The Maas Troupe.
At Girardey’s Opera House, this
evening, the Maas troupe will com
mence an engagement. Their pro
gramme is a varied one, embracing
orchestral and brass band perform
ances, caricaturing, vocal and instru
mental novelties, variety acting, and
burlesque. This appears to be an en
tertainment suited to all tastes, and
calculated to draw a large audience.
For Florida.
We learn that a number of persons
from this city will visit Florida very
soon and, to induce a larger number
than otherwise would go, the Port
Royal Railroad has reduced the pas
senger rates, which will prove a great
advantage to gentlemen desiring to
take their families.
Would it not be well to mako up an
excurson party to visit Florida—going
via the Port Royal Railroad, to Savan
nah, thence to Jacksonville *by boat —
either the “Lizzie Baker” or “Dicta
tor.” The accomodations of a homo
are afforded on these first class
steamers with the best of fare and
politest of officers.
The De Murska Concert.
There was a very large and fashion
able audience, last evening, at the
Opera Many of our lady friends
are keeping Lent; but could not resist
•the pleasure of hearing the celebrated
Mdlle De Murska.
The opening trio of piano, violoncello
and violin was handsomely rendered,
and to those skilled in music must have
been a great treat.
Signor Ferranti captivated the au
dience by his hearty, genial appearance,
before he had essayed a single note.
His rendition of the buffo song of
“LTnvrito Alla Danza” was inimitably
delightful, displaying wonderful com
pass of voice as well as dramatic power.
Wo heard one enthusiastic gentleman
say the Signor would be “ a jolly fellow
to have at a bird supper”—and so he
would—but he shows, morei conspicu
ously on the lyric stage. His conclud
ing duet with Mdlle De Murska was
rapturously received.
Signor Braga is eyidently a master
of his instrument, the violoncello. We
did not think such soft and tender
strains could be drawn from it.
Mons Sauret handled the violin with
a force and delicacy of touch truly ad
mirable.
Mdlle De Murskfffcang the grand aria
from “ Linda,” the “ Carnival of Ven
ice,” “ Hungarian Songs,” “La Melan
cholia,” and shared with Signor Fer
ranti the triumphs of the concluding
duet. Her vocalization is fluent, full
of power, and yet tender beyond de
scription. She did with her voice
pretty much as she pleased, and ac
complished tho moat surprising and
difficult passages with an ease and
brilliancy which oompelled the won
der, astonishment and plaudits of
the audience.
Mr. Pratt’s accompaniments on the
piano were tasteful and sympathetic.
The piano played upon was one of
Knube’s famous instruments.
The desire has been expressed that
Mdlle. De Murska shall favor us with
another concert, and we would be glad
indeed if she could be prevailed upon
to do so.

IKE HOOPER.
Arrangements for the Execution To-
Day. No Outsiders to be Allowed in
the Jail Yard. Condition of the
Condemned Man.
The execution of Ike Hooper, the
colored man who killed Howard Sat
terwhite, another colored man, in De
cember, 1873, will take place to-day
between 11 and 3 o’clock, in the jail
yard. The scaffold was erected yes
terday in the southwest corner of the
yard, in rear of the kitchen. It must
have been a melancholy sound {to
Hooper to hear the hammering and
driving of the nails in the boards upoq
which he knew he was to stand to-day
before being launched into Eternity !
Hooper is a convert to the Catholic
Church and has been faithfully attend
ed by the Priests of St Patrick’s
Church. Since feis last sentence Father
Lechner has been attending him as his
spiritual adviser. A few days since
Hooper was confirmed as a member of
the Cathoiic Church, the solemn cere
mony being performed by Bishop Gross,
in the jail. This morning a solemn
High Mass will be celebrated at the
jail previous to the execution of the
condemned man.
The execution will be entirely pri
vate, none being admitted to the jail
-yard but the relations of Hooper and
other persons designated by himself
and the Sheriff of the county, with his
consent. A strong police force will be
in attendance to preserve order.
Hooper yesterday appeared to be in
his usual spirits, seemingly resigned
to the awful fate which awaits him to
day. He is affected when death is
mentioned to him, but reposes his
whole trust in religion. He is not at
all demonstrative, but appreciates his
situation with the composure of a per
son of intelligence. He apparently had
some hope of a reprieve previous to
the receipt of the dispatch to
the* Sheriff denying the applica
tion *of his counsel, M. P. Foster,
Esq., and the petition of citizens pray
ing for Executive clemency. Upon the
receipt of an adverse answer being
communicated to him last Tuesday, he
was visibly affected, but afterward
said he was resigned to his fate.
After the execution the body will be
turned over to the relatives of Hooper
for burial.

