Atumptcd Bnrttary In Rutland.
Oil tlie Macon and Hawkinsville road,
seven miles from this city, Mrs. E. C,
rcarcc conducts a small mercantile busi
ness. On Thursday night Mr. Pearce re
turned home very late from his duties as
juryman, and went into the store in order
to be sure that all was safe, and the house
properly closed. On examination he
found that the screws socuring one of the
hinges of the door, had all been extracted
save one, which was sufficiently removed
to allow easy access to a burglar. A
certain negro boy named Jerry Parker,
alias Tom Parker, and alias Lewis Lucas,
was suspected, and on being closely ques
tioned, confessed to having committed the
act, preparatory to burglarizing the store.
Mr. Pearce consented to allow him to go
free, provided he would leave the county
and not return; and in order to be cer
tain that he did leave, Mr. Pearce, Mr.
Martin, and the father of the latter, ac
companied the would-be thief some dis
tance towards Macon.
On the way he confessed to having an
accomplice, and when in about ten paces
of the Southwestern railroad bridge spann
ing Tobesofkee creek, Pearce and the
younger Martin halte4 in conversation
about tlia matter, leaving Jerry in the
custody of the eider Martin, who stepped
on the track within the bridge. In a
few minutes the negro gave Mr. Martin a
LeaTyblow, prostrating him and very
nearly pitching him headlong into the
stream below, a distance of fifteen or
twenty feet. The other two parties ran
immediately to the rescue, finding Mr.
Martin severely hurt, and the darkey
gone. Mr. Martin narrowly escaped
death.
The darkey came on to Macon, and yes
terday he was identified on Bridge row by
a darkey from the neighborhood in which
he lived, and the younger Martin, and
pointed out to officer Mosely, who prompt
ly arrested him and lodged him in the bar
racks. The darkey will probably be
bound over for an assault. Mr. Martin
was, at last accounts, still in bed from tbe
injuries received. He is quite an old and
infirm gentleman. We hope the t dar.
key will get a full measure of justice
meted out to him.
MACON VOHISTEEBS’ FAIR.
A Rumpus in Bessie Darling's Com
pany.
There seems to have been a derange
ment in the Bessie Darling troupe (which
played in Macon a short time since)
at Meridian, Miss. The Mercury
of that city mentions it in an article from
which we extract the following. We pre
sume that the actor referred to is George
F. DeVere, whgse mediocre presentation
of the character of Clifford in the Hunch
back was remarked by many. The
other members of tbe troupe seemed to
play for all they were worth. It might
be remarked in passing, that the fair
Bessie herself gave a good deal of trouble
to the hotel men of this city by what ap
peared to be captious particularity when
she was here:
“It was stated in our last issue that Mr.
Darling, of the Bessie Darling combina
tion, bad n difficulty with one of his ac
tors at the Central Hotel, after the play
of evening before last, in which he re
sented an insult, in calling him a liar,
very promptly by peeling him over the
eye with his fist, etc. Mr. Darling was in
the city yesterday, and desired us to make
an explanation which is due the audience,
for the slouchy and imperfect manner in
which the peace was rendered, greatly to
the annoyance and mortification of the
management. He observed tbe indiffer
ence of some of bis actors to the full and
fair rendering of their respective parts,
and the annoyance it was giving Bessie
Darling, who was troubled to get on with
her part for the want of proper support,
and went behind the scenes to remedy the
trouble.' He met this same man who bad
g st left the stage after cutting his part.
e remonstrated with him, and he replied
by saying these people didn’t know the
difference whether the play was rendered
in full or not, or imperfectly rendered,
thus showing a sort of contempt for the
audience.
• •• •• •
Some angry words were said between
them. The man denounced him as a liar,
and for his insolence he checked him
through to New York with a black eye.”
Road Commissioners.
The following citizens were yesterday
elected road commissioners of Bibb county
to fill expired terms by tbe Grand Jury
which is now in session. The names will
be handed in open court this morning by
the Jury:
East Macon District.—Henry B. Davis,
William H. Flectcher, John Y. Lowe.
