Affairs in Georgia.
The Atlanta Constitution is getting to be
right lively in its paragraphing, and we ob-
6 erve considerable improvement in the edi
torial columns. The Eleven Able Editors
hare evidently hired help.
Georgians who are thinking about at
tending the Centennial should save their
money and attend the Thomasvillo Fair
neit year. It will be a big thing.
“Augusta has a pig with a head like an
elephant’s. This is a curiosity, but Savan-
n»h beats Augusta all-hollow. The latter
place has a man with a head like a pig’s.”
Thus, unexpectedly, the Atlanta Constitu
tion. When bully Nick Bottom grows face
tious it is time for the world to weep. Fel
low-citizens, out with your handkerchiefs.
It turns out that Bullock paid his own
expenses from Albion to Atlanta, although
be came as a prisoner. Noble, geueioua
Mas! Thoughtful of the poor Georgia
tax-payers to the last. Waiter, pass this
philanthropist another nosegay.
Dom Pedro didn’t stop in Augusta. He
beard that the hospitable people of that city
bad the tackle and everything ready to haul
him up the romantic canal. It will thus he
seen that the Emperor missed the opportu
nity of gathering a nice mesB of blackberries.
Colonel N. T. P. Finch, one of the ablest
of the Eleven Able Editors, is writing let-
ten from Canada. Colonel Clarke, also one
ol the ablest of the Eleven Able, is plum-
taating in Columbus.
Even the mules in Atlanta are weakening
since the return of Bullock. Two of them
ran away with a wagon and a negro the
other day, and, during the amusement, the
negro fell out upon the double-tree, where,
according to the Commonwealth, he was
kicked seven times a second until th» ani
mals were stopped. It is a sufficiently with
ering comment upon the capacity of these
mules to Btate that the colored man still
survives.
Mrs. H. D. Greenwood, of Jefferson coun
ty, is dead.
The play of Julius Ciesar as rendered by
the Atlanta amateurs is said to have been a
decided success. A repetition is called
for.
Quoting our inquiry in regard to the num
her cf Bullock's bogus bonds held in Atlanta,
the Eleven Able Editors respond : “There
are not enough of them in Atlanta to swap
even with the Savannah crowd.” Do the
Eleven Able know this to ho true ? If so,
we would like to get at some of the bottom
facts, as it were.
A large eagle was killed in Jefferson coun
ty the other day.
It cost the State $1,500 to get Bullock back
to Georgia. Bullock says he wrote Governor
Smith a letter some time ago, offering to re
turn if tho Executive thought his presence
necessary, but received no reply.
The Louisville News and Farmer says
that Judge A. E. Tarver, of Jefferson coun
ty, sold at Bartow, on Friday of last week>
to Messrs. Wilkins & Outlaw, 7,091 poundB
of wool at 23 ‘ cents per pound, realizing
11,719163. It will be remembered that Judge
Tarver is no speculator in wool, and the
above is all from hiB own raising. He owub
about twenty-five hundred head of sheep,
and the increase and manure will pay all
the expense of keeping them, while the
amount realized from the sale of wool is the
interest on his investment. Is there any
thing that pays better ?
Mr. Itichard Lavender, of Wilkinson coun
ty, lost the sight of one of his eyes recently,
by the bursting of a percussion cap on his
gnu. A fragment of tho cap entered the
hall of the eye, and has not yet been ex
tracted.
The average Atlanta man, after rubbing
the duet from his marble brow with his
shirt-sleeve, sits down and picks the flies
from his garlic broth, confident all the while
that every other man in every other town is
longing to make Atlanta his home, and he
hover wakes from his dream until a stranger
comes along and asks him why he keeps his
hnger-nailB in mourning.
An alligator ten feet long, and weighing
three hundred and fifty pounds, was killed

ESTABLISHED 1850.
The Atlanta CommonweaUli says that Joel
B. Griffin, of Fort Valley, by his attorneys,
Wampy & Smith, filed his action, recorded
in the Clerk’s office of the Superior Court,
against the National Surgical Institute of
Atlanta, for ten thousand dollars damages
for the burning of his left heel, which is
alleged to have been done by the defendant
through the want of reasonable care, skill
and proper attention, while Griffin was re
ceiving treatment at this institute. Isn’t
Joel too particniar about a little burning like
that ?
The wheat crop in Southwest Georgia is
said by the Albany News to be a splendid
snccess.
Wouldn’t it be well for the Irwinton
Southerner and other Middle Georgia papers
to inform the farmers of that section who
are planting upland rice that a man in Co
lumbia county, Florida, has invented and
haB for sale a cheap and durable machine
for cleaning rice? Inquiries addressed to
the editor of the Reporter, Lake City, Fla.,
with stamp enclosed for return postage,
will, we doubt not, elioit all the necessary
information in regard to the machine.
Grasshoppers are lunching on the young
cotton plants in Gwinnett county.
