A sraixos letter, says the Richmond
Dispatch, speaks of Mr. Toombs, of

inappropriate description. Wo never
looked upon a more contented counte

Ids very complaints ore uttered in such
good humor that liis “ cussing ” is almost
pleasantry. ....

manner, whilo in the distance the horses

small swords. Mr. Roms.i was twice
wounded in the right or sword arm, when
Dr. C. Board, surgeon, declared that the
fight could not go on. This terminated
the affair.
«city and New Engirt, .
As to damaging the reputation of Ken-
tucky with these loil people that, we take
it, has already l>oen done. Her big Demo
cratic majorities have consigned her long
since to the outer dsrlmea, of moral de-
•ncratr*.;. She van scarcely damage a

sin as that. In oar judgment, then, tho
Courier Journal !ia 'chunking away its
time by raising suA a "hullabaloo over
the Kuklux- It ia poaching, too. on a
special and- pet' preserve of the Grant
papers and stumpers—taking the bre ad
out of their months, as it wero, which is
not at all neighborly.
But we see that the Courier Journal has
gone farther than this. It has aetua lly
entered the field through one of its n ip-
resentatives as an amateur “kuklut”
hunter, and reports in its issuo of Mon-
ilay the capture of two or tlueo of tb pm
by one of its errrrespondents aided by
other amateurs. There being no elections
pending In which Grant feels any pariac*
lar interest, the Federal blood horn ids
have not been let loose, and the Courier-
Journal couldn’t wait. It has taken the
field alone anil shames the professionals
by its seal—which is still more discour
teously and unueighborly. How the
Courier Journal has the heart to do these
thing we cannot understand.
But seriously; May not the Courier-
Journal overdo the thing? May it not,
by its course, do more to accomplish tho
results it fears and deprecates than the
Knklux.’’ so called, ever can ? We have
not a particle of sympathy with or tdlcr-
ation for axcesaos and outrages committed
on account of political differences. Wo de
sire thero shall be an end, speodily and
forever, of all lawless, violent measures
by whomsoever practiced to punish those
whose politics may bo objcctionablo to
tho majegity; but we have had enough
experience of what crimes are committed
in tho name of law, and under color of
Federal legislation to Ik? very eager to set
this machinery in motion. If the State
authorities of Kentucky do not see suffi-
cient grounds for. action, and the
Federal officials, with fho visions of
fat foes and costs to stimulate them
can find no excuse for interference, it
seems to ns n fair presumption that there
is no real cause or necessity for action.
Depend upon it, that if the Kentucky Ku-
klux havo been guilty of half what the
Radical papers charge. Grant will not let
slip such an opportunity to make capital
A wonderful trade is that of petro
leum. Twelve yean ago the first export
sale embraced 250 barrels, and the sale
was heralded aa a ’’largo" one. In 1801
the export of the whole country amounted
to 1,500,000 gallons. In 1872 the export
amounted to 150,000,000 gallons, and
during tbs seven month* of the present
year more than 145,000,000 gallons have I for his administration among his friends
bean exported. The utilization of petro
leum iu the interests of commerce has
been remarkable.

Bah 1 This evasion is too thin. Of
course’ they didn’t pay him the actual

transaction in Judea many years since,
bnt he got the equivalent—the office that

better have kept silent if this is the best
detente of his oondoct be con make.

Wo are afraid tho Courier Journal,
though usually one of the most level
headed papers to be found aDywherc, has
slopped over this time.

Butler, the - bully nnd coward, after-all
his swagger and insolence, quietly laid
himself down in the dirt on Wednesday
and let tho Massachusetts aristocratic
ring wipe their shoes on I him. After
raving and rampaging up and down tho
State, swearing vengeance upon his ene
mies nnd telling the people tho great
things he wan going to do with the ring,
he get* down oriTiix knees in the Worces
ter convention and eats humble pie—ac
knowledges that Washburne is the choice
of the majority of tho party, and that
he^-bold Ben—JonTintind to bolt. Was
thero ever a more ignominious ending to
a braggart's threats ? No whipped cur
over cowered and whimpered more pite
ously than did Butler when he saw by the
preliminary votes in the convention that
his opponents had him by the throat.
Welt, for .our part, we regret that ho
failed. We wanted to see him saddled
upon the bloodthirsty respectabilities of
Massachusetts—those who have hated
and harried us with so much pious unc
tion. They made Butler what ho is, and
.filled their mouth with glowing lauda
tions of his patriotism when he was mu

