Currency Debate-in Congress.
Both Houses opened on currency meas
ures yesterday, and so paved the way for
much talk and a long session. In the
Senate, Mr. Bayard’s anti-legal tender
resolution came up, and \va3 opposed in a
long speech by Senator Beck, of Kentucky.
As to the argument of unconstitutionally,
Jt may be conceded there is no specific
grant of such power in the constitution;
but there is a positive denial of the power
to issue bills of credit to the States. The
argument against the power must there
fore rest on the provision that all powers
not specifically granted, or necessarily in
cidental to the granted powers, must be
withheld.
We should concede the unconstitution
ality in deference to tender consciences;
but it is not needful that the Treasury
notes should be made by law a legal ten
der. They were in tirculation many
years without any such provision and
were better than gold or silver. They
have existed as legal tenders many
years during the war and since, fortified
by low as legal tenders, and yet have
been as low as sixty per cent, worse than
gold or silver. These factsslrow the pow
erlessness of law to fix values and credit.
An acknowledgment of indebtedness by
the United States Government is more
than anything else w# can get of a sure
and reliable value, and when we exchange
it for the bills of the Bubbletown and
Froghollow banks, although tedeemable
in specie on their face, we make a terribly
poor swap. Brethren don’t do it.
The Louisville & Nashville B&ilroad
Combination.
The Louisville papers are pretty well
filled with the details of the late purchase
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, in New York,
of a controlling share of the stock of the
St. Louis, Nashville & Chattanooga road.
The scheme was fixed up with closed doors
in a Wall street office, and then the papers
were drawn and executed at the hotel
above named. Elsewhere will be found an
account of the whole transaction clipped
from a special to the Courier-Journal.
All accounts agree in saying that the fate
of the contract between the roads repre
sented by Messrs. Cole, Brown and Wad-
ley still remains undecided. The general
drift, however, of all the intelligence re
ceived thus far on the subject does not
seem favorable to its consummation.
The Courier-Journal devotes over a
column of editorial jubilation to what it
terms the “crowning stroke oi the Great
Southern management.” In its exulta
tion, it pronounces the new combination
“master of the situation, ruler of the rail
way system of the South, extending its
paternal supervision from the Mississippi
river to the Atlantic ocean in one direc
tion, from the lak<_o of the Northwest to the
Gulf of Mexico in another, aHd including
or controlling, or soon to control, the fol
lowing lines:

From the above it will be seen that our
contenporary, in bis enthusiasm, ropes in
Governor Brown’s and Colonel Wadley’s
roads, and their corrections. Bat these
gentlemen, if the late contract is defeated,
will be still in control* of the highways
they represent, aud will have a voice in
the adjustment of ail tiirough schedules
of freights that seek Atlantic ports. Fail
ing to ratify the Cole-Brown arrange
ment, it would seem that the only way
Messrs. Slandiford & Company can get
possession of the Central and Western and
Atlantic Railroads, will be by pursuing
their recent game of buying up the stock
of those two great eoiporations. At pres
ent, it is not even claimed that they con
trol more than seven shares of the nine
teen and pver, belonging to the lessees of
the State Road. Perhaps, therefore, the
Courier-Journal is somewhat premature
in its calculations.
It is difficult to conceive why the “Great
Southern” should refuse to ratify the
work of Messrs. Cole,. Brown, and Wad-
ley, when the league they baft effected
would accomplish Far more -for that great
enterprise then all the Gulf connections
that can possibly he effected. But from
present appearances it is probable that the
arrangement will be broken up.
What of the Lease of the Macon. and
Brunswick B&ilroad?
Simply nothin'/. The report • that the
late lease was in the interest of the Louis-
ville'and Nashville Company, the same
that gobbled np Colonel Cole’s road, lacks
confirmation, and few give credence to
the story. If this, however, should prove
to be the fact, then that powerful combi
nation would either be forced to purchase
a controlling interest in the Western and
Atlantic road, and connect thus with the
proposed extension of the Macon and
Brunswick to Atlanta, or build the Wes
tern road from Atlanta to Decatur, Ala
bama. Either alternative would be satis
factory to tire Brunswick people, and ben-
efitMacon.
But we confess that onr first love is for
the Knoxville extension and thence to
Cincinnati, as this Is the only line which
would open up a new and undeveloped
country, and afford substantial and
healthy competition. We trust, therefore,
that the lessees, whoever they mty prove
to be, will keep aloof from entangling al
liances, and that they may be strong
enough to operate for themselves in the
direction above indicated. Macon is
more directly interested in the route to
the West via Knoxville arid Cincinnati,
than in any other railroad enterprise that
could possibly be started. It would indeed
be a grand consummation for all South
ern Georgia.

