r.a BfIKST DAILY OIEODLATION
In (It. and Nilliurtn.
In view of the fact that ex-I’resi
(lent Davis has accepted the Presi
dency of the Mississippi Valley Hoc!-
ety, we surrender much of our space
In order to Bhow the character of the
Association and tho objects of the
enterprise.
Wtluem I has given $12") toward a
monument for Karl Wilhem, the
composer of the famous “Watch on
tho Rhine.”
A sos of tho Hon. Daniel \V. Voor
hees, it is said, will soon make his
appearance! upon tho stage in the
character of Hamlet, which he is now
studying.
The London Times will have a col
umn of special telegrams concerning
t he Prince of Wales during his Indian
trip. It wiil cost about live thousand
dollars a day.
Thu Baltimore Gazette says: Tho
Southern States uro now attracting
greater attention throughout the
country as an inviting hold for emi
gration, and especially in the West
and Northwest. This is gratifying
intelligence.
The St. Louis Republican says the
probability that the National Banks
will come before the next Congress
for some pretty severe legislation,
gives Interest to an effort now being
made by the Comptroller of the Cur
rency to ascertain the amount of the
tuxes they pay.
The Chicago Tribune, which is
liret-rate authority on such subjects,
says that crimes against women,
New England, tho laud of the
“higher law, God and morality par
ty,” now leads the world. Almost
every mail brings tho news of some
diabolical atrocity-such ns rape,
followed be murder of tho victim,
and other crimes too noxious to men
tion in a decent, journal.
It seems almost certain that tho
passengers ami crew of tho ill-fated
steamship City of Waco, recently
burned off tl harbor of Gulveston,
have ail been lost. The owners of
tiio vessel are to bo prosecuted for
carrying oil without a proper certifi
cate. They should bo made to suffer
severely for their criminal careless
ness, as they might, us well have per
mitted the shipment of a quantity of
gunpowder on tho vessel and have
stored it about the upper decks.
HI Kimball Ills Photograph by u
Itaillrul Juilwr.
The last issue of the Sunny South
complains that no clubs are formed
and but few subscriptions are re
ceived now that business has revived
and money is easier. From tho same
issue we clip this :
“Our Atlanta Factory, under the
management of Mr. H. 1. Kimball, is
ussuming colossal proportions. His
energy and enterprise are worthy the
admiration ami imitation of every
Southerner. It now looks as though
we are really to have a cotton fac
tory.”
Does not tho Sunny Soutli see in
such fulsome praise of the great de
veloper an explanation of tho eauso
of the scarcity of subscriptions about
which it complains? Even if the
cotton fuotory is not embarrassed
(as is currently reported), plundered
Georgia will always resent the sug
gestion which holds up Hi Kimball
as a man worthy of either “admira
tion” or “Imitation.”
The Evening Daily Commonwealth,
of At lunta, places a different estimate
upon Hi. Referring to tho opinion
of Judge Woods, given iu tho ease of
Henry Clews & Cos. versus The Chero
kee Railroad Company, the Common
wealth says:
“In the course of his judgment, this
Radical Judge presents a striking
photograph of this prince of carpet
baggers. Ho says Kimball’s evidence
is incredible, and shows with a mas
ter hand that his statements, though
made under oath, were conscious
falsehoods. Such, let the reader re
member, is the sentence of a Radical
United States Judge. And yet there
are Democrats ami Democratic jour
nals, so called, who are ever ready
with an apology for tho brazen im
postor.
“Rogue and perjuror ! Twice a
bankrupt since the war, and yet the
builder ami owner of palatial resi
dences, the adroit manipulator of im
pecunious Southern newspapers, aud
the President of an Atlanta manu
facturing company! Wo do not won
der that the very ground on which
tho city stands was shaken by an
earthquake lust night. Even tho sur
rounding hills, dyed in the blood ot
brave men and scorched by fire and
battle, shake their angry heads in
protest against this shame.”
Short Weltcliteil Raisin*.
