The entire crowd couldn't raise that amount, but some white men went security for them and then the fun recommenced. Tho Gurneyita* secured the re-organi/Ation of the convention and everything was working lovely for Gurney when that tho person entered the hall. What ensued New* and Courier relates as follows: About half-past tw * the credit of j morning the convmtioi shoulder*, and j last contested dslegat Mm ley dolegotas were fhi* time Gen. OlUBfJ publi An candidates for the mayoralty, come into the hall. It was an unfortu nate time. Tho Mackey men, under the pressure of the defeat, were wrothy, and *everal of them made a rush at General Gurney. One of them whipped out pistol, and the crowd, friends and foes, gathered up in one corner of the room in a confused mob. This, as may be imag ined, had a very demoralizing effect upon tho members of the convention. The more weak-kneed flod In dismay, and in a few moment* the hall was emptied of overy one except those who were strug gling over the candidate. General Gurney finally got out of the hall and the Convention adjourned until 12 o’clock to-day. The convention met again on Tuesday, «md after a big row, kicked both Mackey and Gurney overboard, and nominated a scaliawag named George I. Cunningham, a man of some property and decency, for Mayor. After the convention adjourned a large body of negroes who had been assisting in its deliberations, marched off singing, "Down with the Yankees,” to the tune of “Hally around the Flag, Boys”—from which we infer that the African stomach in Charleston is rather sour at present towards the enrpet-bag- gers. Tho ConseAatives held word meetings on Monday night to select delegates to their convention, and also had a stormy time. In three or fonr ward* there was much rowdyism and disorder, caused by gongs of negroes who had been sent by their owners, tho Radical leaders, to break up tho meetings, and no result was reached in some of them. Enough dele gates, however, were chosen favorable to the renomination of General John A. Wagener, the present Mayor, over his competitor. Major Theodore J. Boag, who the next day withdrew his name ns a can didate, thus leaving General Wagener a clear field. The News and Courier thinks there will bo a sharp fight, but that the Conservatives will win. We trust so from the bottom of our hearts. Tho city government of Charles ton has been in the hands of the Conser vatives for the past two years and the good results thereof to tho trade, general prosperity and solid progress of the city have been moat gratifringly and oouclu- sivelv shown. The negroes and their white allies all this time have been hun gering and thirsting for a raid upon the pockets of tho tax-payers, and havo be come so ravenous that it is really fearful to think what will tho consequences to the treasury should they bo successful in the coming eloction. They have already mode out their programme of plunder in tho ©vent of success, and that they will carry it through no one can doubt. TuBrpt. 1. 1*71. I77.XI7 '••‘•.in 11.14P.X47 K.7M77 p.c.

B«twlxity and Bctweeuity Not Pleasant* Just at this moment money is scarcer and more di&ult to be obtained, pr»J»a- bly, than at any pmod since the war. It matters not what the collaterals may lie, the article fails to come to the surface, because it is not there. This may be accounted for, in part, because ccAton moves so much later than usual, and the buyers are so few in number. Yesterday farmers were to be seen anx ious to sell their loads, but who could scare up no purchasers. In the mean time there is that annual pause always observable in financial affairs, when the tide having reached its lowest ebb, the flood has not yet set in. In other words, the banks have hbout finished their advances for the year to planters, and, with exchequers well-nigh exhausted, are n^piv awaiting the return of their loans and the handsome profits accruing from the interest account. Mcnfinints, too, have spent all their available cash in the laying in of new storks, and find it difficult during /the temporary lull between the summer and autumn lmsiiUM*. to gather indusd* .- itii cient to meet the enormous demands for freight which are ever pouring in, oth*ir ni drain upon the available cap ital of the country, also, ia the large amount of currency which has been re tired from circulation by tho purchase o: the new State bond*. True, the effect ha* been to maintain the credit of Geor gia, both at home and abroad—a most desirable consummation—but, neverthe less, it was robbing Peter to pay Paul, and henoo the stringency in the money market. But this period of “slack watqr” in the trade of our city, fortunately, is destined to be of very brief duration. The fleecy ■taple, which is now rapidly pouring in by wagon and mil, will attract capital and buyers, too, a* sure a* the eagles follow the carcase. Yesterday the receipt of one warehouse reached one hundred and fifty bales, and soon tho crisis will be passed, money abundant, and prosperity and thrift again gladden all hearts. The indications of a heavy and profitable trade the present season are considered very flattering, and the credit of Macon merchants abroad stands as firm as the rock of Gibraltar. THE GEOKGIA PRESS.

