THE LATEST NEWS.
We arc sorry to hear, through our Rome ex
changes, of the destruction, by Are, of the splen
did cotton factory at Trion. in Chattooga coun
ty, Ga., twenty-five miles from Rome and five
miles from Suinmerville, on the Chattooga riv
er. It was evidently the work of an incendi
ary.

named place, a few days ago”.
Bard has hopes of being retained in his office
at Atlanta. The people of that city are tired
ot constant useless changes being made in the
public offices there, and as they must put up
with a Grantite, they prefer the one they have
become accustomed to—and all are ready to ad
mit that Samuel has faithfully and honestly
performed the duties of postmaster.
A large body of Cheyenne warriors crossed

Our neighbor Neal, of the Marietta Journal,
has taken a wife unto himself and he has our
most sincere congratulations. It was our opin

ample set him by his partner.
Th? great sponge Grant was forced to pay

“Cowardly” Senatorial Ex
cursionists.—The President, in con
versation on Friday, is represented
as having expressed himself emphati
cally uponjthe action of the Senatorial
excursionists to Mexico. He is re
ported to have characterized their
conduct as an exhibition of cowardice
and a surrender to the unfavorable
criticisms of the press.
Detection. —The following sim
ple rule is given to detect counterfeit
fifty cent notes:
On the counterfeit the lock of hair
in the corner of Dexter’s forehead
touches the hair at each end, while in
the genuine it is a “C”-shaped lock,
and touches only at the lower end.
The counterfeit should be more par
ticular with Dexter’s peculiarities.
up to the Ist of this month 5,838,-
Gl4 pounds of guano less passed
through Savannah this year, than
to the same time last year; and by
the Ist of May, it is said the difference
will be still greater. The figures
for Augusta and Charleston show
the same rate of decrease. These
facts were elicited by our cotempory
of the Savannah Advertiser , who
had heard so much of the increased
quantities of guano being bought,
he was led to mako enquiry—this
is the result.
A wealthy merchant of Fairport,
in the State of New York, had so
strong a presentment that he could
meet his death through suffocation,
that he refused to introduce gas into
a fine house which he had just fin
nished. Then he went to Syracuse
to buy furniture, and while at a ho
tel blew out his gas and. went to bed.
In the morning he was fonnd dead;
but there to be as much care-
as coincidence in the way he
d’ed.
The ores of the newly discovered
silver mines near Newburport, Mass.,
are said to be increasing in value as
the shafts descend, late assays yield
ing as high as SO,OOO to the ton. Many
mines have been found in New Eng
land at various times since the land
ing of the Pilgrims, and in various
places from Connecticut river to the
Penobscot, but none have ever proved
worth working heretofore. It really
looks, however, as though there
might be millions in it this time.
Cincinnati has heretofore been
called “Porkopolis,” from the fact
that the largest number of hogs have
been slaughtered and packed in that
city. Chicago has deprived her of
the name, as the last named city
more than doubles the former in the
number and value of hogs killed.
Chicago last year killed 1,690,548 hogs,
while Cincinnati killed 560,164. The
State of Illinois has been shown to be
the largest pork producing state in
the Union, her trade amounts to 562,-
509,889 pounds gross weight, worth
$37,696,304. These figures more than
double those of the productions of
Qilio.
Up to this writing, there had been
380 ineffectual ballotings in Gaines
ville by the Convention, for the nomi
nation of a candidate to represent
the 9th District in Congress, to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of
Garnett McMillan. It is not believed
that either Hill.or Bell will be nomi
nated—neither body of friends yield
ing an inch to the other. The sugges
tion to nominate an outsider has no
seconds. The only thing to do now
is to let the men go before the people
—but Bell’s friends say he will not
run unless nominated. We believe
Ben Hill is the strongest man before
the people, any-way. The delegates
in the convention certainly repre
sent the largest number of voters.
We are in favor of old Ben ourselves,
and hope he will make the race. A
rumor was received last week that in
view of the state of affairs in the Con
vention, he had made a list of ap
poinmentsaml would take the stump.
