FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10.1880
Tire grapes of Italy are now exported
in extraordinary quantities into Russia,
Germany and France, where they are
manufactured into better wine than Is at
present made in Italy.
Queen Victoria is said to feel an ut
ter indifferance to cold and uncomfortable
weather generally. When she arranges
any expedition sho invariably carries it
out on the day appointed, regardless of
rain or auow.
A Monsieur Loilet has been recently
dredging the Sea of Galilee. It has a
depth of 250 metres and contalus twelve
species of fish. The majority of these
spedes have the singular habit of hatch
ing their eggs and sheltering their young
in their mouths.
About sixteen hundred bills on the
calendar, says the Sun, await Congress at
at its reassembling in final session. Short
work will be made with most of them;
they will never become laws. Nearly a
thousand of tho number are individual
benefit bills; and of the public hills many
can be grouped within the regular appro
priations if ot real importance.
Forney, commenting in the Fhiadcl-
phia Progress on the result of the election,
says that “we now face the empire, and
there is but one great force to meet it—
the Democratic party. Garfield only
fills the gap for Grant. I write this name
with a new feeling, that of profound re
gret that one I love so well should sink
so low. First the defender of the forgiven
South, then its defamer. First eager to
honor Hancock for his virtues, then to
hound him as an enemy. And this is the
man who wants to play the pai. of King
hereafter.”
Tire bridegroom of a Wauhegan wed
ding was a Baptist and tho bride a Metho
dist. They had agreed that immediately
after the ceremony they would decide
by chance who ahould embiace the other’s
religion. The officiating clergyman de
clined to toss up a cent, partly because he
would uot countenance such a proceeding,
and partly because, being a Methodist,
he might be accused of fraud if tho bride
won. The bride herself finally threw the
coin and lost. When she went to join the
Baptists, however, they rejected her be
cause site did uot believe in close com
munion. That displeased tho husband,
and he went over with her to the Metho
dists.
Tire flag of tho rrophet is in the cus
tody of the Mohammedan chief priest,
Shiek-ul-Islam, and is kept in the mosque
of St. Sophia in Stamboul. It Is made of
green silk. There Is a largo crescent on
the top of the staff, from which hangs a
lioree hair plume, claimed to have been
the tail of Mohammed’s favorite horse.
On tho folds of the flag are displayed the
crescent and certain quotations from the
Koran. Mohammed adopted green as his
emblematic color because nature Is green,
and it Is “everlasting and universal.”
The following words are on the flag: “All
who draw the swonl. will bo rewarded
with temporal advantages; every drop of
tliiir blood shed, every peril and hardship
endured by them, will be registered on
high as more meritorious thau either fas
ting or praying. If they fall In battle
their sins will be at once blotted out, and
they will be transported to Paradise, there
to revel In eternal pleasures in the arms
of black eyed hourics. But for tbe tint
heaven are reserved those of the faithful
who die within sight of the green flag of
the Prophet. There may no man give or
expect money.”
Another Woman’s Venture.—The
failure of the Womau’s Bank of the noto
rious Mrs. Howe, of Boston, is now fol
lowed by the explosion of a New York
«I.«ies’ Mining and Stock Exchange,”
and the disappearance of the manager,
a Mrs. M. E. Warren, who seems to be
anxiously looked for, hut so far in vain.
Tills was a speculative affair, which took
“margins” from confiding ladies, promis
ing them fortunes in return as the result
of operations in stocks. The object of
this concern, like that ol Mrs. Howe, pre-
teuded to bo benevolent entirely. It claim
ed to have capital enough of its own, but
would receive deposits from ladies in
order to give them the chance to multiply
their incomes. The depositers had grown
to be quite numerous by tho time of the
exposure of Mrs. Howe's swindle, hut
this seems at once to have alarmed the de
positors and the bankers, and tho latter
closed their doors on November 1. There
are said to bo at least a hundred victims
of these operations, who have lost sums
varying from $25 to $0,005. They are
chiefly persons who conld not afford to
lose, and who, for that reason, should
have abstained from risking tbeir little
all on such uncertain ventures.
Election of Ex'Gov. Brown.
The total vote cast by both houses, in
the senatorial election, was 213, of which
two-thirds would be 142. Ex-Gov. Brown
received, In both houses, 140 votes, and is,
therefore, elected by more than two-thirds,
nc is Uuited States Senator from Georgia
by both a constiutlonal and byanomlnating
majority; and on both grounds is entitled
to the assent of the Democratic party of
the State. On the point of party usage
ami general harmony, therefore, let per
sonal opposition b® withdrawn, and the
new Senator have that degree of counte
nance and support which will enable him
to achieve the best results for the State.
The speech of Gov. Brown at DeGive’s
Opera House, as published In the Consli-
tuffon of Tuesday, does not add anything
to tho adroit defense of his political rec
ord which he has already made In pub
lished letters. It is, for the most part, a
recapitulation of the arguments ho has al
ready made on that snbject.

