A Polar Wav*.
The mercury yeeterday morning stood
persistently at plus eighteen—marking
it aa tbe oddest oay of the season.
Other thermometers tray, and probably
did, enow one or two degrees lower, as
ours baa often of late been surpassed in
performance. But wo were satisfied and
asked for no more. Old Bores* came
with on edge—keen bj a razor, and Africa
turned grey and ashy.
Tbe telegrams, however, report at half
past 8 yeeterday morning, 1 below zero at
Naihville, and G below at Louisville. At
Knoxville, Tennessee, the temperature
was pi as 2. These are the only Southern
points from which a report baa reached
ui up to present writing.
In the Northern and Western States,
at tho same hour, the mercury wav SO be
low zero at Omaha, 13 below at St. Paul,
Leavenworth and Chicago, 15 below at
Iodianapolis, and 11 below at Pittsburg
and Detroit. At Buffalo, with a temper
ature of three above zero, the wind ws s
blowing forty miles an hour, and it was
snowing hard.
In Europe it was no belter. The
weather was plerolngly oold, and it waa
snowing heavily in Scotland, with a pros-
peot of a general block in trave'.
Io Franco the rivers ware overflowing
their hanks in oonsequenoa of heavy
thaws of previous mows. In •horf, *1*
out doors, both in Barope and Amerioa,

body has ever talked about a mild winter
let tbe words bo recalled.
Lieutenant Flipper's Book.
Wo have jast received, by mad, from
tho publishing house of Ilomer, Lee St
Co , New York, the Autobiography of
Lieutenant Henry Ossian Flipper, U. S.
A., the first graduate of color from tho
West Point Military Academy. Tbe
book, which contains 322 pagee, is gotten
up in good style, and is dedicated to the
President and faoulty of the Atlanta
University, (coh)
Daring his sojourn in Macon, last year,
we met the Lieutenant on several occa
sions and always found him courteous,
pleasant and respectful. We can recall
his speech to the colored battalion, also,
which ho inspected and reviewed in true
military style, and feel constrained to Bay
that it waa both conservative and appro
priate.
Flipper is A native of Thomaaville,
where his lather, Feetns, a shoemaker,
still resides, and was formerly owned by
Rev. Reuben K. Lucky, of that plaoe. He
appoars to have been a lad of good charac-
or, and at the conolusiou of the war,
having removed to Atlanta, after a nine
moctha’ sojourn in Macon, entered the
oolored University there, and mas thus
qualified for ins subsequent career at
West Point.
His Appeintment as a cadet was due to
the exertions and influence of Mr. Free
man, tho Republican member in Con
gress from the Fifth District.
Tbe book before ns is mainly devoted
to tho cxparieneM of Lieutenant Flipper
at the Military Aoademy, and contains
numberless extracts from letters, news
papers, etc., complimentary or otherwise.
While ws find somewhat to approve of
occasionally in its pages, there is much to
condemn, liadioal ranoor and raoe prej
udloes are but too freqasntly apparent,
though It is but fair to Ray that hs him
self was often the snbjsot of insult and
personation at the bands of white assoc!
atos at the Aoademy.
His book will probably make a lion of
Lient raaut Flipper at the radioal North,
and among bis oolored Southern broth
ren. It wav Intended to sell doubtless,
and will probably provo a peouniaiy euo-
oeaj. Bat whether it will aid him eooi
ally, or promote his fortunes os rn mmy
officer may be capitally doubt id.
At
Woman Vote of Wyoming
A correspondent of the Denver Mirror,
who went to Wyoming to take a practical
view of woman suffrage, is enthusiast!
over the matter. He repudiates the ah
legation that respectable women shun the
ballot, and describes tbe ladies' poll at
the Cheyenne election, thus:
Io tbe town are t *o poiling places,
one of these, a nicely furnished room in
the Inter-Ocean Hotel, the moat of the
women vote, and some gentlemen who
hava accompanied their wiTea and sisters
with others who, on oercunt of the order,
quiet and neatness that prevails, doubt
less prefer to cist iheir vous here. It
this room, the floor of which is covered
with Brussel* carpet, sat tho judges and
clerks of the election—three Udies and
two gentlemen. The bright, intelligen
and pleasant faces ol the ladies, and the
dignified and pleasing manners of the
gentlemen, gavo a homelike appearance
that wib very agreeable, and one could
not fail to ask why objections should be
made to women participating in a matter
•f so much importance a; the government
of their country. Women voters were
coming and going during all hours.
Many cams in their own carriages,
some in carriages Bent by political pAllies
but many walked, preferring this rather
thin pUoe tbemselvej under tbe appear
anceof being influenced by riding in
carriage provided by, any patty—though
men do not scruple to ride when they
have tbe opportunity. Tho ladies brought
their ballots wilh them. They knew be
fore ihey came for whom they were go
iug to vole. Having the ticket before
hand, they knew exactly whose name .to
scratch, and some, at iesst, did not vote
tho Btreight ticket. Tho ladiee do not
forget e man's political record. His mor
al character has muoh to do in gaining or
losing their voto". There was no elec
tioneering at the voting-place; no;
word was npoken, oooasionaity a gentle
man in the crowd that etood on the side
walk wonld bow to a lady acquaintance,
bnt not one word did we hear daring the
time we remained.
Tne dispatch with which they voted
was a marvel. The avorage timo for
lady to walk from her carriage aoroRs the
sidewalk, deposit her bailor and seat her
self in her carriage again, wn twenty-
eight second*. Tbe longest lime taken
by any one lady, while we noticed them,
waa forty-five seconds, the shortest eigh
teen seconds. Tbe verdict of every horn
est mind is to the character of a majori
ty of theso women would undoubtedly be,
“respectable, good women.” We are
told .that it was quite a rare thing for
woman's vote to be challenged, although
men were there pH day for that purpose.
Ten years of political ltfo hat not corrup
ted the women so that the men cannot
trait them. Though large nnmbera of
men stood around the polling plaoe all
day not a load word wav heard; no smok
ing and no ipilticg on the walk over
which the ladies had to pass. The way
w; i always kept free fjr them to pass
through. If these were not gentlemen,
they wero iho best counterfeiters we
have ever seen. The whole aopearanoe
and bearing of these men bear testimony
of their respeotabiiity.
Hxsn to Pr.axar.—Complaints are rr_
ported from New York about the gold
dollar—it is too small—it is easily lost—
it slips between the linger:; and the oon-
SEqncDCo of this dissatisfaction is a Ire-
action ;u favor of silver. Tho reason
why people are so very fastidious about
their money at this time may, perhaps,
be found In tho fact that there is so little
of if. By and by, when local bank paper
gets to bo Abundant, people will pass it
without examination or crltioism.

