From the Columbia Reguter. Accompanied by au old and long-tried ^iend of tho Governor's, we drove out to ia Excellency's residence in thc Sand lilts, some mile and a half from the Min houHe. It was a bright, u beautiful ty, and never a Wednesday i miled hack [Uh brighter and gladder heart thuu lat which found un on our way to con ilt with Carolina's great leader, who, rilhout seeking it, seems unconsciously have climbed into tho position of thc treat leader of this wide Southern land. ?rave, frank and Kteady, yet careful, pa ient, poised.

These were the re jections which naturally reguled m as iur trusty bay, nothing loath, turned off he sand from his heels for the hospitable ?ortul of the Governor's humble little lome amongst tho "4glack-jacks." TUE HOU ESTE AD. As we' drove up Lo the quaint little nick cottage, with three rooms on a row, ind a projecting Irame entrance, we were "?ucli unpressed by the primitive, simple, lexpensive uir of all thc surroundings, [f au old-fashioned log hut in brick can le imagined, we have the mansion to a lot. As we drove up to the door, we drove Hind a dismal effort at an old-fashioned Hrele in front, bordered by a faintly jlevcloped hedge struggling for life in the hin Bandy soil. In this "circle" of fair limeiiHions a single stunted magnolia was shimmering its dark green leaves in the Hight January sunlight, and it reminded is of the colored brother's recommenda ion of his pig-"ee little but ee ole.' Veil, we circled round and up to the ?overnor'a door. FORMER MILLIONAIRE IN HIS BLACK JACK HOME. A:, we did so, a colored servant of the enuine tint, who had evidently not ut iinpted a change of skiu, approached s politely, Mid quietly receiving our ames retired lo the Governor's room for hatructions. Hs soon returned, and iking our horse he invited us into the liddle room-a plain, very plain, but mfortably furnished room-surrounded u all sides with a fair remnant of the overnor'a ante bellum library. There hey reposed on the bb el ves-the well lectcd handsomely bound tomes of the est authors in the language. Over the lantle leant a richly framed painting he last, perchance, of a once prized ?aiicry, as the great McDuifie tj.uoi.ed in memorable speech, and the great Swe ish songstress has oftentimes so sweetly CHUPcitated, "like the last ro?e of Ruin ier, left blooming alone." We were not left to our own reflections long, for soon the door to the Governor's chamber open ed and w-e were kindly invited in. THE MAN HIMSELF. We found the old hero iii bed, but ?very inch a man again. Ile received us with a quiet yet frunk warmth, pecu liarly his own manner. The Governor, like all his near of kin, is an unmistaka bly modest man, and a reticence which amounts to something of hauteur in the eye of a stranger at first glance ia soon recognized-by ouc familiar with society ?s the natura! coyness of a truly modest nature. The gentleman accompanying us cor Tratulated the Governor on his ?talwait appearance, notwithstanding his wrestle with the grim-visaged Mors, at the same time taking occasion to excuse himself for noi. calling before, saying frankly, "I thought, Governor, unless 1 ?.ame to nurse you, I played the part of true friendship in staying away." "Ab, well," said the Governor, "I waa always glad to seo my old friends. I Bent you soveral messages to come and see me. You would not have disturbed me at all. Yet, I recognize and appreciate your kind intentions, and nm only glad you have broken all rcatraint and come to see me thin morning." It was then remark ed, "Why, Governor, your face docs not show your recent illness ut al), either as to its fullness or the cheerful yet compo sed expression of your countenance. Oh, we'll have you out before long, as much a man as ever." The Governor smilingly shook his head, and with a reflective shade passing serosa bia broad, open face, replied : "Perhaps not, my friend." "Oh, yes," was the quick, genial response of friend ship. "All you want is some seemore sir, the fresh oysters and fish, Borne of the gund wine of vour numerous friends on thc coast, and Richard will be himself again." Governor-"Yea, it will do me much good." OOE3 TO CHARLESTON ON TUE 22D OF FEBUUARY. "They have invited me to the celebra tion of the 22d in Charleston, and I have uiade up my mind to meet my old friends there, and hope to receive much benefit from it." Correspondent-"How is your appetite now, Governor?" "Not good at all," unid tho Governor, pushing himself up in his bcd. "It could not be expected otherwise.

