A murder was once com- m t -, d ; . re, and the present owner, a Mr. Thom*-’, frequently hears all sorts of un- earthly n« which he cannot account for. One day recently, while plowing near the • n „ a * .vhieh the murder was committed, thei became so unearthly that he de cided ’i -i up work and quit the accursed spot. \ ’,irt\ i.as been organized to ferret out the mystery. Dr. David Brandon, a highly esteemed citizen f Thoinasviile, died in that city on Mondav lust, after a brief illness. His death is much regretted in the community to Whi< h he lived. p ru f,...,,r Consigney is pronounced “a dead b- at " by the Columbus papers. He walked three hundred miles in three hun dred hours, and then walked off without paying hi? board. jw , fr. edmen, King Williams and Joe Steve us, were lately tried, convicted and fined twenty-five dollars and costs for steal ing cotton seed in Blakely. Williams pro fessed his innocence to the last, declaring that tli- whole thing was a conspiracy to ruin his reputation. A negro woman in Augusta a day or two since suffered considerably from an ulcer on her neck. * A doctor was called in who lance-i it. and found a fish hook embedded in the ilesh. The theory of its getting there was that she had some small hooks in her mouth a short tiine’6ince, and on being seized with a sneezing fit, one of these be came fixed in her throat and worked its way out ou the right side of her neck. After its removal she experienced much relief. The Augusta Evening A'em says it made a mistake when it stated that the Graniteville (S. C.) Cotton Factory weaved 6,56d yards of cloth per loom daily. It meant to say 65 prds and 61-100 of a yard. And still we reeeive reports of the damage done by the storm of the 10th inst. We read that the wind in the lower part of Greene county, last Sunday week, blew itself into a young cyclone and scattered trees and fences generally. In Brunswick at 3:30 Wednesday morning the residence of Mr. George Asbell, on New castle street, was entirely consumed by fire. No insurance. So sudden was the fire that the family bad barely time to escape with their lives, and lost everything save one mat tress. The fire is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. According to the game law of the State, hunters will have to stop their sport until next t )ctober. The shooting or trapping of any birds,except birds of prey, is prohibited between March loth and October 15th. The penalty for a violation of the law is very severe. Next Wednesday is the anniversary of the great cyclone which passed over Mil- ledgeville and Baldwin county, doing severe' and fatal damage, in 1875. Isum Green, a colored man in the employ of Mr. Leonard Parker, living about eight miles east of Americus, was killed by light ning on Tuesday, the 12th inst. He had been working in the field, and on seeiDg a heavy cloud coming up, started towards his hou.-e, but before reaching that place was struck down with the electricity and almost instantly killed. He was dead before any one could reach him. A correspondent writing to us from Mill- town, Berrien county, gives a very encour aging account of the present condition as well as of the future prospect of his locality. He says: "We are now haring some of the most beautiful spring weather ever known. It is as warm and pleasant as May. The farmers ure busily engaged in planting. Vast quantities of guano are being used, more than ever known in this county before. The farmers are in a better condi tion than usual, having raised almost enough bacon tor home consumption and plenty of corn. The gardens look well. Oats are better than we have ever known. Sam Reilly, charged with rape, and com mitted to Abbeville jail, Wilcox county, made his escape several days ago. Ike Hill, a colored man, was caught steal ing guano from the warehouse of W. U. Fleetwood, of Hawkinsville, on Friday night last. He was taken up by two young men and carried to Mr. Fleetwood, and while the latter was making arrangements to secure him he ran off. One of the young men followed him, tiriug at him five times, but missing him. He wag finally captured and confessed to having sold his stolen guano to a merchant of the town, who has been heretofore considered of good stand ing. Wayne county U another of the prosper ous sections of our State. It is declared that there the day of good times and low taxes draweth nigh. The county owes but about one hundred dollars, and has on hand over two hundred dollars. “Few counties,” sa.vs the Jesup Sentinel, “can make such a showing as that.” Tlie subject of tea culture In Georgia is yet in it? infancy, but is exciting the inter est of our people, and will no doubt event ually become a source of considerable, reve nue t<» the citizens of the State. The fol lowing interesting facts on the subject ftre gathered from a paper by Dr. S. Jones to the ■•bo:nas County Agricultural Society. He *ays that “many years ago our people began ta investigate the question of tea culture. *h y tried repeatedly to raise tea plants tfwu the seed, but failed. Becoming con- vin u i that the «eed lost their vitality in tra:^; rtation, about 1853 a Mr. Fortune out to China, and planted the 6eeds there*. an«l sent the young plants to the b nited States. These plants were furnished *he various United States Senators for distribution. Hon. Alfred Iverson sent of these plants to Mr. William Jones. They were taken care of, but only two cut of th.- number lived. These grew finely an, l . ixuriantly, and from these others were Propagated. A Mr. Howard, of Baltimore, oamu out to Liberty county, and tested the tea, and found it superior to the imported 6a. In lb»;2 Mr. William Jones commenced to make tea for use. and from that time to the present day it has come more and more lc: " notive through the press and the State and oth- r fairs. The tea plant* are very easily Propa^ateu from either cuttings or the seed, but tin- seed must be planted before they get t«x> dry, as the oil in them 6eeras to harden and drv, and they will not then come op Middle Georgia (Indian Spring) Tinits: One night last week two young men, gangers in 'these parts,’ made a raid into " Ia,, k Ankle District and stole a bale of cot- ton. carried it to Hampton and sold it in the of our worthy Representative, Hon.

