The Vermont Legislature, before ad-
Jonrnmcnt on Friday, passed a bill taxing
express and telegraph companies two per
senium on their gross receipts.
Bt far the largest shipment of oranges
from tbe St. John's riser, Florida, on a
single day thl* season, was made Satur
day, the total number being 8,581 boxes,
making 1,287,160 oranges.
Candy Ukhailablk.—It becomes
necessary every Christmas to inform the
public that candy, in any form, is utunall-
able. Fireworks of any dcecnptlon are
excluded from the mails.
Speaking or the Weather.—A col
ored statesman, in speaking of tbe recent
had weather, gave zest to that hackneyed
topic when he said: “It is so eniloshed
and dlsembomlnated dat a man can’t un
derstand bis own lootsteps.”
The Tribune saya the stability of great
iron piers, like those at Long Branch and
Coney Island, is plainly a question of
some doubt. The damage by the recent
atorm to tbe Long Branch pier is estima
ted all the way from $10,000 to $25,000.
High-Priced Hat.—Hay is now sell
ing In San Juan county, Col., for $300 p*r
ton. This Is pretty well up, but it is still
far behind wbat was seen on the Com
stock in early days. All old timers will
remember when hay sold at 25 cents per
pound. Green grass was then retailed at
10 cents per pound.
A Valuable Caroo.—Twelve hun
dred cases of silkworms’ eggs were ship
ped to Italy by the French steamer from
New York Wednesday. They were
brought from Yokohama. Tbe actual
eost there was $3 per card. Tbe eggs are
packed In cases, each containing about
I, 200 cards. There are fine eggs to bo had
in Italy, but the recent sickness among tbe
Worms baa prompted these importations
from Japan. The cargo was valued at
$1,200,000.
The grand Jury in New Orleans is
again investigating tbe alleged bribery by
which the New Orleans City Brilway
Company obtained the right of way for
twenty-five years lor certain railroads,
tor which rightthey paid $630,000, though
more money bad been oilered by other
bidders. President Wintz, of the com
pany, was questioned yesterday, but, re
fusing to answer as to who had received
the bribes, was sent to the parish prison
for fire days for contempt.
“Ip you want a good laugh,” says the
London World, "go to Benham’a rooms,
Prince street, Leicester square, and in
spect the Duchess of Somerset’s ward
robe, lace, jewels, Ac., which are on view
there previous to their sale. The ladiea
there were aimply screaming with laugh
ter at tbe extraordinary exhibition, which,
among other curious items of the toilet,
includes the Duke’s tooth brushes. Per
haps it is thought that there are people
who hope to obtain a ducal polish by the
acquisition of these brushes.”
Businas of Congress.—Congress on
reassembling after the holidays will have
forty-nine working days left, and there is
no doubt that with tbe proper attention
to buslneas everything that is necessary
may be disposed of by tbe 4th of March,
and any excuse lor an extra session be
obviated. Tbe House has already dispos
ed of four of tbe appropriation bills, more
will be ready to act upon as soon as the
holiday recess is over, and the Senate, if
so disposed, can put all tbe appropriation
bills through as fast as received from the
House.
The ban Francisco Call says: There
is something deliciously amusing in tbe
way Mr. Sankey combines musical in
struction and religious fervor all in the
same breath. He lings bis solo, sbouU
out his instructions, and trolls out the
chorus in tbe most indefatigable manner,
and varies the programme in thiswise:
Sings—“What must it be tube there; tu
bo there; oh, what must it be tu be there.
(Now, all sing—chorus); Ob, what must
it bo (louder) tube there (that’s good) tu
be there (now pianissimo) o—ob, wbat it
must it be to be there. (There, now, you
sang that very well—let’s have him again,
and be sure you mind that pianissimo.
Now!) Wbat must it be," Ac. It adds
so much to one’s religious feelings to re
peat the same verse to get tbe exact em
phasis on tbe tu.
Senator Williams ha* succeeded in
having the bill to pension tbe soldiers of
the Mexican war made the special order
for the 8th of January. Tbe Republican
organs are all opposed to pensionirg the
Mexican veterans and their recent howls
about tbe magnitude of this year’s pension
appropriation simply portend their oppo
sition to the Mexican war measure. It
was a shameful piece of business that,
in voting several hundred millions of e*
tra pensions to soldiers of the lata war,
tbe attempt to secure some consideration
for tbe Mexican veterans was bitterly and
successfully opposed. Tbe ground of Re
publican obpoeition is that some of tbe
Mexican veterans served in the Confeder
ate army.
Condition or the Atlantic Cables.
An enormous capital of .£7,000,000 la rep
resented by four cables (not five, as the
fifth cable belongs to the Direct Company,
Which has its own capital). The condition
of these cables at the present time is as
follows: cable laid In 1865, broke March
II, 1873, and fiualiy abandoned, as per
report, Febuaiy 1, 1878. Cable laid in
1865, broke January 13, 1877, and aban
doned, as per secretaty’s letter to tbe
Times, July 27,1878. This cable has been
resuscitated (except as regards tbe shore
ends) by a new cable laid this summer.