women down in New Orleans. He was

He, of all men. too, in “Massachusetts,
was the truest representative of tho
spirit and genius of her people during
and since the war. He had a right to
expect recognition and reward for ser
vices to congenial to their bitter passions.
It was only natural that acts whose glory
they had scarcely found words strong
enough to characterua should-appeor to
him worthy the highest Honors they
could beotow. And we think so too. We
have a worse opinion now of Massachu
setts’ gratitude than even of her charity
and fraternal feeling towards the South.
She used this poor bid miscreant when
his services were counted to her renown
among her h>yl sisters, bnt when he asks
his reward .-.he shows him the door. IV e
don't pity Butler, l et we do have aa
added contempt for Massachusetts.

that he had been "ordered” by one E.

Vert Pooh Class of Fun.—In the
store of Mr. W. H. Denson, at Seale, on
Monday evening, Mr. Hodo, “just in fun,”
drew a loaded six shooter, cocked and
presented at Mr. John Vann, in close
proximity to his person, when Mr. Vaun,
not relishing such fun, pushed the weapon
away, when it “went off," tho lull pass
ing through tho right breast of the coat,
near tho collar-bone, of Mr. Win. Strong,
who was standing within two feet of the
weapon. Poor "fun” that for Vaun and
Strong.

The note was postmarked "Macon, Geo.,
Ang. 31, 5cts.” It was read in Council,
and created considerable merriment. As
a reminder of old times, and with the
Doctor’s permission, we reproduce it. The
address is "To the Mayor of the city of

Can It Be True ?
Teeter-In y’s nr--a telegrams from New
York announce, on the authority of a dis

is imminent between Gov. Smith and ei-
Goy. John-'On, growing out of, we sup
pose. taa ir late differences, of which the
public have been advised through the
voluminous correspondence published a
short while since. We have heard noth
ing of it in Georgia, though it seems to
bo well understood that a private corres

them tor some weeks—t-TSF since, in fact,
the ex-Governor’t last letter to Gov. S.
It is to be regretted that these difference*
have art long since tan settled, and we
trust tiiey will be without a resort to the
code. \t e have, however, grave doubts
as fo tho correctness of the dispatch—at
least as to a duel being “imminent.” If
matters had gone that far, it wonld ect-

