A UUK AT SPEECH TO A GREAT CROWD, We have never seen In Columbus, even In tlmos of our greatest excitements, so large a crowd paektsd Into any hall as that which assembled .last night at the Opera Uoase to hear Hon, B. H. 11111. Thore was really hardly standing room even in tho gallory. A Great many ladles attended to hear the orator whose fame knows no bounds of soctlon or country. Mr. Hill was introduced In some felici tous and appropriate romarks by Major R. J. Moses, and was greeted with a storm of welcome and applause. Wo took no notes, and shall attempt no sketch of his speech. Suffice It to say, In tho brief space allowed us for this notice, that It was elo quent, noble, Impressive and effective. He divided It Into threo propositions—the moans by which the Republican party ob tained power; the uses to which it had put Its power; and the means by which it could be expelled from power. In his re view of the history of the rise and reign of tho Republican party, he stated many facts which showod the absolute necessity to tho liberties, peace, and prosperity for expelling It from power; and his state ment of the means by which this could be affix;tod was such as to Impress upon every Southern man tho gravity of the situation and to arouse them to activity and com pact union among themselves, to accom plish It. * Mr. Hill triumphantly vindicated the action of the Democratic House of Repre sentatives, and showed wheroln It had been of lnealcuable value to the country. Ho deeply Impressed upon the minds of his hearers tho neocsslty of maintaining a Democratic majority In the House—a ma jority of Democrats recognizing their nffilnlty with the party, not of doubtful political associations or divided party ob ligations. The portions of tho speech In which Mr. Hill justified his repy to Blaine and his defence of the South against columnies which, unanswered, would have turniehed her fair name and dimmed even the glory of the valor of her sons, elicited tho heart iest applauso and approval of his audi dtenee. Ho was greoted with round after round of approval whon he announced that he could never be silent when South ern honor and manhood were thus as sailed—that he felt, when Blaine made his libellious speech, that “the occasion for which ho was born had come." But we cannot attempt an account of the speech at this time. Suffice It to say that Mr. Hill spoke for about two hours to an audience whose Interest never for a moment llaggod, who would willingly have hoard him all night, and whose hearty sympathies ho carried with him from beginning to end. Man. 11. U. Hill In UolumbiiN. Yesterday morning: Hon. B. H. Hill ar rived from Atlanta, and took rooms at tho Rankin House. During tho day his room was filled with visitors, those that knew him, and thoae thatjdeslrod to meet him. Mr. Hill talked freely upon tho affairs of the country, and though, the outlook cheerful and hopoful for the cause of De mocracy'. A number of gentlemen de sired to engage him upon the Senatorial question, but ho would go no further than express a wish to serve Georgia as hor Senator. He claimed, however, that If Georgia desired his services, he should be judgo of where he could best serve her. Ho thought the Senate the debating ground, and that there lie would like to be. Mr. Hill Is certainly a great man. His eyes beam with Intelligence, and look like a head light to an engine, so bright do they sparkle in conversation. He wil soon be in Georgia, what Stephens and Toombs were in their prostine glory. A sensible Colored Preacher. There was an lmmorsion at Bull Creek Church Sunday, among the colored peo ple, Throe men and eight women wore baptized. The Rev. Mr. Barks, colored, performed tho eeromony. He delivered a sensible sermon, in whloh ho exhorted his people to act as tho white people of Colum bus. Such excellent advioe should bo heeded by our colored friends, as it cannot but result to tholr decided advantage, and in building up tho Interests of the country and the common prosperity of all. Parks entertains a sensible view of the relation ship which should exist between the races, and he ought to be encouraged in the ex pression of such a laudable sentiment. If the colored ministers would exert their In fluence to establish a kindly and harmo nious relationship between the races, there would be none of that bickering and un fortunate prejudice which must necessa rily exist where the minds of a credulous raco are abused and imposed upon by those who are anxious to create dissen sion between tho races for political pur poses. Old Papers. In this tho Centennial year,'.the ceil is or oentennial things. We have in our possession a paper datod 1769, which we received from our fellow-citizen, Mr. C. E Johnston. It is a “pass" given by the officers of the English Government to his great-grandfather. From [its [perusal wo see that white people in those days had to have a pass to go about, just as our ne groes were required to have. Below we give a copy of it It is a curiosity, and is probably the oldest paper In the United States. It ought to bo at tho Centennial: Chester County, to wit. To whom these Presents may Concern. Whereas, David Johnson and Lancelot Johnson, the bearers hereof, have apply’d to me, the subscriber, one of his Majesty’s Justices of the Peace for the County afore said, for a Let Pass for them to travel into some part of his said Majesty’s Col ony of North Carolina. Ido therefore desire that all persons whatsoever may permit and suffer them, tho said David Johnson and Lancelot Johnson, to pass and re-pass about their lawful vocations (so long as they shall behave themselves honestly and well,) without any Molestation or Disturbance whatsoever.

