YOL. XIX. COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 23, 1877. NO. 276 WASHINGTON. Committee by Nix to Three Instructed lo Report In Favor of Bellow—Wick- erohnm Postmaster at Mobile—-The Loalsana and Mouth Carolina tines* tloas In Nenate—Packard Dines with Hayes—Conklin* Hints of Alliances. the president and silver bill. Washington. Nov. 22.—The New York Post'll special says the President, iu conversation with a prominent offi cer within forty-eight hours, declared unhesitatingly that he would veto any silver bill which does not ex pressly except the public debt from its operation. He will not approve any measure which has the slightest tendency to impair the national cred it, or cause holders of national securi ties to think that they will be paid in currency of less value than gold. COMMITTEE ON PRIVILEGES, BY 6 TO 3 INSTRUCTED TO REPORT FOR KELLOGG. The Committee on Privileges and Elections voted this morning fl to 3, a strict party vote, instructing the chairman to report to-morrow to seat Kellogg as Senator from Louisiana for the long term. WICKERSHAM POSTMASTER OF MO BILE. The Committee on Postofflces of the Senate have had Wickersham, postmaster for Mobile, under fire for two days. No result. SPOFFORD VS. KELLOGG. 1:00 I*, m.—It now appears the de cisive vote in Privileges and Elec tions was not taken. The vote, how ever, is considered indicative. Spof- ford and Kellogg are each to be al lowed half an hour for argument this afternoon, when there will be two elaborate reports requiring several days for preparation. THE LOUISIANA AND SOUTH CAROLI NA SENATORIAL QUESTIONS. The pressure is tremendous on the Senatorial question and the impres sion prevails that should the question be forced eurly next week the result will be the seating of Ilutler from South Carolinu, and Kellogg' from Louisiana. It is known that Senator Conover,of Florida,will vote through out for seating Butler from South Carolina, and as at present advised he will vote for seating Kellogg. Cono ver’s friends say of him that his action in these cases is entirely of his own volition and must not be con strued that he is going over to the Democracy. They claim for him that he has maintained a consistent record and will be firm notwithstanding the pressure brought to bear upon him, and while a Republican he has the honesty and courage to do that which his own judgment dictates is right. He believes General Butler entitled to his seat as duly elected and will therefore vote for him as persistently as he did for Mr. Pinchback. PACKARD LUNCHES WITH HAYES. Ex-Governor Packurd, of Louisi ana, had lunch with the President this afternoon, and spent two hours with him in conversation about the situation. alliances. Itrwas to be hoped they were holy alliances. There had ' been whispers of alliances pending for sometime and which were yesterday suspected to have ripened into cer tainty—alliances relied upon to trans fer the majority from one side to the other side of the Senate. He felt it his right to ascertain by the earliest method who were the allies, the re serve recruits and how many there were. It seemed that a inotio'n to lay on the table not being debateable would produce a very early revolution ot the coalition, and show how it was that the control of the Senate was to pass away from the majority ns here tofore constituted, and like the star of empire westward take its way. Here lie looked towards the west or Democratic side of the chamber. Bearing on the question, Mr. Ed munds is (looted: I have read the record with considerable care, and I find that the chairman of the Com mittee on Privileges and Elections did attempt to persuade my honora ble friend from Indiana and others of that ilk that it was ungracious, un just. unfair and uuueeoedwuted. L«t me tell my honorable Mend that he and others should undertake to trip up the heels of u committee of this body- before they hnd an opportunity to Investigate a matters that it had been thought worthy to send to them THE CAMPAIGN IN TURKEY. London, November 22.—The ope rations near Kutschuk, as reported by the liussian and Turkish bulletins, indicate a disposition on the part of the Turks to attempt the repetition of Mehcmet All’s tactics for relieving Plevna by threatening of the Czaro- wltcli’s army and Danube crossings. The Turks nave repeatedly asserted that the Czarowltch’s force has been materially weakened In order to strengthen other positions. Suleiman Pasha seems to be still in command on the Loin. RUSSIANS ENTER KARS. Grand Duke Michael entered Kars on Monday. He reserved the homage of the inhabitants. Typhoid fever Is spreading in the town. FRANCE. FORTY-FIFTH CONGRESS. Washington, November 22.