THE LATEST NEWS.
Mayne Read, the author, is dead.
All the baggage on the steamers burned in N.
Orleans a few days ago, was burnt.
The report of the killing of Marquis de Canx,
the husband of the cantatrice Adelina l’atti,
in a duel, proves to be untrue. An exchange
saye he isn't that sort of a cat.
The mayor of St. Louis, A. B. Barrett, a man
universally esteemed, died a few day ago.
.Jeff. Davis has been tendered the presidency
of the agricultural college at Bryan, Texas.
A man in Alabama, was lined $25 for beating

Dr. Eugene Levert, a very prominent divine,
of Marion, Ala., diet! recently, aged TO years
and G months.
Col. J. J. Findlay, of Gainesville, will run as
the Radical opponent of Ben Hill in the Ninth
Congressional District. If Brice runs, and it
1* said he will, a Radical may possibly slip in,
to the disgrace of the State, and especially or
the heroic Ninth.
A difficulty occurred on Monday night last in
Athmta, between two railroad ticket dealers,
Messrs. R. D. Mann andThos. Magill, in which
the former was badly wounded hv a pistol shot
in the left arm.
The frost of last Friday night, killed all the
fruit in Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana.
We fear that the Cotton Factory at Atlanta
will be a bust. Mr. Kimball says to raise the
sum sufficient the present stockholders will
have to increase their shares.
The memorial celebration at Atlanta was a
perfect success--nothing accurring to mar the
perfect harmony of affairs. The address was
delivered at DcGivc’s bvCaptain Jackson, and
is pronounced by an Atlanta exchange as very
impressive.
The 26th being an Odd Fellow’s anniversary
also, was properly celebrated by the Order at
Atlanta. The address was delivered by Bro.
Sidney Dell, and was as good an one as we ev

A. T. Stewart expended $40,000
last year in newspaper advertising.
He takes no stock in placards.
A Costly Joke.— At a gambling
saloon in France, lately, one of the
Rothchilds lit a thousand franc note
to make a light for a miser to hunt
a Louis d’or which had fallen from
the card table to the floor.
The New York Tridune has enter
ed its magnificent new building, and
as managed by Whitelaw Reid, is
second in no peculiar excellence of a
newspaper to any to-day published

St. Louis boasts of 490,000 inhabi
tants and yet votes only 30,000. Cities
generally have five inhabitants to
each voter. Several blankets were
severely stretched in claiming more
than 300,000 souls for the country’s fu
ture capital.
Cortinas says the sixteen Mexican
raiders, who frightend Corpus Chris
ti so mercilessly, acted in direct con
travention of his orders. Perhaps
the rascals would obey Grant even if
they don’t respect “my lord of Tam
aulipas.” _
Senator Alcorn has fifteen miles of
plank fencing along the front of his
magnificent estate in Coahoma coun

If seasons be favorable he will make
this year certainly 3000 cotton hales
and corn and hogs enough to estab

letter writer in the New York World.
Ex. Gov. A. J. Hamilton, of Texas,
died at Austin on Saturday morning
last, of hemorrage of the lungs. He
had been' afflicted with consumption
some months, and had recently re
turned to Austin from Savannah
somewhat improved, but hursted a
blood vessel while coughing and died
instantly.
A horrible disaster occurred at
New Orleans on the 23d inst. Three
first-class'Steamers, the John Kyle,
Exporter, Charles Bodman, were
burned to the waters’ edge, with, it
is thought, from twenty to one hun
dred passengers. A pleasure party
from Cincinnati was on board one of
the boats, many of whom are
thought to be lost.
A well authenticated rumor is afloat
in Washington to the effect that Lau
daulet Williams is about to resign.
This reform comes too late. Wil
liams has already disgraced the coun
try to the extent of his ability. Be
sides, if Williams should resign, who
is going to run the government and
command tyearmy and navy this
summer, when Grant is taking his
cocktails and smoking his partegas
at Long Branch?
Commenting on President Grant’s
letter declining to accept an invita
tion to the Mecklenburg Centennial,
the New York Herald says spiteful
ly : Gen. Grant has accepted so much
that this declination may be regard
ed as an apology to the country for
the errors of the past. The North
Carolina committee, however, it
must be remembered, neither offered
him a dog nor a horse—nor another
term.
