In Congress last Friday a lull was
introduced grunting a pension of fifty
dollars per mouth to Mrs. Elizabeth
Custer, widow of the late Gen. Ouster,
and also a pension of tl-ty dollars per
mouth to Emauuel and Marin Custer,
the father and mother of the Oust r
brothers, alniu in the ludiuu massacre.
Mr. Tetry, on ejt-Ooofederato Congress
man of Virginia, who fought against
Custer in the late war, paid a glowing
tribute to his services, and urged his
side of the House to be uunuimons in
paying this tribute to a brave man. The
bill was passed without u division. '
Now, it it is possible to bring the
blush of sbume to imoli a brazen cheek
as that of Hyeuu lllaine, this magnani
mous tribute from the so-called Confed
erate Congress to a sullen foe should
certainly be effective.
Rtr.me.
It required no gift of prophecy to pre
dict the appointment of Blaino to fill the
uuexpired term of Morrill iu the U. 8.
Senate: The vacancy seems to have heau
created purposely, and Blaine naturally
and inevitably drops into it. The proof
of Ida venality and corruption in oflloo,
already elicited bv the Invoatigatiug
Committee, is amply sufficient to justify
bis expulsion from the Democratic
House j but his crimes, though they
smell to high heaveu, will only opeu
wider the doors of the Radical Seuato
for his admission.
Blaine’s health, which since his defeat
at Ciueimiatti, has caused his followers
so much uneasiness, is a matter of small
important*. He is ovidoutly an instru
ment iu the bauds of Provideuoe for the
accomplishment of a wise purpose. As
God ]>ermittud the devil to heap curses
and afflictions upon fits servant Job, so
Be tolerates the anomaly of Blaine's
existence us a tost of the faith ami
patience of the America's people.
PINtIIHACK.
The in o’ence and braxeu prcnnmp
tiou of this mulatto suouudrol is certainly
anparalloled in history. He has done
more to degrade the whites by fastening
upon Louisiana tbo rotten government
of oarpet-baggers aud negroes, fomenting
atrifa, aud inoitiug war betweeu the roc s,
msd Ims been the cause of more bloodshed
and death thau probably any other incar
nate iiend iu hia uufortnnate State.
Originally a slave aud au usher iu a faro
bank, then a Radical politician, he lias
kept hia own State ami the U. S. Senate,
to which he claims to have beou elected,
in a perfect foment for ten years.
Three times has the > cuate been forced
to decide that Finch had not eveu a
shadow of a right to a seat iu that body,
every investigation of his absurd claims,
costing the Treasury on immense sum.
And yet, ouly a few days ago, this same
Radical Senate passed a hill allowing
Finch back twenty thousand dollars fur
carrying on this shameful contest for a
neat. This, iu plain laugnage, is nothiug
but a direct robbery of the people, and
ie a fair sample of the administrative
reform with which Hayes aud Wheeler
projaise to afflict the tax-payers for
another font years.
Gwinnett Urn-id: We are informed
that a abort time since lightuiug struck
the ground iu a cotton field on Mrs.
Flowers' plantation and killed the cotton
lor at least a quarter of on acre around
where it struck.
THE lit TOItMR STATES. #
The Radicals are using every influence
which money end* command, and the
patronage es a corrupt government can
bring to bear, In side* a boat of s'andeis
aud lies, to carry the election h r tbeir
party in the so-called “October State*,’’
the principal of which are Ohio and
Indiana. But there are other States
which hold elections liefore the Presiden
tial election in November. The first is
Kentucky, the first Monday in August.
Then North Carolina, the first Thursday
in Angust. Then Vermont, Maine and
California hold elections id September.
In October, Georgia, Ohio, Nebraska,
lowa, Indiana and West Virginia have
their elections.
Os these Stairs the probabilities now
are thut the Republicans will carry lowa,
Maine, Nebraska, Ohio and Vermont, in
all 48 electoral votes. The Democrats
will carry Georgia, Indiaua, West Virgin
ia, California, Kentucky and North Car
olina, in all 50 electoral votes. There is
also a prosjHJct of carrying Ohio, with its
22 votes, which would make the vote
