FRIDAY MOUSING. NOV. 17. 1871.
• “A Hiouxx Mashood."—The New York Hun
remark* that before the war every Southern fair
bad a "tournament’ appendage, a “ ridiculous
mummery" which haa been omitted since that
lime, and this proves that the war has devel
oped “ a higher standard of manliness' among
the Bootbern people. The Son Is in error as to
the facta upon which be founds his inference,
and then as to the inference itself. Ia what
passage alarms between the men of the two
sections did the South ever display an inferior
manhocd? In wbat light npon anything like
equal term* was the Sooth whipped? And
lastly, about those tournaments—they are sim
ply contests of grace, steadiness and *kill in
horsemanship, supplemented by very inoffen
sive and graceful social festivities. What is
there about them more “ ridiculous" ** trivial,'
•* al»urd,” or “ bombastic" than a game of ball,
wrestling, or running or walking or rowing or
yachting or racing or trotting? There is as
mnch “manhood” in the one as the other, and
the fact that tilting at a ring on horseback has
been generally followed with the choioe of a
queen of love and beauty a* a guerdon to the
victor, and a dance, is only a pretty and grace
ful conclusion of the sport which might be well
applied to other contest* between American
youth* in manly and athletic accomplishment*.
Tire I’aonrrr Bur. .Wan*.—Ben. Wade, of
Ohio, baa turned prophet and ia traveling about
the oountry disclosing the most secret coun
cils or divine Providence. Ben. ought to be
stopped. Be haa no business to be letting out
family secrets if he belongs to the family, and
bow can he belong to the family until he quits
some of bis bad habits? Ben. says the West is
in favor of a high tariff and Grant will be re
elected, and great prosperity will result. We
can't truatBen. in the prophecy line. If he has
any familiar spirits they are no better than Cin
cinnati crpptr distilled; snd as to his natural
perceptions, they have been unsettled ever
sines he took that famous bull ride in Han Do
mingo, and was thrown headlong into a muddy
bayou. After that sad accidont, be fell into
bad company—took to playing kenoand poker,
and is said to have come home with his pock
ets stuffed with Han Domingo shares and leases,
from which be expecta to realise heavy divi
dends. A man confident of hia own pile is
generally aanguine about the national prosper
ity. Be sees everything rose-colored, and can
even believe that the road to wealth is by
making the people pay high tasea to privileged
classes, br means of a protective tariff. Oar
faith in Bn. Wade as a politician and a prophet
is gone. _
Hcatnaxa's Mowrw.v roa Dacawaa* —The
leading illustrated article of this number is
“Sights in and Around Yeddo,” by Bayard Tay
lor. Another is “Pictures from the Plains."
A third illustrated article is upon the “Boston
Public Librarya fourth is “Mrs. Marigold's
Thanksgiving," and a fifth “Cyprus—Afloat and
Ashore." The serial papersare “TheTwo Mrs.
Bcuddsmorer," “The Right not to Vote" and
“Wilfred Cumbermede.” These are but part
of the contents, which are unusually varied and
interesting. Scribner is taking a leading posi
tion among the monthlies. For sale at the
book stores or by 8cribner A Co., New York,

