LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION I AND HUBS THAN TWICE THE LARGEST AGGREGATE CIRCULATION 1 A bot in Salem, Mam., died laat week from lookjaw, resulting from the filling of a tooth. A Mono the city of Boaton appropria tion* for the Fourth of July celebration are $300 for an oration and $300 for ioe. They have a way of equalising thing* up there. 1 Mab*hal PiTEw'e refusal to raaign will not affeot the diipoaition of the marahal- ahip. A bitter fight haa been made in oppoeition to Ool. Jaek Wharton’* ap pointment a* Marshal, but hi* friends are confident that be will get the poaition. Minor Queen Victoria entertained Bov. Joaiah Henson a* tha original Tom of "Duels Tom'* Osbin,” Mr*. Stowe ha* oertifled that her hero was a combination darkey, made up of ideal oolored men, and that the Rev.^Joriah did not alon* ait for the piotur*. A abovb of the great tree* of the Yo- aemite haa ]u«t been explored. It is of an altitude similar to that of the other groves, 8,000 feet. Instead, however, of being only a oluster of forty tree*, it is a all-mile square collection of ten thou sand. There are trees in it estimated to be from 100 to 4,000 year* old. At Paaoagouta, La., there are exten sive work* for oreosoting timber, whioh i* done by first expelling the sap by ■team, and then giving the wood a bath in "dead oil,” strongly impregnated with oraoaute. Besides doubling the dura bility of the timber, it protects it from ■hip worm*. Petrinkd sea turtle* and ooooannta have been found in earth mounds in Southern Colorado, Those mounds form a vast range, and arc fifteen mile* from the foot of the ltoeky Mountains. One Is four mile* in circumference at the base, and ha* a thrifty growth of trees. Petri fied and agatised wood is beneath the sur face. The mounds are thought to hav* ages ago been island* of the aea. TDK TBAfl- On* who claims to know, says that old United State* coin*, dated from 171)8 to 1814, if they are in a good condition, are worth from five oent* to forty oents ; if they ore sharp or just as they came from the mint, then they are worth $2 eaoh. United States silver dollars dated .1704, 1804, 1836, 1838, 1830, 1851, 1852, 1854, 1868, if in good condition, are worth $3 ; if they are sharp they are worth more. A oknti.xman who oonvened with Mr. Hayes, Tuesday, expresses the opinion that in making his appointments for Louisiana he will reooguixe equally the three ele ment* of the ltepnblioan party there, namely: the native white Uepublioans, the oolored people and the .Northern Ke- pnblioans who went down to Louisians to grow up with the country. It is believed that Jim Lewis, oolored, will get the naval offloe or some other good poaition. Louisiana Federal Offices.—Mr Hayes has notified the Uepublioans who have visited him that he entends to divide the Louisiana Federal offioee among three olasses—the negroes, native ltepublioaps and the oarpet baggers. The hungry out siders have no ohanoe. Mr. Hayes has asked a oolored delegation, which has viaited him, to name their third of the oflloe-holdera and leave. His heart doesn't bleed so much for the negro as it did when he thought Tilden was elected. Federal and Mtate Powbu.— Chief Jus. lice Waite, in the oharge he gave in the Ellentun oases in Month Carolina whioh waB telegraphod to this paper, very clear ly defines the extent and limitations of Federal authority. He declared that, under the Constitution, the power to punish murdor routs in the State Govern ment and not with the General Govern ment. This will open the eyea of many Republicans, whose theory is centralisa tion and imagine the power of the Gener al Government is unlimited. STKWABT COUNTY EOT. The developments of the murder of Mrs. Chambliss sssnme a mors brutal form than at first appeared. She was a beautiful woman eighteen years of age, and a few month* happily married. Three negroes form a plot toburn the hn*band's fence* at night so a* to taka him from his dwelling, and than succeeding in that, they proceeded to hi* residence, commit ted • cowardly murder and gratified their debased passions, even after life had departed from tbc mangled corpse. The worse than insensate brutes were captured and, after a full confession was obtained, the infuriated community bnng them like the scoundrelly oars they were, witbont consulting judge or jnry. If ever lynch law was justifiable here was a case. The people were horror stricken, yet awed by the terrible enormity of the