A. II. Calhoun,
Proprietor.
It is aUted by the foreign papers that
Dr. Manning has submitted to the Pope
l echemo respecting the conduct of the
Roman Catholic Church in England in its
eventual struggle with the Government.
Tbs Memphis Avalanche denies a story
aet afloat the other day that Jefferson
Davis was dangerously ill, and says Mr.
Davis is in his usual health and attending
to his business in that city.
Haw York papers of Monday say that
the nomination of Charles O'Conor for
United Btates Senator is strongly sup
ported by publio sentiment, and that the
reoe will be between him and Mr. Karnsn.
All admit his eminent fitness for the posi
tion, and agree that New York would
honor herself by eleoting him.
Rodim of armed Mexicans are hovering
about Point Isabel, Texaa. It is supposed
that they intend to make a raid upon that
settlement like the raid upon Clarksville
a few years ago. The military authorities
at Fort Brown have sent forces in order
to give secnrity to the inhabitants.
A pabty of Englishmen, headed by Sir
Baiuuel Hayes, left Denver in October
last on a bear hunt, and bad not, up to
the 15th ultimo, been heard from. The
Denvor Newt says their friends begin to
fear for their safety, and adds: “Their
armament was the most foruiidsble ever
taken over the Bauge, comprising more
guus and a larger amount of ammunition
than General Johnston took when be
marched against the Mormons."
Tbs New York Herald 1 a Washington
correspondence suggests that between the
issuing of the synopsis of the President’s
Message and that of the Message itself
the President may have changed his mind
in regard to Cabs. There is some myste
ry involved in the discrepancy of the two
recommendations. It is stated most posi
tively that the synopsis given to the press
end the telegraph agency wav prepared at
the White House. It was upon the an
thority of this synopsis that the lteuter's
Ageney sent to the London Timea the re
port which that paper now denounoee as e
forgery and imposition.
Tub Montgomery papers report e large
gathering of outrage thriekers in that oily
on Wednesday, to meet the Congressional
investigating committee. Coon, Heawell,
Bingham and others wore duly on hand,
with their reports ready. It is to be
hoped that Congrats will now bo told all
about the intimidation of thelladioal con
vention of the 2d District by Busteed's
friends, and how Uapier was Kn-Kluxed
into the signing of that pledge.
The Opelika Observer thiuks that the
Radicals did not make much by the com
mittee’s investigations in its city. It
says: “It was a lucky day for Alabama
when Hay'a committee was appointed.
The investigation ho far has been a com-
plete triumph for the glorious BUte. We
had a moat entertaiuiug interview with
Hen. J. K. Luttroll, of California, the
able Democrat, unfortunately for Hays,
Speaker Blaine appointed ou the commit
tee."
A “Uepimbntativm" Maw.—The ex
amination of Robert Johnson, the col
ored mailing clerk of the Atlanta Foat-
offloe, resulted in the binding of him
over in the sum of $1,500 to answer the
charge of robbing the mails. The evi
dence against him was strong and direot,
John Bard, son of the Tost master, testi
fied the! he ssw Johnson tampering with
the city mail; that he sent three decoy
Utters through the postoffice, aud after
wards found them iu the possession of
Johnson, Ac. Bam Bard, the Postmaster,
in his testimony, (he wan summoned for
the defense,) said that he selected John
son tocauae ho was “desirous of appoint
ing a represenUtive colored man." In
other words, he appointed Johnson bo-
eaua# he was a Radical aud a negro, in
stead of selootiug an honest and ospuble
man without respect to his color or poli-
tioa. It is to be hoped that this affair
wilt induce him to select hereafter a uegro
(if he rnuat have one for the place) who
“represents” the honesty aud capacity of
bis raoe; especially as it appears tbst an
other employeo of his office is strongly
suspected.
Thbkb is in course of prosecution a
claim by the Government upou tho Pacific
Railroads, which may end in the sale of
the roads. It occurred in this way: An
act of Congress requires that tho roads,
after their completion, shall pays tax into
the Treasury amounting to 5 per cent, of
their gross earniugs, also that they shall
make annual reports of their earnings to
the Secretary of the Treasury. They
have never either paid the tax or made
the imports. Secretary Bristow deter-
mineothat the law should no longer be a
dead letter. He called on the companies
for their reports; they failed to make
them; he then proceeded to ascertain
their gross earning* by reference to re
ports of the directors made to the stock
holders, and assessed a tax of $l,83ti,()J5
upon the Central Pacific, $1,040,057 upon
the Union Pacific, and smaller susas upon
their branches. The companies com
plained of this, objecting to the taking of
reports made to the stockholders, which
are made as favorable as possible to influ
ence the price of stock in the market.
They offered to furnish the Secretary with
ether figures aa a basis for his asaesameiu*
bit it Is said that he now refuses to re
