At a large and enthusiastic mass meeting, held at Ilomenrillc on Saturday, delegates were elected to the First Congressional Dis trict Convention which assembles in Savan nah on the 28lh Instant. They favor the nomination of Nlcholls. The Ware County Democratic Convention met on Saturday at Waycroaa, and elected Nlcholls delegates to the District Conven tion. A tine horse in Atlanta, known as Dandy, killed himself on Wednesday last by run ning against building In Oglethorpe Park and breaking his neck. Stephens delegates to the Thomson Con vention have been selected In eleven coun ties of his district, and more will probably follow suit. The greenback movement !s progressing In Atlanta. Mr. John K. Kendrick, late one of the most promising young lawyers of Atlantu, has determined to make Galveston, Texas, his future home. A correspondent writes us that a negro was killed on the plaiftatlon of Mr. Clegg, of Gum creek. Dooley county, by Mr. Fauu, overseer for Mr. Clegg, on the 29th ult. On Suuday, the 28th, they had some difficulty. The next day It was renewed, and the negro called Faun a d—d liar, when Faun shot him. The negro died a few days after wards. Atlanta's llrst sunstroke this season o< rurred on Thursday. The victim was a M Joseph Hanks, a bricklayer. Fortunately he has almost cutlrrly recovered. The Sixth District Congressional Conven tion will be held iu Mllledgevllle Septem ber 4th. The Augusta Pharmaceutical Association Is decidedly In fsvor of encouraging home enterprise. At Its last meeting s paper was read urging upon ils members the duly of manufacturing, as far as possible, the chemi cals and other preparation\ dispensed from their stores, and of purchasing, when neces sary , articles of this kind made at home. Efforts are being made to Introduce the copper cent coin In Augusta. Healthful In dication of a desire to return to habits of wise economy. A cute Yankee drummer offered to burn out afl the dies in a saloon in Augusta. He succeeded. The proprietor proposes to re- j build ove r the ashes of his former place. How much insurance there was on the build- lugs and fixtures Is not stated. Messrs. Sibley Whcless, of Augusta, re ceived a telegram Saturday from Mr. 8. A. Gray, a leading merchant of Waynesboro, lit., advising them of the shipment of a bale of new cotton, which was expected to arrive Saturday afternoon. This is the llrst new bale received In that city this season, and the-earliest for many years, hiring two weeks earlier than last year. During the severe storm at Columbus on Friday Mr. William Kyles, foreman of the Southwestern Railroad shop, met a sud den and Violent death. From the Enquirer we leant that he had gone out of the ma chine shop Just as the storm burst, and see- J. II. ESTILL, PROPRIETOR. SAVANNAH, MONDAY, AUGUST 5, 1878. ESTABLISHED 1850. Atlanta L\m*tilution: “An accident oc curred at the hardware house of Messrs. T.M. Clarke « Co. Thursday afternoon about live o'clock, which came very near tennina ting the life of little Clark Kirkpatrick, the six year-old son of .Mr. John Kirkpatrick, the accountant of the firm. The little fel low was playing In the second story of the building, and accidentally stepped Into the opening w here the elevator works. He fell to the floor, striking one of his knees upon the cross-piece of the elevator. When picked up it was discovered that he had a large swollen lump on bis forehead, and one of his knees was badly *broken from the blow which it received. A physician was called in and the extent of the injuries found to beQonly those related already.” Augusta Chronicle of Saturday: “By ac tual count yesterday there were only 820 bales of c otton in all the warehouses in Au gusta. Of Ibis number fiu5 hales were held by two housc-s. We saw samples of 443 bales spread out on the floor of one of these w are houses, offered for saie In one lot. The other bouses sold 132 bales