THIS PAPKB IS BEAD EVBCV WEEK HZ OSK THOtfSAKD FAStttlfcB ni THE BEST SECTION OF GEOBGIA. am—-—a =- .— 'THURSDAY EVENING, JCLT 24. Mr. and Mis. Wni. Wood, of Wilkin son county, died very suddenly on the 7ih iusfc. of brain fever, there being on ly five hours difference—the wife dying at,2 p. in. and the husband at 7 u. m. Both wore bnried in one coffin. The International Art Exhibit ion was opened at Munich Saturday with grand etiremouy. The action of the French Chamber of Deputies in voting 35,000 francs in furtherance of the Frenoeh participation iu the exhibition was re ceived with much gratification. Cel.. H. H.-J„ of the Telegraph and Messenger, can stop the falling momen tum of a thirty foot ladder, a mechan ic, a kit of tools and a hundred pounds of lead, and yet never even say a “cuss” word, and be is not considered a hard- Lcaded man either. Wfi were glad to see the familiar face cf tbe LaGrange Reporter Monday after an omission of some three weeks. Un cle Sam’s mail service between LaGrange and this place is about five days slack and very uncertain at that. Thk residence of Mr. S. A. E vans, at : Eastman, was struck by lightning du- ’ ring the thunder storm on Sunday eve ning, and slightly damaged. The flash passed through . the weather-boarding into a room where there were assem bled eight or ten persons, on their re turn from church, but fortunately no one was injured by the stroke. The application for a new tiial in the case of Hill, convicted of the murder of Mr. Simmons iu Atlanta, came up for a hearing be.fore Judge HiPyer at nine o’clock Friday morning. It was finally refused, and the prisoner was sentenced to confinement at hard labor in the pen itentiary for life. An appeal to the su preme court will be taken. Political disturbances continue in the Haytien Republic. Quiet has been restored at Port-an-Prince, but at the cost of a considerable number of lives. Several prominent politicians were among the killed, and fighting was still going on between the towns of Gonaives and St. Marc. On Friday last a man threw himself across the track of the State road and was run over and killed by the 11:55 a. m. passenger train as it was approach ing Atlanta. It turned out to be Mr. Max Franklin, Jr., a clerk in the Inuse of Mr. M. Franklin, on Decatur street. He was a great cofferer from mental de pression, and he took this method of ending his existence. A second .great Sensation has follow^ ed the submission of the report of the wiid laud committee at Atlanta. These are the facts briefly-:—‘Tt seems that 'the report of the wild land committee did not exonerate Comptroller t mil'll ss much as he desired that it should and he piepared a paper com pletely exonorating himself, which lie endeavored to ge; the committee to sign. Messrs Chandler, of Hall, and Mound of Talbot did so, and it was de sired to get the signature of Mr. Davis of Baker. Mr. Davis refused to sign the pa per. Mr. Hinton Wnght then ofiered Da vis two hundred and fit tv dt liars and nit ofclothts if be would i Lice his mure on tbe paper. Davis relused his offer. He then approached Mr. Strickland of Clinch, offering for his signature one hundred dollars. Mr. Strickland also re jected his offer. The committee inves tigated the matter and Wright admitted that he offered to pay Davis and Strick land if they would attach their names to the paper. Wright says that he was not authorized to do so by Comptroller Goldsmith but did so through friend ship to the comptroller. Messrs. Chan dler and Maiind, when they learned the facts had their names taken from the paper. The House of Representa tives voied on Friday to instruct the judiciary committee to prepare an arti cle of impeachment against comptroller Goldsmith based on *he renoit of the wild land committee.” Wright will be punsilied lor an attempt to bribe mem bers of the bouee. He should be made an example of, aiid severely dealt with, hut as to Mr. Goldsmith w« thiuk the impeachment proceedings unwarranted | by the evidence adduced before the committee, and an unnecessary expense to the State. We have examined the printed reports of the proceedings of the committee carefully, and have failed to find any evidence to connect Comp troller General Goldsmith criminal)y with either the frauds on the State and wild laud owners or the attempted bri bery, He was, to say the least, unfortu