MACON, MARCH 80 «*).
—The Union Pacific Railroad is going
to provide emigrant sleeping cars, without
increase of rates.
The total number of fires in Paris
last year (chimneys excepted) was 1,049.
The loss was a little over $1,000,000.
The Constellation Supplies for the
Irish in excess of storage room on board
the frigate Constellation have already
been tendered.
—The Gainesville Florida Bee says that
General Loring states he has returned
claim his residence in Florida, and will
remain in the State the rest of his days.
—Havana, as usual, has had yellow fe
ver all winter. The National Board
Health has information that there were
nine deaths from the fever in February,
and five during the week of March, ending
the 12th.
—It appears from a statement recently
made by the Secretary of Warthat SG9,S23
pounds of cannon, condemned as useless
for army purposes and worth $111,345,
have been given away by act of Congress
for soldiers’ monuments. The supply
is nearly exhausted.
FrostJAgain.—Ajlarge frost, says the
Augusta News, was discovered this morn
ing (Saturday), below Montmorenci, on
the South Carolina Road, about twenty-
five miles from Augusta. This may be
called the first of the spring series
frosts, and If the young sprouts and fruits
don’t keep under cover they will be hurt.
—Both Houses of the Iowa State Legis
lature have passed a constitutional amend
ment which will now go to the next Leg
islature for ratification, prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating
quors, including ale, wine and beer, and
authorizing an enactment of Sunday reg
ulations and penalties for the enforcement
of prohibition. \
—Of the seventeen daily newspapers
published in Philadelphia, eleven
strongly pronounced against the third
term movement, and one has nothing
say either way. Twelve of the thirteen
weeklies published in that city are also
opposed to the nomination of Grant, both
dailies and weeklies representing an ag
gregate circulation of 300,000 papers.
—The new treaty with China modifies
in many respects the existing treaty, es
pecially with reference to Chinese emigra
tion to this country. This subject has been
adjusted to the satisfaction of both United
States and Chinese governments. Very
practical restrictions are placed on Chin
ese emigration to this country, and under
them the abuses which have caused
much trouble on the Pacific coast will be
prevented.
—By the completion of the Southern
Pacific Railroad to Tucson, Arizona, the
capital of that far Southwestern Territory
is brought within about nine to ten days’
travel of the" notional capital. But just
think of that spread of territorial empire,
in which it requires ten days of railway
travel, continuously night and day, for the
Congressional delegate of the Territory
to reach his place in the National Con-
—Andersonville Cemetery, in Georgia,
says a northern paper, is visited by many
Northerners, but Southerners avoid the
spot. On the visitors’ bock are many
strange inscriptions, mainly of passionate
denunciation of the South by relatives of
the dead. There are a thousand stones
bearing the word “Unknown.” There
are 14,000 graves. Some of the stones
are very handsome, and seme of the
graves are kept green.
—Among the visitors to Cincinnati was
a barrel of Savannah river water, sent by
Mr. Estill of the Morning News, to be
emptied into the Ohio river at Cincinnati.
Upon each end of the barrel is inscribed;
“Only water. Water taken out of the
Savannah river at Savannah, Ga., which
floated 700,007 bales of cotton; 325,028
barrels of naval stores, 28,809,642 feet of
lumber this season. It is good for trade
and good to drink. E7”Ie carelessly.
—Miss Roseberry wanted to marry Mr.
Deputy, at Seymour, Ind., but her father
commanded her to many Mr. Bowers, and
appointed a day for the wedding., On the
evening before she secretly Became Mrs.
Deputy. She was on hand for the other
ceremony, however, and it proceeded
smoothly as far as the question whether
anybody objected, when Mr. Deputy re
marked that he had an objection—a trif
ling one, which he felt some reluctance
about mentioning—the lady was his wife.
