W., received yesterday from the Supreme Recorder a check for two thousand dollars, for the benefit of the brother of Dr. J. T. Holmes, deceas ed. The beneficiary certificate was made payable by Dr. Holmes to his legal he* rs. ms brother, therefore, had to take out letters of administration before the pay ment could be made to him, hence the delay in payment of about two months. This is another illustration of the great good that is being accomplished by this worthy order. Tho Albany Lodge numbers about seventy-five members.

Typhoid Fever in Carnesville.— Athens Banner: There is a lamentable and alarming state of affairs in Carnes- ville, Franklin’county. Judge Erwin has received a petition to adjourn the Superior Court, which was to be held next week, on account of the unprecedented preva lence of typhoid fever in Carnesville. The petition was signed by all the law yers and doctors and many of the other citizens of the place. They state that both hotels are closed, the proprietor of one of them being dead, and the other down with the fever, as are also the fami lies of the hotel keepers. Four of the citizens of the place, living close to the court house, are so low that it is feared that the hoise and bustle incident to hold ing court, would prove fatal to them. The -last issue of the Carnesville Register came out as a half sheet, on account of the sickness of the editor and the printers. This is a sad state of affairs, and calls for earnest sympathy from those cf us who are so fortunate as to be spared this afflic tion.

Blount, our distin guished representative in Congress, ad dressed the public on the political ques tions of the day on yesterday. The crowd gathered to hear him was large and would tiavebeen much larger but for the fact that a steady rain had been falling all day. Those who did turn out wiUnoi regret being present, even though they were compelled to face the rain to do so. The speech was made in the court house, however, aud once in town his audience could hear him without standing in the rain to do so. The speech was well worth all the trouble and discomfort which it cost to hear it. The speaker arrested the -attention of his audience at the outset and retained it to the end. His arraignment of the Republican party, with all its crimes and corruptions, was masterly, and espe cially so was his exposure of the iniqui ties and inequalities of the infamous tariff.

Little field & Tison, of this city, own one-half of her, and her captain and some of our pi lots own auotber one-fourth. She now hails from Brunswick, Ga., and is emphat ically a Brunswick institution. This fact alone gives special interest to this partien- lar craft, but this is not all. She left New York four days after the steamship City of Dallas, aud arrived iu Brunswick at toe same' time, making toe run in five days, and bringing freights four days later. Injustice to the City of Dallas, we must say that she goes to Fernandina first and 1 mches here on her return trip.

By that date all of the engage ments of tbe Western circuit will have lieeu filled, and the runners can come here and contest for the five thousand dol lars in premiums offered for racing by the managers of the Association. The Nash ville laces, which is the last meeting cf tlie circuit, will end to-morrow, and then tlie turfmen and their thoroughbreds can come’torough to Altauta and remain at the track until the meeting commences.

The “Kimball House” stake will be con tested for by Merry Moil, Gold Bug, Alas ka, Virginia, Blanton aud Billadeaux. The above string of horses embraces some of the best known and finest run ners now on the turf, and some good run ning may be expected, as toe stakes are amply large enougii to make them ran from string to string. The list embraces only horses entered for the stakes, which according to toe rules of the association, had to be made by the first of October. In addition to these there will be eleven other races, for which handsome purses have been offer ed. W. H.

