The Albany New* thus attacks the
Morning News: Mr. Estill, of the Sa
vannah Mounino News, is too modest to
toll it, but it is nevertheless a fact, that
he is putting up a magnificent throe-story,
granite-front printing house for the News.
Ho is erecting it on the corner of White
ker street and Hay lane (Oliver’s old paint
and oil stand), and when completed will
bo tho finest printing establishment south
of tho Baltimore Sun office. The News
has proven a bonanza to Mr. Estill, and
we arc proud to congratulate him on his
wonderful success. A man who mnkes
such n paper as the News deserves the
smiles of fortune.
* Thus the Blakely New*: “Col. Thomas
Hardeman, when in our Agricultural So
ciety last week, made everybody fair
crazy, by announcing that arrangements
were being made with the railroads to
carry passengers the round trip for two
dollars from all parts of the Stuto —that
the arrangements were completed as to
main lines, and ho supposed soon would
be as to the branch roads. To insure a
very large attendance no more successful
step could bo taken than this. The want
of means to get there, even on the one
fare schedule, will keep thousands at home
who would go on tho two dollar tickets.
Just let it he announced through the pa
pers that passengers from this section of
country can go and return from Fort
Gaines or Arlington for two dollars and
our people, old and young, would be
found scrambling around in search of
that two dollars more diligently than
they ever did after half a dollar to go to
a circus. We believe, from the increased
travel it would induce, it would pay the
roads. The increase from tins section
would certainly he not less than five fold.
Try it. gentlemen, it will be a success."
Quitman Reporter : Operations under
the management of the new company,
the Brooks County Manufacturing Asso

wool factory nt Quitman yesterday. The
mill lias been supplied with all the latest
improved machinery, and the company
will now bo able to turn out the best
qualities of cotton and woolen goods,
and compete with any of tho Southern
manufacturing establishments in prices.
They can now supply the trado of this
section with all the different grades of
cotton and woolen goods cheaper than
they can be brought here from elsewhere,
and we trust that our merchants and peo
ple generally will encourage this home
enterprise by giving it their undivided
patronage. We shall have more to say
upon this subject nt another time.
The same paper says: “We were pit ased

tic A Gulf Railroad Company, Mr. El
liott is visiting the different points along
the line of ami tributary to this railroad
on a mission that entitles him and his en
terprise to the commendation and earnest
consideration of our people. His object
is to induce the cultivation of fruits and
vegetables in this section for shipment to
the great Northwest, where such com
modities eauuot be grown in such quan
tities and varieties as we have them here;
and he informs us that the A. A G. R. li.
is having cars built for the special pur
pose of carrying fruit and [vegetables, and
that they can be chartered to run through
to any of the Northern or Western mar
kets at low rates. He suggests the or
ganization of fruit and vegetable grow
ers' associations. We think the idea a
good one, and will have more to say upon
the subject at another time.
Atlanta Commonwealth-Herald-. We
regret very much to learu that Colonel
W. Leroy Broun has resigned his chair as
Professor of “natural ,philosophy, as
tronomy and mechanics” of the Uni
versity of Georgia. He goes to take a
position in Vanderbilt College. This
will be a great loss to the University and
to the State of Georgia. No one knows
how to appreciate Professor Broun unless
they have been under him. As one who
was under his tutorage for two years, we
can speak of him from a personal knowl
edge of his merits. He has thoroughly
identified himself with the educational
interests of the State —indeed, of the
whole South, and will be greatly missed.
He • is a thoroughly scientific man, his
fame as such spreading over the
whole South, and over the whole
of the Western Continent Professor
Broun was a benefit to the insti
tution, which it can ill afford to lose.
His name in connection with the faculty
is a great benefit to the institution. He
had the interest of the University at bis
very heart, and was unceasing and tire
less in his efforts to build it up. He did
more for the elevating and building up
of the institution than any other man in
connection with it, and if the Trustees
permit him to go to Vanderbilt, they will
commit one of the grossest errors. We
don’t know exactly his cause for resign
ing, although we have some strong sus
picions as to it. If our surmises are
right, tho Trustees can easily remove the
causes of his discontentment, and get
him to remain. By doing so they will
keep a great many at the University who
will otherwise leave.

