ser 8§ys ex-SeoatprOIay was in that city last
Monday, representing the Life Association of
America.
Guar Turn Owcf the Internationals.—
At the great parade of the Communists, to come
off in New York city, the loth test., they boast
that they will show fifty thousand men in solid
column. .

meg Darien Negroes seem to have set up a
High Court of Admiralty with the idea of tak
ing possession of every craft, domestic and for
eign, which enters their delectable port. They
are. a gay set of fellows.
Within the past year the Interdict has been
raised from beer and lager in Boston, and the
result is the consumption of 383,435 barrels ale
and 58,005 of lager, at a cost of three million
dollars. What thirsty pilgrims!
The Now OdeanB Dnnn Badicals have started
a new paper called the “Mitrailleuse." The
name refers to f b« Gatlin guns posted before
Grant’s Custom-house Convention. They are
the original of the French “mitrailleuse.”
Cuops in At.htim'a-—The Greensboro’ (Ala.)
Beacon, on the authority of a gentleman who
has just travelled over the cotton belt of Ala
bama, says tho present crop will make no more
of the staple than now hangs on tho stalk.
Bust, boll and army worms will finish np the
remainder.
The President flits into Washington to hold
n Cabinet meeting about once a fortnight and
summons three or four of the fugitive Cabinet
to his aid. They meet and vanish like a dream.
Sometimes the reporters don’t know that ho has
been there. At other times it leaks out and they
telegraph the fact.
The blondes aro after Grant. Miss Lydia
Bung, last Friday night at Wallack’s, tho popu
lar song, “If ever I cease to love,” and inter
polated a verse ns follows:
“If ever I cease to love,
. If over I cease to Iovo,
May Grant return the lot
Of the presents that he’s got,
If over I cease to love.”
This, says the Sun, “brought down the
house” in n tumult which lasted half a minute.
Steam Boiler Slaughters.—The Montgom
ery Advertiser says, “by the bursting of steam
boilers in various parts of tho world during the
last twenty-seven days, there have been 1426
hilled and injured. And strange to say tho
most fatal of all the accidents have occurred on
the Sabbath day. Was it all “accident”? or
was there a warning in it?
Montgomery Items.—The Advertiser says oui
lone white man and thirty-seven darkies mak‘
up the occupants of the county jail of Mont
gomery county. Eleven bales of new crop cot
ton were received on Monday. Numerous dis
gusted farmers were in town on Monday, from
various surrounding counties. The Advertiser
says “there is no doubt of the fact that the
crops in this section are seriously and hopeless
ly damaged.”
What is a Capitalist ?—What amount of
money dooms a man to death as a “bloated cap
italist” and an enomy of the people ? The Lon
don Internationals havo settled on the precise
sum—five hundred thalers or §305 in our cur-
renoy. Therefore, if any working man is so
foolish as to lay by a dollar per day out of the
labor of the year, he puts himself within the
proscribed class and is a “vessel of wrath” de
voted to destruction, and his assets are to be
invested in lager and whisky for the brethren
of the aommune.
Woman’s Bights.—Martha Perry Lowe—a
sensible woman in the Old and New, says that
woman cannot suooeed in the “work of self-
emancipation in antagonism to men.” They
may get “their rights,” and then find them not
worth having. The right to antagonise men in
the political arona—at the bar and in polemics
—the right to perform severe mental and phys
ical labor, in either case physically deforming—
tho right to have big bones, rough skins and
hard hands, is jnst simply the right to enter
into a competition where success is impossible
at the sacrifice of her great and peculiar element
of strength.
Crueltt to Animals.—The Commercial Ad
vertiser says there is no other place on the globe
where horses are so crnelly used as in New York.
That, wo snppose, may be trae. Tho omnibus
and street car companies were said to operate
on the hypothesis that it was cheaper to use up
a horse by overwork in three years than to keep
on adequate number. But, nevertheless, the
horses were fed—they were not starved to death.
Now, in these piping days of African freedom
starvation is the inevitable doom of tho gallant
steed in Maoon. To-day, he is harnessed to a
lady’s oarriage with lustrous trappings, and is
pampered with attention and high feeding.—
By and by, ho descends to meaner occupations,
and at last, Jaok Suffrage gets him for a ten
dollar bilL He is tied with a rope harness to a
crazy wagon and employed by daylight in haul
ing wood to town at a dollar a load, while at
night he bronses around among weeds and
brambles. In three months he drops dead by
tho roadside and is left a sacrifice to the buz
zards. That is the fate awaiting all our gallant
steeds, unless they are fortunate enough to die
in their prime.
The Mobile Holocaust—The Kegister prints
minute details of the awfnl catastrophe at Point
Clear last Sunday. The main facts have already
been given in our telegrams. One of the wit
nesses says:
There was a large number of Creole girls on
board, only one of whom escaped. I noticed a