Governor-"I doo t think it will hurt me a bit, and whatever my humble opin ions are worth, I feel tho country ia en titled to them just aa they are." Correspondent-"Well, then, Gover nor, what have you to say touching the Jilainc-Teller investigation T" THE nOTTOM FACTS WANTED. Governor-"I have no earthly objec tion to tho investigation itself, if the right to make it ?B conceded. Of course, under tho present circumstances, we could not lodge an objection touching unwarrantable espionage involved in tine measure without being misconstrued, and I think Thurman, harmar and Hui ler and other? with them received this measure with most becoming spirit. Now that it has been undertaken, I wish to see it go to tho bottom. Whatever we here have done amis?, let it be shown. However it may expose any possible dereliction of ours, it must do us good in the end. No good citizen, no wise man, no gootl patriot can afford to cloak and cover up fraud or corruption in elections. It goes to the root ot our institutions, and it destroys the fruition ol' liberty it self. Hut we have a right to ask that the Teller committee ?hall tell tho whole story and not the half of it. Whatever comfort there is in it, and I confess it is very poor one. due lind honcBl investiga tion will discover as much irregularity on the Republican ?ide of our household as the Democratic. And this much I may say, that so far a? intimidation is concerned, there wa? literally none what ever on our side, whilst on Ibo Republi can side there are the most unquestion able evidence? of gross intimidation. Two cases of this kind happened with two of the employ?e? of my son-in-law, Col. Haskell. Two of his "hnt^ps" were sadly beaten for voting the Democratic ticket. So, too, thero were instance? ol unquestionable intimidation on the pari of the Republicans all over the State, This was more or le?s to be looked tor Wo had all the surrounding influences ol superior wealth, social and political pow er on our side, which, naturally, without actual or undue constraint, exercises r great control over the average voteta o the country. When, then, the Republi can party uaw power slipping from theil banda like water from the broken vessel! at the well, they first denied it and thor put liie thumb-screws on their colored partisans to hold them to their old politi cal reckoning? whether or no. Ever) sensible man, North or t?oulh, will a once recognize thin condition of things and the unvarnished truth of the relatiot thereof. Hence, though I haTe been per milted to exercise the executive function of my office since the election, owing t< thc unhappy accident which befell me the executive of the State, in the worthj hands into which it has fallen, will bi found, I doubt not, recognizing fact? ai they are, opposed lending itself to use less and unworthy recriminations on th colored Republican? in this matter. Ou court? are fully open to all partie?, am our State law? will be found amply prov ident und sufficiently penal touching thi whole matter. Our judges aro gontleme above reproach, and will know neithe Republicans or Democrat? in thc-, die charge, of their duties, and whatever fan! might bu found with juries on the ?cor of partisan bia?, either on one sido or th other, there would bo the evidence take under thc control of unpartisan judr. ! and sent to the jury under charges whi.: could not and would not squint at frau or intimidation. How happens it, t her that no complaint touching the electior are lodged with ourcoiirt?f W>hy, plair ly because the Republicans know On "those who live in glass houses bhoul not throw stones."

Hero tho conversation nt the band the correspondent was turned for a w into pleasantries of no material mom BO ns tn rest the distinguished invi who it wa? feared might overtax hin wi tin ut being aware of it. Having t ed along quietly for some time, the C crnor wa? then asked : GREENBACKS OR HARD MONEY. "Governor, I presume we will hav ?el you dowu a? a hard money man ? Governor-If pf the rtrtclest ?cl I do mit comprehend the greenback loaopby at ail.

But jet I would, to use Mr. Tilden's phrase, "have got ready to resume," and more or leas invited into co-operation with tue government the wise providence of the business cir cles of thc country, and permitted tho business necessities of the country, with its ahcpinp haud, to disentangle tho fi nancial web which Republican states manship had wound round and round the great industries of the country until ?l stood like the lion in the mealies. The small operations of daily life, gradually cutting mesh after moah, would in duo time, und with wise providence and pa tience, relieved the distress of the coun try, naturally and permanently, budden resumption, in my view, cost the people of '.lie country too much to be advocated. I should have preferred more of what tho doctors call the tentative process than thc enormous physicking through walch the country has been put. No one can tell the countless loss and sorrow through which tho people of this country have passed in this rapid resumption measure, which can be compared to nothing else than the Egyptian order to the Israelites to make bricks without straw. Yet tvhen the hard pan has been reached, painful though the proccas may have been, it does neem to me to be unwise to go back and, perchonce, have unwisely to travel over the same ground again. I do not think it wise for the Democracy at this stage to net buck the wheels of resump tion. Let us rather now take advantage of whatever good may be found in it. The past, with all its sorrows, it would bc as well with all might and main to put bravely behind us, and look out to the wide future before us. The truth is, resumption will prove a partial success or failure before 1880. We, in our own Interests, whether Democrats or other wine, should wisely endeavor to make thc most of it, and the country har. a righi to expect this much nt our hands." THE JACKSON DEMOCRACY. Correspondent-"I believe, Governor you have always stood on tho platform of the Jackson Democracy." Governor-"Ever, nod I stand then to-day. To my view, we should get bud there as last as possible. The true Jack son policy, us I apprehend it, is to disco tangle the business transactions of tlx country from the legitimate financia conduct of government affairs. To mi; the two things is unwarranted by tb constitution and dangerous to the las degree. Why, does not everybody sec from nh ut ha* transpired before us, th.-* the moment that the government become involved in its financial operations wit! those of the country at large, thc mon eyed men of the country and tho grea industrial classes become involved in "a irrepressible conflict," even more terribl than that which the great New Yor politician of a former day pressed upoi the attention of the country?

