Democratic Gathering at White Sulphur Springe. Ki:VI.\TK RAIDS IX TEXMISSEE. Washington, June 26.—The latest programme outlined by the adminis tration to shelve its Southwestern elephants, is to give Postmaster General Key the Supreme Judgeship, Bristow tlie Circuit Juegeship, and General Pillow the missiou to Mexi co. Tyner will become Postmaster General. Yesterday a storm extended from the lakes to the Ohio river, and at last accounts had reached Columbus, Ohio. But few fatalities are report ed. The weather report of this morning indicates that the storm had exhausted itself. No cautionary signals are ordered. It is asserted on good authority, that Messrs. Cox, Morrison, Sayler, Goode and Blackburn have signified their intention to be on hand at the Democratic gathering at White Sul phur Springs, next month, which promises to be large. Tbe trial of Deputy Marshal Frank, of North Carolina lias commenced. Five evidently irregular vouchers were exhibited. The evidence thus far shows nothing against Marshal Douglass. The President lias recognized Ra mon Solos Montblanck as Consul of Peru in the State of Ga. The War Department has nothing farther regarding the Indian war, W. Wiley Weils, Consul Genera! to China, left for Mississippi to-night. He leaves for China on the 15th of July. The Secretary of the Navy has issued a circular ordering that poli tics shall not be considered in em ploying workmen at the Navy Yards. Revenue Agent Browuslow reports from Kuoxville, a raid in Hancock county, resulting in the capture of Dol Ray and Bird Rains, ring-leaders in the act of violating the law, and the destruction of two stills, fourteen still houses, and a large lot of mate rials. They also brought in about a dozen small offenders. lliiiiKiuy Tlirenienins. Pesth, June 26.—T0-day, in the House of tbe Hungarian Diet, Count Appony and Herr Kellay urged the necessity of maintaining the integri ty of Turkey. Herr Tisga, Premier, in reply, said the last Cabinet Coun cil had decided against the occupa tion of foreign territory or mobiliza tion of troops, but Austro-Hungary would not suffer neighboring territo ry to be taken by a foreign power. Old I.lnyd Garrison Kedlvlvu*. London, June 26. —At a breakfast given by the Committee of the Anti- Slavery Society to Lloyd Garrison, he reviewed the slavery question, and praised President Grant’s South ern policy. He said he thought President Hayes had taken a false step in yielding to the South. Hayes’ Reception at Itoston. Boston, June 26.—The review oc copied over half an hour. The streets and sidewalks of Washington street were thronged with people, crowding and pushing, and windows, housetops and every available space had occupants. All along the route cheers and waving of handkerchiefs from windows, housetops and every point of observation greeted tbe President. WEATHER INDICATIONS. War Department, I Office of Chief Signal Officer, [ Washington, June 26, 1877. ) For the South-Atlantic and Gulf States: Nearly stationary pressure and temperature, southerly winds, clear or partly cloudy weather, and possibiy occasional light showers, are indicated for to-morrow (Wednes day.) _ The Plot to Blow Up the Snez Canal. London, June 26. — A speoial from Alexandria, Egypt, says the report recently published of a conspiracy to blow up the Suez Canal was based on authentic information. The Khedive is taking effective measures to prevent such an attempt on land, while a sea-police is being organized under the command of two English officers. THE WAR IN EUROPE, MOVEMENTS SOUTH OF THE DANUBE. Russians Advancing, and Turks Falling Back Towards tlieir Balkan De fences. FIERCE ROM BAR DM EXT OK R I ST. CIIV K. ENGLISH CONSULATE DESTROYED. London, June 26.— The Standard has the following from Vienna : It is supposed the Czar will leave Bucharest for Alexandria, to be pres ent at the crossing thereabouts,which is expected either Tuesday or Thurs day. A fearful contest is expected at Rustchuk. Eight hundred cases of typhoid are in the Russian hospitals. Constantinople, June 26.