The good «Bcc;s cf the late Interns-
tional Sunday school convention are
beoomirg manifest every day. The
twentieth annual meeting of the Illi
note state Hunday school c invention
wu held at Decatur lest week. Nearly
seven hundred delegates were in at
tendance, ‘ representing 6 288 schools
with a total membership of 642,756.
Durlrg the aesaiona cf the convention
reports were made by the delegates that
represented Illinois in the Atlanta con
vention. All the delegatee ci inmend,
ed the work of the conveetion, anu
■poke highly of the people of the
south, and especially of Atlanta. The
presidentof the convention, Mi.Tbrmp.
son. relied attention to "the mistaken
views of many in the north u to the
southern feeling.” Another speaker
thanked “God for the convention at
Atlanta, believing its influence will
long be felt, not only in the eouth, but
all over Ibis broad land.” From such
testimony it is difficult to decide wheth
er religion or patriotism wu the great
est gainer from the greet international
gathering.

The emperor was wounded in one arm
and on tbe cheek by buckshot and
small shot. The would-be v aasMs^i is

felt as to his condition.
THE OFFICIAL BULLETINS.
The following is taken from the offi
cial accounts and bulletins published
in regard to the attempted assassina
tion of the emperor. Nobeling fired
twice with a double-barrelled gun. The
emperor received about

Dr. Nobeling came to Berlin a few

tlemen were admitted to the saloon and
conve'sed with Kate Sothern and her
husband. The woman seemed natural
ly reticent and did not sav much." “In
appearance she is not particularly strik
ing, being tall and slender and with
rather delicate features. She looked
pale and weary last night, and seemed
to dialike the notoriety of her recep
tion.” “Bob” shared the honors ac
corded his wife, and is emb lined in
print as “a robust and rather flue lock
ing man of twenty-eight.” “The baby
was also the object oi the wild cariosity
which babbled over on everything con
nected with the unfortunate family.”
The local chronicle even describes the
heroine's manner. “She was. very calm,
though her expression was senoos, if
not sad.” At 11 o'clock she left for
Macon, where we presume a similar
ovation awaited her. The keeper of
the penitentiary has interested himself
in ber and has asked that she be em
ployed aa a cook or seamstress when
she reaches the convict camp in Wash
ington county. Her sister, who took
hand in the murderous affray, : s con
fined there and finds the life so pleasant
that she does not desire a pardon but
has expressed an intention to remain af
ter her time expires, if allowed to do so.
The public will also be gratified to
know that “Mr. Sotbern has arranged
to get work near his wife and they will
not be separated." From all this it
will apeear tbat the lines of tbe Geor
gia heroine have fallen into exceedingly
pleasant places and that the persons
who are endeavoring to obtain her par
don instead* of conferring a benefit are
really doing her an iDjury by their im
portunities. Women who feel disposed
td kill their husband's paramours may
now do so, feeling assured that they
will obtain the sympathy of the world
and have their places m history beside
Kate So them, the Georgia heroine.

Augufita Chronicle.
Mrs. Kate Sothern is the heroine of
the day. Aa In some parts cf the
world the male who has “killed his
man” is made a hero, so Mrs. Sothern,
who has killed her woman, Decomes a
heroine. Of course no one can dispute
the jns'ica of her claim to this proud
title. She was tbe snccessfnl rival of a
mountain prostitute for the hand of a
mountain rake. She married a nun
whose guilty connection with this wo
man .was open and notorious—whose
Pl^jplqp with her continued up to
within two or three days ot the wed-
ding, and which was resumed t
very short time afterwards. At a
dance given at her mother's house this
infamous woman waa, it seems, a wel
come guest. A quarrel ensued because
tbe husband persisted in dancing with
his paramour in the presence of his
wife, and the wife armed herself with a
knife under pretence of catting a brash
with which to “dip” snuff- later in the
progress of this chaste entertainment^
quarrel and a fight occurred between
the two women, and the wife stabbed
the mistiess to the heart. For this of-
fense she was tried in a Pickens county
court before a Pickens county jury,
fonnd guilty of murder and sentenced
to undergo the punishment attached
that crime Immediately
there was a tremendous press
ure brought to bear upon
the governor to obtain a free pardon
for the Georgia heroine. The executive
office was literally flooded with letters
from men and women ffom all parts of
Georgia and all parts of the country,
imploring clemency for this noble wife.
The press, from Maine toTexas,tookup
the cry and wildly gashed aboat the
enormity cf hanging a woman. The
governor finally came to the very just
conclusion that if she had not com
mitted murder she certainly was guilty
of manslaughter, and commuted the
death sentence to ten years imprison
ment in the penitentiary. But the sen
timentalists are not satisfied with saving
Mrs. Sothern from the scaffold—they
are determined that she shall go scoit
free, and be in a position to kill all the
other women wto contract liasons with
her scoundrel husband. Letters and
petitions still go to the governor, and
an organized effort is being made to
have the heroine released. The gover
nor is plied with all kinds of arguments,
with tnrea's and entreaties. The At
lanta Constitution informs us that Mr.
Charles Herbst, whoee defeat for the
office of librarian of the Atlanta libra
ry convulsed the whole state and came
nearer to causing civil war than the
Potter resolution, writes of ber
as “the brave Kate Sothern/
We are told that an Augusta
man nups Governor Co:qoitt for con
demning “this noble woman to a pun
ishment that is worse than death/^and
goes on to say that he is preparing a
petition for ber foil pardon. Another
one writes: “Every true husband in
Georgia shonld admire^Mrs. Kate Soth-
ern—the woman who knew her rights
and -had the courage to maintain
them.” The photographs of this inter
esting criminal and her equally inter
esting husband have been taker, are
eagerly sought after and command
fair prices. The poets have not yet
taken np her case, but we may rea
sonably expect the divine i fllatus tt
moye them ’ere long; and perhaps
the same Atlanta bard who sneg in
siren strains of the untimely taking off
of CoL Milt. Malone may charm he

Editorial Correspondence of The Confutation.
Paris, May 20,1878.
There is a very ane&sy and disturbed
feeling in American circles here, caused
by the news, brought to ns in very
meagre telegrams, of the renewed agi
tation of the presidential question. As
we have here representatives from
every state and territory in the anion,
and moet cf these representatives are
persona who have had to do with politi-
say really why he haa not made for
himself a better name, but I can say
with the utmost truth that I have not
heard a good word spoken for him
since I have been these two monthB in
Paris and that when news of his recall
came there was enough jubilation iu
American circles to cause a torchlight
procession. Gov. Fairchild, who suc
ceeds him, haa made many friends as
consul general at Liverpool and his
tranrfer to this office is generally ap
proved. I hope he will be able to give
the satisfaction that is anticipated.
GRANT FOR PRESIDENT.
Strange as it may seem, the opinion
exists here that Grant is really in train
ing for the presidential succession in
1830. Among the Americans I hear it
often stid: “Grant has the inside track
for 18b0r* They do not seem to know
exactly why it should be eo, but as near
as I can diagnose the sentiment it is
that the American public, after the ex-
periences'of '76, with both Tilden and
Haves, wi'l demand hereafter men who
have the will and the audacity to do
whatever they undertake and that a
resolute use cf their power can accom*
