A CCkS.'HHLK CRN 1 RES.
A specious argument in favor of the
removal of the’capital toMflledgeville.i*
that that place ia near the geographical
ce..tre of thrt e«ate. Admitting thin to
tie a good argument, the pro|**r thing
to do would tie to move the capital to
Devil’* Half Acre, in I’utnam county,
wh ch ia aaul to lie the true geographical
centre of the state ; hut, after all, what
haregeographicalcentrea tophi withphe
location of tlie capital? Milledgeville
might he even nearer the geiigraphical
centre ol the Mate than she i* and he
even less acceaailile than now. Gen.
ToomtM ftnd* it easier and cheaper
to come to Atlanta than
to go to Klberton, albeit
Kllierton ia only thir.y milea from hia
home. It ir a question of accessibility,
of comfort and convenience, uid when
thane are taken into consideration, the
advantage ia all in favor of Atlanta. It
is |irrliapa too soon to enter into an
argument with onr Milledgeville friend*
in regard to therte ami kindred matter*,
hut it is not too h«nm to aa*ert w hat
everybody knows, that Atlanta ia the
commercial and bn lines* capital of the
state, ami it is not among the proba
bilities that the people will decide that
she is not also the political capital.
WHEAT.
The St. Liuis Republican in noticing
the impression that arrivals of now
wheat are making on the market, says:
M About 70000 bushels of new grain
were received in the city yesterday
from the southern states. It is not
quite up to the standard of No. 2
winter, lint is a fine example of what
the south can do in wheat growing
under favorable conditions. The re
ceipts yesterday, together with the
prospect of still larger receipts from the
AonUiern states, caused a decline of 10
cents a b ishel, the highest bids l«»r N >
2 winter lwung SI 37$ -a little ni «r
than half the price it was run up t<
a few weeks ago. The state of the
market, was furlher illustrated by the
sale of July wheat at SI 25 and August
at SI 21. Evidently, we have a
of cheap bread before us—and cheap
bread is a hieing that cannot lie over
estimated. At first view, ii might
seem to be a misfortune to farmers that
they should have to sell their graiu at
Ipw prices; hut low price* for grain
mean tow prices for other things, so
that, in the end, ttie farmers get their
share of the common bleasing.”

In response to the foregoing, we will
State that the editor of the Express
was probably mistaken in the paper.
He alluded, nodoubt, toananonymon
communication which appeared re
centiv in the Enquirer. As to the
Widow Bedott, we can conscientiously
cay that we enjoy her humors. The
old girl is a* good-natured *s can be,
and her little pleasantries seem V
devoid of all malice. We look etgerly
forward to the time when she will
again caper into print, and show her
eloquent shanks to the public. They
are not a* plump as they might be
but what they lack in p'umpnemt they
make up in limberness.
Those congressmen and politic
who have recommended three or i
applicants for the same office, do not
admire a proposition that is said
under consideration in Washirgton.
As a means of discouraging the dispo
sition of congressmen to in erfm- in
appointments, it Is proposed that the
head* of department* in Washington
spall keep, open tor public inspection,
a register of applicant* lor ctfi{*e, ex
hibiting the name and residence of
each applicant and the name.- of con-
gretwrarn and others who recommend
the appointment. A part ot the | ’.an
is that no commission shall be made
out antil the application ha* been ad
vertised m this public w»v for fifteen
days. It is safe to predict that this ar
rangement will not last long, if the at
tempt is made to pu: it in operation.

