AND MORE THAN TWICE THE LARGEST AGGREGATE CIRCULATION! Qeniiul Ed. Burleson, of San Mar- ooa, Texas, died at Austin on the 11th in- atant. ^ Tu San Antonia (Texas) Express notes the Hie of 10,000 pounds of wool at 25 cents par pound. Sherman taxors making Washington a permanent military post, with a garrison of six or seven hundred men. Arran all, the Turks do not saem to be entirely degenerate. They have just shot a oommissiary for adulterating the army floor. Dean Stanley, of Westminster Abbey, is, with a great many other English olergy- mon, in favor of opening the London piotnro galleries and mnseums on Sun day. Capt. Eads has seonred twonty-two feet of water in the South Pass, and Uni ted States Engineers are mad enough to bnst. They said be oonldn’t, and they didn't want him to. FRANCE IN A CRITICAI. STATE. Louis Napoleon onee said Franoe was the only country on the globe whiob wonld fight for an idea. He tried one of his suggestions, whioh was to whip Ger many. The people nrgad him forward, and Bismarek, Molke and the Emperor tolled hits on the way to shame, defeat and de thronement. The apeotaoled Germans gave the eager, boastful Frenehmen the worst thrashing they ever had, and while the enemy was thundering at the gates of Paris the oooupants of the city were fight ing among themalvea abont a politi cal idea. The Gallio race is never heppy exoept when engaged in revolu tion. Jost now the mania is for Repub licanism, abont whioh they know as little as a frog does of Geology. Their debatee are tumnlta. Their President has virtually the power of an emperor. He seemed to doairo more anthority, and the entire ministry resigned, just whet the Presi dent desired. His note to M. Simon was brntally insolent. The Aseembly has pledged itself to Republican principles (Frenoh standard), and declar ed no ministry not in aooord will bo supported. This they oall a coup d'etat. MaoMahon is forming a Cab inet of his own and if the Chamber doea not like it, bo will first prorogue and then dissolve that body. Great trouble is foared, and turbulent apirits may exeite a revolntion whioh will be elysiom to the exoiteable nation, and prodnoe a change of rnlere and form of Government. Wono Chin Foo thinks It funny that we aoud missionaries over to them when there are ten murders among onr 40,000,000 popnlation to one among their 450,000,- 000 people. It will do to ponder over. Odd FiLLowBuir was established in Amerioa fifty-eight years ago. It is as- aarted that daring this time 720,000 brother! have been aided by the order ; #22,000,000 have been expondod for that pnrpose. The entire oolleotions for all purpose! amount to #00,000,000. Austin (Texas) Statesman: Fifty wheat prodnoing oonnties in Texas, with ono- fifth of their area planted in wheat, will make, at fifteen bushels to the acre, 80,- 000,000 buahela of grain. Texas flour is attraotiug much attention in South Amer ioa, and direot shipments are to be in creased. At the apeoial election Monday for two members of the House of Representatives of Booth Carolina, the Deiuoorutio nomi nees were suooesBfnl. Messrs. Gaillnrd and Brioe being eleoted by a majority in Fairfield eonnty estimated at from 1,200 to 4,500. Profound quiet and good fool ing prevailed. i. E. Bryant and Juok Brown, both of Georgia, bad a difficulty in the Treasury Department in Washington on Mondny. Brown got in two severo blows on Bry ant's faoe, when both proceeded to draw weapons, but were separated bofuro fur ther damage was done. Both of thoBe parties are trying to control Federal ap pointments in Georgia. The KnHslan Minister, Mr. Shiskia, in answer to an inquiry from Senator Gor don npon the eubjeot of rooeiving foreign surgeons into its aorviae, states that tbo Russian Government admita into Hu ser vice ouly such surgeons as are graduates of Russian universities, or have oonolu- dod their studios in the Government med ical inatitutlons established for the educa tion of aurgooua. Austin Statesman: Texas Iibh one hundred and twonty ootton prodnoing oouutiea whioh, averaging 900 square miles or 500,000 sores oaoh, give a total ootton-producing oountry of 09,120,000 acres. But ono flftb of this amount is planted in ootton, aud 250 pounds of lint ootton per aore will make 0,902,000 halos of ootton—more than the entire produo- tion of ootton of tho world. Detroit Free 1 Vest : Senator Gordon indignantly denies the report that ho is to go into Hayes' Cabinet, either as Secreta ry of War or anything olso. The report had it that Devcns was to he seDt as Min- ister to Turkey; that McCrary was to he transferred to the Department of Justioo, and that Gordon was to