Tut Cincinnati /inquirer thinks that 20,000 will probably cover tbe Demo cratic majority in Ohio at tbe next elec tion. Toe New Y’ork Herald thinks Attor ney General Devena ia the weak spot in tbe Cabinet, and enconrages him to re- aign. New Oei.eihs has a grain elevator on tbe levee, which last year received 3,739,. G42 bushels of corn, of which 2,091,399 bushels were shipped mostly to Europe. Tbe Chicago Inter-fjrean baa employed Mr. Jesse K. Grant as its special corres pondent in Europe. He will aocompany bis father on the grand tour ho is about to make. Col. IJenbv McIvkb, of Cheraw, was unanimously nominated for the position of Associate Justice of the HupremeCourt by the Democratic caucus of South Caro lina Legislature. A pew weeks ago Packard reasoned that if Hayes was elcoted President he was elected Governor. Now he roasons that if he waa not elected Governor, Hayes was not elected President. The Democrats of Ohio are uncommon ly aancy in their confidence of carrying the State at the next eleotion. The Cin cinnati Enquirer aaya : “ The true, old- time Uepubhoans feel that they have been betrayed.” Hon. tiuon McCulloch, ex-Hecretary of the Treasury, says that in no branch of industry are the people of tbe United Slates behind those of Europe except in farming. That ia a serious lack, alnoe farming is tbe trne basis of all material prosperity. Cbbsteb has elected Gon. W. A. Walker State Senator by probably one thousand majority. The days of the thieves and tbe carpet bagger, in this county, are numbered. Much praiso is due Judge Mackey for bis notion in the canvass, and for tbe earnest efforts to promote good government. TDK IOLLT OP THE NEW FAKTY Thanks to the party which made tbe negro a voter, tbe political power of tbe Sooth baa been advanced a: least three- eighths. In tbe next electoral college the Month will poll 138 solid Democratic votes. There will not be a Heturnmg Board Ibroogbout tbe land to contravene the will of tbe people. Only New York (33 votes; and Indiana (16 votes; are needed to elect a President in 1880. In those two States the Democrats can con solidate all their money. These won and with the solid Booth besides, we will have 188 votes and that is more than is requir ed to elect. Tbe Republicans can have every other State. Of course tbe fight wjfl be bitter elsewhere to prevent any Re publican concentration, and tbe Demo crats will win, we believe yet,more North ern States than tbe Republicans, but we are showing tbe Democrats can win by gaining only two of them. The Demo crats will keep control of tbe House, and before their President is installed they will have tbe Senate by a good majority and hence they will hold every branch of tbe Government. There is only three years to wait Ia it not then tbe essence for Hayes, an interloper and notorious fraud to expect to divide the South and that grand party. An army does not diaband when it has only to march smoothly and safely to tbo most magnificent of victo ries. Tbcjdesth knell of Republicanism la aonnded, and a restored Union is near at band. With tbe triumph of Democracy, which is so certain, tbe party that stood from tbe beginning of the Government, ono can truly feel he is an American, and not debarred from office became be wore tbe gray, and bad the manhood to be proud of it, and refused to foreswear him self for a pitiful salary. The South need not go North for a President in 1880 unless she chooses. Mias Anns Dickinson was sned Mondsy by Joshus Hart, of tbe Eaglo Theatre, New York, for damages Accruing from her abrupt withdrawal front her engage ment at that bonso n week or two ago. Damages olslmod, l|2,000. Miss Dickin son claims that Hart broke his contract and insulted her. Geoboe W. liaoui, the Virginia humor ist, alias Mosiz Addums, who has been delivering a lecture on Houthern Pools to tbe South Carolina editors, holds that the supremo Buutliern political fool is the one who placet faith in the Dolly Varden par ty, beaded by the Fraudulent President. The Foundry Ohurob, which Mr. Ilayes attends, is supported by subscriptions and has free pews. He wroto to the Board of Trustees Saturday to put him down for an amount equal to that Amount paid by the largest patron ; $600 will be the do faoto's gospel bill, therefore. Two Mexicans murdered a man at Bau- ta Cruz to obtain mom y to go to a circus with. They got $8 from his body, wont and enjoyed the performance, and subse quently were lyuBbcd. Tbe Saoraiuouto Union confesses itself unable to see how such wretches could have been more satis factorily disposed of. A special of the ICth to the Charleston Journal oj Commerce says : “The aotivo fight over the Colleotorship in the Seooud District of Georgia is about settled. Cinik will be allowed to make a new bond, niul retain the oflloe, notwithstanding the hard fight that has boon made against him by the so-called native Republicans. On the night