Mbs. Gin. Sherman has just pub
lished an earnest appeal to the Cath
olic* of tkU oountry to contribute to
the testimonial which is to be qffered
to the Pope on the fiftieth anniversa
ry of his elevation to tho ojfiscopate.
A large album is to contain a list of
all the contributor's names.
A Chicago woman, who had be
come dumb by paralysis of the
mouth, had her power of speech sud
denly restored while endeavoring to
pray; and now tho papers are dis
cussing the question whether this
was a miracle. We think that it
would have been a greater miracle if
the Chicago woman had remained
permanently mute.
The Athens Watchman reports that
Mr. John Sikes, of Clarke county,
housed and sold. 2,300 bushels of
Shockley apples grown in his or
chard last year, besides making a
large quantity of cider. He did not
gather more than half his apples, for
lack of help. He realized $1,400 or
$1,600 from the apples which he sold.
Is not this a much better business
than raising all cotton?
The New York Hun says that the
decision of the Electoral Commission
in tbs case of Florida is, substantial
ly, that they will not investigate to
find out, but only to cover up. They
say they will not inquire into the
miscount, but will only determine
what has been done under tho
forms of law. This is not inquiring
into the merits of a disputed election.
It is doing something else, in order
that they may not inquire. Is this
the way to satisfy au honest public
demand?
In the city of New York provision
lias to be made for the relief of the
families of 55,000 unemployed labor
ers. It is estimated that the destitute
exceed 200,000 souls. The city coun
cil has petitioned the State Legisla
ture to appropriate $1,000,000 for the
repair of the down town streets, and
tbus to provide labor for the unem
ployed and food for their families.
Tho relief societies are all understood
to be sorely overtaxed, and there
never has been so much destitution
in the city as now.
We see that quite a number of
gentlemen are already announced
as candidates for the Governorship
of Ohio. This indicates the belief of
the politicians that Hayes will be
declared President and will have to
resign his present position. Tba list
of candidates now embraces Messrs.
Ward, Bice, Morgan, Hunt, Camp
bell, Potter, Bishop, Jennings,
Vance and Converse. Not knowing
the politics of all these gentlemen,
wo do not class them politically.
The Washington reporter of the
Cincinnati Enquirer telegraphs that
if Louisiana is given to Hayes, the
Democrats will reconsider their de
termination not to contest the vote
of South Carolina, and will object to
the Hayes certificate, and send the
matter to the Tribunal. The fight
will be made on the failure of the
State officers to comply with the law
requiring the registration of voters.
The report of Sayler’s Investigating
Committee, which visited the State,
is withheld for this purpose.
Gov. Vance, of North Carolina, is
in receipt of a letter from the Secre
tary of War, demanding the records
of the Adjutant General of that State
for the year 1861 to 1865,inclusive. Gov.
Vance has replied refusing to com
ply with the demand ; in the course
of his reply referring to certain
North Carolina letter-books now in
possession of the Federal Govern
ment to which he is not permitted
access, but which have been garbled
by designing men, and used to his
detriment. Good for Gov. Vance.
It is now apparent that, whatever
may be the decision of the Electoral
Commission on the Louisiana con
test, it will be in the power of the
Radicals in Congress to postpono the
conclusion of the count and the de
claration of the result until the 4th
of March. The Democrats can only
secure the vote of Louisiana through
a decision of the Commission to go
behind the certificates and look into
the returns. To do this will require
a tedious examination and compari
son of testimony, even if it is
confined to that already taken
by the Congressional Commit
tees; and then must come more
long arguments, and perhaps motions
to rule out portions of the testimony
as irregular. How long will this
take? The Commission must hurry
work faster than it has yet done to
get through with Louisiana next
week. Then will come Oregon and
South Carolina, which may go before
the Commission, and Mississippi,
which cannot be taken to that tribu
nal, but over whose vote the Radi
cals may make a contest in the joint
session. They may alee make a con
test in the joint session over individ
ual Electoral voles from Virginia and
West Virginia, so as to kfll time.
We regard it as by no means certain
that the action of the Commission
will be final and decisive.
