Rabbi Isaac M, Wise. Rabbi Isaac M. Wise, of Cincinnati, who will be remembered as having laid the cor ner stone of the Jewish Synagogue in Au gust,j, has been called to the! pastorship of the new Synagogue, AnshlChesed, on Lex ington avenue and Sixty-third street, New York. The building is very handsome and elaborate, and cost $250,000. Dwelling House Burned. The old summer residence belonging to the estate of the late W. J. Eve, at Little Hill, in the neighborhood of Turknett Spring, caught tire by sparks from the chimney falling on the roof, about 7 o’clock yesterday morning, and was entirely con- Humed. The house was occupied by sev eral colored families, who succeeded in saving all their furniture. The house, we learn, was insured for $2,000, which will fully cover the loss. Redaction of (Serbian Iron Duties. The German Government has decided to reduce for three years and then to abolish altogether the import duty on iron. The reduction which takes place in October is 15s. per ton on hammered and rolled iron, T-irou angles and. thick sheets, bringing down the rate to £1 per ton. Blooms are to be admitted at 10s. per ton, pig and old iron duty free. Proportionate reductions are to be made in the duties now charged on rough castings, forgings and unfinished articles in steel and sheet iron, also on boilers and steam machinery. These re duced imposts will, according to present arrangements, be absolutely repealed on the Ist of January, 1877. Tlie Charleston Sctinetzenplatz. From the Charleston A f ews and Courier we learn that the plan prepared for the improvement of the Schuetzenplatz Hall, by John H. Devereux, has been adopted, and the work is to be begun as soon as pos sible. The new hall, or rather the present one improved and repaired, will have a Mausard roof, witb heavy balustrade finish, flagstaff and a sixty foot turret, with elip ticai arches. The building is to be moved from its present situation to the west of the platz, so as to afford more room for visit ors, and also for a lawn which is to be laid oat and kept with care. Capt. Ducker i pushing forward the project with charac teristic energy, and evinces a deep Interest in tlie welfare of the club, now one of the institutions of the city. Important Railroad Meeting;. From the News we learn that a meeting of the Directors of the Great Southern Railway Company was held in Savannah on Friday. The Board of Directors con sists of Messrs. T. W. Osborn, M. L. Steans, Sherman Conant, W. T. Trammell, W- L Woods and M. H. Alberger. This road Is to run in an air line from Millep, Ga., to Jacksonville, Fla., the cen tre point being Jesnp, Ga., and its comple tion will place Savannah within seven hours’ travel of Jacksonville. The contract for building the road was awarded to a New York construction com pany, and work will be commenced on or (before the first of December. Meeting ol Railroad Magnate*. There was a large assemblage of railroad Stagnates in Atlanta on Friday, embracing among those present, Hon. John P. King, President of the Georgia Railroad; A. L. Tyler, Vice-President of the South Caro lina Railroad; Win. Rogers, Superintend ent of Central Railroad; A. Pope, General Freight Agent of Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta Railroad ; S. K. Johnson, Su perintendent of the Georgia Railroad ; and representatives of the several connections of the above roads. The rates on cotton were made the same as last yeai, except Nash ville and Memphis which was left for fu ture action. Rates to Providence were made seven cents lower. The action of last meeting was reaffirmed. The Green Line Executive Committee was also in session in Atlanta on Friday. The committee ou classification changed the classification of hay so as to make it “ per car load” ins-ead of “per 100 pounds.’! Escaped Prisoner Recaptured.. On Friday night two negro prisoners, George Doe and Ed. Pelot, made their escape from Aiken (S. C.) jail, and made their way to Augusta. Pelot was in jail under charge of highway robbery, commit ted near Hamburg a few weeks ago, where he severely beat and robbed a white man named Lauham, whiie returning to his home in Edgefield. The city police received knowledge of Pelot’s presence in Augusta, and his purpose to leave lor Savannah at an early hour yesterday morning on the steamer Rosa. Just as the boat was about to start, he was nabbed and carried to the guard house. Sheriff Jordan, of Aiken, was notified of Pelot’s arrest, and reached the city at 2:30 o’clock p. m., returning to Aiken with his prisoner on the accommo dation train. Doe, the other fugitive, was imprisoned on a trivial charge and Is sup' posed to have made his w.iy to the Augusta Canal. XVotkluuiiien’s Movements.' The New York World says that during the past three weeks nearly five hundred painters in that city have