The Savannah Xetrt speaking of the new Senate, says of the twcnly- fivo Senators whose terms expire on the 3d of March, seventeen arc Re publicans and eight nrc Democrat*.— Successors to seven of the retiring members have already been chosen ; have made a gain have held their own in Kentucky and Maryland, and have elected successors lo Sargent of Cali fornia, Mathews of Ohio, and Mitch ell, of Oregon. The Republicans have retained the other two Scnatorships. Of the eighteen remaining States which will choose Sonators, twelve m represented by Republicans by Democrats. The latter will hold five of these they now control and will lose Connecticut, where a Republican will succeed Sen ator Baraum. The Republicans will hold their own in eight States, and will lose the seats now filled by Spen cer of Alabama, Dorsey of Arkaii-H*. Cone+eiyof Florida, and Patterson of South Carolina. Thus the Democrats havplost one seat they now control Idd Imre gained seven, representing an aggregate gain of six seats. As every vote thns added to the Demo cratic strength is also a decrease of one in the Republican roll, the six Senatorships whose political complex - ons have been changed are equiva lent to a Democratic majority of 12. But there is a Republican majority of ireaegt Senate to overcome. fe, consequently, the ,ti(*bjfcjorHy will he ten, the vote standing Demjcrat* forty-three, Republican* thirty-three. The Biggest Story of Them All We have read big stories all of our life. We have listened around the ftecgt porners to some Whopping big tares’Afitio-l a- big and extensive in their scope as those of old Itaron Mun chausen, hut the following raps the cliquixof everything: ““ftjWlu&ingtoft telegram to the IJuimttiiSJazrUe says information has come from the Second (icorgia District to the effect that Collector Wade (Republican) was really elect- „ c(l| (q ,t,■flip-rc l,y fully 3,000 mnjori- 11 im***- |ty, but that he was deliberately count ed out. This was done after the polls was closed by deliberately throwing oqt enough Republican votes at the Various precincts to accomplish it, and give Wade’s opponent a majori ty.” Wade counted out! Come,oldscal- you were not so base anil un- ipled a* to tend such news to luarters, were you ? Oh, no, it is to believe that “brudder' Crumbly whisi*ercil it to a salaman der, and it crawled lo Washington with a message, than to believe yon had anything to do in transmitting it Northward. Waile was really elected to Con gress by 3,000 majority, hut that lie was deliberately counted out.” Yum yum, let’s sec how it was done. De catur was the only county in the Dis trict giving a Republican majority. majority, small a* it was, was Continued Tlioinnsvillc Fair Notes. Col. Clisby, of the Macon Tele- graph,, vtaa in attendance. Return ing home ho looked at the Fair through such a sound |>cr*pcetivc of common sense that wo copy hi* elo*- iug remark concerning the same: “What Georgia need* nioro than any thing else, i* a really appreciative people! Few- of her young men be lieve that the most certain road to material independence lie* through a Georgia farm managed with the calm judgment and energy which arc in dispensable to success in any other business. Hut whether they believe it or not, it is true. Not otic in n hun dred has a correct idea of what may lie done on a Georgia farm. Nearly all under vuluc the country; and this lack of appreciation so hurtful to pro gress ran host he eomliatted by such agricultural show* a* this we have spoken of." We take the three following notes from “Jack Plane." of the r Savannah Xews: Those who were dreaming of this being the last fair were not nwarc of the triumph of the day. The gather ed crowd had replenished the ex hausted exchequer, anil Hie associa tion was free. The hard worked of fice n, wearied with their labors, wore cheerful countenances, and were em phatic in declaring that this was not to lie the last fair. And 1 hope not, for of all Hie fairs this one has niniii- tniued its reputation as an agricultu ral fair above any other. The people arc tired now, but they will be rested by next fall. To show what a fen- ladies can do, there were on exhibition over fifteen hundred jars, bottles and goblets of jelly, pickles, preserve* and wine.— Out of this number two ladies pre pared witli tlieirown hands four hun dred and ninety—Mrs. T. J. Young, of Thomas county, and Mrs. Clayton Groover, of Brooks. A few such la dies would make an exhibition of their own productions that would as tonish the outside world. The delivery of the prizes to Hie finest looking babies was undertaken by Judge Wright, of Albany. It was a delicate task, but it was elegantly done. lie also announced the award's of the committee on the county dis plays. Brogk* county was victorious, bearing off, out of tlie $500 ottered. $450. Everybody seems to justify Hie oinmittee's decision, and none more o than the good people of Thomas. The intercourse of the two peoples during Hie entire week has been most ordial and hearty, each vicing with the other in their attentions, and ren dering the whole occasion one longto be remembered. Brooks, through Judge Wright, publicly acknowledg ed their indebtedness to the citizens of Thomas for their many kind acts :ind attentions. NOTICES or THE PRESS.

