UsTiTOUmAxiOBATIOS STATISTICS.
—The hew York Herald estimates a
falling off of emigrants at that port for
the year at 122,000, compared with 1S73.
Estimstiag the immediate average gain
to the country of each emigrant at $150,
the loss to the country in the falling off
from 1S73 would amount to nearly
$20,000,000. This is, of course, exclusive
of the subsequent annual loss of labor
and its value in opening the resources of

tor Thurman presided. There was a
very free expression of opinion by all
those who were peesent, and it was de
termined hereafter that when any .ques
tions of importance arose those present
should have private consultations, so that
all could act in concert. It was stated
that the Democratic representation in
the next Senate would be thirty-one, and
It was time for that party to begin to as
sert its strength and its powsr as repre
senting the majority of the people. It
was also determined that hereafter the
Democratic Senators shonld have fre
quent and full conferences with ths Dem
ocratic members of tho House on all sub
jects of public policy and ih regard to
important legislation. The most happy
feeling prevailed, and all were assured
that there were no insuperable difficulties
in the way of harmonizing the party in
Congress on the issues which have some
what divided them of late.
Congressional Corruption.
It any body wants a lesson on the
moral and political consequences of apodal
Congressional legislation for tho benefit
of individuals and business speculations
ho can have it in the following testimony,
taken before tho Houso Committco on
Ways and Means last Friday, on the way
tho bill voting a subsidy of tbreo'millions
to tho Pacific Mail Steamship Company
was got through Congress. Wo will pre
mise that T. G. Johnson, secretary of the
company, had just been examined and he
testified that checks aggregating $750,000
had been drawn in favor of Irwin, who
was operating for the company in the
Washington lobbies :
Statement or A Former Vice-Pbesi
dent.—W. G. Bellows being sworn was
asked to state his relations with tho com'
pany at the timo of the subsidy. He
said he was Vice President and a direc
tor of tho company in Hay, 1872, and
continued as such until the following
May. Ho was Vico President pending
the application for a snbsidy. He con
firmed tho testimony of the secretary as
to tho drawing of the checks. He re
membered that thero were individual
checks of Stockwcll in Irwin’s hands,
and thought these checks were returned
be ford the others ware giveD. The pri
vate checks were for four or five hundred
thousand dollars, not all in one cfcpCE
They were sent to Irwin in Washington,
accompanied by a private letter. Irwin
replied to 6 lock well that ho had noli re
ceived tho amount ho expected according
to tho understanding.
Witness thought the amonntof thopri-
vate checks was four hundred thousand
dollars, and Irwin wanted fivo hundred
thousand. He- thought tho fifty thou
sand dollars drawn to Abort’s order cov
ered a part of tho money finally given to
Irwin; at tho timo Eldridge and Irwin
went out of tho- service of tjio company
as agents, the balance of the occount was
credited to their successors; thi3 was
dono that they might balance in tho
course of business and covered thqfive
hundred thousand dollars. Tho vouchers
covered sundry expenditures in Washing
ton, etc., witness did not know what these
expenditures were.
It is, of course, very easy to conjecture
what these checks were for—and it is
also very easy to conjecture tchy tho Vice
President and other officers-of tho com
pany did not know what they were for,
and did not intend to know what they
were for. It was a mammoth corruption
fund of over a half million dollars to bo
distributed with a nod and wink, and no
account kept—but always to bo placed
where it would do tho most good,” qnd
spent by the rule of "division and si
lence.” rjfl
Anothee Geangeb Mishap.—Tho Chi-
oago Times gives on account of tho fail
ure of a State Granger grain firm in that
city, caused by the alleged embezzlement
of its chief member, Who was oIeo pub
lisher of tho Prairie Farmer, through the
influence of which the firm’s appointment
would appear to havo been secured. Tho
disappearance of this partner, it is said,
leaves the firm bankrupt, and tho banker
of Chicago, os well as its customers in
tho interior, are out some $-10,000 or $50,-
000, so far as reported, and many more
creditors are expected to turn up, 03

A Juvenile Experiment in Hanging.—
A colored boy, named Kirby, twelve or
fourteen years of age,] Hying near Skip-
ton, in Talbot county, Maryland,-under
took, on Wednesday of last week, to
show a son of Hr. Mondey, four or fivo
years of age, “ how Earnest Smith was
hung at Easton,” placed him on a stool,
tied a rope, hitched to a spike in the
ceiling, around his neck, and then jerked
tho stool from under him. Finding that
tho boy did not die.^avs tho Easton
Ledger, ho stripped his clothes off and
beat him severely. The victim’s mother
entering at the time cut the child down,
and bo was restored to consciousness, but
owing to tho choking and beating he was
seriously ill on Monday last.
