occasion that few audiences could be found In New

Dreciatfye under his influence II was programme Of
rare interest The works selected were the SONATA

from The "Flying Dutchmann and tho "rannhauser
March arranged Tor the piano by List; the Cats

by Schubert; the "Ave Maria' and ''Watz Caprice
by the same author with the interchangeable Llszt's
arrangement three original works by the father in
operas we're delivered with extraordinary power ana

and he seemed 10 revel in the brilliant setting OF the

latu Bach Mozart and Handel represent all that is
worth knowing OF the earliest piano literature Won
Bhlow played the selections from the works
of this glorious quartet in magnificent

that the melody OF the "Aye Maria' had vocal in

PoUGHKEErsrE, Dec. z 1875.
Men have been graphing for bodies an day at the
wreck Of the sunny side, but none have been found
Captain Wocett believes the grappiers viii not meet
with success because Of the fast accumulatng and

Cornell superintendent Of the Citizens Steamboat
Company and Frank Walker, Of the elderly woman
whose body was found. As yet nothing new has been
elected The evidence merely corroborates statements
previously given Abram Simmons, and his son, Isaac
smmous Of Troy came from the wreck this afternoon
Isaac simmons says that when the small boat up
set he was standing the hurricane deck talking with
four men, whom he has not since though he has
been al the wreck two days. He believes they were
DROWNED.
n this be so fifteen persons were drowned instead OF
eleven, Abram Simmons lost his vest, containing
$3.50 Isaac Simmons says that before the accident he
was talking with the French iewery dealer who is re-
ported lost and he told him he did business Maiden
lane near Broadway. To night Adoph Plathy, who
Is an importer at Nos. AZ and 40 White street. New

only retire TO the broken ruins Of past
victories 10 commune in solitude
with the scenes and companions of
the past. The executive committee
meet ssain this morning, and we are
glad OF the oppor unity Of saying to
them not only personally, tut political
ly, that while We think they have done
the Democratic party the deepest and
almost irreparable injury, yet we have
no intention o. impugniug more than
their judgment. We believe they see
this even now, aud regret their hssty

matter by any further action. This
could only still further arouse the oppo-
sition Gf those who would never have
dreamed OF it but for the unfortunate
declaration. We eau only hope, now,
that they will take such measures Of
energetic action as will guard against
the Vaccinations we have revealed.

exists, the pure mantle Of Democracy to

THE Savannah NelOs's Washington

gsgement is raging between the carpet
bsggers and scallswsgs of Middle Ten
nessee over the Federal offices. The
latter hold the Offices and the former
are trying to oust them. These ex.
Federal colonies, O'R0urke, Jones and
Gslbraith, have been pushing for the
collectorship, the marEhal's position
aud the peasion agency, and have Teen
backed up pretty heavily. But the pres
ent collector, Cliff, is backed by Brown
low, whose son Jim msrried his dsugh-
ter, and John Brownlow has been here
acting for the parson in preventing any
change. The csTpettagge1s sigh for
Maynard as their hopes, and say that
Jskey Ih9rnburgb, the Republican
member for that State, is no account. So

their board bills and return home"

uncomfortable tidings that the city is

that our too heavy debt had been re-

ment allottiDg the speakeTship TO Penn

the serge lnt-at- rms to Ohio. II is not
kHown who planned this ingenious COM
binaiiOn, but il looks not unlike the
work OF Fern audo Wood. In promising
the south the clerkship, no name for
that position was agreed upon. The
prot ability Is that the congressman from
that section will meet in independent
caucus and decide upon the choice of q
man who will be voted for by the RAN
dali men in the general caucus, in return
for the southern vote for Randall, The
choice of the south for clerk will, it is
thought tonight, be limite1 to three
nsmes, viz: George c. Wedde, burn, the
unanimous candidate of the Virginia del
egation; General DuBose, Of Georgia,
and A. B. Banks, of Mississippi. The
sergesnt-at arms being conceded to
Ohio, the choice of the delegation from
that State will, it is believed, fall upon
John G. Thompson, ch airmsn OF the ex-

THE COTTON EXCHANGE.
Report Of the Committee on the PrOtec-
IiOn of the Staple.

a meeting of the cotton exchange was
held yesterday for the purpose OF near
ing the report OF the committee on the
protection Of colt u. There was large
attendance, and the meeting adople the
committees report, which is as follows:
The committee on protection OF cot
ton, at q meeting held November %,
1876, resolved that the following be SUBJ
mitted to the cotton exchange for ap-
proYal, namely:
First-Thst all cotton sold shall be
understood to be ia good shipping order,
and if proved not 10 be 50 snail be i'm
media,ely put in order at the expense of
the seller.
Second-That no buyer or his agent
shall be permitted, in the examination
OF cotton, TO take from the bale more
than an average of one pound and half
per bale, nor shall he be allowed to
knock off tie for the purpose of re-
sampling. In case the warehouseman
should have reasonable grounds for be-
lief that the buyers receiver has taken
more than one pound and a half per
bale average from the cotton, he shall
have the right, and it shall be his duty,
70 weigh the loose cotton, and if found
to be in excess OF an average as sfore-
said, he shall retain the surplus, subject
to the order Of the seller of the cotton.
We earnestly recommend TO the at
tsntion Of the exchange the resolutions
adopted by this committee and submit.
ted and passed upon by the exchange
January 4, 1875, as follows:
ReSolUed, That warehousemeu be requested
to turn out cotton sold by factors on skids or
dunnage, and cover It with tarpaulins when
necessary TO protect IL from the rain. If the
cotton should remain out over twenty-four
hours (after being turned out by order of The
buyer before IL is received, all expense of
protecting IL from weather after that time
shall be paid for by the buyer.
Resolved That ii shall be the duty of ware
housemen TO put cotton On skids when re.
ceived by them wet, and to take all means
necessary to dry the same, and to use tarpau-
Inns or other means adequate to protect it
from constant rain, snow or sleet..
Resolved, That cotton factors be reque tied
TO pay more particular attention to the con-
ultiOn in which they receive cotton from the
coma on carriers, and require them to deliver
the same in like good order in which they re-
csiVe IL from the shipper.
We regret to say that there is no evil
dence that 30 far proper attention has
been paid to the above Resolutions by
either warehousemen, by railroads, or
steamers. We urge upon factors greater
attention to the condition Of cotton re-
ceived from carriers.
