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.

FACTS). Figures (bat Show an Increase of tbe Uirenlailng Hedtnm. 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.

White in a half Tbe Telephone. 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 naut. A conducting wire waB rolled round one of the towing cables, with an end on board each vessel. The electrio ourrent was formed by 'the aotion of tbe sea on the copper sheathing of the ships, A telephone was introduced in the circuit on each, and communication established between them. Daring the whole time of the navigation, conversation could be carried on as easily bstweon tbe offioera cf the two vessels as if they had been seated in the sams cabin. The next step was to apply the tele phone to the work of the diver. One ot tho glasses of tho helmet is replaocd by a copper plate, in which is inserted a tele phone, so that the man has a elight movement of the head to mako in order o receive communications or report ob servations. The advantages of such an arrangement are obvious. Frequently at Bea the necessity arises of examining the keel or bottom of a ship. The diver de 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. If this proves to bo really truu in prao dreamy state he saja tne molody flished I tioo, what a souros of enjoyment will be through him, complete in all its details, like opsned up to those unfortunates, who are m nnvfoAf ninmro TTa liOAimi on imnrflHdOl I BY TELEGRAPH. a pirfect picture.

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.

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.

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.
