faudctsuille Mwvitld. FRIDAY MORNING, JAN. 23, 1874. Americas is affiicted with that dread dis ease, meningetis. A fatal disease is prevailing among the .young cattle in portions of Wilkinson county. We have some one to thank for a pamphlet •copy of Gen. Gordon’s remarks on the Sala ry bill, in the Senate of the United States. Mrs. John Kearney, of Bulloch county, was foilnd burned to death in her house one •da.y last week. The Postmaster-General earnestly recom mends that the franking privilege shall not be restored. A fine imported bull that cost S200, was sold at the Steadman bankrupt sale in New ton county, last week, for S25. Congress is doing its “big best,” (without material injury to itself or family,) to relieve •the financial difficulty. But it’s rather a hard nut to crack. Ezekiel Trice, an old citizen of Milledge- ville , and well known to many of the people •of Georgia—especially of the masonic fra ternity—died a few days since. West Point, with 1.700 population, has on ly “nine” bar-rooms. Such a shocking case of spiritual destitution, says an exchange, deserves prompt attention. Eight thousand one hundred and twelve bales of cotton, valued at $402,508, were shipped from Savannah to foreign ports, on Sunday. A man named Tim Barrun. attempted to ■commit suicide in Macon on Friday last, by cutting his throat with a pocket knife. The knife was dull, and so ho failed. Whiskey was the cause. ICJre Savannah Advertiser says a real live English Lord passed through that city, on Saturday last, enroute for Florida on a hunt ing excursion. Ho had six male attendants, .three horses and twenty-two dogs, beside camp equippage. It required two extra freight cars to'transport his outfit. The Hamilton Victor says JUaverly “Grange,” in Harris county, produced last year 700 bushels of corn over and above their own wants. Less that 25 bales of cotton were mortgaged among their entire membership. 'They have also agreed to submit all differ- •erenees between themselves to attribution. The Atlanta correspondent of the Augusta -Constitutionalist writes as follows ; The recommendation of Gov. Smith for a Bureau of Agriculture is gaining favor, as it should. T. G. Holt, of Macon, Mr. Harris, of Richmond, and others, are spoken of in connection witu such a bureau. ■ A portly gentleman crowded himself into a horse car next to a young man, who said : “Perhaps you wouldn’t crowd in here if you -knew I had just had the small-pox r” Oh, that’s nothing,” was the reply, for this is the first time I have been out since I had it my self.” A three year’s old child of Mr. John Reid, of Cobb county, was crushed to a pulp in a grist mill a few days since, by its clothing being caught in the cogs of two wheels. The mill stepped, and the miller going to ascer tain the cause found the child’s body wedged in the machinery. Fiee in Chicago.—The Union Central (rail road) Depot, at Chicago, was destroyed by fire on the 20th. A number of fine passen ger coaches, sleeping cars, and other proper ty belonging to the different railroads, to gether with considerable baggage that could not be removed was. destroyed. Loss estima ted at from $300,000 to $4,00,000. While the Depot was burning, a fire broke out on State street, and property to the amount of-$200,000 was also destroyed in that locality. Tribnte to the Memory of Dr. William G McBride. At the openining of the present session of the Legislature, Hon. P. R. Taliaferro an nounced,^ the House, the death of his late colleague, Dr. W. G. McBride, and offered the following Preamble and Resolutions, which were unanimously agreed to: Whereas, It has pleased the All-wise God to take from our ranks onr co-laborer and brother, W. G. McBride, of the county of Washington. Resolved, That in the death of Dr. McBride this house has lost an efficient and faithful member. Resolved, That whilst we bow submissive ly to the will of our Divine Master, we yet mourn the loss of our brother and in tender ing our condolence to his family we can but express the hope that the “God of the widow and orphan” will dissipate the clouds of sor row from about the home of the family of the deceased and lead them through the “green pastures” of peace, plenty and happi ness . Resolved, That we wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days. Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon the minutes, and a copy be sent to the family of the deceased, and that they be published in the Sandersville papers. In offering the above, Mr. Taliaferro said: Jir. