MACON, MAT 18,1875
It is understood that two of the Now
York theatres arc preparing burlesques
on the scandal trial, and with this ebjoct
the actors attend from time to time to
study the attitudes, manners, and into-
nations of the actors in the drama.
A gok factory in Upper Austria is
making 250,000 rifles for Germany- It
has delivered 180,000, and has received a
further order for 75,000- A Vienna firm
is reported to be executing a German or
der for 30,000,000 cartridges for delivery
in June. t
The Now York Ledger says: “Better
is the lowliest cottago exclusively to a
young married couple than the Lest
apartments in a palace with a mother-in-
law installed therein!” Nonsense. A
fellow ran away with his mother-in-law
the other day.
The Rev. Mr. Hammond complains
that the profanity and ribaldry of the
San Francisco Chronicle have kept out of
his pocket five thousand dollars which
Eastern Christians would have contrib
uted toward defraying the expenses of
his revival meetings.
As enthusiastic Pearl-Andrews Pan-
tarchist, lately in the habit of awaking
at all hours of the night under the im
pression that the spirits were tickling
him, has been able, after a little patient
investigation, to discover the pioneer
bed-bug of tho season.—BrooLlgn Argus.
Miss Moody, daughter of the Ameri
esn revivalist, who is now preaching in
London, not sharing her father’s views,
went to the play, and coming down late
to breakfast next morning was greeted
by him with, “Well, child of Satan f to
which sho calmly responded, "Good morn

The official bond of Parker, postmas
ter at New Orleans, is a family affair.
Beast Butler, his brother-in-law, assumes
$200,000; his nephew by marriage, Adel-
bert Ames, so-called Governor of Missis
sippi, $100,000; and the father-in-law of
Parker’s daughter, $100,000, making the
required $400,000.
Whiting from New Orleans to the New
York Herald, Mr. Nordhoff mentions, as
an illustration of what the Louisiana
tax-payers have endured, that the Legis
lature of 1869, which sat a month, cost
$900,100. Each member is said to
have pocketed $7,000 for the session, and
it is related that a single committee of
tbe House had 87 clerks, who were paid
$10 a day each.
The Baltimore Sun’s Washington cor
respondent says tho Southern Radical
politicians "are filled with gloomy fore
bodings on account of tbe change in the
Attorney General’s office, as they appre
hend that its management will no longer
bo conducted in their interest.” We
hardly think they have much cause for
their "forebodings.” Grant knew his
man, or ho would never have appointed
him.
It wouldn’t be so very surprising if
carpet-bag Spencer, tho Alabama Sena
tor, should turn up in the penitentiary,
after all.—Nashville Banner.
We can’t agree with you. And if he
did break into that institution, Grant
would be 6uro to pardon him and then,
byway of “vindication,” give him the
fattest office at his disposal. Grant stands
by his friends, and the more worthless
they are the closer ho sticketh to them.
On tho whole, Murat Halstead’s
scheme of a third-party movement, look
ing to nominate Charles Francis Adams
for President, and by getting him early
in the field to force the regular Republi
cans to take him just os tho Democrats
were forced to take Greeley, does not
strike us. That scheme cannot bo exe-
suted twice and on different political
sects. It failed badly in '72, and it will
fail worse in '76. Still there is much
true inwardness in it, and true inward
ness is a good thing.—Courier- Journal.
Reposts come from Washington of in
creasing coolness between President
Grant and Vico President Wilson. The
New York Tribune says: “This will occa
sion no surprise to those who have been
at all familiar with the interior of politics
at Washington for tho past two years. It
is well known that the Vice President baa
differed widely with tho President upon
many questions of policy sincothe begin
ning of the present term, and opposed a
a third term.” Some administration
journals in tho West are also speaking of
Vice President Wilson os a presidential
candidate.
iNTrfSNAjr Revenue Commissioner
Douglass, who has just been dismissed,
is a son of the great Stephen A. We
have no sympathy for him. A boy raised
ashe was, caught in such company, should
be cut off with a shilling in tbe Demo
cratic legacy.—Augusta Constitutionalist.
Conspicuously inexact. Commissioner
Bov glass is not the son of Stephen A. He
is from Pennsylvania, and don’t even
spell his namo like the “Little Giant.”
The Richmond Dispatch also blunders af
ter a similar fashion in stating that the
new Attorney General, Pierrepont, is the
"son-in-law of tho millionaire, Stcwart.’s
Stewart is childless—at least so far os the
public is informed.
The Now York Sun thinks there is a
beautiful significance in the fact that tho
new poem by Browning and tho new po
em by G. W. Childs, Esq., of tho Phila
delphia Ledger, should at the same mo
ment burst upon - on admiring world.
Mr. Browning’s poem is too long to give.
Mr. Childs’ we append:
Do not fasten the lid of tbe coffin yet.
Lot me hare a long look at the face of my pet.
Mease all quit the chamber and pull to the door.
And leave mo alone with my Maggieonco more.
Gone to meet her brothers.
The man who can write like this has a
feeling heart. And yet Mr. Childs is no
maudlin sentimentalist neither. He is a
practical man of action, and the last time
President Grant took too much at his
house, Childs himself put him into liis
carriage and prevented his making a pub
lic spectacle of himself.
