Tlie Big Ships Going to the
Bottom—Trouble Ahead.
The announcement of the suspension of
tho houses and various branches of the
great bankers, Jay, Cooke & Co., else
where printed, will create profound as
tonishment, and, we fear, wide-spread
disaster in financial circles in this coun
try. That firm was one of the strongest
in the country, and the prime favorite of
the government in all its monetary deal
ings. at home and abroad. It has, for
many years, almost,carried the credit of
tho government upon its shoulders, and
we should almost as soon thought of
disaster in connection with it as with
the treasury itself. It’s fall cannot fail
to carry with it that of dozens of others
of lesser strength, and the end cannot yet
yet be foretold. At this hour of writing
we are not in possession of any informa
tion concerning the momentous event
further than that it has happened. Our
telegrams to-night will doubtless furnish
the details and to them we refer our
readers.
Shreveport.
As the attention of the country is now
so universally and painfully directed to
this point, some information about it may
not be without interest.
It is on tho west bank of Bed river, in
North Louisiana, three hundred miles by
land from Baton Rouge, and thirty miles
below the "great raft”—the limit of nav
igation for boats of a large size. It was
a thriving, busy town, with daily com
munication, both by water and rail, with
New Orleans and all points of the coun
try. A very large business was carried
on, both in cotton and cattle—from
Texas—shipping large quantities of both.
The population, according to the last
census, was about 4,600’ of which nearly
2,500 were white.
Lively Times in Charleston.
The Radicals and Conservatives of
Charleston are putting on their war paint
for the big municipal battle in October.
The former held their convention to nom
inate a candidate for Mayor on Monday
afternoon but didn’t finish the job until
the-next day. The candidates were Gen.
■William Gurney, an ex-Federal officer
who settled in Charleston after the war,
and who was Gov. Moses* man, and E.
W. M. Mackey, member of the delecta
ble familyof that name. The News and
Courier of Tuesday says there was any
amount of bowling, fighting, and " cussin”
varied by frequent adjournments by the.
crowd to " licker up,” and by the turn
ing off of the gas, and the refusal of the
janiior cf the hall to light up again until
stamps to the amount of L one dollar was
forthcoming. The entire crowd couldn’t
raise that amount, bnt some white men
went security for them and then the fun
recommenced. The Gumeyites secured
the re-organization of the convention and
everything was working lovely for Gurney
when that the person entered the hall.
What ensued News and Courierrelates as
follows:
About half-past two o’clock in the
morning the convention had voted on the
last contested delegation in which the
Mackey delegates were defeated. About
this time Gen. Gurney, one of the Re
publican candidates for the mayoralty,
came into the ball- It was an unfortu
nate time. The Mackey men, under the
pressure of the defeat, were wrothy, and
several of them made a rush at General
Gurney. One of them whipped out a
pistol, and the crowd, friends and foes,
gathered up in one comer of the room in
a confused mob. This, as may be imag
ined, had a very demoralizing effect upon
the members of the convention. The
more weak-kneed fled in dismay, and in
a few moments the hall was emptied of
every one except those who were strug
gling over the candidate.
General Gurney finally got out of the
hall and the Convention adjourned until
12 o’clock to-day.
The convention met again on Tuesday,
and after a big row, kicked both Mackey
and Gurney overboard, and nominated a
scallawag named George I. Cunningham,
a man of some properly and decency, for
Mayor. After the convention adjourned
a large body of negroes who had been
assisting in its deliberations, marched off
singing, "Down with the Yankees,” to
the tune of "Rally around the Flag,
Boys”—from which we infer that the
African stomach in Charleston is rather
sour at present towards the carpet-bag
gers.
The Conservatives held ward meetings
on Monday night to select delegates to
their convention, and also had a stormy
time. In three or four wards there was
much rowdyism and disorder, caused by
gangs of negroes who had been sent by
their owners, the Radical leaders, to
break up the meetings, and no result was
reached in some of them. Enough dele
gates, however, were chosen favorable to

in these Credit Mobilier times, to inquire
into the matter.

