WIint Inspires the Appointments.
Leo, the WaHhington correspondent of the
Charleston Conner, asserts that the chief idea
controlling Gen. Grant's removals from and ap
pointments to office, is a deadly hostility to An
drew Johns on. Grant cannot tolerate anybody
who has hail connection or association with
Johnston in any shape, and will wage a war of
extermination against all the latter’s appoint
ment*—be they good, bad or indifferent. Grant’s
quarrel with Boss, this correspondent says, was
due to the simple fact that Boss voted against
tho conviction of Johnson in the impeachment
trial, and the appointment of the notorious Ash
ley to the Territory of Montana, notwithstand
ing Ashley's known venality, was due to his sym
pathy with Ashley in the impeachment. Ashley
was the father of impeachment
This correspondent also takes another view
which diadoses a degree of personal intolerance
we should be sorry to impute to tho President
The writer says :
Then again, there were some Republicans
who thought that the welfare of the country
would be subserved by the election of Chief Jus
tice Chase to the Presidency. Upon such men,
who are unfortunate enough to be in office here,
proscription has fallen with a heavy and tyran
nical hand. One more illustration of the mo
tives governing the appointment to office is
found to-day in the removal from sn office of a
person who had been appointed, by the request
of ex-Secretary Seward, and for that reason only.
MzcrwrmzB Sranro. —The Columbus Bun
says thc-so watering-places, situated iu the
mountains of Meriwether county, Georgia, will
he opened on the let of May. The spring is a
bold gush of strong chalybeate water, pouring
forth 120 gallons per minute. Ite health-giving
properties have been tested by thousands. Tho
location is very beautiful. Grounds and cabins
havo been throughly overhauled, summer
houses erected in various quarters, and every
arrangement perfected to secure heath or pleas-
i ure.
Anotuue Lae* Caere—Pbobault.—A corres
pondent of the New York Journal of Commerce,
evidently friendly to the Cnlurns, in a letter
dated Havana, 17th instant, concedes that “the
government has obtained advantages which have
proved injurious to the hopes of Cuban inde
pendence.” lie says: “The constant arrival of
troops from Spain, and the failure of the revolu
tionists to obtain arms or war material from
abroad, seem to have overthrown the prospects
of revolutionary success.” Sorry for it.
Wosirso Wojmor Boeros.—In the proceed
ings of the Working Women’s Convention, in
Boston, it is stated that there are upwards of
20,000 working women in Boston; that in nu
merous shops where there are over a hundred
employed the earning* of oach are not more
than sixty or seventy-fire cents por week; that
they are, in many cases, obliged to live on ono
scanty meal a day.
Low Fads. —Some time ago tho London and
Northwestern Bailway reduoed its freights and
fares to one-sixth their former amount, and
found such an increase in their local traffic to
result from it that their profits were soon
brought up to ninety per cent of what they had
been under the previous rates—the gain to the
community being, meanwhile five hundred per
cent
Pacino Bauxoad.—The telegraph announces
thst tho present termini of the approAclung Pa
cific railroads are but twenty-fivo miles apart,
- and that the gap will be dosed and the whole
line from New York to San Francisco open in
the course of a week. Various excursions have
been planned to the Pacific, among them a party
of government officials, with President Grant at
their head, and for whom a special and magnifi
cent car has been built.

From facts coming to our knowledge, says the
Constitution, we ere forced to believe that the
Italian, Looigs Leone, whose death we chroni
cled yesterday, committed suioide. He was ob
served crying on the day previous and other
circumstances tend to establish the fact.
Fosonto Lrrrna or Credit.—Tho Borne
Commercial says that one Bell, a young man of
respectable family in Cbatooga county, was ar
rested on Saturday and brought to Borne on
charge of forgery. He had written letters of
credit to different houses In New York, signing
to them the names of prominent business firms
in Borne.
Tin! Illinois Press Association In Ala
bama.
