Illness of Hon. A. H. Stephens.
Our entire community, who have from
day to day waited with heartfelt solici
tude intelligence of the condition of Hon.
A'. H. Stephens, will be pained to lenm
from our dispatch this morning that there
is no improvement. While we may stil!
hope that the distinguished sufferer may
be spared to the State and country he Las
so honorably and faithfully served, and
to the frienda so warmly attached to him,
we tannot dismiss our fears that the eud
he so calmly and resignedly contemplates
is approaching. A correspondent of the
Augusta Chronicle relates a touching inei-
.ent connected with his present illness
8 V ‘‘ '£* ich not only illustrates his character
ln01S ’n;-'?} P atriot and Christian, but indicates
Cory of ’ gjfOwji convictions of his situation,
dt Whiting.Aev. John P. Duncan, of the Metb
n (on *’ ust Church, an old and devoted friend
• W*.-'-of Mr. Stephens, on Friday night las
i visited his bedside. After having, at Mr.
Stephens' request, sang several spiritu:
songs, favorites of the illustrious sufferer,
Mr. Duncan knelt with the members of
the family and engaged in prayer. As
he rose to depart Mr. Stephens addressed
him as follows:
“Good-bye, Mr. Duncan. I have
Bingle request to make of you, before
you go while I linger here at death's door.
You go to the watch service at the First
Methodist Church in Atlanta to-night.
Say to the members of that church, for
me, to pray to God that this, our coun
try, may have national peace, national
prosperity, national fraternity and na
tional happiness, and that He will guide
and direct our statesmen in their efforts
to accomplish this end, and that our gov
ernment may be reclaimed from its ene
rnies and brought back to the designs of
our forefathers. For myself I ask only
one prayer, and that is that the will of
the Lord be done.”
Mr. Duncan bore Mr. Stephens's mes
sage to the congregation at the watch
meeting. At the conclusion of his re
marks the congregation knelt, Judge W.
F. Wright leading in prayer, and offering
up an earnest supplication that the Lord
would spare the great and good states
man to his people and country.
A gentleman recently returned to At
lanta from a visit to Mr Stephens says
he shows the sublimest fortitude in his
suffering. When questioned as to his
condition and prospects of recovery he
replied: “I am neither despondent nor
hopeful. I have no desire to live anothor
day, but God’s will be done !'*
The correspondent of the Chronicle
closes with the remark: “Many friends of
Mr.Stephens here are deeply solicitous of
his fate in the present crisis. There are,
however, others who firmly believe that
the wonderful vitality of the man will
bring him through safe. ” The entire coun
try unites in the hope that that belief may
be realized.
The political campaign is shortly to be
inaugurated in New Hampshire, and will
be a very exciting one, as the Legisla
ture, which meets in March, will elect a
successor to United States Senator Cragin,
whose term expires in March, 1877. The
Republican Convention meets on the r>th
inst, and will probably renominate Gov.
Cheney. The Democratic Convention
meets January 12, and will probably put
a new man in nomination. Among those
named are ex-Mayor Colony, of Keene;
Frank A. McKean, of Nashua; and Capt.
Daniel Marcy, of Portsmouth. The Pro
hibitionists, who hold the balance of
power, have already met and nominated
Asa Kendrick, of Swanzy, a very strong
man.
With infinite zeal the redoubtable Gen
eral Kilpatrick is now raiding among the
slanderers of the great and good General
Sherman. All booted and spurred he
slashes right and left through the columns
of the New York Times at his brother
cavalry-man Wilson for implying that
Sherman, not McPherson, is responsible
for allowing General Joe Johnston to es
cape at Dalton. Upon which the Hart
ford Times quietly remarks that the vin
dication is a good one, but it suspects,
after all, that if the truth were known,
the real fault would have to be charged
to General Johnston himself.
With the beginning of the year went
into effect the articles of the postal
union, which go a long way toward
equalizing the postal laws of the different
nations having commercial relations. All
the countries of Europe, Russia, Turkey
in Asia, Egypt and the United States
have agreed upon a uniform rate of
postage, as follows: Five cents per half
ounce on letters, two cents for postal
*cards, two cents each for newspapers,
not exceeding four ounces, and two cents
per two ounces for other printed matter
and patterns of merchandise.
Railroad Construction and Railroad
Transportation. Broad Gauge, Narrow
Gauge, and No Gauge, or Single Rail
Railway. A New Departure Proposed,
and the Reasons Why.” By John West-
cott, Civil Engineer, Tocoi, Florida.
