Telegraph & Messenger. 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. Muscogee County returns taxnbles to the 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 be $22,256.54—total $51,900.27. 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 ha got back there after his trial in Sovannah. He told thes he had been a martyr for their sakos, and they must pay tho expenso, so the 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.