A Wasingtou writer says: The Gov
ernment of Spain complained,
through our Secretary of State, that
while the law there compels the use
of boxes holding twenty pounds for
raisins, many boxes In which raisins
are shipped to this country hold only
sixteen pounds, the boxes being so
heavy. The Secretory of the Treasu
ry says he can do nothing about it,
because it presents to him simply a
question of tare iu collecting duties.
But this is good general information,
interesting to country and retail
dealers. The city importers know
all about the swindle.
Sudden Death of a Young Ladt.—
The Shreveport (La.) Times savs:
“About 5:30 o’clock lust evening Miss
Sallie Ford, one ofthe most beautiful,
accomplished, and universally be
loved youug ladies of Shreve|>ort,
died suddenly while in apparently
the most perfect health. She was
standing in the parlor of the Battle
House in conversation with Dr.
Ford, when heobserved her turtmid
denly i>aie. and asked her if she .was
not about to faint. She replied.’ ‘O;
worse than that!’.and immediately
sank on a chair and then to the lloor.
She was immediately taken to an ad
joining room and placed on a bed,
when every effort was made to revive
her, but without avail.'*
If captains were^esareckless, there
would be less wrecks.
The Inconsistency of flic •‘rieinUn*
American Jfewwnatr.”
The New York Tribune, of the 12th
inst., contains extract| from the Lon
don Timefand*Hta ndjjfd relative to
tho pfeesontatMi of the Jackson
statue to Virginia by Englishmen.
Tho former condemns the act, and the
laltor sustains It. The Tribune, ap
parently, gloats over the expressions
of the London Times; meanwhile, in
an article under tho caption, “The
Value of Monuments,” it advocates
the erection of a Jtatue to Abraham
Lincoln in London In the following
terms:
“This is a monument of tho popu
lar sagacity, which summoned such a
man t,o such a place at such a time.
It honors one of the most important
social changes which the world ever
witnessed, and one of the noblest. It
tells of the vulor, patriotism, perse
verance, of a free people. It speaks
of a period in which justice, human
ity, and public consistency asserted
themselves. The gradual disappear
ance of Human Slavery is one of the
remarkable phenomena of the nine
teeuth century. Tills tower wilt, tell
of millions’ enfranchised by a single
stroke of the pen.
“To say the truth, there is no peo
ple upon the broad face of the earth
which might not witli propriety pay
the same tribute to our martyred
President. Ho long as names are
associated with events, his will be
coupled with that act of statesman
ship which hid the oppressed go
free.”
The Tribune ignores the fact that
this “emancipation proclamation”
was not an act of magnanimity, but a
war measure. ,Mr. Lincoln would have
gladly made peace at an earlier date
without touching upon the abolition
of slavery. Again—tho act was one
which required no sacrifices on the
part of the United States, but robbed
the South of $3,000,000,000. Unlike
the statesmanlike act of the Emperor
of Russia, the rights of the owners
of slaves were ignored, and the whole
Soutli was impoverished as by a
sirocco blast. On the contrary, the
material wealth of Russia was en
hanced by the abolition of serfdom.
It is next to impossible that the atro
cious incendiary, Gen. Wilson, should
not have known that Gen. Lee had
surrendered when, ten dags after that
surrender had bean made, lie con
verted the factories, foundries, and
all manufacturing enterprises in Co
lumbus into ashes, together with
sixty thousand hales of cotton, worth
lit that time $12,240,000. That act
threw tiiis fair city a liulf century
behind in material wealth. We are
willing to accord to Mr. Lincoln all
the grand virtues of his private char
acter, but wo do not see any mag
nanimity in the proclamation of
emancipation. As to Wilson, the
vandalism committed here was not
excelled by Atilla himself.
Col. Forney writes as follows to the
Philadelphia Press concerning the
Mississippi Talley Society of Great
Britain:
Now let me turn to another side of
the, financial picture, in tho midst
of this Turkish panic my friend,
Edward D. Holton. Centennial Com
missioner from Wisconsin, asked me
to accompany him to the interna
tional Chamber of Commerce, where
the Mississippi Valley Society have
fine rooms. The President of the
Society is John Crossiuy, Esq., M. I’.,
and his associates are all English
men of the highest character. Their
special objects are stated as follows:
First. To fix attention upon the
Valley of the Mississippi as the great
coming market; the world’s new thea
tre of production and consumption.