According to the Irwinton Southerner,
the prospects for good crops in WilkinBon,
Twiggs and Laurens counties were never
better.
Mr. Robeson, an aged citizen of Mont
gomery county, died suddenly iu the public
highway in Dodge on the 28th ultimo.
And the Columbus Times also thinks that
the Georgia Domooracy, as a party, are
made to endure reproach because it is
charged that a few men who call themselves
Democrats were hand-in-glove with the Bul
lock regime. The idea is absurd.
The Macon Telegraph says that Mr. Arthur
E. Boardman, of that city, while bathing at
Cumberland Island a day or two ago, was
severely bitten iu one of his legs by a
shark. He reached home Thursday, accom
panied by Messrs. Jus. Roosevelt and Walter
Johnston. He was very lucky in escaping
as lightly as he did, notwithstanding his
limb is severely torn.
Capt. Albert B. Wrenn, of Atlanta, shook
hands with Dom Pedro and Mrs. Dom Pedro
the other day. We congratulate the youth.
Bishop Pierce will preach in Louisville to
morrow.
A Conyers man took morphine instead of
quinine the other day, and his friends had
to shake him up considerably before he was
considered out of danger.
Athens Watchman : “The Sad Tragedy”
reported by a Wilmington paper, to the ef-
ect that Colonel St. Clair Dearing, who, it
was reported, had just been married, was
shot and killed by a rejected suitor of the
bride, at Grahamville, S. C., turns out to he
untrne in every particniar. In the first
place, he was not married and does not ex
pect to be shortly—was not shot at by any
one—is not killed—was not at Grahamville
on the occasion mentioned, but was at the
time and is now in Philadelphia. He is in
daily correspondence with his relatives in
this city.
Columbus Enquirer: To June 1st last sea
son the per cent, cf the crop received was
97.3. Applying this ratio to this season we
have a crop of 4,593.000, and this only allows
290,000 for overland and 150,000 for home
consumption. The estimate for overland is
without doubt too little. The area reports
are that the acreage in cotton is
greater than last year. If this be so aud
seasons continue good, there is a good pros
pect for five million baits the coming season,
aud middlings will bring in December six
cents.
Ba nbridge Democrat: The Decatur coun
ty farmer who fails to make plenty ol corn
this Beason, with the trying experience of
the present year before his very eyes, and
pinching in bis very stomach, had better
“go to Texas” at once. From all indica
tions cotton will be lower this fall than Biuce
the war, and it therefore behooves every
one who can to pay special attention to his
corn crib and his pig sty. With plenty of
bread and meat on hand, the farmer can
“hold” his cotton for better prices—other
wise it must go at six or seven cents to pay
for corn at $1 25 andbacon at twenty cents.
“A word to the wise is sufficient.”
Greenville (Meriwether county) Vindica
tor : About six weeks ago Mr. Marion Phil
lips, living near the Warm Springs, while
hunting on the mountain, saw a red fox run
from an old log. Examining the log Mr.
Phillips found six young foxes. Taking them
up he carried them home and placed them in
charge of the cat, placiug grimalkin’s kit
tens in the place of the fox cubs. What be
came of the little cats Mr. Phillips knows
not, as the old fox changed her hiding place
immediately, and probably carried the kit
tens with her. The old cat has carefully
nursed the little foxes, which have thrived
wondrously under her care, and are as tame
as pet kittens, showing no disposition to re
turn to the woods.
Newnan Blade: An exchange, in speaking
of this bogus bovine, says that “Bullock has
given bond and ibis will be the last of it.”
We doubt that this will be the last of it.
The corruption that predominates in At
lanta will not allow this renegade to sink
back “lo tie vile dust from whence he
sprung, unwept, unhonored and unsung,”
but on the other band he will doubtless have
a mock trial or miss it altogether, and then
with Kimball become one of the first citizens
and most prominent man at the capital. We
trust that he may be an exception to that
courtesy which has been characteristic of
Atlanta recently, but there is little room for
hope.
Talbotton Standard: There is a hickory
tree standing near the residence of Mr. Ben.
Blanton, fn this county, that has something
of the curious hanging about its branches.
It measures eleven feet and three inches in
circumference. This makes it the largest
tree in this neighborhood. And Mr. Blan
ton says that it has been struck by light
ning every vear since he’B known it, and he
has been living near it .many years, and
the electricity has never been strong
enough to penetrate the hark to the
sap, and it has not been killed. It
bears enough hickory-nnts every year to
supply the neighborhood for ten miles
around. Less than one hundred squirrels
build their nests and raise their yonng in it
every year. The frost killB its leaves, and
they do not remain green all the winter.
The shade from its branches and foliage
covers less than five acres of ground. There
are many other features, rare and interest
ing, connected with this tree that are too
numerous to mention. It rivals the great
trees of California.
Americus Republican: The barrel of now
flour shipped by A. 0. Bell & Co., cotton
buyers and provision brokers, from this
city on the 16th inst., to Philadelphia, was
received in that city, so says the Daily Bul
letin, and exhibited on ’Change on the 22d
amid much excitement and great interest.
