TAPPING THE W1BK8.
Several Zola chiefs have submitted to Sir
Garnet Wolesley, and it is reported be bas
assured them of the protection of the Brit
ish Government, and British troops are leav
ing for home, A strong force is to advance
at once on Ulundi.
The National Cotton Exchange Associa
tion, which assembles in New York on
Wednesday next, Is creating much interest
iimoDg cotton dealers, and there is every
reason to believe that it will be very success
ful. It is expected that from GO tolOO dele
gates, representing every important district
interested in the production of cotton, will
be present. It has not yet been decided on
exactly what subjects will be discussed.
The Sultan of Turkey has sent a telegram
t6 Tewfik. the Khedive of Egypt,demanding
that the ex Khedive, Ismail Pasha, be per
mitted to return to Egypt and reside in
Alexandria or Damietta. The British and
French Consuls General advised the
Khedive not to reply until their govern
ments had been consulted.
It is stated that the large amount of gold
drawn from the Bank of England Wednes
day, for shipment to the United States, is a
probable precursor of larger shipments in
payment of quantities of American produce
arriving in Great Britain and France.
The steamship Algeria, from Liverpool,
arrived in New-York Wednesday, with one
hundred and thirty Sheffield cutlers on
board, under contract with a house iu
Bridgeport, Conn. They stated that they
did not leave Sheffield for want of work,
' but because they were offered better wages
in this country.
The steamer Burgas was wrecked in St.
Mary’s Bay, N. F*., on the 14th of July
When she struck, the Captain engaged the
help of fishermen and was busy saving the
cargo, when more than forty boats ap
peared, containing three or four hundred
men, who boarded the wreck and began
plundering. They carried off everything
movable, including four hundred sheep.
Three schooner loads and several small lots
of the plunder have been recovered, but
most of it remains in the hands of the ma
rauders.
In the .Maryland Democratic Conveution
yesterday, lion. William T. Hamilton, of
Washington county, was unanimously nonii
nated for Governor. C. J. M. Gwinn and
Thouias J. Keating were also unanimously
nominated for Attorney General and Comp
troller respectively.
Samuel E. Albright, of Newport, Pa., In
a fit of jealousy yesterday thot and killed
Mr. W. K. Miller, of Harrisburg, in the
house of a young lady to whom they were
both attentive. The murderer escaped.
The report Is revived that ;hc British
Government will insist upon a speedy exe
cution of the required administrative re
forms in Turkey.
It is stated that the latest proposals of
Cardinal Nina, the Papal Secretary of State,
do not satisfy Prince Bismarck, who is will
ing to ameliorate, but not repeal, the May
laws.
Another change of ministers is reported
impending in Turkey, owing to the discon
tent felt towards the present government
among the Greek inhabitants of Bulgaria.
The London Telegraph accounts for the
present entire absence of the demand for
silver from the East from the fact that there
has been a steady decrease in exports of
cotton from India. In the year ending
June, 1S79, there were exported only 646,649
bales, as compared to the exportation of
919,413 bales in 1874.
The Democratic Convention of Maryland
adopted a platform declaring that the
Democratic party by wise legislation made
specie resumption practicable, and now that
party should firmly establish the credit of
the country upon a firm basis, by founding
it upon coin exchangeablejn all markets of
the world. It also demands the enactment
of laws to prevent another fraudulent Presi
dent from being placed In the vThite House,
declares in favor of States rights, and
warmly endorses the action of the Democra
cy in the late extra session of Congress.
The Exchange Bank of Montreal has gone
into liquidation, and the news has created
great excitement iu financial circles in that
city.
It Is stated that the administration has
taken no action whatever with regard to
the De Lesseps canal scheme or for the or
ganization of an American canal company.
Mr. Hayes and his Cabinet believe that the
De Lesseps scheme will fail because of its
impracticability and for want of the co
operation of this country. A commission
of United States engineers will probably be
appointed to consider and report upon the
whole subject of inter oceanic canal com
munication.
Twenty-nine fever cases and five deaths
In all were reported in Memphis yesterday.
Of the new cases nineteen were colored; of
the deaths three were colored. The fever is
rapidly spreading, and the Committee of
Safety have sent circular letters to absent
Memphians, requesting aid for the support
of the poor now in camp. No fever is in
New Orleans, and the Board of Health de
clare it their opinion that there is not the
slighest danger of an epidemic.
The Bankers’ Convention was in session
yesterday In Saratoga and several papers of
interest to that body were read.
Health Officer Townshend, of the District
of Columbia, yesterday recommended that
all necessary measures be taken to prevent
the introduction of yellow fever into Wash
ington.
Mr. Tilden and the Presidency.—
A New York letter says: “ Mr. Tilden is
not in town just now, but his most inti
mate personal friends, it may be worth
stating, scout the story put afloat by a
Washington correspondent of the Tri
bune that in a certain contingency he
would favor.Justice Field as the Demo
cratic candidate for the Presidency. They