been on a strike, and have managed to keep the matter a secret until now. The strike was declared in consequence of the bosses attempting to return to the ten-hour system. Already several of the shops have been cleared out by the strikers. On the 29th instant a mass meeting of the workingmen will be held under the aus pices of the Workingmen’s Central Coun cil, anew organization, which represents every trade in New York city. The object of the meeting will be to agitate the eight hour law. The Crispins express great dissatisfac tion wl th the present condition of trade, and a general strike is threatened in conse quence of a reduction in wages. The Largest Bridge In the U’orid. The London Builder gives the following dimensions of abridge to be constructed over tij c Frith of Forth : “The structure will be by far the largest in the world. It will be oue hundred and fllty feet in height, and will contain nearly one hundred spans. The greatest span, in the centre, will be fifteen hundred and fifty feet in width, or uearly a third of a mile in extent, dimen sions which are without a parallel for any similar piece of architectural construction, and the smaller openings or spans will be cne hundred and fifty feet in width being considerably beyond the average dimen sions of the largest spans In ordinary bridges. It will cost at least ten millions of dollais. ’ Tlie Champion Rat Slayer. A couple of afternoous siuce a party of three gentlemen visited the “bat field’’ on the outskirts of the city, to indulge themselves iu the popular sport of winging bats, now flying in great numbers. Two of the gen tlemen succeeded lu bagging forty-two birds. Their companion, who has been dnbbed “ Shack Nasty Jim,” when asked for the evidence of his skill in the use of the double barrel, reported the killing of one bird, killed by somebody else, and six grasshoppers, after the expenditure of $2 worth of ammunition. He now proposes to claim the belt as the champion bat slayer. The Unit and the Caterpillar. Farmers in the vicinity of Augusta are complaining of toa much rain, and we hear of the appearance of considerable rust in the cotton In several localities, which threatens to materially curtail the yield promised two or three weeks ago. The caterpillar has appeared in small numbers on some of the river plantations below the city, but has as yet inflicted no material damage on the cotton. They are doubtless only awaiting reinforcement to commence their work of devastation. The Preacher* and their Tobacco. At the conference at Cokesbury, 8. C., last week, the matter of preachers using tobacco was discussed as unbecoming, and calculated to do harm to the rising generation, by the influence of a bad exam ple. Oue of the members soon quashed proceedings by requesting the brethren to hand over their tobacco to him. BtraDge to say, not another word was said about tobacco, and a very thin collection of fine cut and twist was lifted. Joint Convocation. A special meeting of the Augusta and Atlanta District Convocations of the Epis copal Church will be held in Clarksville on the 20th of this month and continue for several days. It is expected that Bishop Beckwith, who, with his family, are so journing iu Clarksville, will preside, and that quite a number of the clergy and prominent laymen will be present, and the occasion be oue of much profit, Interest and pleasure. Good Templar* ('harmed Double Fare. The Rome Commercial Is responsible for the statement that Col. W. S. Cothran, President of the Rome Railroad, has the dead sure thing on S. C. Robinson and his Good Templars. He informed the Grand Worthy Secretary a tew days ago that he would have to charge all Templars doable fare, in order to make up for the falling off of freights ou whiskey over the road. Bishop Qnlntarl. The Memphis Appeal, of the 12th, states that the Rev. Charles Todd Qulntard is now unable to attend to Uis duties because of illness. He is at Sewanee, and liis phy sicians say that it is necessary for him to remain there several weeks before resum ing his ministerial work. Dead House at the Colored Cemetery. Messks. Editou3 Constitutionalist: The Colored Cemetery is much in need of a dead house. Many of our colored citizens die who have no fixed abode. Some of our colored citizens are tax payers, and own sections in the Colored Cemetery. Tney ask this much of onr City Fathers. Citizen. According to the American Begister, pub lished at Paris, Miss Mary C. Lee, daughter of the late Gen. Robert E. Lee was in Dres den on the 14th of July. The Nashville, Chattanooga and St. I Louis Railroad. At the meeting of the stockholders of 1 this road, held in Nashville last Wednes day, resolutions were adopted authorizing the directory to issue first mortgage l>onds not to exceed $20,000 per mile of road and branches, to take up