Telegraph & Messenger. 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, for $4 a year. • 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 at the book-store of I. W. Burke A Co. 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 forty-three members 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. Bkaxex Gatis : A true history of the bloa- •oms which grew in the garden at Cragenfels, eomptua by Christabel Goldsmith, ana prefaced _/ ihe author of Widow Goldsmith’s Daughter. Sew York: G. W. Carleton A Co. This is a beautiful Illustrated work for children, jnat re ceived by J. W. Bnrke A Co. A fine story for 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 sat of bed-room furniture look like it bad been on e < visit to Obieago. 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 re-nomtnated for Aldermen by the Democrats of the Fonrth Ward of Augusta, and Messrs. Alex. Philip, William Bryson snd James Gargan in the Third Ward. 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 day. Incendiary. Mr. Jas. Leonard, living near Talbotton, fell down bis gin-house steps Isst Monday, and broke his leg ( Tbe first real white frost of the season at Sandersville, occurred last Saturday morning. Cotton crop will soon be housed. Mr. Wm F. Wamble, of Washington county, had his leg broken last Friday, by being thrown from a buggy. Mrs. Elizabeth Wright, aged 90 years, died in Johnson county lost week. The Rome Commercial says Ur. Cohen, of that place “offers to bny all the wheat raised in Cherokee, Georgia, next season, for one dollar and fitly cents a bushel, delivered in June. He authorizes ns to make this statement” 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 go with this note at exactly eight o'clock a. * , New York time. He is a powerful bird, bnt he 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 finally refused to concur. The resolution was finally amended so as to delay the collection of taxes until the 24th of December, and passed.— Atlanta Sun. 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 borso.” The gentleman referred to has a grand- 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.” John Rcskin in his last “Address to the Workingmen of Great Britain,” says of his boy hood training: “ My mother forced me, by steady daily toil, to learn long chapters of the ■iuz Charleston paper, of Wednesday lament the death of Dr. Wm. C. Korlbeck, a distin guished physician of tost city, which occurred Monday Isst. Also, the desto of Mr. Jacob Bar. rett t a weuiihv Kod venerable citizen, Aged SO Hzbe ia something for the snobs who are always writing their names in public places : When I p^e a man’s name Scratch’d upon the gtas^, I know he owns a diamond, And hia father owns an ass. The Great Stow*.—The Charleston News says that the clondy and threatening weather of Monday developed itself into a very creditable storm by Tuesday morning, and for the first time the cautionary signal was displayed over the weather observer’s office. The signal, a red light, was hang ont abont half-past one in the morning, and soon afterward the storm broke oat in all its fury. The wind aid rain which hai gradually been increased in force daring the early part of the night, were now at their 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 day until seven o'clock yesterday morning tbe wind blew at an average velocity of from twenty to twenty-five miles per hoar. The rainfall was not large, principally on account cf the strength of the wind, and tbe hydrometer showed bat 1.G0 inches daring tbe storm. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS MECHANICS’ B. & L.

READ. 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. [Signed] C. U. SHEPARD, Ja., M. D. 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. [Signed] J. M. CARNOCHAN, M- D., 8urgeon-in-Chief to 8tate Emigrant Hospital, 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. [Signed] W. C. TILDEN, Prof Chemistry, Medical Dep’t, Georgetown College.
