Hence onr long silence. The weather lias been very unfa vorable for some weeks for the gath ering of crops, being dourly anti damp, with frequent showers,accom panied with some wind; and as Fanny Fern says in one of her spicy- anti inimitable sketches: "The cat’s tail pointed north yesterday morning, and I knew it was the fore-end run* tier of something." So yesterday was a gloomy, unpleasant day, ami as night came on rude “lloras” com menced his wild pranks, ami by- dark it was blowing a regular “down caster.” and the rain was pouring down in torrents. It secured ns if “Jupiter Pluvius" had raised all his floodgates above, and was trying to drown out we poor mortals here be low ; everything is soaked, and a- Josh would say: “It is decidedly a wet rain and has done some dam age to open cotton in the Held. As this is the day of investigating committees we move that the pres ent Legislature send up a suitable one to investigate the doings of that old fraud, the clerk of the weather, as his movements arc exceedingly ec centric and mysterious, and are cal culated to produce doubt and mis trust in the public mind. It has conic to such a pass that it is next to im possible to prognosticate the state ol weather for even one day a head : and barometers and thermometers and alt such are at a discount and arc of no use whatever. What say yon to the move? Don’t yon think it is as important as some other things them fellows “up the road” are botheiing their brains over ? Crops in this section arc poor, poor er. poorest. What with an unseason able spring, late frost, and washing rains in the early part of the year; drouth and caterpillars in the sum mer. with unfavorable seasons for gathering the different crops, the prospect is anything but cheering. However, the farmers, as a class, is not easily cast down, and w« arc still looking for brighter days ahead. So may it be.

AA'e are glad to chronicle the fact that onr little Sabbath school at “Ilardup" is still in a flourishing con dition. and moving right ahead with its good work. The school and Beth el Church will be represented in the Association at Camilla next week, by (’apt. Sam IMvis, our young friend William Cox and Mr. Geo.

Hope lie will not allow liimsell to be ensnared by any of the fair damsels of our sister otinly, for lie must remember, that there is a pair of bright eyes on this side of the river that will watch for hi- coining, and grow brighter when lie is come. the “little church around tin corner” has a real nice organ.