THE CAMPAIGN OF 1880. I ' ''So far as I can see," continued l Governor, "I do not recognize the nee sity just now of the Democratic pn ' taking on its back the responsibility the financial question.

QUESTION. The Governor then, of bl- own a turned to a considera''nil of tho debt and its being : ict squarely said lie began his adm': Mat ration nd and advocating the broadest gene to the ?public creditor in the intei tho people of the State theivujcl Nothing couid mako him belicvi the peoplo of South Carolina, if let would do wrong in this matter, whole debt, ju- : as it is, could bc c by the people, and (hey would inure to their interest in the end tc the lust dollar bf it as it stood t repudiate or seem to repudiate one ol it. Even if there was no otb? nideratiun, no higher one, we wc jK)or not to protect our credit even from scandal. Still further, the political atti tude of 1SS0 demanded that we (mould not add to our troubles the inductee of commercial men against us in our final struggle for righteous government and home rule. "When I first went to Washington to see Mr. Hayes," said the Governor, "the commercial men of the North sent a delegation ahead of me urging the Pres ident to recognize my government in tho interest of intelligent and honest rule. I found their good word had proven, aa it ought lo have done, potent with tho Chief Executive. It seems to me to come in bad grace from our people now to turn their backs flatly against this same class which, whether our bonds were issued regularly or irregularly, is in possession of them, shorn down in amount by an accommodation, adopted during the Radical rule, between the State and her creditors, so as to leave the State two millions less debt than ber un questioned obligations foot up. This is a fact we can't get awry from, and should we bravely go forward and show our de termination io meet tho last dollar, I am convinced that arrangements can be made through the old English financial agents ol the State to cash all our obligation" for $0,000,001), mid fund the same at a low rate of interest-thus proving an actual, instant pecuniary relief to our people, ami saving our good name with out a blot on it al the same time." "As I have said," lie continued, "I shalj go to Charleston on ube ??2d of Feb ruary, and 1 suppose they will expect me to talk to flinn. If I am strong enough I shall do HO. AS this will nar rowly approach tho time when I must retire from the Executive chair, in which I have honestly and faithfully endeavor ed to serve the beloved people of my be loved State, I shall conclude my trusta with the samp advice that I undertook them, arid that is for our people to meet this obligation to thc full extent of thc letter of the law as well as its spirit." Here, fearing that thc Governor was overtaxing himself, and beholding with wonder how easily and powerfully yet calmly his mind worked as his manly sentiments rung out with the true Hamp ton metal, your reporter softly turned him aside with thc following remark : THE LOVE OF THE TEOrLE. Correspondent-"Well, Governor, you must permit me to say how much pleas ure it always gave me in your serious ill ncsfi that, so fa.' aa the devoted love o? your own people could soothe your an guish, you had it, you had it, sir." "Ali, yes, bir," was the hearty, deep toned reply, "never man more. 1 believe, as confidently as I do that I live, that the prayers of the people saved my life. I will tell you why 1 feel and believe it so firmly. Whilst 1 was lying here at the point of death and had become utterly indifferent whether 1 lived or died, I got a letter from au old Methodist pren ;i. er, one of my old friends. He wrote me word informing me of the deep nnd devout petitions put up in oehalf of my restoration by the Meth odiHt Conference then in aession at Newberry. He then urged upon mo to exercise my will to live in responso to the supplications of tho people of the whole State, who "a pray ing for me night and day in every household in the State. My bister, who had tremblingly brought the letter to my bed side and read it to me. then urged me to listen to the kind, loving words of the man of God and to rouse my will to live ; and I promised her to do so. I fell into a deep sleep that night, and the most vivid dream I ever experi enced in my life crossed my slumbers. I dream pt I was in a spacious room, and that in it I rvus moved to all paris of the State, so that I met my assembled friends everywhere. I remember most distinctly of all old Beaufort, where I had hist been. It seemed there were im mense iseemblages, and as I looked down upon them a grave personage approach ed me and touched me on the shoulder and said tonic: 'These people are all praying for you. Live, live, live" I never realized anything ?ike it before. It seemed a vision. I woke the next morn ing feeling the life-blood creeping through my veins, and I told my family the crisis was passed and I would get better." At the close of the touching and thrill ing relation, feeling as deeply as our great friend seemed tr, feel, we bade him good-bye, heartily wishing a speedy recov ery and many long years of health aud usefulness. STIRRING UP THE BRITISH LION.-The following explains itself, and is publish ed to show how the British Liou bas been stirred up. It is very amusing: To thc Editor of thc New York Herald; It appears, from the virulent attacks made in a mouing contemporary, that the proposal of Cyrus \V. Field, to erect a monument to Major Audre, the British fpy, is not favorably received by the Bo-called American people. It is Biratigo that a people such as the Amer icans, who are the riffraff and descen dants of the 6cum of Europe, should ob ject to have a monument raised to the memory of a good Englishman who used nil his efforts to help the suprem acy of British power in this country. And had tho English been then suc cessful, had '-.hey subjugated the col onists, there would not bc to-day auch villany and corruption in this upstart, mush-room country. That trite old Baying, "Pu*, a beggar on horseback," &c, is applicable to the people of this country. Having obtained their inde pendence, they anger the gods by their national impudence nnd pomposity. Yours respectfully. A Britisher. HENRY F. PA ESTOS, 236 East Forty-eighth Street. Dou't Give up.

