None of the money has as yet been given out. OonmaavIomiNAi.: Another unknown planet it announced from Ann Arbor, Miohigan. Somehow, tbe heavenly bodies have always bad a way of revolving within eaay range of Ann Arbor, and all the new planets aeetu to frequent tbe quarter of tbe sky wbioh is immediately opposite to that comparatively in significant town. Perhaps the Hiobigan Central Railroad baa something to do with this astronomi cal monopoly. Aooobdino to Appleton’s Anierioan En cyclopedia, tbe term “Oonatitntional Con vention" bas always been applied “to a convention of delegates of the people assembled to frame a Constitution for tbe ■State, which mop, or may not, be submit ted to the people Jor ratification." Yet Attorney General Ely makes that of Geor gia lean in authority than the Legislature —in plain English that a Convention of the sovereign people of Georgia can be limited by a legislative aot. Oon&lino is not so weloome to all his countrymen as be is to some of tbe gen tlemen of the New York Cnstom-honse. The New York Timet ridicules him and points ont the blunders he has made in his speeobes sinoe his return, one of whieh wes bis assertion that commissions are sold in the British army. It appears that Hr. Oonkling, like so many other Americans, is not a persistent reader of foreign news, and the faot that the law permitting the sale of Britiah commis sions had been abolished esoaped him, notwithstanding all tbe disonssiun over it The Location of the Capital.—As this paper and tbe dailies of Augusta and Hacon have been urging for many weeks shonld be dono, tbe Convention by an overwhelming majority, has deoided to leave the looation of lha Capital out of the Constitution and snbmit the question to the people separately, at tbe next elec tion for members of the General Assemb ly. This is nothing bnt jnst. It gives every plaoe an equal right and affects not the claims of Atlanta nor Mllledgeville. The question was an important one, and we are truly rejoioed tbe individual ohoicaa of towns are not to enter into the question of adopting tbe new Constitu< lion. This and tbo printing matter has at least ended as we desired, and urged. 1ION. HOHKH’f TOO NUN ANIt HIM CONVENTION. Tbo Atlanta correspondent of the Tele- graph-Mettenger, thns writes : ua. TOOMBS has been engagod in fighting the monop olies and corporations for the eutire past week. He has had a hard oontest of it, bnt, although in a few particulars, he has failed, aueoees has settled upon his ban ners in a surprising manner. There appeared a few days ago an opinion of Attorney General Ely, under antbority of which Mr. Kenfroe refuses to pay any farther per diem or mileage to the delegates of tlio Convention, as the $25,000 appropriated by tho Legislature to provide for the expenses of the Con vention bad boen expended. In this straight Mr. Collier introdnoed a resolution to authorise the President to appoint a special oommittee to look into the matter of finanoe, and aonsider how the necessary funds could be raised. The oommittee was appointed and bad a meeting at 1 o'clock the same day (Bat. urday) Tbe result of the oonnoil was that before 5 o'clock they had raised $25,- 000. The money was furnished by Gen. Toombs. This is an act of patriotism which is not often seen in these days of self interest and venality. General Toombs says that the Blate oan take $100,000 if the good of the pnblio requires it. That his entire fortune is at the dispuaal of the people of Georgia. This is sincere, for say what his enemies may about Ibis gentleman's habits of life, none oan doubt'the parity and sincerity of his aentimenta when it oornes to any question involving tbe pnblio weal. AN INCREASE OP AMT. All the advocates of a centralized pow er are urging tbe neceaaily of a strong standing army. Gen. Bherman, down to to the lowest subaltern, is In favor of in creasing tbe number of troops. They want men to command, and attempt to show the uselessness oi militia by their inefficiency in the Pennsylvania cam paign. Now for a variety troops are a very good thing, We like them to be in their plaoes in the Bonth to spend Gov- ernment money and enliven trade, bnt always to be aabjeot to civil authority We like to see good drilling and hear exo'l- lent military bands, bnt are utterly op posed to an increase in the regular