The Charleston News and Courier says:
“The Savannah Advertiser, a bright and
energetic newspaper, has been bought by
Mr. J. 11. Estill, and consolidated with
the Savannah News, of which he is the
proprietor. This is the drift of the news
paper business. Consolidations, by re
ducing the number of newspapers, en
able the publishers of those which sur
vive to give the public first-class journals,
instead of the shabby concerns of which
the country has so many. There was not
business enougli in Suvannah to support
two first rates, but the union of the
News and Advertiser will give that city
permanently one paper creditable to it in
every way, one that will make money,
and can, therefore, spend money freely.
Next?”
Tho Constitutionalist says that as in
ventions aro the order of the day, Au
gusta cannot afford to be behind the age,
and now she brings Mr. Charles F. M.
Bernhardt, an employe of the Georgia
Railroad, to the front with a river boat,
which he proposes to run without steam.
Mr. Bernhardt showed us the drawing.
It certainly looks very feasible, but being
of any practical value is another thing—
that remains to be seen. It is proposed
to run the boat by a water wheel. This
wheel will be aft; a large tank, will be
built on the deck, and this is to be first
supplied with water by means of a hand
pump. The water from the tank then
runs the stern wheel, and, after the boat
is once in motion, its own action keeps
tho tank supplied with water. There are
several other points, which it is claimed
add to the practicability of the invention,
1 and Mr. Bernhardt has no doubt that it
will be a success.
Under date of Macon, the 16th, Jeff
Long, the notorious colored politician,
issues the following : “Our good name
as law-abiding, peaceable and order
loviug citizens has been, within the last
few weeks, most causelessly and malici
ously attacked. The charge of insurrec
tion has been made against us and
heralded to the whole civilized world.
We stand to-day charged with eouspiring
to perpetuate deeds of savage barbarity,
ami these charges have been published
and scattered broadcast through the land,
until, doubtless, strangers must naturally
infer that we have neither education or
religion—that we have all the vices and
none of the virtues of the human race.
Shall we yindicate our good name, or
shall we remain quiet under a slanderous
charge not made against us in the days
of slavery, when an insurrection might
have been profitable. Let us meet and
hurl back the scurrilous misrepresenta
tion, only a part and parcel of the in
famous moans resorted to by wicked poli
tical leaders to, at our expense, revel
‘in ill-gotten gains. We owe this to
our own manhood, and to the honor of
our wives ami children. Wherefore, as
President of the last colored convention
held in Georgia. I hereby call all colored
members of the Legislature,constitutional
convention, and other or present officials,
chairmen of various executive commit
tees, and such prominent gentle
men as may have representations to make,
to meet in Augusta, Georgia, Thursday,
October 7th, 1875, at 12 o'clock, there ancl
theu to deliberate and determine what
advice to give our people, and what ac
tion to take in the premises. The call is
issued principally to the leaders, because
it will be in the midst of the crop-gather
ing time, and we deem it unnecessary to
take too many from their employment.”
Macon Telegraph: “Our dispatches this
morning briefly report the suicide, in
Atlanta, of Captain French, who ended
his life by taking morphine. Captain H
L. French, the deceased, was a citizen of
Atnericus, but held a position under Jack
Brown in the revenue office. At six
o'clock yesterday morning he was found
in his office in a dying condition. He
was lying on his back, upon his desk,
with his arms crossed upon his breast,
and gasping his last breath away. It was
too late to do anything for him, and he
died in a very short while after being
discovered. He left a letter addressed to
Colonel Brown, in which he stated that
he loved a woman, and could not live
without dishonor unless he inarried her;
but would not marry her and leave his
children. He gave the name of the
woman and stated also that she lived at
No. on Thompson street in Atlanta,
and left directions for Brown to provide
her the means of returning to her family.