It was the first barrel of new flour exhib
ited in aDy market during the present year,
and of this Americus and Southwest Georgia
should be justly proud, especially as we are
in the centre of the largest cotton producing
portion of the State. This barrel, al
though gotten up in fine style,
has been completely metamorphosed.
The wooden heads have been re
moved and solid glass ones substituted;
the barrel profusely placarded, showing
that the wheat was harvested May Uth,
ground th© 15th, shipped the 16th, and re-
ceivedthe 21st. Thus the barrel has been
placed on exhibition at the Centennial.
Much credit is due to our enterprising
and popular young Mayor, J. B. Felder, for
demonstrating that Southwest Georgia, the
cotton producing portion of the State, can
mature wheat earlier than Texas ; also, that
active and reliable firm, A. C. Boll & Co., for
their interest and promptness in making
the shipment. Let Americns be awarded
the prize and praise, and the carries inter
ested rewarded.
Ex-Gov. Ames’s Advisees.—Morgan,
who is Sheriff of Yazoo county, has long
been a refugee from his county. Chair
man of the late State Convention, and
husband of a very respectable colored
woman, he, when a State Senator, offered
in writing to sell his vote for $2,000.
Raymond refused to pay it, saying that
he had already paid $900, and that was
enough for that vote. A. R. Howe, ex-
County Treasurer and ex-member of Con-
grass, took from the treasury of Panola
county, through an ignorant colored
Board of Supervisors, and now unlawful
ly retains, $5,125 07, and refuses to pay.
This, in brief, is a Bmall part of the re
cord of three of the Governor s confiden
tial advisers, friends, and counsellors,
and he must have known their character
all the while.—From tte open leUer of a
Mississippi Republican to President Grant.

THE POWERS AND THE EASTERN
QUESTION.
Jiin Blaine’s Badness.
THE EASTERN QUESTION.
Vienna, June 2.—It is stated that the rep
resentatives of the powers have held meet
ings and resolved to postpone indefinitely
the presentation of the Berlin memorandum.
London, June 2.—Specials report a mas
sacre at Tribizon, but no particulars are
allowed to transpire at Constantinople.
The Post says it learns that Abdul Aziz,
the late Sultan of Turkey, is confined iu a
splendid palace called “The Cage.” The
Post also says it has reason to believe that
his life is perfectly safe ; and adds that it
understands that Queen Victoria, immedi
ately on learning of the deposition of Abdul
Aziz, took steps to obtain a satisfactory as
surance of the personal safety of her former
guest.
A dispatch to the Reuter Telegram Com
pany from Constantinople states 'that the
ceremony of girding Murad Effendi, the
«iew Sultan, with the sword of Osman, which
is equivalent to a coronation, is postponed
until next week.
A special dispatch to the Pall Mail Ga
zette from Berlin says: “It is stated here
that Servia refuses to recognize the new
Sultan of Turkey, on the ground of his
irregular accession to the throne, aud de
clines to pay her tribute, two installments
of which are in arrears.” The same dis
patch says Prince Bismarck will accompany
the Emperor William to Ems, where a fresh
conference will be held between Prince Bis
marck, Prince Gortschakoff and Count Ka-
roli, the Austrian Ambassador at Berlin.
Washington, June 2.—The Turkish Min
ister has received from the Turkish Minister
of Foreign Affairs the following: “ Rumors
inspired by ill-will having been spread re
lating to the fate of the fallen monarch, I
hasten to deny them in the moat express
manner. His* Majesty the Suliau, Murad
Kahn, as soon as ho was proclaimed, gave
of his own orders that his uncle should be
surrounded with the respect and honors duo
his person. He has assigned for his resi
dence a pavilion adjoiniug the Imperial
palace of Jiehragoi. Abdul Aziz Kahn at
once addressed to His Majesty an autograph
letter to acknowledge his accession, and de
clares that he relinquished the throne, and,
aspiring to repose, he wished to live in his
retreat.”
UNCLE DANIEL.
New York, May 2.—The examination of
Daniel Drew, in bankruptcy, began yester
day. He stated, under oath, that he had
not transacted any business for a year
prior to filing his petition. He did business
previously in the offices of Boyd Vincent,
Johnson, Chase & Co., Dickerson & Co., and
Whiteley & Nelson. He always did his own
business, and had no one in his employ;
he had statements of accounts from
those brokers, but never looked them
over; trusted to their honesty ; had
collaterals with those brokers, but
they did not surrender them ; they
used them up to a mere nothing ; was well
enough off a year ago; never kept any check
book; had a small account with the Manhat
tan Bank, but it was settled up long ago.
