Columbus. The pockets of the pants were
tamed inside out, and his shoes were off.
There were evident signs of a struggle, and

The Home negroes propose to indulge in
a masquerade at Christmas.
It must be a nice thing to be editor of a

changes announce that, inasmuch as one
day this week is Christmas day, they will
is.'Ue no paper at all during the week, and
some of them go so far as to say they in
tend to take two weeks’ holiday. Evidently
they are determined to have a merry time at
all hazard;
The Home Tribune demands that the law
against drunkenness be rigidly enforced in
that city during Christmas week, without
fear, favor or partiality.
Ou Friday evening last a negro woman on
the plantation of Captain Poe, eight or ten
miles from Columbus, gave a wedding sup
per to her daughter. The woman was in
apparently good health at the time the mar
riage ceremony was performed, but in half
an hour afterwards was taken suddenly ill
and died in a few minutes.
We return thanks to friend R. W. Grubb,
of Darien, for an invitation to be present
at a grand Masonic soiree, to be given there
on St. John’s day, the 26th instant. It will
doubtless be an enjoyable occasion, and we
regret our inability to be present.
The recent case of body snatching in Cobb
couuty, where the grave of Mr. William
Johnson, an old and prominent citizen, was
robbed, has caused great excitement, and
George Vaughn, the colored janitor of the
Atlanta Medical College, has been arrested
on suspicion of having stolen the body. A
reporter of the Atlanta Constitution, com
menting on this case, says: “Public senti
ment seems to be going against this prac
tice, and it is having some effect, for the
price of corpses is rising, and the fellow
who snatches one now can get almost any
price he may ask for it.
The municipal election which came oil on
Saturday, the 13th inst. in Brunswick, was a
a very exciting one. Two tickets, headed
by Messrs. James F. Nelson and John B.
wick Railroad, for two dollars per acre, giv
ing them four years’ time to pay for it. This
does not look as if Northerners were not
wanted in the South.”
Dr. George Little,” says an exchange,
‘‘who was State Geologist before the de
partment was discontinued, says that a
yield of ten million dollars worth of bullion
might be produced in Georgia every year
without exhausting the ore within this or
the next generation. The field is simply
illimitable. Within the past year rich and
abundant veins have been discovered in
Oglethorpe, Elbert and even Wilkes coun
ties, a region that has not heretofore been
supposed to contain any gold deposits at all.
These new veins are working out well, and
the stories told of their richness rival.the old
time bonanza tales of California.”
The Darien Timber Gazette records the fol
lowing “good shot:” “On Friday morning
last Mr. John W. Hebbard, who resides on
the Ridge, while coming from the house,
had his attention called to a pair of eagles
which were perched in a pine about three
hundred yards from the dwelling. Mr. H.,
thinking he might prove his fitness to be
come a member of the American Rifle Team
in their next match, brought out his Ilenry
rifle, and after adjusting the sights, drew a
bead on one and fired; his aim was true and
tPtieB aW ; ” 4 „ ground without a
fl sji. its majestic wings, the ball having
entered its breast, coming out between the
wings. It measured six and a half feet
from tip to tip of wings. Mr. Hebbard
brought the eagle to the city and turned it
over to Mr. Cotter who is trying his 6kill as
a taxidermist, and he will no doubt have an
addition to his collection of curiosities, as
the work of setting it up is progressing
quite satisfactorily."
We learn from the Darien Gazette that
“the bark Kong Eysteln, which is loading
at Doboy, was on Friday evening last, 12th
inst., in danger of parting her lines during a
slight blow which came up suddenly. The
officer in charge ordered one of the seamen
named Nicholas Olsen to take an additional
ashore and make the vessel secure.
Olsen had gotten the line ready and was on
the rail of the bark preparatory to getting
down In the small boat, when he slipped
and fell over tbe side of the vessel, striking
on his head on some timber which was along
side for the purpose of loading, and broke
his neck.”
