Talmage in the Brooklyn Academy of Music this morning and also at The Christian Herald service in the New York Academy of Music in the even* 1 * * - -1 ~ 4-Ua in?. The remarKauie interest m wjc i latter continues without evidence of abatement. At the service in New York last Sunday evening there were many emotional episodes among the vast audience, and to-night these were repeated, hundreds pledging themselves anew to Christian lives henceforth. Dr. Talmage took for his text at the Brooklyn j Academy: "Faith without works is dead." James ii:20. The Iioman Catholic church has been charged with putting too much stress upon good works and not enough upon faith. I charge Protestantism with putting not enough stress upon good works, as connected with salvation. Gooc' works will never save a man, but ~ orinH Wivrlcs h*? has I 1L <% IlltlU ucktv uvw qvvm .. no real faith and no genui-ie religion. I There are those who depend upon the ! fact that they are all right inside, while I their conduct is wrong outside. Their religion, for the most part, is made up of talk?vigorous talk, fluent talk, boastful talk, perpetual talk. They will entertain you by the hour in telling you how good they are. They come up to such a higher life that they have no patience with ordinary Christians in the plain dischargeo^^^^^.- ; a'^ :L.wiil work j the circumstances of life. We ( do not want a new religion, but the old religion applied in all possible direc- < tions. < Yonder is a river with steep and ' 1?i 1.? it rnara litp u vftiinff t rOUhJ' UdliAD, auu xw j v>?0 J Niagara as it rolls on orer its rough bed. It does nothing but talk about ( itself all the way from its source in the < mountain to the place where it empties ; into the sea. The banks are so steep the cattle cannot come down to drink. , It does not run one fertilizing rill into j the adjoining field. It has not one < grist mill or factory on either side. It < sulks in wet weather with chilling ; fogs. No one cares when .that river is ] born among the rocks, and no one cares ] when it dies into the sea. 13ut yonder ] is another river, and it mosses its banks ( with the warm tides, and its rocks with ] floral lullaby the water-lilies asleep on j its bosom. It invites herds of cattle and flocks of sheep and coveys of birds < to come there and drink. It has three i grist mills on one side and six cotton j factories on the other. It is the wealth j of 200 miles of luxuriant farms. The j birds of heaven chanted wnen it wasj; born in the mountains, and the ocean shipping will press in from the sea to hail it as it comes down to the Atlantic < coast. The one river is a man who < lives for himself. The other river is a ; man who lives for others. i i Do you know how the site of the an- < cient citj of Jerusalem was chosen ? < There were two brothers who had ad- i .joining farms. The one brother had a < large family, the other had no family, i The brother with a large family said: ; "There is my brother with no family, | he must be lonely, and I will try to ] cheer him up, and 1 will take some of the sheaves from my lield in the night- < time and set them over oil his farm, and j r>nthino- ahnnt, it" The other 1 TOJ -brother said: "My brother has a large j family, and it is very difficult for him < to support them; and 1 will help him < along:, and I will take some of the sheaves from my farm in the night- j time and set them over on his farm, ; and say nothing about it." So the work ; of transference went on night after j night, but every morning things seem- j ed to be just as they were, for though ; sheaves had been subtracted from each i farm, sheaves had also been added, and ] the brothers were perplexed and could 1 not understand. But one night the , brothers happened to meet while mak- j ing this generous transference, and the i spot where they met was so sacred that ] it*was chosen as the site of the city of ; Jerusalem. If that tradition should prove unfounded, it will nevertheless ] c+on') -?= * ht^ntifiii allp?orv setting j OVCli-llfc UO w & forth the idea that wherever a kindly j and generous and loving act is performed, that-is the spot lit for some temple of commemoration. I hare often spoken to you about < faith, but now I speak to "you about ; works, for "fa:th without works is i dead." I think you will agree with me < in the stitement t hat the great want of . this world is more practical religion, i "We want practical religion to go into all merchandise. It will suptrvise.lhe ' labelling of goods. It will not allow a < man to say that a thing was made in " ? L ? : * ?in or?/M Vi. one iactory wneu ;i w<*? iuau.