COLUMBUS SUNDAY ENQUIRER: SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 1, 1877. %uqnivtv. COLUMBUS, GEORGIA: SUNDAY JULY 1, 1877. SALISBURY & CO., - Proprietors. Miss Mabt Adams, daughter of Charles Francis Adams, has been married to Dr. Henry Parker Quincy. President Hates baa tendered to Pro. feasor John M. Langston (colored), of Howard University, the Haytian Mission. A legacy of $10,000 from the estate of the late Chief Justice Chase has jnst been received by the Treasurer of Dartmouth College. Charles Taylor, a colored lawyer from Massachusetts, has been admitted to practice in Maryland, the first negro in the bar of that State. The exhibitors in the permanent show at Philadelphia have declared, by a vote of 835 to 509, in favor of keeping open the exhibition on Sunday. Radical Redfdeld writes: “Poetry and sentiment aside, the blacks of the cotton States find that freedom to them means the right to work about as hard as they ever did, and have as little to show for it” Col. Sellers, otherwise J. T. Ray mond, passed the Treasury Department in Washington, the other day, and said mildly: “There’s millions it!” and im mediately added, reflectively, “there’s millions after it.” A financial statement of the affairs of Yale College for the year just closed shows its income from all sources to have been $140,162, and the expenditures $145,417, showing that the expenditures have exceeded the income over $5,000. Much dissatisfaction exists in Iowa, over the action of the Republican State Convention. Greenbackers and Temper ance men threaten a bolt and the organi zation of new parties. The Convention adjourned amid a scene of unparalleled confusion. Dr. Stevens, late the house snrgeon at St. Peter’s Hospital, New York, died on Snnday, after a brief illness. He lost his life at the early age of twenty-one in consequence of a dissecting wonnd re ceived while making a post-mortem ex amination in the hospital a few days ago. From seventeen to twenty thousand of the homeless sufferers of the fire at St. Johns are daily supplied with substantial food at the rink, where contributions are concentrated. The amonnt of provisions already consumed has been enormous, but the stock holds out well and and is constantly replenished. There is mnch inquiry as to who Le Due, the new Commissioner of Agricnl tare, really is. All that can be learned is that be is an old railroad man in Minne sota, where he was fortunate enough to secure the friendship of Mr. Hayes’ pri vate secretary, Rodgers, when that gentle man was in Minnesota for his health. John Sherman has gone into real estate speculations in Washington on a large scale, a la Shepherd. A short time sinoe be purchased a large tract of ground on Capitol Hill. Then he influenced the District Commissioners to make some necessary improvements in the immediate locality. This was Shepherd's old triok, and, of course, the old resnlts have fol lowed. The prediction that the export of fresh meat from this country to England wonld ultimately become a huge traffic is rapidly being verified. New York in April last, sent 6,000,000 pounds, and Philadelphia 2,500,000 pounds. At both of these ports the shipments are steadily increasing. Philadelphia, for instance, last October sent but 1,500,000 pounds, while now its monthly shipments ran into the millions. Vanderbilt and Gould the other day at Detroit attempted by proxies to secure control of the Michigan Central Railroad, bat, while the two were plotting, the old Board of Directors was re-elected. Gonld wanted the road as a connection between his Eastern and Western roads, and Van derbilt was opposed to his little game. Though the latter did not get control of the road he prevented the former from doing so. The report of the Bank Examiner on the failure of the Missouri National Bank has been received at Washington. The reports that the directors had loaned themselves in exoess of the legal 10 per cent, limit proves nntrne. Several of them had received loans which closely approached this limit. The opinion of the Examiner is that the depositors will be paid in fall, bat that it will be necessary to assess the capital stock. ■ ■«««« The managers of the great railways running out of New York seem to have determined to make this year one of jubilee. The pooling of the West bonnd traffic, and the maintenance of the East bound rates by the trank lines, have been followed by a local alliance of the New York Central and Erie. An agreement has been entered into, putting an end to all local bickerings. For years past there has been very havy competition on all State business. Gov. Hampton, of South Carolina, who bad declined all pnblio demonstrations since his arrival in New York on official business, accepted dinner at the Manhat tan Club on the invitation of a few per sonal friends. The company included Mayor Ely, Major General Hancock, Mr. August Belmont, the President of the Club, and other prominent persons. Ex- Governor Tilden, who was nnable to be present, sent a note in which he took oc casion to express his deep sense of the services rendered by the Governor of South Carolina to the cause of pnblio or der and of reunion. The United States Supreme Court has Tendered a decision in another “Granger” case, affirming the right of