No
Spoolal to Enquirer-Sun.]
London, Ootober 2.—The Mark Lane
Express' weekly review of the British
oorn trade says tho weather during the
past week was very line. Appearances
favor an early and severe winter. The
cold is general over Europe. A fortnight
almost free from rain bus enablod good
progress with tho harvest in the North.
Tho event of the week has been a largo
shipment of wheat from Atlantio ports.
Tho immediate effect has been a sudden
oheck,trade buyors holding off for the mo
ment, but whether this is reasonable in
the presont position and prospects of
trade is open to question. It is abso
lutely evident that wo shall not receive
tho supplies wo reckoned ou from some
quarters. India and Egypt will not do
half that was expected. As winter comes
on the supplies from Russia will bo cut
off. There remains little to look for ex
cept from tho Atlantic ports, and with
winter before us and the consumption of
the country is mainly in these wheats. It
is hard to believe that the autumn ship*
meats can be more than we need nt the
moment when this little panic is on, and
the liberal shipments of one or two
weeks are imagined to be more than
the trade oon stand. It may be well to
suggest that these shipments are not un
precedented, and to recall the fact that
in August 1874, and 1875, they wore at
the rate of 150,000 quarters per woqk.
Surely this year, when we are thrown al
most "entirely on this sourco of supply for
tho winter, the trade should not be shaken
by shipments no larger than in former
years when our wants wore less, and
sources of supply wore open, which are
now closed.
In forming a judgment of future ship
ments, there are other facts also to be
noted. Tho liberal shipments this month
have not been effected without driving
prices up on the other side. A change
has evidently oome ovor shippers since
they were so eager to sell at low prices.
Re-sales have been mode hero daily at
abont 53 shillings to 54 shillings per
quarter for winter red, and 51 shillings
to 52 shillings for spring ; bnt prices in
New York and Baltimore are relatively
qnito above these quotations. This cer
tainly does not point to any extraordinary
shipments this autumn from the Atlantio
ports. Any depression caused by this
foar will probably be temporary.

ITS HISTORY SKETCHED BY HON. H. B TAYNE
—A MEMBEB—BILL WOULD NEVER HAVE
PASSED HAD NOT THE DEMOCRATS THOUGHT
JUDOE DAVIS WAS OERTAIN OF SELECTION.
Hon. H. B. Payne, in his opening
speech in the Ohio oampnign is thns re
ported :
TIIE ELECTORAL COMMISSION.
Mr. Payno then gavo a history of tho
creation of the Electoral Commission, and
said : As certain members of tho Electo
ral Commission, and oertain of tho distin
guished oounsel who appeared bofore it,
have freely criticised its notion and dis-
cussod the morits of its decisions, it is
not inappropriate for me, on this first ap-
poarauco of mine bofore tho poople of
Ohio since my return from Washington,
to relate my r experience and publish my
views respecting that most remarkable
drama. I learn, too, that among the
Democrats there exists some misappre
hension ns to the motives and considera
tions which induced the creation of tho
Commission, nud tho hope is indulged
that a brief narrative from ono who was
present, an a witness, as an aotor, from
the conception to the final consummation
and who has no cause or inclination to
conceal or withhold any faot or occur
rence, will dispel nil doubts and suspic
ions as to the fidelity nud eonrage of the
Democratic members and Senators.
Let me recall tho situation. The
exoitoment of tbe election had
been prolonged, and was intense. The
House was Democratic, the Senate Re
publican. Each claimed that its candi
date had heeu elected. Ench thoroughly
understood its own position, its strong
and its weak points. Nover did it under
estimate the tact and resonreos of its op
ponents. Tho returns, single and dupli*
cate, wore in tbo actual custody of the
President of tho Senate, and he wns
ready to count or dispose of them at such
time and in such inunnor as his party
friend, in canons might direct. The
twenty* seoond joint rule, under which a
Presidential count has been determined,
and whioh enabled either houso by its
dissent to rejoot tho vote of a State, had
been abrogated on tho part of tho Senate.
Tho Morton bill of tho previous session,
whioh substantially grouted to either
honRe tho same power, had boon
onriously but unintentionally sus
pended by a motion to rooon'
aider. The Edmnnds proposition t<
snbmit tho contested oases to tho
Supreme Court had signally foiled. There
was manifestly no recourse but to ono of
the two following methods : Congress
mast by law create a tribunal for tho trial
of tho contesting cases, or matters must
be left to work out some possible result.
