From the Central Georgian we learn the dry
weather has been succeeded by good seasons of
rain with constant showers for a week past. The
planters are busy at work, and the corn and cotton

where the recent rains killed it out entirely, and
planting corn instead.

The Atlanta Constitution of the 14th says, yes
terday evening a negro man, while standing on
the track of the Selma, Rome & Dalton Railroad,
Just below this city, beard the down passenger
train on the Western & Atlantic Railroad coming.
The tracks of the two roads run parallel together
for several miles. The negro, thinking it was a
train on the Selma, Rome & Dalton Railroad,
crossed over to the track ol the Western & At*
laulic R. R„ and walked down the track on an
bankment of ten or twelve feet high. The cow
catcher of the locomotive struck the negro and
threw I'm some ten or twelve feet in the air, and
he lauded on the side ot the embnnkment, where
he lay sometime' apparently dead. The train was
stepped aud two scientific gentlemen from Atlanta
went to his assistance. They succeeded in soon
restoring him to consciousness, and to-day he is
going about as usual. His escape seems to be re
markable, but some assert as the reason that the
only Injury he received was on the head.
Tue Telegraph and Messenger gives the follow
ing dUcription of the parade and pic-nic of the
Knights of Pythias : At noon the Knights, nearly
a hundred in number, assembled at Castle
Hall, when the procession was formed, and took
up the line of march to the park through some of
the principal streets of the city. None of them
backed out on account of the weather, but they
trudged through the mud like “good Knights
aud true.”
There were, perhaps, a hundred ladies, who
braved the inclement weather, and went down to
the Park for the pleasure of their friends and
guests. No one expected to see half thal num
ber there, and no one would have felt disappoint
ed if a score had covered the whole number. But
there they were as lreth and beautiful as though
the sky was clear, the ground dry and the air
aglow with suushine. They showed what Macon
women can and will do when occasioa requires,
and their presence under such adverse circum
stances elevated them to the most exalted appre
ciation in the minus ol all the Macon Knights
and their lriends.
The dinner was superb. Here the Knights
found that they had the right kind of ladies to
assist them. The long tables, stretched from end
to end of Floral Hall, were literally laden with
good things arranged with the most elegant taste.
Alter dinner the crowd again repaired to the
dining hall, when dancing was resumed aud kept
up until alter six o’clock, when all retnrned to
the city. The Knights reformed and marched
back to Castle Hall, when they disbanded until
night, then they re assembled in Lodge, for work
in all the degrees.
Had the weather been good the day would have
been a most delightlnl one. As it was, it waa
pleasant, though the pleasure was obtained un*
der most disadvantageous circumstances.
The procession waa Mtnmandedby D. B. Wood*
rufi, Grand Chancellor of the State.
The Macon Knights were remiss iu nothing that
could contribute to the comlort or pleasure of
tneir guests, and their attentions lasted through
the night snd will accompany the visiting Knights
to the depot this morning.
Governor Smith.
The refusal of Governor Smith to commute the
•entence of Mies Eberhart, who was convicted o!
murder by twelve good and true men, her peet?,
alter an impartial trial, has called down the severe
maledictions and unreserved denunciation of a
large number of the papers of this State, and as
we think, without cause or reason.
It ie true, that the hanging oi Miss Eberhart,
when addressed to mercy and sympathy cr ates
regret of no ordinary character; but when vitwed
from the stand-point of reason, justice, and the
beat and highest interest of society, the action of
the Governor in declining to commute her sen
tence, was right, and the reasons given for hie ac
tion eihonerates him from all censure and blame.
The truth is that James M. Bmi‘h is entitled to
credit for discharging what he conscientiously
conceived to be bis duty. It demonstrates beyond
all question that the faithful execution o! the laws
of the State, the greatest interest of the people at
large, and a thorough appreciation of the solem
nity of his oath, as the chief Executive of Geor
gia, is regarded by him as his first duty.
We would like to know of “ A. H. 8.” of the
Atlanta Sun, who seems to be the most prominent
as well as the moat bitter assailant of the Governor
on tbla question, if he has ever read and studied
the evideuce as given in on the trial of the case ?
How many of those who have been so persistent
in the condemnation of Governor Smith, are fa
miliar with the real facta of the case i Who have
spent sleepless nights, and have had their hearts
wrung with anguish as contending between mer
cy and duty in this case ?
