Wouldn’t go Back on Him!— When Congressmen Candler was at home he related the following capital anec dote on gallant Phil Cook,who repre sents the third Georgia district: On a recent dav a small appropria tion for the Washington monument was up before the House, and when his name was called Cook voted lusti ly for the bill. Congressman Buffington, a staid old puritan member from Massachu setts, crossed over to Cook and shook his hand, remarking: “General Cook, I thank you for your vote. When one from the South who occupied so distinguished a place there as yourself joins in this patriotic spirit, it is peculiarly re freshing.” Phil bowed blandly, but a merry twinkle in his eye caused the crowd surrounding him to listen for this re ply. which came out enthusiastically: “Not at all, sir, not at all, for Mr. Buffington, by ——, sir, I never go back on a rebel and a slave-holder!” A peal of laughter followed the sally and Speaker Kerr had to threat en the group with the offices of the sergeant-at-arms.— Atlanta Const. THE TIMES. COLUMBUS, GA., SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1876. si. Y. IIF.ItAI.II ON TIIK IMIKNIDKNUY. GRANT TO DICTATE THE NOMINATION OF CONKLINO. New Yonk, April 7.—The Herald editorially discusses the Presidential question at great length, this morn ing, on the basis of the President’s acknowledged preference, according to the Herald’s Washington dispatch, in favor of Conkling ns the Republi can candidate. Tho Herald attrib utes tha President’s selection of Conkling to the fact that the Electo ral vote of New York will decide tho Presidential contest. New York is a Democratic State to be recovered, and only a candidate who is excep tionably strong with New York Re publicans has tho slightest chance of taking the State away from the Dem ocrats. Jt would be an act of politi cal suicide for the Republican party to nominate any candidate who has no reasonable prospects of carrying this State. The influence of Presi dent Grant is worth at least two hun dred delegates in favor of the candi date he supports. He controls all or most of the Southern delegates through confidence in him by the ne gro population, and virtually dictates the nominat ion of a candidate who is backed by New York and Pennsyl vania. The Herald thinks Conkling will go to Cincinnati with 128 delegates from New York and Pennsylvania, and about 275 delegates from South ern States. With this formidable display of strength on the first bal lot, the chances are greatly in favor of Conkling’s success. TURKEY AND HER ItI.IIF.LM. RUSSIA JOINS IN DEMANDING THE SUli- MIBSION OF THE INSURGENTS—PEACE SEEMS HOPELESS. Vienna, April 7.—Prince Gortsch akoff, the Russian premier, has sent the insurgents an intimation that no aid will be furnished them by Russia unlessthey submit. The Conference at Rodich has been resumed and ended. The insurgents demand tho with drawal of Turkish troops. Peace seems hopeless. The Servian government lias re fused to answer an inquiry by Tur key regarding armaments of Servian troops. Great manoeuvers by the Servian army are in progress, and are believed to be intended to act as a cloak. A general movement of troops begin on April 12th. — ■ ♦ - THE CAPTURE OF MATA HURON. MORE DEFINITE PARTICULARS. Hpecit' to the Galveston News.] Brownsville, April 2, 1876. -The particulars of to-day’s doings are be ing ascertained more definitely. Gen. Labarra was with Gen. Toledo recon noiteriug forces. Toledo fell back tc the Casa Mata, but had been sep arated from Labarra. About half past seven o’clock a fight, occurred between the Ninth Regular Cavalry and the regiments of Lapareuo aud Aguirre; this was outside town. The cavalry surrendered. Two pieces of artillery were taken at the Monterey fort by the Revolutionists and car ried bv hand to the lower part of tho city. The former gunners served them, and when they opened on the Casa Mata tho Twenty-sec ond Regular Infantry abandoned Fort San Fernando and entered tho Casa Mata. The fight at Casa Mata was brisk for half an hour. The Revolutionists attempted to take the works by storm, and were re pulsed. Just as they were ready for another attempt a white (lag was raised, aud Col. Cristo offered his sword to Gen. Diaz. The latter complimented him for his brave defense, and told him to wear his sword. The number sur rendered by Cristo is variously esti mated at from 119 to 362 men. Col. Parratt was thrown from his horse in an affair outside of town and is a prisoner. An officer of Gen. Diaz gives the following list of captures: 5.30 men, 17 pieces of artillery and 712 stand of small arms, besides those in the hands of the prisoners. The surgeon reports three killed and twelve wounded; officers report five killed and sixteen wounded. Generals Trevino and Naranjo have Col. Ordonez surrounded. Day be fore yesterday near Punta Aguda, Trevino sent a courier to Gen. Diaz, and says he will defeat Ordonez. Trevino is expected in Matamoros within three days. Ordonez is the officer who defeated Naranjo a few days ago. Gen. Diaz was preparing a note to day to Gen. Potter, requesting or de manding the removal of the gunboat from before Matamoros. Her pres ence is said to be disagreeable to him. He has expressed a determination to remain at Matamoras until his troops enter the City of Mexico. An entire change is progressing. The Diez men are crowding into Matamoros, and the Lerdo men are coming to this bank. after the battle. Brownsville, April 3, 1876.