MONTEZUMA AGAIN.
On the second Sabbath w paid another
short visit to our friends in Montezuma, in
company with Rev. S. 11. J. Sistrunk, it be
ing the regular day for him at that place.
We listened with great pleasure to his ser
mon at 11 o’clock. It was exceedingly in
terestirig and well received by an atientive
congregation. Un text was in Ist Timothy
ii : 16: “ Withou tcontroversy ( great is tl e
mastery of g >dliness,” etc. He made a good
sermou, and it was happily delivered. The
text reminded us of a go id brother in our
iirst itinerant years, who took this same text
and made it prove that religious controversy
was necessary to a proper understanding of
all mysteries. “ Without controversy great
is the mystery,” but with controversy it is
all very plain.
In our former notice of a visit to Monte
zuma, we said they deserved one of oar best
preachers. We spoke of the future, as it is
well understood that brother Felder can’t be
beat, if they get him again; but if they don’t
get him again, they ought to hive, and will
be enti'led to, one of the b-st they can get.
The Church at Montezuma is in good con
dition. Brother Felder has done a great
work among the young people, and the re
sult of his labors will tell upon the commu
nity for years to come.
As we were compelled to leave on the
train for home before the regular hour for
night service, brother F. had an afternoon
meeting at 31, and it fell '.o our lotto preach
at that sleepy honr. We saw only one or
two who were -lightly overcome. But we
cannot blame anybody for being drowsy Sab
bath afternoon. We have an experience on
that subject that would preclude us from
blaming anybody else.
CONTENTMENT.
How strange with so many blessings around
us, we should now and then, because of the
absence of some particular comfort, give way
to a spirit of discontent? How prone to un
derrate a thousand good things, and complain
because we are short even one thing which
we want, and even this may not be for our
good. For illustration: A man in good
health, with his wife and children all well,
and possessing every thing necessary for
comfort, imagines that he has not as much
money as he needs to car y out his worldly
plans, and beg'ns to fret and lose his pa
tience, and rob himself of ail the luxury
which his blessings would o'herwise afford.
He will not be content with God’s provi
dence. This is an every day occurrence.
Suppose under such circumstances he were
to sit down and open a ledger account, and
put down on one side all the positive bless
ings he now has ; then put down on the other
side what he has to complain of, and see how
much he will lack on this latter side, to bring
up the balance.
St. Paul never wrote a truer sentiment
than this: “Godliness with contentment is
great gain. For we brought nothing into the
world, and it is certain we can carry nothing
out.” Bet us ponder this thought, and re
membering how soon we must leave this
world, and all that we have here, may it be
gel iu us a spirit of true contentment.

The official count of the vote on the 7th of
November, being not yet completed in Lou
isiana, South Carolina, Florida, and one or
two other States held doubtful, the result is
yet uncertain, though the probabilities are
greatly in favor of Tilden and Hendricks.
Washington, November 10. —Gen. Slier
man to-day received the following dispalch
from the President :
Pitti.AiiKi.i’iii a , November 10. Gen. IF.
T. Sherman , 11 \ishirn/ton. J). C. : Instruct
General Augur in Louisiana, and Genera'
Huger in Florida, to be vigilant with the
force at their command to preserve peace
and good order, and to see that the proper
and legal boards of canvassers are unmolest
ed in the performance of their duties.
Should there be any grounds of suspicion of
fraudulent count on either side, it should be
reported and denounced at once. No man
is worthy the office of President who would
he willii g to hold F if counted in or placed
there by fraud. Either party can afford to
he disappointed in the result, but the coun
try cannot afford to have the result tainted
by the suspicion o! illegal or false returns.
(Signed). U. S. Grant.
Charleston, November 10.—The A etc*’
and Courier has just received official ad
vices from the last of the counties hitherto
reported unofficially, maki g Hampton s
majority for Governor 1.431. lilden’s ma
jority will fall 200 or 300 behind Hampton’s,
but it is certainly over 1 000. The Repub
licans here do not dispute the correctness of
these returns, but say the State canvassers
will throw out several of the couu'ies giving
large 1). mocratic majorities, and that this
will give the Staie to Hayes and Chamber
lain. The Democrats do not seem to heed
this threat, but, are firing salutes aud other
wise celebrating their victory.
