GEORGIA TELEGRAPH BUILDING STABIIS1TED1826- MACON, FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1881 VOLUME LV-NO. 9. 1.ETTEH FROM MEXICO. .... Eli Bout*—The 1 Urmiil Old CUT «* Heca ** * Geor*I» Uxdy. \Vc aro privileged to publish some ex acts from n private letter written to the family, by Mrs. Tochie WiUiams Mac- donell, who so recently left this city as mis sionary with her husband to the City of Mexico. U*hile it was not written with the least suspicion upon the part of the writer of finding it in print, nevertheless, a great many of our readers will enjoy it. It is tinted City of Mexico, February 7th, 1881 I suppose you received my letter from Vera Crux, and you aro therefore advised onr movement, up to the very hour of our Cvinc. Now I must give you whatl re- member of our ride from the Gulf to this great metroplis. How I wish Mrs. Branch had conferred—I mean transferred, (that mistake is owing to my gaining so much Spanish knowledge) her descriptive pow- rmto me, for it will toko somethmgfar superior to my powors to enable yon to ha' ihe least conception of the glorious country God has given tliis people. Our fellow passengers from the ship consisted of an artist;, a civil en gineer, a Swede by .birth; a com mercial tourist, traveling m the interest of a thrashing machino; Bishop Huey, of the Liii.scoi«U Chqrch; u Switzerlander ( travel ing for amusement; and Dr. Watkins and family. Thus, you see, we had a very pleas ant party. The trains hero are divided into first, second, and third class cars. The first-class coaches are like onr private car riages at home, only wider, and m tins way yon are .-!mt off from all disturbing passen gers. Taking first-claw passage, Dr. V at- Itins’ family and ours filled on© box. So really, we traveled alone. It being 11 o’clock at night when wo loft Vera Graz, we soon found that Morpheas had more charms for us than onr pleasant surroundings and company. “The moon was high up in heaven,” ng Jean Ingelow expresses it, und tho air as balmy as over was May in the dear old Georgia-land. The earth, on every hand and everywhere, was covered with green and lovely vegotation. We could not discern what growth it was, but it was beautiful and as sweet as new- mown hay. We wore weary though, and were so on lost in blissful dreams of “homo and mother.” just before sunrise wo were aroused by the cool mountain air, and our wraps were donned in eager baste. Soon the sky to our left began to assume red and golden hues, while Orizaba’s icy snow peaks pierced the hluo on the right hand. We would rush madly along for a few miles, when on terra firma, and then wo would seem ingly overhang lovely gardens of bannnas, oranges and othor tropical fruits. What a magnificent and transporting scene! Pic ture to yourself the dark, dark blue moun tain- with red and gold, jnat tingoing the background, while nearer the well ulled, well planned gardens of flowers and frnits, and small serpentine streams rnnning their way to the valley below, hundreds of feet underneath our creeping engine. Then turn to the other window and behold the the blue and bronzed hills, towering one over the other in regardless masses, while above them all in beauteous splendor rose tho tlcecy snow peaks hardly disoeraiblo from the fleece of the heavens; and then conceive just at this moment the son creep ing up tlw horizon cheery and shy and thiuding the whole scene with his golden rays and making tho snow-capped moun tains glitter like diamonds. Then yon may have some conception of what onr eyes have gazed upon. No, no, yon can’t have the remotest idea of its glory from my at tempts at describing it. Soon Orizaba, a small town began to ap pear. First, above all surrounding build ings, rose tho various domes and crosses of well-worn, time-beaten cathedrals. By this time the sun was flushing the whole stretch of country before us, and the pie- ture was perfect, Here, however, we had to say good-bye again. When wo left New Orleans we thought os wo parted from the good old bishop and his wife, that we had perfected our lesson in learning this word, which now means so much. But there was still more to learn, and it seemed harder every lesson. We know it now. We bade Dr. Watkins and his family farewell here, and nu J wo had the box left to ourselves—“two little people." Here we were refreshed by a cap of coffee. Oh, that you could tasto it. too. It was the most delicious drink I have ever tasted. Onr best coffee at homo does not deserve each a name. The bread was e<|nnlly nice. All the Mexicans, it seemed, were at tho depot with various fruits, breads. ctc.,to tempt tho passengers. The women wear long dresses, mostly of calico, and short blouse waists, without belts. Ovor their heads and shoulders thrown very gracefully scarfs, or rebosos, as they call them, which gavo them a very graoefal oriental air. Their skirts trailed about six inches on the gronnd, and were a marvel of grace and starch. The men wore tight pants, with very short coata just touching the pouts’ binding. Some wore scrapia or scarfs wound around their bodies in some manner. Their hats wero very broad brimmed. Tho foot of both men and women here are iwinfully small. Most gentlemen of tho higher station have feet smaller than mine. This is a mark of high breeding, I believe. Here wo had tho most delightful atmosphere I have over known. 1 nave forgotten to tell yon that on all trains there is a car set apart specially for the guard. It is necessary for theso guards to go with the train, on account of tne fre quent robberies nnd bold nets of the high- wavineu. At every station there wore eight or ten horsemen, dressed in bnck- skm suits, trimmed in-silver, and their nomhreros of drab folt aro also elaborately adorned with tho same. They hadgnns, Pistols and swords fastened to their bodies, and wore elaborate spnrs. These men cor- vcs|>ond with our policemen at home, and arc always at the train in time to tako charge «f any criminals on board. They looked like they folly felt thoir importance, and were no more than rowdies themselves, ihe sun was shining brightly by tho time left Orizaba, nud the country began to grow more and more lovely. Mountain after mountain rearod thoir deep emerald shades toward heaven, nnd seemed vieing ® 1, n each other as to which coaid look tho jhost majestic, or which could reach nearer to the land beyond tho donds. On we **« would run from one window to the ‘N’clarlng that each view to be the kindest, rhe track wound in among tho nn<1 ““e moment we would be •.nd G ns “ 7*’?’ hi «N up nbovo the world, SSrinto utter darkness.

