London. April 17.—Mr. P. Lorillard’s
American horse Parole, before yesterday,
when he won tho race for the Newmarket
handicap at the Market Craven meeting-,
was quoted at forty to one for the city
and suburban handicap which is to be
ran on the 22ad ins!, at the Epsom spring
meeting. He is now a favorite for that
race at eight to one.
His win yesterday means five pounds
penalty, which will make his weight for
the city and suburban handicap 119
pounds, his pnblish-d weight for that
£*oe being 112 pounds. Yesterday he
carried 116 pounds and gave Isonomy,
«bo carried 12-1 pounds, more than a
fire pound beating. The field of half a
dozen competitors was the smallest since
Aeing was established in 1845.
* r Thia Wl ' 8 composed of tho threo ani
mals mentioned yesterday, Parole, Ison
omy, Lina, and Rylstone, Dean and
Drumhead. The bettiag on these was
four to one against Rylstone; six to one
against “tho Dean” and seven to one
against Drumhead. Lina made the rnn-
nia" with a clear advantage of Drum
head, the Dean and Parole, Rylstone and
Isonomy lying off. They ran in this or
der to “tarn off the lands,” where Eyl-
Stone dropped away into the extreme
rear, the ethers retaining their respect
ive Disitions for only a abort distance
further, when Parole drew clear away
followed by Isonomy.
From this point iheraoe was over,
Parole winning with great ease by a
length and a half. The rest finished
in a cluster a hundred yards off headed
bvLina. Parole’s time was three min
utes and one second.
St. Louis, Mo., April 17.—A Kansas
City dispatch eays e largo number of col
ored Southern refugees have been lauded
by steamboats at Wyandotte in an en
tirely destitute condition during the past
few days and are occupying the churches
and public halls of that place. Many
aro sick from exposure and are dying.
Mayor Shelley, of Kansas City, telegraph
ed the Secretary of War for an order for
the issue of rations from Fort Leaven
worth to feed them, and Secretary M>
Crary replied ho had no authority to do
so—that Congress was in session and
application should be made to that body.
A committee has been appointed at Wy
andotte to look after tho sufferers. The
committee have issued a call to the citi-
z?ns of the United States for relief, stat
ing that seventeen hundred entirely des
titute colored refugees are already in
Wyandotte and thousands more in the
same condition aro on the way, and ask
for immediate aid. Contributions are to
be sent to Northrop & Sons, hankers,
treamrers of the executive committee.
WaeniNoroN, April 17.—In the House,
immediately after the reading of the
Journal, a question came up from yester
day morning on the bill reported from the
Committee on .Coinage, Weights and
MeaBnres, to provide for tho exchange of
subsidiary silver ooins for legal tender
money and to make such coins legal ten
der in ill snms not exoeeding ten dollars.
The question was on a motion made by
Buckner, of Missouri, chairman of tbe
Committee on Banking and Ourrenoy, to
refer tbe bill to that committee. That
motion was opposed by Mr. S epbens, of
Georgia, chairman of the Coinage Com
mittee, who argued that tbe bill came
from the appropriate committee, aud
was now before tbe House, was short,
simple and ought to be acted on by the
House to-day.
The motion to refer was sustained by
Buckner, who argued that, if tbe coinage
committee bad jurisdiction of the ques
tion involved in the bill, then it bad ju
risdiction of tbe whole system of tbe cur-
renoy of the country ; whereas tbe func
tions of that ommutae were properly
confined to tooboira! points of coinage,
devices, dies, e:c.
The tame points were enforced by
Chittenden, of New York, who had pre
sented the petition on whioh the bill was
reported, but tbe bill was before the
House, and should be passed on its mer
its alone.
The opposite view was held by Claflin,
of Massachusetts, who argued that the
jurisdiction of the Banking committee
was confined to matters connected with
the national banks. The bill therefore,
had come from an appropriate committee
and should be passed.
Price, of Iowa, declared himself in fa
vor of abolishing the Banking and Cur
rency committee, if it had not control of
the eubjeot of the bill.
The discussion is still going on.
The House has been brougjjt by the
previous question to a vote on the motion
to refer the silver bill to the Banking
committee, and that motion has been re
jected by 83 to 97, and the bill is now be
fore the House for action.
In the Senate, on the expiration of the
morning hour, the army appropriation
bill was taken np, Senator Morgan, ot
Alabama, being entitled to the floor. Mr.
Morgan said that hereafter he intended
to speak in vindication of the attiende of
the Southern members of Congress which
had been the object ot much unjust as
persion.
Tbe South was not responsible for tbe
existence of the question now agitating
tbe public. He bad considered it best
at present to yieli to his friend from In
diana (Voorheef).
Mr. Vooihees cilled attention to what
ho feared was not generally realized,
namely, that Federal inteifcrence ex
tended not oaly to Congressional, but to
all State and local elections. American
Citizens, by thus having overseers pnt
over them, were reduced to the condition
of slaves.
Albany, April 17.—la the Assembly
Mr. Fish offered a concurrent resolution
that a committee be appointed to tender
the hospitalities of tho State to Grant on