This pamphlet is upon a very impor
tant subject, and can but attract general
attention. The principal object of the
essay, it seems, is to show that the standard
railroads in the United States, on account
of their extraordinary cost, and the large
proportion of gross earnings absolutely
necessary to defray the annual expense
for maintenance of way, are now carry
ing freights as low, if not really lower,
than can be affoidetl, and provide for the
interest on bonds and pay dividends on
stock, on the large amount of money they
cost; and that for the benefit of agricul
ture and commerce some cheaper mode
of rapid transit is required—something
that will pay interest and dividends and
answer all the urgent demands for
“cheaper transportation.”
The author ably sets forth a seemingly
irresistible argument in favor of a single
rail, or no gauge railway, and seems to
fully sustain his established reputation,
not only as a civil engineer, but as an
industrious collector of facts, as well as a
fortified and, forcible writer.
With that class of producers and com
mercial men wiio take a deep interest in
“cheaper transportation,” this new de
parture must of necessity be popular.
To the capitalist whose railroad bonds
are annually shrinking in value, the sue
cess of this new departure can but be
pleasing. With railroad stockholders
whose stock is only valuable for others to
control the management, and whose ex
penditure seemed it retrievably gone,
never to be recovered as a paying invest
ment, this pamphlet of facts and argu
ments, founded on substantial evidence,
can but be highly prized.
The cry of despair which comes from
the overburdened West; the demand for
cheaper food from the working classes,
“the operatives,” of the East,and cheaper
transportation from the cotton, sugar and
tobacco producers of the South, and the
rapid falling off of our principal articles
of export, all indicate the imperative
necessity for a cheaper means of getting
our surplus agricultural productions to
market.
If this new departure in railroad build
ing is half that is claimed for it, it should
be immediately adopted, especially by
the non-fmying railroads, whose name is
legion. If this new departure in rail
roads, should prove to be a success, afid
there seems to be no reason why it will
not, it at onc« assures our im
perilled position in the markets of the
world for our surplus grain crops and
restores confidence in our railroad bonds
and stocks, thus stimulating our indus
tries to a further development of our un
equalled resources.
The adoption of the single rail railway
as proposed, it is said, will make a saving
of freight in grain movement alone of at
least sixty thousand dollars to the produ
cers. A condition of things equally un
satisfactory in relatiou to freights exists
in regard to our chief article of export,
cotton. “Every cent unnecessarily added
to the cost of transportation, is to that
extent a protection to the cotton planters of
India, against the cotton growers of the
the present standard road.
12th. A higher rate of speed can be
safely maintained, without any risk of
derailment, &Dd much less risk by other
accidents at all times, than on the stan
dard road, as at present constructed.
13th. The single rail railway has no
use for large gangs of track men and sec
tion masters, and others, many of whom
are “dummies,” depending upon “subs”
to do their work and furnish the brains.
A properly organized single rail railway
cannot find places for this class of drones.
A few practical men, with an intelligent
controlling central authority, to whom
economy is an object, because it is the
economies that reduce the cost of oper
ating and maintaining a road, is all
that is required.
Proposed Repeal of the Specie Re
sumption Act.—The Richmond Whig
says: “We have it from high authority
that the Chairman of the Committee on
Banking, the Hon. S. S. Cox, of New
York, will at an early day report a bill
proposing the repeal of the specie re
sumption act, though affirming the prin
ciple without fixing the date (this will be
judicious). The proposition will be made,
it is asserted, in the interest of harmony
and reconciliation of the Eastern and
Western Democracy. The previous queF-
tion will be called, debate cut off, and
the same tactics under which the Senate
resumption act was carried through the
House last January will be observed in
sending the adverse bill back to the Sen
ate. The movement, too, we are assured,
will be solidly in the interest of legal
tenders, and not in favor of national
bank notes.”
Speaker Kerr returned to Washing
ton Friday, much weaker than when the
recess began. He has taken the room of
the Committee on Post Offices and Post
Roads, which is convenient to the
Speaker’s desk and adjoining the
Speaker’s room, in order to avoid the
fatigue of ascending the long staircase
leading to the room occupied by ex-
Speaker Blaine. It is currently rumored
in Washington that he will be unable to
keep his seat, and several prominent
Democrats are already mentioned in con-
- nection with the Speakership pro tempore m

South.”
It is said there are several patents for
single rail railways, but none of them save
any expense for maintenance of way, and
but little if any for construction. They are
radically different from that now pre
sented, which is highly recommended by
well-known and competent railroad men
amt engineers, on account of its simplic
ity, great strength, safety and cheapness,
and when once constructed requiring but
a small sum per annum for maintenance of
way, a matter of great importance.
