Georgia Affairs. Mr. J. S. Padgett, of Chattooga county, met with a narrow escape from death while repair ing Clt s’horn & Wyatt's saw mill. He lost his footing and fell about twelve feet, and the large carry whevi and a heavy piece of timber fell upon him, injuring him severely. From the annual report of the School Com missioner of Chattooga county we glean the following statistics, which show that the cause of education is not neglected in that county. During the past year thirty-eight schools were in operation, twenty-nine white and nine color ed, an increase of six schools over the previous year. There were enrolled 1,133 whites and 344 colored, making a total enrollment of 1,477, and an average a' tendance of 840 pupils. These pu pils were taught at an expense of $1 37 per pupil per month, or *1,15080 per month for the entire number, anu for the school term $3,452 40, 50 percent, of which amount was paid by the State. Rome receipts of cotton since September 1st have been thirty-one thousand three hundred and «iteen bales, a a increase over the preced ing year of about five thousand bales. The building of a railroad from Harmony Orove, «*t Carnes* file, Franklin county, is seri ously agitated, and the Franklin Register, which endorses the enterprise strongly, says: "If the proposed road is built real estate in Franklin county will be enhanced one hundred I per cent.” The special criminal term of the Muscogee Superior Court convened yesterday. There are on the docket fourteen jail cases, fourteen mis demeanors. and ten felonies. Sixty-seven are under bond, fifty-seven of which fire misde meanors and ten felonies. Every store in Hamilton, Harris county, In which no one slept, was burglariously entered n Friday night last. The burglars after taking thecontents of the tills secured the most valua ble of the goods. The loss is not definitely known, but will aggregate a good round sum, the principal sufferers being Mr. N. H. Barden, Col J. H. Mobley and Mr. Tally. Peter (Gregory, of Oconee county, has a bo nanza in a fertilizer, that is, a deposit of muck in the bed of Oconee river, which runs through his plantation. A Columbus youth named Jack Slaughter Was run over and killed by the Mobile and Girard train on Saturday afternoon. He had gone over the lower railroad bridge for the purpose of get tings ride on a train of empty cars which were being shifted. He attempted to jump on the rear platform while the train was backing, lost his footing, fell on the track and the whole »r&in |»ss«d over him, killing him instantly. The Columbus Times reports seven failures in Eufaula, .Via., on Thursday last, the aggregate amount involved being about five hundred thousand dollars, the largest being a dry goods house, which went under for one hundred and ten thousand dollars. - The Rome Tribune has taken up Mr. Hill‘a side of the silver question, and in a long editorial endeavors to fortify that gentleman’s departure from the good money of the best days if th- republic All we have to say Is Jtat tht Tribune will have an up-hill business v tT ^. nK 10 Persuade Georgia 1 >emocrats that _I*id *8 right on this question.

His place of business is on Mulberry street, and on the evening mentioned went to his back yard to investigate a noise he heard, when he was shot at, the ball striking him in the right side. Fortunately he had in his inside vest pocket a large leather pocket- book, containing about one hundred dollars in bills, which the ball struck, and passed entirely through the last bill, lodging against the side next his body. He grappled with the person doing the shooting, who, after a considerable tussle, managed to escape. The mortuary report of the city of Macon for the past week ending Saturday, shows five deaths, of which three were white and two were colored adults. The Macon Telegraph and Messenger learns that the Central Railroad has wisely and gen erously extended an invitation to Macon and other Georgia cities to send two representative gentlemen, or merchants, each to Havana, that they may open closer relations with Cuba, free of all charge, save board upon the boats, which will hardly exceed twenty-five dollars for the rcund trip, and in order that ad vantage might be taken of the offer, a meeting of the merchants and business men of the city was held at the office of Messrs. Turpin & Ogden yesterday at four o’clock. The annual election for Commissioners of the village of Summerville, Richmond county, was held Saturday, and the following gentlemen were elected: H. H. Hickman, Henrv Moore, Thomas Heckle, William H. Jaillet, ‘James E. Thomas. The mortuary report of the city of Augusta for the week ending Saturday shows a total of but three deaths, two of whom were white and one colored. The Rome Courier learns that the following named citizens of Floyd and Chattooga counties have been awarded the amounts respectively by the Southern Claims Commission at Wash ington for property taken from them by the Union army during the war: Floyd County.