OATIIKRICIt PRntMTHKNRtrai'ArKIts The lion. George F. Iloar remarks, prophetically: “God will take care of tlie negro." That is w hat I'nrsiiii General llnward said when the Freedman's Bank broke and scattered the colored mail's money.—New Or leans Picayune. It is now suggested that Col. Camp bell Wallace of Atlanta, be made Governor. This suggestion is en dorsed by Ihe News. Col. Wallace is fully inpablc in every respect to till the position, and as to iioncstv, there is no end to it in liis composition — Augusta Evening News. Another Georgia official was put on trial yesterday for receiving in terest on public money in his posses- siou. Ilis impeachment is considered certain, lfacrusadu similar to Ihe one now in progress at Atlanta were inaugurated at the North, half the offices would lie vacated.—Chicago .Times. II. W. G. says in the Atlanta Ga zette: “Antiii all this talk of officers who have grown rich in office. I trust the people will remember that Gov. Cohpiitt went into office poor, .-mil is poorer to-day than when lie went in. lie trudges to anil from his office through all sorts of weather, wears common clothes, and has old-fashion ed negroes about the mansion.” Columbus Enquirer: “Another good thing has been established l>y this Legislature. It i. that though a ■nan may have been a good and brave Confederate and is a Democrat, these constitute no excuses for criminality in one who holds a public trust.— When he violates Ids sworn duty anil •lets illegally he must suller the pen alty as well as another. A man who jumps in a stream to-day and saves a life should he awarded honor; if to morrow lie commits murder, lie ought to bang.” The Columbus Enquirer should go slow about Joe Brown. That paper vests the strength of its attacks, on Meade the principal witness, being dead. But how about Gen Phillips. I)r. Lawton, amt Col. Carey Styles? fin*sc gentlemen are living witnesses, nil Georgians, or Southern men, at vast. Let’s put them squarely on the stand, ns against Meade dead.— Whatever may lie said against the ex- Govcroor, no one living, or ••dead," ver caught him in a lie. If Georgia had more men of the mental calibre lid moral stamp of Joe Brow'll, there would lie more wholesome atmos phere pervading the official circles. To “ring" would live a minute in his olitical workshop. The means and occasions for a rc- ssertion of republican principles must he looked for in the South it- elf; and although (he eloutl is as yet no liigger than a man’s hand, there appears to be a storm even now gatli- ring on lilt* political horizon that may yet so rend Ihe domiuent party that out of that division republicans may conic by (licit* own. llccenl trustworthy advices received at Washington from South Carolina anil Texas report serious dissensions among the democrats of both state.- tlint may prove a powerful force for party disintegration. In Texas then- very prospect that two indepen dents, pledged not to act with the democrats, will be elected to the next •ingress; and ill South Carolina there seems to lie no doubt that the republicans will cllcct a perfect re organization during the coming year, and stand ready to profit by any di visions of tlie opposition. A similar movement inay be expected ill other tales, unless the renewal of tlie as- assination policy shall have its usual cllcct. Republican leaders should study the situation well; the south is lint solid for the democrats where fair piay can he had, atitl republican- waits tlie opportunity to re assert itself successfully. James It. Taylor died in 1870 with $8,000,009. To" Ida grandchild lie be* queathed an annuity of ♦•7 000. The remainder of the property was willed to his wife. The grandchild went to law about it. licsult: Not one dollar of that estate remains. lawyers and receivers got it all, Tlie moral of thi- is capitally summed tip liy the Chica go Tribune thus: The man, woman or child who has money or property left by will should take it, whether much or little, and be satisfied. Heirs who arc cut off without a shilling should not contest the will with any hope of getting any money out of the contest, no matter what the merits ol their rn-e may he, unless they compel the successful legatees to make a .set tlement with them. Estates rarely, it ever, yield under the most favorable circumstances the amount at which thev are popularly estimated, but they dwindle away entirely during the neglect of years and under Ihe re lentless attacks of the lawyers on both sides. Claims are trumped up that would never he dreamt of if the prop erty passed directly over into titidis pitted possession, and after the guar dians, executors, trustees, receivers, and counsel are through with tin- squabble, and they mutually agree that there is nothing more to fight tor. that is an end of the litigation and estate. The Indians in Colorado are again ,ying the pale faces, and the pah blue coats arc on the war p ith. General Sherman wauls more troop-. In his apt-cell at Indianapolis, on Sat- urlay last, he referred to the slaugh ter at Milk river, and said we iniisl punish these Indians and avenge the dead. It will be done, notwithstand ing Congress lias given its so few men, because of hard times which are now past, lie spoke of the Kinalliic-- of the army and urged Ids listener, to uso tlieir influence with tlu-ir Con gressmen to have the army strength e tied. The Darien Gazette says: “Next li Governor Colquitt we believe that the Hon. Unfits E. Lester stand- lie best eliaiicH of being the next Gov ernor of Georgia. Col. I.esler is inn of the purest men in tin- South, and we are satisfied that lie would lual- ono ol the best Governors Georgia ever had. Unfits F.. Lester is as “true as steel,” and is as “honest at they make them.” {Sundry It cuts.

The negroes of Chattanooga, who bad confessed to the murder of Hick Woods, storekeeper on Ihe line of the ('iucinuati Southern Uailroad, were seized last week and hanged from the bridge at While's creek. The Louisiana Slate Democratic Convention has completed the Stale ticket. The platform favors the new constitution, declares for a free bal lot. ilenoiitires the theft of the I’resi- deiu-y nnd Viee I’resltleney nsn cri-ue against the freedom of the people, calls for the admission of Spofford to the Senate, and eulogizes Govern or Nieliolls for liis services to tlie State nnd the Democratic Conserva tive parly. The report of the Charleston Col ton Exchange for September shows that the estimates of seed cotton yield ed per in-re vary from three hundred to eight hundred pounds per ai-re, •lie average being four hundred anil fifty pounds. Ascuiuparcd with Inst year, the average yield is estimated at about twenty percent less, though this deficiency may he considered, to Hiine extent, as cotinler-bnlanced by Ihe increase of acreage.

