The quantityof explosives In the
Hell Gate charge was estimated by
the suporlntendontfl at 50,000 pounds,
and most of it was vastly more power
ful than gunpowder.
It is stated that the Chinamen em
ployed on the plantations in Chicot
couuty, Ark.,give more satisfaction in
cotton fields than the negroes. There
Is no danger whatever of a scarcity
of labor for the cultivation of
cotton when an improved system of
farming makes Its production profit
able.
Thk following Is a full list of the
Democratic nominations for Congress
in Alabama—all the Districts having
made nominations:
1. .Tames T. Jones, Marengo.
2. H. A. Herbert, Montgomery.
3. J. N. Williams, Barbour,
A. Chtts. M. Shelly, Dallas.

Aud now somo Ingenious cam-,
palgner has started the story that E
I). Morgan, the Republican candi
date for Governor of New York, has
a plantation In Culm on which he
works negro slaves, and tlmt somo
time ago he recruited Ids plantation
foroo by Importing negroes direct
from Africa. Of course there is no
truth in this charge, but then it is as
near the truth as the charge about
Tilden’s income tax; ami is a good
offset for the latter.
- ♦-
Homk editor, who has been keeping
the count, says that so fur 132 mem
bers of the last, Congress have been
re-nominated; that 89 ol them favor
the repeal of the Resumption act, 41
are opposed to repeal, and two are
not committed to eitheir lino of poli
cy. This must include the nomina
tion* of both parl ies. We trust that
very few, if any, Democrats opposed
to tho repeal have been or will bo
nominated.
The successful and harmless explo
sion of the great Hell Gate charge
must be regarded as a signal triumph
of science—not so much, perhaps, in
the fact that, the explosion was harm
less, though much may be said in
praise of the means used to make it
harmless—* fir the scientific rationale
by which Us harmlessness was infal
libly foreknown before the explosion.
The men who had the work In charge
would never have undertaken the ex
plosion on so grand a scale if they
hud not fully satisfied themselves by
scientific Analysis that the prevailing
popular fear was erroneous, In this
consists the chief triumph of tho ex
plosion.
The National Democratic Execu
tive Committee huvo sent us Mr.
Slnnott’s complete and convincing
refutation of tho charge againstGoV.
Tildou that he made a fraudulent re
turn of his income tax under tho old
Internal Revenue law. We do not
copy it, because the people of this
section of tho, Union uro not to be in
fluenced In any way by tho trivial
personal issuos of the eanvuss. Tlioy
look to the great principles and im
portant reforms involved in it, and
care very little how much income
tax either Tildllx or Hayes paid. We
know, however, that in tho collection
of the Illegal cotton tax from plan
ters of the South, tho Federal Reve
nue officers were too vigilant to per
mit nnyjruudß, uud If they had boon
equally watchful about Northern in
comes", neither Tllden nor Hayes
could have committed any frauds in
this matter, or if they lmd, they
would have been found out long be
fore this time.

The drainage basin of the Missis
sippi covers I,2sß.ooosquare miles of
territory in the United States amt
22,000 to 35,000 square miles in Brit
ish America, but the great, central
valley iu which tho river lies, is much
larger. It includes in the South
some areas drained by streams
emptying directly into the Gulf of
Mexico, aud at its northern extremi
ty other and very large ureas, that
drain into Hudson’s Buy, or even in
to the Atlantic ocean. The Missis
sippi basin contains 10,292.000 of our
citizens, exclusive of Indians, and
that part or which Is watered by the
Ohio Ims for forty years contained
the geographical oenUW of our popu
lation. However much it may shift
its position, this center is certain to
remain In one of tho six divisions of
tho Mississippi basin, and another
hundred years will probably pass
without, witnessing its removal from
the Ohio Valley.

—ln UteC&rrollUounty Democratic Con
vention, last week, a resolution declaring
Hon. B. U. Hill the choice of tho. ouUltty
for United States Senator was offered, but
it doas not appear from the official report
that It was acted on.
THK **IOK MAW* OF F.DKoI'F.
Whatever may bo the issue of Tar-j
kuy'ecenilict with her rebellious prln-
it ii pretty evident that
the Turk ims no rights In Europe
which the ,f gr*nt powers” fee 1 at ull
bound to respect. Tho war may end
In the maintenance of nominal Turk
ish rule over these principalities, but.
if so, It will only bo because of the
jealousy pf the powers as to which of
them shall be most strengthened by
the despoilment of the Porte; and
tho Turk will learn even from Its
lessons that he is an outcast from
European sympathy, continuing his
rulo over bis Christian subjects
only because one great power will
not consent that another shall pos
sess them.
