Considering that some of our warm er ;s;?nal friends are citizens of Atlanta l muds to reason that onr criticisms were in*, it led to apply indiscriminately to every- in that town. Hr. James G. Whitaker, one of the best izens of Baldwin county, is dead. Air. Francis Orr, of Washington county, is suffering trom dropsy, has had one tendrod and thirteen gallons of water lien from him in eight months. Some sa ought to inform Mr. Orr that a diet of li an Spring water aud lemons will cure la in two months—and we don’t charge citking for the information. We are reliably informed that the Hon. Petiphar Peagreen, of Tugaloo, is not in tar of removing the capital from At kina. We suspected as much. Tie Macon Telegraph doesn’t think Mayor luff is going to Colorado jnst yet. He has tjaed a plantation and a mill,and the proba bilities are that be will stay somewhere in neighborhood. Well, we are glad of it Hack men are.too rare in G eorgia to emi- frate. The crop prospects in Washington county Bit never more promising. It is stated that Mrs. Jennette Wheeler, of Effingham county, is one hundred and taentf years old, and still retains, to a re- Suktble degree, her faculties of mind and kid;. Miss Jiliia Doughty, daughter of Dr. Wm. ^.Doughty, of Augusta, is dead. The Mayor of Atlanta proposes to send a #» to the Centennial. Onillium Moore, of be Augusta Constitutionalist, alluding to to, proposes, in a suspiciously ready man at, that Aldermau Maddox take his bull* “ifand the rest of the City Council to the ihos. Mr. Antony W. Bates, oi Lawrenceville, is til. Mr. Jjbn H. James was thrown from a “ggy iu Gwinnett county the other day, Hd slightly bruised about the face. The S&udersville Herald says the yield of bs wheat crop in that section will be the digest tor many years. Ike oat crop of Judge William S.

Finally young James J. H. ESTILL, PROPRIETOR. SAVANNAH. FRIDAY, JUNE 9. 1876. ESTABLISHED 1850. came np with one of the dogs, killed it, and put a stop to the further slaughter of his sheep. During the last Legislature, and while the dog law waB pending, Air. James opposed it, but now, since he has seen the practical operation of a regular built sheep killing dog, it is' probable he has changed his mind. Mr. John W. Dozier, an old citizen of Tal bot county, is dead. Mr. Hiram McDaniel, of Talbot county, is accused by the Standard of raising oats with heads two feet in length. Fort Talley people carry their babies to church. Conductors cn the Southwestern Road wear striped hose. The Bainbridge Democrat has cut down to & half-sheet, but the mutilation doesn’t interfere with its liveliness. Bainbridge has organized an immigration society. Quitman Reporter : We have been able to find but two men in this section who are not in favor of removing the capital from Atlanta back to Milled reville, and those men are E. C. Wade and Sam Griffin—both Federal officeholders, and the only white Radicals in Brooks county. The Kimball House has been sold again. To whom does the concern belong, anyhow? Quitman Reporter : We were in Savannah laBt week, and heard ono of the most level headed, influential merchants of that city say that he would never he satisfied until the State capital was removed from Atlanta back to Milledgeville. There are thousands of just such high-toned patriotic old Geor gians who hope to live to see our State Gov ernment returned to its former seat, where, relieved from its present influences, our laws can be made and administered honest ly, and for the general good and improve ment of the entire community—not Atlanta alone. Bainbridge Democrat: Triplet says the P. G. in G. was at the Thomasville ball. Well, how is the old woman, anyhow ? Fort Valley Mirror: A fly is a very inno cent little piece of household furniture. At this season of the year he will mount your smeller with as much assurance and com placency as a school boy on a rostrum, staud on his fore legs and rub his hind ones together like a butcher whettiDg his meat knife. Waynesboro Expositor: Air. E. J. Harri son, who lives near Munnerlyu, informed a gentleman of our town that a few days since three of his cows came home, each with a black snako wrapped arouud one of their hind legs, and that the snakes were busily engaged in filching the lacteal fluid from the cows. That this is true we have not the slightest doubt, as the gentleman is one of veracity, and can prove the truth of the statement by his wife. After mature delibe ration we are of the opinion that every black snake ought to be smitten on the head till it dies. Waynesboro Expositor : A young man of our town has been visiting a young lady, who lives about nine miles from this place. A few days ago he made one of his usual visits, carrying with him two pounds of candy, one quart of plums, one dozen cigars, three sticks of chewing gum, comb, brush and looking-gla68, two extra collars, one Colt’s repeater, an extra pair of suspenders, one pocket dictionary, one copy of Chester field on Etiquette, and numerous other things. We can’t conceive why he should have taken so much with him, as he only intended remaining four or five hours. Compliments of the Quitman Reporter to the Atlanta Constitution: ls that the hist you could do, bub ? The “ abused ” cer tainly have a very poor mouth-piece if you can’t blow a stronger blast than lltat, and when the proposed removal of the State capital comes to a square issue, Atlanta aud her “ wealthy and respectable citizens ” of bond-Btandiug, banquet-giving, bonus-tak ing propensities will be very apt to come out at the little end of the horn. Don’t think that you are going to always bluff the honest people of the State by such silly squibs as the above whenever anything is said about the removal of the capital. The developments of the last three months in Atlanta have convinced the people, outside of that remarkable city, that in order to bring our State Government back to its former purity