Kesumpttou Fully Inaugurated
The agony of resumption ia ovor at
length and proved to bo no agony what
ever, bnt the sweetost and easiest thing
imaginable. Indeed, it was an aocom
plisbed fact some time before the ad
vent of the greatly dreadrd appointed
day. Bat neither Mr. Sherman or any
one else is entitled to epeoial praise in
the premises. The .happy Issue was the
result of a fortunate concatenation of oir-
oamslanoos, prominent among whloh is
the faot that tho balancs of trade has for
months been largely in oar favor, and
the remonetization of silver has taken
off tho edge of tho appetite for veritable
hard money. Every one, for some lime
past, who bus been lacky enough to han
dle any money at a'l, is already aiok of
the heavy load of silver which mast be
oarrted even to meet ueoesaary current ox
pesises. Hence the people and banks,
toe, were quite prepared to dispense with
tbe shining staff, provided they oould get
good, dean greenbacks and legal tenders
in lien thereof.
Bat confidence, that very expressive
and comprehensive ward, famishes the
key to tho solution of the whole matter,
Tne plighted faith and immense re-
eources of tbo United Blales government
are pawuedfortho aolvenoy and redemp
tion of the securities uttered under its
imprimatur, ana the very existence of
these obligations tend, like the English
consols, to solidify and bind together all
sections of the country. How much bet
ter is this ooDdition of things than the
inflated State currency of former times,
when private banking companies traded
upon the credulity of the public to the
extent of issuing from three to five dol
lars of their billa for every one dollar of
available funds for their redemption, and
had no backing whatever!
We feel quite sure that the best, and
safest currency to be instituted is that
whioh is baaed upon the Integrity and
oredit of all the tax-payers of the nation,
the amount ia&ued to be guided and con
trolled by the immediate representative*
of the people in Congress. Now, if the
holders of our securities abroad, when
they see that there is no run whatever
upon the treasury at home, will consent
to be quiet and not realise, all will go on
smoothly and well.