— Obadiah Barker. $537 50; William A. Timbs, $235: Seaborn White, $495. Chattooga county. —William Berry, $555; David M. Christy, $364; Henry I* Coney, $371; Samuel C. Findley, $515; James H. Giireath. $501; W. H. Gilreath, $240; Peter Hens, $75y 75: E. T. Pledger, $256; Lewis Rheinhart, $672 5-) ; W. F. Trapp, $335. The Franklin County Register says: “The Savannah Morning News celebrates the new year by donning a new dress. The typographi cal appearance of the paper is now perfect. Without the News we would be perfectly at a loss, and we can cheerfully advise every man in Franklin county to subscribe for it." The total valuation of the taxable real estate of Columbus., according to the returns of the Assessors, just completed, is $3,195,175, aud of non-taxable realty $490,000. The figures show that the assessment of taxable property is $131,125 less than last year, $156,650 loss than 1876, and $106,700 less than 1875. There are about sixty individuals who pay tax on $10,000 and over. The Eagle & Phemx Company’s as sessment is the highest and JamesRankin s next. There are about seven colored persons who own property assessed at $1,000 and over, the highest reaching about $3,000. Speaking of the festivities of Christmas day. the Meriwether County Vindicator says: "Christmas clay whisky flowed down the throats of our citizens in a continuous stream, and to wards night some of the drinkers became quite hilarious, but no fights or quarrels occurred. We heard some loud cursing on the lower side of the square Christmas morning that sounded threatening at first.but harmonv prevailed after a short time and no blood flowed. Arthur Millen, colored, was placed in jail at Greenville, Merriwether county, last Sunday, charged with burning the gin house of Mr. Dunlap at Rocky Mount. It is reported that the negro has acknowledged setting fire not only to Mr. Dunlop's gin house, but also says he hail & hand in the burning of the gin house and mill of Mr. Parkman. A corresixmdent of the Athens Tri-Weekly Bantter exultiugly says of Oconee county, “that it is the best county in the State to her age and ahead o!-*6ome which are only a half century her senior. She can pay all her debts and have left in her treasury the round sum of one thou sand dollars, and besides the good condition of the county as a county, then' are a great many of her citizens who are well supplied wifh all fann products necessary to subsist upon an other year." The Fairlium Star says: "The first issue of the Daily News for the new year comes to us enlarged to nine columns, and much improved in every particular. Always one among the l>est dailies in the State, it is safe to pronounce it now one among the best in the South. It is so clean, bright and neatly arranged—a model of beautiful typography and interesting con tents." The Dublin Gazette says: "On Wednesday Mrs. Dominy, wife of Mr. S. Dominy, living about seven miles from town, drank a small quantity of whisky from a bottle from which others had been drinking, by which she was soon thrown into convulsions. Dr. R. II. High tower, of this place, was sent for in great hast** and did all that medicai skill could do. but with out avail. The remainder of the liquor when shaken was of a white milky Appearance. Dr. II. decided that the death was caused by poison, but to make the matter doubly sure he brought the bottle to town and gave a portion of its contents to a cat which died in a few minutes. Dr. Hightower says it was strychnine. The com munity ere much distressed about it." The LaGrange Reporter says: "Last Friday night, as the down freight train was passing MU John O. Pitts' place, about two and a hair miles below I.aGrange, one of the car3 got off the track, fro’rh w>me unknown cause. The car just behind it ran imo ii— ‘telescoped it.’ as the papers say. Three tramps, it seems, were steal ing a ride on the two cars whiph came together. Two of them were seen walking rapidly down tho road, as the train hands hastened to the dis aster, but the third never lived to tell the tale. b\ tbe collision of the cars, both of his legs, his right arm and his head, were cut entirely off. and the remaindnr cf his body was pushed far iuto the forward car, aud tfce intestines crushed out His mangled remains were gathered up tual brought toLat}range for burial. Tiieie was nothing or. his person to indicate who he was. In his pockets were found a varnish brush, a lead pencil, a spool of thread, a pipe, a scrap of newspaper and twenty-five cents. , He was per haps thirty or thirty-five years old. had dark hair and whiskers, was rather tbra-visagrd, and apparently a little over medium height. His head could not be found till next morning. The Atlanta Constitution says: ‘ We learo that the public schools were never so full as now In all the lower grades the clauses are so full that no new pupus can be admitted. Over two hundred are now waiting for admission. The attorn inodationa should be enlarged and all pro- vided for.” The annual elu-tioo of the Macon Vohl2 f een took place on Friday niftht a! the armory of the company and the following officers were elected : W.'W. Carnes, Captain; G. C. Conner, Hrst Lieutenant: A. L Butts. Second Lieuteu am: F. S. Johnson, Jr., Third Lieutenant: E. D. Hugnenin. Firs! riergeant: A. E. Boardman, Second Sergeant; J. P.