aud honest management, its headquarters must be taken away from the “wealthy” and “abused” of Atlanta. The change must be made, and the people are beginning to see it, and the Atlanta trumpet may as well make up its mind to change its tune and meet the issue squarely and fairly upon its merits. These hard blown bluffs have played. Florida Affairs. The next Governor of Florida : George F. Drew. Will Stearns surrender, or will Conover cave ? What has become of the Rev. John R. Scott, colored, and his numerous wives and childron ? Can any one tell us where our Tommy’s gone ? It will soon be time for another Radical State Convention in order to “heal” things. There is some consolation in reflecting that, whatever happens, tho Soap-Fat man won’t be the next Governor of Florida. The patriotic Cubans who are fighting for their country in Key West, will probably be led to the polls by Majah Purman, and if there are any imported votes from the Ba hamas this season, Conover will probably get the benefit of them. This will be hard on the Soap-Fat man. Uncle Sawyer, of the Sun, has no word of consolation for Conover. We have been la boring under the impression all the time that Uncle Sawyer was an out-and-out Con over man. He is probably waiting for the other convention. Does McLin think there is any chance for the Democrats to carry Florida this year ? The scalawags and carpet-baggers would do well to make the most of their oppor tunities for plunder during the next few months. They won’t have much of a show ing after the election. How many Radical organa will survive the Democratic victory in Florida next fall? If the Democrats and Conservatives con duct the campaign with the ardor, enthu siasm and harmony whioh has been mani fested at the Quincy Convention, they will sweep the State. If either of the Radical candidates for Governor come down, we predict it will be Stearns. Tho poor old Soap-Fat man, though he claims to be the regular nominee of the party, doesn’t possess the moral stamina nor the strength of will to make the can vass against Conover. We have a certain sort of pity for the old rascal. He has been slain by those he thought were his friends. They say Hicks fairly foamed at the month during the Radical Convention at Madison. By-the-by, what has become of Hicks’s suit for libel against W. W. Keep, of Live Oak? He ought, by all means, to briDg the case to trial. Jackson narrowly escaped a fire the other night. A lamp was discovered ablaze in a house the occupants of which had gone out. Several firemen happened to be near, and some of their number made their way through a window and threw the lamp into the street. Liberty Billings was on hand at the Madi son Convention. Talk about nice tea par ties I Look at the list of statesmen that rep resented Radicalism on that auspicious oc casion : Liberty BiiUugs, Ned Cheney,. Ma jah Turman, Bill Gleason, Simon Conover, Soap-Fat Stearns, Harmon, LeCain, Eagan, Dennis, Bisbee, Hicks, Montgomery, Pete Jones, Butler, Yellow Bluff Jenkins, Wal lace, et al., ad nauseam. Conover says he’s going to stick, is This because ho knows the Soap-Fat man—the “regular nominee”—hasn’t the courage to make the race. . If another Radical Convention is held, Dennis Eagan will be the nominee. In that case, what will Simon B. do about it? The shipments of cotton from Monticello the present season are short 264 bales as compared by weight with the shipments of last season during the same period. A blind fiddler adds to the monotony of Monticello. A negro boy was found dead near the railroad track in Jefferson county the other day. The Monticello Constitution knows of sev eral colored men in Jefferson county who say they would cheerfully vote the Democratic ticket in tho approaching election if they were not afraid they would be brutally ban died by their political leaders and the col ored race generally. This may be only a sham pretext for voting the Republican ticket, however. It is reported that it is so dry iu the prairie sections of Brevard county that alli gators are drying up and dying for want of water. “Many,” says the Sanford Journal, “have been found dead in sinks where they had burrowed tor water, while other lo g, guant fellowB have been seen stall., g around like walking skeletons. ” Florida has contributed two stuffed a’. i- gators to the Centennial. A pickled scala wag and an embalmed carpet-bagger would have been a more characteristic contribu tion. A colony of Maine immigrants will arrive in Ocala this week. The Ocala Banner says that Mr. Benedict, a wealthy Western gentlemaD, has pur chased the Burns lauds in Marion county, consisting of about fifteen hundred acres. He has also purchased a tract oi wild or ange grove laud on Orange Lake. He will bring out a number of settlers with him early iu the fall, probably before. The same paper gays that Mr. Thomas Tilden, of New York, a near kinsman of the Governor of that State, has recently bought the DuPont plantation, about two miles southeast from Ocala. Mr. Tilden has divided it up into five and ten acre lots, which he styles “villa sites,” intersected by broad avenues. Is it possible that Thomas Telfair is away, down in the Oh Golly everglades? The Soap-Fat man, when he made his speech accepting the nomination, addressed a select audience of fifteen persons. The Jacksonville Press says that Gleason, sharp as he is, was sold out completely by Dennis, of the vulpine visage and Rey- nardian qualifications. The story goes that D. proposed a recess of ten minutes, just before the vote was takeu by the Central Committee on the contestants from Ala chua, and that G. was won over to D.’s way of thinking by the promise of the sec ond place on the ticket. It is needless to add that Gleason, the aspiring financial agent of Dade county, was left out in the cold when the ballot was taken. A Cuban baby was found upon a door-step in Key West the other night. A