Macon Ladles at tlic Fair.
We publish with unqualified pleasure
the following communication, which doee
but simple juatine to the skill and indus
try of one of Macon's fairest and most
popular daughters. The writer has ex
amined the collection of household deli
caciee referred to, and can add his own
testimony to every word which our cor
respondent has uttered. They are in
deed beautiful, and os proud a trophy
a« any gold medal ever won at a cui
lege nommcnceuMuat. The cultivation o,
the mind is of course of the hut impui t-
ance, and may not and cannot Le neg*
leea»d *n the training of our u«ughters.
Jut how often r!c* we aee* girls who bear
away the honors and prises cf their oLe
mater utterly wanting in the comm one t
requisites to com fort and happiness
domestic life. They cannot fashion a
loaf of bread, hardly know beef from
mutton, would be puxxled if asked to
carve a chicken, and almost equal t
ignorance of the worthy of old, w.
could not lor the life of him oomprohend
•am the apples got into the dump hug
Tnese ooanning and cultivated ladies
dout>r -as, are as ignorant of practical
matt.*.* as the lately French Queen M »•
rie Antoinette, who, when the mob were
thundering at the. gates of theTaiilerie ,
blandly a»ked wltat they wanted. The
reply was. ’The people are clamoring on
the bread question." "On the bread
question?" quotli her royal highness,
"why, wuat is the trouble? If they want
cske let them have it.”
Now, however touch a young husband
may admire his hmuteou* br.de. and re
joice in her wit and oollege renown, when
they subside into their little parlor at
home, and the rods J*#k like mud heaps,
the ooffee, dish-water, an i the steak is a
cinder, then he begins to realize that
something more is wanting. He would
then gladly sacrifice a little of madamo's
French for honest English cookery, an 1
sighs over the defective female education
of the day. Heme, Mrs. Bacon's exam
ple should indeed be followed by all of
the fair daughter* of Georgia.
But, in this connection, the achieve
ment* of the other ladies who sent con
tributions to the Fair should not be ig
nored. Scores of them have distinguished
themselves by the number and excellence
of the articles they havo fabricated. Not
having by us their names, we can only at
present cite one instance. Mrs. W. An
derson, also of Bihb county, has a display
of jellies, preserv es, pickles and canned
fruit on the ground, which would make
the fortune of a confectioner. Some of
them are transparently beautiful, and ma-
' tore is preserved to the letter in every
particular. The preserves and pickles as -
peciallj come under this head. Too
, taste, too, with which they are bottled
and arranged is exquisite, and fortunately
an odirfi ruble light lends increased lu^tr
io her department. Wo cannot now re
call the number <f the specimens Mrv.
Anderson has on exhibition, but it is cer
loinly astoniahingly large.
Since penning tie above we learn that
Mrs. Willie G. White has actually 31b
varieties of sweet meats, pickles, etc., at
tho exhibition, and from a sample whicl.
found its way int > this office, it would K
difficult for any oae to excell them. Mrs.
Gresham’s contributions too, are repre
sented to be very fine. Doubtless then*
are many others which we cannot now
recall, deserving of commendation.
Too much praise cannot be accorded to
these noble ladies for their magnifioent
contributions to our State Exposition.
Macon, Ga.. November 1, 1873.
Editor* Telegraph and Messenger: As u
lover of the homes and penates of our dost
old State, and a special admirer of her
noble women, who (God bless them) arr
the true exponents of female loveliness
and duty, permit a looker-on to burden
your columns with a word or two con
cerning the handiwork of one of them. 1
allude to the luagaificcnt display of pre
serves, pickles, canned fruits and comfit-
prepared by Mrs. A. O. Bacon for the
llibo county portion of the exposition.
Tnat gentle lady, as accomplished ii.
household matters as she is in music ant.
xn--iil.il cultivation, has actually in posi
tion and tastily arranged at the Fair,
three hundred and fortg packages of deli
csoies of the above description.
Many of these are exquisitely beauti
tub and I doubt not eat as well as they
look. As on exai lple worthy of imitatioi
by all the (laughters and wives of Geor
gia, surely the public should be informed
ot this praiseworthy and excellent feat o.
one of oar sna»t refined and highborn
ladies. Respectfully, J. A. M.
Captain T. G. Holt.
This gentleman again bean away the
prise of $bOO offered for the best five
boles of cotton. Lost year he did the
same at Louisville, and indeed has neve:
failed to take every premium for which
he has ever contended.
Intelligent, and well posted as to
theory* he is equally expert in practica:
performance and may be considered one
of the most su*N*essfiil planter* and use
ful men of tho State. Our readers, of
course, are aware that Captain Holt ha-
oocupied the arduous and responsible
position e(Gen<xaJ Superintendantof the
late Fair.
As such, his 'abort* for mouths have
Vvn untiring and most successful.
Mayer Huff and the city of Macon wer
fortunate in securing the service of Cap
tain Holt at t-’iis juncture, and right
nobly has he discharged his duty.
THE STATE FAIR.
The Executive Committee.
This body and their worthy chief. Presi
dent Colquitt, have been Tary diligent and
faithful in the performance of all their du
ties during the Fair. The fruits of thair la-
dor* wore observed in the admirable or- #
xier and method which were so marked in
•everv department of the exposition. Ever
.at their posts* every question that rose
-was at once dispx>ed of, and no confusion
whatever prerai'ed. The crowd, too, oon-