are confident he never made use of any
such expression. They say it is not his
habit to commit himself in that style,
and that, so far as they have any knowl
edge of his views, they are firm in the
belief that he has but one candidate, first,
last and all the time, and that is Mr.
Samuel J. Tilden.”
It is proposed to make a place for
General Grant by sending him across
the water as 3Iinister to England. This
would keep him out of the country and
away from all political questions until
next year, when the Republican conven
tion could nominate him for President,
if so disposed. Mr. Sherman, however,
will hardly assent to this suggested ap
pointment, and we apprehend his voice
will be sufficiently potent to prevent
General Grant’s being so well taken care
of at the expense of his own prospects
for the Presidential nomination.
During the month of June the damage
caused by fires in the United 8tales and
Canada amounted to $7,020,100, and
during the first six months of 1879 the
loss was $50,873,300. These unusually
heavy losses, taken in connection with
the exceptionally low rates at which
risks have been taken, explain why so
many of the fire insurance companies
of the country have been forced to
suspend, while others are trembling on
the verge of bankruptcy.
The widow of .Lieutenant Benner, the
yellow fever hero, has just bought a
home at Rogers Park, ten miles from
Chicago, with the money raised by her
husband's friends and by the Chamber
of Commerce of New York city.
The Florida Canal Project
A Washington special to* the New
York Post says the topic of the hour in
that city seems to be canals. The in
terest awakened in the different projects
to pierce the Isthmus of Darien has been
further stimulated by the talk of a ship
canal across Florida, and between the
two the air is laden with engineering
rumors. The company which proposes
to cut a ditch across Florida is also
French, leading one to suppose that capi
tal in that thrifty countiy favors specu
lative ventures of this sort. The
energy shown by the Florida French
Company has revived a project la
which English capital is interested to
construct a canal across Florida, using
the Suwannee and 8t. Mary’s rivers and
the Okcefenokee swamp as a line of opera
tions. This line* which is very nearly the
same as that projected by the late Colo
nel Raifoid and advocated in these
columns would be a longer, but, it
19 believed, a much cheaper route
than that proposed by the French
company The St. John’s river route
would have a scanty water supply
for locks, while the rise of the land would
necessitate deep and expensive cuts for a
tide water canal. Both companies, it is
said, stand ready to undertake the work.
The English line taps the Mississippi
river below New Orleans, follows the
coast line to the Suwannee river, and
thence cuts across to Brunswick. General
Fremont is now superintending some
final surveys on this route. It is recom
mended by General Gillmore as the most
feasible. E. J. Reed, M. P., the distin
guished English naval constructor and
engineer, will come to this country in
October to represent the English com-
pany-
“ The fortunes of the enterprise,” says
the Post's correspondent, “ are watched
with interest by the class of Southern
ers who believe in the business pos
sibilities of their part of the country.
A New Orleans gentleman resident in
Washington said to me that a Florida
canal would be of inestimable benefit
to the former city, bringing it three days
nearer to New York and to Europe, and
making the route thither so much safer
as to tell very favorably on marine in
surancc. Taken in connection with the
Eids jetty improvements, he thought
such a canal would make New Orleans a
formidable rival of Northern shipping
ports, and hence that the canal might
expect to awaken the hostility of the
trunk railroad lines which now carry
breadstuffs and stock to Atlantic ports.”
Government Clerks Swindled.—A
Chicago dispatch states that a young man
giving the name of Silas Patterson, and
claiming to be a son of ex-Senator Pat
terson, of South Carolina, made his ap
pearance in that city a few days ago
bearing letters of introduction to govern
ment officials from Secretory Sherman
Attorney General Devens and Postmaster
General Key. lie represented that he
had lost $18,000 during the races through
injudicious bets made on losing horses.
He expected to receive money from
Washington in a few diys, he said, aud
would in the meantime like to borrow
some money on diamonds which he had
gathered together. Somewhere in the
neighborhood of $3,000 or $4,000 was
raised by the contributions of clerks in
the government building. He had ac
complished this much when the agent of
a diamond firm stepped upon the scene
and claimed the diamonds which young
Patterson had brought with him. They
were furnished to him by Patrick D.
Carter to sell on commission. Whether
or not he is really a son of ex-Senator
Patterson was not known. However,
judging from the character of his per
formances, there would seem to be very
little room for doubt in regard to that
matter.
Some Memphis negroes, preferring to
stay in the city during the yellow fever
term, got their backs up when requested
to go. to the camps provided for tkfcm
outside of the city, and have sent to the
country a most terrible account of the
“persecution,” etc., to which they have
been subjected. The truth i3, says the
Courier-Journal, these negroes wanted to
stay in town and avail themselves of the
opportunities for plunder which might
