Chicago is swamped financially. The
delinquent tax-list foots up $6,750,000,
and the city is borrowing money to meet
the deficits in its treasury by reason of
the shortcomings of tax-payers. But
worse than that, it i3 acknowledged that
if all the delinquent taxes were collected
they would not be sufficient to pay the
outstanding liabilities of the city not pro

Ik an address delivered by Dr. Ham
mond, of New York city, on his re-elec

cal Society, and reported in full in the
Tribune, he advocates the theory that the
Bpinal chord to some extent shares with
the brain tho faculties of perception and
volition. The experiments and observa

any other supposition.
The iron interests of Virginia are look

to the Bichmond Dispatch says "Captain
John James Dillard sold his tract of 13G

back, for $6,000. S. B. "Walker sold his

He had made a million by inventing a

She was small footed, but very plump;
he was large footed, but gaunt; and he

accepted. And then sho tried to get the
boots on. And then he didn’t have to
get the gloves. Of course, this happened
in St. Louis. The Republican relates the
story, and its ingenuity in explaining the
lady's failure is a pardonable exhibition
of local pride.
A "bond funder” is wanted in Bich

The Bhode Island doctors recently
took cognizance of the tribulations of
school children in the public schools, and
in a set of resolutions very sensibly de
clared that scholars in the public schools
should not maintain the same position
more than half an hour at a time; that
no child should bo admitted to the
schools, as now conducted, under seven
years of age; that under twelve years of
age, three hours a day, and for twelve
and over, four hours a day, is sufficiently
long confinement; that study out of
school should not usually be permitted;
and that all incentives to emulation
should be used cautiously, especially
with girls.
A Chance far "Builltl’’ Sheridan la
New Hampshire.
The New York Sun thinks it is not cer
tain after all that the Badicals will have
the next Governor of New Hampshire.
There was no choice by the people, and
the election, therefore, goes to the Leg
islature. The Badicals have claimed
a majority in the new Legislature which
was elected in March, bat there are
enough contested seats to leave this ques
tion in doubt. As the Clerk of the last
House is a Democrat, and be, under tho
law, will have the power of making up
the list of members entitled to seats in
the House of Bepresentatives, while the
decision of the contested seats in the
Senate rests with the present Governor
and Council, who are likewise Democrats,
it will be seen that the Democrats have
tho power to imitate the example which
the Badicals have set them in Louis
iana and in Congress, and seat tbo con
testants who are of their own political
faith without regard to the legality of
their election. Some of the Badical pol
iticians profess to believe that this will
be done, and of course they are over
whelmed with indignation at tho atrocity
of such an idea, though they looked with
entire equanimity upon tho proceedings
of Grant, Kellogg and Sheridan, when
they unlawfully used Federal troops to
crush popularrepresentationinLouisiana,
and to enforce the fraudulent work of a
partisan Betuming Board. It has even
been reported that a Federal official bas
written to Grant upon tbe subject, and
Lag received assurances from that self-
complacent functionary that if Federal
interference is necessary in order to give
the Badicals control, it shall be forth
coming. _
Keport of State Geologist Geo*
little, Esq.
This official received his commission on
th 31st of August, and in fifteen days af
terwards started, passing through Doug
lass, Carroll, Haralson, Paulding and
Cobb counties.
By tho consent of the board he had
been provided with two assistants to-wit
A. B. McCutchen, of "Walker county, and
W. T. Schley, of Savannah.
Arrived at Marietta, the party divided,
Mr. Schley passing through Bartow,
Pickens, Gilmer, Fannin, Murray, Whit
field and Gordon counties, to Adairsvillc,
while Mr. McCutchen went to Dalton,
and through Walker, Chattooga, Dade
and Cotoosa counties, and Mr. Little go
ing over Cherokee, Pickens, Gilmer,
Murray, Whitfield and Gordon counties,
by a different route from that of Mr.
ScMey, all meeting at Adairsville,” from
whence began a thorough survey of Bar
tow county.
C. A. Locko was appointed civil engi
neer, and W. J. Lane analyzer of ores and
minerals, the former assisted by Mr. Jno.
C. Houston.
Nothing can better show the import
ance of a thorough survey of the mineral
region, than the fact mentioned by Mr.
Little, that in his explorations of tho
Duck Town copper vein, in many places
he encountered parties of poor and igno
rant men, “ wasting time and energy in
digging deep pits, long tunnels and huge
excavations,” misled by fallacious appear
ances of ore on the surface, which the eye
of science could at once have detected.
For want of thi3 knowledge thousands
will bo sunk, and ruin and disappoint
ment overtake the prospecters. Some of
these unfortunates were the victims of
charlatan experts who, for a " considera
tion,” had undertaken to ascertain where
the deposits were to be found.
Mr. Little considers of far more im
portance to the State the immense beds of
iron, which are found " at intervals along
our route from the Tennessee line in Fan
nin county to the Etowah river, near
Cartcisville, and thence westward from
Alatoona to Pryor’s Station, on tho Ala
bama line.” The mostextensive of these
lie3 about five miles from Cedartown, on