of the 4th lust, a crowd of armed and disguised men went to the jail in Groesheck, Texas, took the keys from the jailer, entered, shot two negro prisoners dead, and wouudod two others. One oolored boy, who was oontlned on a charge of obstructing a railroad track, bas disappeared, and no trace cau bo fonnd of biui. P. T. IIai.mm will, it is reported, make a personal offer of $10,000 for the recov ery of tbe lost Charlie Ross. In this con nection n Ilridge|iort, Conn., despatch adds: “It is believed from recent evi dence that ho ia still alivo, and that the reward, with a guarantee of immunity from pnniBhment, will indnoe the cap- furors to restore him.” In an interview recently held with Chsrloe Frauds Adams, that gentleman repeated his views with regard to Mr. Tilden's right to the Presidency and the lasting stigma which must attend Mr. Ilayes. He adheres to the sentiments ex pressed in his letter to Mr. Tilden and aays he sanctioned the pnblioity which waa given to it. SILVER BILLS AND ■IIEBMAN’M POLICY. Bills have been introduced in tbe Leg islatures of Ohio, Illinois and Missouri which authorize tbe use of smalt silver coins as s legal tender in payment of all private debts, notwithstanding the na tional law restricting their use to pay ments not exceeding five dollars. Tbe Illinois Senate and the Ohio House pass ed those bills. Possibly they may not be perfected the present year, hut they inev itably show tbo drift of Western sentiment in favor of tbe remonetization of the ail vor dollar. Men of all parties and finan cial convictions in the West and North cat are more nearly unanimous in their approval of that moasure than they have heretofore been in support of any nation al proposition. Huoh expressions are important at this time when Secretary Sherman is laboring to seoure a contraction of the ourrenoy, and under a straining of tbe statutes is holding baok sevoral millions for the os tensible purpose of redeemiug fractional ourrenoy, which, to the amount ho has gathered In the Treasury, his own offl core admit is lost and never will be offer ed for redemption. Tbo idoa with many North ern financiers, of wbieh Sherman is an exponont, who have gathered the millions already, is whon the country is impover ihheil and Undo languishes, is to lessen tbo volumo of enrronoy so os to make their boardH more valuablo. As a conse quence, uiouey is held at a ruinous rate for those who wonld oniploy it in busi ness and giving oooupatiun to others. This policy of Sherman m is doubtless one of the reasons which inlluoucod the Cabinet to postpone the eession of Con- gross from oarly June to middlo Octo ber. They want to give his peculiar the ories a fairlrial. The niaiu object of tbia postponement, however, was tbs hope llayea has of being able to purobaso a Republican Speaker of the House, and the fear that Congross might inquire by what authority Mr. Hayes holds the ufiioo of President. Countt ConvkntionT’o dat.—The peo. plo of the county moet at 11 a. m. to-day in the court house to determine whether they shall uoiuiuatu delegates to the Con stitutional Convention, and ia what man ner. We cannot too earnestly impress the necessity of a nomination of Mnsoo. geo's three representatives by a primary election,held in the same manner as mem bers of the Legislature aro chosen, with polls open at every beat, managers and even ohallengers, if desired. Chattahoochoe oouuty has determined to oloot her ono delegate this way, so have Bilil) and Fulton. Harris has alrea dy done bo. Nothing can bo fairer. Have managers of character. Every as pirant then must feel satisfied with the verdict of the people and can offer no ex - ruse for bolting the nomination. Oppo sition will be killed off and the integrity and nuian of Iho party preserved. Wo eon have a nomination in no otter wny which will give satisfaction. If wo have uo nomination and resolve on a seruli race, wo fear we cannot Beoure our host and ablest men. There will bo n hauling and pulling and bribery, and the Democrats may be *o divided that oue or more Radicals might run in. The primary election alone will pro- dneo harmony and silence apprehonsiou. Any other plan will produce bolting. It will be equivalent to au eleotion, and on the day for voting for tho Convention, all can take it quietly. Let ns bavo tho nomination by primary election. MACON AND BKCNNWICK RAIL MAD, MAJOB B. A. BACON TON SUEZBINTENDENT. It has been copied in these columns that Captain John A. Grant, the present active and efficient Superintendent of tbe Macon and Brunswick road will soon resign that position. Probably ha has done so al ready. Tbe Cemmiasioeers have the pow er to fill the vacancy. The riad is in the possession of the State of Georgia. One fact is self evident, and that is if a Geor gian can be fonnd thoroughly competent for tbe position be certianly should re ceive tbe sppofetment in preference to citizens