a State to fix the rates of fare and freights on railways, unless such railways are protected by their charters. The Chief Justice, who delivered the opinion, held that the cor poration—the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad Company—is liable to each rules and regulations as may be pre scribed by the Iowa legislature; in fact, that when the legislature steps in and fixes the rates it operates upon this cor poration the same as it does npon indi viduals engaged in a similar business. The Supreme Court sometime ago ren dered • like decision, and it is not likely thy any more oases of this class will be appealed to that tribunal. THE FAULT-FIB DEBS. Every commnnity has its ^salt-find ers.” They ere generally people who have become soared with the world be cause they have themselves proved fail ures, and console themselves by discover ing, as they suppose, the short-comings of their neighbors. Our commnnity is not exempt from the curse of “fault-find ers.” Now, we admire our local fault finders, we have a peculiar kind of regard for them. We know them We know their why's and their wherefore’s. We knew their fathers and have beard of their grandfathers, and in a few instances, of their great grand fathers. Most of the grand fath ers and great grand fathers commenced life when the present generation of fault finders are likely to end it—at the bottom. Now, if there is anybody that onr fault finder does delight to exercise his pecu liar gifts upon, it is the man or men, who by the sweat of their brow is able to wear a clean shirt and that shirt paid for. How truly delightful it is to our fault-finder to take a newspaper that he has borrowed or purloined and go among his neighbors and tell bow the editor has injured them. How artistically they interpret the mean ing of a sentence to convey a damage to his neighbor friend. We have several of these fault -finders on our records, and we will have to teach them the beauty of telling the truth if they don’t stop their insinuating ways. Now these gents are onr personal friends —we know they are, for they always greet ns kindly when we meet them, and are ever anxious about the health and wel fare of onr families. Bat we most be saved, even from onr friends, and, to do so, a lesson in good manners will have to be taught somebody. So we beg of onr fault-finders to be on their guard, and when they think proper to find fault with os, to do so without falsehoods. THE SUMMER CAPITAL. MEANING OF THE PROPOSED DEMOCRATIC GATHERING AT WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS. Washington special to the New York Herald.] The Democratic gathering at the White Snlpbnr Springs next month is likely to be more of an affair than was at first thought. When the matter was originally spoken of a suspicion was entertained that the proposed powpow was suggested by the proprietors of the hotels there as an advertising scheme, and was intended as a stroke of business, bnt it tarns oat that the idea of the meeting originated with some of the Soatbern Democrats who will pass the summer at the Springs in any event, and to whom it occurred to make their gathering,if numerous enough to be respectable, a sort of preliminary canons to the extra session of Congress which is called for the 15th of October. The proposition has unwittingly re ceived encouragement from the many rival Democratic candidates for Speaker of the next House, each and all of whom are now sparred to be pres ent by cariosity as to the developments of the conference and by a jealous anxi ety to head off each other in any possible efforts made to forward their respective olairas. As a Democrat said to-day, “None of the candidates dare stay away.” It is asserted on good authority that Messrs. Cox, Morrison, Sayler, Goode and Blackburn have signified their intention to be on band. Congressman Walker, of Virginia, is already on his way there and Gov. Wade Hampton is expected as a general guest. A large delegation from Alabama, marshalled by Congressman Forney, of that State, will, it is said, be present to lend their assistance to the Southern Bonrbon movement to defeat Mr. Randall for Speaker, because he re fused to conntenance the fillibnsters last winter and thereby allowed President Hayes to be declared elected. A large force of Northwestern Democrats will pnsh (he claims of Hr. Morrison. The actnal conference will last abont ten days—namely, from abont the 20th to the 30th of July ; at least that is the conjec ture. It is based very probably on the expectation that President Hayes will be present during the time specified, for which occasion cottages are reported en gaged for him and his family. These ten days will be the height of the season and therefore the time when the attend ance will be largest and best calcnlated to allow of a general interchange of opinion. The occasion will also be taken advan tage of by the rival seekers of the offices of Clerk, Sergeant-at-Arms and Door keeper to watch the progress of their chanches, and, if opportunity offers, to make capital against the regnlar caucus in Washington in October. mm Effect of the President’* Order on tbe Political Office-holders. Baltimore Sun ] Washington, June 26.