J. H. ESTILL, PROPRIETOR. SAVANNAH, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1877.
ESTABLISHED 1850.
This from the Augusta Chronicle and Con
stitutionalist is the brief history of the life
servmes and death of Foster Blodgett :
roster Blodgett, Esq., diedm Atlanta Mon-
day morning, at a quarter past 8 o’clock, of
typhoid fever, after an illness of four weeks.
Mr. Ripagett was born in Augusta on
*1 ivr 1 January, 1826, and was in
the fifty-second year of his age at the
time of his death. He was elected Bridge
?« e P er Clt >' Council in January,
1850, and held that office for two years.
1q 1853 he was elected member o;
Council from the First ward, and held that
position, with the exception or 1831. until
April, 1859, when be was elected Mayor.
He was re-elected in 1860, and was a candi
date in 1861, bnt was defeated by the Hon.
Robert H. May. He was Ordinary of Rich
mond county from February, 1856, to July,
1861. During the war between the States
he was Captain of the Blodgett Artillery,
from Augusta. After the war he joined the
Republican party, and was an active mem
ber of that organization. In 18G5, at the
close of the war, he was appointed Post
master by President Johnson, but was re
moved in January, 1868, and General Sum
mers placed in charge of the office as special
agent of the department. He was re
instated by President Grant April 5,
1869. He remained Postmaster until
July 1, 1869, when CaptaiD J. E.
Bryant was appointed. He was President
of the Union Republican Club of this ^xty in
1867. In May, 1867, he was appointed
Mayor of Augusta by General Pope, Military
Governor of Georgia, and retained that posi
tion until December, 1868, when Hon. IX. F.
Russell was elected Mayor. In 1867 he was
elected a delegate to the Constitutional Con
vention. February 16,1870, the Republicans
in the State Legislature voted for him for
United States Senator from Georgia, and
claimed that he was elected to that position.
The Democrats in the Legislature, who
declined to vote, protested against the
election, which they declared was i.legal
and void, because the Legislature in 1868
elected two Senators to serve one until
March, 1873, and the other until March,
1871. and that it was tbe province of the
Legislature to be elected in November. 1870,
and which would sit in January, 1871, to
elect their successors, and not the then
Legislature. Hou. Joshua Hill, then Sena
tor in Congress, from Georgia, opposed Mr.
Blodgett’s admission, and the Senate did
not admit feirn. At one time Mr. Blodgett
was Treasurer, and afterwards Superintend
ent of the State Road. After the return of
the Democrats to power in Georgia, Mr.
Blodgett moved to Newberry, S. C., and re
mained there until some months ago, when
ho took up his residence in Atlanta. His
life was insured for $2 500.”
The Sandersville Courier records the fol
lowing case of remarkable presence of mind
under very serious circumstances: “A few
days since, Hon. Henry Taylor, of this
county, in company with his litti© daughter,
ten years of age, and another little girl of
the same age, went to Walker’s mill pond
fishing. While Mr. T. was engaged in fish
ing, he heard the companion of his little
daughter cry out at the top of her voice.
On looking around, he saw bis child several
feet from tbe dam, where the water was ten
feet deep. Though never in deep water be
fore, she had not sunk, but with the skill of
an old swimmer, she kept her head above
water. This she accomplished by the use
of her hands and f et, and, above all, by
presence of mind. Th9 father s iys he clever
will know how far he jumped into the water
to rescue bis child from death. A moment
more, and she was safe on land.”

County.
Springfield, Effingham Co., Novem
ber 10, 1877.—Pursuant to a call of the

A ballot was had upon the two can
didates, when James F. Berry, having
received the highest vote, was declared
the nominee.
H. P. Brewer, Esq.j offered the follow
ing, which was adopted :
Resolved, That we make the nomination
of J. F. Berry unanimous; and that the
citizens of the county pledge themselves
to a united effort to secure the ratification
of the new constitution aud the removal
of the capital from Atlanta to Millcdge-
ville.

Senator, and requested the delegates elect
to support him in the convention.

to send the proceedings of this meeting
to the Savannah Morning News and re
quest their publication.