He never bad much of a bank account. In
reply to a question as fco how he made pay
ments, Mr. Drew said: “These men would
charge me iu these transactions. If any
thing went against me they would charge
it, and I always trusted to their honesty. I
was not in the habit of giving notes. I gave
some, and might have paid them by giving
checks on some of the brokers, but on no
bank except the Manhattan. I did not keep
any record of the notes.” When asked how
he knew when they were due, he re
plied that he generally carried those
things in his head. He once had a great
deal of property, and could tell wheu he lost
it all. He had several millions at one time,
and could tell of what it consisted by making
out a statement. He would not be assisted
by papers or memoranda. He carried those
things in his head.
WASHINGTON NEWS AND NOTES.

Council Bluffs, via Chicago and Northwest
ern Railway, at 10:30 p. m., fifteen minutes

DUMAS.
Paris, June 2.—Jean Baptist Dumas was

French Academy.
Brigham Young’s Ambition.—Brother
Brigham YouDg, or, as Mrs. Partington
has it, Bigamy Young, is getting tired of
the intruding Gentiles at Great Salt Lake,
and proposes an exodus toward the land
of God and liberty. It appears that his
pioneers, who have been spying out the
advantages of new locations, have already
made considerable preparations for the
saints in New Mexico—established several
settlements in fertile valleys, laid out
towns, built houses, constructed irrigat
ing ditches, and prepared the way for a
large number of other Mormons, who are
expected to follow.
In explanation of the movement, it is
said that the arrangement was made with
Brigham Young several years ago to go
to the region traversed by the route of
the Texas and Pacific Railroad, settle
upon and occupy it, and ultimately take
the contract for building that portion of
the line. It is now argued that the re
moval of a large body of Mormons to
the new settlements is the result of pre
parations to resume work upon the road.
The San Francisco Chronicle asserts
that Gov. Axtell, formerly of Utah, but
now Governor of New Mexico, has for
months been quietly working, paving the
way for the establishment of a new Mor
mon empire in the latter country, with
an ultimate view to the occupanoy of old
Gatoeiton tfeios.

Nummary of Con.re..ional Proceeding*.
CONGRESSIONAL.
Washington, June 2.—In the House,
the Indian Appropriation bill was up.
MUIb and Throckmorton spoke regarding
the Fort Sill reservation. The Clerk having
proceeded to read the bill by sections,
Mills, of Texas, offered an amendment pro-
yiding for the removal of the Aj^che In
dians from the Fort Sill reservation to the
Baxter Springs reservation, in the north
eastern part of the Indian Territory.
Bland, of Missouri, raised the point of
order that the amendment proposes to
change existing laws and did not retrench ex
penditures, and was therefore not in order.
The chair ruled that the point of order was
well taken, and that the amendment was not
before the House. The Bectiou transferring
the bureau to the War Department was net
reached when the committee rose and the
House took a recess. There will be a night
session for speeches.
In the Senate, the bill allowing the chan
nel of the Ohio on the Bouth side of Neville
Island closed passed.
The bill to exempt all vessels engaged in
the navigation of the Mississippi river aud
its tributaries above the port of New Or
leans from entries and clearances passed.
The bill fixing the time of holding the
Circuit Courts in tho Fourth jndicial dis
trict passed. Tho district includes North
and South Carolina, Virginia and West Vir
ginia.
It jbertson presented the petitions of the
colored laborers of South Carolina, remon
strating against the ratification of the Ha
waiian treaty, so as to admit rice free of
duty.
The legislative, executive and judical
appropriation hill was taken np. The
bill, as amended, increases the amount
as it passed the House by about
two and a quarter millions. The first
amendment, restoring the salaries of Sena
tors and Bepresentatives to five thousand
dollars, passed. Considerable progress was
made on the bill, and all the amendments
reached were adopted.
Confirmations—G. W. Griffith, of Ken
tucky, Consul to Apia; Charles E. Mayer,
Attorney for the Southern and Middle Ala
bama Districts.
HARNEY.
Washington, Jane 2.—In the course of
his cross-examination, Harney testified that
he worked for Greene from friendship, and
never expected to make anything out of it.
Ho had never told a member of Congress
that he coaid make money for himself by
se 'tiring an appointment, or that bis salat y
was inadequate to his support.
Myqr Strouse, of Pennsylvania, testified
that he was a member of Congress from
the Schuylkill District, in 1866; he
knew Lawrence Harney, who was as-
sistant doorkeeper at that time. Har
ney a number of times asked witness
to use his influence to procure
friend Greene an appointment in the army.
Harney spoke of Greene’s character as a sol
dier, aud witness wrote a letter to President
Johnson iu favor of such appointment. Har
ney said to witness : “You have in
fluence with the President, and have
always been the soldiers’ friend, and
can help Greene by writing a letter.” Har
ney said to witness that he (Harney) cohid
make a little, probably four or five hundred
dollars out or the business. Witness told
Harney that he (witness) had nothings do
with the financial part of the business. Wif-
ness was very intimate with Mr.
