A Fall DM.rl.tlH af Ik. Iprl.1. an* Tk.lr Smvremmdlmps. Hot Spbinob, Aw., Auguit IS, 1874. Editor Enquirer-Sun:—Thinking an account of tbi. plao. and Ua annonadinga would be of aom. lateral to your many readers, 1 bare taken tb. liberty of wrl. : ting yon a abort sketob. Passengers for tb. Hot Bpringe Inn itbe train at MalT*rn, a ttation on tbo airo * Fulton Bailroad, and proc.ed in Dtagea to the and of their journey. Twen- r.fonr miles of ataging over aa ordinary 'fcoad is bad enough ; but through such a 'Country as lies between Melvera and Hot Springs is barrowing to one's feelings. They nay rheumatism is cured by the ride, ofteuer than by tbo waters; this t will not deny, as one is jolted in the stage from one side to the other, top to bot tom, and if the pains are not shaken out, it is no fault of the road. Spring and summer the roads are oonxidsred in good condition; double teams sra often neces sary, and at times it is impossible to make the trip in less than ton or twelvs hours. Draysge on artioles, daring the good sea- eon, is ohsrged at the rata of 85 cents for 100 pounds, and 94 00 for 100 pounds in ' winter or bad season. The country is . thinly eottled, and the aettlais as am to be of the “poor white trash" order. Aa the ride was half in the night, the patseagers became alarmed lets some “Dick Turpin” or other “Knight of the Road” would halt ns with, “your money or you life.” The lonely road, sa lt led in some deep defile of the mountains, or through the , thick, gloomy forest, had such aa unolvil- iaed look, as would justify our wildest Imaginations. Feus and doubt, ware , quieted by the driver assuring that the -bobbers would not bother tea. This quiet sarcasm at our poverty-stricken appear ance entirely sabdued the perty. We ifpre shown (when within five miles of Wot Springs) the place where five men Chopped'the stages, made the passengers out and stand in line to be gone ugh." Two of the gang did the k, while three aat on their horaes with guns, threatening to ahoot any who ired resistance. Nine unfortunates de- up $3,600, besides their watches, Ac. Although sometime haspaased- a it eats have been made, it being an matter to ride to the Territories. An iterpriaing druggist has marked the spot a sign, giving an aooount of the iooi- it, with the date, and that he has the •st and cheapest drugs in the market. We pass a few straggling honaaa, all with the sign, “Boarding,” on the gates, when we eoias to the graveyard, whloh ia the beginning of the town, although the end of the inhabitants. Oroaaiog tba small creek, whioh roue through the val ley, we oorne to the main and only street. The town is over a mile in length, situat ed In a valley which runs north and south, between two spun of the Oaark mourn tains. The houses are entirely of wood; in style, range from a log eabin to a three- story barn, and are built principally on tha east side of the valley. Of the hotels, the Hot Springs heads the list, ia the best famished, and otters • the beat accommo dations, although not a first-class by any means. Every room in this town is intended to hold from two to fou persons, it being impossible to get a single-bed room wtth- m out paying double prioe. '■jy Major Smyths, oaehier of the Hot Springs Hotel, has placed me under many obligations, and the guests will find him willing to do all in his power for their comfort. Visitors with exchange on the larger cities oan have the same cashed by the Major. The Grand Central and Bee- ; tor House follow next in order, and so on down to Fifteenth Amendment hotels. Prices vary from $80 to $60 per month, and for the amount charged the accom modations should be better. lee ia t lux ury which one has to furnish if they de sire cold water. Thia ia just the plaoe for sn ioe machine. The following ia the tariff: Single pound, 10 to 15 cents; three pounds for 25 cents, and to regular customers and bar-rooms at 5 cents per pound. Lust week the supply ran short, and ioe could not be had for love or money. Oar darkey swore nntil he was blaok that we were all down with tha fever,; but tha same answer was re- tared*’‘Tia siok, too; to can’t let yon baveeny." The United States Hotel is reported to bewupag the best, at whioh an extra in- danaasht is offered the inooming gneets; hat of this I cannot speak knowingly, and wfUkaive to refer yon to several railroad djRHsIs sojourning ken at ^ ■ Board and lodging can be had with al most every family in the valley. Their rates are less than the hotels, and fare about the same. The population ia estimated at one thousand—being composed of shop-keep ers, hotel and boarding-house people, aud bathmen. The town has more than ita full quota of gamblers. A tew days after arriving I reoeived the following; MIGHT SCHOOL. An invitation is hereby extended to the visitors end citizens of the Valley to ODE EVENXNQ KNTEBTAINMENT, where rmnm insteutioxs will be given to all who desire TO LHABM THE HTBTIO AST or PLATIKO xemo!

