Thc Constitutionalist of yesterday re
lates tbe following s
T. Jeff. Jennings, tbe well-known cot
ton factor, desired to present Mr. Dempa-
ter, a friend in Liverpool. England, with
a fresh specimen of our Savannah shad,
so Mr Jenninga bit on a novel plan to
carry out his wish. He therefore went
to Hale Barrett, Eaq. the President of tho
Anguata Ice Company, and that energetic
gentleman carrieJ out Mr. Jennings' de
sire by enclosing two splendid specimens
of shad in the centre of a block of ice
one hundred and sixty five pounds in
weight. No doubt tbe fi.h found froxen
in the block nf ice will prove as great a
curiosity in Liverpool, as wero tbe apple
duinj lings to King Oeorgo.

Tn« Thornasvillo Enterprise has the
following:
Information was received in this city
on Monday morning last that the body
of Mr. John Lane, a worthy and bard
writing oil zen of this county, bad been
found in tho woods near his borne, some
nine miles west of horo. It seems that
Mr. Lane left the bouse of his son in-law,
Mr. Tom Lane, three weeks ago to-day,
and nothing had been heard from him by
them since. This, however, caused no
serious fear to be apprehendod by them
as to bis safety, since he bad frequently
remained absent from home at various
times, being frequently unexpectedly de
tained in town in ■working at his trade
as a carpenter. On Sunday morning last
his ton, while walking through a branch
some distance from his house, was horri-
fl.xl te discover a human body, which he
recognised as that of Mr. Lane, in a fear
ful state of decomposition. He immedi
ately gave notice to several neighbors, and
on Monday evening an inquest was held
on the body by Jnstioe James H. Hayes,
of Cairo district, assisted by Dr. D. H.
WilmoL From an examination by Dr.
Wilmot tlio fact that his throat had beon
cut and that he had been shot in the side
was developed—leaving no room to doubt
his having been mostly brutally murder
ed. From tho condition of the body it
was tho opinion of Dr. W. that the kill
ing must have taken place some two
weeks ago. This would go to show that
he was murdered on his return from
town on the day of his leaving town.
Tiib same paper says: Tho ologant
mansion of Major J. J. Mash, situated at
Duncanville, twelve miles south of this

on Mouday evening last. The origin of
the fire wo have not learned, but at the
hour at which it occurred we suppose it
to havo been accidental. The building
was perhaps one of the finest, if not the
best, in this connty, was of brick, and
cost when built between $12,000 and
UJ.OOQ.
Yistxkpat, says the Atlanta Constitu
tion, a writ of mandamus was servod
upon State Treasurer Eenfroe by Lester
4 Thompson, attorneys for Mr. Fletcher,
executor on the estate of Henry G. Cole,
deceased, Tho facts are very briefly as
follows:
Many years ago Cole, who was a con
tractor, did work on the Western and
Atlantio railroad near Altoona, amount
ing to abont $14 000. This clsim was
Sot paid, and when the Legislature ap
pointed lions. Benjamin E. Conley, Daw-
eon A. Walker and George Hillyer a
committee to audit claims. Cole went be
fore them. They approved this claim,
and under an act of the Legislature
Governor Conley subsequently gave Cole
two warrants covering the amounts. In
l!>72 or 1S73, the Legislature by resolu
tion ordered the Treasurer*oot to pay
tk-se warrants, and although presented
successively to Augier, Jones and Ren
fros, these officers have refused to pay
them. A writ of mandamus involving
tha same matter, is now pending in the
Superior Court against ex-Treasurer
Jones, and this is brought against the
present Treasurer, Renfroe, baaed upon a
recent repeal. The State will undoubt
edly defend the writ, and endeavor to
•how cause why these warrants should
hot be paid.

