HF. HI Nil THE CLOVB ■■ THE RON ■TILE SHINING. The South hag been politically per fected, though suffering. This remark, made by a distinguished Georgian in our Opera House a few years ago, in a public address, wss never truer then now. The future oeema more bright and hopeful than even in what seemed our palmiest history. Vie have had our days that were dark and dreary, but tbe beauteous bow spans the horizon as a signal the storm has passed. All the clouds that lowered above our bouse are in the deep bosom of the ocean buried. In politioal feeling and opinion the South ia a unit, and in theeounoilsof the nation has a power and influenoe whiob has never been surpassed in her proudest an nals. She demands nothing but wbst is right and just—only equal patronage with that whioh has bean lavished so freely on other sections. Her people en masse be long to the only national party in this oountry, the Democratic, and all the end they aim for is (heir oountry’s good. They are true and loyal to tbe Constitution, and yield in love snd veneration to the time- honored principles of Government to none. The South bolds the balance of power in this oountry, and wields It, and intends doing so for tbe oommon welfare. She has gained tbe position in direct opposi tion to the ltepublican party. That or ganization, to defeat the Confederacy and fill tbo shattered ranks of its army with blacks, freed tbe slaves. After tbe revo lution they made the freodman a voter to doatroy tbo supremacy of the Southern whiles, firmly establish on ourseetfon and perpetuate the rule of Republicanism. By this they increased the Southern rep resentation Ihirty-fivo members in the lower House of Congress and the same nnmbcr of votes in tbe Eleotoral College. They dreamed, poor, deluded souls, that ednoation and wealth would be forever under tho fetters of superstition and ignoranoe, and the Southern world, at least, would go baokwarda. How all their sohemos have reaoted to their disoomfiture. The Democrats have oupturod those thirly-five votes, and led and animated by Georgia,the entire South has boon redeemed, and presents an al most unbroken front. Stirred by their example tbo Democrats of the North, with their allies, have very nearly obtained control of tbo Uoitod States Senate, and m two years more it will be more of national representative body than at auy previous time in tbe last sixteen years. At the same timo, these schemes of tbe foiled ltepublioans have given ns the obeapeBt labor on earth. Farmers are no longer troubled with olothing, food and medioinek of their employes. These now oumo from tbo wages of the laborers, who appear oontented under the arrangement. Now that bad men who fostered and enoonraged difficulties to provoke bloodshed, and piotnred imagin ary horrors to fire the Northern heart for party effect have fallen from power, tho raoos are living in peaoe, friendship aud harmony. Aa a result, tbe onoe at tractive ballot has lost Ub oharms, and the froedmen had rather til the fields than spend the days in voting, and even when they ohoose to exeroise the privilege they go willingly with the better olaas of em ployers. So mnoh for tbe frustration of ltadioal plana. The reanlt is qniet reigns end the land teemB with bounteous har vests. The blaoks are being eduoated by the States. In process of time this will furn ish a butter informed olass of labor and the tenant system he more universally adopted to tho advantage of the aonntry. Having this, immigrants will be attraoted thither, for there will be no eanse for the old prejudice against the ignoranoe of the oommon band. They will then know the schoolmaster is abroad and all oan share his teaohing, oaoh raoe separate to its plaoe. Out soil and olimate are superior to auy on earth, and tho States are pursu ing the oorroot course to draw population and wealth. The South has regained her politioal prestige, and the future is bright with hope and prosperity. The rainy days have past, so he still sad heart and oease ropining. We have beaten ltadioalism with its own woapons, and while the labor of the North was on the verge of revolu tion a short time sinoe that of tho South was still and plaoid as the oalm of her summer skies. Talk hopefully, leave doapomlenoy where none oan see or hoar it, speak of tho pleasant features that are ao abundant, and loavo tho vales of gloom. Cheerful faces and words will wonderfully aid tho prosperity. Blight, bravo words and acts over produce benefioent offeota, and one oxhilarating nature is of more uso to the world than hundreds of croak ers. Georgia aim. -Gen. Holt and others, of Maoon, are in New Hampshire. —The Griffin News announces the deetb of Miss Lizzie Logan, aged 18 yeers, of tbet plaoe. —Mr. Lee Perkins, of Monroe county, will make five thousand bushels of corn this season.

