▲ Bo* too m»n Wu ouraing aft •dit€f, the
Other day, when he fed deed. Seterel eiimler
instances hare been lately reported.
Ask a Bt. Louis man about Chicago, and he
will admit there is mich a piaoe in Illinois, but
will add, " It is all mortgaged to Boston.”
Taking advantage of it. A “loyalist” adver
tises in the Pans papers for a loan of 3,G00f.
and offern the security of his “word of honor.'
When they told Jim Oxford, of Virginia,
that he was dying, he replied, “ Wall, don t
forget to put them shingLes on the mule pen
afore it rains again."
A thought leas exchange says: “A philoso
pher remarks thst ths hsppiest women, like
tLs hsppiest nations, hsvs no history." And
pray whsre is the philosophy in such stuff ?
No woman is happiest until she is well mated
and married, when, if she has no history, she
is at least making history.
A sample of s great many of the appoint
ments Or sot is making has just been develop
ed. Since the confirmation of E. C. flammi*.
of Florida, to be Consul at Stuttgart, attention
has been called to the fact that charges are on
file in the State Department affirming that he
absconded from Washington without paying
his boarding house and tailors* bills.
An exchange tells us thst *'a Pennsylvania
auctioneer sold a muff worth $lO for f22 and
dropped dead while t iking the money.” This
is s very strange story. If the purchaser really
thought he bad bought the muff cheap enough,
it was certainly very ungentlemaniy in the auc
tioneer to hurt bis feeling** by such singular
conduct right in the midst of the transaction.
The New York Commercial Advertiser says :
Miss Lucy Langdon Nowell, of Alfred, Me.,
the woman who was to be tenderly borne to
Philadelphia, to grace the coming Centennial
Exposition, having been born July 4, 1776, very
inconsiderately and seditiously died at her
hi,me, in Massachusetts, the other day. With
her, so far as is known, perishes ths last of all
the babies whose natal screams mingled with
the wild clangor of Independence bells.
A dispatch from Chicago of the 10th inst.
states that an application was made to Judge
Farwell. of the Circuit Court, for an injunction
restraining Hew. Charles R Cheney, lately ap
pointed Itinerant Uishop for the West, by the
Reformed Episo -pal Church, from further ex
ercising power as a minister of the Episcopal
Church. The application is made on behalf of
several members of Dr. Cheney s chnrch, who
have opposed his course for some time past.
Ths increase of the public debt this mouth
is put st tweivs million dollars, riecretary
Richardson has written a letter to Mr. Dawes,
in which he estimates the increase at five mil
lions at the present time. Whatever maybe
the amount, the fact is sufficient to sho# that
additional taxation is necessary, and so van
ishes the much-vaunted “free breakfast table"
under a tax on tea and coffee, both of which
the Secretary recoin me da be placed in the
tariff.
From her home in Chiseihurst the widow of
Napoleon 111 is still endeavoring to regain for
her son the lost influence of the Napoleonic
dynasty. Her utterances intended for the pub
lic ear are carefully worded, and, it must be
eonfeesed. are geuoraily marked by discretion
end good taste There is no doubt that the
hopes of the ex-Empress are to-day higher
than they have been since the death of the
man of Sedan.
Commodore Rogers has at last taken a survey
of the Navy Yard at New York, and has taken
notice of that coal barge before the dry dock, \
n which Mi# Arapiles lies. 'The barge is slowly
settling in the soft mud, end ths difficulty in
rsising it increases daily What a magnificent
aavy the United States possesses ! Scarcely a

It now appears that ten Administration Sena
tors who were present in the United States
Senate when the ballot for President pro tem.
was taken could not swallow Carpenter, even
with President Grant's letter of endorsement,
and refused to vote on the question. Thirty
two Senators stood up to their work and elected
the salary grabber and the defender of salary ,
grabbers, and the apologist for the Credit
Mobilier frauds, to preside over them.
Let us add to the gallery of famous ecceu- (
trice, Samuel Darwin, who has just died at the j
ago of eighty-one. For twenty years he never
left his bed -though in good health—and sel- j
dom spoke. His appetite never failed; bin 1
■leep waH sound and his health good. His case |
is recommended to the attention of those who j
advocate regular exercise in the open air as ab- j
aolufely essential to bodily well being. The
lasy old skulker was waited oa by his daughter
until the last, and died naturally and quietly—
which was probebly the best thing he could do.