Borne are so bold and heartless as to almost in
ainuate that Governor Smith took a delight in
•eelng Miss Ederhart hung; from such charges
he needs no vindication. It is to be regretted that
persons will undertake to criticise the conduct of
officials who are acting under their oaths, with
out being familiar with the facts and causes, upon
whieh they predicate their actions.
The Press Asboci ation.— 'i he meeting ol the
Press Association at Americus, last week, will
doubtless call forth many articles from those
present which will be long, minute and lively.
We promise our readers that what we shall say
will only be in commendation of the citizens of
Americus for their hospitality on the one hand,
and a public npone of those Bohemian editors who
undertook to initiate the writer hereof, in “ ways
that were dark and 1 ricks that were vain.” Nor
do we propose to German ize this article with
towers, nor write in a tLuudering, dashing Btyle-s.
We shall ignore the rich spices of “ deviled Ham,”
pay no attention to the acts of the talented, hand
some and Enterprise-ing junior editor who hid
himself behind his comrades, stole glances at the
envious beauties, and, finally, slipped oil before
the show was over; nor lose sight of the wit and
pathos of that “ prince of good fellows” the dis
tinguished representative of the Atlanta Consti
tution, who does all his business by “ special con
tract in writing,” And yet we do feel internal
loads of eloquence rise to our thorax as we think
ol the mover of those important resolutions which
are of so much importance to the press of the
country, but we do not feel inclined to follow his
example.
We shall by no means imitate that gallant and
heroic Modoc of the Savannah News, who, com
prehending the solemnity of the occasion, amid
the torturing stillness of the multitude, admitted
that the good one who watched over his conduct
had lost control, and that he felt like a waife upon
the sea, tossed about by every smile and wrecked
by every beauty. Now, gentlemean, we are done
with you, and turn you over to the tender care of
that Bohemian who furnishes “ love ditties” to
the Augusta Constitutionalist.
The ladies ol Americus stand first in beauty,
first in hospitality, and first in the admiration
and respect of the Georgia Press Association,
Messrs. Hancock and Rielly, of the Sumter Re
publican, did all in the power of men to advance
the comfort and pleasure of all who were present.
The resolutions of thanks passed by the conven
tion, embody our sentiments, and will be pub
lished as early as practicable.
Justice 8. P. Chase Dea®.— From dispatches
we learn that Chief Justice Chase, died in New
Tork on the 7th t is death was caused by a stroke
of paralysis, which attacked him at 8 o’clock on the
morning of the 6th. He was totally unconscious
from the moment of the fatal attack until the hour
of death, and he failed to recognize any of his re
lations and friends who were assembled around
his bedside.
The Cheif Justice arrived in New York from Wash
ington on Saturday evening and proceeded te the
houße of Mrs. Hoyt. He was in good health and
spirits and intended visiting Boston after a few
weeks residence in that city and subsequently pro
ceed to Colorado, where he would remain during
the summer for the benefit of his health. He
was perfectly well until Sunday evening, when
he complained slightly and went to bed early.
He slept soundly throughout the night, and just
as he awoke, 8 o’clock in the morniDg, was pros
trated by a paralytic stroke.
Benator Sprague and wife, and Mr. an’ Mrs.
Hoyt were soon at his bedside. Drs. Perry, Met
calf and Clark were called in, and did all that hu
man science could do to relieve the suflerer, but
without avail. Consciousness never returned.
All the evening papers in New York contained
obituaries eulogistic of the integrity, ability and
spotless character of the Chief Justice.
It was expected that the United States Court
would adjourn on the 7th in respect to the memory
of Chief Justice Chase, but as no official notifica
tion of his demise had been received, action was
deferred.
It is rumored around the United States Court
buildings that the name of ex-Judge and ex-Uni
ted States District Attorney, Edward Pierpont,
as the probable nominee of President Grant to
fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Chief
Justice Chase. The flags on the City Hall were
displayed at half mast in respect to the memory
of the Chief Justice.
The Atlanta Constitution of the 15th says :
“ Yesterday afternoon ass the Hibernian Excur
sion train was returning from Iceville to this citv,
there occurred one of the most terrible accidents
it has been our duty to chronicle for many days.