of any other State. This ia reasonable, jost and proper. Among tbe different names that have flashed across our minds as eminently suited to tbe office is Major R. A. Baoon, who was born and reared in Coiumbus and (till claims this city as his heme, and has the admiration and warmest wishes for suc cess of all in this section. Certainly his appointment wonld reciave the cordial en dorsement of tbia entire section. Major Bacon ia a gentleman of standing and in fluence through family connections and native talent ; with a quick comprehen sive mind, improved by e literary educa tion and a long period of vigi lant exercise among the sharpest of peo ple. In railroading bis acquire ments are of a practical character. For many yean he baa bad the training of masters of railroad scienoe, and himself held places in which bis attainments have been demonstrated by success. He is now the General Agent of tbe Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad. For several yean he was agent of the Western Rail road at Columbus, and subsequently su perintendent of roads in Kentncky and Virginia. He was general freight agent of tbe Western end Atlantic Road just after the war, bat was discharged by tbe Bullook authorities for tbe sole reason that be was a Democrat. His abilities have been appreciated by the fact that through tbe various consolidations and changes in Southern roads iu the last few years, he bas ever retained a prominent situation on leading lines. He is a gentleman of truest courtesy, toot and nerve, with all the pushing activities, and above all, is controlled by a cool, keen intelligence Wo know of nono more fitted for the po aition, for in bis profession he bns few equals and no superiors. His appoint meat will afford much satisfaction to our section of the State. CHATTAHOOCHEE COUNTY. JUDGE B. C. PATTEBSON FOB CONVENTION— CBOPS. mu rmoM wamhndton. gzom Tbat is bt united states maeshals IN THE SOUTH—BOW JUDGE KET'S TEX- PENANCE CBUBADX DOXT WOE*. OirmpbaWv BirtLiJ TiaM*.] Washington, May 10.—Hie Attorney General has recently been informed by an agent that he authorized to go Sooth, that one-half of the very large judicial ex- pensev of the United States Courts, in tbe Rate of North Carolina are fraudulent. It appears that the United States Marshals in that State have an amusing way off making out a lot of subpoenas for wit- in all parts of the country. Al though these witnesses never serve, the marshals certify that they have done so, charge in the mileage, per diem, etc., and sand the receipt for the same, which they also sign themselves, to the Depart ment of Joatioe as vouchers showing that they paid out the money. It is asserted by this agent that nearly one-half of the money that should pass through the bands of the Deputy Mar shal*, United States Gommi am oners, etc , in that State, sticks to their own hands, and that the United States Judge, United States Marshals and numerous deputies are engeged in a bugh swindle against the Government. This agent aaaerts that he can prove from false voucher* now on file in tbe Treasury Department, the stealing by those officials of at least #75,- 000 daring the past year. He says, furthermore, thslaicce the present Ad ministration has come into existence the stealing has been larger than ever, moet of those holding positions of the class indicated are bonrly expecting to be removed, and they are determined to make bay while the son shines. The same state of things exists in every one of tbe Sontbern States, the amounts stolen outright during the year amouotiog to more than one million dollars. When Judge Key, who acts as Postmas ter General when Jim Tyner allows him (which is but seldom), discharged George U. Butler several days ago, because he bad used liquor too freely and to tbe dis gust of bis reverend travelling compan ion, be wrote a little letter, which read well and sonnded like reform, in which be took strong temeprance ground,setting forth that no man who was in the condi tion that Butler is charged with having been could hold an appointment under him. Key has ascertained since that he put his foot in it wbeu he made that notepsblic Already several hundred letters from all parts of the country have been received at the Post Office Department, giving in stances where postmasters nse the fluid with great frequency and liberality, and that often they have been seen in a state similar to—if not more disgraceful than —that in which George Butler was said to be. As many of the postmasters com plained of are backed politioally stronger tbau George Bntler, it will not be “re, form" to remove them. In other words Jndge Key wants the people to under stand that, while it is a great crime to get drunk and raise a disturbance on a rail road train, it is not sufficient for removal when a postmaster or special agent does tho same thing in his postoffice or on the public streets.