Kerr, but never saw him have any
intercourse with Harney. Harney was
very courteous aud friendly with
witness. He rather liked Harney,
because bo attended to his business oblig
ingly. Harney was a 11. publican with
Democratic proclivities, and as President
Johnson was a little shakey, he told witness
it was necessary that Greene should have a
little Democratic influence. On cross-ex
amination, Stronss testified that Harney
told him his position did not pay well, and
his expenses were heavy.
THE CASE OF ELAINE.
Washington, June 2.—Mr. Blaine, before
the committee, stated that he had consulted
uatt Carpenter and Jere Black. They ad
vised him not to produce the letters, on the
ground that to compel their publication
would be unjust and tyrannical. They also
hold, Mr. Blaine continued, after reading
the fifteen letters submitted to them, that
they have no relevancy to the matter in
hand, and the committee would decid* the
same way if the letters wereBhown them.
The Blaine examination waB confined to
the $64,000 affair, aud nothing startling w^s
elicited. The opinion signed by Messrs.
Black and Carpenter, as read, is substan
tially as reported by Mr. Blaine. It con
cludes: “As a result of this, it follows that
Mr. Blaine, having the letters and
papers in his possession, is not bound to Bur-
render them, they referring to Mr. Blaine’s
private affairs, and being wholly beyond the
range of the investigation, which commit
tee is authorized to make it, would bo most
unjust and tyrannical, as well as illegal, to
demand their production. We advise Mr.
Blaine to assert his right as an American
citizen, and resist any such demand to the
last extremity.”
Mr. Hunton—Do you wish tho committee
to understand that you decline to produce
the letters ?
Blaine—Yes, sir.

FACTION AGAINST FACTION.
There is probably a greater number of
visitors here than has ever been known
before in the history of this picturesque
place, and the hotel is unable to satisfy
the demands for accommodations, unless
the applicant will agree to sleep with his
feet out of the windows, in order to econ
omize space. At least five hundred strange
niggers have been attracted hither
by the convention, which was to have
assembled yesterday. Nine counties have
deputed two opposing and contesting
delegations’ and each clan is backed by
an armed rabble of nigger partisans.
The threats and imprecations from one
crowd of suffragan sagainst Conover, and
the maledictions upon the head of Stearns
from another crowd would seem to en
courage the impression that the split is
irremediable and enduring.
THE RADICAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
At 9 o’clock a. m. yesterday the State
Central Committee met, and commenced
their deliberations in secret, with guards
at the doors to prevent ingress on the
part of any one. The fight which Cono
ver and Stearns made to secure the ma
jority in the committee was very deter-
i mined, but the victory was won by
Stearns, who seduced W. H. Gleason,
ihe chairman, and thus placed his oppo
nent in a minority of one. The adhe-
rents of Stearns in the conclave having
figured it up that the delegates stood
sixty-seven for Conover against sixty-five
for Steurns, inclusive of contests, began
to investigate the claims of the different
delegations with a decided spirit of par
tiality towards Stearns. Dennis had his
cohorts here from Alachua, and Walls had
his. The committee determined to rule
adversely to the Walls side. Josiah was
wrathy, and shot fire from his
eyes, and the exoitement culmin
ated in several negro conflicts, in which
nobody was seriously hurt. It is
unnecessary to particularize in regard to
the examination of these counties, but
suffice it to say that the Steames’ majority
of one ruled squarely in favor of that
worthy in every instance if the least ex
cuse for so doing could be discovered.
Witherspoon, of Monticello, for Conover,
was menacing, and declared that Jeffer
son county had something to say in these
matters, and threatened a complete
disintegration of the plotters, body
and soul. Witherspoon’s delegation
will act whether the State central men
say it shall or not. The opposing cliques
clash occasionally, and the hooting and
yelling, the scampering helter skelter
amongst the Africans during the continu
ance of the melee, is enlivening but in
describable. The resonant concussions
of- sportive pistols are frequently heard,
but so leg no one save Bogue, the Sheriff
of Madison county, has lost any blood.
A BITTER WAB.
On yesterday afternoon Joe Valentine
and another darkey came to Glows and
knocks in the heat of a dispute, and the
spectators of the black persuasion flocked
around the enraged warriors in great ex
citement amidst deafening shouts and an
unearthly hubbub. Sticks cleaved the
air and, in consequence of the unlimited
distribution of whisky, the intoxicated
negroes appeared to be intent upon an
ensanguined contest. The Sheriff in en
deavoring to quell the disturbance pene
trated the horde of rioters and got pos
session of the principal actor, who was
brandishing a pistol furiously. Iu tho
scuffle that ensued the weapon was dis
charged and the shot took effect in the
Sheriff’s leg near th6 foot, producing a
painful but it is thought not very serious
wound. A calm followed and Joe Valen
tine was placed under arrest.
CONOVER AND BUTLER.
In the afternoon Conover was inveigled
into the committee room, and John W.