D„ Chaplain, ’* The Macon Telegraph and Messenger says. “Mr. D. P. Askew was brought before United Stales Commissioner M. E. Freeman Friday, charged with the offense of violating the United States postal laws. The government was represented by District Attorney H. P. Farrow, of Atlanta, and tbe defendants by Messrs. Whittle & Whittle, of this city. After consultation, counsel concluded to waive examination, xml bond was given in the sum of five hundred dollars lor Mr. Askew s appear ance at the next session of the United States District Court at Savannah. " ■e*, n... Int last under vwy mysterious The Bollock Trial. After the closing of the testimony on Saturday. Mr- Hiil spoke until the court adjourned fpr dinner (at one o clock), re sumed his argument at two o clock and closed at 3:30 o’clock, having consumed two hours amt a half in discussing Bul lock aud his career, and the circum stances which linked him with the Kim balls, who were said to be bad men and had an •’Opera House" to sell. Judge John L. Hopkins, for the ac cused, followed Mr. Hill in one of his ablest «ud most compact arguments, during which he read several important official documents, and made a very searching analysis of the testimony in the light of these unchangeable official re cords. Judge Hopkins spoke until after five o'clock, and at the conclusion of his masterly argument the court adjourned to Monday looming. . , . The attendauoo since the first day has been small, as the strongest evidence, which came first, showed that the ease would not be one of much interest to spectators. Jud-W George Hillyer has conducted the trial with marked ability, and in every wav protected the rights of the accused, and guaranteed to him a fair aud impartial iriai. The jury, under proper caution, are kept in the custody of an officer of the court, and in every wav removed from outside influences. Yesterday Attorney General Ely and Colonel Willis Hawkins spoke for the State, and Judge McCay and General Gartrel! for Bullock. As will be seen by our Atlanta dispatch the case occupied the entire day and will go tq the Jury to day, when it is expected a verdict of ac quittal will he rendered. Wm. E Chandler declares that Pack ard and Chamberlain made Hayes Presi dent, and then naves ” trampled them down.” Chandler thinks this 3, n outrago upon justice. And so it was. To merely ‘ ‘ trample dowx a scoundrel that ought to bo hanged is the worst sort of an outrage upon justice.—Courier. Journal. If this sort of thing goes on much longer it will be in order for the railroad ’buses to call round regularly at the banks, insurance offices, Excise Depart ment, etc., and for the porter to voci ferate lustily; “Ail aboard for Montreal.

London, January 7.—Pierce, Davis & Co., timber merchants of Liverpool, have failed. Their liabilities are estimated at seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Robbery in Broad Daylight. At noon on Wednesday, as a clerk of Mr. James II. Young, a broker and mer chant, was sitting in Mr. Young’s office on the second floor of No. 4 ( J Nassau street, New York, engaged in cutting coupons from bonds, two well dressed young men, who wore tall silk hats, en tered the office and told Mr. Young’s clerk that a lame gentleman, who excused himself on account of his infirmity' from coming up stairs, was in a carriage at the door of the building, and wished to see him on important business. Mr. Young’s clerk considered the visitor a friend of the lame client, and, leaving the bonds, and the desk and the safe, in which were seven to eight thousand dollars in money and from seventy thousand to eighty thousand dollars in securities, open, he went down stairs after closing the door of the office, and suspected nothing, as a lame gentleman with whom he was ac quainted was in a carriage in Nassau street, and after a few minutes’ conver sation with him Mr. Young’s clerk w’ent back to the office and discovered that it had been robbed of money and securities worth in the aggregate one hundred thousand dollars. The thieves escaped with their plunder, and up to last accounts had not been ar rested. They are believed to be the same men who robbed Admiral Walke of $11,000 in the Seaman’s Savings Bank in Wall street three weeks ago. A Tenement House Scene in New York. On Sunday night Mrs. Mary Ayers a widow, agei tmrtv-nine, went to the house of an acquaintance named Mrs. Anne Hewitt, who resided with her hus band and two children on the third floor of a tenement house at No. 463 West Sixteenth street, fgr the purpose of seek ing lodgings for the uiflfet. Hewitt was willing that she should remain, but his wife ordered her to leave. After some altercation Hewitt and his wife came to blows, when Mrs. Ayers interfered, and attempted to separate them. Mrs Ayers’ interference only enraged Mrs. Hewitt the more, ami * kettle of boiling wa ter which waa standing on ..." ■‘tot e, she threw it over Mrs. Ayers, scalding her severely about the he;.d, face and arms. Mrs. Hewitt then refused to allow Mrs. Ayers to leave her apartments, and kept her locked up in a room until last night, when she managed to escape and notify the Sixteenth Precinct police. Officer Marsh was sent to arrest Mrs. Hewitt. Entering the rooms of the Ilewjtts he found both the husband and wife under the influence of liquor, aud two twins, fifteen months old, lying on the floor half naked and nearly starved. Both husband and wife were taken to the station-house and locked up, Mrs. Hewitt, for assault ing Mrs. Ayers, and her husband on a charge of cruelty to children. Mrs. A vers was taken to the New York Hospi tal where the physicians state that she r die —B will probably - World A young Brooklyn thief has found a new way of swindling. He io the son of a merchant tailor and kept the run of his father's customers. He wrote his own orders upon the unsuspecting customers as