In tho absence of legislation, there was no
doubt what tho aotion of the President of
tho Senate would bo. Though many of
his own party questioned and even denied
his right to count tho votes, yet, if no
other way wns provided to avoid confusion
and anarchy, tho entire body of Republi
cans, excepting perhaps three or four,
would havo justified nnd sustained the
aotion of tho President. He wns under
no legal obligation to go to tho hall of the
House, when tho IIouso would havo boon
protected in tho demand of its equal
rights, but first inviting tho attendance of
tho House in the Sonato ohamhor, lie
would, protected by its police, have open*,
ed the returns, counted tho votes, and
declared Hayes elected, and
the House would havo been
utterly helpless in tho promises. It oonld
have returned to its own hall, and pre
ceded to vote by States, and elected Til-
don; bnt this would havo boon revolution
ary and futile, inasmuch as tho contin
gency providod in tbo Constitution for
snob action had not occurred. The crea
tion of a tribunal, tboroforo, for tho
peaceful and orderly settlement of tho
controversy, was the dictates of duty and
patriotism, no less than of sound policy
and political expediency. Tho proposition
to raiso a committee of conference origi
nated, not in tho Sonato, but in tho
House, and with a Republican member.
Eaoh committeoo matured its plan, nnd
then submitted it to the joint meeting.
That of the House committee, drafted
by Mr. McCrary, the present Secretary of
War, and unanimously approved, pro
posed n tribunal to consist of tho five
senior Associate Justices of tho Supremo
Court, and to snbmit to it without re
serve all tho papers and evidence in tho
possession of tho President ot tho Sonato,
or eithor of tho housos of Congress
with power to take such additional
testimony ns they should doom necessary.
Theplau of tho Senate Committee was a
tribunal to consist of four justices and
nine members of Congross, five to be
chosen by each Houso nnd one of them to
bo cast ont by lot, and the submission of
the pnpors and testimony under severe re
strictions. I need not detail the long
struggles between tbe committee, the
agreement to tbo ten members of Con
gress equally divided between tho houses
and the two parties, their inability to
agree upon tho fifth justice, wo offering
to accept Mr. Davis nnd they offering to
take SWayno nnd Miller and give us Clif
ford and Davis, our insisting upon Clif
ford and Field, and tboir finally assent
ing to that, but on condition that they
might drop Swayne, and take Millor and
Strong.
Tho Democratic members of the two
committees assented to this measure,with
the full belief and expectation that Judgo
Davis would be appointed tho fifteenth
member, as umpire. He was tho sonior
of tho remaining associates, nnd was the
only one qualified by freedom from parti
san bias, whioh, together with his learn
ing and unsullied integrity, omiuoutly
fitted him for the place; and whon, in ad
dition to all this, two of tho four asso
ciates were Demoora»s, it was not strange
that wo woro all confident that no one
elso than Judgo Davis would in any
event bo placod ou tho Commission; and
I fool warranted in affirming that had it
boon probable that Judgo Bradley or
either of tho other Judgos would havo
been appointed to a seat on that tribunal,
that electoral bill would never have
been reported to tho two llousos, or
onaotod into a law. Tho selocton
of Judgo Davis was anticipated and
oxpeoted by both parties in Congress nnd
by tho country at large. It is hut justice
to Mosers. Clifford and Field to make
public the fact that at tho first mooting of
the four Justices they votod for Judge
Davis, and persisted in so doing, though
Judge Strong assured thorn that Judge
Davis would not accept, and it was only
at the mooting on tho following day whon
Mr. Strong presented a written comtuuni
cation from .Judge Davis, peremptorily
declining tho position, that they reluc
tantly voted for Judgo Bradley. Various
reasons have boeu assigned for Judge
DaviR* declining this great public duty.
Senator Matthews attribntos it to tho
interforonco of Providence, in enusing
hiiu iu the meantime to bo elected to the
United Statos Senate. It is difficult to
porcoivo bow his elootion to nn offico, tho
term of whioh would not oommonco until
tho labors of the Commission were olosod,
could possibly conflict with his discharg
ing his duties 'as Commissioner. Possi
bly the persistent opposition of tho Sen
ate, implying distrust or fear of his im
partiality, may have influenced his de
cision. However that may be, bis re
fusal to nerve was tbe occasion of profound
disappointment and deep and bitter re
gret. While no man, ho far as I know, is
authorized to say what his final opinion
would have been after boaring tho casos,
yet the Democratic party and tbo whole
country would havo accopted bis decis
ion as tbat of an upright, learned nnd
fearless judge, aud would have respected
it accordingly.
The speaker then gave a history of tho
Florida case, characterizing tho aotion of
the Ropnblioan members of tho com mis
sion as a fraud. He spoke in somo plain
terms of their aotion in tho Louisiana

hakes’ southern policy—gen. Toombs’
views on the subject.
