It Olio Yo»r in n<lvnnc H.on hmwir M. T. Jok*M>*. The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel wyn its information is that Go?. Johnson will gtvo Mr. Greeley his support as a choice of evils, and there is no prospect Whatever of his lending any aid to Grant. fkarlca OToaor. Mr. O'Conor, according to telegraphic report, has refused to permit the use of his name by the Blanton Duncan mis- chief.iuakera to create a diversion in fa* vor of Grant. We have never entertain* ed the apprehension tbst he would do so, as we took occasion to say when his name wan first publicly suggested. This an nouncement will probably seriously inter fere with Blanton's programme, and drive him to the expedient of advertising for a reliable candidate- unless he and Brick Pomeroy conclude to accept the honors themselves. And why not ? They have worked np their “convention" almost alone, and they are better entitled to its consideration than any one else. Per haps the people cau appreciate perse vor* ance such as tbeira. At all events, it would aceui that they must either mako a personal matter of it or submit to the to tal and ignominious failure of their dar ling scheme. Even Seward, it is said, who has long personally bated Greeley, will not declare himself for Grant, but maintains silence in reference to his choice. It is not ex pert ed that he will, in any eveut, support Greeley. The company engaged iu the work of gottiug up a eottou factory in Savannah have secured the amount of subscriptions needed, and organized by the election of Thus. Arkwright as President, and E. J. Homan as Superintendent. Work on the factory building will be commenced at once. The Lumpkiti Tileyraph of the 21at inst. reports fiuu crops in ita county, but hu)s that “the worm and calorpillsr are making their appearance in every part of the county, and have already coiumeuoed their work of destruction. The farmers are very much alarmed that their visions of fine returns from uu abundant hsrvost are so soon to bo cut off by this terrible dostrojer." It hopes that the reports are exaggerated. The Kadicul Statu Convention of South Carolina, which met IsHt week iu Colum bia, did not disappoint those who wauted u disruption. Ex-Gov. Orr was followed from the Convention by nearly half the delcgatcH, after Moses' nomination for Govoruor. The regular Convention then completed th«>ir ticket by nominating Francis L. Cardoza, native mulatto, for Treiumter ; Solomon L. Huge, (white) from Ohio, for Comptroller General ; II. W. Purvis, (mulatto) from Pennsylvania, Adjutant General J. K. Jillson, (white, from MsssacliUhcttH, .Superintendent of Educatiou. The ltepublicaua of the Congressional Distnet nominated Alouzo J. Hauser, native inululto, for Congress. The bolters' Convention organized with nearly as many delegates, and nom inated a State ticket headed by ltouben Tomlinson, (while; of PonuHylvnuis, for Governor, aud Judge J. T. Green, Uvhite native; for Attorney General. Tho Democrats and Libenu oiblicanH have yet to make their nominai.ons. The “Union Lincoln Guards,"an armed colon d volunteer company of Savannah, had a parade in that city on Friday night, on which occasion they were followed by a crowd of negroes who acted in a disor derly manner. Among other acts of out- rage, this crowd following the company assailed a congregation of white citizens coming out of church, sinking the minis ter wtka brick-bat, and driving tho party into a Htore for protection. Thero was quite a panic in Kavannab, on Saturday, caused by a report that it bad been discovered that the boef iu the roarket-bouhe hud been poisoned. Many a choico roast and steak were thrown away in consequence. The report orig inated in the discovery that one of the butchers had rubbed some arsenic on scraps of beef left in his stall at night to poison ratK. He was arrested for the dan gerous sport. The Borne Courier understands that the Atlanta Mhiy, the Grant organ in Georgia, is making arrangements for the establishment of a “straight-out" Demo cratic paper in Borne. Comment i* un necessary. Sergeant Bell, of Co. E, U. H. Artillery, stationed at Fort Palaski, was nearly beaten to death on Saturday last, in Sa vannah, by one Logan, formerly a convict confined in the fort. Logan beat Bell with a chair, knocking out all bin teeth and breaking all the boneH about his mouth. Ilia condition is considered dan gerous, and the brutal assault has caused much indignation. Logan baa been ar retted. Adjosrnmest oftke LrfUlitar*. The Legislature of Georgia adjourned at a late hour Saturday night, after a see sion of thirty-five days. President Tram- mell of the Senate, and Speaker Camming of the House, made foaling farewell ad . dresses, in response to resolutions of rMianks. Senator Hinton, President pro teni, also replied in a handsome manner to the resolutions of the Senate. Wo learn that the Election bill, as final ly passed, provides for sn election on the first Wednesday in October for a Govern or and memberH of the Legislature : for an election for Congressmen in Novem ber, at the time of the Presidential elec tion ; and for an eleotion on the first Wednesday in January for oounty officers, Ho that we are to have three general elec tions within four months. Lively times ! We believe that the bill parcelling ont the Agricultural Land Borip failed in the e. The fate of other measures of general interest, or of local interest to this section, baa been noted in onr daily ppvsiH to be iHtncrdcd that Gov. Jaoob im re-elected, end it is hdiertd j tbst the new constitution bun been detest j »j» n ( ed. As we have heretofore explained, the j lot out election lias uo party significance. Both the candidates for Governor were Demo crats—Camden, the Democratic nominee, being all the time openly for Greeley and Brown : and Jacob, the “independ ent," having announced himself for the Cincinnati and Baltimore nominees after he had, by a nou-cominittal course, made sure of tho support of the liadicsls aud * 'at r night-out’ Democrats, neither of whom had strength or confidence enough to nominate a candidate of their own.