. One of the Disappointed.
"Occasional,” a correspondent of the
Augusta Constitutionalist, is a good deal
dhappointeJ about what he calls "the
Maoon Fair.” The show in all excey
poultry, is slim and poor, the crowd
small, and be could get nothing to
which probably accounts for his disap
pointment. Those of os who eat at home
or took a lunch, were able to see things
from a different standpoint. We all saw
fc was much the largest and most varied
and complete display which has ever been
made in Georgia—a display which filled
many large buildings—and covered
great space, and which no man could
well examine in less than three days. We
were all as agreeably surprised at its mag
nitude, as "Occasional” was at its men-
Jtrr,cu
Furthermore, we saw a very large crowd
of people every day—the first one only
excepted ; and the fact that the gate re
ceipts amounted to (our or five thousand
dollars a day, proved that what we saw
wa* there—because, as tickets run. that
amount would represent at least ten thou-
and dally visitors, including free passes
and half an 1 season tickets. But it may
be truly said tnat twice that number
would not make a crowd on those very ex
tensive grounds.
We are sorry the eorru pondent did not
go to the great Hij ;«odrome or Amphi-
ineatre. where he could have seen ten
thousand people at once all seated in one
great cirri 3. That was a fine sight—a
grand sight—and it would have satisfied
him that some few people were on the
{rounds, and the attendance was not as
dutx as he suppose*
But what can be viewed satisfactorily
on an empty stomach? Not even the
legion of bjautiful Georgia girls on the
groun .!* provoked a smile or a compli
ment from this saturnine "occasional, 1
with woat nature abhors—a vacuum—
beneath his waistband. We were about
to say he should have brought his sup
ply of provisions with him, but, truth to
tell, we have always found Augusta a
bad place for provisions, and this may
account for tho milk or want of milk in
the cocoanut. The man left Augusta
hungry and did not take time to fill up
after ho got here. We hope be remedied
this deficiency soon after writing this
letter, and the next one will be more
good naturod.
m Five Hollar Cliromos.
Our grave and reverend, but very
interesting contemporary—the New
York Observer—explains at length, in a
recent number, why he does not follow
the example of competing newspapers
md offer “ a chromo worth five dollars ”
as a premium to every subscriber who
pays throe dollars for his years* subscrip
tion. Some honest people will naturally
say it is because it cannot be afforded—
the man, if he does that kind of business,
will lose two dollars on every subscrip
tion be tokos.
So it would appear to the unsophistica
ted. But )t is not true at all, because the
Observer has received propositions from
leading picture printers to furnish any
number of thousand of "Chromo* worth
five dollar* each" at fifteen cents apiece—
with a guarantee that no copy shall be
sold outside the order "for less than Five
Dollars,” which, of course, upon the vio
lent hypothesis tlian any others are sold
at that price, would make the market
price five dollars.
Besides a natural objection to going
into the picture business and circulating
thousands of red and blue Match Girls.
Little Orphans and Weeping Marys, the
Observer abhors a small " frod ” on tho
public simplicity as much os the Arkan
sas lawyer did, and as everybody else
ought to do.
And so also of tho pewter spoons-
German silver cups, pinch back watcher,
tin music boxes, cheap sewing machines,
patent hand organs, apple-parers, Jews
harps, etc., etc., which editors put forth
to encourage a manly fortitude and for
bearance in their readers in bearing with
