A Nsw Ycax High Fuxb Cacoht Cbeatxxo

Rtsoe, tbs topio of scandal in society and Wall

him until his earnings for the evening footed

Bcs-xa Shxtt Inox.—It ia well known that
tha process of manufacturing that lustrous, eu-

whioh monopolizes the buainoss. The "Oil
City Derrick," however, announces that a citi-
tsuof that plaoe baa returned from Bnaaia pos-
■coMd of the whole mystery, and having erected
a small manufactory in Pottabnrg, produced the
Bomia sheet iron on the first trial eo perfectly
that cobody could distinguish it from any of

This rain seems to have swept from Northern
Kentucky, in a northwesterly course up the
great valley of the Missouri, and the Missouri
river if imported higher than it w*a ever known
before in tha memory of mac. This event will
probably be followed by gieat destruction la
the Missouri and Mississippi bottoms down to
(he Gulf.
Tha fact is, the pecple are entitled to violent
ealber and should not look for much of any
other kind. The people are violent, andadona.
destructive. They are badly demoralized all
over the country. Bed handed murder and
violence stalk abroad unfettered, and though we
don't know it, vet doubtless when mankind get
wiser they will diaoover that a chain of close
and intimate sympathy runs through all the
great departments of God's creation, and even
the destructive forces of nature, violent storms
and tempests, are more or leas self - imposed by
man, in giving loose to a riotous moral violence,
without regard to reason, oonaeienoe and tbe
wa of God.
Peopto are Mttlicg on the fhjcictol law of
storms, and by and by they will get behind that
to the more recondite, but not leas certain sym
pathies and correspondences between all tbe
great departments of Nature which embrace
tbe whole realm of law, and learn that they
can't be violent, lawless and outrageous with
out setting on foot an apparently similar out
break all round. Therefore, our best advice ia
bahave well.
Competitive Exnmlnatlon for West
Point*
After a long, patient, careful and very close
ly contested examination, Mr. Charles W. Kil-
pateicx, of Bibb county, was awarded the
cadeUbip from the Sixth Congressional District
of‘Georgia. The Buard of Elimination for
this ocoaaion coaid scaroely be improved. It

of the Georgia Academy for the Blind, aid Dr.
William F. Holt, one of oar leading Macon
physicians—all learned and conscientious men,
who have devoted extraordinary time and pains
taking to the discharge of the duty. Of the
contestants, probably all would have parsed
examination at West Point, bnt it was the bus!-
ness cf tbe oommittee to select the young gen
tleman possessing the highest qualification*,
and we have no doubt they have done so, and
have designated a cadet who will do honor to
Georgia and the District. We append the cor*

or affection," to discharge tha duty committed
to our Lru*t.
Eight applicants presented themselves for ex

amination in both requirements, were cf the
most searching and rigid character—the com
mittee feeling with yourself the importance of
having at West Point, a representative who
would sustain the credit of tbe appointment.
Tbe^e examinations—the literary being con
ducted in writieg—together with the cane**:
of tbe retails, occupied the ormmittee the ber
ter part of six days It ia due to tbe candidate*

selves handsomely, and that the float con tear

competitors.

Through a special Herald dispatch from Lon
don (-ays that paper of tbe 5tb) wo learn that a
private meeting has been cunvenod at Stafford
House for the purpose of promoting railway
enterprises ia China—that it is in contempla
tion to famish a free gift rolling stock sufficient
to equip ten miles of railway as an inducement,
by a practical experiment, to the Chinese Em
peror to sanction the construction of a network
of railroads through his dominions, and that
abundance of capital can be commanded for the
work. Tbe committee on the subjeot are to call
a public meeting under the auspices of the Lord
Mayor of London.
Tbe importance of this scheme will bo readily
appreciated if considered in connection with the
British railway project for connecting the Medi-
terranean with the Persian Gulf by way of the
Euphrates Hirer and with Baron Reuter's Per
sian railway contracts, and with the British rail-
ws/ kvs:. ill cf ilinio-tan. Taking all these
grand schemes and systems together.they simply
look, first, to tbe control and absorption of the
trade of tbe whole of Asia south of the Russian
Empire, and to a strong political foothold from
Asiatic Turkey to India on the west, and from
the Pacific Ooean to India on the east, against
any grasping designs or supposed hostile de
signs of Russia. But, whether by England or
Russia, the building of extensive railway lines
in Asia, east or west, will be for the general
benefit of mankind, and so we wish success to
all such enterprises.
China has not a single railway, for the reason
as stated in Abba Hue's narrative that they
could not be built without desecrating graves.
China is, as a matter of course, considering Us
ape and teeming population, one great grave
yard, and the leading idea of the religion of the
Chinese is reTcrcBcejfor their dead ancestry.
How the Esghsh will indure the Chiue-te to
sanction the incxorsMe alignment cf a railway
over a soil in great part occupied by the dead
is a perplexing question.
Guanos Parents.—The farmers, in their move
ment against high freights, are entering more
into detail and taking practical and economi
cal measures in matters pertaining to the farm
ing interest The Indianapolis Journal learns
of granges in that State which have leagued to
gether and made arrangements to obtain plows
at twenty.five dollars, which heretofore cost
them thirty-three dollars. Of course, whole-
le quantities can be bought at wholesale
prices, and the farmers can serve themselves
very handsomely. Ia Virginia the price of Mc
Cormick's reaper and mower, which has here*
toforo been two hundred dollars, has been put
down to coe hundred and fifty dollars, and his
other machines in like proportion. This re
duction has doubtless been brought about by
the fame kfiaesoes.
Tzrx melon trade at Savann&b continues vary

