FRENCH POLITICS.
Paris, July 8.—To-day the Assembly
debated the public powers bill. A Radi
cal moved an amendment, making future
Assemblies permanent. Minister Buffet
defended the Republican Constitution of
February 25th. The amendment pro
posed is every way violative of that in
strument. He concluded as follows:
“Prudence requires us to seek a guaran
tee against coups d' etat. We shall find
such not in a clause of the Constitution,
but in the establishment of a government
in harmony with the traditions, character
and wants of the country, and a perma
nent Assembly would be a constant focus
of agitation, causing public opinion to
turn to the side of the executive power.
Permanency would be the most detestable
gift possible to bestow upou the Assem
bly. If Assemblies remain faithful to
public opinion, the executive power will
respect them.” The amendment was re
jected. An amendment was adopted to
the effect that, should the President die
while the Chambers are dissolved, the
Senate shall convene and a new election
be immediately ordered. The bill then
passed the third reading by a vote of 54C
to 97.
THE AMERICAN RIFLEMEN.
London, July 8.—The letter received
on the 6th inst. by Gildersleeve in relation
to the shooting by the American riflemen
at Wimbleton, was from Henry Parsons,
Adjutant of the English eight. Mr. Par
sons says: “The council is not willing to
admit another team to shoot with our
three eights in the Elcho Shield match,
but they propose a match' to take place
on the 17th inst. for the Lloyd’s Cup be
tween the Americans and eight selected
by the respective Captains from the three
British teams. At the same time the
council does not despair of a match be
tween the four eights which, perhaps,
may be managed for the Monday follow
ing the shooting at Wimbleton. In the
meantime, it hopes that the match pro
posed for the 17th inst. may be agreeable
tc the Americans.”
THE MINNESOTA DEMOCRATS.
St. Paul, July 8.—The Democratic
State Convention has adjourned. The
platform says the Constitutional amend
ments must be accepted in good faith by
all parties: the National Government
must be limited to delegated powers; the
great bulk of rights of the people must
find their safeguards in the States and
the people themselves; there must be a
return to gold and silver as a basis of the
currency of the country, with preparative
and effective measures to secure resump
tion: there must be a tariff for revenue
only, with an honest administration, and
no protective nor sumtuary laws. Nomi

Lieutenant Governor, E. W. Durand.
THE WISCONSIN RADICALS.
Madison, July 8.—The Republican
State Convention nominated for Gover
nor, Harrison Luddington; for Lieuten
ant-Governor, George H. T. Eaton. The
platform declares for a gradual return to
specie payments; no third term; tariff for
revenue, so adjusted as to be least op

railroads within their borders, and ap
plauds the efforts to punish revenue

There is a family at Sandy Hill, New
York, which has a very practical way of
viewing events in life and dealing with
sudden emergencies. The fourteen year
old daughter of this family, who has
been addicted to dime novels and other
sentimental gush, eloped with a school
boy, got married to him, and then re
turned with him to be forgiven, after the
manners of the lovers in the dime novels.
The parents, however, weie not like the
parents in the dime novels, for the
mother soundly spanked the girl, and tbe
boy on his way out of the house was
kicked eighteen times by the father. As
neither of them had ever read anything
of this sort in novels, the denouement was
a genuine surprise to them. The welcome
of the fond parents, however, is said to
have worked like a charm, and both the
lovers are cured of thei^ folly. Love
may laugh at a locksmith; but, wfeen it
conies to spankings and No. 12 boots,
love can raise at best only a very sickly
smile.—Chicago Tribune.

FATE OF THE SARANAC.
Washington, July 8.—Official— Cap-
I tain Queen reports that at 7:20
a. m. the Saranac entered Discovery
Passage while the tide was favorable,
and immediately proceeded on her
way. At 8:40, while passing through
Seymour Narrows, she was caught in a
whirlpool, caused by strong counter cur
rents, and became unmanageable and
refused to obey the rudder. She was
carried bodily on a sunken rock, striking
with great force on the port side, about
abreast of the foremast, careening the ship
and starting the decks forward. She
hung for a moment, and then slipping off,
headed for the shore of Vancouver’s
Island. The ship filled rapidly about the
head, aDd when she struck the shore the
fires were out. Both anchors were then
let go and a hawser fastened to a tree.
