THE M’PHERSON PAGEANT—BELKNAP’S ODIOUS PRESENCE—DESPERATION AND ALARM OF OFFICE-HOLDERS —ANOTHER ASSESSMENT—THE SOUTH CAROLINA OUTRAGE, AC. From our regular correspondent.] Washington, Oct. 20, ISfG. The streets to-day are full of mu sic and of civic and military proces sions. It is the occasion of the uu veiling of Gen. McPherson’s statue in that portion of the city which has formerly been known as Scott’s Square, but which will hereafter be called McPherson’s Square. A more perfect day never favored memorial pageantry, and, besides the large vis iting delegation of the army of the Tennessee, the city has turned out en masse; the Government Depart ments and offices'having been closed at noon. I have just seen Gen. Sher man, with his best soldier clothes on, marching behind a division of ar tillery, with rheumatic military pre cision, while in ths s.-.me column, and only a few steps behind him, strode the portly form of General Belknap, ex-Secretary of War, whose trial in the Criminal Court will com mence here in about two weeks. It is said tbat some of those who were in the procession were greatly scan dalized that Gen. Belknap should be there too, but the ex-Secretary was the best dressed, fattest, rosiest man among them. Gen. Logan, who was the orator of tho occasion, and who looks war-worn and battle banged since tho disastrous political campaign in the West, rode in a car riage. Ordinarily the procession would have marched up Pensylvania Avenue, but that historic thorough fare looks as though it had under gone a Hell Gate explosion. The rotten pavement placed there by the ring, a few years ago, has been torn up, and they are now re-paving the street in a more durable manner. This is a national and patriotic work, for it is along this avenue that Presi dent Tilden will go to his inaugura tion. Thennxietyin relation to politi cal matters has been greatly increas ed, I had almost said aggravated, since the result and logic of the Oc tober elections have become known. Before these elections, the govern ment clerks spoke of the result in that confident, swaggering way that is characteristic of those who have enjoyed immunity. Now, half dazed, frantic, or despairing, they are brought face to face with what their big chief Gen. Butler has called the “extremely probable election of Gov ernor Tilden.” Yesterday I met a clerk with whom lam on very friend ly terms and banteringly told him that Governor Tilden was sure of election. He became intensely ex cited, and said: “Well, he may be, he may be, but, if be should be, he will never be allowed to take his seat; the people of the North will never allow him. I myself, will shoulder a musket first.” I men tion this as an illustration of the madness with which Blaine, Bout- and Morton have inoculated their followers. There has been anew assessment of all government employees order ed. The hundreds of thousands spent upon the October States were not enough to purchase them, and now, since Mr. Chandler has not been able to buy a State, he will at tempt the folly of the purchase of a nation. It is the desperation of a gambler who feels that he is playing a losing game. I was told to-day by a clerk whose salary is $1,600, that he had been assessed $35. The clerks with a salary of $1,200 are re-, quired to pay $25. The salaries range from S9OO to $5,000, and sup posing $25 to be the average assess ment, the campaign fund that 10*,000 office holders would yield, would be $2,500,000. Most of this money has doubtless been spent in Colorado, Ohio,- Indiana, and West Virginia. Hence the necessity for an extra as sessment, which the poor clerks will submit to with a desperate cheerful ness, which those only who fear the loss of office can feel. Among the many significant polit ical straws in the air at present, is an effort on the part of Mr. Morrill, Secretary of the Treasury, to secure his return to the Senate. Mr. M., it is thought, has no longer hope of re taining a cabinet position, and hence desires to get back into his easy old shoes, now worn by Mr. Blaine, who, it will be remembered, was elected to fill an unexpired term. One of the surprises of the future may be the elimination of Mr. Blaine from national politics, and his consign- meat to a bourne where ho can con dole with widow Butler. Tho armed effort of the Republican party to perpetuate Its power in South Carol na has created a pro found sensation