The wires are eloquent over the happy moral
and political effect of the current visit of the
Illinois Press Association to our sister State of
Alabama. If any good is done, the South will
owe it to the liberality and hospitality of the
Mobillans and the people of Montgomery. "We
know, if anybody could, the Mobilians, “if they
had a mind to the work,” would exorcise the
fiends of intolerance and sectional bigotry from
tho representatives of the Illinois Press, andre-
erenco for the white race.
Accordingly, we see that no sooner had they
been taken in hand by tho Board of Trade than
the scales fell from their eyes, and they began
to see that they had been living in an atmo
sphere of delusion about tho South—that they
had been crammed, and were cramming their
readers with falsehoods. They were astonished
at everything they saw, because it was so dif
ferent from what they expected to see. The
Reconstruction Committee and the carpet-bag
gers bad prepared them for outrages, violences,
rudeness and abuses of all sorts; but when they
found everything more peaceful and orderly
than it was at home—everybody more polite,
kind and cordial than anybody in Illinois, they
seem to have been dumbfounded.
We say with tho press dispatch that we hope
this is the beginning of a new era. The for
tunes of the West are identified with those of
the South. Here is the market for their
grain and meat—their horses and mules—their
agricultural implements, bagging, rope, stoves,
iron, steel and a vast variety of manufactured
goods, with which the great West, by reason of
her contiguity, is filling our markets to the
gradual exclusion of the products of the Bastem
and middle States.
Why, then, in the name of all that is sensible,
should the great West persist in that unjust
and oppressive combination with the East to
strike down the South and trample her under
the feet of a senseless radicalism, which seeks
to reverse all known conditions of social order
End industrial progress ? Why should the
West, by this unnatural combination, burden
her own trade with enormous excise and tariff
duties, in order to beat the life out of her best
customers, the men of tho South ?
The West and the South are natural allies.
The interests of both lie primarily in the ad
vancement of agpricnltnre, and by a most
felicitous diversity of climate their farm pro
ducts do not compete, but make markets for
each other; so that never does tho Southern
planter realize fine crops and good prices but
he divides his earnings most liberally with tho
Western farmer.
Thus out of the past crop year the West, it is
estimated, has received more than twenty mil
lions of dollars for live stock, and for corn and
meat she will probably receive from the South
upwards of a hundred millions more. The na
tural policy which befits tho condition and par-
.suits of tho two sections is identical, and they
ought to be friends and coadjutors.
Let the western men think over the plain sug
gestions of the situation, and ask themselves
whether anything they will be likely to gain by
playing bob to the New England kite can com
pensate them for what they will loso in assisting
that section to stab the South ? With the aid of
the South, a glorious career is open to the West.
She can control the destinies of the continent.
She can direct all the energies of the Govern
ment Restored to her normal condition and
released from the incubus of carpet-bagism, the
South will havo the intelligence, the power and
the disposition to bo amostreliablo and efficient
ally to the Western States.
Where are the young Western politicians
with acumen and genius to see the splendid
future which will open before them under the
inspiration of their grand idea ?
Look at matters now. A continent ruled by
Boston! A11 the leading offices in the hands of
Massachusetts. All the leading ideas control
ling this vast government the offspring, in
great part, of semi-crazed fsnatics liko Wen
dell Philips and Sumner, and a set of addlc-
pated social and political sciolists of both sexes.
Are these fit successors to Douglas, Benton,
Clay and Jackson? Are these the people to
shape the destiuie* of this giant republic ? Are
men who can’t get out of the atmosphere of
Boston, to control a government covering a fifth
of the habitable globe? Young men of the
West, awake, and east off the New England bib
and swaddling cloth.
Tire.Raleigh (N. C.) Sentinel sajs: “One of
the insane in onr asylum recently visited our
Legislature. Upon his return the Superintend
ent asked him what he thought of it Relaps
ing into a ‘brown study’ for a moment, he
looked up and said; ‘Well, I think they are a
branch of this establishment.”
rtr-sojiAi-—From a Memphis paper, we per
ceive that Captain Barney Hughes, so favorably
known as au operator in tho magnetic telegraph
office in this city, is now passenger agent of the
Memphis and Charleston Railroad. We wish
him ranch success iu his new field of operations.
