QmmMV ao Mb BoKJBM.-Tbe New York World has a good thing under this heading, io answer to a. New York journal which bad the effrontery to say: "It is quite certain thai, from tho day of Lee'e surrender dowd ward, the personal course of General Grant, in relation to the Southern people, has been of friendship and maguauimity, nat of vlndiotiveness or oppression. The World declares that those vioious and unregenerate Southern people oannot be indaeed to love and honor their "great and good friend I" Buoh black iugratitude is really heart reuding. After that little scene in the White House when.President Grant insulted the tax-payers of South Caro? lina beo.-tuse Pattersou had slipped io and told him that somebody had spokeo disrespectfully of him in tbeir convention six months before; aftsr that neat little uoosengu from the Pre sidont to the most respectable citizens of Louisiana, advising them to stay ut homo aud not tronblo thetnielvea tu ooiuo to Washington, since nothing tbny aould say would change bis Ex? cellency's viewu; after tbat gushing and genial telegram to inform Sheri? dan that "the Preaideut and all of as" approved his friendly aud megnaui mous proposition to pot New Orleans and her people out of the law as a nest of "banditti," it is truly melancholy. It is more; io the pathetic words of Mr. Bumble, "it isBiokoniug; it in an li? en on mil" Tho only parallel we oan think of for such iueusibility, indeed, is supplied by the experienoo of the i eminent beadla to whom we have just alluded, who took almost as muoh ?paina to make himself beloved by Oliver Twist as Grant has tukeu to win the affvMitious of the "Southern peo? ple," and with as unsatisfactory result. "Mr. Bumble entered the shop of Mr. Sowerbcrry, the undertaker," says the veracious ohrouiclor of that good man's career, "aud, support!ug his cane agaiust the counter, drew forth his lurge leathern pocket-book, from whioh ho selected u> small scrap of paper which ha hauded over Io Sowerberry." "Aha!" ha id the undertaker, glauc log over it with a lively countenance, "an order for a coffin, eh?" "For a coffin drat aud a parochial funeral afterwards," replied Mr. Bum? ble. "B.ijtou?" suid the undertaker, looking from the scrap of paper to Mr. Bumble; "I never heard the uams before." Bumble shook bis head as he re? plied: "Obstinate people, Mr. Sower berry; very obstinate. Proud, too, I'm ufraid, sir." "Proud, eh?" exclaimed Mr. Sower berry, with a sneer, "come, that's too much!" "Oh, it's sickening," replied the beadle; "it's aotimoniul, Mr. Sower berry! ***** A woman who lodged in the same house made an ap? plication to the parochial committee to send the parochial surgeon to the woman at was vsry bad indeed. He had gone out to dinner, but his 'pren? tice (which is a very lad) sent 'em some medlciue in a blaokiug-bottle? off-hand." "Ah! there's promptness," said the undertaker. "Promptness, indeed!" replied the beadle. "But wbat's tho cousequenoe? What's tbe behavior of these ungrate? ful rebel.-', air? Why the husbandaeuda hack word that tho mediciue won't suit his wife's complaint, und ho she shan't take it?says she shan't take it, sir.

The New Senator fuom Florida.? The Hon. Charles A. Jonen, Demo? crat, who was on Thursday eieoted United States Senator from Florida, to succeed Abijsb Gilbert, Republican, whose teim expires on the 4th oi March next, was born io Ireland, in 1834, and came to this oouutry when ten years old; io 1854, be took up his residence in Penaaoola, where he hat since resided. He is a self-made man, 1 having educated himself; was admit . ted to tho bar in 1857, and is con? fessedly one of the ablest lawyers in 1 the State. In 1872, he ran for Con ' gress on tbe Demooratio ticket, and ' was defeated by William J. Pur man, ' present member of Congress, by 1,726 1 votes, Purman receiving 17,537, Jones 15,811. In 1871, ho ran for tho lowei 1 bouse of tbe State Legislature from 1 Eicambia County, to whioh he wae eieoted. Senator Jonos is a conserva? tive Democrat, and by his elect ion Florida has redeemed herself from tbe I disgrace of ber present weak delega I tion. ? ----- - { An extract from the Greville Me ; moirs, wbiob is better tban Gregory's, ' from J. O.: Talleyrand said to a party ' of Englishmen in London, tbat he had received a letter from St. Petersburg, giving an account of the ooronation oi i the Emperor, whioh stated that "the Emperor was preceded by tbe assassins i of bis grand-father, surrounded by those of bis father, and followed by his own." i ?.?