Wo fear tho Miaaiwippi DemoctnU will live to regrot not nominating a State ticket nt Meridian on Wednesday. They ore tho first to formally di.band tho grand old organization and loavo the rank and file to shift for themselves—to .tray into dubious paths, and beeomo houseless, homeless wanderers. Tho ob ject, wo suppose, is to throw the support of tho party to Alcorn as against Ames, but how, or by what right eliall the lead ers control the masses of the party after thus turning them out of the old church, locking the doors and bidding them go thoir way ? Wo predict that it will re sult just os disastrously as did the Greeley movement last year. There are thous and of Democrats in Mississippi who will not vote for Alcorn any more than they will for Ames. They will sulk in their tents rather than wear the colors and march under the banner of cither. They owe Alcorn nothing and Ames hws. It was Alcorn who engineered the machinery of Radical reconstruction in Mississippi. He founded tho Radical party in that State, and has been one of its stoutest champions in all the South. He has never failed to give Grant and his administration a hearty support as against tho Southern people, and would never have lifted the standard of revolt against the Grant party had he not felt himself menaced with loss of power and patronage in the State. His rival, Arne-, has the ear of the administration, he con trols the Federal appointments, and it is upon the heads of his special friends falls the golden shower of the spoils. Alcorn has boeu snubbed—Aiac illor IacArym«ie. Hence his new born zeal and love for the white people of Mississippi. After hav ing assisted to bind and turn them over manacled hand and foot to the white and Mack thieves and tyrants cf that State, he now calls upon them to save him from the same fate. His personal fortunes are in danger, and he cries to his victims to rally to his rescue. And they have done it. weakly, foolish ly and fatally as we think, and as time will show. The Democratic party of Missisuppi has been temporarily dis banded in order that Alcorn may have some show against Amo.- He hasn t the ghost of a hope from any other quarter. The negroes will vote .olid for Ames. They move at the word of command, and that has been given from Washington. Monsieur Tonson Come Annin. Our dapper little friend of tho Savan nah Morning Rows, wo judge from some of the poculiar idiosyncraeres of his col umn. has returned from his bleaching ex pedition to Canada. Whether he has cleared off” and wear, an auburn wig has not transpired.

The following is his last: CoL H. Henderson Jones, of the M.- cov Teleobapii, having taken the trou ble to lose our article in reply to his com parison of the merits of the proposed water-routes from the West, rejoins in a column paragruph-in which he resurrects all the arguments which we had disposed of. Thus far there has been no blood drown in this controversy, but we beg Col. Jonos to beware. This matter may proceed to that point where it cannot be settled by arbitration. As a newspaper colporteur. Col. Jones has the cl vantage of us, but when it comes down to erect ing u first-class canal ho is manifestly out of his element. Tho little man ha, so many «.il-i«S» himself, that actually he thinks every one is in the same predicament. Hence the •iHenderson” he introduces in the name of tho writer. As good a “colporteur” as he concedes ns to be, we should never at tempt the reformation of such an incor rigible as Red Top. It would require all the religious press and every camp meet ing in the country to do him any good worth a cent We shall hoed his caution and not press such a blood-thirsty giant too far for “arbitration" to save us. The r 7 Next Session of Men University. It is announced to-day that the exer cises of this venerable institution will be resumed on the first of the ensuing montu. We predict a very large acces sion of new students, as the late brilliant Commencement has demonstrated that despite the depressing influences of the past year, the progress of Mercer is on ward and upward. President Battle is the right