The Atlanta Post-Appeal says that Friday
night the down passenger train of the Atlanta
acd Charlotte Air Line lifted a colored man
by the name of Ben Davis from the track near
Delton and threw him some distance to the
s i i- of the road. The train w«s halted and the
wounded man given to the agent at Belton to
take care of. It was ascertained that he had
received a broken arm and a number of severe
bruises. The negro was too badly injured to
talk much, and consequently the cause of his
being on the track was not known. It is said,
however, that he was sitting on the track in a
drunken stupor with a musket in his hand
when the pilot of the engine struck him. The
gun
vd not been found up to the hour that
the train left.

i he Eatonton Messenger thinks somebody is
losing a good chance for an investment by
n-glecting to purchase the old factory site on
Little river.in Putnam county. It says: “The
water power is as good as any in Middle Geor
gia, and, situated as it is in the cotton belt of
th- S ate, no better place for a factory could
be found. Before the war this factory was a
source of large income to Eatonton. Why not
raise a srock company and set the spindles go
ing again?”
A number of young ladies of Washington
have organized themselves into a cooking club.
Thtir practice is to give parties, at which each
lady furnishes some article of food of her own
cooking. The idea is an excellent one, and the
club will tend to make good domestic wives of
tlu* fair ladies of Wilkes.
A light occurred between two citizens of

During the late campaign one candidate fob
Legislative honors in Douglass county twitted

the remark: “Well, nevermind; if it will do
you any good I will give you a certificate to
the effect that you are not enough of a lawyer

J. H. ESTILL, PROPRIETOR.
SAVANNAH, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1880.
ESTABLISHED 1850.
The Elberton Aeics thus compliments a meri
torious officer, wlKee example his fellow
officials would do well to emulate: -'Mr. R. W.
Tavlor has been on duty as Deputy Collector of
Internal Revenue, with headquarters at Elber-
ton, for about twvlve months, and although he
is one of the most vigilant and watchful officers
so far as duty requires, he is at the same time
extremely' cautious in the performance of duty
not to exceed his authority. While he has
really done more for the service than all the
revenue officers who have ever been in the
county, he has never had any difficulty with
any party, so far as we have hear I, in enforc
ing the revenue laws. He seetns to command
the respect and confidence of those who are
most opposed to the system, by the firm, yet
gentlemanly way in which he cischarges the
duties of his office. If all the men in the
revenue service were of the same stamp as M-.
Taylor, the illicit distilleries would be few and
far between, and the people generally would
have much more respect for tbe law, for a law
may be ever so wholesome just and proper,
but if entrusted to bad men to enforce, who
are almost certain to abuse their authority, the
law will become unpopular itself.”
Columbus Enquirer: "We would suggest to
the owners of the Macon and Brunsw ick Rail
road that in their petition for new legis’ation
thev ask a charter to build a road from Haw k-
insville via Montezuma, Oglethorpe and Buena
Vi-ta. to Columbus This would give that road
a line into the heart of the cotton belt of South
west Georgia, besides opening up the timber
lands of Marlon and other counties. At Co
lumbus they would reach a market where
100,OOj bales of cotton are now received, tbe
biggest factory town in the South, besides be
ing an immense grocery market. We believe
that a large subscription cauld be secured
along the proposed line. The distance on an
air line to Haw kinsville is ninety miles. The
country for tne most part is level and
timber cheap. Allowing ten miles for
curves, and we have one hundred miles. From
Hawkinsville to Savannah by the Macon and
Brunswick and Atlantic and Gulf Railroads is
oue hundred and sixty-eight miles. This makes
two hundred and sixty-eight miles from Co
lumbus to Savannah over the proposed route,
while it is now by t*:e Central Railroad two
hundred and ninety two miles, thus showing a
saving of twrenty-four miles by thelfaw kius-
ville route, and a lin-! to Brunswick only two
hundred and fifty-eight miles long. We would
be gl *d to hear from the counties along the
line of the above suggested route. No railroad
can be built without a start, and we give this
proposition a send off.”
The Lexington Echo thus details a bloody
riot which recently occurred at a corn shuck
ing on Mr. Masdou Bray’s place in Ogletnorpe:
”On Monday night last a riot occurred in this
county’that for a time threatenei to 1>« a se
rious affair. It appears that late in the right all
hands got pre’ty well iullated, when the < on-
versa*ion turned upon wrestling. Mr. Bray,
with a view 10 bring out a champion wrestler
named John, on his place, said he could dirty
the back of any man on the ground. Willis
Howard, colored, threw open his arms and said
any man who thought he could throw him
might wade in. Mr. Bray then stepped aside
and got his nigger John and turned him loose
on Howard. At the first pass John meas
ured his length on the ground, being
hoiste<l about ten feet. Undismayed, he sailed
in again, and was this time thrown almost
senseless. The friends of Howard, both black
and white, then took him up aDd carried him
around in triumph. This enraged the friends
of the defeated gladiator, and in less than no
time an indiscriminate fight comm-nced, the
whites pairing off and taking sides with thrir
resp-ctive favorites. Fence rails, stones, knives
ana pistols were brought Into requisition, but,
happily, no shots were fire), or else there
would have been a bloodv battle. As it is.
three negroes—Willis Ho var.J, Rich Long and
Fred Williams-were cut, we learn, some of
the wounds being seriou-*. Others were bruised
and beat up. None of the whites, we believe,
were hurt. We report this unfonunate affair
just as it was given to us. If there are any cor
rections we will be g ad to make them.”

