REPURLtCA vV PRESIDENTIAL CAN
DIDA TES.
Tbe National Convention of the Repub
lican Party 'till meet in Chicago on next
Wednesday, the 20th infant, for the pur
pose of nominating candidates for the
Presidency and Vice Presidency.
The nomination of General Grant for
the Presidency has iieea already made by
the almost unanimous voice of the party,
and as to that otHce the Convention will
have little else to do than confirm that
nomination. It is true that when the sul>-
ject first la-gnn to lie agitated an important
section of the party adhered to Chief
Justice Chase, but his friends have yielded
their predilections, and the party with an
unanimity unexampled, are now centred
upon General Grant, nnd his nomination
may be considered certain, beyond a doubt.
The contest, if there is a contest, will be
concerning the nomination for the Vice
Presidency. Os tin- many eminent men
spoken of, Messrs. Wade, Colfax nnd
Wilson seem to be the most prominent.
The sole objection to either of the two
first mentioned is, that l>oth are Western
men, as is Grant, and a long established
custom demands that the candidates lor
the Presidency and Vico Presidency shall
be taken from different sections of the
country.
This rule may be considered of lorce
now, and if so. Senator Wilson will, in all
probability, receive the nomination. For
ourselves, wo would gladly have the nonii
nee for the Vice Presidency come from the
South, and it would be hard to find a more
true, more patriotic, and fitter man tor the
position than the lion. Joshua Hill, of our
own State, but in our present anomalous
condition, neither in the Union or out of
it, we fear such an attempt to make such a
nomination would be hopeless. Taking
the tacts, therefore, that there are sectional
objections to almost every other candidate
fir the Vice Presidency, we think the
choice of the Convention will fall upon
tlie lion. Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts.
Whoever the choice falls upon, he must
be a reliable Republican. The party lias
learned this much wisdom, that when the
Vice President succeeds to the Presidential
Chair, whether by the assassin’s bullet or
peacefully, and in accordance with the
provisions of the Constitution, he shall not
again be one who will betray the party
and the country, and prove false to all his
previous professions and promises.
KCKf.rX BLOWING.
In speaking'of the late election in this
State, the windy Athenian of the Macon
Journal <{• Messenger declares that, “as
soon as the people are freed from their
fetters and the galling chains which now
clang around their limbs, they will drive
the Goths and Vandals from their land,
and overturn all their idolatrous temples."
If there be a class of men whom the
world holds in supreme contempt more
than another, it is the modern, gascon
ading tribe, who, in times of peril, “roar
you gently as sucking doves”; but who
come forth when war lias smoothed his
“wrinkled front," with great big sounding
words full of froth anil fury, signifying
nothing.
PfcßTiNExr Qubrv. —lii the matter of
Military government, our readers arc aware
of the fact that we Imve urged such action
as would soonest admit of the withdrawal of
every soldier now in the Southern States-
But ought the troops to be withdrawn while
widely influential journals boast that on
such withdrawal whole classes of people,
guilty of no conceivable offence, would be
driven from the country, or murdered il they
refused to go ? That’s the question.
Financial. —A short method of settling a
grave and an important question is proposed
by Mr. A. A. Low, formally years President
of the New York Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. Low says that a simple resolution, passed
by both Houses ol Congress, that the live
twenty bonds, none ol which are due till
1882, will be paid in coin, would do far more
to establish confidence than all the gold that
can by any means be heaped up in the
Treasury.
Reform. —A great many Reform move
ments arc on the (ajax in England, and the
aristocracy of that land bid fair to have their
hands full shortly, and it may take some
thing more than Mr. Disraeli's power,
assisted by his Grace, the Bishop of Canter
bury, and other dignitaries, lords spiritual
and lords temporal, to keep down Reform
and to conserve ancient abuses.
Republican ideas are spreading.
White Tickets. —The Ohio Legislature
has passeo a law requiring all election tick
ets to lie hereafter printed upon while paper.
The regulation had been suggested by the
practice of proprietors ot large factories and
workshops forcing all their workmen to vote
their wray by printing tickets of peculiar
color, and watching their men deposit them
in the box. It Uas been the practice of
these gentlemen for years to promptly dis
charge any and every man who did not vote
to suit them, and yet they have never been
arrested by the military for it.— Exchange.
