They oare nothing for murder and anarchy, so that they can retain office and plunder the Htute. - - • ■ It Is announced that a marriage is probable between Alphouso XII of Hpaln, ami his oousin.

In the city of Berlin, the city law provides fqr a tin box to be attached to the lamp posts, Into which boxes the Hinokers are requested to deposit the stumps of their cigars. These stumps are saved, and mudo into snuff, the sale of which for the past year was $20,000, all of which has been devoted to benevolent uses in taking care of the poor. Hays the Han Francisco Call: “Doubtless a lurgo portion of the Alabama debt Is fraudulent, ns fur ns any benefit the people have de rived from it Is concerned. It has been created to pay subsidies to rail roads, and on pretence of carrying on some system of Internal improve ments. A large portion of It has gone into the pockets of a ring of contractors. Now the States repu diates; the family of State is dis graced, and American credit injured abroad. Yet we hear of none of these plunderers being brought to punishment. The New York Saw revives “The History of the Army of tho Cumber land” ‘‘written by Rev. Thos. Van- Horue, U. 8. A.” The said Van Horne proposes to carry out Gen. Geo. H. Thomas’ instructions viz, “write nothing but the truth.” Hut the review alluded to nhove containing oopious extrats of the volume, loads us to think that Lord Orford was right when he said “Quote we not history for that I know to be a lie.” The important tact well known to all who were opposed to that ‘■Army of tho Cumberland” during the time mentioned in the above his tory-.that at no time the Army of the Cumberland numbered less than six times that of the Confederate Army opposed to it has been pur posely omitted. Home day both Shannon and Van Horne will be prop erly confuted. The Impudence of the CincinnntiA’u guir-er passes belief. Here is what it says aheut Citrl Sehiirx and Mnuton Marble: If Carl Sehuns owns the German vote of this country, will somebody bo kind enough to tell ns peowlts Mr. Sohura? ' . „ Mr. Marble Mantel, of tpe Now York WmU, dentes that he fesvns aTIT the bonds of the United States. There was an impression abroad that this ■ old Tammany defender had pur- j chased the entire lot at a private j sale. jp. ’ r A Tiers Party ImislMe. Tho*per!msnt of* third pdlitioal party would he excwdlngly unfortu nate just now. There Is no possibili ty of sMOLe^jiattending the yent'tge. In limes of such great political ex uilenient, as tile present, there is no room for but two great, parties. The experiment was fully tried and with most Jimislreim results wilOU Gi'Culy was supported by a party composed of the dlsaffiicrted of both {lolllieal parties. Tho Houtb in that issuo was impelled more by tho desire to exhib it a conoiUatoiy disposition and to ac knowledge the results of tiio war Rian from any conviction as to its wisdom. The most recent proof of tho impolicy of attempting “le joule milieu";the middle course) in polities is tho crushing defeat of the Indc pendents jn California. That issue proved that there is no room for an independent organization in the next oleotioo. Tho Democratic party received a bare majority over both Republicans and Independents, leading a majority over both oomblned of 30,000. There must boa fusion of the dissatisfied of each of (tie great parties, but this “fusion” will amount to determined allegiance to one of those parties. People must now throw aside all mi nor objections and east their lot eith er with Democrats or Republicans. In the South, It is hardly necessary to say, the whites will not only act as a unit with the Democracy, but will strive.to break up the blind allegi ance of the colored people to the Rad ical party uod brltjg them in the Democratic fold. The Interests of the two races are identical, tho results of the war have been universally accepted by tho whites, and no one would deprive tho negroes of one partlcl oof their legal rights if lioeould. The colored man has his share of common sense, and will ultimately find out that his con dition is much better in tho States under Democratic rule, than in those where Northern Radicals, or South ern renegades hold power that they may defraud the people, and, like Bullock, carry Northward their ill gotten gains. . ♦ . The UmlaloiiH Census. The result of the Louisiana census places the population of the State at 859,345, an increase of 127,475. We do not believe that this census is ac curate. If it is, it is discretable to that of Saturday. The N. Y, World says of it: “Serious fruud or serious blunders must almost, inevitably exist in the census of 1870 or 1875 to explain an increase of one-seAeneth in a State where lleonsed plunder lias made property insecure and too often worthless. “The inerease of the colored popu lation in the lust, live years is placed at 85,814. and that of the wtiite at 42.209. In the decade from 1820 to 1830, to take opposite extremes, the negro increase, free ami slave, W 0845,768, and the white 18,058, while In tho decade from lsrsi to 1850 the white increase was 101,1105, and the negro, free and slave, but 88,002. In most of tho Intervals between one snd another it has been found, however, that the negro race, which began in 181 c with a majority in its favor of 7.934 in a total popula tion of 78,556, has Increased more rap idly than the white.” Tho reason why there was always a greater increase of negroes than of whites before the war in the South-western states was this : A planter in Georgia or Alabama, after working his plantation until the soil became impoverished moved West to buy richer land. The individual planter thus carried a soore or more of negroes. Hut for these rich Wes tern lands slavery would have been abolished sooner and more peacefully than It was. Cotton in Texas.