Moodi and Bankey have concluded their Boston labors. The Advertieer Bays: “Boston has not been profoundly stirred* A large majority of our citizens have been no more affected by it than by any other temporary phenomenon whioh they knew waa an oooaaion of interest to many, bnt whioh assert no imperative demands upon their attention." Thz Yorkville (8. 0.) Enquirer : Mrs. J. L. Oille, formerly Miss Uaffleld, who was raised in the vioinity of Yorkville, but who is now living near Wood Lawn, Gaston oounty, North Carolina, recently gave birth to triplets, all of who are alive and doing well. Her husband is a four years badly wounded Confederate. Loan Roszb.iit, when visiting Wash ington three or four years ago, said a pat thing about New England's relations to the rest of the country: “I observe, said Bosebery “that the people of your Middle, Western, Southern and Paoiflo Btatea dig their living ont of the soil. But the New Englanders dig their living out of other people.” Hans is tbs latest Parisian dinner drase: “Moonlight blue velvet,embroidered with white silk and silver; the blaok is of orange colored faille, with streps of bine velvet retaining its fulness.

Re cently another invention has been patented whioh may produoe almost as marked an effect as the ootton gin. It is the picker, It ia a wagon-like maohine, which driven through the ripened fields, and picks clean every scrap of ootton, and nothing exoept cotton, and naves the labor of one hundred hands. Where the price of the staple may go to with this invention in general nee it is impossible to fathom, This maohine is a North Carolina affair, and is said to do good work. Bah Antonio (Texas) Expreee, 25th ult.: Yesterday morning brought start ling reports concerning an Indian raid on the Hondo Valley country. Indians to the number of about forty raided Quthi, New Fountain and Uvalde counties, mak ing thair appearance Sunday, and com- manoed oapturing all the horses they eonld find. Two companies of troops and oitizena in equads from Frio, Quihi, New Fountain and Uvalde are in pursuit, and it is thought the raiders will be cap tured. There were many reports on the streets laat evening that a running fight had been engaged in between the Indians and their pursuers, between Brandera and tha Hondo. Captain Kingsbcrry got a dispatch that one of his herds had been attacked, and that in a fight with the In dians eight men had been killed. A Buddhist Missionary has arrived in New York from China, in the person of Wong Chin Foo, a learned pundit and a fluent and eloquent orator in the English tongue, who proposes to show it ia all stuff to talk about the Ofaineea aa idola ters and heathen. He says: “I challenge any man to say that ha ever beard a Chinese man, woman or ahild taka the name of Almighty God in vain, unless it waa ia the English lan guage after he had become demoralized." The Buddhist religion had all tha Ten Commandments of Moaas long before Moses existed, and the golden rule of """•y spoken and taught by Confu cius 650 years before Jesus was born. joev m. Joey B. issly, devilish sly. If he does not desire a United States Benatorship, why ia ha endeavoring to break down Gordon? Who besides himaetf ia the tied out horse ? The Electoral Commission had passed as a Democratic measure. Tha members met The decisions were against Tildes. When Florida-and Loniaiana were derid ed for Hayes all ohances for Tildeu were gone. The ohoioe was between Hayes or aomeworae Radical who would be elected Preaident of the Senate. Hayes was far pre ferable to Morton. That Tilden oould be flllibustered in at that stage of the game was an impossibility, and John Young Brown, Levy of Louisiana, and othara, with Gordon present, and advised by Lamar, endeavored to secure pledges from Hayea that troops would be removed from Louisiana and Booth Carolina and succeeded. Now Joey B. has the sheek to oharge John Young Brown and Gor don with selling out Tilden. The trick ia too transparent We say they did right and the South applauds their aotion, and Hampton and South Carolina has publioly thanked Gordon. Joey B. is very sly, but he must try some other tack to secure poeition. Ex-Governor Brown is oredited with having a very long head by those who have borrowed his money. He was among the very strongest secessionists, and seised United States property before the State of which he was Chief Executive had passed the ordinance of secession. If he had suoh clear foresight why did he not propbeoy the result as Btephens did ? On the contrary