Last week the proceedings of the Leg? islature through Tuesday were given in these columns. Beginning with Wed? nesday following the first business of tho House was the appointment by the Speaker of a Committte, consisting of one member from each County, to Which all prohibition bills were referred. Mr. Watson was the member from Anderson selected. A half dozen bills were put into the hands of this Committee, and they proposed nearly as many different ways for dealing with tho subject. Now bills were introduced, as follows: To strike out the section of the Constitu ! tlon providing for School Commissioners; to prohibit railroads charging moro than 3 cents a mile for carrying passengers; to submit the question of prohibition or ;; no prohibition to tho people on the third Tuesday in August next; to repeal the law prohibiting State officers from using : free passes; to appropriate school funds in.proportion to the assessed value of tho taxable property. In the Senate the Confederate Homo bHi" was favorably reported for passage. Senator Hemphill's prohibition bill was adversely reported. A salary reduction bill was favorably reported. On Thursday the bill restricting the ; right of dower was defeated. A bill reg? ulating the hours of work in railway shops, machine shops and founderies was introduced; a bill requiring a license and a license fee for keeping dogs was placed on the calendar. Mr. Watson has introduced a bill to make , certain changes in some of the Congressional Distriot3. A bill looking ' to the extension of the State bonds falling due next July was put on the calendar, but received an unfavorable report. -The Senate passed the bill np prop dat? ing 150,000 to Clomson College. A County government bill was introduced in .this body, and is about the same that was introduced last year. -. Tho marriage license bill has made its annual appearance. Mr. Pearman has introduced a Joint Resolution urging our Representatives in Congress to vote for free coinage. Mr. Breazeale's bill regulating chattel mortgages passed a third reading with an amendment by himself. A bill reducing the fee for dieting prisoners to 20 cents a day got the House badly "rattled" and ^they adjourned. In the Senate, as in the House, a bill was introduced instructing the Attorney General to institute proceedings in the Port Royal and Augusta Railroad case as recommended by the Governor. Senater Glenn introduced a bill to prevent clubs from receiving or disposing of liquor* without license. In tho House a bill providing for the Australian ballot system for this State was introduced. The House by a largo majority has passed to a third reading the Jolnt Reso? lution for calling for a Constitutional Con? vention. The resolution provides that the question shall be submitted to the .voters at the next general election for their decision. The Committee on the prohibition bills hss deoided to hand in a majority und a minority report. The majority report >mmends the passage of a bill pro? fiting the manufacture and salo of rhiskey. The minority report recom? mends that the mattor be submitted to io people in August next. On Saturday little was done. The Senate had taken a recess until Tuesday id many of tho members of the House had gotten leave of absence. The mem? bers wanted to be at home on Salesday. -In the House a bill was introduced to ' make capital executions public. Another railroad bill was introduced. It provides that the Commissioners shall bo elected by the people and shall receive a salary of 12100 each, to be paid by the railroads. bill to pay members cf the Boards of Equilization ?2 per day was introduced. Wednesday of this week was set for hearing the dlecussien on prohibition. On Monday little busin sea was done in the House owing to absence of mem? bers. The following new bills were han led in: To prevent the librarian and re? nter of the Supreme Court from prac Icing as attorneys before that Court; to reduce the fees of the Clerks of Court; to >revent the marriage of males under IS years of age and females under lb* with? out the written consent of their parents or guardians; to prohibit bathing in a nude condition near any public highway. The Judiciary Committee of the House met Monday night to discuss tho Ashley bill for limiting hours of labor in facto? ries.' ? The mills hL.l representatives pres? ent who argued convincingly against the measure. Representative Blease and Dr. Pope indulged in much clap-trap in favor of. the bill. It was finally agreed to fix the hours at 11 per day instead c? 10, with theprovlsion that .110 extra hours may be required per year for the loss of time. savh tub moves. We are very glad to I nd the condition of the- cotton planter greatly improved from the increased price of cotton, but what is of still greater importance for all interests considered, we believe to be the added sources of profit which the cotton planted has secved within the last few I years. The expression is very pertinent j that neither blessings nor