Tax foreign dispatches announce the
killing of the Marquis do Caux, Adelina
Patti’s husband. The event is said to
have happened at St Petersburg.

Sons French Communists, the miscre
ants who murdered innocent prisoners,
men, women, children and priests, of
thek own race and country during the
Franco-German war, have sent a gold
medal to Wm. Lloyd Garrison, for trans
mission to old John Brown’s family. It
weighs nearly five ounces.
Everybody does not worship Mammon

Upon the best Washington authority
tho New York Bulletin learns that it is
the purpose of tho Government not to
put in circulation any of the silver coin
age, in pursuance of the resumption act,
until the price of gold has fallen to about
110, as with gold ranging above that
quotation tho coin would naturally be
bought up for export.
The Librarian of Princeton College
has addressed a circular to Southern
alumni of the institution, asking them to
send any literature of the late war which
they may possess. The college has al
ready received a largo collection of pam
phlets, papers and book relating to the
war history of the North, and the hope
is that a valuable collection from each
section may bo got together.
The Cincinnati Commercial gets at the
Last ^Week’s Cotton Figures.
The New York Commercial and Finan-
tizl Chronicle reports receipts of the
seven days ending Friday night, 23d
instant, 22,190 bales against 32,937 the
corresponding week of last year. The
falling off during the week was therefore
10,747. The decrease so far in the cotton
year, according to tho Chronicle, is 218,-
662 bales—the receipts up to Friday
night being 2,296,8-16, against 3,545,503
for the same period of the last cotton
year.
The interior cotton port business o
the week was as follows: Eeceipts 9,154
bales against 21,222 for the correspond
ing week of last year. Shipments 16,993
against 21,222. Stocks 102,755 against
99,509 last year.
The Chronicle’s visible supply table
shows 28,60,576 bales, against 2,990,654
last year and 2,816,670 the year before,
The decrease on last year’s stock is there
fore 130,038bales, and the increase on tho
stock of 1873 is 42,966. Middling up
lands in the Liverpool market last Fri
day were quoted 7»a8d; the year before
they were worth Old, and in 1873 the
samo.
The week onding last Friday wa3 mark
ed by frosts, low temperature and cold
winds. But cotton planting was too
backward to have sustained much dam
age from these causes.
Tlio Servant Girl Question.
The “help” in Germany are good gen
erally, because the “police” take charge
of them in reality, and success depends
upon a good account of them at the po
lice. Every servant girl i3 provided with
Dienstbuch (service book,) dealt out
her by tho police authorities, and she has
to announce herself at the police office
every time she changes her situation. In
thi3 Dienstbuch are registered her name,
age and native place, and on each page
is a printed formula, which tho mistress
she is leaving is obliged to fill up as to
her cleanliness, industry, moral conduct,
sobriety, etc., as well as the reason of
her leaving her situation, the date on
which she entered, and that on which
she left it.—Nashville Union and American.
What a blessing to Southern house
keepers such a custom would be. Fancy
tho rapturous delight of bringing the
colored “ladies” who condescend to wait
upon us to taw in this summary manner.
But perhaps the “gubment” would resent
it as “intimidation,” and the howl of the
bloody shirt shakers be heard throughout
the land.
Macon and Brunswick Hail-
road.
The New York Chronicle of Friday
says the bondholders of the Macon and
Brunswick road held a meeting in New
York last week and appointed a commit
tee to buy in the road at the sale on
Tuesday, June 1st, if necessary, and to
operate it, or make such arrangements as
they deem desirable.

The San Francisco Bulletin predicts
that the time will soon come when every

How the New York Tribune’s “staff
correspondent” got baek from the Lex
ington centennial celebration: “While I
was looking despairingly at a line of thir
ty-six cars, black inside and outside .with
human beings, I was invited by three
good looking gentlemen inside to come in
at the window, and after some natural
demur put myself in the hands of my
friends, and was dragged in head fore
most, and set np on end in a corner. In
this way I got to Boston, though I de-
vontlypray I may never have such a ride
again. It seemed an even chance all the
way whether tho top of the car would be
crushed in or tho bottom be forced out,
and I prepared my mind for either emer
gency. While we were going on the long
down grado at Arlington, there wa3 a
dead silence, and nobody swore, nor spit,
cor smashed a pace of glass for threo
minutes.”
The St. Joseph (Mo.) Herald says that
hundreds of persons are daily passing
through that city on their return East
from California, and that they are unani
mous in picturing a gloomy condition of
affairs on the Pacific coast. Sinco the
1st of January the rush of emigration to
California has been immense, 9300 per
sons having passed Kearney Junction,
bound for San Francisco, during tho
month of March, and it-is represented
that hundreds of these able-bodied men,
having spent their last dollar for trans
portation, aro now begging bread in the
streets, and sleeping in bams and out
houses.