J. H. ESTILL, PROPRIETOR. SAVANNAH, MONDAY, MARCH 18, 1878. ESTABLISHED 1850. * Sentinel of the 13th pays the lOllowing high compliment to a well known citizen of Savannah: “Promptly at nine o clock on Monday morning, His Honor Judge Tompkins called the court to order, and, after a concise charge to the grand jury, proceeded to sound the dockets. His prompt rulings and rapid methods of dis patching business have give nuniversal satis faction. Judge Tompkins, though unknown to most of our citizens, has succeeded in his short stay among us in making many friends, indeed, it is a matter of universal comment and mutual congratulations, both among our lawyers and our yeomanry, that the rapid planner in which the business of the court has been dispatched, merits the highest de gree of praise. No wrangling among law yers, no delay about witnesses, no absence of jurymen, no boisterousness, are characteris tic of this session of the court. If law was thus administered all over the land, fear and not contempt would be the opinion enter tained of the supreme majesty of the law. For fear our readers may think we are in dulging in flattery, we say ‘come and see for yourselves,’ for he is verily a ‘Daniel come to judgment,’ and a terror to evil doers.” The Eatonton JBrood Axe and Iteniizer says: “The grain crops in the county are growing rapidly, and the present prospect is rather flattering, we think, for a good yield.” Mr. John E. Wilkerson, of the house of Crane, Boyleston <fc Co., Atlanta, was, on last Wednesday night,seriously cut in Lafay ette, Ala., where he was traveling on busi ness, by a man named Holmes, ex-Solicitor General of that place. The Opelika Observer gives the following versiou of the affair: “About 9 o’clock Wednesday evening, Mr. J. M. Driver, Mr. Jno. Holmes and Mr. Wil kerson were in the saloon enjoying social glasses,when Mr. Driver suggested that they go over to the hotel and have supper. Mr. Wilkerson objected, that he had eaten a late dinner, and as for himself, did not care for supper; that it was too late to make the land lady prepare supper, and besides that the party were in no condition to enter a lady’s house. From these remarks a discussion was started, ending by Mr. Driver's kicking Mr. Wilkerson. Driver went out, but stopped at the door, where he made some disparag ing remarks (to put it mild), 6taid a little while and came pack. As he entered the barroom on his return trip Wilkerson cut him. Then commenced a general cutting frolic. Both Messrs. Holmes and Driver waded into Wilkerson, Holmes cutting him across the face in two or three places, while Driver carved his arms and legs. One, or both, cut him in the side. Wilkerson is said to have bled over two quarts of blood, and to be iu a very critical condition. He is now at the hotel at Lafayette. Mr. J. M. Driver is of one of the best families in Ala bama, but under the influence of liquor is said to be a desperate man. Mr. John Holmes is a well-known and highly respect ed lawyer of Lafayette.” A correspondent of the Oglethorpe Echo says : “That the gold mines of this county are rich and inexhaustible is beyond a doubt. They would pay capitalists and experienced miners to invest in and work them. The land in which this gold lies imbedded is owned by farmers who know but little about mining, and they lack capital to employ ex perienced workmen and to procure the ma chinery necessary to successful working. The mine owned by Robert Morgan, of Lex ington, and known as the Wynne mine, is very rich. Before the war it was worked by Mr. Wynne, with his slaves, who knew nothing of the art of getting gold, and yet it paid the owner about as well as raising cotton. This mine is on Buffalo creek, near Lumpkin's mill. Mr. Wynne succeeded in extracting therefrom about thirty thousand dollars worth of gold before he died. Since then it has not been worked. It was bought by Mr. Morgan just before the war between the States, aud since peace has been restored he has not worked any at the mine, not hav ing the capital to carry on the business or procure the machinery necessary. The ore jn this mine is Inexhaustible, as the deeper the shaft was sunk it increased in richness. Wynne not having the appliances to remove the water finally abandoned the project.” Greensboro Herald: “Some negroes in Gainesville took the law into their own hands the other day and ku-kluxed one of their colored brethren in a fearful manner, for re porting them to the United States Court. The question now is will the Northern Radi cal press howl about this as much as they did about similar outrages committed by the whites? Oh, no.” Columbus Enquirer-Sun of Saturday: “We <«&* yesterday by private letter dated Jan uary 29th, which arrived here on the 14th instant, that IIoij. Henry W. Hilliard, Min ister to Brazil from the United States, is do lighted with his surroundings. As be was about to land in Rio de Janeiro a number of his countrymen met him in a tug, conveyed him ashore and escorted him to a carriage aa4 thence to a hotel, where preparations had been made for his reception. In a few days he met the Minister of Russia, with whom he was well pleased. He was intro duced to the Emperor Dom Pedro, in front of the throne. Ili6 address to the Emperor was received with great enthusiasm by his own countrymen, many of whom were pres ent. We understand that the Emperor thinks very kindly of Mr. Hilliard. The latter is * err much impressed with the sound sense and general intelligence of the former. Mr. Hilliard also met the Empress. When this letter was written, January z&b, jt was mid-summer in Brazil.” Pope Pius ami tlie “Astute loath. Fernandina, Fla., March 14, 1878.