Affairs in Georgia. The Eleven Able say that the reason the ,rerage Atlanta man keeps his finger-nails in mourning is hecanso he works so hard. w c wore of the opinion that it was the result of scratching himself. To the Macon Telegraph: Michael Hen- n-.y, in regard to whose fate yon made in quiry recently, was murdered at Millette Statiou, on the Port Royal Road, about a vesr ago. His plaoe of business was at Little • Hell Landing on the Savannah river. Any other necessary information can be ob tained by addressing Mr. P. H. O’Brien, of the firm of Gray & O’Brien, of this city. The Atlanta man who wrote and published , statement to the effect th it he would sign jnvthiug to help build up that city, has ap peared in the papers again. He says that no fair-minded man in the State, except the editors of the Mousing News and the edit or; ,:f the Milledgeville Recorder, want the capital moved from Atlanta. Read the pa pers, citizen—read the papers. . ffe can point to one agent of the bogus bonds in Atlanta, Eleven Able. Can yon point to one in Savannah ? If yon will care ful!)’ go over Hi Kimball’s letter to Bob Alston, which forms a part of the testimony in the state Road lease investigation, you will doubtless be convinced. Now go ahead, Eleven Abie, and let’s swap information. \Y. A. Shorter, of Atlanta, is prominently mentioned as a candidate for the next Legislature. He is said to be a brilliant young man. Tbo Eatonton Messenger says creosote is a rat antidote. Does Col. Gregg Wright, of the Augusta Chronicle, know that he is making persoual enemies all over the State, and more especi ally in Atlanta, when he endorses a quota tion to the effect that all posts are liars ? What is the country coming to, anyhow 1 General Toombs is in Atlanta, bullock, writing to the New York Herald, compares his flight to that of ex-G-overnor Jenkins and Treasurer Jones, who left the State carrying with them the funds in the Treasury and the seal of Georgia. The ef frontery of this comparison will be appre ciated when it is remembered that Governor Jenkins and Treasurer Jones were neither /hgitives from justice nor from Georgians. They placed the funds and the seal of the Stato out of reach of a contemptible military satrap in order to prevent them from falling into the hands of the very knave who now has the barefaced impudence to compare his rotten administration with that of Charles J. Jenkins. The Eleven Able state that Bullock’s bondsmen are “outsiders”—that is to say, not citizens of Atlanta. Mrs. Ross, of Dalton, shot a burglar the other night. He was traced several miles by blood on the ground. Rev. Dr. Harrison, of Atlanta, is seriously ilk The Darien Gazelle says : “For fear that some one has already misunderstood us we will state that the Hon. Thomas M. Nor. wood will be his own successor. We have not found a man, yet, who is opposed to his re-election. All those whom we have oon versed with favor him.” Somebody in Griffin, with a humorous turn, is sending out postal cards to persons in tkc country telling them that by calhng at certain places they will learn something important. A Pike county man was in Grif fin the other day on his way to fill an en gagement at tho Executive office in Atlanta. In Atlanta the other day a building oppo site that occupied by the Eleven Able Edi tors of the Atlanta Constitution caved in. We knew something would shortly happen in that neighborhood. Tho oat crop in the section around Thom- asville is said by the Enterprise to be the best ever made there. Two joints of a cow’s neok are on exhibi tion in Columbns. They were exhumed in a marl bed, where thoy had slept ever since the disastrous freshet in Muscogee some years since. The Buena Vista Argus also organizes a wratuid admiration society, as witness : “The Valdosta Times refers to the Savan nah Mousing News as the Morning Glory. That expresses our sentiments exactly. It is the glory of morning papers, and no mistake.” However, we admired tho Argus before it talked that way, as our files will show. The Air-Line Road having arranged a schedule from New Orleans to New York in sixty hour;, Wreun, of the Kennesaw Route, has anauged a schedule from New Orleans >oPhiladelphia in fifty-one hours. The Collier House at Indian Spring is open for the season. Board has been re cced and a string orchestra is employed to aid to the pleasures of the guests. The **1618 of the spring are pronounced the most efficacious in the country, and Col- fier’s bill of fare is the longest and the best. S. B. Hardwick, of Washington C( maty, is dead. in criticising “Julius Cmsar” as per formed by the Atlanta amateurs,Grady’s Sun- ;‘y Telegram felicitously remarks: “Their j cst actor of tho evening, according to our idea, was the kettle-drum.