At every station we had fruit and dishes with all imaginable contents thrust in at the windows, to which I an swered my one Spanish word, “No.” At breakfast we had excellent coffee, but im- agino my disgust when at my aide eat a Spaniard, leisurely smoking his cigarette nnd sipping his “cafe.” These people aro an easy-going, pleasure-seeking people, and wo had ample means of observing this on onr way from Vera Cruz. We have formed some itlea of Mexican farming, which is very dissimilar to bars. They raise two crops of com in one year and have it planted in rows, bnt a small moand or heap of sand is drawn around the roots of each stalk. Wheat is a great sta ple: and when it is cut nnd threshed it is heaped in a tightly pressed mound shaped like a house, and often has the cross or somo other design impressed, where tho door onght to have been. They also plant largely a plant that is called “Marguey.” This is a species of the century plant. It grows to be quite tall, and is not variegated like the plant at homo. Tho oses of this kind of aloe are quite numerons, bnt the favorite seems to be a drink called pulque, which is a disgusting sour stuff, I am told, and it intoxicates when nsed to excess. It is extracted by come means from tho plant and kept until it ferments: then it is put in “hog skins” and sold. When we wore on tho train we had carious little jngs and pitchers of this staff thrust at us with "Qaero pulque ?” The stations seem to be the place for tho poor, afflicted and beggars of every descrip tion to congregate. At last onr bright snn lost its glory,and the “world was lost to dark ness nnd to ns.” Wo were indeed tired, and when wo wonnd onr last “brake” at tho City of Mexico, wo could sing with great gusto, “Hallelujah 1 ’tis dono 1” When Mr. Macdonell stepped from the box, he found onr frionds, Brother and Sis ter Patterson, awaiting us. We went di rectly to their home, while onr tranks had to mn the gauntlet of the custom house. Theso aro queer people; they examino every trank that goes from ono State to anothor. This house has a beautiful situation, just in front of tho “Alameda” or park. The houses cro planned entirely different from those in the States, and are less convenient. The front doors open on the street, and in stead of being tho neatest and handsomest door of tho houso it is the ugliest and least thought of, of the wholo establislimcnt. The entrance usually is paved with marble, granite, or large brick. There aro usually largo courts, and the dwelling portion is bunt around the court* There are steps on two sidos which lead to the upper story. These rooms are attached to a veranda which overhangs tho entrance; in the courts are kept tho flower gardens, horses nnd carriages. Imagine, please, all entering the same door, for wo have only ono en trance. The plan of most of the houses, from what I have been able to see, is something like tho old hippodrome at tho fair grounds in Macon, except they are square. This house is a more recent building nnd is more pleasantly planned. The door opens in a broad hall and rooms are on each side, and tho steps lead np into a square sur rounded by glass doors. The doors are al ways locked, as the front door is always kept open. Bnt of tho houses I will write more at another time. One word about servants. They aro all Indians, and seem to be good natared, honest souls. I clean my own room except sweeping; the house-girl doos this. I wish yon could see the brooms and the way they sweep. The brooms are a bunch of straw, each straw very fine and separated from the others by growth, tied with twines. The longest aro about eighteen inches, and the servant kneels to sweep. They have Amer ican brooms here bnt tho Mexicans will not uso them. The servants are quite different from those at home, both in their work and manner of living. I haven't seen a negro sinoe wo left the ship, and I would welcome with delight the very sight. Wo have been here over two weeks, and, olthongh I am a stranger in a foreign land, _ ' oen home-sick or bine. and wo have so much 'o-day’s train brought us letters from home, and good Bishop Keener and Dr. Wilson. Our joy is beyond description. . We found onr mission in a most flourish ing condition, even more so than any other, and Dr. Patterson an earnest workor Onr Spanish teacher came to-day, and now we are ready to begin work. Elizabeth or Austria. The Empress Elizabeth of Austria is tho most beautiful crowned lady in the world. Yet one loves to contemplate her, not adorned with costly laces and re splendent in hereditary jewels, but ar rayed in the dark clotb dress of castellans wives of the olden time, proudly am bravely reining In a fiery horse. The re treats of old Hungary have a great fasci nation for her. It Is among them that she allops with a heroine’s recklessness; now ashing at full speed beneath the shade of ancient trees, now leaping over hedge and ditch. What an apparition in this matter-of- fact ago of ours Is this chivalrous beauty, stately and imposing as