Washington, June 5.—The Senate, by
yeas 28, nays 19, took up the bill report
ed yesterday by Mr. Bayard, from tne
Judiciary Committee, relating to juries
and to tho repeal of sections 801, 820
and 821 of tho Bovised Statutes.
Mr. Hampton, of South Carolina, after
briefly supporting tbis bill, proceeded to
speak upon the general political issues of
the session.
More than an hour was consumed this
morning in consideration of bills reported
from the committee on shipping. A bill
for the election cl a Congressional printer
was reported bat not admitted, the point
of order being raised against it tbat it
was not euih a bill as a committee was
privil-ged to report at any time.
Mr. Atkina reported the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation bill
erri.iiviivJ.rhec Ml be printed end re-
Ilawiey offered an amendment to the
motion iuttruclmg tho committee on ap
propriations to report the bill substan
tially in the form of the legislative ap
propriation bill 1 iSt agreed to, excluding
therefrom all general political legislation
and all appropriations for judicial expen
ses. Atkins, therefore, withdrew the
bill. Tho House then resumed the baa.
iness of tbe morning hour.
Tho President eent to the Senate the
nomination of Simon B. Conover, of Flor
ida, to be collector of internal revenue in
the distriot of Florida.
Washington, Jane 5.—In tbe Senate
Senator Hampton said be oonld not claim
to speak as the leader of his party, nor
would be try to shield himself from the
consequences of his actions behind any
party ; if the polloy supported by him
was revolutionary and treasonable, he was
a revolutionist and a traitor. Bat what
polioy before Congress is worthy of Guob
a charge ? Continuing, Hampton said :
By no voto of mine will appropriations
necessary for the efGaient maintenance of
the army be refused. It is competent
for Congress to declare under what limi
tations and conditions appropriations
shall be made. The form in which this
is done I regard as immaterial. In my
judgment it would have been best to ad
here to tbe general form, bat to eeoare
unanimity, I shall acquiesce iu tbe deci
sions of tbe majority; bnt in no event can
I consent to aid in disbanding tho army
or impairing its «fficienoy. It is :he army
of the South as well as of the N nth. It
is the army of the Jwholo country.
From the days of the Revolution, I
have some reasen, by right of my birth and
blood to be prond of it. In the late civil
contest on many bloody fields I tested its
valor, asd no word or aot of mine shall
depreciate its valor or lessen its useful
ness. Bnt, because I so regard it, no
act of mine shall tend to degrade it. I
will not so legislate that against its own
honorable instincts snd traditions, it
■hall be an instrument of tyranny in tbe
hands of any factious party or any un
scrupulous cxmotive who may desire it.
Nor shall I assent, because of auy differ
ence* of opinion between the minority
and majority, to close the courts of jus
tice or embarrate tbe life of the govern
ment. The constitution has provided
means by which an appeal to the country
con be bad, and it is for the people
to decide whether the Presidential veto
has been wieely used to defeat tbe will
of Congress, which represents tho major
lty of the people.
Mr. Hampton proceeded to say he bad
no intention to embarrass the adminis
tration, and, although he considered the
provision of tbe bill jaat, be reoogniz’d
the difficulty of the position in which
tbe executive found himself. Hr. Hamp
ton’s people remembered that in the crit
ical period of their history, when any
injudicious action would have been fatal,
the President by a conscientious con
struction of bis duty, removed the
United States troops from Louisiana and
South Carolina, thus enabling the people
to restore their local government to those
who represented the popular will. For
this wise, patriotio actioa he was grate
ful, and while it would be his duly to op
pose the policy of which the President
was the representative, that opposition
would not be captious, nor eucn as to
drive the President into a coalition with
those wbo would madly trample on the
rights of the people in their straggle to
retain power.
Hr. Hampton e&id kn party was de
nounced for wishing to restrict the fed
eral nse of troops, but men high in the
Republican party, wkcee words he quo