A Naw Dr or Lures —A Vermonter has re
cently tanned several sides of leather with lye
leached from forest leaves. Be has been ex
parimenting with leaves for two months, with
satisfactory results. One ton of leaves, it is
asserted will tsn as much leather as five cords
of bark, and will complete the process in half
the time. When leaves and bark are mixed in
equal proportions one-fourth of the time is
aaved. The leather tanned by this process, it is
claimed, is more flexible and smoother than that
tanned by bark, while the strength of the
raw hide is retained to a greater degree. All
whtoh statement should lie received cautiously.
OauT Storms ox thk Coast.—Wednesday
was signalized by a violent storm on the At
lantic ooaat from Charleston north, which oc
casioned a good deal of destruction. Daring
the gsle another of the Russian war ships com
posing the Grand Duke's fleet, made the offing
off Handy Book and oime to anchor- It was
found, however, that the Grand Duke Alexis
was not on board of be.-, and that she parted
with the ship bearing tbe Grand Duke ten days
ago. It is no longer doubtful that the Russian
fleet has ouoouotered very rough weather, and
there is more or lass uneasiness about the safety
of tho remaining ship bearing Bis Imperial
Highness.
Baxcaxr. ox Politics—Rev. Ilenry Ward
Beecher preached a political sermon Sunday
evening, in the course of which he spoke of tbe
intelligent citizens and their indifference to po
litical matters. He characterizes the corrupting
tendencies of the civil servioe as an organized
standing threat against the liberties of the na
tion. Every onstom-houae in the land, said he,
ia a bribing shop. If,places of trust shall con
tinue to be put np for sale as they have been,
this government can not exist long.
J. B. Aronson £ Sox, Hollingsworth's block,
by way of showing that they are still in tbe
Held with abnndencs of the fat produce of East
Tennessee, send us a fine turkey, which we can
eat to their health, as well ss onr own. They
particularly request all people who wish to bny
fine dressed poultry of all kinds, and the best
of beef, pork, and mutton, together with salted
and cured meals and fish, of all descriptions,
to call and see them.
THE GEORGIA PRESS.
Tiuxx You.—We have received, with the
oompliments of R. W. Patterson, of this city,
now a atndent at the University of Georgia, an
invitation to attend a pnblie debate between
certain members of tbe Demosthenian society
this evening, npon the question: “Should
capital punishment he abolished?" We thank
our young friend for his kindness, snd hope
hi* aide—the negative—will gain the victory.
We are very deeidedly on that line.
A Valcablx Book.—State Senator Simmons
■ends n* a copy of Professor Villa's Lectures on
Chemical Manures, delivered at the great Ex
perimental Farm of the French Government, at
Vinoennea, and carefully rendered into Eogliah
by Miss E. L. Howard, the accomplished daugh
ter of our friend Rev. C. W. Howard, of that
axotllent journal, the Atlanta Plantation. Wo
have spoken of the book before. It ean be found

Arucsx M. E. Cnuxoa.—A letter from
Bishop Vanderhorst, at Charleston, S. C.,
reports that he has received one church into
his charge, of one hundred and forty members,
at Barnwell, and in the nnmber are three
preachers from the A. M. E. Church. Also,
another church has been admitted to his charge
at White Bluff, oontsiniog one hundred snd

1°*-—There was ioe yesterday morning in
Macon, and although cotton has really made
nothing in ihe last three weeks, yet ice will put
an end to all expectations. The cotton season
of 1S71 Las now dosed, and the yield will be
found to be surprisingly short Will Macon
gat one-half ef her receipts last year? We
have our doubts.

