Jmntlay %nqmvtv. lOLlIKBlS, GEORGIA: SUNDAY OCTOBER 7, 1877. SALISBURY (St CO., - Proprietors. Queen Victoeia’s allowance last year was $3,033,545, and the Prince "of Wales’ was $200,000. — m — At St. Jolms, Fla., a three hundred pound shark was caught by tying a hook to a rope, and the rope to a tight barrel. Tue Colorado election occurred on Tuesday. Returns are incomplete, and the general result is not yet known. The proposition to enfranchise women, how ever, is known to have been defeated. When a reporter asked the new Senator from Missouri if he expected to be the same old De mocrat in the Senate, that eminent gentleman said: ‘‘You bet.” And yet they say he doesn’t fairly repre sent Missouri. Goveenor Tom Young, of Ohio, thinks the Republicans will carry that State by “five or tc-n thousand majority. Gov ernor Tom should be careful how he talks, for is it not recorded that the Re publicans predicted they would carry Ohio last year by 30,000 majority and they came out with 2,747? A Louisiana paper urges John H. Rea gan, of Texas, for the Speakership. He was Postmaster General of the Confeder acy. We are moving fast.—[New York Times, llep. j How would you like to have a little Confederate postage stamp— just to look at?—Courier-Journal. At a recent ratification meeting in Bal timore, William Pinckney Whyte, Demo cratic Senator from Maryland, declared he would * ‘j oin in no crusade of discontent ed Republicans to make war on the Pres ident,” and that “no factious Republican opposition should find aid among South- ern Democrats.” The New Orleans Democrat estimates that the visit of the Sioux chiefs to Wash ington will foot up $50,000, and remarks that we cannot afford such costly luxuries as have been incurred in this interchange of courtesies with ye gentle savage. Fif ty thousand dollars is a pretty big pile to pay for a pow-wow which will likely end, ’ as it generally does, in smoke. London gossip, referring to Mr. Cal- craft's appointment as editor of the Times, says some idea of the salaries paid by the Times may be formed from the fact that for one leader daily, in which he followed while he seemed to lead pub lic opinion, Mr. Sterling was paid 2,000 guineas a year, with a share in the paper. The clear profits were then estimated at A'45,000 per annum. GEORGIA NEWS. —Dr. Joseph Jobes of Twiggs county is dead. —Mr. Lee Thornton's gin house in Ter rell county is burned. No. 5. —The Cutbber?

Three colored men stepped his horse and took him out of the buggy in the woods, where they robbed him of forty cents, and took off bis shoes and socks iD quest of more money. The vil lains have not been apprehended. —A colored roan styling himself as teacher arid doctor to the colored people near Marietta a short time ago, stated that President Hayes had sent him among them to teach children and doctor their "families, and that for one dollar for each child to buy the books he would get them and begin school. The teacher-doctor re ceived fifty dollars and left to perpetrate a fraud on another community. —J. Morie Mitchell and Abram Mitch ell, the parties charged with kidnapping a while man named Louis W. Smith, in Augusta, were arrested Friday morning, and in default of one thousand dollars bail each, were committed to jail by Judge Snead, to await a preliminary in vestigation next Monday. The Mitch ells, it will be recollected, were tried in Aiken on the 28th ult. on the charge of assault and battery, and sentenced to pay a fine of five dollars each or be impris oned for five days. —Brunswick Advertiser : Rumor has it that Judge Felix McCarthy, of the County Court, left here recently not to return, there being five true bills found against him at last court, for some of which he is now under bonds. From the same source we learn, also, that be car ried with him some $250 of money that had been paid into his court awaitiDg legal decision. His bondsmen would like to have the question answered—will he return ? —At the May term of Glynn Superio r Court, His Honor Judge John L. Harris, granted an order of court making the mandamus nisi mandamus absolute in the case of Geo. A. Dare vs. the Mayor and Council of the city of Brunswick, oompeiiing the city authorities to levy a tax to pay off certain judgments which the petitioner for mandamus had previ ously obtained in the County Court on city coupons The attorneys for the city excepted to His Honor’s ruling in making the mandamas absolute, and carried the same by writ of error to the Supreme Court. Last week the case was argued in the Supreme Court, and the decision of the court below over ruled and reversed.

