The Milledgeville Recorder says: Ann lUouut, a ooioTed woman, was burned to death on last Friday. The facts of tho caso as we heard them are as follows : She was quilting and had a kerosene lamp on tho quilt. In reaching over to get a snool of thread, she turned the lamp over in her lap, and in a sec ond, her cloibos were in a blaze, she was un able to put out tho fire, and before assistance could be rendered, she was so badly burned that she lived only from 0 o’clock T. m. to 4 L U. Tue Constitutionalist learns from Crawlord- ville that tho notorious desperado, C. C.

We copied a day or two ago a buucomb eedi- lurial special dispatch from Athens to the Au gusta Chronicle & Seutinel, in regard to the railroad meeting held last Saturday. We thiuk, however, that tho meeting was not much of a success alter all, and that our Au gusta friends baro not tho ‘’dead wood" on our Air-Line Road. Here is what the Athens Watchman says about that r.eeiiug: “ The Uailroad meeting ^improp^r, - called a Con vention) held in this pine on Hatuaday last, was not what we wishe ’ .o see. There was but one county outside i Clarke represented —we mean Jackson. Our Augusta trieuds .- cut a highly respectable delegation, aud the ti«K>rgia Railroad was represented by its able President aud a number of Directors. “Wo regret that all tho upper counties were not represented. We do not know what was the reason. It could no*h„vo been tor waut ot interest iu the matter. Perhaps the meet ing was “jumped up" too hurriedly to suit their convenience, aud wo doubt whether they were consulted about it. As the first and ear liest friend of this enterprise (among the news papers wo nnau) for we have advocated it .-incu its first inception, both before aud since the war, we not only regret a lack of represen tation, but u spirit of contention which was exhibited at tho meeting. “Tbero will be heavy outside opposition to the uoublru'Uion of llns road.

Considering the war to be over, and (hat ftterial Maouatruotiou mast begin some time, the Managers of the State Agricultural Fair extended an invitation to tbe President, the Cabinet offloeca, the members of Congress and to tho representative men of the United States Government, aud of publio opiuiou iu the Northern States, to be preeent upon that oc casion. This action of the Mauagom gave umbrage to certain Democratic editois, who have kept np a perpetual irritation ami strife, aud who still seem determined that any movemeut look iug to a material reunion la twecu the sections shall n>>t be Huoccssfuily inuiiquratcd provided they can help it. Wo arc nKiiiivd by proiuiucut gauUuuitii of Macon, and of other localities in Middle (1 gift, that nil men of character anti position, re gardless of polities, unite in their deprecation of this unwise, short-sighted, not to ssy in sane, course of these “Democratic", editors.

Nevertheless, they have succeeded i ing a disturbance; and (with their followers) in fanning into excitement tho halrods and feuds of the past. This was their object, was all that they desired or expected to eouiplish. For they cau live ouly by thus catering to tho lowost passions of the popu lace; well knowing tlmt with material recon struction, and the establishment of fraternal re lations with tho Northern people, their power will bo gone forover, they arc personally and politically interested in tho perpetuity of dis trust, hatred nnd strife, Ilouee tbeir appa rent insanity in abusing and villifying tho guests thus invited.

But if these exceptional classes in tho Northorn States have their pub lic journals and are yet not considered fair types of Northern civilization, why should the Kn-Klnx, and a few Ku-Klux editors, be credited abroad as the representative! Georgia kiospilaUty aud civilization? We have too high an opinion of the intelligence patriotism of those Northern gentlemen who are invited to bo present at tho Macon Pi to presume that their action will in tbe It be influenced by the abuse of the little faction of Ku-Klux sputterers who would prevent th coming. And we do hope that tbe Managers of the Fair will spare neither pains pi-use in making tho visit of their distin guished guests as pleasant mid ngreeablo as possible. The time bus come iu this eouutry when an Aniericau citizen of whatever section, or of whatever faith in politics or religion, must bo made to fool at home in each and every sec tion of tbo Union, where either business or plcasuro may cull him. Aud if we ever intend, as ail honorable and high-minded people, to make our actions conform to our professions of loyalty to a common Government, why not as will begin now as next year, or the year after? Why delay the matter? Why keep pouting like grown up boobies, yet all the while protestiiug “cheerful ami faithful ac quiescence” in the issues of a Wj r now nearly five years over? Why should every advance towards reconciliation aud substantial peace, be denominated “oervility" at the South, and copperhcadism at the North?

