Grange. The Order of “Patrons” is pecu

induced to believe that it will be conducive
of gTeat good to the agricultural interests of
the country. As the Order furnishes the op
portunity of ft social union, is designed for
the special benefit of its members, strength
ensthe bonds of a common interest, pro
motes the general welfare of the country,
and affords a guarantee of fair dealing, we be
lieve it is particularly adapted to the wants
and necessities of our people at this time, and
we commend it to our farming friends. As
journalists we shall encourage the progress
of the Order. We are glad to note that a
lively interest is being manifested in the
Order here. We do not ask men to join
except by their own free will and con
sent. Any planters in the county desirous
of joining the Order may make application at
the Herald office. As sood as we can, we ex
pect to publish a series of articles on the ob

Aflkdra in France.
France has again passed through another
revolution, this time without any serious dis
turbance, though there was some excitement
in Paris. Thiers has been deposed and Mac-
Mahon, one of Napoleon’s Marshals, was elect
ed President The ministry resigned first and
Thiers accepted their resignations, then re
signed himself McMahon acknowledged, in
a communication to Buffet, President of the
Assembly, his official notification of his elec
tion, and he accepts the position with the
following announcement “I will obey the
will of the Assembly, the depository of the
National Sovereignty. It is a heavy respon
sibility, but with God’s aid and the devotion
of the army, I will continue the work of lib
erating the territory and restoring order, and
will maintain the principles on whieh society
rests, To this I plege myself as an honest
man and a soldier”
We cannot tell how President McMahon
will observe his promises here made; he may
be “an honest man” and conscientious in
what he says, but when it is remembered that
he was one of Napoleon’s marshals, we can
bat believe that he will cherish some of the
Napoleonic ideas of Imperial government
These high sounding expressions are perhaps
wall calculated to pacify the discordant fac
tions there, and thus he may gain power,
and who knows but that he may yet perform
a second ‘‘coup efaf.” Tis ever thus by in
sidious artifices and deceitful expressions of
patriotism that despots encroach upon the
liberties of the people and make themselves
masters. But we may be dealing uncharita
bly with President McMahon. We shall see.
Press Convention in Americas.
Owing to absence from home, we have not
made any particular report of the Georgia
Press Association which convened in Ameri
cas on the 14th, inst In the hope that it
may be of some interest to our readers, wc
will now give some of the details in relation
to the Association. It is certainly a happy
lot in life to be a member of the fourth estate,'
on such occasions as that was in Amcricus
week before last On Wednesday about 12
o’clock, the 14th, inst quite a crowd of Geor
gia Editors arrived at Americus on the South
western train, and were met at the depot by
CoL C. W- Hancock, editor of that splendid
paper, the Sumter Republican. The citizens
of the city offered to the Editors the hospital
ities of their homes, the Hotels kindly receiv
ed them, and every one seemed to vie with
others in welcoming the members of the
Georgia Press Association. A considerable
number of those present, stopped at the ex
cellent Barlow House, where they were fur
nished with pleasant rooms, and after wash
ing and dusting off, they proceeded to par
take of the sumptuous dinner, and sparkling
champagne which was placed before them.
At three o'clock the Association met at the
City Hall; was called to order by our worthy
and efficient President, Mr. J. H. Estill, of
the Savannah Morning News. During the
afternoon session, the Convention received,
and accepted an invitation from Prof Doug
lass, President of Fnrlow Masonic Female
College, to attend a musical soiree that night
at the College. At half past eight the mem
bers of the Press proceeded in a body from
the Hotel to the College. There they were
received by ceremonies which astonished al
most every member cf the Press. A large
audience of the worthy gentlemen and the
good and beautiful ladies of Americus assem
bled in the college chapeL After hearing
some fine music by the Americus Cornet
Band, our quondam friend J. R. McClesky,
Esq., in behalf of the citizens of Americus,
in an eloquent and elegant address, welcomed
the Press to the hospitalities of the city. Mr.