The Florida Radicals are zealously claiming in

of money under twenty dollars does not consti

would otherwise lose.

The Republican papers and leaders in Florida
are now frantica'ly accusing the Democrats
of an intention of carrying the State by fraud.
After the great Radical fraud of 1876, the
mouths of the Republicans should be forever
shut on that subject. The truth is, however,
says the Jacksonville Union, the Democrats
now neither intend to commit frauds them
selves nor allow the Repub-icans to doio.
The Sanford Journal states that Columbus
Ogltsbee, ft boy fifteen or sixteen years of age,
was crushed and killed instantly by a falling
tree, near Wilcox Station, on last Friday. A
man named Joshua Hightower was engaged in
clearing land there, and young Oglesbee, some
what under the infla-nee of liquor, was talk
ing to him. The trees were being burned
down, and Hightower had just warned the boy
that that particular tree would soon fall. He
went on with his work, and, hearing the tree
fall a moment afterward, looked around and
missed the boy. On searching, he found him
dead, with one arm and one leg broken, a gash
in his head, and the tree IjiDg across his
breast.

The Fernaudina Mirror announces the death
fn that city on Saturday lost of Mrs. Annie E.
MacDonell. an old lady 72 years of age. She
was the daughter of Col. George C. Nolan, of
Georgia, and moved to Florida in 1854. She

their laudable work.
Fernandina Mirror: “The October storm
has been a long and disagreeable one. Com
mencing on the night of the 7tli. it lasted about
five days. The railroad to Cedar Key was bad
ly washed out in several places, the worst be
ing at Lofton creek, nine miles from this city,
where the trestle was washed out. The contin
ued rain kept the waters so high that it was
impossible to replate the piling until Monday.
The trains commenced running through on
Tuesday, transferring at Lofton. The ground
was so thoroughly saturated with rain that it
has taken several days to drain it off. The tres
tle and embankment at Lofton were completed
Wednesday night, so that all regu’ar trains
have resumed.”
The Pensacola Gazette mentions a painful
accident, which occurred at the Tarragona
Theatre, in that ci»y,~ last Thursday night. It
says: "Mr. H. C. Cushman was about to renew
a tableau, ard pound the powder for produc-
iugthe colored light into a pan he was bolding,
not knowing that fire yet remained therein.
The powder exploded and terribly scorched
his face and head, enveloping him for the mo
ment in a sheet of flame. A little girl standing
near him was scorched, though not seriously.
Mr. C. took the matter so quietly that none of
the audience knew any accident had occurred.
Thanks to soothing applications, he is suffer
ing no pain this morning. His eyes, we are
happ to state, are uninjured.”
Fernandina Express: “A curious looking
specimen r f a cr&rt was recently built near Sir.
Huot's mill, in this city. The hull was of the
catamaran order, and on top was bni t
a ridiculous contrivance, something like
a chicken house. After she was launched
tbe architect proved to be both master
and pilot, and started out with the inten
tion of visiting Jacksonville and other points
of interest on the Kt.'John's, from whence he
proposes to go to his home in Connecticut. He
nad no meins of locomotion, save through the
medium of a pair of heavy, rough and "d-
ai-ldy oars. He launched forth at night, and
the next day at twelve o'clock he had gotten
one mile up the river, in statu quo. minus his
hen coop. Trie appearance of the contrivance,
when complete and floating, could be better
illustrated by imagining two Egyption croco
diles, tied about six feet apart, with a super
structure of warts growing from each and
joiuing between and about six feet above them.
Look out for him.”
Regarding the Fernandina and Jacksonville
Railroad, the Sun and Press says: “The
schooner L 5 zzie Titns is now discharg : ng iron