The lacts are briefly as follows: Mr. Richard
Wall, one of the picnic committee, took a position
on the rear platform of the hindermost passenge |
coach as the train was passing the water tank a
Bellwood. This was owing, probably, to its be
ing impossible to secure a seat within the cars.
Mr.'Wall seated himself on the iron railing which
runs around the platform of the car, and put his
feet up against the door. He maintained his po
aitiou until the car was just opposite the water
tank, when, from some cause or other, his hold
gave way, and he fell through. Four freight box
es, fastened behind the train, passed over his body,
killing him instantly. His head was crushed ter
ribly, his breast mashed, and his right arm cut off.
A negro upon the top of the passenger coach from
which Mr. Wall fell, saw by the movement of the
freight box that it had run over something end
signalled to the engineer to stop, which was in
stantly done. Mr. Wall leaves a wife, just now in
very delicate health, and four children, besides a
host of friends, for he was widely known and re
spected in this community. He was connected
with the house of Clayton & Webb.
Mr. A. R. Watson, of the Georgia press, has
recently written a poem entitled “Compensation,”
the first verse of which reads thus: - *
“ I don’t deny that nature made
Avery sorry churl of me,
And wherefore I was made at all,
I never could exactly see.”
If Mr. Watson, who is one of the sprightliest
of Southern poets, one of the purest and best ol
men, and one of the most industrious journalists,
doesn’t quit Blandering himself in that shameful
way, we shall be compelled to hold him person
ally responsible for his conduct. —Courier Journal,
Cast. Latham, the efficient internal Revenue
Collector for the Huntsville District, last week
destroyed seven stills in full blast, seized one, ent
np one hundred and thirty tubs, destroyed 11,700
gallons of beer, and four hundred and sixty gal
lons ot singlings, and arrested two prisoners in
Jackson county, so says the Sun.
Caon in Washington county are good.
Fearful Calamity.
We learn from the Telegraph a:-d Messenger of
tbs Bth that one of tie mo.tleartui accid nta that
tvtr happened in Macon, took place shortly after
one o’clock yesterday afternoon, at the new Mer
cer University building. A squad of nine men
were engaged in nutting up the heavy cor
nice at the west end of the building, when the
scaffolding gave way, precipitating the five men
forty-five feet to the ground, crushing ail ol them
in a most horrible manner. Three of them, all
white, are dead ; one colored man is believed to
be mortally wounded, and another is severely
hurt.
The cause of the accident was an insecure seal
fold upon which the men were working. This
scaffold was erected under the direction of the
foreman, Mr. J. 8. Glober. It was constructed
by running an out-looker, of inch and a half plank,
through each of three windows. These plank
were lasiened inside against the roof, and sup-
ported against the window frames by pieces of
inch plank only. They did not rest upon the win
dow-sills, but were fixed ntar, or at the top oi the
windows, in order to raise the scaffold as nearly '
as possible to the edge of the roof. Thfo delicate
foundation was unsupported by either upright or .
lateral braces, but not upon it; frail as it was,
the plank were laid to complete the scaffold, on
which men were to risk their lives.
On several occasions Mr. Glcber was remon
strated with in regard to the insecurity of this
support, but he iuvariably replied that he knew
what he was about, and was not afraid to risk
himself upon it. Major Fuss, Mr. Pettis and even
Mr. Adams, the Superintendent of the work,
talked to him about the risk he was running, and
on several occasions, but he turned a deaf ear to
all their advice, and obstinately insisted that the
scaffold was secure and he was not afraid to risk
it. lie did ritk it, and yesterday afternoon, as
! the five men were crowded upon one end of it
| lifting a heavy piece of cornice to its position, the
i scaffold gave way. and down came the men in an
awlui catastrophe of human destruction. The
j men were mangled in a most horrible manner.
| Legs, arms and ribs were broken and crushed.
One man had nis neck broken. Ail were cov
ered with severe contusions. Their heads and
fuses were terribly bruised. In short, they were
injured in every conceivable manner in which
men could be injured by so frightful a fall.
The three white men who were on the scaffold
are all dead. The foreman, Mr. J. 8. Glober,
lived about a half an hour. He was a Chicago
man, and left his homo three weeks ago last Mon
day, to take charge of the iron work of the Uni
versity. He had been employed on the work two
weeks. He leave.3 a family.