them yet one more year. If we set aside
the question of taste, there arises the
point of honesty and candor.
It is, at best, a practice borrowed from
tho gift concerts, dollar stores, and prize
saloons, where a man is urged to buy any
thing for twenty-five cents and get a
prize of a hundred dollars. Tho proposi
tion naturally implies sharp dealing,
and though if cunningly handled, may
possibly bring much gain, it has not yet
been able to secure the endorsement of
well established and respectable trades
men. It seems strange, then, that edi
tors, who should at least be men of intel
ligence, refinement and unquestionable
integrity, should catch up this old and
exploded custom of the dollar stores and
gift concert saloons.
TIio Difference - And a Shame
ful One, Too.
The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Post writes as follows concerning
the difference made between subordinate
and high government officials in the mat
ter of stopping their pay when absent
from duty. He says:
"Ladies have their pay deducted for
every day’s loss of time. One received a
telegram announcing her mother’s death.
She had the expense of the journey to and
from the funeral, and was docked six
days. And so this Administration that is
peripatetic, and votes an increase for its
members whenever it feels pinched for
money, does what was never before done
in the history of the Government, stop
the salaries of the underpaid clerks for
nickness and for death of relatives, there
by, instead of a reformatory civil service,
inculcating heartleseness and the neglect
of those ties of family that every nation
should endeavor to instill and foster. A
suffering child or mother must be neg
lected. or the supplies will be stopped
that give the poor harassed woman the
means to assist ihcia. If only secretaries
and heads of bureaus cot off their own
salaries for absences, their clerks would
not oomplain.”
Grant is absent from his poet fully one-
third his time, and instead of his pay be
ing docked for such absence it is doubled.
But the poor who get no increase of sal
ary, have their pay deducted if they hap
pen to be absent for a day, or ex m u few
hours. The highest officer in the Gov
ernment spends weeks and months at the
seashore, taking his pleasure as no Pres
ident ever dreamed of, and his salary is
the same aa if he devoted fircry
hour of his life to the public business.
Win Cabinet take tbeir recreations often
and long, and their salaries go on the
same as if they were hard at work. Heads
of Departments are in tho same category•
But the poor woman clerk who goes to
par the last rite to her dead mother finds
tier wagvs"docked" when pay day comes.
An Innocent Figlit.
In the gnat battle in Richmond, Indi
ana, last Tuesday, wherein a mob of sixty
men attacked a sheriff and his posse, wi..i
a six pound cannon and at least a hun
dred mu&ket shots with balled cartridge,
not a man was hurt- If men will fight,
this is the kind of fighting to do. There
is no need of tear* after it is orer.
THE GEORGIA PRESS.
The Gainesville Advertiser is crying
aloud for an operator for that place. It
says the wires and office hare been ready
for & month, but no operator has pat in
an appearance.
Tits same paper announces the pres
ence in Gainesville of Mr. Aaron Dowdy,
one of the oldest and most respected citi
zens of Lumpkin county, and perhaps the
ugliest man in America. He is said to
break every photograph instrument that
attempts his picture.
Waterman, of the LaGrange Reporter,
announces his departure for the Fair in
these pithy lines:
Dear Readers : We are absent—gone
to the State Fair in Macon. Our ab
sence will be our apology for any im
provement you may notice ia t b is week's