One of the most popular ®edicines now
before tbe American public is Hop BUtOT.
You see it everywhere. People take it
with good effect. It builds them up. It
Is not as pleasant to tho taste as some

It is more like the old fashioned boneset

IN GENERAL.
The Senatorial contest, which begins
to-morrow, is now the absorbing topic.
Both sides will endeavor to crowd as much
work as possible into tbe shorttime which
intervenes. General Lawton delivered his
speech Wednesday niglit, thus giving Gov
ernor Brown ample time to reply. The
latter promptly designated to-night (Mon
day) as tbe time of his reply. This being
tlie last night, it was intended that Gen-;
eral Lawton' should reply at the same
time, supposing that it would be at tlie
House of Representatives, which is free to
all. This has been prevented by the
announcement that, owing to the difficulty
of seating the crowd, Governor Brown
lias secured DeGive’s Opera House in
which to make his speech, which being his
private property for the evening, of course
General Lawton cannot use it for reply
witnout his consent.
To meet this difficulty Gen. Lawton
has addressed a note to Gov. Brown .re
questing tu be allowed to divide time
with him. What response has been made
is not known, but to-night will be lively
in any event. This evening Hon. J. G. C.
Black, addresses the General Assembly
at 4 o’clock in Gon. Lawton’s interest.
He is a fluent speaker and will make an
eloquent address.
In order to prevent division Speaker
Bacon has made no canvass for the sena-
torship, but lias left the race to Gen.
Lawton and Gov. Brown, and has him
self supported Gen. Lawton and will vote
for him. The majority of those who
would have been bis supporters have
gone to Gen. Lawton, while quite a
a number of them have gone to Gov.
Brown. There are some members who
refuse to leave him, and intend to com
pliment the Speaker with their vote. Tlie
voting begins Tuesday at 12 m.
The Senatorial and other elections have
so absorbed attention that there has been
little said about otbermatters. Tho pres
ent constitution imposes a difficult i.’sk
upon the Legislature. It has cut down
tlie time one half for legislation, and has
at the same time doubled the work iu ad
ding the duty of electing a swarm of offi
cers.
There are thirty odd judges and solid-
tors-general to be elected and each vote
must be taken viva voce, involving a call
of the entire roil. Each call oflhejoiut
roll consumes more than half an hour. A
majority of ail the votes is necessary to
elect, and on account of the large number
of Candidates for each office, iusoiue in
stances half a dozen ballots will doubtless
be necessary to effect an election.
In one thing tlie House of Representa
tives has so far had a remarkable experi
ence. It has bceu in session ten days, and
oacli day every particle of business has
been disposed of before adjournment.
Sucli a complete dispatch of business each
day has never before been seen.
It gave me much pleasure to see at my
right band the kind face of my old friend,
Major Herbert, the accurate aud reliable
correspondent of tbe Savannah News.
Long may tlie Major live to enjoy tlie
reputation his writing and careful indus
try have bestowed upon him.

