' MACON JPCT 28. 1870.
Tlte S»»^ Domingo BUI.
Despairing of tho ratification of the treaty of
annexation by the Senate, it seems Gen. Butler
introduced into the House, yestorday, a bill to
accomplish the same object. The point gained
by Gen. Butler and the President in this move
ment is that the treaty ■will require the assent
of two-thirds of the Senate, (which cannot be
had), while thebillmaybe passed by asimplema-
jorityof a quorum in both Houses. It is sharp
dealing. Manifestly, a measure extending the ju
risdiction of the government over a foreign terri
tory and foreign people, is properly accomplish
ed only in the form of a treaty with the govern
ment holding the territory and jurisdiction. A
simple statute may bind one party, but it cannot
bind the other. Neither can a treaty of bargain
and transfer which is said to have been ratified
by the Dominican government, bind that people
urdess it has been sanctioned by this govern
ment. It takes two to make a bargain, and
failing one party the other is released.
Tho bargain with St. Domingo, therefore,
resting upon an inchoate treaty on the one side
and a mere act of legislation on the other and
neither perfect, makes the whole transaction as
defective in point of legality as any of the con
stitution—amending which has been done by
this radical Congress. It is accomplishing by
hicanery and management what it is impossible
to do in a lawful way. It is worthy of Butler,
and worthy of the administration of which But
ler is the agent in the business.
And tho Radicals in Congress can’t complain
of being outwitted in the business, because they
have systematically practiced upon the people
in the same fashion. They have procured con
stitutional amendments by such chicane, which
they well knew the people would never sanction.
After many days, when all in turn are bitten by
the snake, they will begin to see that the honest
way is tho best way.
“Reform” in South Carolina.
The “Reform Convention” in South Carolina
nominated Judge R. B. Carpenter, of Charles
ton, for Governor, and Gen. M. C. Butler, of
the same city, for Lieutenant Governor. An
effort was made in Convention by the whites to
nominate a negro for the second place on the
ticket, but the negroes had the good sense to
decline. Jonas Byrd, (colored) who was press
ed upon the Convention by the whites, said in
his own opinion, he was too ignorant. He would
be very glad if a negro could be found in the
State who was fit for the office, but since no such
mpu could be found, he was in favor of Gen.
Butler.
The sentiment of the Convention appeared to
be unanimous in favor of the most intimate po
litical fellowship with the negroes, and the tone
of tho speeches was not a little remarkable.
For example, take the following from Mr. Kcitt,
in moving to take up the report of the commit
tee on the platform:
Mr. Keit referred to the solemnity of the oc-
cosion on which they had convened, and which
alone had impelled him to speak. He did not
like the platform which had been reported. It
contained within itself only a recognition of
the past, and was confined to the limits of this
State. He referred to the history of the past,
and drew an analogy between tho position of our
forefathers a hundred years since and the color
ed people prior to the war. By the revolution
our forefathers secured freedom, which they
did not concede to their slaves. Though they
had eyes and ears, they neither saw nor heard
that which was demanded in justice to an op
pressed race. And as the Almighty had heard
their prayers, so, nearly a hundred years later,
He heard the prayers of the enslaved black peo
ple, and they were given freedom which had
been vouchsafed to the white race through the
war of the revolution. The speaker compared
the slavery of the colored race to tho bondage
of the Israelites in Egypt, and President Lin
coln to Moses, both of whom, when they had
led tho enslaved people ont of bondage, had
been gathered to the homes of their fathers be
fore tho fruition of their hopes was realized.
Tired of Tlieiu.
Mr. J. G. Stanton, (true bine Radical from
Boston), who is building the Alabama & Chatta
nooga Railroad, has telegraphed to California
to ascertain when, and at what co3t, he can ob
tain 1000 or 2000 Chinese coolies, to work npon
its construction. He has taken this action with
a view to relieving himself from dependence
npon the whims of the negro laborers, with
whom he has nearly lost patience. Ho finds it
nearly impossible to keep them at work, and,
after he has paid their expenses from all parts
of the Sontb, many of them do not work more
than two or three days.
Running A Locomotive Against 300 Indians.
That is a lively circumstance stated in the Sun
day dispatches, (see first page) about running a
tilt against 300 Indians, with a Pacific Railway
Train. Conld these Indians have intended a
hostile demonstration against the train and fail
ed to tear up the track ? It seems improbable.
At all events passengers by the overland train to
California daring this summer, would do well
to take with them a bottle of Spalding’s prepared
glue, to use in re-attaching their scalps in case
they should become loose. In time of peace
and safety prepare for war and danger.

