Prosperity amd Adversity.—It is an old
adage that “ Prosperity makes friends and ad
versity tries them.” A long experience has
taught us the truth of this axiom. When the
sunshine of prosperity is beaming upon a man,
every body is his lriend. Sycophants, todies,
and lick spittles hang around him, follow him
up, and are always ready to do his bidding. But
let the clouds ot adversity begin to Lover over
him; let iortuue frown, and his bright pros
pects and lond hopes begin to wither ; how sud
den is the change of' the conduct of these sun
shine friends. They drop oil one alter another,
and tew are left to do him honor, sympathize
with him, offer him consolation, or tender to
him help, in the hour ot his need.
if any of these quondam friends, when they
meet him in the streets, are chided w ith the tear
that be will ask them tor some favor, and pars
him by with a formal bow or a scarcely audible
salutation. There are some honorable excep
lions to this rule, but they are like angels visits
—few and tar between. We see, in the** latter
days, more of this kind of spirit and disposition
than in former times. The late polilie.il levolu
lion through which we have passed, seems l«r
have produced a similar revolution in Hie minds
of our people as a general thing. .Selfishness
now seems to be the predominant feeling in
their hearts, which have liecotne cations to the
wants and necessities ot their fellow being.
As to the legal right a man has to keep
every dollar in his pocket, which be
possesses, we make no question. But
when we come to contemplate this thing in a
moral, social and religious poiut of view, we
hoid it to be highly reprehensible in every
aspect that we can view it. Many good, true,
and kind hearted men, by the result of the late
war, have been reduced Irom a state ol affluence
to abject dependence. These men, who, in the
days of their prosperity, have fed the hungry,
clothed the naked, administered to the wants of
the widow and the orphan, are now, themselves,
the objects of charity, while some of the very
men whom they have been instrumental in
building up in their fortunes, and who have
escaped the disasters which have ruined their
benefactors, would not contribute a dollar to
keep one or them and their families
lrom starving. We regret to have lo
chionicle these thoughts, but this sta<e ot
things is a crying evil, and contributes largely
to the amount ot distress which pervades our
land. These remnrks are only intended tor
those who are obnoxious to the charges con
tained in them. We have but little hope that
they will soiteu the hearts or change the course
ot those lor whom they are iutemled We hope,
however, it our remarks should be read by
them, their consciences may smite them; and,
though like one ot old, “ they are joined to their
idols,” ne shall have the consolation ol knowing
that we caused their callous hearts to feel bad.

Hill ov MicsiMC Fnuc Co., No. S. I
Atlanta, 6a, April 1st 1S.U. f
At a regular meeting ol Mechanic Fire Com
pany No. 2, held to-night, the Committee ap
pointed to draft suitable resolutions relative to
Fiziur vs. Cobn Meal for Food.—The
subject of food is one which interests tbe masses
ol our people more than any other. Bread is
considered the ** staff of lile ” It is an article
of diet which is indispensable to the rich as well
as the poor. Bread is the last article ol loaf
which a man in a state of destitution gives up.
Eve»y other resource lor the sustaining ol ani- , . . . _ . . .. . , . .. ic
mat life may fail, but as long as he can get bread | the reCfl P UoQ ol *** delegation sent by this
be will not starve. Hence, every thing which I Company tc attend the Grand Tournament held
goes to cheapen and economize'this article of ! by the Augusta Fire Department, February 22,
diet is important lo the masses. This is our ex- submarined the following, which was adopted:
Resolved, That the thanks of this Company
are due, and are hereby tendered to those fire
men of our sister city, who exerted themselves
to make ibe visit ot our delegation a pleasant
one. For the generous and unlooked for.hospi-
talities of “ Clinch No. 2,” and “ Richmond
No. 7,” do we feel deeply grateful, and assure
them tha' their kindness shall ever be remein-
bered with a brotherly feeling and a fireman’s
gratitude. Having been tested aud found not
wantmg in things pertaining to tbe comtort of
i heir brethren in this world, so may they not
Ik- found wanting when weighed by the Great
Chief of us all.
Resolved, That to S. K. Johnson, Esq , noted
for his efficiency as Superintendent of the Geor
gia Kail road, we extend our hearty thanks tor
evidences ot his geDeroiis heartedness more ac
cenishle than words, aud a» lie has recently
taken an Assistant to aid him in the duties ot
lite, we trn t that the remaining portion thereof
may he one ol unalloyed happiness; with no
run <ffg, break—downs w blow-ups, to mar the
balance of the journey.
Resolved, That to Gen. G. T. Anderson, Local
Agent, and “Mechanic’s ” pet, and other r.,i road
officials, we make onr acknowledgements lor
many favors.
Resolved, That the foregoing be published in
the ALluuta aud Augusta papers.
Jas. M. Bitice, |
cuse lor offering a few thoughts on this subject.