The command were ill a ilesporate -trait prior to the arrival ofCaptaiu Dodge’s Company D. Ninth Cavalry, being untilely sur rounded by the Indians, who poured in upon them an eliectivc fire trout conininiiding positions, live hundred yards distant. Captain Dodge’s com mand arrived on the 2d, and on tlie following Monday, General Merritt’s command eatne to the rescue after defeating the Indians in a bloody fight a short distance from the camp. Merritt, by a stratagem, drew the Indians out on the open plain, then, suddenly wheeling, made a fierce and successful attack, which, after a fight of two hours, caused the Indians to sue for a talk. The result of the talk was, that if Ihe United Slates troops invaded the reservation the Indians would tight them until the last of the Utes lay dead. This result was the nnaiiitpoiis determination of all the Chiefs. It was in tlie reign of Alexis Mik- hailovitcli, lather of Peter the Great, about the middle of the seventeenth century, that Siberia received its first caravan of criminals, and there lias been a regular annual succession of them since. The yearly contin gent increased largely under the late Emperor Nicholas, and from about S.utlll in tlie middle of liis reign tlie total number of transported persons lias risen lo 18.000 or 19,000 Under Al exander II, or (comprising other countries than Siberia) 2O.OO0.

Yes, I have opinions and hopes, and fears like other citizens, 'flic great issues upon which we carried (lie cl M-tiou of 187(1 are with its as iiiocli as ever, hut Ihe accidents are against us. Tin* coali tion between Uonkling and Kelly to defeat Kohiuson is a most serious af fliction, and it is doing more to dis courage the friends of honest govern ment limn anything that has happen ed within my remembrance. If it suc ceeds it will he a frightful wrong.— Itohlnson has dune the state milch service, and they know it. All men admit that he is true to the people, and they ought to he true to him. He has indeed been n great public bene factor, as tlie statistics of expenses nnd taxation show beyond doubt.— Yet Tauiuiauy proposes to sacrifice not only hint, but tlie great public in terests which lie umiutniiieii because lie bail failed to please some of its leaders in the distrilniliiui of ratrou- age. To think of such treachery is trying to tlie temper—enough' to make a true democrat ‘curse his. bet ter ntigi-l from liis side anil fall to reprobation.”’ “Do you, like many other Pennsyl vanians, think Tildcu tlie most prom inent candidate for the democratic uomination in 1880?” “I don’t think Tihleit wants to be the candidate of 1880 but lie can have tlie nomination if lie is willing to tnke it. All tlie signs show that. The fraud »f which lie was the victim in 1870 gives him a hold upon the popu lar heart, which is hard to lessen.— Besides, lie is known to he a man consummately fitted for the first office in the untion—a thoughtful states man, a studious doctrinaire, with a knowledge of practical alfiiirs which makes his judgment almost infallible. As regards the onre lnuch-tnlked-of cipher dispatches, what > do they pi ore? Why, this, anil this otilv: That those loathsome miscreants who held the returns in their hands tried to blackmail him ; demanded money as the price of an honest certificate, anil a true return—he indignantly anil instantly refused lobe robheii, and then the senu idrcls fabricated the fraudulent returns for which they were paid by the Hayes men. 1 defy any until to lay his linger upon one scintilla of evidence, beyond wltat I have stated, which connects Mr. Til- den with these infamous rascals in any other way. But the false returns were all paid for by the administra tion which they pul into power. Eve ry one of that godless crew is provid ed with a profitable office. There is double baseness in tliis. To reward men for corrupting election returns is unspeakably bad, but to do it with money taken from the public treasu ry is such nil infinite outrage that it asts common bribery or ordinary tenting quite ipto the simile. It is said Mr. Tililcn ought to have seized the presidency nnd had himself inau gurated at all risks. This is unmiti gated nonsense. If tlie house of rep resentatives had declared him elected then lie would have been unfaithful to his duty if he hud not taken pos session ; hut when his political sup porters in congress permitted hint and his constituents to be juggled out of their rights, h»W coqlil the remedy he wrong? llow especially can the members of congress who committed that grave error throw the blame upon him ?’’ “Are you a Tilden man?” “No, I am not a Tilden man. I am for the nominee of the national con vention. My personal preference would be General Hancock, because lie was the first, officer of his rank in the regular army that lifted his voice in say a good word for constitutional liberty, end as long as 1 live I will be grateful to bint for that, if nobody else is. • What I have said about Til den proceeds frotu a conviction that he has been cheated nnd slandorcd, and lie deserves a vindication.” hold the position of forced colonists n-biilileii lo leave a certain place. The Government of Tobolsk alone receives nearly half of the convicts. inn 1870 to 1875 there were trans ported lo Western Siberia 10,000 per- aml a little uneer 80,000 to East- ern Siberia. In such a multitude, lispersed over linniniise space*, mill the majority on such free terms, it is not easy always to maintain discip line and prevent desertions, anil it is not surprising that criminality nttaius frightful proportions. In the Gov- niuiuut of Tobolsk there Is on an nv- rage one crime committed ntinually per seventy-two convicts. - - —— .Jt, -W#— . -- It it is true that Lionel Tennyson, the son of the English poet Inurenle, will henceforth renounce his (ainily name of Tennyson and become Lionel Turner in order to secure$5,000 a year, under Mr. Turner’ll provision, Hie tilling man shows the prose rath er than the poetry of his nature.— Though the miii of a poet, nnd though liii wife is Hie daughter of a poet, lie knows the value of $.'i,(KK) a year, as did his uncle, also a poet anil th hi-olher of a poet, who renounced the slime nnine of Tennyson on the same conditions.