ELEPHANT GOSSIP. •trance l'reaka of Those Monsters ot As an assistant to local editors, the rqe- nagqrie elephant.is not to be despised. John Robinson’s pet, “Chief,” created no more of a sensation at Charlotte than did Cole’s elephants near Nevada recently. While being conducted across toe couiilry to Collax, a distance of twelve miles,three of the monsters escaped from tbe main body of the show and made an inspection of the country around. They were good natured during- their jamboree and showed their love for fun' by uprooting -trees, destroying fruit, tearing down fences, etc. Strange to say, they were not dents of the place, though that particular portion of the country is pretty thickly populated. After three days their picnic was brought to an end by tlie appearance of their keeper, who brought them safely back to the clrcni ring; c r ? John Robinson’s elephant, since killing his keeper, has-been extremely wild and unruly, and has to be kept in a locked car at all times, The managers intend to try to dispose ofliimatlhe Zoological Gar dens at Cincinnati, and if they do not suc ceed he will be killed. The South Carolina Census. Washington, October 0.—Secretary Schurz has made public toe report of Su perintendent Walker, of toe Census Bu reau, on tbe alleged census frauds in South Carolina. After reviewing too statements made by the press alleging frauds, and the action of the Census Bu reau in investigating toe same, General Walker says: “The extraordinary gains reported in certain counties of South Carolina, and the State as a whole, over the census of 1870, demanded, therefore, careful investigation. It was notorious that South Carolina had not profited ma terially during toe ten years since 1870 by immigration either from foreign countries or from other States of the Union. With slight advantage from immigration, it was not possible that an old State could have gained in population in the interval since 1870 to toe degree which is shown by a ( comparison of toe two censuses, and it foi- r lows as a conclusion of the highest au thority either that the census of 1870 was grossly defective in regard to the whole of the State, or some considerable parts thereof,'or else that toe^census of I860 was fraudulent. The census of 1870 might have been defective in a high degree, without fraudulent intention, through tlie incompetence or negligence of the enumer ators employed, but toe census of 1880 could not have exaggerated toe population of toe State without absolute fraud, inas much as toe census law requires toe names of every person reported to be written at length iu the schedules with a score of particulars as regards age, sex, nativity, occupation, etc.; so that any illegitimate addition whatever to the schedule must be of the nature Gf conscious and purposed crime.” Gen. Walker then gives bis reasons for believing toe report of 1870 incorrect, at tributing it mainly to defects of the law under which i: was taken, namely that of 1850, and says: “There was, moreover, lacking In 1870, throughout the whole re gion, one very important clement of enu meration—viz.: public interest in the re sult anil the general intelligence likely to bo shown by the canvass. The interest generally manifested throughout the Uni ted States in toe ninth census, was far be low that which has been shown toe pres ent year, but nowhere did iutercst in the work of the census fall so low as in toe States referred to, in which political ac tivity under the constitution of the United States had scarcely revived. No specific allegation of fraud in the enumeration of South Carolina has ever been made to this office. The entire reason for impeach ing the integrity of too recent census was found in the reported gain of popula tion between 1870 and 1880. The result of the investigation places, beyond possi ble question by any fair-minded man, the entire fault upon the census of 1870. | Colquitt . Norwood . Anderson. Barnett . Wright . . Renfroe. .

The presumption which exist ed against that work has been csmpletely overthrown and a strong counterpresump tion has been created by the verification upon the ground of the schedules of lu- habitants in the case of eighteen enumer ation districts successively taken for spe cial investigation, on account of their ex ceptionally questionable character. General Walker closes with a consider ation of toe objection urged against the reasonableness of toe result of toe census of 1880, derived from a comparison ot the ratio of increase of population in South Carolina between the years 1820 and 18(10 and that between 1800 and 1SS0. Af ter stating that tbe population of the State increased 41 per cent, during the first- mentioned period of forty years, and 41 per cent., or the same percentage, between 18G0 aud 18S0, a period of only twenty years, bo says: “Such comparison, however, is not fair without reference to certain general causes operating during the two periods. Front 1820 to I860, South Carolina was a beehive from which swarms were continually going forth to populate newer cotton growing States of the Southwest. Between 1820 and 1SC0 immense tracts of fertile lands belonging to the Creeks and Cherokecs in Georgia were ceded to the United States, and were largely occupied by South Carolinians. In a later period, an active emigration of whites from South Carolina sprang up, and was maintained iu favor of Alabama, Mississippi and Ixiuisiaua, while South Carolina negroes wcic sold in great num bers to cultivate the cotton, rice and sugar fields of those States. Still later, the an nexation of Texas made further drafts upon the population of South Carolina. With reference to emigration from the State between the years 1800 and 1880, toe report concludes as follows: “We do not know fully what effect toe destruction of slavery and tlie vast change resulting in tlie conditions of labor have produced upon the emigrating propensi ties of tbe people of South Carolina, but we do know that negroes are no longer aakl South to cultivate toe lauds qf toe Mazoo, Red river and Brazos, and- it is reasonable to suppose that concurring causes may have checked in an equal de gree the outward movement of tbe white population. A comparison of the free natives of South Carolina, living in other States in 18(10 with toe white natives of South Carolina living iu such States iu 1870 shows the numbers to have been re spectively 193,389 and 148,574, a reduc tion of 47,600 in toe ten yearn Detween 1800 aud 1870.” TEXAS.

