Gbace is about to bring over a team of twelve cricket players from Eogland, whiob, it seoms, is to be added to base ball. The Louisvillians aro organizing to re- oeive Hayos. It is resolved to invite the Governors of tbe tbirty-eigbt States of the Union end tbeir familiee. LiAfiox quantities of vanilla are being shipped from Sanford, Florida, to Savan nah. It Is mainly used by tobaooonists in tbe manufacture of Havana oigars.

Economist Uowabd is still redo> oing tbe army. Tbe telegraph shows bow adroitly ho got rid of 200 horses, too. No doubt these beasts were great consumers. Tbe Nasbvillo American, of ibe 18th inst., contains a list of eighty criminals of Tennessoo now running at large, and for whose arrest rewards amounting to #20,000 are offdred. Ex-Benatob A. G.

The Easpreu sarcastically alludes to Hooretary Hhermau's speeoh at Mansfleld ns a "general jail-delivery of ideas whioh have evidently suffered from long and olose confinement, and wear a deeidcdlj oonvict, if not idiotic appearauce. "What harm do you apprehend will come from the President's policy?" askod Mr. E. V. Bnmlley, the New York Trib use oorrospondent, of Old Ben Wade. The sorrowful answer was, "we've got to give up the government to tbe Demoorals. John G. Thompson, says the Washing ton Mar, chairman of the Ohio Demo- eratio Executive Committee, writes to a friend in that city that Hooretary Sher man’s speeoh will be of more advantage to the Deinoorata of Ohio than to the ltopublioans.

KNnOMKIt FOSI WHAT T Hon. A. H. Stephens, our correspond ent writes, desired the Convention ratifi cation meeting last night in Atisula to endorse Mr. Hayes. We really would like to know for what? Doea any true Georgian approve the 8 to 7 vote ? Do they endorse Mr. Key's erring brother and repentant rebel speeches in Now Eogland ? All like bis removal of troops from Booth Carolina and Louisians, but Sherman and all tbe rest say bo did that because he was compelled to aooept tbe inevitable—could not help himsolf. Besides, (bat was merely adopting Democratic policy. Of eonrne every one in tbe South could en dorse that, beoanse the principle there was one whioh Demooraoy, from its exis tence, has advocated. That has boon en dorsed from the beginning. Let us not com mence flunkeyiem. Mr. Hayes was not elected President, but wrs defeated by a quarter of a million votes. When we en dorse him we endorse the Louisiana lie turning Board and Joe Bradley. Mr. Stephens spoke as highly of President Grant when he was sustaining Darrell's midnight order as he does now of Mr. Hayes. That class of crow is not palata ble. Let a man be first elected before endorsement Is given. Endorsing for the good effeot it may have North is absurd. The effort would be too transparent. Tbe triok like that of a mule in the oirons would show too much whipping and train ing and beoome very monotonous. The straight forward oourse is best, end Mr. Hayes obtained bis position by too slip pery and devious ways for endorsement by tbe South. Subtifugos will not answer in the political games of the present age. THE REPUBLICAN PLAN. De Faoto, Booretary Bhorman is en deavoring to effect a diversion in Ohio from his hard money theories by introduc ing a new element by which he hopes to gain the votes of the strikers for tbe lte- pnblican tioket in Ohio. He proposes such railroad legislation by Congress as will fix tbe maximum of rates so as to protect tbe interests of transporters, and stockholders, and a minimum that will enable the companies to pay employes fair wages. His whole idea is to remove the thoughts of the people from his con traction sobemes and win votes for his party. He is cold-blooded and selfish, bolding personal aggrandizement above overy other consideration. As . soon Congress commences legislating upon every subject and endeavoring to dispose of the arrangements between cap ital and labor whioh wd! settle themselves nnder n stable condition of affairs, and overy other mooted subjeot, tb*s indeed will we have a centralized government of whioh the bayonet is the reoognized au thority. Labor disputes will regulate themselves uodor immutable laws of sup ply and demand. The plea of Mr. Bhor man is that of tbe demagogue who is playing for effeot. He knows Congress will enact no such law as that of which he BpeBks so glibly. At loost tbe ltepublioan •V jotily whioh has lulcd the country so many ^ --rs has essayed no such measure, and there is no likelihood that party ever will. All Mr. Sherman’s talk on this subjeot iB mere olap-trap. Genebal N. P. Banes, of Massachu setts, has bis plan for Battling tbe labor question. He proposes to appoint a com mission to colonize families from cities on the public lands of the West. Each fam ily is to have forty aorea, and to be pro vided with farming ntensils, breodiug stock, and one year's rationa by the Gen eral Government. All the Bouapartss having palaces and villas in Hume let lodgings. Prince Tar- lonai's great palaoe, once the property of Cardinal Wolsoy, is entirely let to lodgers. Prinoe Darberiui iota part of his palaoe to Mr. Btory—in short, the King, the Pope and the Cardinals are almost the only house-owners in the dirty, magnifloent old oity who do not let apartments. The United Btatea army regulation book fixes the salaries as follows: Colo nel, #194 per month; Lieutenant Colonel, #170; Major, #151; Captain, #118.50; First Lieutenant, $108.80; Be omul Lieutenant, $108.50; Brevet 8eo- ond Lieutenant, $108.50; Adjutant, $114. 