Second. To promote the applica
tion of European capital to the de
velopment of this market; to the cul
tivation of the soil; tho working of
the mines; tho improvement and
cheapening of inland aud ocean trans
portation, and the establishment of
direct trading.
Third. To direct. European labor to
the same objects.
Fourth. To establish in Europe the
legitimate business credit of the
South Atlantic aud Valley States by
defending the integrity of honest op
erations against unfounded prejudice;
by furnishing correct information
about public and private enterprise;
by preventing tho adoption of imma
ture undertakings by exposing ad
venturous schemes and impostures,
aud by promoting greater personal
intercourse between (tie two peoples.
In conversation with tho directors
I found that they had fixed upon the
United (States us after all the safest
in which to invest British capital,
and I need not tell you that the ex
plosion in regard to Turkish securi
ties has given extraordinary empha
sis to their mission. At a moderate
calculation there are now in London
from $600,000,000 to $800,000,000 in
gold upon which literally no interest,
is paid, and which needs only assu
rance of seuurity to induce its invest
ment at moderate rates. Tills Mis
sissippi Valley Society proposes to
examine and report upon the re
sources of the entire Mississippi Val
ley by means of deputations to be
sent out, by the parent office during
the summer and autumn of 187(5. Tho
chairman of tho Executive Commit
tee, N. V. Squarey, Esq., is an expe
rienced traveler, having visited near
ly all the countries on the ‘globe, in
cluding tho United States, and it was
very interesting to hear him give his
reasons why the money oft lie Eng
lish could, after all that has happen
ed in our country, ho more profitably
trusted with us than with any other
nation in the world. Mr. Crossley,
the President, has only lately re
turned from America with the
same impressions. As yet they have
not selected the branches with which
they intend to correspond and co
operate, but the scheme of their dep
utations is comprehensive and shows
the earnestness of the undertaking.
There are six committees -one on
real estate loans, one on mining and
mineral investments, one on public
railway and other corporate securi
ties, one on laws regulating invest
ments, one on the agriculture and
immigration, and one on the direct
trade with Europe. The first depu
tation. which starts from New York
to Philadelphia on the 15th of July,
1876. for purposes of exploration, will
consist of not less than fifty nor
more than one hundred members.
The second, same number, will start
from the same cities on the 15th of
August, 1875; the third, same num
ber, will start from the same cities
September 15, 1876; the fourth, Oc
tober 15, 1876; the fifth, November
: 15,1876. Each deputation will occu
py about thirty days, and the Ameri
can cities and towns at which each is
to stop are marked out on the prin
ted circular, and the days the depu
tation is to remain. Mr. John Cross
lev, M. P., the President, prints a
copy of a letter addressed to the
branches of the society in Aemiea,
which I give entire:
London, August 25,1875.
J)ear Jjir: 1 have the pleasure to for
ward herewith a paper containing
t he particulars of a project which has
been prepared by the Executive Com
mittee, with the view to carry into
j (tactical effect one of the primary
proposals of our society. The two
years’ experience which the commit
tee have had, as well as my own ob
servations while enjoying your hos
pitalities last autumn, has only
served to strengthen the opinion wo
entertained at tne beginning, namely,
that Hie best wav of promoting the
direct business aud money o|ierutioris
which we desire is to bring our capi
talists and business men into person
al contact with your good jieople and
enable them to see for themselves
the nature and extent of your re
sources, and the fine opportunity
your country offers for the employ
ment of capital and labor, and for
the prosecution of trade uud com
merce.
Tho committee regard the circum
stances which now exist as peculiar
ly favorable for making an effort in
this direction. Our trade is not so
prosperous as it has been some of
our leading foreign markets having
become temporarily exhausted; our
unemployed capital is abundant be
yond precedent, aud the difficulty of
investing it is shown by the low
rates at which it is offered.
The lending rate of tho Bank of
England is now two per cent, the
lowest point ever touched while
money is freely offered in the open
market at IJ to 15 per cent, on good
commercial paper. We are, there
fore, passing through a season of
dull trade and cheap money, two
circumstances which must dispose
our people to seek for new markets
arid safe foreign investments.
