il« ticket for Jaraon “subject to the de-
riaion of tho State Convention.” Itut
then we find in tire Savannah AdeertUcr
(another Janion paper) of the 2d inat. a
dispatch of tho lat from Atlanta, which
fiayi* that Mr. Jnrao*' friend* atate that
“if the people have a froa espreaaion he
will abide tho reanlt of the Convention."
Now, what is to provent the peoplo from
having a 'Tree expression” if they desire
«>ne? Is thin qualification intended to
jmv© the way for a eoiirne of aotion al-
ready determined on ? The people will
bo belter able to inako a “free expres

whether lie intendn to abide by their de-

The agents of the Telegraph have rov-
end'times startled us by thoir ingenuity
in the invention of new worda to ex|M*-
ditn their business, Generally wo Imve
baeu able to see “the point,” nnd to ac
cept the innovation an an expressive ami
luhor-saving idea. Hut we protest, in tho
names of Webster and Walker, that this
word “telescoped," as descriptive of a
collision of focnmntivcH on a railroad,
“gets us.” We havo studied the word ill
its derivations, its indentions uud ifa
analogies, and “still we are not hnppy"
in the elucidation. If thorn is a techni
cality involved, wo hope that sonio one
in tho secret will rise to an explanation.
If a pun is concealed, the joke is a very
grave one, for it is generally significant
of crushed bodies and mangled limbs;
no that solutiou is hardly admissible.-
I'oHsibly we are coufoaaing ignorance in
tliis matter unbecoming an editor; but
we are an nnxioiis seeker aftor light on
tho subject, and wliat wo want to know
is, how does the word “telescopod" ex-
plain a collision of trains or engines on a
a ml road V
the Peabody Kami.
A report of tho late mooting of tho
Trustoos .of tlio lVabody Educational
Fiiud says that l>r. Hoars stated that the
total amount appropriated since the last
meeting, in February of last year, was
#141,350, mid thut the amount contribu
ted by tho people thcuiaelvee iu connec
tion with those donations is probably not
less than $700,000. He said that dona
tions are nut mudo to colleges, acadouiies,
or to any private, seorutarian, or oharity
hcUooIk, but only to well-regulated free
schools, continued about ton months iu
the your; and iu tho fullowiug ratio: To
sclioola having a tegular attendance of
not lees tliau KM) pupils averaging 85 per
ceut., #300; 150 pupils averaging 85 per
cent., $150; 200 pupils averaging 85 per
cent., $000; 250 pupils averaging 85 per
cent., $800; ;U)<» pupils averaging 85 per
rent., $1,000. For colored schools two-
thirds of the above named rates arc paid
nt prosenl. In all other rospecU the
regulations nre the same as for tlie white
# schools.
The Griffin Acim publishes a speoial
dis|>atoh from Atlanta, stating that there
wan considerable controversy on the 1st
inst. over tho card of Mr. Jamea announc
ing himself aa a candidate for Governor;
that many contended that he would ran as
au independent candidate, while others
coutauded that he would abide by the ac
tion of the Convention; but that in an is-
tervlew iu tho afternoon, James assured
the correspondent that he submitted his
name to the Convention and would abide
the reault.
Does this settle it?

Tuesday next, the 8ib iust., in the dis
appointed for the m«eting of this impor
tant |Kilitical Convention. AU the present
Indications warrant the belief that it will
bo ono of the most largely attended rep
resentative assemblies of the kind ever
held iu this country.
The popular meetings and State Con
ventions already held seem to have settled
iu the negative tho question whether this
Convention shall noiniuate Democratic
candidates for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency. The party has uumi-tnkfiU)
declared in favor of political bfHii.ition
with the Liberal Republicans. Hut a
question not so well determined is,
whether the llaltimorn Convention shall
formally accept tho Liberal Republican
nominees, or only indicate a preference
for them and make no formal nomination.
We see that the proposition has been
in ado in Missouri—in which Htute tho
movement in favor of Democratic and
Liberal Republican union received its first
impetus—that the llsltimore Convention
should not formally iiominate Greeley and
Drown, but only indicate distinctly that it
ia sympathy with the Liberal Republican
cause that prompts the policy of (unking
no nomination. We believe that this
course will be as acceptable to the Demo
crats of tho South, who havo opposed a
party nomination, ah tho formal nomina
tion of Greeley and llrown. It will per
haps lie more agreeable to tho minoiity
who have contended for a distinct Demo
cratic nomination, because it will relievo
them of the senaitivo consciousness of , interests of tl
being forced cither to support men whom J the poopl
they have hitteily opposed, or being left , disoord w
behind by tho party iu its now movement, j wisdoi
Notwithstanding all that bus boon said, oppre:
wo do not believe tint there is one South- I ,South,
orn Democrat iu a hundred who w ill
support Greeley in preference to G
and they will probably do it inoiecl
fully if left to take thoir own course m it j ,
without regard to parly obligations. Wo
behove that the deductions of culm rdimm
ing and the promptings of patriotism will
prove stronger than uny parly ordi rs. We