he precipitated the oonfliot. A short time elapses and we find him, more than any other man in the entire Confederacy, demoralizing the Georgia troops in the Southern armies, and thus aiding the enemy. Ask any of the Georgia troops if this is not so. The revolution doses, and he is the only Georgia lawyer to proeeoute Georgia young men before a military oourt for United States gold. He bad the choosing of standing true by the side of the South or joining her oppres sors. He joined the latter. With his aid the State oould have been quioker restored lo home rule. Between Gordon, a Oemooratio candidate, and Bullock, a oerpet bagger, he supported the latter. He waa ohosen Supreme Oourt Judge by carpet-baggers, bnt thank heaven, while running as their candidate for U. S. Senator, the Democrats had strength and iniluenoe to beat him. He acted with the Badioals throughout and it was a matter of enrpriae to all when it was an nounced he would support Tilden. Now he gives seemingly plausible reasons for bis course, but they were not heard of until laat year. Now this newly convert ed Democrat is oharging our purest and best men with bargain and sale. The people do not forget thus early. Where is the remarkablo foresight of the ex Gov< ernor ? He has made money during and sinoe tha war. Thousands have done the eame. He was once a delegate to a Re publican National Convention. This ia oonsistent Demooraoy in his eyes. Had he not better oheok to some extent, his new boro zeal. He must grow in graoe before be can be trusted. MODE or NOMINATION. This oounty will give a very large ma jority for the Convention. There are many aspirants—numbers of moat ex oellent gentlemen, who will reflect honor upon the oounty. We all know the utter hnmbuggery in thia oentury of saying an offloe seeks tha man. We do not believe it has ever happened that an office was obtained whioh a man did not seek. We want the very ablest men and those that the people desire. Would it not then be beat for MuBeogee to have a primary elec tion governed by the same rules as others, and especially enforcing that requiring the prior payment of poll taxes, end thus ascertain whom the people prefer ? This would be equivalent to an eleotion and ooma nearer affording satisfaotion than any other oourse. We will never submit again to a distriot convention where the city which polls three-fourths of the votes and pays seven-eights of the taxes aa is the case according to the present plan. Wa believe the primary nomination would have less objection than any method that oould be devised. If there is objection, we will give publication to short articles, both pro and eon. We still hold open our oolumnsto brief communications both for and against the Convention. We desire them oondenaed because long documents are not sought after or read by tha me (or* ity of subscribers. THE ABOLITION OF THE RATE • ENATE. Many writers on the Convention ques tion are unanimously in favor of abolish' tog the Btate Senate on the ground that it is a useless, expensive body, represent' ing no one and no principle. The districts are arranged neither according to taxable property nor population. In some dis tricts there is one Senator to every 10,000 inhabitants, and in others one to 48,000. Suoh unequal representation ia a nullity of the eardinal idea of republicanism The opponents of the Seuate ask why eannot there be a cheek in one body aa well as in two. This is the plan of Hon. Warren Aiken : “Abolish the 8enate and then divide the Btate into fifty legislative districts ac cording to population, and give to eaoh district two legislators. Let the districts be composed of contiguous oounties, each diatriot having the eame number of peo ple aa near aa praotioable. If one oounty has tha requisite population, make one oounty a district. If It requires two, three or live, have it arranged according ly. Lot the controlling idea bo to have the people equally repreeented in the Leg- ielatvre. By this plan there will be but one hundred legielatore. They will generally be elected from a larger territory and will be more efficient, and better men than we now have. The pay will not make the position very desirable, and men will be selected for thair worth and not for thair auctioneering capacity and thair power and willingness to distribute moan whis key. “Look at tha saving to tha people from thia plan. Wa bow have 218 memben in the Legislature. The plan proposed will out off 119 of thorn. These, at savan dot- lets a day, cost the people for every day the Legislature to in session $838, and for forty days the snm of $38,320. And then tha expanse of tha officeca of the Benato will be saved, whioh was lost year $11,625 70. It will also dispense with at toast two-thirds of the darks of the House.” Ha proposes to give “local legislation” to tha Superior Courts, and relieve tha Legislature of it altogether. He does not propose to disturb the oounties, but to let them remain as they are. The plan looks favorable. General Toombs and other strong minds are in favor of having no Senate in Georgia. Extba Szosion or CoNonxsa.