50; Hergeaot Major, $21; Quartermaster Bergeant, $20; Hprgeant, $17; Commis sary Horgeant, $21; Corporal, 14; Private, #18. The Courier.Journal: At Windsor the other day, just as tbe Presidential train moved off, “a colored man took the hand of President Hayes, saying, T worked hard to make you President, meaning, of oourse, that he voted early and often, aud naturally expeoting Hayes to say in reply, “Give me your name and I'll send you forty dollars aud a mule,” but Hayes merely replied, "I hope you will never regret it,” and the train went on, leaving there upon the platform the moat thoroughily disappointed and dla guated negro that ever trod the venerable soil of Vermont At Louisville, Tuesday, Blanton Don oan and a young lawyer named Dave Goldman got into a fight. Goldman renta hia office from Blanton, and a quarrel arose between them about this subjeot, Blanton attempting to put Goldman out of the offioe. Goldman oalled Blanton a liar three times, and the latter struck him in tbe face. Then they had it for a few minutes, when they were separated, neith er badly hurt and neither having tnuoh the better of it, although Goldman, who is a heavy weight, tried to ait down on Blanton, who is also a heavy weight, “here were no arreeta. FltOM ATLANTA. CONVENTION AND A D A li B B. GOOD CONSTITUTION WnlOH WILL BE BATI- VIED BT 26,000 TO 40,000 MAJOBITI — BATIFICATION MEETING — HON. A. H. STEPHENS DESIBE8 MB. HATES ENDOUSED —NONE OF THAT FOB US—MEMDEBS PBEPABING TO LEAVE, AND ATLANTA IS $10,000 DETTFB OFF BT THEIB HAVING BEEN THEBE—AMONG THE CBAET—HAB- BIB 8TABTLED. HON. FKANCIN FONTAINE. Id regard to the remarks of this goutlo' man, respecting Columbus, which have boon bo oritloisod, the objection applies the same ss to tbo oourse of tho railroad monopolies. It wrs not so mnoh the remark as Ibe discrimination. Merchants do not objeot to railroad charges, but they do, moBt deoidedly, to tho preferences shown for other pluoes. New York is pros perous in a business sense, yet she has numbers on nnmborg of bouses tbst wil 1 not bring ffrat oost. Bo it is with Colum bus. Tbe more money a house has cost tbo lesB money it will bring proportion ately on the market. Few people now desire large commodious rosidonoes. They oan’t keep them up. Columbus is no more depressed than anyother oity in the ooun- try, less so than the vast majority,for Bhe shows real, substantial improvement, and at no time in her history more so than in the last few years. As roportod in Uoneral Toombs' speeoh tbe remarks of Mr. Fontaine had the oontraiy effeot, end to combat this was the objeot of all that has boon written. All too, ore oonfldont Mr. F’b statement was not intsnded iu tbe manner reported, but the effeot was the same, nod it requ'r- ed correction, and wo boliove ho would have done ao himsolf, bad he tbe time and opportunity. Iu the Convention Mr. Fontaine baa made a bard working nod useful member, who labored for tbo wel fare of his Btate. Lauobs Oveb.—The Constitutional Con vention of Georgia has oiosed its labors. All to be done to-day is mere formalism. A good Constitution has been prepared by onr beat men, and on the whole it is a grand instalment which the people will overwhelmingly ratify. It nuawors oveiy need of the people, makes provision for neoessary reforms, and speaks tbo voice of enlightened Georgia. The two most troublesome questions are to be disposed of by the pcoplo at an election subsequent to that on whiob they rre t& niguify n ratification or rejeotion of tbe Constitu tion. These are the homestead and tbo ioostion of tbe capital To the Constitu tion itself we do not believe there will be any opposition, for all must reoognize it to be fntile. Georgia oan say to her Con vention members, well done, good and faithful servants. Mabs has Moons.—This <s the import ant announcement from tho National Ob servatory in Washington as tbe resu't of the resesrohea through the big Dew tele scope. It's a le-ge thing for tho scien tists, and may be the means of discover ing results of vast moment to tbe world. One of these moons pranoei around Mars in thirty hoars and tbe o*'ier iu eight. Now they will eontend tbe planet is in' habited, and theorists will lecture by the aoore of nights, while the painstaking genios reeks hia brain for a deduction to enlarge the domain of tbongbt, which may enable tbe eotivo, enterprising in. ventor to pat into praotieal shape some thing for the benefit of mankind. 