^ m. ?uu er. It will not allow the merchant to say that watch was manufactured in Geneva, Switzerland, when it was man- i ufactured in Massachusetts. It will ; not allow the merchant to say that wine camefrom Madeira when itcame from California. Practical religion will walk along by the store shelves and tear off all the tags that make misrepresentation. It will not allow the merchant to say that is pure coffee, when dandelion root and chiccory and other ingredients go into it. It will not allow him to say that is pure sugar, when there are in it sand and gwuiiu gi?oo. , When practical religion gets its full swing Id the world, it will go down the streets, and it will come to that shoe store and rip off the fictitious soles of i many a fine-looking pair of shoes, and show that it is pasteboard sandwiched between the sound leather. And this practical religion will go right into a grocery store, and it will pull out the plug of all the adulterated syrups, and it will dump into the ash-barrel, in front of the store, the cassia bark that is sold for cinnamon and the brickdust that is sold for cayenne pepper; and it will shake out the"Prussian blues from the tea leaves, anil it will sift from the ilour plaster of Paris and bonedust and soapstone,and it will by chemical analysis separate the one quart of Ridgewood water from the few honest drops of cow's milk, and it will throw out the live animalcules from the brown sugar. There has been so much adulteration of articles of food that it is an amazemint ?na that, t.hpre is a healthy man or woman in America. Heaven only knows what they put into their spices and into ihe sugar and into the butter and into the apothecary drug. But chemical analysis and the microscope have made wonderful revelations. The board of health in Massachusetts analyzed a great amount of what <vas called pure coffee, and found in it not one particle of coffee. In England, there :s a law that forbids the putting of alum in oread. The public authorities examined Ofty-one packages of bread and found them all guilty. The honest physician, writing a prescription, does not know but it may bring death j ? u.-v?Hk */\ nof it" Ko/>oncA I msicau U1 IICta.ll/U *i-> I there may be one of the drugs weakened by a cheaper article, and another drug may be in full force, and so the ( prescription may have just the oppo- { site effect intended. Oil of wormwood warranted pure from Boston was found to have forty-one per cent of rosin and Hi con oi anucMoro'.orm. ^caunuouy is j one of the most valuable medical drugs. It is very rare, very precious. It is the j sap or the gum of a tree or a bush in | hyria. The root of the tree is exposed.

Xow, pracdcal religion will yet rectify all this. It will" go to those hypocritical professors of religion who got a "cjrner" in. corn and wheat in Chicago and New York, sending prices up and up UDtil thev are beyond the reacfi of the poor, kecpiDg these breadstuff; in their own hands, or controlling them until the prices going up and up they were, after awhile, rsudy to sell and* they sold out. making themselve: millionaires iu one ur iwu jrais?n ? ing to fix the matter up with the Lore by buildiDg a church or a university 01 a" hospital?deluding themselves witr the idea that the Lord would be sc pleased with the gift He would forgbl the swindle. Xow. such a man may not have any liturgy in which to su; his prayers, I will compose for him out which "he practically is making: "(_ Lord, we, by getting a'corner' in bread stulis, swindled the people of the Unit ed rftates cut of ten million dollars and made suffering all up and down the land, and we would like to compro mise this matter with thee. Thot knon'tst it was a scaly job, but theni. was smr.rt. Take one per cent-^^ profits, and with that one von can build an asyUyMflhese poor miserable ra gluing uf the street, and I will take a ya^ go to Europe, forever A men." .^ Jy friends, it' a man hath gotten *VS .'Stats wrongfully and he bulds a lye of hospitals and universities from /ere to Alaska, he cannot atone :or it. After awhile, this man who has jeen getting a '"corner" in wheat, dies, ind then Satan gets a "corner" on hira. lie goes into a jjreat, lor g Black FriJay. There is a "break" in the market. According to Wall Street parlance, he wiped others out, and now he is himself wiped out. No collaterals on which to make a spiritual loan. Eter aal defalcation! But tbis practical religion will not :>nly rectify all merchandise; it will also rectify all mechanism, and all toil. A time will corns when a man will work as faithfully by the job as he ioes by the day. You say when a thing is slightingly done: "Oh, that was lone by the job." You can teil by the swiftness or the slowness with which i hackman drives whether he is hired or the hour or the excursion. If he is hired by the excursion he whips up the horses -o as to get around and get another customer. All styles of work have to be inspected. Ships inspected, machinery inspected. Boss to watch the journeyman. Capitalists coming iown unexpectedly to watch the boss. Conductor of a city car sounding the punch bell to "prove his honesty as a hands to hira a clipped aickel. All things must be watched and inspected. Imperfections in tht wood covered with putty. Garments