will soon be here with a cargo. All the fasten
ings, spikes, etc , are already on the ground,
and but one more cargo of rails is needed, and
thit will sliortlv be in Fernandina. An engine
will arrive at Fernandina from the Grant Lo

road will be from the celebrated Jack-
son A Sharp Company, of Wilmington, Dela
ware. and will he first class in every respect,
the furniture of the cars to be in the Eastlake
pattern. Both engine and passenger cars will
be fitted with the Westinghouse air b^ake. In

dock and warehouses The work of grading
tbe road, etc., has been goiug steadily on even
during the late wet period, as the labor has
be-*n employed upon the highest points along
the line.”
Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer-Sun: ‘-Some
mon’hs ago a Mr. McJunkius was killed near
Quincy, Fla., by a nepo, an account of which
appeared in these columns at the time. Large
rewards were offered for his capture, but noth
ing could be heard of him. On the up trip of
the steamer Jordan, which reached this city
last afternoon, at Neal's landing a negro got
aboard. None had the slightest, suspicion of
h'S being the guilty party, and the mere cir-
cum>tance caused the officers of the boat to
keep an eye on him. Mr. Joe Roper, who very
much resembles a man who has been in the
neighborhood of Neal's landing in search of
the negro, went into the engine room and gave
sora** order, when the negro jumped from a
bench on which he was lyieg. and very ex-
<i*edly said: *What is it, boss: what you
want?' His actions previously and afterwards
more firmly convinc-d the officers that he was
the man wanted. On the landing of the boat
h-* was arrested hy Policeman Burrus and
placed in the guardhouse, where be gave his
mme ns Wm, McNeeley. A warrant was sub
sequently issued, and he was placed iu jail.
Tbe officers of Quincy will be notified by tele
graph to come up and identify him.”
Under the caption of “Marine Intelligence,”

ing information of the shipping recently

OVER A PRECIPICE.
A Terrible Accident to a New Zea
land Train.
New Zealand Herald.
The train which left Greytown for
Wellington at 8:30 a. m on September
12th, when just beyond Cross creek,was
blown oil the line aDd buried over a
precipice seventy feet high. The lu^
gage van and passenger carriages were
overturned; the couplings did not break,
but still held the carver frames to the
engine, which remained tightly gripping
the middle rail, and luckily held firm
although swaying visibly under the
strain. The whole of the upper part of
the carriage, however, was smashed
into matchwood and hurled over the
precipice, passengers and debris being
scattered among bowlders down the side
of the declivity, but not falling to the
bottom. For a while, however, the
wreck of carriages hung suspended
above them, and had it given way or
tbe engine fallen over, all must have
been crushed to a jelly, as the gully at
this place converges almost to a point
nearly a hundred feet below, so that had
all gone down they would have been
crushed to a compact mass at the bottom.
They lay around for a time uncon
tcious, and those who first recovered
their senses described the scene as a fear
ful one—killed and wounded lyiDg
around in all directions covered with
blood, and the train above suspended in
mid air, threatening every moment to
fall on them. A Fell brake was de
tached to run down the incline for assist
ance. The two produce wagons were
also capsized by the gale, and the engine
had to sustain a double strain of several
vehicles hanging over the precipice at
b^th ends, full weight on the couplings
which fortuuatelv held fast. Two of
the children killed on the spot were
smothered in debris. The other was par
tially decapitated, and its brains dashed
out. The third was picked up, not
quite dead, by Herbert Dickson, one of
the passengers, himself much injured.
He tried to carry her up the bank, but
she died in his arms before reaching the
top. When the special train arrived at
the spot with doctors, the force of the
wind was so great that they had to crawl
on their hands and kuees, tightly clutch
ing the rail, to avoid being blown over
the precipice. The wounded were lymg
temporarily under the shelter of a cut
ting close by.