—One happy result of the upheaval in
Russia is said to be a reconciliation be
tween the Czar and Czarina. The grati
tude of the former at his escape from
death was so great that he addressed a
communication to his wife expressing re
gret at past misconduqf, and promising
that in the future there would be no oc
casion for scandals. The Czarina’s health
is reported much improved in consequence,
and the reconciled royal pair are preparing
for a season of retirement in the moun
tains of the Austrian Tyrol.
—The railway on Vesuvius is now com
pleted. It is 900 metres long and extends
to the edge of the crater.- The road has
been built with great care, and is secured
against streams of lava. The trains are
moved by means of two wire ropes, drawn
by a steam-engine at the base of the
mountain. The wheels of the cars are so
constructed as to preclude the possibility
of their jumping the rails. Every car is
provided with a powerful automatic break,
which will prevent the vehicle from rush
ing down the slope in case a rope should
break.
—The wife of the French Consul at
Adrianople writes that thousands ol Mus
sulmans, driven by the result of war from
Bulgaria, East Roumelia, and Thrace to
take refuge in Adrianople, are starving to
death. What with the war and two bad
harvests, Thrace can’t support her own
poor, much less any outsiders. There are
20,000 of these hapless refugees in Adrian
ople, more than^ third of whom are in
absolute destitution. The French govern
ment has kindly given some assistance,
and the Consulate is surrounded all the
time by a throng whom it is impossible to
relieve.
—The patriarch of Buzzard’s Roost, a
little town within the shadow of Mount
Shasta, Cal., after seventy years of single
bliss, longed for a wife. He heard of the
Matrimonial News, tont for a copy, and
thus made the acquaintance (by letter) of
a Boston widow. But he was cautious,
and though evidently impressed in her
favor, hesitated about taking the final step.
While he hesitated leap year came, and
the widow taking advantage of that fact,
packed her trunk, telegraphed to the pa
triarch that she was going out to marry
Mm, and started. The old man accepted
the situation; they were married immedi
ately, and are happy. •
The Egyptian Dhoura.
A Decatur correspondent of the Fort
Worth (Texas) Democrat tells that he
planted half a pound of seed in May last,
of the Egyptian Dhoura, a species of corn,
on the first of May, and without any cul
tivation either with plow or hoe, by the
4th of July the top heads were ripening
and the process of forming shoots from
joints and suckers continued till frost. Af
ter a heavy loss from the depredations of
chickens and birds, he gathered eighteen
bushels of seed, and the ground was never
once wet with rain during the growth of
the crop. Two and a half bushels of the
seed were ginned into flour and pro
nounced better than corn. Stock of all
kinds eat it voraciously. The birds made
havoc of it in the field, and the blossoms
attracted the bees in swarms. The writ
er thinks he has found a substitute for In
dian corn better than the corn itself, and
infinitely preferable, considering the scar
city of rain in Texas.
The Tariff.
The other day a reporter of the Wash
ington Post interviewed the Hon.William
R. Morrison, of Illinois, about the pros
pect of his bill, cutting down all the du
ties on foreign goods in excess of fifty per
cent, of their value to that figure, and the
prospect of any tariff reduction at all.
Mr. Morrison could give no hope of either.
He said:
A few years ago any one would have
been ashamed to insist on maintaining a
duty in excess of fifty per cent. To illus
trate my idea, let me say that fifty per
cent, duty makes you pay one dollar out
of every three invested in articles forduty
—that is, the laborer who puts two or
three days’ work in sugar or salt, or any
ether necessary of life, in cheap blankets
or coarse woolen clothes even, gives oue
day of the three for taxes and protection.
