You are root® (or len) hnmsn, il* trader, if, standing upon the de lightfully rnynterionw verge cf the holi day Hewn jnnt ahead, you axe not thrilled to ti e marrow with the ■©mo tion*. tingling and delieioua, born of anticipation. The very air is foil of orcena of the happy day a with which the old tear, bravely jocund, wiil hie iro«**iwor v The weather ia of »naaU roniMeration. Rain or tthine the at raoaphere ia radiant with bright hoj^fi a id picat-Atii fanciett. The thorough* fares are al ve with people, who, good ntlnredly, contrive to find aronrement in the difcmnfort of threading the nhppery street* or in ronnlng a gaunt* let of elbow joule* that threaten them on every aide. In the weather fair?— the nun shine* brighter than in the old daya, and there ia a genial warmth in the atmosphere. Ia it cold ?-the air in braoirg and vigor., us, and the wind that c« me* upon yon ruddeoly as you turn the comer, and selects your Bon day beaver for s plaything, is a jolly wind, and its pranks are merely gro- terque exhibition* of imliday humor. In It rainy ?—whst tnoTe delightful than to take refuge in the home circle, and, aittirg before the glowiDgupate, listen in a vague, drearny|way to the weather sprites chasing each other in Itoieteronn fur.hion through the tin npoutn, and off through the gutters ? Dincomfoit is hard to find, and ill-hn* mor— why, bless you I ill-humor in not to he thonght of. The bustle and etir cf the crowds on the streets—the clamorous laughter of little children a? they skip and daoce along the pave* ment—the brilliancy of the show win- dounof the stores * the wonderful ool* lections in the toy-shops- the smiling hues of women and men- combine to make the scene at once animated and joyous. Tl»e bells on tiie stree' car mules seem to tinkle with nnaccus* tniaed merriment. The very smoke from the chiumey-pots seems to be seized with the enthusiasm of the sea son, for without waiting to fairly take in the situation, it whirls awsy in a giddy waltz with the insanely joyous wind; and, somehow or other, the fra grance of plum-pndding (an imaginary fragrance, to be suie!) mingles with the other omens of the time and continues to make itself marvelously satisfactory addition to the hilarious anticipations of the occa- sit n. Not that pium»paddiag, or mince-pie or anything of that sort, is necessary to the enjoyment of the holi day season. Not at aU. But that there is some occult connection between the holidays and the dinner table you will not so far forget your self ss to dquy. There is roast turkey, for iiihl'lice—yes, and we will go fur ther and recur to plain-pudding and nmice-pie in this connection—whoever heard of a regular jolly Christmas where the board wasn'l graced with these tilings? And yet, gentle reader, on the 25th day ot December, in the year ol our Lord, 1877, there will he hun dreds of Christmas dinners where the scauiiiiers of the fare,could you but Ire present as a guest, would make your soul sick with shame and your heart bleed with pity. Hundreds of Christ* rnas dinners at which poverty, and want, and hunger preside. On the 25*11«lay of December, in the year oi our. Lord, 1877, hundreds of patieut, |iah**faced little children will go throng! the mockery*of hanging up their |»oo» little stockings to bo hi urn about by the cold wind that finds its way through the devices. Tlieiu is no Santa Claus for the poor. Pitiful, did you say, gsn* tie Christian reader? Ah, well 1 It is indeed pitiful that these littl< should rise, cold and hungry, to face the di.snpjioin'inents of poverty ; bm hew infinitely m »re pitiful does it all bcceme when yon rolled that li u mired.- an I thousands of these home are witli in e.i*y reach of your charity 1 Kind mothers ami fathers!

You who are planning sweet surprises for those yon know and love, ronuimlter the unfortu nate—r« ii endH*r those lonely little ones who will vainly dream through tb«- loi-g watches of the night of the ooming o' Sorts t'lsiia, ami let yourj remem brance Ire Milistiuitial. Years and years ago that wondrous O profess to worship—who streng:bem-d h!1 the world anti tho sons and daugh ter* thereof by hia supreme sacrifice taught you the lesson we would fain remind you of this morning.