party of young ladies—all strangers—in charge
of a young man from the city. I saw them all
blown up. I saw one of the young ladies np in
tho air. I estimate the ions in killed and
wonnded at about 70.
Another witness says:
I was sitting in the eastern end of the hotel
piazza, about sixty yard3 from the boat. A
young girl, one of the passengers; attracted my
attention by her tardy movement towards the
boat. She was walking very slowly, though the
boat was abont to put off. She seemed to hes
itate and look back. Then she started forward
at a quicker paoe, and was abont 40 yards from
the boat, when the explosion occurred. In
that case there was safety in delay, for a half
minnte more, and she wonld have reached the
fatal spot. The boat gave ont a queer, hissing
sonnd, for some time before the explosion.
Then came the report, followed by a rumbling,
hissing sonnd. Fragments of timber and metal
flew in all directions. The fore-part of the
boat and cabin were completely carried away.
The ohimney fell towards the stem of the
boat crushing the upper cabin. The boat
immediately sank, with her bow submerged.—
The tide was rather high, and tho depth
of water aronnd the boat was not less than
about seven feet. I knew, in a moment, that it
must be a groat disaster, and I hurried to the
spot to see what I could do for the victims. I
met a wild, surging orowd of oons to mated sur
vivors harrying from the scone, some wild with
grief at the loss of relatives. Jnst under the
boat were several persons, some swimmiDg,
some holding on to pieces of floating timber, and
some who could not swim, alternately rising and
sinking, soon to perish if help came not. Hard
ly a boat was to be bad, until too late to rescue
the drowning. The gueets of the hotel and the
residents turned out in a body, and rendered
every possible assistance. Large numbers of
boats were hurried to the soene, bnt they arrived
too late to save the drowning. All was over
with them in Icbs than five minutes. * * *
The number of passengers of the Wave, is
only conjectural, and so is the number of the
lost Bnt the boat was certainly crowded, and
ifc-is safe to estimate the number aboard at over
two hundred. Very many of these *ere chil
dren/and many little hats and bonnets came
ashore to tell the tale of the little victims be
neath the waves. How many were lost, it is
impossible to know. The number will proba
bly never be accurately known. . ^S
The same witness says, the boiler was not so
much exploded as tom-open with a long seam.
It was so rotten as literally, to tear open. The
Advertiser gives the following incident editori
ally: v-S r i ■ —jt— !
Happy and Unconscious.—Among the many
scen£3-incident to _tha.blowing. np.of the Ocean
Wave: we turn from those of a harrowing nature
to note that of a little babe about seven months
of age, who was found immediately after the
accident jammed in between two heavy beams,
kicking up its little heels and smiling amid the
dreadful carnage, perfectly happy and uncon
scious. In this condition it was found by its
agonized mother, who was rushing frantioally
abont, supposing her infant to be lost.
A Dangerous Experiment.
According to the Versailles telegram of yes
terday, the French National Assembly has de
clared itself “a constituent body” by a vote of
433 to 227. This step was taken amid great ex
citement, during which tho President put his
hat upon his head. The minority atra canons
over which Gambetta presided, found itself so
much divided that the movement for a dissolu
tion of the Assembly has been abandoned.
The assumption of constituent or organio pow
ers by the Versailles Assembly, is the assumption
of the right to establish a permanent govern
ment, and must have been made with the full
intention to exercise those powers, or it is as
idle fnlmination. Our memory is at fault if the
same Assembly has not very often Bince its or
iginal organization at Boordeanx, declined to
assume these powers, and declared, through
prominent representatives of the majority, in
debate, that it did not possess them. In point
of historical fact, it was created for no such pur
pose. It was elected during a truce, while
France was virtually at the feet of Germany, for
the single purpose of concluding terms of peace.
The revolt of the Communists made it necessary
to protract and enlarge the powers of tho As
sembly and of the executive it had been forced,
as a necessary incident,' to extemporize; bnt it
was never pretended doting the civil war that
this Assembly had either the power or design to
establish a permanent government for France/
On tho contrary, it was charged as the highest
crime of the Communists, that they plunged the
conntiy into the agonies of a civil war without
awaiting a plebisoitnm which shonld determine
the character of the future government.
The usurpation will, therefore, awaken a very
violent antagonism to the Assembly among the
French people. It will concentrate against it
for a lime all animosities, however antagonistic
in theiucharaoter, and most probably disperse
it at last by popular or military fc5Te« s It will
be the signal for another violent revolution?
that probably in the course of a few weeks.

