The Mayor of New York city bus a salary of 12,000 a year. ■ ■ ■ • '♦ • —— The State Tax Union of South Car olina, has issued a call for a Tax Pay ers' Convention, to meet in Columbia December 23d. Guatemala, Honduras, Costa llicu and Nicaragua are to bo fused into one Republic, as such organizations arc understood down there. Judge Hill, of the United .States District Court, of Mississippi, lias adopted the right rule. Ho refuses to accept jurors unablo to read, write and compute interest. The Rome Courier is authority for the statement that. Gov. Smith will not boa candidate for the nomina tion, but if nominated he will make the race and make it gloriously. The Cincinnati Enquirer, in view of tho approaching abdication of Babcock, says: “Tho President will doubtless amiably give Babcock a chanuter when he lets him go. Ho never forgets such olTloial and friend ly amenities.” Inm asians are said to favor Morton for the Presidency. Oive us Grant for life rather than Morton for one term. There is no man living whom the Southern people regard with greater distrust than Morton. Hois the embodiment of malice and hatred. This Springfield, Mass., Republican lias gathered some statistics In ref erence to wages and prices now and before the civil war. The result shows an advance In nearly all branches of labor except railroad ser vice, the Increase averaging from 40 to 65 per cent. Less interest on the public debt, the cost of administering the Govern ment was, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1874, *178,618,985; for tho year ending Jnne 30, 1875, *171,- 539,847. This comes of still “running” tho Government bureaus on a war basis. Newspaper Changes.— Jacksonville, Florida, is to have anew daily paper next week. The Florida Tri-Weekly Union Is to be changed to a daily. It will be Republican in politics. Cartersville, Georgia, now has two goon weekly papers. Consolidate, gentlemen, don’t reiterate “once ono Is two.” Ti urev in Europe.— The triple al liuuoo of Gormauy, Austria and Rus sia, seems to portend the speedy par tition of Turkey. The sick man will either be pushed out of Europe, or Turkey will recelvo the treatment awarded to Poland, if the present, uncertain condition continues much longer. The people.ownlng property in ad vantageous locations, near the Cen tennial exhibition grounds in Phila delphia, have bettor investments than they would have In agold mine. The following aro some of the prices I mid for business stands In the neigh borhod of the grounds; SIO,OOO for a barber shop, *15,000 for a cigar stand, *s,ooofor a bootblack’s room, $40,000 for a soda water foutain in one of the hotels. The Lynchburg News generally takes an accurate view of important matters. The following sentence concerning the Railroad convention at Bt. Louis, which was so adroitly manipulated by Tom Hoott, expresses thesubjeotas we view it; “Butwheth er they arc conscious of it or not, tho Southern representatives at that con vention were engaged In carrying out the schemes of Thomas A. Soott, and schemes which, though he has delud ed them into believing in the highest degree beneficial to their section, will prove of no advantage to the South in comparison with what she will of necessity lose if they should prove successful. The South is once again to bo made the cat’s-paw to help the Northern monkey to tho pleasant morsel for which his mout h is water ing.” WoutD it not be wise for our people to secure Prof. Dimitry before ho re turns to Now Orleons, his home. Prof Dimitry’s lecture in Atlanta is praised in the highest terms by the press aud people of that city. Pay his expenses, secure the Opera House for him for one night and we believe Columbus will have the rarest intellectual treat that has been of fered her for a long time. People tire of politics, let us have a lecture that will edify, instruct and amuse us. Prof. Dimitry is a native of New Or leans, but .his grandfather was a Greek. The “Harmonies of Creation” as told by Prof. Dimitry, Isa treat wo should not miss. He lectured last night in Montgomery, we believe. Tue Chicago Tribune, having se-. verely criticised the Bt. Louis “sub sidy” Convention, and opposed the scheme of Government aid to the Texas & Pacific railroad, provokes the New Orleans Picayune to retort as follows: It is stntnge that it did not occur to the Tribune that if its argument had any force it would have applied equally as well to the present Pacific railroad monopoly, in the interest of which it labors. Although that road was built at an expense to the oouutry far greater than was neces sary, and although it evades its obli gations to the Government, it has nevertheless proved a very profitable investment to the country. Wm. B. Astor’s property is esti mated at $50,000,000. Anonymous Edit oris I Writers. Journalism is prostituted when it is used to subserve personal ends. An oditor who allows personal preju dices to warp his judgment, weakens his influence. But worse than this is the habit of allowing anonymous contributors to use the editorial space in order to clandestinely tar uish'thc fame of men high in official position and holding a life tenure upon the hearts of their people. Un j fortunate is the editor who assumes the responsibility of these unjustifi able uttooks, that