attend, who will have a constitution
al voice in the House of Bishops. It
will be an important era in that
church, as questions of the most deli
cate character will have to be settled
between the adherents of the High
Church and* Low Church pastors.
Too much or too little ritualism is
the source of the trouble.
The Prussian authorities in Schles
wig have hit upon anew and ingeni
ous mode of persecution against the
Danish papers advocating the nation
ality and the rights of the Danish
population of the Duchy. They have
issued official lists changing all the
Danish names of the towns, villages,
farms, rivers, forests, &c., into Ger
man-sounding words without any
meaning, and now they endeavor to
compel the papers to use only these
distorted names. This measure has
deeply irritated the population, and
is likely to have just the opposite ef
fect of what was intended.
While the bacon and other stores
bought by the Government for the use
of the sufferers by Mississippi floods
are being distributed for election
eering purposes where no flood has
taken place .since the deluge, starva
tion is threatening the unfortunates
whose crops were swept away last
spring. A letter from Bayou Ford
oche, near Morganza, La., to a lady
in New Orleans, begs her, “for God’s
sake to send rations enough to keep
us alive.” The people are picking
moss in order to sustain themselves,
and even this slender stay is disap
pearing.
Prince Frederick William, oldest
son of the Crown Prince of Prussia,
has been placed in the second class of
gymnase at Cassel. The Crown
Prince and Princess went themselves
to announce the entrance of their son
to the teacher of his class, Dr. lleuss
ner. This was done in the most sim
ple and easy manner possible, no
ceremony being observed, at the re
quest of the Prince’s parents, who
likewise desire to have him addressed
with “You,” as the other boys, the
title “Highness,” being dropped, of
course. The Crown Prince exhorted
his son to do all in his power to give
satisfaction to his teachers, and ac
quire all the knowledge he could.
Anew law in reference to truant
children is about to go into effect in
New York city. It is designed to
clear the streets of the young va
grants who, grow ing up without care,
furnish many recruits to the crimi
nal classes. The law gives the board
of education authority over all child
ren between the ages of eight and
fourteen years who are found wan
dering about streets and public pla
ces during school iiours, having no
lawful occupation or business, and
growing up in ignorance. These
children the board may order to be
taught in the schools like ordinary
pupils, or they may be put in con
finement and educated there. The
agency of the police force is availed
of for the enforcement of this new
Jaw. lM
A Mobile man, on returning home
recently, was surprised to receive the
congratulations of his family on his
happy escape from drowning. He
thought somebody had been playing
a joke on them, and laughed hearti
ly until he found that they had giv

ored man w ho brouglit the news, and
who said he w T as sent for some dry
clothes.
The Democratic Convention for the
Seventh Congressional District met
according to appointment at the City
of Rome on Monday, the 19th inst.,
in order to nominate a candidate to
fill the vacancy occasioned by the
resignation of Col. Trammell. A
large and deeply interested crowd of
spectators attended the session of the
Convention held at the City Hall,and
but one sentiment prevailed, so far
as we were able to learn that the ses
sion might not only prove harmoni
ous, but result in placing before the
people of the District such a candi
date as would be acceptable not only
to the party, but who would be un
objectionable to any and every voter
of the old Seventh. Such a man was
found in the person of the Hon. "Wm.
H. Dabney, of Rome, aud upon the
bare mention of his name before the
Convention, it was easy to perceive
that not only that body, but the peo
ple at large, felt that in him we had
the man who would not only fill the
measure of public expectation, and
the earnest desire of the Convention
to harmonize the distracted elements
of the parly in this district, but who
would if nominated, letrieve the dis
asters of an almost fatal campaign,
and snatching victory from the very
jaws of defeat,would end this excited
conlest in the triumph of the party.
Before going into the Convention,
the delegates held an informal meet
ing in the spirit of harmony and true
devotion to the best interests of the
party and the State. All personal
prejudices, in favor of this or that
man were laid aside, and but one de
sire and object prevailed, and that
was, upon solid information obtained
from the gentlemen assembled from
the various counties of the District
as to what was best to be done in the
selection of a candidate, then and
there with one heart and one mind,
sacrificing every other consideration,
to do that thing, and nothing else,
after a patient investigation, and full
interchange of opinion. There was
little or no difficulty in arriving at a
conclusion, and that conclusion is al
ready known to the publie in the
nomination of Col. Dabney, and
whose name we to-day place at our
mast-head with pride and pleasure.