man in the right place, and tho entire Faculty confessedly one of the ablest in the South. Many years since, when the writer was an inmate of the State University, it was notorious that the students who joined from Pennneld, were as well, if not better prepared than those coming from any other institution. And now, with her new bnildings, which are models of architectural beauty, completed, an ample endowment, splen did aparatus, extensive and well selected library, the best location in the State, and the entire confidence of the people, what other than the most brilliant career can await her? That the most sanguine expectations of the friends of the Uni versity will be realized, none can doubt. Not Mach “Peace” for the Un happy Indian. It is said that the Crows, a Western tribe of Indians, have been wofully swin dled in a late troaty made with them by Felix R. Brunot. bne of General Grant’s peace commissioners. This man, as chairman of the Commission on Indian Affairs, is the very individual who report ed against the whole treaty system, and even recommended the abrogation of ex isting contracts, on the ground that the poor savages were always cheated out of their rights, and mercilessly robbed by government agents. But he is also a di rector ir. the Northern Pacific Raijroad Company, and they want the Crow coun try for their own purposes. Of course, the aforesaid report was merely bun combe, and must not stand in the way of busing. Hence, the Crows are sacrificed. It is the same old stealing story repeated. Me. C. H. C. WiLLiSuHur, has retire from the Griffin Star, having sold his terest to Mr. F. S. Fitch, former propri etor of the Star. A Thomajjvillk correspondent of the Savannah News writes as follows: A melancholy accident was reported just as I was leaving Thomasville. Two young ladies.

The Augusta Constitutional^ "'ill put on a new suit early in October. • We offer out congnitulafioii-s in advan< We clip, and heartily endorse’the fol lowing from the Constitutionalist Game Laws.—In the counties of Chat ham and Bryan a law was passed which put a prohibition on the si tooting of game MteM the month* of April and Octo ber. Before the passage of that law the planters were unable to keep their hogs, because of the promiscuous prowling gun-bearing negroes who pretended to be hunting “birds.” The prospect for is now excellent. We wis oarnf^far of the Savurnah Advertiser in calling for b genamL instead off a local gmm law, If our hog crop can be so greatly increas- by it, Gov.

The funds of the association were sold, amounting to 57,000, at 20f to 211 per cent, premium. It is probable this association will be closed up with one more meeting. The Columbus Enquirer announces the death in Texas, recently, of Major Abram Phillips, formerly a well known citizen of Columbus. He was a brother of the late Mrs. Moffett and Gen. P. J. Phillips, of that city. The Phoenix Riflemen, of Savannah, voted on Tuesday night to visit Macon during the State Fair, and contend for the premium to be given the beat drilled company. The house of Mr. Win. L. Barber, of Bonks county was burned last Saturday, together with nearly all the furniture, clothing and provisions of tho family. I»es about $1,000, and no insurance. We clip these items from the Colum bus Sun of Wednesday afternoon: The River Connection with Jack sonville.—We have already alluded to the fact that Capt. Sam 'Whitesides, gen- ml agent for the Central line of boats, had agreed to forward and deliver freight to the Jacksonville and Chnttah* Railroad Company without discrimina tion in favor of other roods. Capt. Whitesides, with CoL Holland and others, have just passed over the road. Between Quincy and Chattahoochee, twenty-two mile.. the road is reported in very bad condition and needing considerable labor upon the road-bed before it will be fit for hauling freight over it.

Dr. D. was tnlHng to Mr. McNamara, and during the conversation one of the benches commenced to give away. The Doctor and some of the binds jumped the roof of the adjoining building. An other caught and held on to something and escaped unhurt.

