Me. Chase and the Presidency.—
As announced.in the Opinion yesterday
the caucus of the Republican members of
the Convention, held night before last, at
which there were more than eighty mem
bers present, passed a resolution with but
two dis-enting voices, proclaiming their
preference for Chief Justice Chase for the
Presidency in 1S<>S. This resolution was
introduced by Col. HENRY P. FARROW, and
advocated by him in a most happy man
ner in a brief but pointed and impressive
speech. It was enthusiastically received
and passed with but two dissenting voices.
Last night the caucus met again, with
more than ninety members present. Alter
attending to oilier business, resolutions
were Introduced declaring that the resolu
tion introduced the evening previous by
Col. Farbow. and passed by the caucus,
did not express the sentiment of the Re
publican members of the Convention then
in caucus and that U. $. Grant was their
preference for the Presidency. Instantly
voices were heard over the hall, “No,”
*•110," and a motion being made to table the
resolution, lets carried with Out t fire dis
senting voices. .• • 1
Thus we have aucther deuionst"ative in
dication m the preference of the Republi
can Party of Georgia' for Chief Justice
Chase, ^till there are, persohs who have
nicther consistency nor inlluence. who pre
tend to have everything their own way for
Grant. There in rto mistaking where the
-ground-swell"' is. \Ve will endeavor to
procure a copy of the resolittiotn voted
down last night, and ]>resent It to onr
readers.
The Democratic politicians and Con
gressmen. at Washington, are discussing
among themselves die best time and place
for holding the Democratic National Con
dition. Some favor Boston, in view of
t >e late elections there. Baltimore. St.,
ix'iii- and Philadelphia are spoken of.
The Convention will be held. It is thought
very soon after the 20th of May.
An ri'pTTY Modernized.—We learn from
the St. Augustine (TTa.) Examiner, that
after three hundred years existence, that
Ancient Uitjr i* at length able to commu
nicate with the outside world by telegraph,
the wires having readied that plaee from
Jacksonville, and will soon be in active
operation. Our cotcmporary says all they
want now to bring them up with full dig
nity of a city is a railroad.
Senator Hendricks, it is said, will be
nominated for Governor of Indiana by the
Democratic .Convention to be held in In
dianapolis on 'the 8th of January. If
elected, he will resign the Governorship
and be re-elected to the Senate. Efforts are
being made to get up a big Convention.
ZSTTxeO negroes, confined in the guard
house. In Mobile, attempted to escape on
the night of the j-fth, by setting tire to the
wood-woTk of their evil. Prisoners in the
adjoining cells, seared at the prospect of
being roasted in their cages, made clamor
ous but ineffectual appeals to be let out.
The number of hogs received in
Chicago thus far this season, has been 707,-
of wlileh nmnlier -fo.Vitl have been
packed, against H.V24G received, and 101.000
certain .parties la the Northern portion of
the State who have political aspirations,
and a clique in the Southern portion of the
State who seek to line their pockets, have
been farmed and defeated. Other combi
nations, now In process of formation, look
ing to the same ends, had better be aban
doned. They will sink the parties Impli
cated so low that no resurrection can ever
reach them. The exposure of this whole
trick is certain to be made some day. and
then woe unto those men who have partte
ipated in this disgusting scramble.
These men cease to act from Principle,
and resort to expediency and bargainhaak-
ing in politics, they simply become con
temptible. They forfeit the respect and
confidence of honest men of all parties.
Such men are fouud in all political organi
zations, and the reconstruction party of
Georgia has its share.
Where men have acted, by turns, with all
parties. They have no principles. They
care nothing for either the party or the
State, further than both may be made sub
servient to their personal gain; and the
sooner their correct status is known, the
better for all concerned.
Once more we say, that unless a cert/m
clique in that Convention shall abar.don
its schemes of plnnder, and address, itself
to the legitimate work of that body, the
people of Georgia shall know wb'o it is that
is thus retarding the work of reconstruc
tion.

Dull Times is Maine.—The Maine cor
respondent of the Boston Journal writes
gloomily of the (business of that State. He
says:
‘•The fact cannot be gainsayed that, go
where yon may in Maine, business will be
found crippled and the cry of dull times
goes up on every hand. In a recent com
munication 1 have already stated that there
will l»e less lumbering by one-half this
winter than usual. Mention has also been
made of such a prostration in our ship
building interests that hardly a vessel can
be found upon the stocks. Hundreds o f
workingmen are out of employment.
Never before were our manufacturing in
terests in such a state of languish. At our
manufacturing centres either the pay of
employees has been materially reduced or
a reduction in the hours of labor been
made. Several of the leading inaituiac-
turers have joined In the Cleveland move
ment for the discontin nance of the onerous
and unequal revenue tax that now oppres
ses many of our domestic article*, as a
means of relief.”
Isiiam G. Harris in NashviClh.—The
Nashville Banner of Tuesday says:
The Hon. [sham G. Harris is at the Stacy
House. His visit to this city Is of a purely
business character, and will keep him until
tjie end of the week. The rumor mention
ed by us yesterday, and connecting his
name witli the press of Memphis, has no
foundation in fact or intention.
The ex-Governor is looking remarkably
well. His residence in many lands has not
altered his appearance or impaired his
health. On the contrary, we are inclined
to think that his foreign experience, though
it could not have been of the most joyous
at any time, has improved him every way.
The “Good Time Coming.”—In that day
a man shall say to his servant, “ What is the
matter with the baby?” And the servant
shall reply, “It has been sick for hours.”
“And where is its mother?” “She is out
electioneering tor Sftllie Robbins.” And
such conversations as these shall transpire
betweeu ladies and servants applying for.
situations: “Can you cook?” “Yes.”
“Wash?” “Yes.” “All right. Who is
your choice for State Milliner?” “Judy
McGinnis.” “ Well, you can tramp.”
And women shall talk politics instead of
discussing the fashions; and men shall
nurse the baby while their wives go to
the polls to vote. Arid in that day the man
who has beautiful whiskers shall beat the
homely man of wisdom for Governor, and
the youth who waltzes with exquisite grace
shall be chief of police in preference to the
man of practiced sagacity and determined
energy.—Mark Twain.
Verdict Against Gen. Steadmanr—In
a suit in the Federal Court at this place,
brought by Isaac S. Tinkham against Gen.
Steadman, for false imprisonment, which
was decided last week, a verdict of $23,000
packed for the corresponding p“riod last (damages was rendered in favor of the
year. We have & fair (prospect of enting j plaintiff. Mr. Tinkham. a native of Miehl