1 Be moons have been fooud. A nse will be found for them, though they are several huudrud millions of miles distant, Atlanta, Ga., August 24, 1877. There is a superstitious belief that it is bad luck” to commonoo anything on a Friday, bat that it is "good lack” to end on tbia day. Tbe Constitutional Conven tion will complete its labors to-day,and if the superstition will only worn out in this case we oan congratulate tbe people in getting a good result, even if $26,000 did not foot tbe bill. We think tho Conven tion has prepared a OOOD CONSTITUTION. While there are some parts of it that we do not fully oonour iu, yet it ia ao super ior to the "Uadical Hag” that we are now living under, that wo gladly aecept it, and to the framers who, without doubt, have worked bard, we say “thank you.” The next thing to be done is to pnblish it to the people and allow the cross-road- ers to folly diaonss it, and then all tbe sovereigns to give their approval or dis approval. BATIFICATION CEBTAIN. We prediet its acceptance by the people by a majority not ices than 25,000 and possibly 40,000. Tho two vexing ques tions, location of Ibe Capital and Home-. Btoad, have been left out of the instill ment and will have a soparato vote. BATIFIOATION MEETINO. To-night there will be a grand ratifica tion meeting, when the “Big Ikes” in and out of the Convention will give ns some thing to remember them for. . ALEOE STEPHENS DESWES THE MEETINO TO ENDOBSE BAYES. We were informed to-day that “Little Aleo,” who arrived here yesterday, is do. airoas that tbe meeting endorse His Frundnlenoy, H. B. Hayes. We told onr informant that be oertainly was in error, and that Mr. Stephens only wanted Hayes’ Houtborn policy endorsed. “No, no,” re plied oar informant. “Mr. Stephens wants Hayes endorsed aB President, I talked with him for an hour and know that he wanta Hayes folly endorsed." We hope there is yet some mistake, and that Mr. Stephens did not intend any suob notion to be taken. We don't think that we ought to endorse Mr. Hayes or his Southern polioy. We aooept bis “polioy” as individuals,may give him eredit for the good to os that may be iu it, yet it ia a bad thing for us to “endorse” him in this publio manner ; for he is a fraud and the Amerioan people ought to keep the foot before them. If Hayes is en dorsed,then the Presidency of the Kepub- lio is fixed to be stolen by those having tho inside track, whenever an opportunity offers. No endorsement for us. We don’t want any more President stealing, and we won't allow Mr. Hayes to buy us to his aide by any kind sot of biB. Let tbo people not forget that B. B. Hayes is fraudulently tbe ruler over tbe nation If he is forgiven and taken to the heart of tbe people, the making of fraululent Presidents will be tbe rule, not the exoep- tion. There is a mark upon him. Lot it remain, and let the shame be so great that no American will ever dare to at tempt to repeat the experiment. MEMBERS FIXING TO LEAVE. Tbe members of the Convention are hippy at tbe prospoot of getting home. They are busy paokiug up and in getting B supply of good things for the loved ones. It is estimated that the amount of dolls, jumping jocks, tin horns, whistles baby rattles and sic/i that will leave At lanta to-day and to-morrow wonld make a good stock to start a live business. Be sides these little things, tho members will takeoff $10,000 worth of substantiate, suoh os whiskey, brandy, oigars, oalioo, shoes, Ao. No wonder Atlanta wants tbo oopital here. We would not objoot to having one in Columbus, even if it did nfieot onr morals a little. It pays. That accounts for the milk in the cocoa Dut. AMONO TOE OBAFT. Wc mado some pleasant visits among tho craft yesterday and wore kindly ro- ooivod. Mr. Hemphill of the Constitu tion took ua through that establishment. Tho presses are too by an ingeniously oontrived water wheel, simple and noise, less in its movements. Tbo exponse, bent aud danger of a steam boiler and engine is done away with by a little water wheel, eucrsod in an iron box that oocnpies a space tbree feet long and one foot wide. Wo saw Harris. He*looks a9 “bloom ing as a green bay horse.” Intact be nppeors as if he was getting yonnger—so fresh and youthful he looks. He wanted to know who of the ENquiBEB wrs after him. We infoimed him that was out new man, who weighed 300 ponnds, and bad killed his father, two brothers, seven prize fighters and untold numbers of nig gers and Indiana. Ha>ris didn’t want to know any more, aud we didn’t tell the balance. If we had, bia hair would all haveoome out,and he would have neon as bald as Gs and Pa. BOTE OF MB. FRANCIS FONTAINE. Atlanta, Ga., August 22d, 1877. Editor Columbus Enquirer: Sib—I had at first concluded not to reply to the hypercritical criticism of your correspon dent “Colnmbns,” for I feel emred that no