snat j0uciral ^r^bstngtt- THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21.1SS0, The London Economist is not very sanguine as to Mr. Thomas Hughes’ Ten nessee experiment. * The conscience money sent to the Chancellor of the English Exchequer-last year amounted to Over $30,000.' A becest report shows that the increase in the consumption of horse and ass flesh is large afid steady in France. . * Tmc Crowd Princess of Germany was so much pleased last winter with Pegli, near Genoa, that she will Teturtj. to 'pass the coming winter there wjtliher husband and children. ~- 'f. Capt. James B. Eads, the projector of the ship railroad across the Isthmus of Darien, says that there is every prospect of the success of the scheme, and that the work was once started he could com plete it within three years. t • i Dit. Tanneb has at last met his match, and more than his match. ; A calf in Holt county, Missouri, got: entangled in a pile of rails, and remained ip that posi tion for a period of forty-one days, without food or water. It came out all right. Seventeen Mormon elders arrived at St. Lonts Friday from Utah, and left Sa turday for Tennessee, Georgia, and Ala bama, Mississippi, North Carolina and Virginia, whither 1 they go to, make con verts to the Mormon faith and secure Mormon emigrants to Colorado. Tlio following advertisement appears in a Dublin paper: “To Landowners.— A gentleman who is practically acquainted with the management of landed estates, who has resided in Ireland and who has no objection to being shot at, is prepared to undertake an agency in any part of Ireland. Highest references given.” Mk. and Mrs. Tinsley were divorced years ago, at Cohimhus, Ind. Both made subsequent matrimonial ventures, he tak- , dug four wives in succession^ and she two husbands. At length, both being free, they discussed their varied experience, admitted that neither had been nappy since their parting, and finally were re united. London Court Journal presents an in novation in the style of dresses of brides maids at a recent wedding.

The latest returns from West Virginia show that the whole Democratic State ticket has been elected by about seven teen thousand majority. The returns show a Democratic gain of 2,237 from thirty-seven counties, while fifteen coun ties, are not yet heard from. Gov. Mathew’s majority in 1S76 was 12,729. A Most remarkable instance of the abil ity of man to survive the greatest injuries is illustiated in the case of Max Walters, of Buffalo, who recently was severely hurt by falling into a well. He was impaled upon a piece of wood by the fall, the stick passiug completely through his body, en tering at the abdomen and coming out at the shoulder. The sarcophagus of Roger of Tuscany, Bishop of Lausanne, who was buried in Lausanne Cathedral in 1220, was opened a few weeks ago. The body was almost intact, the features wore perfectly recog nizable, and the six and a half centuries had not sufficed to destroy the texture of his episcopal robes. , | Tub New York papera publish a card, signed by a number of leading men in the tea, coffee and sugar trade of that city, urging the election of Gen.

One op the Six Hundred.—John Cornelius of Flumstcad, England, fell dead as he was ruuning home out of the raiu. He was one of the “noble 600” who charged at Balaclava in ’54. Although the “Charge of the Light Brigade” will be forever renowned in English song and story, grateful England allowed Corne- . lius to break stone on the road for the magnificent recompense of twenty-five cents a day. The census makes it tolerably- clear that the Utah problem will soon demand settlement. The Territory has increased in population nearly seventy per cent, in the last ten years. It now has a popula tion of 145,000, which is far greater than the number required of other Territories before admittance as States. Yet the obstacle of polygamy is still in the way of Utah, . The Utica Observer says that there are 300,000 more Democrats in this country than there aro Republicans. There are really more Democrats in 1 each i>f the Northern States of Connecticut, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, In diana, Colorado, Nevada and California than there are Republicans. These Dem ocrats can give Winfield Scott Hancock a splendid majority, and enjoy a Democrtic administration, if they choose to dot so. It Is asserted that Sir Travers Twiss, ex-Queen’s Advocate and a high authority on international law, Jias given it as his opinion that “Mr. A. Bartlett’s grandfather having been an Englishman, and he him self having never accepted tho position of an alien, his father’s naturalization in America does not in the slightest affect the sou’s position as a citizen by original right of this country. He need not have become naturalized; his deed of naturaliza tion was so much waste paper. He is an Engliahman—he may become tho husband of Baroness Burdett-Coutts without her osingany money.” Ocean soundings quids with what is known as Sir William Thomson’s steel wire sLows that along the entire coast of • California a depth of 1,500 fathoms or more Is readied as near as within a dis tance of from twenty to seventy miles westward from the shores, the greater part of this sudden fall occurring in the last ten to fifty miles. At 100 miles west of San Francisco the bottom is found to be over 2,500 fathoms deep. The bed of the ocean continues of a uniform depth great er than 1,500 fathoms until the Sandwich Islands are reached, the greatest depth being 3,000 fathoms, at a distance of 400 miles east of Honolu which depth is maintained uutil within ninety miles of Honolulu; at fifty miles from that place he depth is 1,500 fathoms.