Without further comment, we make
the following extract from the pamphlet:
A single rail roadway, however, can be
constructed and equipped for less than
one-quarter the amount for constructing
and equipping a standard road, and can
be operated as cheap, if not cheaper, and
nearly the whole amount that is now paid
for maintainance of way saved. The
maintainance of way, that is the keeping
the road up and in good running order at
all times, is a very important item of ex
pense on all roads, ranging all the way
from -“$2,500 to $500 per mile per annum.
Taking the average for ali the roads in
the United States, it would probably
reach not less than eight hundred dollars
per mile per annum. With a road two
hundred aud fifty miles long, the main
tainance of way would not be less than
two hundred thousand dollars, and one
thousand miles long would be eight hun
dred thousand dollars; at a low estimate,
seven-eighths of which is saved by own
ing a single rail roadway.
The actual annual expenses of a large
number of the standard roads in the
United States, about equal the gross
earnings, and as paying institutions are
worthless; there are others that earn
enough to pay interest only on their
bonded indebtedness, the stock getting
no dividends, it being worthless only for
management. On all such lines the
single rail railway would pay large divi
dends, and it would be economy to recon
struct them immediately.
A single rail railway will pay largely on
an amount of business that would enable
a standard railroad to barely exist. The
single rail railroad is as competent to do
as much work as the standard road; and
a standard road that would cost twenty
thousand dollars per mile to construct,
can be constructed single rail for about
five thousand five hundred dollars; and
if it cost two hundred thousand dollars
to equip a standard road of one hundred
miles ia length, the same road recon
structed to a single rail can be equipped
for fifty thousand dollars to do the same
amount of passenger and touage business.
The remedy for ali the ills of the capi
talists in railroads, and for the producers
of freights away from the Atlantic sea
ports, lies in the single rail railway. By
its use commerce can secure low rates and
rapid transit, and capital safety, and be
remunerated equal to the best permanent
investments in the world.
The positive advantages of the single
rail railway are a decrease of capital at
least three-quarters, and decrease of
maintenance of way at least seven-eighths.
Tnis is brought about:
1st. By doing away with a large amount
of expensive earth-work and grading.
2d. No ditches, culverts or expensive
bridges to construct or keep in repair.
3d. No cross-ties to purchase, and
therefore no expensive replacing decayed
ties, and constantly surfacing up with
large gangs of section hands and eection
masters.
4th. The piles cannot be affected by
rains and floods; or by the winter freezes
and spring thaws in Northern latitudes,
or the road by snows—entailing extraor
dinary expense to keep a proper and even
surface of the rails, as is now the case on
standard roads.
5th. The single rail railway, with but
little care, will always be smooth, and
therefore be much easier on the rolling
stock as well as the iron, and can stand a
much higher speed without injury either
to the roadway or rolling stock, with no
danger of derailment.
6 th. For heavy work, roads can be con
structed with much lighter iron and at
least two hundred per cent, lighter cars,
and much lighter locomotives.
7th. The weight of rolling stock, com
pared with tonnage carried, is greatly
decreased.
8th. Steep gradients can be worked
with much less expense.
9th. D cuble lines of railway can be
constructed for less than half the cost of
-tion of tfc present etau Jard read
with single track.
10th. 'J no road v, y can be kept up as
good as new. for nbout one-eighth f the
nrefiorit cost of karc n* up the standard
load, as at preF-cit co&iir acted.
An Effort to Check Emigration.—It
is a penal offence in Germany, as it should
be, to entice Germans to emigrate by
means of false representations. A Berlin
letter to the London IVe?cs says that an
amendment to the German penal code is
pending, intended to check emigration
altogether, by punishing even true repre
sentations made to entice Germans to
emigrate, when such representations are
accompanied by any sort of encourage
ment. The measure already in force is a
very proper one; the measure said to have
been proposed would be altogether im
proper, but is fortunately one of that
kind of bad laws that defeat themselves.
When Germany has fewer wars, more
popular government and is not over
stocked with discontented people, there
will be little desire on the part of her sub
jects to try new countries.

Grant and Bristow.—The Washing

acquainted with the Grant-Bristow un
pleasantness I learn that, although the
feud between these two distinguished
gentlemen is not now at the boiling
point, that it still simmers, Bristow, fetl
ing that Grant acted as a check upon the

Bab neck and heels into the muss, to say
nothing of his stirring up a stench in un

distinguished nasal feature. But, how
ever matters may be between Grant aud
Bristow, I learned this evening from a
Senatorial source that Bristow has fully
determined to remain Secretary of the
Treasury yet awhile longer, possibly as
lonjfas he can get a chance.”