under the rnlee.
Bsusssns, April 17 —An explosion of
fire dump in tbe Agrippe coal pit, near
Mon?, Belgium, caused the wood work
of the shaft to catch fire and fall in.
There were 240 men in the mine, and it
is feared many perished.
CnasiBEB-ctrao, Pa., April 17.—Heze-
kiah Shaffer, who murdered hie wife in
February, 1878, was hanged to-day.
Wa-msaTOJt, April 17.—Israel W.
Roberta has been confirmed as Postmas
ter at Montgomery, Ala.
Yankton, April 17.—Ex-Indian Agent
Livingstone, of Crow Creek Agency, has
been acquitted of charges ot defrauding
tbe government.
Washington, April 17.—In the Senate
Voorhees detailed tbe Bystem of election
laws, and pointed, out tbe provisions
therein dangerous to a free ballot; usurp
ers always take advantage of snch bad
laws. Already onr people had seen them
used to defeat the popular will. Ceasar
sent emissaries into the provinces to ex
cite disturbances as an excuse to nse the
army to keep the peace. The same thing
might be done, and had been done, by
the President of tho United States.
Teller followed and said the Democrats
bad until now sustained the veto power
of the President. The proper place to
test the validity ot the law was in tbe
courts. The Democratic cry for & free
ballot is inconsistent, as all election frauds
for the last thirty years have been to the
advantage of the Democratic party. He
concluded by citing the evidence heard
by the Teller committee, as proof of the
correctness and justice of his argument.
The Senate Committee on. Privileges
and Elections, to-day, continued their
hearing of the argument in tbe Spcfford-
X*. llogg case. Judge Spofford will be
beard in his own behalf to-morrow.
Senators Davis, of Illinois, Bayard
r.id Garland, sub committee, appo n td
by the Judiciary Committee to report
upon the nomination of R. Stockett Mat-
thewf, as United States District Judge
for Marjlmd, held a session to-day and
examined the papers filed in the case,
but did cot decide upon the character ot
their report.
Collector Thomas, United States Gom-
miisioner Brooks and Sam Shoemaker,
ot Adams Express Company, are here to
day advocating favorable action npon the
nominations.
In the House, at the close of the morn
ing hour, the subsidiary silver bill went
over till to-morrow. An effort was mad?
by Atkins, of Tennessee, to have the de
bite on tbe Legislative bill closed n> x
Saturday. This provoked a controversy
between Atkina and Conger. The Utter
interpreted a remark of Atkins’ Into an
apology to him. Atkins informed him,
however, that he was inoapable of apolo
giaing to that gentleman. To that Con.
ger said he was equally glad that tbe gen
tleman withdrew his apology. Atkins
told him that be bad not withdrawn any
apology. Conger said he was equally
glad that the gentleman showed some lit
tie feeling. Atkins thought it a pity that
Conger did not show the same, bat he
had none.
It was agreed to extend tbe debate un
til Friday of next week.
The House then went into Committee
of the Whole on the legislative bill.
Mr. Kelley made a speech against the
policy of attempting to coerce the Presi
dent into signing the appropriation bills.
He warned the Democratic party that if
it attempts to override the veto in any
other than a constitutional way, it will
be trampled under tba feet of an indig.
nant people. He said he would vote for
the repeal of the test oath for jurors, if
before the House as a separate measure.
At the expiration of the hoar, Kelley’s
time was, on motion of Carlisle, of Ken
tucky, extended fifteen minutes. His
speech was listened to with marked at
tention.
Carlisle followed. In hia remarks he
said; “Disclaiming any intention to
make an appeal to the passions, disclaim
ing any intention to excite partisan feel
ing or to distract the judgment of the
people’s representatives on thf- v -ry ex
citing question, I say to the gentlemen
on the other aide, not in any anirit of ar.
rogance or dictation, bat with all the de
liberation and earnestness which the
gravity of this great subject demands,
that these laws must ba repealed, and
that this power of the executive to con
trol the elections of the ^people’s repre
sentatives must be taken away.” (ap
plause oh the Democratic side.)
Cap* Town, via St. Vincxnt, April 1.
he plan for tbe relief of Colonel Pear-
eon’s command at Ekowe is to force a
passage through the enemy’s lines to
Ekowe with all possible rapidity, ex
change the garrison, provision the fort
for one month and form another post on
Ingingzuni heights, leaving it supplied
for a similar period. Perhaps a third post
will be established onlnajoni river. The

