liainbridgo Democrat: The Savannah
News has asked the question: Aro there any
lands fur sale in Southern Georgia? We
, auswor for Decatur in the allirmative. There
is plenty of laud in this county, laud capable
of producing anything that grows in this
semi-tropical climate, which can he bought
at a bargain. For instance, not long ago, a
splendid farm of ono hundred and twenty
live acres, all necessary buildings, flue
orchard, etc., situated in the Fowlstown
district, one of the richest in tho State, sold
j... film, ijia... tm <nut>ro iiiriu enough m
this county to sustain 50,000 people,
which can bo bought, and cheap too. Ono
reason why the public do not know
that lands aro for sale in this section is be
cause those who wish to sell do not adver
tise the fact, as such a proceeding would
cost Homotting; but now to all of that way
of thinking, we would say : Major H. 8.
Haines, Superintendent of the Atlantic anil
Gulf Railroad, will sooii issue a pamphlet
for general distribution, giving a descrip
tion of tho lauds lying along the lino of his
road, and ho extends au invitation to pub
lish free all the lands for sale iu Southern
Georgia. Now, all who wish to sell laud
should soud a description and terms to Maj.
Haines forthwith, as it will costnothiug but
a postage stamp.
Quitman lieporler : A few years ago Mr.
Thomas Horne, who lives near Boston,
Thomas county, Georgia, sent to a seeds
man (wo have forgotten tlio address) for
four or live different varieties of oats, for
the purpose of finding out which variety
was best suited for our climate. Tho one
selected as best adapted to our soil and
climate was the “yellow-bearded rust proof
oats.” They differed from tho common rust
proof by being exceedingly ] rolitic and
very heavy, the average weight beiug thirty
two pounds per bushel. Mr. Horn then
divided with two of Ins neighbors, Mr. B. I.
Htouo and Mr. Whaley, with tho understand
ing that each should keep the seed pure ;
and since that time each of them have
endeavored to keep their seod in their vir
gin purity. At tho Thomasvillo Fair last
month,|tho Homo oat was awarded tho pre
mium over all other varieties. While
at Boston one day last week Mr. B.
I. Stone g rati lied our curiosity by giving us
alo ik into his burn, which was’ filled with
the golden cereal. His crop averaged him
this year twenty-three bushels per acre, on
poor pine land, which, unassisted by fer
tilizers, would ordinarily make about ten
bushels of corn per acre. Mr. Stone is
shipping them to different parts of South
Georgia and Florida for the very reasonable
price of one dollar per bushel.
Mr. L. C. Mattox, of Clinch county, writes
as follows to the Valdosta Timex ; In your
last issue, under the heading of “ Orange
Culture,” I flud the editor of your Wayoross
Department has discovered a young orange
tree iu hearing at Dupont, which seems to
he the Ilrst ho has noticed iu this section,
although he has beeu a resident of Southern
Georgia for more than twenty years. I have
teu bearing trees, some of which are over
twenty years of age, from which 1 have
gathered twenty and twenty-five hundred or
anges per tree in one season. Iu the year
1865 I sold thirty dollars worth from two
trees, over and above what my family
wished to consume. It was at, or just after,
the close of tho war whou they bore a good
price. The suggestions of Mr. Hunt for
their protection against cold is iucorrect.
When protected on the uortli by a wall the
reflected heat of the wall causes the spring
growth to start so early that the last colds
of receding winter will kill the fruit
if not the tree, and trees on the north
hss something of the tame effect,
besides drawing on the soil so as to debili
tate the trees, (I mean the orange trees),
wbeti they will not stand so much cold or
bear so well. The best plan is to give them
plenty of space, fertilize well, set some
posts in a semi-circle on the north side a
few feet from them, and during the severest
weather, which only lasts a day or two at a
time, stretch a cauvass from post to post.
The canvass should bo removed as early as
practicable each time, inourriug trees to as
much cold as they can bear.
Sandcrsville Herald : Ou Thursday night
last, IStli inst., a most brutal murder was
perpetrated ou the premises of Mr. K. J.
Moye, in this county, about fifteen miles
from this city, ou the lilackshear Ferry
road. The victim was Jordau Chambers, a
quiet, inoffensive negro. Tbe circumstances
as related to us by Mr. Moye are these :
About a quarter past uine o’clock Thursday
night the report of a guu was heard, and a
few minutes after a boy ran up to Mr. Move’s
house and reported that his brother "was
shot. Mr. Moye v eut dowu immediately
and found Jordau lying at the corner of
his cabin, with seven buckshot wounds in
his bodv and two in his arm. Mr. Moye
had him carried iuto the house, and Dr. ’j.
8. Wood was sent for immediately. Dr.
Wood came, but could do nothing lor the
wounded man. He lived until about half
past 1 o’clock Friday morning. He con
versed with Mr. Moye and Dr. Wood, and
said he did not know who shot him, or for
what purpose. The night was very dark,
and he did not see the person shootiug.
An inquest was held by Coronor Orr, and
four ntqfioes examined. They stated that
they had been there that night helping Jor
dan • cover some corn that was in a pen.
They had a fire in the yard near the
corner of the cabin. Witnesses went in
the house and Jordan stopped outside
and was crackiug some walnuts. A few mo
ments after witnesses got in the house they
heard the report of a gun, and upon going
ut found Jordan shot. Jordan was one of
the State’s witnesses in the late insurrec
tion trials, and circumstances, not best here
to state, point strongly to parties deeply im
plicated in the attempted insurrection as
the perpetrators of this foul murder. For
prudential reasons we withhold the name
of the party or parties suspected. Mr. Moye
and the good people of the community are
determined to lerret the matter out, and
bring the guilty partv to justice if possible.
This makes the third State’s witness that
has beeu mysteriously killed since the at
tempted insurrection— two in adjoining
pouunee and one in this.

