Says the Atlanta Constitution ; Judge Broking yesterday in tlie United; gnitea Court dicided that tlio United States Court had the right to make such rules relative to jurors as it seen lit, although it m ay not accord with State laws on the subject. 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 property. 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. Raleigh Sentinel : ‘ln Grant * iuaugu "'■■■ he has frequent occasion "to refer to '" e war between the States, and yet Mr** 61 once U!e w ord ‘rebel’ or ‘re ' _‘*on.’ He speaks of a ‘great internal the ‘late civil strife,’ ‘the States * >y at war,’ &c. &c., but never once says „'■ * or ‘rebellion ’ Our Radical politi in* an d writers will now have to take l‘, ’ r tae nd change their base likewise. ruai character of,the war will become w n and ackaowledgad after a while.”’ 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.