the line of the Cartersville and Van Wert
railroad.
EIGHT FURNACES
for the smelting of iron are described,
situated in Cherokee, Floyd and Bartow
counties, involving the outlay of a very
large amount of capital. The business,
however, is but in its infancy. Of coal,
there is tbe mine worked by Gov. Jos.
E. Brown in Dadfc county, which sup.
plie3 a large proportion of the fuel used
in Atlanta, besides coke. Another coal
bank bas recently been opened by Tim
Miller, under tbe west brow of Lookout
Mountain. As yet very little has been
quarried, though the quality is excellent.
Of slate, there is any quantity near
Van Wert, Bockmart, ond other points,
which, when opened up by rail to mar
ket, will add vastly to the resources of
that portion of the State.
The gold mine of Judge Zed Bonner
in Carroll county, in twenty years (from
1840 to 1860), from an outlay of $500,
yielded sufficient treasure to purchase his
land (1,215 acres) and pay for 200 ne
groes. Tt is still a source of much profit
to him.
But is impossible to give an account
of all tbo minerals, metals, marbles, etc.,
which are mentioned in the report of onr
State Geolist. These embrace twenty-
four varieties, to-wit, copper, iron, gold,
galena, marble, slate, mica, kaolin, tour
maline, rutile, kyanite, garnet, graphite,
coal, gneiss, granite, asbestos, steatite,
staurodite, sandstone, hornblende, wavel-
lite and tetradymite.
As yet. he has hardly entered upon tho
threshhold of his labors, but even tbe
slight progress made is full of interest,
and, we trust, may open tbe eyes of the
natives to the true value of their landed
possessions. Up to this period foreign
parties, for the most part, have reaped
all the revenues and advantages derived
from them.
Thus, tho representative of a wealthy
manufacturing company hears of theso
mineral lauds, and accompanied by a com
petent surveyor and geologist, quietly
prospects all through them, selects the
best, and then, through some third party
buys, those he has located at their nomi
nal value only for agricultural purposes.
In thi3 way the most valuable iron bank
in this State was bought by a Now York
er for $3,000. Another property yielding
at the rate of $60,000 per annum "was
lately purchased lor four hundred dollars.”
It the adequate survey and proper
mapping of onr precious mineral districts
can be made, it will prove a saving of
millions to the owner.-:. Ton years it is
estimated will be requisite to complete the
work.
Hie “Third Party** Movement.
Under thl3 head, the Baltimore Sun’s
Washington correspondent, under date of
Tuesday, telegraphs as follows:
The fact that tbe recent dinner to ex-
Senator Schurs. in New York, was the
initial step in a movement to reorganize
tbe third party (so-called) for the next
Presidential campaign has been consid
erably commented upon in political cir
cles. The prime movers in this attempt
are understood to be all Western men.
Although Mr. Evarts presided at the
meeting, and although his name has been
mentioned as the possible Presidential
candidate of tbe party, it is understood
very positively that Ms own motives in
being present were merely to show a per
sonal compliment to Mr. Schnrz. The
general opinion here is that tbe third
party idea has been so effectually explo
ded that it is useless to undertake to re
suscitate it. Although tho gentlemen
now essaying to rerive the third party
may in the next twelve months figure
very prominently before tbo country
in interviews, etc., they will find, when
election day comes, that they have no
following at the polls. Mr. Halstead,
who now expresses so much confidence in
tho results to be attained by the reor
ganization of tbe third party, was no less
confident of its grand destiny in the cam
paign of 1872 in his own State of Ohio,
when it polled but a minute fraction of
tho votes. The "independent voters” on
whom Mr. Halstead now counts to make
up tho hulk of his third party will do as
they have done, select the best men for
their suffrages without any regard to the
party wMch nominates them. Therefore
itis not believed here that the third party,
as a party, can form any powerful ele
ment in tie great Presidential contest offi
next year. But no question is enter
tained by the far-seeing politicians who
congregate here that the "independent
voters” will hold tho balance of power in
187G as in 1871; that they will seek out
the best men, and will not be allured by
any catchpenny party terms.
The country is in no mood to tolerate
any such foolishness as a “third party.
The issues between the Democratic and
Badical parties are so well defined and
irreconcilable, that overyihone3t man will
be compelled to take bis stand with one
or the other organization. The Demo
crats will offer these soro heads an unex
ceptionable declaration of principles and
on equally unexceptionable candidate,
and if they are honest in their objections
to Badicalism and it3 evil works, they
must come to us. Tho year of grace,
1876, will witness the most desperate
battle between the friends and enemies
of good government ever fought in this
country, and those who are not decidedly
and enthusiastically for ns, must go to
their proper place in the camp of the en
emy. They might as well fay to stand
np against a cyclone as to maintain an
independent position in the shock and
crash of that great conflict. There 13
neither room nor reason for them, and
the common sense and common honesty
of the country will cry out against their
preposterous pretensions to independence
in such a crisis.