The New York Sun quotes a promi
nent Plymouth church man as declaring
that there will be no compromise of tho
Beecher-Tilton suits without a full and
complete retraction of all charges by
both Tilton and Moulton, and giving his
reason for his belief: " On Thursday last
I spent tho day and evening with Hr.
Beecher in his own house. I was there
not as committeeman, nor as on adviser,
bat simply os a friend. I dined with
him, and then at his own table, from his
own month, came ST most decided an
nouncement that thero would be in the
present cose no such word as compro
mise. Ho declared that he should insist
upon the fullest vindication which a court
of law could give mfin**’” 11,1 J
A Dentist Cutting his Wisdom
Teeth.—A man giving his name as An
son A. Clark called upon Dr. Samuel
Bridges, a dentist, Brooklyn, N. Y.,
Wednesday, and void that his wife wanted
a set of teeth. Ho wished to surprise
his wife, and would therefore pay the
doctor in advance, directing him to give
his wife a receipt in full when she called.
Clark showed Dr. Bridges two checks,
ono for $100 and tho other for $123, ask
ing him if he would gWe - the change.
Tho doctor gave a check for $73, and the
latter bado Mm good afternoon. A
short time afterward the dentist became
suspicious and went to tho hank. He
found that his check had been cashed
and that those of Clark were worth less.
ChArttlM—A YIsItt# the
Appleton Home, I ' - "" A
This is the season when tho heart of **«= from the Savannah Vmm that
the philanthropist is wont to warm to- I on Saturday afternoon about half past
... c -*i_ vr h$ IT
wards the poor and unfortunate with
more than ordinary ardor, and the im
pulse should 6 tenderly cherished and
cultivated.
God help those, especially the young,
who have neither money nor friend to
provide some eoueenir, or token of af
fection, or even a generous meal for the
Christmas festivities.
These thoughts are suggested by a
visit to the Orphan Asylum, founded tqr
the liberality of W. H. Appleton, the
present senior In the ancient firm of D.
Appleton A Co., book publishers. New
York.
It is the wish of the friends of the in
stitution and the Church to which it is
specially attached, to provide, in the
shape of a "Christmas tree,” some com
forts and contributions to the amusement
and enjoyment of the little inmates of
the "Home.” We are sure the appeal
will not be made in vain, and donations
sent, or handed to Ber. H. K. Rees, will
be properly applied.
At the invitation, and accompanied by
that big-souled Christian gentleman.
Dr. Charles H. Hall, who for years has
gratuitously treated and watched over
the medical condition of tho children, we
visited tho Asylum yesterday and listen
ed to tho sweet songs of praise which as
cended from the lips of these motherless
lambs, who had found refuge and shelter
in that hospitable abode.
A succinct history of tho foundation
may not be devoid of interest.
The Appleton Home, as stated, owes
its origin and existenco to the philan
thropist whose name it bears, and was
erected and went into operation in 1868.
Mr. Appleton at first donated fen thou
sand dollars in cash to that object, and has
since funded at much more in its behalf*
tho annual accruing interest, with such
subsidies as can be procured from other
sources, being appropriated to its support.
In addition, this nobio gentleman ha3
recently contributed $2,5C0 for the pur
pose of enlarging the original structure
by the erection of a wing three stories in
height, wMch will almost doublo tho ca
pacity of the building. This is rapidly
approaching completion.
Tho "Homo” is under the special care
and direction of the Bishop of this dio
cese, and at its inception Sister Marga
ret, of New Orleans, a member of the
Sisterhood of St. Catherine, was placed
in charge of it. Recently Miss Burt has
been appointed her assistant. This or
der, which is' simply a religious associa
tion, is net hound by any vows or conven
tual obligations, though the pious lady
wears a crucifix suspended from her gir-
die. ; :. ./ .