Cable laid in 1860, broke Febuary 22,
1879, and repaired August 10,1870. last
week this cable was again broken, and a
welt-informed correspondent stated bn
Saturday last that the cable was too rotten
to admit of any renewed attempt to re
pair It. Cable laid in 1874 is at present
in working order. It will thus be seen
that of the four cables which stand iu tbe
mmpaniea’ books at £7,000,000 sterling,
two are now worthless; consequently one-
half of the capital, say £3,500,000,[is abso
lutely lost. Another cable—that laid in
1$T4— has already spent six yean of its
Mft; and as the duration of an Atlantic
eable is ascertained to be about tea years,
fit foilawa that four yoan hsnea one eable
only will remain to tell the tale of a capi
tal expenditure of £7,000,000. And even
this cable (being laid in 1880) will then
have bat six years more to live. Now,
what is being done towards a renewal
of this precarious property? Tbe answer
is, incredible as itmay.appear,nothing!
Last Week's Cotton Figures.
The New York Commercial and Fi
nancial Chronicle of Saturday reports tbe
receipts of tbe seven days ending Friday
night, 24tb !nstant,at 237,980 bales,against
207,601 the corresponding week of last
year. Total since 1st of last September
3,257,664 bales, against 8,012,549 bales up
to same date last year, showing an in
crease of 245,115 bales.
The interior port business of these days
was as follows: Receipts 120,811, against
112,216 for the same week of last year.
Shipments 105,025, against 90,793. Stocks
310,015, against 364,926 at tame date last
year.
The Chronicle's visible supply table
shows 2,754,063 bales of cotton in sight
last Friday, against 2,523,351 last year at
samo date; 2,413,854 in sight at fame
date in 1878, and 2,452,004 in sight in
1877 at same date. These figures show
an increase of 231,612 bales on tbe visible
supply of 1870; 341,104 bales on the sup
ply of 1878, and 302,350 bales on the
supply of 1877, at same dates.
Middling upland in the Liverpool market
last Friday was quoted at 611-16; at the
same date last year the quotation was
6 15-16; in 1878 it was 5}, and in 187751.
The Chronicle appends the followingto
its table of receipts from plantations:
1. That the total receipts from the
plantations since Sept. 1 in 1880 were
3,546,736 bales; In 1879 were 3,870,174
bales; in 1878 were 2,864,765 bales.
The Chronicle’s weather telegrams of
Friday for tbe week ending on that day
report a general improved condition,
which is not apparent. In Texas, Galves
ton bad hard rain on four days. Much
cotton remains unpicked, and little pros
pect that it will be gathered. At Indian-
ola there was rain on five days. Ticking
suspended and probably ended. At Cor
sicana, rain on three days. Picking sus
pended. At Dallas and Brenliam, rain
on three days. Picking suspended after
the early part of tbe week. At Waco the
same, and roads impassable everywhere.
In Louisiana, at New Orleans, there
was rain on four days and a fall of 2.76.
At Shreveport there was 2.11 of rainfall
in tbe week. In Arkansas, at Little Rock,
there were rain and snow on Snnday and
Wednesday, and raining hard on Friday.
At Nashville, Tennessee, it rained hard
on four days. In Alabama, at Mobile, It
rained severely on one day. At Mont-
gomeiy, rain on three days. At Selma,
rain on two days. In Georgia, at Colum
bus, it rained on two days to the depth of
an Inch. At Savannah, rain on three
day a to the depth of 1.72. In Augusta
there were light rams on the first fire
days of the week.
PROSPECTS.
Ellison A Co.’s Liverpool circular, of
December S, has this to say:
So far as demand is concerned, the ac
counts from all quarters point to a contin
ued large consumption. English spinners
and manufacturers hold no stocks of mo
ment of either yarns or goods, while they
are for the most part largely under con
tract for forwata delivery. The advices
from the Continent are also of a hopeful
tenor; decidedly more so than they were
a short time back.
With respect to supply, tbe interest of
the public is still centred in tbe probable
out-torn of tbe American crop, respecting
which there is quite a hot controversy
going on. Tbe favorite estimate ranges
between 5,700,000 and 6,000,000 bales,
but there are some authorities who look
for over 6,000,000, and others who expect
iess than 6,700,000 bales. At the mo
ment there la no room for dogmatism on
tbe point, and until towards tbe close of
the present month all estimates must be
more or less guess work. From India It
la expected that the supply will be about
tbe same as that received laat season.
From Egypt there will be a considerable
decrease. Last saason tbe exports reached
about 460,000 balea of about 630 lbs; tbia
season it is thought that they will fall from
80,000 to 100,090 balea (equal to from
110,000 to 140,000 bales of American
weight) short of that total. The Brazils
it is expected will send something (per
haps 50,000 biles of 180 lbs.) more than
last season.
Taking a broad view of tbe situation,
we see no reason, as respects the matter
of the probable future course ol prices, to
add anything to tbe remarks contained in
the concluding paragraph of our Annual
Report issued in October. We did not
sympathize with the large-crop and low-
price opinions entertained in many quar
ters two months ago (when December de
liveries were selling at 6 9-32d., and many
parsons talked of 6fd. to 6d. as likely to be
witnessed in that month), nor do we
now: and what hai since transpired has
justified the views then expressed. But
after tbe advance which bss taken
place we with to get a nearer ap
proximation of tbe size of tbe
American crop than is at present possible
before saying anything further about tbe
probable future course of the market.
