THE DAILY TIMES. ColambUM. On.. W! .1 N'ESDAY . L NOVEMBER 17. Jjg KUAKCI* FONTAINE. I _ _ Kd|Uir> <5. H. WILLIAM*. I 9 ~V 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.