The nse of chloroform in dentistry is
said by the Medical Record to be always
dangerous. “No surgeon,” says the
writer, “Cares to assume the responsibility
of giving chloroform unless he knows
that the stomach of the patient is empty,
that the circulatory apparatus is in good
condition, and that the lungs are free from
disease. A previous inquiry into these
conditions is as much a part of the ad
ministration of any anaesthetic as is the
placing of the napkin to the nose.”
UI'HUSA TOW !
Our night dispatches show that the
Electoral Commission, by the same
party vote of sto 7, has decided not
to go behind the certificates to in
quire into the vote of Louisiana.
This, of course, will give the vote of
the State to Hayes. There is a bare
possibility that the votes of one or
two of the Huyes Electors may
be thrown out on account
of their ineligibility, inasmuch as
the Commission goes behind the cer
tificates to investigate challenges
for that cause. liut tho prospect is
not hopeful. It is far more probable
Unit the decision to go behind the
certificates was only made with a
view to throwing out the vote
of Cronin of Oregon. That, we
think, will surely be done, but per
haps the Commission may find that
It cannot possibly strain the law and
oonstitution bo far os to admit the
vote of Watts for Hayes. There is
yet a hope that by the rejection of
Watts’ vote a tie will be made and
tho election of President be thrown
Into tho House. But there is now no
hope for Hendricks.
P. B.—When the above was written
we had not been informed of the re
fusal of tho Commission to go behind
the certificates to examine Into the
eligibility of Louisiana Eelectors—
reversing Its action in the Florida
case. Will it be as regardful of the
certificate of the Governor of Oregon
as of that of Kellogg ? We fear not.
LETTER FROM MAJ. M. J. HOKES.
State op Geoboia, I
House of Representatives, >
Atlanta, Feb. 16, 1877. )
Editors Times—l have but a few
moments to spare, and I write you to
say, that on introducing what Is
colled “The Lottery Bill,” I had but
one view. It prohibits the sale of
uny tickets, and gave to the school
fund s2oo,ooo—to be paid directly
from the Treasury, without the waste
ful intervention of trustees. As soon
as I noticed that there was objection
to It on account of its probable im
moral tendencies, I determined to
abandon the bill, and did not even
appear before the committee to ad
vocate it, nor do I expect to advocate
It in the House. The bill will be lost;
in fact, I would myself vote against
it, In respect to what seems to be a
general opposition. But I can not
divest myself of the idea, that there
ure but few who oppose it on "moral
could not be convinced
of their error if the $200,000 was ap
propriated to their individual benefit,
Instead of to tho education of or
phans.
As to criticisms on my publlo
course, lam now a public man, and
my Legislative action is the proper
subject of journalistic criticism. I
am satisfied that my answer shall be
found in my Legislative record.
I havo made many personal ene
mies during this session, hut I have
done my full share in saving the State
nearly $400,000; and I have the con
solation of knowing that I havo not
made an enemy whose ill-will is not
occasioned by my warring against
all inroads upon the public Treasury.
Respectfully,
R. J. Moses.
Kcmlnlacence of Gen. Jackson.
The venerable General William O.
Buffer, one of the heroes of the war of
1812 and of the Mexican war, and the
Democratic candidate for Vive-President
on the ticket with Gen. Cass, now lives
in Oarrolton, Ky. He said ot Gen. Jack
son, to a writer in the Cincinnati Com
inertial,* short time ago, that he was lit
tle read in books. .“Indeed," said the Gen
eral “I do not remember seeing any books
at his house but the Bible and hyuin
book, and probably a copy of Bunyan’s
‘Pilgrim Progress,” but he was an indefa
tigable reader of newspapers, and was
thoroughly posted in current events, and
especially in politics. While possessed ot
little technical learning, his common sense
was boundless. He hau an intuitive knowl
edge of men, and an influence over
them that was unlimited. My brother
Tom, (the mayor,) who was an aid to the
General, had some words with him
about a requisition for arms, and cool
ness ensued. Some time after the battle
a grand ball was given the General, at
which Mrs. Jackson, who had Just reach
ed the city, was present. My brother was
there, of course, and suddenly encoun
tered the General, with Mrs. Jackson
leaning on his arm. After salutations,
the General said, in his irresistible way,
‘Tom, you are still in a huff.’ The latter
shook his head negatively. ‘Well, I think
you are, and I won't believe differently
until you kiss Mrs. Jackson,’ which Tom
gallantry and promptly did, In the pres
ence of the whole assembly. I knew Mrs.