We are indebted lo tbe Southern limes and
Planter, for the data we propose to give as to
the comparative cost ol flour and corn meal,
liis statistics we admit are new lo us, but they
appear to be vpry plausible.
A barrel of llour, weighing 196 ll>s., could be
obtained for about $7. Tuia 196 lbs. of flour
would last one baud for rations 156 days,
allow-ini! If lbs. per day, which is the customary
allowance Tbe rations of meal during this
|M*riod would amount to five aud a hall bushels.
I’his at $1 60 [>er bushel would amount to
$S so Thir would make $1 HO in favor Ol the
floor on the tood lor one baud every 56 days, or
nearly $12 a year on each hand, and $1,200 jx-r
ve.ir when there arc one hundred hands to Iced.
Flow thin it would seem that flour is a cheaper
diet than corn meal. We admit that circum-
'Iniiees may change this aspect ot things. The
law of supply and demand comes in. It we
should have a bad wheat crop, and a good corn
etop. onr theory would tail. But all things
liciug equal, a good corn aud a good wheat
crop, mir theory will hold good.
Antidote for the Poisonous Jas a mine —A
lewi days ago we noticed the death of a child,
produced by sucking the jasamine flower. We
s<te in the Augusta Constitutionalist of the 7ih
uist., an account of a similar case, but which
f •riuimlely did not result latally. It. seems that
a little boy about twenty months old, was taken
by its nurse in the woods to gather flowers
While there the little fellow ale several jasamine
flowers. lu a few moments he was taken vio
leotly ill. When taken to the house he could
n> it her sit nor stand, and was perfectly blind,
tie was put to his mother’s breast and com-
incited rucking A hot bath, with mustard,
was prepared, and he was put iu it for about
live minutes, took him out, wiped him dry,
wrapped him in a hlanket, and applied him
again to the breast, administering to him a tea-
s|mu>iilul of castor oil. Reaction appeared to
have taken place. The oil was repeated, aud a
L-id of cow’s milk wa« given. Reaction imme
diately to*'k place. Next morning he was up,
and apparently as well as ever. As this is the
season for the blooming ot the jasamine, we pub
lish th«*se tacts lor the benefit ot parents whose
children may happen to the same accident.
Late Spring.—The Greensborougb ITerald
of the 7th insL.says: “ We are still having cold
weai her, frost, aud ice nearly every morning this
week. Hon. Thos. Stocks, now nearly 86 years
of age, says it is the latest spring within his
long memory. By the way, we are glad to see
that the health of this venerable and good man
is unimpaired.” We unite with our cotempora
ry in the expression of Iris gratification at the
good health of Juuge Stocks, whom we have
known from our boyhood as a good man and
useful citizen.
Matrimonial Relations Among the Col
ored Race.—It those who affirm that the
negro is the equal ol the white man and that
he only needs the benefit of a lew vearp mental
culture to make him so intellectually aud social
ly, as well as politically, could speed a few
days iu the Justices Courts ot Allan’s, they
would he forced to conclude that their opinions
were based upon an impr -crical theory, at lea-e
so !ara.i those ot the Airic.au race that inhabit
this my are concerned T jc great majority ot
tin- men and women have never been married
by any recognized authority, and as a conse
quence ot that laxity they exchange husbands
and wives ol’.ener than any other species ot
property Mornionidii exitri-i almost as exten
sively here as io Utah, and numerous instances
are touud m which a woman has children bear
ing as many different surnames as they are
numerous. A common practice amoug the
women when ihey want a particular husband is
to get him up on a charge ot seduction aud t ike
advantage ol the law which allows that offense
to be settled by the marriage ot the parlies.
To escape the prescribed punishment, be oiten
agrees to settle the difficulty iu that way,
whether guilty or not, and thus the “cullud
lady” gains a husbind.
Yesierday Mrs. Emma Hughs, a colored lady,
applied lo a Justice ot the Peace tor a wart ant
to arrest her husband, to whom she has never
been married, but with whom she has lived six
years. She informed His HoJor that her leiue
lord was taking every article ot clothes she
owns, and was to leave last night to go to so
other wife outside of the city. It philanthropic
people who really want lo benefit the negro race
and cause anything like virtue to exist in their
succeeding generations, would take a step in
this direction, they should attend to this matter,
which would be of more real benefit, than tbe
passage ot the Fitteenth Amendment a thousand
timm over, or the promotion of a few ot the
sharp oues lo office, who allow their zeal for
promotion to run away with the desire to bene
fit the masses ot their own race.
Personal.—We had the pleasure of a rail
yesterday, in our sanctum, from Mr. Thomas W.
Brooks, who lormerly redded in this city, but
left here some touiUen or fifteen years ago, and
has since that time been a wanderer in the tar
Western States and Territories. He is late
from ili<* Territory of Arizona, and has travj
eled much in California. He gives a glow ii g
accouul.ot the natural resources of that va.it
country and the gieat field (or enterprise which
it oilers to emigrants going thither. He had with
him several specimens ot walking canes, mauti
factum! at Sau Fraucisco. They were taslefuilv
embossed with gold, and various specimens id
gold quartz, taken Irom the diflercut mines ol
that country. He alto exhibited to us several
crude specimens of quartz taken from tin* richest
miues iu the.goid region of that country. Mr.