If our Legislature should pass a similar
law, it would play the mischief with the
Disunionists of Georgia, who did the same
thing at the recent election.

A private dispatch from a trustworthy
source, received at 2.16 this morning, as
sure* us that two of the remaining doubtful
Senators will vote for conviction, and thus
rid the nation of its only obstacle to peace
and prosperity. —A’. Tribune, 1 'ith
in the building of yaehls an improvement
is announced. Tito masts are surrounded
in the “step” with India-rubber springs,
instead of being fastened by wedges. This
plan is said to diminish the strain on the
mast, and also to increase the speed of ihe
vessel. It would seem to be applicable to
ail sailing traits all well as yachts.

TUE BANK HITT ACT.
No honest man can avail himaalf of this
act owing to the enormous eteponae attend *
ing it: first, ‘seventy five dollars must be
deposited to pay the clerk nnd marshal,
neat from seventy five to two hundred and
fifty dollars for attorney fees, Aliy honest
man with that much money would feel
bolter by paying a just debt than to give it
to oyiers to keep him from paying.
That man who is an honest bankrupt
should have nothing to pay. lie just before
you ure generous.
Can there be no change in this matter?
In justice to my own feelings I could not
giv# ono dollar to any person, other than a
creditor, beyond the necessities of my
family, and yet I am a Baxkripi'.
THE SOUTHERN TRESS ASSOCIA
TION.
Wo find, in the Atlaula Era, the follow
ing sensible remarks relative to the meeting
in this city of the “Mutual Admiration
Society,” sometimes called the Southern
Press Association:
The organization known as the Southern
Press Association, held its annual conven
tion in Augusta on the 6th and 7th of the
present month. This Association had, we
believe, its origin during the war, and was a
decided benefit to its members. Since the
war it has been kept up, for mere form’s
sake, without materially liencfitting any of
its members. Its chief duty seems to bo to
hold annual meetings, reward it3 officers
with votes of thanks, have a baiupiet gotten
up for the benefit ol its members when
practicable, and then adjourn to some other
place for the following year.
It is, perhaps, well to inform our readers,
that wliile*tbis Association lias a bona fide
existence, the reading .public of the South
is entirely dependent upon the New York
Associated Press for every item of telegraphic
news they get. This Southern Association
is by no means an auxiliary to the New
York Association. It dues not restrict, pr
direct the latter, nor is the latter in any way
influenced or controlled by it. It claimed
one privilege, however, which was conceded
by the New York Association—that of
naming the Washington reporter. Farther
than this the duties of the Southern Press
Association are nominal (or social), while
its benefits to its members are purely
visionary.
in tbc convocation at Augusta, there
were twelve daily papers represented. Nine
of these were Georgia papers, one Alabama,
one Tennessee, and one South Carolina.
There were no Mobile, New Orleans,‘Vicks
burg, Jackson, Richmond, Lynchburg,
Petersburg, Norfolk, Wilmiugton or Raleigh
papers represented, yet this handful of
editors went forward, bearing on their few
shoulders the machinery of an organization
that is presumed to cover the whole South.
They did the wholo work manfully, how
ever, even to the banquet and the customary
votes of thanks. There were present at
this meeting seven editors of daily papers
who do not reside in Augusta. Several of
the papers outside of Augusta were repre
sented by Augusta editors. In fact, Augusta
controlled the affair, and had it all its own
way, which fact, perhaps, accounts for the
exclusion of the Augusta Ukpcbmcan. This
paper was not shut out by the voice of the
Association, blit the caucus was held in the
editorial rooms of a paper that is not
friendly with the Reituucan ; hence it
amounted to a virtual exclusion of that
journal, notwithstanding it pays as heavy
an assessment for its news as either of the
immaculate journals of that oily which
were admitted to, and, doubtless, controlled
the councils; and each of which papers, if
we remember correctly, and we think we
do, received a bonus of live hundred dollars
for admitting the Her i/ih.ican* to the
benefits of the New York Associated Press,
which admission jiossibly included the
benefits of the Southern Press Association
as well.