—The Senate occupied the morning hours in discussing motions of Thurman to amend the journal of yesterday's pro ceedings, so that it should not show that the pending question was a mo tion of Hoar to lay on the table a res olution to discharge the Committee of Privileges and Elections from further consideration of the Butler credentials. He argued that Hour had withdrawn that motion by unani mous consent. In the vote this morning Conover and Patterson voted with the Demo crats. After some discussion Thurman withdrew his motion to amend the journal. Mr. Windom, from the Committee on Appropriations, reported with amendments the House joint resolu tion in relation to the Paris Exposi tion Exhibition. Placed on the cal endar. The Senate then, by a vote of yeas 29, nays 32, refused to lay on the table the resolution of Mr. Thurman to discharge the Committee on Privile ges and Elections from further con sideration of the credentials of M. C. Butler as Senator from South Caro lina. Messrs. Davis (of Illinois), Conover (of Florida), and Patterson (of South Carolina) voted with the Democrats in the negative. The question then being on the adoption of the resolution, Mr. Ed munds (of Vermont) moved to amend the resolution so as to discharge the committee from the further consider ation of tlie credentials of Mr. Kellogg as Senator from Louisiana, instead of Mr. Butler us Senator from South Carolina. Upon this motion a debate followed. Edmund’s motion to insert the name of Kellogg instead of Butler in the pending resolution to discharge the Committee on Privileges and Elections from further consideration of the case was defeated—yeas, 30; nays, 31. Conkling then submitted an amend ment that the Committee on Privi leges and Elections be directed to report in the matter of Kellogg and Spofford, and meantime the South Carolinu case be postponed. Rejected by 30 to 82. Edmunds then submitted a motion to discharge the committee from the consideration of Kellogg and Si>of- ford. Rejected, by 30 to ?2. Edmunds then moved further con sideration be postponed to Monday. Rejected, by 30 to 31. Edmunds moved the Senate ad journ to Monday. Vote, 31 to 31. Conover, in tills instance, voting with the Republicans and the Senate ad journed to Monday by vote of Vice President Wheeler. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] Washington, Nov. 22.—Conkling in the Senate to-day, said regarding his call for the ayes and nays on Hoar’s motion to table Thurman’s motion to discharge the committee from further consideration of the South Carolina case, his purpose in calling for the yeas and nays on the motion to lay on the table was to put it beyond the reach of recall or mover of withdrawal by any laxly. He had no hesitation in avowing his reason for this, there had been, if not ru- jnora, whispers of new and strange By that sort of method, (I believe that is a parliamentary word), by that sort of method, which in .some conclave somewhere adjusts matters of this kind, appealing to the judicial sense of this body in the dark, as a campaign in war time Is supposed to lie adjusted, with spies and scouts and tactics and telegrams and ciphers and so on, and then march into this arena of serene jus tice, as it is so often culled upon such questions, and with the troops all drilled and the guns all loaded, take the ease that happens to be most con venient in order to make votes. They fast cut that off from consideration, and thereby acquire strength enough by the same solid methods to prevent any other than a similar dis]x>sl. tion of any other like cuse without any regard to the evidence. Mr. President, if any thing of that kind has occurred, as it Is notorious in the newspapers that it has, then it does not commend itself, it appears to me, largely to our consideration, but my friend from In diana now tells me that the Chairman of the Committee on Privileges and Elections says that the Kellogg ease ought to be investigated. Ho It ought but not less so than those that stand later on the calendar of the Senate, and as I presume on the calendar of the committee, und tliat ought in all justice and truth be taken up in their order and fairly consid ered and disposed of. But to introduce the tricks of the theatre, the shiftings of the scenes, the lap doors and the drops in the dark comes to manifest, and muster a solid body of men to cut the knot in this way. ft appears to ma It does neLaHaw Joy friend u large chance to say that the chairman of the Committee on Privi leges and Elections thinks that we ought not to discharge the Committee from tlie consideration of Kellogg, when my friend und all his associates say that we must discharge them from the consideration of a case that they