The great labor war that has just been
I creating such an excitement throughout
I the country, is beyond all question, the
I fruit of the same Radical spirit that orig-
j inated the Abolitionists party. Indeed,
a communist acknowledges as much in the
I following, which we clip from an cx-
| change:
“The means that wo expect to adopt in
henefitting workingmen are summed up
t a word, namely, what I call the ‘ex
propriation’ of property. We shall, by
the ballot-box, get control of the Legis
lature, and then we shall appropriate to
the State all property. The State will
run' the property for the benefit of the
People, just as it now ‘runs’ the postal
service, the army and the navy. The
property belongs to the! State, and the
State should have the control of it. Let
■ue make myself clear. We are going to
act just as the Abolitionists acted a few
years ago. They agitated, and agitated,
and then had their own way. The South
erners wanted to keep their sie ve prep
ay. The Abolitionists said that it was
U"t right to do so; that it should not be
lone. They out-voted the Southerners,
anil therefore became the Government.
The Southerners resisted, rebelled. The
Government ‘expropriated’ their slave
property. J-Now don’t you see that the
workingmen are in slavery, and .that the 1
capitalists own them! But we’intend to
4° iust shat the Abolitionists did: first,
agitate; and secondly, to become in the
majority, and bo to become the Govern*
Mcnt ofjhe country.”
There is a theory that nations, like indi-
' vlduals, sometimes become insane. Such
harrlhld examples jagtUeJ&eif^t Revolu

We make the followin extract from
tho Finance Committee’s report to t’ae
Convention. After stating that the
General Assembly shall have no au
thority to pay bonds which have been
pronounced illegal, the report goes on
to say:
Sec. 1C. The bonded debt of the
State shall never be increased; and no
new bonds shall be issued except to
provide for the retirement of such
bonds ns shall become duo before it is
practicable to pay them by taxation.
Sec. 17. The following described
bonds of the State of Georgia are legal
and valid, ami their legality and valid
ity shall never be questioned, and the
principal and interest thereon shall be

race all the legal valid bonds of the
State, and all others are illegal, null

SUPIIKME COURT JUUCES IN IIIF-

Last Tuesday, in the State Convention,
when the question of granting the Gen
eral Assembly of the State power to ap
point two additional Associate Justices of
the Supreme Court, Mr. Mathews, in ar
guing in favor of the question, said:
‘I have before me a list of the States
as to the organization of their courts.

STRIKING ITEMS.
The jails at St Louis are full of
rioters. <
The great labor strike that has con
tributed such an exciting chapter to
American history, is fast subsiding.
And thu9 the attempt of the laboring
class to advance their own interest by
resorting to lawless measures has re
sulted, as it must always result, to their
own injury as well as to the injury of
all others.
Walter Kichline and Edward Sur
as, the two leaders of the striking
firemen on the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western Railroad, presented them
selves before Superintendent Reasoner
on Monday, and admitted that the
strike was over, and their efforts had
been unsuccessful.
Stokes, the murderer of Jim Fisk, is
at Cape May, bathing daily in the surf.
Wbeneyer he goes into the vea a crowd
of ladies invariably make it conveni
ent to be near to catch a sight of the ex-

the hotel. Jennie June writes of the
prevalentfemale curiosity to see Stokes:
“Two young ladies, curious to have a
nearer view were induced to go farther
out than was safe, and, stumbling into
a hole, found themselves beyond their
depth and exposed to a swift current
that defied their efforts to get into shoal
water. Fortunately the brother' of one
of the ladies was close by, and, afford
ing the necesary assistance, he spoiled
the romance of what might have been a
rescue of two females by a man whose
name possesses an unenviable promt
nence from his having been tried for his
life, and in a felon’s cell served out the
term of his sentence for manslaughter.”
It is not improbable that the youngs la
dies fell into the hole purposely.
The estimates of the Agricultoral De
partment place the total of the wheat
crop of the United States for the present
year, at upwards ef 325,000,000 bushels,
65,000,000 bushels more than that of last
year. Of the total quantity fully 100,?!
000,000 bushels will be available for ex-
ortation. The cotton prospects were
arely more favorable than they -ate at

act will be upwards of 4,500,000 bales.

