This fast train, which will doubtless commence to run about the 11th instant, between New Orleans and New York, will prove a great benefit to Columbus. The time is forty-six hours between the above two points, and the line will be via Mo bile, Montgomery, Columbus, Macon, Au gusta, Colombia, Wilmington, Weldon, Richmond, Washington Ac., or at and from Weldon via Portsmouth, Ao. A schedule will be published when these most desirable arrangements will have been put into operation. We have been informed by a gentleman who is posted on the subject that this convenience was not brought about by the association of railroad dele gates, which met in Atlanta last week, but by the agreement of those in control of the different roads in the above named route. This is a schedule which has not obtained daring the past twenty years, and will be hailed with gladness by Co lumbus and her sister cities. SPECIAL ORDER DEPARTMENT. .

They are men of very high standing in the commercial world, not only for their fine business qualifications and reliability, but for their exoellent fi nancial condition. They have ample means to carry on their work in a most desirable style and are fully able to make liberal advances on all consignments, which they most respeotfnliy solioit. Both of these gentlemen are well-known in this city and can give tbe best of references—for instance, Chattahoochee National Bank, National Bank of Columbns and the Ea gle and Phenix Manufacturing Company. .They are fully identified with the city as their property is located here. Mr. Hirsch has been here about seven years in the fur business, in which he accumu lated his wealth, and Mr. Heoht about thirteen years in the dry goods line. They are men fully competent and worthy in every respect to manage, in a proper manner, the commission and auction business. This department of merchan dising can’t be a success without money, a plenty of which this firm has. They deserve liberal patronage.

Crook ed whiskey avaunt—strait whiskey go down, and lovers of the “best beer in the world” rejoice, for Linck—the famous Linck—the connecting link twixt what was good and what is better, announces that he has been appointed tbe only agent for the sale, South, of Bergner and Engel’s Celebrated Premium Philadelphia Beer. To celebrate the introduction of it, be proposes to-morrow to entertain his friends with “a Lunch that is a Lunch—” Democratic soup, Red hot soup, round which a Radical fly dare not linger—soup that will cheer, and with it a Beer—that is famed from Paris to Philadelphia—as the best.

At last his wife unto him said: “Rise up at once —get out of bed; and get your paper, ink and pen, and say these words unto all men: ‘My goods I wish to sell to you, and to your wives and daughters, too; my prices are so very low, that all will buy before they go. ’ ” He did as by his wife advised,and in the papers advertised.

The wicked scheme of counting in a de feated candidate for the Presidency, on the vole of Madison Weils’ Returning Board aud Eliza Pinkston's testimony, was accomplished upon last Friday. The party m place remains in power against the will of the people solemnly expressed through the ballot box, and the official agents under the Constitution have be come our masters in the ruin of the Con stitution. European monarchs sit firmer on their thrones, writes Conway from London, for our Centenniul sees the shameful end of self-government. The men taiuted with fraud and covered with infamy, repudia ted at the pools, are our masters at the Capital. They woek at the people and, iu the elegant language of oue of tbe high Commission, we are told to “grin and bear it.’’ Whether we grin and bear it remains to be tested. “Should a Presidential election occur,” said the prophetic voice of Senator Carpenter, when he forced a Republican Senate to reject Pinohback and pronounce this Returning Board a fraud—“should a Presidential election occur, with the Slate of Louisiana situa ted as it is, an attempt to use its electo ral vote so as to return a President would cause a civil war.” Senator Carpenter was not indicted for incitng a people to insurrection; on the contrary, his warning for the time was heeded, and the very board now relied upon was repudiated by the men who, at this moment, with Bhameiess audacity build their usurpations on its rotten foun dations. Deprived of the ballot, there remains to a proud, free people only an appeal to the bayonet. At the end of a hundred years we return to tlie place of beginning and cry out, in the language of the pa triotic fathers of the revolution, “no tax ation without representation.” The hon est citizen will stubbornly refuse to con tribute to the support of the usurpers; a House reflecting their will must refuse appropriations until the conspirators are choked off their ill-gotten possessions and the people permitted once again to ex press their will through the ballot. A subsidized press will pronounce this “raving,” of course. The Declaration of Independence was so stigmatized by the English and Tory press when first pro mulgated, and any utterance now that threatens values is regarded as insane by those who rate their property above the rights that in the eyes of the patriot gives worldly possessions their only value. Washington Capital. Eongfellow’s Birthday. Cambridge, Mass., Feb. 27.—Henry W. Longfellow, whom the whole world readily recognizes as one of the greatest of living poets, reached his seventieth birthday to-day. Some of his friends and admirers throughout the length and bredth of the land will rejoice to know that, in spite of his snowy locks and ad vanced years, the genial bard is as fresh in body, mind and intellect as his writings are sparkling, instructive and entertain ing. Although he is just now eugaged in editing the writings of others yet he con stantly bears witness by his new poems that his writing days are not yet over, oue of the latest and most charming evi dences being his “Rosary of Sonnets” in the last Atlantic. The idea of tendering an ovation to the distinguished author on this anniversary of his birth was agitated by some of his literary friends a few days since, and was only abandoned at the last moment by the expressed wish of Mr. Longfellow. During the day, however, he was the recipient of many friendly calls and congratulatory letters and tele grams. NEW CALICOES, FOR EARLY SPRING, Just received by feb4 tf Blanchard & Hill.

