The Houston Home Journal says, “Not withstanding the late frosts and cold weather the prospects for a large yield of fine fruit was never better. The peaches are some what thinner than usual, bHt that will only make them the better.” Generals DeBlanc and Dcclouet, who were charged withiesisting lawful authority, were tried before the United States Commissioner on the 26th inst.

Despotism is Louisiana.—President Grant has recently issued his “ukase in relation to the Kellogg usurpation in Louisiana, and he orders the citizens of that Sovereign State to submit themselves to a government which they know is unjust, and fraudulent And this is the Republic of Washington, and the home of Liberty in the nineteenth century. O ! Liberty, while thon art thus in the toils of despotism, we deprecate the us urpers authority. A day of retribution will come and thy votaries will be avenged. We believe a reaction will come when the whole people will demand and iciU have what is their own birth right, Liberty in America. Patbons op Husbandky—The attention of the Secretary of the Sandersville Grange is directed to a circular in our advertising col umns from the Secretary of the State Grange. The Grange in this county met last Thurs day and initiated new members, and trans acted some other business pertinent to the Grange. The Order of “Patrons” is pecu liarly an organization of farmers, and we are 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 jects and benefits of the Order. More anon 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<! devil” up to chief; may they always b) 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. toruwfe whenever they want them; we will 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. Warthen’s Mills, May 22, 1873. Public meeting. Sandersville Ga. May 26th, 1873. Some of the Citizens of the City met at the Court House to day for the purpose of organizing a Fire Com- pany. On motion, Mayor, C. R. Pringle was unanimously elected Chairman, and J. B. Roberts, requested to act as Secretary. The object of the meet ing was then stated by the Chairman. On motion, the Secretary was then requested to receive the names of all those who desired to enroll them selves as members of the Company, when twenty six came forward, and gave in their names. On motion, a Committee of three, consisting of Mark Newman, J. E. Wedden, and Pincus Happ, was ap pointed to solicit names until the next meeting. On motion, the company was re- ? uested to meet again at the Court tonae, on next Monday night, June 2d, at 8 o’clock, for the purpose of electing officers, and effecting a per manent organization. There being no other business, the meeting adjourned. C. R. PRINGLE, Chairman. J. B. Roberts, Secretary. 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; i0 answer will be: Father had 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 lather,.35.7 rods; These results are only approxi mate, the decimals having been neg lected after one or two places, throughout the calculation. Dublin. Tribute of Respect. Hamilton Lodge, No. 58,r. a. m., | May 201,1873. j With sentiments of sadness has this Lodge heard the announcement- of the death of Brother William G. McBride, li.

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.