What Happened at a Griffin Tem
perance Msetixo.—The Griffin Star tells
tho following:
Toward tho close of the meeting, it
being about ten o'clock, some of the audi
ence became somewhat restive, and per
haps a few went out, when Dr. DeVotie
remarked, in his peculiar naive way, that
rhen this meeting closes all the groce-
28 will bo often." No more went out.
Before adjournment, a set of resolutions
were offered, which pledged the meeting
to total obstinence, and to use its entire
influence to put down the traffic in liquors
and their use in every way, except for
mechanical and medicinal purposes.
These were good resolutions, but what
was the horror of our reporter to see that
the ballot was to be taken by a rising
vote, and that noses were to be counted
by the Secretary. Several pillars of the
A Western paper describes a shocking
accident in this way: " A Kalanissnoo-
tcr. named Godfrey. pok**i himself into
the knuckle-joint of a shaft, which wound
him up at the rate of two hundred revo
lutions per minute. Being a snort man,
the execution rapid. w
church militant took occasion to slip out
of the house before the vote was taken.
Our reporter stood his ground and so did
a worthy member of the chuiteh sitting
in front of us, who takes his morning
dram regularly and for the stomach’s
6ake, but never gets disguised with
whisky. The church man did not get up,
Miftbar did our reporter. The two are
now fast friends, though public opinion is
against them.
Professor Broivn, of the State Uni
versity, suggests the welting of the gin
bond, if of gutta percha or india rubber,
when the atmosphere is very dry, as a
preventive against fire. He thinks igni
tion is often produced by the electricity
evolved from the band.
We find the following items in the
Hawkinsville Dispatch:
Serious Fire in Wilcox,—We regret
to learn of the serious misfortune that
befell Mr. Drury W. Reid, of Wilcox
county, on Friday night last. Mr. Reid
and family had retired at the usual hour,
but about midnight awoke to find the
kitchen on fire. It was connected with
the dwelling by a covered passage, and
in a few moments both buildings were in
flames. The family were so alarmed and
excited, and the "fire spread so rapidly,
that only one or two bods, two trunks and
a small chaira wore wqd, gyerythingelse
was destroyed, oven his uhddjun's wear
ing apparel. Some of them saved scarce
ly enough to protect them from the cold,
through the night. The smoke-house-
sugar-house and other Quillings were
also destroyed. The greatest calamity,
however, was the probable fatal burning
of one of Mr. Reid’s little sons, aged
about nine yean. The heroic little fel
low was endeavoring to save his bed. He
kept pulling at, trying to get it through
the door, until the flames had nearly en
veloped him. He gave up the bed, and
began crawling upon his knees from the
house. His night garment was
burnedoff his body and legs, and
the flesh burned to a crisp. He was
alive on Sunday morning, but was
delirous during the previous night,
and it is scarcely expected he will
survive^ The loss is Estimated at $4,000.
Haweinathle and Eupaula Rail
road.—We receive letters occasionally
from Drayton, and other ports of Dooly
county, asking information as to the pro
gress of the Hawkins ville and Eufaula
Railroad. The only facts we can give
our friends axe these: A. J. Lane A Co.
have a farce of hands numbering some
thirty or forty, still at work grading the
rood between Hawkins ville and Big
Creek. These hands are working on each
side of the old Traveller's Rest road,
where said road crosses the survey of the
Hawkinsville and Eufaula road. D. Lane
A Co. have suspended work, and their
hands are scattered about the country,
picking cotton and doing other labor for
the farmers.. D. Lane A Co., had a con
tract to grade a certain distance, and
after completing it they could obtain no
further contract, owing to the fact that
the route has not been definitely located
beyond Big Creek.
Kennedy, the missing Savannah man,
ia neither drowned nor murdered, nor has
he suicided. He has simply raised all
the stamps he could and levanted—at
least the Advertiser-Republican thinks so.
The Columbus Sun says, up to Thurs-
dar afternoon 257 tickets had been sold
at the office in that eity for Macon.
The Sun Also says, that Belcher, the
negro postmaster of this city, has ap
pointed another negro route agent be
tween Macon and Columbus, in the place
of Miller, who was killed last week.
The Columbus possum market was flat
Wt week—more sellers than buyers.