Tho only sur vivors are VVjUiam llisseli, mate, ami An gus Tincklatpr, tho captain’s brother. Tbe latter reports that the vessel left Chicago with a smart breeze Friday evening, but the steering apparatus soon became worth less and the schooner was at the mercy of the waves, and the storm hourly increas ed in .violence. Saturday noon the .stow* ard and a sailor died of exposure, ftnd he himself ..prayed for death;. Sunday at noon land was sighted, and they! began to make a ratt.

Holland, Mich,, October 19.—Frag ments of a wreck, supposed ' to ibe the steamer Alpena of the Goodrich Line, have come ashore one mile north of this harbor. Among them is a bucket marked “Steamer Alpena.” There seems to bfe little doubt that the vessel is lost, and that all on board.perished. Her new and pas sengers.numbered fifty or sixty. * j ' Chicago, October 19.—'The steatnharge Trader, which was wrecked in the redent storm, 'Went to, pieces op the east coast of Lake Michigan. She was commanded by Frank Brown, and had a crew of ten mm. All hands probably perished. 1 • ; TJ I - Important Teat Case. New York, October 19.—A case came up in tlieUnited States Cohrt here to-day which is of considerable importance to all importers who have paid-diity on the val uation of foreign goods in' foreign silver coin according to the scale of equivalent spicie values used by the United States Treasury Department up to the present year. The controversy arises-'ont. of the depreciation,' *~of American silver. Merchants contend J that in col lecting the duty in 1878' and 1879 on goods, for instance from China, valued on the iuvoices in Mexican dollars, the government should not have assumed that the value in Mexican dollars was equiva lent to the value in American silver dol lars of 4121 grains, and collected duty on that number of dollars’ worth. On the contrary, iL should have reduced the value of the goods in Mexican dollars to an equivalent value in Americau gold dol lars, aud made this sum tbe basis fur the imposition of duty.. This was practically done in January, this year, by a change in the official scale of equivalent values of foreign and do mestic coins adopted by the Treasury De partment, which is based upon the. Amer ican gold dollar. The present suit, which is entitled Hadden vs. Collector, is a test case brought to recover about fifteen per cent, of alleged excess of duty collect ed by reason of the Treasury Depart ment’s adoption of a silver instead of a gold unit of comparison in estimating the value of foreign coins. The decision in the present suit will govern a large num ber of other cases throughout the coun try. The trial will last several weeks. The Atlanta Feace Jubilee. Atlanta, October 19.—The feature of the proceedings to-day wa3 a grand street parade and review of visiting and resident infantry.

Panama, October 6.—Advices from Lima to September 22, represent that the Chilian advance upon that city is about to’ begin, if It has not begun already. Tlic bombardment of Cliorillos, Ancon aud Chancay, which has commenced, and the rapid concentration of troops and ships at Arica, all tend to this conclusion. They assert that they have sixty or seventy steam aud sailing ships m their service and in these they purpose to bring the 40,- 000 men who are to turn Rimrac valley and the City of the Kings into a howling wilderness. Already they have ravaged the whole country lying-to the northward ot tire city—burning and destroying houses, ma chinery, cane and com fields, carrying off stock and cutting down trees. The Chilian authorities assert that the invad ing army will consist of thirty thousand infantry, with two thousand cavalry and one hundred gnus. General Brguedono will be command er-in-chief. There are rumors of media tion, but the Peruvians charge the Chilians with dishonesty and treachery, and say tire war is now assuming a character which will compel both sides to fight to the last, unless foreign powers inter fere. *• A later dispatch, dated September 22d, 1 p. m., says tbe Chilians are carrying out their threat, and that the booming of their guns at Chorillos and Callao can bo dis tinctly heard.

