Mrs. Margaret Melerhofer and her para
mour, Frank Laramens, were hanged yester
day morning In Newark, N. J., for the mur
der of John Melerhofer, husband of the
former, at West Orange, on October 18th,
1879. Mrs. Melerhofer was very pale and
deeply affected, but walked to the scaffold
without any assistance, and died without
confessing or uttering a word. Lammens
was hanged from the same gallows im
mediately after Mrs. Melerhofer, but made
no confession.
Capt. Eads returned to New Orleans on
Wednesday from Vera Cruz on the Mexican
war ateamer Independence. He secured
the most liberal concessions from the
Mexican Government for his proposed 6hip
canal across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec,
among them a graot of one million acres of
land on the shore of the Pacific on which to
build a terminus for the railroad and estab
lish a harbor, and to charge and collect a
toll of five dollars per ton on the freight of
• ship and cargo passing over the road.
Mexico also allows Capt. Eads to secure the
aid of foreign governments to secure divi
dends, and the Captain expects the United
States Government will indorse the plsn up
to $50,000,000.
A man named Dan Rice refused to take
a drink with one James Curtis, In Henrietta,
Texas, when an altercation arose, in which
shots were exchanged. Curtis was killed
and Rice was carried to a doctor’s ofHce
badly wounded, where, while sitting In a
chair, he was mortally wounded by a ball
fired through the window.
Prestdent Wintz, of the New Orleans City
Railroad Company, who was confined in the

O. D. Conger was nominated for United
States Benator by the Michigan Legislature
on the seventh ballot, on Wednesday.
The nomination of Nathan Goff, Jr., of
West Virginia, to bo Secretary of the Navy,
was yesterday sent to the Senate by Mr.
Hayes. The selection of Goff was a great
surprise, as Mr. Hayes’ Intentions were
known to but few.
The total population of the State of
Florida, according to the census returns, is
266,566. Of this number 134,951 are males,
131,625 females, 256,871 native and 9,695
foreign born; 141,249 white and 125,317 col
ored.
In the Florida Legislature yesterday the
standing committees of the Senate were ap
pointed. The Governor’s message is ex
pected toffay. when the standing commit
tees of the Assembly will be announced.
The Cabinet nominations will be made
known on Monday.
In the United States Senate yesterday the
consular and diplomatic appropriation hill
was reported from the Committee on Ap
propriations, which was placed on the cal
endar. The Senate then proceeded to con
sider the calendar. Pending debates there
on the morning hour expired. The bill for
the relief of Ben Holliday was taken
up, and pending debate thereon the
Senate adjourned. The funding bill was
taken up in the House and occupied the at
tention of that body in committee of the
whole nearly the entire day. It was op
posed by Messrs. Kelly, Weaver and others.
Finally, the committee rose, Mr. Tucker, of
Virginia, stating that he would on Saturday
move to go into committee to consider the
funding bill by sections. The House then
adjourned.
The traversers have left Dublin for Lon
dor., and the interest in the State trials
have, In consequence, collapsed. A dispatch
*rom Dublin to the Times says the effect of
each an anomaly of satire upon the consti
tution as the continuance of a criminal trial
in the absence of the accused men can
hardly be favorable to the administration of
justice.
The New York stock market yesterday
generally opened weak, and subsequently
declined a fraction. Later on speculation
revived, and the general list, with the ex
ception of Nashville and Chattanooga, ad
vanced. Transactions aggregated 374,000
shares.
Governor Jarvis, of North Carolina, In
his message to the Legislature yesterday,
said the colored race, he is glad to say, are
beaming more ludustrious and thrifty,
anu that he regards it an imperative duty
for the-whites to 6ee full and,equitable jus

The United States Circuit Court of New
Yo*k have entered a decree refusing the
petition of the minority stockholders of tbe
Louisville and Nashville Railroad for an In
junction and receiver.
The Queen’s speech, delivered at the
opening of Parliament yesterday, is unusu
ally Interesting. Her Majesty congratulates
the body upon the friendly and harmonious
condition of her foreign relations; alludes
to the rising in the Transvaal and the war
in Basutoland, which she hopes will soon
be settled; to the close of the Afghan war,
and to the improved condition of trade in
her realms. The most interesting portion
of the speech is devoted to Irish affairs.