Wliat a Woman has Discovered. \ correspondent of the Albany News, writing from New Y'ork sev eral day* ago, tells of the following remarkable discoveries of Mis* Har riet Hostnor. an American lady now sojourning in Europe: “A change lias come over tlie spirit of the dreams of tlie women of New York. A more independent gait is noticeable among them, and an air bordering on disdain, as a member of opposite sex. accidently crosses the line of their vision. A new dig nity and self-respect sit enthroned on h countenance, all since last Satur- lay week, when the Evening Pott announced through it* London cor- poudent, the wonderful discovery ot Harriet 11 osmer, consigning Edison mil all tlie great male inventors, to a secondary rank, while she takes the head of tlie class, it having liceu left to a woman, one of the despised sex, to discover the greatest motor of mod ern times, sleeping iiiiguesscd in the magnet. Who shall seotl'at woman now, because she lias never made any great discoveries in science? Miss Hosmcr’s discovery of how to change lime-stone into marble by a process akin to boiling, that is,by the application ot damp heat ami great pressure, although not so valuable as tlie first named is a very remarkable one. By this process she is also able to color marble all conceivable shades, producing a manufactured article at much less cost than the rcul, or rather than produced by Nature; for this is equally real produced by a process, similar to that employed by Nature herself. We shall lie able to live in beautifully decorated marble palaces, in lime, mid need not ilesplair of tlie final accomplishment of the transmu tation of the baser metals into gold. Progress i* iiiakiiigastuuisliiugly rap. id strides uow-a-days, and what fu ture developments may we not ex pect now Hint “there is a woman in the ease.” LETTER FROM WORTH. Everything Quiet Over the Way—The Re moval Question, Etc. I have not written you in some time, and only do so now because I know you like Worth county so well anything will be acceptable and in teresting from it. Tilings arc quiet all over the county, and the people are working along as usual in their fall and winter duties. In the late election many of the col ored people voted for Smith, but some did it on a “sick stomach.” Bruilder Crumbly tvouldn’t come to see them and talk to Uiein shout Wade, etc.— Anyway, I believe that numbers of the negroes over here arc getting tlicir eves open, and they are going to help swell the list of good and law-abid ing citizens. They are tired of being bamboozled, for the “iteggsra did th« ni£g?ra fool Forty acres and a wiile." The Courthouse removal question is still exercising some coiirncnt. Mr. John J. Ford, who owns the Peniey lot of land, two and a hall’ miles from Isabella, on the Railroad, says he will let the committee appointed for llii- couuty select ten acres of said lot, 011 cither side of the II. & A., and donalc hc same to the county. It will soon lie time for the season’s ;aycty to commence, amt 1 will let your young readers of Worth see some little account* in tlie paper of their phun, pharts, pliancies and plian- tastio doings. Cane grindings all going on every where, and plenty of syrup, the best mid sweetest, is being made. I will be much oblige for news items, happenstances, etc., furnished me. More anon. S. T. Attunin'. A Brilliant Wedding. Notes from AII Over tlie Country IMI.1TH AI. AM> OTIIRIIWISE. A Washington paper speaks of a small increase in Mr. Stephen*’ weight a- “another Democratic gain." The gnvcrnni-ship of South Caro lina devolves upon Lieutenant •Gov ernor W. D. Simpson, until Waile Hampton so far recover* from his in juries as to enable him lo discharge it* duties. The investigation into the “stenl- nge of government timber,” proposed to lie iiudcrluUcti liy the Southern Lumbermen's Association, will lie thorough in all its nullifications, and will disclose a fraud that has long been practiced. Here is a crumb of comfort from the Baltimore Gazette: “Democrats naturally inclined to lie boister ous and undisciplined when they have an overwhelming majority. When they have a small margin they keep close together, and arenolsoapt to be picked oil’ by the enemy’s sharp shooters.” The Boston Herald rulis the De mocracy over the knuckles thus:— “There never were better advantages mure foolishly thrown away. The KepuMicaii party richly deserved de- I'cal, and lias ever since 1875, but it lias been kept in power by Democrat ic lilunilcrs, and these promise to con tinue until new issues urisc to divide the voters into new parties. A dispatch from Washington says that Mr. Hayes is reported as saving recently that, in many respects in its judgement of the South, tlie majority of lii* own party was right, anil he himself was wrong. This may lie. remarks the Baltimore Ga zette, hut. the opinion of two-thirds of the people of this country touching Mr. Haves has not been changed in the least, lie was regarded as a fraud when lie went into office, and he has recently established his repu tation as sueli beyond the realm of controversy. Mr. Haves lakes tlie rake, so to s|H*ak. The Presidential campaign is ap proaching 011 apace, and tlie “waves” of the bloody shirt are increasing in number. That base slanderer, Th. Nast, on Harper’s publications, Inis knuckled down lo his dirty work in earnest. His last declaration, set in a pictorial background, is a sample: “Bull Dozing and Shot Guns keep the South Solid.” Now, Tommie, come down ami drink some ginger- cuinpooppop with us, attend a “Re publican” caucus out in the Oaky Woods, talk to some of your friends of the gin house way of illuminating their paths of life, and sec if it won’t do for your stomach what an egg does for a pot of coffee—settle it some what.

