One pin will pretty certainly be knocked from under the expectations of the Republican party. The Dem ocratic House will not be likely to make a fool of itself. The hopes of Republican success by Conservative folly can be abandoned. There was only ouo section that was honored with this prediction of misbehavior— the South. By every evidence, so far, that section is likely in her Rep resentatives to become the example, instead of the warning, to the others. The South elected Mr. Kerr and de feated Mr. Randall, and that first and greatest event went the wrong way, for those whose reputation as proph ets aud fortunes as politicians arc staked on the unwisdom of the latte (ton federate element in the present Congress. The South, moreover, was the quickest to see the wis dom of Mr. Speaker Kerr’s quiet advice, the first day. to change front, under tire aud in the face of the enemy, on the Louisi ana ease. This, too, was the very easeon which the Southern Democ racy was expected to show the most excitement, the one in which the ex cuse for find the incentive to impoli cy were the greatest, “Safe” Pennsylvania, much of ad vice-giving N4w York, disciplined Ohio, aud part of lowa, Wisconsin and Michigan, all well enough an chored in moderation, wanted Ran dall for Speaker. Virginia, Missouri, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, Arkansas. Florida, Louisiana, Ken tucky and Maryland, dee lured to be surcharged with Bourbonism and re venge. and especially indebted to Mr. Randall for services rendered, supported Mr. Kerr, to a man, as the one calculated to compose, reassure and rally the North to the Democratic party. It is about time for the mix ture’ apprehension and patronage which has been presented to the South to be withdrawn. The North can do well to look at home, and re member that the South has at the outset saved the House from a Speaker that would have offended the nation, find from a policy on the most inilarn.nable case in the coun try, that would have injured the Democratic party in a very great de gree at a very serious ti me. At the present rate the South may be forced to take the leadership which she had no ambition to as sume; but in the first act of the ses sion, on the Louisiana matter, Messrs. Wood and Cox made a blun der which took them off their feet for the time and which Mr. Lamar, skillful as ho is, could not save them from, though he tried hard. In any events, necessary to bring them to the front, the Southern representa tives who \yili go there are not diffi cult now to name. They are Krastus Wells, of Missouri; John H. Regan, of Texas; Mr. Whttthorne, of Ten nessee; Judge Harris, of Virginia; Charles.). Faulkner, of West Vir ginia; R. L. Gibson, of Louisiana, and “Ben” Hill, of Georgia. When these men are heard from, it is pretty certain that no nonsense will be heard. There is no prohibited question of which they have not had a more vivid experi ence than their Northern colleagues. There is no result which needs accep tance which they have not accepted long ago. There is really no ground in sense or facts for apprehending other than progressive, enlightened, alert and magnaimous Democracy from the ,South. She has not trod the wine press alone for nothing. With an aptitude for affairs, with tremendously disenchanting experi ences. with an intelligence in the principles and arts af polities that was never brighter, and with an in domitable heart, that disaster only strengthened and could not break, the South of to-day has all the mo bility, unity, coherence and energy of the South of the days that are no more; she has also none of the dis turbing questions, none of tbe sepa rating ambitions, ami none of the anomalous lets under which the poli ties of former times was waged. The South in this Congress will gladly follow any leadership that is wise, but if none of that sort is furnished by others, her own Representatives will supply it. —Brooklyn Eagle. Alabama ami Her Creditors. New York. Dee. 14. A meeting of the Alabama bondholders is being held this afternoon to protest against the proposition of the State Commis sioners of Alabama for tbe adjust ment and liquidation of the State debt. Hamilton Beydenberg pre sided. A committee was appointed to draw uo a remonstrance for pre sentation to the Alabama Legislature against the propositions of the Com missioners. If we are to have a "Methodist cam paign,” statistics will be in order. The Rev. B. I. Ives was nominated by the Republicans in tbisStates as a “tremendous Methodist,” in the hope of getting a “tremendous Methodist” vote. Mr. Ives ran 1,500 votes be hind Gen. Merritt, 1,700 votes behind Tinsley, 1,000 behind Cornell, 3,000 behind Danforth, 3,350 behind Se ward. and 4,100 behind Spinner. Hasn’t, somebody been slandering the Methodist. Church.