It was supposed the balloting would not commence until Thursdaj*. Kerr’s vindication is complete. A unanimous vote of the committee, adopted by a rising vote of the House, declares him innocent and his accuser a perjurer. Blaine fainted from brain disease and excessive heat while in church last Sun day, and for a while fears of his death were entertained. But the physicians brought him round without much trouble, and at last ac counts he was improving rapidly. ETGov. Chamberlain, of South Carolina, has offered a reward of S2OO apiece for the lynchers of the six negroes who murdered Mr. and Mrs, Harmon. Our own opinion is, there will .be lively times when that pro gramme is attempted to be carried out. SIP A State election occurred in Oregon last week for a member of Congress and mem bers of the State Legislature. The reports show that the Democrats won a complete vic tory, and have elected a Congressman and have a majority of the Legislature on joint ballot. IdPTlie new silver bill passed the House Saturday without a division. It authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to issue ten millions of silver coin in exchange for an equal amount of legal’tender notes. The is sue of twenty millions of subsidiary silver coin for the redemption of fractional currency was also authorized. New York docs not seem to be afraid of Southern Democratic governments, and her citizens have just purchased* two hundred thousand of Georgia bonds at a premium.— How much will they give for the so-called ob. ligations of Republican South Carolina ?

UcPKcndrick's case was brought up in the Superior Court of Muscogee county the other day, and postponed in order to give the de. fondant time to procure the attendance of witnesses, by whom lie proposes to prove that Fanny Bush is not only several 3'ears older than represented, but that she has the repu tation of being a girl of exceedingly loose character. 5 c?’A Mrs. Smith, wife of Commander F.

We were both surprised and sincerely grati fied to find him very greatly improved, and apparently as well as he was before his last attack. He is able to sit up pretty much all day, and looks remarkably well. lie is in hopes that he will soon be able to resume his place in Congress and work once more for his country. There is every prospect that his health will now be entirely restored, and that lie has anew lease of life. Mr. Stephens seems to be as wonderful a man physically as mentally, Ins teeble frame resisting disease more effectually than many strong, robust men. There is wonderful vitality about the man. — Washington Gazette. The St. Louis Convention. Governor Smith and Senator E. P. llowcll have perfected arrangements with that popu lar general traveling agent, A. 11. Wrenn, Esq., by which delegates and visitors going to the National Democratic Convention will be charged but twenty-five dollars for the round trip, good for thirty day’s. Those de siring sleeping accommodations should make application in advance to insure berths. The indications are that there will be a very large attendance at St. Louis from all parts of the oountry. The special train will leave Atlanta at 4 :10 p. m. on Friday, June 23. and arrive at St. Louis at 9 o’clock the next evening, or in 28 hours and 50 minutes. Special inducements will be offered to those wishing to visit the Centennial from St. Lou is. and doubtless many will embrace the op portunity’ to do so. Mr. Wrenn himself ex pects to accompany the excursiouists from Atlanta, and will spare no pains to promote their comfort and enjoyment. —Macon Tel. # I ♦ Ax Honest Max.—Mr. Brown you said the defendant was honest and intelligent. M hat makes y’ou think so? Are you ac quainted with him ? No, sir, have never seen him. VN hy, then, do y*ou come to such a conclu sion ? Because he takes ten newspapers and pays for them ail in advance. \ erdict for defendant. DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. The State Executive Committee has ap pointed the 2d day of August as the time when, and Atlanta as the place where the Con vention shall meet for the nomination of a Democratic candidate for Governor and Pres idential Electors. We, in common with others, had hoped and expected that the Convention would be call ed a* an earlier day. We think it would have been best. The party should be thoroughly organized, and the sooner wc commence the more time wc will have ; and to concentrate forces, we must have leaders. It is true that the cause is a common one, and we all have the good of it at heart; still, experience teaches that, to marshal hosts, there must be a leader. We woidd have been pleased with an arrangement that would have given us a full Presidential ticket by the first or middle of July. Again: it would, in our judgment, have been wen for us to have disposed of local or State politics before August 2d. Wc believe the people arc prepared to-day to vote in primary meetings for Governor—and the main contest for that office, as we had occa sion to say a few weeks ago, will be by the people in their selection of delegates to the Convention ; because the party will vote en masse for the nominee, if he is fairly nomi nated by delegates who, by their ballots, re