We earnestly hope that he will not only be restored to his usual health, but that he will be able to go to Washington. at the commencement of the session of Congress in December next, that the Democracy and country generally may then have the ben efit of his wise counsels and eminent ser vices. Macon Telegraph: Mr. Josiah Ford ex- nibited at this office yesterday a large r ^ ama wheat, grown ou the farm *• Thompson, in the Warrior dis trict, Bibb county, which takes the palm over every sample we have seen the present season. It is about six feet in height, with remarkably long heads and plump kernels, was sown the first week in December, and will yield forty bushels per acre. The valley of the Mohawk river can hardly beai that. The same paper says : We have received from Mr. B. M. Rogers, of the firm of Geo. T. Rogers’s Sons, a mammoth beet weighing within a traction cf nine pounds, and grown by Mr. Joe Jelks, of Pulaski county. We are assured that this is but a fair sample of a whole aero of the same vegetable, and the specimen before us can be multiplied in definitely. In view of this astounding fact, Mr. T. II. begs that we may not call ia ques tion any longer that huge cucumber and gourd vine story of the genial Woods, who really believes that Pulaski can beat creatiou in the vegetable line. After the ocular demonstration afforded by this pumpkin looking beet, we think so too, and won’t charge our contemporary any more with pulling a “long bow.” Tbomaaville Enterprise: Notwithstanding the oat crop has been cut considerably short by the drought, and tho supply of corn in the country is unusually small, tho price of oats has ruled lower this season than during any previous year since the war. Bitty cents per hundred, in the sheaf, is tfie maxi mum price, while thirty cents per bushel is the ruling figure for cleaned oats. This, upon first thought, seems discour&gieg to the producer, and is calculated to engender a feeling of dread for the financial future of the agricultural community. This view, however, is an erroneous one. But for the fact that tho great stringency in monetary affairs partly produces this stato of aftairs, the low price of oats would be a most encouraging sign. No peo ple can remain distressingly poor for any considerable time when the prices of home made provisions rule unitormly low. Should the supply of corn and bacon the coming season prove, as has the oat crop, equal to the demand, the country would, for a time at least, bo on a sure foundation. Let no farmer, then, be discouraged or deterred in the future from growing home supplies. Whenever we reach the point at which pro visions are abundant and cheap, and not till then, will the country regain its prestige and peace and plenty abound. Sandersville Messenger : The joyful in telligence pours in upon ns from ail the sur rounding counties, that they will be here on the 26th, 27th and 28th of October next, with tail delegations to help us develop, in friendly competition, the vast and hidden resources of this section of our grand old State 1 All the Fair Association has to do to insure the greatest success, is to liber ally advertise the enterprise. Let the peo ple at home and in the surrounding coun ties know what a good time is in store for them, and never in tho history of Sandersville or Washington county, will they have seen such a turn out of the people. Hardly any of us are able to attend the Radical show at Philadel phia, aud we will all be rife to have a good time at home next fall. Clubs from adjoin ing counties will come in their private con veyances, bring their own provisions, and thereby be able to reduce the expenses of the trip to a mere trifle. We never, in the history of our Fair Association, saw such interest manifested by our own people hero in Washington. They hold out the hand of fraternal welcome to our friends from abroad, and promise to aid in every way to make the Fair next fall the grandest event that ever was seen in Middle Georgia. South Carolina Affairs. Court for Union county will commence on the third Monday cf this month. Hot weather, dull times and a scarcity of money are the rules in Camden these days. A well-known colored man named William Fox died suddenly in Charleston a few days ago from over-eating. The total number of deaths in Columbia for the week ending Saturday, June 3, was four—three of whom were white and one colored. 9 Frank Campbell, a colored man, while pulling a boat in a cut on James Island, fell overboard and was drowned Tuesday night. •Mr. William Taylor, of Mullins, Marion county, has invented and patented a ma chine to lift railroad engines on the track when off. Mrs. Piehuff, an estimable old lady, near one hundred years of age, died last Satur day, in the neighborhood of Boiling Springs Baptist Church, Spartanburg county. The Spartanburg and Union Railroad will soon be known as tho Spartanburg and Co- umbla Railroad. It is to be ruu from a point near Alston to Columbia. Colonel D. O. Hawthorn, of Due West, had the misfortune to loso two mules lately. He attributes their loss to the fact of his having fed them on barley with smut in it. Great dissatisfaction is said to prevail in Marion over the removal of S. J. Bethea, Esq., Ur. Dozier, and other Trial Justices, and the appointment of other persons said to be unfit for the places. Anderson is excited over the exorbitant freight charges of the Greenville and Co lumbia Railroad. The merchants of the place have concluded to organize a line of wagons to some point on the Air Line Rail road. The