There is some light in Louisiana. The At torney-General of that State has filed inform ation "before the grand jury against the Audit or, the State Treasurer, Secretary of State and Speaker of the House of Representatives, as well as against a State Senator, for misde meanor in office, and for an illegal disposition of the public funds. “When rogues tall out, etc.” A man died in the Ohio penitentiary last week, who had been there thirty-eight years, lie was sentenced for life, for murder; a sen tence which was literally carried out. A negro man constantly rotated, or turned around', in a standing position, on the head of a whisky barrel for twenty-hours, in Detroit, last week. He was constantly watched by sentinels, who were changed every five or six hours. They report that the darkey never ceased rotating during the entire twenty-four hours. What the negro gained by it we could not understand, as no bet waspending, and the room in which the feat was performed was kept locked, to keep out a crowd. He says he believes lie could have kept up his rotations twelve hours longer. He bad neither food nor drink during this performance. The great firm of Duncan, Sherman & Cos., of New fork, has suspended. They have made an assignment. Reedier lias contracted to deliver fourteen lectures at various points in the West. There arc over 450 guests at New Holland Springs. Col. Nicholls is in clover. People are talking about $50,000 and $200,000 suits for damages, against the city of Atlanta, because of the establishment of a reservoir for the water works. Lucius Quintius Factius Lamar has been renominated to till the position of Congressman from Alissisippi. There were Itoo persons present at the Convention which nominated him. The population of New Oilcans is thought to be 205,000. Our neighboring city Calhoun voted last Saturday on tlie local option law. The vote stood For Restriction S6'r Against Restriction 124. Majority—3B. The High Court of Parliament of England which lias existed since the year 871, has closed its doors, forever. An incombustible paper has been invented in France. The count of the money in the U. S Treasury lias been completed. Air. New expresses liim >elt very freely in regard to tlie loose manner in which business lias been conducted by Air. Spinnei:, and wonders that more money was not taken or stolen. There were $200,000 worth of naval stores, real and personal estate, burned up in the late Charleston lire. A man in Middleton, Del., is building an im mense refrigerator in which be is going to keep 200,000 bushels of peaches in a frozen state un til next winter. A husband in Indiana whose wife was injur ed beyond surgical aid in delivery of a child, by a prominent physician, shot the doctor dead and lett the country. Gov. Smith, of this State, lias returned from New York, lie lias a man examining the books of 11. Clews. It looks as if the Judge who sen tenced Win. M. Tweed and the jail ers who have detained him are more like to run away than the Boss him. self, since Charles O’Conor has decid ed that those officials are liable in law if Tweed’s discharge from the penitentiary was right. Mrs. Lincoln’s mental condition is unchanged, and the Superintendent of the Batava, 111., institution where she is, does not regard the prospect of her recovery as very encouraging. Her son Itobert visits her weekly, and every possible provision is made for her comfort. one wishes to note the rowdyism running riot in the city, let him walk along any of the principal through fares in the evening and wit ness tlie scandalous impudence of loafers and the brazen exhibition of the depraved.” Marriage at the revolver’s mouth is not valid. So the N ew York Su preme C ourt decides in the case of a Livingston county man who was lorced by another to go with him to Avar am j marry a girl against his '" ill. Judge E. Darwin Smith grant ed a decree declaring tlie marriage null and void, giving both parties privilege to marry again. The veteran editor, Jtichardson, of the Galveston News is dead. Ife was the founder of that excellent journal, and was probably, one of the most enterprising men of that State. Mr. Itichardson is set down at sixty-five years old by the press. When we first became acquainted with him— eighteen years ago—he had the ap pearance of a man sixty or sixty-one years old. He must have been at least seventy-five. The testimony given by Bishop Smith, one of the prisoners of the Mountain Meadow massacre case,has turned State’s evidence. His relation oi the aftair is one of the most heart rending we have ever read. If old Brigham and his destroying angels are not hung after this exposure,there is no justice in the land. There were over one hundred of these innocent people slaughtered in cokl blood,sim ply because they preferred to leave Salt Lake City and not live among those devils, the Mormons! Some fiend placed a pine poleaeross the track of the Air Line Boad Irom