IMABION ISIlm NEW*. Quiet Rktbkat, Ga., October 20,1876. Dear Times : While passing a shop yes terday I heard a big African “gentleman" say; “Dls Is a big week for Buena Vista. It’s got big court, big crowd, big speak ing, big speoch from dat “Hell Gate mam," big speech from Harris; and good Lordy man, that funniest man Tug-Tug-well, dat man what knows so much ’bout pea oocks." "And big lying too," said anoth er, of fellow-feeling, amid the haw-haw ing of a dozen others standing near. Tho llrat negro was correct, according to his idoa of “bigness," and for aught I know' the last one too, for It is said there wore some differences In swearing, "amounting to reversion,” on a few "pints,” but I do not know such to be true. Superior, or “big Court,” with the ne groes Is a big thing. It brings togethor a number of colored men and women who spend the time in talking and hearing about their “treatment.” It collects a number of white men whoso little deslros must bo gratified and whose horses must bo noticed, for whloh the loafing crowd believe each one so eminently lit, and of great financial value. Court week brings to some of them more money than several others of farm work, and it is to them big in accumulation and pleasure. There is another class who have become great lovers of “legal loro” and forensic oratory. They are regular attendants at court, and being great imitators, many of them learn from the trials of others, especially criminals, how to evade punishment for wickedness, and go away to do likewise in defiance of law or right. It would boa blessing if men, both white | and col ored, who have no business at court, could be induced to stay at home and make business. But—how free we are. There was not so large attendance at court as usual, nor was there as much business—only two or three new cases of small |amounts on the civil docket, and unfinished business, in which there was moro swearing and “lawyer speaking” than money. Tho colored “gont,” who heard so many “big speeches” was fortu nate. I did not hear them. There were, however, somo vory forcible Impressions made upon my mind; one of which Is, that the people had often better pray for many things, rather than boar tho expense of a trial, and If you know of two or more par ties claiming a set of “gin gearing,” advise the authorities to pay one party for them, and give them to the other. It would be eeonamy to do so. Many friends of Hon. M. H. Blandford, were greatly concerned for his welfare on Tuosday evening in consequence of his sudden fall in the court-room, the effect of vertigo, produced by tho heated aanos pherooftho court-room surcharged with respiratod oxygen gas. Every seat was filled with pleasure and gratitude, when it was announced there was no such dan ger as was feared. Ho has many friends here and Is worthy of them all. This Is another example, in evidence, why tho ventillation of the court-rooms, whon so many lungs are throwing off poison breath. The community was shocked by the sudden arrival of the romains of Mr. Woodvllle Wiggins from Hampton for interment In Buena Vi6ta. His untimely death Is regretted by many friends and acquaintances, and his heart stricken companion and children. Mr. Hilliard, that negro’s “Hell Gate man,” met his appointment and addressed an audience of white and colored citizens, his explosion was not so successful as the “Hell Gate” “tearup.” Much of his time was employed in justifying himself and in denunciation of “rings,” “cliques” and “caucusos” or “conventions,” and his ef fort was as creditable as It could have been, under the circumstances. It Is difli oult for one man, to be cheerful, animated aud entertaining for a house full of peo ple, who will not be either,lf they can help it. No one showed any Interest but him, no hearts beat responsive to Independent candidacy and no smiling met him as a sympathetic greeting of honored confi dence. He could not attack Democratic princi ples, because ho claimed to bo an indepen dent, Tilden, Democrat; nor could he de nounce the corruption of either party, without offending classes of voters from which he was desiring support. He steer ed adroitly between Scy 11a on the one hand, and Charybdis on the other. His effort to prove Mr. Harris tho creature of a “ring, clique or caucus,” and ridiculing the number of ballottings, appears to me as foreign from his true policy, and re coiled unfavorably for him. It showed that the “dallyings,” "leadings” or "com pliments,” of and for other aspirants for Congress wero merely tricks, and that Mr. Harris had enough delegates, instructed by tho people, to control tho convention, and that It was Mr. Harris and the choice of the people against whom the "ring, clique or caucus,” if any such thing there was in the convention, ringed, cliqued and caucused. He