Tights EetUvivus.
The writer has carefully preserved, a
curious and antique bridal dress of his
wife’s ancestress, who flourished many
generations ago when the century was
young. Tho fabric is of heavy white
brocado silk,almost one mass of embroid
ery, and tawny and yellow with ago.
That garment even now can almost stand
alone like a rusty suit of armor, so stiff
and massive" was the rich material. Let
us attempt a description:
Waist, a few inches only below the
chin; skirt, encircled with many rows, of
embroidered laurel leaves of satin, and
scant and narrow; sleeves, huge mutton
leg, each big enough to fashion the re
mainder of the dress. Shoes of white
satin, with portentously high heels
This is the portraiture of that blushing
bride, who would now be among tho an
cients of earth, if still living.
How she ever got in or out of that
moving pillory, wo never could under
stand,until these latter days. Doubtless
there were sundry loops and ligatures
that confined her imprisoned form, just
as tho tiny rows of sharpened metal pin
back tho flowing skirts of the modem
belle. How odious this fashion. Heaven
be prajsed gentleman’s unmentionables aro
growing bigger. With every reef in the
female canvas an ell i3 added to the lega
of our troetsers, and those with crooked
limb3 or attenuated calves, rejoice that
their deficiencies can no longer be dis
covered. We remember with holy hor
ror tho time when one’s valet had almost
to shale him into the contracted cloth
apertures, yclept pants, and the samo
squeezing wardrobe appendages, worthy
of the Spanish Inquisition, were confined
around the hoot by leathern straps, to pro
vent them from assuming the form of
gigantic cork-screws. Then followed the
other extreme of Turkish bags, making
balloons of the lower extremities.
But the object of this article was to
discuss the utility, or rather inutility, of
the present outer regalia of the ladies.
Why in the name of a husband’s pocket,
buy twenty yards of material for a dress,
and then deliberately pin it baek, so that
tho beauteous creature cannot even sit
down without imminent danger of con
vulsions? Suppose theso uncertain skew
ers should give way (and that they ore
apt to bend, and easy to loose all will ad
mit), what would be the consequence ?
A lone maiden surrounded with a sea of
mnslin, silk or calico, just as the buoy
floats in old ocean, and unable to advance
or recede. Wouldn’t she envy the fate of
Lot’s wife, who wa3 turned into a pillar
of salt?
But, happily, woman’s wit and self-
possession, and “necessity, the mother
of invention,” have discovered a remedy,
rather troublesome, it is true, but which
we cannot sufficiently admire.
Eecentlv, in a fashionablo boarding
school, at a "reception,” the excellent
mistress of ceremonies instructed the
young ladies to unpin, ere they took their
seats, and then make all tight again.
Thi3 was duly and leisurely executed,
the bright little missives flashing in the
gaslight with luminous effect, ere tho
liberated captives settled down in tbeir
chairs, like soldiers performing an evolu
tion.
When they rose to leave, another pro
cess of gathering up of course was neces
sary. But that matron showed her good
sense. Better this extra and somewhat
ludicrous handling of pins, than the hor
rors of a confinement equal to the
straight-jacket of the lunatic. One old
fogy, however, whom we fear to name,
lest tho girls should impale him on their
pins, mildly suggests the compromise of
less cloth, and a juster distribution of the
same. “ The old gump 1” we hear them
all exclaim.
THE GEORGIA. PRESS.
A New York letter gives some inter
esting figuros in regard to tho extent of
tho business of making dress patterns
out of a flimsy sort of paper mado for tho
purpose. Ono houso in that city docs
3100,000 worth of trade a year. This
honsehas 1.000 agencies, and tho pat
terns aro sent to every part of tho United
States, Canada, and to Europe, tho or
ders ranging from $23 to $1,000. Ono
hundred and fifty hands aro kept con
stantly at work to meet tho orders.
We would say to tho Jone3 county
friend and subscriber who complains of
tho omission from our weekly edition of
all local new3, that it is impossible at
present for ns to find room for it without
leaving out other matter of more im
portance to tho general reader. If wo
j-nn devise a way to get it, or a part of it
in hereafter, wo will try to accommodate
him and others in that county who would
like to know tho Macon nows. Wo
thought, howover, that our Jones county
neighbors wero so near us and came to
town so often, that they managed to keep
pretty well posted.
Tub largest and perhaps tho grandest
wedding in New York for years was cele
brated on Tuesday afternoon of last
week at Calvary church. Tbo brido wa3
Miss Alice, daughter of Murray H. Smith,
and the bridegroom Wm. H. Vanderbilt,
Jr., son of W. H. Vanderbilt, and grand
son of Commodore Vanderbilt. The wed
ding was followed by a reception at the
residence of the bride’s father, in which
over two thousand participated. The
house was thrown open from basement
to roof, profusely decorated with floirers
and brilliantly illuminated. Tho parlors
were a bower of roses, tb% brido and
bridegroom reclining under a canopy of
Cowers. The wedding gifts were voiced
at over $500,000.