orime. The punishment was prompt and luminary. Can any say it was not just? If so, let them put themselves in the place of the hasbsnd, father, grief bowed mother and friends and ask their own hearts would they not have appealed at onoe to the higher law of proteotlon and demanded a awift and terrible retribution? The ne groes were worse than the meanest of the animal creation. Mad dogs are shot, and the condnot proved these ereaturee of an inferior order,and they deserved no better fate. The largo number of oolored per sons present were in favor of burning them. We say again, if aver mob law was justifiable, it was in this oase, and we are confident the response of every intel ligent and law-abiding community will be “Amen!" The punishment was necessary lo protect other helpless women in isolated localities. That indeed is wrstehsd philosophy whioh will oondemn a community for doing what they did when standing by the cold, lifeless body of the lovely victim, and viewing the brutish scoundrels and thinking of the enormity of the offense. God help the country that is rnled by mob law, yet when rape and murder ere combined and tbs victim is a lovely, innooent wdtnan, who oan blame if the people make them selves for the time judges, jurors, and sxeontloners? On oocsBions violent dis eases require violent remedies. Ukmombtizino Bilveb. — This is now beooming'a very important question, and one whioh will certainly be brought be fore the next Oongreas. All the indica tions point to the faot that the Month and West, regardless of party, will support the measure. The passage of s bill in both Houses is one of the inevitable results. Even Mr. Ilsyes has expressed regret that the Govornor of Illinois vetoed the bill, giving snob a measure efleot in that Mtate beoause the people evidently desired it, and the opportunity would be given for praotioally testing tha matter before the meeting of Congress. Those who have abundance of oapital may not desire'snoh a procedure, but to the Bouth and West, the agricultural regions of the land, it is absolutely essential, aud a combination will be made to oarry the bill through Congress. The journals of tbs West, in dependent of politios, are urging the 1m pottanoe of the restoration of standards of valuation as in the prosperous condi tion of the country before the era of the bondholdiog aristocracy. On the Bame line many earnest protests against the contraction of legal tonder onrrenoy are reaching the Administration, and a general petition is in the oourse of preparation by anti-resnmptionists against wbst is believed to be Mooretary Sher man's polioy. It is based on the proposi tion that he haB no right to oanool any portiou of the legal tenders that be ob tains with tbs prooeeds of the sale of bonds. enuubh AND AMERICAN It would satisfy a general ouriostty if we oouid have, says tbs Bt. Louis Repub lican, s series of thorough trials of speed between the best English and the beet American race hones on the turf of either country or of both. The greet Derby in England was won last Wednesday by Sil vio in a test of seventeen starters. Tims, 2:50. The eonrse is said to be abont a mile and a half. Banning a mile and a half in two minutes and fifty aeoonds by a winner of the Derby is oertainly nothing to brag of, when we remember that only laat week Harper’s Ten Broeok ren two miles in 2:87}, end tbst Buford's Mo- Wbirter had previously made tbs same distance In 2:40} and True Blue in 2:42}. A number of good American horses have beep taken to England to contest with th* English on their own turf, but tbe results have never been satis factory to ns. Tbe English sys tem of hsndiosppiug or weighing horses of established reputation, does not enlt our horses nor our ideas of fair racing, and it is olsimed that this is the explana tion of the repeated defeats suffered by the horses whioh Mr. Ten Broeek took to England some years ago. Tha English claim that their horses are superior to ours; indeed, they bosst that the Eng lisb thoroughbred is the finest animal in the world, having been made superior to tbe Arabian and th* barb, by th* better training and breeding he reoeives. Time tests, however, do not show It; these are largely in favor of tbe Amerieens, and if they are to be relied on, show that tbe Amerioan thoroughbred is as superior in fleetnesa to bis English ancestors, as the latter are to their Arabian and Afrioan progenitors. It is possible that it makes material difference whether a horse runs at home or abroad, and that the best English horses wonld bo as badly beaten on oar trades a* our horses are beaten on the English turf. THE CONTENTION. now to von. White and Black Mobtaliti.