The International Bnnday school con
vention. in the selection of Governor
Co'qnitt as its presiding officer, acted
with a wisdom which folly justified
itself. The governor never appeared
to better ail vantage than when presid
ing over this great body. Hia dignified
manner and imposing presence were
m<~st fit for each an occasion and aneb
a body. The unanimity with which
the delegates of all sections and all de
nominations represented agreed upon
this choicr, is an honor which the gov
ernor may remember always with j ut
pride. He ia a man whose history fi..
ted him for such a position. Liberal
in politics, generous in religious belief
and conservative in all his opinions, it
was eminently proper that he should
ne chosen to preside over a body which
represented various religious sects,
all shades of political opinion and the
peculiar ideas of every section of our
common country. We congratulate
the convention on its choice, and Gov.
Colquitt upon the honor which has
j tstlv been conferred upon him.

Montgomery B air, Bill Chaodler and
Roacoe Gonkling on its editorial staff.
They are, without doubt, the three
ablest stale.men this coumry affords.
Tag Washington Bust is alter Glover,
the chairman of one of the investigating
committees of l he house. We me;
have heard of Glover before, but we
don't remember in what connection.
Baorngg Bascusa, at the conclusion
of bis vsnety performance in Fly-
inoutb church last Sunday, spoke very
heartily of dying. With all his imag
ination, we don’t see bow the man can
think about being anyl deader than he
is.
Old man Thompson—the only piece
of mahogany furniture In Mr. Hayes's
cabinet—baa discovered that there is
harmony be'.ween congress and
the administration. In accom

MB BAM If. SMALL.
A private letter from Mr. Stm W.
Small, dated the 8-h Inst, informs us
that be arrived in Liverpool on the 31,
and in Pans on the 6-.h. He will take
up his quarters during his stay in Paris
Eogbien-les Bains, a delightful place
summer residence about eleven miles
north of the city, with which it is con
nected by hourly brains. He is delighted
with hia surroundings, and is of the
opinion that the exposition will be
toe grandest of the world’s fairs. His
address is 1, Rue Desaix, 1 (an coin de
Avenue Huffren.) Pans, France. Mr.
Small will send us regular weekly
letters, embracing not only matters re
lating to the exposition, but touching
upon political affairs in Franca. We
think we can safely say that his letters
will be the clearest and most compre
hensive of any sent to an American
journal from Ptria.
It is stated that Senators Gordon, of
Georgia, la mar, of Mississippi, and
Garlard, of Arkansas, with Gov. Col
quitt, of Georgia, will receive a dinner
from the Commercial club of B aton on
the 17th Inst. Toere urns', be some
mistake about it. Gov. Colquitt has
heerJ nothing of it
Wa have omitted to mention hereto
fore that Colonel Emory Speer ia tire
political editor of tbe Athens Watch
man. The colonel wields a trenchant
pen anil it ia Vo be deplored tl at he is
employing it In a dea, erate are) un
timely e-Boit to disorganise the demo
cratic party in the ninth district.
Trig papers have forgotten to stale
whether it was Senator Lamar, or his
cousin Albert, who loaded himself
down with derringers. We ere willing
to make affidavit however, that It
wasn't Albert, for it he had had any
grievance, he would have - alked into
tbe Uiica statesman pretty much after
the Ilteosr fsrhion.

The Merchant's,bark of thin city re
ceived yesterday a supply of siivtrcer-
titkntee. The bills have the shape of
fen dollar greenback bills, and redid on
their (see as follows: "Ovrtifichte(of

been deposited with the Awisant
Treasurer of the U 8.. at Sew York.

They are signed by tbe Register of tbe
Treasury snd by the Treasurer and
countersigned by the Assistant Trea
surer. This certificate is receivable for
customs, taxes, and all public dues,
and when so receivrd may be re-inued
It baa on tbe left hand end the vignette