snlt ol tbe October Elections.
New York Star.
The news that the Republicans had
carried the State elections in Ohio and
Indiana did not dishearten General Han
cock in the least. He was in good spir
its yesterday, and entertained his visitors
with that frank cordiality which is one
of his most prominent characteristics.
When asked for an expression of his
opinion in regard to the Ohio election he
said that he was not disappointed, as he
had anticipated the result. Speaking of
Indiana, he further said that he hoped
to get some dispatches direct from his
friends in that Slate. He did not think
the Republicans had a right to claim
such a large n ajoritv in that State as
had been represented in the figures tele
graphed all over the country by the
Associated Press.
General Hancock thought that the Re
publican victory in the State election in
Indiana was no good reason for believing
that the State would go Republican in
the Presidential election. There were
local issues at stake in Indiana which
would have no effect in a national politi
cal contest.
One of the gentlemen present said:
‘‘Then you are not at all discouraged,
General?”
“I have not thought of being despon
dent,” was the reply, with some warmth.

leaving, about 4:15 p. m. yesterday, tire was
discovered in a lot of cotton on the Savan
nah and Florida Steamboat Company’s
dock. The entire wharf was covered with
cotton and naval stores, and but
for the promptness of the fire department a
serious conflagration would have ensued
One hundred and seven bales were thrown
overboard, of which sixty were 6aved and
are held for salvage by the parties picking
them up. The cause of the fire i« only

as the company is strict lu regard to smok

passing yesterday burned coal. The cotton
was all from Albany, and destined for Sa

To Hon. John Sherman, Secretary of the

Sir—Some days ago I saw a report of
your speech at a conference held by the
National Republican Committee at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, aDd you were quoted
as having used the following language:
“And now yon are asked to surrender all
you have done into the hands of Wade
II impton and the Ku Klux and tbe little
segment in the North that is called tbe
Democratic party.” May I ask if you used
these words, and, if you did so, did you
mean to counect me, directly or indirectly,
with what is known as tbe Ku-Klux-Klan?
Requesting au early reply, addressed to
me iu care of Augustus Schell, E§q., I am,
very respectfully, your obedient servant,
o. Wajjk- Hampton.

Washington, September 21, 1880.
Hon. Wade Hampton, New York:
Sir—Your noie of the 17th inst. is re
ceived,in which you inquire whether at
conference held by the National Republican
Committee at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New
York, I used the language attributed to me
as follows: “Acd cow you are asked to
surrender all you have done iDto tbe bands
of Wade Hampton and the Ku-Klux and
the little segment in the North
that is called the Democratic party.’
In reply, I have to advise you
that while I do not remember the precise
language, I presume the reporter correctly
stated In a condensed way bis idea of wbat
1 said. I no doubt spoke of you as a lead
ing representative of the D mocrat.ic party-
in the Sou h, and referred to the Ku Klux-
Klan as the representative of the barbarous
agencies by which the Democrats have sub
verted the civil and political rights of tho
Republicans of the South. I did not connect
you personally with the Ku-Klux-Klan. In
deed, I know that you had iu one or
two important Instances resisted and
defeated its worst impulses. I appreciate
the sense of honor which makes you shrink
from being named in connection with it.
Still, you and your associates, leading men
of the South, dow enjoy the benefits of the
political power derived from the atrocities
nf tli*. ‘'Kn
of the “Ku K!ux Klan,” in which phrase I
include all tbe numerous aliases by which
it has from time to time been known in the
South. Your power in the Southern States
rests upon actual crimes of every grade
in the code of crimes, from
murder to the meanest form
of ballot box stuffing, committed
by the Ku Klux-Klan and its kindred asso
dates, and, as you know, some of the worst
of them committed since 1877, when you
and they gave the most solemn assurances
of protection to. the freedmen of the South
These crimes are all aimed at the civil aud
political rights of the Republicans in the
South, and, as I believe, but for these agen
cies, the very State that you represent, as
well as many other Soates in the South
wou’d be represented, both In the Senate
and the House, by It -publicans. But for
these crimes the boa-t attributed to
yi.u, that tbe one Luadred aud thir
ty eight solid Southern vote6 would
be ca>t for the Democratic ticket, would be
but idle vaporing, but now we feel that it
is sober truth. While I have no reason to
believe that you or your Northern assocl
ates personally participated in the offenses
I have named, yet while you and they enjoy
the fruits of these crimes you must, in logic
and morals, be classed as I classed you as
joint copartners with the Ku K!ux Klans in
the pciicy which thus far has been success
ful in seizing political power iu the S mth
and which it is hoped by the aid of the
small segment of the Democratic party in
the North may be extended to all depart
ments of the government.
It is in thl6 sense that I spoke of you, the
“Ku Klux KlaD,” and tbe Northern Demo
cratic party. Permit roe, in conclusion
while frankly answering youi question, to
eay that it would be the most I at al policy
for tbe 8outh, by such agencies as I have
mentioned, to secure, again, political as
cendaacy In this country, for
asture you that the manhood
and independence of the North will
certainly continue the struggle until every
Republican in the South shall have the free
ana unrestricted enjoyment of equal civil
aud political privileges, including fair votes,
fair count, free speech, and a free press,
and the agitation made uecessary to secure
such results may greatly affect, lnjuriously
the interests of r.be people of the South.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant.
John Sherman.
Charlottesville, Va., October 1,1S30.
Sir—Your letter has been received, and
as you do not disclaim the language to
which I called your attention, I have only
to say that in using it you uttered what was
absolutely false, and what you knew to be
false. My address will be Columbia, South
Carolina.
I am your obedient servant,
Wade Hampton.
To Hon. John Sherman.
Washington, D. C., October 18, 1880.
Hon. Wade Hampton, Columbia, S. C.:
Sir—I have to acknowledge the receipt
of your note of the 1st inst, handed me un
opened by Mr. C. McKinley a few moments
ago. After my return from the West, I bad
this morniDg read what purported to
be an extract * from a speech made
by you, published in the Charleston
and Courier, and upon your general
reputation as a gentleman, had denied that
you had made 6uch a speech, or written
such a letter as is attributed to you in that
paper. What I stated to you in my letter of
September 21, I believe to be true, notwith
standing your denial, and it can be
shown to be true by the public records,
and as a matter of history. As you had long
before your letter was delivered to me seen
proper lo make public a statement of your
views of tbe correspondence. I will give it
to the press without pote or pommeat and
let the public decide between u-.
Very respectfully,

