FRIDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 1, 1871.
News Items.
Hon. O. G. Clay.—The Montgomery Adverti
ser says ex-Senator Clay was in that city last
Monday, representing tho Life Association of
America.
Great Turn Out of the Istebnatioxars.—
At the groat parade of the Communists, to come
off in New York city, the 15th inst., they boast
that they will show fifty thousand men in solid
column.

valno of $7,415,182. On which the State tax,
at four-tenths of one per cent, will bo $29,-
CC0.72, and tho county tax nt three-tenths, will

The Darien Neohoes seem to havo sot up a
High Court of Admiralty with tho idea of tak
ing possession of every craft, domestic and for
eign, which enters their delectable port. They
are a gay set of fellows.
Within tho past year the interdict has been
raised from beer and lager in Boston, and tho
result is the consumption of 383,435 barrels ale
and 58,005 of lager, at a cost of three million
dollars. What thirsty pilgrims 1
The Now Orleans Dunn Radicals have started
a new paper called tho “ Mitrailleuse." The
name refers to the Gatlin guns posted beforo
Grant's Custom-house Convention. They are
tho original of tho French “mitrailleuso.”
Cbops in Ahabua.—Tho Greensboro’ (Ala.)
Beaoon, on tho authority of a gentleman who
has just travelled over the cotton belt of Ala
bama, says the present crop will make no more
of the staple than now hangs on the stalk.
Rust, boll and army worms will finish up the
remainder.
The Pbxsident flits into Washington to hold
a Cabinet meeting about onco a fortnight and
summons three or four of tho fugitivo Cabinet
to his aid. They meet and vanish like a dream.
Sometimes the reporters don’t know that ho has
been there. At other times it leaks out and they
telegraph the fact.
The blondes ore after Grant. Miss Lydia
sung, last Friday night at Wollack’s, the popu
lar song, “If ever I eeaso to love,” and inter
polated a verso as follows :
“If over I cease to love,
If ever I coaso to lovo.
May Qrant return tho lot
Of the pres on ts that he's got,
If over I eeaso to love.”
This, says the Son, “brongbt down the
house” in a tumult which lasted half a minute.
Steam Boiheb Slaughters.—The Montgom
ery Advertiser says, “by tho bursting of steam
boilers in various parts of the world during the
lost twenty-seven days, there havo been 1420
killed and injured. And strange to say the
most fatal of all the accidents have occurred on
tho Sabbath day. Was it all “accident” ? or
was tbero a warning in it ?
Montgomery Items.—The Advertiser says one
lono whito man and thirty-seven darkies mako
op the occupants of the county jail of Mont
gomery oounty. Eleven bales of new crop cot
ton were received on Monday. Numerous dis
gusted farmers were in town on Monday, from
various surrounding counties. Tho Advertiser
says “there is no doubt of the fact that the
crops in this section are seriously and hopeless
ly damaged.’’
What i* a Capitalist?—What amonnt of
money dooms a man to death as a “bloated cap
italist” and an enemy of tho people ? The Lon
don Internationals have settled on the precise
sum—five hundred thalers or $305 in our cur
rency. Therefore, if any working man is so
foolish as to lay by a dollar per day ont of the
labor of the year, ho puts himself within the
proscribed olass and is a “vessel of wrath” de
voted to destruction, and his assets are to be
invested in lager and whisky for the brethren
of the oommnne.
Woman’s Rights.—Martha Perry Lowe—a
sensible woman in tbe Old and New, says that
woman cannot sneoeed in tho “work of self-
emaneipation in antagonism to men.” They
may get “their rights," and then find them not
worth having. The right to antagonise men in
the political arena—at the bar and in polemics
—the right to perform severe mental and phys
ical labor, in eithor case physically deforming—
tbe right to have big bones, rough skins and
bard bands, is just simply the right to enter
into a competition where suoeess is impossible
at the sacrifice of her great and peculiar element
of strength.
Cruelty to Animals.—Tho Commercial Ad
vertiser says there is no other place on tho globe
where horses are so cruelly used as in New York.
That, we suppose, may be true. Tho omnibus
and street ear companies were said to operate
on the hypothesis that it was cheaper to nse np
a horse by overwork in three years than to keep
on adequate number. But, nevertheless, the
horses were fed—they were not starved to death.