coming from the tailor to send by bearer certain specified clothes to be re paired and cleaned. The customers gave up the clothes, and the messenger for the shop either sold or pawned them, as the market was best. In this ^way he stole and disposed of $5,000 worth of property before he was discovered. Then ' his father had him arrested and lo ked up for larceny. He refuses to have anv mercy on his son —and goes in for uotempored justice. The boy had years previously run away from home ’and gone to sea to escape arrest for stealing. When he had gone to China and Australia and California and around to New York, his father re fused to have anything more to do with him and this was his revenge. He i« wanted by the police in several cities in the route of his tour around tbe world. In Washington city, about one o’clock Thursday morning, E. J. Parker was lounu near the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Freight Depot with his head badlv cut, both wrists broken and his hands and body badly braised. It is thought he cannot recover. He stated that he met a man ou the street and went into a saloon with him to take a drink; that he was struck on the head, robbed of $50, and dragged out on Pennsylvania avenue. After that ho could give no ac count of hiroself until found at the de pot. It is thought, however, that Parker received his injuries by falling from a train. The other evening the members of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Alps held a meeting to decide whether or not they should lock the pastor out. After prayer one brother aimed a blow at an other brother, and, missing him, knocked Sister Cummings down, breaking three of her ribs and inflicting other dangerous injuries. After the brother in question had been rescued from the other brethren, who wished to lynch him, the benediction was pronounced and the meeting adjourned.— Keic York World. » BEN HILL’S NEW DEPARTURE His Coarse or the Financial Question Condemned and Repudiated by the Presa. HOT MAST FOLLOWERS. Columbus Enquirer-Sun. This is about the whole of it. All his propositions have been and can be easily answered, but this is enough for one is sue. The House has passed the silver bill, and it is regarded certain the Senate will do the same. We are of the opinion that Mr. Hill in his views has not many followers in Georgia, the South, nor West. FEW FOLLOWERS. Griffin Daily Xeics. Mr. Hill and his financial views have but few followers in Georgia, the South nor the West. The people are tired of Wall street and the bondholders control ling Congress in favor of the money kings, and to *the ruin of the poorer classes. The time has come when the laboring men want some of their rights protected by the law making power of the country, as well as the rights of the capitalist and money loaner. THE LOVELY BONDHOLDER. Fairbum (Ga.) Star. The lovely bondholder’s interests must not be tampered with, because that would lower the national credit, and this would J>e a most lamentable disaster in the eyes of the far-off-seeing Ben Hill. Let the currency be contracted until the poor man cannot get enough money to buy his salt and pay his taxes; but inflation must not be thought of lest it work in jury to the immaculate bondholder and destroy the credit of this glorious coun try. Nine-tenths of the people of the South and West will scout Hill's position on the financial question, and he knows it. MR. HILL’S FINE-srUN ARGUMENTS. Rome Daily Bulletin. If Mr. Hill had been in Georgia the past few months and could have seen the general stagnation of business, the de preciation of every species of property, and seen also that’ the country was full of products to sell, and no money to move them, he would not have asked that question. Everybody can't give their services to the United States Senate to get the money, but they have their hard earned products, but no money is the cry. and contraction is the cause, Mr. mil with his tine spun argument to the contrary notwithstanding. Practical experience is better to judge by than the opinion of any one man, if he had double the reputation that Mr. Hill has as a financier. MR. HILL AND THE BONDHOLDERS. Rome Courier. Whv Mr. Hill lays so much stress upon the idea of not wishing to impair the public credit is a question that we would like f o see answered. That the payment in coin of the interest of bonds which themselves are payable in coin can in any wise impair the credit of the govern ment is more than we can discover. True it is that if the holders of the bonds have been led to believe that their interest would lie paid in gold, and gold is worth more than silver, their bonds would not be so valuable if the interest should be tendered in silver. At the time every bond was issued silver was being coined, or could legally have been coined, in pieces of some denominations, and silver was as much a coin of the United States as was gold. And the promise was to redeem in coin, not gold alone, and there can tie no just im putation of wrong on the part of the government if every dollar due, both as principal and interest, is paid in silver aDd coin. The Senator’s objection to coining silver because the silver does not belong to the government, and that some one will have to be paid for it, applies with equal force to gold, for it is mined by individual effort, and is the property of him who extracts it from the earth. The argument, it seems to us. is unfair, for the authority vested in Congress to regulate coinage gives to Congress just the same right to say that so much silver shall represent a dollar as that so much gold be equivalent to the same amount. A BAD CASE OF TRIMMING. Xashville American. Ben Hill’s leaning towards the Eastern financial views is not remarkable, because Mr. Hill has always been gifted in the way of surprises. It is not astonishing to any one who has followed