If the bill contained no other provisions, no objection to its approval would ho made. It embraces, however, a number of clauses relating to subjects of crest general interest, whioh are wholly nnconneoted with the appropriation which it provides for. Objections to the oraoiica of tacking general legisla tion to appropriation bills, especially when tho object is to deprive a co ordinate branch of the Government of its right to a free exercise of its own discretion and judgment touching such general legislation, were eet forth in a special message in relation to House bill number one, which was returned to the House of liepresentatives on the 29th of last month. He regrets that the objections which were then expressed to this method of legislation have not eeemed to Congress of° sufficient weight to dissuade them from a renewed incorporation of general onactments in appropriation bills and that his constitutional dnty, in respeot of the general legislation thus placed be fore him, cannet be discharged without seeming to delay, however briefly, the necessary appropriations by Congress for the support of the Government. He then quotes the clauses repealing the sections of the revised statutes in re lation to the supervisors of elections and deputy marshals, and states that the bill, if spproved, would repeal or amend sec tions of the act approved May 30tb, 1870, and amended February 20,1871, entitled as set to enforco the rights of citizens in the United States to vote in the several Suites of thi3 Union and for other pur- poser, and says tho true meaning and ef fect of proposed legisla t ion ore plain. Supervisors with authority to*observe and witness the proceedings at Congressional elections will be left, but there will be no power to protect them or to prevent interference with their duties, or to pun ish any violation of law from which their power are derived. It this bill is approved only a shadow of authority of the Uoited States at the national elections will remain. The sub sistence will be gout; the supervision will bo reduced to a mere inspection without authority on the part of supervisors to do ; ny act whatever to make the election a fair one; alt that will be lett to the super visors is permission to have such over- eight of elections as political parlies ere in*the habit of exercising, withont any authority of law, in order to prevent tbeir opponents from obtaining unfair advan tages. The object of the bill is to de stroy any control whatever by the United States ever congressional elections. The passage of this bill has been urged upon the ground that the election of members to Congress is a matter which concerns the States alone—that these elections should be controlled exclusively by the States; that there are, and cm be, no such elections as na tional eleotions, and that the existing laws cf the United States regulating Oon- giesiional elections, are without warrant in the constitution. Ho then quotes the constitution to show that the framers of that dooument regarded the eleotion of members of Con gress in every State sa justly a matter of politioal interest and conoern to the whole country, and refers to the law pass ed to 1866, which prescribed rail end de tailed regulations for the election of Sen ators by the legislatures of the several States, and says: This law has been in force almost thirteen years. In pursu ance of it all members of the present Senate of the Uoited States hold their seals. Its constitutionality is not called in question. It is confidently believed uo sound argument osn be made in sopport of the constitutionality of the national regnlation of the Sena torial eleotions, which will not show that the eleotions cf members of the House of Representatives may bu also constitutionally regulated by national authority. f The bill before me itself recognizes the principle that Congressional elections are not State elections, but national elec tions. It leaves in lull force the existing statute under which supervisors are Btill to be appointed by national authority to “observe and witness" Congressional elections, whenever application is made by citizens who desire said elections to be "guarded and scrutinized." It power to supervise in any respect whatever Congressional elections exists under section 4th, article 1, of the Con stitution it is a power which, like every other power belonging to tho Govern ment of the Uoited States, is paramount and supreme and includes the right (o employ the necessary means to carry it into effect. He concludes as follows: This bill recognizes the authority and duty of the United States to ap point supervisors to guard and scru- inize Congressional elections, but denies the Government of the United States ell power to make its supervision effectual, i he great body of the people, of all par- hes, want free and fair elections. They oo tot think that a free election means freedom from wholesome restraints of J»w, or that the place of election should •>«» sanctuary for lawlessness and crime. On the day of election peace and good ®'der are more necessary than on any other day of the year. On that day the humblest and feeblest citizens, the aged »nd infirm, should be—should have rea- *on to feel that they are safe in the exer cise of their most responsible duty, and thmr most sacred rights as members of vote y~""tke ,r d °ly and their right to The constitutional authority to regu late congressional elections, which be- longs to the Government of the United Jstates and which it is necessary to exert to secure the right to vote to every citi- cea possessing the requisite qualifica tions, ought to be enforced by appropri- •^legislation. far from publio opinion of any part ™ country favoring any relaxation of authority of government in the protection elesUons/romviolenoe and corruption, a believe it demands greater vigor bolh u enactment and in the execution of laws r&med for that purpose..

