Bounair. Labob Not ArrazoiATED.—
Bonn’s Sunday Transcript, Bepublican, eays
one of our dailies exhibits a plentiful lack of
information and general intelligence by a
comparison between tbs wages of political
work and skilled mannal labor. Wby, there
is justly no moro comparison than exists
between their hours of labor. At six o’clock
in the evening the mechanic’s work is done,
that of the political laborer is hardly more
than commenced. Then the tools of tho
meoharuo are much cheaper than formerly,
while thsro is no difference in tho price of
ths political laborer's implements of trade;
anything like a good, eafo article of whieky
coats fifteen cents a drink now, just as it did
daring tho war, and it is infinitely harder to
‘stand it off.’

SO iut Mahe.—A Washington telegram an
nounces that, a gentleman familiar with
gaUrqad matters pending before Congress
ujatba) OU3 mil ffWbs rnsA«
this winter to get a subsidy for the Texas
Pacifi:. He thinks that the attempt will not
meet with success, and wonders that the
haokeis of the enterprise should bo so credo,
loos as to was to any effort npon so vain an
undertaking. Ho thinks that thomini&ers
themselves are deluded by their lobbyist
friends, whoso occupation would otherwise
bo gono. This same gentleman, who is
deeply interested in railroad matters, says
that, aside from this winter, when cither
party, in view of the Proti Untlal contest,
wan’d hesitate long bofore voting for a sob-
sidy, he does not believe there will ever
come a time when Congress will again vote
a subsidy for railroads. He thought public
sentiment was so greatly against it that it
would control the action of Congress.
—The official report recently made to the
Bnaaian Government respecting the lodgings
the working people of St. Petersburg, is
fall of carious faots. There are In that city
17,000 lodging places of batons room, and
the average number of residents of each of
these rooms is frem four to five percoue.
Booms of this class are mostly cellars be-
the water level, damp and unwholesome.
There are about 9,000 lodgings in which eseb
corner of tho room is asei^ned to different
occupants, and som:times a room is divided
into six or even eight corners for as many
persons. In many of these places whole
families, including tut binds, wives, and
children are to be foo ad. In St Peterabn g,
also, there aro many thousand workingmen
who toJ#s at ni|kt on the floors of the fac
tories in which they work by dry. Tbo suf
ferings of tbs people here referred to during
tho severe winters of Bt. Petersburg, are
easily aeen'by studying the official report that
contains these statistics,
The Savannah Ktver Jetties.
Since tho wonderful achievement of
Capt. Eads in doubling the depth of
the main channel of the great Missis
sippi, the method he has of foroing the
stream to do its own dredging by ob
structing a portion of the water, and
forcing the remaiader through narrow
confines, is likely to coma into general
use in all of our rivers which will admit
of the experiment.
A few days since, when in Savannah,
the writer had the pleasure of meeting
Mr. D. V. Howell, the engineer wlo has
tho contract from the government for
abstracting the Savannah back river, with
a view to diverting into the narrow stream
upon which the city is built, tho vast
volume of water which daily eecapes to
the sea by this useless waste way.
The plan pursued by Mr. Howell is
similar to that of Oapt Eads, and may
bo described as follows: At tho "cross
tides,” four and a half mile3 abovo the
oity, where the river to be obstructed
is 800 feet wide from shore to shore,
au immense amount of btnsh was ent
from the adjacent swamps and deposited.
This brush was then bound into bandies
or fascines six inches in diameter and
woven into hnge ms ttrasses five feet in
thickness and about thirty-three feet
wide, constracted upon ways on tho rivtr
bank, and varying in length from forty
to 100 feet. These mattresses are posh
ed into the river and towed to the desired
spot. They aro then sunk to the bottom
by means of a oovering of stones two feet
in thiokness and all tho mattras£C3 se
curely corded and fastened in line to,
caoh other. At tho point where tbi 3
was done the depth of water varies from
eight to twenty feet.
Tho entire work ba3 been sneoessfnily
completed, with the exception of a por
tion of the stone ballast, which is now en
route from New York, It has already
withstood the freshets of several months,
and the dam not only remains intact,
bat an immense accumulation of sand
and other debris has gathered, lessening
the depth of water, and seeding the cur
rent into tho desired channel. The ef
fect is beginning to be seen in the in
creased supply of water in the river be'
fore the city, and as these accumulations
continne, gradually the back river will
dll np, and the whole sweep of the Sa
vannah paS3 close to the wharves of oar
ohief seaport.
This must rosult in a deep and perma
nent channel to the sea, and do away
with the expensive and slow operations
of the dredging machine.
To Mr. Howell most bo awarded tho
honor of accomplishing this important
work, which for twenty-five years has
baffled every attempt of those who un
dertook the task. No less than loot pre
vious contracts had been made with the
government to construct this dam, but
hitherto no obstruction has been suffi
cient to resist tho periodical freshets
which are wont to oomo rushing down
from the mountains. It is impossible to
over-estimate the vast utility of tho un.
dertaking which has been so snoc€8? r ally
accomplished. It is to bo regretted,
however, that tho contraotor, Mr. How
ell, will sustain a net I033 of over two
thousand dollars, owing to the heavy ex
pense involved in bringing stone for bal
last from tho North.
Tae Government should certainly let
him off oven, and the merchants of Sa
vannah bestow npon this worthy man
some substantial token of their appre
ciation of his invaluable services.

