district
Advices reoeivcd from Havana in
dicate that the war in Cuba is at an
end. Peace has been officially pro
claimed.
Senator Gordon is to deliver the
oration at the decoration of the
graves of the Confederate dead at
Frederick, Md., in June.
. The Free-masons of New York
have resolved not to recognize any
one as a Free-inason who denies the
existence of a Supreme Being.
The American Medical Association
decided at their meeting in Buffalo,
N. Y., to meet in Atlanta on the
first Monday in May, 1879. Score
another for ths Gate City.
A dreadful disaster occurred in the
English channel a few days ago,
when two German iron-clad vessels
collided resulting in the loss of four
hundred lives.
The life of the, Emperor William,
of Germany seems to bo charmed.
Twice curing the last month has he
been fired at—the last time wounded
seriously. Dr. Nobeling, a Socialist,
lodged eighteen slugs in his body
and arms. Great fears were enter
tained of his recovery, blit the latest
news is satisfactory. Ilis son has
been appointed Regent of the Em
pire.
That was rather a sensational
bunging of Edward Webb, a negro,
at Mansfield, 0., the first of this
month. The execution was to have
been private, blit a crowd of 30,000
broke down the enclosures, tore away
fencing and effected every means
possible “to see the sight.” Several
roofs gave in, the crowd upon them
being so heavy. No violence was
done tha body. The crowd only
wanted to see, you know.
The president has signed the bill
forbidding the retirement of any more
‘green bnefifl. This i» another -point
gained over the bond holders and will
be of incalculable benefit to the coun
try. The con traction ists had as well
hang up now, for awhile, for light
still continues to break and is begin
ning to shed its rays upon the poor
er classes; they have been in dark
ness and poverty long enough. Now
for another issue of greenbacks. The
time will soon coino when it will be
done.
The ceremonies of unveiling the
Andrew Johnson monument occur
red last Wednesday week in the pres
ence of 3000 people. His three chil
dren had it constructed. From its
description it is a fine one and will
for; ages to come show our people
whore the remains of one of our
grest men lie. The only inscription
on it is:
Andrew Jounbon,
Seventeenth President. of tho United States,
Born Dec. SO, 1808,
Died July 31, 18TB.

Postmaster General Key has
a harmonious party and that’s some
thing in the general politiqial con-
fussion these dftya. Iiis party seems
to consist only of himself, without
any reasonable prospect of increas
ing and be is likely to keep it har
monious as long as he cau keep him- 1
self in harmony frith himself, lie
may bo out-voted in the cabinet, in
Congress and by the oountry at large,
but the tranquility of his party un
der his leadership is assured.—Phil
adelphia Times,
Governor Hendricks has been in
terviewed concerning the Potter in
vestigation. He regards the Presi
dential question as irrevocably set
tled unless it be shown that offices
have been given by the President as
rewards for their rascality in coun
ting in Hayes; in the event of this
then Hayes can and ought to be im
peached. Governor Hendricks thinks
this investigation will develop facts
that were drowned oxxt while the 8 to
7 commission was in session. Gov
ernor H. is sound, on that question,
sure.
The following significant manifes
to has been issued by J, E. Bryant,
Chairman of the State Executive
Committee of the Republican party
in Georgia: “We believe the party
should be fully organized through
out the State, and that a thorough
canvass of each Congressional dis
trict should be made by Re
publican speakers. It may be lest in
some districts to support Independent
candidates; bat if this policy is deci
ded upou it Should be by a Republi
can Conventidii properlv called, and
delegates fairly chosen.”
The Seventh District.
Nothing of importance will be
done in this district until after the
nmnltauting convention meets at
Ringgold, July 4th. 'Several gentle
men are spoken of as being the prob
able nominee. Most prominent
among whom are Mon. James Brown
and Judge Geo. N. Lester.
Either of these gent lemon if nom
inated would make a capital race and
if elected would servo the people
faithfully and woll. They both have
good records. Air. Brown served
with distinction in the Constitution
al Convention; Judge Lester is now
a Superior Judge and is a good one.
Tho Democratic banner would not
suffer if either of these gentlemen be
permitted to carry it; the truth is, an
indwelling belief is entertained by a
great many that Suoobss has been
written on the walls of (he party ami
that Dkpbat stares the opposition
in the face. Whether this be so or
not so, the. contest is going to be
warm and spirited and we hope, in u
fair-minded, liberal and honorable
way by both parties, There is no
use of bad blood being engendered.
Tlie people may differ, and differ hon
estly—let them so differ, but in the
name of Peace, let the coming cam
paign be conducted on a liberal scale,
each party conceding the other a
right to their opinions. Then wheth
er we beat or are defeated, we will
come out of the light with the con
viction that wo did our whole duty
as citizens and ns men.
Commoncomant Week.
Soon that all important day to the
college graduate will have arrived.
Oomm®ncementllnyl M Whab a chain
of recollections does the mention of
that word produce to tho older heads
who have long sinooquitted the walla
of their Alma .Wafer and have been
busying themselves with the affairs
of this life. Th&ir minds at. ones re
vert to the days of their youth .u:ul
the many pleasant, childish buoyant-
spirited companions of the time.
Many years, perhaps, have come
and gone since then, y«*t the mere
mention of Commencement Day, caus
es the images of those old companions
to Hash with electrical rapidity and
appear as vividly us if it wero yester
day.
Sohool-boy and school-girl d^tjra
are the happiest. They never are en
joyed but once. They last too short
a time. No one will confess their
manhood days as free and quiet as
their school days.
