-Louii sville, Gra:
FRIDAY, OOTOBEH 6, 1871.
Our summary of news as gathered
from Exchanges of the past few days, is
ot a varied and unusually interesting
nature.
In the .matter of Suicides we notice a
falling off. owing perhaps to their hav
ing become so disgustingly common, that
they have ceased to create their wonted
sensationalism; or probably it may be
the Press has determined to try what
virtue there is in taking no notice of
them whatever. We have long thought
silent indifference the best treatment for
the disease.
Murders, assaults, riots, robberies and
embezzlements are in no wise diminish
ing. The Gen. James A. Clan
ton of Montgomery, Ala;, in Kr.oxvillc,
Tenn., only a few days since, by one
Col. D. M. Nelson, son of Judge Nelson
of the Supremo Bench of Tennessee, ex
cites the profoundest dismay because of
its utter causelessness and apparent wan
touncss, of any and nil homicides within
our kuowledgo. Wo say nothing about
Geu. Clanton’s character —it is known
and appreciated far and wide—we at
tempt no estimate of the loss which the
South has sustained—nothing of what
our sister Alabama in particular will ex
perience and iiud it difficult if ever to
recover; but wo cannot refrain from ex
pressing otir apprehensions for the in
creasing insecurity to which human life
of any rank or value—young or aged—
public or privato, is being exposed, from
one end of onr country to the other. Is
a man noble, generous, talented,useful —
perhaps engaged in the service of bp
State, and sharing the unlimited confi
dence of all classes, for bis energy, abil
ity and integrity ?—ho is but a shining'
mark for envy or disappointed mediocris
ty- --forfeited social position, or cancelled
reputation through inebriety or other
dissipations—to signalize the indulgence
of low ambitions or tljc most morbid im
pulses cf corroding guilt! Has probity,
industry and diligence secured compe
tency, ease and independence against
the shifts or accidents of fortune or the
declining days of.one’s life 1 he is but as
a prize for tho highwayman or midnight
robber to fleece, and 'may bo murder
too! Again we ask, when or bow and
where shall crime receive its first, most
certain nnd unyielding arrest ?
Tho shameless management—the gi
gantic as well as petty frauds—the thefts
and misappropriations of the public
money by the officers aud agents from
the Governor and Superintendent of the
State’s Railroad, down to the Clerk’s
and, who knows but the brakemeu and
swhitchmiuders themselves—are grow
ing great and wondrously huge, tho more
the rascals are choked and made dis
gorge their stealings or reveal tbeir ac
complices. The whole may never be
known, but to the next Legislature be
longs a duly that justice aud honesty de
mands shall not be done by halves.
There are men who will sit again in that
body, and men who will ‘bang aronnd
loose,’ seeking as they onco possessed,
clerkships aud agencies—mere nominal
sinecures and the like —that should also
be compelled by suit or attachment, to
refund what they overdrew or had paid
to them out of the Treasury, and to which
they had no more real or lona fide claim
than so many lobby members—or ball
tne distinguished'(!) visitors who were
invited to seats upon the floors of either
house. In view of all which, wc rejoice
that there will be mombors also who
were in the 'minority then, that will be
t’other side, and Jwho can take up the
‘ends’ of the business as they were cause
lessly or purposely dropped, and connect
them together to expose and verify ma
ny of the acts L os those Three-Sessions
which honesty never approved and vil
lainy carried with a high band.
The States of New York and Klassa
ebusetts have just closod tbeir Radical
■Conventions for the nomination of can
didates for State offices; in both of which
tho most tumultuous and disorderly ex
citement prevailed that bespoke them
anything but bodies of the self-same
political party, convened, as any ono
might have thought, in tho spirit of
brotherly harmony and to preserve alike
the union of their organizations aud the
great interests of their States. In the
first named State, there were as many as
three separate •and conflicting sets of
Delegates: Conklingitcs, Feutoaites and
Chappaquaquans. At one time, the po
lice bad to be summoned, and placed up
on the stand to preserve order. There
were no very important political nom
inations to be made, only a few minor
officeis, such as Canal Commissioner,
Sea., that created no contest of any
consequence —but'tbe side issues kicked
up the very d—l, particularly the in-
dorsement of Grant’s administration—
the bobby of the Conklingites—bnt the
■bridge over which thp Feutouites and
Cheppa quaqnans con R| n’t be led jven j
blindfold ! The last .of these fiuallyprhh
drew in disgust, and formed onath#hq#y,
Altogether, the scene was a rich due,
and may be set down as the entering
wedge to untold and unknown results!