ANTIQUITY OP MASONRY.
Those Egyptian Emblems.
We append a copy of the letter of Com
mander Goninge to the World describing
the Masonic emblems be discovered at the
foundation of the Obelisk of , Alexandria
—(Cleopatra’s Needle) so-called. It will
be remembered that Commander Gor-
ringe is officially in charge of the expedi
tion for removing the Obelisk from Alex
andria to New York, and, in pursuance
of his mission, has taken the monolinth
down and is now preparing to transfer it
on ship-board:
Alexandria, January 17, 1880.
To the Editor of the World:
Immediately under the pedestal of the
obelisk and in the east angle formed by
the steps I found a block of hewn syenite
granite, forty inches in the cube, repre
senting a perfect Masonic altar. Under
this and immediately below I found a
white marble slab, representing the apron,
extending across the foundation of polish
ed syenite granite, one hundred and two
incites long and fifty-one inches broad and
twenty-five and a half inches thick, the
upper half hewn into a perfect square. At
the same level and touching the short sec
tion of the square and in the west angle of
the foundation I found another block of
syenite granite markedly regular in form,
the surface of which represented rough
ashlar steps and the foundation of which
was composed of white granite. Besides
these four pieces I found other less no-
ticeab.e and important but equally signifi
cant emblems.

This discovery is eliciting considerable
discussion among the eminent disciples of
the craft and others in New York and
elsewhere. Grand Master Charles Roome,
of New York, says lie has no doubt the
order can be traced back thousands of
years before the Christian era. Charles
T. McClenaclian says that, although lie
has never been able to trace the legend of
Hiram Abiff Beyond the fourteenth cent
ury, he has no doubt that Masonic em
blems were in use among the Jewish Es-
senes a thousand years before Chnst.
And Dr. Ewer, Elwood Thome, and John
W. Simons maintain an equal antiquity.
The next day the World interviews
General Dusted on the subject, who does
not believe that the emblems discovered
have any connection with operative Ma
sonry as practiced at the present day; but
the discovery will stir up all the archaeol
ogists. He cannot trace Masonry a step
beyond the Crusades—about 400 years
ago; but these emblems may have been
the insignia of some ancient organization
with corresponding objects.
More History—The Big Road’s Policy.
Spbcial to th« Courier J-uru.l 1
New York, January 18.—The pur
chase by the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad Company of its line, the Nash
ville and Chattanooga railroad, is fully
confirmed to-day. A rapid advance in the
securities of both roads has recently indi
cated something of the sort. The negotia
tions which were began several weeks ago
in the West were renewed in New York,
and completed at too late an hour Satur
day night for publication in detail. Louis
ville and Nashville stock was quoted at
90 Thursday morning, and 116 bid Satur
day ex-dividend of 3 per cent. Several
directors of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad are in town, and from them the
following history of the competition and
strategic manouvers of both these two
Southern lines has been obtained:
Eighteen months ago the roads were
fighting each other, and the stock of both
was very much depressed, Louisville anil
Nashville selling as low in 1878 as $24 per
share. About a year ago the most vigorous
competition between the two roads was
begun. Louisville and Nashville drew
FIRST BLOOD
by purchasing the Kentucky or Southern
Division of the St. Louis aud Southeast
ern Railroad, running from Nashville,
Tenn., to Evansville, Ind. The Nashville
and Chattanooga construed this acquisi
tion at once as a menace, and through its
Southern connection and friends in Geor
gia and elsewhere secured control of the
Western and Atlantic Railroad from
Chattanooga to Atlanta. The Western
and Atlantic Railroad was virtually
owned by the State of Georgia, and the
control had to be secured in a roundabout
way. The stock was registered to indi
viduals identified with the Nashville and
Chattanooga interests to evade the State,
law forbidding any corporation to hold a
majority of the stock. NexttheNashville
and, Chattanooga Road bought the Ow
ensboro aad Russellville Railroad in Ken
tucky, with a projected extension to
Nashville, intending it lor a competitive
line with the main stem of the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad. The Louisville
and Nashville people were hit hard by this
last purchase,and began to fear for the value
of tlieir property, when they were apprised
a few days afterward that the Nash
ville and Chattanooga road had acquired
the northern division of the St. Louis and
Southcstem from Evansville, Indiana, to
St. Louis. This tended to cut off the use
fulness of the Southern division of the
same road, previously acquired by the
Louisville and Nashville. The Nashville
and Chattanooga further proposes to ex
tend this latest acquisition from Evans
ville to Owensboro, making connection
there with the Russellville and Owensbo
ro railroad, and thus to force Louisville
and Nashville to seek a fresh outlet to St.
Lpuis. The purchases were in progress
about four months ago. About that time,
irrespective of the general boom in the
stock market, there was a rapid qnd spe
cial advance in the stock of the-Loulsville
and Nashville and Nashville and Chatta
nooga roads. The former was then qno-
ted at 65 and the latter at 45. It is now
surmised that since it appeared that no
further competitive points could be cov
ered for the moment, the stockholders and
directors of both roads began to buy the
stock of each other’s road3 to endeavor to
obtain control. _ • l
THE COMPETITIVE WAR
was removed to Georgia. The Louisville
and Nashville' bought the Western road
bed and franchises "of the Georgia West
ern, intending with the assistance of the
people of Atlanta to complete the road in
ninety days from Atlanta to Decatur or