AVe want a religion Hint softens the step, tunes Hie voice to melody, tills tlie eye with sunshine, and checks the impatient exclamation and harsh re buke A religion that is polite, def erential to superiors, courteous to in feriors and considerate to friends; a religion that goes into tlie family, keeps Hie husband from being cross when dinner is late, and the wife from fretting when the husband tracks tlie newly washed floor witli bis muddy boots, and mukc* him mindful of Hie scraper and the doormat; keeps the mother patient when the haliy is cross and amuses the children a* well as in structs them, cares for the servants besides paying them promptly, pro jects the honey moon into the harvest moon, and makes tlie happy home like the Eastern fig tree, bearing in its beauty at once the beauty of the tender blossom and tlie glory of the ripened fruit. AVe want a religion that shall interpose between the ruts and the gullies and rocks of the high- way > of life and the sensitive souls that arc traveling over them. In short, a religion that will sliuiulate people to pay their just debts bet ween man and man, and less preaeblng about one thing ami then iiraetieing anoth er. jl’bis is the kind of religion Hint honest, well-meaning people want, and not so much of the hypocrite.— Ex. AVe take the following from the Columbus Timet: , “Quite a large and fasliionnlqe audi ence, composed of the elite of our city, filled the Episcopal Church Iasi night 011 the occasion of. Hills far, the most brilliant wedding of the season. The happy contracting parties were Mr. Robert Oher, of llaltimore, ami Miss Rosa AVoolfolk, the accomplish ed daughter of the highly respected Col. AV. G. AVoolfolk, of AVynton. Tim line looking young couple were attended by Hie following Indies and geiillcmcu in the order limned: Miss Oliur, of Baltimore, anil M AV111. AVoolfolk. Miss Lula Redd and Mr. Artliur AVoolfolk.

F. Y. EVANS, Clk. and Trcas., A. C. C. Forty In a Duel. The famous duel in which forty or more gentlemen were engaged in 1832, is still remembered in Natchez. Col. James Bowie, the famous fighter and inventor of the knife which bears his name, used to spend a great deal of his time in that city. He was challenged by a gentlemen from A1 exaudria, La., whose friends to the number of forty or more ‘ accomya- nietl him to Natchez, to see fair play, knowing that' Bowie was a desperate man and had his friends about him.— All parties went upon the field. The combatants took their places in the center, separated from their friends in tlie rear, or enough not to endan ger them with their balls.

The plan of light was to exchange shots, twice with pistols, and to close with knives, Bowie being armed with his own terrible weapon. At the first fire both parties escaped. At the second the Louisianian was too quick, and took advantage of Bowie who wait ed the word. At this Bowie’s second cried “foul play”, and shot the Louis ianian dead.

The sttrgeonanow cross ed blades, while with loud cries came 011 tlie parties’ friends, the light of battle in their eyes. In a moment the whole number was engaged in a fear less conflict. Dirks, pistolBand knives were used with fatal effect until one party drove the other from the field. 1 do'not know how many were killed and tvounded in all, but it was a dreadful slaughter.