— Gen. Toledo has taken service with Gen. Diaz. That decides the question mooted vesterday as to having be trayed (Jen. Labarra. The wounded number about twenty-four; losses on the Government side not known. Gen. Labarra has been joined by his family, and occupies the house re cently occupied by Gen. Diaz in Brownsville. Col. Cristo and a great many other officers are in this place. Gen. Fuero is on the march from Monterey to Matamoros; Gen. Labarra expects him in five or six dav3. Gen. Diaz has issued a proclama tion requestingthe citizens to remain at home and attend to their business. He promises them security and the enjoyment of the rights guaranteed by the constitution of 1857. Gen. La harra anticipates leaving the frontier. Gen. Diaz has not forwarded a com munication to Gen. Potter; he was writing one yesterday. It is proba ble that he has concluded that tying up the Rio Bravo on the Mexican side is not a violation of neutrality. Arms and ammunition were received here to day, some consigned to parties on this side, some to Gen. Labarra and some to the commanding officer at Matamoros. Gen. Diaz is reported to have received forty thousand dol lars by the last Morgan steamer. WAMIIN(iTi)N NIiWS. MIME OF THE 11l “CROOKED” IN NEW lllllli TO HE INDICTED. llrlknuii Clilltlllrnt anil Ill'll:ilit ! WasHiNGTON, April 7.—Government officials here express the belief that several New York liquor dealers will yet bo found guilty of illicit prac tices in connection with operations to defraud the revenue. The books of several firms dealing in liquors and high wines, acting us commission merchants, were recently seized and examined, and District Attorney Bliss is endeavoring to have tho sus pected dealers indicted. Winessos from Chicago have been summoned, among them Joseph Roelle, U. S. Golsen and (). Holland, aud will tes tify before the Grand Jury to-day. It is expected this testimony will lead to tiie indictment of the suspect ed ones. A Tribune Washington special says the Sergeant-at-arms of the Senate, Mr. French, last evening served on Belknap the process issued by order of the Senate’s Court of Impeach ment. Belknap appeared cheerful, and said he would respond at any time indicated. He conversed freely on tho subject ot tho accusation against him, and remarked that now he was on the defensive he was the target for all manner of attack, but he had no fears of his ultimate vin dication. So far only one side of this matter had been given, but soon the other side would bo heard. He intimated the probability of his ap pearance in person before the Senate. - - - - Fires at Fart Valley. Special to tho Times by S. & A. Lino,] Fort Valley, Ga., April 7.—The handsome residence of Mr. Jake Slappey, near Fort Valley, was en tirely consumed by tire last night. Mr. Slappey was not aware his houso was burning until awakened by the screams of his children, whose bed at the time was on fire. Everything, even to his wearing apparel, was lost, aud worse than all, lie had no insur ance. Loss about SB,OOO. Mr. Slappey is one of the wealthiest men in this county, and is better able to stand such a loss than almost any one else. No eauso is assigned for the misfortune. There is now another house on fire a short distance from town, but it is impossible to tell whose it is. B. A Fearful Exiilooiim. Salt Lake City, April 7.—Frag ments of human bodies found show horrible effects of a magazine explo sion which occurred here yesterday. One woman was cut in two while standing at a pump. A child’s head was blown off. Two boots and one shoe were found with fragments of legs adhering. Many women are in a critical condition from terror. Boulders were thrown two miles. The damage to property is over SIOO,OOO. The cause of the explosion is sup posed to have been the firing of bul lets by boys through an iron door. Packages of powder of all kinds ex plode!. There were 45 tons of pow der, exclusive of giant powder and Hercules powder. Klioilc Inland Election. Providence, April 6.