It is understood that her home is in
Southwest Georgia, and that she is re
spectably connected. He further stated
in his letter that it was generally consid
ered that people who committed suicide
are insane, but he was not He knew what
he was about, and had taken eight grains
of morphine, deliberately for the purpose
of ending his life. This statement, he
also said, would render an inquest and
post mortem examination unnecessary.
The letter was well written, and evinced
great composure and determined pre
meditation. Capt. French was a man of
some means, and stood well in Americus.
He was at one time Mayor of that city
and the owner of the hotel there which
bears his name. He was a man of pol
ished manners, and was scrupulous in
dress. He was about forty-five years of
age and a widower with several children,
upon whoin the dreadful circumstances
of liis death will fall with crushing weight,
He passed through Macon Friday night
on his way to Atlanta.”

AFFAIRS.
the *tatk fair.
COB.
The statement having found circula
tion th® the Agricultural Society, at their
approaching fair, to be held at Macon on
the 18th of October next, had “offered
no premium for either the best sample or
largest yield of rice.” Secretary Johnston
has written a letter to the editor of the
Darien Timber Gazette, in which the an
nouncement was first made, declaring t
statement a mistake. In the full pre
mium list, contained in the pamphlet of
the fair, for a copy of which we are in
debted to Gen. Harrison, we find on
page 23 the following premiums offered:
144. Best acre of Rice, (uplaad)..., $25 00
145. Best acre of Rice, (lowland) 25 00
184. Best bushel of Rice 10 00
Secretary Johnston, calling attention to
this, says that the same premiums have
stood upon the premium list from year to
year, for the last four years, with the ex
ception that >SO instead of $25, has here
tofore been offered, and not one entry has
come from the “seaboard” counties. Think
°f if— a t the fair of 1873, in Macon, for the
best acre of lowland rice there was but a
single entry—and that from Pike county
in the upper part of Middle Georgia.
This crop was produced by Mr. R. M.
Brooks of that county, and yielded one
hundred bushels.
“Thomas county usually competes for
the best acre of upland rice, Dr. P. S.
Bower, of that county, having made as
high as ninety-two bushels to the acre.
“I think you will have to take back
your statement, and stir up the 'seaboard
counties’ for not coming out and exhib
iting at the State Fair ‘their great staple
and plantation product. ’
“The fair has done its duty by offering
liberal premiums for rice crops from year
to year; but the ‘seaboard counties’ have
not availed themselves of the invita
tion.”
Extension of the Atlantic and Gulf Kail
road.
The project of extending the Atlantic
and Gulf Railroad to its original ter
minus at Pollard, is again attracting in
terest, and it is to be hoped that the im
portance and value of the work so appa
rent at present, will commend to our en
terprising business men the necessity of
prompt action. That the completion of
this work would result in grand bene
fit to Savannah and give increased
and valuable stimulus to our trade, is so
patent as to be universally acknowledged-
In this connection we com
mend to the careful consid
eration of our business community,
the following brief editorial from the
Valdosta Times, which puts the matter
in a plain, practical and sensible light:
“The attitude taken by the Central in
reference to the Charleston and Savannah
Road, will certainly open the eyes of the
business men of that city to the impor
tance of the early extension of the above
road. It is that city’s greatest artery,
and its extension would infuse new life
into everything. The solid men of Sa
vannah ought to take hold of the enter
prise. Aid would flow in all along the
whole line of road. We believe that
our town and county would materi
ally aid the work. Can anything be done?
Certainly the time for masterly inactivity
in this matter is past. We hope that
our contemporaries in the Forest City,
and along the line of the road will take
hold of the matter and agitate it into
some kind of shape. It is the one great
enterprise of South Georgia. Put the
ball in motion.”
TIIE STATE FAIR ANl> THE HIFJ.E
TEAMS.
A MUuonceptiun on the Subject.