—The health report of Obarlestoo, B. 0., pre sent* some facts touohing tbe compara tive vigor of whites and blacks that it is not easy to explain. The population of tbe oity is 58,000—24,000 whites and 82,» 000 oolored persons. As the colored per sons outnumber the whites, of course tbe mortality tables embrsoe a greater num ber of the former than of the lqtter; but the disproportion of deaths is strikingly greater than the disproportion in the pop. ulution. Thus, among the whites there were 078 deaths, and among the oolored persons 1,844 deaths in 1878—or twioe as many among the latter as among ths former, though the oolored population exceeds the white only one.third. In 1875 there were 624 deaths among tbe whites and 1,240 among the blacks—still about the same disproportion. In 1876 there were 27 deaths in the thousand among the whites and 42 in the thousand among the black*. The differenoe is still mors strikingly exhibited in the infant mortali ty. Abont 44 par oent. of all the deaths were of ohildren under five years old, or 800; but of this number only 288 were white ohildren aud 658 colored—ot nearly three of the latter to one of the former. These foots are not explained by tbe in ability of the oolored people to secure medical attendance, for medioal attendunoe oan be had by the poor, white and blacks alike, without coat, and there is probably no oity in the United States where the oolored popula tion are in a more oomfortable condition than Charleston. After consultation with Speaker A. O. Bacon, and a careful scrutiny of the Act, wo fled tbst tbe point mode by tbe Con stitution is eorreet, that no ballot will eonnt either way upon whioh tbe endorse- menl of Convention or no Convention has not been mode. It bad been forgotten that tbe amendment making tbe failure to write Convention on any tioket for del egates, equivalent to a vote for that measure, was stricken out before the final result was reached. The following is the wording of the first seotion of the Aot, which eovers the ground: u Be it ensoted by the Benate and House of Bepresentatives of the State of Geor gia, and it is hereby enacted by authority of the same. That immediately after the paaeage of this bill His Excellency the Governor be, and he is hereby authorized and required to issue bis proclamation, ordering sn election to be held in each and every oounty in this State, on the second Tuesday in June, 1877, for dele gates to a Convection of tbe people of Georgia, to oonvene at the oapitol in the eity of Atlanta, on the seoond Wednesday in July, 1877, for the purpose of rovisiug the Constitution of said State. Provided, nevertheless, that at tbe elec tion of delegates provided for by this Aot, the voters may have written or prin ted, on their ballots the word “Conven tion,” or the words “No Convention,” and if a majority of thoee voting on tbe qneation of holding or not holding a Con vention shall vote for a Convention, the Governor shall by proclamation so de clare, and order the delegates so eleoted to assemble aaoording to the provisions of this Aot; and if a majority of those voting on the question of holding or not bolding said Convention shall be opposed to said Convention, it shall be tbe duty of the Governor by proclamation so to de alers, and order that the delegates so eleoted do not assemble, and tbe Conven tion shall not be held.” Tbe above is very explioit, and we trust will be diligently noted and regarded by the friends of s Convention. Let it be romembered. Fora Convention must bo written or printed upon every tioket, or yoar vote will eonnt nihil upon tbe sab- jeot. All ofonr exchanges should oall particular attention to tbe above iangnnge of tho Aot.—Telegraph-Messenger. ANNOUNCEMENTS. For the Constitutional Con vention. Ws are authorised to announce In.

The Convention.—We have no feara but that the Convention will be oarried in this district.

Of oourse the architect and the givers expeot remuneration in the way of offioe, small and large. They are now trying the system whioh proved so effeotive under General Grant. They mnat raise the prioe though. Terra ootta busts are rather cheap. Mr. Hayea desires a great many thing*, but he wants them fine. He does not want any more busts. He’s hed enough.