The military operations of tire Rns sians hate been pushed forward as rapidly as mud, anewand bad weatb generally would permit. Nothing lias h w i ver, been accomplished »t Erze- roum, mainly ou account of thedifficul ties inseparable from elevated regions in the .rinterseasoa. The movements in Bulgaria indicate an intention to crosti the Ualkan* at an early day in over whelming force. Rre enforcements are constantly arriving, and the mobii- iuirionof sixty additional battalions has t'een ordered. The Servtau* are advancing towards Sofia. The occupa tion of Bobrova, after the evacuation by the Turks of Elena, indicates that the Russians art* preparing to march upon A Irianople through the Iron Git© well as through thepaseesuearSchipka ...oee cf the Bilkans. Salieman bat Icf tf the quadrilateral to take com- u. nd of the Adiiauople army. The gAir.aot.s of the fortresses of the quad iilateral are about all that is lelt oi the Tura'in Bulgaria. Gen. Todleben is preparing to bjaeixe Knatchuk and Gen. Zunnerinan will invest Silitu Whether heretofore unconquered Shumia will be invested or not does not appear. It is t tainly plain that the fighting open field, if anv, will be transferred to K .m. .ia, as soon as General Winter, w ho holds the Balkans, will permit. The Adrian., pie iiueis the last ditch the Turks. T e making of peace rather than the making of more war has, however, been the engrossing nubjset during the week. Peace, of course, must follow the annihilation ol the army oi Mukh tar Pasha on th > one field, and that of Osman on the other; bat bow? and when? Turkey has no force left rinvt is worthy the n one of an artuy. - , therefore, appealed to the Euro- powers for mediation on the it o: the protocol ol the Cunstanu- n.'t ie conference of December, 1876— urrni that she indignantly rejected at Uie time. Her ap(>©*l has been reject .1 almost unaniinoualy. France and Ir-dy, it .is true, indorse Turkey's re ;e-t for mediation, but they are only viuua the European rht-nedxwud. Germ anv, the master cl the aitoation, is and all along has been in secret alliance with. Kama. She will not nly sot mediafe.bat the doubtless pro- ppres to see that no other power intei fores in the settlement between the two belligerent powers. Austria's neutrality is tbe retail of promises of a share in tbe spoils, either in tbe shape of more & la vie territory or in the neutralization cf the Dmabe. Ger many and Austria, therefore, prseti cal'y say that Turkey should seek peace (Erectly from Russia. Ei gland stands alone in anti-Russian prodivitiee. "The three emperors” are inclined to disregaid her interests. What will she do ? She has no France to lean upon in this contest againt-t t‘*e three emperors. Parliament will meet on the 17th of next month, three weeks ahead of tbe asuai time. War materials are going forward to Malta and Gibraltar. The war feeling te rising. Beacon-field is especially warlike, and he is supported by a ma jority of the cabineL It is not bluster—this talk that comes to us over the cable. But- England will net declare war againt Russia, and yet *he , will be hesrd at the council-board of ptace. That ia the meaning of her preparations, path erirg of war material, casting of guns, and the assembling of her parliament. Russia, almost bankrupt, has no idea of fightirg an Anglo-Turkish alliance, there i» sq easier way out of the diffi baity* E^fland cares nothing for tbe integrity of tbe Ottoman empire. She is willing to let it go to pieces if her in terests in the east can be held securely. The mere pccupstion ot Armenia by Russia would not endanger her inter- Mske Constantinople a "tree city” under European protection; let England purchase Egypt, and the problem 16 solved. England would not then care what became of tbe remainder pf Turkey in Europe. She would not, it ia true, like absorption of Syria by Russia, but that U a very improbable event. Give over Egypt to Eagland and she would make it the key to her eastern possessions She controls the Suez canal, and Egyp< owes her three hundred millions. The khedive pays the sultan about three millions annual tribute, and this Eng land can bny. This is understood to be’ England's programme, and the in dications are that she wid carry her point, and that, too, without an expen diture of blood or treasure. A WORD TO 7 HE PUBLIC. We desire to say just one word in behalf of an institution that we are sure stands high in the love acd esteem of nil Allantians—the Young lien's Li brary. The fair now in progress for the benefit of that institution was com menced under most discouraging cir cumstances. Coming upon the heel of several protracted and depletive fairs, it bad the additional disadvantage of meeting tbe rainy season just half-way, and of breaking into the Christmas risation. While the ladies have all worked nobly and the friends of the library have all done their duty the results have not yet reached that figure that the directors desired to reach, and which the essential interests of the li brary demand shall be reached. It is simply necessary to the prosperity and sof tbe library that tbe profits of the fair shall be carried to a higher figure than they have attained up to this time. In consequence of this the directors have determined to prolong the lair through the coming week. They have rented the Concordia hall, one of tbe completest and best appointed places in the city. The tables have hardly been diminished and still groan benvatb beautiful, valuable and tooth, some things. Many of the most interesting races are still in pro gress, and the fair as a whole is just in its hey-day. Conscious of the fact that It u a serious matter to ask the ladies and the general public to continue their arduous work and liberal patron age for another week, the manage^ nevertheless appeal to both with con fidence. They base their appeal upon the good that the library has done, tbe esteem in which it is held, the fature that it may reach, the need that itlhae for money. They feel that this appeal will be honored. The ladies have, almost without exception, agreed to lend their service to the good work^md that the public will follow their good example there is hardly a doubt The library muat have the $3,000 for which it started, when the fair was first projected. A good week's work will get it Let us all unite and make one more trial. BUIXU IX Tins MOP PUT MCGI8TJSU, The annual of iL« cnnunU. sioner of internal reveuue contains some facts relative to the trade in li quors, of interest at least to the social reformer, and, in view of the Virginia experiment, to the political economist The following table shows whore the Moflet register would bring the largest returns, the states being given in the order of magnitude of thistratic: 'I |!|sS| ; 2 1 » j§ 2 I t *3(51 2 (Kilo IIllllOl* Ti-mwim MirmcmiU .