cle : The ten days truce between Governor
Smith and Treasurer Jones have expired,
and the latter has failed to make an accepta
ble bond, and the Governor will proceed im
mediately to appoint a Treasurer ad interim
Die failure of Captain Jones to make a bond
HU - prised no one hero, as the reports circu
lated concerning his alleged negligence and
inefficiency have permeated tho entire State,
it is not known what course ho will pursue,
but it is supposed that he will prepare a vin
dication of his conduct and policy for the
incoming Legislature and the public
at large. I learn that there are
very extenuating circumstances con
nected with Jones’s payment of the
$150,000 or $200,000 of bonds by him the
second time. For instance, there are about
$175,000 of bonds which, it is said, were
paid twico, in tho following manner: The
bonds were paid by a London banking
house over its own counters and charged to
Henry Clows & Cos., its correspondents, who
were at that time the authorized agents of
the State, and were forwarded by tho Lon
don house uncancelled to Clews & Cos., in
New York city. Henry Clews received them,
did not eaucel them, hut put them up at
auotiou and sold llwm to tlio highest
w.u*, anti the purchasers presented
them to State Treasurer Jones for
payment, who, finding them un
paid, . paid them without suspecting
auy fraud. Some other bonds to the amount
of $25,000 or $30,000 were paid by tho Na
tional Park Bank of New York, and were
placed in the hands of tho son of Treasurer
Angier uncancelled to be deposited with the
State Treasurer two or three days before
Jones entered upon the discharge of duty.
These uncaucellcd bonds, it is said, were
placed in the vaults of the Treasury, but I
uuderstand that Jolm Jones says he never
saw, received or accepted any such bonds
when ho outored upon tho duties of his office.
Be this as it may, it is certaiu that these
bonds which one party testifies were in
the Treasury and which Treasurer Jones
says ho never saw until they were presented
to him for payment, were presented at the
Treasury Department for payment and paid
by Treasurer Jones, who, observing no ir
regularity in them, paid and cancelled them
without hesitation. The friends of Treas
urer Jones c'aim that he will be acquitted of
all blame, except the charge of a careless
system in book-keeping. I understand that
ho is ready to turn over his papers, etc., to
his successor, who will soon be appointed.
Tho law allows him ten days in which to do
this. Dr. Bozeman will not accept the posi
tion, and thinks that no one connected with
the recent investigation should, as any one
so circumstanced will bring with him una
voidable prejudices.
Opium Dreams. —ln response to a com
munication addressed to the Committee
of Health and Police by the Mayor in
relation to opium-smoking dens, that
committee made a report to the Board of
Supervisors on Monday night which is
calculated to startle the community.
The committee say there are eight of
these opium-smoking establishments,
kept by Chinese, for the exclusive
use of white men and women,
which are patronized, not only by
the vicious and depraved, but by
young men and women of respect
able parentage. When the committee
speaks of young men and women of re
spectable parentage who visit these dens,
we infer that they allude to others than
those who have embraced vice as a prac
tice. It seems hardly credible, however,
that young women with claims of re
spectability should resort to such places.
The conclusion of the committee is emi
nently correct. Unless this most danger
ous species of dissipation can be stopped
in its inception, there is danger that it
will become one of the prevalent vices of
the city. An ordinance was reported
making it a misdemeanor to contribute in
any way to the support of places where
opium is smoked. — San Francisco Chron