The New York Sun leads, by many length, all the other dailies in this coun try in circulation. It’s daily average circulation last week was USJ71 copies, a total for the week off 735.654. And the beet thing about the Sun is that it gees for Grant, with a most re freshing via in every issue. Tlus connection with the Central boats will prevent the putting of any more steamer* on the river. Such was said to lie the intention of the railroad company. This agreement stops that. A Macon Negro Captured.—Sunday evening, in Macon, a negro ruffian, Aaron Bond by name, attempted to rape a col ored girl, aged about eleven years. He enticed the child into an unoccupied house. His design was frustrated by the appearance of the mother. The villain escaped the vigilance of the Macon po licemen. Information was {riven our offi cers by Conductor Dense, who could only describe the rascal by saying he was a large negro with a grin on his face?. With these data our officers went to work, and last night Capt. Cash and private Smith 1--1 in .Mpturing th-* negro in a house on Front street, and lodged him in the guard house. The negro has admit ted everything. The Macon authorities have been telegraphed concerning tho capture Little Northern Hat to be Used.— It is expected that very little Northern hay will lie used in this section the pres ent season. Planters are beginning to pay attention to saving and curing their own grass. We know of a few farmers who sold several hundred bales in this market last season. They were well paid for their trouble. That this example is to be followed is shown by the fact that Holstead & Co. have sold this fall nine Buckeye reapers, and could have dis posed of a few others had they had them. In the correspondence between Messrs. Hooper, of Opelika, and Lay, of Atlanta, who were the friends, respectively, of Messrs. Waddell and Phillips in their re cent difficulty, we find the following statement made to Hooper by Lay, and quoted by the former in a letter to the latter. Colonel Lay, it seems, is not a very healthy man to fool with. Wo quote: Colonel Lay (rising with profound bow—Yes, Colonel, I have been engaged in forty-two affairs of honor as principal and second, and I concur with you fully in your suggestions. It is the duty of a second to prevent a resort to arms if pos sible. I recollect in one of the first duels I ever fought, I came very near losing my life by having a fool for a second. He allowed me to fight the best swordsman in Europe with a rapier. I, at that time, was not so proficient as I am now in the use of that weapon, and considered my life as good as lost, but met my antago nist, and, after parrying a few of his thrusts, was compelled to allow him to pass his sword entirely through my stomach, the point coming out at my backbone. As I stood thus transfixed, it occurred to my mjnd to do an act which I have never heard of being equalled be fore or since. I, with my left hand, with remarkable presence of mind, coolness and firmness, seized my adversaiy’s blade, holding it so firmly that he could neither turn it in me or pull it out, and in that position, plunged my sword entirely through my adversary’s left breast up to the hilt, just one inch and a half above his heart; and what is remarkable is, that we both recovered—and thereupon, you removed a portion of your clothing and pointed to the spot. It took fifty-one hounds five or six hours to catch three foxes up in Spalding coun ty la*t Tuesday, and the Griffin News calls it “a royal old fox hunt.*' We should think that many dogs ought to have caught all the foxes in Spalding county in about half an hour.

We were campaigning on the Crow, and the camp had been pitched in a pretty little valley, through which ran a pure stream of bright, cold water. Tho supper had been eaten, the camp-fires lighted, pipes filled, and all were ready for the evening yarn. Among the frontiersmen who accompanied th*- expMition was Mr. Bolden, the celebrated White Chief of the Plains, and noted hunter, trapper and guide. I called upon him for a story, and, after thinking over his wild border- life for some time, os if to select the choicest bits from his vast experience, he related the following: “I was one of the first men in 1858, to arrive at Pike's Peak. I came up from the Missouri, with a friend of my father, aijd we stopped at Denver, or rather, I should say, where Denver now is, for tho city was then composed of a few grog shops and shanties. In one of the mining camps I became acquainted with a queer fellow they called BRUISER SAM. He was a powerful man, and sometimes drank a great deal, but was always good- tempered and kind-hearted. The miners were a rough set in those days, and de lighted in the most brutal of sports. Prize fighting was one of their pastimes, and at this Bruiser Sam excelled—no man in all the camps being able to