ceive special reports made with a view to
a redaction of the tax, and will instruct
HOOD REROLVEN.
To-day the civilised world is wishing
“Happy new yeai” to its friends, and
making the most praise-worthy promises
to itself; and to do the world justice it
mehns its good wishes, and aerioualy in*
tends carrying out its resolutions. Were
these resolves sdhered to there would be
less liquor drank during the coming year
than the past, by many millions of gal
lons, and the world would be happier,
richer and better in proportion. The to
bacco crop,' now considered so abort,
would be all toa great for the limited con
sumption, aud would be literally a drug
in the market. Profanity would ceaae,
aud the empty pews of our churches
would be crowded every Babbsth with
worshippers earnest and devout. Per
sonal feeling, petty bickeriug, aud mean
jealousy would exist only as the mythical
attributes of a dead raoe, and the wrorld
would be ho pleasant a place to live in
that death would be simply a footman
whose delightful doty it was to osber
us from one heaven into another.
Sincere as are the reeolutions,
we can expect no marked change
in the world's moral progress, though we
seriously believe the world continues each
year to grow better.
A journal has an individual character,
aud ita editorial opinion, and the policy
it pursues stamp that character. Iu the
haste eHsential to the speedy presentation
of news, and the often noaatiafactory
nature of information, a newspaper may
do a personal wrong without intention,
and duty ever demands, in anoli case,
correction. But it is not matters of this
kind that give character to a journal. The
course pursued as to publio policy, the
shaping of public opinion snd the en
ergy end integrity manifested iu ita own
oonduct are the things that give standing
to a paper. Looking over tho past year,
with its trials and bother and hard work,
we think, and without vanity, that we
have kept our pledge to our patrons and
have given thorn a paper worthy their
money and support, and one whioh re
flected credit on our city. The promise
made aud the principles laid down in the
tirat artiole wa ever wrote we have firmly
adhered to and unflinchingly oarried out.
A lass decided adherence to principle,
and a more selfish regard for policy
would, we are sure, have added to
our individualpopularity,and consequent
ly to the support of the EMquinxB. We
are as anxious as any man to sucoeed in
our business, aud the gooj opinion of any
aud every man is agreeable. Yet success
that cornea by compromise with what we
deem wrong cannot be lasting, and the
regard that comes from absolute nega
tion would be but a weak thiug to oount
iu the honr of need. One thing, how
ever, we can say that we have pursued
our course from no selfish motive or oh*
stinate impulse, nor have wo ever set
down aught in malice if we kuow our own
hearts. Nine-tenths of the opposition we
have met ooiuoa from people whose dis
like is dirootly or indirectly attributable
to our determined opposition to sanguin
ary crime, and the barbarous habit of go
ing armed in a land of law. We cannot
change our course iu this respect, and
this is one of our resolves. We have met
with success, however, our paper having
doubled itself iu the lost year despite the
hard times. We believe, apart from mak
ing a good paper, we have done much
good to onr oity, to Alabama, and to the
people who dwell by our river. We are
oertaiu that wo can do more should God
■pare us through tho year on which we
enter to-day.
Wo desire to see the Bouth politically
free, and to aid iu aooomplishiug this will
be our objeot; but of equal importance to
us is the building op of out country, and
the development of those resources so
well known to ourselves, but so little
known to the world. This oan only be
done by bringing labor and capital from
abroad, and they will only come when we
show our own labor to be profitable, snd
our owu capital productive. Tho stranger
will not sook us until we oan show him by
our love of law aud respect for life that
he will be protected. We hope to show
that the Bouth is as aafe as any land by
arraying boldly the many good men
agaiust the lawless few. Our support
will be earnestly given to every good
cause, uo matter the party, church or in
dividual that leads it,aud while doing this
no selfish motive of gain, or chill of mor
al oowardice can prevent our denunciation
of crime or wrong. We will espouse the
cause of the pooroit uegro against the
wealthiest white man if oonvinoed the ne
gro is wronged, aud we can aid him, and
iu our||opositious we can have no hate.
During this year the Enquibbb will be
better than ever. We owe it to onr friends
to givo them a good paper, we owe it to
ourselves to wiu, snd to win is a resolve
re-resolved to-day. We can say in con
clusion that we begin the year 1875,
“with oharity for all aud malice towards
none." Thero lives not a man whose mis
fortunes would not pain us, nor a being
we would uot aid if in our power, even at
a sacrifice. Those who know us believe
us, aud they will say wo mean from our
heart the words, “A happy new year"
frieuds and opponents, oue aud all.