will in the end re coil upon their authors. Well may he say, “save me from my friends.” And the politician, ready to climb the ladder of fame by means of the ruin which he has wrought or has attempted to effect, will be visited with the condemnation that he de serves. Tho writer hired to do his master’s bidding, may well hide his diminished head. True journalism should lie above such practices as those. A journalist who “stoops to conquer,” is unworthy tho notice of the men whom he seeks to injure. Ttt No-Dene* la. The Charleston Courier, Abbeville Medium, Abbeville Press, Columbia Register and Laurensville Herald, ad vocate that stock be fenced in, instead of fenced out, in Houth Carolina. How many papers in Georgia will join us in advocating tho same law ? Of course there are some counties where this law will nor be to the general in terest. I.ot those communities, by a two-thirds vote or majority vote, so decide, but let the general law be against the fencing in of crops. This is much more equitable than the present law, as farmers are slow to act, and it is difficult to get them to meet together in order to discuss such questions. Wl.at a Foreigner Nm tu Condemn. Mr. Trench, an Englishman, who settled in Virginia In 1872, uftor enum erating tho many advantages of that .State, writes as follows to the New York South,concerning the obstacles to successful farming at the South. Theso obstacles arc: 1. The number of our dogs, which render it almost an impossibility to raiso sheep and stock. 2. The improvement of tho roads, which, in their present condition, are unfit to travel, and at timos impass able. 3. The want of local markets. Considering the short time I have been in the county I have done quite as well as I could expect. The in habitants, with few exceptions, have ulways been most kind, courteous, und hospitable. Hoping these few hurried remarks will be of use to your readers, and ’through them, to others, I remain, yours, faithfully, 0. Stewart Trench. If the convicts in Georgia are put to work on tho roads throughout, the Stnto, wo will soon have the best pos sible roads in the ootton States. The macademized roads in Kentucky have attracted immigration to that State, and onhuuced the value of all contig uous lands; besides, tho present sys tem of farming out oonviets, to enrich private individuals, is wrong in prin ciple and unsatisfactory in results. General Mehenek. If there were no other causes for the defeat of General Grant next year, his determination to keep in office notorious criminals ought to disgust the Americau as it has out raged tho English people. Speaking of the hero of the Emma Mine swin dle the De*oit Froe Press says: Tue fact is, putting it as mildly as possible, that Gonoral Schenek was unable to resist the temptation of making himself rich with no outlay on his part. His virtue was not proof against a $50,000 offer, and he wont into a gigantic swindle without any other view of the matter than that lie was going to reap an immense profit, aud reconciling the Immorality of the transaction to his conscience by tho prospect of that profit. His conduct stamps him as an unfit man to represent the United States abroad, and the Administration, if it tias any regard fort lie national honor, will recall him without delay. The people of the United States nave no desire to be represented at the Court of St. James by a man who will con sent to act the part of stool-pigeon for tho sum of *50,000. They want a man who can not be bribed either directly or indirectly. The local effect of the building of the Texas & Pacific Railroad is thus described by the Daily Jimplecute-, of November 39th, published at Jeffer son, Texas: Tho Fort Worth Democrat , of the 37th, says; Messrs. Roche Bros. & Tierney commenced work on the Texas iV Pacific. Railway at this place Monday morning last, with thirty five or forty teams. This looks like business. Mr. Roche informed us ho would have between forty and fifty teams under full headway before the dose of the week, and about oue hundred hands. This looks so much like business tlmt the outside world has already found it out, and people are coming in crowds. Every house in town that is at all tenable is occu pied, and new ones are being built. The following from the San Fran cisco Call illustrates the difference between the climate of California and this country: The Rains.— Since tho first day of November —the usual time to expect the inauguration of the rainy season —there Inis been no lack of showers. In this region they come down at frequent intervals, and completely drench the earth and permeate to the roots of all growing vegetation. They have washed the foliage, laid the dust, delighted the farmers aud started the grass to growiug. which now exhibits the hills and valleys in Ia garb of beautiful verdure. The miners are rejoiced, and the agricul turists have gone to plowing. linker Hi. MrCiitrhran. Dr. Baker’s response to W. W. Payne, and other members of the Legislature, concerning tho Bartow jury, is'an able and truthful docu ment. The doctor says: I know nothing of the dockets of their counties, but, I do know bow those of Bartow are. A county that contains half the litigatiou of Cher okee circuit. I know the business on the dockets isaccumulating. I