Thomas J. Pope & Brothers of 292
Pearl street, New York, solicit Southern
patronage, and send a cironlar giving
prices of pig iron, lead, tin, niokel, spel
ter, borax, scrap iron, ingot copper, eto.,
etc,, to the proprietors of the leading
iron and brass foundry in Maaon. At
the bottom of the list appears the words:
‘Sso other side.” TarniDg the oircalar
otct, ms Sowed a_ .philipio against the
South from the New York Tribune, stat
ing thatjshe was now demandiog $681,-
000,000 for internal improvements from
tho national treasury in addition to
$53,416,212 for private claims. It then
goes on to say that "within a period o (
less than two years a. solid and disloyal
South has demanded from the treasury
of the nation which for four years it
sought to destroy, and whioh it now
seeks to bankrupt, a sum vastly greater,
by reason of tha blind claims whioh are
not reckoned, than $1,287,524,735. These
figures need no comment to show that
the solid South means ehame and rain.”
Boron Munchausen, or any othor
falsehood monger, never lied more
palpably and egregtously than the
manufacturers of this so-called mercan
tile circular. Such stupendous bathos
was never equaled in the annals of the
press. And yeo this man Pope and
his brother are flooding the Soaih with
circulars begging for trngt
•i'2 reply of every Southern business man
will be that of onr friend S-, whioh was
in these words t “You om oonfiao you*
campaign circulars and trade to your own
section.” It is pretty Ijard to be begged
and cajoled in one breatb, and in the next
denounced and abased. Moral t lot the
South utilize as speedily as possible her
own magnifhent water power, ereot
mills, do her own manufacturing and be
come really independent of her insidious
Northern friends.
Tin latest boom or bum, as tho pro-
nonneer choeses, is for the benefit of Ad
miral Porter Thompson, K. C. B. It be
gins and ends in Washington, bnt tikes
in Fortress Monroe, Hampton Roads and

When wo reflect that the bum might have
inoinded Japan and the Pao fio, at d have
ran the figures up to $50,000, let ua men

Ta* only evidenoe of genius the ad
ministration has developed, is the send
ing of negro troop3 to fight the Indians.
It has been found, that after an Indian
gets astride of a darkey, it takes forty
urinates for kirn to card out the kinks in
the scalp lock and to plat them into a
convenient handle. This forty minntes
affords sufficient time for the cavalry to
retreat beyond the reaoh of danger.
As the New York Herald very properly
remarks, there 13 humor even in politics.
Tilden is reported as having said he was
not a candidate for tho Presidency.