All the boats were lowered except the
steam launch, which we had no time to
get from its cradle. The vessel went
down in ten or fifteen minutes, stem
foremost, in fifty or sixty fathoms water.
The steam launch floated from its cradle,
and was saved. The documents and money
were saved.
CANADA AND GREAT BRITAIN.
London, July 8.—The Canada Club
gave a dinner last evening to the Earl of
Dufferin, Governor-General of the Ca
nadian Dominion, who is now on a visit
to Great Britain. The Earl, in response
to a toast, said the prevailing passion of
Canadians was their desire to maintain
intact their connection with England. It
was impossible to over-state the
depth or universality of this sentiment.
He expatiated on the friendly relations
between Canada and the United States,and
said every thoughtful citizen of the United
States was convinced that the fate of
Canada is unalterably fixed, and contem
plates the progress of Canada with gen
erous enthusiasm. The Americans are
wise enough to understand the benefits
arising from the existence on the same
continent of a political system offering
many points of contrast, comparison
and friendly emulation with their own.
THE WASHINGTON WEATHER PROPHET.
Washington, July 8.—Probabilities:
For the South Atlantic and Gulf States,
slight change in the barometer and tem

For Tennessee, the Ohio valley and
lower lake region, stationary or falling
barometer, slight change in temperature,
northeast to southeast winds, clear or
partly cloudy weather.
For the Middle and Eastern States,
rising or stationary barometer, winds
mostly from northeast to southeast,

ed to shoot an officer of the 9 th cavalry near
Matamoras. The gunboat Juarez, with
the prisoners, sailed yesterday. She had

A British Scandal.—Another of the
sorrows of society is a sad scandal, affect
ing a well known officer of high rank,
CoL Valentine Baker, who is the com
mander of the Prince of Wales’ crack
regiment of Hussars. On Thursday af
ternoon some of the passengers in a train
on the Southwestern Railway, just beyond
Woking, were startled by screams, and,
looking out, saw a woman standing on
the foot-board of a carriage and holding
on with difficulty. After several fruitless
attempts to attract the attention of the
guards or engine-driver, a laborer on the
line contrived to make himself understood
by signals, and the train was stopped.
It was then found that the lady was a
passenger in the train and had traveled
in the same compartment with CoL
Baker, but had been driven to take refuge
in this dreadful manner from his attempts
to assault her. This, at least, is her ac
count of the matter, and the Colonel was
immediately apprehended and will be
put on trial. It appears that the unfor
tunate young lady-rode on the step of the
railway carriage for a distance of four or
five miles, and was almost insensible
when the train stopped. There was no
means of communication in the train
between the passengers and the guard or
driver. It is needless to say that, on
every ground, this horrible story has
produced a painful sensation, and one of
the results will, no doubt, be a renewal
of the agitation which was raised after
the murder of Mr. Briggs in a railway
carriage some years ago, for compelling
the companies to provide some method
of signalling to the officers in charge of
a train .—London Correspondence N. T.

IS IT FINISHED ?
The Future of Beecher and Hi* Brethren
[From the Cincinnati Enquirer.^
The Beecher trial is ended—ended to
the dissatisfaction of everybody; ended in
the disgrace, as it is reported, of nine
jurymen ; ended in an almost universal
and a remediless contempt for the char
acter of the foremost Ckristian(?) preacher
of America; ended in the debasement of
the Christian religion; ended in a degra
dation of Plymouth Church as lasting as
itself. The disagreement of the jury, if
not a verdict for the plaintiff, was a ver
dict against the defendant. The illustrious
a$d lascivious hypocrite was tried by
those who thought themselves unworthy
to stoop down and unloose the latchet of
his shoes. A demogogue in religion
was tried on the spot where he had
long been idolized, supported by
men and women either so blindly
pious as to believe him incapable of
sinning, or so destitute of piety as to
be unwilling that he should be convicted
of adultery, however guilty. Nothing
less than a speedy acquittal would have
been an acquittal for Beecher worthy the
name. Every conceivable advantage was
his in the trial. Wealth and worship;
the Influence of the Plymouth Church
Company, to whieh, as an investment, he
was worth, as interest on investments
averages, nearly a million of dollars: the
religious superstition which clothes “the
minister” with a halo of righteousness;
the bottomless belief that the conviction
of a saintly sinner is a blow at reli