present themselves during the absence
of property owners. The provision made
for the poor in the camp is ample, and,
of course, the stories of “persecution’’
are fraudulent. These same negroes
have been deliberately advised by
Northern Republican organs to bill as
many whites as they can during the pre
valence of the fever, and this bloody
counsel is entirely in keeping with the
present state of Republican morality.
That party is in a terribly desperate con
dition.
The Tenth Census—General Walker’s
Reply to fir. Kennedy.
General Francis A. Walker, Superin-
tendent of the * Census, has written a re
ply to the various attacks made upon
him and the existing census law by Mr.
J. C. G. Kennedy, former superintendent
of the census, which attacks culminated
in a communication to the Senate on
June 21, 1879. that was referred to the
Committee on the Census and ordered to
be printed. General Walker -uses some
very brisk and caustic expressions m his
reply. The following is a summary of
the points presented;
Gen. Walker says that Mr. Kennedy
Is wrong in saying that the present law
does not regulate the compensation of
enumerators* whereas it does that thin;
specifically. Mr. Kennedy had declan
that there is nothing in the present law
to prevent the employment of 10,000
men, besides enumerators, for a year, at
six dollars per day and traveling ex
penses. Mr. Walker shows that to do
this would cost thirty millions of dollars,
whereas the total cost of enumerating,
printing, and every other expense con
nected with taking the tenth census is
strictly limited by law' to three million
dollars, with no possible chance for “ex
tras.” These figures remind Gen. Walker
of gome of Mr. Kennedy’s remarkable sta
tistical achievements in connection with
the compilation of the eighth census.
Only a robust intellect, he thinks, could
accomplish such feats. Mr. Kennedy
charges the present act with leaving out
provisions for the valuation of real and
personal estate. Gen. Walker shows
that this important feature has been
si.nply transferred from the population to
the social schedule, where it more properly
belongs. Mr. Kennedy declares that the
project of State censuses under Federal
subvention is merely a device to protract
the services of the superintendent. Gen.
Walker pronounces the charge “not only
false but calumnious,” and says that the
particular provision originated in Con
gress and was not suggested by him at
all. Gen. Walker adds that such a charge
would be funny, made against an officer
who finished up bis work in three years
by one who left his half completed at the
end of six, “if the sense of humor could
coexist with the indignation which such
a wanton calumny must arouse.” Mr.
Kennedy objects to the early organiza
tion of the census bureau, but General
Walker shows that Mr. Kennedy drew
salary for eleven months before his reg
ular appointment, in order to enable him
to prepare for the census of 1860. Other
of Mr. Kennedy’s charges are met by
General Walker with a “flat denial,” and
in unqualified terms he declares that Mr.
Kennedy’s document is characterized by
an “utter disregard to fairness, truth and
ordinary decency.”
The Khedive's Privy Purse.—The
late Khedive, in going to Constantinople,
seems to have determined to depart en
grande tenue. He is reported to have
carried off with him not less than $30,
000,000. This is a Jarge privy purse,and
will probably, enab’c the late Viceroy of
Egypt to go to Paris and see the opera,
of which he is so fond, at the- fountain
head in the magnificent new Opera
House. The money, however, may jet
be recovered from the ex-Viceroy. It
certainly is not his, because at the time
that his financial difficulties and those of
Egypt began he made over all his im
mense estates to the State. It is money
extorted from the unhappy fellahs and
sequestered from the funds intended to
pay the numerous creditors of Egypt If
some of the enterprising bondholders of
that country could contrive to seize his
effects as those of an absconding debtor,
they might make things very uncomfort
able for Ismail.
The Chlli-PernTian War—Important
News.
The Wall street, New York, house of'
W. R. Grace & Co. received on Tuesday
last a copy of the following dispatch sent
by the Peruvian Consul at Panama to the
Peruvian Charge d’Affairs in New York:
“The Peruvian war vessels Huascar
and Union have been visiting Chilian
ports, destroying launches and capturing
the steamer Rimac with the cavalry reg
ment Zungay. fully armed and equipped
and also three vessels loaded with coa
and copper."
This, says the Commercial Bulletin, is
an offset to the Chilian invasion of Peru
is the early stages of the war. The
’-Huascar” also is showing itself to be an
excellent vessel. But Just out of a severe
conflict in the Iqoiqne harbor, in which
she vanquished two Chilian vessels, we
find her pursuing the most vigorous
measures along the enemy’s coast and
capturing a steamer with an entire cav
alry regiment on board. It is, however,
of paramount importance with Peru to
finish this conflict speedily. Her pecu
niary resources are limited, more so than
those of her enemy; so that if the war
should be protracted. Chili, having the
longer purse, will inevitably come out
ahead. Chili cannot stand much longer
these repeated reverses. The loss of two
war vessels and a whole cavalry regiment
is a very serious affair to a countiy whose
war vessels can be counted on one’;
fingers, and whose regiments can be sub
jected to the same method of computa
tion.