Meanwhile, we may obeerva that too
muck importance Is being attached to the
crop question and too Uule to that of the
state of trade. People seem to forget
that in tbe regulation of price demand has
quite as much influence as supply, and
that sentiment is often, for a time, a more
powerful factor than either. Tbe histoiy
of tbe past ought to teach some of our
cotton prophets a little modesty, but to
some of them, at all events, experience
appear* to be of no value.
The Educational Bill in the Senate.
Tbe Boston Post is at a loss to account
for tbe votes of 8outbem Senators on tbe
Educational bill. It says: ‘'Prior to tbe
war tbe Democrat# of that section were
solid and noted for adherence to State
rights. As we have heretofore intimated
the idea ol distributing tbe proceeds of tbe
sales of public lands was resitted with
tbe utmost vigor, to tbe extent of calling
forth a veto from President Jackson.
Wbat, it is pertinent to Inquire, has oc
curred to modify tbe views of Southern
Democrats ? Tbe constitution baa un
dergone no change. Tbe danger of con
solidation is as great at heretofore. Tbe
drift in that direction is stronger than
ever. Tbe Republican party is more bold
and persistent In iu overslaugh of State
rights than any previous organization,
and Its leaders are not only exultant but
have tbe hardihood to cast imputations in
the face of Democrat* of having deserted
their principles. This condition of things
sevms to demand tome explanation.”
By way of rejoinder the Philadelphia
Record says: “The explanation desired
by the Pott lies in three words—Old Line
Whigs. A groat many of these people
have drifted into the Democratic party
where they do not belong.” We tbink
oor contemporary misses tbe mark wide
ly so fares the Sooth is concerned, at
least. Tbe bill waa almost unanimously
supported without reference to old party
alignments by the people of this section
a* an act of justice to tbs Ignorant masses,
who have been clothed with tbe ballot
while usable to make intelligent use of
tbe privilege.
It ice significant symptom of the fading
prospects of the proposed World's Fair,
•ays the. Bulletin, that Col. W. L. Strong
bee resigned the chairmanship of the Exe
cutive Committee, mainly for reasons, w*
understand, that os—am his naif r sap set.
Caaadam in the Church.
A Brave jlnd Timely Discourse.
Those who were privileged to listen to
the sermon of Rev. Dr. Warren, the pas
tor of the First Baptist Church, in the
forenoon or the past Sabbath, will be con
strained to admit that for calm dignity,
tenderness, faithful dealing, bold, incisive
counsel and rebuke, appositeniss, and a
due regard for the feelings of bla auditors,
the messenger of the Most High God came
fully up to the measure and standard of
his duty. It was evident that the big
heart of the speaker, which wells over
with the milk of human kindness, was
deeply pained at the necessity Imposed
upon him of lifting np his voice against
the latitndinarianism which had crept
into the church, but at the samo time he
did not in any wise shrink from the task.
Without tbe least show of feeling or ma
levolence, but, on the contrary, with, the
deepest sadness and “speaking as a dying
man to dying men,” he laid bare the in
consistencies, follies and even criminal
conduct of many of God’s professed be
lievers in yielding to the temptations and
seductions which are incident to tbe
present low state of religion.
“We have no king but Ctesar” were
the ringing words of the text, which was
drawn irom a portion of the 15th verse
of the I9th chapter of the Gospel ac
cording to St. John.
Writing from memory only, of course
we can furnish no transcript of Dr.
Warren’s sermon,,or pretend to do more
than give a faint outline of the scope of
his remarks, necessarily omitting the
solemn and magnificent filling out of the
graphic production. He began by saying,
that of late we had heard, and read much
in the public prints, concerning the
tendency to centralism and “Cawarlsm”
in American politics. Tbe dangers of the
“ONE MAN POWER”
bad been fully descanted upon and
recognized. It was lor him now, how
ever, to show, and hold up to reprobation
the fact, that Caesarian proclivities had
even invaded the sacred precincts of
God's visible church. As a watchman
upou the walls of Zion, it devolved upon
him to perform this painful duty, how
ever distasteful to himself and hearers.
Some of these “Csesarisms” the speaker
delineated as follows;
1. It was the custom of certain church
members to consider that they had a per
fect right to dispose of their means and
substance just as they pleased, and with
out regard to tbe peculiar wants and re
quisitions of tbe ecclesiastical authorities.
They bad worked for and earned their
wealth by thelrown unaided exertions, and
therefore were resolved to be the almoners
of their own bounty. This independence
of counsel and the recommendations of
the church in the matter of alms, was
nothing less than “Csssrism.”
2. There were not a few Christians who
in regard to their attendance upon the
stated services of the Lord’s Day, acted
as though they were under no obligation
to visit the tabernacles of the Most High
on Hu appointed Sabbaths. A little rain,
inclement weather, sl : gbt indisposition,
fatigue, or any other trivial cause was
sufficient to keep them away from tbe
courts of the Lord, despite the positive
command of Jehovah, that we shonld not
forsake “the assembling of onnelves to
gether” for His praise and glory. This
was CiBsarlsm.
3. Habitual theatre-goers were guilty
of CaesarUm, in that they forsook the
prayer meeting and God’s appointed means
of grace, to minister to their own pleas
urable gratification amid scenes which, in
the majority of esses, were depraving in
thelrefTect upon the imagination and heart.
Tbe speaker did not mean to sit in judg
ment upon tbe acts of any, bat would ask
if it were possible for the earnest believer
to delight in the frivolous performances
and usually demoralizing renditions of
the stage and still retain bu lore for Christ
and holy things.
