The Eastern papers during the lust few days have been full of telegrams announcing the departure of the Bark Azor from Charleston, 8. 0., to Africa. About two hundred ne groes, men, women and children, have gone to that benighted country to take up their future abode. The Herald compares this emmigrant fcssel to the Mayflower. It, is said hat there are about ten thousand waiting and anxious to go. Well, it is their country, and no one can blame them for wanting to return.

The New York papers of Saturday say: “There were no fresh strawber ries aa hand to-day; Southern worth 20@40 cents. Charleston green peas are quoted at $1 75 per crate, and Savannah do at $2 50.

The commercial prominence of the peace; its close proximity to the Haralson gold mines all point to our town as a fit and suitable place. Congressmen of the United States, look out. The veracious Post understands that Zacli. Chandler has “brought with him to Washington several quaint aud curious forms of profani ty of bis own invention during his late respite from Lho active cures of office. It is also said that one of his oaths is liable to be fifteen minuets in passing a given point” The Georgia State Medical Con vention at Atlanta elected the follow- lowing ofifleers: President—John Thud JohnBtou, Atlanta. 1st Vice President—W.

Gen eral Johnston gazed upon it long and in silence nml turned away without a word; other parts of the cemetery were visited and the party returned to this most sacred spot in (lie beau tiful city of the dead. Again he gazed for a long* time on the lonely soldier who keeps his perpetual guard in that holy spot and turned away with his hands lilted to heaven and with the simple expression, “My God!” This was all, hut the tears which stood in the eyes of the grey headed soldier and the tremor so plainly heard in his voice were more eloquent than the choicest words could have been. The Editor of the Cedartown Ex press, who, wo believe, is an old bach elor, is trying to worm himself into the good graces of the young ladies of Cedartown by boasting of their beauty. Now we have no doubt that the Joting ladies of Cedartown are beautiful, but if our brother Rad ley wants to find the genuine I’.Gs. in G., let h|im come to Carrollton. The above is from the Carrollton Times. If brother Sharpe is trying to spoil our chances at Carrollton with the “genuine P. Gs. in G.” he ought to tell ua. Why the deuce do you preface with “who, we believe, is an old bachelor.” Ah! me. How wily those mung men are. Do us the favor, go6d brother, and take it all back. WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, April, 19 1878. About one half the regular appro priation bills are through the House, and now either before Conference Committees or awaiting action by the Senate. The others will be push- id through the House, after Bpeedy reports from the House Committees and then will commence in earnest the work of attempting to reconcile the ideas of the House, which in the main look to an economical admin istration of the Government, with those ol' the senate, winch uro favor able amidst the general stagnation ol business and falling off of it venue to the continuance of the old extrava gance in expenditures The proceedings of yesterdays Democratic House caucus seem to in dicate that Representatives under stand that something more than mer money savings important us that ii dopendson harmony of action in sup port of the bills as they left the House. The Senate should yield on every item of difference in the appro priation bills. 1 hope it will be com pelled to do so. After these bill, will come up for consideration Sena tor Beck’s proposition, now popular in both Houses, of suspending pay ments to the sinking fund until the amount so Bet apart for the extinc tion of the public debt shall bo no greater than is demanded by existing law. Many millions of dollars have been wrung from impoverished peo ple in the* last ten years, for the fund which there was neither a moral ora legal obligation to raise. The repeal of the Bankrupt Law, already through the Senate by a nearly unanimous vote, will receive early attention in the House. So will the bill to compel the Pacific R. R. Companies to devote a portion of their indebtedness to tlfo United States, which passed the Senate last week, and which will unquestionably pass the House. Besides, there is the tariff bill of Mr. Woods, which is gaining friends daily. The collection of duties is much less expensive under this bill, trade is not burdened as before in its most vital parts, duties are prepared where they can most easily and sure ly he collected. None of the three measures last mentioned are strictly parly measures and the vote will not, on any of them, bo a party vote. The main party di- isions of the remainder of the s<.s- iou will be on the appropriation bills, the Democrats favoring a re duction of expenditures and the Re publicans an increase. The World, of New York, on yes terday gave us six columns of inter views of Senator Colliding with some man not named. Tho main points were that the Senator said there was a bargain between Governor Nichols, of Louisiana and “that man Hayes 4 ” and that Sherman and Stanley Mat thews were privy to it, that there had been more corruption in the civ il servi • in the first your of Hayes’ administration than in any prece ding four years; that he (Conkling) was the originator of the idea of an Electoral ; Commission, &c. The whole tone of the report showed bit ter contempt tor Hayes and the ad ministration; and every part of it, though showing many indications of having been inspired by Conkling, was so highly personal and indeco rous in its language that much doubt as to its authenticity prevail ed. ’File Senator said yesterday that the report was made up of parts of numerous conversations with a man who was his guest, and that much was given which he did not say, muoli that lie may have said but for gotten, aud much that lie said and still inaiutttincs. .Until he makei some formal and authoritative Btate ment on tho subject, the general opinion will be that his ideas, if not his words, are correctly given. Whether they are or not, the inter view takes rank as the most signifi cant ulfair since March 4 1877, and will unquestionably destroy whatever chance Mr. Conkling had of being hisown successor in the Senate. Austin. Seventh Congressional District. Dalton,'G a.,April 16th, 1878.

The transittof Mercury, which is to occur the Gih ot May. will be visi ble all over thb United States, and seven hours and a half will be con sumed in the liussnge.

Two French astronomers are on their way to Ogden, Utah, to make observations, that place being chosen because it is elevated, the air clear and dry and also because the transit will take place atJooal noon, Our brother chip ol the Cedartown Express, Mr. Radley, favored us with a cull yesterday, lie has a spright ly journal, and one that is justly pop ular, and our merchants will And it a good medium of communication with the good people of its section.— Pome Tribune.

The last case of manifest destiny is reported from the city of Evansville, Iml. A physician soon after leading his bride to the al tar, wrote a letter to a college friend in Northern Georgia, informing him of wlnvt hiul happened, and advising him, after the manner of a bride groom, to go and do likewise. The rising young lawyer replied from Newnan, Georgia, that lie would be very happy to marry if lie could only meet his ideal; and then followed a pen picture of ( the woman for whom liis soul languished, all the mental charms which found a place in his appreciation being duly mentioned in his description. While passing along Main street one day months af terward, the physician happened to see a young lady ol exquisile beauty and rure intelligence,and like a flash he recognized her as the embodiment of the lawyer’s dream. Ho made in quiries at once and learned that she lived in kentucky, and was visiting some friends in Evansville; and sub sequently lie procured, without her knowledge, one of her photographs and sent it to ihu promising young lawyer. This gentleman was pleas ed with the counterfeit presentment, and acknowledged by the next mail, that it was indeed the face of his ideal. Subaevuently, he paid a visit to her father’s house Jir Owensboro, and presented letters of int roduction from Messrs Stephens and Hill, and after a short courtship, destiny hud her way, the marriage ceremony be ing performed in the bap'isc church of tlie town late last week. ml investment—Buying a tele phone. “IVmplo bar torn down!” sai l lie; so the crusade women are at work in England.” The pretty girls in Utali used to marry Young, but they won’t any more.