A London dispatch of the 2d of August
to the Cincinnati Enquirer says:
hot dispute has arisen between Gilbert,
Sullivan and the directors of the Opera
Comique Company concerning the prop
erty in the copyright of the opera bouffe
-Pinafore.’ The directors to-day forci
bly entered the theatre during the per
formance and seized the properties, in
cluding the big gun used in the piece.
The proceedings of the directors created
quite a panic among the audience, many
of whom stampeded, causing a conster
nation which at one time threatened the
lives of many persons. The dispute
ended in the institnlion of proceedings
in both the Chancery and police courts.’
Kentucky's Lice Piusonkks.—The
Kentucky penitentiary has sixty life
prisoners, and the probability is that the
number will be greater before it is less.
The difficulty of properly guarding this
class of convicts is bad enough of itself,
but iu a sanitary way the prison is so
badly managed that fifty two deaths have
occurred in it since the 1st of January
last, a mortality of more than 10 per
cent, of the number confined. The life
prisoners are usually of a bad class, and
it is thought that the united action of
thirty of them could easily effect a gen
eral release of the convicts. A gang of
five escaped on the 31st ult., of which
three, however, have been recaptured.
It is urged that it would be better to
bang the convicts than keep them in this
dangerous way.and some of the Kentucky
newspapers are so arguing.
It is announced that experiments with
Chinese labor in the South will soon be
made on a scale which will prove
whether this class of help can be advan
tageously employed or not. It is stated
that arrangements have been perfected
by which any desired number of the Ce
lestials can be furnished the planters by
the middle of September. They will
contract to work from twelve to fifteen
months at $12 a month and a pound and
a half of rice per day, with fifty cents
per week in lien of other rations, wages
berng payable at the end of each month
in current funds. The laborers under
this contract are to work twenty-six
days in each month, and all lost time is
to be deducted. The cost of transporta
tion on the- Mississippi south of Mem
phis will be $45 per head, to be advanced
by the planter, and deducted from the
wag03 of laborers at the rate of $5 a
month.
A Vote-Impobteii Sentenced.—Jas
H. 'Wiikerson has been convicted of par
ticipation in a conspiracy to import into
Jennings county persons not residents of
that county to vote at the October elec
tion in 1878 for a Representative in Con
gress from the Fourth Congressional Dis
trict of Indiana. Wiikerson wa3 sen
tenced to imprisonment for one year in
the State prison, Judge Gresham remark
ing Hint, “if the principle of governing
by the majority under proper limitations
i3 to be maintained the elective franchise
must be sacredly guarded; that unscru
pulous tricksters, who conspire to pre
vent a fair and honest expression of the
popular will through the ballot box,
should be punished with a severity that
will deter others from committing simi
lar offences.”
There is some apprehension in England
lest the military revival in China shall
result in a tendency to make foreign
conquests. The Imperial Government
seems inclined to meet Russia in Eastern
Turkestan and wrest Kuldja from the
Czar, and a Chinese descent upon
Burmah and Nepanl is mentioned as one
of the possible events. Should China
undertake to advance westward, the
movement would be slow. General
Tso’s army was a solid year marching on
Kashgar, which was conquered some
months ago. After he reached his desti
nation he made thorough work of his
enemies, and in an advance on Burmah
and Nepaql Are Chinese could lose five
million soldiers yrf$#ut being greatly
embarrassed.
The Silk Istjostry.—A correspond
ent of the New York flribune, writing
from Venice in relation to sflk raising
it the Austrian frontier, represents
that if this industry is to be developed in
the .United States it is absolutely neces
sary that a heavy duty should be placed
upon cocoons and raw silk, which are
new admitted free of duty. Unless this
duty is bapog&l he regards it as hopeless
to compete with the Chinese and Italian^
The Now Orleans Times had one of its
reporters committed for twenty-four
hours to the parish prison with $ view