stand 26 Republican to 81 Democratic.
We are unable to see how the Radicals
expect to get up anything like a respect
ble yell over the result of the Fall elec
tions.
TAMMANY HALL.
Everybody is, nr ought to be, familiar
with the history of this celebrated Dem
ocratic Club, of New York City, and the
immenae influence it bus wielded iu
State aud Federal politics. Until it fell
under the control of the Tweed ring its
poser was almost unlimited, but since
the exposure aiul conviction of the Boss
and his confederates, the organization
lias lost much of its prestige, though
still quite influential. To tho untiring
energy and legal ab’lity of Mr. Tihlen,
prior to I-is election as Governor, the
city of New York is otfiofly indebted for
the exposure es Tweed, and, therefore,
it is natural that Tammany should re
gard him with anything but favor.
Avery large delegation from Tamma
ny attended the B'. Louis Convention,
with the avowed purpose of defeating
Tildeu in the nomination, aud to that
effect lalrored most arduously, but tm
successfully. It was confidently expect
ed. after Tildou’s nomination, that Tum
limwy would rebel aud throw its influ
i nee Tor the Republican nominees, and
thereby lose New York to the Demo
crats, But iu thU our enemies were
mistaken. Fridsy last, at a meeting of
the General Committee, resolutions en
dorsing Tildeu aud Hendricks were
adopted. This action removes pretty
much all of the opposition to the ticket
in New York, and warrants the Demo
crats iu counting the electoral vote of
that Stale for their caudidutes. Iu fact,
every .ixlioatiou now points to the tri
umphant election of an holiest successor
to Grant.
HARDEMAN'S WITHDRAWAL.
The Macon Telegraph A- Messenger of
Friday bud cunluius a letter from Col.
Thomas H- rdenniu, iu which he with
draws hia numo from the Gubernatorial
race. Tbo language of the letter is oer
taiuly patriotic aud highly commenda
ble. He saya ;
It is evident from the returns of pri
mary meetings in different counties that
T aui not the choice of a majority of the
citizens of Georgia for Executive honors.
Recognizing this fact, though other coun
ties yet to act would odd to my list of
sumiprters, it would not change the re
sult. It would, therefore, be folly in
me to continue longer in the canvass,
thereby iujuring my friends and creating,
iniueee sarily, further divisiou iu the
Democratic portv. Believing, ns I do,
that the will of the majority should gov
ern, I cannot consent to remain longer
in an attitude of seeming opposition to
that will, relying upon u contingency
that might happen under the operation
of tho two-thirds rule, to thwart it, and
thereby place ia position someone who
is not the choice of the people. I can
not lie a party to any such arrangement,
for it is against my sense of justice and
of right, and, therefore, retire from the
canvass, bowing submissively to the will
of the people. In so doing I would not
intimate to those friends, who ha* hoen
selected in my interest, how they should
act in the premises, for I am well aware
that their intelligeuoe and patriotism
will guide them in that line of conduct
which will result in good to the party
and bane fit t o the people.
R is difficult to predict the result
which Col. Hardeman's withdrawal will
have upon the nominating convention.
The comment- of the leading papers on
this subject- show a wide difference of
opinion. Tne Chronicle k Sentinel
thinks that many of the Hardeman dele
gates will now support Johusou, while
the Colqnitt organs promptly appropri
ate all of these votes to their favorite.
Th« Telegraph k Messenger, the mouth -
piece of Col. Hardeman, iu commenting
on his retirement, olearly indicates the
direction these votes are expected to
take, aud throws its iufltienoe for Col
qnitt. The Conttitutionalist is eloquent
in prai • of Hardeman's actiou, pats him
on the back, and, assuming to speak for
the entire Democratic party of Georgia,
promises that be shall lie rewarded for j
stepping "down and out," like a little
man. |
Henry Watterson, of the Oourier-
Jaurnal, will run for Congress in the
Louisville, Kentucky, District. It is
rumored that Bristow will be the Repub