—New York Tribune. A Large Deer.—A deer was killed in Black county, North Carolina, last week which weighed 364. pounds; its length was eight feet and its horns measured twenty-eight inches. The horns are to be exhibited at the Phil adelphia centennial. THE DALLY TIMES. 1.01 INI AX A, ; WOTIitU POLITICAL TROUBLE IX SEW ORLEANS. New Orleans, Dec. I*s.—One John j F. Barrett, who bears a peculiar rep ! utation in this city, has lately re | turned here with credentials from Attorney-General rierrepont, and it is alleged with instructions to look | into whiskey and eotton frauds. Su perintendent of Police Levan has is sued an order to the force to arrest him on sight as a blackmailer and a dangerous and suspicious character. Pierrepont has telegraphed here de manding protection for him at the hands of the Federal authorities. Until recently Barrett has sustained intimate social relations with Gov. Kellogg, Col. Newton and Mr. Bil lings. The threatened nomination of Bil lings as District Judge is unfavora bly received. The bar is unanimous ly opposed to him, and not a promi nent Republican hero favors his ap pointment. The American Union Club, com posed of ex-Federnl soldiers here, forwarded a strong recommendation in favor of the appointment of Col. j Charles Casea, former Congressman of Indiana and now practicing attor neyat Washington. • ♦ • the: nciiooi. ami chi urn hihiha. FIRST BLOOD FOR GRANT. Spring field , Mass., Dec. 15.—The State Grange will adopt a resolution in favor of taxing church property and Savings Bank's deposits. [Not bondholder’s paper.] A KNOCK DOWN FORTHEOTIIFU RIDE. Philadelphia. Dec. 15. —The Board of Publication, at its meeting to-day, received a communication from the secretary of an organization styled the “Liberal League,” with resolu tions adopted by the League, peti tioning the Board to prohibit the use of the Bible in public schools. The reading of the communication and resolutions created considerable stir, and after remarks by several mem bers the subject was tabled - the vote being almost unanimous to dispose of it in that way. — - • * WHEELER A WII.MIV AEWIXG il l- CHINK FACTORY 111 TINT.

About j o’clock the walls fell, knocking ; down dozens of spectators, half of whom tvere taken from the ruins dead or seriously hurt. Two hun dred mechanics are thrown out of employment.

Constantinople, Dee. 15.—The Aus trian ambassador asked the Grand Vizier, on Saturday, to suspend hos tilities and open negotiations in the Insurgent districts. Some of the ministers are urging the Sultan to reject the programme of reform ema nating from tho Northern powers, and in justification of such rejections to refer them to the plan of reform which tho Porte itself intends to pro mulgate to-morrow. —™ , ■ . ITIOn THE IIOHIIEII. TRIAL OF OFFICERS AND SOLDIERS. Galveston, Dec. 15. —Information from Brownsville states thoj three colored soldiers were.tried there, yes terday, charged with the murder of a Mexican atSaleci’s Rancho in Jan uary last. The prosecution failed to produce proof, and the jury returned | a verdict of not guilty, without leav j ing their box. Lieut. French of tho army was tried on the charge of burglary, with similar result. Gen. Hatch is in Brownsville, but his trial will not be had until next term. It is stated public opinion has changed, and the military are not blamed in the matter. Freni'li Election*. Paris, Dec. 15.— 1n the Assembly to-day, M. Fourchand, deputy for tbe Gironde and a member of the left, was the only person elected Senator. All other candidates failed to obtain the requisite majority. It is believed several Legitimists and Bona partists abstained from voting to-day, fearing the success of extreme Re- I publicans. Forfjerle* In Cincinnati. j Cincinnati, Dec. 15. Forgeries of the names of firms and individuals doing business at Union Stock Yards are just discovered. Several banks are victimized. The imitation of sig natures is so close that a reference to books was required to detect them. How manyof these checks are out, or to what extent banks and brokers are swindled, is unknown. Pardon. in Tennessee, Nashville, Dee. 15.— Gov. Porter has commuted the death sentence of John Jefferson to imprisonment for life. He also respited W.