In regard to the recent death in Darien of
Mr. Charles A. Davis, formerly of Savannah,
and of which mention was made in these
columns at the time, the Timber Gazette says:
“The sudden death of Mr. Charles A. Davis,
so sudden as to be tragic, at the Magnolia
House in this place, on the morning
of the 17th instant, has created a pro
found sadness in the circle of his acquain
tance. He had been in ill health and under
the care of Dr. Harris for some time, but
not supposed by his friends to be in any
immediate danger. On Wednesday last,
which was a beautiful day, he expressed
himself as feeliugunusually well. When he
got up from the breakfast table, however,
he was observed to stagger, and the head
waiter, who was standing by, had barely
time to catch Mr. Davis in his arms to pre
vent him from falling to tbe floor. At the
same time a profuse and violent hemorrhage
of the lungs supervened, and, although Dr.
Coyle, who was present, immediately ad
ministered the usual remedies employed in
such cases, they were unavailing, and in less
than five minutes from the moment that he
fell Mr. Davis bad ceased to live. ,r
We are informed,” says tbe Ilawkins-
ville Dispatch, “that Bryant Edmonson, near
Hayneville, Houston county, made last
year twenty-one bales of cotton, eight hun
dred bushels of corn, and four hundred
bushels of oats, besides peas, potatoes, etc.
The entire plowing was done with two
mules and a mare. One mule was twenty-
two years old, and the other forty years old,
and the mare twenty-five years old. Mr.
Edmonson is said to be eighty years of age,
and has been able to sell com, oats and
meat to his neighbors the present year.
When we remember this, together with the
fact that Uncle Nat Statham, of Wilcox
county, is in his eighty-fifth year, and is
cutting his third set of teeth, we don’t care
a cent about the Grant boom in Georgia
and tbe usury law of the last Legislature.”
The ThomasviUe Times believes in giving
politics a back seat for the present. It
says: “Talk about the Grant boom, Bayard
boom, Sherman boom and all other booms,
but the boom we’re most interested in is the
ThomasviUe boom. Let us take care of our
town and section by building up schools and
colleges, by fostering and increasing our
commerce, calling into activity all the latent
energies of the place and people. The place
has made a strong and most determined
fight for herself in the past few years; let
her not relax a single muscle now. Never
was there more necessity for united action
on the part of her citizens in order to main
tain and increase her prosperity, and never
was there a brighter prospect for a success
ful issue of such efforts. Let every edge be
made to cut—both ways.”
Says the Columbus Times: “Leven Crews,
a very prominent negro man, died at his
residence about teu miles from this city yes
terday, in the eightieth year of his age. At
the close of tbe late war, Leven, like most
of the other negroes, had but little else than
his freedom to start out in the battle of life.

attentiveness to bis own business, succeeded
In buying himself a comfortab’e home,
together with three hundred acres of land.

The Stewart Cathedral Organ
The great organ now building for the
Stewart Cathedral, at Garden City, L. L,
will be not only the largest in this
country* but tbe Iar fi cst and in many
respects the most remarkable organ in
the world. It will have one hundred
and twenty speaking stops, thirty-six
more than liie Boston organ, nine more
than the great instrument in Albert Hall,
London, and will cost $40,000. The
ed age, she was possessed of a I f 0 j low j n g paragraph gives some of the
new and peculiar features of the Stewart
Cathedral organ:
“When placed in position it will occu
py four different parts of the cathedral.
The main body of the instrument will
stand in the chancel, where tbe organist
will sit. In the tower of the west end
of the building, directly behind a large
stained window, is a room, in which a
part of the organ will be placed, to he
connected with the chancel by electricity.
The window will be opened and closed
by the electrical apparatus, controlled by
, the organist from the chancel, which will

knowledge of the transactions and the rc-
ng loss fell upon the Western and New
lork brokers to whom the orders were sent.
Porter is supposed to have^gone to Colorado,
aud left without taking any baggage with
him.