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House:—In announcing to this House the death of my former colleague, the Hon. Wm. G. McBride, of the county of Washington, I perform a sad and most solemn duty. Less than twelve months ago the Speaker announced from his stand, that it was a source of congratulation to be able to state to the House that death, with his cold, icy hand, had not entered our ranks. But, sirs, whilst the word sjstill hung upon his lips, “Stern Clotho that weaves the checkered thread of life,” hovered around the dome of the Capitol and marked my col league as his victim. Dr. McBride, though a quiet and unobtrusive man, was possessed of a well cultivated intellect, and those noble qualities of heart that tend to elevate and en noble man and render him conspicuous among those by whom he is surrounded.— Having from early life been a resident of the county of Washington, and having imitated his Divine Master during an eventful life, studded with golden opportunities to dis pense charity nnd alleviate suffering, it was but natural that a generous and grateful con stituency should wish to honor him by send ing him tJ this House. And, sirs, how faith fully he served his County and State whilst upon this floor, every Legislator within the sound of my voice can attest. Whilst he faithfully discharged every duty incumbent upon him, be was suffering with a disease that has ever defied medical skill and crush ed the spirits of ordinary men. When his labors had ended here, friends advised him to go North and place himself under the treatment of an eminent physician, whose fame had reached beyond the limits of his own State. But, sirs, newly inspired hope was doomed to early disappointment. A weak frame yielded to the bleak, cold climate of the North. Though he died a stranger in the city' of Cincinnati, the 5th of May last, his bereaved wife, who had accompanied him, was rendered every assistance, by that warm hearted people, that sympathy and kindness could suggest. His noble deeds have so stereotyped him in the hearts of his countymen that he needs no eulogium at my hands, in order to perpet uate his memory. In concluding, therefore, this brief eulogy, we can but place the Holly over his grave and turn sadly away with the invocation, “requiescat in pace.” The Hamilton Visitor tells the following “fishy” story' : Mr. -J. W. Bonner, of Meriwether coun ty', was lately taken sick, and complained cf a pain in his Stomach. During the night he vomited a minnow fish of the liorney-head species, having cne side covered with moss. It is supposed to have been in bis stomach for twenty years, and the moss on its side is accounted for from its having lain so long in a torpid state. After having thrown up the fish, the patient felt no further pain. A country paper exclaims : “Lives there a man with soul so dead, who never to himself has said, I’ll pay' before I go to bed, the debt I owe the printer ?” To which the Telegraph & Messenger res ponds— “Yes, there are some we know full well, who never such a tale could tell, but they', I fear, will go to—well, the place where’s ho winter.” - Texas.—Matters in this Stato have been rather war-like for the last few days. After the inauguration of Gov. Coke, Gov. Davis declined to surrender, and made repeated calls for troops, but the government at Wash ington respectfully declined. A dispatch da ted Austin, the 19th says : “The sergeant-at-arms took possession of all the government offices without opposition. Gov. Davis had previously left the executive office—a clerk only remaining who surren dered the keys.” When well it Cease ?—The Atlanta papers state that Gen. Robert Toombs, as counsel for complainants, has filed in the office cf the Clerk of the Superior Court of Fulton coun ty, a bill against the Western and Atlantic Railroad Company' and Foster Blodgett. The particulars are too lengthy to waste space up on; but it is claimed that the road was not leased to the highest bidder as provided by' the act authorizing the same, that the Lessees are making $500,000 annually by said lease, •while only pay'ing $300,000 into the State Treasury. Complainants, who are the Seago party, claim that they offered $30,000 month ly rental for the road, and that Bullock'set . aside their bid and let the property to Gov. Brown and Company for S25",000. The bill concludes with a prayer that the lease may be declared fraudulent, and awarded to com plainants. The contest promises to be very interest ing to those who are not already sickened ,-with contention over the Western and Atlan tic R-’voad. Gcor&ia legislature. January 16.