ANl) MURE THAN TWICE THE LARGEST AGGREGATE CIRCULATION I Wren Tweed talks of John Murriascy ho apoaka by the cord. The fifty-aovon oatnrncta whiob Stanley passed may have boon ell in bia eye. It ia enggnated that if Ob’ef Joaopb would oapturo Howard and bring him to Gen. Sheridan ho wonld bo entitled to the gratitude of the oountry. Tbibtt odd thouaand emigranta have come to Amorioa since January 1st, one- third of whom are Germane. J-iah em igration baa largely diminished. The City Attorney of Galveston has given it as hia opinion that *ho oity ia not liable for $2,250 worth of scrip issued to pay the expenses of entertaining the Kan sas delegation in 1875. Uom. Heiiobei. V. Johnson, of Geor gia, ia undoubtedly the strongest man who has yet been named in the South for tho vaoant place on tho Supremo boneh — Washenglon National Ilepvbliean Amono exports Mr. Evarta has tho oredit of having written the artiole in tho North American Bcvietc, in defense of the elootoral cotspiraoy. It ia signed by Mr. Stonghlon, but ports of it, at least, are unquestionably from tho pen of the senior oouusel in that atrooiors oaae. Ono hundred and eleven miles in an hour and forty-nine minutes—six milos in live minutes—a mile in fifty seoonda— must be conoodod to be passably rapid traveling. Yet this remarkable time is reported to have been reoently made by a special train on the Canada Southern Itail road. Mb. Allen, the latoly appointed rooeiv- er of the Jacksonville, Fennaaoola and Mobile ltailroad, arrived last week and has taken oharge of the road. He will aot as General Managor, with ollloo at Tallahassee. Mr. E. It, Uammatt has been appointed Troasnrar and Auditor, and Col. F. U. Papy general Freight and Ticket Agent. Gallant Goudon. — Under this bead tho Winnsboro (S. 0.) Herald says: “A strong fight will bo made over Senator Gordon's seat from Goorgia this fall. The gallant Gordon has won a socond term by his patriotic and able rooord. Especially gratifying wonld his re-olootion bo to tho many South Carolinians who met him last winter in Columbia during those trying times. ” A iiundueu yoars ago an old fellow in Germany loft a considerable ostato to bo divided among his dosoondants of tho third and fourth generations, who are said to havo settlod in New York, Ohio, Mich igan, Illinois, Iowa and California. It now amounts to $12,000,000, and to get a share of it all you’vo got to do is to provo that your namo is Van Floet, and estab lish soveral other thiugs to tho satisfac tion of tho parties having tho ostate in hand. Hut that you can novor do. Tnn Uopuhlioan loador in tho Now York Senate for a nuuibor of yoars has been Mr. William li. Woodin, to whom Tweed says he paid forty thousand dol lars in 1870 for ono vote and some influ- enoo. Last spring a oommittoo of tho Sonato investigated an nnoflioial charge of this kind, and gavo Mr. Woodin a now obaraotor, whioh ho Boomod to bo in neod of. lie will now noed nnother one, unless it can bo shown that Tweed doosn't know what ho ia talking about. The Commissioner of the general land office has reooivod a report from the Spooial Agent at Donvor, Colorado, to tho offoot that ho has ao’zod between sevonty and ono hundrod thousand railroad ties in the State of Colorado, and has discov ered several saw mills to bo in operation on tho public lands iu that Stale. Tho Commissioner has instructed the Spooial Agent to have roploviuod all logs and lum ber found at thoso saw mills whioh havo boon takon from tho public lands of the United States. Mtasouni ltsrunLioAN: One important consideration that must be token into tho aooonnt ia that greenbacks are not receiv able in payment of tho $150,000,000 per annum needed for customs dutios. Even if they are worth as much as gold thoy are still not available for payiug these duties. Those duties must be paid in gold alone. Will not this discrimination againBt them prevent them from rising to a full par with gold? If of two kinds of money ono is available for all imaginable purposes, and ths other available for all purposes but one, and that an important one—will not this distinction make the former ■lightly more desirable and keep tho for mer slightly more valuable than the latter? The Cxntbxl Paorvio.