'Hie society known as Orangemen is
a secret political and religious society
of the British empire. Its official
designation, upon it* own records, is
“The Loyal Orange Institution.” It is
composed exclusively of Protestants
and it* professed objects are to support
and defend the reigning eovereign of
Great Britain, the Protestant religion,
the laws of the country, the legislative
union of Great Britam and Ireland,
and th* succession to the throne in the
present rova! family so long a* it re
mains Protestant, The Oangemen
also a*«r cute in honor of King Wil
liam III, prior* of Orange, whom* name
they bear, “an supporters of his gto-
T ious memory.” Members are admit-
«*1 into the order by ballot, six-
sevenths of the votes cast being neces
sary to Admission. Every member
mind belong to a subordinate lodge,
ano can only be admitted on
proof that he is over eighteen
years off ng**, and is a Protestant of
known loyally. The-Association Is
divided into five orders or degrees, the
firat ol which is the or*ng« and the
fifth and highest the scarlet degree.
The officers of the lodg*, who conNisl
if a master, deputy master, secretary,
treasurer, and five committeemen,
and who hold office for one year, must
have attained to the scarlet degree. A
memlier who marries a Roman Catho
lic is forthwith expelled. A district
lodge is consti uted of three or more
subordinate loiges, and its officers
have the same titles as the officers of
the lower lodges, with the prefix of
'district.” The district ledge has four
meetings a year. Above the district
lodges are the county grand lodges,
whewn officers bear the title* already
enumerate.!, with the prefix of ‘‘grand”
and are elected by the district
ifficers in the county. The
county grand lodge meets tw ice a year.
There is in each of the three kingdom*
of Great Britain and Wales a grand
Ige which meet* twice a year, and
consii-ls of the grand officers already
mentioned and of a grand committee
chosen by the officers of the county
grand lodges. These grand officers also
institute the imperial grand lodge, at
the head of which is the grand master
of the empire “who is its chief and
supreme head, and whose office is per
manent and uncontrolled ” There are
also gnvid lodges in the principal colo
nies. A collateral order called
the “Grand Black Order of
Orangemen,” or “Royal Black
Knights of the (lamp of Israel,*,
exists within, hut separnte from the
Orange institution, to which no person
has not taken the higher degree*

The battle of the Bovne was fought
in Iti'JO, on the 1st ol July iMtead of
the 12lh. It was a decisive one. It'
settled the succession as between
James II. and Wil'iam III. The Or
ange institution was founded in 17D5
ostensibly to counteract the
Honan Catholic secret lis
ts called “the de
fenders” or “nbbonmen.” These
two associations soon became involved
in hostility and strife, and nearly all of
the peasantry belonged to one or the
other. Whenever the opposing fac
lions met in any considerable num
bers, insult* were exchanged and rioti
often ensued. The law was powerless.
Witnesses were intimidated, and jury
men frequently refused to convict cul-
prits of their own order. In 1828 there
were immense assemblages of the
Orangemen and of the Catholic assoc
atio; s, in the north of Ireland, and
bloodshed was the result. So disas
trous and distressing has been the result
of the demonstrations of the Orange
men that they are forbidden to parade
in the British islands The
institution was introduced
Britis . America in 1829, and in 1861 it
had twelve hundred bulges and snout
one hundred and fiflv thousand mem
lH»rs. Its processions there
illegal and its political iufltien.ee is great.
In I860, an attempt was made to com
pel the Prince of Wales,
his tour through the
provinces to recognize the order and to
pass under its arches and banners.
This tne prince steadily refused to do.
In 1871, the Orangemen of New
York paraded and were attacked, and
sixty lives were lost. They paraded
in 1872, but since then thev have
.levotod the anniversary to social pur
poses. Our readers are alrea !y familiar