An indignant subscriber to a news paper went into tlie office a few days ngo and ordered his paper stopped, because lie ilill'crcd with the editor in liis views on stibsoiling fence rails. The editor conceded the man’s right to stop liis paper, and remarked cool ly, as he looked over t he list; " “Do you know Jim Sowers, down at Hardscrabble?” “Very well,” said the inan. “Well, he stopped his paper last week because 1 thought, a farmer was a blamed fool who didn’t know that timothy was a good thing to graft on huckleberry bushes, and lie died ill less Ilian four hours.” “Graziotis! is Hint so?” “Yes; and you know old George Erickson, down on Eagle Creek?” “Well, I’ve heard of him.” “Well,” said Ihe editor gravely, he stopped his paper because ho was the happy father of twins, and we congratulated him on his s.-.i-cess so late in life. I lit fell dead within twenty minutes. There’s lots of sim itar cases hut it don’t matter: I’ll just cross your name off, though vo;t don’t look strong, and there's a bad olor on your nose.” “See here.

S|M,.|*I I>ia|i4trl, (ram Ihe K11 lor ol Ihe IN el.| NE\v York, (tetoher 2.—1 called on Mr. Tilden this morning to learn what truth there was in the wiilely- eireuhited statement lately uiaili* by a reliable gnntleninn.” who repre sented himself to hare been for a long time on intiniale per-otial relations with the ilistinguislieil New York statesman. After it careful reading of lint article as ri-puldished in the New A'ork papers, Mr. Tilden in quired as to the name of the author. 1 replied that ( did not know of uiy own personal knowledge, lint that .1. Hale Syplior, former ltepuhlican member of Congress from Louisiana, was credited with its concoction. “1 do not know 8ypher,” Mr. Til den responded. “To the best of my knowledge anil recollection I have never seen him. I ant quite sure lie has never boon at my house at Yonk ers, or Gramcrcy Park, aim I am equally positive lliat no sueli conver sation as is stated in this alleged in terview to have taken place between us, over occurred at Grcpstonc or elsewhere.” “Have you ever hail any sncli con versation with anybody ?” I asked. “With the exception of the single remark that I have not been ami am not now doing anything wlintcver toward securing tlie Democratic re nomination for tlie Presidency, every statement therein made is tiicrc fic tion and coinage of the brain.” ‘ This article asserts,” I continued, “that you have not liestitated to in dulge, with your intimate friends, in sharp criticism of the South; its methods and politics, its course in bringing about an extra session of Congress nnd the acriinoniotis de bates which followed; its neglect of our repudiation of State anil munici pal indebtedness mid the turbulence exhibited in so many Southern com munities. You are quoted as con demning the neglect of its good citi zens to give expression to tlieir dis approval of such courses, which have seriously weighted Northern Demo crats and made the election of the Democratic candidate for the Presi dency exceedingly problematical.— AVIia't of all this, Mr. Tililen ?” “You may say that if these declar ations purport to have been the result of an interview with me they are for geries. If it is intended l»y’the arti cle, whatever its authorship, to make public my expressions in the way of criticism of current political events, either as expressed by nte to my inti mate friends or to the author of this alleged interview, it is more than over a forgery. I have indulged in no such expressions. I ilo not care to go into them in detail, for it would he useless for me to nttenipt to dent- all that may be attributed to me by ingenious but mendacious correspon dents, but it ought to he enough for me to say that I do not know Mr, Syplior. If it be trite, asallegoil, that lie is the Informant of the editor of the paper first making the publica tion, 1 have to state that lie lias never been my guest at mv house, and that the sentiments attributed to me have ucver been uttered by me to intimate friends, and certainly not to casual visitors. I can say that I have not taken any steps to secure a renomina- tion l>y the Democratic party for the Presidency, I pap also say that I do not contompluto taking any measures to secure such nomination, or to re ject it before it is offered. Iam cred ited with having an agent in everv voting precinct throughoutthe United States, and witli many moro equally absurd devices, to secure that which I do not seek. So far as the article referred to is concerned it is a fabri cation and a forgery, and that I may say and that you may say,” replied Mr. Tilden, with emphasis.' Dr. Busby. Perhaps some of the hoys have heard about the famous old school master who lived in England many ycars ago. He was what is called a great “dis ciplinarian.” Ho had the strictest of rules in tlie government of his school, and woe to the boy who dared to vio late them I AVbv, tho very. name of “Dr. Busby” will strike terror to Hie hearts of timid sehool-lmys in Eng land to this day. It was a pretty courageous boy who, one day in the doctor’s absence from the school-room, found some plums, and holding up some in his hand, ‘■aid, in a loud voice, “I pub lish the bans of matrimony between these plums and my mouth ; it any here present know just cause or im pediment why they should not be united, you arc now to declare it, or ever after hold your peace!” Then lie ate them. The Doctor was In an adjoining room, and heard it all, but said noth ing until the next morning, when, causing tlie boy to be “brought up,’’ lie grasped the' rod nnd said, “1 pub lish the banns of matrimony between this roil and this boy; if any one here present knows of just cause of imped intent why they should not lie united, let him now declare it, or ever after hold liis peace I” The boy boldly cried out, “I forbid tho banns of matrimony in this case!” “For what cause?” said tlie doctor. “Because the parties are not agreed.” Tlie severe but not. ill-nntiireil doc tor dropped the rod and laughing heartily at llio boy’s courage and wit, sent him to his seat.