misfortanes i come singly. Coming so soon after the' general utilization of cottonseed, we now find that the motes which have been pre? viously considered as absolute waste, can j be utilized to great advantage. From reports which have reached us we infer that thero are 15 pounds or more of motes to each bale of cotton, and these , motes having been formerly considered | as absolute waste, any advantage or in como that may be derived from them Is so much absolute gain to the planter or ginnor, or both. The Textile Manufacturing World says that a machine has new been perfected for ginning motes whereby they are ren? dered of value, and as it is fair to assume that there must be from 100,000.000 to 150,000,000 pounds of these motes produc? ed with this year's cotton crop, it will be see* that such an immense quantity, if carefully and persistently saved, will add r very largely to tho total income from the cotton crop. It is desirable to keep thesn reasonably dry, and this, as we under? stand, is the only practical reqaisite, as they can be baled in any old or low grade packing, and in fact, the Highland Mfg. Co., of Memphis, Tenn., will furnish packing of this variety at actual cost to those who collect tho motes for sbipmonc to them. We understand that, realizing the mag? nitude of this added sourco of income to the cotton planter, and also the desira? bility of saving all the motes pos?ble, arrangements can bo mado for the pur? chase of this machine for a certain terri? tory, or that the Highland Mfg. Co. will purchase the motes, or in fact, asake any arrangement whereby the saving of the . motes can be secured at mutual advan? tage to all parties interested. The added money received from this source alone ought to be sufficient to build several cotton mills each year, and In, manufacturing the present statoof competition is such that tho saving of waste constitutes in many instaaces tnoro than tho total profit of tho operation. In the raising of cotton the saving of the seed, added to the present possibility of saving the motes, allows a comparatively low and otherwise unprofitable price for the staple added to these othor sources of income to make on the wholo a profitable industry. On the general principle ?f wishing every soctien of our common coumtry success, it is always ploaeaatto see any leaks stopped or any waste material utilized, which adds to the general wel? fare, and we hope tho Southorn papers will give warning to their readers that in wasting the motes they are wasting money. The vacant Kansas senatorship seems to lie botwoea Jerry Simpson, Mrs. Lease and some other man. A Scotch engineer is said to have solv? ed the problem of making tho mill run with the wator that has passed. It is reported by a Glasgow paper that a resi? dent engineer has devised nn arrange? ment by which all tho steam used by an engine is returned to tho boiUr. As a result it is said that as much energy can be gotten out of one ton of cool as is now secured by tho consumption of soven tons. It is believad that Mr. Cleveland ia going to be more aggressive than he was before, and that be will insist upon his tariff-reform idea being carried out until the tariff is adjusted on a purely revenue basis. It is also believed that ho will be mere partisan in his appointments than he was before, and that he will endeavor to conduct his administration thoroughly in accord with the Democracy and its leaders. So mote it be. The career of Jehn Hoey, who died re? cently in New York, shows the possibili? ties which may bo reached from a humblo beginning. John Hooy was first a news? boy on the streets of Now York, then messenger for the Adams Express Com? pany. He was attentive and thorough and through all the gradations ho passed until no became president of tho concorn. Whilo it is true that Mr. Hooy retired from his post sometimo since under a cloud it is also true that ho had many friends who believed him guiltless of wrong-doing or at least as only venially guilty. A 1109 LAW, A COW LAW. A Sheap Law, A. Hon? Law, aad do Dog Law. Editors Intelligencer : The laws of South Carolina provides for the recovery of damages com mi tied by all our domes? tic animals except the dog, whether the owner of such animal be of standard responsibility or not; and recent decis? ions of the Courts have added our poultry to the Hat, and the "poor dog" has been left out in the cold. Why is this? Is the whole race of dogs so insignificantly small and worthless? Good authority states that our dogs out number our sheep and hogs combined, and all owners of good dogs rate their value as high, upon an average, as sheep and hogs are held. I, for one, have always had a place for good dogs on the farm and am willing to pay all damages that they may commit upon my neighbors' property, and only desire a law that will require all other owners of dogs to do the same, and to keep them at their own expense. If a trifling, lazy, thriftless negro, or "hood? lum" white man, living in the suburbs of town or