T * ' P - CuLreanocre —A friend from
Crawford informs ns that oar old and valned
friend, the Hon. G. P. Cntrerhonse. was stricken
with paralysis some three weeks ago, aid haa
been prostrate and helpless ever sime, with
very little chance of recovery. We are Irmly
sorry to hear it.
A ScEirrcRAL Shot.—Brother Greeley does
not seem Tery favorably inclined to the Great
Absquatnlator as witness Ibis from Ihe Trilim
of Monday's date:
“The wicked flee v ben no man puomelb, lint
tho righteous arc as hold as a lioo, t'ajs the
sacred proverb. Don't you believe that the in
spired penman had Bullock, of Georgia, in his
eye when he made that observation '! And he
didn't class Id in under the head of “the righ.
teoua,” either.
The Columbus Eaquirer and Savannah Re
publican favor the nomination of a candidate
for Governor to flit Bullock's unexpired term,
by the Democratic members of the Legislature,
on tho gronnd that there will not be time for
a convention.
The Augusta Constitutionalist argues against
the expediency of a special election for Gover
nor.
First, because it is unnecessary for any prac
tical purpose of legislation, the dominant ma
jority of the Democratic party being large
enough to give it complete control in the enact
ment of useful measures, and to thwart all
mischievous designs of tbe present Executive,
if he entertain* any.
Second, beesnse it is reasonable to suppose
that Governor Conley in his hampered condi
tion will not attempt factionsly to thwart the
jnat wishes of the people, as expressed through
their representatives, knowing that it wonld be
vain, and would operate only to his own disap
pointment snd injury.
Third, Ix«an*« Governor Conley has no mo
tive to set in a factions and partisan spirit in
the discharge of his duties, but every motive
to set in a spirit of conciliation sod good citi
zenship towards his political opponents, snd as
the Executive of the whole people, as expressed
in his insognral message.
Fourth, beesnse in the present condition of
affairs, North snd South, it is tho policy of tbe
dominant party of Georgia to accept the olive
branch when tendered, and meet the voice of
conciliation in the spirit of fairness and good
temper, and to avoid in every honorable way
the multiplication of causes for strife sod con
flict. , , ,
Fifth, liecanse there are strong legal minds
that believe that the Legislature has not the
constitutional right to order a special election
in this case, and it is natural to suppose that
Governor Conley concurs with them, and wonld
veto the bill which seeks in that way to evict
him from office. To fail to carry th# biU through
the Senate, as it has been carried through the
House, by s two-thirds vote over the Executive
veto, would be a mortifiestion and a defeat to
the Democratic party, and in tho same propor
tion delight and strengthen its opponents. To
carry it over tho veto might possibly bring upon
Georgia a greater disaster.
All of which reasons fail, in the least degree^
to shake onr fixed conviction that there should
be an election. Let ns do the thing that we
have the clear right to do, as freemen, and leave
the consequenoes to take care of themselves.
The Havannah News says that “Joe Brown
remarked, confidentially, to a friend, a few
days ago, that Mr. Hill is a monstrous smart
man, bnt he has got no judgment.”
Tbe stomach machinery of tho snbnrn haired
troubadour of the Savannah News must be out
of gear. What does he mean by souring on
his hash in this kind of atyle ? He bad better
try Simmona' Liver Regulator. He says
“Moderation" is a mnch abused word in these
days. The motto of Georgia seems to be re
versed. Instead of wisdom, justice and mode-
ration, it is moderation, moderation and mode-
ration. Wisdom and justice are not on the
bills.
Harris says Robinson's African lion was not
dead last Baturday—at least he judged so from
tbe manner in which be crawled on the ontside
of a quarter of beef that day.
The Hinesville Gazette is pleased to learn that
the company of Germans operating at Ferry's
Mills,Taitnall oounty, are poshing forward their
enterprise. They will soon have a railroad in suc
cessful operation from the mill to the river, a
distance of five miles. This is a genuine rail-
rosd, with iron rails and steam engines. They
also contemplate running several steamboats on
tbe Altamaha in connection with their mills.
These mills are superior to any in the whole
Southern country, both in mze'and finish.
Tbe Sandersville Georgian reports fine pro
vision crops in Emsnnel county, bnt a very
short cotton crop.
A doer ran into the Savannah River, from
Hutchinson's Island, opposite that city, on
Tuesday last, and was captured by two men
wbo succeeded in getting him to land. -
Another explosion of non-explosive kerosene
oil, at Havannah, Tuesday morning, resulted in
serionsly burning a little child, and making a

We clip these items from tho Savannah Ad
vertiser, of Wednesday:
A Dnmouur Ofkkatiox Fkbfokmed—Mr.
William Wallace, an experienced horse sfcoer
and farrier, yesterday performed a most diffi
cult operation, and one but seldom attempted.
A dark bay horse, the property of Messrs. Dixon
A Johnson, has bad tho knee cap of one of hia
legs affected with a splint for some time, which
necessitated either its removal or the perma
nent disabling of the animal. The operation
wss undertaken, and with no littlo difficulty the
splint wss abstracted, and the horse is now do
ing well nnder the care of Mr. Wallace.
A Hxaoxo Act.—Daring the prevalence of the
severe rain storm on Monday night, the carpen
ter of the ship Ironsides fell overboard between
bis vessel and the British bark Tiger, lying
along aide, where he was in imminent danger
of being crashed to death between the two ves'
aels. The second mate of tho Tiger. Mr. Healey,
jumped overboard and lashed himself to the
carpenter, when they both were hauled np
safely.
The Chronicle aud Sentinel, of Wednesday,
paras that the Booth Csroliua Railroad has se
cured a controlling interest in tbe Greenville
and Columbia Railroad, and that very impor
taut changes, with reference to this connection,
may be expeoted at no distant day.
The Chronicle, same date, says:
Thk Pkxxstlysxi* Central.—We are given
to understand that tbe Wilmington and Man
chester Railroad will be completed to Colombia
by the 14th proximo, and npon this completion
a more rapid schedule will be inaugurated, aud
that passengers going northward from Angnsta
will be given choice of either route, by Wil
mington or by Charlotte. This new combina
tion will bring tbe noted influence of the far-
famed Pennsylvania Central to our doors.
Messrs. Walsh, Doris and Yonng have been

