AND MORE THAN TWICE THE LARGEST AGGREGATE OIROULATION I Louisville Courier-Journal: “ I get •long well enough in the cavalry, but somehow this infantry, with its holler squares and tbibgs, gels me.—[P. H. Sheridan.” A Ool. Geo. G. Gnats*, ones chief of staff to Gen. Maury, At Mobile, died at hia plantation in Assumption parish, La., on the 28th, In his 48th year. He was a good man and effiolent officer. Mb. end Mbs. Hates, on Wednesday, took flowers with them to Arlington, and in person strewed the graves of the dead soldiers, and added to the deoorations of the monument to “the unknown dead." The Philadelphia Timet says the organs have been so busy calling on Governor Stone about the Kemper oonnty murders in Mississippi that they have forgotton to speak to Governor Oallom, of Illinois, about the wholesale poisoning at Streator. •! «.,» As mattebs stand to-day in Pennsyl vania, the Philadelphia Timet says the ltepnblioan majority in the State last fall wonld be lost in Philadelphia, Lanoaater and Alleghany oountiea, and the Demo cratic majority in the other counties might be anything from thirty to fifty thousand. “ When should I wear this dress ?’ asked a lady of Worth, the Paris man- milliner. “ It is too high for evening, too airy for a promenade, and not light enough for dinner." “Madame," plied Worth, “ I made this dress to be worn between 4 and 5 o'clock; not a uio meut before, and not a minute after.” In the annual report of the Miohigan State Hoard of Health, Dr. Soott describes a disease that he thinks is a result of using tobacco. The patient feels a vio lent pain in the left side, and believes that his heart is affected. The trouble is a rhenmatio oondition of the walls of the chest. Abstiuauee from tobaooo cures When General Grant went a few weeks ago to order his new uniform in Philadel phia, bis tailor invited him to step on the scales and be weighed. “Ob," pleasantly replied the ex-President, “I know my weight exactly. It is 185 pounds. That is what I keep myself at.” And, sure enough, the beam turned at just that fig ure. THE CONTENTION OIIENTION. We heard a prominent Kepublioan, who, himself, intends to vote for the Convention, ssy the other day, that the general determination of the blacks was to vote against the Constitutional Con vention. We are compelled to dissent from hie opinion becaum this is not a strictly party question. We dissent for a stronger reason, which is, that very few of them have paid their poll taxes, whiob, according to the law of Georgia, is a pre requisite to votiDg, and there is no one sufficiently interested in the opposition to pay it for thsm. The colored people do not thiok as mnob of voting as they onoe did, and if they do, are not willing to give a dollar eaoh for the privilege, though the money be devoted to the edu cation of their race. If the colored people bad an eye to their own Interests, they wonld vote largely for Convention, for now is the best time for its assembling. It is sure to be called some lime. The nooessitiee of the age demand reform. The tenden cy now is conservatism. The country is *t present redooed to its lowest, stage of depression. This is an additional argu ment for balding the Convention. Men now will be inoro ready to grant conces sions, for the need of harmony oan be easily demonstrated. These reasons, and many others suggested to the oolored people will show them where their true interest lies. We know that dust, heat and general disagreeableness prodnaes depression and languid attention, bnt wo have been una ble ae yet to find the great dissatisfaction whiob some have discovered with the late notion of the candidates. The disgusting weather produces fretfuluess and onuses peevish talk. Muscogee will go over whelmingly for tbo Convention at the eleotion next Tuesday. If anything would move the Democrats from their apathy, and prove $> them that it is to tho welfare of property hold ers to vote for tho Convention, it would be tbat all the Uepnblioans in the State, with a very few exceptions, oppose it bit terly. Conley, Bryant and Akerman have all published their edicts against it. Will the white people of Georgia heed their advioe in preference to that of ToombB, Jenkins, Gordon, Smith, Colquitt, Buch anan, lteese, Hill and aoores of others who have been trusted and aro true? Certainly Mnsoogee will not. Col. Bub Inoebsoll commenced bis looture at Donvor thus: “I have serious doubts whether Iiayee was elected by the peoplo, although, Congress, which repre. sents the people, saw fit—I think wisely— to deolaro him tho President." Ool. Bob is changing his taotioa. No one at the outset was