Take the article of sugar, so largely used
by the pdOr.' -When the earnings of three
days’ labor is invested in that article, I
think one day is enough to give to taxes
and a few sugar planters in Louisi
ana. But now more is exacted This
article pays about sixty per cent.,
and what I proposed was to reduce it
to fifty per cent, only because I feared that
was all I could get. Even that is resisted,
and the same and more may be said of all
other articles to be affected by the bill I
introduced, and which now pays duties in
excess of fifty per cent. The sugar duty
is by no means the worst abuse, because
many articles are so highly taxed that
they are not brought to this country. Be
sides, tlje sugar duty, is mostly revenue,
about fifteen per cent, of what we use be
ing made here. The duty on the other 1
eighty-five per cent., which amounts an-
nually to about $40,000,000, is • revenue,
and goes into the Treasury. The in
creased price of the fifteen per cent.,
amounting to about $0,000,000, goes to the
planter as a bonus received by protection.
My bill would leave him $5,000,000, which
is enough. The oilier million would make
many a poor fellow’s coffee sweeter be
sides lowering the cost of all imported
sugars in proportion.”
“What effect will the non action of
Congress have in a political sense ?”
“Do you mean how it will affect the
Democratic party, which disclaims in its
platforms and throughout the country
against tariff abuses, aud then takes four
years to pass one little bill, and repeal the
duty on a single article, quinine, accom
plishing that only through a suspension
of the rule, and the assistance of many
Republicans ?”
“That’s about what I mean.”
“Oh, don’t ask me that.”
“Well, then, you say that the sugar
duty is not one of the greatest abuses of
the present tariff sytern. Name some
others.”
“Certainly not, because of the increased
price, amounting to about $40,000,000,
the Treasury gets nearly $40,000,000 and
the planters $0,000,000, because so laige a
proportion of the article used is imported.
In the case of most articles to be affected
by my bill, the proportion is just the re
vise. Nearly all of the increased price
goes to the manufacturer here, and very
little to the Treasury, because nearly all
these articles are produced here, and but
little imported. As I said, the importa
tion of many articles is practically prohib
ited, aud our manufacturers are left with
out competition from abroad, either in
cost or quality, and whatever increase of
Precocious Cotton.
Tiie Irwinton Appeal says, Mr. W. B.
Smith showed them a green cotton boll,
on last Monday, as large as a pigeon's
egg. It had been taken a day or two be
fore from a cotton stalk growing on the
plantation of Mr. W. G. Payne, in the
lower part of the county.
We presume the plant in question
sprang from the root of a stock of last
year’s cotton, which had grown In some
sheltered spot. In other words, if was
rattoon specimen. Instances of this sort
are frequently to be noted in the mild
climate of the seaboard of Georgia. The
writer has seen whole fields of Sea Island
cotton throw up shoots from the roots,
some cases putting out several feet from
the surface. Occasionally the plants
come to perfection and mature very early.
They are usually loaded with fruit, but
the staple of the fibre is short aud coarse
in this country.
Not so in Cuba. We saw cotton shrubs
of several years’ growth, as large as
man’s leg and fifteen or twenty feet ip. al
titude, on that island, thorrgh they were
isolated instances, a3 no fields of the sta
ple were to be discerned. Several open
bolls were plucked, and deposited for
some time in the public library of this
city. The staple resembled that of ordi
nary upland cotton. The case above men-,
tioned forcibly evinces the. exceeding
mildness of the past winter even in mid-,
die Georgia. As far North . as Macon
quite a number of our citizens are eating
new Irish potatoes, and had a full crop of
early vegetables been planted in Noyem-
ber, cucumbers, tomatoes .and squashes
might now be enjoyed, with the previous
protection for some half-dozen nights only
from the few frosts that h*ave supervened
The Radicals Wrathy.