— The total vote for Governor yesterday was 18,- 531, against 22,264 last year- a falling off of 3,733. Returns from all the towns in the State, except two, give the following figures : For Governor —Lippitt, Republican, 8,369; How ard, Prohibitionist, 6,557; Beach, Democrat, 3,507. The election of Governor and Lieutenant Governor is thus thrown upon the General As sembly, as was the case last year. The exact complexion of the General Assembly cannot be told. This year Lippitt’s plurality over Mr. Howard is 1.812, but he lacks 1,894 votes of a majority. Despondency. Much has been written and said upon this subject, but what we call “low spirits” is very frequently the result of bodily weakness or disease. People with few exceptions, love to be cheer ul, and do not have to hear sermons and lectures upon the subject to appreciate cheerfulness. But these frail bodies are easily put out of tune, and despondency is very apt to accompany the small ills that seem but light, and for which we find but little sympathy. When Elijah sat down under the juniper tree in great despondency, so great that he longed to die, the angel of the Lord did not say, “Hoity! toity! man, you give up too easily; despondency is a dreadful thing; never give way to it.” No, the Lord is too wise a physician for that. Ho knew that the prophet wassulTcring from bodily weakness and weari ness. The good man was allowed to rest, first of alt; mark that. Sleep and rest are often all that is needed to cure low spirits. Then a miracu lous meal was prepared, and the angel touehed the sleeper and said, “Arise, and eat, for the journey is too great for thee.” How sympathizing and tender were these words! Elijah did according to this bidding, and we have no more complaints of that kind from him. Now, just here is the secret in numbers of cases where despondency holds sway—“the jour ney is too great for thee.” The toils anu cares press so heavily that the mortal frame is out of order, and de spondency is the result. iWell, then, it follows that the way to be cheerful is to do all in our power to be well in body. Avoid over-fatigue, taking too much thought for the morrow, grumbling and brooding, and anything that is hurtful to the physical nature. The greatest cheer fulness is induced by a firm trust in the Lord. And when the journey is necessarily too great for thee, the angel will come and give the meat that shall strengthen for many days. —A. D. Walker in the Methodist. THE HUSH OF WATERS. Only Eleven Inelie* Melon ilie lllkli ext. Floml on Keeord. DAMAGE TO PLANTATION INTERESTS BE LOW. From the Memphis Avalaucho, sth.] The water level in the river at the foot of Jefferson street, lust night,was within U inches of the highest on record, aud 1 inch below the high water of May, 1874, at which time the Council Bend cutoff was made, 5n miles below this city. At the present writing the prospects are that the rise here will continue for two weeks or more to come, and that it will reach a level equal to that of 1867 and also of 1862. The rise at this point has doubtless been increased by the recent cutoff at the Devil’s Elbow, which precipitated a heavy volume of water upon tiie swollen torrent be low and increased tho velocity of the current. No relief from tho flood can be hoped for from present uppeurances for some time to come. All the lower tributaries of the Ohio are full to overflowing; the Wabash, Cum berland and Tennessee especially so, while the Illinois has so flooded its banks that at the town of Havana it is 6 miles wide and 14 feet above high water mark. All other upper rivers display mammoth propor tions. while the tributaries of the South are full. White river has run out of its banks; Arkansas river is high, though so far has done no harm as far as known, and the people along tiie streams of the lower river, especially at New Orleans aud above, are strengthening their levees in an ticipation of the freshet pouring down upon them. A heavy rain f ell at St. Louis on Sundayand the river was rising at the rate of half an ineli per hour. Heavy rains also fell at EvunsVtile and Cai ro. From river men who came up by steamers yesterday the news reached us that cattle and other domestic brutes were seen standing in many places in the water knee deep, with no dry land visible and no apparent effort making on the part of their owners to find a dry place for them. At several places the water had risen into the very houses, and was a foot or more deep oil the lower floors, while people still tenanted theiruqua tio quarters. Under such circum stances it seems strange that rafts have not been made on which to place cattle, horses and other ani mals to be thus saved from destruc tion. It was reported yesterday that the Little Rock Railroad is covered in several places, and especially between Edmondson’s station and Blackfish bayou. ■ ———— I'aiU’iiMiiiK lor ItrlMtow. Cincinnati, April 7.—Mr. Halstead, of the Commercial, left for New York last evening. It is rumored he has an engagement to meetSam’lßowies at the Brevortt House, to perfect plans for pushing the Bristow move ment.