tion.
INTERNAL TRADE.
THE STATE UNIVERSITY.
The first annual report on the inter- ; The board of visitors to the State
nal commerce of the United States ^ University, consisting of Messrs. J. H.
covers a wide range of subjects, em- Dunham, Mark Johnston, G. M. Dews,
bracing the economy of transport by j H. C. Mitchell,J. W. Glenn, C. M. Neal
rail, the competitive forces which exert
an influence over the internal com
merce of the country and the principal
commercial movements of the conn try.
The Canadian transit trade and the
growth of direct trade between interior
points at the west and points in Lbe
Atlantic and Gnlf states, and direct
trade between interior points in the
United States and foreign countries,
are fully discussed. The railroad prob
lem is treated of at considerable length,
both as to the United States and for
eign countries. It is said that the value
of the railroads of the United Slates i
.-bout twenty-three times the value of
the shipping engaged in oar foreign
commerce, and that the value of our
internal commerce is twenty-five times
the value of our foreign commerce,
that eighty-seven per cent, of the grain
shipped from the west to the seaboard
daring the last year was transported
on rail lines, and that over ninety
i*er cent of the entire internal com
merce of thT country is on railroads.
Although the total amount of the con
tributions of the government up to the
close of the year 1876 in aid of railroad
construction, unmounted to $144,000,-
000, embracing land grant* and subsi
dies to Pacific railroad*, yet this sum is
only three per cent of the entire cost of
the railroad systsin of the United
States. It is stated that the govern
ment has from its organization collected
elaborate statistics in regard to onr
foreign commerce at great expense, but
that prior to the appropriation for the
preparation of the present work it had
never inatitnted any means of collect
ing information in regard to oar much
more important internal commetce.
The services of sixteen person* as ex
perts have been secured, embracing
secretaries of the boards of trade and
chambers of commerce at the principal
commercial cities of the country. The
report is accompanied by thirteeu
maps, showing the principal commer
cial highways, e ubracing rail and wa
ter lines.
THE FRENCH ELECTIONS.
The best authorities concur in
stating that the elections for members
of the chamber of deputies will proba
bly take place on the 16th of Septem
ber, the recond ballots on the 30th,
and the meeting of the chamber on the
8th of October. Dispatches to the
Loudon Times say that the
list of “official ” candidates will com
prise 230 Bonapartists, 176 Legitimist:
and 117 Orleanists. As the coalition
ministry is made up of the three par
ties named, it is very proper that all
support of republicanism should bv
repudiated. MacMahon lias kicked
away the ladder on which he climbed
to power, and bis future course is very
plainly outlined in the list
candidates that he proposes
to support to the full extent
of his power. The Bonapartists get the
lion's share—a pi .iu ,-indication that
MacMahon considers Eugenie's son the
coming man. The other pretender*
will be put aside when the crisis
comes.
Were it not for the dread of disorder
liich pervades the prudent part of
the French people, the result of the
the coming elections
not be doubtful. No amount
of intimidation could change tLe
result; but the French peasantry lmve
such a fear ot those who would strike
at bo'h pro|»erty and religion, that
they may support the official candi
dates in many instances. This will
doubtless lead to some losses on the
republican side. The republic seems
to be doomed in any event. II Mac
Mahon’s party carries the election, it
ght continue in name, but that
would be all. If MacMahon is defeated,
a revolution or a coup d'etat is almost
certain, either of which would end in
either a clerical government or in
military monarchy. It is the chnrch or
the army ext time, both being now
combined to ernsh the republic, which
they regard as their common enemy.
and H. H. Jones, have submitted their
report to the governor. They state
that they have found the general aver
age of the papers submitted for exami
nation about equal to those of the pre
ceding year, with the exception of the
Greek language. Here a marked falling
*ffia perceptible, owing, as the board
suggest, to the fact that the chair of
the Greek professorship has been left
vacated by the retirement ot Professor
Morris—as a consequence of which
t\e duties have to be performed by
Prof. Waddell, who, not informed
as to the methods and system of his
predecessor, has been obliged to sub
stitute his own, which lma placed the
class at a disadvantage.
The boaid lespectfnlly suggests that
this custom of changing the teachers
under the regular curriculum of the in
stitution, and imposing upon others the
j*erformance of duties foreign to the
department which is their specialty
should be discontinued, as unjust to
both professor and student. In such
case* the professor must first l»ecome a
student and con his lessons before at
