THE DAILY TIMES. JOHN H. MARTIN, - - - Editor. Columbus (i.. SUNDAY DSCEM BEll 10.1870, ! 1 " 1 " " LARGEST CIRCULATION la Ihc traallfi ft* and Trading at Columbia*. Too Soon.— Both parties are firing cannon, in many of the cities, over their respective victories in the Pres idential election. They had better save their ammunition. ♦♦ * - The Demoorats of Wisconsin con test the vote of Dr. Downs, one of the Hayea Electors for the State, on the ground that he is an examining sur geon of the Pension Bureau. The circus didn’t go to Columbus, and the Enquirer man is renl mad about it.— Savannah Newts. The circus did come to Columbus ,and the Enquirer man is madder than lie was before. Secretary Fish gives a contradlc tion to reports that he opposed Pres ident Grant’s late use of troops in the Southern States. He says that he does not differ from the President, and that he will not resign. Fall in Gotn.—lt will bo observ ed that gold fell to 7 per cent, premi um in New York yesterday. This is the lowest point reached in fifteen years. In view of the political ex citement and the great uncertainty as to its result, this is remarkable. A special to the New York Iff raid says that Senator Conkling, who has kept remarkably quiet during the po litical excitement, made some re marks in Washington on Wednesday, from which It is judged that he will maintain the right of the House to scrutinize the Electoral votes, and their power to exclude for cause. Mb. Evarts is said to regard tiie Presi dential question somewhat in the light of a bankrupt railroad. He favors the ap pointment of a receiver, and would no doubt accept the attorneyship on a heavy retainer. The Herald grimly remarks Lat Gen Grant is also in favor of the ap pointment of a reveiver—and he wants to be the receiver. - —— We are glad to find this remark in the New York World; “It will plunge the nation steadily deeper and deeper into disorder if leading Democratic members of the House fail to see that the Demo cratic masses iu the States which gave Democratic majorities are not, disposed to allow the recent illegal use of the army in three Southern Slates to be compromised, arranged or condoned.” Don Piatt reports Hon. Jere Black assaying, in answer to the question whether he thought Grant had de signs upon another Presidential term, “The Russian Government, said Vol taire, was despotism varied by assas sination; the French Government a despotism enlivened by epigrams; and we shall have $ desj.>otistn tinct ured with delirium tremens.” Gov. Grover, of Oregon, was a few months ago elected to the United States Senate—tho term commencing on the 4th of March next, A Wash ington dispatch says that Morton, Chandler and other Republican lead ers are enraged at his conduct in qualifying the Democratic elector in Oregon, thus securing the election of Gov. THden. They threaten now to exclude him (Grover) from the Sen ate, In retaliation. A correspondent of the World, after reviewing the Presidential question in all of its aspects, says: "Such a struggle—when one candidate relies on his law books, the partisans of the other reverse the decisions of tho Supreme Court of a sovereign State by the corporal of the guard—can have but one end. In such a struggle, essentially a waiting raco, in which time, patience and far-reaching skill may be safely trusted to work their perfect work, those who know best the President-elect know he has no superior.” Singular. —lt would appear that it was not certainly known that any lives had been lost by the burning of the Brooklyn theatre until several hours after the fire. The fire oc curred at 25 minutes past 11 Tuesday night, and the New York World of Wednesday morning, in its article of over a oolumn, describing the burn ing of the building and a dwelling house adjoining, said: “It was re ported at first that several lives were lost, but up to this writing no one is reported missing or seriously injured. Many were thrown down and some children were trampled upon, but none of the audience were so disabled by their Injuries as to hinder them from getting home.” k&,. ■* i ' l • - The President and the Abxy.— A Washington Us patch .says : “The de voted partisans of the President in commenting on what ho has done, or what he may do iu the future, have no hesitation in claiming that he will have the support of the army in any emergency. There appears to be some foundation for this. The dis cipline of the army is such that it ran be counted on to obey its head. The present head of the array, Gen. Sherman, seems long ago to have parted with whatever of conserva* tiara he possessed, and is now devo ted body and soul to Gen. Grant. He has only to hear the President’s will to make all haste to execute it. But although there is no limit to Gen. Grant’s ambition nor to his audacity, it will take a good deal more than the army to overthrow the liberties of this country, which many seem to fear he has in contemplation. It may be difficult to arouse the people of this country to action, but when they once are aroused Gen. Grant and his