Affidavit of a St Paul (Minnesota)
juryman: “I was threatened that
could not live in St Paul unless I agreed
in a verdict of manslaughter in tho
second degree, and that he would make
the place hotter for me than hell if I did
sot—by a juryman by the name of Don-
aelly. Also, there wa* whisky used in
that room by the quart Alfred Town*
The Sclilller Horror.
Later intelligence from this awful dis
aster confirm tho worst fears as to its
extent and heart-rending characteristics.
The number of lives lost is now Bet down
3xi over one hundred of whom were
women. The telegrams represent the
scene as terrible beyond description, and
the silence that followed the cries and
shrioVa 0 f the poor victims os they were
swept into the cruel sea, as "ghastly.”
The word hardly describes what tho
imagination conceives must have been
the character of the awful stillness that
settled upon the doomed ship as tho
greedy waves toro its victims from her
decks. The last voice heard “was that
of a little child in the cabin”—say the
telegrams. Nothing could add to tho
horror of the scene this little incident
<»aiig np. It is a volume in itself.
It is apparent that thi3 disaster is one
for whom no human being is in any de
gree responsible. It was inevitablo un
der tho circumstances, and must be
placed in that chapterof accidents against
the happening of which all human skill
and knowledge is, and must be powerless.
A Surfeit.
Wo really believe even tho anaconda
stomach of tho public must be sated with
the rivers of filth and garbage with
which it has been regaledfor long months
by the daily details of the Beecher trial.
Take for instance tho issue for the fifth
of May of tho New York Tribune. No less
than nineteen and a had/ of its broad col
umns are filled with the wretched, dro-
velling, irrelevant, uninteresting deposi
tions of witnesses, who are questioned,
cross-questioned, and then re-crossed,
without shedding a scintilla of fight upon
the question at issne.
All that is achieved is tho entertain'
ment of tho prurient listeners of every
sex and condition, who enjoy the skirm
ishing of counsel, and an occasional sharp
retort from a martyrized witness. These
people seem, from the pertinacity mani
fested in their attendance upon the
court, to have no other earthly occupation.
They hang upon every word uttered in
evidence, rolling like a sweet morsel un
der their tongues tho disreputable, ob
scene and suggestive passages, and are
never so happy as when some new phase
of iniquity is unearthed and brought to
fight.
They are the vultures of society prey
ing upon the pntrid carcases of decaying
reputations and blasted sanctity, as rep
resented in tbe persons of those who oc
cupy high places in the land. Who can
estimate tho moral contagion they will
desseminato broad cast through tho
country?
The nation is getting tired of this trial,
which may be likened to a play, in which
an odd combination and melange of
tragedy, low comedy, and the broadest
farces are produced. At first tbe novelty
created a sensation, but now unqualified
disgust and ennui is the prevailing senti
ment of tho community. Everybody be
lieves everybody connected with tho
great scandal to be no better than he or
she should be, and if all could be con
demned and share a common punishment
we believe the united nation would
throw up its hat and exclaim, "this is
even handed justice at last.”
But we are too much surfeited with
the theme and the dramatis persona: to
be able to dwell longer upon either.
Religions services on SaDbatli.
These all came off, according to the
published programme, and as the day
was bright and warm, though fanned by
delicious breezes, thousands wended their
way to the several houses of worship.
They had cause again, and doubtless
many yielded to tho impulse, for pros
trating themselves in gratitude before a
throne of grace, because the dreaded
tempest and whirlwinds which have ear
ned havoc and desolation for the third
or fourth time in one season to hundreds
of peaceful homes once more had left
them unharmed and unscathed.
In the morning. Rev. J. N. Waddell,
D. D., of Memphis, at tho Presbyterian
Chnrcb, presented the claims of the Pres
byterian Board of Domestic Missions, or
sustontation, for tbe Southern General
Assembly, and made an earnest appeal
for help in behalf of tho eighty-five bene
ficiaries of tho several seminaries and
colleges, and for the aid of tho weaker
and non-self-supporting churches.
He explained the origin of this branch
of Christian charity, its vital necessity,
and the judicious care and economy dis
played in the disbursement of tho sacred
fund placed at their disposal. Tbe Doc
tor’s statements were listened to with
much attention, and it is to be hoped that
the collection taken np was commensu
rate in amount with the magnitude and
importance of his mission.
In the afternoon the same gentleman
preached a regular discourse from ReveJJ
lations,third chapter and third verse:
‘Remember therefore how thou hast re
ceived and heard, and hold fast and re
pent. If therefore thou shalt not watch,
I will come on thee as a thief, and thou
shalt not know what hour I shall como
upon thee.”
Dr. Waddell handled his theme with
much simplicity and power, and his ut
terances were not only forcible and
graphic, but peculiarly comforting to tbe
believing portion of his hearers.
He makes no pretensions to oratory—
clearness, solidity, and fervent piety are
tho characteristics of his style. These
qualifications are appreciated by tbo
church at large, as was manifested a few
years since by hi3 election, at Baltimore,
to the responsible position of Moderator
of the Southern General Assembly.
At night. Rev. Arminios Wright began
a series of meetings in the Vinevillo
Church. Tho attendance, especially of
young people, was large, and the speaker
most happy in the selection of his text.