COLUMBUS, GA., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1875. CONGRESSIONAL SENATE. Washington, December 15.—Mr. Sargennt introduced a bill to provide for the erection of a postoffice build ing in tho city _ of Snn Francisco. Messrs. Colliding, Dawes, Bout well, Hamilton, Ivernon, Marrill of Maine, petitions asking the appoint ment of a commission on alcoholic liquor traffic. Mr. West submitted a resolution directing the Committee .on Con tingent Expenses to inquire and re port as to tho compensation duo John Rayand Win. L .McMillan,claimants for the vacant seat from Louisiana. All the above were appropriately referred. Mr. Morton submitted sundry reso lutions relative to tho union of the States, which he said he would ask the Senate to take up at an early day. Mr. Morton also submitted a resolu tion setting forth the existence of fraud, outrage and violence and bal lot-box stuffing at tho lato election for members of Congress in Mississip pi, and also setting forth that tho Legislature elected at tho same time and by the same means will have the election of a United States Senator; therefore resolved, that a committee of five Senators be appointed to in quire into the circumstances attend ing such election, with power to visit tile State, send for persons and papers, and to report tho result, of their examination. On tho objec tion of Mr. Bayard, the resolution was laid over. Mr. Stevenson submitted a Resolu tion calling upon the Secretary of the Treasury to transmit copies of all letters, telegrams, orders and in structions in his possession relating to the alleged violations of the In ternal Revenue laws at St. Louis, Milwaukie and Chicago, as may in his opinion be compatible with the public interests. Mr. Sherman objected to the reso lution. He said to comply with it would embarrass tho Secretary very much. Ho said this whiskey Ring was to be prosecuted to tho utmost, so that no guilty man should escape, and he happened to have learned this very morning that it would hin der tho prosecution very much if the Secretary was called in for this in formation. Mr. Conkling held that if the reso lution was proper at all, it should go to the President and leave to him the privilege of determining whether the information could bo furished with out detriment to the public, interest. Mr. Morton believed this publica tion would have tho effect of vindica ting the administration of every charge which had been made against it in this connection. Ho believed that it would completely vindicate the President from all tho charges made against them. For this reason ho had no objection to the resolution. After some little further discussion, Mr. Stevenson withdrew his resolu tion. The Senate then went into execu tive session, and then adjourned. Marine.

Dillon for Genoa; bark Aurora, Spanish Palma, for Demajoria. Sailed: Schooner Cleopatra, for New York; brig San Jose, for Bar celona. A HiKl.nuil swindle. St. Louis, Dec. 13. A. stupendous land swindle has just been unearthed in Southwestern Missouri. It appears that deeds to lands in Northern Ar kansas and Southeastern Missouri have been forged for some years past, and that agencies for this work were established in Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, New York and Man chester, England, the estimated deeds to cover 1,2000,000 acres of land which has been disposed of, the valua tion being twenty-five to thirty million dollars. The land opera ted upon is owned by non-residents, and as the records were mostly de stroyed during the war the ring had facility to carry out the enormous swindle. Deeds have been sold all over the United States and England. The Grand Jury of Shannon coun ty, Mo., have indicted Dr. Thomas K. Harman, David L. Bingham and James L. Lawton for complicity in the fraud. Lawton seems to have been the leader ol' the swindlers, and operated extensively in England. “The fellow who can’t read a man’s character by looking at bis butes is no feller at all,” soliloquized BigJirn. “When you see a man stubbin around with dried mud on his toes you kin set it down that he hasn’t any git up in him. If he lets the mud come away up to his heel, you bet he don’t earn a dollar a dav, for he’s slow. If he’s got dust on his butes he’s reckless, and won’t never lay up anything; but if his butes catch the rays of the morning sun, and splinter ’em all to pieces in a blaze of glory, then he’s bound to have a big house on the avenue, and ahull potato bin full of bonds-shine ’emu-p!” North Carolina Riof, Culture.— The Wilmington Journal shows that in ante-bellum times 200,000 bushels or nine million pounds of rice was produced in the neighborhood of that city. The product now is less than ten thousand bushels. Rice labor is not procurable. The Journal asks if hay crops could not be produced on these lands instead of using import ed hay from New England. If pro tected from overflow, we should sup pose it would be hard to prevent them from producing in the two crop pings at least threo tons to the acre. These lands are _pure alluvium, of in exhaustible fertility. Bismark, in spite of his longparlia j monttiry experience, is still by no ! means a fluent speaker. A Berlin, ■ correspondent of The Full Mall Ga zette thus describes his manner: “Embarrassment and groat, mental sxoitement are visible in his whole being. Either tho words oomo too fast for utterance, or he is at a loss for a phrase to express his meaning; he also frequently corrects himself, probably under the consciousness that a wrong signification may be at tached to his expressions. While the left hand rests listlessly on tho table and tho body is endeavoring to Issumc a certain rigid firmness, the right hand is fidgeting with a pencil or gesticulating to givo particular stress to his words. 11. 11.
