ERs AND SHIPPERS s-The telegraphic news
from Calcutta represents great want of food
in Bengal. One-half the supply in the prov
ince had been exhausted, and it is believed
a famine cannot be averted. The Bengalese
live, it is true mostly upon rice or other cheap
food, and have little means with which to
purchase high priced food 1; still, from our
abundance Of -four, corn and corn meal, we
might find market in India for q portion Of
these products. Outgoing vessels in the
China and India trade might carry such freight
cheaply. We throw out the hint to our mer-
chants for their consideration.

service for the ensuing term of ffseen months
took place before the Postmaster General at
Washington ON Saturday last. The rival lines
were heard by counsel and petitions in favor
Of the several companies were read 1t APP
pearing that prominent parties had signed for
the same service for different companies, the
Postmaster General only aqook the paperss

therefore, not be made for the present in

hoped that the Postmaster General will select
for the transmission of our European mails
only those lines whose vessels come fully up

The virginius-Connicti Reports.

We have the news from Washington (Asso-
ciated Press) that upon evidence furnished by
the Spanish government, submitted by the
President to the Attorney General for his opin-
ion, Mr. Williams has given the opinion that
the steamer Virginius, at the time of her cap
ture, had forfeited the right to carry the flag
of the United States that accordingly our
government will institute an inquiry and enter
into proceedings against the Virginius and
against the parties deemed to be guilty of
illegal acts in reference to the nation
ality Of the ship It appears further
that as, in the opinion of the Attorney
General, the virginius at the time of her cap
ture had no right to carry the United States
flag, the special salute provided to be given
it on the 25th inst by Spain will be dispensed
with; but our government will expect q dis
claimer from Madrid of any intentional in
dignity to our flag in the Spanish outrages
connected with the Virginius. It further
appears that from the evidence submitted by
Spain the clearance papers Of the virginius
were obtained by perjury.
Per contra, we have q special HERALD de-
spatch from Washington, from which it ap-
pears that the right Of the virginius to carry
the flag Of the United States is fully estab-
lished, and that such is the Judgment of the
administration. Our special correspondent,
too, submits the evidence required to support
his case, and presents it with an array
Of facts and specifications which seem
to be conclusive. However, as there is no
knowing what may be the conclusions of Mr..
Fish from one hour to another, we submit
these conflicting reports without further re-
mark, until we learn whether he or the Attor-
ney General has decided the question of the
nationality Of the virginius.

NUTRITION; How POSSIBLE. = The
blood is simply this;-A solution of food.
Now it is the function of the blood to build
up afresh continually every portion of the
frame But, for this building-up process,
it is not enough that blood be present, sim
ply. There must also, so to speak, be a
willingness and readiness, on the part Of
muscle or brain, or whatever else it may
be, to take up from the blood the peculiar
nourishment it may stand in need Of.
Zone man, as the saying goes, may lead
the horse to water, but twenty cannot
make him drink" we must make the
the horse willing; we must coax him. So
also we must coax the worn-out muscle,
the worn-out brain, to drink-drink of the
life giving bleod-stream that washes, as ii
were. its very lips. There is nothing that
coaxes the unwilling horse, in this case,

WITH what admirable effrontery
self-conceited and unprincipled Radi-
cal leaders ascribe all the ills of the
South to the former existence of sla-
very. They never heard of the pros
perity of the South under the institu-
ton of slavery and they never heard of
a war of invasion, characterized by ev-
cry species of barbarity-its soldiery
licensed to burn and destroy all it was
not profitable to send North. They
know nothing of carpet-bag rule, and
the millions of dollars stolen from the
South, under the protection of Radi-
cal bayonets. Oh, no! These wrongs
have nothing to do with the poverty of
the South. Slavery, and slavery alone,
is responsible. Do the knaves believe
that such a miserable lie will deceive
any intelligent and honest man, and
shield the Radical North against mer-
tied ceDsure for conduct unparalleled
in atrocity, since the dawn of christian
civilization? No. They believe moth
ing Of the sort, nor are they ignorant
of the base motives which prompt them
to lie in the interest of the party to
which they owe servile allegiance.

A Boston paper says that Wash
ington and Jefferson would have been
elected to third term, had they con-
sented. Perhaps so; but they were
intent upon establishing a wise prece-
dent, in the absence of a constitution
al restriction of the term of service,
and were too patriotic to crafty any
personal preference at the probable
cost of free institutions. With Grant,
the case is altered. Possessing none
of their exalted qualities and qualifca-
tons, and feeling none of their noble
impulses, he is willing to fill the place
as long as his future years are divisi-
bic by four; just as he takes brides,
pleading in justification the wishes of
friends to repay his great sacrifices for
his country's good. tits a gross insult
to the intelligence and patriotism of
the country to couple the name of
Grant with those of the illustrious
founders of the government, and
doubly offensive when the association
is designed to cover an infamous
scheme of usurpation, despotism and
robbery.

A White Mans Party i'm Alabama.