The Macon Tdeyraph reports the following
wonderful case. It says that a few dajs
since, in the Warrior district, a little colored
eirl on the place of Mr. M. G. Newman
swallowed a common cockle burr, and was
unable to dislodge it. The neck of the girl
became very much swollen, and a tube was
inserted through the neck, through which
“he breathed for several days. The opera
tion was skillfully performed by Drs. Wor
sham and VanYalkenburg, who also suc
ceeded iu dislodging the cause of the trou
ble.
The Athens Dinner tells of a “champion
old
well as from tbe chancel. Tbe famous
centennial chimes in the tower are also
to be connected with tbe chancel by elec-
tricity, so that the organist can strike
them from the keys of the organ. The
bellows will be operated by hydraulic
engines.”

GBEAT CONSERVATIVE DEMONSTRATION AT
LEEDS.
London, December 20. — Sir Stafford
Northcote, Chancellor of the Exchequer,
delivered an address to-dav at a great Con
servative demonstration at Leeds. He made
a detailed reply to the recent speech of
members of the Liberal party, and com
plained that Gladstone’s comparison of the
expenditures of the Liberal and Conserva
tive governments was fallacious, as he
made no allowance for the extraordinary
war expenditures necessitated by the
Eastern complications. The tone of
John Bright’s recent speech at
the Potter banquet, he said, was
remarkable. Bright had gone as near as pos
sible to recommending a republic in Eng
land, and, comparing tbe United States to
the British Empire, he had pointed out that
the wide extent of the latter was merely a
cause of weakuess. The Chancellor assert
ed that the policy of the government iu Af
ghanistan was one of defense, not of an
nexation. They still adhered to the poliej -
set forth iu the treaty of Gandamuk, but
wished Afghanistan to receive a government
suitable to its population, so that the coun
try might, form a barrier between India aud
any power that might encroach upon it.
lie assured his auditors that the govern
ment was concealing nothing relative to the
situation in Afghanistan. The government,
be said, would take measures to alle
viate the distress iu Ireland without pau
perizing the population; but, while care
ful of the material prosperity of Ireland,
they would, above all, insist upon tbe main
tenance of law and order, and would never
coquette with any demands for home rule
which responsible statesmen of all parties
know to be impossible.
THE AFGHANISTAN TROUBLES.
London, December 20. — It is official
ly announced that a dispatch from Gen
eral Bright, dated December 3th, in
formed the Viceroy of India that if Gen
eral Gough was unable to force his way
into Cabul with his brigade, he, General
Bright, proposed that as soon as arrange
ments could be made to hold the posts
from India to Guubamukand, to advance ou
Cabul with his division, numbering eight
thousand men.
A telegram from Siezeran, dated to-day,
says there is no serious fighting. All is well.
The Russian press is very violent in its
criticisms on affairs in Afghanistan. The
Gazette de St. Petersburg says: “We must
candidly confess that Russia would not
break her heart in the probable event of
General Roberts’column sharing the fate of
the Cavagnari Emb issy.”
Calcutta, December 20.—The govern
ment of Iudia has published an explanation
of the military situation in Afghanistan,
stating that General Roberts has ample
transportation and ammunition, and besides
twenty-three cannon belonging to his force
he had 214 captured cannon, many of which
are rifles. His entrenchments can be easily
held by 2,500 men, leaving 6,000 free for
offensive operations. General Bright lias
12,000 men between Jumcrod and Jagdalak,
with thirty cannon, two months’ supplies,
and complete divisional and brigade trans
ports, iucluding the force at Candahar and
in theKurum valley. Tbe total field force is
45,000 men with 160 guns, which is consid
ered ample for present requirements.
BLACK LIST OF TUE POST OFFICE DEPART
MENT.
Washington, December 20.—The Post
Office Department to-day added to its black
list of persons and firms to whom cither the
delivery of registered letters or payment of
money orders is forbidden, the names of
Martinez & Co., agents Royal Havana Lot
tery; Emilio Costello, agent Spanish Gov
ernment Lottery; Keppich X Co., and John
Dayton, aliai R. Field &. Co., representing
various American lotteries. All of the
above transact business in New York city.