—1 t is re ported that the English consulate at Rustchuk has been entirely destroyed by the bombardment. London, June 26.—The Pout's Bu charest special says: The corps now entering the Dobrudseha is ordered to advance quickly up to the line of the Czernavoda and Kustendj.* i ail way. After their arrival, the right wing of the centre army will force a passage higher up the stream. The Daily News’ dispatch from Rustchuk, Sunday night, says: The bombardment of this town by the Russians is terrible. The Turks stand the tire with great coolness. They reply vigorously and with good aim. Shells have fallen in town and killed two prisoners; several non combatauts killed and wounded. Shots have struck the German, Eng lish and Belgium consulates. Shells have burst near the Hospital, but tbe Russian fire seems directed to ttie centre of the town. The Daily News’ special from Ib rail reports that the Turks have re treated towards Medidje, on the line of the Kustendje railroad. The whole north end of the Dob rudschais abandoned. It is not like ly that they will make a stand this side of Silistria. The 11th corps, under Gen. Zim merrnann, will cross the river as rap idly as possible, and will be joined by the 4th corps, now in the direc tion of Reni, and will march South with the greatest despatch. It is not known yet whether this army will form a column of advance be tween Varna and Stiumla. It seems probable that to these two corps will fall the duty of reducing Silistria and perhaps Shumla. It is further likely another passage of the Danube will be attempted somewhere between Guergevo and Turni-Magruelli, within the next few days, without awaiting General Zimmermann’s advance, which can not be available to the Turks’ posi tion about, Rustchuk, under three weeks. London, June 26. -A special dis patch from Vienna to tbe Times has the following: In Constantinople tbe agitation against Redif Pasha, Minister of War, and all the military authorities is on the increase. The success in Montenegro, so far from calming the excitement, has rather increased it, it being deemed down right folly, almost treason, that in order to gain success at a. compara tively trifling point, the important theatre of war in Asia should have been so willfully neglected. The Turkish losses in Montenegro during the recent engagements were 10,000. Rustchuk, June 26. —The bombard ment of this place continued all yes terday. English agents report that the English consulate, which had a large Union Jack floating, seems to have been singled out for a concen trated force, and was completely de stroyed. The President on hi* Travels. New York, June 26. —President Hayes and party arrived to-night on their way to Boston. He was ac companied by Secretary Evarts and Schurz, Attorney General Devens and Postmaster General Key. The train reaehed Jersey city an hour behind time. The Presidential car was taken on a steamer and convey ed to the Harlem end of the New York and New Haven Railroad. The party will reach Boston at half past eight to-morrow morning.

The Storm In the Went. Chicago, June 28.—The damages by the storm will not exceed $20,000. Five thousand trees in Douglass Park were blown down. Jacksonville, 111., June 26.— The damage to wheat in this county, by the storm is estimated at SIOO,OOO. Cincinnati, June 26. —The damage to crops incalculable. It extends along the entire length of the storm. COLUMBUS. GA.. WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 27, 1877. Arrlilil*lio|i llnllt). New York, June 26.—The Balti more dispatch in regard to i.lio ap pointment. of Bishop Gibbons, of Richmond, to be Archbishop of Baltimore, vice Archbishop Bailey, calls for some explanation. For some mouths Archbishop Bailey lias been in exceedingly bad health and threat ened with softening of the brain, which is now said to have supervened and hopelessly incapacitated him for further active service in the church. In February, Bishop Bailey went to Europe for the recovery of his health, but his malady developed so rapidly that on his arrival there it was found necessary to convey him to Trnppist monastery, iu the north of France, where he now remains.

