Volnme XLIV.-No. 27 The Weekly Enquirer. JOHN H. .'.Editor. oolumbusT THURSDAY ....JUNE 27, 1872. -Tmh« ef Nikarrlptln- One Tear In advance • $2.50. ARKANSAS. A friend at Little Rock eende ua a news paper slip containing the lint day's pro- ceedinga of the Democratic State Conven tion. Ho writes concerning the Conven tion that it was “the largest and moat in telligent mass of men ever aaatmhled in the State.” He also expressed the opin ion that the Convention would not nomi nate a separate Democratic ticket for State officers, but wonld unite with the Liberal Republicans—an opinion verified by the telegraphio report now before na. We copy some of the resolutions adopted: 3. That tho delegates apppomted to the Baltimore Convention, to meet the 2th of July next, be instructed to vote for the ratification of the nomination of Greeley and Drown as candidates for President and Vice President of the United States in the ensuing eleotiou. 4. That we endorse the Cincinnati plat form of political principles and the plat form of principles adopted by the Reform Republican party iu their convention of May 22, 1872, at Little Rook. 5. That it would be unwise and inxpe- dient for the Democratic party to nomi nate a State ticket for the ensuiug olec-< tiou, and we declare against it. 0. That the State Democratic Central Executive Committee be and hereby is au thorized to act with the like com mittees of all Reform Republican organi zations in this State opposed to the pres ent administration, in the conduut of the ensusing eanvaas. We learn from conversations that somo of our friends are attaching too much im portance to the second “Fifth Avenue Conference" which last week nominated Mr. Groesbeck for the Presidenoy. It was uot the conference called by Carl Bchurz and others, aa supposed by some, but only a squad of politicians who make “free trade" the paramount issue, and who were bolters from both the Cincin nati Convention and the Schurs confer ence, after being twice defeated in their efforts to give pre-eminence to thoir bobby. The conference called by Mr. Bchurz was very respectably attended, and the nearly unanimous expression of ita participants was in fsvor of abiding by the action at Cincinnati. No formal resolution to this effect was passed or of fered, as none was considered necessary after the individual expressions made.— After it had adjourned Judge Stsllo called a second conference of those only who were dissatisfied with the aotion of the first, conference—in other words, of the “soreheads" and bolters. This pestifer ous impracticable, Stallo, will eventually be found supporting Grant. The Washington reporter of the Savan nah Nctoi telegraphed on the 20th inst. that the opponents of Greeley and Drown in the Baltimore Convention would proba bly divido their votes between Groesbeek and Adams. Alt! then it is not s matter of principle, but only favoritism, that re strains them front auceptiug Greeley; for if Adams' politics differ from Greeley’s in any essential particular, the peoplo of this section aro not informed of it. The Helms eotton statement for last week exhibits a weekly receipt of only 112 bales; receipts of the soasou 52,000 bales; stock on hand 175 bales. The Atlanta “dead-beat" straight-outs held their election for another set of del egates to the Hlate Democratic Conven tion, on Saturday. They managed to poll 802 votes for their ticket—about one- third of the Democratic vote of the city— and passed a resolution caling for atraight Democratic nominations at Baltimore. The Bavannah Mews copies au article in favor of straight-out Democratic nomi nations at Baltimoro, headed with the qaery “Shall We Harronder in the Hour of Victory ?” When did the Democrats gain that “victory" you are talking about'/ The Columbus Enquirer doesn't be- lievo that Horace Greeley is iu favor of universal negro suffrage at the South.— Isn't this the season when the Martina homeward fly 't—Uacanuah Earn. No; it's tho season when “enrses, like chickens, como home to roost." The JV r em will “know how it is itself" on the 9th proximo. The Columbus Sun has several times of late twitted ua about tho “modesty" of Ilie Enquirer. Will the Sun state when we ever made any claim to superior “modesty"? Wo never made any such pretension in our life; end it is a little ungenerous in onr neighbor to bring •gainst as a charge which we cannot pos sibly retort upon our accuser. Somebody, aa we learn from the dis patches to the New York World, has been •ending to Washington accounts from Georgia which, to aay the least, lack con firmation. A dispatch of the 21et inst. •ys: “Advices received hero from Georgia Mate that the speeches of Judge Linton 'ions, General Toombs, and others, at the indorsement of Greeley and n by the Baltimore Convention, are having great effect. The delegation from that Bute to the Baltimore Convention will oertainly - be instructed to vote •gainst the Cincinnati ticket." The Marianna (Fla.) Courier of the 20th reports that the late drontb has so injured the corn crop of Jackson oonnty, that it is now tfonsidered capable of only ~e-tbird the yield of an average year; that cotton has not suffered so materially, and though the stand is inferior, the