Now, in those piping days of African freedom
starvation is the inevitable doom of the gallant
steed in Maoon. To-day, he is harnessed to a
lady's carriage with lnstrona trappings, and is
pampered with attention and high feeding.—
By and by, he descends to meaner occupations,
and at last, Jack Suffrage gets him for a ten
dollar bill. He is tied with a rope harness to a
crazy wagon nnd employed by daylight in haul
ing wood to town at a dollar a load, while at
night he brouses around among weeds and
brambles. In three months he drops dead by
tho roadside and is left a sacrifice to the buz
zards. That is the fate awaiting all onr gallant
steeds, unless they are fortunate enough to die
in their prime.
The Mobile Holocaust—The Register prints
minnte details of tho awful catastrophe at Point
Clear last Sunday. The main facts have already
been given in our telegrams. Ono of the wit
nesses says:
There was a large number of Creole girls on
board, only one of whom escaped. I notioed a
party of young ladies—all strangers—In charge
of a young man from the city. I saw them all
blown up. I saw one of the young ladies up in
the air. I estimate the loss in killed and
wonnded at abont 70.
Another witness says:
I was sitting in the eastern end of the hotel
piazza, abont sixty yards from tbe boat. A
young girl, one of the passengers, attracted my
attention by her tardy movement towards the
boat. She was walking very slowly, though the
boat was about to put off. She seemed to hes
itate and look back. Then she started forward
at a quicker pace, and was about 40 yards from
the boat, when the explosion occurred. In
that caso there was safety iu delay, for a half
minnte more, and she would have reached the
fatal spot The boat gave out a qneer, hissing
sound, for some time before the explosion.
Then came the report, followed by a rumbling,
hisaing sound. Fragments of timber and metal
flew in all directions. The fore-part of the
boat and cabin were completely carried away.
The chimney fell towards the stern of the
boat crushing the upper cabin. The boat
immediately sank, with her bow submerged.—
The tide was rather high, and tho depth
of water around the boat was not less than
abont seven feet. I knew, in a moment, that it
must be a great disaster, and I hurried to the
spot to see what I could do for the victims. I
met a wild, surging crowd of consternated sur
vivors hurrying from the scene, some wild with
grief at the loss of relatives. Just under the
boat were several persons, some swimming,
some holding on to pieces of floating timber, and
some who could not swim, alternately rising and
sinking, soon to perish if help came not. Hard
ly a boat was to be had, until too late to rescue
the drowning. The guests of the hotel and the
residents turned out in a body, and rendered
every possible assistance. Large numbers of
boats were harried to the scene, but they arrived
too late to save the drowning. All was over
with them in loss than five minutes. * *
The number of passengers of the Ware, is
only conjectural, and so is the nnmber of the
lost. But the boat was certainly crowded, and
it is safe to estimate thennmber aboard at over
two hundred. Very many of those were chil
dren, and many little hats and bonnets came
ashore to tell the tale of the little victims be
neath the waves. How many were lost, it is
impossible to know. The nnmber will proba-
b!y never be accurately known.
The same witness says, the boiler was not so
much exploded as torn open with a long seam.
It was so rotten as literally to tear open. The
Advertisor gives the follcftviog incident editori
ally :
Happy and Unconscious —Among the many
scenes incident to tho blowing np of the Ocean
Wave, we turn from those of a harrowing nature
to note that of a little babe about seven months
of age, who was found immediately after the
accident jammed in between two heavy beams,
kicking up its little heels and smiling amid the
dreadful carnage, perfectly happy and uncon
scious. In this condition it was found by its
agonized mother, who was rushing frantically
abont, supposing her infant to be lost.
A Dangerous Experiment.
According to the Versailles telegram of yes
terday, the French National Assembly has de
clared itself “a constituent body” by a vote of
433 to 227. This step was taken amid great ex
citement, dariDg which the President put his
hat upon his head. Tho minorily at a caucus
over which Gambetta presided, found itself so
mnch divided that tho movement for a dissolu
tion of the Assembly has been abandoned.
Tho assumption of constituent or organic pow
ers by tho Versailles Assembly, is the assumption
of the right to establish a permanent govern
ment, and must havo been made with the full
intention to exercise those powers, or it is as
idle fnlmination. Our memory is at fault if tho
same Assembly has not very often since its or
iginal organization at Buuidennx, doclincd to
assume these powers, and declared, through
prominent representatives of tho majority, in
debate, that it did not possess them. In point
of historical fact, it was created for no such pur-
poso. It was elected during a truce, while
Franco was virtually at the feet of Germany, for
the single purpose of concluding terms of peace.