The total number ol wholesale liquor dealers was 4.001; brewers, 2,758; rectifiers, 1,130; distill" era, 3,002. Them' figures aic compiled from i he licensee issued l>y thejr tvern- ment, and are therefore under esti mates. The thousand of places wheie liquor is sold illegitimately, are not in cluded. But take these otlirial statis tics, it is plain that the Moduli register would produce a handsome income in other states than Virginia. The time is c.'iuiug when the tinkle of its little bull wiil l>e heard all over the laud, even down in Maine where there are 102 licensed sa onus, in spite of a str.ngent prohibitory law. 1UK TKUMUAPU ASM MKHSKSOldl.

I is true it is not a weekly paper, bm it ia a weakly pai*r, and we c tnuot af ford to give it auy more time.

RKVirjL OP THE IXCOMM TAX In the att'inpt to remodel our tax system for the purpose of bringing relief t».the oppressed industrial and me- chauical dtases, it ia more than proba ble that the committee of waya and means will report in favor oi an income tax. 1: ia probable that their plan wiil include au income tax laid specifically for on© year, and to foil unless renewed by au act of the next congress. The re:mposilion of an income tax has become a popular measure, espe- cudiy in the south and west. At pres ent the northwestern and southern middle states jwy far more interna! taxes than the eastern ani seaboard middle Mates. Minnesota pays more, for an example, than any New Eagland •****“Iv*n:ucky or Virgima more than .uy middle suite. The tobacco raising south and tfce whisky-distillirg west are becoming restive uader the uneven burden. An inc mt* tax would tqualiae the load. I; would put a portion of the expenses of tbe government directly on thr bondholders, and it would doubtless ead to a reduction of the heavy :*x< s an tobacco and ocher articles * f general consumption. While the ooadholdera have been drawing gold interest from the government, the* have managed as a rule to avoid federal Taxation. An income tax is the only «av u> reach them. DEATH OP A 'JKORQIA KBIT OR. It grieves ns to record tbe death ol Captain C. E. Caines, editor oi the Ir- winton Southerner and Appeal, which occurred at his .home last Wednesday. His illness, which was pneumonia, was of thort duration and his friends among the editorial fraternity ol Georgia will be shocked to hear that he dead. His genial presence, and gentle courtesy wdl long be missed at the an nual gathering of the press association. As an editor and as a writer. Captain Camus posseesed the rare quality oi individuality. The Appeal, under his control, was, first and foremost,a thor oughly load paper. Not an item of terest escaped the industry of the edi tor, not a fact of local import was al lowed to go unchrouicled. This, itself, was enough to make the i>aper popular in its section, but, owing to the peculiar style of Captain Carnes' writings, the appeal was more than popular. What these writings lacked in culture they made ap in directness nd simplicit/. His style was shrewd, sensible and humorous, and charac terized always by a ctrlsiti flavor honielineis that frequently made deligh t' il. lV.ire to the ashes oi oui friend! The commission on railway and mail transportation,of which Ex-Mayo f 1'niladelphia, is a member, wil submit thrie reports 6«on after tin reassembling of congress. One repor will be devoted to railway mail service, one to service on what are commonly called "tStar” routes, including a’l ex cept raiirosds ami