NOTES ON THE WAT.
The crop indications on tho road from
Macon to Atlanta, are still inchoate as to
com. There is a reasonable show for
oats and wheat, but too much of these
are so light that they will not pay for the
growing.
At Griffin, Hon. A. H. Stephens got
aboard the train. Having read so much
about I113 ghastliness, I was surprised to
see him looking well—for him. As I met
him. he and his crowd had just been
turned out of the negro car by tbe con*
ductor. This road enforces civil rights
by maintaining the right of each race to
exclusively separate accommodations.
Stephens had for a satellite a newpa-
per interviewer, who was after him, note
book in hand—catching drops of wisdom
as they fell.
The educational convention at Griffin,
was well attended and was ju3t dispers.
ing as we past. A good many delegates
are aboard.
And speaking of education, I learn
from Col. WMttle, who is on tho train,
that all obstacles are now removed to
the sale of tho square in Macon now oc
cupied by the old Bibb County Acade
my. This will soon be divided into lots,
and put on tho market. This sale, to
gether with funds already in the hands
by tho trnstccs, will enable them to pnt
up a fine edifice, which they propose to
devote to the uses of the male branch of
the High School. The trustees of tho
Alexander Free School Fund will afao
put up a good building to be used for the
female branch of the High School. Ma
con will soon have unrivalled educational
facilities if she does not prove false to
herself. Her colleges and schools will
make her the literary centre of the State.
More Miserable Strikes.
When will poverty-smitten labor learn
that it is like dasMfig their heads against
a stone wall, to attempt to suppress cap
ital and machinery. And even if they
succeeded, what then? Who would afford
food and sustenance for their starving
families ?
But the result, in ninety-nine instan
ces ont of a hundred is, that the weaker
succumbs to tho stronger, or are left out
in the cold, and others, not so bull-head,
ed, take their places. Why can’t they
remember that the only safe balance
wheels and regulators of labor, trade and
exchange, are supply and demand, and
wholesome competition ? One manufac
turer, anxious to undersell another, or
increase hi3 business, will pay tho very
Mghest wages in his power for labor, and
sell his fabrics at their minimum valua
tion. This he does of his own free will.
And this competition is the life of busi
ness. Bat when government, or the mob
interferes.private enterprise shrinks away
aghast, and commerce and industry
dwindle and die.
The last sensation is, that six hundred
and fifty men at work on the new tunnel
of the Delaware and Lackawana Bail-
road, in Jersey City, had struck for high,
er wages, and were now idle and liable
to starve.
Well, ’tis the same dreary story which
will result in no advantage to either par
ty, bnt in the unmitigated rain and mis
ery of hundreds of innocent women and
children.

Good lor Kentucky.
We aro rathor pleased to see that the
effort by tho Grangers and a religions
sect in Kentucky to control tho politics
of that State has been signally foiled by
tbe defeat of their candidate for Govern
or, Gen. John S. Williams—known to ad
miring friends a3 "Cerro Gordo” Wil
liams. His canvass was based upon the
supposed strength of tho organizations
above named, and consisted mainly of
appeals to their prejudices, and a glori
fication of his reoord in two wars. From
what we have read of Mm, he sccm3 to
be a most unfit person for tbe dignities,
the duties and responsibilities of Gov
ernor of such a State as Kentucky, and
Ms defeat therefore is her gain. Mr.
McCreary, the successful man, was
Speaker of the last House of Bepresenta
tives of the State Legislature, and has a
Mgh reputation throughout the State.
A Fatal Policy—Persecution the Poor

By cable we learn that Dr. Falk, Min
ister of Public Instruction in Prussia, in
troduced a bill into the Lower Honso of
tho Diet on the 1st instant, for the sup
pression of religions orders in Prussia.
It provides that all religions orders shall
be excluded from Prussia. Existing es
tablishments are forbidden to receive
new members, and their present organi
zation must be dissolved within sir
months after tbe passage of the bill.
Partial exception is made in favor of
religions bodies engaged in the work of