— Jacob, kUo, at the eleventh hour, declared himself in favor of the adoption of the Cotuititntion, thus placing himself upon the as me platform of Htate policy as that of his opponent. The true secret of this IsHt eleventh-hour auuouncetneut was probably this : He had HMiurance of tho support of the party opposed to tho Con stitution, Hud that usHtiranco gave him a liable bopo of election ; but if ho had boeu chosen, aud the constitution hail beeu defeated, the election would have amounted to nothing, aud a new election would bate to l>e hold soon under the old constitution, 'therefore it was to hiN iutorent, believing hiH election ante, to have the new Constitution adopted rh a means of aecuriiig to him tho results of tho election. Another cunningly contrived issue, which operated to tho detriment of I lie Democratic nominee, whs a clause of the constitution, separately submitted, which restricted tho right of holding office to “white' citizens. It is said that this clause was thus submitted to iip|>ea»e the “Bourbons" aud reconcile them to the support of the Democratic ticket, but that it failed to have that effect, aud only in jured the Democratic party thut ordered its submission. The clause, as we are ad vised, was defeated by mu overwhelming majority—neither the Democrats or the Bndieuls giving it support. It will thus be seen tbst tho election was u complicated, «utaiiglcd. and ull gethor irregular one, but (list all the cot binatiotis and advantages were against the regular Democracy. Until wo are defi nitely advised as to the fate of the ue Constitution, we cannot say whether at party or faction hus practiuully made any thing by it. Deference 1ms already been made in these columns to tho controversy between President Grant aud H. J. Bowen, ex- Mayor of Wtudiiugtou mid a Bopuhlmau, in reference to the sale of n house in Washington city. Tho hoiiao was tho one presented to Gen. Grant by some of his political friends prior to his election to tho Presidency. After his election ho agreod verbally to acII it to Bowen for $ In,uoo, and took from Bowen $1000 cash to cliuch the burguin. Ho far there was no dispute. A fewr days afterwards Bowen wrote to him asking what furniture ho would like to dispose of with the house; and in reply to this Grant inform ed Bowcu that ho considered himself at liberty to cancel tho side if he saw tit,and thut he bad concluded to cancel it. Bowen replied to this that Grant hud only expressed a wish that the contract might remaiu open nntil Congress acted upon u proposition to reinstate Gen. Grant in tho position of Gotiorul of tho Army after tho expiration of the Presidential term to which he hod been elected, aud that Con gross having fulled to legislate aa expected, and Gen. Kberuian having been appointed General of tho Army, he (Bowen; consid ered thut contingent reservation as not aside. Gen. Grant, in his reply, did not deny Bowen a statement m regard to the contingeut reservation, Imt said that it would put him to much iucunvonionoo to sell the house without tho furniture, and that other parties wore proposing to buy the house for Gen. Sherman. Iu thin letter, instead of insisting on his right to cancel tho m*1o, he he asked ilou-t n to lease him from it, for his aud Gen. Sher man's accommodation. Mr. lioweu an- nwerod, positively deeliniuiug to release Grant. Four days afterwards, tho l'reai- dent elect conveyed tho pro|>erty to Gen. Sherman for the sum of $<;.7,U0U—other parties furnishing the purchase money. The corre*|*mdence from which we glean the*.** facts is published in full iu the Washington Capital of tho 24th iust., aud the Capital editorially gives the se quel, which we copy aa follows: But Bowen did release the Pres.dent, and (he consideration for such release, es we havo charged before, was the official patronage of tho District of Colundnu. The people President Grant hud select for tho various places of honor and trust were thrust aside, and Bowen's friends quartered on the Treasury. We know this to be the fact, and now, in proof of it, we quote Bowen himself, and as the evideuco tells against tho witness it can be received without doubt. S«ylaa J. Bow• u says, in a letter addressed to the President aud published in the Transcript of this place ; “Before executing a quit claim dead, however, which was douo April 1, 1803, a< the record shows, and six weeks subse quent to the date of your deed to Sher man. 1 receivt-d a message from vou that no recommendation of mint conUl be eon- sidcred and no fators besUaeed on any friend of mine till the contract teas can- ctllid." Thus, for and in consideration of $2.7,- 000, the offices of the District were dis posed of. We have uo epithets with which to characterize this trannactiou—no comment or criticism to make. We give the caso aa the records preseut it. Over fifty halos of cotton were sold in Macon, on Monday, at 18fr*l8jc. The New Orleaua Republican says that Graut is coming out for Greeley-'on * 4th of March. Abrikts ron Ku-Kluximo.—United States Marshal Blacker, on last Wednes day. arrested Pierco Morgan and Taylor Stinson while peaceably at work In Liv- ingaton District of this oounty. They ware arrested under a warrant from the Federal Court, chargod with being Kn- Klnx. The Marshal haa gone back to the same neighborhood with hia assistants for others. It will be remembered that the Federal Court found true bills against some tan or twelve men in that vidnity, some eight months sinoo, and we under stand theee are the parties Marshal Blook er is now arreeling.