nate in the selection of such a friend as Mr. Wright to manipulate the commit tee, and the pc-opte will be loth to be- ■ lieve that the- offers would not have been indorsed by Mr. G., if the members had accepted the bribes, especially as it is alleged that Mr. W did not have money to be dividing around so liberal ly and disinterestedly. We must in candor say that Mr. Goldsmith has borne an irreproachable nnmo in private life,—is an earnest Sunday Seliool worker, and has been re garded as the type of a Christian gentle man. We were never more favorably impressed with a man personally, and we i-egnt what now seems to be his political Tbe dispatches from Paris regarding the succession to the claims of Prince Napoleon, lately killed by the Zulus in Houston SSierifPs Sales. a , n a r - „„ Will be sold, in the town of Perry, South Africa, causes many questions to Houstoil Cotm ^ before tbe be asked abbnt the relat.-ons-hm of the a io be asked abbnt the relationship of the Gold- pait'es named. Kapok on Bonaparte was the son of a Corsican gmtlzman, Carlo Maria Bona parte, and his wife, Maria Letizia Ro- moiiuo. They had thirteen children, of vi hom five sons, Joseph, Napoleon, Lucien, Louis and Jerome, and three daughters, Elisa, Pauline and Caroline, readied maturity. Of these, after .Na poleon became Emperor, he made Jo seph King cf Naples and afterwards of Spain, Lucien, Piince of Canino;Louis, King of Holland, and Jerome, King of Westphalia.* The succession was set tled by Napoleon, first to his own de scendants, they failing, to the children of his brother Louis; on the extinguish ment of that line, to the descendants of his brother Jerome. Napoleon’s son, known as Napoleon 11., having died iu 1832, Louis Napo leon, the List surviving son of KiDg Lotus, of Holland, became Emperor on the re-estabiishmeut of the Empire 1852. The exile and death of Napoleon 111., and the death of his only son, the Prince Imperial, are of recent histo- A NEW CAPITOL. At a meeting of the Bonapartisls Paris on Saturday, Prince Jerome Na- polaon was delared the head of tbe par ty in France, The London journals copy a speech reported to have been de livered by the Prince to a Bonapnrtist deputation, and which is said to be a manifesto of his political policy. The Conslitulionnel and -So!eil, of Paris, deny the authenticity of the report. Mr. Iverson Sanders, iiving about five miles from Hawkinsville, was on Tuesday last accidentally shot and kill ed by his nearest neighbor and closest friend Henry Sparrow. They were pre paring to go fishing, aud were mailing their arrangements at Sanders’ house, when a shot gun which Sparrow had in bis lap was accidentally discharged, the contents entering the left breast of San ders, causing his death in a few mo ments. The deceased leaves a wife and four children, It has been ascertained by actual, sci entific'survey that tbe surface of tbe water at the mouth of the St. John’s river, Florida, is cnly three feet six inches lower than it is two hundred and fifty miles above. In other words, the river has an average fall of less than a sixth of an in inch to the mile. Anoth er singular fact worthy of consideration is that it has a course—taking the many meanderings into account—of between three hundred and four hundred miles, yet its source is not more than twelve miles from the shore of the same ocean into which it empties itself. We are sorry there seems a disposi tion iu the Legislature to prohibit At lanta from carrying out her self-imposed obligation to build a new capitol. As that city seems anxious to carry out the contract in good faith, we don’t see any reason why she should uot he permitted to do so. We are now iu favor of At lanta as the permanent capital of Geor gia, aud we are loth io believe that its offer to build a -new state house was only a trick to catch votes. The pres ent opera house will do for a few years longer, but Atlanta should be allowed to build a new capitol in the next ten years, and no obstacle should be thrown in her way. Yet to have a real first class building we are williug for ourself to pay two-thirds of the cost out of the State treasury, but to cut the Gate City off with only a donation of a paltry §65,000 in bands' to the State in lieu of her magnificent offer made'direct to the people, would be an insult to her citi zens which they will no doubt spurn