In the Congressional bill appropriating
money for the payment'of United States
marshals, nothing is allowed for the ex
penses of the deputy marshals appointed
to serve on election days. This lias made
the Republicans red hot, and with Gar
field as their mouth piece, they 2 charge
that it is a deliberate attempt to • nullify
and virtually destroy the election lawS de
spite the recent decisjon of the Supreme,
Court. Loud were the threats made oh
the floor of the House to ventilate this
outrage on the hustings' during the ensil
ing presidential campaign.' But'the Ba'
timbre Sun shows that these blatant
worthies have time and again been guilty
of this identical' offense, if offeilse 'it
betermed. It says: '"' nt 11
Politicians very often are afflicted with
short memories, and therefore 'it is hot
perhaps to be wondered at that General
Garfield and his friends, , who to-day
thought the simple neglect to make an ap--
propriation such a terrible, such a danger
ous and such a revolutionary' act, forgot
that they, when in power in Congress, de
liberately did exactly the same thing over
and over again. One case in point is suf
ficient to illustrate, that of Mr. Harvey,
the United States minister to Portugal du
ring the administration of Andrew John
son. Mr. Harvey wrote a letter approv
ing the policy of President Johnson, and
for the exercise of this, his uhdoubted
right as a citizen, the Republican Con
gress refused for several years to make
any appropriation to pay his salary, al
though the law under which he heW his
appointment, was just as much a law as
the election laws. As often said, there is
absolutely nothing in the way of partisan
legislation that the Democrats can possi
bly attempt that they cannot find Repub
lican precedent for.
Sharp Canvassing for Parliament in
England.
Late advices from Europe indicate that
there will be a very spirited canvass for
seats in the new parliament, between the
Liberals and the Government party,
has been several years since the country
has been agitated by any general election,
and the critical condition of affairs on the
continent, and English complications in
the East, lend unusual interest to the con-
«- Ireland,too,will item an impor.
producer and manufacturer here, and not
by the Treasury Department. The con
sumer pays all the same.”
“Your bill, however, does not appear
to have contemplated a very radical
change in the tariff.”
“No, it was intended to lop off some of
the most flagrant wrongs of the pres
ent tariff system, which come to us from
the necessities, real or pretended of the
war.”
“Is it not, then, a free trade measure?”
“Certainly not. While we have so
large a debt we must have a laige revenue
from imports, and this, honestly laid, will
givejncidental and sufficient protection
to satisfy all reasonable men. Under the
power to raise revenue we have no right
to prohibit or prevent revenue being raised
by entirely shutting our doors by a pro
hibitory tariff. We might as well shut
up Hell Gate, and not improve New York
harbor; fill the mouth of the Mississippi
with sand bars, instead of opening it with
jetties.”
Shall we “Resk” it?—That is the
question now before the National Repub
lican Executive Committee. The Ger
mans all say they are not yet ready for
imperial Grant and a third term. Many
of them say they have not tried a republic
long enough to be certain they are ready
to give it up. They want to try it as long
as they tried the Kaiser and the Emperor.
Some of the committee say try Grant
with a proviso. Run him once more on a <
platform that “he’s not to run.again.”
Othprs say that is fool talk, for you know
that if we want a strong man with a big
club now, it will be worse four years
hence when the fools and knaves set up
their screams and groans for liberty and la
republi c. Then we must have a man who
will answer their clamor at the cannon’s
mouth. No! In for a penny, in for a
pound. If we get Grant in once more,
let it be understood he goes in to stay,and
all these soft-shell Republicans go under
to stay. Grant has got the delegates al
ready, and there is to be no more fooling.
tant factor in the programme, and both
sides will put forth their best men and
efforts.
As usual money will be spent
like water. In the old country,
however, this is looked upon as a matter
of course, and does not seem to involve
any disgrace whatever. A regular purse
is raised for campaign purposes, and votes
are bought without the least scruple or
hesitation. Not anfrequently the stand
ing of a single member for Parliament
costs him many thousand pounds.
It is said that Mr. Gladstone is working
like a beaver in the Mid-Lothian canvass.
His efforts might well challenge the ad
miration of a Western stump orator. The
Honorable gentleman made no less than
thirteen speaking appointments in one
week, and is throwing an immense amount
ofvjm inj&thegatppalgn. The elections
will take place in a few weeks, so that the
agony will soon be over.
Gexebal Grant is daily expected in

The Darien Canal.—According to a

Harrowing Picture of Irish Suffering
and a Landlord’s Brutality.