Tbe department has also placed on the list
the names of A. B. Clinton, alias A- B. Coe
A Co., New Haven, Conn., and J. C- Boce-
mides, West End, Conn., the latter doing a
very extensive swindling business under
thirteen different aliases, such as
the Frankliu Publishing Company, the
Rav Printing Company, etc. He advertises
to send for fifty-four cents each a variety of
valuable articles, including standard dic
tionaries, handsomely bound, profusely
illustrated Bibles, photograph albums and
playing cards, and, without making any re
turn whatever, pockets the remittances,
which, according to the report of the de
partment’s special agent, number about $150
daily from all parts of the United States and
Canada. Some of his dupes respond to his
tempting offers with remittances as large
as $4 or $5 each.
CHEROKEE INDIANS EN ROUTE TO WASH
INGTON.
St. Louis, December 20.—W. P. Adair,
Chief and lawyer of the Cherokee Iudians,
arrived here with a delegation from his na-
tion; en route to Washington. He says the
delegation is instructed by the council of
the nation to oppose any change of govern
ment over them, and to collect from the
government a very large sum of money due
the Cherokees for lands in the Indian Ter-
tory, etc. He also says there are not ten
Iudians in the entire nation who favor a
territorial government over them; that it will
be opposed by all civilized tribes,
even to the employment of physical force.
There are thirty-eight nations and tribes and
parts of tribes, all of which would join in
opposition to the proposed form of govern
ment; that they can raise fifteen thousand
soldiers, good fighting men, most of whom
fought on both sides of the late war, and in
case of a rupture there would be a terrible
scene of blood&hed on the borders.
EXPRESS ROBBER ARRESTED.
New Orleans, December 20.—Thos.Wall,
alias Robert Smith, who robbed the South
ern Express office in this city of ten thou
sand dollars, in December, 186S, was ar
rested in Chicago a few days ago. Upon
being brought here this morning he made
confessiqn of the rpbbery, anQ being ar
raigned before the court pleaded guilty,
and was remanded to prison in default of
ten thousand dollars. His trial will take
place at an early day. The Southern Ex
press officials for the past eleven years have
made continued and persistent efforts to
secure Wall’s arrest, but they were unsuc
cessful until a few days ago. After the rob
bery Wall went to Texas, thence to New
York, where he married under the alias of
Robert Smith, and finally settled down In
Chicago.
THE CHARGES AGAINST LITTLE JOHNNY
DAVENPORT.
New York, December 20.—John J.
Davenport this morqjng filed with United
States Commissioner Duel his answer to
new charges made against him as a super
visor of elections. He denies that as super
visor he caused two thousand complaints
against voters to be made in 1878, but
admits that three hundred persons were
arrested on warrants issued by him as U nited
States Commissioner, aud claims that this
fact cannot be alleged against him as an
election officer. He also claims that the
complaints made were quite sufficient to
warrant his action, which was legal. Taking
naturalization papers away from holders is
also denied.
OHIO EXCURSIONISTS IN ATLANTA.
Atlanta, December 20.—Gov. Bishop, of
Ohio, accompanied by President Clements,
of the Cincinnati Southern Railroad, A. H.
Bugher, W. A. Gunn, J. W. Marble, E. P.
Wilson and Torn. O’Connor, were here to
day in the interests of the Cincinnati South
era Railroad. They were much pleased
with their trip, and feel sure of the succep
of the enterprise. The citizens of Atlanta
paid them great attention, and they were
impressed with the fact that Atlanta is the
real Southern terminus of the road. The
party returned to Cincinnati this afternoon.
WAR FEELING AMONG THE UTES.
Denver, December 20.—A Los Pinos dis
patch says nothing has been heard of Ouray
since his departure for the camp of the
White River Utes. There is a Btrong war
feeling among both the Uncompaghre and
White River Utes, which may yet prevent
the surrender of the parties demanded.
MARINE DISASTERS.
Washington, December 20.—The Signal
station at Cape Henry reports that the
Captain of the pilot boat Starkey says the
French steam yacht Henrietta, bound to,
Charleston, S. C., became disabled one
hundred miles southeast of Cape Henry.
