Newspaper Page TextTelegraph and Messenger MACON, APRIL 18, 1871. The Blodgett Case. The Senate Tuesday laid tlxe Blodgett and Goldthwaite case on the table, and the dispatch says it will not probably come np again this session. Congress meets again the first Mon day in December, and the Legislature of Geor gia will meet the first Wednesday in November next Perhaps the Senate has left the matter open in order to admit of a choice between Blodgett and a legally elected successor to Dr. Miller. They evidently don’t want to seat Blodgett, and perhaps might seat a Democrat not personally unweloome, in preference to Blodgett We can only conjecture how that maybe. At all events, the Legislature will doubtless, make an election, and send on claimant If the Senate don't like him they may seat Blodgett; or perhaps invent some contrivance for keeping the question open for tho chances of another State election. Their ways are as dark and their tricks as vain as But ler describes those of Speaker Blaine. The Vote for Congressmen In Con nectfent. From the Tribune, of Saturday, we gather these facts: In the First Connecticut District in 18C9, Strong, Radical, had73C majority over Dixon, Democrat; in 1871, Strong had 247 majority over Goodrich, Democrat, showing Radical loss of 489 in that district. In the Second District in 1869, Kellogg, Radical, had 424 majority over Babcock, Democrat; in 1871 Kellogg had 23 majority over Kendrick, Demo crat, showing a Radical loss of 401 in that dis trict. In the Tbird District, in 1869, Stark weather, Radical, had 2,399 majority over Con verse, Democrat; in 1871, Starkweather had 1,465 majority over Steadman, Democrat, show ing a Radical loss of 934 in that district In the Fonrth District Baroum, Democrat, had 1,170 majority over Beard, Radical; in 1871 Barnnm had a majority over Coifing, Radical of 1,076, showing a Democratic loss of 94 in that district. If the trooly loil can find any ground for hur rahing over these figures—1824 Radical loss against 94 Democratic loss—why let them howL Seal Hunting.—A St Johns correspondent of the New York Sun, reports extraordinary success is seal hunting. The steamship Nim rod bad arrived with a cargo of 28,000 seals. A few hours after, the Hector came in with 21,500. She left more than fifty vessels be hind all laden or rapidly filling np. Eleven vessels had arrived at St Johns with a total catch of 231,000 Eeals and over a hundred ves sels were due. At Harbor Grace 100,000 seals had been delivered and 150 vessels were out Each steamship carried 500 men and their average earnings so far were about $1,500. All Newfoundland was rejoicing in such extraordi nary wealth and running over with seal oil and gladness. - Bbutal Assassination'.—The Mobile Regis ter, of Sunday, gives the particulars of a brutal assassination occurring tho day before at Whis tler, on the Mobile and Ohio railroad, some distance above Mobile. The victim was a Dr. L. 8. Martinez, who, while sitting in his office reading, was shot by a man named George Hahn, of Quitman, Miss., who, with Charles Gage and Dr. Jere Saunders, of tho samoplace, has been arrested and put in jail at Mobile. Martinez was shot through the heart, one of his arms broken, and ho was also wounded in the head. An undergraduate at Cambridge, who, the Boston Advertiser says, found among the ques tions on his examination paper this: ‘ ‘Why will sot a pin stand npon its point ?” elaborately explained the point thus: 1. A pin will not stand on its head; muoh less is it possible that it Should stand on its point. 2. A point, accord ing to Euclid, is that which has no parts and no magnitude. A pin cannot stand on that which has no parts and no magnitude, and, therefore, a pin cannot stand on its point. 3. It will if yon stick it in. Gebmt Surra has been to Washington to mend the breaches of the Radical party—but, they say, without much promise of success. He was to try his hand on Sumner last Friday night. Sumner’s breaches with Grant can’t be mended with anything less adhesive than cobbler’s wax. Grant’s breaches with Sumner are rough-edged and inexorable. Darning them won’t do, though many a Yankee Radical has cried “dam it all” over them. On the whole, Gerrit Smith’s little job at tailoring is likely to be unsuccessful. Tke High Commission.—Tho Western tele grams say there is high authority for the state ment that the fishery question and also the question of the Alabama claims have already been so far disposed of as to be no longer mat ters of disouBsion at the sessions of the Com. mission. Indeed the bams of agreement have already been secured, which will probably be satisfactoiy to the representatives of both coun tries. A Chicago paper says: “Kate writes from Bridgeport, Conn., to a Boston weekly journal, saying: ‘I married where I did not love, and now I love where I cannot many, o, what shall I do!’ ” And that stupid Chicago paper doesn’t have sense enough to answer the conun drum, as it obviously was intended to be an swered thus: “Come to Ghioago and get a divorce.” Handsome Castes.