The device of exempting the Judges of the
Hnpreme Court from the effects of salary re
peal, in common with the President, is a clever
partisan trick to evade the odium of leaving
the latter official alone in his glory of grab, by
associating With him some respectable gentle
men who never lobbied for the increase. The
trick is rather transparent, indicating on the
part of the Radical managers, a low estimate
of the popular intelligence. It is, besides, lit-]
tie loss than an insult to ths oeoupants of the
Hnpreme Bench.
Mr. Buskin said, the other day, in one of his
Oxford lectures, that “Pope is the most per
fect representative we have, since Chaucer, of
the true English mind ; and he adds that hi*
hearers will find, as they study Pope, that he
has expressed for them, “in the strictest lan
guage, and within the briefest limits, every
law of art, of criticism, of e onomy, of policy,
and finally of a benevolence, hutnblo, rational
and rosigned, contented with its allotted shave
of life, and trusting the problem of its salva
tion to Him in whose hand lies that of the uni
verse. '*
The Washington correspon lent of theCinciu
einnati (Jiwtle says the general impression is
that the Military Committee will report in fa
vor of a requisition upon tho Secretary of War
to convene a court of inquiry to consider and
report to the Secretary upon the whole subject
of the management of the Freedman's Bureau
instead of a c urt martial, to try any of its offi
cers If the correspondent had said that an
exteunive white-washing job was to be per
formed in that way, he would have stated the
case exactly.
Through the instrumentality of Mr. Dupuis,
her British Majesty's Vice-Consul at Adriano
pie, the attention of the Porte has been
drawn to the extensive slave traffic carried on
by the Circassian residents iu that town and in
their neighboring villages, who systematically
sell their children, male and female, as soon as
they reach a marketable age. The Porte has
sent stringent orders to Hadji Izaet Pasha,
Governor General of the Province, to take
promptly such measures as he may deem best
•aloulated to suppress it.
From Bayonne we hear that ths Carlists j
have captured the poor little town of Berga—
threatened often, and of email consequence. |
More importaat is it to know that the lighting
priest, the celebrated Cure of Santa Cru*. the
most romantic figure of this struggle, has
again ventured into Spam, and has been taken. |
He will be tried by conrt martial. From Mad- j
rid a brief dispatch conveys the indefinite in
telligence that the Carlist insurrection is de
•reasing. It has been decreasing ever since it i
tret started, according to Madrid advices.
A curious occurrence agitates society in Buf
falo. A wealthy widow lady of sixty hail Just
married her own widowed son-in-law of thirty- :
fiva, the former husband of her own deceased I
daughter, who in dying left to her bereaved I
partner two children. Os these children the
grandmother has now become the stepmother, |
while their father, marryiug his mother-in-law, l
becomes the stepfather of hie own sisters-in- |
law. The various new relationships which are
thus established are exceedingly complicated. |
and the curioeity and condemnation of the |
Buffalo people are excited in an equal degree.
Close upon the heels of the publiciiy given
the arrest of certain people near Spartanburg, |
South Carolina, snppoeed to be the notorious
Benders, comes the news that the suspected
people are ext remely commonplace persons,
without the slightest taint of blood or murder
about them, and that tho intelligent detectives
are more at sea than ever. It is fortunate for
the suspected parties that their arrest did uot i
take place in Kaneas, where the law's delays
would have been expeditioualy set aside with i
out wan mg for the proper identifiejlion and
investigations which, in this iustanoe. proved
most favorable for them.
It is hiuied in France that should Marshal
MacMahou coutiuue in power five years more
tome tremendous effort will be made to recover
the lost provinces and restore the military
prestige of France, and that it was to be free
to bend his energies to this end that the Mar- ;
ehal wished for more power. Something of thie
kiud appears to have been suspected by the
German Cabinet, for the Berlin Journals state
that the prolongation of President MeeMshon't
term of office was not viewed with indifference
at the Prussian Capital. Inquiries into its sig
nificance were at once made by the German
Embassador, aud assurances returned that the
Republic m. am peace. France has paid her
war debt, but she is still under bonds to Ger
many for good behavior, as the above instance I
ehow*.