Chinaman knew the wretched mother and the infant was returned to her. The Key West cigars bring in an annual income of $2,500,000. Jacksonville Union : The steamer Hatiie Barker came in from Enterprise yesterday with eleven passengers and a lot of beans, cucumbers, etc., for New York. Her com mander, Captain Barker, states that the water at Lake Monroe has risen about six inches, and that on his last trip the river seemed swarming with alligators ; they were thicker than he had ever seen them before. This boat took s me forty or fifty passen gers to the bar last Sunday, and will go again next Saturday, returning Monday morning. Captain Barker wishes some high-toned philosopher to explain why the water of Lake George has such a deep green color, while it is clear elsewhere in the river. Can any one tell? Majah Purman : Among the busy ants can plainly be seen ono fat, porpoisey one which attracts some attention from the fact ,bat it has a few others which seems to ac company this big fat one as a retinue in va rious menial capacities. Two of this retinue are dog-auts, which do the barking for the fat one, aud are called Cheney and JIoLiu; two are mule-ants upon which the fat one rides, and are called Martin and Little Den nis; and one is a jackass-ant which furnishes the chin-mnsic by braying, and creates fun for tbe multitudo by being the object of laughter, jokes and contempt for the ant boys. The name of this ornamental ant is Hicks. Jacksonville Union: Mr. N. B. Gruella, who has recently become a citizen of Orange county, has just returned from a visit to tbe Northern States, and reports that a com pany has been formed, consisting of Illinois and New York capitalists, to build a new railway, to be called tho Chicago, Florida and West India line, starting from Dupont, Georgia, and rnnning t > rough Columbia, Alachua, Marion, Sumter, Polk aud Manatee counties to Charlotte Harbor, with a branch from the most available point in Polk county to Tampa, to bo called the Lake Monroe and Tampa road. Mr. Gruella is a civil engineer with much practical experience in railroad matters, and represents the company as its Secre tary. He states that the stockholders are nearly all intending to settle in Polk county, and that tho bnil ling of the road is a fixed fact, although the actual route cannot bo determined until a thorough survey is made. He thinks this will be sufficiently advanced for the grading to be commenced this fall. The data on which this railroad line has been predicated, is found in tbe map of this State drawn from the coast sur vey reports made when Jefferson Davis was Secretary of War, and is by far the most complete map of this State extant. Pensacola Express: On Wednesday we got on the train at Shade’s station, P. A: L. R. B. In the front car was a lady with four daughters, and one other passenger; in the rear were four white men, Hester, Schell, Kellv, aud one whose name we did not learn, al! aimed with shot guns and pistols. They stopped tho train just out of Molino, by ordering a colored brakesmaD, with cocked guns, to enforce the order, to tell the engineer to stop and back down to get some money they had lost, which was just ten cents. When we got on board, Mr. Mallory had the armed men tolerably quiet. No further outbreak was looked ’for, although they hallcoed at every person the train passed, aud varied this amusement with an occasional Bhot from tbe car. When the tr.dn arrived at Gonzalia, Hester shot a negro, who ran from him. Hester and Schell followed the man through an old store-house, firing an other shot, the man falling just in front of the engine. Hester drew a broad-bladed knife, stabbing him several timeB in tbe back and once in the neck, breaking the blade off in tbe negro’s body. As Hester left him be shouted : “I’m a white man, I am!” No provocation was given for tbe attack; the men, Hester and Schell, simply cat and snot him because be was black. Tbe four men got off the train at Oakfield, as they said, to kill another colored man near Ferry Pass. A warrant was issued for the arrest of these three men, and the delay of its execution, which gave them a chance to escape, is yet to be accounted for. A Radical Postmaster has his Own Wife and Child Aeeested for Theft.— Some time since we mentioned the fact that A. J. Swinson, white Republican, and magistrate in Northwest township, Brunswick county, made an attack on his wife which was at first thought to be seri ous, that Mrs. Swinson and her son had left his house, and that he had posted a notice on his door preventing their re turn to his roof. It seems that Swinson is also a postmaster, and that he has since added another chapter to his own degra dation, if such a thing is possible, by issuing out a warrant against his wife and son, charging them with a theft of money, postal cards and stamps from the office under his control. The case was heard yesterday afternoon before United States Commissioner Cassidy, and tbe lad A. S. Swinson was bound over for his appear ance at the next term of the District Court in the sum of $200.— Wilmington Review. A Burglar Swearing His Victim on the Bible.—Martin Armstrong, a farmer, who lives about two miles from the vil lage of Coxsackie, had iu his employ a farm hand named Wm. C. Martin, aged about twenty years. On Wednesday morning last Mr. Armstrong was aroused from sleep by a noise in his bed-room, and on opening his eyes beheld Martin standing over him, and before he had a chance to speak Martin seized his em ployer by the throat. Upon releasing his hold Martin took Mr. Armstrong’s pistol, pulled one from his own pocket, both of which he presented at the gen tleman’s head, telling him he had only a short time to live. Martin then picked up a Bible and made his victim swear that he would not lisp a word about his entranoe into his room. This promise secured, Martin robbed Mr. Armstrong and fled.—Hudson (iV. 71) Republican.