stand up long before him. Hia feats of strength were prodigious. Often would ho take barrel of liquor by the chimes, and. knock ing out the bung, lift it up and drink from the hole, as easily as if it were a small keg. Then ho would stand on a box twelve inches high, and lift one hun dred and eighty pounds with his teeth. He could pick up a three-bushel bag of flour with his mouth, and carry it a rod. One day a saloon keeper offended Sam, and to have revenge, he went out into the street and shouldering a large work horse, carried it into tho saloon, loaving the en raged bar-keeper to get it out and down the steps as best he could. At another time he carried a rock into a store, and dropped it through the floor. Sam’s skin was as white and smooth as a girl’s; i*ut all over his arms, shoul ders, and broad chest were bunches of knotty muscles as large as one’s fist. He was a well-built and FINE-LOOKING MAN, his waist being remarkably small, his hips broad, the legs well set, and feet small. Once his face was handsome, but whisky had bleared the eyes, and the nose was pimpled and red; still, Sam was a good looking man, and, whi ilrtMod «*p In a new bucK-hX.ui suit with yellow fringe, and his long brown hair combed out in •curls about his neck, he was the picture of an athletic frontiers man. However, Sam was fast degenerating into a loafer; he had left off work and gone to living by his strength, just as thousands of men live by their wits in the great cities. Any one would pay for Sam’s liquor to see him lift a barrel by tho ends and drink from the bung-holo; and occasion ally, by way of variety, he would shoulder horse or a mule for a glass of nun. Dissipation told rapidly on ‘Tho Man of Steel,’ as he was called; and, when I saw him in the spring, after a winter’s carousing, he had THE DELIRIUM TREMENS, and it took five men to hold him. His frame was wasted away, the knots of sin ews were gone, his chest drawn in, and the skin of his body soft and flabby. It was about this time an old English man named Jones arrived at the mines, and, hearing of Sam, expressed a desire to see him. Old Jones was a well-known prize fighter, but, of late yea re, had giv- ~~ up the ring himself and turned train- Sam’s fame excited the envy of old Jones, and he no sooner s^w him than he offered to fight Sam. The miners were astonished, and tried to dissuade Jones from his purpose; but nothing would do but he must have a bout with Sam. So the day was set. Sam was sick on the morning of the fight, and looked badly enough; but bets ran two to one on ‘The Man of Steel,* against the Englishman. Time was called, and the Englishman bounded into the ring, while Same came up slowly, and looked languid and fee ble ; buC at the very first pass, he hit John Bull BETWEEN THE EYES, and no amount of sponging and bathing could induce him to stand upon hi3 legs again that day. It was feared Sam had broken the Englishman’s skull, but he got about in a day or two, and soon af terwards both he and Sam disappeared from the saloons. The bar-keepers were astonished. Sam did not come around any more for his grojj, and no one could imagine where he had gone, or what he was at. Foul play was beginning to be suspected, when it leaked out that Sam WAB IN THAJNINO, •and that the Englishman was his trainer. After old Jones had got that awful lick from Sam’s brawny fist, he gave him no peace until he agreed to go into training and accompany the Englishman to Eng land there to fight the giants of the prize ring. Jones had not much money, but, at nis instigation, a man named Dunham came over from London with plenty of cash, and, as soon as Dunham arrived, old Jones quit, and the new Englishman became Sam’s regular trainer. *‘I saw Sam once while he was in train ing, and he looked well; the knots were on bis arms again, and the great chest firm and round. He had been at his dumb bells, sand-bags, gum-balls about six weeks, when, one morning, he got mad about something, knocked both Dunham and old Jones down, and made his escape from his keepers into the street. Stop ping at the saloons and taking several drinks, he did not forget it was his hour for training, and amused himself by KNOCKING DOWN every stout-looking fellow he met. Fi nally, after the sheriff and half the town had been whipped, Sam was captured and put into jail; but here a new difficulty presented itself, for the jail was not a strong one, and Sam swore he would in stantly tear it down if they did not let him out. On promising that he would go straight to his lodgings, the door was opened, and Sam kept nis word, for he went directly home and retired to bed. This outbreak was so unlike Sam’s natural disposition that every one was at a loss to and that, single-handed and alone, he would fight one. There was a grizzly in the camp, that had been caught by the miners when a cub, and raised by them. The bear was now nearly full-grown, and, although a great, powerful brute, was quite tame and harmless. It was not long before some wretches had arranged a fight between this beast and Bruiser Sam, and the day was set. The bear was to be chained to a tree by the neck, and Sam was to fight him for one hour with his naked fists. Sam again went into training, with Jim Peyton for his trainer, and, long before the day of the fight, Peyton reported that his pupil was in splendid condition, and ‘would as soon fight as go a fishing.