know there are a great many eases on the dockets, that were brought four and five years ago, tiiat have never been called or sounded. I know men of Bartow county who have their all hung up in court, and have hud for yours, and can not got their eases dis posed of, and urc forced to attend court from year to yeur, at a heavy cost without their eases ever being called. There are much fewer eases brought to our Superior court than before the war. And yet we have three times as much court. I have eases on the docket that have been there for four or five years. I am forced to attend each term of court with my witnesses, and huve an exe cution issued against me at the end of each term for witness fees. And my cases have never yet been called. I know many others in tho same con dition. Litigation in Bartow county is a terrible and discouraging foe to the industrious farmer, anxious to do his duty, but protect his rights. The peo ple of Bartow county owe a great deal to Dr. Baker for his fearless advocacy of their rights. The Grand ■Turymun is a sworn officer, and his rights will be tho better respect ed for this criticism of Judge Mc- Cntcheon. (inlwrnatorlal. “Halifax,” tho correspondent oJ the Augusta Chronicde, writes from At lanta as follows, concerning the can didates for Governor: From present indications I am in clined to believe that if a set of dele gates for each Gubernatorial aspi rant, were voted for in Atlanta, Jas. M. Hmith delegates would be elected in consequence of a division between James, Colquitt and Gartrell, ull of whom are strong here. In a single handed contest, however, between himself and any man, it is probable that John H. James could secure the Fulton county delegation. He is gaining in strength steadily. Every person that knows him believes that he is not. only financially honest but politically honest; that he could he influenced in distributing his patron age alone by the best interests of the State. The following special dispatch ap peared in the Macon Telegraph, of the 2d: Atlanta, Dec. I.— The Herald edi torial, declaring that Governor Smith had authorized the statement that he would not he a candidate for Govern or does not seem to have been based upon any recent, statements or devel opments. The article excites no com ment at tho Capitol or on the streets, and is regarded as sensational by many. B. Tlie Connie of Cotton. From the New York Bulletin, November 30.] The market has developed no very stirring features during the week, the general volume of business prov ing small and tho tone slack. The gain has been almost entirely in fa vor of the buying interest, especially marked on contracts maturing at an early date, without attracting much of an increase of demand. Indeed, wo think, if anything, there has been some loss of faith in cotton, tending, in a measure, to cheek the cull for actual supplies, and to prevent pur chases of futures as an investment; yet, at the rates ruling, the prospect of a shrinkage are not considered sufficiently encouraging to warrant “short” sales to any extent, or to in duce a decided pressure. This is un doubtedly duo in a great measure to tho continued oversold condition of tho market, and the natural timidity of the “bears,” and many of the trade are of opinion that, under other circumstances, tho weight of the receipts at tho ports, and tho slow state of the consumptive busi ness, would prove sufficient, to cause a more serious break. Taken Alto gether, tho “bullish” feeling is not strong at the moment, and while their opponents are fairly confident, they await a more i>ositivo support before operating freely on their convictions. The movement of “spots” has been somewhat irregular, but not very lib eral, and to dispose of supplies deal ers have been compelled to gradual ly modify their views. On homo ac count the demand has merely cover ed the ordinary small parcels re quired by spinners to carry them through some immediate pressing want, and was quite uncertain in character. From buyers on foreign orders the cull was, like last week, confined to special lots and princi pally for shipment to tho Continent. Exporters generally were receiving a full supply on contract; indeed, rather more, it was hinted t han they cared to handle, but deliveries in this waydo not always afford an opportu nity to satisfy the requirements as to certain grades, and lienee the special inquiry us noted. Values have given way about |c. per pound for tho peri od covered by review,and at the close of the week (lid not show any signs of recovery. Holders have been somewhat more liberal in their offer ings, and while at no time was tGo pressure to realize of a deckled char acter, there was throughout rather more cotton available than the wants of tiro market required. Parcels to arrive from the South, too, have been offered with some little freedom and at comparatively liberal terms, hut. were not much wanted. A fair busi ness was done free on board at Southern ports early in the week, but afterward became dull, though full rates were still asked, and the amount offered was not large. For future delivery tho market has been somewhat fitful, but on the whole weak, and values have aver aged lower. Tho heavy tone was most decided on the near-bv months, .and this was