4. “CbnstUn theatricals,” Sabbath school
performances and eleemosynary operas
are all “Caesarian” in their tendency npon
true piety. They break down the barriers
ofmodeaty, inspire a lore of display, dis
sipate serious thoughts and impressions,
and ptrbapa may engender a passion for
tbe stage and its doleful concomitant*
which may work the rain of many a
promising youth. These exhibitions are
popular, and were considered perfectly le
gitimate, but be would warn tbe people of
of his charge against their disastrous influ
ence upon tbe church.
6. Tbe fearfiil Increase in lottery ven
tures, and the raffling mania in religious
festivals and other entertainments for
saered purposes, was another form of
“Csssarizm” among God’s followers,
calculated to inspire the deepeet alarm in
the church. Thank God, so far these
lotteries, which lead the way to tbe bar
room and gambling table, were not counte
nanced In many churches; but If that
baleful spirit, which seeks by the revolu
tions of the “wheel of fortune” and tbe
throw of tbe dice only to eke outm sub
sistence or acquire wealth without honest
labor or effort, be continued, the effect
must be terrible upon tbe entire commu
nity. So rapid is the growth of this pop
ular custom that the speaker believed that
unless discountenanced and trampled un
der foot by the good and virtuous, in Jive
yean no merchant in Macon wonld be able
to find costomen without offering prizes
to be contended for by hit patrons with-,
out money and without price.
0. Some men, because they pay their
debts and strictly observe all business con
tracts and obligations, believo they are
jnstly entitled to tbe favor and protection
of God, without obeying bis other com
mands and precepts. This was nothing
save arrogant “Cssaarisa.” They wish to
dominate Jenovab, and run rough-shod
over His written law, to subserve tfaoir
own selfish designs.
7. Tbe modem dance is also nothing
more than the outblrth of Cssaarism in
tbe church.
Dr. Warren said be was not tbe con
science-keeper of any one, and desired to
give no offense on this occasion to his an-,
ditors. Perhaps at some future period he
weald preach at length npon this (object.
For tbe present, be wonld be content to
peas on, after relating a single incident
tooebing tbe matter under consideration.
Not long since, a gentleman escorted
one of his lady friends to a social gather
ing, where the “round dance” was intro
duced during tbe evening’s entertain
ment.
Soon after they were seated, one of tbe
guests asked his fair companion to dance
with him. She consented, end in due
time, when the waits was over, resumed
i** position by his side. He then made
! tbe request that she would promenade the
{ apartment with him, permitting his arm
to SHfrcle her waist, and reclining her
head npou hie shoulder.
An indignant negative was the re-
sponge, coupled with the imperative de- j
mand for an apology en the spot for con
duct so unseemly and so insulting.
'Nothing abashed, her-escort gently re-f
joined that lie bad only asked for tbe
same favor which had been accorded to .
her partner in the late dance. ]
It is thus, said Dr. Warren, that these !
conventional ei.teriainment* are allowed
to degrade and lower what are rightly
considered the proprieties of the parlor
and ordinary social intercourse.
The Doctor concluded with au earnest
and mauly appeal to the believing portion
of bis congregation to be more consistent
and faithful in tbe discharge of their cov
enant obligations, and thus seek to glorify
(not degrade) tlieir Lord aud Master.
This discourse, aside from its outspoken,
candid aud fervent deliverances, which
could not fail to enlist the attention and
respect of every ono present, stamps Dr.
Warren at once, not only as a simple,
truth speaking and devout exemplar of
our holy religion, but as a man of com
manding ability. We only wish that his
sermon could be repeated in every evan
gelical pulpit in the land. It could not
possibly offend even those who might be
unwilling to indorse every position taken
by the speaker. ^
Christmas Storms.
The Northern telegrams report stormy
times since Christmas eve. Boston re
ports a gale of eighty-four miles an hour
along the eastern coast, which, If not very
destructive, was not comfortable in an at
mosphere below freezing temperature.
Dr. Kane, in bis Arctic narrative, speaks
of hurricanes moving about a hundred
miles an honr in an atmospheric tempera
ture of sixty below zero, and it needs a
strong exercise of tho imagination^) con
ceive of such weather and its power on
tbe human system.
Oor Northern brethren discussed their
rout turkey and ptfim pudding in the
presence of howling winds, rain, hail,
sleet and snow, while in the latitudes of
the Carolines and Georgia it wu a steady
patter of cold rain all day. The whole
country is not In a pestable condition.
Northward tne roads are knee deep with
snow and southward knee deep in mud and
water. But cold storms and rains do not
practically interfere with the enjoyments
of Christmas so much as one might sup
pose. By contrast they lend a height
ened charm to the attractions within
doors. The bright and cheertul blaze,
the diffusive glow and cheer of the fire
side take a now zest by contrast with the
cold rain and hall driving against the win
dows, and though one may pity those ex
posed to tbe wintry rigors of the storm,
we become still more sensible of our own
blessed exemption.
A Model Legislator.
A Washington correspondent says tbe
records show that there is b member of
Congress who hu served nearly a full
term without making a speech, or intro
ducing a solitary bill or resolution. The
name ot the gentleman who enjoys this
unique distinction is Thomu Williams,
from the fifth district of Alabama.