army Boldiers cost too much and do little good —nothing in proportion to the fund ex pended on them. The long and abort of an irrevocable ohapter is this, that the Southern Congressman who votes an in crease of tbe army by that ballot digs bis politieal grave. The Booth will ask him to serve her at home, and make him do it. He mast be oonlent to rest forever in tbe bosom of the family circle and keep in retirement. None would dare vote for tbe measure were they diapoaed. CHEAP TELEGRAPHY PAR OFF AGAIN It is announced from New York that tbe Western Union and Atlsntio A Pacifio Telegraphic Companies bare combined. Instead of lighting each otbor, they have resolved to join forces and fight tbe pub- lio. Tbe monopoly from which it was hoped tbs oonntry wonld soon bs relieved has been fastened upon ns tighter than ever. Tbe only relief now that oan be af forded is to hold over tbo Weetern Union, the line which is now the monopolist of the knsineea of tbe United States, the threat that unless some degree of fairness is observed the Government will take possession Of the wires and operate them ss it does tbe postal department, of which it conld be made a part, as is now tbe case in Eng land. There the plan has been found to work splendidly, to the sstisfsetion of all. This course in this oountry wonld be the dernier retort, s remedy wbioh would not be sought except in pressing urgency. The plan seems to be so admirably con ducted In England that we do not doubt tbe Government will eventually bsvs lines of Its own. They say that in s timbered oountry they do not oost over a hundred dollars s mils, so Superintendent Eck- hert says. Tbe two rival companies have agreed that the oompelition that has brought rates down to reasonable figure* ought to oesse. Committees consisting of Wro. H. Vanderbilt, Ex-Gov. Morgan and Au gustus Bchnell for the Western Union, sod Russell Sage, Sidney Dillon and O. G. Sampson for the A. 4P., or “Apple- tree telegraph, ” ss the Well Street boys call it, have talked the matter over and say tbe thing must be done. The Western Union finds it an np hill work to earn dividends on its enormous watered steak, and they will take advantage of any meas- nre which promises to add io their till; while Dillon, Keene, Ssge A Co. sre anxionn to get off their bands the load with which Gould burdened them. Both parlies are on tbe make, and both desire to make out of Ihe pnblio. Sage says out bluntly on tbe street that tbo main thing Ir Io make a market for A. A P. stock, and hints that ho doesn't care a osnt what happens if he and Keeno only get tbe d—d thing off their hands ; that is, if they got rid of Ihe stock that Jay Gould saddled on them under the pre tense that be was in Ihe same raoe Gould is in tbo business. Just now Western UnioD is his pet, snd be is pushing things lovely. The pnblio is to be bied, and ohenp telegraphy is bat another dream for the future. The A. A P. wns drawing so near that wo had strong anticipations of soon attaining to tbo low rsloa iu tho populous North snd West. It is possible that tbe Weslorn Union will decrease its rates somewbst, as it bns unlimited sway snd no rivals; but snob prioes as were promised by the A A P. cannot bo real ized until nnotber strong rival is given birth, or tbe entire system is modified and ohenpaned. Tbe Supreme Court of tho Uoiled States has decided that the Legislatures osn regulate the railroad rates, aud we presume when the matter is tested tho same principle will apply to tclegraphio companies. This fear will prevent extortion. It is said three plaus have been sub mitted, hut ss either wuuld do Ihe busi ness thoroughly of blooding tho public, it makes little difference to us outsiders which is adopted. Tbs later telegrsiuB state that a pool has been adopted by wbiob tbe Western Union tskcR H7J por oent. of tho business and tho A. A P. tbe rest. This looks like lbs A. A P. desired to sell out badly. AN ENORMOUS FAILURE. The permsnout exposition st Philadel phia has proved a failure. The daily ad missions havo averaged about 2,500, but of this very small number it is reported that au average of fully 1,(XH) were ex hibitors and employes, who paid nothing, so that the average oash rcoeipts havo been-about $975, against an average daily expense of about $450. Tbo organization was formed just after