Mr. A. Rowe expired in about fifteen minutes
after his fall. He was a young man, of about
twenty-five years of age, and unmarried, but was
the support of his mother and sister. He was a
native ol Pennsylvania, and was employed in
Philadelphia, though his home was about a hun
dred miles from that city. In about a year he
would have inherited a considerable amount of
property, which would have made him comforta
ble for life. He was very much attached to his
sister, and only the night before the accident he
spoke veiy feelingly of iier. He said he was not
homesick at all, but atesiredvVery much to see his
sister, who was as dear to him as his eyes. Though
he had been here but a6hort time, he had won the
esteem of those who had made his acquaintance
by bis quiet, gentlemanly ways.
The third ot the killed was Mr. W. E. B. Proc
tor, of this city, who had commenced work ou
the building less than half an hour before the fall.
His body was shockingly mangled, and he begged
pitiously to be taken home. His mother was
aarly on the ground, and a conveyance was ob
tained and he was sent home as he requested.
But lie was fatally hurt, and lingered but a few
hours, and died before night.
The wounded are Benjamin White and Edward
Holt, both colored. The former is believed to be
mortally wounded, though the doctors gay he
may live a day or two. One of his legs is broken
in two places and one arm crushed at the elbow.
The lower part of his chest was also badly
crushed. The other wounded man may recover.,
The only external sign of injury is a broken thigh
and if he has sustained no serious internal inju
ries, in all probability he will recover.
The fall was outside the building into an area.
Two of the bodies rebounded through an opening
in the wall, and some distance into the building.
Ed Holt has since died.
Bullock’s Fraud#. —The Atlanta Sun says:
On the 28th, we are informed, Colonel J. B. Camp
bell in overhauling some trumpery packed away
in the Executive office, discovered a box which
contained a considerable amount of coupons or
State bonds, which had been paid, no doubt, by
Bullock when he wasGoverner. As the coupons
were not cancelled, and had never been entered
paid upon the books of the State Treasurer, any
person finding them could of course have de
manded payment of them from the Treasurer.
A gentleman was handed about twenty of the
coupons to take to Treasurer John Jones to as
certain if he would pay them. The Treasurer un
suspectingly examined them, and finding that they
had never been paid from the Treasury announced
his readiness to pay them. He was then informed
by the gentlemen presenting them the circum
stances by which he came iu possession of them.
These coupons are supposed to have been in the
hands of Clews or some of his confederates, and
paid by Bullock. There is no telling how many
he thus paid, nor how many were paid a second
time by being takeu from Bullock’s office to the
Treasury, for as thsy bore no marks of having
been paid, of course the State Treasurer could
not know that the State’s money Lad already been
once paid for them by Bullock, from the funds he
had kept from the Treasury.
What is the amount of the coupons found by
Mr. Campbell we are not informed, but learn it is
considerable.
Small Men. —The Savannah Advertiser has the
following sensible remarks upon the degeneracy
of the times, so far as the same is applicable to
small men iu high places :
The decade which marked its beginning with
the commencement of the late civil strife, will
i stand out in history for all coming time as the
| age of small men. Never before since the world
began, in any government under the san, have so
many little men, little in character, learning, ex
perience and ability, been foisted into places of
the highest honor and responsibility.
Upon army rolls men are mustered as generals
who are unfit to be corporals. Fellows fit only
for bailiffs are clothed with the judicial ermine.
In the public councils intellectual giants encoun
ter in debate no more; bnt in their places sit a
pitiful array of demagogues, who scramble and
snarl over the plunder wrung by the tax gatherer
from the’people.
The worst featuie of this peculiar species of
demoralization which has come in the long train
of onr other troubles, is that the people them
selves are becoming familiarized with it. They
are rapidly being taught to believe, if they have
not already reached that point, that the noisy,
brassy upstarts who afflict the popular ear are of
pure geld. When Horace Greeley died an effort
was made to fill his place with Colfax. Happily
the sacrilegioas farce was prevented. *
The fraud that had been forced into the second
highest office of the government could not get
into the guild of letters.
Bnt the small fry have rallied from this one de
feat and are on their legs again. Now they pro
pose to put the popinjay; Roscoe Conkiing, into
the robes of the dead Chief Justice Chase. Let
U3 have an earthquake.
San Francisco, May 14. —Dispatches from the
lava beds represent great activity, bnt so far with
out result. The soldiers are greatly harrassed by
rattle snakes and scorpions, upon which Captain
Jack and his braves feed.