the fairy of the Black Forest and (uliy as benevolent. Her horse, which flees so often from pala ces, ever stops before the cottage door. The Empress Is a sunbeam to the suffer ing. Tbis woman, with a gentle heart under an Amazon’s breast, cherishes in a beautiful jewelled box, not a stone of great price, but a little faded nosegay of edelweiss—that mountain flower, white and delicate as a snowflake, which Aus trian peasants attach to their buttonholes as a sign of love. The little nosegay was given the Empress by her husbaud at the time they were betrothed. For the last two years Elizabeth of Austria has gone to Ireland for her bunt ing. This year she will take up her resi dence at Combermere Abbey. Twenty grooms and horses have been sent in ad vance to tho Empress’ residence. Her suite is composed of about forty persons of very varied rank, from chamberlains autl maids of honor down to cooks and scullions. The Empress hates all noises, with the exception of the bugle’s notes in the forest, the rally, the tally-ho, tho barking of tho hounds and the clattering of the horses’ hoofs. To deafen the dif ferent sounds in Combermere castle, therefore, the flag stones of the courtyard and the floors of the galleries and cor ridors have been carpeted. The Empress, as beautiful now as ever, still wears a triple diadem of black tresses. Were It not that she is dark instead of blonde one conld compare her to Tasso’s ‘ I weary y uu with my attempts at Herminia.

The Generosity of a Former Slave. A touching Incident which shows the kindness of mankind, is told in the New Orleans papers in the story of Old Jack, a former slave in a prominent Louisiana family, who spent a dollar given him at New Year’s in the purchase of a half ticket in the Louisiana State Lottery, lor which he drew $1,000 and with which he provided for the wants of his aged par ents, and with a portion relieved the wants Of some poor Germans whose suf ferings moved him. He will buy again, as will many others, by writing to M. A. Dauphin; No. 319 Broadway, New York Oily, or to the same person at Now Or leans, La., before March 8Lh, the next drawing. * WASH IS O TOX NEWS. Gathered by Onr Special Correspon dent—Carpenter's Death—Funding; Bill, Ete. Washington City, February 25.— Messrs. Edmunds' and Blaine are on the sick list at present, which Is unfor tunate for the Radical contingent in tjjat body. Conkling and Hoar alone, of the leaders, aro left to bear the brant and make the fight for model Ideas. Blaine has had a very sharp attack of acute rheu matism, and, though much better, is not yet allowed to go out. I don’t kuow what is the matter with Edmunds, but presume It is a combination of bile and vinegar in his stomach in excess of the usual amount he generally carries about with him. Tho papers this morning announce that he is “seriously indisposed.” Poor Carpenter is dead. Ho has seen the last of his Senatorial service. He had been a free liver and gone the pace for many years without mnch let up, and has now paid tho penalty. He started life with au ex ceptionally strong constitution, but late hours, intense brain work, generous eat ing and drinking, and from fifteen to twenty strong cigars per day will mako themselves felt at last. When I first came hero he seemed m the flush of a golden meridian of physical health and vigor, and in the Belknap trial was one of the most noticeable figures in both re spects that grouped tbemselves ou the canvas ot that historic scene. Two years ago he was attacked'by diabetes, from which be had only partially recovered when symptoms of Bright’s disease ap peared, and from that date he has been steadily progressing downward. He has been sick most of the session, but was jetting better, when he drovo out one bright day last week and took cold. Now lie is dead. When I saw him last the ebange in his appearance absolutely shocked me. His hair from a beautiful silver gray had bleached into a dull white. His face was seamed with deep wrinkles and his com' plexion nearly colorless, while his voice was weak and tremulous, and his ex pression absolutely pitiable in its ex pression of intense suffering aud hopeless languor. THE WAIJ NOT VET OVEB. ■ Some of the Radical hounds here, mostly of the homo guard school, who have been wanting to whip tho South ever since the war ended, have been in an awful slate of mind for several days, on account of Gen. Sherman’s appointment of Gen. Field, doorkeeper of the lloun 1 , to command one of the divisions in the military procession on inaugura tion day. They have been on their hind legs now for three wholo days, and have made such a spectacle of themselves that all sensible people are lioroughly disgust ed. Gen. Sherman appointed Gen. Field as an act of courtesy .to the Southern soldiers who had signified their intention of com ing, and I presume bad not the remotest thought that anybody would object. But it seems, he did not know the lieigktli, and length, and depth, and breadth and thickness of the genuiue truly loyl office