A correspondent from Centreville, Charlton
county, says that a negro, named Mose Dixon,
. ntered the house of Mr. M. A. Layton on the
night of the 1st inst., for the purpose of rob
bery. Fortunately Mr. J. S. Cavedo was spend
ing the nigbt there, an i his presence prevent-
• 1 Dixon from carrying out his plans. The
negro was arrested on the following day, and
was committed to jail to await trial at the next
term of the Charlton Superior Court. He also
says that Mr. A. S. Layton, of the firm of Bach-
iott & Layton, died oa the 2ith of September.
He was a worthy gentleman, and his death is
lamented by all who knew him. He was the
oldest member of CentrevIUage Lodge, F. A.
M He was also Postmaster at the village, and
Treasurer of the county. He further states
that the corn crop of Charlton is below an
average, but the cotton, sugar cane and swe*t
potato crofs are excellent; that there was an
unusually heavy rainfall in the county cn Fri
day last, and that Chariton will give Hancock,
English and Black handsome majorities in No
vember.

They will be warmly received and hear.ily
welcomed.

Brunswick last Saturday was exceedingly well
received. He made many friends and several
converts. Old Glynn will go solid for Black,

Isam Wright, colored, of Calhoun county, is
unfortunate with his wives. He has married
three, aad every one of thpin ran away from
him. His third left him on Friday morning
last, and eloped v ith a fiddler. He will have
to get another divorce, pick his flint, and try it
again. Perhaps the fourth may be more
faithful.
The MilledgeviUe Recorder says: “From the
examination of stalks of cotton brought to
this office last week, and of cotton growing on
our home place, as well as reports from farm
ers. we are satisfied that the crop in this
county is nearly all picked out Most of the
stalks we have examined are as dead and free
from cotton as they o.re in January.”
Deer are getting to be quite numerous in the