JIs. Stefukss.—The MilledgeviUe Recorder,
of the -7th, says;
We have just been conversing with a friend
from a visit to Mr. A. H. Stephens, and are
happy to state that ho is gradually improving.
Mr. S. hopes that in the course of a few weeks
he will l>e able to resume his labors on his second
volume of the “War between the States.” He
is walking around bis room at present, sup
ported by chairs.
Illinois Editces in Alabama.—Speaking of
the Illinois Editorial Convention nowin Mobile,
the Montgomery Mail says:
Most of the visitors are accompanied by their
wives. The total number of editors is one hun
dred and twenty three, and the total number of
visitors two hundred and eighteen.
We are glad to learn that a movement is on
foot among some of the leading citizens, irre
spective of party, to invite theso visitors to
Montgomery. The invitation will probably be
sent down this evening.
The Hawkinsville Debating Society will dis-
enss, next Friday night, the question, “Wilt
the extension of the Macon & Brunswick Bail-
road to Fort Valley be beneficial to Hawkins
ville ?” - *
It “ estimated that the border States wiH sell
in the cotton States this year upwards of twenty-
five millions of dollars worth of mules. AU that

(irn. Ltc in Baltimore.
socaeKable popular enthusiasm !
Gen. Lee has recently been to Baltimore, at
the head of a committee of stockholders of the
Virginia Valley and Lynchbnrg and Danville
Railroads, to solicit assistance from the Balti
more capitalists. At a meeting of the city coun
cil, held to consider these projects, after the
dose of his address, the Sun says:
Mr. Bront said he was happy to inform the
ladies that they would have an opportunity of
taking Gen. Lee by the hand. Arrangements
were then made to enable the ladies to pass up
on the platform for that purpose. Tho privilege
appeared to be eagerly and generally availed of,
and Gen. Lee was engaged for some time in re
ceiving presentations.
The ladies passed from the west side of the
hall over the platform, passing tho General,
who shook the hand of each cordioUy, and in
return was complimented by aU the ladies, a
large number of whom saluted him with kisses.
After the presentation was over, the General,
escorted by Mayor Banks, left the building, and
on reaching the sidewalk was greeted with np-
roarious cheering, and the greatest enthusiasm
prevailed among the large throng that had as
sembled at the doorway. After liberating him
self from the many friends that continued press
ing forward to shako his hand, tho General en
tered a carriage and was driven to the residence
of Samuel H. Taggert, Esq., whose guest he is
during his sojourn here, the crowd following
the carriage for several squares, cheering loudly.
Previously, General Lee had read an address
to the business men. Upon concluding, the
audience again warmly applauded, and on the
General resuming his seat, cheer after cheer
rent the air, and hats and handkerchiefs were
waved from all portions of the halL It was
a scene of genuine enthusiasm not often wit
nessed.
Before this, when General Lee went to the
hall, as he ascended the stairway he was greeted
with three cheers by the multitude, who stood
around respectfully with uncovered heads.—
When he was introduced there arose a perfect
storm of applause, which continued uninter
ruptedly for several moments.
Oglethorpe Superior Court—Impor
tant Decisions.
From a Lexington letter in tho Constitution
alist we clip the following:
This has been an unusually interesting week
in Lexington. The Superior Court of Oglethorpe
county held its Spring Session from Monday
until yesterday afternoon, and then adjourned
till court in course. The presiding judge, Hon.
