SUNDAY OCTOBER 1*> 1877.
SALISBURY & CO., - Proprietors.
The 'Western Union operates nearly
77,000 miles of wire, with 7,500 offices.
The famous Dnmmitt orange grove, on
the Indian river, Fla., has been sold io a
New Yorker for $22,000.
Died, in Liyerpool, England, Thursday,
October 11th, 1677, of congestion of the
lungs, Wm. J. Keyser, of Milton, Fla
Texas Jace has been arrested at Syra
cuse, N. Y., for defrauding his creditors.
That rids tho stage temporarily of one
bad actor.
Seceetaex Sheehan is said to have
been much surprised on hearing from
Ohio. If Sherman had not participated
in the campaign the figures might not
have been quite so large.
Ax the Edwin Adams auction for seats
it is reecorded that 1,500 pecp.e sa. by
and saw a handful of actors spend over
$2,000 in the cause of charity while they
would not loosen their purse-strings for a
cent.
Henby Meiggs, who died at Lima, on
the 29th ultimo, and whose death neces
sarily occasions a most profound sensa-
sation in Peru, and, indeed, throughout
South America, was born in Greene coun
ty, N. Y., in the year 1811.
Befoee leaving New York Mr. Ste
phens was solicited to be one of the Vice
Presidents of the meeting to support the
policy of the Administration, this week, j f orce should he advise it.
but he deolined, as it might afford the
enemies of the President an opportunity
to say things which were better left un
said.
Dn. J. II. Tones,a well-known Washing
ton physician, has presented his magnifi
cent medical library of 18,000 volumes to
the physicians of Chicago. He offered the
treasure to Pittsburgh and St. Louis, but
they would not have it. Dr. Toner will
also give a fund with the library to
provide an annual lecture.
While the hurrah over the Ohio victo
ry is yet at its height, it is pleasing to
revert to the returns from California,
which are jnst coming in in a shape to
enable a satisfactory measure of the
triumph there. It is now known that the
Democrats will have a majority of 16 in
the Senate and 28 in the House, so that
the State Legislature will vote 44 Demo
cratic majority on joint ballot.
The Sun's Philadelphia correspondent
says the details of the purchase of For
ney’s press have not yet leaked out. In
a single year (1872) the profits of the
concern was $77,000, and Colonel Forney
at that time refnsed an offer based on a
valuation of $750,000. Bat the paper has
fallen off in circulation and influence
since then, and it is believed to have been
now sold on a valuation not exceeding
$150,000.
WnEN Alexander H. Stephens called
upon tho President the other day to nrge
Herschel V. Johnson for Supreme Court
Judge, he said : “Mr. President, yon
know that Mr. Johnson, like myself, was
a Union man at the beginning of the se
cession movement, but when our State
went ont of course we felt it our duty to
follow its fortunes.” The President in-
terruptingly, said : “All that makes no
difference now, Mr. Stephens; all oar
citizens are equal in my eyes.”
EXTRA SESSION OF COSGRESS.
It convenes to-morrow. The Adminis
tration evidently desires a short session,
bat the general opinion seems to be that
it will be prolonged to the regular term in
Deeember. The business, with the dis
cussions that some cf it will provoke, can
hardly be finished in less than six weeks,
and much of it will be carried over.
The Democratic caucus last night,
nominated Samuel J. Randall of Pennsyl"
vania for Speaker, and Mr. Adams of
Kentucky as clerk. These gentlemen
held the samo positions in the last Con
gress. Both were chosen on the first bal
lot. As the Democrats have fifteen ma
jority in the Honse these nominations are
equivalent to elections, so there will be
no delay on this account. The selections
meet with the approval of Democracy.
Mr. Stephens of onr State nominated
Randall.
The message of Mr. Hayes will be
short, only recommending the passage of
appropriation bills, postponing his gen
eral views and policy for the regular ses
sion.
In the Senate will coma the tug of war
over his nominations. It is semi-officially
announced that he will appoint Gen. Har
lan as Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court. The South was clearly entitled to
this place; but the “model pacificator”
and “Electoral Commission elected fraud”
has decided to ignore her j ust claims and
give the position to a man accidentally
born this side of the line-, and who is as
conservative as Morton. Harlan is a bit
ter partisan Republican aed South hater.
This act cannot make onr Senators feel
very friendly to Mr. Hayes.
The most important recommendation
of Mr. Hayes will be to appropriate money
for the support of the army. \Ye believe
Democrats will refuse to increase the
Next, he will
desire the deficiency in the Naval pay to
