Congressional District Executive
Committee.
The meeting of the Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee of the First Congres
sion&l District, which was called for yes
terday at the Marshall House in this city,
transacted no business of importance,
owing to the absence of a quorum. The
committee adjourned to meet at the
same place on Tuesday, October 12th,
when it is expected that every member
will be in attendance, as important mat
ters relative to the Cor gressional and
Presidential campaign will be brought
before it
The Washington Star says: “Calcu
lations as to how the next House of Rep
resentatives will stand politically are pre
cluded because of the party quarrels in
numerous districts and the large number
of independent candidates. In not a
few districts which are safely Republi
can when the party is united, divisions
Lave occurred, resulting in two candi
dates of that party. The same is true
of a number of Democratic district* in
Missouri, Virginia, Georgia and other
States. The Independent candidates
avoid any distinct declarations as to how
they will vote politically if elected, be
cause they want to catch votes from both
parties. It is more than probable that
the political control of the next House
will depend upon the results in these
districts which are rendered doubtful by
party quarrels.’'
The New York Hews gives the follow
ing reasons for thinking lhat Hancock
will be elected President: “We do not
bear of one man who voted for Tilden
that will not vote for Hancock. Yi e
hear of thousands who did not vote for
Tilden that will vote for Hancock. And
Tilden was fairly elected. It does not re
quire much of an arithmetician to come
io a conclusion as to the result”
Universal Suffrage vs. Property
Qualification.
There is an old saying in Persia in
common use by those who are not speak
ers, to indicate the friend they desire to
respond or speak for them. In its com
prehensiveness and terseness, it implies
confidence and compliment, substituting
delicately the friend for oneself. The
expression is, “My tongue is in the
mouth of my friend. ” Gen. Grant, we
all know,is a man of action,not of words.
Has not the “gift of the gab” to roar
“as lion in the forum, or as nightingale
in cupid's bower,” and so he keeps a
friend to do it for him. “His tongue is
in the mouth” of the gentle Conkling,
who, like Bottom, can please the Duke
and charm the Duchess. Whatever then
Mr. Conkling says we may accept as the
voice of Grant. We do no injustice,
therefore, to General Grant when we
claim that he advocates a property quali
ficalion as the basis for suffrage, in
diametrical opposition to the Demo
cratic principle of universal suffrage.
Citizens of the United States, especially
those of the Republican party not hold
ing public office, mark this declaration
of Mr. C mkling, that General Grant
and his friends favor the creation of a
monkd aristocracy (the first step to a
throne; by introducing into our political
organization (if they can) u property
qualification to convey the privilege of
becoming a voter on the political ques
tions that may agitate the country!
Democracy declares that suffrage is
the right of every decent,respectable man,
of intelligence to understand the politics
of the country. But the Radical party,
under General Grant, declare that suffrage
is not a right of intelligent citizenship,
but a privilege to be bought. Judas
Iscariot aimed to destroy Christianity by
the betrayal of its founder; and these
men would obliterate Democratic Re
publicanism by denying the Declaration
of Indepencencc. We are not putting
the matter too strongly before the public,
calculating the effects that must follow
from such a course.
The evils of property qualification in
England were felt so strongly by the
colonists, that, at the close of the revo
lutionary struggle, universal suffrage
had become the received principle of the
States generally. A few retained the
property qualification, as does, we be
lieve, the State of Rhode Island still; but
tbe almost universal sentiment of the
country is for universal suffrage, and
once received and exercised, by what
other process can il be wrested from tbe
people than by the bayonet? Force, and
force only, can do it; and force once ap
plied successfully, what will become of
tbe liberties of the people?
Why the howl against universal suf
frage, we cannot perceive. Men with
property qualifications are in the market
seeking tbe highest bidder for their vote,
as well as the universal suffragist, as
England has proved for many years past,
and more particularly at the present, as
their newspapers and reliable witnesses
tell us. In fact, so shameless
ly do the men of property
qualifications in Eugland sell
their votes that wo are informed by i
London paper, that in the recent Parlia
meotaxy election the traders were ii
recognized groups, openly trafficking
with the candidates. And thus it will
ever be, however high the qualification
required, because it i3 human nature.
There were but twelve Apostles, and yet
one of them turned traitor; and so it
will be if there should be but twelve
voters iu the United States, one of them
would be found ready “to give away”
his associates for a price. More
over, the greater number of the
voters, the more difficult to make suc
cessful trading plans, as there arc so
many purchases to be made individually,
one by one. Indeed we have no doubt
that if history be searched on this ques
tion of suffrage, the Dalabce would be
struck in favor of universal suffrage as
the true safeguard of liberty. But am
bitious men love power and place. The
higher the place the more eagerly it is
sought for, and the best road to it is by
reducing the voice of the people to the
smallest compass possible. First secure
an oligarchy of wealth, and then—the
imperial purple and a sceptre.
