Columbus Enquirer: To Friday night
Columbus had received 54,964 bales of
cotton—3,ol3 less than the same date in
1874. By the Southwestern Railroad the
receipts are 2,858 hales —-1,348 less than
last year; Mobile and Girard, 14,487 —
3,772 less; Western Railroad, 1,828
1,071 less; river, 11,069—2,715 more;
wagons, 25,280—909 more; North and
South Railroad, 2,442 —446 less. Thus
the total losses amount to 6,637, and the
gains 3,624 (2,715 of which were by
river), leaving the net loss 3,013. The
decrease by the M. andG. Railroad is due
to the increase of through cotton, 5,036
hales, which is double what it was last
year. The through cotton to Savannah
and New York also shows considerable
decrease. Thus, this season, by the
Western Railroad of Alabama there came
37,115 bales against 44,067 in 1874 —a loss
of 6,952; and by the Mobile A Girard road
5,036 agaiust 2,572, a gain of 2,464. This
makes the net loss iu through cotton
4,488. We think it to be the true policy
of the Central road to establish very low
freights to this point so as to draw cotton
here, where she will be certain of it. Low
rates make prices higher, and cotton
seeks them. High freights have the con
trary effect, and kills the goose that fur
nishes the golden egg.
Gov. Allen to Keep the Field and

Enquirer says:
“The Republican party iu this State is
driven to the most detestable lying to
bolster up its cause. It is hard pushed.
It is tn articu/o mortis. The Toledo
Blade invents the story, and the Asso
ciated Press sends it over the country,
that Gov. Allen will withdraw from the
Gubernatorial fight because he is growing
old, because he has given up the battle in
advance, and because he wants to save
himself for next year's Presidential race.
This absurd falsehood is designed to scat
ter demoralization among the voters who
are intending to support the People’s
ticket this fall and elect William Allen to
the Governorship. The editor of the
Blade should be appointed superintend
ent of an asylum for Hare. But tbis is
the method by which the Republican
party alone hope* to eleot Bayes.”

THE TROUBLES OF TURKEY.
London, August 23. —A special to the
Timex from Constantinople says the
Porte has accepted the proposition of the
friendly powers to counsel the submis
sion of the insurgents to Turkish author
ities, and represent to them the utter
hopelessness of foreign intervention.
Servor, Pacha, has been appointed special
commissioner to examine into the griev
ances of the disaffected people. It is
confidently expected that the insurrec
tion will thus soon terminate.
A Berlin special to the Timex says the
Austrian Ambassador at Constantinople
suggested to the Turkish Government
the expediency of allowing Herzegovina
a semi-independent administration. Had
this suggestion been accepted, the three
northern powers would have been pre
pared to assist its accomplishment. The
Porte, however, rejected the proposition.
The intervention of Austria is no longer
considered altogether improbable. The
Austrian Government seems to consider
that a change has become ind spensable,
and that it had best be effected at a time
when Austria may hope to exercise a
leading influence.
The Times, in a leading article, says:
“If any mode could be devised of giving
Herzegovina and Bosnia an independence
similar to that enjoyed by Servia, it would
be a great relief to the Porte and an ad
vantage to Europe.” The writer points
to the gradual and inevitable disruption
of the Ottoman Empire, and protests
against the supposition that the foreign
policy of England might be governed in
the interests of holders of Turkish bonds.
The article concludes : “Whenever the
moment arrives for a further step toward
the liberation of the outlying provinces
of Turkey, we need not hesitate to assist
the movement if that course should ap
pear desirable.”
A BOUGH CUSTOMER.
Omaha, August 21 —John Gordon, a
Black Hills’ miner, who was brought
here some weeks ago, by order of the
court, for a hearing on a writ of habeas
corpus, was released on parole this morn