London, J one 8.—The limes's Berlin spe cial reports that numeious Sclavonic jour nals assert that a strong: ltussian force is being concentrated at Bender, on the river Dneister, near the Xluldavo, on the Turkish frontier. The Prince of Montenegro has forbidden transmission of telegrams or letters giving information of mili tary movements. The Herzegovinians, under control of the Prince of Montenegro have determined to accept no communication from the Porte. The Sclavonian committee at Moscow have sent the insurgents one hundred thousand roubles. The same dispatch says it appears that on June 1st, rival propositions touch ing a settlement of the EaHtciu -aai*..*- tion .were received at Vienna from Bug- land and Russia. Similar communications were probably made by both powers to Ber lin prior to the Emperor William’s postpon ing his contemplated trip to Ems. News has jnst been received that the Austrian Government lias again permit ted 6,000 breech-loaders and several millions of cartridges to be landed at Cattaro for the Moutenegraus. The Turks have consequently forbidden the Aus trian steamers from touching at the Turkish bank of the Danube. A Vienna dispatch to the Daily Telegraph mentions a report that Germany and Austria declined a suggestion made by Russia to postpone the recognition of Murad until he wa3 willing to receive advice from the powers. Tne Telegraph's correspondent at Paris announces that the Grand Duke Michel, of Russia, has arrived there. The LeSoir says ‘‘great importance is attached to the visit iu political circles. We believe it indie ites the restoration of French inlluence in the councils of Eu rope.” London, Jane 8.—A special dispatch from Vienna to the Daily Telegraph says: “It is stated that Count Andrassy has been asked to meet Prince Gortschakoff aud Prince Bismarck at Ems, bat has not yet definitely accepted the invitation.” Vienna, June 8.—A telegram from Bel grade, received here, announces hat the Servian Government has declared it wiii follow the recommendation of Russia not to enter into hostilities against Turkey. CAPITAL NOTES. Washington, June 8.—In the Senate, West, from the Committee on Appropriation, reported the pest office appropriation bill with amendments, and gave notice that he would call it up for consideration to-morrow. In the sub-Judiciary Committee Green tes tified that in a conversation between himself and Stewart, in regard to bringing a suit, Green alluded to some difficulty about Biaine’s name appearing in it. Stew art did not say that James G. Blaine was or was not mixed up iu it. Witness spoke of tbe person as Speaker Blaiue, Stewart used the name Hon. Jas. G. Blaine, or Jas. Blaine. This is in regard to the quarter million bonds distributed by J. B. btewart. This is the Stewart who was in the custody of the House, under arrest for contempt during the Credit Mobilier iuves- t'.gation. In tho Senate, during the morning hour, Mr. Mituhell moved to take up the resolu tion reported by tho Committee on Privi leges aud Elections to pay P. B. S. Pinch- back the compensation and mileage of a Senator from the State of Louisiana, from the beginning of the term for which ho was a contestant to tho termination of the con test. Several Senators of tho Democratic side objected, and the yeas and nays being called, the motion to take it up was reject ed, 20 to 19, Mr. Christiancy voting with the Democrats in the negative.

The suit is on the company’s notes for $251,000 worth of railroad iron to build the road from Dav enport, Iowa, to St. Paul, Minn. These notes are now dne and unpaid, and the question is whether the defendants, or the corporation, or the partnership, are indi vidually iiablo. THE INDIAN TROUBLES. Washington, June 8.—Indian Agent John P. Clum, from the Cliericahua Agency, Jane 5th, says that Eskingo, the notorious ieader of the* hostile Indians, has been killed by bis son Cochise. Peaceful removal or war will be the result of the negotiations this week. Omaha, Neb., June 8.—A dispatch re ceived at department headquarters this morning, dated Fort Laramie, June 7, says an Indian courier from Red Cloud brings this report: Just before he left, an In dian arrived from the mouth of Tongue river. Ho found there 1,275 lodges under Sitting Bull, Crazy Horae and others. They were on their way to Powder river to fight Crook on his return. He saw the same band that Egan saw May 17. They told him they had met Custer’s troops and had fought them all clay, many being killed on both sides. No result is reported. This occurred about eight days ago. SPEAKER KERR’S ACCUSER. Washington, June 8.