Arthur FTair 15, Chairman
HON. JAMES M, SMITH '
We ropy from the JlartwclT &uo the
following kind words concerning the
Ifon.-.James M. Smith, of tliiw county,
the ciitor, Mr. Henson-, speaks of what
he knows, as lie was a member of the
House with Mr. Smith, and had ample
Opportunity to observe his standing ami
o-eftrincsH as a member. Fir sending
Mr. Smith- to-tin: Legislature, Oglethorpe'
enmity did honor to herself,- ami there is
a universal desire to sec him returned
without opposition. We do m>t say this
? i disparagement of the merits of any
other gentleman, but iir recognition of
- Hverit.s of Mr. Smith's services in the
fm-rt, The opinion expressed by Mr.
lleßSonf is that which ia entertained
throughout the State.- Mr. Smith's labors
*ri the Agricfrltural Committee, acting
Most of thtr time as its ehairman-, his po
sitions on the floor of the House, and his
Xrgmirenß on the Fertilizer question,
entitle him to the respect and confidence
of all. With the experience of one ses
sion :•* a legislator toguide him, we may
confidently expect to-see him one of the
foremost members of the next House.
The Sun says :■
We had a pleasant visit from Hon. J.
>l. Smith, of Oglethorpe,,last week, who
stopped in' passing to and from Anderson
tille, S. 0., where lie had gone to see
the new cotton factory of Col.- E. E. Har
rison’s, which makes- the best thread in
the work! from seed cotton. He was
Well pleased with it, and will likely put
ftp one of the same kind. Oglethorpe
rliould be proud of Jim, and send him
back to the Legislature. We know the
county has no better man in it. We
watched him through the last session,
*nd he was always at his post and was one
of the most sensible and useful men in
Abe House,
HON. SAMUEL LUMPXIN.
AVe publish elsewhere a card by Mr,
Arthur Haire, chairman of the Demo
catic party of Oglethorpe county, for a
public meeting, on the Ist Tuesday in
October next, to consider the selection of
■ a suitable candidate fo.' Senator of the
20th senatorial district, at the election in
December nett.
We have been very much gratified to
learn from most reliable sources that the
gentleman whoso name heads this arti
• clo will receive a cordial support in the
vcountie* of Madison and Elbert; and
we are sure there will be no opposition
.in this county. A large number of the
best citizens of Madison county concede
that the candidate should come from
• Oglethorpe, and this opinion is the gem
eral sentiment of tire people of Elbert,
Mr, Lumpkin’s course one year ago met
the approval of the best citizens of the
district, and his claim upon the people
will now be recognized. A vigorous,
active, thoughtful man Mr, Lumpkin is,
old enough to know his duty and young
enough to do it. He will make an in
telligent, useful and zealous member of
the Senate, in whom the whole people
of the district will take a just pride,
for he will represent all classes. His
speeches on the New Constitution have
been very highly complimented by the
people of Madison and Elbert counties.
Ho will address the people of this
county on tho first Tuesday of October
Boxt, sc* already announced. Let the
Democracy of Oglethorpe recommend
him to the district, and we believe his
candidacy will be acceptable to all, and
that he will be elected without opposi
tion.
A New York correspondent writes:
1 stood on the stoop of some offices, on a
public thoroughfare, talking to some
gentlemen. A young man passed who
recognized my friend. The passer was
small and slim, had a foreign look, and
his age could not have been thirty.
“ H on see that young roan,” said the gen
tleman. “He is one of the smartest
Ttrnng men in New York. He had a tine
position in one of our heaviest importing
houses. He was the confidential clerk of
the house, aud would Inve been trusted
with uncounted' gold***!Che bowse was
underseiling the market, and dealers
wanted to know how it was done. They
approached this young clerk,and he gave
Sis employers away. He gave tire pri
vate papers to the rival house, and at
night opened the counting-house to in
spection. It cost the firm $250,000 to
sett’e tip matters, and somebody paid the
clerk $5 ',OOO o i cord Yon that Ite kft
the city. The money burnt in his- pock
et-. lie went into speculation. From
that he wens to gambling, lie is now
poor as a church moose, with ih> bttsiaes*
and nobody to. trust him. Tr
do v. W.uie Hami*ton’s speech t
Eoekford has caused great sensation
arid atkls another woe to Jim- Blaine's
Insrvk'n. The Mrseottri Republican says:
“■ Whether Southern influence in nation

plored, ii is-a thing not likely to be pre
vented. There is no resisting the grand
patjiotlsai of the Rockford spc-ceh.