here, outside of offi cial circles. Tills army has been sent ostensibly to ensure a fair vote, but Gov. Chamberlain, who demand ed troops, expects to prolit by their presence, for lie is a candidate for re-election. Patterson tho carpet bag Senator who seconded Chamber lains request, caunot be returned to the Senate if his party loses its hold the State. Attorney General Taft, who drew up tho proclamation, has himself taken an active part in this canvass and a personal and politcul interest in the result. The United States District Attorney, who will superintend the distribution and op eration of troops, is a partizan who will lose his place if Hayes is not elected. The army in South Caroli na caunot be regarded as a mere minister of law. The blacks know it has been sent there by their Republi can allies in Washington, and the whites know it has been sent to as sist in their defeat. It will make ar rests for “intimidation” by the Dem ocrats, who, the Republicans say, are in a minority of 40,000! "Intimida tion-” is au offenco which cannot bo di&ned, but which places every man at the mercy of his unprincipled en emy, since when a person says he has been intimidated iu reference to his vote, ho cannot be proved a pur jurer without knowing the state of his mind and liver, and how much it takes to frighten him. But it is sig nificant of the state of affairs in South Carolinu that tho lirst arrests that will be made are those of the intim idators and assassins at Cainhoy. C. A. S. l'roltable Complexion ol tin* .\ext I ai led Mate* Senate. New York Herld.| The terms of twenty-five United States Senators expire on the 4th of March, 1877. They are Messrs. Goldthwaite of Alabama, Clayton of Arkansas, Saulsbury of Delaware, Norwood of Georgia, Logan of Illi nois, Wright of lowa, Harvey of KaDsns, Stevenson of Kentucky, Morrill (or rather Blainej of Maine, Boutwell of Massachusetts, Ferry of Michigan, Wiudom of Minnesota, Alcorn of Mississippi, Hitchcock of Nebraska,Cragin of New Hampshire, Frelinghuysen of New Jersey, Han som of North Curolina, Kelly of Or egon, Anthony of Rhode Island, Rob ertson of South Carolina, Cooper of Tennessee, Hamilton of Texas, John ston of Virginia, Davis of West Vir ginia, and Howe of Wisconsin. Of these nine are Democrats, who will, without doubt, be succeeded by Democrats. Clayton, West, Alcorn and Robertson, Republicans, will al most certainly be replaced by Demo crats; the vacancy now existing in Louisiana will be filled by a Demo crat; and Hamilton, of Texas, Inde pendent. has a Democratic successor. As the Sennte now stands—l 2 Repub licans, 29 Democrats, and 2 Inde pendents—the changes above noted would, if no others were made, leave it very nearly balanced : 38 Republi cans, 35 Democrats, and 1 Independ ent. But the following States also elect new Senators this winter: Illinois, lowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigau, Minnesota, Nebraska. New Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Wisconsin. Of these New Jersey, Wisconsin, and perhaps Mich igan, are among the doubtful ones. If two of these should send Demo crats the Senate would stand : 36 Re publicans, 37 Democrats, and 1 Inde pendent. It will be seen, therefore, that it is by no means impossible that the next Senate shall havo a small Democratic majority. If the Republican mana gers continue to make arbitrary ar rests in the South they will probably so greatly alarm the North as tolling even the Senate into Democratic hands. Pennsylvania tor Tilden. There has not been a recent in stance of disorder in South Carolina that was not directly or indirectly of his creation, and the submission of the national authorities to the use of the army to give courage to the igno rant blacks of the coast cotton and rice fields, to indulge iu any form of violence,is a monstrous crime against the peace of the nation and the maj esty of its laws. It is so understood by intelligent men of all parties in the North, and it must recoil with fearful effect ufion the Republicans in the contest. Indiana made Penn sylvania a debatable field between Hayes and Tilden, but Grant, Came ron aad Patterson, have made it an almost certain Tilden State. As sure ly as the South Carolina bayonet pol icy is persisted in by the Administra tion to coerce elections, just as sure ly will Pennsylvania recoil and pro test in thunder tones by a Tilden ma jority in November. If that is what Grant and Cameron want, they are fining their work well.