Mr. D. E. Moody, an employee at Ennis’
Variety Works, Columbus, died suddenly, Sat
urday night. He was a member of the 4!Ub
Georgia regiment, during the late civil war.
Tbe Columbus Sun tells this good 'an:
Tnx Best Satixo Yet.—It is told that Joe
Camming, Esq., the able representative in the
Georgia Legislature, from Richmond county,
that in the consultation regarding a Senator to
Congress, he said that it was really of no great
importance. Electing a United States Senator
was equivalent to appointing a Minister to a
foreign country with which we are on unfriend
ly relations.
Mr. John Parker's gin-house snd six bales of
cotton, in Talbot county, were burned lost Fri

The Atlanta San of yesterday says:
Salk or the ‘*Tbce Geoeoias.”—The office
of this journal—including type, presses, forni-
ture, books, good will, etc , was sold yesterday
at publio outcry—the Hon. Joseph E. Brown,
being the purchaser at $3,600. There was but
one article reserved, and that was the picture of
the late Editor, and Ex-Governor of the Terri
tory of Idaho, which, by special permission of
creditors, was donated to Gen. Alfred Austell,
as a souvenir from bis friend Bard. Governor
Brown bought tbe office to secure advances,
and we do not know that be will inn tbe paper.
We clip the following from the Athens
Watchman, of Wednesday:
Death op Piter. Smead.—Our communily was
startled by the announcement of tbe sudden
death of Professor Smead, of the University
of Georgia, which occurred on Saturday night
last. We learn that he was in usual health un
til late in the afternoon, when he was attacked
with bilious colic, followed by congestion cf
the bowels, which terminated fatally.
A Bloodt Affray.—Wo leant that a sanguin
ary affray occurred near town on Saturday night
last, between Mr. Hamilton Hoggins and a
yonng man named Cobb McDonald, in which
the lattercnt Hnggins, whereupon Huggins shat
him twice with a pistol—I he first ball passing
through his chin and the second through one of
hia longs. We have not learned whether the
ent received by Hnggins is regarded as danger
°n*. McDonald ia still alive—his recovery is
doubtful. We forbear commenting on this un
fortunate affair, as we are not in possession of
the facta—and only give the foregoing as cur.
rent rumor has reported it.
Speed ol Carrier Pigeons.
The Newark Advertiser g-Tes the following:
Tbe wonderful flight of tbo carrier pigeon
Tempest to Montclair, N. J , was noticed some
time since. We have now to reoord tbe still
more extraordinary time cf two other birds sent
borne. The following notes were found on them
on their arrival:
Deas Fathzs—Sept. 15, 1871—Lit. 27 dag.
10 N., long., 79 deg. 30 W., 1,004 statute miles
from Montclair, N. J.—I will let the male bird
Tornado go with this note at exactly nine o’clock
A. E-, New York time. I let the bird Tempest
go on the 10th. She rose up about 500 yards
high, and then made one tremendous plunge to
the North, and was out of sight about as quick
as a flash of lightning. Hasbt C. Blxeceeb.
Dm Father—Sept 31. 1871—Lot. 3G deg.
N., long. 93 deg. 5 W., 1,506 statute miles from
Montclair, N. J.—I will let the old bird Typhoon

