The Weather. —This has been declared by members of the press a very fruitful theme. This may be true, hut the weather we have had since last Friday in itself will prove, we fear, anything else but fruitful. Up to Friday for several days the weather was Spring like and ideusunt, hut since that time our citizens night imagine that we h been transferred to a more Northern clime, or that Grant had elevate 1 Georgia us lie has Louisiana. Be this as it may, the weather last Saturday night was the coldest wc hn.ve experienced in this country. All our citizens who had thermometers had to TTSr.-i them upside down to find out the state of the weather, as the quicksilver had run out at the bottom. Since Saturday the weather has modern tud considerably, of which our living to write ot it is sufficient evidence, and yester day morning we had a sold, dreary rain, with now a prospect of an improvement People may speak of their “cold Saturday,” u time that our older citizens always refer to when cold weather is mentioned, hut if it was any col er than the time we speak of, then we don’t see how so many arc living to speak of ii. It is feared that the wheat crop has been destroyed, and all other win ter crops lists, we suppose, suffered to a like extent. Short-hand Writing—a Profession for S2O. —By reference to a notice in our advertising colums. it will be found that an opportunity is afforded our youths to obtain a knowledge of Phonography, or short-hand writing. Such is the demand ot late years for reporters that Phonography lias become one of the most remunerative professions known. The advertiser was taught under a very efficient teacher, many ot whose pu pils are to day reporters in Congress, where none but the most expert are employed. The system taught is that first invented by an Englishman, and since brought to such perfection as to induce its general adop tion. The next semi-annual convention of the Georgia State Agricultural Society will meet in the city of Augusta on luesday, 11th of February next. This convention will be, in many respects, the most important tho titate Society has yet held. Many subjects of vi tal interest to the farmer and the material welfare of the State will be before the body for discussion afcd action. Tho Committee on Direct Trade and Immigration, appointed at the Griffin convention, will make their report at this convention ot the society, and deli gates from all the Southern States and the Southern commercial centres are expec ted to be in attendance. The Bickford Knitting Machine. — We have received numerous inquiries rela ting to the Bickford Knitting Machine, is usefulness, perfection, &c. We have now one in operation, but have not yet given it a fair trial. When we have become suffi ciently acquainted with its merits, we will let its worth be known. It the result ot our experience proves satisfactory wc will rec ommend it, if otherwise, we shall not do so. Reminiscences of the Georgia Bench AND Bar. —Our young friend Jas. O. San ders has a few more copies ot the. above ex cellent work by Judge Garnet Andrews.— We advise all who wish to enjoy a hearty laugh to get a copy. It will afford fun enough to last ."or years. GEORGIA. Governor Smith, learning that there will ,be no session of Congresss on the 4th oi March next, has postponed indefinitely the j election of the Eigth Congressional district 'to fill the vacauey 7 made by the death of Geu. Wright. Conyers has Meningites. The latest news from Atlanta in relation to the election of Senator indicates that Mr. Stephens is rapidly gaining ground.— The election was to have taken place yes terday. Tobacco chewers will have to take care of the “old sojers” now, as the Internal Revenue officers have held up several boxes at the depot in Augusta because they were imperfectly stamped. Joe Jefferson will “Rip” in Augusta the latter part of this month. Savannah had a negro burned alive a short time ago. These instances are be coming very common of lute. Forsyth is to have a sash and blind fac tory. Tire worthless negroes ot Mon rue county are preparing to go to Arkansas, when, we suppose, they expect to find more congenial company. A candidate gang recently attempted suicide in Atlanta, hut the attempt was a failure. A Macon youth trustingly laid his pock et-book down, and was surprised to find it had vanished when he reached for it. Un suspecting verdancy. Ex-Gov. H. V. Johnson, is mentioned as the coming man for the vacancy on the Su preme Court bench. It would be difficult to find a more suitable man tor the position. Atlanta has policemen so expert in whis tle blowing, that other policemen take them lor birds, so says the Herald The Rads have 18 votes on joint ballot in the Legislature. Stokes Guilty of Murder in the Fust Degree. —The jury in the Stokes case, after being out some few hours, ren dered the verdict against the prisoner of murder in the first degree. Judge Board man deferred sentence until Monday. Dur ing the latter days of the trial some appre hension was awakened among the friends ot the prisoner at the pertinacity and skill with whih testimony for the prosecution was evolved. Still a feeling existed among ma ny that eouviction of murder in the first degree would be found, and that, it there were no disagreements of the jury, the ver dict would be cither justifiable homicide or manslaughter in the third degree. The prisoner’s counsel will doubtless now apply for anew trial, as (hey took many excep tions in the present case, on which they can ground theirupplieation. Later. —The jury came in court at i 1:12, having been absent about, throe hours. There was a marked sensation in the court at the aunoucement ot the verdict. The prisoner turned