A Max Falls Under a Train and is
Badlt Injured.—Yesterday morning as
the 4.15 outward bound train on the
Charlotte, Columbidand Augusta railroad
was passing along Washington street,
near the Medical College. Mr. J. B. Hoke
and a friend, both from Columbia, S. C.,
and carpenters in the employ of the road,
attempted to jump on one of the plat
forms with the intention of riding as far
as Broad street. Mr. Hoko was unfortu-
nat.-ly tripp.-l up by a pile of sand, and
fell under tho train, the wheels of one
truck of which passed over his left
foot, crushing it in a horrible man
ner. His right leg was also brok
en between the knee and ankle, by
striking, it is supposed, against the ear,
as there was no indication of its having
been run over by tho wheels. Although
so painfully injured. Mr. Hoke still re
mained conscious and managed to crawl
from beneath the train before tho wheels
of the next truck reached him. Mr.
Hoke’s friend immediately dispatched a
messenger for a physician, and with the
assistance of a policeman placed the
wounded man on a stretcher and carried
him to the City Hospital, near by. The
left foot, which was crushed into an almost
shapeless mass, was amputated just
above the ankle, by Dr. Coleman, assisted
by Drs. Doughty nnd R. C. Eve, between
six and seven o’clock. Several pieces of
bone were also removed from the right
leg. It is thought that there will be
no necessity for amputating the latter.
The patient was doing as well as could be
expected yesterday afternoon.
Another (supposed) mad dog was
killed at Augusta on Wednesday ofter-
noon-»the third this season.
The Savannah Advertiser and Repub
lican says*a draft for $4,012 on Osgood,
tho late postmaster of that city, was re
cently forwarded to the present post
master, with orders to collect at once.
This shows that Osgood is just that
amount behind with the “ best govern,
ment,” etc.
SONETHIN3 FOR THE BoTS.—The Au-
gusia Constitutionalist, under tho above
head, makes " a few remarks,” as follows
A widowed lady, living not many miles
om Augusta,has three sous, aged respec
tively 19,14 and 12 years. All of them
attend school at the Richmond Academy,
and are attentive to their scholastic du
ties. Every Saturday of last year, b;
plowing and hoeing, with no outside aid
they cultivated a portion of the land
around their mother’s home. The first
boy attended to two acres, the second
one acre and the third a half acre in cot
ton. The eldest boy made two bags of
cotton, weighing 467 pounds each. The
second hoy made one bale weighing
460 pounds. The youngest made 150
pounds of lint cotton. During Ust
winter, they broke two small steers,
and, with the assistance of a horse, used
in attending school, they hauled from the
adjacent woods an abundance of leaves
and litter. This material, with 400 lbs.
per acre of Dickson’s compound, they ap
plied to the poor land they had the use of.
The present cropof theeldest boy is three
and a half acres of cotton. The two
younger boys have the same acreage as
last year. The probabilities are that the
eldest boy will make three and a half
bales: the second boy one 500 pound
bale ; and the youngest boy 250 pounds
of lint cotton. Meanwhile, they haTe
been punctual in their attendance at
school, except for a period daring the
summer, when the younger boys were at
tacked with measles. At the time of
their sickness they hired a hand to do
their hoeing. Outside of this inevitable
help all the labor has been done by them
selves. During -vacation they have
been busy picking out their crop,
and on SatunbiY they complete the gath-
j eriags. These boys undertook this plant-
' jug scheme of their own free will, and car
et. J it out with judgment and dexterity,
whil*? other boys were idling. They are
not obliged to work, but they are indus-
XEW YORK HOTELS.
The Grand Central—Its Prc-cml-
ncnce and Popularity.
Art,and the rarest devices of architect-
lire both ancient and modern, have well
nigh been exhausted m. the construction
and appointments of—those palaces for
the traveler, which adorn the metropolis
of the Union. These are adapted to the
wants of all occupations and every grade
in society.. Tho proud aristocrat has his
hotel, the more modest business man his
favorite retreat, fie foreigner, tourist,
and invalid all their chosen aboles.
But there i3 one structure so happilv
contrived and managed as to satisfy .all
these classes, and derive munificent pat
ronage from each. We allude to the
Grand Central Hotel, on Broadway.
This immense edifice combines every
known convenience and appliancegshich
modern ingenuity has devised for the
comfort of tHfe visitor. Not only are the
chambers;'furniture, attendance, table,
and arrangements against dire, complete
and unexceptionable, but the guest is en
tertained with an unaffected heartiness
and cordiality which at once enlists his
good opinion. The most recherche and
fastidious, tourist can find no room for
complaint, .while those of unobtrusive
manners and simple tastes, also, are made
to feel quite at home. In short, the Grand
Central.bai attained to that happy blend-
"iflg'of elegance with simplicity, which
constitutes the true charm of social life,
and hence ite widespread popularity.
It is a well known fact, too, that the
Grand Exchange of this hotel is the resort
of multitudes of the business men of New
York. Here merchants, drummers,
strangers and hankers congregate in the
evening, and the scene is animating and
lively in the extreme. Thousands change
hands in the transactions agreed upon,
arrangements to sell goods are perfected,
acquaintances formed, the pecuniary
status of merchants decided, business ap
pointments made, and really there is an
informal mingling of all the exchanges of
the city in this one common arena.
Especially also, is it the rendezvous and
rallying point of Southrons and the
Southern trade. No hotel in the city,
perhaps, offers so many inducements to
tho traveling public, and in Mr. Powers,
the gentlemanly proprietor, gueste are
never permitted to want for aught.