Brooks hoars upon him marks ot liea'th and
vigor of the highest order and presents physi
cally the finest specimen ot the Western man.
He returns here ou a visit to his old home, and
leaves this eveniug to visit his father who lives
in Palmetto, Ua. He will return in a few days,
and will call on mauy ot his old lrieuds and ac
quaintances.
Suootino Affray.— We learn the following
facts Iroui the Savannah Advertiser, ol the 6lli,
in regard to the shooting ot Mr. P..trick Etgo,
engineer ou the Atlantic and Gull Railroad, ou
Monday last. He was shot by his fireuiau,
Thomas Brannon. Tbe quarrel arose I: the
imj roper ia sing of steam by the fireman dur
ing the tem|K>rary absence of the engineer.—
During the altercation Brannon went lo the box
on the tender, and taking a rev> Ivor there-
trom, tired at Eigo, the ball s liking him
at out three inches below the right nipple, aud
passiag into the cavity ot the body. AIL r fir
ing the shot, Binunon leaped from the eugiue
and escaped. The authorities are in pursuit of
him, but at last accounts he had not been ar
rested. Mr. Eigo, though suderiug intensely
from his worn d, remained by hi* engine, and
brought the tram to the city. The suigeon pro
nounces the wound very dangerous.

Serb us Accident.—Yesterday evening, as
Dr Cowan, who lives some nine miles Horn the
city on the McDonough Hoad, was going out of
town, jut-t b*lc-w the old Rolling Mill his horse
became frightened by the passiug ot the train
ou the Georgia Railroad, ran away and threw
Mrs. Cowan out of the carriage, b> which she
was very seriously injured. She was cairied to
the house of Mr. Wrn lit and remained there
las; night. Tr-is morning, though un btc to
wa k, sue was lifted into a carriage and carried
home.
Poultry.—We find in the Southern Cultivator
an interesting article on the au* ject ot raising
poultry. He advises ’‘Early feeding aud turn
ing out, as very important to the health and
vigor ol fowls, so that late sleeping and poultry
raising will not agree.” The writer recom
mends the Brahma lowl, as preferable to any
other, to any one who wishes to raise either ter
market or home use. They are large. h< althy,
gentle, no fighters, and are just as industrious
in burning lor food as any common lowi.
Du-t.—Our city fathers deserve the tbnnks
ot ttie entire people o? this citv, for the resolu
tion making it a punishable offense to haul dirt
in loose wagons or carts. We may confidently
e.Y|>eci that we will have less dust during the
coming summer than we had last.
The Lumpkin Telegraph—We are in re
ceipt of ihe first number ot this Weekly sheet,
published in Lumpkin, Stewart county, Georgia,
by Messrs. Christian and Cl is by. It is a neatly
printed sheet, aud contains much good reauina.
in their salutatory, they say they consider poli
tics of minor importance, and will endeavor to
turn the minds of their readers to other
thoughts. We wish the new enterprise abun
dant success.
Uniforming City Police.—Cur City Coun
cil at their last meeting passed a resolution in
structing ihe Police Committee to inquire into
the expediency of uniforming the city police.
We published not long since, an article urging
this measure udou the attention of the Council,
and gave our reasons therefor We hope the
coum.iu.ee will make atavorable teport, and the
measure will be speedily carried out. Many
other cities Lave done Ups and we hope our city
will promptly lollow suit.
A Local Editor Kills A Man.— Mr. Ham-
ill, iocil editor ot the Opelika Locomotive, shot
and killed the Superintendent ol Public Schools
tor Lee county, at that place yesterday, at 11
o’clock. It si-etns there had been some offensive
remarks made in the paper about the misappro
priation of the iunds in that county; that the
school officer approached the editor with a
drawn pistol, and that the latter hurriedly drew
one irom his pocket and shot the assailant dead.
Howmucnsover we may regard occurrences ot
this sort, we cannot disapprobate the action ot
Mr. Hamill. The press should be left lree to
auimadvcrt upon the derelictions of public func
tionaries, and there is no reason why they should
account lor the same at a pistol’s mouth.
Market House to be Sold.—The City
Council, at their last meeting, passed a resolu
tion to sell the two market houses in our city
and appropriate a portion of the funds to the
erection ot a new city calaboose. The two mar
ket bouses, lor some time past, have been lying
idle—those selling fresh meats, vegetables, &e.,
preferring to pay licence and do business in pri
vate stores. We believe we should have one
good market house conveniently located in a
central position, where every one could go aud
get tiieir supplies. Other cities are content with
one market house, and why should we uot be?