No names were proposed to the
Convention, though several were
spoken of most prominently. The
delegates went into the Convention
fully informed upon the interests at
issue. The Convention was organized,
a motion was made to proceed to the
nomination of a candidate by the
body at once, without the intimation
of any formalities, which being car
ried unanimously, Col. Scott of
Rome, proposed that the Hon. Wm.
H. Dabney be nominated by accla
mation, which was accepted at once
by one unanimous aye, aye, aye, and
followed with a shout from the dele
gates and the gratified spectators,
which echoing through the Hall,
shook it from its foundation to its
very dome. Gratified was every man
in that large assemblage, and the
shout of enthusiasm which greeted
the nomination of Col. Dabney,every
man felt it was but the precursor of
that other cry, victory, which on the
4th of November shall echo from the
mountains and valleys of the old
7th. We say then, to the Democratic
party,|be of good cheer, faint not, fail
not in the good work now before you,
though short the conflict, the result
will be favorable,stand by your col
umns, advance your standard, gather
with determined zeal around your
admirable and able leader, and in
three weeks from to-day, the wild
storm which has swept over us, will
have passed away, leaving the old
flag triumphant in the popular breeze
and “all the clouds which lowered
o’er our house, in the deep bosom of
the ocean buried.”
Col.Dabney is a man against whom
nothing can be said; a gentleman in
manners, life and association, a re
nowned lawyer, the ablest in North
Georgia by the consent of the breth
ren of the legal fraternity; a Demo
crat of unwavering fidelity, loved
and respected by all who know him,
above rep&ach and a sinseere Chris
tian—at present an elder in the Pres
byterian church. Honored through
out the State, and honored by the
people among whom he has lived so
long. No office-seeker, but always
shrinking* from the public gaze un
allured by the honors of otfiee, or
ambition of personal aggrandizement.
He has been called by the unanimous
and enthusiastic acclaim of his fellow
citizens to the post of danger in this
late hour of the party’s extremity,
and heartily, and cheerily do wo en
dorse his acceptance of the nomina
tion, with the confident belief that
the ides of November will hail him
member elect to the Congress of the
United States from the Seventh Con
gressional District. “Once more”
then, dear friends, “once more to the
breach,” and all is well.
GEN. YOUNG.
Gen. Young returned from his late
visit to Washington City on Satur
day night last, where he had been
called as one of a Committee on In
spection of Public Works. Had be al
lowed his name to go before the Con
vention as a candidate for Congress,
we believe that he could have re
ceived the nomination at Rome, but
this, he positively and peremptorily
refused to do, solely 7 on party grounds,
with a view to its harmonious ac
tion. Ambitious of party 7 favor,
doubtless he may be, but Gen. Young
thinks more of the unity and success
of the party than of any 7 preferment,
and, therefore, on his own motion,
and contrary to the wishes of many
of his warm personal friends, per
emptorily insisted that he should
not go before the Convention. We
are authorized to say that he will
take instant and vigorous action in
behalf of Col. Dabney, and that all
his energies will be unsparingly de
voted to the seeurement of his elec
tion. All honor to our gallant county
man.
Admiral Polo de Barnabe has
written to the Spanish paper publish
ed in New York that the story 7 put
j in circulation by the Abbe McMas
| ter, concerning the session of Porto
: Rico to Germany, is utterly false.
I The good Abbe said, when he brought
j out the story-, that Admiral Polo
I would not deny the authority of the
dispatches on which it was passed.
It must be consoling for him to hear
the Admiral say now that the dis
patches have no existence, and that
the statements predicated on them
are “absurd and contemptible cal
umnies.”
THE PHANTOM SPOON.
Butler made a speech in Essex,
Massachusetts, on the evening of the
10th, to an audience of some four
hundred persons. As usual, he was
eloquent on the negro, the unrecon-.
strueted rebels, the Southern out
rages and specie question. He wanted
the Louisiana cut-throats dealt with
rigorously, the rioters cut off in the
flower of their rascality. And then
lie rose upon a wing of finance, and
the Boston Herald's report of the
event says:
At this point, and while the Gen
eral was holding to all men to pay
their honest debts, a spoon was low
ered by means of a string through
the scuttle of the roof and hung like
a spectre in mid-air. A giggle was
heard from the audience, and it soon
assumed the proportions of a roar.