Sr. Louis, September 11.—The Times
has a special from the chairman of the
German Evacuation of France
The evacuation of French territory is
nearly completed. Everywhere the con
quered have refused to become reconciled
to their conquerors. As the German
troops march out, the streets are silent
and deserted; the windows closed; hard
ly a face is to be seen. Five minutes
after they havo left, the streets are alive
with chattering citizens, and the houses
gay and flaunting with the brilliant flags
of France. But the Germans have their
consolation, and the gloom they leave be
hind them has its silver lining in the sun
shine of their nativa cities. Take Augs
burg as seen by a correspondent of the
Boston Advertiser on August 4. On
that day Augsburg, usually the most
placid of cities, roused itself. Three
thousand fathers, brothers, husbands
and sons were coining home from
a three years’ visit to France. They
were coining back, too, with wreaths of
victoiy on their banners—and what less
could Augsburg do than receive them
with the honors due to conquerors?
livery street was hung with banners and
with flowers. The black, white and red of
U nited Germany floated everywhere beside
theblueandwhiteofBavaria. Therewere
flags and streamers and festoons in such
number that the frescoed fronts of the
old houses were almost hidden, and where
they did show, looked dull enough in
contrast to the bright hues of the decora
tions. Hanging from eveiy window was
a wreath of flowers or evergreens, and
some of them .had mingled with

Burrows’ Boy Made Useful.

wife that he had stopped permanently.
But one evening, upon entering fie front
door and drawing out his handkerchief,
he accidentally polled out his paper of
tobacco, and, without noticing it, left it
lying on the floor. When Burrows sat
down to tea, his wife walked in with the
tobacco in her hand, and looking Bur

NIGHT DISPATCHES.
The Polaris.
St. Johns, September 11.—On the 1-lth
of August the Tigress passed Cape Alex
ander aiid Port I’oulko. «Lt was now all
daylight »and a rock -in tho ricinifcy of
Cape Olsen was recognized by Capt. Ti-
son as the same rock that hid the Polaris
from the view of the party on the ice floe.
The vessel was here stopped by order of
the Comxaodote, when the sound of human
voices was- heard ih the distance. A 1
was instantly lowered. It was about 9
o’clock in the evening, and amid the great
est excitement Commodore Greer exclai:
ed, “I see their house; two tent? are
clearly perceptible and moving human
figures can be seen on main land near
Littleton Island.”
There was considerable exultation on
board at this announcement. In an hour
afterwards the boat returned from shore,
but only brought disappointment to the
eager crowd that awaited intelligence.
Capt. Buddingtonand hi3 party had gone
south in the middle of June last in two
boats, hoping to meet a friendly whaling
vessel to carry them to Newfoundland.
The boat of the Tigress was ogam
maimed, accompanied thi.- time by Com
mand’r Green r.nd Esquimaux Joe, as in

where they found ajiousc abandoned and
presenting a scene of the wildest confu
sion. broken nautical instruments lay
on the" floor, while fne remains of 4 muti
lated lo" book were scattered, about in
every direction* The Esquimaux had
come from Pond’s bay, and had remained
with the Buddington party all winter.
The house contained a store-room, ^ a
ship’s galley stove, and tables and chairs
taken from tbe Polaris. Th uv were
fourteen bunks arranged al<?ng each side
of the chief apartment. Only a half hour

A Compliment to the Butler Babble.
Boston*, September 11.—Commenting
upon tho defeat of Butler yesterday, the
Advertiser says: “It i3 hardly known yet
whether Gen. Butler and his champions
were a squad or an army when they
started out on their expedition. They
had a fine time for a day or two—every
thing their own way. Nobody was look
ing out for them. They not only pro
posed to take Massachusetts, but declared
that they had captured Washington, New
York, Long Branch, Kansas and all the
outlying provinces, and it really looked
something like it.
The convention yesterday, not only un
deceived the people of Massachusetts in
this respect, but wo trust the Federal
administration, whose confidence has been
abused, and whose generosity lias been
abused in riotous living.”
The Pig Packers.
Chicago, September 11.—The pork
^ackers* convention has adopted a reso-
ution declaring that the rules and regu
lations adopted by the convention shall

adopt more stringent measures for the
prevention of accidents in the future.