—The Presi dent's order to his office-holders forbid ding their interference in the manage ment of polities continues to excite the liveliest comment among those concerned. Many of the Republican politicians say openly that they do not believe the Presi dent means that this order shall be con strued literally, for if so it oan mean nothing more nor less than the destruc tion of the Republican party. Several prominent office-holders who have been very prominent in running the political machine have communicated that they will resign their offices sooner than give up their right to take part in politics. a It is not likely that this will be carried out in many instances. It is claimed in some quarters that the office-holders, who are serving on political committees will not have to retire, bnt that what is demanded of them is only that they shall not inter fere with the free will of their subordin ates, and shall not be parties to question able means to pack primary meetings or nse the Federal patronage in the interest of this or that faction of the Republican party. A gentleman, now here who is the chairman of the Republican com mittee in one of the largest States of tbe Union, says that in bis belief, the men who have been in the habit of controlling the party caucuses will not surrender their power at the bidding of the President. To save their offices, he says, they will pnt figure heads in places, while they will continue to pull the wires. A very curi ous commentary on the President is the fact that almost before the ink with which it was written is dry a cabinet officer, the Secretary of War, left here to attend the Iowa Republican convention, and if pos sible to shape its action in favor of the administration po icy. It is also known that a large number of members of tbs Iowa convention are Federal officeholders, and they are expected to act under the direction of Mr. McCrary. Americas Snobs Abroad. Paris correspondence of Hartlord Times.] The Americans wonld be glad to see the days of the Second Empire retnrn, when tbe gay court was open to them, and the leading lady in millinery ruled it. Cos tumes are very handsome now, and cost enough, I am sure; but the show and the glitter are not the same as then, and while the finest taste is seen in certain places, in others there is a plentifnl lack of it. It seems rather fanny, however, to hear Mme. l'Americane with ruz en Vair, and such a crushing manner, object to the manner in which the Bonrgeoise are push ing themselves into society. Messieozs. Berlanger and Cordonnier are not at all to her liking, although the fortnne she inher its may have been made in that redolent portion of New York known as the swamp. There is no one who hates the smell of leather as your true republican, especially when he has settled in Paris. He likes titles and orders, and his genealogical tree invariably goes back to at least William the Conqueror’s time, albeit, at home, his grandfather did not even know where he was born. However, we all have our weaknesses, and they develop differently tinder different skies and circumstances. Certainly people are born with aspirations, and they cannot help it; and I think most of these come to Paris. GEORGIA HEWS. —Died, on the 16th alt,, in Webstar ooonty, Mrs. Mary Kendrick.

They pile on the flottery pretty heavy. In their biography of Hon. David Goff, of Ran dolph, they Bay he was for years Jndge of the Superior Court of his disirict. Mr. Goff is a plain, honest farmer, has made a good Representative of bis connty in the Legislatnre, and may have been a Judge of the Inferior Conrt, bnt we think it generally takes lawyers to make Judges of the' Superior Court. —The Atlanta Constitution mentions the following narrow escape from death in that city: “On Saturday afternoon, as some workmen were repairing the ridge roof of the rolling mill a portion of it fell in, carrying down a colored workman named William Upshaw. He fell astrad dle the main steam pipe and clang there some ten seconds, seeking to save him self from the long fall to the iron pave ment below, bnt he was forced to let go and take tbe plnnge. His arms and body were badly bnrued, one arm broken and his shoulder dislocated by the fall. He now lies in a critical condition. The white men saved themselves by timely jamping to the main roof.” —A special to tbe Constitution from Bowdre, Ga., says: “A tramp, giving bis name as J. H.

He confessed tbe crime, and says he first broke open tbe blacksmith shop to get the proper tools, and then entered and robbed the store of such goods as he could conve niently carry away. He acknowledges to robbing the houses of Davis and Goldens the same night. The most of the property was fonnd in his possession, he having sold some to Mr. John Crawford, who lives seven miles east of here. He sold a quantity of perfumery, soap, combs, pills, etc. He was making bis way back to Tennessee. He waives a trial and goes to jail. ” •» » « ■» - - ALABAMA NEWS. —The crops of Macon connty are reported as being in a splendid condi tion. —Eight yonng ladies graduated at the Alabama Conference College at Tnskegee, at the close of the last term. —The Montgomery Shooting Club will give their annual festival and barbecue at their clnb grounds at Jackson’s Lake on July 4th, 1877. —The Headlight won’t be published this week.