yield nay, with good seasons, be satisfactory. Ushm-II foanty Convention. A Convention of the Demoorstio and Conservative party of Roaaell oonnty wiU be held at Beale, on the seoond Monday, the same being the 8th day, of July, to select Delegatee to onr District Conven tion. It to raqueeUd that each Beat be represented. A. G. Jons, • Ch’m Dem. Ex. Com. Ben'Wood, according to a Now York dent of the Savannah RepubU- i to bet two to on that Greeley be ""ffllmltfl on the first at TIIK SIN AND MU. GBEKLEY—AGAIN. The question at issue between us and the Sun can be hrought to a point without following in the track of iu devious logie end evasive wanderings. It challenged tho ciUtion of “one single sentiment of Mr. Greoley in favor of enfranchising the virtue and intelligence of the South with out coupiiug it with the ignorance and vice of tLe South also." We furnished the “sentiment/' by quoting from Mr. carefully prepared “Bases of Recon struction" his ild ala ration that the thieving and vagrant negroes of the South had no right to vote and ought not to be allowed to vote. The Sun now says that M(. G. meant that the thieving and vagrant whites, aa well as blacks, should not be allowed to vote. Buppose that he did : docs that sustain the Sun'* original propo sition that he was uot willing to “enfran chise the virtue and intelligence of the South without coupiiug it with the igno rance and vice of tho South also" ? It show's, on tlio contrary, that he made thieving and vagrancy, whether on the part of white or black, a bar to privileges or rights which be was willing to accord to virtue and intelligence iu either race— the very reverse of tho chargo made agaiust him by the Sun. Now let us consider what would have boou the practical effect of this rule of Mr. Ufeeley, if it hud been adopted. The Sun evidently mount that'tho white race was the representative of tho virtue and intelligence of the South, while the black race was tho representative of tho iguo- ranco and vice ; and with some qualifica tion this is correct. If, therefore, the vice of the South was mostly to be found among the blucks, Mr. G.’s rale would have sensibly diminished ouly their vote. And obsetving men of the South need not bo reminded that if Mr. G.’s’ plan had beou adopted and faithfully carried out, as he u ished it carried out—if the thieving and vagrant negroes of the South had boon denied the right of suffrage by the now constitutions— wo would uot only havo had difl'ercut results of “recount, uc- tion," but ii very different stuto of. affairs at tho South to-day. But it will bo observed by those who remember or havo preserved tho quota tion which wo made from Mr. Greeley’s writiugs, that he was confining his re marks exclusively to the measure of en- frauehisemciit of tiro blacks ; the enfran chisement of tho whites was uot tho subject of consideration, becauso they had always hud the right of suffrage. Aud this brings uh to a consideration of the difference between vuir.crc.nl and ini- purtiiil suffrage, in regaid to which tho Sun is still obviously beclouded. Tho Constitutional Amendments—bad aw they were—did not require the Boiilheru States iu their constitutions to confer “univer sal ’ suffrage on the blacktt, but only “impartial" suffrage. The “universal" grunt was the work of the oarpet*baggers, assisted l»y the thievish and vagraut negroes to whom Mr. Greoley said the suffrage should not be extended. Ilsd exceptions disqualifying thieves and va- grautN been adapted, they would have met Mr. Greeley’s view, and would very litllo have affected the white race, while they would havo either made great iuroads in the ranks of the negro voters or have effected a wonderful reformation in the race—either of which would have been a consummation much to be desired. The render will bear iu mind that Mr. Greoley, iu the article referred to, did not propose au educational test of suffrage—on tho coutrary, ho expressly repudiated it. He was for impartial, not for vuicersul negro suffrage, and the exceptions which he proposed as • limitation upon universal suffrage would considerably have dimin ished the negro vote, without materially affecting the white vote. The reoorda of onr oourts and the acquisitions to our Ponitentiary rolls, since the war, will show to what extent it would have affected the voting strength of the two races. We have studiously excluded from this article any expression to whioh our neigh bor can object on uccouut of ita tone, in the hope that if he repliea to it he will copy it; in which case we will either copy his repfy (if of moderate length) or let it go unanswered. Tho Atlanta correspondent of the Sa vannah 3V»r« writes that Gov. Smith departed from the practice of selecting politicians to attend the examinations of the Senior Classes of the University, and that he has appointed the following gen tlemen—nil leading educators or distin guished for scholarly attainments—to at tend the examination next mouth of the Senior Class of tho University of Geor gia : Hon. E. J. Harden, of Chatham; lion. Nelson Tift, of Dougherty; Rev. J. R. McIntosh, of Moscdgee; Professor B. Mai loou, of Fulton; Prof. J. W. Gleuu, of Jackson; Co). G. W. Raines, of Rich mond; James T.