Several motions to reconsider parts of
previous day’s journal were made and
lost.
Mr. Mvnalt, of the Thirty-fifth, moved
to reconsider the journa 1 as relating to
the adoption of Mr. Tift’s amendment to
the sixth section. The motion to recon
sider prevailed.
The ameudment of Mr. Tift is as fol
lows as an addition to the sixth section
The General Assembly shall provide
competent and uniform commissions,
costs nnd fees, for all county officers, and
they shall receive no other compensation
for their services. Each county officer
shall keep a record of fees, commissions
aud costs received, to be submitted to the
examination of the Grand Jury at each
regular term aud shall pay into the
county treasury, at the end of ea^i year,
all sums collected for .fees, commissions
and costs over and above the sum of two
thousand dollars.
The regular order of business was
taken up, which was the sixth section of
the report on counties and county officers,
and Mr. Tifts’ amendment indefinitely
postponed by a vote of 10S yeas to 3
nays. V
The sixth section of report on counties
was read as follows:
Sec. 6. The county officers shall be
elected by the qualified voters of their
respective counties or districts, and shall
hold their offices for two years. They
shall be removed on conviction for mal
practice in office, and no person shall be
elgible to any of tho offices above refer
red to, unless he shall have been a resi
dent of the county for one year, and shall
be qualified to discharge the duties
thereof.
Mr. Hawkins—To amend by adding to
the end of the section, “and shall dis
charge his duties as prescribed by law.”
Adopted.
Mr. Wallen moved to insert “a quali
fied voter.” Adopted.
Mr. Spence, of tho Thirty-fifth—To
strike out all after “two years.” Amend
ment received.
Section seven was agreed to, as follows:
Sec. 7. Whatever tribunal or officers
may hereafter be created by the Legisla
ture, for the transaction of county mat
ters, shall be uniform throughout the
State, and of the same name, jurisdiction
and remedies, except that the Legisla
ture may provide for the appointment of
Commissioners of Roads and Revenue
in any county. a
On motion, the report of the
tee as amended was agreed to.
The hour for ’adjournment having ar
rived, Convention adjourned until next
day.
Eighteenth Day—Tuesday, July 31st.
Convention met, President Jenkins
in the Chair.
Prayer by delegate Tharpe.
The report of the Committee of Fi
nal Revision on the sub-report of the
Judiciary Committee was read.*
The following Section of Baitt'report
after futile attempts to amend it was
adopted, ahd becomes part of the Con
stitution :
Section L Paragraph 1. The judicial
powers of tins State shall lie vosted m a Su
preme Court, Superior CourtB, courts of orui*
nary, justices of the peace, commissioned no
taries public, and such other courts as hajc
been, or may be, established by law.
Paragraph First of Section Second as
reported by the Committee made the
Supreme Court to consist of a Chief
Justice and two associate Justices, giv
ing the General Assembly the power to
appoint two additional Associate Jus-
Mr. Collier offered an amendment
not allowing the General Assembly to
provide for appointment of two addi
tional Associate Justices, but establish
ing the Supreme Court as it now is.
Thin amendment provoked an exten
sive discussion. The advocates of it
argued in its favor on the score of econ
omy, contending that these Judges on
the Supreme Court had - thus far been
able to do all the work brought before
it. 1 ‘
Those opposed to the amendment
contended that with five Supreme Court
Judges there would be a better admin
istration of justice; for instance when
there are but three Judges, and one
gets sick, and the o.tlier two disagree in
an opinion, the Judge below decides
the cause, and thus the suitor does not
get the benefit of this tribunal.’
Almost the entire Session was taken
up in discussing Mr. Collier's amend
ment. The amendment, on being put
to a vote prevailed by a vote of 129 to
53 and Paiagraph First of Section Sec
ond was adopted as a part of Constitu
tion as follows: -
Sec. 2. Par. I.' The Supreme Court
shall consist of a.Chief Justice, and two
associate justices. A. majority of the
Court shall constitute a-quorum.