Messina, May 29.—The volcano of Mount Etna is in full eruption. Three new craters hare appeared near the town of Bandaggo, at the northwest foot of the monntain. Streams of lava are flow ing down the western elope. Several villages are threatened with destruction, and there is great alarm among the In habitants. London, May 29.—The following tele graphic intelligence has been received at Lloyds: An engagement bos taken place off Iqique, Fern, between the Chilian wooden vessels Esmeralda and Cavadon- ga and the Peruvian armor-plated frigate Independence. All three vesselc sank. The Independence was the most impor tant vessel in the Peruvian navy, carry ing fourteen heavy Armstrong guns Washington, May 29.—In the Hou3e Mr. Gibson, from the Committee of Ways and Means, reported a resolution provid ing for tho final adjournment cf Con gress on the 10th of J une. O t' w—*ou oi Mr. Atkins it was laid over till Saturday. Tho biU placing vessels and bulks of the navy at the disposal of the commis- sioners of the quarantine, reported by Mr. Goode, was amended by inserting the words “with the approval of the National Beard of Health,” and it was passed, The veto message was received from the President, laid beforo the House and was read. It was listened to with close and, for a time, almost respeotfnl atten tion, only .an audible titter went tbrongb the Demooratic ranks when the sentence was read as to the effect of the existing law being to seonre honest elections. Again, when the sentenoe was read as to what good faith, honest endeavor and ju dicial authority can do for the protection of the eleotive franchise, the Democrats laughed onlright, and the Bepubltcans, as a counter demonstration, applauded. Mr. Cox wanted to have the sentence read again, bnt hia wish was not grati fied- At the conclusion of the reading the Bepnbliosns again applauded. The Honse prooeeded to vote on the bill, and refused to pass it over the President’s veto. Yeas, 112; nays, 91—a striot par ty vote. It was then referred to tho Ju diciary Committee. On motion of Mr. Stephens the Senate amendments to the subsidiary coinage bill were concurred in. Adjourned to Mon day. Washington, Ma7 29.—To tho Senate, on Mr. MoDonald’s resolution to refer to the Committee on Eleotion Frauds the petition of the oitizsns of Bhode Is land, complaining of a deprivation of tbeir right to vote by reason of the prop erty qualification in that State, an anima ted debate on the relative apportionment of votes in the different States arose, in which Blaine, Hill and Vance took port. Blaine said that the small voles in the several districts of Georgia and other Sontbern States was undoubtedly caused by intimidation. This was denied by Hill, who explained that where only one candidate was nomi nated the people did not tnra ont, and a small poll was the natural result. He ab solutely denied the intimations of fraud made by the Senator from Maine. Vance spoke to the same effect. The Senate then took up the bill rega- latiog the use of the militia and the land and naval forces. Mr. Wallace moved an amendment, and spoke at length, denouncing certain uses of the ermy and favoring tho present bill. The river and harbor bill was then ta ken np. Mr. Hereford spoke in favor of and Conkling against the bill. Wiiile the latter was epeaking a motion to ad journ until Monday prevailed. At the session ot the Ways and Means Committee to-day Felton, of Georgia, of fered the following resolution: That the committee on Ways and Means will re port to the Honse daring this session of CougreEB a bill repealing the duty on all the salts of cinchona, or Peruvian bark, with tho recommendation that it pass. Frye made a point of order that under the resolution recently adopted by the committee, that this committee will not consider at this session any biUB or joint resolutions affeetiog the revenue, and that ell such measures shall b> laid over until the regular session in December, be com mi tee could cot eutertain this resolution. The chairman, (Gibson, of Louisiana) overruled"the point of erder, whereupon Conger appealed. The decision was cot sustained, and Felton’s resolution was therefore defeated. Washington, May 29.—William P. Kellogg has to-day addressed a letter to Senator Saulsbnry, ohairman of the Com mittee on Privileges and Eleotions, stat ing that he is credibly informed that enb- pcoaas in blank have been sent by a dep uty sergeautiHt-oi - - -o New Orleans for the purpose of eub, u; laing witnesses to testify in behalf of Bpofford, who acoom- paoiis the effiv-r, and thst subpeosas are to be filled up npoa their arrival there at Spoffora’d dictation. He complains that be cannot procure evidence to meet Spofford’d testimony, unless he- is in formed who are the witnesses whom the latter proposes to oril, and that if he waits till they arrive to ascertain he will not have time to get bis own witnesses here before Congress adjourns. He, therefore, asks that he tlio be furnished with blank subpoenas, in order that he may be placed on an equality with his contestant. Washington, May 29.—The Treasurer of the United States rendered a decision to-day holding that the fonr percent- re funding certificates are virtually govern ment bonds, and that banks may deduct them from tbeir taxable capital in making retnrns to assessors, in the same manner that bonds arc deducted.