placid aspect. Would inspire Tthe confi
dence and respect of all who approached
her. IJor *i*yeors has she devoted every
energy and faculty of soul andbody to the
spiritpal and~temporal welfare of lierhelp-
loss charge,' Nor should it ever bo for
gotten that noi a cent of remuneration does
cither sho or her excellent assistant re
ceive. For such there is laid up a crown
of glory beyond the grave, far surpassing
tho imperial tiara of any earthly poten-
tato. _ , m
the inhates of the home
at present, number ivcehlytico girls, from
thp age of threeanda jialf to sixteen years.
All are Georgians save two, and the major
ity are the destitute orphans of Confeder
ate soldiers. In tho list is included one
HAPLESS FOUNDLING, ..
left at tho tender ago of three ireeks in the
doorway of tho Asylum, by its unnatural
parents. The little creature is now over
three years old, and has so entwined it
self about the heart of its saintly‘pro
tectress, that it will probably never he
allowed to leavo the sanctuary that re
ceived it.
Tho orphans are instructed from nino
to twelve o’clock every day, receiving a
good English education, while at the
same time they are thoroughly taught
eveiy description of domestic and house
hold work, such as cooking, washing,
scouring, sewing, etc.
Not a servant is attached to the Home,
the inmates waiting upon themselves and
doing their own work.
When about eighteen years of age, or
at tho discretion of tho Bishop, they go
into service in respectable families, or are
otherwise usefully and reputably em
ployed. TS-iDI vv (I
Of .the wholo number in the institution
five only are supported by their friends,
the remainder being strictly the subjects
of eleemosynary aid.
The total cost of maintenance for each
orphan, aside from clothing, does not ex
ceed
. ONI HUNDRED DOLLARS PEE ANNUM,
and $2,000 will cover the year’s expenses
of teachers and orphans.
Rev. H. K. Bees officiates as chaplain,
and is untiring in Ms efforts in behalf of
Ms interesting charge. Tho Bishop vis
its tho Homo very-frequently, and hopes
greatly to extend the capacity and sphere
of its usefulness.
Tho children are plainly but neatly
dressed, and when they go abroad wear
an appropriate and inexpensive uniform,
As before stated. Dr. Hall is the attend
ing physician, and wonderful to relate,
within the six years of its existence, not
tingle death or serious case of illness has
occurred at the Home. The Doctor face
tiously ascribes this to the fact that they
don’t take much medicine, and we doubt
not tho surmise is correct. “Throw
physic to the dogs” is an o’er safe rule.
In concluding this sketch of the Ap
pleton Home, we would again respect
fully urge all attached to the Episcopal
Church, and the charitable public gen
erally, to afd fiiihe grateful task of pro
viding an agreeable surprise for the poor
orphans on Christmas, in the shape of
viands, book3, and the usual contribu
tions of Santa Claus. You will never be
the poorer for what you bestow, and, oh,
the joy and happiness that will irradiate
the faces of the helpless recipients of
your bounty! “It is more blessed to
give than to receive,” and "the liberal
soul shall be made fat.”
Romance of a Poor Young Girl.—
Barnaul's hippodrome is constantly fur
nishing material for little romances, and
the latest is very touching. The New
York Erpress says -. “Last Thursday an
advertisement was published, sailing for
ballet girls for the Christmas pantomime.
Over a thousand young women applied,
and, as there were but three hundred
wanted, seven hundred were compelled
to go away disappointed. Among this
seven hundred was Mary McCann and a
companion, who bad come from Hudson
City, hoping to obtain employment. Sid
and disheartened they started for home,
and, while crossing the river, determined
to end all their troubles by leaping into
it. At the last moment, however, Kory’s
companion drew back, but the other
plunged boldly in. Fortunately there
were those near at hand who rescued her.
Barnum heard of the adwntnre, sent
emissaries to March tha gbk out, and
new they are both rehearsing In the hip-
podrome ballet. The reason given for
^t^er dL*tS ^’^3;
and I had rather starve than he had.’”
The Galaxt, for January, is received.
This magazine is about entering on its
tenth year. It was started with the full
intention of making it the foremost liter
ary magazine published. Perfectly inde
pendent with no set theories of politics,
religion, or sociology to propagate and
maintain, it freeiy and gladly opens its
pages to the expression of various opin
ions and discussions, provided they are
by the ablest representatives in each de
partment. Only the writers (whose
names always appear) are responsible for
the views expressed.