London, April 17.—Lord Derby, re
plying to an invitation to attend a meets
log of tho Lancashire Ccnservative
Association, of which he has hitherto
been president, writes as follows: “I can
not longer act as a member of that body,
and have to request the withdrawal of my
name from it.”
A Berlin dispatch to the Pall Mall Ga
zette says: “Count Schouveloff, deferring
to the Czar’s wish, has withdrawn his
reqneet to retire to private life, and will
probably remain as Russian Ambassador
to London.”
In tho House of Commons to-day. Sir
Stafford Nortbcote, referring to tbe state
ment published in the Lahore Civil and
Military Gazette, that an immediate ad
vance of the first diyieion had been or
dered, said the home government bad
not ordered an advance in Afghanistan,
and has no news of each a movement.

the marder and Harry Hinds a3 acces
sory to the murder before the fact, to
await the action of the grand jury.
Charleston, April 16.—Last evening
violent etorm of rain occurred here,
which continued throughout the night.
Accounts from the interior show that the
storm began with a terrific tornado,
which swept through the lower portion of
the State, causing great destruction of
life and property. In the village of Wal-
terford more than one hundred dwellings
and all tbe churches were swept away.
Three-fourths of the inhabitants are
homeless. Fifteen persons were killed

tion of the colored olerey met and society
directors of Louisiana, to consider the

The make-up of the convention is very
creditable, including among its members
careful thinkers and representative men.