Regarding these 6he regrets that the social
condition of that country has assumed so
alarming a character, and states that while
every effort has been made to preserve order
under existing laws, they have proved ln
r effectual in certain counties. She therefore
recommends the adoption of more stringent
measures for the protection of life and pro
perty in that island, and also recommends
various reforms, among them the passage
of a more liberal land bill providing for
tenant proprietary interest in the soil, and
the establishment of county governments
founded upon representative principles.
The remainder of the speech is devoted to
general recommendations.
When the House of Commons reassembled
yesterday the attendance was very large.
Mr. Gladstone was received with cheers, as
was also Mr. Parnell immediately afterwards.
Mr. Forster, Chief Secretary for Ireland,
gave notice that he would move to day a
bill for the better protection of persons and
property In Ireland. Mr. Parnell gave
notice that he would oppose this bill. Mr.
Gladstone announced that he would move on
Monday next that the bill should have pre
cedence every day over all other business un
til it was passed.
In the House of Lords yesterday the Earl
of Beaconafield declared the accession of
the present government had unsettled
everything In Europe, Asia and Ireland
just at the time when, under the policy
of its predecessors, peace had been assured.
The attention of the House of Commons
was engaged nearly the entire day with the
.Irish question. Mr. Gladstone made a
lengthy speech defending his government,
which, he said, had entered on a task which
might fail, but which would redound to the
happiness and honor of all if it succeeded.
Upwards of nine thousand bills have
jamn introduced in the Senate and House
of the present Congress, but fortunately
for the country, very few of them will
ever get beyond reference to a conimiv
tee. It is probable, remarks the Wash
ington Star, that two-thirds of these bills
were introduced without any purpose,by
the members submitting them, of ever
♦ seeking to have them passed; that they
l are impracticable, and very many of
| them, perhaps, absurd measures, that
t were introduced to pacify constituents
and to make the M. C. “solid” in his
I c istrict. There is a good deal of bunkum

Savannah’s Commercial Importance
—What Congress Should Do for
Cur Klvcr and Harbor.
No city in the country has made more
rapid strides onward in commercial
importance during the past few years
than lias Savannah, and if she continues
to progress in the same ratio in the next
decade,she will rank next to New York,
Philadelphia, Boston and Baltimore
among the commercial centres of the
Union. Her carrying trade is im
mense—the average of steamers leaving
this for various ports being about
seven for every five days. These have
already carried off this season nearly one
eighth of the cotton of the South, and
there is every prospect that, before the
season ends, there will have been ex
ported from this port one-fifth of the en
tire crop. Our total exports, it is esti
mated, will amount for the present year
to $52,000,000, while we have paid to the
government since the close of the war in
duties on imports nearly $3,000,000.
In this connection the following sta
tistics of the business of our port this
season will not be uninteresting. The
amount of tonnage which has arrived at
our wharves from September Ist last up
to the Ist instant aggregated 320,171
tons, the largest ever before known in
the history of our city. The value of
our exports during the same period
amounted to $16,208,177, divided up
among the different months as follows:
September, $2,065,540; October, $4,923,-
702; November, $2,995,903; December,
$6 217,972. And here we desire to call
special attention to the heavy export
business of December, which is two
thirds of that of the three preceding
months inclusive.
Our receipts of cotton from September
Ist last to date are 620,994 bales of up
land and 8,275 bags of sea island, against
561.283 biles of upland and 7,461 bags
of sea island at the corresponding date
last year. Our exports during the same
period were 527,120 bales of upland and
4 620 bags of sea island, against 490,057
bales of upland and 5,951 bags of sea
island for the same time last year—leav
ing a stock on hand of about 104,782
bales of upland and 3,719 bags of sea
island.
Our receipts of naval Btores from the
Ist of April, the beginning of the crop
year, to date, are 215,861 barrels of
rosin and 47,440 barrels of spirits of
turpentine, against 168,646 barrels of the
foimer and 33,465 of the latter during
last year, and our naval stores exports
during tbe season were 187,050 barrels
of rosin and 49,069 barrels of spirits,
against 141,719 barrels of the for
mer and 28,789 barrels of the latter
for the same time last year. It will be
seen from these figures that Savannah
is already the first cotton port of the
South Atlantic coast, is rapidly taking
position as one of the leading naval
stores ports of the country, and ranks
besides as the second rice and lumber
port on the Atlantic, with every pros
pect of rising this year to the first rank
as a rice port.