Have we not known this game played
twice in this century in France, and
shall we not profit by the example? We
Claim for our country the greatest
general intelligence and acquaintance
with current events, but our human
nature is the same as that of the Euro
peans, varied only by the characteristics
impressed by our surroundings, and we
are as liable as they to be controlled and
carried away by our passions. The
right of universal suffrage, however, is
one of our life rafts, to which wc must
cling for the salvation of our Democratic
republic.
Hancock Republicans.
In New York city there is a Hancock
and English club composed exclusively
of those who have heretofore voted the
Republican ticket. The club already
numbers 974 members and the roll is
steadily increasing. They had a rousing
meeting Friday night, which was ad
dressed by Leonard W. Jerome and John
W. Forney.
Among the letters received by the
National Committee was one from Har
man Yerkes. of DoylestowD, Pennsyl
vania, who writes:
“One hundred and fifty Republicans
in this county have openly announced
their intention to vote for General Han
cock. I have their names. Th s is an
average of four at each polling place.
The same ratio throughout th* State
would make a chrfhge of over 15.000.”
H. Boyer, Secretary of the Hancock
Club at Kendall Creek, McKean county,
Pennsylvania, writes:
‘There is not a single Democrat here
who will vote for Garfield. On the
other hand, the Republicans are not
united. Colonel D. Gardiner, heretofore
staunch Republican, is a zealous
worker for Hancock. Captain H. T.
Bruce, heretofore an extreme Republi
can, will support Hancock.”
A Newport dispatch says that Gen.
Sisson, a Republican, formerly Lieuten
ant Governor of Rhode Inland, has de
clared for Hancock and English.
A telegram from Indianapolis says that
the Sentinel will publish letters in
favor of Hancock and English from
George B. Yeagley, the nomiuee of the
Greenback party for Secretary of State
of Indiana, and Noah W. Parker, a can
didate of the same party for the State
Senate in the Indianapolis district. Mr.
Harrington, the Greenback candidate
for Governor in 1876, is also out for
Hancock and English.
It begins to look as if the Republicans
and Greenbackers are determined to pre
vent the Democrats from electing Gen.
Hancock by electing him themselves.
Well, they might do a worse thing.
An Aztec villa, in a remarkable state
of preservation, a sort of Mexican Pom
peii, is said to have been discovered by
M. Desire Charnay.the head of Lorillard’a
exploring party, in the neighborhood of
Tula. This town is on the site of Tollan,
the capital of the Toltec empire, and the
ruins are said to be more completely
Asiatic in character than sny other
American remains which are ki.own.
Another Deserter from the Radical
Camp.
Iliram Barney, ex Collector of New
York under Lincoln, and hitherto
strong Republican, has startled the Re
publican managers by declaring that he
will “support Hancock.” Mr. Barney,
upon leaving the sinking Republican
ship, says:
“I do not believe that the South con
templates another rebellion. I believe
that the Republican party has accom
plished its purpose, and is now existing
only because of its office-holders. The
result in Maine shows lhat the people
are aroused to the dangerous attitude of
their servants. That result will carry
every doubtful State for the Democracy.
The South to day is as loyal as the North,
and the stories of the payment of the
rebel claims and another rebellion are all
bosh—the last wsil of the Radical
lea iers. The Tribune has disgraced the
memory of Horace Greeley by printing
a disloyal sentiment attribu ed to Senator
Hampton after he has repudiated it
Of the confidential advisers and friends of
Abraham Lincoln none were closer and
more beloved by him than Lyman Trum
bull, John M. Palmer and David Davis.
Senator Davis has pronounced for Gen.
Hancock: Lyman M. Trumbull is the
Democratic candidate for Governor of
Ulinois, and John M. Palmer is warmly
supporting him and Gen. Hancock. Ben
Butler, Gov. Curtin, Col. Forney, Gen.
Pearson and many more of the bright
lights of the Republican party are sup
porting Hancock. Again, the principles
of finance which the Republican party
lays claim to are, in the first place, old
Democratic doctrines. In 1875 Congress
passed a law compelling resumption
January, 1879, or before that date. Re
sumption came in 1879, and six months
after that it was apparent to
all financial men that it might
have come in 1877 with a saving
of $50,000,000 in interest. I think Mr.
