New Orleans, November 23.—The
congressional committee on the Mis
sissippi river wont into session at 10
o’clock to take the evidence of the
pilots and river men. J. W. Whipple,
of Louisville, a pilot on the Ohio and
Mtesiesippi since 1856, was examined.
The witness described the effects of the
cut-oils and crevasses, and the shifting
of the channel, which often changed in
forty-eight hours. He was of the opin
ion that the works at Plum Point and
Delta would not protect the banks
from Natchez to the gulf. Navigation
is safe at all seasons, but in low water
witness has observed a depth of c-nly
four feet between Memphis and Vicks
burg. Levees could not oonAne the
river, and did not benefit navigation.
If the river could be kept in its chan
nel, navigation .would be improved
Crevasses are dangerous to navigation
when th6 water is high. At Bonnett
Carre, aud points below, heavy deposits
of sediment have been made, by reason
of the slackening of the current below
the outlet. At Marganz the same con
dition exists.

Supreme Court Decision*.
Special to Euquirer-Sun.l
Richmond, Va., November 23.—The
supreme oourt of appeals of Virginia,
all tbe members concurring, to-day
decided that the act of the legislature
passed at the last session in the matter
of the state debt, known as “coupon
killer,” does not include the coupons of
the act of 1879,known as the “McCulloch
bill.” Uuder this decisiou these cou
pons are receivable for., state taxes.
Judge L L. Lewis, elected by the re
ad justers at the last session of the leg
islature as Judge Mancure’s successor,
concurred. A subsequent bill wrh
passed by the same legislature known
as “coupon killer No. 2,” however,
which virtually kills the above de
cisiou, as it provides that on and after
December 1st, 1882, all state revenues
shall be collected iu gold, silver, United
States treasury notes, national bauk
notes, and nothingelse. The McCulloch
coupons are, therefore, only receivable
for taxes until December next.

Special to Euqulrer-Sun.]
Denver, Col., November 23 —There
is no doubt that the mails between
Denver and the eastern cittcs, particu
larly New York, Cleveland and
Buffalo, are being systematically and
successfully robbed. The New York
aud eastern mail which left Denver on
December 20th, 1881, never reached its
d< stlnation, and since that time losses
are almost constantly being reported.
The postal authorities claim to have
been thus far so successful as to locate
tho trouble oast of the Missouri river,
but still tho robberies go on
under their very eyes. The real losses
in valuables and currency can hardly
be estimated, but losses in drafts, bills
of exchange and postal monev orders
will aggregate over $(>00,000, Of course
these last are not real losses, but tbe
Denver banks aud business houses
have been forced to make their transfer
of money through express companies,
much to their cost and inconvenience.
More recent robberies occurred October
7ih, 17th, 31st, and November 7th.

often come near causing her death

A Balloon Propelled by Elec

M. Tissandier is preparing a balloon
to be driven by electricity. The ma
chine is to weigh 600 pounds, and the
secondary batteries 1,700 pounds, rep
resenting about five-horse power
These will he carried by an electrical
balloon of a volume ot 100,000 eubi
feet. It is to be 131 feet long, and i»
diameter in the centre 00 7 feet. I
would have a lifting power of three
and a half tons, and consequently
would be able to support one ton
weight of passengers, ballast, ec., be

With tho air calm, its speed would
be from twelve to fifteen miles per
hour, which, of course, could be main
tained for only a few hours. M

Washington, November 21. —In

Engineer Melville continued his ac
count of tho search for I). Long and
his party. The narrative was very
pathetic, and the speaker told his
story in a straightforward manner.
He gave details of the discovery of

hunks of the Lena. A large audience
was present. Tho attention of tho
^archers was llrwl attracted by

In the recent elections the demo
crats have carried several states
which liuve almost Invariably gone
for the republicans since that party
was founded. Do the democrats in
tend to utilize tins revolution and
make a permanent lodgement in
these states? In determining this
,mention lliey may deduce a lesson
from Ihe early history of their oppo
nents.
In thoir lirst national contest in
1850 the republicans oiptured from
Hie democrats nine states. Of these
States Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode
[.land, Connecticut, New York,
Ohio and Michigan hud generally
I,sen demne.rulic from the days of
Jackson aud Van ituren. In tiie same
campaign they carried Iowa and
Wisconsin, Iwiiof tbe younger stales,
\,„tli of which were democratic aud
had voted for Fierce in 1862.
The fact to which we call the spe
cial ullenlion of the democrats is that
the republicans never relaxed their
grasp upon those states, hut carried
them ull for Lincoln in 18(il>, together
with Pennsylvania, Illinois and In
diiimi, which had been oonsplcuom
in the democratic column for Ihe pre
vious thirty years. Indeed,during tiie
twenty years from the Fremont cam
piiign to tile Tililou contest of 1870
Ihe most of these states were strong,
holds of tne republican party.
Now, If the democrats intend to
elect Ihe president in 1.884, they must
exhibit tiie tenacity of the early
publicans by retaining their
upon Ihe states they have just
quered from their opponents. 'I hey
must win the eoniidene.e
honest republicans who helped them
to achieve the victories of lid- full
They must wisely and economically
maiiage Ihe concerns of tiie state;
under their control. And they must
so conduct themselves in emigre
to show the country thut they

seats was to come up tiie democrats
had concerted a scheme to capture

and the democrats were to voteafilrm
•oly and with their full strength,
and at the critical moment carry tiie
point, to put Keuna of West
Virginia in the speaker’s chair
to perform Keifer’a duties
for the time being. This scheme, it
is alleged, was fully agreed to in dem
ocratic caucus, hut was communi
cated to lOdler, who sent for Black
burn, of Kentucky, and asked him
about it. Tiie two men are warm
personal friends, but Blackburn was
not at liberty to discuss tbe matter
Keifer then informed him that be