Butler, who is supposed to have been
drunk, incessantly, for an indefinite
period, showered a volley of oaths upon
the air and attempted to reach Simon,
who beat a hasty retreat from the prem
ises. This engendered a sensation with
out and within, and the Conover ings
scented a deep and diabolical conspiracy
to get their champion out of the way by
instigating Butler to murder him. The
feeling that developed as this notion
gained ground betokened an impending
storm, but the uneasiness was soon
allayed, and all became as serene as it is
possible for anything to be considering
the presence of these pugnaoious ele
ments.
THE PROBABLE RESULT.
It is claimed by Conoverites that they
are not compelled to submit to the action
of the committee in ruling out their dele
gations,and that they will not abide by the
decisions of the body, but will fight the
matter out in the convention. The rumor
is in circulation that Gleason sold out on
a promise of the nomination for Lieuten
ant Governor on the Stearns ticket. Con
over’s adherents among the negroes out
numbered those of Stearns, and it is al
most certain that unless Conover obtains
the nomination he will bolt and set up a
separate institution to name a lot of can
didates. The State Central Committee
boasts among its members such names
as H. S. Harmon, W. H. LeCain, John
W. Butler and others equally tarred and
besmeared.
PULLING AND HAULING.
About fifty-five factions congregate all
over town hourly to rant and bluster, and
often come to extremes. Three brass
bands are here, one in the interest of
Conover, one paid by Stearns and an
other imported by the middle men. Gen.
John Tyler, Jr., arrived here last night,
and adds one to the already innumerable
list of Gubernatorial aspirants. The im
portant features are music and candidates,
cabals and fights. The Radical State Cen
tral Committee remained in session last
night until a very late hour and adjourned
to meet again this morning. Purman, Pot
ter, Tannahill and other members with
drew from the committee, and are very
bitter.
THE BOLTERS.
The prospective bolters openly rebelled
against the course pursued by Stearns’s
vassals in excluding various delegations,
and this morning assembled in the woods
to organize another convention under the
leadership of Walls. Turman, Wither
spoon, Conover and Wallace (of Leon)
addressed the meeting in denunciation of
Steams and his hired crew, and Conover
boldly proclaimed that if the antagonists
did not vouchsafe his crowd their rights
they intended to take them. Pui-
man branded the Governor as a
“dead carcass.” Witherspoon announced
himself on hand with a “solid
army.” After a vast deal of talking
the meeting decided to appoint a com-
mittee of five to demand justice for the
anti-Stearasites. When the roll was
called by Walls, twenty-three out of
thirty-nine counties were represented,
and there is apparently no way to pre
vent the continued widening of the
breach. It seems impossible to hefll the
division or to compromise with the anti-
Stearns crowd. The feud is growing
momentarily, and will soon be absolutely
incurable. There will be two separate
sets of candidates beyond doubt, unless
Conover secures the nomination. The
Central Committee is still sitting with
closed doors, without the absenting mem
bers, and the convention will be opened
this evening, and then the struggle will
have fair y begun for the command of
the situation. Adrianus.

THE NEGRO REPUBLIC.
Barillas Starr ef the Havtlaa Revolution
[Correspondence of the London Standard.]
A revolution has just taken place in
Port-au-Prince, and the government has
been deposed in a very short time. The
movement was almost spontaneous
throughout Hayti, and the first rising
took place in Jacmel about six weeks ago.
A General Boisrond-Cana! appears to
have made himself very popular in the
island, and to have acquired a renown
for disinterestedness—rather a rare quali
ty here—and the government of General
Domingue, who came into office two
years ago, has always looked upon him as
its bete noire, and made an attempt to
assassinate him last year. He, however,
assisted by a few men armed with mur
derous sixteen-shot Henry rifles, put to
flight the men sent to arrest him. and
took refuge in the United States
Consulate, whence he effected his
escape to Kingston, Jamaica. General
Domingue, the President of the republic
of Hayti, iu accordance with the Haytian
custom of making hay while the sun
shines, put his relatives iu all the best
paying offices of the State, and his
nephew, Septimus Kameau, was made
his First Minister. So rapacious did
Kameau become that he absorbed the
best part of the revenues of the republic
himself, and sent them to Europe for se
curity. This aud other arbitrary acts
were the cause of an incipient revolution
last May, when General Brice, who had
only then been recalled from his appoint,
nient of Haytian Minister in London,
was assassinated by order of Domingue,
and the movement quelled. Beyond an
occasional protest and manifesto sent by
Boisrond-Canal from Jamaica, Domingue
and Kameau did very much as they
pleased until six weeks ago, when Louis
Tanis, the General in charge of the arron-
dissement of Jacmel—an important town
on the south coast of Hayti—revolted
against the government and declared
for Canal, who made an ineffect
ual attempt to land on the
island. The President at once sent
down an army of from four to six thou
sand men to besiege Jacmel, and two
Haytian men-of-war, the Saint Michael
and the “1804 ” (so-called from the year
when Hayti became a republic), to bom
bard it from the sea. Hayti, not boast
ing any trained artillerymen, gave an
acting commission as a gunnery lieuten
ant to a roving American named Gordon,
who, rumor says, has had practice during
the Cuban insurrection. The Haytian
squadron remained quietly outside until
an unsuspecting Eoglish corvette, the
Druid, entered the harbor, and after com
municating her intention to the officer in
oommand of the squadron, and getting
his permission, she let go her anchor aud
preuared to take some refugees on board,
in accordance with the wish of Her British
Majesty’s Consul. At 4 a. m., while
quite dark, to the astonishment of all
on board, the “ 1804,” which had
taken up a position directly astern of
the Druid, began to throw shell into
the town. The forts could not at first
reply to this fire, as the “1804” was
quietly making the Druid into a shield,
aud had they fired the probability is
that the Druid would have been hit. By
tie time the latter vessel had got steam
up and was under weigh, it was daylight,
and the forts could bring their guns to
bear on thflSaint Michael and tho “1804,”
which steamed away to a distance of
three thousand yards, and threw all their
shells into the water instead of into the
town. The laud forces were meanwhile
attacking tho town on all sides, but the
insurgents, who were all armed with the
Henry rifle, and who fought behind
strong barricades, were able to repulse
the government troops with scarcely any
loss to themselves, and a loss to. the
former of over fifty killed. The desd
were all buried after the engagement.