Columbia correspondent of the Charleston News and Courier asserts that there are between eight hundred and one thousaud ex-convicts of the State peniten tiary now living in Columbia aud immediate vicioity. The Governor has pardoned Roderick Poston, Henry Poston aud Joshua Collins, who were fined fifty dollars for selling liquor without license in Williamsburg county. Judge Shaw and Solicitor Atkinson endorsed the petition. L. Cass Carpenter gives notice that by or der of tho President of tho United States, on the 1st inst., he assumes charge of the Consolidated Revenue District of this State, which includes all the counties except Barn well, Beaufort, Charleston, Colleton aud Orangeburg. In the Cross Key neighborhood the rust ia seriously injuring the wheat. Reports from other sections of the county say the wheat is still fine, the rust being confined to the blade. Some farmers will commence cutting wheat next week. Many commenced cutting oats this week. Larkin Holloway, one of the negroes who was shot last week for the murder of old Mr. aud Mrs. Harmon, was one of the jurors drawn to serve at the November term of the United States Circuit Court to be convened at Columbia next November. It is now pretty certaiu that he will not serve. Holland Glover, one of tho convicts who escaped from the jail at Orangeburg on Tuesday night last, returned the next day and delivered himself to the Sheriff. He thought it safer for him. Two others of the gang took a different view of the chances. They stole a couple of horses and struck out for the West. A public mass meeting of the citizens of Pickens was called for Saturday, 3d inst., to take into consideration the propriety or im propriety of resisting by iogal meaus the payment of tho railroad tax. Executions have been issued in one case, and the prop erty of a few of the citizens have been sold under them. Seven of the gang of robbers confined in Oraneeburg jail made their escape on Toes- day night last. The jailor, it is said, is a candidate for the Legislature, and as the bars were cut from the outside it is thought ho had something to do with it. These pris oners were sentenced at the last term of the court for Orangeburg county to be sent to the penitentiary, but owing to the deplete,i condition of their finances, they could not he sent, as is the case here. On last Wednesday evening a citizen of T aureus county, Mr. Traynham Brownlee, wa“?ohnd defd in the" public highway about two miles from Laurensville P laoe ’ “° the Union and Spartanburg road. The deceased had been to Laurensville on busi ness but complained a good deal of feeling sick.’ He started homo some time in the afternoon and was soon after fiund dead by nagsing citizen.

Vienna, June 7.—In consequence of the remonstrance of the powers, all danger of a breach of peace by Servia is removed for the presem. Paris, June 7.—The Saltan’s proposition for a six week’s armistice is subject to movements necessary to maintain a concen tration of troops and the revictualling of Nicsie. London, June 7.—A Vienna dispatch to the Times says the united efforts of the powers might still succeed in making Sorvia respect an armistice if one was concluded with the insurgents. Prince GortschakofFs recent telegram cau tioning Prince Milan, of Servia, seems to be without effect. A Berlin dispatch to the Times says the Islok, the organ of the Servian Cabinet, de clares that war is unavoidable now that Turkey has triumphed and the programme of the northern powers been rejected. The Official Russian Incalide Bays the insurgents are not likely to accept an armistice. Special dispatches from Berlin to the Standard and the Telegraph say considerable uneasiness has been created there by the sudden return of Prince Bismarck from Lanrenberg for protracted conferences with the Emperor. The uneasiness is increased by the announcement that the Emperor’s de parture forEms is postponed. The Standard’s special says rumor connects these resuits with certain exaggerated claims made on Germany for support by Russia in her East ern policy, which Priuce Bismarck, it is re ported, is not inclined to sanction. The Post prints extracts from tho Cologne Ga zelle aud Berlin Tribune deprecating too close au adherence to the views of Russia. Ragusa, June 7.—Intelligence received here from Sclavonic sources states that Priuce Karageorgevic’s iegion defeated the Turks in the vicinity of Garkooko, in Bos nia, on the 3d of June, killing one hun dred aud sixty men. On the following day twenty-: three thousand Turks capitulated. Many insurgents have petitioned Austria to graut them an asylum, alleging that if they are refused they are in danger of star vation. Paris, June 7.—The Estefette reports the Russian army marching to the frontier. When it arrives at Pruth Servia will com mence hostilities. RESCUING FENIANS. San Francisco, June 7.—The steamer Colema, from Australia, reports that an American whaler rescued a gang of Fenians from Western Australia. The Colonial steamer Gingette has been armed and or dered in pursuit. New York, June 7.—Intelligence reached here yesterday of the escape of the Fenian prisoners confined in Western Australia. It Beems the plan for their escape was organ ized here, where the necessary money whs raised and the agent sent out to'lnanage the affair. The escape is stated to have been effected in au American ship. There were only seven men in actual confinement, but there were nine others liviug in Western Australia on tickets-of-leave. Whether these escaped or uot is unknown. CAPITAL NEWS AND NOTES.