warranted to last until you put them Dn the third time. Shoddy in ail kinds jf clothing. Chromos. Pinchback. Diamonds for 81.50. Bookbindery that holds on until you read the third chapter. Spavined horses, by skillful lose of jockeys for several days made lo look spry. Wagon tires poorly put Dn. Horses poorly shod. Plastering that cracks without any provocation 111(1 tails On. Jt'iumumg mm uccus iu be plumbed. Imperfect car wheel that halts the whole train with a hot box. 50 little practical religion in the mechanism of the world. I tell you. my friends, the law of man will never rectify things. It will be the all-pervading lulluence of the practical religion Df Jesus Christ that will make the change for the better. Yei, this practical religion will also jo into agriculture, which is proverbially honest, but needs to be rectified, and it will keep the farmer from sending to the New York market veal that is too young to kill, ana wnen tne iarmer farms on shares, it vtHI keep the man who does the work from making his h ilf three-fourths, and it will keep the farmer from building his post ind rail fence on his neighbor's premises, and it will mike him shelter his cattle in the winter storm, aud it will keep the old elder from working on Sunday afternoon in the new ground where nobody sees him. And this practical religion will hover over the house, and over the barn, and over the lield, and over the orchard. Yes, tnis practical religion of which I speak will come into the learned pro fessions. The lawyer will leei ins responsibility in defending innocence and arraigning evil, and expounding the law, and if will keep him from charging tor briefs he never wrote, and for pleas he never made, and for percentages he never earned, and from robbing widows and orphans because they are defenseless. Yes, this practical religion will come into the physician's life, and he will feel his responsibility as tbe conservator of the public health, a profession honored by the fact that Christ himself was a physician. And it will make him honest, and when he does not understand a case he will say so, not trying to cover up lack of diagnosis with ponderous nr <;pnfl the Datient to a ^WU.VUi^.v., v.. ? reckleS3 drug store because the apothecary happens to pay a percentage on the prescriptions sent. And this practical religion will come to the school teacher, making her feel her responsi bility in preparing our youth lor usefullness and for happiness and fcr honor, and will keep her from giving a sly box to a dull head, chastisiag him for what he cannot help, and sending discouragement all through the after years of a iifetime. This practical religion will also come to the newspaper men, and it will help them in the gathering of the news, and it will help them in setting forth the best interests of society, and it will ke*p them from putting "the sins of-the world in larger type than its rirtues, and its mistakes than its achievements. Yes, this religion, this practical religion will come aud put its hand on what is called good society, elevated society, successful society, so that people will have their expenditures within their income, and they will exchange the hypocritical "not at home" for the honest explanation "too tired,"-or "too busy to see you," and will keep innocent reception from becoming intoxicated conviviality. There has sot to be a new departure in religion. I do not say a new religion. Oh, no; but the old religion breusht tc new appliances. In our time we hay? had the daguerrotype and the ambrotype and the * photograph, but it is the same old sun, and these arts are only new appliances ol the old sunlight. So this glorious nnnnfi is inst what we want to pho tograph the image of God on one soul, ami daguerreotype it on anothei soul. .Not a new Gospel, but the old Gospel put to new work. In our time we have had the telegraphic iuventior and the telephonic invention anc the electric light invention; but the) are all the children of old electricity an element that the philosophers have a long while known much about. Sc this electric Gospel need to flash it! light on the eyes and ears and souls ol iiwnmp -a t*]f?nhome niediua l-LHwii, k/VVW...v - to make the deaf hear: a telegraphic medium to dart invitation and warn ing to all nations; an electric lijfht tc illumine the eastern and western hem ispheres. Not a new gospel, but thi oid gospel doing a new work. Now you say, "That Is a very beauti ful theory, is it possible to take one': religion into all the avocations and bus iness of life?" Yes, and I will give vo; some specimens. Medical doctors whi took their religion into every day life Dr. John Abercrombe, of Aberdeen, th | greatest Scottish physician of bis daj I his book on "Diseases of the brain ani | spinal cord." no more wonderful tha; ; his book on "The Philosophy of the i i Moral imd often knciinij at ' I the bed-He of his patients to co:umm?I J them to God iii prayer.