Northern man who can elicit more hearty
Bsspaose from, tire old American spirit.” -

twenty-four feet square, and from twen

of the wall" is of solid granite. Mr.- Un
thank brought with him a brick from
the wall,-which hr supposed to- have been
made 200 year:: before the time of Christ.
In- building this immense stone fence to
keep-out the Tartars, the builders never
attempted to avoid mountains or chasms
to save expense. For 1,300 miles- the
wall goes over plain and mountain, and
evt'-y foot of the foundation is solid ma
sonry. in some places the wall is built
smooth up against the bank, or canons,
or precipices, whee there is a sheer de--
scent of 1,000 feet. Small streams are
arched over, but in the larger streams
the wall runs to the water’s edge, and a
tower is built on each side. On the top
of the wall-there are breastworks, or de
fenses, feeing in and out, so the defend
ing force can pass from one tower to an
other without being exposed- to an ene--
my from either side. To calculate tire
time of building or cost of this wall is
beyond human skill. So far as the mag
nitude of the work is concerned, it sur
passes everything in l ancient or modern
times of which there is any trace. The
pyramids ef Egypt? are nothing compared

Knijidiin f Cotiipaxl,
. A letter from Latac-unga, Peru, gives
the story of the eruption of the volcano
of Cotopaxi, which took place June 25’.
Streams of water poured from all the
craters- at er.ee, on the Callao side, sweep
ing away everything in their course.
Another irresistible torrent followed the
course of Saquimal River. The hacienda
of Signor Donoso is in ruins: the very
soil is gone. Off the place of Signor
Larrea, nothing is left. The river car
ried off 500 head of cattle at pasture in
the fields. The Aluques River overflow
ed, and caused great damage. The Cut
ehieooverflowed carrying everything be
fore it, A splendid machine shop went
down like a card house at the ftrst rush
of waters ;so did various mills. The en
tire district was like a sea, and the inun
dation would have destroyed the city had
not the course of the floods been timely
diverted into tho river 'channel. Tire
total loss of life will reach, if it does not
exceed, 1,000 persons. At least 2,000
head: of cattle has been destroyed, and of
smaller animals the loss is much greater.
In the midst of the roar of writers and
the crashing of houses the volcano poured
out quantities of cinders, which gradual
ly darkened the whole face of the heav
ens and left Lataeunba in the profound
est obscurity from 1 in the afternoon
until 10 at night.

The bravery of the Belgian slater Caris,
who.vvhen on the top of thebelfiy of the
church of Ville sur Ourthe, in Belgium,
and while holding on his shoulders a
workman who had climbed there to fix a
lightning rod, endured without moving
and without a cry the pain produced by
molten lead falling upon his arm, and so
saved his careless companion from being
cast headlong to the ground, has made
his name carum tlarinn et venerabile. It
has also brought to the brave fellow a re
ward more sobstancial. The editor of
the London Builder, having recorded the
story and satisfied himself of its truth,
sent Caris a sum of money. The Belgian
Major-General Bartels appealed to the
oilicers of the army and got up a testimo
nial for him ; the King of the Belgians
forwarded ts him a special gift, in addi
tion ; and the Count of Flanders added
his name to the list of subscribers. We
learn that Caris has received some plots
of land, and that “ the rest of his life
will be easier than it has been.”
I)cmocrn?ic Senate in 1879.
The Washington Star (Republican)
figures up a Democratic majority in the
United States Senate in 1879. It says :
“In 1879 one-third of the Senators go
out, and presuming the political,
representation of the Northern and Wes
tern States remain unchanged in the
Senate, and that the places of the South
ern Republican Senators, Messrs. Spen
cer, Dorsey, Conover, Bruce and Patter
son, will be supplied by Democrats, the
Senate will then stand—Democrats, 38;
Republicans, 34; Independent, 1. Give
the Democrats the Louisiana and South
Carolina vacancies, and the Senate
would stand—Democrats 41; Republi
cans, 32 ; Independent, 1. The only
way m which the Republicans can pre
vent a Democratic majority in the Sen
ate after 1879 is by securing an increased
Senatorial representation from the North;
they can expect nothing from the
South.”
Narrative of a Survivor.
A letter from .Lieut. Cooper at Fort
Concho, Texas, who became lost recently
in the Staked Plains in the northwestern
region, and nearly perished from thirst,
recounts that when the horses gave out,
the men fought to drink their blood.
This only intensified theiF thirst, and the
soldiers suffered symptoms of blind stag
gers, from which the horses died. The
loss on the trip was four horses and one
citizen from thirst, twenty-three
horses and four mules perished. The re
ported fight with the Indians and mas
sacre of uoldiers on tire Staked Plains was
a canard.
Senterrhig Her Hnsband to be
Hanged.
Mrs. Morris, a woman Justice o-f the
Peace in Wyoming Territory,heard a case
of scamiaioßs character, in which her
husband was defendant. She sentenced
him to- be hanged by the neck until dead,
and was anxious to have the sentence
carried into- effect at once, until the at
torneys explained to her that she was
sitting simply as an examining court.
She then held him in bonds of $18,000,000
to await the action of the Grand Jury,
and said she would shoot the first man
that attempted to raise the serr'ties.