— Philadelphia Times. We have not had a free Presi dential election since 1860, at which time Abraham Lincoln received 1,- 866.452 votes out of a total of 4,680,193 —the foolish division of the Democ racy into factions serving to elect him. In the general elections of 1864 and 1868 the Republicans did not ob tain the votes of more than a portion of the States. The secession States did not participate in 1864, and Vir ginia, Texas, and Mississippi were not allowed to exercise their right of choice in 1868. In 1872 all the States were nominally entitled to vote, but the returns from North Carolina were manipulated in such a fraudu lent manner as to reverss the verdict undoubtedly given by its citizens, while in Louisiana Kellogg’s corrupt Board of Registration succeeded in throwing out a sufficient number of votes to enable its carpet-bag Gov ernor to forward returns to Washing ton electing the Grant ticket. The Republican Administration, in its unwarranted and unconstitutional interference in the affairs of South Carolina, has evinced its determina tion not to have a free election in 1876. —Cincinnati Enquirer. COLUMBUS, GA., THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 20, 1876. II ADA. THE THICKS AND CHANGES, THE TRAPS AND COMBINATIONS OF BABA, AT NIBLO’S GARDEN, From the New York Buu.] Of the sixty-five thousand people who have witnessed tho spectacular “Baba” at Niblo’s during the past month, probably not sixty-five have the faintest conception of tho modus operuudi beneath the stage and far up iu the flies, where Ben Sherwood and iiis busy men work like double breasted beavers from 8 toll every night. The stage itself is a marvel, pierced with holes and slashed by deep channeled cuts, through which appear the festive fairy and the won drous transformation, uud by which disappear tho boneless imp and igno ble gnome. There are two “star traps,” so called, because the leather hinged leaves which open upward when pressed by the head of the as cending sprite are cut in the form of a star. Underneath the trap consists simply of a frame in which is set n wooden box. On this, at the stroke of a bell, the fairy steps. At the se cond stroke a weight of 350 pounds is set free, and by its fall shoots the 150 pounds of flesh and blood up through the star, which yields road ily to tho easiest pressure. Roars of laughter iuvariably follow the dis appearance of the harlequin or spirit down the trap, but in reality it’s a very simple procedure. The actor presses his weight on two hinged boards, and dropping through falls about ten inches on a mattress laid on a high frame to receive him. It will be readily seen that although this is simple, as indeed almost, all stage appliances are, it needs also be exact and firm, for tho loast derange ment would not only upset all show, but peril the life of the performer. In ono of the most exquisite of "Baba’s” scenes beautiful women rise slowly from the earth, ami on revolving pedestals of gold and sil ver, support magnificent baskets of fruit and flowers. These traps con sist of slender columns, on the ped estals of which the girls stand. At tiie bell the columns are pushed up by relioved weights, and as the tops reach the stag# floor they are capped by the baskets, which apparently rest on the fair hands of the girls. But the big trap is a wonder. It weighs twenty-two tons, and 5,000 feet of lumber were used iu making it. It is used iu the grand transfor mation scene, and carries up the va ried magnificence of that brilliant spectacle. There are needed in Us manipulation two big shafts, two wheels, and a great cog-windlass, re quiring the skill and strengt h of ten trained carpenters, and the personal supervision of Ben Sherwood besides. It is a wonderful piece of mechan ism, each partlltted and joined with out tiie use of a nail or a screw. Stout wooden pins keep the joints in place, and a few iron clamps are also need ed, but it can be taken apart and packed for shipment or storage as easily as a tob castle. The manage ment very justly prides itself on the ?reat “Ship Scene,” as it is called. t will be remembered thatßabaaud his brother come sailing along on a silver sea, in a well-rigged ship, the entrance to which is invariably hail ed with applause. Presently the front falls away, tbe sails disappear, the ship dissolves, and in its place