Upper City—Green J. Blake, William
A. Crutchfield.
Lower City.—Robert L. Henry, William
II. Mansfield.
Vineville—William S. Brantly.
Godfrey.—J. W. Nisbet.
Howard.—Robert Price.
Rutland.—James S. McGee, Henry
Willis.
Warrior.—William Long.
Hazard.—Samuel C. Chamles.
Under the management of the last board
of commissioners the r6ads of the county
have been kept up to a high standard of
excellence. In fact the county is noted
in Middle Georgia as having the best pub
lic highways of any county in this section.
We have no fear but that the board above
named will keep the roads up to their
present standard.
County Court.
Yesterday two more recruits were sent
from the County Court to reinforce the
chain gang.
Frank White, colored, whose perfor-
ances in systematically robbing Messrs.
Wolfie & Bro. of hides, were noticed a
few days since, was tried for the offense of
larceny from the house, found guilty and
sentenced to eleven months in the chain
gang. He was arrested on Thursday by
Mr. E. A. Ross, of tbe County Court.
The darkey at first fled to Columbus but
returned a day or two since. The case
was well worked up by Officer Wrye, of
the police force. , ,
Henry Payton, colored, was tried for a
like offense and found guilty. He was
sentenced to four months on the public
works.
Jane Stafford and Bill Mitchell were
before the court charged with the offense
of riot. The case was not fully made out
and the defendants were accordingly dis
charged. ___
—Colonel Fred Graut, A. D. C., who is
swinging round with “Pa,” caught the
orange fever while inFldrida andinvested
in the golden spheres.
—Negbo Emigrants Dying in Kan
sas.—There have been a number of
deaths lately among the colored refugees
at the barracks near Topeka, Kansas.

ground three or four days before being in
terred.
—Illinois Wheat Crop.—Advance
sheets from the crop of the State Board of
Agriculture show that the winter wheat
average sown In Ulinois is 2,668,826, or
25 per cent, greater than last year, and
considerably laiger than the averrfge of
a ny proceeding year.
Another Successful Evening — Bril'
liant Prospects of the Enterprise.
The strong hold which tbe Volunteers
have upon the affections of the people of
Macon was never more fully illustrated
than last evening at the armory of the
company. The crowd in attendance on
the fair was much laiger than on tbe pre
ceding evening, and the scene was one of
rare beauty and brilliance. Ladies
In tasteful and appropriate toilets
moved about the hall using all their in
fluence for the Volunteers, and meeting
with a prompt and generous response
from those present. Others, fromjteliind
their beautifully arranged tables, supplied
the wonts of all who desired anything in
the most becoming and graceful manner.
In the restaurant, the attractions of this
naturally attractive place were made
doubly so by those who served the tables,
and each fair waiter acquitted herself
both gracefully and well.
Many rallies took place last evening.
Mr. T. S. Freeman, of Savannah, won
a beautiful sofa pillow, which has attrac
ted much attention. .
Mrs. A. T. Newsom, a handsome silver
toilet set; Mr. Carlton, of Twiggs county,
a bottle of champagne. Four or live other
bottles of champagne were also disposed
of here in like manner.
At the cigar stand several interesting
raffles took place. Among them were the
camp chair donated by Mrs. Thomas
Wood, and won by Mr. W. M. Good;
set of silver knives and forks, won by
Mrs. Thomas Wood. This table did sur
prisingly well,and, at an early hour of the
evening, its sales footed up some $75.
The domestic venture table proved no
small attraction. Mr. S. B. Price won
another ham. Mr. Gustin and Mr. Peter
and many others drew valuable prizes,
almost sweeping away the stock of tbe
table. To-day from the very extensive re
serve stock in the hall, the table will be
re-supplied for this evening. All articles
having been donated, the prizes are liberal
and attractive. At this table a ten dollar
United States bond, presented by Messrs.
Lockett and Bond, was raffled and won
by Mr. J. J. Clay.
The Fruit and Flower table did a great
business, and so well managed was it that
even at the close of the evening its ap
pearance was as attractive as ever. Above
it is suspended a silver horse shoe, from
the centre of which depends a bunch of
grapes, while around it are clusters of ivy
leaves. An exquisite silver fruit stand
was won here by Mrs. J. M. Johnson, and
a beautiful basket of flowers, by Miss
Daisy Freeman.
