deep. This work was directly In charge of
Gen. William Booy Smith, chief engineer,
and was not let by eontoset in any part.
The masonry of the piers was begun in Sep

Interesting Insurance Case.
An interesting case has just been tried
at OlnoinuKU. x* win 1,0 lomembered
that a year ago a terrible explosion oo-
curred in tbe Washburn Mill, at Minneap
olis, Minn., by which several people were
killed and thebnilding destroyed with all
Its content*. There was an Inauranoe
upon the property of $215,000, distribu
ted among no less than 107 companies,
and all but fifteen of the number paid
over tho amount of their policies without
protest. Moat of the others were Cincin
nati companies, and a test oase l
brought to trial abont ten days ago.
The policy contained a olanse exempt
ing the company from - loe3 by fire explo
sion, and their claim, was that the des
truction of the mill was due to an explo
sion which produced the fire that bnrned
it down. Ex-Governor Washburn, how
ever, claimed that the trouble begin with
a fire whieh onlminated with the explo
sion, and that consequently the clause in
question did cot relieve tbe insurers from
responsibility. The trial lasted a full
week, but the owner of the mill was able
to prodnee evidence that smoke and
flames were seen by several people bo
fore the explosion, and the jury took only
ten minutes to reach a verdict in his
favor for the full amount daimed with
interest.”
Hois, . uat In 8s|sr.
The Philai.tfi^hia Times, of Taesday,
says it has leak'd oat that a fire occurred
in Gaba, abon. tbe middle of last monib,
which attained so great proportions that
it is likely to have a serious effect upon
the price of sugar. All that got into the
Havana papers about it waa the statement
that eleven estates had fasen damaged,
but Charles A. Meigs, a prominent New
Yorker, who happened to be in the heat
of tbe region swept over by the flames,
had heatd before he left for home of no
less than sixty-eight large sugar planta
tions wbioh had been deBtoroyed.
One of these plantations, wbioh may be
taken as a type of the olaes, employed
between four and five hundred persons,
and was expected to produce several
thousand hogsheads of sugar, averaging
abont two thousand pounds in weight.
Not only was all tbe machinery of this
plantation, upon which about half a mill
ion dollars had been expended within a
few years, destroyed, bat the fields of
growing sugsr-oane were laid bare and
the whole crop wiped out. Mr. Meigs
met several Cabans who had suffered the
loss of plantations, and from his awn ob
servations and their estimates thinks that
tbe total loss caDnot fall short of a hun
dred millions. It goes without saying
that a loss reaobing, or even approach
ing, such proportions, mnet affect the
prioe of sugar in a way that ooneumers
won’t like.
Bayonet Elections
The bill prohibiting military interfer
ence at elections went to Mr. Hayes for
approval yesterday. There is a decided
conflict of testimony, or rather conjec
ture, about the fate of the bill; bat we
have little or no donbt that it will bo ap
proved. The fact is, the Radical party
is widely divided on the bill. A good
many of them seo that a military super
vision of elections under the direction of
tbe President and his subordinates, is
not a promising platform to go before
the people upon. The Republican poli
ticians have exhausted their powers of
wit and sarcasm in ridiculing popular
apprehensions of what might grow ont of
thu practice, bat not one of them has
brought forward a serious argument to
justify the practice. Blaine’s armory of
ridicule based on tho diminutive numeri
cal force of the army fell to the ground
because, in point of fact, a single sentry,
acting under orders of the government,
represents its authority aa effectually as
a regiment. The point is to put one
set of candidates under ban of the gov
ernment and to give the other the bene
fit of its moral support.
The Washington correspondent of tbe
Sun, reviewing the probability of Haves’
action, says:
Hayes said to-night that he should ap
prove the bill. The Republicans have
little cause to congratulate themselves on
a united party and Executive. The action
of the Republican caucus last night ap
pears to have bad no appreciable influ
ence upon Hayes. Tbe stalwarts have
been flocking to the White Honse to-day
in troope. They have wrestled manfully
with the man whom they put into the
White House, but ne gave tbem little sat
isfaction. He tells his friends that it is
useless for the party in Congress to fight
the bill. In conversation to-night, Hayes
said that he did not regard tbe bill as of
eepecial importance one way or another,
and therefore ehonld approve it. There
was no reason why he should oppose it.
He also defined bis position on the
other politleal legislation pending in Con
gress, saying that he would sign a separ
ate bill providing for a repeal of the ju
ror’s test oath law, but he would unhesi
tatingly veto any bill whioh proposed to
repeal the existing election laws. Mr.
Hayes thinks that there are many
objectionable features in the eleotion
laws, but he would not consent that these
laws should be wiped out in the manner
propoeed by the Democrats, leaving the
elections for members of Congress to bs
conducted without any Federal regula
tions.
Hayes, in a most nonohalant manner,
expressed bia C'mp’ete indifference to
tbe attitnde of the Republioan party on
the question of using troops at the polls.
He said that the course of the Bepnbli-
cans in Congress should not afftot his so*
tion one way or the other in the slightest.
The ArmyApproprlationbtll will be pass
ed again unencumbered with riders, A
separate bill will be introduced to repeal
the lest oath laws, and the appropriations
for the Department of Justice in the Leg
islative, Executive, and Judicial Appro
priation bill will be so itemised and spe
cified that not a dollar osri lawfully be
used for the payment of marshals and su
pervisors of eleotion. It is believed that
Congress will be ready to adjourn by the
10:h of Jane.