The action ot Council is in a right direction, ii
they will carry it out by building a new market
house in some ceutral position.
Letter From China.—Mr. John S. Wise
placed in our hands yesterday, au original letter
Irom Niuypo, China, written by Albert F. Ty
re*, a resident ol that lar oft country, formerly
ol Georgia, to his uncle, Fleming Tyser. It was
dated January 11th, 1870. It was in a fine stall*
ot preservation, notwithstanding its voyage hall
round the world. The ielter contained nothing
ol public interest, and we make mention of it
merely on account ol the great distance it lias
traveled, which makes it somewhat a curiosity.
What Enterprise Will Do.— M. E
K. nny’s success in Atlanta is an rxamp'e of
what enterprise, combined with integrity in
business transactions, will do to further the
pi asperity of men,let them beengaged iu what
ever business they may be. Shortly utter tl
surrender, h**, with modest pretensions aud very
sparse capital, commenced business here, intro
ducing the best Chicago Ales into this commu
nity and, making that business a specialty tor
the nonce, soon laid the foundation lor a more
extensive and prosperous career. Courteous in
h.s druu anor to bis patrons, lib* ral iu his den!
ings, but nevertheless economical and practical
tu soon built up a trade that has now no limits
iu tlie.State in the specialties tor which he has
become famed, and enjoys a city patronage that
is evidence of his popularity. We like to see
such men as Kenny thrive, for they deserve
prospei ity.
Coal.—Mr. Ladd is removing his stock of
coal Irom the yard lormerly occupied by him on
the Atlanta Hotel lot, to the old coal yard near
Glean & Wright’s store, at the crossing ot For
syth street and the Western and Atlautic Rail
load. He expects to keep a constant supply ot
coal on hand, aud lo furnish Iris customers us
heretofore.
Agricultural Convention.—Tbe Savan
nah Rnrs says that at a recent meeting of the
Executive Committee of that Society arrange
ments were perfected for an Agricultural Con
vention to be held in Atlanta on the second
Monday in May next. The arrangements look
to the appointment of three delegates Irom each
county iu the State, who will be passed to and
from the Convention on the different roads of
the State tree of charge. The Convention is to
take into consideration all matters connected
with the agricultural interes s oi the State,
especially those wh'ck may be proper subjects
of hgislation, and will make a report thereon
to that body.
Corn Brooms.—Mr. Emry, who has a small
broom isctory iu this city, and who is extensive
ly engaged iu the business, at Nashville, Ten
nessee, furnishes us with the following statistics,
which he has carefully collected from an expe
rience of lour years in the business. He states
that twelve thousand dollars per month is paid
out tor brooms bt ought from other States io
Georgia, making an aggregate ot one hundred
and fifty tour thousand dollars per annum for
the single article of brooms. All this might be
saved io the people ot the State, by cultivating
toe broom corn and manufacturing our own
brooms. This plant grows so well in our State,
that our wants could be supplied as well as a
large amount manufactured tor exportation to
other States. We hope our farmers will wake up
to a sense oi their interest on this subject, and
the time will soon come when not a broom will
be imported into Georgia.
“Constant Dripping Wears the Rock
Away”—Yesterday evening,while passing near
ihe car shed at the time ot the arrival of some
of the passenger trains Irom the various rail
roads centering there, our sympathies were
excited iu behalt of the ladies aud children get
ting on and off the cars in the rain, and then
found only one miserable little room in which
they could seek shelter until conveyances were
eady to take them off. If “ constant dripping
wears tbe rock away,” may we not hope that
constant reminders will induce our great rail
road mtn to turn their attention to this deficien
cy iu railroad* accommodation here? Last
fall or winter there were rumors that
measures were about to be inaugurated for the
erection ot a handsome union passenger depot,
but winter has worn itself away, and spring is
fairly upon us without any visible steps in this
direction.
Sudden Death.—We regret to learn the
deuth of Henry, son of Mr. Charles Heinz, ol
this city. The little fellow was in his father’s
store on Whitehall street, Wednesday afternoon,
apparently in good health. Thursday following
he was a corpse—stricken down by ihe tearful
disease, meningitis. Truly, in the midst of tile
we are in death.
Accidental Death.-Mr. Edward C. Jar-
relt, a worthy citizen of Mouroe county, lost his
liie by* accident on Sunday last He was ridiDg
home Irom church, in a buggy with Miss Evaus,
when the mule ran away and upset the buggy,
throwing the occuoauts violently against a log
by tbe loadside. Mr. Jarretthad a blood vessel
ruptured, aud died in about two hours. Miss
Evans was seriously but not dangerously hurt.
Death rt Chloroform.—We learn, says rite
Savannah Republican, that a surgeon adminis
tered chloroform to a little boy ou Monday, lor
the purpose of performing an operation upon
ilia mouth. The child died from the effects of
the chloroform the next day. It is also said that
the reason why the chloroform produced this
deplorable effect, was, that, the liver of the child
was diseased. 11 this is so, it shows that chlo-
roloim is a dangerous medicine, and should
never be used by any but the most skillful phy
sicians.
