Death of Dr. —The Mon
roe Advertiser says ; Dr. Charles L. Rid
ley of Jones comity.(about seventy years
ot age.died last Thu'S lay at his residence.
Dr. liidley had resided many years in Jones
aud was beloved and respected by all who
knew him. If we mistake not, he repre
sented his county in the General Assem
bly, several terms
Dr. liidley was almost universally
knowu in Macon, and it is somewhat sin
gular that his decease has not been here
tofore announced by the city papers.
Says the Advertiser;
Attempted Burglary.—On the night
nf the 10th, a negro boy attempted toentpr
the residence of Mr. P. J. Howard, near
Colaparchee. Mr. H. detected the thief,
however, and fired two shots at him with
out effect. The boy was captured, and
one hundred lashes “ under his liuen” nol
prossed the case. It is believed that the
negro was instigated to this act by other
parties.
Strahoe Phenomenon.—On last Fri
day, in a field on the plantation of Dr. E.
F. Evans, there appeared a remarkable
phenomenon. It appears that when the
held was being plowed, very suddenly a
volume of smoke w r as emitted from the
earth. Upon examination it was found
’that the rocks were considerably black
ened, and small apertures were observed
in the earth. Dr. Evans informs us that
there is a vein of minerals beneath the
plain - , from whence the smeke was emitted
—sulphur predominating. This phenom
enon is by no means new, as there have
been several of the same character here
tofore. The employee, who first saw it,
threw a rock at the earth, and gnashed
his teeth, and trembled with exceeding
great fear.
From the Columbus Bun :
The official census of 1870 gives to
Georgia in manufactures the following
figures ; Number of esahlishments, 383(1:
steam engines, 403 ; horse powers, 10,82(1;
water wheels, 1729; horse power, 27,417;
hands employed, 17,871 ; capital $13,-
930,125; wagons, $4,844,508; materials,
$18.528.731 ; products, $21,196,115. Id
1850 the products amounted to only
$8,082,075 ; in 1860, $16,925,564. Nearly
100 per cent.,with a desolating war atlhut
and a destruction $400,000,000 woith of

Tns Freaks of Railroads —Strange
Commercial Channels. —The Macon pa
pers and other Georgia exchanges are no
ticing large arrivals at Macon of goods
from Cincinnati via the Chesapeake aud
Ohio railroad. To start with Huntingdon,
the Ohio river terminus of the Chesapeake
road, is from Cincinnati by river a consid
erable distance.
Huntingdon to Richmond 423 miles
Kichtnond to Charlotte SB2 “
Charlotte to Augusta I‘jC "
Augusta to Macon about.. ..;. 110 “
Total 1011 “
From Cincinnati to Maeon 688 miles,
will cover the whole distance via Louis
ville and Atlanta, being 323 miles nearer
than by Huntingdon and Richmond, and
no river transportation, as is necessary
from Cincinnati to Huntingdon. This
shows that a few hundred miles does not
amount to anything where there is com
petition.
Cotton From Vickburg.—During the
week justclosed, through cars brought, via
tfiis place, 306 bales of cotton from Vick
burg en route to Savannah and New York.
We believe the time will come, when a ma
jority of the'eotton raised in the Mississippi
'alley will be forwarded by this route.
A. Well Conceived Hoax. —Some
joker has been hoaxing the people of Au
gusta by dropping a letter on the streets
Written upon soiled a paper hollar. This
was its contents :
“ Should this fall into the hands of any
°ne, send word to my dear wife, Mrs. J. J.
Harte, at Olive street hotel, St Louis, Mo.
lam up some ten or twelve miles, in my
balloon, tossed to and fro. Have lost con
trol of it, and the Lord only knows.
Tire wind has been blowing a terrific since
Saturday Bth inst. lam out of food,and am
nearly famished for water. I left St. Louis
on 7th, and have been floating about in
space ever since. 1 drop this, hoping
someone will find it, and address a letter
t* my wife soon. I will write, should I
land safe on earth again. My Dane is J.
J Harte, of Boston Mass.”
