St. Patrick’s Day—Hibernian Ckle-
aaAnoN.—The I7ib of March-the anniversary of
St. Patrick-coming on Sunday, the Hibernian Benev-
ol.-nt,Hocit.ty bad their annual parada yesterday. The
Ilibemlana assembled at their Hall, corner « f Broad
and Marietta streets, atfijf o'clock, and, preceded by
the Catholic Church Band, marched according to the
programme of march to the Catholic Church, where
Father Duggan celebrated masc. Returning by the
route laid d- wo, the Hibernians reached DeGlve'a at
11 o'clock.
We were pleased to note so many beautiful ladies
out
Major John U. Fljnr, President of the Hibernian
ffodety, in a pertinent speech. Introduced Colonel
Lather J. Glean, the orator of the day.
The spe-iker began by alluding to the 4th of July
and ihe Tid of February —epochs celebrated In Amer
ican history, and HL Put rick’s Day. The history of
Ireland was one of battle for the right ag«!n*t oppres
sion. Ir'ah vulor was prominent in the American
revolution, from the fall of Montgomery ct Quebec
to the s.ur.-nder of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktovrn.
George Washington was a member of the &L Patrick
Society—the rather of the Hibernians.
ne touchingly referred to that brave ard heroic
band-the Jackson Volunteers—who went from this
city—among th; first to enter the contest and the
last to quiuhe field after the surrenderor Gen. Lee.
The conntry owes it to Pat Cleburn to erect him a
monument for his devotion and daring.
The speaker drew a graphic contrast between Ire'and
between iWO and 1800 and the present tin
the fifth of February, 1900. Ireland was stabbed by
pretended friends, by tbo legislative anion with En
gland, and now native scalawag* and Britiab carpet-
begg nrfatbn upon her soil and lord it over the toil
ing masses.
He bad a strong an 1 abiding fa'th In the ultimate
re establishment of Irish Independence His allu
sion io tho patriot martyr, and Christian hero, Rob
ert Emmett, was eloquent ard grand. Georgia gave
a cordial welc 'me to ail—from North, East and Weel
rho rame with honest intent to develop hrr unrivalled
and illimitable resource*. Never would she do other
wise while tbc names of Montgomery, DeKalb, La-
Fay cite, Pulatki were so indelibly associated with her
history.
The address—chaste and appropriate—was received
with repeated applause.
The Catholic band furnished most excellent mu*ir.
This Is a fine band, and is Improving w th rapid
strides.
Tne Hibernian* adjourned to their ball, where they
proceeded to elect officers for the year 1879, with the
foMowing revolt:
John II. Flynn, President, unanimously; O. C.
Carroll, Vice President; CapL Thomas Nunan, Secre
tary; W. G. Whidby, Assistant Secrotary; W. H.
Roche, Treasurer.
Fi-fANra Cohhittxb—John Ellsworth, A. Connally,
P. Walpole.

Grady, P. Kelly.
IxvasTioA-nxo Uoxhittbc—M. Hogan, R. M. Wall,
B. Rollman, J. Cannon, and P. Hefferoan.
The reports of the various committees showed that
the Society was in a highly prosperous condition
The Irish heart find? in this Society a true exponent
of its generosity and benevolence. Their members
are cared for, in sicknese and affliction, by every
member, and with a constancy and devotion as strong
and lasting as that of every true Irishm in far “Green
Erin.” |

A Great Curiosity.—Some two weeks
ago, Mr. G orge Forester living some two miles from
Lout: a. Alabama, while preparing for a dlnnerduring
a log-rolling, was astonished to find that a chicken
whose head he had rut off fr.un Its neck scouidn’t die.
He arrived here y< sterday with it, and we paid a visit
tbe wonder. The chicken Is evidently alive,
and his h« ad is off! The blow that took off the vic
tim's head, left the medulla, or base of the brain and
the breathing apparatus. We learn that it will be
plaeed on exhibition at eight o'clock this morning,
and continue durieg tbe day, in a room on Marietta
street, between John Peel's and the Capitol.