COLUMBUS SUNDAY ENQUIRER: SUNDAY MORNING^OCTOBER^T^J^^ WATT * WALKER, A "NT) RETAIL Congressman Weight, of Wilkesbarre, has something like ten thousand signers to his petition for a bill authorizing the government to send workingmen West, giving each man a farm and lending him five hundred dollars on a mortgage upon it. It would require only five millions in cash, besides the land, to provide for these ten thousand, and that's a modest thiDg to ask in these hard times. There’s cheek in this. Ex-Govebnoe Walker, of Virginia, at the request of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce, has delivered an address in that city before a large and intelligent audience on the subject of the State debt. He took the ground that the debt had been honestly contracted, and that Vir- ginia s interest, as well as honor, de' manded it should be paid : the only hope of future prosperity being in the preser vation of her credit, and thereby encour aging the incoming of foreign capital. —m A REsftiENT of Orange county, Va., be longed to a Florida regiment during the war. He was wounded in one of the numerous battles fought in that part of Virginia. The surgeon told him he could never recover the use of his leg. “Then,’’ said he, “I shall never leave this battle field.” And he has kept his word. A traveller lately saw his crutch standing at his cabin door as the cars went by. His tobacco lot was pointed out, and the in formation given that he has a little fac tory where be makes chewing and smok ing tobacco. The first official returns under the Mof fat Register Liquor law in Richmond for seventeen days in September show the number of malt drinks sold in that city during that time was 135,550, and the number of spirituous drinks nearly 120,000. The tax thereon amounts to $3,850. Taking this as an average, the aggregate amount for the year, including the other sources of liquor revenue, would be $102,640. Richmond has heretofore paid about one- fifth of the liquor revenue of the State, and, if such is the case now, the total an nual liquor revenue of the State would be about $500,000. De. McCosh, of Princeton, has been getting himself into hot water, the result of some remarks which he made at the Edinburgh council upon the subjeot of preaching. The Doctor is accused of drawing a comparison unfavorable to the latter between the preachers of Great Britian and America. This he positively denies in a letter recently published in the Scottish-American Journal, affirming that he did no such thing, that he simply insisted, as he has done repeatedly on the importance of Biblical preaching in pref* erence to mere intellectual dissertations. Dr. McCosh is right enough. There is a run upon intellectual dissertation preach ers at present, and the mere plain, simple preacher of gospel sermons is left out in the cold. People go to admire the man, his cleverness, rhetoric, reading smart ness, and not for the purpose of seeking salvation, or benefitting their immortal souls. The Peabody Fund.—Dr. Sears, in bis report to the trustees at the late meeting, reviewed the work of the last ten years, and compared the present state of popu lar education in the Southern States with its condition when the board entered upon the duties of its trusts. In Virginia the amount furnished from the Peabody Fund for the past year was $18,250; dur ing the past ten years, $201,250. The amount awarded to North Carolina for the past year was $4,900; duriDg the past ten years, $81,600. South Carolina last year received $4,300; during ten years, $27,650. Georgia last year received $4,000, and $71,000 in all. Florida last year received $6,500, and in ten years, $48,450. Alabama received in ten years $55,440. Mississippi, $58,575. To Lou isiana $55,578 has been given. Texas has received $18,600 from the fund; Ar kansas, $60,600; Tennessee, $191,850; jud West Virginia, $107,710. WASHINGTON. PARTICULARS OF THE STRANDING. Providence, R I., Oct. 6.—The pas sengers of the stranded steamer Massa chusetts arrived at Stonington at mid night. Providence, R. I., October 6.—The officers ot the Massachusetts, remain on or near the stranded steamer. The pas- sengeis however, agree pretty well upon the following story : The Massachusetts left New York at five o’clock Thursday afternoon, with one hundred and fifty passengers,and a large freight. The day was stormy, and the violence of the storm increased as the boat went down the sound. By eleven o’clock, a terrible gale was blowing. It was reported the Cap tain said he had lost his lights. The fog was so thick nothing could be seen, and the whistle was blowing incessantly. About half-past eleven o’clock, the en gines were stopped a few minutes, then the boat went ahead slowly for a few moments, and then the engine stopped. In half a minute more, there was a terri ble crash, quickly followed by two more. Some passengers were thrown from their berths by shocks. The terribly frighten- ened people, poured out their state rooms. In a few minutes almost every pas senger had on a life preserver and was a waiting for the worst. It was so dark absolutely nothing could be seen. The wind howled fo that con versation was almost inandable, while above all was the incessant thump and sound of heavy grinding, which ail knew was eating out the bottom of the boat. The gilding on the state rooms began to fall down, and in some of the state rooms the berths even fell to the floor, so much was the boat spread. The ropes which held the chandeliers in the main saloon had snapped like pipe stems, and pieces of the side of the boat had been broken away. The water was rising on the fore castle, and the deck hands set to work to lighten the boat. Overboard went cotton, flour, whiskey and sugar, until at least half the cargo was in the Bea. The other half was kept into balance in the boat. Thus the night wore away, and it was a night which the passengers will not soon forget. YELLOW FEVER AT FERN AN HINA DISPATCH FROM DR. FCGARTY. Baldwin, Fla., October 6, 1877.