♦ OPENING SONG.
With C. S. Mallette as musical lead
er and Arthur L. Word as organist,
the following ode was rendered with
the trappiest effeot, over two hundred
voices takißgpart:
SOLO.
Hall! Brother Masons, hail!
Let friendship long prevail,
And bind us fast.
May harmony and peace
Our happiness increase.
And friendship never cease,
While life doth last.
CHORUS.
Sincerity and love,
Decendants from above,
Our minds employ;
Mortality our price,
And truth our constant guide,
with us are close allied.
And form our joy.
SOLO.
Wo on the level meet,
And every brother greet,
Skilled In our art;
And when our labors past.
Each brother’s hand wo will grasp,
Then on the square at last,
Friendly we’U part.
CHORUS.
May wisdom bo our care,
And virtue form the square,
By which we live.
That we at last may join
The Heavenly Lodge sublime,
Where we shall perfect shine,
With God above.
NEW YORK POLITIC*,
Fresh and Intmatlna ttosnlp From
the Empire stole,
George Alfred Townsend says, in
bis New York special to the O'incin
nati Enquirer of Monday :
The Kepubllcan canvass of Con
necticut shows a minority.of 1,600
votes on the most sangune estimate.
The Times correspondence gives up
the State. New Jersey is not counted
by the Republicans at headquarters
on their list for Hayes. They are not
quite so panicky as cn Friday last.
To-day’s Hevald ridicules Green,
and takes Tilden’s election as a fore
gone concusion. The New York
Times’ correspondence concedes the
election of Tilden, and Hampton by
South Carolina, with a majority of
10,000. and four Democratic Con
gressmen.
The registration of voters in New
York City is now complete, and is a
little short of 180,000-an increase of
38,000 in one year, and 60,000 since the
year following the fall of Tweed.
Davenport, the Federal Supervisor,
has made stringent arrangements to
detect fraudulent votes, and the con
fidence of the Republicans is stout.
Gov. Thomas L. Young, of Ohio,
says the rich men and bondholders
do not come up as they did in 1872.
All attempts to patch a coalition
between Anti-Tammany and the Re
publicans appear to have failed, and
this greatly disturbs the soul of Thur
low Weed, who made and then broke
the bargain. //
Complaints are loud among the
rank and file of the Republicans at
the crooked tactics they have been
drilled id f they are without any city
ticket whatever, and it is only a week
before election day, while the Demo
crats have a strong candidate for
Mayor, and Anti-Tammany is going
to pieces. The Republicans poll from
45,000 to 70,000 votes,
“Confusion Worse Confounded.”
Philadelphia, Nov. 1. — In some

stating that the Pennsylvania Fire
Insurance Cos., had failed was printed
“Pennsylvania Fire Insurance Cos.”

cident he found on the street:
Hd’qrs Union Veterans’ National 1
Committee, Fifth Avenue r
Hotel, Ne\v York City, Oct. 24, 1876 )
lion. J. E. Bryant, Savannah, Oa.:
Dear SiR-It is of the greatest im-
Sortance that the loyal men of the
orth should know the true condi
tion of affairs at the South. The re
ports of newspaper correspondents
are generally looked upon a unrelia
ble, and do not convince people.
Statements, however, made by men
of your reputation and living perma
nently in tbe South would have a
great weight, and their communica
tion to the publio would have a large
influence upou the voters of the
North in November.
I therefore ask you to writo me on
receipt of this, and on the 2d of No
vember, giving mo the true state or
feeling of the Democrats in your
State towards the Union men and ne
groes; their expectations of the ro
sult of Tilden’s election ;• their feel
ing as to the lost cause; their treat
ment of the negro, etc., etc.; in fact,
all that in your good judgment would
be of value.
Please also say whether you are
willing to have your name published
as the writer (which would.add much
to value j, or for your own reasons
would prefer to have the statement
simply made that the writer is a dis
tinguished mau and ex-ofllcer—the
former much preferable.
I beg to urge upon you strongly to
act at once upon this. We have a
tight before us. Your obedient serv’t
Drake DeKay,
a Secretary National Commitee.
The meaning of the above is {lat
ent. Generals Dix, Garfield, Burn
side & Cos. want statements made by
ex-Union officers iu the South which
will fire the-Northern heart. Mr.
Bryant is, in so many words, told to
furnish such statements, and they
are to be made in time for publica
tion on the evo of the election, so
that they may not be contradicted.
“A heavy tight” Is before them by
their own confession, and they pro
pose to carry it by such means as are
indicated in their letter. We trust
that our Northern friends will give
this letter the publicity that it de
serves. To remove any doubts as to
its authenticity we will state that the
original lias been preserved, and is
subject to inspection.
Prominent Republicans of this
city, hearing that this letter was in
our possession, exhibited great anx
iety to have it suppressed, but wo
deemed its publication a duty to the
Democratic party.