Friday night. He was taken charge of by some of
the Police force, and carried to Dr. White's, on Peters

hack man aud carried Mr. Brockenhsgen to the Guard
house. About 8 o'clock yesterday morning be was put
la a city express wagon for the purpose of being car

wagon, on the way, and in tbe neighborhood of Mr.

was no appearance of any wonnda or bruises by which
Mr. Brockenhsgen may have come to hi* death. We

Railroad Matter, In Cenrgla.
Tbe agitation in railway matters in Geor
gia keeps lively. The commotion is inces-
oL
Scott’s Southern Security Company is
trying to negotiate the right of passengers
and freights over tbe Western Railroad from
Columbia and West Point to Selma on the
terms as the Georgia and Central
Roads. King favors and Wadley opposes it
Scott and King have a controlling interest
in the Western, so that Wadley will proba
bly have to yield or Bell. If the latter, the
Columbus Sun thinks the Savannah and
Memphis Company will obtain the branch
road from Columbus to Opelika to the benefit
of Columbus.
The Sun also thinks the Central is baying
up ail the slock in the Mobile and Girard
road offered. It got by rumor, five thousand
shares at ten doilara per share. This stock is
rising.
The North and South road has twenty-two
miles nearly done, and iron is on its wsy.
After repeated efforts, the Port Royal rail
road company has a proposition from the
Georgia Railroad, subject to the action of the
stockholders of tbs Georgia to endorse a mil
lion of the bonds of the Port Royal road, for
which it is to receive $1,200,000 in stock of
the Port Royal Company. This will give the
Georgia oad control of the Port Royal. Tbe
latter road is graded and ready for iron, save
nineteen miles: thirty-five miles his track
and cars arc running over it. The road is
eighty miles long. These facts the Augusta
Chronicle gives us.
It is suggested that this movement was
suggested by fears that the South Carolina
Roadmight be controlled against the in
terests of the Georgia Road.
Tbe Savannah Republican thinks the
scheme looks like a declaration of war by
Augusta against Charleston and Savannah,
and thinks she will get sick of it
The opening of the Macon and Knoxville
Railroad is on the tapis. A meeting is to be
held at Covington on the 27th, and specula
tion is rife os to what will be done. It is
said the route will run twelve miles on the
Macon and Augusta Road, then go to Cov
ington, fifty-two miles, by which it will be
one hundred . and three miles to Atlanta.
From Covington a line north will join the
Knoxville and Maryville Road via Law-
rencevillc, Gwinnett county.
Tbc survey of g branch of the Griffin,
Honlicello and Madison Road to Indian
Springs has been made.
The Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama
Railroad Company has agreed to run the
road through Bowden. Tbe Bowden people
will pay down $20,000 stock, and do the
grading between Carrollton and Bowden,
taking two-thirds of it in stock. Beyond
Bowden the road will he immediately pushed,
though its r .ute is not definitely ascertained
This will he decided by the location of the
Southern Pacific Road. The Carroll Times
gives us this news
Elecl oa of Slate House Officers,
Editors Const, lution: A good deal has been
Slid through tbc public prints in reference to
tbe election of State IIouso officers to suc
ceed the present incumbents. The last arti
cle to which my attention has been directed
is one pub! ished in your paper some time since,
signed “ Law.” This was a plausible and in
geniously constructed argument to prove that
tbe present Legislature, to assemble in July
next, is not the body to elect these officers.
It is my purpose to show that it is, and I beg
little space in your columns to that end.
1 take no issue with “ Lav,” that the present
incumbents hold their offices until the meet-
ingjof the General -Assembly in 1873. For
the present purposes, that is conceded. The
question is, by what law or rule is the Legis
lature to be governed in this matter? The
writer insists that by invariable custom, tbe
same Legislature that .inaugurates the Gov
ernor elects the State nouse officers. Sly
answer to this is, that custom cannot override
ptnitivc law. And 1 assert that tbe law of
ibis State requires the present Legislature,
when it meets in July, to elect State House
officers, that being Us last session or meeting.
Now, for the proof. Section 1303 Irwin's
Code says: “ The elections fqr Senators in
tbc United States Congress from this State,
shall he held by tbc General Assembly
during tbc sitting or setting which immedi
ately precedes the beginning of the term
which they arc to fiil.” Section 13 (4 of the
same says, that Judges of tbe Supreme Court,
the Secretary of State, the Comptroller Gen
eral, the State Treasurer, Printer and Bank
Directors, are elepte.l by tho same rule as to
time. So far os this inquiry is concerned,
we have nothing to do woth the election pf
any other officers save that of State House
officers. Now, wbat is the ruie—it is stated
in section 1363, and if this rule has uot been
changed, (and I assert it has not been) it is
still applicable to State House oflicers.
Then, if this be true, and if the July session
or meeting be the last, or the one immedi
ately preceding the term which they are to
fill, this, of course, is the Legislature to eiecL
Now let us examine and see if tbe facts jus
tify the conclusion that tbo July session is
the one immediately preceding the beginning
of the new officers’ terms. The Constitution,
article 4, section 1, paragraph 1, says the
Governor shall hold his office “during the
term of four years.”
The same instrument, article 4, section 2,
paragraph 7, says there shall he a Secretary
of Stale, a Comptroller General, a Treasurer
and Surveyor General, elected by the Gener
al Assembly, and they shall hold their offices
for tbe like period as the Governor, which is,
of course, four years. An ordinance of the
Constitutional Convention, adopted March
10, 1868, and quoted by your correspondent
“Law,” declares that officers elected by tbe
General Assembly, in 1863, shall hold their
offices as though elected or appointed at the
General Assembly nett thereafter. So that
the present State House officers shall hold as
if elected by the Legislature of January,
1869. That Legislature met on tbc second
Wednesday in January, 1869. The next
Legislature to be elected next fall, will meet
on the second Wednesday in January, 1873,
exactly four years from the assembling of
the Legislature of 1869, and the very mo’rent
the Legislature of 1873 meets, the term of
the present State House officers wi)l expire,
because on that day, the second Wednesday
of January, 1373, the four years are out and
the term expires. No matter whether it is
filled before or after that time, tbc very instant
the four years expire, the old term expires,
and the term of the new officers commences.
There can be no mistake abont this, and
before the new body could possibly begin to
hold an election, the terms of the old officers
will have expired, and those of their succes
sors commenced. Hence it is as plain and
indisputable as that two and two make four,
if the July session is the last session or
meeting of tbe General Assembly before the
meeting of the new Legislature in 1873; that
it, the July session, is the only legal author
ity for electing State House officers to suc
ceed the present officers. Veiutas.