—Messrs. Brown & Go. send ns some specimens of very handsome colored card photographs, gotten up at Rich mond, and having for their subjeots “General Lee at the tomb of Jackson,” “In Memoriam,” and a very fine likeness of Gen. Lee himself. They are very well done and will make an at tractive feature in an ( album. The Connecticut Election.—The Hartford Times counts np the official returns thus: Eng lish 47,491; Jewell 47,450—total 94,941. Eng lish’s majority is 41 votes, and the Times says of the scattering votes a majority will have to be oounted for English. The total vote in 1870 was 87, 413. In 1869 it was 90,865. It will be seen that Connecticut did her best. An Old Lade.—The Petersburg Courier tells of Mrs. Lucy Spain, living on Plum street in that city, who was born the 24th of December, 1767, and is now 104 years old, with bodily and mental faculties quite vigorous. Her memory is wonderfully tenacious and accurate. A note from Thomas ton says, “your valuable paper is being more appreciated daily.” Glad to hear it. Upson county is where we like to range. It is a fine, healthy part of tho great moral vineyard. Columbus Cotton Receipts footed np on Mon day night 71,962, with a stock on hand of 7,325. Last year, at same date, 62,668 with a stock on hand amounting to 12,344 bales. The Richmond chain-gang is reported thirty- five strong, busy in breaking rooks for the streets. The Virginia wheat * reported to be looking remarkably well. Minna an. —Large Democratic gains are re ported in the late local elections in Michigan. Deied Faurr.—Richmond did $150,000 busi- naaa in dried fruits last year. Tbe Story of Grant and Grinnell. Among the many New York politicians and “bloated bond-holders” who “legged” for Grant in 1868, no one was more zealous and conspicu ous than Mr. Moses H. Grinnell, of that city. He had feathered his nest quite warmly during the war by army contracts and trooly loil jobs ^ Q (<g£Yo the life of the nation, of course— and jumped at the scheme gotten np by A. T. Stewart and others to put Grant under obliga tions by making him presents, then have him nominated and elected President, and then come in for a lot of fat things in the way of official place and patronage. If our memory is not at fault, Grinnell went $1,000 even, on that house in Washington City. Well, Grant was elected, and Grinnell was made Collector of Customs at New York. He hold that office for a year or so, and then Grant chopped off his head because he (Grinnell) was supposed to be a Senator Fenton “man,” while Grant was a Senator ConkhDg “man” Fenton being disposed to have a mind and a will of his own, while Conkling was one of Grant s most obsequious and industrious lick spittles. Grin nell’s friends, however, made such a row that Grant popped him into the Naval Office to soothe them. But Conkling licked away harder than ever, and now poor old Grinnell has to take up his bed and travel again, to make room for a Conk- lingite. The nomination of Ins successor was up in the Senate last Friday, and great opposi tion was made to the change. The Sun says: A paper was passed around among tfie Repub lican Senators in the handwriting of Mr. Grin nell. showing that he had collected for the Presidential campaign of 1868 $100,000. . A letter was also shown to a few Senators which. Mr. Grinnell has just written to the President, in which he said ho was grieved to find himself removed from office which he had held but a short time, without a word of complaint from any one as to tho manner in which he had per formed bia duties, and without any notice that tho place was wanted for any one else; that since he had held it be had given more to secure the success of the Republican party than the pay of his office, and but a few days ago had given $1,000 to help save Connecticut. Twenty-two Radical Senators refused to vote on it, but the nomination was at last confirmed. Really, it does seem that no amount of money or favors in the past can give any substantial vitality to the virtue of gratitude in our beloved President’s breast. To keep in with him, it Seems necessary never to allow the golden stream of presents toBtop for one moment. We are firmly persuaded that had the headless Grinnell sent that $1000 to the White House instead of to Connecticut, it would hare been all secure with him this morning. Let his fate bo a warning to all office-holders. When you have anything to spend for the party just divide it and draw your check for the larger half in fa vor of the head of the party. That will save you—unless somebody that wants your place goes a few dollars better. Nothing New Under the San. When Old King Solomon said, in the way of a general proposition, “there is nothing new under the sun,” he came muoh nearer the literal truth than many suppose. It is the favorite boast ef the literary, philosophical, political and philanthropic schemers and theorists of the day that the “world moves,” and is