ashy pale, and his sister wept aloud. Assistant District Attorney Fellows moved that the sentence of law be pronounced, but, at the suggestion id Tre maine, the Judge deferred passing’the sen tence until Monday. lhe jury, it. trans pired, on retiring, stood ien in favor of murder in the first degree at.d two for man slaughter in the third degree. From in formation derived in an interview with some of the lawyers of Stokes, it is thought that no exception to the verdict will be taken. The Difference. —The Selma Times says “the Georgia State School Commission er has addressed a letter to each of the County Treasurers of that State, in which he announces that there are SIOO,OOO ready for distribution for t.o payment of school officers and teachers, this too in a State that lias suffered all the horrors ot Democratic supremacy. Ou the contrary, in our State where the rads, the embodiment oi finan ciering ability, wisdom patriotism and other innumerable unmentionables, have controll ed, the Superintendent of Public Instruc tion announces the suspension lor the pres_ cut, of the public school system, while the Governor recommends that the State taxes be increased one hundred per cent. Judge Durell as Vicegerent. —The New Orleans Picayune of the I2th inst. con tains the following : “An unusual scene oc curred in the United States Court on last Thursday uiorniog. Mr. Thos. Ilunton read to the court an affidavit made by Car son Mudge, charging R. H. Shannon, the immaculate United States Commissionar, with unprofessional conduct. Among other things the affiant charged Shannon with saying on a recent occasion that he (Shan non) wrote the decisions of Judge Durell; that he possessed his ear and could influence his judgment, and that for a small fee he would make a certain case then pending in the United States Court all right. “In presenting the affidavit, Mr. Ilunton alluded to the frequent attacks that had been recently made on the court. This al lusion was too much for the political judge, lie at once allowed himself to be transport ed into the most violent rage, and indulged iu ianguugc most unbecoming to a judge.— Among much else that was unseemly, he used this blasphemous language : I am the vicegerent of Almighty God, sitting here to dispense justice, and as His agent I intend to see justice done.” The New York Times gives currency to a startling rumor that there is an ugly hitch in the settlement between J !i y Gould and tie Erie Railroad Company. It would be a pity after all that has been said upon this subject, if the arrangement, alleged to have been an accomplished fact, should in the <?nd, “fizzle out;” bat as the financiers of Gotham are somewhat famous for “ways that arc dark and tricks that are vain,” there is no telling what may be the final result of the scrimmage between Gouid and Erie. The Stokes Appeal. —lt is stated that the legal profession of New York are very much exercised over the bill of exceptions proposed to be filed by the counsel of Stokes to the rulings of Judge Boardman, the main point oi which seehis to he contained in the judge’s charge to the jury, the language of which, it is alleged, was calculated to dis credit the testimony of Stokes to the extent that if his testimony came in conflict with other testimony it was not, on account of his being interested, to be believed. It is contended that, under the statute, the cred ibility of a witness is not to be doubted on account of his implication in the matter at issue. Another fact favorable to Stoxes is that there are thirty-two judges in the State, all of equal power, and any one of whom can interfere to stop the execution. J. 11. Estill, of the Savannah News ha s been elected State Printer. Bulwer, the English novelist, is dead ; aged, 87. Mr. Stephens spoke two hours in Atlan ta. The weather was bad, but the crowd was itvmqnse and the enthusiasm great His reception was flattering. Gordon said argument would be of no avail to the party iu power. The only sal vation for the country was the establishment of direct trade and the development of natu ral resources at the South until the North felt the ueeessity of our co-operation. Graut has issued a proclamation preclud ing any Federal uffiee-hoiuer from holding a civil office. < Second Trial of Mrs. Wharton.— The trial of Mrs. Wharton on the indict ment charging her with attemping to poison Eugene Van Ness in Baltimore, in June, 1871, commenced at Ant apolis last Thurs day. It is not yet a year since she was ac quitted, after a protracted trial of the charge of poisoning Gen. W. Scott Ketch urn. Owing to tire high social position ol ’tier husband, Major Wh-rton, great interest was taken iu the trial, and the mere from the peculiarity of the circumstances, Gen. Ketchum having been an intimate friend of tire family, and being on a visit there at the time of his death. Public feeling was strongly against Mrs. Wharton hefoie the trial and during the first week or two of it bur gradually changed, until at the close the verdict of not guilty was accepted with gen eral satisfaction. Van Ness, who was a banking clerk, was, like Ketehutu, a friend of Mrs. Wharton, aud, while calling on her during the illness of Gvi. Ketchum, at her house, accepted and drank some tea prepur eu by her, aud soon uftt-r died. The Ordinary received last night from the Governor the eommisMons for county officers. A Voice from Sweden. —American Chemists and their Production appreciated hy the Professors al the celebrated Univer sities in Sweden.— Mr. Sachs, Sir: At your request, L have tested Hall’s Vegetable Si cilian liair Renewer, nmy practice at the “Serafimer Hospital,” and can say, it will restore gray hair to its original color.