Gov. Brown spoke in DeGive’s Opera
House last night to an immense audience.
The theatre was literally packed from
top to bottom, with a most enthusiastic
throng. For two hours Gov- Brown held
the multitude and in a quiet, gentle man
ner set forth tho various charges made
against him, and then entered upon tlieir
refutation calmly and conclusively. I do
not think I ever witnessed a more com
plete success in my life. There was no
attempt at oratory whatever. Iu fact, the
speech was couched in plain, almost com
monplace words and style, but never for
an iustance did tbe attention and interest
of tbe audience flag during tho whole re
cital. At tho end of tho evening there
was scarcely a man in tho house who did
not believe that Joe Brown was tlie man
for the place, and the place was fitted to
the man.
An immense crowd witnessed the con
test this morning. Carolynn.

An Interesting Case in Prospect.
From time to lime we Imre mentioned
in these columns the fact that warrants
have been issued by Col. E. C. Wade,
collector of internal revenue and United
States commissioner, against parties charg
ed with violations of the inter
nal revenue laws. It is now
stated that at tlm approaching
session of the United Stales Circuit Court
steps will be taken to test tbe iegality of
such warrauts, and to establish a rule in
reiat loti thereto.
-The law Imposes upon Collector Wade
tilie duty of prosecuting such offenders, or
reporting them to the United States dis
trict attorney, and tlie act of prosecuting
them before himself, sitting as United
States commissioner, Lite affidavits being
made by his own deputies in tlieir official
characters, and the evidence being fur
nished, iu part, by the records of bis own
office as collector, is not regarded as tbe
proper thing by some of the attorneys. It
remains to be seen wbat view the coart
will take of sucli practices.
It is surmised that Col. Wade’s conduct
In the premises is prompted by dissatisfac
tion as collector witli the acts of other
commissioners iu discharging prisoners
when, in their judgment, the evidence did
not justify them in committing for trial,
but where, in the judgment of Col. Wade,
the evidence was sufficient. Certainly he
cannot have been controlled by considera
tion for the fees attached, as the law ex
pressly prohibits any officer of tbe United
•States receiving a salary of $2,500 per an
num or over from receiving compensation
from tbe United States for tbe discharge
of tbe duties of any other office. It is
therefore reasonable to suppose that Col.
Wade is not actuated by considerations of
a pecuniary nature, but, as intimated, that
lie may lu such cases render decisions
more in accord with his own vlows as col
lector of revenue. Being charged with
the duty of prosecuting tliat class of of
fenses, and his commendation by his supe
rior officers being proportionate with his
zeal, he might not require such convincing
evidence of guilt as would bo demanded
by commissioners less interested iu results.
Frequently, In his official capacity as
collector, he balled upon to advise or
recommend tho acceptance of compromise
offers by tho implicated persons to the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, at
Washington, and possibly, as one attorney
suggests, be may be enabled to do so more
intelligently from having lirst heard all
the evidence in liLs capacity of examining
magistrate. There is no dpnbt that some
good (even if it be a mi:. Jcen) motive,
lies at the bottom of Col. Wade’s con
duct.— Savannah News.
.The Synod of Georgia.
This body met at the Presbyterian
church on Wednesday evening at half
past seven. The opening sermon was
preached by Dr. Montgomery, who subse
quently called the Synod to order, as the
former moderator. The Synod adjourned
until 9 o'clock on Thursday morning.
The body re-convened on Thursday morn
ing with Dr. Montgomery in the chair.
After prayer and roll call tbo Synod pro
ceeded to elect officers. J. L. Rogers, of
Atlauta, was elected moderator; tempora
ry clerk, Rev. A. W. Ciisby, of Macon;
reading or assistant clerk, Rev. Mr. Axon,
of Rome. Tbe committee on order of bus-
iucss was announced, letteis read and re
port of tiustees of Oglethorpo College re
ceived aud referred lo appropriate com
mittee on finauce. The courtesies of the
floor were extended to visitors from other
churches.
There were 40 ministers and 21 elders
present.
The body is an able and dignified
one and is progressing satisfactorily and
promptly with the business before them.
The delegates, both lay and ministerial,
are comfortably quartered, and we trust
tlieir stay in Thomasyille may be
pleasant.
To-morrow all tbe churches in the
place will be filled by ministers attending
the Synod.
Owing to tho early hour at which we
go to press, it is impossible to give full
proceedings ol tho Synod,— Ihomasvllle
