in currency, and S6OO in gold and silver. The
latter has been found in a melted state.
Rumors of a disastrous fire in Nashville, Tenn

from Macon, Hawkinsville and
Augusta.
Egypt and the Centennial.—
A Correspondent of the New York
Tunes, writing from Egypt, states
that the Viceroy has decided to en
courage an exhibition from Egypt,
at the American Centennial. Among
other features of this department
will be the reproduction of the wond
drous tomb of Beni Hassan, which at
tracted so much attention at the
Vienna exposition.
And nowßienzi Johnson, the last
young partner of Col Carey W.
Styles, of the Albany News , has tak
en unto himself a wife, and leaves
the News because, forsooth, he thinks
there is not business enough in the
concern to support three married
men. We hope that his new enter
prise, whatever it may be, will
yield a sufficiency to support his
family.
Crop News. —Having become pan
icstruck over the cold snap and pre
dicted the wholesale destruction of
crops, the newspapers are now en
gaged in telling how the crops afore
said have largely escaped annihila
tion. Even Delaware peaches have
an encouraging prospect. The first
rumors of disaster are always exag
gerated.
THE PATRIOT AND THE PLACE
MAN.
The time will come when the South
will reverence more the name of
Judge Poland, the brave Vermont
Yankee Congressman, than that of
any living man. When he was about
to make his report on Arkansas af
fairs, he was sent for by the Presi
dent, and kindly informed that he
was expected to sustain Brimstone
Brooks, and his claims to the guber
natorial chair. Judge Poland mod
estly objected, but evading, at the
time, a discussion of the matter,
withdrew. He was not silent among
his friends, and Grant, again hearing
that Poland would thwart his un
worthy aims of despotic force, again
sommoned the gray-haired Vermont
er to his presence. Grant was frank
ly informed of his purposes by Judge
Poland, and then the President be
gan to comprehend the possibility of
the failure of his plans. He proffered
Poland preferment when his term in
Congress expired. Poland declined,
and, at a third interview, Grant was
explicit in his efforts to buy the
Judge, proffering a place on the Su
preme Court bench. Poland simply
said, “ it has been my dream of life
long ambition to win that lofty place,
but, achieved at such a price, it would
cost more than it or all within your
power to give is worth.”
The interview was at an end, and
we would rather live in history as
the incorruptible Congressman than
as the slaughterer of myriads of our
race, over whose broken skulls and
reeking bodies a President, not for
getting bribes where blows have fail
ed, has climbed to seize a crown.
The Brownsville** (Tenn) Bee tells
us truly that the managing editor of
the Harpers Weekly is the chief
among idots, when headmiis a
full page illustration of Southern
negroes planting cotton, opening
with a long handled shovel and cover
ing the seeds with a hoe. But when
he comes down to the crows eating
our cotton seed his idiocy approaches
inspiration.
This brings forcibly to our mind
an occurrence which we witnessed
on board the Steamer Gen. Quitman,
on the Mississippi river, some four
or five years ago. On board were a
party of four greenys from some
where North of Mason and Dixon’s
line, who had “hired a plantation”
on which to cultivate cotton. They
had also “engaged” the services of
sixty hands, and were now on their
way to New Orleans, to lay in the
necessary implements, stock and pro
visionsi expecting to make a crop of
four hundred bales. They had a very
artistcally drawn up map, represent
ing the manner in which they inten
ded to lay out their field. The grow
ing cotton loked very well on the pa
per only it resembled sugar cane more
than it did the cotton plant.
Not one of these men had ever seen
a stalk of cotton growing, or had the
slightest idea what the plant looked
like. When told it was a tender
plant, they seemed disposed to
doubt it and thought those who told
them so were hoaxing them. To show
their utter ignorance of the process
of making the great staple, they had
only rented forty acres of land on
which they had calculated to pro
duce ten bales to the acre. Unfor
tunately there was a great overflow
of the Louisiana bottoms, (in which
that forty acres were located) that
year, and they were not allowed to
find in the usnal manner, w hat fools
they were.
The Cabinet pot still boi ; j. Ham
ilton Fish has consented to stay for the
time being, but will not remain long
er. The President has taken com
plete possession of his department,
appointing ministers, secretaries and
consuls without a word of consulta
tion with its chief, and often in oppo
sition to his known wishes. In fact,
for some time past, Mr Fish has been
little more than a registering clerk in
respect to appointments. He has nev
er resented this interference, but, on
the contrary, has submitted to the de
gradation of his trust with a humili
ty worthy of a Williams or a Rober
son. At last, however, it has become
intolerable, and Mr. Fish means to
retreat before the deluge comes next
year, and find shelter in London.
