«I!J> fSaswss* j 4 -» jg J *** x om%i -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. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Novelties !
