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.

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.

- 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.

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.

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.