Birmingham, Alabama. The strategic
value of the acquisition can easily he
measured by the extent of the railroad
system south of the Ohio river. With
this road the Louisville and Nashville
would have been able to furnish a quicker
transportation than its rival. Other con
templated combinations were in progress
at the close of November, and at that time
the Nashville and Chattanooga besought
the aid of Eastern capitalists, and secured
especially, as has since transpired, the for
midable assistance of Mr. William H.
Vanderbilt. In the early part of Decem
ber a trace was called between the two
lines, and negotiations were secretly set
on foot by'tlie . Louisville and Nashville
to purchase a majority of its rival’s stock.
In the meantime the rival corporation
proposed a consolidation through Judge
Baxter, each company to receive share
and share alike in the new enterprise,
The proposition was rejected. • The n«n>-
ti3tions were prolonged at Louisville
without success, and two weoks ago were
transferred to New York. Conlerences
have been held daily ever since at the of
fices of the Louisville and Nashville rail
road at 52 Wall street. Mr. G. Fogg,
attorney and director of the Nasuville ant.
Chattanooga railroad, represented the Tnr
terest of the road, and Mr. H. Victor New
comb the' other. Pending these confer
ences, Nashville and Chattanooga was
“bulled” by the directors who desired
consolidation until the stock was quoted
at 96., Mr. Fogg urged,Mr. Newcomb to
conclude a consolidation, qUOting-tlie
price of the stock as a reason for it. The
Louisville and Nashville stock was per
mitted to remain quiet under. 90. -About
the middle of last week negotiations weje
spoken of. In the meantime the Louis
ville and Nashville people had all along
been buying Nashville and Chattanooga
stock, and had secured sufficient to war
rant them in believing that the control
wasr in their hands if one of five large
holders of the stock would sell out to
them, and at a conference held Thursday
night one of the stockholders of the Louis
ville and Nashville succeeded, in convinc
ing a large holder of Nashville and Chat
tanooga stock that
• THE OXLY POSSIBLE BUYER
for his property was the Louisville and
Nashville Road. This gentleman spoke to
his four associates on Friday, and gave
the mtamM* un
.
them the option of taking his stock.
• “ * * Urn
The
offer was not sufficiently tempting, and;
the Louisville and Nashville bought con
ditionally that afternoon the stock owned
by Mr. Vernon K. Stevenson, President of
the Real Estate and Trust Company, .115
Broadway, and his son, Vernon K. Steve-
son, Jr., that of Thomas W. Evans and
liis son, Donald L. Evans and C. Bald
win. These gentlemen owned the greater
part of the Nashville and Chattanooga
stock, and agreed to sell it to the Louis
ville and Nashville the next day, Satur
day. The price is kept secret, but it is ru
mored to have been 70. It is understood
that the terms involve the payment of
more than half in cash and the remainder
in Louisville and Nashville stock.
The Louisville and Nashville board
had been holding continuous ses
sions Thursday, Friday and Saturday
and at four p. m., adjourned to the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, where late that afternoon
the agreement was signed by the seller
above named, and by E. D. Stand-
fonl, and H. Victor Newcomb, parties of
the second part. The contract puts the
Louisville aud Nashville railroad into ab
solute control of the Louisville and Chat
tanooga road. The capital stock of the
latter is $6,000,000, so that the Louisville
and Nashville controls close upon $3,500,-
000, at a cost value of about * $2,500,000.
This control of the capital stock carries
with it the control of the leased roads and
branch roads of the Nashville and Chatta
nooga railroad, which will hereafter be
operated under one comprehensive and
cohesive system. The identity of the
dent line is ended. The line to the sea of
Nashville aud Chattanooga as an indepen-
KING COLE,
stretching from St. Louis to Savannah,
has disappeared in magnificent oblivion.
The Directors of the Louisville and Nash
ville said to-day that the magnitude of
the transaction is unprecedented. The
Louisrille and Nashville Railroad obtains
an uninterrupted line from St. Louis to
Atlanta without a competition, and con
trols every avenue and outlet into Ken
tucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia,
from Cincinnati on the Oliio, to Memphis
on the Mississippi, with connections, anil
practically an unbroken line from the
fresh water lakes at Chicago to tide water
at Pensacola, and running east and west
from St. Louis to Savannah. Railroad
men say that it is impossible to estimate
the extent of territory dominated by this
vast system. Great cities and towns
which are now competitive points between
the two companies, come under control of
the Louisville and Nashville, and their
trade will henceforth be dicta
ted and , controlled by that trcaltLy
corporation. _ It is known that
the Nashville' and Chattanooga re
cently acquired the lease of Colonel Wad-
ley’s road, the Georgia Central, and it is
said that Colonel Cole was actuated in
making the leaso by his knowledge of a
secret contract and alliance entered into
by the Georgia Central and tire Louisville
and Nashville. This agreement involved
the transfer of all business of the Louis
ville and Nakhville at Montgomery;- vice
versa by the Georgia Cent: al. The Nash
ville and Chattanooga vainly sought to
break tbe alliance, and its only alternative
was to lease the Georgia Central. This
agreement was to have been ratified at
Nashville on Saturday by the board of di
rectors and stockholders of the Nashville
and Chattanooga, but King Cole was no
tified by telegraph to hold off the ratifica
tion meeting, as the Louisville and Nash
ville bad stepped in and secured the ma
jority of his stock. It will be optional with
the Louisville and Nashville to carryout
Mr. Cole’s plans. The grand scheme cf
a north and south iine across the conti
nent seems to be completed.