Cotton Movements fob the Week.—A very
interesting report of cotton movements for the
week will be found in Sunday’s dispatches npon
the first page. The crop receipts from 1st Sep
tember to date were 2,800,478 against 2,087,725
at the samd time last year—increase, 712,753
bales. The Liverpool stock of cotton, American
and Indian, afloat for Europe, on hand and in
transit, amounted to 1,098,000 bales, against
1.137,500 at the same time last year. Thestock
in America was 275,G44, against 443,558 at the
same time last year. See dispatches.
The New York Standard says Mr. Dickens
probably owes his death to his American and
farewell English readings, not the least acces
sory being his travels here in an unusually
stormy, violent season, with exceptionably deep
snow, while he was suffering throughout his ex
cursion from a cold. To add to this, his ideas
of exercise were erroneous. He never walked
less than fourteen miles a day while in this
country, and this at a great pace, with an ex
hausted vitality, and in a climate to which he
was unaccustomed. Mr. Dickens, in America,
Msolved himself into a tremendous machine,
tod wore himself ont.
Confirmation of Akcrman.
“NOT BADICAIi ENOUGH!
The telegrams inform ns that there is such a
fierce and determined onslaught on Akcrman
that President Grant can’t stand the fire. He
falters and halts under the fierce opposition of
Morton’s legionaries and is about to turn tail
and withdraw the nomination. Thus the Presi
dent furnishes science with striking illustrations
of the difference between what is called physi
cal and moral courage, and proves that a man
may lead a million soldiers to tho cannon’s
month, who cannot face a battalion of politi
cians.
The Cabinet has proved tho pons assinorum
of the administration from the very conclusion
of the inaugural address; and tins, not because
there ought to be any extraordinary difficulty in
adopting or maintaining an executive will and
judgment in the premises. On the contrary,
usage and the nature of the case both conspire
to make an independent selection of the cabinet
not only eminently proper in itself, but essen
tial to the harmonious and efficient operation of
the Executive Department.
There seems, indeed, to be no other assigna
ble reason, for tho extraordinary conflicts and
difficulties between Congress and tho President
npon Cabinet questions than tho simple one that
this is one of the few points on which the Pres
ident has indicated a choice or policy. There
may be one or two others—the San Domingo
treaty and tho Cuba matter—but on these also
be has aroused a gimilnr fuss and antagonism.
The truth is, the “Supreme Congress” will ad
mit nothing on the part of the President beyond
the right of private judgment, and that must be
very moderately advanced and held hypotheti
cally—“if the Congress concur,” or it will bo,
as in the case of the Cuba message, styled a
piece of arrogance and dictation.
And so in the matter even of the President’s
confidential advisers. Congress insists that its
judgment and feelings shall overrulo those of
the Executive. It can and will permit nothing
in tho Executive Department, more than in tho
Supreme Court, beyond a simple registry and
ministerial execution of its Supreme will and
pleasure. It has determined to reduce the other
departments of the government to a cypher.
Now the objection to Mr. Akerman that he is
“not radical enough.,” is so manifestly unfound
ed that we have determined to give a certificate
to the contrary. Radicalism, as we understand
it, is a supreme contempt for law. All its char
acteristics may be included in this comprehen
sive definition, and measured by it no man is
beyond Mr. Akerman. No longer ago than last
Spring Mr. Akerman appeared officially before
the United States District Court in Atlanta, in
the case of a man arrested in Georgia and
brought to trial before one of Gen. Terry’s mil
itary tribunals for an offence alleged to have
been committed in Texas. The man had sued
ont a writ of habeas corpus, before Judge Ers-
kine, and an argument arose on the jurisdiction
and power of the United States military pro
consuls. Upon direct and specific questions
propounded to him by Judge Lochrane, the op
posing counsel, Mr. Akerman asserted and main
tained that the fiat of a military commander,
under the reconstruction acts, conld make that
crime which was such neither by statutory nor
common law.
We speak from memory, but whoever doubts
can easily refer to the report of tho case, and if
it does not make Akerman as much a Radical as
Drake, or Stewart, or Chandler—just as careless
about all constitutional or legal defences to life,
liberty and property—just as anxious to pros
trate government in every desirable and benefi
cent sense, and make it a red-handed lunatic,
powerful only to blast, wither and destroy—just
as wild, reckless and illogical—then we will
withdraw this certificate.
What Morton shonld ask more in an Attorney
General, than that he should put tho ipse dixit
of a mere agent of the reconstruction laws high
above and beyond all the inalienable and con
stitutional rights of the man and the citizen,
puzzles us to conceive. If Akerman is not Rad
ical enough, according to any reasonable, prac
tical and actual interpretation ofthe term, then
there is not another “radical enough” short of
the domain of Pinto.