The owner, H. Say, and family, were taken
aboard the brig Aabine, bound to Balti
more. The Henrietta Is supposed to be
drifting about in a helpless condition. The
owner telegraphed to Norfolk for assistance.
The station at Cape Hatteras reports the
schooner Whitney Long, bound for Port
Royal with a cargo of guano, sunk after
striking upon the Outer Diamond shoal,
and will prove a total loss. The crew of
seven were saved.
London, December 20.—The British bark
Maggie, Capt. Bush, from Charleston, S. C.,
November 6th, for Aberdeen, foundered at
sea December 4th. The crew landed safely
at Scilly.
STEAMER BURNED.
Mobile, December 20.—The steamer Mag-
;ie Burke, of the Montgomery and Mobile
fine, with eleven hundred bales of cotton,
was burned at ten o’clock this morning
at her wharf half an hour after her
arrival. The fire broke out so sud
denly that in a few minutes the steamer
was a mass of flames, and burned
to the water’s edge. About two hundred
bales of cotton had already been unloaded.
The remainder was destroyed by fire or
damaged by water. The steamers Tally and
Annie barely saved themselves by moving
cut immediately, the latter fortunately
having steamed up and towing the former.
The loss on boat and cotton amounts to
5,000, and was fully insured.
AN EVENT IN MOBILE HARBOR.
Mobile, December 20.—Last evening
about eight o’clock the steamship Mobile
arrived at the wharves of this city amid the
booming of cannon, blowing of whistles,
and cheering of the multitude which bad
assembled to welcome her here. This is the
pioneer steamship of the direct line between
Mobile and Liverpool. Capt. Harrimau
speaks in the highest terms of her sailing
qualities. She made the trip from Queens
town to Mobile In twenty days and eighteen
hours, having lost sixteen hours in a severe
gale. Mobile can furnish profitable em
ployment for sixteen more ships of the same
kind.
MILL DESTROYED.
Bennington, Vt., December 20.—Sey
mour P. Stone’s shoddy mill caught fire
from the picker this afternoon, and, with its
contents, was destroyed. Stone was in the
mill and escaped from the building, but
died shortly after, his death being caused,
it is supposed, by inhaliug the flames. Two
workmen in the mill were badly burned.
News of Stone's death, when communi
cated to his wife, threw her into the wildest
excitement, and she has since become
raving maniac.
THE TienBORNE CLAIMANT.
London, December 20.—The Daily Neirs
says: “YVe understand that steps for pro
curing a writ of error iu the case of Arthur
Orton, the Tichborne claimant, were taken
by Lord Rivers and Mr. Guild for Onslow,
under the advice of Dr. Kennealy, who ap
plied for a similar writ in 1ST4, but it was
then refused. It is stated that the case will
be taken to the House of Lords for final de
cision, and that Dr. Kennealy will exercise
his right as a member of the Irish bar to ap
pear for Orton before that tribunal.”
FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Pittsburg, December 20.—Last night the
Uuion Freight Line train on the Pennsyl
vania Railroad parted while descending a
heavy grade on the western slope of the
mountains. The engineer of the train put
on full steam, but the rear part of the train
overtook the forward portion at a crossing
aud struck it with fearful force. Five cars
were thrown from the track and wrecked.
II. B. Hoover, a brakeman, was instantly
killed.

THE HULL AND THE DEVIL-FISH,
A Combat on the Margin of tbe Sea
Between Taurus and Octopus.
Tokio (Japan) Times.