Gen. Forrest, it is stated, goes to
California to find a home—at least
in Sonora. He has a fancy that the
States of Mexico proposed to be an
nexed, are enormously rich, and
that when our government grasps the
wide districts between the Rio
Grande and the Pacific, and North of
a line drawn across the country from
the river’s mouth to that of the Gulf
of California, he will find a magnifi
cent field for the development of
his wonderful genius for government.
The flag captured by Charlestoni
ans,and returned to Massachusetts be
cause such relics here to do no good
and excite memories that should live
no longer, was not very kindly re
ceived by some of the good Boston
ians. The historic regiment that
made the terrible assault upon the
fort and lost the flag was constituted
wholly of negroes, hired and whisk
eyed to fight by the patriots of the
Hub, and this fact leaking out, the
Ilub “creaks” do not like it. and
the unctious Ben Butler must put
his shoulder to the wheel. But it is
a great shame that Boston, so gladly
accepting negro substitutes in war,
will now wear as gladly negro honors
in peace.
Miss Jennie Patterson, a worthy
and accomplished young lady, who
has been giving a series of readings
in this State, is a native Mississippi
an, born in Claiborne county, and,
under the tutelage of her aunt, Mrs.
Stanford, the wife of one of the ear
liest associates of the senior of this
paper, has become one of the very
best readers of the present day. Mrs.
Stanford is, herself, one of the most
accomplished ladies in the South, and
has given Miss Jennie a finished ed
ucation. The family connection of
Miss Jennie rank among the most re
spectable in the South. The father
if we mistake not, is now residing in
Italy. He was, if our memory serves
U3 correctly, in our youthful days,
regarded as one of the very best
portrait painters of the day, and
as a humorous writer, under the nom
deplume of “Bill Easel,” had few su
periors—fully equal to Bret Harte.
Her uncle, glorious old Clem. Stan
ford fell with the patriotic Lopez, in
Cuba. We have heard some of the fa
mous stage readers, but do not enjoy
their reading more than that of Miss
Jennie, and exceedingly regret that
we could not hear her while in At
lanta.
A New Party Movement. —The
Chicago Times has information of a
new national party, now brooding
in secrecy, to be sprung upon the
country with a grand flourish of
trumpets at Cincinnati next Septem
ber. It is to be called the National
Industrial, but its platform is not
yet defined or definable, although
the laboring element is expected to
furnish the votes while pleonastic
theorists will furnish the princples.
A national invitation committee
has been appointed, by themselves or
somebody else, with headquarters at
No. 5 Park Place, New York, and
Horace H. Day, the Goodyear rubber
patent millionaire, appears to he
chairman. The number who are
“going it blind” on the new move
ment is said to be astonishing. The
element secrecy takes, and the ab
sence of a definite platform makes
every hobby-rider happy in antici
pation of a national opportunity to
ventilate his pet theories. The pre
parations are systematic enough,
however, to ensure a rare collection
of anthropological speci mens at
Cincinnnati next September.
Utilizing Grasshoppers.—A
letter writen by Professor Thomas
Taylor, one of the Bureau of Agri
culture, says: It may not be general
ly known that some of the Indian
tribes of the Western plains and
mountains have long been accustomed
to utilize them as an article of food.
They are captured by being driven
into a trench dug in the earth, pre
viously heated hv burning brush,
grass, and other combustibles, where
they are soon roasted and thorough
ly dried. They are then pounded
into a consistency of meal, which,
when mixed with acorn, similarly
prepared, flour or Indian meal, and
made up into cakes, dried in the sun,
are said to he an excellent and most
nutritious food.
General Sherman says that during
some of his early Indian campaigns
in the West, having accepted hospi
tality of friendly braves, grasshoppers
thus prepared notunfrequently figur
ed in the hill of fare at the banquet.