The Judge wants a fee badly. —Miss Lina King, of Angnsta, was shot and seriously wounded on Sunday by a man named Frank O’Brien. There seems to be donbts as to whether the shooting wss accidental. —A little ohild was ran over by a trook snd it is thought fatally injured in Savan nah on Saturday, and tbe next day anoth er small boy was straok in the face and severely hnrt by a rook shot from an Ala bama sling. The perpetrator of the deed, Jnlitn Shepherd, has bean arrested. —In Early oonnty recently three white men attsoked a negro in his honse, firing a pistol through the door. The negro re taliated by shooting and seriously wound ed one of the men with a sbot-gnn. He was arrested, tried and discharged. One of the white men waa arrested and held to bail. Telegraph-Messenger ; A oolored preacher of the Baptist denomination, named Jim Evans, mnrdered Antoinette Felton, a oolored girl, near Winobester Station, on the Southwestern road, in Maoon oonnty, on last Saturday. Evans' wife was a sister of tbe deceased. The deoeaaed was about sixteen years old, and when thirteen years of age bore a ohild to Evans. Bhe baa of late been reoeiving at tention from a yonng negro man in tbe neighborhood, against the consent of Evans. Not liking the proceedings, he said be would kill her before she should marry the yonng man. On Friday night the girl Antoinette went to ohnroh in oompany with the yonng man. She spent THE NEW CONSTITUTION. An Interview Wills Hen, A. H. Rte phene, Whe rally Enderoes the lew Censtltnttra. Angatta Chronicle and Oonitltntlonnlllt.] Angnr—Well, Mr. Stephens, what do yon think of the new Constitution ? Mr. 8.—I like it very much an a whole. It is mnoh better than tbe existing one, snd better, I think, then any we have ever had—even superior to that of 1798. Specially do I like that portion whioh se cures perfect eqnality end protection to life, liberty end property to ell alike, and whiob ensures equality, before the lew to ail alike, without regard to raoe or other conditions. Angnr—But, Mr. Stephens, is it not defective in that it fails to aeenre tbe M. Hlang, tho great gambler, waa bur ied at Paris, on the 11th, the funeral services taking plaoe at tbe Choroh of St. Booh. The fnneral was one of the grand est Paris bad seen for a long time, the ohnrob being elaborately decorated with silver-fringed draperies, lights and flow, era, the o»ffin hidden beneath wreaths and bouquets, aud the funeral oar (the same whioh was employed at tho interment of the Due do Moray) drawn by six splen didly caparisoned horsos, lod bypigueurs. Opera stars sang tbe ohoral parts of the servioe, and fourteen mourning ooaohea followed the ooffin to Pere-Laohaise. A mass was also oelebrated at Monaoo> whioh was attendod by more than two thousand people. M. Blanc's fortune exceeded $17,800,000. Large oharitable bequests are made, $200,000 to the ohnroh whoro he waa buried, $100,000 to the in firm priests of Marie Theresa, a like gift to the Chapel of la Grande Boquette, $80,000 to the poor of tbe First Arron' diseuieut, and ao on.

Aooobdino to the Austin, Texas, Ga zette, “the Texas Paciflo ltailroad Com pany have, within tbe last few days, for feited their immense land reservation from a failure to ooustruct their road from Fort Worth to Weatherford, in pur suance to the terms of their charter.

Searoh waa made, and the body found in the woods near the road, with the head almost completely severed from it. Evaoa has been arrtsted and ia in jail at Marahallville. There is no doubt of bis gnilt. He is a Baptist preaoher, and baa been in good standing for seve ral years, and lives at Oglethope, Maoon oonnty. The Milledgeville Recorder has this : Prof. Joseph LeConte.—This well known scientific and literary gentleman, at prej sent a citizen of California, spent a few days in this oity, daring the past week. His visit to the East waa induced by the pnblioatlon of a new work, mainly soien - tiflo, which he has been anperintending in the oity of New York for the past three months. On his return to California be took in Colombia, S. 0., and Milledge ville, Ga., where big daughters, Mrs. Davis and Mrs. F. 0. Forman respectively reside. The brothers, John and Jossph, are well known as professors, formerly of the State University, subsequent ly of the South Carolina College and at present of the University of the State of California. They are native Geor gians, and graduates of onr State Univer sity. They are widely known as cultiva ted obristian gentleman, and eminent lit erary and scientific men. They have not been inaptly termed (alliterative as well as literate.) Siamese Scientists, for they oling closely together, and refuse to be separated. They are as devoted one to tbe other, as to their Soientifio pursuits. Georgia ia proud of such boob ; and it would be well for her if they oonld be persuaded to return to their first love. Prof. LeConte left on Saturday for hia distant home. He bears with him tbe best wishes of ohr people for bis safe ar rival at home, and happy reunion with his family, after so long an absenoe. ALABAMA NEWS. —Judge A. B. Manning, of the Su preme Conrt, left TneBday for Now York. —Tbe fifty-third volume of Alabama Reports is rapidly approaching comple tion. —Artioles of impeaobment have been filed in tbe Supreme Court against Judge Morrow, of Jefferson eonnty, Ala. —The grand jury of the Conrt of Quar ter Sessions' of Perry oonnty have im peached Joseph Q.