holder,and they have taken the occasion to give him a lesson. Thjy have had meeting and resolved not to march in the procession at all unless Sherman with draws his invitation to Gen. Field to ac: as his aide in charge of one of the divisions, What Sherman will do Is not known, but jcrliaps these patriots will be told to go jelow. That would certainly be the right reply to such impertinent asses audblack- guards as they have proved themselves to THE NATIONAL BANKS are in a flatter over the refunding bill, and threaten divers ugly things by way of retaliation. They keep the wires hot with messages from various points East and West to Congressmen here, and some of them are uncommonly “sassy.” Sher man, however, does uot seem at all alarmed by their vaporings, and by way of answer thereto issued a call yesterday atternoon for $25,000,000 of 5 per cent, bonds of 1881. The call matures May 21, and interest ceases on that day. It in eludes the numbers of those bonds last issued, which will stir up some of the banks pretty smartly. Usually the calls have gone regularly down the list, com mencing with the bonds first issued. The banks, by watching tho call, could tell iretty accurately when the bonds they leld would be called in, and just before that time tboy would assign those bonds to somebody else. Tills necessitated re registry and re-numbering. By Ibis little trick tho call for those bonds was put off, and they thus continued to draw tbeir high rate of interest. But this call knocks all such schemes and calculations on tho head. If Sherman were so inclined be could bother the banks which are depositing to withdraw circulation considerably. Under the law they can be compelled to make such de posits in legal tender notes, but most of them have been in gold. Suppose the de partment refuses to take the gold, which t is authorized to do, the banks would have to skirmish around for notes, and in some cases it would be very lively skir mishing, too. Up to 4 p. m. yesterday $20,000,000 had been deposited by tho banks to withdraw tlieir circulation, aud doubtless more will roll m to-day, but it is safe to predict not nearly so much as yesterday. ALL SORTS. The latest last night at Willard’s among the generals, colonels, majois and “judges’,’ wa3 that Foster, of Ohio, was dead sure for Postmaster General under Garfield; also that Folger, of New York, would get (he Treasury. Blaine is sure of the department of State. Then all hands went into get a night-cap, aud tho last man at the counter was Stt in for the drinks. It was told around the Senate to-day, on the authority of Logan, that Robert T. Lincoln, old Abe’s eldest son, would certainly bo Secretary of War under Gar field. I heard tho other day a beautiful letter Garfield wrote last summer in reply to one of congratulation on bis nomination from a school girl here, of my acquain tance, and sball try and get a copy of it. It was among the very first of the kind he received, and was answered the day of its reception, 'i’be Miss in question is very pretty, very charming, decidedly clever, aud is descended from a family bearing a historic name in Georgia. Logan made another iguominous fail ure yesterday to get np liis hill In the Senate putting Grant on tho retired list of the army with the rank of general, greatly to old Tecumsch’s delight, who is bitterly hostile to, and has fought it vigorously from the beginning. The vote ran on party lines, except that Sena tor Lamar voted with the Republicans. He probably thinks it unwise policy for the South to antagonize the measure, as her motives will certainly be misrepre sented and misconstrued at the North. But wasn’t Logau hot over his failure— the third or fourth, I believe, with tbis measure. He chawed and spat with a vigor, profusion and reckless disregard of aim that was fearful. Mr. Hayes got a good shaking up yes terday at Alexandia by the fall of that platform, and Senator Withers, a sprained ankle. Strange to say none of the trooly loyl have as yet suggested “rebel treacbe- rv.” Had it been Grant what a howl would have gone up. The day here was rather tamely celebrated. A few scatter ing militia paraded, some of them with averaged fifteen or twenty thousand dol lars annually. EX-GOVEBNOR COOKE, of this district, when she enjoyed the ex pensive luxury of a chief magistrate, died the same morning with Carpenter, about one hour earlier,and from the same disease. He had been sick many months. He was a brother of that emiuent financier, Jay Cooke, who demonstrated—on paper—that a national debt was a national blessing, and formerly was quite rich. Of late years, however, he had been much re duced in circumstances, and, of course, nearly forgotten. It was his daughter to whom Fred Grant was engaged to be married when her father was supposed'to be so “warm,” fittanciatlyf but the Grant boys had been too well trained to mate with impecunious damsels so, Fred wrig gled out of the match. Tne other boys also did honor to their teaching. One mated with a California heiress ana the other with the daughter of cx-Senator Chaffee, of Colorado, one of the most disgustingly opulent politicians of that State. A. W. R. THE TELEGRAPH COMPANIES. Argument on the Injunction Granted the French Cable Company. New York, February 26.