It is said that at least forty mem
bers of Congress intend to begin the
campaign next session, by protest
ing, with a view to its total excision,
of the postal clause, which in the last
hour of the forty-third Congress,
doubled the rate upon the transmis
sion of newspapers, pamphlets, books,
samples, and other miscellaneous
“third class” matter sent through the
post office. Whether this was sim
ply a careless legislative action, or
a blunder ora deliberate action in the
terest of the express companies, the
result is all the same—a most un
warrantable duplication of a tax upon
the commnity. If, as is said and be
lieved, this was the action of a Sena
tor there may be a further motion to
enquire into it as a violation of the
principle that the privilege of impos
ing a tax exclusively belongs to the
House of Representatives.
An Insane Man With A Pistol
in The White House.— Recently
a man by the name of Lockhart was
discovered in the Executive man
sion with a pistol in his possession,
and taken into custody. On Friday
his son arrived from Indiana to con
duct him home. “It is supposed,”
says the correspondent of the Balti
more Sun, “that Lockhart had some
important secret on his mind which
has had the effect to derange it.”
Lucky that he is not an unreconstruct
ed rebel from the South, or his ap
pearence in the White House with a
pistol in his possession would be
seized upon as evidence that anew
rebellion is imminent, and that Sheri
dan ought to be at once turned loose
to shoot, hang, draw and quarter the
Southern banditti. What a third
term campaign document Lockhart
would have been if he had chanched
to hail from Georgia instead of In
diana.
The King of Burmah has conclud
ed to start a newspaper, and hits on
a neat way to secure a paying sub
scription list. He simply decrees that
such of his subjects as refuse to sub
scribe shall be beheaded. He is will
ing to pay a competent Anglo-Indian
editor a thousand rupees a month,
on condition that the King’s line of
policy shall be followed with constant
approval and nothing displeasing
to his Majesty must appear on pain
of the bastinado. He has not yet
found an editor, and the heads of his
subjects remain safe on their should
ers.
A serial called “The Carpet Bag
ger,” has been printed in the Gaines

Under the law of the last session of
Congress, providing for a commission
to test the quality of American iron
and steel, work will be begun in
about a week. The first step is to
build the machines for testing pur
poses. They will cost about S7OO each
and each Supervising Inspector will
have ten in his district. To build
these machines will take about two
months. The object of these tests is
not with any view of discriminating
in favor of any American manufac
turers of iron and steel, but solely
with the view of forming accurate
knowledge as to the exact endurance
and strength of these two great arti
cles of American manufacture, and
to what extent they may be applied
in resisting enormous pressure. The
Government officers and the trade
interests concerned in the manufac
ture of iron and steel are confident
that great results will he obtained
from the tests.
The bitter contest between rival
telegraph lines for the patent on sun
dry new and important inventions,
has developed serious charges of cor
ruption against Wilber, the Chief
Examiner in the Patent Office. W.
E. Sawyer, one of the claimants, says
he gave Wilber a certificate of $5,000
stock in Cable Printing Telegraph
Company in consequence of the lat
ter’s importunities and through fear
that he might injure him if not ap
peased. Notwithstanding this, he
charges Wilber, with procuring the
insertion on his letters-patent of the
word “Ferro-Cyonide,” instead of
“Ferrid Cyanide,” in ordor that a
claim by Edison of the use of ferrid
cyanide of potassium in the prepara
tion of chemical telegraph receiving
paper might be allowed.
The Worng Ox Gored.—A Lou
isana man writes to the Courier-Jour
nal that he has discovered the reason
why Gen. Sheridan’s threats to pub
lish a detailed account of the 3,500
murders in Louisiana had never been
carried into effect. It seems that
“Little Phil” did order the books
posted, hut they panned out badly.
Instead of showing that the Demo
cratic and white banditti had waded
up to their chins in blood, damning
fact was revealed that 80 or 90 per
cent, of all the murders in the Peli
can State were perpetrated by Repub
lican voters (negroes,) and 95 percent,
of the robberies. Whereupon Radi
cal orators, preachers and editors
grew dumb.
The Murder of American Pro
testants in Mexico.— The Captain
of the United States ship Saranac,
which was sent to Acapulco in conse
quence of the religious disturbances
of that town, which resulted in the
death ofan American citizen,has made
a report to the Navy Department,
giving the result of his inquiries. A
small society of Protesants, it appears,
had been formed, and was regularly
worshipping under the ministrations
of the Rev. Mr. Hutchinson, of the
Presbyterian mission in Mexico. Du
ring divine service upon one occasion
they were attacked by a number of
Mexicans armed with machetes and
muskets, and in the melee which en
sued three men and a woman were
killed and eleven wounded.