McDuffie, awoke suddenly to find a negro man in her room, crouching near the bed, with his eyes intently fixed upoD her, as if trying to ascertain whether or not she • was asleep. She was so dreadfully unnerved that for some time she could make no sound, but at last she screamed, when the wretch’ leaped through the window and escaped. Owing to the shock the young lady has been in a critical condi tion of nervous excitement ever since. Suicide from Dread of a Whipping. A boy named Fairchild drowned himself near Mazeppa, Minn., through fear of a whipping from his father for a misde meanor at school. When his father was notified that his body had been found he went to the spot, gazed at the body, seemed greatly agitated, and went away. Neither he nor any of the family went near afterward, and the body was buried by the neighbors. The next day he car ried a grist of grain to the mill, came back by the burying ground just as the body was being interred, stopped and looked a moment and drove borne. An Assassin’s Work.—News has been received that Senator Twitched, who was shot some time since at Coushatta, Lou isiana. by a disguised assassin, and whose left arm was amputated at the time, was compelled to have his right arm cut off also. Senator Twitchell received two bullets in his left arm, one in his right, one in his hip, and one in the back of his neck at the time, bat is represented as cheerful and likely to recover. An important discovery has been made by a London physician, who was baffled by the sickness of a gentleman and his wife. They complained of nausea and vomiting, for which no ordinary causes could account. At last the despairing doctor examined the highly glazed, deli cate green calico lining of the bed cur tains, and found it to contain a large quantity of arseDic.

Keichum, District Judge for Western Pennsylvania; W. O. Hutchinson, Postmaster at Jackso villo, Ala., and John Tyler, Jr., Postmaster at Jacksonville, Fla. The Library Committee authorized Sena tor Howe and Congressman Clvmer to in quire as to the genuineness aud, if to the interest of the government, purchase from James Chestnut, of Camden, S.

In the sub-Judiciary Committee, ex-Sena- tor Rice testified that some shares in the Little Rock Road were assigned to him, he did not know by whom, that he might be come a director. He had nb knowledge of any transactions in reierenco to the Pacific Railroad receiving subsidies from the gov ernor, nt. Nathaniel S. Howe, Land Com missioner of the Little Rock Road, knew nothing of bonds that went to the Union Pacific Railroad. Quite a number of statements were made which verified the statements and representations in the House. The history of the Caldwell tele gram seems to be that ^lr. Knott found it at his house. It was headed “London.” When Mr. Knott came to the capital he showed it to Judge Tynu aud Mr. Mc Mahon and others. Before aud after the receipt of the dispatch, Kuott and Hun ton had made ineffectual efforts to obtain Caldwell’s address. Jt*^e Linde advised Knott that the dispatch had a suspicious look, and was not evidence. It was Knott’s intention to submit it to the Judiciary Committee to dispose of it as they pleased, but exciting events had prevented. There were many fierce looks exchanged between Knott and Biaiue, and nothing but Hunton’s cool manner of enforcing the rules aud decorum of tho committee room pre- veuted au exchange of fiercer words and probably blows.

The agreement be tween the powers which formed the basis of the former decisions aud the present situa tion in Europe generally justify us in our unwavering belief that their common ends will be attained with preservation of the peace of Europe.” Alluding to tho post ponement of Emperor William’s visit to Ems, the same paper says: “The Czar will defer his departure about a week, but it is certain the mouarchs will be at Ems to gether several days next week.” WASHINGTON WEATHER PROPHET.

Editor Morning Mews : The Republican party of Florida is claimed—by those who engineer it—to be the party of progress. These men say this organization should not be laid aside for any other: that under its manage ment the public credit was never before so good as at present; that the system of public schooD was never so perfect as it is just now; that the public lands are be ing rapidly disposed of to bona fide set tlers, and the State is being filled with unheard of rapidity by a class of thrifty, energetic and useful settlers from other States, and that the government is being managed by this party with honesty and true Christian-like fidelity to the public. Now let us see if these things are, any of them, true. As to the public credit, let us see that first, and upon the very threshold of the investigation, I ask everybody the ques tion—why should Florida require a credit of any kind ? Since the year 1868 and up to the present time, more money has been collected out of the people of Flor ida than ever before since the organization of a State government within its geo graphical limits. Upon investigation it will be found that, notwithstanding the impoverished condition of the people at the close of the war, which had entirely exhausted their worldly means—almost all their property of every kind had been sacrificed—a Slate government was organized, requiring double the amount of money to pay its expenses that was required to pay the ex penses of the old one. It did not require more than one-half the amount to defray the expenses of the old government that was demanded for the new one, organized by the Republican party in 1868; look at the figures aud see if it is not true. This money was demanded of the tax payers of the State and collected too, and who were the tax payers? It will not certainly be claimed by any ra tional man or woman that the Republican party paid the taxes, for this party was, and is now, largely composed of a non tax paying