his career, in both the Confederate and Federal Con gress. It is a defective mental balance of some kind leads Mr. Hill off at a tan gent at the wrong time. It was Halifax who acquired the title of “ trimmer," because he always saw a coming move ment and embraced it before the turn of the tide. Others could never see what he was turning for until the tide came afterwards rolling along after him. Mr. Hill is exactly like Halifax, in foreseeing the coming turn df the tide, and he only differs from him in that the turn he expects never comes. Owing to some defect in his generaliza tions he is prone to fall sfiort or go lie. vond the real movements, in pursuit of a phantom. In going astray after tiie East and its extreme hide-bound financial views, Mr. Hill has made a mistake. Tbe real muTSHtcnt iu this country, in which there is going to be life and vigor, is go ing to be a union of the W cst and the South upon certain common interests Pnd natural advantages common to the twu sections. The growth in national great ness and wealth, and increase in national vigor and power, is to come out of that intitqato union of these interested parties, which is necessary to make practically available the great natural advantage's arising from position, water facilities, re sources and commercial advantages. There is no sectionalism in this. It is the broadest nationalism. It is the effort to develop to the highest degree natural ele ments of national wealth and greatness. The financial questions have sufficed to bring the West and South together. If it lie granted that extreme views have prevailed in the West, it must at the same time be granted that only an opposite and more fatal extreme view at the East, which imperatively demanded correction, has been the cause of ail extremes of opinion at the West. It cannot be said 'hat the practical legislation demanded by the West and South upon these ques tions is extreme. Mr. Hill, then, makes a fatal mistake in embracing the Eastern extreme financial opinions at a time when the West and South are coming together in such a way that they will not be likely again to be divorced. Having once discovered, in an accidental union, that there is strength in their combi nation, and that they have an identity of interests, with not a single point of conflict that can disturb their future har mony lu working together for the devel opment of common resources, and mak ing available mutual advantages,they will not faU asunder. There is no serious question to arise that can possibly divide them. Social conditions, diverse politi cal and social views, prejudices, have kept them asunder in spite of a commit nity of interests and a similarity of natural conditions. In origin and sym pathies, philosophy, sentiment, prejudice the We6t has been held closely in alliance with the East. It has always been, how ever, only a question of time when simi larity of physical conditions, productions, commercial advantages, transportation, would bring' together and keep them closely allied, In stepping out of line Just at this time and embracing extreme financial views, Mr. Hill is committing a grave blunder and following a phantom of a move ment which he thinks he foresees, but which will never come. The great ques tion of the futuro will ho the common industrial, commercial and transportation development of the West and the South. Tale of a Goose.—It is an inmate of the Halifax Puhfic Gardens, aud when ever a certain gentleman appears leaves the pond to press to him, sit at his feet, and follow him round like a dog, having to be forcibly prevented from going after j him Into the street. As he has never fed or petted it, and as a couple of years ago a stranger used to pay the bird marked attentions, the supposition is that it is a case of mistaken identity. MB. HAYES’ BED OF THORNS- The De Facto President Appealing for Partf Harmony. New York Sun. Some of the friends of the de facto President are making strenuous efforts to convince Senator Conklins that there is a way yet open to reconciliation. These arguments are heard with Conkling’s habitual courtesy, but they make no im pression. He knows that there is no possible ground of compromise on which Hayes will meet him. He will accept nothing less than a complete reorganization of the Cabinet, which would be a virtual confession that the first year of the fraudulent administra tion was filled with great blunders. Evarts, Schurz, Key and Sherman must get out of the Cabinet, and Republicans who are in sympathy must succeed them, and control absolutely the policy of the de facto President. On no other terms can there be an adjustment. There is no doubt about the -erious fright w'hich Chandler’s manifesto has given, not only Hayes, but John S! rman also. Hayes, however, is not res f y to surren der just yet. Two Republican Senators, who visited the White House formally on business, were invited to-day, by Hayes, to a long private conference. Both of them were and are staunch supporters of Conkling. One of them went to the White House with one Shaughnessv of Mississippi, who had a story to tell about his recent persecutions in that State at the hands of Democrats. Haves listened patiently to the story, and said he would do whatever he could in the matter, but cut short the interview by inviting the Senator to go with him to his private room and have a long talk. The Senator was surprised because he has been one of the firmest op ponents of the de facto President’s policy in the Senate. After they reached the private chamber* Hayes began to flatter his visitor with compliments about his known fairness aud honesty of purpose, and then said that he wanted to talk plainly about the points of difference be tween himself and Republican Senators. He l>egan by explaining the reasons which influenced him to pursue the course he did toward the Republican gov