Homicide in Columbus. — Enquirer-
Sun: Yesterday afternoon the city was
thrown into excitemsnt by the killing of
Mr. Henry McCauley by Mr. James Har
ris, on npper Oglethorpe street. The
cause of ths difficulty is unknown, though
two gentlemen were present when it
began. They were talking quietly, and
gau joking each other about a tombstone,
one saying the epitaph should be “Died
drunk.” It seems Mr. McCauley pulled
a knife, parties interfered, endeavored to
separate them, when Mr. Harris fired,
the ball striking Mr. McCauley in the
forehead. Several gentlemen ran np
and carried Mr. McCauley into the stable
of the Columbus Transfer Company. To
these gentlemen Mr. Harris said: “I did
the shooting, bnt was forced to do it, as
he was oomtug towards mo with a knife.”
After tbe ahoitiog Mr. Harris went to
the cffice of bis brother-in-law, Hon. L.
F. Garrard, where he was arrested by
officers Pickett and St. Clair. Ea route
to the guard house be told them be was
not in tho habit of carrying a pistol bnt
purchased this to learn his wife to ahgot,
so she might protect herself when he was
away from home. He was turned over
to Bnetiff Barms, who placed him ia jail
Drs. S. N. Joid n, J. J. Butte, and D.
W. Johnson examined the wound in
few minutes after the shooting, and
agreed he could not live. Ho was oarried
on a litter to tbe residence of Mrs. Mo-
Ardle, on Taornis street, where he died
in abont three hours after the shooting,
not having uttered a word from thu time
be was shot.
On the coroner’s inquest Walter Hobbs
solemnly affirmed and detailed the cir
cumstauces of the killing as follows
Mr. HarriB oame around to Thompson’
old etabl 9 , where we were delivering
trees, and was talking to me. While ho
was there Mr. MoOauley came around and
begin talking to Mr. Harris abont r
tombstone. They were talking friendly,
Harris touched McCauley on the beard,
and began quarreling. They struok
each other with their fists. I do not
know who struck first. Mr. McCauley
had a knife aud Hanis a pistol. MoCan
ley went into the alley, when Harris
palled from me and fired. Saw deceased
lying on his back with head ftom Mr.
Harris. Mr. Dundas and witness en
dsavored to eeparate them; didn’t see
MoCaulay when he was shot, bat saw
Mr. Harris shoot around the corner of
the alley. MoCaulay had a knife in his
hand, and before he was shot was ad
vauoing on Mr. Harris. Don’t know
whether at the time of the shooting Me
Cauley was advancing on Harris, but
previously McCauley endeavored to get
at him; neither seemed to make much ef
fort to get together. It wa3 only a com
mon pocket knife that deceased had;
there didn’ seem to be any difficulty ; do
cot know whether there was any previous
one or not. Ths difficulty seemed to bs
about placing tbeir hands on each other.
Blows were passed, but did cot know who
strnck first. McCauley drew bis knife
and then Hanis drew a pietol; don’t know
whether Mr. McCauley was advancing on
Harris or not. When first separated by
me they were on Oglethorps street; Mr.
Harris didn’t follow Mr. McCauley into
the alley, but reached around witness
and fired. McCauley was in the alley; "
supposed four or five feet from Harris.
Other witnesses testified substantially
to tho same state of facts, and a verdict
of manslaughter was rendered.
Mr. Henry McCauley was about fifty
years of sge. He has long been in bus
iness in Columbus, and at the time of his
death had a marble yard on npper Broad
street. He leaves a wife and four small
ohildren.
Mr. Harris wa3 formerly, wo bslieve,
from Mississippi, and for a number of
years traveled for a house in New York,
He married a sister of Hon. L. F. Gar
rard, aod has been cultivating a farm
few miles east of this city, of recent
years.
The affair is deeply regretted by all,
and the poor widow and fatherless chil
dren have tho heartfelt sympathy of eve
ryone.
A Performing Samson.
London TeleKraph. Nov. 8.1
If repott speaks trnly, all tho astound
ing feats performed by tbe strong men of
antiquity, including Hercules, Samson
and Milo of Crotons, have been capped
by the recent performances of a French
athlete, Joignerey by name, who is at
present fulfilling to crowded houses an
engagement ia tho Berlin Vaudeville
Theatre. Tossing about huge cannon
balls with sportive grace, this person ap
pears nightly on a raised platform in the
body of the theatre, about whioh plat
form is suspended an ordinary trapeze.
His ankles are thon fastened to the tra
peze, bo that ho swings head downward
a few feet above the sarfaos of the ecu
tral stage, and in foil view of every one
n the house. A horse, covered witb gay
trapping?, and begirt with a broad
leathern surcingle, to which two strong
loops are attaohed, is then conveyed to
tho etage, and there mounted by a fall
grown msD. '
When all these preliminaries have
teen effected Joignerey seizes the loops
in both hinds, and by sheer muscular
strength lifts tho “horse and his ridei”
somo inches off the stage, sustaining
their combined weight in the air for sev
eral seconds, and letting them down again
as slowly and evenly as ho had raised
them. Upon tho occasion of his first
performance the horse selicted for exper
iment was so panic stricken by being
lifted off its feet that when it was lower
ed to the level of the platform its knees
gavo way under it, and the attendants
had a great deal of trouble to make it
stand up again.
All Berlin is flicking to M. Joignerey’s
entertainment, which would appear to be
the ohief attraction of the German capi
ta! just now; for, while the managers of
the leading theatres are complaining of
empty homes, the Vaudeville is compell
ed, night after night, to tarn hundreds
of curious Berliners away from its doors.

