By to the Nmvs Ciuricr.] New Yoiut, July 5. A London letter of June 22d says that as the time draws on for the departure of the Prince of Wales for India, the diffi culties of the journeyaro move clear ly appreciated. It lias not yet boon settled whether the Prince is to su persede tile Viceroy, otto accompany him as a guest. The. old Indians are very muon divided on the question some asserting that it will have a bad effect on the mind of the natives if the Queen’s son plays second fiddle to the Queen’s deputy; while others argue that it is of more importance that the Viceroy’s dignity should be maintained at the highest point, us, after all, he is the permanent repre sentative of Great Britain in India. The Prince’s costume is another pro blem. A prince iri a calico shooting jacket would, it is thought, not be sufficiently impressive, and though tile red coat and cocked hat of an English hold marshal is no doubt im posing enough, it. is very fatiguing to the wearer in a hot country, it was at one time contemplated that | the Princess would accompany her | husband, but this idea has been aban doned, partly on account, of the diffi culties in regard to etiquette, and partly on economical grounds. The Government, is still scheming how to get money for the expenses of the trip out of India. For some months past the Prince has been suffering from sciatica, and it is to be hoped that the eastern climate will do him good. —•-♦- • ■ — The llMurUity at the Inttaliaii Try. There is no part of the commercial j world where there is not at, the pres : ent time more or less complaint of dull times. These dull tine-s are ac counted forin various ways, but the main cause of them, in bur opinion, is the close Interdependence among commercial nations. If dull times taught no other lesson than the unity of the modern commercial world they would not be without considera ble compensations. There is another way of accounting for hard times, which was accepted as the true theory by the majority i in both houses Of the last Congress, j These gentlemen would persuade us | that the whole trouble comes from scarcity of money. We beg to refer i these gentlemen to the financial con dition of England, France, and the United States at this very lime, as a | practical demonstration that scarcity I of money has nothing to do with the J universal dullness of trade. Wo point to the remarkable fact that in | each of the countries named unem ployed money is extraordinarily abundant. — N. Y. Tribune. The most notable of the celebra tions were at Philadelphia and at At lanta, (In., of which we give full ac counts elsewhere. The one at Phila delphia, perhaps the largest and j most enthusiastic demonstration ever j known in that city, may he consid ered as in some sort a torerunner of the great Centennial celebration in j 1870, to which it, wits in fact tributa- I ry. That at Atlanta was, besides be- I ing a very imposing demonstration, a very significant one, from tho fact that ft furnished (he best assurance ! of a perfect reconciliation and re.-do | ration of friendly feeling between the Two lately hostile sections. The ad } dress of the Hon, Alexander H. Ste ! pherts was in an excellent spirit and I full of loyalty and devotion to the Union. Its effect on the people of i both sections cannot lie other than beneficial. It is gratifying to think that out of all tho noise, the powder, ! and smoke, and tire, the killing and I maiming of so many, and so much i useless destruction and waste, wo j can count something really gained in I the way of reconciliation and peace. This is the best sign the day has given \ us. N. Y. Tribune. • ♦— The Kt.