Mr. Butterfield is on band with his msg> pera tba* are treating this prolific topic,

had superior amateur helpln any previ
ous presentation of a popular paraphrase
of on9 of tho most striking events in sa
cred history. There are at least six supply aU our wants; i

whom would make a first-olass prime
donna and “bring down” any metropoli -
tan audience in the country. Tho pos
session of this mntioal ; talent
is a rioh treasure to our people, and we
are proud to know that it is appreciated
both at home and abroad. Mrs. Boy kin’s
touch on the organ and piano forte cannot
be excelled, and tbe gentlemen and
ladies who have parts in the programme
are thoroughly enthused with the sub
ject, and will prove most efficient and
admirable dramatis personae. Even in
the adjacent towns swA cities on tbe rail
road, we learn that excursion^ are in con
templation to view this unique and beau
tiful performance.
In this connection, it msy not be amiss
to answer some of the objections urged
by a few honest but rather hypercritical
citizens of the community to the pro
posed exhibition.
They object to the rendition of Bel
shazzar, on tho ground that it makes
common, things that are essentially holy
and scored, and the nee of the name of
the Great Jehovah on the boards of a
theatre is unseeming and irreverent.
This, at first blush would appear to be
fact. But the assertion is not neces
sarily true. All of the principal per
formers are Christians, and the enter
tainment is gotten np and oontrolled by
some of tbe most devout, blameless
and distinguished divines that the conser
vative South can boaBt of. Moreover,
just as the Saviour was wont to illustrate
his heavenly precepts by the aid of par
ables which are simply imaginary con
ceptions, thereby pointing tbe truth
most apposite!/, so may the dramatic re
production of the fall of Babylon’s cor
rupt and luxurious monarch he made far
more striking and impressive when acted
out in vrai semblance to the usually unob
servant reader. Indeed it may be eafely
said that many who will listen to Bel
shazzar had never heard previously that
interesting passage from tbe bible, and
itls not too much to hope that they may
be induced thereby in future to besto
more attention to the sublime revelations
of holy writ.
If such be tbe case, certainly some good
will have been accomplished. Bat
submit that the mention from time to
time of tbe augu3t name of the Deity>
(which should be done with beooming
reverence),will not be a whit more disre*
spectful than the neartless repetitions of
the same by the professional chorister,
and the unconverted singers who so often
actually lead tbe devotional songs of
praise in a vast number of our churches.
If, therefore, the sacred drama of Bel
shazzar is to be tabooed on that score, let
the axe be laid to the root at once and
abolish professional musicians from
our choirB and permit no one eave the
servants of the Living Gcd, to hymn forth
the praises of the Creator in the taber
nacles of tho Most High.
Bat >his would be wrong. Men lose
sight of the instrument, and producers of
these grand strains of sacred melody, in
the holy and devotional emotions in
spired by the pealing organ, and the
sweet ntterauces of thoso who eing the
songs of Zion. If irreverent in their
rendition, then the sin must rest alone
upon those who are guilty of thus offend
ing. We can, therefore, most consist
ently commend to the religious public,
the performance of Belshsuar, and trust
all of our church members of every de
nomination will come out and behold this
startling, life-like representation of one
of the grandest and most solemn events
recorded in the pages of the Bjok of
Life.
One of the earliest recollections of the
writer, was a school exhibition in old
Liberty connty, in which a dialogue was
seted sitting forth tbe combat of David
and Goliah, and even to this day somo of
tbe ringing verses (for it was a poetical
paraphrase) are sounding in bis ear.
The effeot was to engrave indelibly upon
bis plastic mind and invest with addition
al interest and lustre, thq great achieve
ments of Israel’s future King “the man
after 'J d’a own heart.” We repeat, we
can » a nothing to be objeoted to in the
performance of Belshazzar,and the public
should be again rsmindsd - also, that the
labors of the amateurs are sot for per
sonal remuneration, but to aid in the
worthy object of raising a fund to adom
and beautify the neglected campo* of
Macon's pride, Mercer University.
Cool Weather.
The complaint of unseasonably cool
weather comes from both hemispheres.
The London Times of yesterday morning
siya the continued cold northerly winds
in Great Britain are producing an unfa
vorable effect on the cereal and fruit
crops, and unless a change takes place
soon there will be a serious deficit lathe
grain product, whioh will affect tbe price
of money.
That paper also reports from the conti
nent that the cold and backward spring
has so far kept back the growth of the
mulberry leavss that the silk crop of Eu
rope is likely to be seriously affected and
increased importations of raw silk from
China and Japan will demand an increas
ed flow ot silver to the East.
It is to-day (Saturday) the 10th of