class. Nineteen-twentieths of the party that organized this expensive luxury for the people of Florida did not pay more than a third of the taxes. Yet, because, forsooib, au unheard of amount of money has been forced cut of the property holders of the State, by a mi nority of whites aided by a majority of colored people, who pay but a nominal tax, a sort of claim jure dicino is set up by them to the entire management aud control of the public interests partly because the State’s credit is good. It looks to me as being true, un der the circumstances, that those who have made the State’s credit what it is, are denied, not only the honor for having accomplished it, but they are ruthlessly set aside and denied and refused a voice iu the management and disposal of the money they pay into the pockets of those who pay nothing aud do nothing but col lect the money and spend it; that is the way the thing looks to me. I cannot but regard the claim to further trust by this parly on this point as fraudulent. Frauds are often perpetuated upon individuals, and it may so end that this great fraud may be perpetuated upon tho people of Florida. Now, let us look into the question of public schools, and see how that looks. The tendency of vagabondism is towards the villages, towns and cities all over God’s earth, and the same rule applies to Florida. Where do we have the best schools ? Well, in the villages, towns and cities. Whose children leap the greatest benefit from a system which has its best schools among vagabonds, vagrants, vandals, idlers and loafers ? Do not the children of these get the greatest benefit of such a system ? Well, who pays the school tax ? Do vagabonds, vagrants, vandals, idlers and loafers pay the school tax? We have twenty-eight schools in Suwan nee county, or thirty, as thecase may be, and we pay over twenty-seven hundred dollars as a county tax, besides the one mill State tax, to keep them going. We have five of these schools in Live Oak— oue-sixth of Ihe aggregate number. jDues Live Oax pay one-sixth of the tax, and if it does is this one-sixth paid by the people whose children are taught iu these schools? Examine this subject carefully all over Florida, and you will find it to be just like the other ques tions of credit—State credit. Those who have made the State credit what it is gat no honcr or profit for it, and those who pay the school tax pay it to teach other people’s children. I am not opposed to public schools or compulsory education. I believe that a parent who does not give a child such an education as is within his or her reach ought to be publicly whipped annually, but I want to see some equity, some fairness in the system—let those who pay the taxes have the benefit—the use—of their money. Don’t take money from those who have it and give to those who have none; this makes the rich poor and does not make the poor rich ; it is agrarianism—a result of the war—and should be aBandoned. The system of public instruction in Florida is a disgrace to civilization and that is the honor of it which inures to the party of progress in Florida. Y’ou rs, Fioubes. A F1F1H WARD BOY MURDER. One Yoons Life Suddenly Taken ami An other Clouded by a Terrible Crime. Andrew Moore, a newsboy, 13 years old, returned to his home at Iff) Vandam street, early yesterday afternoon, his teacher having granted him a half holi day for excellence in scholarship and de portment. He ate his dinner and, patting a fish line into his pocket, started down street, saying that he was going to buy his afternoon newspapers. He-sauntered down Hudson street to Laight street, and went up to the counter of Frank Dillon's little street oyster stand and asked for au oyster. It was given to him, and then he guessed that he would take a clam, as he was goiDg a fishing and wanted it for bait. He took the clam and, pulling out a long sailor jackknife, began to pry open the shell. Just then three boys—Frederick Law ler, fourteen years of age, Gilmartin and Hagen—began to annoy Moore, laugbiug and making grimaces at nim. The latter replied to them angrily, and drove them away. They ran round the comer, and still further incensed him by taunts and jokes. At length Lawler approached Moore and struck him over the head twice with a piece of roof felting. As the last blow fell Moore turned and drove his knife into Lawler’s breast. The latter staggered off, and Moore followed up his attack by driving the blade with a quick blow still deeper into the boy’s body. Then he pulled out the knife, wiped it, closed it, and put it into his pocket, and ; walking up to the oyster stand received the change for a twenty-five cent piece that he had given to the oyster man. ment between the Khedive aud the Otto man Empire is officially coutradicted. DBOPPED DEAJ). New Yobk, June 7.—Dr. J. C. Stone, a physician, dropped dead in Broadway to-day of heart disease, aged 65. FROST. Milford, Jnne 7.—There was a heavy frost here l ist night. The prevalence of lynching in Texas is astonishing. The Galveston Mews gives the particulars of seventeen instances occurring within two months. Most of the victims were horse stealers and stage robbers. The San ADtonio Herald says that in no other way, in the absence of enforced laws, could the lives and prop erty of respectable citizens be protected. A Boy Esoapes from Gipseys.