We see a report going through the
papers to the effect thatJno. A. Lo
gan, of Illinois, was never in favor
of the Confederacy, and he proves it
by a letter from a Confederate Colo
nel. Now we are disposed to doubt
the evidence of Col. Brooks, for the
reason, that but a few years after the
war, we were in the town of Marion,
in Williamson county, 111., and
whilst there became acquainted with
several parties, among them the fath
er-in-law of John A. Logan, and we
are pretty well satisfied that a regi
ment had been raised in that section
of country under the auspices of said
Logan, for the service of the Confed
erate army. Although not present
at the time, we heard parties say who
did attend, that Logan denied at
Carbondale, that he even aided the
Confederate cause, and dared any one
rise in the audience to which he was
speaking, and confront him with the
charge, and that a lady did rise and
tell him he knew he was stating a
falsehood, that she knew he had of
fered his services, for a consideration,
to the South. We remember very
well that it was the universal impres
sion at that time, that had Logan’s
price been paid he would have been
a Confederate instead of a Federal
Colonel.
We will not say positively, that
Mr. Cunningham, the father-in-law
of Logan, told us that his (L.’s) sym
pathies were originally with the
South, but we remember very dis
tinctly that his mother-in-law and
one Capt. Cover did tell us so. More
over if we remember aright, there
was something told us of a regiment
gotten up ostensibly for the Feder
al army, of which said Logan was a
member, but it was to go to the Con
federate army, and we think that
regiment was gotten up under the
auspices of John A. Logan. We are
very certain that we received the im
pression while there, that Logan was
regarded as a man who would not
stop short of anything to make mon
ey.
The Mail Contract Frauds.—
The Washington Star is considered
good authority for the statement in
connection with the investigation of
the Post Office frauds that certain
parties, at present far above suspicion
in the public mind, are being gradu
ally but surely inmeshed in the toils,
and in all probability,will soon becall
ed on to step down from positions
which they have used for their own
personal aggrandizement and profit
for years past. On account of the cu
pidity of these unworthy public ser
vants, the advertising for proposals,
the opening of bids, award of contracts
have been amefe mockery and fraud.
Honest men who went to Washing
ton from distant States to bid for con
tracts, in spite of their best endeav
ors, found themselves continually
circumvented by the machinations
of thieves and plunderers; and so far
was this-system of fraud carried that
tractors abandoned the field
in disgust, finding themselves unable
to cope with their more unscrupulous
competitors. Governor Jewell has
rendered the government an impor
tant service in uncovering this un
clean nest.
We learn from our neighbor, the
Marietta Journal, that a young fool,
in Cherokee county, named Croft, un
dertook to play a sleight-of-hand trick
for the amusement of a crowd, last
Saturday, a week ago. It seems that
he has been possessed with the idea
that farming is a very hard way to
make money, and he has been prac
ticing quite a number of tricks—
some of them being very cleverly
done—with a view of ultimately giv
ing exhibitions. One of his tricks
was to hide a piece of steel, two
inches long, up his nose, or in other
words, imitate the man who swallow
ed the sword. He got the bright
piece of steel up his nose, and threw
his head back, when to his horror
the steel passed beyond his reach,
and he was unable to bring it back.
He applied to Dr. Dean for assistance
and other physicians attended him.
.They probed for the teel but could
not reach it, and it is supposed it has
passed into his stomach. He is repre
sented as being, at times, perfectly
crazy, and is with difficulty held in
bed. Whether he is crazy from the
reflection that his foolishness has
been the means of causing his death
or whetheir the presence of the steel
is operating upon his insides is not
known. It is belived he cannot live.

nOW VEGETABLES SHOULD BE
SHIPPED.