—The ar- ;umeut before the United States Circuit ,'ourt, relative to the temporary injunc tion granted iu behalf of the French Cable Company to restrain the carrying out of the agreement of consolidation, was continued to-day. Several affidavits in rebuttal of those put in evidence by the complainant aud were produced by the defeuse aud admitted by the judge. Ono of the affidavits was signed ‘by Norvin Green, who, as president of the Western Union Telegraph Company, testified that there had been no complaints from the French Cable Company that it did not get Us full share of the cable business;-* that the na ture and cxisteiico of the pooling arrangement between the Western Union and the Atlantic and Pacific telegraph companies was known to the plaintiff be fore 1878, and that he believed the com plaint of threatened loss ot business by the French Cable Company was only a iretended and not the real cause of bring- ng the suit. Jay Gould testified tbat it was untrue that the negotiations relative to;tho agree ment of Dec. I860, which complainant alleges Is detrimental to its interest, wero made as a result of any unlawful combi nation or confederation whatever. Several other affidavits of a similar im port were admitted in evidence, when Gen. S wayne opened the argument in be half of the defense. He argued that if an injunction to restrain the carrying out of tho consolidation agreement was allowed, an execution would be impracticable; that the agreement of December, 1880, was of no binding 3 : of the French Cable Company that it bad enjoyed tbe right to send incoming mes sages and collect outgoing messages from everyofficeof tho Western Union Tele graph Company. Mr. Delatield, counsel for plaintiff, ask ed be to allowed to produce a list of the stockholders ot tho Western Union to show that Gay Gould owned the principal shares of the stock of that company as well as that of the American Union which he (Gay Gould) admitted that he owned. Judge Ulatcbford stated that if it proved material at any stage of tho case he would admit the evidence alluded to. LAND LEAGUE. the very brightest scarlet'eoats imaginable, and tbe beef-eaters all had holiday and f ot numerously and emphatically drunk. overheard one of them who was cv idently from his brogue, a true blue Irish mau, ask his compauiou “why the dlvil the government allowed auybody to wear thlm bloody coats In this free country.” , MB. BLOUNT, who has charge of the sundry civil bill now before .the House, has cer tainly earned tbe deep and lasting grati- tude of Savannah. He has sncceeded in incorporating among its provisions one appropriating $00,000 for lighting the Sa vannah nver from its mouth to the city, thus doing away with any necessity for vessels bound to that port to anchor all night at Tybee, and wait until morning before resuming their course up the river. The river will be thoroughly lighted all its course between those points, and thus do away with the slightest necessity for detention. A more important provision for the benefit of our principal seaport could scarcely have been made, and Mr. Blount is fully recognized as dcsorvingall the credit of having, with his acctisiomod energy and persistent effort, carried it through. It is certainly a matter upon which he, and the people of Savannah, and tho State generally, may bo equally and warmly congratulated. It may also bo noted in connection with Mr. Blount’s work this winter, that he has strong hopes ot securing an appro priation for a library at Macon for tbe use of the bar practicing in tbe Federal courts at tbat place. Results, suck as these, may not claim much space In the newspaper and press reports, but they tell very powerfully among the people wlio are benefitted by them, and are sure to bear rich fruit in tho end. It will be im possible tills session to . do anything to .wards getting an appropriation for a pub lic building at Macon, but there Will. be no Irouble'about it iu tbo next Congress I confidently expect by tho autumn of 1SS2, at tbe latest, to see such substantial evidences of the fact of an appropriation hi ving been secured, as will make a liand- sorao building only a question of tbe tlmo necessary to complete it. A SHINDY IN THE HOUSE, mean a legislative one, of course, marked and marred yesterday’s session Itwasnot“all on aceouut of Eliza,” as they say iu “Olivette,” the last thing in comic opera, but as usual the outcome of Radical “cusscdncss.” Cox succeeded in calling up his apportionment bill, hut the Radicals went to filibustering, and bung it bigb and dry on tbo horns of a squab ble that resulted iu an all-night’s session, and the consequent waste of an entire day. The day was also lost In the Sen ate, by its adjournment on account of Car penter’s death. The point