other place, does not feed his cow or hog it will naturally starve and die ; but his dog will not, He will climb over, dig under, or go through the small? est crack, in or out at the gate, or broken window pane. He will stand at ths cor? ner and wait, or go ten miles around to some hca's nest, slop tub or sheep pas? ture, or corn field?he cannot be starved out; he will have his living at some one's expense, and the law should provide a dog fund to pay his board bill, or kill such dogs as are considered a roving nuisance. Seme good citizens advocate and practice promiscuous slaughtering with the shoe gun or poison, as ? wo have no law to reach such cases and no way to collect damages for such depredations; but I trust that our law makers will agree that our growth in civilization has now advanced beyond the age when the shot gun and poison should bs the only resort to defend our property. We farm era pay our proportion of taxes which go to pay the expenses of our Courts anoT govern? ment, and it is but fair that the irrespon? sible dog-owner and his dog be looked after by the law the Bame as other ani? mals are, and not force the otherwise law abiding citizen to splioe out the laws of our State with his shot gnn or poison. Let's have no privileged characters among us, neither rich or poor, high or low peo? ple, or spotted dogs or "yafler" dogs. Unjust discriminations and partial administration of our laws are no doubt at the bottom of a large proportion of our neighborhood feuds and law suits. Where the dog law is good outside of tho aheap-fold: A farmer boasted that he had kept aheep sixteen years and never lost a sheep, woke up one morning and found his whole flock killed by doge in a single night. He and his friend killed nine dogs the noxt day before noon, and he got shot in the leg himself, besides shooting through a man's hat in a fuss over a dog; made about a dozen life time enemies among his neighbors, got into a law suit with two prongs to it ?all in one day. His sheep aro all gone and his spirit and courage in this enter rise, along with tho pecuniary loss of iahard earnings, went with it; but his enemies still stay. Now, if we had a dog fuud to pay suoh damagea?or in other words a law to defend and protect this class of property ?this man, no doubt, would have gone quietly to the authorities, collected the damage:;, and went about his busiuess; and could afforded to have retained bis reputation as .a law-abiding and peaceable citizen?while our paid servants of the State, who are sworn to administer the Law in equity to all men aad to preserve peace among men, take obarge of this case. Let a poor, hungry negro or white man kill a sheep or rob a hen's nest and the law will hunt him down with guns and pistels, while the roving, mongrel dog that commits the same act escapes ontside of the law, How much better can a dog bs than his owner! If your cow, hog, horse or sheep get over in your neighbor's grain field, the animal may be held and sold to pay the damages; but his dog may come over to your yard, rob every hen's nest in it, dig under the dairy, turn over and destroy all its contents, eat roasting ears all the seasoa, or kill your sheep, and you have practically no redross, if his owner has not a property-value above the home? stead. J. C. Stridlixq. Lynsh tho Murderer! Raleigh, Dee. 2.?A special to the State Chronicle from Sanford says : News has just been received by a special messenger of tho most terrible tragedy known in the history of Moore County, which happened in Pockett township, about fifteen mileu distant from Sanford. Randall McDonald, agod about seventy years, and two sisters, age seventy-five and eighty-three years, all unmarried, resided together. Last night about 7 j e'clock some one knocked at their door. Mr. McDonald opened it, and an un ! known man entered, and made for a gun i standing in some part of tho room, at the same time drawing a pistol from his pocket. He picked up the gun and de? manded their money, and deliberately shot dead the older of the two Bisters with tho pistol, tho ball entering the forehead just over tho eye. Ho then shot tho younger one. tho ball entering through the noso auu passing out through tho back of the head. She fell with her head in the fire, calling on the assassin to save her from the fire, which he refused to do, her bonnet and her hair being burned. She will die. The assassin then robbed Mr. MoDonald of a few dollars ho had on his person, and made his escape before alarm could be made or help come, taking tho gun with him. He was thought to be | a negro. Diligent no arch is being made for the wretch, and he will not faro well when found. The people aro crying ??Lynch tho murderer I" and it will be | done if he is caught. ? A startling proposition, backed up j by confident prophecy, is disoussed by ! Dr. H. Mehner in the columns of a Ber? lin paper. Dr. Mehner learnedly dis? cusses the question of driving a tunnel through the earth from Berlin to Chica? go, through which and