The weather in lomtou during the past
four Jays has been excessively hot aud a
number of sunstrokes have occurred.
THM INDIAN WAR.
Him* the horrible massacre of Custer’s
command by the Indians nothing of im
portance has transpired on the frontier.
The Press thronghont the country is
nearly nuanimous in condemnation of
the (xilicy of the Administration towards
the Indians. Every treaty made with
them has been violated or ignored. They
have been cheated, robbed, swindled and
murdered until the fearful dilemma of
total extinction or a savage war was alone
left them ; and for this unfortunate state
ot affairs Grant and his official minions
must bear tile blame.
While we deplore the sad fate of the
gallant Custer and his brave little army,
we are forced to the conclusion that to his
owu rashness in attacking so large a foice
of well-armed savages with so small a
number of men innst lie attributed the
censure for the defeat and butchery of
himself and his command.
It is now conceded that this Indian
war is destined to become a much more
serious affair than was at first supposed.
Sitting Bull, the Sioux chief, who com
mands the Indian forces, is said to be a
man of more than ordinary ability, cun
ning, brave, brutal and desperate, with
an army of near seven thousand warriors,
which is constantly increasing by addi
tions from the numerous disaffected
tribes.
Grant's post-traders have sold them au
abundance of improved fire-arms and
uuiunition, and in the vast scope of moun
tancous country in which, under their
peculiar manner of living and fighting,
they can carry on tho war for years with
out a Commissary or Quartermaster's
department, it is evident that tho dis
graceful nnd bloody struggle in which a
corrupt administration has plunged the
country will eventually be settled at an
enormous cost of life and treasure.
Troops from different points North
and West have been ordered to the
frontier, but it is safe to say thut
single regiment of the regular army, now
quartered in the Southern States for the
purpose of carrying tho coming elections
at the point of the bayonet for tho Re
publican nominees, will be removed ;
nor will Hberidan, the great bandit-ex
tinguisher, be found anywhere near the
scenes of strife,
The Clebnrne Rifles, of Atlanta, have
volunteered their services to the govern
ment to avenge Custer’s death, ont the
offer has been declined by the Secretary
of war. This is fortunate for the Rifles
—uuless they are ail bald-headed.
UDfIKRHAWRIAb PROSPECTS.
Why, iu the name of consistency and
truth, the newspapers iu Georgia jrill
persist iu misrepresenting the strength
of the different candidates for Governor,
as indicated by the county primary elec
tions, is a mystery we are unable to
oxplaiu ; and now that Col. Hardemiiu
has withdrawn from the race, the confu
sion is increased.
For instance, take the two Augusta
dailies. The Constitutionalist appropri
ates nearly all of tho Hardeman delegates
to Colquitt, making 68 counties and 171
votes. It. givc-t Johnson only 111 oouuties
and 81 votes. Doubtful and scattering