at issuo in tho House, briefly stated, is that the Radicals want tho apportionment made on one basis and the Democrats on another. The - - , former, of course, true to thoir natures force, aud that it was shown by tho raoon and customs, are bent on cheating the ~ r ‘'- ™ »• i» i... South out of her right to increased repre. sentation ou account of in creased population, and the Democrats equally determined on giving her the benefit thereof. It was finally concluded to leave it to a committee of ten, five of each side, who, of course, will not agree aud throw the whole matter on the House. I am open to a lively bet there will be uo apportionment bill at all passed tbis session. By tbrowiug it over to the next Congress, the Jacobins hope to make some party capital out of it through numerous strolling committees who will inlest the South and gather a mass of negro and scallawag lies to be used as a basis for such hostile legislation as they can compass. Some of the dodgers last night were yanked out of bed and others captured at Mr. Hayes’ last recep tion where they wero just about to attack a magnificent (upper—without, however, the usual trimmings, as it was strictly and disgustingly a cold water affair. That reception and supper were, by tho way, the grandest social events of tho Hayes usurpation. Three thousand persons were iresent, and It was midnight before tho jand played “Homo Swecet Home.” Mrs. Hayes’ dress was “of silver-colored and white satin cut square in the neck and finished with bands of crystal passemen terie. The npper part of tho sleeves were of crystal embroidered crepe lisse with arnitures of the same mingled with the raperies. Neither flowers nor jewelry were worn.” The supper-room and table are described, doubtless with strict truth, as “the great attractions” of tho evening. “The table in the slato dining-room was wonderfully beautiful. The mirror, in troduced during the Grant regime, lay the entire length. Tho most remarkable among the floral ornaments was a magni ficent vase of jacqueminot buds topped by parasol of lilies of the valley. Largo bouquets wero placed whenjvcr there was a ace, and served to heighten tho effect of c edible ornaments. The table was finished at each end with simulated foun tains, four feet high, tho water of spun sugar, which glistened with all the fresh ness ot the genuine article. Gondolas four fed high, drawn by swans almost life-size, and dolphins of delicate confec- tionery rested upon tbe glossy surface. Tbe bounteous profusion of cut flowers, delicate crystal and china, tho marvelous structures in ices, creams, croquettes, comfits, and confectionery mingled with fruits, both natural and in concaves of sugar, made a s:ene of bewildering beauty. The table in the private dining room had the Hiawatha boat, laden with flowers, as a centre piece.” SENATOR CARPENTER’S DEATH generally and sincerely mourned. When I wrote on Wednesday, though I knew he was very near tho border ol shadow land, I did not dream the end was so fearfully near, and its announcement thrilled and chilled the publicbeart. For 14 months past,howcver.ho had known that death was new him. Ho had consulted many physicians, but none of them had ever given him the least hope. More than year ago, during a visit to his home in Milwaukee, his family physician had told him ho had diabetes, and immediately be gan a death struggle with that fearful dis ease. He conquered it, but upon consult ing a famous Now York doctor shortly af terwards was informed that Bright’s disease of the kidneys, tho sequel -to tho other disease, had doycloped Itself and that bis days were numbered. This was the reason ho kept out of the canvass last year. He remained quietly here, studying the chemical analysis sent him every week by his doctor,which showed how much nearer every day tho dread sapper, Death, bad pushed its parallels.

New York, February 27.—A very largo Land League meeting was hold iu East Forty-fifth street this afternoon. John Devoy was present and was loudly applauded on entering the hall. Mr. M. D. Gallagher explained the aims and methods of the Laud League. There was danger, ho said, that persons not informed on the Irish laud question would be led to look upon this movement as an effort to subvert vested rights. This was not the case; nor was it tree, as some of the newspapers in Englabd had said, that all or nearly all the present landed proprie tors of Ireland had received their titles of the land estates court. Ho mentioned some of the largest landowners whose fathers had received whole districts of land stolen from the people for disreputable services rendered the English government. The fact was that the land of Ireland had been stolen by force and arms from the jcoplc, and its return to the people would jo only a restoration of stolen property. But the Land League did not want to take tho land from the present possessors without compensation. It was proposed to givo a fair price to be paid by the ten- i ants in installments, Mrs. Wm. E.