really get ting a great deal better very fast; but Old Sol omon was right, and so is that other stereotyp ed maxim, to the same purpose, that “history is continually repeating itself.” There are the same old Red3 of ’92 and '93 reproduced in Paris—the genuine stock—as like their great grandfathers in all the elements of ‘pure cussedness” as two peas. A set of red mouthed, radical thieves—lapping blood like a butcher’s dog—undertaking to dethrone God Almighty, and to set up their devilish saturna lias of cruelty and license as an apothesis of reason, liberty and natural religion. Hear those miserable hounds of the Commune, arresting priests and nuns under warrants as “citizens serving the person called God,” stripping the venerable ArchbiBhop Dupanloup naked and flogging him in the streets, on a demand that he shall produce a million of francs. Sacking the ehorches and plundering public and private establishments of every kind. In less time than their progenitors took, these fellows would, like them, turn Paris into one great slanghter-house of all good and decent people. In a month they would have the guillotine busy as ever it was in the days of Robespierre and Danton. Are these people any better than the Revolutionists of ’93 ? No, not a particle. And where on the faoe of the wide earth will yon show anything more than mere material improvements in that era? We travel faster, shoot farther and quicker, and send news by lightning; but these improvements energize the hand of tyranny and blood, as well as that of justice, benevolence and sympathy. More people were murdered and more property despoiled in war last year, than in any year of the world since its creation. There never was time when reason, humanity, justice and mercy, were more outraged than in this boasted 19th century, and if we can claim that the agencies of benevolenoe are more active, we can assert with greater force that those of mis chief, crime and misery have a still greater ac celeration of speed and potency. Cotton Facts and Figures. The cotton receipts since 1st September footed up on Friday night 3,383,081 bales, against 2,443,9S6 bales for the same period of 1869-70— showing an increase, since September 1st of this year, amounting to 939,095 bales. The total reoeipts of last week were 69,832 bales, against 42,490 the same week last year—show ing an increase of 27,342 bales. The reoeipts, therefore, though falling off rapidly, keep up about the same per ceutage of excess over last year, and that per centage is more than 83J. Applying the rate of one-third increase the bal- anoe of the year, we Bhonld have 947,946 bales yet to come in np to the night of the 31st Au gust, 1871; and that would make the crop of 1870-71 foot up 4,331,027 bales. This is mar velous, but probably not far from the truth. The last year, as one of our farmers remarked, was indeed “a mighty cotton year.” Sales of futures in New York run into next September on a gradually reducing scale down to 14& on a basis of low middlings, which would allow the general range here about 11 to l3o. The New York Commercial and Financial Chronicle of last Friday says about the growing crop: “As to the extent of tho planting, ouradvioes do not at present indicate any decided falling off. There has been an increased acreage put under food products, and a muoh less amount of fertilizers have been used.” The cotton in sight on Friday night last, amounted to 2,116.581 bales, against 1,495,199 hales at the same date last year—showing an exoess of 621,382 bales. Mr. Davis and the Radicals. Hon. Jefferson Davis lately said a few words at Selma in response to some seren&ders, in whioh he expressed the opinion that the govern ment would, in time, revert to the State Rights principles of the Constitution. The speech seems to have set the Northern Radicals frantic. They jump about as lively as if their pockets were full of yellow jacketa. It is another re bellion and a good deal more so. Sharpen your bayonets, ye gentle North, and let there be no more New Hampshire victories. .That, like Boll Bun, will rouse Northern loyalty to its mightiest deeds. The Herald pours out two columns of trash on the subject ’worthy of Ben Butler. Grant seems to have waxed that political flea so that he sticks to an idea as long as a month ata time. What Is aScallawagT This question was asked and answered by that apostle of Radicalism, the chronic smiler, Colfax, at the serenade to the cleanly Morton last Saturday night at Washington City. He said: What is a “scallawag?” A scallawag is a Sonthem-bom man, who, when the storm-cloud of rebellion broke upon this country, and when it raged around him, and threatened him with exile or confiscation, or outrage or murder, dared to stand up in the midst of the storm, anc i say, “As for me and mine, we stand by the Union to the last drop of our blood and the last beat of our hearts.” God bless the men whom our opponents stigmatize as scallawags. (Cheers.) They were faithful among the faith ful ; they were loyal amid treason, and if the American people do not protect them, not only against their murderous enemies, but iu the ex* excise of every right guaranteed to all by the Constitution, we are not worthy to be called a nation. (Applause.) That is nearly as good a definition of scalla wag as was that of a crab by the French savans, whom the naturalist, Cuvier, so completely put to shame. Colfax don’t know the breed as we do down here, and his definition is not only a piece of spread eagle demagogueism character istic of the man, but utterly at war with facts. For his information and that of those who really believed he was speaking some part of the truth, we will tell him what a Georgia scallawag say, is. He is a man who, if particularly loil now, was particularly violent in his hate of the Yan kees and his desire for their extermination, even before the war commenced. He believed in the African slave trade and wished it reopened. He wanted to secede before breakfast, yea even before he had swallowed his first matutinal cocktail, and his favorito boast was that he could whip five Yankees single-handed, and not half try. He wanted to crucify every man that thought secession might not prove a remedy for every evil, and wore blue cockades, and had spasms of purest bliss when Joe Brown captured Fort Pulaski and the Augusta Arsenal. He abused the Confederate Generals for not march ing on and capturing Washington, Philadelphia, New York and Boston in thirty days, and in every other way, shape and form proved, to his own satisfaction, that if there was any such thing as a genuine Southern patriot and true blue enemy to the Yankees, he was the man. All this up to Appomattox. Then he had newlight He dreamed dreams, and saw visions. He saw that Southern patriotism was a losing card, and that the hated Yankees were going to hold all the trumps. Then he fell down and grovelled at their feet. Then he confessed his sins and wailed for pardon. He had been lead off—he had been swept from his feet by tbe surging tide of popular passion—he had been forced by the pressure of publio opinion to conceal bis real sentiments—he had been co erced and had yielded to save his life and pro perty. Oh! how unctuously horecounted all hia past trials and tribulations, and how pathetio the recital of his emotions when he saw the “old flag” once more unfurled in triumph over his head! When “reconstruction” was decreed he rushed to embrace its infamies. He made haste to join himself in close alliance with all the peripatetic rogues and adventurers from the North who followed in its wake, and the ignorant, brutal semi-barbarians for whose benefit it was set on foot. He eat and slept and talked with, and cajoled and inflamed them by day and by night. He sneaked around backyards and through al leys, and about the plantation negro quarters, telling the darkies of their rights hndwhata marvellously proper man he was to represent them. He sat in the so-called Constitutional Convention and had a finger in all sorts of jobs, and when there was a so-oalled Legislature and so-called State Government, he was high up in one or the other,.and sold his vote and influ ence, and filled Ms pockets from the people’s strong box with the most refreaMng zeal. He approves every outrage that Radical villainy and hate has put upon his neighbors and fellow- citizens^ and declares they have fared muoh better than their deserts. He calls them “reb els,” and thinks disfranchisement and bayonets the only way to deal with them. When out of job at home he rushes to Washington with tho most horrible aocounts of outrages on loil men, and insists upon being sworn as a witness before committee ata comfortable per diem, or free lunch and liquor at the very least. This is about the measure of the average Southern scallawag, Colfax to the contrary not withstanding. Fancy the truthful Blodgett and the immaculate Whitely, listening to such bosh as their standing “by tho Union to the lastdrop of-their blood and the last beat of their hearts"— Captain Blodgett, of the Blodgett artillery, C. S. A., and Major WMtely, the gallant oom- manderof “rebel” sharpshooters—red hot seces sionists and still more fieiy Confederates. If Colfax hadn’t told such a whopper in Ms defini tion, it would have been the champion joke of the season. War Powers Under the Constitution. We have received from Bee & Shephard, Bos ton, through Brown & Co., of this city, a copy of a huge volume of nearly 700 pages entitled as above, and boasting as its author one Wil liam Whiting, who was law jackal to Stanton when that wicked man was Secretary of War. WMting held the position of Solicitor to the department, and we suppose was expected to furnish some show of legal authority for the most monstrous violations of laws and consti tutions when Stanton deemed such necessary. He seems to have done his work well, and this book Is the result. According to WMting every thing that was done during the war, and that has been done since, by