Graphio Bpecial.I
Very fow people are aware that there has
been an enormona inflation of tho currency
within tbs last twelve month*. Not that
sort of inilition that tho Greenbackers have
been howimg for, but a general increase of
the circulating medium, consisting of an en
larged snpply of gold and silver coin and an
increase ot National bank circulation, which
ia secured, es is well known, by United htates
bonds. .
The report of tbe Director ot the Mint will
show that there has been an increase in the
amount of gold and silver coin in circulation
in this country within the last tixteen
months of more thin $150,000.00 J. This has
been by coinage and importation—that is,
we have cow in aetuil circoLtion 3150,000,-
000 More gold am silver coin tban we had
on the let of July, 1673.
The report ot the comptroller of the Cur
rency will show that within tbo same length
of time (since Jaly 1, 1378,) the National
bank circulation has increased 318,000,000 or
moro. From October Slst, 1878, to Ootobcr
Star, 18<9, the National bank,circulation has
increased over $16,0C0,C00, and sicoe Octo
ber Siet last it has increased about 31.5J0,-
000, or an average of 3100,000 a day.
On ths Slet of October last tho amount of
coin in circulation in this country, according
to the Director of the Uint, was—Gold,
3355,081,C32; silver, 312J,0i.9 6J7. Total,
3581,601,069.
Estimiting the population of the United
State: at 18,000,000, it wili be eeen that we
have now a supply of coin cquil to 310 per
capita.
This is an increase of 3152.000,000 over
the amount of gold and silver coin in this
cinntry on ths SOth of June, 1873 Adding
to the increase of the National bam circula
tion since the sami date, which has been
318,000,000 in round numbers, it will be seen
that ths actual inflation of the circu
lating medium within tho sixteen months
has been ono hundred and seventy million
dollars.

There Is no end it seems to tho ness to
which this wonderful modern invention
may Bot be applied. An exchange says:
“The French war steamer Deeaix had to
tow out from Toulon the old ship Argo

round one of the towing cables, with an
end on board each vessel. The electrio

next step was to apply the tele

scends, and is able to give an account of
all he sees and does, and receive instruc
tions, without having to be brought to
the i-urface to give explanations, as has
hitherto been the oase. By the use of
the telephone, a man at the bottom of tho
sea oan remain in constant verbal com
munication with those at tbo surface.
But a more wonderful achievement of
the telephone still remains to bs record,
ed. In New South Wales a Mr. Severn
olaims through its agency to be able to
cause the deaf to hear. The telephone
in question is constructed out of a tin
pot, the closed end of whioh was opened
and a piece of parchment tied over with
a fine string, having a knot inside pass
ing through the centre. Mr. Severn say a:
Make a loop in the string somo three
feet long, put this loop over the forehead
of the listener (the deaf man), cause him
to lay the palms of his hands fiat and
hard against the ears, let the loop pass
over the hands, and now this listener will
hear tho smallest whisper, let him be
deaf or not. This fact may appear ex
traordinary ; it is nevertheless trae that
a deaf man may thus be made to hear
tho human voice, music, etc.