THE CHINESE QUESTION.
A Serious Social Problem — John's
Wav of I.ItIiik.
Virginia (Ner.) Enterprise.!
The learned men who conduct com-
manding Eastern journals cannot under
stand why the people of this coast are
opposed to the influx of a race which all
admit possess patient industry and
thrift; who, as a rule, are peaceable citi
zens, and who ask for nothing except
what they can earn. They think it ia
but a prejudice of education which makes
us inveigh against tho Chinese, some
thing akin to that spirit which in the old
slave days made men of the South be
lieve they were right in possessing prop-
erty in man, and believing in classes.
They can pee no taint in the presence of
tho Chinese, and wonderingly ask why
wo, in a country where the cheap labor
of innumerable hands is needed, oppose
tho Tery means by which our wants can
be supplied.
We tell them that white men cannot
compete with tho Chinese, and they sneer
at us, and as much to say, "if you strong
Anglo-Saxons will never compete with
this inferior and half-barb&rouB race,
then the sympathy of the world canDot
go out to you if you are undone by
Chinamen.” And yet that is the point
wherein the whole trouble lies. Tho
Chinese live on food which the white
man could not swallow if he were famish
ing ; he sleeps in cribs that would suf
focate a white laborer; and, witb all re
strictions taken off, there is not a trade
of tho white man’s that the Chinese could
not in fivo years monopolize. There is
no invention in tho race, but their facul
ty for imitation is marvellous. Show
them once hew a boot iB made and they
forever after will make boots as nearly
liko their first model as one's bird nest is
like another. In all the western Pacific
islands and on the Indian coast they
have driven every competitor away, and
they conrrol the trade there; neither
English, German, nor Dutch—not even
the Jews—can compete with them.
For our good, on this coast, we wish a
dozen ship loads of coolias could be land
ed in New York—enough to make a Chi
nese quarter on some street in that city
It would do some Eastern editors good to
see how they live and to find out bow one
of their dens smell. They would begin
then ts realize that if there were a mil
lion of them, instead of a few hundred,
Nsw York city would be poorer instead
of richer for their presence. They would
begin to realize that no newspaper would
ever he subscribed for by even one of all
that million; that no public work in
tended for tbe health, prosperity, or in
telligence of tho people would ever be
helped by them. They would see that
trades were falling into their hands, but
that the public somehow wero not pros
pering; seo that from their quarter of
the oily tho other races wero drawing
away as from a pestilence, and would un
derstand that in caso of danger a million
of these half-made men would be no de
fence.
This is simply a business look; bnt
going further they would seo that every
woman of tbe race was both a harlot and
a slavo; that they were being bought
and sold daily, and that every effort of
courts and officials could not check the
vice for a moment. This might be ex
tended indefinitely. It might bo shown
that under our laws they but follow the
law of their own country in all their re
lations with each other, and that there is
not power enough in either police or
oourts to chnngo this state of affairs for
a moment. The European soon merges
with onr people, and it is hard to tell
after a generation or two whether a man
is of English, German, or any other Eu
ropean descent. But the Chinese have
not changed for thirty centuries, and all
other lands except China are to him and
his foreign shores forever. Their pres*
ence here now, and tho possibilities of
the evils they may bring to our people
in the future, is a more serieus problem
than the American race have yet been
called upon to decide.
A Grand Smash Up This Tear.
To th» Editor of the Herald.]
I desire, through your paper, to give to
the public some facts and figures to show
that the time is about full when Daniel,
according to his prophecy, will “stand in
his lot at tho end of the days.” In Dan
iel, viii., 13, the question is asked “How
long shall be the vision * * • to
give both the sanctuary and tho host to
be trodden under foot? ’ And this ques
tion is answered in the noxt verse, "Unto
2,300 days (or years), then shall the
sanctuary be cleansed.” In chapter nine,
verse twenty four, it ia written : "Sev
enty weeks are determined upon thy peo
ple and upon tby holy city.” That is,
the people of Israel should have seventy
week* respite before they were compell
ed to abandon Jerusalem to the tread of
the conquerors—the abomination of des
elation. Now seventy weeks are 490 days
or years. Let us therefore see what a
little sum in arithmetic will demonstrate
therefrom:
VIII chapter vision 2.300 years
Deduct 70 weeks 490 years
Total 1 810 T ea ”
According to “dhemcall'a Cnronology,”
page 19S, the Jews were compelled to
leave the holy city in the year A. D Gt>.
Therefore add this number to 1S10 and
we have 1S76, which brings us to the
present centennial year of our nation s
history as “the time of the end, when
the great smash up will take place. This
year will fulfill “the times of the Gen
tiles” to tread down the sanctuary of the
Most High. And in anticipation ot tue
coming of the Lord Jesus Christ the sec
ond time without sin unto salvation all
they that love His appearing sho Id
praise the Lord and give glory unto His
name, for the hour of His judgment is
come, when He will give reward unto all
His saints that fear Him, bo h small and
great, and will'destroy them that have
corrupted the earth. Even so. Lord Je
sus, come quickly. Amen!