The Columbus Enquirer reports a horrible
tragedy which occurred in that city on Mon
day. as follows: "Last night about 9 o'clock
a messenger came in the city and reported
that a man had been killed at the Western
Railroad depot. An Enquirer-Sun reporter
went immediately to the scene of the accident,
and the most ghastly sight lhat lie ever beheld
met his view. A large crowd had assembled
near the depot. The reporter pushed his way
through, and there, on the track, lay the body
of Jerry Reed, a colored man, whose duty it
was to couple the cars, in the most horribly
mangled condition that we had ever seen a
human form. His clothes were torn from his
body, thus exposing the ghastly gashes
made by the unmerciful cars The back
of his head was cut almost half
from the front; his neck and back between the
shoulders had been skinned by the gravel
through which he was dragged; his left arm
was cut from his body near the shoul ier and
the sharp bones were protruding about an
inch or two. He was disemboweled and his
entrails lying out upon the ground. His left
leg was cut off between the knee and foot,
while his foot was a mangled miss of flesh.
Beside this, either of which was enough to
cost his life, he had received a number of
other cuts and bruises The causes which led
to the accident which proved so fatal are as
follows : Jerry has for some time been ein-
f iloyed at the ysrd of the Western depot, and
t was his duty to couple the cars in making up
a train or in removing the cars from the
track. Last night Engineer J. J. Brown was
removing the cars from the yard and
taking them to the Southwestern depot.
His engine was oa what is known as
the through track. Jerry had attempted to
couple the cars, but made a failure and sig
nalled the engineer to come back again. It
was on a place w here the track is down grade,
and both cars were in motion. The engineer
obeyed the signal anil begen to move back
again that Jerry might complete the coupling.
As Jerry ran between the cars to couple them,
he slipped into a little ditch and fell on the
track between the rails and under the car.
The brake beam struck him, and he was car
ried about forty feet, being dragged over the
cross-ties and across the side tracks It is
thought that his arms and feet were cut by the
whee s, or when he was carried across the side
tracks. He was seen to tlir w forward his
lamp, and as he did so the light was reflected
on him, and two persons on the warehouse
platform saw his body as he went under the
car.”
Augusta News: “The bi monthly meeting of
Georg.a Railroad Directors was held to day at
the banking ro -ins of the company, President
Cbas. H. Phinizy, Vice President E. P. Alex
ander, and all the board except Messrs. Hamil
ton and Thomas, were present. After the con
sideration of the Auditor’s statement and rou
tine business, the board elected Mr. J. H.
Alexander a Director of the road to flil the
vacancy caused by the death of Mr. J. W.
Davies." He was also complimented by a place
on the Finance Committee of the board. The
election of Mr. Alexander will be cordially and
universally indorsed. A brother of Gen. Alex
ander. and possessing the same fine qualities
and eminent ability, no better selection could
have been made had the State been searched
through. He is one of the leading citizens of
Augusta, and the stockholders, as well as Mr.
Alexander, are congratulated on his deserved
elevation.”
Albany Neics and Advertiser : “A bold and
dangerous attempt v.as made by four prison
ers in the Albany jail Saturday night to gain
their freedom. Mr. Sim Herrington, the jailer,
on returning to the jail after eleven o'clock,
detected quite a stirring around and hum of
voices in one of the ceils overhead containing
four negroes charged with burglary, and de
cided to go up and sc-e what was goi.-g on,
a oil found that an attempt was being made by
the four prisoners referred to to burn their
way out. They had, by means of a
match found upon the person of the
boy incarcerated for breaking into Mr.
H. Tison’s store, stt fire to the cell door
to burn out a hole big enough through w hich
to make their escape On hearing Mr. Herring
ton coming, wa'er was thrown on the fire and
the flames extinguished. Mr. H took in the
situation at a glance, and immediately placed
the two ringleaders in irons and moved the
other two to separate cells. It was a desperate
game these burglars were playing for freedom,
for had not Mr. Herrington made the discovery
as early as he did the - jail would have b'-en
probably destroyed, and the four prisoners in
this particular cell would have roasted alive."
TUESDAY'S ELECTIONS.
Col. (Jen. It. Klat'k in Bryan County.
Editor Morning News: According to appoint
ment, Hon. Geo. R. Flack, Democratic nomi
nee for Congress from the First Congressional
district, addressed the citizens of Bryan coun
ty at Ellarbee’s store, on Thursday, the 7ih
inst, W. W. Geiger was made Chairman, and
J. W. Moore Secretary.
Mr. Geiger, on taking the chair, said it was
unnecessary for him to state to the audience
the object of the meeting. Col. Black’s ap
pointments had been published, and every one
knew for what we were assembled. He re
gretted the meagre turnout, but was glad to
say that every one present could satisfactorily
account for it. The elect’on for Governor and
State officers having been held the day before,
many citizens had naturally gone to the county
site to learn the result, and others felt they
could not spare another day so soon after the
election for political purposes. Those present,
however, could enjoy Col. Black's address—in
which we all anticipated a rare treat-and
take it home with us, telling our neighbors and
friends the main points, and thus those absent
co• Id also profit by it.
C«>louel Black then arose and spoke to a very
appreciative audience for about an hour and
a half. Me first entertained his hearers by tell
ing them the respective positions of himself
and Rev. Mr. McDonald before the Democratic
voters of the district. He spoke of Mr. Mc
Donald in commendable terms, as an honor
able gentleman, and popular in his inmi-eiare
section of the district, and hav.ug held several
joint discussions with him during the last few
days, he read from his memorandum book the
arguments on which Mr. McDonald bases his
claims to the suffrages of the people, as fol
lows: “Because he was a candidate some
fifteen days before Colonel Black was nomi
nated; because he was the father ami grand
father of a large number of children: Le
cause he was an old farmer/’ etc. In this c> n
nection Colonel Black good humoredly related
several 1 »ughable anecdotes.
Having satisfactorily disposed of Mr. Me
Donald, the independent candidate, the Colonel
proceeded to notice the Republican nominee,
Mr. C Ilins of Brunswick, lie hail never met
this opponent yet, but was informe J he was a
very clever gentleman who wanted to goto
Congress. He had never heard anything
derogatory to his character, but thought he
belonged to a very corrupt political party.
The speaker here manifested feelings of intense
interest, and gave in a very lucid manner the
leading doctrines of the two great parties of
the nation; told how the Republicans had
abused their lease of power; how a Demo-
ora! ic Congress had reduced the expenses of
tlie general government, etc., and how impor
tant it was that we shonid elect a i.emo-
cratic House this fall: that while we confi
dently expected to elect Hancock and English,
a Rfcpnblictn House could materially interfere
with the re.'orms we expected Hancock to in
augurate.
All present listened with rapt attention dur
ing Colonel Black’s discourse, and at its con
clusion gave expression to their enthusiasm
by unai imous and vigorous demonstrations of
applause.
Judge J. T. Williams followed in a short,
sensible speech, exhorting all Democrats to
stand by the nominee, whom he believed to bo
& good enough candidate for anybody’s choice.
Whereupon Tie offered the following resolu
tion, which was adopted without a dissenting
voice :
Resolved, That we do earnestly recommend
the Rev. .Mr. McDonald to withdraw from the
race for (Jougress, as we believe his candidacy
at this time can only result in a possible elec
tion of a Republican, which be, os we'l as we,
would deplore.
After thanking Colonel Black for h : s able
and patriotic address, and ordering a copy of
the proceedings of the meeting to lie forwarded
to the Mo km no News and Hinesville Gazette
tor publication, the meeting adjourned.
W. W, Geiger, Chairman.
J. W. Moore, Secretary.
A few years ago the greatest steamer
did not exceed 350 feet in length, 45 feet
in breadth, 3,500 tons in tonnage, or
4.000 horse power. Now the City of
Berlin, of the Inman Line, is 488 feet by
444 feet, and their new steamer, the
City of Rome, building, of iron, at Bar-
row. will be still larger, having a length
of 546 feet, a breadth of 52 feet, and a
gross registered tonnage of 8,000. The
Cunard steel ship, the Servia, now build
ing at Glasgow, is 500 feet by 50 feet,
with over 10,000 indicated horse power,
and will doubtless possess a speed in
advance of the very fastest ship at pres