most cH'oolivo und conciliatory, and we

The Ska at Thrkk Milks Depth.—
The submarine investigations carried on
at Government expense, under the direc
tion of the British Aeaoeiation of Hoi-
enoe, have disclosed some interesting
facta in relatiou to the character of the
bottom of the sea.
These researches have been carried on
by means of a small dredge—a rectangu-
bur frame, forming the mouth of a bag of
netting, which is protected from wear by
a leather or canvass flap. The whole ap
paratus, attached to a rope of suitablo
length, ia dropped to the bottom of the
sea and dragged along at a certain dis
tance, scraping on the superficial layer of
mud or saud iu the bag, the meshes of
which permit the dirt to he washed
through while the larger substances are
retained and brought up.
The depth at whioh the bottom of the
sea has been thua explored is really enor
mous, amounting in one instance to more
than three miles, far exceeding that of
any previous experiment with the dredge,
though small quaatitiea of sea bottom
have been brought from equally great
distances from the surface by means of
the Bounding line.
At this great depth many species of ma-
nne animals have been found, some en

It is seldom that foreign territory,

Rawer except at tho expense of blood and

the cause of long and bloody wars, aad
the mere proposal (o take poaaeasion of

modern times called nations to arms.
The most notable exception to thia rule
of w hich we have knowledge has bat re

that probably not one in a thousand of
those directly interested are apprised of it.

Annual Rkfoiit of the Ktatk Road

The gross earnings were $1,38 7,742.(50,
nnd the expenses $1,(578,705.11, or #281,-
022.51 more than the earnings.
Thu road whn iu bad fix. It is now in
very good fix. Twenty six miles of new
iron have been laid, atul seven new en
gines, 215 new box ears and twelve now
coal cars bought. Forty miles more of
new iron nre needed. There are twenty-
six bridges, aggregating 5,550 feet long.
These are being covered. The road has
lost business because much Western
freight and travel that used to go over
the IStnte Rond goes by the Dalton and
Soliun Road, the Alabama and Chattanoo-
gn Road and North and Houth Road.
Other railroad enterprises threaten fnr-
liter loss of business which the leasees
must counteract, the Air-Line Road from
('hailotte to Atlanta, and tho roads from
Columbus to Chattanooga, Griffin to Bte-
vonsoti, Macon to Kuoxville, and tha
Georgia Wostern Road.
They propose to encourage minufuctn-
riug enterprises and secure freight lines
to the West. They have already taken
steps to secure a liuo to St. Louis aud to
Cincinnati.
1'resident Brown urgea the lessees to
push forward aud put the road in first-

Would James do any ffetter? Gould he at

Could he render null and void the acta of

Gekmaivs in Califobnia.—In Los An
gelas oounty, Cal., there is a little Ger
man town called Anaheim. Ita first set-
tleiusnt and subsequent growth show how
the thrifty German, industrious, hard
working and indspsndant, prospers on
that soil of fruits and vineyarda. Ana
heim was laid out in 1858, when eleven
hundred scree were purchased and divid
ed into twenty sere lota. An irrigating
oanal, ten miles long, was constructed
from the Santa Ana river to the town.
The whole settlement was German, aud
immediately turned its attention to grape
raising and wine making. Anaheim is at
prsaent one of the moat flourishing, as
wall as one of the neatest and most
eharming villages in California. Though
now only about fifteen years old, it has its
churches, sohool houses, stores, shops,

"A Radical NTuoeb in Office.—There
is marked foeling among the working

cognizant of tbe fact, at the retention at
the capitol of a negro who was installed
into office by Bullock. During tbe reign
of Rufus, be waa the surliest of Radical
niggers, and everybody supposed that
when Smith was installed, he would be
promptly discharged. Instead of this he
has been retained, although there are any
number of one-armed and one-legged ex-
Confederate soldiers, to whom the posi
tion (that of usher) would be most wel
come. This is a very small matter, some
may think, but the poor fellow whose
family is suffering, and whose misfortunes

think so; neither do the mechanics end