Jackson well, continued the General,
“and she was one of the best women I
ever knew. Certainly a kinder-hearted
creature never lived. ’ The General was
devoted to her. It was interesting to ob
se've him when she was in his company.
His eyes were constantly upon her, and
he seemed to anticipate her every wish.”
Seward and John Quincy Adams.
The Hon. W. 11. Seward, in a letter
describing his first interview with John
Quincy Adams, said:
“The house is very plain and old-fash
ioned; no Turkey carpeting, no pier table,
no pUlar and claw piano. Very piain in
grain carpeting covered the floor, very
plain paper on the walls, A short, rather
corpulent man of sixty and upward came
down the stairs and approached me. He
was bald, and bis countenance was staid,
sober, almost to gloom or sorrow, and
hardly gave indication of his superiority
over other men. His eyes were weak
and inflamed. He was dressed in an olive
frock coat, a cravat carelessly tied, and
old-fasbioned light colored vest and pant
aloons. It was obvious that he was a
student, just called from the labors of his
closet Without courtly air or attitude,
he paused at the door of the parlor. I
walked quite up to him while. he main
tained his immovable attitude, and pre
sented my letters of introduction. Our
interview lasted three hours; he was all
the time plain, honest, and free in his dis
course, but with hardly a ray ol animation
or feeling in the whole of it. In short he
was just exactly what I before supposed
he was—a mail to be respected for his
talents, admired for his learning, honored
for bis integrity and simplicity, but hard
ly possessing traits of character to inspire
a stranger with affection. Occasionally,
indeed, be rose into a temporary earnest
ness, and then a flash of ingenious ardor
was seen, but it was transitory, and all
wag cool, regular, and deliberate. As I
left the house I thought I could plainly
answer how it happened that he, the
beet President since Washington, entered
and left the office with so few devoted
personal friends.”
THE REMOVAL qiJKMTION.
The question of submitting to the
people separately the location of the
scat of government seems to be the
pivot upon which the disagreement
between the two bouses now turns.
The House first passed the Conven
tion bill without auy provision foi
submitting tbo call to a vote of the
people; the Seuate, by a close vote,
inserted an amendment for taking
the sense of the poople on the ques
tion of tho call; the House agreed to
this amendment, but also added
another, providing for submitting
separately to the people tho choice
or|Atlaota or Milledgevllle us.t he seat
of government.
If we understand the logic of this
cross voting, it 1b this: The .Senators
who distrust tho wish of the people
for a Convention hold the controlling
vote in their body, and they do not
want to take tbo responsibility of
calling It without first ascertaining
the will of the people. The friends
of the Convention in the House are
not willing to submit to the people
the simple question of calling the
Convention, fearing that all the
friends of Atlanta as the seat of
government will vote against the call
and aid in defeating it. They there
fore propose to disconnect tho ques
tion of the seat of government from
the call of the Convention, so as to
let the question of holding the Con
vention bo decided on its own merits.
Having oftentimes, during the last
three or four years, urged the impor
tance of disconnecting the question
of the seut of government from
the other work of the proposed Con
vention, we need hardly say that we
favor the passage of the bill as it now
stands, and hope that the Senate will
concur in the House amendment. If
factious opposition by the especial
friends of Atlanta threatens to pre
vent its passage in this shape, we
think that they can be brought to
terms by the passage by the two
Houses of au amendment of the Con
stitution authorizing the removal,
and the submission of this amend
ment separately to a vote of the peo
ple. We are indifferent as to a choice
between Atlanta and Miiledgsville,
but we want to see the spirit of fac
tion rebuked when it interposes lo
cal interests as an obstruction to
measures of great general public im
portance.
Don Platt on Mmon's Drrarh.
