A special to the New York WoriU re
ports the failure of the Bourbon fusion
through tho intrigues of Thiers, who pro
poses to play the role of Gen. Trim in
Spaiu, for a few years. But Thiers is
not Prim, and such an attempt, uusus-
tained by foreign influence, would hasten
his downfall, and remit France to chaos,
In fact, the present condition of that
country is but little better. Thiers eon
serve a master most faithfully, and as an
opposition leader, he is unsurpassed; but
he lacks ovory element of a military dic
tator, and his want of many executive
qualities has been sadly proved during
tne current year. It*will bo noticed,
however, thatth* regular l*ress di qmteh-
m seem ignorant of the J*parted Bom bon
failure, and report a compromise, to
which Thiers is said to hate agreed.

^Rcsoived That we, the citizens of
Powder Springs and vicinity, will lend a
willing co-operation to tne Georgia
Western Railroad company in construct
ing its line of railway to be located
through or near Powder Springs. That
we will use every effort in promoting and
advancing the interest of said company,
and securing its support.
That in oar opinion, this is the most
practicable line of survey, attended with
less expenditure of money and labor ; and
that the increased interest of the people
in this section in behalf of the road would
be a substantial benefit to the company,
equal to its great corresponding advan
tage to the people.
That we, as far as we represent those of
our citizens who sul>scnbed for stock
prior to the war, hereby ratify the same ;
aud as additional inducement to this lo
cation of the line, will give the right of
way through and over our lands, and fur
ther, earnestly engage in support of the
rond and its best interests along this
route.”
Other important resolutions were
adopted and the entire proceedings
of the meeting interesting and character
istic of the energy and liberality of these
people.

The Long Branch correspondent of
the New York Sun, nnder date of June
5th, writes os follows
The President was very much fatigued
on his return from New * York on Hatnr
day; so he did not attend church yester
day, much t<« the chagrin of the country
people, who hud gathered from far and
near to see him. In the evening b
drove out with Mrs. Grant. The elegant
equipage in which they rode attracted
much attention. The carriage is an En

rawn by two very handsome high-step
ping buys. The carriage is a present t<

“THERE GORS GRANT!”
said some one near by. At this excia
matiou a broad-shouldered Western man
who was sitting near, put down his
paper and said sotto voce:
Yes, that’s him.” Then to the Sun
reporter:
‘But I tell yon, stranger, he looks n
mighty sight different a-sittin’ in that
rig than he did when I first seen him
,welve years ago. ”

St Louis Man—Waal, only so-so. I’ve
seen him come into town with a load and
sell it for a couple o’ dollars, and then go
off up to the barracks with a bottle of
whisky, and set there with the army offi
cers till night. Sometimes they’d put
him to bed, and the team to the wood
wagon would git tired o’ waitin’ aud go
off to the farm alone.
Sun Man—Well, a.'l that’s passed and

The folks there remember him when he
was wiles than nobody, aud they ain’t
goin’ to be fooled any more by the glit
ter o’ them eqaulettes. He begin to
think that mebbe a good dtwl of that
military glory is all moonshine, because,
yon see, since Grant's been President,
much of bis natural wuthlessness has
come to light agin. When he was in
the army he was the cock of the walk,
the big toad in the puddle, and all thr
glory won by the little toads come all to
him. But when he got to be Pn^ident,
then he stood more on his own lH>ttom,
and now he don’t havo anybody to make
glory for him. He can’t make none for
himself, aud so he geos without. Jnst
now he’s like a bear in winter time—he’s
livin’ on his old supply ; but when that’s
gone, where’ll he be ? It kind o’ makes
me mad to see him u-ridin’aroand in this
Rtyle, but I suppose it can’t be helped.”
Here the St. Louis man arose with a
sigh, and bowing to the Sun man, de
parted.