— Editor Morning Neics: In your issue of the 12th you have an article clipped from odc of your exchanges, headed “The Late Pope.” Among the incidents related was his fondness for chil dren, and one incident is incorrectly stated. The article has it: “On one oc casion, however, he had to deal with a very astute youth, who, being taken to a drawer full of gold pieces, when lie was bidden to help himself to as much as he could carry iu both hands,” answered: “I had rather send for father, lie has bigger hands than mine.” The inci dent referred to occurred just prior to the assembling of the Ecumenical Council when Ilis Holiness desired to make some alteration in the decorations to part of the Vatican and sent to his architect for plans. These were sent by his little son. The Pope being pleased with the boy as well as the plans, opened the drawer of his secretary, displaying the shining coin. Telling the lad to help himself to a handful, the little fellow hesitated only a moment, then replied: “Holy Father you take it out, your hands are larger than mine.” Y r ours truly, J- t. Dent. Arrest of a Family of Counterfeiters. Cincinnati Enquirer, March Mh. For some time United States Detectives Rathburn and Swigart have been work- ia ,r up a case against some dealers m counterfeit coin, and sit last their labors have been crowned with success, result ing in the capture of an old man and his four sons, against all of whom there is sut&eient evidence to send them to the penitentiary. The capture was made yesterday between twelve and one o'clock, at the house of the prisoners, X„. -Jo Webb street. Their names are John llemy flrossheim. aged fifty years, and his four son-, John Henry - , Jr.. t ir e d twenty-three; Francis Joseph, six teen ; Lxiuis, eighteen, and John Harmon, twenty-one. The place where they kept their “nest,” aud where they have been residing for some years, is 9 three-story brick house, the basement of trbich was occupied by old Grossheim and his wife, while the boys slept in the garret, their quarters being reached by a trap door, and another trap doer on thereof from which to escape to the roots o. the adjoining houses in case of an alarm is easy This sleeping room was scantily furnished, their beds being mere bunks placed in either corner. The floor was bare and dirty, and all the surroundings were well calculated to make a very un favorable impression. In this dingy room were found $300 in counterfeit trade dollars. $214 of which is finished and ready for the market, $14 in the rough, and the balance in nickels and half dollars, not yet polished, and all the para phernalia used in making the stuff, such is a crucible, a small vise, brushes to do oolishing with, two sets of moulds m which the genuine trade dollars were still sticking, and two more sets that were not vet completed, together with a handsome box- in which was found a lot.of the most filthy and obscene books, with which the promising youths no doubt whiled away the time when business got dull. Also a bottle containing a small quantity of pow dered glass, used as an ingredient to make the metal ring with a good sound, and a bottle of solution in which the com is dipped to give it the necessary bright look.

THE EASTERN QUESTION. • Russia Has Established Herself ou the Bosphorus." ADVANCE OF RUSSIAN TROOPS AROUND CONSTANTINOPLE. Uncertainty in Regard to the Congress England to Demand an Extension of Greece. By Cable to the Morning News. London, March 16.—The Times has the following from St. Petersburg: “The official world here again entertains grave apprehen sions of serious complications. Men who have considerable influence in causing or averting events which they profess to fore see, say it is by no means certain that the Congress will meet, and if it does, it is not very likely to succeed in consequence of Austrian and English jealousy of Russia’s success.” A dispatch from San Stefano to the Times states that the Russian Guards have been ordered to embark for home as soon as the treaty is ratified, and it is uncertain whether this refers to the ratification by the Czar or the Cod cress. The Times' Vienna correspondent says: “Russia has notified the powers that the treaty will be 6ent them immediately after its ratification. Russia having no reason to conceal anything. This seems intended to reassure England that there is no secret un derstanding.” Hsiher Lloyd states that England and Austria have agreed to demand the an nexation of Thessaly, Epirus and Mace donia to Greece if Russia persists in the ex tension of Bulgaria. The Reuter Telegram Company has the following dated Constantinople, March 15 : “The Russians near Boulair have been re inforced.” The Titnes in a leading editorial says : “On Monday the Russians not only occupied several villages round Constantinople but took ppssession of a point on the edge of the most northerly plateau running down towards-the entrance of the Bosphorus. The small forts which command the entrance lie directly at the foot of the position thus occupied, and as these works are open on the laud side the Russians have power to entrench at any moment and close the entrance to the Black Sea. As our Vienna correspondent observes, such a move ment does not seem calculated to dispel the apprehension maintained, that though there may be uo secret treaty a tacit understand ing has been established with Turkey which may involve the arrangements most material to a decision of the other powers. It is to be presumed that the terms of the treaty will provide for the evacuation within a moder ate time of the whole of Roumania, and consequently any position now held near Constantinople. But meanwhile the fact remains that Russia has established herself on the Bosphorus. As our corresponded observes, not only is there nothing iii the recent movements of the British fleet to justify this advance, but there is little doubt that it must have been adopted prior to those movements and independ ently of them. It would have been difficult for Russia to adopt a course less likely to conciliate the good will of Europe or this country. Our correspondent at 8t. Peters burg does not give a more cheerful report. It is there said, he tells us, by persons of considerable influence, that while it is by no means certain that the Congress will as semble, it is not very likely to be successful. If it does, England and Austria are accused of being animated, not by a mere desire to protect their legitimate and material inter est, but by jealousy of the military and dip lomatic success of Russia. They are sup posed, therefore, to be desirous of diminish ing as far as possible the consequences of the war. Russia, it is stated, will declare, though she is willing to have such ques tions as that of the straits discussed, the conditions she has already signed are the minimum of what she has the right and determination to demand. The dimi nution of the results of the war being thus impossible, England, it is said, will seek to increase them by demanding an extension of Greece, but the effect of this will be to break the last link of English alliance with Turkey, and the Sultan will then recognize Russia as his surest ally. That these wild notious should be seriously entertained by persons of authority in the Russian capital, indicates, as we have 6aid, a condition of mind by no means favorable to a satisfactory conclusion of the present ne gotiations. The terms of peace may prove an agreeable surprise, but Russia is not as sisting Europe to place a favorable construc tion upon them.” A dispatch to Reuter’s from St. Peters burg says: “It is declared in well Informed quarters here that Greece can not become a party to the Congress like the great powers, although nothing prevents Greece from delegating the care of her interests to repre sentatives at the Congress.” REPORTS ON TIIE SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD. ENGLAND STILL MAKING ACTIVE WARLIKE PREPARATIONS. O’Donovaii Rossa Threatened with a Mob In Toronto. nE WILL CLAIM AMERICAN PRO TECTION. The Policy of Leo XIII. Defined. BUSINESS CRISIS IN SPAIN. Washington Note* and Comment*. WASHINGTON NOTES. Washington, March 16.