Tho revolt of the Communists made itnocessary
to protract and enlarge tho powers of the As
sembly and of tho executive it had been forced,
as a necessary incident, to extemporize; but it
was never pretended dnriDg tho civil war that
this Assembly had eithor tho power or design to
establish a permanent government for Franco.
On tho contrary, it was charged as the highest
crime of tho Communists, that they plunged the
country into tho agonies of a civil war without
awaiting a plebiscitum which should deiermino
the character of the future government.
The usurpation will, therefore, awaken a very
violent antagonism to tho Assembly among the
French people. It will concentrate against it
for a time all animosities, however antagonists
in their character, and most probably disperse
it at last by popnlar or military force. It will
be the signal for another violent revolution, and
that probably in the course of a few weeks.
.
Our Street Railroad.
Tho street in front of the Brown Honse and
Spotswood hotel, presents a busy and stirring
appearance at present, from the swarms of
workmen who aro engaged in sawing off and
planting tho cross-ties, preparatory to laying the
iron of the track, which is already distributed
along tho lino. At first an experiment, it has
at length been demonstrated in practice, that
street railroads, beside affording tho cheapest
and most pleasant mode of transportation to
the people, aro in themselves highly profitable
investments.
An intelligent Savannah merchant recently
informed ns that the statistics of these roads
show large profits in every city numbering as
many as twelve thousand inhabitants, while
they have proved a success even in much smaller
towns.
The Savannah enterprise which was com
pleted a little more than one year ago, and cost
$80,000, has already earned $20,000, or twenty
per cent, upon its capital. We mention this
for tho encouragement of those publio spirited
citizens who have taken onr railroad in hand.
Fair week alone, will doubtless go far towards
rewarding them for tho risk and expense in-
onrred.
Macon with its broad streets, its Yineville,
and Tatnall Square, its Windsor Hill, and mag
nificent distances generally, is of all cities best
adapted to £he street railroad system. Not only
will pedestrians in long summer days bless the
the originators of the enterprise, but the en
hanced value of property now too remote from
bnsiness contres will pay the cost of construc
tion many times over. Success to onr city rail
road.
Moore, Jenkins & Co.—We find in the New
York Trade Reporter, of last Saturday, a hand
some compliment to the above flourishing gro
cery honse of that city. One of the firm, Major
H. S. Hughes, is especially well known in Geor
gia and the South generally, where he is de
servedly popnlar, and commands a big trade of
the most solid description. He is a Georgia
boy, but for many years has been a resident of
New York city, where his energy and business
capacity, in connection with that of his go
ahead associates is, we are pleased to know,
winning substantial reward. The firm has re
cently moved into a magnificent six story build
ing faced with free stone on the corner of West
Broadway and Franklin streets, with a frontage
of 100 feet on the first, and 50 feet on the lat
ter. From basement to the uppermost floor
everything is chock-full with not an inch of
spare room.
The Trade Reporter concludes its notice as
follows, which is certainly an endorsement of
which any firm might well be prond:
We regard the house of Moore, Jenkins & Co.
among tbe largest, most reliable, if not the
leading establishment of its class in the States,
it certainly ranks high, and deservedly so,
wherever it is known. Its customers can be
counted by hundreds on its ledgers.
Rev. < lament Vanglmu.
The congregation and numerous friends and
admirers of this estimable Christian gentleman
and divine, will be happy to learn that, deo to-
Unte, he will return to his charge in this city
abont the middle of September.
Mr. Vaughan has been absent for a few weeks
on a visit to his family in Virginia, and we trust
will resume his ministerial labors, revived in
strength and refreshed in spirit.
Few men surpass him in close and analytical
reasoning, and his discourses aro models in
pnrity of style and depth and fervor of piety.
Genial in disposition, and perfectly natural and
unpretending in his manners, he is especially a
favorite with the young men of the city. Mr.
Vaughan is at present the stated supply of the
Presbyterian pulpit, and the successor of Dr.
Wills.
Lost their East Friend.
