— and that a really generous act coming trom a really generous heart, leaves as much pleasure us it bestows. We do not know that any such reflections crossed the not over sensitive mind of Miss Dor cas; we presume not, as during the first part of her mini's eloquent discourse, she was occupied in trying on her pea green gaiters, an achievement which call ed fortli considerable effort, as they were the tightest possible fit, and during the list, and most emphatic part of said dis course, she was lost in blissful contem plation ot their beauty, and in trium pha t anticipations of the surprise and admiration that Mr. Foster would betray on beholding the lost ones so speedily re placed by a pair even more ben iful; and there was no fear that he wit.. 1 not see them the next day. for to that gentle* man her home was a very attractive one; . but alas, not because it was her home.— Her relatives were not very wealthy, but they bad a <;• mlortable income, kept house on a very liberal scale, and their favorite mode of showing hospitality was offering a profusion of refreshments to every guest, aud the more one could con sume, the better pleased were the simple hearted entertainers; and this suited our gourmand admirably, for provided the quality suited him, he could eat any quantity at any time. But the old lady annoyed him excessively, aud in the din -1 ing room he was sure to be left entirely to her tender mercies, as her husband never appeared there before dinner aud no matter what other guests were there, he was sure to have the most of her at -1 tention, for concious that she harboured a strong dislike to him for which she could give no sufficient reason, and be lieving that his visits were induced by his great friendship for her husband, she felt guilty of injustice towards him, and tried to hide it under a profusion of (to him) troublesome kindnesses. She was a wonderful talker, and had she just poured out a steady, monotonous stream of words, waiting for no answers, satis fied so she was talking, whether any body listened or not, like some people we have seen, it would have been more endu rable, but not so with her. Every sen : tence was delivered with a jerk and end ed with a question ; which she would re peat till answered, and as her sentences were usually short, her questions were frequent, and they were like those some times asked by children, hard to answer from their very simplicity, or confusing J from their bluntness; nor would she be put off with evasive answers—you had to give her entire satisfaction. (To be Continued.) ’ , Another Picture of Kansas. A correspondent of the Times and Sen tinel, signing himself “ Tourist,” in a letter from Leavenworth, dated June 19, writes : This Territory is completely under mob law, so far as the disposition of the “Indian Trust Lands” are concerned. Iliad supposed that these lands were to be sold as advertised, but such is not the case. Instead of their being sold to the highest bidder, the squatters have laid claims to all the most desirable of them, by building small cabins, sticking slakes, putting a few logs together, log cabin shaped, or pursuing some other device; appraising and putting a value them selves, and dictating to Government what these lands shall sell for; threatening death to any and all others who run these lands up on them. This is what is called “ selling lands to the highest bid der.” Thousands of these claims when purchased at the appraised rates, at a nominal value of from $1 to $2 75, are afterwards held at from $lO to SIOO per acre, and will readily bring it. This is what you may call “squatter sovereign ty ” with a vengeance. Mr. Buford is now here, and rumor says if he does not get his share of the spoils it will not be because lie is less ready and willing to enter the contest for the golden harvest. I would like a section or two of this land, but am too scrupulous on one hand and have too much caution on the other to make the effort on a short stay and as the chances now stand. The election for delegates to the Con vention for framing a constitution pre paratory to making application for ad mission into the Union as a State, has just come off, and nearly all the returns are now in, and it is ascertained to have gone in favor of the pro-slavery party ; the free State party mostly having neg lected or refused to vote at all. S. J. Koockogey, son of “Uncle Sam,” who keeps the admirable supper house at Geneva, is elected one of the delegates, and tells me that judging by the charac ter of those elected to frame the constitu tion for the future government of Kansas as a State, it must come in under the tolerance of slavery. This, I much doubt, for should slavery be admitted in the constitution, it will probably be rejected by the people when it comes before them for their adoption. No one here doubts their ability to do so if they so desire it. Set me down as a false prophet if the troubles of Kansas are over. No more blood may be shed here politically, but I much doubt if the same can be said in settling the thousands of conflicting and perplexing land claims that must here after arise before all are quieted. Since the South has been so lax and lukewarm in securing the natural advantages that this country offered to them, the sectional strife appears to have very much abated, and, comparatively, now only exists among individuals. Biot in Westport, Missouri. The Kansas Enterprise, of the 20th in stant, says: Our neighboring town was the scene, on Wednesday evening last, of one of the most disgraceful mobs we have known to occur in tlie upper country. From all we can learn, it appears that a fight occurred at a butcher shop kept by a German, between the butcher’s son and a citizen of the town, named Buclier. This led to a rather free fight between the friends of the two parties. In the evening, the friends of Bucher attacked the house of the butcher, drove his fami ly out of doors, destroyed his property and completely demolished the premises. They next moved to another part of the town and destroyed three other German houses, upon wliat pretext we are unable to learn, except that the occupants were Germans. We do not know what, if any, was the provocation even in the first instance, nor do we care, as nothing could justify the acts of the mob. We are advised that active measures have been taken to prosecute the parties engaged in this infamous proceeding, to a full and condign puuishment. Elopement la Louisville. The Loui.-ville Democrat, of the 18th instant, says an elopement recently oc cuired in that city. It remarks : The young lady is sweet sixteen. Lav ing thrown aside her school-bag for a broth of a boy, a clerk iu an ertnclisli meut on Third street. As usual, iu such cases, the parents of the dear little crea lure were deaf to the gentleman’s appeals, ind she was deaf to purental authority. She eluded the vigilance of the “home tolks” by gett ng permission to spend the night with a school mate. The old gentleman, who has succeeded in running up a long bank account iu his own favor, by the manufacture and sale of baker's bread, is kind hearted, and will be dis posed to forgive the naughty pair. Bank Frauds in Engand It appears that criminal informations have been filed in London against the directors ot the British Bank, several of them have been captured, and have been held to bail in $40,000 Among tho-e against whom a warrant was issued, was the notorious Humphrey Brown, late M. P., from Tewkesbu y, who opened j his account with the British Bank with | the heavy sum of s9l, nnd iu two days af ! terwards contracted a loan of SIO,OOO with it. which he speedily made only $380,- 000, and has since told the assignee that j it is “idle” to ask him to repay any of it. Fashionable Christianity. We wonder if the following trilling in . cident has application elsewhere besides in Boston ! We quote from a Boston pa per : A young man, accompanied by two ladies, visited one of our fashionable churches on Sunday to hear a noted divine. Seats were assigned them by the gentlemanly sexton. Scarcely were they seated, when a woman, (coun terfeit article,) dressed in the height of fashion, entered the pew and im ; mediately knelt, joiniug iu the prayer read by the pastor. She appeared to feel very uncomfortable, for some reasons, | which afterwards appeared. The prayer j being ended, she arose from lier kneeling position, and said to the young man, “If you please, won’t you go out; this pew belongs to us.” Thereupon the gentle man and ladies (for such they were, in the largest sense of the word) immediate ly left in search of a pew large enough to accomodate strangers. Main Trunk Kail Hoad. The Georgia Citizen of Friday,—we know not upon what authority,—says : “We understand, that the Directors of the Brunswick & Florida Rail Road, in New 1 ork, has confirmed the resolutions of the stockholders in regard to the connection, and as Dr. Scriven’s Board have also ac cepted the same, we see nothing in the way of the prosecution of the Main Trunk Road, nnd hope, for the benefit of the coun try, that it may be commenced at once, and progress rapidly t 6 completion.” NERVOUS AND RHEUMATIC AFFECTIONS. —HOLLAND BITTERS.— 1- We have used thin medicine oureetves, and in ninny cates with the greatest success.