—The time for tba assembling of the extra session of Congress to postponed to Ootober 15th. This will impose great hardfhips on many brave men, who have families to support. Owing to the knavery of the late Secre tary Robeson, the appropriation for the navy was exhausted by bad management, and the payment of funds to those not entitled thereto. Millions went to his pet contractors. Navd offloe re have already due them over $800,000. Then the De partment of Justioe showa a deftoienoy of half a million, caused by the employment of thousands of deputy marshals by Father Taft, whose only duty was to intimidate Democratic voters. Other reasons are given, but wa doubt whether the true motive will aver be made known from the White House. Hayes has ascertained that if ha adls Congress in Juoe a Demo cratic Speaker to oertain to bL elected, hence he delays, hoping to effect his end —oapture the House—elect a Republican Speaker—and say triumphantly to his party, “see what my policy has accom plished.” This ulterior aim is a mnoh better cause for the delay than those as signed in the telegrams. The whole ob ject Is to defeet Demooraoy in the House and win tha Speakership. He trusts by delay and continuing Democratic policy to divide tbs great Demooratio organi zation into cliques and factions that a Republican may slip into the coveted plaoe. Nzonoxs in Tan Ihsani Asn.ua. — A paragraph is going the rounds that insan ity, onoa unknown among the negroes, haa become a great and increasing sffeo- tion, and to relieve it, Virginia has estab lished an asylum for them—said to be the only one in the world—where more than 800 of them are oared for. The first portion of the statement is cor rect. Those raised In the 'South before and through the war, never saw a crazy negro. Now they are more common than whites. It is a mistake, however, that Virginia has the only asylum where they are received. Hundreds have been in mates of the Georgia Institution at Mill- edgeville for a number of years, sinoe the war and the number now, we think, to in the neighborhood of 200. Their numbers h%ve largely increased from nothing in 1865, to the present large proportion and the disease to still prevailing. Many of them are very and eases, bnt it is said moat era idiots or forms of mental abera tion caused by want, filth and self-abase ment. Impotent Misobixe.— The Now York Expreee speaks of an atrocious combina tion of avarioe, sectionalism and dema- goguism whioh is going on in tbat oity to lira the hearts of colored preachers in the South by sending among them inoendiary papers, filled to the muzzle with attaoka upon the Bouthem white people and upon the national peace policy of the President. A characteristic feature of thia combina tion is that what is done is done in the name of religion. It ia said there are five thousand oolored preachers at the Booth, and subscriptions are oalled for to send copies of the Witneee, owned and edited by unnaturalized oitizena, to this army of oolored preachers, the obvious purpose being to add fuel to the long existing po litioal race differences at the South. The purpose to a detestable one, and the mom ey getting part of it worthy the Freed- men’s Bureau end the oorrupt carpet baggers from whom both races at the South have suffered so terribly. PaooKXDiNos, looking to the recovery of $150,000,000, ore about to be institu ted in theoourte of Pennsylvania by the heirs of Ool. Henry Becker, who lived in Philadelphia m 1801. The property claimed consists of six or seven blocks of buildings on York sveuue ia that oity, and extends from Vine to Green streets. In addition to the large claim in Phila delphia there to a block of honsea on Third street in this oity. The heirs also lay claim to the entire town of Beoker- ville, Berks oounty, Pa., about forty miles from Philadelphia, and a consider able part of the country thereabouts The property claim in Philadelphia in. eludes three churches, a dozen large