W. R. Halloway telegraphs:
“Indianapolis, October 13.—Porter’s ma

“[Signed] W. R. Hallo way.”
The following editorials are from late edi
tions of the morning papers:
The Ncn/ineZ (Dem.) says: “As late as 5
o’clock this morning there arc still over one
thousand votiDg precincts to hear from, in
two hundred and foity-five pre-
ciacts the reported net Republi
can gain is 1,814. The Republicans
are claiming the State by 5,000 majority,bu’.
returns do not show It, and we hope that
when the remaining precincts are heard
from that Landers' election will be secured
by’ a small majority.”
The Journal (Republican) says: “Returns
from the Indiana election come In very slow
ly. The ticket is very loDg, and mo6t of the
precincts In the cities large, so that the re
ports received at this hour are confined
mainly to the smaller county precincts.
Few if any of the cities will be heard
from before mornir.g. The returns received
indicate steady gains for Porter, which if
continued throughout the State at the same
ratio would elect him by about 3,000 majority.
We expect, however, to hear of Republican
gains in the large cities, especially the manu
facturing centres, where the tariff question
assumed proportions calculated to do so.
From the outlook at this hour, we do not
see that it is impossible.”
New York, October 13.—The followiug
dispatch was received to-day at the head

Indianapolis, October 13 —Mr. Landers,
the Democratic candidate for Governor,
concedes the election of Porter by at least
4,000 majority, and that the Legislature is
probably Republican. Four hundred and
eighty precincts show a Democratic
gain of 3,650 and a Bepublecan gain
of 7,573, being a net Republican gain
of S,915. Return6 from four hundred
and twenty VO tire precincts give
Democratic vote of 68,769, a Republican
vote of 74,347 and a National vote of 3,712-
The same places in 1876 gave the Democrat*
66,150, Republicans 68,04S, Nationals 3,507,
a net Republican gain on the vote of 1S76
of 3,648. The Republicans now claim the
Slate by 7,000 majority.
Carroll county complete gives a Demo

79.
Later returns from the FIr.-t Congres
sional district indicate a very close vote,
and both parties are claiming’ the election
of their candidate.
The result in the Seventh (Indianapolis)
district is still in doubt. There are not
enough returns from the Legislature to in
dicate any definite result. Both parties
claim a majority.