In Prussia the experiment of lighting
railway cars with go3 has been brought
to a successful solution. On ono of the
railways tho experiment has been so suc
cessful th.at there is little doubt of the
ultimate exclusion of all kinds of oil
lamps on the railways of Germany. The
intensity of tho light is equal to that of
ten candles, while that of ordinary coal
gas, burned at tho samo rate and under
similar circumstances, i3 but about three
and a half candles. The burners in ac
tual use give about seventeen candles’
light; tho Argand lamps usually em
ployed give a light of only four candles.
Tho whole apparatns, except the burners
and their protecting lanterns, is placed
beneath the cars. There seems to be no
possibility of danger from its use, except
such as migh result from explosion.
Boasttno Picaninnies.—The practice
so common among negroes of locking up
their young children in the cabin, while
they go off to meetings or frolics, has re
sulted in a great number of the most
cruel tragedies conceivable. Ono of theso
happened the other day in Tennessee,
and a witness, who owned tho premises
and discovered the fire too late to lib
erate the three children confined in the
cabin, says tho scene beggars description.
Both parents witnessed tho roasting
alive of every child they had at once, and
could afford no relief to them. The air
was rent with shrieks, and it was the
most appalling sight I ever beheld.
The Fbuit Chop.—A week or two ago,
says the Eofaula News, we were hopeful
of the fruit crop, believing it had escaped
the usual calamities of the season; hut
we are now fearf al that the extraordinary
cold snap through which we have just
passed has destroyed all or nearly all of
the plums, peaches, pears, apples and
cherries in this section—to say nothing
of strawberries, raspberries and other
small fruits, We believe blackberries,
' muscadines and persimmons never fail.
Hon. C. A; Matting:.
Our readers will enjoy another letter
written from remote Mexico by our fel
low-citizen, Mr. Nutting, who we are glad
to welcome home again.
The presence of CoL Thoma3 A. Scott
was on open sesamo to tho party, who
wero tho recipients of every possible
courtesy and attention from railroad offi
cials and the civil authorities.
They remained flvo days in Mexico,
the once opulent abode of the Montezu-
mas and Aztecs, and Mr. Nutting de
scribes the climate as perfectly delight
ful, and the country capable of indefinite
development. But the wretched hybrid
population have no scythes, patent reap
ers, or modem implements of agriculture,
and continue to use the old Portuguese
plow, and thresh their wheat with the
hoofs of donkie3. An effusion of Yankee
blood and energy is certainly needed in
that heaven blessed region.
Wo are glad to announce that tho read
ers of the Telegraph will bo favored
with several additional letters from Mr.
Nutting, covering his Mexican adven
tures and experiences.
SbatUnes.
Since tho big suit for libel against our
friends of the Charleston News and Cour
ier, for merely saying that a man was a
bigamist after the court had pronounced
Mm so, and an accessoiy to murder upon
the sworn deposition of the wretch who
committed the aet, and in view of certain
threats fulminated by rival fishermen,
wc were almost afraid to open our mouth
on a subject so fishy.
But Messrs. Greer, lake & Co. have
effectually banished our scruples and all

Now any ono who doubts this state

Of the effects of the late cold spell in
Virginia, the Bichmond Dispatch says :
All the forward blossoms are hopeless
ly dead. Cherries, pears, apricots, and
peaches, wherever in bloom throughout
Virginia and North Carolina, are hope-
lesslj killed. A vast part of the young
tobacco-plants are killed. Tho appre
hensions concerning the tobacco crop aro
very serious, but let us hope extravagant.
The battle of Bunker Hill is the next
centennial in order, to he celebrated
Jnne 17. The President has not yet re-
j sponded to the invitation sent him.
t Sherman, however, will be present.
The Atlanta News speaks r&ther des-
pondingly about the prospects of the pro
posed cotton factory in that city. It
says:
“We are near tho first day of May, and
the stock of the cotton factory is not all
taken. Mr. Kimball, the president, is
said to be almost disheartened, the di
rectors are also represented as gloomy
and dispirited. True, but a small sum
more 'mil make the project a success,
but the difficulty seems to be to get that
small sum subscribed."
The annual statement of the Granite-
ville factory published in the Augnsta
papers show that last year’s profits were
a little over 19 per cent, of tho capital
stock. The products during tho year
were 10,536,500 yards of goods, besides
quantity of yarn. The factory was run
all tho year on full time and pay, and
8,171 hales of cotton, costing-on an aver
age 14 38-100 cents per pound, were con
sumed.