ernments of Louisiana and South Caro lina. It was simply the old story over again. At this point a card was brought in. It was from another Western Republican Senator. Hayes asked his listener if he had any objection to the new comer l>eing brought into the private council chamber. He answered “No,” and Hayes directed Senator number two to be brought up. Then the de facto President went over his defense of his Southern policy a sec ond time. He complained very bitterly of the Chandler letter, especially of that part relating to the dismissal of cases against the Ellenton(3. C.) rioters charged with murdering negroes. lie denied that he had anything to do with the dismissal of these case*;, and • said the Attorney General was solely responsible for that. He, however, had nothing to say m re gard to the more serious charges Chand ler makes about the counting in business in New Orleans. He did not mention the charge of bargaining with Southern Democrats. He criticised the Republican Senators who opposed Hallan’s confirma tion. He said Harlan was a Southern Republican, aud if Senators were so much concerned about Southern Rcpub- cans they ought to have been glad that Harlan was made Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. They were incon sistent again, he contended, in opposing the confirmation of Judge Baxter, of Tennessee. He made no allusion to the New York appointments. He defended his civil service order, and said it was modelled on one written by Daniel Webster when he was Secre tary of State. He admitted, however, that it did the party organization injury, and said that it was construed unfairly. He did not mean it to be so strictly con strued. His most important statement was to the effect that he was wedded to no particular policy, but was willing and ready to change to-morrow his opinions of to-day if he was satisfied he was wrong. * He said he did not mean to desert the Republican parly. He was as f ood a Republican as anybody could be. here was no necessity for a rupture, he said* All difference could be cleared away by friendly talks. Let us reason together, he said, and agree to reconcile our conflicting opinions if we can, but in no case be enemies. The impression Hayes created upon his two Senatorial visitors was as follows: They think he is amiably obstinate, and has great confidence in his ability to talk people round. They do not believe that he is ready to give in, but he is evidently not anxious to renew the fight with Conk ling. They believe he wants to conciliate personally as many Senators as he can, and they suspect that there is an oppor tunity for a trade If a few Senators on the Republican side are so disposed. As an evidence of the growth of the opposition to Haves in the Northwest, a Republican member of Congress to-day received a letter from the Chairman of the Republican State Committee of Wis consin, in which the following language is used; “\ T ou must go on in the fight against Hayes. Every Republican in our "State is with you. Ilaves has brought our par ty to the brink of ruin, and we want no more of him/’ How Conscience and a Crowd of Boys Made a Coward of one Barghauser. Thursday evening a man with his hat pressed tightly to his breast ran Into the fish market of John Stucks, Wythe ave nue, Brooklyn, New Y’ork, and asked to be protected from a crowd of boys who were following him. He said he was a rich man, and offered the fisherman the sum of one hundred dollars for protec tion against assault and robbery. Stucks immediately closed the door, and detained the man until he had notified officer Fcterenbaum, of the Fifth Precinct. Tho latter took the stranger io the station house, where the sum of two thousand seven hundred and thirty-nine * dollars was found in bis hat and two checks for one hundred dollars in his clothes. Pressed for an explanation, he finally ad mitted that he had stolen the money from Urban Kneer, a merchant doing business on Houston street, New Y’ork. He gave his name as Christian Burghauser, and said that he was a shoemaker. Boon after the arrest Mr. Kneer called at the station house and identified the man as one of his customers. The man, it ap pears, had gone to Kneer’s shop, seem ingly for the purpose of making some purchases. Kneer was called away to another part of the building, and on fiis return found that Burghauser had disap peared, taking with him the money which had been left on the counter. Barg hauser is supposed to have been either in sane or under the influence of liquor. A young gentleman of Prairie Grove, Texas, proposed to his lady love, but was gently refused. He went a second and a tnird time with the same roauli. But at length be rode over one evening and told her he would neither eat, sleep nor speak until she consented to become his bride. She invited him in to dinner; he shook his head. She talked on; he merely lo cked dejected. Then she requested him to take supper. A negative shake of tho head was the only reply. She played, sang and chatted until bed time, when a servant showed him a room; a negative shake. She tripped away to her cham ber; ho sat determined still. About 13 o'clock shfc came back and said, “ I don’t wish to £ause the death of a good officer, so thrill marry you. ' -iue released one rose, and with much earnestness said, “ Mv dear, have you any 'old victuals on hanu?” piker as a full lea&i tender is a swindle, of course. The organs of the bondholders made this oisoovery a year or two ago. But nearly three-fourths of the iithabitauts of tbe World so use it. It is a species of swindle the people of the United States took to very lundly for eighty years, and are determined shall be again perpetrated. —Memphis Araloneke. A TWELVE HOURS’ WALTZ. Professor Cartier Extending hi. Tireless Labors Almost Past Be- lief. From the -\>?c York World. Professor Cartier, the voting and agile dancing