Tilden’s Secretary of the Treasury would
have resumed in 1877. Mr. Tilden said
to me that he intended to fund the
national debt at four per cent, or pos
sibly at three and a half per cent. I
know General Hancock personally. Gen
eral Grant introduced me to him on the
field at Petersburg. His administration
will probably l>e ‘he most notable since
the time of Jackson. He is just the sort
of man to keep the best elements of the
p llty in the front. It is absurd for the
liepublicans to say that business will be
injured by a change. There will be gen
eral rejoicing at Hancock’s election. ”
Mr. Barney is one of those men who
do not think it very heroic to go down
to the bottom in a piratical craft, as a
good many unrepentant Republican
pirates say they mean to do. The rea
sons given by 31 r. Barney for his move
meat arc eminently sound and worthy of
Republican consideration.
The Political Situation.
The letter of Gen. Hancock, on the
subject of war claims, has, according to
the Washington Star, created a decided
impression, indeed, somewhat of a sen
sation in that city. It is conceded, says
the Star, by Republicans disposed to
treat matters dispassionately that the
declaration made are emphatic and hon
cst, and will have the tendency to de
prive the Republicans of one of their
most effective campaign guns. Said a
Democrat today: “Hancock’s letter will
silence, forever, the cry of ‘rebel claims.
The letter is sententious, and has in it
key notes which will be caught up and
prove effective in the campaign.”
Iu all circles of public and private
business channels the letter has been the
topic of discussion. Democrats applaud
it, and Republicans are now yielding to
the conclusion that it is better to let Han
cock alone, especially so as to not make
it necessary to draw from him any more
letters. The only class who have criti
cisms to make upon the letter are claim
agents and claimants themselves. The
political week closes with considerable
of a Hancock boom, but the Republicans
may perhaps have their turn next week.
The great demonstration in New York,
the almost universal concession that the
Fusionists have carried Maine, and the
collapse of the “rebel claims” cry in the
Hancock letter, all combine to make the
Democrats feel exceedingly exuberant
just now.
Labor strikes seem to be alarmingly
on the increase in Great Britain and the
United States. In the Birmingham dis
trict in England twenty thousaud nailors
have struck for higher wages. A hun
dred thousand operatives in the Lanca
shire cotton mills contemplate acting in
like manner, unless their employers ad
here to the promise which they made to
them a year since. Then a reduction of
10 per cent, was made in their pay, . ith
the condition that if business re rived
wages would be raised to the former
standard. The time ha3 come for the
fulfillment of that agreemept, and as yet
the employers have not kept their word.
In the mining districts similar outbreaks
and discontents prevail. Operatives and
laborers in Great Britain think they are
treated unfairly by their employers,
whom they accuse of taking advantage
of their necessities.
Taxation in England —There are
some peculiar features connected with
taxation in England. If anybody leaves
you $500 you have to pay $10, and if be
dies without a will it costs you $15 to
get this $500. The government fee on a
$50,000 legacy is $1,000, and $1,500 if
there is no will. If the legacy be
$1,000,000 then the fee is $77,500, and if
there is no will $100,000 goes to the
Queen. It costs a young man $250, or
as much as he can earn the first year, to
become a banister. A mere notary pays
$150 for tbe office, and a physician has
to pay $50 upon graduating. You pay
$50 for & license to have arms and crest
placed on your carriage. Your dog costs
$1 25 a year, your gun $2 50, and for
every male servant you pay $4 per an
num.
The Augusta News, a leading organ of
[the Norwood Independents, is becoming
disgusted with the peculiar tactics of the
leaders of its party. It says:
■A few more egregious political blund
ere like that made last week by the Hon.
|Ben. C. Yancey, and the Norwood men
will have their pains for all their trouble
and devotion. That it has furnished a
powerful weapon in the bands of the
Colquittites cannot be doubted. What
led C 1. Yancey, in his exalted position,
to make such a blunder, just at this
time, is a question on the lips of every
Norwood man in the State. It is inex
plicable and a serious blow to the man
and cause he was attempting to assist.
A great many good men in Georgia
are decidedly of tbe News' opinion, as it
[will find on Wednesday next.
‘No fraud this time,” demands
Charles Francis Adams 1 There will be
none A naturalizition of the Florida
plan of 1876 was evidently contemplated
in Maine recently, but public sentiment
showed such plain symptoms of revolt
that it was hastily abandoned. The Re
publican managers, if they were united,
would undoubtedly attempt some scheme
of fraud in the Presidential count, but,
fortunately for the peace of the country,
they are divided, and the Grant division
will not allow their proposed campaign
of 1884 to be handicapped with another
great fraud. Besides, the Democratic
party is determined that there shall be a
fair election and an honest count.
It has been discovered that an exten
sive business is carried on with the Uni

Canada, brought to the United States

violation of law, United States Collec

Special Correspondence of the Mormntg Acres.