have not been able to reach, because, as it is said, it is a little more convenient to get a certain person admitted to a seat in this body by that method (for I wish to keep strictly within the proprieties of this occasion) than by the other. Ho it is, Mr. President, that with great hope, knowing how patriotic and how un partisan my friend und his associates ure, I appeal to them. Let us dis charge tlie Committee from Kellogg and dispose of his and Mr. Hpoflbrd’s case. If it is right to discharge the Committee before inquiry and reports where the Senate have already de termined the subject in their own minds by their own votes, let us do it in the first case. First then, 1 think my friends so voting to do that, I will unite with tliem’in carrying out their own prin ciples and practice. We will vote to discharge the committee in tlie South Carolina case, and will spend a week or two in finding out what wo can do with ourselves here. Very well, let the Senators vote with me to discharge the committee in the first case. They say tlie committee ought to be dis charged from them all. If that is tlie order of tlie Senate, I submit to tlie will of the majority, and when we have disposed of the first, I shall be very seriously inclined to relievo the ' committee from consideration of Corbin and Butler. While, as I say, we can take up tlie papers and the evidence, we are* au thorized to summon witnesses our selves, and they cun be heard at the liar of tlie Senate, and thus we shall then have the pageants that have been rarely witnessed in history that will be so honorable to the principles of my good friends, and the other side, so satisfactory to the sense of tlie American people, and go on with the investigation in that way. Let us have peace, Mr. President, and con ciliation. IIOUME. The motion to reconsider the vote of yesterday defeating tlie amend ment of Waddell, of North Carolina to appropriate $700,000 for mail routes other than railroad and steamship lines, was defeated and the deficiency bill passed without that provision. Bills were introduced by Hunton of Virginia, for the payment of the full value of cotton seized by Treas ury officials after May, I860, und by Vance, of North Carolina, for fast mail service between Washington and several Southern cities. Tlie debate on the bill to repeal the resumption act was closed by a strong speech in its favor, by Ewing, of Ohio. The House adjourned without final action on the bill. TURK0 RUSSIAN WAR.

Miss Florence Adele Vanderbilt, daughter of Win. H. Vanderbilt, will be married to Mr. Hamilton McK. Twomhloy of Boston on Wednesday evening next, at 8 o’olook, in Ht. Bar tholomew's Church, at Madison ave nue and Forty-fourth street. The wedding trousseau, which is now be ing prepared at Madame Connolly’s, in East Bixtcentli street, is a marvel of richness and elegance. It is jeal ously' guarded from curious eyes, lmt a personal friend who has seen it says that it Is undoubtedly the most elab orate and costly outfit ever given to an American bride. The wedding dress is of white satin brocade, trimmed witli three kinds of iiiou—tumid puuiLDoiiH Venice, mid point applique—with pearl trimmings and orange blossoms. It is in tlie Princesse style, with tlie neck cut low a In Pompadour, and tlie bosom filled witli lace fichu and pearl trimmings. The corsage is short, and finished witli a licit at the waist. Tin* front of the dress is trimmed witli festoons of lace, supjxirted by three folds of satin drapery, coming to tlie front and caught up with bouquets of orange blossoms. Tlie pattern of tlie lace is exquisite. Each festoon is a quarter of a yard deep, and bears a beautifully interwoven design in flowers representing roses, lilies, and baskets overflowing witli floral treas ures of ail sorts. Each alternate fes toon is of point Venice and point ap plique, and tlie intermediate ones are of round point and point Venice. Tlie lace is tlie finest that tlie ateliers of tlie Paris modistes could furnish, mid eclipses anything heretofore seen in tills country. The bottom of the skirt in front is trimmed with sectional sliirriugs of white satin, filled In between with bouquets of orange blossoms. At the sides the trimming is deep, and ? ;rows gradually narrower toward the rout. A11 elegant court train of white satin brocade extends three and a half yards back from the body of the dress. The brocade ruiiH Into points at the bottom, with several rows of white satin pelisses laid un der the points, making a very stylish effect. A choice trimming of round point, point applique, and point Ven ice enibellishes the train, which is also adorned witli pearl trimmings of great beauty, The sleeves are entire ly of