Interesting Case.—The case of Fisk against
Frank was tried before Justice Smith yesterday.
The suit was brought cn several hundred, and
fiitv dollar notes to which the plea of usury was
filed. From what we could gather of the evi
dence it appeared that Mrs. Frank had bor
rowed money at five per cent, per month from
Mr. Fisk, that Mrs. Frank’s store was burned,
and that Mr. F. served processes of garnish
ment on various Insurance agents who were to
n-pair the losses, itc. OlinrUs Maddox, E>o ,
appeared for Lbc plaintiff, and Gen. Garliugton
and M. M. Arnold tor the defense.
Larceny.— Alice Beach, a colored girl, was
arrested aud carried before Justice B. D. Smith
yesierday, charge-1 with having stolen potatoes
Irom ihe store ot Mr. Johu T. Hagan, on White
hall street The evidence showed that she
stooped down at a pile ot potatoes as it to tie
her shoe, and at the same time managed to get
possession of the potatoes. A policeman ar
rested her and carried her where she got a
speedy trial and a sentence ot a teiin ot service
in the chain gang.
A "V aluable Book.—We have examined
Pio f . Sanloid's Analytical Arithmetic, and leel
convinced that it will supply a deficiency in
practical Mathematics which has long been felt
in our school sysiem. Several year- experience
Southern Cultivator.—This excellent pe- j u s a teach r Iris caused this want to be pecu-

Katie IS. Hammond.
Once more the grim reaper, with sickle keen.
Has mowed down the bearded grain, at a breath,
And the flowers that grew between."
Katie M. Ha*ro*», died, at Koine, Ga . on the even
ing of March 26th, aged eleven years and two months.
For several years she has been in onr midst, a pale,
feeble iittie girl, rarely ever able to attend her class, yet
occasionally in her place, giving pleasure to her teacher
by th e intelligent interest which ehe manifested in her
lessons.
Often on Sabbath morning she would rise, and be
dressed for Sunday School, but find heraeit too weak
for the walk, and remain at home.
In infancy she was consecrated to God by baptism,
and when she grew older, she read with delight the sa
cred pages of His Holy Word. She seemed to live in
near prospect of death, and often reminded taose sroand
her that she could never get welt. She wag a patient and
thoughtful little sufferer, always endeavoring to conceal
her pain, and sometimes going even when her tailing
strength torsade. We remember her not as a rosy,
pUyiui child, born for the sunshine and the outer
r’d, but as a white wax plant, drooping in doors,
too trail for a clime like this. She had a remark
ably sweet and affectionate disposition, was over reflec
tive for ner years, and very fond of religions reading.
Her departure was sudden and easy, almost too quick
to be realized by those who watched beside her.
What a blank her going away has left in the home
circle. Her shadow yet rests upon the hearts of those
who loved her so well. How they look lor her coming,
and seem almost to hear her footsteps, which, alas I
shall sound no more lor their ears upon the shores of
time.
When we looked upon the serene features of the dead
how like a holy chime came np to onr hearts the words
of Him who said “ Of such is the Kingdon or Heaven."
She bas passed through the dark valley and over the
flood, and will forever live in the lull health and bloom
of eternal youth in “ the beantlihl Zion built above.”
We will long remember tbe sweet lesson of patience
and gentleness taujtat by her life, and we monrn that
it was ended so soon upon eanh ; therefore, be it
Resolved, That, as a school, we tender to the bereaved
family of our dear little sister and friend, oar sincere
sympathy in this hour of trial, wnite we pray Ihe Father
to send to their stricken hearts the Comforter.
Sesolved, That a copy of these resolutions be furnished
the family, and copies for publication to the city papers,
and that they be entered iu the “Memorial Records”
of Trinity Sunday School.

Smith, according to promise, invested the

“Wanted, Motlier*—Not Voters.’*
Under the foregoing beading, Ihe New York
Star is arguing to show that the “ ballot ” is in
consistent with tbe proper discharge of woman’s
duty, as woman; in other words, that woman
cannot be a politician and a woman at one and
the same time. “ The tendency,” it says, of the
“ ballot,” will manifestly “ be towards breaking
up the family, to lessen instead of increase the
number of marriages; to render home educa
tion less thorough instead ot more so. That we
may have good law-givers we must have noble
mothers. It is in the home that all our reforms,
social and political, must begin. It is heart
rending to look about the world and see who
are its mothers. If the women who are wast
ing their breath and spending their lives in the
attempt to shoulder their sex with responsibili
ties which belong to man, would earnestly de
vote themselves to their practical education,
they would accomplish far more ior woman
hood. for humanity, for the home, for society,
for tbe Government, than can ever be done by
giving woman the vote.”