A Cable dispatch says it is reported in London
Hat Mr. Dickens, some time before his death,

David Copperfield, is interred there, and that
■ha was the only woman whom Dickens ever
owed, though he did not marry her.
A Great Trntli Grandly Expressed,
The ceremonies of unveiling the statue re
cently erected by the surviving members of the
Washington Light Infantry, of Charleston, to
their dead comrades who fell in the late civil
war, took place, Thursday, in the presence of an
immense crowd. Gen. Hampton was the orator
of the occasion, and made a grand speech. How
he answers the miserable creatures who in these
latter days are whining that the sword can settle
principles; and that therefore the cause of’ the
Confederacy was a wicked cause, and those who
fonght for it traitors, is set forth in the append
ed burning words. They are as true and
immutable as the everlasting hills, and will bo
while time endures. All Southern people do-
serving the name will never accept aDy other
faith. And this they can do with the most
scrupulous regard to the new vows they haVp
token to the Union, and without doing the least
violence to their feelings and sentiments os
friends and supporters of a broad and generous
nationality. Said Gen. Hampton on this point
Let ns, then, my friends and comrades, cling
with unrelaxing grasp and unshaken confidence
to the faith that is in ns. Let not the angry
threats of oppression or the syren voice of temp
tation drive or allure us to forsake it. Above
all, bo not misled by that unmeaning jargon
which tells you that your cause was submitted
to the arbitrament of arms, and that the sword
has decided that cause against you. The sword
has never, nor will it ever, decide a principle or
establish a truth. It can, ns it has often done,
overthrow a just cause and make might take the
place of right; but it can never reverse the im
mutable laws of God, and make what is evil ap-
pear right in His sight. A noble cause, upheld
heroically by honor, courage and patriotism may
die along with its supporters. A great truth
never dies; but, eternal as tho God-head from
which it spriDgs, it lives forever, amid all tho
changes of dynasties, the wreck of empires,
and the death of nations. It is too, as false in
fact as in logic to assert that the sword can or
does decide justly between right and wrong.
With the sword the Goths and Vandals drench
ed the fair fields of Italy with the best blood of
her sons. It gave nearly half the world to Ma
homet. It allowed the Turks to trample onttbe
civilization of Greece. Its keen edge has dis
membered Poland. It has left Hungary bleod-
ing at the feet of the oppressor. It has turned
over Spain and Portugal to the tender mercies
of the Saracen, and on this continent and in onr
day, directed by unscrupulous power against
the throats of prostrate States, reeking with
parricidal blood, it enforces the laws which it
alone has made. Tell me not, then, that the
sword can rightfully turn the scales of justioe.
It is the exponent of tyranny, not the arbitra
tor of truth—the badge of the tyrant and the
executioner, not the symbol of justice. It is
not at all inconsistent with these views that we,
as a conquered people, shonld observe scrupu
lously tbe terms dictated by the sword and ac
cepted by us. We can do this, and should do
it, in perfect good faith ; bnt wo should claim
and exercise the God-given right of freedom of
opinion. We acknowledge that the cause for
which these men died is lost, but we should be
false to that cause, were we to admit that they
were, because of failure, necessarily wrong.
We believe that they were right, and we there
fore honor and respect their memory. If they
were right, time will vindicate the aotion and
record their fame. If wrong,
“It was a grievous fault,
And grievously have they answered it.”
A Costly Kiss.—In the case of Newton W.
Seibert and Elizabeth, his wife, against John
Leeson, for assault, reported in tbe Baltimore
Gazette, of Saturday, .it was proved that Leeson
kissed Mrs. B.’s hand foreibly and against her
will, and the jury gave the plaintiff §2000 dam
ages.
The Georgia Press.
The Savannah cotton statement up to Satur
day, 18th inst., shows total receipts, 456,740
bales uplands, and 15,142 bales of sea islands;
shipped, 455,769 bales of uplands, and 14,929
bales of sea islands; leaving stock on band 10,-
981 bales of uplands, and 213 bales of sea
islands.
The Columbus cotton statement for the same
date shows total receipts, 66,C48bales; shipped,
61,789 bales; leaving stock on hand, 4859 bales.
The Sun asks these impertinent questions:
Is Georgia a State? Can a Cabinet officer bo
selected from a military district ? or does Grant
credit Ackerman to New Hampshire?
A correspondent of the Son says the Musco
gee cotton crop looks well, is healthy and
strong and very large for its age; stands were
never better. Com promises an average crop,
Oat crop a failure.
The Sun says Mr. Henry McCauley recently
cut 5000 pounds of hay from three-eighths of
an aera.
The Enquirer says Mrs. John McKee, of that
place, was knocked out of a buggy on Saturday,
and seriously injured by the wheel passing over
her neck.