is a scries of steps leading up to a ter raced garden soeno of surpassing beauty, brilliant with gas and gay with company. It looks rather dif ferent on inspection in the cold gray of the afternoon. A series of boxes piled on each oth er, with two levers by which the up per can be turned over, forming the steps. The sails are hoisted to tho flies, the ship itself—painted wood and canvass—falls flat on tho stage, tho boxes pulled over by ropes in the flies from the steps, and the handi work, quick steps ef carpenters and artists supply the brilliance and the pageant. Mr. Sherwood needs the intelligent service of thirty-eight car penters to conduct this one scene properly and successfully to theiin ish. Hundreds of ropes, pullies, bands and wheels make the galleries above look like the deck of a man-of war. How the men learn to distin guish this from that, and the other from which, is a mystery explainable only on the theory ttiata trade is a trade. Manager Arnold has his little army of 365 people on duty nearly all day drilling, rehearsing and prepar ing; but the three wings of the army have very different duties to perform. Those controlled by business man ager Mack are literally men of business. Those on the stage, un der the eye of Mr. Arnold and De- Vere, his deputy, have the glare and glitter of the lights, the excitement of the scene and the applause of the audience to cheer them on. Bui Ben son Sherwood and his men of bone and muscle dive down into the depths of the subcellar, where the calcium pipes are ranged: the vast metro re cords the flight of gas; great wheels lit cog to cog; long shafts hold im mense bands; strong chains support tremendous weights; intricate me chanisms do most delicate duty, and tricks made simple are worked out below, to the delight df tho mystified above. And far up, too, in the attic regions, where the great carpenter shop with from forty to fifty men are at work, and the paint room with its artists, and the tailor shop with its wardrobe, are men of genius and ex perience, pulling, hauling, and delft ly combining skill and strength for the pleasure of the people in. the House and the protection of those on the stage. “Baba” is a type of the grand spec tacle for which our people manifest extraordinary partiality. It cost $50,- 000 to mount it and start it. Already over 65,000 people have seen it, and the prospects indicate a long and prosperous run for it. Enterprise rarely fails in the lino of popular en tainment. We are all critics, more or less, and yet we believe it would puzzle 999 in every thousand specta tors at Niblo’s to tell how it is the gnome goes down. The problem looks hard ; in fact, it is simple and trite iu solution. It took a cunning head to design all these tricks and traps and changes, and it required the pluck of the manager, and the cash of the capitalist to reduce theo ry to practice; but there it is, and al together it forms one of the choicest combinations of the beautiful ever produced,even in that home of theat rical beauty.

EVERYTHING PLEABANT AND SUCCESS AS SURED. From tho Montgomery Advertiser, Q3th.) Yesterday was emphatically a “fair” day. Not u cloud was iu the sky, and the weather throughout was us delightful as could be wished. The crowd on tho streets, though not very great, was enough to show that a deep interest is felt in the State Graugo Fair, ana that before it closes the attendaaco will be larger than at any bimilar uffuir since ISOO. At 9 o’clock the gates opened to the beuuliful grounds. Visitors at once come need to enter,and quite a respect able crowd passed through during tile day. Insido all was animation. Every stall for stock was taken, and quite a number had to bo provided torj outside. The books were inac cessible in oousequouce of the rush of entries, and therefore it is impos sible to preseut a complete list, as was intended. Under a large shed, the lirst thing to attract attention was tho magnifi cent plow display by Mr. Brinley, of Louisville. lie lormerly resided iu Montgomery, and is remembered with pleasure by our citizens who knew him in the olden time, and who rejoice at his popularity aud prosper ity us a manufacturer. Even tho best of farmers would be astonished ut tho infinite variety of plows Mr. Briidey manufactures, and the ease with wnich they are handled and tho uses they can be put to. His cultiva tors aud harrows are perfect, and save an