Cf?£ (Sieeicgia Utility imft Jmmral & IKiessorng**:,. 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: Miles.

SI . 42 . 160 . 734 . 138 . 197 3,572 Total 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. —A Galveston paper, having announced the birth of twins to a Mrs. Archer, of that city, another journal thinks her hus band must, be the party referred to in the. quotation: “Insatiate Archer, would not suffice.” Itrnnswick MatwjiK-nMle. We learn that on last Tuesday evening one of the most elegant masquerades that has ever taken place in .Brunswick came off. It was very finely arranged that no objectionable parties could gain entrance to the hall. About eighty maskers engaged in the dancing and withnumbers of hand some costumes the scene was quite gay. It has been a long time since such a pleas ant evening was spent;. >" 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. H. H. Gobbinge, Lieutenant Commander U. S. N. 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. llaner.

The State Agricultural Society meets soon in Cuthbert, and if Macon wishes to retain the State Fair this year, measures should be taken at once looking towards that end. The Augusta papers are full of fair talk, and it is thought a deter mined effort will be made in that quaitcr to secure the fair. Macon is eminently the place. All sections have a better op portunity of attending the exhibitions here than in any other place in the State, The success of the last two fairs show conclusively that our city is able to get up and sustain the State Fair. The matter should he looked after at once, and the fair should be retained by all means. : The Cc'bmm. The supervisors of the census have all now been appointed for Georgia. Mr. Charles R.

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, C. Sailors, Mrs. D. Flanders, Mrs. Henry Freeman, assisted by Misses Nettie Dun lap, Cora Nutting, Susie Edwards, Dovie Powell, Lelia .Cook, Carrie Butts and Mrs. H. M. Brown. . 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 diameter, and with a floor as level as the 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 ken through anywhere you dig a well. We, 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. BY TELEGRAPH uousxa, Me., January 22.—The.Fu- -Point; Albemarle Sound, Xorth-Carolina. .of the regular line.

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.

Tho Savannah escaped without material injury, losing her fore top mast and some spars only.

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.

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.