by means of grav? itation alone the journey between tho two places could be quickly and comfortably mado. Ho expresses a decided opin? ion that tho schemo is physically possi? ble. I A Survey of the Field. Columbia State, Dec. 5th. News and even gossip were scares articles in Columbia yesterday, and the serenity of the quiet Sabbath was rarely di?ecrated with decussions of legislative projects, freaks and foibles. "Off After" apponded to the names of solona of all ages on the hotel registers told tha tale of their departure. Senator John Gary Evans was occa? sionally visible about the Jeromo, whoro he is domiciled, as was also Speaker Ira B. Jonea. Tho two were the only con? spicuous leaders of tho reform movement left to keep watch and ward over the capital. This, tho third week of tho session, is apt to bo crowdod with interesting events. Wednesday the fun will begin in both House*. In tho Souato t hat day has been fixed for the great labor agitation?in other words, the consideration of Senator Finloy's bill for the reduction of salories. The measure is almost suro to pass but it will havo changed beyond recognition by tho time the final voto is reached. It will be romombored that about half the Senators gave notice of geueral amend? ments, tbo bill having already passed tho second reading, which means that all these gontlemen have in mind some par? ticular wherein thoy think it defective. Tho general result will be that tho aver? age reduction of tho salaries will be much lower than is contemplated in tho bill. For 12:15 o'clock of tho same day the bill providing for a home for indigent Confederate veterans has been made tho Bpeoial order. Wednesday in tho Houso will seo the battlo pitched on the all-important ques? tion of prohibition, it being tho spocial order immediately after "third reading bills." It is going to be a hard, persis? tent light, from start to finish. It is now said that six or seven members of tho special committee of thirty-fivo who did not sign tho minority report, are yet not in fa vor of the Roper bill and amend? ments as reported. Mr. Nottles, the Clarendon member, is said to bo strenu? ously opposed to this bill, although he has long been a prohibition leader of the most pronounced type. It may be that he will have a very considerable follow? ing, and when the alternative is presented to Iiis people of accepting the Roper bill or o.f shifting the whole matter onoo again upon tho voters of the Stato, as is provided in the minority report brought in by Sullivan and others, what course thoy will pursue is a matter of mcro guess work. If no further compromise is agreed upon and these gontlomon can? not bring themselves to voto for a meas? ure to which they aro conscientiously opposed tho success of prohibition is very far from being assured. There is now somo possibility that tho County government scheme will bo deferrod for another year by being placed in the hands of a special committeo to bo considered, like the Australian ballot, in the recess between this and the next ses? sion. Some of the members doubtless appre? ciate that Senator Evan's measure in? volves very grave matters of both priu - ciple and practice and aro not disposed to rush it into t he statute books until it has been perfected by mature study. Such a sentiment certainly exists but its present strength is an unknown quantity. While theLowrance Haskell proposi? tion has beon thrust back into the House, burdened with au unfavorable comml'tee report, now that it has been oxplained by Col. Haskell, the sound suggestion it contains and the strong common sense behind it may become more potent to the Legislators. If some Reformer thinks he has "something better" and puts a reform tag upon it Col. Haskeli's plan will fall very flat. But the refundment problem is one that must be solved, because the credit and solvency of the State hangs npon it. It Is altogether unlikely that anybody else has devised a means to meet the crisis, olso it would have come to light long ago. Who can divine any motive for keeping such a light under a bushel?" It may be therefore that Col. Haskeli's reasoning may yet find favor in the eyes of tho Tillmaniten. The "Greenville idea" of County courts and a multiplicity of judges and prose? cuting officers is dead and about forgot? ten. In the same way tho brilliant pro? posal to elect four or five judges aud an associate justice at this session has also been dropped, nnless it is lurking some? where and waiting for an opportunity to come Jn again in the hopo of a more cor? dial reception. There is some chat, though, among tho Tillmanltcs about Judge McGowan's successor, aad tho names most mentioned aro thoso of Speaker Jones and Lieutenant Governor Gary. Since the elevation of the Lieu? tenant Govornor's brother to the circuit bonch tho prospects of Mr. Jones have a decidedly brighter look?in fact, they outshine thoso of tho other mcu. But this election is a long way off, aud strange things may happen Tn a twelve-mouth. The Wild