The scallawags and carpet-baggers of the
South havo always found in the virtuous Forney
their staunchest friend. He resembles them so
nearly in their most salient characteristics, that
it was but natural his soul should cleave unto
them as his brethren. But from the following
we judge even Forney’s stomach is turning.
The symptoms of a vomit certainly show very
strong in these words:
Recent developements in Southern politics
show that the Republicans of that section are on
the eve of an inevitable fight between honesty
and corruption. It is a fact which cannot bs
disguised, and which we have never attempted
to conoeal, that a large and influential portion
of the men who represent the Republican party
in the South are mere adventurers, without any
interest in the suoeess of the organization other
than money-making.
THE UEOKUIA I’ltKSS.
Judgo James Torry, a well known citizen of
Colnmbus, died last Tuesday.
The Greenwood & Gray, or Alston warehouse,
in Columbus, wsb sold Tuesday for $14,600.
The Colnmbus City Council has ordered a
new Jeffreys steamer, third class, double cylin
der, and with all the latest improvements.
The editor of the Southeast Georgian has
seen tho Hi Kimball Honse, and here is what
he say3:
It’s a beautifnl house. Amidst its bowers, Us
frescoed, grand, glittering parlors, the mem
ber of the Legislature at nine dollars a day, can
have his heaven, and listen to the music of a
sixteen string band aDd the voice of his night-
ingal, and enjoy the felicities of the only para
dise perhaps that will ever be his. So mole it
be.
There were twenty-three deaths in Savannah
for the week ending Saturday, 2Gih nit.
Savannah claims *.* the largest aggregate cir
culation” on a gentle swine with five feet and of
both sexes. Piggy only walk3 on four of tho
legs, however. A speculative loylist of brunette
complexion bought him in Johnson county for
$15.
Richard 'Williams, emphatically a man and
brother, in the employ of F. D. Grosclande, a
Savannah jeweller, is in trouble about a httle
matter of two silver watches, one plated ditto,
one set of jewelry, and a number of watch
chains, which had, somehow, found their way
into one of his ooat pockets.
Two well known citizens of Savannah formed
a syndicate near the Palaski Honse, Tuesday,
which resulted in a general “bust-up,” ono of
them being knocked clean out of time. We
know their names, but mako it a rule never
to gratify idle enriosity.
That old black Kn klux, Tunis Campbell, had
an ovation from the other Darien negroes, when

hat was passed around a la Tomer.
Tho Savannah Republicans, of Wednesday,
says:
Yellow Fever in Beaufort.—We were in
formed by a gentleman yesterday that he had
seen a letter, from a reliable source, which
statod that tho yellow fever had reached Beau
fort, S- C., having been brought there from the
phosphate works where seven or eight cases had
prevailed. The casos in Beaufort proved fatal.
The News, same date, has the following:
The A. & G. Railroad.—Trains Expected
to Run Through To day.—The washes along
tho lino of the Atlantio and Golf Railroad, men
tioned in the News of yesterday, have not yet
been fully repaired, owing to the discovery of
another slight break, which necessitated the
withdrawal of a part of the force engaged in
making the repairs. It is expected, however,
that the entiro line will be put in good order
daring the day, and that trains leaving this city
will ran through on regular schedule time, and
that all trains delayed at point beyond the
washes will be able to come through. The mail
which left Jacksonville on the 25th arrived at
Postoffica yesterday. No freight has been sent
over the road for several days, and even tho
Southern Express Company refused to take any
thing except very light packages.
Four young ladies, Misses Agnes Brown, EL
la Kennedy, and Agnes McMahon, of Savannah,
and Miss Broderick, of Augusta, took tho white
voil, at Savannah, last Monday, and two novices
were made fall sisters : Mis3 Mary Enright, in
religion Sister Mary Augustin, and Miss Mary
O'Connor, in religion Sister Mary Gonzaga.
We clip the following items from the Chron
icle and Sentinel, of Wednesday:
Communication with Charleston.—Under
the authority granted them on Monday by the
Health Committee and Board of Health, Aider-
man Meyer, acting Mayor, and Alderman Ford,
Chairman of tbe Board, have been consulting
with Major Hnli, agent of tho South Carolina
Railroad in this city, relative to railway commu
nication between Augusta and Charleston. On
yesterday evening wo learned that an arrange
ment had almost been concluded between the
parties which will prevent any cars entering this
oity from Charleston. It is proposed to have
trains from this city to meet all trains from
Charleston at Branchville, and at that place
change all the freight, passengers and baggage.