Really, much has been done within the last, two years. ? Oar neighbor, the Augusta . Chronicle ? mndSentinel,'happily sums up theoase, xud presents many causes of oongratu tietien.

The savage threats of the Arkansas message,, when considered in oonaeotioo with the recent utter, wholesale and reiterated defeats and , rebukes of the mao who otters them, tarings to oar mind the biting sstire of, the prophet of old?perhaps thy God is eeleep or on a journey and oannot hear thee or make bare his arm. It is one thing to say and another to do, aud with the enormous and unprece? dented revulsion of sentiment, and eouscqient change of power, that has within tho last three months taken j?lace iu the United States, we have no fear of any further overt aots toward despotism, however good tbe will of ? those who would like to commit the ort me. Honest old John Banyan tells 4M ot a giant that sat in his cave, be? strewn with the bones of past victims, ?but now, bstng .disabled by many ?shrewd brashes, could do no more than bite his nails st the travelers Jaatdag by.

To 1972, Brooks and Baxter ran for '?tho office of Governor of Arkansas? 6be one on the Greeley ticket, tbe -other on tbe Grant ticket. Tbe Grant t?*rty in th^t State counted Brooke oat ?ud Baxter in, tbe President not dis eenting. Last May, in a proclamation -which all parties approved, the Presi ffout declared Baxter .o be the Go? vernor, basing hia decision upon a -provision of tho State Constitution, which makes the General Asssmbly of tbe State tbe final judge of the elec? tion of State officers. He says tbst be "was indosted into it according to tbe ?Constitution and laws of the State." He farther fortifies his action by re? ference to the fact that he (Baxter) bad ?for a long period been exercising the functions of the office. Considering ell this, men have ft very whore been as :o nie bed at the language of his lets -Arkansas message. Nothing has oc? curred to induce this eheoge of front, ?unless it bs that Brooks has turned his -eoat and become a Grant man. The 4>rees of both parties has spoken out in Ute sternest eondem nation of- the new position taken by tbe President, and e oecy general alarm bee been spread at i*ia probable olttrior purposes. It Is to b? hoped thai this state of feeling, this undoubted apprehension, bee had ita proper and Legitimate effect upon him. x. Tbe Washington correspondent of the New York Herald bovh that the alarm end indigpaf iaq excited there ?njong Republics af weil as Demo* orate begin to bear fruit. He repre? sents the President as having positively said, a day or two ago, tbat be did not mean to be understood as intending to interfere in Arkansas unless Congress shoqld direct him; and that, if Con? gress obooaea to give hioj uo pqlipy or directions, he will cot interfere iu any way in the State. A proper construc? tion of his message will show it to mean tbat he intended to interfere, whether Congress gave him directions or not. Publio opinion in his own party now rebokes tbat scheme, and the President is understood to give it up. This denial of revolutionary pur? poses, as the correspondent says, comes none too soon, and it was said in Re publican oiroles that if the President were well advised, he wonld send in another message to explain tbe first, or at leaal take some decided means to re-assure tbe publio and Congress, for there has been, since the Arkansas message was sent in, a growiug feeling of deep uneasiness and alarm on all sides. UwoTtrlng. The people of North Carolina are beginning to look after their State University, at Chapel Hill. It went completely to pieces in the bands of the Radicals. Trustees have lately been appointed, and alresdy exhibit much enthusiasm in the cause of the restoration of the institution to use? fulness and honor again. At a meet? ing reoently held, they received re? ports from tbe Treasurer, from the agent put iu charge of the buildings lately surrendered io the board aud frqm various committees. Tba agri? cultural land scrip fund was inquired .into. An executive committee was chosen', and they were authorized to appoint an agent to solicit subscrip? tions from alumni and others. Hon. W. A.

The total valae of the imports of to? bacco in tbe leaf and in stem amount? ed for that period to $5,932.548. The oigar imports are valued at $3,030,628 in addition. 'There were manufactured in tbe United States last year, of fo? reign and domestio tobacco, on whioh the taxes were paid, 1,780,961,000 cigars. A comparison of figures shows that for every oigar that passes through the custom house twenty three domestic cigars were manufac? tured and paid the tnx. Tbe Govern? ment reaps a royal revenue from tbe 5,000,000 cigars smoked in every twenty-four hours. In a single year tbe import duties amount to $6,150, 060, aud the taxes to $33.242,875 in currency.