MISSISSIPPI politics.
Memphis, January 6.—The m Appeal's Jack-
sou, Miss., special says the modified resolu
tions ou Ames’s message were to-day
passed by the Senate. They charge that
Ames, actuated by a spirit of enmity, en
gendered by the result of the late election
and the defeat of his ambitious schemes,
insinuates, if not decidedly charges, that
the new members were elected by in
timidation and fraud, and appoints a*com
mittee to investigate the caun.es that
led to the late Democratic triumph, and to
obtain data of alleged frauds. In the House
Featherstone introduced a resolution to ap
point a committee of five to investigate the
official conduct of Ames, and ascertain what
grounds there are for the charges against
him of committing high crimes and misde
meanors, with instructions to report evi
dence taken soon as possible.
A GHASTLY DISCOVERY.
New York, January 6.—This afternoon
William Turker, a plumber, while at work in
the basement of a house in Browne street,
discovered five coffins, which are supposed
to contain the remains of five infants. The
room in which the coffins were fonnd is
occupied as a storeroom by Joseph Apple
gate, undertaker, aud it is supposed the
coffins were placed there by Applegate’s
drivers previous to burial. The Coroner
has been notified, and will investigate the
matter.
MONTENEGRO.

all the iron clads to be in readiness to start
for the Black Sea and the Albanian ports.

other candidates withdrawing in his favor.
Six years ago the Iumau steamer City
of Boston sailed from New Y'ork for Liv
erpool, having on board between two
hundred and three hundred persons. Af
ter touching at Halifax, where quite an
addition was made to the passenger list,
nothing more was ever seen of the vessel,
or any of those who took passage in it
Ever since that time the generally ac
cepted theory of the loss has been that a
collision with an iceberg caused the ship
to founder. But, now, by the explosion
of the case of dynamite at Bremerhaven,
a more horrible solution is suggested.
Investigations at all pointsare being made
to see if any clue can be formed to sub
stantiate the charge that the terrible, fate
which the Mosel so narrowly escaped was
to be but a repetition of that which car-
ried the poor mariners of the City of Bos-
tou to their watery graves.
Pardon Refused.—Governor Kemper,
of Virginia, has refused to comply with a
petition recently presented to him for
the pardon of William D. Coleman, for
merly editor of the Richmond Enquirer
and Secretary of the Board of Public
Works, who was convicted of forgery
some time since and sentenced to the
penitentiary for four years. After re
citing the history of the case Governor
Kemper says •
With very great deference and respect
for the five jurors and for the many legis
lators and citizens who ask the prisoner's
discharge, I refuse it in that spirit of
that even handed justice which treats all
alike, the high and low, the rich and
the poor, the great aud small, and which,
tempering the law with mercy, enforces
it with impartiality towards all.”
To overcome sectional objection to the
Texas Pacific Railroad as far as possible,
Mr. Atkins, who holds the second place
on the Pacific railroads committee, has
prepared a bill, giving the road three
eastern termini—New Orleans, Vicksburg
and Memphis. The western terminus of
the road will be at Marshall, Texas. It
is proposed to merge the Texas Pacific
with the three branches under a new
charter and push the work forward to
completion. The project will create con
siderable discuss.on in railway circles,
but it will hardly meet with favor. St.
Louis, and the other points slighted in
the selection of termini, will not regard
it kindly, at least.
There was some very plain speaking at
the meeting held in Charleston, S. C.,
last week to commend Governor Cham
berlain for refusing to sign the commis
sions of some of the newly elected Judges.
One speaker said :
“The only resort which the corrupt
majority can have is by impeachment.
If General Grant, the President of the
United States, thinks that Governor
Chamberlain ought to be impeached,
then, if he will erect the United States
flag over the State House, and station his
soldiery outside while that impeachment
is going on, it may be safely done. We
never intend to tight against the United
States again. [Cheers.] But if this Le
gislature, without that United States flag
floating over them, attempt to impeach
the Governor—well! I wouldn’t like to
be the insurance agent that held policies
on iheir lives. [Immense applause.]”

OPEN AGAIN!
The London Times Corrected. —The
Rev. Dr. Hoge, of Richmond, Va., writes
to the Loudon Telegraph repelling the
idea of the London Times that the Eng
lish gift of a statue to Stonewall Jackson
would be misunderstood in the United
States. He said the celebration had no
political significance whatever, and pro
duced no political effect, quotes from the
New York Tribune to show how correctly
it was appreciated at the North, and in
sists that the London Times had entirely
mistaken the design and spirit of the
demonstration. Dr. Hoge was the orator
of the day, and his correction of the
Thunderer’s stupid mistake is opportune.
