WHAT WAS ITt In the Louisville Courier-Journal of a recent date appeared a long description ot a wonderful iliower of flesh which fell in Hath county, Ky., on the 3rd inst. It is stated thj sun was shining in a cloudless sky when the occurrence took p ace, and that the fle*h full in flakea, leaving the marks of blood where they fell. The hogs and chickens devoured ■ lie flesh greedily, and one man who roasted some of it, pronounced it quite palatable. Some specimen# of the flesh were sent to Tref. J. Is. Smith, who gave it as his opirtion that they were the dfbd spawn of blftraohiaii reptiles which had been transported from ponds and swamps by currents oI wind, fend had lilJilnA'tc’.y fallen in Bath county. llr says similar instances have occurred befoie. •‘BRAZOS n OB:" COJCH’SIOS. Those ol our reader* who have enjoy ed the perusal of the swbove story in the Sunny South, have dofthtlets wnflderfd at its Midden disappearance from the columnscf that paper. In tho absence lof the gifted author, Maj. Sam VV. | Smldl, tve Will take the liberty of pre senting the public with the conclusion of this thrilling romance. We give it in the following brief synopsis: Jim Dougherty got tired of waiting for the death of (tarter, and boldly ran away with Mrs. Carter to Salt Lake City. As lor Carter, he was getting along very well, until be commenced reading an (lid copy of “ Minnie More-' land," which he bad drawn in a newspa per gift distribution in Atlanta. Tim' finished him. Unturned his face to the wall and dio'l. Blazon Dob, the hero of the story, went to New York and got a situation as usher in a first-class hash house, The other characters went to t he dickens. Enough! We have doubtless made a brother journalist hnpoy. "SIiKD TIME AND HARVEST;" nr. vr and doino. It being too early tor tia to open the ysolUical campaign for this year, we think our people conld not) do belter than to abstain, at least, during “seed ti me nml harvest,'' from a'l political ex cjit'-inent. It will come surely and s; oedily enough without, straining our— solves up to a premnMire pitch bf feal on the coming political issu -s. Times are haul i money fsearoe i eon- Bdunoe 1011, eto. Therefore, we have ••noujgli to do and to occupy our minds to grapple with these matters that arc on ue, that riso up above every other temporal thing like “ Uaiu|iios Ghost, and will not down at our bidding. YVo are in troublous limes, and noth ins; but "stout hearfa ami strong arms" wiM toko us to a haven of rest and plenty. Then let us “ he up and doing." Steer clear of all political excitement— for the present at least. Sow! for it is now “ seed time," that w e may reap rich fruits when the liar vest comes. At ISTAKt OF I.AIV AXD Of POLKT. YVe think our party in the lower house of Congress untile both a mistake ot law anil of policy whf>u they detorm ineil, hy resolution, to impeai'h William VV. Belknap, late SeclT'UfJ of War, alter hi* resignation, was accepted by l’r<“widoiit Grant. Impeachment is for the officer while in office; not for the private oitinn before he accepts office, or after he vacate*. TTie following extract from nn edito rial in the N. Y. of the 4th iust., covers I lie whole’gromul '■ 44 All the power of impeachment is derived, by implication from the tourth neotion of the aeootul arti-jle ol the Con stitution ol tho United Statoa- which is aa Follows: •• The l’rwMont, Viec-IVeaictwnt and all oir il officer* ot the United State*. haU be remov ed from ofic* on impeachment for. and *■ victionof, ti'iwon. Urt'oery. or otlK ' r Wg® crime* *ndmi*irao*nore.” This is. in term*, only a provision what punishment shall be inflicted on mi. peaohment ami conviction; but, in saying on what public officers it shall be tin ikjscsl it ulearly implies that all such otli aers shall lie liable to impeachment t ami it says “all civil officers of the United States,” which include* the Secretary of \Var—for be is s ob'il officer o' the Uni eil States. Assuredly, then, Mr. Belknap, while he was Secre tary of War, wag liable to impeach lueut ? Ishe so liable now ! He has resigned the office ol Secretary of War. His bus been acceptcvl. I be a eivi' officer ot the United States! He is uo more Secretary of ar than be was \vhen he was a babe, one day old. H- was nut liable to impeach meut then. Why t Because he was not a civil oih- Ler ot the Uuited Slate*, and tor uo •other nason. And he is uo more a elvil olictfr now than ho wife wlfcn lie was owe day old, and, consequently, lie in no nWfre'subject to impeachment now than he was then. Tbe Seventh aulwlivision of seatltn seoond, article first, of the Constitution of the Obited States, provides that “Judgment in cases of impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from office, and disqualification to hold any office of hondr, trust or profit under the United Statesand the illustrious Mr. Justice B'ory, in commenting on this provision, wtil remarks : “ If, then, there must he a judgment ol trout office, it would seem to follow, that the Constitution contemplated, that the party was still m office at the time ol impeachment." From the above we see, there being no authority of law for iinpeaolimeftt in Ifulknap's case, the policy, as a matter of course, is bad. ’Twould be con sti ned as a party measure ; a personal vindicative strike at the Radical party, instead of a movement aided by ail honest men, to remove corrupt officials ; to see the laws vindi •sated, and to force tho.-e in power to run the government on the plan pre scribed by the Constitution, and laws made in pursuance thereto. L*?t impeachment alono, and leave the odium with him who accepted the resig nation of ’* those under fire,’ 1 The national resident Democratic com mittee have completed tlieir organisation, and established headquarters at No. 1,.. 324 F street, near the Kbbitl House, Washington.