The B ainbridge Sun says:
Attempted Escape.—Mr. Tate, charged with
the murder of negroes near Cairo, in this
oounty, was arrested by Sheriff Waugh this
morning. He was brought to tho Court-house
and jumped from the window to escape, when
half a dozen shots was fired by tho officers, one
of which took effect, inflicting a severe flesh
wound on him.
. The Brunswick Appeal says tho valuation of
real estate recently made there by sworn asses
sors foots up $2,400,000—nearly double tho
assessment of twelve months ago. Tho Appeal
claims 8,000 population.
The Appeal says Grant & Alexander have 250
convicts and sixty mules and carts at work on
the B. & A. R. R. near Waresboro.
The revision of the jury box of Richmond
county has closed, with the addition of the
names of over 100 negroes to tho list.
The sight of a wagon load of com in the
streets of Columbus being retailed for $1 50 a
bushel, woke up that town Saturday to such an
extent, that the local of the Enquirer got out of
breath running to his office to record the fact.
A negro assaulted Mr. John Thnrkild, who
lives a few miles below Columbus, with a hoe,
Saturday, and was dangerously shot by Mr. T.
therefor.
D. W. Lewis has withdrawn his resignation,
and. been reinstated as Secretary of the State
Agricultural Society.
A negro boy named John Jackson was thrown
from a horse into the Augusta Canal, Saturday,
and drowned.
The Chronicle and Sentinel says:
Through private sources we learn that the
celebrated Found murder case was decided in
Wilkes Superior Court last week. Our readers
will recollect that in the month of February,
1857, David Found of Hancock county shot and
killed a neighbor of his named Harrison, a son
of W. D. Harrison. The killing was done in a
field near a lone which separated the premises
of the parties and, though there seems to have
been previous bad feeling between them, the at
tack was preceded by an altercation between
Fonnd and a man named Morris, after whicb
a quarrel arose between tho former and Harri
son, resulting in the death of tbe latter. The
case was tried three times in Hancock Superior
Court, but the jury each time failed to agrae
upon a verdict and it was transferred to Wilkes
connty. The trial in the latter conrt commenced
last Tuesday morning and lasted until Thursday
night at ten o’clock, when the jury retired. On
Fredao at twelve o’clock tho jury returned the
following verdint: “We, tho jury, find the de
fendant guilty of murder.” It is said that the
cousel for the prisoner will move for a new trial
on the ground that Judge Andrews erred in his
charge to tho jury.
A great deal of interest was manifested in the
trial and the best legal talent represented both
the State and the accused.
Judge James S. Hook, the well known crim
inal lawyer of this city, and Messrs. Jordan and
Little appeared for the prosecution.
General Robert Toombs and Judge Linton
Stephens conducted the defense.
The Rome Courier reports the spring chicken
crop a failure in that region. The editor has
not fleshed his grinders this year on one less
than a year old.
The Savannah Repnblioan says :
Shipment cf Vegetables.—The shipment of
various kinds of vegetables raised in the gardens
about Savannah, continues with great activity.
Yesterday a large quantity was taken by the
steamships. As a matter of interest, showing
the extent of the shipment of vegetables yester
day, we will state thatthe Wyoming carried away
500crates, the San Salvador CIO crates, and the
Montgomery 90 crates of vegetables, for the
Fhiladelphia and New York markets.
The Dohlonega Signal says Mrs Jessie Satter
field, from Macon, who has been' living there

' Mr. G. F. Parker had his head badly cut and
was otherwise injured at Dahlonega, Friday, by
a heavy scaffold falling on him.
We find the following items in the Tolbotton
Standard:
The Crops.—Since our last review of the
crops a decided improvement has token place in
corn and cotton. ■ Delightful showers have fal
len at intervals during the last week, and filled
all vegetation with luxuriance and growth. The
negroes are working exceedingly well this year,
generally for a share of the crop, 1 evidencing
more interest than usual in its cultivation. Gross
is becoming plentiful. where fertilizers have
been UBed, and farmers are bending their entire
energies to its eradication. The use of guano,
its advantages and good results, are conceded
on all sides. Altogether, the situation is en
couraging.
Cotton blooms appeared on the form of Sir.

Death of- Jas. P. Calmer.—Oar community
was oUookcd -with the sudden death on Monday
evening last, of our esteemed .citizen, Jas. D.