The Dublin correspondent of the Boston
Herald gives a graphic description of the
eviction of nine families for rack-rent im
posed by an absent landlord, on Lord Gox-
manston’s estate in County Meath. The
work wasclone by the sheriff and his posse
comilalus. Hear the heart-rending xd-
citali ’. . . .. j •
At 12 o’clock to-day, in the midst. ,of a
drizzling rain, when every man’s lips are
busy discussing how relief can be caitied
to this home and that, an imposing spec
tacle presented itself through a quiet part
of the parish of Kingscourt. A carriage
contained Mr. Hussey, Jr.j son of the
agent of Lord Gormanston. Behind and
before the carriage dune about a dozen
of outside cars, with a resident Magis
trate, an Inspector of Police, about
forty of. her Majesty’s force, . Hue
Sheriff and some dozen of as rapacious-
looking drivers and grippers as ever I
laid my eyes upon. There is a dead silence
at the bait before the first doomed dopr.
That silence was. broken by myself ad
dressing tbe agent, craving to'let the poor
people in again after the vindication, of
the law, when; to mv disgust, but not . .to
my dismay, one of the crowd is observed
by me taking notes. The sheriff formally
asks: “Have you the rent!” The' trem
bling answer is. “My God! how could I
have the whole rent; and such a rent, .-on
such a soil, and in such a year .as this?”
“Out, out,” is the word, and right heartily
the grippers set to work. Dm the: dung
pit is flung the scanty furniture, bed ana
bedding; a search is made for pig or goat,
and forthwith they share the fate of the
evicted master, the door is nailed, and the
imposing army marches on to the. next
holding, till every house has been visited
and every soul sent forth. A£ • this. mo
ment there is a downpour of rain on that
miserable fumiture-rOhthat poor bed and.
this in particular, has left them unable to
pay the entire rent of this year. Yes, en
tire rent—the half, the nine-tenths of the
rent would not be accepted. Priests
joined the poor tenantry in petitioning
again and again. No answer was given
but ‘Have you the whole rent? Have
you law expenses ? If not, put you go.’
Lack of space prevents us from instanc
ing other cases. But this single picture
is enough tostir the heart of free America
where even the humblest colored citizen
wiCh the least modicum of industry may
occupy his own cottage and possession of
land. Can it be deemed strange that un
der such merciless treatment the popula
tion of Ireland should have been reduced
from eight to five millions?
A Hard Case.
Two employes of a railroad in Balti
more have been discharged, because they
were drawn as jurors and forced to serve
under the heavy penalty of the law. This
js what we call the grossest oppression
imaginable. Jury duty is not only
right, but a privilege accorded to all who
are qualified under the Constitution, and
no man should be deprived of this pre
rogative of citizenship. We are not aware
whether, by the laws of Geoigia, any em
ployer would be sustained in discharging
a clerk or assistant for merely obeying
the laws of the Commonwealth. If such
be the case, however, remedial legislation
and that at the earliest moment,'is cer
tainly needed. -

/:> CANDLELIGHT SERMON.
A Packed Church to Listen to John
Wanamaker Last Night.
Mr. John Wanamaker held services at
the Chambers Presbyterian Church last
night, corner Broad and Sansoin streets,
Which packed the house from top to Bot
tom. An “Illustrated Candle Sermon’’
was the form of the announcement. Up
behind the pulpit Mr. Wanamaker stood,
with a series of lighted candles before
him, each one shorter than tbe other, so
that from tbe beginning of tbe series,
which was a full length candle, to the
ending, which was a short stump of a can
dle, so many stages of life were repre
sented. The first candle was youth,the last
was old age; those intermediate represent
ed the various stages of life between these
two extremes. Mr. Wanamaker’s sermon
received its illustrations from these lights
before him, and plain and striking these
illustrations were in their garb of the
simple, well-chosen words with which he
treated his subject. The hopes and aspi
rations of youth were dwelt upon, the
first candle serving to elucidate this stage,
Then a more mature stage of life was
reached, the second candle serving to ex
plain the character and aim of a person
at twenty years of age, and so on down
until seventy years was reached, this be
ing the limit of the series. It was a most
interesting sermon, and the attention
throughout was profound. Galleries and
auditorium were packed with people.
