British Medical Association by Dr. Mc
Cormack, urging that-chloroform or some
other anesthetic be employed to -toltify
the sensei of the brutes in the slaughter

is thought the application of these to
unreasoning animals would be more dis-
11resting than speedy death from an unex
pected shot or blow.
It is a pity that more seal and legisla
tion. too, could not be exhibited in behalf
of living and working creatures, sentient
and otherwise, which are daily put to the
torture in our streets and work-shops.
Better put a stop first to the maltreat
ment of apprentices, seamen and soldiers,
and then come to the rescue of the poor
home and ox. Some quadrupeds do duty
in this city whose whole existence is m,An
up of privations, blows and abuse, while
their wretched carcasses bear painful evi
dence of the cruelty of their owners.

The Blakely Extension Again.
Blakelt, September 15,1873.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Jn
your issue of the 12th initaat appears an
anonymous rommuni-atic-a. purporting to

who subscribes himself “Justice"—a word
which evidently exists more as a nom de

tleman referred to.
With the people of this county the
question of the extension of the railroad
from Albany to Blakely is one of vital im
portance-one that rises above the petty
wranglings of distempered individuals:
stock is driven to the stalls. The ya and calmly addresses itself as a question

acl wateted without the trouble of driv-1 not more on account of rta flagrant inac
curacies than of the manifest spirit in
which it is writ: rn. An entire want of
information is evident in every statement
of “Justice” from his commencement to
his conclusion, and, was ignorance a
pleadable excuse he might well claim a
palliation for the ore-nee which he com
mit s against the people among whom he
lives—or professes to live, about which,

More Currency l'or tlic South.
Mr. John Jay Knox, Comptroller of the
Currency, reports that it is probable that
all the national hanks that have applied
for currency will shortly deposit their
bonds and obtain their circulation under
the recent call. A letter from Washing
ton further reports Mr. Knox a. follows:
“He believes that the whole of the cir
culation authorized by the act of July 12
1870, will l>e itaued before the meeting of
Congress, whereupon he will make requi
sition upon the eastern lank* for the
withdrawal of $25,000,000 of their cur
rency. to he distributed in the Western
and Southern States, as provided by this
act. He considers the provision in the
law relative to this withdrawal as manda
tory upon him, and not discretionary, turd
that the requisition of the eastern bonks
will plarn the currency question under
thdt law in such condition that Congress
will take immediate action upon the sub
ject, either by repealing the fith section
of the act, or by passing a law author
ising the issue of an lulditioual $25,000,-
000 for the YVest and South, as proposed
in his lust report, or by both."
True Charity.
Some four or five weeks ago n woman
employed at the shirt factory of C. C.
Davies A Co., in New Haven, had the
entire uealp and part of one oar torn from
her head by her hair Incoming entangled
in some machinery. Though dreadfully
mutilated and suffering horribly, the snr.
goons think her Ufa may yet be saved, if
a sufficient number of persons can be
found who will consent to contribute a
small portion of their own cuticle for
transference to her scull. A number of
them liuve already done so, and the trans
planted skin is doing well, ami growing
finely in its now bed. Tho Palladium

The exact history of the enginandpro
gress of the Blakely Extension would oc
cupy too much of your valuable sn
be given here. Suffice it to say tl
contract was ever made by the people of
this county with either the Central or
Southwestern railroad to procure the road
to this point. The extension ■ was com
menced through the private ont.-rprise of
Messrs. Maxwell A Co., and'it was these
gentlemen whom the people proposed
t8 assist and to whom they looked
in the matter for its completion. Max
well A Co. undertook the work for a speci
fied and well settled sum to be paid them
by the Central railroad in it3 own stock
at par value. The difference between the
par and market value of which was what
the people proposed to make good to
Maxwell A Co. This is usually under
stood. Until recently the Central road
and the people of' Early county have
been, in a business sense, unknown to
each other. Under the terms of the con
tract between Maxwell A Co. and our
people, one-half the amount of subscrip
tion was to have been paid when twenty-
five miles of the road should have been
completed—the remaining half when it
abould reach the west bank of Spring
creek—distant nine miles from this
place. The first payment has never