regarded it as rather cowardly or fearful in Mr. Harris in not meeting him to discuss publio issues, but failed to state too issues. His disaffection as a Demo crat, and his shyness, if a Radical, would neither admit of investigation nor denun ciation by him. If he is truly a Democrat, there wore no issues between him and Mr. Harris; If he is a Radical “slide,” then he was fearful of issues. There being, as Democrats, no issues between Mr. Hil liard and Mr. Harris, except the right of candidacy, Mr. Harris was too modest, and too “fair in his play,” to discuss a point which every American has—the right to run for an office, if he wants to, and will. Mr. Harris will grant that with out discussion. Mr. Hilliard's adhesion to dead party lines, rose up from the ruins of dead is sues, like a hideous monster, approaching cautiously, with dangerous stealth an un suspecting victim, and his illustration of the deaf man and his squirrel, will, 1 think, prove In November, not only “dan gerous,” but that “the woods are too full" of the “betting” animals for his pleasure. Mr. Harris met his appointment too, on Thursday, and completely demolished the structure, which had been framed by Mr. Hilliard, of “rings,” cliques,” and caucus timber, and weatherboard wiyi cowardice or fear. The huge "combinations against the people” were broken down by Mr. Harris, after which, Mr. Tuggle, the ne groes’ "firmest man,” applied himself to scattering the broken fragments to the fore winds, am Id the cheers and laughter of the people. Mr. Harris conveyed, to the people, much information relative to the finances of the country, and doubtless did much to heal the minor, local differ ences recently effected in the county, and to unite the host in comparatively solid phalanx In November, as the people come up from “the woods" In all directions. Each of the candidates had some advan tage of the other. Mr. Hilliard had a • beautifully clear day and a larger audi ence, but few colored persons, to whom he proved himself no Insignificant man. Mr. Harris had a very rainy day, less people, but more colored voters to hear him, and from what some of them said to me, proved himself the man for them. Some of them, while (hey laughed at Mr. Tuggle, claim that Mr. Harris was more equitably disposed toward them than he was. Harris men can, if they will, do much more now than ten days ago, and I advlso them to "work while It Is day,” Cupid has been sharp shooting receutly vigilantly In “those parts,” and has pierced many hearts. Among the victims of his unerring darts Is Miss Bottle Rog ors, daughter of Mr. T. L. Rogers, of Bu ena Vista, and a Mr. Persons, who sur prised the people last night by their unex pected appearance at Hymen’s altar, over whose sacred surfaco they sprinkled their vows of life-long love, with the censor of heavenly benediction. I learn the last twenty-four hours of rain will date the tearful entranco of flvo other couples into conjugal life In this county, one father be stowing two daughters and receiving two sons In honor of the heavenly showers. A lengthy greeting, but adieu. Idiom. Doctor E. J. Kirkscey, General Agent Pied mont and Arlington Life, for State of Kentucky: It affords me much pleasure to ack nowledge the prompt and full payment of $5,000, on the life of my deceased husband by your Company, through you as Its General Agent. Your constant, active service, laboring honestly, faithfully and earnestly to build up the Piedmont and Arlington Life, (which Is now proudly looked upon as a Life Institution of stabil ity, safe, sound and solvent In every re spect) deserves to be richly crowned with financial success through life. 'For your kindness for me and mine, I return my sincere thanks, hoping that a bountiful providence will bless you and yours. I am very respectfully, Martha C. Cromwell. Morgan field, Union County, Ken tucky, October 18, 1876. nurglary. A burglar or two took advantage of the rain and darkness of Sunday night to cover their villainy, and began their dep redations at the residence of Mr. John B. Wright. They entered tho house through the door, and cut open a trunk containing clothing, Ac. In cutting open the trunk the burglar cut himself-probably his hand—for there was blood on the floor near the trunk and leading to the door. They also took a shawl and a (set of car penter’s tools. Next morning the trunk was found on the river bank and the con tents gono. They left a huge hickory stick, by which we hope they will be Iden tified. Later in tho night the same party at tempted to break into a store In Womack ville, but It was nearly day, and passers by frightened them off. Thoso who saw tho man there, say ho was white and had around him a shawl. A shawl was stolen from Mr. Wright. Wo hope the Police may succeed in bringing tho thieves to justice.