Our Street Railroad.
The street in front of the Brown House and
Spotswood hotel, presents a busy and stirring
appearance at present, from the swarms of
workmen who are engaged in sawing off and
planting the cross-ties, preparatory to laying the
iron of the track, which is already distributed
along the line. At first an experiment, it hss
at length been demonstrated in practice, that
street railroads, beside affording tho cheapest
and most pleasant mode of transportation to
the people, are in themselves highly profitable
investments.
An intelligent Savannah merchant recently
informed ns that" the statistics o* iv*.o xooUx
show large profits in every city numbering as
many as twelve thousand inhabitants, while
they have proved a success even in much smaller
towns.
The Savannah enterprise which was com
pleted a little more than one year ago, and cost
§80,000, has already earned §20,000, or twenty
per cent, upon its capital. We mention this
for the encouragement of those public spirited
citizens who have taken our railroad in hand.
Fair week alone, will doubtless go far towards
rewarding them for tho risk and expense in
curred.
Macon with its broad streets, its Vineville,
and TatnaU Square, its Windsor Hill, and mag
nificent distances generally, is of all cities best
adapted to the street railroad system. Not only
will pedestrians In long snmmer days bless the
the originators of the enterprise, bnt the en
hanced valne of property now too remote from
business centres will pay the cost of construc
tion many times over. Success to our oity rail
road. '' 1 ;
Moore, Jenkins & Co.—We find in the New
York Trade Beporter, of last Saturday, a hand
some compliment to the above flemishing gro
cery house of that city. Oneof the firm, Major
H. S. Hughes, is especially well known In Geor
gia and the South generally, where ho is de
servedly popular, and commands a big trade of
the most solid description. He is a Georgia
boy, bnt for many years has been a resident of
New York city, where his energy and business
capacity, in connection with that of his go
ahead associates is, we are pleased to know,
winning substantial reward. The firm has re
cently moved into a magnificent six story build
ing faced with free stone on the corner of West
Broadway and Franklin streets, with a frontage
of 100 feet on the first, and 50 feet on the lat
ter. From basement to the uppermost floor
everything is chock-fall with not an inch of
spare room. . • • ■ n. < •
The Trade Beporter oondndes its notice as
follows, whioh is certainly an endorsement of
which any firm might well be proud:
We regard the house of Moore, Jenkins & Co.
among the largest, most reliable, if not the
leading establishment of its class in the States.
It certainly ranks high, and deservedly so,
wherever it is known. Its customers can be
counted by hundreds on its ledgers.
Rev. Clement Vaughan.
The congregation and numerous friends and
admirers of this estimable Christian gentleman
and divine, will be happy to learn that, deo to-
lent e, he will return to his charge in this city
abont the middle of September.
Mr. Vaughan has been absent for a few weeks
on a visit to bis family in Virginia, and we trust
will' resume bis ministerial labors, revived in
strength and refreshed in spirit.
Few men surpass him in close and analytical
reasoning, and feta discourses are models in
purity of style and depth and fervor of piety.
Genial in disposition, and'perfeotly natural and
unpretending in his manners^ he is especially a
favorite with the yonng men of Che city. Mr.
Vanghan is at present the stated supply of the
Presbyterian pulpit, and the successor of Dr.
Wills.
Lost their East Friend.
The scallawags and carpet-baggers of the
South have always found in the virtuous Forney
their staunchest friend. He resembles them so
nearly in their most salient characteristics, that
it was bnt natural his soul should cleave unto
them as his brethren. Bat from the following
we judge even Forney’s stomach is taming.
The symptoms of a vomit oertainly show very
strong in these words:
Becent developements in Southern politics
shew that the Republicans of that section are on
the ere of an inevitable fight between honesty
and corruption. It is a fact which oannot be
disguised, and which we have never attempted
to conceal, that a large and influential portion
of the men who represent the Republican party
in the Sooth are mere adventurers, without any
interest in the eneoess of the organization other
than money-making.
Judge James Torry, a well known citizen of
Columbus, died last Tuesday.