The property of the convents is not to

This wholesale proscription finds bnt
few parallels in history, and i3, indeed,
most short-sighted and deplorable.
Moreover, it will cause tbe fires of fanati
cism to blaze forth again, and arouse pas
sions in the human heart which can only
be quenched in blood. All the Catholics
in Europe and Christendom will take sides
actively or in sentiment, and renewed
conflicts and convulsions may fce reasona
bly anticipated. Besides, it is to be
feared that Christain charity will receive
a serious set-back throughout tbe whole
world, and bigotry and intolerance take
tho places of brotherly love and fraternity.
This, abovo all things, is to ho deprecated
as a living refutation of tho purest doc
trines of Christianity, and the divine
command that "ye love one another.’
How long will it require tho nations to
learn that propagandism by persecution
and the sword are impossible, and even
temporary ascendancy acMeved through
violence, is certain to be followed by a re
action as potent as it is inevitable. In
other words, to quote the apothegm of
the ancients, "the blood of tho martyrs i3
the seed of the church.”
In America, at least, we trust all Pro
testants will prove to their Catholic fel
low citizens by increased kindness and
liberality, that religion is not a matter
of brute force, hat of conviction and be
lief. Let each sect have equal privileges
and fall freedom to proclaim its individ
ual tenets, and tho two-edged sword of
the word of God, and irrepressible truth
alone decide all controversies. That
wMch is of earth, earthy, we know must
perish. Bnt the eternal purposes of God
and the Gospel He has ordained will stand
forever, despite persecution, and the ef
forts of all the powers of darkness.
Woe to the Victims of Tooth,
ache.
One of their number, before leaving,
assured the writer that every dentist in
tho city, save one, was bound for Cum
berland Island. Haring bored out, filled
again, or extracted every ailing molar in
tbe wide extent of tbeir practice, or better
still, grubbed np the whole concern by
tho roots, and planted equally ser
viceable, bnt nerveless sets in their places,
they now, like Alexander of old, sigh for
new fields of enterprise which they may
overrun and conquer.
Hence this expedition against the fish
es. And if they prove equally skillful in
fingering the months of the denizens of
the deep, the last one of them will bo
landed on tbe strand.
But now comes the question, who pays
their fees ? Still, this is easily answered.
These dental fishermen have faith, and,
moreover, are very practical and literal
in their views. Doubtless like their pre
decessors of Judea, they will search every
mouth for a piece of silver. Well, when
ice is made in midsummer, and a little
piece of rosin can evolve gas enough to
light a great city, it is not for ns to af
firm that the age of miracles exists no
longer. But we have one warning to ad
minister, based upon experimental and
crucial observation. Let them beware
how they rummage the months of the ra
pacious toads, whose name is legion in
those waters, or sundry digits will be left
in their insatiable maws. No chance for
pay in their throats, however sublime
may be tho faith practically evinced.
In tho meantime, all new victims of
tooth-ache must fall back on laudanum
and creosote, and pray for the safe return
of their deliverers, who can’t be served
by tbeir sole representative.
A free lance in politics is apt to be
come os disreputable a character as a free
lance in war. It is so easy for an inde
pendent voter to imagine that he sees

to Mm, that Ms conscience grows un
trustworthy in a little while, and after
he has been on both sides of a question a
few times ho put3 on tho synic, and as
sumes that all parties are alike to be de

If tho editor of tbe Sentinel lives one
thousand years and writes five columns
every day during that time, he will never
Mt the nail on tho head more squarely
than in the above. Wo have watched
the career of some of theso "free lances,”
and they invariably de jnst as tbo Sen
tinel says: See, or pretend to see "re
form" in the direction of the spoils.
They boast londly of tbeir freedom from
political prejudices, and repel most in
dignantly tbe idea of being politicians,
bnt at the same time spend most of tbeir
lives practicing the politician’s arts—
that is, if an office is in sight. And, strange
to say, they imposo upon some people
otherwise shrewd and clear brained.
Tho trnth of tho whole matter is just
this: That as there aro bnt two parties
in this country, each seeking the most
diverse ends, upon the accomplishment
of which depends the life or death of
liberty and law, so there can be no such
thing as independence of both in the
sense of seeking to accomplish practical
results. In these days a man inaBt be
either Democrat or Badical—the friend
or enemy of good government. Tho farce
of being independent in politics was
played ont when the Badical party took
possession of the government. That act
dug, broad and deep, tho gulf between
those who sought to save* and those who
sought to destroy constitutional liberty
and local self-government.

The Columbus Times has the following
details of a tornado that passed over
Stewart county last Mondity night:
It crossed the Chattahoochee and en

Here houses were blown down and every
thing devastated. A negro on tbe place
was killed. Two mules in the lot were
also killed, Mr. T. B. Lawson suffered
heavily. His place was badly blown to
pieces. All the out-houses were blown
down, and tho dwelling turned around
and unroofed. Nobody seriously hurt.
One of Hr. G. Y. Banks’ plantations suf
fered very much. Tho houses and fencing
aro almost all gone, and tho woodland
torn to pieces. In 1836 a remarkable cy-
clono passed through Stewart county, de