WATTERSOX&'S SPEECH ON THE OREGON DECISION DE LIVERED IN THE HOUSE FE BRUA R Y 24. MFBRISfilON TO THE USURPA TION INEVITABLE, BET NO COMPROMISE WITH THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, THE LOST OPPORTUNITY From the Congressional Record.] Mr. Speaker—I shall join in no move ment to obstruct the progress of the Presidential count. If tlie deed is to be done, and sure all of us know that it is to be done, “it is better when ’tis done,’cwere done qaicKiy.” No man has worked harder or longer than I have to prevent it. No man is more hurt by it than I am ; but, .as matters stand, it is inevit able. The power does not exist to place the man whom the people elected in the Presidential office. The power does not exist to put an estoppel npon the inaug uration of the man whom the people did not elect. The army, led by the general- in-chief, is here ready to escort him to the door of the White House; the chief Magistrate stands at the door ready to re ceive him ; the Chief Justice, attended by a majority of the Supreme Court, stand wituin ready to administer to him the oath of office according to the form of law. There is not so much as a single Unarmed Kentuokian to resist. The House is able neither to resist nor obstruct. It oau only refuse to proceed with the count. What then ? Why, this Senate, aided by tbe minority on the floor, will finish the job, declare the result and carry out the original programme of conspiracy with which the Republican leaders began their past election cam paign. You say this is lawless. You say it is usurpation. Well suppose it is, what do they care ? Are they worse off for the Electoral Commission than they were be fore ? Are they not better off for our impotent and blind fury ? Let us see. I hold that futile resistance is always to be avoided, particularly when the act of resistance has no objective point. The time for successful aettou on our part was three mouths ago. We knew the desperate character of our enemy then as well as we now it know. Nay, his plans and schemes were all before ns. Organization, preparation, was pressed upon us. Did we raise a hand ? Why, the very suggestion was hooted. At length there came a moment when, una ble to set a squadron in the field, we were offered an alternative—a very Hobson’s choice indeed—the electoral bill or back-down. I fought this bill for hours in the committee of advise ment. I fought it until I was no longer able to answer the arguments and facts brought to bear on the question by Sena tor Bayard and Senator Thurman, and even more notably by my friend from Virginia (Mr. Hunton),a Democrat whose manhood no less than his ability has won the respect and regard of this House. Then, failing to establish my view, I did what I always do and always shall do under similar circum stances—being unable to further meet and contest the case in friendly debate with my colleagues, I accepted their view and joined them in the measure propos ed. But I was by no means lured into a feeling of security. I perfectly under stood that the bill was a choioe of evils. Iu the remarks which I had tbe honor to submit to this House I said, “I accept this measure with the full consciousness that it may bitterly disappoint me and those who think and feel with me; if it does, I shall still have performed a most unpleasing duty in that manner which was best calculated to preserve the public peace at a time when the people are not prepared for war.” The result has vindicated my discern ment most sadly. I deplore it, but 1 see no means of escaping it. Many members of this House, whose judgment has ob tained the public confidence, are of the same opinion. Those who affect to think differently propose nothing definite. They have no objective point, except chaos or a case in law. God help us ! we have enough of “law” —such “law” as the Supreme Court has to give us. VVe have also had enough anarchy. There was never bnt one chance to seat Mr. Tilden in the office to which he was elected by the peopl.e That was for him, and for those immediately about him, to announce his election as soon as he was elected, to proclaim the conspiracy that was already organized to defeat his inau guration, to bring the people to some concert of action amongst themselves,and to give proof to tbe country and the world that they meant what they said, and were not to be brow-beaten or thwarted. Nothing of the kind was done, though it was proposed. Congress met in a fog of uncertainty. We had a deal of talk aod much beatiDg about the bush ; and finally oar great cause, the people’s cause, de generated into a nisi prius case before a packed jury. The result is before us ; and, as I said before, we cannot escape. Our sole power now is to make the best we can of a very hard bargain, to close ranks, to preserve our morale, to accept the contingency provided for by our own net, to appeal from the Electoral Commission to ths ballot-box, to pick our flint and try it again, or to sulk, “put finger in the eye,” divide and go to pieces. Which is the better coarse ? For my part, I have no mind for leaping from the frying-pan into the fire. I urged a reso lute policy when there was occasion to give it efficaoy. The time has passed when bold movements could avail us. To day, we have little impulse but our anger left, and no supports at all. If we are wise, we shall take into acoount all the circumstances that surround ns, we shall resume possession of ourselves, we shall give our enemy the full rope and line of his wrong doing. Does any man think there is no penalty fixed to political ex cess ? If he does he is mistaken. In public, as in private life, the