—James Molone, a boy about twelve years old, belonging to Owensville, Gibson county, Ind., escaped from Gipseys at Lafayette the other day. They had abdneted him and compelled him to steal for them. They left town before they could be ar rested. Lawler fell on his hands and knees, and with the blood flowing ont of his wound he crept, gasping and writhing, round the comer, and died in less than two minutes on the sidewalk. As a multitude gathered, Moore started , to run, but he was stopped by a soldier of the Hudson street recruiting barracks, j He was delivered to Patrolman Boyle, of | the Leonard street police, who took him to the police station. Lawler's brother, who is older, keeps a newspaper stand across the street from Dillon's oyster stand, and when he saw that his brother had been killed, he ran excitedly into the crowd and seized the soldier, whom he supposed to be the murderer. Roth boys have borne a good reputa tion. Lawler helped his brother, and, it is said, was on his way to the stand when he was killed. The body of Lawler was borne to the home of his mother, at 34 Laight street, last evening. Less than a year ago an elder son was run over in sight ol his home by a dummy of the Hudson River Railroad.—N. Y. Sun. FIRE AT SEA. A Panic on nn Ocean Sicnmer. Jane Grey Swisshelm, in a letter from London to the Chicago Tribune, gives the following particulars of a fire at sea to which she was a witness: “We took passage ou the Egypt, which left New York April 1. Captain Grogan impressed me as peculiarly fitted for his place, and the ship as a marvel of strength, and of that beauty expressed in perfect utility. They inspired me with confidence, and I passed two days of sea sickness in the comfortable assurance that we were quite safe and making a splendid run, under a favorable wind and plenty of steam. “On Monday night we all retired early, and after half an hour of hard work one of our party had managed to change her clothes and get into her berth, while I sat facing the saloon and bolding on, trying to get my shoes off. It was half past nine, and every one had left the saloon except a girl and two young men, who sat talking near the hall door lead ing to our room, when we were electrified by the cry, ‘ Fire ! fire I the ship is on fire!’ More human agony never was compressed intc as many words, aud simultaneously with the cry there flashed down the saloon a wild, lurid light. We could see it an instant through the lattice work, and it was gone. The thought came, ‘Something may be done to extin guish the tire, and a quart of water now may be worth a hogshead ten fninutes hence.’ So I took up aiy water can and started, and on reaching the saloon saw that the flames were bursting out of the bath room through the partition, circling around one-half the ceiling of the saloon, and bending to the floor, against the shaft of the rudder, which divides it at the stern. “Four men—passengers—were fight ing the fire with carpets; but the parti tions are double, made of slats like a Veneiian blind, only that every slat is an inch thick and stands vertically. All was saturated and thickly coated with paint. These slats, and the lattice-work over the steam pipe, around which the fire burned fiercely, supplied so many air passages that smothering the flame seemed hope less. I poured my can of water behind this pipe, thinking it would reach the main body of the fire through the opening by which it had burst up, aud was en couraged to hope cn seeing that it extinguished the fire as far as it went; but the floor of the vestibule leading into that bath-room was a sheet of flame, and behind the closed door it roared and crackled. One of the men bade me stand back lest my clothes should catch. I did, as soon as I had emptied my can; then went to get more water and send messengers to the Captain. No one made an outcry, or spoke a loud word, but oh ! did not these four men work, as men only work for life, and without any confusion ? Most of the women brought water from the state rooms and passed it to the men, who hur ried up to help. The salooD began to fill with dense, black smoke. “The fire was extinguished after a twenty minutes’ struggle, and we learned that an oil can full of benzine had slop ped over from the rolling of the ship; that a steward had smelt it, gone in to see about it, and struck a match'to find him self enveloped in flame; then ran, noise lessly, down the saloon, with his clothing all ablaze, making the flash of lurid light which so alarmed me. “For the effort it cost me to walk slowly down the saloon and say to the women in the doorways: ‘It is nothing but a can of benzine.’’ I have paid by weeks of prostration. One young lady, from whose physical condition I would have expected a final stoppage of the motion of the heart under such a trial, was the first to reach the saloon, where she sat down quietly to await the issue. A frantic inotner rushed up, threw her infant into her arms, exclaiming: ‘Save my baby!’ and rushed off; and, fs she sat and held it, ano:h r rushed to her side, exclaiming: ‘Who will help me with my children!’ Still another rushed past, with clasped hands, dishev elled hair, face purple from checked cir culation, and her eyes wild with horror; but the girl whose heart has been threat ening for years to stop beating on the slightest strain, sat and held the baby, thinking: ‘Well, this is our last hour, but I am not going to suffer needless tor tures.’ Another invalid young lady got all the water she could out of her state room, handed it to the men in the saloon, had one step on her bare foot so that thc- bones.seemed crushed, sat down without a word, and wondered if her friends at home would ever know what became of her. “ No other vessel on the ocean will be less likely to burn, for they all carry ben zine to keep the paints bright. A ship that did not would fail to get passenger.; aud the men on the Egypt have a pretty good idea now about the nature of the article, while it is doubtful if one in ten on other ships know that benzine is even better for starting fires than for cleaning and drying paints. The British nation anchored one hundred and twenty boys out on the Thames in an old ship, the Goliath, to be trained in seamanship, and gave them a can of benzine to keep things bright. They managed to start a successful fire with it, and twenty of the boys were burned, with the ship, about two months ago; but the Admiralty have the proud satisfaction of knowing that ‘the boys behaved splendidly.’ An officer, whose business it was to aid iu investi gating the occurrence, told me so himself, aud no doubt the ship’s paint was as clean and bright as benzine could make it.” The Leutrai Pacific Railroad Ring. A petition, emanating from stock holders in the Central Pacific Railroad, has been addressed to CongTess, in which the managers of that line are accused of the most shameful swindling. The chief points of the petition are as follows: •‘The Central Pacific Road received from the United States and the States of Cali fornia and Nevada, and various counties and cities in 'California, no less than $125 ,000,000 in gifts and subsidies; and mortgage bonds to the amount of $27,- 000,000 have also been issued. Y’et the petitioners claim—and ask Congress to appoint a commission to see if they are not right—that the whole road could be built, as well as it was built, for $35,000,000. They enumerate defects which characterize the road-bed, the bridge work and the stations, showing, if co:rect!y stated, the willful neglect of the builders. They then explain the dis position of the vast sum alleged to have been received from the government, etc., over and above the actual cost of the line. The four managers, who have had absolute control of the road since it was chartered, organized two rings, composed of themselves or their confidential clerks or employees, to which they let out con tracts for building and equipping the road at fancy prices, the profits of which were divided among the managers. One of these concerns was known as the Con tract and Finance Company.” This looks like a repetition of the Credit Mobilier ring of the Union Pacific. The managers are also accused of having built or bought, out of the subsidies thus re ceived, and from the earnings of the Cen tral Pacific, certain branch roads and steamboat lines, most of which they hava consolidated with the Central Pacific, raising the authorized capital stock to $100,000,000, of whioh they have issued to themselves about $54,000,000, to which amount the petitioners aver they have no lawful right whatever. It is also charged that the managers are construc ting the Southern Pacific Railroad out of the resources and earnings of the Central Pacific, and claim to own it themselves, as well as the depot grounds, town site3 and sources of water supply along the line. If these charges are true, or even approach the truth, it becomes the duty of Congress to make an inves tigation, especially in view of the fact that the Central Pacifio, like the Union Pacific, is applying for legislation to re lieve itself from obligations which are believed to be fairly binding upon that company and the General Government.— Baltimore Gazette. The Hawaiian Job. [From the American Grocer.] Six months ago we described, and pronounced our opinion upon, the job known as the Hawaiian reciprocity treaty. We stated that this treaty was devised for the purpose of enriching a few capitalists who owned plantations in the Sandwich Islands, by creating a sugar monopoly in their favor, and that in its construction the good of the country at large was the remotest consideration occupying the minds of its advocates. We never pronounce so decided an opinion, especially where that opinion reflects unfavorably upon individuals, unless we have the fullest grounds far so doing, but, on the other hand, where we see wrong done or threatened we neither hesitate to point it out nor wait for the countenance and support of others before venturing to do so. Our single note of warning lias been taken up at different times as different per sons have shared in our convic tion, until the voices now raised against the passage of the Hawaiian treaty bill have become a choru-, and the views we expressed six mouths ago are endorsed by the undisguised sus picion of the country at large. We would not be so unjust as to accept un questioned the rumors that are afloat re specting the $300,000 said to have been paid to secure the passage of the Ha waiian treaty; those rumors hava been contradicted before the Ways and Means Committee at Washington, but we do ac cept the fact implied by them, and which is in no way altered whether they be true or false; viz., that the Hawaiiau treaty is eminently one of those jobs in the sue cess of which individuals are likely to have a pecuniary iuterest, otherwise such stories could not have originated or been circulated. Without commenting further on the atmosphere of discreditable facts with which this bill is at the moment sur rounded, we would ask whether legis lation which aims a blow at our native producing interests without promising anything but the most flimsy pretence of a corresponding advan tage shall be tolerated by the country, especially when it is surrounded by so many suspicious circumstances as this bill. The present is certainly not a time for imposing greater disadvantages on any class of our citizens than they are now suffering under. We would call at tention to the rice interest in the South, which, besides the other interests we have before mentioned, is seriously im perilled by the treaty in question. The threatened competition of the Sandwich Islands with the sugar and rice regions of the Southern States is not a matter that wo can afford to treat with indifference ; the Hawaiian rice crop, according to the tables of export furnished by the Bureau of Statistics, exhibits a remarkable growth, which promises to show a fu ture increase even in greater proportions. The following table shows the export of rice from the Hawaiian Islands for u number of years: Rice. Paddy. Total. 1865 154.257 263,705 417,902 1866 .... 438,367 438,367 1867 . 44L750 572,099 1,013^49 1868 4‘.450 862,954 903,404 1869 48,830 1,586,9.'>9 1,635,789 1S7J 152,068 535,453 687,52 1871 417,011 817,452 l,v.- 4.463 1S72 .. .. 455,121 894,382 1,349,503 1S73 . ... 