suooood MoOrary. The Senator's deuial was lmrdly neoessary. No one of sense believed the report. Courier-Journal: Tho coolness of tho crooked-whiskey men iR astonndod. Bobb Hesiug, of Chicago, wants to be relieved of a #218,000 prosecution by tbo pay rneut of #100; D. G. Hush says he will pay the Uovornment #500 to get rid of a Buit for #114,1X10; Simon Powell thinks #100 ought to clear him of a payment of $90,000, aud so on. The Treasury offi oials decline to let them off. The Sentinel, which iB good anthority on the subject, says that ei-Sonator Car penter has formed a law partnership with the Hod. Jsh. A. Coleman, recently of Fond du Lao, aud that the two have open ed an offloe in Washington. Mr. Coleman iB in this city superintending the removal of Mr. Carpenter s law library, and wo may now bid adieu lo Mr. Carpenter as a citizen of Wisconsin. His family has been in Washington for nearly a year, aud with all his interest aud business centering in the latter city, his name will henooforth be dropped from onr directory, and we shall never look upon his like again. The Chattanooga Times says : “It has beeu suggested that Gov. J. D. Porter, Gov. A. H. Colquitt, Gen. N. B. Forr 'si, Gen. B. F. Cheatham, Gen. W. B. Bate, Gen. G. G. Dibrell, Gon. John B. Gor don, and others ho invited to ho present at the decoration of the graves of tho Federal soldiers in the National Cemetery at Chattanooga, on the 30th instant. It haB also beeu suggested that, as tho Fed eral soldiers in their uniform aud under the United States flag, marohed with arms reversed whilst going into the Confede rate Cemetery to the musio of a band of the Uuited States playing a fuueral dirge, that those late soldiers of the Confede rate army on the 30th instant, under com mand of some one who was a general officer in the Confederate army, wear snob parts of uniforms sb formerly nsed by them in the Confederate army, and with aide arms reversed, march in like manner into the National Cemetery.'' ENGLAND TO OCCUPY CUTE. The English fleet in the Mediterranean haa been ordered to Crete. The Czar Nicholas, in 1858, in conversing upon the partition of the Ottoman Empire with the English Embassador, suggested that Great Britain take Crete and Egypt for her abaro, and it oertaiuly looks now that if England ia offered the least chance she will avail herself of tho opportunity. Orote is an admirable position for an im mense nsval power, like Great Britain, to oommand tho Mediterranean. Its bay of Huda, considered one of the safest of ports, will aeoommodate the largest of floats, while it onu be so fortified as to become impregnable. Under English rule Orote wonld be regenerated, while Great Britain would obtain the beBt point in tho Moditorrauean with whioh to de fend the Suez Canal or Egypt, whioh will undoubtedly become a British provinoe, Any of those Eastern oonntries are truly blest that come under English rule. It is a heaven on earth ooinpared to the most benofioiont olimes under Turkish or Rus sian rtilo. Upon tho maps most generally tho island of Crete is put down nuder tbo name of Oaudia. It forms the southern limit of the Grooian Arohipelago. Its avorago broadth is twonty miles, longth 100, aud population iu 1871, 270,000, of whom 200,000 wore Christians (Greek Churob,) 00,000 Mohammedans, 2,000 Jews, and the rest foreigners. It haB often rebelled, but is dow subjoot to Tur- key. Euglaud ought to have it as it ia on the direot road to the Suez otDal. CONVENTION. TOG ANiES- they’ve; hot min. - The soa serpent, fabled iu song and story, has boon captured. Suooess has orowned the eanny Sootoh, and to them tho wreath of victory belongs. They are greatly given to hnrd statement aud have no imagination. They will toll you the truth if thoy are compelled to mauufao- turo it. Comiug from auy other raos the ooourronoe might be couaidered doubtful, but the "Wba boo wi Wallace bled" have brought (ho voritabto “vnrinit" whioh lcgond has celebrated, aud many a Jack tar sworn to out of the briny deep. It remains for tho land of the Kirk and tho doatrino, of sound logio and iudubitablo critioism to land on earth the most fa mous of monBters, aud Hootia sends forth a yell of victory whioh resounds through the spheres. Wo like to bo exaot. It was at 4 o'clock iu the afternoon iu trout of tho Caledo nian Hotel, at Oban, Hootlnnd. The Glas gow Fie it's tells the Btory. Date April 7tb. Looking over the bright bay at the time mentioned tho pooplo saw a man or animal having his fun near Heathen Island. Appropriate name by the way for tho oaoasiou. Further discovery showod that it was the voritable serpent. It carried its head