We copy this column of items without paying much attention to credit. We are [ffiicted with the same complaint of Col. 0., of the Atlanta Constitution, viz : “Ob, my brain— my head is so weary.” 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 is in line growing condition. The Cuthbeit Appeal says: We are informed that several planters in the county are plowing up their cotton where hud stands only were had, and where the recent rains killed it out entirely, and planting corn instead. The Georgia Railroad Convention assembled in Augusta on Wednesday. The reading of the re poits showed that the gross receipts for the past jeur were $1,623,450 58; expenses, $1,133,260 75, showing the net profits to be $490,195 78. Edwin Bei chek has at last been commissioned Postmaster at Macon, it has been a long and ar duous eoi flict; but it is finally decided, and against the w ishes of a majority af both the white and colored people of that city. So says the Tel egraph. The Atlanta Sun says: We wero shown on yesterday, by C. W, Wells, a remarkable freak in nature. A chicken nearly half grown with only one wing. Mr. Wells tells us that the chicken was batched so and has shown as much thrift as auy of Its brood. The Marietta Journal says; From North Geor gia on the railroad line as far as Chattanooga, it is raid that the fruit eiop is almost entirely de stroyed, the wheat much Injured and nnpromistng and cotton as very uulikely to prove remunera tive, owing to the floods and cold. ■' !■ The Hnrucsville Gttfette says, we learn that the return of the recent cool mornings caused the your.g cotton to look very “ ’possum-eared," but the warm days wo are having now are causing it to come out ol the kinks. Corn is looking well aud growing rapidly. Several of our farmer lriends have commenced chopping cotton. Thion Factory is in Chattooga county, and it in a prosperous condition. It has 230 looms in operation, making 11,000 yards cf cloth daily,con sisting of No. 1 domestic, No. 2 for sacks and coarser work, and a splendid line of twilled goods. Over three hundred operatives are employed,man ufacturiug six hundred pounds of the best cotton rope daily, as well as a large amount of thread, knitting balls and other products. 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. .a. 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 California, we recommend a cheap, safe, quick and 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 rail route to Texas, Wittier over the Missouri, Kan sas and Texas R.