In Massachusetts the display was
equally riotous and every thing resem
bled a mob, without any actual necessi
ty for the Police. There was excuse
for commotion and uproar ! The ‘Boast’
was lose, and wild with excitement at
the prospect of defeat, the bare thought
of which, hurt him as much as when
Speaker Blaine took him down in the
House of Representatives. But the old
Pirate, bad to succumb although Le died
gamo, only yielding obedience to tho
powers that be. lie covets the Govern
orship of the ‘Hub,’ yet is too wily to
run independently of a regular nomina
tion. It is bard to tell whether his over
throw is a blessing or a cause for re
gret.
In New Mexico tho Democrats have
succeeded by 2000 majority !
On the shores of Lako Michigan a
fire is raging that defies, so far, opposi
tion. The people havo dug pits or
trenches and covered up tbeir household
goods, as the only, or most practicable
way of saving them—escape with life
being all, in many places, that could be
cared for. One person on horseback
narrowly saved himself- —passing in the
meantime, and counting as many ns IS
or 20 houses and barns in ashes. Such
was the drought that all the wells had
dried up, and the fencing, undergrowth,
and trees of the forest, like tinder or
toe.
Letter from Augusta.
Auci-sta, Ga., Sept. 28, IS7I .
Editor News 4' Farmer : Tho stir
and bustle incident to the annual open
ing of tho Fall trade, affords gratifying
ovider.ee that the almost unparallelled
season of business prostration experi
enced during the present summer lias at
last ended. The cheerful countenances
ot our merchants and the extensivo
stocks of goods displayed by them exih
its a lively faith in the extension of the
trade of the city. The remodeling of
old business houses, the erection of nu
merous iron fronts, (ho tasty applica
tion of tho painters’ brush, coupled with
the organization of several new firms,
are among the symptoms of a most grat
ifying spirit of improvement aud enter
prise to be observed here.
Cotton comes to market slowly, and
planters generally manifest little dispo
sition to sell more than pressing claims
demand. They are seemingly governed
by a conviction that the crop is short,
and that tho price of tho staple is cer
tainly destined to increase, in proportion
as this fact becomes more apparent du
ring the progress of the season.
Next Wednesday, 4th proximo, a vote
of the citizeus is to be taifen upon the
proposition to enlarge the Augusta Ca
nal, as the initiatory step to cncourago
the development of new manufacturing
enterprise here. But little active oppo
sition to the measure has been manifest
ed. A few capitalists and property own
ers oppose the scheme from the express
ed convictions that tho expenditure of
tho large amount of money (the esti
mate approximating $100,000) necessa
ry to completo the enterprise, must ne-
cessarily result in an • increase of city
taxes—esteeming the prosent rato (2 per
cent on real estate) quite as heavy as
property is capable of bearing. Some
of the colored voters oppose it from po
litical considerations—believing that the
increase of manufacturing establish
ments here will result in a corresponding
increaso of the white majority in the
city, thus effeetualty barring (be doors
of the city government against the en
trance of one or moro of their repre
sentatives. The general conviction is,
however, that the City Council will be
authorized to proceed with the woik.