capitulation :

Majority 176

To be chosen ~ 108
Colquitt tussle 0 more votes with 44

The Chronicle and Sentinel figures it'
up iu this way :

Colquitt. 92
Johnson 44
Uuinstrueted 60

And says editorially :
The Colquitt column constructors have
a sublime audacity about them that
would make tho leader of a swell int b
pale with envy. They coolly appropriate
all of Colonel Hardeman's delegates and
turn them over to their favorite notwith
standing the foot that uiue-tonths of them
are for Johuson.
Now here is a wide difference iu the
statements of facts by two journals, both
of which are presumed to know tlie true
strength of each candidate. Gentlemen,
somebody is either deficient in judge
ment aud mathematics, or so blindly
partisan os to ignore the truth iu order
to misload the public.

CONSOLIDATED REPORTS FOR 1

State of Georgia,
Department of Agricceture,

General State Averages.
Cor...—From the table which follows
it will be seen that corn is reported three
per cent, above an average. The upland
com is generally reported at a mncli
higher figure, but bottom lands have
suffered from excessive moisture and the
depredations of the “borer," or “bud
worm.” In some sections the entire crop
of bottom iamb have been destroyed by
overflow.
These casualties to low lands have re
duced the general average, probably
more than their relative area would jus
tify, sinoe the upland coin is generally
reported very fine.
C -tto.n. —While tie odhdition of cot
in the whole State is only an average,
that of the principal cotton producing
section is alxive that standard, the aver
age being rgdsoed by low reports from
counties wbicn produce but little of this
stanle.
Rice.— Rice is reported three per
cent, above an average. The cultivation
of upland rice is increasing iu the inte
rior counties, and would be still further
increased if a cheap coffee mill liuller
could be obtained. The experiments in
its production liuve, thus tar, been very
encouraging, the ouly difficulty being
the slow process of bulling.
Tne condition of mjar cane compared
to 100, or ap average, is 107, sorghum,
102 ; field peas, 100 ; ground peas, 103 ;
cliufas, 101; sweet potatoes, 106 ; mil
let, 102 ; forage com, 100 ; melons, 92 ;
peaches, 25 ; apples, 72 ; pear*, 50 ;
grapes, 94.
Forage Chops.— Fine crops of Ger
man millet and forage corn have been
made, and are now qnite or nearly really
for harvesting. The proper stage at
which to cut these crops is a question of
great importance. The blade of the
German millet is very rough, aud be
comes ummKswb as the plant approaches
maturity, hence ouly enough to afford an
abundant supply of seed should bo al
lowed to ripen. That intei ded for for
age should lx -out when the seed are ful
ly in the milk stage. The plant at this
stage hint its maximum amount of nutri
ment in the Stem aud leaves, prepared
for the formation of seed. If out then
the hay, when cured, will be more nutri
tious than at any previous or subsequent
period of its growth. There have been
compluiuts at tne North of injury to
horses from feeding German millet, per
haps in excess, which should at least put
farmers on tbeir guutd nutil the maiter
is thoroughlygested. Thera have been
no oouiplaiufl| of injury to cattle or
mule*. The ripe <eed have been said to
produce founder in the horse. These
suggestions are thrown out in the »b
--aenue of poStiiye information, to caution
farmers and exclusive
use of horses until
Corn forage is, perhaps, tho cheapest
provender which the farmer can raise,
the only uifltenlty being iu properly cor
ing the crop after it is made. This ia
greatly reduced by very thick pluutiug.
The soil oliogld be made very rich, ana
not iesa than eight bushels of seed sown
to the nore, in order to reduce the size of
stalk. It should be cat as soon as fully
in tassel, tlie stalk being then sweeter
than at any other stage of its growth.
Large areas should not lie planted at one
time, bat successive plantings made, so
that the whole crop will not need har
vesting at tho same time.
The most successful method of curing
is as follows : eat aud spread as uni
formly as possible over the ground ; as
soon as the blades on tho upper side are
cured, turn and allow time for tlie bal
ance of the blades to erne ; next sot it
up against poles fastened on stakes or
forks, l«oting the corn from each side,
lenvttig iff open space uudor the poles to
admit a free circulation of the air. The
poles should lie from three to five feet
from the ground, according to the length
dritbs. corn. After the stalks arc cured,
the whole should be securely boused,
bid "hot iy large bulk uutil ail dauger of
heatiug ft, passed.
Wheat.— As whs anticipated iu the
May report, the yield and quality of
wheat are not as good os was expected
and reported before it was threshed.—
The yietn 1a twenty-one per oeut. below
an average.
After a careful examination of the an
swers in regard to rust-proof wheat, it
seems there is not, strictly speaking, a
rnst-proof variety, though there are some
which have, for a number years, escaped
when other varieties were ruined by rust
iu the same field aud under the same
circumstances, in every respect. The
following are tlie. varieties for which un
usual tiwnliuess is claimed : In Madison,
Little Red May ;,iu Lincoln, the Dallas;
in Jeflwtthe Hwnilton Beard ad. In
ColiM&bKti variety has been planted by
Mr. Lamkin without serious injury from
rust.
Qnite-a number of correspondents
consider the Early Red Purple Straw
the in fret, because less liable to rust
thairXjther varieties.
Oats.— lt will bo seen that both in
yield and quality tlie Fall sown oats still
far surpass the Spring.
Fall sown yield fourteen per oent.
more thau an average, while tlie Spring
sown yield nineteeu per cent, less than
an average crop, making a difference of
thirty-three per oent. in favor of the
fat sown. There is also a difference in
favor of tlie fall sown ot twenty-three
per cent, in quality. Oats sown iu cot
ton when the latter is laid by, or with
out plowing in iu September, do finely.
Formers are urged to sow as large a por
tion of their crop as possible in the fall
The seasons generally in the State
have been very favorable for the last
Eighty-three counties report
the weather favorable; several report
foo much rain ; a few too dry.
The prospect to date is decidedly fa
vorable to the production of abundant
supplies of grain and provender all over
‘the State.