Mr. Morris was in the financial world

the new ia. ue, and tbe t fleets of this
h ultimate it flation of the currency
will soon be felt in banners circles.
About a year ago Ilia government
stocked the rivers fl >wing into the G jh
Mexico with shad from tbe eastern
rivers. We noticed yesterday for an'e
our city a barrel of white shad, from
Reaaca, Georgia. They were not
large shad, but the regular white shad,
such as are caught in the Savannah
and Ogeecbee rivers. A gentleman in
formed ns that great qwntilies if
these young shad have boon caught
this spring in the Cocoa, Etowah and
Ojstanaula rivers, in traps and uets.
This is all wrong; these fUh ought
not to be interfered wilh during this
season, and no time hereafter after tbe
1st of April. If they were not inter-
rnp'.t d in another year, the finest shad
could be taken from these waters and
abundant supply furnished ior all
tbe people along these waier-c jurats.
bas been demonstrated ibat any
kind of fresh-water fish will fl mrinh in
our waters. We hope to see the day
when we can get anv kind we want'
but it will never come if tbe young fi.b
are destroyed before they can spawn.
We do hope that some one will see to
that all the shad caught in trape
along these rivers will be ihrown back
into the stream. When the legislature
meets a law should be passed to pro
hibit tbe people from destroying-these
young fish.
It would be a very wise and graceful
act (or Dr. Felton to allow bis name to
go before the nominating convention of
the seventh district. If his independ
ent candidature was the result of a de
sire to bring about reforms in the party
machinery,auiely hie success npen two
different occasions bas been sufficient
to bring them atont. II there were
rings to be broken, so ely they are bro
ken. In our opinion, if Dr. Felton
should pursue this course, he could no'
fail of a nomination. He is not only
vsry popular pcrsmally, but bis record
in congress is absolutely aitbout spot
or blemish. 11s fiercely eh quent ar

Such courage as Goakhng’s < ught to

to slander his te los-aenatora in private

While opposing any mov-meot that
has for its aim a mere crouds rgainst
Mr Hayes, we are anxious to see the
bottom facta with respect
to the frauds by which the democratic
eradicate for the presidency wee
awindled out of his scab The evi
dence of them frauds cannot be
brought out too early, and tbe inveeti-
gallons which it is the duty o! the dem
ocratic boose to set on foot cannot bs
made too thorough. The campaign
which ia to have its culmination in
1880, may as well be inaugurated now
aa at any other time, for a desultory
chronicler would be kept busy
for two yean in recounting the
crimes and commenting on the Cor
ruption of the republican party. It ia
staled that the confessions u( McLtn
end Dennis have been forwarded to
Washington, in which event the house
oi representatives cannot afford to ig-
oore them. The public sentiment ol
the country will demand an investiga
tion, and an investigation will result in
a general uncovering of the gross
frauds by which the country was cheat
ed out of its rightfully-elected presi
dent.
TUB FLORIDA FRAUDS.
It would teem that fate bad a hand
the metier. The fraud that resulted
tbe electoral commission, and tbe
lulntquent seating of Mr. Hayes will
not down a! tbe bidding nl John Sher
man and his fellow.conepiratore known
the “visiting stateemen.” These
tucceeded in overawing the Nicholla
democracy or in bribing the supreme
court of tbe stale, thereby enlarging
Kano” Andeison and preventing the
trial of that venerable villain J. Mad
Welle; and in doing thi- it ia not to be
doubled that they fondly dreamed that
tbe Iroub'.raome ghoet wae laid. The
telegram of sympathy to Anderson, and
•be letter of Mr. Hayes to tbe attorney
general, written as we have good reason
believe, at tbe dictation of Sherman,
show the desperation ol tho arch-con
spirttora The. know well that any
thing like a thorough inves'tgslion
the electoral frauds in the
three contested states would
(eaten the infamy of the crime upon
them, and, consequently, they are wil
ling to undertake any j -b which will
result iu effectually suppressing the
evidence of their dirty work. They
succeeded to some extent in Louisiana,
but redent developments make it ci r
tain that they will not succeed else
where.
It appears that Bill Chandler, who
practically had charge of the radictl
se in Florida did not m->ke quite cure
his men. Several days ago Tux Cos-
sTircri >x gut wind of certain de
velopments snout to be

special correspondent, to investigate
tbe matter. Oar specie! telegram; from
Jacksonville yeaterday and the morn

opmenta: Simnel McLin, one of the
radical members of the returning board
oae made a clean breut ol the
fronds perpetrated by his republican
aolleague and himself in canvassing tbe
returns, while L G Dennis, whose
dtreadneas and cunning as a carpet
begger have won him the title cl tne
“little giant of Alachua,” bas certified
to the well-known (rands at the Archer
precinct iu that county. It is probable
that the atme motives which prompted
Oonkling to have hia attack on Hayes
published in what may be termed
anrreptitions manner—namely, a lack
of official p Urouage -also prompted the
confessions of these Fronds worthies
hot it ia a mutter of liule moment to
.peculate aa to their motive*, as lorg re
they have concluded to ease their c, n
sciences by on open admission it ell