Melancholy.—The editors of the Au
gusta Chronicle have been shown the fol
lowing letter, addressed to a Georgian by
Hon. Cassius M. Clay, of Kentucky :
White Hall P. O , Ky., >
November 26, 1875. )
My Dear Sir—My name will be pre
sen ted to the National Democratic Con
vention in 1H76, by my Stat«>, as the nom
inee for Vice President. I ask your fa
vorable consideration. Very truly,
C. M. Clay.
N. B.—The “inflationists” seem to have
“gone under” with Pendleton. C.
This characteristic epistle is not the
first proof that Hon. Cassius Marcellus
Clay has given the world of his insanity.
It has just been finally determined by
the courts of New Y'ork that theatrical
performances on Sunday wdre in viola
tion of law. It seems very unchristian
that such a decision should be necessary
to restrain such exhibitions in this coun
try, and yet it is very probable that there
are certain localities within our lines
where even the courts would be power
less, having no law under which to act in
that regard.
Boyalty Traveling Incog.—The Em
peror and Empress of Brazil will arrive in
New Y'ork in April. Their majesties in
tend to travel throughout the United
States incog., aud will give special atten
tion to the common school system, with
view of stirring up the Brazilians in an
educational sense when they get back
home.
It ip stated that McDonald, the Super
visor in St. Louis, now in jail awaiting
sentence, is a very active and prominent
Mason, and that as liis conviction of
crimes not in accordance with the teach -
ings of that order requires some action of
that body, a committee of the members
of the fraternity called upon United
States Marshal Leffingwell, and asked for
the privilege of bringing him before the
order for trial. As this was a novel and
unheard-of request, the Marshal informed
the committee that he had no authority
for the removal of the prisoner, and if
they desired to arraign McDonald they
would h%ve to hold court in jail.
Conservative Government in the
South.—A candid confession comes from
the Boston Globe (Republican). It says
that it is forced to conclude that at pres
ent it is better for tbe Southern States to
have the Conservatives in the ascendan
cy, adding that they give these States
far better local governments thau they
have ever had from Republican. Praise
from Sir Hubert is praise indeed; but
then, we don’t aee how Sir H. could have
uttered on this occasion other than
praise.
Demoralization in the Navy Depart
ment.—The well-defined intention of the
Honse of Representatives to cut down the
naval expenditures has been the cause of
considerable demoralization about the
Navy Department. It is said the Secre
tary, in his late extensive preparations,
has spent all his available funds, and, in
addition, gone into debt, and if Congress
pate the screws on it will cause him great
embarrassment.
Three hundred and eighty bills are be
fore the House of Representatives, one-
quarter of them in the nature of claims
on the treasury. This does not look
just right at the beginning of a reform
era.
According to Gov. Tilden, the taxes
have been raised from £4 90 per head of
the people, in 1860, to $18 91 per head
in 1870.
The colored Republicans of Washing
ton city duly met last week and resoluted
in favor of a third term for Grant.
A Yokohama letter to the Alta Calijor
nian says: “It appears that even eggs
are not eggs now, or at least not the kind
of eggs they purport to be. Six Japanese
have been sent to prison in Tokio, charged
with selling fishes’ eggs, neatly spread out
on cartons, for silkworm eggs. Surely
this is carrying adulteration into the re
gion of fine art.”
Suicide of a Newly Married Couple.
A double suicide occurred last Tuesday
night at Los Angeles, California. E. G.
Foster aud Celia Tooly, married the pre
vious evening, were found dead in each
other’s arms on the public street, from
strychnine. Another man had claimed
the woman as his wife, causing the act.
The woman has a sister in New Y'ork.
Everybody should be careful to give
prompt attention and rational treatment to
a severe cold, or a racking cough, as these
are commonly the chief primary symptoms
of a disordered state of the lungs,involving a
tendency to develop into a settled consump
tion. Persons of a delicate constitution, or
those having weak or unsound lungs, should
be especially solicitous to treat the earliest
symptoms of a cold, in order to head off
more dangerous complications; prudently
keep by you, therefore, Dr. Jayne’s Exp c-
toraut, that you may administer at once a
judicious curative during the first stages of
any throat or lung disorder, for not only
are special symptoms of these comDlaints
more tractable and easily controlled then,
but the general strength and tone of the
system has not had time to be seriously
affected, and is therefore more amenable to
the recuperative and healing properties of
the Expectorant. A little atteution to what
I may seem a trifling oold, may aave yon from
tbe fate of a lingering consumptive.