Garnett Andrews, conducted the business with
credit to his judicial ability and gave general
satisfaction to the bar and people. Upon a
point arising under the relief law, he held, that
a contract made before the war was a contract
to pay the specific number of dollars therein
mentioned, and that though he was bound,
under the ruling of the Supreme Court, to ad-
mit testimony as to the amountof property owned
by the debtor when the contract was made, how
much he had lost, in-what manner, etc., as is
provided in the relief law, yet, as to the effect
this testimony was to have, he would not, until
further controlled by the Supreme Court, allow
an old debt to he scaled upon the ground that
the debtor had lost his property, or other such
ground; that he could see no equity in it, and
unless there was a plea of failure of considera
tion, or some similar one, the redaction of the
amount of the debt was in violation of the Fed-
eral Constitution-
Affidavits filed by debtors for the purpose of
re-opening judgments under the above law,
were summarily dismissed and the levying
officer ordered to proceed.
Quite a number of cases, involving points
arising under the homestead and relief laws,
are going up to the Supreme Court from nearly
(Tvery county in the Northern Circuit.
The criminals, Simpson arid Weaver, who
last winter stole several thousand dollars in cur
rency and gold from Mr. Jesse Dalton, of this
county, and who were caught below Atlanta by
the energetic and talented Capt. John C. Reid,
came into court, pleaded guilty, and were sen
tenced by the judge to three years’ confinement
in the penitentiary.
Pulaski Superior Court.
AN ELIOIDILITT QUESTION UNDER THE FOURTEENTH
AMENDMENT.
We copy the subjoined from the Hawkinsville
Times, of the 28th:
But one criminal case—that of James Dowd,
for horning the gin house of G. B. Coley—was
submitted to the jury. Dowd was convicted
and sentenced to the penitentiary for three
yean. His counsel have made a motion for a
new trial on various grounds, the principal of
which is, we understand, that he was convicted
partly on confessions which, it is claimed, were
extorted from him. The indictment against
Sullivan, as accessory to the burning, was with
drawn by the Solicitor, for want of evidence to
convict.
The case of R. G. Fulghum vs. B. B. John
son, acting tax collector of Pulaski county, was
determined in favor of the former. It seems
that at the election held last spring, Fulghum
was elected tax collector, but the Governor re
fused to commission him, because he was inel
igible under the 14 th article of the Constitu
tion of tho United States, and a commission was
issued to Johnson, the next highest candidate.
Fulghum applied to Judge Alexander for a writ
of quo warranto, to enquire by what authority
he held the office. Fulghum had been a justice
of the peace before the war, and in January,
1865, he was elected Justice of the Inferior
Court, and went into the militia sorvico under
the call of Governor Brown. Ho fed and
clothed soldiers and their families whenever
they needed assistance, and his feelings were
with the South in the war, but he did not other
wise engage in it. The jnry, under tho in
struction of the Court, found him eligible, and
a judgment of ou*ter was entered against the
present incumbent.
Whether the Governor will issue a commis
sion to Mr. Fulghum, in accordance with this
judgment, we do not know, but suppose his
counsel, Messrs. Grice, Burke and Hansell,
have considered this question, nnd will know
how to meet it.
The Fillibustcra in Savanuah.
The Republican of Tuesday says; The United
States revenue cutter Nansemond steamed down
the river on Sunday morning last, nnder secret
orders, and may, doubtless, go as far as Florida,
bnt it is supposed she will anchor off Tybee.
The secrecy with which the agents of the Caban
revolutionists in this city veil all their move
ments has thus far been successful in baffling
detection, notwithstanding the vigilance exer
cised by the Spanish Consul and his employees.
The sudden departure of the cutter was remark
able—in fact, Captain Baker is untiring in car
rying out his instructions: bnt while the com-
mumcation remains open between Savannah
and JacksonviUe, etc., men and material may he
carried to the “Land of Flowersand we would
not ho surprised to learn of the departure of an
expedition to Cuba from some part of the Flor
ida coast at any moment. The success of the
“ Harry Berdan” has emboldened the sympathi
zers with the revolutionists. So far, however,
ns any attempt to prevent tho work which is go
ing on in Savannah, in aid of the parties, is
concerned, we hazard nothing in saying that it
would be futile. Well managed by bold, yet cau
tious men, who are not only supplied with ample
means, but also enthusiastic in the cause, the
undertaking is moving on without interruption,
and is daily assuming more formidable propor
tions. We shall spook further at another time.