It strikes tho Savannah News "that
these personal nominations for Governor,
nearly two years in advance aro entirely
premature, exMbiting rather more of ea
gerness in the wild hunt for office than
solicitude for the concord, harmony and
general prosperity of the commonwealth.
The Gubernatorial question is ono for the
people—the white tax-paying people of
Georgia—to settle, and they have plenty
of time between now and the election to
make a judicious selection. The parade
of candidates at this time is only calcu
lated to distract and confuse the popular
mind, while tho persistency with which
tho claims of individuals are urged by of
ficious friends is calculated to prejudice
them in the minds of the peoplo as seek
ing a dignity which should seek the man.
Wo would suggest to our editorial breth
ren, and especially to our Atlanta con
temporaries, to tono down a little for tho
? resent on tho Gubernatorial question,
t is well for tho press not to ho too offi
cious in such matters. Let tho peoplo
consider the matter without editorial ur
gency or dictation, Tho peoplo will cer
tainly have their say in thi3 business,
and if every newspaper in Georgia is to
have its candidate for Governor wo need
not be surprise i if confusion and discord
result, and tho people, distracted by the
pressure from all sides, ignore all who
have been put forward a3 aspirants. “
The first cucumbers of tho season
made their appearance at Savannah on
Saturday at nine dollars per bushel. To
some folks they aro dear at nine cents per
bushel.
Tobacco in Georgia.—Under this he
tho Savannah Advertiser says:
Mr. A. A. Knight has presented tho
editor of tho Jesup Georgian with a fine
specimen of leaf tobacco, grown on his
farm in Wayne county, referring to which
the Georgian is of tho opinion that the
weed could bo successfully raised in that
section. We fully coincide with our con
temporary, and are always ready to lend
our aid to any clear project that would
tend to enrich and elevate our State.
There is in Southwest Georgia a vast
area of idle land, and in the language of
Col. Sellers, “there’s millions in it,”
which needs only to bo properly handled
to bring out it3 full strength. Tobacco is
one of tho most profitable commodities
known when raised to a sufficient extent;
and, as the Georgian says, Southwest
Georgia is admirably adapted to its cul
tivation ; in fact it can be grown in any
part of the State. Previous to tho war that
portion of North Carolina west of the
Blue Eidga completely ignored tobacco
culture, and thus Virginia rejoiced in an
almost complete monopoly. A few years
after cessation of hostilities, an enter
prising, energetic Virginian,namcd Shel
ton, arrived at Asheville, in tho extreme
western portion ,of the State, and after
looking around became satisfied that he
had struck a “bonanza,” and immediately
concluded a purchase of a tract of land
in tho vicinity. He saw that tobacco
culture had been neglected; saw that
the peoplo lagged along satisfied with
their small crops of com, wheat, etc. He
at once planted tobacco seed, each season
increasing the area devoted to the crop,
and tho result to-day is that S. C. Shel
ton has made money. Not only this, but
his section enjeys tho enviable reputation
of being second only, if not equal to any
other tobacco section in America. In
fact, at the last two annual State fairs in
North Carolina, Shelton’s tobacco boro
off tho premiums over all competitors.
Georgia can raise as good tobacco os
North Carolina, perhaps better.
The Georgia State Medical Association
at its late meeting in Savannah mado
tho following appointments from this
Congressional district on it3 standing
committees. On Practice: Drs. J. E.
Blackshear, J. O. Herty, and A. King-
man. On Surgery: Drs. S. G. White,
D. W. Hammond, and J. H. Kendrick.
On Gynecology: Dr3. W. O’Daniel E.
Fitzgerald, and J. C. Johnson. Dr. W,
E. Burgess, of this city, was placed on
tho committees on “Climatology and
Epidemic Diseases,” and “ Medical Ed
ucation and Literature.” Drs. G. 3.
Sussdorff, W. F. Holt, W. E. Burgess,
and C. B. Nottingham, of Macon, were
appointed delegates to the American
Medical Association which meets this
year in Louisville, Kentucky. The fol
lowing resolutions introduced by Dr. C.
B. Nottingham, of Macon, were read and
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, Tho wealth, happiness and
power of civilized countries depend as
much on the health and the resulting
productive capacities of tho industrial
cls&sos of population a3 on tho extent of
domain, tho fertility of soil, themumber
and richness of mineral resources, or tho
magnitude of commerce and trade; and
whereas, It i3 so les3 a duty incumbent
on a government to provide by proper
legislation for the conservation and ad
vancement of public health than for the
diffusion of knowledgo and tho dofenoo-
of public liberty; and whereas. The Leg
islature of Georgia at the last sossion did,
in tho interest of tho public welfare of
tho State, enact the bill-presented by Dr.