A horrible plot to blow up steam ships with dynamite- the mayor TO CALL OUT THE MILITARY IF NECESSARY. j;y Telegraph to the Daily Nation.] Montreal, Canada, June 22. A j horrible plot lias been revealed to-day. Several reckless ship labor ers, maddened with drink, yesterday went to a number of powder dealers and endeavored to. purchase several cases of dynamite, offering to pay cash. The dealers refused to sell it unless they brought orders from responsible parties. It was discoved this afternoon that there was a de sign to blow up the steamships, whose agents had refused to pay the wages demanded. Sir Hugh Alien, Mr. Camp, the mayor, chief of police and city attorney, had a consultation this evening in regard to turning out the military. Arrangements were made to read the riot act and turn them out in case of necessity. Mr. Magnaut, a labor agent, and a friend, while returning through St. Surplice street this afternoon from taking a gang to work on the the steamer Pe ruvian, were set upon and nearly killed, O’Neil, the ringleader, was arrested. Great excitement prevails. The police are under arms. Guests Whom Judge Hilton Would Hot Entertain. Wliat ilie "*un" Kay*. What an illustrious company would have to be turned out of our summer hotels if the Jews were not admitted ! The great lawgiver, Moses, could not have a room, even ir returning from the study of the wisdom of the Egyp tians he sought shelter. The immor tal poet, Isaiah, would not be esteem ed suiatble company, and would be obliged to seek a less aristocratic tavern. King Solomon, whoso words of wisdom will instruct the world for thousands of years, would have to take uj> his lodging in a second-class house. King David, over whose songs the whole Cnristan world lingers, would not be allowed by the gentle man-like clerk to enter his sacred name ou the hotel register. St. Paul, who laid the foundations of modern theology, was a man of an appearance so poor and mean, bar ring bis being a Jew, that no model hotel would think of admitting him. St. John was so rapt in his visions of heavenly scenes that the hotel clerk would indubitately have sent for a police officer to carry him off if he had appeared at the desk seeking a suitable room, while tbe exclusive patrons of the hotel would at once have packed up their baggage if the idea of the admittance had for a mo ment been entertained. Spionza, Neaxder, Mendelssohn, David, Ku benstein,and|bosts of others conspic uous in letters and arts would have to depart amid the sneers of the ex clusive guests. Disraeli, the Earl of Beaconsfield, the Prime Minister of England, could not enter there, for he is a Jew, aDd bears in his linea ments the unmistakable mark of his descent. The hotel clerk would de tect him at once, and see the damage his presence in the mode house would do. -♦ ♦ ■ The quantity of pork and other im proper food consumed is enormous and produces its inevitable results in innumerable types of disease, es pecially those of the blood, exhibit-; ed in pimples, blotches, sores, etc., all of which, however, yield rapidly and surely to Dr. Bull’s Blood Mix ture.

From Urn NVarreuton Clipper.] The Convention is now an assured fact, and hence the discussion of questions hitherto inexpedient or of doubtful policy may now bo entered upou. We are not of those who have seeu lit. during the campaign to argue, magnify, and Pi ing into prom inence questions upon which the people were divided. Our theory was first to get the Convention, and then leave tho discussion of iiues tions to be considered by it until af ter it was an assured fact. That time has now come, the people have spoken, and now it is in order for the press representing tho feelings of its patrons to proceed to put forth a re flex of their opinions on important subjects. One of tho questions which will ! come before that Convention will bo i tile removal of the capital; indeed, it lias well nigh, if not in fact, been an I issue in the campaign. We are de jcidedly of the opiuion, and believe j we reflect the sentiment of our peo j pie when we say that the capital ought to be returned to MilledgeviUo. We are not one of those who light Atlanta because it is Atlauta. aud I stigmatize it ns the fountain source |of all evil. Wo like Atlanta; she has ! many clever people within Her I borders; she is a part of Georgia, aud j for her energy, push and vim wo nd j mire tier, and as a Georgian wi are proud of her. Hence, wuat we may ; say in support of our theory tnat the capital ought to be removed to Mil ledgeville shall bo in a spirit of ut most fairness to our present capital city. But thi3 question of the capital re moval is not. one that should be in fluenced by local causes. No mere question of sentiment, or mere theo ry of fitness on account of ttiisorthat minor matter should influence this question. There should be but one ooject, and that object should be the good of the State of Georgia and the welfare of the people who make the State of Georgia