HoiTETTra’a Stomach Biitkrs.—This
popular tonic meets with universal ap
probation, and, indeed, in many malarial
districts is almost an indispensable ad
dendum to the ineviteblo qninine used in
chills and fevers.
The commissioner of Internal Revenue,
Hon. Green B. Raum, has decided and
thns declares that:
“From all tbe statements and repre
sentations thns made in this case, I am
Erilicfied, notwithstanding the fact that
these bitters are sometimes sold by -’the
glass by retail liquor dealers, that they
have been properly classed as Medicinal
Bittors, and when duly stamped, under
the provisions of Schedule A, of the Re
vised Statutes of the United States, that
they may bo sold as other medicinal arti-
ticlea and sold without tho vender be
ing required to pay a special tax as li
quor dealer. Tbe ruling of this office,
therefore, contained in tho letter to Col
lector Carroll, of October 2d, 1878, so far
as it relates to HostetteFs Stomach Bit
ters, is hereby revoked.”
The above ruling is also substantially
confirmed by the commissioner’s general
decision of the 14th instant on the same
article, as it may be found in the internal
revenue record of December 16th, 1878.
Dealers will therefore take notice, that
in accordance with the decision of the
commissioner just above quoted, you are
□ot required to take out a liquor dealor’s
license in soiling our bitters.

Tbo Orange Crop ot Florida.
Tho Ereeze in its issue of the 24th ult.
says tho Floridian, refers to information
which has bson given it upon the subject
of tho orange crop of Florida. Its infor
mation from the Indian nver and Halifax
country is that 3,750,000 oranges hava
actually boon shipped this year from that
region, and upon tnis information it
bases ito estimate of the annnal crop for
the entire Slate at 12,000,000. Wo think
that our friend is far short in bis csti-
msts. Tho Enquirer and Sun estimates
the value ot tho oiaugo crop (which is
obtained from tho Apalachicola river
alone} to Colnmbus at $40,000. We
have also been informed that u census
of the trees now bearing and that will
probably bear within four years has been
taken around Orange Lake and its vicin
ity, and that 483,000 trees bare been
reported. Now assuming that each tree
will bear 1,000 orange i it is reasonable
ty eay that four yeo-a hanco an annnal
crop of 483.C00.0C5 oranges will ba ship,
pod from this region alone. We do not
inoluds tho erop which may be produced
on too St. John’s ani Gulf coast. If then
the friend who reported the taking of the
census to us has made no mistake, we
nnhoeit.-Uingly say that iu four years the
orange crop will exceed in valne the cot
ton crop of the State.
Surntar Aciranc:: Robert Robinson,
who died on Wednesday, December 10th,
1873, waa the oldest nep-ro in Florida,
having passed his one hundred and twea-
tiethyear, He was brought to Florida
in 1778 by an Afrioan slave trader, and
landed near St. Augustine with a num
ber of othar African slaves. When near-
ng the shore he esoaped from tbe vessel
by swimming, and secreted himself in a
hollow log, amid the dense foliage of a
thick swamp, but his pursuers placed
bloodhounds on his trail and he was re
captured. He was the father of ten
children, and this statement is from his
fifth child, s eon, who is seventy-four
years old, and was with Colonel Hanson
at the capture of Osoeola. He says his