flect the wishes of their constituents. As soon as such a nomination is made, the absorbing question of who will be Governor will be virtually determined, and the party can then attend to the other duties of the hour, one of which is the election of a Presi dent—a question compared with which all other questions sink into insignificance, and it behooves us to marshal our forces in solid phalanx for the mighty contest. For these reasons we had hoped that the Executive Committee would have appointed an earlier day, but as they have in their wis dom said August the 2d, wc gracefully yield, and like the old gentleman whose oxen ran away with him and broke his leg, we feel that “bein’ it’s no better, we arc glad it’s no worse.” In the meantime, we do hope that Hie Dem ocratic candidates for Governor, and their friends, will recognize the fact that but one of them can get the nomination this time, and that while this is true, that the lucky one, who ever he may be, is their brother—belongs to the same family, the Democracy—and that by him the office will be honestly and faith fully administered. We want to see no strife, nor bickerings, nor bitter personal feelings exhibited by the candidates or their friends in this contest. The Committee have ap pointed the day. and doubtless from their standpoint they believed it was opportune. We do not believe that anybody’s chances were intended to be compromised; we be lieve that their action was, after mature de liberation, considered by them wise, and for the best interests of the party, the State and the whole country. Ample time is given for the holding of primary meetings in the differ ent counties. The people should avail them selves of the opportunity thus given them to speak their minds on the question. Let them all attend these meetings, and see to it that their wishes are expressed in the Convention of August 2d. Hon. B. H. Hill. Is it not about time, say’s the Atlanta Com monwealth, for this gentleman’s detractors to begin to open their batteries upon him for his silence? The prediction was, when he first took his scat in Congress, that he would speak ns and himself to death. It so hap pened that an evil conjuncture, most pur posely and wickedly precipitated, forced Mr. Hill to his feet soon after he made his ap pearance in the House. While we have an atom of self-respect left in our souls, our hearts will leap and the proud blood bound at the thought of how our champion did his work on that memorable trial of human patience and manly honor. The popular sense of jus tice and vindicated self-respect would not tolerate any disparagement or decrial of this magnificent display of grand ability. The whole South had an eternal property in the victory which Hill achieved for us, over a proud and cruel foe that was rioting in a spirit of oppression and outrage. But it was whispered around by the men who had made up their minds against being pleased, that their predictions were in process of speedy fulfillment, and that Mr. Hill would ruin us. But with the exception of a running debate on the pension bill, in which he showed that the “Hartford Convention* originated Seces sion, and that glorious letter written to a friend in Illinois, we have not had a word from Mr. Hill since he became a member of the House of Bcprescntatives. These croakers aud prophets of evil are beginning to fear their medicine has had too much ellect. I hey, themselves, are getting hungry for something more from Mr. Hill. We hope he will still put faith in his own sense and power to run his own machine. He was not scared out of his sense of duty when he spoke that immortal vindication of his peo ple, and we hope he will not be qjged to re spond to captious demands on the part of those who are as incapable of appreciating him in his noble displays of power as in his nobler moments of silence and self-repres sion. Master Willie Heard, son of John T. Heard, Esq., of the Bethesda neighborhood, is a prodigy m the way’ of small boys. He is in his 11th .year, and weighs barely 23 pounds. He is a student in Union Point Academy, stands well in his classes, and has made more than ordinary progress in his studies. lie is really a bright little fellow. What is still more remarkable, he has two little sisters, one six years old, and weighs about 18 pounds, the other four y’ears, and weighs about 13 pounds. They 7 are both very spright ly, and intellectual. A Bit of Experience. “Good-natured editing,” says some wise man, “spoils half the papers in the United States.” Yea, verily. “Will you please publish the poetry I send ?” says one ; “it is my first effort;” and some crude lines go in to encourage budding genius. “ Our church is in great peril,” says anoth er ; “will you publish our appeal,” and a long dolorous plea is inserted. “ father took your paper for twenty years,” writes another ; “ I think you ought to publish the resolutions passed by the ses sion of the Big Brake church when he died and in goes resolutions of no interest to a majority of the readers. “ I am particularly anxious that the views I present should go before the church this week.” Out go a covey of small pithy -con tributions to make room for three columns from