Coming toward the close of his sermon
Mr. Wanamaker took up another long
candle and began to try it in various
candlesticks in the block on which the
series was arranged. Every attempt was
failure, as one candlestick would
be too large, another too
small, and so on, not one being the
right size. This, he explained, was to il
lustrate the character of men who were
constantly thinking that if they were un
der different circumstances or surrounded
by different'associations they could do
something. “If I had only been educated
when I was young,” said one, “then I
could do this or do that and be of some
use.” “If I was only a good speaker,”
said another, “I could be occupying such
and such a position.” ' Ail this time the
candle remained unlightcd in addition to
tbe fact that it would not fit anywhere.
No stronger illustration was needod as to
the speaker's meaning. “Ifonly people
would get rid of the idea that it was tbe
fault of things around them that they
were riot doing some good then they
would be making the right beginning. No
man, however humble, was incapable of
doing good ifjie would only act out tbe
good that was in him, and not spend the
time saying that they were of no use in
the world.”—Philadelphia Times.

Wise Words Well Spoken.
We commend to our readers the follow
ing from tha Nashville American, on the
probable results of the present colored
emigration; I>l -
Thg exodus„Is -solving;a very grave
iroblem in a very satisfactory way. The
mmigration of thrifty, industrious white
people, to take the place of those who are
going to Kansas, is > affording .Tennessee
an excellent excliange. The distribution of
this race problem throughout the country
is ainc&t desirable solution, for it leaves no
problem to solve. With a very little more
emigration, the negro wiil be lost in tbe
great ocean of population, and , will be no
longer a matter of any consequence. We
did not seek that solution; tbe majority
of the people of the South are opposed to
it. But, whether they sought it oropposed
it, nothing will stay the tide which is set
ting so strongly toward thd North, for the
benefit,' in the long run, of the negro and
the South, whatever temporary injury it
may do special industries.
THE MAC0NITES IN THE WEST.
How the Southern Visitors are Re
ceived and Treated in the Queen
City; ,
Cincinnati, O., March 19,1880.
When this city was reached, as I wrote
you in my last, at a little after 1 o’clock a.
m., busses in abundance were drawn up
at the depot. All were ridden free to the
hotels. Cincinnati was overwhelmed with
visitors. Our party took a morning ride
of an hour and a Half seeking a place to
lay our heads. Finally a place was reach
ed where the economical sign of “lodg
ings 15 cents, meals 15 ceuts,” stared the
traveler in the face. Two of the party
were apointed a committee to investigate.
After an absence of two minutes tbe com
mittee returned prepared to report. They,
with due form and ceremony said that
they had but partially discharged their
duty as they had not fully investigated the
cuisine of the establishment, but in their
judgment the charge for lodgings under
the existing circumstances was exhorbi-
tant. Finally all were stowed away on
cots, lounges and a very few in chairs
Good fortune overtook us and we safely
landed in the Gibson House, one of tbe
the most elegant of Cincinnati’s elegant
lioteis.
After late breakfast the excursionists,
with their fluttering budges of blue, be
gan the tour of the city under the es-
poinage of their Cincinnati friends. The
remnants of one of the most gorgeous il
luminations which had taken place the
evening before were to be seen every where
showing that the whole city bad given it
self up to the festivities of tbe Lour, and
everything beautiful in tbe way of fire
works, bunting and Chinese lanterns had
been employed to give brilliance to the
auspicious occasion.