Molue Wars, the Columbus soiled
more than was good for her, dropped
dead last Wednesday.
Stay Laws.—The Gainesville Eag
has some very plain talk on this subject,
They are our sentiments exactly. Says
tL.- Ukirle :
The derangement of business, caused
by the late panic, has induced certain
persons in different parts of the country
to again raise their voices for a stay law.
They argue that the people are unable
pay their debts because cotton does not
command its value. We are opposed ■
any more stay laws. We are reaping now
a harvest of bankruptcy and ruin,
brought about by the suspension of laws
requiring men to meet their honest obli
gations at maturity. Stop the collection
of a debt against a man for a year, and
he wants it two years; stop it two years,
and he gets to thinking it ought to be
repudiated. We are willing to let by
gones be by-gones, but from this time
forward never want to see the collection
of honest debts suspended for one mo
ment. Fewer men have been known to
break and become bankrupted and ruined
by being required to meet their obliga
tions at maturity than there are on turn
ing loose the law after a suspension and
an accumulation of interest for five or
ten years. Stay laws only have the ef
fect to lure men into dishonest devices to
avoid honest obligations; they arc of no
benefit to the people, and we never want
to see our statute books disgraced with
another.
Here ia the way the average Grantite
of Troup county raises the wind the
tight time*. We quote from the La
Grange Reporter j
Last Saturday, an impecunious freed-
man while strolling about town, without
any money in his pocket, concocted a
brilliant scheme to "raise the wind.’’
He s&t down by a wagon whose owner
had left it to do some trading, and pretty
soon he saw another darkey sauntering
along whom he marked for his victim.
Look a here!” said he of the lean
purse, “ have you got twenty dollars
about you T* " S’pect I has,” said the
moneyed man, "but what o’ iat?”
" Why jest dis, if you’ll lend me dat
twenty dollars ’bout half an hour, Til
C i yer back twenty-one dollars, and I’ll
re my wagon wid yer forscurity.I got
a chance to make a speculation.” The
capitalist "degreed to this;” lent the
twenty dollars and took his seat on the
wagon: In a short time, the true owner
returned, and a fierce contention followed
errnng the ownership of the wagon
that had been pawned. It was finally
settled by the real owner by driving the
wagon off, and the money-lender went
his way, mourning for the speculator,
who has never returned.
Tiie French Monarchy.
The French papers say that the Count
of Chamberd has vindicated his family
reputation and secured his prospects for
the throne by writing a letter to M. de
Chesnelong, one of the delegation from
the party o.' the Right in the National
Assembly, who waited upon him to get
his political views. In this letter the
Count says misapprehensions have arisen
tending to obscure his policy, which is as
clear as day. He owes tho whole truth
to the country. He is asked to sacrifice
his honor. He emphatically declares he
retracts nothing, curtails nothing of his
previous declarations of yesterday for the
shadow of what would be exacted to-mor
row. He cannot inaugurate a strong reign
by an act of weakness. He energetically
refuses to relinquish the white flag. He
indignantly repels insinuations that he
mistrusts the valor of the .soldiers.
On the contrary, he seeks to confide
to them all he holds dear. He ignores
none of his country’s glories and contin
ues : " We have a great work to accom
plish, which I am ready to undertake at
any time. This is why I wish to remain
;ls I am. MYr.* I t-mVubl.'.l lo-day, I
would be powerless to-morrow. The issue
at stake is the reconstruction of society
and the insurance of law, order and pros
perity. Especially should we not fear to
employ force in the service of order and
justice. Conditions and guarantees arc
spoken of. Were any required by tho
Count of Paris, who came to mo sponta
neously, at the dictation of patriotism ?
I preserved intact our traditions and lib
erties and have the right to reckon on
equal confidence.”
The letter concludes as foPows: "My
personality is nothing; principle is eve
rything. France will s«*e an end to her
tiouoles when she understands this. I
am the necessary pilot, alone capable of
guiding her into port, because I have the
mission of authority. France cannot per
ish because Christ still loves her.”