gion—these, among other things, and
not the evidence in the case, consti
tuted Beecher’s defense. In the Beech
er atmosphere of Brooklyn men and
women—especially women—would not
believe Beecher guilty, though one rose
from the dead to pronounce him what he
is. Under such circumstances the disa
greement of the jury is the condemna
tion of Beecher. We do not now allude
to the fact that the foreman of the jury
confessed to having had an opinion
favorable to Beecher before the trial com
menced, but professed to have changed
it, for the sake of becoming a juror. We
do not allude to the fact that his bias was
so ill-concealed during the trial as to
excite the ire of his fellow-jurymen, and
demand a public rebuke from the counsel
for the plaintiff. We do not allude to the
fact that he, of all the jurymen, bowed
his favorable vote to Beecher as the jury
retired from the box to enter
upon the farce of attempting to
find a verdict. We do not insist upon
the charge openly made in court that
“influences” had been brought to bear
upon the jury by the defense. It is not
all of these facts combined, and they can
all be proved, which indicate the iinpos
sibility of an impartial verdict. These
are simply surface indications of the deep
determination of Brooklyn and of Ply
mouth Church not to allow their splendid
graven image to be shivered to atoms. If
ever a change of venue in a civil suit
were permissible it should have been had
in this case. Pending the trial, too,
Beecher has been busily at work with
matchless eloquence, that seemed hal
lowed, to manufacture a verdict. In that
deusely-packed, quaint brick church on
Orange street he has towered above
courts and juries by his marvelous art of
speech.
Could such a man be guilty of adult
ery ? Of course not. But, seventy years
ago, in the Senate Chamber of the United
States, a Vice President stood saying a
brief farewell to that body. He was
known to be a wholesale seducer. He
had killed the idol of a great party in
duel, not his first. He was accused of
having betrayed a political party that had
placed some of its choicest laurels upon
his head. A little later he was tried for
treason. He wasn’t a great orator ; but
in that little farewell speech Aaron Burr
melted to tears a Senate in which he had
not a friend. Eloquence is no proof of
virtue.
This trial has lasted six months, almost
to a day. What are its results ? This is
the crowning glory of the silver-haired,
silver-tongued Christian orator of Amer
ica, the climax of a life of three score
years and two. What has he accom
plished? He has flooded the’country for
half a year with an unparalleled amount
of salacious reading, which never could
have found its way into type but for the
name of Henry Ward Beecher. He has
carried thoughts of impurity into thou
sands of homes to whose wives and
daughters impure thoughts were strangers.
He has weakened the beautiful belief of
girlhood in the possibility of virtue, and
has shattered the faith of wifehood in the
fidelity of husbands. This is a part of his
benefaction to society. What has he done
for Plymouth Church? He has made it the
champion church of adultery in the land.
Some years ago the teachers of religion
were recommended to avoid even the ap
pearance of evil. But Plymouth Church
is made to cast flowers at the feet of a
man who can not be acquitted of seduc
tion and adultery. Plymouth Church
may hereafter be a religious circus tent,
but can never more be a temple of
pure and undefiled religion, honored
among men. Human passions can
not excuse it It will not lack a
Bhck Crook audience, but Christians
will avoid it. The result of the trial,
as to Beecher himself, will not be
marked. The timid, trembling, crying
criminal, who, in the first hour of threat
ened disclosure, was in the agony of de
spair, wished he were dead, wrote his
resignation, threatened suicide, &c., has
passed that stage. One year ago he
dared not trust himself to an investiga
tion by his own Church and congregation
save by a jury of his own selecting,
whose opinions he knew in advance. It
doesn’t matter that some of them have
since been accused of smuggling. But
he has been hardened by time and by the
support of Plymouth Church into the
courage of desperation, and last Sunday
he defied the jury which could not
acquit him of adultery, the law which
he had violated and the devil him
self. Had a verdict been found for the
plaintiff Beecher would have received
some sympaiby from many who believe
in his guilt. The “hoary-headed seducer”
will now receive none of that. He has
placed a premium upon clerical adultery,
for the evidence would have convicted
any man but Henry Ward Beecher. It is
decided that the law is one thing for a
preacher and another thing for a layman.
This is the commencement season.