its predecessor. It wa3 upwards of

badly hurt. His farm is left a perfect
wreck. Judge H. M. Jenkins lost all Ms
houses. Two rooms of a largo dwelling
are all that is left. Everything else is
swept away. Dr. Griffin’s houses and
fences were blown down and destroyed,
He and bis wife were badly hurt. Mr,
W. G. Ward lost heavily. Hfa dwelling
and outhouses were destroyed and be was
badly crippled. Boulan Church wa3 torn
to pieces and scattered far and wide.
Henry Gordy, who lives at Green Hill,
lost all bis outhouses and his dwelling.
Fences andtree3 were blown in all di
rections. Particulars of tbe ravages of
the storm beyond this point have not yet
been received. Itis feared it did much
damage in other parts of tho county.
During the tornado the hardest rain
ever known in the county fell. There
was also some hail. The farmera in tho
dreadful tornado’s track suffered terribly.
On tbe same night a tornado occurred
in ScMey county, oE which tbe Americas
Republican says:
Tho storm appeared in its fury near
Judge Montgomery’s residence and its
centre passed through Ellaville, with a
front of destructive power about one mile
in length, and continuing beyond Ella-
rillo E. N. E. two or threo miles. Gus
Cox’s dwelling was completely demolish
ed and the lighter timbers scattered over
many acres in area. His family, includ
ing himself, wifo and two children, were
miraculously preserved from death.
They were all in tho house when the
wind lifted it bodily from tho foundations,
opened its walls and completely destroy
ed it. Mrs. Cox had her sick infant in
her arms, protected by a pillow; she was
slightly braised on the head. Mr. Cox
was also struck by a piece of falling tim
ber, bnt not seriously hurt. The furni
ture was destroyed. A negro man, on
Montgomery’s farm, had his house blown
down and himself and wife severely hurt.
There wero some other instances of inju
ries to persons. Capt. Burton bad his
stock shelter blown down and one mule
killed and ono injured. Scovil’s black
smith shop wa3 completely destroyed;
Wo. Allen lost all of Ms out-house3. A
house in front of Cox’s (unoccupied) went
by the board. Many chimneys and small
out-houses were blown down. One-third
of tbo beautiful oaks and bickorys in tbe
public square were torn np by the roots.
The Albany News announces tbe death
in that place on Wednesday evening, of
Mrs. Ellen Bennett, in her seventy.sixth
year, of ossification of the valves of the
heart. Her remains wero brought to
Macon, her old home, on Thursday, for
interment. Mrs. B. wa3 the mother of
Captain Joe Bennett, the well-known
conductor on the Albany branch of the
Soathwcstern railroad.
We clip as follows from the News:
CbopNsw3.—In tho whole of South
west Georgia, south of a line running
from Hawkinsvillo via Fort Valley to Co
lumbus, the crop prospect is remarkably
good, considering tbe backwardness of
the season, and the inauspicious weather
since planting time set in. We hear no
complaint of the stand, either of cotton
or corn, while many planters brag of bet
ter stands than for many years. It is
also admitted that tbe crops, os a general
role, are in good condition, and that la
bor is equal to tbe emergenoy. If this
crop intelligence be true, and no disas
ter shall come upon our people till har
vest time, Southwestern Georgia will get
out of the wilderness, and sing hallelu
jah at tbe Centennial.
The Jones murder case, of Terrell, bas
at last assumed a more monstrous com
plexion than tbe Eberharfc tragedy, and
is bnt little inferior to tbe Beecher scan
dal. Bowen and Jackson, the two white
men employed on the place, were last
week committed without bail charged
with the murder, and the circumstantial
evidence upon which they wore incarcer
ated, seriously, if not fatally, implicates
a lady in the conspiracy. The details of
the eridenoe are simply horrible, whilst
rumor is defiant and daring in
ing, accusation and denunciation. An
estate of seventy-five or eighty thousand
dollars is involved.
The other day, in open court, ex-Judge
Strozer sought to place a demand for
trial on the minutes, and referred to the
"former practice in this court” in sup
port of Ms motion, when Judge Wright
playfully remarked, "that is not good
authority in this court.” Here ucm.
Morgan interposed a remark as to what
Judge Strozer once required Mm to do
in a similar case, to which the Judge
quickly replied: "Oh, I am not talking
abont what I did, I am talking about
what’s right.”
The Borne Courier says Mr. James R.
Blount left that place for Macon on
Wednesiay, whence he will start for
Egypt en the 20th of Jane, to take ser
vice as Major of artillery in the army of
the Khedive.