A day or so ago we printed a paragraph
in relation to the rules and regulations
which have been adopted in regard to the
rifle shooting to take place at the State
Fair. Mr. Frank Molina, of this city,
wrote to Mr. Malcolm Johnston, the Sec
retary, to get his interpretation of one or
two obscure regulations. Mr. Johnston
replied that the rules did not require
that a rifle team contending for the prize
at the State Fair should be composed of
members of particular organizations—a
very important piece of information,
which we lost no time in giving to the
public.
It appears, however, that Mr. John
ston was rather hasty in his interpretation
of the rules, for, in a letter dated the
16th, he asks Mr. Molina to correct the
impression conveyed in the paragraph in
the Morning News. Mr. Johnston states
that since his letter of the 10th he has
looked into the rules and regulations
more closely, and he finds that his inter
pretation was incorrect. He therefore
revokes the decision made, and
says that the evident intention
and gpirit of the rules are that a team
must be composed of members of a single
military company or of a single r ; fle as
sociation. Otherwise, Mr. Johnston says,
the crack shots in any community can
club together, form a team, and have a
better chance to win a prize than the
teams already organized from the military
companms and rifle associations in the
State.

and other stations, 0 from Vicksburg, 0
from New Orleans.
total though movement by this
route, since September Ist, is 341

A Sweeping Sale.
Yesterday morning a countryman from
Bulloch county came to town with his
horse and cart and the usual load at this
season, a bale of cotton. After consider
able exertion and no little opposition
from some of the Market square mer
chmts, he succeeded in disposing of the
bale to Messrs. BlitehA Miller. Not sat
isfied with this success our Bulloch coun
ty friend determined to convert his horse,
cart and appurtenances into “ rag
money and relieve his mind of further
trouble. A brief search resulted in find
ing a purchaser in Messrs. Wilson & Lee.
It is now suggested this Bulloch county
team and “landaulet ” pan be hired for
a dash to Thunderbolt. This is one of
the most sweeping sales of the season.

“ The Boys in Gbey.” —We were wont
to admire the boys, who wore the grey,
though it was not for the grey alone, but
for the noble, chivalrous hearts that beat
under it. They commanded the admira
tion of the true and the brave in every
land. But how few admire a fine head
enveloped in grey hair and 'whiskers —
very few. We all love admiration and
nothing in our appearance is more calcu
lated to secure it than pretty hair. If
old age, sickness or sorrow has robbed
you of it, you can regain it by the use of

THE COTTON CROP.
T#ld Dale* Haipd far the Year, 3,£27,.
545- laleredlog Figure* Relative to
the Overland movement.
New Orleans, September 17. — The
Crop Committee of the National Cotton
Exchange issued their report to-day,
making the total crop for the year ending
September 1, 1875, 3,827,845 bales; of
which 2,074.448 were exported foreign,
1,200,473 taken by home spinners, in
cluding 126,550 for net Southern con
sumption ; sea island crop 16.687 bales,
including 8,139 Florida; 1,074 Georgia,
1,308 South Cirolina, and 166 Texas:
average weight of crop 468 pounds per
bale, sea island 392 pounds per bale.