At noon, the principal merchants of the
Southern visitors met the Cincinnatians
on change, and were received with." a
speech from the President, Mr. Brown,
A poem, written for the occasion by ReV.I
J. H. Martin, of Atlanta, was read by
Mr. Crane of the same city. 1 Governor
Marks, of Tennessee, made a telling
speech, alluding to the late war in a most
felicitous manner, and bringing out the
most tumultuous applause. Governor
Colquitt followed in an effort which Was
applauded to the echo for its conservative
tone and warm appreciation, j

capacity is ten.tbousand, and on the night
of this grand spread at least" six thousand
persons wire; in the hall, ,either on the
floor of tbe immense parquette or ih the
balcony and gallery as J: spectators. The
hall itself id a wonder ofbeantiful archi
tecture. It is, with the adjacent buildings,
the property of the city, and was built at
a cost of $350,000, of which amount $175,-
000 was contributed by Mr. David Linton,
a retired'capitalist.' ''
On tbe floors of the hall seventeen hun
dred and seventy-six tickets were repre
sented, anil five hundred and thirteen
waiters ministered"' to the wants of the
banqueters. So spacious are tbe propor
tions of the hall, that notwithstanding
nearly twenty-five liirifdred persons were
on the floor, around forty immense tables,
not a jostle occurred. The scene was oue
which can never be forgotten. It was
brilliant beyond comparison. Around the
hall were ranged ten thousand flags of ail
nations. The tables, the stage, every
where fairly bloomed with flowers, while
over all the strains of one of the most
magnificent and stately organs, alternated
by the Cincinnati Reed Band, flooded the
hall with music such as has been heard
but few times*by those assembled. The
music was an especial feature. During
tbe evening the band, situated in tbe bow
of the balcony, struck up in response to
an encore tbe familiar strains of “Dixie.”
The effect was electric. A thousand nap
kins waved in air, six thousand voices
mingled in the cheers, while as one man
the banqueters rose and cheered until it
seemed thU echo would never die away.
Just.waiting long enough for the applause
to die away, the band followed up “Dixie”
with the “Star Spangled Banner.” It was
thought enthusiasm was at its
height before, but now tbe
applause and - cheers were re
doubled, and shout after shout went up.
All rose to their feet. Napkins floated in
tbe air, the ladies who were looking down
from above waved their handkerchiefs,
men cheered until they were hoarse, many
mounting to their chairs, gave way to the
enthusiasm of the moment in repeated
cheers, and the scene is one which pencil
cannot paint or limner portray. To crown
all the swelling strains of the grand or
gan, located across the hall, took up the
chords of the chorus with the hand, mak-
it one of the grandest pcans ever heard in
this country.
The banquet was pronounced the most
magnificent ever given in America. To
show the completeness of the arrange
ments, at the plate of each guest was the
menu on satin and exquisite boutonnier.
Speeches followed, Mayor Jacobs arid
Governor Foster welcoming the guests.
Following were responses to toasts by
Hou. E. A. Furguson, Cincinnati, Hon.
Luke P. Blackburn, Governor ofKentucky,
Hon. A. S. Marks, Governorof Tennessee,
Governor Colquitt, Hon. Leslie E. Brooks,
of Alabama, M. E. Ingalls,* of Cincinnati,
and Hon. H. Y. M. Miller, of Atlanta.
The festivities lasted from eight o’clock
until two in the morning. .
Everything has been conducted on a
most magnificent and regal style. The
welcome has been heartfelt and grand.
The South, or so much of it as is repre
sented here, is captive, and Cincinnati, in
Southern eyes, is now the Queen City in
deed in enterprise, in beauty, in hospital
ity, and, if the wishes of all here could be
realized, will be queen also of success and
prosperity she so justly merits.
’ THE ROAD.