captured a negro named Dan Wallace,
who hod committed a rape on Miss Dan

came and carried the scoundrel back last
Thursday, handcuffed and tied to

We find this mysterious—and bob
tailed—paragraph in the Atlanta Herald,
of Friday:
On tho upward bound train on the Ma
con and Western division of the Central
railroad from Griffin, yesterday, were the
Hon. A. H. Stephens, Col. Clisby, of the
Macon Telegraph and Messenger, and
that fine old gentleman, CoL C. Peeples, of
this city. As is usual with Mr. Stephens, he
took what he thought the second class
car, so that he could indulge in Ms pipe
and conversation without offence to any
one. Everything went pleasant enough,
because nobody thought anytMng wa3
wrong. Pretty soon an old blind negro
man, with Ms wife, entered the car and
seated themselves. Nothing was thought
of this proceeding, and the "Vice Presi
dent, editor and lawyer imagined.
A Griffin correspondent of the same
paper writes a3 follows:
Tho Teachers’ Association, although
not as largely attended as was expected,
nevertheless was a fair representation of
Georgia’s pedagogues. It is evident to a
casual observer that there i3 not that har
mony and entente cordiale enjoyed between
these brethren of the "rule and ferrule”
as might bo desirable. It is whispered
around that tbe concern is controlled by
a certain “ring” who insist upon none
but Northern publications, as being tbe
only “complete and correct” series, being
used, while others insist that there may
be some good, even in “Nazareth”—or
the South. We regret to see this differ
ence manifested, and it will eventually
redound to tho disturbance of tho Geor
gia Teachers’ Association. If text books
by Southern men are not good enough
for Southern children, then it i3 time
Southern parents were made aware of the
fact, in order that they may anticipate
what sort of an education they may ex
pect to receive. While it is a fact that
the controlling spirits of, not only our
most important institutions of learning
are managed by people of Northern birth,
all oar associations and a majority of
the agencies for school books are
either of Northern birth or insist upon
introducing into our public schools books
by men of foreign extraction to tbe al
most utter and entire disregard of tbe
claims which our Southern authors have
upon our section. We call no names, but
leave this bare statement to tbe consid
eration of those who havo cMldren to ed
ucate. We must not be understood as
inveighing agaiust those people who como
amongst us for tbo purpose of assisting
m training onr children; because, no
doubt, they come with tho loftiest emo
tions and kindliest sentiments, but still
they act and work as though nothing
good can originate in the school book
lino outside of New England, and all at
tempts of our authors to instil our pe
culiar sentiments into tbe mind of the
Southern youth are to be set aside to
make room for other authors and publi
cations. And so long a3 our own leaders
in the matter of school-room education,
tamely submit to be dragooned and forced
into the adoption of books wMcb, if not
positively repugnant in sentiment, ar6 at
least so, by surrounding circumstances,
so long may we expect our children to
grow up with ideas which are at variance
with tho traditions of our alders.
Wb find the following in the Chronicle
and Sentinel, and take great pleasure in
giving it our hearty endorsement.
Tho Bichmond TYhty nominates CoL
Albert B. Lamar, of Georgia, os a candi
date for Clerk of the House of Represen
tatives. As the Southern Democrats will
not urge any man from this section for
the Speakership, the South should bo al
lowed to name the Clerk. Colonel La
mar was Secretary of tho Confederate
States Senate, is a gentleman of high
standing and great ability, and i3 an ad
mirable selection for the position.
The some paper says the case of Miles
G. Dobbin vs. tbe Augusta Insurance
and Banking Company etal. was tried in
Richmond Superior Court on Thursday.
Dobbins sued tbe bank, it3 directors and
certain stockholders "to recover the fall
value of certain bills of said tank, held
by complainant and amounting in the
aggregate to $29,000. The complainant
alleged that if these bills were isaned in
aid of the rebellion, or other illegal pur
pose, it was done withont notice to Mm
and withont Ms knowledge or consent.
His ground of complaint against the Di
rectors was, that they mismanaged the
assets of the bank, sold specie for Con
federate money when tbe same should
havo been held to meet the bills, and
paid out dividends to stockholders during
the suspension of specie payment, in ex
cess of seven per cent, per annum con
trary to law as prescribed in the act of
1857, which first authorized such suspen
sion and the general features of which
wero never repealed. He asks that the
stockholders named in the bill be com
pelled to return the amount of dividends
in excess of seven per cent, during the
time of such suspensions of specie pay
ment.”
Tho jury found for tho defendants.
The Augusta Constitutionalist says "the