Most cart Statistics cf Ssvansau.—
Mr. Torl»y, keeper of Laurel Grova Cem
etery, of 8avannah, reports 1,013 inter
ments for the put twelve months. Tbe
greatest number of bnrials, we are sur
prised to see, took place in May, amount-,
ing to 92. The consolidated statement
of the number of interments from the
opening of the cemetery in October 1832'
to December 31, 1S78, twenty-sir years
and three months, is 10,777 whites, and
13,863 colored, showing a total ot 24.G45.
The Election ror Codijtt Omcins in
Savannah.—The Macs says:
There was considerable enthusiasm
manifested in a quiet way, and no little
hard work was done by the voterans in
electioneering. There were one or two
knock downs, tho reeult of soma hasty
words, bnt no serious disturbance oc
curred, and the aid of the police, a squad
of whom were located in the eqaare op
posite the polls for an emergency, wax
not required. There were a multiplicity
of tickets displayed presenting various
combinations, and it was not difficult to
make a choice; nevertheless there was
some scratching done by those who cenld
not find tho exact little ballot they de
sired. As is known, there wero no nomi
nations made by the Democratic party,
and the race was a “free thing,” so to
speak, candidates having the privilege
ol announcing themselves. There wero
seven offices to be filled, and for all but
threo there was only onA candidate in the
field. Tho opposition was for- sheriff,
coroner and tax receiver, there being
fonr candidates out for the honors of the
second, and two for the first and third.
The total vote polled was 2.300, which
may be considered a fair vote under the
circumstances.
The oonnt of one box only bad basn
conolnded, bnt enough was known to show
that John T. Ronan was elected Sheriff,
O. S. Hardee, Clerk; Barnard E. Bee,
Resorder; J. J. McGowan, Tax Goileotor;
B. J. Sbeftall, Coronei; John Williamson,
Treasurer, and John R. Tebean, Snr-
veyor.
Sudden Death or a Btbanoku.—From
the same: About a quarter put ten
o’clock yesterday, a stranger named F.
Oden, whilst standing on the forward
deck of the Bteair , 'b'p Gate Oity, lying
at tbo Central Railroad wharf, was appar
ently seized with a fit and suddenly fell,
striking the baok part of his head on tbe
uombing of the forward hatob. He was
oonveyed to the forward saloon, and
every attention waa given him, bnt he ex
pired in a few minutes without uttering
a word. The deoeued had engaged pre
sage to New York on the steamer, whioh
was on the eve of sailing at the time, and
tbo body was consequently taken ashore.
Coroner Chisholm was notified, and, it is
expeoted, will hold an inquest to-day.
Papers found on the body of the de
ceased showed that he wm from the
town of Union, Hudson oouoty. New
Jersey, and that sinoe December 7th he
had been in tbe Marine Hospital under
treatment for heart disease. He was
apparently about forty years of age.
Thx Countt Election in Atlanta.—
In default of fall returns tho Con-
slilulion does not give the positive results
ot the late eleotion, bnt thinks the fol
lowing candidates have been elected:
Sheriff, W. A. Wilson; Tax Collector,
S. li. Hoyle; Clerk, J. 8. Holliday; Tax
Receiver, William Ezzard; Surveyor, B.
F. Walker; Treasurer, C. M. Payne; Cor
oner, W. G. Drake.
There items to be no donbt of Wilson’s
election. Holliday and Collins are so
close that an official vote wiH be required
to decide the result.
How a Five Dollar Bond or the
New lasna will Look.—Treasnrer Ren
free showed a Constitution reporter tho
device and designs ot one of these bonds.
It is as follows:
The lettering on the face ischazte and
not at all bold. The face r- litea tbe
character and issuance of the bond
puronanoe of law. Two vignettes adorn
either end of the face, one of whioh, tbe
first, will contain the portrait of a very
yonng and handsome Georgian for whom
the Treasnrer has special affection—his
grandson—while the other will have the
coat of arms of tbo State. Tho scroll
and lathe-work in the corners and around
the border will be very handsome, and
the tinted back ground, with tho words
"'five dollais,” will bo iu perfect har
mony.
THE EEVKHSS
side of tho bond will he enclosed with
border and coiner pieoes, and will con
tain in full the act of tho General Assent
bly authorizing the issuance of this series
of bonds.
Tbe coupons are diminutive postage-
stampy affairs, ranged in a line along the
bottom of the bond. They ore lillipntion
dnc-bllls whioh the big bill ssems to
hover over sa a hen would over its chick
ens. Treasurer Renfroe, to avoid tho
ragged look which severing the coupons
would give tho bonds, has endeavored
to so arrange aa to have them on tho end
whero they might be clipped the full
width of the bond, but is not satisfied, os
yet, with hia pl.in. The bonds will eoon
bo completed.
One negro was arrested on election
day in Atlanta for illegal voting. There
wero very few challenges.
Vert few changes ot business firms
have been made in Atlanta so far the