The story giveu below was communi-
eated by a correspondent: “The author
of ‘Schuyukidan,’ who lived some sixty
years ago, was once traveling in Muttu
one of the northern provinces. Walking
one day near the sea beach, he heard the
bellow of a bull, and went in the direc
tion of the noise. He was then the wit-
nes of an extraordinary combat between
some cuttle-fish and a bull. An enor :
raous poulpe, with bright purple eyes and
tenacles six feet long, had attacked the
quadruped. Throwing its arms around
the body, the monster tried to make for
the water with its captive. Meanwhile
other octopi, in large numbers and of
greater size, swarmed on to the shore,
which seemed to be alive with their big,
round heads. Some of them assisting
their comrade, soon like him attacked the
bull, dragging him down to the sea. Their
quarry, however, made a brave resistance]!
and succeeded in goring its first foe iu
the head and belly and shaking itself free
from its embrace. Before it could escape,
however, it was firmly held by a still
larger monster, while others took solicitous
care of the wounded one. The unfor
tunate beast’s bellowing attracted a crowd
of fishermen to the spot. One of these,
stronger ancl brayer tljan his fellows, his
limbs swayed in straw bandages, and a
sharp knife in his hand, boldly rushed to
the rescue of the bull and cut through the
tenacles which inclosed it. Other poulpes
then attacked the fisher, to whose aid his
fellow’s hastened, and a fierce fight ensued
between men and monsters, in which the
former were victorious, many of the
squids being killed, while the rest escaped
into the water. Two of the tenacles
wound around the bull were so heavy
that one man alone could not carry them.
One was twelve and the other six feet
long: the larger of the two was subse
quently boiled in sections at different
times in a big kettle. Some years prev
ious to this battle cattle had disappeared
in a mysterious way from the sqme shore.
The fight between the cephalopoda and
the bull enlightened the proprietors as to
the cause of their loss.”
Svecial Correspondence of the Morning Neics.
Jacksonville. Fla., December 19.—Up
to the present time, winter has touched us
very lightly. Many of the usual summer
vegetables are stili to be found In the
markets and delicate flowers have not yet
been taken under shelter. 8everal varieties
of choice roses are in full bloom and de
light the eye with their brilliant tints.
Peach and plum trees are |in flower, while
here and there an orange shows its odorous
blossoms. I saw a day or two since a cotton
plant, growing and blooming as in August.
The weather for the past month has been
all that could he desired and has fully sus
tained the reputation of Florida.
For a period there will be a lull in the
stream of travel. As a rule, the classes who
visit this State for pleasure will not arrive in
numbere until alter the holidays. They eat
their Christmas dinners at home, pay their
New Year's calls, ard having discbai^ed
their social duties, dodge the bleak winds
and heavy snows of the remainder of the
6ea6on by a sojourn of a couple of months
in our genial climate. Fashion is not so ex
acting here as in the Northern watering
daces, and her devotees are able to gather
lere strength for tbe coming summer cam
paign at Long Branch, Saratoga and New
port. There is a freedom here and a want
of that formality visible at the above resorts.
Social hops take the places of stately balls,
and the lively fiddle furnishes the music
rather than the full orchestra. Restraint is
relaxed, and the dashing belle and calculat
ing coquette are more natural beneath the
orange groves, and perhaps more danger
ous, than when pacing the lengthy corridors
of a Saratoga hotel or taking a drive on the
beach at Long Branch or Newport.
A larger number of visitors than usual
have gone up the river and into the interior.
Good and comfortable hotels have beeu
built at various points, and accommodations
are offered that could not be obtained until
recently. Jacksonville and the St. John’s
river comprise only a small portion of the
attractions to be found in Florida. Xt is a
happy thing that the current is spreading
out of its usual banks and finding new chan
nels. The tide will flow in this direction
with increasing volume from year to year,
for the country has only one Florida, and
invalids of a certain character can find no
other sanitarium. In this direction Florida
has no rival and must always maintain the
supremacy.
It is announced that the President and
two of the trustees of the great Cincinnati
Railroad, just completed to Chattanooga,
are en route to this city, with a view of
determining its adaptability as the Atlantic
outlet for this system. Gen. Gillinore’s fa
vorable report as to the feasibility of the
deepening of the bar at the mouth of the
St. John’s has given our citizens much en
couragement. A meeting was held last
Monday for the purpose of taking the pre
liminary steps for bolding a convention t<5
obtain an expression of public feeling u^ou
this important subject, an«l to bring a strong
influence to bear upon Congress through the
aid of our delegation. So between the ship
canal and the proposed railroad connection
with the great West, the hopes of our future
growth and greatness are kept fresh, and
the community is constantly held in a pleas
ant state of mental exultation.