Consecrate to him your store, your shop, your banking house, jour factory, and your home. They say no one will hear it. God will hear it. That is enough. You hardly know of any one else than Wellington as connected with the victory at Waterloo; but he did not do the hard fighting. The hard fighting was done by Somerset cavalry and the Highland regiments, and Kempt's infantry, and the Scotch Greys arid the Life Guards. Who cares, if only the day was won. In the latter part of the last century a girl in Eogland became a kiichenmaid in a farm-house. She had many stvles of work and much hard work. ! Time rolled on, and she married the sun of a weaver of Halifax. They weiajndustrious; they saved money enough after awhile to build them a home. On the morning of the day when they were to enter that home, the young wife arose at 4 o'clock, entered the front door-yard, knelt down, consecrated the place to God, and there made this solemn vow: '*0 Lord, if thou wilt bless me in this place, the poor shall have a share of it." Time rolled on ana a fortune roLed in. Children grew up around them, and they all became affluent. One a member of parliament, in a public place declared that his success came from that prayer of his mother in the door-yard. All"of them were affluent. Four thousand hands in their factories. They built dwelling houses for their laborers at cheap rents, and when they were inra | lid and could not pay they naa ine houses for nothing. One of thes* sons came to this country admired our parks, went back, bought land, opened a great public park and made it a present to the eity of Halifax, England. They endowed an orphanage, they endowed two almshouses. All England has heard of the generosity and good works of the CrossTeys. Moral: Consecrate to God your small means and your hurabie surroundings, and you will have larger ineaus and grander surroundings.

" "Have faith in God bv all KV VViUV. - ? m means; but remember that faith without works is dead.'' A Trair*<?y ?n a Trai*. Little Hock, Ark., Feb. 17?The Pullman Palace car 011 the Iron Mountain passenger train from St. Louis, due here at 2 o'clock this afternoon, was the scene of a dreadful tragedy. At noon to-day, as the train was pulling out from Paid Knob Station, Isadore Myer, a travelling man for Foster; Hill, Son & Co, of Xew York, had just been tranferred from the Memphis train and iirao eittinnr in hi<5 sani. when a man. who sat eating lunch, suddenly drew a pistol and iir?d, killing Myer instantly Conductor ?. \V. Leech, of St Louis, was on the platform, and, hearing the shot, pulled the bell to stop the train. The man thereupon turned and fired at Leech, shooting him in the head. lie fell to the platform dead. All the passengers rushed from the car, one of the doors of which was locked by the porter, the murderer locking the other, leaving it with no other occupant than the dead drummer and his murderer. Soon people ran to the train Trom town, many of them armed, and succeeded in arresting the murderer. It was ascertained that he is an insane man named John W. Greater from Yincenness, Ind., a livery man. ! i Charleston Budget. Charleston, Feb. 18.?The Registration Commissioners met again to- j day but failed to elect a clerk. The!

Recently Our Monthly, published at ' the Thornwell Orphanage, and edited 1 by Rev. W. P. Jacobs, commented as ' follows 011 a circular It received from a distillery: A company calling Itself "The Old ]Si';k Whiskey Company," has sent us its card and prospectus. For once a whiskey company has selected a suita- ! ble name. "Old Xick" is a nickname of the devil, if ever the devil went into business on earth, we have not the least doubt it would be into a liquor distillery or liquor shop of some kind. What surprises us is that these whiskey people acknowledge their silent part- . ner in such an unreserved way. Tbe circular of this company it a curiosity. Its business is to make people disreputable, and yet it brag3 that ten railroad presidents, thirty bank presidents, seventy railroad superintendents, six ex-Governors, one hundred and flfty prominent lawyers, and many other honorable men, are among its customers. We are glad this "Old Nick Co." does not claim any preachers in the list. It fails also to state how many criminals it has made, how many orphans, how many widows, and so on. The record would be interesting. One hundred and twenty-two years of business ought to foot up quite a handsome statistical table. Another peculiarity about the Old XickCo. is its temperance principles. ?\r?n .j,id V*r?thron " if. nathetleallv Ul?U Wiuvin Vi'j ? ^ ? m exclaims, "step now the use of this Northern and Western adulterated whiskey before you injure yourself and your family for life."