A Paris dispatch of last Friday says:
A meeting of the Royalist Committee
was held to-day, at which M. M. DeCases,
D’ Audifrett, DeLancy and DeChesne-
long were present. A telegraphic dis-

agreed that the letter was fatal to the
hopes of the monorchia* coalition* Re
publicans are jubilant. A meeting of
deputies of the Left Centre was held
this evening, M. Leon Say presiding. A
resolution was adopted declaring that the
time had arrived for giving up a provis

republic.
Labor Distress in Philadelphia.—
A Philadelphia correspondent of the New
York Times states that the working class-
have been most seriously affected by
the results of the panic. In all the innu
merable mills, foundries, iron workshops
and manufa tones which exist in every
part of the city, there has been a general
relaxation of business, and the result is

DAY DISPATCHES.
Refuges for the Poor.
New York, November 1.—The com
missioners are preparing all unoccupied
city buildings for a refuge for the desti
tute during the ensuing winter.
The Beecher Scandal.
At a meeting of members of Plymouth
Church last evening, the examining com
mittee of the church made a report on
the case of Theodore Tilton, recommend
ing that his name be dropped from the
roll of membership. The report was
adopted. Tilton, who was present, de
nied that there was any authority for
expelling him, as he claimed not to have
been a member of the church for four
years. He, however, announced his
readiness to answer any "charges against
him.
Mr. Beecher said: I desire to say that
I don’t believe that Mr. Tilton has de
sired in any way to shirk his proper re
sponsibilities or to avoid or evade any
proper charges that might be made by
the church. He asks if I have any
charge to make against him. I have
none. Whatever differences have been
between us have been amicably adjusted,
and, so far as I am concerned, buried—
so far as he is concerned, buried. I have
charges. This whole matter has not
been with my consent. This whole mat
ter has been against my judgement.
The Threatened Strikes.
Builders say regarding the threatens
strike, that there is so little work it cun

peake and Ohio Railroad Company and
the Louisville, Cincinnati and Lexington
Railroad Company to recover on note for
$30,000 given by the Chesapeake and
Ohio RaUroad Company, and sold and

New York. The Farmer’s Bank then
sued oat an attachment aqd garnisheed

Railroad, which is largely indebted to the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad.
The Transportation Committee in St.
Louis.
St. Louis, November 1. The Senate
Transportation Committee gave a hear
ing yesterday. The upper Mississippi
rapids have been greatly improved, but
are much needed on the lower rapids. The
Missouri River is worthless. Tho rail
roads have secured the bulk of trade.

not; appear. The Committee dispersed to
meet in Washington November lotli,
whence they go to New Orleans to in

NIGHT DISPATCHES.
The Condition of the Spragues.
Providence, R. I., November 1.—An
adjourned meeting of bank representa
tives was held at noon to-day, when the
report of the committee appointed to ex
amine into the affairs of A. & W. Sprague
was presented. The committee say they
consider the assets of the A. & W.
Sprague Manufacturing Company to be
$19,495,427 and liabilities $11,475,413—
surplus $8,081,084. A detailed statement
1 tho property accompanies tho report.
The committee further say, to deter
mine whether the mortgage proposed
would be solid and free from objections
under the provisions of the bankrupt
act, they were compelled to ascertain
whether the amount of aid asked would
all reasonable probability be sufficient
tq enable the company to meet its ma
turing obligations in the .regular course
of business. The unsettled condition of
financial affairs, and of business at the
present time, and the large amount of
obligations of the company matur
ing during the next ninety days,
preclude the possibility of your
committee reporting that the sum
$,1000,000 would enable the com
pany tq meet itq engagements regu-
arly ip the future, and, as in the event of
failure to dq so, (h© solidity of the secu
rity might be questioned, vqur commit
tee, under advice Of counsel, are of opin
ion that the sum asked for cannot safely
be furnished. Upon coming to (his con
clusion your committee were requested
by the company to express their recom
mendation of the course to be taken, un
der the circumstances, to enable the com
pany to secure to its creditors the pay
ment of their claims, and to preserve,
as far aa possible, from shrinkage
of the vast available property in the hands
of the company. They therefore recom
mend that the A- & W. Sprague Manu
facturing Company and individuals com
prising that corporation mortgage all
their property to their trustees, who shall
practically have all control and manage
ment of their entire property; these
trustees to issue notes to an amount of
their pw«Qj>t t»<ieli ted ?><*«. ifhese
obligations having three years to
rnn and drawing semi-annual interest
at the rate of 7.3 per cent, per annum,
with the right reserved* to pay five per
cent, of the deltas often as in their judg
ment shall be practicable. It is believed
that all creditors will accept these evi
dences gf indebtedness; and if the trus
tees have the full authority asked for
them, they will be able to avert a great
calamity to thousands of operatives,
make the mill property valuable, prerent
immense further shrinkage of values,
and pay in full ti 1 © indebtedness of the
A & W. "Sprague Manufacturing Com
pany, together with that of all its depend
ing establishments—it being the duty of
the trustees to convert the property and
xiy the debts at as early a as possi-
jle; and it is not unlikely that the whole
indebtedness may be cancelled in much
less time than three years,
fgigpedj James y. Smith,