The public is indignant at the drawing of pri vate affairs into politics, and the general sympathy is with Edwardy. Both parties were arrested and gave bond, but the af fair is not considered terminated. Beware of Dogs.—St. Paul’s warning seems as applicable to the welfare of soci ety to-day, as when the language was ut tered in the long ago. We have had ail over Georgia, quite a number of instances of dogs going mad. They have bitten sev eral parties and fatal results have fol lowed. A correspondent writing from the country to the Xewnan JJeraid stys;,. lf ' A negro man, whose name I did not learn, died from effects of a dog bite re ceived two years ago. Ifr was supposed that bis leg took a second growth, from the fact that it grew until it was larger than his body and could not be made to run, though often lanced. Dogs are the most dangerous animals in this country aud should not be allowed to ran at large. Persons who are bit by these animals ot late years scarcely ever recover. New? Items.

John Sherman, . Secre tary of the Treasury—Sib: Some' days ago I saw a report of your spedqli at a conference held by tbe National Republi can Committee, at tbe Fifth Avenue Ho tel, Now York, aud you were quoted as having used the following .language: “And now you are asked to surrender all - you Lave done into, -the bands of Wailo Hampton and the Kuklux aud tiie little segment in the North that is called the Democratic party.” May ! ask if yofi used these words, aud if you did so did : Or the "carries. At tWi time ttva oWUftates of looses ore placed at the following figures: Commer cial wharf, real estate, $50,000; cotton on wharf and in shed, $12,000; Yandarhorste wharf, real estate, $#,000; cbtton on Van- derhorsto wharf, $3,000; office furniture and personal properly, $10,000. .Damage to steamship Barrowdale, $50,000; you mean;-to. connect me . j direqt- ly or indirectly, with what is known as the Kuklux'Klau. Requesting an early re ply-, addressed' tb me, care' of A'ugust Sdiell, Esq., New York, I am, vary re spectfully, your obedient servaut, , Wade Hampton.' Washington, Sept. 21.—To Don. Wade Hampton, New York—Sib : Your note of the 17th instant is received, in which you iuquire whether, at a conference by tiie National 'Republican Committee, at the Fifth-Avenue Hotel, New York,‘I used tiie language attributed -to ine, as follows: “Aud now-.yon are asked to sur- render all you have done into the hands of Wade jaamptou and the Kuklux, and the little segment in the North that is called the Democratic party.” In reply, *1. have to advise you that, while I do not remember the exact • lan guage, I presume tho reporter correctly- stated in a condensed way his idea of what I said. I no doubt spoke of you as a leading representative of the Democratic party in the South, and referred to the Kuklux Kian as a representative of the barbarous agencies by which tho Demo crats have subverted tiie civil and' politi cal rights of the .Republicans of the South. I did not connect you personally with the Kuklux Kian. Indeed, I knew that you had in one or two important instances re sisted and defeated its worst impulses. I appreciate the sense of honor which makes you shrink from being named- in connection with it. Still you and your associates, the lead ing men of the South, now enjoy the ben efits of the political power derived from the atrocities of tiie Kuklux Kian, in which phrase I include tiie numerous ali ases by which it has from time to time been known in tire South. Your power in tiie Southern States rests upon actual crimes af every grade iu tire code of ci imes, from murder to tire meanest form of ballot box stuffing, committed by .the Kuklux Kian and its kindred associates, and, as you know, some of the worst of them committed since 1877, when yon and they gave tiie most soleinu assurances of protection to the freedmen of the South. These crimes are all aimed at tire civil and political rights of Republicans in the South, and, as I believe, but for these agencies tire very State that you represent, a3 well as other States iu the South, would he represented both in the Senate and House by Republicans: But for these crimes, tiie boast attributed to you that tiie 138 solid Southern votes would be cast for the Democratic ticket would be but idle vaporing, but now we feel that it is sober truth. „ While I have no reason to beireve that you or your Northern associates personal ly partiepated in the offenses I] have named, yet while you enjoy the fruits of their crimes, you may in logic and morals be classed as I classed you as joint co partners with the Kuklux Kian, and the policy which thus far has been successful in seizing political power in the South, ami which it is hoped, by the aid of a segment of the Democratic party in the North, may be exteiidesi to all the de partments of government. In this sense it was that I s])oke of you, the Kuklux Kian, and the Northern Democratic par ty. Permit me, in conclusion, in frankly answering your question; to say that tiie most fatal policy for the South would'be by such agencies as I have meutioned to secure again political ascendency in this country, for I assure you that tho' man hood and independence of the North will certainly continue the struggle till; every Republican in the South shall have free and unrestricted enjoyment of equal civil and political privileges, including a fair vote, a fair count, free speech and a free pres3. The agitation made necessary to secure such results may greatly affect, in juriously, the interests of the people of the South. Very respectfully, • - j Your obedient servant, John Sherman. Charlotlexcille, ■ Va., Oct. 13.—Sir : Your letter lias been received, and as you do not disclaim the language to which i called your attention, I have only to say that in using it, you uttered wliat was false, and what you knew to be false. My address will be Columbia, S. C. I am your obedient servant, ’ ' - Wade Hampton. To Hon. >ohn Sherman. Treasury Department, Washington, D. C., Ottober 18.—Don. Wade llampton, Columbia—Sm: I have to acknowledge tire receipt of your note of the lstinstaut, handed to me unopened by Mr. C. Mc Kinley, a few moments ago. After my return from the West, I had this morning read what purported to be an extraqt from a speech made by you, published in the Charleston Nines and Courier, and upon your general reputation as a gentleman' had denied that you had made such a- speech or written such a letter as was at tributed to you in that paper. What I stated to you In my letter oi September 21st, I believe to he true, not withstanding your denial, and -It can be shown to be true by the public records, and as a matter of history; As yoii had, long before your letter was delivered to me, seen proper to make -public a, state ment of your views of the correspondence, I will give it to tire press, withoutnote or comment, and let the public decide be tween us. Very respectfully, John Sherman. i Cotton Fire in Charleston.