Thbown Overboard at Sea.—The
United States District Attorney has re
ceived from Consul Smith, at St. Thomas,
W. I., particulars of the loss at sea of
Thomas C. Whitney, master of the
American ship Marianne Nottlebohn, on
the 29th of September. The Consul’s
advices states that the vessel, being
bound from New York to San Francisco,
put in at St. Thomas, and the loss of the
master was reported. Michael Kelly, the
second mate, said that on the evening in
question he had a discussion with the
master about the trimming of the lights.
They clinched, and in the struggle the
master fell overboard. No one saw the
struggle, bnt witnesses from among the
crew reported that they saw blood on the
deck, and that there were appearances of
the blood having been wiped up, and
three of the ship’s swabs were mis3ing.
The seoond mate had threatened he would
do something some day that would send
him forward. The second mate had
registered in the shipping articles as
Michael Kelly, but told the Consul that
his name was George Horsford and that
his mother was living in Connecticut.
The blood indicated that the nr aster was
wounded before he fell or was thrown
overboard. The mate when apprehended
was put in irons, and he and the wit
nesses to his statement were sent to this
city by way of Bermuda. They were
expected to arrive Saturday night and
officers were sent down the bay by the
Marshal to await the arrival of the vessel.

Hoo Choleka Rej?obt.— Oar Western
'xchanges, at least those which have
eive’’ attention to the subject, are almost
unanimo^a in reporting less cholera
among the s'^ine this season than last.
There is of course mere or less disposi-
turn in some quarters to figure out possi
ble larger loss than heretofore, but their
data will hardly bear criticism. Beyoni
doubt there are many se^tiDns in whici
the disease prevails largely, as is the cass
every year, but taken &s a whole its prev

A synagogue has been erected in Bo
logna, in Italy, and Jewish journals make
the fact the occasion of recalling the sad
fortunes of tbe Hebrew race in that city.
For two centuries no Israelite was per
mitted to live there. In 1593 they were
expelled, 9,000 in cumber, and carried
away the bones of their ancestors to bury
them in Piave di Cento. Prior to that
the city had at one time possessed six
teen synagogues, ail of which were de
stroyed. After the accession of Pius
IX. a few Jews returned to Bologna and
settled there, but not until the eitv passed
beneath the rule of Victor Emanuel was
the erection of another synagogue per
mitted. Within recent years the Mortars
kidnapping case made Bologna notorious
throughout the world.
A Qoeee Jebsey Ghost.—One night
about three weeks ago a young lady in
Elizabeth was so badly frightened by
what she described as an object eight or
nine feet in height, dressed in a black
robe, which rose from the foot of a tree
in front of her, that she ran home and
swooned on the threshold. The object
was supposed to have been entirely imagi
nary until a group of young women were
frightened by a similar apparition while
walking on Mary street a few evenings
since. A driver and his horses were also
seared by the object, whreb, as the driver
declared, seemed to issue from the earth
in front of his horses. An investigating
committee is to ascertain, if possible,
whether tbe troublesome visitor is human
or not, and, if found to be of flesh at a
blood, to take measures for its punish
ment.
Eleven Thousand Five Hundbed and
Eighty* Doi.i.ahs fob a Foot.—The third
trial of the suit of Bernard Stamm against
the Southern Railroad Company of Long
Island was concluded on Friday. The
suit was brought for twenty-five thou
sand dollars damages for personal inju
ries, the plaintiff having had his foot
crushed. Upon the second trial he re
covered a verd’ct of seventeen thousand
dollars against the company, and then
offered to compromise for twelve thou
sand dollars, but the company refused to
comply. On Friday the jury brought in
a verdict giving the plaintiff eleven thou
saad five hundred and eighty dollars.
The company will move for a new trial
on the ground that the verdict is ex
cessive.
Two gentlemen from Copenhagen were
recently taking a walk in the “Dyre-
haven," the royal preserves, situated some
five miles from the town, when suddenly
they were attacked by a stag, which be.
gan chasing them with the evident inten
tion of goring them. One of the gentle
men, getting tired, tried as a last resource
to get up a tree, when, fortunately, the
King harpened to pass on horseback, and
observing the danger, at once charged
;he stag, and, having hit the animal a
few he^ v V blows over the head with his
hunting whip, succeeded in driving off
the infuriated anirna,. In reply to the
thanks which he received, the King only
observed, “Well, gentlemen, per^P?