—Mr. T. B. Cabin ess, Secretary of the Senate, having resigned, Mr. C. J. Wei • bourn was elected to fill the vacancy'. A bill passed the Senate changing the name of the Reform Medical College, of Ma con, to that of the Macon College of American Medicine and Surgery'. A resolution sassed the House unanimous^ ly protesting against the Civil Rights Bill now before Congress, as an infringement of the reserved rights of the States and destruc tive of the best interests of both races. A resolution to adjourn to Milledgeville was lost. Not much of interest done in either house on the 17th. In Executive .session, W. Hobby' was con firmed Judge of the county court of Screven. Mr. Williamson, of Baldwin, has introduced a bill calling a Constitutional Convention. Quite a number of bills have been intro duced in both houses but few finally acted upon as yet. The Finance C-ommitte have reported the tax and appropriation bill. The State tax will remain about the same as last year— four mills. The specific taxes are the same except as to circuses, which are taxed $200 per day in cities of ten thousand inhabitants. Several bills have been introduced repeal ing the lien law. These will be compared by the agricultural committee and a bill pre pared repealing liens, except as to landlords and for labor, to be operative at least ten months hence. gfrangc Matrimonial Allan*. Editors Herald: On the first day of Janua ry, 18C4, was joined in the holy bonds of wedlock, by' Rev. J. H. Cowart, at the resi dence of the bride’s father, Mr. J. L and Miss R. L . (We omit names—Ed. H.) On the night of the marriage there were in dications ofjtrouble in life. Soon after the marriage the husband became jealous of his wife, (imaginin') and dissatisfied. He grew more and more so until ho became crazy.— He shut himself up in a room nnd made an attempt upon his own life by cutting his throat, and also tried to shoot himself. His friends had to keep such things as knives and guns out of his reach. On the 13th inst. he took the cars at No, 7, C. R. R., going westward, no one knows where, leaving his wife in the greatest distress. She loved him dearly,else was never woman true. He left her weeping over blasted hopes of a happy wed ded life. A. Scarboro, Ga., Jan. 13' 1874. Miss Laura C. Alexander, the young South ern actress, of Charlotte, N. C., died last week in New York. She was a young lady of refinement and culture, and, if we remem ber aright, adopted the stage as her profes sion owing to her changed fortune, caused by the late war. She met with-considerable success, but not to the extent she coveted, and it is believed she died of a broken heart. Convention of Greniers. Sandeesvxlle, Ga. January 19th, 1874. In pursuance of a call made from the San dersville Grange, to hold a convention of all the Granges in Washington county, a consid erable number of Patrons assembled at the Court-house, at 11J o’clock. The meeting was called to order by Robert L. Rodgers, Master of the Sandersville Grange. On motion, a committee on organization was appointed. The committee were as fol lows S, G. Jordan, J. J. Hyman, R. B. Strange, W. F. Slade and J. C. Harman. The commit tee retired for a short while, and returned with their report, which was as follows: For Chairman of the Convention, Col. -H. G. Wright master of the Davisboro Grange. For Secretary of the Convention, Robert L, Rodgers, master of the Sandersville Grange. For Gate Keeper of the Convention, Capt. G. A. Tarbuttcn Overseer of the Tennille Grange. Col. Wright made a short address, stating the object of the meeting, and acknowledged the courtesy which the convention had shown to him, in making him the Chairman of the convention, stating that he deemed it an hon or to be called to preside over the delibera tions of a convention of farmers of Washing ton county. Bro. C. C. Brown moved that all masters, and other delegates in the convention be re quested to give their names, and the names of their respective Granges, to the Secretary of the meeting. Our LalHir System. Editors Herald : I promised sometime ago to give you my ideas about the labor question. Well first, no man would work if he could help it; and if he has to work he will do the easiest and best paying work he can find. This rule applies alike, both to white and colord people, and. this being true, we can see at once that much of the complication of the working system is due to our zeal in its employment; and -the constant compromises of the employes. If a laboror can have half his burthen removed nnd his wages doubled by removing from A’s to B’s, he would be a fool not to do so, and yet we find after nine years experience, men foolish, enough to make just such offers to our hands, then they are offered whisky, and hollidays, and equality, stichas drinking out of the same bottle, and riding in the same buggy, and such like : together with whisky shops and commissaries being brought into the very fields when they may have a perfect eden right at home. Now all those misgui ded cross road to good labor are alike, mis chievous and detrimental to the- public good. If a man is mean enough to break his con tract with me and go to you for any consid eration he will be mean enough to quit you for like pretence and so on. We must there fore reform our plans of hiring people, the wages plan is far the best, for both parties ; but in case we have to farm in copartnership let all men try to act honestly in procuring workers and all feel interested in getting them to carry out their contracts ; other than these are all alike good for nothing.