— Father John: I arrived here well, but too late to meet train leaving this point, and cannot leave until to-morrow. _ The fever is no better—several critically sick, one death, and six new cases. The Cath olic priest and Sisters of Mercy are im proving. The money and provisions are nearly all absorbed. See if all the de nominations cannot follow yonr exertions to-morrow. Furnish this call to both pa pers. Remit all collections to S. T. Rid dle, Mayor. Will send particulars to*, morrow after arrival. N. J. Fogarty, M. D. AT PORT ROYAL. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] Augusta, Ga., October 6.—Three new cases of yellow’ fever at Port Royal to day. There are forty cases in all so far. AT FERNANDINA. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] Jacksonville, October 6.—Two yellow fever deaths at Fernandina and six new Triennial Episcopal Convention. Boston, October 6.—The exercises of the Triennial Episcopal Convention were continned to day, only a morning session being held. Among the delegates who appeared for the first time to-day was Chief Justice Waite, of Ohio. The President of the House of Depu ties introduced Rev. Mr. Tait, Secretary to the Archbishop of Canterbury, who is the only representative of the English Church present at the Convention. Mr. Tait made a few remarks, saying that the English Church was in full sympathy with the Church in this country. When he finished a resolution was passed that the House of Depnties had heard Mr. Tait with great gratification. Hon. Hemi ton Fish, del* gate from New York, was added (o the Committee on Amendments to the Constitution. Tne proceedings of the Convention to day were mainly confined to preliminary motions. No results were reached. Trunk Line Agreement. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] New York, Oct. 6.—Details of the Trunk Railroad meeting has not trans pired. The agreement was drawn up to-day and signed by every represents^ tive. The present rates have not been changed, but will be strictly adhered to. As a representative of one of the promi nent Western roads remarked, “We have all signed a document, agreeing to be honest, and endeavor to earn guineas for our road, instead of outting each other’s throats.” SPECULATIONS CONCERNING THE HOUSE OFFICERS. Washington, October 6.—The town is filling rapidly, and there are some fifteen headquarters. There is more discussion than business, yet owing to failure from travel. Caldwell’s friends here are sanguine that he will be clerk. Col. Blackburn, who is well up in the manual and apt with the gavel is not out of the ring for Speaker. The true indica tions, however, are that the old officers will retain their places, Clerk Adams is in the most danger. Doorkeeper Pater son is not entirely safe. A change in this office gives the plaee to Wedderburn, which may oust Stewart from the post- office, as both these gentlemen are from Virginia, and Stewart has made a most genial postmaster. Capt. Amos B. Car- win, a Mexican soldier under Jefferson Davis, is a candidate for postmaster. SPEAKERSHIP race. The Star says: There is nothing of interest to report about the Speakership race to-day. Members arrive slowly, and it will be the middle of next week before any very accurate estimate of the strength of aDy of the candidates can be arrived at. bullock’s OLD FRIEND INVITED OCT. The Star, also, has the following ditty of other days : Col. Lewis Porter, assist ant postmaster of Washington * city, has been removed, or rather he has resigned, in accordance with an intimation that such action would be acceptable to the authorities. It appears that certain tes timony adduced before a committee of the Forty-second Congress reflected upon certain business operations of Porter in connection with ex-Governor Bollock, of Georgia. Judge Key invited the attention of Judge Edmunds to the record, and Ed munds requested Porter to Btep down and out, and he did. Patterson’s case. Senator Patterson yesterday avoided arrest, and showed the lawyers to-day he had all set to postpone a habeas corpus hearing until two days after Congress meets, when it is thought Patterson, as Senator, will be beyond the reach of the requisition. Patterson was enlarged in $2,500 bail. trains south. There has been some delay benoe south from the recent storms. Repairs are completed, and through sleepers to New Orleans by the Kennesaw and Virginia Midland Route are restored. SENATOR PATTERSON. ARRESTED AND RELEASED ON BOND—HEAR ING POSTPONED TO THE 17TH. Washington, October 6.