and pay the taxes to support its government. If this convention is intended to do any thing at all, it is intended to cut dowu the expenses of running the government machine, and to such a reforming of every department as shall give to the people a more economical aud inexpen sive, even if it is a more plebeian form of government. We claim that this can be done easier in Milledgeville than in Atlan ta. It is less expensive to live there, and even if it is less elegant, our State officials must be content to live wherever the people they serve see lit to put them. In Atlanta we have a capitol building that has to be barred to the public on any exciting occasion lest the rush of the multi tude should crush it to the earth. In Milledgeville we have a capitol emi nently fitted and suited to tho pur poses for which it was built. Ridicule it as they may, “the hails of our fa thers” is a building the like of which Atlanta cannot show. In Milledge vilia we have a Governor’s mansion fit for tlie occupancy of our Chief Magistrate. In Atlanta wo have a cottage, completely overshad owed by Mr. John H. James’palatial residence, and which lias to be repaired regularly every winter. Here, too,is located the penitentiary, the asylum, and all the machinery of tlie government, all right here in easy reach of the capitol, where it can be overlooked by the represen tatives of the people without any long and expensive trips to and fro. Then, again, the temperature of At lanta at the season of the year when lim Legislature is hold is one that almost invariably produces sickness among the members from the more southern portion of tlie State, while Milledgeville is free from this and has none of these draw bunks to en counter. To sum up tlie whole mat ter in one line, whether there is any other reason or not, tho people of Georgia want it moved back and t his is enough. It ought to be done. - • -♦• Tlie Fall Election*. The first election to be held during die present year will be that of Kentucky. August 6. A Governor and a Legislature are to he elected, and the Legislature will choose a United States Senator in place of Thos. (J. McCreery, whose term expires in 1879. Vermont will vote lor State officers September 4; Maine will elect State officers September it); and it is possible that a secret warfare, if not an open one, between the Hayes and Blaine factions of the Republician party may bring about some strange developernents. in September 6, California will elect a Governor. In 1875 Irwin (Democrat) was elected Governor by a majority of 485 over both the Republican aud Inde pendent candidates. Tlie Legislature to he elected will choose a United States Senator in place of Aaron A. Sargent (Republican), whose term expires in 1879. In tlie present Legislature the Democratic majority on joint ballot is 54. It is safe to say that a Democrat will succeed Sargent. The lowa and Ohio elections occur October 9. Both States elect State officers, and in Ohio tbe Legislature to be elected will choose a United States Senator in place of Stanley Matthews (successor to John Sherman), whose terms expires in 1879. The November elections are those of Massachusetts, Mississippi, New York Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin, nil of which occur November 0. THE ST, JOHNS FI HE. HEAVY LOSSES BY TnE INSURANCE COM- j PANIES. Montreal, June 22.—Tlie insur ances ou the losses by the St. Johns’ fire, are, so far as heard from, as fol lows : The Nortii British and Mer cantile held risks of $600,000, and their supposed loss is from $900,000 to $500,000. St. Adaacona losses $250,000; Royal Canadian, $300,000; the Citizens about $200,000; National, $75,000; British American, $270,000; Commercial Union of London, $250,- 000; Royal of Loriden. $500,000; Liver pool, London and Globe, $7ou,000; the Queen, Northern, Imperial aud Guardian, each $500,000. The others not heard from. Relief is being sent from all points throughout tho Do minion. Old Ben Tappau once replied to a man who was denouncing him : “Sir, I will pay no attention to anything you have said. No remark that you can make will draw any respoQ.se from me, sir. I have known you now forty years, sir, and you were a damn dog when I first knew you. and you have been failin’ ever since.” URAIN IV OR It IN I‘AIIIK. THE TERRIBLE CONDITION OF JOURNAL ISTS AND AUTHORS. When brain work is not tlie noblest of all tbe professions, it is the vilest of all the trades. Despair, envy, hatred, destitution, vioe amt madness are at an end, sometimes in the mid dle of this contemptible career, in which money is tho only aim, iu which debauch beeomesan incentive, and drunkenness a muse. Look at that miserable young fel low, over there, with his contorted features, yellow cheeks, grimacing mouth, and vagabond eyes, lit) wus born to walk free aud joyful behind a plow, and proudly to sow the seed of the next harvest. In the evening, at the farmer’s fire-place, he would have eaten tho bread lie had earned during