A foot of snow fell in Buffalo, New
York, on the 14th Instant. Thermom
eter 73° yesterday in Columbus, Geor
gia.
New York has a man dressmaker
who bids fair to become as distin
guished as Worth. His namo is La
nonette, and they say his dresses are
marvels of lit and taste.
OtJR exchanges inform us that the
Board of Trade of Baltimore have re
fused to take partin the Southern
Pacific Railroad Convention, to be
held on the 23d inst., at St. Louis.
George L. Fox, the actor, better
known as “Humpty-Dumpty,” is in
sane. While acting in the “Freed
man’s Bureau” farce ho received a
blow on the head which caused a
softening of the brain.
Brows sheetings arc now produced
und sold at 8J cents, against 9 cents In
1861 ; print cloths at 4J cents, which
was the old price, and middling cot
ton 14 cents, against 161 cents. All
t his is in favor of Southern cotton
factories.
The Washington Sunday Chronicle
has pronounced itself in favor of the
third term. So also lias Jebadiuh
Broadbrim Burdoltduho, whose .jour
nal declares that Grant will havo
more votes in the next Congress than
“Carter had oats.”
There are ruinous revelations in
St. Louis. The story of the St. Louis
Whiskey Ring is in a nutshell as fol
lows : "#8,500 were stolen eaeli week,
and divided between McKee, Mc-
Donald, Megrim, Joyce, Ford, and all
the gangers and store-keepers.”
Specie, eight millions; circulation,
fire hundred millions! Such, says
the Richmond Dispatch, was the con
dition of the National banks on the
Ist day of October last. A gold basis!
Resumption seems near!
The Richmond Whig says: “The
Democratic party of the Uulon is op
posed toallfthought of a repudiation
of the national debt, and the Conser
vative party of Virginia is opposed to
all thought of a repudiation of Vir
ginia’s debt.”
It. M. T. Hunter, of Virginia, who
was present at the unveiling of Poe’s
monument in Baltimore, on the 17th
inst.. is said to he the only surviving
classmate of the poet; but if we mis
take not, them is another—-Hon.
Robert Mallory, of Lagrange, Ken
tucky.
The New Orleans Picayune says:
“The truth is, that the people will
always add to or subtract from a
measure the moral weight of the men
who propose it. In oilier words,
t hey must have confidence in the law
makers, before they will yield respect
and obedience to the laws made.”
Is addition to pauper farms every
county should havo on these farms
places for crippled or infirm mechan
ics—liko shoemakers, for example—
where they may do all in their pow
er to earn their living. Bartow coun
ty Ims had a pauper farm for several
years, and the paupers earn their
support.
..I ,i <[ i. i.i - ■■■ • a
Personae, —We were glad to meet
Cot. Wm. J. Muglll, of Atlanta, in our
office yesterday. Col. MagUl is Su
perintendent of agencies in tho Cot
ton States Lifo Insurance Company,
and was a very gallant officer during
the war. He was Lieut. Colonel of t he
First Georgia Regulars, commanded
by Col. Charles J. Williams. Ho lost
an arm in the service, and wo hope
ho will find his visit to Columbus
both profitable and pleasant.
That personal riches are not neces
sarily indicative of financiering skill
is fully proven by the history of our
most eminent American statesmen.
No man in America is more frequent
ly quoted as a master of the art of fi
nance than Daniel Webster, yet
Webster had to be assisted by friends.
The Tariff system owes Its origin to
Henry Clay, yet his last years would
lmvo been passed in penury but, for
tho charity of friends.
The Gotten States have made near
ly 8,000,000 bales of cotton, worth at
least #440,000,000 in t lie past two years.
It is sad to think that scarce a pound
of this paid a net profit to the plant
ers or negroes, after deducting the
most economical living expenditures.
The last man who handies Southern
cotton reaps the greatest profit; the
producer receives the least. Get out
of debt and this will no longer be the
case. The way to get out of debt each
individual must decide for himself.
Neither merchants nor farmers need
hope to be prosi>erous until a nearer
approach to a cash system is made.
The atttempts to raise cotton in
California, which at first gave some
promise of success, do not appear to
be attended by any very encouraging
results. Tho area planted, it is now
rumored, is growing less, while a de
terioration is noted in the quantity
of the product itself. The fact is, the
industry there is pursued under many
disadvantages. There is no steady
demand for the raw material in con
sequence of there being no factory to
work it up, and then again tho cost
of production is such as will not ad
mit of its being shipped, as the South
ern product can be obtained at a
much lower price. The farmers are
also inexperienced in cotton culture
and are unable to protect the plant
against the many accidents to which
it is subject
Cl 04.