The editor of the Southeast Georgian has
seen the Hi Kimball House, and here is what
he says:
It’s a beautiful house. _ Amidstits bowers, its

have his heaven, and listen to the music of a
sixteen string band and the voice of his night-
ingal, and eDjoy the felicities of the only para

There were twenty-three deaths in Savannah
for the week ending Saturday, 26th nit.

Two well known citizens of Savannah formed
a syndicate near the Pulaski House, Taesday,
whioh resulted in a general “bust-up,” one of
them being knocked clean ont of time. We

Yellow Fever in Beaufobt.—We were in
formed by a gentleman yesterday that he had
seen a letter,' from a reliable source, which
stated that the yellow fever had reached Beau
fort, S. C., having been brought there from the
phosphate works where seven or eight cases had
prevailed- The cases in Beanfort proved fatal.
The News, same date, has the following:
The A. & G. Railroad.—Trains Expected
to Bun Through To-day.—The washes along
the line of the AtlantioandGnlf Railroad, men
tioned in the News of yesterday, have not yet
been fully repaired, owing to the discovery. of
another slight break, which necessitated the
withdrawal of a part of the force engaged in
making the repairs. It is expected, however,
that the entire fine will be pnt in good order
during the day, and that trains leaving this oity
will run through on regular schedule time, and
that all trains delayed at point beyond the
washes will be able to come through. The mail
which left Jacksonville on the 25th arrived at
ce yesterday. No freight has been sent
over the* roadfor several days, and even the
Southern Express Company refused to take any
thing exoept very light -packages.
Fcnr yonng ladies, Misses Agnes Brown, El

and Miss Broderick, of Angosta, took the white
veil, at Savannah, last Monday, and two novices
were made full sisters : - Mis3 Mary Enright, in