Happily, however, the organization, after
two days’ silting, a banquet, and the cus
tomary vote of thanks, has adjourned to
meet no more until sometime next February.
Its next meeting " ill he held in Mobile. \\ <-
protest that it ought to he held in Montgom
ery. for flic benefit ol the unlv Alabama
paper that was courteous enough to come
over and be sociable; besides, it would
have been more convenient for the provin
cial Georgia editors who aspire to indulge io
these little “mutual admiration societies.”

The “Sharpest and Quickest’’ Yet.—
We heard, yesterday, of a decis on by which
the Democratic Senator elect from the
Thirtieth District, composed of the counties
of Madison, Oglethorpe ami Elbert, was
ousted and his place given to his scalawag
opponent, one Jim McWhorter. For the
benefit of genii-men engaged in similar
business elsewhere, hut who have not been
favored, like Hulbcrl, with such special
aptness for manipulating election returns to
suit the wishes of their employers, we give
the modus opeiandi:
Mattox, Democrat, from the district afore
said, was elected by a small majority—
twenty, perhaps, and so the returns sent to
Hulbert showed. Ilis opponent failing in all
other measures to defeat the wishes of the
people, and get the seat, got a lot of negroes
to make an affidavit that they had voted for
Gordon, while intending to vote for Bullock.
This document was laid before Halbert, and
upon its authority lie throws out Mattox’s
majority, mid declares McWhorter elected I
Comment upon the chief d’tenure of Radical
rascality would be like gilding refined gold,
or painting the lily, and we tncrefore make
none.—Journal A Messenger.
The above is not so—as we happen to know.
Mattox never was elected to the Senate from
the Thirtieth District, even counting the
miserable abortion of an election held in
Elbert county—but McWhorter was elected
by the legal voters of the District, ns was
abundantly proved before Colonel Hurlbcrt
and the Board of military gentlemen assem
bled in Atlanta.

A Back-Haxdkd Slap.—Brother Clisby
of the Macon Telegraph —who always speaks
to the point - publishes the proposition made
for a State Convention by the rival Demo
finite presses of Augusta, sintl then, in his
iiiimitnlde sarcastic way. adds :
We agree decidedly with our Augusta
friends that n State Convention should bo
called, if only for the purpose of organizing
the party in their section of the State, a 'inly
whose sad negleet has cause*l us a most
mortifying defeat, and brought inexpressible
humiliation upon the whole Stile. When
the t all shall he issued, we hope the Augusta
press will be diligent to hold up to its people
the disastrous consequences of their past
indifference nnd inaction; and wlmn the
Convention and its duly authorized agents
shall take action in future, we hope the snine
press will overcome all personal objections,
and give Unit action a cordial support, and
not aequiese with a protest, and thus paralyze
the power of Iho party and chill its spirit,
aii it has done in the past.
AGRICULTURAL AND DOMESTIC ,
Lice as Chickens.—A Massachusetts
poultry raiser gives his mode of banishing
lice, thus;
For a number of years past I have kept
from 20 to 50 hens, and they ulbd to bo
much troubled with hen lice; and though I
kept rajr ben house (as 1 thought) pretty
well whitewashed, at times it was orerruu,
I was told if 1 made roosts of tho sassafras
wood, it would surely drive the lice off. Not
being able to got that kind of wood for
roosts, 1 set about devising a substitute. Ono
day I came across a large bed of common
tansy. 1 gathered a good quantity, took it
to my henhouse, ami made several nice
nests. This was done in the summer of
1564. Last season 1 renewed the tansy.
When the lice left 1 know not, hut this l
do know, I have not seen a louse, or the
sign of a hen louse about the premises tor
more than a year, and I have examined the
hens pretty often and thoroughly.
Preserving Fugs.—The following recipe
is from a work on “Game Fowls,” by
Cooper & Vernon, of Media, Pa.:
Dissolve some gum shellac in a sufficient
quantity of alcohol to make a thin varnish,
give each egg a coal, and, after they have
become thoroughly dry, pack them in bran
or saw dust, with their points downward, in
such a manner that they cannot shift about.