This was embraced in the three words,
“And he said to-morrow.” Such was the
response given by Pharaoh to Moses
when the plague of lico was in the land,
and the prophet said "let my peoplo go.”
Mr. Wright mode tho most of his start
ling subject, and painted tho dangers of
delay to the sinner in moving terms. The
effect was visible in the deep solemnity
which pervaded tho andiencc. At tho
close of the discourse many came forward
to bo prayed for at the altar.
The meetings will be continued every
night during the present week, and wo
trust may bo owned and blessed by the
Great Head of the church. The pastor
of Mulberry Street Methodist Church has
performed an incredible amount of pul
pit labor during the past right weeks,
and the efforts of few men nave bean
mora signally sanctified to the conversion
of immortal souls.
THE GEORGIA PRESS.
The Atlanta City Council has redneed
the appropriation for public schools this
year $5,000. This step is rendered neces
sary by an increase in the rate of city taxa
tion. There has been an increase of city
taxation in Macon since last year of ono-
fonrth per cent., but tbe appropriation
asked for public schools is just the same
as it was when tho city tax was only one
per cent., which fact the grand jury will
doubtless consider in making their recom
mendations on this subject.
Bx the provisions of the now charter of
Atlanta, tho Council is not only prohibit
ed from borrowing money, but mnst put
aside in cash $48,750 for the extinguish*
ment of the floating debt.
The Episcopal Convention, in session
last week at Atlanta, adopted on Friday,
tho News says, an amendment to their Com
stitution which will, hereafter, require all
delegates to tho Convention “to be com
municants instead of only being baptized
members of the church.” The vote stood:
Clergy—yeas 22; laity—yeas 16. Nays—
clergy 4; laity—nays 4. St. Paul’s, of
Macon, voted yea, and Christ Church nay.
Fbou the Bishop’s address and tho pa
rochial reports made at the last session
of tho Episcopal convention at Atlanta,
we gather tho following statistics for tho
past year: Baptisms 618, confirmations
438, communicants 4,198, communion
alms $3,778 96, diocesan alm3 $2,990, for
domestic missions $478 99, foreign mis
sions $148 37, and for other church ob
jects about $51,000. They state that
tho number of baptisms fall below tho
number reported for the last years; tho
confirmations are below last year.
The Augusta Constitutionalist thinks
“the most modest journals in America aro
those of Atlanta. The Herald, in hum
bleness of heart, say3 it "is accustomed to
win victories. It carries a talisman in its
bosom and bsars a charmed fife. In fact,
the Herald is all right. Whenever the
Herald shall commit a serious blunder
the peoplo will mourn, but for a long
time we have heard nothing from the
people a3 to our course but loud and
cheery ‘Amens.’ ” The News, not to bo
outdone in poorness of spirit, ventures to
declare that it "is safe to assert that the
alarm created throughout tho North by
the dermined hostile tone of such pa
pers as tho News, and the impression it
created, that the limit of forbearance to
Radical oppression bad been reached, did
more toward overthrowing the Radicals
in the elections two months later than all
tho protestations of loyalty and poems of
brotherhood sung by tho mere political
leaders.”
The Chronicle and Sentinel says Col.
R. J. Wilson, of Augusta, had a narrow
escape from death lastjWednesday. "Ho
and Mr. J. B. L. Dortic went out to the
Schetzenplatz for tho purpose of shoot
ing at a target with one of the regula
tion Remington rifles used by tbe volun
teer military companies. Mr. Dortic
fired first at tbe target, which was sit
uated one hundred yards from tho stand.
Colonel Wilson then went down to tho
target, to see where the ball struck. He
was standing in front of it, with his hand
on tho cloth and his head slightly to ono
side, when Mr. Dortic, who thought that
he hod moved out of tho way, and that
his hand was the bull’s eye, fired again.
Tho ball passed immediately between
Colonel Wilson’s band and head, missing
the latter by about only half an inch. So
close did the missile pass Colonel Wil
son’s ear that he at first thought that it
had been struck. Both gentlemen were
satisfied with the target practice for the
day, and came back to the city immedi
ately.”
A lettee for Seymour, Tinsley & Co.,
Macon, is held for postage in the Savan
nah office.
The Savannah Fire Department has
passed tho following resolution by a vote
of nine to five:
Resolved, That this department notify
tho City Council of Savannah that at tho
expiration of thirty days this department
will disband.
Tho Advertiser says the Council will
probably organize a paid department.
Tire samo paper has the following:
Tho curs of Macon, found running
without a sign that their owners hod
called at tho captain's office and register
ed them for tho season, aro being arrest
ed and taken to the pound, where they
can be bad dog-oned cheap—that is, for
the price of a badge. If they are not
redeemed, the best and fattest will be
selected for sausages, and the rest made
crow’s meat of.

tion in Savannah ?
The Savannah News has these items:
A Neobo Obtains a Veedict Against
the City.—Tho suit of Bristow Williams,
negro, owner of a sail boat, which was
sunk in tho river last year by the
steamer O. M. Pettit, owned by tho city
of Savannah, was decided yesterday
against tho defendants, a verdict for tho
plaintiff for $877 being rendered. Who
says now that a negro, even from Caroli
na, cannot get justice before a white
Georgia jury against a municipality
whose tax-payers aro nearly exclusively
white?