Callier. He had been working on his little farm
daring the day,' about? bne mile distant from
town, and was in the habit of coming home
every night Tbe negro boy who worked on the
farm came home at night and was surprised to
hear that his old masteribadnot reached Talbot-
ton. The boy stated that a liitle before night
he saw Mr. Callier walking across the field and
thought he had come home. ' Apprehensions as
to his situation were immediately excited, and
many of our citizens went out i<r search of
him. He was found near where the negro boy
saw him last, lying on his side, dead. He was
brought to Talbotton about 10 o’clock Monday
night and buried at the cemetery on Wednesday
morning. Mr. Callier was aa old and highly
respected citizen of this place, a member of the
Methodist Church and 74 years of age when he
died.
Tzbbidle Tobnado.—A few days ago a terri
ble tornado-passed near Mr. David Lockhart’s
on the line of Taylor county, carrying away six
negro houses, fences, and everything in ts
traok. Fortunately, the residence of Mr. Lock
hart escaped injury.
Let us Have Peas.—The country has near
ly ran out of field peas. The are Belling at
three to four dollars per bushel in Talbotton—
the best evidence of the fact that raising peas
will pay.
Serious Illness of F. M. Yeasey.—Mr.
Veasey, who removed from this county to Ran
dolph, several months ago, is lying seriously ill.
His leg was amputated, in consequence of rheu
matism, several weeks ago, and it was thought
from last accounts received, he would die.
Fine Stock.— CoL Spain and Mr. Thos. Per
sons have just arrived from Cincinnati with a
large lot of fine horses. Thay left the railroad
at Atlanta, riding through by way of Newnan
and Greenville. Crops were looking well, but
they found it difficult to buy corn in the country
to feed their stock on.
The “Happy Family 1
pMa*
From an aooonnt of the proceedings of a con
vention held in Philadelphia last Wednesday, to
nominate a candidate for sheriff, we oopy the
following extract from Forney’s Press. The
Philadelphia trooly loil it will be remembered,
are among the purest and lovlie3t of their kind
—so immaculate in fact, that they almost faint
with loathing at the sight of a rebel.
A struggle fob the gavel.
A scene of great exoitement followed. The
struggle for the gavel was hotly waged. It was
snatohed from Lane’s hands by the Berryites,
and in a momtJnt it was forcibly transformed to
Elliott, the Bingham party man. A hundred
delegates crowded on the stage, and a Beene of
the wildest confusion directly ensued. The desk
was overturned, and the stage chandeliers wore
wrenched from their places.
No sooner had the desk been replaoed. and
William Elliott mounted it to doolaro the names
of the secretaries, than Lane rushed npon him,
snatohing for the mallet. In the contention
which followed, Elliott and Lane, and a dozen
delegates who were hotly pursuing them on
either sido were thrown from the stage upon tho
floor, a distance of six feet. Elliott, with re
markable alacrity, regained tbe stage, but to
find the back of his coat ripped to tho collar.
Stripping himself of the garment, he again step
ped upon tho stngo, and in a momentary calm
announced Dr. Crowoll and Isaac McBride as
temporary secretaries, and thus spoke:
srEEcn of William elliott.
I desire to say that if it is tho desire of the con
vention that I shall not preside as tho tempora
ry organizer, I will withdraw. I tell yon that
it is for tho interest of tho Republican party
that these sconosof disorder should cease.—
Thoso who want mo for temporary organizer
say “aye.”
THE FIGHT RESUMED.
A roar in the affirmative was followed by an
equally loud roar in the negative, and the fight
on tho stago was again resumed, during which
the reporters’ desks were overturned, and the
knights of tho quill themselves forced for safety’s
sake, into the stage boxes. During this melee
Lane’s hat was smashed, and that gentleman
was seized by the arms and legs and dragged to
tho edge of the stage, the intention, undoubted
ly, being to force him off. Happily his progress
off tho platform was stopped by one of the chan
deliers, which had been replaced. He struggled
out of the hands of his captors, and, jumping
npon a bench, cried out:
“As temporary chairman of this convenlion,
I nominate John W. Sayres and John Thomson
for secretaries, and I want to say”—
Cries of “Put him out.” “Throw him off the
stage,” etc., and an uproarious boo-hooing
drowned, to the reporters’ ears, whatever else
he said.
The name of Mr. Akerman, who had been a
candidate for United States District ,Judge, and
who is at present United States District Attor
ney for Georgia, was suggested to him, and after
conferring, on Tuesday, with Judge Underwood,
who was a member of the thirty-sixth Congress,
and other Georgia Republicans as to the ability
and character of Mr. Akerman, the President
decided to nominate him as Attorney General.
The above is an extract from a Washington
special to the Courier-Journal, of Friday. We
refer to it for the purpose of inquiring who this
“Georgia Republican” Judge Umderwood is?
We know a Judge Underwood who was in Con
gress from the Rome district when the war com
menced, but we thought he was a Democrat. At
least Bullock put Kirby in his place on the
Bench. Is John after Kirby's place, by beating
him at his own game ? Or what is he after ?