Columbus, Ohio, October 13.—Very little
interest has been manifested here to-day
over the election news, the interest center
ing almost entirely on the returns from In
diana. At Kepnbiican headquarters special
telegrams have been received from the
Chairmen of the committees in all but eight
counties of Ohio, showing the complete re
turns on the Secretary of State and Su
preme Judge. According to the returns
from these eighty counties on the vote for
Secretary of State the Republican gains
are 7,909, and the Democratic
gains 5.657. The net Republican
gain over Foster’s plurality of 17,129 last
year is 2,248. The net Republican gain on
the Supreme Judge is 4,448. The counties
yet to hear from are Brown, Lick
ing, Lucas, Ottawa, Perry, Picka
way, Ross and Sandusky. Partial returns
from Ross and Lucas show considerable Re
publican gains. The Republican Com
mittee conclude from the above
figures that. Townsend’s majority
for Secretary of State will be close to20,000,
and Mcllvaine’s plurality for Supreme
Judge wiil be near 22,000. No figures Lave
been received showing the majority given
for Congressmen, but enough Is known to
make the committee feel sure that, the Re
publicans have elected fifteen out of the
Congressmen.
At Democratic headqarters there are re
turns from seventy counties, and these the
Democratic Committee claim, show a uet
Democratic gain of 1,573 on the Secretary
of State over Foster’s vote. They say that
the same ratio will show a net gain on the
State of 2,002. This committee concedes
the election of fifteen Republican Congress
men. These figures are all that can be ob
tained to-nigbT.
“Indianapolis, October 13.—Hon. Mar

The following n&s just been rec--lved at
the Democratic National Headquarters here:
“Cleveland, O., October 13.—Returns
from Ohio are muddled. T^e Republicans
are making their calculations on the Su
preme Court Judge; we are making ours on
the Secretary of State. Thus far, the Demo
cratic gains for Secretary of State in this
section have been heavy over the vote
of 1S79, and it looks as if Long
is not yet beaten over 5,000 to 7,COO.
Hurd is beaten for Congress; so is Sliaf
far, whose vote runs largely behind bis
ticket. The vote in Ohio has been Increased
at least 4,000. Hancock is 10,000 votes
stronger than Long. The strong Demo
cratic counties have not yet been heard
from fully.”
Cincinnati, October 13—Unofficial re
turns from the whole of Hamilton county
give Townsend, Republican, Secretary of
State, 34,129; Lang, Democrat, 31,840;

WEST VIRGINIA.
Wheeling, West Virginia, October 13.
—Reports from West Virginia are coming
in slowly. Indications are that the Repub
licans have reduced the Democratic majori
ties inanumberof counties.but their majori
ty will not go much below 8,000, if any. The
Republicans depended upoD a much larger
Greenback vote being cast than was thrown.
It seems that this party, which claimed up
wards of 25,000 votes in the State, did not
poll over half of that number.

They largely went back to the two old

Kanawha county probably elects the

by the Democrats by a small majority.
Morgan county goes Republican by an
average of 130, about its usual majority.
Brooke county gives Jackson, Democrat,