944,438 507,94^ 1,449.381 1S74 1.1S7.9S6 439,158 1,627,143 1875 1,573,739 556,495 2,130,234 The exports of sugar show a still more marked and rapid development,risingfrom 554,805 pounds in 1865 to 25,080,182 pounds in 1875. To us the proposal to take off the duty following this marvelous development of production looks more than suspicious. Why the duty should be taken off iu the case of the Sandwich Islands iu particu lar we do not know. Will it benefit tin- country, or the few capitalists who own the plantations? And if it is a device on all manner of pretences, naval and inili !ary, to enrich a handful of speculators, regardless of the legitimate interests of the country, then the promoters ciu:l have, counterpoised the‘r lack of con science by an excess of audacity quite jihenominal even in these days. We uott that delegations from Louisiana, South Carolina aud Georgia are in Washington with a view to opposing the passsage c; the bill. We believe that the amount of public attention which the whole matter is receiving is something more than its promoters hove bargained for, and some thing which will be fatal to the succesi of their scheme for defending (?) the country and filling their pockets at tii- same time. A Question of Gold or Silver. From the St. Louis Republican.] Prior to I860 the larger portion of our national debt consisted of bonds payabh in greenbacks. But the’ first notable sc of tbo Grant administration was the ap proval of a law passed by the Republican Congress, changing these bonds from currency into coin, whereby the debt was virtually increased about $400,000,000 more than au honest construction of the contract required it to be. The act cf I860, which did this, was called an act to strengthen the public credit; it was an unpardonable and indefensible wrong ou the people, for it involved a gratuitous gift to the national creditors of four hundred million dollars which they were not entitled to and the peo ple did not owe. But even this does not satisfy them. Having secured the poin: that the debt shall not be paid in green backs, they now claim that it must not be paid in silver. By the terms of the al tered contract they are payable in “coin,” a term which clearly means gold and sil ver; but several oauses, among them ti c discovery of enormous masses of silvei in Nevada and California, and the de monetization of silver in Germany, have, within the last six years, largely aug mented the silver product of the world and cheapened its value. Silver is to-day quoted at par with greenbacks, that is, about 13 per cent, below the value of gold. It would make no difference, there fore, whether the bonds were redeemed, now, in greenbacks or in silver coin, sites either is as good as the other and no bet ter. If the government should set about buying and coining silver in large quantities to pay its bonds, silver would be Btill further cheapened and would probably go down to frO cents in greenbacks. But we are told that the government has no right to do this; that tho national creditors never expected to be paid in so cheap a money as silver has become; and that to force them to take heaps of silver, whioh would have to be moved by wagons, and which oould not be disposed of in large lots exoept at a discount, would be an act of bad faith cn the part of the government. Besides, it is added, silver dollars are no longer coins of the United States, having been practi cally abolished by an obscure act passed in 1873; and hence the bonds must be paid, not in “gold and silver,” bat in gold alone. It is a quesliou of some importance ; for there are $985,000,000 6 per cent, bonds outstanding, which the govern ment has the option of paying at its pleasure. The difference between pay ing these bonds in gold and paying them in silver is 13 per cent, on the amount— $128,000,000. If Congress should repeal the act of 1873, and thus revive the coin age of silver dollars, there would be no impediment in the way of paying this large proportion of the national debt m oheap silver, or, what is equivalent, forcing the holders of them to com pound their claims on a silver basis. There is no rule of honesty and no consideration of public credit that for bids this. A debtor is not bound to do more than the contract exacts; if he com plies with that, he doa3 his whole duty. The contract in this case calls for “coin,” which means gold and silver, leaving the debtor the option of paying in whichever is the cheaper meted. It is true silver has become a cheapened metal. Its usual value of 15 to 1, as compared with gold, has been lowered to 17.60 to 1; that is, instead of being one-fifteenth the value of gold, it is only abont one-eighteenth. Bat this is not the fault of the debtor; it is the result of causes that the debtor had nothing whatever to do with. The demonetization of silver in Germany has caused the o inand for' it in that country to oease, at ’ the discovery of die vas^ bonanzas in the Rocky Mountains abont the same time has very largely augmented the supply. Silver is regarded as a nuisance in California, in Canada, in England and Germany, and it is be coming a drug elsewhere. All thia is admitted ; but it does net alter the fact that onr national ' debt is fairly payable in this cheapened metal, and that under the contract the debtor government may claim this advantage. It ia easy enough to imagine that the facts might have been the other way, vast de posits of gold might have been discover ed that would have cheapened gold in stead of silver. Would the bondholder, in that case, have had the option of re jecting gold and demanding silver? Does the right remain with him of demanding payment in that one of the two metals which is most valuable? This is not the law of contracts. The option, if there be one, resides in the debtor, aDd it is he who may fairly claim the choice which the contract allows. Railroads. Atlantic and Gull K.