Mr. Williams is said to be quite intelli
gent, flut is a fanner of somewhat limited
education. He had served in the Legis
lature of his State, and was'elected to
Congress by a majority of3,800 votes.
There is no doubt, however, that on all
occasions the silent member from Ala
bama deposited bis vote with due empha
sis, and thua contributed his full share to
the legislation of tbe country. It Is a pity
that hit example conld not be followed by
many Congressmen whose names might
be mentioned. It would much expedite tbe
transaction of public business, and at tbe
same time be an Immense savingofexpense
to the people. But the average legislator is
fond of tho sound of his own voice, and
aeems to be continually racking his brains
to get in some bill or resolution, however
trifling, that be may make reputation at
home. To afford some proper conception
of tbe expensiveness of this trivial legisla
tion, we append what “J. S. C.,” the
correspondent alluded to, writes on the
sntyect:
Last week Mr. O’Neil introduced a bill
authorizing the Secretaryof tbe Treasury
to change the name of Henry C. Lea’s
pleasure yacht. To hare that simple
measure adopted cost the United States
over $100. Alter being introduced there
are 900 coplesjpnnted and It goes to the
committee. When it is agreed to in com
mittee 900 more copies are printed and it
comes back to the House. If adopted 000
more copies are printed, aud it is engross
ed and sent to the Senate, where the same
printing process is carried on until there
are 6,400 copies of tbe bill in existence,
which interests no one but Mr. Lea or any
one else, as tho case may be. There is
clerk hire, prlntlug, paper, etc., all put on
a measure of this sort, and it consumes
Just as much time as something more im
portant. There are dozens of this soi t of
bills introduced every Monday, and Mr.
Lea’s is merely singled out to show the
cumbersome machinery of our legislative
system. This couple of hundred dollars
could be saved—and it would amount to
thousands iu a year—If Congress would
empower the Secretary of the Treasury to
change tbe names of vessels upon proper
evidence being laid before him that there
is no other craft of the same name and
description. Tbe subject has recently at
tracted considerable attention from Con
gressmen, acd at the next session some
substantial Innovations will be called for.
Who will »ay after reading the aboTe
that there is not still abundant room for
retrenchment and reform, even In the dai
ly machinery of the general government.
Whisky Drinking in South Caro
lina.—A bill has passed the House of
Repressntatlves in our sister State, Caro
lina, absolutely prohibiting the sale of
alcoholic liquors of all kinds, excepting
malt beverages, wines and cider, every-
where in the commonwealth outside of
Incorporated cities, towns and villages.
It has yet to be acted on In tbe Senate,
but seems to meet with general favor, and
will probably become a law. The Newt
and Courier strongly favors the bill.
Query: Will not the practical effect be
to multiply Indefinitely the number of in
corporated villages? Hereafter every Jug
tavern, with blacksmith shop attached
and a cross-roads grocery store, will be
wanting municipal privileges.
We cannot exactly comprehend the
precise benefit of aueh a law. Sumptuary
legislation has not proved mnch of a suc
cess In tbe past, as Governor Garcelon, at
Maine, testified last year, at least so fkr as
his own State was concerned. Precept
and example will accomplish much more
for the good cans* of temperance.
Coke lino to Show Fiqht.—Rsd field
learns that “the controversy between Sen
ators Conkling and Bayard, relative to
the latter's Dover speech, is not ended.
It is said soon after the holiday recess
Mr. Conkling will rise to a question of
penoaal privilege and make a speech
which will include a full history of tbe
Pbelpa-Dedge case and put tbe Senator,
from Delaware hi an unenviable position.
Grant and the Carpet-Baggers.
Gen. Grant, in bis speech at the Brook
lyn New England Pilgrim dinner, tooK
occasion to laud tbe Pilgrims and their de
scendants as “carpet-baggers,” and to con
trast them and tbeir restless {migrating de
scendants with tbe Southern people,whom
he represented as traditionally hostile
in feelings and policy to immigration. It
would be a slander on Geu. Grant’s intel
ligence to credit him with tlncerlty in this
denunciation, or believe him honest in
confounding the carpet-bsggism deprecated
by the Southern people with honest, buna
fide immigration. Without any idea of
permanently Interesting themselves in tbe
country, the carpet-baggers came South to
engineer, an ignorant voting population in
the interests of plunder and robbery of the
tax paying population, and their own po
litical elevation, which was hopeless at
home.
Grant knows the abominable character
of these men. He has been in close in
tercourse with them, and when he com
pares them to the Fiigrims or to anybody
else emigrating for a fair and honest pur
pose, it is gross Insincerity, which merits
indignant rebuke. Grant’s carpet-bag Pil
grims came South to steal and havo gen
erally left with fall sacks. The honest
emigrant comes to find a home—to identi
fy his fort unes with those of the people, and
to accept his share of the public duties as
well as privileges. All such are and
always have been heartily welcome, but
tbe carpet-bagger came for quito a differ
ent purpose, and left a trail of wreck,
rain and confusion behind him, when he
had accomplished it.
Li gyrus Bugicepa.
The above is tho scientific appellation,
according to Professor Le Conte, of the
University of California, of an insect
which has recently played havoc with the
growing crops of sugar cane in St. Mary’s
parish, Louisiana. The beetle has been
depredating upon the cane, more or less,
for the last twenty-five years, but only re
cently hss its ravages proved very serious.
