The International Bnnday school con vention. in the selection of Governor Co'qnitt as its presiding officer, acted with a wisdom which folly justified itself. The governor never appeared to better ail vantage than when presid ing over this great body. Hia dignified manner and imposing presence were m<~st fit for each an occasion and aneb a body. The unanimity with which the delegates of all sections and all de nominations represented agreed upon this choicr, is an honor which the gov ernor may remember always with j ut pride. He ia a man whose history fi.. ted him for such a position. Liberal in politics, generous in religious belief and conservative in all his opinions, it was eminently proper that he should ne chosen to preside over a body which represented various religious sects, all shades of political opinion and the peculiar ideas of every section of our common country. We congratulate the convention on its choice, and Gov. Colquitt upon the honor which has j tstlv been conferred upon him. Tug N.w Y<irk ban ought to rmp'oy Montgomery B air, Bill Chaodler and Roacoe Gonkling on its editorial staff. They are, without doubt, the three ablest stale.men this coumry affords. Tag Washington Bust is alter Glover, the chairman of one of the investigating committees of l he house. We me; have heard of Glover before, but we don't remember in what connection. Baorngg Bascusa, at the conclusion of bis vsnety performance in Fly- inoutb church last Sunday, spoke very heartily of dying. With all his imag ination, we don’t see bow the man can think about being anyl deader than he is. Old man Thompson—the only piece of mahogany furniture In Mr. Hayes's cabinet—baa discovered that there is harmony be'.ween congress and the administration. In accom plishing this feat the venerable figure head probtbly used marine glasses. MB BAM If. SMALL. A private letter from Mr. Stm W. Small, dated the 8-h Inst, informs us that be arrived in Liverpool on the 31, and in Pans on the 6-.h. He will take up his quarters during his stay in Paris Eogbien-les Bains, a delightful place summer residence about eleven miles north of the city, with which it is con nected by hourly brains. He is delighted with hia surroundings, and is of the opinion that the exposition will be toe grandest of the world’s fairs. His address is 1, Rue Desaix, 1 (an coin de Avenue Huffren.) Pans, France. Mr. Small will send us regular weekly letters, embracing not only matters re lating to the exposition, but touching upon political affairs in Franca. We think we can safely say that his letters will be the clearest and most compre hensive of any sent to an American journal from Ptria. It is stated that Senators Gordon, of Georgia, la mar, of Mississippi, and Garlard, of Arkansas, with Gov. Col quitt, of Georgia, will receive a dinner from the Commercial club of B aton on the 17th Inst. Toere urns', be some mistake about it. Gov. Colquitt has heerJ nothing of it Wa have omitted to mention hereto fore that Colonel Emory Speer ia tire political editor of tbe Athens Watch man. The colonel wields a trenchant pen anil it ia Vo be deplored tl at he is employing it In a dea, erate are) un timely e-Boit to disorganise the demo cratic party in the ninth district. Trig papers have forgotten to stale whether it was Senator Lamar, or his cousin Albert, who loaded himself down with derringers. We ere willing to make affidavit however, that It wasn't Albert, for it he had had any grievance, he would have - alked into tbe Uiica statesman pretty much after the Ilteosr fsrhion. AS if MOSICT. The Merchant's,bark of thin city re ceived yesterday a supply of siivtrcer- titkntee. The bills have the shape of fen dollar greenback bills, and redid on their (see as follows: "Ovrtifichte(of IVp sit. This certifies that there have been deposited with the Awisant Treasurer of the U 8.. at Sew York. S. Y., payable at bis office to the bear er on d.mand, ten i-ilver dollars.'' They are signed by tbe Register of tbe Treasury snd by the Treasurer and countersigned by the Assistant Trea surer. This certificate is receivable for customs, taxes, and all public dues, and when so receivrd may be re-inued It baa on tbe left hand end the vignette of Robert Morris, the first American treasurer. It has been so long since Mr. Morris was in the financial world that they thought it prudent to put his name under hia picture. W» eongrat ulaie the c untry on the appearance of the new ia. ue, and tbe t fleets of this h ultimate it flation of the currency will soon be felt in banners circles. About a year ago Ilia government stocked the rivers fl >wing into the G jh Mexico with shad from tbe eastern rivers. We noticed yesterday for an'e our city a barrel of white shad, from Reaaca, Georgia. They were not large shad, but the regular white shad, such as are caught in the Savannah and Ogeecbee rivers. A gentleman in formed ns that great qwntilies if these young shad have boon caught this spring in the Cocoa, Etowah and Ojstanaula rivers, in traps and uets. This is all wrong; these fUh ought not to be interfered wilh during this season, and no time hereafter after tbe 1st of April. If they were not