RUSSIANS MARCHING ON TO SIX- ISTRIA-OU1ET ON THE DANUBE. Bucharest, June 30.—The Russian forces at Hirsova are reported to be marching on to Silistria. They are said to be within forty kilometres of that for tress. The Turks are apparently concen trating their troops in the principal forts where they will soon be attacked. Everything is reported quiet to-day on the Danube. HOW THU RUSSIANS CROSSED THE DANUBE JUST BELOW BUMNTTZA—JOINED GRAND DUKE NICHOLAS AT SISTOVA. It is ascertained now that the principal crossing west of Garigevo was at Petrace- ni and Parapan, jnst below Snmnitza, where the Russians crossed on a large number of rafts and small boats, until the position was secured on the south bank. This accounts for the comparatively small loss suffered by the Russian troops,as the passage was effected in small detachments who were scattered on the river and ad vanced towards the opposite bank, after the manner of skirmishers, so as to rend* er the enemie’s fire less effective. The Russians have also crossed at Turnn Magnerill, and have joined the Grand Duke Nicholas at Sistova. The Russian commissariat have telegraphed to harry up supplies for the army, rep resenting that the country on tbe other side of the river is destitute and saying there are fears of famine in Bulgaria. RUMORED THAT RUSSIANS CAPTURED BATOUM —FRIGHTFUL SLAUGHTER TO THEM IN ATTEMPTING TO CROSS THE RIVER AT NIKAPOLIS. London, June 30.—Rumors are that the Russians .captured Batonm, and Turk ish gunboats destroyed the bridge at Ibrail. Foreign consuls left Rnstchnk. . A dispatch from Nikapolis to Daily Telegraph, Jane 29th says the Russians attempted to cross the river here on Thursday in fifty lighters, ten of the lighters were sank by shells and the at tempt failed. The slaughter was frightful. DESTRUCTIVE BOMBARDMENTS ALONG THE DANUBE. Telegrams to the Daily News from va rious points on the Danube give particu lars of the frightful bombardments along that river. At Rnstchnk the German con sulate was destroyed by twenty-fonr shells, the French by three, and the Aus trian consulate was riddled. The military hospital in the Jews’ quarters received 72 shells. They fall everywhere, and no spot can be considered safe. Up to Wednesday the Turks had thrown 2,000 or 3,000 shells into Genrgevo. However, though the streets here and there are ploughed np and houses bored through, not more than one house in twenty or thirty is seriously injured. At Altenitza, Gen. Ehrenworth, of tbe 11th infantry division, was shot through the shoulder by a Turkish sharpshooter from the other side of the Danube. A Daily News dispatch from Vienna, dated last night, says it is persistently announced here that a battle has been raging to-day below Sistova. Servia has ordered at Paris accoutre ments for 50,000 men to be delivered in three weeks. THE TURKISH BATTERIES UNMASKED BY LAUNCHING A FLEET OF DUMMY SOLDIERS. Tbe Daily News has a Altenitza dis patch, dated Wednesday, which says this morning’s operations have been a success ful attempt to nnmask the Turkish bat teries, by launching a fleet of eight boats loaded with dummy soldiers. When the fleet reached raid stream, it drew the fire from a thousand rifles and many cannon npon itself and the Russian earthworks. THE INDIANS. threatening general TILITIES. HOS- OUTBBEAK AT MT. IDAHO. San Francisco, June 30.—The Port land Press, containing tbe latest reports from the scene of the Indian outbreak, says a tribe of Indians, known as the River Snakes, killed John Ritchie of Mt. Idaho. The Coner D’Alenes, who have thus strictly obsetved their promises of good behavior, are reported to be in pur suit of the mnrderet8. It is reported at Clear Water that the Indians under Look ing Glass had turned loose and plnndered Governor Dempter’s place, between the middle and sonth forks of the Clear Wa ter, and driven off the stock and settlers fonnd between these forkB, and had it at their camp, abont six miles above Kamab. This confirms Jim Sawyer’s statement made in the Indian conncil yesterday at Lapwai, as the purposes of Looking Glass and his forty men. Tbe Indians told two Chinamen on Claar Water that they had declared war on the whites and wonld commence their raids npon the inhabitants within two days. When this news reached Monnt Idaho a force of twenty volunteers started immediately for Clear Water, bnt no news has come from them