The report of tho entomologist of the
comraissionerofagrlculture at Washing
ton ssys, that the adult insects bore into
the stalk Just above the root, causing the
destruction of the plant. Mr. Dauiel
Thompson, of Bayou Teche, affirms, also,
that iu some localities this insect attacks
corn in a similar manner.
The wii:er, at the period that Professor
Le Conte described the insect in 1850,
resided on tbe seacosst of Georgia, and
was engaged in the cultivation oi sea
island cotton and corn. It was In the
months of May and June of that year that
the pestiferous visitor for the first and last
time, so far as he knows, made its appear
ance In that, region.
It attacked the corn, when about knee
high, Just at the surface of tho earth, aud
literally devoured it. So complete was
the destruction that nothing remained
but the debrlt of the plant and the drop
pings ot tbe insect.
In June, tbe few fields of tbe earliest
planting that were not eaten up, when tbe
com was in the roastingear state were
also depredated upon, tbe ravenous in
sect boring round holes into the stalk
ifear the surface of the ground as well
defined as if made with a gimlet, earning
it to break off and fall to the earth from
the slightest wind.
In midsummer the insect suddenly dis
appeared, and the writer replanted his
com crop in tho early part of July and
succeeded in harvesting upon moist black
land about ten bushels per acre. Since
then, we have never heard of its re-ap
pearance in Georgia, nor was the sugar
cane attacked at the time referred to.
No preventive as yet has been discov
ered against thfi ravages of this formida
ble insect, though a correspondent of the
Agricultural Bureau, says that lime ap
plied to the roots of tbe sugar cane has
succeeded in keeping away tbe beetles.
This plague reminds one of the Faimer
worm of old of which we rea-l in the Old
Testament.
The Eastern Question.—A new
phase in the Eastern question has been
developed during the holidays. This is
the arbitration of the Greek boundary by
another conference of the powers, in
which unanimity is not Insisted on, but
tbe majority shall rule. At present It
would appear that Greece is disposed
scout the proposition and Turkey approve
ofit. Greece insists on the original award
of the Berlin Congress.
The Pope and the Ibish.—The Pope
has spoken out In very pointed disappro
bation of the Irish League and its revolu
tionary methods—a fart which will inspire
respect for bis courage and independence
among the more Intelligent portion of
mankind. The influence of his attitude
in favor of peace and order will be
great.
The Boers.—Who will not sympathize
with the plea for liberty and toleration
addressed by tbe Dutch Boers In South
Africa to the British government ? From
whence does a so-called Christian empire
derive ita right to impose a foreign andun-
welcome yoke on these people? What can
tho British gain, either in money or glory,
on these
by waning <
t people?
Work to Begin on the Land Bill.
On Tuesday next, saya the London cor
respondent of the World, all the ministers
will return to London and will Imme
diately set about preparing a new Land
bill. Of course the measure cannot be
acceptable to tho Land League, hut It will
probably satisfy public opinion in this
country. This aim once attained, strenu
ous efforts will be made to restore in
Ireland the reign of law, instead ortho
“reign of terror” that now prevails there

The ./Etna Fire Insurance Company,
of Hartford, proposes to increase iu capi
tal to $5,000,000—the new stock to be of
fered to present shareholders at par, with
the option of giving secured notes bearing
6 per cent, interest, to pay for it, if so
disposed.
The Philadelphia Record says: After
three restless weeks Congress adjourned
for the holidays. Nothing whatever has
been accomplished, unless tbe empty de
bate and Idle declamation, the flltlrostsr-
ing and tbe personal altercations that have
been Indulged In may be regarded as a
necessary preparation to getting down to
actual work. In that point of view Con
gress has done something which, if it had
to be done, might aa well be done first as
lest. When tbe two Houses reassemble
after their Christmas Junketing it ia to be
hoped they will proceed to tbe transactic*
of tbe public business. But two months
will remain of their closing session, and
it is only by exercising a good deal of in
dustry that indispensable measures like
the Funding bill can be passed, to say
notliliv of legislation upon.other subjects
which demand attention, but will proba
bly not receive U till next winter.
CuniSTMAS Abroad.—L. 3. J. the ex
cellent corespondent of the World speaks
of England’s green and musical Christmas.
He says, writing on the 25th: The weath
er, is as warm; as summer; the thrushes are
sitiging and the violets are blooming in
the gardens. To-day Is much colder,
thonrb it is a flue day. We have hiiherto
seen no signs of snow or frost—except iu
the illustrations of the “Christmas cum
bers”—and the nights bare been warmer
than in June. This unseasonable weath
er has produced iu rnauy places epidemics
of scarlet fever, measles aud diphtheria,
so that the illogical proverb about a green
Christmas and a.fat graveyard for once
seems likely to be proved tme.
The New American Cables.—The
firm of Messrs. Siemens Brothers promise
to finish tbe two new American cables,
each to be 3,000 miles^in length, the details
of the contract for which with the Ameri
can Union Telegraph Company the World
has already published, early in July.
Tbe firm confidently expect to mak9 those
cables the finest piece of work which they
havo yet accomplished, and predict they
will surpass in cheapness and dispatch
everything yet seen in the way of ocean
telegraph. Immediately on the comple
tion of the cables they will proceed to lay
them, and they have a well-grounded ex
pectation that communication between the
two continents by these new cables will
be opened before the end of September.