Spabtanbubg, S. 0., May 28,1879. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Hav ing accepted an invitation from the Presbyterian Sunday School ot this place to visit “the mountains” with them a short time since, yonr correspondent was placed in great enjoyment. The plcnie was a success. For the benefit of yonr valued readers who are now thinking offlying for rest and fresh air, I want to mention a spot where they may go, and to bring before the people au enterprise, which Georgia has comeito the front and carried through—the won derful railroad called the Spartanburg and Askville Railroad. It was began in 1866, bat was soon suspended for want ot fends, so many were ekeptiool of its ruccess, especially of its passage over tho .'Blue Bidge Mountains; Since, however, by the liberality of B. Y. MoAden, of South Caroline; W. H. Inman and Gen. Alfred Austell, of Georgia, and the per- heveranco of Maj. Jaa, Anderson, its re ceiver, this great iron path has wound its way over the Blue Bidge, and will soon connect Western North Carolina with the thriving city of Spailanbnrg, S. C. About twenty-seven miles from Spar- tanbnrg we arrived at Trion Monntain, a monntain resembling ( historic “Kennes- saw,’’ of Georgia. From this poin the scenery is aim i t inls-’cribably beauti ful. The road winds its iron way along the valleys, at the ba33 and upon the brow of high mountains, and over streams, which dash in wild pace far be low the railroad. From Tricn to Mellwood, a distance of nine miles, we passed mountains, some of them reaching almost to the cloude; the eye rests in blissful ecstacy upon their green and azure summits. An'oc casional rill, as it is hurled down the monntain, like some va3t profusion of sparkling lace, adfs new vigor of onr rapturous gaze. As .re crept slowly along a hillside, immediately on one side was the lofty brow of the mountain, on the other and below us dashed the foam ing Pacalette river. One would think that it was nature’e great laundry day. and the white in is performed perpetnal ablation. From Millbrook to Salm’e, a distance of three miles, there is one of the most won derful piecss of railroad in the world. The grade for the first mile is 237 fees, aod in the three miles the grading exceeds 600 feet. On some of the grades, just as wo are passing over a hill, away np above the river, and in a deep ont of over 86 feet, there is a curve of ten degrees. I sat upon the engine and watobed this im mense machine, creep, like an animated monster, np this rocky path, and praised man’s ingenuity. The register snowed, in the three mile3,160 ponnds of steam— didn’t vary one pound, even on the onrves. The engine was “wooded np’’ six times inside of the three miles. Twenty minutes were consumed in making the t a ‘ distance. This seems an impossibility, | 88 8 waoner * bnt it is so. The engine is a thirty-fire ton “Mognl,” made for the road, and has every modern improvement attaohed to it, air brakes, eto. There is not a tunnel on the road. The road bed is made of decomposed granite. The care taken in tho cousirnation of the road is ehown by every feature. The Sampson flanged fish piste is used. The Whorten patent switch being used, there is not a break in the m«io line, consequently no “switch accident’ can ooour. that “happy valley.” I do not propose to speak of Trion Talley, as some have in the past; bnt I simply state facts unembelished. This valley is about one and a half miles long and a quarter of a mile wide, and owing to the formation, being protested from all cold winds and enjoyiog a fine southerly exposure, there has never been any kill ing frost in the valley. Think of it, a spot about 1,500 feet above the level of the sos, in the very crest of the Bine Bidge Mountains, never having frost suf ficient to the extermination of vegetables, when only a few miles over the moun tains the vegetable kingdom has been killed effectually every yearly frost. The snow will melt in this valley, while a few miles away np the mountains the thermometer stand twenty degrees belowzero; and the enow np there holds its stainless drapery defiant to the son’s rays. The difference in time of harvest in the valley and a few miles over the mountains, is about five weeks Sa luda i* nine miles from Trion station and is 1,100 feet higher altitude. Anywhere between Tricn and Saluda a consumptive could hardly die of the disease. The road will reach Henderson, North Carolina, in a few days. Asbvilleis twenty miles beyond. Passengers for Aehville reach it by a coach drive of about five hours. «. At Spartanburg there has just . been completed one of the most perfect ar ranged summer hotels in the South. It handsome brick building, with all the modern improvements, electric bells, etc. It is kept by Captain C. C Chase, formerly of the Mansion Home, Green ville, Sonth Carolina. Letters to him from suffering invalids and pleasure seekers will receive prompt replies. The Air Line Bailroad sell very cheap tickets to this land of healthfulncss and pleas ure. Choice. THIS GEOUGUA .Ptt£88. Mb. W. T. Feat.