hot probably.
Mr. Price** Murderer*.
Before His Honor, Foster Blodgett,
John Reynolds, and R. M. Phinizy,
Esqs., yesterday, the two colored men,
John Driver and Lewis Jones, were
fully committed for trial at the next
regular term of the Superior Court, to
be held in January next, charged with
having murdered Mr. Price, near Quaker
Springs, iu this County.
Matrimonial.
Up to July Ist, or during the past six
months, seventy marriage licenses were
issued by the ordinary of Fulton county
to whites. During the year 18G6, only
one hundred and twelve. Up to July
Ist. ninety licenses were issued to
colored persons.
Mercer University.
The Atlanta papers have made stren
uous appeals for the location of the
above University in that city. Also the
citizens of Griffin have invited an
inspection by the Board of its peculiar
advantages, and seems desirous for its
location there. We would not have any
objection to bear of Augusta being
cWu,,,. the attractions of our beautiful
city are w.q known, however, and we
wdl await the nc,y,„ oft , ]e } ioard .
Death by l.ighiulu h
During the storm yesten ay evening
two colored boys, sons of Wilr Um g um _
merfield, were struck by lightning Rnd
one of them instantly killed. The otu, r
was stunned for a short time, but
received no serious injury. They
resided in Canaan, one of the suburbs
of this City.
We learn that the lower Market
House was struck about the same time.
The lightning passed down the
conductor which happened to be broken,
but the fluid luckily passed off at the
fracture without doing damage.
The Finances of Georgia.
From a statement of the financial
condition of the State, aa furnished by
the Treasurer, John Jones, Esq., we copy
the following recapitulation:
Assets, exclusive of taxes . . $11,019,600.00
Bond! in Treasury, nut sold 996,000.00
$12,009,600.00
Total debt, including interest 6,266.696.00
Assets over all liabilities . . . $5,761,966.00
Good Advice.
In delivering the prizes at the com
mencement exercises of Mercer Univer
sity; Major Joseph B. Cummins, in his
address upon the ‘‘Art of the Orator,”
urged one point not found in the books,
viz : Not to hold yourself ready to speak
on all occasions, but to speak only
when you have something of importance
to say. Stump speakers, members of
the Legislature and members of Con
gress would do well to practice this
rule. What an amount of gab it would
save.
Disagreeable Practice.
The practice indulged in by many of
smoking in market, is decidedly a
disagreeable, not to say disgusting one.
The fumes from dirty pipes are enough
to sicken any decent man before break
fast, and must certainly prove verv
offensive to ladies who are obliged to do
marketing. And yet men, apparently
forgetful of or indifferent to this fact,
carry their pipes among the crowd and
smoke as industriously' as though no
one was near to scent their fumes. It
is a pity but what the practice could be
stopped.
How IVot to Leave it Car,
The ignorance of the laws of gravi
tation shown by many persons is almost
inexcusable. For instance, in leaving
a street car (which many persist in
doing while the same is in motion)
persons jump backward off at a angle
with the track, or almost any way
except the right one. Such careless
ness frequently results in falls and
contusions, which might he avoided if
they would but spring forward in the
direction in which the car is proceeding.
There is a rule forbidding a passenger
leaving the car while in motion ; but to
those who choose to disobey, the above
hint may be of practical value.
Our readers had better cut out the
above paragraph, and lay it by until our
energetic friend Col. Cole gets his street
railroad in operation. By the sisrns, it
won’t be very long that we will have to
wait.
The Pouboily Fund.
A Teachers’ Convention, for the State
of Virginia, was in session at Lynch
burg last week. The session was a
very interesting one. Rev. Dr. Sears,
General Agent of the Peabody Fund,
was present and addressed the Conven
tion in a very entertaining speech, in
the course of which he stated his
intention in visiting the South was for
the purpose of thoroughly examining
into the educational wants of tlie
country, with a view to decide how the
cause would be best subserved iu the
distribution of the Peabody fund—
whether in its appropriation to primary
or normal schools, or to academies and
colleges. This statement is ol interest
to all. Now that the prospect of imme
diate starvation has passed, we can
think of educational matters.
Catholics in the United Staten.
It has been estimated that the num
ber of Catholics in the United States
in 1830, was 450,000, in 1840 it was
960,000, 4.400,000 in 1860. According
to these estimates, the Catholics double
in number every ten years, and iu 1870
we shall have eight or nine millions, or
nearly one fifth of the whole population.
Seventy five years ago, the United
States did not have a single Catholic
Bishop. The first bishopric was estab
lished in Baltimore in 1799, and now
they have 7 archbishops, 33 bishops, 61
archpriests, 3.833 priests, 72 seminaries,
1,400 schools, 3,000 churches, besides
other institutions, and property esti
mated at $37,000,000.
Sontticm Express Company.
The Savannah Herald , of the 25th,
publishes the following well timed
remarks:
We see that the officials of one or two
Western railrcad-j, who have now begun
to grow jealous of the increasing trade
of this Company, are discussing the
subject of taking the express business
into their own hands. These gentle
men do not reflect, perhaps, that the
Express business was started in obedi
ence to the wishes of the people, who
could not find such reliable and speedy
accommodation as they desired in the
railroad management. Now, that some
of the Railroad Companies see this
Express Company powerful and pros
perous, they make the discovery that
the latter are doing a businees that
properly belongs to the Railroad, and
aosire to exclude the Express agents
from their roads, and take to them
selves all the benefit of the labor and
energy expended in building up a
useful aud profitable institution.
If the change should be effected, of
which we have not the slightest appre
hension, we do not think the public will
leave the old and well tried Express
agents for the incomplete arrangements
of railroad officials. ‘The business of a
railroad demands an attentive super
vision, which would leave no time to
attend properly to an Express. The
Southern Express business, as time and
experience have demonstrated, is man
aged by men of activity and integrity,
and who have always been prompt in
payment for losses. If, as has been
said, our people in every department of
business evinced but half the zeal and
energy which have established the
Southern Express Company, as a per
manent institution of the country, there
be such a prospect of golden
as has never been paralled.