steamboats, and the third w 1! discuss the question of ocean mail transportation. "Increased facili- for the southern states will bo commended, aud it is probable that the rb-esUibliHhuient in soiuo form of fast mail service by means of special pus tal trains between the principal cities east and west wilt be advised.” This in plain E-iglish means that s|>ec trains are needed between Chicago and New York, but that "increased facili- tW' will do lietween New Orleaus and New Yoik. The south had uo repre sentative on the ci-uimission, and iU re) orts should be handled without goves.

Senator McDonald,of Indiana, say** that out of the thirty-six democratic senators, only ►even—Messrs. Kernan. E (ton, Bayard, Davis, Hill, Lamar and SauUbury—will vote against the silver bill. If Messrs. Hill, Lamar and Davis of Wes*. Virginia, vote in accordance with the overwhelming sentiment of their respective states, the democratic opposition would be confiacd to the four senators from the middle and east ern states.

It is an nounced that they have submitted to the last "shave,” and that Tennessee must now pay or repudiate. It will be interesting to see what Tennessee will do, but there is reason to fear that a state which will repudiate half a debt wiU be only too glad of a chance to wipeout the whole.—New York Trib une, rep. —Much to the surprise of his con stituents, and certainly contrary to the views of the people of Georgia, Senator B.

It appeared to be building upon the ruin of the south. But suddenlv its hthric tumbled into ilie tuire and crumbled away, and in the wreck the south appeared, broken distorted, but patient and earnest, struggling, full oi hope. While the north had been buildiug at the expense of the south, w hich it was oppressing aud crushing, the south was acquiring habits of economy, frugality, patient industry. Now the people of the north can, with poor grace, complain that we have learned the economical ha! its which built New England on a granite rock. The same patient industry and energy applied in our climate, to our soil, and with oar resources and advantages, will give ns a prosperity beyond anything ever witnessed on earth. .Surely the north cannot envy us now. The spleudiJ glamour of slave aristocracy is gone. The ephe meral prosperity oi that day melted before their envy and hostility. There is nothing in our slow, toilsome but sure march upward to attract envious attention, or to arouie another sec tional crusade. Our systems of labor are now alike. There' is uo destruc tive difference in industrial or political systems. We are to advance by the same toil, aud to accumulate by the same frugality, and a solid south means only a people uuited in a na tional policy fitted to advance all parts ol our country by advancing one part of iL It is equally applicable to tbe other. It is national—democratic. It tae south advances more rapidly, it will be because she has, with equal energy, advantages in soil, climate, resources and natural transpartation facilities. When the sectional clamor of disap** pointed politicians is out of the way and silenced by a people who perceive their own interests, we shall hear less of the solid south. That the south has attained to this position iu a struggle with a conquering power is assurance oi the energy, patience acd greatness of her people, and assurance that in the path of progress she will accomplish something great for herself and f >r the country oi which she is a part.—Nash ville American, dem.