Will Live to Regret It.
“We fear the Mississippi Democrats will
live to regret not nominating a State
ticket at Meridian on Wednesday. They
are the first to formally disband the
grand old organization and leave the
rank and file to sMft for themselves—to
stray into dubious paths, and become
houseless, homeless wanderers. The ob
ject, we suppose, is to throw the support
of the party to Ale- -m as against Ames,
but how, or by what right shall the lead
ers control the masses of the party after
thos turning them out of the old church,
locking the doors and bidding them go
their way ? We predict that it will re
sult just as disastrously as did the Greeley
movement last. year. There are thous
ands of Democrats in Mississippi who will
not vote for Alcorn any more than they
will for Ames. They will sulk in their
tents rather than wear the colors and
inarch under the banner of either.
They owe Alcorn nothing and Ames
less. It was Alcorn who engineered the
machinery of Radical reconstruction in
Mississippi. He founded the Radical
party in that State, and has been one of
its stoutest champions in all the South.
He has never failed to give Grant and
his administration a hearty support as
against the Southern people, and would
never have lifted the standard of revolt-
against the Grant party had he not felt
himself menaced with loss of power and.
patronage in the State. His rival, Ames,
has the ear of the administration; he con
trols the Federal appointments, audit is
upon the heads of his special friends falls
the golden shower of the spoils. Alcorn
has been snubbed—June iUae lachrymae.
Hence his new bom zeal and love for the
wMte people of Mississippi. After hav
ing assisted to bind and turn them over
manacled band and foot to tbe white and
black tMeves aud tyrants of that State,
he now calls upon them to save him from
the same fate. His personal fortunes are
in danger, and he cries to his victims to
rally to his rescue.
And they have done it, weakly, foolish 1
ly and fatally as we think, and as time
will show. The Democratic party of
Mississippi has been temporarily dis
banded in order that Alcorn may have
some show against Ames. He hasn’t the
ghost of a hope from any other quarter.
The negroes will vote solid for Ames.
They move at the word of command, and
that has been given from Washington.
Ames will carry tbe State by fair mean*
or fouL Alcorn will be crushed, and the
wMtes of Mississippi hopelessly distracted
and divided. If the Democratic leaders
of that State think these results are
worth the risks they are taking, it is
their affair. If they can stand it others
can. With the fate of the’Greeley exper
iment so fresh in their minds they have
decided to repeat it, and under circum
stances not nearly so favorable. We do
not like the role of Cassendra, bnt if they
do not repent it in 6ockcloth and ashes,
and from tho depths of a political desola
tion more utterly hopeless than any that
has yet befallen them, then experience is
worthless and history a lie.

It is supposed they were in bathing, as
their clothes were all found on a sand
bar, and ventured too far into the current.
These ladies were found about two hun

their clothes were, in a deep eddy or bole.
The place of the accident is about six or
seven miles from Thomasville.

Game Laws.—In the counties of Chat

put a prohibition on the shooting of game
between tbe months of April and Octo

gun-bearing negroes who pretended to be
hunting “birds.” The prospect for pork
is now excellent. We join our neighbor