The death of Rev. Edward Doyle,
Catholic priest, of yellow fever, at 3Iem-
phis, Tenn., Monday, is universally re
gretted in that city. He came to Mem
phis in last December and was assigned
to duty at St Patrick’s Church. When
the fever made its appearance last month
he was most active in advising and caus
ing the removal of the people of his faith
to Camp Father Matthew. He was pros
trated last Thursday and was progressing
favorably until Sunday afternoon, when,
being left alone by his nurse, he arose
from his bed and seating himself at his
desk began writing some letters. - Dr.-
Sim, his physician, found him thus en
gaged on entering his room and imme
diately ordered him to bed. His fever
soon returned and with fatal effect, as he
died at four o’clock Monday afjtemoqn.
Down to Dixie.—An immense crowd
of colored people left Harrisburg, Pa.,
Monday, on an excursion to Winchester,
Ya. 31 any of the excursionists are na
tives of the Shenandoah valley, and now
visit their old homes for the first time
since the war. As the train moved out
of the depot an old colored woman
shouted, “Gwine down to Dixie.’
“Gwine to see old mossa and mistress/
cried others, clapping their hands.
“Gwine down to de old plantation,” ex
claimed an old gray-haired man, and all
the crowd shouted with joy at the pros
pect which that announcement opened
to them.
The supply of quicksilver exceeds the
demand, and the prices have fallen to
thirty-three cents a pound in San Fran
cisco, which is twenty per cent, less than
it was ever known before. The Alta
California states that the managers of the
mines have been too anxious for imme
diate results and made more than the
world is in the habit of taking. They
have also been making improvements in
the methods of extracting the metal, so
that while the ore has been decreasing
the product has been increasing.