The Augusta and Hartwell Raihoad,
an enterprise which lias been thoroughly
discussed for several months as on the
evo of being commenced, seems at last
to promise a real beginning. Authorita
tive information states that the contract
or, Mr. E. Hanford, of New York, will
commence the construction of the first
ten miles of tho road from this end about
the 10th of October. . Five hundred
hands are to bo employed, and the first
ten miles of the line pushed to comple
tion by tbc first of January. The com
pany has been relieved of a great em
barrassment by the resignation of George
D. Chapman, (tho very notorious ‘‘de
veloper”) from tho Board of Direction,
The anticipations of our people harmo
niously agreo as touching a grand event
rapidly approaching—l allude to the
Second Annual Fair of tho Cotton States’
Mechanics and Agricultural Fair Associ
ation, which opens here on the 31st of
October. That this exposition will be a
perfect success in all its departments, is
attested by the unflagging zeal and in
dustry with which the officers and com
mittees of the Association are laboring,
and by the encouraging intimations of
the attendance of exhibitors and visitors
from all quarters of the country. The
grounds, than which noue superior in
point of convenience or beauty can bo
found in the South, are being thorough
ly prepaired for the great Annual Exhi
bitiou of 1871, which it is no exaggora.
lion to predict will equal, if not surpass,
any of the uumerous similar enterprises
in tfaeSovths, Tike premium list exhib
its gru»t car<r and skill ia the arrange
mepjffand evinces a liberality on the
part of the Association wofthy of all
encouragement. The premiums to be
awarded aggregate $15,000, of wbicb
SI,GOO are appropriated to field crops.
More than $2,000 have been set apart
for speed of borsos ; and, and among the
special ptemitims are the following lib
eral offers : Wilcox, Gibbs & Cos. —
SI,OOO for the best crop of cotton, from
Phoenix Guano ; Dickson Fertilizer
Company—sl,ooo for best crop of cot
ton, corn and potatoes from home-made
manure ; J. O. Mathowson —ssoo for
best crop of cotton from Soluble-Pacif
ic Guano ; Pollard & Cos. —$150 for
best crop of cotton from Sea Fowl Fer
tilizer ou Bradley’s patent; T. P. Stovall
five barrels of “Pride of Augusta”
flour for best home-made and bakers’
bread ; H. C. Barrow—s2s for best per
former ou the piano ; Barton, Alexander
& Waller, New York—loo in gold for
the best gun made in the Cotton States
Among the special attractions, a bril
liant tournament will take place, and an
excellent band of music—the Warrenton
Brass band—will be in daily attendance.
With their accustomed liberality, the
railroads will rcduco the rates of passage
and transportation. Special excursion
tickets from New York to Augusta and
return can be secured for $25. The in
dications are that there will be a very
1 large attendance, but Augusta wiil en
deavor to provo herself worthy of her
high reputation by taking care of all
wlio may visit the city on tho occasion
of our approaching Fair. *
Woman Suffrage. — Massachusetts,
wbicb now-a days shapes our politics,
“rough haw them as we will," bus sol
emnly resolved in State Convention,
“that woman suffrage requires a careful
and respectful consideration.’’ This 13
as small a sop to the stro ig-imnded Cer
berus as the convention dared to give,
and plants another mile post in the road
of that k'nd of progress which charac
terizes tho day. What next? Probably
the Convention of 1872 or that of 1873,
will lead oft'in a demand for tho suffrage.
Then the example of Massachusetts will
be followed by the Western States, one
by one, and this fanaticism, perhaps, will
grow faster than negro emancipation.
And what is more ftrango, it will proba
bly grow contrary to the opinions and
the wishes of the great body of Ameri
can women. Not one in a hundred of
them cither demand or would willingly
accept the suffrage. A few noisy poli
ticians of both sexos assume to represent
the voice of American women, but they
misrcpiescnt and belie it. The vvomeu
of America arc totally averse to plunging
into politics, but the misfortune of the
situation is that thoy must first take up
politics in order to keep out of them.—
They must demonstrate in some way,
that the suffrage is unacceptable to them,
in order to silence the batteries of the
political adventurers who claim the sanc
tion of their sex. This involves agita
tion—political meetings—speeches—de
bates, and much of the common machine
ry of politics; and so, ono may say, the
women will be forced to go into politics
in order to keep out of them.— Telegraph.
Three negroes were taken from tbe
jail at Winchester, Tenn., and banged
for burning a Methodist Church.