The table of Mrs. Maugham came in for
its share of admiration and patronage.
Here are still to be raffled a handsome
bird cage and canary, a beautiful afglian,
and a number of other valuable articles.
The art gallery was opened to specta
tors and proved a great feature. In it
are seventy-nine art illustrations of the
richest and rarest description. Some
things in it are truly ludicrous, and those
who fail to see the galleiy will have visi
ted the fair in vain. It is under the di
rection of Mrs. General Armstrong, as
sisted by Alisa Villapiguo.
The polls were opened last evening and
for a while the balloting was lively. The
managers of the eleefion are Misses Katie
Drane and Daisy Huff. The balloting
at the close of the fair stood for the most
popular young gentleman—prize a gold-
headed cane—W. II. Woodson, 105; J.
Emanuel, 08. Mr. Emanuel declines to
run but his friends will run him anyway
For the most popular officer matters were
more mixed and the vote stood: Captain
Carnes, 10; Lieutenant Connor, 6; Captain
Hardeman, 10; Captain McManus, 17;
Captain Ross, 9.
The general appearance of the hall is
truly handsome. Gracefully arranged on
two entire sides is a canopy made of al
ternating red,white and blue strips, beauti
fully scalloped, while from every available
point countless banners flutter to every
movement of the air. Festoons of green
appropriately arranged complete the
scene.
The restaurant last evening was-crowd
ed most of the time, and in addition to
the viands of the previous evening elegant
oysters were served.
The fair will again open at four o’clock
this afternoon, and lunch will be served
at any hour after one o’clock to-day.
In addition to the contributions ack
nowledged yesterday the ladies of the res
taurant department return thanks for the
following articles enumerated, which

A Strangled Bone.
Mr. J. F • Mosely when driving
his fine horse and new turn out through
East Macon yesterday morning, experi
enced a singular accident. The collar of
the harness being too tight, the animal
was choked so severely that he fell in the
shafts, breaking both of them, and dam
aging the harness. The horse sustained
but little injury, and recoverd almost im
mediately. This kind of accident is not
an uncommon one, and seems to arise
from a sort of temporary strangulation.

Another Blehly Snceeanfal Evening.
The attendance on the fair of the Ma
con Volunteers at the armory of the com
pany last evening was surprisingly large,
especially when it is remembered it was
Saturday night. The crowd seems to have
been in no way affected by this fact, and
remained large to the very hour of closing.
All of the ladies engaged in the fair
were very industrious, and the gentlemen
enlisted in their cause, active in their as
sistance. Farr ladies moved about the hall,
and the slightest request to take a chance
was met with ready response.
A gentleman from Atlanta, who was
present, took a survey of the hall, its
crowd, pretty ladies and gallaut looking
gentlemen, and turned to a companion
and remarked that he was just from the
Library Fair in that city, and it could not
begin to compare to the Volunteers’
Fair.
Last evening all of the tables did re*
markably well.
At the cigar stand, whose attractive
beauty is admired by all, the scene was
one of busy activity. One of the ladies in
charge of it, by her own exertions, made
over twenty-five dollars last evening,
Here one of the most elegant sofa cush
ions ever seen in Macon, presented by Mrs.
R. H. Flanders, was raffled and won by
Captain J. L. Hardeman. A number of
bottles of champagne were also raffled off
besides smaller articles.
At Mrs. Mangliam’s table the handsome
bird cage and canary was won by Mr.
Virgil Powers, Jr. Miss Viola Rodgers
won a handsome afghan, and an elegant
basket of flowers was won by Miss Laura
Lovejoy, of Atlanta, at the same table.
The chances on a complete set of “Pic
turesque Europe,” on this table, are now
being made up, and it will be raffled very
soon. It is among the most elegant arti
cles at the fair.
At the Domestic Venture table many
valuable prizes were drawn. Mr. S. B.
Price drew a watch, ham, can of lard and
many other articles of value.
A beautiful~china chamber set was won
at the Fruits and Flowers table by Mr.