These are sensible views, the correctness of
which every noble matron in the land will ad
mit ; but whether they will have any influence
upon the old maids aud others of the same sex,
who have run mad with the fanatical idea that
woman must become a voter; whether they will
have any influence over the woman’s rights de
magogues of the opposite sex; we very much
doubt. “Woman’s Rights” is the humbug of
the day, and will only play out as other hum
bugs which have prsceeded it have done; that
is, when its novelty becomes exhausted, and the
people become nauseated with it.
Connected with the foregoing, we see that
the Massachusetts Legislature have had the
female suflrage question before that body, and
having appointed a committee to report thereon,
it was done on Friday la3t in the following
wise: that while they varied in their opinions
upon the expediency of amending the Constitu
tion so as to give women the right to vote, they
believed it to be a fit question to be submitted
to the people, and accordingly report a resolve
providing that the question oi striking the word
male from the Constitution shall be voted upon
by the people of the Commonwealth.
NEW YORK.
McFarland Trial—Firth Dap.
New York, April 8.—The interest felt by the
public in the McFarland case deepens as the
case progresses. To-day the court room was
filled to repletion with spectators, the stairs
and corridors were reudered almost impassible,
and in tbe space in front ot the building were
to be seen groups earnestly discussing the case
and speculating as to the probable result.
opening of the defense.
Upon the reassembling ol the court, Mr. Spen
cer rose to open tbe case lor the defense.
He said he was about to tell the jury and the
world a story of an humble birth and a strug
gling life, and of the lile-timc of a libertine and
child robber sent into eternity by the avenging
bullet ot an outraged lather and husband. He
then criticised the District Attorney for calling
to his aid the most able counsel in the country,
and his action in doing so showed the absolute
weakness ot the case. He told the jury to be
ware lest they send into eternity before his time
a man who, in a moment ot irresponsible pas
sion, killed the destroyer ot his home and hap
piness. The paper upon which McFarland
wrote when standing at his desk would prove
that the prisoner was then in an insane condi
tion of mind.
Counsel then alluded to the cases of Cole and
Huntingdon, and concluded that men apparently
sane iu moments ot supreme excitement were
liable to yield to uncontrollable impulses lor
which they were responsible. At the time
Richardson was pistoled by McFarland he,
McFarland, was not responsible tor the action,
either in the eyes of God or bv the laws ot man.
The counsel then reviewed the whole history
of the prisoner, from boyhood to the present
time, alluding to all the incidents connected
with the marriage ami wedded lile of Mr. Rich •
ardson, and the entrance on the scene and cir-
cwrptances of the iutercouise between Mrs.
McFailand and Richardson, claiming that tbe
detense would be able to prove satisfactorily
that it was an adulterous connection. He stig
matized Mrs. Calhoun as a conspirator, panderer
and procuress, who commenced the work, ren
dering Mrs. McFarland dissatisfied with her
husband.
He refered to intercepted letters from Richard
son to Mrs. McFailand in which Richardson
ridicules Puritan principles, and tells this wo
man that he often, in Ihe night, thought of her,
and longed to clasp hiB darling in his arms.—
Was not this enough, asked the counsel, to make
any husband with tbe heart ot a man in bis
bosom, mad ? The counsel had a wife, whom
he loved, and whom he believed pure as the an
gels that mustered at the throne, and if he found
such a letter from any man to her, he would
meat that man and shoot him dead. (Applause)
At the close of Spencer’s opening, the court took
recess.
[A letter from Richardson to Mrs. McFarland,
etc., are received, tor which we refer such as
care to read, to the Police Gazette.-wEd ]
War with Spain.—The report which comes
from Cuba, that the Spanish Captain General
has do idea of emancipating the slaves there,
will rekindle with fierceness the dying embera
of the anfi-Slavery Society of Boston. Garri ,oa
and Wendell Phillips, who yelled themselves
black in the lace over the wots ol Sambo in the
South, nntil they foisted him into the United
States Senate, and whoae occupation was con
sequently gone, have now a fresh grievance to
howl over. If the report be true, let Mrs.
Beecher come forth from the ignoble seclusion
ot peddling oranges and give us a blast on this
Cuban “ slave oligarchy.” Here is a fine open
ing for another amendment, a Congressional
resolution of sympathy, or Fish’s instructing
onr Minister at Madrid to demand his passports
unless slavery in Cuba is “ crushed,” and the
blacks allowed to vote. We want an excuse to
thrash Spain, and where is there to be found
one which will meet with the support of the
“ Nation ” more warmly ?
Tub American continent will be joined to
the coast of China by a line across the Pacific
Ocean before long, bringing os as near to Can
ton as to any European city in the interchange
ot thought and news. This cable, with the
completion ot the lines now in construction in
tbe Indian Ocean, will complete the girding ol
the earth.
Lower California.
The following interesting article, connected
with the “ new empire,” has been transmitted to
ua for publication. We do so with pleasure, as
it embraces information of public interest, and
is worth the attention of our readers:
A NEW EMPIRE.
