Several of our leading citizens met at office of J M Russell, Esq., yesterday morning to take into consideration the purchase of this road, it being under stood that Governor Colquitt would be likely to accept a proposition that would not bo onerous upon the purchasers. Col W L Salisbury was chosen chair man of the meeting and Mr Wm Redd acted as secretary. After a full and free expression by the meeting, a com mittee consisting of Geo P Swift, Sr, 0 A Redd, John L Mustian, J P Manley, and W A Little were appointed to can vass the city for subscription* to pur chase the road. If these gentlemen succeed in securing $40,000, payable in installments, there will be no difficulty In the purchase ami securing an exten sion to Chi pi ev Station, 32 miles from Columbus. Wo hope our citizens will put down their names with liberal subscriptions. If so, the day of unjust discriminations will be doomed, and Columbus, instead of waning, will be one of the largest inland cities of the South. ■•thMllH ApMlsIstrsO for ('olnmbni. From our special dispatch we learn that the South Georgia Conference has adjourned. Rev. A. M. Wynn has been appoint ed Presiding Elder of the District. We are truly glad of this. He is one of the purest and most lovable men it lias ever been our good fortune to meet. Ho has lived here as pastor of the prin cipal M. K. church in former years, and endeared all to him by his rare tact, courtesy, excellent sermons and zeal for his Master. He is a ministor whom saint and sinner can alike wel come, for his daily life is on illustra tion of Christianity. As a man, minis ter and citizen, we in common with all our people welcome him back to Co lumbus. We hope he will make Colum bus his home. Rev. J. O. A. Cook is assigned to St. Luke Church. He has never been hero before that we can remember, but is spoken of as a preacher of ability and a man of influence. Rev. l)r, J. 8. Key returns to 8t. Paul's Church. Some of the Guest ser mons we liavo over heard have fallen from his Ups. He has been living In our city some months. Rev. J. V. M. Morris, a minister who works with a will and zeal, goes to Gi rard and Trinity. We hope to give In this paper all the appointments, hut at the present writ ing, 1 a. M., fear we will not. BM(h ttf J.

Doubtless a great many would like to be present when this wonderful ma chinery is lirst put in motion by tlio mighty river. PcrMSal. Col. P. P. Dickinson, of New York, and Major W. S. Greene, of Opelika, were In the city yesterday. Bishop Beckwith will lie in tire* city to-day. We are informed that ho will he called upon to oflleiate at a marriage ceremony.

Com rl. Fannie Thomas, colored, charged with fighting, was lined $7 60, or ton days on the chain gang. Good for Fannie. There is a city ordinance allowing the Mayor to sentence the disorderly to the chain gang in default of payment of line, and it is going to Vie enforced by the present incumbent. Wo have his word for it. In consequence of ids de termination iu this direction, we hope to see every street in our city tn per fect order within the next twelve months, or this disorder stopped, or what is still hotter, the city divested of the numerous vagrants. We do really wish that there were some sure means of getting at these idlers. There arc fully one thousand negroes mid some white people who do nothing and live upon the earnings of others. The streets are full of them. Any one can aee them dally. Would that there could be a more stringent law for these va grants. The Mayor will Ane heavily those who may be at his disposal. His collections from his courts last week amounted to about thirty dollars. Talbotton, Ga., Dec. 16, 1877. At 3 o'clock this afternoon Memorial Services were held in the Methodist Church. Services opened by Rev. A M Wynn. The South Georgia Confer ence mourned the loss of the good malt, Rev. A J Doan, who fell at his post of duty in Perry, Ga., on the 20th of July, 1877.

Louis, LouisviUe, Toledo, Buffalo, and other interior cities, The sales of Field, Lieter A Co., of Chicago, last year amounted to over $17,000,000, an increase over the pre vious year of $7,000,000, and those of other boutes in the cities mentioned have been in like proportion. Many new houses have recently sprung up in those places, and are doing wel , and A. T. Stewart ACo. have thought it worth their while to establish branch in Chicago. A large propor tion of this business is drawn from New York city. It has been made possible by the course of the trunk railroads, whose through freight tariff for several years has discriminated largely in favor of the interior. On the other hand, since January 1st no less than eight important New York concerns have gone out of business. IMk Oat Far Manta Claasl He will estsblish his headquarters for tho Holiday season at J.