man- ufaotoriee, one of them an immense sugar refinery, and three blooks of dwell ings. Among these sre the residences of ex-Mayor Fox and ex-Oity Treasurer Pierson. HILL AND CHRISTIANCY. A LETTER FROM JUDGE CHRISTIANCY TO HON. B. H. HILL, CeasMssaiBf the Latter’s Letter wa the Duty wf Congreeeusoie With ■start te Applications far Tns remarks attributed to Governor Hendrieke by the reporter of a Ban Fran cisco journal have exeited aome comment in Washington. Although probably not accurately reported, they sre aooepted by some persons as an indication that a seri ous effort to soon to be made to assert Mr. Tilden’a title to the Presidential offloe by legislative and judioial proceed ings. That suoh proceedings have been carefully considered, discussed, and to aome extent arranged for, ia beyond doubt; but the impression obtains that a large number of Southern Demoorate will diaoonrage any effort of the kind, and that consequently nothing will come of the proposed line of action. I donbt very mnoh whether Gov. Hendricks would favor it, so says the correspondent of the Courier-Journal. A saute Ohroniole sad CoasUtstlonallst} Lamsino, Mich., April 24, 1877. Hon. Benjamin H. HiU: Mr Dzab Sib—I osnaot resist the im pulse I feel to thank you most oordtolly for your manly and patriotic letter to the Georgia Chronicle, whioh I have just reed. Though not the first time (for there have been many daring the last two or three months), it ia one of the dearest end most emphatio manifestations of the honest desire of prominent Bos them men to disregard mere party names and parti- sen objects for the permanent end com mon good of the whole country. I hail it as s most cheering evidenoe of s better state of feeling among Southern men; evidence that they appreciate the fair, liberal and non-partisan polioy of the new Administra tion, and tbat they will deserve the gens erous confidence it bw placed in them. It is also evidenoe of the wisdom of that policy towards the States and people of the Booth, whioh is daily end rapidly Commending itself, not only to the South ern, bat to the Northern people—the great mass of the Republicans, to say nothing of the Demooraoy—having fully determined to give it a fair trial, and most of them believing—as I have tong been Inclined to believe—tbat kindness and magnanimity towards the people of the South, snd a generous oonfldenos in their good faith and patriotism will do more to disarm opposition, to secure the faithful administration of the laws, and to proteot tha equal rights of oil, without distinction of race or color, than can ever be accomplished by foroe or threats of foroe. I have long been satisfied that all that is neoessary to bring about oomplete re conciliation and harmony between the people of the North and South to that the masses of both should fully understand and appreciate eaoh other's feelings and motives, making due allowance for the differences of education,habits and modes of thought, and peouliar institutions under whioh they have grown up, whioh time and friendly intercourse alone oan unify and assimilate, bqt whioh in the meantime, when properly appreciated, constitute no just or adequate cause for personal hostility or national discord. This oomplete reconciliation, this re storation of oonfidenea snd fraternal feel ing is the one thing essential, above all others, to the rwtorstion of national pros perity, and to a safe and benefioent Rea publican government. To bring about snoh a result should be the primary objoct of every patriot in both sections of the Union. Compared with thie all merely partisan interests and objects sink into suoh utter insignifleanoe that I long ago declared in the Senate that, upon the merits of any measure bearing upon the restoration of harmony and kindly relations between the North and Booth, I should disregard party ties and in terests ; and, if I understand yonr letter, you have oome substantially to the same conclusion. You call yourself a Demoorat, I oall myself a Republican; and there may be minor qnestione of differ ence between us,oovered (if not confused) by these rather abstract designations. Perhaps it might tax the intellect of either of ns to define, with tolerable aoouraoy, the various elements which go to consti tute the one or the other; and we might never be able to agree upon our definition. But in the great snd primary objeot whioh, judging from your letter, snd other utterauees of yours, you as well as I have st heart, sn object overshadowing all others, we entirely agree,not