Mr. Blaine, of Mine, essayed a few days ago, lo tackle Mr. Lamar, of Mis sissippi, and went ahoii; it irt his brashest way. But he woke up the wrong pas senger and came out of the contest with a very black eyo. Blaine WAS completely discoinfitted. Old \V. D. Kelley fcild he had never be fore aee’i BUuh Utter defeat, and Ben Wade, who was on the floor of the House, declared that Umar a as a giant. Eveu the cold blooded lloar pr nounoed it tire ablest speech he ever heard. It seems that Air. Blaine, who is no lawyer, attempted to expound what ho knew lit tle or nothing about, and so full into : ust such a trap as lie Imd successfully set for others. The Philadelphia Times says : “Asa reward for his temerity, for the first time in all his Congressional experi ence, Biaitie found himself utterly unable fo reply. He could not utter a word, I and eat the image of chagrin and morti fication. lie succeeded wolf in Ben Butler’s old role of bullying ami taunting the opposition into mdisoroet utterances, but all his ingenuity failed to throw the wily Lamar off his guard. With to day's defeat goes glimmering his last filial hope of the Presidency. Indeed, since the Belknap affair, has become pub lic, ho has ill his heart hul little hope. His friends began a few days ago to oast the weight ol their influence for Bristow, but it Belknap had not killed him, liis brief career as a luwer to-day certainly would have finished him." VVe are glad to record this tremend ous defeat of the Maine bully by a gen tleman who hails trom Mississippi, but Georgia born, Gi: O GI. A (fossil’- Josh Billings lectures in Atlanta to night. A large party of North Western ex cursionists arrived ill Atlanta on Wednes day. They will have a grand ball given them at the Kimball and Alarkam to night. The Atlanta Courier is getting on very well without its old reporter, M. D. Wood. Atlanta is furnishing a large crop ol anonymous newspaper correspondents. They arc attempting to manufacture a Governor. The Athens Oeorjfitm thinks'that the poet, Randall, would make a good Gov. , rnor. No doubt of it, but he already occupies : higher position as the editor of a strung, high toned paper. The editor of the Geneva Lamp wants to marry, and consequently has reduced the price of his paper to ono,dollar a year. Hope he’ll get enough to buy a paper collar xud a pair of spurs. On Inst Thursday Gov. Smith appoint ed Mr. 11. G. Wrights of the Augusta Chronicle, State Printer, in place of H. A. Alston, resigned. The o. nnty committees of Hall a nd Dawson have issued their proclamations, and the political ball is tairly moving in Georgia. Some of die more (sensible negiv.es of Atlanta and Fulton oouniy propose to form an anti-emigration society, and to establish in connection therewith an in telligence bureau for the purpose ot aiding skilled laborers to secure profit.!-. ll - employment.

