Ff.derat. troops lmve already been sent to Montgomery^ Alabama, under tho At torney Oquo'ciiI'm orders. Have there been any M Democratic “outrages” at Montgomery hdily V Not even the Radi- cal papers published .there have reported any. But there is a Radical split—two tickets in the'field, und their respective partisans fighting each other. Perhaps it is to enforce party subordination in the Radical ranks tliut Federal troops ure to he sent to Montgomery and other parts of Alabama. Eli? If they are sent to Bul lock und Barbour counties also, we will have moro light on that question. The Griiliu A7urn publishes an impor tant decision iu bankruptcy, rendered by Alex. G. Murray, Register, and sustained by Judge Erskino. Willis A. Jordan, bankrupt, claimed exemption of real es tate aud personalty to tho amount in all of #3,. ! ion, as allowed by tho homestead and exemption laws of Georgia, enacted since the war. Two of his creditors ob jected, on the ground that their claim against the bankrupt was for a debt con tracted in 18(10, when the homestead ex empted by tho lawsof Georgia was greatly less than now. The Register overruled tho objection, holding that the bankrupt law recognized the Slate exemptions ex isting iu 1871, without regard to those that existed at tho time of the bankrupt's contracting his debts; aud this ruling is sustained by Judge Erskino. *■ ' ft Amono tho other absurdities tele graphed from Alabama to Washington, to obtain military intervention in tho local affairs of tho Stato, was the statement that Judge Busteed laid “virtually pub lished to tho Ku-Klux that ho would pun ish no more of them!" Tho only founda tion for this story was Busteed's letter in which he declared that ho would no long er actively support tho Radical State tick et iu Alabama, because it was nominated by a convention whoso delegates were “tyroB in politics, paupers in intellect, hut iitlluent iu profligacy." But in tho es- niation of .carpet-bag and Hcallawug lead ers iu Alabama, every man who thus speaks the truth about them is a Ku-Klux. If they had said that Busteed hid gone into the Ku-Klux business himself, and therefore could not consistently punish members of that “klan,” we might have seen the forco of their representntiou. # But thoir report to Washington as quoted above, is as reckless a falsehood as tho stories of “outrages'' they have manufac tured. Ai.arama—lu Randolph county, it is computed, eight hundred Democrats at tended their meeting to nominate county caudldHmrriiiil vEpHH—'fh* enmity gave tho Democratic ticket only filf* votes iu 1872. It is said that iu Jefferson county, which gave Herndon only 1,(100 votes, 3,000 Democratic voters ure already en rolled in clubs, and that in other coun ties in North Alabama an organisation is being perfected that willeusuro the Dem ocrats und Conservatives a sweeping vic tory. It will take fully fifty thousand of At torney General Williams' soldiers to pre vent the pooplo of Alabama from elect ing the Democratic ticket in November. Aud where will lie get them from? ■lolling III Georgia. There are signs of breaking of party ranks iu some localities iu Georgia, by which, we fear. Radicalism will profit. Iu Randolph oouuty, we loaru, Mr. Tuiu- lin, running ns an independent Democrat, is receiving the support of most of tlio negroes, and umy he elected chiefly by thoir votes. This, perhaps, would not iu itself be uuy great loss, ns Mr. Tuniliu claims to ho n good Democrat and is a man of fair ubility. But the mischief is that the disaffection is likely to affect thoughtless as to risk the loss of a mem ber of Congress, in which body we shall so badly need every vote we can get, for tlio purp »su of aiding tho ejection of n p< r o* :i* favorite to the Legislature. They will ti.de with their eloctivo lights by do ing no. In the Seventh Congressional District, Dr. Felton, of Bartow, is an independent Democratic candidate, running against Hon. L. N. Trammel, tho Democratic nominee, and is receiving a measure of support that seems to render his election highly probable. At a Democratic meet ing in Cobb comity, held in Marietta on Tuesday, Dr. Fid ton made a speech, and the meeting almost unanimously endorsed him. An effort was made to get out an ! independent ticket for the Legislature in | Cobb, hut this, wo are glad .to see, ,whh I defeated. In tho First Congressional District, ns learn from the Savannah New* % Bry- unt, tho Radical nominee, is artfully striv ing to get up a Democratic split iu Burke county, by which he may proAt. He wants to get up an “independent” Democratic ticket there, supported hy the liadiculs in consideration of Democratic votes for Bryant. A nice little plot, truly, but the meal is so thick on the cat that tho intend ed victims can hardly full to soe it. Democrats! avoid holts and “indepen dent” candidates. Stand l»y your nomi- tiers, if you have a party whoso success is important to your principles and inter ests, and whose organization is worth maintaining. WHAT AUK Til K ITAKN ? Prof. W. W. Ritchie, of Ton Menace, has thrown a bombshell into the eauip of the astronomers. He contends that tho muon and tho stars lire blit the reflect ion upon tho Armament of bodies of water on the earth ! Wo make an extract from his pub lication : “The moon, being the reflection of the smaller body of water, is governed and shaped hy the sun uml earth. You Arst see it in the west, at about what we call two hours' high, with tho crescent from the sun, aud as it rises it increases until it is full, when it roAects the most perfect pic ture of the globe that enti ho drawn, and as it recodes the oresent is reversed and still show ing from the sun—positive proof, to my mind, that it is shaped and govern ed hy I lie earth and sun. “The stars are the reflections of the seas, gulfs, lakes, buys and rivers, and any pors in wishing to prove the above iil look at their globe and take tho ) then made him pay the dollar to ride on tho ears back to Rome.