The Suit Against James Watson
Webb. —When James Watson Webb was
Minister to Brazil he received £14,000
from the Brazilian Government on ac
count of a claim which the United States
bad against it for the illegal condemna
tion of a ship. Mr. Webb turned over
to the Treasury only £9,000, and ex
plained that he had paid the rest, £5,000,
to certain influential Brazilians in order
to secure the collection of the claim,
This government brought suit in tbe
United States District Court to recover
from Mr. Webb the £5,000. United
States District Attorney Bliss filed inter*
rogatories for Mr. Webb to answer, and
among them was the following ; “What
are the names of the influential Brazilians
to yhorn, as you say, you paid the
£5,000?” Mr. Webb neglected to an
swer this question, and Mr. Bliss applied
to Judge Blatchford for an order requir
ing him to answer it, or show cause why
he should not be committed for contempt
of court. Judge Blatchford granted this,
and yesterday the time for complying
with it was fixed for December 14. In
the event of a refusal to answer, Mr.
Webb is to show cause on December 13
why he should not,be committed for con
tempt.— JV. T. Tribune, 24 th.

to a string run along outside the coach,
was towed to No. 2, who stuck the check
in his hat. The conductor passed it, and
instantly it went kiting to No. 3, and
quickly appeared over his os-frontis. At
the end of the trip No. 1 gave up his

No. 3 had lost his hat, and the d—d

IN BE UNION.
With the issue of December Ist, Mr.
H. K. Sawyer will put a final period to
his editorial connection with the Tri-
Weekly Union. His ostensible successor
in the conduct of that journal will be
Charles H. Walton, of Stearns no
toriety, but the de facto editor
and power behind the stool will
be Edward M. Cheney In the retirement
of Mr. Sawyer the Union loses an able
and forcible writer, an honest, unosten
tatious, conscientious gentleman of wide
research and an abundance of solid com
mon sense, and an anomaly in Southern
politics—a Republican who is not be
smeared with the dregs of Radical
iniquity. His earnest and persistent ad
vocacy of what he believed to be right
and just, has extorted the admiration even
of his political opponents, and he is an ex
emplary gentleman in the full meaning
of the term. He retires from this
journal—the child of his intellectual
loins—with the best wishes of
a major portion of our citizens. The
Union will hereafter be of the Tallahassee
Sentinel and Femandina Observer variety,
and its principles will loudly stink in the
nostrils of humanity. It is rumored that
the paper will become a daily at an early
date, but to inexperienced parties, dailies
are dangerous and expensive affairs.
RICHARD ANDERSON, CONSTABLE.
On the fifteenth of August last, one
Lloyd Brown, negro, being in a sportive
and oblivious humor, embraced his
consort with the niggers popular
instrument of destruction, a keen-edged
razor, and severed her jugular vein after
such an artistic fashion that she died
immediately. (Y-iuwill not fail to notice
the circumlocution which I assume in
order to avoid designating this disturb
ance as murder.) After an exciting and
interesting chase for the fugitive
Brown, who, it is unnecessary to
say, had suddenly found business
abroad, be was captured at Bald
win, having almost succeeded in effecting
his escape; and, in fact, the authorities
had beeu deluded into looking for him in
another direction by one Richard Ander
son, a cantankerous negro constable,
who had secreted the murderer for over
twenty-four hours in his own domicile.
Anderson was apprehended on August 20,
charged with being accessory after the
fact, and held in bonds of one
thousand dollars to answer before this
term of the Circuit Court. The
law (Bush 6, 259) is explicit as regards
this offence. Lloyd Brown was convicted
during the week of murder in the first
degree, but his sentence has not yet
beeu pronounced by the automaton
Archibald. Nothing Las been yet heard
of the case against Richard Anderson,
and as he is a good and worthy Radical
his preliminary examination will proba
bly be the last of the matter. Unless
you are fully aware of the splendor and
convenience of having everything in your
own fingers you will fail to appreciate
how this could well escape the attention
of the court. The mercenary justice of
the peace merely has the prisoner bailed
for the purpose of hoodwinking the pub
lic, and naturally if the culprit be a nig
ger or a Radical—synonymous terms —
pockets the papers in the case and
they never reach the grand inquest. The
public memory is proverbially treacher
ous, and in the interim that dis
tinguished entity forgets all about it.
Sometimes the Clerk of the Court pur
loins the documents, at other times the
State Solicitor. Either Mr. Coan, Higgins
or Uncle Tad are culpable in this matter
if Richard Anderson is not made to suffer
the full penalty of the law, and it be
hooves those stipendiaries of the com
monwealth to place the blame where it
properly belongs.
AM tumlies wanderings.
The black element in this benighted
quarter of the globe are fertile in inge
nious inventions and shifts for gaining a
precarious livelihood, at the expense of
disinterested parties. A smooth-faced
tar-baby, intent on pilfering, arrayed
himself in a female garb, with furbelow,
pin-back, bustle, etc., and commenced a
systematic journey of conquest among
the dusky damsels of our suburban
shanties. This slippery youth flour
ishes under the euphonious 'Cogno
men of Sam Tumlies, and his mode of
procedure was to call at some rookeries
in the outskirts of the city, insinuate
himself by a pitiful tale of woe into the
affections of the occupants, and at the
first opportunity decamp wRh whatever
articles he could find within his grasp.
He had been carrying on his depredations
successfully for some three weeks, when
it was his misfortune to exhibit acci
dentally a seven by nine foot, which
caused one of his intended victims to
penetrate his disguise and sound the loud
alarm. The negroes have adopted a
curious sort of punishment for this de
ceiver, and without invoking the majesty
of the law, have kept the lively Sam con
fined during the day on one meal, only
to form a ring around him every night,
and make him walk around with his
woman’s attire on. One darkey is created
musician, and while the sorrowful Sam
is compelled to dance to the inspiriting
tune of a Jews’ harp, the whole neigh
borhood of contrabands are ranged around
hooting and jeering and relishing the
discomfiture of their prey after the most
intense and enlivening manner. How
long poor Sam will remain in durance it
is impossible to predict, but it is safe to
say that when released he will confine his
operations to people of the other hue.