The Interference of Russia in the
conflict, without a formal declaration
of war, was wholly unwarranted, and
would not, have been submitted to by
England and Austria but for Russia’s
power. England acknowledges an
obligation to aid in the defence of
Turkey against Russian encroach
ment; but instead of fulfilling that
obligation, she makes tho most of
Turkish atrocities (which have no
doubt been bad enough) as a pretext
fora pressure upon Turkey to con
sent to terms of jieace which her suc
cess iu the prosecution of the war
does not require. The terms of Eng
land’s basis of peace, as given by tel
egraph to-day, ure such ns might well
bo proposed to a nation which wus
getting worsted in her fight with her
rebels, and was in danger of losing
territory, without such concessions.
But they certainly appear strange
when dictated to a power which
seems to be marching steadily to the
conquest of revolted provinces.
But Russia, according to the ac
counts, will not be satisfied with
these terms, humiliating lis they
must beto the Turks. She will con
tinue her covert aid, inoral ami sub
stantial, toScrviu, until Turkey sub
mits to still further concessions.
Perhaps Russia will not stop short of
the absolute independence of Bervia.
She thus bullies all Europe, repeat
ing the aggressions which in 1854
roused .up such a strong alliance
against her, causing a war which
ended In tho humiliation of Russia
instead of Turkey. But tho condi
tions of Europe are vastly changed
now. France and Germany neutral
| ize each other by their preparations
for another apprehended struggle,
which each might take advantage of
the other'* difficulties to precipitate.
England feels her inability to cope
with Russia alone on Turkish soil,
and Austria will not venture into a
great conflict without tho 00-opera
tion of the German Empire. Thus
Russia sees favorable conditions iu
Europe for the prosecution of her
traditional policy, and presses for
ward eagerly for the administration
on some of the “sick man’s” effects,
AN OFFICE FOR A LADY.
We are informed that Mrs. E. S.
Overby intends to be an applicant
for the position of State Librarian,
when tho duty of making anew ap
pointment for that office devolves on
Gov. Chlquitt. Mrs. Overby is the
widow of Judge Overby, aud tho
daughter of Hon. Hugh Haralson
two of Georgia’s late talented and
distinguished sons. She la a lady of
fine accomplishments and superior
mental endowments, and would fill
tho position most intelligently and
gracefully.
Wd hope that Gov. Colquitt will do
au act at once of gallantry and jus
tice by giving the appointment to
this lady. He might thus initiato a
•‘now departure” in politics, the fol
lowing of which throughout the
South would do much to better tho
pecuniary condition of many women
who well deserve such favors of the
State. But perhaps wo cannot ex
actly cull it a now departure, for we
understand that Mrs. Haskell, the
widow of tho gallant Gen. Haskell,
holds a similar position in the State
of Tennessee. The office of Libra
rian is, at all events, one well suited
to both the capacity and the taijfe of
an accomplished woman.
Hard us has been the condition of
a great many of our people since the
destruction of their property and the
derangement of their Industries by
tho war, that of largo numbers of
women has been tho hardest. Thou
sands of them found themselves re
duced from affluence and luxury to
absolute want. In the cloven years
of oonlllet with adverse fortune,
which has followed, they have not
had as good a chance as tho men,
who could always make a livelihood
by hard work. And yet nothing has
been done by the State for their spe
cial benefit. We hope that there will
bo an improvement in this respect by
tho bestowal upon them of the few
public offices which they are legally
qualified and competent to fill, and
we know of no better beginning in
this reform which could be made,
than the appointment of an accom
plished lady—tho widow and dnugh
torofdistinguishod Georgia n s—tothe
position of State Librarian.
Haw-Dim** in Caufobnia— An opinion
prevails in tho East that the hall itime or
fivc-mit piece has hern driven from circula
tion in California. 1 his is a mistake On
the contrary, no silver coin is more in
dehin(l. Il has steadily been sold at a small
premium, while dimes are discounted. The
scarcity of half-dimes is caused by lhe dis
continuance of their coinage, and there is a
general demand for a repeal of the Act oi
Congress of 1873, by which this state ol
things was brought about, in the East they
hake the nickle, which will not pass here,
and on that account the absence ol the half
ditrie is felt to he more of a misfortune here
thn there. There was a lime in the history
of the State when ‘he five-tent* piece was
• despised, but things have greatly changed
since those ‘ flush'' days. Now the family
atil corner grocery find them indispensable,
as well in making purchases as in making
clgmge.— San Francisco Call.