"Iinlade, now,” replied his Irish companion, “but I have seen one as -mall as two of him.” “Is there any oppning here for an intellectual writer?” asked a seedy, red-nosed individual of an editor. “Ye*, my friend,” replied the man Of quills. “A considerate carpen'cr, foreseeing yoar visit, left an opening for you. Turn the knob to the right.” A gentle, spirituelle woman who can’t go out into the back yard to hang up the week’s washing for fear of enleliing cold, will gallivant nil over a wet beach for two hours in a bathing suit, nnd flop around ill the surf a whole forenoon. AVhcn you see a woman balance liers-jlf on one foot, kick the other out wildly behind her, and skillfully swoop up in her hand a fuintail trail', don't be alarmed. She ain't going to have a tit.

AA o frequently hear of narrow es capes from drowning, the victims in nearly every instance being rescued “just ns they were going down for the third time.” AVhv is it they are not saved when about to go down the second time ? Let us hear of some one saved before going down at all, like the Dutchman who was the sole sur vivor of a party of nine, the reason of his miraculous escape being that lie “didn't go oudt in dor poat.” “I Can Swim sir.” During a terrible naval battle be tween the English and the Dutch, the English flag-ship, commanded by Ad- tniral Xnborotigh, was driveu into the thickest of the fight. Two masts were soon shot away and the main mast foil with a fearful crash upon the deck. Admiral Xaborough saw that all was lost unless lie could bring up his ships from tlie right. Hastily ernwling an order, lie called for vol unteers to swim across the boiling water, under the hail of shot and shell. A dozen sailors at once oft’er- ed their services, and among them a cabin boy. “AVIty,” said the Admiral, “what can you do, my fearless lad ?” “lean swim, sir,” the boy replied; “If 1 he shot I can be easier spared than any one else.” N'aborongh hesitated: liis men were few and Ids position was des perate. The boy plunged into tlie sea, amid the cheers of the sailors, anil was soon lost to sight. The battle raged fiercer, and, as the time went on. defeat seemed inevitable. But just a* hope was failing, a thunder, ing i-aiioiiade was heard from the right, and the reserves were heat-in down on the enemy. By sunset the Dutch fleet was scattered far am) wide, and the cabin boy, the hero of tlie hour, was called in to receive the honor due hint. His modesty and hearing so won tlie heart of tlie Ad tniral, that lie exclaimed : “1 shall live to see you haven 11a ship of vottr own.” The prediction was fulfilled when the cabin-hoy, having become Aditti rnl Clomlscy Shovel was knighted ltv tlie King.