Ed Isaacs. Miss Annie Harris here won
a beautiful basket of flowers.
Nearly the whole stock of fruits wo s
sold out, and the supply on Monday will
be entirely fresh. Among the handsome
things at this table still undisposed of is a
satin damask table cloth valued at twenty-
five dollars.
In the shooting gallery some fancy
shooting was done. Mr. Donnie Jones
and John Horton made bull’s eyes, aim
ing tbe rifle with the aid of a mirror, their
backs being toward tbe targets.
A lively contest was made for the bale
of cotton. The announcement was made
that any one paying ten cents, and throw
ing fifty with three dice in three throws,
should take the bale, had the effect of
bringing in a flood of dimes. The bale is
still undisposed of.
The Old Volunteers table disposed of
many small articles. Mr. Oscar Thom
son won a very pretty cake here. The
handsome dinner set and Webster’s Una-
briged Dictionary to be raffled at this
table are under tire special charge of Mrs.
J. B. Brown. On to-morrow evening
several largo raffles will take place at this
table.
In the restaurant great success crowned
the efforts of the ladies in charge.
The ladies of the restaurant make ac
knowledgments for the following contri
butions : Mrs. S. S. Dunlap, cream and
milk; Mrs. Dr. F. M. Kennedy, turkey

THE LOUISVILLE AND NASHVILLE.
An Office to be Opened is Xaeon.
Yesterday the report was circulated that
the Louisville and Nashville railroad
had rented the store on the corner of Sec
ond and Mulberry streets, and Intended
to open therein a ticket office. The re
port was soon found to be true. The rep
resentative of the road yesterday conclud
ed a contract with the owner of the build
ing, renting the store opposite the Court
House until the first of October. • It will
be fitted up in elegant style. The con
tract for the internal arrangements has
been given out.
The road’s intention of opening an office
n Macon gave rise to all sorts of specula
tion. Some seemed to think a coalition
had been formed with the Macon and
Brunswick Railroad Company and the
office gave indications of an early com
mencement of the exteution to Atlanta.
Many other theories, equally as probable,
were expressed. The only thing defi
nitely known, however, is the fact that
the place had been rented by the repre
sentative of the road named above until
next October.
Tbe Twiggs County Poisoning Case.
From a gentleman from Twiggs county,
we learn that the recent attempted poi
soning in Twiggs county, in which an ef
fort was made to poison the whole family
of Mr. C. R. Faulk, which was mentioned
in this column at the time, excited a good <
deal of indignation throughout the county.
The attempt was so well planned that it
was only by mere chance that serious con
sequences did not follow. Our informant
suggests that if tbe party was known there
is no telling what would happen to him.
Since the occurrence every effort has been
used to discover the person making the
attempt. Suspicion rests strongly against
two darkies, but not strongly enough
against either to warrant an arrest. Be
sides the darkey on Mr. Faulk’s place,
who was mentioned as being under the
ban of suspicion, a darkey by the name
of Aaron Clark is also suspected. He is
hiding out, and alleges as the reason that
some unknown party, one night recently,
shot at him while he was standing in his
doorway. He is reported also to have re
ceived some strychnine from another dar
key, a short time previous to
the piisoning attempt. The death
ly character of the mixture was
shown by a small portion being
administered to a cat, producing death in
a few moments.
Fine* Hotel.
Montezuma will soon have a fine hotel.
A new commodious brick structure is be
ing erected near the depot by Major
Dmmwrigbt. It is to be of brick, and
when finished will be an ornament and
credit to the place. Montezuma has long
needed just such a structure, and we arc
glad to note the improvement being made,
The roof is now being put on and the
building is rapidly approaching comple
tion.
Concert.
On next Thursday evening a concert
will be given for tbe benefit of the Apple-
ton Church Home, at Masonic Hall. Some
of the best talent in the city ha3 been en
listed and the concert will be a highly en
joyable musical event. It should be
pleasure to all to contribute to so worthy
an object. The Home is one of the no
blest of the charitable institutions of the
city. Its appeals to the public are few,
and, when made, are never made in vain.
DistrcMdog Casualty at Cordon.
Yesterday, about 12:30 o’clock, Mr.