These facts, thus briefly stated, convey
some ideu of the enormous business
being done at this port at the present
time. What this business will amount
to when the grain elevators now in
process of construction are finished —
which will be by the time the next grain
crop is gathered—it is impossible to say.
Our railway connections with the great
West will certainly be the mesDS
of onr receiving for shipment a
considerable proportion of that crop,
and it is quite probable that the number
of foreign steamers which will arrive at
our wharves will be at once doubled.
In addition to this there is also to be
considered our rapidly growing im
portance as a naval stores depot, and our
large shipments of Florida produce,
which are increasing each year, both
due to the vast extent of country
rendered tributary to this city by the
Savannah, Florida and Western Rail
way.
This exhibit of the present and pros
pective commercial importance of our
port shows of itself the great necessity
to the commerce of the country for the
improvement of our harbor, to the end
that we may secure such a volume of
water as that commerce demands. Our
bar is the finest on the Atlantic coast,
hiving twenty-seven feet of water over
it, and affording at all times inside a safe
and commodious anchorage for vessels.
The river now has nineteen feet of water
in its channel from the bar to our
wharves, and all that is necessary for the
government to do to secure twenty five
feet is to complete the system of improve
ments planned years ago.
Among the recommendations of the
engineers in charge of the work of our
harlior improvements are two, which are
specially important—one the cutting off
a point of Fig Island (which will soon be
effected), and the other removing the
point of Hutchinson’s Island at Kinsey's
mill, opposite this city. These two im
provements will accomplish much to
secure the main object in view, but they
cannot be accomplished with the meagre
sum of $65,000, which has been recom
mended to be expended this year upon
our river and harbor. True there is a
balance of past appropriations on hand
of $157,527 87; but this is all required to
meet past contracts not yet completed,
and the $65,000 mentioned will all be
expended on work already planned. The
cost of cutting away the points afore
said, including payment to its owners
for the land, dredging, etc., will, it is
estimated, require fnlly $90,000 addi
tional, and this should be made a sepa
rate and distinct appropriation for this
special purpose.
In asking this of Congress it should
be borne in mind that the appropriation
asked for is not to prove beneficial to
Savannah alone, but to the entire
country. As we have shown, this is
already the first cotton port of the South
Atlantic coast, and is destined at a very
early date to become a grain depot of
importance. Besides this. Savannah,
through the facilities offered by her
fine steamship lines and magnificent rail
ways, is the great entrepot through which
the merchants of New York, Philadel
phia, Boston, Baltimore, and many other
cities and towns in the North and East,
ship their goods to merchants in Geor
gia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Ten
nessee and Kentucky. The improvement
of our harbor, therefore, Is a matter in
which not only a very large proportion
of the business world is interested, but
is also of special interest to the General
Government, inasmuch as the increased
commerce certain to result from our
improved river and harbor will add pro
portionally to the revenue which the
government will receive from our im
ports.
There is still another subject in this
same connection which is worthy of spe
cial mention. This is the establishment
of proper harbor lights from the bar at
Tybee to this city. The steamers of our
ocean lines have to await the tides, and
as they frequently arrive at the bar at
nightfall, it is necessary that they should
take prompt advantage of high water in
order that they may make connection
with boats for Florida and our railway
lines. With sufficient lights along the
river, this can always be effected with
out risk. At present steamers use the
electric light, which is not satisfactory,
as it cannot always be relied on. An
appropriation adequate for the establish
ment of beacon lights along our river,
in sufficient number and of proper class,
is greatly needed.
We understand that Col. E. C. Ander
son, of this city, will, in a few days, at
the request of the Central Railroad and
Ocean Steamship Companies and the
Cotton Exchange, visit Washington to
lay these matters before our immediate
members of Congress. We have not
been able to elaborate the subject as
much as its importance demands. We
believe, however, that we have said
enough to aid that gentleman in his
efforts to enable the National Legislature
to arrive at a proper understanding of
the mission in which he is engaged.
Dr. W. H. Babcock.