McClesky is a brilliant young man. His
theme, the “Power of the Press,” was a grand
one, and his elocution on this occassion was
splendid. It Reems that I can see his fine form
now, with his graceful gesticulations, as he
gave utterance to many happy thoughts, and
beautifnl illustrations, and me thinks I hear
the “eahoes” of his mellifluous sentiments, as
they come in responsive throbs from the
many warm hearts of those who listened to
him on that night. After Mr. McCleskey’s
address of welcome Mr. J. H. Estill, Presi
dent of the Association, responded in a few
pertinent remarks, thanking the citizens, in
behalf of the Press, for their kind and gen
erous hospitality.
A musical entertainment was then given by
the music class of College. A few compli
mentary remarks were made by Col. Miller,
of the Columbus Sun, and Col. Styles, of the
Albany News. Then in accordance with
the solicitation of President Douglass,
the members of the Association joined in a
social chat with the citizens, and beautiful
ladies who were present, and all were joyful
in that spacious chapeL
On Thursday the Convention transacted
business which pertained the interests of the
Press.
On Thursday afternoon a very heavy rain
and hail storm came over the city, and fora
while it seemed that it would interrupt the
pleasures which were anticipated for the
night, but before night the clouds were dis
pelled, and we are glad to say the storm did
not materially interfere with the convivialities
of the
always remember them, and ask a blessing
upon them, and in after years, wherever oar
lot may be cast, or under whatever circum
stances we may be placed, we will-cherish
the sentiment of kindness and good-will to
wards the citizens and fair ladies of Ameri
cas, and oar visit there will ever hold “a
conspicuous place, in memory’s pictured
vase."
GEiKD BALL AND BANQUET
which was given at Hart’s Hall by the Press
and citizens of Americas. It was a grand
affair, such as we are not able to describe.
The Ball room was tastefully decorated with
festoons of cedar and other evergreens.
About 10 o’clock-the dance commenced, and
those who are fond of such amusement en
joyed themselves finely. A considerable
collection of the beautiful ladies of Americus
were there, and in this connection, we hope
we may he allowed to state the fact, that
Americus can boast of some as pretty girls as
any place we know. About 12 o’clock supper
was announced, and all were invited into
THE BANQUET TTAT.T.
which was very elegantly arranged. There
were three long tables, and they were really
burdened with the various fine things to eat.
There were cakes, meats, fruits, and fine
wines. We cannot begin to describe it as it real
ly was ; suffice it to say that everything fine was
there in profusion, and those poor Georgia
Editors did ample justice to the occasion,
and while it is true that there are but two real
Gormans in the Press Association, to have
stood by and observed all of those fellows
putting themselves outside of the good things
there, ene might have been induced to be
lieve that the whole crew was a gormandizing
fraternity. On one of the tables was a very
large pyramidal cake, most beautifully trim
med, which was presented to the Georgia
Press Association, by Mrs. C. W. Hancock,
the wife of CoL C. W. Hancock, editor of the
Sumter Republican. On the top of the cake
was a handsome little silk flag with the in-
soription upon it, “Tuum est.” The cake
was received by CoL Miller, of the Colum
bus Sun, in behalf of the Association. Our
worthy President took possession of the flag,
and we learn that it now waves over his desk
in his office.
On Friday the Association presented the
cake to the young ladies of the Fnrlow Maso-
ic Female College, as a token of regard foi 1
the pleasant entertainment given to the Press,
on Wednesday evening. CoL Baker, of thq
Blackshear Georgian presented the cakefo.'
the Association, and he did so in a very ele
gant manner by making a happy little speech.
President Douglass received the cake for th i
young ladies in a few felicitous remarks.
After this ceremony was over, the member ■
of the Press repaired to the Republican office,
which, we have neglected to say, was head
quarters during our stay there. The Geor
gia Press will ever feel [grateful to Messrs.