Bew Cattle.—If there is anything in thin world that excites our sympathies for a people, it is to know that they are oat of iue<jt. Hence we sent np toColambaa yesterday, a drove of 75 or ltMJ head of cattle, direct from the pastures of Florida. Wo hope they will all arrive safely, with the assurance to our neighbors of the Ban and Enquirer, that so long as we have • kine or a swine, wo shall share it with them. We have also forwarded to ibeir ad dress, per Puuch Donghtie, several fast and first-class horses. Among the lot the celebrated “Barbour Chief, who made bis mile here in 3:01, on a heavy track, aud if he had not been held in, would have made it iu 2:40. * Foot by all that k horse flesh, aud according to Bmitba.

We thank our Eufaula friends for the promise to share with ua, and hope that they will do it, even to the last cat-fish or gopher, for we fear that their brag cotton-buyer did not leave enough Eufaula money here to enable ns to bay Florida beef all the dull sseaea. But we must beg our frienda of the “Bluff City” not to claim magnanimity for suffer ing the passage through their little town of a herd of cattle that had alfhar been eeeured by the* enterprise of Oeinmbna batchers, or for wbigb Eufaula furatobotf ho market, - Seminary Paalatunent of a Nruro Wretch. The Hswkinsville Dixpatrh has a long account of the pursuit, capture, escape, recapture, and lue final fate of the negro Joe Phillips, who outraged Mrs. Charlton Lovett, of Pulaski county, last Thursday week. After great effort the negro was finally captured and taken to llnw kius- ville, reaching there Friday night. Tho Dispatch lolls tho rest of the story as fol lows : On Saturday Afternoon citizons of tho district iu which the crime was commit ted called for the prisoner, aud ho was turned ovor to them by Sheriff Fulghnm. He was to be taken before the magistrate district in whioh lie lived, and there stand a commitimnt trial. The party having him in charge lisd proceeded as far ns Big Creek bridge, where a large number of citizens—said to be from seventy five to two hundred—from various parts of the county had gat h< rad. Next morning Joe Phillips war found Imaging to nn oak limb a few foot from the load. He had suffered the ponalty of his crime. Tho punishment was summary, it iH truo, but uone enn say it was unlimited. Ho was more brute than liurnau; for bn it known that but s few yours ago ho whs sovorely whipped in tho sumo tieighhoiliood for at tempting to commit a similar crime upon another pets n. Ilia mother, too, on learning of his death the simio day, re joiced, for she entered her evidence against him as n mo t unnatural being. Large numbers of negroes from tho sur rounding country visited tho scene on Suuday and beheld him suspended as left tho night previous. They murmured not a word, for they deemed tho punishment just. [Vf In Tills limine Hitiital! , tin* New Vcrk Tribune, Ju «1S.] The Grant electoral ticket in this Btato four years ago was headed by Murshull O. Roberts aud Henry It. Holden as Honato- rial electors. They aro both now for Greeley aud Brow’n. Of tho twcuty-odd surviving of the thirty-one representative or district doctors, we know the present leuuiug of but twelve or fifteen. Of these, wo hoar that Edain A. Bteudwcll, Moses 11. Griundl, Elislm P. Wheeler, Horace Bom us, Eds in It. Reynolds, E. II. Judson, Stoughton l'ittiboiie and Nor man M. Alien, aro now supporting Gree ley and Browu. We hcliova a majority of tho entire Grant electoral ticket of 1868—that is, of thoso still living—will voto tho Cincinnati tiekol next November. What folly, ill view of such facts, to pre tend that the Roptiblioaii puny >s uoi di vided—that its solid vote is secure for Graut! Reforming the Senate.