When to these is added the addition
al fact that special atttention is now
being directed to tho United States
by the forthcoming Centennial Ex
hibition ut Philadelphia, which will
be a powerful inducement for many
Europeans to visit your shores next
summer, I think that the views of
tho committee, as to tho opportune
ness of the time for carrying our de
signs into practice, will be shared by
all the members of the society.
I need hardly say that the scheme
herewith submitted is subject to
modification.
The committee wish yon to regard
it as a statement of what the parent
society consider desirable ami prac
tical, and what they are prepared to
undertake, provided the American
members uro willing to co-operate
earnestly in tlie work. The commit
tee do not propose to take any active
steps in the matter until replies are
received from the branches, as it will
tie necessary to have all arrange
ments completed in the United
States before presenting tho scheme
in tills country.
It will not bean easy matter, under
tiie most favorable circumstances, to
induce a large number of our capital
ists and business men to undertake
so long a journey, notwithstanding
that it may be largely to their inter
est. to do so, and the committee deem
it necessary to be able to place before
them a definite programme, with as
many advantages and attractions as
can possibly be offered.
The usefulness of this undertaking
will depend not only upon the
efficiency with which tlie deputations
make and record their observations,
but also upon the confidence reposed
m them by our people. The com
mittee have carefully considered the
subject from this point of view, and
have come to the conclusion that
each deputation should number one
hundred or thereabouts, and should
be so constituted as to fairly and in
fluentially represent the various
separate interests which we seek to
promote. The committee will be
glad to receive any suggestions that
you may be pleased to make in this
connection, for while their knowledge
of the distrust, of American invest
ments, which unhappily prevails ut
the present time, enables t hern to de
vise a plan which will probably prove
most effectual in restoring confidence,
nevertheless their want of exact in
formation respecting your local af
fairs make it necessary that they
should depend very largely upon the
co-operation of the American
branches in arranging tho details so
as to bring tho movement to a suc
cessful issue.
In conclusion, I am to urge upon
you the necessity of giving this mat
ter attention at the earliest conve
nient moment. I have already ob
served that no action can bo taken
on this side until a general under
standing is come to with the
American branches. This will hard
ly be effected without further corres
pondence, and as it. is most desirable
that we should bo prepared to take
action here by the Ist of December,
you will readily understand that
there is no time to lose. I remain,
dear sir. yours truly,
John Crossley, President.
There have been so many schemes
of every description intended to di
vert British capital to America, many
of them failures and some of them
impostures, that the project I now
have the honor to explain deserves
from its high respectability the seri
ous attention of our people.
AVI ml lli-iomes of flic Alcohol we
111-Ink.
Now, after an investigation ofavery
elaborate character, says the Popular
Science Monthly, Dr. Anstleaud Drs.
Tbndichum and Dupre have satisfac
torily proved that only a very small
portion of the spirit which is taken
into a living body is expelled out of
that body as alcohol, in the secre
tions, anu that there must be some
other means by which the spirit is
disposed of in the system. In one
very remarkable and memorable ex
periment, Dr. Anstie gave a dog,
weighing ten pounds, the liberal dose
of two thousand grains of alcohol in
ten days, and on the last day of the
ten he administered ninety-live grains
of the spirit as a final dose, ami then
two hours afterward killed the dog,
and immediately subjected the whole
body blood, secretion, llesli mem
branes, brains ami bone—to rigorous
analysis, and be found in the whole
texture of the body only about twen
ty-three and a half grains of spirit.
The other 1,976 grains had clearly,
therefore, been turned into some
thing else within the living system.
These experiments directly refer
to our query—the settlement of the
food-power of alcohol as a doctarine
] of physiological science.
Before reasoning out this proposi
tion, we must suite certain facts
which it seems impossible to recon
cile with any other theory t han that
alcohol iS a food. Dr. Anstie relates
the ease of an old soldier who was
under his care at the Westminister
! hospital iu 1861, who had lived for
twenty years upon a diet composed
of a bottle of unsweetened gin and
“one small tlnger-length of toasted
bread” per day, and who maintained
the structures of his hotly for this
long period upon that remarkable re
gimen. Similarly an old Roman sol
dier admired bv the Emperor Augus
tus, when asked how he managed to
keep up such a splendid develop
ment. replied, "With wine within
and oil without.”