«* Southern Refugees. 5
A Kansas City dispatch, tells a doleful
story about the destitution and suffering
of the negro emigrants from certain
Southern States, lured there by false
promises of % donation of 160 acres of
land to every family, and flaming pic
tures in water colors of an Eden of golden
prosperity and happiness, in a land of
teeming abundance, equality and frater
nity—a very garut-a of Heeperides—a
heaven of love and luxury, in whioh these
fortunate emigrants are invited by circu
lars and colored prints to take gratuitous
possession of 160 acres per family and
settle down at once to peace and plenty-
love, luxury and repose.
Acoording to this Kansas City dispatch,
a summary of which maybe found in the
telegrams to-day, a large number of
these colored emigrants, whom it styles
“refugee*,” have been landed at Wyan
dotte, on the Missonri river, in great des
titution—without food or money—and
quartered in tho churches and public halls
of the place, with the soft side of a pine
plank for a bed and such supplies of food
as an appeal to the citizens of the United
States may result in obtaining, but
which tho people of Kansas and Wyan
dotte a re unable to afford. The mayor
of the town has asked for rations from
tho Secretary of War, which he says
he has no authority to supply, and
refers them to Congress.
And this is tbe sombre realization of
all those gorgeous visions of happiness
inspired in tcese Southern emigrants to
Kansas by glowing circnlars and gaudy
wood cuts sent to Louisiana and Missis
sippi by the fomentors of this emigra
tion scheme. They have taken three or
fonr thousand negro laborers from
place where they were earning their
bread acd meat and now propose to keep
them from starving by sending round
the hat.
The partisan purpose and animus which
nnderly this disgraceful performance are
foroibly illustrated by the nse of a single
word in this Ksnsaj dispatch. These
people are repeatedly characterized as
“Southern refugees” They are not starv
ing in Kansa?, beoiuss they have been
deceived and betrayed into a volantary
emigration from tbe Sonth by false prom
ises and lying representation?. Oh no!
they are "refugees'.” They have fled in
terror from the rifle, the ehotgnn and the
bowie knife, content to ran the risk of
starvation among strangers, so that they
can bat esoape death and destruction at
the hands of the lawless Southern rebels.
So mnch is in a word. It ia trne that
those negroes, according to their own
statements as reported by the Radical
papers, left Louisiana to get better wages
—an easier time—good crops and 160
acres of land, and each of them had
these things all guaranteed them in the
Kansas circulars and pictorial emblazonry;
but when they got there and found
neither land, food, clothing, fuel nor
responsible friends, it is possible that tbe
negro, in felt-apology for his own folly,
and the Kansas Radicals, to qniet their
own consciences for the misery they have
inflicted, may agree to call it a flight in
stead of an emigration.
The question is will the people of the
United States endorse this cruel calumny
on the whites of the Southern States?
Aa starving emigrants, betrayed by false
promises and a foolish and impracticable
8obeme of emigration, lit them bs as
sisted. But, ns “Southern refugees,”
fleeing from lawless violence, they come
with a lie in their mouths, put there, in
deed, by the men who have betrayed
them for partisan purposes, but still a
lie, which makes charity a wrong, so
loeg as that lie is persisted in.
Grant’s Tltird Advent.
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says:
About this timo it is eafe to look out
for tbe eminent citizen, just returned
from Europe, who has seen Grant, and
has been made the sole depository of tbo
secret that Grant will not consent to be
a candidate for the Presidency. Grant iB
not yearning for tbe Presidency quite so
much as the Presidency ia yearning for
Grant. And as for those kindly idiots
who protest against “dragging Grant into
politios once more,” let them possess
their souls in patience. It won’t ba much
of a dra£.
This is strictly true. Everything
points to the fact that unless he destrovB
himself by drinking before the Republi
can convention assembles, it is a fore
gone conclusion that the military chief
tain who conquered tbe Confederacy by
the mere brute foroe of numbers, not
skillfull generalship, will again be made
the banner bearer of tho defeated Radi
cals. With trae 83gscity tho ex-Presi-
dsnt has left the country and employed
hia time in traversing the whole world,
pending the settlement of the projected
succession at home. He has thus been
able to avoid all entanglements and main
tain hia usual reticence npon political
subjects. What plans he may b.i matur
ing for the future it is difficult to learn.
But, judging from tbe past, there are
many who believe that, with his retnrn
to power, the American republic would
pass away and be converted into a mili
tary despotism.
It mu-tbe oonferssd, wbea we oonsider
tbe programme which has been mapped
out for the reception rf the conquering
bero, the thousands of partisans and sutl-
lites who will cross the continent with
binds of ma-tlo, fligs, mottoes and so-
olamatiocs to greet and escort him back,
that there may bs some reason to fear
that enoh adulation might, indeed, oul-
mmate ia the attempt to bestow sover
eign power npon the popular favor be.
Bat it sbonld be remembered that tbe
troa-nbbed Democracy nnmbsr more
tbanhaifof the nation, and they o*n
never oe sednoed into any snob snioidal
movement. AH, therefore, that is requi
re to defeat it, is harmony, conoert of
action and a stern determination to stand
by the constitution ot oor fathers. There
mast be a oessation of hostilities in the
Democratic camp, however, and private
ambition be made to give way to the pnb-
lio welfare. Barely, in view of tbe tre-
mendoaB interests at stake, tbe Independ
ent element of Georgia will follow tbe
example of their leaders In Congress', and
anile to make onr glorious commonwealth,
as in tbe past, tbe most solid State of the
“Solid South. We ean, and must, over
throw with a Waterloo defeat the Grant
ooalitioD.
Tbe JttusBian Nihilists.
The term nihilists— from the Latin
nihil, nothiog—was bestowed on this se
cret organization by its enemies. The
organization calls itself the “Russian
National Secret Society,” acd is said to
pervade the empire. The applicability
of the term “nihilists” is found in the al
leged fact that this society rejects all
current opinions, beliefs and traditions,
whether religious, politioal or social or
traditional. They are socialists of the
wildest sort. They are organized into
“cirolea”of sixty, and these divided eaoh
into ten "circles” of six. Every-member
is sworn to execute the nuammoas order
of his circle at any hazard of life—to