The press dispatches omitted a little
incident daring the recent visit at the G.
C.-C.’s, to Mount Vernon. One of the
tall Privates took another aside, and in-
qniied.
“Who is the party buried over there f”
"George Washington, of course.”

“Not at all—I am Badgers, your sec

“Ah I So it is, eo it is. My dear

As the carriage containing the two ap

The Detroit Tribune comes to our table
with a fivo column account of the terrible
railroad accident near that city. Seldom
if ever have we read suoh a thrilling de
scription as that given us. The deep
cut, tho foggy night, the rushing loco
motive, the slumbering emigrants, the
sudden flash of the headlight a few yards
in front, tho wild shriek of the lccomo
live, followed instantly by a horrible
crash and thejjmore agonizing cries of the
dying and wounded, all flash np to tbe
imagination as vivid and distinct as
thengh tho eyo beheld it. Below we re
produce a description of the scene of the
accident, by which twenty persons lost
their lives and twenty-nine were wounded
THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDESI*.
This is a cut about fifteon feet deep,
some forty rods east of tho janotion.
Just east of it is a slight ourve, and this,
with the high bank, renders a direct view
of the track for any great distance to aDy
ono going west, impossible. Two tracks
ran through this cat side by side, the
main one on the right. Connecting the
tracks is a short one, on which et each
end is a switch. The freight train was
standing on the left hand side track.
Wishing to reach another, which could
only be attainod by running on .to the
main track, the engineer did so, nn de
orders, as is stated, of the yardmaster
the supposition being that tho Pacific ex
press was forty-five minutes late. The
train had made up some of the lost time
and took the switch engine by surprise.
APPEARANCE OF THE WBKCK.
It is almost impossible to give an ade-
quato description of the wreck as it ap
peared to the thousands of people who
visited it. The straggle of tbe accnmn
Iated foroes had ceased; the dead bad
been removed. The shrieks of the
wonnded were no longer heard. A mo-
mends terrible orash nad been succeeded
by comparative silence. Oa tha north
bank of that cut lies a conglomerated
mass of what were ones things of beauty
and strength combined, whioh now aie
reduced to a chaotio sondition to which
the English language fails to do jus
tice.
Tbe Railroad Mill.
Tbe folioaing is the railroad bill as passed
by both houses of the Assembly:
A bill to be entitled an act to provide for
ths regulation of railroad freight and pas
senger tariff! in this State, to prevent un-

The ODto .Election.
We expected nothing in the Ohio elec
tion last Tuesday, and have probably got
it. Nevertheless, it will do to rcoeive
with abundant caution the tales oE im
mense majorities sent over the wires by
the Eadicala. It is their fashion to claim
majorities whether they get them or not,
and it takes about threo mouths to get at
the truth in respect to a good many ot
their claims. It is doubtful whether
California has been fully returned yet.
But assuming that Ohio has been lost
by a decisive majority, at is a feather in
John Sherman’s cap, and will boost np
his candidacy for a time, until the triad
of Coukling, Blaine and Sherman begin
to operate directly npon each other, when,
as we doubt not, they will all be strong
enough to knook eaoh other out of the
ring and give place to Grant.
Wild liUnd Dtciaion.
From a letter received in the city yes
terday, from Atlanta, we learn that the
Supreme Court has decided that tho sales
of wild hrds under transferred fi. fas.
are void, and the deoision of Jndge Hood
in tho Terrell county cases is sustained.
Held for Fastuee.
Unmailab'.e letters are held in the Ac*