* “The day came, and with it a great crowd. The bets were three to one on Sam, and many really believed he would whip the bear. POOR BRUIN— a great, shaggy-coated fellow,—was tied to a stake by a chain twelve feet long, and was as good-tempered os he could be, stan*ling on his hind legs, and scam pering about with delight at the sight of so many people. Perhaps there was as little of the real beast in Bruin as there was in many of the two-legged animals who came to see him fight. The keepers of the bear began teasing and poking him with sharp poles and irons, and. although lie took it quite coolly at first, he after a while growled fiercely and tugged at his chain. Sam now appeared with tiU keeper, Peyton, and was received with loud cheers by the human animals who wished to see a man and a beast fight. “Stepping into tho ring, Sam prepared for battle, stripping off all his clothing, except his boots, pants, and drawers. His brand chest contrasted strangely with the shaggy coat of tho beast, as the two com batants stood glaring at each other. thr intelligent animal seemed to understand the situation in a moment, and raising on his legs, walked toward Sam, who tried to hit him between the eyes, hoping to break his skull; hut failing in this, ho stepped to one side, and giving the bear a powerful blow on the ear, knocked him completely down. Cheer after cheer greeted Sam as he stepped from the ring, and tho men who had bet on the bear really began to fear they would lose their money. Five min utes were allowed between rounds, and the baiters poked the beast vigorously all the time, so that when Sam came up again, he was in a towering rage. “The moment Sam crossed the ring, the bear recognized him, and bounded the full length of the chain. So great was the rage of the beast that the people drew back in horror, and even Sam grew pale. Again the bear leaped forward, and taking his chain in his paws, at tempted to break it. For a time it re sisted all his efforts, but at length 8NAPPED IN TWAIN, and the affrighted people fled terror- stricken from the plain. The bear dashed upon Sam, who bravely stood his ground, and actually succeeded in felling the beast to the earth; but, in doing so, lost his balance, and, before he could escape, the bear caught him with one claw, and, hit ting him on the face with the other, broke the poor fellow's jaw. Still Sam fought on, with his jaw hanging down upon breast, and blood spirting from a dozen wounds. It was a terrible conflict; but, of course, the bear won, knocking Sam down finally, and tearing open his chest with its sharp claws. By this time, the people had got guns and returned to the field, where they fired volley after volley into poor Bruin, until he lay quite still and dead. SAM WAS DEAD, TOO, and they took up his body and the car cass of tho bear, and buried them both. And thus ended Bruiser Sam and his grizzly-bear fight, which was perhaps the only prize bear-fight ever fought in the world.” BY TELEGRAPH. DAY DISPATCHES. Losses at Northern Watering: Places the Past Season. The New York correspondent of the Chicago Tribune writes as follows on this subject: * ixna & imereti least, ana Cape May next. Then come Saratoga and Newport, which latter is diminishing every year in hotel patronage, while its villa population is augmenting. Atlantic City, according to report, has nearly ru ined its landlords. Tho White Mountain inns are far below their average receipts, and Mount Desert, Rye, Westerly, Watch Hill, Narragansett Pier, Clifton, Sharon, and Richfield Springs, with Niagara, Greenbrier, White Sulphur, and other re sorts, sh'iw a lamentable falling off in re ceipts. The watering place hotel keep ers had expected an unusually large pat ronage, and had made the amplest prep aration therefor. Consequently, their pe cuniary detriment is greater tnan it would have been otherwise, and they are possessed of so little hope that many of them have not tho courage to contem plate another season. An arithmetic man, who claims to speak by the card, avers that $1,000,000 will not cover the losses of the principal resorts during the summer just past. At least half a dozen failures of prominent landlords are bruited, and abundant talk of compounding with creditors floats on Northern and Southern breezes. The Biggest Smash Yet—Jay Cook & Co. Go Up.