sacrifioe his life and all that is eacred in
the struggle against the blood-thirsty ty
rants and oppressors of tbe Russian peo
ple, and to .be ready to fight when the
grand sign calling to arms is given.
Monthly or weekly dues are collected
from tbe members and expended m the
purchase of arms and ammunition. Both
men and women belong to the order, and
it is said to embrace a lsrge proportion
of “Young Russia.” The meetings are
ostensibly social parties.
A less radical secret order in Raseia is
the “Siarovier,” or the “Old Faith Men,"
whioh is claimed to embrace about four
teen million Russians. Both are j ust now
very active and defiant, and the Russian
government ia considered to be in serious
peril ot lapsing into anarchy.
—Lord Beaconofleld is said to be look’ng
wofally aged »nd very frail. Ho hie a w»y
in Fa>Lament of sitting very still, in an ap
parent lethargy, for a long time; then he
suddenly starts np and makes a vigorous
speech, to th9 great astonishment of the
House.
_ Oar City Finances.
Council has acted with signal wisdom
in calling to its assistance an able com
mittee of representative citizens, who
have so private axes to grind, before
making any attempt to boIvb the
problem of oor financial future.
At a recent meeting a committee of
Aldermen,composed ot Messrs. Felix Cor-
put, W. E. Flanders, and J. D. Hudgins
(to which, on motion, the Mayor waa ad
ded), was appointed ia conjunction with
the following gentlemen, who by resolu
tion were named by the committee of
Council, to wit: L. N. Whittle,. Asher
Ayres, A. O. Bacon, J. & Jones, R. J.
Lawton and S. Waxelbaum, to eotunU to
gether upon what was beat to be done in
the premises.
It should be remembered that tbe debt
of tbe corporation in round numbers is
$700,000, and the rate of taxation as
fixed by the Jewett law onlycne per .ent
Hence the question arises, can tbe city
government go on, and the forthcoming
maturing bonds and the interest thereof
be met without special legislation and a
resort to some ontaide expedient?
This is what the joint wisdom of the
council and the astute committee of oiti-
zens they have had the good sense to
name, will be called npon to deeide.
So far as we ean learn, twe plans only
have been devised to sever the gordian
knot of onr monetary tronblea. The
first is a bedily increase of taxation
brought about by a petition to the Gen.
eral Assembly to modify the dtj charter
in suoh a way aa to permit the levy for a
limited period of an additional tax, say of
a half per cent, the avails thereof to be
placed in the hands of a commissioner
and devoted solely to the liquidation of
the corporation debt. The said com
missioner to give ample bond and seonnty
for the proper discharge of hia duty.
The other remedy ia to issue a batch
of new bonds at a low rate of interest,
perhaps five per oenb, whioh shall ran
thirty years, and a certain amount of
the oity taxes be set aside annually aa a
sinking fond to meet the scorning interest
and oanoel these bonds as they fall due.
This fund to be plaoed in tbe keeping of
a speoial commissioner, and used for
no other purpose. Thus, it is claimed,
oan be aooompliahed without any inoreaae
of taxation. This, if the debt of tbe oity
be $709,000, the annual rate of interest at
7 per oenL would amount to $49,000.
But if reduoed to 5 per cent, it would
only be $35,000, er $14,000 less. This
saving for thirty years would mount np to
$420 009, Many of onr best finanolera
think this plan, if aocepted by tbe pre
sent bondholders, would prove the salva
tion of the city, and in view of tbe great
cednot on in values generally, may be
ooneidered fair and equitable. .
We have no opinion to express on the
subject If possible, onr debt should be
paid, interest and principal, dollar for
dollar. Whatever plan shall be agreed
npon, however, after fall and joint con
sultation by the authorities and the peo
ple’s representatives, wo shall acquiesce
in most cheerfully.
It is proper to state*, however, that the
advocates of the latter plan claim that if
the proposed adjustment be oarried into
effect it cannot be regard^ in tbe light
of a compromise, as thy new five per
cent, bonds with the security guaran
teed, will bi more valuable n the market
than the old “sevens.” Nor does the
proposition smack in the leaBt of repudia
tion, as those who prefer to retain the
old bonds are at liberty to do so subject,
of course, to all tbe ri?k in the premises.
With the new five per ceats. there
would bs no risk as tbe means would be
provided tor tbe annual payment of the
nterest and their final redemption when
falling due.
God knows we have no object in view
fant tbe welfare of onr beautiful city, and
can only bopo snd trust that tbe way nt
length has been, opened for a safe and
honorable escape from all onr financial
perplexities.
THE GEOUGIa PRESS.
Riders to Appropriation Bills
Twelve years ago, says the New York
Sun, Congress bad before it a bill very
mnch like tho one pending to-day. It
was tho annual Army Appropriation bill,
and it contained the usual money sup
lilies, to which the majority—DeGolyer
Garfield, by the way, aiding aad leading
in the bnsiness—added a political rider.
But tbe rider of 1867 was not, like the
one of 1879, made germane to tbe bill by
reducing the army expenditures, and, so
far a» it was related to the army at all,
contemplated an increase of expenditure?.
Tbe rider of 1867 was not designed to
protcot tbe oitiaen in casting the vote of
freeman, nnawed by soldiery .but prohib
iten ten States between the Potomac and
the Rio Grands from maintaining miii-
tia.
To Andrew Johnson’s personal dignity
and pride, as Chief Magistrate, and to his
esnviotion that tbe States in question
were already restored to the Union oa a
level with the rest, this provision of the
army appropriation bill of 1867 struok a
bald blow. Nevertheless, this President,
proverbially free with vetoes, signed that
bill BDdsentit bank to Congress with this
message:
"To the House of Representatives: The
act entitled 'An act making appropria
tions for the support of the army for tbe
year ending June 30, 1863, and for other
purposes,’ contains provisions to which I
must call attention. Those provisions
are contained in tbe second section, which
in certain cases virtually deprives the
President of his constitutional functions
as Commauder.in-Chiet of tho Army,
and in the sixth seotioo, which denies to
ten States of this Union their constitu
tional right to proteot themselves in any
emergency by means of theirown militia.
Those provisions are out of place in an
appropriation act. 1 am compelled to
defeat theee necessary appropriations if I
withhold my signature to the act. Pressed
by these consideration? I feel constrained
to return the bill with my signature, but
to accompany it with tny protest against
the sections which I have indicated.