AH sides have a chance to speak
through its pagee, on-any subject wMch
is exciting public interest, and demands
thoughtful discussion.
"The Oaitaxy” -is the representative
among the monthlies of the independent
journalism at some of our leading dai-
is.
That this plan has bees a great suc
cess is proved by the brilliant history of
this magazine for the past ten years.
Oar ablest statesmen and leading writers
in all branches hare expressed their
views in its pages.
Bat not only as themediamof thought

It has attached to itself as regular con
tributors a staff of brilliant writers, of
which any periodical may well be proud.

five o'clock Mrs. Hunt, residing at 37
Congress street,while alone in her house,
thought she heard the noise of some ono-
walking about in one of the rooms, and
proceeded to investigate the matter.
Upon entering an upper room, she dis
covered in the dim twilight a big buck
negro making his way to the doorwittf
his arms full of plunder. The ladv im
mediately sounded the alarm, and being
possessed of considerable nerve, seized
the burglar, whilst she called lustily for
help. Unfortunately, no one heard her,
and after quite a severe struggle, the
black rascal succeeded in throwing Mrs.
Hunt violently to the floor, and, falling
on her arm, she broke her left wrist.
A Wholesale Business.—The same
paper ha3 this:
The office of Clerk of Council wa3
startled out of its propriety yesterday by
eight stalwart, well-dressed young men
applying for free return tickets to differ
ent points. Four wished to go to New
Yock, two to Anguata, one to Howstcsii
Texas, and • the remaining traveler to
Havana. The officials, it da needless - to
say, were considerably surprised at these
applications, and the applicants were po
litely informed that it the “walking
was good and there was no dust,” they
might go, but that the city authorities
at present were not extensively engaged
in the free transportation business. It
is singular that not a single individual
desired to “go West.” In this connec
tion, we may state that the average
number of applications for free passes at
the Mayor’s office is three'per diem, em
bracing the masculine gender entirely.
The Chronicle and Sentinel says Messrs.
John J. Cohen & Sons received on Satur
day, from a Columbia county gold mine,
two ingots »pf gold, valued at nineteen
hundred dollars. They were forwarded
to the United States Mint at Philadel
phia to ho coined.
The same paper has thi3 sharp criti
cism on the taste of the Augusta people.
It applies to other places besides Angus-'
ta: . *
A Matter, of Taste.—Tho city o£
Augusta is noted for the culture of citi
zens. Two thousand of them will attend
a sawdust performance or a side show
with a hurdy-gurdy. 2Vo hundred will
attend a lecture delivered by a gentleman
whose fame will live in Confederate story
as long as the sea floats a bark or the
winds heave a sigh.
The Chronicle learns “that Mr. Jack
Williams, a citizenof Morgan county, wa3
struck on the head by some unknown par
ty at the (into of his residence near Mad
ison, last Friday evening, and knocked
senseless. He was found about 8 o’clock
lying on ,thq ground. Ho was still in an
unconscious state yesterday morning at
11 o’clock. It was known that he had
$1,000 on Ms person during Friday, and
the amount has not been found sineahe
was discovered at his gate. No clue to
the assassin has been obtained. Mr.
Williams owns a largo new mill near
Madison. He had been to tho town and
was returning home when he was struck
down.”
The Largest Tax-Pater in Fulton
County.—Tho Chronicles Atlanta'cories-
pendent writes that tho “largest individ
ual tax-payer in Fulton county pays tax
on 143,000 worth of property; next to
him one on $143,575, and next on $143,-
000. Last year tho largest individual
tax payer paid taxon $210,000 .worth of
property. These figures do not-afford ami
accurate idea of tl)0.jrealt}i of tho citi
zens of this countyrfgr they have invest
ments in corporations and mercantile
houso wMch are returned in the name of
tho corporation or firm. The wealtMest
corporation pays tax on $300,000 worth
of property, ono of our leading banks,
and the next wealthiest on $250,000, a
rolling mill and;foundry; and next on
$2-10,000, h wholesale dry goods house,
probably the largest and strongest in
Georgia.”
