Volume XUV.-No. 8 The Weekly Enquirer. JOHNJL MARTIN . Editor. COLUMBUS: THURSDAY JULY 4, 1872. JOJM H. JAMES FOB UOYEBXOR! We are iuformed by a dispatch frem Atlanta that John H. Jainea, Mayor and banker of that city, haa announced him* aelf aa a candidate for Governor of Geor gia. For several weeks past letter-writers from Atlanta have been telling strange stories of the great popularity of this man James and of the intensity with which the people of the State were turning their admiring and expectant eyes upon him. Every now and then some conntry news paper has suddenly flared up with the enthusiastic announcement that James was the very man for Governor, and that tho people of the State were rapidly con centrating on him as their candidate. We think that about a half-dozen papers have in this manner prepared the way for the announcement now made by telegraph. True it is that nearly every county of the State have recently, by public meetings, expressed or indicated their preferences for a man to All tho office of Chief Execu tive of Georgia for the next term; and not one of them has named James. True it is, we believe, that he has not even been proposed as a candidate at any of these meetings. Hut nevertheless tho correspondents and the papers referred to have insisted that be was the man, and it now seems that they have roused him up to a realization of the important part which he sustains in the politics of Geor gia, And he rushes into the arena exclaim ing “List nml wonder! that such a time should In>, To stir up I'lirMoit and wuko up such a man us me!" He does not propose to submit his claims to the decision of the called Democratic tttate Convention. Not he! The letter- writers and newspapers aforesaid have, by their spontaneous and concurrent testi mony, satisfied him that he is wanted, and he responds that “Barkis is willing," with out waiting to seo what tho people have to say in their soon to be reiterated ex pressions of preference for a man for the position. In other words, he is a candi date withont regard to, but iu defiance of, the already knowu choice of the Dcmo- cratic party of tho State. He hopes to be elected Governor ah he was choseu Mayor of Atlanta—by running “independently" against the Democratic noiuiuee and re ceiving the Radical vote. But snch a trick does not succeed so well on a large ^ scale as on a small one, and Mr. James will probably, after the cleection, return to hia money bags with this addition to his stock of political experience—that ■noh “little games" as his may win once, bnt are not to be relied on as a steady practice. And now cornea the New York World with the acknowledgment (see telegraphic dispatches) that Greeley’s i nomination is a “foregone conclusion,” I and that a “bolt” cannot be gotten vp. It therefore says, in effect, to thoao whom it has delnded with its calculations that Greeloy would bo defeated at Baltimore, | “take care of yourselves; as for us, we •won't go for Grant, and don't know yet ». whether we will go for Greeley. So we regard any organized Democratic opposi tion to the acceptance of Greeley and Brown as “played out"—“gone up"— ‘‘done bursted"—and that contingency may be shoved out of the account in can vassing at Baltimore the question of the availability of the Liberal Republican nominees. Blanton Duncan of Kentucky, we are told by a lato dispatch, is now at Bslti- more trying to “organize a bolt." Bnt Blanton must soon become convinced that a bolter’s “bone's will be munched by the Thomas cat" after “A bigger chicken fliefi on the fence, t’ll«|>-l Imp, ( ll4j'|iU'|Uti !

The Eufanla Times learns from a letter keoeivea in its city, that on the 25th ult., near Apalachicola, William Uathoock, of • South Carolina, murdered a young man named Charles Fort, an employee on the fiteem tug Ella, by striking him on the iemple with a hatchet and knocking him overboard, liathcock escaped from the tug in his bateau while those on the tug were vainly trying to rescue Fort from the water. | • We were mistaken in saying that Major Miller’s address to the Troy Female Col- I lege was to bavo been delivered on last l Friday evening.

Hunter, a Virginian by birth, who dis tinguished himself before our late civil war in the Federal naval service, and Afterwards gallantly served nudor the Confederacy.

A negro man who was recently arrested • In Stewart oounty, Ga., and taken to Beale .