Hancock, Graham, & Reilly, for theirikind at
tentions to the Press Gang. We went there,
to take a farewell “smile," and for nearly on'
hour and a half there was a general toastin;.
and hilarity. Finally the partinghour »i
rived and we took the omnibus to the depot 1
was a crowd of ‘merry cusses' that left rtmeri-'
cus on that day. But we must dose this article,
but before doing so, we must extend our vary
best wishes to the Sumter Republican from th<!

blessed with goad health, -and may the sub f
scription list of the Republican never be less.
As to the fair ladies of Ameriens, we are un*
able to express our kindly feelings toward >
them. May heaven bless them in all thei
affairs, may they all make good wives, and
have good husbands, and may they have Hen.

The Convention or Governors.
Our Associate of tho Herald gave a little
notice in our last issue that we would have
a great deal to say, or rather write, this week,
in relation to the Governors’ convention, and
from one or two little incidents in the last
few days we are inclined to think that he
has put “expectation on tiptoe” looking for
an article from us. We are somewhat fear
ful tha: the “toe” of that “expectation” will
get “stumped” on—nothing, for just at this
time we do not feel in a proper mood for
getting off anything like a good article on
any subject. But here goes, we will say
something. We will “begin at the begin
ning,” and bring up the whole matter. On
our way to the “Gate City,” we met, on the
train, tho Hon. Morgan Rawls, of Effingham
county, who is the Representative elect from
the first Congressional District. It will be
remembered that his election has been con
tested by Mr. Sloan, of Sav.; Mr. Rawls in
formed us that a portion of his testimony
was recently destroyed, in the burning of
the house of Mr. H. P. Brewer, which burn
ing was noticed in the Herald about two
weeks ago. Mr. Rawls was going up to at
tend the Convention. About C o’clock on
the morning of the 20th we arrived at Atlan
ta, and stopped at the famous H. I. Kimball
House.
Pursuant to adjournment in Americus, the
Georgia Press Association met about ten
o’clock in the Hall of Commerce. After
transacting some business in the interest of
the Press, the Association repaired, in a
body, to the capitol building. The grand
ceremonies of that great day were then just
commencing. A national salute was fired
j by two cannons, making thirty-seven reports
in about fifteen minutes. And the way those
little bench-leg terriers did “git up and
dust” was snfficient to excite the risibles of
any one. At the first report, one little crop
eared, finger tail terrier gave a yell, as mnch
as to say, “H 1, as the woodcock said
when the owl struck him,” and he picked
himself np lightly, and took to a “double
quick gallop.” We were informed that he
did not appear particularly scared, but seem
ed to have urgent business in some other
section of the city. Another one that seem
ed to be cut off from his rations was heard
to yelp a time or two, as he crossed the
street, as if to say, “D n the great roaring
canawl;” another little tender hearted fellow
seemed to think that com at five dollars a
bushel was preferable to all that “blood and
thunder” rumpus, and as to cheap transpor
tation,” he didn’t ask that any odds, so he
gathered his little tail between his legs, and
he left there with a nimbleness that certain
ly needs no other illustration of his idea of
“cheap transportation.”
But all this was merely a side show, and we
will return to the main subject, and leave the
terriers to take core of themselves. On the
arrival of the Press Association at the Capi
tol, we were all conducted into the private
office of Gov. Smith, who received us very
cordially, and expressed himself as glad to
meet the members of the Georgia Press. We
were then conducted to the Representative
Hall. A brass band was at this time discours
ing in a happy style some of the popular
airs of the times. The Convention was call
ed to order by Gov. Smith. It was denom
inated a Convention of Governors, and it
surely was; there were four Govemos de jure,
and a very large number who were Gover
nor's—in expectancy. Hon. Lewis A. Thomas,
of Iowa, was made temporary chairman of the
Convention. Mr. L. Carrington of Georgia,
was Secretary pro tem. A committee on cre
dentials was appointed. Then a committee
on permanent organization was appointed,
Governor John C. Brown, of Tennessee, was
reported as permanent chairman of the con
vention, and Mr. L. Carrington, permanent
Secretary. The roll of (States was called,
and delegates from each reported. Eighteen
States were represented. A Committee on
business consisting of 11 was appointed, to
whom all resolutions were referred. Gover
nor Smith was chairman of the committee.