While on the cutter Grant off the
coast of 31ainc Secretary Sherman and

Secretaiy struck the first fish. It
weighed five hundred and fifty pounds,

There appears to be small likelihood
that Mrs. Dorsey’s will bequeathing
Jefferson Davis her fortune of a quarter

bat so far the evidence of undue influ
ence appears to be too flimsy to make it
probable that any lawyer will take up the
contest.
New Rapid Transit Schemes.—The
New York Rapid Transit Commissioners
on Monday opened books of subscription
to the capital stock of the West Side and
Yonkers Railway Company, and in a
few minutes all the capital stock, $400,
000, was subscribed for and the books
closed. Books for subscription to two
more rapid transit companies will be
opened In New York during the week.
The Houston (Texas) Telegraph says:
There is not the slightest shadow of

No Fever and No Danger of an Epi
demic in New Orleans*
*
By Telegraph to the Morning deice.
Memphis,August 7,12 x.-Elcven new cases
of fever were reported this morning, seven
of whom are colored. The whites are 3Cike
Dwyer, John Sw&nander, J. M. Tigfce, and
Miss Amelia Herman. Two deaths have oc
curred tiuce last night—Mike Holly and
Leonce Cherot, a prescription clerk at Mo-
nier’s drag store, on Beal street. Mrs. J.
31. Tighe is also down with the fever at her
residence on Walker avenue, beyond the
city limits. Ed. Moon is still alive.
The weather Is sultry. Heavy storms pre
vailed last night north of Memphis, and a
slight shower fell in the city shortly before
daylight this morning.
Memphis, August 7, 6 p. m.—Twenty-nine
cases in all, including five mentioned last
night, were reported for the twenty-four
hoars ending at 6 p. m. Nineteen of these
were golored. Among the whites reported
this afternoon were R. E. Webb, Lizzie
Gatchell, and Lillie Todd. Three additional
deaths have occurred—Kate Holly, Fred.
Hollander and Jesse Heard, colored.^ This
marked increase in the number of new cases
plainly indicates that' the fever Is rapidly
spreading. The Howard Association to-day
assigned twenty-five additional nurses to
duty. Their daily expenses now aggregate
near five hundred dollars.
Ed. Moon’s condition to-night is more fa
vorable. R. E. Webb is in a critical condi
tion. Mrs. Flago and her remaining two
children weie prostrated this evening.
Their cases will be reported to-morrow.
The entire family,mother and four children,
are down with the disease.
Commencing to morrow, a semi-weekly
mail will be received and 6ent to Grenada,
Miss., via the Mississippi and Tennessee
Railroad.
It rained heavily this afternoon, and
another storm from the south is threatened.
The Committee of Safety have sent circular
letters to absent Memphians in other cities
asking their assistance in supporting the
poor now In camp.
New Orleans, August 7.—The Board of
Health to-night adopted the following:
Resolved, That there is not now a single
case of yellow fever, in this city or on the
environs of New Orleans; that in the opin
ion of the board, concurred in, we believe,
by the entire medical profession of this city,*
there is no likelihood of an epidemic aris
ing this summer from past or fnture coses,
should such occur. Grave danger is to be ap
prehended from the introduction of foreign
cases, which the Board of Health is deter
mined to avert by the strictest and most
unremitting vigilance.
The above ,resolution was preceded
by the declaration that the city is en
tirely free from contagions disease, and sug
gesting that qoarantine against New Or
leans be removed. The board granted Dr.
Choppin leave of absence nntfl lie recovers
his health. Information has been received
that the quarantine against New Orleans has
been removed by Grenada, 3Iiss., and other
points on the Jackson road.
Washington, August 7.—Health Officer
Townshend to-day recommended to the
District Commissioners that inspectors be
appointed to board all trains and boats
bringing passengers .from the South, and
take such measures as may be necessary to
prevent the introduction of yellow fever.

THE MARYLAND DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
Baltimore. August 7.—The platform
adopted by the Democratic State Conven
tion to-day is largely taken up with local
questions. Clauses which relate to national
issues declare that an economical adminis
tration of public affairs by the Democratic
Conservative party made resumption of
specie payments possible, and that it is the
duty of that party now to firmly establish
the credit of the country upon a basis of
coin, exchangeable in all markets of the
world. It asserts that (he Democratic party
was deprived of the fruits of its victory *
1876, and demands an enactment of laws
prevent a recurrence of. the offense. It de
clares that the Democratic party rests its
construction of the Constitu
tion, as regards States rights,
upon the tenth amendment, which
its representatives have violated bv inter
ference with State elections and by the use
of troops at the polls, finally, it returns
thanks to the members of the Democratic
party In Congress for securing impartial
trial by jury in the Federal Courts; for the
abolltiou of the test oath, and for their
manly stand against Republican encroach
ments upon the constitutional limitations.
After the adoption of the platform, the con