Maw York Herald ] The contributions to tbe Pope, excln- sive of presents ot articles of value from virions countries whioh have already been presented to hie Holiness, are very large. It may be mentioned that the anbscrip- Uons of the people of Ireland were made op ot small sums, althongh one county (Wicklow) contributed $5,000. Cardinal Cullen took to Borne $35,000 collected in Dublin alone. The prinoipal offerings wore a* follows. ttofwany 810,000 Belgium A:, ooo Portugsi 4X000 Australis is,ooo Cantos ao.noo Hotlenl.sx.000 Heotlsto So.ooe Hwiutriaad.... ittjm »....gBxooo Unltedsiatm.. 1*0,000 Ireland IK,' 00 H»ty 1*1,000 ■pain 100,ON Easlaad 10*,000 Austria 76,000 Heath Amorioa 76,000 What it Means.—The freedom of the pity of London entitles Grant and his ohildren “to oarry ou any retail trade within the oorporate limits without being taxed at the gates on the goods he brings in; be will be exempted also from com pulsory service’in the British army or navy. If he eleots to iivo within tho oity limits—rather a long way from the West End whioh is waking so tnuob of him just now—he will be free from tolls and customs throughout all England and parts of the see; and his ohildren being left orphauB will havo the right to beoouie wards of tho oity and to put their proper ty for safe keeping into the Oity Chamber. He will also have the right to hnnt in the oounty of Middlesex." This was a good deal to be crowiled into a small gold box. Thehe seems to be very little unanimity among the convention candidates. Mr W. A. Little, of Oolumbns, for iuatar.ee, wants the publio school system abolished, and tbe homestead exemption done away with, and he seems to be making a cam paign in bia section on those issues. It is unfortunate to sse convention men famishing their opponents with such snb- stantislsrguuients.—Atlanta Constitution. Where the Constitution received the above ideas we osnnot imagine. We know it is altogether wrong. The very opposite is true. There is no material difference between the oonvenlion candi dates. We kuow that Capt. W. A. Little strongly favors a homestead law and a fair and practioal system of pnblic in struction. Si'eeoh or Gen. Toombs.—General It. Toombs made a speech at the Hot Springs, Arkansas, not long sinoe. Among other things he said this: “The Bouth never sought any pecuniary advantage from tbe Government ot the United States; she ought to seek none now. I was in Congress seventeen years, and in my own district in Eastern Geor gia. and I say to yon now that I never got a dollar ont of tbe Treasury efor one sin gle spot in that district. I was not sent there to steal. Every dollar taken from the Treasury for one particniar locality is an injustice to the rest of tbe country,end I can tell yon, to the glory of my oonatit- nents, that in the seventeen years of my pnbli* servioe in Congress no man in Georgia asked me to do it.” A “thbillino and romantic narrative,'" that has been, published for and wide, is exploded. The story was to the effeot that a “ young, beantifnl, intelligent, and attractive nan" in Bt. Francis’s Hospital, Pittabnrgh, had violated her vows of obastity by eloping with a physician em ployed in the institution. Tha facta ap pear to be that a young woman, who waa on probation, and had takeu no vows, left the nunnery, returned to tbe world, and ia living respectably with her friends. The President on the Silver I|hi. lien. Warliingtou apecUl to tile Cincinnati Garotte.] Several Western gentlemen, in an in terview with the President to-day, dis- ousaed the ailver question at some'lengtb. The President, if these gentlemen are to be believed,gave expression to views npon the silver qneatiou whioh will attraat at tention in many quarters. lteferring to the recent veto of the Illinois silver bill by Governor Cnllom, the President earnestly,almost impatient ly, expressed his disapproval of the veto. He said that Gov, Gullom should have permitted the bill to beoome s law, as it mauifestiy was the deeire of the people, and the President thought the operation of the law os sn experiment would have been advantageous to the people of the whole country. The President gen erally expressed himself in favor of the remonetization of silver, but said that it would be very difficult to determine in what form such a step wonld be advisable. These gentlemen were Western men, full of the silver qneation, and eager to think that the President agreed with them in all particulars. They said, in faot, that they wore confident that John Sher man alone stands in tbe way of a law whioh shall make ailver a legal tender in the payment of all debts, pnblio and pri vate. It will be well, however, to await tbe President’s own definition of his poaition. It is certain that he ia opposed to any leg- i,lotion which contemplate* the payment of the publio debt in any other coin than gold ooin. Senator Harris, in response to queries, favored us yesterday with his views on tbe Mexican question. He agrees sub stantially with the views expressed by the American. His opinion is doubly valuable, for besides along resoh in the way