in one lot to the Augusta fac tory. Besides this amount the sales during the day were 80 bales. Only 8 bales were received. .This leaves the stock on hand to-day 640 bales. The stock last year at thl* time was tfJb bales." Columbus Enquirer-Sun (3d): “About two o'clock last afternoon we experienced one of the hardest wind and rain storms that we have had this season. For about three quar ters of an hour it blew a perfect hurrieauc, tearing limbs from the tree's, blowing down fences, and in many places felling trees, demolishing fences In their fall. The se verity of the gale can better be described by a sight we saw during it, which was a cov ered express wagon drawn by a mule, the oil cloth being down behind. The poor animal was comitelled to use all force to get along, the wind blowing in liis face, and making a veil of the rear oil cloth, and right manfully he tugged, and at sudden lulls be would rush forward with c-onsiderabb speed, only to be suddenly checked again. An old wooden, unoccupied structure, of one story, in the 8lxth ward, was completely demolished. The gas lamp at Judge M. J. Crawford's corner was struck by lightning, breaking every glass. On the other stile of the river, trees, fences, etc., were treated as badly as ours : and, beyoud Brow neville, a house was struck by lightning, but none of the inmates wen injured. This is the house of Mr. Job: Searcy, night watchman at the Eagle and Pheuix Factory. The west end of the house was struck, tearing down the chimney ami making a breach In the boarding from the roof to foundation, about two feet wide. This did not scent to satisfy this forked tongued monster, for a couple of jHMrfs on the porch were knocked out. His watch dog was killed at the first stroke. Himself and faintly, who were in an adjoining room to where it struck, were uninjured. This is a severe loss on Mr. 8., a« his home had only been recently built. The damage to the fruit and other crops is, doubtless, very great. In the course oflftwo hours, after causing one death, ami generally demolish ing houses, fences, etc., It subsided.” Valdosta Time*: “It is safe to say that Lowndes county will harvest the best crop sin- has bad for years. She will make corn to sell ar.d other grain crops in abundance. The cotton crop, unless some severe storm docs great damage, will t* better than ever before. Valdosta shipped nearly one thou sand bales more last season than ever be fore, and the indications of the present crop point to a still larger shipment for the com ing season. The present crop has been made ut a leas expense than last year’s, ami possible decline iu price cannot counter balance this saving and the excess iu quan tity made. Thus it will be seen that the business prospect for our town is very I.right. Our business men need but to avail Ives of advantages within tbeir grasp.” Brunswick Seaport Appeal“We need a good hotel of one hundred rooms, elegantly furnished, kept by a master of the art; in connection therewith, a first-class livery stable and a steam yacht, and such a hotel, livery and yacht would pay a handsome In terest on the investment.” In addition to a good hotel, the Appeal thinks Brunswick needs a wholesale grocery store. Darien Timber Uozrtte: “We are glad state that, through the efforts of our able and efficient Representative, the lion. Julian Hartridge, a dally ma'l between Darien and Dohoy will Ik; established next winter. The Postmaster General has promised Mr. Hart ridge that this mail route shall be establish ed this fall. This will be a great conve- rlcnee to both places, and will save a great deal of expense ami trouble. Darien ami McIntosh county should feel grateful to Mr. Hartridge for fits efforts in behalf of our port. We are under obligations to him for securing au appropriation of eight thousand dollars from the last Congress for the iHi nt of our harbor, and our people BY TELEGRAPH.