Judge Bradley, of the Federal Su
preme Court, ham arrived at Savannah,
and presided is the Circuit Coart or Fri
day.
Wx quote the following from the Sa
vannah Advertiser s .
Speaks Well.—A gentleman was pick
ed np Wednesday night on the streets of
Savannah, drunk, and at the fame he had
on his person over $1,000 in mosey and a
gold watch and chain, which he was de
lighted to find all in order and correct
when tamed over to Mm yesterday
morning by the officers of the barracks.
"Speaks well” for who—the police ?
A Blacks hear correspondent of the
Savannah News writes that Mr. J.W.
^Bro there, of that place, shot and killed a
man who was attempting to Butlerize
his house last Tuesday night.
We clip es follows from the Columbus
Enguirer-Sun of Friday:
Five Hundred Dollars in Gold and
$700 Piano.—Mr. J. M. Weaver, of
Talbot connty, whose house was blown
down in the late cyclone, had $500 in
gold. He has not heard of a cent of it
since the blow. The house, in which it
was, was tom to pieces, as well as that of
Mr. M. Y. Wilson. Besides Ms gold.
Hr. Weaver hod a $700 piano, wMch he
had jnst bought, tom to pieces.
Losses in Talbot County.—Judge J.
F. Pon, who has jnst returned from Tal
bot valley, reports the losses by the
storm in that vicinity have been exag
gerated. The only wMte deaths he was
able to hear of were those of Joe Ken
dricks, a wMte boy, and Mrs. Kennedy.
In addition, four or five negroes were
killed.
Force of the Wind.—In Talbot connty
last Saturday the storm blew a negro
woman two hundred and fifty yards. The
fall broke her neck and she died in
stantly.
Destruction of Churches.—The
storms of the .past two months have been
very destructive to tho country church
buildings. We believe we have heard of
eight in the counties of Harris, Talbot
and Stewart wMch have been swept away.
In Talbot valley last Saturday, two that
were standing close to each other—a mis
sionary and anti-missionary Baptist—
were scattered to the four winds. The
storm in Stewart connty, on Monday, did
not spare the churches. Beulah church
(Baptist)—one of the best framed conn-
tty churches in the section—was torn to
pieces.
Preparing for the Next.—People in
the vicinity of Waverly Hall, Harris
connty, are preparing for the next cyclone
by digging pits in the earth. There are
said to be some nineteen or twenty of
them ready for the next blow.
The Times says the Btorm Monday
night did great damage to the fruit in
and around Columbus. In one orchard
the hail beat off at least twenty-five
bushels of yonng apples.
Tornado Incidents.—The same pa
per says:
Several incidents are reported of the
fearful tornado wMch passed over Stew
art connty on last Monday night. Yes
terday we heard from good authority
that a most remarkable circumstance oc
curred at the residence of Mr. H. M.
Jenkins. Mr. Jenkins is an old man.
He and Ms wife slept in a corner room of
the honse. The storm made a general
havoc of Ms place. All his out-houses
were destroyed and the dwelling unroof
ed. It is asserted by an eye witness that
a plank from tbe roof was blown into tbe
boose with terrible force and driven into
tbe wall jnst over Mr. Jenkins and his
wife.. The plank was held so firmly in
position just above them that it was
impossible for them to rise. They
wero pinned down so tightly that they
lay thereuntil their neighbors found them
in this position and broke the plank off
so that they could rise. The follow
ing incident of childish simplicity and
innocence was related to ns by a gentle
man from Talbot county: "When the
bail storm of Monday was approaching,
the roar of the disturbed elements could
be beard several minutes before the fall
of tho hail. Mr. James Marshall, of
Talbot connty, who was with Ms family
at home, observing that Ms wife was
somewhat alarmed—she, doubtless, sup
posing, as many did, that it was another
cyclone—asked her not to be alarmed, as
"tbe Lord rode upon the storm.” His
little daughter, abont four years of age,
replied: "Yes; bnt I am afraid tbe
thing that the Lord rides upon might
throw Mm.”
The La Grange Reporter tells the fol
lowing tornado story, on the authority of
a negro who "norated” it at West Point:
It blew Mm from his mule, he said,
and as he went off he caught a pine tree
with a death-like grip; but this availed
notMng. The tree was tiristed np by
the roots and blown nearly a mile, with
Mm holding to it. When he recovered his
presenco of mind and picked Mmself up,
he found he was not hurt; his coat was
buttoned and his shoe3 were tied, just os
they were before the storm strack him;
but Ms 8ock3 and undershirt were gone.
“Now,” said he, “what I want ter know
is whar’s dem socks and dat 'ar shirt ?”
The West Point Press announces the
death at Austin, Texas, last Saturday
morning, of Dr. Hendloy V. Callaway,
late a well-known citizen of Leo county.
The Bainbridge Democrat says the
"buffalo gnat” has appeared in that
connty in large numbers and are very-
annoying to stock, though no deaths ar.-
yet reported.
We learn from the Greensboro Herald
that Mercer High School at Penfleld has
seventy-five students Also that land in
that county averaged seven dollars per
acre, at Sheriff’s sale last Tuesday.
The same paper has tho following con
cerning a former citizon of Mm on:
A letter from St. Louis, M<>., conveys
the sad intelligence, that Bev. Homer
Sendee is still in a very critical condi
tion. Should he survive, it is feared that
Ms mind will be a wreck.
The Griffin News says on last Tuesday
morning, Mrs. J. J. Harper, of Zebnlon,
while sitting alone by her fire, was at
tacked with spasms, and fell over into
the fire insensible. No one was present,
and the poor woman lay with her face
upon a tad of coals, until a servant came
in and dragged her mistress ont of the
fireplace. Dr. Green was immediately
called in, and everything possible was
done for tbe poor sufferer. Her right
eyo is destroyed, her nose and a portion
of her tongue very badly burnt. In fact
tbe face and bead were literally broiled
upon a bed of live coals. There is scarce
ly any hope of her recovery.
Frosr the Hawkinsville DispaIch: From
the 1st of November last to May 1st, 880