—Hon.Morgan Jones, a member of Congress in 1866, testified that Lawrence Harney called upon him that year and asked him to appoint Augustus P. Greene a Lieutenant in the army. Harney informed witness that he (Harney) would get a nice present if Greene was appointed. Witness told Harney he had nothing to do with that, and told him that he had known Greene longer than Harney had. He had no application from his own district, but appointed a young man whom he had kuown from boyhood. Otherwise he would probably have appoint ed Greene. Hon. Nelson Taylor, formerly a member from New York, testified that he took an interest in Greene from testimonials he had received, but not on Harney’s account. He appointed a young man from his own dis trict. CONGRESSIONAL. Washington, June 8.—In the House, the post route bill passed. It throws additional guards arouud bids. The Judiciary Committee reported the bill prescribing’oaths for grand and petit United States jurors. It abolishes the iron clad. Pending its discussion the morning hoar expired. The Senate, amendments to the bill relative to custom house bonds were adopted, and jt goes to the President. Blaine said he had entered a motion to re consider the vote bv which the Judiciary Committee were allowed to print the evi dence. He wanted to have the London dis patch embodied. Mr. Hunton had no sort of objection, but Mr. Southaid objected. Mr. Tarbox made a personal explanation. The resolution introduced by him was not aimed at Mr. Blaine. He then gave a his tory of the resolution and a general review of the matters developed under it. During the discussion it was shown by Blaine’s friends that Tarbox bad a copy of Blaine’s financial speech before it was delivered. Upon this side issue Blaine said: “How it came into his possession I do not know, and I never have been able to know, but have surmised. I assert that it was there—that it was in his possession for some weeks, and that his holding it wss a violation of the primal laws of honesty as much as it he held my watch—jnst the same. I have never recognized the gentleman since, and I only recognize him to-day to make that statement. I will now take up the motion for reconsidering the vote on the resolution for printing certain evidence. Tarbox here rose. The Speaker pro tern. asked Blaine whether he yielded the floor to Tarbox. Blaine—I will hear wnat ne has ^ say. Tarbox—I understood the gentleman from Maine to indicate that I offered a printed speech purporting to be his to some uewspaper. Blaine—I had heard it. Tarbox—It is not true. Blaiue—The gentleman stated a while ago that it was not true that he had a copy. Tarbox—I made no such statement. Blaine—I now call up the motion to re consider the vote ordering certain testi mony to be printed. Lord claimed the right of going on with the Geneva award bill. In the course of a parliamentary condict over the point, Blaine stated that all he wanted was to have the Caldwell dispatch and the committee proceedings of yester day printed at the same time. Re8gan, of Texas, made tho objection that the Caldwell dispatch was no kiud of evidence. Blaiue—And yet yon reported a vote of ceusure on General Scbenck on the same kind of evidence. Spriuger, of Illinois—That is not the case. The Committee on Foreign Affairs did re ceive certain telegrams from London with respect to his connection with the Emma mine, but in every iostanco before use was made of them they were submitted to Gen eral Schenck for his statement in regard to them. Blaine—Why did you not submit this dis patch to me ? Springer—I presume it will be submitted to the gentleman iu good time. Blaiue persisted in holding the floor, not withstanding the Speaker’s hammering and demands for order. Blaine—One momen 4 , Mr. Speaker. Tbe Speaker pro fern.—No, sir. The gen tleman will be seated. The chair must come to the point of order in furtherance of the public business. The decision of the chair is that the gentleman from Maine can not call up the motiou to reconsider while the Geneva awaid bill is before the House. Blaiue—Then I understand the chair to rule that I have lost my' control over the motion. The Speaker pro tem—No, sir. Tho chair has ruled no such thing. The chair wi 1 recognize the gentleman when there is nothing properly pending before the House. Blaine—I desire permission to say The Speaker pro fern., interrupting—Does the gentleman take an appeal? Blaiue—I merely want to say that in sub mitting to it as I do, gracefully, I do not at all concur in it. The Speaker—The chair did not suppose anything of the kind. The House thou resumed the considera tion of the Geneva award bill. Spencer, from Louisiana, was seated in the Senate. The bill relating to tbe jurisdiction of the Circuit Courts in issuing injunctions was passed. Maxey’s resolution of inquiry about bonds ’predicated upon conditional land grant was adopted. The silver bill was taken up, aud after a long discussion was postponed to Tuesday, the 20th. Mr. Gordon presented the petition of S. D. Lee, of Mississippi, for the removal of his political disabilities. Confirmations: W. W. Sykes, Consul to Cardiff; J. L.