HE IS WANTED TO HEAD OPPOSITION TO
A DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION.
Special to New York World.]
Washington, Oct, 26. —The fact that
tho Republicans here are generally
conceding the election of Gov. Tilden
for President is shown by a meeting
held here at which a Ben Butler Club
was organized, and which has issued
a huge poster for distribution in the
Lowell District, reciting that the
probability of the election of a Dem
ocratic President and a Democratic
House makes it imperative that Gen.
Butler should be elected to the Forty
fifth Congress as an aggressive leader
on the Republican side. Besides this
admission it also contains resolutions
endorsing Butler. The poster, which
is placarded at the principal hotels,
is signed by the leading editor of the
National Republican ; Congressman
McDougall, of New York ; Fred
Douglass; Stephen A. Douglas, jr.,
the Executive Clerk of the Senate,
and[ others of prominence in the
Republican party here.
Mew York, Connecticut and Mew Jer
*ey.
We wish to say to the friends of
Tilden and Reform throughout the
country that they need feel no appre
hensions about New York, Connecti
cut and New Jersey. They have been
subjected to a thorough and careful
canvass, minute and particular in
every respect, and in which all the
doubtful elements have been conced
ed to the Republicans. The result is
that New York is absolutely sure to
go for Tilden by an overwhelming
majority, Connecticut by a large ma
jority, and New Jersey by a sufficient
majority.— N. Y. Sun.
A sensation has been created in
Jersey City by the discovery of a gold
mine while sinking a well. The
workmen, after passing through a
vein of iron ore, struck a quartz vein
containing gold, at a depth of 900
feet. Geologists suppose that this
quartz belongs to the Appalachian
range running from Nova Scotia to
the Gulf, and having outcroppings
in Virginia, North Carolina and Geor
gia. _____
A Scandal Exploded.
Washington, Nov. I. Mr. Maris
chal, Mexican Minister to this coun
try, has just returned from a brief
visit to Mexico, where he called upon
his predecessor, Mr. Romeo, and saw
him living happily with his wife.
He was surprised to learn on his
return that a report had been widely
published in the United States to the
effect that Romeo had eloped with a
libertine in the city of Mexico. Mr.
Marischal does not hesitate to pro
nounce the report destitute of truth.