Philadelphia, November 10.—The Cen
tennial closed iu accordance with the pro
gramme.
Savannah. November 11.—The following
is the report of the Savannah Cotton Ex
change for 1876: Georgia—Bo replies from
4S counties of the average of October 29th,
say the weather for the past month has been
clear and warm, and exceedingly favorable
for gathering the crop in good condition —
much more favorable than last season, as
shown by the superior grale of cotton.
There has been no killing frost in the State.
About, the first and the middle of the past
month some injury was done to cotton in the
lowlands. In some p rtions of the State
the crop has been gathered. In more favor
able sections the picking season will be fin
ished by the end of the present month. Tire
crop last season throughout a large portion
of the Siate was small, while the yield this
year, if not over •an average, will exceed
last year 15 per cent. The extreme heat and
dry weather in August brought the crop for
ward and fine weather since enabled it to be
gathered faster and in better condition.
Savannah, November 11. —Total inter
meuts to day. six; of which three were from
yellow fever. We had a heavy frost here
this morning.
Washington, November 11. —Gov. Ran
dolph passed through here to-day en route

of Vermont; Gen. Ben. Harrison, of India
na; Senator Logan, of Illinois; Hon. Wm.
D. Kelley and Hon. John Schoonberg, of
Pennsylvania, and Hon. John A. Ka3son,
of lowa. These and a few others have been
invited. Nearly all have been heard from
aud have accepted.
New York, November 11. —The following
gent emen have telegraphed their intention
to start immediately for New Orleans, in
response to a call of the National Democrat
ic Committee:
Hon. Lyman Trumbull, of Illinois, ex-
United States Senator.
Hon. J. M. Palmer, of Illinois, ex Gov
ernor.

Charleston, November 13.—The Demo
crats, to day, filed a protest against the elec
tion in Charleston county. They allege that
the whole county was contro'led by intimi
dation and terrorism, and th it no opportu
nity to vote was given the qualified voters ;
also, that large numbers who desired to do
so were prevented from voting the Demo
cratic ticket; also, that the legal number of
polls were not open.
Washington, November 12 —Returns of
the popular vote show that Tilden has a ma
jority of 270,000. It is claimed that if
Hayes should be elected by one electoral
vote he would be the only President who
went into office as a minority President.
Buchanan and Lincoln had a plurality but
not a majority over the other candidates,
while Tilden has a popular majority of over
a quarter million over H iyes and Cooper.
Coldmuia, S. C., November 12.—The
Board ot State Canvassers will meet to mor
row to count the vote. Senator Gordon ar
rived to-day on a special train and will be
present during the session of the Board.
A number of Northern Senators are expect
ed to arrive to-morrow. The Democrats
are still confident that the State has gone
for Tilden and Hampton. Some Republi
cans admit Hampton’s election, but are con
fident the Republicans have curried the Siate
for the Hayes electoral ticket.
Savannah, November 13.—A very large
fire occurred iu the depot cotton yard of the
Georgia Central Railroad. The fire is still
burning, and the wind is high aud in the di
rection of some ten thousand hales. White
aud colored people are working shoulder to
shoulder to save the cotton.
Tallaiiasskk, Fla., November 13.—The
condition of affairs in this State cannot be
said to nave improved within the last three
days. Both parties s’ill claim the election,
and the way matters now stand there is but
little prospect of an adjustment of differen
ces before the time allowed by law expires
which is thirty-five days, lions. Julian
iiartridge, Phil Cook, W. E. Smith, and
other prominent Georgians are here at the
instance of the Chairman of the National
Democra c Executive Committee, but the
leaders of both parties seem to be at sea.
New Orleans, November 14. —The Demo
cratic Committee have complete returns,
made up from duplicate lists of the supervi
sors, showing Tilden’s majority iu the State
to be 8,107, by which majority they claim
they have carried the State. The returns
show Nienoll’s majority to be nearly 9,000.