army at his back would be swept away like chaff before the whirl wind.” <r ROME, GA. Rutlnni, Weather. Pulltlr*. ,FOI£M IIM'ITiZRNS OF COIAMWiS In home 3Romf.,*Ga„ Deo. 0, 1876. Editor* Time*: I h ave just arrived here and find Rome a beautiful little city with many handsome stores and dwellings. In fact the Shorter block is hard to beat in any city double its size. Business seems to be brisk and everybody industriously striving ‘for their daily broad. I found the weather very cold hero, and a gentle man told mo that the thermometer on the 4t,h instant fell to 14 degrees, which is very unusual at this season of the year, and let me tell you this cold snap has caused many a hog to die. I learn from leading men hero, that the cotton crop Is the best in quality that has been made in this section since the war. Politics here, as everywhere ‘else, rules the ranch. Everybody is worked up to the highest pitch. All waiting to hear from tho Returning Boards, or what U. 8. Grant and his scamps intend to do about the Presi dential muddle. Here I met some of our former citizens, among them Mr. David Adams, formerly Cashier of the Bank of Columbus. He looks as well as I ever saw him, and is the same genial gentleman of yore. Also, Dr. T. J. Word, late of Columbus. The Doctor looks better than I ever saw him. He is doing a large and paying practice, taking the lead in his profession ns be justly deserves.* This is the home of the Georgia humorist, Bill Arp—this the Eternal city of Rome, from whence be made his escape, when surrounded by Fed eral troops. But let him tell the story as it happened. Says Bill: “To leave I must, but how! Oh, how cau I get away, having no means of transportation, and the quarter master gone! I have an ox-cart, but no gear. lam resolved what to do. -I will get me a rope and tie across the shafts of my cart and back my old steer in, bore a hole in the front of the cart, pull his tail through and tie a knot in it, and thus old Solomon can haul me away,” I.also met hero Mr. W. H. Mitchell, former President of tho Mobilo & Girard Railroad, who is looking as well as a man can look, and desires to be remembered to all his old friends, especially his former em ployees on that road. Messrs. Smith & Son, of Rome, are building a fine steamboat to run tue Etowah river. Everything was made here except the machinery and boil ers. Mr. James Gifford, formerly of the Columbus Iron Works, is put ting in the boilers, and is making a fine job of it, such as would do any shop credit. Mr. Gifford is now car rying on the boiler making business in Atlanta. Titus we see Colntnbus losing her citizens one by one, caused solely by the ruinous rates of freight charged by the railroads leading from it. But there is no bairn in Gillead for the sore, unless Columbus can build another road to Atlanta or some other point. The city of Rome held her munic ipal election to-day, and such a scramble for office I never saw. Mr. Johnson, the present incumbent, was re-elected Mayor by a small majority. One of the Council was elected by a scratch-two majority. Everything passed off quietly without a returning board, but I am afraid Grant will hear of it and have the election in vestigated.

The Democratic side of the House of Representatives was filled before the Republican side, on the morning of the 4th. In the galleries and lob bies was the usual overflow. Mem bers who havo climbed or been "boosted” into national reputation were the centres of groups of admir ing friends on the floor, or of a plunging fire of eyes and lorgnettes from the gallery. The Governor elect of Indiana, (Blue Jeans) who hail come to introduce his successor, Mr. Humphries, was conspicuous botli on account of his stature and csruleau hue. He bore his honors and received congratulations with the easy grace of a hero worthy of victory, not in tho least annoyed when an old half-witted woman, with cork-screw ringlets, and striped shawl, a chronic lobbyist here, but ton-holed him, while tho gallery and half the members looked on in amusement and edification. This was before the House had been call ed to order. Alex Stephens sat with his hatren, engaged in earnest con versation with Fernando Wood. Everybody seemed to be congratula ting Judge Holman of Indiana, but, whether it was because his district had decided he was too good to be sent to the Forty-fifth Congress, or, whether because through the election of Mr. Randall as Speaker, he is pro moted to the chairmanship of the Committee on Appropriations, is not important; but let inesay enpassant, that chair is now filled by the most careful and judicial economist, with which Providence, in hard times, ever blessed an almost bankrupt country. Chandler’s margin for campaign assessments will grow daily less, and tho army of occupa tion in South Carolina, as well as many of the army of office holders, will have to live on wind uncrammed even with promises. Congress, it is said, holds the parse strings,| but something more is meant when it can be said the purse strings are held through Holman. Tho very cut