—The President has signed the act to make persons charged with offenses and crimes competent wit nesses iu United States and Territorial Coqrts. There is legal machinery in motion to stave off the decision iu tire Arlington case for at least two years. In the meantime the owners will be compensated by Congress. The Committee of Ways and Means have concluded their bill and’will commence its review on Monday, aud probably be ready to report it by the end of next week. The McGarrahan case, before the Public Lands Committee of the Senate, is the scan dal of the hour. The case has beeu on the docket for twelve years, and nearly every public man, either iu Congress or the lobby, during that time, is in the defensive. This Is the great new Idria quicksilver case, and it is mercurial in all its phases. THE PANIC AMONG THE BOSTON BANKS. Boston. March 16.—At a meeting of the directors of the Five Cent Savings Bank it was decided to continue to pay all deposi tors on demand. The number of depositors are about 71,000, and the deposits nearly $12,000,000. The East Boston Savings Banks have offi cially notified the depositors that sixty days’ notice will be required before their funds can be withdrawn. Boston. March 16.—The panic among the savings bank depositors continues. The crowd in front of the Five Cent Rank was even greater than that of yesterday. Ninety thousand dollars was paid*out yesterday, and as much to-day. A prominent savings in stitution paid out about eighty thousand dollars yesterday, and an equal amount to day. There has* been no run on the Suffolk Bank- CONG SESSIONAL. Washington, March 16.—The sub-com mittee of the Senate Railroad Committee reported unanimously in favor of extending thwiime for the completion of the Northern Pacific Railroad eight years. In the House Mr. Chalmers introduced a bill for the relief of the Meridian and Vicks burg Railroad. Mr. Waddell, from the Post Office Com mittee, reported a bill for the classification of mail matter and postage thereon. Or dered printed aud recommitted. The enacting clause of a bill to make available $375,000 to pay ante-bellum mall contractors was stricken out; yeas 112, naves 100. _ Bills were passed for the relief of James J. Waring, of Savannah, Ga., and M. G. Har mon, of Virginia. The Rouse theu adjourned. GREAT BRITAIN STILL ACTIVE. London, March 16.—There is less excite ment at the government works at Woolwich than some weeks ago, but there is no abate ment of energy and no diminution of work. Nearly all hands work until eight, nine or ten o'clock at night, instead of livt, the usual closing hour. In consequence of the want of officers for the army cadets who entered at Sandhurst last summer, and whose period of probation would expire in July in ordinary circumstances, will be passed out next ‘month. Those who enter ed at the beginning of the year and would complete their course in December, will be passed out and commissioned In July. A large number of commissions in the line will also be available for militia during the pre sent year. REPORTS ON THE SOfTHERN PACIFIC RAIL ROAD. Washington, March 16.—There are three reports on the Southern Pacific Railroad— one in favor of the Texas Pacific, the majority of another favoring the California Southern Pacific, and a marplot signed by William R. Morrison, of Illinois. This re port probably represents the balance of power, and will defeat both parties and in definitely postpone the construction of the road. Extracts from his report follow: It is submitted that the power has not been conferred upon Congress to make the United States a partner in such an enterprise by sub scription to its capital stock, or more, to authorize the construction of the road out of the resources of the people to be made a gift to the railroad company. The attempt to derive such pow er, the power to build and give away a rail road, from the power to establish military and post roads, is, in the opinion of the un dersigned, an attempt to pervert the obvious purpose of a power intended for the public f ood to private ends. The United States are ound to provide for the general defense, but it does not follow that they may construct or operate a railroad for the ex clusive benefit of a private corporation, be cause they may ultimately, and in some pos sible contingency; want to use it for a mili tary purpose, any more than they may go into partnership with a stock raiser, because horses are necessary in war. The United States have power to regulate foreign com merce and commerce between the States, but it does not follow that they may indorse the notes of a ship builder or merchant by way of stimulating aud encouraging busi ness. * * # * ♦ The undersigned would remind the House that this later rule of construction only ob tained a footing at a period when American statesmanship had grown restive under con stitutional restraints, which are still believed to be essential and indispensible to the pro tection and well being of the people: and when such rules of construction obtained a footing which finally wrecked us in civil war. we should retrace our steps aud return to the doctrines and the practices of the fath ers. In this the people have preceded us and this House has, by a solemn resolution, con demned the further grant orrenewalof sub sidies in any form. The lands granted al ready exceed two hundred millions of acres, a quantity in area and acres equal to the seven great States of Ohio, Kentucky, Ten nessee, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa, aud equal to the original thirteen States, if we exclude West Virginia. The money subsidies already granted, guaranteed, loan ed or given, which in Pacific Railroad legis lation have hitherto proved to be equivalent terms, used as a