Atlanta, November 12.—A lovely day,
aud Cole’s Circus have crowded our streets
iu every direction.
Bishop Pierce, Rev. Dr. Haygood,
President of Emory College, and other
distinguished preachers, have gone to
Tampa, Fia., to attend the Florida Con
ference, which commences there on
Thursday.
The Rev. J. T. Leftwich, D. D., pas
tor of the Central Presbyterian Church
in this city, was unable to preach last
night on account of temporary loss of
voice. This will be a great disappoint
ment to the Synod of Georgia, which
meetsinCoiumbuson Wednesday,as Rev.
Dr. Lsftwich is one of the ablest divines
in the denomination. It is hoped, how
ever, that he will be able to preach some
time during the session of the Synod.
The Presbyterian Churches of Florida
are also members of the Georgia Synod.
DEATH OF FOSTEB BLODGETT.
I regret to be obliged to chronicle the
death of Capt. Foster Blodgett, formerly
of Augusta, but late a resident of this
city.
Previous to his career as a Republican
politician in conhection with Gov. Bul
lock, Capt. Blodgett was a popular and
active citizen of Augusta, and served in
the Confederate army daring the late war.
For the past three or four weeks he had
been confined to his house with an attack
of typhoidfever, with varying symptoms,
which terminated fatally at about eight
o’clock this morning. The deceased
leaves a wife and some eight children,
several of whom are adults. Three
smaller children, by his last wife, have
been sadly bereft in the loss of a tender
and devoted father. The remains of
Capt. Blodgett will be carried to Augusta
to-night, to be buried by the side of his
first wife iu the cemetery of that city.

A TOWN WELL NAMED.
The last number (November 31) of tbe
Georgia Life and Guide, issued from
the Franklin Steam Printing House in
this city, contains a well executed map
and accompanying sketch of the new and
growing town of Lake Maitland, Orange
county. Fla. The place is appropriately
called Lake Maitland, as tbe map shows
some eight or ten lakes within the town
limits. Among the persons who own
orange groves on these lakes are Dr. J. P.
Logan, of this city; Capt. John A. Grant,
now of Memphis, Tenn ; Dr. F. A.
Stanford, of Columbus; B. R. Swope,
E-q., of Virginia; Gen. Alfred Iverson, of
Macon; G. H. Park wood, E-q , of Louisi
ana; Bishop Whipple, of Minnesota; Rev.
Dr. Little, of Canada; and other equally
prominent gentlemen-
It is at Lake Maitland that the Orange
County Fruit Growers’ Association desire
to have a “Tropical Botannieal Garden”
established, provided Congress, to whom
they propose to petition, will appropriate
a sufficient sum to carry the project into
operation and keep the “garden” main
tained, under the auspices of the associa
tion. The town is named after Colonel
Maitland, who figured in the Florida war,
and is located on the old Tampa Bay and
Fort Mellon road, six miles from Orlando
and seven miles from the steamboat
landing on Lake Jesup.
BEV. DB. HAEBISON'S FABEWELL.
I have seldom witnessed a more tender
farewell service than that which was held
at the First Methodist Church of Atlanta
last night.
Long before the service commenced
every seat was occupied and all the vacant
space filled with chairs and benches, and
yet hundreds were compelled to stand
about the doors and windows, while other
hundreds, with sad hearts, went away un
accommodated in any manner.
The Rev. J. E. Evans, D. D., of Trinity
Methodist Church, assisted in the open
ing and closing services, and Rev. Dr.
Harrison preached from Paul’s Epistle to
the Ephesians, third chapter, fourteenth
to nineteenth verses, inclusive, aud de
livered a most able and appropriate dis
course. In closing he stated that he first
came to Atlanta twelve years ago, to Wes
ley Chapel, and had since spent over
eight years as a pastor in this city. Then
there were only two Methodist churches
and about four hundred members; now
there are seven churches and nearly three
thousand members. O.her denomina
tions had also enlarged their borders, yet
in all this time bis intercourse had been
harmonious and pleasant with the various
churches and pastors of the city. There
were but few, if any, dry eyes in the im
mense congregation as tbe preacher, with
tearful eyes and quivering voice, invoked
a farewell blessing upon his long beloved
people. He leaves to day for Washing
ton, D. C., there to remain permanently.
His ripe scholarship and rare pulpit elo
quence will make the Mount Vernon
Place Church better known throughout
the entire land, in connection with his
Chaplaincy of the House of Representa
tives. Chatham,