Tbe Brunswick Road.
There was a rumor circulated about the
streets yesterday that the company which
had bought the lease of the Macon and
Brunswick road at the recent sale, had
perfected their arrangements and would
commence the work of building tbe exten
sion to Atlanta about the middle of Feb
ruary. It was impossible to trace the ru
mor to any reliable source, but some cre
dence seemed to be given it.
The route mapped out was a direct ex
tension without touching the Georgia
road, and the rails were to he of steel. In
best informed circles the rumor was
deemed somewhat premature.
The First Baptist Church,
r Yesterday the report gained wide cir
culation that Messrs. B. L. Willingham
& Son had bought the First Baptist
Church property and were intending to
commence at once, on the site, the erec
tion of an opera house. The report
traveled rapidly and soon found anchor
age in reportorial ears. Somehow or other
with each repetition of the report were ex
pressions of surprise. With note books
and pencils, two conscientious reporters
set.about ascertaining the truth of the
rumor and entered the popular warehouse
of the firm. The senior was out bnt Mr.
Calder Willingham, who was engaged in
making out a bill of sale of a thousand
bales of cotton, more or less, courteously
received the representatives of the press,
and from him was learned that the re
port was strictly not so. The Board of
Deacons had recently considered the ques
tion of selling the church, and it was con
cluded that if a good price could be ob
tained, and an eligible site found, they,
would be open to negotiations, especially
as some repairs were needed on the pre
sent edifice, and if a more eligible location
was selected, the money to be devoted to
these repairs would be saved to go toward
the erection of a new bouse of worship,
ifo idea of purchasing the property for tho
purpose named above, however, had been
contemplated,by them;
fying and encouraging-soCeess. Tim hail
was filled daring tha'bntiie evening, .
The clouds which withlbe .early
morning and which exhausted themselves
in a light rain daring the day, had passed
away and the beautifully clear night in
vited all to go down to tha. hall and en
courage tbe gallant. Volunteers and their
ever willing lady friends in their landahle
undertaking. Daring the day the hall
presented a busy scene,. and the amount
of work done was simply wonderful,
The various.tables.grew like magic into
beauty, and to any one who visited the
hall in the earlier hoiris of the day and
returned at night the change wrought cer
tainly brought iomind thoughts of fairy
work.
On the right hand aide, as the hall is
entered, is a platform surrounded by a
railing, on which is placed a very elegant
marble top bed-room set, a handsome easy
patent rocking chair, upholstered in the
latest style with the popular raw silk fab
ric, a Brussels carpet and a lady’s writing
desk; all to be disposed of by raffle.
Near the lower end of the hall, presided
over by Mr. T. W. Maugham, is a table
which at once attracts the eye by its taste
ful and beautiful arrangement. Among
the articles upon it is a canary bird in a
beautiful cage, donated to the fair, ex
quisite flowers, also donated by 'Mrs"
Theo. W. Ellis; abox and basket of choice
flowers from the elegant garden of Mrs.'
H. Felton, and from Mrs. Dr. Cook, of
Marshallville, sent up especially for the
fair, a china and a tin water set, a beauti
fully iced cake and many fancy > articles.
Mrs. Maugham is assisted by Miss Jennie
Yillapigue, Miss Clara Netting; Miss Fan
nie Grier, Miss Florine Dunlap, . Miss
Mary Bonner, and Mrs. Maugham’s three