Young folks do m-t appreciate
their opportunities, ‘i.'hoy ' syein to
think they never will gn>v old. Ah!
could the boys and girls who may
chance to read this article fully un
derstand and appreciate the respon
sible duties that await them on their
debut into the bustling, busy world,
they would not cast aside lightly the
gayeties and pleasures, the friends
aud friendships they now enjoy. The
day is not far distant when they will
come in conflict with other minds
that know perhaps as much as they.
There is a strange idea existing
among young students. They live
in a world all to themselves. They
seem to think that they are the “king
bees” of this world. It is natural.
They can’t help it. They would not
if they could. The world don’t blame
them, for the world itself “has been
there”. All were once young and
the old are fully alive to the friv
olities of youth.
In all candor, we say to the boys
and girls: “Go it while you are
young.” We send greetings to all
our old friends and college mates
whereever they may be either in
America or Europe find in their name,
we desire to- wish our successors a
happy, gay and joyful “Commence
ment Day.”
Last Sunday a week ago Dallas, in
Paulding comity 1 , was the scene of a
terrible outrage. Dr. Robinson had
a negio employed by the name of Jo
nah Gresham. Tho negro on Sun
day morning applied to the doctor
for some m'onty. On account of the
doctor’s being confined to his bed
from illness, he could not pay the
negro anything. The negro becamo
very much enraged and used insul
ting language to Mr. RobinBon. The
doctor endeavored to get up from his
bed and resent the insult; the negro
seeing him struck him with his fist.
About this time the doctor’s wife
carrle in and went to her husband’s
rescue. As soon as she entered the
room the beastly negro drew, out a
knife and cut the lady on the breast
and neck. Other members of the
family rushed in to assist. We un
derstand two other ladies were seri
ously cut by the negro. He made
his escape but has since been captu
red. We are no advocates of lynch-
law; but that negro deserves the
worst punishment that could be in
flicted/ Too .little regard is paid to
life, in th s our day.
Speculations on the Outcome ef
Fraud invostigati n.
Tho question is often asked, says
the Mtfjfeippi Clarion, what Will fol
low the th* investigation? Giving
the true answer to the question the
editor says: “Necessarily the solution
of this inquiry will depend upon the
testimony. If the proof is oleur that
Air. Tilden and not Mr. Mayes re
ceived- a majority of the votes of ei
Iher Florida or Louisana, and that
the majority of .one docluml for the
hitter by tho electoral oommUsion
was not obtained, it will ho" difficult
to understand how Mr. Ilayes can
rssisfc the moral pressure which will
be brought to bear upon him to step
down and out. And if it be estab
lished that he did actually connive
at or did have guilty knowledge of
frauds by which the people were
cheated in the election and their sov
ereign right bartered away, impeach
ment. for high, crimes and misde
meanors will suggest itself as a natu
ral consequence. But these ques
tions ure not properly in order at
this stage of the proceeding. The
first duty is to investigate the char
ges. Tho honor of tho nation is ut
stake. The result must determine
what is to follow. In the language
of the Congressional Democratic ad-
dress issued on the eve of the instal
lation of Mr. Ilayes, ‘Lot tho crime
be rnado so odious that the experi
ment will not be again attempted of
installing a usurper in the highest
office within tho gift of tho people.”
At Americas, Ga., a few days ago
a deed was committed that bus but
few parallels in this country, if in
any country. A man named John
W. Caldwell murdered his wife, three
children and his wife’s sister. It is
believed that the instrument us d
was a smoothing iron and a grubbing
hoe. One of his children ran under
the house and escaped a similar death.
After enacling the heart-rending
tragedy, Caldwell jumped into a well
near by; but this failing to kill him,
he climbed upon the top of his gin
house and fell head-long and broke
his neck. Various causes are assign
ed, but surely he must have been in
sane.
The Ilawkinsville, (Ga.) Dispatch
relates one of the strangest incidents
we have evJr n-ml. 1 Mr. William
Player, of Wilcox ocunty, well known
in llawkinsville, died last week,
ills neighbors were assembled at his
residence to prepare for the burial,
and to aid tho family in paying the
last tribute to the departed father.
The corpse had been shrouded and
laid out about six hours, and the
members of the family were weeping
and lamenting their loss, when the
dead man arose to a sitting posture
and began talking. Of course every
body was frightened for awhile. Air.
Player talked some time, and finally
lay down quite (Toad. The burial
took pluck at the appointed time,
lie was a Universalist while living*
and it was upon tins subject he talk
ed after being laid out for tho coffin.

General John 0. Fremont was
yesterday nominated by the Presi
dent to be governor of Arizona. It
was an eminently proper nomination.
The name of General Fremont is as
sociated with the birth and helpless
days of the Republican party. The
story of this man is a romance, full
of picturesque points and features of
human interest. Sanguine to a fault,
noble in many respects, brave, pos
sessed of generous impulses, connect
ed with vast.enterprises, and once
reputed to have vast wealth, the
candidate for the Presidency of a
little more than twenty years ago, is
now in want, without having been
dissolute. Ho who was once near
being President of all .the United
States is now glad to be Governor of
one Territory.
A Fact W jrth Knowing.
Set a pitcher of ice water in a
room inhabited and in a few hours it
will have absorbed nearly all tho per
spiration gasBes of the room, the air
of which will become purer, but the
water utterly filthy. This depends
upon the fact that the water has the
faculty of condensing and thereby
absorbing temperature, a pint of wa
ter will contain a pint of cathodic
acid gas and several pints of ammon
ia. This capacity is nearly doubled
by reducing to that of ice. Hence
water kept in a room awhile is al
ways unlit for use; and should bo
often removed, whether it has become
warm or not. And for the same
reason tho water in a pump should
pe pumped out in the morning before
any is used. That which has stood
in a pitcher over night is not fit for
coffee water in the morning. Impure
water is as injurious to health as im
pure uir, and every person should
provide the means of obtaining fresh
pure water lor our domestic use—