sinking fund would liqui date more than $380,000,000 of the public debt. ******* The history of Pacific Railroad legis lation and the pratices under it, does not justify the expectation of the net earnings which will inure to the benefit of the gov ernment in compensation for its guarantee. We see that the road might be so construct ed and so operated as in a considerable de gree to 6ave the government harmless in its guarantee. It is possible that it may not be so constructed or operated, Our experience abundantly proves that we have fostered by lavish grants from the public tseasurj’ a number of corporations which in return for our ill considered bounty have oppressed the people and grown so strong as to defy the government or so rich as to corrupt its officers. The proof is abundant that Congress itself has failed to withstand the corrupting influences of the great corpora tions it has created. There is nothing in the history of the Texas and Pacific Rail road Company which justifies the conclu sion that its methods and practices will be different from the methods and practices of itspredecessors. The undersigned is not unmindful of the commercial importance and special advan tages of the proposed road as a transcontinental railroad, and concurs In the belief expressed by the majority of the committee that “but for our unfortunate civil disturbances there can be little doubt that the first transcontinental line of railway constructed would have been on or near the thirty-second parallel.” But it is submitted that* this belief affords no sufficient justification for the guarantee and subsidy asked, for were it conceded, as it is not, that this enterprise is essentially of the Southern character with which it is attempted to be stamped, no reason can be built upon that fact which may not be ur«*ed with equal force as a reason why the government should equalize between the lately contending sections all the losses resulting from “our unfortunate civil disturbances.” The state ment of the majority that the government of the United States in view of the quantity of lands given to it by the Southern States has been unjust to the South in the bestowal of bounties is believed to find its refutation iu the character of the men who before the war represented that section. They were too sensitive as to the rights of their section to be satisfied with less than what was rightfully theirs. The undersigned is not advised as to how the Texas Pacific Railroad Company acquired the franchise and right of way by which it is authorized to construct its railroad from Fort Worth to El Paso, in the State of Texas, whether by grant from the State of Texas or by purchase from a consolidation with the Memphis, El Paso and Pacific Rail road, under the fourth section of the act of March 3d, 1871, entitled “An act to incorpo rate the Texas Pacific Railroad Company and to aid in the construction of its road, and for other purposes.” In the case of Davis vs. Gray, 16 Wallace, p. 203, the United States Supreme Court decided the Memphis, El Paso and Pacific was a surviving corporation, with all its property in possession, and all its faculties unimpaired. This franchise and right of way the compaby proposes to mortgage to indemnify the government for Its guarantee. It becomes a material fact, therefore, to know if it was ever acquired in either of the modes suggested or otherwise, and whether it has beeu forfeited or lost with the Texas land grant. The under signed expresses no opinion upon this ques tion, which was not considered by the com mittee, but submits that due regard for the interests of the government demands that before any guarantee is made, based in part on mortgage of the said franchise and right of way, the House should be informed and advised as to the title to what is proposed to be mortgaged. THE FINANCIAL SITUATION. London, March 16.—The Economist says: “The discount market is still strong at 2 per cent. Surprise is expressed iu various quar ters that the Bank of England’s rate was not advanced on Thursday. The feature of the week in the bullion market has been the ex port of silver to New York at a time when American exchange is risiugto a point which may even bring gold here. Of course this is attributable to the operation of the coinage act. Additional buoyancy has been recorded on some securities, but waiting for news of the Congress has taken a good deal of life out of the market for government stocks, and movements in this department have been lighter than for some weeks. Americans, both governments and railways, have recovered, oecausc u» a be lief that there will be no immediate pay ment of coupons in silver and because American investors exhibit a disposition to take their own stocks at current prices.” MINCING LANE MARKETS. London, March 16.—The Mincing Lane markets are inactive and prices mostly weak. There Has beeu speculation in low sugars at 3(a6d. per' cwt. recovery, and holders ask a further slight advance. Other raw descriptions are unchanged; refined is dearer here and in France. Tea is very dull; common Congou is easier; the total fall from the recent highest account is now Id. per pound: Indian is flat, and other sorts not improved, cocua iu lowpr, owing to heavy supplies at public sales. In coffee a large assortment of the new East Indies brought fair prices. Flautaiiou Ceylon is steady; all pale aud ordinary foreign descrip tions are dull. MORE FAILURES. Pijiladetphia, March 16.—Furness, Ash & Cb.. the oldest dry goods ana auction and commission house in the city, has suspended. Cincinnati, March 16.~y. S. Tremble, a banker and heavy shipper of grain, of Mount Gilead, Ohio, has failed. His liabilities aqp supposed to be very large. Walker,Welsh & Co., b’ankcrsof Kokomo, Ind., have suspended. Liabilities, $100,000; assets, $189,000. Nbw Fork, March 16.—The liabilities of W. A. Rausoru A Co., shoe dealers, are $550,000; assets, $440,000, mostly nominal. DONOVAN ROSSA'S CONTEMPLATED LECTURE. New York, March 16.—Donovan Rossa, who had been engaged to lecture on “Irish Liberty and English Life," at Toronto, has been notified that he will be mobbed. Tho owner OI the opeua Rouse there has refused to allow the lecture iu the building. Rossa says he will deliver his lecture, and if mob bed or arrested on the charge of violation of his English sentence of twenty years exile will claim American protection, but he does not believe the American Government spirit ed enough to interfere ARREST QF A TEMPERANCE LECTURER. STRATroRD, D. T., March 16.—K.