London, Npv. I.— -A Reuter dis

A Rome special to the Daily News

COLUMBUS, GA„ THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 2, 1876.
Miciice v*. TliroloK)
In its last Issue The Interior, under
the heading “Mon of Science Turn
ing Theologiaus,” presents the fol
i lowing:
“One of the most marked features
of the times Is the extent to which
our leaders of scientific thought aro
giving their attention to the discus
sion of deep theologicul questions.
Although they do it in no very friend
ly or graceful spirit, yet the fact
that it is so often and so largely
done is a tacit acknowledgement to
the supreme interest of these ques
tions. It Is an involuntary but sig
nificant homage which the sceptical
scientific culture of tho age is paying
to the Bible and to Christianity.
This is especially the case with theso
distinguished gentlemen whenever
they take the leoture field and under
take to popularize science by a direct
address to the public. They can not
well keep their hands off. No sub
ject in the world is so interesting,
so absorbing to the great mass of
mankind. The people are every
where ready to hear itdisoussed, and
even to applaud tho lecturer, though
he may do it with no good will to
Christianity and the Bible.
Hence it is found that our great
leaders of tho purely physical or ma
terialistic sciences, no longer con
tent with the limited domain of their
predecessors of formages, and no
longer shut up to tho narrow pre
cincts of the study and tho laborato
ry, are perptually stepping over tho
border which divides science from re
ligion from, and venturing boldly
into tho realm of philological and
theological inquiry.
“Alihost every man of them pro
fesses not to do this but to deal ex
clusively with facts, stern, hard, pos
itive, undeniable, absolutely demon
strated, pyhsical or historical facts.
But before theso gentlemen are
through with a course of lectures, of
ten before the close of a single lecture,
they are fairlv across tho boundary,
and grappling with the deepest prob
lems of God and immortality, crea
ation, life landjdeath, froo-will,| fate
and providence. They aro not only
telling us how this world was made,
not only explaining to us the facts of
existence, but telling us whence and
how all existence came, back through
the interminable abysses of the past.
There would seem to be such a charm
in those cosmological, theological
and Biblical questions, that they
find it impossible to kill them
alone,
Anotner illustration of this uncon
scious complimentary homage to re
ligious questions has just been fur
nished in the lectures of Prof. Hux
ley in New York. He professed to
accept nothing but established facts,
such, for example, as the historical
fact that the universe was some ages
ago a ‘gelatinous mass,’ and then
some ages prior to that a gaseous or
‘nebulous mass;’and he disclaimed
uttering any opinion about the Mo
saic cosmology, confining. himself
merely to the Miltonian theory. But
before he was done with the first lec
ture he was found very thoroughly
discussing this same Mosaic or bi
blical account of creation, and hold
ing it up iu a somewhat grotesque
and ridiculous light. Yet three was
no part of learned lecture which
seemed to afford higher enjoyment,
if not instruction, to the large audi
ence than this discussion of tho Mo
saic cosmology. Well, we are rather
pleased to see the scientific men of
our day in the role of theologian.
If they do not play the part very
well, still there is wisdom in a multi
tude of counselors. It is not the first
time that Saul has been found among
theprophets.
“The wonder turns In this case on
the largo scientific complacency
wiiich can reject all the facts of the
Mosaic writings, which have stood
on the best historical testimony in
the world, and then expect an intel
ligent audience, sitting as a jury, to
accept, on circumstantial evidence
alone, such incontestable facts, os
that this whole material universe,
thousands of years ago (how many
the evidence does not show; existed
as a gelatinous mass, and that thou
sands of yearn before” that, but how
many no evidence shows, it existed
as a nebutous mass.
“That is, according to these ora
cles, we are to renounce the Bible as
having no basis in scientific or his
torical fact, wo are to believe that
this solid earth, with all that inhab
its it, along with myriads of other
worlds, were once a huge oonglomer
ate of gelatine, or say jelly, and ages
before that a huge cloud-vapor, or
say balloon of gas, each having with
in its own bosom, ns Mr. Tyndull put
it, all the promise and potencies of
life. If such as these bo the impreg
nable facts which the latest British
science has demonstrated, and wiiich
our most brilliant American scientific
audiences are ready to applaud to
the echo, then we think the old
Latin sarcasm— Credat Judtens Apella
—may be fairly passed over from the
Christian to the modern men of
science.”

REPORTED RUSSIAN ULTIMATUM ON THE
ARMISTICE.
St. Petersburg, Oct. 31.—Tho Ga
zette, the official organ of the Russian
Government, to-day publishes the
announcement that Gen. Ignatiff,
the Russian Ambassador at Constan
tinople, has delivered to Turkey its
ultimatum. Tho Russian Govern
ment demands an immediate cessa
tion of hostilities, and a six weeks
armistice. If refused Geu. Ignatiff
will leave Constantinople to-night.
London, Oot. 31.— An official dis
patch from St. Petersburg announc
ing that tho Russian ultimatum has
been presented to-day created an ex
citement in financial circles, and con
suls declined onc-half, with depress
ed feeling in all classes of European
securities. Tbe peaceful outlook is
vanishing and tho war feeling re
vived. Advices from Berlin report a
panic on the bourse over the threat
ening advices from Russia, and
stocks are declining.
London, Nov. 1. —The Post says it
has reason to believe that only yes
terday, subsequent to the issue of the
new Russian instructions, important
peaceful telegrams were received
from the principals concerned in
the negotiations. It hopes, notwith
standing appearances, that Gen. Ig
natieff has not reverted to tho origi
nal demand for a bare six weeks’ ar
mistice, which would only snatch tfie
fruits of victory from Turkey and
enable the Russians and Servians to
enter upon a winter campaign. If
conditions possible of acceptance are
offered, we may feel certain the Porte
will accept them. A few hours will
show whether Russia means war.
The above is prominently printed
in the Post. A Berlin dispatch to
that paper says; “A gloomy feeling
prevails here, although it is asserted
iu diplomatic circles that the Porte
has already submitted uncondition
ally to Ignatiff’s demand.”
The Time s has the following dis
patch, dated Paris, Oct. 31st, mid
night: We announce this evening
that before the expiration of four
hours the conclusion of an armistice
will be officially notified.
A dispatch to the Russian Tele
graphic Dispatch Company, dated
St. Petersburg, Oct. 31st, 8 r. m„ stig
matizes as bad faith the pushing of
military operations by ttie Turkish
Government while negotiations are
pending, and says it is this conduct
that has compelled Russia to have re
course to compulsion.
Alf.xina.tz, Nov. I.—A dispatch to
the News from Paratehin, says Gen.
Tchcrnayeff has had an interview
with Prince Milam there, and it is
reported that the Prince has express
ed a desire to abdicate.
A Belgrade special reports that
Gen. Thernayeff has abandoned the
defense of Krujerats and ordered
Horotavitz to fall back thither, and
then move down the Valley of Mo
rava to Stolatz, where the two por
tions of the army will be reunited.
The arqiy will then fall back to Chu
prija. Paratehin is being hastily
fortified.
Paris, Nov. I.— Constantinople ad
vices say the armistice is unsigned.
The Russian ultimatum was only
delivered to the Porte yesterday.
Ragusa, Nov. I.—The Montane
grans are bombarding Podgoritz.
The Montenegran army penetrate!