After you have kep*. them us long ns you
desire, wash tin* varnish carefully oft’, and
they will ho iu the same state as they were
before packing, ready either for eating or
hatching. Tho author of this work states
tiiat lie has been engaged for thirty years in
raising (he best of game fowls, and he has
frequently imported eggs from Europe which
he directed to he packed according to this
recipe, and from such eggs he has raised
chickens. This is certainly a very simple
mode of preserving eggs, and very superior
to the common method of laying them down
in milk of lime.
Mr. McPherson, a firmer of Parkersburg
township, has brought to our office a lusus
ncturtv in the shape of an egg laid by one
of his Shanghai fowls. When not phveed
under the direct rays of light, its color is
that of the ordinary Shanghai egg, hut under
a strong light, either that of the sun or of
gas, it presents upon every part of its surface
all the colors of the rainbow very clearly
atul beautifully depicted. Mr. McP. says
the only way he can account for it is upon
the principle by which children arc marked
through some strong impression received by
the mother. Thus her pensive henship
must have been romantically impressed with
the sight of a rainbow. —Parkersburg Times.
It is a curiou- fact that the fine particles
of partially carbonized matter, which give
the peculiar hazy or smoky appearance to
the atmosphere of the Atlantic States, during
the Indian Summer, come from a region
entirely across the continent. These minute
atoms, examined by the microscope, are
found to belong to vegitahle organisms which
are only produced ou the plains at the base
of the Rocky Mountains, and the atoms are
wafted hither through some wonderful mete
orological agency.
Avery remarkable story comes from
Exeter, England, about a cab horse. The
cab came into collision with a cart, and
smashed it-, nnd for four hours the cab
was driven about the streets. At last, when
it. reached home, it was discovered that a
piece of the shaft of tile broken cart, fifteen
inches in length, had pierced the animal’s
breast, and still lay there. It was extracted,
and the horse died a short time afterwards
from exhaustion, no doubt the result of the
agony it had#ndurcd during the lour hours.
The Newport Mercury says there may lie
seen, at a liouso on Narragansett avenue,
between Spring street and Bellevue avenue,
a very domestic old cat fulfilling the duties
of a guardian to young chicken. She hail
formerly three chickens under her charge,
hut two of them died, and the surviving one
is cared for as tenderly as if it were a kitten.
Pussy carries food to it, and when she
retires for the night the chicken finds a soft
bed at her side.
To Keep Insects out ok Bird Gages.—
lie up a little sulphur in a silk hag and
suspend it in the cage. For mocking birds
this is essential to their health, and the
sulphur will keep all the red ants and other
insects from the cages of all kinds of birds.
Red ants will never be found in a closet or
drawer if a small hag of sulphur be kept
constantly in these places.
A Good Cement.—Alum and plaster of
Paris well mixed with water, and used in a
liquid .Male, will form a very useful cement.
It will be found quite handy for many pur
poses. it forms a very hard composition,
nnd for fixing the brasses, etc., on lamps,
nothing could he better.
Thu Chinese have a wheelbarrow in com
nion use, which is an improvement on our
harrow. The wheel is in the middle. It is
not uncommon to sec a sail set on this
wagon, and if the wind is fair, they can
make six miles an hour easy. This is a
hint the Yankees ought to he able to profit by.
S. C. Herring, the safe manufacturer, lias

When the Pacific Railroad is finished,
the tour of the world can be made in two
mouths and a half. From New York lo
San Francisco will take seven days ; from
San Francisco to Hong Kong, liy way of
Yokokaraa, twenty days; from Hong Kong
by steamer to Suez, thirty two days ; from
Suez to Paris, siS days ; front Paris to New
York, ten days ; in all, seventy five days,
This can only bo done, however, by continu
ous travelling and successful connections
everywhere ; and the adveutuums voyager
who undertakes lo accomplish the whole
distance in the time we have mentioned,
will be pretty well used up when he gets
back to New York again. We advise him
rather to ntnke his arrangements so that he
can stop awhile at the chief points of interest
on his way, such as Yokohama, Hong
Kong, Manila, Bombay, Cairo, Malta, Leg
horn, Marseilles, Paris, and London. This
will require about twice as much lime ns he
will spend in actual travelling, and ten times
as much money ; but he will be well repaid
for his outlay, and in after days can 101 l his
children td’ the wondrous sights and strange
people he saw in his famous journey around
the globe.