Cbattabooubee Countt, Ga., May 1G, 1877. Editor Enquirer: These are busy times with farmers, but nevertheless they still have time to discuss the calling of a Convention, and perhaps it is well that they should interest themselves about mutter which is of such vital importance as tbe ohsnge of our organic lew. We believe now that by a judicions selection of candidates to represent the peoplo.thal our onunty will go largely for the Con vention; otherwise, it will not. This seems to have been the trouble all the while, at least it is about all tbeobjeotion I now bear urged, the foar that it will bo managed by politicians. We already have several candidates in the fluid, prominent among whom is Judge It. 0. Patterson, than whom tho people of Chattahoochee ooulil not present a better man for tho suffrage of the people of our district. A man of good judgment and economical views, he would, if elected, advocate saoh measures in tbe formation of a new Constitution as the people groat- ly need and expeet. We believe the goad people of Chattahoochoo would do veil in nominating him, and think it will he done. Crops are somowhut backward, from tbe cool nights, we suppose, but the lust few days of warm woather have rnvived corn and ootton wonderfully, and will cow doubtless grow off finely. Mr. Editor, wa are workiug hard and living hard, we poor worshippers at the abrine of “King Ootton,” in order that wc may bo enabled to pay old debts. Thus far wa have avoided debt, and hope tp go through the summer without asking credit. Cuattaboocbee. Radical Fiobting Radical.—The re port oouies from Washington that in be stowing offices in the South Mr. Hayes will have to appoint Demoorats or get new men from the North to fill them. The Radical place-seekers are aoeusiug each other of all that ia moan and despioahle, and according to their own statement none are oapable of holding any gift out- Bide of a penitentiary. It must bo a de- ightfal situation of affairs. Jack Brown and J. E Bryant had to fight about it. The Radicals are impartial judges of oaeh ether. They know the seoret workings in which each has been engaged, and so whon they pronounced each other suoh hard names as thief, raaoal, defanlter and traitor, we must take them in their own estimation. It ia not our fight. Wo cAn aland off and laugh. Wo havo no stock in any oflloe, and are equally amused to wit noss the desperate efforts of Demoorats and tbo fights of lUdioals to obtain them. It is o jolly contest after all, and has much of the farco about it, especially when civil service reform is mentioned. Ex-Gov. Rknjaxtn G. HuxrnuETs. of Mississippi, announces that he is a candi date for the Demooratio nomination for Governor of Miasisaippi. The Viokabnrg Uerald sympathizes with him, and de mands of the Demoorats that “the out rage of 18G8,” when he waB removed from oflloe, be compensated for by “justice in 1877.” Mb.

Washington, May 14.—The Adminis trstion is exerting ull its inflaence to de feat tbe election of Bam Randall to tbe Speakership of the House of Represents tives. This is one of tbe ways in which Southern Demoorats arc expected to sup port the policy ofbis Fraud ulency. They are encour aged to elect a Southern Democrat, who is in accord with the President's policy of subsidizing private corporations under pretence of developing the material re souroos of tho South. With this end view overtures have been made to more than one Southern Democratic member of the House, and tbe question has Leen asked whether ho would not vote for A, B., a Southern Democrat, with the under standing that he was in acoord with Hayes' policy. One of the gentlemen who was u party to the Matthews-Foster bargain has promised Hayes to deliver him four Democrats from tbe Bonth who will vote for tbo candidate of the Administration Secretary Sherman not long ago ap proached a Demooratio member of the House on the subject of the Speakership In reply to tbe direot question, “Who arc you goiog to vote for for Speaker?" the gontleman replied, “Mr. Randall.” Sher man then endeavored to dissuade tbe Demooratio member from his coarse, and the principal argument be used was to the effect that Randall wos bitter and uncom promising in his hostility to the Adminis tration; lie was the most objectionable man among all tbe candidates for the Speakership; ho waa a bitter partisan, and bis eleotion would signify an unrelenting hostility on the part of the majority in the Honse to the Administration. “Ran dall," continued Shenuau, “oould do more than any man in bis party to soli dify tho opposition to Hayes’s policy and to defeat the liberal policy the Ad ministration favored in the appropriation of publio money for the development of Southern interests." The member thus approached said that Mr. Randall could bo just as formidable in his opposition on the floor as tho leader of the House “No,” replied Sherman, “he can do us infinitely more injury as Speaker. He will organize the Honse against ns, and dofeat us in bis appointment of tbe regu lar and special committees." UEN. SHERMAN ON THE ARMY. UIS SPEECH AT THE NEW YORK BANQUET Among the other speakers wore ex Secretary of tho Treasury McCnllooh and General Sherman. The latter said “Thirteen years after the war, when thought we were safe for tho rest of our days, we fiud ourselves left out in tho cold without pay or rations, or anything; neg locted, slighted, hurt iu feeling but not in courage. The army is 25,000 house- loss men to-day, with families depending on them, and know not whero to go for pay or provisions.