yonng daughters Misses Finnie^ Lizzie
and Ida. The large sales attested the
popularity of the table.
To the left, in the centre of the lower
portion of tho hail, was the fruit and
flower table. (The arrangement here was
exquisite. Pyramids of luscious fruits,
artistically built, rose at either end, and
in tw centre, interspread in beautiful
profusion, were exquisite collections oi
choice and fragrant flowers. One of the
handsomest things on this table is a satin
damask table cloth.
In front of the table is a very handsome
aquarium, in which a number of gold fish
disport themselves With the aquarium
is a globe also containing gold fish. Both
will be raffled during the fair, the highest
throw taking the former, and the lowest,
the latter. This table during the evening
was splendidly patronized. It was in
the charge of Mrs. J. E. Wells, Jr., assis
ted by Miss Viola Hedgers, Miss Annie
Powers, Miss Fannie Hunter and Miss
Alice Hunter.
Next comes the Domestic Venture table,
presided over by Mrs. Judge T. J. Sim
mons, Mrs. J. W. Lockett, Mrs. Lee Ellis,
Mrs. Judge T. G. Holt, and Mrs. Dr;
Price. This is one of the most attractive-
tables iu the hall. It has been admirably
gotten up. The articles upon - it consists
of an endless variety of household goods,
and all are to be disposed of by chances.
Twenty-five or fifty cents entitles any
one to draw a ticket ar.d whatever - the
ticket calls for is promptly delivered. All
the goods having been donated, the pack
ages corresponding to the tickets represent
the full value of their cost, and many far
in excess thereof. .. ■.
Last evening, for fifty cents Mr. John
G. Deitz drew a ham; ‘Mr. Joe Bond, a
ham; Mr. C. L. Bartlett, fifty pounds of
lard; Mr. W. W. Wrigley, a. can of lard;
and Mr. S. B. Price, a ham. Among the
undisposed of articles are barrels of flour,
champagne, etc. ?
Opposite the door is the “Old Volun
teers table,” three in one. On the one upon
the right *is a case containing a very
elegant dinner set, ornamented with moss
rosebuds, and numbering one hundred
and sixty-four pieces. The central table
contains among many other articles of ex
quisite fancy work, a handsome silver
tea set, silver coffee urn, elegant cakes,
beautiful and costly toilet set, a bronze
card receiver stand, a heavy gold headed
cane lor the most popular young gentle
man, and a truly fine officer’s sword for
the most popular commissioned officer of
the Battalion, both to he awarded by
voting. The table on the left supports
another case containing a beautiful French
china tea set complete. The table is
under the charge of Mrs. D. B. Wood
ruff, assisted by Mrs. Felix Corput, Misses
Fannie and Annie Johnston, Miss Lillie,
Barker, Miss Georgia Stevens, Miss Ellio
Setlcy, Miss Annie Hoge and Miss Addie
Hoge
In the upper right hand corner of the
ball a shooting gallery was in active oper
ation, under the management of Mrs. Vil-
lapique.
Under the musicgallery, most tastefully
and beautifully arranged, wa3 a cigar
stand, presided over by • Mrs. J. P. Flan
ders, Mrs. J. H. Dobbs, Mrs. A. T. New]
son, -Mrs. Hayne Ellis, Miss.. Rebecca
Isaacs, and Misses Wood.
The overhanging music gallery formed
a beautiful alcove and decked with gar
lands, ornamented with pictures and
graced by the fair ladies in charge, the
cigar stand, could not .‘and did'not yield
the palm of popularity • to any other table
in the house.
In the reception rooms in the rear was
the restaurant. Here the most tempting
viands were served in unexampled style.
Never has this department been better
managed. It is presided over by Mrs. D
M. Flanders, Mra.- A. G. Butts, Mrs. H,