haa a fearful job on band. He must go through
it or perish. All well. Habet 0. Bleeceeb.
The bird Tornado arrived at Montclair tbe
same day at two o'clock and seven minutes r.
x., making oxer 196 miles tn hour, Typhoon
arrived the same day at three o’clock snd fifty-
four minutes r. X., and fall dead on hie arrival,
but he brought the note in the unprecedented
time of 303 miles an hour.
FATAL ACCIDENT.
A Young Lndy Killed and a Yonng Kail
Dangerously Injured by a Runaway
llorse on the Thunderbolt Road.
We are called upon to chronicle this morn
ing one of those fatal accidents which are both
terrible and heart-rendering in their nature.
Yesterday afternoon, about five o'clock, while
Mr. William H. Colo and Mis-i Mary Conway
were returning from the fnnexsl of Sirs. Pren-
dergast, the horse attached to the buggy in
phich they were riding became unmanageable
and threw them out, at the same time turning
the vehicle over and npon both the yonng man
and the young lady.
Two gentlemen, who were coming to the city,
and who were just turning the bend in the
Thnnderbolt road, near the Cathedral cemetery,
witnessed tbe accident, and at once hastened to
the relief of too unfortunate sufferers. Miss
Conway wss lying under one of the wheels of
the buggy which had fallen npon her, while
Mr. Cole was Iyiog in the road, ppeeohless and
unable to move.
They were taken to the side of toe road and
cared for. In toe meantime, their friends, who
were some distance ahead and nearer the
city, had observed the horse ran past them
without the buggy, and, inferring that some un
toward circumstance had occurred, they re
turned to the scene of the terrible accident.
Miss Conway and Mr. Cole were then placed
in carriages and brought to the city, where they
reoeived every attention that science could sug
gest. In tbe young lady’s esse it proved to be
of no avail, for, after remaining unconscious
until half-past six o’clock, she quietly breathed
her lash She was attended by Dr. Kollock.
The young man is dangerously if not mor
tally injured. He is attended by Dr. Bulloch.
Miss Mary Conway was the daughter of Mr.
M. Conway, one of the clerks at the Pnlaski
House, and the sister of Mr. Richard Conway,
who is a clerk at the Atlantio and Gulf Railroid
depot. She was a most amiable and estimable
yonng lady, and her sudden and untimely death
is deplored by a very large circle of friends and
acquaintances.—Sat. Ntvs*.
Military Rule Df South Carolina—Worse
and Worse.—As was presumed, military rule
in South Carolina has culminated in the inevi
table outrages of an irresponsible and drunken
soldiery. The following statement is made by
the Chester Reporter:
Several days ago a series of outrages were
perpetrated upon some of the most respectable
citizens of Union by the troops stationed at that
point. A number of the business men were
plaesd in durance on toe charge of being mem
bers of the Ku-klox. After locking them up,
and threatening them with death on the mor
row, llieir captors then proceeded to the homes
of their prisoners, and, under the plea of search
ing for the identical men that were already in
carcerated, they entered the most private apart
ments of tbe ladies, making sad havoc among
fine dresses and toilet articles. Of course theft
wss committed, and insults and indecent lan
guage prevailed. After volunteering to the
ledies toe information that “in tbo morning
their relatives wonld suffer death,” they de
parted. One of tbe ladies lost a fine gold
watch and chain. This has not yet been recov
ered.
On the morning following the night of their
arrest, the commandant of the post dismissed
the prisoners, sb there were no charges brought
against them then. While these arrests were
being made, tho troops (a United States mar
shal was in the compaDj) made threats fre
quently that if resistance were made they would
lay tbe town in ashes. Now comes the strange
part of the transaction. After the release of
the prisoners, the authorities stated that it was
“only a drunken spree.” A notice was sent to
the publisher of tbo UniODville Times t« the ef
fect that if he dared publish anything in re
gard to the affair they would fire the town and
swing him to a post. We understand that tho
town council have now taken the affairs in hand.
An investigation has bean gone into, and the
evidence duly sworn to, printed in pamphlet
form. We also learn that copies of this pamph
let have been forwarded to Attorney General
Akerman and District Attorney D. T. Corbin.
New York Cotton Market.—Tho New Or
leans Picayune of Monday has the following
New York dispatch:
Tho feeling is that we shall go off lo proba
bly 17$ cents, but I do not find many who look
for a lower figure. Crop estimates at the South
are reported to be increasing—that is, over the
low figure of 3,000,000 bales that has been very
generally entertained.
Tbe action of tbe planters in storing their
cotton in the interior towns is looked upon as
bad policy here, for should anything occur to
cause a disposition to sell, there would be a
sharp decline from the great and sudden pres
sure of ootton into the ports—the pressure be
ing accelerated by the nearness of the cotton to
the same.
It is matter of surprise that planters can af
ford to store their cotton at all: but tbe fact
that they are doing so indicates that they are
stronger financially than has been generally
supposed.
No doubt buyers hate to see planters store
away cotton. Let planters send their best
apologies and hold on to their cotton, if they
can do so consistently with their pecuniary ob
ligations.