ted, bad also pointed out snd denounced
the danger and abases of snob nse.
It wsb not tbe immediate action of
the army tbat he feared, but the
ultimate effeot of its misuse, and be
wonld oppose any legislation giving the
general government power to interfere
in any way with elections; better have
turbulence in one or two great cities,
than military despotism in the whole
country. It has been complained tbat
Confederate officers were Bent here os
legislators. Nearly every man in the
South bore arms, and she could hardly
be blamed? for trusting her interests in
peace to those who risked their lives
and fortunes for her in war. Hs thought
if the North hai honored in liko man-
ner those who fought her bit
ties, the legislation of the coun
try wonld not be embittered by the
revirslof eectional strife. If tho North
was sincere in inviting the Southern
States to return to the Union, she should
be glad they eent their best, most hon
ored men to represent them. The South
had no apology to make for the paBt, and
to recall that paBt now is not in the in
terest of that harmony for which the
country longs. The South asks to bare
stricken from the statute books the laws
which are the product of distrust, as
much as were the armies and navies. If
yon asked us to coma back as States
treat us as States—join hands with ns
to establish national liberty, as under
stood by bur fathers.
Hampton’s address aroused frequent
applause in the galleries.
Bayard then spoke at length in eup-
port of the bill. He condemned the ac
tion of the President in oriticizing as ho
had done in the veto message, the meth
od and practices of Congress, and said it
was not incumbent upon the President
to interest himself in parliamentary re
form. He then referred to the Federal
jury laws, explained their working, and
pointed out tho absurdity of allowing ex-
Oonfederates to hold the highest offices
under the government, and at tho same
time excluding them from lhe jury box.
The present bill, he said, was framed to
secure perfect impartiality in the forma
tion of juries to try political cases, where
such impartiality ia of the greatest im
portance. He said tho veto power
was given tho President to pre
vent the passage of bad bills, through in-
advertanco or design. Such was not
tho ca3e with the presei l bill*.
They represent the sober second (nought
of the American people, and the people
will finally be called to pass judgment
npon the issue now raised. In the mean
time, the first duty of tho majority is to
supply everything needed for the support
of tne Government, but our daty is cot
to be taught us by a harassing obstruct
ive exeoative. It is an obligation resting
on us by virtue of our oaths.
Bayard then said the effort to misrep
resent tbe Democratio party by asserting
it intended to cripple tbe Government,
wonld be fatile.. He wonld not belong to
a parly adopting snoh a*course, bnt he
asked, “shall it be said | that a man acci
dentally and wrongfully vested wHh the
enormons powers which have accumula
ted around the executive office, shall suc
ceed ia placing tbe great party, with all
its patriotio objects and interests, in
the position of suspicion and doubt,
before their fellow countrymen? It
will require two to make that is
sue—it would be a false, dishonest and
untruthful attempt to slander his neigh
bors. The government shall be supplied
with everything needfnl for a vigorous
and just exercise of every constitutional
power, bat no obstructive executive, no
unfair political opponent, shall prevent
tho true or raise tho false issues between
us and our country.
Hr. Edmunds then moved to amend
the pending bill by adding a clause pro
hibiting the exclusion from tbe jury ser
vice in any State or Federal court of auy
dnlv qualified person, on account of race,
color, or previous umauu. .> «miuae.
This led to a half hnmorons colloquy be
tween Hill, of Georgia, and Oonkling,
and a short speech by tbe latter.
Thurman remarked that the gentleman
(Conkling,) had perhaps read of the cele
brated English etateman, who eaid he
acquired eloquence by speaking every
day and on every subject for tbe first
years of hi3 oireer, and was imitating
tbe latter’s example.
Afterdebite the amendment was re
jected.
Several other amendments were pro
posed and discussed in a desultory man
ner, and the Senate adjourned without
action on the bill.