March 16.—The Hdl Mall Gazette has the following : “Rome, March 16.—The Pope, notwith standing violent opposition, has ordered the Italian Bishops to legalize their positions, giving them liberty to demand an exequa tur from the government. This defines the Pope's policy. It means a tacit acceptance of the loss of temporal powers.” VERDICT AGAINST A DEFAULTING TREASURER.

St. Mary's, Ga., March 14.—Editor Morning New: Old residents of this place, and visitors and others of a more recent acquaintance, have often remarked the rare advantages possessed by St. Man ’s for the establishment here of a complete and well appointed ship yard. All the commonly used materials for building steamboats and sailing vessels are convenient and abundant. Laborers, too, can be had in any number and at moderate wages; and the mild ness of the climate affords fa cilities for out door work the year round, and the cost of food aud shelter and clothing is ceitainly not greater than at any other point where vessels are now built. It is true that boat and other water craft building has been successful ly and profitably done here. The weal th}’ and energetic shipping house of S. L.*Burns & Co., of this place, have now in daily use a new steam tug, the Gladia tor, built here within a year or two past, that is a model boat, quick in her movements and very powerful for a tug of her size. In a few days another steam tug, built by the same firm, will be launched, and gives goodly promise that she will be A No. 1 for all the purposes for which she is intended. I hope in my next letter to the News to give you an account of the launch, name, etc., of this new boat. Notwithstanding the success in-build ing from stem to stern these steamers, recent marine disasters go very far to confirm the belief, that a ship yard is really wanted and would be a paying institution at St. Mary’s. The Spanish brig Bruja, Mahigues Captain, cleared from this port for Bar celona, and when near the Bermudas, sprung a leak and put back to this place for inspection and repairs. She was out fourteen days and lost part of her load. She will be got ready very soon to go to sea again. The French bng Zoe, Captain C. Fresne, from Yucatan to this port, went ashore on French Reef, about ninety-five miles northeast of Key West, and was got off by wreckers, two of whom came on the Zoe to St. Mary’s, to receive sal vage of two thousand dollars, and the vessel is now here for repairs. The Zachry Taylor from New London, bound to Central America, has just come in here, not in distress, but for overhaul ing before proceeding on her voyage. So much for marine news. The two large steam saw mills of S. L. Burns & Co. are running full time and a little over, in order to meet the heavy demand for lumber which th^y are now called on to supply to vessels from various sections of the world. If gut, aud energy Industry can prevail, theu it is an assured fact that all the vessels will get their loads in due time. Camden. Remarkable Revival.—A correspon dent of the Raleigh (N. C.) Neirs gives that paper an account of a remarkable religious revival in Jefferson in that State. The writer says; “First a Methodist quarterly meeting was held here on the 21st of December, terminating in a revival, and some sixty or seventy persons professed religion, among whom were the most wicked, drunken and profane men in the whole country. Thev at once pranged ineir conduct and became as faithful and de voted followers of the Lord as they had been of the Devil. Ever since they have been holding prayer meetings, class meet ings, etc., from two to six times a week, at some houses in town; and a week or ten days ago they appointed prayer meet ings out in the country two or three miles away, and the revival broke out again and forty or fifty persons have been con verted under their ministration, and their meetings are still in progress and much interest is felt, and large crowds attend night and day.” Horrible Death of a Little Girl.— Near Rockville last baturday afternoon, Mr. Keene, who resides just this side of the mill of the Messrs. Veirs, had set fire to a field of grass. After warning the children not to go near the fire, the parents returned to thpir usual avocations. Mrs. Keene was startled by the cries of one of the children, and running out of the house discovered her little girl, aged four years, enveloped in the fiam«s. i'he mother, at the risk or her life, dragged the child out of the burning grass, but was unable to strip her of her clothing until she had been fearfully burned. The child lingered until the following morn ing, when death relieved her of her terri ble sufferings. Mrs. Keene’s hands were so badly burned that it is doubtful if she will ever regain the full use of them.— Montgomery Advocate. A BOY TIRED OF LIFE. He Read Novel*, DUliked to be Whipped, and Tried to Kill Him self. Cincinnati Enquirer y “A gentleman who had iust returned from a trip over the line of the Cincinnati Southern Rail road below Somerset, informs us that things are in a deplorable condition on it. ^he fills, m»sonry and trestle work are being washed away in many places, and the tunnels are filling up and tumb ling in.