A Washington dispatch reporta that Jeasa Wimberly has baen appointad Sur veyor of Distilleries for the Third District pf Georgia, J. N. JAMES’ CANDIDACY—AGAIN. Wo flud that some readers, who had not carefully perused Mr. James’ letter, were of the opinion that his candidacy for Gov ernor was subject to the decision of tho Democratic nominating Convention. But this opinion is not sustained by the tone of the letter, nor is it in accordance with the tone of tho presses supporting Mr. James—to which we shall presently allude. Tho following is Mr. James' letter an nouncing himself a candidate: Atlanta, Ga., June 22 th, 1872. To the People, of Georgia: For months past, I have been solicited personally and by letters, from frieuds in all portions of the State, to submit my nurne as a candidate for Governor. Now, that the Executive Committee has called a Convention to meet iu tLis city, on tho 21th duy of the coming mouth, to nominate a candidate for Governor, 1 deem it u fit opportunity to answer thoso solicitations, ami to auuouuce tliut I am a candidate for the position. As a candi date, I do not feel called upon to discuss the present exciting issues of national politics. What Georgia needs, is a good, sound, nml economical administration. Stripped of much of her material wealth by the re- salts of the war, and subsequently robbed of much that was left her, by the harpies that preyed upon her in the hour of her distress and helplessness, she now find.* herself burdened w’itb nu immense debt, for the carryiug of which her people are grievously taxed. The people need relief, prompt, full and Hdequato to tlieir great necessities, and if I should be honored with iho posi tion, I may say that all of my energies will bo devoted to the task of restoring the credit, prosperity and houor of the noble old Commonwealth. If the people ahull tbiuk and decide that some other geutleman is belter entitled to the high houors of her Chief .Magis trate, it will afford mo sincere pleasure to promptly bow to their expressed wishes. John H. James. Tho very address of this letter—“To the People of Georgia’’—fcUggohtH that Mr. James is not relying upon the Democratic party for his “candidacy"; and his dis missal of national politics, as topics not proper for discussion in the selection of a Goveruor of Georgia at this time, con firms it ns a fact. He alludes, it is true, to tho CMlliug of the Democratic Conven tion, but lie only does so, apparently, i.h h prelude to the announcement that he con siders this tho time to respond to the appeals of those who have solicited him to bocome a candidate, und ho does so sppoaliug to “the people" for support— not to the Democrats fora uomiuaUun. Bnt the courso of tho papers supporting Mr. James’ claims goes brill faithcr to conviuce us that we lightly represented his position. We believe that not ono of tho papers that has run up hia uaiuo fol lows it with tho usual qualification, “sub- j«ct to the decision of the Democratic Convention." We have now before na one of thoso papers—the Macon Enter- jtrisc of the 1st inst.—audits “ticket" is paraded as follows: “For Governor— John H. James, of Fulton. For Presi dent—The Nominee of the Baltimore Cou- volition. For Vice Prosident—Ditto." It will be seen that this editor submits everything to a Democratic Convention txerpt James’ candiducy for Governor. But if it should turn out that wo liuve, misconstruing his ambiguous letter and tho singular course of his supporters, misunderstood Mr. James’ position us a candidate, we will with much pleasure set him right when authorized to do so. A 8VRPKNNI0N—AND A RKMININCKNCK. The Lumpkin Telegraph announces a suspension of that pupor this week, to enable its employees to enjoy the 4th of July and witness the hanging of Spann in Webster county! The latter inducement brings to mind an incident in the early newspaper life of that incomparable humorist and prince of good fellows, Johnson Hooper, which be once published on himself. Hooper was then editing hia first newspaper, the East Alabamian, at LaFayette, Chambers county. It was published on Saturday mornings, and his latest news came by the saddle-bags mail from Columbus, ar riving Friday evenings. The mail rider was goucrally tardy in reaching LaFayetto, and Hooper complaiued several times of the delay, which left him but little time to extract and get iuto his next morning's issue the latest intelligence. But on one Friday, about midday, a negro waa to be hung at LaFayette, and the mail boy made snch extraordinary haste in getting there that day that he arrived in time to witness the hanging ! Hooper let out npon him with his choicest licks, concluding with the pious hope that a negro or a mail rider would be hung every Friday. This brought out the maff boy in a reply which we reproduce as follows (from memory) : “Mr. Hupper—Ser—Yu think yu done a mity smart thing abusing the male rider. But Ilo let yu no Be go to see a nigger bung whenever 1 durn plees, and not ask no leeve from yu or your dod-rotted Estrun All>bamean. I reckon bull yer- lius' boms would gro out jest as they allers did, and water would run down hill, if your pesky Estrun AUybamewu wuan’t printed at all. It s made a gol-durn d fool outer yu, and yu never had hut mity little sense before. lie see as rneuny niggers hung as I want to, and hope yu may catch the same. The Male Boy." Hooper used to refer to this indignant epistle of the mail boy as an illustration of the vanity of newspaper pride end glory. Perhaps be humored the thing and gave it some finishing touehes, as a means of show ing up, in a quiet and round-about way, tho false conceit of thoRe whoso pomposity end self-importance made them fit subjects of ridicule. If wo only had Hooper among us now, what themes these disjointed times and the usurpations and vagaries of politicians would furnish for his ridionle and satire ! But we hope that his is a state of rest—of peace unknown to lli« worried editor with hia daily vexa tions. Goveruor Smith hai appointed C. D.