Hundreds of young men are leaving col
lege, and are about to enter some profes
sion. Beecher has given an incentive to
many a young sinner to enter the minis
try. But Beecher will continue to preach
the religion he has desecrated to a con
gregation innocent of religion, that has
enabled him to dishonor the faith.
The “Independent Democrat.”—He
is a spurious spawn of dying Radicalism
found in some localities of the black belt.
He is a man—or more properly a thing
that bows to the dictation and control of
thieves and negroes and barters his self-
respect and manhood for paltry office.
We are happy to state that up to this
date, this animal does not flourish in this
immediate vicinity, the soil of Marengo
being rather unfavorable to his growtji.
We have ten times more respect for an
outspoken enemy than one of these
dodging tricksters styling himself “inde
pendent.” Independent of what? Of
nothing but the good opinion of all de
cent people of the race that he disgraces.
He is bound in chains of triple brass to
obey and cower before the ignorance,
brutality and corruption that places him
in the office he dishonors. It is a misno
mer and a sham (shame ?) to call such
creatures “independent.” — JDemopcUs
News Journal.
Where the Danger Lies.—The most
dangerous phase that our politics has as
sumed recently is the tendency of the
Democrats of the South and West to
form an alliance on the question of infla
tion. The most ominous incident of this
allianoe is the action of the convention
in Ohio. Our last campaign was fought
for a preservation of the Union against
premature reconstruction, and it looks
now as if our next campaign would be
fought for our national credit against re
pudiation.—iY. T. Herald.
POMEROY, THE BOY MURDERER.
Decision of fhe Council in Reference to
the Hanging—The Confession.
A Boston dispatch states that the coun
cil, on Friday, by a vote of five to four,
authorized the Governor of Massachu
setts to issue his warrant for tbe execu
tion of the boy murderer, Jesse Pomeroy,
whose murder of two small children, for
no cause whatever, is well remembered.
An immense pressure was brought to bear
on the Governor and council by parties
in favor of meting out to Pomeroy the
full extent of the law—L e. hanging—
instead of commutation of sentence of
imprisonment for life. Delegation after
delegation (mothers in nearly all cases)
have waited upon members of the coun
cil at their homes, offices, on the street,
at the hotels while dining, and even in
stores when making necessary purchases,
have they been besieged by ladies, as
soon as recognized as members of the
Governor’s council, to cast their vote in
favor of hanging whenever his case
should come before the council for final
disposition.
the confession.
Pomeroy was visited at the jail where
he has been confined since his conviction
by members of the council, who con
versed with him on the subject of his
crimes. They found him to be an un
usually bright and intelligent lad; his
answers were given with promptness and
decision; there was no wavering or hesi
tation in them, but right to the point.
When asked how many murders he had
committed his quick reply was, “Two,
sir!” He was asked why he killed the
little boy, and replied that “he did not
know.” ne said that “he was standing
with two others looking at the working
of a fire engine, when he noticed a pretty
looking little boy standing near. He
suddenly asked the little fellow if he
wouldn’t take a walk with him, and upon
consenting, he was led across marshes a
distance of at least a mile, when sud
denly he felt a fluttering in his head and
mechanically h« took his pocket-knife
from his pocket, rapidly opened it, and
stabbed, stabbed, stabbed it into his
little victim, having no consciousness of
what he was doing at the time, and never
that day fully realizing what he had done.
That in all the time he was walking with
the boy he did not have it in his mind to
injure him, his only notion in having him
with him was for companionship, and it
was only when suddenly seized with this
uucontrolable impulse that he did the
deed, and it all occurred within a minute.
The boy was a pretty child, and that was
what attracted him toward him.”
the murder of the little girl.
When asked about the circumstances
of his killing the little girl in South Bos
ton, he said, that “ that morning his
mother and brother were away, or en
gaged, and he was obliged to attend to
the periodical store. He sat reading
awhile, when a pretty little girl, whom
he had never seen before, came in and
asked for some papers. As soon as she
spoke, this terrible feeling all through
him, with the fluttering in his head, came
over him, and he replied: ‘ They’re
down cellar.’ Unsuspectingly she opened
the door and passed down the stairs,
Pomeroy immediately following, drawing
his knife as he went. As soon as the
bottom was reached he placed his left
hand over her mouth, drew her head back
toward his shoulder, and with the knife
in his right hand, cut her throat; and she
was dead in a minute. Not three minutes
had expired from the time he first laid
eyes on the little girl before she was
dead.”