—An old pupil psye a most just and feeling tribute to the worth of this deceased educator in the colatnns of the Savannah ZIorningKeics from which we extraot the following: He was a gentleman of scientific cul ture, exhaustive, thorough and correct in his mastery of all the matters he taught. He wa3 a constant student, versed in the principles of science. He was a born teacher. Elis methods of communicating knowledge were original and masterly He took great pride in his calling and illustrated it. He was a genial gentle man, fall of bonhommie. He wae hearty and social as any one I ever knew, He would sometimes in the midst of a lesson 8 top the recitation and ulk for a half honr in the most agreeable manner. He was full of illustration and comment ary. I can recall his ringing, contagious laugh. He had a wonderful sympathy with a fresh, bouyant boy, and we all loved and respected him. He was gen erous, hospitable,kind-hearted,chari table courageous, abhorred deceit, loved and practiced truth, and is a type of teacher that is not often seen. He never forgot his pupils, but kept up with them and took warm interest in their subsequent careers, I never went to Savannah with out caUing on him, end his greeting was always cordial. It is said that Mr. Fea7 was born to means, but spent them extr >vagantly. Finding his money gone, he firmly tamed beok npon his errors, and with sturdy in dependence settled down to the nnacus- tomed drudgery of teaohing. It is said also thst ho had a love affair; that the lady died, and he remained faithful to her memory. He never married. He was a true man in every sense of the word, and a myriad of gentlemen scatter ed over the country will reoall hia virtues and the recollections of his ministrations Spurgeon on Himself. At the “annual tea and suppei” given te the friends and supporters of Mr. Spurgeon’s “Pastor’s College” in London, Mr. Spurgeon said that ho need to have no end of enemies; whether they wore all dead he did not know, but they were much quieter than they used to be. There were his friends of the Chufoh of England. Did he evei refuse to speak all he thought about them ? And yet one of tha first things ho received in the course of his illness was a letter from the Bishop of his diocese to express hia ex treme sorrow, a letter and book from the Dean of Chester, and another letter from Archdeacon Law, of Gloucester; also, another from a very high churchman, whose name be would not mention, be cause he was so dreadfully high, ail ex pressive of deep love to him. It seemed strange te him that such a grumpy indi vidual as himself, and one who could grumble so very loudly, should be treated so kindly. He began to fear he must have been doing eometbiog wrong, and he began to question his conscience; but on the whole he could not remember un faithfulness in bi3 utterances. He re joiced in the conduct of the brethren con cerned, and returned to all their affec tion. Whenever anybody saog his praises ho sank to the very lowest in spirit direct ly. but on his being abased up went his spirits, and he defied the very devil him- self when it came to a fi'bt. The excursion party that went from Buffalo; to Niagara on Wednesday, witnessed the awful spectacle of a man going over tho falls. Pi Walker we a ono of the most daring of the guides when sober, and when drunk was foolhardy. On this day he was drank at Port Day several miles above the falls, and under took to row in a small boat to Goat Is land. This feat is always dangerou*. because if a landing is not skillfully made the boat may be carried into the rapids, but Walker had frequently ac complished it. On this oocasion, how ever, ho was incapacitated from intoxi cation. Fivo hundred of the exouision- ists, standing on the Goat Island bridge, saw him coming down stream on the American side. He bad lost control of the boat, esc of the cars was displaced, and he wa3 cowering helplessly on the seat. The boat struck on a hardly sub merged rock, and it seemed for a moment that escape was possible, bnt the man was too dazed to act quickly. Instantly he was hurried into the rapids. The craft was shattered against another rock, and he was thrown into the water to be flung over the cataract and disappear. Card ot Tftanlca. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Per mit ns tbrongb the oolnmns of ycur ex cellent and widely circnlated paper to ex press onr thanks to the officials of the Meoon and Brunswick Bailroad for the many kindnesses and courtesies extend ed by them to the Hawkinsvifle Sunday eohools on their recent excursion to Ma con. The liberal and accommodating management of their road renders it de servedly popular with all who travel tberebn or have business transactions therewith.