Richmond, Ya., to Atlanta, about a mile and a half from Central, in South Carolina. The train was thrown from the track, but, fortun ately, no one was hurt. The train was running at the rate of thirty-five miles per hour,to make up lost time. The tender was smashed up pretty badly, but no other car was much hurt. No cause is known for this, but it is thought the villain is known. General Longstrcet called on Sec retary Bristow on Thursday, having been charged by some of the South ern journals with having lost to the Confederate cause the battle of Gettys burg, Penn. The object of his call on Mr. Bristow was to obtain permis sion to have access to the archives of the rebellion, in order to enable him, by means of certain transcripts there from to refute the charge. The de 'UX'd permission was granted. Gen. Longstreet may not have lost ‘ ‘ H ‘ bt * ule of Gettysburg, but his loss of well earned reputation since the war has been a source of deep sorrow to his friends. THE MOUNTAIN MEADOW MASSACRE. A bill passed by Congress in 1872. which was introduced by Judge Po land, had for its object to bring to justice the prepetrators, who are believed to be Mormons, of the hor rible massacre of tlie emigrants at Mountain Meadow, seventeen years ago. The feeling among the so-call ed Gentiles of Utah, is said to be as determined in regard to the punish ing of the offenders as it was in July, 1872. All but one of the alleged murderers are still living, and foi two years those engaged in seeking to bring the offenders to justice have been working to get together the necessary proof and to secure the ar rest of the officers of the murderers. A few days ago two of Brigham Young’s chief officers, who were in dicted last October, were arraigned for this great crime. It is stated by a contempoary that one of the wit nesses who is to appear, is a woman, who at the time of the massacre was thirteen years of age. For some rea son not explained, the murderers spared seventeen children after murdering seventy-six women and children and fifty-five unarmed men and boys, and one of this number (and it is not yet known how many more)will be called, and will tell the fearful story over again. The Mor mons at the time and always since have protested that the massacre was the work of the Indians, but the falsity of the statement has been made clear, not alone by the confes sion of the murderers who took part in it, but by the facts found out in re lation in the council of war held in Salt Lake previous to the massacre, and as well by the proof given in the discovery of the motive which act uated the dastardly deed. The real cause of the bloody crime seems to have been a desire for vengeance. A Mormon elder, and a “prophet of the Mormon Church,” who had, while preaching in Arkansas, eloped with the wife of a farmer there, and who, returning to abduct the two children of the disgraced mother, was murdered by the people, is said to have been the real origin of the desire for vengeance which Brigham Young gratified by murdering tills unoffending band of men, women and children. The fall of Waddy Thompson has been probably the greatest that has ever taken place. He was not from poverty compelled to adopt the means which he pursued for money making, but it seems, from the very love of guilt,he has gone from step to step, until his overthrow is no doubt final. It is charged against him that he is mixed up in the burn ing of a vessel near New Orleans, said to have been loaded with cotton, but really with moss and cotton seed. He attempted to get the in surance money on this vessel, but his attempt was successfully resisted. The case for which he is now arrested is for plain stealing—he having spir ited away one night in October last, ried across the river into Arkansas; the real owner pursued and brought them and Thompson back. He tried to get free under the writ of habeas corpus, but failed, and now lies in jail at Memphis, Tenn., awaiting tri al for horse stealing, attempting to commit larceny, and for perjury. \\ addy will find this a tight place before he gets out of it. Cost of Carelessness.— The wid ow and children of a nassenger named Kruger, lost with the steamship At lantic, have recovered thenty-five thousand dollars damages from the White Star Company by a suit before the Court of Queen’s Bench,London. The Company admitted the fault of the Captain, and tlie question at issue was solely one of the amount of dam ages. The Philadelphia Ledger per tinently remarks that if each life lost by the Atlantic were rated as that of Kruger, who had an income from his business of ten thousand dollars per annum, the steamship company would be liable for $14,050,000 dam ages, but a lower estimate of damages granted to the surviving relatives of each passenger would amount to two or three millions of dollars. The collection of damages by the millions ol dollars from steamship companies whose agents neglect the