more confident that Hayee was eleoted by the people. Ten Texan cattle breeders alone own 1,020,000 cattle, besides horses and mules, and have 082,000 aorea of enclosed pas turage. In 1870 the atatistios showed that the Btate contained 424,004 horses, 01,822 moles and asses, 428,048 milch oows, 182,40!) oxeu, and 2,OSS,04S other cattle; or, for all the owners in tlia Btate. only 9,408,000 more than are now owned by ten mon alone. Puofessob lit ley, more familiar with the obaraoter and habits of the locusts of our plains than any living man, has jnst visited Kansas and Nebraska, the prinoi. pal 8tales that have hitherto suffered from this soourge, and he reports tbat “we are probably at the end of the trou ble.” It is believod from close inspee tlon of large territories that the yonng inseots wbioh hatched ont during April have been rapidly destroyed by the ole ments, by parasites and by birds, and these influences, with (he work of the farmers themselves, have at this date brought to destrnotiou nine.tenths of the yonng grasshoppers. Iuat $45,000 Fee.—We have given the statements of Gov. Smith and Gen. Garlington. The letter of the latter was virtually a defense of Gov. Colquitt's so tiou. Tho oontract from a oarefnl pern, sal of Gen. Garlington'e showing does not yet appear clear. We await Gov. 8mith reply, whioh we understand will certainly be paid. The evidenoe thus far sddnoed to our mind, goes to ahow Gov. Colquitt paid the reward too hurriedly—at least too much ao to throw the blame on ex-Gov. Smith’s shoulders, as ' be is ohsrged with doing. Governor Smith will, wo understand, make a very bitter reply and go into details which will still further explain the mat ter. According to long explanations of Gen. Garlington the contract was never signed by Gov. Smith, and the contrast, if there be oue, was merely verbal. The whole affair has the air of bnrriednees on the part of the present Executive. Onr information is that ex Gov. Smith denies he ever made such a oontract, and olaima tbat he can prove it. We await his reply with great interest. T* ths Tatars af «•»!•», CBallaBaa- ekaa aad Naieaaaa flews tie*. Upon maturely considering the status of affairs, I respaotfnlly aak that you no longer consider the subject of my oandi- daoy for the convention. The action of the six gentlemen who were lately before the people baa given general dissatisfaction, and I feel folly sustained in the objections that I nrged thereto. The canvass, however, has now assumed quite a disagreeable shape, end, as all my friends most perceive, an aspect of peculiar delicacy. The three gentle men plaoed before the publie in the man ner agreed upon are capable and worthy, and I am satisfied their motives were for the pnblio good. The condemnation of their polioy is verging into personalism— is even affeoting the Convention ques tion itself. I took issue with the six in a mere matter of judgment, and leave to those who will take ths pains to ascertain the pnblio sense on that point the ques tion of determining who is right. The preservation of personal relations are vastly more important and desirable to me tbao a seat in the Convention. Again, under the conditions of the can vass as it coinmenoed, Marion and Ghat- tabooohee counties were folly protected in that regard for looal rights, wbioh, in my opinion, Bbonld gnarantee the snooess of the gentlemen nominated by those oonnties. I cannot content to hazard that result. Apportionments of mem bers to the various oounties composing tbe Senatorial district of the State have been without exception. Let not onr diatriot be the tole exception to that jnst and generous rule. Let all voters a :e that on their tickets the five names shall always include Marion's and Chattahoo chee's ohoioe. To the friends who were so ardently supporting me I can only say that my* highest hope is to be ever worthy that geuerous confidence whioh on more than one occasion has been aoeorded me. Very roBpeottnily, Ao., Joseph F. Pou. BOSTON. SEMI ANNUAL MAEINO UP OF COTTON MAN- UFAOTOBINO OJMPANIBS LESS FAVOBABLB GENERALLY THAN WAS ANTICIPATED. Boston, June l.