Hyman The above plan can be vorked well, ju;t as Another.—The President has nominated MorissonB. Waite, of Ohio, for the position of Chief Justice. The Senate was surprised again in the nomination. Mr. Waite is said to be a good man, a lawyer of thirty years staning, of fair ability, and more of a profes sional man than a politician. It is thought that he will probably be confirmed. master T.

On motion, the Chairman was requested to appont a committee of five delegates, who should be a committee to report business for the meeting. The committee was appointed as follows: J. C. Harman, J. J. Hyman, R. B. Strange, C. C. Brown, and S. G. Jor dan. The committee retired to prepare business for the meeting, and reported the following resolutions, which were voted on separately, and each section was adopted by the con vention. 1st. We suggest the appointment of a com mittee of three, one of whom shall be the Chairman of this Convention, and to be Chair man of said committee R. L. Rodgors, and G. A. Tarbutlon, to prepare an address for publication to the Granges of the county up on the general welfare of the order in this county. 2nd. That, the subordinate Granges of Washington county, in convention assembled, appoint a committee of three to memomlizc the Georgia State Gnrnge, to assemble in At lanta on the 21st instant, to require Deputies or.masters before organizing new Granges, to first obtain the consent of the Grange nearest the point of organization before they can proceed to organize. , 3rd. That, we request our Senator and Representative to include Washington county in the Local act prohibiting the sale of farm produce between sunset and sunrise. 4th. That* we cordially endorse the bill introduced into the General assembly at its last session by our Senator, Hon. J. N. Gil more, to call a convention for the purpose of removing the Capital of the State. 5th. Resolved That, as we consider the j Lien law as pernicious in its effect, we sug- j gest that Granges would do well to entiriely j avoid giving Liens upon growing crops, j think it would be far more prefferable to farm on a limited scale and be entirely inde pendent in our farming arrangements, J.

In accordance with the 2nd resolution, the following Masters of Granges were appointed to present a memorial to the State Grange: Robeet L. Rodgers, J. C. Haeman, R. B. Strange. Brother Hyman offered a resolution pro posing the organization of an Association of Granges in Washington county. The reso lution was read as follows: Jtceolvcd, That, the delogatea of this Con vention be requested to present to their respective Granges, at their first meeting af ter the adjournment of this convention, the subject of a permanent Association of the Granges of Washington county, and to send up three delegates to Sandersville on Thurs day, the Fifth day of March, next, for the purpose of considering the propriety of or ganizing such an Association of Granges. On motion of Brother Hyman, the follow ing resolutions was offered and adopted: Fesolvcd, That the Masters and Deputies of the State Grange, and all Masters of Sub ordinate Granges be earnestly requested to carry out the spirit of the second resolution, as reported by the committee on business, and adapted by this Convention, in regard to organizing new Granges in Washington county. It was resolved that the proceedings of this convention be published in the Sandees- vtt.t.f. Heeald. H. G. WRIGHT, Chairman, Robeet L. Rodgebs, Secretary. All Patrons in the county are requested to observe with care the Resolutions as adop ted by the Convention, nnd to endeavor to conform as nearly as possible to the fifth, in relation to liens. Let us see the farmers of Washington county make a firm and united effort to live upon their own resources, and he independent soon as the farmers find it to their interest to draw in their farms ;and manure much more highly so that one good hand can work as much corn'and cotton as five or even ten now makes. For instance, if we make a little farm, by resting and improving, bring two bales per acre or fifty bushels of corn or oats, it is very plain that the work of one hand on such a farm would be worth just as much as the work of five on our present farms; and then we would save about two horses and four hands to each farm ; a system of econo my which would very ^soon bring up our country to a plentiful standard, and return us alike from oaf bad labor and great want of money.