twentysfive feet out of wntar. Tho Glasgow Xeirs vouches for this and wo know it is so because the editor aaye it. A number of boats wove launobed and they went for that Hardiuo. Now Malcolm Nicholson was a boatman of high degree, and the correspondent went iu bis craft. Thu boats got round him and drove tho animal (is a Bnake an animal ?) to tho shore, aud then all tho peoplo oomiuenoed shooting at him. One boat grazed tho creature's aide, aud the two men iu it sought tho water quiokor than if kicked into it by a mule. They wero picked up unhurt. At last ono dar ing Obetnian with more nerve than tbo rest, hit that long oared bruto nud bo wont aaboro. Tbo guests at tbo hotel had a free exhibition from the hotel windows. Those who had not settled their bills must have enjoyed it hugely. They liRd a flue view aud did not have to pay a cent, aud doubtless felt confident that the coat of tho show would uot bo added by tho pro prietor. Well about 10 at night it was dragged on shore by means of ropes end seventy moo. The Glasgow Fines man says: The ex treme length is 101 feet, and the tbiekest part is about 25 feet from tho head, whioh is 11 feet in circumference. At this part is fixed a pair of fins, whioh are 4 feet long by nearly 7 feet across at the sides. Further back is a long dorsal fin, extend ing for at least 12 or 13 feet, and 5 feet high in 1 rout, tapering to 1 foot. The tail is more of a llaltened termination to the body proper than anything else. The eyes are very small in proportion an 1 olougated, aud gilla of the length of 21 foot behind. There are no external ears; aud, as Dr. Campbell did not wish the animal handled till hecommunioated with some eminent seieutifio gentlemen, we could uot ascertain if there were teeth or not. Groat exoitement is oreated, and the couutry pooplo are Docking iu to view it. This morning, Mr. Dnnoan Clark, writer, formally took possession of the monster, in the rights of Mr. Mol-'ee, of Appin, aud Mr. James Kichol, writer, in tbo name of the Crown." Now, if the serpent is not oaptured this time, we oan exclaim, “Lord 1 Lord! how the world is given to lying!” PLENTY or PATRIOTS TO SAOBITICE THEM SELVES AS DELEOATSS ON THE ALTAR OP PATRIOTISM—LET ALL SPEAK THEIR SEN TIMENTS. Messrs. Editors:—The newspapers of Georgia are teeming with many patriot ic (?) effusions in regard to the Constitu tional Convention. We have come to the oonolnaion that there are a great many good and naefal men among us. We ouoe thought that the people wanted no Convention, beeanae there seemed to be so few who oould leave home to represent their friends in that body. But in reading the various ar ticles whioh are beautifying, enriching, and decorating the columns of our State press, in conversing with gentlemen of every profession and persuasion, we very honestly believe that we oan find men who are now ready to aaorifioe domestio comforts, leave their wives and ohildren for the general good of the people. We ebould congratulate ourselves that patriotism is not entirely dead; that a voioe from its sepulohral abode is beard ; that something ought, should, and must be dona for the people, When we re trospect the past, contemplate the pres ent, and proapeot the future, we, indeed, concatenate the links of a very important chain, whioh will forever bind in perfect harmony every oonflioting interest, if delegates to that Convention wonld divest themselves of self, and work for the gen eral interest of the people. We are proud to kuow that there are so many now who are willing to leave home—sweet home— to immolate tbemselvos upon the Consti tutional Altar of Georgia. While we write, that glorious feeling of onr fore fathers permeates every vein, bone and musola of our ooporeal frame. We feel as we pen these lines that we oould do something for the people in the Convention, if they wonld only send ns there. Rut in looking around and sur veying tho chess board, we see no earthly obanoo for ns to go, unless as a private gentlemen upon the money of a very pri vate and depleted pooket. We now sur render oar alaims, and would ask our worthy Exeoutive to set apart a thanks giving day, when every man, woman and ohild may shout “g-l-o-r y ! h-a-l-l-e-l u- j-a-h! forever and ever 1 We have tho men who will leave home to represent their constituency in the Convention.” In retiring from the oontest we tender our warmest and most hoartfolt thanks to those friends who did solioit us to run for tho Convention, and ainoorely hope that some of them may he elevatod and pro moted instead of your humble oorrenpon- dout, as they seem to be ostering to the wants of their friends, and