The Constitutionalist reports the nett
proceeds of the late Catholic Fair in Au

A Covington telegram to tho Atlanta
Eerald dated Saturday, reports the find
ing of a dead body of a peddler named
Gallaher, in tho woods about seven miles
Irons Covington Jthe day before, by some
young men who were out hunting. He
had evidently been beaten to death by
heavy clnhs.
The Herald reports the nett profits of
the exposition of the Library Association

Policeman Simpson, of Atlanta, was

night by a negro convict named Wiley
Redding. Redding is under a twenty
year’s fentenee in the penitentiary, and
recently escaped from tho convict gan;
working in Joe Brown’s Dade county coal
mines.
The H. I. Kimball House.—Under
tMs head, we quote as follows from Sun
day’s Herald:
We ere pleased to learn that tho dif
ference which ha recently existed be
tween Dr. Thompson, B. H. Hill and G.
W. Adair, in regard to this property, and
wMch it ha3 been stated was likely to re
sult in a law suit, has been adjusted to
tho entire satisfaction of all parties. .We
understand that Dr. Thompson employed
General Toombs to look into ,tl}0 matter,
and that the General stated last evening
that ho had examined the" whole case
carefully, and that the differences arose
from a mere misunderstanding of the
facts, and that ho found both parties had
acted honorably and fairly throughout
the entire transaction; and considering,
tho magnitude and complications of the
business, it was remarkable- how slight
the differences were, and how easily ad
justed when understood. Adair and Kim
ball are now in unquestioned possession,
with the exception of tho Rice mortgage.
The Enquirer says the orange trade of
Florida at Columbus w31 amount to $20,-
000 this season. Also, that on Friday
“one firm sent seventy-fivo boxes to Ma
con at a cost of two and one-half cents
per orange.
The Enquirer says Dr. F. O. Ticknor,
physician and poet, and^long known in
that section, "died at the residence of
Capt. G. W. Dillingham, in this city, on
Friday last, from a protracted and pain
ful attack of pneumonia, in the 52d year
of his age.- Dr. Ticknor had resided in
this city and section for upwards of forty
years, and was distinguished as a physi
cian, farmer, poet and man of letters. Ho
was. well known to the readers of the En
quirer as a writer of no mean merit, and
was the author of a number of the finest
short poems in the language.’
Constitutional Convention.—Will
the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel tell
us exactly for what purpose .it desires a
State Constitutional Convention—what is
proposed to be done and how it shall be
done? We ask thi3 question seriously
and; for information, and for i no other
purpose. An editorial on this subject,
—giving the-real-demands existingfor such
a convention, might be proper, just now,
on the part of that paper. We confess,
just at this writing, that we do not
clearly understand the objects of the con-
vehtionists.—Home Courier.
Excuse us, brother Courier, for shoving
in onrear. We don't know precisely what
should he done or how it shall be done'
but we have a veiy clear idea an to what
ought to be done. First: Settle the bond
question beyond. all prospect of any.fu

The following testimonial given in the
toiall last week, at Quitman, of Nick
Thompson, the negro who killed Captain
Hunter,'ih that place, on election “day,
embraces shout all the facts of the case:
Witness was going from Baum’s store
to Edmondson’s hotel; heard a conversa
tion at the pump that attracted his at
tention; walked up near tho pump;
heard an old black man say: “I am
going to vote a Democratic ticket;”
several negroes objected, and said: “No
colored man ought to vote that way ;”
Captain James XL Hunter said a man had
a right to vote for whom he pleased;
Nick Thompson said: “ That i3 a damned
lie;” Captain H. turned round, caught
Ms cane in both hands, about the mid
dle; they were about six feet apart;
Nick got up when Captain H. turned
round, and met Captain H.; Hunter
tried to strike him with his stick, but
Kick was too dose to him; deceased
kept retreating, and Nick followed Mm
up till they had gone back ten or fifteen
feet; by this time Nick had got his knife
in position, and throwing his left hand on
Hunter’s right shoulder, stabbed Mm in
the left breast.
Indiscreet Lanouaoe.—Under this
head the Atlanta Commomcealth has the
following: ^ U.U , .
Mr. W. D. Murray, of Fort Valley, is
reported as saying in the convention yes
terday, that he had whipped several of
Mb negroes lately, and always made them
promise not to prosecute Mm wMle the
chastisement wa3 geing on. In this way
he kept Ms negroes under perfect control.