Relative to the overland movement
the report says it occurred to
our committee that if in compu
ting the overland movement, state
ments could be obtained of the rail
roads leading out from the points
of crossing on the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers, setting forth not only the aggre
gate quantity of cotton transported, but
also detailing points of destination, a
complete check would be afforded against
statements of overland receipts at the
Atlantic ports, and vice versa. A diffi
culty in the way of obtaining such a
check has hitherto been the custom of
biffing cotton through to delivery ports
anti changing by telegraph the destina
tion of such shipments while in transit
to miffs in the interior. Special inquiry
has been made upon this point, and we
find that little, if any, through cotton
has been diverted from the original points
of destination this year. In tracing the
overland shipments as shown in the an
nexed statement we have in all cases
credited these as receipts at the first de
livery port touched. This was necessary
in order to
AVOID CONFUSION,
and especially to conform with the cus
tom of counting cotton as net at the first
port at which it is received or through
which it may pass. For example, cottons
ahippvd from tlio iutorinr t.o Providence,
passing through Now York, is credited
to New York, and so with like shipments
via other ports to ports or to the mills
The difficulty of working up these de
tails has been enhanced by the fact that
few transportation companies kept their
books so as to be enabled to furnish any
thing but the aggregate quantity of cot
tons handled, and it was therefore neces
sary to overhaul this year’s business, item
by item, to arrive at the facts. In most
cases this was done by railroad officials
themselves, whilst in others access was
cheerfully given to the representatives of
the National Cotton Exchange to all re
cords from which could be extracted the
necessary information. With these re
marks, your committee submit the fig
ures of

THE ENGLISH COTTON TRADE.
A Liverpool View of the Situation.
Ths cotron circular of Smith, Edwards
& Cos., Liverpool, of August 31st, has the
following remarks pertinent to the pres
ent condition of the cotton and cotton
goods trade in England:
The Manchester market during the past
month has not varied to any great extent;
its general tone has improved somewhat,
chiefly owing to the strike at Oldham.
Already, it is supposed, the consumption
of cotton has been reduced some 40jOQQ
or 50,000 bales in all. This his given
firmness to all that class of yarns affected
by the strike, chiefly 32’s twist, which is
largely produced at Oldham; indeed, in
some of them an advance of id. to Jd.
has taken place. 4 fair amount @f gen
eral business has also been transacted
lately in most other departments of the
market, and the extreme depression
which characterized it so long has consid
erably abated; at the same time there
has been no great recovery, either in tone
or price. Stocks of goods have not been
cleared out, and foreign markets give no
encouragement; merchants continue ex
tremeb cautious, credit is contracted in
all financial quarters, and the business
doing is mainly from hand to mouth.
It is not thought that the Oldham diffi
culty wili be settled before long, and
when the mills resume work there the
tendency may again be to over supply
the Manchester market; at the same time
great relief has been already given by
the five weeks’ stoppage of mills, and
we would not be surprised if the beneficial
effect was felt all next year in that class
of yarn. For some time past the produc
tion of yarn has been increasing faster
than looms to manufacture it, and now
the equilibrium has been restored ; in
deed it is probable that weaving will be
the worse trade for some time, and great
oomplaints are made of its unprofitable
ness at present.
Looking at the market merely from a
statistical point of view, we see nothing
in the prospect of supply to frighten
holders. There is no doubt that the con
sumption of the world has exceeded the
production of cotton the last twelve
months; estimates of invisible supply
vary, but all agree that it is less than lak
year, while the visible supply is 180,000
bales short, mostly, however, in bales of
small weight. We consider that a crop
of four millions would not be enough for
next year, but we are not inclined at
present to rely on that figure. We think
the chances are in favor of a larger yield.
Statistical considerations, however, are
overruled for the present by the bad state
of trade; the utter want of confidence
prevailing everywhere, but especially in
America, and the poverty of cotton spec
ulators and importers makes it most dif
ficult to galvanize the- market. We ex
pect this depression will tell powerfully
on prices the coming season. If the crop
threatens to be short it will neutralize it
to some extent, but if large estimates
prevail later in the season, and receipts
are liberal, we should expect to see
drooping markets. We never remember
a time when the speculative spirit was
more entirely out of the cotton trade,
and this will be felt as soon as the
next crop has to be moved in quan
tity. For some time, however, the
figures will look pretty strong,
shipments to England will be long of
commencing, as the Continental and
American spinners are bare, and will take
the early receipts; our stocks will run
down rapidly, and as holders are relieved
they may become firmer, therefore it is
not unlikely that the price of the spot
will be steadier than that of arrivals. At
the same time the controlling influence
will come from America. Our market
has little intrinsic strength, and in the
main it will follow the currents of opinion
that rule New York, where the “bear”
element decidedly predominates at
present.