They made a majority and minority report.
After considerable discussion the minnority
report was disposed of and the report of
the majority was adopted. Mr. Snyder, of
Tennessee, offered a series of resolutions as
a substitute for the whole. He made a very
lengthy speech, and became rather a bore to
a number of gentlemen of the convention.
They concluded they would have “a good
joke on Snyder,” so they began to clap their
hands furiously. He didn’t mind them at all,
but kept on with a rigid persistency that
showed considerable, “cheek,’’and he occas-
inoally looked grimly npon his disturbers, os
if he were saying in his mind,
“Lay on, Macduff,
And damn'd be him that first cries, Hold,
[enough.’’
He held a tight grip, and a stiff up
per lip, and went through with his Bpeech
and after he finished, the convention very
promptly and complacently laid his resolu
tions on the table. Governor Woodson, of
Missouri, made a short speech to the con
vention, Gov. Brown of Tennessee, then
addressed the Convention in a very hnppy
little speech. We would like to synopsize
their remarks, but our space, will not ad
mit of it just now.
Maj. McFarland, United States Engineer,
addressed the Convention, and made a re
port of surveys and an estimate of the cost
for constructing the Atlantic & Great Wes
tern CanaL His estimate was about thirty-
five millions of dollars. He considered the
canal entirely practicable, and thought it
ought to be constructed. He made some
comparative statements of canals and raft-
roads which were already in operation, and
showed that by canals was a cheaper mode
of transportation than by rai) reads.
The Convention adjourned sine die on
Wednesday evening. On Tuesday night,
Gen. J. B. Gordon, of Ga., Got. Woodson,
of Mo., and CoL Thomas, of Iowa, made
speeches at the Kimball House. On Wednes
day night, Gov. Hendricks, of Tajirni ad
dressed an audience at the Kimball. House.
These speakers were all in favor of the canal
scheme, and we hope that before many years
our whole country may be blessed with the
practical benefits of the great canaL We
regard it as one of the grandest enterprises
of the age, and we hope it has now received
such an impetus, as will cause it to be vig
orously prosecuted to its completion. On,
Wednesday night a magnificent banquet and
grand ball was given at the Kimball House.
It was a very pompous occasion; there was
assembled one great throng of tho wit, wis
dom, and be&utv of the. country. A vivid
gas-light was radiated from the large and
brilliant chandeliers whieh were suspended
above the arena, and in the splendid parlors,
of that great HoteL
In the Banquet Hall there was spread for
the guests a luxurious feast, which would
•have gratified the delicate taste of Epicurus.
There was a considerable popping of corks
from champagne bottles, the heavy cares of
business were left.aside, and for the time joy
and mirth was depicted on every counte
nance in that festival halL The gentlemen
attended the ladies to the table, and of course
we were all young men, and very gallant.
From the Banquet Hall we repaired to the
Ball room, where there was a grand sight.
A string and cornet band was dispensing
sweet music to the gay crowd. The beauti
ful ladies were gorgeously arrayed in fine
silks and satins, which were ornamented
with silver and gold, and some bore upon
their brows eoronal wreaths, which made
them appear, in imagination, like real queens.
While we were thus admiring the scene, the
favorers of Terpsichore were tipping “tho
light fantastic toe” and “all went merry as a
marriage bell.”
But this, like all other pleasures on earth,
was bound to have an end. The hour when
we wished to leave soon arrived, and we bid
farewell to several of the pleasant young la
dies to whom we had been introduced during
the evening, andVte said “Good bye” to sev
eral of our genial acquaintances of the Press
Association, and got on the train bound fo?
home, a place where there is more real joy
than anywhere else, for
“Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like
home.”