The Democratic and Conservative
press throughout the State of Alabama
is rapidly advancing to place itself in
order of battle upon this line. The
Eufaula Times says:
Having exhausted every other
milder means of self defence, having
employed persuasive words and flung
harmless grass, the white man finds it
necessary now to aim some more sub
stantial missiles that will prove his
earnestness in the determination to
make the rude negro hasten down to
the level where he belongs, and cease
gobbling up the fruits Of civilization,
which he neither helps to strengthen
nor advance. Of such effective mis-
siles, when he shall choose to use
them, the white man has his full sup
ply, and plenty of hands there be to
throw them"

WE clip the following dispatch from
a Washington date of the 31st ult.:
TAXPAYERS ORGANIZING.

TAA-PA1 EhS ORGANlZtNG.
The taxpayers of the city are form
ing an organization for the purpose of
resisting all general and special taxes
levied by the profigate ring, who have
plunged the city into bankruptcy.
The taxpayers are about to obtain the
opinion of eminent counsel upon the
subject. Forney's Chronicle has an
article to-day going to show that the
special assessments of the board are
in defiance of the organic and other
laws regulating the district, and that
the certificates of indebtedness which
the ring authorities are trying to put
off upon unsuspecting purchasers at
distance are valueless. 1t appears
that these shinplasters were lately Of
fered to the financial men of Phila-
delphia and rejected, as having no
market value. 1t is probable that the
whole subject I f the ring expenditures,
and their light-handed and corrupt
action, will be made the subject of in
vestigation at the next session of Con-
gress. 1t is common remark that, if
this investigation be made thorough,
the revelations will throw the Credit
MobilIer rascality entirely in the shade,
but that too many members are inter
ested in shutting down on the inquiry
for any real and effectqal righting of
the truth. As specimen of hsw this
ring proceeds, they are paying a favor
lite contractor forty cents per cubic
yard for removing dirt from one of the
Capitol Hill streets. This is done
without advertising or inviting com
petition. Just alongside of this exca-
walton, Mr.. Clark, the architect of the
capital, is having dirt removed at
cost of twelve (l2) cents per cubic
yard The two places are side by side.
Much of the work done by the ring is
so:bad as to require renewal, and it is
estimated that millions have been
thrown away in sewers alone. Not
withstanding these enormous expendi-
lures and debt equal to one-quarter
the total value of the city property,
the leading streets were never in a
worse and more dangerous condition
than at present. Excellent granite
is removed to make way for |
wood pavements which will not las. q /.
fourth of the time. With the failure |
to kidnap Dana, of the New York |
Sun, the ring are now hopeless of
stirling the voice of the press.

The Proposed Narrow Gauge Railroad
Between Edgefield and GAINESVILLE,

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen
of Edgefeld met last night in adjourn
ed session, Magyar Glenn in the chair.
The Mayor introduced Col. w. w.
Vaughan, who addressed the Board
in favor of building narrow gauge
railroad from Edgefield to GAINESVILLE.
He cited Nashville, Atlanta, Chicago.
st. Louis and other cities, as instances
where railroads had been built and
had made them cities. IF Edgefeld
wanted to go upward, she must take a
step forward in the direction of build
ing railroads. A narrow gauge road
could be built for one-half the cost,
and operated for one-third of what it
would cost for broad gauge. Eight
miles of narrow gauge road in West
Tennessee cost SO 80 per day to ope-
rate it, and its receips amounted to
S347 per..day. At this time there were
only two narrow gauge roads in the
South-eight miles in Tennessee and
eleven in Mississippi. He dwelt for
some time ON the resources of Ten
nessee, adducing facts and figures 10
demonstrate that Tennessee was second
to no State in the Union, and he ear
nestly urged the people of Edgefeld
to lend her aid to build this road

JOHN STUART MILL, who is high
English authority, on political econO-
nv. saws: THE vast increase of pro-
auctions caused by inventions and sci
entific discoveries has not contributed
TO sthe emilioration of the labOring
classes, TO any perceptible extent.
OF course not The tendency of COM
petition is towards reduction of wages,
and a machine that can do the work of
ten men, throws seven or eight out of
employment and not only cheapens
wages; but products also. 1t is
capital that profits by inventions, not
the laborer.
Then what becomes of these addi-
tions to wealth? The New York Her
aid answers thus: Vanderbilt is
richer than he was three years ago, by
s 10000, 900; Daniel Drew, $ 6,0O0, 900;
Henry Smith, $l,000,000; Jay Gould /;
S3.OOO.OOO. Total S23,O0O.0OO So it
will be seen that these four men have
been accumulating wealth ut the rate
S22O00 per day" Wall street swal-
lows up the surplus beyond the neces-
sary subsistence of the producing
classes, to an extent sufficient to give
lis specializing lords power over the
whole land. 1t furnishes money to
move the crops and, consequently, to a
great extent, the crops must move ac-
cording to its interest, and under its
orders. Where the power is, there go
the profits. The four men mentioned
above are but very few of the Radi-
cal capitalist who are sucking the life
blood of honest industry and sapping
the foundations of public virtue and
popular liberty, yet their victims are
the warmeSt supporters of the party
TO which they belong.