indeed deaire to go as delegates to the Convention and more anxious than your patriotic friend. Every man who did ask ua to run iB now a candidate himself 1 All wo have to sny on this subject is that a gentleman oan be sold out whenever it is neoessary to ad vance the interest of some particular clique. With deep eorrow, we confess our disappointment; but we are ready and willing to vote for some of those who have deprived ue of our imaginary and oonventional laurels upon the follow ing ; Let every candidate state over hie own signature what Reform, what Retrench ment, what Change, what kind of a Con stitution he is willing to give the people. Come oat and let tho people know. There is no harm in thin' The people onght, and they will know ! The homestead question seems to per plex some. Come out on this, and let the poople know whether you are in favor of the prosont homeBtead with such amend ments as to make sale of the same, and re invest ; or whether or not you favor a re duction of the same, and how much, or obliterate it entirely from the constitu tion, What are your platforms on the above ? The appointing power of the Executive ie another very important question to be considered. What do yon have to sny on this, you candidates of Mnaoogee, Chatta hoochee and Marion ? Do you deaire the Exeoutive to appoint men to offloe, or nre yon willing for tho people to oleot them ? What reduction of salaries do you pro pose, from tho Governor’s down to the loweBt ? What do you propose to do in tho Convention in tho way of retrench ment ? What about tho Bullook bonds ? Come out and let us nil kuow. We have propounded but a few questions. There are others whioh have beeu discussed. You should have your platforms. Then tbo record will show whether or not yon have carried out the views of your friends. The people, some of them, are bewil dered. They think there is a “oat iu the meal tub.” Give them light so that the voters oan he guided to the ballot box, and know what they are voting for. We are sorry to see a disposition to oast stones. Those who livo in glass housos should never do this. “Old documents are dan gerous things.” It ia rather dangerous to throw them now. Before we caBt pebbles at our neigh bors' houses we should examino onr own f ortificatioua, lest the stonea may rebound with damage and demolition to onr own habitations. Voter. MMlOUtGGI OF THEIIA. A noteworthy addition to the litoratore of the long conflict between the rival claimants for the discovery jof amethesia haa been contributed by Dr. J. Marion Sima. It is an attempt to pnt the facts in obronoligioal order. Dra. Wells, Mor ton and Jaokson are the three whose names have in popular fame been most oloaely associated with the discovery. To these Dr. Crawford W. Long, of Georgia, should be added, and, Dt. Sima thinka, should be aooorded the priority. The ob stacle to a quick acquisition of this title to fame, whioh stood in the way of Dr. Long, is thus quaintly stated; “He was waiting to teat his great diaeovery in some capital operation. He lived in an ob scure little town where there were no railroads and no ponderona machinery to maim bis fellow men, and the ampu tation of a lag or arm was an era in the life of e country doctor. While he was still waiting for larger operations, before communioating his disoovery tc some scientific journal, the labors of Wells and Morton and Jaokson and Simp son burst upon the world." Dr. Long’s first UBe of either as an amosthetio in a surgical operation ia determined as in 1842. The rival discoverers were in gen eral unfortunate; Wells committed sui cide while insane; Morton died of conges tion of the brain; Jaokaon ie hopelessly insane, and confined in an asylnm; Dr. Long is old, poor, and burdened with a family. These are the Ameriean disoov- eoverera—Dr. Sims urges that to them or their survivors a pecuniary recognition is fairly due. Sir JameB Y. Simpson receiv ed high honor from the British Govern ment for the dUeovery of the anmsthetio use of eloroform, and the servioe he had performed for humanity was thus fairly recognized. Dr. Sims thinks that the sum of $100,000 ought to be appropriat ed by Congress, and divided betweon the families of Drs. Long, Wells, Morton and Jaokson. The old Harrington safe-burglary con spiracy bids fair to be brought into the courts again, notwithstanding the aoquit- tal of Baboook, one of the leading con spirators. Thomoa F. Hommerville, who was tried for complicity in the plot with Baboook end also acquitted, has written a letter to the United Htatea Distriot Attor ney at Washington, giving full details of the affair and showing up all