Tho prospects of tho State Fair, pro posed to bo held at Oglethorpo l'ark, iu (lotobcr next, are said to bo very gratify ing.

Tho officers of the Agricultural Hocioty havo engaged tlm most improved tractive eugiuu for the purposes of the Fair, iu tho exhibition of the various implements and machines, the A voting snd Fortcr-putent farm ami rood locomotive. It is thought thut tho Fuir will bo one of tho most attractive, and by far the most instructive exhibition of the kind ever held in Goorgia. A now feature mid u particular one, too, will bo added, which will not only introduco tho implement and tho results of industry, but to u degree uot hitherto kuowu.— There will be shown the processes of in dustry, “the workman performing his work." This peculiar festuro is of great importance, aud no doubt will attract marks of attention. All tho arrange ments connected with the Fair are under way, and are being perfected as rapidly os possible. It will thoroughly advertiso abroad as well us at home. Many induce ments are offered to visitors.—Atlanta Herald. A Nf.w Ksterfuimb.—Mr. Kobt. Bunk er, of Rochester, New York, has recently received from Japan about twenty egga of tho Japanese silk worm. A great pro portion of these have hatohed, and Mr. Buuker thinks the enterprise one that will pay handsomely. This silk worm does not feed ou the mulberry, bat ou the common oak leaves, which it devours with great voracity. In aizo it is about twice us largo as the ordinary silk worm, aud its cocoon is in the same proportion.

It is a contest between tho fricuds of true government uud the open ouetuiew of Constitutional 1*W and lihetty. It is u contest which, as it widens and spreads, will shake parly organizations to their futittdu'ion, bcouuso it is a contest of the people independent of parly association or requiicinciitH.

In al most every family in tho oountry there are several children or grown dan( who would find the beet part ol home edaoation in a pursuit of this kind —an occupation more remunerative and far lee* demoralising than the perusal of the Jnok Shepard atylt of rowMMte mi -tnmir.i.i. si mint. Huuie days ago we received a statement of tho facts of this long-pending case, made and published by Ex-Gov. Brown.— It is hcahu that wo never understood, or investigated with a view of making our selves conversant with it, notwithstanding tho iuterest of the Htate in it, and the hoalcd controversies it haaelicited. Gov. Brown's statement is rather too long for the space that we can now devote to it, and we therefore avail ourselves of a com pendium of its |Hiiots and fsota, made tip by tbe Augusta Constitutionalist. Wo do tlAs UucaUHo we suppose that onr readers, like ourselves,desire information on thu sul)joct,at thu same tlm* advising them that Gov. Brown has been of counsel on unu side aud a promoter aud advocate of tho oottlomeut which his statement do- feud*: First—Samuel Mitchell conveyed five acres of loud (the Fork property; to the Mute of Georgia “for placing thereon tho necessary bunding:* which may hereafter be required for public pitr|»oM0«t at the ter minus of the hute Ruad." in the satno deed Mitchell also conveyed for tbo use and purpose of said road a space in breadth through his lot wide enough for a light of way. with the privilege ot Inking fiom hi* land timber, stone, uud gravel tor purpo se* of counttucttun. Mitchell ui*o some Hum afterward granted right of way to the Macon and Western Rarimntl through an other poitioti of his lot aud conveyed it tor railroad purposes exclusively. Subsequently tho Mule swapped off a portion ul lliu land thus conveyed to her, to tbu Macon Hit.I Western Road, lor a piece of land owned by the latter, nnd on it tbe Htalo placed Ler Weight depot and plait , to the heir* of that benefactor. Certainly the Htate ought to be satiafled with tho settlement. The heir* of Mitchell reoeived at least thirty thousand dollars in oath, and they expresned themselves satiafled. Kimball, who octod M agent of the heir*, and advanced money, paid expen se* end took *11 the risk of loo* in o*m of failure, may be presumed to be satiafled. Tbe attorney* employed in the oese, •nd who usually, a* such, do not work for the mere love of excitement, were proba bly well compensated for their trouble in this knotty litigation. It i* presumed they are satisfied. We hear of no litiga tion among them for unpaid fee*. There being sufficient aound and honor able reasons why the Legislature ahould have quieted title* and put on end to liti gation in the way it did, it is unphiloeo- phical to assume tbst it toted from oor- rupt motives. Until the contrary