The Financial Outlook.—The
Evening Post’s financial writer says the
dividends which will be paid by tbe coi>
po rat ions out of the profits of the last half
year will probably exceed in amount any
thing on record, all classes of business
having been very profitable. Preparations
for these payments will of course have a
tendency to make tbe loan market active
this week. The ruling rate for call loans
to-day is 0 per cent. Time money can
be had at 6 to 10 per cent.; prime mercan
tile paper is 5| to CJ at the Stock Excbauge.
Tbe prevailing disposition on tbe part of
speculators in control is to advance all
dividend-paying stock to a price which will
yield buyers about5 percent.; the cal
culation being that the present holders of
United States bonds which are to mature
next year will take these stocks on a five
per cent, income rather than accept 3 or
3| per cent, income from new bonds which
the Government will issue.
The danokb of Eating Diseased
Meat.—Tlie people of Conyers, Ueorgia,
are much exercised over the fact that
quite' a number of citizens havo been
made ill by eating the flesh of a hog
which had died, and was afterwards
butchered and sold. The seller of the
meat, a Mr. Maddox, claims that tbe ani
mal while being unloaded from the cars
fell and received injuries which subse
quently proved fatal. He does not deny
selling the meat, but says lie thought it
perfectly sound. It is impossible that
this could be so, however, after the fever
and inflammation which are inseparable
from a fatal wound. Mr. Maddox is de
serving of the highest censure, therefore,
and laws of tbe most stringent character
should be enacted tor the punishment of
offenses of this nature, which endanger
the health and [lives ot whole communi
ties.
A Glaring Falsehood.
The colored exodus comes to the front
sgain. Those who esme Northward last
year are doing fairly well in their North
ern homes, and are sending back reports
which encourage others to come. On the
other hand, there la nothing to encourage
the colored men to stay in the South.
They see no reason to expect that the
white people will concede their political
equality, or give them the chance to be-
come owners of real property.- It fs true
that the political outrages of a violent
kind have ceased; but it was not from
these outrages so much as from a hopeless
financial position that tbe negroes fled.
They could not buy land, and they could
only rent it at an extortionate price, in a
country where the possession of land ia
nearly as indispensable as in Western Ire
land.
We clip tbe above from the Philadelphia
American, a paper which boasts of its con
servatism. But it wonld be bard to crowd
a greater amouut of misstatements iuto
the tame space it occupies. It is a severe
reflection upon the American's ignorance
or honesty.
The appeals for charity so assiduously
circulated in the North in behalf of the
suffering colored emigrants tell their own
tale.
The late election in this State disproves
the allegation that the negroes have no
political rights.
The Comptroller General’s report con
tradicts the charge that tbe negroes can
not purchase land. They are now
paying taxes on nearly $8,000,000 worth
of property in this State.
The Emperor of China has granted tbe
prayer of the Viceroy of Tien Tsin for
permission to construct a telegraph line
from Shanghai via Chin Kiang, and thence
along the Grand Canal to Tien Tsin, to
be 1,200 miles in length. It will cost
about $500,000.
The ice harvest is iu progress at all
points on the Hudson north of Catsltill,

week aud it Is expected 400,000 tons will
be housed by the middle of January.
Thomas Allen is a careful roan.
When Jay Gould bought Mr. Alien’s
railroad, he produced his check-book and
Ailed out a check for the full amount-
something more than $2,000,000—which
be handed to Mr. Alien. Mr. Alien took
the check, carefully examined it, and
said: “This Is a large amount to have in
one bank. Is there this much to your
credit there, Mr. Gould?” “Ob," said
Mr. Gould," "perhaps you would like to
have It certified?” “Well, yes,” said Mr.
Alien, “I tbink I wonld.” Mr. Gould
sent his confidential clerk to the bank,
and the check was brought back in a few
moments duty certified. “Thanks,” said
Mr. Allen, as he folded up the check, put
It Jn his pocket-book, and walked ont of
Mr. Uonld’s office.
How Lessen has got bis Money.—
Comparatively few subscriptions for M.
de Lesaeps’ Panama Canal sclierne were
tendered here, says the World's London
correspondent, bat the French and Spanish
buyers hrve been most enthusiastic aud
applications have been made for nearly
thrice the number of shares to be allotted.
The writers in the Parisian press profess
to believe that no opposition will be made
by the Uuited State* Government to the
Panama Canal and that the Nicaragua
Canal scheme is all moonshine, and it is
this and persistent advertising that have
induced the people to subscribe so liber
ally.
A Holiday 6 now.
Yesterday morning, when the shutters
were opened, an astounding sight pre
sented itself—a landscape co upleteiy
wrapped in a two inch blanket of fleecy
•now—the evergreen trees bowed down
under the weight of the deposit, and the
feathery mass, gaining rapid accretions
from tho thickly descending flakes. The
children will never bo happier when
they come to a great fortune, than when
they sprang from their beds yesterday
with a shout and surveyed this wonder
ful spectacle. They bad been chatting
about tlie possibilities of snow for a
month, but could find no great encourage
ment from the seniors. The last snow
was iu January 1871. and few of the
older could remember it. It was a sight
which moved tongues and hands aud feet
iu a delirium ot gratified surprise. To
don their clothes aud rush out for a
revel on the snowbed was tbe work of a
moment, and a well laden Christmas
tree never drew out more happy shouts
than this unexpected tribute by the
Frost King.