It was handed to Major Estes who at
°nce telegraphed to St. Louis and received
& re ply that if Harte had ever left there in
* balloon he must have done so very qui
etly.

VENTILATION OF ENGLISH POLI
TIC?.
a in;nvx kxi’lains the situation.
To the Tditors of the Enterprise:
I think it very strange in these days of
enlightenment and travel to read in a news
paper which aspires to the proud position
of a (nf not the) leading journal in this
State a statement from the pen of one of its
Editors that the recent change in the
premiership of England was a Revolution
in that country.
Such ignorance is almost unpardonable
in such high pmccs, aud lias induced me
to pen a few lines on the subject of Eng
lish politics, not so much with the object
of exposing this ignorance, but with a view
of informing such of j our readers as may
feel sufficient interest in the matter what
is meant by a change in the English min
istry.
TLe English government consists of the
Monarch, the House of Lords and the House
of Commons, the duties of each beiDg
somewhat similar to our President, Senate
and lower House of Congress, with this
difference; the monarch remains such dur
ing life, the House of Lords are hereditary
peers, except a few appointed for life only,
the latter being generally lawyers, and the
House of Commons is elected by the peo
ple for a limited time, seven years. But
it is extremely rare that the members of
the Housa,are permitted to retain their
seats for that length of time.
The advisers of the Queen consist of
the members ot the Privy Council, lienee
all proclamations, etc., are issued “by and
with the advice of our Privy Council.”
Besides this there is the cabinet, all the
members of which are ex-officio members
of the Council. The cabinet consists of
the First Loid of the Treasury (the Pie
mier) the Lord Channel lor aud the Seeru
taries of State—Home,Foreign, War, Navy
Colonies, aud occasionally a minister with
out office or Portfolio. All of the cabinet
have seats in either the House of Lords or
Commons and are open to al! the “interrog
atories” which may be put to them by
the opposition.
For many years past the politics of
England have been divided between the
Liberals aud the Conservatives. The former,
lead by Mr. Gladstone and Earl Granville,
in the house of Commons and Lords re
spectively, consist of Radicals (Republi
cans) Whigs and Liberals. The Conserv
atives formerly were led by Earl Derby as
Premier, in the House of Lords, and Mr.
Disraeli as chancellor of the Exchequer in
the Commons. Since the death of the old
Earl ot Derby the pariy has recognised
Mr Disraeli as ils head, aud its chief rep
representatives in the House of Lords have
been Lord Cairns and the prtfserif Earl of
Derby, who during his father's lifetime
held a seat in the Commons as Lord Stan
ley and was Foreign Secretary in his
cabinet. The more tory of the con
servative party are not particularly at
tached to his Lordship on account of
the liberality of his views. He is essentially
the leader of tire Liberal-conservative
party but generally acts in opposition to
the Liberal Party.
Now when the opposition becomes
strong enough to defeat the Ministers on
an important measure in the House of
Commons the Premier or Leader in that
House moves an adjournment for a day or
two for consultation. It generally results
in a dissolution of Parliament or resigna
tion of Ministers. A dissolution brings
on a general election. It being one of
the prerogatives of the crown to kick
out the "faithful Commons” anytime it feels
like it. Thus it happens that it is very
rare indeed for a house to be dissolved by
limitation of time—seven years. The
other alternative, a resignation of minis
ters, barely checks the smooth routine of
government. Only the heads of depart
ments are changed, for tliejdetestable aud
pernicious practice of turning every
office holder out because his views
are not in accordance with the
government does notyxist. All government
officials hold office for life or during good
behavior and the vacancies as they occur
are filled by the existing government who
naturally put tbeir friends in. True, the
entire policy of (he government is some
times changed, at other limes only the
policy on a single measure is changed but
it cannot in the most remote particular be
called a lie volution. It creates some ex
citement tbroughoat the country, but it
only lasts just so long as uncertainly lasts,
as soon as it is known what is to be clone
or whe will be the new office holders all
is quiet, and even the excitement of a
general election is over in a month or six
weeks, the mode of conducting a cam
paign, being very different and much
more economical there than here and
withal without the extreme bitterness of
feeling too often manifested here.