We take pleasure in tendering our con
gratulations to Dr. W. H. Babcock, our
esteemed friend and confrere, on his
election to the position of Secretary of
the Florida Senate. We might with pro
priety extend our congratulations to that
body on their selection of so competent
and worthy a gentleman to fill that im
portant office. Dr. B. is a gentleman of
liberal culture and high character, a
steadfast and consistent Democrat, aod
will bring to the discharge of his of
ficial duties all the requisite qualifica
tions for the position. Formerly a val
ued member of the editorial staff of the
Mobxing News, he has for some three
years past been our special Florida cor
respondent, and by his able letters has
not only added to the general interest of
the paper, but has done much for the
devc’opment of the resources and the
advancement of the material prosperity
of our sister State.
Speculations About the Cabinet.
The fact which seems to be assured
that Representative Morton, of New
York, has declined to accept the Navy
portfolio, notwithstanding General Gar
field would have retained him, breaks to
some extent the Cabinet slates which
have been made up. It is fair to con
clude that the New York member is
not to be General Garfield’s Secretary of
the Treasury, else the tender of the
Navy Department would hardly have
been made him. It is now believed that
the Treasury Department will go to the
West, and in connection with it the
names of Gen. Robert Schenck, of Ohio,
and Janies F. Wilson, of lowa, are
mentioned. It seems to be generally
conceded that Senator Blaine will go
to the State Department, unless
Senator Hamlin should succeed
himself in the Senate, in which
event it is believed he would remain in
the Senate. It is said that Senator Hoar,
of Massachusetts, will be offered the At
torney Generalship, which he will de
cline. If Mr. Morton will not go into
the Cabinet, except as Secretary of the
Treasury, it is believed that Mr. Platt,
of New York, will be Postmaster Gen
eral. The Department of the Interior,
according to the quid mines, will go to
the Pacific slope or the far West, with
Governor Routt, of Colorado, well to the
front. It is said that Iloutt is indorsed
by General Grant and hi 9 friends. The
statement is also given, being made with
a degree more of "positiveness, that Don
Cameron will be Secretary of War; that
he is tired of the Senate, and prefers his
old place back as the head of the War De
partment. It is not thought the South
will have any representation in the new
Cabinet.
While other papers are contenting
themselves with recording the events of
1880, the Boston Globe precipitates itself
into the future and comes out under date
of January 1, 1981. It appears by its
record of events that in 19S0 there were
139 States in the Union, and 800,000,000
people. Canada, Cuba and Australia
had been admitted to the Union, and the
application of Brazil, Chill and Peru for
admission was before Congress. The
Refrigerator State, a territory discovered
by Captain John Kelly, who was sent
out by Mr. James Gordon Bennett, in
the hope that he would never return, ex
tended the boundaries of the Union to
the North Pole. Among the bills passed
by Congress in 1930 was one appropria
ting $25,000 towards completing the
Washington monument, and $50,000 for
the purpose of removing the Tower of
London to the grounds of the capitol at
Washington; that venerable ruin having
been presented to this country as a sou
venir of the British Empire. The Bos
ton Globe is an enterprising paper.
Richmond Ditpatch: “We see all
around us too many evidences that the
States are as nothing now-a days to al’
low us to hope that any respect is here
after to be paid to the rights of the
States. When we see Virginia Judges
tried in Federal courts for their acts as
such Judges; Virginia election officers
arraigned in Federal courts for acts done
in their official capacity; Federal super
visors overseeing our elections; Federal
Marshals overawing our voters ; the
Federal Government levying annually
millions of dollars of taxes on tobacco,
Virginia’s chief product, and many
other such things with which the Whig
is familiar, we are not hopeful that the
excellent doctrines now being taught by
the Whig will ever again find acceptance
in this country.”
It is reported that Colonel Fair, of
Nevada, expended $150,000 in the elec
tion of members of the Legislature
pledged to support him for United
States Senator. In addition to this ex
penditure, it is hinted that he will be
compelled to continue helping his pur
chased legislators, financially, until the
Senatorial election, in order to make
sure of them. If Colonel Fair has really
got off so far with the outlay of only
$150,000, then he will get the cheapest
United States S natorship yet sold in
that State, or the expenditures of his
predecessors have been greatly exag
gerated.