THE TWO ENGINES
are perhaps the most complete wrecks,
Meeting as they did, tho ewitch engine
nearly at a stand-still, the passenger lo
comotive moving at a high speed, the
former wub actually lifted from tho track
and hurled backward againc.6 the aide of
tbe bank into which ic tore a great hole.
The express train’s engine turned to the
right, and aide by aide they lie against
th3 bink. Everything pertaining io iho
machinery cf both engines was entirely
torn away. Tim bpiUr?arealmost intact,
but. tli© Bjieet i*an caveiing with which
.^y were protected la stripped as cleanly
from them as if dona at tho shop where
they were made. The tracks, cylinders,
cabs, steam domes, smokestacks, and
every particle of tho driving machinery
are torn away emireiy. The massive
Tods aro bent like kaittirig needles or
snapped like pipe stems. One cylinder
was thrown backward a distance of about
sixty feet from its engine. Tho other
portions of the machinery lie extensively
scattered.
THE CCiOIIE7.
Ic would not seem possible that cars
could be so badly destroyed as aro the
unlucky ones which did duty cn this oc
casion. The baggage and express cars
shot over and beyond tho locomotive.*,
their truckB slopping on iho boilers of thd
engines. The roots and ends of these
oars aro gone, and inside there remains
littlo but a mass of kindling wood to show
what service the citb were designed to
perform. These cars not stopping eo
suddenly as did those behind them, are
not, however, so badly emsstod. The
smoking car came to a standstill against
the locomotives. On .followed the first
emigrant car, the two telescoping togeth
er in horrible completeness. Tho first
emigrant car is literally split in two, ths
smoking car cutting through tbe rows of
seats and sweeping them and their occu
pants into a conglomerated mas3 re
crushed timbers and crashed bodies. Th i
third csr is raised up from its trucks,
which have slid under the telescoped
eoaches. Tho ground below is filled
waist deep in rubbish and remnants of
baggage, olothing and timbets. The
whole scene presents the mo3t startling
demonstration of the terrible results ac
complished by misdirected forco whijh
can be Imagined.

Journal says: “The Northern Senator,

other hand, “took and easily kept the
high table-land of patriotic thought
which so many American statesmen—
Senator Conkiing chief among them—
long ago deserted.” Oar New York con
temporary adds:
"Senator Gordon calls the federal con
stitution "the omnipotent arbiter from
whioh there is no appeal.” Ho prays for
a “broad patiotiam broad as the republio
itself.” He says: "God speed the day
when tbe maxim, ‘This is my country,
all my country—every section, eveiy
aore of soil over whioh the flag cf the
republio floats—shall ba embraced by
every Amerioan freeman.” It is said
that the part of hie address containing
these passionate words of devotion to the
Union "elioited the most vociferous and
prolonged applause.” How is tbit? Senator
Coukling, in a speech totally devoid
of patriotio enthusiasm, told his
hearers in effect that tho Union is hated
at the South, that State rights are aa
rampant there as ever in the days before
secession, that the ex rebels having failed
to destroy the republic by war, aro now
seeking to capture and control it with a
view o? upsetting all that the war had
settled, as we had fondly supposed. Ho
declares that tho national finances, pros
perity, economy, safety, right and jus
tice are all imperilled by these bold, un
scrupulous Southerners. And for an
answer to all this sound and fury, the
men of Georgia, 15 COO or 20.000 strong,
stood out ia the burning Eun on Thurs

so that be was obliged to be raised

at fourteen in Borne, and came to this
country in 1852. He desigos to figure
composition to completely surround the
rotunda, and it was on these that he was
at work, acd which it was hie hope to
live to complete. His progress wes tec
csiarily slow, as he worked from huge