Veterans of tlie Mexican War in Convention. The Convention of the veterans of the Mexican war assembled in Washington on the 16th. An address was delivered by General J. S. Negley, of Pennslyvania. General Albert Pike read an original poem and recited his * ‘Battle of Buena Vista. We clip the following from the proceedings (as reported by telegraph,) of the 17th: The Mexican Vc-tirans, at their meeting this morning, agreed upon a memorial to Congress asking pensions for those who were engaged in that was or their'surviving widows and children. In accordance with previous arrangements the convention in a body pro ceeded to the Executive Mansion and arrang ed themselves in a line in the east room, -when the President entered and was received by ex-Gov. Herbert, of Louisiana,’who, as marshal of the convention, said the members of the convention were glad to recognize in him an old companion in arms—in the glori ous and victorious battles in Mexico. The President bowed his thanks in reply and then accompanied by Gen. Denver, the presi dent of the convention, passed from one veteran to another shaking hands. Among the incidents were the following : Col. Ruddoeh, of Maryland, asked permis sion, which was granted, to pin on the Presi dent’s coat the rosette badge of that State. General Cadwalader, of Pennsylvania, presented to the President, in a few humorous remarks, an old colored man named Ben Johnson, who, during the Mexican war served as General Scott’s cook. One of Grant's classmates at West Point made known the fact to him and a brief but pleasant conversation followed. Among the spectators Were Gen. Sherman, Senator Fenton, and a number of ladies, The President and members of the Conven tion seemed to he much gratified with the meeting. The Convention then returned to the hall to resume business. President Grant was a Lieutenant and Regimental Quartermaster of the Fourth U. S. Infantry during the Mexican war. On returning to their hall the President called their attention to a beautiful vase which had been placed upon a centre table in front of the platform, and which came from South Carolina. He asked the convention to receive it standing. He called upon Judge Mackey, of South Carolina, to give its history. The vase stands upon a square base of about ten by twelve inches and three inches in height, resting upon eagle's claws all of solid silver and beautifully caased in frost work repre senting the charge- and repulse at New Orleans This vase was purchased solely by the ladies of South Carolina—two thousand subscribing for that purpose—and bore the follswing in scription on the front: “Presented by the ladies of South Carolina to Major General Andrew Jackson, January 8th, 1815.” The inscription on the above is the coat-of- arms of South Carolina and motto. On both sides, in full. “Presented by Gen. Andrew Jackson to Capt. W. B. Stanley, in trust, for the last services of the Palmetto Regiment.” Judge Mackey said the Vase was presented to Gen. Jackson by the ladies of the 39th (?) Congressional District of South Carolina, at the close of the war of 1812. Gen. Jackson be queathed it to the State, to be given to the man who, in the next foreign war, should be denied entitled to it by acts of valor and gal lantry. It was decided, after the last war, that no one man should be selected to hold it, and it was presented to \V. B. Stanley to hold in trust for the last survivor of the Pal metto Regiment. The Convention is to meet annually in the city of Washington on the 22d of Febuary. Plan of Appointments tor Davis- boro and Washington Circuit. February. Bayspring—1st Sun. in Feb. & Sat. before.

There aieno details, further than the fact that Chong was paralyzed last fall— since which time he has been fretful and very’ much debilitated and strongly addicted to drinking liquor as a means of alleviating his suffering. He had been quite feeble for several days—indeed so much so as to con fine both brothers to bed; but his. illness was not so great as to cause any anticipation of the catastrophe that was tb follow. On Friday night they retired to bed as usual, but during the night Chang became worse and expired suddenly about 4 o’clock Satur day morning. As soon is it was discovered that he was dead, Eng became so terribly shocked that he raved wildly for a while—at times exhibiting signs of great mental abbe- rationr This attack was followed. by what seemed to be a deadly stupor, and in two hours, it is supposed, from the death of Chang, Eng breathed his last. Caleb Cushing Again.—People ought al ways to be very careful how they write let ters. While the nomination of Caleb Cush ing, for Cliief'Justice, was before the /senate, somebody ransacked among the old Confed erate archives now on file in Washington, and found a letter from Caleb Cushing to Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States, recommending a certain individual to Mr. Davis’ kind consideration. Now there was nothing in said letter that could be con strued as disloyal to the “Glorious Union,” but then it was written to “Jeff Davis,” and that was enough. Hearing of the rumpus this letter was producing, Mr. Cushing de clined the office, and President Grant with drew the nomination. So Mr. Cushing -will go to Spain ns Minister at last, and somebody else will be Chief Justice. Eoyal Prolific Cotton SEED, Jj^KOM the five bales of cotton grown upon one acre of land by T. C.