Jacksonville. September 27.—Our city t»ii
all possible respect to the remains of General
Torbert upon their arrival here a few days
since from St. Augustine. They were met by
a detachment from tbe Light Artillery Com
pany, and preceded by a band playing solemn
dirges, removed to the armory, where they
were placed for the night under a guard of
honor. The pall bearers were taken from our
most distinguished citizens, and the hearse was
followed by a large number of our best people.
The armory was very handsomely arranged
with flags and flowers, showing tne taste and
sympathy of the fair ladies, who superintend
ed the decorations. It is pleasant !o note here
that several of these ladies were the wires and
daughters of former “rebels, - ' and that among
the pall bearers and those who walked in the
procession were many who once wore “the
gray,” and who had perhaps faced the dead
officer on the field of battle. It wa* plea-ant to
see that the grim presence of death could soft
en old asperities, and bring together on the
same mission those who were once enemies.
Great preparations hare b-en mad® both in
New York and Philadelphia tj honor the re
mains of General Torbert, who seems to have
enjoyed the estt-ein and confidence of a large
circle of friends and admirers. Ilis was a cruel
rate. After struggling bravely for his life,
amid a raging sea for twenty-four hours, he
reached tne shore, only to be beaten to death
by the anrry breakers
Mr. J. W. Moat, of Watertown, N. Y., who
has taken the contract tor building the railroad
between this city and Fernandlna, has arrived
He has had much experience in this sort of
work, and will push his present job with all
possible expedition. If suitable an l reliable
tabor can be obtained here he will give it the
preference. Otherwise he will employ a force
of Italians now engaged on some Northern
road.
Tne trouble with the negro labor is that at
the expiration of every month, when they are
paid off. there comes over them an uncontroll
able desire to hare a good time and to get rid
of tb**ir m mey. There are but few who stick
steadily to the spade and the barrow. For
each month of work they consider it absolutely
necessary to have a week’s frolic.’and this
propensity renders Cnffee's labor a ve*y uncer
tain and doubtful factor in any calculation.
With fifteen or twenty dollars in his picker,
Ouffee is a capitalist, and sees no further in
centive to exertion
It is to be hoped that the Italians will be em
ployed. This climate is very similar to theirs,
and ou the expiration cf their contract many
of them might be induced to settle in Florida,
and each one of such would be more valuable
than a dozen Ethiopians of the average stripe.
One of the sub contractors on the Way cross
connection has recently left for North Caroli
na. for the purpose of engaging the services of
several hundred negroes. This road skirts the
edge of that vast unknown region, lying be
tween Florida and Georgia, known as the (>ke
fen<-kee; swamp, a tract of country of which
little more is know n than of tbe Ererglades.
Its dark and gloomy recesses are said to
furnish a paradise to the devotees of the gun
and rod, *nd will add a new fl*ld for explora
tion to our winter visitors. They can find big
gam- there and In abundance. Deer, beers,
panth-rs. wild cats, turkeys, etc., roam the
grand forests undisturbed, and wild hogs and
cattle are numerous.
Any enterprising Boniface, who will erect a
comfortable house in the vicinity, keep a good
stable and jack of dogs, and engage kome ex
pert guides, will confer a favor on the hunting
fraternity, and line his own pockets.
Some forty of Parson Hicks' neighbors, of
ail shades of opinion, have rtcently issued a
c*rd, in which they utterly deny the lufamou*
lies nut in circulation by that worthy during
the fate Maine campaign. They say, after
quoting the article from the Kennebec Daily
Journal of August 31th. in which he averred
that seventy of his friends and neighbors had
been murdered in cold blood on account of
tfceir politic J principle-*:
“Now. we, the citizens of Florida, residing in
the immediate vicinity of Mr. W. W. Hicks’
h^rae, feel ourselves called upon to brand the
above often repeated statements of Mr. Hicks
as utterly and positively false, without the
slightest shadow of a foundation in fact. We
know of no murder in the vicinity occurring
on account of political opiniot s. Indeed, we
know that not a case of the kind ha* occurred
in this part of the State. And we are proud to
say that the citizens of St. John's and Clay
counties are quite »s civil as any community
that Hicks has harangued in the Eastern States
since he left Florida. We do not know of any
ser ous disturbance of the peace occurring ex
cept among the colored population, under the
influence of inflammatory speeches of such
men as Hicks.
“The citizens in the immediate neighborhood
of Hicks’ residence (which he has named ‘Ar
cadia,’ a place of fabulous serenity and happi
ness) aie Chratians of the highest type,
among whom may be mentioned the Rev. Mr.