a ponderous D. D. “ There is an immediate necessity for the exposure of one who is a bitter enem}* to the truth,” writes another, as he sends an attack upon an antagonist which will fill an entire page. “I am about to publish a book identifying the great image of brass, iron and clay, and I would be obliged to you to publish the ad vance sheets of the fifth chapter, which T herewith enclose to 3’ou.” “Why do you not publish in full R’sgreat speech in the general assembly ? It would increase your circulation largely.” “If }’ou publish the sermon I transmit to you I will take eight extra copies.” “The church must be aroused on the sub ject of foreign missions,” says a pastor, as he forwards the half of his last Sabbath’s ser vices. A good-natured editor surrenders to them at once, and they go away happy, ut terly unconscious that they have helped to spoil the paper.— Presbyterian. Let Justice Be Done. We have conversed with many of the lead ing citizens of our county, (says the Oyle thorpe Echo, of a late date,) and find them to be a unit in favor of reimbursing the Messrs. Howard for the expense they incurred in cap turing the men who stole their horses. They very properly say that were it not for the un tiring exertions used by these gentlemen and a few friends, and the consequent outlay of money, the thieves would doubtless have made good their escape, and in all probability every good horse in the county eventually carried off. In fact. Charles Kelty acknowledged to his captors that every first-class animal in the county was “spotted” by them, and they in tended so soon as they disposed of one lot to return for others. But their capture put a quietus to this programme. Then is it not justice that our people should, by private con tribution, help share the expense of forever removing their stock from the danger of “ap propriation” by such a desperate and deter mined band of outlaws? Wc feel assured that every man in the county who possesses an ounce of justice will heartily answer aye- SYPWe are not posted exactly as to the real aid our young friends, Messrs. Hugh and Dock Hancock, rendered in this matter, but are fully persuaded that the prompt and timely pursuit of the gang after they took Mr. J. IL Hancock’s buggy, had a good deal to do with the eventual capture of Ed. and Chas. Kell}*, and the disorganizing, for the time be ing, at least, of this band of outlaws, together with their well laid plans for future opera tions.—[Ed. Forest News. Gwinnett Sup. Court—Adjourned Term. An adjourned term of the Superior Court of Gwinnett County convened on Monday of last week, to try, what is known as the “How ell Will Case,” and which, according to the Gwinnett Herald, has been on the docket for some y'ears. The case, important as it ap pears to be, was, on account of absence of two witnesses for the defence, continued to another adjourned term to be held some time in the fall. The Herald in speaking of mat ters connected with the Court, has this to say concerning the men charged with the mnrder of the two old negroes,—an account of which was given in these columns some time since : Some surprise was manifested that no action was taken by 7 the jury in reference to the parties in jail, but it was ascertained that Cadle, the main witness, in the case against Scott and Wooten, had made another revela tion, in which he stated that his testimony before the committing court, which we pub lished at the time, was false, and that he knew’ nothing about the killing of the two '-old ne groes. This change in his story 7 surprised everybody, as he had, only 7 that morning, told a member of the Grand Jury that hTs story was true. In view of this sudden change of tactics on the part of Cadle, no action was taken by the Grand Jury. After the adjournment of court, Scott and Wooten were brought before Judge Rice on a writ of habeas corpus, and the affidavit of Cadle was presented, in which he swore that his former testimony was false. Under this state of facts, the Judge admitted both Scott and Wooten to bail. They gave the bond promptly and were discharged from custody. Sympathy for Newspapers. The Augusta Chronicle <$- Sentinel, puts the matter thus forcibly on this subject. We commend the sentiment to the careful con sideration of our friends : There is but one way for the people to show their sympathy* for a newspaper, and that is by sustaining it—by subscribing for and advertising in it. This is practical sympathy, and any other kind is not worth having. When a man says he sympathizes witii a paper ask how much he sympathizes. Does lie sympathize to the amount of a cash subscription or an advertisement, or to the extent of assisting to increase its circulation or its advertising patronage ? 53POn the fourth pags of*this issue will be found an interesting account of a little game of ••hly-Loo.’ The sequel to.this game lias no doubt, been arrived at ere this, and will, if possible, be given to our readers this week. G-eorgia Clippings. o Camming celebrates tne fourth of July. Colonel 11. P. Bell is the orator. A horse which was foaled in Augusta, five years ago. never has had any mane or tail. It is a singular looking creature. It is said that Markham, of Atlanta, will be the Radical candidate for Governor, while old man Norcross will be a candidate for Congress. The grand jury of Washington county have indicated Jacob Smith, colored, and his son Albert, for cruelly beating an ox which they were working. The resignation of Rev. C. A. Kendrick as pastor of the Columbus Baptist church has been accepted. His church trial has been postponed. Hartwell has two strange fowls. They are a mixture of wild turkey and guinea fowl, the color of a partridge, about the size of a buzzard, very restless and continually mak ing a strange noise. It is not a well-known fact and yet it is true that the colored temperance lodges of Atlanta have over nine hundred members. The negro templars are very much disposed to make a fight for prohibition in the city this Fall. James Fctncr, an engineer on the Char lotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, who drove his train into a passenger train last Fall, and killed a child and injured others, has been acquitted at the Edgefield (S. C.) Court, the grand jury returning no bill. Mr. E. J. Harrison who lives near Mun nerlyn, informed a gentleman that a few days since three of his cows came home, each with a black snake wrapped around one of their hind legs, and that the snakes were busily engaged in filching the lacteal fluid from the cows. Judge Henderson, of Newton county, in the case of J. S. Guffin vs. Davidson & Rich ards, held the defendants liable for one hun dred dollars damages on account that plain tiff bought of defendants spurious or pois onous guano, which damaged his crop in 1875 to that amount. — Const. A Newton county man was sued on a li quor bill a few days ago. lie pleaded that excessive indulgence in benzine had dethron ed his reason and he was not aware of pur chasing the liquor. The Court decided that he was not competent to make a contract at the time stated, and was, therefore, not re sponsible. Mr. Francis Orr, of Washington county, who is suffering from dropsy, has had one hundred and thirteen gallons of water taken from him in eight months. Someone ought to inform Mr. Orr that a diet of Indian Spring water and lemons will cure him in two months—and we don’t charge anything for the information.— Sav. Neivs. Mr, A. J. Ormc has cotton on his planta tion in Baker county three feet high, each stalk having ten limbs from twenty to twen ty-three inches long. Cotton blooms were gathered on June 3d—the earliest yet. Ripe canteloups were eaten on his place recently, lie informs us a neighbor of his, Randolph Whitehead, had roasting ears, corn of the Dent variety, on the 3d of June. A few days ago, Messrs’. Dick and Ab Ivervin, of Columbia Cos., were standing in the back yard of the latter when quite a show er of flesh fell upon and around them. It, at first, seemed as a miracle to them, as they had often heard of flesh “raining” from above. They by accident cast up their eyes and dis covered several buzzards about 100 feet above them flying about and this explained to them the mystery and one too which has so often occTirred and been unexplained. We witnessed, the other morning, a per formance upon the piano by little Anne Mc- Cormick. aged five years, daughter of Mr. I). G. and Mrs. Emma McCormick. Little Anne has no knowledge whatever of figures or let ters, but plays altogether from intuition—in other words, without instruction. She was helped up to the piano, and with her tiny fin gers she touched the keys as nimbly and per fectly as if they had been moved by an ex perienced performer. —llaiokinsmlie Dis. Mr. Davis S. Kellcm, one of our most be loved and trustworthy citizens, who died on last Friday, and who will be buried to-day by the Knight Templars, is reported to have made a most wonderful revelation concerning his cousin's untimely death, during his recent sickness. Our informant says that he, in company with several other friends, were sit ting at the bedside of the sick man, when he suddenly roused himself from an insensible state and in a very excited manner admon ished some invisible persons to be quick or the mules would kick his cousin Tobe to death, and then in despair he fell back on the bed saying, “It is too late, they have killed him.” Ilis friends at the time did not know what to make of his strange behavior, but two days later they received news from Ilawkinsville stating that his cousin, Air. Tobe Kellem, had been kicked to death by his mules at about the time that he had spo ken of the matter here in Atlanta. Dr. Arnos Fox, Mr. Henry Banks and other reliable gentlemen of that city were present at the time and testify to the authenticity of the occurrence. —Sunday Telegram. Kerosene a Cure for Snake Bites. Ihe Aberdeen (Miss.) Examiner says that kerosene oil is an effective antidote for the bite of a snake, when applied externally. It says the little child of C. M. Jones was bit ten by a high-land moccasin and perfect re lief and cure was obtained by application of this oil. It further says that a valuable dog was bitten by a ‘cotton-mouth,’ and was in a dying condition when the first external appli cation of the oil was made and obtained in stant relief and was up and running about in two or three hours.