Washisqtox, March 15,1872.
We have had of late surcease from bun-
combs and bombast in Congress. Both
Houses have settled down to business, and
President seeking is carried on only beneath
the surface. Sharp teeth are gnawing at the
foundation of the Grant edifice, with a view
to the entire demolition of the structure in
thefafi.
The Executive Committee of the Labor
Reform Organization have had several con
ferences here of late with Judge Davis; bnt
that gentleman has decided to give no letter
or address at present He considers his tele
graphic acceptance of the nomination suffi
cient He shrewdly says he has known many
pnblic men to ruin themselves by letter
writing, (wonder if he had Frank Blair’s
Brodhead letter in mind,) and he don’t pro
pose to follow their example.
The patriot, of this city, which has been
printing a column or two of extracts daily
from its contemporaries in advocacy of the
Daris and Parker ticket, has now defined its
position editorially. It favots any kind of a
combination to defeat Grant, and declares
that a straight-out Democratic ticket cannot
win. We shall see.
Now the fact is that the Labor Reform or
ganization baa very little strength politically.
This was shown the other day in New
Hampshire where the labor reformers ought,
from the nature of things, to be in the as
cendency. Unless their nominees are adopted
by the Cincinnati Convention, or by a Dem
ocratic convenlipn, good-bye Davis and
Parker. Measures are now being taken,
however, to control the Cincinnati Conven
tion in their interest; whether they will be
successful or not remains to be seen. I still
incline to the belief that Lyman Trumbull
is the “coming man.”
An interchange of views among those op
posed to Grant’s re-election, is now going on
through the mails. One earnest worker here
tells me he writes fully fifty letters a day.
This trill show yon that although things seem
quiet on the surface, there is a deal going on

the programme of the committee has been
decided upon after due deliberation and un

I proved • true prophet with legard to the
result of the election in this State, when I
said under date of March 8tb. “My belief is
that the Radicals will carry the State by a
■mall majority.”
The Radical candidate for Governor has a
majority of about 1,500. Set this aiainsta
majority of 8,000 for Grant in 1866, and it
does not leave the administration organs
much to blow abont Still they blow all tbc
me.
The fact U that parties in this State are
very evenly divided at present; and the
money bags of the administration turned
the stale. The local Democracy were left to
their own resources, while the Radicals filled
tbe State with stamp speeches, and scattered
money right and left
Indeed, it was the opinion of leading Dem
ocrats that a victory in New Hampshire, at
this time, would be rather disadvantageous
to the party than otherwise. Consequently
they see nothing to grieve at in tbe result,
nor were they disappointed orsurprised whtn
New Hampshire elected a Radical Governor
by abeggerly majority.