The Grand Collapse—Two Bnl-
loonatics Explain It—One of
them Thankful for the
‘‘Break.” .
The New York San of Saturday has a
long account of the collapse of the big
balloon and various explanations by men
learned in the law of balloons, why it oc
curred. Prof. Steiner who had charge of
the inflation said:
“All day long,” he said. “I had grave
doubts of the ability of the bag to stand
the pressure. But' I kept on inflating,
knowing that, should she stand the strain
while held to the gram 1, -he wanld' be
safe enough wh< a fl-rating in the aixand
relk-ved of tay great resistance to the
lifting power of the gas. You must re
member that the upward pressureon the
crown of that balloon was equal to forty-
seven thousand pounds. Little of this
tremendous force was distributed over the
sides, but it ail lifted like a solid column
against the valve and the cloth around it.
Although that-, part of the lxrg was
strengthened by two extra thickness is of
muslin, it gave way, starting close to the
frame of the valve on three sides and
tearing down as the giu rushed through
tiio openings. Jo muslin' balloon of 'a
like^sirc n§ evtm been inflated, and I do
not helievo that one will ever be. YYise
and myself once planned an air trip to
Europe, but split on this _point of using
the cotton balloon. In rny opinion, the
only kind of balloon of that size that can
he inflated must be made of silk, with a
strong canvass covering in the place of a
netting,"
FAULTS AND MERITS OF THE TORN BAL
fallen due. If our. people need tui
excuse for the failure to make this
first payment they find it in the fact
that, owing to tho stringency of the
money market, they were never called
upon—that tho contract of subscription
was based upon the fundamental idea
that the road must be assured to Blakely
—and that report—frequent reports—
that the work would be suspended at

couraging us. Should Maxwell A Co.
need an excuse for failing to complete the
''^extension.” 'they'fifid'it in tHo -fact of*
their inability so to do—a fact so univers
ally acknowledged that no one has
thonght of attaching blame to them.
Finally, we come to the assertion of
“Justice,” that our people—our business
men—are fretting, fuming and even curs
ing the names of the Central and South
western railroads. If such be the ease,
we are all indebted to “Justice” for the

sibly he made. “It- was very tight, so
much so that not gas enough oozed
through to be smelled on the outer sur
face. It would have beefa safe if once
got into the air. In my opinion, how
ever, it was too heavy. It had three,
thick coats of oily varnish, and'was dried
in the sun, which caused an undue ab
sorption of the coating. lYhy, it weighed
forty-seven thousand pounds, and all
that weight was virtually .hanging down
on the crown, because there all the strain
came. > It*hoald have Iiad two coats of
tliinner varnish, and been dried slowly
under cover. Some of the sections were
discolored by rain, anti flint would tend
to mellow the material. Whether it did
or not I cannot say, but I do not think
that rottenness caused the break. The
netting was made of lumd ;md poor mar
line, knotted at every mesh. These
knots would tend to chafe and wear the
cloth. The netting should have been of
pliant, soft rope.. Ir this case it broke
in several places, from the pulling of the
sand bags; but hot onodgh to cause any
alarm. No more favorable weather could
have been had, and a brisk wind would
have ended t'ae matter four hours earlier.
The bag would have stool sixty per cent
more pressure if it had not been weighed
down with oil. I think tile material was
good, and the sowing well done.”
PROF. WISE on THE COLLAPSE.

^evening.

said. •* when asked to give my opinion as
to the cause of the c.dlapso, tho muslin
wa^*rotten, at least some of the sections,
by exposure to nil kinds of w eather for
weeks. I protested in win against it
and secured a shelter, but they would
not listen to me. Their great point
seemed to bo to avoid deify and get the
balloon off somehow or anyhow. Donald
son is foolhardy enough to risk liis life,
and the others followed. his reckles-i ex
ample. I had rather-walk up to a can
non’s mouth than face public indignation,
and I knew that no explanation would
set me aright if I refused to go. So,
against the wishes of my son, who is an
aeronaut of twenty years* experience, I
said I would go if they could inllate the
balloon. Yet I was confident they
couldn’t do it. Do you know whethea*
the rents followed the seams?”

Editors Ttlsgraph and McssefiQer: The
colored people of this vicinity has for
two weeks past held a protracted meeting
which is worthy of note, conducted by
one of the Ablest colored pastors of South
west Georgia, Kev. Mr. Wicks, of Monte
zuma. He is regarded with reverence by
both black and white, and unlike most of
his unfortunate brethren, is possessed of
superior intellectual powers.
About eight ’o’clock on the 14th inst.,
great crowils of colored people began to
gather under the well known old tree,
near the water, and continued until
eleven o’clock in tho forenoon;, at fixe ex--
vices. The hoar having arrived for bap
tizing, the immense-crowd proceeded to-
the water's edge, which -was about two
hundred yards distant. As the dense
crowd was marching towards the water,
those who were to be baptised could* be
distinguished by the white caps which
th« y wore.
The baptizing consumed one hour and
forty minutes, after which Professor
Wicks strennomdy endeavored to per
suade some one else to come forward,
make a confession of his sins and to be
baptized.
Many of the oli members were over
whelmed with grief and could not re
strain themselves.
The baptizing terminated forty min
utes after twelve o’clock, after winch all
repaired to the church, one mile dis
tant, there to pass the Sabbath evening
in worship. Thence to their respective
homos to join their daily avocations.