Old Bow Street Police Court is going among ■
other ancient institutions. Probably we will
hear next that Newgate is demolished, and the j
Old Bailey--Jack Sheppard's OU Bailey—va
cated. Bow street has so long been the av
nonym for the police—the stern Justice with
fat capon lined —the sharp detective— that
the name will long linger when the thing is no
more. Like the Old Lady of Threadneedle
street, the Circmmlocntion Office Scotland Yard,
Bt. Stephen's and other well known London
names, it will cling in the memory of men for
nges. Bow a treet uas lot g been unfitted for
its purposes, being "ugly, shabby, ill venti

A SwcrsMß or Lotto.— X##t#rd#y
morning a colored man named Edward
Mathawaon, from Abbeville, 3.0., want
to the National Bank of Augusta and
had a check for $193 cashed. After he
received tha money and was leaving the
b«nfc, Peter Jackson, a well known aol
ored aharper, atepped np and offered to
oonnt the aash for him. The unsus
peeting countryman consented, and
handed over the money to Peter, who
oonntad it over and pronounced it all
right. The two then left the bank to
gether, and went up town to a store
where the oonntryman wished to pur
chase some supplies. As Msthewson
entered the store Peter started off. A
suspicion then for the first time entered
the countryman’s mind that something
was wrong, aDd he therefore ran ont of
the store and followed Peter, who, see
ing that he was pursued, dashed off.
The countryman, however, kept close to
him, and finally captured him on the
river bank. Peter confessed that he
had taken S2O while counting the
money, and turned over that amount to
Mathewson, who, however, took him in
charge and turned him over to a police
man. Upon having his money counted
by a responsible party, the countryman
discovered that Peter had taken $43 in
stead of S2O. The swindler was taken
to the police headquarters, where he was
Searched and the exact amount —s23
missed by Mathewson found on his
person. He was carried before Justice
Picquet, who committed him for trial in
the Superior Court.
-Cotton. —The cotton market daring
the first part of the past commercial
week was active, and there was a good
demand for the staple. Thursday, how
ever, the market grew weak, and closed
with a declining tendency. Yesterday
it declined during the day and closed
weak.

LETTEII FROM WILKES,
Meeting In Favor of a Convention —
Speech of Oeneral Toombs.
Washington, Ga., Doc. 17th, 1873.
Editors Chronicle A Sentinel:
A large number of citizens of Wilkes
county assembled in the Court House,
at noon to-day, to consider the necessity
of calling a State Convention. On motion
of Judge Reese, Capt. Wingfield w»i
called to the Chair., audS. H. Hardeman,
Bsq., appointed Secretary. After a
statement from tins Chair of the object
of the meeting, then. Toombs arose and
addressed the auclienoe in his usually
eloquent and forcible manner. He point
ed out the errors of the present State
Constitution. It was iu conflict with all
good government#, even with the four
teenth and fifteenth amendments of the
Federal Congress. The liberties it al
lowed to legislators, in heaping bur
dens of taxation upon the people, was
an outrage upon civilization, and would
entail upon prosperity disgrace and ruin.
The people had a right to be heard, and
none but a villian would attempt to de
feat the expression of the popular will.
Atlanta was afraid that a Convention
would move the eapitel back to Mill
edgeville, but should a mushroom town,
that had sprung up by fraud and corrup
tion, choke down the people of Georgia,
aud say where their capital should be ?
If the people want a return to the halls
of legislation in Milledgeville, where
Crawford and Berrien, Jenkins and
Miller, Dawaon and Cobb, and
the long line of worthies were heard
in tha days of virtue aud integrity, they
bad the right to go there. Change the
present Constitution and the venals and
hirelings, the lobbyists and rings of cor
ruption and fraud would be gone. They
were all opposed to tha measure, and
well they might be. All that would be
lost by the call u of a Convention would
aoou be regained by a more wise and
economical form and administration of
the government. Gold dust was noth
ing compared to the liberties we should
transmit to posterity.
At the close of tho speech, the follow
| ing preamble and resolutions were
adopted:
Wubbeas, The peopl# of Georgia have
no rightful, fundamental law, no Con
stitution adopted by themselves; and
i whereas, it is the undoubted right of the
people of this State to make aud ordain
a fundamental law for their own govern
ment not inconsistent with the supreme
I law of the land ; and
WhEßKas, The present pretended or
ganic law or Constitution of this State
was not made or adopted by the free
will and suffrage of th» people of Geor
gia, but was forced upon the State by
the Congress oI the United States, when
adopted by a pretended convention of
aliens, rogues, traitors and negroes who
hail no interest in society except to
plunder it—ratified by the same class
aud by the pretended authority of what
are commonly called the reconstruction
acts, the constitutionals ty of which acts
Congress refused to allow tested by the
Supreme Court of the United States,
and which acts a large majority of the
people of Georgia have declared to have
been revolutionary, uaurpatious, uncon
stitutional and void—which declaration
was endorsed by milliors of the free
men of the United States; and
Whkrkas, This pretended organic law,
in order to perpetuate as long as possible
the power of its authors, aiders aud abet
, ters and deprive the people of the ines
timable right of freemen to govern them
selves, extended the terms of office in the
legislative, executive and judicial de
partments of the government, and by cor
rupting and degrading the jury box,
endangered all securities for life, 1 berty
and property, and endeavors to perpet
uate the power and wrongs thus inflicted
upon us by attempting to deprive the
1 people in all future time of the right of
altering or abolishing some of its most
j obnoxious features, and asserts principles
at war with public liberty, ana subver
sive of the very foundations of good
government, and opens a wide door to
legislative fraud;
Be it Retained, That our fellow-citi
zens in Georgia are earnestly invited to
assemble in primary meetings and to
instruct their Representatives to call a
Convention of the people of Georgia, to
take into consideration the subject of
i the formation of anew Constitution.