The Irish landlords really live in luxury in London and Paris at tbe expense of America. Hundreds of thonsanas of dol lars are sent to Ireland yearly by Dish sons and daughters in America to pay ex orbitant rents to keep a roof over their fathers and mothers and helpless little brothers and sisters. If-tho Irish people owned the land this drain would not be necessary, and tbe money would be ex pended and invested here. Another reason Is a patriotic one. The Irishmen and sons of Irishmen in tbe United States had ever proved themselves ready to sacrifice their lives in tiie hours of America’s need. When tbe Irish peo ple asked American sympathy and sup port they wero not begging—they were only asking for some return for what they had done for America.

The procession con sisted of six court carriages escorted by cavalry. Outside the Brandenburg Gate the procession was received by tbe gov ernor, the commandant and the prefect of police. A salute of seventy-two guns was fired. On tho Pariser Platz, Burgomaster Forckenbeck welcomed the Princess Augusta in the name of the city of Berlin. The procession was enthusiastically re ceived at all points. The royal castle was reached at 3 o’clock p. m. Tho Princess thanked the people from the bottom of her heart for her grand re ception, saying that In return for the love displayed for her in such rich measure she would seek henceforth to be regarded by tho Berliners as entirely one of them selves.

Marianna, Fla., February 28.—The Great Saflfcrinr In Uau—lone* ol Cbllinnsl,ln;tbe Beeent Battle*. Iront the Guayequil Nation. Advices from Lima or the 26tli of Jan uary say that great distress is experienced there, even by tho well-to-do classes. Hundreds of beggars swarm tbo streets, and Gen. Saavedra, civil and military head of the department, has personally distrib uted 3,000 soles among them. The Chil ians cannot find any one to sign a peace with, as Pierol> has refused to come to Lima for that purpose, and no pronuncia- mento bad taken place at either Lima or Callao. Commerce Is much hampered by the clrc tiation of the Incas and other pa per money. A few merchants met at the Bolsa and agreed upon" some measures, which however, have not improved mat ters. On the 13th the Alcaide of Lima, at tlio request of the Chilian authorities, convok ed a meeting of the prominent citizens to consider the sitiuation. They decided thatSenorFierola’s authority was suffi cient to establish a government at any place, and that while accepting the situa tion, they could not disown the national government. In consequence of this de claration, martial law has been proclaim ed over the territory occupied by the Chil ians. Two thousand eight hundred pris oners were taken by the Chilians and carried to the island of San Lorenzo. Chorrillos was burned to the ground. Tbo streets, the malecon and beach were, up to tbe 22d, strewn with dead bodies, sup posed -o exceed 6,000 In number. Tbe Chilian loss iu the battle of the I3thwas over 2,700. Tbe battle, which was vigorously sustained by tbj corps under command of Col. Iglesias, lasted ten hours. The burning of Chorrillos was provoked by she stubborn resistance of those who were driven Into the town and who fired on the enemy from the streets, roofs ana balconies. In the batilo of tbe 15th the Chilians suffereu most, as they bad one killed to every five wounded. It is estimated that the Chilian loss at both battles may bavo reached from 8,000 to 10,000, and tbat of tho l’cruvlans about the same; for, although at the battle of the 13th there was fearful mortality in ” Feruv.an camp, In tbat on the 16th ” tne tb the explosion of the mines and automatic shell caused terrible havoc in the Chilian ranks. La Actualidad is the name of a new paper started in Lima, edited by Senor Errazuriz, proprietor ot La Patrice, of Valparaiso. It is said that Fierola has with him about 800 men. The battle of Miraflores wassuddenand unexpected. The Chilian commander having ordered a thorough reconnoissance, tiie Peruvian outposts fired on the recon noitring parties, and a general engage ment followed. An incident thou took place which caused very serious complica tions. The diplomatic corps, having re paired to Miraflores to endeavor to medi ate in a capitulatiou, were suddenly alannod by tiie fire of tbe combatants, effect tbat the British Minister and ad miral bad bcei£killed. Tbe Shannon’s commander ordered her Majesty’s vessels to get ready for action; they lowered top masts and proceeded to Callao, Intending an imined : ate attack on tbe Cbillian fleet if the, rumoc was, confirmed. The com mander of tne Shannon ascertained, how ever, that the only ground for the report was that the British admiral, on account of his -Wavy build, had received au injury from a horse which had been offered him a short distance from Lima. MANUFACTURES IN THE SOUTH In tbe Centre ef Hennfeetnrlnc Be- in* Drawn Sonthaant?