Washington, D. C., September 12.—
The following despatch was received at
the White House this morning:
Yankton. D. T., September 12.
To IT.'S. Grant, President of the United
States:
General Edwin S. McCook was assas

DETAILS OP THE ASSASSINATION.
Yankton, Dak., September 12.—Last
night an altercation occurred between
General E. S. McCook, Secretary of Da
kota, and P. P. Wintermute, a broker of
this city, in a billiard parlor of the Sfc.
Charles Hotel, during which Wintermute
used insulting language, which was
promptly resented by the General, who
gave Wintermute a thrashing. The Gen
eral thtftn went to bis rdom. Wintermute,
washing blood from his face, remarked to
the .bystanders that McCook could whip
him, but that he (Wintermute) would
shoot him, and immediately went five
blocks, got a"p*stol, and returned.
1 A ‘ railriSda meeting was in session in
the hotel at the time Wintermute entered
the assembly. McCook, unaware of his
presence, alscr entered the room, when
Wintermute raised and, approaching,
fired his pistol, the shot taking effect in
the left breast. The General grappled
with bin assassin, and a second shot was
fired, when Wintermute was thrown to
the floor. During the struggle two more
shots were fired, one of which slightly
wounded a bystander. Only one shot
took effect, which proved fatal. The Gen
eral lingered until seven o’clock this
morning, when he expired. He was fully
conscious to the last, and died like a brave
man. Wintermute is under arrest. The
city is shrouded in gloom, and flags are
flying at half-mast. At one time it was
feared that Wintermute would be lynched,
but ooo|pt rouns-.U prevail*-<1. T• • iy

Sioux Crrr, Ia., September 12.—Gen
eral E. S. McCook. Territorial Secretary
of Dakota, was shot through the breast
last night at xnnktoa by P. P. Winter
mute, and died this morning. McCook
attempted to enter the court-room, where
a railroad meeting was being held, and
was met at the door by Wintermute, who,
after some high words, drew & pistol and
shot McCook, the boll entering near the'
left shoulder, severing an artery.* The
latter then J eiz^l/'Vir.iericute, who fired

the largest steamers on the lakes foun
dered and sunk seven miles off this port
at noon to-day. Her signal of distress
was hoisted at 9 a. m., but so terriblo was
sea and heavy the wind, that no assist
ance coaKl reach her. She labored in
the rou^h sea from abont 8:30 a. m., un
til the time alie sunk. The passengers
and crew prepared boats to leave her at
about 10:30 o’clock, and tho last boat left
at 11:50. When the last .boat had got
quarter of a mile from ner she went
down. There were five boats filled with
the crew and passeogers. One boat con
taining five men and four women, cap
sized and only one man of the party
reached the shore. Four boats have
reached tho shore up to tliis time. One
bout containing Captain Sweetman and

NIGHT HISPATCHES.
Further from the Sinking of the Iron
sides.
Chicago, September 1G.—A special dis
patch from Grand Haven, Michigan, gives
the fob owing account of tho foundering
of the propeller Ironsides off that port;
N. B. Watkins, clerk of the boat, says,
“we left Milwaukee at 9:40 o’clock Sun
day night, with nineteen*passengers and
a crew of thirty men, and were due in
Grand Haven between five and six o’clock
Monday morning. The cargo consisted
of thirteen thousand bushels of wheat,
five hundred barreiiof flour, one hundred
and twenty-five barrels of pork, and some
miscellaneous articles. This was a very
large cargo since the boat could only car
ry eleven hundred tons.
A moderate breeze was blowing from
the southwest, which constantly increased
until it became a terrific gale.before day.
I did not get up before 9 o*clock, when
the boat was roiling fearfully. I went
immediately below and found the men
working at the pumps. Water had
already put ont the fires, and the engines
were useless. I then went to the office
and got the passenger’s register, the
money and manifests, and went on the
hurricane deck, where I found Captain
Sweetman getting the foresail in. He
was perfectly self-possessed, and the men
obeyed his orders promptly. We were
then about three mites from shore. The
signal of distress had been raised at 9:30.
About 10 o*clock the passengers all put on ' over the Upper Lake region with brisk
doses for which they were enacted. They
have not diminished the evils which they
were designed to destroy; but they have
brought with them or in attempting to
enforce them, a train of attendant evils
which have disgraced the administration
of justice, and havo tended to corrupt the
public morals. Some other method pro
moting by legislation the cause of tem
perance should at least be tried. Thi6
cause is too high and noble iu its charac
ter and in ite purpo » to attempt to ?x>r-
row any aid from injustice, pjutiajity or
corruption.” _ (