precaution necessary for tlie safety of their pas sengers, might prove a better protec tion from the dangers of shipwreck than light houses,fog-horns or patent life-preservers. Protect your Paper Money from the Rats. —A Rome barroom in 1873, had suffered a loss from time to time ot various amounts of money greenbacks—and failed to find any channel by which the sums had gone. They closed up business, broke, al though they had seemed to thrive. They packed up their traps and stored them away, after selling off their stock at wholesale. Last week, when a party was fitting up the house occupied by the bar in 1873, for a tel egraph office, he had occasion to make some alteration in the counter, which was the one used by the first parties, when he discovered a largo pile of fragments of greenbacks—bills of various amounts from five to fifty dollars, having been made into rats’ nests. These rats verified the saying that no ultimate profit is ever made nor benefit received from money made by selling liquor. It is proposed at Washington, in order to prevent the smuggling of valuable laces through the mail, to make all post masters ex officio custom officers, with the power to open suspicious packages and confiscate their contents, if they be found contraband. But if there is one thing which the Ameri can people are determined to main tain it is the inviolability of the mails. The proposition is mon strously Radical. MULTUM IN PARVO.

He drove his wagon into the river and the bed floated off. The man and his wife were saved The Mountain Meadow Massacre is being thoroughly examined. We believe it will result in proving Brig ham Young the instigator. Will he be hung, as he ought to be? The editor of the Pittsburg Iron World , who has been traveling in the South, lias come to the conclusion that the South is the home of cheap iron, and that Southern pig can un dersell that made in other States of the Union. He says : “Most per sons in the Northern States, who have never seen these figures giving the cost of iron-making in the South doubt, the statements, but we be lieve, after a somewhat exhaustive examination of the subject, that in either ot thothree States—Tennessee, Georgia, or Alabama—pig-iron can be made from six to nine dollars cheaper than in the most favored lo calities of the more of the prominent iron-producing States.” + Experiments are making in I ranee to test the efficiency of loco motive engines. It is thus describ ed: “This engine has no wheels, but what may be called legs. It does not roll: It walks, runs, or gallops. It is like an ordinary engine with straight rods terminating broad circular stakes. There are three legs in front and three behind. The moving cylinders, instead of turning wheels, raise the ifeet. The inven tion is especially adapted for carry ing great weights up an incline. One model which is now at work on the French railway, weights ten tons, and goes four or five miles every hour, but can accomplish, if desired, eleven or twelve miles.” No Norwegian girl is allowed to have a beau until she can bake bread and knit stockigns; and, as a conse quence, every girl can bake bread and knit long before she can read and write. No Money for the Centenni al.—The Baltimore Gazette is getting discouraged with the prospect of the Philadelphia show. The editor says: “We speak of the centennial anniver sary of the Declaration of Indepen dence as a great event. The action, or rather the non-action, of the States, with respect to it, shows that they look upon its formal observance with indifference. Their contributions in aid of it have been very few; in most instances they contributed noth ing at all. Instead of regarding it as of national interest, they are disposed to look upon it only as a local affair. Some stand aloof, believing the expo sition predestined to he a failure; scarcely any welcome it so heartily as to be willing to appropriate money toward making it an assured success. The South is poor and cannot help; the West is rich and populous and will not. They send commissioners to represent them ; they will send for exhibition the products of the field, the forest, the work-shop and the fac tory ; but to give money, no! ” It is not so much the poverty (al though there is a great deal in that) of the South that prevents it from taking hold of this matter, as it is the “squelching” out of the fourth of July from its feelings. No doubt considerable money could bo raised in the Southern States, to help this Yankee show, if the old Revolution ary feeling could be aroused in them; but we often think, when this mat ter comes to our mind, of the remark made by Governor Peters, of the State of Mississippi, when in Boston about six months before the late war. He was asked : “In the event of a war between the sections, what will you Southern people do with your in terest in the Bunker Hill Monument and the fourth of July ?” He replied: “We’ll sell our interest in