The General tried to continue, but
was several times interrupted. He
failed at first to observe the objection
able article of table use. Gen. But
ler finally placed his eye upon it,and
gazed from right to left without a
word to say. He again attempted to
proceed, but only again to be inter
rupted. Finally, be shook his hand
kerchief and straightened himself
and remarked: “Well, I should
think that is about as good an argu
ment as I can be opposed to.” The
spoon wiggled in the air, and the
General continued.
In a conversation which took place
recently between a clergyman of the
established church and a member of
his congregation at Clifton, England,
the layman remarked that he did not
believe either in the personality of
the devil or in eternal punishment.
Upon this the clergyman said that
unless the gentleman sent him a let
ter retracting these opinions, he
would refuse him the Sacrament of
the Lord’s Supper. The layman did
not send the retraction, and on the
occasion of his next attendance at the
Holy Communion the clergyman
passed him over. Taking the pre
caution to comply with the rubric
and give beforehand notice of his in
tention to communicate, the layman
again attended at the Holy Commun
ion, and was a second time passed
over. Thereupon he wrote to the
Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol,who
replied that the incumbent was not
justified under the circumstances in
refusing the sacrament. The layman
intends to attend once more the Sac
rament at the church In question,and
if again refused the Sacrament, after
the bishop’s intimation, he will at
once take proceedings against the
clergyman in the proper court.
The great controversy between
Chilli and Bolivia has been happily
adjusted by a pro-tocol signed in
Sucre on the Gth of August last,
and as the Government an abso
lute majority in the respective
National Assemblies of those
countries, there is but little fear that
the protocol will not be ratified.
Bolivia remains mistress of the dis
puted territory between the 23d and
25th parallels, as well on the coast as
inland. Thus the rich mines of Cara
coles, which yield the Government
upward of $2,000,000 yearly only in
export duty, continue in the hands
of Bolivia, which is a great satisfac
tion to the bondholders. Chilli is to
get paid an indemnity for giving up
her claim, the sum to be fixed by ar
bitration. Some of the Caracole
miners who sent out prospectors to
the mining grounds of Injin, in the
Argentine Confederation,had return
ed with magnificent specimens of sil
ore and silver lead.
DEATH OF GOD. JAMES GARDNER.
Col. James Gardner, for many
years editor and proprietor of the Au
gusta Constitutionalist , died recently
at his residence, near Macon, of in
flammation of the bowels, after an
illness of about four weeks.
Col. Gardner was born in this city
in the early part of the year 1813, and
was consequently in the sixty-second
y-ear of his age at the time of his
death. He studied law with Judge
Win. T. Gould, and was early in life
admitted to the bar. In 1840 he was
elected Solicitor-General of the Judi
cial Circuit in which Richmond coun
ty was embraced. On the 12th of
June, 1845, Col. Gardner purchased
the Constitutionalist from Mr. P. C.
Gieu, and assumed control as editor.
This position he tilled uninterrupted
ly 7 for twenty years, during which
period lie was the acknowledged
leading Democratic editor in Geor
gia. He wielded a powerful influ
ence in the politics of the State, and
when the Democratic Gubernatorial
Nominating Convention assembled
in 1857 he was by 7 far the most prom
inent man in the State for the posi
tion. His name was put forward in
the Convention and baliotted for dur
ing a considerable length of time.
He received a majority 7 on every bal
lot, but the two-thirds rule having
been adopted by the Convention, it
became apparent that lie could not
be nominated, and Joseph E. Brown
was, therefore, selected as a com
promise candidate.
During the war Col. Gardner was
an ardent defender of Southern
rights. Soon after its close he went to
New York and entered into business
with Mr. Hoyt, under the firm name
of Hoyt & Gardner. In 1871 the co
partnership was dissolved, and Col-
Gardner again assumed control of
the Constitutionalist, then owned
by Stockton & Cos., as its edi
tor. He continued in this position
until the suspension of the Constitu
tionalist, in 1873. In June, 1871, he
resumed the practice of law, and en
tered into copartnership with Judge
Hook, which was dissolved previous
to the suspension of the Constitution
alist. After the suspension Col. Gard
ner devoted himself to planting.
Nearly a month since he was taken
sick, and from that time was confined
to his residence. For several days
before his death he appeared to be
conscious that his end was drawing
near, and faced the conviction with
the fortitude which he possessed in
an eminent degree.
Col. Gardner was a brilliant writer,
and, when in the full vigor of his in
tellectual power, was known North
and South as one of the ablest editors
of the day. He possessed the confi
dence and esteem of a host of friends,
and goes down to his grave regretted
by the entire community.