How CoEOBiDo Would Dispose of
the Indian Embbcglio.—Governor Pit
kin says that Colorado would be willing
to "settle the Indian troubles”—and at
her own expense, tco—if the consent of
the Washington authorities could be ob
tained. Tnat the settlement would be
effectual no one who knows tbe temper
of frontier communities, and their ideas
as to tho correct way of ccndcoijng au
Indian war, will doubt. Toe Utes
would be converted into good Indians
in accordance with General Sberman’s
recipe. Then, having butchered tbo
owners, Colorado would proceed to tbo
less exhilarating but more profit sole duty
of administering npon tha effects. As
Governor Pitkin remarks in his practical
way: “The advantages that would accrue
from throwing open 12,000,000 acres
of land to miners and settlers wonld
more than compensate ail expenses in-

Christ Church lest evening was the
scene of one ot the most bri.liant social
events that has ever occurred in Maoon,
in whioh the morraige of Dr. AppUton F.
Collins and Miss Basis O. Traoy was cel
ebrated. This event has been the expec
tation fer several weeks, on account
of the high social standing of the con
tracting parties.
Sometime before five o’dook, the honr
appointed for the ceremony, the Church
was filled with a most brilliant audience,
all anxious to witness the solemnization
Of tbe nuptial?.
Promptly at the hour, the bridal party
arrived and a quiver t>£ expectation ran
through the assembled audience, as the
procession began to form at the doorway,
The sshers were ten in number, and ae
the glad notes of the wedding march
pealed forth, they preceded the attend
ants and the bride. They entered in tbe
following order: Meiers. J. S. Iverson
and J. P. Fort; N. M. Solomon and A.
B. Woodson; J. L. SauUbnry and O. H.
Solomon; G. H. Plant and C. T. King;
W. H. Woodson and J. H. Jones.
At tbe head of the aisle they separated,
one going to the right and the other to the
left, forming a semi-oirole on either side
of the space in front of the chancel
They were followed by the bridesmaids.
The chancel railing and desk had been
removed, and they asoended and stood on
either side of the floral arch erected for
the occasion, some of them standing on
the chancel steps, and all forming one cf
tbe lovliest pictures imaginable. They
were twelve in number, were unattended
by gentlemen, and entered in the follow
ing order:
Misa Cora I. Nutting and Miss Etta E.
Ciiaby,MisB Minnie Wood and Miss Boss
Woodson, MisB Fannie Lamar and Miss
Mattie Euan, Miss Leila Wood and Miss
Lizzie W, Plant, Miss Ophelia E. Nisbst
and Miss Carrie T. Johnston, Miss Geor
gia E. Traoy andMiu Berenice S. Steele,
of Huntsville, Alabama. After tbe
bridesmaid had taken their positions,
Col. William B. Johnston and Dr. J. S.
Baxter, tho nearest relatives of tho bride,
proceeded np tho a : 3la and stood on ei
ther side of the r /ch, and were in tarn
followed by the bride and groom.
As the notes of the organ ceased ahush
Jell in the assembly, and in a clear voice
ths mar age ceremony of tha Episcopal
Church was pronounced in a very beauti
ful but impressive manner, by Esr. O. A.
Giazebrook, Bector of the .Church, All
present were deeply impressed with the
eoene. It seemed aa though tho choic.
eat jewels had been gathered in those
circled around the bride, who stood
in the spotless purity of her attire as an
exjuisi.eo.n'ral p.arl.
At the o’oaa of t'.e ce iemot y, tho or
gan, under the skillful finders 0.* P.*o-
isssor V. Czards, rang ont the congratu
lations whioh fooni au eoho in the
hearts of all. The bridal party retired
from the church, the usheis going out in
reverse order from tbat in which they en
tered, the bridesmaid following, and the
bride end grcGm last. The bridal
party was complimented for its particn
larly handsome appsaracoThe bride
was exquisitely attired in a heavy, white
satin with sleeves of lace embroidered
with pearls, square cut corBSge at the
throat, filled in with lace, alto embroid
ored with pearls, with very long court
train.
In her hair was twined a wreath a f orange
blossoms of tha most delicate form, ma-