the Monu ment and make another fourth of July.” We must admit that we have a desire to go to Philadelphia to see the big show, but we can’t get up an> “camp-meeting feelings” over it. Fifteen years ago we would have been willing to spend our bot tom dollar in such a cause; but we have sorter had those feelings squelch ed out of us by his aecidency “Useless G.” and his party. A case of “foul play,” though not altogether with tragic features which enter into Charles Reade’s story, has come to light on the Pacific coast. The Captain and Mate of the bark Union have been arrested on the charge of wrecking the vessel to ob tain tlie insurance money, and the evidence seems to be conclusive against them. They conspired to gether to put her on the rocks; at the second attempt were successful in sinking her. Their plottings were overheard by the cook, who has giv en his testimony against them, and one of the prisoners has made a full confession. The penalty for this crime is death, and the case is the first that has occrured in America for many years. Mansfield, the partner and tool of the notorious scoundrel Ben. Butler, in New Orleans, was arrested in that city for the same crime—betrayed by his mate—not a great while ago. lie was taken prisoner and confined in the Jailor’s parlor ; a mob went to the jail and demanded that he should k*. i•-.sk, vr ivfiUW not, but presume, as Mansfield had control of great wealth and was a friend of But ler’s, the matter was squashed. He caused the wreck of a lumber ship among the islands off the Mississip pi river, the insurance of which was one hundred thousand dollars. He got the money. When last we saw him, he was on board a steamer going to one of his fine sugar plantations on the Mississippi river. On board the steamer was a splendid yacht,be longing to his lordship, in which he expected to return to the city of New Orleans when he got through with his business on the plantation. He cut a wideswarth in' Louisiana on stolen money —a la Ben. Butler, his devoted friend and master. Sound Talk from a Republi can Senator.— ln a recent visit to Washington, Senator Robertson, a Republican Senator from South Car olina, and a native, talked very free ly about the present reform move ment in his State. He acknowledged that the picture of South Carolina as given by the independent press of the country, had been none too highly colored, and added: “Nearly all that outsiders know about dissension, fraud and corrup tion is true, and if it appears bad to those who know so little, how must it look to us, who are behind the scene striving for a good government? I tell you, sir, we must get rid of the earpet-bag influence. It is baneful, it is vicious, and there can be no true reform until it is driven out. The colored voter has learned t<> estimate the true value of the carpet-bagger, and he cannot be used as a mere" po litical machine in the future as he has been in the past. Give us a good government, and they are the best la borers we can have; and when we do get a good government they will, like all other laboring classes, vote generally with their employers, whether these belong to one or othe of the political parties into which the State may be divided. Being prop erty-holders and tax-payers, a good government, economically adminis tered, is as important to one as to the other. Few persons at the North under stand the immense value to the South of the Republican defeats of last fall. An ex-Governor of Alabama \\ rites to the Nashville Union : “Had the Radical majority in Con gress allowed us to go on and attend to our various business interests in peace just at the close of the war, we would at this time possess the wealth iest section of country in the world, and less than ten years hence o f peace will prove the assertion. The strength of the South lies principally in its products, and with good sea sons we can supply the world. Since the victories of last fall people from every section of the United States are looking to this sunny land for the certain reward which awaits their efforts, and they are beginning to come in greater numbers than ever before. The prospects for large crops of every description are splendid.” The first female lawyer admitted to the bar of Ohio has proved a dis mal legal fa lure. The baby is doing weil, however, and if the clients can wait, their cases may possible come around all right. ‘ 1 Take away the petty Federal “or ganizers,” says Charlie Nordhoff in' his last letter to the New York Her ald, and the negro left face to face with the white man, no longer marched up in column to the central poll of the country, but voting in his j proper precinct; argued with, hear ing both sides for the first time; knowing by experience, as he pres ently will, that the Democratic is not a monster, and that a Democrat ic victory does not mean his re-en slavement will lose much of his interest in elections. “They won’t vote unless