LOUIS KENO BOOM, No. 99. “wn’va ooxa to rat 1” Free Cigars and Free Lager Beer, ran surras. Cards pegged free the first roll, and $20 to the winner of the first Fool. PaoraiEToas. There being no law to atop gambling, it ia oarried on openly. Faro, rondo, rouge et noir, English hazards, mustang, roulette and all aorta of banking games are constantly played, sometimes on the ground floor, with open doors and no at tempt at ooncealment. Poker is the gurno played principally at the hotels. The visitors number, on an average about one thousand, and hail from every part of the globe—the States and Terri tories of this Union being nobly repre sented. Disease, in all its hideous forms, is here displayed. Bbeumatio patients oan be seen here hobbling to their baths in any numbers; some go in okaira, and one poor eripple was wheeled to and fro lying in a barrow, it being impossible for bim to sit ereot. When an invalid arrives, the first thing in order is to consult a physioian to ascer tain the traatment necessary for the oasc. Stimulants of all kinds are positively for bidden while under treatment. The mer its and demerits of each physioian are freely discussed, aud one can hear the game doctor praised and blamed almost in the same breath. Folly sixty per cent, of the visitors who resort to these waters are afflicted with syphilis in some of its various forms. The balance como for rhenmatism, paral ysis, skin diseases, and general debility. Many ladies find their complexion im proved by bathing in and drinking the hot water; the waters of the Arsenio Spring being used by them more than all the others. Tha hot water relieves the thirst much sooner then oold, and strange to any, never nauseates, and oan be drank in large quantities The dootora reap a rich harvest -, some are laying np colossal fortunes, while oth ers are barely making a living. The Med- ioal Society has plaoed the fees at $25 for the first, and $20 for etch succeeding month. Drs. Brooks, Lawrence, Oarnett, Hobson and Creichton, from what I can learn, have the largest number of patients and are the leading men. Dr. A. Brooks is a fine physoian, and stands now the first on the liet. It is bard to tell who comes second. Dr. Oarnett, the author of a “Treatise on the Hot Springs of Arkan sas,” is making for himself a reputation ■eooud to none,’snd bids fair to become the leader. Dr. Oarnett was a surgeon in the old United States Navy, but at the breaking out of the war, he resigned his position to serve nnder the Confederate flag. He was on board of the “Merrimao’ part of hia time. The bath-houses are greeted iu a neat and substantial manner on the west side of Hot Springs Mountain, from whioh all of the hot water flows. In the rear of these houses are large tanks to hold the hot fluid oonveyed from near the Bumtnit of the mountain by means of wooden troughs, that look like eo many single- traok railways running in different direc tions. A substance resembling sandstone is deposited in these troughs by the water, and if not taken out will fill the troughs in from two to three years. The baths are supplied from the tanka, and the temperature reduced by the use of oold water to suit the condition of the bather—93 to 96 degrees Fahrenheit be ing the heat they are generally taken at, although some take them as high as 120 degrees. The Rector bath-house is con sidered the best; but, in my estimations there is very little, if any, difference. Negroes are always on hand to attend your wants and keep the towels, blankets, Ao., in order. For this, one is expected to pay $1 per week. Bath tiokets vary in prioe—$10, $7 and $5 a coarse of twenty-one baths—according to tha bath house. No one should bathe or go iu the vapor without their heart and lungs are in a good healthy condition. Three per sons have died in the last few weeks from injudicious use of the waters. The springs number between fifty and sixty, and are of different degrees of tempera ture-ranging, respectively, from 90 to 166 degrees Fahrenheit. Most come un der the bend of iron springs, but magne sia, alum and arsenio are all represented. The discharge ia estimated at 300 gallons per minute. If all the waters were con oeatrated, it would supply 15,000 persons daily with baths. The pools on the side of the mountain, known aa “Bat Holes, Corn and Mud Baths,” are supplied by tmall springs, which rise near, and art made available for bathing by being tempered down with water from a oold spring on the same mountain. These pools are used by a class of persons who live on the hill-sides iu tents and huts, and cannot afford to pay. Many, Senator Morton among the number, bathe there through ehoioe, be lieving them to be more effloaoious. All these various springs form the creek that runs through the valley. Into thia sluggish creek the filth and alopa of all the houses, boarding places, hotels, sa loons, Ao., along its entire line are east. The odor that arises, at times, it abso lutely nauseating. To keep down this smell and cleanse it, a good rain is need ed et least once n week. Why the inhab itants do not build a sewer in the bed of the stream I cannot aooount for; it would not only relieve the town of a nuisance, bnt improve the general health of tha plaoe. Many and loud are the oomplalnts at times, but as “everybody's