Woman of Texas. J. T. Martin, a voung farmer living in the Rhea neighborhood, this county, yesterday had an exciting encounter with the mysterious wild woman who has been terrorizing the people in tho vicinity of Georgetown, Tex., for the past throe weeks, Bays the Cincinnati Enquirer. Martin lives in the San Gabriel River bottoms, and last evening after a day's labor in his cotton field, started home? ward. He was crossing a stretch of dense woodland near the river when he sudden? ly came upon the sirango creature who had so stirred up hit com? munity. Tho woman was entirely nude, and was down on all fourB greedily de? vouring the tender grass and cactus buds. Martin watched her from behind a clump of bushes for a fow minutes and finally decided to attempt her capture. He bad a stout twine string in his pocket with which heoxpected to bind hor hands securely. Having laid his plane he crept stealthily behind the woman aud made n spring and grabbed her by the foot. Tho wild creature, upon being takon b}' sur? prise, weut into a terrible ragoand fought like a demon. According to Martin's story tho battlo was a tornblo one whilo it lasted. He was bore to-day and bears deep wounds on his face and arms which ho claims were caused by tho woman's teeth and finger nails. She made no out? cry during tho encounter, and after free? ing herself sbo darted into tho thick un? derbrush. Martin's description of tho strango vo-1 man tallies with that given by the various ! reliable citizens of this place who saw her in the same neighborhood lest week. She is of splendid form, about nineteen years of age, and has long raven black hair, which is badly matted and tangled giving her a weird appearance. There aro a number of snacions caverns along the San Gabriel river, and it is believed that iho woman makes her homo in one of these. When seen by William Sellers and another boy last Saturday sbo was in tho woods feeding on grass. The peo? ple here are greatly excited over the woman. There is no young girl missing in this county, and whence this strange wild woman came is a mystery. A force of men Is being organized in the neigh? borhood to hunt her down and place her in the insano asylum, lie Played Squirrel. GREBJiUP, Ky., Nov. 30th.?Thomas Odell.a young man, of twenty-two years, living seven miles back of town has beon a puzzle to physicians for several yoars. Ho was affected by what ho ate to such an extent that when ho indulged in beof eating, about au hour afterward bo would become restless and waudor in search of cattle and bellow as an ox, and would get down on his hands and kuees and eat grass like a cow. When he partook of mutton his aclionB wore those of a sheop, and he would plaintively bleat like a lamb. When ho ate chicken ho would go out and scratch for worms, which he would devour with apparent relish. After eating fish he would wan? der to the creek aud go in swimming. Yesterday his father killed several squir? rels, of which tho son ate heartily for dianor. Ho loft tho house shortly after, and was followed by tho father. Tho father saw him ontor an oak grove, and soon saw his son jumping from limb to limb, at tho same lime barking liko a squirrel. He called for him lo come down, but this only scorned to mako the boy want to escape, aud he attemptod to jump from one troo to another, but miss od and foil to tho ground, a mangled, j breathless mass of humanity, and ex I pirod in loss than five minutes. ? By tho law of Missouri a third con? viction for larceny carries with it impris? onment for life. ? From 1791 to 1S00, when warfaro was almost continuous, 2,OSO,000 Frenchmen wero Buocessively called undor arms. i In 1800 only 677,508 romaiuod. In teu years nearly 1,400,000 soldiers had disap? peared. Aud this was only tho Ropuu llo's share. That of the Consulate and Empire far surpassed it. Napoleon's consumption of men is estimated at 2,000,000 by tho most modorato statisti ; oians, and at 8,000,000 by M. Riehot in [ his most careful estimate. Broca and i Thiers admit the less of a million of Frenchmen, tho rest belonging, accord? ing to them, to the allies incorporated in I tho Fronch armies. But tho total remains tho same.

In tho languago of Gon. ; Foy: "A man onterod tho military ser I vice at that limo never to get out of it I alive." i The Death of Jar Gould, 2s?w York, Doc. 2.?Mr. Jay Gould, the great financior, died this morning nt 0.15 o'clock. Tho news Ayas not mado known to those outsldo tho houso of the millionaire for a half hour after the event. The first authentic and verbal news of the ovent camo from tho colored butler, who camo to the door and in response to a question, said in a choking voice, "Yea, Mr. Gould is dead." Mr. Gould died surrouuded bv the members of bis family and faithful physicians. All day yosterday and in the evening contradictory reports wero circulated regarding bit eouditiou, but late in tho evening it was acknowledged that ho was failing fast and iu nil proba? bility he would not rocover. In fact at 11 