When he withdraws, Judge Pierre
pont is to be Secretary of State, unless
Mr. Conkling, who does not like him,
should be able to prevent it. If Pierre
pont is thus promoted, Judge Hoar,
of Massachusetts, will be made At
torney General for the second time.
An unpleasant phase of the Amer
ican fever for “moving west,” is the
fact that thousands are now pushing
for the Pacific coast without any per
ceptible inducement beyond vague ex
pectations. The labor market there
is overstocked, in city and country,
but the tide of immigration is unpre
cedently heavy. The Baltimore Amer
ican aptly remarks that it will be well
for this country when we no longer
have a West to emigrate to. When
that time comes the growth of the
nation will react toward the center.
The population of the great Central
States and the Mississippi Valley can
be doubled, and yet not reach more
than ahundred to thesquare mile. The
country will grow in a different way.
Great manufacturing cities will arise;
interior towns and cities will be built
up; coal and iron resources will be
more fully developed, and there will
not be such unequal conditions as to
induce the burning of breadstuff's for
fuel.
Counterfeit greenbacks are making
their appearance in Augusta, and all
persons handling money should be
on the watch for them. The Consti
tutionalist says the Augusta banks
have received quite a number of these
bogus papers, purporting to be the is
sue of the Trade National Bank, of
Chicago, and the First National Bank
of Paxton, lilinoia. It is possible
they may reach here.
The German Government and
Religious Liberty.— The London
Times , which is generally suppossed
to be strongly German in its sympa
thies, gives the foilwing explanation
of the course adopted by Germany to
ward Belgium —an explanation
w T hich is certainly ingenious if it is
not absolutely correct.
The feeling that secretly animates
her present legislation is that relig
ious liberty is the liberty of charla
tanism and imposture, W’hich should
be restricted by the State in the in
tellectual and moralinterests of the
community. But the Germans must
be content to make experiments in
this direction on their own soil.
They may succeed in establishing
new’ princples, and the w’orld may
come to them for lessons, as it did
three centuries ago; but until they
have demonstrated the soundness
of their policy by its success, the oth
er nations are likely to keep to the
old way. _
The cost of political anarchy in
Louisiana is neatly illustrated, says
the Wortdl by the little item of $117,000
which the Louisiana Legislature the
other day, just before adjourning, ap
priated to pay the expense of the ex
tra session convened to act upon Mr.
Wheeler’s compromise. This sum is,
to be sure, but a small fraction of the
actual loss suffered by that unhappy
State in interrupted business by reason
of President Grant’s invasion of the
Louisiana Legislature last January,
to go no" further back than January
in the history of the President’s Lou
isiana usurpations. But it is sufficient
to pay a year’s interest on nearly tw’o
million dollars of the bonds which
Louisiana Radicals have sold to un
suspecting purchasers, and now virtu
ally repudiate. If the holders of
Louisiana bonds should sue Grant
and Sheridan for the amount ex
pended on his extra session of the
Legislature, of course no money
would be recovered, but the suit
W’ould be a just one.
Transfer of Lee’s Statue. —
The transfer of the recumbent statue
of Gen. Robert E. Lee, from Rich
mond to his grave at Lexington, Va.,
has been attended with ceremonies
that show the affection with which
his memory is cherished among Vir
ginians. At Richmond a regiment
of troops and several civic organiza
tions accompanied the box contain
ing the statue to the railroad station,
W’here it was placed in charge of ten
students of the Richmond University,
as a guard of honor. The box itself
was beautifully decorated with flow’-
ers and evergreens: at every depot
fresh flowers and wreaths were ad
ded by deputations of ladies. Among
the commitee receiving the statue at
Lynchburg, was the ex-Confederate
Gen. Jubal A. Early.
A gratifying instance of the Presi
dent’s firmness in standing by any
one w’ho is a relative of his. was
shown in his appointment of W. M.
Maynardier as paymaster in the
army. The Senate refused to confirm
him, because of the well authentica
ted charges of drunkenness and gen
eral dissipation that w r ere brought
against him. This left him in the
exact predicament of Judge Pardee,
in whose case Attorney Williams
ruled that the President could neith
er appoint Pardee nor any one else,
leaving Durell’s court without an
occupant till next December. But
the pliant attorney ruled differently
in the case of Maynardier, who hap
pens to be a cousin of Mrs. Grant.