the Radical conspira tors who have seized the government, is not only right in itself, hat has abundant warrant in the Constitution. WMting has made no rep utation either as a lawyer or honest citizen by writing such a book, and if he has any children and they have any regard for his reputation, they will, after his death, get together every copy of it and have a bonfire. The day is coming when even this servile tool to the most monstrous usurpation and despotism that ever cursed the world, and all Ms like, will be ashamed of their infamy. Senator Joshua HW. It is alleged that Mr. Hill did not vote, either on the resolution authorizing the appointment of an “Outrage Committee,' or npon the Ku- kluxbUL ’ We regret this cMefly for Mr. Hill’s own sake. We had a right to expect that he would be in Ms place, and vote against the last named meas ure, since it is not such as can be approved by enlightened Republicans in Georgia. We quote as above, from the Atlanta Era of yesterday. It is not onr province to defend Mr. Hill from the strictures of Ms political friends in Georgia, but we do say that, in Ms place in the Senate, he has made a manly and characteristic defence of his neighbors and fel low citizens against the shameful slanders of such papers as the Era. And as no direct vote has yet been taken on the Kn-klux bill in the Senate, wo cannot see how it oan be “alleged’ against him that he ban failed to put himself on the record with reference to that measure. Be tween Mr. Hill and the Era and its special friends and backers, the people of Georgia can have no difficulty in choosing. Mosquitoes are represented to swarm in such clouds around Memphis thus early, as to scare the river pilots, who mistake swarms for a black storm-cloud. They make terrible havoo with their Ku-klux bills, and shed blood remorse- leaaly. This makes Bluff City very lively. 1 THE GEORGIA PRESS. F. B. Thomason has been elected Mayor, and E. W. Thrasher, F. B. Martin, A. S. Hough and N. B. Atkinson, Conncilmen of Madison. The Madison Farm Journal says a family in that place have in “their possession a mess chest belonging to the United States gunboat Water Witch, which was captured by the Con federates, in Osabaw Sound, below Savannah, during the late “onpleasantness.” - We quote as follows from the last Talbotton Standard: A Sharp Thick—A House and Buggy Stolen —The Thief is Caught and Gets Away.—A young man who had been living with Mr. El bert Williams, near Centerville, in this county, but zeoently left M3 employer and concluded to get a horse out of his neighbor’s stable, while the owner was asleep at night last week, and riding over to Mr. David Lockhart’s plantation hitched his horse to Ms bugy. In the morning it was discovered that his buggy was missing. Mr. Lockhart, immediately dispatched Mr. Spinks in pursuit. Spinks supposing the thief had gone in the direction of Buena Vista, made the dirt fly till he reached the above town, where Ms pony gave out “Have you seen anybody go through town with a certain horse and buggy?” inquired Spinks. “Yes,” said a citizen, “about a half an hour ahead of yon.” A fresh horse was immediately offered Spinks, with the re mark, “That horse’s bottom has never been found, put him through until'the thief is caught. In an hour Spinks presented a pistol to the fellow’s face, and one Marshall Harris, the young man alluded to as having lived at Mr. Elbert Williams’ was overhauled. While bring ing the thief, horse and buggy back, Harris es caped, and is supposed now to be on Ms way to Texas. ANew Idea.—One of Talbot county’s best farmers gives os a new idea aboat guano sacks. He says, after you are through distributing their contents, cut the sacks into small strips and lay them along in the bottom of the farrow, to make the largest and best cotton. Cotton planting has commenced in Talbot county. We think the acreage will favor com. Wheat and oats never looked better. The Colored Missionary Baptist State Conven tion will meet at Atlanta on the 24th of May next. The people of Buford, on the Air Line Railroad, think they have diamonds in that neighborhood, and in consequence have quit eating and sleeping. There were two fires and two false alarms of fire at Atlanta Monday night. In one case a bar-room on Peters street was burned, causing a loss of $400, and in the other four wooden shanties on the corner of Baker and Peachtree streets were destroyed. Loss $3,500 and no in surance. Daring the fire a bombshell exploded in one of the shanties, but hurt no one. In going to the fire the engine of the Tallulah com pany ran over and badly crushed the foot of a •young man named Wylie, and seriously injured Mr. Israel Guntz. The Constitution, of yesterday, says: Atlanta About to Lose One of Her Faibest Daughtebs.