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
Richmond,Va., October 23.—The State, an
evening paper, in an editorial commenting
on the result in Ohio, says: “It is neither a
suprise nor a disaster for us, because we
never bad the least hope of car
rying the State but Indiana, if it
has gone against us, as claimed,
by the late-t dispatches, we admit is a dis
appointment and a disaster. We confess
we did count upon carry ing Indiana, and do
yet, and as we have not in the past con-:
cealed our belief In its importance, neither
are we now, if it is a defeat, disposed to
treat lightly its effect upon the real issue in
November. Yet we by no means give up
the fight. Even with Indiana against
us the field may still be won
and grandly won by hard work and good
management. If Indiana be really lost,
then must Virginia put an immediate stop
to all this nonsense about running two tick-
etf ,and see that her 6olid vote is cast for the
regular Democratic electors. There is no
longer any margin for speculation in fu
tures, and the undivided vote of the South
is now more than ever a necessity.”
The Daily Dispatch says: “Results of the
election of Tuesday 6how that our miscalled
Northern brethren are not only bitter
writers, libellers aod slanderers of Southern
people, but are our enemies. They
would not ailow Southern people to go.
Like Pharob, they hardened their
hearts and forbade us to move a step, but,
unlike him, thev have not yet been over
whelmed in the Red Sea. Popular preju
dice and invincible ignorance still rule the
people by whose bayonets the States of the
Union were pinned together. They will
neither allow us to be their equals outside
of the Union, or within the Union. We
are still enemies. We offered In
1872 to elect the prince of Union
ists and Abolitionists President, and
his own section repudiated him. In^ 1876
we elected a distinguished New Yorker
President, and he was not permitted to
take his seat. In I8S0 we propose to elect
the most accomplished office* in the
Federal army to the high office, and the
people of the North band themselves to
gether as his and our deadly enemies.
“More iu sorrow thau in anger” do we
say these things. Deeply do we regret
it, that we of the South are to coutinue to
be aliens and strangers in the land of our
fathers. We confidently counted upon suc
cess In Indiana, and because of that
confidence in the result in Indiana,
entertained hopes of carrying Ohio, our
theory being that both States would go the
same way. The result, as we haye already
said, is evidence enough that the Northern
people look upon us of the South as ene
mies. They have solidified the North as an
offset to the solid South. Let us trust that
the wrongs of reconstruction day are not to
be repeated.”
Charleston, October 13 —The News and
Courier says : “Happily the Democracy is
not unused to reverses, and the defeat of
Tuesday will spur the party to redoubled
efforts during the next three weeks in every
State in the Union. In the new phase
which the Presidential struggle has
now assumed, we canBot afford to
take any risks. Haucock will be
likely to need every electoral
vote that the Southern States
can give him, but even if Ohio and Indiana
should vote in November as they have voted
in October, there are other Northern States
which may have as unpleasant a surprise in
store for the Republicans as Maine gave
them last month. Senator CoDk-
ling has told us only within
the last week that the result in Ohio and
Indiana, whatever it might be, would not
be decisive of the November co. te6t;that
New York remains the pivotal State, and
that the party that carries New York will
elect the President. We are seldom enough
in accord with the magnificent Senator, but
in this case we are willing to acctpl him as
a prophet.”

