VALUABLE FEEIOUT FROM CHINA TO
FRANCE AND ITALY BY THE WAY OF
AMERICA.
Three freight ears containing SC,-
000,000 worth of silk-worm eggs ar
rived at St. John’s Park depot on
Tuesday. They had come from Hong
Kong to Bau Francisco in twenty
three days, and thence to New York
in less than seven days, the speed be
ing faster than the mails are carried
by the same route. This uncommon
cargo is going to Italy and the South
of France, and could have reached
its destination quicker and at less
cost by way of the Suez Canal, but it
has been found useless to ship them
that way because the Southern cli
mate hatches the eggs.
The silk worms are put upon long
sheets of cardboard in China, and
are left until each board is covered
with eggs, which are about the size
of mustard seed. The eggs stick to
the cards, which, interlaid with
sheets of paper, are packed in wood
en boxes, tightly closed, and wrapped
in canvas and matting. In this ship
merit there were f>47 cases, containing
over 160,000 cards. The cases were
transferred yesterday to the Ham
burg steamer Frisia, which will sail
for Europe to-day. When the eggs
reach their destination they will be
stored in vaults, secure against
warmth, until the mulberry trees on
which they feed have grown their
foliage.—New York .Sun.

Talbotton, Ga., Dec. 19, 1873.
Editors Times:— Early this morn
ing a negro came to town after the
Coroner to go out about eight miles
on the Columbus road to hold an in
quest on the body of one Jerry Gor
don, who was killed on Saturday
night under the following circum
stances :
A colored man by the name of John
Epps sued out a warrant against Jer
ry Gordon for stealing his cattle.
The bailiff was absent and John Epps
tcolj was authorized to arrest tho
negro and bring him before a Jus
tice. Accordingly John Epps, armed
with the warrant, and in company
with several ot his neighbors, both
white and black, went in search of
Gordon. They found him in a negro
house and attempted to make the ar
rest. Gordon tried to escape by
climbing up and out by way of tiie
chimney. He managed to get out on
top of the house, and there resisted
the party as long as he could get
rocks and sticks from the chimney,
which was made of mud, rock and
sticks. His resistance was of such a
nature that the parties attempting to
make the arrest wore forced to fire
on him. which they did, one shot
taking effect in his back. After he
was shot he drew a long dagger, sup
posed to be one taken from some
walking-cane, and started to slide
down the roof, remarking that he
would kill two if no more as soon as
he got to the ground. But in this he
was mistaken, for as soon as he
reached the gronnd he was immedi
ately set upon by the parties who
took him in charge. He lived about
three hours when he died. This is
the same negro who was arrested a
fews days ago by some of the poi.ee
of Columbus with stolen cattle, and
was allowed to go to the country to gel
testimony to prove that the cattle be
longed to him. He came back to the
same neigh boi hood and met the fate
here stated.
The form of the Coroner’s verdict
was that he came to his death from
gUDshot wounds in the hands of par
ties unknown. Mr. J, H. Willis was
foreman of the jury. Old Talbot is
tired of hog thieves and cattle thieves
and will not tolerate them any long
er. This negro bore the name of be.
ing a very bad negro.

Affairs.
Mr. Edmunds said, in reference to
the resolution lie had offered on Fri
day last concerning a Bresidont pro
tem. of the Senate, that after further
consideration of t he subjoet and some
discussion he had concluded that the
matter should not be loft open for
discussion from this time until the
7th of January. He therefore asked
the adoption of the following resolu
tion :
Resolved, That Mr. Thomas W.
Ferry, of the State of Michigan, be
tho President of tlie Senate until
January 7th, 1876, and until a fresh
appointment shall be made.
Saulsbury asked if this resolution
did not involve one of the questions
submitted to the Committee on Privi
leges and Elections. That commit
tee was directed to inquire whether
there is a vacancy in the office of the
President pro tem. This resolution
assumes that there is a vacancy.
Mr. Edmunds thought not. He had
drawn it in such a way as not to as
sume that wo have or have not a
President pro tem, but if by any
legal quibble it should happen that
we have not a President, then this
resolution ends it for the time being,
and until the Senate does decide
finally in the matter.
Mr. Bayard moved to insert the
name of Mr. Thurman in place ot
that of Mr. Ferry. Lost, ayes 21
nays 24. The resolution was adopted.
Mr. Morton said that in voting he
diditin the spirit in which it was
offered and disclaimed the expression
of any opinion on the subject.
Mr. I’erry, who had vacated the
chair during tlie consideration of the
resolution, resumed it and said: Sen
ators—l desire to thank you for your
further courtesy and confidence.
Mr. McDonald gave notice that he
would hereafter submit a substitute
for the States Rights resolution here
tofore offered by his colleague.
Mr. Morton hand them in now
and let them be printed here.
Mr. McDonald—l prefer to hand
them in hereafter.
On motion of Mr. Morrill, of Ver
mont, tho Committee on Commerce
was instructed to report by bill or
otherwise as to the expediency of in
creasing the efficiency of the service
of steamboat inspection. He said il'
what was said in the papers was true,
there was shameful neglect of duty
on the part of inspectors.
The resolution of Mr. Morton to in
vestigate the late election in Missis
sippi came up.
Mr. Eaton hoped that Mr. Morton
would allow it to go over till after the
holidays.
Mr. Morton consented.
The Senate then went into Execu
tive session, and then adjourned till
January Gth, 1876.