Tlie Governor loves the bonds, and the Governor loves the'people's money; bat the Go? vernor would not take the people's money for anything in the world. We have a de facto Governor. He is a very good man. The people love him. He is very pious. He loves the Presi? dent, and the President loves bim.

Yes, tbej are afraid oi the banditti." John Mitohbx, fob the British Parliament.?John Mitchel, whu sailed for Ireland on Saturday last in the steamer Republic, from New York, it ia stated, went out to run for Parlia? ment. The Irish American Bays: "Mr. Mitohel's departure was unex? pected even by his most intimate friends, hot the reason of it was tbat be received, by Aiiautio telegraph, in? timation ef a vaoanoy in the repre? sentation ef Tipperary, and, as he an? nounced in his recent leotnre in New York, he held himself in readi? ness to start at any moment on tbe call of that or any other oonstiuenoy. Col. White is about to resign his seat, and Mr. Mitobel may fill the vaoanoy." An oration over the tomb of Geu. Robert E.

Times, ot the 16ih ot November, con? tains the affidavits, taken st tbe British Consulate, Batsfria, of Ave wen, tbe survivors of one boat's orew of the ship Sttioe, wbloh left North Shields on the 11th of .Tone last, with ooele for, Aden. When ale was lees than two months ont, after ehe bed encountered n henry storm, her cargo of coals was found to be on fire, end, efter eeveral days of gallant bit unsuoeeesfulstrog gle with tbe flames, the eeptain, offi? cers and crew, in nil thirty-one men, bad to confess themselves vanquished, to leave the'ship and to take to their boats in the open sen. The fute of two of tbe boats is an yet unknown, but those in the third suffered almost in? credible agonies. Tbe seoond mate, James Arober, after detailing tbe sut (erings of their boat's crew of seven men trom August 9, when they left tbe ship, says: "ju August 30, our thirst and hunger were intense; we o-Jtn meouud to drink ealt wuter August 30, Miller drinking more than any of tue others. On the 31st of August, Miller got delirious; this was probably brought about by his drinking so mncb saltwater. He declared that he offered bia body as food for the others, und entreated tbem to kill aud devour him. We did not heed him. After a time the man Menus 8ohutt proposed that they should cast lots who should fall as a sacrifice for keeping tbe othera alive. To this we all consented. Hav? ing no other means to make a lottery, we hit npon using small sticks of dif-, ferent sizes, deoidiug that tbe oyi who drew tbe smallest should be 'tbe victim. After having made th/stick* ready, I held them in my h/hd while the othera drew. On oomp/riog them together we found that /he Italian, Francis Shnfos, held the j/nsllest stick. Hsvicg, also, agreed thai tbe lottery should be thrice tepeuted, and that when it should then prove that either two or three of oa bad drawn the shortest stick, these should oast lots among themselves, no that the victim might be singled out, we found that the same man hud for a second time picked out the name wbjeot. Francis Sbofus, when hie turn came for the third drawing, he*ituted to join and would not draw, npon which the man Sandstrom proposed be would do it for him. This he did, and tbe short? est stick whs found in Sandatrom's hand. fSbufus bore it with great oulmnesB, and showed the utmost re? signation. He was left ulone fur some two hours, while we now und then eagerly looked round the horizon to see whether a sail could be perceived or any help would come. We stood upon the thwarts. Shnfus prepared himself to meet his fate by praying and speaking in Italian. He gave na no parting message to be sent to his friends, most probably as he hardly knew more English than to say yes and no. His bearing was that of a man whose mind was made up. Seeing that we were past help, and feeling . that our hunger und thirst hod grown beyond further en? durance, we saw ourselves driven to sacrifice Shufus. He laid himself down, but before that, Angust Mailer had told him that he would take his place and die for bim. This Shnfus refused, aud laying himself down iu the bottom of the boat, gave himself op to be tied; then one man held the empty bouillt tin bo us to ontch in it tbe blood. Muller, on saying that now some ono must die tor the others, passed tbe knife around the man'tt throat. He did not straggle tjr scream. The blood was drunk by us all. Mai? ler then cut out his livor and heart. These we cut into small piocca, and ute them mixed with the blood und suit water. At the last mnmuuts of Sbufus, I wu9 nt the? helm. The bead aud feet were thrown away, the trunk aud tbe limbs were put into oue of tbe air-tight tins of our life-boat, which we had opened. We continued on our wuy. It might have been 2 o'clock in the afternoon when tbe man Shufus died. Some three hours after a ship was euou, which, on perceiving the bout, made for us. Oa Hearing tbo vessel, we threw away tbe remains of the corpse. In oar emanated state, we were helped on board. Tbe vessel was 1 the Java Packet, Capt. G. Trappen, master, of Amsterdam, from that port to Batavia. This was on the 31st of August. We were well treated, and on the 2d ot November tbe vessel arrived 1 at Batavia roads." i \San Francisco Chronicle. Thb Bkeohbb Scandal Frozbn Up. I Brooklyn enjoyed a little sanitary re , lief to its morality on Friday, by the freezing np of the New York ferry? boats, whioh prevented Mr. Evsrte, oi the defence, from attendipg tbe , Bescher-Tilton trial, thus osusing s i suspension of the proceedings. No doubt it was a great disappointment to the parties involved and the Plymouth communion generally, bnt it was what j Artemas Ward Would call "a preoioua boon" and a blessing in disguise to the ragged edge of decency that yet re? mains around Brooklyn. Now if tho parties to the scandal, including the angel Woodhnll, could be tempted on , the ice bridge which has since formed in East River, and that ice bridge could be tempted to melt, there would bo great hopes for Brooklyn, and no good reason left why the great iron bridge to oonneot the two cities should not be built. A Sad Casualty?The many friends of Mr. end Mrs. Obarles Sinkler will be greatly pained to learn that, wbila driving with her husband, near their home in Upper St. John's, on Wednes? day last, she Was thrown from tbe baggy snd instantly killed.