posal of M. Constants, Minister of the In
terior and of Worship, for the enforcement
of the decrees against unauthorized re
ligious communities.
London, October 13.—Regarding the re
port of dissensions in the French Cabinet,
tbe Paris correspondent of the Times says:
“M. Ferry, President of the Council and
Minister of Public Instruction, thinks
that it is a paltry thing to direct his efforts
to the dispensation of 13,000 unrecognized
monks and nuns, where there are 112,000
who cannot be disturbed, being already re
cognized. The Minister of the luterior and
of Worship, M. Constant, however, regards
the dispersion of these thirteen thousand as
an achievement which may dispense with
the necessity of another programme. Iu
view of this conflict of opinion, M. Ferry
has begged President Grevy to hasten his
return to Paris, when it is expected the
great battle between tbe two parties—one
representing M. Garabetta, President of the
Chamber of Deputies, and the other leaning
on President Grevy—will be decided.
GRANT ON POLITICAL ECONOMY.
The General a Guest of tiio Boston
Me<‘lianic*-*A Speecli on Foreign
Fields for American Industry—Hi"
Experience and Observations iu
Mexico.
By Telegraph to the Morning Neics.
Boston, October 13.—At a reception given
by the Mechanics Association of this city to
General Grant to-day, he made a speech of
considerable length upon general subjects
of foreign fields for American indu;try aud
trade. He referred particularly to Mexico
as a country which offered great
inducements to American enterpris
and gave the results of his
recent observations in that country and the
substance of his private conversations with
inaDy of its leading men. He said he told
the Mexican people that their fears of the
forcible annexation of a portion of their
territory by this country were groundless
now that slavery had ceased to exist in the
South, and that they had everything to gain
bv the cultivation of closer commercial rela
tions with us.
Gen. Grant expressed the opinion that
Mexico could produce nearly all of the two
hundred million dollars worth of tiopical
and semi-tropical products, which we im
port mostly from other sources, and would
take our manufactures in payment therefor,
thus greatly benefiting both countries.
A Ladies' Bank.
St. Louis Republican,
A very curious and interesting finan
cierin^ experiment is going-on in Boston.
Tbe “Ladies’ Deposit^Bank,” an institu
tion established to receive deposits from
women only, was opened in that city
several months ago, and carried on its
business for some lime before tbe public
attention w’as attracted to it. "When tbe
public attention was directed to it a sin
gular state of things was brought to
light. Mrs. Sarah E. Howe was found
to be President and Manager, and Miss
J. A.fGou’d agent; no other persons are
known to be connected with it. The
bank is a private institution without
charter,and having no organization under
the laws of the State; it is, therefore, not
subject to examination by the State Bank
Commissioner. It offers the most re
markable and attractive inducements to
depositors—8 per cent, a month or 96
per cent, a year, payable quarterly in
advance; that is, when a depositor de
posits $100 she receives $24 interest for
three months in advance, $24 more at
the end ot the first quarter, $24 at the
end of the second and $24 at the end of
the third—making $96 in all in nine
months as interest alone on the $100 de
posit. As the regular banks in Boston
find it hard to make 8 per cent, a year
clear, these enormous interest payments
on idle deposits—for it cannot
be ascertained that they are invested in
any legitimate business -caused profound
astonishment, and the Boston papers
have been looking into the matter. It
is found that the President was once a
sort of clairvoyant or healing medium,
and at one time was confined in prison
for some irregularities. Even down to
a short time before she opened her bank
she was unable to pay a small board bill,
but recently she bought and paid $50,000
for a residence which was assessed at
only $28,000. The bank deals only with
women, and as it offers $5 for every new
depositor brought in, it has a large
number of depositors, chiefly teach
ers, shop girls, seamstresses and
other industrious, thrifty women
who are m the habit of making
savings out of their earnings, and are at
tracted by the large interest paid by the
bank. f I he Boston financiers have !>een
trying to figure out the secret of the
bank’s system of business, and they
appear to have come to the conclJ
elusion that it is a bold swindle,
whose temporary success depends
on the undisturbed confidence of
the depositors. When a lady deposits
$100 she is paid $24 quarterly interest
thereon out of the deposit itself, leaving
$76 still in the bank. Other deposits are
treated in a similar manner, and so the
deposits in the bank accumulate for
three months, provided none are drawn
out. The bank earns nothing and pays
the interest to its depositors out of the
self same money they put into it. Of
course, when it shall have paid out 100
per cent, to depositors, its money will
be all gone, and the original deposits be
still due the depositors; but this point of
difficulty is to be avoided by inducing
the confiding depositors not to draw
out their money, but let it remain as
long as possible drawing 8 per cent in
terest a month. But some time or other
the depositors will want their money,
and when they demand it the game will
be up; the bank will suspend, and not a
cent be found in its vaults.
The Fogs of London.—The London
correspondent of the Manchester Exam
iner writes: “Londoners who are now
arriving home after their holidays will
be dismally reminded by the yellow fog
which has fpr several days hung over
the town of the horrors which will but
too soon efface the recollections of the
sunny skies of Italy and France, and
even Margate and Broadstairs. The fog
plague has come upon us unusually
early this year, and one cannot out feel
depreosed when he has to light the gas on
what ought to lie a bright September
morning, and recollects at the same time
that when fogs come so early it is almost
a sure sign that they will stay loDg.
There is no doubt that the Loudon fogs
are getting worse every year. Last win
ter the clouds scarcely lifted from Novem
ber till February, and now we are threat
ened with even a worse prospect. Surely
it is time that both science and art
turned their attention to the ameliora
tion of what may be fairlv described as
a pestilence. Much might be done if
the Legislature rigidly insisted on th«
home consumption of all the smoke
which hundreds of thousands of chim
neys belch forth from early morn till
late at night. Aud for the rest of the
evil it ought to be within the power of
science to devise a remedy. The fog
may never, by any possibility, become
so dense a3 to asphyxiate the whole
>opulation in one night, as Mr. S. D.
lay has lugubriously predicted, but that
it has a terrible effect cn the public
health the weekly bills, of mortality’ in
the winter abundantly prove, the in
crease in the death rate from fog being,
as a rule, not less than from eight to ten
per thousand, and frequently more.”
VINEM CL ARUM.
The sky is a drinking cop
That was overturned oi old.
And it pours in the eyes of men
Ita wine of airy gofd.
We drink that wine all day
Till the last drop is drained up,
And are lighted on to bed
By the jewels in the cup.