Philadelphia, Pa , October 18.—A
special to the Times gives the following par
ticulars of a political disturbance at Wil
mington, Delaware, on Saturday night
“On the route of the Democratic parade
last night at the southwestern corner of
Ninth and Walnut streets, is a three story
brick building known as National Hall, the
lower story of which is occupied
by two colored families, a barber
shop and cigar store kept by colored people.
In the second story ts tbe Heggins (colored!
Club headquarters. Here a festival of some
kind, gotten up bv two colored women,
was lu progress. Two clubs had passed
down Walnut street, and a third club, the
‘Blue Hen’s Chickens’, was passing this hall,
when a stone was thrown from
the sidewalk into the transparency
which the club carried. The club passed
on about fifty yards before it was generally
known that this had beeu done. When it
became known to the club, It halted and
the marshal said, ‘We have been insulted
all who are ready to follow me, come on
all who are not, get out of the way.’ At
this time tbe Young Men’s Democratic
Cub, next in line, numbering eighty-
five men, bad reached the hall, when anotbei
stone was thrown, which struck its Lteuten
ant, Colonel Thomas A. Kane, with such
force as to stagger him in his seat, he being
mounted. Almo6t simultaneously, two pis
tol shots were fired from the second story
of the hall into tbe club, which,being totally
unprepared, there being only six revolvers
among the eighty-five members, broke and
scattered in the midst of a fierce volley of
shots from the building, by which several
of the members of this club were slightly
wounded. From the fact that some of them
were buckshot wounds, added to the direct
testimony, it appears that some of the
negroes were armed with muskets.
The Blue Hen’s Chickens and the Williams
Club came rushing up, and returned the
fire, and for two or three minutes there was
hot firing on both sides. Then the negroes
broke and fled up Ninth street, pursued by
the paraders, who kept up a hot fire in their
rear. At the same time the air was tilled
with flying bricks and stones, which
smashed all the windows and doors and did
some damage to the iuterior of the ball.
Some threats were made to burn it, but
they were not carried into effect. Stones
were also thrown through the windows of
the colored church at Ninth and French
streets, and several colored houses were
bombarded with stones.
“The following is a list of wounded who
were in the line of the parade: Wm. McKin
ney, shot in the left cheek, serious: Thomas
A. Kane, of the Young Men’s Club, struck
in the breast with a brick: E. C. Montgom
ery, of the Young Men’s Club. 6bot twice iu
the breast, slight wounds; Wm. Weir, of
the Williams Club, wounded In the thigh
by a revolver bullet; Wm. Long, of tbe
Young Men’s Club, shot in the neck, slight;
Frank McGinnis, of the Williams Club, shot
in tbe neck,slight; Wm. Pearce, 6hot in the
shoulder by a bullet: Morris Pick, knocked
down by a brick and slightly injured; Thos.
Jones, five buckshot wounds, none serious;
E'ias Crilly, buckshot wound in the arm
Juo. O’Donnell, acting reporter for the
Sunday Mirror, struck in the abdomen by
a bullet. Only two colored men were
shot, and neither seriously. Temple, an
other negro, was brought in by the police
after the riot with his face badly bruised by
some missile. A colored woman was struck
In the side and a young colored girl struck
on the head with a brick. A colored woman
was badly hurt by jumping from the
second story window of tbe hall. Three
negro men were struck by bricks
and slightly injured. George Pike was at
tacked by several negroes after the row and
badly cut In several places. For nearly an
hour the clubs surged around the hall and
neighborhood exchanging shots with the
fcattered Degroes and throwing bricks
into the emptied buildings. At length
chiefly through tbe persuasion of
Ignatiu3 Grubb, they moved on.
Around at Tenth and Grange streets they
rallied and talked about attacking the large
orov/d of negroes who had rallied and made
a stand at Eleventh and Orange, but were
persuaded by the police and Thomas J.
Mellon to desist and disperse. The po-
eight in number, then went up to
lice.
Eleventh street to disperse the negroes.
There were over one hundred of the latter,
many armed with musket®, which they lev
elled at the approaching police and ordered
a halt. They directed that only
one policeman should come up to parley
with them. Having heard what this
officer said they promised to disperse, but
did not do so for an hour. The police were
powerless to coerce them.
“Yesterday morning at 9 o’clock a squad
of police were sent down to ijieperse a large
crowd of negroes gathered at Ninth and
Walnut streets. As tbe officers came uo
a mulatto opened fire on them from
au alley, and several 6hots were fired
by others lu the erowd. Special
officer Hugh Shields was shot in the
thumb by the 'accidental discharge of a re
volver he was wrenching from one of the
negroes. Patrolman Cannon was struck on
the head by a brick and disabled from duty.
The police grabbed one prisoner and dts
persed the rioters, when guards were placed
on duty. •
“Mayor Allmoml has been urged to for
bid night parades in fqturf, but doubts hjs
authority to do so. The City Uouucil wilj
be petitioned to take some action, as it is
reared that any future night parade would
be attended with serious loss of life.”
Wilmington, Del., October 18—Six
negroes have been arrested for participa
tion in the riot daring the Democratic
parade on Saturday night, and will be given
a hearing to-morrovy. \Vm. McKinney, of
the Bayard Club, whose injuries were
thought to be fa’al, is better this evening,
and will doubtless recover. Great excite
ment prevails, and the citizens generally

