Bullock, writing to the New York
Herald , compares his flight to that of
ex-Governor Jenkins and Treasurer
Jones, who left the .State, carrying
with them the funds in Treasury and
the seal of Georgia. The effrontry
of this comparison will he apprecia
ted when it is remembered that Gov
ernor Jenkins and Treasurer Jones
were neither fugitives from justice
nor from Georgians. They placed
the funds and the seal of the State
out of reach of a contemptible mili
tary satrap in order to prevent them
from falling into the hands of the
very knave who now has the bare
faced impudence to com pare his rot
ten administration with that of
Charles J. Jenkins.
The Columbus Times says the
many wrrm friends of the Hon. A.
H. Stephens will be much gratified
at hearing that since the regular
spring and warm weather setting in
he has been fast coming up to what
his health was before his very serious
attack in December last, which kept
him in bed for between four and five
months. The following is an ex
tract from a letter dated the 2d inst.;
and written by Mr. Stephens to a
friend, who made a visit to him a
few weeks ago: “I have improved a
great deal since you were here. I
am now able to sit up in my roller
chair the greater part of the day and
roll in hall and on porticos. I now
go to the dinner table at dinner and
supper, and my breakfast I take in
mv room. How long this may last,
I cannot tell. A relapse may come
at any time. Ido not write or read
much yet; it fatigues me too much,
especially writing.” Mr. Stephens
handwriting seems almost as steady
and strong as usual. We earnestly
hope that he will not only be restored
to his usual health, but that he will be
able to go to Washington at the com
mencement of the session of Con
gress in December next, that the
Democracy and country generally
may then have the benefit of his
wise counsels and eminent services.
Brigham Young's Ambition,
Galveston News.
Brother Brigham Young, or, as
Mrs. Partington has it, Bigamy
Young, is getting tired of the intrud
ing Gentiles at Great Salt Lake, and
proposes an exodius toward the land
of God and liperty. It appears that
his pioneers, who have been spying
out the advantages ofnew locations,
have already madeco*^ v lerable prep
arations for the saints Vnie Mexi
co—established several set>l be ira- in
Kouifek i.b.
and prepared the way for many oth
er Mormons, who are expected to fol
low.
In explanation Of the movement
it is said that the arrangement was
made with Brigham Young several
years ago to go to the reign traversed
by the rout of the Texas Pacific Rail
road, settle upon and occupy it, and
ultimately take the contract for build
ing that portion of the line. It is now'
argued that the removal of a large
body of Mormons to the settlements
is the result of preparation to resume
work upon the road.
The Ban Francisco Chronicle asset ts
that Gov. Axtell, formerly of Utah,
but now Governor of New Mexico,
has for months been quietly working,
paving the way for the establishment
of anew Mormon empire in the lat
ter country, with an ultimate view
to the occupancy of old Mexico.
The Savannah News, of Tuesday,
contains the following: “L. M. W.”
expendsa postal card to say: “I think
your laudation of the country press is
rather thin, when it is remembered
that all dailies consider the rural
weeklies in their way,” Our corres
pondent will probably open his eyes
when we tell him that our traveling
agents have standing instructions,
whenever they are canvassing in a
section where a country weekly is
published, to ask people to take their
country paper first and then take the
Morning News. Moreover they are
not allowed to solicit any job work
that dan conveniently be done in a
country otfice, nor are they allowed
to take any legal advertising that
ought of right, to be printed in the
local weekly. There may be uailies
who regard the country press as ri
vals, but there is no such daily pub
lished in Savannah. On the contrary,
we have found them powerful aux
iliaries, and our largest lisls of sub
scribers come from communities and
sections where the best and most
prosperous country weeklies are pub
lished. Our correspondent is several
leagues from land in his ideas about
newspapers, and we trust he will
look on the foregoing information as
a rope thrown to fetch him ashore.
River Improvements-
Col, Frobel and Gen. Tilton, we
learn front S. P. Smith & Son, will
arrive in Rome in a few clays to com
mence work on our rivers. Col. Fro
bel will have charge of the work on
the Coosa, and Gen. Tilton that of the
Etowah.
When Col. Frobel strikes the first
blow on the Coosa, it is only the com
mencement of a work that will open
the river from this place to Mobile.
The next session of Congress will give
to that river a sufficient amount to
commence work on the shoals below
Greensport, and every successive
year an appropriation until the work
is completed. We hope to see steam
boats arriving from Mobile in four
years from to-day at the outside. —