— 1 The Now York Evening Post sets foilh iu an able loader tho necessity of reforming tho Sen ate, concluding with this sharp, sotisiblo language: “Tlio Senators whoso term will n!o«o next March, and who should ho defeated by the Legislatures to lo elected ill purl or wholly next fall, are Spencer of Alalia- iua, Ohboru of Florida, Jdoituu of Iudi- uimi, Pomoroy ol Kansas, Kellogg of Lou isiana, Nyo of Nevada, (Juukling of New York, Pool of North Carolina, Sherman of Ohio, Cameron of Pennsylvania and Howe of Wisconsin. One of tho most mischovioUH of tho circle was defeated for ro-elcotiou last winter, when Mr. Win. B. Allison wuh chosen to tho scat now oc cupied by Mr. Hurluu of Iowa. Another wus left out lust year, whi n Mr. Hitchcock was elected in the place of Mr. 'i buyer, to represent Nebraska. Thoso examples ought to be followed up until not ouu of them is left. During all tho years that these men havo sat in Congress, not a single meas ure of nationul importance is pi iced to thoir credit, and nearly all of them have used their positions merely to influence the distribution of the public patronage among thoir favorites. Although they claim to bo Republicans, they are such only in numo ; they have constantly mis represented tho principles of tho party; they have divided its strength and d< foul ed the objocts for which it was founded, and which it has always kept iu view. The Republican party cunuot uffoid to uphold them ; iu every Btute where it undertakes to uphold them it ought to bo opposod by a combination of all honest men, whose purpose it shall be to restore tho Konato to its old character ior statusuianship, sod relievo the administration of its woiut enemy. Exact Bratus op tup. Cotton Tax Bill. In response to mauy enquiries upon the subject, from parties both North aud Smith who are interested in tho bill, the Washington Republican says it is still pending in the Ways and Meuns Commit tee, aud will bo reported by them curly in December hchkiou. Both Houses have boon committed iu a direct manner to its passage, and particularly to the unconsti tutional ity of tho tax. The defeat of the Morrill amendment to the Deficiency hill was the first indication of tho feeling iu favor of the proposition to refund. Tho groat Hulk of tho cases brought before the Court of Claims aro cotton cl inis, aud the fight against tho amendment was made directly hi the interest of tho cotton producing class. Tho next, or second, aud most conclusive ovidonco of the feel- ing in the premises, is to bo found in tho fact that the amendment to tho omnibus bill prohibiting the Bocrctury of tho Treasury from collecting tho two cent per pound ou cotton judgments obtained be fore the Court of Claims, was pawned I y the almost unanimous voto of both Houses, both political parties accepting and committing them'-elves to the posi tion origiuully taken by Mr. Ijawch and others, when the tux was first imposed, that it was not constitutional. The Cincinnati Pi.ATrojiM.—Tho Mem phis Appeal thus construes the platform of the Cincinnati Convention : “If we understand that document, it is for universal amnesty, for local self-gov ernment or State rights, leaving the peo ple of the several States to rogulato uud control thoir own affairs; for tho civil authority as snpromo over the military ; for upholding the writ of habeas corpus and trial by jury; for reform in tho civil service iu the Republic; for tho quostion of revenue or tariff to be decided by tho people through their representatives in Congress—uninfluenced by tho executive, but their action to bo indorsed by him ; for the reservation of the public lands toa actual settlers and occupants, and uot reekleoaly squandered on railroad oouipa- ■iee r the controlling sentiment in ell Ce il* to restore peace and fraternity to our whole people, that they may alike enjoy the benefits, privileges aud blessings of our matchless constitutional government. The Manchester Guardian publishes a statement by Mr. Thomas Thornber, rel ative to the loss of life and property by the earthquake at Antioch. Of 3,00.1 houses 1900 were totally destroyed and 894 damaged. Of 1,183 shops and ware houses, 734 were totally destroyed and 100 damaged. Eight hundred dead had beeu extricated from the ruins, and more were being found daily. The number- maimed Was uuknown. Two peiaota were found alive ufter having been buried beneath the rubbish eight days.