Moore, of the M. E. Church South, and in our
county may be found Methodists, Presbyte
rians. Baptists, Episcopalians and Catholics,
orig nally from the Eastern and Western and
Sou th western £ tales. The on ly disorderly and
ignorant class of people we havo here is the
negroes, with whom Hicks mostly associated.”
It Is impossible to reach such an offense as
that of which Ilicks has been guilty by legal
remedies. There is a method, however, by
which he can be taught that he has aroused
the indignation of a people whom lie has in
jured and vilely calumniated, and that is by
C lacing him under the ban of social ostracism.
et no man who has any respect for himself or
love for truth and decency, ever again recog
nize this contemptible fellow. Let him be
driven out of the society of all respectable per
sons, and made to feel that his presence is of
fenrive and his crime one for which there is
neither excuse nor palliation. Such a pun
ishment is severe, but just and merited.
Already seventeen candidates have been an
nouoced for the different offices in this county
under the resolution to that effect, adopted at
the State Democratic Convention. None but
acknowledged Democrats or such persons as
vitethe State and Congressional tickets will
be permitted to vote for these official-*. The
coutest is of a friendly character, and has thus
far attracted no great attention, th»*e mi
nor Interests to a great extent being over
shadowed by those of greater importance.
One great advantage to result from this ri
valry, will be an increase in the vote, as each
aspirant has his own circle of friends whom he
will urge to the polls.
A military company, to be known as the
Jacksonville Light Infantry, has been recently
o gunized under very favorable auspices.
Many of our most promising young men are
members, and they nave taken h- Id of the tac

promise of future efficiency.
At last all of the returns are in from the dif
ferent counties, and the population is given of
the entire State at 271,764. as against 18',74S in
1870. It was hoped that it would have reached
300,(00 The census taken in 1870 was notorious
ly incorrect, being only guessed at in several
counties, and would scarcely serve an a basis
for a proper calculation. As it stands, howev
er, it shows that there has been an increase of
forty-five per cent., which is a very sati-facto
ry snowing. Leon heads the list of counties
with 20,325. followed by Alachua with I®,597,
I>uva* coming in third with 17,762 T**n coun
ties range b-rtween ten and twe :tv thousand,
but one exceeding that number. Dade hrings
up the rear with ’.1*5 inhabitin'.s, but it should
be said to her credit that she has mure than
doubled within the last decade.
The whites exceed the Degrees nearly six
teen thousand, end the disparity will continue
to Ik* greater, year by year, between the races.
This fact wili be somewhat of a surprise to the
blanks, who have l»een in the habit of thinking
that they were considerably in the majority,
and is doubtless a disappointment to their
white leader*.
If a full vote is polled in this State in Novem
ber, on the usually admitted proporilon of one
vote to five of the population. Florida wi»l roll
up a vote of 53,U)J. i he white v. te will ex
ceed that of the negroes 3,200. These are facts
upon which to base estimates of the result at
the approaching election so far as Florida is
concerned.
Some of the orange growers up the river
have been acting very inconsiderately and di
rectly against their own interests, yuite a
quantity of the fruit, blown from the trees
during the late cyclone has been gathered,
boxed and shipped to Northern markets. Of
course it was immature, crude and flavorless,
and far inferior to that plucked two months
later. It would have been far better for the
growers to have permitted these wind-falls to
rot where they loll, than to have sent such
worthless fruit to dealers. They should aim to
keep the charac- er of the Florida orange up to
its present high standard of ex elienee.
•rfm contractors to whom has been awarded
the work of improving tbe St. John's bar are
casting about for the materials. Th-y »re anx

if possible. The jetty system is to be adopted,
and the work w II probably be s iffleiently ex

of the changes which, it is hoped, will be ef
fected -
Quite a strong card, played by the Radical
orators, has been recently trumped by the
Democratic speakers. It has teen constantly
asserted by the former party that the Demo
crats were hostile to tree schools. They at
tempted to show the poorer whites and negroes
that the Democrats, if successful, would
abolish or greatly curtail the present system
of public instruction. Now the facts are these:
When Stearns, the last Republican Governor,
went out of office, there were seven hundred
public schools in Florida. Parson Hicks made
quite a parade of this, and claimed from it
great merit for his party.
Now that number rose during the first year
of Governor Drew’s administration to 8t?7, in
the second to 992, in the third to 1,001, and 1,100
are provided for in the fourth. Facts are mighty
tough things, and these are taken fro n the
official records. Besides this, large amounts
of school indebtedness, left as a legacy by the
corrupt Republican officials upon many of the
counties, have been settled, this county alone,
having paid a debt of this character amount
ing to eight thousand dollars. Thus has been
spiked one of their heaviest pieces of artillery.