The latest news from Cuba indicates that what
ever is to be done must be done quickly.
A BanxiroET, (Conn.,) Company, are said to
have an order from the Spanish government for
ten millions of metalic cartridges for the Ber
dan breech-loading musket.
The Macon Telegraph, of Sunday, came in
on yesterday. Two days from Macon is noth
ing to brag of.—Atlanta Sm» Era.
Reasonable speed, considering the times.
How ts It ?—A lady in ShelbyviUe has
ized the children of that place into a “Band of
Hope,” the aim and object of which is the pro
motion of morality among the young, and dis
countenancing the use of tobacco and liquor.
They have'attacked the Methodist Jspiscopal
and Presbyteriam Churches, by placing upon
the backs of their pews cards with the following
inscriptions: “This house is dedicated to tho
Lord; please not defile it with tobacco.”
Who can say a word in favor of chewing to
bacco in church, theater, or any public assem
blage? Not we. But is it not a fact, that the
earth is the Lord’s, and that he himself has de
filed it with tobacco?
Sr. Andrews Societt of Savannah.—This
Society has recently issued a circular in which
they say .-
“An earnest and cordial invitation is hereby
extended to all Scotchmen residing in the State
of Georgia to unite themselves with the St
Andrew's Society of the city of Savannah, and
to co-operate with this ancient brotherhood in
maintaining the traditions of their native land,
in promoting fraternal relations, and in extend
ing to destitute Scotchmen and their families
the kindly charities of life.”
The cocktail of the barnyard is much less
dangerous than the cocktail of the saloon.
Farm A Hairs in Putnain.
The Eatonton Press & Messenger, of Tues
day, says;
Onr farming friends in this section are bnsy
os bees. The recent rain having put the ground
in good condition, all the available forces on the
plantations were mastered into service. By
this date the most of onr planters have their en
tire crops in the ground and are ready, os they
demand it, to give them the first working
We fear some of onr planters, in their eager
ness to retrieve their lost fortunes by the pro-
duction of largo crops, have overtasked them
selves, and will find it difficult to keep the grass
under control; but they think different, and
assure us that if the laborers do their duty, of
which there is but little doubt, judging'from
the way they have commenced, and with any
thing like favorable seasons, they will be able
to keep up with their work and crops. We
hope they will, and in the end reap the reward
of energy, industry and enterprise.
We are sorry to read tho following in the Co-
lumbus Enquirer, of Tuesday:
Another Sorrowful Dispensation. —Miss
Carrie Ragland, daughter of the senior propri
etor of this paper, died on Sunday afternoon.
She had been for some time an invalid, and dis
played throughout her sufferings the Christian
spirit that had marked her life of gentleness and
purity. This young lady was greatly endeared
to a large circle of friends by the amiability of
her disposition and her noble devotion to Chris
tianity and benevolence. She had long been a
consistent member of the Presbyterian Church,
and was zealous in the discharge of every re
ligious duty. To her immediate family—which
has within the last few years had to sustain sev
eral very afflictive bereavements—she was the
center of affection and an object of tenderest
love. They have, in this last severe trial, the
sincere sympathies of a community in which
the virtues and worth of her whom they now
mourn were so well appreciated.
Selma, Home 3c Dalton Railroad.— The
Rome Commercial says:
We paid a visit to the headquarters of Messrs.
Fort 3c Printup, about three miles from the city,
and found them pushing forward the grading
on the above road with great energy. They
havo about 150 hands at work, and from general
appearances they are well fed, and made to
have a proper regard for cleanliness. The grad
ing for the first five miles from the city is very
heavy, but after they get through with that, the
balance of the route, with the exception of three
miles, is comparatively light. We wish them
a speedy trip to Dalton.
The Calm afxer the Stoeji—Generals Tm

To-day has been given up to quiet rejoicing
in official quarters at the relief experience !
from the office seeking pressure of the last eight
weeks. The President and most of his Cabinet
have left town. The President went into the