be supplied, and this may givyise to an
investigation into the conduct of Grant’s
Secretary, Secor Robeson, during which
it will be openly charge that Robeson cor
ruptly used the money appropriated for
this purpose to cover up his own rascality
before leaving the Naval Department. It is
said that Secretary Thompson will simply
report the condition of the Department
at the time he took charge and since.
Appropriations will have to be made
also to pay the expenses of the
United States courts for last May and
June, the money for this having been
used for improper purposes by one Al-
phonso Taft during the last Presidential
campaign and subsequent contest over
the connt.
Sohnrz will want money to repair the
Patent Office building and put that and
other Government buildings in a fire
proof condition, if possible; and $200,-
000 will be asked for to suitably repre
sent tee country at the Paris Exposition.
The temperance people of the District
are moving to restrict the sale of liquor
and ask the passage of n law similar to
the Moffett enactment in Virginia. They
claim that it will produce an annual in
come of $400,000. This, however, will
be vigorously opposed by an influential
element.
It is believed that Messrs. Spofford and
EustD, of Louisiana, and Gen. Butler, of
South Carolina, will bo admitted to seats
in the Senate.
Me. A. C. Buell writes to the New Or
leans Democrat that John Kelly’s victory
in the New York Democratic Convention
was one which has much true inwardness
not visible to the naked eye of all peo
ple. The first object was to utterly dis
place Mr. Tilden as the Democratic nom
inee in 1880, and the substitution in his
placo of Thomas A. Hendricks. One of
tho dearest objects of Kelly’s political
life is to send a unanimous Hendricks
delegation from New York to the next
.\'ational Convention. KMIy expects 40,-
i in New York.
<?•♦-,*
How Consteued. — The independent
papers of the North, such as the New
lork Herald and Philadelphia Times,
construe the Democratic victory in Ohio to
mean the dissolution and coming defeat of
the Republican parly. New York is con
ceded to the Democrats in the November
election, and the Times says they will
carry Pennsylvania by a large majority.
This will insure Democratic Senators to
succeed Conkling and Don Cameron.
These papers consider the Ohio election
ns a defeat of Mr. Hayes, except so far as
he has adopted the Democratic policy of
local State government and removing
troops.
■ *•«.<•>
Th* appropriations which will demand
the immediate attention of Congress, are
those for the support of the army; for the
deficiency in the pay of the navy; defi
ciency in th > fund for the expenses of tho
United States Courts and for tho pavment
of the judgments of the Conn of Claims
for 187C. George Robeson and Clapp
shoold he able to explain in their
new paper the cause of the naval deficit,
and Hon. Alphonso Taft oan very likely
tell how there happened to be a deficiency
in the United States Courts fund. If a
large amount of that appropriation had
not been used last year for election purpo
ses in the South, it would have been
amply sufficient.
“Gallant Six Dundeed.”—In London,
on the 25th instant, the survivors of the
Balakava ‘ Six Hundred,” about a hun
dred in number, will have a private ban
quet given them by Lady Cardigan, the
widow of their oid commander. Every
body has heard of the famous charge,
but few persons know exactly what it cost
in British blood. Here are the official
figures: The Fourth Light Dragoons lost
79 ont of 118 men; the Eighth Hussars
66 ont of 104; Eleventh Hussars, 85 out
of 110; Thirteenth Dragoons, 69 out of
130; Seventh Lancers, no ont G f 145
Total loss, 409 out of GOT men. The French
commander, witnessing that heroic
oharge, is said to have exclaimed, (Test
beau, mail e est ne pas la guerre, ft was
rash aad fool-hardy, but it will live in
song and story.
A LADT correspondent of a Southern
paper, writing from Arkansas, gives the
following recipe to increase the flow of
milk in a cow. She says: “Tepidwater,
slightly salted, given twice a day, will in
crease the flow of milk one-third. If the
cow will now not drink it at first trial,
scatter a handful of bran or meal over the
top of it. They soon become very fond
of it, and will drink all you give them. I
tried this plan three years ago with per
fect success. I had only one cow, and
ehe was of the common scrub stock of the
country, and after she began to drink
the water, prepared as above, she fur
nished me twice a day two ordinary buck
ets full of milk, and by feeding a little
corn boiled with cotton seed, the milk
yielded butter enough to supply my table
houdtifuliy and leave me a few pounds to
sell every week. I gave her three gallons
* water twice a day.”