D. Fry has nooepted tbe po sition of Principal of the Pnblio Sobools of Montgomery, whioh waa unanimously tendered him by the Board of School Commissioners, —A fire ooenrred in Mobile on Monday morning, destroying the stores Nos. 32, 34, 38, 38 and 40 Sonth Commeroe street, occupied by J. H. O’Hara in the first two and A. A. Vow A Co. in the others. The amount of damage has not been ascer tained, but the insnranoe on the buildings and stook is $27,500. Several narrow es- oapes were made by firemen from falling walls, but no one was injured. —Tbe Granger warehouse in Union Springs was burned early Monday morn ing. The bnilding belonged to Leman, Dnrr A Co., bad lost been rented by the Grangers, and Mr. Horae bad reeently moved into it to takeoharge of tbe business. There wee no cotton in it at the time, bnt there were three very fine gins, one be longing to Mr. J. B. Rogers snd two oth ers belonging to Mr. J. W. Webb, whioh were totally destroyed. Mr. Horne's loss will be about fifty dollars. Clearly in cendiary. —A difficulty ooenrred at Evergreen, < n the Montgomery and Mobile Railroad, on Saturday evening last, whioh resulted in the killing of Depnty Sheriff Ashley, by a man named Barns. It appears that Burns bad been boasting daring the day of his intention to kill or whip somebody, and late in the evening, while Ashley was en gaged in playing a game of billiards, he prooeeded to execute his threats by plao- ing a pistol against Ashley's body, after some words, end shooting him through the bowels, front which he died almost instantly. There bed been no previous qnarrol between them, Ashley being e citizen end officer of Monroe oonnty. Burns wee arrested daring the night liens or mechenios end laborers, who ere, by the existing Constitution, entitled to liens on all property on whioh they work? Mr. S.—No, sir. The provision to that effect in the existing Constitution has no business there. It is proper subject mat ter for the lew makers bnt not for tbe framers of a Constitution Anger—Has not tbe Convention gone too far into detail ? That is the general complaint. Mr. 8.— I don't think it baa, I would not have cared if it had gone farther in' that direetion. Anger—How about tbe provision af fecting railroads ? Mr. S.—Well, I don't think the provis ions relative to them allowing the Login latnre to regulate freights, eto., amounts to mnoh either way. It merely asserts a right which ths State already posse a right whioh most be examined with justioe towards the railroads. Anger—Whst do yon think of the olanse relative to lobbying ? Mr. S.—That provision making lobby ing a penal offense pleases me very mnoh. It Is a good move in the right direetion. Anger—Do yon like tbe provision al lowing appeals from one jury to another ? Mr. 8.—Yea ; it ia a return to the old praotiee, and in its working it insured justice. Its adoption will greatly lessen tbe labors of the Supreme Conrt, the doeket of whioh is over-orowded nnder tbe existing law, and will bring the ad ministration of jnstioe boma to tbe peo ple. Its adoption will prevent so many motions for new trials having to be dis posed of by the Oironit Judges aa is now the oase, and a party who ia oast in the first trial, and who thinks he has not ob tained jnstioe, oan on the appeal have a full opportunity to present hia entire case. I also like tbe privilege the pro posed Constitution gives of allowing par ties who are too poor to pay coats in Su preme Conrt to make affidavit in forma pauperis. That is aa it should be. I am also greatly pleased with another olanse affecting the Judiciary; I mean that whioh makes tha jury, in eriminal oases, jndgea of the law aa well as of the faots, The Supreme Conrt has virtually abroga ted the existing law whioh entitles juries to tbe same power, bnt this provision in the Constitution will annul these deci sions and will put juries in possession of tbiB power whiob rightfully belongs to them. Anger—Don’t yon think the Gonven lion made a great mistake in redneing the salaries of the Jndgea. Mr. S.—I think it was a mistake to eat down the salaries of. tbe Judges, or Legislators or the Executive, bnt it seems to have been done nnder the impression that it was yielding to tbe imperative de mand of the people for retrenchment, will aeenre tbe onrtailmnnt of a large amount of annnal expenditure. I have made no exaot estimate bnt I believe the onrtailment of salaries end expenditures proposed by the new Constitution will save folly $200,000 annually to the State. Anger—Should not some uroviaion have been made by whioh ohums againt the State might be passed upon otherwise than by the Legislature? Mr. S.