SIDEWALKS.
The rotten planks which intersect the
streets, and not unfrequently dissect the
toes of pedestrians, have been for time
immemorial elaborately festooned with
ordure and other filth, but are slowly
giving way to a better style of pavements.
The authorities are waking up to the
necessity of keeping the city cleaner,
and perhaps when the ordinances relating
to cattle shall have been rigidly en
forced, it will be a glorious sight
to see. But an enormous amount of
patience is essential, and an illimitable
faith in corporations vitally necessary.

The light of the north was visible’here
on Thursday night. It was a singularly
brilliant spectacle, and presented an ap

hour.
JEWISH SUNDAY SCHOOL.
The Israelites of this city have re
cently completed the organization of a
Sabbath School of their order, and
commenced with an attendance of
twenty-four scholars under the super
vision of a principal and four young lady
teachers. They are piogressing favor

regular Christian day of rest.
ILLNESS OF HOLSTED H. HOEG.
Mr. Hoeg lies dangerously ill at his
residence opposite Jacksonville, with one
side paralyzed and his reason shattered.
His condition is extremely critical, and
fears are entertained that a few days will
terminate his mortal career. He is one
of our large property holders.
PROMINENT ARRIVALS.
Ex-Treasurer Spinner, of the First
National Bank of this city, is in town,
and will probably sojourn here until
spring,
Hon. Reuben E. Fenton, of New York,
is a guest at the St. James’ Hotel.
Major E. G. Dike, formerly of Savan
nah, was here on Wednesday with the
yacht Raritania. He has been metamor
phosed into the manager of St. John’s
Hotel at Palatka for the forthcoming
season.
INCREASE IN NUMBER OF VISITORS.
The trains for the past few days have
arrived crowedd with human freight to
their utmost capacity, and the steamers
plying between this port and Savannah
we bringing their quota promptly. The
86480,1 may be considered as fairly in
augurated.
THEATRICAL.
We are to have a Stationary Variety
Combination within a few days, under
the management of a Mr. Ward, of
Paterson. N. J., at National Hall, which
has been rechristened the “Jacksonville