inter- rnp'.t d in another year, the finest shad could be taken from these waters and abundant supply furnished ior all tbe people along these waier-c jurats. bas been demonstrated ibat any kind of fresh-water fish will fl mrinh in our waters. We hope to see the day when we can get anv kind we want' but it will never come if tbe young fi.b are destroyed before they can spawn. We do hope that some one will see to that all the shad caught in trape along these rivers will be ihrown back into the stream. When the legislature meets a law should be passed to pro hibit tbe people from destroying-these young fish. It would be a very wise and graceful act (or Dr. Felton to allow bis name to go before the nominating convention of the seventh district. If his independ ent candidature was the result of a de sire to bring about reforms in the party machinery,auiely hie success npen two different occasions bas been sufficient to bring them atont. II there were rings to be broken, so ely they are bro ken. In our opinion, if Dr. Felton should pursue this course, he could no' fail of a nomination. He is not only vsry popular pcrsmally, but bis record in congress is absolutely aitbout spot or blemish. 11s fiercely eh quent ar raigument of the gold bags of tbe north and east hss given him u nations! reputation. 11a bas been aatch ful of the ioteresta of bis lion and bis stale, snd he hoe never cast a vote to which re a aonable otj.-ction could be made. We trnst. therefore, for tbe sake of harmo ny and tbe wholeecme c fleet it would have in o.her districts that Dt. Fel.or will anbmit hia claims to the nomina tirg convention. That they would be almost unanimously recogn ard w> hava not tba least doubt. .vsir TOtMS ISfMtriD SrATlSMAX• Such courage as Goakhng’s < ught to be immortal s d. Ue ia brave enough to slander his te los-aenatora in private converselion and to denounce M Htyeeand the fraud that placed him in office, but the great itdepeudent state;man ia altogether too camion; and conservative to ii>e in bis teat tbe senate and give expression to hi; opinions. N >t only this, the instinc' of the cor are so thoroughly developed iu him that heaven denies tbe »a then ticity of the interview, and pee-.endsd when it firs' appeared, that be did not know the author, in tba boa of the lac that I e bad received a tei-gram from Mr. Mines elating that tto d.cument would be given to the pubi c. He stated, moreover, that he aware the electoral was conceived in fraud, and yet when the t'me came for him vote upon it, he was out of hia rest, in seme corner, in ail pvobabPity, slandering hia acquaintances. Saw York oaght to be proqd ol bar intrepid While opposing any mov-meot that has for its aim a mere crouds rgainst Mr Hayes, we are anxious to see the bottom facta with respect to the frauds by which the democratic eradicate for the presidency wee awindled out of his scab The evi dence of them frauds cannot be brought out too early, and tbe inveeti- gallons which it is the duty o! the dem ocratic boose to set on foot cannot bs made too thorough. The campaign which ia to have its culmination in 1880, may as well be inaugurated now aa at any other time, for a desultory chronicler would be kept busy for two yean in recounting the crimes and commenting on the Cor ruption of the republican party. It ia staled that the confessions u( McLtn end Dennis have been forwarded to Washington, in which event the house oi representatives cannot afford to ig- oore them. The public sentiment ol the country will demand an investiga tion, and an investigation will result in a general uncovering of the gross frauds by which the country was cheat ed out of its rightfully-elected presi dent. TUB FLORIDA FRAUDS. It would teem that fate bad a hand the metier. The fraud that resulted tbe electoral commission, and tbe lulntquent seating of Mr. Hayes will not down a! tbe bidding nl John Sher man and his fellow.conepiratore known the “visiting stateemen.” These tucceeded in overawing the Nicholla democracy or in bribing the supreme court of tbe stale, thereby enlarging Kano” Andeison and preventing the trial of that venerable villain J. Mad Welle; and in doing thi- it ia not to be doubled that they fondly dreamed that tbe Iroub'.raome ghoet wae laid. The telegram of sympathy to Anderson, and •be letter of Mr. Hayes to tbe attorney general, written as we have good reason believe, at tbe dictation of Sherman, show the desperation ol tho arch-con spirttora The. know well that any thing like a thorough inves'tgslion the electoral frauds in the three contested states would (eaten the infamy of the crime upon them, and, consequently, they are wil ling to undertake any j -b which will result iu effectually suppressing the evidence of their dirty work. They succeeded to some extent in Louisiana, but redent developments make it ci r tain that they will not succeed else where. It appears that Bill Chandler, who practically had charge of the radictl se in Florida did not m->ke quite cure his men. Several days ago Tux Cos- sTircri >x gut wind of certain de velopments snout to be Florida, aod at once diepatebed a special correspondent, to investigate tbe matter. Oar