Cbane, Esq.—Sa vannah Slews: At the Independent Pres byterian Oimrch yesterday afternoon, at half-past three o’clock, was witnessed the funeral services in memory of our late fellow-citizen, Heman A. Crane, Esq., and the estimation in which he was held was attested fully by the large concourse present. The services were conducted by Bev. Dr. Axson, and were of a more than ordinarily solemn character, the de ceased having been for many years most devoted and zealous member of the First Presbyterian Church, whose pastor is now absent from the city. As a token of reepect and regard, the members of tbe ( Sunday school of that chnrcb, under Superintendent H. F. Train, Esq., were present in a body, Mr. Crane having been for aloog time superintendent and teach er in the school. The members of tho Savannah Benevolent Association were also present. Tub Chronicle and Constitutionalist fur nishes us the following local items: Queeb Freak op Lightning.—Yester day afternoon, during the thunder Btorm, a drum hold by Mr. William D. White, on Broad street, was struck by lightning and considerably injured. Mr. White was stunned, but not hurt. Dozens of Augusta merchants run small and profitable farms around the city. Cotton in Bichmond county looke small and sickly, while the grass in many sections is getting away with it. The Brooklyn Ovation to Goyerno3 Colquitt.—The Eagle publishes a long and detailed account of the late immense Sunday school gathering in Brooklyn and the noble part Georgia's pions and excel lent Chief Magistrate took in the inter esting programme. His concluding re marks were as follows: I should like to be a boy onco more for to-morrow, to take my place in the ranks and march with you, and hear you talk and see whether you are like Georgia boys or not. From what I see I do not think there can be much difference. There is one thiDgfor which I should like to be a boy again. I should like to go with you to help you carry your ban ners and sing your songs, but I should like to be a boy once more that I might call back for a little while my mother •from bevond the ekies. I should like to kneel at her feet and look up into her clear, calm eyes once more, and beg her if ever in my boyish waywardness I had planted a thorn in her heart that she would forgive me, and then to feel her warm, tender hand Lid once more upon my bead in loving tenderness and forgiveness. If 1 could feel that once more, I should be willing that she should go back to her bright place among tho stars. Now, boyB, I thank you all, and am ready to join hands with you in the march to the upper kingdom. [.Prolong ed applause.] Afterwards a magnificent reception was tendered tho Governor and his wife at Mr. Smith’s residence, No. 395 Wash ington Avenue. On this occasion a splendid basket of flowers, five feet in circumference, was presented to Mrs. Colquitt, and a very large and distin guished company ot ladies and gentle men paid their respects to Georgia’s Ex ecutive. DhA‘Tbous Fire in Atlanta.—Con stitution : Yesterday morning about four o’otook a most disastrous fire occurred in the large building ot Messrs. Traynbam, Gelse & Bay, located on Decatur street adjoining the Willingham property. An alum ot fire was bounded shortly before tLat hour, and the department, with tbeir apparatus, turned out in full force. Up on arriving at the scene it was discovered that the fllines were making tbeir way eut of the rocf covsring the rear portion of tho store of J. B. Jones & Bio., whioh is boated in the building of Messrs. Traynbam, Geiae & Eiy. Too energy of tha firemen and the water from tbeir eogines were at onoa directed at this por tion of the building for tho purpose of patting out the flames and saving as much of the property as possible. The fire burned very rapidly, and soon the flames had spread to the store adjoining, oocupied by the owners of the property, and also to an extensive ware-zoom above, which was filial with wood-work consist ing of doors, blinds and sash-frames. After s eady and hard work for about an hour the firemen succeeded m getting control of the fire, and shortly afterwards the last vestige of lhs flimes had been put out by tho numerous streams of wa ter that were kept continually pouring upon them. True Southron: Lieutenant Sambs Ms- Danald, colored, while making a speech to his colored friends last Saturday evening, opened wide his mouth to give utterance to his eloquence, when the busy end of a bee struck him on his tongue, which brought down the speaker and his andience.