THE CAVE OF THE WINDS.
Washington, November 26.
The Capitol is being put in order for
the advent of its occupants, and clean
ing, etc., is going on vigorously. On the
Senate side numerous additions to the
frescoing has been made by a Dutch
artist, and as most of these daubs are in
the illy-lighted lower passages, they have
considerable of the Rembrandt about
them. The signs of the Zodiac, almost a
copy from Josh Billings’ Almanac, have
been painted at the north entrance, and
appropriate daubs over the doors of the
various Senate committee rooms. The
Capitol grounds are in fair condition to
take the Congressional eye. Gorgeous
lamps, with Tennessee marble pe-
destals and brass posts, cast
in beautiful designs, are profusely scat
tered around, and two large fountains so
arranged that scores of rainbows will be
at all times visible in daylight, are erect
ed opposite the east front. These foun
tains have also apparatus by which they
are illuminated from below at night time,
making a regular sea of enchantment or
Black Crook scene around the Legislative
Halls. The Solons will be called upon to
appropriate $500,000 to complete all
these gewgaws, and make us the laugh
ing stock of Europeans. Babcock must
be killed, or the Capitol removed before
any more tom-foolery of this kind is al
lowed, and the $500,000 can be put to
some better use than enriching the Wash
ington ring. The expense of placing the
Capitol grounds has already amounted to
over a million, which amount would go a
long way towards paying for Southern
property plundered during the war.
UNITED STATES BUILDINGS.
The supervising architect of the Trea
sury has prepared his annual report, of
which the following are abstracts: At
Atlanta, Ga., United States Post Office,
etc.; amount appropriated, $160,000; ex
pended to September Ist, $2,018 ; bal
ance available, $157,982. The excavation
is nearly completed, and contract for
material for concrete awarded. At St.
Augustine, Fla., extensive repairs have
been made on the buildings during the
year. No further appropriation asked
for. At Charleston, S. C., Custom House,
etc. The stone work is completed, and
contracts have been entered into for the
iron work. The building will be ready
for occupancy the beginning of next year.
Amount appropriated $698,915 43 ; ex
pended to September Ist, $510,791 17 ;
balance available sufficient to meet all
expenses, $188,129 26. At Columbia, S.
C., building completed, etc. The $5,000
to secure additional site expended for
said purpose. At Charlotte, N. C.,
the branch mint building is to be sold.
At Raleigh, N. C., the building will
be completed by the end of the next fis
cal year. Amount appropriated, $250,-
000 ; expended to September 1, $131,265;
balance available, $118,735. At Nash
ville, Tennessee, the excavation has to be
made in the solid rock and the work is
slow. Only $4,077 has been expended
out of the $150,000 appropriated. At
New Orleans the work of modification
of the Custom House,etp., goes on in the
part to be occupied by the United States
Court and Assistant Treasury. Amount
appropriated for modifie-tion, SOII,OOO,
expended, $834,657; balance available,
$76,343. Immense sums are annually
appropriated for the erection of United
States buildings in small as well as large
cities of the North, but the South seems
to be greatly neglected in this particular.
In the report of the Architect for
1874 he recommends very urgently an ap
propriation for extending and remodeling
the Custom House at Pensacola, but no
thing is said of it in this year’s report. One
singular fact connected with these public
buildings is that the New York Post Office
has cost nearly as much as the Treasury
Department building here. The former
cost $6,246,266 51 and the latter $6,501,-
500 20. There must be a lively ring in
New York outside of the Tweedites. The
total cost of United States buildings in
New York is $9,825,618 26, and in Phila
delphia $2,332,306 77. In the latter city
$930,000 has been paid for the site of the
new court bouse and post office, and
about $4,000,000 will be consumed in
their completion. A, B. Mullet, the ex
supervising architect of the Treasury,
has opened a building on Fifteenth street,
“consulting architect,” etc. It is be
lieved that his nest is well feathered, and
that he can flood over several hard win
ters on the presents, etc., received from
contractors.
HOME AGAIN.
The Hon. Egbert C. Sammis, Consul
at Stuttgard, having had a falling out
with the young King of Wirtemberg,
who is opposed to Die Schwartz, packed
his valise, and returning, has appeared
here to have a final settlement with old
Cod Fish, preparatory to returning to
Florida to open a law shop on the Euro
pean plan. This leaves our great repub
lic with but one representative de Afrique
in Europe—a son of a b-arber named
H. O. Waggoner, who gave Elihu B.
Washburne such clean shaves in Chicago
that he appointed Henry Consular Clerk
at Lyons upon his assuming the dignity
of Minister, etc., to France. Speaking
of the great Washburne, reminds me of
the fact that Morton’s cousin, Hitt, is
now Washburne’s Secretary of Legation,
and a chum of Morton’s, Bridgeland, is
ensconsed in the fat Consulate of Havre.
THE LATE TICE PBESIDENT.
The remains of the deceased Vice-
President, Henry Wilson, or Colbaith, are
lying in state in the Rotunda of the Cap
itol, and the papers are filled with obit
uary notices and circumstances attending
his death. While the administration or
gans are trying to show that all was pleas
ant between Grant and Wilson, every one
here knows better. The President has
given the Vice- President the cold shoul
der all along, and, on one occasion, re
fused to see him at the White House upon
the excuse that he was “ too busy.” It is
true that Grant called at the Capitol once
during his sickness, but this was more to
escape attacks like those made upon him
for his inhumanity at the time of the
death of his faithful Adjutant General
Rawlins. What a similarity of circum
stances attended the latter days and death
of Sumner and Wilson ! Each had but
few friends; neither had a single loving
hand to smooth his dying pillow. One
died attended by two colored men, one
the proprietor of a restaurant near; and
the other died attended by two Capitol
police. They were the leading Abolition-
ists of the country, both Senators from
Massachusetts, and both died in the Capi
tol of the nation. The death of Senator
Ferry happening also on the 21st has
caused quite an
EXCITEMENT
in political circles. Morton, Conkling
and Logan, and other Radical leaders,
are expected here to-morrow. Their
programme has been changed materially.
A Democratic Senator pro tern, will be
appointed m Ferry’s place, and the Senate
will then stand: Republicans 36, Demo
crats 33, Independents 4 (Alcorn, Robert
son, Hamilton and Edmunds). The three
first named are Southern meD, and it is
believed will act with the Demo
crats in most measures, and Ed
munds has so many private and
personal grievances against the admin
istration and the Republican ring
leaders that his vote will be generally
cast against them. This will make mat
ters lively in this Congress, as it leads
the Radical mind with trouble and fore
boding. If the Pinchback matter is
settled at all it will probably be by re
fusing him his seat, and that will add
another Democratic Senator to the list.
Pinchback will rake in $20,000 of back
pay if he is recognized, and will be able
to increase the capital stock of his bank
(faro) considerably.
LAYING ABOUND.
Buell, who is charged with libeling j
Chandler in the St. Louis liepublican, is I
here under bond for trial. He don’t
seem agitated, but reads Don Piatt's at
tack on the War Senator with gusto.
George Alfred Townsend has settled
down to write at SIOO a letter, and feels
outraged at receiving such paltry com
pensation. It is wortb that sum to read
his Tiltonian trash Nordhoff has taken
charge of the New l'ork Herald office,
and Cliff Worden has opened elegant
rooms for the Pottsville Herald during
the season, where he will sell his father's
life of Chase to the admirers of the de
funct jurist. The Chicago Post sends
Ingereoll to represent it. He is a great
lobbyist, and sports a swallow-tail coat,
a terrier pup, and a gold-headed cane.
IN TOWN.
Spinner, the old treasury watch-dog, has
been here smiling over his defeat in New
York. He goes to Florida for the winter.
If he had been there last year he could
have learned something from Stearns,
Dennis A Cos., in the way of manipula
ting finances that would have been a
bonanza to him. Milksop Ames is in
town and hob-nobs with Patterson con
siderably. Pat is posting him how to
run things ala South Carolina, but Ames
depends on Butler, who is not only fath
er-in-law, but mother-in-law to the Gov
ernor of Mississippi. Ingalls, of Kansas,
a long Senator, with weazened visage
and glasses, has come in and located in
cheap lodgings. Ex-Senator Fenton has
been sojourning here, but has started to
Florida. Pity Bijah Gilbert ''an’t be
there to welcome him and turn out the
band. Hon. Fernando Wood and a long
string of New Yorkers, including Pat
Jones, late Postmaster, and now City
Auditor of Ne w York, are in town.
NAVAL AFFAIRS.
Just before each session of Congress
the rotund Robeson has the New York
and other papers filled with incorrect
comparisons between our navy and that
of foreign powers. It is always shown
that Spain could obliterate us from the
ocean in no time, and that Hawaii would
even make it hot for our tars. This cry
is raised for the purpose of loosening
Congress on appropriations, and putting
additional subsidiaries on duty in the
Northern navy yards, as also-—the latest
dodge—giving out contracts for building
additional vessels. The naval register
shows that we have the following vessels:
Fifty-eight first, second and third rates;
fifty-eignt vessels (fifty-seven screw and
one paddle), carrying 833 guns and of
86,859 tons capacity; seven third rates
(screw) building, four wooden and three
iron, for 42 guns and a capacity of 4,083
tons. There is also the Michigan, paddle,
8 guns, 450 tons, on the lakes; six fourth
rates, 21 guns, 3,183 tons; seven iron
clads of 18 guns, and twenty-two iron
clads—which could soon be made avail
able, of 81 guns and 27,801 tons. There
are twenty-six wooden sailing vessels, of
which number six, carrying 40 guns,
could be used at once. So you
see that we have, including
the*iron-clads, ready to go into commis
sion, a very decent navy; and if Mr. Rob
eson can’t keep it up on appropriations
of nearly twenty-five millions per annum,
be ought to pack his cigar-box and take
free passage on the Dispatch for the Jer
sey sands—where he will go, to a cer
tainty, after March 4th, 1877. A war
with Spain, or some other nation, is
wanted to stop investigation. Robeson
himself needs it badly, and the Navy
Department is rotten to the core under
his management. The piles of useless
ordnance in the navy yards, and the large
expenditures for contingencies, show some
thing, while “Porter’s Folly,” or, the
torpedo boat “alarm,” as it is called, will
need looking after.
SALATHIEL.
A wanderer from the Gulf, one Colonel
Moses Amis, has turned up here, and is
about to publish a book of his adventures
in Florida, Georgia and North Carolina.
He bivouacked with McLin, bilked with
Sam. Bard and bunked with Holden. His
last editorial attempt was on the Char
lotte (N. C.) Age, from which sheet he
rotated to this village in the expectation
of reaping the reward of his services in
the Radical cause. He has a boarding
house directory in his bills, and a brass
foundry in his phiz. He tells a woeful
story of Florida politics, and says Talla
hassee is lonesome since the days of
Mundy, although JHc. gets up a circus
sometimes.
A TENNESSEE EIGHT.
A fierce engagement is raging between
the carpet-baggers and scallawags of Mid
dle Tennessee over the Federal offices.
The latter hold the offices and the former
are trying to oust them. These ex-Fed
eral Colonels, O’Rourke, Jones and Gal
braith, have been pushing for the Col
lectorship, the Marshal’s position and the
Pension Agency, and have been backed
up pretty heavily. But the present Col
lector, Cliff, is backed by Brownlow,
whose son Jim married his daughter, and
John Brownlow has been here acting for
the parson in preventing any change.
The carpet-baggers sigh for Maynard
again as their hope, and say that Jakey
Thornburgh, the Republican member for
that State is no account. So the would
be officials will have to jump their board
bills and return home.
ODDS AND ENDS.
Senator Gordon, it is understood, has
rented a residence for the season, in
Georgetown, D. C. His sons are here,
Frank attefiding the Columbia College,
and Hugh at the Law School,
Hon. J. H. Blount has arrived and
taken up quarters at the Metropolitan.
J. L. Conley has been appointed Col
lector of the Fourth Georgia District.
A good deal of talk is made over the
hasty post mortem of the Vice President.
It is said that he was hardly cold before
his cranium was opened.