Soixii Queer Doings Connected With the Greenville A Columbia Kuilreatl. Thc following report, which was sub mitted to the last session of the legisla ture, 6hows bow the State's liability on the bonds of the Greenville and Colum bia Railroad were abused when the Rad icals were in power : The special joint committee of tho two Houses appointed under a concurrent resolution to investigate tho liability of the Slate on ita endorsements of the bonds of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company, submitted the follow ing report, which was adopted : That owing to the limited time at tho disposal of the committee from their other duties ns members of thc General Assembly, they have not been abl? to give tho matter tho thorough investiga tion which its importance demands, and which a complete examination of the whole subject would require, We find in the comptroller general's report for the fiscal year ending October 31, 1878, that the outstanding liability of the State on its endorsement of the bonds ol tho Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company ami certificates ol indebtedness amounts to $I,43G,.'M.r>.80. We also find hy the report of the treasurer of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad Com pany, December 31, 1877, that there ure outstanding as liabilities of thc company original first mortgage or "blue bonds,' past due, to the amount of $23(5,000. On examination of the various acts of thc Genend Assembly authorizing the guar antee of the State to be endorsed upon the bonds and certificates of indebtedness of thc Greenville nnd Columbia Railroad Company, we find that the original Act of June 28, 1861, entitled "An act lo lend the name and credit of thc .State to the G. and C. Railroad Company in the readjustment of their debt," provides j that the endorsement of thc State should be placed upon the bonds of the company to the amount of $900,000 for the express purpose of exchanging them for the $800,000 of original first mortgage or blue bonds of the company and funding its floatiBg indebtedness to the amount of $100.000. lt also contains the following proviso : Provided that tho bonds en dorsed as aforesaid shall not be unod by Raid company for any other purpose thau for funding thc debt of $100,000 now flue b; the company on notes and accounts, und ot taking up tho bonds of the com pany already issued and now secured by mortgage." Tho guarantee of the State to the whole amount authorized by the above act, namely, $900,000, having been placed upon the bonds of the company under the provisions of tho said act. it i?> im possible for it to have been done in ac cordance with law, and that $230,000 of the first mortgage c. Blue Bonds should Etil! remain ou ls ts .. ins. The act of Deccrr jer"20, 18GG, to niter and amend the act of June 28, 1861, bbows plainly the condition and status of the funding and exchanges of that date. It provides "that to meet tho objections that the bonds which have been hereto fore issued and endorsed under the au thority of the said act bear date after the late war, and nro entitled ' Conj'?fera''e Mates of America' the said company is hereby authorized and empowered to jssuo new bonds to be substituted for those already issued and endorsed to thc amount of $700,000, and it shall be the duty of the comptroller general from time to time as. the bond? heretofore is sued and entitled as aforesaid biu?.!i bc delivered to bim for exchange either by the company or by the holders thereof, to endorse the guaranty of the State upon new bonds upon the same terms und con ditions in every respect as is authorized by the said act, anti to exchange the new bonds thus endorsed for those heretofoie issued, until the whole, if required, shall have been substituted by a new issue." By this act it is evident that but $700 000 of bonds with the guarantee of the State upon them had been issued on the 20th day of December, 1806. This is still further shown by Section 2 of the same act, as is also the fact that they were issued for the purpose of funding thc $100,000 of floating indebtedness and ir- exchange for $1)00,000 of first mortgago or Blue bonds. Said section contains thc following : "And whenever evidence shall bo furnished the comp troller general that the said company has taken up and deposited with the treasurer $200,000 of the bonds, now secured by mortgage, in addition to those heretofore deposited with the president of the Bank of the State, he shall endorre the bonds of the company to the amount of $200, 000 more, which will complete thc en dorsement of $900,000 as provided by tho said act." Your committee would also call the at tention of the General Assembly to the fact that there aro $10,000 of the. bonds of the Greenville and Columbia Rail road Company, upon which the guaranty of the State was endorsed by Comptroller General Neagle, which are missing from the comptroller general's office, and in no .?-?BC accounted for by the records of said office. An examination of the books of the Greenville and Columbia Rail road Company shows receipts from J. D. Neagle, comptroller general, u-iderdute of February 6th, 1872, for bonds of said company to tho amount of $91,000 which were put in his possession tor the pur pose of having the endorsement ol' the State placed thereon, and being ex changed under the terms of tho acts au thorizing thc same. Of this amount but $81,000 has been accounted forby Comp troller General Nenglc. The records of the office showing that his successor, T. C. Dunn, receipted to him but for $81, 000 of said bonds, Mr. Neagle was invi ted by the committee tn nonpar before them, or submit a writ.'n statement to explain this discrepancy, but up to this time, has failed to do either. Your committee, therefore, recom mend that thc facts set forth in this re port be referred to the attorney-general, and that, ho be instructed to take such action ai tho interests of thc State may require.