It appears that there was a falling off
in the number of arrivals of foreign ves
sels at New York during 1880 as com
pared with 1879 of 1,260, or nearly 16
per cent. In the arrivals of vessels from
Eastern domestic ports the decrease was
2,360, or upward of 23 per cent. From
the Southern ports an increase of 479
arrivals is to be noted. The diminution
of our coastwise commerce may to some
extent be accounted for by the enlarged
facilities offered by railway transporta
tion, but the decadence of foreign trade
can hardly be explained in that way.
Commenting upon the Chicago Time*'
showing of the popular vote, the Spring
field Republican says: “The census will
probably show that 750,000 adult Ameri
cans, who might, did not vote, and in
all probability it will also show that out
side of the two close States, Ohio and
Indiana, there are as many of these non
voters at the North as at the South, in
proportion to the population."
The immigration cf 1880 exceeded
that of any previous year, and the in
coming tide of arrivals continues right
on with an increase that warrants the
prediction that 1881 will record a larger
number than the year just closed.
Garfield and the Third Tenners.
If the article which we copy elsewhere
from the New York Tribune, in which
the editor of that paper professes to give
an outline of the policy of Garfield’s ad
ministration, really possesses the authori
tative character claimed for it, it may be
regarded as foreshadowing an open
rupture between the supporters of
the incoming President and the
third-term Republicans. The Tribune's
announcement, taken in connection with
the now universally credited report that
Blaine is to hold the position of Secreta
ry of State in the new Cabinet—Blaine,
of all other men the most obnoxious to
my Lord Conkling—leaves no room to
doubt that there is to be a lively fight
between the Radical factions. The St.
Louis Republican, commenting on the
Tribune's article, says:
“The third term leaders have believed
that the fact that they and their follow
ers elected Garfield would insure them
the balance of power in the new admin
istration, and they intended to
use the power to punish their
enemies of the Republican per
suasion. The plan was, and still is,
to make Garfield’s first term a stepping
stone for Grant’s third, which can
euly be done by sharply disciplining
such Republicans as were prominent in
the movement that defeated Grant in
1880—thereby persuading them to assist
him in 1884. But if the new adminis
tration is not to be used for such pur
pose, and has “honorable recognition”
instead of dishonorable humiliation for
the anti-Grantites, the plan collapses in
advance and mußt necessarily be aban
doned. Yet our Washington special of
of the 2d says:
“ ‘But Garfield will not break with
anybody. Although Blaine may accept
the position of Secretary of State, a
Grant or Conkling man will go into the
Cabinet from New York. The only
trouble is that it will not be the man the
machine would select. It will be one
they cannot fight, however.’
“If Mr. Garfield is so foolish as to sup
pose he can 'carry water on both shoul
ders’ in such a quarrel, events will con
vince him of his grievous error. Blaine,
as Secretary of State, would open the
battle. He is more obnoxious to Grant
and Conkling than any Democrat in
the land, for political jealousy is sup
plemented by personal dislike of the
bitterest sort. Any New York Repub
lican who went in the Cabinet with
Blaine, would thereby cut himself loose
from Grant and Conkling. and they will
find ways and means to fight him to his
heart’s content. The tight would of
course involve the President, who ap
pointed him in defiance of the machine,
and then and there would come the
‘break.’ The simple fact of the matter
is that Garfield must choose between
the two factions claiming him. If
he tries to go with both he will be
tom asunder, for the paths of
the third termers and anti-third
termers diverge widely. Neutral he
cannot be; independent he may
and ought to be. If that independence
brings upon him the opposition of
Grant, Conkling & Cos., he will get more
than sufficient support from other quar
levs to enable him to hold his own. And
the most unmistakable declaration of in
dependence will be the construction of
his Cabinet from harmonious material,
and the refusal to lend the influence of
his administration to the persecution of
those who do not wear the Grant collar.
\Ye shall soon learn, as the saying is,
‘whether ho is a man or a mouse.’ The
man ha* nothing to fear. The mouse
will have to look out for the cats.”