ap pears, it ia but just to aaaume that tho legislation was not only wiae in itself, but that it waa fair and honorable. Bora Drask. Among the names registered at the Toomba the other night waa of a youth about fifteen years of age, who bad boon arrested (or arunkonnees. But be was not drunk, nor bad be been drinking. He was moreover, in good, sound health, but gave all the external indications of beiog intoxicated when arrested by a po lice officer. Upon protesting to the keep er of the Toombs tbat he was not intoxi cated, it was revealed that the unfortu nate youth bad been born a natural drunk ard, or rather (bathe had always acted liko such a thing, lio said that, although in good health, he had never been able to walk without staggering. His speech was not uuliko that of persons in a state of in toxication ; and when excited he would mutter and reel. Tho unfortunate youth was detained until the next day, and was pu,. ils. not scut to tho courts to be gazed at thro' . , ... . „ , , judicial spectacles. A subsequent invea- lio Mucou and W estern Road located j tigationuf tho case provod that tho lad bail . put upon tins Mitchell litnd, which | M , en teUinp; tii<5 truth ubout himself, but ' , ! hi* condition rovualed a demonstration of that natural law that tbe child ia a fair oopy of his parent.*. It appeara that pri or to marriage, tho father had been a se cret but confirmed inebriate, aud wheu tbe facts became known to the woman thus suddenly snd unexpootedlv, she wept in the most terrible manner. Almost bro ke n-hearted, sho contemplated the future misery iu store for bor. Months passed away, when it was discovered that tho child at thrue yours of ago acted strange ly. and at the uud of six months the un happy woman fully realized allhor forebo dings. Thu offoct produced upon tbe mother was not without its influence upon tho fathor, however. Realizing, in the midst of tears of bitter anguish, the tin that had bueit visited upon the ohild, tho man reformod. Ho has now several bright children, and most exemplary ones, too, they aro. But tbe boy that was bro't into tbe Toombs was not drunk, but bos entailed upon him a life of misery, as it was a blasted destiny. Tbr Nrw Klfftlon Law.

Aud thu city agreed to convey to the Mitchell hflini tho property hut weon thu proseut paraon- gcr shed und Alabama street, extending lo Lloyd street, which was originally con veyed to the Htate and by it swapped off. Huvuuth—Kimball contracted to buy out tho rightH of the heirs, but subse quently tbst contract was cancelled, and ho acted under coutract as their sgont. lie offered to pay the State $37.,not) for thu claim to thn land. To thin ex-Gover- nor Brown objected and advinod against, clHiuiing that the heirs had tbe better ti tle ; but Kimball snd tbe hoirs preferred tin* settlement to interminable litigation, and the matter was brought before the Legialaturo aud carried. Kx-Oov. Brown took no active part in tho matter, but when approached advised its acceptance by tho Htate as s very liberal settlement of the litigation for her. Eighth—Tbe offer of Austell k Co. of otio hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) to the State for a quit claim title wus not ns good a proposition for tho Htate as thirty-fivo thousand dollars ($3.7,000) from the heirs. First, because the quit d dm to Austell k Co. wonld not relieve thu State from litigation. One-fonrth of the passenger oar abed, whioh cost the Htnto about one hundred and fifty thou sand dullara ($1.70,000), stood on ilitobeU bind tbe State conveyed to the Macon and Weateru Railroad, and the latter to the city of Atlanta; and the lattor, by the com prom iso, oonveyed to the Mitchell heirs. Tho Htate oonld be ejected from thut land. This would be litigation No. 1, and w onld in tho end be an enormous loss and expense to tbe Htete. Heooud, becutiHo the heirs of Mitchell, if they could uot rooover tbe Perk property from Austoll k Co. by sail, could at least re- atruin them by action of covenant, or other proper legal proceeding, from put ting it to unv other uso than for railroad purposes. Tbia would bo litigation No. 2. Thus the pro’ierty would havo re- iiiuined unimproved, and would yield no taxes to eity or couuty, or to tho State Treasury erty i* being built upou, aud the will bo that probably a million of dollars of property will be created and liabla to be taxod whioh in a pecuniary view wonld of itself be of far more advantage to th* Htate, thau the extra aixty-flve thousand dollar* ($r.7»,000) from Auatell A Go.— This consideration is in addition to tha oouaideration of eooapc from litigation Number One.