Eichelman, aged fourteen vears, living with his parents at No. 101 Freeman street, Greenpoint, attempted suicide by shooting on Sunday last, and lies in the Eastern District Hospital, Wil liamsburg, in a precarious condition. The Eichelmans live in a rear tenement, and are said to be quiet people. The neigh bors say that Charles has complained of ill-treatment from his father and broth ers, and that he was severely whipped for stealing small sums of money and for lying. About a week ago he said to some of his comrades that if he was beaten again he would shoot himself. On Mon day a chair belonging to the family was found to have been broken, and Charles was taken to task for it. He made a denial, but his father, it is said, threatened to have him whipped when his eldest brother return ed from work. Charles was sent on an errand in the afternoon, when it ap pears he went to the butcher shop of M. Ruoff, about half a block distant, and presented a note to Mr. Ruoff purport ing to have been written by the elder Eichelman. The note asked for the loan of a pistol to shoot a dog, and assured Mr. Ruoff that he need not fear to let Mr. the boy have the weapon, as he was very careful. Charles had written the note, imitating closely his father’s handwrit ing. Mr. Ruoff gave him his seven shooter, after removing four cartridges, leaving three in the weapon, and the boy went away. He returned home, but soon went out again, saying he was going to the butcher’s. On the street the boy met Johnny Mur phy, a lad of ten, who lives in the front tenement, and with him went to some vacant lots east of Uniou avenue, known as the “Meadows.” Here Cuarles gave his companion a small pocketbook con taining some cards bearing the names of his playmates and said: “Johnny, take this to Lottie Boch; I’m going to shoot myself; go away, that’s a good fellow.” lie then pushed Johnny away and took the revolver from his pocket. Murphy had gone only a few steps when he heart! the report of a pistol, and turning he saw young Eichelman fall. He gave an alarm and the wounded boy was taken to the Seventh Precinct station house. It was found that the ball had entered the body just above the navel and had struck the lower left rib and had either rebounded or passed around the body just beneath the skin, as it could not be found by pro bing. He was then taken to the hospi tal. The wound is not thought to be fatal, but death is likely to occur from the nervous shock. The boy says that he did the deed from fear of punishment, but seems to regret it. He is said to have been an inveterate reader of dime novels and similar productions. A Fashionable Milliner in Trouble. —Madame Rawlings, a well known fash ionable milliner, has got into trouble with the New York custom house. She has been to Europe, and on the arrival of the steamer Adriatic she sent two large Sara toga trunks ashore, paying sixty-eight dollars duty upon their contents. Sub sequently Capt. Brackett, Special Agent of the Treasury Department, suspecting something wrong, ordered the trunks to be examined, and their contents were found to consist of costly silks, hats and underwear, the duty on which is esti mated at from seven hundred to eight hundred dollars. The goods were sent to the seizure room, and at last accounts Madame was doing what she could to explain matters and have them restored to her. Wheeler and the Returning Board Law. New Orleans Picayune. Vice President Wheeler, in a sudden excess of what passes among his admirers for righteous indignation, has thought fit to denounce the prosecution of the returning officers as a -‘gross outrage on justice.” Such an expression, coming from a man occupying Vice President Wheeler’s position, appears to be a “gross outrage on decency,” and it will be so re garded by the reputable public opinion of the country. What seems to aggra vate the affair in Mr. Wheeler’s view, is* the inference which suggests itself to him, that certain of the “visiting states men” are morally as guilty as the re turning officers. “Why” he ex claimed to the ingenious interviewer, • they would convict John Sherman if they caught him down there, or General Garfield,” from which it seems that, in the opinion of Mr. Wheeler, John Sher man and General Garfield must have had something to do with the falsifying of the Louisiana election returns. Whether or not they did anything indictable can only be conjectured. But if they did, and the proof could be obtained, it is highly probable that they would be con victed if they could be brought to trial. Nor would the American people regard such a result as “a gross outrage on justice;” but, on the contrary, quite the reverse. When Mr. ’Wheeler was in New Or leans during the winter of 1874-5 trying to arrange what was afterwards known as the “Wheeler Adjustment,” he de nounced the returning board law as “an outrage on justice,’ and declared that the people of the State of New Y’ork would not submit for a single day to such an agency of fraud and oppression. He went so far as to recommend Mr. Kellogg, theu acting Governor, to urge its repeal, and the substitution for it of an election law similar to that of New Y’ork or of Massachusetts. It was only by gaining Mr. Kellogg's consent to this condition that the success of the adjust ment scheme was assured. The condition was not included among the written terms because Mr. Kellogg feared that it would repel the support of the Republican caucus; but he pledged himself togi\eall his influence to carry it at the next session of the Legislature. Of course he did not fulfill the pledge— possibly he could not—but it had been given, all the same, at the solicitation of the gentleman who now seems to regard the returning l>oard law as a very proper piece of legislation. One would be tempted to suppose that this change of opinion was wrought in him when that law became an efficient agency in elevat ing him to the Vice Presidency. ifgal §alf$.