tho day. Every step, every movement of his would have vivified something. And now look at him iu this vast city, pressing day aud night iiis poor head between his two hands to squeeze out of it tales and adven tures for a hungry crowd, who de vour him to-day and take to some body else to-morrow, if nothing more can be got out of him. For a more or less extended period of time he will make Henriettes mar ry Authurs, will some husbands catch lovers, will poison some of them, and send others to the guillo tine, keepiug, of course, tho sensa tional interest duly alive till tho end jof the chapter or tlie fuilleton. Ho will sell everything in succession; love, jealousy, tears, history, scandal, slang, satire, morals, laudation, in sults, polities, sentiment, obscenity, religion -iu a word, everything out of which manuscript can be made, at from two to live cents a line, accord ing to the momentary taste of the public or the tendencies of this or that journal. When ho shall have eaten up his own contents, he will live upon the contents of others. He will patch up old comrnedies and novels; warm up the arrus of past centuries, lie will swallow whole libraries and second-hand book shops. He wants ideas, anecdotes, witty sayings, pleasure, money, and notoriety. No time to be lost now! He must get celebrity. Once cele brated, lie is quoted. Once quoted, he is rich. The journal goes to press, the theatre canuot wait, and there is no time left to get up anything. What does it matter y Two or three men of us will put ourselves together and spend nights at work. And the bodily force, where is it to come from? We will take strong black coffee. And the inspiration? We will take absinthe. Go on, human brains! Throw out sentences, lines, pages, and volumes! Swell yourself like a sponge and squeeze yourself like a lemon, till you dry out and out, till lunacy and paralysis take possession of you, till besottedness strikes you, and death comes to finish tho whole. Meanwhile, we will enter the home of this celebrity. What we find there is disorder and indigence; an old mistress, of whom lie made his wife iu a moment of lvrism or exhaustion ; some unhappy children already dres sed in black and crying, without much knowing what about. The air of the room is still full of yesterday’s tobacco smoke. He liked smoking so much, poor fellow! He was often told that smoking was bad for him, but he was unable to give it up. Oh, what jollv davs had been spent in this room at the time of the little so and-so!” A number of friends escort him to the cemetery ; nossibly a sight seeing or sympathetic crowd will join them, for the deceased was much liked. He used to be so jolly at times! A lot of anecdotes are told of him; speeches are delivered ovor his grave; a flat tombstono is placed on hi* nose; the friends return to the city to take a bite ; some obituary notices are gotten up at once; for two or three days the journalists iive on him ; a subscription is started for a monument; the government is in formed of the sad occurrence; a pen sion is obtained for the widow and a scholarship for one of the children; and all this done, tlie surviving friends rush to resume the very same frenzied life which killed him. Fare well ! thou great man of a year, a month or a day. Quiet be thy sleep, now that eternal night has come. It is info this pandemonium, into tins penitentiary, into these sowers that, thousands of young men rusti, with a good-natured, frank smile on their lips, believihg that they will meet there fortune and reputation as easily us one meets a cart on the highroad. They would not stick to ordinary labor, obscure and requir ing patience, but certain in its resnlts and sure to make a man robust, serene respected, useful and good. I have gone myself through these horrible swamps in the beginning of my career. I come out shivering and pale, terrified by wliat I had seen. Aud I become still terrified when now and then I have to go hack there to shake tho tiand of an old comrade, or to take tiis body and carryitto a place of rest, I would have been dead long ago if I had remained there. Blessed bo tho Lord of tile destinies of the universe, for his hav iug shown mo tho way to get out, and for having commuted my sen tence. No, Dante, whoso name is invariably invoked when people invariable speak of abominable tor tures, could not have dreamed of this dammed production of intellect, which rolls its own head as Sisyphus rolled his stouo and knocks it against iton walls to get out of it a last little spark. Alexander Dumas. The Merchants’ Hank of Montreal, Special to tbe World.] Montreal, June 22.