business ia nobody’s business," this ueoeesary piece of work is left undone. Three miles to the north is a fine, bold “Chalybeate spring, ” whioh is unimproved, yet visitors walk and rida to it to drink the water. Eight miles in the opposite direction is the “Sulphur spring." It is, however, muoh more strongly impregnat ed with potash. To these the Hot Spring patients are sent to recuperate from the effects of the hot^baths and sweats. Twelre miles irStheast an the “Soda Springs,” known as the “Mountain Val ley.” For dropsy and gravel or Bright’s disease, they are said to be infallible. Among the notables visiting at present the Hot Springs, are Senators Clayton and Dorsey, of Arkansas, McCreary, of Kentuoky, and Morton, of Indiana, be sides a host of smaller fry. Lieutenant- Governor Hubbard, of Texas, left a few days sines. Dan. Voorheea, the “Tall Sicamore,” is expected in a few days. Quite a number of ladies oome here to improve their looks and the town seema to be alive with them at present. The “Brass Band” is an institution and tune up every Friday evening. Two Italian bands make this plaoe their headquarters, playing in front of the hotels every eve ning and at the “hops” when we have them. Who own them is still a mooted ques tion. Wm. H. Gains, John O. Hale aud H. M. Doctor claim the valley of the government. Theseolaimnntahavemadea temporary division of the lands (200 arpents) among themselves, to abide the settlement of the titles; Gaines taking the southern, Hale the oentre and Sector the northern part. The northern aud southern portions are the beat improved, as lisle demands $5 per foot over the othem; Osins and Sector leas ing the land for two or three years at $10 per front foot per annum. Houses are going up, bat they are of n cheap class. I have heard some talk of it, aud believe every arrangement has been made to build a $50,000 hotel, to in clude the fieotor House and the gronnd immediately in front of it. The people are all anxious for the Government to take charge of the property, so that permanent and substantial improvements may be made. No one hee an idea that the claim ants wish the thing settled, and I have heard some talk of bribery going on, in official circles. The trial oomes off this year before the Court of Claims ; the de feated party will oarry the oase to the Su preme Court of the United States for a final settlement. leu thousand or more peraons visited here the lest season ; fully twenty thou sand are expeoted the next. A railroad survey from Malvern to Hot Springs has just been oomplotod. It ia asserted that before another twelve-month rolls round the whistle of the locomotive will be heard in this valley. President Allen, of the Cairo A Fulton Bailroad, ia the one, so I bear, who expeots to push the thing to completion. There is no town organization of any kind. The only offloial of the pleee is a Deputy Sheriff. By the way of veriety there is occasion ally a little pistol praotiea on the street, bnt considering the class of men here and the mixed population, the town is very or derly, as we have had no shooting for n week, or robberies for n month or more, the piece is getting unbearable. The “geminen ob color” ore quite nu merous, are employed ns barbers, hotel waiters, attendants at the bath-honses, Ac. They hail mostly from Mississippi and Tennessee, but several are from Geor gia and Alabama, The weather for two weeks past, with tha exception of to-dey, has been exceedingly warm, tha thermom eter showing as high as 104, and in some places 106 degrees Fahrenheit in the shade. To-day we had a fine rain, ac companied with hail, and at night we have to sleep under blankets. Crystal mountain ia about twenty-five miles distant; fine epeoimens of crystal are brought to this market, and extrava gant prices are asked and often obtained. The Arkansas hone and whetstone, and Oaacinta oilstone are found within a mile and a half of the springs, Lsrge quanti ties have been shipped annually, aud the demand is increasing. Messrs. Bernes A Ley have a mill, where they dress and prepare the stone for use. European manufactures prefer this to any other they can get, for fineness of grit and tree- uess from flews. This stone is sold at the quary, in the rough, at $1 50 to $3 50 per 100 pounds. Oold, silver, iron, oop- per, lead, and various other minerals are found within short distances. The Georgia delegation are all in fine spirits, especially the railroad offleials. Your paper ia eagerly looked for and rad. With beBt regards and wishes, I am yours, truly, , ‘Ozaeh.” —Fifty thousand dollar firs yesterday at Oentretown, Maryland. TILTON-REECHER. CONTINUATION OF NBBf-HlDlNO. AH Abut Dutton and His Change of ParpMC. New Yoax, August 19.