The entire fall was 146 feet, down precipices and over rocks and the rough hillside. Harbin was unconscious when he was picked up, but his senses speedily returned to him. His skull and collar bone were broken.—Madison (Ind.) Courier, 24ihuU. Probabilities.—Probably if Col. Thos. A. Scott had been aware how sudden and complete was to be the overthrow cf James G. Blaine, he would not have been so swift a witness to deliver such exceed ingly thin testimony in Blaine’s behalf. Probably if Col. Thomas A. Scott had been aware how sudden and complete would be the revelation of his invest ments in Democratic newspapers, he would have thought twice before he put up the large sums of money that were requisite for that purpose.—j\T. Y. Sun. THE FLORIDA DEMOCRATS. I)ny Before Ibe Convention—Arrivnl of Delegatee—Enthusiasm and Harmony. [Special Correspondence oi the Morning New. ] Quincy, Fla., June 6, 1876. Contrary to the expectations of the community, about one hundred delegates to the State Democratic and Conservative Convention, which meets to-morrow, ar rived to-day, it being supposed that the delegates en masse would come by to morrow’s train. As the cordial hand of welcome was extended, the heart truly fell that “there was life in the old land yet,” and the glorious day might come when the political administration of Florida would be more satisfactory in the present and more hopeful in the future. Ou the morning’s train came Polk, Orange, Sumter, Duval, Nassau, Columbia, Suwanuee, Madison, Alachua and Marion county delegates, as weil as from other counties, and there was a general rejoicing of such a prospect of A FULLY ATTENDED CONVENTION. But late in the afternoon when a special train brought Escambia’s large delegation and several other delegates from various counties, a quiet enthusiasm was aroused which made men loug for the contest whose result is to speak the glad notes of the State’s redemption in November next. At night there was much CONSULTATION AMONG THE DELEGATES present, and the result of it was a general conviction that George F. Drew, of Eila- viile, would be the nominee for Governor, notwithstanding that several counties favored Colonel J. J. Daniel, of Jackson ville, for that position. Iu the meantime the Quincy string band serenaded the delegates, and short and felicitous speech es were made, upon being called on, by Colonels Call, Cooper, Davidson, and Mr. John Hartridge. Jacob. The Gubernatorial Canvass. [From the Columbus Times of Tuesday.] We make extracts from several of our State exchanges giving variant views of the gubernatorial canvass in its present stage. We expect this canvass to warm up and become more active from this time out, as the Democratic Executive Committee, which meets in Atlanta to morrow, will no doubt appoint a day for the assembling of the State Convention; and we will endeavor to keep our readers promptly advised of its progress. Notice is taken of a circular or letter, addressed to Hon. Hersehel V. Johnson, asking him to declare himself a candi date, and of a rumor that he will shortly announce himself in the field. While we agree with the Augusta Chronicle that there appears to be nothing in this move ment to justify the denunciations of the Atlanta Constitution’s correspondent, we do not think that the friends of the ex- Governor have prosecuted thtir canvass iu his behalf in a manner consistent with their declarations that he did not desire the office but they want ed to give him the nomination as a means of reconciliating the divisions in the party. Before Gov. Smith's refusal to run—when there seemed to be a proba bility that the delegates would be so much divided in support of the avowed candidates that neither one of them could obtain a clear majority in the convention —it was obviously the purpose of ex- Governor Johnson’s friends not to make any open contest in the county meetings, but to bring him forward in the expected contingency of a prolonged contest in the convention, ss a compromise candi date. He would thus have been presented as the active opponent of no one of the aspirants, but as a non-contestant upon whom they might all unite. But since Gov. Smith’s declination, all the accounts have war ranted the belief that Gen. Colquitt would have a clear majority over all his com petitors and would obtain the nomina tion, unless some new candidate could be brought out to divert from him some counties which he could carry against any of his old competitors. Therefore the friends of ex-Governor Johnson wish now to bring him out to make a contest for the delegations in some of the eastern counties, which no present competitor can take from Genera! Col quitt. This may not incur the impu tation of trickery or j ustify the designa tion of it os a “secret ring,” but it does not appear to us to be consistent with the claim at first set up for the ex-Gov- ernor by his friends—that it was neces sary to kill off all the eager aspirants for the office and to impress into the service a man of his ability and character, as a means of reconciling the divisions in the party. On the contrary, his open candi dacy seems now to be sought as a means of re opening a division which was nearly healed, and further distracting the party which was about to be united. We are satisfied that no course which Gov. Johnson’s friends can now take will hs effective to prevent the nomination of Gen. Colquitt. There is evidently a strong popular feeling for Colquitt, not in any particular section merely, but all j over the State. It is too late for the friends of Governor Johnson to turn back the tide of popular sentiment. But if ex-Governor Johnson is brought out, the friends of General Colquitt should be aroused to greater effort to give him a clear majority over all others in the convention. Johnson's candidacy will add a new element to the opposition, and make it more formidable in the event of a combination against Colquitt. How ever ex-Governor Johnson may answer the letter sent him, let the friends of General Colquitt stand firm and their lines cannot be broken. Some marvels of human ingenuity may be seen at the London Scientific Exhibi tion. Thus, a machine, loaned by Sir W. Armstrong, the great gun-maker, measures thickness up to the one-thou sandth part of an inch, and another, on the same principle, to the one-millionth part. The delicate balance of Mr. Oert- ling carries 3,000 grains, and turns dis tinctly with the one-thousandth part of a single grain. Among th6 historical- in struments is the chronometer sent by the Koyal United Service Institution, which was twice carried out by Captain Cocke, and again by Captain OslighJ in 1787. When the crew of the Bounty