We read a good story once about John’s father
one day at dinner time expressing utter igno
rance of John’s politics, as he hadn’t seen him
since breakfast, so if John turned up a Georgia
Bepublican at Washington last Friday, he may
turn up a Democrat in Atlanta next Friday.
Will the Rome Courier tell ns all about it,
Judge Longbtbeet and a Mr. Charles Ree-
inelin, of Cincinnati, are carrying on a contro
versy npon the subject of the Christian religion
—which proves that' both have a great dead of
time to waste. Argument on that subject was
exhausted when the Saviour died on the cross.
Terrific Storm In Florida.
The Columbus Snn, of Saturday, says:
A heavy tornado passed over Marianna,
Florida, last Sunday about 10 a. sl, so river
passengers report. The top of the dry goods
and grocery store of Fowler, Davis & Co., was
blown down, and the goods damaged by the rain
to the extent of $3,000. A chimney on Mr.
Tom White's residence was overturned, andall
his outhouses upset. Several dwellings were un
roofed or blown down. A wide lane was made
through the pine forests. At Neil’s lauding, on
the river, great trees were whirled around and
broken off. The large cotton warehouse on tho
hill was completely demolished, and the large
two-story hotel unroofed. The steamer Atlanta
was almost blown out of the river. She was
unable to land near the Julia St. Clair, which is
being used temporarily as a floating wharf at
Chattahoochee. The destruction to plantations
was immense. No lives lost or injured.

He Guts Ills Wife’s Throat and His
Own — Desperate Assault ou Citi
zens ami Policemen.
New York, June 17—John Duggan was to-day
discharged from the situation of night watchman
at the St. Cloud Hotel and went to a house where
his wife was engaged as servant and told her
that he had obtained a situation for her at the
St. Cloud Hotel.
While going through the street, Duggan drew
a razor and cut his wife’s throat from ear to ear,
and then pulled the razor across his own throat,
making a frightful wound. Passers by attempt
ed to disarm him, but he wildly rushed at them
and for a few moments the scene was appalling.
Two policeman attempted to take the razor
from him without avail. He finally threw down
the razor and began to throw stones, but being
defenceless, one of the officers hit him on the
head with a club. He was then with hi^ wife
token to the station house, atterwards they were
removed to Bellevue Hospital.
There is no possibility of Duggan’s life being
spared, but there is slight hope that his wife
may recover.
Both are natives of Ireland, and have been in
tins country only a few months.
The Case of Georgia.
A -Washington special to the Louisville Com
mercial, (Radical) of Friday, gives the following
version of how the Georgia question was dis
posed of by tho reconstruction committeo, which
differs very materially from the account sent
South by the Press.
The Georgia difficulty was settled to-day by
the reconstruction committee, it having been
agreed to submit the whole question to the
House, with tho statement that eight members
nre for Mr.,Farnsworth’s bill, which does, and
seven members for Mr. Butler’s, which does not.

Beabino Fruit.—Following'close onCroxton s
speech, at Paris, Ky., which we referred to a
few days ago, oomes tho news that it is, as we
anticipated, bearing its legitimate fruit of vio
lence and attempted bloodshed. In the Louis
ville Commercial—a Radical paper—of last Fri
day, we find the following paragraph:
Some colored men near Lexington were ill-
advised and inconsistent enough to attempt, on
last Saturday night, a little Ku-Klux discipline
on one of their race who had announced his
intention to vote the Demooratio ticket. Some
half dozen of them went to his house late at
night, burst open the door and fired guns or
pistols into his room with the evident design of
injuring him or his family. The party assault
ed, whose name is Ferdinand Robinson, instead
of running away, or surrendering and begging
for quarter, very promptly and resolutely met
the attack and opened such a hot fire upon his
assailants that they were glad enough to get
away. , r j •" •. ‘ ft ■ - ■ ’ •

Cotton Movements for the Week.
New York, June 19.—The cotton movements
for the week show light receipts, but exports
unusually large for the season. The receipts at
all the ports were 15,000 bales, against 17,995
last week—22,441 the previous week, and 30,737
bales three weeks since. The receipts at all the
ports from September 1st to date reach 2,800,478
bales, against 2,087,725 bales at the correspond
ing period of last year—showing an increase of
712,753 bales in favor of the present season.—
The exports from all ports for the week are 40,
330 against 22,962 last week and C,798 this week
of last year. The exports from all points from
September 1st to date are 2,022,824, against
1,400,905 for same time last year. The stock

actions for future delivery in new crops and at
the close, quotations were 18J to 19 cents for
September and October delivery.