New York, December 3.— Ib was an
nounced, after business hours yesterday,
that the Louisville and Nashville rail
road Company had obtained control of
the Mobile and Montgomery road, whioh
was of late under the control of the Bioh-
mond Air Line, and thereby sebnring a
direct line to New Orleans. An official of
the Loniaville and Nashville Siilroad
Company said last night that tho new
arrangement would go into effect Janu
ary 1st.
BcsioN.Daosmher 3.—At Fall River
the eleotion yesterday was one of the
most exciting ever held in that oity.
William S. Green was elected Mayor, ro-
oeiving 2,990 to 2,431 for Jeremiah B
Levy, Democrat. There will probably
be a tie for another year in tbe Board of
Aldermen. Most of the seventy-eight
enrolled women voted.
New Obleans, December 3.—The
election in this oity passed off qnietly—
a very light vote was polled—probably
leas than twa-thirds. The “ring” ticket
in this parish is generally elected. Spe
cial dispztohes to the Democrat from all
telegraph stations in the State show
heavy Democratic gains. Those reports
giving an estimate of majorities in eleven
ccnnty parishes claim a Dsmocratio gain
of 12,100 as compared with tho Demo-
oratio count ot 1876, The same parishes
gave President Hayes 1,600 majority.
All the despatches say tbe eleotion passed
off quietly—most of of them report the
negroes voting the Democratio tioket
and for tbe Constitution.
Richmond, December 3.—The Bead-
jnsters met in oanons at 8 o’olck, and are
still in session at midnight. They claim
to have eighty-two members of the Gen
oral Assembly, whioh would give them a
majority oi twenty-two cn joint ballot.
Nearly two-thirds of the Bspnblioan
members took put in the caucus.
The participants were bound to secresy.
Henoe it is impossible to give any idea of
tbs proceedings, except that a long se
ries of resolutions, embidying a plan for
future aotion, was adopted.
These resolutions are said to be ex
tremely liberal in a political sense. The
caucus also made a full list of nomina
tions for officers of both Houses with
Judge B. W. Lacy, of New Kent, as
Speaker of the House; P. H. McCauli,
of Pulaski, as Clerk; G. W. Cook, color
ed, of Norfolk, first Doorkeeper; J. W.
Southard, of Henry county, eeoond Door
keeper, and A. J. Taylor, of Fluvanna,
Sergeant-at-arms.
The Senate officers are C. H. Cswsey,
cf Naineemond, Clerk; C. M. Webber, of
Eosnoake, Sergeant-at-arm-; J. H. Hill,
colored, of Petersburg, Doorkeeper.
The Debtpayers also held a caucus,
bnt made no nominations nor took any
decided action.

Richmond, December 3 —The General
Assembly met at coon to-day, in the first
bieunial session under the recent amend -
msnt to the Constitution. Ail tho Sena
tors were present, a'nd all the delegates
bnt two. Tho organization was effected
by tho election of the Beadjustera’ candi
dates in both Houses, by majorities rang
ing from eight to thirteen in the Senate,
and from fifteen to eighteen in the
House, showing that the BiadjuBters
have a majority on joint ballot of about
thirty-seven. Governor Holliday’s mes
sage was then read. It is almost entirely
devoted to the disoussion cf ths State
debt.
It approves the settlement made last
session, the terms of which were embodi
ed in the measure known as the McCal-
loch bill and states that notwithstanding
the recent agitation in favor of the reps il
of that law, whioh ha3 to some extent
interfered with its operation, nearly
eight million five hundred thousand dol
lars of old bonds have already been ex
changed for new ones. With regard to
the merits of the MoCnlloch bill, the
governor says it was regarded by
the ontside world as a fair and
reasonable Battlement acd one whioh
in no way impugned the honor of tbo
State. This he says was a matter of vi
tal importance in any settlement that
might be made. “ Why then,” he asks,
" enonld it not bs accepted by the people
of tbe State aB in every way & desirable
conclusion of the question whose agita
tion has cost the state more than the
whole suta.involved ? My views are very
clear and distinct that money represented
by the interest or even by the principal
of the debt, large as it is, is of little im
portance in comparison with the State’s
credit, and that nothing save inability
can justify or excuse its non-payment.”
After th9 reading of the message in
the Senate a resolution was adopted un
der a suspension of the rales, fixing Fri
day, tho fifth iostant. for the elsotien of
State officers, including the Secretary of
tne Commonwealth, First and Second
Auditors, Treasurer, etc., fourteen in all
The Beadjusters’ large majority on jcint
ballot justifies the presumption that
clean sweep will be made of all the pre
sent inenmbente. In the election to-day
all the Bspnblicins exoept four voted
with the Beadjusters.

in fanr different parts of the Cathedral.
Tho main body of tbe instrument will fctaod
in the chanosl, and tbo organist will *it
there. At the west end of tbs building, in a
tower directly behind a largo stained glass
is a room in wh.ch tho organ will bo placed
and connected with the chanoel with electri
city, like ths organ built by Mr. Roosevelt in
Grace church. Now York. The window will
be opened and closed by electricity controlled
by the organist from tbe chancel, thereby
making fino crescendo and diminuendo ef
fects with tho orgau in tho towor.
Over tho coiling, above the contor of the
building, will bo placed another part of tho
instrument called tbs coho organ, which ia
to bo played from tbe chancel by electricity
Underneath tho chancel, ia tho obapel ti.ua-
tid thero, is a part of the organ which is ar
ranged eo that it can be played in the chapel
as wall as from the chancel. Lastly, the
largo chimes which hang in the tower will bo
connected with tbo chancel by electricity, so
that the organist con play them from tne
keys of the organ The bellows wili bs op