king a crown of these emblematic fi jw-
era. Gracefaliy falling from h r brow
was a silk tulle veil, which floated back
ward over the rich folds of satin to tbe
end of the ample train. The ornaments
worn jrere of the BimpleBt yet most ele
gant character, consisting of a magnlfi
cent set of pearls, presented 10 the bride
by Mr. Frank Traoy, of Paris, as a bridal
offering. The bride never appeared more
ov«ly, and as she moved down the aisle
the admiration of all was shown in
whisper of compliment over tho large
audience. A bride, never looked more
lovely.
Tbe groom was dreased in faultless
style, ia full evening costume, appearing
to splendid advantage, easy and grace
ful, yet manly and dignified.
The bridesmaids’ toilets were marvels
of appropriateness and exquisite taste,
alt being arrayed in white banting, trim
med with satin, with heavy court
trains.
The ushers were in full dress, with
sprigs of orange flowaie and miniaturo
satin bows on the luppels of their coats.
The decorations were simply exquisite,
and were the result of the skill and care
of some of theJairtst young ladies of iho
city. In the chancel of the church wes
erected a loftjr arch of modern aichitec
lure, covers with richly colored ever
green leaves. The oslumns were beauti
fully decorated with pure white lilieB,
exlecdingS from the entablature to the
base audafoiming a delicate contrast to
the daiker shades of green.
The cspiltsls on either side were
formed of a mass of liiiss arranged ia tbe
most graceful manner, while the arch,
perfest m its outvj acd propsrtions, was
crowned with a key stone, of tbe same
spotless and appropriate fi stress, eaoh
flower showing its heart cf gold amid
the pottli of snowy grace. Along tho
oirclo of the arch and resting cn tho tops
of the capitals of lilies blszsd a wealth of
lighted lepers iliumiairg the so:ne with
rare radiance, and tinging the Bhades of
green with a golden light.
From the centre sf the aroh depended
a huishae, the emblem of good format*,
and tho latest church oraamsnt for a hap
py oojision like the present. It was very
gracefully formed and composed cf spot
less rosea. This ia the first time this
emblem has b:en used in Macon acd
the oae -w ieh bent above the bridal
parly last evening was greatly admired.
Embedded in the ;ose3 shone the nails of
gold, skillfully arranged, and the whole
device formed an effeottiuly beautiful.
The chandeliers were clothed in living
green, flaked here and there with white
roses and lilies. Taken all together, the
decorations were probably the handsem-
eat and meat appropriate that have ever
been seen in Christ Church, and as they
were viewed in a flood of light against
the rich stained glass windows ot
tha oh&ncel in the background,
formed a scene of beauty which
will remain long among the
ineffaooabie mcuiorioa of tho occasion.
In the centre of the picture ga ii £ry D
and Mrs. Ocllina received the ooneratnl
Iations of friends, which weregi T6n ia
the warmest manner.
The elegant parlors were thrown open
and the mansion never witnessed a soena
more happy or an occasion more enjoyed.
At an early honr supper was announced
and an elaborate repast sewed &, the
most elogant manner. Around the fes«
live boaid the company lingered,enjoy,

Mbsibs Wbeks A Ponsn—Gentlemen: I have
had tho Salt Rheum cn my head and all through
my hair, and also on my legs for tho past four
years, having suffered exceedingly with it. The
dandruff falling from my hair wasviry annoy*
ing. I consulted severs! distinguished physi
cians in regard to it, and havo taken their pra-
scriptions as ordered but did not find any core
and but little relief. 1 was told by many perrons
who have tho Salt Rheum, and who have been
doctored foryears, thatthere was to cure for Its
that it was in the blood, and 1 should always
have it, and I was almost inclined fosgreewilh
them, tut a friend wanted me to try Cuticura,
made ty your firm. I did, Hid to my astonish
ment, in less than three weeks my head was en
tirely free front all halt Rheum and Dandruff,
and I cannot see any appearance of Salt Rheum
on my person. I think it a wonderful remedy.