Wliat a Farmer Found on His Kitchen
Floor.
[From the Allentown (fa.) Chronicle, Nov. 20.]
Mrs. Joseph Schneck, sixty-two years
old, was the wife of a wealthy farmer
living near Hollenbach’s mill, in Lowhill
township. The husband was away from
home all day yesterday, and did not reach
his house until dark. He got out of his
wagon and, approaching the house,
called his wife by name, but, receiving
no response, he went to the barn and
there he hid his pocketbook, containing
a large amount of money, in some straw.
Next he went back to the house and
opened the kitchen door, groped his way
carefully inside and came upon some
thing lying on the floor, over which he
nearly stumbled. Reaching down he
caught hold of a cold hand, and, his
fears overcoming him, he ran out of the
house to the home of his neigh
bor, Peter Schmick. Schmick collected
a company of neighbors and the party
proceeded with lights to Mr. Schneck’s
home. When the light from a lantern
was thrown into the kitchen it revealed a
scene of blood and death most horrible
to behold. On the floor lay the body of
Mrs. Schneck, near a churn, at which,
from the condition of its contents, it is
supposed she had been at work when the
murderer first struck her; the ghastly
face was upturned, the floor of the room
was sprinkled with blood nearly to the
four walls, and the blood lay in thick
pools near the head, from which it is
thought the murderer struck her several
times after she was first knocked down.
This mysterious murder must have been
committed before dark, for the body was
cold. A bloody axe was found under the
porch. The motive was undoubtedly
robbery, although the murderer did not
obtain more than three or four dollars.