Jackson Daniel, a young man aged about
twenty-four years, while returning from
hunting met with a fatal accident. It
seems that he was shifting his gun from
one hand to the other and the hammer,
striking his left knee, the contents of the
gun were discharged into his neck, sever
ing the jugular vein and carotid artery,
the charge passing out behind his right
ear. He died instantly.
He has been married a year and two
days, and leaves a wife and infant. Mr.
Daniels was an excellent young man,
well liked by all, and the suddenness of
his death has profoundly impressed the
community.

Leap Tear Parly in Cntlsbert.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: The
crowning event in the social season of
Cuthbert transpired Thursday evening.
The leap year party, for which the young
ladies made great preparations, dawned
upon the fortunate participants in all its
glory, and eclipsed any entertainment of
preceding years. It was a triumphant
succeyi; the weather being propitious and
e ven fair Luna seemed to vie with the
young ladies in their efforts to make this
affair one of unsurpassed beauty, causing
sentimentality to flow in an Increasing
stream from the tongues of the assembled
thiong, at the residence of our highly es
teemed and popular citizen, J. McK.
Gunn, Esq.
At the appointed hour the ladies dashed
up to the city hotel in an omnibus which
was of large proportions, but the party
also being quite immense, in fact quite too
many for comfort, necessarily caused a
compact body of beauty, chivalry and
mirth.
The ’bus arrives at its destination and
tlie precious cargo disembarks and takes
the magnificent mansion of Mr. Gunn by
storm. On entering the vestibule the
eye is attracted by a very pretty floral de
coration suspended in graceful curves un
der an arch, and pendant in the centre
was the motto “welcome.” It stood out in
bold relief though voiceless, stroke through
the eyes to the "heart. The guests were
not long in finding themselves in hospita
ble hands. The spacious and handsomely
furnished parlors were indeed a picture
for admiration; the elegant toilets, the fas
cinating ladies, and last but not always
(?) least, the “boys,” whose hearts were
open for invasion, and right royally and
gallantly did the “girls” perform their
duty and adhere to their rights. Cupid’s
darts were scattered broadcast, and should
all the contraets entered into be bona Jhle,
the Ordinary of this county would reap a
rich harvest. Antonio Cutro’s string hand
from Columbus furnished the music, and it
was grand, soul-inspiring and seemed to
transport one to ethereal realms where
everlasting bliss reigned supreme. The
music, combined with the elocutionary
powers of the ladies, had a tendency to
melt many hearts of the sterner sex, and
to keep them charmed, and to completely
under their control that a “yes” would be
forthcoming upon short notice.
The hour of twelve arrives, tire banquet
is spread, and the merry crowd, in solid
phalanx, form to attack the elegant feast,
which would require an able pen, with
finished touch, to describe. Suffice it to
say, that the most fastidious could have
their appetites satiated. The decorations
upon the table made a gorgeous display
and reflected credit on the fair hands that
arranged them.
The benediction was pronounced by
Rev. A. L. Hamilton, D.D. Tire supper
concluded, and after two hours lingering
in the path of conviviality, the party dis
persed and will ever keep in remembrance
the leap year 1880. C.

A called meeting of the Presbytery oi
Macon will convene in Cuthbert on Tues
day evening, the 27th inst., to consider the
resignation of Rev. J. B. English as pastor
of the Cuthbert Church.
Mr. English is a godly and gifted divine,
as remarkable for his modesty as he is
able and instructive in the pulpit. The
Appeal, in noticing his expected departure,
says:
We,| in common with our entire commu

—Where Our Olive Oil Comes
From.—The New Orleans Times says the
large shipments of cotton seed oil from
this port to Marseilles indicates that the
world is iu no danger of suffering from a
scarcity of olive oil. In fact, the greater
portion of the olive crop is now grown on
the hanks of the Mississippi and its tribu
taries. Nevertheless, it would never do
to have oil made in America, and, there
fore our home product must be shipped to
Europe, manufactured there, and then
sent hack as the genuine article.”

A TURN OF FORTUNE’S WHEEL.