It is said that the mules in the Penn
sylvania coal mines, hundreds of feet
below the service and half a mile from
the shaft, have the epizootic, al
though none of them have been above
ground in months.
THE TIMES: WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER IT, 1875.
Water Trmnportnttan.
The ColumbusiGa.) Times, inadvo
eutlng t.tio commercial advantages of
J Columbus, which is situated at the
' head of navigation of the Chattahoo
chee river, appears to udVuuee the
doctrine that water transportation is
one of the greatest advantages and
tiie surest means of developing the
prosperity of a town or city. An in
stance is given of Pittsburgh, Pa.,
which, from a small frontier town,
has increased to a city of 130,000 peo
ple, solely by its manufactures and
t lie facilities of water transportation.
Tiiis may beall very true, but it oe
curs to us that agreatdeal of Pitts
burgh’s commercial importance and
increased population is due, to a
certain extent, to the railroad facili
ties for transporting freight and pas
sengers. True, the rates are high
and there is much mismanagement,
but trains run regularly, which
boats on the Ohio cannot do, owing
to the lack of water. A great op
position was manifested to the rail
road enterprises projected in the
Soutli and Southwest, but. when cot
ton could be transported toa market
by railroad at $2 per bale, with al
most a certainty of its arriving at
Memphis, St. Louis and New Orleans
in time to take advantage of the
high prices, the low water, stings
detentions at the various small land
ings, disaffection of hands and the
generally dilapidated heats, made it
a matter of doubt whether tho cotton
or any other product would reach
its destination in ten days or two
weeks; and if the water rates were
oiie-lialf of the railroad tariff, it
would not pay as well, considering
the time lost and the damaged con
dition in which boat cargoes are fre
quently delivered. Speed is the
great desideratum. We have some
staunch sailing ships, but preference
in generally given to ocean steamers,
and if a railroad could be built across
the Atlantic, the preference would be
given to it in place of the steamers.
Wall Street Ileview.
The Nerd of I,oral Currency.
“If prices are not now rising, it cer
tainly is not for lack of money in New
York and other great cities to buy
what, is offered iu the market.” So
we are told by a leading New York
paper. And here comes in the beauty
of tho national banking system.
Money is plenty to extravagant su
perabundance “in New York and
other great cities” to gamble in gold,
bonds, stocks and in the products of
the earth. But there is not enough
outside of “New York and the other
great cities” to lend to the producer
to buy seed to sow, to buy food to
fatten ids cattle, his horses, or his
mules for market, or to purchase
hogs to eat his surplus corn, or to pay
the transportation of such stock as
he may have ready for market. The
rushing of all tiie blood to the head is
just as certain death as the loss of
blood from the veins or arteries. So
the aocumnlation of all the currency
of the country, though there be too
much, “in New York and the other
great cities,” is just as fatal to com
merce, to agriculture and to all legiti
mate enterprises and investments, is
just as fatal to the prosiierity of the
people as though tiie currency hail
been contracted to one-tenth of the
present amount. The only certain
preventive is for each State to have a
limited local currency. Then, how
ever much tiie general circulation
may be temporarily disturbed, there
will always be in each member of the
body politic a suffeient local circula
tion to prevent congestion or apo
plexy. Nashville American.
Jay Gould, the active enemy of the
Texas and Pacific railroad, was very
severely hauled over the coals in New
York ut a meeting of the bondholders
of the New Jersey Southern railroad.
Some of the bondholders objected to
turning the road over to the manage
ment of Jay Gould, denouncing him
as “a financial vampire that threw
railroads into bankruptcy, as he had
the New Jersey Southern, for his
own benefit.” One gentleman saw
tit to remark:
The name of Jay Gould is anew
verb in the English language; it
means embezzlement, and l will
never sign anything in which be fig
ures. for he bus eased road, as he
has caused other roads; to go into
bankruptcy.