the guilty men. If Harrington is ever tried, the Hommerville statement will be given to tho publio. The Washington correspond ent of the Cincinnati Gazette says of thi 8 new development ; "The reported oonfession of Hommer ville, one of the prinoipal aotors in the Washington safe-burglary, has caused great commotion here. It has also just boon discovered by the ring thut one of the parties to the disreputable attempts to prevent the arrests of Nettieship by some of the ontsiders and the Government of ficials at Newark, N. J., and the final ar rangement for his discharge on inadequate bail, has made a full statement as to the parties implicated, and the part each played at this part of the matter to an offloer of the Government oharged with investigating the matter. Up to this time the foot that suoh a statement was made has been a secret. It involved the name of a U. H. Attorney and his assistant and D. H. Commissioner Whitehead. Mr. Wells, the Distriot Attorney here, will now probably be obliged to prooeed with tho trial of HarringtoD, which ho has had on his docket for a long timo, and if he can be compelled to do this, it is now likely that tho whole history of the in famous couspiAoy may be brought out. United Htates Distriot Attorney Keasbery, of Newark, arrived here yesterday, and his presence is attributed to new develop ments in this case." Mr. Boxer's Opinion op It.—George H. Boker, United States Misister to Russia, says iu an interview ; Germany to-day is one vast camp. Hhe is stronger than ever before, and better fitted for war. But this has been accom plished at a eost of proserity. The army baa, therefore, an object, and that object ia to so thoroughly crush Franoe that all idea of revenge by “Le Grand Nation,” will be thoroughly out of the question for a generation or two. Germany oould not carry ont this plan had Russia been at peaoe, for the Emperor Alexander, when the subject was broached to him, would not hear to it; and it is a fact that bnt for his firmness and deoisiou the Germans would have deolared war long ago. Henoe, in order effectually to dispose of Russia, Germauy was obliged to wait until thnt power booame involved with Turkey, and to this effoot the German ambassador spared no pains by urging upon iho Rus sians the fact that Germany would not in terfere with any programme the Czar would undertake to carry out. Women in FnMte once. Gov. Robinson, of New York, in a re- oent veto message to the Benate, says : I return without approval Benate bill No. 6!, entitled “An Aet to authorize the e'.eotion of women to school offloes.” This bill goes too far, or else not far enough. It provides that women may hold any or ail of the offices connected with the Department of Education—that is to say, a woman may be eleoted Super- intendent of Publio Instruction, may be appointed Sohool Commissioners, mem bers of boards of education and trustees of sohool districts. In some of these positions it will become their duty to make contracts, pnrohase materials, build and repair school-houses, and to supervise and effeot all the transac tions of sohool business, involving an annual expenditure of over $12,000,000 in this State. There oan be no greater reason that women shonld oc cupy these positions than the leas respon - sible ones of Supervisors, Town Clerks, JustieeB of the Peace, commissioners of highways, overseers of the poor, and nu merous others. If women are physically and mentally fitted for one class of these stations, they are equally so for tho oth ers. But at this period in the history of the world suoh enactments as the present hardly ooroport with the wisdom and dig nity of legislation. The God of Nature i has appointed different fields of labor, duty and usefulness for the sexes. Hia deorees cannot be changed by human leg islation. In the edneation of onr children the mother stands far above all superin tendents, commissioners, trostees and sohool teaobers. Her influenoe in the family, in sooial intercourse and enter prises ontweighs all the mere machinery of benevolenoe and edneation. To lower her from the high and holy place given her of nature is to degrade her power and to injure rather than benefit the oause of edneation itself. Iu all enlightened and Christian nations the experience and ob servation of ages have illustrated and de fined the relative duties of the sexes in romoting the beat interests of sooiety. 