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. r>. K. F. Ligon, Macon. , (i. W. Hewitt, Jefferson. 7. W. H. Forney,Calhoun. 8. W. W. Garth, Madison. 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. Mtssliwliipl lliihlii 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. —” : •"♦ T’T —~—~~~ —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. , A special dispatch from Darien, Ueor ! gUi, informs the Savannah .Yews that | Henry Williams, a colored man, was killed j on Doboy Friday, by Ellis Robinson, ool : oiied.

Ga., I 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!” —Hon. B. H.