Ryan will first rally (lie coast guards, and immediately dispatch fleet couriers to tho iuterior of the island to announeo to trusted Cubans already aware of the approaching army of liberation, his arrival, and will, with all expedition, get together tho largest force he can for the purpose of protoutiug the landing of two expeditions which follow him without delay. Throe steamers put to sea tho same day, each ouo having the same destination, but the Fannie will reach tho rendezvous some littlo time iu advance of the others. The eutiro force amounts to full 1200 men, and alt of them are completely armed aud oquippod.— Gun.

More e.r- ]n iiit ions ore to follow the one air cud ft ctartea, und c trout/ hop cm are entertained that the [/rent object leill he accomplished Inftrttn now and the Presidential tltc- tion." Wo have italicized tho closing sentence of this remarkable exposition, because it throws a flood of light iipou a movement that wonld otherwise have been unuc- counluhlo at this juncture, nnd of the po lities! purpose it is intended to subserve. Ti»c revelations of tho Chronicle make it perfe» t'y evident that the whole gaum is understood nt Washington, and that tho cards arc packed for a political sensation. Failing to ride into office upon tho cxeitc- ntent of a quarrel with England, ortho credit of an altogether one-sided scttlo- iiiehl of the Alikbamu claims, General Grant is now disposed to make political nipit 1 by i spooring tho cause of Cuba, oven though it should result iu provoking n rupture with Spain. 'To this end the Unban iiisui reel ion is to be fed with fresh fuel, und Gob.

It is this “driving at something else” that tho Hpnniub Government has reason to uppvohcud, and of which the people of the United States ought to be forewarned.

Nevertheless, his expectations may fail as they have failed before. If bo supposes that u war with Spain would bo a light mailer, he underrates bis adversary. Cu ba, tbe Queen of tbo Antilles, is the only reiuuiuing Spanish possession worth keep ing ou this continent. The people of old Bpaiu cling to it with a fervor that, under the prospect of losing it, bus become a national piiHsion.

From the 8nn Fnuu-hio IluHetln, Juno 14 ] One of the great historic trees of tho world has juat disappeared through an act of vandalism, the inotivo for which it ie utterly impossible to discover. Every student of history will rnmember tho story of tho “Noche Trieste,'” or “Night of Grief,” when the AztecK, intimated et the discovery of the fell designs of the Spaniards under Hernando Covtez, the representative filibuster of all time, an- Hftiied bis forces with indescribable 1 my, cut it to pieces, aud almost succeeded in cutting otf tbe few survivors iu their e!i- cape from the City of Mexico, by tearing up the oauseway which led across the shallow waters of the lake to the main land, in the direction of Chepultepeo. Tbe Spaniards, hemmed in ou all sides, and flghtiug, hand to hand, with the en- orgy of desperation, forced their way along the causeway, step by step, and by throwing the bodies of tbe dead into the gaps in the canseway, succeeded at last in dragging*their artillery over them end reaching the solid land. Cortez, wound ed, disheartened and exhausted, halted uuder a great cypress tree near where the Gariata de Sau Cosmo iu the walls of the city was subsequently located, and there rallied the romnant of his forces for the retreat toward Tloxcala, where he found tho ullies who subsequently enabled him ‘ to reduce the city to capitulation. This tree wan always held in great reverence by the Mexicans, both t>y Spanish and In dian descent, nnd a church was erected by it in commemoration of the event whioh occurred there. The “Tree of Cortez" stood groeu and flourishing, tho’ forgo sections of its gigantic trunk were decayed, until last month, when some vaudal lillud tbe cavities with rags satura ted iu coal oil, set them on lire in tho night, and at dawn only n heap of »mok iug coals marked the spot where this grert historic lauduiark had stood. Pri vate letters received from the City of Mexico say that the greatest indignation was awakened there by the dastardly out rage, and the government and tho historic society had ottered rewards for the dis covery of the porpelrator of it. flow to Make the Dumb Speak. If a dispute ia going on, a woman, eveu ii