While in the t of closing this he met with the fatal accident. He bad succeeded Iu closing It about half way, when a sudden gush of wind hurled It back against him with great forre, throwing him to the ground and striking his head against an iron rail. Crowds rushed out, and he was borne into t he office, where a resting place was arranged for him. From the hack of his head blood was flowing in great quantities. Dr. George • trinies was sumfhoned immediately, and arriving pronounced the skull fractured at the base of the brain, and there was hopes of his recovering. In the scalp the rear was au ugly gash fully seven inches In length, which was cut by the rail, lingered In ar unconscious state until 4:10 In the afternoon, wheu death relieved his suffering.

The whole programni" will be under the charge of Colonel Thomas Hardeman, Jr., assisted by Mr. Malcolm Johnston. A grand prize drill will come off iu At lanta on the 13th Inst. All the companies in the 8tale are invited to participate. A friend writing us from there on the subject says: “The prizes are handsome, and per haps the Savannah companies may have so me members in the up eouatry who can get their uniforms, and we can furnish them guns and equipments here.” Augusta .Vnw (Saturday): “Yesterday morning a colored barber, named I-out* Heard, who has a shop next door to Mr. J.

D. Carlton’s place. While here his wife left him some six months ago, and came to the Fork. The husband has lately been living near Madison, but he made frequent vis its to his wife, and endeavored to persuade her to go back with him. He was on one of these visits Friday oven- iiig. wheu his wife wished to attend ii party. He told her that if she cared anything for him she would not go. She persisted. Then saving something about killing him self, ami requesting u bystander to tell his friends ‘howdy* for him, a* he did not ex pect to see them any more, he walked Into his wife's room, seized a pistol, walked to the door, and delit>eratelv shot himself through the heart, dying iustantly.” Macon TrhynijJi: “From one of the stir ring farmers of Jones county, we learn that on Friday one ot the severest winds that has visited that county in some time was expe rienced. Fences were blown down, and trees, in some instances, uprooted auu dismem bered. The growing corn crop was, in some localities, considerably damaged, being pros trated. The wind was accompanied with some rain, which is thwfirst this section has had in Use weeks.” Griffin .Vow: “We are glad to learn that the little son of Mr. James Dingier, upon horn the doctors performed the painful operation of hirynyutiiiny (an account of which has already been given iu this column) several days ago, is out of danger. The little fellow was quite low Thursday, hut under the skillful treatment he has received Is rapidly getting well.” Alluding to the late mall robbery on the Macon and Brunswick Railroad, the Macon Tdeynqdi of Sunday says: “Yesterday an ar rest was made in the Macon and Brunswick Railroad mall robbery case, an account of hich has already been published. The •an arrested is a negro by the name of Isiul* Wilson. The arrest’ was made by- Major George B. Chamberlin, who, ever miicu the robbery was committed, has been busy ferreting out the perpetrator with great euergy and skill. The colored man now In custody was at one time what is known a» a new butcher on the Hawkins- vllle branch of the road, and was dto- charged, we are informed, some time since for stealing from the road. On the night of the robbery he was known to bp In Jusup, and to be very short of fuuds. Since the robbery he has been quite free with his money. The case is quite a difficult one, but the authorities feel certain they have taken the right person this time. The car in which the robbery was committed was divided into two com part ijcpts. the mail room in one end and the other portion a. .a ordinary cars. The front end of the car was left open; but the negro came in the back way, opening the car door with a key stolen from the road when in its employ. The partition door was forced. The drawers were then rifled and eight registered letters removed. The envelopes have all been re covered and will be used as evidence against the prisoner.” TUB CIVIC HONORS TO BEZCONsriELD AND SALIsHCKT.

The weather is bright INVB8TH1AT1NO THE LABOR QUESTION. j New York, August 3.—The Congres sional Committee on the Labor Question eon tinued its session to-day. The working men’s represeritutive was again on the stand, who laid the blame for the depression l i business to national and State legislation granting lauds to railroads and other corpo rations, and granting large iutvrest on the bonds. They advanced the idea that the government should pass the homestead law and throw the public lauds open to settle ment, and assist the men to settle there. tV. A. A. Carsey, who said be was a bricklayer and an editor, declared that i.i liis opinion the public school system was bad. The government, he claimed, should establish schools where mechanical trades and arts would be taught. He denounce I the contract system under the Nations), State aud city governments. As a conse quence, work was of the worst possible construction aud gave an opportunity to -n to grind down tlie laboring class an l iploy- Chinese and others against whom American laborers could not compete, because the latter cannot live as the former do. Carsey appealed to the committee to impress on Congress the necessity of some legislation this uiuter which will briug relief to the working classes. Know ing the temper and needs of the working men, he felt certain that if Congress did not step In at an early- day with ameliora ting legislation, this w inter could not pass without trouble—without a repetltiou’of the labor riots of last summer. A good move ment Would be the institution of a compre hensive system of internal improvements aud inflation of the currency to carry on these improvements. THE COMMISSION For THE REORGANIZATION or THE ARMY. WASHINGTON, August 3.—There seeming to be some misunderstanding regarding the circumstances attending the meeting aud adjournment of the Commission for the Re organization of the Army, of which General Burnside was Chafrinau, recently In session at the White Sulphur Springs, in Virginia, the statement Is authorized that there was no lack of a quorum on account of voluntary- absenteeism ou the part of members, as b.is been reported. Six of eight members of the commission were present during the entire consideration of the subject, and remained until the main features of an army bill was agreed urn in. Although each separate feature of the bill was not adopted unani mously by the commission, the bill, when completed, was unanimously adopted as a whole. It is stated, moreover, on compe tent authority, that no antagonism to Un arm)" was displayed during the session of the commission, but, on the contrary, all its member* were obviously actuated by a de sire to improve the service. The proceed ings are said to have been of the pleasanter t possible character, aud marked by the utmost courtesy on the part of members to wards each other.