New York, October 9.—The ceremony of laying the corner stone of the obelisk at Central Park this morning was witnessed by thousands of spectators. The chief fea ture was tlie Masonic procession, which formed in frout of tbe temple on Sixth avenue. In the lmo were all the coin- mauderies of Knights Templar in this city, and commanderics from Jersey City and Newark, and the Masonic lodges of New York, Kings, Queens and Rich mond counties. "Neither staves nor ban ners were carried by the lodges. The officers and past-masters wore jewels and the marshals carried batons, while the members were dressed in dark clothing, high black hats, white gloves and aprons. The procession was reviewed by Grand Master Jesse B. Anthony and officers of the Graud Lodge, Apollo Commandery acting as escort. When the head of tho column reached the entrance of the. park at Eighty-second street it halted, with open ranks faciog inward. The Grand Lodge and Anglo Saxon Lodge passed be tween toe lines and proceeded to tbe site of tlie obelisk escorted by the Grand Marshal and staff Following the Grand Lodge came the District Dep uty Grand Master, and after them the roasters and wardens of toe lodges. The marshals then assumed command of their lodges, aud the ranks closed. The col umn, beginning at toe head, massed around the base of the obelisk. The Grand Master and grand officers occupied the platform, supported by the masters and wardens of lodges. The Knights Templar were massed on toe west side, and the lodges on the north and east side, leaving the south side for visitors. The stone was then placed in position by toe Grand Master, with ceremonies accord ing to tlie Masonic ritual. The Observance of the Sabbath. The article on the above subject by Rev. Dr. Leonard Bacon, in tbe North American Review, is a masterly vindica tion of the duty of observing toe Sabbath' as a day of rest and religious service, anil shows the folly -and sin of devoting it cither to labor or revelry and dissipation.- It cites the fact that in Us secular aspect the Sabbath, that is, the measurement of time by tbe week, each period of six days separated from the next by a day of rest from ordinary labor, is a social in stitution oi prehistoric origin; aud that the Christian Sabbath is characteristic of alt the nations in the foremost rank of civilization. When China, the writer says, sliall have learned to recognize toe Christian Sabbatb, and when Sunday in stead of Friday shall be toe Sabbath in Turkey and Egypt, then those countries shall have advanced from the semi-civilized to the civilized class. He argues with great force that the Sab bath, whatever its origin or authority, is the workingman’s day of rest; that rest is not gloom nor revelry, but a day forborne enjoyment, bringing with it opportunity for thought and conference; that a Sab bath-keeping people will be a thoughtful people, and such thoughtfulness is manli ness; that a Sabbath-keeping people are greater in peace and in war for toe char acter which its tranquil aud thoughtful Sabbaths have impressed upon it; that even from pre-hisloric times a religious element must have entered into the con ception of a day of rest; that earlier than synagogue or temple or tabernacle, tbe resting on the appointed day was itself a religious service, and that this naturally led to prayer and other religious services. And he emphasizes the importance of guarding against the obviously certain tendencies which are now at work against the preservation of the Christian Sabbath. He insists that while the jurisdiction of tlie State docs not extend to the religious question, yet it has the right to recognize the weekly rest as beneficial to the commonwealth, and may provide by law and by the enforce ment of law, that every man shall have the privilege of that rest, and may protect public worship, though he would leave to individuals the religious duties and. en joyments incident to it, whieh he de scribes in a beautiful and glowing perora tion.

A report was read by the'lrustees of the missionary relief fund, in wh'cli they re- quested-to be discharged from further con sideration of tbe question, owing to tlie contributions from the churches having fallen off to such an extent that it was not worth while to continue the fund. Under instructions from the diocesan council of Virginia, Rev.

Kino Qumbekt has recently pajd a visit to Florence for the purpose, more than anything else, of doing something to aid too Florentines. When Florence was made the capital of the Italian kingdom, the people of that city, in their new-found importance, indulged in all manner of municipal expenses. Their impression was that their city would grow rapidly in size and wealth, and that toe burdens as sumed could be easily borne. Bat it turn ed out otherwise. When the capital was removed to Rome, as befog historically i and geographically the fittest place, the Florentines were left weighed down with a heavy load of municipal indebtedness. As some sort of compensation, the late King agreed to have the facade of the cathedral which lias been in an unfinished condition, for centuries, completed. This work, laid out by liis father, King Humbert has 'now- undertaken. He lias headed a subscrip tion paper, which has been signed by wealthy men all over Italy. The sculp-, tors who ara to make the statues that are to line toe portico and fill the niches have volunteered their services, and a very large amount of mosaic work is to be given at merely the cost of the material and common labor. Even toe working men needed have agreed to labor at a lower rate, and by these various contribu tions the church- which Brunelleschi de signed will be completed.