—Chief Justioe Carter having, last night, issued a war rant on the requisition of the Governor of South Carolina for the arrest of Sena tor J. J. Patterson, a visit was soon there' after made to the residence of the Senator by the marshal, when it was ascertained that the Senator was not at home. His counsel, Messrs. Shellabarger, Wilson, Cook and Charles Pelham, attorneys of this city, however, knew of his where abouts, and accordingly prepared a peti tion for a writ of habeas corpus in ad vance of the service of the writ for his arrest by the marshal. When all the pre liminaries for the petition of a writ of habeas corpus were completed, the mar shal was informed of the locality of the Senator, whereupon the arrest was made by him, and immediately thereafter conn sel applied to Judge Humphreys for a writ of habeas corpus, the petition being based on the following grounds : First—That Senator Patterson was reg ularly elected a Senator of the United States in 1872 and shortly after came to the District of Columbia, and has re mained here in the discharge of his du ties ; that during the interval from that period to the present he has visited South Carolina several times, but that he has committed no crime in the State, and that he has continued to reside here tem porarily as a Senator, and, therefore, it cannot be said, in the terms of the requi sition, that he is a fugitive from justice, Second—The term of the court at which the indictment was found was not the regular term of the court. It was not held at the time and place authorized by law, and consequently the finding is of no validity, and the indictmeht on which the requisition was forwarded is void. Judge Humphreys issued the writ of habeas corpus addressed to the coroner, who served it on the Marshal demanding that he prodnee the body of Senator Pat terson. The marshal in obedience to the writ, did so. There was present among athers Mr. Riohbourg, agent for the State of Sooth Carolina who brought hither the requisi tion for Senator Patterson, who is charged with the crimes of conspiracy to bribe members of the General Assembly and counseling and procuring Miles G. Parker to commit grand larceny, etc. As it was now five o’clock in the afternoon and too late to proceed with the case, it was stated by Judge Humphreys that ow ing to bis duties in court, he could Dot hear until Wednesday. Mr. Richbonrg asked that the hearing be postponed until Thursday, also as to allow time for the arrival of the Attorney General of South Carolina. To this the Judge could not accede, owing to the pressure of other business on that day, and the remainder of the week. The resnlt of the conference was a postponement until the 17th inst., or two days after the meeting of the extra session of Congress. Senator Patterson gave bail for his ap pearance at that time in the sum of $2,500, Ivery G. Kimball becoming his surety. The case having been postponed to the time stated, will afford the Senate an oportunity to disenss the rights of one of its members, and decide whether or not he is privileged from arrest under the protective dense of the Constitution of the United States. Arrest of Congressman Smalls. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] Columbia, October 6. —Congressman Smalls was brought here to-day, under arrest by order of the Investigating Com mittee, for accepting bribes as member of the South Carolina Senate, was released until Monday on $5,000. Ex-Treasnrer Cardozo is still in jail. No attempt at habeas corpus has been made. Mexican Mob Seises Texas Towns. Galveston, October 6.—The News publishes the following special: Fort Davis, October 6.—A Mexican mob, 400 strong, took possession of the towns of Gsleta and San Elizano. The Texas county officials are prisoners in the hands of an infuriated rabble, and their cry is “Death to Gringos! ” “VivaMex ico ! ” Letters received to-day at Fort Davis state that the Mexicans, in large numbers, have captured and hold in custody all officers of the El Paso Company. The lives of all white men are threatened. There is no troops on the frontier and a horrible massacre is pre-eminent. Judge Charles H. Howard is a prisoner and bonnd with ropes. Lost Mail Bag Found. Portland, Maine, October 6.—A mail bsg which contained the regular mail from Mon’rea 1 , south and’ southwest on February 6th lost, was to-day found concealed in a shed near the Grand Trunk Railway station. It contained only a few papers, dated February 6th, 1877 and had evidently been stolen from the mail oar, the letters carried off aud the bag con cealed. r General Sherman. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] San Fbanci8co, October 6.—General Sherman and staff have arrived overland from Portland. 4 Tweediam. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] New York, October 6.—Tweed’s exam ination was continned to-day to Tweed- iousness. THE TURKO-RUSSIAN WAR. FIGHTING BEFORE KARS—RUSSIAN ACCOUNT. London, Oct. 6.