Sept. 23, 1870. |
Editor of Times: Taylor county
was organized in 1852; wus named In
honor of President Taylor, who took
his seat la 1849 at the White House—
the lust President of the gallant old
Whig party—a Virginian by birth, a
Kentuckian by adoption, and a sol
dier by choice. In 1808 he left the
plow handles to receivea commission
in the army. Inthe warof 1812 he dis
tinguished himself in defending
Fort Harrison against the red sava
ges. In 1830 he did his duty against
the Semlnoles. In the Mexican war
he boro a conspicuous part, winning
a reputation enviable and above re
proach. He took the oath as Presi
dent when the question of slavery In
tjie Territory of California was agi
tating tho nation. In his first mes
sage he urged the Californians to
form a State Government. This was
accepted, und tho organization ef
fected December 20,1849, and slavery
prohibited. Discussions ran high,
and bitter controversies were had In
the National Council. On the
9th of May Clay introduced the
Omnibus bill as a peace measure,
ponding tbepassage Taylor fell sick,
and died July 9th,1850. (On the 18th of
September, 1850, tho last cluuse of
the omnibus bill passed, Fillmore
signed the bill and lost his choice
for nomination by the National Whig
Convention.) Two years after Tay
lor’s death his friends did him the
honor to name this county to perpet
uate his memory.
HUTI.EB
is tho county seat, situated imme
diately on the Sothwostorn Railroad.
It is a handsome little village, the
business part somewhat dilapidated.
Tho court-house Is a plain, square,
cosy little building, largo enough for
ait purposes, however. The county
officers are a genial, clever set, hon
est and eupable, fulfilling their var
ious duties according to law. The
high school under Prof. White is In
a flourishing condition. Ho is a man
of integrity and a good educator,
would be an honor to any Institute of
learning as teacher. Tho churches
are neat structures, filled by good
preachers, who preach only ‘‘Christ
and Him crucified.” The people
are a church people; nine-tenths
are members of somo church;
they are good citizens and pleasant
neighbors. The place is named In
honor of one or the gallant sons of
the gallant old State of South Caro
lina, now under tho hoel of tho des
pot. God grant that her sons to-day
may remember Butler’s trust, and
In November roll up a victory for
Hamilton and Reform.
A RELIC.
Col. Wallace, one of Butler ’ good
citizens, lias a bottle that has been
In the Wallace futility over three hun
dred years. How often it has been
filled tho Colonel saith not,
POLITICAL.
A couuty mass meeting of the un
flinching Democrats of Taylor was
held to-day, to nominate a candidate
for Legislature. There were three
candidates, Carson, Ficklln and
Stewart; each one had strong work
ing Blends. The turn-out was large.
At early dawn could be seen the gay
and serious democracy trickling by
every road and path until tho Demo
crats covered tho entire public
squari* They were democrats
bout on business ; their mission
was not one of a light or frivo
lous character. They came as grave
and earnest citizens, moved by sol
emn duty, to select a standard-bearer
who would help reform and putdown
Republicanism, with nil its thiovory;
also to keep down Independents,who
threatened the party. The nomina
tion resulted in the choice of Hon.
Bennett Stewart, who has served
them before. The defeated aspirants
endorsed and ratified the selection.
Carson, the second choice to-day, is a
most excel lout young man—a young
man of pioty und sobriety, of signal
ability, a gentleman in every way,
aud in the highest degree worthy of
public confidence. In order to thor
oughly harmonize the party, he made
a personal sacrifice that entitles him
to the gratitude of Taylor’s Democ
racy, and we doubt not but tlioy will
reward him Iu the near future. Fick
lin, two, Is a good man.
CROPS.
Corn, wheat, rye, oats, cotton and
oane, are above tho average in quan
tity and quality. One man alone in
this county will make lfi.ooo bushels
of corn. I regret to say he is a bach
elor, and is cheating some woman
out of a good husband. Potatoes and
garden truck have suffered for rain.
THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
All the people, black and white,
desire a Convention, in order to give
us a Reform State Constitution. They
feel tho, oppression of tho present
ono. “B.” ’
A farmer residing near Newcastle,
Pa., recently discovered a number of
bojs helping themselves to apples in
his orchard. He immediately un
loosed a large bull-dog and set the
brute after tho boys. The savage an
imal caught one of the youths by the
throat., and in a moment tore out the
boy’s wind-pipe and severed his jugu
lar vein, causing death in a very few
minutes.
Dawson Journal: A colored Repub
lican made his appearance on the
public square last Saturday, looking
like a badly patched scarecrow. He
wanted to die with his principles.
Said he, ”De Democrats is ’shamed
too preach dar doetriu’ from de mil
pit ;de Radicals ain’t; no, bress God!
Politics wat can't be preached in de
church is not worff a damn!”