specie! telegram; from Jacksonville yeaterday and the morn mg show tbe nature of these debtl opmenta: Simnel McLin, one of the radical members of the returning board oae made a clean breut ol the fronds perpetrated by his republican aolleague and himself in canvassing tbe returns, while L G Dennis, whose dtreadneas and cunning as a carpet begger have won him the title cl tne “little giant of Alachua,” bas certified to the well-known (rands at the Archer precinct iu that county. It is probable that the atme motives which prompted Oonkling to have hia attack on Hayes published in what may be termed anrreptitions manner—namely, a lack of official p Urouage -also prompted the confessions of these Fronds worthies hot it ia a mutter of liule moment to .peculate aa to their motive*, as lorg re they have concluded to ease their c, n sciences by on open admission it ell wae charged by tx Governor Brown, in bis argument oef ire the start previous to the canvassing f the telnnw, end that has since been charged by tbe demo cratic press of the country. It ia to be unearned that Bill Chandler, who was in Florida when the crime confessed oy M-.L n and Drams was committed will be glad to learn that h o announce meat that Mr U .yea holds his sea: hronen (rand hoe b*ea to effectually confirmed by ihote whoso knowledge of the facts in the cue is even more titoruoih than that of Chandler him- self. Fur oar part we are inclined congratulate B.11 that, exercising bis usual cunning, he did not utterly aval tbe lips of those whom tbe national republican committee, with old Ztch AS TOllSORPAXDKXT CASDIDATBS A short (ime subsequent to the re cent electiooe for the general assembly in Georgia, a telegram was sent from Washington to various j ournals in the north and west to the effect that tbe independent movement in this state bad assumed formidable proportions and was gaining in strength everyday. The dispatch to which we refer con nected General Gordon’s name without the slightest authority with the movement, and went on to say tbit the break iu tlie ranks of the Georgia democracy was due to the attitude of Mr. Hayee toward the rootb, and was the first substantial fruit of bis south ern policy. Tub Oqmstitction, com menting upon this seusetionsl telegram in a desultory way, pointed ont that •here was no such thing as an inde pendent movement in Georgia and no prospect that there wcnld be. We stated, moreover, that where independents had been elected they were, in a majority oi in stances, as atannen democrats as their opponents and quite as ready to do battle for tbe party. This expression, it appears, has been carefully treasured by C .lonel Emory Bprer, the political editor o! the Athens Watchman, who ia himself a prospective independent candidate lor congress in the ninth dis trict, snd in a recent editorial article in bie paper he is at some pains to refer n; thereto. Unhappily for tbe colonel in this metier, his s-al outruns his discre tion. Ue seems tu forget tbe occasion that called furtb the declaration and Ibe connection in which it was made. When we s'atea that a majority of tbe independents elected to tbe legislature were as g rod democrats as theii opponents, we meant, of corns.', that their candidatures had not been promp ted by a desire to ai. Mr. Hayes in hi- rflurts to build up a third party in tbs south, li was only another form ol tying that they had not been affected by tbe southern policy of tbe adminis tration. Speaking loosely, people say that there were quite a Dumber of inde pendant candidates el cied to tbe leg islature, but tbe troth oi tbe matter is, there are,comparatively,fra'. In a gr at many c >un< rise and in some senatorial districts no nominations were made by tbe party, snd it ia customary, but by uo means correct, to adudu to candi dates elected under such e.rcamstar.ee; independents. Colonel Speer makes the same mistake with teepcei tbe election of Ciptaiu Howell, and parades bis error qnite conspicuously. Aa we have said before, we have s very high regard for Colonel Speer personally and sincere admiration ior his talents, but we think hia crusade gainst the organ-ssd democracy ill- advised, nnwiee, untimely and dinger one, and we shall take pleasure in op posing him moat strennoaily. We have no fears as to the result, for we cannot doubt that the people -the in telligent voters—will prefer a candi date nominated by representative men the party to a man who numina.ee himself.

The lieu of the shootiag as reported to ns are as follows: Just before the time for the train to leave. Colonel Salisbury, Mr T D Huff and CoL Mark Bomdlord were crossing tho platform of :be warehouse, which stands at the stat on, acd were about to board tbe train. Mr. Hoff was in fro it. Colonel Biandford next, and Colonel Salisbury in the rear. Aa they neared tbe light shining across the platform from tbe window ol the tekgraph (fix, they passed three men, one wlou was Dr l'almcr, the other Mr. James Holland, and the third an unknown party. Colonel Bill buiy came into the light, which from the window, a report of a pJs oi was heard, and mother q tickfy followed. Colonel Salisbury fell at tbe first fire.