C., Feb. 17.?A distressing accident befell the "West bound freight on the Chester and Lenoir Railroad three miles this side of Newton yesterday evening about 4 o'clock. The train left Chester on time with Engineer Shannon in the cab. When the train reached ihe scene of the disaster the entire crevr consisted of about a dozen persons. In crossing Smyres trestle, spanning a small stream, the supposition is thut Engineer Shannon felt the track giving and opened wide the throttle in order to reach the opposite side before the crash. The engine only passed over safelv. while the tender, three or four box cars and a passenger coach went down in a horrifying heap. Dr. S. M. Davega, the railroad physician ot this place, was summoned to the scene and returned this afternoon. His account is a thrilling one. When he reached the spot a scene of horror was presented. He found that Flagman Willie Ross of this County was killed outright, being mangled beyond recognition. Two colored brakemen were also crushed to death. .Engineer Shannon was thrown in a bank of soft mud, and is appearently unhurt, 1 - ? j i DUt is too ua/.eu uy tuc ni^utiui uw/w rence to tell an intelligible story. John Hogg, the fireman, had an arm cut off, his leg shattered and his skull fractured. Rev. M. L.

IS.?A currespondent of the (irr-enville News yesterday met State .Senator M. L. Donaldson, of this city, president of the Alliance Exchange, who was the Alliance nominee for the United States Senate at the recent election. In conversation it was learned that Senator Donaldson holds some interest ing opinions regardin c Mr. Cleveland and his recent letter on the subject of l'ree coinage ol" silver. ' What do you think of Mr. Cleveland's recent utterances in to free coinag^i^,^-^' J'l have^oujr^t a good deal about it 7?u"a.nd con," was the reply. "It cer;ainly shows that he has the courage of lis convictions. I say convictions, be:ause his bold and patriotic stand during his term as President against the mmense monopolistic powers of the jountry on the tariff leaves no ground [or the charge against him of seeking ,o protect Eastern capital by his opposition to free coinage. While I am in favor of free coinage of silver on the jeneral principle that it is pre-eminentv thf n^nnlf's monev. and has ever been .j ~ x r w 7 as far Lack in the ages as history I'urn.shes light, and I cannot conceive of now we can have too much of it in this aver expanding and developing country of ours, yet 1 tirinly believe that Mr. Cleveland, in his opposition to free coinage, from his standpoint and view of the case, is actuated by as pure loyalty to the highest interest and welfare of the country as he is in his position of the tariff." "How do )ou think his stand against free coinage will effect his chances for 10ruination by the Democratic party for President V" "I think he is by all odds the strongt-st man in the party for the place. Jt is now a generally recognized fact that it was bv his courageous and states manlike administration in the interest 3f the toiling masses that the rapidly increasing current of public affairs toward centralization and monopoly was impeded. The common people were encouraged and taught to think and act for themselves, anu the great political revolution which we have recently witnessed toward a true Democratic or pt ople's government was made possible. Air. Cleveland's hand it was that four years ago planted the seed ot true nnnnl.jr finrprrimpnf. in the minrte ami hearts of the people of the United States to the remotest corner, which are now bringing forth abundant harvests and which must result in general prosperity and happiness. If l'ree and unlimited coinage of silver is necessary to that result, it will come too, according to Mr. Cleveland's own doctrine.. by sheer force of the popular will, and he would himself be powerless to stop it." "Then you think the Democracy should stick to Cleveland ?