— The annual report or the Merchants’ Bank, is sued to-day by the new general man ager in advance of the annual meet ing, shows a loss on capital by debts of twenty-live per cent,., and shares are to be reduced that amount,. The detailed result of the examination by Mr. Hague and the committee has been appointed to write off $633,000 bad debts, $533,000 losses or securi ties of doubtful character, $198,704 losses by the New York branches, and $223,991 expenses attending tho operations of the Quebec goverment al loan to date. While these amounts are large, it is thought they are not all entirely irrecoverable. The cap-1 ital, when reduced, will then be over $6,000,000, and the hank will still be the second largest in the Do minion. Great confidence is ex pressed in tho stability and opera tions of the bank and its ability to earn future dividends. Sir Hugh Al la i resigned the chairmanship a short time since. Till* Fill lire 111 I lie West. A gentleman who has spent many years in the Western Territories, lias travelled extensively in all of them, aud is thoroughly familiar with tlieir topography and resources, gives tlie following estimate of the maximum population they are likely to attain aud support: Colorado 200,(100 Now M0x100.... 1715.000 Wyoming 1(0,01(0 Washington.... 150 uoo Dakota 176,000 Nevada 73,000 Montana 200.0(H) Idaho 125.000| Total... .1,400,000 j Utah 200,000 | He adds Nevada aud Colorado to ' tho list because they are Suites only ' in form of government,and resemble the teritories iu tne poverty of soil 1 and incapacity for much further do i velopmeut. This estimate, if cor rect—aud it is sustained by the best information that comes from army officers and scientific travelers—has an important bearing upon many in teresting publiequestions. The time is at hand when there will be no vsst arcus of fertile land tempting tlie emigrant to the West. Even now the limit of profitable agricultural settlement in Western Nebraska and Kansas has been reached. Beyond stretoh vast plains available for grazing purposes only where water can be obtained. Further west comes the region of mountains and table lands, where 110 rain falls, aud i where agriculture is only practicable along the banks of rivers or in a few localities where water can be obtain ed lor irrigation from tho streams formed by the melting snows ou tbe mountains. These localities are rare because the mountain peaks aud chains are for the most part bare of snow in summer. West of the Rocky Mountains and their lateral ranges, the sage-brush desert, utterly worth less for culture, extends to the Sierras. Washington Territory has different characteristics from tlie elevated rainless interior region, but timber is its chief resource, and farming is confined to a few valleys. The section of country described has an area greater than that of all tho States east of the Mississippi river, but its population a century hence will probably uot equal that of Massachusetts to-day. Each territo ry, by making the most of its mining and farming resources, may acquire population sufficient to entitle it to admission as a State, but not one is likely to ever iiave more than a sin gle member of Congress. Except in the Senate the relative power of the East and the West will not there fore be much changed in the future. There will bo few’ more new States erected iu the present generation. Colorado was only admitted after a long light. Nevada ought to be set back into a Territorial condition. Her population is less than 50,000, and it is uot to be expected that she will ever have as many inhabitants as in the old States are requisite to form a Congressional district. The influence which the cessation of the movement of population West may have upon the social, industrial and political phases of our national life opens a wide field for thought and discussion. Looked at iu one way it will bo an evil day when there is no more virgin soil awaiting the ploughshare of the farmer, no new towns springing up and inviting the enterprise of the young men of the East, no region for tlie restless and unfortunate to flee to with the hope of bettering their condition. But there is anoth er view to take, and it will probably be the view taken by tho social scien tist. It is that high civilization is inconsistent with sparse settlement, and that culture, wealth and happi ness will rather increase than dimin ish when the population of tho whole country is much more dense than at present, and the vacant spaces are tilled up that have been skipped in the rush to the West.— Cor, New York Tribune. ————— ■ii—ii ■■iniiiiniiir.nrßiw-.^w.w.wji FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

Ayer’s Hair Vigor , For restoring Gray Hair to its natural Vitality and Color. original color, with the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, 1 cured by its use. Nothing can re-' store the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or tho glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness.' Free from those deleterious sub stances which make some prepara tions dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a f HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desir able. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cam bric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. VRETARED BY Dr. J. C.