RUSSIA.
The Czar’* marriage—His Family
Object — His morganatic Wife
Reported Abdication In Fayoj* of
the Czaroxyltcl4«
By Telegraph to the Morning Neics.
London, October 18 —Reports have been
received from various sources that the Cjar
married the Princess Dalgoroaki on the 31st
of July. The event is veiled in the deepest
obscurity, and has never been mentioned by
the Russian press.
The marriage wa3 celebrated quietly in
the chapel of the Imperial Palace, none of
the Czar’s immediate family being present.
They were all opposed to the match, and
went abroad to avoid witnessing the cere
mony. The Grand Duke Nicholas and the
Minister of War were present. The newly-
married couple are now with the bride’6
family in Livldia. but will occupy tbe
palace of the Grand Duchess Catharina,
which the Czar has purchased for two
million roubles.
The Princess Catharine Dolgorouki is a
blonde, of charming simplicity and great
beauty, and the Emperor met her and fell
in love with her twelve years ago at the
residence of her sister-in-law, the Princess
Dolgorouki Vulcano. She followed the
Emperor to the banks of the Danube under
the name of Mme. Rilejer, in the late Turk
ish war. The marriage, of a certainty, is
of the kind known as “Morganatic,” in
which the bride stipulates that she and her
children will neither assume the rank nor
inherit the possessions of the husband.
A dispatch to the Juries from Berlin says:
Persistent reports continue to reach here
in regard to the ill health of the Czar, aud
his Inclination to abdicate in fa7or of the
Czarowitch. The latter has gone to Livadia,
a fact which dues not support the statement
that owing to the Czar’s marriage the Czaro
witch has quarrelled with him Irreconcila-