yet. Gen. Howard was notified and said he wonld send a dat tachment of regulars to sconr the connrry in that direction. This morning, the volnnteers who were in the fight on White Bird creek saw an In dian who went out as one of the friendly Indians with Colonel Perry, from Lapawi, who brought the hostiles forward in the fight and saw other movements of some of the friendly Indians, connsel- ing friendliness to hosti es daring the fight. A report, which lacks confirmation, is that General Howard had attacked Jos eph and disloged him from Horse Shoe Ridge. A Boiz City dispated mentions indica tions of the presence of hostile Indians in the Wiser Valley. The settlers are leav ing for places of safety, abandoning grain fields, orchards and gardens, which are being destroyed by stock. Narrow Escape From Fire. Watertown, N. Y., June 30.—An in cendiary tramp burned a farm-house in this vicinity. The inmate-- escaped. An eight year old girl escaped. The mother with her child ran through the flames covered with a blanket.

OPINIONS OF THE HEW YORK PRHBS. Special to Charleston Journal of Commerce.] New York, Jnne 28.—The Sun says, concerning the approval of Hayes’ order by some Democrats, that it may be con sidered very shrewd on the pan of the Democrats to approve of this order be cause if carried into effect it wonld almost disband the Republican party, while the Democratic organizations wonld remain in tact, and thus a Democratic victory in the next Presidential election would be made certain. But we can recognize no policy in a party as really wise nhich is opposed to sound constitutional princi ples. The World, unlike the Sun, seea in Hayes’ order a stroke at the root of offi cial corruption, and asks how is it possi ble for sincere Democrats or sincere be lievers in a government of people by the people to disapprove of snob an order ? The Tribune says of Hays’ order. “So long as a majority of citizens of the Re public are neither Federal office-holders nor office-brokers, and do not depend on predatory politics for a livelihood, the President’s civil service order is in no danger of it being swept away by tbe freshet of popnlaFindignation.” The Times does not join in the belief of some that it will be difficult to carry ont this order, and says unless the better ele ment of party have lost their yitality »nd those who have cried loudly for reform are unwilling to bear their share of its responsibilities, tbe difficulties incident to tbe execution of the President’s order will be Blight in comparison with the good resulting from it.

A Man and Two Women Killed.—A terrible affair occurred about three miles from Jacinto, Mississippi, io the early part of this week. We give the particu lars as they were related to us by a relia ble party, and we presume they are main, ly correct. Two disreputable women of the neighborhood went to the residence of Mr. Sol Carpenter, invited his wife into the yard and commenced npon her a tirade of abase interpersed with threats of per sonal violence. Mr. Carpenter, after lis tening to them for some time, came ont of the house and ordered them to leave bis premises, when one of the women drew a pistol and shot him, inflicting a mortal wonnd. He managed, however, to retnrn to tbe bouse and get his gun, with which he returned, and killed both the women instantly, and he died a short time afterward.— Corinthian. A Superb Blood Deparent. Upon the action of the kidneys, bladder and bowels depends the depuration of the blood. It la by promoting the activity of these organa that Hostetter’a Stomach Bittera enaurea pa rity to the circulation. In its pasaage through the kidneys, impuritiea which beget rheums’ tiam, gout and gravel are atralned from the blood, bnt when these small bat all important organs grow inactive, these impurities of course remain, and inevitably produce the dis eases mentioned. Hostetter’s Bitters rouse the kidneys to renewed activity, by which means the blood is depurated. It likewise purifies the blood when contaminated with bile by promoting a gentle but effectual action oi the bowels, and has the further effect oi regu lating the action of the liver, thus counteract ing a tendency to bilionsnesi. Dyspepsia, ma larial fevers and urinary complaints are also conquered by it. AMUSEMENTS. SPRINGER’S OPERA HOUSE. SXiOOND GRAND CONCERT —OF THE— Columbus Choral Union! Tuesday, July lOth, 1877.