A few days since a meeting of the State
Democrntjo Executive Committee was
held at Little R-wk, Arkansas, and put
forth a declaration that “it would he un

During the four montlis of the strike, the
consumption of anthracite coal amounted
to about 4,000,000 tons, on which tin
advance occasioned by the strike was not
less than $2 per ton, makiug a loss to
consumers of $8,000,000. Iu addition to
these looses may be added the loss of

The son of a well known New Haven
politician, whose name b<*gius with B, is
a freshman at Yale and was seated at iv i-
tation near the oolored student Bouchct,
whereupon the B. senior wrote to one of
the professors, asking as a personal favor
that he would change the young man’s
seat, as it was distasteful to him to sit so
near a negro. The professor wrote back
that at present the students were ranged
in alphabetical order, and it was not in
his power to gTant the favor, but “next

We learn that the little boy of Mr. M.
Pitts, of this couuty, was drowned in a
spring of water, near his residence, one
day last week. In his plays, he had wan
dered off, and was not missod by his pa-
i juts until some time afterwards, when a
diligent search was instituted as to his
hereabouts. When found, he was head
foremost in the wat°r, and life of course
was extinct—Marietta Journal
Wheat cutting season is upon us, and
we are fearful that the crop, which is
very short, will be almost ruined with
wet weather. In conversation with a
entlemau from Cussville, on last Tnes-
ay, he informed us that a large portion
of the wheat in that section will not pay
tor harvesting and that if it continues to
rain, they would hardly make seed ; and
that seems to be the opinion of farmers
in other sections. The best crop, on a
small scale, we have heard of is a small
patch in towu of about one and a half
acres, which we are informed will make
about forty bushels.-Cirtcrsville Standard.
A sad case of drowuing occurred on
nr river yesterday afternoon, between
four and five o’clock. A boy named
Theus, about nine years of age, accom-
muied by his brother, were upon the
duff near the government warehouse.—
The deceased brother accidently fell into
the water, and while he wan straggling
to save liimsclf, the other brother’s at
tention was c tiled to the drowuing boy’s
situation. He immediately made an
flfort to rescue him, bat despite his ef
forts, the poor boy’s life become extinct.

The weather for the past week has
been very unfavorable for the farmer,—
The rains have been regular, keeping tho
ground so wet tliut little progress is mode
in destroying weeds and grass. The
wheat is none the better by the constant
showers, though not as yet damaged se
riously. With n few fair days the most
of it will have been re«i>ed, and we are
also able to report, from frequent inqui
ries of parties from different portions of
the county, that, the yield will be far su
perior to what was anticipated four weeks
•since.—[Covington Enterprise.
The Sanderaville Gru -gian says : Corn,
on uplands where it lias been worked out,
is growing despite the rain. It is con
ceded tlmt a better crop of grass never
was seen in Wariiingt ».i county before.
Cotton is awfully sick and people are
sick of it Under tin* most favorable
circumstances flora now on the yield
cannot be more than half a crop. With
out an early change for the better, but
little wheat euu be saved. The season
has been fiue for potatoes and the pros
pect is good. Planters report hogs do
ng well, and tho probabilities are favor
able for an abuudaiioe of baoou. With
plenty of corn aud bacon we can afford
to have a poor cotton crop, provided, it
is general.
We have just learned the particulars
>f a wanton aud malicious attack upou
J. M. Bryan, at PI tuevdla. It seems
that a man by the name of Hix called
for a quart of whisky, at the same time
handing Bryan a bill, for which he re
ceived the whisky, and change less the
value of tlie whisky. Hix, who is said
to be a desperate character, was not sat
isfied with the amount returned in
ange, aud demanded more. Bryan
asked that he should return the whisky,
tike back the hill, and it could be ar
ranged to his (Hix’s) satisfaction. Hix
then, provokingly alleged that Bryan
waa armed and wished to shoot him.
Bryan protested, whereupon, Hix struck
with an opeu knife, inflicting a serious if
uot fatal wouud about Mr. Bryan’s
throat A negro iu Uie employ of Mr.
~ ntorfured to arrest the assassin,
i a severe cut iu tho arm. Hix es-
and is still at Urge. —Calhoun

An old rat in New Bed lord got captur

and spoeddy evinced signs of much de-

small army of conspirators rallied to the
spot, attracted by his cries, and--rescued
him?—no, they did’ut do that; but they
went right to work, skinned him, and ate