Charleston Merchants Coming.—We learn
that a large number of Charlestonians have fled
from their city on account of the yellow fever
epidemic, and that additional crowds are leaving
daily. Every train come3 full to Augusta, and
many more aro expected. Several Charleston
merchants expect to do bnsiness here during
the fall, and our city will be benefitted by the
misfortunes of her unhappy sister. On yester
day ono Charleston merchant telegraphed a
friend here to secure him a store, and others are
reported coming.
Col. John L. Rowland, of Bartow county, died
in Galveston on the 19th nit.
We clip the following items from the Atlanta
Constitution, of yesterday:
The State Road Books.—Tho gentlemen se
lected to take charge of theso books, Messrs.
Redwine, Rawson and Hammock, have virtual
ly taken possession, and will bo formally and
thoroughly installed to-day. This is a most
satisfactory arrangement, and will doubtless
lead to the most thuroughinspeclionand exami
nation.
Illustrious Calaeoosites. — Two colored
lads, recently in tbe calaboose bere, gave tbeir
names aa “Abe Lincoln” and “General Grant.”
True to their characteristics, the first one told
anecdotes, and the latter expressed a willing
ness to receive presents.
Mysterious Absence.—We learn that young
St. Johns, a clerk in the Atlanta postoffice, left
this city on the 23d of July last, mysteriously,
and his family are distressed about him. At
the time be left the postoifice was in debt to him,
The Millar Ca-e—From tho report of the
proceedings m the preliminary examination of
W. D. R. Millar, of Savannah, it will be seen
that a farther hearing of the oise has been con
tinned for two weeks. We learn that Mr. Mil
lar has given bond in the sum of $8,000.
The Era of tbe same date says:
The Habeas Corpus Case—James Alexander
Released on Twenty Thousand Dollars Bail.
Mr. James Alexander, charged with the murder
of Hampton Whitehead, colored, was brought
before Judge Pittman, Ordinary, on a writ of
habeas corpus. Messrs. Candler & Hulsey ap
peared for the defendant, Mr. Thrasher for the
prosecution.
Judge Pittman granted bail in tho snm of
$20,000. The prosecution applied to Judge
Hopkins for certiorari, which he signed, but
the defendant gaue the required bond and was
released.
‘•Beware of the Vidders.”—It is stated on
good authority that a charming and bnxom
young widow of this city, who is so terribly
afraid of thunder and lightning, and, in conse
quence, during the recent severe storms was in
tbe habit of clasping her lily white hands and
flying with pathetic distraction into her neigh
bor Smith’s honse (Smith is a widower) for fear
of being killed by “that awful lightning,” is
abont to marry the harassed Smith, who got
tired of being always on the defensive.
Tue Rome Commercial of yesterday says the
monster (Humphreys) who escaped from Kings
ton jail, in which he had been imprisoned for
killing his child, came very near being captured
in Kingston last Friday. One of his pursuers
knocked him down with a rock, bnt only suc
ceeded in capturing his hat The wretch says
he will surrender as soon as he kills his wife;
that he will be willing to die as soon as he ac
complishes this.
Onr Senatorial Candidate.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger : The thanks
of the people of the district are eminently due
the delegates to the Forsyth Convention for
nominating Col. T. J. Simmons. I somehow
or other never thought of him in connection
with the office until I saw it announced in yonr
paper yesterday morning; and yet there is not
a man in all the district more perfectly acceptable,
more worthy to fill it, or who would reflect more
honor upon the people if he is elected. Of his
election I cannot entertain a doubt, for Geor
gia needs such men in her Legislature now.
There is not a blemish upon his good name—
there is net a doubt of his integrity—there is
not a question of his ability to fill a position
much higher than the one in question. I trust
there will be no opposition to him, for the citi
zens of the counties he proposes to represent,
of all shades and parties, could not elect a gen
tleman who would more satisfactorily serve
them. Gbafton. i

and workmanlike manner,under the personal super
vision of Mr. JOHN WINSHIP, a first-class ma
chinist of more than twonty years’ practical experi
ence—giving his exclusive attention to the manu
facture and improvement of Cotton Gins. Those
wanting Gins can find them with numbers of testi
monials as to fast work—picking seeds clean, and
leaving lint in good condition, making it sample