J. G. Thoma3 creating a State Board of
Health; therefore
Besolved, That it is tho sense and sol
emn conviction of this Association that
when a majority of tho States of tho
Union shall have organized similar boards
to that of Georgia and of eight others
already existing in different States, it
will be tho duty and policy of the Federal
Government to establish a National
Health Council at the seat of government,
tho paramount object of wMcb shall bo
the promotion of sanitary scien :e by tho
examination, generalization and elabora
tion of all the facts pertaining to vital
statistics, hygienic laws and tho public
health that may be furnished by the
several State Boards of Health and by
information obtained from the army,
navy and other sources, and the dissemi
nation of these facts and information by
suitable publications to be distributed
over the country and to tho scientific
world.
Besolved, That the said Council should
ba created by Congress as an independ
ent department competent to subserve
the interests of science, to improve and
better the condition of our population,
and to reflect honor on the country; and
in our judgment any effort to establish a
bureau connected with or subordinate to
any other department of the government
would bo inadequate to the require
ments of the age and the needs of the
people, and unworthy the ambition of the
great American medical profession.
These resolutions were seconded by Dr.
W. F. Westmoreland, and supported by
Dr. Henry F. Campbell, who said he be
lieved no great effort would be required
to effect the purpose of the resolutions.
The remarkable provision they suggest
would arrest attention, and the establish
ment of such a department in 'the Na
tional Government would draw the eyes
of the universal world to our resources
and attractions as a country, as well as
hygienic advantages, and would strongly
tend to largely increase by informing in
telligent immigration.
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted.
Dr. Eugene Foster, of Augusta, intro
duced the following resolution, wMch
was passed:
Besolved, That the Georgia Medical
Association appoint a committee of three
members.of this body, whose duty it shall
be to petition tho Legislature of Georgia
to establish an inebriate asylum in this
State.
The President appointed Drs. Eugene
Foster, of Augusta, Bob. P. Myers, of
Savannah, and C. B. Nottingham, of
Macon, to serve as this committee.
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun states that
a lot “100 tons of pig iron shipped from
Borne, Ga„ to Liverpool, Eng., cost in
freight only $1 a ton more than it would
take to. ship the same amount from Borne
to Cincinnati. The statement comes from
the Birminghan (England) Post. The
paper says the shipment was an experi
mental consignment of good pig iron of
Georgia and Alabama for *wMch the
makers hoped to get eight pounds per
ton, but which netted only seven in Liv
erpool. TM3 paid a small profit. The
Post also says tho Cornwall Iron Company
of Cherokee county, Ala., aro preparing
to ship to Liverpool 100 tons of their
charcoal (pig iron.”
The samo paper announces tho death
near Charleston, last Sunday, of Captain
W. J. McAlister, sinco 1843 one of the
most energetic and prominent citizens of
Columbus. He was for a number of years
engaged in boating on the Chattahoochee
river, and built nino steamers for that
trade.
The Monroe Advertiser says:
Mr. Hill is the most unfortunate aspi
rant for political honor we have ever
known, when his transcendent abilities
aro considered. Gifted beyond any man
at present living in Georgia as an orator,
as a lawyer, as a sound rcasoncr and safe
counsellor, yet ho ha3 never been so for
tunate as to bo elected by the people.
Such has been Ms bad luck that we are
afraid to hope that ho will be elected
this timo for fear of a disappointment.
He will, however, make a vigorous and
active canvass of the district, and may,
by his persuasive eloquence, add many
votes to those already pledged to him.
In our opinion his chances are good. We
trust so, at least, os wo are anxious to see
Mr. Hill in Congress, believing that ho
will reflect honor upon the State and
credit to himself.
If wo are not mistaken, Mr. Hill was
elected more than once to tho Legislature
by tbo people of Troup county. We
know he was Senator from that county
for one, if not moro terms.
The Advertiser leam3 that in Monroe
and Jasper counties cotton “is nearly all
planted and is up,” and that it wa3 not
injured by the late cold spell.
The same paper says Dr. J. S. Lawton
brought in lost week from Ms farm near
Forsyth, some stalks of wheat measuring
forty-eight inches in height. Ho has one
acre about as good 03 this and twenty
acres very fine but not so tall. This one
aero was sown with a view to taking the
prize at the next State Fair and if no un
toward accident befalls it, the prospect
for that prize being awarded to the Doc
tor, i3 good. The land is higMy manured
and the wheat is as tMck as it can stand.
Since we wrote tho above Dr. Wm. Speer
has sent us some specimen stalks of his
wheat. It is further advanced than the
wheat of Dr. L. and has headed. It
measures accurately sixty-one inches in
height. This is the best we have seen
nnd wo do not expect to seo any better.