The only damage the ships received was
caused bv their making fast their guns to
prevent the rc-coil, the result being that
the 100-pounder Parrott guns carried
away a portion of the bulwark aud came
partly through the deck. This was tho
only fighting that occurred during the
revolution, and the troops anti men-of-
war, after listlessly blockading the
town for some weeks, went over
to the insurgents and declared
for Boisrond Canal. This was on
Saturday, the 15th of April. That very
day Domingue and Kameau, at Port-au-
Prince, appeared to have au inkliDg of
what was about to happeD, and Kametu
went to the National Bank, where were
deposited $500,000 in silver and millions
in paper currency. With a party of tbirly
soldiers he loaded a wagon with boxes of
dollars and sent them down to the wharf,
to be embarked on a schooner which he
had chartered for the purpose. Already
one wagon load had been embarked, and
another load was beiDg escorted down,
when the citizens became exasperated at
seeing the money so openly stolen from
the bank, and assembled by scores at the
wharf ; the scores soon increased to hun
dreds and thousands, and they refused to
allow the dollars to be embarked. Cries
of “A bas Domingue,” “Vive Boisrond-
Canal,” became general, and the soldiers
in charge of the mpney deserted in alarm.
The whole town now swarmed with armed
men, who went to the National Palace,
where Domingue, his wife and Kameau
had taken refuge. The French Min
ister, the Marquis de Vosges and
the French Vice Consul hurried
to the palace to try and take them
to the French Consulate and to save their
lives. Domingue, however, was clubbed
on the head with a musket, and then
stabbed, but was carried, still breathing,
into the Consulate. Rameau was shot in
the neck from behind, and, when fallen,
was most brutally murdered The popu
lation could not show their detestation of
him sufficiently, and trampled every ves
tige of humanity out of him. One wo
man in particular, a perfect fury—a sister
of the General Brice above mentioned as
having been assassinated last May—-
dipped her handkerchief in Kameau's
blood, and, waving it over her head with
one hand while she shouldered a rifle with
the other, led a party of over five hun
dred men through the town to the bank,
which they at once pillaged. The sol
diers and townsmen broke open the
chests of dollars, which they threw about
the streets without thinking of pocket
ing them, and thrust their bayonets
through the piles of new paper currrency,
almost ready for circulation—in fact,
only waiting for Domingue’s signa
tare to replace the money
filched from the State by Kameau.
The populace feemed mad with excite
ment, and the money that had been em
barked on board the schooner was thrown
overboard, and some enterprising negroes
have been hard at work ever since diving
for the sunken dollars. No less than
$20,000 are at the bottom of the harbor,
all round the schooner ; and of the 500,-
000 silver dollars in the bank at noon,
not one was in it at 4 o’clock the same
afternoon. The English and American
ministers had ridden off when the out
break first took place, at the President’s
wish, to ask General Lorquet, who was
at a distance of sixty miles from the cap
ital with 2,000 trustworthy men, to re
turn to the capital and try to prevent the
atrocities that were feared. Lorquet, un
fortunately, was almost as unpopular as
Kameau; but he returned with
his staff and some hundred men, and
finding Domingue and Rameau murdered,
he got his troops to cry “ Vive Lorquet,
President,” apparently thinking he was
in favor. The infuriated people, how
ever, would hear no name but Boisrond-
Canal, and, having broken into Lorquei’s
house, they brutally murdered him. True
it is—it seems almost like a romance—
that the English Minister, Major Stewart,
an old cavalry officer, rode over a hun
dred miles on one horse to bnng General
Lorquet to the capital, and that on his
return, the instant the saddle was re
moved, the gallant animal fell down dead.