been a bobby with incompetent physi

effect a cure—of course tubercles had be

Another Noble and Gallant Citizen
Pabezd Aw at.—We are deeply pained to
(earn from the Thomaevilie Enterprise of
the untimely death on the 14tt> msr., at
bis residence, of Capt. Edwin T. Davis in
tbe 36 h year of his age. The Oaptain
was a brave Confederate soldier, and. bore
himself gallantly to the very close of the
wax when Johnson surrendered.
He was a man of indomitable energy,
never doing anything half way. He
served at one time as President of the
Thomasville Fair Association and con
tributed much to Us success. At the
time of his decease be was one of tbe six
Inspectors of Fertilisers under the State
Commissioner of Agriculture.
The writer knew Capt. Davis well and
loved him. He waB a consistent member
of the Baptist Church and leaves a wife
and two children to mourn his loss, We
extend te them our heartfelt sympa'hica.
Dbownxd in a Well.—Boston corres
pondence of the Thomasville Enterprise:
Perhaps the saddest and most heartrend
ing soene was witnessed in tho neighbor
hood of Grooverville, on Friday after
noon, that this seotioc hss ever known,
when the body of Mr. W. B. L.'e va*
found dead in a well on his mothet’s
plantation. Mr. Lee left the house on
t’hureday morning about 8 o’olook, as the
family thought, to see about some of tbe
farm laborers, and they paid no attention
to hia ahstn:e, nor suspected anything
out of the usual order ot things until late
in tbe afternoon. When he did not re-
turn they began to grow anxions about
him and to meke sestob. But he was
not found. On Friday morning great ex
citement prevailed tbrougout tbe neighbor,
hood. By searching in every conceivable
place they at last came to an old well,
about bald a mile from the house, where,
by tbe use of a pole, .tbs body of Mr.
Lee was found submerged some ten feet
under water in a standing posture. By
the aid of a pair of steelyards the body
was taken out and examined. He Lad a
razor in bis pocket, hia hat was wadded
and put into his pocket; also his shirt col.
iar unbuttoned, his lips ana teeth
clinched and there was no water in hie
bedy. Thera were no marks of violence
on his person, and thongh he left no pos
itive evidences of his intention to end his
life thu.<, circumstances will warrant the
assertion that it was premeditated. And
yet no reason can be assigned for snch a
rash coarse. Mr. Lse is of one of the
best families of Brooks county-in good,
easy circumstanoes, and recognized by
all who know bim as a perfect gentle
man.