Why the French .Ministers Re-; ilfnrC Paris, May 1C.—Tbe Chamber of Dep- j aties having yesterday voted to repeal the press law of 1875, President MacMahon wrote to Jules Simon, stating that he had i observed with surprise that neither be, l Simon, nor Martel, had placed before the , Chamber the reasons which might have prevented the repeal of this law, which was passed by M. Dufanre less than two years ago, and which Simon himself had quite recently wished to see applied in the courts of law. President MacMahon reminds Simon it had been decided at several meetings of the Cabinet that he and Martel should oppose the repeal of this law. There had been also ground for surprise that the Chamber, duriog its last few sittings, hod discussed the whole municipal law, and even adopted some clauses, the danger of which Simon bad acknowledged in council as, for instance, tbe publicity of the sittings of the munici pal councils—without Simon taking any part in the discussions. Tbe letter con. clodea as follows: “In view of such at titude on tbe part of the head pf the Cabi net, the question naturally arises whether be retains sufficient inflaence to assert his views successfully. An explanation on this point is indispensable, for I my self, alihongh not like you, answerable to Parliament, have responsibility toward France, which to day, more than ever before, most engross my attention,” In consequence of this letter Simon tendered his resignation in a letter, iu wbieh he says he was unwell and absent whcD the municipal bill was discussed. He had an appointment with the commit tee on Friday to induce them to reconsid er the vote concerning the publicity of tbo sittings of mnnicipal counties. The object of ministry to repeal the press law applied only to the punishment for insults to foreign sovereigns. Simon concludes by declaring that aa a citizen,and not as Min ister, he earnestly desires to be replaced by men belonging like himself-to the Con servative Republican party. Before sending iu his letter of resigna tion, Simon had an interview with Presi dent MacMahou. The latter said he had gone ns far aa he could, and he wouid proceed no further in the wake of the Chamber. He intended reverting to hia former opinions, and would constitute a ministry from the Liberal Right Center. President MacMahon concluded : “I be long to the Right, sir.” Simon replied: ‘And I to tbo Left.” Marshal MacMahon rejoined : “I perceive that only too well.” RETAIL “ 154 Colnmbns, - Georgia, AT COST!

Brown and Bryant, The particulars of tbe fisticuff between tboso celebrated Georgia Radicals and war-horses, J. E. Bryant and Jack Brown, have at last oome to hand. It appears there was a woman in the case, but to what extent is not known. It would ap pear fiom the account of tbe affair, as published in the Washington Star, that Bryant bas been pretending to exert his inflaence, or leek of it, to prooure s cer tain lady a billet in tbe Treasury. Her application for the position and recommendations were recently with drawn, and the lady knew not by whom. On the day of tbe fight, Brown, Bryant and tbe lady met in front of Assis'.ant Secretary McCormick’s room. Brown, having hia suspicions, demanded of Bry ant who had withdrawn the papers. The latter said be wonld answer when he saw fit. They then began jawing till Bryant, offended by an offensive epithet coat at him by Brown, iueluding the word car pet-bagger, oonpled with no complimen tary adjuncts, suddenly turned to a mes senger and handed him a bundle of pa pers which he held in his hand and aaid in a tone that meant fight: “Take these.” Before he conld tarn again Brown had lifled him under the lower jaw. Somewhat demoralized, Bryant made a foeble attempt at resistance, bat was sa luted with shot number two, which took effect iu the left peeper, totally closing that optic to daylight. Outside parties here interposed and tho '"u ceased. Brown is generally complimented for the neat manner in wbieh he castigated Bry ant. We aro impartially inclined howev er.
