French backs to basques arc not us#d
this winter.
Vests are still worn in drosses both wool
en and silk.
Fur and feathers are the rival trimmings
for silk and woolen goods.
Wings and birds this season are used to
an excess on hats and bonnets.
The most appropriate trimming for al
paca Is knife plaiting of the same.
The double-breasted French jacket of
lastseason is to lie much more worn this
season.
The toque felt hat Is a very popular hat
for general wear, but they have been worn
some time.
Every effort is being made to restore po
lonaises; but, as yet, none have appeared
on the street.
Basques are now made with very long
waists—not a comfortable stylo for short
waisted persons.
Bio soft twilled and basket-woven rib
bons are much used for back bows and
streamers of hats.
Combination suits still continue in
vogue. These suitings are too stylish
and showy to lose favor.
Dressmakers still talk of shirred
llouneos and knife plaitings. The plait
lngs are much liner this season.
Such dark shades arc selected for cos
tumes now that light gloves arc worn to
brighten up the toilet
Some of the new suitings, now soon on
exhibition, are plaid and striped woolens,
combinedwith woolen.
Many of the new basques and overskirts
havonotrimndng, only a simple cording
of the dress material, particularly expen
sive goods.
Fichus are now mode on the wedding
garments, somotimes of the material of
the dress anil sometimes, of white tulle
laid In pleats or puffs.
The blue black glovo of last season has
reappeared. The grape color, a rich dark
shade, will find much favor, it being a now
shade just out.
Some of the sleeves this season are very
much trimmed by folds and Irregular
pleats, and again some only have a deep
cuff to the elbow.
Buffalo Hill Combination.
This renowned company have an en
gagement to play next Saturday night in
the opera house, and In the afternoon will
give a matinee. The Savannah Nows, a
lino critic, has this to say on the merits
of the troupe:
The audience which assembled at the
Theatre last evening was not so large as
the merits of the company subsequently
proved they deserved. "Buffalo Bill” is
the Simon pure scout of the plains, and
the hero of divers thrilling novels. That
ho is the redoubtable personage Is estab
lished by the fact that Surgeon Dickson,
on duty with the Federal garrison in Sa
vannah now, was for some time associa
ted with Mr. Cody In the west, and upon
his arrival hero at onco sought him out to
extend courtesies to him. Mr. D. 11. Elli
ott, who Is now connected with the Atlan
tic and Gulf Railroad, but wlm was con
cerned in the building of the Kansas Rail
road, informs us that ho has known Mr
Cody for soino time and that he Is the very
"Buffalo Bill" whose fume as a bravo and
successful scout Is national. The Identity
of “Texas Jack” is equally authenticated,
and wo are convinced of the genuineness
of the cluims that have been made on l ids
score.
The <'onilnir Klectlon.
Mr. Editor: The suggestion made by
you a few days ago, that the approaching
Municipal election shbuld bo lifted above
the grade of party spirit, Is meeting witli
almost universal commendation. Wo have
heard of none who oppose it, except the
veriest devotees of personal antagonism
and ambition. None who have the inteh
eht of the city at heart, but must leap to
a proposition which can not fail to beneilt
it. The annual strifes which have char
acterized us in the selection of a Mayor
and City Council have given an instability
to the city’s movements and shaken the
confidence of those who hold, or would
seek our bonds. With a Mayor and Board
of Aldermen ehoson from those of our
citizens who arc above petty cliques or
strifes for office, ami thus known at home
and abroad, our goodly town would take
an immediate stop toward a more promis
ing future. Confidence would at once as
sume reign, and emigration and capital
oomo here seeking a home. Let the mat
ter receive still furthor attention.

The
Yesterday morning the case of the State
vs. Douglass Cadman, charged with
shooting Mr. Forbes, came on to be heard
boforo Justice Chappell. The defendant
tried to have a hearing but the prosecu
tors contented that the wounded man
was hanging on the thread of life,
and that at any moment they would not
be surprised at his death. After argu
ment for the prisoner by Messrs. Peabody
,fc Brannon, and for the proscution by
Messrs. Louis F. Garrard & Boland Bus
soli, the Court concluded to adjourn the
Court until Monday, that the injuries of
Mr. Forbes might be more definitely as
certained. His brother testified before
tiie Court that Mr. Forties did not know
him when ho reached iris bod side. Some
think him better, while others are very
doubtful as to his condition. l'r. Terry,