In the midst of its wide spread de moralization. however, a strange and violent attempt has recently been made to revive the waning fortuues of the Re publican party bv a sectional attack on the investigation now being made into the alleged frauds by which the present a*,ministration was placed in power.- Wheu this investigation was ordered by a Democratic House of Representatives, a sort of hysterical scream burst out from the entire Republican press. To dispassionate ears, however, it sounded more like the cry of consci§ps guilt and fear of detection than of patriotic ap prehension for the country. A new word was coined, prophetic of evil to our government. We were informed with oracular emphasis that our gov ernment was to be “Mexicunized " Mexican Led! Do those who have hurled this word into our political vocabulary- have any conception of its real uteaniu ' and conception?

Which policy would soonest and most certainly Mexicanize the American, government? What party is on the plainest road to that had end ? Is serted that this investigation may result in disturbing the title of the present oc cupant of the White House. My answer is plain and simple: By the forms of law he was inaugurated. ’ He has a legal right without the equitable right. He will remain where he is to the end of the Constitutional term, unless he should be removed by virtue of that provision of the Constitution which has applied to every President from the foundation of the government. He is liable to im peachment and to no other process for removal If I am reminded that the President can only be impeached for acts while in office, my answer is. that is true, with this qualification: If it should lie proven in the investigation, or any other, in reference to Mr. Hayes or any future President, that he was an accomplice in the commission of unlawful acts by which he procured his place, he would undoubtedly be liable to impeachment Car such acts. In the present instance, I do not apprehend such result, whatever the real facts may be. The great wrong will be redressed at the ballot-box. The investigation will emphasize the crime which has been committed against the American people. It will gc into history as a warning to future times, and the fate of those who committed it will make it l.'ss likely to ever occur again. PERIL InTuED TEA.

Sometimes he would be invited to examine a class in geometry | iujou Ilf would be asked to accompany the astronomy clip's fur the purpose of explaining the courses of the stars to the high school class; and on one occasion he was dreadfully bored, pro bably because he remarked: "There, there’s that Prof. , of Milwaukee, wants me to come to that city and de liver my lecture on electricity.’’ And he went to Milwaukee, delivered the lecture Em] returned, having been gone not quite twenty-four bouts. Tt.c ex i raordihary rapidity with which he accomplished the trip was the last straw, and caused con siderable commotion, insomuch as there was a prospect that the Professor would win the aiToctiqas ut one of the young lady members of the household.

It was that of a child of Mr. Lclong, recently arrived from New Or leans. Another child is sick and not ex acted to live. The death happened at the residence of Mr. James Young, grandfather of the children. These children had the fever qn them, it is sup posed, when they left New < Means.

Henry Jackson, aged seventeen, took a younger boy out into deep water at Leavenworth. Kan., and deliberately drowned him.

There are many future States in that territory as large as Indiana. The influence of '.ho ad ministration of her Issor ties far into the future, jytd become a matter of the highest importance. This solemn duty was intrusted to Mr. McLic. Who will say that the President made so im portant an i^ppcJutment in ignorance of thc character of the man he appointed '{ The Senate, however, being properly advised, rejected the Domination. McLin waited for something else, but waited in vain. Doubtless it was thought the debt due to him was paid. At any rate, T7neth er from motives of revenge, or’ moved perhaps by ?. quickened conscience, he has told the storv hQ*v by his own instru mentality, and that of others, a clear and distinct majority for TUden and Hen dricks in Florida was by perjury and for gery wiped out, and (he electoral vote of that State given to Hayes and Wheeler.