of his face makes claim agents and lob byists shako with despair. Mr. Randall sat quietly in his chair, the picture of good health and infinite satisfaction. The disappoint ed candidates for Speaker were evi dently but little cast. down. Sunset Cox was eheery; Mr. Saylor serene and affable; Fernando Wood rigid; while Mr. Morrison wore a stern ex pression that boded something more than Sunday school diversion in this Congress. Indeed I may say the en tire Democratic side resembles Mr. Morrison in this respect. Conspicuous on the floor, in con versation with the able young mem ber from Ohio, Mr. Southard, was Wm. Uell.jr., the Ohio Democratic candidate in the close election, last fall, that went so far towards decid ing the Presidential contest. Ben Hill, of Georgia, lolled as usual (he never sits) in his chair, and Henry Wntterson moved about restlessly over the floor, more observed than some members who have had leases of years in which to make themselves notorious or famous. At 12 m. precisely, the Clerk rapped the House to order and began to call the roll of the members by States, geographically, 'commencing with Maine. This work was no sooner concluded than the two parties “went at it,” fiercely but decorously, on the Presidential question. It came abouh in this way: Mr. Banks, hoary if not venerable parliamentarian, offered the creden tials of Mr. Belford, Republican member elect from Colorado, and, holding up his certificate with its gilt seal, moved that he be sworn in. Mr. Holman, the stubbornest Democrat on the floor, said, “Let’s elect a Speaker ttrst,” or words to that effect; and, after many remarks on both sides, he had his way—for he had the majority—and in all war, (voting is simply war by arbitration,) Provi dence favors the majority, or, as Gen. Moreau (not Napoleon) said, "the dense battalions.” Then Mr. Cox nominated Mr. Randall for Speaker, and Mr. McCreary nomi nated Mr. Garfield. Mr. Randall was elected and conducted to the Speak er’s chair, where ho made a remark able speech, concluding with the words, “Let us forget that we are party adherents, remembering only that we are American citizens, with a country to save which may be lost if unauthorized and unconstitutional acts on the part of Executive officers be not frowned down at once with relentless and unsparing condemna tion.” The loud applause with which these words were received on tho floor and in the gallery indicated, beyond ques tion, the Long Parliament temper of the House and the aroused sympathy of the people. Then I hastened over to the repor ters’ gallery of the Senate, where I saw but little. The Senate had ad mitted the two Colorado Senators, called the attention of the committee on elections to tho Southern muddle, and adjourned. A score of Senators still lingered. Senator Morton, dark browed and terrible, sat, talking to Senator Blaine. Boutwell talked with Edmonds, while Bayard, of Dela ware, and Stevenson, of Kentucky, conversed earnestly If we only knew what these gentlemen dare to say to each other, it would make more interesting reading in this cri sis than theirqualifted and guarded speeches.

Waihiugton to Cincinnati Commercial.] The excitement of the hour is not confined to the House. In the Sen ate to-day the discussion was most vigorous, and the countenances and actions of Senators speaking and lis tening showed that ft was with diffi culty they controlled themselves. Senator Sherman labored under such strong feelings that it seemed almost Impossible sometimes for him to ex press himself. His words crowded up faster than he could utter them. Bogy lost control of himself, and once or twice excitedly ejaculated, as statements wore made by Sherman : “I know better! I know hotter!” But in the general earnestness no no tice was taken of tho interruption. Bayard could not sit still, but ner vously paced the floor, while the let ter writing and private business, such as is usually transacted during de bate, was'entirely dropped. Theex citemeut shows uo sign of fulling off, but, on the contrary, steadily In creases. and the culmination cannot be far distant. FIRMNESS OF THE DEMOCRATS. Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.J The feeling at the Democratic cau cus last night was almost universal that it was the duty of the House to take a firm stand against tho conspi racy to count in Hayes. “Let what will come,” as Proctor Knott ex pressed it to-night, “the question is simply whether tho returns of tho Returning Boards of Louisiana and Florida are the returns of the votes of those States or of the Republican members of those boards.” It is manifest that the Senate will hold that it is the vote of tite States. The House will certainly hold that it is not, if the reports of its special committees shall sustain the pub lished facts. What will happen in that event no one pretends to fore tell to-night, hut in all faces a deep feelingef anxiety is manifest. No thing definite is likely to be done until after the holiday recess, when the reports of the special committees will probably be in. Mt.