• Breaking up a Setting Hen
[From the Danbury News.]
The city man who goes into the
couutry to spend the summer must
make up his mind to learn something
of the routine of rural life. A New
York man who is spending the hot
weather season with a family on
Pine street was asked by the lady of
the house if he would take a hen off
the nest, as it wanted to set and she
didn’t want it to.
“Certainly,” said he and imme
diately started out to the’barn where
the hens were kept, to crush out the
maternal prospects of this particular
one.
He went straight to the nest to lift
her off, and reached out his hand for
that purpose, but immediately drew
it back again and tucked it up under
the other arm, and squeezed it a lit
tle, while he drew up his lips a little
as if about to whistle something.
Then he stood there and started at
the hen. and she lifted up her head
and stared back at him, winking her
eyes with singular velocity.
“Get off, won’t you?” said he after
a pause.
She made no response. He drew
out his hand aud looked at a red
spot on one of the knuckles, and then
put the knuckle in his mouth to cool
it, looking all the while at the hen,
and wondered how on earth she
moved so quickly. The longer he
eyed her, the less inclined he felt to
touch her, and finally he climbed up
a post to a beam which ran over the
nest, and working his way out until
he got just above the hen, took off
his hat and shook it at her and ad
vised her to “get.” But she only
looked at him with one eye at a time,
and clucked ominously. He told her
if she didn’t leave he’d come down
there and kick her through the barn,
but immediately gave up the blood
thirsty design when he reflected that
it was a dumb animal and couldn’t
reason like a human being. Then he
happened to think of his pants, which
were white linen, and rubbed his
fingers on the beam to find them fuil
of black dust, which led him to work
his body around to look at his pants,
and while making this very natural
move he suddenly slipped, made a
plunge to renew liis hold, shrieked
for help, slipped again, and then
came down on top of the hen and the
nest, smashing them both to the
floor, upsetting a barrel, and filling
the air with dust, feathers, hen-noises
and shrieks. When the family
reached the barn, the unfortunate
man, looking something like a circus
poster on legs, had gotten on his feet,
and was turning around and rubbing
his head in an abstracted manner,
and every time he turned, an ome
lette on a white linen base came to
view, while the hen stood up in the
furtherest corner on one leg with a
look of mingled astonishment and re
proach on her countenance. After
five minutes industrious application
with a chip, the gentleman was es
corted into the house, where his head
was bathed in spirits and his comforts
generally attended to.

A correspondent of the Dawson
Journal in discussing the gubernato
rial question, under the caption of
“Who for Governor?” says:
Several names are already before
the people, some of them have been
prominently spoken of by many of
the journals of the State, but there
is one who has but barely been men
tioned by the papers, eminently
qualified to fill the office of Chief
Magistrate of our State. He is well
known morally and socially; and Im
proved by his past record and pres
type of the Christian patriot aniTplii
lanthropist. With these character
istics, he has combined, in a high de
gree, that magnanimity of mind,
and dignity of character, that raises
him above combinations with politi
cal intriguers or designing dema
gogues. I refer to the Honorable
Herschel V. Johnson, and with all
due deference to the ability and pa
triotism of all others who have been
spoken of for this position, there is
no man in Georgia, in my opinion,
so well adapted, under the present
circumstances, and would be more
acceptable to the masses, than H. V.
Johnson. We believe the voters of
this county are becoming anxious
that the ‘office should seek the man,’
and not the man the office, as has
been the programme, to a very great
extent, in these latter days.
A Centennial correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun says: “There are ru
mors of great uneasiness among the
hotel proprietors, owing to the,very
small number of visitors, and it has
been stated that one or two of the
largest of the hotels will close up if
business does not become much bet
ter within tlie next ten days or two
weeks.” For this the railroads are
alone to blame. They could each
have made an immense amount of
money if they had put their rates
down low enough to tempt people to
go to the Exposition, but they want
ed to make it all, and the result is
the great mass of the people are stay
ing at home. The roads ought to see
that it is not too late yet for them to
to crowd their trains daily and thus
make their fortunes, but most of
them seem to have had their eyes
dazzled to blindness by the brilliant
prospect of making a fortune in six
months.
Centennial Gouging.— Mr. A.
W. Reese, of the Telegraph and Mes
senger, writes from Washington to
his paper as follows :
“A gentleman who went centen
nialing last week with his wife and
two daughters tells me that the affair
is bound to be a grand success, judg
ing from the moderate prices charged
by the patriotic landlords of that
city. They had three moderate sized
rooms for one day, and the bill was
$25 for him and his wife, sl6 for one
of his daughters, and sls for the
other; in all, for the four, only $56
per day. All of which proves there
is nothing greedy about the average
Philadelphia landlord, and that he
scorns to take undue advantage of a
guest i”
George Washington was the only
soldier President we ever had who
was a success, and his success was not
in any sense, due to the attributes
that made him a commander. All
the men who have been made Presi
dents since because they were sol
diers, are landmarks of calamity in
our history, and the last experiment
is so disastrous in this particular that
the country cannot forget it or recov
er courage to try another soldier in a
very great white. It is not to be said
that Gen. Hancock might or would
be a repetition of our bad fortune,
but only that thedistates for military
Presidents that Grant has given puts
aside the claims of all soldiers, how
ever good.
The kicking propensities of the
mule are certainly exaggerated. As
we write, a farmer over by the to
bacco barn is pulling one around to
his place in front of the wagon by the
tail. What gentleness the faithful
creature exhibits. How meekly he
suomits to the superior will of his
master. llow—ah, by the way, the
man is evidently an Accomplished
acrobat—that double somersault he
threw over the wagon was very skill
fully executed, indeed.— Franklin