With a depth of twenty five feet on the
bar, and a great road bringing us the pro
ducts of the mighty valley of the Missis
sippi, with a ship canal bearing past our
city the commerce of the world, who will
doubt our expansion—the giant strides
we shall make towards progress and pros
perity ? These are not idle yagaries, should
the great works contemplated ever be com
pleted.
A perfect inundation of oranges is now
passing through Jacksonville. Every child
in tbe country will expect to find one in its
stocking next Thursday morning, and the
demand just at this season must be highly
gratifying to the producers. It is an earn
est of what the business will be, say five
years hence, when the present facilities
will not be able to move the prospective
crop.
The fruit this season has been fine, large,
bright and in excellent marketable condi
tion. I have seen some bunches brought
into the city thut contained from thirty to
fifty specimens, hanging as thickly as a clus
ter of grapes. Such are eagerly purchased
by visitors and sent home as curiosities.
Some forty indictments have been found
by the grand" jury in the Circuit Court o f
this county, only four of which are against
whites. The colored people not only con
sume all of the time devoted to the criminal
docket, but receive four-fifths of the fees
paid to witnesses. Tuiy 6t*te of things :
also after fourteen years of association with
and Instruction from their Radical friends.
The education derived from their teachers
has not tended greatly to the development of
their honesty and general morality. In fact,
their difficulty of distinguishing the differ
ence between meum and tifum has been ag
gravated by the example set by their Radi
cal teacher's of the Caucasian type, whose
ideas on this subject aye singularly loose
and clouded.
Some of the negro Radical stalwarts of
Leon county, under the tutorship of “Little
Giant” Dennis, have been issuing a very
stupid address to the people of the United
States, in which they declare that they are
compelled to emigrate in consequence of
the oppression of their white employers.
They set forth low wages, insufficient food
and class legislation as the causes inducing
them to sorrowfully abandon their old
homes to cast their lot under new skies and
among strangers. All this fustian is well
understood here, and deceives none of our
people. Xo Florida negroes will emigrate.
Their votes are needed here, and qll this action
is 6imply designed t# operate bn Northern
sentiment.. The idea that suob fellows as
Pearce, Stokes, Wallace and other well
known negro leaders of Leon not getting
enough to eat is sublimely ridiculous.
These chaps glisten and shine with
plumpness, and are saturated with the rich
and succulent pieces of 6avory bacon and
melting possum. How the greasy rogues
must have chuckled in their sleeves, as
their wo-begone condition was so patheti
cally and touchingly portrayed in the reso
lutions adopted! The Radical officers in
this State have it in their power to compen
sate for much of the mischief they have
effected and for once to earn the gratitude
of the better classes by getting up an exodus
movement on a mammoth scale, and by
heading the exiles themselves. For once
in their experience they would find them
selves acting in concert with the masses of
the whites and actually receiving their cor
dial support and sympathy. It would cer
tainly be a new experience and might buve
a beneficial effect.
Some twenty five Rouble-jointed Irishmen
are now laying the water-pipes through the
city. Tjie'rapldity with ^hich they work
and the amount of labor which they accom
plish is a matter of astonishment to the
negroes, who look on in a dazed and be
wildered manner, evidently feeling that
their monopoly in this direction is in great
danger. It may be a valuable lesson for
them to learn that they are not the 6ole
“hewers of wood and drawers of water” for
the rest of mankind, and that the white
man is capable of beating them with their
own weapons.
I had a copy of the New York Herald
placed in my bands last Sunday, by Captain
Vogel, of the St. John’s,twenty hours ahead
of the mails. This fine steamer is a clip
per, and no moss is permitted to grow on
her bottom.
The detachment of our artillery company
that attended the fair at Tallahassee return
ed this moraine, and reported a very pleas
ant visit and rquch genuine enjoyment. The
fair attracted a large attendance, and proved
very successful in all of Its various depart
ments. The reunion of the First Florida
Brigade and the meeting of the Methodist
Conference, both of which gatherings oc
curred during the week, added greatly to
the interest of the occasion.