According to the Griffin News, mem
bers of the Legislature are “ making
a good thing by leasing out their free
passes on the railroads.” The Colum

looked into. It should also ascer

passes, and thus paying no traveling
expenses, charge the State for “ mile
age.” '
Columbus had a bloody tragedy the
other day. Peter Finnegan horribly
butchered Charles Wilding.
There seems to be no doubt of the
fact that Dr. Hicks can claim the chief
glory of electing the Democratic Sena
tor. We quote as follows from the
Floridian:
In the great contest of 1860, on which
hung the destinies of all the people and
the nation, Mr. Jones stood as a Doug
lass Democrat, in support of Stephen
A. Douglass and Herschel V. Johnson,
as contradistinguished from that wing
of the great National Democracy rep
resented in the campaign by Brecken
ridge and Lane. From that position,
as well as from his personal antece
dents as a native of Ireland, after the
close of the war that followed, he con
sistently assumed an attitude still de
cidedly Democratic, yet free from the
bitter animosities and prejudices of ex
tremists, whether Democrats or Repub
licans. entertaining liberal views as to
the new issues evolved by the war,
without revengeful feeling in any direc
tion. Hence, no sooner was his name
brought forward in the Legislature as a
candidate for the Senate than the Lib
eral and Southern Republicans, for the
most part, with a man of splendid ge
nius, and brilliant powers, and noble
impulses, and high moral determina
tions as their leader in the Assembly,
resolved to sustain him and to fasten
victory on his brow, provided the thir
ty-seven Democratic votes on joint
ballot would sustain him and bring his
election within the reach of the ma
jority they would bring to him. Ac
cordingly, immediately following the
first ballot in his favor, more than a
week prior to his final election, the
Hon. W. W. Hicks rose in his place in
behalf of the Liberal and Southern Re
publicans and renominated him, and
on that day he would have been elect
ed but lor the intervention of par
tisan interests, pardonable, perhaps,
to zealous personal friendships in other
directions that procrastinated the
struggle. At length, however, the lofty
sense of patriotism and devotion of
duty on the part of the gentlemen to
whom wo refer, and who are surely
esteemed by us as few uea are, over
c®mo their generous fidelity to private
affection and led to the concentration
on Thursday hist of the whole force of
the Democratic party upon him ; when
Dr. Hicks and the Liberal and Southern
Republicans at once closed the issue,
which was also joined in to the delight
of many, by a manifestation of liberal
sentiments on the part of Governor
Stearns himself, through the additional
vote of one of his principal Republican
friends.
JOCKEY CLUB RACES.
Third Day—Races of Yesterday—An
other Day of Sport—Crown Prince
and Mattie O. the Winning Horses—
Trotting Races To-day—Pools Sold.
The weather yesterday was not so
bright or pleasant as anticipated, be
ing cloudy with a rather sharp breeze
blowing across the grounds during the
afternoon, but notwithstanding this
there was fully as large, if not a larger
crowd present, yesterday afterdoon, at
the Fair Grounds to witness the races
arranged for the occasion than on the
day before. Three o’clock was the
hour announced for the commence
ment of the races, and by that time
there was a stream of people coming
through the gate, the street cars being
filled on th6ir down trips. A. large
, number of carriages containing ladies
entered the grounds, and their occu
pants seemed to take considerable in
terest in the contests, many of the
ladies being quite discriminating in
their views of the merits of the differ
ent horses participating in the two
races.
FIRST RACE.
Three mile dash for all ages—purse
8300. First horse to receive 8250;
second horse to receive 830
Entries—J. H. Morgan enters c. h.
Crown Prince, four years old, by As
teroid, dam Kate Anderson, by imp
Sovereign. Colors white’and black.
Lewis Jones enter c. g. Jim Hinton,
aged, by Rodgers, dam Madam House,
by imp. Leviathan. Colors blue and
yellow.
At the bugle call Jim Hinton wa3 the
first to put in an appearance, soon fol
lowed by Crown Prince, and aftef the
preliminary canter they were surround
ed by their admirers, each of whom
had some nice theory as to why their
favorites should win. While this was
going on the Judges ordered the
jockeys to be weighed, and soon after
gave the order to saddle.
At the tap of the drum Jim Hinton
went to the front and so continued to
the end of the first mile. Entering
into the second mile, Crown Prince
moved up a little closer as if to go by,
but considered his position good
enough and remained in the rear to the
finish of the second mile. When next
they made their apperance from behind
Mechanic’s Hall, Crown Prince had
taken close order, and soon after gave
Hinton the go by, and continued to in
crease his lead to the finish running a
good race in fine style and good time,
and coming under the string about
two lengths ahead of Jim Hinton.—
Time 5:43%.
SECOND RACE.
Mile heats—best 3in s—for all ages.
First horse to receive 8250, second
horse to receive 830, third horse to re
ceive 820.
Entries—Lewis Jones enters ch. f.