There was a time in the earlier history
of the bloody shirt and outrage, opera
tions iu Alabama and Mississippi when
tho zealons ‘‘Republican” functionaries
engaged in getting up “the fearful rec
ord of blood and violence” would every
now and then call a halt in some secluded
forest, and, hanging np their hats and

lacerate them with rifle balls iu a shock
ing manner. Then going to the nearest

and knklnx desperation that wonld fire the
Northern heart with fresh indignation
John Sherman, who is always thoroughly
posted, no doubt caught tbe idea of tbo
Eliza Pinkston tragedy from these per
formances.
Bat this plan of employing so-called
Southern newspapers to talk violently and
abuse the Northern people, at their o wn
pecuniary expense, ia perhaps more in
jurious than any other scheme yet elab
orated or pursued. It ia not precisely a
“high moral idea,” but it is a sharp one.
In this way tbe Republican committees
can receive precisely the kind and quan
tity of inflammatory talk demanded by
the necessities of the campaign and the
etate of the public mind. If the Ohio

If a red heat, fire, thunder and lighten

Washington, Ms j 8 th, 1879.
ABHIAXDOWN,
Or something that to me, at least, closely
resembled it, marked the coarse of the
Radicals in the House yestsrday, with
reference to the new bill reported by the
Jndiciary Committee forbidding the pres
ence of troops at the polls. They had re
solved, the night before in joint caucus,
the mighty Conkling and that aggravat
ing, dyspeptic Elmunds inciting thereto,
that the bill should be fought to the
death, and everybody expected the strug
gle would be long and sharp. But their

through by 84 majority, all the Green-

Radical opposition only counting 90 votes

the performance in the House fell so far
short of the promise of the oanous, bnt
Ihefaot so stands. Perhaps they were
assured that Hsyes would repeat his veto
performance, and therefore felt it unne
cessary to worry and bedevil tbemseives

Hayes will not veto it, and maybe it is
staling a faot whioh is positively known to
some of the party in tbe House, and the?
are too ntterly disgusted with him tom ks
further fight. Bd that as it may, toe
fact stands that the bill went through
without trouble. That it will aleo pass
the Senate goes without baying, bnt hard
ly without a flood of gab Conkling and
Edmunds were very conspicuous iu the
cauous Monday night, and are expected
to spit tbeir usual amount of venom at

the way, is needing a lesson iu manners
more, juat now, than any ill bred, inso
lent rufflsr iu either Honse. He is liter
ally spoiling for it, and ehonld be acoom
modated. Judge Thurman gave himarath-
er mild shake up yesterday, but didn’t go
far enough up to do the subject half just
ice. The trouble is, however, that there are
very few men on our side who can handle
the bully, and none of them, I dare say,
pine to undertake the job. He t's a bully,
but a brainy one, and game to boot. I
would go a long ways to see Carpenter
tackle him, if tbe latter were a Demo
crat, and could do it withent hurting
the party or the South. Bat that ia the
trouble withal! this partisan fighting.
We oxn’t punish the blackguards and

ery pretty qusrel, until Logon

lost in the sympathy for the English lan
guage and grammar inspired by his un
usually violent assault upon both. Old
u»an 8aulsbury, who is generally as dull
as he is decorous, warmed up amazingly
under Some of Logan’s insolence, and
surprised everybody by giving the latter Inge. Yesterday morning at nine o’olock
one or two sharp digs, whioh plainly
ready for any soft of row,
took a hand with his usual
Blaine
and he also took
swagger and bounce. Then Voorhees
tackled him, and thero was some ot as
neat sparring as I have seen this session.
Blaine must have torn his shirt or some
other garment, for he did an unusual
amount of ranting and cavorting and
striding np and down the aisles.
But I think he was decidedly
“groggy” before Voorhees turned him
loose. The session lasted till nearly
eight o’clock,the Democrats finally adopt
ing the resolntion.