An Omaha paper, without intending to be per
sonal, insinnates that if the Omaha postmaster
would resign, “many would feel less anxious about
their money letters.”
Before bustles came into fashion there waa a
chance for newspapers to display enterprise, bat
now all of them are behind in their make up.
liilercMting to Southern Claimant*.
Tde Savannah News says : “We tied in several
of our exchanges the salient features of a case
now peßding before the Court of Claims at Wash
ington, whieh is very interesting to Southern
claimants. The acts of Congress of March the
3J and 12th, 1863, required proof of loyalty of the
claimant, and that the filing of claims should be
made within two years irom the date of peace.
The Supreme Court decided that under the am
nesty proclamation of Andrew Johnson of De
cember 24th, 186S, the disloyalty of the claimant,
and that the filing of claims should be made with
in two years from the date of peace. The Su
preme Court decided that under the amnesty proc*
lamation of Andrew Johnson ot December 24th,
1868, the disloyalty of the claimant did not bar
the right 1 o file a claim. In the case of Elmira J.
Kelley, of Mississippi, vs. the United States, it
was argued on the sth, inst. by ex-Chief Justice
Casey, that the limitation expired on the 20th of j
August, 1566 and that up to that period and un- ;
til the 25th of December, 1868, the claimant had
neither the right to the proceeds of the sale of
cotton by the Government nor the legal capacity
to 6ue for them in the Court of Claims, but that
now this claim has accrued and become cognisa
ble by the Court of Claims by virtue of the proc- ;
lamation of Amnesty of December 25, 1868, and
that at thi3time the limitation of the act of March
12,1863, had spent its force and is not in any
sense applicable to this case. Additional stress
was laid upon the point that the claim was not
! cognisable by the Court of Claims because there
was no legal capacity in the claimant to sue until
! after the general amnesty proclamation, but that
’ the capacity to sueand the claimant's right to
have possession covered into the
Treasury accrued after the date of that proclama
tion. The Court took the case under advisement
and the decision will be awaited with interest, as
it involves the property of hundreds of persona
living in the South.”
SPECIAL NOTICES.
Medical Blunders. — From the period when
surgeons applied their salves to weapons instead
of wounds to the present wide-awake age, the
medical profession has often unwittingly taken
side with Disease in its conflicts with the human
system. Even yet, in spite of the teachings of
centuries of experience, some physicians believe
in depleting their patients, already seriously ex
hausted by sickness, with powerful evacuants,
emetics, salivants, cautharidal plasters, or the
lancet. But providentially, public intelligence is
ahead of these medical fossils, who belong, of
right, to the era of the Crusades ! That powerful
ally of nature in it 6 warfare with the causes of
sickness, Ilostetter’s Stomach Bitters, has opened
the eyes of the masses to the paramount impor
tance of increasing the vital strength of the body
when menaced by disease. They understand that
when the atmospheric conditions are averse to
health, it is wise to reinforce the system with a
wholsome tonic and stimulant, and thus enable
it to combat and repel the depressing influence of
inclement temperature. If the constitutional and
animal powers were always thus recruited in the
presence of danger, the mortality from consump
tion, bronchitis, chronic rheumatism, etc., would
be much less tfian it now is. The causes which
produce croups, colds, quinsey, diptheria and ca
tarrh, seldom affect a &trong and vital system ; and
of all vitalizing preparations, Hostetter’s Bitters
has proved the most efficient. It is not claimed
that this standard tonic is a specific for lung and
throat maladies, as it is for dyspepsia, liver com
plaint and intermittents, but it is unhesitatingly
asserted that it is the best known safeguard
against all the atmospheric elements of disease.

Beyond the Mississippi. —Thousands have
already gone, and thousands more are turning
their eyes toward new homes ia the fertile West.
To those going to Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska,
Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Nevada, Oregon or

direct route, via St. Louis, over the Missouri Pa
cific Railroad, which runs its fine Day Coaches
and Pullman Sleepers from St. Louis to principal
points in the West, without change. We believe
that the Miisouri Facific Railroad has the best
track and the finegs and safest equipment of any
road west of the Mississippi, and its connections
with roads further llVest are prompt and reliable.
The Texas connect?<oa of this road is now com
pleted, and passengers are offered a first class all