ist can, by timply turning on the water, have
the whole instrument, including the chimes,
at his command.
Though this will be a mammoth instru
ment. and notwithstanding the groat dis
tance between many of tbe parts, tho pres
sure necessary to play on the keys will bo
ne greater than is used in playing npon a pi
ano. This is due to the u e of electricity,
pneumatics and hydraulics, which, combined,
render it passible and practicable to con
struct such an Inatrnment.
There will be four vox humanas (similar
in construction to tbe oslobrated one in Frei,
burg); one of thozo will e in the chancel,
one in the tower, another over tbe coiling
and a fourth ono in tho chapel beneath the
chancel. All of the^e will be under
the control of the organist in the
chancel,and will bo oipable of creeccndo and
diminuendo effects. Certainly eome beauti
ful and ex raordinaiy combinations can be
prodaaed witb their aid. In ali thero will bo
ono hundred or ono hundred and twenty

Music Hall organ has eighty-four stops, the
Cincinnati organ ninety-six, snd the -largest
organ in th9 world, that in Albert Hall, Lon
don. 111. Fivo by’raulio engines will be

A Card from Rev. Walker Lewi*.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger—
I do not covet a reputation lor violence
and injustice anywhere; still less in the
pnlpit.
Allow ms to review the card of Capt.
Hanson in tbe is6ne of yesterday.
The ngt nt hears that I made a “vio
lent assault” upon his company during
tbe Sunday evening lecture. I do not
think so. I certainly did not assault
him; bavins hitherto held him in great
esteem, now made even greater by bis
manly defense of himself from euppostd
wrong. “However indifferent” he may
be as to the value of my “opinion in ref
erence to Ithe matter,” I value his opin
ion of jastlce, if not of the Sabbath.
Neither did I attach the company 1
do not assault men anywhere, still less m
the pulpit. But I did “assault” the mis
doings of the company, If with violonoe,
not with as much as tbeir Sabbath break
ing dsaeiveB. “Unavoidable repairs” on
Sunday ! What necessity is thero for
Sunday repairing P I believe the com.
pany do not oppose night work. Ths
Sabbath begins at twelve o’clock Sa'.ur
day night. Conld not IheBe repairs be
made at night after work closes, or at
night before it begins P And any man
with a conscience had rather work at
night than on Sunday.
The agent’s appeal to precedents was
unfortunate. If he ccu'.d find a thousand
companies doing likewise, what would
baatprove? Not that the Bibb Mam
factoring Company have the
right to work tbier employes
times hampered by pride. Many young
men who go West take more pride than
money—and bring back all ths pride and
uo money at alh A yonng man that
“works for his board,” no matter what
honest work he does has no reason for
ehatne. A young man who oats tho bread
of idleness, no matter how much money
he has is disgraced. All yonng men
starting in life ought to aim, first of ell,
to find a place where they can earn their
bread and butter, with ho?, axe, spado,
wheelbarrow, currycomb, blacking-brush
—no matter how. Independence first.
The bread-und-butter question settled,
let the young man perform his duty eo
faithfully as to attract attention, and 1st
him constantly keep his eyes open fora
chance to do better. About half tho
poor proud young men, aud two-thirds
of the poor discouraged yonng men, are
always out of work. Tho yonng man
who pockets his pride, and carries an
npper lip as stiff as a oast iron door-step-
eoraper, need not starve and stands
good chance to become rich.
The church cost a hundred and fifty
thousand dollars about ten years ago,
and tbe damage is estimated at fifty
thousand, covered by insurance.

call tbe following wero introduced and
referred. By Wocd, of New York, a bill
respectingtbo refunding of tbe national
debt. The bill is as follows:
Be it enacted, That so much of the an.
thority conferred on the Sscro tary cl the
Treasury, by tbe act of July 14, 1870,
and January 20,1871, to refund the pub

be and the same is hereby modified eo as
to limit the rate of interest on bonds

aots, to a rate of interest not to exceed
3} per oent. per annum.
Mr. Garfield, of Ohio, introduced

national debt. Bsferrod. It provides
that all existing provisions of the law
shall apply to any United States bonds

Secretaiy of the Treasury to exchange
diieotly at par four per oent. bonds of the

eight fatal lynchinge without an effort

the perpetrators to justice. This week
another general strike was threatened,
including a stoppage cf all coal trains on
the Cnesapeako and Ohio road. It was
met by a declaration of the Governor
that he would use the whole military
power of the State, and if necessary he
would call on the general government
for aid to stop any such lawless conduct.
So far serious trouble has been avoided.