mutinied, this veteran timekeeper was carried to Pitcairn’s Island by the mutineers, and sold by Adams in 1808 to an American Captain who touched there. He sold it in Chili, and in 1840 it was bought at Valparaiso by Sir Thomas Herbert, taken to China by him, and finally brought back to England in the Blenheim. A pair of silver kettledrums has just been presented to the Fifth Lancers (British] regiment. These drums, the labor of five months, are intended to re place the silver drums of the regiment destroyed in the fire at the Tower of Lon don. They are hammered out of sheet silver, and are 960 ounces in weight, with mountings of the pure metal. Silver drums are not destined merely for show, for it is well known that the tone pro duced is both sweet and sonorous. Four other cavalry regiments possess silver kettledrums, First and Second Life Guards, the Royal Horse Guards (blue), and the Third Hussars; the first three regiments received them as a gift from royalty, and one of them, belonging to the Third Hussars, was won in fair fight at the battle of Dettingen, where it was captured by a trumpeter in face of the enemy. A hero among workingmen is M. A. Karis, a slater, of Anthione, Belgium. He had to ascend the summit of the church steeple at Ville-sur-Ourthe to fix the lightning conductor. His comrade mounted on his shoulder to pour some molten lead into the socket, when a violent gust of wind caused part of the liquid mass to fall on Karis’s shoulder and arms. He dared not budge, for the least movement would have precipitated his comrade from the dizzy height into the street far below, so he remained firm, and allowed tbe molten lead to eat into bis flesh rather than sacrifioe his comrade. Ihe Fall of a Sultan. [From the Louisvil e Courier-Journal.] The deposition of the Sultan of Turkey has invested the situation in tbe East with an interest which the lengthy and conflicting accounts of the revictualicg of Niksiki failed to inspire. Doubtless tbe Sultan himself was more astonished than his people or the world at large. A human being educated to the sense of superiority which this unworthy ruler harbored, thus suddenly cast from his pedestal, offers a theme for reflections that suggest themselves to any one who gives the far-off subject a moment’s thought. The head of the church in the East, “The Shadow of God,” was so lofty in his tinseled glory that the murmurs of the people, so far beneath him, failed to reach him. A child in politics, he seemed to feel that he was safe in the hands of the powers who had guaranteed the stability of his throne. His visit to the continent failed to awaken iu him any real sentiment for progress. The concentration of selfishness, he was coddled by designing and impotent min isters. The critical press of Europe could not discover in his face intellectual qualities, or penetrate beyond the indo lent look of his sensual eyes. Without resources of mental amusement, as one correspondent who recently was admitted to an audience described him, “ the im pression his imperial majesty made upon me is that of a man consummately bored.” The government under him was worse than a farce, for it was a system of ex tortion and oppression. Without principles of government, giving into ihe hands of a Viz.er all political power for such a time as n pleased him, and his exchequer was re plenished, he becim ; 3 a mere man of sordid, selfish and narrow views. He wasted in luxuries; his fancies demanded useless toys, horses and carriages, kiosks and palaces, barracks and iron-clads, gilt barges, slaves and eunuchs. Besides all this, it was matter of common talk that lie was a miser of ihe lowest type, with fifteen million dollars of gold hid away in his cellars, and forty millions of his own bonds. But the dispatches an uounce the diversion of a sum exceeding this popular estimate of his private- wealth, namely, one hundred millions. No business enterprise, no corporation organized was deemed safe unless the Sultan was made a sharer, except a bonus was paid him in one shape or another. For instance, a steam navigation com pany was formed. In reality the stock in trade consisted of a miserable lot of vessels, which would have otherwise lain idle, but were employed by the admiralty in shifting troops and war material from point to point under simulated necessity. It was simply a gigantic fraud for the purpose of official robbery. No money was honestly made, but the Sultan’s share was always promptly paid. The late Essad Pasba, when Vizier, looked into the scheme and reported a loss by the company of $1,500,000 within three months. The consequence was that the Vizier was shortly afterward discharged. It was not mere gossip, it seems, which found public expression in the contmen tal papers suggesting the insanity of this august and mighty raler. Doubts were entertained as to his sani ty, aud it was believed by the terror stricken people that there was hardly any •e-xcess to which a sudden outburst of his wrath might not carry him. One ex,ires siou of a letter from Pera is notable a- events have gone. Said this correspond ent: “There are people who are of opiu ion that his storming and raging are ol1\ a device to conceal the Padisha’s inborn timidity, and that were a man found brave enough to beard the lion in his den, he would, by the very flash of his steady eye and resolute mien, readily tame the royil brute.” It is stated by those who have studied the social and political state of Turkey, that if there were no other than Tuiks in Turkey, even the wretched government that now exists could not be carried ou. The real work is carried on by subordi nates, Christians,. Greeks, or Europeans The honors and emoluments are absorbed by Musselmans. From the Sultau down there is a lack of manliness in the ruling race. The women and children are brought up under the sway of eunuchs. The real power was, aud is for that matter, in the harem. Prejudice, and lust, and greed of money are the prevailing passions. Tht Turkish land owner is a mere extor tionate voluptuary, an ignorant absentee from his estates. Trade languishes. Eu ropean civilization is discouraged. Com petency is not a question in public offices Above all this disorganization and thievery in public and private life, is the horrible incubus of a debt, with unpaid creditors clamoring for the half of the promised in terest, with fainting hopes for even that Poverty has come to the royal household, with the old miser clasping his money bags, gazing in helpless idiocy at his toys; iron-clads rusting at anchor; with more than five hundred new Krupp guns, and not a shot to load them with, and war bristling on their border. And now this pampered voluptuary must give up the Dalbrech-batcheh, and even his new palace, the gorgeous Cheragah, a glistening pile of marble, in which so many millions of his creditors’ money have been hopelessly sunk. The end o! it all is death with a pair of scissors, put ting a quietus to himself with a woman’s implement more despicable than a bare bodkin. This is but a faint picture o! the evil days and miserable ruler of tin- once formidable empire. The Osmanh have fallen indeed. There may be hope for the land yet, but, with its mixed popula tions, it demands a higher order of states manship and eivilizition than has been evinced among them these latter day s. But its complete disruption is not a mat- to be lightly wished for. Dom Pedbo at Washington’s Tomb.