Baltimore Sun.]
Hon. Robert Toombs, of Georgia, is in
Baltimore, at Barnum's, having come hero
to consult Dr. Chisolm in reference to his
eye. Mr. Toombs is now considerably
Advanced iu years,though retaining all tbe
vigor and bearing of earlier manhood.
He was subject to groat strain during tbe
Georgia Coustitutioifhl Convention, which
adjourned the last of August, after a ses
sion of two mouths. Mr. Toombs was
tho author of nearly all the prominent
features of the new Constitution, which
is to bo submitted for ratification iu that
State.
In conversation Mr. Toombs said ho
was snrprised to see that Rescue Conk
ling’s right baud had forgot its cunning.
It was a happy mistnko for tho South,
however, bh Mr. Hayes would in conso-
quonoe be emboldened iu tho pursuit of
his Southern policy. This is tho oppor
tunity for the Sonth, and ho might add
that the “lost oanso is won.” lie did
not support Tilden, bnt bad Tilden boon
President instead of Hayes the Southorn
policy would bring ont an organized op'
position that would dofer its practical
workings for years. A constant roador
of the Baltimore Sun for tho last thirty
years, Mr. Toombs said he was glad to
find that tho wisdom aud sagacity whioh
had always characterized its course to
wards tho Sonth was now judiciously
given to tbo snpport of the Southern poli
cy of Mr. Hayes. There can bo but one
of two results from this policy. If Hayos
doeiovoR the South ho will split his own
party, and if ho snccoods in establishing
his Southern policy ho will moroly be the
providential instrument of carrying out
Democratic principles. Mr. Hayes, after
leaving tho North, must havo been aston
ished to fiud an •absence of office RookerB
in tho South. Iu Georgia you could not
find a Southern man who would give his
time to Foderal office. They are perfect
ly willing to leave tho offices to those who
may bo found to fill them.
Mr. Toombs said ho had declined an
invitation to spook in Baltimore princi
pally on acconnt of his ultra conceptions
of the principles of Democracy, hut tbat
ho would nrgo Mr. Aloxaudor II. Steph
ens, now here, who is a moderator in
views to accept an invitatiou to address
tho peoplo of Baltimore. Mr. Toombs
leaves for Now York ou business, and on
bis return next week may stop ovor at
Washington to seo tbe President nnd
somo Southorn Representatives. IIo snys
the Prosidont should be warned against a
class of persons who, on representation,
might seok to secure Southern pntronnge.
Hon. Alex. H. Stephens, of Goorgia,
who arrived in Baltimore a day or two
ago, is ou a visit for a few days to Col.
R. M. Johnson,his friend nnd biographer,
at Pen Lucy, in Baltimore county. Mr.
Stephens is much improved in health, and
travels with very little inconvenience. He

THE REV. DR. MULLER TELLING MORE ABOUT
THE WONDERS OF HIH WORK IN URIH-
TOL.
Tho Rev. Dr. George Muller enter
tained another large audience in Plymouth
Church last ovening with a continuation
of tho narrative of tho manner in which
he raisod nearly $4,000,000 through
prayer to God for tho support of the or
phan aud charitable institutions in Bris
tol, Eng. He said that ho thought no
more of asking tho Lord for a million
dollars now than ho did for the first thir
ty dollars that he obtained when he began
his work forty years ago. When ho had
invested $7(5,000 in buildings, so many
orphans came that an additional building
fund of $250,000 was needed, and tho
money was forthwith procured through
prayer. Subsequently u third building
fund of $310,000 was required and pro
cured by tho same means. Tho Rov. Dr.
Muller always had tho money in hand
boforo he signed the contract with a mas
ter builder for tbo work. There aro
now five large ediftcoH devoted to tho
charitable institutions at Bristol. Said
Mr. Muller:
“The money raised does not represent
all that has been procured by the means
of praying to my Hoavenly Father. It
was through prayer and faith that Chris
tian raon and women were procured to act
as teachers and helpors to take care of
the orphans, At one time five hundred
and twenty six children iu tho asylum
were sick, and then it required faith ami
patienco to do well and faithfully the task
of caring for so many littlo invalids.”
At the close of tho narra’ivo tho Rev.
Dr. Muller read somo letters which he had
just received from the orphans in Bristol,
congratulating him on his seventy-second
birthday.