We have frequently heard com
plaints from owners of truck gardens
in South Georgia and Florida to the
effect tnat shipments of vegetables
rarely realize their value in New r
York. A. C. Worth & Cos., that city,
say that this falure to realize is one
of the results-of improper packing
at the point of shipment. They then
give some direction which may be of
interest to vegetable growers in this
section. Potatoes sell best in barrels,
in all cases, and small or medium
sized packages are as salable as large
ones. The potatoes, either sweet or
Irish, should be thoroughly dry and
clean when put up, and the barrel
should at least be cut in four places,
to secure proper ventilation. Cu
cumbers, squashes, tomatoes, peas,
beans, onions, beets, etc., should be
packed, if possible, in crates holding
about a bushel each, and tomato&s
should he wrapped in brown paper
when procurable, and the crates in
which they are packed should have
a parlition in the middle, as they are
liabletomash when handled roughly.
All vegetables keep best clean, dry
and cool when packed. Each package
should have the initial of the ship
per ; and also that of the consignee,
marked upon it as plainly as pos
sible. Shippers should bear in mind
that in New York, as in other mar
kets, appearances are worth a good
deal, and to insure good prices for
shipments, special attention should
he paid to having the packages, as
well as the contents, as neat and clean
as possible.
We learn through an extract from
the Macon Telegraph , that Col. John
R. Jones, one of the best and wealth
iest citizens in Terrell county, residing
about seven miles from Dawson, was
assasisnated and killed on Tuesday
night by some unknown party. He
was sitting in his residence reading
w’ith his book, at an open window.
The assassin approached and fired,
the ball hitting him in the back of
the head and passed out through his
mouth, producing instant death. A
negro, with whom Col. Jones had
some difficulty last summer, is the on
ly party suspected of having commit
ted the atrocious deed. Mrs. Jones
w r as in Daw’son at the time, on a visit
to some friends. The deceased was
about fifty years of age. Col. Jones
had a number of friends in that com
munity, who are shocked to hear of
this dastardly outrage.
It is now stated that, instead of go
ing into the banking business at Chi
cago, Col. Frederick son of the Grant
Ulysses the 111 Termer, has formed
a partnership in the real estate busi
ness with Boss Shepherd, of the Dis
trict of Columbia, and will begin in
a short time the erection of a block
of forty houses on New' Jersey Av
enue. The Nashville Union says
there is some speculation as to how
this young gentleman, who was a ca
det at West Point a few years ago,
could have amassed sufficient money
to throw’ up his position in the army,
and branch out into these enterprises.
The supposition is that either the
President himself is the real investor,
or that somebody lias been quietly
holding a fortune for Fred, while he
was being educated at the public ex
pense at the military academy.
The same old trouble has broken
out afresh at Vicksburg, but as no
elections are pending now there is
hope that Grant may let the courts
regulate the matter without bayonet
intervention. Wash Davenport, the
negro chancery clerk, he who last
July told a mob of his race in a pub
lic speech that each of them had a
right to a white wife, has been lodg
ed in jail, the bondsmen who were
sureties for him on four charges of
perjury and one of altering public
records having recalled their security.
In this case there is no necessity for
interference by the President for the
protection of Davenport, who need
have no apprehension of a protract
ed residence in the penitentiary
while his friend milksop Ames, is
Governor, vested with the pardon
ing power.
The immense deposits of guano off
the coast of Peru have nearly been
exhausted by the constant draft made
upon them since their discovery a
number of years ago. Fortunately,
however, the great demand for a
natural fertilizer like guano has re
sulted in a careful search for addition
al sources of supply. Many of these
expeditions have been rewarded by
the discovery of an article that serves
as a substitute, although it lacks some
of the qualities that rendered Peru
vian so valuable to agriculturists.
More recently an important deposit
has been found off the coast of
South America, North of Peru, which
is said to rival in richness and extent
the famous beds that have proved such
a bonanza to the Peruvian govern
ment which derived an immense
revenue from the working of the
guano beds within its jurisdiction.
The quantity discovered though
large, is not likely to cause an appre
ciable difference in the price of the arti
cle, so farmers will have no further
cause for congratulation than the fact
that the supply is not likely to be
come exhausted at an early day.