This may be "hard” to believe but it is true. —Chas. Chapman, or Jno. A. Miller, who was arrested recently in SL John’s, New Brunswick, tor forgery, is well known in Augusta. Tbe Chroni cle and Constitutionalist says that Miller came to Augusta soon after the war, ard becoming agent of the South- ern Life, traveled through the country and gaioed considerable reputation for his energy and success in his line of business, having induced a large num ber of people in the southern states, and particularly in Georgia and 8outh Carolina, to take out policies in the company then represented by him. Just before the collapse of the South ern life he became agent of the Cotton States life Insurance company and es tablished an office in this city. Iu November of 1876 Miller obtained large amount of money, by some esti mated as high as $15,000, from various merchants in Augusta, ou paper pur porting to have been signed by respon sible parties in South Carolina and else* where, and accepted by merchants in Charleston and other cities. In some instances he paid small debts due by him with large drafts, receiving in each instance the sum over and above the amount due, so as to make up the face of the draft. Messrs. James G. Bailie A Bro. were among the firms who thus received drafts from him and paid out money in exchange. Miller owed the firm $225, for which he had given three notes oi $75 each. The first of these notes fell due in October, 1876. but was not met at maturity. Soon afterwards Miller called on Mr. James G. Biilie and s.iid he was sorry the note had not been paid. But he was absent from the city when it fe.l due. Ha was ready to pay it now, and asked Mr. Htilie if he M ould not take a druft signed by Mrs H muah P. Warring, of Florence, 8-C. and accepted by Rogers, Pelzer A Co , of Charleston, for $380 25. and payable in January following, said draft being for insurance premiums due at that time! Mr. Bailie carried the draft to former citizen of Charleston, who at sured him that the firm by whom the draft purported to have been signed was one of.the strongest in Charleston, not dreaming, as a matter of course, that the signature was not genuine. Mr. Bailie then took the drait from Mil ler, deducting the $75 due for the note, ard paying him back $314 25. The next note, falling due in November, he t'Mik up with a draft signed by Boyd Brunson, Mars Bluff, >S.C , and accepted (apparently) by Win. C. Bee «St Co., of Charleston. This draft w as for $350 28, and payable January, 1857. Air. Bailie first ascertained that Wiu.C. Bee &Co. stood high iu Charleston. On this oc* caaion Miller _ received $284 28 in change. Thu tbiul note for $75 wasdue December 15,1876, but before tiie first of December Miller called upon Mr. Bailie, told him tliat he was about t > leave town on a business trip, and would like to pay the note before he left. This time lie presented a draft for $239 50, signed J. G. Towns, Ches ter, 18 C., and accepted by Rog ers, Pelzer A Co., of Charleston, Mr. Baillie took the draft and gave Mi ler back bis note for $75 and $164 50 il money. On the 1st of December follow ing Miller left Augusta and has not re turned since. Whan the lrtof January arrived Mr. Bailie forwarded his drafis to Charleston, and then, ascertained that they were forgeries. Neither the signatures to the drafts nor these of the acceptors were genuine. Similar dis coveries were made by other firms and citizens who had taken drafts from Mil ler and given him monev iu exchange. As soon as he ascertained that, the drafts were forgeries, Mr. Baillie determined to use every effort to secure the arrest and punishment of Miller. He had a number of small circulars printed, giv ing a description of him and offering a reward for his arrest, and circulated them throughout this country and Europe. He heard of him several times, but Miller, in each instance, man aged to get out of tbe way before he was caughL Last summer Mr. Bailie received information that Miller had been spotted iu Montreal, Canada, and he at once sent an officer from Augusta to that city, but the man there pioved not to be Miller. On Saturday, tne 24th of last month, Mr. Bailie received a telegram from Detective Wren, of Richmond, Va., telling him that Miller wasin Riston. Mr. Bailie immediately started hia son, Mr. Robert C. Bailie, for Boston, the necessary papers to se cure Miller's arrest being already with the governor of Massachusetts. Mi. Robert B. Bailie proceeded directly u Boston, but found on his arrival there that the bird had flown. Bat he was not so easily daunted, and after close search, ascertained that Miller was at Fredericktown, New Brunswick. He at once followed him to that place and had him arrested. Millei\ aa appeals from the above telegram, was passing under the name oi Charles Chapman. The proper extradition papers liave long since been in the hands of the Dominion authorities, and the exam i ation yesterday very probablv xe (•tilled in the turning over of Miller U. Mr. Ba l e. Mr. James G. Bailie’s first intimation of the arrest of Mi.ler was contained in a telegram forwarded to him last Tuesday by Chief of Police Savage, of Boston.