SAVASNAH MARKET.
WIISI T REPORT.
OFFICE OF THE MOKSISO NEWS.)
Savannah, November 30. 1875. )
General Rekarks.—Trade for the past week
has been unusually quiet, and the business of
jobbers has been confined almost exclusively to
filling orders from the interior. Merchants say
they do not anticipate any trade of importance
until next week, when buyers will enter the mar
ket for the purpose of making their holiday pur
chases, of which there is an abundant supply,and
the best selected stocks that have been in the
market for some years.
The feeling of confidence which has prevailed,
concerning the condition of trade in the interior,
has to a certain extent been shaken by the num
ber of failures through the country, and still
greater caution will probably be exercised In the
future by sellers. Tfiis state of business has not,
however, been confined to the interior merchant *,
but seems to prevail throughout the country,
and is caused by the stringency in the money
market and the general lack of trade. How long
It will last no one can tell, but it is to be hoped,
and many express the opinion, that it will revive
in the course of a few months.
There have been but few changes of import
ance in the market during the week, nearly all
classes of merchandise being reported quiet and
unchanged.
Cotton.— The market for spot cottons during
the week has been dull and irregular, and prices
since our last report have declined >*c. Holders
have fought hard to keep prices up, but the pre
vailing weakness in controlling markets, and
the indisposition on the part of buyers to pay
quoted prices, have forced them to accede to the
decline. W ednesday the market was dull, and
declined >c. Thursday was generally observed
as a holiday, and nothing was done. Friday the
market was easier, but not quotably lower. Satur
day a slightly better feeling was manifested
and the market was more steady. Monday
it was quiet and but little was done.
To-day it was dull and declined fee. The daily
resumes of the market for the week, to be fonnd
below, will show its true condition since our last
report. We note a dull market at, for