—A correspondent of the Hhreveport Timer thus de scribes the crop alongside the Texas Pacific Railroad: The pleasure of the ride on a rail was only marred by the appearance of tho crops along tho lino of the road from Shreveport to, say, Will’s Point. If there was a passably respectable crop of corn or cotton on the route we failed to see it, and had not tho subject been too solemn to provoke mirth, one could have laughed hys terically at corn three feet high and not a semblance of a shoot, and cot ton from tour to six iuohcs high, in some instances without a loaf, and crowned with a single o;>ou boll, it looked like absolute starvation to the planters who hud been laboring to ac complish such a miserable result. The hard-money organ, tho New York World, has this facetious thrust at the in Hat ion organ, the Cincinnati J lnquirer: Since the death of that little jack ass which defeated the lioness in a pitched battle, the Cincinnati Enquir er hn* undertaken to rule Cincinnati— “AffncU tho bay. Assam**to bray. Ami fipouiH to Ut't it* lu oln' 1 against all that does not sort with its sense of Impropriety. The Now York World speaking of the great Fair at Nijni Novgorod, Russia, says: An event which annually attracts 1,000,000 people to one town and for six busy weeks swells its population from 20,000 to 150,000, beside bringing to its doors a trade of $20,000,000 a week duriug that period, deserves at tention. A eoRKKsroNDENT, in the Register, thus pictures Mobile: So long, then, as the cotton crop is our only support, it is evident that if more than one-half of that which for merly came to us goes elsewhere, Ymsiuess must languish and all classes of our people suffer in consequence. Tima it is that we find buildings of every sort in all parts of the city un occupied, rents declining, and the taxable value of ali kinds of property largely reduced. Between September, 1873, aud Sep tember, 1875, in less than two years, over one thousand millions of rail road bonds in the United States have been deelared "failed,” whioh means that the interest due to their owners has not been paid. .V.

THE TIMES: TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 2H, 1875. Tew York Uwropuiilraee. SABatooa, N. Y., Sept. 22,1875. Contrary to my expectations, when leaving homo, I am here again, after lan interval of -a twelve-month. The | season is a late one for Saratoga; for !as long as tho weather continues : warm the guests are loth to leave Its ! dry and bracing climate. Its healing ! waters, Its grand holds aniTsumptu-' lons fare; ita beautifully shaded ! streets, its gorgeous equipages, Its drives and lakes; besides, delicious . melody is dispensed gratuitously by ; the finest bands in America. All agree iu testifying that it lias been j the best season Saratoga has ever known. They will uot allow Sarato ga to be called a city; yet, to-day, it numbers twelve thousand jieoplo. The Grand Central Hotel burnt down a lew mouths ago will be still more majestic in its proportions; its cost is to be million dollars. The Grand Union, already palatial in Us apiKiintmeiits—erected at a cost of $1,250,000—is to bo udded to ami ex tended over tho remaining surface of the block, at an additional cost of a million dollars; provided, ot course, the proprietor, A. T. Stewart, can buy an Episcopal church that stands in the way. Mr. Stewart, lias offered the members a big price lor it, or to build them a much better one on a larger and moro eligible site. But they are holding out for a still higher price. Various other improvements in volving an outlay of largo Sums of cuslt are already projected and under way. Tho United States Hotel looks “spick and span now,” and is really colossal lu sloe, having the largest aft pacity of all. Tho capacity of the United States, Grand Union, and Congress, being respectively 1,500, 1,350 and 1,300. But to return to the Grand Union; tills Is owned and run by A. T. Stew art, in the name of Breslin & Cos., whom he pays a salary of sls,list per season of throe months. He says lie intends it shall bo the hotel of the place, and for him to will is to do. Speaking of Mr. Stewart, I saw him frequently day and night, and sur veyed him critically, aud I perceived neither in the expression of his eyes or in his tout ensemble anything that would Indicate the latent, but gigantic force of the man. He is seventy-six years of age, about five feet and eleven. incites high, weighing 165 pounds, erect as a West, Pointer, ltair and whiskers a beautiful brown -ap proaching auburn -entirely free of gray hairs, and presents the picture of bouyancy and vigor of a man of forty-five; his step is remarkable for its elasticity and firmness. Hitting with u party in tho grand parlor of tho Grand Union, and dis cussing Mr. Stewart at tile time, he walked in, but at once retreated from a battery of a thousand eyes that was immediately iqiened upon him, and withdrew to one of the smaller par lors. Ho we made a flank movement by the front gallery and packed our selves by and in a window command ing a good view of hint. We noticed several other groups at tracted by a similar curiosity, admir ing theonco boy podalor and present merchant prince. "And still tht*y gxxm!, and retill the wander gr.