THE DARIEN CANAL SCHEME.
Washington, August 7.—As the result of
a thorough inquiry at the 8tate Department
and an interview with the President this af
ternoon, it may be authoritatively stated
that no action has been taken, and no cor
respondence had Dy this government either
with regard to the DeLesseps canal scheme
in its relations to our foreign policy, or with
regard to the farther exploration of the
isthmus by another government .expedition,
with a view to the organization of an Ameri
can canal company. As far as DeLesseps’
scheme is concerned, both the President
and Secretary of State are firmly convinced
that no exigency is likely to arise which can
cause disquietude or make it necessary for
this government to take steps for the protec
tion of American interests. They believe that
M. De Lesseps and the Paris Congress have
selected an impracticable route, and that
De Lesseps’ scheme will eventually fail
through lack of financial support and for
want of American co-operation. A com
mission of United States engineers will
probably be appointed to consider and re
port upon the whole subject of inttroceanic
canal communication.
THE BANKERS’ CONVENTION.
Saratoga, August 7.—In the Bankers’
Convention an address was read by the State
Assessor, Briggs, in favor of national banks,
and strongly against State banks. A paper,
prepared by J. W. Proctor, of Kentnck;
was also read, entitled “How shall we oi
tain needed legislation?” Hugh 8. Hen
ning, of Pennsylvania, then offered a reso
lution requesting the Executive Council to
devise and report some feasible plan for
bringing before Congress the subject of un
just and enormons taxes now assessed on
national banks. Referred to the Executive
Committee.
Special Tclear am to the Homing Neva.
Atlanta, August 7.—-The Senate spent
the entire session to-day discussing the bill
to lease the Macon & Brunswick Railroad
Various amendments were offered but there
is a strong disposition to stick to the bill,
All but one section were adopted when the
body adjourned.
The House passed the bill creating
Board of Police Commissioners for Augusta,
The special order of the day was the bill
to lease the Macon & Brunswick Railroad,
which was postponed for the present, as the
Senate is discussing a similar bilL
Mr. Chambers, of Wiikerson, offered the
following resolution, which was adopted:
Resolved, That the principal keeper of the
penitentiary Is hereby instructed to furnish
immediately to this. House a detailed state
ment of all moneys received by him, either
individually and as principal keeper of the
peniteutlary from lessees of the convicts, or
any other person or corporation for the ex
pensesof transportation of convicts since
October 20th. 187S, said statement to show
the amounts received, from whom received,
when received, and the disposition made of
Buch sums as may have been received.
Several local bills were discussed, and a
number of bills were taken up on their
second reading and passed to a third read
ing.
THE OGLETIIORPES.
They Are Still Having a Splendid
Time.
The Hew York Tribune admits that
there was a plot conceiyen} by the Repub
licans in 1877 to seize Mr, Tilden and
confine him in Fortress Monroe. This
organ of the Dacolts justifies the scheme
on the ground that opposition to the Re
publican party is treason. Democrats
can judge of what may be expected of
this revolutionary party should it be suc
cessful next year. All measures, how
ever tyrannical and unlawful, will be
justified on the ground of party expedi
ency. A party which has held on to the
government by cruel fraud and every
species of crime will make a league with
hell itself to keep in power. That is the
Republican party.

FAILURE—DECREASE OF INDIAN COTTON EX
PORTS.
London, August 7 —Lorraine «fc Co., East
India merchants of this city, have failed:
liabilities A$42,000.
The Telegraph 1 * financial article says:
“The entire absence of the demaud for sil
ver from the East is, to some extent, ac
counted for by the steady decrease in the
exports of cotton from India. In the year
ending June, 1879, only 646 619 bales were
exported, as compared with 919,413 bales in
1874.”

to capture his brother Cetywayo.”