Returning with it, Mrs. Bain proceeded to mix it, the children gathering about her to see the operation. She poured the indigo into the vitriol, which was generating an ex plosive gas, the bottle was shattered and the liquid contents were scattered over the faces of the children, burning them dreadfully and eating the very clothes off them. The mother was also badly burned. The children, with their scar red faces and injured eyes, present a pitiable spectacle. Sad Case ok Child Poisoning.— About 8:30 o’clock yesterday morning Asbury Beach, aged two years, son of William J. Beach, residing "at 216 Modi son avenue, was left alon<T in a room for a few moments by its mother. During her absence the child got upon a chair, and securing from the mantlepiece a bot tle containing extract of yellow jessa mine, swallowed the contents, causing almost instant death. When discovered the child was in a dying condition. Drs. Brewer and Williams were summoned, and did all in their power to relieve the sufferer, but without success.—Baltimore Gazette, 14 th.

Sziockzng Treatment of a Woman.— A Cincinnati Commercial special from Vincennes, Indiana, says: “A few days sicwc Mattie Eves, a courtesan, was taken to the woods a short distance from the city, and after horrible treatment by sev eral ruffians a fire was built and she was held on U until her body was burned to a crisp. After several days of intense suffering she was discovered by persons who had her removed to the county asylum. No arrests have been made.” The New Dollars Only Exchangeable for Gold. Washington Star of Thursday. The sum of $10,000 in the new silver coin was received and put on sale at the Treasury Department to-day. Up to the hour of closing business about $3,000 had been disposed of. Contrary to general expectation greenbacks would not pur chase the new dollar, gold only being re ceived in exchange therefor. Many peo ple walked up to the paying clerk’s wicket and placing greenbacks on the counter called for their equivalent in the new dollar. The clerk answered by pointing to a little card overhead bearing the legend “Silver dollars exchangeable for gold only.” The different brokers in the neighborhood were then called upon by those desirous of purchasing silver, and gold was bought from them at 102. Gold was selling in New Y'ork during the day at 101 to 1014; the banks here charging the two cent premium because only small quantities were demanded. A large number of Congressmen who sent messengers from the capitol with green backs with which to purchase the new dollar, either had to go without or first buy gold at 102 and then pay it out for the new coin. Secretary- Sherman, by whose order of course silver is only to be sold for gold, takes the ground that to sell it for greenbacks would make the latter payable for customs duties, which is contrary to law. By the law just passed silver being made payable for custom duties it is evident that if it could be purchased for its equivalent in greenbacks, that the latter currency would thus indirectly also be made pay able for custom duties. No more silver will be received at the Treasury to-mor row. Five thousand dollars is being paid out in Philadelphia to-day for gold and twenty thousand remains in the mint there, with an order from New Y'ork for one hundred thousand. It is inti mated that the mint at Philadelphia will coin to-day, and each dav thereafter, $40,000. A rumor gained circulation to-day that coupons of government bonds were being paid iu silver; but Inquiry at the Treas ury proved it to be unlounded. Another rumor that for one hundred do’lars in greenbacks one hundred silver dollars could be purchased was groundless. The silver is paid out for gold only. A number of curbstone uieu who had procured silver s<4d it out on the streets at from $1 10 to $1 2o and even as high as $1 50.

Timet, If any one would like to. know what manner of men were those who fought round Osman Pasha, they can gain an idea of them from an anecdote that my friend told me. A very steep rock was to be stormed. It rose to the height of two hundred and fifty feet, and was crowned by Russian batteries A Turk ish Colonel, desirous to set an example to his men, scrambled up first by the help of occasional projections in the rock, and roots and weeds. When he reached the top, he found himself entirely alone. The Russian soldiers locked at him in amazement. Their guns were pointed at his hroast.when their General gave the or der not to fire, hastened up to the Turkish Colonel and called out to him, “Colonel, begone at once, you see you are alone.” The brave im%n said nothing. He stood still a moment, gazing at his enemies; then turned and went bach safely as he came. All the Russian soldiers began to clap their hands and cheer him. Camels in the American Desert.— For nearly a year past four camels have been running at large in the vicinity of Mineral Park—three old ones and a young one. One of the old ones looks to be quite ancient, and it may be one of the original stock that was imported from \aia many years ago. These ani mals are very gentle. A few days ago Mr. Knobman was out hunting stock, and he came across these camels, but his mule objected to an intimate acquain tance, and commenced backing. Horses and mules are frightened at the sight of them. In Nevada anil Idaho, and f think Montana, ‘.here is a law against using these animals in towns or traveling on the roads, as they Lighten stock. There seems to be no owners for these camels, and in time they may increase and be come numerous. —Arizona Miner.

Then a controversy arose as to the ownership of the organ.