immense amount of labor. Mr. O’Neil, of Alabama, also has quite a creditable display of homo made plows of his own patent, us well as cultivators for coni and cotton. Ho is a citizen of Bullock county, and de serves great praise for the interest ho takes in improving tho method of farming and utilizing and preserving the soil. Here also is to be found a rack fill ed with the wonderful Granger Hoe, of Capt. W. R. Noble of our city, which has taken the premiums wher ever exhibited. It is a mechanical wonder and works like a charm. Messrs. N. M. Morris &Cos., exhibit ed one of their famous Cotton Plan ters. Here also are the Brown Cotton Gins, Stith’s Gin Powers, Alabama Cotton Ties, Cotton Baskets for pick ling purposes, Lover Powers, bales of beautiful cotton, in fact everything iu tho remotest degree connected with the raising and making of tho great staple, is presented to view at one glance. Passing on to the Stock Depart ment it is found that horses for every premium offered are on the grounds. Mr. Ed Geers, of Columbia, Tennes see; Messrs. Beebe & Henshaw, of Montgomery; Mr. Broderick, of St. Louis; Mr. Bland, of Nashville ; Ma jor Roberson, of Lowndes; D. C. Arm strong, of Loaehapoka; Mr. Ross, of Opelika; Mr. Shawhan, of Mobile; Mr. Fuller, of Nashville; Mr. Pink Sayre, of Montgomery; Mr. J, H. Leigh, of Montgomery, and Major R. B. Snodgrass, of Montgomery, will be competitors for premiums. Some of them have Alabama raised stock, and it is very gratifying to look upon their stock and think what Alabam ians can do if they will only make up their minds to undertake it. Mr. J. W. Powell, and others whoso names wo did not learn, had splondid jacks on hand, while tho array of Alabama raised mules was good to look upon. Maj. Brown and Capt. Gibson, both of Tennessee, had herds of the most beautiful cattle (bulls, cows and heif ers) ever seen in Alabama. Major Brown sends his famous Torn Sawyer bull, and Captain Gibson sends his celebrated cow Cambridge Rose, and bull Earl of Weldon, not one of which wo suppose could be bought for a SI,OOO bill. Mr. Walker Scott, of Co lumbia, Term., has several of his splendid short horns. Visitors to the Fair will be repaid if they only see these splondid spec imens and talk with the gentlemanly owners of them. Their views are very encouraging to those who want to make Alabama what she ought to bo-a great stock country. Mr. M. C. Campbell, of Spring Hill, Tennessee, has some of the handsomest Berkshire hogs ever seen anywhere. They make one’s mouth water to look at them. Major Brown exhibits Southdown sheep, the very perfection of tiie breed, while Capt. Gibson’s herd of Cotswold would attract attention anywhere in the world. He has in his collect ion, one im ported buck, “England’s Glory,” from which 19-1-2 pounds of wool was sheared last May. He weighs about 450 pounds, lie also has one ewe which furnishes 16-1-2 pounds of wool at one shearing. Mr. W. T. Taylor, of Montgomery, has on exhibition a beautiful herd of Devon cattle, Alabama raised; Mr. L. Meyer, two Alabama heifers, Devon and Dur ham; Mr. J. B. Calloway exhibits an Al derney bull, a pen of sheep, including a Cotswold buck and ewe and Chester white hogs, all Alabama raised; Mr T. J. Hailes exhibits a fine Alabama Ayeshire bull; Mr. J. W. Hughes, a pair of splendid sheep; Mr. Jake Fable exhibits a beautiful bull, Alabama raised. The display of chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese was exceedingly fine. Tho Machinery Hall was not filled, many of the articles entered not yet be ing in place. Mr. A. A. Janney had up one of his own make of engines undone of his superior cotton presses. Tho en gine for running the machinery is also of his own make. There is a portable en gine from Fremont, Ohio, whose make we do not know. Allison Brothers, of Memphis, exhibit a great novelty in tiie shape of a cotton cleaner. Messrs. Bren nan & Cos., of Louisville, represented by Mr. B. L. Wyman, exhibit corn sheller and straw ciitter of great merit. The Pratt Gin Company exhibit in running order one of their cotton world-renowned gins. Let it be distinctly understood that this is only a general and cursory mention of articles and stock seen. Of course many things haye been omitted, but reparation will be made before the fair closes. We will try to publish each day the awards by the different examining committees. Reported Assassination. London, Oct. 25.