Hawk ins ville is Buildina a Steam
boat.—The Dispatch says: There is con
siderable interest felt in the completion
of the steamboat now being built at this
_ !ace for Mr. R. R. Woods. The work
was commenoed on the 11th of July last,
the gentleman whose name heads this
article will soon beoome a citizen of At
lanta, and pays him this well-deserved
compliment:
Judge Montcomery is just now in the
prime of a vigorous manhood, and is

POVERTY AND DISTRESS,
That poverty which produces the great
est distress is not of the purse but of the
blood. Deprived of its richness, it be
comes scant and watery, a condition
termed anemia in medical writings,
Given this condition, and scrofulous
swellings and sores, general and nervous
debility, loss of flesh and appetite, weak
lnngs, throat diseases and consumption
are among the common results. There
fore, If you are a sufferer from thin, poor
blood, do not hesitate, but employ Gol
den Medical Die overy which enriches
the blood and radically cures these affec
tions by striking at the root of the evil
and removing the canse.
For all bronchial, throat and lungaffec-
tions, severe lingering coughs, weak
lungs, consumption in its early stage?,
asthma and. kindred affections, Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is the
sovereign remedy, and has outrivaled all
its competitors. It is harmless in any
condition of the system, yet powerful
core. Druggists sell it.
Jackson, J.—Tbe oonnter affidavit to
distress warrant for rent brings the oase
into the Saperior Coait, and when said
aflldavit is dismissed, on motion of the
plaintiff, the caae passes out of tbe jaii
diction of tbe Coart, and is remanded to
tbe Sheriff by operation of law; and the
dismissal of the warrant, on aooonnt of
the insufficiency of the plaintiff’s efflit

being no longer any oese in Coart.