We have only five Congressional investiga

more by and by, as these Radicals stand a
deal of investigating.
Messrs. Snmncr and Schurj have certainly
made good their charges respecting the sale of
arms to France. It has been shown that
these sales were made with a fall knowledge
that the French government was the pur
chaser, and that such quantities were dis
posed of as to virtually disarm this country,
while on the brink of a foreign war.
It is said Secretary Robeson will be white
washed, though the charges against him are
of the most direct and positive kind. He is
allied to have put money in bis own
pocket and the pockets o< his friends,
by a misrule of his official position, and
tbe fact that he came hero a poor man,
has lived at an expense far above his
income, yet become a real estate owner and
moneyed man, constitute a formidable ar-
raingment. If he ia to be whitewashed a
stop might as well be put to the appointment
of investigating committees.
The New York Custom House investiga
tion continues to expose the rottenness of

grown up under it.

negroes living there. Rodegon was met by
large body of armed negroes, who proposed
t assist in the arrest, but they stated that
White had barriraded his cabin and would
make a desperate fight-
Rodegon approached the cabin and de
manded the surrender of White, who re
fused, saying that be would be murdered by
the negroes if he did. After some further
parleying, one negro approached tbe cabin
and was shot dead by White, who rushed out
and secured his gun. In a few minutes he
shot another and secured his gun, but was
wounded as he retreated to his cabin. White
then opened a sharp fire, wounding four
others. Rodegon seeing that it was impossi
ble to dislodge him, sent to the city for as
sistance. Deputy Sheriff Mike Pyne sum

to take measures to born White’s cabin.

owns a beautiful residence on Chestnut street
In another state, at Long Branch, N. J., lie
owns an extravagantly famished summer
residence. He owns stock in the great Sene
ca Sand-stone company and refuses to sell it,
notwithstanding the company is using all its
influence to extort the patronage of the gov
ernment for that material. U: owns stock
in railroads and steamboats, and, if Congress
had not defeated the infamous San Domingo
swindle, he and Babcock and Ingalls and
O’Stilltvsn, would have possessed half of
that island ere this. The people know these
things, and many more quite as bad, and
naturally say to themselves, "This man

Dead Men Tell no Tales:-If they did,
anathemas against the depleting lancet, the
drastic purge, and the terrible salivanta of
the materia mcdica. would arise from eveiy
graveyard. The mi.tio of modern medical
science is "Preserve and Regulate, not destroy ”
and no remedy of our day is so entirely in
harmony with this philanthropic logic as Dr.
Walker’s Vegetable Vinegar Ritters. In this
powerful, yet harmless rrstordlive, dyspepsia,
bilious complaints, and nil diseases of the
stomach, liver, bowels and nerves, encounter
an irresistible antidote.

Sleeplessness.—Sleeplessness comes from
poverty of the blood, the irritability of the
brain tissue consumes the nutrition of the
blood too rapidly. Sedatives and narcotics
may relieve for a time, but as they do not re
move the cause they do not cure, soon lose
their power, and sleep is sought for in vain.
The only true remedy is that which builds
up the system, renews life action, strengthens
the bra iii, and gives to the blood those ma
terials lost by a diseased condition. Such a
remujy may be found in Dr. Price’s Blood
Enrichcr, heller in the long run than all the
sleep producing agents known. Druggists
have it for sale.

Atmos hekic Poi on.—The spring sun
calls up ftonclbiog besides*the flowers and
grosses. It evolves from the damp earth tur
bid rivers, stagnant pools And black morasses,
the gaseous provocatives of disease. From
the rffal and garbage of unclean cities, too,
it exhales an effluvia destructive of health
and vigor. Periodic fevers of various types
ore now raging with unusual virulence in
various parts of the country, anil there are
complaints from all nuarters of a singularly
unhealthy spiing. What is to be done in
this emergency % The answer is simple and
to the point. Strengthen the body. Weak
ness predisposes the system to disease. Com
mence at once a oourse of the most genial of
tonics, ilostetrer*s Stomach Bitters. Be as
sured that the germs of epidemic and en
demic fevers vyill never intect the physique
that has been fortified and regulated with
this glorious vegetable restorative. A moist
atmosphere aggravates dyspepsia, and all dis
eases of a billious type, and the sudden ther-
mometrical changes common at this season,
ire a severe trkdeven to strong constitutions.
There is but one way of combatting these
deleterious a reticles, and that is by invigor
ating the bedy, and imparting a healthy ac
tivity to all its functions. The only specific
required for this purpose is llostettcr’s Bit
ters. Of all vegetable tonics and alteratives,
it is the purest and the best. Its medicinal
ingredients include all the juices and extracts
of the most approved tonic, anti-billious and
antiseptic products of the Bot&nio Kingdom,
and they are combined with a stimulant far
superior in quality to the alcohol used in pre
paring the tinctures and extracts of the
recular” pharmacopoeia.