The speech of Castelar on assuming the Presidency of the Cortes shows that whether or not he be fitted for the posi tion to which he has been called he has a veiy clear perception of the needs of the Spanish Republic at this juncture. Lack harmony among the.elements of re publicanism and lack of discipline in the army are pronounced by him to be, as they are pretty generally recognized by others to be, the great dangers which threaten the existence of the Republic. And when he declares that the present dissensions if prolonged can only result in the tyranny of a Cromwell or a Napoleon, he only asserts what every one out of Spain will be ready to accept as extremely probable, It appears that the last hope of the Spanish Republic is in Castelar, and if he fails to secure the harmony which he declares to be necessary, the dictator cannot be very far behind him. New York World. Persian Barbarity.—Sir John Mal colm, writing from Persia in 1828, de scribes the case of a chief named Zal Khan, who, coming into disfavor with the reigning monarch, was condemned to have his eyes put out. Failing in his appeal for a recall of his cruel sentence, Zal Khan “loaded the tyrant with curses,” and, in return, hia tengue was ordered to be cut out. This order was imperfectly executed, and the loss of half the member reported to have deprived him of speech. Being afterward persuaded that, if cut close, he might be able to speak in telligently with the root, he submitted to the operation, and subsequently told his own story to Malcolm. These statements were long doubted, but, in 1857, they were fully confirmed by Sir John McNeill, whose inquiries in Persia, where t.hia mode of punishment is common, led to the discovery of many instances of a sim ilar nature. The belief is universal in that country, that incision of the tip of the tongue permanently destroys the power of speech, while its removal at or near the root leaves the victim a chance of regaining the ability to again speak his mind. Surgeons are agreed, however, that, for the purposes of talking, the more there is left of the “unruly mem ber” the better.—Popular 8cience Monthly for September. will assume another form responsibility will be*rin. id then the Poyntx.

The Cheap Tranrportation Ques tion.—The agitation of the cheap trans portation question, which has at last set tled down in New York, has developed into a serious matter for that city. It is shown by the discussion there on Wednes day that New York is gradually losing her trade through the activity of rail- account for it; and, soon afterwards, an- j road lines South leading from the West regards the statistics of our city; our | other ebulution of ^ pa&siox^ occurring, to the sea.

Swalts, of Barnesville, has been appointed United States Granger for that Congressional district. The Barnesville Patriot tells of a ne gro «uuian living near that place who is he was growing weak ; he lifted the bar rels with difficulty, and preferred to drink from a glass instead of a bung-hole. He grew thin in flesh, his muscles disap peared, ml he became the shadow of his former self. “At time a number of shoulder- hittera and desperadoes arrived at the fiiMf, mrwl gave S*m some trouble; but he finally conquered them all, and, as the last fellow got licked, he exclaimed : ‘Well, if you can lick me, rou can't lice a grizzly bear!’ Sam swore he could lick a grizzly bear. in favor of the multiplication of double track railroad*, but it is reported that Vanderbilt, to save his road and New York city, designs building already a four track railroad on the Central, and there is a strong sentiment in New York in favor of the Government build ing a through four-track line to Chica go and St. Louis and renting it to pri vate parties, the eastern terminus of course being New York. Should the step last mentioned be seriously urged, the Baltimore Bon thinks other cities will be beard from. The country is growing, and the great cities are grow ing, the time has ceased to be when one city can dictate the commercial des tinies of the whole people.