Meacham has taken up hiq abode iu the military camp, fearing the vigilan tes from Gunnison. A city officer has been at the agency five days, trying to ef fect the capture of a prisoner who has sent him two communications promising to surrender; but so far has failed to do so. As soon as papers were served on the agent, He gave information to the Utes, who collected at the bridge across the Un- compahgre river, five miles below the agency in order, to rescue the agent from the officer. By his remainieg all night at the military camp, the Indians were foiled and the prisoner made his escape. Ouray, Col., October 18—The agency is in charge of the blacksmith. Agent Berry has telegraphed to Washington for instructions as to the question of stirrend; ering himself. Cline is in jail at Gunni son. Hoyt is looking for a copper mine on the Utah trail, one hundred miles dis tant. Holmes passed through here since dark on horseback attempting to 'escape by way of tiie Lake City trail. He was recognized by the sheriff of Ouray epunty, and a party started in pursuit. The people of Colorado express a determination to have the prisoner if it takes all Winter. The citizens are clamoring for the removal of Meacham and Berry from their official positrons. If the military will remain neutral, the people of the border counties feel confident of settling the difficulty without State or national iiiteifere'nce. Denver, October 18.—A telegrkin. to Governor Pitkin nays Indiau Agent Berry, Hoyt, Cline and Meacham are all how in jail at Gunnison City, charged'with-the murder of Jackson, the freighter. : . At the Liverpool Police Court recently a young lady was fined five shillings and costs for refusing to keep to the right in dece.iding one of the approaches to the landing stage. FINANCIAL.