It is the Denominational Organ of Georgia Baptists,

THE DAILY AMERICAN.
Nashville, Tennessee.
THE centralization of power in Washington,
and the control of currupt combinations
of the day in the Government at various points
throughout the country to fleece the people of
their hard earnings, has justly excited the pub
lic. The unexampled policy of paying billions
of debt in gold, at a period of general stagna
tion in business; the disposition manifested,
if not to convert the government into an abso
lute monarchy, to reduce the free people of
America to absolute serfdom; the continual
cry of the tax gatherer; the building up of the
few at the expense of the many; the excessive
inequalities of burdens imposed by the Gov
ernment on its own citizens, all of w hom are
entitled to equal privileges; the results of all
these in the general prostration of business af
ford just cause for alarm. They afford also a
just cause for a demand lor a change in the
National administration of public affairs,
it is therefore the duty of the Democracy,
which in its purity is the representative ami
defender of the ’ people, and of the people
themselves who are really the Democracy, to
correct the growing evils which threaten to
overwhelm nil in common ruin. There must
be a change ot the National administration
before there is either safety or real reform.
Tiiis is the vitalqucstion beiore the people.
The American is on the side of the people
and of eliange. It has its views and expresses
them from day to day, and while doing so
frankly and honestly, it also fairly and as
fully as its space will permit, gives the views
and arguments of the other side. Jt claims
nothing outside of the interests of the people,
and seeks only to inform them truthfully of
all matters in which they themselves are
mostly concerned.
On the eve of the Centennial of the Republic
and of a Presidential campaign of the greatest
moment to the people, it behooves the Con
servative and Democratic masses of "this sec
tion to supply themselves, in time, with polit
ical news, facts and general political informa
tion Irons the nearest central distributing
point. The American, issued from the cap
ital of Tennessee, and supplying as well, much
ol the ten itoryol Kentucky, Georgia and Ala
bama, is the only Daily Democratic journal
published within a radius of more than a hun
dred and fifty miles in which there are nearly
if not quite a million of people. It furnishes
to its readers, at heavy expense, the full vol
ume of telegraphic reports of the Western As
sociated Press, including the Congressional
proceedings of the most interesting session for
many years, in whieh the Democrats, for the
first time since the war, have a majority in tin
Lower louse and nearly half the members ol
the Senate.
The season is rapidly approaehing and near
at hand when will be discussed political issues
affecting the National, and State elections ol
1876. The Presidential election overshadows
all others in ils importance at this time, not to
our section alone, but to friends and defenders
of Republican institutions throughout the
Union. Though times may be hard, the very
occasion of hard times is traceable to sources
with which the people ought to be acquainted,
and. ot which i; is the mission of the Ameri
can to inform them, and we think it is not in
opportune or immodest to at. the attention of
the masses of the people in its columns, which
will be always lull and reliable. The sugges
tion to Democrats and Conservatives ofTennes
see and States adjacent, to help extend its cir
culation and enlarge its sphere of usefulness,
is the more confidently made in view of the
very grave political and financial questions
which are now agitating the public mind, and
which will enter largely into the approaching
Presidential canvass, and perhaps determine
the character of the Government itself in the
future. The American has undeviatinglv
stood forth in defense of the Constitution, of
the rights of the States, and of individual lib
erty. Now, when all these are assailed by a
powerful and corrupt centralized administra
tion, it pledges itself anew to devote all its
means and energies to political reform and the
rcstoratii nof the old landmarks and limita
tions of delegated authority and of the stand
ard of ofiieial honor.
By a law ot Congress which went into effect
on the first of January, 1875, the publishers ot
daily newspapers arc required at the time of
mailing, to prepay all postage, which relieves
the subscriber of the payment of postage at
the oilice of delivery. Under this law 7 the post
age will be less than the previous law. The
postage on the Daily will be 60 cents instead of
$1.20, on the Wceklv, 15 cents instead of 20
cents: and on the Semi-weekly 20 cents instead
of 40 cents. Our subscription prices will,
therefore, include the postage, and will be as
follows, by mail, payable in advance :
Daily, one year, $10.60, six months $5.30, three
months, $2.65, one month sl. Semi-weekly, one
year, $4.20, six months $2.10, three months $1.05.
Weekly, one year $2.15, six months sl.lO, three
months, 55 cents.

send our Mammoth Weekly, postage paid, at
$2 each.

as stories, talcs, poems, scientific intelligence