off communication betweenDodgoritz
and Schutari.
London, Nov. I.— The Pall Mall
Gazette to-day prints the following
very prominently: “We believe the
statement that the armistice was
signed yesterday to be Incorrect.
The Russian ultimatum seems to
have interrupted atrangements on
the point ot completion when it ar
rived. In all probability the signa
ture is only delayed.
Bt. Petersburg, Oct. 31.— T0-day’s
Official Gazette states that General
Ignatiff has been instructed to de
mand the Porte’s acceptance, within
forty-eight hours, of an armistice and
suspension of hostilities; otherwise
diplomatic relations between Russia
and Turkey will be broken off, and
Gen. Ignatiff, with the whole pftrso
nel of the Embassy, will leave Con
stantinople. '
This ultimatum of Russia to Turkey
was dispatched from Livadia, where
the Russian Court is sojourning, to
Constantinople yeste.rday.
Paris, October 31.—Advices from
Constantinople state that the armis
tice was not then signed, but its sig
nature was regarded probable.
The Vienna Corresjjvndent an
nounces the completion of the ar
mistice.
London, Get. 31. -/The Telegraph’s
Belegradedispatch says Prince Milan
will take command of the army.
Seven hundred of 1,000 Russians
were killed at D’junis.
Minister Bistres, in charge of the
Government at Belgrade, is empow
ered to treat for peace or an armis
tice if opportunity offers. It is
thought he will seize the opportunity
to make peace and free the Govern
ment from Russian influence.
The Standard’s Vienna telograms
say, aooording to an official telegram,
the terms of tho armistice are agroed
upon, and its publication is hourly
expected..
London, Oct. 31.—The Post gives
prominence to an articlo in an offi
cial form, indicating tho terms of tho
armistice completed, and a confer
ence of the powers will be shortly
held. Russia has failed in her ob
jection to Turkey’s participation In
the conference. Deliberations re
specting reforms will be conduoted
by six powers, and tbo result will bo
submitted to Turkey. All the great
powers except Austria have assented
to this plan.
The Times’ correspondent at Bel
grade telegraphs there is no longer
any delusion. Servla is now at the
feet of Russia, or tho mercy of Tur
key.
St. Petersburg, Oct. 31.—Intelli
gence received here from Belgrade
states that Prince Milan’s departure
thence fer the army has given rise to
a conflict between the Servian’s civil
and military authorities.
The Turks are marching upon
Kruschevatz, and General Tchernay
eff is operating with the object of
covering that place.
London, Oct. 31.—A dispatch to
Reuter from Constantinople says it
is officially stated there that Turkish
troops have entered Alexinatz, after
several days fighting.
London, Nov. I.—Dispatches from
Constantinople report that the Pow
ers have telegraphed a note to Greece
not to complicate the situation by
assuming a warlike attitude.
Vienna, November I.—Emperor
William’s speech produced an un
comfortable feeling here, as indica
ting that the triple alliance is not
firm.
The Delegrade wing of the army
is in a condition of demoralization,
and at least temporary dispersion.
General Horvatovitch, with the right,
wing, is out of reach of the Turks,
and it would be folly for him to offer
battle.
The Russian officers are leaving;
they decline to be massacred for a
people whom they denounce as being
destitute of all martial spirit;,they
have no words to express their con
tempt and disgust for the pusillan
imity of the Servian soldiers.
The whole territory in the Moravia
Valley south of Parokia is in course
of universal evacuation, painfully ac
celerated by incorrect rumors of Sun
day’s losses, no certain estimate of
which can be found, because most of
the Servian battalions are more or
less disintegrated, and nobody can
distinguish between killed, wounded
and missing—the last named being
stragglers. Many wounded must
have been left on the field of battle.
ACCOUNT OF SUNDAY’S BATTLE.
DEFEAT AND DEMORALIZATION OF THE
SERVIANS—DISGUST OF THE
RUSSIANS.
London, Nov. I.— The correspond
ent of the Daily News, with General
Tchernaeff’s army, telegraphs a de
scription,of Sunday’s battle, and the
position of affairs afterward. The
following are extracts:
The Turks fought with a dogged
pertinacity, and occasionally with a
brilliant dash which claims the high
est admiration. The Russians fought
hard ami stotly, but then the Rus
sians had borne the bruntof fight after
light in this very position ; and as for
the Servians, it was not their day. The
full weight and significance of theScr.
vians defeat is not easy to esti mate and
is too early to frame any opinion of the
loss, when we do not know where the
troops are, to say nothing of the woun
ded, many of whom I fear will never
be brought in.
A Fight Willi tlic liHlJmitt.
. St. Padl, October 31.— The Pioneer
Press has specials from Bismarck
which say Gen. Miles had a success
ful fight, after an unsuccessful coun
cil, with Sitting Bull, on the 21st and
22d, on Cedar creek, killing a number
of Indians and wounding many. His
loss was two wounded. He chased
the Indians about 60 miles, when
they divided, one portion going to
ward the agency, and Sitting Bull to
ward Fort Peck, Gen. Miles follow
ing. Gen. Hagen has gone to Fort
Peck with four companies of infantry
and rations for Geo. Miles. Sitting
Bull crossed the river below Fort
Peck on the 24th, and had sent word
to the agent that he was coming, and
would ■ be friendly, but wanted am
munition.
Chicago, Nov. I.—The official re
port of the battle between Sitting
Bull, Pretty Boar, Bald Eagle, Stand
ing Bear, Gaul and White Bear and
Gen. Miles, on Cedar creek, states
the number of Indians known to be
killed is twenty-five. The report
concludes: “I believe this matter can
be closed now by vigorous work.
Some cavalry is indispensable.