A City Fox (’bate.
The only incident which occurred in
the City to vary the stupid monotony
consequent on this hot weather, was a
fox chase down Broad and Jackson
streets yesterday. Somebody’s tame
fox got loose and afforded capital sport
to divers young and old citizens of
European, African, and mixed descent.
Upon the whole, the race was an
exciting one to the pursuers, bat
Reynard himself seemed not to take
much interest iu it, for he galloped
leisurely along, glancing occasionally
over his shoulder, with an expression
on his countenance as if he would say
if he could “Don’t you wish you could
come it.” Attempts were made to set
the dogs, of which there are always
plenty, mongrel and cur of low degree,
loafing about our streets after the
manner of gentlemen of leisure, hut
they were too civilized and dignified to
notice such a low ami ill dressed fellow
as a fox, and to tell the truth, most of
them seemed afraid of the rough looking
cracker. The last we saw of the fox
he was making for the Georgia Railroad
Depot, where we hope Colonel Cole
gave him a ticket for some more
congenial and wooden locality.
Ruilroad (.'on veil I ion.
The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Atlanta and West Point
Railroad, was held in Atlanta on Thurs
day. The meeting was more fully
attended than for many years past. The
reports of the officers of the road
showed it to be in a prosperous condi
tion. Everything passed off harmo
niously. The old board was unani
mously reflected, viz.: John P. King,
President; Richard Peters, Ferdinand
Phinizy, Hon. 0. A. Bull, Jesse Me
London, and John E. Robinson, Direc
tors.
Detl iration.
The Odd Fellows of Savannah dedi
cated their hall on Wednesday night,
which has recently been fitted up. The
ceremonies are reported to have been
exceedingly interesting. After the close
of the consecration ceremonies, says
the Advertiser, a beautiful stiver pitcher
was presented to the M. W. G. M. by
P. G. John T. Thomas, in behalf of
the brethren ot the Order, over which
Grand Master Haupt has so ably
presided. The Grand Master was taken
by surprise, but responded in a grateful
and graceful manner, reiterating his
sentiments of love for the Order and
his brotherly feeling toward all con
nected with it.
Going to 11—1 Alive.
At a farm house recently, in the
lower end of Knox county, some one at
the mpper tabie had been reading the
Governor’s proclamation calling out
the militia. The old lady listened with
painful attention. Dropping her knife
and fork and wiping her mouth with
the corner of her apron, she broke
forth: “1 just believe this war ain’t
over yet. These folks are goiu’ to
begin to shoot one another again. I’ll
tell you, folks, what it is, if Browulotv
don't die soon he’ll go to h—l alive.’
After which she finished her supper.

A Hit at Com»i>ondi‘iice.
We find the following good “hit” in
an exchange. Those who have been
in the “noospaper” business, and have
ever been afflicted, will appreciate it :
A publisher of a paper made arrange
ments with a man in a neighboring
town to furnish him with news items
from that locality. The result of the
arrangement is as follows, and was
rather startling to the editor : “There
iz not much noos around here yit, but
there iz a liitui, A man bad his hed
cut in a site last nite, the dootur sez if
he don't get well in mornin, that he will
hev to die certing ; he leves 1 small

and I gess he’z got the kolery but sum
people say his wife pizened him, the

they is goih to hold a post morting over
him. Another man’s horse died last

There is very little demand, and the market
is quiet.
COTTON—The market has been quiet,
but firm. There was very little offering,
and holders wore unwilling to accedo to

to brace the market up.
CORN—Has fluctuated oonsidorably to
day, varying from $1.58 in the morning,
and clusiug at $1.65 from dopot, a„d $1.70
from store. The supply is light, aud