It is sensible from first to last, nnd wo warmly endorse its spirit: “The presoutis a proper time to rovivo the recollection of tho favor extended to us by General Grant. This is a matter with regard to which wo owe it to our own character to be entirely frunk. No side issues, no party eu- tauglcments, no personal prejudices, should for a moment withhold tho acknowledgment of the important servico rendered by the President to this State. It is a simple fact that but for his interposi tion iu ourbehali wo should this day be under tho iron-clad oath, with all its horrid conse quences of incompetent and dishonest public ofliccrs, aud distrust aud financial and indus trial ruin prevalent throughout the Common- wraith. To be Raved from that fato is a groat blessing. It is not consistent with the gen erous and frank spirit of Virginians to deny it or withhold tho gratitude which is due to it.” As an act of conciliation, the election of some p« rson to tho Senate unobjectionable to hitu, and disposed to give him a generous sup port, would bo altogether appropriate. This is a qiiestiou for our legislators to decide. Wc arc sure they are sufficiently discriminating and just to arrive ut a fair conclusion. They icere elected undt-r the favor secured Ut us by General Grant, and will bo tho last men to fail to appreciate his liberal views and active sym pathy. In determining this question for them solves they should by no minus bo confined to con siderations of the past.

T!i«- Atlinlnistratlon and the Clold i'anlr. As comiueuts liavo been madu iu tho news papers affecting the Administration iu con nection with tho recent gold panic, and much interest is expressed ou the subject, the Wash ing ton agent of tho Associated Press called upon tho President to assertaiu whether there any foundation for tho insinuations or di rect charges against tho Administration. Tho President conversed with the utmost frankness on the subject, and said he had not thought proper to publicly contradict the state ments concerning himsolf, as he had dono no thing whatever to influence tho money market, or to afford any ndvnntago to private parties. While in New York ho had many voluntary advisers, but lie repeatedly said to them that the Administration always held itself in a po sition to act as it seemed best, and free to make any change of policy for tlio public in terest. la the course ot conversation he stutod that, while on tho eve of going to New port, James Fisk, Jr., came on board tho steamer at New York and said to the Presi dent that Gould had scut him down to ask that ho would privately give them a little inti mation us to what the Administration was go ing to do ou tho financial question. The Pri-sideut replied that the giving of such information would not bo fair, and asked Fisk whether he did not think so himself.— admitted it would not be fair. Tho President then informed him that whenever the A'ministration was going to change its action or policy tlio Secretary of tho Treasury would give notice through the nowspapors as usual, so that everybody might, at tho same time, kuow what it was, thus excluding any possible charge of favoritism. Ou the morning of the panic, Friday w eek, Secretary Boutwell communicated to the Pres ident the situation of affairs in New York, when tho President said, “sell $5,000,000 of gold.” Tho Secretary said that he hnd como for the purpose of suggesting a bale of $3,000,- 000, tho id on of Helling gold thus appearing to be in tbe mind of each at, tho Maine time.

The action was upon a note for ton thousand dollars, mado at Mont gomery, November 18C4, and payable ono day after dutc. The defense mainly was that nt the datn of the noto there was no lawful cur rency circulation in Alabama, and that the medium of exohauge wus at the time Treasury notes of the Confederate States, and that the contract was made with tho understanding and ogreemont that it should bo dischared in such confederate notes, and not in money law ful or current by the United States.

The Hungarian bishops will bo slmo^t holly in opposition; and the sauio spirit is eviuoed bv the bishops of Portugal; while the Spanish Episcopate, with one or two excep tions, is entirely dovoted to the Holy Boo.— Altogether, tho Vatican is dissatisfied. fu at floaae* Don’t to* afraid of a little fen at home! good pfQple- Hon'l #hnt np yocr boose lest tbs sua shoaid fads jrour cnrpfti; and yonr heart* lest % hearty tough should shake down soumvI tbs musty old oobwsb* there. If yon want to rain yonr sons, let them think that all mirth and social enjoyment mast be left on tbe threshold without, when they come home at night. When onoe a home Is regarded as only a place to eat, drink, and sleep iu, tbe work is began that sods in gambling-houses and reoklesi degradation. Young peoplo must have fun and relaxation somewhere; if they do not And it at their own hearthstones, it will be sought in other and less profitable places. Therefore, lot tho Are burn brightly at night, and make the home-nest delightful with all those little arts (hut parents so perfectly understand. Don't repress the buoyant spirits of yonr children ; half an hoar of merriment around the lamp and fire light of home blots out tho remembrauoe of many a earo and annoyance daring the day, and the best safe-guard they can take with them into tho world is tho unseen iufluonco of a bright little domestic sanctum. — The LiUlestoioa Press.