Look at tho whole group of the northern lakes, Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, Ooturio and Georgia I my, and then look at the Great Roar, aud you will soe that tho one corresponds with tho other in position uml numbers.” Not having seen tho full statement of the Professor’s theory,- wo do not know whether ho considers tho plnnots also only reflections, or how ho accounts for move ments of theirs which would ho very ec centric if ho does. A month ago we saw Jupiter and Venus apparently in dose proximity—not more tlmn two or three degreos apart. Now they nro not loss than forty dogroes apart. Have tho bodies of water on tho earth, whoso reflection causes the bright spots on tho Armament called Jupiter and Venus, changed their relative positions? and if not, how can tin posi tions of their reflections vary so greatly ? Rut perhaps it ih only our old friends chtrus, Kirius, the Pleiades, Orion and other fixed stars and constellations, that tho Professor resolves into moro reflec tions of light on tho firmament. They do, hy thoir twinklings, somewhat resom- flections of light made by bodies of water iu agitation. But their changes of rclutivo position dispel tho idea, if the tipper is the reflection of our Aiuoricau lakes, why is it that it presents tho sntno appearance to tho Asiatics ns to us—only at a different hour of the night ? Aud how is it, if tho Caspian Hoa (for iustnuco) cau ses the reflection which wo know ns Vega iu tho constellation Lyra, that we iu America can see it almost directly over head whou tho Caspian sea is on the op posite side of tho oarth? But it would seem to bo a waste of time to arguo against such eccentricities. Tho Professor advances another idea which Hoonis to us (and lias long soemod so) to bo more reasonable, viz ; that tho sun, instead of being ninety-odd millions of miles distant from us, is really not fivo millions. Wo would like to soo his argil- m this point. Ragsdale hearing him in her ch'ldr room, ran in and grasped Liiu, calling at the same time for assistance. Mr. li*g-u ] dale und son cuino in and secured the pri- ■ soner, and he was committed to DoKulk ! couuty jail. A CALIFORNIA DUEL. ONE OF THE MFN SHOT THROUGH THE JUGULAR AT TUK FIRST FIRE —HE FOLLOWS UI* IIIS ANTAG ONIST AND TAKES A DYING RE VENGE. Correspondence San Francisco Uhronlcle.J A desperate shooting affray took place boro to-day. resulting in the immediate death of one of the chief actors, und the propahly fatal wounding of the other. The sceoe of the tragedy was Goodhue's saloon. At ten o'clock this morning a man named Leandcr T. Robinson, more commonly called “Tod" Robinson, enter ed the saloon and invited all hands to take a drink. Among those in the room was a uiun known us Tony Harris, be tween whom and Robinson some ill-feel ing was existing. Robinson had no t-o >n or finished his invitation than Harris re marked that he “wouldn't drink with u ,” using a very obscene epithet. Rob inson replied : “Well, I always pay for my drinks.” Harris then rose from his chair, saying: “Well, this is an old grudge between you and mo, and wo might as well settle it right now," draw ing u derringer as ho spoke. Robin son instantly drew his pistol—a five shooter—mid both men fired almo.-t simultaneously. Harris* shot struck Rob inson in tho neck, cutting tho jugular vein, anil tho blood gushed forth in a tor rent. Robinson’s first shot missed Har ris. Tho latter, immediately after firing, threw his weapon at Robinson, and hav ing notliiug els i to defend himself with, ran iuto the billiard-room, hack of the saloon, hoping there to escape from bis antagonist. Although mortally wounded, however, and wiih Ins life-blood gushing from tho terrible hole iu his neck, Robin son staggered after his as-ailant, whom be had now cornered yi the biilnwd room. Steadying himself against ono of the ta bles, ho took deliberate aim and fired at H arris, who was lacing him at the opj o- sito side of the table, the hall taking effect near the navel, and inflicting a wound which is likely to prove fatal. Again tho dying man raised his pistol and fired, tho hall striking Harris iu die hand, tearing off his thumb. Home of tho men from the saloon had hy this time entered tho billiard-room, supposing tho shooting to ho finished. But Robinson’s veugeauce was not yet satisfied, and though tho glaze of death was ulro.idy in his eyes, he again fired his pistol, ami then dropped dead. The last shot struck the night watchman's trousers pocket, hut owing to the lucky circum stance of his having a hunch of keys and a police whistle just in the right spot, the oourso of tho deadly niisslo was stopped— the only damage being tho breaking of tho whistle. Coroner Black hold an inquest soon af ter the killing. The jury found a verdict in accordance with the finds above set forth, und Robiusou was buried this af ternoon, which many people around here consider rather quick work, even for n Californian town. The deceased is what is gonerully kuown as a sporting m m, and is said to have a wife living in Merced. His ago was about thirty-eight years. Harris, whoso real name is said to he Galvin, is a blacksmith, und lias no rela tives iu California. The fonuulity of placing him under arrest has boon gone through with, but from present appear ances ho will not trouble the courts much.
