This excellent com pany had good audi

House last night. Their entertainment, diff
fered in many respects from the minstrel
shows to which our people have been acous-
toned, was novel and attractive, The
music was particularly fine, especially the
instrumental part. The dress, too, of the
members of the troupe as they appeared up
on the stage, looking as it did like the uni
form of police, was a novelty which caused
much comment. All who favored the New
Orleans Ministries with their presence last
night, Judging by the applause they receiv-
ed, were highly pleased, If the troupe
should come here again they viii receive q

Opening of the New Tobacco Ex-
cIaamrp


The first tobacco sale took place
in this splendid new building on
Wednesday last, and was well at
tended by both planters and mer-
chants. The unpropitious state of
the weather prevented tobacco of
the higher grades from being sent,
and the sales were rather slow for
what was there.
Buyers and sellers were unani-
nous in their approval of the adj
mirable accommodation provided
for them. The sale room is spacious
and lofty, with long table below
for the auctioneer and the ware
1housemen, and a commodious gal
lery for planters who dssire to wit
ness the sale. This distribution,
however, was not rigidly adhered
to on this occasion, planters and
buyers being generally mixed up.
Visitors were inspecting the vari-
Gus rooms of the building through
out the morning The beautiful
music hall in the upper story was to
be opened last night by supper
given by the ladies of the Episcopal
Church. We went to press before
this affair came off, and we can only
our belief that it was a COM
plete success, knowing as we do the
taste and enterprise Of the fair host
esses.

Three Deaths from DIphtheria on
the SOuth side.

Our neighbor Mr.. Nat. Irby has
our sympathies in the loss of three
of his children this week by diph-
liberia. The disease was of the most
malignant type and did its dread
full work rapidly. The children
who died were the three youngest
in the family. Mamie, aged near
ly four, died Sunday morning, Jan.
18th; Willie, ten years of age, died
Tuesday night, Jan. Goth, and Sal
lie, aged six years died Wednesday
morning, Jan. 21st, 1880. The last
two are put away in one grave.
This kind and harmonious family
have been singuiarly free from sick
ness and death. The blow is there
fore all the more keenly felt. The
little graves at Salem Church will
remind us that ........
There's many an empty cradle,
There's many vacant bed,
There's many aloneiy bosom,
Whose light and joy have fled.
FOl thick in every graveyard,
The little hilIocks lie,
And every hillock represents
An angel in the say.

decency, and in justice to ourselves,
support such an organization. or suffer
it to 60 unrebuked. The ofice-seek-
ers-those elected by the great
national party-and others, in their
anxiety for place, appear to be mis-
taking the shadow for the substance,
and announce their willingness to
accept the nomination of the
national party, when their own pow
ers Of observation should convince
them that the national party has not
organized. The men that marshalled
the national forces to victory, have re-
tired. Their work was done, and we'll
done. The issues involved have been
decided for the present, but when the
need for their services again presents
itself, they will be found in the front
ranks as formidable as ever.
The national party in this city, as I
have always understood, was organized
for the purpose of carrying out needed
reforms in favor of the laboripg classes,
regarding Office but as a means to that
end, and numbering in its ranks re-
spectacle, talented, and long-headed
men, as distinguished from the long
cared individuals that claim to have
inherited their mantle, and that look
with watering mouth at the candi-
dates dollar, and regard Office as
first principle. These men publish
their weakness to the community in a
platform or set of rules, or whatever
they may call it, in which they claim
the right ito nominate officers in the
name Of the great national party, by
pretended delegates from ward and
district clubs, that have no existence,
by meeting in secret and laying their
plans to deceive the public, and more
particularly the candidate, reserving
the right by the same accommodating
document to even cast out any rebel
lious brother that may think he is
not receiving his share of the spoils.
Verify, Solomon in all his glory was
not equal to one of these.

Utica Special TO the Chicago Tines
Mayor Harrison, OF Chicago, and
Editor Mumford, of the Kansas City
Times, came to Utica to-day, to inter
view Gov. Seymour regarding the Gin
cinnati convention. The exact re-
suit Of their interview they decline to
impart. They indorsed what the
Times correspondent has heretofore
telegraphed, that, while Gov. Seymour
has not been and is not now candi-
date for the presidency, no living man
is or has been authorized TO decline
the nomination in his name. They
will return early to report to the Gin
cinnati convention that they found
Gov. Seymour in excellent health and
spirits, and in every respect, as regards
health and physical condition, perfect
ly able to withstand the labor of a
canvass or the duties of the presiden-
cy. Both are delegates to the con.
vention.
Senator Herman is at home on an
important railroad damage suit, and
not for political purpose. He called
on Gov. Seymour yesterday. In re-
spouse to the writer's question, "What
will Gov. Seymour do if the unani-
nous nomination of the Cincinnati
convention is rendered him?" Sena-
tor Herman said. 81 am not at liberty
to answer that question" When
Gov. Seymour was asked the same
| question, he replied: THAT emergency
has not yet arisen" The popular
feeling in favor of doing all that il
possible to induce him to accept the
nomination is increasing every day
| Utica democrats are besieged with
letters from all parts of the union t
secure this result. In conversation
with the governor to-day, he told the
Times correspondent that one dele

LIVERPOOL COTTON STATEMENT.
THE CIRCLE AlsOUND THE sun.
Was IL Precursor of Pestilence
in the Country?

From the Pittsburg Telegraph.
The magnificent circle which sur
rounded the sun from IL a. m. until a
late hour of the afternood to-day, at
tracted the attention of all observers,
each in turn pronouncing Judgment on
its origin and venturing opinions as to
its effects, which are as novel as they
we're striking, and even alarming.
One elderly gentleman, who has had
much experience in these astronomi-
cal phenomena, asserts that this circle
was not of yapory composition, such
vapory phenomena being quite fre-
quent, and always indicating rain;
such as the circles around the moon
as we'll as around the sun. These
gray vapory circles being produced by
heavy accumulations of the rising
mists from the waters of the
earth through which the rays of the
sun or moon penetrating, produce
these circles, indicating rain or storms.
But the colored circles of to-day.
which combined all the iridescent
colors of the rainbow, was produced
solely by the malali, or the myriad of
insects in the atmosphere that rise
from the earth and bask in the rays Of
the sun, showing that the atmosphere,
being filed with such insects, must be
the cause of disease. In 1882, our in
formant says, similar magnificent
circle was seen all over the United
States, around the sun, just previous
to the breaking out of the cholera of
that period. 1t was disease which
then prevailed all over the country.
producing terror and distress in all
the large towns and cities and filling
the rural regions with alarm that drove
many people into fright which nearly
killed them before they had the dis
ease.
As the same phenomena in 1882 was
followed by such dire results, what
can we now look for?