she is dumb, will find her tongue to take part in it! What is more, she often gets the best of it. Long ugo, a king—or, ns some say, u very wealthy man, but it does not muttet- whicb, though a sounds better—had an only child, u daughter, tlie heiress of nil his wealth, who could not or would not speak, lie tried all means to cure hoi, but iu vaiu. At nt Inst he sent forth » proclamation that whoever, being of fit ting degroo, could restore speech to his daughter should many her, and eventual ly be lord of nil her father's wealth. Mauy tried, but all failed. At last *» prince who had » magical gift that of <3iiusing things inanimate to talk with hiu* - came forward and was admitted to tho hull where the princeas wus. He spoke to her aud tried to induce her to speak, hut answer got he noun. Now a lamp was hauging in the hall, uud to it the priuce good-lmtuoredly ad dressed himself. “Lamp," said he, “I will tell you a story.” “Soy on,” replied the lamp. “Well," went on the priuce, “four trav ellers—a carpenter, a painter, a cloth mer chant, and a jeweler—set out on a jour ney. By and by they camo to a rest- house, halted there, and prepared their food. The keeper of the rest-house had laid on the floor a log of wood, very suit able for oarving. Tlie corpenter seeing this, pulled out his carving gear and carved the log into the shape of a woman, life-size nnd exquisitely beautiful. Thu painter next took bfo brushes and colors, aud painted the figure till it shone as bril liantly fair as a goddess. Then the cloth merchant opened his packages, chose thu finest silks and embroidered robes, and dressed the figure iu his choicest bravery. The jeweler took gems, ear-rings, neck lace and bangles, aud all such tbiugs, and bedecked the figure with them. Last ol nil the figure was endowed with life. I do not take ou me to explain how that came about, but it was tbe fact!” “No more do I," said the lamp; but prny go on. I bate digressions." “When," continued the prinoe, “that exquisitely beautiful being bust into life, all tbe four fell violently in love with her and each wished to make her his wife.” “Why, I shaped that ui&tchleaa figure," said the carpenter, “And I bestowed on her that blooming complexion,” retorted the painter. “And I robed her," exclaimed the mer chant. “Bat what are yonr choicest robes to tho costly gems which were my gifts ? A woman is of little of account without jaw- els!" cried tbe jeweler. “Thus they went on clamoring and dis puting. Now, oh lump! who waa de clared to be the rightful owner ?” First the lamp said one and then anoth er, giving reasons—and whatever the lamp said the prinoe contradicted. The dispute waxed hot aud furious, but seemed never to come nearer to an end. The princeas beard all the dispute, and held her peace a long time. At laat she could bear to keep silent no longer. So she cried: “Yon are both Billy! The true owner was none of the four, but the keeper of the rest-house—for to him the wood she was made of belonged!" “Ah! yea,” eaid the prince ; “you are in the right, my princes3! And now that you have spoken, let me claim my reward and take you for my wife! " So they went before the king, who was enohanted with the cure, and they were married straight way, and lived happy ever afterwards— at least it is said the princes never gave her husband any causo after marriage to reproaoh her for too persistently-holding her peace! Two Doctor* Poisoned by Tenting a Prescrip tion. St. Louis, June 24.—The Republican lenvns by correspondence from Hermi tage, Mo., of a terrible poisoning case which occurred in the town of Wheat- land, Wednesday last. It appears that a young mau named Moore applied to a country physician for a prescription for tho cure of agne.

Moore took a doae and started for home, whioh he waa barely able to reach, nnd shortly after died. Drs. Redfleld and Barnes, who had been summoned by Moore's mother to qniet her fears that her son had been poisoned, each took a dose of the bitters and soon after started for home, but had proceeded ouly a short distance when Dr. Barnea waa taken violently ill, was compelled to dismount from his horse, and waa just able to drag himself home and died du ring the night. Dr. Redfleld, feeling pre- uiouitory symptoms of poisoning, spurred bis horse to the utmost speed, juat reach ed his house and fell insensible at tbe door.