In a recent number, a brief sketch was given
of the geographical position and varied resources
of that vast Peninsula on our Western coast,
known as Lower California, and which, jutting
as it does, dowu the Pacific for full six hundred
miles, forms a natural barrier to those lertile
proviuces ot Northern Mexico, which are des
tined, ere long, to become, like Lower California
itself, integral parts ot the United Stales.
This Peninsula may now be said to be in its
transition state. For ages it has lain compara
tively idle in the sea; but by degrees the heave
ol modern progress bas turned it over almost
iuto the centre oi the populated globe, and it
must soon play fully as important a part as
Upper California, which lies above it, and more
s-o than tbe luxurious provinces ot the decaying
empire, to which it never more than nominally
belonged. In fact. Lower California bas merely
pretended to belting to Mexico, in order to pro
tect itsell from seizure by some more vigorous
power; while Mexico, on the other hand, has
gladly contented hersell with a mere nominal
allegiance (without subsidy or tribute,) in order
that Sonora, Sinaloa and her other ocean pro
vinces might not be domiuuercd by this formi
dable Peninsula iu like mauucr. The present
State and its dependent province have, there
fore, got along very well together down to the
present time, and as only au illusory authority is
exacted by Mexico, and no taxes are levied trom
Lower California, the natives ot the Peninsula
have always had a very h ippy and independent
time.
These days of simplicity, however, could not
be expected lo last forever. Heaven is not tor
man on earth. Nay, in the case ot this earthly
elysium, teeming as it is with gold and silver,
aud bordered by Its gull ol pearls, the westward
tread ot man forbade it. Seven hundred mil
lions out of the thousand millions ot the popu
lation of the whole earth, belong to empires
which push thi ir coasts to the shores of the
Pacific; coasts which have been comparatively
silent until the last twenty years, but which,
now that they have bceu astounded by the rail
way, and inflamed by the magnetic wire, begin
to stir ami wake to the destiny that lies before
them.
On the whole wide circle of that mighty sea,
which is destined to be the future residence of
human power, there is no piece of coast of such
geographical importance to the United States,
as Lower California. It is worth the British
possessions iu the Northwest Coast and Alaska,
ten times told, for it gives us certain possession
of every line ot trade, that either comes by the
Isthmus to the Indies, or passes downward from
our western railway routes, to the coats of South
America or Australia.
The acute statesmen of Mexico perceived
this problem more clearly than perhaps even
the Ministers ot the United States, and foresee
ing, too, that they could not expect to hold such
a fortress as Lower California constitutes tor the
command of the Pacific, they wisely prepared
to pass it into the more powerful and conserva
tive hands of the United States, in a manner
which would not be in the least humiliating to
themselves.
They made a grant, in 1864, covering the vast
area ot the forty-six thousand eight hundred
square miles iu Lower California, which was
subsequently transferred to the hands of the
Lower California Company, of this city; a cor
poration which had already possessed itself, un
der other grams, ot avast portion of the rich
provinces of Sonora and of the Peninsula. For
this transfer the grant ot 1864. the Lower Cali
fornia Company paid to Mexico a large sum ot
money when she was in her utmost need. The
trauster of was duly made at the Mexican Le
gation in Washington, in May, 1866, and was
formally ratified by President Juarez, in the fol
lowing August. A certificate of the convey
ance, which was drawn by the Hon Caleb
Cushing, and endorsed by the Mexican Ministtr
at Washington, was filed in the office ol cur
Secretary of State, to be the basis ot any future
action between the two Governments, lor the
purchase or joint protection of the Peninsula of
Lower California.
But it is not the object of the Lower Califor
nia Company that their charter shall be made
the basis ot a mere political operation. Their
object is to colonize the land duly and faithfu'ly,
under the contract with Mexico; and to that
end they are now preparing an extensive expe
dition, with the view of settling up two ot its
provinces, and establishing an ocean city. Al
ready, emigrants, allured b> the precious metals,
and other deposits of valuble materials of com
merce, are pouring into Lower Cal'fornia; and
this spontaneous movement makes it all the
more requisite that the Company should at once
apply its power and its means, to regulate this
raudom population under civil laws. The Com
pany is armed with powers equal to those of
the great East India Company, which founded
an empire in Hindoostan, and its Superintend
ent and Governor-General is the Hon. John A.
Logan, who will probably follow the colonizing
expedition, during the next recess ot Congress,
with a select party who will make it their sum
mer trip.
Some notion ot the power and resources of
the Lower California Company may be formed
by tbe names of a lew of its members and
directors.
The President of the Company, the Head
Quarters of which is at No. 35 William St. in
New "York, is Richard Schell, Esq.; and Wm,
R. Travers is the Treasurer; following which,
we find the names of General B. F. Butler, Au
gust Belmont, Wm. G. Fargo, Caleb Cushing
C. K. Garrison, Hon. John A. Griswold, John
Anderson, Robert P. Leese, Ben Holladay, Rob
ert M. McLane, Francis Morris, John McB.