Charleston to he the Entrepot of the
Trade of the West
A special dispatch to the Charleston
News and Courier, fromNev York, dated
Thursday evening, says:
The unusual demand during the last
few days for South Carolina railroad
stock and unsecured bonds is explained
at last. A syndicate of New York capi
talists, prominent among whom are Sam
uel Sloan, President of the Delaware and
Lackawanna railroad, Moses Taylor and
Richard Lathers, has been formed for the
purpose of taking control ot the South
Carolina railroad and releasing it from
the litigation which now keeps it in the
custody of the United States Court, with
the view to making it without delay the
terminal link in the chain of roads wh ! ch
shall connect the great railroad systems
of the West with the Atlantic seaboard at
Charleston.
If the plans of the Syndicate are carried
out, the road is to be managed with such
cneigy as will speedily render Charles
ton the leading shipping port south of
York. Sixty miles of road are to be built
immediately to connect the South Caro
lina railroad via Spartanburg, Henderson
and Wolf creek with the Cincinnati South
ern road. A fleet of new and splendid
steamers is to be placed oh the New York
and Charleston line. These, it is said,
will eclipse those now plying on the Sa
vannah line, and are intended, amongst
other things, to accommodate the Florida
trade.
The Syndicate already own about 40,-
000 shares of tbe stock oi the South Caro
lina Railroad Company, one of its mem
bers alone holding 20,000 shares. They
do not look to any unfair combination
with other roads, but expect to win
success by dmt of the completion
of the shortest and most direct route
from the Ohio River to the Atlantic
seaboard. They say that the March re
port will show the South Carolina Rail
road to be in excellent financial condition.
This afternoon 13.50 was freely offered
for South Carolina Railroad stock, but
holders were asking 14, with a light offer

floor. Smiley stood outside, peeping
around a door post, with only a part of
his head exposed. Alexander nervously
lifted the weapon, took deliberate aim and
fired. The ball plowed along the post be
hind which Smiley stood, half burying it
self, and striking Smiley in the forehead,
went through his brain. Smiley fell
dead, and Alexander, turning, sauk from
loss of blood.
A large crowd witnessed the encounter,
and the greatest of excitement prevailed.
Tbe wonder is that several men were not
killed, for when Smiley fired the six shots
the sidewalk was crowded with people.
The weapons used were not parlor pistols,
but the brand used to kill, almost regard
less of distance. One of the balls from
Smiley’s pistol went through a signboard
and buried itself in another. The mark
on the door-post, made by the ball which
killed Smiley, is fully six feet from the
sidewalk. Nine men out of ten would
have escaped,, as the deadly missile would
have passed harmlessly over.
Alexander, at last accounts, was suffer
ing greatly, and is not expected to live.

Mrs. LoriUard’s Heavy Claim Against
the Standard Oil Company.
Mrs. Emma C. Lorillard, wile of Blase
Lorillard, of llhinebeck, a relative of the
Lorillards of this city, began a suit in the
United State3 Circuit Court to recover
royalties and profits which she claimed in
consequence of the use by the Standard
Oil Company of an invention for rectify
ing and distributing petroleum oil.
In her complaint Mrs. Lorillard sets
forth that the invention was made by
Knot Fleury, who conveyed a one-balf
interest to Blase Lorillard, and together
they subsequently transferred the patent
to the Standard Oil Refining company,
which in turn conveyed it to to Benjamin
B. VanSteenburg. The latter conveyed
it to Mrs. Lorillard in 1867. Mrs. Lorill-
ard charges that the Standard Oil Com
pany has been using the invention since
1867, with great advantage, but has failed
to pay her for its use. The royalties
and profits which Mrs. Lorillard claims
amount to $1,500,(XX).
Grant in Havana.
Havana, January 22.—The steamer
Admiral arrived this morning, having on
board General and Mrs. Grant, Col. Fred.