master, who astonished New York last spring by waltzing five con secutive hours, and who has since re mained in a state of slide and spin for six and even seven hours at a stretch, jumped at noon yesterday into the mazo of a redowa waltz, bent upon remaining therein twelve hours. He did this probably because Professor Baron a few weeks ago waltzed eight hours. Just as tho clock struck noon the Pro fessor seized upon the graceful person of Miss Sadie Leoboldti and sailed serenely out upon the slippery floor. He was dressed in a faultlessly fitting evening suit His partner, who was a petite young person with glossv black hair, ‘‘banged” in front and flowing uncon fined down to her waist 1 chilli 1, wore a brown poplin dress which exhibited a pair of pretty feet that twinkled as gayly as the Professor’s own dainty ones. The Professor had offered a medal for the lady who would dance longest with him. An hour passed, and still the patient little feet of the slioyt frockeri miss wan dered musically over the waxed floor. At 2 o’clock she gave it up. Miss Lcua Van Rattan, also a small person with chestnut hair parted on the side, was ready, and before any one knew it she was in the Professor's embrace and whirling away. The orchestra—of a pi anist and fiddler—was lieginning to show signs of well-earned fatigue, and Strauss would have tom his hair at the melan choly manner in which they interpreted him. M. Cartier, however, had provided a whole staff of assistants, and from this time on to the close there was an inces sant slipping off of the piano stool of one fagged musician and a slipping on of a fresh one. For just two hours and two minutes Miss Van Rattan kept up with her elastic and supernatural partner, and even then released him with evident regret. Her elder sister, Miss Sophie Van Rattan, fol lowed her. It was now four o’clock, and the audience, which at the lieginning had lieen large, seeing that the Professor was thoroughly wound up and certain to run till evening at all events, went out for its supper. The musicians quickened the music, but the Professor merely rose a little on his toes and skimmed over miles of waxed floor with a sad, sweet smile. Miss Van Rattan bent her head till her nose rested on bis sleeve, and bravely tripped past the mile posts with him, un til finally, lifting a pair of humid eyes, made tender by fatigue, she gave a little scream of fright at sight of the man's cool, impassiouate face, for, like some infernal clock-work machine, he was dancing the breath out of her graceful body. She had danced only an hour and eigh'een minutes, but at once gave up the medal. The Professor regarded her sadly as she was led away fluttering like some canary bird that had foolishly flown into a pop-corn shaker instead ’ of its own peaceful cage, and hoarsely called for a wine glass of beef tea. This was the first mouthful of either food or driuk that had been given him since he began his amusement, and an occasional cup of the same lieverage, with a swallow or two of coffee, was ail that he had from noon to midnight. After Miss Van Rattan came Miss Emily Ashe. There was nothing in the appearance of this young lady to warrant the supposition that she was tireless ; she took hold of the machine rather tim idly it seemed, and for the first few mo ments after it hail got.her iu its whirling, relentless grip looked uncomfortable and uneasy, but Miss Ashe was heavy upon her feet, and this in dancing w’ith the Professor proved to her advantage. Half a head taller thau he, she was able to dictate the speed in a measure. She chose a slow motion, and planted her slippers squarely at every step. With her the Professor danced just two hours and twenty minutes, at the cud of which time, being given to understand that no other young lady would be at all likely to dance longer she consented to resign in favor of Miss A'. R.’ Stewart, and saun tered carelessly to her seal, arranging her hack hair nonchalantly aa she went. Miss Stew art was a charmingly graceful per son, but w earied of the waltz in just six teen minutes, as indeed she could hardly help doing, for M. Cartier having appa rently just got wanned up to his work put .on a tremendous and cruel burst of Bpeed that shook the hair-pins from her giddy and astonished head. The little dancing academy had by this time filled up with a large and enthusias tic audience, which was eviJ»-*’y # that th» Impressible young dancing- master had been waiting for. He now threw off his coat, and being given Rosa Herzberg to tire out, devoted his energies to that task, and dancing rapidly accom plished it in exactly due hour and six minutes. Mrs. Cartier's turn came next; she danced fifty-eight minutes. Miss Mary Miller danced forty-seven minutes. Miss Ekkie Heincman lasted for thirty- five minutes, and with Mrs. Cartier for fifteen minutes more the Professor accomplished his feaL Pardoned by tiie President.—Mr. Hayes has issued pardons to the follow ing: Prank Silva, recently sentenced in New Mexico to six months’ imprisonment in the Missouri penitentiary and one hun dred dollars fine and cost, for having in his possession unstamped cigars: A. W. Howerton, sentenced in North Carolina last Octolicr to twelve months’ imprison ment in the Albany penitentiary, for em bezzlement from the mails—pardoned on account of ill-health; William 11. Mor ris, sentenced m Pennsylvania in May, 1876, to two years' imprisonment in the penitentiary and a fine of five hundred dollars, for passing and having in his possession counterfeit United States cur rency; Charles Lewis, sentenced in In diana, May, 1877, to eighteen moLths' imprisonment in the penitentiary for passing and having counterfeit half dol lars; Thomas Kinsley, sentenced liy the Supreme Court of the District of Colum bia, June, 1876, to two years’ imprison ment in the Albany penitentiary, for lar ceny ; J, F.