It i3 good enough. Tho wheat was sown
in October last, on rich land, without
manure.
The Bainbridge Democrat tells of an
old farmer in Decatur county who ha3
been preparing for a famine for tbo last
twenty years. At this time ho has threo
crops of com in Ms cribs, as well as ba
con, syrup, snga r, etc. He is never with
out threo years rations on hand.
The Athens Georgian thinks that tho
best way to test the question of raising
meat, at home, for Sonthem consump

for tho best hog raised in Georgia.
The Thomasville Enterprise says:
"Judge Kelly of Pennsylvania, mere
familiarly known as "Pig-iron Kelly,”
during a recent tour in Florida, admitted
that ho hod made two mistakes during
tho session of tho late Congress. In con
versation with our informant, he said
that he wa3 satisfied, since coming South
and mingling with our people, and seeing
the peculiar institution in its native ele-,
ment, that ho should have voted both
against tho force bill and civil rights hill.
That he had become convinced, that
both measures were wrong and perni
cious. Judge Kelly further stated that
he was going to return nome and tell his
people that these measures were wrong,
and did the Southern peoplo injustice, al
though he had voted for them.”
The Irwinton Southerner says tho
Bethsl ghost ” is still on the rampage
in that county. The last 3 care was of a
married man who “ says the tMng was as
large as an ox and as long as a fence. In
his efforts to escape from tho monster ho
knocked down threo panels of fence, de
stroyed a thrifty plum orchard, and
reached homo badly bruised, prayed a
long and fervent prayer, and spoke not
again in three days.”
Attorney General "Williams*’
Resignation.
A special to tho Louisville Courier-
Journo? says Attorney General Williams
denies to-day that ho resigns in order to
run for the Senator in Oregon, and says
that his object is to practice law before
the Supremo Court. Mr. Williams has
the closest relations with tho President,
and has done much to shape Ms harsh
Southern policy, except os to-Arkansas,
where he proved himself wiser and moro
liberal than Grant. As a general rule,
however, ho- has been very bitter, and is,
therefore, especially obnoxious to Demo
cratic Congressmen. It is well under
stood that the next House of Bepresen-
tatives-will investigate thoroughly tho
manner in which the Department of Jus
tice has been conducted, and this fact
; probably had it3 influence in leading Mr.
: iVilliama to resign.
There ia a good deal of speculation 03
to Mr. Williams’ successor. The opinion
of well informed persons is, that ex-Sena-
tor Carpenter can havo tho position if
ha chooses, but that having already en
tered upon a practice which promises
much larger emoluments than the office
of Attorney General, he will not accept
the appointment if it be offered.
General Bristow has got over the worst
of his troubles in the Treasury Depart
ment, as he has reorganized it in a large
measure, and shown himself ahlo to con
trol his subordinates, and the impression
therefore is that ho will not oiro to go
from one department to another. There
no donht that Mr. Pierrepont, of New
York, would like, of all things, to be
made Attorney General, and, under the
circumstances, Ms chance is regarded as
good by the knowing ones.
New Gas Company.
The Council, last night, decided to take
$5,000 stock in a now gas company,
wMch it is proposed to establish here, on
condition that the street lamps be lighted
at $20 per annum, each, the City Hall
and the bridge at $2 per thousand, and
that ga3 be furnished citizens at a price
not exceeding $3 per thousand.
Georgia Baptist Covention.
Reported for tho Telegraph and Messenger.)
FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
2.30 r. x.—The “Board of Ministers
Savings Fund” called the “Old Preach
er^ Board, located ia Eatonton, was re
elected and their report adopted. The
body then entered upon the discussion of
the report of a committee appointed at
tho last convention to consider the pro
priety of establishing a female college
of Mgh grade in Georgia under the
auspices of the convention. An able
i report was presented by the following
committee: Dr. S. G. Hillyer, J. G.
Byals, E. D. Mallary, M. N. McCall, W.
L. Kilpatrick, which elicited some of the
most earnest and eloquent speeches of
the session, the following gentlemen tak
ing part in the discussion: Dr. Hillyer,
N. A. Hornady, G. A. Nunnally, W. H.
Davis, L B. Branham, H. C. Hornaday,
T. J. Burney, Dr. Mays, T. J. Bobert, J.
H. DeVotie, J. H. James and D. E. But
ler. It i3 not necessary to summarize
their remarks now; they resulted in the
adoption of the following resolutions
That this convention deem it desirable
and important to endow, somewhere in
onr State, a collegiate institution, of ele
vated character for the education of
young ladies.
2. That there bo elected by the Con
vention, a permanent committee of fifteen
members, who shall be authorized to
select tho location for the proposed sem
inary, in whatever way may seem to
them most judicious, and also to adopt
whatever measures they may devise' for
raising for it the necessary endowment.