—According to the report of the operations of tho Cen tral Faoilio lioilroad of California for the year 187(1, the gross earnings were $18,- 146,944, and the operative expenses $8,- 732,074 showing the earning over expen ses to have been $11,414,86!). The assets of the road are set down at $185,047,000, $133,000,000 of whiob represents the value of 1,214 miles of traok, with sta tions, siding, wharves, steamers, eto., $.10,000,000 the value of the company's ^auds; $7,494,000 the value of road's equipments, and $7,750,000 tho value of lauds and wator-fronts in San Franeiseo and Saoramento. The capital stock of the company is $54,275,500, and the funded debt $54,457,000. There two dividends paid during the year, amount ing together to $4,343,000. The Constitution is full of arguments, so-called, against the removal of tho oapital. It iB o wonderful wasto of ink Georgia never removed it from Millodgo- ville. l!ullock, Kimball A Co. and the bayonets did that. Georgia simply wants the oapital where she chose to have it, Millodgeville, not where Bullock, K'uibali A Co. chose. THE NORTH * MOUTH R. R. Tho meeting last night held, nnder the auspices of tho municipality of Columbus may bo taken as representing the in terest and feeling of the oity and county. It was largoly nttonded by property own era. The sentiment of this community is to ondoaver to clfoot some arrangement by which the stockholders shall not lose all they havo embarked in tho enterprise. Tbo interest on tho bonds will be a heavy drag for yoars, but it will not do, as long as wo must oarry tbo burdon, to give up the property. Doing so wonld give no reliof to the tax payor. It would ho an sot of insensate foliy. The road ex tended ton to flftoon miles will add much to the husinoss of Columbus; to Atlanta it will be hurtful at lonst for a time and perhaps forever. The meoting author ized tho appointment of Committees in Columbus, this, Harris and Meriwether counties to solioit subscriptions and push the terminus beyond tho mountain. It can he done, it ought to be dono, and we trust thore is sufficient vim, pluck and nerve among the pooplo benefltted to see that it is accomplished. Columbus will be a largo gainor in onhanoed busi ness, and the section desired to be reached benefltted by eBay and cheap market fa cilities. There iB an abundance of money. It remains to bo seen whether it will be applied to seouro desirable ends. A Na poleonic maxim iB, “Tools only to them who know bow to use them,” and it does look as in this oase those who oannot see the gain to their proporty and town ought not to have money, but it should belong to thoBe who advance self-interest by adding to the wonlth of tho country. A full report is given olsowhero of tho meeting. Aotion, not talk, is demanded, and he who does the most is the one who benefits the oountry most. Lot the new oompany be formed without the aid of foroign corpo rations, and tho work be pushed over the mountain that all may reap the advan tages as oarly as possible. NEW YORK.

FERNANIIINA, FLORIDA. This plaoo is now anffcriDg all tho hor rors of tho terrible soonrgo yellow fevor. On Thursday tho doatbB were seven—all whites, and the number of new onsos de veloped fifteen. This ia terrible. Last yoar tho town was visited by a conflagration whioh oreatod groat loss. Tho population is now nbont 2,500, of whom about 1,000 arc oolorod. It is the eastern terminus of tho Jooksonville, Pen sacola and Mobile ltailroad. It is the first time an epidomio has over visited the place since its discovery by tho Spaniards. Now that aflliotion is falling ao heavily npon onr Southern city it bohooves all to oxtend hor people generous aid. Savan nah is doing her dnty nobly. Would it not ho well for tbo authorities of Columbus to telegraph tho enquiry at once whether aid, aud of what oharaoier, ia required of onr pooplo ? If it bo needed the benevo lent should promptly respond. We are at ono ond of a steamboat and rail line, whioh eonnocta spoodily with tho port. From tho books wo loam that Fornan- dina is a port of entry and the oapital of Nnssan county, Florida, situated on tho W. sboro of Amolia island, at the on- tranco of Amolia river, whioh separates it from tbo mainland, into tho Cumberland sound, 160 m. E. by N. of Tallahassee; pop. iu 1870, 1,722, or whom 950 were colored. T ho harbor is land-looked and capaoiou ’, and is unsurpassed on tho At lantic coast S. of Chnsapoako bay. Ves sels drawing 10 or 20 foot of wator oan oross tho bar at high tido, and tho largest Hbips oan unload at tbo wharves. The cli mate,mild in winter and tempered in snm- mor by the Boa breozoB, is vory