BURIED ALIVE.
Terrible Tragedy In Columbia County
Wls.—Four Children Entombed at
Play—Three Smothered In the Sand.
From the Columbus (Wis.) Democrat, Sept. 5.
The farm and the commodious home
stead of Henry Niemeyer is situated two
miles from this village, on the road
towards Hampden. Last Monday after
noon Niemeyer had six bright, healthy
children, all of tender ages, romping away
their happy hours, as careless of impend
ing evil as is the butterfly. Before even
ing the mortal harvester had garnered
three of them.
Shortly after 2 o’clock, Mrs. Niemeyer
saw three of her little boys at the front
gate. The youngest was crying, and she
sent the • sister Emma out playing with
them for awhile, and to bring Mm in for
a nap. TMs wa£ the last time she ever
saw three, of her children alive. Thirty
or forty rods-from the house and three or
four rods back from toeMghway is a little
knoll wMch contains good sand, many
loads of wMch have been drawn away ‘
from time to time. The excavation which
remains is trifling, however, and a passer
by would as soon suspect danger to be
lurking in a dooryard as in that slight de-
pressior. #
Formerly, this had been a favorite re
sort for the children, but they had been
forbidden to go there, and had even been
punished for so doing, and bad not visited
the place for a long time. Doubtless,
they wandered down that way, and could
not resist the fascination that sand lias
for all tiny hands. That forenoon, Mr.
Starkweather, without Niemeyer’s knowl
edge, had sent Fred Hicks to the spot
after one or more loads. Probably the
cavity left was hardly of sufficient size to
back a cart into. The surface is of clay
or loam; the rains of Saturday night had
„ _. rendered it heavier than usual, and it
rangements have been made by which a f e u j lls t a t that time of all others, when
large force will be put to work at once these innocents were beneath it. Thus
upon the road (the convicts at the peni
tentiary having been hired for the pur-
purpose), and it is expected to have every-
tMng in good older by tho 1st of October.
TMs connection with toe Central boats
will prevent toe putting of any more
steamers on the river. Such was said to
be the intention of the railroad company.
This agreement stops that.
A Macon Negro Captured.—Sunday
evening, in Macon, a negro ruffian, Aaron
Bond by name, attempted to rape a col
ored girl, aged about eleven 'years. He
enticed the child into an unoccupied
house. His design was frustrated by the
appearance of too mother. The villain
escaped the vigilance of the Macon po
licemen. Information was given our offi
cers by Conductor Dense, who could only
describe the rascal by saying he was a
large negro with a grin oil his face. With
these data our officers went to work, and
last night Capt. Cash and private Smith
succeeded in capturing toe negro in a
house on Front street, and lodged Mm in
toe guard house. The negro has admit
ted everything. The Macon authorities
have been telegraphed concerning toe
capture.
Little Northern Hat to be Used.—
It is expected that very little Northern
hay will be used in this section the pres
ent season. Planters are beginning to
pay attention to saving and curing their
own grass. We know of a few farmers
who sold several hundred bales in this
market last season. They were well paid
for their trouble. That this example is
to be followed is shown by the fact that
Holstead & Co. have sold .this fall nine
Buckeye reapers, and could have dis
posed of a few others had. they had them.
In the correspondence between Messrs.
Hooper, of Opelika, and Lay, of Atlanta,
who; were toe friends, respectively, of
Messrs. Waddell and Phillips in their re
cent difficulty, we find the following
statement made to Hooper by Lay, and
quoted by tbe former in a letter to tbe
latter. Colonel Lay, it seems, is not a
very healthy man to fool with. We
quote:
Colonel Lay (rising with profound
bow—Yes, Colonel, I have been engaged
in forty-two affairs of honor as principal
and second, and I concur with you fully
in your suggestions. It is toe duty of a
second to prevent a resort to arms if pos
sible. I recollect in one Of toe first duels
I ever fought, I came very near losing my
life by having a fool for a second. He
allowed me to fight toe best swordsman
in Europe with a rapier. I, at that time,
was not so proficient as I am now in the
use of that weapon, and considered my
life as good as lost, but met my antago
nist, and, after parrying a few of his
thrusts, was compelled to allow hun to
pass his sword entirely through my
stomach, toe point coming out at my
backbone. As I stood thus transfixed, it
occurred to my mind to do an act which
I have never beard of being equalled be
fore or since. I, with my left hand, with
remarkable presence of mind, coolness
and firmness, seized my adversary’s blade,
holding it so firmly that he could neither
turn it in me or poll it out, and in that
position, plunged iny sword entirely
through my adversary’s left breast up to
the hilt, just one inch and a half above
his heart; and what is remarkable is,
that we both recovered —and thereupon,
you removed a portion of your clothing
and pointed to the spot.
It took fifty-one hounds five or six hours
to catch three foxes up in Spalding coun
ty last Tuesday, and the Griffin News
calls it “a royal old fox hunt.” We
should think that many dogs ought to
have caught all tho foxes in Spalding
county in about half an hour.