In a recent “explanation”from Colonel Bis-
bee to the £>n» and Press, he winds up his ar
ticle as follows: “Let us have peace and an
honorable contest of political warfare." What:
has it come to this, that the truculent and
haughty Colonel, who boasted so bravely some
time since that he designed to wage an ag
gressive campaign, is now hoistingthe wi-ite
flag of surrender? II6| was the first to engage
io attacks on personal records, and having got
more than he bargained for. or expected, he
throws up the sponge and cries, "peccaxri." He
has proven himself a common dung-hill
chickeD, to put up his hack-feathers and run at
the first thrust of the gaffs.
Weil, it isn't much to be wondered at. When
he comes to Duval, and browses over his own
stamping grounds, he finds lowering looks and
averted faces among those once his most ar
dent supporters. When he goes up to Alachua,
that little freebooter. Dennis, couches his
lon.e an-i belabors him most soundly. His
omens are all unpr-opidou*. and he doesn't
meet with an atom of sympathy from his own
ja ty for the verbal castigations he has recent-
y received. “Northward the star of Bis bee
lakes its way.” and he and the unplumed
knight. Blaine, can condole together up in
Ariatoolc over blighted hopes and blasted ex
pectations.
Captain Dyke's array of statistics, delivered
before the Hancock and Bloxham Club of Tal
lahassee, has been published as a campaign
document, and largely distributed. Since Its
appearance the Republicans have very
and prudently evaded the question of fii

and confined themselves to minor Issues. They

GEN. BURROWS’ RETREAT.
A Graphic Description of the Suffer
ings of the British Troops after
their Defeat by Ayoob Khan.
A correspondent of the London Morn
ing Advertiser gives the following de
scription of the retreat of tbe remnant of
Gen. Burrrows’ brigade, after the disas
ter at KuslIh-i-Nakhud:
“Not until two hours after we had
started from our retrenchments did we
commence to realize the helpless nature
of our condition. We had been under
arms since daylight, about 4 a. m., and
it was now G p. m. We had been
marching and fighliDg against an over
whelming enemy since 9 a. m , and had
been thoroughly beaten, leaving about
one-half *;f our force killed upon the
field, with two of our guns lost
and the colors of the Sixt^- sixth and
Bombay Grenadiers taken. N early all our
ammunition was captured—in fact, all
that was saved was what the men were
enabled to carry with them from tbe
field. We had been savagely attacked
on leaving our retrenchments, and bow
we escaped annihilation is yet a mys
tery. Iu two hours we had only accom
plished about six miles of our wretched
journey, as we bad to face about and dc-
fend ourselves at every bend or turn of
the r<»ad, and it was impossible not to
see and foretell in the horrors that we
saw around us the fate that might yet be
in 6tt>re for ourselves. In the front,
most of their horses bleeding and wound
ed, rode Colonel Mainwaring, command
ing the advance guard, and Colonel Grif
filh, while re the centre was General
Burrows, doing all he could to cheer and
to keep up the courage|of the men. With
him were Lieutenant Lynch, wounded:
Captain Grant Jwounded; Major Yench,
and Drs. Burrows aud Eaton,
while Colonel St John overtook
us later on. With the rear guard, if
such it could be called, were Briga
dier Nuttall and the remnants of
his cavalry. Lieutenant Whittuck, Lieu
tenant Geogbegan and Major Rivers.
Finding it impossible to turn back the
confused mass of fugitives from the road
they had chosen. General Burrows de
cided that it was belter to stay with them
than to divide the force, although he
knew that the want of water would add
terribly to their pitiable position on tbe
march. A3 we moved silently and sadly
along, the road soon became strewn with
dying wretche3, worn out by fatigue and
devoured by a burning thirst that added
frenzy to their sufferings. Strong men
and weak lads alike abandoned them
selves to despair, and lay themselves
down rather than attempt a further
struggle with a ruthless foe. Had we
known more of the locality it would
have been better to have kept more
to our right, and in a few miles
we should have struck across
tile Argandab river, where wc could,
perhaps, have crossed and obtained
refuge from the enemy and water for our
people and cattle. But it was fated
otherwise, and wc were obliged to fol
low the stream. Meanwhile wc longed
for the safety and the darkness of the
night, but when it came it was one of
suffering and horror. Order and method
became less and less ss we advanced
through the gloom. Corps aud regi
ments were mixed up anyhow and any
where. Soldiers and camp followers
were huddled together, when, for a few
uneasy momenta, we halted in one inex
tricable mass of moaning and agonized
humanity. Horses, mostly wounded or
lame, with their tongues fevered and
blistering with thirst, camels, baggage
ponies and mules were mixed up con
fusedly together. Nothing could be
done to restore order or arrangement,
and the wounded and weary wretches,
man and brute, lay down to sleep, never,
in most cases, to rise again. After
two very brief halts during the
nieht, on both of which we were over
taken and attacked by the Afghan horse,
we reached IIoaz-i-Madadd Khan, a dis
tance little short of sixteeu miles from
our fatal battle ground at Khusbk-i Nak
hud. As wc marched, or rather dragged
through the villages of this district, the
enemy, taking advantage of the dawn
just breaking again, pressed down upon
our rear and flanks, and here Nuttall de
livered a splendid charge with the few
sabres be had left. Hearing the sound
of hoofs along the road in our rear, he
took advantage of some friendly vine
yards skirtiDg the path, and posted fifty
of his best men on the least tired horses,
in ambush, to fall upon our pursuers.