The Late Dabien Riot.—Advices
from Darien state that twelve of tho ne
groes engaged in the late attempt to res
cue Tunis G. Campbell have been appre
hended and lodged in jail, and that there
is sufficient evidence to implicate Camp
bell os the instigator of the trouble.
Campbell appeared to have plenty of
money furnished by our Northern breth
ren and tho McIntosh county negroes.
It is rumored in Darien that two negro
men and ono woman (who was the noisi
est of the crowd) were killed, but like the
Indians their bodies were carried off by
their friends. It is to he hoped that this
vicious negro Campbell will be put some
place where he will be unable to get hi3
fellows in trouble.
The hardest thing said about Grant
that we have seen is a Washington letter
to the Atlanta Herald, wherein it is stated
that Jack Brown is the "coming man”
for revenuo collector of the Atlanta dis
trict, and that ho "Is in high favor with
Grant and Bristow.”
We find the following appeal in the
Columbus Enquirer-Sun, of Saturday:
At a meeting of citizens in Wbitosville,
Harris county, Georgia, May 6, 1875, we
were appointed a committee to appeal to
the public in behalf of our suffering
neighbors. The circumstances are these:
On May 1st, tho third terrible cyclone
swept over this part of our county, de
stroying stock, houses, and a few human
lives. Not less than twenty families,
white and colored, were loft houseless.
Supplies, wearing apparel. Household and
kitchen furniture are gone. Whole fam
ilies are prostrated, in tbo homes of
friends, suffering personal injuries, while
others will have to disband, and go whith
er they can inquest of bread, unless their
cases touch a sympathetic, publio heart.
Impressed with the urgency of these
facts, we unhesitatingly call upon the
lovers of God and humanity to come to
our relief. Shall the wounded, tho des
titute, the widow and orphan plead in
vain? Not under these circumstances.

Cotton receipts at Columbus up to last

less; river, 10,912—2,919more; wagons,
24,944—1,077 more; North and South

The Griffin News “ favors independent
candidates for all offices in Georgia.”
Does the News wish to disband the Demo*
cratie party and turn the State over to the
Radicals? JThat would be the inevitable
result of such a policy.. We are certain
the Newt speaks only for itsolf in this
matter. The people of Georgia don’t
want Bullock and his gang back again.
They can’t afford it.
The Jasper county Banner says on last
"Saturday afternoon as two gentlemen,
Messrs. Preston and Oxford, were coming
into town their horse became frightened
from some unaccountable means, as they
were crossing tbe street at "White’s corn
er, and made a terrible run, throwing
both gentlemen out, and, iti3 feared, se'
riously injuring Mr. Preston, who fell ont
backwards, striking his head against a
largo rock and, it is feared, fracturing
the sknll. Mr. Preston is a brother of
our esteemed fellow-citizen Col. J. W.
Preston, Solicitor General of this circuit.
Tho other gentleman was only slightly
hurt. Buggy and harness were tom to
pieces.”
The Sumter Republican says thirty-fire
new members have been added to the
Baptist Church, and thirty-two to the
Methodist Church, in that place, during
tho past three weeks.
We learn from tho Camilla Enterprise
that on Monday of last week, while Mor
gan Kelley, negro, was putting the pump
band on the wheel at Hand’s steam mill,
a few miles below Camilla, his hand was
caught between the band and wheel, and
his arm instantly torn off from his shoul
der, and he was thrown into the well at
tho same time. Kelley’s body was much
bruised, and bis injuries have proved fa
tal.
A bboken stickand a bloody head were
the results last Friday of the following
little pleasantries in the Gainesville
Southron, and Democrat, respectively. W.
F. Findley is the editor of the Southron,
and Hale of the Advertiser:
Brother Hale, in speaking of our re
sumption, calls us his old journalietid as
sociate. He is mistaken m the man; it
was Wm. R. Davis, the notorious dead
beat, who started the Advertiser, under
its Radical auspices, and not us.—South
ron.
We acknowledge the mistake, and take
it all back. Wm. R. Davis was our "old
journalistic associate," and he was
“notorious dead-beat,” and all that; but,
bad as he was, he could not be purchased
for $312 per week to lay aside parental
affection and oppose his own father politi
cally.—Democrat.
After the “shindy” Hale retracted, so
we suppose he owns tho bloody head.
The Louisiana “Compromise.”
Elsewhere, Congressman Wheeler, one
of the committee to compose the differ
ences in Louisiana last winter makes a
strong defence of the action of the Demo
cratic members of the Legislature in
turning out certain Radicals wbo had
usurped seats in that body. His argu
ment seems conclusive as to tho right of
tho Democrats to do this without the
slightest violation of tho terms of the
compromise, and now Mr. Wheeler may
get ready for a broadside from his trooly
loyl brethren. Tb^y will be sure to
charge that he has "gone over to the
Democrats.”
Delano’s Case.