much less than you doi remember the
reply of Dr. Wayland to the student of
Brown University, who said it was an
easy enongh thing to make proverbs such
as Solomon wrote. “Make a few,”
tersely replied the old man. And we
never heard that the young man made
any. Hot more than two or three, any
how. The world has great need of
yonng men, but no greater need than
the young men have of it Your
clothes fit you better than your father’s
fit him; they cost more money, they are
more stylish, your mustache is neater,
the cut of your hair is better, and you
are prettier, oh, far prettier, than “pa.”
But, yonng man, the old gentleman gets
the biggest salary, and bis homely, scram
bling signature on the business end of a
check will drain more money out of the
bank in five minutes than yon could get
out with a ream of paper and a copper
plate signature in six months. Young
men are useful, son, and they are orna
mental, and we all love them, and we
couldn’t engineer a picnic successfully
without them. But tl ey are not novelties,
son. Oh, no, nothing of the kind. They
have been here before. Don’t be so
modest as to shot yourself clear out: but
don’t be so fresh you will have to be put
away in the cool to keep from spoiling.
Don’t be afraid that your merit will not
be discovered. People all over the world
are hunting for you, and if you are worth
finding they will find yon. A diamond
isn't so easily found as a quartz pebble,
bat people search for it all the more in
tently. _

CURED OF DRINKING.
“A young friend of mine was cured of an |
insatiable thirst for liquor, that had so pros
trated his system that he was unable to do
any business. He was entirely cored by the
use of Hop Bitters. It allayed all that
burning thirst; took away the appetite for

remained a sober and steady man for more

New Yoke’s Free Baths.—Not less
than forty thousand men and boys
availed themselves of the privileges of
New York’s free baths Saturday last.
From fire o'clock in the morning until
nine in the evening each of the seven
free bathing houses was crowded to its
utmost capacity. The greatest difficulty
arises in keeping those out who have
once been in. On account of the limited
accommodations one bath a day is oil
that is allowed to each comer, but .the
little fellows soil their faces and hands
with dirt as soon as they get out, ami
with their cropped hair quickly dried are
thus in a few minutes enabled to pass in
spection and get several baths daring the
day. During the week ending Saturday
last 110,723 girls and women and 161,909
boys and men enjoyed the luxury of
free baths.
A striking advance in methods of
bnilding railroads is noted in a letter to
the New York Tribune from its corre
spondent in Colorado. Mountain ranges
are conquered on an entirely new plan. !
Instead of making the whole road-bed as
nearly level as it can be made, and in
doing this necessarily going to great ex
pense, the new policy is to follow the
natural grades, so far as possible, and to
bring the heaVy grades as near together
as they can be brought. The old plan
involves a heavy expenditure along the
whole tine; the new plan involves the
purchase of a few locomotives of extra
weight to carry trains over the heavy
grades. Narrow-gauge railroads are
growing rapidly in the Rocky Mountains,
and a road across the great range is
already promised.

This is the way swindling horse jock
eys operate in Philadelphia: They have
a stable ostensibly for the purchase aad
sale of horses. When a countryman en
ters to look at the stock a practically
valueless horse is offered to him for $150.
A bystander offers $200, but the dealer
angrily says that he will not sell to^ this
man at any price, having had a previous
quarrel with him. The nystander draws
the countryman aside ana says: “Buy
.the horse for $150 and I’ll take him oil
your hands at $200.” This seems to
offer a chance to make $50 without risk,
bat the victim, after paying the $150 for
the beast, does not see any more of the
promised purchaser with the $20Q.
Little Bird, daughter of a Sioux chief,
was pretty enough to have white lovers.
John Provost, one of these suitors, stole
a horse to give to her father, the Indian
custom being to begin courtship with a
present. It happened that the horse be-
onged to Clement Bernard, who also de
sired to marry Little Bird. He tracked
the thief to the dnsky maiden’s wigwam,
and, by telling what his rival hod done,
won her preference. Provost immedi
ately proved the sincerity of iiisjoye by
committing suicide. Not long afterward
Bernard was found dead with a bullet
Jiole in his head, and it is believed that
he was shot by Provost’s brother.
Capt John Brown, - Jr., after passing I
a week among the colored- refugees in
Kansas, writes to the Cleveland (O.)
Leader that the labor market is so far |
supplied that wages are generally low.
Breaking new land, preparing for fall!
sowing and gathering the corn crop will
furnish work until the cold weather setq
in; then want and great suffering must
be the lot of him who is homeless and j
without bread. 1 - •-