—The Daily News ' correspondent with General Meiekoff s army, telegraphing from Raserechens, Thursday, says : At three o’clock this afternoon, the Russians were surrounding Kizli Tipi, when Mukhtar Pasha, desper ate at seeing «his communications with Kars threatened, advanced sgainst onr centre with twenty battalions. The Turks were received with a crashing artillery fire. The Russian Tiraillons drove them back, pursuing them to Lombaton till night fall. The Turks were utterly de moralized and everywhere took to flight. To-morrow, Friday, a great battle is ex pected along the whole front, when we hope to cut Mnkbtar’s communications, and render bis position hopeless. Our losses are unknown, but over 2,000 are reported missing. QUESTION OF KEEPING THE DANUBE OPEN. The Times' Bucharest special says: Considerable diseassion is going on rela tive to the means of keeping communica tion across the Danube open during the winter. One plan suggested is the con struction of a bridge upon floating iron cylinders, another plan is for a fleet of steamers to be kept constantly crossing. The supporters of the latter plan point to the fact that the Hudson river ferries are kept going during the winter under far more disadvantageous-circumstances, rel ative to ice and current than would have to be encountered on the Danube. JEALOUSY CAUSED MEHAMET ALl’s REMOVAL. The Times' Vienna correspondent con firms the report that Mehamet Ali’s re moval is due to intrigues of a jealous Turkish rival who accused him of sur rounding himself with German and other foreign officers who revealed his plans to the Russians. An Egyptian Prince has been prominent amongst Mehemet’s de tractors. It is notable that Mehemet Ali’s last action failed in a great measure because the Egyptian troops failed to support him. RUSSIAN OBJECT IN ASIA. London, October 6.—In Asia the ob ject of the Russian attack is either to out Mukhtar Pasha off from Kars or drive him under it walls, and shat him up there. If they fail, the second Russian campaign in Asia will be over. QUIET IN BULGARIA. From Bulgaria there is no intelligence of active operations. The army of the Czarowitoh will natnraily wait on the ar rival of the whole of its reinforcements, before it will venture upon aggressive advance, either towards Rustchuk or across the npper Lorn. VIEW OF THE SITUATION. Special to the Enquirer-Sun.] London, Oct. 6.—The Ottoman army of Shumla can hardly make an offensive movement until its new commander has arrived at headquarters. As yet, Sulei man Pasha is only reputed to have reached Shumla. If the weather contin ues fine, and the roads remain passable for transport, some heavy fighting may be expected in this direction within a few days. The army of the Czarwitch will have no longer occasion to haul after the rear most battalions of the gnard have crossed the Danube. The new Ottoman comman der may be expected to attempt some bold exploits in order to jnstify his ap pointment, and the snpercession of his predecessor. His career has been essen tially that of a fighting general. From Plevna, there is no further intel ligence, although the Roumanians have pushed their sap to within a few yards of the counterscarp of the second redoubt on the Gravitza ridge. No accounts have come which would indicate that the position of Osman Pasha has been invested or closely blockaded. On the contrary, the army of Ohefkat Pasha which has been assembled at Or- chakie to aid the defence offered by the garrison, is reported to have been rein forced by a portion of the battalions lately occupied in the Schipka Pass. It would, therefore,seem that Chefkat Pasha should soon be ready to advance nearer to his comrade, and to aid in an endeavor to drive the Russian army from its posi tion. It would not be surprising,however, if the concentration of a considerable army in Osman Pasha’s rear was the fore runner of his withdrawal from Plevna, either at Veralza or Orchakie, would be nearer Sofia, Widdin and the Servian frontier, and would none the less threaten the Sussian right flank. Osman Pasha’s withdrawal in safety to either of these positions would be a great strategic vic tory. Falling; of a Bridge. Atchison, Kansas, October 6.—At 12 o’clock last night the western abutment of the great iron bridge which # spans the Missonri river at this point caved into the river with a terrible crash, carrying with it the whole of the fifteen feet wall, and abont seventy feet of the embankment. The gradual sliding of the work had been observed for the past forty-eight hours. WATT & WALKER, Columbus, GEO n G X A. !. H. WATT & CO., Neal’s Landing, FliORI X> a. McCullough in Richmond. Richmond, Va., October6—California tragedian, John McCullough, has just closed a very successful engagement here. He goes hence to Colombia, S. C., and thence to other Southern and Western cities. Miners Resume Work. Pittston, Pa., October 6.—The Penn sylvania Coal Company and Miners’ Mass Meeting assembled to-day. It was resolved, almost unanimously, to resume work next Monday upon the Company’s terms. How to Get an Appetite. To a man or woman without an appetite, “the best the market affords” presents littlo or no attractions. The sooner such a hapless Individual puts the gastric organ in a condi tion to enjoy the edible comforts which a boun tiful providence has provided, the more reason there will be to feel grateful for the suggestion. To do this, invigorate the stomach with Hos- tetter’s Stomach Bitters, which will enable that organ to digest, properly, and, since good digestion is the parent of appetite, give birth to a desire for food at the intervals appointed by nature. With chronic want of appetite are usually associated nervousness, biliousness and constipation, three evils which are speedily overcome by the Bitters. All persons of a dys peptic or bilious tendency should use this healthful tonic daily, or at least three or four times a week. A pursuance of this course wiil soon insure and confirm a radical change for the better in the condition of the stomach and associate organs. RIBBONS.