A shadow comes upon the efful
gent yarns about the Black Hills
gold discoveries. Gold which parties
claimed to have brought from the
hills was examined by some old mi
ners at Sioux City the other day, who
declared that it had been dug out of
the ground several years, and bore
evidences of having been carried
about for sensational purposes. This
announcement caused great excite
ment among parties who were pre
paring to go to the gold fields, and
the men who brought the specimens
got out of town as quickly as they
could.
Our life-long and most estimable
friend, Col. W. H. Sparks, delivered
a lecture at the Mechanics’ Institute
in Atlanta on Thursday night last on
“Enterprise,” which we are pleased
to see has been published entire, in
the Herald . We have not yet read
it, but mean to do so, as we know it
cannot but be good, emanating from
the source it does. We wish an ar
rangement could be effected to get
our friend Sparks to pay Cartersville
a visit, that he might stir up a little
of the latent spirit of the town.
The muss in Gainesville finally
wound up in a semi-row on Thurs
day last. There was no regular nom
ination—at least none made by the
Convention composed of Beil and
Hill men. The Hill men issued a
request to him to run and he has
agreed to do so, and has made his ap
pointments. The other portion of
the Convention has nominated Col.
John B. Estes, who evidently goes
into the race with a feeling of certain
ty of defeat.
It has been ascertained that an ex
amination of the books of the late
Mr. Benjamin Atwood shows that
he has given away $5,000 checks an
onymously to the value of $2,275,000.
From the same source it is assertain
ed that Mr. Atwood gave away to
his relations and dependents
over $2,000,000. It is the first time
that a private English gentlemen
has administered upon his own es
tate to the extent of $4,275,000.
Mr. Beecher, who began his direct
testimony by a rather ostentatious
refusal to be sworn on the Bible,
claiming that his objection was a
matter of conscience, when cross-ex
amined failed to remember how he
had taken the oath on former occa
sions and could not even remember
whether he had or had not sworn
upon the Bible in his first oath in
this very case. The foreman of the
jury in the previous ca&e says he
swore squarely and fairly on the Bi
ble. Mr. Beecher has been so long
wriggling on the ragged edge of dis
pair that no wonder his memory is
failing.

Fast Printing.— An extraordi
nary advertisement as showing the
progress of modern printing, was re
cently noted in Glasgow". The Even
ing Star changed proprietors, and
was afterward issued from the office
of the Glasgow News, whereupon the
fact w 7 as announced by means of no
less than 1,025,000 little hand bills,
which were printed in the incredi
bly small space of half an hour. Such
a feat of rapid printing, says the
News, has never been performed and,
it would have been impossible to
perform it, but for the Walter press.
The process was interesting. The
small hand bill, measuring three in
ches by two, reproduced by stereotyp
ing at the extent of 336 times, and by
4,000 revolutions of the Walter press
the million bills were printed. It
occupied ten hours to cut them up
with a steam guillotine machine,
and they were distributed throughout
the town from the windows of two
carriages.
The Patent office, a department of
the government which has hitherto
been regarded as free from the taint
of corruption and fraud, now comes
in for its share of investigation. It is
charged that the chief examiner of the
patent office has been found guilty
of the grossest abuses of the sacred
functions of his position—such as re
ceiving bribes, revealing confidential
information, tampering with letters
patent in the interest of rival appli
cants, etc. In the interest of Ameri
can inventive skill it is to be hoped
that the patent office may be cleans
ed of even the slightest ground for
the allegation of dishonesty or irreg
ularity, and, whether the pending
investigation results in finding the
chief examiner guilty or innocent of
the serious charges against him, the
patent office will be none the worst
for a through overhauling. —Chicago
Tribune.

GRANT ANI) THE THIRD TERM OUES
TION.
