THE EXPECTED KI HOPKiM WAR.
HOW IT MAY EFFECT THE UNITED STATES.
■
New York. Nov. 17.— The Graph-'
Washington special says it is under
stoad there that at the office of the
Secretary of State, there had been an
overhauling of documents with a view
of being prepared for sueh emergen
cies as may arise should a war be
tween Russia and Great Britiun be
declared. It is not improbable that,
in the event of war, enterprising
American ship-owners and capitalists
might feel disposed to get letters of
marque from Russia to prey upon
English oommerce. ? It would be no
misfortune for this country if the
rates of insurance were raised so high
as to render unprofitable the use of
English vessels, and force tho mer
chants of the world to employ Amer
ican ships.
Rumor has it that in tho event of a
war, the great and rapid steamships
of the Paciflo Mail Steamship Com
pany will be purchased to be used us
vessels of war under the Russian flag.
Hence the controversies connected
with the Alabama and tho other
rebel privateers are to be gone over
with a view to meet emergencies.
The voluminous correspondence of
the late Secretary of State, Wm. H.
Seward, Is being re-read to note the
precedents established. It is felt
here that a war is now inevitable.
Russia will bo practically alone, and
it is now clear that Germany will not
co-operate with her, but will stand
aloof.
An Honest, (Sensible ami Weil-to-lio
Democrat.
Now and then| our attention is
called to an honest, sensible and in
telligent colored Democrat. The
last one to claim our notice is Daniel
Polhill, who lives upon Mr. S. W.
Brown’s plaoe in Pulaski county.
Daniel can read well—in tact while
he was a slave he was taught to read
by the sons ot his old master, Ste
phen Brown, of Houston, who died
ten years ago. Daniel is respected
for his good sense, intelligence and
punctuallicy to his contracts. Those
who know him, trust him in any
promise he makes. He was always a
faithful slave, and since his freedom
he has labored hard and now owns
two good, fat mules, horse, buggy,
and general farm stock.
We saw Daniel In the Court-house
Square in Hawkinsville on the day of
the last election, and ho not only
voted the Democratic ticket, but tried
to induce others, by fair argument,
to vote for the Democratic candi
dates. There could have been no sor
did motive prompting Daniel in his
support of the Democratic party, for
he has plenty to live upon, owns his
stock, and is out of debt. He argued
reasonably and gave good grounds
why he supported the party, and, al
though to some it might have seem
ed strange, he was not at a loss to
give his reasons for the course he
pursues. There were many other
colored men who voted the Demo
cratic ticket, but Daniel did so with
out any persuasion or influence being
brought to bear upon him. He said
he could read, and felt that it was his
duty to help the whites overthrow a
party that is preying upon the peo
ple’s interests.— Hawkinsville Disp.
Butler’s Laat Speech.
From his Speech in Faneuil Hall, Election Night.
Fellow Citizens—l have fought the
fight. [Applause.] I have finished
the course; I have kept the faith. I
must go farther and say, “After the
manner of iften, I have fought with
beasts at Ephesus.” [Laughter.]
And I have had so much to do with
ministers of the Gospel of late, that
I have got used to the good Book,
the precepts of which these clergymen
ought to better understand. One
year ago, in this hall, was given the
order to the Republican party, “Bum
mers, to the rear.” What is a bum
mer? It is one who follows the camp,
but is never on hand to do his duty
in the ranks except when the call is
to roast beef. Now, the gentleman
who spoke that dictum in Faneuil
Hall, with 1,500 other bummers and
sutlers, has marched fully to the
rear. I rejoice in my own election
for the reason that, on the great
question which interests New Eng
land, that of protection, the needs of
this section will not be misrepresent
ed. Take your own city of Boston.
I have no reason to have any
very warm regard for many
of its citizens; but It is the metrop
lis of New England and in its welfare
every New England man is interest
ed, Now, its future depends not on
its commerce. Its supremacy on the
sea cannot be regained. But it is a
centre of manufacturing industry,
and on prosperity here depends its
future. If the tariff is repealed, her
beautiful stores, which have risen
like magic on the burnt district, will
be without tenants, for the mer
chants of Boston will have no trade.