Sep. 10-tf LOVE AFFAIKM. ! this amours of famous pbople— FRANKLIN, SOOTT, GOETHE, IRVING, SOUTHEY AND OTHERS. It is said that one of Andy Johnson's sons denies that his father was ever sub jected to any disappointment of the af fections. If this bo tho case, then Mr Johnson's history Is very different from that of most of men—and it may be added, women also. Asa disappointed lover, in deed, he would have stood In very good company, and chief among his associates would bo the "Father of His Country," and the man who brought down tho light ning. It is well known that the former went to New York In 1752, and was enter tained by Beverly Robinson—whose wife’s sister. Miss Phllllpse, was both a beauty and an heiress. The Phlllipse mansion stands in the midst of Yonkers, and is In the City Hall. Tho estate was one of the finest on the banks of the Hudson, and even at that early day had a great value. It is said on good authority that Miss Phlllipse made such an Impression on the young Virginian, who was then hardly of age, that he offered her his heart and hand. But the belie of New York had nodesire to bo buried in a Virginia plantation, and she therefore declined. She afterwards mar ried Captain Morris, of the British army, who built, on her territory, the grand Morris mansion, which afterward became tho residence of madamo Jurnel. It Is now ocupled by Nelson Chase, who holds the Madame’s estate. Washington re turned to Virginia, and after his campaign under Braddock, married the opulent young widow, Martha Dabridgo. He thus became tho richest man on the continent, and Mrs. Morris lived to see him the most distinguished. He and Beverly Robinson came into indirect contact twenty-five years afterward—for it was at the Robin son house that Arnold held his last confer ence with Andre. FRANKLIN. Benjamin Franklin, when a poor printer in Philadelphia, courted a girl and ap peared to be getting on very nicely, when the latter’s friends objected to the match. The printing trade was not sufficiently lucrative to suit tholr views; and as the girl had a chance to marry a thrifty me chanic, she concluded not to throw herself away on Benjamin Franklin. The printer stood the bereavement with great nerve, and subsequently married a Miss Blanche, with whom he lived very happily. IRVING. Irving, while a penniless lawyer, was deeply in love with Matilda Hoffman, the daughter of Judgo Hoffman, in whoso office he had been studying. She died ear ly of consumption, and left him plighted as well as braved. He never recovered from the shock; and in his private drawer, after his death, was found her miniature, and locks of her hair, lie said of her to a friend: "She died in the beauty of youth, and to me sho will always be young and beauti ful.” It is to bo remembered, however, that upon this bereavement lingered the au thor’s literary career. Had Matilda Hoff man lived and become his wifo, would he have gone to Europe and become a distin guished author? Would he have spent seventeen years abroad including two years in Spain and in Alhambra? Certain ly not. He would, on the other hand, have been an inferior lawyer. While as a writer he never could have attained wealth, though he might have reached fame. Irving’s disappointment was necessary to his success; and no doubt he saw it af terwards in this light. There is no ground to suppose that ho ever afterward con templated matrimony. WALTER SCOTT. His early disappointment was very bit ter; and, although its full detail cannot be given, it may be said that,when he was a poor young barrister, living still under the parental roof at Edinburgh, he fell in love with a maiden whose rank was above his own, and whom ho could not hope to win. Still ho hoped against hope. His father heard or the affair, and with a sober sense of mature years he informed the lady’s friends of Walter's weakness, and they at once removed the girl from the city. Scott nover knew the cause of this change till years afterward; but as tho income of his profession for five years averaged on £IOO a year, he could not expect to encounter the expense of a domestic establishment. The girl mar ried soon afterward, and one of Scott’s friends was much alarmed for fear of the consequences. Ho wrote as follows: “This is bad news for our romantic friend, and a shudder at tho violence of his most Irritable and ungovernable mind. ‘lt Is said that men have diet! and worms have eaten them, but not for love. I sincerely hope it may be verified on this occasion." Scott did nothing worse than pen a stan zas, which are worth reading In this con nection’ They arc addressed to the Vio let, and close t hus: “Though fair her gema of azure hue. Beneath the dewdrop’B weight reclining, I’ve seen an eye of lovelier blue, More Bweet through watery lustre shining. “The summer sun that dew shall dry, Ere yet that sun be passed its merrow; Nor longer in my false love’s eye Remained the tear of parting sorrow.” Before six months had expired, this dis appointed lover was deeply enamored of another girl, whom he met with on an ex cursion in the north of England. She was of French birth, and is described as very fascinating. One of his friends said: “Scott was fairly beside himself about Miss Carpenter. We toasted her twenty times over, he raving about her until it was one in the morning.” The next Christmas they were married. It may be added that the match was not felicit ous on the part of the husband—for al though their married life was harmo nious, the wife was deficient in that mental strength which such union re qured. Scott never outlived the influence exercised on him by his first love, and his latter years he wept at the mention of her name and the memory of old associations. He made the remark to a young clergy man thirty years after his marriage that “scarce one person out of twenty marries his first love, and scarce one out of a hun dred of the remainder has eauso to rejoice at having done so. What we love in those early days is rather a fanciful creation of our own than reality. We build statutes of snow, and weep when they melt.” lilack Silk and Cashmeres.