Colombia, November 14. —A motion was
made by the Democrats’ counsel before a full
bench of the Supreme Court, praying that
writs of prohibition and mandamus be grant
ed restraining the Board of State Canvassers
from exercising judicial functions in the elec
tion of electors, members of the Legislature,
members of Congress, and Solicitors, and
confining them to ministerial functions only ;
and restraining Dunn, Cardoza and Ilayne,
candidates for Comptroller, Treasurer, and
Secretary of State, aud nominees for re-elec
tion to those offices, from sitting as judges
of their own election. The court issued a
rule requiring the board of canvassers to an
swer on Thursday why writs should not issue.
The Board of Canvassers had decided them
selves that they had no jurisdiction over the
election of Governor and Lieutenant-Gov
ernor, and hence no question was raised re
specting them.
Augusta, Ga., November 15. —The engi
ueers on the Georgia Railroad, belonging to
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
struck for higher wages at one o’clock this
morning. Thirteen freight and two passen
ger trains are now out on the road. The
business of the road and of its branches, is
at a stand, greatly to the inconvenience and
detriment of mercantile men.
Washington, November 15.—Official re
ports to the Department of Agriculiure in
dicate that the session has been extremely
favorable for gathering cotton, except in
portions of North Carolina. Frost has in
jured the top crop in the northern belt, no
tably in Arkansas. The fibre is cleaner than
usual and superior in quality in the southern
belt. Drought iu the Gulf States, rain
storms in the C’aroimas, the boll-worm in
the Southwest, and he caterpillar in certain
locatioi s near the Gulf coast, are the chief
cause of injury to the crop. The harvest will
be completed at a much earlier date than
usual. The crop must be smaller than that
of last year, however favorable and long the
remaining season for gathering. In compar
ison with the last crop the per centages of
he Atlantic coast States are relatively lar
ger by reason of the poor returns of 1875.
and smaller in the Southwest. From com
parison with the remarkable yield in tha 1
region they are as follows: Norh Carolina,
92; South Carolina, 99; Georgia, 110;
Florida, 100 ; Alabama, 77 ; Mississippi, 78;
Louisiana, 83; Texas, 100; Arkansas, 74;
Tenne-see, 100. The average is between 88
aud 89, indicating, without reference to the
remainder of the p'cking season, nearly
nine-tenths of the crop of 1875.
Montgomery, Ala., November 15. —The
Senate elected R. W. Cobb President. The
House elected N. M. Clements Speaker,
both having served two terms in their re
spective houses. Gov. Houston’s message
is devoted principally to State affairs. It re
fers to the great economy instituted in all
the State departments, and calls special at
tention to the lact that the State o digations
which sold at 60 aud 70 cents on the dollar
when he went into office iu 1874, now com
mand 92 to 93. This he attributes to the
confidence the people have in a government
of their own choice. The penitentiary, which
cost the Sta'e a large sum of money under
the previous administration, is now a source
of considerable revenue to the State. Im
migration is, too, tending thitherward, a fact
on which he congratula tea the State. The
public schools are prosperous and increas-

ing in usefulness. On Federal politics he
says : “ Allow me to congratulate you and
the entire country upon the signal and bril
liant success of the patriotic people of the
United States in their great struggle against
fraud and corruption, as practiced by the
party iu cont ol of the Federal Govern
ment, in the election by the unprecedentedly
large and popular majority of Tilden and
Hendricks for President aud Vice-President
of the United States. They have achieved a
victory unequalled by any known to civilized
governments—a victory achieved through
the quiet and peaceful instrumentality of the
ballot, the mode provided by our fathers for
the protection and maintenance of the Gov
ernment in its strength and purity. No blood,
no violence, no force —they have covered
themselves with never-fading and imperisha
ble honor, and have made a name of which
their children to the latest generation may
be justly proud.”

Calcutta, November 9. —The district cf
Backer Gunge was ravaged by a cyclone on
Tuesday last. One thousand native houses
were destroyed. The town of Diwluktan was
submerged and is a waste. Five thousand
persons, it is believed, have perished.