Little Ella, by Lexington. Colors ma
roon.
Flud & Cash enter b. m. Mattie 0.,
5 years old, by U 1 vers ton. Colors red
and white.
FIRST HEAT.
In the choice of positions for this
heat Flower had the inside, Rut
ledge second, and Mattie O. third.
Flower Girl took the lead on the first
quarter, but Rutledge gained on her
until the two were nearly neck and
neck, on the second quarter, Mattie O.
keeping up the distance made between
herself and the front horses on the
first quarter, and did not seem to lose
much, if any, throughout the heat—it
appearing impossible for her to re
trieve her lost ground. Rutledge .and
Flower Girl kept well together around
the lower turn to the fourth quarter,
when the former took the lead and
came in ahead under the string with
Flower Girl second, and Mattie O.
third. Time—l:sl.
Pools rated as follows after the first
heat :
Mattie 30 30 30 20
Flower Girl 20 18 20 9
Rutledge 5 6 5 5
Total 55 44 55 34
SECOND HEAT.
After two or three ineffectual starts
the horses came up well, and got off in
fair style—Rutledge leading, Flower
Girl and Mattie O. neck and neck.
These positions were kept, on the first
quarter, and coming around Mechan
ic’s Hall, Flower Girl was observed
making a masterly effort to catch up
with Rutledge, and succeeded in get
ting almost even with him about the
center of the third quarter, at the end
of Floral Hall, Rutledge seeming
to reserve his powers for the
last half mile, but Mattie O.
coming up bravely to her work
on the third quarter, and getting
even with the others, caused them to
put out all their strength. Mattie con
tinued to advance, though, and when
the animals appeared from behind the
building, approaching the home stretch,
Mattie was leading, with Rutledge close
behind and Flower Girl in tfferear, and
on the Vay home she gained inch by
inch, coming under the string fully a
length and a half ahead of Rutledge,
with Flower Girl two lengths behind
the horse. Time of second heat 1:54,%,
Mattie winning the heat, Rutledge
second and Flower Girl third.
Pools rated as follows after the
second heat:
Mattie 0 20 45 25 20
Field 7 10 10 7
THIRD HEAT.
The horses made a splendid start at
at the tap of the drum, Mattie O. inside,
Flower Girl second and Rutledge out
side. Half way to Mechanic’s Hall
Flower Girl shot ahead, and when the
horses appeared from behind the build
ing there was about two lenghts dis
tance between them, .Flower Girl
leading, Mattie O, next, Rutledge last.
Mattie endeavored to increase the dis
tance until they reached the turn at
Floral Hall when she began to creep
up, Rutledge still keeping in the rear.
As they appeared around the next turn
and neared the home stretch, the dis
tance between each of the trio was
somewhat shortened, and coming home
Mattie O. came up bravely to her
competitor, and just passed her as
they approached the stand—Rutledge
coming down steadily to his work,
kept his distance with the others.
Coming toward the stand it \vas a most
lively contest between the two mares —
Mattie’s rider, as he distanced Flower
Girl, and took the inside, looking be
hind at his companion each second,
and plying whip and spur, came
under the string a length and a half
ahead of Flower Girl, with Rutledge
closing up the rear—winning the heat.
Time, 1:48%.
Under the rule, Flower Girl, not hav
ing won a heat in this race, had to go
to the stables, and only two horses
started in the fourth heat.
FOURTH HEAT.
Mattie O. and Rutledge started off
beautifully on the first trial, the form
er taking the lead and keeping it
throughout the heat. On the first
quarter neither rider seemed desirous
of letting out fully, but at the end of
the second and beginning of the third
quarter both settled down to it and
displayed their full powers, though it
seemed impossible for Rutledge to
catch up, and Mattie O. came under
the string about one length ahead,
winning the heat and race. Time,
1:59%.
The races were fine indeed, and gave
full satisfaction to all who were pres
ent.
to-day’s programme.
At the meeting of the Jockey Club
last night Major Lewis Jones stated
that a movement was on foot to raise a
special purse for the races of Satur
day. Action on the matter was post
poned until to-day, when a meeting of