healthful. In tho vioiuily are numerous sugar, oot- tou, and orango plantations. Tho town, whioh is tho aioat of tho Protestant Epis copal bishoprio of Florida, contains sovon olmrohoB, a yonng ladios’ sominary under tho ohnrgo of tho bishop, and n weekly newspaper. It has an important trado in lnmbor, and possesses a largo cotton-ginning establishment and manu factory of ootton-sood oil. Linos of stoamors to Savnuuah, Charleston, and Now York touob boro. The value of tho foreign oommorco for the yoar ending June 30, 1873, wns $327,859, 52 vosscls of 14,789 tons entered from, and (13 of 22,- 217 tons elenrod for foreign ports; entered in thnoonstwiso trado, 112 stoamors of 77,708 tons, and 105 sailing vessels of 28,493 tons; cleared 110 steamers of 76,- 292 tons, and 106 sailing vessels of 26,021 tons. Feruandina was built by the Spaniards in tho early part of this oentnry, but was of littlo importance un til tho oomplotioo of the Florida railroad, extouding from this point to Cedar Keys. New Youk is doeply aud justly exoited over two tragedies whioh msy bo regard ed as of the romantio order. Amy Faw- sitt, a distiuguised English aotross, came to the United States to win fresh laurels. She died withont a friend near hor in a New York tenement bouse, death, it is afiegod, having been oausod by the brntal treatment of the lodging-house keeper's son. The murder of Catherine Haves, a young girl, by her lover, was still more tragic in its features. Newman, the lover,' had been talking to the girl at the front door of 44 Gouvernor streot, when, in a fit of anger, jealousy, or some other detnoniao passion, he drew a knife and drove it deep into the girl’s neok, tho knife going down toward her heart. Fortunately for the world and hia own oonsoienoe, the oowardly assassin also ended hia own life, in a similar manner, suob crimes send a chill to the heart, and, unfortuuately, they scorn to be growing in freqnenoy. Cii.iiii.EsToN Journal oj Commerce; Tho Eaglo and l’henix mills at Columbna, Ga., have paid four dividends aggregating eight per cont. this year. The oapital stook of those mills is $1,250,000, and the third mill, just boing completed at ■ cost of $500,000, is included iu property, without iucroase of stock. Those mills have tho udvantngo of a water power suf ficient to rnu twenty mills, and, particu larly the last built one, have tho beat ma chinery obtainable in Europe or America. They mafiufaoturo all kinds of* plaids, jeaua, tickings, blankets, ropes, etc., but uo priDts. There are no print mills in the South. New Youk, Sept. 19, 1877. The ootton men here fignro better prices for tbo steplo for Ootober and Novoinhor. Thoso fignres are based npon the visiblo end invisible Rnpply and tho prospective increase of homo consumption. Wo fear the upward move in ootton is only tho working of some temporary Bulls to ona ble them hotter to Bear the market at some future time; at any rate we would not advise further purehssos. The New York ootton men are Bharp and keen. Their favorite operation is to pilo np oot- lon here and bank on it. That is, a strong honse will pnrohaso and store in New York, say 100,090 bales of ootton. Having this large amonnt on band thoy sell futures. Now futuro dealing in ootton is only a speoios of gambling, and ninety, nine bales out of every hundred are not bonght or sold with tho idea of receiving or dolivery. Whon the contraot matures the matter is settled by the diiloronoe in prioe. Thus no cotton is used. These ootton banking men will sell, say 100,000 bales for November. When settlement day oomea, if the differ enoe is not in their favor, thoy deliver the ootton. The buyer, not wanting the ootton, of courso immediately plaoes it on the market for sale. Suob a large offering natnrally depresses the market and the price tumbles and tho deliverer bays his ootton baok at mneb less than ho sold it for, and therefore makes a good turn. Several of the riobest ootton honses jhore are engaged in this banking operation, and have made it a snocess thns far. Some day the other side will organize to reoeive and put away. When they do, wo unto the bankors. This ia tho way the ootton market is controlled—a few men soiling short keep the prices depressed, for thuB far the halls have not had the power or norve to make a successful fight. If onr planters were able to hold a part of their ootton at home, there would be some chance of breaking the liing; bnt they are