The effort of the Boers to re-establish
their little Republic of the Transvaal
may be regarded as akin to an attempt
of the Dutch to capture Holland. It is
in no sense of the word a rebellion, as
some of the British journals endeavor
to make out, but a revolt against a sub
stantially forcible annexation to which
they were compelled to submit, but
against which they have at no moment
ceased to protest. The movement to
ward a recovery of their autonomy has
apparently been carefully planned, and
seems to be under shrewd and able
guidance. These Dutch farmers of
South Africa are of the same sturdy and
heroic build with the founders of the
strong med’feval republic that grew up
about the Zuyder Zee, and they have
the traditions of freedom as well a9 its
instincts to inspire them. Their com
patriots in Holland have already es
poused their cause, and a powerful ap
peal is to be made to the conscience of
the British people. It is to be hoped
that the English sense of fair play will
lead the government to do them justice.
The New Orleans Picayune says the
Nicaragua canal scheme seems to elicit
very little support thus far. While Mr.
Lesseps has secured all the capital to
complete the Panama canal, and is about
to commence operations, no money has
been enlisted in the competing enterprise
beyond a newspaper fund to agitate the
Monroe doctrine.
It is said that General Grant has die
tated an article on the Nicaragua route
for the North American Review, in which
it is contended that the enterprise should
be undertaken by an American company.
The ultimate object seems to be to get
the work done at the expense of the Uni
ted States Treasury, but the property to
belong when completed to a private com
pany. The nation, however, is in no
mood at the present time to stand this
kind of financiering, even if its purpose
is to take care of the ex-President.
The exchanges at the New York
clearing house during 1880 reached the
enormous sum of $33,614,448,223. This
is one third larger than the business of
1879, and that exceeded any previous
year. When the national debt was lar
gest it was but one-fourteenth of this
tremendous aggregate of one year’s bus
iness in our commercial metropolis.
Populous cities are monsters that de
stroy life rather than nourish it. In tbe
city of New York, for the year 1880,
there were 31,866 deaths and only 27,556
births. Two-fifths of the deaths are
among children under five years of age.
These tenderlings cannot stand the bad
air and close confinement of pent up
dwellings and unwholesome streets.
A House Stricken with Diphtheria.
—Samuel Crump owns a handsome
house at Montclair, N. J. The house is
fitted up with all the modern con
veniences and appliances supposed to in
sure the health of occupants. A short
time ago one of Mr. Crump’s children,
a boy six years of age, was attacked
with diphtheria, and he died last Sun
day. Wednesday another son, age eight,
died from the same disease. Friday
night a little daughter also died from
diphtheria. A third son is very low with
the disease, and is not expected to live,
and Mrs. Crump has also been pros
trated. The source of the {disease has
been traced to Ihe ventilating pipes,
which, being placed too close to the
sewer pipes, received the poisonous
sewer gases and introduced them into
the house. — N. Y. Tribune, Ist.
Nineteen brethren of the Methodist
church at Bellemont, Pa., have been
convicted of noting. The Rev. R. 8.
Appel had been re engaged by one fac
tion as pastor, and dismissed by the
other. Taking the benefit of the aoubt,
he resolved to continue preaching. His
opponents barricaded the doors, and
created such a riot that the Sheriff was
compelled to disperse them. Nineteen
of them were prosecuted.
A Would-be Shooter Shot.— An
Omaha barber named Black went to
Sidney, Neb., Friday, with the avowed
purpose of killing Detective James L.
Smith for causing an offensive article to
be published about him. He found
Smith at the Lockwood Honse and fired
two shots at him, when Smith returned
the fire, fatally wounding his assailant.
Chinese Enterprise.
The Captain of the British steamer
Escambia, just arrived at New York
from Amoy, reports that the China Mer
chant’s Company, when he left, had just
contracted for the immediate construc
tion, on the Clyde, of four first-class
ocean steamships, of 1,600 tons each, for
service in a regular line between China
and San Francisco. These vessels, to
gether with those already in psssession of
the company, will enable the latter to
maintain an active competition with the
Pacific Mail and White Star steamers,
now making weekly trips on that route.
It is expected that these steamers will be
completed by July next, and be
ready for business in the following
month. Their comparatively small ton
nage is to insure full cargoes, the great
steamers, their rivals, being too large
for the trade. They will be manned
with native crews, but commanded by
English or American officers, as the in
surance companies otherwise would
declince to assume risks. It is thought
these Chinese vessels will not have to go
begging for employment, as trade in tha:
country now is undergoing a very mark
ed revival, and its commerce with the
United States is rapidly on the increase.