—Annual meetings of the Nashua and Jackson Manufacturing Companies were held to-day. The former, for the first time in nineteen years, passed a comi-annnal dividend. The •emi-a’i- nnal making np of the ootton manufac turing companies is less favorable gener ally than was anticipated. Several which passed their lsst semi-ennnsl dividends now make three per oent., bnt others ere still unable to make any dividend. The large Amoekeag Company makes font pet cent., bnt it is understood that less than one per cent, hat been earned, and the remainder is taken from the surplus. roM.r.ui; fakminu. A sturdy farmer of Chattabooaben oonnty who bad received few educational advantages, determined that his Rons should bo thoroughly eduoatod. He, therefore, sent him to tbe best sobools in the oonnty, and when sufficiently ad vanced, sent him to college. Tom, while a bright etndent, did not rank vory high when it came to work. Daring vacation he oame borne aqd the old man, knowing hia aversion to labor, called him np one morning and giving him a bag of peas, direoted him to bow them in n eertaln field. Tom took tbo pons and started for the field. After he had boon gone about half an hour, the old man thought be would go and seo how his son was doing the work. When he roach od tbe field, to his surprise, Tom was mounted on a mule and busily engaged aeattoring tho peas. The old man pro tested, bnt Tom assured him, it was the way it was done et ooliege and a great improvement on tho old fogy method Aflor witnessing tho operation a while tbo father thought he would like to give the now way a practical teat, so ho oalled hia son saying: “Git off of that oritter, Tom, and jist lot mo try my baud a little." Tom dismounted, and the old man mounted tho mule. The “new way" was novel and the old man waa delighted. He was get ting on finely, when tbe male ohanced to tarn iln head, just os he was scattering a “handful," wbioh, instead of reaching the ground, went into the mule's ear. The mule, unaaonstomed to suoh famili arity, gave some novel movements and tho old man landed on his head some twenty feet away. Tom rushed to his father's assistance and raised him np. Tbe old man was somewhat rilod, and ool. leoting himself, Baid: “Tom, you infernal fool, if you try any muro of your oollcge farming on this plaoe, I'll baste you ifiive. Dorn your college farming. Take up them peas and sow them like a white man and none of your ooliege lamin’ here." Tom sowed the peas the old fashion way, but if he wanted a mass he bad only to suggest to the old man how a thing was done at ooliege. In May o f last year, the Fall ltiver manufacturers sent Mr. 8. A. Wheelright, formerly a consul in Bonth America, to Brasil, to study the exaot requirements of that market for ootton goods. The mis sion was a snooesafnl one in every par ticular. The information obtained gave the manufacturers a olne to what is neo- emory to do to adapt their goods to the tastes of the Brasilians, and Mr. Wheel- right, by establishing ageneiea in the sev eral provinces, provided tbe means for selling the goods after they were sent there. Tho result is a larger and increas ing sale of Auieriean oottons in Braxil. There is Doming apparently to prevent the aeale doubling onoe a year for years exoept a relaxation of effort. Mr. Wheel- right reports that there ia great need of having houses in UreaU who will work for American merchants. Tbe few houses now engaged in the American trad* are nmatly interested in exporting tropical jpotaeu. The Boston Daily Advertieer published last week the following statement from a correspondent in Washington : "A prominent conservative citizen end jurist of Alabama, who has just returned from New York, says while there he call ed upon Gov. Tilden, and duriug the course of tho interview, Mr. Tilden said be knew that he had been legally obosen Fresideut, bnt ho felt tbat if he had at tempted to force his way into the Fresi- deutial chair civil war wonld have enBned and the oountry beeu drouohed in blood. He had coueidered the subject very care fully, and, after lunch deliberation, con cluded to authorize his representative hero to aocept a compromise aud cousent to an Electoral Commission. In accept ing the Electoral tribunal, the Demo cratic leaden here aoted with his fnll knowledge and approval.” The Waahingtou correspondent of tho Baltimore Hun likewise gives an aooount of this eminent jurist of Alabama and of biB conversation with Mr. Tilden, differ ing somewhat from tho above, but telling what waa plainly meant to be the same atory. We have made inquiries npon this sub ject, and are authorized to say that Mr. Tilden has had no interview with any cit izen of Alabama, and that he has made no such remarks as are attributed to bim in the above report, or in tbe report of tbe Baltimore •Sun; and he has never said, either to this supposititious South ern conservative and jurist, or to any other person, that, in aoeepting the Elec toral Tribunal, tbe Democratic leaders in Washington acted with hia knowledge and oonaent.—A".