A LIVERPOOL COTTON ESTIMATE
The llemaud likely to Exceed the up-

■■ -I'D ■ i. n. ■
London, Nov. I.—Tho Times to-day,
In its financial articlo, says:
Messrs. Ellison & Cos., of Liver
pool, cotton brokers, In their annual
review of tho cotton trade, make a
calculation based on figures and past
experience, that will next year re
quire 2,241,000,000 pounds of cotton,
or, 5,002,500 bales. They estimate
that the demand will exceed the sup
ply by 145,000 bales. If, however,
Europe continues unsettled, the de
mand doubtless will be less and the
probable supply may exceed the es
timates, as roports from the United
States frequently do not give a fair
idea of the actual state of facts at the
outset of tho season.
The (.ales on the (Vest Indies.
New York, Oct. 31.— Mail advices
from Kingston, Jamaica, say that on
the ,islands of St. Martin, St. Barts

done by the gales. At tbe former
place several vessels were stranded.
One schooner, the Matt Bedell, sunk
at her moorings, the crew escaping
on shore. Great havoc is reported,
especially in the French quarter. As
many as 215 houses have been de
stroyed in that part alono. At St.

of property is also great, and much
distress prevails among the poor of
these islands. At St. Barts 40 houses
were blown down aod destroyed, and
160 injured.

Fearful Fire Damp Explosion.
Pottsville, Oct. 31—Last night
about 11 o’clock a fearful explosion
of fire damp occurred at the Wards
rille shaft colliery, about 3 miles
from this city, by which John Welsh,
Matthew Dordamy and Peter Reilly,
were horribly burned. They had
fired a blast and Reilly had entered
tho shaft with an open lamp which
ignited gas, and explosion ensued.
Welsh and Dordamy are not expect
ed to recover, and it is doubtful
whether Reilly will live. This was
one of the most terrific explosions
that ever occurred in that colliery.