they have white organi zers,” twas the universal testimony of the Republican managers when ever Mr. Nordhoff went in the South. There seems to be a great hue and cry about Dr. Tucker and the Chan cellorship of the State University. Some of the papers speak of the Doc tor as unqualified, because ofhisfree use of expletives when addressing classes, and urge this as a reason why he should not be re-elected. Others again urge his election, because may be he has found out the deficiencies of his pupils, and is not afraid to tell thenl of them. An ovation to the Saint of Ply mouth. A committee has been ap pointed to make arrangements for a reception to the adulterer and per jurer, Henry Ward Beecher, on his return to Brooklyn in September. The committee is composed of the following persons: B. E. Hale, A. W. Tenny, R. M. Pettengill, J. D. Ilafft, and Rev. Messrs Everest, Davis and Conant, whose names will go down to posterity, coupled with the infamy of the most revol ting scandal of the age. While hon ors and fortune are being lavished on Beecher, no public sympathy is manifested for his hopeless victim. THE NEXT GOVERNORSHIP. [From the North Georgia Herald.] Mks.su.-j Editors: -As an apology for the present article, 1 would remark that the press of the state have opened, with some vigor, the discussion of the question : “Shall Gcv. Smith be his own successor, or shall someone else be ; and if some one else, who?” Thus the “people” are tacitly invited to express their views and preferences upon the sub ject. This discussion is by some con sidered premature. Not so, how ever. It shows that the question is to be thoroughly discussed, and de cided understand ingly. It may be questionable whether Gov. Smith desires a re-election. I know of no authentic declaration by himself or friends, upon the subject and therefore have nothing to say in reference to him. Ex-Governor Jenkins wisely declined the proffer ed honor, leaving the matter just where it was before his name was suggested. Many names have been suggested; and there is no doubt but each section of the state can boast one or more men, eminently qualifi ed for the position. Prominent among these stand Gen. L. J. Gar trell, of Atlanta; and as northeast Georgia presents no claimant for this honor,and without wishing to dis parage the claims or merits of others. oagmh- vn Nxeu: uartrell should be considered in making the selection of a candidate, and why ho would be fully acceptable and would re ceive the united support of the de mocracy of northeast Georgia. Gen. Gartrell is well known to onr peo ple and his record is satisfactory. He is now in the maturity of his in- tellectual power, and is admitted by all the peer of any. He is law yer, at the head of his profession, he has that thorough knowledge of the laws so necessary and indispensable to every one who is called to execute them. His sterling honesty is prov erbial. Having been for many years a member of congress, his experience in public affairs is extensive. Hav ing served in various positions du ring the late war, his record on the anomolous questions that interest the southern people is peculiarly gratifying. Xo Georgian can fear that the honor or interests of Georgia will be sacrificed or betrayed if con fided to his keeping. A strict econo mist in his private affairs, he will carry into the administration of the state affairs, the same strict econo my, and require the most rigid ac countability from all public servants. Xo rings or combinations need be feared if he is at the head of affairs. Every man and every measure must stand or fall, before him, on merit alone. 1 think I express the feelings of a large portion of the people of north east Georgia when 1 say that Gen. Gar troll is their choice among the aspirants for governor. “Yonaii” Habersham county, July 10,1875. The champion falsehood of the season appears in the Chicago Inter- Ocean. Its falsity is only equalled by its ridiculousness. Xo paper, not even the Kitchen Organ of Washing ton city, can hope to rival the Inter- Ocean in this line. We give the blue ribbon whopper entire: The Democratic Central Commit tee of Georgia has issued a circular to the legal profession of tnc State, calling upon them to use their influ ence, separately and together in be half of the Democracy and Democrat ic amendments to the State consti tution. Among other things, it tells the lawyers that they must write the political editorials in the Georgia newspapers, and make as many speeches to the people as they possi bly can. The circular, aside from its implied statement that the lawyers own the newspapers, and the Demo cratic party owns the lawyers, is an extraordinary report from the stink ing end of the party whipcord and a curious piece of political literature. The Government has purchased, at New Orleans, the steamer Planter, a small boat, drawing four feet of water, but strongly constructed. She will be properly armed and manned and sent to the Rio Grande for duty on that river, to prevent the Mexi cans from crossing into Texas and runing off the cattle. The Planter has been ordered to Mobile and Lieu tenant-Commodore I). C.lvellog is de tached from the iron-clad Canonicus and sent to that city to take com mand of the new vessel. It is said that one or two steamers of a similar character will be purchased and fit ted out, to act with the Planter in suppression of Mexican depreda tions. The distilery of H. T. Jasper, Cov ington, Ivy., was destroyed by fire together with three or four hundred barrels of whisky and two hundred barrels of malt. Loss fifty thousand dollars; insured in Cincinnati Com panies for 125,000. Bite of tiie Rattlesnake.