Grant and Ids wife, General Phil Sheri
dan, his wife, and two young ladies. As
the Admiral entered, a small steamer be
longing to the Navy Department, and
carrying General Arias, Civil Governor of
the Province of Havana, and Confidential
Adjutant of Captain General Blanco, and
several staff oflicers; Henry C. Hall, Uni
ted States Consul; and a number of Amer
ican citizens, among them General Webb,
proceeded to meet the Admiral, which
they boarded. General Aris then tendered
General Grant the hospitalities of the
city and an abode at the palace, and said
Captain General Blanco expressed regret
at not being in the city to welcome Gen
eral Grant, but that Ire hoped to arrive
before the party take their departure.
General Grant replied that lie would be
happy to meet General Branco. The
whole party immediately boarded a steam
er and went ashore. Large crowds had
assembled on the wharves and houses to
itness the landing of the distinguished
visitors. On landing the party entered
carriages belonging to the Captain Gen
eral, and were driven to the palace,
where, after, their reception at the foot of
the staircase, by General Callejas, Vice
General, and Joaquin Canbonell, Secre
tary of the Government, they entered and
inspected the palace. The party then
sought repose from the fatigues of the
voyage. All appear to be 'in excellent
health, and said they had a pleasant trip.
General Grant expressed much satisfaction
with his stay in Florida, and could almost
have been induced to spend the winter
there. The party will take passage on the
steamer City of Alexandria, hence for Vera
Cruz ou the 12th or 13 th of February, hut
before proceeding thither, General Grant
intends making a trip to Hayti, and prob
ably to other West India islands on board
a United States war steamer. General
Grant said that he came to Cuba merely
to see the country, and would accept sev
eral invitations lie had received to visit
various plantations. The party took a
drive this afternoon, and will to-night re
ceive some intimate friends, who-happen
to be in Havana.

A Fatal Street Fight Between Col
onel Smiley and Colonel Alexander
at Hot Springs.
Arkansas Gazette.!
Mr. H. Thomas has just arrived iu the
city from Hot Springs, and having been a
witness of the desperate encounter which
recently occured between Colonel. Robert
Alexander and Colonel Smiley, at that
place, gives the facts, which we spread
before our readers:
Colonel Alexander and Colonel Smiley
were prominent claimants of mining lands
in Silver City. Some dispute arose'as to
the claim. Being unable to settle it satis
factorily, the dispute augmented into a
quarrel, and the quarrel into violent
threats. It was well known that both
parties were men of nerve. Smiley had
won a reputation of being desperate in a
personal encounter. Alexander, though he
had never been credited with shedding
blood, was considered a man with whom
it would not be safe to trifle. All efforts
to settle the misunderstanding failed, and
.those who were acquainted with the cir
cumstances expected that bloodshed
would be the ultimate, result. Several
days ago, the day when the encounter
took place, Smiley came to Hot .Springs.
Alexander was in the town. Smiley went
to the bank and asked of the cashier:
“Havo you seen Alexander?”
The cashier replied that he had not
seen him, but understood that he was in
town.
“I am' going to kill him before four
o’clock,” exclaimed Smiley, and, turning,
left the bank. Alter leaving the bank be
had not gone far when he met Alexander.
The furious aspect immediately assumed
by each man illustrated the’fact that vio
lence would! ensue. Alexander drew a
large revolver, and, rushing upon Smiley,
struck him over the head. Smiley stag
gered back ami drew a French self-cocking
revolver, and withe rapidity almost beyond
the capacity of enumeration, fired six shots
at Alexander. Three shots took effect, a
ball striking each arm and another going
through the lungs. Alexander’s pistol,
dropped from his hand. He attempt
ed to recover it, but his right arm
had been paralyzed by tbe ball. He
grasped it with his left hand, but the left
arm having been also wounded, ha was
unable to cock the weapon. Smiley was
placing the finger in the fissure the throb- I .
bing of the brain may be plainly felt. The j upon him. With a cool, desperate pres-
woman keeps a handkerchief bound enceofmind, Alexander kicked his pistol
when the band is removed for a short
time. In spite of all this she is said to
be very cheerful and active.
The Maine Embroglio.
The early telegrams of yesterday repre
sent at length some dagger of a collision
of force between the Republicans and
Fusionists before long; but we trust and
believe they will think better of it before
any blood is shed. Tbe real danger, we
apprehend, consists of the large numbers
of armed partisans of both sides in the
same place, to breed excitement and ani
mosity to fever heat and create the peril
of a chance collision, which would natur
ally result in a general row.