2. That our Senator and Representa
tives in the Legislature are requested to
▼age for the call of such a Convention.
3. That the newspapers friendly to
the objects of this resolution be request
ed to publish the proceedings of this
meeting.
The New York bank statement shows
that loans have increased two and five
eighths millions; specie has decreased
three-eighths of a million; legal tenders
have increased two and a half millions;
cbpoaita have increased four million*.
TBS OCSAW HOBBOB.
PauWmlars of the Loss of the VUIe dm
Harr*.
Naw Toa*, December 20.—Oaptain
Robertson, of the ship Loch Earn, in his
official report of the •olliaion between
his veasel and the Villa da Harve, says:
Novemner 22, 2. a. m., in latitude
46 54 north, longitnde 35. 6 west, winds
8. 3. W., true ship braced up on port
tack, heading by standard compass N.
W. or W. half N. true, a steamer’s mast
head was seen from one to two points on
port bow. Our side light# were out and
burning brightly. Shortly after we saw
steamer’s three lights; she was ooming
straight for us; almost immediately she
showed only her port and mast head
lights and was steering apparently to pass
under onr stern. After a short time we
rang onr bell and ported the helm, as
we thought she was coming too near, the
steamer still showing only her port light.
When close to our bow the steamer’s
helm was starboarded and she ran across
our bow. A collision was rendered in
evitable. The order was given to back
our afteirards, but before the braces
could be let go the two vessels came in
collision. Wien the first boat from
Ville du Havre, containing an officer
and four men, came along side, I asked
if the steamer was much injured. He
said she was injured, but did not say she
wanted help. As no signals of distress
weve made by the steamer I thought
at th# time the boat was sent to
render us assistance but while talking
to the officer I siw the steamer appa
rently settling down, and lowered a port
life boat at once in charge of the second
officer and four men, who made towards
the sinking ship. Our cutter and star
board life boats were then cleared away
in a few minutes and dispatched to the
scene of the catastrophe, their
guide being the cries of the drowning
people, the steamer having disappeared.
We kept our boats out till daylight, un
til every one floating among the wreck
was picked up. Capt. Robertson then
gives an account of his struggles to at
tempt to save his vessel. He had to se
cure his foremast and foretopmast, the
stays being gone. His bow was knocked
in right down to the forefoot, so that
the security of the vessel de’pende 1 en
tirely upon the safety of the bulk head,
without the protection of which the
Loch Earn must have sunk as rapidly as
the steamer. Endeavors were made to
shave up a bulkhead in front of the
main hold. The jury bow, spars and sails
were constructed in a compartment to pro
tect the bulkhead The weather, however,
proved very unfavorable, gales prevailed
and the vessel was obliged to be left to
roll in the trough of the sea, as directly
she was brought head to sea, the strain
of water rushing in threatened to sweep
away the bulkhead and all its supports.
The vessel was trimmed afterwards, but
leaks broke out of her bulkhead and mat
ters became #o bad by the morning of
the 28th ult. that the crew refused to
stand by the vessel any longer, when all
on board were transferred to the British
Queen. When the British Queen left
the Loch Earn the latter had eight feet
of water in her after hold. She had not
been able to make any headway, but iu
sixteen days she had drifted more than
110 miles to the northeast.
BUZZARDS’ ROOST.
A Sadden Conversion on the Road to
Damascus—The Scaling Bill Passes
the Senate- Tho Debt Reduced to
Six Million—Working on the Tax
Le vy— Reducing Kxpenses—The Citi
zens’ Sayings Bank Case.
[By Telegraph t# tha News and Courier.]
Columbia, S. 0., December 19.—Th#
Senate to-day finished the second read
ing of the bill to reduce the volume of
the public debt, and to provide for the
payment of th# same, with important
amendments. The omnibus bill advo
cates, Whittamore, Jervy et al, are com
pletely whipped out for the present, and
they and the outside holders of the Blue
Ridge scrip, pay certificates, bills paya
ble and such like claims, are very blue.