The grand and successful inauguration
of the road gives bright promise of sue-
cess in tbe future.. It is one of tbe most
magnificent enterprises ever planned by
modern engineering, and one of the grand
est achievements in its completion of the
age.: The-road pierces a section of country
which has been regarded as impracticable
for ilie building of a railroad, but through
the heart of the hills, far above the water
courses, along ledges of the everlasting
rocks, over the crest of ridges, through
glades of surpassing picturesquecess and
romantic beauty, the iron steed now re
joices in his startling career. The road is
an illustration of the invincible enteiprise
of this people. It is built by the city,
eighteen million dollars having been sub
scribed to tbe road. The road right of
way and everything except the equipments
are owned by the Cincinnati Southern
Railway Company. The rolling stock is
owned by a separate company, the Cin-
cinnati Southern Railroad Company, and
is valued at $300,000. The latter compa
ny is guaranteed a dividend of seven per
cent, on the investment of $300,000, and
the surplus earnings go to the company
owning the road.
A bill is now pending in" the Ohio Leg
islature for an appropriation of $300,060
for terminal improvements, and the prob
abilities are that the bill will be passed.
For an example of the princely expendi
tures made by the road it may be men
tioned that the Ohio river bridge, whose
lofty proportions have been already noted,
cost $2,000,000. It is one of the finest
structures on the globe. And just here
comes in one of the finest points of advan
tage which the Cincinnati Southern lias
over other competing lines in the way of
freights. .The bridge is the property of
the City, consequently of the road, and
hence has nothing to pay for the privi
lege of running cars across it. In St.
Louis a charge, we understand, of about
six dollars per car is made for tbe simple
crossing of the river. This amounts up to
a great deal in the course of the year, and
has, of course, to be made' up in tbe sell
ing price or lost to the buyer..
Maconites here are having a gorgeous
time. They are especially well taken
care of.
Among the Georgians here are Govern
or Colquitt and daughter; Captain J. H.
Estill, Savannah; Hon. Samuel Barnett,.
The Excursionists in the Queen City.
Cincinnati, Omo,
MaVch 20th, 1880.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger:—
The impression that Cincinnati is a great
place has firmly been planted in tbe minds
of tbe excursionists from the South. The
longer they stay the deeper is the impres
sion, and the hosts of Southerners never
seem to tire in their ondeavors to make
all things agreeable. The blue badges of
tbe excursionists have been passports eve
rywhere, and such generous hospitality
has been enjoyed but seldom either in the
frigid North or in the sunny South.
Business here is simply immense. The
wholesale jobbing trade overreaches the
expectations of all, while the manufactur
ing interests make the city one of the bus
iest on the globe. A
segis of prosperity in the

In my father’s poultry yard, says a
writer in Chambers’ Journal, was a game
cock, tbe most beautiful bird of the kind
I ever saw. He bad several wives, and it
was a curious tiling to see tbe different
airs and graces of tbe ladies in his train.
He wa3 an inveterate fighter, it lie could
escape from theyard, which was surround

The Fewer of Webster’s Eyes.
The first criminal case Mr. Webster
was engaged in was when in the practice
of the law at Boscawen. He was junior
counseled the case was tried at Plymouth.
At the examination of a witness, who was
one of your moderate speaking, self-poiseu
men, the impression was fixed upon the
minds of the counsel that he had not tola
all. Every approach the ingenuity of the
counsel could make was made upoa
him, still he was the same.
Jeremiah Smith, of Exeter, was the
presiding Judge, a man unequaled in his
acuteness. He questioned the witness
with similar success. As he was stepping
down from the stand, Mr. Webster, giving
the .witness one of his looks, said: “Nr.
Witness!” ashed him one question, and
drew from him the answer they had been
so long after. Upon another occasion!
while he resided at Portsmouth, a man
from Newmarket was prosecuted and sum

certain hour of the day. Webster in
quired: “Before whom are you sum

reputation, which Webster knew. S®
mounting his horse, he rode in a chill

court room he found the Justices awaiting
his arrival before a good fire. He stopped
at the fire to warm himself, occasionally
turning his eyes upon the oflensiveJustice.
The justice rose, went out of the room
and did not return, and as the law requir
ed his client to be arraigned before three
Justices, and there were but twe
he secured his discharge, thus “looking
justice off the bench.”