The members of the Richmond
bar are requested to meet at the of
fice of M. P. Foster, Esq., this morn
ing, at half-past nine, to make ar
rangement for attending the funeral

The Glasgow Herald relates the
adventures of a young madcap girl
from the Highlands, who, wishing to
do something romantic in the way
of female enterprise, left a comfort
able home, dressed in male attire,
and obtained a situation as assistant
to the cook in a steamer. Her dis
guise was seen through after a few
(lays, and she was put under the care
of the stewardess, and consequently
sent home. She admitted that she
had never enjoyed anything like a
sound sleep on board ship. She al
ways “tumedin” with her clothes on,
and in these circumstances the most
heroic spirit will tire of trousers.
THE WESTERN GRAIN CROPS.
An intelligent gentleman who has
just returned from a tour through six
of the Western States, made during
the months of August and Septem
ber, gives an opinion regarding the
crops which may be summed up as
follows: In Ohio, a pretty good
wheat and about half the usual corn
crop, the same for potatoes and light
fruit crop. Indiana is in much the
same condition, there being also, as
in Ohio, much complaint of drought
and revages by insects. In all, the
wheat crop was passably good. The
corn crop light and potatoes passably
good.
In Illinois the corn crop is light
and potatoes scarce. The pasturage
was good throughout the season,and
consequently the hog and cattle crop
is good. In*lowa and Missouri crops
of all kinds are only medium, and
drought, chinch and potato bugs
caused considerable destruction in
both these States. The report from
Kansas declares the wheat crop in
Neosha region nearly an average
yield of twenty bushels to the acre.
Corn has suffered the most, and sells
for fifty-five cents per bushel on the
streets. Farmers are turning their
attention to cultivating castor beans,
flax and other insect proof products.
A call has been issued by the Epis
copal Diocese of lowa for a special
Convention, to be heldjon December
9, 1874, to elect a bishop. Twenty
two clerical and twenty-nine lay
votes will be required for a choice.
Among those spoken of, are the Rev.
Dr. W. H. Bassio, Professor of eccle
siastical history in Griswold College,
Davenport; Rev. Dr. De Koven of
Racine, Wisconsin ; Rev. Dr. Potter
of Grace Church, New York; and
the Rev. Messrs. Sullivan of Chicago,
and Mcllwaine of Keokuk.
When Jefferson Davis was confin
ed in Fortress Monroe, says a New
York paper, one D. E. Moore,- an
lowa soldier, who was one of the
guard, stole from him a photograph
ic album containing family photo
graphs and "those of his staff and dis
tinguished Confederates. Moore re
cently mailed a letter from Water
loo, lowa, to some person at Erie,
Pa., offering the album for sale, fix
ing the price at $ 45. The Erie man
sent the letter to Jefferson Davis.
The latter wrote to ex-Senator George
W. Jones, of lowa, at Dubuque,
sending him the letter and asking
him to get the album. Moore was
found and ihe album seized under a
writ of repievin.
A French paper gives a detailed
account of the manufacture of false
eyes in Paris, from which the curious
fact appears that the average sale per
week for eyes intended for the hu
man head amounts to four hundred.
One of the leading dealers in this ar
ticle carries on the business in a sa
loon of great magnificence. His ser
vant lias but one eye, and the effect
of any of the eyes wanted by custom
ers is conveniently tried in his ser
vant’s head, so that the customers
can judge very readily as to the ap
pearance it will produce in his own
head. The charge is about 10 dol
lars per eye. For the poor there are
second-hand visual organs, which
have been worn for a time and ex
changed for new ones. They are
sold at reduced prices, and large
quantities are sent off to India and
the Sandwich Islands.
On Sunday, Sept. 27, a pastoral
from Cardinal Cullen was read in all
the Dublin Roman Catholic chapels,
in which he denounces the introduc
tion by 7 the Italian opera company
into Balfe’s opera of “II Talismano”
of a scene which he declares to be a
shameful burlesque of Roman Catho
lic religious ceremonials, with an al
tar, censers,and a procession in which
nuns are represented by ballet girls,
and the choir is formed of actors,
whose chanting his Eminence criti
cised as “discordant and disgusting.”
The Cardinal forbids the Roman
Catholics of Dublin to visit the the
atre in which the practices of their
faith are made the subject of immod
est and profane imitations. The ob
jectional scene referred to has since
been omitted from the performance
of the opera.