Continental politics are causing a little
uneasiness. Some uneasiness also exists
respecting our relations with China; the
government of that country seems in
clined to take a course that may precipi
tate a quarrel. It is impossible to tell
what the result will be of the negotia
tions that are now pending.
THEATRICALS IN THE SOUTH.
What the Season Promises to Be.
The New York Tribune, of the 14th,
has the following to say about the South
ern stage: “ There are indications that
the field of theatrical enterprise in the
South©**!* Stale® will Do worked somewnai
more extensively and vigorously this sea
son than in previous seasons for a num
ber of years. It is an interesting, profit
able and important business and art
domain ; and prosperity within its pre
cincts would be accepted as a happy
augury for the good fortune of the South.
In the cities which lie to the south of
Washington and St. Louis —if we except
New Orleans —the theatres appear to
lack local management, to have no stock
companies, and to depend on itinerant
combinations. Thus they are open
ed and shut spasmodically, and
their health is precarious. This
was not always so; for, in years before
the war, Richmond, Charleston, Savan
nah, Montgomery and Mobile were excel
lent theatrical cities, and good stock
companies as well as the leading stars
rarely failed to flourish in all of them.
About the year 1848, for example, Wil
liam Rufus Blake, H. A. Perry, Charles
Burke, James Stark, William Chippen
dale (the elder), and George Jordan wore
members of the stock company—en
gaged, and prosperous, for the full
season —of the Richmond Theatre j and
this was a company that could not
easily be matched now, in any city of the
Republic. In 1851 Joseph Jefferson and
John A. Ellsler managed in Charleston,
and frequently acted in neighboring
cities. In 1858 the stock company of
the Richmond Theatre —then managed
by John T. Ford—comprised, among
many others, Joseph Jefferson, Edwin
Adams and Mary Devlin—who subse
quently became the wife of Edwin Booth.
It was in that season, at the Richmond
Theatre, that Edwin Booth appeared as
Henry the Fifth, Shakspeare’s historical
play of that name having been then pro
duced for the first time in the United
States. These facts indicate the class of
players and the kind of dramatic enter
tainment that abounded in Southern cities
twenty years ago, M. W. Canning, at
about that time, managed in Montgome
ry, S. B. Duffield in Mobile, and John
Green (“honest John”) in Nashville.
Twenty years ago Jarrett and Ford
were young managers in Baltimore, aud
in their stock companies and among their
associates were John E. Owens, Joseph
Jefferson, John S. Clarke, El win Booth,
Edwin Adams, C. W- Tayleure aud H. L.
Bateman. The Baltimore home of Mr.
Bateman was then the headquarters of
theatrical life in tjiat region. The Rate
man girls, infant prodigies then, already
gave denotements of a bright future.
Old Cowell was about, with his quips and
cranks. And from that coterie have
emerged leading actors, famous now-a
days, on both the English and American
stage, and managers who have succeeded
alike in New York, Washington and Lon
don.
Since the war—which, of course, al
most killed the Southern theatres' —efforts
have been now and again made, particu
larly in Memphis and Richmond, to
maintain for a full season the old fash
ioned stock company theatre; but they
have not been encouraged by success.
The expenses of carrying on the business
were found to have increased; and, in
brief, whatever of good fortune was
attainable has accrued to star actors, of
acknowledged reputation, who traveled
with their own companies. In Charleston
the theatre waa destroyed during
the war; but since then the Adger
building, formerly a dry goods shop,
has been turned into an “Academy of
Music,” and this property, which origin
ally cost $200,000, and which was altered
at the expense of $30,000, was recently
sold to John E. Owens —the admirable
and distinguished comedian—for less than
$50,000. In Savannah the old theatre
still exists, which was built nearly sixty
years ago. In Augusta, Ga., Girardey’s
Opera House was lately advertised to be
sold at Sheriff’s sale. In Atlanta there
is a pretty little theatre, which was
erected by the enterprise of a French
resident of that city, M. Louis de Give—
who certainly bears a very good name
for a public benefactor. The Mobile
theatre is managed by a well known
journalist and dramatist, Mr. T. and. De-
Leon, who often pleads the cause of art
in the columns of the Mobile Hegister.