Men have ordered silk dresses for— their sisters—or their Mothers-in-law—and carelessjmarklng has caused the goods to go astray!

The United Cigar Manufacturer’s Association has issued an address, the following portion of which will be of Interest to shtokers: Aye now come to another branch of the "modern” bo called “improved” way of manufacturing cigars. Al most every one who smokes has made a trial of the cigars advertised in a consplctous manner as “Warranted. Havana filled 5c. cigars.” Suppose the smoker is not accustomed to im- lorted Havanas, he will say of such a : lve-cent cigar that it can’t be called an extra line one ; but then, be says, it isn’t very expensive, aud for u little money I have smoked genuine Havana tobacco. Just this is the point we want to come to. The inner fillings of these cigars consist of to bacco cut short by machinery, which makes it the so-called scraps. These scraps, according to the large-lettered placards and labels, have been cut from Havana tobacco. Leafy fillings can easily be recognized by most any body engaged in our business; but these scraps, shorter than absolutely necessary for work, cannot be judged of, even by experts. We give tlie ,reader tlie assurance that is. the in tention of the makers to de ceive every one with tills short stuff. We also assure the public that the "Havana flavor” results only from the fact that one-oightli of the filling is taken from the refuse products of Cuba, seven-eighths of tue contents being grown within the domains of Uncle Sam. A chemist who under stands his business will for a small compensation prepare the Havana flavor needed In tlie manufacture of these cigars. The cost price to the manufacturer for cigars of this kind is from $16 to $20 per thousand. They are sold to retailers at about $30, net ting the former a profit larger than the imagination of the most infatuated smoker would reach. Why, then, would you pay five cents for one of these cigars, when it isn’t worth more than half that amount? Is it possible that such impositions can so heartily be supported by the public ? The demand of smokers for dark, possibly black cigars, seemed at first to become an insurmountable obstacle to cigar manufacturers. As nature does not produce dark or. black tobac co, chemistry must again be called on for the relief. Wrappers are now colored before manufacture, and the finished cigars, even the lightest ones are changed to a beautiful brown or black by an application of tlie chemi cal compound to their surface. That such processes are necessary, we would not blame the manufacturer, but the smoker himself. The manufacturer is obliged to find means to suit bis customers. All that can be expected of him is the confession that an arti ficial coloring lias been used. Reform MueNai Hayes Eaves. The friends and admirers of civil service reform under tlie Fraudulent Administration may well point with pride to the spectate now presented In the Custom House nt New Orleans. Anderson is acting Collector of the Port, specially selected for that trust by Honest John Sherman. AVells is Surveyor of the Port, with one (foil os Deputy Surveyor, and another or namenting an inspectorship; and the mulatto Kenner is deputy Naval of ficer of the Port. Thus three of the Returning Board rascals, with indict ments hanging over their heads.and the penitentiary in prospect, are chosen to administer the most impor tant offices In tlie gift of the Execu tive in the Southern States. They hold these places as rewards for the frauds and forgeries pepetrat- *d to falsify the vote of Louisiana and to count in Hayes, and for tlielr rank perjury in protecting Sherman and the other confederates before the in vestigating committees. ' While these notorious scoundrels, whose very names have become a synoiiyme for all that is infamous, are thus thrust into places of honor and profit, the men who conferred the distinctions upon them make open war on Sena tors and Representatives who only ask for an honest enforcement of the civil se'rvlce rules, and that removals shall not be made without cause. In New York Mr. Arthur aud Mr. Cornell are removed from office, so far as Executive power can reacli them, without a charge of any kind against their competency or character. In New Orleans Wells, Anderson, and Kenner, blackened with crime, and convicted, by tlielr own confes sions, of stealing the vote of Louisi ana, are lifted over tlie protests of tlie whole people Into the highest of the distinctions, and charged with the custody of tne pub lic revenues.