hannless and cheap remedy. Dr.

BRAVERY OF THE AEZ PERCES.
Chief Joseph and his band have been
captured, but he exhibited a generalship
and oourage in his brief campaign that is
rarely equaled. The oppressions of the
whites forced the war on him, and since
it was inaugurated ho has proved himself
equal in the art of war to aDy of tho re
cent savage leaders, and far superior to
most of the United States officers who
opposed him. With a force, never num
bering over three hundred warriors, he
has killed more than that number of sol
diers and settlers. He defeated Gen.
Gibbon, cleaned ont Bureau noward in a
pitched battle of two days and captured
a number of his cavalry horses, and has
fonght several drawn battles with Gen>
erals Sturgis and Miles. The latter offi
cer finally headed him off in a defile,
surrounded and forced a surrender. Gen.
Howard was as usual behind. Miles went
direct for the Indians, and did not loiter
Howard-like at the telegraph stations to
dispatch what ho intended to accomplish.
No Indian with the ability of Joseph
should be allowed freedom in the territo
ries. He made a brilliant fight while he
was at it.

energy, she met the demar ds against her.
She determined to supervise her interests,
and for several years past this noble young
lady has managed, with considerable sa
gacity, a good many farms,running fifteen
to twenty plows, making over one hun
dred bales of cotton, corn, grain, etc.,
selling her crops and purchasing her sup

O’Brien then invited Mr. Allen to meet

Allen, and both came np on the Port
Royal train, reachiug Augusta Thursday

purchased a pistol after getting to Am-
gusta. They intended to have no seconds,
but to go to the Ferry by themselves and
fight it out, and were on the eve of pro
ceeding to the duelling ground when they
were arrested by the police.

HUNGARIAN RAIDERS.
London, October 13.—The Standard's
Buchares special, Friday night, says it is
reported Hungary’s raiders have reversed
the frontier.
The Daily Reins' Bucharest special
says there can be no doubt that a number
of Hungarians really crossed the frontier.
Nothing is known of their movements.
They appear to be Dearly all infantry, and
should they advance far they will un
doubtedly be captured, and, if they resist,
be killed. The raiders are former Hun

BATTLE IN ARMENIA.
Special to the Enquirer Sun.]
London, October 13.—Nothing has
been received from tho Russians about
the latest battle in Armenia, since the
bulletin of October 9th, which stated that
the Turks had abandoned most of their
positions and began retreating, in conse
quence of the occupation of new positions
by the Russians. From private and offi
cial reports coming through Constantino
ple, it appears that Muhktar Pasha, pos
sibly in consequence of fighting from Oc
tober 2d to 4th, thought it advisable to
occupy a less extended line, and withdrew
his right wing, which stood near Sarbatan
holding the advanced position on the
Kezil Tepe, and retired to Hadjiveli and
Vezinkoi. The line occupied till lately
on the spurs of the Aladja Dagh was a
very formidable one, most of the posi
tions being well nigh impregnated in
front, but it extended at least fifteen to
seventeen miles, so that it would have
required an army much larger than Muhk
tar Pasha had at his command to keep it.
He has probably, all told, about 35,000 or
40,000 men, and it was clearly the plan of
the Russian attack to break through this
long line, especially as the advanced
position on the right extending to Sarba
tan and the Kezil Tepe left a gap between
his right and left, where a road from
Alexandropol by Galelzau, Sarbatan and
Hodjavite sinks away down towards Ve
zinkoi and Kars, it was, according . to
Muhktar’s account, while this move
ment was b«ing effected on Tuesday
morning, that the Russians commenced
an attack in strong force, with sixty
pieces of artillery. The Turkish
guns and two columns of infantry speedi
ly took up position, and a duel between
the heavy cannon took place all along
the line, from Khodjan to Hodjivite. The
battle raged from the afternoon till an
hour and a half after sunset, when the
Russians despite beiD g frequently reinf orc-
od dnring the conflict, were thoroughly
beaten and retreated under cover of the
darkness with a loss which Muhktar esti
mates at 12 000 killed and wounded. On
Tuesday night the Turks remained en
camped on the field, and the following
morning successfully accomplished a
movement to Aladja Dogh, which the
enemy had attempted to frustrate.
We clip the following additional to
what was published yesterday from Presi
dent Wadley s annual report which is clip