The Richmond theatre was both burnt
and rebuilt during the war. In Raleigh
they have a neat little opera house; and
in Wilmington, N. C., a part of the City
Hall is set aside for the ch-ama;'but in
North Carolina the cost of a license to
give theatrical performances is so great
and the chances of doing a good business
seem so little, that but few entertain
ments are ever given in that State. The
three needful permits- State, ap.s
town—for one exhibition, cost more in
North Carolina than all the cities north
of Richmond together,
It is reasonable to assume i hat quite
as much money is Upended now, as in
any prevvyj g Beasoili U p on theatrical en
tertainments in the South; but this ex
penditure, both as to time and place, is
more concentrated than before, Jefferson
and Owens are especially popular in the
South. In 1873 the former's average of
receipts was $1,200 a night in places
where, twenty years earlier, he used to
rejoice if, both as manager and actor,
he got S2OO. Edwin Booth has not
acted in any of the Atlantic States south
of Maryland for over fifteen years; and
the probability is that his journey
through the South this season will be
quite a triumphal progress. Mr. Ray
mond, as “Col. Sellers,” is also going to
make the circuit of the Southern thea
tres, and doubtless “they are waiting for
him now.” Mr. Booth will not appear
in Washington, but he will visit all the
other South Atlantic cities, “Col. Sel
lers ’ will be in Washington when Con
gress meets, and will hold up to legisla
tors a glass wherein they may see the in
most part of them. These, and indeed
all the prominent actors who visit the
South this season, go thither under the
management of Mr. Ford, of Baltimore,
who is a preferred lessee of the Southern
theatres, and to whose enterprising plans
is mainly due the approaching revival of
theatricals on the Southern stage.
The President is credited with a little
joke at the expense of the editorial pro
fession. The people of Vineland, N. J.,
have been trying to secure the removal of
Postmaster Landis, who, it will be remem
bered, lodged a bullet in Editor Carrulh’s
brain. The President, upon hearing of
the matter, asked Jewell whether there
was any irregularity in Mr. Landis’s ac
counts. “Not any,” replied ' the Post
master-General. “Is the office well con
ducted? ” “No complaint on that score.”
“Intemperate habits?” “Nothing of
the kind charged.” “ What is the objec
tion ? ” “The petitioners say he is rather
obnoxious, and that a change wonld be
satisfactory.” “ Well,” replied the Pres
ident, “he doesn’t appear to have done
anything bat shoot an editor, and I don’t
see how I can remove him on that.”
Not Entirely Without Reason.—
Bundy has been married two weeks, and
has left his wife. Bundy is a little man,
and his wife weighs two hundred and
forty pouuds, and was the relict of the
late Peter Potts. About ten days after
marriage Bundy was surprised, on
awakening in the morning, to find his
better half sitting up in bed crying as if
her heart would break. Astonished, he
asked the cause of her sorrow, but re
ceiving no reply he began to surmise
that there must be some secret on her
mind that she withheld from him, that
was the cause of her anguish; so he re
marked to Mrs. B. that, as they were
married, she should tell him the cause of
her grief, so, if possible, he could avert
it, and after considerable coaxing be
elicited the following from her :
“Last night I dreamed I was single, and
as I walked through a well-lighted street
I came to a store where a sign in front
advertised husbands for sale. Thinking
it curious, I entered, and ranged along
the wall on either side were men with
prices affixed to them. Such beautiful
men : some for $1,090, some for SSOO,
and so on to $l5O. And as I had not that
amount I could mot purchase.”
Thinking to console her, Bundy placed
his arm lovingly around her aud asked :
“And did you see any men like me
there ?”