-w. That om* small head could carry *ll he ku*w. The most notable features of so ciety here is the extreme over dress ing Of the old ladles aud children. We saw a child of seven summers wearing solataire earrings valued at $500,000 the pair, tho rest of her toilet of the costliest continental fab ric an unlimited exchequer could command. But of over-dressed mar ried women. The ladies will par don me for paying my respects to a distinguished matron distinguished chiefly for her known immense wealth -immense to a degree of giv ing her a matronly reputation in that way. It was evening—confessing to a cringing admiration for all wornon in Iter exalted position, I can not say she comes up to the standard of my youthful dream of the goddess of beauty. Her hair was puffed and rolled ami frizzed, and crimped ; in tended doubtless, to relieve the un dulations of high cheek bone, ami painfully well defined crow’s feet, and us we were lost in tho arithmetic Involved in tbo furrows of her cheek, and the wrinkles upon her brow, she turned tier face and gave me tho bene fit of a profile view, just then it struck me that to a sitnillar fortunate cir cumstance was Beecher indebted for the inspiration of his expression, “the ragged edge of anxiety.” Hhe was decked in glittering dia monds of fabulous value, to say uoth i ingot the regulation cable-chain eu-, circling her neck, and the mosaic locket suspended thereto; of the! silk wore en train, knife plaited and ; of a color I would dub a compromise I between a lavendar and a purple, &e. j Wo are pleased to meet here the j elegant Miss L ,of Macon, who is, i in appearance, quite distingue, even j at the American Hpa, and, ns you know, Georgia claims as one of her, deservedly polular belles. We also met Oapt. W. D. Grant and ! wife, of Atlanta, the former one of j the ristng young men of Georgia, al-! ready holding a high rank among j railroad magnates, and tho prospect of a handsome fortune, the fruits of his own energy and enterprise. His wjfe many of you will recognize as Miss Snllie Fannie Reed, formerly of LaGmnge a reigning belle “in her day.” In New York we had a call, soon af- j ter registering at our hotel, from j Oapt. Chipley. It will be particularly j gratifying to his many friends in Co- j 1 lint bus to henr that his praise as a railroad man is upon all lips; notably so of his superior officers uud eo-la tiorers of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail road. His office is now in New York, and he is charged with the manage ment of the Southern business of this | great, corporation, and, we uuder ' stand, they say he is the best man 1 for the respective positions given him i they have ever had. Jo reroir. Faber. We find the two folloijiiig Itegls in tho Courier Journal ; g. Paducah Herald: Ai 11 he cx-fkinfed orato soldiers in the District are earn estly reqijsstedjlo meotTiit Mayfield on the SiMPfef nffretnoitln each man bringing with itim two days’ rations. We learn that it is derided That they will go into camp at Mayfield and make preparations for organizing a battalion, to be officered by Cross land, Cobb, Randle and others, for the pur|M)o of attending in a body the Centennial celebration at Phila delphia. Let every old soldier at tend, ninl a good time will certainly he the result, The object of the gathering is non-political in its char acter, and is in tender! simply as a re-! union of old comrades, for the pur- j pose of renewing aud strengthening ( the bonds of friendship formed' during tho terrible days of war. Paducah News ; We saw to-day at: the store of Mr. Wilson, on Murket j Square, tho only preserved piece Of "hard tuck” that, was Issued by Gen. | Grant, at Vicksburg, to the Coaled-: crate prisouers after the surrender of j thut city to the Federal troops twelve years ago. It is weavel and worm j eaten, aud is quite u curiosity. At the time of the surrender theCVmfed-1 erate troops had been subsisting on ! mule beer, With two ounces or fat baoou per ilay in which to fry the meat, and the reception of this hard tack was quite a luxury to half starved troops at that time. Law. but Nl equity—'Taxation ut Kall rimd lands. The New York llerahl has this to say on the above subject: The Supreme Coart of the United States delivered its decision, on the 2lst inst., in the eases whioh came up on an appeal from the Circuit Court relating to the right of a State to tax railway lands granted as a subsidy toward building railroads. The Su preme Court has decided that the railroad lands become subject to lo cal taxation as soon as the patent is sues vesting the title to the lands in the railroad company. But when the (latent has been withheld in conse quence of t lie neglect of the company to pay the expense* of survey or non fulnlinont of other conditions the lands are not taxable. This is. doubt less, law, because the Supreme Court so declare*. But. it would seem to operate as a premium to the railroad for postponing the fulfilment of its obligations, and deferring the issue of the patent. It may be law, but it is not equity, to make the failure of an obligation to the Federal Govern ment a reason for escaping a duty to the Htate. * *—* Matter-of-fact item from Spring field Republican: “Over 30,000 boxes of new German cologne have been shipped from a factory ut New Ca naan, Conn., since July 20th.” And what quantity of wooden nut- | megs wore shipi>ed at same time ? - • -♦ *- A BUt EE, but effective telegram : INMANOLA, Sept. 20, 1875.