—We have received an invitation to attend, to-night, at half past seven o’clock, at the Second Baptist Church, the marriage ceremony of Miss Louise Brantly, the daughter of the popular and eloquent Baptist pastor, Dr. Wm. T. Brantly, and Colonel John L. Morehead of Charlotte, North Carolina. Wo deem it not inappropriate to say, that we echo the general sentiment, in the society of Our sooial city, when we express profound re gret that Atlanta is about to lose this one of her fairest daughters. Perhaps no young lady has been better and more favorably known, in the refined circles of any Southern city, and has been more widely admired for her beauty, ac complishments and intrinsic worth, and rare loveliness of character than Miss B. Well and gracefully said, Colonel. We are proud to be able to endorse it every word. No lovelier flower was ever transplanted from Georgia soil to bloom in thst of North Carolina or any other State. These raids should be stoppe d, though. PrizeB like this must be kept at home. We can forgive Col. M., however, knowing him to be as near worthy of such rare good fortune as any “horrid” man of our ac quaintance. May the future prove a veritable Arcadia for both these happy hearts. W. G. McAdoo, of Milledgeville, has been ap pointed Judge of tbe District Court for the 20 th district, and Milo G. Hatch, of Sandersville, Solicitor. The Rev. R. W. B. Elliott, son of the late Bishop Stephen Elliott of this Diocese, was or dained as a minister in the Episcopal Church by Bishop Bepkwith, last Sunday, at Savannah. CoL James Nicholson, one of the first settlers of Putnam county, and a most estimable and respected citizen, died at Eatonton last Sunday, in the 78th year of Ms age. The Augusta Presbytery meets at Eatonton to-day. A protracted meeting in the Presbyte rian church of that place has been iu progress for a week, and much interest is manifested. Crop prospeots in Baldwin county are very promising—especially for wheat and other small grain. Mrs, Amanda Thomas, wife of Mr. Henry Thomas, of Milledgeville, died last Thursday. Mr. John A. Orme, of Milledgeville, had his watch, valued at $200, stolen from his vest pock et last Friday, by two small Afrioans aged aboat nine years each, who immediately sold it for fifty cents. The Federal Union, of Tuesday, says a negro man named Lewis Beall shot and wounded his wife in the shoulder and abdomen last Saturday, and then shot himself through both lungs. His evident intention was murder, and then suicide. Jealousy was at the bottom of it. Both parties were alive Tuesday morning, but the man’s re covery was considered doubtful. Hancock Superior Court has been adjourned to the 1st Monday in June. Dogfights, runaway horses, Lydia Thomp son’s burlesquers are the latest sensations in Augusta. The latter greatly disappointed some of the folks down there by not being “unusual ly piquant,” and by wearing “Mgh necked dresses.” There has been a very heavy run of shad in the Savannah river, near Augusta, within the last week. About 1000 were on sale at the mar ket house Monday morning, at prices ranging from 30 to 75 cents. The Chronicle and Sentinel of Tuesday says A private letter from Rabun informs us that an arrangement can now be made, upon favor able terms, for the purchase of all that portion of the Blue Ridge Road witMn the confines of Georgia wMch is graded, and culverts, for the most part, constructed, and the charter for that part aligned in North Carolina. A railroad con nection with the beautiful valley of the Little Tennessee, wMoh would bring Augusta near to the grain region and coal region of East Ten nessee, is that wMch every active business man in the city desires. Two routes are proposed, one by the extension of the Georgia Railroad from Athens; the other the Augusta and Hart well, following the line of the valley of the Sav annah River. Eaoh of these projects possess a warrant for liberal State aid, but popular opin ion seems to have settled down to the belief that no encouragement will be given by the Georgia Railroad and Banking Company to the projaot for extending its Athens branch to Clayton. The Augusta and Hartwell Railroad has been revived under new bands, and is asserted that it will be reorganized in a very short while un der a head that will merit the confidence of the public—the head of the old organization having ! eft for parts beyond the seas. A letter from Griffin, dated Tuesday llth inst. says, that Geo. W. Waddy, agent of the Macon add We stern Railroad at Griffin, is $2,300 short in his aocount with the road, so far as they have been examined, and Intimates that the amount may foot up much more than that before the investigation is concluded. Mrs. Foster Blodgett is desperately ill at Washington, and news of her death was expect ed to be received in Atlanta, Tuesday night. The Atlanta Constitution of yesterday has the following: . The Wedding.—Last night the Second Bap tist Church was filled with the elite of Atlanta, to witness the marriage of Mias Louise D’An- tignao Brantly, daughter of Rev. W. T. Brantly, D. D., to CoL John L. Morehead, of Charlotte, North Carolina. Every seat was filled, and the aisles and vestibule crowded. China Berries as a Fertiliser.