ANOTHER OF POMEROY’S ATBOCITIE8.
At one of the hearings before the coun
cil there were present with their parents
several of the little victims of his pre
vious atrocities. Their recital of the in
juries and tortures inflicted upon them
by Jesse Pomeroy were startling. He
met one little boy, when there was snow
on the ground and the thermometer near
zero, standing looking into a window ; he
told him a story as to how a man wanted
a bundle carried a short distance, and as
he had a sled with him he would give the
boy a quarter if he would assist him.
Consent being given, he led this boy
away some two miles to a shed, entered
and made the boy strip to the
skin, tied him up, took out his knife,
stuck it into each cheek, drawing it away
looking at the point to see the blood, then
caused the little fellow to don his
clothing, placed him on his sled, and
drew him to the boy’s own door and left
him. Another boy he enticed into a boat
house, climbed with him into a boat,
made him strip, and then tortured him
for an hour or more by sticking pins into
his flesh to the depth of from a quarter
to half an inch, and this hundieds of
times, threatening to kill his victim upon
the least outcry, finally releasing him and
seeing him safely home. One thing is
inexplicable—how did he dare to return
with his little victims to their very doors,
unless it was, as he says, that “he didn’t
know what he was doing.”
A DIME NOVEL READER.'
Pomeroy has been a close reader of
dime novels and yellow covered litera
ture until, as one of the gentlemen stated
in his argument before the Council, “his
brain was turned, and his highest ambi
tion was to be the Texas Jack of South
Boston.”
The Health Officer of Charleston has a
cool way of putting it. He publishes a
table of mortuary statistics, which shows
that of twenty-three cities there is but
one—Nashville—with a higher death rate
than Charleston, and then modestly states
that Charleston is one of the healthiest
places in the country. The following is
the table:

where the deaths are only 9 in 1,000;
Wheeling comes next, with 10 in 1,000;
and St. Louis next, with 11 in 1,000.
The sickliest place is Nashville, where
the deaths are 37 in 1,000; next comes
Charleston, with 34 in 1,000; and next
Philadelphia and New York, with 24 in

The fatal issue of a duel between two
persons well known in Italy has for some
days past engrossed all conversation in
Rome. The son of M. Mancini, a former
Minister, and the greatest lawyer in the
country, is a Captain of Bersaglieri in
garrison at Milan, where he resided with
his wife, who, as Signora CattermolJ, had
obtained some success with her poems.
Captain Mancini obtained proof of her
intimacy with one of his friends, M.
Benati de Baylon, a young man of good
family. A hostile meeting with pistols
was the consequence, and the latter was
shot in the breast, and died a few days
after, at the age of 29. As to the wife,
the husband merely sent her to her family.
Subsequently, at the funeral of the de
ceased, the attendance was remarked of
a woman dressed in black and appearing
greatly moved. After the grave had been
closed, she proceeded to a stone cross,
before which she knelt, and, drawing
from her pocket a bottle of sulphuric
acid, swallowed its contents at a draught,
and fell inanimate. It was the guilty
woman’s femme-de-chambre, whose dis
closures had led to the young man’s death.
Her remorse led her to attempt suicide,
and her recovery is despaired of.
POLITICS AND BLOOD.
The Red Deri!*, Half Breed* and Moke*
of the Cherokee Nation In a State of
Anarchy.
[St. Louis Special (July 3) to the Chicago Times.]
Col. E. C. Boudinot, the leader of the
civilized CheYokees, arrived here to-night
direct from Fort Smith, Kansas, and will
return on Sunday to Vinita. In conver
sation with the Times representative he
said the political and social condition of
the Indian nation was worse than at any
time previous in his recollection. The
Cherokees are divided into two hostile
factions, the Ross and Downing parties,
and are apparently engaged in a w ar of
extermination. At Fort Smith there
were, at the present term of court,
twenty-seven murder cases on the docket,
all of them committed in the Indian Terri
tory. While court was in session, pretty
well authenticated reports of ten new
murders were brought in, two of them
just across the river. This is Judge
Parker’s first session and it bids fair to
be an unpleasant one. The election for
chief of the Cherokee tribe takes place
on the first Monday in August, and the
present wantonness and disregard of law
is a prelude to the still more barbarous
scenes which are apprehended. The
Council wiH be elected at the same time,
to be composed of forty-five members,
twenty-seven in the lower and eighteen
in the upper house, which will meet on
the first Monday in November at Tahle
quah. One party is led by W. P. Ross,
the present chief, who is a candidate for
re-election, and the other by Charles
Thompson, a full-blood, who represents
the Downing faction. Col. Boudinot
believes that Thompson will be elected.