He immediately gothiB gun and shot the snake twice, and then had to caU Mingo Glaze, a colored man, for assistance in killing if. He oat the snake open after- wards,and found inside of it three turkeys and a chicken. Says the snake was eight or nine feet long and abunt two feet in circumference. It had twelve rattles, which we now have in the office. It was on ngly customer, and Jessy says that he now intends leaving Georgia, for when ha finds such snakeB in two hundred yards of his house he does not believe it healthy for himself. Must be Seen is be Believbd,—Re publican : We haYe rather a curiosity in the way of a picture that was unearthed on the plantation ot Mr. D. E.

This, however, is unusually early in the season for even the scattering ones to make tbeir appear ance. They hava made their appearance in Dallas county, Ala. The Agricnltural College in Thomas villa may be considered a fixed fact. Atlanta Post: Governor Colquitt is expected to arrive here to-morrow on his return from New Yoik.

This increase, during the present year, -fa&e been notioeable. On Sunday, just pass ed, there were laid out for burial three negroes whom disease had stricken down. We are unable to acconnt for this mor tality. The oity has never been in health ier condition than it is at present. The oity has never bzen freer of disease, and with onr white population the mortality is remarkably light. The only solution seems to be a want of cleanliness and attention, especially medioal attention amoBg the blacks. The mcrtality among them is sufficiently large to atiraot some attention, and if the rate increases, it may beoome necessary for the authorities to investigate the matter. The health of onr colored population is a matter of con siderable interest, and we should see to it that disease and destitution among them receive proper attention. Kate Sotheen.—Bntler Herald: On last Wednesday Mrs. Kate Sothern, the murderess of Mrs. Cowart, of Pickens county, having been confined in Wash ington county, was brought to Beynoids in this connty, where she will remain at the camp of Colonel C. B. Howard. She will doubtless be kept in his family to do tho sewing for the remaining conviots. E-cape of Convicts.—Bntler Herald: During the past week seven oonviotsirom the oamp of Colonel C. B. Howard, near Beynoids, in this connty, have made their escape. Among them was one white man by the name of Collins, who had been sentenced at the last term of the Superior Court of Musoogee county, lor a number of years, for committing rape upon a white woman. Diligent eearoh has beeu made throughout the county, but no arrest haB been made, Tnis is truly a severe Iobs to Colonel How ard 88 well as the State of Georgia, as we are informed patties who have con viots employed ore required by law to pay the sum of $200 for tne esoape of each prisoner, unless sufficient proof can be obtained that their escape was unavoid able. Wo are informed that two of the ne groes who cncaped in passing through the county, oame to the honse of Mr. J. T. Monk, and begged from some of the fam ily a few mouthfuls of bread, and after wards stole two pairs of pants and a few other articles.

Veto No. 3. The telogramr bring ns a synopsis of veto No. 3 It. is a document of arlic coolness. For while Mr. Hayes does not hesitate to charge that the object and design of tbis bill is to abolish the safe guards to fair elections, and tor partisan ends to invade and destroy &n honest ballot, ho studiously ignores the lasts that these laws have gone far to place the elections in the hands of the most notorious, unscrupulous and corrnpt partisans, and that the record of their practical operation is proven to be ono of almost nnmixed and unmitigated fraud. He would havo tha country be lieve the Democrats of Congress fall of the moBt sinister and iniquitous purposes, and Johnny Davenport and other super- visers like him, armed with these acta of Congress, are guardian angels of the ballot. The message amounts to a gross insult to Congress. As to the constitutional argument ot the mes3age, it is sufficient to say that never, until it beoame necessary to get ‘outside the Constitution,” in ordsr to deal with eubjugated States and can- quered peoples, wessaoh asoheme as s general supervision of the polls centraliz ing in Washington thought of. It is an idea spawned in the festering heat end oorinptlon and tyranny of civil war, pub lio disorder and a carnival ot pnblio plun der. It belongs to the darkest era of the Espublio, and most perish with the restor ation of the ancient ideas of civil liberty and Lori self-government. Hayes eoents extreme danger to a free ballot under the protection ot thirty eight States—edministered by differing politi cal parties—having differing interests and views, and each more or Isss a check upon the other. The very olatlor about local eleotion frauds, whioh now fills the papers, shows how closely these flutes and parties watch eaoh other, and what a restraining Influence they exert. It may be wholly impossible to prevent all frauds under lha system of State control, bnt the experibcos of the country for nearly a hundred yeaxs never suggested the change which the Bidtoals have made and seek to perpe:nate t until they determined to practically abolish free eleotions and es tablish a Federal control of tbe ballot, which should enable them to perpetuate their control of the government. But while Hayes sees awful danger in a control cf tbeir elections by each of the thirty-eight States lot itself, he is able to see only safety in the manipula tion of these elections by half a score of radioal partisans plotting for themselreB and party