The plot answered capitally, for as the
Afghans sighted our last retreating
tile and a lagging camel or two laden
with baggage, they quickened their
Pace to a gallop and came at us.
To their utter astonishment our
files opened and let them pass, and then,
as the lest horseman went through we
drew up, front rank kneeling across the
road, which was bounded on either side
by high rocks, impassable for cavalry,
and. having fixed bayonets, gave them a
vollev. As they attempted to get away
by the flank toward the vineyards they
were suddenly charged by Nuttall and
his fifty horsemen, and cut down almost
to a man. But this was only a tempo
rary success, as five miles further on,
where we debouched into a plain, the
enemy again overtook us in the open, and
pressed hardly upon our rear, seizing
most of our baggage and cutting up the
wretched camp followers, who were too
overcome with fatigue and thirst to fly.
Our soldiers, however, even now weary
almost unto death—feeble, wounded,
famished, and almost driven mad with
thirst—still made a gallant stand against
the fierce charge of the Afghan horse
men. Still the pursuit continued, and as
our people became more enfeebled and
despondent the confusion around far ex
ceeded that of the previous night—men
horses, camels, ponies, without shelter
from the guns and tulwars of the enemy,
without water, without food, without
ammunition. The road over which we
passed was covered with plundered and
torn baggage, with dead cattle, and with
stiffened corpses. My spirit of discipline
was indeed shocked to see our men were
becoming more like wild beasts than
human beings. Worn out my
self with fatigue, covered with
blood. and suffering severe
pain from my wound received early in
the day, I should have fallen from my
horse had not the wounded man I was
carrying en croupe caught me in his arms.
Ten miles from Mandahar the General,
with two of his staff, rode on to report
the disaster to General Primrose, and
from the time he started we suffered no
further molestation from our pursuers,
who probably thought that a force
might be sent from Candahur to help us
on our way.”
New Furniture, for—Wno?—Mrs.
Hayes recently ordered in Cincinnati a
new sideboard and dinner table for the
state dining room at the White House.
The pieces are to be of mahogany,
massive and elegant in design, as they
should be lor their place. They are to
be designed and executed by the Messrs.
Fry. who rank with the best, if not as
the best wood carvers in the United
States. The extension table in process
of construction is five feet broad and
twenty feet long. The legs are the
bodies of eagles sufficiently conven
tionalized to afford a firm support to tbe
massive leaves above. The companion
piece is also to be built on a princely
6cale. The national arms, engraved in
ebony, are inlaid at interval? on tbe top,
and the national bird figures on the
central panel beneath. The support or
feet of the sideboard are also the claws
of the bird of freedom embracing a ball;
this last feature intended to be en suite
with other pieces of furniture at the
White House. Upon the panels are re
presented the oak and the laurel, strug
gle and victory, and other plants,mostly
the natural growth of the State of Ohio.

The C.ksarlan Operation Per
formed Upon a Dwarf.—Dr. E. H.
Bell, of Philadelphia, on Wednesday,
performed the Caesarian operation upon
a Mrs. Burnell, a dwarf, well known in
the show business, delivering her of a
male child weighing some six pounds.
Mrs. Burnell came here in great distress
some time ago, and on account of her
deformity it was found that she could
not be delivered of the child unless the
Cesarian operation was resorted to. At
a late hour Wednesday night both the
mother and child were doing wejl, with
every prospect of both living.