Gen. H. Y. Boynton gives to the Cin
cinnati Gasette an account of the various
facts in tbe case of Secretory Delano, of
which some of tho more essential are
stated as follows:
“The President had received state
meats from various quarters, and at vari
ous times, to the effect that John Delano
was engaged in fraudulent transactions
in connection with Interior Department
matters. One prominent United States
Senator had charged specifically, and in
the presence of tho Secretary, that his
son was engaged with a New York firm
in putting bounty land warrants through
improperly, and speculating with them
Another Senator had charged corruption,
not only on tho son, in connection with
land transactions in California, bat de
clared his belief that the Secretary could
not have been ignorant of the matter.
Tho President was loth to believe these
statements without tbe most convincing
proof. At this juncture certain original
letters and papers were placed in the
President’s hands proving a corrupt trans
action of John Delano in a land matter,
the papers bring of such a character, in
tho opinion of tho President, a3 to involve
tbe Secretary. Nothing more definite
can be ascertained in regard to these pa
pers, except that they concern, as a third
party, the Surveyor General of Wyom
ing, now in this city attempting to ex
plain them.”
The Gazette states editorially that, but
for the publication in the New York Tri
bune of some of the facts in tho case. Mr.
Delano’s retirement would have been
promptly arranged, bat that tho Tribune
met the presidential party on the route
back from Concord and Lexington, and
the effect wa3 to delay action in order to
save Mr. Delano the mortification of a
forced resignation under newspaper fire.
Senatob Anthony, of Rhode Island,
was the last one of the Southern Con
gressional excursion party to be cornered
by a reporter. He thought more of Geor
gia than any other State be visited;
feared that Now Orleans had suffered
more by the war than any other place of
the South; believed the jetty scheme was
unlikely to succeed; and, as to Florida,
quoted the opinion of Democratic Sena
tor Dennis, of Maryland, who would not
give his farm on the Chesapeake for-the
whole State of Florida. Of New Orleans
Senator Anthony said: “By the suicidal
folly of the war. she cut herself off from
tho West, of which sho had been the
mart, and the railroads built through tho
Northern States from East to West havo
flanked her, so that we can bring cotton
from Memphis to Providence by rail
cheaper than we can carry it from Mem
phis by water via New Orleans.”
Twd more cases have recently been de
cided involving tbe liability of national
banks for tbo valuo of bonda deposited
for safe keeping without reward, and
stolen—ono by the Supreme Court of
Vermont, (Wiley vs. the first National
Bank of Brattleboro,) and tho other by
the Court of Appeals of New York (the
First National Bank of Lyons V3. tho
Ocean National Bank.) These were both
suits to recover the value of tho plain
tiffs’ securities, which had been deposited
in tho defendants’ banks. In both, long
and elaborate opinions were delivered
and judgments rendered for the defend
ants. In the Vermont case it was held
that the bank had no power, nnder the
national banking act, to make a contract
for tho safe keeping of valuables, and in
the New York case (approving the Ver
mont decision) the court held that such
a contract was not within the scope of
the authority of the bank officials.
EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
NOTES ON THE WAT.
Atlanta, on the 6 th, had turned ont to
picnicking and junketing. Also was
much excited over the triumph of Ben
Hill. I saw Ben on the streets and he
too was much excited by the exaltation
of triumph. Yea, he did rejoice as the
strong man to ran a race.
All the way np from Macon to East
Tennessee there are manifest signs of re
cuperation and advancement, and they
increase os wo proceed and are chiefly in
dicated in bettered fences and habita
tions. Bnt the Beason is very backward.
At about the Tennessee line forest leaves
begin to be merely adolescent—hardly
half grown. Thirty or forty miles further
on tho woods are scarcely beyond the
mere had, and wear the blniBh-grey color
of tbe early spring putting forth.
Small grain crops, particularly in the
Sweet Water valley, are looking very
fine. The best are two feet high. Tho
wheat don’t look to me hurt a cent’s
worth by tho last freeze. Spring oats
ore jnst peeping above tho surface. As
for corn, I have only seen one small patch
np. The valley looks beautiful; but bears
tho marks of heavy rain3 and severe
washing. The plowed laud is also a little
cloddy, showing that farm work has been
urged too closely on the heels of wet
weather.
By the time we reached Jonesboro’
nothing more than mere buds were to be
seenon the white oaks, which are the main
forest growth. The blossoms still clung to
to tho apple trees, and dog-wood was in all
its glory. Above Knoxville the wheat ap
pears to be injured. At any rate, it was
heavily bitten by the frost.
The fine, pure atmosphere, picturesque
scenery and comfortable provision for in
wardness on this route, will always make
tho Kennesaw a favorable route with the
publio. The track from Atlanta to this
point is generally in fine condition. The
State road, and that from Dalton to
Knoxville, particularly, show a great deal
of care and labor, and tho rolling-stock is
first-class. In Atlanta a gorgeous Pullman
palace sleeping car can be had, which
takes the passenger without change to
Lynchburg, and on tho 23d instant a new
and faster schedule of travel will go into
effect. The Kennesaw route, in brief, is
going to make a strong fight for a lion’s
share of travel this summer, and will get
it.
Tho towns, villages and country along
tho line of tho Georgia, East Tennessee,
and Virginia road show manifest signs
of enterprise and improvement, and tho
abundant area of small gram in the
fields make them green as an emerald—
frequently producing a lively and effect
ive contrast with the chocolate and bright
red of the freshly plowed earth; with
grey forest and blue mountain as a back
ground.