all outstanding in debtness, the bonds to bear 6 per cent, in terest in geld. President Cole’s report shows the net income for the past fiscal year to be $555,262 68, and that tlie road is in splendid condition financial ly and otherwise. Its bonds will go on the market at par, aDd most ample security is guaranteed. It estimated that the road lost SIOO,OOO from the ice block ade at KickmaD. Ky., last winter, the break on the Western and Atlantic Road and the late cholera epidemic. The stock of the company was rsised to $5,486,000 The stockholders express great anxiety to have the Cumberland and Ohio and the Owens boro aud Kentucky roads completed. Passengers Entitled to Neats. Gen. Vau Kouten brought suit in the Cnss county (Ind.) court against the Pitts burg, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railroad to recover $5,000 damages. Van Kouten had entered a car of the compauy’s aud refused to deliver up his ticket until the conductor furnished him with a seat. The cars were crowded and no seat was to be obtained, so the conductor just stopped the train and put Van Kouten off. Nothing daunted, he caught on the last car, and was pu t off a second time, and his baggage flung off with him. The case.was entered in Cass coun ty, and under chauge of venue was taken to Carroll county, and the plaintiff was awarded $2,000 by the jury as compensa tion for the broken contract. The Beer Question In a National Point ol View. The organ of the Brewers’ Association of the United States, published at Wash ington, makes a very significant statement relative to the trial of fourteen German restaurant keepers in Worcester, Mass., which has just concluded, and these four teen Germans, every one of them in posses sion of a license for which he has paid the United States Government the sum of twenty dollars, have been fined in Wor cester, Mass , and sent to the house of correction for six months, and ordered to be lined SI,OOO bail to the anti-beer law for one year, because they have sold fermented liquors. Concerning these ar rests the Sentinel says : ‘ Massachusetts takes the fourth rank in the manufacture of fermented liquors among the States of the Union. She is only exceeded by New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio. She paid last year to the Federal Government $530,280 as tax on malt liquors, and for the first nine months of the present fiscal year she paid $474,531, against $404,599 for the same time last year. If she had been permitted to go on up to the Ist of July last she would, at the same rate of increase, paid no less than $063,948 beer tax into the Treasury of the United States, a sum equal to the armual interest on $11,666,000 of onr six per cent bonds. All that will henceforth be lost. The Government of the United States has received for every barrel of beer thus seized or destroyed, the sum of sl. The government officials uavecontinued to collect the Federal tax, and thus indirect ly encouraged the manufacturer to break the law. The question now arises, what, is the Federal Government going to do in Massachusetts? If it is lawful in Massa chusetts to manufacture andseil beer, the Government cannot legally collect any taxes, and the money forced out of the brewers by the Federal officers must be re turned to them. If it is proper and just to ruin the manufacturers and dealers of fermented liquors, and confiscate their hard earned properly, it must also be right, to do the same with those engaged in the manufacture and sale of whiskey and tobacco and any other article. If the Federal Government quietly submits to be despoiled of its revenue in Massachusetts, let it be deprived of the same elsewhere, in fact, be starved out. Some People’s Idea of Happiness. The Macon Telegraph, a few days ago, printed the following paragraph : Griffin has almost vowed not to be happy any more without a fouadry and machine shop. The Griffin Newi makes the following happy sarcastic rejoinder, which justly, but delicately, plows into the ribs of the “Money Bags” fraternity, whose creed is briefly comprised in the e ffort to get all they can and keep all they have got. It so well fits the generality of that class, scattered as they are within the range of our circula tion, that we transfer ti e response of the News to our colunus, as follows: M 1 stake, Mr. Telegraph. Griffin would give $30,000 to be happy, and can raise the money, but we aint going to do it, because we can get from 2>2 to 5 per cent, a month for money, which makes us so happy, that we never intend to put a doliar in a foun dry or manufactory, as we propose to eat out the very vitals of the people hereabouts, and have nothing in the a foundry or machine shop of any sort, u>r them to even recuperate on. We fellows who have money, intend to keep it in such a shape that the so-called