WILLIAMS AND COL. SAM FORD ON RATI
FICATION OF NEW CONSTITUTION.
Seale, Ala., November 6,1875.
Editor a Times: Your recent articles in
favor of having proper laws enacted to
protect the interests of the farmers,
prompt mo to write you.
The second week of Bussell Circuit Court
conics to a close to-day. This was the
week for trying criminal causes. About
fifty persons were in jail, and there were
several hundred Cases on the docket. Most
of the jail cases were for hog stealing, and
cattle, cotton and corn stealing. Lute acts
of the Legislature make this offence, which
was before a misdemeanor, a felony. It Is
now a felony to take and carry away any
portion of a growing crop, and burglary
to break into and enter any inclosure what
ever outside of the curtilage containing
goods, wares and merchandise. This em
braces a rail pen with cotton or corn in the
Hold. Petty larcenies of farm products
havo harassed our people intolerably since
the war, under Radical rule.
Judge Clayton, presiding in place of
Judge Cobb, took occasion to Inform all
concerned that the day of these larcenies
and “dead fulls” must come to an end. He
said that he felt he had a “special mission”
to perform while he presided as Judge—
and that was to visit condign punishment
on this class of offenders. That it had
been, and is now, an incubus on the pros
perity of Alabama. The white man and
colored who are honest, must lie left to
enjoy the fruits of their labor, free from
petty thieves and marauders. He said the
people need, moat, and if in his power, they
should be allowed to raise It. That hog
stealing is now a felony, and he intended
to Use aft the powers of his office to put
those who do not regard the rights of
honest people, where they can not wrong
them.
Judge Clayton will sentence twenty or
more of swell offenders us are Hist above
mentioned, to-day, all of whom were con
victed after trial this week.
Judge C. is an admirable Judge. Genial
in social life, and courteous and mild in
manner, but firm on the bench, he pre
serves the most perfect order without a
seem ng effort. He was one of our distin
guished Major Generals in the late war,
and the means by which ho attained that
distinction can readily lie discovered from
Ids excellent executive abilities shown on
the bench. Tho civic wreath already en
twines Itself gracefully around the sword
of the military hero. Success to Judge C.
arid "his mission"!
Judges Clayton and Cobb have done
much good In this “mission,” and we have
no doubt they will well deserve n monu
ment to their memory from the honest
farmers, before their first term expires.
On Monday night Col. W. H. Barnes and
Judge Fern M. Wood, of Opelika, volun
tceml in the case of The State vs. J. M.
Russell, to represent Georgia lawyers who
had been indicted for violating the revenue
laws of Alabama. In exhaustive speeches
they showed that the Georgia lawyer was
entitled, as a mutter of right, to practice
law in Alabama under Ids license and taxes
paid in Georgia. That Alabama lawyers
were allowed the same privilege in Geor
gia; and there was not only a comity, but
a contract fora consideration, between the
two Stales. That this should bo so; that
until Georgia shall violate her contract by
refusing Alabama lawyers the right to
practice within her borders on the license
and tyxos paid In their own State, Alabama
could not and would not violate her agree
ment.
Judge Clayton, in n dear, compact and
lucid charge, decided that any Georgia
lawyer, licensed, and complying with the
laws of that State, and having his place
of business in that State, could not be
liable to the Alabama ™ venue laws.
This decision discharged numbers of
your lawyers besides the one whose case
was discussed. Thanks to those gentle
men for their courtesy! They are two of
the ablest lawyers in East Alabama, and
their thorough investigation of tills ques
tion, added to the opinion of an able Judge
thereon, should settle the matter.
You have been informed already of the
disposition made of thoEiland anil Scab.
Walker cases. A strange coincidence hap
pened during the trial of the latter: Two
juries were out at the same time -one on
a case of murder and another for larceny
against two brothers.
Col. W. H. Barnes spoko on Tuesday on
the ratification of the new Constitution.
Ho uses the eimetar of keen, flashing wit
ami humor, and the maoo of crushing logic,
at will, in his speeches.
Hon. Jere Williams and Col. William F.
Samford addressed the people on the same
subject on Thursday In an able and elo
quent style.
A crisis has evidently come in the affairs
of Alabama. Every lover of constitutional
liberty should go to the polls on the 10th
Inst., and ratify the acts of the late Con
vention. We think the people are being
thoroughly aroused to the great work.

she will meet with the proper encourage

beginning to lapse into autumn, the
“Great London,” in common with all
shows, sets out units southward tour,
seeking golden harvests, leaving behind
the frosts that foretell the winter’s near
ing advent. Louisville being the most ad
vantageous point from which to enter
upon the new field, the Ist of September
found it once more in the city, with tho
banners it had llung in tho spring still
flying, and its equipments and appoint
ments still complete, everything indica
ting that the people among whom it had
spent tho interval had been abundantly
appreciative of the many and diverse at
tractions which arc aggregated beneath
the spreading canvas. The show travels
by railroad only, and it requires forty
two caUf built expressly for tho purpose,
to convey its people, features and effects.
At the Ohio Fall Car Works, in Jefferson
ville, the guago of the tracks Ims boon
changed to that of tho Southern roads, so
that it can now proceed to tne Gulf with
out difficulty and rapidly. For this reason
the exhibitions are not given at points re
mote from the railway lines. It will there
ore lie seen at once that tho “Great Lon
don” is no tly-by-night affair, but an en
terprise that requires money and brains
to inaugurate, and the approbation of the
people at large to be maintained. T hat it
has proven a bonanza to its proprie
tors, is sufficient evidence that it travels on
its merits, and commands the patronage
of tho public. The exhibition yesterday
afternoon, and on tho Kean property,
Sixth and Kentucky streets, was largely
attended, despite the oppressive tempera
ture. In tho morning the street parade
took place, which attracted dense masses
all along the route. The pageant was
very fine. There were six golden chari
ots, each of which was resplendent with
n irrors, grotesque carving, classic and
allegorical representations in elaborate
stucco. Tho horses forming the caval
eado Were in excellent condition, all show
ing that their grooming and stabling had
received careful attention. The glittering
and varied costumes of the riders, and the
gleaming caparisons of the horses, shone
in the sunlight with line effect. The cages
are highly ornamented, nml altogether
the procession as it wended its slow way
through tho crowded thoroughfares,
stretching along nearly a dozen squares,
was a sight to be remembered. The per
formances wore snperior in every respect
to the usual run. The programme em
braced a varietty of arenic features, in
cluding vaulting, trapeze nets, bareback
riding, the remarkable movements ami
feats executed by the five elephants, the
trained dogs, and the Indian scenes, all of
which evoked the hearty applause of the
spectators.