Now readers, we hope we have succeeded
in intersesting you, to some extent at least,
in our cursory account of the Convention ol
Governors, and though there has not been
yet any practical results, we hope yon may
all live to see yet the practicability of “the
great roaring canaul.”
Who are They?
Editors Herald: It is not right to
publish everything we see and hear;
yet there are some things the world
should know, so here is one. Late
last Thursday evening, a gang of
strollers camped near Mr. M. E.
Warthen’s mills. There were five
men, three women, and nine chil
dren, with wagons, nine head of
horse, five dogs, chickens, birds,
tents, &c. I suppose they claim to
be white, but really they are nearer
of a brown. "When asked where
they came from, some of them say
“from Savannah,” others say “from
Mississippi,” yet another says “from
Kentucky.” They all claim to be
the same. One of them says he is
a horse doctor, he has no patients ;
another a tinner, he has no work;
another a gun smith, he has nothing
to do; the women claim to be for
tune-tellers; how much work they
have to do I can’t say. The ques
tion is, how do they live ? One man
has let them have five bushels of
corn in trade, this is all that I have
heard of them buying. A respecta
ble young man met two of the gang
a few nights ago riding off carrying
bags and ropes. What strangers,
(camping as they are,) mean by such
things the honest reader can form
his own opinion. I hear it from
responsible parties that every night
there is a large crowd of negroes at
their camp. I am sorry to say some
whites mingle in the crowd, not men,
of course. Surely, men who regard
their character will not be found at
snch places, unless it be to ascer
tain the wrong that is going on. Is
there no law for such people ? They
work no roads, pay no tax, make no
com, nor raise meat; yet they are
consuming what will be needed by
many of our people before the sum
mer is gone. Mr. Warthen has giv
en them their walking papers. I
learn they have gone in the direction
of Sparta. J.

Editors Herald:—It is rather diffi
cult to determine what is meant by
your query. You speak of a plane
triangle formed by ares of circles. I
connot conceive of any such forma
tion. Plane triangles must be bound
ed by straight lines. 11 you meant
to say the triangle formed by-the
chords joining the tangential points:
of the inner circles, contains an acre;
the answer will be:—Father had
34.2 acres; each son, 7.29 acres;
sons lived from one another 38.5
rods; from father, 22rods. But'if
you meant to say the space indeatd
' r thy arcs of the chords, is an acre;

89.76 acres; each son, 18.87 acres:
Sons lived from one another (presum
ing, as before, thatthey settled in the
centres of their lots) 61,9 rods; from

OBITUARY.
Miss Josephine E. Joiner died at the resi
dence of her father, in Laurens county, on the
first day of May, in her 20th year.
After a lingering illness of six months she
quietly fell asleep in Jesus. Conscious to the
last moment, she had the delightful privilege
of illustrating the power of the religion of her
blessed Saviour to sustain her soul while
treading the verge of Jordan, and enable the
believer to triumph over the monster Death.
Truly Jesus did make her dying bed as soft
as downy pillows are.
The writer ’of this notice was sent for, at
her request, to preach the comforting doe-
trine of the atonement to her in the presence
of her relatives andgfriends, only a few days
before she leaned her head on Jesus’breast
and breathed her life out sweetly there. He
put the most searching questions to her in
regard to her faith. “Do you feel that Jesus
is here?” “Iknow that he is.” “Are'you
not afraid that he may leave you ?” Smiling
sweetly she said, “Ah, no; why should I fear
it? He has promised that he will never leave
nor forsake me.” Just before her spirit took
its flight she clasped her father in her amaci-
ated arms and imprinted the last kiss, say
ing, “Do not grieve for me when I am gone;
I shall be happy.”
At the open grave over all that was left of
our dear departed sister the minister pro
nounced the solemn words “dust to dust,
ashes to ashes.” “Blessedare the dead who
die in the Lord.’’Amid the deathlike stillness
prevailing he could almost hear the voice of
“Miss Joe” in heavenly melody respond,
Amen.