A Railbdad Ixcidzxt.— A gentleman relates
the following incident which occurred in tbe win

»h*t "accommodating" gentlemen conductors

was going on the morning regular through train
from Maoon to Savannah, Ga., when suddenly
the engineer whistled down brakes, and the cars

Tnx business men of Atlanta held a meeting

We learn that the Commercial Warehouse Com
pany of New York, who held most of the bends
of tho above railroad company indorsed by Gov
ernor Bollock for the State, have purchased
nearly all tbo stock of tbe road, having bought
out the entire interest of Hon. Mark. A. Cooper
and others. They have also advanced funds
enungh to pay off the debts of the road, and
will proceed without delay to convert that por
tion of it which is constructed a narrow gunge,
to a broad guage rosd its entire length from
Cartersville to Van Wert. The whole manage
ment has passed into practical bands, who will
pat the enterprise upon a good basis. And we
learn wiih pleasure that the great slate quarries
in tha vicinity of Van Wort are being extensive
ly opened and profitably worked.
Tna same paper says It has put np a forfeit
of $1,000 with Mr. James, the banker, to be

any other paper published in that section,” and
"dares any one to give ns the opportunity to
prove," by tbe books, that its "circulation Is
vastly greater than any other." Now let the
momentous question be settled forever. This

and should be relieved at once.

of Woodhnli, Olaflm *t Co. This is indeed an
insult to any refined lady, for they are just as
far from wishing tor any such privileges a* the

War
Debt and German
Profits.
The New York Financial and Commercial
Chronicle shows from official sources, that the
late Franco-German war added to tho routes or
funded debt of France an aggregate of 8,246,-
149,633 francs, or 1.C49 millions of dollars.
Of this sum nearly 1,000 millions of dollars were
paid in cash to Germany, whose published state
ments report the actual cost of the war to the
Germans' at §278,000,000, so that the clear
profit of Germany from tho war begun by Na-
po! eon’s invasion of Jnly, 1870, was over 800
millions of dollars, without reckoning the value
of tho annexed provinces of Alsace and Lor
raine, whoso taxation contributed to the rev
enue of France §80,000,000, a year, while their
railways alcnqare valued at §65 000,000. In
the ancient or medern records of war no op
posing forces in a campaign of three months
have ever won so much or lost so much as did
the armies of France and Garmany three years
ago. How the contest, with its astounding re
sults, is likely to affect the financial and indus
trial growth of Germany we do not now inquire.
In France, as we have said, it has almost
doubled the previously socumulsted funded
debt, tbe new addition being 1,049 millions of
dollara. Besides ibis there is a floating debt of
uncertain magnitude. Part of it Is doe fo tbe
Bank of France, and amounts to 1,300,000,000
franca. It is to be paid if possible out of the
instalments of the last loan of Jaly 15, 1572,
which fall due monthly and expire at the close
of this year.
From these facta it will be seen that the total
amount of the French debt cannot be ascertain
ed except approximately. The above table
shows that since 1814 the Government loans
have amounted to a capital of 17,629 millions
of francs, on which the rente or annual interest
is 737 million francs. Before 1314 the old
rentes were 63 363,745 francs a year, so that
the funded debt aggregates at present a capital
c f is,720,360.101 franos, or nearly 4,000 millions
of dollars, while its annual interest is 800,082,-
47S francs, or ICO millions of dollara a year, ex
clusive cf all extra charges for the floating debt.