the office of Gen. Ruggles, Adjutant
General of the Department of Platte,
surrendered his parole and then, by di
rection of his counsel attempted to es
cape. The General immediately or
dered his clerks and orderlies, who
are enlisted men, to arrest him,
but Gordon offered the most
emphatic resistance, and in this was as
sisted by his lawyer. He was arrested
and taken to Omaha barracks, where he
is confined in the guard bouse. Since
the above occurred Gordon has had Gen.
Ruggles arrested for false imprisonment,
also the General and his clerks for assault
and battery. The trial of the oases is set
down for Wednesday next.
MOB LAW IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Reading, Pa., August 21. —Yestetday,
the funeral of Mrs. Philip Bcssinger and
her three children, whose deaths by
drowning occurred here Tuesday, took
place. The utmost excitement prevailed,
and a very large concourse of people fol
lowed the bodies to the grave, the pro
cession comprising over thirty carriages
and not less than 1,000 people on foot. For
an hour before the time for the funeral,
the house was surrounded by excited
people, and the excitement was so great
that a detachment of police kept guard
on the premises.
The circumstances attending the death
of the mother and children were such as
to create the strongest interest, which
partakes largely of indignation. Bes
singer is the keeper of a soloon here, and
his family consisted of himself, wife and
three small children—a boy and two girls.
His mother also made her home with his
family. Of late it is said that there has
been considerable unhappiness caused,
the neighbors say, by the treatment of
Mrs. Bessinger by her husband and his
mother. The report commonly accepted
is that Bessinger had bestowed his affec
tions upon an unmarried woman from
Philadelphia, whom he frequently had at
his house, and who was boldly accorded
authority denied his wife. On Monday,
as it is stated, a quarrel took place be
tween the husband and wife on this
account, and he ordered her out of his
sight. He told her he would give her
two thousand dollars to go away and
return no more—she to take the gitls and
and he to beep the boy—and threatened
to kill her if she returned. This pros
pect of separation from one of her
children, added to the previous un
happiness of her position, manifestly
preyed upon her mind, and she was very
much depressed. On Tuesday-, accom
panied by her three children, she left the
house and entered a street car, in which
she rode out of the city for a distance of
about two miles and a half, to a point on
the bank of the canal. She had a basket
with her, and this she proceeded to fill
with stones, her children assisting her.
Having filled it, she bound it securely to
her waist, and then taking a child under
each arm and holding a third child to her
breast, she jumped into the canal. The
cries of the children attracted the atten
tion of a man who could not swim, and
before he could get help, all were drowned.
The bodies were recovered and removed
to the house of the husband, and he was
notified of the occurrence, receiving the
news, it is said,while in company with the
woman who had caused the unhappiness.
So great was the indignation amo'ig the
people at large that a detachment of po
lice was kept guarding his house from
the first, until after the funeral. It is
stated that in the crowd in attendance
yesterday not less than fifty men, and
even women, were armed with pistols for
the avowed purpose of shooting Bessin
ger. He was guarded by the police all
the way to the grave and back, and as a
further protection tho coffin containing
his little boy’s body was placed in the car
riage with him. When the bodies had
been lowered into the grave, a part of
the crowd hooted at Bessinger and a
number of women endeavored to get at
him. One shot was tired at him without
effect. lie was instantly bustled into his
carriage and driven off. Another shot
was fired iu passing the gate, and it is
supposed to have struck him, and he was
carried from the carriage into the house.
Great indignation still exists, and lynch
law continues to be freely talked of.
THE COLORED CONVENTION.
Richmond, Va., August 20.—The even
ing session of the Colored Convention
was taken up in the reception of commit
tee reports. The Committee on Resolu
tions recommend that no person be en
dorsed for office. Adopted. The com
mittee also reported declaring that this
convention looks with anxiety and alarm
at the condition of disorganization and
dissatisfaction existing in the party in
the State, caused by the appointment of
numbers of Federal office-holders all over
the State, many being prominent Demo
crats, who would blush were Republican
sentiments imputed to them, and of
others who are an incubus to the party
and who are preparing for a precipitable
desertion to tho Democratic, lines in case
the late lamented Confederacy should
succeed iu establishing its power
again in 1870. These resolutions were
discussed at length and fiunlly sent to
the Committee on Federal Relations. A
rsolution was offered petitioning the
Legislature against the proposed amend
ment to the Constitution which disfran
chises a person convicted of petit larceny
and requires a man to pay his poll tax
before ho can vote. The rest of the ses
sion was spent in organizing, with no
particular features of interest.
A NEW PARTY.
Boston, August 21.—The initiative
step to forming what is designated as the
National Union party, with Gen. N. P.
Banks for the Presidential candidate, and
possibly L. Q. C. Lamar, of Mississippi,
as Vice President, was taken here to-day.
A State Central Committee was formed,
and a platform and resolutions adopted.
No prominent men iu either party took
part iu the proceeding. The resolutions
pronounce the Republican and Demo
cratic parties partisan organizations and
dangerous, and call for anew party of
peace. They further condemn the enor
mous frauds on the government, dishonest
public officials, great monopolies and
corporations tending to oppress the
people. Sudden inflation or contracting
the currency are declared dangerous, and
the only way to specie resumption is to
make the promise of the nation as valu
able as private notes. No encouragement
should be given to sectional enmity. Gen.
Banks was not present, but in a letter he
stated that he was not a candidate for
President, and did not desire his name to
stand iu the way of that governmental
reform which four-fifths of the people
demand.
GOVERNOR SMITH.
Augusta, Ga., August 23—Governor
Smith was serenaded, and made a speech
to a large concourse of people. He said
there was serious cause for apprehension
of au insurrection in the disturbed coun
ties, but owing to the timely and prudent
action of the whites all danger had passed.
The great mass of the colored people
really knew nothing of the gravity and
danger of the plot into which they were
being led by a few bad negroes. He
counselled prudence and forbearance. All
men, whites and blacks, should be protect
ed in their rights of peisou and propertr.
He would see to it that peace and order
and good government were preserved by
a rigid enforcement of the laws. The
courts were open and all violators of the
peace would be tried and punished. All
danger had passed and there was no
reason to apprehend any further infrac
tions of the peace. He will offer a re
ward of five hundred dollars for the ar
rest of “General” Morris, the leader in
the recent troubles. It is reported that a
colored man was killed iu one of the
counties. The Governor says he will
offer a reward for the arrest of the mur
derers if the report proves correct. He
will remain in Augusta to-morrow.
THE FOREIGN WHEAT CROP.
London, August 23.—The Mark Lane
Express on the weekly grain markets says
the wheat crop in Great Britain has
been gathered in much better order than
was expected. Prices generally yielded
1(& 25.; iu some cases 2<2>3s. New samples
look well in comparison with those of
last year, with less acreage and a dimin
ished yield.
The Paris market also felt the benefit
of the effect.of the weather, the price of
flour having declined two shillings a sack
in many parts. In France the harvest
has been gathered, but iu none of the
provinces will the yield be anywise live
that of last year. Accounts from the
continent differ somewhat, but all agree
upon the fact that violent local storms,
with unusually large hailstones, doing
immense damage, hare visited France,
Belgium and Holland. Prices are but
little'changed on the continent generally.
In Germany the markets are firm.