'ew, if any, of the intelligent and right- minded among women deaire or would be willing to aoeept tho change whioh suoh a law would inaugurate. The bill is, moreover, a dear infraction of tho spirit if not the letter of the Con stitution. Under that instrument women have no right to vote, and it cannot be supposed that it is tho intention of the Constitution that persons not entitled to the right of suffrage should be eligible to some of the most important offloes in the Btate. tiie reported grand raid on HI3UCO A HUGH CANARD. LERDO REPUDIATES THE WHOLE AFFAIR. Special to the Plcuyune.] Washington, May 15.—The Munchau sen stories of a grand filibustering raid on Mexico, with the United StateB Gox- ornment for a silent partner, which haxe been telegraphed by a class of Washing ton correspondents regardless of expanse, are all repudiated by nearly everybody whose name has been mixed np with these inventions. The unkindliest kick of all oonres from ex-Fresident Lerdo de Tejada, in whose behalf the mythical ex pedition was alleged to be aet on foot. He says he knows nothing abont it; re gards the entire story bs a fabrieation, and declares that ho would not counten ance any movement of the bind. There is, however, good reason to be lieve that tho Government is contemplat ing a more stringont polioy in regard to the border raids, and are ready to resist the qhanoes of Mexico taking offense at the raiderB being pursued across the Rio Grande.

In order to effeot the complote expulsion of this dangerous reTuso, the organs through which it passes off must be active and unobstructed.

WILKINS, myl3 d&wtd Chairman The Cincinnati papers of Saturday pub lish a letter from Postmaster General Key, iu whioh he expresses regret at his inability to attend the Decoration Day oeremoniea, near thatoity, and says: “1 rejoice to henr yon say that the soldiers that are buried in your beautiful city of the dead, whether they wore the blue or the gray, will be respeoted alike. He who dies for a oause which he believes is just may have done wrong in engaging in the strife, but he committed no siu. Ue may have died a Christian aud an honest man. The fact that the Southern soldier staked bis life on his oause manifested his sincerity. Say, if you please, that he was mistaken, and he did a groat wrong, bnt Any at the snue time that ho was bon- est and brave. On the grave of such a one tears may fall from kindly eyes, and flowers be strewn by lovely hands without reproach." As tbe perfeotion of entirety depends upon tbe perfeotion of miuutie, so no one can hope for robust health of the entire system if the blood Bhonld beoome in the least impure. Its standard of purity is best maintained by the use of Dr. Boll's Blood Mixture. Rev. Thomas Harrison is the revivalist of most note at present. His success in converting sinners is said to be some thing marvelous. Borne of the “hardest cases” have beeu melted by him and pluoked like brands from the burning He is only 24 years of ago and of a frail constitution. His nervous energy is irn mense. Since his 17th year he has been an exhorter. He is a Methodist. During the past four months 1,400 persons have been turned to graee from sinfulness, and 1,100 of these resided in the city of Bal tirnoro. What a Run t'an Stand. St. Louis Journal.] An aeoident recently ooonrred in Hun terdon eounty, a railroad employee being thrown from a train by a sudden jerk with great force, his right shoulder stik- ing tho iron rail, his body aud limbs part ly on the same, and between tho wheel, one car passing over the unfortunate rnau's body, the next ear resting npon his cheat and stomaoh. Under this tremen dous weight (six tons) he suffered several minutes, uutil hia fellow workmon, with a united foree, lifted the oar from his body. His faoe, when tbs oar was re moved, was perfectly black and his vision entirely gone. Hia injuries were sup posed to be fatal, consisting of a fracture of the thigh bone, a dislocation of the same at the hip joint, making the litub, by measurement, one and a half inches longer than the other ; also, a fraoture of tho collar-bone in two different places, tbe ribs where the wheels rested upon the breast broken, five in namber, and press ing upon the heart and lungs ; a flesh wound several inches deep in the right thigh, and the eyes partly protruding from their eookete. Tbe dootor immedi ately set the fraotnred bones, and, wiih tho as&i&tanoe of thoae present, suooeeded, after several persevering efforts, in pat ting the bone to its plaoe by rotation (which is said to be one of the most diffi cult operations in surgery, and probably one of the very few kind ever performed in the Btate before.) The remarkable part ia that the patient ia improving and will probably get out again. WOOL! ¥001!! WuOD!! ADDRESS ORDERS FOR DRY PINE WOOD —TO- BANKS,CALDWELL & CO Hurtvllle, M. & G. R.