. The Opelika Lender ot January the 21st,
says a serious, if not fatal accident, hap
pened oh last Tuesday night about nine
o’clock. Mrs. Johnson, the estimable
wife of Mr. Green S. Johnson, who had
recently moved to our city, from* Fredonia,
Alabama, while 1 in her room surrounded
by her children, one of them took a pistol
Irom the mantle. The pistol went off iu
the hands of the child, and the ball pierced
the left , side of the mother, producing
what is thought at this writing a mortal
wound. Mr. Johnson is traveling for a
Louisville house, and his whereabouts is
not now known. Drs. McCoy and Shep
herd were called in to .see Mrs. Johnson,
but as yet are unable to give an opinion.
She is iu a stupor, but whether from the
shock, or from hemorrhage, the physicians,
could not determine. ;t
A Coast Connection.
If there be anything meritorious in the
leading idea of the Cole combination—a
shorter and cheaper seaboard connection
with the Western produce markets than
now exists—the Louisville connection
with Golf ports has little or nothing prac
tical in it. The Gulf does not furnish
accessible and- convenient ports toariy
point, unless it may to a few of the West
{ndies. A scheme to run steamships from
Mobile to South America will not out-last
more than two trips. If Roach cannot
ran his ships from Philadelphia, the at
tempt to run them from Mobile is prepos
terous. -A port on the Atlantic seaboard,
in easy and convenient calling distance of
coast liners from New York, Boston, and
Philadelphia, might open the conditions
of profitable trade with South. America
and the Carribean seas. We say, then,
that if Cole’s idea was well studied and
practicable, a South Atlantic connection
with the West Is necessary, add is no
wise met by the Louisville arrangement.
- —The South not Solid.
The. alleged solidity cf the South is a
myth, as proved by the researches of cer
tain correspondents of the New York
Herald. One of them shows that the
whole country lying between the Allegha-
nies and Blue Ridge comprising the Page
andShenandoabValleysand several coun
ties, is honeycombed with immense cav
erns, abounding .in apartments of enor
mous *i*e and sparkling in the light with
all forms of chrystalization. One of these
apartments—the' diamond chamber is
described as, a perfect circle—100 feet iq