o'clock it was said that he could not live the night out. However, ?I 1 o'clock this morning he seemed to rally somewhat and tho lights wore turned down and the family rotired to gst some reef. Dr. Munn and tko nurses remained with the patient. At daylight Mr. Gould's condi? tion bocame much moie alarming and gradually the mom hers of his family again assembled nt his bsdeldo. It w?s apparent to nil thnt the end wee fast ap? proaching. Mr. Gould seemed to reallzo the truth himself. No pain attended tho last mo? menta of tho dying man. The end came peacefully aud quietly. Just before he died, Mr. Gould, realizing that he had but a littlo time to live, expressed a de? sire to woo tho members of his family that ho might look upon them for tho lnst time. Ho was perfectly conscious and ouiiroly composed, meeting tho end with calm? ness. His mind was clear to tho last as was demonstrated by tho fact that he missed the ineo of a member of tho family who bad loft the room for n mo? ment. Mr. Gould's last words were in the form of a request that ho might, at tho closing moments of his life, be surround? ed by tho beloved members of bis fami? ly. The mombers of tho family nsseuiblod at tho bedside of Mr. Gould when death laid its hand upon hira, included Mr. and Mrs. George Gould, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Gould, Miss Helen Gould, Mr. Howard Gould and Miss Anna Gould. The sorvaute wore assembled nenr by and wore informed of tho death of their master immediatoly after the occurrence. The physicians have not yet stated def? initely what was tho nnturo of Mr. Gould's illness, but it was generally be? lieved it was pulmonary consumption. Itissnid that Mr. Gould had several hemorrhages of tho lungs recently, the first having been tho day before Thanks? giving, and another a few days Inter and still auothor a fow days ago. "Whether or not the pulmonary dise.iso mado tho np pearanco recently is not known positivo 13', but it is said that his family have long been aware of the fact that Mr* Gould was a victim of the disease. Ho bare his suffering bravoly and was grateful for all that was done for him. Tho funeral of Mr. Gould will be held Monday. Tho services will bo very sim? ple and unosteatatious in accordance with the wishes expressed by the deceas? ed. The services will bo held at the fam? ily mansion and will be conducted by Dr. John R. Paxton, assisted bv Chan? cellor McCrackeu aud Rev. Mr. Roderick Terry. The interment will be at Irving ton cu the Hudson, where tho body of Mrs. Gould rcposcj. Dr. Paxton camo from the house at 11.30 o'clock and to tho United Press reporter said that Mr. Gould was unconscious for some time preceding his death, but that a few min? utes before the end came bo was perfectly conscious. It was at that time that tho sick man requested that the mem here of his family be called to hi* bedside, that he might see them for tho last time. This was done and tho dying man, having spoken a few words, peacefully passed away, Tho real condition of Mr. Gould's health was not realized until a year ago, when ho broke down in tho fnmous Mis? souri Pacific mooting. This occurred in Novombor, 1S91. The Missouri Pacific Rnilroad was Mr. Gould's pride. He had built it up and had made It a dividend paying rond. He was very jealous of the reputatiou the Vanderbilts' roads enjoy? ed and always pointed to tho Missouri Pacific when ho was charged with being a railroad wrecker and nutr. railroad build? er. The Gould boys, at the lime, were re? ported to be heavily "short *f tho mar? ket. A gre*t bull movement, based on tho enormouo crops of the year, was in progress. The directors of the Missouri Pacific met, and both Mr. Gould and his son George favored a passing of the divi? dend. According to tho rcport3 nt the tinio, Russell Sage, who was "lone" of the mar? ket, was violently opposed to the move. S. ?S. Sloan, tho conservative president of tho Delnwnre, Lackawannn and Western Railrond and also a director of tho Mis? souri Pacific, wns also opposed to tho step. The debate between Georgo Gould and Russell Sage grow to a boated alterca? tion. ' Jay Gould broke down, and, it is said, nctuallv wept. Ho fainted away, aud showed that his constitution was broken. Last summer Mr. Gould ngain broke down at a directors' meeting. Ho was said to bo a consumptive. He moved and acted like a man eighty years old, bent with age. The family honed that ho would recov? er, but the attack of last Wednesday dis? sipated all such hopes. Jay Gould was born in Roxbury, Dela? ware County, N. Y., May 27, 1830. His early years wore spout on bis father's farm and at the age of 14 he entered Ho bart Academy and kopt the books of tho village blnckemith. lie acquired a taste for surveying aud from this work, when young, ho accumulated f*,000. When but twenty years old he engaged iu the tanning aud* lumber business. Ho con? tinued in thoso enterprises until 1857, whenhosold out and removed to this city and established himself as a brokor at onco and