The town is all agog with fun over
a breach of promise suit brought by
a buxom widow against my benevo
lent old highwayman, Simon Came
ron. Simon is very old. The memo
ry of mao runneth not to the contra
ry in Pennsylvania when Simou was
not engaged in the purchase of Leg
islatures or making money from the
public treasury. He is such an an
tique of animated rascality that,
could he have been spared from the
Senate, he would have been put un
der a glass ease at the Centennial and
labelled, “Useless, but very rare and
curious.” In the Senate he is called,
"Old Palsy, from Pennsylvania,” and
when he rises his bones rattle so as
to be heard in the galleries. The idea
of suing such an old codger for a
breach of marriage contract is ex
tremely ludicrous.
The writ was served upon him in
the Senate Chamber. The appear
ance of a sheriff’s officer on the floor
created a sensation, and around the
writ as it rested on Simon’s desk the
solemn old-time boys walked, look
ing at it very like a lot of crows eye
ing a steel-trap with an egg in it.
Old Christiancy gazed sadly at Simon,
and said:
“Better have married her, Simon ;
better have married her, old cock.
And out of the Treasury, tool”
Sitting Bull chuckled and winked,
and wanted to know if Simon had
jumped from a window or done any
thing of that sort.
Old Hannibal Hamlin buttoned in
a feeble manner his blue swallow
tail, and gazed at Simon with all the
intensity of expression found in the
eyes of a deceased mackerel.
“Find a good apple-sass lawyer,”
cried Logan, “and prove an alibi."
Z. Chandler threw his arms affec
tionately about the neck of Simon
and said:
“Sit on her, sit on her, old codger,
I’ll help you.”
Jones, of Nevada, offered to go Si
mon's bail, provided the child was
acknowledged and kept out of the
way of Chandler, whose infernal
propensity to sit on something has
been shown in no end of crushed hats
of late.
Simon first encountered the fair
widow in New Orleaus when one of
that famous pleasure party organ
ized to visit Mexico. Simon, under
the influouce of the Southern sun and
some old whiskey, not only made
love to the widow, hut inveigled her
to Washington, where lie had her
quartered on the Treasury. From
time to time he promised marriage.
Now, it is said, tne fair complainant,
is in possession of certain love-letters
badly written and wretchedly spell
ed, for Simon is not “one of them
litterrary fellers,” to use his own
phraseology, such as Sumner. These
literary efforts at love-making will
prove interesting reading, while cer
tain spicy, but scandalous stories,
will add zest to the proceedings.
When asked if he wouldn’t compro
mise, the old fellow said :
“Certainly I will; she may kiss my
foot.”
That is what this dignified Senator
from Pennsylvania call3 a compro
mise. I). P.

NARROW ESCAPE OP THREE HUNDRED SOL
DIERS FROM THE FATE OF CUSTER,
Cheyenne, W. TANARUS., February 13. —A
Red Cloud Agency Special to the Chey
enne Sun says: lied Jack, an Indian run
ner from Crazy Horse village, brings the
particulars of a fight which occurred near
there about Januury 3d. This runner has
been closely questioned by different par
ties,but he adheres steadily to the follow
ing, which he told yesterday to General
Crook and other officers;
About a month ago the main body of
hogtiles, consisting of eight hundred lod
ges, was encamped on Tongue River, near
the mouth of Hanging Woman’s creek.
A small band ol Cheyennes were encamp
ed further down, and about January 3d
they discovered some 350 infantry advanc
ing from the direction of the Yellowstone.
A skirmish insued, the Indians retreating
to the main village. The small squad of
savages gave the alarm, and a large force
of the Crazy Horse warriors advanced
eighteen miles down Tongue River to
meet the soldiers. A few Indians Were
thrown forward as a decoy, while the re
mainder arranged themselves along the
canon to ambush ttie advancing troops.
According to Red Jack, however, the
Indian skirmishers were not followed,
and, after a desultory fire of three or four
hours, the military returned northward by
the same route it bad advanced, The In
dians had three men badly' wounded, two
of whom died. The village has since
moved westward, to the head-waters of
the Rosebud
The Mavnelle Iron Ure of Western
North Carolina.

Something more than a year since
Gen. John T. Wilder and Messrs. D.
and E. Reese, of this city, purchased
about one hundred thousand acres of
laud on Reams Mountain, in Mliohell
county, North Carolina, on which is
one of the most valuable veins of
iron ore in the world. The tract is
twenty-four miles long by seven iu
width aud is tweuty-ttve miles from
the line of the East Tennessee. Vir
ginia & Georgia railroad, from which
a branch road is beiug built to the
ore banks. Sixteen miles of this
branch road is graded and bridged,
aud live and a half miles of the track
laid, while the cross-ties are finished
for the entire distance.