Crittenden, Chairman S>-n ate Committee : SIR-- ?n answer to your verbal inquiry through Mr. Bateman, I beg leave to state that the ten thousand dollars of thc bonds of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company guaranteed by the State in my name as comptroller-general were issued by me in May, 187U, soon after the lot of eighty-two $f>00 bonds ol the company wero "placed in my hands anti long before the date of the receipt heiii by thc company bearing my sig&Ar ture. These bond* were deposited in my hands in May, 1870, but no receipt was given at the time. After Mr. Magrath became president of tlie company, I gavo Mr. Carrington a receipt for all the bond? originally deposited, when in fact, twenty of thc bonds liad already been issued nearly two years prior. I left on file in the office of tho comp troller-general complete vouchers for all the bond? of this company issued with the guaranty of the State in my name. The balance of the bonds which the company hold my receipt? for were turn ed over to the Hon. T. C. Dunn in 1875. These .bonds were not turned over to my immediate successor, because I desired to cancel the bonds and return them to the company, as they all have my signature, and, when I ceased to be comptroller? general of the State, I did not think thu bonds should bc issued with my name. This arrangement was not agreeable. Some of these bonds have been ?ince is sued with my name endorsed. Hoping this explanation will be entire ly satisfactory, 1 am, sir, very respect? fully, Your obedient servant, J. L. NEAGLE. Gen. (irani in Dublin. At tho banquet given Gen. Grant, at the Mansion House, last night, thu com pany rose and git ve the Irish welcome when the General's name was proposed. The ex-President made in response the longest speech in his life, speaking in a clear voice and being listened to with rapt attention. He referred to himself as a fellow-citizen of Dublin, and intimated, amid much laughter and cheering, that he might return to Dublin one day and run against Harrington for Mayor and Butt for Parliament. He warned those gentlemen that he was generally a trou blesome candidate. Then, passing to se rious matters, the General said : "Wo barn h*???rd some words spoken about our country--my country-before I was naturalize I in another. [Laugh ter.] We have a very great country, a prosperous country, with room fora great many people. We have been sn Hering for some years from very great oppres sion. The world has felt it. [Hear, hear !1 There is no question about the fact that when you have forty-five mil lions of consumer? such a? we are, and when they aro tundo to feel poverty, then the whole world must feel it." [Ap plause.] "You have had here great prosperity because of our great extravagance and our great misfortunes. We had a war wbiuu drew into it almost every mar. who could bear arms, and tny Iriend who spoke so eloquently to you a few mo menta ago lost a leg in it. You did not observe that, perhaps, he baa a wooden one in place of it. When that great conflict was going on we were spending one thousand million dollar? a year more than we were producing, and Europe got every dollar of it. it made tor you u false prosperity. You were getting our i bonds and our promises to pay. You I were cashing them yourselves. That made great prosperity and made pro ducers beyond the real necessities of the world at peace. But wu finally got through thal great conflict, and with au inflated currency which wa? far. below the specie you use here, it made our peo ple ut iii more extravagant. Our ?pecu lations were going on and we still con tinued to ?pend Ih-ee or four hundred millions of-money per year more thfjn we were producing. "We paid il bauk to you for your labor ami manufactures, und it made you ap parently and really prosperous. Wc, on the other hand, were getting really poor; but being honest, however, we came to the day of solid, honest payment. We carno down lo the necessity of selling more than we bought. Now we have turned the corner. We have had our days of depression ; your? is just coming on. I hope it is nearly over. [Henri heurl] Our prosperity is commencing, and as Wd become prosperous you will to<>, (applause,) because we become in- | creased consumer? of your products as well as our own. I think it ?alu to say that the United States, with a few years' more such prosperity, will consume as much more aa they did. Two distin guished men have alluded to this subject -one wa? thc President of the United States, ami he said that the prosperity of the United States would be felt to the bounds of the civilized world. [Ap plause.] The other was Lord Beacons field, the most far seeing man, Ibo one who seems to mo to see a? far into the future as any man I know, [applause,] and he says the same as President Hayes." A SOOTH BRM WILDERNESS.