Committee.
Later.—A note wca read from the
counsel of Sprague's corporation an
nouncing that the trust deeds were be
ing male to Gov. Henry Howard, Rufus
Waterman, and ex-Gov. Jas. Y. Smith,
and that the deeds will be submitted to
the meeting of creditors, and if not ac
cepted the alternative would be to go
into bankruptcy. The feeling generally
prevails that the deeds * of trust will be
accepted,

quent upon rumors of the suspen
He said: We desire the public to know
everything. We do not wish to screen a
single fact. It is true, we are suffering a
little embarrassment by having allowed
some Accounts to mature ; but as regards
notes, they have all been promptly
met. We don’t sell our own paper,
but we do that of other houses with
our endorsement. Perhaps the principal
causes that have led to present embar
rassment is that we overstocked ourselves
in our endeavors to assist Hoyt, Sprague
A Co. 1 don’t care to say we purchased
of them to the amount of a million this
week, but we bought very heavily. We
are n*.w negotiating for assists.nee from
some of the hanks and other oorpora-
Ifsuc.i assistance is not obtained the
firm will ask for an extendon upon their
open accounts. Our notes will bo met at
maturity, t le current receipts being
ample for that purpose. A failure is
.simply impossible, our assets are so far
in excess of our liabilities.
H. B. Cladin A Co. notified the asso
ciated banks at their meeting to-day,
through one of its members, that they
were not in need of any assistance.
Currency Gain.
The banks have gained $4,000,000 cur
rency since yesterday. They now hold
$18,000,000. The lowest amount ever
held wa.s $582,000.
Horrible Outrages in Lonisiaua,
New Orleans, November 1 A letter
from ex-Judge Merrill, dated Colfax,
Grant ^Parish, October 29, says: “ In
haste, and with feelings of horror,
write to inform the public of the action
of the Metropolitan police sent hero by
Lt. Gov. Antoine during the absence of
Gov. Kellogg. On Saturday night laat
the house of a most respectable widow
lady on the river was fired into near this
place; the doors were broken open and
the un:ortunate lady and her daughter
of seventeen summers were taken out,
and, horrible to relate, violated. Neither
of the latlies could be found until late
Sunday afternoon. An infant eighteen
months old and grand-child of ex-Gov
ernor Wells, was found in the woods some
half a mile from the house, and near the
spot where the foul deed was perpetra
ted. The infant was a niece of the lady,
and a child of Mumford Wells, eldest son
of ex-Govemor Wells. The negroes up
here all say that it was the soldiers, and
we all believe if they were not the per
petrators, they instigated the negroes to
tho horrid deed of infamy.
It is said here that when Col. DoKline
was informed of the outrago he smiled,
and said his troops were up here for a
higher purpose than arresting men for
such petty offences. Antoine is believed
to have sent these creatures up here to
give the negroes a chance of revenge, and
one of them told thO writer that he ha 1
the right now, under the protection of the
United States, to shoot any white man l»e
wanted to shoot, and to violate any
woman he met. He said to him that
these were State troops, and not United
States troops, and he repeated that the
Colonel had said at a negro ball, the