address, on rules, on temperance, on
resolutions, and on finance. A delegate
attempted to read a series of resolutions,
which, from the tone of the first few lines,
were violent and denunciatory in the
extreme. He was interrupted with mo
tions for their reference to a committee
and points of order, amid much confus
ion. during which some of the members
invaded the platform. The resolutions
were referred.
poisoned.
New York, August 21.—Thurlow Weed,
his family and servants, have been suf
fering from symptoms resembling cholera.
The consulting physicians were puzzled
by the sudden and strange sickness, which
indicated poisoning. It was discovered
that a copper tea kettle, used for boiling
water for tea and coffee, had been scoured
with oxalic acid, which combined with
copper formed arseniate of copper. Phy
sicians say Weed and his daughter and
three servants had a narrow escape.

Registrar reports the result of the census

colored 450,029, au excess of colored over
whites of 45,668 and a total increase of
128,115 over the census of 1870. These
figures may be subjected to some slight
modification, the returns of one or two
remove parishes not being quite complete.

severed communication between the cita
del and au outlying fort which defends

SAVANNAH IVIAItKKT.
WEEKLY REPORT.
OFFICE OF THE MORNING NEWS,)
Savannah, August 24, 1875. f
General Rev auks. —The market has expe
rienced a better and more hopeful tone, and mer
chants from many of the interior towns have
operated with more confidence than for some
time past. This impetus to trade is due to the
numerous arrivals of mei chauts from the interior
and the smaller class of cross-road retailers, which
has made quite an improvement in all depart
meats of trade. There has been a slight draw
back to trade on account of the heavy
rains through the country for some weeks
past, which has in some sections very
much interfered with transportation, some of the
roads being in bad order. A large number of
country merchants yisitwl the city to-day from
Southwestern Georgia, taking advantage of the
reduction in fare offered to those who wished to
visit the city to attend an excursion to the coast,
and many of them are buying quite freely of cer
tain lines of goods. A few, however, entertain
the idea that they can get better bargains in New
York than in this market and will pass through
the city en route for that p'ace. L-.st
year large numbers of merchants went to
New York and other Northern markets with the
idea that they could buy goods to better advan
tage, hut after looking around there, many of
them returned and made their purchases in
this city. Savannah is now in the posi
tion to offer' country merchants and small
city retailers every inducement they can
get in New York or any other market,
Cotton.—The market has been quiet the past
week, and little or no change has taken place.
Tlie operations have still been very much re
stricted on account of the small offering stock
and the light demand. The total sales for the
week amount to ony 54 bales. The market
closed to-day quiet. We quote :

Crops—From our advices from the cotton
growing regions we learn that a less hopeful
feeliug prevails in many sections. Still, it is
very difficult to state the exact purport ot the
advices, though we are inclined to-believe that
the condition is ratherone of well-founded aux
iety as to the future than to any considerable
present injury. Dry aad warm weather is much
needed now, and in many sections is indispen
sable for the realization of former h ,pes. If
this dry weather sets in at once there is every
reason to believe that the crop will not be as
greatly injured as many seem to anticipate.
The receipts of cotton at this port for the past
week, from all sourees. have been 129 bales
upland, against 881 bales upland and 2 bales
sea island for the corresponding date last year.
The particulars of the receipts have been as
follows: Per Central Railroad, 65 bales upland:
per Atlantic ar.d Quit Railroad, 62 bales upland
per Augusta steamer, 1 bale upland; per cart, 1
bale upland.
The exports for the week have been 182
bales upland, moving as follows: To New York,
36 bales upland; to Baltimore 6 bales upland, to
Philadelphia, 103 bales upland; to Boston,’ 37
bales upland.
The stock on hand at the close of the mark et
yesterday was 524 bales upland and 61 baks
sea island, against 4,547 bales upland and 111
bales sea island for the corresponding date last
year

through, aside from its many other attractions,
render it a very desirable place for a young ladv
to qu tllfy herself for the duties of lite. •
It is no wonder the Mt. Carroll Seminary has a'-
taimal its present high position, as one of the
very best schools for young ladies in our laud ”