—Yea, air; that waa a mistake, The new Constitution should have eatab- lished a tribunal for the trial of claims against the State, bnt, in this respeet, it w no mote defeotive than tbfi existing Constitntion, end if in the fntnre this omission and the onrtailment of salaries shall be fonnd to work in jnstioe end in convenience, all this can ba remedied by amendment properly made. Anger—Do yon like the Idea of biennial sessionsjof the Lrgislatnre ? Mr. 8.—Yes, sir. That ia a good pro vision, as also is the portion limiting the number and regnlating the salaries of tbe olerks in tbe Executive and other depart ments. Tbe election of tbe State Honse offioials, tbe Seoretary of Btate, Comp, trailer. General, Treasurer and Attorney. General by the people is right, and heartily approve of it, aa I also do of the provision potting the eleotion of the Judges in the Legislators, and by the whole Legislature. The provision lessen ing tbe patronage of the Governor is wise, Anger—I suppose yon approve of the olause whioh direota that no money shell be drawn from the Treasury exoept by a vote of the majority of members elected to eaob Honse? Mr. S.—Yes, sir. I like that very mnob. It is, I think, e new feature in Auierioan Constitutions. Angur—Whst do yon think of the pro hibition against speoial legislation ? Mr. S.: That ia right. It has been truly said that Legislatures cannot be chained down too mnoh, I don’t think the Convention has gone a step too tar in that direotion. I also earnestlly approve the prohibition on municipal corporations and oounties from inearring debts exceed ing seven per oent. of the assessed value therein, and requiring them first to pro vide for repayment of the debt about to he incurred. I wanted Gen. Toombs to introduce a measure prohibiting snoh cor porations or counties from incurring debt unless two-thirds of tbe grand jnry should first recommend it. Anger: What about the prohibition against making new eonnties? Mr. S.; There should be no more new oounties. I wish, however, the Gonven- tion had increased the membership of the two HoaneB of the General Assembly. I wonld have a Senate of one hundred members, and a Honse of two hundred, bnt in this respeat the proposed Constitn tion does not differ from the existing one. Anger—Mr. Stephens, do yon like the educational provisoes ? Mr. 8.—Yes. They do nothing, that is, they do not disturb existing systems. There is one provision in this oonneetion whioh I heartily endorse. It is that whioh allows the General Assembly to make ap propriations for the benefit of tbe Uni versity for the oolored people in the-same way as for the whites. Anger—Of ooarse yon are pleased with the provisions relative to taxation ? Mr. S.—Yes, it is the best provision to that offoet ever incorporated in any fun damental law in the history of civiliza tion. Anger—Does tbe homestead snityon Mr. S.. The homestead provision has perhaps been disposed of as well as i' could havo been, by submitting it sepa rately to the people. I prefer the new homestead, as proposed, to the existing one. but I wish it had not allowed the head of a family to waive it. The family should be insured against destitution, even Bgaiust the eat of its heed. Anger: Do you favor tbe removal of the oapital ? Mr. 8. ; Well, that question has also been disposed of beet by submitting it, separately from tbe Oonatitutian, to tbe people. For myself I prefer Atlanta. Here the dinner bell rang and th$ bor ing prooess wee stopped. Evidently re lieved et this cessation of hostilities, Mr. Stephens wheeled his chair in which he eat out of the room, remarking, “As I said before, I like the proposed Constitu tion as a whole, and think it will be adopted. I doubt if there will be any organized opposition against it." —A gentleman, just returned from on extended trip through Southern and Southwestern Georgia, and as far as Union Springs, in Alabama, says tbe drought is almost nmversel. Ootton, how ever, though smell, Is looking well, but the corn has been wofuily out off. Tbe Insidious Foe to Health, An atmosphere Impregnated with tbe seeds of malaria, la rendered harmless by the Umely use of Hoatetter’s Stomach Bitters; end If a re sort to this benign protective agent has on. wisely been deferred until the fever fits have developed, It will have the offset of shocking them and preventing their return. This state ment Is corroborated by thousands who have tried this medicine for fever and ugna and billons remittent fever, besides affections of the stomach, liver and bowels peculiarly rife in malarious localities. Throughout the West, Indeed In every part of the American conti nent where malaria prevails, It la the aooepted specific.