one'in my native oity wonld imagine that I wonld say or do anything detri mental to her past, present or fatnre. I don't propose to be “on the fenoe” on any important matters, end am not afraid to express my honest opinions, even when I know that a majority ia opposed to those opinions. Henee, when Mr. Screven, a prominent railroad offlotal,. sought to prove that Colnmbns, smong other oities mentioned, was indebted to railroads for bar prosperity, I denied it. Not being able to obtain the floor to reply to Mr. Boroven, I handed to Gen. Toombs, who bed the floor, a slip of paper on whioh was written, “Columbus prospered in population and wealth thirty years ago, before the day of railroads, more rapidly than she ever bes since." I repeated to h^m verbally—ts be did not seem able to rend it easily—tbe substance of it, and he understood me to say “in 1837.” That ia all of it. Heapeotfnlly, Fbancis Fontaine. BEUABK RECALLED* Edit ore Enquirer-Bun: Yonr criticism of yesterday upon Gen. Toombs’ state ment as to what Mr. Fontaine had said to him regarding railroad discriminations against Gohmbus reoalls tbe following remark whioh I heard Mr. John Fontaine, tbe father of Hon. Freneis Fontaine, make shortly before his death: “Columbns for the past twenty years has been in the futnre tense. I have at no time during that period been able to sell my house for one half it cost me to bnild it." Verb. eat. A Bubsobibeb. Edwabd Evebett ia tbongbt to have been tbe originator of mnoh that is vicions in oratorios! hnmbng. He onoe ordered the waiters, at a pnblio reception end banqnet, to leave standing before him, when they oleared the tables, a huge edifice of oonfeotionary decorated with two small flags. These at tbe proper moment in hiB speech Mr. Everett canght np, as if on a sadden inspiration, and waved about with a nice Iheatrieal graoe. The chronicles of tbd time record that Blips of the Boston Daily Advertiser oon taining Mr. Everett's oration neatly print ed in full, with braokets at intervals inn dieating “langhter” and “applause, ” ware brought in and laid beside Mr. Everett some time before he rose to “enthuse” the table. The Western Union and Atlantie A Pa-- cifio telegraph companies have entered into an arrangement to pool their earn- ingB for twenty years, and are now, as Mr. Orton says, praotioally one company. Competition wil] of oonrse be done away with and rates advaneed “not to snoh a degree as to oppress the pnblio," we are told, “but onlj so far as to seonre a fair profit to tho companies.” Later dispatch, es speak of a hitch.

New Yobk, Angnst 22.—The oompaot entered into by tbe Western Union and Atlantio and Paoiflo Telegraph Companies was eagerly disoussed in Wall street to day. It was announced that Mr. Syma, Vice President of the Atlantio and Paoific Company, had determined to apply to the oonrts for an injnnotion restraining the oompany from noting in the matter. The minor coaid not be verified, Mr. Syma doclining to commit himself. He stated •bat he saw General Eokert, President of tbe Atlantio Bnd Paoiflo Company, thiB morning, and that in this matter they were in perfect aooord. Whatever steps were taken with referenoe to the amalga- 1 mstion of the companies, the newspapers wonld learn in good time. President Orton said that there had been no negotiations between the rep resentatives of the two compa nies in the official eapaoity, for the sale and pnrobasa of the Atlantio and Paoiflo stnok. I have had a taoit under standing quite vagne and undefined for a week past, that if a satisfaotoiy arrange ment for the oo-operative working of the two companies was entered into, that we could pnrohase a majority of the Atlantio and Pnciflo stock if we desired to do so. Yesterday we porohased a majority of the capital stock of the Atlantia and Paoiflo Company, and now have it in onr onsto- dy. The pnrohase of tbe (took was to prevent tbo Atlantio end Peeifio Company from breaking out from this agreement. The now arrangement will prove advan- tageonsTo the stockholders of the' Atlan tic and Pnciflo Company, intsmnoh as they wonld now stand a fair show to re ceive dividends. Both oompaniee, al though working separately, would act In nuison, end eaoh wonld reap the benefits.

My wifohas been troubled with a bad humor lor several years, which she inherited from her parents. We have tried several physicians and a great many different kinds of medicine with but little benefit. She was so much emaciated that we had almost despaired of her ever being any better. Hear* ingot the Vkoktihb we resolved to try onoe more, and she commenced us ng It laBt March, and has been improving In health ever since. From 101 pounds she has advanoed to 185 poun s, having gained 31 pounds in seven months, and is now able to be about her work. Iu short, siio believes that Vbgktinb has been the means of saving her life, and that she can* not say too much In its praise.