too poor to do so and will have to bear the burden until better times ar- re. Everybody here is prophesying that in a few monthB greenbacks will be on a par with gold. Why they think so we have never been given a dear reason. We don’t think ao and wonld sooner expeot to Bee gold at 110 than at par. If a few men in Now York should get on “terms" with the U. S. Treasury officials thoy oould easily bring on a gold psnio and turn the ourront the other way, and if it will pay to do bo, we see no reason why the pres ent White House ooenpants won't go in and enrioh themselves, the same as thoir predecessors. All largo cities North have their parks, hut none equal New York. Control Turk ia trnly grand, and the visitors, especially on Saturdays and Sundays are hnndrods of thousands. Each year Central Park improves until now it appears almost por- foot. Nothing that oan add to the com fort and ploriure of tho visitor is missing. Last Sunday tho orowd was immense all tho prinoipal resorts were crowded. It was rare to aoe an unooenpied seat, yet thousands wore promenading or playing npon tho grass. Tho Casino was filled with people oalling for refreshments, and many went away boing nnahlo to seonre the servioes of a waiter. The boats, donkeys, ponieB and goats did a thriving business. Wo had to wait an hour before getting a boat, there being so many tiokets ahead of ours. While Contra! Park iB more than wo oan tell, we confoss, onr weaknoRs is for the BUiallor oity parks, auoh ss Madison, Union and Washington sqn'ares. Here ono can seo and hear with a satisfactory pleasure. Wo frequent Washington Square, whioh is near onr hotel, and which is ono of tho largest in tho oity. Our habit is to dino at 5 r. m. At 6 p. m., we are located in the square, aoores of nurses with hundreds of frolioking chil dren are romping ovor tho paved walks or playing npon the grass. As night ap proaches they gradually disappear until not a half dozen are left. Tho seats are nearly all vacant. The langhing, prattling noise of tho little onos is Bucoeeded by the heavy tramp of men and women passing throngh the park on their way home. Every now and then a saunteter, like onrselves, comes along pnffing a cigar and comfortably sents himself. At 8 o’clook tho soene changes. Squads of girls, apparently 15 to 18 years of sge, five or six linked to gether, appesr. They langh, talk, sky lark and finally we don't know where they are, unless they be the partneis of yonng men who are promenading tb e walks. At 9 o'olock p. m., we stir ourselves, light a freah cigar and make a tonr. Wo find but few walkers, nearly everybody are seated. They are generally in pairs —a male and a fetnalo. Wo surmise tho females to bo the romping g rls of an bonr before, and the males their sweethearts. We investigate them. We oonnt ninety- two couples. With three or four excep tions, they are more or less ondeariag to each other. There’s s ooaple near ns. The girl is talking as fast as she oan. She has her beau's hat in her hands. He leans lovingly towards her. If yon notioe closely he has hold of her hand, squeezing it, no donbt; bnt tho hat is a shield, and everybody don’t Bee what is going on. Another couple ia not far off. The man baa his arms resting on tho rail of the benoh. Evory now and then his arm glides off and eneireles her waist, where it rests for s few seoonds. When you see the girl give hersolf a shako and sweetly says, “Now you, John ny,” the arm finds its way baek upon the rail. The next couple is ■ little boldor ; the arm, instead of being on tho rail, testa on her shoulders. Soon ho draws her affectionately toward him. She stands it for a while, thea says, “Now, do behav* yourself," at the same time giving him a gentle slop. Still bolder is another eon- pie ; be has his arm around her waist while she rests her bead npon hia ahonlder. Others are still more affectionate. lint we tarn from these loving yonng coaples to oar “three or fonr exceptions'' —couples who are no doubt married, aud havo “got over” their loving ways. Wo seated ourselves near a couple. Tho woman looked as though sho would weigh a ton. She sat upright, with arniB foldod, looking like a Chinese Joss. Her partner was a cadovorons lit tle fellow. Uo looked tired, and oame to the Fark to get air and rest. She no donbt accompanied him to see that he did not straggle into a boorfsaloon. We sat noar this couple an honr. Thoy spoko not a word. Perhaps they wero