invested heavily in Erio Railroad stock. He entered the directory of that company j.nd became president, holding tho office until tho reorganiza? tion of tho directory in 1872. He next mado large purchases of the stock of various railroads and also inves? ted deoply in the telegraph stock. In Decomber, 1S80, official records showed that Mr. Gould was in control ot 10,000 miles of railroads, or more than ono uinth of the ontire mileage of the coun? try. Later Mr. Gould purchased a con? trolling interest iu the St. Louis aad San Francisco Railroad Com pah}', which has an aggregate mileago of nearly 900 mile.", and is a joint owner, with tho Atchiaon, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad of tho Atlantic and Pacific Companies. Of Mr. Gould's career since ho began to operate in Wall street, columns might bo written, wero the story not pretty well known to tho public. The speculations in L'rie, the '^black Friday" and other episodes are familiar to most New Yorkers and have been often retold. Suffice it to say that from the time ho went into Wall street Mr. Gould forged straight ahead; there was no going back and but little standing still. Lino after line of railroad fell under the control of this nsan whom othor financiers called the Wizard of Wall street, until thous? ands upon thousands of miles of road were to all Intents and purposes his owu, With a slnglo move in the stock market j ho oould oU'ect financial mattors not only I in every city in this country, but in Lon? don, Paris and Vienna, as woll. He j turned bis attention to tho telegraphic system of the country and did not rest until ho had a monopoly and controlled the Atlantic cables as woll. Mr. Gould married when ho was n young man and was always domostic in his habits. Ho dearly loyed his fam? ily aad homo more than moo do to-day. He carod nothing for Bociety aud paid j lit'.to ntteutiou to it. Like most other business men ho ceuld not be his own almoner, as ho said, and while his wifo was alive oho distrlubted his money for him aud did it with a free hand, as many knoT'. Nor was Mr. Gould what some peoplo call a religions man, but ho was as religious as most of his neighbors. For years he kopt a pew in a local Episcopal Church. Such are tho main points in a character ofouooftho most remarkable men, in some respects, of his time. Ho was never robust, except as to will and brains. Alone and unaided ho accumulated a vast fortune which passes iuto the hands of his children. No man was more sim? ple iu life or habits. He often said that ho could never dissipato even if ho want? ed to, for ho was so constituted physically that ho could not uso tobacco or take In? toxicating liquors. Ho has boon moder? ate in all things that ho ate or drank, even in his most active days, when ho was constantly at his office. He would tako but a light breakfast consisting mainly of eggs aud rolls.

Yet, ho had no particular prejudice against the press, al? though ho had sometimes aaid ho had long boon tho most abusod man in the country. No two estimates agree as to the amount of Mr. Gould's fortune. Tho mostconsorvalivo figures place it at about $G0,000,??0 whilo some peoplo in Wall street, who think thoy know something about his accumulations, figure that ho must hnve gotten togethor fully 1190,000, 000. ?

Washington, December*.?Reprosen lativo Bravrloy was tho first member of tho South Carolina delegation to arrive in Washington. Ho has ?partmont? at tho Metropolitan Club cbnmbors, where ho wm located during the last session of Congress. I mel him at the Capitol hhortly after his arrival, and, in answer to various quotations relativo to the Fed? eral patronage In tho Palmetto Stnte. he naid: "Thoro aro naturally n great many men who would be glad to have oflico and there is much upeculatiou as to the influ? ences likoly to afi'oct their distribution. I cannot give you any information on this subject which will'be of value. As you well know there nro two factions of the Democratic party in the State and the more active members of each nri disposed to claim that they alone are entitled to be eouMidered. I have no moann of know? ing how thooe pretensions will bo recon? ciled, nor have I nny fixed views as to what would bo tho best policy for tho incoming Administration. I" have greet confidence in if r. Olovelnnd's wis? dom und common scn^o in such matters, and think it likoly that he will do whnt is best for tho party and State. "So far as I havo iormed nny opinion I should say that ho would best servo the party thoro by appointing to office thoso whose character aud qualifications aro generally recognized aa pre-eminont, irrespective of factional endorsements or affiliations. I think that tho appointees should bo men who aro in sympathy with the platform and principles o.