lace, set oft’ witli orange blos soms. Tlie cost of tlie whole dress is known to be greater than that of Nel lie Grant’s, or of the one worn by Miss Lizzie Tweed at her wedding, and which represented over $5,000, ex clusive of diamonds. Among the other elegant costumes of the trousseau are the following: A sulphur-colored silk, composed of sul phur and white brocade. The waist In out n la Pompadour in points, witli Valenciennes and pearl trimmings laid under. Otherportionsof the trim ming are Valenciennes luce, with chenille. There are two pairs of sleeves, one of Valen ciennes and the other of white chenille net, in meshes one-quarter of an in square, each corner being caught up with a pearl bead. This is a costume of rare beauty. A magnificent bluck silk, trimmed with chenille lace and amber beads, very rich. A maroon velvet shirred on u silk foundation, trimmed with coke feath ers of tlie same color as tlie velvet. There is an almost endless variety of summer, reception, evening, traveling and morning dresses, ui) of tin* costs liest and most elaborate description, and cut und trimmed in the highest style of tlie dressmakers’ art. Tlie only bridesmaid at tlie mar riage ceremony will be a young sister of the bride. Her costume is of white embroidered gauze und sutin. Among tlie dresses to bo worn by members of tlie bridal party on tlie evening of tlie wedding are the following : A superb luvender satin brocade, trimmed witli un exceedingly fine quality of Valenciennes luce. A cream-colored mutelasse und satin, trimmed witli Valenciennes und pearl. It is cut in tlie Princesse style, with court train and waist a la Pompadour. A11 elegant pink silk und maroon velvet, trimmed witli Valenciennes, chenille, and amber beads. Tlie lingerie of tlie trousseau in cludes tlie finest luces, linens, cam brics and embroideries, and recalls, in extent and variety, tlie wedding outfit of tlie Grand Duchess Marie of Russia, of which such elaborate de scriptions were published in the Lon don newspapers.—.V. V. Sun. Fifteen Year* In l*rl*on. Here is a scrap from tlie reminiscen ces of a Hungarian nobleman who spent tlio best part of his manhood's life in prison: “Fifteen years I was in this dun geon-—a rough, dark, noisome place, no more than ten feet square,” lie writes: "During six years I bud 11 companion—during nine years I wus alone. I could never clearly (list i 11- guisli tlie gloomsomeness of our cell. The first year we did not sleep, we talked incessantly together; wc rela ted every incident of tlie past which we could call to mind—told of our joys ami our sorrows—over and over again. The next year wc refrained from relating experience, and gave to each other our thoughts upon nil sorts of subjects. During tin* third year wc grew silent. Wc were losing the power of reflection and tlieold ideas were forgotten. During the fourth year we spoke but seldom, and then only to wonder if the world without was bright and bustling as we had left it. During tin* fifth we were mostly silent. There hud come a feeling of sadness, of isolation, which would not lie broken in upon. Tlie eflbrt of speech was painful. During the sixth year my companion wus taken away. They came and led him out, whether to death or to liber ty I knew not. I was glad when lie wus gone. Tin* pale, vucant face, dimly visible in the ceaseless gloom, always in the self same place—always an index of woe and suffering—had lieeonie unlienrable. Had lie been taken during the first or second year I should have been crushed ; but now the solitude wus grateful. I was thankful when I found myself alone with my great sorrow. One day, more than a year after my companion bud been taken away I beard the sound of a human voice again. The ibxir of my cell was open ed, uiiil a voice said to me: ‘By order of his Imperial Majesty I inform you, Hir Count, that your wife died twelve months since.’ Then the door was shut. Tills great agony had been cast in upon me’ and I was left alone with It. The next speech I heard was of my liberation. The best part of my life was behind me. Heaven grant that 1 may live long enough to learn to be grateful for my liberty.” Yes, there is a depth of miserytliat wants 110 company, and many are the men who have found anil suffered it. GILBERT’S PRINTING OFFICE AND A 8TMAXGK COMBAT. FI it lit Hrtwrrn Two Nl. Lou I* Men While In a TnrkUh Bath. The Ht. Louis Republican of the 3d instant contains the particulars of a fight between a bank cashier and a doctor, In the Turkish bath house of Dr. Adams, 311 North Seventh street of that city. The two men, who were enemies, met accidentally In the bath, both being nude and recumbent «pou tlie lounges. Harsh words be came harsher between the