Tub Remains of the Chicago Corners. The Chicago Tribune, under date June 25,says: The grain which the cliques had collec ted here in their cornering operation duos not go forward froeley yet, though tho continued .settling down of prices which was noticeable again to-day, is preparing the way for it. it is commonly believed that some of the bunks which encouraged the speculators in oats to attempt the- blockade of the eutire grain trade of the city, holds yet about 1,.*>00,000 bushels of oa s on which they had udvuncod 510 cent* nor bushel or more. It is difficult lossy how nearly correct this entim.de of quan tity may be, but it sueuis m>t improbable the price oi oats is being artificially sus tained, in tho hope ol working off the sill plus gradually, it h apparent, howev er, that there will be a loss in Iho opera tion, and tho general public will nut lie Horry if tlio bunks which assisted the cor nering conspiracy get punished iu that way.

Wo deferred alluding lo tho matter un til our Red River exehungcH should say something about it. Tho Conshutta Times, ol the 22d, is tho first paper that ullmlos to it.

At the next trial, in 1870, the plaintiff recovered a verdict of $(i,(M)0 ; again defendant appealed, and again tho Supreme Court reversed and remauded the case. It was next tried at the spring term, 1871, of the Circuit Court, when a verdict was reudered for defendant, anew trial granted, and ou a change of venue to Henry county, the plaintiff recovered u verdict of $10,000. A outlier uppeul whs taken, and at the present term of the Supreme Court it was decided that a county caunot be held lia ble for aecideuta that may happen ou a bridge similar to the ouo in question. If it hud been a toll bridge, then the pluintiff could have recovered damages. This de cision is final, aud saves to the county about $10,000; but it is disastrous to Mr. Horn.— Eufaula Times, 3l)//<. Turned.