A most interesting case to the en
tire community has closed in Wash
ington, in w r hich General Butler vol
unteered in behalf of two orphan
girls whose uncle has been trying to
wrest their homestead from them.
The title was defective, and the father
on his death had called his brother,
who had the title, and the latter prom
ised that the daughters should never
be disturbed. When the uncle sought
in the courts to dispossess the orphans
Butler volunteered to defend them,
expecting the case to occupy but a
few days. It has run five weeks in
stead, and Butler stuck to it to the
end, and closed the case with one of
the most eloquent speeches heard in
the District Court for a long time.
He wou the suit.
A day was appointed to hang a ne
gro man, a murderer, named Wil
liam Auld, in Orangeburg, S.U., late
ly, but for the reason that it was re
ported to the Governor that Auld
was “not ready to meet his Maker,”
he was respited to another day. There
were about four hundred negroes as
sembled to see Auld hung, and when
they learned of the postponement,
they became perfectly furious. One
of them constituted himself their
leader, and sent the following dis
patch to the Governor •
“There is twelve men demands jail
house key. We will hang the body
of William Auld to-day at one o’clock
p. in. He’s had fifty-five days to re
pent, and there are six hundred men
here to day to see him hung.
J. A. Green.”
The Governor telegraphed the Sher
iff to summons the citizens of Orange
burg to himself and adopt such
means as were necessary to protect
the prisoner at all hazards. The ex
citement was great and did not die
out until night-fall.
Guano Inyestk; ated. —The long
received opinion that guano is the
deposit of myriads of sea birds, accu
mulating through long ages, is ren
dered untenable by the recent inves
tigation of Dr. Habel. After treat
ing the guano with an acid, micro
scopical and chemical examination
revealed that the insoluble residue
was composed of fossil sponges and
other marine animals and plants pre
cisely similar in construction to such
as still exist in those seas. The fact
that the anchors of ships in the neigh
borhood of the guano islands often
bring up guano from the bottom of
the ocean is quite in opposition to
the prevalent belief. Dr. Habel there
fore considers that the deposit of
guano must be the result of the accu
mulation of fossil plants and animals
whose organic matter has been trans
formed into nitrogenous subject, the
mineral portion remaining intact.
A venerable African, over in Ala
bama, hassententiously expressed the
principle cause of the decay of South
ern prosperity in these words:
“Afore the war the white gentlemen
tended to the politics and the niggers
worked. Consequence was crops was
good and white folks had money
plenty. Now-a-days the white gen
tlemen and the niggers am both gone
crazy on politics, don’t neither of ’em
do no work, and consequence is ain’t
neither of ’em got ’nougli to buy corn
bread.”
We have unintentionally neglect
ed, heretofore, to speak of the retire
ment of Col. Avery from the Atlanta
Herald. We endorse every word of
the folllowing editorial from the
Barnesville Gazette .
Col. I. W. Avery, one of the most
polished and polite gentlemen in the
State, has retired from the Atlanta
Herald , and, as he says, from jour
nalism. We regret to hear it. The
combined duties of business manager
and active editor were too much for
his health, and hence the necessity
for retiring. He extends his kindest
feeling to the co-proprietors, local ed
itors and -attaches of the office, and
leaves the paper “hopeful, solid and
with the brightest prospects of any
journal in the State.” In his parting
words he says:
“I have thought that no more im
perial aspiration could fill any man’s
soul in this age of bold-witted pro
gress and sovereign thought than to
control a brave, independent and vir
tuous newspaper, among a noble and
intelligent people like ours of Geor
gia. Under this phase of purpose,
that I retire from a realization of this
cherished idea is no light disappoint
ment. The blended toils of business
manager and an active editor of an
ambitious daily journal in a progress
ive place like Atlanta, have been too
much for my health, never too robust.
This, and other reasons needless of
mention, have prompted a reluctant
retiracy.”
A DECISION OF MARKED IMPOR
TANCE.
New York Tribune.