COLUMBUS, GA., SATURDAY, JULY 10, 1875. UOSI tM’F. IN K,iN!*.i.s. A THEY HUNT INDIA}) ATTEMPT'S TO AII - A FARMER'S D(UU)H'BR. Ono of l,ho main tributaries of tho Little Arkansas river is called Pun ning Turkey crock, at the mouth of which is Jim Geary's rancho, an old and somewhat notorious stopping place in tho days when Government provisions wore hauled from Fort Parker to tho Indian Territory l>v means of bull and mule teams. Among the early settlers was a fami ly from Ohio named Falconer, which consisted of Robert Falconer, his wife Sarah, mid an only daughter, Bessie, at this time about Seventeen years old. Tho young girl was engaged to a young farmer, and had nothing hap pened would have been married on last Friday evening. Tho time for tlio marriage arrived, so did the bridegroom and invited guests, but, strange, no bride appeared. Her pa re ill s, supposing she was in her room, wont to the door to warn her that the time for tho performance of the cere mony had arrived, when they found tho room empty. Ii wus early even ing and not yet dusk, so they walked to the window to endeavor to discov er tho truant. Their horror may bo imagined when they saw, rapidly dis appearing through the timber ou tho ereek bank, a man carrying in ills arms the form of n young girl, which, from the dress, they immediately rec ognized as that of their daughter. In aii instant the alarm was given, and tho whole party, well armed, started in pursuit. Within u few .minutes they were Within gun-shot of tho fu gitive, but were unable to use their weapons in eousoqiieueeof ltis shield ing Ills body with tho loved form of tho bride elect. Tho young lover was almost, frantic, and iii his frenzy ap peared to have gained the fleetness of tho antelope ; overtaking tho al most breathless abductor, lie seized him, and after a brief struggle wrest ed the girl from him, at tho same time discovering that the abductor was uCheyenne Indian who had been around the neighborhood for a year or two. At tho same time that tho farmer regained his sweetheart,, the savage, with an eel-like wriggle, es caped from iiis hold and started ou a keen run down the creek. The pur suers, however, were too much for him, and one of thoir number brought, him to the ground by means of a well aimed bullet from a needle-gun. It was soon ascertained that the red man was only wounded iu the thigh. Ho was then taken prisoner and lodg ed in a neighboring dug-out, from which, by some means, no escaped during tho night, carrying the needle gun ball in Ids thigh, and has not since been heard of, although a dili gent search has been inode by the friends of the young lady, whose, wed ding lias been indefinitely postponed in consequence of an attack of brain fever, tho result of the fright she re ceived. St. Joseph (Ala.) Herald, Ist. fltolu ratio. Ooldrado Territory- the “Centen nial Stute,” ■ns she terms herself whoso admission into the Union on tho 4th of July, 1875, may be consid ered a fixed fact, however impolitic that admission maybe, now claims a population of 140,000, from which a . liberal discount may safely bo made. Colorado will be the second Stale in size in the Union, being eclipsed on ly by Texas. The assessed valuation lis $41,478,800. Her mining product, in IS7I was Valued at $7,113,fi1u. The assessed valuation of cattle in 1871 was $4,750,000 and Of sheep $525,000. Disclaimed that tho annual wool product exceeds 2,000,600 pounds, and that, the value of farm and garden products during the past five years lias averaged $1,250,000 each year. Theunnual lumber products is 90,000- 000 feotj valued at. $775,0ne. In 1871, $05,000 in internal revenue taxes was collected by Colorado, being a larger sum than was collected in either Ne vada, Oregon or Vermont. Col orado has now fifty-six organ ized towns, 100 small settlements and about 220 post,offices, and claims for Denver, the capital, a population of 22,000. There are 007 miles of railway now in operation, and 150 more'will, be added during the present; year. There arc six daily and thirty-eight weekly newspapers in tho Territory; eleven national and twenty-live pri vate bunks; 300 school districts and 275 schools in operation, with 11,500 pupils enrolled. It will bo seen from these statistics, which we gather from a Denver letter in the New Vink Times, that Colorado possesses the nucleus of a great State. It was riot on aceouut ol' her natural resources, however, that tho admission act was passed ; but because “from the first organization of Colorado Territory in 1802, every delegate to Congress, J I every Legislature and every impor tant official lias been Republican uu til last year a Democrat was elected to Congress,” a result of a bitter feud in tile Repqbliean party.