A short (ime subsequent to the re
cent electiooe for the general assembly
in Georgia, a telegram was sent from
Washington to various j ournals in the
north and west to the effect that tbe
independent movement in this state
bad assumed formidable proportions
and was gaining in strength everyday.
The dispatch to which we refer con
nected General Gordon’s name
without the slightest authority with
the movement, and went on to say tbit
the break iu tlie ranks of the Georgia
democracy was due to the attitude of
Mr. Hayee toward the rootb, and was
the first substantial fruit of bis south
ern policy. Tub Oqmstitction, com
menting upon this seusetionsl telegram
in a desultory way, pointed ont that
•here was no such thing as an inde
pendent movement in Georgia and no
prospect that there wcnld be.
We stated, moreover, that
where independents had been
elected they were, in a majority oi in
stances, as atannen democrats as their
opponents and quite as ready to do
battle for tbe party. This expression,
it appears, has been carefully treasured
by C .lonel Emory Bprer, the political
editor o! the Athens Watchman, who
ia himself a prospective independent
candidate lor congress in the ninth dis
trict, snd in a recent editorial article in
bie paper he is at some pains to refer n;
thereto. Unhappily for tbe colonel in
this metier, his s-al outruns his discre
tion. Ue seems tu forget tbe occasion
that called furtb the declaration and
Ibe connection in which it was made.
When we s'atea that a majority of tbe
independents elected to tbe legislature
were as g rod democrats as theii
opponents, we meant, of corns.', that
their candidatures had not been promp
ted by a desire to ai. Mr. Hayes in hi-
rflurts to build up a third party in tbs
south, li was only another form ol
tying that they had not been affected
by tbe southern policy of tbe adminis
tration.
Speaking loosely, people say that
there were quite a Dumber of inde
pendant candidates el cied to tbe leg
islature, but tbe troth oi tbe matter is,
there are,comparatively,fra'. In a gr at
many c >un< rise and in some senatorial
districts no nominations were made by
tbe party, snd it ia customary, but by
uo means correct, to adudu to candi
dates elected under such e.rcamstar.ee;
independents. Colonel Speer
makes the same mistake with teepcei
tbe election of Ciptaiu Howell, and
parades bis error qnite conspicuously.
Aa we have said before, we have s
very high regard for Colonel Speer
personally and sincere admiration ior
his talents, but we think hia crusade
gainst the organ-ssd democracy ill-
advised, nnwiee, untimely and dinger
one, and we shall take pleasure in op
posing him moat strennoaily. We
have no fears as to the result, for we
cannot doubt that the people -the in
telligent voters—will prefer a candi
date nominated by representative men
the party to a man who numina.ee
himself.

The lieu of the shootiag as reported to ns are
as follows: Just before the time for the train to
leave. Colonel Salisbury, Mr T D Huff and CoL
Mark Bomdlord were crossing tho platform of
:be warehouse, which stands at the stat on, acd
were about to board tbe train. Mr. Hoff was in
fro it. Colonel Biandford next, and Colonel
Salisbury in the rear. Aa they neared tbe light
shining across the platform from tbe window ol
the tekgraph (fix, they passed three men, one
wlou was Dr l'almcr, the other Mr. James
Holland, and the third an unknown party.
Colonel Bill buiy came into the light, which
from the window, a report of a pJs oi was
heard, and mother q tickfy followed. Colonel
Salisbury fell at tbe first fire. While down, he
dtsw bis pistol and shot at Mr. Holland, who
was standing a: th s place at which he was fl:tt

smeared, or when tbe furrow does not
crack open and fall apart loosely as it

TURKEYS.
The natural mother is the best for
the rearing of the young. Hens are
rather too quick in their movements,
and will cause young turkeys to tun
about too much. The turkey, hen is
quiet, and is fond of her young. Aftet
tbe hatching of yonng turkeys, they
should be kept about tbe yard, aud
should not be allowed to run about for
several days after batching. Give
strong, nutritive food, which should be

MULCHING.
In a few weeks from now, if you ap
ply partly rotten straw or leaves toprour
Irish potatoes, yon will find it highl
beneficial. After tbe laat workirg, or
when yonr Eighth peas begin to bloom,
mulch them, acd you will find the
vices will bloom and bear peas longer.
In fact, through the summer many vege
tables do mucU better from mulching.