two, and finally one of the men said some- tliing-not to be listened to quietly; there was a quick blow and then a desperate struggle. The hottest mini of tlie Turkish bath is one whore the tile of the floor is so heated that bare feet must be burned which come in contact with it, and where strips of thick carpet protect the feet of the bathers. Along the front of the row of couches in the room a heavy strip of this carjiet ran, und here it was that the battle was carried on. The doctor struck Ills opponent in tlie face, cutting open a little vein in the forehead and filling one eye of the cashier with blood. At ’(lie same time the cashier returned the blow, and snatching a hold upon the doc tor’s flowing beard tore out what “Con,”oneof the attendants, culls “a double handful, be gob !” At the same time in the struggle of the men the long, broad strip of carpet be neath them was pushed aside by their feet, and the next instant the two men were ea|x*ring about upon the heated floor. It was an astonish ing spectacle. The men were naked they were perspiring violently am. they could not dutch each other to retain a hold. They could strike, however, and they mauled away, leaping up anil down in agony as they did so. No livelier moments ever occurred ill all tlie history of tlie prize ring. Imagine two men dancing about barefooted on a blister ing floor, and hitting at eacli other’s fuces in a frenzy ! Each man forced tlie fighting, for each felt that some thing hail got to be done quickly. The doctor capered about like a ballet master from over the sea, und the cashier Hecmed put on springs. It was a wilder dance than ever canni bals bad about a toasting victim, for here the dancers were the tonsteil. Meanwhile tlie attendants bud rushed In, and one seized the cashier while another held the doctor, and a moment later, the two men were dragged out und away from each other. A boy was sent to u druggist, and lie came back with liniment ami other comforts for the burned. The combatants were found to be very badly scorched indeed. From the soles of the doctor’s feet the parched skin peeled off'llke tin* bottom of tin old boot, und tlie cashier’s injuries, though somewhat less in tlie way of burns, were numerous and painful. The liniments und poultices were up- plied, the burned feet wrapped up’ and the two gentlemen who tried to settle a difficulty under such disad vantageous cleumstunces hobbled uway. A Curlou* Error. Gen. McClellan, in an article on the Eastern war, in the lust North Ameri can Review, makes 11 singular mis take—such a one as does not mar his excellent and instructive article. He speaks of a mighty stream of wurriors which Issued from Arabia, anil “en tered Europe in two great streams which were nigh united between tlie Danube and the Loire,” and would have conquered all Christendom but for the stern resistance made on the plains of Tours and under the walls of Vienna.” The confusion arising from the terms "Haracen,” “Moslem,” und to some extent, “Moor,,’ indifferently upplied with out distinction of races to Mohame- duns, bus produced a great ileal of confusion. The two streams of which General McClellan Hpcuks had lmd only religion in common, and the Moors only, who were defeated by Charles Muriel near TourH, after they bad erossed the Apenines from Spain, were originally from Arabia, The tide turned at Vienna by John Hobleski was the Ottoman Turks, a different race alto gether and from Turkestan and not Arabia. Tlie confusion of terms is quite common, and yet it is not difficult, to simplify the problem. The Moors came from Arabia and conquered northwest Africa — Mauritania — whence they were called Moors. Thence they overran Kpain, and re ceived their first cheek at Tours, and their final blow from Ferdinand and Isabella in the fifteenth century. The Baracens were Arabs, and tin* Saracen empire dates from the time of Mahomet as its origin. Their em ployment of Turkish body-guards by Hurucen Sultans in time of war wiis the beginning of Turkish growth, and finally the Seljuk Turkish dynasty wus erected on the ruins of tlie Sara cen rule. This gave way before tlie Tartars, who conquered Asia Minor in two different invasions. A new infusion of Turks preceded till* estab lishment of the present Turkish em pire under Otlinmn, tin* founder of Ottoman rule. It wus the advancing and victorious Ottomans who were twice defeated, once at Vienna, by John Hobleski. The distinction is an important one, for we owe much ill the arts und sci ences to the A rails, Moors ami Sara cens, while the Turks have contrib uted absolutely nothing to human knowledge. They have borrowed all the vices of the Arabs and none of their virtues.—Nasheille American.