I am interested in manufactures, and
I will will say that, to the extent of
my ability, the interests of Boston
will find no more gallant defender.
The Roman Catholic Church in
England and America.— ln reference
to the growth of the Roman Catholic
Church ifl America, it is stated that,
a hundred years ago, there were not
more than 25 priests in the United
States; in 1800 there were supposed
to be 40; in 1830 the number had
risen to 232, and in 1848 to 890. In ten
years, from 1862 to 1872, the number
of priests had more than doubled—
having grown from 2,317 to 4,809. In
1875, according to the official statis
tics of the various dioceses, there
were 5,074 priests, 1,273 ecclesiastical
students, and 6,528 churches or chap
els of the Roman Catholic rite within
the territory of the republic. There
were also, in the same years, 33 theo
logical seminaries, 63 colleges, 557
academies and select schools, 1,645
parochial schools, 214 asylums, and
96 hospitals under the authority and
control of the Roman Catholic clergy
of the United States.
Suggestive as are these figures, the
Church of Rome can point to others
almost equally suggestive in English
contemporary history. Thus, in six
teen years, the number of Catholic
chapels in Great Britain was more
than doubled; there having been 570
in 1851, and 1,283 in 1867 .—Pa1l Mall
Gazette.
An obliging correspondent sends
us a striking historical precedent for
President Grant’s order dispatching
troops to inspect the counting of the
votes at a Presidential election.
When the formidable Lord Strafford
was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland un
der Charles I, he sent a troop of dra
goons down to a place where a cer
tain Irishman, alleged to be a rebel,
was to be tried by jury; and when
asked why he sent these troops there,
he answered, “they would be good
lookers-on.” The moral effect of a
troop of United States cavalry “look
ing on” while three carpet-bagging
office-holders count the votes of Flor
ida, for example, ought no doubt to
be very great. But there are some
millions of men ifl the North who are
watching the troop of cavalry, and
who also may prove to be “good
lookers-on.” — N. 7. World.

XANTHINE!
Never tails to restore Gray Hair to its original o
our in a few weeks. Pure, harmless-effective
Prepared by XANTHINE CO.. Richmond, Y
Bold by Purcell, Ladd k Co.,Richmond, Va., and
druggists and country merchants. Price $1 per
bottle.
This incomparable preparation for the Hair is
commended to the public on its own merits.
It prevents the Hair from falling off, producing
a rapid and healthy growth;eradicates scurf and
dandruff, and cures disease# of the scalp. Try It
and Judge for yourself.
[From Rev. E. T. Baird, Sec y of Publication of
Presbyterian Church South.]
Richmond, July 27,1874.
The Xanthine is the only hair dressing I have
ever used which has removed the dandruff from
tho scalp and made my hair soft and pliable. It
has also restored my hair to its natural color; and
by occasionally using it as a hair dressing, I have
no doubt it will preserve the color.
I'., X.
[Prom Rev. Mr. Cameron, Minister of Presbyte
rian Church South.l
Mossy Cheek. Tenn, Aug. 22,1878.
Xanthine Cos., Richmond, Va.:
I have need the Xanthine now for three years,
and have induced others to buy it, and have nev
er known It to fail in accomplishing all you
claim for it. It is an excellent tonic, a pleasant
dressing, removing and preventing dandruff and
all unpleasant itching, promoting and preserving
the natural growth and color of tho hair, and ren
dering it glossy and pliable. I confidently,
cheerfully, knowingly recommend it.

Tho following is an extract from a description, published in the New York Tribune, by the wel
known agriculturist, Solon Robinson: . ... . .. _
All the farmers wero of tho “well to do” sort, and somo of them, who have turned thoir attention
to fruits and market gardening, havo grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey,
and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams and occasional wet meadows, in
which deposits ol peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, after it
has been exhausted of its natural fertility.
It is certainly one of the most oxtcnslve fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable
condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We found some
of the oldest farms apparently just as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a
hundred years ago.
The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. Tho whole country is a
marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in
the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the
ry formation; and this marly substance in scattered all through tho sod, in a very comminuted
form, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants as tho farmer desires to
cultivate. ——„———>