London ’Change Excited.
London, March 15.—To-day is pay
■lay—the last and most critical of the
fortnightly settlement of the Stock Ex
change. The Exchange is disturbed and
excited. A feeling of uncertainty and
anxiety prevails. Six failures have al
ready beon posted in the house—five
irifliug, but one (that of William Up
ward, stock broker,) is believed to be
for a considerable amount. Further
failures are considered certain.
A number of failures are also reported
at the Glasgow and Liverpool Stock Ex
change. It has not yet transpired
whether they will have any serious effect
here.
3 p. si.—Two additional failures have
been posted in the Stock Exchange.
Business is almost nominal. The settle-
ment is absorbing attention. The changes
in the prices of different securities and
shares do not show that there is any ex
citement, though they are mostly down
ward. Still further failures are expected,
but none of any great importance.

JUST TRY IT ONCEI
Mant persons, from eating too
much, are restless at night, or in
daytime are fidgety, woolgather
ing, can’t understand what they
read, can’t keep their thoughts
on any one subject, so as to rea
son well, or become fretful. One
or two tablespoonfuls of Sim
mons’ Liver Regulator will give
relief.
Major of Engineers, in service of Khedive of
Egypt, says: Some years ago I was seriously af
fected with chronic nervous dyspepsia to such
sn extent that my health was much impaired.
So rapid was the advance of this insidious com
plaint that I soon felt that my constitution was
broken. After suffering for several years, I was
advised to try Simmons’ Liver Regulator, but
declined, because I had conceived it to be “only
patent medicino.” At length, believing it oould
do no harm, I yielded. In a few months I be
came not only relieved, but absolutely cured,
and for two years past l have been thoroughly
restored to health and the enjoyment of life. I
look upon tho “Regulator” us a most excellent
medicine, and will always have it by mo to re
sist any insidious approaches of my old enemy. I
write this in gratitude for the benefit I have re
ceived from the use of the Regulator.—W. B.
Hill.

KEEPING THE SECRET!
Charlotte, N. C, April 20, 1874.—Having
been an invalid for twenty-five years, and hav
ing found relief from your Simmons’ Liver Reg
ulator, I would bo doing great injustice in keep
ing the secret from the public. Having taken
your ever blest medicinal Regulator, I am now
in good bodily health, thanks to this great medi
cine. I had good physicians, but thoy did not
relieve me, and until J was recommended to
take the Regulator I was not relieved, but
through your invaluable medicine and to the
Giver of all good I am this time indebted lor my
life.—Mark Alexander.
TO SA.YB DOCTORS* BILLS!
The Dubuque (Iowa) Tele

About a month ago 1 was induced to try your
Liver Regulator, and procured a package and
have not finished taking, yet tlie effect (in so

For twelve months I have been troubled with
indigestion, and tried the prescriptions of many
physicians; but nothing gave me any relief un-
lil I commenced taking Simmon9* Liver Regula

have the strange feelings that I had before its
use. I think it the best patent medicine in use;
all my customers say it is what you claim for it.