FOREIGN NOTES.
Prepared for the Telegraph and Messenger.]
From Germany reach us the lamentations
of toe Catholic bishops, who continue to re
sist the ecclesiastical laws. Seminaries
wMch refuse to' comply with the new reg
ulations axe closed, resistant priests are
arrested and sentenced, and all attempts
of the church to stay the laws of the
country have, so far, been unsuccessful.
To tbe Bishop of Paderborn the action of
the State appears so monstrous that he
compares it to another persecution of the
Christians, worse than that under the
Roman Emperor Diocletian. We are in
formed by reliable sources that tho Gov
ernment, which was at first -disposed to
administer toe now laws with great for
bearance, has decided to carry them
strictly into effect. The most important
conflict now pending is that with Count
Ledochowski, Archbishop of Gresen and
Posen, who, replying to a request of the
authorities to come to an understanding'
in reference to the Catholic seminaries,
has openly set the lawB of the State at
defiance. -It is said that the Catholic
bishops in Germany propose to make a
mass demonstration against those laws
by issuing numerous appointments of
priests without attaining first the legally
prescribed authorization, as it is fondly
believed that the Government will shrink
from enforcing too laws, when violated to
such an extent cn masse. Tho High Or
thodox Hessian Protestant Church is copy
ing the ultramontane example, and offer
ing an equally vigorous resistance to the
authority of toe State, and we may there
fore look also for bitter conflicts in the
Protestant camp. Compared to the atti
tude of tho ultramontanes, it is signifi
cant to note what position Betokens, the
first old Catholic bishop, has assumed
toward the State laws.
In the draft of the church organization
just published, paragraph 51 provides
that no one can be appointed a priest
who, besides the usual requirements pre
scribed by the canonical law, does not
possi ss the qualifications demanded by
the laws of too State; paragraph 52 pro
vides that the bishop will consecrate no j
priest, who, besides the qualifications in
dispensable for the dignity of the priestly
state, does not possess the qualifications j
required by special laws in the German !
States, as, for instance, in Prussia, by the
law of May 11th, 1872; paragraph 53 or- I
ders that the priests aro to be elected by ,
the bishop, who will observe the laws of '
the State bearing on this subject.
The unveiling of the Victoria column 5
in Berlin took place amidst the most im
posing ceremonies and the wildest popu
lar enthusiasm on the 3d of September, j
tMs being the anniversary of the capitu
lation of Sedan. The idea of this monu
ment first originated in 11464, after toe
Danish war; but before it could be acted
upon, the war with Austria occurred;
that campaign having ended successfully.
The original ’plan was enlarged; the '
French war, however, again interrupted i
the work; peace being restored, further
additions were made; it being toe pur
pose to commemorate those three cam- 1
paigns hv this triumphal column. The
monument is an immense structure, 193
feet Mgh, crowned by the Goddess of
Victory, and adorned with numerous em- 1
blems and representations commemora-,
tive of the triumphs of German arms.
The most interesting feature of the whole
spectacle was toe reception of Bismarck
by toe crowd. Vfter the draperies had
fallen from the column, the King rode
up the front ranks of the troops and was
enthusiastically received; but when Bis
marck, riding in the royal suite, appear
ed in his white cuirassier uniform, sa
luting the crowd by putting Ms hand
to Ms helmet’s brim, such a deafening
applause and frantic chorus of the as
sembled hundred thousands greeted the ;
founder of German unity as, perhaps, 1
was never heard in Germany before. If
there be satisfaction in seeing his work
appreciated, the great Minister has been
rewarded by this sublime honor of tri
umph ; the deeds of Otto von Bismarck
are forever engraved on the proudest
pages of German history; his name will
abandoned the project of convoking an
extraordinary session of the Assembly
in September, and decided to wait until
November, when their draft proposing
to re-establish the hereditarr monarchy,
will be laid before the Chamber. The
religious pilgrimages are still increasing.
The condition of Spain continues, ap
parently to improve. The Cortes has
conferred extraordinary powers upon
Castolar, who is giving proofs of great
energy and political tact. His first and
principal aim will be to crash the Car list
and Republican insurrections, for wMch
purpose the Cortes has furnished a rein
forcement of $150,000 men and half a
million rifles. Cartagena is still in the
hands of the insurgents.
It is said that the German government
has demanded an indemnity of 376,000
francs for" toe restoration of the Vigilante,
captured by Capt. Werner from toe in
surgents, that sum being the estimate of
the damage done to the Germans in Va
lencia. Another requisition of 250,000
francs will be made for the destruction
of too house of the German Consul at
Almeria by the bombs of the insurgents.

The Biggest Smash Yet—Jay Cook &
Co. Go Up.
New Yokk, September 18.—Jay Cook
& Co. have announced their suspension
in consequence of large advances made
to sustain their Philadelphia house, and
a heavy drain upon their own deposits.
Philadelphia, September 18. — Jay
Cook & Co., have closed doors. There is
a great crowd around..
Washington, September 18. — Jay
Cook & Co. closed doors here to-day.
Jay Cooke & Co. Make a Statement.
-Jay Cooke & Co. make the following
statement: The immediate cause of toe
suspension of Jay Cooke & Co., was the
;e drawings made upon them by their
ladelphia house and their own depos
itors during the last fortnight. Both
houses have suffered a large draw upon
their deposits, in consequence of the un
easy feeling which has recently prevailed
and which has affected, more or less, all
houses closely identified with the new
railroad enterprises, The PhiladelpMa
house had previously been weakened by
large cash advances to tho Northern Pa
cific Railroad Company, of wMch they
were the financial agents.
The business of Jay Cooke. McCullough
& Co., London, is entirely distinct, and
that house is perfectly solvent. So that
it will meet all of its outstanding drafts
and letters of credit, without inconven
ience to travellers, and have a largo cash
surplus to apply to the American house.
The firm of Jay Cooke & Co. audits
members have a large amount of real and
personal property, upon wMch, how
ever, they cannot immediately realize.
They are confident that depositors will
be paid in full.
New York, ' September 18.—Tho ex
citement in consequence of Cooke’s failure
is great. The question is, who next?
Business men attribute the'failure to op
erations in the North Pacific road.
It is feared the National Life Ins trance
Company will go under with Cooke.
It is said that Jay Cooke lost largely