that was precipitated into the mud and

A BntaiJakSk
A young man of eighteen or twenty, a
student in a university, took a walk one
day with a professor who was commonly
called the stndent’s friend, such was bis
kindness to the young men whom it was
his office to instinct.
- Wnile they were once walking together
and the professor was seeking to lead the
conversation to grave subjects, they saw
a pair of old shoes lying in tbe path
which they supposed to belong to a poor
man who bad nearly finished - bis day’s
work.
Theyonngstndent turned to the pto-
fessor, 8ijing, “Let ns play tbe man <•
trick. We will hide hia shoes and con
ceal ourselves behind these bashes, and
watch to Bee his perplexity when he can
not find them.”
“My dear friend,” answered the pro
fessor, t‘we mmt never ammo ourselves
at the expense of tbe poor. But yon are
riob, and may give yourself a mnch
greater pleasure by means of this poor
man. Pnt a crown piece, if yon have
them, in each shoe, and then we will
hideontaelves.”
The student luckily having two crown
pieces did so, and then placed bimstlf,
*lth the professor, behind the bushes
bard by, through which they could easily
watch tbe laborer, and whatever wonder
or joy he might express.
The poor man soon finished his werk
and came across tbe field to the path
where he left his coat and shoes. While
he pat on his coat he he slipped one toot
into one of his shoe?. Feeling some-
tning hard, he stooped down and found
the crown. Astonishment and wender
were upon bis countenance. He’
gazed upon the crown, tamtd it
ronnd, and looked again and agnin;
then he looked round on all
sides, but could see no one. Now, he
pnt the money in his pocket and pro
ceeded to put on the other; but what was
bis astonishment when be found the
other crown! His feelings overcame
him. He fell upon hm knees, looked up
to heaven, and uttered a loud and fervent
thanksgiving, in which he spoke of his
wife sick ana helpless, and his children
who, by some unknown band would be
saved from perishing.
The young man stood there deeply
affected and with tears in his eyes.
•Now,' said the professor, 'are you not
better pleased than if yon had played
yonr intended trick ?’
'Oh! dear air,* answered the youth,
“you Lave taught me a lesson that I will
never forget. I feel now the truth of
the words which I never before under
stood, 'it iB more blessed to give than to
receive.’ *
The Planters’ Warehouse Case.
Tbe following is the full text of the
decisicn of the Supreme Court in the
Flanrera’ warehosae case, allusions to
whioh have been made several times re
cently. (juite a nnmbsr are directly in
terested in it and many others desire to
learn the exact status and result of the
oase:
Wabneb, O. J.—This waa a bill filed
by the complainants against the defen'
dints, with a prayer for an injunction, on
the allegations contained therein. The
ohanoelior, after considering the same
the answers of the defendants thereto,
and the affidavits filed by the respective
parties, refuted to grant the iojonotion.
Whereupon the oomplainants exoepted.
Tbe ground of equity alleged in the com
plainants' bill is that oertain directors
and shareholders in its oompany have re
ceived a large amount of rente, arising
from I he n9e of the corporate property,
and have applied the same tb a oertain
olaim of their own, under a oontraot of
forbearanoe to euforoe the judgment
therein set forth, and that said oontraot is
usnrions; and the prayer ot the bill ia that
said direotors acd shareholders may be de
creed to account for the usarious interest
received by them under said alleged ueut*
ons oontraot, and that the same may be
oredited on the judgment against tbe com,,
plainanta. There is no question of usury
in the case, for the simple redton that
said directors and shareholders of the
company were the agents and quasi trua
teeacf the corporation, and had no power
or authority under its chatter to make an
illegal usurious contract which would
bind the corporation or its assets. There
fore, when the complainant shall pay on
the judgment what ib apparently due
thereon over and above, what is appa
rently due by the defendants on account
of the corporate assets received by them,
(to be judged of by the chancellor,) then
let tho sale of the property be enjoyed
until the defendants shall fully account
for the a=Bets of the corporation received
by them, that the same may be applied
in payment of the judgment.
Let, the judgment of the court below be
reversed with directions as hereinbefore
indicated.