Ejected r.v His Second.—A singular case of suicide occurred in Wheeling, West Virginia, on ThurMl.y ulglit. Henry Pauh, a well known citizen of that place, who was once vury wealthy, shot himself through the heart. lie had been married twice, and had quarreled with his second wife, who turned him out of the house, and is said to have commenced leading a dissolute life. Late Thursday afternoon he showed a I revolver to a friend and said he intended ' to kill himself on his first wife's grave. As he could not be found Friday morn ing the friend went out to Mount Calvary Cemetery, and there upon his wife's grave, covered with a foot of snow, his body was found, and beside it lay the revolver with which he had shot himself. This is the third suicide among the Ger mans in 'Wheeling within three weeks. Readers of the newspapers will recol lect the death of the enormously wealthy Duke de Gallicra, of Italy, whose son, a pronounced Republican, declined to in herit his father's property or to assume his father's title. Victor Emanuel hits raised the Ipuquis de Carregs, who was liberally remembered in the Duke’s will, to the rank of Duke, and if the son still persists in declining the title of Duke dc Galliera it will pass to the Marquis. M Hugues, tiie Marseilles journalist, who lately killed another journalist in a duel, has writton from Italy to say that he will give himself up at a proper time. He concludes his letter to the authorities; “I will answer to the law with my heart broken, but my head erect. When we have killed a man in a duel, we are suffi ciently punished by his death.” MARIE ANTIER’S SENTENCE. Blinding a Lover with Sulphuric Arid, and then Offering to Care for Him. From the Messager Franco-Americain. A girl named Marie Antier has just lieen condemned by the Court of Assizes of Tarn to two years imprisonment for throwing sulphuric acid in the face of her seducer, named Valat. and blinding him for life. In court she told her story as follows: “I was at C’armaux onlv a few days when I became acquainted with Valat. ’ I met him several times at his sister’s. His sister was my neighbor. He commenced to make love to me. and made improper proposals to me, which were refused, al though I liked him. Finally, he conquer ed my resistance by promising to marry me, and I became his mistress. Our re lations continued in this way for several months, until I told him that my condi tion was such that it was absolutely ne cessary for him to marry me. From that moment he abandoned me and shunned me. I resolved to compel him to marry me, and for this purpose had recourse to sulphuric acid, of which I easily pro cured a sufficient quantity. On the 15th of August I watched for him near the cafe which he frequented habitually, and renewed my entreaties. He repelled them, and threatened to beat me. Then I committed the act which has brought me here before this court." The Court—Y’ou have rendered Valat totally blind for the rest of his life. Is that what you intended to do, or do you regret having done it? Marie—I aid not intend to blind him. I only wanted to disfigure him, in order to prevent him from seducing other girls. If Valat will now forgive me and give a name to my child, I shall only be too happv to devote my whole life to caring for him. The Court—Your imagination has, doubtless, been excited by unwholesome reading. Do you often read novels? Marie—No, sir, I never read any; but I saw in a newspaper the story of" a girl who avenged herself in this way, and that is what gave me the idea. After the hearing of a few witnesses, whose testimony was merely formal, Valat was put on the stand. At sight of him a shudder ran through the crowd in court. As already stated, he was totally blind, and the acid left deep and horrible marks on his face. His testimony was characterized by grossness and the ex hibition of a feeling of the most deadly hatred of Marie Antier. In fine, he elicited little sympathy, and his testi mony tending to blacken the reputation of the girl previous to his acquaintance with her was contradicted by several witnesses. The jury found Marie guilty, but ad mitted extenuating circumstances, and a burst of applause testified the spectators’ approval when she received the lowest penalty—two years’ imprisonment. DR. DOANE’S WIFE. An Unexpected Jleetlngt that Vladea Bigamist Turn Pale. From the Cleveland Leader. About six weeks ago it was announced that Dr. Doane, of Litchfield, Medina county. Ohio, had lately disappeared from bis home. Subsequently, after an absence of several weeks, the Doctor again returned to the little town. He smoothed the matter over, and nothing very strange was thought of his some what irreuular behavior in absenting himself from a pleasant home and a charming wife without letting his where abouts for the time that he was away be known to any one, Tiie item about this affair was trans ferred to some of the Grand Rapids, Michigan, papers, and there fell under the eyes of a woman who for four long years’ in grief had bewailed the heartless desertion of a husband. She did not know his whereabouts and had not heard from him in four years. This item con tained her husband's name. She at once resolved to come to Ohio and ctek mm. A few days «gq sue reached Medina, bringing with her two children—one six and one four years of age. She confided the story of her troubles to a member of tho bar at Medina, who at once interested himself in her behalf. They started with out delay for Litchfield. ’ A few miles from their destination they met a convey ance, in which sat Dr. "Doane and his wife, who held a pretty little baby on her lap. “ There is my husband,” exclaimed the woman from Michigan, excitedly., 6n catching sight of the doctor in the car- riage. The" * wa5 3 p:ui>e. an astonished stare. The doctor turned deadly pal: for a mo ment, then whipped up’ his horses, and was soon out of sight. The woman and her companion drove on to Litchfield. She called at the doc tor's residence, but of course he was not at home. She said that they were married in a little town in Michigan about eight years ago, and had lived happily together for several years. Doane came to Litchfield four years ago, and began the practice of medicine. lie was affable, prepossessing in appearance, and of engaging manners In a short time he was engaged to one of Litchfield's fairest daughters, and their union took place about two years ago. He was looked upon by all as a most excm plary and kind husband, and a worthy citizen, and had a good practice in his profession. The matter has been settled hy the doctor agreeing to contribute to the sup port of the first wife. The Druid worship and religion have been revived at Pontypridd, ten miles from Cardiff, by a clever but eccentric man, a Dr Trice, and his followers. Their great holiday is Midsummer’s Day, when they inaugurate the summer sol stice by mysterious rites, and in fantastic dresses. A mystic dance takes place on the folds of a huge serpent made with flag-stone, and one part of the ceremony is performed on a rocking stone upon a mountain there. :Cai» boards, tfrorkrni. &t.