In regard to the growing crop, advices gener-
’ ally are favorable.' In some sections there are
complaints that it is difficult to keep the fields
clear of grass, which the late rains have caused
to grow, but no serious apprehensions are felt
on this point. In nearly all directions the fields
are clean and the plant looks strong and healthy.

A Freak or the Wind in Montana—
A Man Sails Through the Air on
the Roof of a House.
Daring the past three weeks there has been a
succession of tornadoes in the valley at Deer
Lodge City, Montana, unpleasant as unprece
dented. They last from one to three hours, and
are succeeded by a perfect calm. Their general
direction is from northwest to southeast. The
width of the storm track is not over a mile, its
greatest violence being confined to a belt of 200
or 400 yards, crossing the valley diagonally a
short distance below town, and occasionally the
side current giving them a lively shaking up in
the village. The first two wasted their fury on
fences, trees, and moderate sized boulders, toss
ing them about like jack-straws, and, just by
the way of variety, wrenched a couple of logs
out of the Decker building, in the lower part of
the town. Bnt the third played a piece of dia
bolism not on the bills.
Mr. A. Elliott recently purchased tho Hall
farm on Cottonwood creek, a half mile from
town. It has on it a double log house, one story,
having a roof area of seventeen by forty feet.
On it there is a dirt roof. Mr. Elliott was en
gaged in roofing it with boards, and had it about
completed on Saturday when the storm began.
His son, a lad of a dozen years, was on ono cor
ner, and he on the oomb. As tbe whirlwind dip
ped he called to his son to jump down, and Mr.
Elliott clasped the comb projection of the boards
to prevent being blown to the ground. Just at
the instant the entire roof, rafters and all, was
lifted from the building, and raising with the
whirlwind, sailed away, attaining an altitude of
about forty feet at the greatest, and landing ono
hundred and eighty-nine feet lrom the honse,
where Mr. Elliott was dumped by the concus
sion ; the roof performed a somersault over him,
and was scattered in a thousand fragments over
the valley. Strange as it may appear, Mr. El
liott is only slightly bruised. The lad was un
injured, the board roof gliding out from under
him, leaving him sitting disconsolate on the dirt
reof, while his father was abandoning him at the
rate of sixty miles an hoar. When it is consid
ered that the roof contained 1200 feet of lum
ber, was nailed to heavy log rafters, and that
the whole affair was carried 189 feet intact,
some idea of the force of the whirlwind may be
obtained. The distance is given by Mr. Clagett,
who measured it immediately after the occur
rence. The escape of Mr. Elliott was a miracle.
A Desperate Indian Uses all the Eng'
lish Words at his Command:
From the Virginia (JVev.) Enterprise, May 31.
Our Piute Indians are of an inquiring tnmof
mind and always flock around at any street show,
where they will stand for hours stretching their
necks over the Shoulders of the white spectators,
drinking in through open eyes and mouths the
wonder before them. Sunday afternoon last
quite a crowd of white men and the usual sprin
kling of Piutes were gathered about anelectrical
machine which was in full blast near the corner
of C. and Union streets. Several whites had
bought two bits’ worth of the artificial lightning,
when a “big Injun,” whose raiment consisted
principally of a big turkey feather and a few
daub3 of red paint, marched np in a drove by
himself, like Baxter’s hog, and .became a cus
tomer to the peddler of home-made lightning.
He seized upon the handles of the machine, and
the man at the wheel began to grind. So deep
was the silence which reigned in the expectant
crowd that you might have heard the blowing
of a noise. Presently the painted warrior be
gan to exhibit signs of uneasiness. He evi
dently felt thrills and things—twitches, for in.
stance. His grim countenance became grim
mer, then grimmest. There was a fearful work
ing of his facial muscles; his eyes began to
goggle; the paint on his cheek-bones cracked
and fell off in flakes, he tried to drop the handles
of the machine, but they stuck fast to his Au
gers. “Hi-you 1” cried he, “no good-eel Stan
you mana! You stop-ee wagon—whoa haw;
G—dd—a!” Hereupon he began a wild sort
of war dance, his fingers still npon the keys of
the machine, as though playing an accompani
ment on the piano. “HiyoulG—dd—n! Do
’im small—me plenty two bit!” The “wagon”
being stopped, the “noble red man” made a
break through the crowd at a rapid rate. Upon
gaining a safe distance, he returned, and draw
ing himself up to his full height, with great dig
nity remarked aa follows: “Shoo, fly 1”
A Remarkable “Recommendation.”