Naw Orleans Cotton Receipts.—Tho Times
of Satnrdsy says:
The receipts of the week wore light, the
amount proper since Saturday evening being
3,705 bales, against 3,949 on last Sunday and
Monday, and 13,472 last year. This makes an
aggregate sinoe Friday evening of 6,184 bales,
against 5,985 for the corresponding time last
week, and 16,879last year; and since Angust
31, of 139,415 bales, against 199.643, last year,
increasing toe falling off to 61,228 bates. The
amount on shipboard not cleared, going on
board and not engaged for shipment was set
down this morning at 61,000, which, deducted
from the stock then on hand by onr running
statement, leaves abont 21,500 bales to repre
sent the stock in presses and on the landing,
unsold and awaiting orderss.
General Amnesty. —The usually well in
formed Washington correspondent of the Balti
more Sun, in his letter of last Tuesday, writes
as follows on this subject:
The proposition of all the democratic and
some of the republican members of the Ku-klux
committee to recommend Congress to provide
general amnesty is not certain to be adopted by
the full committee. So far as the President's
views are known, he is said to be opposed to
general amnesty now, and will not recommend
it in the annual message.
At a wedding reception the other evening, a
yonng lady unfortunately fainted. Grand con.
fusion, of course, and immediate rash of her
anxious admirers to remove the debris. In theii
eonfasion they attempted to convey the young
lady up stairs feet foremost, whereat, her sense
of propriety being strong, she immediately
“came to.”—A*. T. Evening Mad.
A New York letter asserts that Anna Dickin
son yearns to be a man, that she may clothe
tost awful chin of hers with a beard. The best
thing Anna can do, if her ambition is hopeless
ly set in the direction indicated, is to marry
some poor devil of a male, and then she may
have her chin oovered with a beard.—Courier-
Journal.
Forceil lo Sipeak Oat—The Union of
All 4'onNervntIves.
ITke very excess and pressure of toe evils of
Radical rule—a role of tyranny and despotism,
of plnndtr and robbery—is absolutely forcing
the no party men and journals to speak out. It
is felt that there must be a union of all conser
vative men, of all parties, Republicans, Demo
crats, old-line Whigs and all others opposed to
this ruinous role, or the liberties of the country
are lost, and ihe repubiio will be a thing of the
past. The Beltimere Son is compelled to speak
out as follows :
We believe that the elements of a great con
servative triumph exist in the country at large.
They may not be fouud necessarily under pres
ent forms. B.1I they do exist. They are all
around at hand, needing only union and organ
ization to insure iheir success. It Bhould be re
membered tost to this great and undevtlopde
conservative sentiment in the hearts of the
American people, whioh is deeply attached to
the principles aud forms of the Constitution,
and impatient of toe excesses and extravagance
of faction, every manifestation and develop
ment of tbs strength of that sentiment in par
ticular communities, is an encouragement and
an inducement to persevere and hold fast, until
the barriers which impede and prevent concert
of action are broken down or shall have disap
peared, and the great conservative and consti
tutional party of the country shall have
achieved perfect organization, and with it cer
tain success. This is a thought which citizens
who have too much manliness and too much pa
triotism to despair of the Repubiio because of
the darkness of the present boor, and who are
awake and alive to the real necessities of the
political situation, wilt carry with them to the
polls to-morrow. It will help to make the path
to daty plain before them—and will teach them
at ail events that part of that duty i8 not to
neglect the intelligence and careful exercise of
the right of suffrage.
Death of B. N. Stubbs, Esq —We regret to
announce toe death cf Richard N. Stubbs, Esq.,
which occurred yesterday morning from con-
jestive chills, after a few days illness. Mr.
Stubbs was one of the most promising young
men of Savannah, and his sudden death has cast
a gloom over a large circle of friends. His re
mains were sent to Milledgeville by last eve
ning’s train, and were escorted to the depot by
the members of Solomon’s Lodge No. 1, F. A.
M., of which he was an esteemed member, and
a number of brethren of other lodges in the
city, besides a targe number of sorrowing
friends. ,
We copy toe above from too Savannah News,
ofthelGth. The deceased was for a long while
connected with the firm of A. M. Sloan 4 Co.,
and was a brother of Mrs. R. W. Jemison, of
this city. He was well known in this section,
and in Baldwin county, and was loved and hon
ored by all who knew him.
The Capitol.—The proceedings at the Stale
House ye3terdiy were almost as dull as a lead
ing editorial in the Courier-Journal. Nothing
occurred to strike fire in either branch; but
everything was as placid as a pool frozen over.
The House concurred in tho Senate amend
ments to the election bill, and nothing remains
to oonstitute it a law except the approval of the
acting Executive. No time will be lost in get
ting toe bill before him, and tbe impression is
that he will hardly decline to approve it.
The Senate resolution postponing the collec
tion of taxes sixty days was elaborately dis
cussed in the House. Most of the speakers
favored a reasonable postponement; but ob
jected to any delay which would extend into
next year. Most of the morning was consumed
in considering the resolution, and the House