IMRItiRATION—TIBRI6HTROVE.
The Master, in his excellent address at
the recent session of tha State Grange of
Alabama, ably examined and discussed
tho question of Immigration. We clip
the following upon the aarno important
subject from the Report of the Executive
Committe of that body :
'Intimately associated with the ques
tion of direct trade, as presented at this
time for the consideration of ihe Bouth-
am mind, is that of immigration. At the
meeting held iu July last, a R'heiue in
this behalf was submitted to your com
mittee. After mature deliberation it was
dee ded to leave the whole matter of
immigration for investigation by this
body—your committee deeming it improp
er, at a time ao close to the annual meet
ing of the Htate Grange, to hamper its in
telligent action by the endorsement or re
jection, on their part, of any scheme upon
ee| importantfand vital a subject. This
matter of immigration, howevor.

The Washington liepuhliean, Holloing
□ewttpapar reports of Intended iaterveu
tion by Geu. Grant iu tbs affairs of Louis
iana, says: "It is osrlain that the Admin
isirsiiou, aeting upon tbs pointed hint
embraced in the decision of Ihe Usputili'
oan Senatorial cancan, tbst Gut. Kellogg
was entitled to issue a certificate of elec
tion to Senator Fiuchhack, will use every
endeavor to noaiain the authority of Gov.
Kellogg in Louisiana."
Tbs reader will bote that, according to
this declaration of the Administration pa
per at Washington, the President is to be
guided iu hie course not by tew or justice
or even by the nation or sentiment of
Congress, but by tbs "decision of a Be-
publican Senatorial caucusAnd it ie
further remarkable that these Repnblioen
Senators themselves, while bolding that
Kellogg was “entitled" to issae a certifi
cate of election to Pinchbsok, will aot ad
mit tbet Fincbbaok was ootitled to the
euxiuus a'teution during lbs past year.
They are well advised of the necessity of
supplying tbe State with reliable labur,
“hr evoke from its soil Us latent wealth."
Tbet this wealth will never be unearthed
by Afrioan bone end muxele seems no*
to be generally conceded A substitute
must be had; and ibis ran only be fnrn-
ished by tbe new fields of the Northwest
end tbe old fields of Europe. Tbe speedy
dis-emination,' tberofore, of full end
trustworthy information with regard to
the condilion, character and resources of
Alabama, with its other advantages, is
imperatively demanded. Indeed, et this
time, Hit the one thing nettled; and when
it is bail, crowds of hardy, thrifty and en-
terpri-iug farmers and meobenies of
tbe Northwest, as well as emi
grants of a similar character, from
Europe, tbe stream of which baa
heretorore been to tbe bleak and ice
bound regions of this oountry Where sue
cess is tbe price of incessant toil—will
seek and find homes in the sunny and fer.
tile valleys ef Alabama. Your oomniittee
would suggest, that you adopt resolutions
st lids meeting, celling upon tbe subordi
nate Granges of each county to meet in
convention, et ,u e.rly day, and prepare
reports, eetting forth tbe condition and
resources of snob county, tbe character of
ita soil, springs, water-courses, tbo na
ture end value of i's products, end its
minerals, tbe price of ita lands, tbe quan
tity in timber, and in cultivation—indeed,
giving ell iufornietion likely to be desired
end eought for by persons looking out for
peroianent homes—whioh reports the Hco-
retsry, or a committee appointed for the
purpose, be instructed to consolidate end
publish in pamphlet form for general dis
tribution.
Tbe snggestions embraced In tbe fore
going extract are sound, and tbe State
Grange of Alabama, with tbet preolical
sagaoity whioh haa marked tbe Grange
movement in every atage of its progress,
we understand, adopted rreolntiune pro
viding for tbe appointment of a commit
tee on immigration to gather the informa
tion here teferred to, end to digest and
publish it in suitable form fur general
distribution. Colonel Hoolt, of Bussell,
was made, by tbe Raster, chairman of
this committee.
Mach good—yee, incalculable good
will result from the undertaking, if fully
oarried oat; and every Southern Buts
Grange should foils* suit. Tbe immi
grant line of travel in the United SUtes
lies been, in tbe mein, from New York to
tbe Northwest. This was opened and
has keeu kept up by flooding Europe,
every steamship and sailing vessel, every
hotel, train, railway alation, Ao., upon
this line, with circulars, pamphlets and
other publications eetting forth the great
aud manifold advantages pqsHOssed by
that scotion of this oountry over every
other part of the world. Immigrants
have been led to believe that in going
there they were bound for a aort of earth
ly Paradise. But as great aa are the ad
vantages offered to aettlers by tbe North
west, they pale before those presented by
the Southern Btatoa.
With a olimate, wbiob for geniality and
bealthfalnees it unsurpassed ; with lands
cheap and fertile, growing not only cot
ton, but ell sorts of grain, and tbe riobeat
and rareet fruits in abundance; with meg.
niAoent water eonrses end splendid
springs ; witb vast reaches of timber and
field, of minerals of tbe finest character
and greatest variety. It is only necessary
that information upon these points should
be communicated to those seeking homes
to turn them Southward, and give ie
these SUtes tbe benefit uf that wealth,
enterprise end industry, which kss here
tofore been exelueively bestowed upon
leu naturally favored regions.
Nawsripaa accounts from Washington
sty that discussion en l delay have un
doubtedly weakeued the Finance bill re
cently passed by the Senate. It would
certainly have passed Ihe Rouse had tbe
vote been takeu before the recess, aud it
utay yet pass, but not by the majority that
could have beeu oliUiued fur it ten days
ago. It is even stated that some Radical
Senators who voted for tbe hill are now
intriguing for its defeat, or for ita amend
rnunt in tbe House in such a way as to
make it unacceptable to ihe Bsnate. Wi
copy from the New York //entitle Wash
ington speoial of tbe 3*th December :
Concerning possible amendments by
tho House of tbe Beuete’s Finanoe bill it
is said here by Eauaton that any change
wbieb would materially alter tho effect uf
the measure would be resisted by the
Senate. Tbe bill wee adopted ea a com
promise by the Benete caucus, satisfying
tbe inflationists by prohibiting contrac
tion, and the ooatraotionists by setting a
definite lima for resumption. It is very
possible that the section decreeing the re
demption of tbe fractional eurreuoy in
silver will be struck out ee impracticable.
Tbe bill is meant as a sop to tbe public
end to get the finance question out of
politics,but it is likely to receive oouatder-
able opposition in tbe House, as several
tuembeis ere known to intend to riddle it
and fo expose tbe fact that it is really an
iufisliou measure. Those who support
the bill olaitu that notbiug better cau be
got from this Congreaa. It may be re
membered that a bill uot unlike this one
failed last session by tbe disagreement of
Ibe House, and tbe seme fate may be ill
store for this bill.