The decision of the United States
Supreme Court yesterday in the case
of Cruikshank, Irwin and Hadnot
was one of marked importance. The
case came up from the Circuit Court
for the District of Louisiana, on a cer
tificate of Division. The indictment
was for conspiracy under the sixth
section of the Enforcement act of
May 1870. The main question in
volved was whether persons found
guilty of conspiring to prevent duly
qualified citizens from voting at any
election in the State, including Fed
eral elections, and also guilty of con
spiring to prevent citizens from ex
ercising any of the rights granted
them by the Constitution of the Unit
ed States, are guilty of a crime against
the United States. The court decided
that the indictment could not he sus
tained by the act of 1870, nor under
the Fourteenth Amendment. The
State of Louisiana, it was held, had
passed no law abridging any of the
rights of citizens, and there is, there
fore, no breach of the Constitution or
of its Amendments by the State to
whom the people of the United States
directed the commands of the Four
teenth Amendment. It was remark
ed in the opinion of the Court that
“the object of the amendment was
to restrain the States, not the inhabi
tants of the States, as assumed by the
Government. The consequence of a
conclusion being adopted as a law,
that the provisions of the Constitu
tion are addressed to each and every
inhabitant, would be the entire sub
versal of the institutions of the States,
and the immediate consolidation of
the whole and into a consolidated
empire, whose authority and procass
could wholly disregard the limits
and laws of the States.
After Bard was turned out of the
Post office in Atlanta, he went on to
Washington to see about it. In a
conversation with theP. M. General,
Bard asked him to tell him why
he was turned out.
Well, said, Jewell, that’s a pointed
question, and I will give you a
straight forward answer. You were
removed because you were altogether
‘too unanimous’—you talk too much,
write too much, and slosh around
generally too much for the good of
the service!”
‘‘Well Governor,” said Sam, ‘‘is
there any hope of a reconsideration
of my case?”
“None in the world, so far as I am
concerned!” was the Postmaster
General’s reply.
Mr. Bard thereupon concluded to
visit the “old man,” as he terms the
President, but at last accounts was
waiting for an audience.
“The chivalric inhabitants of Grif
fin and Barnesville, in the State of
Georgia, are in a terrible commotion
over the outrageous conduct of the
w ife of a colored preacher, who was
guilty of the heinous offense of at
tempting to ride in a passenger car
w ith white persons. Indeed, she so
far succeeded in her design as to re
main quietly seated until someone
of more than average astuteness dis
covered that a slight mixture of Af
ric’s warm blood coursed through
her veins, with a largequantity of the
same quality that gives life to the
Caucasian. Thereupon she was ig
nominiously thrust fourth, and con
demned to finish her journey in the
cattle ear.
The above is taken from the Wash
ington Chronicle. It was a well
known fact in this part of thecountry
that there are no cattle ears connect
ed with the passenger trains in Geor
gia. The press is an engine of great
power either for good or evil, and in
the Chronicle and Harper's Weekly
the cause of mendacity is well served.
The latter paper had recently a car
toon illustrating another event which
never existed outside the envenomed
imagination of its author the carica
turist of Harper,s Weekly. It pur
ports to illustrate the dismissal of a
congregation in Virginia assembled
for divine worship merelv because a
negro woman was found seated in
the church.
The letter “y” ought to be added
to the name of Nast to properly de
scribe his vocation, and yet these
“whited sepulchres,” who “thank
God that they are not as other men”
prate about Southern intolerance as
the cause which prevents “fraterni
ty bet ween the North and the South.”
Such is the “olive branch” extended
by the North to the South. Will
such slanders never cease ?
From Texas and other points in
the South w r e have encouraging re
ports of crop prospects. The truth is
that the Southern people are in bet
ter condition now, so far as business
affairs are concerned, than they have
been for twenty years. The loss of
value in slave property and the de
crease of value in real estate has been
compensated for to some extent by
the general advantage derived from
the free use of the bankrupt act, and
more than compensated for by the
reduction to a sober and substantial
basis the manner of conducting busi
ness affairs. — National Republican.