POLITICS OSTHE Biurc^
1R the Federal Supreme C. B «
Under this head the World 1 , Wa.h'7
ton special of Monday says a eoene^l
somewhat remarkable character cccjj
in the United States Supreme Court tW
day. For once, the political feeling
certain members of the Court. wlE
usually confined to the CouncU-roorT
broke ont in public, and sharp words**!
exchanged on the bench which created
something like a sensation amongT,
spectators. The occasion of this
ebullition of feeling was the delivery 0 i
the opinion of the majority of the CW
by Justice Strong in the case of the Union
Bank of New Orleans vs. the Mechanic?
and Traders’Bank. The former institu-
tion loaned the latter large stuns ot Con!
federate money about the time that Qm
Butler took command, in 1862.
days after the transaction Butler famed
an order forbidding the circulation of the
Confederate money on and after the 26ft
of May. The borrowing bank tendered
payment in Confederate notes, and ft.
Union tank refused to receive them, de'
mending United States money. Bntler
bad issued an order establishing a Fm.
vost Court, of wMch one Major Bell
presiding officer. Suit was brought fa
this court, and tho case was dfa.
missed. Two or three days after
its dismissal, Butler ordered the Provost
Court to rehear the case, and, fa
effect to decide in favor of the plaintiffs
When the defendant attempted to cite
the law in obstruction of this process
Butler’s judge informed him that it w«
no use to read the law to him, as he was
acting under orders from his superior
The decision of the case by the majority
turned not upon the question of the pay
ment of the money, but upon the legality
of the action of this trumped up tribunal,
wMoh Justice Strong sustained in »a
elaborate opinion, declaring that Butler
acted as the representative of the Fed
eral Administration, and that his right to
establish such a court followed from the
right of conquest. This decision fa au
ultra partisan attempt to sustain Butler’s
action in New Orleans. When Justice
Strong finished, Justice Field followed
with a long and most ably written dfa.
seating opinion, which he read with rig.
or, manifesting venr strong feeling by
the nervousness of Ms manner. He
showed clearlyth&t Bntler had not tbe
shadow of a right to establish anything
more than a common police court, and
that the orders of President Lincoln and
the previous decisions of the Supreme
Court made it unquestionable that
this was the extreme jurisdiction of
the military in dealing with civil of
fenders during tho war. Judge Field al
luded to Butler in terms of sharp sarcasm
and declared that he well knew that be
had no such authority as he then as
sumed and as the majority of the Court
now sanctioned. Justice Field has dis
sented from the opinion of tho majority
in several cases in which they have pro'-
viously made decisions showing a politi
cal bias in favor of Radical rule, but he
never arraigned their action so sharply
as to-day. While he was reading h£
opinion all the Justices turned toward
him to listen, and Justice Strong grew
very red in the face. At the end Mr.
Field announced that Justice Bradley de-
sired Mm to state that he was not pres
ent, and did not hear the arguments in
the case. Justice Strong replied with
much asperity that Mr. Bradley did not
dissent from the opinion of the majority,
to wMch Mr. Field made a further re
mark sotto voce, wMch wa3 not heard by
the Bar. The derision of the majority,
it will be observed, not only confirms
Batter’s right to establish a court to take
cognizance of civil cases, bnt to reverse
the decision of Ms own court by a mili
tary order when it did not happen to suit
him.
Macon as Seen by a "Wiscon
sin Man.
We have received a copy of the Evening
TFisconrin, of May 1, a daily paper pub
lished at Milwaukee, the capital of thnt
State, wMch contains a letter from Mr.
W. E. Cramer, one of the editors. He
seems to have been favorably impressed
with Macon, a3 the following extract
shows:
Macon, April 26.—On our way to Flor
ida, we concluded to remain over Sunday
in tiiis well-known city of Central Georgia.
Its population does not exceed 15,000,
and yet it empresses the stranger as a
noticeable city. Its streets are as broad
as those of Washington; its hotels are
good; its churches are most creditable;
and it has a better looking and mere
substantial railroad depot than can be
found in Wisconsin. It ha3 also one e!
the most celebrated female colleges in
the United States. It was organized pre
vious to Yassar. It has a tastefully Mi
ont park of one hundred acres, ana a
cemetery with monuments costing ?3iV
000.
Macon, like all Southern cities, has
had a hard time since the war, but she fa
now on the upward grade, and as an
evidence of this fact ono of its largest
business men and its most substantial
citizens informs ns that real estate fa
fifty per cent, better than it was two years
ago, and if the proposed water power en
the Ocmulgee should be consumnate&jt
will grow with the rapidity of a Norfa-
em city. The best of feeling exists be
tween the whites and the blacks, and
that will be another link in its future
prosperity. Macon, on account of tee
number of it3 literary institutions,
enjoyed the reputation of a cultivated
and refined society, and deservedly or,
for onr impression in this regard have
been confirmed by a most agreeable ex
perience.