Mr. Hayes him self personally recommended him to the Secretary of the Treasury as a first-class person for a position in the Revenue De partment. He, too, however, guided by that law, vague and undefined though it may be, which sooner or later reveals wrong-doing, added his statement to that of McLin's. Anderson, in whose behalf Senators, Secretaries, Collectors of Cus toms and the President himself were solely anxious for more than a year, laid open the conspiracy by which a Democratic majority of between five and ton thousand in Louisiana was ob literated, and a majority of between three and four thousand placed to the credit of Hayes and Wheeler. This state of affairs in Louisiana aud Florida was made known, and an investigation or dered by the House of Representatives. Ia there a man in Indiana who says the House could have done lees?

Science has kindly warned us of the death that lurks in the coffee cup. The cup that blesses the breakfast table impairs the digestion. I .urge doses of it produce palpitation of the heart. It is adultera ted with Venetian red and native sesqui- oxide of iron. Science has also warned us against the use of warm tea, bread and butler, meat, vegetables, fruit, grain, roots, berries, milk, and similar artick>s as food. Singularly enough, science Inis not yet assailed iced tea. But it will not do to permit people to enjoy this cool, delightful beverage, simply because its taste is grateful to the wearied system during this scorching weather. We must do our duty, though science may shrink from it, and the peo ple may cry out against us. There is danger in iced tea, and if you would live long aud well shun the cooling cup. tc a few iu stances from a long ire fully mi de experiments. Oth of June, John C. Hemp- Vest Hill, :»egau to drink iced tea at dinner and supper. He kept up this practice for noany three weeks, and then one day, going down the Division street steps, slipped and fell, abrading the skin on both legs, and running a sliver into the ball of his thumb so far that it made his teeth ache when he pulled it out. His clothing was also con siderably torn. When he went home that evening he learned that his eldest boy hail been whipped at school for stick ing u pin ils far through another boy as the head would let it go. He was warned to quit drinking iced tea, but he persisted in thc practice, aud he is now sleeping in the valley between West and North Hill, where he lives, and says he never felt so ill in his life. But may be he lies about it Henry (jsterfeldt, of Eighth street, drank teed tea regularly every summer i for three years, lie noticed that after drinking it for about two mouths liis boots began to run over at the heel, lie persisted, and one Sunday afternoon while he was out driving hU horse ran away and smashed seventeen dollars out of a borrowed buggy. He paid thc money, but neglected the warning. He went on drinking iced tea, and tu less than six weeks somebody poisoned his dog. A young woman who did plain sowing in this city, while employed in the family of Ralph Henderson, of Maple street, became addicted to the use of iced tea. She soon ran i\ towing machine needle throqgU her thumb, and for many days, whenever she picked up a cup of iced tea. a sharp pain ran through that thumb. She refused to obey the •warning, how ever, and iq s;x weeks she was carried away, '('he man who carried her away married her first. Last week, at the beginning of the heated terra, two eminent scientific gen tlemen of Burlington took a strong, healthy, black and tan dog and im mersed him in a tub of pure cistern wa ter, into whii-h a weak solution of iced tea had been poured. They held the dogs head under the water fifteen min utes, although he struggled violently, thus showing the natural and instinctive aversion to a substance which intelligent human beings blindly and eagerlv drink, and when the gentlemen took him out of the tub he was dcivl (f a teacupful of weak iced tea iu a tubful of water will kill a dog, think for yourselves what must be the effect of a strong, undiluted cup of this decoction upon thc system of a weak woman.

A correspond ent of the London Advertiser, in Thames- ville, Ont., who evidently is a druggist, improves on the story about the mercury trying to climb out of the thermometer, lie says: “On hearing the sharp report of an exploded cork, (examined a bottle of liquor ammonia at once, supposing that to be the oause.