2fe>r York Finances,
Nevv York, Novemhor 1.—Wall street
opened this morning in a panic, so far as
speculative shares are concerned the
lowest prices j| received for many years
having been reached. The street was
flooded with rumors of mercantile fail
ures, but these were not verified, and
when it became known that many of the
reports in reference to Claflin & Co.
were grossly exaggerated, and that firm
had informed the Associated Banks that
they needed no assistance from them,
there was a much better feeling all
round, and prices advanced more rapidly
than they had fallen. Tho great gains
by the bonks and the. comparatively
few defaults in November interest
also accounted for the improved
feeling at tho close. This evening the
feeling in financial circles was much im
proved. The fluctuations in stock were
rapid, and the transactions increased in
volume, notwithstanding the dullness of
Saturday afternoon.
The bankers of the Kansag apd pacific
railroad stated to-day that they have not
yet received {tfvy fimds to pay the Novem
ber interest, and did not know when any
would be forthcoming. The same was
said for iho Burlington and Cedar Rapids
railroad. At the office of tte hankers of
the St. Louis and South-Eastern railroad,
it was ascertained that the company
would not he ahle to pay off its interest
until next Monday, when, however, it
was proposed to do so without doubt.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad de
faulted in their interest to-day. Messrs.
Fisk & Hatch have issued a circular to
the bond-holders in explanation of their
position, and the company will make a
statement on Monday.
Nearly three hundred men are thrown
out of employment by the partial suspen
sion of the Planet Carpet Weaving Mills,
in South Brooklyn, to-day.
Inquiring of dry-goods dealers to-day
showed that their transactions are very
light. Dealers are not encouraged to
press business, and sales are confined to
the slight wants of current trade. The
failure of Hoyt, Sprague & Co. has had a
depressing (effect and, tb© rumors set
afloat abqut Cladin A Co. have sufficed to
bring the ury goods trade almost to a
stand still. On© dealer said to-day that
slaughtering was about the only thing
iw taking place. This dearth of trade,
is thought, will continue until it can
be definitely accertained that the difficul
ties will be overcome. In this event bus
iness will take a fresh start immediately.
On inquiry t©-dav at th‘ freight offices
of leading railroads, it was ascertained
that their freight business was suffering
severely from the financial disturbance,
and that in many cases railroad compa
nies were largely cutting down expenses
by the reduction of wages and the dis
charge of workmen,
A visit to the offices of the different
ocean steamship lines proved that the
export trade was never in a better condi
tion than it is at present. Almost all
the steamers leaving port to-day are
loaded to their utmost capacity, and
rates were never, as a general rule,
higher than now. The import trade has
fallen away to almost * nothing, and
steamers arriving here are often but half
full. This falling off is especially no
ticeable in the amount of djy goods im
ported. The above refers to the trade
with Europe. Trade between this city
and Havana has almost been killed by
the existing monetary stringency. The
people in Havana are buying nothing
but the merest necessaries of life. The
price of sugar in Havana is lower than
its actual value, and holders refuse to

The cotton market has been characterized by a
heavy decline. Early at the opening Monday’s
price* weakened, and continued to decline until
Wednesday, wl^n a slight reaction took plait*,
which has since been maintained, though salts
have been reported at figures a shade lower. The
spring demand has materially falleu off. and the
recent closing of some of the mills, in addition to
the failures* of some large firms,cannot but ra*ta?hl
trade from this source, ami-tend to depress tlie
market. The demand from the Continent has
been active and quiet. A large amount has been
u iDped. The ouly obstacle in the way to this
tlet is the limited supply for freight accommo
dations. Many <6 the urge shipping houses have
orders to execute, nut iu consequence of the diffi
culty in obtaining freight room their orders are
accordingly limited for forward delivery. Busi
ness has been active but at declining rates until
yesterday, when a better fecliug prevailed, and
activity was, in a measure, restored by the up
ward movement. The sales for tne week were
154,237 bales, of whieh 141,430 were on contract