The bill is ohanged iu no essential par
ticular from the form iu which it passed
the House, except that the scale is made
fifty cents instead of forty cents on the
bonds. Th# new debt, if the measure
can be made to operate, will be between
flv# and six million dollars. The House
will probably agree in such amendments
as the Senate has made. There were
notices by several members of amend
ments on tho third reading, and the om
nibus crew will doubtless make another
desperate* effort to get in their claims.
The Senate Jmeets to-night to consider
the bill to rais# supplies for the fiscal
year commencing November 1, 1873, and
to alter the new law in relation to the col
lection of taxes, and a Radical Senator tells
me that they will red uce the levy from six
teen to twelve mills. It looks as if the
Senate were really trying to retrieve
their character. In the House, to-day,
there were a large number of bills,
mostly unimportant, reported by va
rious committees. A resolution to take
a recess from the 22d instant to the
15th January was debated at some
length, but weut over, under the rules,
without final action. The talk is that
there will be no adjournment sine die
before June, the reason assigned being
that tho General Assembly is afraid of
the possible action by the Supreme
Court in the line of the mandamus de
cision, and the opposing faction of
Moses as the next Governor, which is a
majority of the General Assembly, wish
to ti# his hands in the undue use of Ex
ecutive patronage. A concurrent reso
lution to appoint a committee to nego
tiate a loau of one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars to pay legislative cer
tificates was debated at much leugth and
adopted finally by a large vote, but it
was laid on the table in the Senate.
Artson, of Charleston, refused to vote
on the resolution upon the call of the
ayes aud nays for a long while, but
finally voted aye. After the declaration
of the vote tho Speaker asked the House
to take action iu the premises, and a
resolution was adopted practioally re
quiring Artson to purge himself of the
alleged contempt. Discussion on the
subject was continued o adjournment.
The enacting clause of the bill to fix the
time for holding the Circuit Courts in i
counties mentioned was stricken out.
Th# House meets again to-night at 7, p.
m. Nothing was done in the Citizeus
Savings Bank case, before Judge Car
penter, to-day. Some of the respon
dents to the rule to show cause why they j
should not be attached for contempt, and
on the part of the attorneys engaged in
the case why they should not be de
barred from practice in the Court, were
ready, but others were unavoidably ab
sent, aud the flual hearing was post
poned until Tuesday next. Messrs.
Campbell, Conner, Rion and Barker
will represent the attorneys. The Judge
announced to the original attorneys en
gaged in the case of the bank that he
would not allow them to represent their
clients, or appear before his Court in any
professional capacity, until the matter
of their contempt is decided. The case
has aroused considerable feeling among
the members of the bar here. To-night
the Senate is engaged on the tax bill,
j They heve reduced all the specifica
tions, so far, for salaries of officers,
clerks and the contingent expenses.
They have also reduced the tax for
the support of charitable institutions
from one and half to one and a quarter
mills, and that for the support of penal
institutions from one aud half to one
and a quarter mills. They are now de
bating a reduction of the levy for the
public schools from two mills to one and
three-quarters. The general impression
is that they will reduce the entire levy
from sixteen mills, as it passed the House,
to abont thirteen and a half mills. The
Senate has met with a sudden conversion
on the road to Damascus, and even
Whittemore is falling into the line of
retrenchment. The House is engaged
this evening on the discussion of con
tingent claims, and has wrangled over
them considerably. The claim of the
Chronicle forpublishing aets and notices
four thousand two hundred and five
dollars, was passed. They are now
discussing Joe Crews’ claim for four
hundred and fifty dollars for draping the
ball at the time of the obsequies of Min
ister Orr. QnVrvu.

may be avoided by having always at
hand a bottle of Globe Flower Syrup,
which is equally and certainly remedial
for all stages of lung and bronchial dis
orders, from a simple cold to a confirmed
co lsumption. Be wise in time, ’tis mad
ness to defer. Next day tbe fatal prece
dent may plead, and you may drop into
an early grave—all for want of one bot
tle of Globe Flower Cough Syrup.
At least 5,000 bottles of this medicine
were consumed in this city during the
last Winter, and all who have used it
speak in the highest praise of its virtues.
Mothers, remember tbat Globe Flow
er Syrup is a specific for Croup, and
children love to take it. Never be with
out this irvaluable remedy, to adminis
ter on the first alarm of croup. Cut
this out. It may save your life, and
with sound lungs and a healthy organi
zation, live long to bless its discovery
and praise its great merits.