Irwington Southerner: We apsin warn you, now before it foo late, tot to plant too much cotton. Be certain to plant enough corn to do yon the i,. xt vest'.

Try it, my com: try men. and yoh wilt b'Ots the ndtvproducer who penned this article, and decide that home-raised provisions are the sweetest, and you will he recompensed far the r.b sense of of your usual number of cotton bales by the cheetfnl looks of your neatly dressed, well fed wife aud chil dren. The dealers in commercial fertilizers are offering to “take pay in cotton at fifteen cents a pound." The planters regard it as a bold backing up ol prices. These two facts, says the Macon Jele graph, “may in fact explain why. with iiucli an outlook as the cotton market now presents, the planting interest are making largely increased prearations for seeding the next crop, and they also go to show that the anticipations expressed by a leading Liverpool house the other day, than iTcoUor. price below the point of compensation, must necessarily dimm ish the product, are in fact, (as we said they were at the time,) groundless, with a season equal to that which produced the cotton crop of 1870-1.

Mr. Clymer hit the nail on the head when lie said that the case of the la'e Secretary ol War is but the proper out growth, the true expomiit of tlie cor ruption, the oxtrhVaganoe, the misgov eroment tfiat have caused this land for years past. A prominent tiketrlber of the I lon=Py who is on one of the investigating com mittees, is of the opinion that three of the seven members of the 'Cabinet will be impeached as the result ot examina tions into affairs of Executive Depart ments. A b'rnado from Quincy to north lowa atui liazlegreen. Wisconsin, almost to tally destroyed the homes of I,OJJ in habitants, ainl killed 41 outright. Later reports give the names and reduce the number killed to nine. Many tire fatal ly hurt, and 26 buildings totally destroy ed. The nomination of Richard 11. Dana, to succeed Schenek as Minister to the Court of St James, was a surprise to many persons, because it was tuiderstocd that no nomination would be sent to the Senate until after Scbeiick’s arrival hi this country. Dana’s appointment is, however, regarded as an exoellent one. Accounts of a tornado which passed over a part of Nortl eastern Missouri, Friday, say the little town of Sterin key, in Monroe county, was entirely de molished. At Ivensaler stat ion, on Mis souri and Texas Railroad, two children were carried away by the storm, and not yet found- The destruction of houses, barns, outbuildings, Ac., was very great. The tornado was about two hundred yards wide. A ruble dispatch from London reports that Lord Aylesford’s wife has eloped with the Marquis of Blandford, eldest sou of the Duke of Warborongh. Lord Aylbslord was called home from India on urgeut affairs some time ago. All liquor" entering the grounds of the Centennial exhibition are to be tax ed ten cents a gallon, and the committee expect to realise $50,000 therefrom. This calls for 500,000 gallons.

The ekbiting scenes that followed the Be’knap exposure led to great excite ment and disorder in the house of rep resentatives, and the New York Bulletin thinks there would have been blows on Tuesday ami Wednedddy but for “the counsels of such men as Hoar, lvasson, Hill, of Georgia, and Lamar,” through whose efforts all troubles ot that nature were averted. Some day must necessarily elapse be fore tlie Committee on the Judiciary will be prepared to report articles of im peachment against Belknap. No mate rial testimony, if any at all, having been taken since that of Marsh, under the present circumstances, is 6f no avail in support ot the charge which the House has already informed the Senate it will make good. It is said that more than a week ago six or seven persons in the vicinity of Marsh and Evail's late trading post were summoned, and that their ar rival may soon be expected.