But later in tbe morning the infection
spread to children of iaiger growth, and
everybody went mad with sport over the
snow. Snowballing of the roughest kind
took possession of the streets, the leading
idea of which developed itselfin tbe total
overwhelming of one victim after another,
till hft could effect hit escape by flight or
strategy. The streets rang with shouts
from morning to noon until all were
hoarse and exhausted.
How far south of tbe latitude of Macon
this snowfall hss extended we are unable
to say, but northward we have no doubt
it is a continuous sheet to the pole. The
temperature at dawn of day was 32. Tbe
fall ot snow was probably three or four
inches.
A Gaping Joint
The Cincinnati Gazette, the ever falth-
ful radical organ of Deacon Richard
Smith, prints tbe following record of the
bitter memories subsisting between Gen.
Giant and Blaine:
Notwithstanding the cordiality with
which Gen. Grant entered tbe late Re
publican campaign, he cherishes, and
does not hesitate to express, a very bitter
feeling toward one of tbe leaders for tbe
kind of warfare made on him in the
Chicago convention. During bis late
visit to New York he took occasion to let
Senator Blaine understand that be re
garded bis conduct In connection with tbe
attack upon Gen. Grant’s candidacy as so
far transgressing proper bounds as to put
an end to their personal intercourse.
This he did by declining to see tbe Senator
when he called and sent in his card.
When Gen. Grant, a few days afterward,
was received by the Senate, Mr. Blaine
was tbe only member of that body who
did not go forwsrd to be presented.
In commenting, while in New York,
upon those things Jn Mr. Blaine’s course
which displeased him, Geu. Grant de
clared be shonld never speak to him again.
And yet all the organs concur in the
announcement that Blaine Is to have the
first place in Garfield’s cabinet, and this,
ifitbetrae, amounts to an act of non-in
tercourae between Grant and the Garfield-
administration. Practically it will be tbe
turning of an icy shoulder upon tho stal
warts—a revival of Hayes ism and an in
curable offense to Grant, Conkliug & Co.
The Cincinnati Commercial’* Idea of the
kind of premier Blaine would make is
expressed as follows:
“It is prettyjrtrongly rumored that Mr.
Blaine, of Maine, a gentleman about
whom a good many observations have
been made, may go into the cabinet of
General Garfield as his Secretary of State.
One objection to him for that position ia
that be is too active to be placid, and be
might not allow our foreign relations to
flow along at their own sweet will like a
stream of molasses. He would ‘shake ’em
up’ through the cables.”
An adroit politician is not so much
needed in tbe State Department as a well
read diplomat and an acute logician.

Suicide of the Swiss President.—
At Reme, Switzerland on Christmas
day, M. Anderwert, who was recently
elected President of the Swiss Confedera
tion for 1881, committed suicide at nine
o’clock In the evening, in the public prom
enade, by shooting himself with a revol
ver. We have seen no explanation of this
strange event.

OCouneis dictum that no farm was

The remaiks of the Attorney General
at this point caused considerable feeling
In the court, especially when he quoted
the reported words of J. W. Nally, one of
the traversers, that “the Ferrick murder
was worth a hundred speeches." He fur
ther stigmatized tbe proceedings ofthe
Land Leagues as a capital plan for reduc
ing society to original duos and bringing
about communism. He particularly point-
ed to Messrs. Brennan, Bovton, Gordon,
O Sullivan and Nally as agitating with a
view to pecuniary profit, lie quoted Nal-
iy s speech, which immediately preceded
Ferrick’s murder, and then proceeded to
d lhe violent speeches attributed
to DulOH and Parnell, both of whom had

grievances in their own hands. The
former, he said, had advised them to put

ofthe speeches by these two members of
Parliament, as exasperating the people
into spoliation and murder. He quoted,
amidst general laughter, from the speech
of Mr.’ BIggsr, who said he did not
recommend the shooting of landlords, be
cause the wrong men had been sometimes
shot.
After quoting Mr. Harris’ reeomntenda-

In 1703, ho said the Land League was
founded upou tbe basis of sedition and

pressing his opinions moderately, had
himself declared that either the landlord*
or tbe people must go, and it would be for
the people themselves to decide which.

account of tbe fatigue of the attorney gen

Monday Sicbta Concert.
We have during tbe week called atten

Monday night. We do not hesitate to
again call attention to It, because we be
lieve it will be by far the most attractive
and meritorious entertainment that we
have bad this season. Of Camilla Urao,
the special attraction iu that organization,
he New York Times speaks as follows:
“In every direction we bear of young
adiea winning honors in tbe musical pro
fession. Camilla Urso is somewhat out
of the beaten path, inasmuch as she has
•elected tbe violin ss her medium of mu
sical expression. But how perfectly and
sentieutly it responds to her wishes! The
lady made her re-entree before the largest
audience of tbe season on Saturday last.
Camilla Urao has but Just returned from
Europe, where she surprised the most
critical audiences. In America the lady
ia well known, and we have no hesitation
in placing her among the foremost of the
living violinists. Her success was com
plete, winning not merely the plaudits of
a miscellaneous audience, but tbe heart
iest approval of a very strong delegation
of the profession.”