Ross hopes to prevent a full vote by in
timidation, and most of the recent mur
ders are charged to him and his partisans.
The Downing partv have notified Ross
that he will be held personally responsi
ble for the continuance of this reign of
terror. Seven men are now under sen
fence of death at Fort Smith, and will
probably be hung in one day early in the
fall. They are two Indians, one negro,
and four white men. Colonel Boudinot
predicts that anarchy will rule through
out the Cherokee country until the Au
gust election, unless the military force is
considerably reinforced. There is now
only one company in the Nation, and that
is stationed at Fort Gibson, and this force
is utterly inadequate to protect those who
are willing to behave, or to arrest the
marauders.
Nevada’s Poker-Playing Deacon.
[Saratoga Correspondence of the N. Y. World.]
One of the most curious specimens I
have met so far is Deacon Parker, of Ne
vada, who is traveling for health and
pleasure, and seems quite likely to get his
fair share of both those desirable com
modities, as well as a goodly portion of
all creature comforts which may be float
ing around. The Deacon is an admirable
type of a certain class of Western men,
abounding in quaint speeches and pic
turesque language. He piques himself
on being a self-made man, though why be
left the top of his head in an almost
unfinished state, and roofed it over with
a few straggling hairs, I have as yet been
unable to discover. I made the Deacon’s
acquaintance at a little dinner at the lake
given by his friend and traveling compan
ion, Colonel , editor of a leading Ne
vada paper. After dinner we whiled away
the time in a game of cards, com
monly known as draw poker. The
Deacon watched our game with apparent
interest. Finally we asked him if he un
derstood the game. Yes, he had played
it in his younger days. Wouldn’t he take
a hand ? “Well, yes; he didn’t want to
seem onsocial like.” He took a seat at
the table and handled the pasteboards in
a masterly manner, to say nothing of a
wonderful run of luck which soon de
clared itself in his favor. Victory
perchecTitself on the Deacon’s bald head,
or rather on the gray felt hat which sur
mounted and embellished his person; our
dollars all found their way to the Deacon’s
side. Finally, when it became time to
break up, the Deacon counted his gains,
and modestly announced that he had won
six hundred and seventeen dollars.
Deacon Parker is what the Germans call
a many-sided man. He makes a stiff
speech, takes his whisky clear, is power
ful at prayer, and plays a stiff game of
draw.poker, as we found to our grief.
A Cincinnati Picnic.—The steamers
Nick Longworth and Champion took
loads of people to the Parker Grove
picnic yesterday, the latter making two
trips. We have given a brief outline of
the bloody character of that excursion
under “Accidents and Incidents,” in our
general article on the Fourth. From
late information we have learned that
such a carnival of blood and unlicensed
debauchery scarcely ever disgraced any
day in this vicinity. On the way up a
mob of thieves attacked Mickey Patton,
Constable of the Sixteenth Ward, downed
him and commenced robbing him. Pat
ton drew a pistol, put it to a man’s
head, and pulled trigger. It missed fire.
Just then some of Patton’s friends among
the duffers interfered and saved him. We
have told in the article on the Fourth
how the police were armed with pis
tols and knives on the ground. Country
men were knocked down there without
provocation. It was the scene of one
continual fighting in which knives and
pistols often came into play. Three men
were shot, and one or two cut. On the
way back on the Longworth a man was
stabbed mortally—it is thought by those
who saw it—and another man was des
perately beaten, then thrown into the
river, and that was the last seen of him.
A crowd set upon the bar-keeper, beating
him with bottles, and they wou'd have
killed him but for a woman who drew a
dagger from a fan and bade the ruffians
stand back. They obeyed. One man
was afterward shot in the leg. On the
grounds and on the boat daggers flashed
and pistols were flourished. Outside of
the penitentiary it would be hard to get
together such another set of cut-throats,
male and female. State legislation is
necessaiy to render impossible the repe
tition of such debauches.—Enquirer.