Davidson, Leonard W. Jerome, 8. L. M. Barlow,
Edward S. Sanford, J. B. G. Isbarn and Marshall
O. Roberts.
Among the above names, are those of two ex-
Ministers to China aud Mexico (Mr. Cushing and
Mr McLane,) and the well known public views
of all the others, make it evident that the Com
pany is not merely a stock or political machine.
In fact it offers no stock for sale.
But the highest proof of the expanded views
and enlightened sagacity of the Company may
be found in the fact, that though tbe democratic
members largely prevail in number, the Company
as long as three years ago, aud while a large
portion of them were bitterly contesting the
principle ot the Fifteenth Amendment for the
United States, decided, that all races ot colonists,
and of whatever color, should have land on
equal terms, and have leave to try, without lim
itation or interruption, the problem of self- gov
ernment with the great races of the world. It
is clear, therefore, that this Company has the
_ icity to succeed ; and it will be an important
hour for the future destinies of tbe North-west
coast, when the colony which is now in prepar
ation, lands upon the peninsula coast.
This is au age of progress; but among the
greatest enterprises of the day, none is ot a more
majestic stamp than the colonization of Lower
California.
PEARLS—GULF OF CALIFORNIA.
The Revenue returns lor 1869 received by last
mail from City of Mexico, show, that the catch
of Pearls and Shell for the past year on the Gulf
Coast of the territory granted to the “ Lower
California Company” amounted to the large
sum ot $78,000.
This, of course, is the valuation of the Peat Is
given by the divers and speculators, and is con
sequently viry much below the actual value of
the catch.
A Pearl is sold frequently for $20, which re
sold at Panama at $200, brings $1000, in Paris;
and in many cases much greater profits have beeD
made on very fine gems.
Not over one half the catch is ever reported
to the Government, and the yield of the Gulf
for 1869 may be safely estimated at $300,000
in gold.
Origin of the Word Salary.—Spilling
salt was held to be an unlucky omen by the
Romans, and the superstition has descended to
ourselves. Leonardo da Vinci availed bimiell
of the tradition in his famous picture of the
“Lord’s Supper,” to indicate Judas Iscariot by
the salt cellar knocked over accidectally by his
arm.
Salt was used iu sacrifice by the Greeks and
Romans, and also by the Jews, and is still made
nse of in baptism by the Roman Catho’ic clergy.
It was an emblem ot pnrity, un i of the sancti
fying influence on <>thi rs o> •> holy life; hence
our Lord tells his disciple*, Y c are the Salt ot
the t arth.”
The salt being spilt after it was placed on the
head ot the victim was considered a bad omen,
being supposed to signify that the sacrifice was
not accepted; and Hence the superstition.
When we say of a shiftless fellow, that be
does not “ earn h : s salt,” we unconsciously
allude to an ancieDt custom among the Romans.
Among them a man was sail to be in possession
of a “ salary ” who bad his “ salariutn,” bis
allowance of salt money, or of salt wherewith
to savor the food by which he lived. Thus
salary comes from salt—and in this view ot tbe
word, how many there are who do not “ earn
their salt.”
Colonization of Liberia a Failure.
The colonization of the negro in Liberia ac
cording to the report of the Alrican Colonization
Society is a failure. Iostead of reforming all
the savage tribes in their vicinity and convert
ing them to Christianity and the ways of peace,
it is stud the darky colonists themselves are re
lapsing into barbarism.

After Cox and Eldridge were announced on

on the ground that their official positions did
not requite any such service. The Speaker,
however, ruled that when the House directed a
committee to carry out any of its orders, a mem

serve on that as on any other committee, and
neither were excused.

Chinese Lina.
The Chinese Code, it is said, was framed over

there is one which required that all persons

neither changing nor altering it. Another ex
empted all literary and religious institutions from
taxation, and eo ft is to this day; while another
provided that tbe owner of land shall cultivate

may well be ascribed that feature of the laws of
the Medes and Persians so often referred so as
being unchangeable by writers of every age.

A Sensation in the Food Market.—No
sensation has been created in the food market
during the present century, as that occasioned
by the introduction of the new staff of life (tor so
it may be justly called,) known as Sea Moss
Farine. It is difficult to tell the truth about
this extraordinary article of diet without being
suspected of exaggeration. Prepared from a
marine plant which grows spontaneously ou the
Irish coast, it is by all odds the cheapest species
of sustenance* ever offered to the masses; while
the dishes prepared from it can not be excelled,
either lor nutritious properties, epicurean flavor
or variety. The Ska MoSs Farine Co., 53
Park Place, who own the patent under which
it is manufactured, are doing a business in this
new edible equal to that of the most extensive
flouring establishments iu the country, and arc
now erecting new mills to supply the ever-