due to the disappear ance of all indications of a November corner, with some pressure brought to bear upon December. The issue of short notices was pretty full; in deed, rather in excess of calculations, and though they were stopped aud generally supposed to go where they would ultimately result in shipping so much cotton out of tho market, a surplus still remained, aud the effect was weakening. Among other influ ences were the continued free arrivals at the ports, the absence of vitality at Liverpool, and a not altogether encouraging outlook on the general goods market. Stocks at this point, too, have kept up well, and though it is known that the running count cov ers a considerable amount on ship board not cleared, this is in a meas ure considered as neutralized by the slow sale of spots, with a probability that there is a gradual addition to the amount of cotton remaining in first hands unsold. The operations during the week have been largely confined to manipulations on con tracts already outstanding, and there has probably been tfo increase of either the "bear” or the “bull” in terest. small liiansr. The Springfield, Mass., Republican states that tlie fractional currency has been contracted one-sixth in 13 months, the amount, outstanding, Oc tober 31,1874, being *4B,lsl,o(H),against $40,681,000 on October 30, 1875. Prac tically, the contraction has been con siderably more than this, as probably $10,000,000 of the amount outstanding has disappeared from circulation. Taking this into account, the contrac tion has been somewhere between one-forth and one-flfth. At all events, it begins to be felt locally in the scar - HE TIMES: SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 5, 1875. oity of 50-conts scrip, which consti tutes one-third or the issue, and Northern traders, instead of deposit ing scrip with their dally balances, as was formerly the case, have now frequent occasion to ask it of the banks. The protraction proceeds slowly and is affected by not print ing any new scrip to replace the worn and multilated sent in for re demption, Another six months of contraction at the present rate will produce such a scarcity that there will be use for the silver coin which Mr. Bristow is storing up. Tho substitution of silver change for fractional currency does not nec essarily accompany specie payments any more than the substitution of bullion money for all paper, but is based on other grounds. It is desi rable to keep a certain fund of specie in the iiands of the people, and this can bo best attained by using it for small change. Again, a metallic cur rency, once established, is much cheaper than the paper currency. A ten-cent scrip wears out as quick as a dollar bill and generally much quick er from the more rapid circulation, and costs nearly as much at the hands of the engraver and printer. Over $2. r .<),000,000 fractional currency has been destroyed by the United States Treasury since the beginning of the war, to say nothing of the amounts destroyed in the hands of the people. The annual cost of re placement, therefore, is quite a per cent, on the fractional currency, and much more than the loss ou a silver currency by abrasion. The Republican adds that the pre cise extent to which stiecie shall fur ther be substituted for paper is an open question, not involved in the desirability of a return to specie pay ments. This fteoide will ultimately assert their belief in a paper curren cy, redeemable and daily redeemed in gold. But, probably, we shall nev er, as has been proposed by some, substitute coin for all denominations less than $5. It is the extremity of bullionism, demanding such meas ures as this, against which Prof. Price has made it his mission to battle. The American tradition associates paper with the denomination of sl, and is not likely to conoede any change without strong reasons. Another Great University.— The Presbyterian Synods of Alabnmn, Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas, Nash ville, and Memphis, have united in obtaining a charter for the South western Presbyterian University. The board of commissioners selected Clarksville, Teun., as tin; loeatioip and Stewart College, with its fund and appurtenunees, as the nucleus of future operations. There is now on hand SIOO,OOO of endowment fund sufely invested, which is one-Hfth of the uinount proposed to be raised. In addition to the grounds and build ings, worth $50,000. there are cabinets of minerals, fossils, and scientific books, representing *30,000. The for mer faculty of Stewart College will be continued provisional. l,l*T OF I.KTTEHW Remaining in the Post-Office at Oohunkw, Oa., December 4, 1875, and which if not called for within seven days will be sent to the Dead Letter Office: Allison C W Logan miss E J Barker mrs M M< Milkrow J Bates Joe (col) Miller mrs A Beall mra M Moorhead T Brown mrs E A Nathan 8 Cleveland J L Newnao miss IT Cook miss M Odom mrs 8 E Cobb J J Pearson J (col) Dean Joe Hease Geo Diliuau P Banders J A Edwards miss A 2 Himmons B Hart H C Shorter Dr Hill B P Hlagls mrs 1 Holly D Slagle mrs J C Hoffman mrs 8 Tarver Ben Hoges 8 Watt F A Huff mrs L Walls miss L (col) Jonas mrs C Wh Ittteld H B Keuedey miss F Wiggers K Lauiter miss H Wilborn M J Lowe A B Williford mrs M A UNMAILABLE LETTERS.