The Honse of Representatives met last night, bat, failing in a quorum, adjourned to meet, this morning, at 10 o'clock. There was an attempt to raise a false alarm of fire, last cigbt, bat tbe effort pr >ved a failarr. A Russian proverb: "Before going t > war, pray once; before going to sea, pray twice; before getting married, pray three times." Several matorial oorreotious have been made in tbe schedule of the South Carolina Railroad, as heretofore published. James Lear, of Philadelphia, was found dead, between tbe hours of 8 and 9 o'clock, yesterday morning, at itte Ueodrix Honse. A prudent fatbor thoughtfully put hio front door in the parlor, so tbat his daughter and a young man can swing on it without taking oold during the oold weather. Two young gentlemen were looking! ut fashionable ladies promenading up Main street. One of them atdted tbe other why be did not get married. *'?ou have got money enough," said he, "to feed a wife." ''Yes," replied tbe other, "bat I have not money enough to clothe ber." Mr. Charles B. Trumbo, of tbe clothing house of Win. C.

The Land Distbtbction.?Messrs. D. C. Peixotto & Son have accepted tbe ngenoy for tbe grand distribution of prizes which cornea off on the 15th of Maroh, in Greensboro, N. C. The first prize is the Benbow Honse, valued at 860,000; the next is a $10,000 cash gift. We are gratified to learn that o de? spatch was received from Fiorenoe, yesterday morning, denying tbe re? ported death of Judge Townaeud. In reading bis own obitnary, the Judge will havo the advantage, of most men. Rather a ghostly entertainment, it is true, but somewhat relieved in this in? stance by the favorable view taken of his life and labors. We congratulate him that he is still amongst us. uud muy he livo loug and prosper.

After so long a fast, tbe publio were nearly famished to hear ugain the language of a legitimate dramn. Last night, they were well re I paid for their patient waiting. Mr. , Adams? gives the character of Enoob ' Arden in tbat simple, trus-bearted style, that is bo mach engrafted in the . manners, and expressed in the words ' of the honest sailor. Hia prophetic 1 forebodings, bordering on supersti 1 tion, are pictured* eo naturally aa to be \ deeply affecting.

Have the forecast, then, to protect yourself st this dangerous season with something more important than either of these articles. Strengthen your stomach and nervous system, regulate your liver and yonr bowels, tone all yonr organs and oheer your animal spirits with that agreeable cordial, tonic and alterative, Hostetter's Stomsoh Bitters. So shall you surely escape the diseases' whioh fasten upon tha feeble and de? bilitated. "Suffer and be strong," says tbe proverb; but "Be strong that you may not suffer," ia Che - wise* ? msxim?and of all strengthening pre? parations this is tho safest, the sorest, the most genial. As a remedy, as well as an antidote, for dyspepsia, fever and ague, and liver disease, there is no combination of vegetable apeeifloe at present kuown wbiob even approaches it in efficacy. Anticipate the enemy. The elements of innumerable diseases are afloat in this raw, damp, mephitis winter air. Will yon defend yourself sgainst them or not, good reader? That is tbe question.