tempting to instruct others. And this,
which applies also to the Latin recita
tions of Gen Browne, the board say,
ia not intended to reflect in the least
degree upon Mr. Waddell, who is a
finished scholar, and if assigned per
manently to the chair of Greek, would
fill it admirably.
The board recommend that the chan
cellor of the university be required to
fill one of the professional chairs of the
universitv, aud thus render it possible
to dispense with the services of eome
one of the faculty.
The most careful scrutiny and dili
gent research on the pari of the board
of visitors failed to elicit one scintilla ot
evidence to show that anything like
religious bios or sectarian influence
have disturbed or swayed the delibera
tions of the faculty. Separately anti
collectively they deny any such allega
tion, and affirm that their action has
been harmonious and homogeneous
in every particular. As to the outside
feeling, or the animus of the trustees,
the board say they have nothing to do,
and venture no opinion. The board
state tiiat they would be false to their
mission and derelict to duty, if they
faded to make a solemn
deliverance as to the waning condi
tion of the ancient fane of
science, which should lie the pride and
delight of every <ieorgian. The pres
ent number of matriculates is one hun
dred aud sixty-one, with about one
hundred and forty in actual attendance.
These represent only fifty-three coun
ties, and we regret that the deplorable
fact must be stated that a vast area,
embracing twnty-Jivecoant’es in south
eastern Georgia, is without a single
atudeut. The same is true also of such
counties as Oglethorpe, Elbert, Lincoln,
Columbia, Burke, Hancock, Baldwin,
Jones, Jasper, Newton, Gordon, Meri
wether, Taliaferro, Harris, Muscogee,
Chattaboochre, Stewart, etc. This is a
sad showing when it is remembered
that every county iu the state is enti
tled to one beueficiary for each member
the popular branch of the legislature,
and oesides, there are fifty more who
may be appointed at large upon other
grounds. This would give over 250
who are invited to quaff the pure waters
of this great fountain of knowledge
without money and without price, and
yet the catalogue shows but little more
than half that number, all counted.
The most intelligent judges and the
observation of the board ascribe this
falling off to the persistent twaddle
about denominational influences out
side, divisions in the board of trustees,
personal partisanship, the withdrawal
of Col. Broun, the ill-natured assaults
upon the chancel’or, opposition to the
incumbent of the chair of natural phi
losophy, newspaper animadversions,
the false impressions regarding the ex
pensiveness of a college course here,
and the general disgust and disaffec
tion which such a state of affairs has
engendered. The report, taken alto
gether, is quite an interesting docu
ment.
SOUTHERN REPUBLICANISM.
It is either dead or dying. It nerer
had more than artificial life, which
quickly departed as. soon as the bayo
nets which held it up were withdrawn.
The recent case of Mississippi has
brought the sham n iture of the repub
lican party, so called, of the south into
prominence. The republicans of that
state claimed to have 30,000 majority,
to be in fact mvincipje and all that;
but as soon as the troops marched
away their state committeee met at
Jackson and declared the whole con
cern bankrupt useless *nd powerless.
In their address they say:
Your committee, after carefully considering
tne rituatio:i and prospect, and after a very
general Ooncultation with leading members of
the parly throughout the state have deliberately
couc : uded to rucommeud tnat no state conren -
tion of the republican party shall be held in
MDsixippi this year, anl that no ctudidatea be
nominated. Iu proffering this advice it is not
onr purpose to indulge in a aingie sullen
complaint i or apitefnl crimination.
This virtually annihilates the once
dominant party of Mississippi Theco-
hesiteand at present uncertain power
of federal plunder could not longer
preserve the grotesque fiction, and it
submitted to fate. Sd it will
the other soutuern states. The
republican leaders of Virginia have
already decided to follow suit, nor will
South Carolina prove an exception to
the rule. “The color liud as a voting
line,” say9 the New Orleans Picayu. e,
br- ken forever, and with it died the
republican party.” Attempts will
doubtless be made to peddle *.he odds
and ends of its votes to some faction
leaders, but those attempts will prove
dismal failures. Tlte colored mao will
hereafter vote, not as an organized
unit, but as seems individually best.
Their experience in the republican
party has not made them richer or
better. It stole their savings • hrough
the Freedtnea’s banks, it used iheru as
stepping stones to power aud money,
did not bring in the forty acres or
even the mule; and the negroes will
not be apt to regret its disappearance
from local politics.
I/O NFS TEA ft AND EXEMPTION LA WS
A good many of our exchanges copy
the veritable reports of speeches in the
convention from Tub Constitution
without so much as saying “by your