Many, on the entrance of tbe nowyear,
form new resolutions of good conduct te

Correspondence or the Times J
Boston, December 30.
When Secretary of’ War Belknap waa
in his glory, about three years ago, his
charming little wife (who had not then
speculated in post-traderships to an ex
tent sufficient to warrant the exprase of
sporting a first-class private yacht) con
ceived the brilliant idea of killing her
less fortunate rivals with envy and at the
same time astonishing the country with
the novel and unusual sight of converting
a first-class ship of war into a pleasure
yaoht, for the express accommodation of
herself and a select party of privileged
ladies, gentlemen, babies and nurses.
For this interesting event tho then hon
orable and obliging Secretary of the Navy,
Robeson, placed at the disposal of the
little lady and her particular friends the
United States Bteam frigate Powhatan,
one of the largest ond most expensive
ships in the navy.
Now comes General Grant and his lit
tle junketing party, who aro to “do”
India and China in a first-class govern
ment vessel and astonish tbo nabobs and
Oriental grandees. When Dozn Pedro,
‘Emperor of Brazil, -visited this country
he and his suite came in a regular packet
steamer, and took their departure in the
same way. Tho, Marquis of Lome and
hia royal wife took passage to their new
home by one of the Alian steamers in
preference to the moro regal and osten
tatious conveyance of a ship of war. But
the friends of bur little General have de
cided that'
‘■lie shall travel rieht royally,
Sttange countries tor to see.”
and they have induced the amiable and
patriotic Secretary of tho Navy to place
the United States steamer Richmond at
his disposal.
THEMOHMOND.
As a description of the ship whioh has
been designated to do honor to General
Grant by conveying him nnd his snite to
tho scenes of his anticipated Oriental tri
umphs may provo interesting to the read
ers of tho Times I paid a visit to the Uni
ted States steamer Riohmond, while ly
ing at the Charleston Navy Yark, just be
fore her departure for New York on her
trial trip lost Saturday.
The Riohmond is one the “craok” ships
of our rather feeble navy and she is con
sidered ono of the few really presentable
ships in tho service, She is o sister ship
to the Brooklyn and Hartford, bnilt at
Norfolk, Virginia, daring Buchanan’s ad-
ministration, rates second cla s, has a dis
placement of 2,000 tons, monniH fourteen
gnns and lies a orew of 320 men. The
Riohmond has had a new set of engines
put in her since she was bnilt
and has roooctly had uew boilers
put in. She has been thoroughly over
hauled at this station, and much elabo
rate ornamentation has been indulged
in, probably on account of the distin
guished passengers she is destined to
carry. New and costly carpete, furniture
and fittings havo been added to her cab
ins and word room. The after, or admi
ral’s cabin has been fitted up in an ele
gant, if not sumptuous, manner for the
express accommodation of Gen. Grant
and esite, and it is thought that addi
tional embellishment and appointments
will be mado to the cabin and state rooms
set apart for His Excellency and friends
when the Bhip arrives at the port in Eu
rope where General Grant may elect to
embark for his Oriental tour. It is tho
opinion among the officers of the Rich*
mond that General Grant will embark
either at Marseilles or Spezxia. The
ship will then proceed, by way of the
Suez canal, dirt ct to Calcutta.

commission, eaja:
A remarkable statement was mado to
day by Dr. C. B. White, a resident phv-
Bician hero sinco 1863. and at one-time
president of the Board of Health Ha
stated that the yellow fever traveled
from any known center cxiotly at the
rate of forty feot a day, and ho had be
come perfectly satisfied from persona,
experience that if the infected place
could be perfectly encircled by disinfect
t&nts and tho enclosure itself could be
thoroughly fumigated, it would bo impos
sible for tho disease to epread. Ho said
the practice hitherto had beoa to follow
after the fever with d'senfectants, not'*
meet it. He further said while lie was 3
president of the Board of Health a meth
od was adopted of blowing sulphurous
gaB through the holds of vest-els by means
of an apparatus which he described, and
in no instance was this known to fail in i
controlling the disease.

THE BRAZILIAN FAHIKK.
Terrible MnfTerlng In tbe Worth
era Province of t eura.
Captain WiUiam Weir, of the Bteamer
City of Rio Janerio, which arrived at New
York from Brazil, Friday, says that just
before he Bailed for New York he met a
man from Ce&ra, tho famine-stricken re
gion in northern Brazil, who told him
that tbe people there were dying so fast
that it was impossible to make coffins to
supply tbe demand, and that they dag
ditches and tumbied the unihrouded
corpses into them, eight or ten at a time.
The deaths from small-pox were aa high
as 500 and 600 daily. in Ceara alone, and
it was with great difficulty tbat that per
sons could be found to oonvey the dead
bodies to the ditches in which tbey were
buried. The city was orowded, when
thd small-pox broke out, with refugees
from the interior of the province, who
had been driven in by the terrible famine
which desolated it a few months ago.
Among these refugees, already weakened
by the famine, the small-pox raged with
tearful violence.
The Biaziiian Government is doing
all in its power te alleviate the distress,
for the country outside of C<rara suffered
less than tbe city itself, simply because
there were fewer people to be attacked.
During tbe famine the government sent
away all the people they could (about
30,000.) scattering them nearly all over
Brazil. One thousand wore sent to Para,
where they were employed by the Collins
brothers in the construction of the Ma
more Railroad. Captain Weir says that
while tho amoil-pox in Coara capnot be
exaggerated, liters is no truth in the re
port that the people in the interior of the
province are cmpelled to devour carrion
and corpses. The inhabitants left in tho
country are ao few tbat the government
new has no difficulty in supplying them
with all the food Ihey require.