FROM ATLANTA.
Ben Hill’s Triumph, Etc.
Atlanta Ga, May 7,1875.
Your average politician merely moves
his quid to the other side of his mouth,
and simply remarks that there was no
use talking, Hill was sure to get it.
Then he impudently fastens his thumb
in your button hole, and as he draws you
aside—to the ragged edge of tho side
walk—he pour3 into your ears an alarm
ing expose of more diabolical trickery,
fraud and corruption than Horatio ever
dreamed of in his philosophy. And, egad,
you swallow every word just the same as
if it had been sent down your throat
with a syringe, and not by the gentler
process of tho knowing and known politi
cian.
But it is tho uninitiated citizen, he who
only a summer or so ago cast his maiden
vote, who feols tho patriotic fire bounding
through every vein, and feels the tingling
in the roots of his hair, as it woos from
him a burst of eloquence, impassioned by
a sudden paroxism of citizen-like love for
his native State. His brain discards the
geometrical problems of fifteen ball pool
and the decimal winnings from a euchre
deck, and is now wholly absorbed with
tho ono grand idea of Ben Hill's glorious
election.
Thus it was that on "Wednesday night
so many youthful faces crowded around
the Congressman elect from the Ninth,
as he sat the observed of all observers in
the narrow sanctum of the Herald office,
quietly blowing puffs of bluo satisfied
smoke from his regalia. To be sore the
average politician was there. The circle
would not have been complete and the
editorial atmosphere entirely too fresh
had your old and knowing politician kept
away.
"Was ho proud of the election ? No, not
he. It was too dead a thing, you know,
There wasn’t enough struggle, not
enough spice in tho pudding to bo proud
of it. He took it only as a matter of
course, and left the field for pride and
glory to tho young man. As for him,
give him a regular old Bell-Everett tussle
or a Grant-Seymour skirmish. Then
you struck bis clement. But when you
tackle a one-sided tilt like Ben Hill’s
little fight, yon furnish him a stink at
which he can turn up his nose with tho
coolest indifference and icynes3.
You didn’t doubt Ben’s election, did
you? Fastened as you were down there
where the breeze circles only about your
heads and never leaves you to run up to
the mountains, enlist a fresher impetus
and sweeter fragrance, and back again
with its health-giving burden, you are lost
to all the rumors that float on the wicked
facts that swim. But we, we whoso at
mosphere is capricious and sticky, first
filling our eyes with sand really and figu
ratively, then darting, with a playful
wind among the mountainous counties of
the Ninth, felt dubious and uncertain.
There was Price, you know—tho chronic
independent—and Estes, the over-san-
;uine loiterer over uncertain grounds—
le who led where others dared to follow—
and lastly, Bro. Findley. Could we feel
easy and nice when wo knew that Price
and Estes would claim a share of the
Democratic vote! True, Findloy stepped
down and ont and left his party on a high
old fence to get down as best they could,
bnt it strengthened Ben’s chances only a
little. Various, naughty and schemy
were the dark ways and vain tricks to
squelch out tho hero of Notes on the
Situation ; cloudy, smoky and thick were
tho chances, but Hill, acting as all candi
dates should act, threw off the shackles
of the nominating convention, went be
fore the people, spoke to them 03 he
alone can speak, and behold tho result!
The peoplo lay aside their plows, hang
up the fiddle and the bow, and give vent
to a real, old-fashiond Bbout of joy.
Georgia is secure 1
My candle, modest dip, blusbingly
hides its blondo head as if wanting to go
ont for tho night, and I’ll now lay aside
my Ben Hill pencil. In my next I’ll
treat of something more congenial to my
tastes than politics. B. "\Y. 8.

_ The Richmond (Va.) Dispatch pub
lishes extracts from the letters of Hon.
Beresford Hope to Gen. Bradley T.
Johnson in reference to tho statue of
Stonewall Jackson. Mr. Hope promises
in a short time to forward photographs of
the statue, the work itself to follow after
the close of the Royal Academical Exhi
bition in August. He states in the mean
time that the statue is sere a feet three
inches in height* or with plinth seven
feet nine inches. Mr. Hope sends two
sketches as patterns for a pedestal suita
ble for tbe statue, giving the proper di
mensions. These patterns are simple
and elegant, representing different de
signs for a pedestal nine feet high, eight
feet six inches in diameter at the base
and two feet five inches at the top. The
pedestal will be constructed of Richmond
granite.

There aro over 350 delegates present,
and they elected Dr. Jame3 P. Boyce
President by a vote of 219 to 130, Dr. P.
H.Mell being tho only other candidate—
three scattering vote3 bring cast.