plstriet voting for, it, ; jUi^ ^fr. Fitten

On motion Second Paragraph of
Second Section was reconsidered and
amended so that in case one or more of
Supreme Court Judges are disqualified
by interest or other reasons from de
ciding any case tho Governor shall ap
point Superior Court Judges to sit in
their stead.
The following Paragraphs of Section
Second were adopted, thus becoming
part of the Constitution:
Par. IV. The Supreme Court shall
have no original jurisdiction, but shall
be a court alone for the trial and cor
rection of errors from the Superior
Courts, and from the city courts of Sa
vannah and Atlanta, and such other
like courts as may be hereafter estab
lished in other cities, and'shall sit at
the seat of government at such times,
in each year, as shall be prescribed by
law, for the trial and determination of
writs of error from said Superior and
City Courts.
Pai:. V. The Supreme Court shall
dispose of every case at the first or sec
ond term after such writ of error is
brought; and in case the plaintiff in qr-
ror shall not be prepared at the first
term to prosecute the case, unless pre
vented by providential cause, it shall
be stricken from the docket and the
judgement below shall stand affirmed.
Par. VI. In any case tho Court may,
in its discretion, withhold its judgment
until the next term after the same is
argued.
Paragraphs First and Second of Sec
tion Third were agreed to as follows:
Section III.—Paragraph I. There
shall be a Judge of the Superior Courts
for each Judicial Circuit, whose term
of office shall bo four years, or until his
successor is qualified.
Par.-II. He may act in other cir
cuits when authorized by law.

cases, where the offender is subjected to
loss of life, or confinement in the pene-
tentiary; in cases respecting titles to

Convention called to order by Presi
dent Jenkins.
Prayer by delegate Edge.
After an ineffectual motion to recon
sider a part of previous -day’s proceed
ing, and the submitting of the Report on
Education, ,j ;
Hr. Wright moved to reconsider ac
tion of the Convention in voting down
the motion that Judges of Superior
Court shall alternate. He argued rat
sone length in favor of their doing so.
Hr. WrightV motion to reconsider
wit* tabled. .
Mr. Boyd moved to reconsider action ;
of Convention making the. Ordinary's
tcim four years. He argued in favor
of its being only two years, but his mo-
tiai to reconsider was lost by a vote of
94to 87. ' /'I^*-/
After some discussion in reference to
Ju/tice’s Courts, the regular order of the
Jay, remaining part of report on Judi
ciary, was taken up.
The following section was read:
Sec. XII—Par. I. The Judges of the
Siperior and Supreme Courts, and At?
torney Generals nnd Solicitor Generals
shall be appointed in thiswise: On a
dty during; the session of the General
Assembly, to be, fixed by laWj the Senate

persons for each of said offices, to be fill
ed before the next session of the General
Assembly, and report the same to the
Governor, one of whom shall be commis-
ioned by hyn to fill the position.
This section evoked a lengthy discus
sion that engaged the attention of the
Convention for the rest of the day.
Some favored the Judges being appointed
by tiie Governor, some their being elected
by the people, and some that thoy be
ejected by the General Assembly.
A substitute for the paragraph by Mr.
Warren, of Chatham, that the Judges be
elected by a joint ballot of the General
Assembly was finally agreed to by a vote