The Western Railroad of Alabama has
been managed, as for the previous year, ■
by General E. P. Alexander, and while
his report has not been published, the re- !
suit is known, and, in common with most
other roads, shows a decrease in earnings.
As compared with the previous year, tbe
decrease Uas been $23,860 83, while its
expenses have beeu reduced $9,814 41,
leaving the net $14,046 42 less than for
the twelve mouths ending 31st of August, *
1876. Tlo toard are somewhat disap

the report of General Alexander, when
published, by application to him at Mont

consequence of inaction on the part of
the Georgia Railroad Comp ny.
'Ihe Mobile and Girard Railroad Com
pany having become indebted to this
company to a very considerable amount,
and being entirely nnable to meet its
obligations for interest, made application
through a committee appointeu by iis
Board of Directors, for a reduction in the
rate of interest on the amount due to
this company. This application was met
on our part by agreeing to reduce the
rate of interest to four per cent, upon
condition that an enabling act should be
passed by tbe Legislature of Alabama,
authorizing the Mobile and Girard Rail
road Company to issue new bonds, and
execute a mortgage upon its road, to
secure the same, these bonds to be ex
changed with this comp -ny for the origi
nal obligations of the Mobile and Girard
Railroad Company. This act having been
passed, and ail other conditions necessa
ry to perfect the same having been com
plied with, the exchange was made, and
this company now bolds the four per
cent, bonds of the Mobile and Girard
Railroad Company instead of its matured
obligations, as at the date of the last report.
A more full and complete history of tbia
transaction is shown by the last report of
the Mobile and Girard Railroad Company,
dated June 1st, 1877. It is now beltevtd

TH AT M MAH' N
London, October 13.—French affairs
are attracting the attention of Europe al
most to the exclusion of all others. Baris
advices say the public excitement, until
now latent, is becoming manifest on the
streets. Republican comments on Presi
dent MoMahon’s last manifesto are very
severe.
The expulsion of Mr. Bedel!, (he
American, for canvassing for M. Menier,
Radical Republican at Montrouge has
been made so mnch of by the Republi
can papers, that the foreign office has ad
dressed a reprieving and admonitory
commiqne to the Bien Public and
France, the same as to the Rappel which
censured that journal for endeavoring to
excite public opinion in regard to Bedell’s
case.
Agents of London papers are required
to produce a written license for delivery
of their bundles at the station for the
sale of papers. This depends on the
pleasure of the Government. The Daily
News was seized yesterday.
According to the Times’ Paris dispatch,
Duke de Cazes, Minister of Foreign Af u
faira, who has heretofore been very care
ful and reserved, has lost his head, and
delivered a most intemperate speech at
Leboume, in which he admitted no dis
tinction between the Republican party
and the Communists and other dema
gogue enemies of tbe Constitution.
At a meeting last night, in support of
*M. Grevv’s candidature, Victor Hugo pre- 1
sided and made an eloquent speech. He |
said :
‘‘France is of age, she knows what she
wants. Montesquieu would hesitate
pends, as do the industries of the country ! ali knnls or Country Produce in exchange for
upon railroad transportation, and it is w ” r £ deXus^of'getting good work at low j
certain that these facilities cannot be per- ” - ■ -* - - —
manently eDjoyed unless the roads yield a
revenue equal to their maintenance and a
reasonable profit upon the capital necessa
ry for their construction. This it is believed
every dispassionate person will be willing
to concede, and beyond such an income, it
should be the duty of railway' mangers to
offer just and equitable reductions for
the transportation of freight and travel.
This end can only be reached by concert
of action and the most perfect good faith
between competing road’, and the asso
ciation, of which Mr. Powers is General
Commis-ioner, appears to be the best
means to accomplish the desired result.
The problem of so managing railways as
to be perfectly just to their owners, and
at ihe same time equally so to the public,
has thus far baffled the best minds of the
country, and it can hardly be hoped that
we shall reach the desired end at first trial,
but to make any approach we must lay aside
prejudice and passion, which it is feared
has heretofore been present in tbe discus
sion of this subject.
Much more might be said upon this
question, but it is unnecessary to elabos
rate the subject further than to say that
it is the desire of this company to make
perfectly just and fair rates to all its
patrons, so far as it lias the power to do
so consistently with the conditions above
referred to.