ought to indicate the source from
which their correspondents draw the

tie Frederick the Great used to
that you must tirM kill him and then
knock him down. He is also very nu
merous. Out of an estimated popula
tion of eighty-two millions, about four
millions can l»e called under arms
every year. And they are so called,
for the Russian army is organized upon
the Prussian plan of compelling all to

Every able-bodied man, twentv-one

One of the difficult question* lor the
convention to settle is the homestead
clau-e in the constitution. It will be
troublesome because different parts of
the state are not in harmony on this
question. The northern part of the
state will oppose the present homestead
and want it left out of the constitution
entirely; the cotton belt want a home
stead, and the delegate* say the people
»f their section will not ratify a consti
tution that does not have a liberal
homestead provision in it. The bank

lowing provision among others:

At 7:30 this afternoon the west bound
train passed Sir John Run all right,and
no further trouble is anticipated from
it. Ir went out uider charge of John
Manford, engineer. There are now
lying here seventy-three locomotives,
nearly all of which have their fires
banked so that they may be readvto
star: after a few minutes notice. The
streets are nearly deserted, and most
of the military have gone to their
quarters. No trouble is expected,
to-mght, and it is probable that bv
noon to-morrow there can be found
p’entv of men to move all the trains.
The arrest of the ring-leader and the
starting of the two trains has precluded
the probability of further trouble from
the strikers. * Vice-President Keyset
and CMonel Sharp have superintended
all movements to-day.
AT GRAFTON
the strikers are determined and des
perate, destroying the company’s proj>-
erty by removing the hose connecting
the* tender and ttie engine. The mayor
of Grafton has issued a proclamation
notify iug the strikers that if they vio
late the law they will be punished to
the full extent of the legal authority.
At Sandhouse, a short distance west
of Martinsbure, the strikers have forti
fied and are over 450 strong.
ALL ALONG THR LINE.
Wheeling, July 19 —The Baltimore and
Ohio railroad strike ha9 now become
general, extending from Martmsburg
to Parkersburg, Ben wood, Columbus,
Newark and Chicago, and is strength
ening its it extends. The strikers in
duced the engineer and fireman of the
only train which tried to leave Mara
tinsbr.rg to-day to desert it. The stri
kers surrounded the militia and they
retired for reinforcement*. The gov
ernment troops are held as yet as a re
serve. Gov. Matthews telegraphed for
more troops.
At Newark and Columbus, Ohio,
freight trains are stopped by the stri
kers, but the passenger trains are un
molested. The railroad officials. have
called on the governor of Ohio for
troops. The telegraph wires were cut
west of Martinsburg by the strikers
this afternoon.
PITTSBURG TAKEN IN.
Pittsburg, July 19.—At noon to-day
the traight trainsmen on the western
division of the Pennsylvania railroad
refused to go out with their trains.
Eighteen trainsarenowin the Penn
sylvania railroad company’s yards
ready to go out, but without crews to
run them. The engineers are in read
iness, but up to this time the company
have not been able to get men to take
clie strikers places.
This strike grows out of the plan of
doubling the number of cars to a train.
Thi«, the strikers say, would enable
the company to discharge half their
number.
UOW PITTSBURG CAME TO JOIN.
Pittsburg, July 19.—When the trou
ble commenced at the outer depot this
morning, a party of strikers lost no
time in getting out to East Liberty stock
yard, and had a conference with the
train and yard men there, which re
sulted in the latter joining the strikers.
Train® were run up the siding
and left there. The strikers then took
possession of the main track and
stopped all freight trains east o: west.
Those coming in from the east were
allowed to proceed after the situa
tion had been explained. In order not
to blockade the main track, it was ne
cessary that some of the stock trains
should be puffed up to the sidinga to
be unlosded, and thi* work was done
i»\ I\*« II mdleeagiaes. None of ihose
belonging to the Peusvlvania r til road
ere allowed to be used. The mam
ack at this point is wholly in the
bn no 8 of the strikers.
A west bon i.d freight train was stopped
it Brin tons this evening by a party of
strikers, who had gone there for that
purpose. The traiu was allowed to
proceed by the men intimating that
they would join the strikers as soon as
they reached th© city.