O N the 10th of January inst., WILLIAM J. w< No Demand for Lower Grades.—That has been the song of the cotton markets, the world over, for two years past, and it is snng louder from month to month. “No demand for lower grades.” In course not. When it comes to lower grades Fort Indian furze nnd dogtail, at half price, are used, and enough of middling American used with it to mnke a passable cloth. There is no place for poor American cotton at any price that will pay the grower ; and, therefore, it is in dispen sa^le to the success of the Southern planter that he should improve the qualities of his cotton. We clip the above from an editorial in the Telegraph nnd Messenger of Tuesday last. It is a matter claiming the serious attention of planters. There is emphatically no de mand for poor cotton in the markets,and the reasons assigned above are doubtless true. The truth of the matter is, it does not pay to produce a poor article of any kind. People only take such when they can do no better. California pays $1,000,000 a year for sacking for her wheat. Most of it comes from Scotland. The Covington Enterprise prints the following valuable information as to how the girls of that town stand on the marriage question: We have 112 single ladies between the ages of fifteen and forty. Nine ty-one of these are after a man with money; two are anxious to marry a doctor; one will take a lawyer or a fiddler, she don’t care which; three are “lost to losand express their preference for a drugclerk; five want a dry goods clerk; one is after a gro cery clerk and two desire an •express man; seven will take anything in the form of a man, “Oh, Lord!” There was one who wanted an editor, but her friends sent her to the insane asylum, where she ought to have been thirty-four years ago. A Terrible Record.—A gentleman who was getting up statistics on the subject, ask ed an old man, eighty odd years of age, if he had ever known property acquired from the traffic in intoxicating liquors to remain per manently in the family. His reply was, “I knew but one. He had a fine property when he commenced. He made money and. kept it during his life. But two of his sons be came drunkards and were killed in drunken brawls. His daughters, also, drank to excess. He finally gave up the business, but not in time to save his children, who fell victims to a business set up by the father.” He kne.v others to accumulate property for a time, hut sooner or later it was gone, and never seem ed to do the parties or their children any permanent good. Conliseateil Property. Washington, January 20.—In the Supreme Court, in the case of Day against Micon, et al., the Supreme Court holds that in the proceedings in confiscation againt the proper ty of J. P. Benjamin, there was not suffi cient notice to Benjamin's mortgages:;, and affirm the judgment below) sustaining the title of the mortgagee and as against Day the purchaser under the proceedings. In the case of Bragrie vs. Slidell nnd others, the docision affirnfs the judgement below, holding that the confiscation of the property of John Slidell passed only a life estate and did not affect the title of his chil dren as heirs. In the past year in Great Britain cigteen peers have died, viz: Lord Annaly, aged 84; the Earl of Rutland, 78; Lord Kilmain, 76; Lord Geo.

WOODS borrowed a mule from the un dersigned, in Washington county, under pre tences of going to his uncL, in the lower edge i of this county, and to return on the follow- ; ins Sunday. Said Woods having absconded ; with the mule, the undersigned will give $100 j reward for the man and the mule, or $50 j for either returned to him in Washington i county. Said Woods is about 33 years of age, i 5 feet ten inches high, sandy complexion, | light hair and beard, is intelligent and uses | good language in speaking. He also has a | scar on the right side of his head, which can- j not be seen but can be felt, and which he says was made with a sling shot. When here he pretended to be very pions, and claimed to be a carpenter, shoemaker, or anything de sired. The mule, is a very fine mare mnle, of large size, mouse colored, about six years old, and has a knot on her right shoulder, which to the touch feels like it had a bone in it, and when standing sets her right fore foot a little ont. It is believed that the absconder with the mule has gone in the direction of Flori da. Any information in regard to either the mule or the man, will be greatfully received. S. W. HART, Tennille.