The San Francisco Era gives a copy o!‘ a
peculiar certificate of character which one of
its editors gave to Emeline. It reads as fol
lows ;
“She has black eyes and black hair. When
ever she comes home from awake her eyes are
blacker, and sh" has less hair by three or four
handfuls. E_ciine is engaged, and her young
man is ihe most successful assimilator of but
ter, and sugar and milk that ever emigrated 1
from Ireland. He is equal to any demand of
this kind upon his stomach. Emeline has
been vaccinated, but it didn’t take. This is
the only thing about Emeline that we know of
that won’t take. Spoons take, and hemstitched
handkerchiefs take, and she can nail more pil
low cases and forks within a given time than
any other girl of the same size and weight in
the land of the free. ‘Her Sunday out’ comes
twice a week, and she can wash stockings in
the tea kettle more efficiently than any living
woman. Her way of taking care of the baby
is to hold it upside down by the leg until it
burst a blood-vessel; and if she washes win
dows she never sluices water down on the pave
ment unless a man is going by with a new hat
on; then she slings it around by the tin cup-
fall. Emeline’s most unDleasant peculiarity
is, that she always blows the gas out when she
goes to bed; but it is better to encourage this
practice, in 'the hope that she will suffocate
herself some night She would be much more
efficient as a good, quiet, docile corpse than as
a servant girl.” - -
This was “giving a character” with a ven
geance. But tho editor reckoned without his
host He confesses that this “recommend’.’
must have been shown to Emeline’s brother,
because the latter has been “sitting on our
front door-step with a discouraging clubfor a
week past, and we have gone in and out
through the alley-gate.”

The
Con*
Meanest Yankees are in
•a; , ni cllcut ,-
From a Speech by Anna J!. ITiddlebrook before a
Committee of the Connecticut Legislature.
Jessup Sherwood, of Fairfield, a widower with
two children, married a maiden lady owning a
farm worth $10,000. By our law he became her
truatoo, and he and her children lived upon her
property. She had in her possession some notes
whiclihe demanded, and which she refused to sur
render. Sho was taken before Judge Phelps, and
by our law sent to the Bridgeport jail, where
she remained ax months, vowing she would rot
there before giving up.the notes. An applica
tion for her release on habeas corpus was denied
by Judge Butler. "When she was in jail, her
husband lived in her house; his daughters were
married, and the money spent for the expenses
was hers; her money was used to procure coun
sel against her iu Court, and around the Legisla
ture to prevent the passage of the bill' granting
her a divorce. Such proceedings are a burning
shame to the lavra of Connecticut and nny civil
ized nation. J
A Brooklyn Sensation.—A mysterious
and heartless desertion is the sensation of the.
day in Brooklyn, Hew York. On Tuesday
morning a carriage containing two fashionably
dressed men and a beautiful and elegantly
dressed young lady, dashed up to a store in
one of the principal avenues, and the men,
handing the young lady in the store, politely
asked permission for her to remain there a
few minutes to await their return. The per
mission wa3 readily granted, hut they failed
to come back, and the lady was found to bo iu
a semi unconscious condition, evidently from
the effect of a powerful narcotic.. She had
apparently given recent birth to a child. She
is now under medieal treatment, and from the
ravings of her delirium, disconnected sen
tences are heard, which hint at the the perpe 7
tration of a dread outrage. No clue has yet
been obtained by the police force to the iden
tity or whereabouts of her inhumane deser
ters, and the' whole affair remains enveloped
in mystery.
An Audacious Piece of Brigandish. — The
store of Ellerbe & "Watson, in Marion Dis
trict, South Carolina, was regularly sacked on
the 4th by a band of outlaws, supposed to be
whites, from Robeson county, North Carolina.
They surrounded the store, secured visitors and
proprietors and imprisoned them in the count
ing room, while they took horses from the
neighborhood to carry off tho booty. They
made good their retreat with the spoil.
The Suez Canal.—It is reported by cable
that the obstructions in the Suez Canal, near
Lake Timash, have been effectually removed.
It is now manifest to all the world that the Suez
Canal is a complete success. It has opened np
a new channel of prosperity to all the people
that border on the Mediterranean. It is the in
terest of all the nations to keep it open; and we
may rest assured that it will become more and
more the highway of commerce between Europe
and the far East. The Suez Canal promises to
restore Egypt to something of her anoient im
portance.—jY. T. Herald.

A Ceremonious Judge.—Judge K
of North Carolina, is a great stickler for forms.
One day a soldier who had been battered con
siderably in the war was brought in as a wit
ness. The Judge told him to hold up his
right hand.
“Can’t do it, sir,” said the man.
“Why not?”
“Got a shot in that arm, sir.”
“Then hold up your left.” ?
The man said he had got a shot in that arm
too.,
‘‘Iben,” saidthe Judge sternly, “you must
hold up your leg. No inan oan be sworn, ar,

thing!”