Dr. Richard Fuller then announced
that Dr. E. Lathrop was present as a
messenger from the American Baptist
Homo Mission Society of New Yoik, to
whom he requested the convention would
givo a hearing. Dr. Lathrop was invited
to tho stage, and announced the object of
his mission. Ho said: “I have been ap
pointed, in connection with several other
brethren (none of whom, I am sorry to
say, except myself, is present here to-day),
to convey to you the Christian salutation
and the love of tho Home Mission SO'
ciety. Our mission to you is very sim
pie, although in some of its aspects it is
important. We are here merely to ex
press our fraternal regards and our sym- wm
pathy in tho work in which you are en
gaged, in all its essential features. Your
work and our work aro alike. While you
in your way aro seeking to accomplish the
interest of Christ’s kingdom here, wc aro
in our way aiming at the same end, and
whilo we may do our work differently, yet
wo may be, we ought to be, wo will bo in
heart and purpose one, members of the
same family, believers in tho samo Re
deemer, and expectants of the same bliss
ful immortality. I can, however, better
express to you the nature of my mission
by reading the official paper which I hold
in my hand.
Ho then read a communication from tho
Homo Mission Board to the Convention,
which asserted that, in responso to a
resolution offered by Dr. Faller himself,
at the last meeting of the Home Mission
Society, eight “messengers” were ap
pointed to represent tho Home Mission
Society in our Convention, and thus be
gin a system of annual interchange of
Christian salutation by fraternal corres
pondence. Said Dr. Lathrop:
What Dr. Shoards said to us we say to
you. That is our mission. It 13 for you
to respond heartily, in Christian love, to
these sentiments, and, knowing that you
time is limited, I will decline makin
any further remarks at this time.
A hearty welcome wa3 extended to Dr.
Lathrop by the chair, and he was invited
to a seat in the convention by -a vote of
tho body.
Dr. S. S. Cutting, president of the
Baptist Educational Commission was
present, as was, also. Dr. Wayland, of
Philadelphia, and they were cordially in
vited to participate in tho deliberations
of the convention. These expressions of
Christian courtesy and brotherly kind
ness must not bo confounded in any way
with a union of organizations, or co-oper
ation in work os organized bodies; it was
nothing more than an expression of fra
ternal feeling. Tho reports of our Home
Mission and Foreign Mission Board were
then read, and for the benefit of your
Baptist readers, I give a brief abstract
of them.;
hone missions.
The report alludges to the death of
David R. Lide, one of tho board of man
agers, who lost his life by a railroad ac
cident iu Alabama, and also refers to tho
death of a native C.hickasaw preacher,
Rev. Andrew Porter, in the service of the
board. The board is aiding in tho edu
cation of two young colored ministers,
ono at tho “Leland University,” New Or
leans, Louisiana, and the other at tho
“Augusta Institute,” Augusta, Georgia.
It has employed 51 missionaries and
agents, who have preached about 5,000
sermons, traveled about 78.000 miles,
baptized 436 persons, aiding in meetings
at which 609 were baptized, organized
150 Sunday-schools, in which there are
about 2,500 scholars, organized 20
churches, built 13 meeting houses, sup
plied 204 stations, and distributed 26,000
looks.
SUHMAr.Y OF THIRTY YEARS* LAB OB.
Tho amount of work done during thir
ty years by the board, and the amount
of rccoipts during this period, is os fol
lows: Years occupied, 30; number of
commissions issued, 1,755; weeks labor
performed, 22,402; number of sermons
and addresses, 189,301; number of reli
gions visits to families, 223,015; prayer
and other meetings attended, 50,127;
number of miles traveled in performance
of labor, 1,746,726; number of baptisms
administered, 27,402; number of bap
tisms administered by others in connec
tion with tho labor of the missionaries,
7,577 ; total number of baptisms, 34,979.
Number of Sunday schools organized,
1,940; number of churches and stations
supplied, 4,650; number pages of tracts
distributed, 213,33; number of churches
organized, SOSO; number meeting houses
built, 167; amount of receipts, $925,-
255.71.
The report states in regard to the re
duction of liabilities and current expenses
in the last year: The liabilities of the
hoard, including the deficit of $943.22 on
the Home and Foreign Journal due foreign
mission board to June 1,1874, amounted
to the sum of $20,727.94. To this amount
have been added the current expenses of
the board for the year ending April 20,
1875. The current expenses for the year
have keen met, and the amount of liabil
ities reduced to the sum of $13,274.85.
With reference to tho Sunday-school
paper, “Kind Words,” it is stated that
since June 1, 1874, it has been printed
without the liability of expense to tbe
convention, though its receipts have fall
en short of the cost of publication. Still
the publishers aro willing to continue the
publication of the paper under the same
contract, with the approval of the con
vention. Tho report says: “The style
and character of the paper have been
fully sustained, and the publishers have
performed their engagement with the
board to its entire satisfaction, and the
circulation has been constantly increas
ing.”
The expenses oE the Foreign Mission
Journal have exceeded its receipts by
$1,200. There is reason to hope that a
suitable man may be Bent to Fung Chow
to relieve Professor T. P. Crawford,
whose health demands relaxation.
Mrs. N. M. Llewellyn, of Texas, has
been appointed to China, and only awaits
a favorable opportunity to take her de
parture. Brother W. J. David and
Brother W. W. Colley, referred to in our
last report, have been sent as missionaries
to Africa.
The Rome Chapel fond, $21,794 88,
has been invested in United State* bonds.
ITALIAN MISSIONS.