* tho Na? tional Democratic party as Bet forth in tho platform ?.dopted at Chicago and as ex? pounded by Mr. Cleveland himsolf. I do not think that thoso who adhere to tho principles of tho Fcoplo's party should he selected to hold office undt-r a Democratic Administration. "Undoubtedly many of our people hare beon lod away from the truo Democratic fold aud it should bo the wish and duty of all of us to bring them back, to heal the wounds and to resloro good reeling among thoso who havo becii distracted by factional contentious. "Tho testa of fitness for Federal office, therefore, it seems to me, are not and should not bo whether tho applicant was an adherent of one or the other faction in our late contests, but simply whether ho is a Democrat in principle as well as in nnmo, and whether be is well qualified for tho placo he soeks. Thero is no doubt but that there aro many mon who can fill these require? ments. Unhappily there will not bo offices enough, and thero must of neces? sity bo considerable disappointment ut tho result of any selection. "For myself, I regard it as a great mis? fortune that I should bo in a position whoro it may be necessary to express an opiuion as to any appointments, and you may be suro that I shall not bo a volun? teer of any advice on tho subject. I havo a great many personal friends who aro applicants for office, and it would bo a very painful thing to havo to choose between tbem. Nothing is further from my taste than to seek to bo a dispenser of 'patronago' eo-callod. It is no part of tho duty of a member of Congress to select public officers. Mr. Cleveland will havo advisers such as aro provided by the Constitution and laws, and it is not likely that he will call upon anyone outside of his official family for advice in such mat? ters. "Those are my views so far as I havo any, and holding the? I shall not bo inclined to favor tho course which boa some times been adopted?that is, for the members of Congress to make up a slate for the F?deral offices ; but as it will be somo time before any appointments are to bo made, it Is not necessary to make up one's mind definitely as to what he will do. "I havo no decided views as to the wis? dom or otherwise of having an extra ses? sion of CongroaB. It is in raany.rospects unfortunate, I think, that Congress does not moet soon after it is elected, and I should favor a chango in tho law by which tho Cougres? eloctod in November should convono in the January following iustead of waiting more than a year ; but whether conditions aro such as to make it wise to havo an extra session now, I cannot tell until I know more than I now do. "I lavor large and material modifica? tions in olio existing tariff, but as I have never inudo the details of it a special study I would not be prepared to say what those changes should be, and there foro I would not be inclined to rush into it. I would dofcr to the opiuion of those specially familiar with the subject, and more than all I would trust to the wisdom of Mr. Cleveland himsolf. I think that ho is likely to know best whether an extra session is to be desired, and there? fore I havo not given myself much con? cern about it. "I would not bo deterred if I had to determine it for myself by fears of dis? turbing the 'business interests,' as they nro called. Such interests as have been fostered by an unjust and oppressive tariff should bo disturbed if the right is to prevail and if the people aro to bo relieved as they should bo, and the sooner that disturbance coases the better for tho country. My hesitation about It arises from doubts in my own mind as to what is the wisest and best thing to do. We want to mako such changes as will fix the policy of the country for many years to come, and wo canuotbo too caroful in such a case. "I havo long regarded tho pension question ns equally important with that of the tariff to the people of my aocliou. Tho drain upon us exhausts our resour? ces and will keep us poor so long as it continues. The injury and injustice of it is simply incalculable and for a time relief from it seemed to bo boyond any present hope, but it looks to me now as it 1 could see some light ahead. "The conscience of tho country at largo seems to bo aroused to the iniquities of tho present system, and, in my opinion, wo will find somo way of relief before tho expiration. Tho precise method by which this is to bo accomplished romains to he determined." ? Prince Momo Lulu, cf Nashvillo, the young negro who became King ol tho Vey nation in Africa by his father's death, has started homo to tako his Beaton the throne. ? Considerable talk has beon made over the proposed electric railroad be? tween St. Louis and Chicago, the trains on which are to havo a speed of one huu dred miles per hour. Tho idea almost takes one's breath away, but as a matter ef fact this tremendous speed has been already very nearly equalled on a steam railroad. A few days ago a train on tho Philadelphia and Reading Railroad was run a mile in 37 seconds, and the noxt milo in 38 soconds, against a strong bead wlud. This is at tho rate of 07 miles por hour. It would be as well for the public if the present rates of travel could bo made safer rathor than faster. A Wonder Worker.