—Tbo following ia published hero this morning ae the facta of the alleged attempted compro mise of the Tiiton-Beeoher com, of whioh mention was made lest week: On his return to Brooklyn, Mr. Moul ton, under the provocation of being re ferred to aa a blaokmailer, did prepare a long statement whioh wee designed to crush Mr. Beecher. It was composed mainly of hia own reoollection of the various events of the scandal; his own assertions that Mr. Beecher and Hn. Til ton haA made oonfeaaioaa of adultery to him, bnt unsupported by any doenmante other than those which he subsequently submitted to tha Committee, and one other, whioh hia been described by Mr. Beeoher'e lawyers as manufactured. He simply corroborates Tilton's by hia un supported word, when he prepared this statement. Mr. Moulton denounced Mr. Beecher to the correspondent of the Uhioago Tribune, who next day telegraphed his statements to his paper, where they were published on Monday, August 10th, the very day on which Mr. Moulton submitted hia short statement containing none of the gravest allusions. Mr. Kingsley had wrought this sudden change in Moulton's purpose during the Sunday whioh inter vened between his talk with the Chicago Tribune correspondent, and his informal talk with the committee. Mr. Kingsley met at Moulton's house, on Sunday, Au gust 9th, Mr. Moulton himself, his father, Franklin Woodruff aud two or three oth er persons, Mr. Kingsly communicated to the as sembled friends of Moulton, that the let ter's own safety was at stake. It was finally decided that Monlton should not attaok Beeoher or oonfirm Tilton further then by submission of the papers called for. Oeneral Butler read the long statement the aame night, and adviaed ita suppres sion for future use. As a consequence of Kingsley's infor mation and Oeneral Butler's advice, Mr. Monlton changed his statement, bnt for got to alter the Chioago correspondent’s letter. Mr. Kingsley’s only suggestion of pay-1 ing money to Mr. Tilton was a remark made publicly by him in a restaurant—to the effeot that Tilton need not want for money; he could have $5,000 if be needed. WHAT TBS COMMITTEE WILL DO. New Yobk, August 19.—The Sub-Com- mittoe of the Investigating Committee, consisting of Messrs. Bags, Winslow and Cleaveland, held a meeting for purposes of consultation aa to how the report should be drawn np. It was decided that the Committee prepare a draft of a re port to Mr. Winslow to be submitted to the other two members of the Committee for review. They, in turn, will submit it to the original Committee of Six, who will make any alteration whioh should be ncoessary, and then hand it over to the Examining Committee of Plymouth Church, who will report on the succeed ing Friday night at a business meeting of the Church. THBODOSX DENIES BLACKMAIL AMD BRAINS ROOKS A. FBTOB. Tilton told an Eagle reporter to-day that he never blackmailed anybody, never rs- oeived, direotly or indireotly, n single cent from Beecher. He added that on the morning before Moulton presented his statement to the Beeoher committee, C. Kingsley offered him $10,000 wlthont im posing any condition. Mr. Beam, private eeoretary of Mr. Kingsley, informed the reportor of the same paper that Kingsley had told Tilton that he would willingly contribute $5,000 to help the Utter, and bring this disgraceful business to an end. The Argue reporU that Boger A. Fryor has been retained as oounael for Theodore Tilton in bis coming suit. RADICAL CONVENTION AT OPELIKA. NO NONINATION*-mANTIM4> SPEECH EH. Afilssrssd to September l«tb. Special to ntqcinaa-St'N.) Opelika, Aug. 19, 1874. The Bedicel Convention of the Third (Ala.) Congressional Distriot met here to day to nominate ■ candidate for Con gress, and also a Judge of the Ninth Judicial Girouit. Full delegations attended, mostly ne groes. Dr. Davis, of Randolph, presided. The Convention adjourned to Septem ber 16th, and made no nominations. Banting speeches were made by Turner, colored, McAfee of Talladega, and Heflin of Roanoke. The Convention awaits the aotion of the State Convention, whioh meats in Montgomery to-morrow. The Civil Rights bill ia the question that disturbs the Convention. They want to get the votes of North Alabamians, who should remember that the Congressmen elected this year will uot take their seats until December twelve months, while the present Congressmen will pass the bill oertAialyaf the next session, unless Ala bama and other States roll up sweeping majorities in favor of the Demoorats. This will have effeot North, and nothing else will. Rifobtsb. TROUBLE.

TO XMrOBCX MUNBOS DOOTBIHB. Washington, August 19.—The article from the Freeman u Journal, to the effect that the Spanish Government, in return for scouring the recognition of the Bepublio by tho European powers, has agreed to cede the ',Ialand of Porto Bioo to Oenuany occasions comment in all quarters, but there is no source here at present from which to obtain offloial information concerning the subject, either confirmatory or oontradiotory of the startling announcement. It is known, however, that a report ex isted a year or more ago that Germany was seeking to obtain possession of a Spanish West India island, and thoagh the report, whioh was oonfined only to a email official circle, wea regarded ae in- volving serious consequences, it was soon apparently forgotten. All that can now be said with oertainty is, that the Exeoative Department of onr Oovemment is not inattentive to this matter, and that both Caleb Cashing, at Madrid, and J. Banoroft, Davis, at Berlin, have this subject on their memoranda of instructions, and will notfail at the proper time to report to those governments tl-e position of the Administration, as hereto fore privately end officially expressed by President Grant himself, also through tho Secretary of Stale, in the maiutenanoe of the Monroe dootrine.