are scattering everywhere the seeds of
discord with toe* present political status,
and fanning the hato , against the Italian
Government. They incite the Romans
not to pay any taxes, not to serve in the
National Guard, and finaly, whisper into
each others ears: “The French will come
soon; before the year is out, Borne will
belong to toe Pope again.”
The Minister of tne Interior is awaj-o
that the Government must be on its
guard. He has already concerted meas
ures with the Prefect of Home. The
Catholic associations are closely watched
and will be dissolved at the first oppor
tunity. Priests, transgressing the lines
prescribed by the law, will at once be ar
rested and held for trial. Next month,
when all ministers will have returned to
Borne, Signor Cantelli, Minister of toe
Interior, will lay before the Council an
elaborate memorial on toe material,
moral and political consequences of the
guarantee laws; and then the Govern
ment will discuss the question of intro
ducing into the Chambers a new draft,
considerably modifying the present Papal
guarantee laws.
The “Fanfulla” states that the congre
gation of bishops and monastic priests
has resolved to require in the future all
those, who wish to enter a religiotis or
der, to cede their worldly goods in legal
form to the superior, aiid to appoint Mm
their power-of-attomey for all legal.acts.
The Superior, on the other hand, pledges
himself to administer all property in the
interest of the monastery, and to will it
to his successor.
An extraordinary committee of Cardi

churches and most of the palaces and
houses owned by clerical proprietors in
Borne. A foreign lady residing in Palazzo
Baggi, on toe Covso, had illuminated her
windows by lampions with toe Papal co'at-
of-arms, when an idle mob quickly gath
ered before the building, and crying:
"Abasso i lumi, non Yogliama il Papa, viva
Vltalia,” indulged in violent threats. As
these had no effect, the crowd opened a
volley of stones against the windows, and
thereby compelled the inmates to remove
the obnoxious lights. - • • \.

F ROM tho results of the use of our Cotton and
Com Fertilizer tho past three seasons, and
the experience with it last season for Wheat, .we
are induced to put up for sale our- mixed chemi
cals for the Full and Winter Crops. The Com
pound is mado upof the same chemicals as our
Cotton and Com Fertilizer, but in different pro
portions, as winter crops will bear more stimu
lating than those grown in summer.
The Compound Contains all the
Elements of Peruvian
Guano,
And will, we think, prove as rapid a forcer as the
best graces. The Wheat Crop is such an impor
tant one to our country that we are anxious to
have our planters use this Compound. It will be
seen that it is even cheajier than Cotton Seed, and
isofgTeat permanent improvement to the soil.
These chemicals not only last one season, but we
know of instances in which they have .been very
plainly perceptible on tbe
THIRD CROP.
The chemicals are all finely pulverized and well
mixed, having been run through a fine seive, and
will readily permeate through the mass.
If it is not convenient to get dry stable or lot
manure, you can use ashes which have been
leached, or diy muck or rich loam. Sand should
not bo mixed with tbe chemicals. Whatever is
used should be moderately dry. The chemicals
are put up ill good tight barrels, well coopered,
and tbree (S) barrels hold 800 pounds net weight.
The price is J2S SO, delivered in the depot at Sfa-
oon, for the 800 pounds of chemicals, cash. Sixty
day ('rafts will be taken as cash. Orders may be
sent to us direct, or through any of our agents.
In Onr Fertilizer business we have associated
with us DR. P. R. HOLT, of Fort Valley. Ga.,
and parties can be supplied with his Fertilizer or
ours, as they may desire.
Wo can sopplr a good article of soluble Phos