CIRCUIT JUDGE J. Q. SMITH DECIDES TnE
NEW ALABAMA LAW REGARDING TIIE KILL
ING OF CATTLE UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Montgomery Advertiser,]
Lust week in tho Circuit Court of El
more, Judge J. Q. Smith presiding, nn
important decision was rendered a fl eeting
tho rights of ownors of cattle killed by
railroad trains. At its last session the
Legislature passed an act which made tho
railroad oompanios liable for onttlo killed,
whothor they woro in fault or not; whom-
ns under tho old law tho railroads wore
liable only wbou tho killing was the re
suit of nogligoneo. Mrs. Zoiglor brought
suit against the Sonth and North Alnhnmn
Railroad Compnny, under tho now lnw,
aud tho counsel for tho railroad company
attacked tho now law as unconstitutional.
Tho grounds on whioh tho stututo was
nttnckod woro as follows :
1. Tbo act impairod the corporate frail
chise, given by the act of incorporation
or ohartor, boenuso undor protonco of
regulating tbo business, tho act in effect
impoBod such terms in carrying it on, as
virtually to impair tho value of tho char
torod rights; and was therefore violative
of tho Constitution of the United States.
2. Tho act singled out aud wado an
odious discrimination against railroad
corporations—making them alono liable
for injurios occurring without fault on
their part, while iu tho prosecution of
thoir lawful business, while no other class
of corporations or persons iu tho wholo
Stato woro liable for anything done in tho
lawful prosecution of their business, oven
if injury resultod therefrom—unions guilty
of negligence or broach of duty.
3. That as to tho rights given by tho
ohartor, and tho means neoessary to enjoy
them, tho corporation had tho samo right
to appear and defend in the courts, ns an
individual ; yot this net forbid a defonco
which was open to all other porsons or
corporations in this State, when sued for
similar injurios.
4. The act wns not “duo proooRS of
law,” as it in effect made tho ostimato of
throo disinterested citizens of tho value of
tho cattle killed, conclusive upon the rail
road company, whoroas tho railroad
company had a rigl t, nnc’or tl o
Constitution, to havo that mat tor deter
mined by a jury.
5. That the act gavo exclusive privi
leges to ownors of stock, not enjoyed by
any other persons or classes, undor simi
lar circumstances, in casos of injury to
person or property ; that while in a suit
for killing a oow, tho want of nogligoneo
was no defense, yet when n man was kill
ed, or any othor kind of property injured,
want of negligence on tho part of tho rail
road was a good defonso.
(5. That tho act, in effect, denied
railroad corporations tho equal protection
of tho law; mudo odious discriminations
against corporations; gave exclusive priv
ileges to a particular class of citizens not
aocnrdcd to any other; and impaired the
obligation of the contract made in tho
charter.
Judgo Smith hold that tho act was plain
ly unconstitutional. This loaves tho Us
ability of railroad companies, in tho
courts ovor which Judgo Smith presides,
to stand on tho old law, whioh made them
liable only whero thoro was negligence.
This case wus nppoalod to tho Snprome
Court.
A very pioturesquo story is told of tho
White Sulphur Springs correspondent of
the Courier-Journal regarding tho widow
of Governor Pickens, of South Carolina.
“Sho was very much grioved,” says this
correspondent calmly, “as a nowspapor
article concerning hersolf, which spoke of
her accepting Governor Pickens on cons
ditiou that ho obtained a foroigii mission.
She said that it seomod so mercenary and
calculating in n girl of eighteen. Tho
truth was that she was nn only child,
nnd tho mission to Uussin wns the
mother's objection to tho marriage.
Governor Pickons was rejected, and had
taken his passago for Europe. Ho wroto
a farowoll to his lady lovo, but boforo
concluding said it was not too late for
her to change her mind, for if sho would
tolograph him aftor receiving the lotter,
and accept hiH proposals, ho would moot
her in New Orleans and let tho steamer
sail withont him. Sho did accept and
a few weeks afterward they sailed to
gether os man and wife. The marriage
proved happy, nothing but tho war in
terrupting (he course of true lovo. Gov
ernor nnd Mrs. Pickens returned to South
Carolina about tho time that State so-
ceded. During thoir residence in Europe
they had made many purchases of pic
tures, statuary, furniture, raro laces and
jewels. Those arrived at tho port of Now
York, iu a Railing vessel, a month aftor
thoir arrival. Everything was confiscated.
Among tho articlos woro busts of the
Govornor and wifo, by Powers. A New
York gentleman purchased those at tho
sale, and, after the war was over, sent
thorn to the ownors in Sonth Carolina.”
—Daniel O’ConnoU's translation of tho
Pagan maxim of De mortuis nil nisi bo-
ntnn was, “When a damned rogue dios,
lot’s bemoan him.” A loss profano ren
dering is this, “Of the dead there is no*»
thing left but a bone."