*' "I do, on general principles and for general success. His wise, patriotic and feariess course in the past has given him a strong hUd upon the contidenceof the masses, and X believe they will again put him at the helm till the breakers are passed, and more?they will see to the baling of the goods, silver and ore, and the lading of the ship, through their Representatives. It would be a great risk at this time to try to turn away the popular mind from a tried leader. The chances are that, like in the case of blind and hungry old Isaac feeling around some shary politician will scramble to the front, and with hands covered with the skin of the new slain goat receive the touch, and without the merit of patriotism, statesmanship or achievement, receive high and solemn honors and - - I a Vva ntA?*n 4-a /lii?nrQ/l i f L1UE>U>, ULUy tU UC nuili cvj one uiouuau of himself and those who bestowed them." "How will the Alliance take Mr. Cleveland's attitude on the silver question V" "The Alliance has spoken in no uncertain terms in l'avor of free coinage and will use every honorable means to secure it. At the same time they will be sensible and deliberate about it. The membership of that powerful organization have made rapid progress in the study of the science of econimic government. As is well known, the great body of Alliance men are crop producers and wage earners, and, while they want a sound currency and a larger currency, they do not forget that in order to possess these new dollars they must be earned, and when earned it is quite important to be able to retain a reasonable portion of them for home use. "They recognize the fact that it is of little use to increase the rations of the patient who is emaciated by running wounds. Till those wounds are healed, * ? ana tncy iudi juou tmo Mr. Cleveland has been trying to do when he endeavored to stop the drain upon their resources?as caused by the iniquitous tariff and protection laws of the Government, and that greatest of all, the Puritan laws. In short, I think the Alliance will use a glass large enough to take in the entire lield and not stake their all on one card." Solid for Cleveland. Washington, Feb. 18.?Political gossips are uusy io-uigu(- uisuussiug the following statement published in the Star this afternoon: "It is a trifle early in the campaign for gentlemen of any party to decline Presidential nominations, "but the example set by Mr. Cleveland is being followed. Of course the Ex-President's silver letter is not a direct declination, but it has all the effect of a direct refusal. Now it is Senator Gorman who does not want the nomination. "When statesmen and others were being interviewed on Mr. Cleveland's most recent metallurgical epistle Senator Gorman was one of the more prominent Democrats who refused to make any pertinent comments. By some this silence was adjudged to be evasive, aud a story at once went into circulation in which was a statement that when the time came, when the voice of the Convention was heard in the land. Representative Rusk, of Maryland, would enter Senator Gorman in the race foi the Democratic nomination. "Just now Mr. Husk is paying: but little attention to legislative matters, for he is engaged in preparing a statement to be made public to-morrow, in which he will clearly set forth his posi1 ' 5 11 ~ ^ /'ABmrtu on/1 lion UUU LUilb U1 OCliillUl UU1 UKUI, ouu declare their unfaltering loyalty to Grover Cleveland. "It is understood that Mr. Husk will furthermore state that Maryland will send a solid Cleveland delegation to the next Convention, even if the Convention should be held in St. Louis. Mr. Rusk represents the third Maryland district in the present Congress, is chairman of the State central Democratic committ- e and president of the Calumet Club. He ought, therefore, to know what he was talking about."? News and Couriers lh? Cotton Supply.