W ARM r:\ COUSTV MEKTIXG,
Saturday last wax the day appointed
for the Democracy of Warren county to
hold their election for delegate* to the
Gubernatorial Convention. The Clipper
ill, of cour.ve, contain the fnll proceed
ings, but as that paper is not issued un
til tomorrow, we print the following
outline of business transacted, specially
reported for the Chronicle and Sentinel
of yesterday :
Warkento.v, July 16.—1n pursuance
to a call issued by the Executive Com
mittee of the county, a meeting of the
Democratic citizens of Warren county
was held in this place yesterday for the
purpose of electing delegates to the Gu
bernatorial Convention. The county
has been a good deal agitated oa the
question of the Governorship—Governor
Johnson and General Colquitt having
each many warm friends. Asa conse
quence the meeting waa well attended,
and was one pf the largest of the kind
ever held in Warren county. Hon. A.
S. Morgan was called to the Chair and
H. W. J. Ham, Esq., editor of the Clip
per, was requested to act as Secretary.
The object of the meeting was explained,
and, on motion, a committee of one from
each militia distrust was appointed to re
port the nauiee of suitable delegates to
the State Convention. The committee
retired and, alter some tune, returned
and reported the names of Messrs. Jas.
Whitehead and H. J. W. Ham. The
report was adopted. Hon, C. S. Du-
Bose then offered resolutions declaring
Herseliel V. Johnson the choice of War
ren county for Governor. Upon these
resolutions there was warm debate—the
friends of Gen. Colquitt endeavoring to
prevent a vote from being taken.—
Speeches were made pro and cou by
Hon. C. S. Dußose, T. N. Poole, Esq.,
and others. At Inst, when the vote was
about to be taken, most of the Colquitt
men, finding themselves in a minority,
withdrew from the meeting. Mr. Ham
made a speech, saying he would not
withdraw, aud would bow to the
will of the people. The resolutions
were then passed by an overwhelming
majority. On motion the proceedings
of the meeting were ordered to be fur
nished to the Chronicle and Sentinel
and Warrenton Clipper tor publication.
The meeting adjourned.
On Tuesday afternoon quite a severe
wind, accompanied by a heavy rain-fall
and considerable hail, passed over Wur
rimtou. It has probably damaged the
crop.
Mr. W. B. Bostwick, of Newton coun
ty, has not been sick enough to go to
lied for SI years. For sixty-six years
himself and mother saw each other daily.'
A night never passed but what they slept
under the same roof.
A negro girl lh the employment of
Col. Newton Anderson, of Covington,
found a nugget of gold near his well,
which weighed four pennyweights. It
is supposed that this nugget waa dug
from the well when it was last cleaned
out.
Friday, the 21st inst., will be the an
niversary of the Y. M. C. A. in Warren
ton, on which occasion there will be ex
ercises of more than‘ordinary interest,
perhaps including an address or ad
(lronses from distinguished visitors from
abroad.