Where State elections covering the
whole subject-matter in controversy take
place, as they do in Maine, every year,
there is no reasonable excuse for pushing
their quarrel to the extremity of warfare.
A fight is the most unreasonable method
of ssttlement, and will bring disgrace and
disaster, not only on Maine, but injury to
the whole country by discrediting the bal
lot as an effectual and healthful method
of settling public questions.
The country presents, at this moment, a
shameful spectacle on this subject. The
Democrats And all candid Republicans
are compelled, at this time, by actual
facts and truth, to charge and admit that
the Government of the United States is in
Republican bands, not as a result of a
verdict of the National ballot, but of de
liberate and persistent fraud, by which
that verdict was defeated and set aside.
Smarting under the quarrels and recrimi
nations engendered by this fact in Con
gress, tbe facilities of defeating the ballot—
the danger of its being done, and theread-
iness of each party to doit, are all mat
ters of common talk in Congress.
This Maine affair is cited as strong cor-
robative evidence, and indeed, so far as
we can understand the trouble, it grows
out of a simple application, by tbe Fusion
ists to the Republicans, of laws and cus
toms devised by the latter, when in power,
for the purpose of easily counting in a
Legislature to suit them.
The great aigumentfor Grant, as a can
didate, seems to be that, as a military
man, enjoying tbe confidence of tire army,
he could not be defeated by the ballot, no
matter how it went—for when his friends
say he “would not he counted out,” they
must simply mean that (the money and
military and executive power of the gov
ernment being on his side) he could not
he counted out, no matter how the votes
went.
So in New York the scheme to revolu-
tianize the mode of election, so that it will
be impossible to cast the vote of that. State
against Grant, is justified by the allegation
that the ballot has become so corrupt and
is so easily corrupted as to he no longer
trustworthy. But if this be the fact, it is
certain that popular government is at an
end in America, and must be supplanted
by fraud, chicane and force.
These things should alarm the country,
if the country is not past alarm, and ready
for any sort of a military domination,
which so many of the Grant men pretend
is the case,
How Long May Life Endue With
out Food or Drink?
Apropos to the question of natural phys
ical endurance, without food or drink,
which is incidental to the Sunday-school
lesson to-day, on Christ’3 fast and tempta
tion in the wilderness, we clip the follow
ing from the New York Tribune of last
Thursday:
The autopsy of the remains of the wo
man who starved herself to death in Cin
cinnati has not revealed any materially
diseased condition of tlie stomach.. The
fact that she lived for thirty days without
using any nourishment whatever would
justify the conclusion that persons pos
sessed of strong will power and having
the hallucination or delusion th.at they are
suffering with some organic disease or bodi
ly disordermay live until the body is entire
ly consumed. This lady was possessed of
great power of will, and she had a delusion
that she had no stomach, and therefore
made up her mind that she would not
take food or drink; and continued in this
condition until there was a general ex
haustion, of the nerve centres and mental
faculties) when she went quietly into a
calm sleep, and died without a struggle.
The pathological condition of the passa
ges leading to the stomach all being nor
mal, with no obstruction, and all the or
gans in a healthy state, leady to perform
their various offices, would warrant the
conclusion that this lady would have
lived a great many years if she could have
been induced to partake of sufficient nour
ishment to sustain life.
It is not impossible, then, that mere
physical strength of a marked character,
might endure one of the forty-days’ fasts
mentioned in the Scripture; hut in all
these cases human strength was supple
mented by a condition of spiritual and
mental exaltation which greatly assisted
the physical powers of nature. Physical
strength is greatly dependent on the con
dition of the mind, and finds its best ally
iu a cheerful and buoyant courage, a con
scious rectitude and strong religious hopes
and affections. With these the contest with
wasting starvation and wearing disease
and pain becomes a very different conflict
than when entered upon in a doubtful or
despairing spirit, or maintained under the
burden of conscious guilt and a sense of
inevitable failure. The forty-days’ fasts,
therefore, might have been maintained by
a strong and healthful man, without any
strictly miraculous Support.