I,o«« by the Recent Heavy storm*,
Cixcinnan, July 8.—The following accounts
of damages to crops and lmildiogs and e®ti
mated losses by tbe recent rains have boon re
ceived here: In Ohio through Foret to county
the wheat and corn bAve boon seriously dam
aged ; many trees were uprooted and one barn
demolished. Loss §3 000, outside of crt>ps
In Washington ounnty crops were considerably
beaten down nr d the extent of tho loan cannot
be made, reports not being suffiaientiy full. In
Be’mont county several acren of timber wore
destroyed for a mile around. InBelmontnoarly
all fences were blown down, admitting stock
into tho grain fields. Wheat and corn
were also flattened out. In Morrow
county, in the vicinity of Covington,
on Thursday and Friday, the storm
leveled fences and many valuable orchards
were ruined. In Franklin oonnty. tbe loss is
estimated at from $50,000 to $100,000 Tho
bottom lands were covered wiih water, destroy
ing crops Part of the canal in the town of
Winchester if under water, oompelliDg some of
tbe firm* to atop buainess. In the southern
portion of Licking oounty, crops of all kinds are
badly damaged. The Newark, Somersett and
Strasville road suffered severely—twenty.five
miles cf track were washed out, and several
bridges were destroyed. In Clinton connty
the grain in shock and tbnt standing in
the fields were alike prostrated, xnakiog it
necessary to raise a groat part of it by hand.
In the southern portion of Greene oonnty the
wheat crops suffered—the estimated loss being
from 15 to 20 per cent.—in other portions of
the connty the loss is considerably lightor. The
weather is still showery, and unless it dears np
soon, tho wheat crop, which is dead ripe, will
be greatly Injared. In Muskingum county.
Zincsville, Washington, Perry, Wayne and
Knox townships * offered. The los3 from dam
age to tbo growing crops is not less than $100,
000. besides a heavy loss of timber. In tbe
southern pari of Batler connty, rain did consid
erable damage to crops. A largo lot of timber
was also blown down. Clark connty damage
is not so great. Union county wheat crop is
badly damaged throughout, especially along tho
creeks, where whole fields are destroyed. Pick
away connty crops are destroyed and washed
away. Eitimated loss $100,000. To this may
be added broom corn, within tfcreo miles of Cir-
cleville, §25,000. In Athens county at Nelson-
ville, the Shocking river overflowed and inun
dated tho lower part of the town. A large
number were compelled to leave their houses
and contents and fly for life, so suJden and un
expected did tbe flood come. Crops fa bottom
lands are a total lo«s. Tbe damage to crops is es
timated at$100,000. Annmberof familiesliviog
along the river in the vioinity of Athena were
compelled to move to higher ground. The
Marietta and Cincinnati railroad track wo3 cov
ered with water too deep to allow the passage
of trains. The loss of pnblio and private prop
erty in Fairfield connty is estimated at over
$500,000. Many low farms were swept of every
thing bnt baildiags. Hooking canal oannot be
repaired, having fifteen large breaks within a
distance of twenty-five miles. Bremen canal
was six feet under water on tho morning of the
4th instant. Four bridges of the Cincinnati
and Muskingum, and Cincinnati and Hocking
Valley railroad were wrecked. In Union county
crops are damaged 10 to 15 per cent Ripley
county wheat suffered badly. Decatnr county
wheat will yield but one-fourth of a crop. In
Shelby connty two-thirds of the wheat crop will
be lost. The loss to crops in Dearborn county
will be far np In the thousands. The same re
port comes from Fayette county. Corn will
yield only tbree-fourtba of a crop.
Spanish Customs Bcgnlallons.
Washington, July 8.—A dispatch received at
the State Department from Hon. Daniel E.
Sickles, United States Minister to Spain, en
closes additional customs regulations promul
gated by the Spanish Government* for tbo pen
insula. Tbe decree is dated Jane 5th, and will
be enforced against all vessels coming from At
lantic ports of the United States after tha expi
ration of throe months after dato of publication,
and four months after that date for all vessels
coming from the Pacific ports.
Minister Sickles, in his dispatch, says it is
observed that this decree, although containing
provisions tending to embamra the legitimate
commerce of the ports of the Peninsula, recog
nizes and debates several principles contended
for in my correspondence with this Government
concerning relations in Caba. Only one mani
fest is required instead of three. If tho mani
fest agree with the bill cf lading the fine in
curred for any infraction of regulation in de
scribing a consignment is imposed on the con
signees of goods and not on vessels. Spanish
Consuls are prohibited from certifying to man
ifests whioh are not properly made out. They
are, besides, required to note all mistakes and
amendments, and to report to tbe customs au
thorities of the porta to which the vessel is
bound all manifests they certify.