The Troy Times lately spoke of a Republican
orator in that place who was to speak at a po
litical meeting, and called him an “old war

sen three years old, to whom tbe announcement
was runt nt a neighbor’s. Going home, the
little felljw paid: “Grandpa, grandpa, dere is
tometing in the paper ’bout you.” “ What is
it?” asked grandpa. “ Near as I can member,
it said yon was an old dead horse.”

The Great Stow*.—The Charleston News

height, and roared and raged as if this were
their list chance of the season. The gale was
from tbe sontheaxt, and from midnight on Mon

to twenty-five miles per hoar. The rainfall was
not large, principally on account cf the strength

Prof. SILLIMAN, State Chemist of Conn., eavg:
I have carefully examined the sample of “ Cen
tury White Wheat Whisky” In color, tasto and
odor this liquor is without fault. It is entirely fiee
from any deleterious subs lance whatever; the ab
sence of all trace of lead, and of other powonwis
or hurtful things in it is absolute. By distillation.
I find its alcoholic strength to be exactly that of
proof spirits by the prewent United States Law,
vtz: 50 parts by volume (measure) of absolute al
cohol, 83.71 parts of water; by weight thin corre
sponds to alcohol 42>£ per cent., and water 57-j
percent. The ash is chiefly alkaline carbonate,
and ia far leas in quantity than is found iu the av
erage of good drinking water. No alcoholic liquor
can be purer than the sample of your “Centun."
[Signed] B. SILLiMAN, State Chemist
Prof. C. U. SHEPARD, Jr M State Chemist of South
Carolina, says.
I have carefully investigated the sample of “Cen
tury” Whisky sent by you for inspection, and pio-
nounce it to be free from adulteration, and as such
I can recommend its use to the pnbl.o. I have ex
amined it for copper, lead, the alkaloids, and other
poisonous substances, but am happy to e ay I have
found none of them- The inspected Whisky con
tains 51 per cent, by volume, or 43 50 per cent, by
weight, of alcohol; 0.06 per cent of aeh. To the
taste it is mid, mellow and high flavored.

Prof. JOHN DARBY, Editor of the American Gro
cer, New York, says:
We have recaived a sample of the “Century
Whisky” for amilyeia. We have conducted the
analysis with great care; there is no trace of meta!
in it, and nothing that should not come from tbo
fermentation and distillation of the fineet grains.
The bouquet is natural, depending upon a minnto
quantity of volatile oil or ether. We have analyzed
many Whiskies, and have never before mtt with one
as strong us this; they are generally several de
grees below the government standard, this ia
slightly above. We are not a connoiseur iu liqnore.
but if purity and strength are desirable qualities
the “Century Whiskies” must stand pre-eminent-
Dr. J. M. CABNOCHAN, Health Officer of tbe Port
of New York, says:
I have tried the “Century” Whiskies and find
them to be of very superior quality. 1 am happy to
recommend them, as I believe them to be entirely
free from deleterious or hurtful properties. The
analysis of Frof. Siiliman is sufficient proof of theii
great purity, and I believe that they will become
very popular Whiskies wherever they are once
used.

Health OfficerPort of New York, etc.
Prof. TILDEN, of Washington, D. C., says:
I have analyzed the specimens of the “Century”
Whisky sent to me with request to that effect. I
find no Fusel Oil and no trace of anvdeleteriocH
mineral or metallic substance. The liquor presents
no feature which does not belong to the beat
Whiskies, while it offers some unusual points of
excellence. Its color is dark, owing to the presence
of Caramel, which undoubtedly improves its tote;
the taste is smooth and the bead good. The re
markable strength of this Whisky, coupled with the
unmistakable marks of age which are to be per
ceived, its freedom from harmful principles too of
ten found in such liquors, and its natural bouquet,
justify mein pronouncing it both for medicinal and
domestic purposes a superior article.

Medical Dep’t, Georgetown College.