Sea Island. —The good demand noted in our
last report has been continued this week, and has
been more generally met, as parties purchasing
for Northern mills have paid higher than the reg
ular buyers were willing to give. The sales for

were for Northern account. Prices have been
well maintained, and sales have been made at

Rice.—The market for this grain the past
week has been a quiet one, with rather limited
transactions in clean, the sales being only about
300 casks. In rough the transactions have been
large. Buyers in many instances demanded a
concession, but holders invariably refused to
yield, hence full prices have been paid. The re
ceipts for the week have been 47,000 bushels, aid
the exports for the same time have been 3L6
casks clean, moving as follows: To New York,
156 casks; to Philadelphia, 160 casks. We quote:

ALL AN’S
LONE STAR BALLADS.
A COLLECTION OF
SOUTHERN PATRIOTIC SONGS,
Written During Confederate Times.
IN THIS volume an endeavor has been made to
bring together, before they should be forever
lost, the soul-stirring songs sang over camp fires
and on the march, with which weary hours were
beguiled, and to the manly cadence of which
weary feet kept step. They will tend to revive
old memories and call back in all their fascinat
ing fierceness and drollery those times when
souls were nerved to deeds of heroism. Offered
to the kind regards of all who may think worthy
of consideration and preservation the “Life-of
the-Camp Ballads,” so often sung by themselves
and those companious-in-arms who nave “fought
their last battle” and “passed over the river”
forever.
This hook is printed from clear type, on beau
tiful thick white paper, and substantially bound
in embossed cloth—illuminated cover—2oo pages.