O’Connor, in religion Sister Mary Gonzaga.
We clip the following items from the Chron
icle and Sentinel, of Wednesday:
Communication with Charleston.—Under
the authority granted them on Monday by the
Health Committee and Board of Health, Aider-
man Meyer, acting Mayor, and Alderman Ford,
Chairman of the Board, have been continuing
with Major Hall, agent of tho BonO* Carolina
Railroad in this oity, relative to railway commu
nication between Augusta and Charleston. On
yesterday evening we learned that an arrange
ment had almost been concluded between the
parties which will prevent any ears entering this
city from Charleston. It is proposed to have
trains from this city to meet all trains from
Charleston at Branchville, and at that place
change all the freight, passengers and baggage.
Charleston Merchants Coming.—We learn
that a large number of Charlestonians have fled
from their city on aocount of the yellow fever
epidemic, and that additional crowds are leaving
daily. Every train comes full to Augusta, and
many more are expeoted. Several Charleston
merchants expect to do business here daring
the fall, and our city will be benefitted by the
misfortunes of her unhappy sister. On yester
day one Charleston merchant telegraphed a
friend here to secure him a store, and others are
reported coming.
Col. John L. Rowland, of Bartow county, died
in Galveston on the 19th nit.
We clip the following items from tho Atlanta
Constitution, of yesterday:
• The State Boad Books.—The gentlemen se
lected to take charge of these books, Messrs.
Bedwine, Bawson and Hammock, have virtual
ly taken possession, and will be formally and
thoroughly installed to-day. This is a most
satisfactory arrangement, and will doubtless
lead to the most thorough inspection and exami
nation.
Illustrious Oalaboosetes. — Two colored
lads; recently in the calaboose here, gave their
names as “Abe Ltnooln” and “General Grant.”
Trne to their characteristics, the first one told
anecdotes, and the latter expressed a willing
ness to receive presents.
Mysterious Absence.—We learn that yonng
St. Johns, a clerk in the Atlanta pcstoffiee, left
this city on the 23d of July last, mysteriously,
and his family are distressed abont him. At
the time he left Ibe postoffice was in debt to him.
The Millar Case.—From the report of the
proceedings In the 1 preliminary examination of
W. D. R. Millar, of Savannah, it will be seen
that a further hearing of the case has been con
tinued for two weeks. We learn that Mr. Mil
lar has given bond in the sum of §8,000.
The Era of the same date says:
The Habeas Corpus Case—James Alexander
Released on Twenty Thousand Dollars Bail.
Mr. James Alexander, charged with the murder
of Hampton Whitehead, colored, was brought
before Judge Pittman, Ordinary, on a writ of
habeas corpus. * Messrs. Candler & Halsey ap
peared for the defendant, Mr. Thrasher for the
prosecution.
Judge Pittman granted hail in the sum of
§20,000. The prosecution applied to Judge
Hopkins for certiorari, which he signed, but
the defendant gaue the required bond and was
released., ,; j,,.
‘•Beware of the Vidders.”—It is stated on
good authority that a charming and buxom
young widow of this city, who is so terribly
afraid of thunder and lightning, and, in conse
quence, daring the recent severe storms was in
the habit of clasping her lily white hands and
flyiDg with pathetic distraction into her neigh
bor Smith’s house (Smith Is a widower) for fear
of being killed by (< that awful lightning,” is
abont to marry the harassed Smith, who got
tired of being always on tho defensive.
Tue Borne Commercial of yesterday says the
monster (Humphreys) who escaped from Kings
ton jail, in which he had been imprisoned for
killing his child, came very near being captured
in Kingston last Friday. One of his pnrsners
knocked him down with a rock, bnt only suc
ceeded in capturing his hat The wretch says
he will surrender as soon as he kills his wife;
that he will be willing to die as soon as he ac
complishes this.
Our Senatorial Candidate.
Editors Telegraph andMessenger: The thanks
of the people of jhe district are eminently due
the delegates to the Forsyth Convention for
nominating Col T. J. Simmons. I somehow
or other never thought of him in connection
with the office until I saw it announced in your
paper yesterday morning; and yet there is not
a man inollthedistriotmoreperfectly acceptable,
more worthy to fill it, or who would reflect more
honor upon the people If he is elected. Of his
eleotion I oannot entertain a doubt, for Geor
gia needs such men in her Legislature now.
There is not a blemish upon ^ good nimfl -
there is net a doubt of his integrity—there is
not a question of his ability to fill a
much higher than the one in question. I trust
there will be no opposition to him, for the citi
zens of the counties .he proposes to represent,
of all shades and parties, could not elect a gen
tleman who would more satisfactorily serve
them. Grafton.

these acts of violence by disguised men con-
tinned, and especially if witnesses examined
by the Committee were subsequently outraged
he would call the President’s atleition to the
facts, and recommend that he exercise the pow
ers conferred by the Kn-klux Act. He sub
mitted to the President various communica
tions, affidavits, eto., showing that since the re
turn of the Committee, and in spite of the ef
forts of leading citizens who, upon his sugges
tion,-had made strong efforts, by speeches and
otherwise, to control and check lawlessness,
the outrages had continued to go on undimin
ished, while the perpretrators are unpunished.
He suggested to the President the propriety of
issuing a proclamation under the Kn-klnx Act,
reiiminary to a proclamation of martial law in
ork and Spartanburg counties, and that, under
the third seotion of the act, instructions be
issued to the military commanders in tho ad
joining connties to arrest parties without pro
cess, and hand thorn over to the civil authorities
for prosecution. The President agreed to the
suggestion, and a proclamation, preliminary to
a declaration of martial law, may soon be ex
pected.