i The announcement by telegraph
that Don Carlos had writ ten a letter
to King Alphonso of Bt.aln,8 t .aln, offering
to unite his army with that of King
Alphonso, should war be declared
againstSpnln by tho United States,
in order to bring to a close the Cu
ban wur, evinces, if true, cither the
imminence of a conflict or the weak
ness of Don Carlos; In either case
it invests the subject with renewed
interest. Up to 1860 she standing
army of Spain in Culm was 25,000;
j the war between tho Slates relieved
j Spain of the fear of American inter
ference, in behalf of Cuba, and tills
army was reduced to 10,000, On Oc-
I tober 10th, 1808, Carlos Manuel de
Cespedes declared for independence
of Spanish rule. In October, 1808,
Spain had 19,7(8) men or all arms in
Cuba; before the close of the year
20,000 additional troops had been
sent from Europe, over 12,000 recruit
ed on tho Island, and 40,000 volun
teers organized for the defence of
cities. Since 18G8, Spain has sont to
Cuba 80,(88) soldiers, of whom not
more than 12,000 survive. Up to Au
gust, 1872, 13,(88) Cubans had been
killed in battlo, besides 43,500 prison
ers whom tho Spanish minister ad
mitted to have been put to death.
Up to October,lB7l, Spain had expen
ded $70,339,658.70. Without going too
much into details wo give a brief out
line of the character of this wur in
the once “ever faithful isle.” The
brutal rule of General Concha and
his determination to Africanize the
Island in 1854, effectually preven
ted insurrection, but stirred the em
bers of hatred in the hearts of a peo
ple ready to seize tho first moment
of relief offered to them. Tills hu
tred culminated in open revolt In
1867, since which time a
guerilla war has oxisted.
In 1809 Gen. Yalmaseda issued a
proclamation that every male over
fifteen years of age found in the coun
try uway from his home should be
shot; that every house on which a
white flag was not displayed should
be burned; and that all women and
children found alone on their farms
should ho removed either willingly
or by force to either Bayamo or
Juguuni. In December, 1871, Valina
seda issued a proclamation giving
notice that every Insurgent taken af
ter January, 1872, would bo shot, and
all surrendering after Unit dute con
demned to perpetual imprisonment.
A recent estimate places the debt of
Spain at $2,6(8),000,(8)0, which is an in
crease in three years of nearly $1,000,-
(88),(88). The bulk of the new loan is
probably floating debt borrowed
from hand to mouth at Madrid.
Spunlsh six per cents, are quoted at
02 in London.
In January, 1870, the United States,
through Secretary Fish, made propo
sitions to Spain for the cession of the
Island to the Cubans, but without
success. It is thought that President
Grant has always differed with the
Secretary of State concerning the
Cuban policy of the United States,
and that he will precipitate war be
tween Spain and this country osten
sibly in behalf of Cuba, but really to
secure his nomination for the Presi
dency in 1876. His famous Pennsyl
vania letter shows that ho anticipa
ted some undue cause which might
justify his accepting the nomination
for the third term.
Tills Cuban question is most in
structive in another sense : while it
shows that Vulmaseda had prece
dents for iiis incendiary course in
that pursued by Sherman and Sheri
dan during our war, it also shows
that tho United Suite# authorities
were far more civilized in their treat
ment of Southern soldiers. But the
greatest stigma that stains tho es
cutcheon of the United Sates, and al
so that of Spain, is the inhuman
butchery of Captuiu Fry, the heroic
gentleman and gallant Confederate,
who was killed contrary to tho laws
of war and to international law. Hud
lie been a Northern man we may well
boliove his fate would have been
avenged; had lie been an English
subject a British fleet, would have
long since punished his murderers;
as ho hud been a Confederate officer
it was his fate to bo simply a mar
tyr.
The doctrine enunciated by the
Ohio and Pennsylvania Democrats is
opposition to forced resumption in
1879, and to further contract ion of
tho currency at present.—Columbus
(Gao Times.
No; they demanded more irredeem
able currency. It was that broke
their bucks. Don’t crowd notorious
facts out of sight.—Memphis Ava
lanche.
Read the resolutions passed
by the Pennsylvania Democ
racy, friend, and see if thero
is any demaud for “more irredeem
able currency.” We did not allude
to any individual speaker, but 10 the
central principles which governed
the Democracy in the Ohio election.
Meanwhile, we ask who demanded
any irredeemable currency? Who
proposed that wo should not, when
ever the business interests of the
country shall admit of it, return to
specie pay ments? The facts that arc
“notorious" with regard to the Ohio
campaign show that the Democracy
polled u larger vote than it has ever
done before, and we reiterate our
opinion as expressed above, that
forced resumption in 1879, and imme
diate contraction of the currency were
tlio leading issues in the Ohio cam
paign.
Reduction or Wages.— Full River,
Manx., Nov. 16. Owing to a falling
off in prices of print cloths since Sep
tember slh, the manufacturers have
appointed a committee to visit
England, and arranged for the expor
tation of fabrics. A further reduc
tion of ten per cent, on wages Ims
I been voted.
j Negroes to be Brouout is the
Church. - Louisville Kij., Nov. 16.
The Episcopal Board of Missions is
discussing plans to briug the negroes
within the pale of the church. The
hoard seems to think the Catholic
Church is in a fair way to do this.
Bnlhord.
Many of our reuders must have
wondered who Guibord was. His
uuburied body has been waiting iu-
I torment for six years und finally has
j found its last resting place. He has
I cost the newspapers many thousands
of dollurs worth of telegraphing
since he become famous by dying.