—Influence* Tending to tbat Kernlt — Georgia and the Advantage* OStored to In dustrial Enterprise toy her Natural Beaonree* and lucveaotn* Railroad Facilities. We have been so accustomed to think of New England as the centre of our great manufacturing industries, and the natural place to which manufacturers of textile labrics should look far encouragement and stimulus for tiie employment of their capital and skill, that it is not customary to think of other localities as holding out inducements tending to draw away the supremacy in manufacturing, held for so many years, almost undisputed, by Mas sachusetts and her neighboring States. But such inducements are being held out, and entefprising projectors of railroads, as well as far-seeing manufacturers and producers, aro justified in studying the question aud basing action upon the indi cations which support the belief tbat within tbe next ten years a great change in the center of manufacturing is likely to be witnessed. The tendency of this movement in certain important depart ments of manufacturing is undoubtedly Southward. New England for tliepast few years has held its manufacturing supt-o—*cr nw so much, from natural faculties of water lower, climate, transportation, etc., as I rom tho character of its population. In the thriving New England manufacturing towns are a class of operatives who are ranked among the oldest residents and la niauy cases form one ofthe most substan tial and permament elements ef tbe busi ness prosperity of tbe community. Infre quent casesthey are living iu homes which tbeir ancestors established before them, and where they have accumulated prop erties that are now to be found, in some instances,invested iu the enterprises where their labor is employed. In tbis way strong communities ot the best kind of operatives are permanently established. To lead them to abandon these localities for others, strong inducements must be offered, and it will be found as a rule that those operatives willing to change their work and places of abode for new fields and new enterprises are of the float ing,adventuresome element—by no means the best for employment in starting- man ufactories in new localities. This is prob ably the strongest force tbat bas held so long the.center of manufacturing in New England. Other influences are at work now which threaten to overbalance tliis power. Look ed at from a broad and unprejudiced standpoint, it must seem not a little strange that this power of association of skilled labor and its congregation in cer tain localities should have so. long been able to limit the work of tbe loom and tho shuttle to certain sections. Colton is transported from tbo far South to New York, and alter passing through tbe mar ket is resliipped, in most cases, to locali ties from 150 to 300 miles North, there to be worked up by machinery, the motive ]»wcr of which is furnished largely from fuel bronght by water and rail hundreds ’ Of miles from th3 coal fields of Pennsyl vania. Then tbe cotton, in tiie form of manufactured fabrics, Is brought again to this market, and from here distributed widespread throughout the country, much of it, however, returning to the Southern States from which it first started. One of the chief inducements in the earlier days of the cotton factories it* Now England for their location there was, of course, found in the water privileges af forded. But the growth of manufactur ing bas been so rapid that to-day in but few towns ol tbat section can the water power be estimated as furnishing m>)[C than a minor part ot the power required. Very rarely can a factory be found which relies wholly upon water,while in the ma jority of cases the chief reliance is of ne cessity in the use of large quantities of coal. It is an apparent fact also that tho flow of mountain streams of that as of other sections where tho demands of in creasing population aud traffic in lumber are rapidly cutting away the f forests, has m been for the past few years considerably decreased. It is a question worthy tho st-idy and consideration of projectors and others, whether tho natural tendency of those Influences will be to draw manufacturing from tbe North toward the South, with its cotton fields and neighboring coal mines. Much attention has been turned to Georgia, as promising to be a future manufacturing locality of importance. The State presents a remarkable variety of surface as well as resource. From the low and swampy lands of tbe Atlantic . coast and Florida line, extending inland perhaps twenty miles, tbe elevation in creases toward the North, until at a dis tance of 150 miles from the sea an eleva tion of about 600 feet is reached. North ward from the central portion of the State the surface grows more and more rapidly, until a billy and mountainous region is reached, where elevations of from 1,500 to 4,000 feet are found, mncli resembling the Blue Mountain sections of New England. Georgia furnishes some of tbe finest water privileges to be found in the country. A few of them, of course, have been util ized for many years for a variety of man ufacturing purposes, chiefly by flouring aud cotton mills, but never to the extent that it would seem natural they should have been through their favorable location. The $3,000,000 which was found to be in use in the manufacture of cotton goods in twenty-five mills in Georgia, by the cen sus of 1870, has grown into a much larger sum of lato years, as the preaeut census will show, but there are single New England villages wnicli exhibit the use of more capital in that department of manufacture, than tbat entire State with its splendid natural facilities. Rank ing among the first cotton producing States, rich in its variety of soil aua product-, and so fortunate in being able to present attractions to such a diversified number of industrial enterprises, it will not be surprising to see a rapid increase of manufacturing at an early day in Georgia; a prospect which seems plainly to stimulate, aud with good reason, tlio projectons aud managers of the railroads aiding in tiie development of the magnifi cent resources of tbis State.—American Railroad Journal.