--A Nash ville correspondent give an interesting description of the country, in Eentreta c milty, Tennessee, and Wayne county, Kentucky, to which the revenue forces have been dispatched to unearth illicit distillers. The wilds of theso counties have never been invaded. The county is mountainous and rugged. Tho hills abound in iron and coal in enormous quantities, and are covered outwardly with forest? nnd strange plants. The wey to the ?tills is over tortuous roads, tu rough winding paths that are seem ingly nothing except bog-runs through the wilderness. Over these roads, and down deep declivities almost impassable, it i? customary with the distillers to drive little shaggy mules, with which ihcy are all provided, laden with corn or meal necessary for thc manufacture of "wildcat whisky." Tho stills are of the rudest construction. The number of men employed at each ?lill is from two to six, even eight or ten. It wa? Fen tress county which Mark Twain said resembled Nazaicth, insomuch that n> thing good came out of it. Tho villages are located on almost impassable coun try roads, far distant from railroads, and average from fifty to two hundred inhabitants. In thc most active of them the weekly mail is an event of great note. The raiders will remain in Fen tress, Wayne and adjoiniug counties for a month or more a? may bc required. They will have to encounter unheard of hardships. - Logic is logic the whole world over. It is sometimes used, however, in very queer fashion. Hero is a German-and thc Germans sri a philosophic penpie who says that be can dissipate a fog, however thick it may be, at will. All of us may not be anio to sec tho clear con nection between cause and effect but, that is certainly not his fault. When asked to explain his theory he replied: "Well, 1 will tell you. I take a dram and goes out and feeds te pig, and if to fog don't go off pretty soon I tnke anoth er tram, and den I goes out and fodder te cattle, and if te fog ain't gono by dis time I take? another tram, and den I goes out and chops wood, ..nd if te fog don't go py dis time I take another tram, and so on I keep a doin' till the fog all goes away.

A Courier reporter '.ras sent to tho fulls yesterday, and lea' ned that tb* Ice bridge became an insured fuct on Sunday last. It is really a child of the ? great BHOW storm of last week | which accounts for its uncommonly , carly formation. For some days a large ( amount of snow-covered ice from Lake | Erie has been pasing over the falls, j and about the beginning ni the pie i ni | week old inhabitants began to look ex- < pectantly for nn ice bridge, though it j was nt least a month earlier than the , usual appearance of this phenomena. < At 8 o'clock Sunday morning the accum ulated mass of ice came to a stand-still j beneath the new suspension bridge, and , tho watchers begnn to hope that there ? would be a bridge with a smooth surface ; -a thing unprecedented so far ns hiato- , ry or tradition bear record. But the ] hope was soon dispelled, for the huge , dum of ice suddenly began to heave, grind , and brenk up into fragments, with aloud < noise which ia described as being exceed- ? ingly trying to tho nerves. At 10 , o'clock there was a second stand-still and it seemed certain that tho bridge had been formed, but at two in thc after noon there was a third and moro severe disturbance, ns the imprisoned waters , exerted their giant strength in an effort' i to bo free. Tho battle was a grand ono. Vast quantities of ice and snow were caught , in the water's arms, and tossed bil'"ir i and thither like playthings, fighting ."jd struggling with one another, and grinding themselves to fragments in tho fierce engagement. Great hummocks, weigh ing hundreds of tons, were pushed into the , air, and remained there as monuments of tho fearful battle Largo bowliisrs were torn from the shore, and swept into i the stream, and the solitary fir which was wont to mark the landing placo of the ferry became a victim of tito warring ' elements, though ordinarily it stands three i feet abovo high water. Tho slow; awful ( strength of the infuriated waters was BO I apparent that it seemed as if they must | rend tho great gorge in twain and escape , from their thraldom by some new road; | but there waa only ono gnte-way open for them, and as they could not break tho mile wide dam in two, they lifted ? it up bodily and ewept nwny beneath, still raging, but completely conquered by the Frost King. Having thus suc cumbed to this inevitable humiliation thc water allowed ice to rest above it, accepting the yoke which it could not break despite its 1 casted strength. Aud now the victor rests quietly-tom aud rugged, it is true, but invincible; and sn it will remain until tho mightier beams of the spring bun deprive ii of ito strength and once more restore Niagara to its accustomed freedom. The bridge i j nearly a mile in length, extending , from ii lino drawn perpendicuiariy io Point Lookout, in tho American Park, halfway to the railroad