Tbe Engliu press received repotte from
a very largeauraber uf expeditions to ob
serve the lanait of Venus besides those
from wh bod information. Tha
fortune oK% parties was various, but an
tbe whole jrorub’e. Some faets reported
by aatrou^KTR are intensely interesting
to those •, L have studied the progress of
modem j grouomy. For example, Dr.
Janssen, tbo occupied a station in Japan,
telegraphd that Venus waa seen over the
enu's cirona before contact with hia disc.
The axsience of tbis corona aa a tolar at-
uiospl*re or envelope ie one of tha mod
ern dscoveries, end the spectroeoopa has
plays* an important partin determining

t has been seen projeoted against
jorona. The facte end theories
otfM. Janssen will ba awaited with ab-
srejKig interest. The question whether
would be a “black drop”—that ie,
her the dise of Venus wonld appear
elongated towards the edge of the
disc just at tha moment of the in*
r contact—waa mueh disooaaed be-

end proved the fallacy ol several maxims whioh
have for many years obstructed the progress of
msdical solenoe The talse supposition that
“Consumption is incurable” deterred ph-ai-
elatis from attempting to find remedies for that

themselves to death without making an effort
to escape from a doom which they supposed to
be unavoidable. It is now proved, however,
that Consumption can be cured, and that It has
been cured in a very great number ef oases
(some of them apparently desperate onssi by
geheock’s Fulmoulo Syrup alone; end In other

Pills, one or both, eoeordlng to the require
ments of the case.
Dr. Schcnck hlmselr, who enjoyed nnlnter-
rapted good health for mere then forty year*,
was supposed at one time to be et the vory
gates ot death, his physicians having pronoun-
ced his case hopeless, and abandonedhlm to his
fate. He was cured by the aforesaid medicines,
and slnee his recovery, many thousands simi
larly affected hare used Dr. 8ehenok*s prepa
rations with the same remarkable success.
Full dlreoiIons accompany each, making it
not absolutely necessary te personally see Dr.
Schenck unless patients wish their fangs ex