with the greatest l omempt. Of course they wili he williug to .pay one-third the cost of a million dollar state house, and we will let her have the opera house back again cheap for cash. Jerome Bonaparte first married a very wealthy and beautiful lady of Balti more, Elizabeth Patterson, by whom he had one son, Jerome Napoleon. This marriage was annulled by the Emper or, who forbade the wife of Jerome from entering France. Jerome, after he became Ring of Westphalia, married Catherine, a daughter of the King of Wurtemburg, by whom he had another son, (also called Jerome Napoleon, who died in 1847. Jerome and Catherine also had another son, Napoleon Joseph Charles Paul, now known as Prince Na poleon, who resides at Paris, Jerome Napoleon, a grandson of Jerome and Elizabeth Patterson, was an officer in the French army, but on the fall of the empire returned to the United States, where he now resides. Prince Napo leon, who is now legally heir to file claims of the Napoleonic dynasty to the French throne, is a republican, but has always been looked upon by that party wiih suspicion. He has lately taken the name of Jerome also. He has two sons, one of whom may be selected by the Impe rialists as their leader, but they are yet. mere school boys. The Bonapartists are evidently in great doubt and perplexity, and as the republic seems to be firmly established at present, they may employ their time for the next decade in fixing upon a leader.

Mr. Ramsey is a man sixty-five years of age, and a native of Pennsylvania. In 1849, while holding public office in that State, he was appointed Governor of the then Territory of Minnesota. He entered the United States Senate in .1863, and servedlcr two torms. He was defeated for a third term by a com promise candidate, for the reason that lie was considered as too radical in his politics and as favoring a third term for General Grant. He went out of the Senate with the wave that carried ont Zach Chandler, Logan The Legislature has. not yet, we be lieve, finally disposed of any business. An immense number of bills on every conceivable subject have been intro duced, aud it is thought that the body will uot adjourn until next fall. Our space will not permit a synopsis of the proceedings, and indeed anything but a fail report would scarcely.be intelligi ble, aud that would involve the reader iu endless study or confusion. The members seem to vie with each other iu the multiplication of business', hut the tax-payers will have the consolation to foot the bill. We believe the State and people would be tbe gainer every w*v if ( Le legislature. would now ad journ sine die, for there is little legisla tion needed that can be a benefit, and from present indications much barm is likely to be’done. The Legislature seems determined not only to nullify the constitution so far as it allows only biennial sessions, but to spend all the money in the treasury, aud throw away the claims due the state. Nothing, however, bnt a yellow fever epidemic can make it adjourn. Columbus, Georgia, calls itself (he “Lowell of the South,” and making al lowance for the long start of the North ern city, the title is not so much a mis nomer as some others with which local pride has glorified itself. Columbus has §3,000,000 invested infeotton man- ufactunn. Five large cotton mills are in operation, three controlled by one company, running 1,600 looms* 45,000 spindles. Columbus has admirable fa cilities for manufacturing; the water power of the Chattahoochee is excellent, the fail for three miles above the city being one hundred and forty-seven feet. There are in Georgia at Present, forty- seven cotton-mills in active operation. «««. Willow Lake Nursery, HOUSTON COUNTY, S. H. RUM PH, Proprietor.

GHR STSAN INDEX SERIES -OF— BIBLE QUESTION BOOKS It is said that Secretary Sherman’s contribution to the Republican cam paign fund only amounts to one hun dred dollars. This is said to be “ii tie more than one-half the proportion as sessed upon the clerks of bis depart ment. .They pay two.per cent, of their salaries, while the Secretary’s contribu tion is only one and a quarter per cent, of bis . salary.” Moreover, Sherman has a large-private fortune and could afford to contribute handsomely, and as it is “his funeral” that is to be celebra ted in the coming elections, he ought to be disposed to do something gener ous.