A telegram from Cairo a few days
ago said that in ull likelihood the
sacred caravan now on its way to
Mecca would be obliged to return to
Cairo as an accident had happened to
the Holy Carpet and Mahm’l through
triklng a telegraph wire. As such a
mishap *eC. M1H to furnish a ridiculous
ly inadequate reasb\? for the retro-
grade movement of some Si?,000 pil
grims with their 45,000 camels, a de-
ription of the Mahm’l and an ac
count of reasons for tiie sacred caras
van’s return will he found interesting.
The koran promises full absolution
for past sins, and very great compen
sations in the world to come, to those
of tiie faithful who make th e pilgrim
age to the holy shrine of the propiiet
at Mecca, and those of them who die
on their way to or from the holy city
or during their stay there are prorn-
rlHsting youth and vigor on
Mountain of Jhlaf, where forty beau
tiful houris will ever attend to their
wants. Believing that they have
prospects in store, thousands of mos-
iems flock annually to Mecca, espe
cially those who have passed tiie
prime of life. The international qur-
antine established by the European
powers to stop the spread of dis-
ases, such uh cholera, typhus and
the plague, which, as a rule, generate
at Mecca during the Bairatn, publish
statistics of tiie worshippers, and for
the last ten years they have averaged
nearly 300,090. These come from
Turkey, Persia, Afghanistan, Kur
distan, Tartary, China, India, Rus
sia, Tripoli, Z inzibar, and from all
points of Africa and Asia. Previous
to the building of tiie Suez canal, tiie
grand caravan, as it is called, was
enormous, and although very formi-
lable, yet the majority of the pil
grim go by sea to Jeddah, tiie near
est point to Mecca on tho Ara
bian side of the Red Sea.
Any Christian found within the
walls of Mecca is Instantly put to
death ; and had it not not been for
Prof Vamlery and (’apt. Boston,who
visited the city disguised us imams
or Turkish priests, after studying the
language and religion of the people
thoroughly,nothing would have been
kuown of the Meccan proceedings
during the Kourbau Bdrum Wo
men are also prohibited from ap
proaching tlie shrine of the prophet
under fhe penalty of being stoned to
death ; and as some attempts have
been made by women to enter tiie
city, precautions are now taken
which render such a calamity im
possible. One woman, however, did
enter—the Baracene Haltana named
Pearl Bush—not, however, disguised,
uh she was accompanied by 50 000
warriors, determined to force her
way, iiad not the grand shereef open
ed tiie gates for her to enter.
Kince then the Holy MahmU or lit
ter in which the princess journeyed
to Mecca Is taken to the holy city
and back every year, as representing
the female population, who, being
forbidden to worship in person, send
the Mahm’l as their representative
This sacred litter is now several
hundred years old, and no doubt very
little of the original material of which
it was made exists. It is, however,
kept in splendid repair, and besides
being studded with precious stones
of immense value, is covered
with gold and other valu
able ornaments, which the faithful
attach to it as oil’ rings. It lias been
in the keeping of the family named
Kheich el Ganiel ever since its first
journey. The representative of this
family not only guards it on its
return from the pilgrimage, but act
ually accompanies it year after >ear
on its dreary voyage through the
desert. The Btieich-el Gamels have
always given signs of insanity, and
are for this reason esteemed saints liy
Mohammedans. Anybody passing
a week in Cairo is sure to meet at
least one of them.
The holy litter now, instead of con
taining a woman, carries the holy
carpet, which is sent regularly to
Cairo by the sultan from Constanti
nople, and on its arrival is rectived
with great honors. It is taken to the
alabaster mosque of the citadel, and
there embroidered in gold by the
women, who consider this equivalent
to visiting Mecca, as tiie tomb of
Mohammed will for one whole year
be covered with this carpet, which
will he returned to Cairo when the
next one is sent. While this cm-

prophet to save his people from an
impending unknown calamity. The
vicery of Egypt, Hiid Pasha,
however, saved the situa

grims left in the desert to proceed to
Mecca aud to camp outside the walls
and then wait for him in person or
his representative. He then had the
carnet repaired, refilled und sealed;
and, Being that it could never reach
Mecca in time if sent by the ordinary
loute, sent it by train to Huez, thence
by special steamer to Ycddah, whence
it could reach Mecca in twelve hours.
Although no time was lost either at
Cairo, Huez or Yeddah, the Holy
Mahm’l reached Mecca one day only
before the fete of the Kourbau Bal-

Distribution of Coin and Cur
rency.-—In referring to the distribu
tion of coin and paper currency tho
comptroller of the Unitod States says:
From November 1st, 1881, to Novem
ber 1st, 1882, the production of gold
by the mines of tiie United States is
estimated at $-13,359,021 and the
amount of gold exported from
the country in excess of the
amount imported has been
$30,122,536. The difference, $7,-
232,485, is the increase during the
year. The director of tho mint esti
mates that $2,700,000 of this amount
has been used in arts, leaviug $4,536,-
485 as the increase in the stock of
gold remaining in the country and
available for circulation. The total
excess of the imports of gold over tiie
xports from the date of resumption
•> November 1, lss2, has been $101,-
11 578, and the total gold product of
lie mints of .the United Htates for
lie same period is estimated
o have been $147,509,021.
Tliis is the first year since
1879 during which the exportation of
Id has exceeded the importation.
During the last two months, (Septem
ber and October, 1882, the imports
have, however, slightly exceeded the
sports. The amount of standard
Iver dollars coined during the year
uh been $27,657,175, and the total
mount coined up to November 1,
482, since tiie passage of the law of
obnmry 28, 1878, authorizing their
linage, has been $128,329,880, The