The ore is a magnetic black oxide,
and contains 00 to 07 per cent, ol
metallic iron, aDd is entirely free
from phosphorus und sulphur. It is
in a metamorphic formation, and is
associated with horn blende and
gneiss as walls. The vein is a wide,
vertical one, running north 70degrees
east, crossing the crooked State line
twice in the twenty-four miles,and Is
supposed to be much the largest vein
of magnetic ore in the world. It is
called the "Cranberry vein,” from an
old forge at Cranberry hill, on the
east of the vein, which has been run
ning for fifty years.
We were shown several bars of cast
steel made by two processes from this
ore, the first being hammering from
the ore direct in a Catalan forge, and
then reduced iu crucibles by the
Crescent Steel Works, of Pittsburg,
Pa., who pronounce it lully equal to
the best Swedish brands.
Gen. Wilder has had it carefully
tested by prominent manufacturers
of cutlery iu Sheffield, Euglaud, and
several hundred pieces of cutlery
made therefrom. Last May he sent
some iron to Messrs. Brooks &
Crooks, who are among the oldest
and most reliable manufacturers in
Sheffield, having been established
over a century. Their report was
received a few days since, accompa
nied by an invoice of two hundred
dozen razors and pocket-kuives made
from the iron seut them with oue
conversion. They pronounce it fully
equal to the best they have ever
used for tempering aud finishing
qualities, as it appears to retuiu its
toughness at an extremely high tem
per aud is consequently less liable to
break. Gen. Wilder whittled a teu
penuy nail from a knife made of this
steel, after which the edge showed
no sign of hard usage.
The steel retains its magnetic
properties, und blocks made trom it
will attract tho needle as strongly
as the raw ore.

INTERESTING FACTS THAT WERE BROUGHT
OUT IN THE METHuDIST MINISTER’S
MEETING.
At the Methodist minister’s meet
ing, yesterday, the Rev. Mr. Day, of
Yale College, Secretary of the Amer
ican branch of the Committee for the
revision of tne Bible, made public
some facts in regard to the plan of
the revision and progress ot the work.
He wished it to be understood that
the alterations from King James’
translation are being made upon a
conservative plan, and will uotiu any
way tend to overthrow the establish
ed doctrines of anf Christian denom
ination. Some fault has been foun t
here because the American branch
are working behind the British
brunch, or, in other words, takiug
the revised sheets that come from the
hands of the British gentlemen, and
acting upon them second hand.
There is, however, no good ground
for fault-fiudiug, as the American
gentlemen are at liberty to make any
alterations they please, and are in no
way hampered by British rule. For
the final decision of disputed ques
tions in the revisions, aud the ulti
mate sanction aud adoption of the
whole work when completed, there
will probably be a joiut meeting of
both the America* and British
branches of the committee.
Tire Rev. Dr. Strong, a member of
the American branch of the Bible
Revision Committee, said that the
committee were in a measure under
a pledge of secrecy. Debates of hours
and even days in length upon single
words had been had in the commit
tee. Every change from King .Tames’
translation will have to be sanction
ed by two-thirds of the members of
both branches.
The Rev. Dr. Joseph Pullman said
that the committee have found a
verse in King James’ Bible that will
probably not be printed in the new
Bible, because it is not in the old
authenticated manuscripts. It is the
4th verse of the sth chapter of John,
which tells the story of the ungel
coming down and troubling the wa
ters of the pool of Bethseda. The
new Bible will be the “authenticated
Word or God.”
The Rev. Mr. Holdrleh objected to
the premature publications of the
plans, action, and progress of the
work of the committee. Rethought
it best to wait until the work is com
pleted, and then have the new Bible
published.
The Rev. Dr. Curry also protested
against cursory discussion of the
new Bible, as it tends to coufuse and
mislead the people.
A resolution to continue the Bible
discussion on Monday next was ta
bled almost unanimously.— N. T
Sun, 13th.