only with each other, but with the Administration now in power. Oan we not then, until thia great and paramount objeot is fully attained, snd the harmony and consequent prosperity of the country established on a firm basis, forego or adjourn the lass important question of what constitutes a Demoorat, and what a Repnblioan, with the minor questions growing out of these rather inetsphysioal entitles, and enter st onoe, in solemn earnestness, upon the only con test for whioh I have any present inclina tion—whioh of ns shall do most to scours the great objeot we both have st heart— the oomplete reconciliation of ail seotiona and all raoes of our common country. Tba time ia opportune ; the temper of the people in both sections to favorable, and we have an Administration ardently seeking the same re sult by means and measures we both approve. Let thg only contest be tween us then, be, whioh shall contribute most te the great result so essential to the prosperity and permanent welfare of the nation; which shall do most to hasten the time when the recent fratrioidal war, whioh shook the country to its founda tions, shall be remembered only to make us and our people the firmer and faster friends. When thia grand result shall be fully realized, if either or both of ns should happen to die before the minor question of what constitutes a Demoorat or a Republioanjahall be finally and defi nitely solved, perhaps the world might still move on, and posterity oontrive to exist, and to aome slight extent, even to prosper, though this party quest'*? should be left to be eolved by them, contempora neously with the production of perpetual motion and to the discovery of the North Pole. Your views upon the mode of exercis ing patronage, and the trae provisos and oourse of aotion of Senators in reference to appointments, are so exactly my own aa expressed in numerous letters to ap plicants for appointments, that your let ter and those I have written would seem upon comparison, to have been written by the same band. I am, with great esteem, your friend, I. P. Chbisttanct. Tux bast opinion in Washington to that the Russian fleet will remain quiet and safe in New York harbor. They sought it aa to understood as a harbor of refuge from tha float of Turkey, or tbat of England in oaaa the latter power should be drawn into tha oontest, and it to believed they will ha allowed to re- maia there, so long as they do not in- a baas of operations, in question before ha writes any more falsehoods. For tha information of the public I will quote the exact language of both Senators Gordon and Lamar in refer ence to the election of United Btatea Senator, as written in the letters referred to by the partiaan zealot, Mr- G. Under date of Jan. 16, Senator Gordon saps: “To be brief, let me say that if tnsur- mouotable difficulties present themselves, If yon have no special obligations upon you to support any one else for the Besets, I shall be glad to have you give your aid to the Hon. Wm. Walter Phelps." Again he slys in. reference to the same subject: “These reflections are suggested, not so much by my own high regard for Mr. Phelpha' character as by tha extremely uncertain condition of yonr political af fairs in New Jersey.” Senator L. Q. O. Lamar, in kis communication of Jan. 15, acid: “In case it proves impossible to eleot a Demoorat, and a compromise on a Republican beoomes necessary, it would be well for you to know in what estima tion the Hon. Wm. Walter Phelps was held by Demoorate ia Congress.” Now, it the strictest partisan Democrat oan find anything in these utteranoea for whioh to condemn the honorable gentle men whom Mr. 0. characterizes as having reoeived “merited denunciation” from prominent Demoorate to whom the letters were shown, then I am proud to be a sharer with them in receiving such de nunciation, foe I thoroughly endorse every official act ef both the Senators referred to, as wall as every sentiment in their letters written to me, snd about whioh Mr. 0. finds so mnoh to complain. As regards the eleotion of the United States Senator referred to, I went into canons and joint meeting determined to eleot John R. MoPherson despite of all opposition, and tha people of New Jersey are rejoiced at the result of that determi nation. Alsx. W. Habbis. Jersey Oity, April 28. area Does net _ the World la at Washington,May 3.—President Hayes, in conversation yesterday with Dr. Lor- ing, a member elect of the House of Rep resentatives, discussed his Southern pol ioy with great freedom and oandor.