A very encouraging account is given
of tho different Italian mission state
ments, under the prudent and sagacious
management of Eev. G. B. Taylor, at
Rome, who enjoys the unqualified confi
dence and commendation of both native
and foreign laborers for Christ.
BXCEIFTS.
The receipts for the past year have
been $33,218 35, and the expenses $32,■
GG8 35, leaving $550 on hand, and $21,
794 88 invested in United States securi
ties.
Dr. Tapper also read the report of Ed-
Wortham, Treasurer of the foreign
mission board, showing that there was a
balance In his hands lost year of $20,544.
34 for Rome Chapel, on which he has
received $1,250 54 as interest; leaving
in his hands for this object $21,794 88.
That the balance for missions from last
year was $5113, and receipts to April 21,
$33,167 21, and $32,617 21 expended,
leaving a baUnce in hand of $550.
Thursday Night—Dr. Ford not arriving,
the introductory sermon was preached at
night, by Dr. T. H. Pritchard, of Raleigh,
North Carolina.
Friday Morning—The convention met,
but it was too early in the session for
much regular business, so that little has
been done to-day. A resolution looking
to an exchange of annual for biennial ses
sions was tabled. A committee of three
were appointed to nominate ten delegates,
five ministers and five laymen, to repre
sent the convention as "messengers,” in
tho session of the Home Mission Society
of tho North, which take3 place at Phila
delphia on the 25th.
At eleven o’clock a resolution was con
sidered requesting all Southern Baptist
church members and churches to favor
and promote the project and plan of tbe
centennial movement of the Baptist Ed
ucational Commission of New York, and
Dr. S. S. Cutting, President of the commit
tee was invited to address the convention
in explanation of tho plans and projects
of tho commission. He made an inter
esting and able address, and an elsquent
one, in the sense that it manifested the
presence of so much earnestness, infor
mation and intellect, that the attention
of all wa3 enchained. Dr. J. L. M. Cur
ry, of Virginia, then took the floor and
seconded the adoption of the resolution,
supporting, by an address so able and
eloquent, that his auditors wept, cheered
or applauded, according to the phase of
his oratory. The President reproved
them in vain, and it was not until Dr.
Curry threatened to take M3 seat unless
they abstained did they cease from ap
plauding.
The address was a thoroughly Baptist
speech, relating to what the Baptists had
done for soul-liberty, religious toleration
and education, and it wound up by a most
powerful plea for a bettor and most lib
eral support of education, which is the
grand object of tMs centennial educa
tional movement.
Dr. "Winkler followed Dr. Carry in a
polished and scholarly address ; and Dr.
Broadus followed Dr. Winkler—the four
addresses making a feast of reason and
flow of soul rarely enjoyed at our conven
tions. Lofty ns Dr. Curry’s eloquence is,
this effort is said to havo surpassed all
previous efforts.
MINOR MATTERS.
As a matter of interest it may bo stated
that $3,800, represented by delegates in
tho Convention, wa3 donated to the ob
jects cf our Foreign Mission Board by
ono of its own churches in China, $3,000
of that being given by Dr. Yates, a mis
sionary of the Convention, who appropri
ated it to the erection of a church and
parsonage at Shangha ein China.
Another item is the official announce
ment of a legacy of $5,000 left to tho
two Boards of the Convention by the late
generous Joshua Levering, of Baltimore.

Edwin Wortham, has resigned on ao-
count of feeble health, after fifteen years' “ “e property u , r . v. 8lww

this work in Africa, in nowise daunted by
the past of trouble, and in remembrance

CHINA MISSIONS.
_ Canton.—Twenty-five have been bap- „
tized into tho Canton church • total mem* Dl
bership, 120. Six have been baptized into
the Shin Hing church; total member
ship, 26. The schools are prosperous.
Through the liberality of the Baltimore
brethren,"$4,610 have been remitted to
China for the proposed missionary resi
dence.
Shanghae.—Bro. Yates still in feeble
health. At an expense to Mmself of
$3,000 he has built a beautiful and sub
stantial chapel, and a parsonage for the
native pastor. Russell & Co., bankers at
Shanghae, have presented five hundred
pounds sterling to,put a belfry on the
chapel. The present condition of the
work there is satisfactory.
Chef00.—Congregations are good and
people are receiving the ideas of the gos-
pel. J. B. Hartwell has reluctantly ap
plied for permission to return home, on
account of the health of his wife, and
consent had been given. To pay his ex
penses he had been authorized to draw
on the hoard for 754 pounds sterling, for
which provision has yet to be made.
Fung Chow.—The gospel has been
preached to two hundred and fifty differ
ent villages, and "public sentiment is
more favorable than at any previous pe
riod.. Number of church members, 57 ;
baptized, 7. Good schools.

Tho St. Louis Times hits the so-called
“independent voters” who are talking
about a third party, this hard lick:
Bah! they ore cowards, all of them,

think and believe that the Democratic
party is not good enough for the needs of
the hour, and that it will have to be pu
rified and proscribed a while longer be
fore it is intrusted with absolute power.
They mistake selfishness and obstinacy
for honest convictions of duty, and they
are fiddling and gormandizing while
Rome is ou fire from Feasant’s bnt to

erty; Scnurzism is an Utopian theory
distilled from, the beer they drink at