A gentleman who has resided for
some time in the State of Tamauli
pas, Mexico, where the border raid
ers come from, stated to a reporter
of the New Orleans Times , recently,
that Cortina and Canales, the Greaser
backers, in his opinion, have been
aided and abetted by parties in Wash
ington, who furnished them with
money for their marauding expedi
tions in Texas. Both of these leaders,
he says, have been in correspondence
with United States citizens, and he
knows they have had a sudden acces
sion of funds. He thinks there is an
attempt made to originate a war be
tween the Republics by parties who
expect to derive profit from the op
erations.
Presence of mind and daring saved
a man’s life at the copper mine near
Villa Rica a few days ago. The
miner had set a blast and placed the
lighted fuse in it and was being
drawn out of the shaft by the wind
lass, when the gear suddenly got out
of order and refused to work. The
man hung suspended for a few mo
ments, his .life hung on a|thread, as it
were, and a minute’s delay would
have ended his existence, but with
great presence of mind he leaped to
the bottom, a distance of twenty feet,
snatched the fuse from its position
and thus saved his life. He was lit
erally within one minute of death.
Not satisfied with the old Demo
cratic style of governing the District
of Columbia, the Republicans gave
it a territorial form. In his message
suggesting its failure, President
Grant modestly estimated the cost of
the experiment at $14,000,000. Al
ready the audited debt runs over $20,-
000,000, with unknown claims still
outstanding. This enormous sum
was made away with, by Boss Shep
herd, in less than three years!
Adelina Patti is not a widow yet.
The reported death of the Marquis
de Caux is denounced with superflu
ous energy as false “and utterly with
out foundation.” It is not certain
even that a duel has been fought by
him. It was a London sensation,
and ran long enongh to call out ob
ituaries by the million, and mingled
condolences and congratulation for
Patti from her admirers in two
worlds. The Marquis de Caux was
never so famous as he was for the
twenty-four hours he was believed to
be dead.
An enthusiastic potato-grower has
discovered that the esculent can be
raised at any season of the year so
cheaply that new’ potatoes need nev
er be a luxury. Salt is the agent that
is to assist in this desirable style of
production in and out of season, and
the tuber will come to the table al
ready seasoned. This is like feeding
a sucking pig on brine to flavor the
flesh, a plan often resorted to by an
cient Britons. Who says moderns do
not know how to do these things ?
Ex-Governor English, of Connecti
cut, who has just returned from his
tour of the South, says of the people
of Texas that “they have seemingly
forgotten that there ever was war,
and from every act and expression I
glean the information that they-wel
come anybody who will come there
to better their condition, regardless
of any political association. It is a
very rare thing for them to refer to a
man’s politics; not half so much as
we in New’ England do.”
The Indianapolis Journal says:
“If American institutions fail, it will
be the fault of Americans themselves
allowing the control of affairs to pass
into the hands of the uneducated, ir
responsible rabble.” Yet what paper
has insisted more strenuously upon
putting and keeping the entire
South under the rule of the uneduca
ted irresponsible rabble than the
Journal f Whatman in high place
has been more in the advocacy of
this policy than the Journal's fellow
citizen, Senator Morton ?
Rumor is busy with the opinions
of the jury in the Brooklyn trial, and
says that Chester Carpenter, the fore
man, is a firm believer in Beecher,
W’ho cannot be shaken. The Chicago
Times has information that Bowen
will be called by Tilton’s counsel to
close the rebuttal, and startling de
nouncements maybe expected. They
wanted the Woodhull also, but she
says the atmosphere in that court
room is too foul for her.
If any citizen of Mississippi
fail, for thirty days, to pay his privi
lege tax he can collect no debt due
himself. Ames signed the bill. It
was right and wise enough for a ne
gro Legislature to pass it but that a
white man should sign amazes man
kind. In a negro law T -giver’s eyes
the first duty of man is to pay taxes,
for the simple reason that the negro
pays none and handles and pockets a
deal of it. So in Texas, of towns gov
erned by non-taxpayers. We note
the follies and crimes of the rabble
when masters in other States, that
W’e may provide against their injec
tion into Georgia legislation.