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
Remarkable Elephant.
This is from Leisure Hours: The fol
lowing anecdote was related by Major
Brown, of the Fortieth regiment, to the
late Mr. Stephen Bound, of New Windsor,
Berks: During tho siege of Pondicherry,
in tho East Indies, by the British army,
when M. Lally was Governor there, there
were in the French garrison several war
elephants, all of which except one died
from tho scarcity of provisions, and the
survivor would have shared the fate of
his companions, but for his uncommon sa
gacity, which rendered him a favorite
with every one and the object of general
admiration. This animal, in the absence
of his keeper, was one day amusing him*
self with his chain in an open part of the
town when a manwliohad'committo>l theft,
and* was pursued by a great number of peo
ple, despairing of all other means of safety,
ran for protection under tho elephant.
Apparently delighted with the poor
wretch’s confidence, tho creature in
stantly faced about and met the crowd,
rected hi3 trunk and threw his chain in
the air, as is the manner of these ani
mals when engaged with the enemy, and
became so furious in defenco of the crim
inal that, notwithstanding all the gentle
arts made use of by the surrounding
multitude, neither they, nor even his
mahout or driver, to whom he ^as fondly
attached, and who was sent for to man
age him, could prevail with him to
give up the malefactor. The contest
had continued for ‘about three hours,
when at length tho Governor, hearing
tho strange account of it, came to the
spot, and wa3 so much pleased with the
gorerous perseverance of the honest
quadruped that he yielded to the ele
phant’s interposition and pardoned the
criminal. Tho poor man, in an ecstacy
of gratitude, testified hia acknowledg
ments by kissing and embracing the i)ro-
boscis of his kind benefactor, who was
apparently so sensible of what had hap
pened that, laying aside all his former
violence, ho became perfectly tame and
gentle in an instant, and suffered his
keeper to conduct him away without tho
smallest resistance.

all'reference to the death of Capt. Hall
being «ktetr--y.--l. With the ..’Xe-.-ptr-n of
a tom memorandum, to continue the
search for the north pole. Nothing of im
portance was discovered.
The Esquimaux pointed out tho spot
where the Polaris had sunk, and stated
that Capt. Buddington had given them
the ship, but that when the ice broke in
the middle of July she floated into a small
cove nnd went down. A small ice berg
hnd grounded on the wreck, which was
in about nine fathoms of water. No at
tempt appears to have been made to ex
amine the position of the- wreck, and
nothing wa3 ascertained as to how the
winter^ was passed, the whereabouts of
the missing- men, or how they spent their
time Hie waiting far the ice to break up.
The entire time of the Tigress in the
neighborhood of Littleton Island was
only five hours. T:.-.- Esquimaux were
not sufficiently interrogated. "When first
seen from the deck of the Tigress, these
people were in the uniform of the sailors
of the United States navy ; but they sub
sequently changed their clothes and
donned their Esquimaux apparel.
The Esquimaux, moreover, had but
little provisions, their food being nearly
all consumed. Neither had they any
boats. Under these circumstances,
through the medium of Dusky Joe, they
asked to be taken on board the Tigress;
but Commander Green declined to allow
them to do so. After the boat had re
turned to the Tigress, three cheers were
riven for homeward.
° The assistant ice pilot reported an Ice
blink fifteen miles off, and the vessel was
hastily headed south at fifteen minutes
past two o’clock this morning, after an
imperfect search and leaving the unfor
tunate Esquimaux behind to battle with
fate.
Instead of crossing to the westward of
Cape York and following the probable
track of Buddington’s party towards
Pensbury, the Tigress returned toUpper-
rarik on the 19th of August and arrived
at Godhaven, Disco, on the 23th.

Cheap Transportation.
New York,September 11.—The Senate
committee on transportation met this
morning. All the members were present.
Several prominent railroad officials were
in attendance. Senator Windham was
appointed chairman of the meeting, and,
opening it, he stated its object at con
siderable length, saying that it was for
•the purpose of procuring cheaper rates of
transportation than those at present exist
ing, Some of the committee expressed a
wish that the railroad officials present
would make statements with regard to
the matter. Mr. Hays, of the Blue Line
freight, wa3 then examined at considera
ble length, and detailed the whole man
ner in wHeh rates wero regulated.
Custom receipts were $601,000 to-day.