Cotton Manufacture in the South.
[From the Columbus Enquirer.]
The late reports of the Augusta ant
Graniteville factories may discourage som.
friends of cotton manufacturing in th<
South; but if they will view the matte)
in all its bearings and surroundings, w<
think they will see that there is no caus4
for distrust or despondency. For nearl;
two years the country has been sufferin;
in all its business interests from a stab
of depression and stagnation of a ver
extraordinary character. What large
or general business has prospered durin;
this period ? What one has not had b
curtail its operations, or to see its cu&
tomary profits almost entirely lost ? Tht
industry which has, during this period,
maintained itself in its full proportions,
even without making any clear profits,
has done well. This the cotton manufac
turing business of the South has done.
The Augusta and Graniteville mills, unfa
vorable as their reports may seem, have
done still better. They have recently de
clared quarterly dividends of 2 per cent.,
equal to 8 per cent, per annum. No
doubt they could have done still better
by merely taking care of the interests of
the stockholders—reducing the wages or
shortening the working time of their
employes. But this they have not
done. With a regard for the interests
of all working for them, which we hope
may ever mark the conduct of Southern
manufacturers, they have retained their
force and paid living wages. The Au
gusta company have done still better—if
not for themselves, for operatives who
work in the mills. They have, within
this period of depression and stagnation,
built another large factory, to give em
ployment to hundreds of additional
bands. They may not profit by this new
enterprise and expenditure while the
present unfavorable condition of trade
and industry continues, but when pros
perity returrs to other great branches of
business, they will be in a position ena
bling them to run smoothly along on the
first swell of the tide and to reap then |
the reward to which their enterprise and
liberality gives them a good claim.
The continued activity of cotton manu
facturing at the South is evidence of its
enduring vitality, and the temporary sus
pension of large dividends affords no
cause for alarm. The business is now
firmly established, as its continued ac
tivity during times such as these suffi
ciently proves. Such a trial ought to
give it strength and increase confidence
in its permanence and its profit under
more propitious conditions.

A Kentucky Bird Story —The Paris
True Kentuckian says : “In the suburbs
of Paris, last Sunday, while a young lady
was sitting near a window, a blackbird
came and lighted upon the veranda. No
ticing it was in no hurry to leave, she
commenced talking to it, and being rather
of a poetic turn of mind, recited Poe’s
‘Raven,’ when it flew into the window
and lighted on her foot. It sat there
awhile, then hopped into her lap, and
appeared very gentle, oommenced picking
at her fingers and oatching flies. Perched
upon her arm she brought it down stairs.
It showed no signs of fear, but would eat
out of her hand, or, sitting in the win-_
dow, catch flies as they came around.
After amusiDg the children awhile, and
seemingly being amused by them, it
hopped in the window, looked around a
few minutes, then flew away, and has not
been seen since.”
Salt Lake City can’t be a good town for
a circus. Queen’s circus lately tried it
for three days. It had to pay $100 per
day license for showing, and this was but
a small part of the tax. Brigham Young
and Daniel H. Wells exacted family tickets
good for three days and nights. They
wanted 170 tickets for their family, which
at the regular rates amounted to $510.
Brigham said that this complimentary
attention was necessary if Queen wanted
to do a thriving business in his town, and
Queen submitted. The best part of the
circus tent was partitioned off for the
prophet’s harem.
Signor Tamberlik, the eminent tenor
singer, lost all of hia luggage during its
transit from Madrid to Paris, in the fire
of the docks of Marseilles. All of his
costumes, a large collection of ancient
objects bought in Spain, the crowns in
gold and silver which the public and
municipalities of the principal towns
where he had sung had given himj and
many other valuable articles, were
destroyed. He estimates his loss at
$30,000.
Something Like.
Close upon the shore of Lake Winne
piscogee is a town, and in that town
dwells a man whom we will call Amber.
Mr. Amber keeps a store, and, as he is a
genial, accommodating man, he keeps for
sale everything that the good people of
the country can reasonably expect him to
keep. Particularly has it been the prac
tice of Mr. Amber to keep a barrel of
whiskey on tap in his cellar. One in the
fall and one in the spring will generally
carry him through. Ho is very careful
to whom he sells, and so far as is known,
the authorities have never given him any
trouble.