Tbe Mexican War Pensioners,
Frequent allusions, says an exchange,
has been made by the press to the pen-
siona not yet given to the surviving sol
diers in the Mexican war. The pension
of the privates would be eight dollars,
per month—that of the officers, according
to their grade or rank. The pay of a
lieutenant was thirty dollars, which was
increased by commutation for rations,
et&, to aixty-two dollars per month.
The pension of this officer would be half
pay or fifteen dollars per month. Tbe
number of survivors is not large. The
per centage of deaths annually haa been
abont three per cent. This will leave
ten living from every 100. * Sbonld snch
a pension be granted at this time, it will
relieve in some measure tbe financial
pressure which deadens all enterprise?.
Xt would do muoh toward* restoring the
''armor pair'sb’’ for the entire country
over which the stars and stripes wave,
and destroy tbe sectionalism which is at
this time so baneful in its teachings.
The amount of money required annu
ally would not be one thousandth part
of the revenues derived from the wealth
ot the country added to our domain by
their efforts. Thirty years have passed,
and but few of those soldiers whose la
bors added so muoh to the material
wealth of the country, are new living.
Eaoh year will lessen that number. Are
they asking too much, when they ask
that this pension be given by the present
Congrcs:?

The following officers were elected for
the ensuing year:
O. T. Rogers, of Coviegton, Fast Grand

and M. M. Hill, Augusta, were eleoted
trustee?. O. T. Rogers, of Covington,
and Colonel 0. S. Dubose, ot Warrentoo,
were eleoted Grand Benissemaiives to
the Grand Lodge of tho United State?.
Athens was selected sb the next place
for holding the Grand Lodge of the
State, and it will occur on the third
Wednesday in April, 1880.
Before adjournment tbe following was
unanimously passed by the body:
Upon motion, it was resolved that the
thanks of the Grand Lodge be extended
to Emmett Lodge No. 250, Knighta of
Honor, the press and the oitiz*n3 of Ma
con for the very hospitable manner In
which this body baa been entertained
during its session in this city.
Toe session has been very pleasant in
Macon, and not only in publie but in
private, the members of the Lodge have
expressed themselves aa highly pleased
with the coidtsl and hospitable enter
tainment white in our city. Such an in
telligent and fine looking body of meB
has seldom gathered in thia place.
Cumberland
ana Adams
Island
Pub.
The Brnnswick road has for the season
reduced its rates of fare to Cumberland
Island and is offering tempting induce
ments to all to go down and spend some
time at the seaside. Rates have also
been made proportionately low to potato
along the line for fishing and other par
ties. A large business will be done in
this class of travel this spring and sum
mer.
The road bas also at a large expense,
fitted np the Adams Park, just twenty
miles from the city, in superior style for
the accommodation of pionio parlies, the
celebration of tbe anniversaries of com
panies, lodges, fire companies, in fact for
every use to which snob a place c\nhe
put.
The road will see to it that but party
will use it at a time, and while there the
entire grounds will be exclusively under
the the charge ot its managers, and will
be enabled to admit or deny whom they
please. The road will psrmit no bar to
be erected near the floor, and in regard to
refreshments of that kind each party
makes ns own regulations. The supply
of water is abundant on the grounds. A
platform, well shingled, forty bv bixty
feet, two cottages, croquet lawns, rwinge,
eta, make up tho attractions. We can
see no reason why this park should not
be headquarters for all parties leaving
the city.

THE GENUINE *
DR.C.McLANE’S
CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
P \1N in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure ; sometimes the pain is.in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt’ under the shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The stom
ach is affected with loss of appetite
and sickness; the bowels in general
are costive, sometimes alternative with
lax; the head is troubled with pain,
accompanied with a dull, heavy .sen
sation m the back part. There is gen
erally a considerable loss of memory,
accompanied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something which
ought to have been done. - A slight,
dry cough is sometimes aR attendant.
The patient complains of weariness
and debility; he is easily startled, his
feet are cold or burning, and he com
plains of a prickly sensation of the
skin; his spirits are low; and although
iic is satisfied that exercise would be
beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try it.
In fact, lie distrusts every remedy.
Several of the above symptoms attend
tha disease, but cases have occurred
where few of them existed, yet exam
ination of the body, after death, has
shown the liver to have been exten
sively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr. C. McLane’s Liver Pills, in
cases of Ague and Fever, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a fair trial.
For all bilious derangements, and
as a simple purgative, they are un
equaled.
BSWASIS OF IHIYaTIOXS.
The genuine are never sugar coated.
Every box has a red wax seal on the
lid, with the impression Dr. McLane’s
Lives Pills.

Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the

name StcLunc, spelled differently but
same pronunciation. 9