Since administration of Waterloo
in Connecticut, the Radicals are be
coming more and more shaky on the
subject of the third term, and the
leaders are more than ever anxious,
now that they are convinced that the
scheme is hopeless, that Grant shall
relieve the party of all uncertainty
as to his views and aspirations. The
Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun says: “It has trans
pired that during the present visit of
the President to New England a de
termined effort is to be made to draw
from him some avowal as to the third
term. The President received
through the mails more than one
communication calling upon him to
state his position in regard to a third
term, and suggesting that a most op
portune occasion would be afforded
during his New England trip. The
day before he left Washington a sug
gestion of this nature was made per
sonally to him, but evoked no res
ponse whatever. A personal friend
of the President, not a politician nor
an office-hunter, with whom he gen
eraly talks freely, says that Gen.
Grant has conversed with him unres
ervedly on the third term agitation.
This gentlemen declines positively
to intimate even in the most indirect
manner what the President has said
on the subject. The inference is that
the President has not yet made up
his mind to disown that hopeless am
bition. A leading New England
Radical says the time has come when
the President must make some pub
lic utterance on this subject, and that
the people of New England will put
it to him in such a way that he can
not avoid it. But the opinion in pol
itical circles here is that all New
England cannot induce the President
to open his lips if he is not so inclin
ed.”
Like the old man of the sea, Grant
likes his position, and is determined
to “hold his holt.” There is no use
of trying either to drive or coax
him to relax his grip on the neck
of the party who elevated him to
power, and what makes the case
worse, unlike Sinbad’s tormentor,
the more the Radicals bribe and treat
Grant, the firmer he’s going to stick.

HON. JOHN W. WOFFORD.
He Givs* His Views on the Situation—He
Endorses Gordon, but Thinks Gordon
Didn’t Go Far Enough—How the
Next Fight Could be Won—The
Radicals acted the Rascal,
the Deouicrats the Fool.
Cartkusville, Ga., April, 12 1875.
To the Editors of the Herald:
1 have read with deep interest, your account
of an interview with Gen. Gordon, and his views
upon national polities. So far as he goes 1 agree
witli him, hut I do not think his platform broad
enough to hold all the elements neeessary to
beat Grant in 1870. For that Grant will be the
Republican candidate next year, and that he
means to be President, no one can doubt who
has read aright the political sign-board lor the
past twelve months. Grant will not surrender
the Presidential office, unless his defeat is by a
man supported by the people, and by the loyal
people, with a heartiness that will make the
will of the country unmistakable. The issue
will have to be put where the people will be
with his successor, and when 1 say people, I
mean the people of both sections, or he will
take the chances of resistance.
That General Grant and his immediate fol
lowers do not intend to surrender the control
of the government to the Democratic party
without a struggle, and without the resort to
means to prevent it, botli lair and foul, I have
no more doubt of, than 1 ha ve that the sun rises
in the east. And when we look at it from his
stand-point it is not wholly unnatural; true, it
is selfish nature, not broad and catholic nature,
hut it is the nature with which most ol the world
is most familiar.
That the Northern people should he zealous
in their care for the “ Results of the War,” and
that they should he suspicious of the Democrat
ic party as guardians of the rights secured oy
those “ Results,” and doubly so of the Southern
people, is nothing more nor less than what
ought to be expected. Therefore any issue
which puts in jeopardy those “Results,” se
cures a united North, and the consequent suc
cess of the candidate of that section. We now
have the semblance of liberty, and the question
for us to decide is, whether it is worth more to
us to [struggle over the question of the war
settled, and lose the semblance of liberty left
"us, or unite our hearts and hands w ith every
lover oi the constitution and fight for its su
premacy. Mr. Evarts said truly, there
ARE NOT ONE HUNDRED MEN IN THE UNION
who appreciate our nearness to centralized
government. There is not much power
outside of AVashington now; it cannot remain
as it is. if there is more power there, General
Grant will be president nv election or other
wise; if there ts less he will have been so over
whelmingly defeated that he will surrender to
his successor.
Nor can the day be won by asking pay of the
Confederate debt; nor pay for the slaves the
results of the war ireed.
Nor can we do it by hoisting upon our ban
ners the name of a southern Democrat, for lie
is the head and Iront of the offending against
these cherished results of the war. Gen. Gor
don, in declining to be a candidate, showed both
wisdom and patriotism.