The Modern Army.—Europe is an
armed if peaceful camp in these Septem
ber days, and in France, Germany and
Austria, to say nothing of lesser efforts
by the other powers, over 1,000,000 men
are sleeping under canvas and inarching
over the fields in the annual autumn ma
noeuvres, which the example of Germany
H«*s made a fundamental part of military
training abroad. France alone puts into
the field this month eighteen army corps,
any one of them nearly as large as oar
little army, and on the German frontier
are grouped two French cavalry divis
ions with a larger force than ever Sheri
dan commanded. In the infantry ma
noeuvres this autumn tbe French line
adopts completely the lessons learned
from the Germans, and abandons the
rigid formations which once made the
French infantry famous. In the new
tactics a regiment includes 2.400 men in
three battalions of four companies each,
and this great force—larger than the
fighting strength of a brigade in old days
—advances to the attack spreid like a
fan, with its first line of skirmishers a
mile in advance of the main body, which
stands ready for the confused rush in
which Sir Garnet Wolseley says in a re
cent article every modern battle must
end. A brigade is made up of two of
these great regiments, and the manage
meat of a corps, spread over the vast
space which the new tactics force it to
occupy, becomes a problem vastly more
difficult than the old advance of troops
in column.
A Blind Miner’s Fate in a Coal
Mine.—A telegram from Scranton, Pa.,
September 19, says: “Mine Inspector
Jones of this district has completed an
investigation into the cause of the death
of Felix Slavin, miner, and John
Dougherty, laborer, at Filer’s mines, in
Winton. a few days ago. Slavin was
totally blind and Dougherty was almost
a helpless cripple. They had been work
ing a chamber together for some time
past. Dougherty guided Slavin in the
work of mining the coal, and both then
loaded the care. On the day that they
were killed they had fired a shot and
were trying to pull down some loose
rock. The mass was sprung unexpect
edly and both were instantly killed.
Quite a stir has been caused among tbe
miners on account of the men being al
lowed to work in tbe mines, and the in
quiry may result in a charge being pre
ferred against the company. The bosses
say that the men were old and poor, and
that they importuned so strougly for em
ployment that it was decided to give
them a chamber in the mines when noth
ing else could be found.”
An overturned schooner, containing
human bodies, was encountered on the
19th insf. in mid ocean by pilot boat No.
9 which arrived in the lower bay of
New York on Tuesday night from a
cruise. Tbe vessel was bottom up when
discovered. A boat was lowered, and a
part of the crew of tbe pilot boat went
alongside the wrecked vessel, which
proved to be the Gladiator. A man was
discovered with a rope round his neck,
hanging from the bowsprit. The effluvia
from the sunken vessel was bo noisome
and overpowering that the conclusion
was come to that tbe crew of the vessel
were lying dead in her cabin. It is
thought that she is the British schooner
Gladiator, which sailed from Barbadoes
for Yarmouth, N. S., some time ago.
A Queer Coincidence at Delmoni
co’s.—There was a curiously dramatic
scene in Delmonico’s the other day. A
slight young fellow, with a red moustache,
sat in the cafe with a couple of friends.
An elderly man, with a gray moustache,
sat at a neighboring table and played
with a crutch as he watched the younger
man. The young man was James Bar
ton Key. The elder man was General
Daniel Sickles, who killed Philip Barton
Key one remarkable day in Washington
Fortunately, the vendetta is not an
American institution.—The Hour.
The Chicago Health Board has had its
chemist analyze eighteen samples of tea.
’Foreign leaves,” leaves, that is, other
thun tea leaves, were found in all but
two samples, six fell decidedly below
the average amount of nitrogen which
should be found in tea, and cm which its
strength depends, and more than one-
half showed that a part of the tea leaves
had been used before. No deleterious
substances were found, however, and the
analysis is altogether more favorable
thau the results of a like inquiry made
some year ago by the London Lancet.
After the execution of Menesclou in
Paris the other day for the murder of
tbe little girl, Louise Deu, his remains
were conveyed to the ana omical theatre,
and subjected to a singular experiment.
l)r. Sappey injected under the cutaneous
tissue of the head S3me fresh drawn
blood from the carotid of a living dog.
The result was startling, for the color
returned to the cheeks, there was a per
ceptible nervous tremor, while the lips
slightly moved. The same treatment
applied to the l>ody produced no effect.

How Happiness !• Secured.
Happiness is the absence of pain or an
noyance, and wherever there is pain there
Is disease. A pain in the lower portion of
the body Indicates a disorder of some kind.
If there is any odor or color deposit in the
urine It means disease and requires atten
tion at once. We have heard maDj of our
friends speak of the remarkable power of
Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, and
are convinced there is nothing so certain
and valuable for all disorders of the urinary
system, both male and female.

two package*, and found them worse than
nothing and did me do good. You will find en

I would be very glad. I suffer for the want of
just such a medicine as Dr. Simmons' Liver
Medicine was when it was made pure and made
by you. Send me a bottle and package right
from the honest hands, with your big red Z and
signature on the wrapper. 1 want it from the
manufacturers themselves, so I know it is pure.
The fictitious stuff soli will injure some one