Quietly, but unfalteringly, the managers
of the State Fair, to be held in this city in
February, are pushing Its interests and per-
fec‘ing all the necessary arrangements. The
cheap excursion rates from the principal
Northern and Western cities will doubtless
draw a large number of visitors from
abroad, as well as from the State. The out
side amusements, as well as the exposition
Itself, will repay all who can make it con
venient to be present.
“Pinafore'’-’ was presented last night for
the-first time to a Jack -onville audience.
The court room was absolutely jammed,and
the opera was rendered in elegant style, to
the credit of the amateur actors and the en
tire satisfaction of the spectators.
W. H. B.
New York is about to adopt the plan
which was found successful in Detroit
and other cities of the West for furnish
ing hot water and steam to public build
ings and private residences, and author
ity has just been given to a company to
lay mains and pipes in the streets for
that purpose.
A Word for Railroads.
St. Louis Republican.
It is a fact which deserves to he stated
to the credit of the railroad management
in this country, that notwithstanding the
mighty development of this interest dur
ing the last ten years and the immense
wealth which it concentrates in a few
hands, railroad corporations have not be
come the foe to public liberty and private
rights which many persons apprehended.
Or course there are exceptions to this
general assertion; the people of the Paci
fic coast complain of the injustice of the
California Central; and the people of the
middle tier of States in the’ Mississippi
valley once had reason to com
plain of the selfishness of the Union
Pacific; but while the combina
tions controlling the great through
lines from the Atlantic to the Mississippi
have increased their power enormously
in the last few years, they have not used
this power for purposes of oppression.
On the other hand, they have steadily
lowered the rates of transportation and
increased the safety and comfort of trav
eling, as if their sole ambition was to
make railroading as simple, cheap and
beneficent as possible. The aggregate of
freights carried on three Qf the most im
portant trunk lines betwefeh the West and
the seaboard increased from 10,898,000
tons in 1868 to 25,272,000 in 1878—nn in
crease which shows how largely the gen
eral wealth of the country has grown,and
how naturally produce and merchandise
seek railroads as the avenues of carriage
to market, and the rates of carriage have
been decreased in a still greater inverse
proportion. Ten years ago the average
rate on ten of the principal lines in the
country was 2 8-10 cents per ton per mile.
This was certainly low enough; but in
1878 it had been reduced to 95-100, or
less than one cent per ton per mile.
Think of It! The internal commerce
of the country, far greater than its
whole foreign commerce, carried to
and fro between the Atlantic and the
Mississippi at a cost of only one cent a
mile for every ton—or 2,000 pounds car
ried one hundred miles for $1! Surely,
there is no extortion, and no abuse of
power iu this. Of course this low rate
was on through freight; the charges on
local freights were higher; but we have
almost ceased to hear complaints against
local rates, and the presumption is that
they, too, have shared the general reduc
tion.
What these powerful and wealthy cor
porations may do or attempt to do in the
future, wc cannot conjecture. It is cer
tain that they are not doing the country
any harm at present; they seem to be
animated by a desire to use their power
for the public good. We no longer hear
the stories, prevalent a few years ago,
about their bribing Legislatures, and the
railroad lobby, as it was called, has
become a thing of the past. A national
railroad law for the regulation of inter
state commerce is sometimes talked
about, and the corporations themselves
are not averse to it, since it would solve
_questions which they cannot solve them
selves. One thing is certain, the great
trunk lines are doing more of their own
accord to cheapen and perfect traveling
and freight transportation than all the
Legislatures of the country, even though
backed by Congress itself, could effect.
William Fredericks and John Sayers,
who were sentenced on Wednesday to
fifteen years’ imprisonment for robbery
and incendiarism in Sussex county, IT. J.,
and were being conveyed to Trenton by
the Sheriff, shackled together, jumped
from the train and were terribly injured.
They were recaptured, and begged to be
killed.