Port Jervis, Augast 29.—The storms of the
past few days are now being felt in damages by
flood. The Delaware Biver is many feet, above
idfj
.high water mark and still rising rapidly. At
this place a thirty thousand dollar snpension
bridge is being oonstrueted across Die Dela
ware. A long and expensive coffer dam hsa
just been completed, and an improved steam
pnmp with boiler and engine placed in it to pro-
oeed with the work of laying the middle pier.
The dam is entirely submerged and the ma
chinery nearly so. If the river continues rising
a few hours longer the whole structure will be
sweptaway. At Milford, Penn., the hotel of
S. D. Vanelten is in imminent danger. Oa Van-
desmouk creek the bridgei.'at F £hermian’s steam
tannery has been swept away, and the engine
bouse of the tannery. The bank is caving, at-d
it is not safff.to work aboutthe tannery. Travel
on the Erie Railroadis seriously impeded by the
storm of last evening. On the Montioello and
Port Jervis Railroad all travel was suspended by
a heavy land slide at Hartwood.
New York, August 31.—The Canard steamer
Java, from Liverpool last night, reports on the
night of the 25th August, about 11 o’dock, the
saloon being full of passengers the cry of “hard
a port” was heard. The Java’s engines stopped,
and then came a crash that shook the vessel from
end to end. Those who rushed on deok, saw one
half of a large vessel on one side and* the other
half on the other side. Boats were got out
at once, and after searching car<#fclly abont,
they returned, having saved one man, from
whom it was learned that the vessel run down
was the Norwegian bark Annita, from Ports
mouth to Quebeo, with 12 hands on board, 11
of whom went down with the bark. It was for
some hours a matter of doubt as to whether the
Java was injured.
New York, August 31.—The ’Wall street mar
kets exhibited increased strength and activity
this afternoon, with'a general upward move
ment in prices on stock exchanges.. Railroad
speculation was buoyant and the advance was
quite general, and business better distributed
than for some time past. The announcement
from Washington this afternoon that Secretary
Boutwell has called in §100,000,000 of 520
bonds was the main cause of the general firm
ness in prices. The calling in of so Urge an
amountof 5-20 bonds is generallylnterpreted as
meaning to ball the market on stock exchange
during the fall months.
Savannah, Augast 31.—Prominent physicians
sign a statement to the effect that no yellow
fever exists in Savannah, nor any disease ap
proximating to it. The season np to this time
is the healthiest within their experience. , ..
The lowest pressure, whioh was central on
Wednesday afternoon north of Lake Ontario,
has moved northeast beyond our stations. Heavy
rain was reported Wednesday in Northern New
England. Partially cloudy and clearing weather
has prevailed to-day from Lake Michigan east
to the Atlantic. There is clear and pleasant
weather from this region southward to the Gulf
States and westward. Cloudy and threatening
weather has been reported on the coast of Lou
isiana, and it is probable that a storm of small
dimensions has prevailed on the coast of Texas,
bnt this evening reports from that State are not
yet received. The barometer, after rising in
the Northwest, has again' fallen from Missouri
northwards, with freBh southerly winds.
Probabilities; Clear and oohl-weather is
probable for to-nigbt from New Englandr to
Georgia and the Ohio valley; clearing and dear
weather on the Lakes; local and light winds
and increase of temperature for Friday over the
same region. Falling of the.barometer-and
southerly winds from Lake Huron to Tennes
see and westward to Missouri. - .
St. Thomas, West Indies, August 22, via

to the hoiror daring the night. Hundreds of
dwellings were swept away. Not a house on
the island was undamaged. Six thousand peo
ple are houseless, and 150 are killed—30 corpses
have been hauled from under the ruins. Ves

A Sad Story.
Among a savage clan
Of Gannibaneh people,
A missionary man
Set np his modest'steeple.
And there each day he would
Pars on his noble labors, g
He- told them to be good
And bade them love their neighbors.
The cannibals, with grins.
Gave •ear to themes he treated,
.They crossed their tawny shins,
And on their hams were seated.
And yet they were not lost,
That missionary's.Jabots,
He taught them to his cost
The way to lovs their neighbors.
Foe one day, when for prayers
ffhese cannibals they met him,
They caught him unawares—
They killed him and they ate him 1
They said they found him good—
He’d practiced what he taught them—
And now they understood
The goodness he had brought them.
And when they filled each maw,
They said, while they deplored him,
‘ ‘They’d loved him—live and raw—
Bat, roasted, they adored him!’’