dumb. Another of onr “exceptions" wbb a oonplo of middlo age. The male lookod liko ho had been “drowning hia Borrows,” and his better-half had brought him out to resussitate them. We think she suc ceeded, for she kept up a continuous talk in a low, determined voioe, and he of fered no reply, bnt dejeotedly received her ieoturo as if he was used to it. Poor fellow we sorrowed for him. Gband Pa. The oity of New Orleans probably winbos that Myra Clark Gaines bad been born in St. Petersburg; that she had Btayod in St. P., and that at this moment she might be absorbed in reading ltnssian bulletins ooncsrning the aaptare of Plev na and the bravery and determination of tho army in Tnrkey. This noted woman, having reoovored in tbe courtB her right to control “that portion of land known as the Bisno traot,” hrs written ■ letter of fering to quiet the titles of tho present occupants if the oity will pay her $2,400,- 000 in yearly installments, tbe whole amount to be paid within ten years. She says to the municipal fathers: “The oity oannot bo blind to tbe faot that the portion by me reoovered is one of great value, and withal one of tbe healthiest portions of the oity. Owing to long and protraoted litigation, improvements have not gone forward as iu lees favorable portions. Holders of property very properly would not bnild, consequent ly there is much unimproved land. Now, let the oity have the title quieted by my releasing my claims, and the moment that is done, improvement will certainly take plaoe, and in a very few years tbe taxoB realized by snob improvements will repay the oity the amonnt paid me. In fact, I know of wealthy persona who will build and reside there.” She points out to the Couuoil that the present oooupauts will, if dispossessed, oall upon the oity to reimburse them, and that if the oity shall resist their demands iu the oourts the costs will reaoh $100,000 annually a dreadful speataelo for taxpayers, Such being the situation Bhe advises peaoe all around, whioh oan bo had for the trifling sum—seorooly worth mentioning—of $2,- 400,000. The Council has not yet aoted, aud more yoars of litigation—not. with Myra, but with thoso who have been oocupying her proporty—may be in store for tho impoverished oity, whose dollars aro just now fewer than its prospeots. The roport of the English Foreign Bondholders’ Gonnoil Bhows that on Feb ruary of this yoar thore wore soventeon sovereign StatoB whose bonds had boon sold in London ond whioh had defaulted interest. They mado an aggregate un redeemed debt of $1,485,000,000, besides interest ovorduo amounting to $190,000,- 000. In all the dobt is over $1,000,000,- 000.

VEGETINE Does not deceive Invalids Into false hopes by purging ami creating a fictitious appetite, but assiBtB nnturo In clearing and purifying the wholo system, loading the patient gradually to porfect health. VEGETINE Was looked upon as an experiment for somo time by some of our best physicians, but those most Incredulous in regard to its morlts are now Its most ardont friends and supporters. VEGETINE, Instead of being a puffed-up medicine, bas worked its way up to its present astonishing sucooss by actual merit in curing all diseases of tho blood, of whatever nature. VEGETINE, Says a Boston physician, “Has no equal as a blood purifier. Hearing ol its many wondor- (ul cures, after all other remedies had failed, I visited tho laboratory, and oonvinoed myself of Its genuino merit. It Is prepared from barks, roots and herbs, each of which Is highly olloctive; and they aro compounded in such a mannor as to produce astonishing results.” VEGETINE Is acknowledged and rocommended by physl- olans and apothecaries to be the best purifier and cloansor of the blood yet discovered, and thousands speak in Its praise who have been restored to health.

Having boon badly afflicted with Salt Bheum, and the whole surraoe of my skin being cover ed wlUi pimples and oruptlons, many of which caused mo groat pain and annoyanee, and knowing it to be a blood disease, I took many of the advertised blood preparations, among wktcD was any quantity of Sarsaparilla, with out obtaining any benefit until 1 commenced taking the Vkgktink; and before I had com pleted the flrst bottle I saw that 1 had got the right medicine. Consequently I followed on with it until I had taken seven bottles, when I was pronounced a well man ; and my skin Is smooth and entirely free from pimples and eruptions.