— In the cool of the evening the visitor^ disembarked and started up the hill to the grounds. The old family Dearborn attached to the mansion was in readiness to convey the royal party, but the Emperor preferred to walk. Tbe Empress and several lady friends took the vehicle. On arriving at the tomb the party gathered around it, while the Emperor Dom Pedro uncovered aud stood for several moments silently gazing at the sarcophagus containing the re mains of Washington. The party then made their way to the mansion, and there they were received by Madame Bergumann, President of the Board of Regents, and escorted through tbe man sion and grounds. After a lunch, served in the library. Dom Pedro returned to the Arlington.— Washington Chronicle. Lawyers are sometimes very particular’ The other day one was waited upon by a young man, who began by saying, “My father died and made a will—” “Is it possible ? 1 never heard of such a thing,” answered the lawyer. “I thought it hap poned every day,” said the young man, “but if there is to be any difficulty about it I had better give you a fee to attend to the business.” The fee was given, and then the lawyer observed, “Oh, I think I know what you mean. You mean that your father made a will and died—yes, yes; that must be it.” Ben Butler’s yacht has been placed on the docks and is undergoing expensive re pairs. The Detroit Free Press says if Butler “were still a Republican member of Congress his yacht would be repaired at one of the government yards without costing him a cent.” Yes, but it won't cost him a cent even as it is. He has enough of other people’s funds on hand to pay for the repairing of a dozen yachts, and while that money lasts he is not like ly to draw very heavily upon his own— if he can be said to have any of his own. —Courier-Journal.

The Herald thinks this can he at a coat of abontfaoo.000 Twelve general appropriation bills are required to be passed every session of Congress, to take effect on tbe 1st of July. The present condition of the bills, as shown by the statement of the Clerk of the House Committee on Appropria tions, is as follows: Tbe pension bill, appropriating $29,533,500; the fortifica tion and harbor defense bill, appropri ating $315,000, and the deficiency bill, appropriating $816,723, have l.coome laws. The navy bill, appropriat'ng $12,- 432,855, though passed by the House, has not been acted upon by the Sen ate. Tbe consular and diplomatic bill bas passed both Houses, but there is a disagreement on Senate amendments. The Joint Committee of Confer ence have reported that they are unable to agree, and the House members of the committee have asked to be discharged. The legislative, ex ecutive and judicial bill, appropriating $12,998,815. having passed the House, is now in the Senate, which proposes to in sert amendments to the extent of $3,- 608,042. The post office bill, as passed by the House, appropriates $33,739,109, and is now before the Senate committee on that subject. The river and harbor bill, appropriating $5,872,850, having passed the House, is now in the Senate. The joint conferences on the disagreeing amendments to the military acidemy bill have not made a report for a month past. The estimatfs in the sundry civil ex penses bill have been assigned to different sub committees, with a request to report to the full Committee on Appropriations at the earliest practicable time. The Indian bill, appropriating $3,905,771, is pending in the House. The army bill, appropriating $23,647,977, exclusive cf the unexpended balance made available, is ready to be reported to the House. There are over one hundred and fifty bills on tbe calendar of the Senate, more than fifty of which are of a private na ture, granting pensions, etc. Among those of an important character, which will be pressed to a vote this session, are the silver bill, the two bills recently re ported from tho Committee ou Railroads, to provide a sinking fund for the settle ment of the debt due from the Union and Central Pacific Railroads; Mr. Mor rill’s educational bill, and the bill, re ported from the Judiciary Committee on the 16th of May, to amend the act of May 31, 1870, to enforce the tights of citizens to vole so as to meet the objec tions recently expressed in the decision of the Supreme Court. In addition to these bills there are several resolutions to be considered, and some of them, if taken up, will cause lengthy discussions, espe cially the State rights resolution of Mr. Morton, submitted early in the session, for which Mr. Whyte, of Maryland, has submitted a substitute. Mr. Morton has an elaborate speech prepared in reference to his resolution, but as it will be impossible to pass it without a long debate it will probably ba allowed to go over to the next session. Mr. Sargent will make every effort to have some action taken to prevent tbe influx of Chinese to this country. There are two resolutions on that subject now before the Senate—one submitted by Mr. Sargent requesting the President to have the treaty with China modified so ss to restrict immigration, aud the other sub mitted by Mr. Edmunds instructing the Committee on Commerce to inquire what legislation, if any, is necessary on the subject. There is also a resolution before the Senate, that reported from the Committee on Privileges and Elections, to pay P. B. S. Pinchb.K k the compensation and mile age of a Senator from March 3, 1873, until the time his case was settled by the Senate. Iu regard to the bill to provide for and regulate the counting of votes for President and Vice President, which passed the Senate on ihe 24th of March, a motion to reconsider, entered by Mr. Thurman, is pending, and that will be called up at an early day. The numerous bills of less importance now on the cal endar and yet to be received from the House of Representatives, will occupy two or three weeks at least, to say noth ing of the appropriation bills yet to be acted on. iJnUioatljs.