infraction of God’s laws and the people’s interests meets its due condemnation and punish ment soon or late. The Republican party is a great sinner, and has withstood its destiny a long time I do admit. But the last four years have witnessed the taking off of maDy of its guiltiest leaders. Year by by year they will continue to oome to grief. In its order the party itself will fall, crushing those that remain with it in its complete and final wreck. I take this on faith,” and my faith is strong and pure; faith in the great creative principle of the universe; faith in the free institu tions; faith in the people, and faith in the future. I have no faith in the violent method proposed by some of our friends who are grown warlike after the event. They lernind me only of Swift’s Irish En gineers: “When all is lost that’s worth defense They build a magazine.” Iu this present battle all is lost except our honor, the memory of our struggle, the glory of our triumph, the lesson of our surrender. It chokes me to think about it. I will not think about it. I will turn away from it. I will not so much as drop a word of passing scorn on those who have soiled the ermine; for, God for give me and forgive us all, the chance, if not the fault, was not whol ly theirs. If we are to live for some wise and good purpose—tbe Democratic party of the nstion, I mean that has lived through so many tempests, hulk or iron clad, well-manned or ill-manned, the sur- vivor of so many disasters—we have something better to live for than epi thets, at best a poor and barren child’s play. If Mr. Hayes is coming into the Presidency, as coming in he is, I would not contest his legal title to the office. I would make no idle, factious outcry. I would not block his way. But I would let him pass along, saying, merely: “Sir, it is your turn to-day; to-morrow may be another’s; let those laugh most who laugh last.” No man need fear a break in the Dem ocratic line. The South is particularly unripe for plucking; neither is it for sale. During ten years it has piled up proof of -BY TELEGRAPH TO THE ENQUIRER. its capacity fur endurance. All this ses sion it has given hostages to fortune and —the North. To-day it is standing by its bond, a true exponent of fidelity and peace. If Mr. Hayes sees fit to vary the policy of national proscription and mili tary interference which has characterized the administration of General Grant, he will do a wise thing for himself, a just thing for the South, and a good thing for the whole country. But the South pro poses to ask nothing, to buy nothing of him or those who shall rule with him. The manner of his coming m builds a wall between his administration and those embracing a great majority of his fellow»-citizens, who preferred another. There can be no compromise with the Republican party; no compromise with the hiatorio eight. As Mr. Hayes may do the right, he will receive the commenda tion of good men ; but this is not expect ed of him, nor will it mare to the benefit of his party or wipe ont the disgrace of his coming in. I fear that if he be the liberal and conservative man he is said to be, he will not long remain so. He belongs to a party whose na ture is changeless, and it wid the rather control him than be it. The Democratic party has but to pick itself out of the slough of despond, look calmly at the situation as it is, and move forward bravely up the rocky ridge. There may be a deserter here and there. If there is, let him go. There may be, there will be, many a comrade who shall never mount the hill. Bury him with the honors of war and march forward. For us the word should be, as it was given by the greatest of philophers and statesmen a hundred years ago, “Cheer us if we run; console ns if we fall; but, for God’s sake, lat us pass on; let us pass on.” I hope, Mr. Speaker, I have made my meaning full and plain. I would assail no man’s motives. Knowing the integrity of my own, conceiving the full force and significance of the calamity whioh haB oome upon the country, I refuse to be crushed by it. I have no regrets of excuses to make for any act of mine. A greater architect than I gave shape to the materials with which I have had to deal in my poor way. Would it had been stronger, wiser; but such as it was it is, and I stand by the reoord. I shall go hence to another and fairer scene; and, seeing the spring flowers illuminate the blue grass of Kentucky; signals at once of God’s love and bounty, shall feel that the heavens are not yet robbed of their sunshine, the earth of it fruitioD, nor the future of hope. Renovation* not Prostration. Did any enfeebled human being ever become strong under the operation of powerful oathar- tlos or salivants'.’ It is sometimes necessary to regulate tbe bowels, but that cannot be done by active purgation, which exhausts the vital forces and serves no good purpose what ever. The only true way to promote health and vigor, which are essential to regularity of the organic functions, is to invigorate, discip line and purify the system at the same time. The extraordinary efficacy of Hostetter’s Stom ach Bitters In cases of debility or irregularity of the organs of digestion, assimilation, secre tion and discharge, Is universally admitted. Appetltite, good digestion, a tegular haMt of body, active circulation of the blood, and puri ty of all the animal fluids are induced by this superb tonic and corrective. It has no equal, moreover, as a preventive of chills and fever, and other types of malarial disease. To emi grants and travelers it ispirticularly servicea ble as a medicinal safeguard. mill 80di.wlw AUCTIONEERS AND COMMISSION MERCHANTS.