KIDXIGHT DISPATCHES.
Hrle R«ltro*«l Xarnlon.
New Yoax Jaly 8 —The following Is a con
deneation of the report of the Erie Railroad
e:ircinr* : The company hive continued
steadily to increase for the past half year. They
have largely exceeded those of any simitar pe
riod since the completion of tbe road. Reforms
began in the management of the oompany'g
business have diminished the relative expenses
in every department, an i these expenses will
be still more largely diminished as reforms in
progress are developed, and when the present
plans for a doable track and narrow gauge on
the whole line shall have been carried into ef
fect, there is no reason why the coat of op
eratiog the road, in comparison with its gross
earnings, should not be as low as npon any of
the other great trank lines.
We are rapidly increasing onr facilities for
business. We have put in this Reason already
20 miles of siding and laid 10 miles of second
track, and have increased onr coal, postal and
other oars. We are preparing to redace the
heaviest grades npon the line, and when this is
done, taken in connection with the cheapness of
fuel and the facilities of which the Erie company
possesses, vary decided advantages over any of
its rivsls for business ; n this State, the com
pany will be able to overcome the d sadvantage
under which it bar Buffered in tbe past in
parison with other lines originally possessing
better oontrol of local traffic. Those advan
tages, cow beginning to be realized, will in
crease in the fntnre, and the day is cot far dis
tant when onr proximity to a connection with
tho anthracite and hitnminons coal mines of
Pennsylvania and Ohio will fir more than
counterbalance tbe advantages heretofore pos
sessed by other linen.
The funded debt of tbo road ha3 been in
creased daring the year by the addition of
$10,000,000 convertible bonds, of which $S,000,-[
000 have already been sold at par in currenoy.
Tbe remaining $2,000,000 will probably be
pl&oed at same rate as soon as they will be
needed for onr new construction and equipment
now In progress. Assuming all these bonds to
be negotiated, the fanded debt of the oompany
will then b) aa follows:
Reported July 1st, 1873 §30.040.140
Convertible bond* 10.000,000
Total.. «...§40.040,140
The capita! of tbe oompany is unchanged as
reported July, 1872, viz: Common t-tock $78,-
000.000; preferred stock §3,536,910. Total
§86,536 910.
The floating debt of the comnany as reported
Jaly 1st, 1872, was §646,366 820. The present
fl rating debt is nearly $1,700,000, or abont
equivalent to ono month’s currant receipts,
sbowing a redaction since last July, of $i
"50.000.

flfarlc Twain anti th© Shah of Persia—
How Ha leoka, and How Mark Felt
When Saluted by Him. •
Mark Twain, who is now in London, was
depntied on the part of the Herald to help bring
the Shah to England, and furnishes a long ao-
CDunt of how he performed that .daty? from
which we take the following:
He was a handsome, strong-featured man,
with a rather Earopean fairness of complexion;
had a mustache, wore spectaclee, seemed of a
good height and graceful balld and carriage,
and looked abont forty or a shade less. He was
very simply dressed—brimlass stove pipe and
close-bnttoned dark green military suit without
ornament. No, not wholly without ornament,
for he had a band two inohes wide worn over
his shoulder and down across his breast, soarf
fashion, whioh band was one solid glory of fine
diamoods.
A Persian official appeared in tbe Shah's rear
acd enveloped him in an ample quilt—or cloak,
if you please—which was lined with fur. The
ontside of it was of a whitish color and elabo
rately needle-worked in Persian patterns liko an
India shawL The Shah stepped ont and the
official procession formed abont him and
inarched him down the carpet and on board
the Vigilant to alow mnsic. Not a Flounder
raised a cheer. All the small fry swarmed ont
the tram now.
THE CORRESPONDENTS EXCITED.
The Shah walked back alongside h!s fine
cabin, looking at the assemblage of silent, sol
emn Flounders; the correspondent of the Lon
don Telegraph was hurrying along the pier
and took off his hat and bowed to thp "King of
Kings,” and the King of Kings gave a polite
military salute in retnrn. This was the com
mencement of the exoitement. The success of
the breathless Telegraph man made all tbe
other Lon jon correspondents mad, every man
of whom flourished his etovepipe recklessly and
cheered lustily, some of the more enthusiastic
varying tbe exercises by lowering their heads
and elevating their coat tails. Seeing all
this, and feeling that if I was to "impress the
Shah” at all, now was my tim9, I ventured
little cqueaky yell, quitedislinotfrom tbe other
Bhonta, but just as hearty. His Bhahahip heard
and saw and saluted me in a manner that was,
I considered, an acknowledgement of say su
perior importance. I d > not know that I ever
felt so o6tentatious and absurd before. All the
correspondents came aboard, and then the Per
sian baggage came also, and was carried aoroes
to tbe ship alongside of ours. When she oould
hold no more, we took somewhere about a hun
dred trunks and boxes on board our vessel.
Two boxes fell into the water, sod several sail*
ora jo coped in and saved one, but the other was
lost. However, it probably contained nothing
but a few hundred pounds of diamoods and
things.