The New York World states that
the famous and fussy carpet-bagger
and Federal Judge, Richard Busteed,
has fled from Alabama, and has set
tled himself down in an office in that
city 7. On the 9th inst. he sent to
Washington his resignation of the
United States Circuit Judgship [of
Alabama. Having consistently out
raged the honest people of the State,
and having recently quam-lled with
and denounced bis Radical associates,
there was nothing left for him in Ala
bama. He has therefore taken his
departure, and upon reaching a safe
distance from the scene of his judi
cial exploits and political chagrin,
resigns his soiled ermine, and is now
in New York ready to furnish the
Republicans as many stories of South
ern outrages as they may want. It
has taken seven years or more to get
this corrupt Judge out of office.
A correspondent of the Montgom
ery (Ala.,) Advertiser, writing from
Dallas, Texas, says that upon enter
ing the Exchange Hotel, in that
place, he saw a lady 7 fingering a piano
in really artistic style, who, upon his
asking for a lady boarder, replied po
litely: “Walk in, sir, I am not ac
quainted with the ladies of the ho
tel,’’and continued her difficult music.
This lady was Mrs. Reid, the widow
of the chief of the gang of Western
stage robbers. Her husband was
killed recently by another of the
gang for the SII,OOO reward offered
for Reid, dead or alive, by the Texas
authorities. Mrs. Reid (says the cor
respondent),upon receiving the news,
drew a six shooter and swore to take
the life of the assassin. The writer
adds : “She is said to be highly edu
cated; lives about nine miles from
Dallas, and frequently visits the city,
generally travelling as heavily arm
ed as the members of the gang of
which her husband was chief.”
On the night of September 26, a
soldier rushed half dressed from his
quarters in the artillery barracks in
Woolwich, England, armed with a
long calvary sword, and started to
run a muck through the crowded
thoroughfares. A military policeman
was standing at the north arch of the
barracks, and the soldier in passing
him flourished his sword and made a
cut, which would probably have be
headed him if he had not seen his
danger and avoided it by stooping.
The policeman, as soon as he recov
ered himself, went in pursuit of his
assailant, who continued his career
along Artillery place, cutting and
thrusting as he ran, and having over
taken him, seized him round the
arms, and held him until the sword
was taken from him. He was still
very violent, and kicked several peo
ple before he could be secured in the
guard room, where he was seen by a
surgeon and pronounced insane.

B AO BLOOD!
“A corrupt tree,” saith the Inspired Volume,
‘‘bringeth forth not good lruit,” nor can cor
rupt blood impart health, beauty and good
flesh, or spirits. “The Blood is the Life,” and
health can only be enioved in its full perfec
tion where the blood is kept in a pure and un
corrupted state, hence the necessity of pur*
blood, to give health, beauty, buoyant spirits,
long life and happiness.
AN IMPURE CONDITION OF THE BLOOD,
manifests itself in different forms of disease,
such as Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald-Head, Ring
worm, Pimples. Blotches, Spots. Eruptions,
Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles. Sore Eyes, Rough
Skin, Scurf. Scrofulous Sores and Swellings,
Fever Sores, White Swellings, Tumors, Old
Sores or Swellings. Syphilitic Affections of the
Skin, Throat and Bones, Ulcers of the Liver,
Stomach, Kidneys, Lungs and Uterus.
In this condition of things something is need
ed at once to cleanse the blood, and neu
tralize the insidious poison that
BURNS LIKE A TERRIBLE FIRE,
as it courses through the veins, sowing seeds
of death with every pulsation.
Dr. Pemberton’s Compound Extract of Stil
lingia, (or Queen’s Delight) will potiUtxly ef
fect this desideratum, expelling every trace of
disease from the blood and system, ami leav
ing the skin
SOFT, FAIR aND BEAUTIFUL.
For all diseases of the BLOOD, LIVER and
KIDNEYS, this Grtnt YtgfUihle AlUralirr is
without a rival. It will cure any CHRONIC
or LONG STANDING DISEASE, whose real or
direct canse is BAD BLOOD. RHEUMA
TISM. PAINS IN LIMBS or BOXES, CONSTI
TUTIONS BROKEN DOWN by Mercnrial or
other poisons, are all cured by it. For SYPHI
LIS, or SYPHILITIC TAINT, there is nothing
equal to it. A trial trill pro re it It is a most
useful Spring and Fall Purifier of the Blood,
Its salety ami innocence have been fully
tested, so that it may be administered to the
most tender infant.