tbe splendid Cen tennial display, snd having been pleased with a grand exhibition, tlio people pro not to be caught by one of an inferior olaas The prosent is bnt a relic of the past one. The Philadelphians enler- tained an idea, or protended they did, that Congress gavo them tho million and a half for their big show. If this opinion bad prevailod they wonld havo had a fair capital to inaugurate the new festival. They Btarled with a nominal oapilal of $500,000, nearly tbo whole amount consisting of Centennial stock, which would have yielded $480,000 had not the Supremo Court deoided that mill ion and a half must he paid back to tho Government out of Ibe first earuings of the 1875 show. Tho Democrats had pass ed tho bill when running on economy, and tbe Rada taunted them with tho fsot that their bill gave money where it whs intended ss a loan. The Demoorats qui etly waited, made tho demand, the mana gers appealed to the U. S Supreme Court, and aa a o msequanoe those' in charge paid back Ibe mouey. The Kadi- oal holders of Centennial stock then smiled the other way. Owing to tho do oision only $150,000 was realized from the Philadelphia slock aud $105,- 000 in oash were realized. So the permanent exposition was finally opened with a oapital of $255,000 wbioh was bn) $15*000 more than tbe prioe paid for tbe main building, though that was sold at ranch leas than its origins) oost. This hardly left money enough to set the machinery in motiou, and advertise tbe objeot fairly. The ex- pneition has not been a taking one. They have lately changed Presidents snd de oided to keep the buildings open on Sun day, so ss to draw the working classes. This is an innovation in Philadelphia, but a good one. Io addition to many changes tbe managers are aolioiting new stock subscriptions with a view to a more liberal advertising. Philadelphia ought to keop np this exposition. She is rioh enough. Tbe country generally oares nothing for it, especially those of the South, who rarely atop in the oily for traffio or pleas, are because of her heavy Hadioal tenden cies. Unless Philadelphia opens her pooketa to a greater extent,her permanent exposition will be tbe biggest boat of the year. GEORGIA NEWS. —Mrs. John M.

The WuNhington correspondent of Ihe Cincinnati Commercial says, in reference to Keiuble’s card about Sobtuz : “Secretary Sohurz h«B made public bis roply. He has always been a poor man, aud oould not afford to drop bit* business to make campaign speeches without home compensation, but he has never received exorbitant pay for his services All right; uoone bus assumed to blame blur for it; but why did he deny receiving such compensation, and leave tho public to infer, as he moat certainly did, that he never took mouey except to pay hie neces sary expenses ? It was his denial of this fact, the truth of which be now adrnitH, that brought out Kemble’s revelations,rn * Sohurz has no one but himself to blame. The original allegation was that money was raised iu 1808 by (assessment upon national officeholders, to carry on the campaigu, and tbat out of (he fuuds so raised Mr. Sohurz was paid $11,500 for three weeks services I bis he denied iu a published interview, snd now that Kemble has proved the truth of his original charge, Sohurz virtually admits its truth by plead* ing that he was poor and oould not woik without pay. Tho point made by Kemble originally against Sohurz is thus made good, to~wit: that the zeal Shuts displays for civil ser vice reform and his hostility to assess ments upon officeholders for political purposes must have been of very recent origin, inasmuch as he pooketed no less than $1,500 cut of a fund so raised, at a period as late as 1808 He bad no scruples about such a method of raising campaign fuuds then, and that was the real point made upon bitn by Mr. Kemble. Uis donial of a fact so eaHilv proved was ns astonishing as his new-born z«al for civil service reform; and he cannot escape com ment upon it by setting up the plea that ho got no more than was his duo. That is not the point at issue; and the fact hoing established tbAt he did take com pensation for his speeches in 1SG8, and that his pay came ont of a fund raided from office holders, he is left to struggle with the dilemma wbioh this latter faot places him in. —Dr. Holland ia writing an essay, says tbe N.
