I?# #©J5Kgt«t MijaMg Csljegc&plji atijbr 3mnm&l & Messumg^c* BY TELEGRAPH 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 bis return to this conntry. Laid over 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 relieving oolnmn takes the coast road, where then, is little bash, and move un der the guidance of John DnnD, former- Cetywayo’a adviser. No tents are taken. Each night there will be a biv- ouaoand the camp will b9 entrenched. 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. Baltimore, April 17 —Tbe jury of in quest in tbe Hinds-Jamcs shooting case reassembled this evening, and after bear ing tho testimony, rendered the following verdict: “Chat Isaac James came to hia death from pistol shot wounds fired by Dad wood B. Hind?, aided and abetted by his brother.” Upon tho rendition of this verdict tbe coroner committed to jail Denwood B. Hinds as piincip3l for 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 and many more wounded. At Oakley Station, on the Northeastern railroad, all the houses, oocupied by negroes, were blown down. One negro was killed and many harL Similar casualties are re- parted from various parts of the State in tbe track of the tornado. Naw Orlcans, April 17.—A conven tion of the colored olerey met and society directors of Louisiana, to consider the question of tho exodus of their people, met at the Free Mission Baptist church at noon to-day. Rev. Dr. C. H. Thomp son, of the colored Episcopal church, was chosen president and addressed the con vention. The vice presidents and Secre taries are delegates from the tnrbalent parishes and refugees from their homes, and 260 delegates were present, half of whom represent Orleans and *djlining parishes. The balance of the d-li-gatcs are from balid- z d part-u-s ij N ,ttnern and Middle Lou...ana. Too committees on addresses, migration and relief were appointed, and tbe convention adjourned until to-moriow. The make-up of the convention is very creditable, including among its members careful thinkers and representative men. Galvxston, April 17-—The News has a special dispatch from Eagle Pass, which says a Mexican named Muroe last night fatally cut his wife’s throat. His daugh ter, while attempting to interfere, was also injured. A neighbor who tried to arrest Muros was hewn with an axs and shortly afterwards died. The murderer escaped into Mexico. Ricskond, Va., April 17.—In the oase of Aagelo B.ieo;gilupo, who is on trial for attempting the mutder of his wife, March 13tb, the jury returned a verdiot of guilty. Toe prisoner was sentenced to eight years in the penitentiary. Nxw Orlzans, April 17.—Steamer Ja maican from Vera Cruz hss arrived, bringing dates from the City of Mexico np to the 10th instant. Hipalito Rami rez had taken tbe portfolio of the treas urer, vice Romero. This appointment produced dissatisfaction among Presi dent Diaz's partisans, Rimirez being an Imperialist. After three days of official life, Rami rez, on the 10th instant, resigned, and was succeeded by Trinidad Garcia, who was Minister of Gobernaoion. Edward Parkbnrst haa been appointed Minister of Gobernacion. . Work has been stopped on the exposi tion building, Treasurer Garcia having refused to furnish money in advance of the appropriation?. Cortinor was very ill in prison in the Citv of Mexioo.

Baxthcobb, April 17.—A special to the Americ •nsays: When the train which left Washington with James Carroll, the negro acoused of ontrsging Mrs. Thomas, at Lickaville, Maryland, on Monday last, reached Washington Junction to-day, 16 or 20 masked men boarded the tram and after a desperate straggle succeeded in overcoming the policemen. The piieoner woe dragged from the train, a rope was thrown over his head and he was pulled acrcsi a field about one hundred yards to the nearest tree and hang-d. The whole* proceeding occupied but thirty nainnte-, the maaxera riding silently away after Carroll had been pronounced dead.

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.

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. Andbsw Jounson. March 2, 1867.

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.

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. Whittle &, Whittle; W. Dessau, for plaintiff in error. Lofton & Bartlett; Bacon & Ruther ford; Lyon & Gresham, for defendants. 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 midget* were not merited oe Sun day, and aren’t going to b»; It was only an advertising dodge. TOEKNlSHtt OF HONOR. Yesterday morning the Grand Lodge of the Btate of Georgia of the KmghU of Honor reassembled .in the lodge of the Order in this place. The day wsb spent mostly on routine business, the reports of committees, the election and installa tion of officers and the general discus sion of the good of the Order. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: O. T. Rogers, of Coviegton, Fast Grand Diotator; 8. H. Shepard, Augusta, Grand Diotator; B. J. Powell, of BarneaviUe, Vioa Grand Diotator; Dr. Wm. King,Jr., of Athene, Grand Assistant Diotator; S. K. Cook, BarneaviUe, Grand Reporter; Rev. R. H. Jones, Cartersville, Grand Treasurer; Rev. A.T.

Cabanies Forsyth 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.