•Work Commenced on the Street Railroad.
Bright and early yesterday morning Mr. Pos-
tell, contractor for laying down the track of the
street railroad, broke ground immediately op*
posite the Passenger Depot. He had a large
force at work daring the day, divided into two
squads, the second gang working between
Cherry and Mulberry on Fourth street. The
road will first be completed to the Fair Grounds,
and returning construction will be resumed at
the intersection of Fourth and Cherry—up
Cherry to Third, thence to Mulberry again, then
to Cotton Avenue and out to Tattnall Square.
There was a degree of assurance in the will
with whioh the construction went forward yes
terday, leaving little donbt that in a few weeks
the ears would be running to the Fair Grounds,
and in the course of two months the whole line
will be finished and in running order. It can
be completed within sixty days if the iron, ties,
stringers and other material come forward
promptly, which we have no doubt they will do.
Fourth was a lively looking street yesterday.
Hundreds of citizens went down to see the road
actually being bnilt in which they are so muoh
interested, and which has their very best wishes
for success and a long life of prosperity. Among
the crowd we noticed a large delegation from
Tatnall Square, who claimed to be the fathers
of the road, They say that its completion is
obliged to insure a dense population in their
end of town, and we reckon they are right
about it.
This enterprise will mark an epoch in the his
tory of our city. It will attract the attention of
strangers—give ns the air, the appearance and
the general look of a modem American oity;
force population from the crowded and heated
heart to the surface of the body; extend the
boundary line; bring the present snbnrbsinto
market, and in convenient, easy and accessible
communication with what is now known as the
business centre, and by affording speedy and
cheap transportation, dispense with horSes and
vehicles and make living cheaper..
The Street Railroad.—The iron, the cross
ties and the stringers were yesterday being
hauled and discharged along the line of the
proposed street railroad. We noticed that the
iron for this work was far difflerently moulded
from that of our common public railways. It
is much lighter and is made to nail down upon
tho stringers. We presume that with the land
ing of these materials all doubts will disappear
from tho minds of every one with regard to
this important work. Rut it is curious to
note the birth and progress of opinion in re
gard to it from tho beginning. When first sug
gested, five thousand said it wonld never be
built—that the money would not be snbsorlbed.
But when the capital was more thaB made up,
two thousand five hundred said it would never
be collected. Bnt when they saw it being
paid in, fifteen hundred gave np, and a thousand
stuck to it that it never wonld be built—that no
one would ever see any of the material landed
here. But when they saw the material on hand,
one hundred still held out. They are in their
last ditch. Fifty still say that something will
happen to break np the whole thing, and the re
maining fifty feebly offer bets which they are
ready to back out from, if taken, that if the
road is bnilt it won’t pay. One old octogena
rian has diligently searched the Bible and finds
no mention of street railroads in it, and hence
he has taken that “it is agin religion” and a
pure invention of the devil. “The Saviour rid
to Geerusalum on an ass’ oolt, and why can’t we
do the Bame thing.” He is a direct descendant'
of that team, but when the road is completed
he will ride on it regularly if ha has a dead
head ticket Go it old man, yon are a very
neoessary cog in this wheeL By your opposi
tion to each and every public enterprise you
call the attention of sensible men to, and
they forthwith invest money in them. The
friends of this road ought to give you that tick
et, for you have been of great serrioe to them.
D. L. Booker vs. E. H. Worrill. Complaint
from Muscogee.
Loohbane, O. J.—Where a suit was institued
upon a joint note and one only was served and
at the trial upon objection being made, plain
tiff’s counsel discontinued the suit as the party
not served, npon which the defendant then
pleaded the faots in abatement, to which plea a
demurrer was filed, which the oonrt sustained
and then defendant excepted to the judgment
and retired:
Held, Under section 3,274 of the Code, it was
error in the court to have sustained the demur
er to the plea. This plea distinctly set ont the
facts, it showed that the note was joint, that the
joint contractor, not served, lived in the juris
diction of the court and in the county where the
court was then sitting; and as to the form of
the plea we may only say all the technicalities
of pleading and the subleties of formhave been
brushed away by the sweep of an enlighted pro
gress in the administration of jostico.
Judgment reversed npon the ground the court
erred in sustaining the demurrer to the plea filed
and allowing judgment to be taken under the
law in this case.

E V. Kingman vs. A. Gammell. Case, from
Muscogee.
Locheane, O. J.—It is error in the court be
low to refuse a continuance and force parties to
trial npon the admission in these words: “we
admit and do not contest the fact that the wit
ness Fuller would, if present, testify to the facts
stated in the above affidavit.” Under the Code,
section 3472, to force a trial, in absence of wit
nesses, by admission of the proof, it is neoes
sary not only to admit and not contest the faot
that the witness would so swear, but to go farther
and admit the facts to be true, and not contest
their truth.
Judgment reversed npon the ground that the
coart erred in overrating the motion for a con
tinuance on the ground of the absence of the
witness Fuller.