Chicago seems to be in a Radical
weaving way. The tax deficit list is
$0,750,000, and the city borrowing
money to pay for its government;
the city is terribly in debt, and if
those delinquent taxes wero paid
there w’ould not be money sufficient
to pay what it owes. Chicago is a
Radical city under a Radical govern
ment.
Men must look to God for strength,
but straightway they must pour
out their whole strength up
on the awaiting world. The
clouds must draw their treasure
from the sea; but having stored their
great white mists stolen from the

to thunder over continents and ex
haust their blessings over fields that
reach from the pine to the palm.

A good pretext is now offered the
Harpers to stop their vulgar ribalry
and abuse of the South—the death of
the last old regime. Their weekly is
the last remaining relic of bitter Rad
ical literature and offensive cartoon
pictorial in the city of New York.
As the whole country has sickened of
the nauseating dose, the time is near
at hand when it will spurn these
Harper libels. The greatest objection
is that they are false and slanderous.
Constitutionalist.
We hope, as the old sore-headed
John, who never loved the South is
gone, they will change the the
tenor of the “journal of civilization.”
Ex-Governor Jenkins tells a good
story of the late Hon. Howell Cobb.
When Cobb’s gubernatorial term was
about expiring, his friends importun
ed him to run again. Waving them
off*, he said: “Gentlemen it is well
enough to be Governor of Georgia
once; but I have no respect for the
man who tvould try it on a second
time.’ ’
FREEDMAN’S BANK.
The Commissioners of the Freed
man’s bank now' have three hundred
thousand dollars in the United States
Treasury. It would require $600,000
in hand to declare a dividend of 20 per
cent to the depositors, seventy
two thousand in number.
Fifteen thousand of them have
claims less than five dollars
each. A large number of debtors
have paid to the institution small
amounts. The Commisioners have
offered the real estate of debtors for
sale at auction,but owing to the insuf
ficiency of the bids have bought in
the property themselves,thus convert
ing such indebtedness into real prop
erty. The question has been raised
that the Commissioners have not the
pow’er to acquire real estate, but that
their duty is to realize money only
to be distributed among the deposit
ors. They, however, are doing all in
their power to meet the expectations
of the depositors at the earliest
period. Owing to the depression in
the real estate market they cannot
dispose of such property which comes
into their possession. "Many of the
depositors are selling their bank books
at ten cents on the dollar to those
who can afford to wait for dividends.
The Attorney General has decided
that the Commissioners cannot resign
their office as they proposed doing
several months ago.— Sav. Adv.

ton anyhow’ A tailor in Vienna
lately enticed his five children into
a dark room and strangled them.
He then hung them up on nails.
When he got through w ith them, he
then hung himself. Poverty was
the cause. We knew a Mrs. Roper,
in Winston county, Miss., some thir
ty odd years ago, who cut off the
heads of three of her young children
and then tried to hang herself,for fear
they w’ould starve to death, and the
father was an industrious, well-to-do
farmer.
Monte Christo’s escape from the
sack in which he was flung into the
sea from the Chateau d’lf has been im
itated by an ingenious Persian. Hav
ing incurred the displeasure of a high
functionary at Shiraz, Mohammed
Miiza was condemed to be fastened
up in a sack with a viper, acock and
a cat, and after an hour’s time, when
the happy family had improved their
acquaintance, the sack and its con
tents were to be thown into the river.
Fortunately for Mohammed Mirza,
his executioners forgot to search his
pocket, which contained a small
knife. Directly the mouth of the
sack was closed upon him and his
companions, he cut in half the viper,
which was already incireling his leg,
the cock and the cat were next disp
patched and our Persian occupied the
remainder of his hour by simulating
a violent fight of the animals, and
giving fourth the most excruciating
cries of agony. In due time sack and
all w’ere consigned into the water,
and then Mohammed Mirza, speedi
ly freeing himself from the prison,
gained the other side of the river,
and came post hast to Europe, for
the future a voluntary exile from the
farther-land.
Sheriff Stephens captured a negro
named Dan Wallace who had com
mitted a rape on Miss Daniell, a lit
tle white girl nine years old, in Car
roll county. After his arrest, the
Sheriff of that county w’as notified
and came and carried the scoundrel
back, last Thursday, handcuffed and
tied to a buggy. The negro has a
villainous looking countenance and
is notoriously mean, having commit
ted similar outrages on colored girls.
There is gi'eat feeling against the ne
gro and it is doubtful wdiether the
officers ever reach Carrollton w’ith
him.— Marietta Journal.