We are favored with a pamphlet ‘Rnll
ol the Black Dupes and White Renegades
who voted in Mobile city and county for the
Menagerie Constitution for the State of Ala
bama,” which is announced us “Published
by order of tho Constitutional Club of Mo
bile." Tbe object of this publication is
unquestionably to proscribe ami persecute
these voters, s i that they shall be starve I or
buttled out of the State. This is an old
dodge, but it seldom wins. We cite this
pamphlet as no argument for tho admissitm
of Alabama by Congress under this "Menag
erie Constitution.’’ If seventy thousand men,
nearly all poor and dependent, would brave
the consequences of voting to ratify it—many
of them knowing full well that they did so at
the cost of their children's bread -they
ought lo bn sustained and strengthened.

LOW COMEDY MULE.
In tho spectacular performance ofHumpty
Drnnpty, now running «t tho Olympic, a
small mule is introduced, and u made to
appear quite comically by tho dexterity of
hiß heels.
About a fortnight ago the regular animal
fell ill, aud an amateur was substituted.
When ono of tho characters touched the
new mule to make him kick, he began in
admirable style. Ilu kicked off the fellow
and kicked him twice before ho touched the
boards. Then be ran toward several of the
others, dramatis personae, nnd kicked them.
Every object on the stago, whether material
or mental, lie kicked oft Next he began
on the scenery. He kicked down a whole
forest, three good sized cottages, a pietur
esquu cascade, a granite prison, a robber’s
cave, a royal palace, the Rialto, and Vesu
vius in eruption, and was about to attack
the “ grnna transmutation scene” from
“Midsummer Night's Dream,” when a rope
was thrown around his neck, aud he was
dragged off by • lie whole strength of the
company, assisted by nil the able bodied
supernumeraries.
The audience, many of whom supposed the
obstreperous mule’s doings a part of the per
formance, were delighted at his energy, and
demanded, with deafening plaudits, a repe
tit ion of the scene. The uproar was so
great that the manager came out aud said
that an intermission of fifteen minutes
would he given to enable some of the actors
to recover the breath that that d—d mule
had kicked nut of them, and pledged his
honor that tlje brute should never make
another appearance on the Olympic stage.
At this the audience roared louder than
ever, and for nearly an hour tho perform
ance was suspended by the universal guffaw.
Every night since, the kicking mule has
been called for, and the manager of the
theatre has, in consequence, inserted an
advertisement in the daily papers that the
animal was mysteriously knocked in the
head the same night of his highly successful
debut. —A tic York Taper.
The Democratic party, after a long
resistance to the party of freedom, was at
last beaten at the ballot box in the election
of Lincoln, But its love of power and its
devotion to human slavery was such that
it drew the sword rather than yield to the
decision of the people. Beaten again in
war, as before at the ballot box, it has
touglit hard siuce the close of the rebellion
to regain possession of the Government.
It has assassinated one President, and the
treachery of another has given it the active
aid of the Executive branch of the Govern
ment. Its principles are base, and it uses
the baser passions of men to accomplish its
ends. Treachery has again been enlisted
in its service, and this time a few Sena
tors, defying the wjl! of their constituents
and utterly regardless of the claims of their
party or their country, are doing their
worst to throw the Government again into
ils hands. Its appetite for power has been
sharpened by the deprivation of it which
it has suffered during the last eight years.
If through the perfidy of a few men it
succeeds in regaining what it lias lost, it
will resort to any means to retain possession.
Conscious that its principles can never
command the approbation of the people, it
will rely lor the perpetration of its power on
fraud or force, and will not relinquish it while
these or any other means enable it to resist
the popular will.— Washington Chronicle.
Heavy Rains—Wheat Crop.—There
were heavy rains iu the first half of this
week, and serious apprehensions are felt as
to their effect upon the wheat crop. This
grain is now in a very critical condition,
and too much rain—particularly if it turns
oil’ hot and sultry afterward, will be likely
to induce so numb rust as to nearly ruin it.
Up to this time*he crop, generally, in this
section of country promises well. Its fate
will he decided in the next ten days. —Rome
Courier.
A bill has been introduced into the