of politioal prophecy, the years spent in Mexioo have made him familiar with the oonntry, its inhabiuntsaud the modes of thought, and tbe forma whioh anarohy take in that country. He is opposed to annexation. He says there are 7,000,000 of worthless population to 1,000,000 of intelligent good oitisena, and we cannot afford to deal with the problem of carry ing more of them than we have. He thinks it the duty of the government to parens s firm and just eonrse, repressing all lawlessness and building np trade and ■applying an orderly, law-abiding population. In tbe oonrse of time be tbinka Mexico will, if anoh a sys tem is followed, fall into our arms when ever it is to her interest and to ours, that is when the oonntry eball be developud and bniltnp, populated by a (tardy, solid, industrioas population, Americanized. Then it will interest both to come together, end neither nor any claaa of either will op pose it. He rays the eduoated classes are men of isnseand thorough education, while the other classes are more than nanally objectionable as oitisens. To take charge of them as their guardian he wonld re gard as unfortunate, a dear responsibility with no corresponding benefit. He thinks we have territory enough to occupy us for the next few yean, without getting on onr hand* anoh an elephant as Mexioo would be with her present popu lation and almost total want of develop, wen l —Mashviiit American. THE LAST Or T1IE CJE8AR8. AN INNOCENT AND UNSOPHISTICATED MEM DEB OF ABE OBANT FAMILY. [Don Plntt.] I was walking along the avenue not long since with a friend from Chicago, who said : “Do you see that men slouohing along as if he did not hold himself well in 00m- mand ?’ f I acknowledged tbe figure to be within my line of vision. “Well, that’s the oieverest—I mean Amerioan oieverest—member of the Grant family. That is Orvil, and be is a right jolly, good fellow, with the perceptions of a child. He does not know one man from another, and is equally ignorant of tbe difference betwoen right and wrong. When Grant was first insngurated Orvil was in Chicago, tnd some evil disposed people suggested that, being the brother of tbe President, be ought to get in with the whiskey ring, and tbst by such Ar rangement profits wonld accrue. And so the innooent Orvil had himself appointed Inspector, and went shout in a little wagon with a little keg and a vial with a string thereto, and every barrel be dropped in paid its toll to the little keg, the whiskey thus abstracted being carried away for farther inspection. It was sup posed by the homoeopathlo process that in time Orvil would be thk owner of a hand some assortment of high wine 4. Bat the ring found they oouid not make Orvil comprehend their larger operations, and so Orvil one bright morning found him self out of office. “He has an intense passsion for patent ed labor-saving inventions, and the next thing hiB friends knew was that Orvil was half owner in a milking apparatus that palled away at four teat's at once with tbe power of eight ball osives. He invited his friends to s trial of the ‘Condensed Air Belf-aotlngBnll-Oalf Milker,’ warrant ed to exbsnst s cow in three minutes. A qniet old mother of the milky herd was borrowed for the oooasion, and in the presence of quite a orowd of friends (tbe President’s brother always has the warm est friends) and a sprinkling of reporters, the machine was applied. When adjusted to tho first test Bookey looked around. When the second wss applied she express ed some apprehension. Bnt Orvil said to her, soothingly, ‘So ho, so ho, old lady,’ and she permitted him to- proceed. Tbe fonr teats were properly inolosed, bnt wheD the pump was set to work the cow took a panic. Lowering her head and lifting her tail she let loose a roar worthy a bull, and then she bolted, and she took the 'self-aoting, baok-aotioO, bull calf milker’ with her, pump, tubes, and all. Away she went, having her speed hastened by tbe yells and shouts of the friends of the President's brother and the wioked reporters. A mill pond being in tbe way, into this the frantic oow plunged. The ‘self-aoting air pump, baok-aotion oow-exbsuster' sunk, bnt 8ukey floated, and when she swam ont it was witbont the maohine and a good part of four teats. ‘Thns, gentlemen,’ cried Orvil, ‘I have sank $800.’ “ Orvil was next taken np by some rail road men and aent to Europe to sell their bonds. Orvil, finding the sale rather dull, pnt in bis spare time and the oash of the company in purchasing oonfisosted estates in Cabs. It getting ont that the brother of the administration was thns engaged, the belief spread that onr government wss abont to interfere in Cuban affairs, end Mr. Fish fonnd it neoessary to ask the President to get Orvil home. This wss done, and the enterprising company fonnd that they had sold no bonds, bnt Orvil bad the handsomest collection of estates in Gnba of any man alive, and tbe more he had the poorer he promised to be." My friend entertained for an hoar in his sooonnt of Orvil’s life and limes, bnt I am too near the end of my letter to re peat. A PROCLAMATION. GEORGIA : By ALFRED H.