in a baok room in Washington Ciiy, and holding at that finger-endB the civil, military, financial, legislative, ju dicial and executive power of the United States—substantially controlling the mail transportation and post-offices, and all other publio offices—wielding at their command a hundred thousand office-hold ers—spending three hundred millions yearly, and holding in tbeir hands to large a port of the means of popular ben trol -hat bnt little seems to be left. Not Nd 1 Hayes is aot able to Bee dan ger in putting the elections in the States under au:h control as this. The parti- tans who wield all this power have oeaaed Examinations ot the . Eowis High School, It will be remembered that this insti tution was destroyed by fire several years since, but fortunately, by tbo aid of the insurance money and some assistance re ceived from other sources, tho building has been rebuilt and is now an ornament to the city. The second story L used as a hall of worship tor tho First Congre gational Church (colored), of which Bev. Stanley E. Lit hr op is paster. The apartment is commodious, and elegantly finished and furnished, and Mr. Lathrop is a devout ruau, whose whole heart seems to be in the work of the gospel ministry. The lower room is appropri ated to the Lewis High School. This seminary was founded in 1863, and is conducted under the auspices of the American Missionary Association. Tbe managers say: - Its object is to give moro advanced in struction than con be fonnd in the pnblio colored schools; to train young men and women tor teachers, acd to prepare those who wish tor a still higher course of study in Atlanta or any other univereity The number of students for 1878-79 is 88, of whom however, about 20 are at present engaged in teaching. The school is under tho immediate charge of Miss Christine H. Gilbert, Principal, and Mies Hattie E. Phelps as her assistant. After listening patiently to the eliminations of their pupils in arithmetic, geography, etc., and seeing them drilled by note in-vocal music, we do not hesitate to say that both of these ladies are highly competent for the dis charge of their duties, and their deport mentis unexceptionable. Indeed they possess a rare facility tor imparting knowledge, and have evidently been thoroughly trained themselves. Saoh of tho rcoitationB and compositions of the pnpils as we beard rendered, were very oreditable, and the writer never saw a more quiet and betcer behaved collec tion of children. Tha Lewis High Sohool is a blessing to the oolored oommunity, and we trust will be well sustained and pa»ron ; zid. in some mysterious and unaccountable 'way to be partisans. They have no in terest that the people shall vote to keep them in offioe, but only that the ballot shallbefreel The danger comes from partisans who hayo no power to reward or punish and from thirly-eight States who differ from each other in respset to the objects to be secured 1 With such stuff as this Hayss and hia Cabinet insult the common .. use of the country, and now coma before it with the distinct issue that the Federal gov ernment shall take charge of the ballot in the States. Do the people realizs the momentous character of the Question ? Who ts Judge J. II. Araow, Can didate tor Judge ol the Bruns wick Circuit? Editors Telegraph A Messenger—When- .ever a person seeks office, it is right and iroper that the pnblio should know who he s, and t ash a small portion of your space to ssy that Judge J. W. Amow was born in St. Mary’s, Georgia. September 29th, 1835, and is at present a resident of the home of his birth and is Mayor of tha city and Judge of the County Court. From 1857 to 1869, he was a resident of Florida, which time embraces the war period or his life Ab the war record of men is generally con sidered in connection with aspirations for office, I will say that Gen J. J. Dickinson, nuw Adjutant-General ot tho - tatu can bear testimony of his nob:e nearing as a soldier in tbe ranks and as a citizrn. Geu. Dickinson never lost a battle daring tbe w«r and to in belongs the chier credit of saving East Fiori la daring the war. HU family resided a- Gainesville, Fia., where Mr Arnow lived during the war During that time the General and Mr. A. were often together in and cut of the field and were much devoted to each other. Most of the time Mr. A. was a member of Oapt. F. B. Dudle 1 ’e company. He was also 8ta a Sena tor and editor of tbe Cotton States, the lead ing paper of East Florida, and no man ever bred in a seo ion of country who was more beloved than Mr, A. for bis conduct, h s zeal in the cause and his kindness to all persons. Snob men as Gov. Ferry, Gov. Milt- n, Jncga Forward, of the Superior Court, Judge T. F King, Col- Charles F Cooper, sstives of Georgia and many other citizsna occupying very high and respoi eible places took him i to their cuunsris and were fast friends of his. Judge Arnow has had a splendid training and is well qualified to fill nearly any posi tion with honor and he his a puro character as the great foundation to stand upon. He has corn in tbe practioe of law since 1859, just twenty yesrs and a man of very clear, ogical and legal mind. He is a persen of great force of ouaraoter, being fall of enngy and zeal. He is loll of tact as well ae talents and withal is remarkably modest. Few men, it any, are his superiors in moral and physi cal ooursge. He has great nerve and I be lieve that ha would boldly go to the stake before he would yield a principle of right. Ho ia strictly moral iu hia eportment and as Judge would exert a fine moral influence Some of bis law speeches have been con sidered abler than anv he ever delivered in the Senate.