The Postal Scale Contract.
We recently alluded to the fact that
the award of the contract for Post
Office Scales to Messrs. Fairbanks &
Cos. had given satisfaction to the trade
and the public generally. The follow
ing communication is important in this
connection:
Washington, D. C., Jan. 30, 1875.
To the Editor of the N. Y. Express :
Sir : In a late number of your paper
I notiee an article headed
“LARGEST SCALE CONTRACT EVER AWARDED.”
In this you refer to the fact that
3,000 or 4,000 post offices had to be
supplied with scales in a very short
space of time, and the satisfaction it
gave the public generally that the con
tract was given to the “champion scale
makers of the world,” Fairbanks &
Cos. As the officer in charge of the
distribution of these thousands of
scales, by order of the Postmaster
General, I take pleasure in report
ing the result—not that any new
event can add to the now world
wide fame of the Fairbanks’ Standard
Scales. You say “this is the largest
contract for Scales ever awarded,” to
which I add that it has its parallel
shown in the capability and energy
with which it Was carried out. The
Department’s order and lists designat
ing the kind of scale and offices to be
supplied, found every scale of the
thousands required made, boxed and
ready for shipment.
To the letter of the advertisement
was the contract filled, and but one
voice comes like an echo back from
the people all over the country, and
that is all are satisfied and gratified
that they are furnished with scales of
the reliable brand of the house of
Fairbanks. “ Honor to whom honor is
due.” Respectfully,
N. A. Gray.

Assisting Nature.
Itisof.no use attempting to force
nature. She won’t stand it, and rebels.
She must be coaxed, as it were, not
driven. For instance, in attempting to
overcome constipation or indigestion,
violent, or what physicians call, by way
of euphony, “heroic” treatment, is sure
to defeat the purpose in view, which is,
or should be, to permanently remedy
the evil. The use of drastic cathartics
is especially to be deprecated, for al
though they temporarily overcome cos
tiveness, yet the intestines are so
weakened and inflamed by them as to
be rendered unfit to perform the ejec
tive function properly. "How much
better to fissist nature in such a case
with such a mild and salutary aperient
as Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which
strengthen at the same time that they
relieve the bowels. Not only is this
result achieved by their use, but the
activity of the torpid liver is restored,
the stomach invigorated, and the en
tire system greatly benefited.

mHE EVIDENCE presented In the statements of the respectable and intelligent plant-
JL era of the surrounding counties will satisfy Southern men that this CONCENTRA
TED CHEMICAL FERTILIZER may claim to be equal, if not superior to any in the
market; that being composed of a base of raw-bone, decomposed with Sulphuric Add
and a combination of Chemicals, it is devoid of the enormous amount of inert matter
which all Phosphate Rock preparations must contain; and that it presents the best
guarantee of a large profitable return, as testified to by all who have used it. We refer
to our Pamphlets for this evidence, as it is too voluminous for our advertisement. The
preparation is varied in composition to meet the condition of I;he two great classes of
our soils:
Our C. FERTILIZER adapted to Olay Soils.
Our G. FERTILIZER adapted to Sandy Soils.

PERFECT AND ENTIRE SATISFACTION,
And we how offer it again with renewed assurances of its great value.

TRY THE PEERLESS!
We warrant its standard to be fully equal! to that hitherto