Father Hamilton, who supposed that Miller was all nghL While conversing with the arch bishop, Miller learned that he was paying 12 per cent, interest on $30,000 borrowed money. He at ODce told him that there was no nec< saity for his pay ing such a rate of interest as that, as the insurance company which he represented would gladly ban him the amount at 7 per cent.,' and that he won id negotiate tbe matter if he de sired it. The archbishop thankeu him and *aid he would gladly accept l.ia services, as he would be delighted to save five per cenL per annum ou so large an amcunL Miller went off and in a short time returned with a note fur $30 000, which he requested the archbishop to sign and he would then get him the money at once.

Tbe removal of the debris, which was begun at 2 o’clock, has pro ceeded 60 far that the street is clear to the outside of the sidewalk in front of theruins. Ou the opposite sidewalk, lying under the blocd-stained tarpau lin, are the bodies of a man and bov, which were taken from the ruins on tne sidewalk this morning.:. When found the bodies were lyina in front of tbe door. Both had evidently been struck with the heavy stone cap] ‘ which still lay across the boy's and which it was necessary to lift be fore the body could be removed. One body was recognized as that of Wm. H. Bradley, 120 Eckford street, Brook lyn. The other is probably that of Wm. Bennett, a newsboy. The mother of the boy keeps a news stand at Barclay street ferry, and sent him yesterday afternoon as usual for the last editions of the evening papers. He did not return, and was, it is now evident, passing the factory at the time oi the explosion. DIGGING IN THE RUINS. Two hundred workmen, besides the firemen, are now digging in the ruins, and a strong police force is needed to keep bBck the great crowds pressing down upon tnem. The ruins could not be more complete than they are, for scarcely a fragment of the wail is standing, and indeed none whatever ou the ground occupied by the main building, a space of about one hundred feet square.

STATEMENT OF TITR ENGINEER'S WIFE. Philip Ilerlzbach, the engineer the factory, baa not been seen since the exploeion. His wife says that her hubtiand, on his return from work Monday night, told her one of the tube s of the boiler, or some pipe con necting with it—she was not sure which—had burst; tliat he had spoken to Mr. Greeufield, saying the break was dangerous and might cause an ex pionion if it were not repaired, and that Mr. Greenfield told him they must try to get along with it as it waa, until Sunday, owing to the pressure ol busi ness. Mrs. Ilerlzbach said her hus band was greatly disturbed in mind on account of this, often referring to it during the week and saying be wat- afraid every morning to go to his work Yesterday merning, when he ltfi home, he fold her he never expected see ber again. Ilertzbach was thirty five years old and lived iu Fifty -second street. A THEORY OF THE EXPLOSION. Two men, who rescued two girls, say they had been told by workmen iu the starch room, on the second floor, that Uie fire was caused by Ihe explosion ol a kerosene lamp in the room. They asserted that the fi.iely powdered starch used in the manufacture of gum drops was explosive, aud that the explosion was caused in this way. They did not believe the boiler exploded, asserting that, it would have blown up the side walk beneath which it was situated. A man named Hiein says he went down to the boiler room only about five minutes before tbe tire occurred,to obtain a can'of water, ilcr.zb .ch, Uie engineer, was then at bis post, and rak ix g out the fires.