AN OFF COLORED “PINAFOBE.
I went to hear “Pinafore” last night
as rendered by a negro company which
Mr. John T. Ford has had at tbe National
Theatre all this week. I had heard the
opera two or three times before by pro
fessionals of tbe Caucasion race, bnt
these off-colored amateurs went way ahead
of them in some respeots. The Josephine,
a bright mulatto dame of pleasing face
and figure, and an exceptionally fine and
well trained voice, waa simply admirable
and a far better actress than many white
professionals of repute I had seen on the
same and other boards. There were others
of tbe company nearly her equal, and the
entire performance;was one of decided
merit. All these negroes are amateurs
and many of them were never on a stage
before. Tbe choius was one of the best
I ever beard, and quite put in the shade
the one preceding it last week iu the
same theatre This is the first time in
Washington, and I think in this country,
that negroes have appeared on tbe stage
in opera.
ALL tOBTS.
Another Congressional “jewii” ie whis
pered, Kitchen, of North Carolina, Demo
crat, and Russell, Greenback of same
State, being the alleged gore seekers.
Russell beat Alfred Waddell for Congress
in the Wilmington district on the Green
back issue, though he is a notorious
soallawag and used to be
Radical jadge in that State. He
is simply a Radical in disguiee,
and a pretty mean one at that.
Kitchen is a decent man and his
friends say will certainly make Russell
toe the mark or eat humble pie. But
don’t yon bet any money on any saw
bones realizing a fee out of the trouble.
I saw two rather famous women in the
Senate gallery yesterday—“Gail Ham
ilton” and Mrs. Kate Chase Spragne.
They sat near each other, and many
eyes took them in after the manner of
those organs, especially when owned by
women. The former is nearly as ugly as
original sin. Let us hope, however, she
is as agreeable. With alt her conceded
cleverness—in the English eense,I mean—
I don’t donbt but that she would swap
it all for good looks. Mrs. Sprague
is very handsome,one of the handsomest
women I have seen here, with a figure to
match her face, and very beautiful eyes
which she evidently knows how to use
effectively. She sat iu a front seat aid I
thought looked in the direction of one
particular seat below, oftener than any
other. Perhaps you can guess tbe oocu-
pant.
Old man Clapp, of the stalwart organ
here, the Republican don’t seem to be
flourishing. His office effects were in the
Sheriff’s hands a day or two since for non
payment of rent, and the owners of the
building threaten to put him in the
street if he doesn’t settle. TimeB have
sadly changed for the old sinner since he
wa3 government piinter under Grant

Tilden’s Chances, according to the
Washington correspondent of the Char

authority declares:
Notwithstanding the apparently prom
ising efforts that are being made in Mr.
Tilden’s behalf, I think it may be safely
asserted that he will not receive the nomi-
nation for the next Presidential raoe, or
for any fntnre one. The fact that such
efforts are being made at this time, bo
far in advance of the canvass, wonld seem
to indicate that his supporters, whoever

Uniting the best elements known to the

I hardly think he will bother Chalmers
again, bnt tbe latter mode a grave mis
take in attempting to vindicate himself.
The Radicals wonld not be oonvlnoed if
an angel took the stand for Chalmers, or
at least wonld not admit it. With his
own people he needs no vindi
cation. Why stir the matter, then?
Ont of just suoh things oomes
nutriment for the vile schemes

can Jacobinism feeds. If I had my way
there ahonld not be another speech made
in reply to, nor the slightest notice taken
of any charge, insinuation, or lie that
these people could make or hatch here
in Congress. Democrats, and especially
Sonthein Democrats, give themselves
away when they notice these slanders.
That was plainly proven yesterday by
the eagerness shown by the Radicals to
commence and continue the row over the
Fort Pillow matter. If the Democrats
in Congress had as ranch prudence as
pluck, and knew as well how to
hold as they do to wag their
tongues, it would be a blessed
thing for the country, and the biggest
sort of a boon tor the party. It all comes
out of one lack— discipline. There’s the
whole story in one word. For lack of

Democrats.

of the grand jury attracted great atten

touched upon were just what the people
at large seem to desire. All appeared to
agree that the judiciary system of the

tion, tub tbe manner in which the recalci
trant jury prooeeded to effeot these re
forms is generally considered ts some
what ill-advised. The pricoipal
oausea for complaint is the
aws, delay and cause great expense.
The right ot the grand jury to go into
such matters seems to be a mooted one.
Some contend that they have a right to
overlook all matters affecting the county,
but within certain bounds, others con
tend that the jury has clearly orerieaped
its authority and gone into matters unau
thorized. The re-acllon in favor of the
jury was great. It is on the side of
lessening taxation, and that is always the
popular side.
The very action of the jury which was
not allowed to go on the minnlea ot the
Court, will go far toward correcting tbe
shortcomings complained of. We are
glad to be able to state that under the
administration of Judge Simmons the
business of the Court ia baing pushed
forward with commendable zeal. The ex