We are gradually returning to the
consideration of such matters as still re
tain sufficient interest to entitle them to
that treatment, and which were tempor
arily dismissed at the outbreak of the
strikes. Business men have gone to
work again, trains are running as usual,
and the old routine has been generally
re-established. The fears of a scarcity in
our markets have subsided, and we are
cheered by assurances of a full supply of
peaches. There is still considerable
activity in the movement of treops, show
ing the Government’s purpose to relax
no effort until there shall he perfect sub
mission to and an absolute compliance
with law. The influence of the strike
appears to have extended to the Sitka
Indians, who are reported to have assum
ed a very threatening attitude towards
the few whites engaged in business in
that dismal region; and it has been pro
posed to send a gun-boat there to restore
order, although San Francisco opposes
the proposition to send the one now in
her waters to hold the “hoodlums” of that
city in subjection. While it is believed
that the report of Indian outrages about
Dcadwood has been greatly exagerated,
it is known that many of the treaoherous
savages have gone off their reservations,
and are/presumably engaged in unlaw
ful pursuits. Nothing specially interest
ing has been heard directly from General
Howard since my last He appears to be
maneuvering to take the waiy Joseph at
sadvantago, But np to the latest ac
counts that chief had refused to be “gob
bled.” Capta'.u Itewn had attempted
peace negotiations without definite re
sults ; meanwhile Governor Potts is ap
pealing for volunteers, proposing to taker
the field himself.
It is charged that the syndicate is acting
in bad faith towards the public and try
ing to obtain money under false preten
ses, by its advertisement in the English
papers, calling attention to the 4 per
cent, bonds os a very desirable invest
ment, and virtually stating that their in*
terestjis payable in gold. As silver was
a legal tender when the act authorizing
the bonds was passed, it is thought prob
able that the Government' would de
cide it optional whether it would pay in
gold or silver, should the letter be re
monetized, as now seems likely. ;

When they discovered that they had
never seen or heard or read of such an
animal, they proceeded with their toma
hawks and butcher-knives to open it, and
in doing so, to their utter amazement and
surprise, they fonnd in it a bark canoe,
the horns and skeleton of a large deer,
the skeleton of an Indian, also an old
rifle gon such as the Indians of that day
used, and a bow and arrows. From find
ing the above named articles in it, and
their appearance, they concluded that
some weeks previously an Indian had
killed a deer, put it into his canoe and,
while crossing the river, the monster had
iwallowed the canoe, with the Indian,
leer and other articles in it. The flesh
)f the Indian and deer had been diges
ted, bnt the canoe, the gnn, the bow and
arrows and bones were so indigestible as
to sicken the monster and so enfeeble it
that it had floated to where they found
it, and could not escape from them.

They told her that her husband’s bones
as doubtless bleaching in the wilds, but
re would not agree to marry until some
body should tell her of her husband’s
death. One of her lovers fixed that nicely.
Last year' she was told by a soldier that
her husband had been killed in a fight
with the Indians. She accepted the hand
of the lover she liked the best, Adolph
Anton Mailer, and was married to him
in the foil. On the 4th of June last Jos

mother-in-law told him that she was now

so?” and walked away. He sued for

she did not interpose any objections. The
divorce was granted. The separated
couple went to a restaurant and bad a
good meal, a good talk, and a good cry

A Chinaman who had been disappoint

fered by woman in various other ways,
retired with his infant son to the peaks ot
a mountain range in Kweichoe, to a spot
quite inaccessible to the little-footed Cni-

him to take the young man with him to
carry the heavy bags of rice. As they
were leaving the market town together,
the son suddenly stopped short and,
pointing to three approaching objects,
'cried:
“Father, what are those things ? Look,
look !, what are they ?”
The father instantly answered with a
peremptory tone:
“Turn away your head; they are
devils* I tell ye.”

1 To Take the Place of Gas,
A new means of jproducing artificial
tight has been discovered which will
likely work a great change ill social
and industrial life. A Russian named
Paul Jablochkoff has been able not on
ly to secure continuous tight from elec
tricity, but to divide an electric curie at
and distributelights all over a building.
The electricity is produced by means
of an ordinary elector magnetic engine.
A wire passes from the engine to a
number of points and then back again
to the machine. The electric candle
consists of two carbon points united by
anon-conductor mainly composed of
kaolin. When the current reaches the
bottom of a candle it is broken, and
passing up to the top of one of the car
bon points it changes into tight, then
descends the other carbon point and
proceeds on the next candle. One of
these so called candles ik equal to one
hundred gas jet. The new light has
been tested with- very satisfactory re
sults at the West India Docks, London,
and from the way the British scientific
journals speaks of-it, itis tike to be the .
light of the future.—Chronicle aiid- Con. ~