Mr. W. D. Murray is either a fool or a
blow-hard. As the Southern peoplo are
to be held responsible for the public ut
terances of its citizens, such men as Mr.
Murray ought not to be permitted tc[
speak. In the first place we do not be
lieve his statement, and, in the next, if it
were true, it is no credit to him, and will
go out as a reproach to our people. -.
Wo capitally doubt that Mr. Murray
used any such language. If he did, how
ever, “indiscreet” is certainly the word
to apply to hm utterances.
The Hystery of Charley Boss.
New York December 18 Superinten
dent Walling was closeted this morning
with George W. Childs, of Philadelphia,
Captain Heins, of tho Philadelphia detec
tive force, and Mr. Lewis, the uncle of
Charley Ross. ■ Shortly after 10 o’clock
Detective Silleck and special officer Mor
an, of tho Fourteenth precinct, were call
ed in. After a brief interview with tho
superintendent they left tho building, ac
companied by Captain Heins. There is
no doubt that they are engaged in fol
lowing up an apparent clue. Tho super
intendent declines to give an account at
present of his expedition yesterday. But
say3 that ho was absent in consequence of
information which appeared to be very
valuable, but which proved to bo entirely
worthless. It is rumored to-day that a
new reward will bo offered for the recov
ery of Charley Ros3, and that this matter
is in the hand3 of Mr. Childs.
The superintendent learned tMs morn
ing that officer Connors, of tho Seventh
precinct, had told several persons that
he often saw Hosier in the Seventh ward
last summefTaffd immediately telegraph
ed for hinf.'The officer soon after arrived,
and when asked why he did not arrest
■Mosier said ho did not know tho man was
wanted.
The officer then told tho superintend
ent that he was speaking with a man a
short timo ago who had been in jail in
Westchester county, who told Mm that
ho knew Mosier well, and knew all about
the case, and that they would never get
the cMld. Tho superintendent instruct
ed the officer to arrest the man and bring
him to tho central office.
The police do not believe the report
that the boy has been murdered,but think
that the persons holding him are afraid
of punishment should they now bring
Mm forward, or else are waiting for tho
reward.
It will bo seen by yesterday’s telegrams
that the body of tho drowned boy does
not answer tha description of young Ross-

A Guiltt Minister’s Confession.—
A special to the CMcago Tribune from
Grand Rapids, Michigan, December 11,
says Dr. Fisk, tho adulterous pastor, has
written and caused to be published the
following letter of confession:
To the Public: I frankly confess to the
fearful sin of which I am charged, and
will not be cowardly enough to lie or
seek a palliation of my weakness and
guilt. I can only crave tho pity and
compassion of the world I havo offended,
and the forgiveness which my sincere
and profound repentance before God and
man calls for. I havo returned my letter
of fellowsMp to the denomination I have
so-grievously stricken, and abandoned
the profession which I have so deplor
ably shamed. May God and man pity
and forgive mo, and aid me to do some
humble work in lifo yet for the good of
society., I am not a coward or a sneak to
make Adam’s plea, that “ a woman did
it.” It was my own weak and unguarded
soul that, in a moment of frenzy, wrought
my downfall. In penitence and unutter
able sorrow, R. Fisk, Jr.
The Thieb Teeh.—Watterson of the
^Louisville Courier-Journal who is taking
obsortions in Washington, says:
There is a good deal at ugly, perhap.3
most of it is silly, gossip a3 to the WMte
House; but where there is so much
smoke thero i3 likely to be a spark or two
of fire, and I take it that all is not lovely
in that quarter. It i3 even hinted by
some that, so. far from abandoning all
thought of a third term, Gen. Grant is
more set upon it than ever; that he
thinks the fall elections were lost for the
lack or a bolder front upon' tho third-
term suggestion; and that his immediate
partisans encourage the conceit with a
lustiness befitting their station. This
ought to he taken with a grain of salt. It
would seem incredible that, after the ex
perience through . .which he has just
passed, the President can." entertain any
hope of retaining possession of his office
daring another term. Yet he is to-day
the strongest man in his party, and, con
sidering the follies of eminent men, who
can say that a wicked caprice of this sort
may not possess him ?