Jaokson M. Gill vs. Mary Mizell et al.
pass, from Marion. . :.
: Loohbane, 0. J.—Two parties named respect
ively Mizell and Proctor, entered into a copart
nership in fanning in the beginning of the year
1867, and at the close of the year Mizell feU in
Proctor’s debt; to extinguish which he made
sale to him of two mules and some stock, and
the parties agreed to go on the ensuing year,
1808, npon the same terms; which they did-
At the close of 1808 Mizell applied to the Ordi
nary to have certain property exempted as per
sonalty, and in his schedule included the two
mules and other property previously sold. A
few days subsequent to the application, both
parties submitted all their aocounts and contro
versies to arbitrators, who awarded the amount
of §1870 due to Prootor from Mizell, and found
the sale valid, but directed if Mizell paid the
money he was to have the mules and Block back;
and under such an awaTd Gill, acting by way of
receiver, sold the property. Mrs. Mizell, for
herself and minor children, brought suit against
him for the money. And upon the trial the
view entertained by the court that this award,
which had b6en made the judgment of the
court, created only a lien on the property of
Mizell, and finch lien was displaced by the
rights of the family under the exemption, eta,
and his charge to that effect the jury found for
iheplaintiff.
Held, Under the faots in this case, that the
award of the arbitrators was conclusive and
binding npon all the parties thereto, and the
wife, and children of Mizell had no right in the
property found nnder such award to belong to
Proctor, without first complying with the award
and paying the amount due:
eld, again, That the sale of the cotton un
der suoh award did not render the party selling
a trespasser or liable to aotion as such, and that
inasmuch as the cotton being raised in copart
nership, was to be sold and the money paid over
to the extinguishment of a copartnership debt,
the jndgment of the Ordinary did not by Buoh
exemption change its legal statns or vest any
right therein superior to the award.
Judgment reversed npon the ground that the
to the
oonrt erred in its charge as to the effect of the
award, and rights of the family under the facts
in the case.

A Rhode Island Clambake.
The following description of a Rhode I-hJ
Clambake, from Frank Leslie, shonld be nJ
just before breaking bread after a long fast: 1
Imagine a sheltered spot, on which is lig!
first, a rude circular platform of flat stones tj
feet in diameter. On this is bnilt np a kind:
pyre of alternate layers of dry hickory wood ti
round stones (“nigger heads”) to tho height:
four or five feet. - This is then fired, and wh
the whcle is burned down to a pile of redi.
stones and glowing coals, the latter, with wb
ever ashes there may be, are swept away w;
birchen brooms, and the heated stones piled:
a broad-based cone in the centre. On these:
spread a thick layer of rock-weed; on this r
poured, bushel by bushel, the soft clams, fres
dug in the morning. Mingled with these,!
placed on the summit of tho pile, are cerix
quantities of guahaugs, oysters, fish wrapp
in napkins, chickens, lobsters, potatoes, onira
and green oom. An old sail-cloth is then sprei
over the steaming ma9s, and the whole pile bare
deep in sea-weed, thus oonfiningthesteaminvb
resembles a good-sized hay-cook. The steac
generated, not alone from the natnral
tnre of the wet rock-weed, but from
bursting of the numberless little pods
taining filtered sea-water, which aro
of, and a characteristic feature of,
weed itself. These hurst as the heat rises,
furnish a constant, bnt not too copious, sap
of salt-water to the hot stones below. In
course of an honr the sea-weed and sail-
are removed, revealing the “bake,” and
ing a volume of fragrant, pervading, and
tizing odors. The various ingredients of
steaming pile are then served ont ala' \
tion, their various flavors harmonizing like
flowers of a well-chosen bouquet, in a deli:
appeal to the palate and in a gentle tribnte:
the stomach. It is, of course, the soft
that “leavens the lump,” and who receives
first attention. His delicate shell is easih
moved, and he is then dipped in a cup of mi'
batter, tempered with a little pepper and
gar; and then—ha glides away to perform
noble duty of nourishing the human race,
gracefnlly fulfills his destiny.
This is the clam-bake pur et simple.

regie) and fresh broiled scup (Narragansett!