London, November 11.—A dispatch to the
Reuter Telegram Company from St. Peters
burg says le Gaulois publishes a speech de
livered by the Czar in Moscow yesterday, in
reply to an address of the citizens. The
Czar said during his entire reign his energies
have been directed to maintain right and
justice for the Eastern Christians. Unfor
tunately his pacific efforts have been in vain.
A conference of the powers is now about to
meet at Constantinople. Russia would main
tain her demands. Non acquiescence would
compel Russia to take up arms. In that
event he relied on the support of his sub
jects. The speech was received with enthu
siastic cheers.
London, November 13.—Accounts from
various points on the coast report numerous
shipping casualties during Saturday aud Sun
day nights, when a gale prevailed.
London, November 14. —A Reuter tele
gram from St. Petersburg says that the Czar
has ordered the mobiliz ition of a part of th 1
Russian army. A circular of Prince Gorte
chakoff. the Russian Premier, to Russia’s
representatives, explaining this measure,
says: “The Czar does uot wish war, and
will, if possible, avoid it. He is, however,
determined that the principles of justice
which have been recognized as necessary by
the whole of Europe sha'l be carried out in
Turkey under efficacious guarantees.”
Belgrade, November 14. —The Russian
Consul General here has informed Gen.
Tchernayeff'that the Czar forbids his return
to Russia. Gen. Tchernayeff wiil go on leave
of absence to Vienna to-morrow.
London, November 14. —The Times to
day has a strong pro-Russian leading edito
rial article cn the Eastern question. It first
notices the slow progress toward an agree
ment about a conference, which is clearly
not promising for business, but declares that
the worst symptom is a disposition to pre
scribe beforehand conditions incompatible
with the ideas of negotiations and compro
mise. Without saying that under no circum
stances could a shot be fired from an English
cannon, this much may be unhesitatingly de
clared, that if Russia took up the war from
Servian’s falling hands, English opinion
would no more justify armed opposition to
Russia than it did justify armed opposition
to Servia, and the diplomacy of Russia would
show itself altogether deficient in the sagaci'y
attributed to it if it did not so describe the.
objects of the war and restrict its operations
as to prevent the occurrence of any suffi
cient reason for our interfering.
London, November 15. —The Standard's
Constantinople special says: “Turkey is pre
paring vigorously for war. Torpedoes are
being placed at the eastern end of the Bos
phorus, and the forts have beeu strengthen
ed.”
London, November 17. —The Pail Mall
Gazette this afternoon states that up to this
evening the Porte’s objections to the confer
ence had not been removed. The samejour
nal in a leading editorial says that it believes
Russia intends war. She is prepared to in
sist upon claims which she believes the Porte
will reiuse. and is getting ready to impose
them by force. I'he situation, it is feared, is
but little different from what it would he if
for the word “armistice,” the words “Russia
demands reform” were subatituted, and the
Ignatieff uilimuatum thus modified were lying
before the Porte.

TEACHERS, READ THIS!
The Sunday School Times, of which H. Clay Trumbull and George
A. Peltz are editors, and John Wanamaker is publisher, will, in 1877,
contain each week full critical notes on the lessons of the International
series; for those of the Old Testament, by Prof. TAYLER LEWIS, who
stands foremost among the Christian Hebrew scholars of America; for
those of the New Testament, by Prof. A. C. KENDRICK, equally
prominent as a Greek scholar. Also a popular exposition of the lessons,
week by week, by the Rev. NEWMAN HALL, of London, a clergyman
not to be excelled in the world as a popular Bible expositor, and who now
for the first time gives to the American public the benefit of his rare
powers as a Bible teacher. Also a practical application of the lesson
teachings to every day life by H. CLAY TRUMBULL, editor of The Times.
This plan secures fuller and better lesson helps than can be obtained
elsewhere. The Times is sent on trial, to new subscribers every
week for three months, for twenty-five cents. Price for one year, 22.15.
To Pastors and Superintendents, $1.65. Special rates to clubs.
For seven cents there will be sent a specimen copy of The Scholars’
Quarterly, the best Sunday-school lesson help for scholars published.
Specimens of the Weekly Lesson Leaf sent free. The most complete
leaf of any, although it is sold at so low a price. Address,