One day Mr. Eliphalet Spooner entered
the store with a slight protuberance visi
ble upon his left breast. Mr. Spooner
was a deacon, and a most proper man.
He called the merchant aside and asked
him if he had any good whisky. Amber
nodded in the affirmative.
“Will you let me have a pint ?” and
the deacon pulled from his breast pocket
a pint bottle.
“Certainly,’’said the trader, and forth
with he departed for the cellar. When
returned he brought the full bottle,
carefully wiped and corked.
“What is to pay?”
“Fifty cents.”
Mr. Spooner handed him over a fifty
cent scrip, and then, in a hesitating way.
drew the cork. He placed the bottle to
his lins and tasted, just a drop, to test
the quality of the liquor. He did this
twice, and the expression on his face
was one of hesitation and doubt.
‘Mr. Amber,” he said, “I’m getting
this for my wife. Is this the very best
you have ?”
“Oh ! you want it for medicine !”
“Yes, certainly.”
“If that is the case—” the sentence was
finished with a smile, and reaching forth
for the bottle.
Down into the cellar went the store
keeper again. There was no need that
he should empty the bottle and refill it,
for he had but one solitary barrel from
which to draw ; so he took a turn around
and soon came back, wiping the bottle
afresh.
“I shall have to charge you 87 cents for
this, Mr. Spooner.”
Having paid the extra charge with the
utmost cheerfulness, Mr. Spooner placed
the bottle again to bis lips, and tasted
critically.
“Aha!” he uttered, with a bright
smile and a grateful nod; “this is some
thing like.”
And he went away entirely satisfied.
And Mr. Amber, also, notwithstanding
the fraud he had perpetrated, appeared
to be satisfied, if one might judge by the
quiet smile that illuminated his rubicund
visage.
A $2,000,000 Head of Hair.
The London Echo prints the following:
“We have it upon the authority of a
medical journal that there are ‘from 160,-
000 to 200,000 hairs in a lady’s head,’
and upon other, if not higher authority,
we know that ‘beauty leads us by a single
hair.’ What, then, in this eminently
commercial and money making age is tbe
obvious conclusion? Is it not evident
that every one should consider what is
the worth of a single hair ‘upon a lady’s
head,’ wbat is the worth of it when re
moved from a lady’s head, and what
fortune may she, under penalty of bald
ness, be supposed to carry? And we are
not without data, for the same journal
tells us that Mme. NUsson lately sold a
hair from her head for £2, ‘and in a few
moments the Swedish songstress va« sur
rounded by admirers anxious to buy a
hair at the same rate. ’
“Of course,this pelican-like conduct on
the part of Mme. Nilsson was, we need
not say, done with a good object—it was
to feed the sick and wounded, and of
course it occurred at a fancy fair, and in
New York. ‘Mme. Nilsson was asked by
an American banker to let him have a
hair at her own price,’ and she valued
the treasure at ten dollars, which at once
set our cousins to ‘calculate’ that ‘the
Swedish songstress’ carried $2,000,000
on her fair head. Here, then, is a new
line of business for young ladies at fancy
fairs. But all may not have Mme. Nils
son’s success. We once saw an English
lady displaying to an Arab family a hair
of Charles James Fox, at whioh they dis
tinctly turned up their noses. But then
he was a man.”

tion for the office of Governor of South
Carolina, while attempting carefully to
conceal his purposes, plainly exhibits his
true character. The party hack, the
political trickster, the cunning perverter
of truth, the man ^ho holds “the word
of promise to the ear,” with the settled
purpose of breaking it “to the hope,” is
prominent throughout the production.
It is not for his birthplace, but for his
unworthiness that Mr. Chamberlain, with
his whole confraternity of robbers, is re
fected by all in the State whose esteem is
worth the acceptance of a noble soul.
Words fail to express the indignation,
the scorn, the contempt with which they
are regarded. Their audacity is equalled
only by their repacity. They have
rushed into the midst of us in our day of
humiliation. They have bribed and
cheated the ignorant negroes to their un
holy ends. Through the instrumentality
of the cheated colored voters, they have
foisted themselves in the high places
of power; not to bless, bqt to ravage
and ruin, hot the white people alone, but
black and white alike, and to involve, in
one common destruction, ah but them
selves—the obscene birds of prey.-—