Although now-a-days we I see u grato many fleshy females, yet ' there are many lean and lank ones who sigh for the fashionable meas ures of plumpness, and who would be vastly improved in health and ap pearence could their figure be roun ded with good solid flesh. Nothing j j is more coveted by thin women tliuii I !a full figure, and nothing else will j so rouse tho Ire and provoke the j scandal of the “oUpper-builds’’ as the consciousness of plumpness in a i rival. In cases of fover and Summer J complaint milk is now, given with excellent results. The idea that milk is “feverish” has exploded, and it is now the physician’s great reliance ( in bringing through typhoid patients, or those in too low a state to bo nourished by solid food. It is a great mistake t.o scrimp tho' milk pitcher. Take more milk anil buy less meat. Look to your milkmen, have large-size, well-filled milk pitch ers on the (able each meal, and you will also have sound flesh and light doctor’s bills. Cot<mii Hills ol Ills smith. Northern spinners feel the general dullness of trade. Homo of them I have closed thoir doors,, and many are working short time. Tho South ern mills continue steadily at work, but have doe lured reduced dividends. The Augurta factory and t hoGramto villo mill, pav, for instance, only two percent, for t lio mmrtoi'cnding July Ist. Beyond tlie depression of busi ness, of which mention inis been made, the Northern mills are affect ed more seriously than ever by south ern competition. They are being driven out of the market by the Southern spinners of heavy goods, and the tune is fast approaching when they must close up or come Houl h. Iu the meanwhile tho cost, of machinery has fallen considerably, the price of labor and materiel is low, and, therefore, no more favorable season for building new mills, In tho South, could be had. This Is under stood, wo are glad to see, by the gen tlemen Who arb getting up the new mill in Atlanta. They will bo ready for work next fall, by which time business will be brisk again, and they will be in condition to float on tho top of the t ide. There is millions in it. —Churlentun Courier. The Democratic Htnto Convemfon of California “hits the nail squarely on the head.” The first, resolution makes a square attack upon the present National Administration in respect to its Southern policy, de claring in effect that "ono portion of tho Union is ground with taxation to keep another portion of the Union iu bankruptcy and servitude.” The second resolution recounts nearly all the nets of the Administration which have been criticised and condemned by party organs during the last four years. The third resolution declares for a strict construction of tho Con stitution, in favor of a tariff for reve nue only, and a currency convertible into gold anil silver at the will of the holder; against a wasteful system of internal improvements, and in favor of strict economy iu all the Htnto,! county, and town governments. The I fourth opposes any division of the school fund. The fifth declares that t ho right of the Government to regu- 1 late corporations, and the duty to do so when they need it, is Democratic doctrine, and also assorts the right and duty of the Government to pre serve the waters oftho State for pub lic uses. Other resolutians condemn subsidies, demand such amendments to tho Burlingame Treaty with China as shall reduce it to a mere commer cial convention, l'avor a Constitu tional Convention, urge I lie speedy completion of the transcontinental railroad on the thirty-second paral lel, oppose a prohibitory law and any legislation interfering with social habits, and condemn land manopoly. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee was there also, in command of the Virginians. The I Boston Jdvi'rtisi’i •, while the shouts of tho intermingling hosts and guests were ringing in its ears, was remind ed to reproduce tho memorable words of Mr, Lincoln, uttered in March, 1801 ; “Wo aro not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies -though possion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart ami hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Un ion, ivlien again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature!” The latest story of Russian extrav agance over an actress is told of Mine. Judin, the bouff'o singer, who is to be Imported to America next fall. She lias closed a six weeks’ sea son in St. Petersburg, and it is calcu lated that the profits of it were suffi cient, if invested, to insure her an income of 1(1,000 francs a year tho rest of her life. At her last performance she received a suite of diamonds worth 20,000 francs; a dart for the head-dress In brilliants, with a sap phire as large as a pigeon’s egg, valued at 80,000 francs, and a dia mond bmcalot worth 62,000 francs. Every paper money system of the world has been a failure. A cash business cannot be done on a credit basis, and giving a promise to pay a debt does not pay it. There is noth ing but failure and disaster in the system, and the instruction of tho country in this hard problem, which they are working out by a toilsome process, will not lie delayed by the proclamations of demagogues and political empirics.

New York, July 9. — Jacob Rubino, the recent heavy ‘'Bull” in the Gold Exchange, whose embarrassments and final susspension were reported yesterday, settled up with his credi tors in full to-day. It is said that lie obtained aid from Russell Sago, the great millionaire, speculator and cap italist, by Sage’s taking up half a mil lion of Rubino’s contracts for him this morning. Rubino is said to bo the only loser in the gold speculation. His losses will probably not exceed a quarter of a million in gold, and half us much more in stocks. NO LOSS. F. H.

London, July 9. -Tho Times, In an article on Lord Dufferens’ speech, gays Canada has been advancing rap idly, but not so fust or with so free a tread as the United States. If any Canadians formerly felt a lurking wish to join tho Republic they beonmo loyal when ttiey saw the enormous load of debt and taxes left by the civil war. Canadians might, however, have sought annexation ere this in some fit of petulance, if the mother country had left them any grievances; but, on the whole, they scarcely felt the restraint of imperial government. Canadian loyalty has beon admirable but wo may yet have to call for larger proofs of patriotism, if wo in tend to knit tho colonies into a firmer union with the mother country, so as to make them a source of strength instead of weakness, in time of war.

Official information roeelvodat tho Treasury Department to-day, from St. Louis, states that there is no evi dence tending to prove that Mr. G. W. Fishbaek has been In any way connected with tho whiskey frauds. The absurd story connecting Mr. Fallback's name with tho operations of the Whiskey Ring, has never been credited except by certain parties anxious to give circulation to sensational stories, all of which have been inspired by irresponsible parties in Washington and St. Louis. Tho name of Mr. A. H. Holt, present Chief Clerk of tho Internal Revenue liuroau, has also been unjustly con nected with tho operations of the Ring. Mr. Holt’s superior officers have every confidence In his honesty and integrity, and authorize the statement that there is nothing within their knowledge tending to east the least suspicion upon Mr. Holt in regard to Chief Clerk Avery. Tho charges made against him have not been substantiated by any docu mentary evidence, so far as is known to tho treasury officials, and the character of tho individual, who makes tho charges, as well as those who give them extended cir culation, is such as to preclude the possibility of their making tho ieust impression in respectable circles in the übsouce of proper corrobative tostimon y.

Inasmuch as tho subject is still un der advisement at tho Treasury De partment, the announcement that Secretary Brewster hod made a reply was not only premature, but the state ment puriiorting to give tho nature of such reply was wholly unwarrant able and unauthorized.