bridge, and fill ing tho gorge from shore to shore. The ice mountain is still in its com parative infancy, but if tho wind and mercury are favorable lt will soon be in a condition to form a coasting hill for the people, as it did during the winter of 1878. The great ice bridge itself is ? counterpart in miniare e ol the Alpine glacier, and fully as interesting ns if ten days of sea sickness were a necessary pre liminary to seeing it. You have tho rough, broken surface, the hummocks reaching ten, fifteen, twenty feet into tho air, the starting fissures, gaping, perhaps, with a depth of thirty feet in the solid ice, and you have the pure snow ice itself in a million strange and inexplicable shapes; but there is an association of terror in this place which does not belong to the genuine glacier, and which may come from the muffled roar of the waterfall ; perchance the , thought of 200 feet of water seething and boiling beneath vourfeet. Many of our renders have stood on the bank beside tho Whirlpool Bupids, and seen the wr. ful waters mount upward toward thc sky in a thousand contending cur rents as they battle to escape from their prisoning walls. Imagine this agitated surface suddenly becoming petrified, and every broken wave halting just where it was, and this will give an idea of the ice bridge. Figures ure poor make shifts for assisting the imagination to work, but they will perhaps assi-t a little in giving au idea of the magnitude of this structure. In thickness it is probably sixty feet, while the surface of the ice is at leost hall that distance from the water.1 There nro crevices twenty-five feet- in depth, and yet they show no sings of water. Aa we have said before, tho sur face of the ice bridge or (ice field, for it is really that), is exceedingly rough, und tho work of crossing is very fa tiguing. Beforo lung, however, a road wnl he constructed from the American to thc Canadian shore, and it will be quite an easy matter lo cross. The first man who crossed the b-' Ige was Mr. Tom Conroy, tho well known guide, who saved a man from the rap ids a year or two ago. As Mr. Conroy weighs about 200 pounds, he demonstrated io the satisfaction of the good folks of Niagara the entire safety of the bridge for purposes of locomotion. Those who doubt its safety nre nt liberty to attempt the breaking of its sixty foet of solid ice.-JJuJJ'alo Courier. A NOTABLE WEDDING.--The marriage of Kate A. Smith, Mrs. A. T.

Thc altar was tastefully buried in flowers, and thc bride's diamonds and pearls glis tened on ber white satin costume, which was itself enveloped by rich Brussels lace. The bridal presents were numer ous and costly, tho most magnificent be ing thc diamond necklace from Mrs. A. T.

THE MAN ON HORSEBACK. Grant Said to bc ? Necessity to the Republi can Fart/. Special Dispatch to the A'. Y. Herald. A prominent Republican politician, who has the means to bo very thorough Iv informed of the thoughts and inten tions of the leading men of his party,. remarked, in conversation in Washington ni tlie 0th instant, that Gen. Grant will lie nominated in 1880, not only because be can most easily carry the convention, but because be is a necessity to the party. 'Wcaeo very clearly that tho next elec tion is very uncertain," he.said ; "we may not be able to elect any man, but we cer tainly cannot elect any one except Grant, lie 1ms the confidence of the wealthy and property owning classes at the hortb, md with bim as candidate we can raise funds more easily than with any one ?lse. Moreover, either Blnino or Conkling iron M h?:vo to encounter the hostility or lukewarm support of h:s rival, and we cannot afford tb risk anything. Another consideration which bas some weight is lhat in caso of a contested election we should bo certain that Grant would not Buffer himself to be cheated. If we elect him he will go iuto the White House. Whether wc can elect bim is, in my judgment, by no means certain. It de pends not nt all on the Republicans but un the Dem?crata, if they make fools of themselves, ns I have little doubt they will, wo shall have tho country with us for Grant, because even tho anti-Grant men in our party will vote for bim rallier than incur tue rink of any wild Commu nistic regime which would make property insecure and capital valueless, because it would cripple enterprise. ' If the Demo crats insist on keeping the currency " Iueslion* olive and nominate a man like 'burmun or Hendricks, you will eco that the properly of the country will rally solidly for Grant, and you know even Thurman admits that property and intel ligence must rule and can carry elections. The next election depends entirely on the Democ-.atic party, nnd the chances jf ita acting sb sensibly and manifesting io conservative n spirit nato win the con Odenceof the country you know os much ."mut as I. They may once moro, as they tit.vc so often done, give tho country a fright and disgust that will lead it rightly, as 1 think, to tiing itself into tho arms of Grunt as a means of security, because property means civilization. The Dem ocrats have but few men who could carry the country against Grant. I can tbl.