COLUMBUS, o., Sept. 17.-At a meeting
of the society of the Army of the Cumber-
land this morning, Gen. Craft from the
Committee on the Thomas monument re-
ported that commission has been given to
j. q. A. Ward for a foot equestrian statue
Of Gen. Thomas, the statue to be completed
in three years, and to cost $4,000, exclu-
siye of the pedestal. The War Depart
ment has donated eighty-eight bronze
cannon, which will be sold and the pro-
ceeds used for this purpose. This will
leave about $4,000 to be collected by sub
sGiptiOn. The meeting to-day adopted a
resolution for a renewal OF efforts in raising
this sum.
Gen. J. A. Waterman, of Chicago, was
chosen orator for the next meeting, with
Gen. Grosvener, Of Athens, as alternate.
The following officers were elected for
the ensuing year: President, p. III. Sheri-
dan; Vice Presidents from various States
in which the Society of the Army of the
Cumberland is represented; Recording Sec
retary, Geo. W. Steele, Of Elyria, Ohio;
Corresponding Secretary, Henry NJ. Crest,
of Cincinnati; at the earnest request of Col.
w. 5. Squire, the next meeting
Of the society will be held in Utica,
n. Y, Sept. 10, and II, 1875. Members
of the society were shown places of
interest about the city. The city presents
beautiful appearance tonight. At various
points on High street arches Of Chinese
lanterns are upon the street, cOlOred lights
are burning at various points, and the
places OF business are handsomely lighted.
The streets are thrOnged by thousands.
Never since the war has such a display
been made here. The City Hall, where
the banquet is to be held, is elegantly dec
Grated and brilliantly Illuminated. An
immense ''coTps" badge made by gas jets
ornaments the city building, so it can
be seen a long distance. The Hobbies in
the hall are also magniioently decorated,
and covers are laid for 600 guests.

TWENTY-FIVE WOMEN EXPECTING
TO DIE.

Among the passengers who came into
port yesterday on the steamship Japan were
twenty-five Chinese women. All were
young in years and prepOssessing in ap-
peaTance. The Commissioners of Lmmi-
grafton becAme satisfied that it was their
duty to inqu re into their moral character,
and for this purpose they were taken from
the steamer and brought 10 the City Hall.
Pending the action Of the Fourth District
Court they were placed i'm the Mayors
Office in charge of the Sheriff. Among the
crowd who were II the courtroom were a
number of Cinnamon. One of these,
while passing the Mayors office on his way
out, spoke few words to the women, and
Immediately an uprOar ensued the like Of
which was never heard before. IL seemed
as if a pandemOnium had broken loose,
or that some madhOuse was giving a
vocal entertainment All the poor crea-
lures, with one accord, began to cry and
moan in a pitiful manner. Some threw
themselves flat upon the floor, beat their
breasts and tore their hair; others butted
their heads against the wall, and rolled
about in perfect agony Of despair. When
the .YellOw Maria arrived, in which they
were TO be taken 10 the county Jail, the
scene increased in violence. Many Of
them had to be carried bodily to the vehi
Gle, while they rent the air with screams
and shrill crying. The Chinaman who
spoke to the woman intimated that they
were 10 be taken from that room to their
death. They were to be hanged immedi-
ately, and the wall they set up was in con-
sequence. They believed the man, and for
time experienced such agony as they
would suffer in the face Of impending
death.

WASHINGTON.
The Usual Batch OF Lies About Affairs
I'm the south.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-Attorney Gen
eral Williams has received large number
of letters from United States Marshals, at
torneys and others, representing a terrible
state of affairs in portions of the States of
AlaOama, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi
and Louisiana. There is not so much dis
turbance as heretofore in South Carolina.
Correspondents say there is no safety
for colored people. There are no COM
plants from Texas, North Carolina and
Virginia. 1t is supposed in official quar-
tiers that white mems leagues for aggressive
purposes are widespread in the South, and,
therefore, matters are more serious than
many suppose and require prompt attention,
especially in Louisiana.
The Court Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.--The President
will not return to Long Branch, having
given directions to have his personal effects
brought to Washington. Secretary Belk-
nap will return here from Columbus, Sat
urday, instead of Monday next, as he Origi-
nally intended.
Condition Of the Crops.
The September returns of the Depart
ment of Agriculture indicate an average

against ninety-five in September, 1873.
The acreage of the crop is seven per cent.
greater than last year, which would bring
the aggregate yield to nearly an average on
last years acreage. All the New England
and Middle States are above the average, ex-
cept Delaware, which is full the average.
All the Atlantic and Gulf States are below
the average, except Alabama, which is l0l.
The inland Southern States are all below
the average, Arkansas presenting the maxi
mum of the whole country, which is 100.
North of the Ohio river, most of the coun-
ties were not visited by chinch bugs. Of
the present superior crops, Ohio, Michigan
and Indiana are above the avela-e, and Illi-
nois 2 per cent. below. Wisconsin is re
duced - per cent. below byi he drought and
chincllse. West of the Mississippi the
drought, intense heat, hot winds, chinches
and grasshoppers have reduced all of the
States below the average, except Missouri.
The Pacific States are above the average.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1T.-George Ellis, ex-
President of the late National Bank of the
Commonwealth, was indicted in the Uni
ted States Circuit Court on charges of mis-
applying $4,000, belonging to the bank,
and for making or causing to be made, false

been tried on that Indictment at the OctO-

Discoveries Near the North Pole.
According TO accounts in late London
journals, the Austrian North Pole expedi-
tiOn was frozen in at the north point of
Nova Zembla in August, 1872, and was
driven in a nOr.hwesterly direction with
ice. The crew worked five months in vain
during the summer of 1873 to free the ship.
In the autumn of that year, north of the
S0th degree of latitude, an unknown land
was discovered, whose boundary line, north
and west, was not to I've seen. A thin line
was explored i'm Sledges from the 9th
March TO the 4th q May, 1874, up to the
SD degree. In honor of the Emperor Of
Austria, this was named Franz Joseph
Land. There were no signs of animal life.
On the 2Oth of May, 1874, the crew left the
ship TO get off in four sledges, and after
travelling ninety-siX days, reached Nova
Zembla, where they met with some Rus
sian seamen and were taken to WardOe, in
Norway. after undergoing indescribable
sufferings and privatiOns.

The Bishop of Mayence has explained
the rcascIs why the Catholic Church in
Germany could not take part in the oele-
bratiOn Of the anniversary of Sedan. The
festival, he SAYS, is not promoted BY the
entire people, but by party which faselY
represents itself as the representative of ths
German nation, and is taking the lead IN
the struggle against Christianity and Ca
thOlicism. German Catholics, moreover,
have been held responsible for the attempt
Of a disreputable individual. Prayer for
the German people is, however, always =
duty, and the Bishop directed his clergy on
the anniversary itself or the following
Sunday TO pray for the restoration Of that
internal unity without which external
unity is only an empty show.