—A dispatch from Paris to Reuter’s Telegram Company says intelligence has been received here that the Turkish Consul and his wife at Tiflis, the capital city of Geor gia in Asiatic Russia, have been as sassinated. A hI.AMII It NAILED. THREE GEORGIA GENTLEMEN TAKE JIM BLAINE TO TASK ABOUT THE FLOATING FLAG. • 1 ■■ ■ -■ • " ■—■ ■ ■■ i - yesterday tho following dis patch, which explains itself, was sent to the chairman of tho National Dem ocratic Committee: Atlanta, October 23. Abram S. Hewitt, Chairman: We learn that Mr. Blaine stated in a speech recently in New York that the United States Hag does not float in Georgia, except over custom houses and postofliees. This is not true. On publio occasions they are hoisted over the capitol and across the streets in the city. About tho time that Mr. Blaiue wus speaking in New York there were no less than four or live United States flags float ing from the opera house in Griffin, Ga., when Mr. Norwood and Mr. Har alson were speaking. During the session of tho Democratic convention which nominated Gov. Smith, the present Governor, the hall was deco rated with United States flags, and when Governor elect Colquitt was re cently nominated, there were no less than twenty United States flags, aud no other flags, Hying over the Demo cratic convention. The inference Mr. Blaine would have the Northern peo ple draw is as false as his statement. United States flags are habitually displayed iu our Legislative bails, and were banging there while Mr. Blaiue was speaking. His statement, however, is but another instance of the groundless slanders upon the South, which have become so com mon with a portion of tho Republi can leaders, that while they continue to give us pain, no longer surprise. John B. Gordon, Senator, James M. Smith, Governor, A. It. Lawton, Elector. Theso gentlemen might have added that tho largest audieneo assembled in Georgia since the war, met to hear Alex Stephens deliver a 4th of July oration last year, and tho ex-Y’iee President spoke under a United States flag; and that an immense au dience assembled in Atlanta one month ago to hear the Hon. B. 11. Hill pay tribute to a United States (lag, presented to Atlanta by certain northwestern gentlemen; and that this speech received then with warm applause, is now circulated over the North as a campaign document; and that a deafening and sineero yell of welcome greeted the old flag as it was flung to tho breezo by two old sol diers—ono of whom had worn the blue, and tho other tho gray. We very much think that Jimmy Blaine has told a deliberate and cold blooded lie!— Atlanta Comitution. Forty years ago a Providence me- ; chunic spent a small fortune in at tempting to mako a glazed Russia iron. Only the convicts are initiated into the secrets of this manufacture, which is au important source of rev enue to the Russian Government. The young mechanic resolved to suffer penal servitude in the dungeons of Russia and thus to learn the secret. He went to Europe, and the simple rumor of tho attempted assassination of the Czar by an American, who was supposed to be insane, was all that was known Jof tho fate of the ambitious workman. Nearly half a century has rattled by, and a woman has been waiting patiently for the convict’s return. He had promised to return on tier twentieth birthday; her hair is white now; she lives near Grace Church, and has never lost faith in her lover; and faith has giv en her in old age the grace and beau ty of youth. Last week she received from Europe the glad tidings that he was on his way home to keep his promise. The faith of the heroine is indeed, elastic, and so must that of the public be if it takes the word of the Providence Press and believes this romantic little story. >o incw York Market* Tn-lluy.

The Vienna correspondent of the Daily News reports that arrests con tinue in Constantinople on account of the last conspiracy. It is alleged that tho purpose of the conspirators was to forcibly depose the reforming government. A former Grand Viz ier, Mohammed Pasha, is implicated. The members of the Cabinet were to have been seized at the moment when Gen. Ignatieff arrived at the palace, and the Beys in Bosnia were at the same time to have made dem onstrations of revolt. Constantinople, Oct. 25.—Gen. Ig natieff, Russian ambassador,present ed his credentials to the Sultan yes terday, and subsequently had a pri vate interview with him.