3. That the said committee reports, its
action to the next convention for it3 ap
proval or rejection.
The Committee on Nominations then
reported the appointment of Eev. Wm. C.
Wilke3 to preach the introductory sermon
next year, with Bev. I. B. Branham al
ternate.
The report of the special committee on
the Orphans’ Home was then adopted.
It recommended an enlargement of the
accommodations for sheltering the or
phans, and an excellent and able board
of trustees was appointed to look after
tMs noble charity; and their character,
and the zeal and excellence of their gen
eral agent, are sufficient guarantees that
the beautiful “Home” in the suburbs of
Atlanta will be enlarged so as to accomo
date many moro of the needy unfortu
nates. For this good causo I can only
add, “so moto it be,”
Tho Executive Committee’s report was
then adopted. From it we learn that the
committee is aiding twelve young men in
obtaining an education in Mercer Univer
sity, with tho ministry in view. The re
port also announces the prosperous con
dition of Hearn school, at Cave Spring
in North Georgia, one of the three hig'
schools under the care of tho Board of
Trustees of Mercer University—the other
two being at Penfield and Dalton. That
at Penfield is called the “M ereer High
School,” and that at Dalton the “Craw
ford High School,” both of wMch are
flourishing.
The Executive Committee, in response
to instructions given at the last conven
tion, reported, “that in view of tho great
pecuniary stringency, they believe it an
unpropitiou3 time to inaugurate any new
schemes of benevolence,” presenting tho
encouraging statement, however, that
union and co-operation sought to be es
tablished between the convention and
the associations ha3 in a manner been
realized through Bev. T. C. Boykin, S. S.
Superintendent, who has been a connect
ing link in the Sunday-school work be
tween tho churches and the convention.
8 P. ar.—The convention mot in the old
hall of representatives to-night to hear
the report of tho standing committee on
temperance, wMch was adopted after
a most able and eloquent address by
Bev. J. J. Hickman, of Kentucky. The
address was nearly two hours in length
and said by many to be tbo ablest and
most eloquent temperance address they
over heard. It possessed originality,
brilliancy, and was in tho highest degree
stirring in its appeals. In response tho
whole convention rose resolving to main
tain the causo of temperance. The re
port on education took lofty ground for
: ;lio education of young men, and spoke
in flattering terms of tho exccllenco and
success of Mercer University, whero ono
hundred and fifty young men are pursu
ing their studies, intending to finish the
curriculum as graduates of the bachelor’s
degree. About a score of these have tho
ministry in view. There aro seven stu
dents in the law school, wMch has three
professors, and they expect to graduate
next July and will then ba entitled to
practice in the courts of the State.
An appeal for a larger endowment is
made, tho scheme of unifying the de
nominational and State colleges into a
common university, being checked and
probably defeated entirely.
The report on missions advocated a
larger liberality—or rather liberality
from a larger number. It says of the
Boards of our General Convention—that
“they aro doing a great work,” and
“they form bonds of union to bind to
gether in barmoniou3 co-operatioD, tho
Baptist family of the South.”
The report of tho Treasurer of tho
convention was made, and tho following
i3 a recapitulation of it:
Permanent fund for education $25,891 SO
Permanent mission fund 200 00
Incligont orphan fund 1.810 75
Hearn school fund _ 5,765 Di
Town lot fund 207 00

$33,902 SO
With their elegant buildiag3 and town
lot in Macon as a nucleus, cr foundation,
your readers can see tho necessity for the
endowment movement, soon to bo inau
gurated by tho Trustees of tho Univer
sity, and which, it is hoped, will place
Mercer upon tbo solid and sound financial
basis on wMch it rested before tbo war.
There is to be an educational mass-meet
ing to-night, and from indications I
gather a grand movement will be
inaugurated to- secure, at an early day,
au endowment fund of half a million for
Mercer University. Tho Baptists of
Georgia aro determined to let their Uni
versity be second to none in educational
advantage, and it is proposed to take ad
vantages of tbe-grand Centennial move
ment, to awaken an enthusiasm as to
enlarging the endowment of our univer
sity. That a grand success will be at
tained, and that “Mercer” will bo au
honor to Macon, and fulfill her fullest ex
pectations need not be doubted.
Since my last, other “distinguished ar
rivals” might mo chronicled, including
Dr. Wm. H. McIntosh, of your city.
There is hardly a Baptist of note in the
State who is not here, and the session
thu3 far has been exceedingly harmo
nious. I suppose an adjournment will
not take place till Monday afternoon, and
matters of interest are rapidly culmi
nating, 03 is always the cose towards the
close of our convention. B.

FBOH MEXICO.
Letter from c. A. N.