“Oh, yes,” she replied, drawing away
from him; “lots like you; they were
tied up in bunches, like asparagus, and
sold for ten cents per bunch. ”
Bundy got up and went to see his law
yer as to whether he had sufficient ground
for a divorce. — JY. T. Commercial Ad

The Houston Telegraph has the follow
ing account of a fight between Captain
Eddins, Superintendent of the Galves
ton, Harrisburg and San Antonio Rail
road, and Frank Stearns, Mayor of Har
risburg, Texas: Mayor Steams sent a
written challenge to Captains Eddins, de
manding the satisfaction due oue gentle
man from another, according to the code.
To this Captain E. sent a verbal reply that
he was not a duellist, but if Mr. Stearns
wanted satisfaction to “come and get it.”
Shortly afterward Captain Eddins saw
Stearns approaching him with a shotgun,
aud when Captain Eddins left the house
to meet him, the gun was levelled at him.
Eddins had a pistol in his hand, which
he carried by his side, never raising it.
He walked deliberately up to Stearns,
under cover of the gun, until he reached
him, when he grasped the gun, at the
same time throwing his pistol to the
ground. Wrenohing the gun from
Stearns, Eddins struck him several times
with his lists, one of the blows breaking
some of Stearns’ ribs. The parties were
separated, and Mr. Stearns conveyed to
his home, where it is thought his in
juries will confine him for several weeks.
An Incident at the New York City
Hall. —A meanly dressed woman with a
babe in her arms went to the City Hall
early yesterday morning. Her husband
had several weeks ago lost his job on tho
public works, and had been unable to get
employment*elsewhere. Starvation be
came frighteningly probable. The wife
told Alderman Rower of her plight, and
he gave her a letter to Commissioner Por
ter asking for the reinstatement of the
husband. “Nothing for him,” was the
answer that she got. Next she resolved
to appeal to Mayor Wickham, and for
hours she stood at the entrance to his of
flee. The lackeys pushed her aside to let
in politicians, saying, “You oan’t get in
here; more important people are wait
ing.” The time of the Mayor’s recep
tion of visitors passed, and at last she
was told, “You’re too late now.” After
that she sat on the steps of the City Hall
weeping.— N. Y. Sun, 1(R7;,

SAVANNAH iHAKKKT.
WEEKLY REPORT.
OFFICE OF THE MORNING NEWS,)
SAV4KN4H, September sl, 1875. (
General Remarks,—The trade of the city the
past week has continued good, and a fair aggre
gate amount of goods have been sold. Ihe mild
weather so far has to a certain extent been a bar
to the fall trade, as consumers have delayed their
purchases of heavier goods upt’U inch time as
they are compelled to make them. As soon, how
ever, as the cold weather sets in, it is thought the
trade will be very brisk, and many merchants an
ticipate a heavier trade than last year aud the
year previous. The past pay or two of cool
weather has had the effect of hurrying a nun l ,
her of near-by retailers in the market,
who have bought more freely of woolcp goods
than at any other time sinpe the opening of trade.
Mpch satisfaction is expressed on the part of
jobbers at the cautious manner in which all mer
chants are making their purchases, aud are of the
opinion, as their experience has demons trated",
that, really sound buyers limit their purchases in
quantity, preferring frequent returns to the mar
ket.
There have been no important changes in the
market the past weeit, either in prices or other
wise. The market generally is firm and prices
well sustained. In flour, however, we
have had an irregular market. Favorite
brands from old wheat have been scarce
and have brought very, full pricey in a small way ;
but flours, prime old wheat, and irregular lots of
all sorts, have been neglected, and prices have
shown a weakening pendency.
Cotton.— We have had a very Irregular
market of spots. The early part of the week
prices declined steadily under the free receipts
at the ports, increasing stock, find depressing
foreign advices. The last two days, however,
there has been a decided improve*u eE *hi the
tone aud a slight advance in prices, which
hare teea sustained up to the closing of
the market this evening. We give below