C, Feb. IS.?To his excellency. 1). It. Tillman, governor of South Caroliua: Sill?Having been appointed by your excellency to examine the books and accounts of the State penitentiary, and having performed that work tothei^j^ of my ability, 1 beg to ?f\>llowing report: -' Awork of the investigation thinki.ig it would not be a very difficult undertaking, being under the I impression that the chief work would j consist in an examination of the cash i account of the bookkeeper, but 1 found I upon examination thac this account j had not been kept up?at l?ast the ceedit side of it?and that there had been no balance struck since the beginning of 1855. 1 had, therefore to take the several annual reporis of receipts and expenditures and verify them, which required an immense amount of labor and the utmost care and scrutiny, having to go over and examine almost every entry rx'ifhirt thp Iflct UJclUC Hi VUUJvo iiibiiiii vuv AVWV twelve years. As the result of the examination, I find that Mr. liateman, the bookkeeper and treasurer, omitted to charge himself with ? Amount received from A. C. Dibert for hire of convicts for 1886, 84,388.07. As against this, I find that he is entitled to the following credits: By paid Central National Bank....?1,500 00 paid interest to " " .... 199 50 pa.d Sheriff Rowan costs in Chappellsuit 100 75 pa!d Recording contracts G 00 paid Interest on note for fertilizers 12 03 paid Columbia Refining Company 10 20 paid freight on brick tc Elkin.. 0 00 paid D. Jones's accts. 1887 and 188S, omitted 49 98 paid W. J. Talbert (included inamt. turned over) 1,3G3 87 paid difference in errors discovered (pro and con) 5 92 ?3,456 57 Balance to be accounted for, ?930.80. From the foregoing staiement it would seem that he still owes tne sum or i 8930.80. This, however, he contends is not the case, as he claims to have paid Messrs. Lorick & Lowrance 8936.72, for which, in the above statement, I have not given him credit. As to this, I would say that it appears from the accouut of Messrs. Lorick & Lowrance, as the same stands on the books of the penitenti ry, that said Crm has been paid the sum of 8936.72 in excess of the amount of goods furnished the penitentiary, either as : appears from their bills on file, or from the entries made in the books of that | institution. Mr. JBateman insists that while he has failed to enter the bills for this amount, and while he is unable to produce them, he is satisfied that the goods were furnished; that the State has received the benefit of them, ana that thereiore ne is euuueu tu <4 ( credit for that amount. This may all be tru?, and I am satisfied that Mr. Bateman verily believes! such to be the case; but, so lar as the book* and accounts go, there is nothing to show it. In conclusion, I am pleased to be able to say that while I found a good many errors and omissions in the entries in the books, the same, in my nnininn. was rather the result of that carelessness which generally comes of a long continuance in the same position, than from any disposition or intention to do wrong, as 1 believe that Mr. Bate man has been actuated by the purest motives and utmost integrity of purpose. Ktspectfully submitted. It. E. IIili Twenty 1'eople Quebec, Feb?-i'.?A terrible boiler explosion occurred Ibis morning at the works or the Quebec worsted company, at Hare Point, on the northeastern outskirts of this city. The works had been closed down 1 lie last two weeks, while the boilers and mach inery were overhauled auci refitted. Operations were to have been resumed this morning, and 300 operatives were on hand, but owing to some cause me macumery ? us uui started, and they were dismissed. Most of them fortunately went away, but many remained ahout the building. About 9.45 o'clock there was a sudden explosion, which completely wreckedthe engine aud dye houses, and demolished a large part of the main building. The noise of the explosion was heard all over the city, and a great crowd gathered about the scene. The work of rescuing those buried in the ruins and recovering the bodies of the dead was at once commenced. For tunately, the horrors of lire were not added to the calamity. The excitement was ?o great and the crowd so enormous that jrfattery B of artillery was ordered down to assist the police in maintaining order. In the great confusion which prevailed, it was impossible to get a reliable list of killed and wounded, and this may not be obtained until the ruins are thoroughly examined. Several persons who were supposed to be in the ruins have turned up, having left the mill before the explosion. About twcntv dead have already been taken out, besides as many badly injured. The cause of the accident is not yet known, but it is thought some of the pipes may have been frozen while the lires were out. Gobbled by Goald. Savannah, Ga., Feb. 14.?From an authentic source comes the report that the Central railroad is to be leased to the Richmond Terminal. One report is that the Richmond and Danville will be the nominal lessee. Eight per cent. on the stock is the price paid. I-'or what time the lease will run is not stated. It is rumored here that Gould, Thomas Scott and I3rice will manipulate their Southern railroads, and that the Caihouns and the Inmans will not have the voice in the management they have had. The resignations of two more Central officials have been asked for, it is said. A lively shaking up of things is looked for soon.. Jay Gould was evidently well pleased with the Central. lie will work it for all it is worth, of course. If the rates are not perfectly satisfactory though, the Legislature will smash his schemes, so far as Georgia is concerned. ?Augusta Chronicle. Rescued Mariners. 2seav Orleans, Feb.