Charleston, S. C., October 18.—The cot
ton fire which broke out on North Commer
cial wharf yesterday afternoon is still burn
ing, but is completely under control. Early
this morning fire wa3 discovered in the two
forward compartments of the steamship
Bedford, which had previously been hauled
out into the stream. Five streams of water
were poured into these compartments by
the tugs, and after several hours work the
fire was extinguished. The fire in the
steamship Barrowdale still rages In the
hold, although she has been scuttled and
has had three streams of water
pouring into her hold all day. Her ma
chinery Is thought to be totally destroyed,
and the iron plates of her hull have been
seriously warped. The vessel Is very badly
damaged, and her cargo of 3,200 bales of
cotton is in imminent danger of being tc
tally destroyed. The Travancoe is not
much injured and is being pumped
out. Surveys were held to-day
on all of the damaged steamers, and it was
determined to discharge their cargoes at
once. Until this is done it will be impossi
ble to form any correct estimate of the
damage, either to the steamers or their car
goes. At this time the estimates of losses
are placed at the following figures: Coin
mercial wharf real estate $50,000,
cotton on wharf and in sheds $120,000, Van-
derhor6t’s wharf real estate $2,000, cotton
on Vauderhorst’s wharves $3,000, office
furniture and personal property $10,000,
damage to steamship Barrowdale $50,000,
damage 40 her cargo $144,000, damage to
steamship Travancoe $2,000, damage to
her cargo $105,000, damage to steamship
B-dford $10,000. damage to her cargo
$90,000. Total $5S6.000. The damage to
the real estate, to the cotton and to the
6 eamsbips is fully covered by insurance.

The Development of the Sonth.
The rapid recovery of the South is
illustrated by a table which the Galveston
News has just published from our official
statistics, showing the cotton trade of the
United States and the average price per
pound at New York and Liverpool for
the last fifty years. The comments of our
contemporary on these figures deserve
quotation: “From a crop of 970,843
bales in 1830, production in America has
increased in 1870 to 3,074,155 bales. Tbe
greatest crop before the war was 4,861.
29*2 bales—the greatest in the history of
ihe country was 3,0^4,155 b^les in 1878-
"9. Free labor has produced in
the fifteen years since the close of the
war 9.000,000 bales more than was pro
duced in the fifteen years preceding the
war. These are extraordinary facts,
from which startling deductions may be
made. It is discovered likewise that in
ratio of increased production has lieen
steadily maintained an increased ratio in
price. From the year 1839 up to the
year 1860 the average price paid in New
York for middling cotton was not quite
eoual to eight and a half cents. From
1805 up to 1879 the prico paid has aver
aged upward of twenty-two aud a half
cents. The staple has .settled down
upon an apparent basis of something
like twelve cents. It is estimated^by ex
perts and statisticians that cotton now
enters so largely into such a variety of
manufactured articles that increased de
mand keeps and will keep fully up to the
increased * production. This assures
prices. The American crop of 1879 re
alized $228,336,975. The same crop
for the } ear 1846 realised but $79,039,
475—a diilerence of $149,297,500.
The two years selected will serve as aa
illustration, os they appear to strike
about an average. With this system of
wealth accretion, how long will it take
the South to recover herself? Taking
cognizance of tho fact also that the South
is now more self sustaining in articles of
home consumption than she was in years
before the war, it must be apparent at a
glance that she is on the high road to a
magnificent future. Should the value of
export? from Texas this year reach $100,-
IKM!,0U0, as it is expected they will
do, it is safe to say that $25,000,000
of this amount will remain as a clear
profit of capital to the State. These ag
gregates in a few years will become so
great that money in the South will be
owned in abundance, the sequence of
which will be that in all directions will
spring up manufactures and kindred en
terprises, the establishment of which is
assurance of a steady and solid indepen
dence. The lessons of emancipation to
the South m^y have been bitter -; n their
time* and methods, but who will say
that after all they Uiav not prove a right
royal benefaction? The South i9 more
prosperous to-day than ever before in her
history'. As matters stand, to what may
she not aspire twenty or thirty year3
hence?”