-ik of .only tbree^ Bayard, General Hancock nnd Randolph, of New Jersey. With either of these they can win, in my judc ment, and I don't know of any one clod they nave. These three have all clean records on currency and all other ques tions. They are thoroughly respectable and would, have tho confidence of the country sufficiently to carry off from na the considerable number Of men who strongly dislike Grant and who will not vote for him if they can help it. But tbs Democratic party is only a. mob ; it has not brains enough to go straight, and that is our main chance." The Contest roi* Senator Sutler's Seat. WA6III2*GTON, January 9. Senator Sharon, of Nevada, arrived here to-night, his first' appearance in Washington for nearly two. years. He will be on band in the Senato chamber to-morfow. It is understood that the purpose of the Republican Senators is now, nt the first auspicious opportunity, to reopen tho Butler-Corbin'case. Tho report of the majority of the committee on privileges and elections, declaring Corbin entitled .to the seat, bas been ready for some time, and potion will bo called for on it. When Mr. Butler was admitted as Senator from South Carolina, with Senators, Conover and Patterson both voting for bim, he bad but ono ma* iority. If tho case is brought up now. Mr. Sharon's vote against Mr. Butler will make it a tie, and tho casting volo of Vice-Presideui. Wheeler will give tho scat to Mr. Corbin. This is the Repub lican calculation, but it is possible that the calculation may be at fault. On the occasion of-Mr. Butler's admis Hion to thc Senate, Judg- I/avis, of Illi nois, did not vote at all, for tho reason that he bad doubts as to the legality of Mr. Butler's election, although some of the friends of tho latter asserted tbat Judge Davis's vote in his favor . .wild bo forthcomiai if necessary. If this state ment was "correct perhaps tho voto of Judge Davis can be counted on by Mr. Butler at this .time, which would still give bim ono majority. It is true that there were quite a number bf Democratic Senators who entertained the same doubts as Judge Davis, and who thought tho South Curoliua Legislature ought to go into a new election for Senator, but ns they walked manfully : p to the scratch then, of course they will do so a second time. This doubt as to the legality of - Mr. Butler's election was shared also by members of the South Carolina Legisla ture, in Columbia, in April, 2877, after President Hayes had recognized the Hampton Government. Members of the Legislature were then debating tho pro priety of having a new election for Sena tor, aud it was said that one of the main causes which dissuaded them was a dis tinct intimation from Governor Hamp ton that he would give tho certificate of ?lection to M>\ Butler- sod tn no one oise. However, Mr. Butler ts in the Heat, and the probability is that ho will stay th ero if Patterson and Conover both stick. The casting vote of tho Vice-president would, it is extremely probable, bo dis regarded by tlic Sennte after it becomes Democratic on the 4th of March, as the' ground wa? taken that the Vice-Prcsi ucnt's constitutional prerogative gave him no right to vote on tho question of the admission of a Senator. Mr. Eaton gave formal not? J that on .1 . ..I .rxr.w.t.- . n~.r\ %. . ~_% i "._ IUD lui Ul AH fi i v, ii, mi ?, na nuuiu uiuic to declare any seat vacant the occupant of which had been admitted by the vote of tho vice-President. The only hope, therefore, it would seem, that tho Repub licans can entertain of getting Corbin in ia to seduce either Conover or Patterson from the Butler side. If they can do this, tlie victory will ''a theirs. Thero are rumors that Mr. Conover is dissatis fied and mad with the J emocrats because they would not k . him come io tho House of Representa'' es from Florida, but, as his support of Butler bas always . been understood to he duo solely to per sonal reasons, this moy make no differ ence. As to Mr. Patterson's coarse, thero are curious stories afloat in Democratic circles to-night to the effect that Patter* son, at the-time Butler was admitted, would bavo succumbed to the pressure and obliquy heaped upon bim, and de ficrted Butler, had be not been held up .by tho hand of Don Cameron ; that Don Cameron, on account of personal friend ship and other reasons, wanted Butler admitted, but of course, for reasons of policy, could not g-ivo his s eta vote to bim.- Strange as this may seem, it is be lieved to be true, and it is really not so .wonderful %a many things which con stantly occur here.- Tc'cgrom io tAs fiat ti more San. ^ ^ ? - Tampa, Florida, has watermelons and tomatoes in tho market, and Jack-' senville bas ice half an inch thick on tho MMfth