The Late Arbitration—Directly In the Line of the County Conven tion. Mr. Editor—In obedienoe to a eall of tbe Executive Committee of the Demo- cratic party of the oonnty, a number of citizens met at the oonrt honse on tbe — ujt. to consider whether it were beat to make nominations for the Oonstitntional Convention, and after a full disonssion of tbe matter the meeting vote^by 28 to 18 (as reported by the Enquibeh-Sun), that it was not to tbe beet intorest of the psrty to make nominations, but to leave the field open for as many to tan as desired. Accordingly seven of tbe moat prominent oitizeua of the oonnty announoed them selves as candidates. After the field had been open as long as it was supposed ueoeasary for all to annonnoe tbomselves who bad any desire to ran, it was ascer tained tbat the people of Marion and Obattahooohee had become distrnstfal, and feared tbat with seven of Mnsoogee’B ablest men in the field that tbe voters of Mnsoogee would disregard the pledge of hor convention and would elect all five of the delegates from their own county. With a desire to alley the fears of the Chattahoochee and Marion people and to do ample justice to those oonnties the said candidates, or at least six of them, agreed among themselves to leave it to arbitra tion whioh of the three should ran and whioh throe should oome down. At this time it was not supposed there wonld be any other Demoeratio candidates. But since the aotion of this arbitration (wbioh was not a nomination in any sense), a howl has been raised by a few maloon- tonts, who oharge “snap judgment," “combination," eto., against the six gentlemen who went into the arbitration. We never understood that tho County Convention undertook to say that while there should be no nomina tions, that there should be no “combina tions.” Nor do we think it meant to say that after a man bad announoed himself bh a candidate he should not deollne to run or leave it to an arbitration of his friends as to whether he should run or not. If it had have done so it wonld have teen the first Convention that we ever knew of that undertook to say aa much. Tbe aotion of the six candidates was wise and patriolio, and was in the interest of peaoe and harmony through tbe distriot, and ia deserving the praiBe of all patriotie citizens, and we feel as sured is reoeiving ihe praise of all suoh. < Those who wonld invite fresh opposi tion at this late date, when it is too late to make a nomination, are disorganisers and have not the interest of the party at heart, and if they should succeed in get ting each strong men as Judge Crawford and Col. Cbappel to ran (which we think notatallprobable),oar opinion iB it would result in Obattahooohee and Msrion not beiDg represented in tbe Convention. And farther, it would invite opposition from the Hadiosls, and we think would receive it. Demoobat. European Armies. From the Pall Mall Gantts ] The fifth edition of Baron de Worm*’ book, “The Folioy of England in the East,” oontalns some interesting tables on the population and armies of the dif ferent European nations. According to these returns, the Ottoman Empire, in clusive of the tributary States, comprises 18.000. 000 Turks, 1,500,000 Arabs, 600,- 000 Tartars, Turkomans and Zingarees, 5.128.000 Roumanians, 2,000,000 Greeks, 4.800.000 Bulgarians* 500 000 Servians, and 800,000 Bulgarians professing the Mohammedan faith. In Servia there are 450.000 Roman Catholics, and 100,000 in Albania. Altogether the popnlation of the empire reaches 52,092,068; but this ia inolnaiveof nearly 11,000,000 Nubians, 5.000. 000 Egyptians, and 8,000,000 Rou manians and Servians. In another table tbe effective of the armies of tbe different powers are stated as follows; Unsaia, 1,789- 571; Germany, 1,248,884; France (Inclu sive of the reserve* and territorial army), 1,118,525; Austria, 964,268; Italy, 871,871; England, 655,808; and Turkey, 629,786. In the Turkish army there are 154,876 regulars to 475,860 irregulars, while in the other Enropean armies, with the ex ception of England, there is about an equal proportion of aotive and reserved foroes. In respeot of fleets, France hBS 68 iron-olad vessels as against 61 pos sessed by Great Britain, bnt the latter power has 449 other war vessels, as com pared to only 366 in tbe French navy. Russia baa 31 iron-olads and 124 other men-of-war; Turkey has 21 iron-olads; Italy, 17; Austria, 12; Germany, 8, and Greece, 1. Montenegro has only 190,000 inhabitants, with an annual revenne of 4)5,000, bnt it has 26,000 soldiers—in other words, nil the able-bodied men are tinder arms. The pnblio debt of Russia exceeds 4300,000,000, or half aa muoh again as that of Tnrkey. VE0ETINE Purifies the Blood, Reno* vates and Invigorates the Whole System.