It was a present from Gen. Domingue to
the Major. The town is now compara
tively qniet, but the streets are full of
soldiers, and a Committee of Safety has
been formed to look *hrA”j-.'rsts of
the State until thi 4 ^^ 6
held for the new rorces. 'v.
Gen. Boi8H>nd-Cem rd otreet. Savannah,
Mr. Kerr and the Greene-Harney
Scandal.
The scandal with which an endeavor is
made to smirch Speaker Kerr is one par
ticularly worthy of note in this era of
mud-throwing. The story is simply this:
A Mr. Greene, of New York, having failed
to obtain an appointment by ordinary
and honorable means, applied to a door
keeper of the House of Representatives,
one Harney, who proposed finally to get
Greene the position through Mr. Kerr,
and upon the payment of a sum of money,
which was to go to Mr. Kerr through
Harney. The appointment was made,
Greene having been introduced to Mr.
Kerr by Harney, and having a subse
quent interview with him, at whioh, be
it noted, the subject of the money
Greene had paid to Harney was never al
luded to. Before touching the money
question let us glance at another—namely,
why Mr. Kerr, of Indiana, gave an ap
pointment at all to a New Yorker. The
evidence of Greene and Harney estab
lishes that Mr. Kerr had made an appoint
ment from his district, but the appointee
declined to go before the examiners, and
the appointment remained open. This
also explains why Harney selected Mr.
Kerr as his victim, no other Congressman
being found with an appointment not
already taken up. We seethe money safe
and sound in the self-confessed rascal’s
pocket; there is no dispute about that.
But before the committee yesterday,
after a display of unwillingness recalling
the coyness of that monumental slanderer
Iago, Harney asks the world to believe
that he handed the money to Mr. Kerr at
the latter’s request. Such is the flimsy
story to which Mr. Kerr yesterday gave
an explicit denial, and on his record and
his circumstances—those of a man still
poor in the midst of a hundred tempta
tions to become iniquitously rich—there
is no difficulty iu deciding whom to be
lieve—the thrifty creature driven to a
corner and with a present partisan cause
for attacking the Speaker of the House,
cr the statesman of unblemished charac
ter and proud record. Where the money
that Mr. Verdant Greene paid to Harney
remained we think can be judged
by a parallel with the following
authentic case: A gentleman unused to
business transactions, about to go to
Europe, and not intending to return, was
told by a “friend” that he would not only
attend to getting the ticket but procure
it at a reduced rate. The sum named
was handed to the “friend,” who said it
was all right, but deferred giving the
ticket until the steamer was about to sail.
Then ho pinned it in tho gentleman's
pocket, to “save trouble, avoid risk of
thieves,” etc. When fairly at sea the
gentleman examined the ticket and found
it was a free pass. The beauty of this
transaction was that the gentleman had
clear evidence that his “friend” was a
fraud. This describes Greene’s relation
to Harney. Mr. Kerr, like the steam
ship company, was innocently abused in
the shabby transaction.—AC I'. Herald.
Arrested on a Serious Charge.—In
March last Edward Downing, a wel:
known farmer residing near New Castle,
Delaware, died, after a short illness. On
Saturday last his son, Edward Downing,
Jr., made oath before a Coroner that he
had reason to believe that his father had
been poisoned by his mother, aided by a
young man named Thomas Phillips, who
once worked on his father’s farm, and
who was discharged on account of sup
posed undue intimacy with Mrs. Downing.
The young man recites a number bf cir
cumstances tending to show improper iu
timacy between the parties, and a desir<
to cause the death of his father. The
Coroner has ordered the disiuterment ol
the remains iu order to a post mortem
examination.
How Fuchs Deceived the News.—
When Andreas Fuchs, sentenced to death
for the murder of Wm. W. Simmons, was
informed yesierday that the Governor
had commuted his sentence to imprison
ment for life, he buried his face in hi-
handkerchief aud burst into tears. Then
he brightened up and exclaimed, “Veil,
dat’s good. I guess we have some beer. ”
After it was furnished he drained the
pitcher, and then reiterated, “Dat’s
good, dat’s goed,” doubtless referring a-
well to the beverage as to the news.
Another crying spell followed, aftei
which be smoked his pipe for a long
time. He will be taken to Sing Sing to
day.—N. Y. Tribune, 27.
One of the most touching things abou!
the canvass for Presidential candidates ii-
the firm and loyal friendship existing be
tween Jay Gould and Brother Blaine.
Jay Gould’s heart is evidently enlisled iu
behalf of his man. Besides, he bas vast
Union Pacific interests at stake, and he
is one of those men whose heart is wher<
his treasure is.—N. Y. Sun.
Three gentlemen who studied by the
light of the same lamp were troubled by
a dull feeling in the head, which finally
ripened into long continued headache.
The shade of their lamp was of a green
color, and on examination it was found to
contain arsenic, which the heat had lib
era- ed. A change of lamp shades checked
the headaches.