floor of a ball-room. How can old Vir
ginia be said to be solid with so many
holes in her. And there are about as
many in Kentucky and Tennessee, while
Florida is merely a crust ready to.be bro

are afraid this crust is not thick enough
to sustain that big canal they threaten.to.
dig between Cedar Keys and St. Marys.
The charge that these States are solid is
entirely groundless. They are all hollow
and cavernous.

Panama, January IS.—Early in De
cember last the Canca Valley was visited
by a very heavy rain. The water rose
until it was many yards above the highest
freshet mark designated by memory or
tradition. The inhabitants along its
course were driven from their homes. The
river roee uptil over three miles wide, and
went .raging through.the valley, carrying
all before it. Several small villages were
destroyed and some lives lost.i When the
stream subsided everything had .been de
stroyed in the way of small crops and
movables of all sorts—cattle, goats and
horses all gone. The cocoa farmers visit
ed their haciendas inDoats, trying to gath
er the crop which had. been left on the
trees- They had to go armed in order to
protect themselves against' the' immense
snakes which gathered in the trees, 1 and
which had been driven-down the valley
by force of the waters. The loss is esti-
-mated at a million dollars.

It appears that, from some cause, the

befallen him several weeks ago, resulting,
in a considerable loss to the company. In

Another Greeley Nominee.
The New York Sun, Washington cor
respondent of the 19tb, pronounces in
favor of. the nomination of somebody not
a Democrat, as the only possible chance
for killing qff Grant and the stalwarts.
The movement in the New YorkLegisla-i
ture to elec^ presidential electors by dis
tricts is the inspiration of Senator Conk-
ling, and is suggested by the fact that it
is the only possible method of defeating
p, solid vote'of that State for tire Demo
cratic candidate. The three last New
York State elections have steadily shown
(he Republicans in a' minority. In 1876;
Tilden beat all opposing candidates by a
nMyority of 30j769 votes. The election
for Judge of the Court of Appeals, in
187S, showed a Republican minority-in
the total vote of 40,472, and the election
iu 1879 showed Cornell in a miifority of
59,512. The people cannot he safety
trusted in a fight over- the third term;- It
must be submitted to tbe Republican
Congressional gerrymander, under which,
.although the two Republican electors at
large may be whipped but of sight, the
Statowill-yet Return nineteen out of the
tliirty-five electors.
Th4 icorrespondetit then quotes the
prophesy of Q’Cono'r as fbliows: j

Democrat should prevail iu the next pres

It being impossible to make up to .the
Democrats the loss of tbe thirty-five elec
toral Totes of New York, the onlYpoSsL
ble chance agaiust a third term, in his
judgment, will be to bring forward some
man whose political position will concili
ate the entire opposition of the country to
tlie third term movement. The people,
he says, dislike Grantism, but they detest
Bourhonism. Therefore, the Democrats
gnd fire softs must unite on a ticket, just
as they did for Greeley, and so sweep the
country', just as they did in 1872!
... j The wisdpm of that idea is more appa
rent in theory than in practice. A plan
, of battle founded on the idea that the, en
emy is; too strong to be whipped by any
thing but a piece of luck—a special provi
dence, or a grand scheme to divide and
Cripple him is qot worth the powder. It is