Farther Particulars of the Great Failure. New York, September 18.—-The ex citement in consequence of Cooke’s failure is great. The question is, who next? Business men attribute the failure to op erations in the North Pacific road. It is feared the National Life Insurance Company will go under with Cooke. It is said that Jay Cooke lost largely in gold. Members of the firm say they are un able to make any further statement, save that they expect to resume business in a short time. Jay Cooke & Co* Make a Statement, Jay Cooke & Co. make the following statement: The immediate cause of the suspension of Jay Cooke & Co., was the large drawings made upon them by their Philadelphia house and their own depos itors during the last fortnight. Both houses have suffered a large draw upon their deposits, in consequence of the un easy feeling which has recently prevailed and which has affected, more or less, all houses closely identified with the new railroad enterprises, The Philadelphia house had previously been weakened by large cash advances to the Northern Pa cific Railroad Company, of which they were the financial agents. The business of Jay Cooke. McCullough & Co., London, is entirely distinct, and that house is perfectly solvent. So that it will meet all of its outstanding drafts and letters of credit, without inconven ience to travellers, and have a large cash surplus to apply to the American house. The firm of Jay Cooke & Co. and its members have a large amount of real and personal property, upon which, how ever, they cannot immediately realize. They are confident that depositors • will be paid in full. Other Failures Denied* All reports about suspensions of firms, excepting Jay Cooke Sc Co., Richard Schell and the small firm of Robinson, Snydam Sc Co., upon investigation proved to be without foundation. When this fact was made known on the streets con fidence was again restored, and at the close of business a stronger feeling pre vailed. It is not thought that any other firms of prominence will succumb. The Freedman’s Bank. Washington, September 18.—There are assurances that the Freedman’s Bank had only $800 in the Frst National Bank and no balance with Jay Cook Sc Co. The bank holds only four hundred dol lars Northern Pacific bonds collateral for small loon. Effect on the London Honse. London, September 18.—The London firm of Mr. Cooke responds to his sus pension by stating that all drafts and letters of credit on them, issued by Jay Cooke Sc Co., will be duly honored. Heavy Gale. There was a heavy gale around the British coast yesterday. Disasters are apprehended. Another Suspension. Philadelphia, September 18.—E. W. Clarke Sc Co., bankers, have suspended.

A number of prominent lawyers from other cities were present. The Govern ment is represented by the Attorney General, the assistant Attorney General and others. Another Shipwreck. San Fi.anci8co, September 18.—The Pacific mail ship Coeta Rica was wrecked in the mouth of the harbor. Her passen gers were stowed in boats. Capt. Lafidge remained on the ship. A boat with a number of the crew was capsized, but the men were picked up. The vessel will prove a total loss. The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows.

London, September 18.—The Board of Admiralty have received information that boats belonging to the British navy have been attacked by pirates near Pe nang, and two of their officers wounded. The man-of-war Thalia has been dis patched to the scene of outrage, with or ders to chose tho pirates. The Tichborne Case* Chief Justice Cockbum, at the close of the hearing in the Tichborne case to-day, said if the claimant resumed his travels through the country, representing himself as a martyr, it would be the dutv of the court to put a stop to the scandal by com- atriSl’ oi chofci.' nutting him to jail. Every judge and ju- • • — •- - ryman connected with the case had been threatened with assassination if a verdict against the defendant should be brought in. The Chief Justice warned claimant that if he made another speech, or appeal before the public, he would surely be im prisoned. New revelations are made every day of the trial, and public interest in tho case increases. * The Fever at Pensacola.—The Pen- sjicola Republican of Saturday hays : still prevailing here, though in a mild form compared with what it was in 1867. There are now comparatively but few deaths, although there has been an aver age of at least one a day ever since about the middle of August, when it first made its appearance. Physicians and those in authority unite in advising residents who are remaining in the city, that it would be unadvisablo for them to leave now, while those who are absent had better re main away tiU after a good frost. The disease is believed to be now at pretty much at a stand still. Gen. Sherman has a six column letter in tho Washington Chronicle, of last Monday, endeavoring to wipe out the stigma attaching to him for the vandal act of tho burning of Columbia. Like Holt, Gen. Sherman cannot clear him self of this infamy by shedding oceans of ink.