An exchange comes to the relief of
the public by tlie following descrip
tion of bis history:
Poor Joseph Guibord’s bones have
at last found peace, and the long con
troversy of six years is over. A print
er in bis life-time, and a man of no
note his body bus caused mure dis
sension in Canada and Englund than
many a talented man, by tho most
constant and vigorous use of bands
and brains. Ims been able to effect.
Although ne died not under the ana
thema of the Church, ids body was
denied sepulture in holy ground, and
Ids friends considered it. incumbent
on them to prosecute the case to the
hitter end. Bo they did ; carried it
through every court of Canada, and
finally to the Queen’s Privy Council,
where an order was obtained for the
burial of the bodv in the Catholic
Cemetery of Mount Royal. The French
Canadians resisted the order as far as
they dared, and without doubt, had
they not been restrained, would have
carried their resistance to a more des
perate degree; but their emotions
were calmed by the sight of the long
files of loaded muskets, by the rumb
ling artillery, and the naked sabres;
their feelings were soot lied by the re
membrance of the curse which the
Bishop of Montreal had pronounced
on the grave, and so they flocked to
gether In thousands, and the funeral
of the Canadian printer was more nu
merously attended than would have
been the obsequies of the Governor
General.
At tills late day in the proceedings
a discussion of the justice of the
church officials’ conduct is useless,
but the question suggests itself: Gui
bord was refused Christian burial be
cause he belonged to the Inetitut Co
nadien. which contained proscribed
books in its library. Cardinal Man
ning, of England, belongs to the
Atheneeum Club, whose library is full
of proscribed tiooks. When the lat
ter dies, will the Queen’s Regiments
the Royal Artillery, and the Mounted
Police be mustered ready for action,
in order to see tiis remains to their
last resting place ?
The famous submarine tunnel of
the English Channel will soon be be
gun. The members of the French
Commission, composed for the most
part of practical men and engineers,
declare that an underground commu
nication between France and Eng
land is only a question of expense,
and their report leads to the belief
that, the project can be carried out
with.less expense than was at first
imagined, and that the danger of
leakage and infiltration will not be
so great ns was originally sup
posed. A shaft will shortly be sunk
on the French side of the Channel,
near Culuis, to a depth of 350 feet, for
the purpose of hauling up the earth
and rock from the excavation.
Concerning the Southern Pacific
Railroad Convention, tho Mobile Reg
ister says: "Tho object of assem
bling Southern delegat es is Soul hern
interest; and each and every Board,
Chamber, or other body which sends
a delegation, should instruct it be
forehand. Such declaration of its
wishes should he made emphatic and
definitive; and we might add the ne
cessity for every delegate to read up
the subject carefully. No one should
go to St. Louis with crude and undi-.
posted ideas upon a subject which
will be opposed by men who have
every data and calculation at the
tongue's tip.”
The Mobile Register, in speaking
of the State debt of Alabama, says:
Now if the Journal will bear in
mind that, tho State owes the coun
ties for educational purposes back
dues to t.lte amount of more than one
million of dollars, and that not u dol-
Inrof interest has been paid upon the
State debt since 1871, a period of near
ly four years, it will find the account
to stand about as follows:
Total debt $23,503,593
Hack dues to public schools 1,000,0(8)
Interest for four years (about). 7,500,000
$34,003,593
It. seems to us, from our way of
looking at it, that the State Cotnmis- j
skitters have not exaggerated the
facts in saying that, tlie State debt,
which the hew Constitution, if adopt
ed to-day, will attempt to provide for,
is not less than $30,000,000. We fear
that by January 1, 1876, the General
Assembly, after minute investigation,
will find that it is not much less than
$35,000,(8)0.
The annual report of the secretary
of the Southern Historical Society,
of which Gen. .Tubal A. Early is
president, shows the following facts:
The society possesses a nearly com
plete set of all tlie reports printed
by the Confederate departments, in
cluding presidents’ messages, re
ports of battles, acts of the Confed
erate Congress and State govern
ments, &o. It lias also a full set of
manuscript reports of Gen. Long
street’s corps ; all of Gen. Ewell's re
ports; the papers of Gen. J E. B.
Stuart : a full set of papers of Gen. i
S. D. Lee’s* corps, and many otliei
valuable reports of Confederate offi
cers. besides a number of Federal
official reports. The collection also
contains ttie report to Congress of
the committee on the conduct of the
war; a manuscript history of Gen.
Longstreet's corps, by Gen. E. P.
Alexander; ft large collection of pam
phlets published during the war; a
collection of maps illustrating the
movements of the armies, presented
by Gen. Humphreys, chief engineer
of the United States army, and many
other interesting historical docu
ments relating to tho war and the
Confederacy.
In his catalogue of Southern out
rages Senator Morton mentions a
ease where a poor, innocent negro—
perhaps an orphan—was hung for
hog stealing if things have come to
such a pass that a colored citizen
can't lay in his pork surreptitiously
without being made to confront the
stern penalties of the law, then the
Republic is indeed lost. -Courier-

It is unfortunate for President
Grant that so many of his chosen