intelligent machanic can’t see it or reach it by honest toil, We must have collateral to cover the 2>£ to 5 per cent, per month, and as we know he can’t pay it, we will eventually get It all. You need not be impertinent, Mr. Telegraph, and ask ns what we will do with it when we get it! How She Manases Him. The Tribune has the following which we repert for the benefit of those “ whom It may concern A Pennsylvania lady has a romantic and ingenious way of managing the gen tleman bo happy as to be her husband. Exasperated by her persistent conversa tion, he ungallautly boxed her e irs the other day. The wretched woman cast but one lingering reproachful glance upon her lord and fled, simply observing as she departed that the briny deep should wash away the insult.. Leaving behind her everything most dear and precious to her— the home of her married life full of beau tiful and cherished memories—this heart broken woman rushed frantically to the canal, and, with one parting sigh, threw in a large stone, which made a mighty splash. Then she went and hid herself In the bushes and giggled, while her husband and twenty other men hurried up, with horror depicted upon their countenances, and wildly dragged the canal for tier body. When the injured wife became convinced that the wretch had suffered enough, she appeared from behind the bushes and led him home, a realgped and willing victim. Joaes don’t seethe use’of militia.— “What,” he baled out. “Is better to dis perse a crowd than a good policeman ?” “ A yaller-backed wasp,” shrieked an ur chin in the street. Josephine Jamison, a colored woman, Who died in New York a few days ago, weighed 500 pounds. An immense wooden box served for her coffin, and a fence had to be tom down in order to get her into the street. The Barnwell County Jirnes, of the 14th, says : “ The weather for the pant week has been showery, and we hear several com plaints that the rnst has made its appear ance in the cotton.” At Helena, on the Greenville and Colum bia Railroad, Herrington Mitchell, a fire man, in attempting tc. get upon the train while it was in motion, made a mis-step and fell with both legs across the rail. By taming quickly he saved one limb, but the wheels passed over the other, crushing it in a fearful manner a little below the knee. The American bark Excelsior, with seven hundred and twenty hogsheads of tobacco, valued at $127,500, cleared from the Custom House at Richmond on the 9th inst for Bordeaux, France. GEORGIA NOTES.’ The cottou crop of Morgan county, where well worked, is reported to be flue. The Columbus Sun suggests anew mode of duelling—the use of small champion fire extinguishers. Diugherty county has 23,525 acres of wild lands not returned to the Tax Re ceivers—owners unknown—and 9,038 acres returned. Capt. J. C. Maugham, an old and re spected citizen of Griffin, was stricken with paralysis on the 13th, from which he died on the following day, aged eighty three years. Bruce, son of Jonathan Brace, of Morgan county, was drowned on Satur day, the 9th inst, at the mill pond of Col. Miles W. Lewis, where he was employed. Mr. Fred. MagUl carried off the red plume, as the best drilled member of the Atlanta Cadets on Friday afternoon. The Workingmen’s Protective Union have ruled out the reporters of the city press irorn attendance ou their meeting. Col. James Wilson, living near Bain bridge, surrendered to the sheriff, stating that he had killed a negro on his planta tion in self-defense. t At the meeting of the stockholders of the North and South Railroad, at Columbus, President, MeUougald resigned, and Capt. Thomas E. Blanchard was elected in his place. The Freedmcn’s Savings aud Trust Com pauy’s branch in Macou makes this ex hibit : Total deposits, $281,041 65 ; drafts, $222,757 85 ; due deposits, $58,283 80; open accouut, $1,420. Gen. C. W. Fields, the’ successor of Gen Hood in the command of the famous Hood’s division, is at, present sojourning in Rome, the guest of Hon Dunlap Scott. General Fields is uow the general State agent of the Life Association of America. Sandy Harman, an old colored drayman of Savannah, was kicked in the abdomen by his horse on Thursday morning, and knocked insensible. There is hope for his recovery. Messrs. Ludden & Bates, music dealers of Savannah, have discovered that they have been systematically robbed of about SIOO worth of musical instruments, etc., from time to time. In Atlanta, ou Friday night, a large frame building, store and dwelling com bined, belonging to Mr. Daniel Brogan, was burned. As the building was unoc cupied, the fire is supposed lo have been incendiary. Loss $1,500. The farmers of Houston county had a grand gathering at Fort Valley on Friday.