Washington, November 12.—There
has been some warm work during the
past week over the army appropriation
bill, and as predicted some time since, an
earnest effort is now being made to inject
into it the clause prohibiting the use of
the army in the States for political pur
poses. Although the amendment was de
feated on Saturday, it is probable that it
will come up again in a different shape
and may yet form a portion of the House
bill.
The Republican caucus held Saturday,
although covered by the pledge of secre
cy, has leaked some interesting facts.
Tne discussions in the caucus commenced
with the consideration of the application
of the tenure of office act, and Mr. Conk-
ling made a lengthy speech, in which he
arraigned the administration, charging
the President with the responsibility of
the loss of Pennsylvania and the general
demoralization of the Republican party
Senator CoDkling has evidently waited
for the course of events in New York
before he threw down the gape of open
warfare with the administration, and
now that the results of the election seem
to indicate a continuation of his power,
we shall soon see the antagonistic elements
in the Senate crystallized around him.
In all this the Senator from New York
found an unexpected ally in Edmunds, of
Vermont, who will join Mr. Conkling in
his war upon the President, and
in upholding the powers and privileges
of the Senate. During the debate Sena
tor Matthews came to the front as the
champion of the administration, and
pressed the opposition for a declaration
of their intentions. A red hot debate
then ensued over the nominations now iu
for confirmation, which resulted in bring
ing out the views of the Senators who
have been luke warm towards the admin
istration, who one and all united with
Mr. Conkling in the declaration that in
removing officers of unquestioned ability
and untarnished record, for no cause
whatever, the President had taken a
stand utterly at variance with his ex
pressed views upon civil service reform,
and that it was the duty of a Republican
Senate to reject the nominations of these
who were named as the successors of
such officers.
The discussion then turned upon the
power of the Democrats to leave the Sen
ate without a quorum, aud of their co
operation with such Republicans as sup
port the administration to confirm such
nominations as they saw fit. It is evi
dent that with the present division
existing in the ranks of the Republicans,
so long as Mr. Hayes can square bis ap
pointments and policies to meet the ap
proval of Democratic Senators, he can
sn8p his fingers at the threats of iVr.
Conkling and his adherents, and starve
out many of them, whose only hope for
re election lies in their ability to dispense
the patronage of the government in their
respective States. The course of the ad
ministration in regard to the Pennsylvania
delegation, in ignoring the recommenda
tion of ex-Senator Simon Cameron and
the subsequent nomination and unani •
mous confirmation of Mr. Welsh as
Minister to England, was a direct issue
between Mr. Hayes and his Cabinet, on
tbe one hand, and the Cameron influence
with its extended ramifications, backed
by the solid delegation from Penn
sylvania, on the other, and the result was
a complete victory for Mr. Hayes and
his advisers. After such a victory, it fol
lows that if the same wise course is fol
lowed in all cases of selecting men of un
questioned character and ability to fill
tne offices within its gift, the administra
tion can afford to despise the “empty
sound and fury” which emanate from
blighted hopes and disappointed ambi
tions.
Iu his forthcoming report the Post
master General considers the question of
the domicile delivery of mail matter as
now in vogue in France, where the
system has been found to be eminently
successful and tbe increased expense not
excessive. The Postmaster General says
that while his department is not yet
ready to make such an extended stride in
the increase of postal facilities as this,
that he urges the extension of the present
“free delivery” system to all cities having
a population of ten thousand and up
wards. The present limit of the carrier
system is to the cities of twenty thou
sand inhabitants. It is believed that
this measure will receive favorable
consideration, as there is scarcely a
Congressional district in the coun
try that has not at least one town
with a population of ten thousand, and
will thus practically illustrate the advan
tages of free delivery, and prepare the
minds of the people for a further exten
sion of tbe benefits of tbe system to tbe
turai districts.
The report will also recommend such
legislation as will authorize the increase
of tbe salaries of postmasters in the more
important cities of the country. In many
instances now where postmasters are paid
from $1,500 to $4,000, the amount of
business to b6 done, and the responsibility
involved, is largely in excess of tbe esti
mates upon which the present salaries
were based, and the Postmaster General
assumes that simple justice demands in
creased salaries. Should tbe proposed
extension of the free delivery system re
ceive favorable action, it gives this ad
vantage to one or two Georgia cities.