Vera Cruz, April 9,1875.
On Sunday at 1 p. x., the good steam
ship, City of Havana, left the port of
New Orleans with the following remnant
of the Senatorial excursionalists: Col.
Thomas A. Scott, wife and private secre
taiy, Maj. Ben Perley Poore and daugh-
ter, Miss Nellie Peters, Joseph E. Brown
and wife and eon, and Lemuel P. Grant,
rapid run was made down the river with
® view to crossing the bar before dark,
hut the fates were against us, as the ship
brought up hard and fast in the mud
whero wo remained until early morn,
when getting again underway we headed
for Tampico.
It is proper here to remark that fbia
lino of steamships receives a handsome
subsidy, mostly from the Mexican Gov
ernment, for the following service: Leav
ing New York every three weeks, touches
at Havana, Progresso and Campeachy in
Yucatan, Vera Cruz, Toxpan and Tampi
co—thence to New Orleans, returning by
the samo route to New York.
passengers.
Among tho passengers outside our
party aro found the following notables
Confederate General Thomas A. Harris,
editor of the New Orleans Times—a man
of fine ability and of fine colloquial en
dowments, ex-Congress man TV. TV. Phelps,
of New Jersey, Bichard Wightman, ono
of the editors of tho New Orleans Pica
yune, and bride, and ex-fifteen hour car
pet-bagger Congressman General George
A. Sheridan, of Louisiana. Sbendan H
a man of fair ability, pregnant with rep
artees, sharp, and at times vulgar witti
cisms—% jolly fellow in its broadest
sense,—would make an excellent, popular
clown, barring the acrobatic part of the
performance—for in physique he very
much resembles Macon’s favorite comic
songster.
THE VOYAGE—FREIGHTING UNDER DIFFI
CULTIES.
Nothing occurred to vary the monotony
of the voyage until we dropped anchor
at noon on Wednesday, off the town of
Tampico. A small steamer towing
lighter soon came along-side, bringing _
few passengers (Mexicans) and a light
freight, consisting chiefly of silver coin
and Vanilla beans. Transferring freight
to and from sMp to lighter in a rolling
sea i3 an amusing, U not a hazardous
business. Three heavy barrels slipped
from their fastenings, splashed into the
sea and disappeared. The job was finally
over, when late in the day the vessel was
headed for Tnxpan about 100 miles dis
tant. A slow run brought us off the
town at eight o’clock, Thursday morning.
There i3 only seven feet of water on the
bar with heavy breakers running. A veiy
small river steamer ventured out bring
ing two passengers and a small freight of
silver coin and Vanilla beans. Theso
beans aro very valuable—worth their
weight in silver here.
The sea was too rough for a lighter to
venture out, although the vessel had on
board forty tons of freight, some of it
havmg already been carried past the port
three or four times. This freight is car
ried to Vera Cruz, transferred to tho out-
coming steamer from New York and
another effort mado to land it. If un
successful, the trial is made again and
again, until it is delivered. There is no
safety in shipping perishable merchan
dize to these port3 when there i3 so much
irregularity in its being delivered.
APPROACH TO VERA CRUZ.
Weighed anchor at 5 p. sr. and steamed
slowly for Vera Cruz. Early morning
found us in fall view of the city. The
harbor, though not a good one, is the last
on the Gulf; is somewhat protected by a
row of cliffs wMch extend in a northeast
direction from fortress San Juan de Ulloa,
about one mile into tho open sea. Ves
sels anchor half a mile from shore under
the walls of the fortress in thirty-five
feet water. Freight 13 discharged at a
cost of $1.20 per ton. The lighters dis
charge their freight on a strongly built
granite wharf, or quay, wMch is about
eight feet above tho water and extending
out into the sea threo hundred and fifty
feet. All passengers and freights are re
quired to land at tMs quay.
The boatmen aro as clamorous and per
sistent as New York hackmen. Mr.
Scott’s private secretary contracted for
the party to be landed on the quay and
baggage delivered at tho hotel, for $12—
which contract was faithfully and
promptly executed. There wa3 no annoy
ance in examining baggage, and we at
once passed through tho heavy arched
gateway at the end of tho quay into the
city and to tho diligence of the hotel.
THE CITY".
Tho city, with its enclosures, from a
distance, is of a palo yellow—about the
color of a fire-brick; and a3 wo reach tho
inside retains the some general color.
The buildings are mostly of brick and
coral rock—floors and roofs of tiles. But
little timber used in their construction.
They have no cMmneys or henting appa
ratus whatever, and it would be next to
impossible to create much of a conflagra
tion.
The city is enclosed by a wall 5 feet
thick and 15 feet Mgh built of coral root.
It has 6 gates, at tho various and neces
sary points of outlet. Tho cathedral is