Rut a platform framed in honest recognitiom
of these results of the war, (results carved up
on the history of the country with the sword,)
with the Constitution and liberty our watch
cry, to which shall be added Economy and Hon
esty in the administration of the government,
beaded by a man of recognized honesty and
liberality of sentiment, let him be called Dem
ocrat or Republican—one who loves liberty
more than party, the American people will
rally to him. This will make a common ground
upon which every patriot can stand, and for
which he will fight. What we want is security
in the results of the war of 1776, and an honest
administration of the government ol 1876.
Without elaborating further, my conclusion
is, that the real battle, the only fight worth the
sacrifice, is yet to be fought between liberty
and centralism. It can’t be done on the negro,
because he is a voter, a witness, a citizen, the
equal of his white brother before the law, and
that is one of the results of the war. It can’t
be done on the national debt, for the whole
North, Democrats and Republicans, are inter
ested in that; the millions of gold interest an
nually paid on it goes into their pockets. It
ean’t be done on the pensions to Union soldiers,
for that is one of the results of the war. It
can’t be done on the constitutional amend
ments, for they are part of the fundamental
law, and passed expressly to make secure the
results ol the war. Rut we can say that “ ap
propriate legislation ” means legislation for
the benefit of all the people.
THE CENTRALIST STRONGER THAN IS SUPPOSED.
There are more people in this country in fa
vor of a stronger central government than the
constitution provides lor than is generally
known. There are various causes for this, and
different contingencies increase or diminish
the number according to circumstances. For
instance, this class of persons have unfailing
friends in all of those who believe any form of
monarchist government prel'arable to that rul
ed by the populace. Then the insubordination
of the people in some sections to the law has
given rise to another class of centralists; this
lorce is increased by all those who think the
“ results of the war ’’cannot be as well preserv
ed by the people as by a strong central power;
then come the bondholders who are in constant
dread of attacks upon ihe national debt by the
people, and who scent danger in the universal
ballot, and hope in ihe central bayonet. And
last, but not least, conic the army officers,
some of whom want employment, all of them
places, some opportunities for the business of
their calling, all manufactured at West Point,
that devilish institution which ha* done this
country great harm, and which will do it much
more, and which ought to be abolished before
another day passes, see more for themselves
in a government,centered at Washington,than
in the people scattered from the Atlantic to
the Pacific.
No political organization from the inaugura
tion of AVashington till now, ever heaped upon
itself tho mountain of iniamy under which the
Radical party to-day staggers. And but for
the folly of the Democrats in forcing issues
that united the stronger section against the
weaker, it would have sunk under it years
ago.
The administration of General Grant in the
Southern States, the class of persons as a rule,
he has appointed to places of trust and power,
would have damned any man before any peo
ple where the issue was fairly made of honesty
and dishonesty. Rut the vallainy of the Rad
icals has not availed the Democrats, for as fast
as the Radicals acted the rascal, the Democrats
acted the fool.
Allow me to say, in conclusion, that I do not
write this because I think, my views of much
value, but because I think the country is in
real peril, and when that is so, it’s the duty ot
every patriot to speak.

Jacob Scott, colored, writes to a Ten
nessee paper that he does not see that
the Civil Rights Bill has done the
negroes aDy good whatever. He
says: “I had thought that after the
passage of that hill, the best quality
of my people Avould class themselves
and keepout the illiberal people; but,
sir ,the meanest of my race want the
front seats in hotels, theatres and
our churches, and our married men
associate on the streets and highways
with the most disreputable Avomen.
If we had thiscountry to ourselves,
the idiot would be the first and the
intelligent last.”
Jacah’s head is level.
General Standish and Monroe Par
son, Confederate officers, after the
Avar went to Mexico to join General
Shelby’s command. They were
there killed by guerillas. Through
Gen. Albert Pike, upon the demand
of the Government, Mexico has paid
fifty thousand dollars in gold to the
heirs of these deceased soldiers of the
Confederacy.
It is said that General Spinner su
pervised the passage of fifty-five
thousand millions of dollars through
the Treasury during his term of four
teen years, and the losses of all kinds
did not amount to one dollar on the
million. Pretty good record for the
venerable Spinner.
There is but one line of mail steam
ships plying between this country and
European ports which carries the
United States flag. All others are
ow ned and controlled by British and
Continental capitalists. So much for
Grant’s administrative policy.