At a meeting of the creditors of the
New York Warehouse and Security Com
pany to-day, a committee was appointed
to consider the expediency of giving the
company an extension of time to extri
cate themselves from their present em
barrassment.
Swift Justice.
Philadeli-hia, September 1L—A case
of swift justice occurred in Quarter Ses
sions to-day. E. Johnson, alias E. Jor
dan, was arrested at Louisville, Ky., and
brought to this city this morning, on
the charge of embezzling books, news
papers, etc., belonging to Biley & Sar-
geant, general news agents, at the West
Philadelphia depot. Johnson was ar
raigned, trjod and convicted during the
morning.
George Mitchel, alias Aaron Mitchell,
also convicted of the same crime, and John
Green, charged with the same offense,
jumped bail and are at large, with detec
tives on their track. Mitchell was sen
tenced to four months and Johnson to
three years.
Aid for Shreveport.
St. Louis, September 11.—Twelve hun
dred dollars was raised in a few minutes
on ’change, this morning, for the sick
and suffering people of Shreveport, La.,
and a committee of prominent merchants
appointed to solicit subscriptions for the
same purpose. It ia expected that a
handsome sum will be raised.
Point re Races.
Mortgaging a Wife.
Chinese Shylock owning several
pounds of flesli lias been cited beforfe the
San Francisco Courts. A Chinaman got
into a tight place, borrowed fifty dollars
and mortgaged his wife for its repayment.
The note became due, and the shop
man could not pay. The wife was for
feited ccording to agreement and custonv
and the creditor foreclosed the mortgage,
and proved himself inexorable. He had
become entitled to several pounds of flesh
according to tho bond, and expressed a
solemn determination to stand by the
bond. The woman was -already in his
possession, but she appears to have had
very serious objections to the full con
summation of this peculiar Chinese busi
ness transaction. She managed to break
away from her keeper, and went straight
way to the courts with her Of
course the courts ignored the forms of
business by which she t*u> to be sacri
ficed, and the wise judge ton! her to go
home and pledge herself no more for a
money consideration. She went her way
rejoicing, and now Chee Wang is happy
with her husband Ah Sam, and the cred
itors Ah Kowis fully convinced that thero
is no security in woman.
Ben. Butler Speculating iii
Mississippi Bonds.
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.]
Washington, September 7.—Specula
tions regarding the motive or object of
General Butler’s letter making inquiries
of tho authorities in Mississippi as to tho
number, character, etc., of the bonds of
that State, havo been indulged in various
quarters, and tho conclusion arrived at—
which seems to be based upon careful in
vestigation—is, Butler and some of his
friends and followers pumoso buying up,
at their present low prices the bonds and
other securities of Mississippi, as an
ostensible proof of confidence in the abil
ity of that State to pay ita own indebted
ness. One of the objects in buying
up those securities is said to be
to assist General Ames, Butler's
son-in-law, in his contest for tho
Governorship of Mississippi, in addition
to the equally or more important purpose
of enabling the parties interested in the
scheme to make large sums of money. It is
alleged that Butler is one of the members
of Congress who favor the assumption by
the Federal government of the debts of
the Southern States, and that he has pre
pared a bill for presentation in Congress
proposing such assumption. Even if this
bill should not* receive the serious atten
tion of Congress, the actual presentation
to that body of a measure of this kind is
expected to have sufficient good effect to
produce an increase in the price of the
bonds, and enable these speculators to
sell out at a profit.
Geeat Bailway Scheme.—Mr. J. M.
Hines, of Texarkana, was in tho city yes
terday, and from him we gather the fol
lowing facts: Col. Thomas A. Scott has
secured a loan of $100,000,000 in Europe
to complete the Southern Pacific Eailway.
This road will stretch from San Diego,
California, to New York, and the negotia
tion of this loan insures its completion
within the next three years. Mr. Hines