Phil Cook, of Sumter county, member of Con gress from that Congressional District. |C. O. F., in tlie Baltimore Am* r can. Siiccem* of Americans at Vienna. The goods ou exhibition in the American department continue to command as mush, ii not more attention than those of any other country in the Exposition. They have the merit of their being nearly all novelties, and the only articles of their kind to be found in the Exposition. There are uo fancy goods, and not much of the ornamental, but they partake rather of the necessary and the useful. The apprecia tion of visitors is shown by the fact that, comparatively small as the display is, there are more articles marked “sold” than In the departments of any other conntry. It Is, in fact, the only department in the main building where visitors closely examine everything, for tlie leason that they are mostly articles never before seen in Eu rope, and have been brought here for the leason that they are r.ew. The halls of the American division are poorly deco rated, the display of flags being small, and most of them of a very inferior quality, while every other country is brilliant with silk digs, arranged in the most artistic manner. The exhibitors complain also that they receive no attention from our Minister or the Commissioners, most of whom have long since left Vienna, and are spending the summer Switzerland.— 1 hey say that the Emperor has been more attentive to them than any one else. The American division of the machinery department continues to attract great at tention, aud nearly every piece of machin ery h'S upon it a card with the word “ sold ” large letters. This, of itself, is a mark of appreciation that is un mistakable. So, also, in the American Ag ricultural Building, nearly all the reapers aud mowers are marked “sold,” as well as many of the drills, horse-rakes and plows. Indeed, it is evident that there will be very little of what has q&eon brought here from the United States to be taken back again, and, when at Trieste last week, our Consul told us that one of the vessels that brought the goods over was about to be sent home. The American machinery for the manufac ture of shoes, of which there is a good dis play, attracts great attention. It was in motion to day, and so great was the throng of spectators that we could not get within ten feet of the rail that surrounds it. It is also marked “ sold,” and many orders have been received for similar machines. In photography, the American display not only exceeds that of every other coun try in the way of execution, but the ladies whose likenesses are presented are regard ed aswo..derful specimens of female beauty. Many of them are of life-size, and are pre sented in rich aud tasteful attire, with none of that exposure of the person by low necked dresses which distinguish the Euro pean photographs. fCorrtfipondence of the New York Herald. Gossip About I*io Nono. The Pope’s illness was, from the begin ning, essentially of a rheumatic character. He is now able not only to get about with out the support of the pair of crutches which he used facetiously to call his aid de-camps, but even without leaning upon his walking stick, which is only carried after His Holiness by an attendant when he prolongs his promenade in the long halls of the Library or the’shady alleys of the Vatican garden. Several of my friends hove seen His Holiness quite recently, and they all give me the same account of his returning strength, and, above all, of liis excellent spirits; for although Plus IX, in his public speeches, laments over the pres ent persecution of tlie Church, aDd enumer ates the catastrophes, such as inundations, earthquakes, hailstorms, cholera, dlplithe 'rite, &c., which now afflict Italy, aud are “ undoubted proofs ” of God’s wrath at the conduct qf the present government and the enormities committed by it, in his private conversations the Pope is as cheery and as fond of his joke as ever. THE POPE’S IIAHITB. Moreover, Pius IX. has resumed his usual hours aud mode of living, hearing mass every morning at half past seven, on ly lie does not always, as before his malady, celebrate mass himself first. While lam speaking of the Vatican I may as well mention the singular couvictlou which seems to prevail amoDg its inmates that the days.of the Italian Government are num bered and that its future duration of exist ence will be a very short one. A friend of mine was dining with a prelate in the Vati can on Sunday, and after dinner he paid a few visits to other repidepts there with whom he was acquainted. One of these, whose name and office 1, ont of delicacy, refrain from mentioning, positively assured tny friend that could not last aliove another couple of months. “ You’ll see,” said he, “ one of these fine mornings all these newcomers will have disappeared, and the Pontifical Government will be restored without the least opposition!” Report of tbe United States signal Service Bureau.