Tbe New Remedy for Neuralgia The Paris correspondent of the Boston Courier, referring to his recoveiy from dangerous illness, eays: I mention this illness that I may tell you how easily I was cured. I was bent double. I conld not breathe. My phy. sipian ordered me to take a flat-iron and heat it as hot 03 I could bear, put a double fold of flannel on the painful part, and move the iron to and fro on the flannel. I was cured by enchantment. My doctor told me that eome time since a professor in one of our colleges, after suffering some days with neuralgia in the head, which he himself had tried to care, sent tor tho former, who prescribed a hot flat-iren. The next time the doctor saw the professor the latter exclaimed, “I had no sooner applied the heated iron to my head than instantly all pain had vanished.” My physician was summoned recently to the bedside of a woman who had neural gia in both sides, and eo violent that she alarmed tte whole neighborhood by-the screams which her intolerable anguish wrung from her. She was taken from her bed and borne near the fire. In such severe cases a heated iron is not energetic enough. He has an iron rod fastened to au ivory handle. He heats this rod to a white heat (which causes less pain than a red heat) and applies it very slightly to the eeat of tbe pair, first in longitudi. nal, and then in ladiludinal lines. The application is so slight that no trace is left bnt red lines on $ie epidermis, which are soon effaced. In twenty minutes the woman walked back to bed, and the third day afterward quitted It, entirely freed from neuralgia. This instrument is not to be intrusted to awkward hands. True Inwardness ot tbe Nrgro Exodus. Curs best, Ga., May £8,1870. Editors Telegraph A Mwaangnr—The an nouncement in the press dispatches yester day that President .Hayes opposes the negro exodus, so much written about and so Utile understood of late, is only ono ol the steps in an undertaking, but hopeless, coup de main, to ho:d political power m tbe Union by the atoh leaders of the Bepublioan party. And again the unfortunate negro ia to be the aupplient tool and sufferer. The grand idea of the BepublicanB was universal suffrage for the negro and pro; ecription to white men, so as to secure the vote or the houthsrn States by the votee of negroes, carpetbaggers and scalawags. Ex penses has demonstrated to them what we knew at fir.t—that iu the face of the Anglo- Satxen of the South, h.s former master— the African ia an unreliable politioal ma chine when the management comes from another part of ths Union. Of course it is hopeless where the whites are in the ma» jery. And they have found that the whites can carry elections even wb re the black voters are in the ascendency, ffbsy do not wish n:w to expend their money on carpet baggers and scalawags, and negro speakers ie the vain hops of electoral votes in the South. For they know as wed aa we do, that these States will vote for the Democratio candidate tor President and elect Senators and Bepresentatives to Congress thst art Democratic, or who will, when eleoted, act With the party in Congress. If every negro voter in the South waio re moved to Africs, it wonld ha no rou to the Bepublioan party ia the count of the eleo- torial college. But In ths North—the States that have the balance of power between the certainly Bepublioan States and the solid Eoulb, are to be the bittlo field in 1889, and a negro whose vote to noeleea in Georgia, will coant aa much as a truly loyal white in that struggle. Tbe exodus means the transfer of enough negro voters from the warm and genial South where the negro is aoolimstod and has all the true friends among white people ho ever bad ox over will have, to tits oofd and inhospitable North to perish and die out, simply to torn tha scale ia • Presidential election.

THE GENUINE DK.C.McLANE’S CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS FOR THE CURE OF Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint, DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE. Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. _ P \IN in the right side, under tho 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 an 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 he is satisfied that exercise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely- “ summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts ever}’ remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the 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 ••vdvise 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- equoled. BEWARE OT IMITATIONS.