CorrcaiuaUcuco gavuiiintli News.J Atlanta, June ffO, 1872. It is not probable that the Gubernato rial Convention will be uusninious iu tho choice of a candidate for Governor. In deed, it is now well understood that the holders of Bullock’s spurious bonds, cer tain railway and canal “rings," and cer tain local interests and factions, togother with tho “sore-heads" and disappointed office-seekers, aro hard at work tryiug to find a caudidutc to beat out Gov. Smith. Home of these parties had a meeting for consultation at the National Hotel yester day, wbon it was determined to send out ugeuts and canvassers iuto different purls of the State, one of whom was to leavo for Southwestern Georgia this morning. Others have gone, or will go, in other di rections. The use of money is freely talked about by these people, and tho anumut already on hand—$25,000—is mentioned as uu evideuce of strength ! Tho parties to this movement of the “riugs" are known, and will bo exposed at tbo proper time. I allude to the sub ject uow to put the people ou their guard. One of the parties approached a leading citizen of North Goorgiu during tho Con vention this week, and urged him to be come a candidate; but he promptly do- cliued, saying he was for Smith. Another one suggested to a distinguished gentle man that he organizo a movement iu Custom Georgia iu opposition to the present incumbent. Thu answer was pro fane, but very emphatio against uuy such folly. Meanwhile, there has been Homo co quetting between theso Democratic ’sore heads* and ‘ring’ men, and the lenders of tlio African forces iu the State. If a sat isfactory representative of tho bondhold ers, tho disappointed brigade, aud tlio lobby, cannot be nominated, thou it is hoped some disseusiou may urine iu tho Democratic party, either in Georgia or at Baltimore, which, with tho co-operation of the Radicals, sill enable tho coulilion to curry the oleutiou. •q.on.K-i of tlio mil Mo The Slate IIoimI Lphni*. Atlanta, June, 21).—The most impor tant facts yet developed by the commit tee on the State Roml lease wero brought to light yesterday. Ouo of tlio lessees testified that, soon after the lease was ef fected, a motion wus rnudo iu a meeting of his colleagues to raise $180,000. Of this sum only $50,t>00 was actually paid up. During the discussion which arose upon the motion, Kimball is represented ns hnviug urged tho payment of the whole atuoiiut asked for, i.h compensation for services rendered; for, to these services, he said, the persons present owed their seats as lessees. The evidence was given by an ex-les see, who usked that the other lessees might bo present nud contradict him, if they could. Two of them dccliued, whilo two others uttuude(l,aud were put through a must trying and sifting examination. Ouo of them complained of being sick before the examination was concluded, aud, upou his owu urgent request, was excused. Thu testimony of the ex-lessee was too Murtling to be kept sieiet. It was soon whispered about, und created great ex- citnmcnt and cousternutiou among the friends of the lease. The testimony docs nut connect Bullock with the transaction, at least us the party for whom the money was to bo raised; nor does it appear that tho money was to be paid to members of iho Legislature or of the lobby. Ex-Gov- ornor Brown, it is said, has un explana tion of this transaction, but it has not been made public, and I do not know a hut it is. He is one of the lessees who dccliued to bo prescut at the examination of the persons alluded to above. TI1K LEASE TO HR SET ASIDE. It is muleistood that the committee will make n strong rnd probably unani mous report agaiust the legality aud valid ity of tlio lease, and that it will report a resolution to ask the Legislature to adopt it, requesting the Governor to institute proceedings in tho propor court to set it aside. It lias already been intimated that the lessees mi« ready to return tho road if the Statu will reimburse them for the im provements they havo mado, uud tlio ad ditional rolling stock they have furnished. Jf the case gt;ts into court, it will proba bly romaiu there many years; for what, with the toiiiousuess of legal proceed ings, the ingeuuity of counsel, uud the nonresidence of some of the lessees, it could he kept afloat for a long time.

Ho devotes a good deni of time and tuouey to see what Middle Geor gia cim do in the way of raising the nee- esHttrios of life. Th* last season he thor oughly prepared four and one-half acres of old lund, and put on ou* hundred pounds of meal aud bone guano and twelve pounds of cotton seed to acre, and sowed iu the “lied and “Tappahan- uock" varieties of wheat, lie had it threshed one day last week ADd it yielded one luiudred aud one-half bushels, tho Red May making twenty-two and one-half bushels per acre, and the Tappahannock thirty-two and one-half bushels per acre. Tlio seed wheat, plowing cutting, thresh ing and manure cost him about twenty- three dollars per acre, aud the wheat is worth fifty dollars per aere, thus leaving a clear profit of tweutv-aeven dollars, or one hundred Aud eight dollars for the patch. But this is not all the profit; he sowed it in clover with his wheat, and there is uow a haudsotue stand, and the atraw as a manure is worth the expenses incurred in raising end gathering the wheat, and in addition to the enriching of his laud, he has made his wheet clear, or two huudred dollar* off of four acre*.— Griffin Fetes. The average yield of wheat in different countries variee remarkably. In Anetrto it is fourteen bnahela per aere; in France and Prussia, seventeen ; in Spain twenty- three ; while in Britain the average yield is from twenty-eight to thirty. Tne yield of barley in Fr*no* to twenty-one bnebeto per aere; in Prnaeto tweoty-flve, nod in England from tbirty-flTO to forty bnahela ptrftoit, Every ninn has homo way of telling the changes of ifce weather, or rnther, having no way of telling what tho weather will be. lie fixes un nume rule and agrees within himself that ho will believe tho weather to bo thus or thus according as his rule dumunds.

When u man suys “I havo noticed for more than forty years that always when," etc., etc., it may be quietly assumed that he has noticed no such thing. He has heat'd some one say this or so ; he has it vague idea that once or twice ho has seen tLo sign come true, but the dozens of times when it utterly failed ho paid no regard to it. It is a common saying that there will come a change of tuo weather with the change of the moon. Now, us tho moon changes unco a week,a change of weather must como some where near u chunge of tlio moon.