—A post office agent traveling in Texas tells of tiie successful use of the gall of a rattlesnake as an antedote for the bite of that reptile. In the case spoken of relief was almost instanta neous to the patient,whowas writhing in paroxisms of great pain, rapidly swelling and becoming purple. A friend of the writer, who spent sever al years in California and Mexico, saw the same remedy successfully used among the Indians in the latter country. In one instance, an Indian’s dog near the camp,was bitten in the nose by a large rattlesnake. The In dians immediately opened the reptile and administered the gall. The cure was rapid and effectual.— St. Aligns iine (Fa.)Press. A Petrified Patriot. —Mazzini was refused Christian burial, but a physician begged the privilege of preserving the body by a process of petrifaction of his own invention. He was allowed to experiment, and the result is that the body now reposes on a pedestal, clad in a dark dressing gown with scarlet bindings, black pataloons, kid slippers, black kid gloves with the fingers cut off like mits. The flesh is of a bluish gray color, and is as hard as a brick bat. He reposes in the little temple without aCampoSanto, Genoa,while near at hand, just over the wall, the ashes of his mother are mingled with consecrated earth. The eyes of this stone body are wide open, the hair and moustache very life-like. A fishing smack master recently captured off Mourtauk Point a mon strous animal resembling a turtle, which lie has brought into the har bor of New .London, Conn. It is sev en feet long and ten feet through. Unlike the ordinary turtle, this ani mal has no feet,but large fins project ing on each side,which measure eight feet six inches across. It appears to be a variety of turtle well known in the Mediterranean, and is called the leathery or trunk turtle. At a school examination in Con necticut the other day a girl of six teen stepped forward and began to read her “composition.” It was head ed “The Beecher Trial,” and she was going on to say“ Adam and Eve partook of I lie forbidden fruit—” when the lady principal rushed for ward and led (lie astonished pupil to a seat thus depriving the world of what no doubt would have been a valuable addition to the scandal lit erature. Montgomery, July 22. —The Alabama State Journal, the only Re publican daily in the Slate, will ap pear to-morrow under the proprie torship of Thos. C. Bingham (four years the business manager) andJno. Bard. Sam Bard will be chief editor and N. B. Cloudagricußural editor. It is rumored that the paper under the new regime will advocate the third term. Sam Bard will also edit the Daily Advance, soon to he estab lished in Atlanta. Another attempt has been made to destroy Foleys statue of Prince Albert in Dublin. Two men were arrested at midnight while preparing to injure it. They had covered it with a canvasshroud saturated with para fine oil, which was to be set on fire and were in the act of forcing a tin can down upon the head of the statue which had painted on it in large red letters: “No residence for Royal Princes.” have peculiar ideas of surf bathing. They put on the most elaborate cos tumes and then run down to the breakers in high glee. A little foam is allowed to wet their pretty feet, whereupon they all scream and run hack to the bathing house and pul their hotel finery on again. Then when they come out they say the ba thing was “perfectly splendid.” We were much shocked] yesterday to hear that Mr. Tippin had been killed the day previous, being struck by lightning. Mr. Tippin lived on Mr. Roily Whitehead’s place, in the county of Polk. He was out in the field at work at the time the light ning struck him. He was instantly killed. —Rome Commercial. They have a heart in the Georgia medical college that was taken from a man who tried to commit suicide. He stabbed himself with a knife, and the point scratched his heart. He lived for thirty days, and might have recovered, if he had not got drunk, and the next morning he was dead. In Mississppi the Democrats are very confident of carrying the State at the next election. Ames will have to step down and out, as his father-in-law, Benjamin F. Butler, has done in Massachusetts.