How Elections are Conducted in
France.
A correspondent of the London Iimes,
writing from Bordeaux, France, gives the
following description of how elections are
conducted in that country:
“Tbe process is perfectly simple and
neat. Electors walk into the Mairie as
men go on ’change, and at the gate the
friends of the candidate or his agents
offer a plain white paper, with the candi
date’s name. In the hall where the votes
are taken the Mayor and his bureau,
without any civil or military guard, sit
with the ballot box before them. Tbe
elector offers his numbered elector’s
ticket, the Mayor tears off a corner of it,
calls out the registered number (which is
then crossed off by his secretaries), takes
from the elector the white voting paper
folded, and drops it into the urn. In this
way long files in queue pass on in one
even stream, and the process goes on
with immense rapidity. The law forbids
the presiding officer to take a voting
paper open or in any way marked out
wardly; no armed force is permitted in
the voting hall; the ballot box has a
double key, and must be opened immedi
ately upon the close of the poll. E'cclors
have the right to be present without aDy
interruption from the moment the box is
first lccked up, after examination, until
the final counting out of all the voting
papers in it, and, in practice, the whole
process goes on under the eyes of the
public. The only possible falsification of
the process, even in very benighted dis
tricts, involves a plain breach of law
under the eyes of electors, and, since the
new Chamber will in any case have a Re
publican majority, which will be the sole
judge of all disputed elections, and every
elector has an absolute right of objection,
if the voting is anywhere improperly ma
noeuvred it can only be in places where
there is not a single Republican elector
who has the spirit to enter a protest.”
Honest John.—Senator Patterson re
tains his seat at Washington, but he can
not be said to represent South Carolina
there any longer. All of the petitions,
memorials, and other documents from
the S ate are sent to Senator Gordon,
and are presented by him. The great
man’s occupation is gone. Tue only de
sire for his aid or society manifested any
where, comes from the penitentiary of
South Carolina. That absolutely yearns
for him.—New York Tribune.
Georgia’s Representation on the House
Committees.
Georgia fared well at the hands of Mr.
Randall in the arrangement of his com
mittees. It was to be expected that the
Speaker would “come down handsomely”
to the State whose unflinching support
made his election a certainty. Georgia
was the centre of Mr. Randall's line, and
no demonstration of the allied forces of
Morrison, Cox, Savler and the rest made
any impression upon that solid rock.
When Congressman Blount announced,
two wetks before the meeting of the
Democratic caucus that Georgia was “solid
for Randall,” he not only showed that
he had thoroughly performed his work as
one of the managers of Mr. Randall’s
fight, but he proclaimed the certainty of
Mr. Randall’s election. As one ot Mr.
Randall’s counselors, Mr. Blount has
looked out well for the interests of his
State in the disposition of his colleagues.
Mr. Hartridge, who is one of the best
lawyers and most finished speakers
in the House, appropriately goes to
the Judiciary Committee, where
distinction awaits him. His position
in the House is already a high one—a
clear case of conquest of great modesty
by great merit. Brave and genial Gen
eral “Phil” Cook is at tbe head of the
Committee on Public Buildings. He has
as many friends as any man in Congress,
and as his constituents seem determined
to keep him here, we promise them an
increase every year of his large personal
influence with his fellow-members. Colo
nel Blount is second on the Committee
on Appropriations, where he has already
earned a fine reputation with his asso
ciates.— Washington Capital.