The other day a muscular young fellow,
having an cd ir of in a stables about him,
entered a Dcuotc photographer'a estab

like to have abont one photograph taken,
bnt on learning the price he concluded to
invest m a tin-type. After taking his
seat in the chair he shat np one eye, drew
bis mouth around one side, stnok np bis
nose and patiently waited for tbe opera
tor, whoso astonishment oansed him to
explain:
“Good gracions! bnt yon don’t want to
look that way to get a picture. Nobody
will know yon from Bitting Bull.’'
“Yon go ahead,’’ was the reply.
“Do yon want me to tako snob a phiz
as that?”
“I do.”
The artist took it. It beat Sol Smith

isfactory to the sitter, who paid for it and
said:
“You seo, I had a sort of object in this.
Come hero from Allegan county six
months ago—encaged to a gal out there

“Bet what has that pictare got to

‘Lota—heaps t I’ve writ to her that I

The Parched Tongue.—Under this
rather starling heading, wo find an arti-
tide in Thursday’s Constitution which
gives a gloomy account of the scarcity of
water in our city. Oor respected con
temporary eaya
A gentleman from Macon remarked to
a representative of the Constitution yes
terday that the well npon his premises,
which ha3 always had in it from eight to
that a few days since, the bottom of his
water-backet was thumped oat by being
brought in contact with tbe rock at tbe
bottom of the well. This being so, it
can well be imagined that great difficulty
is sow being had to procure a sufficient
amount of water to supply the demand
It must be remembered that Maeon
has no water works with an endless sup-
ply ol water, and inconsequence the wells
and cisterns of the oity have to famish
all that is need. It is trne that there is
a spring near the gas works from which
water is distributed to many of tho resi
dences in tbe virinity by means of small
pipes. This spring, however, is small
and cannot supply a great many families.
Daring tbe last few days the water from
this spring has been turned into tbo pipes
at intervals so as to make it hold oot as
long ’as possible. The well diggers of
Macon hold that the scarcity is ocoarioned
by the long drought that bas existed, and
tbat if a heavy rain does not soon frit
the supply will bo diminished to a greater
extent yet. Some of tbe otizens have
bad tbe wells on tbeir premises dag deep
er, and this in a few instances brongbt
eligbt relief.
It is true that the supply of water
furnished by tbo several springe near
College hill has been partially cut off, and
some of the wells in tho city may have
failed. Bat there ia no general or serious
scarcity of water here, and every well
known to tho writer continues to yield
plentifully of its epirkling contents. Jus
now tho weather is quite dry, and rain
is needed for vegetable gardens and the
corn. Bnt as yet the drought cannot bo
called severe. Within a few weeks the
rainfall of ibis region bas been very
heavy, but tho supply far at least two
yeais past has fallen considerably short
of tho normal average.
OoBMonoN.—The Constitution says:
Oar esteemed oontomporary, tbe Maoon
Telegraph, , makes a mistake,In stating
that The Constitution is issuing an even
ing edition and in supposing that oar
mail edition for Maoon and Southwest
Gsorgia is intended to compete with oar
evening contemporary. The early edi
tion of The Constitutor, is complete with
the exception otf. what is known es the
“late” dispatches.
We gladly publish ihe above, and as.
■ore oor friends of the Constitution, that
nothing was farther from oar intention
than to misrepresent them in any way
whatever.
Wild Land Sales.—The Legislative
committee, with Hon. D, A. Bussell as
chairman, bas commenced its labors in
earnest at tho capitaL The other mem
bers are Hon. Louis Strickland, of Clinob,
Hon. P. D. Davis, of Baker, Hon. A. D.
Chandler, of Gainesville, and Hon. John
C. Maund, of Talbotton. The Post
MjE:
The committee called upon the Comp
troller General for the records and papers.
They also reoeived a report of the sub
committee relating to tho testimony
taken in several counties.
The committee wilt proceed at once
with their investigations, summoning
witnesses and taking testimony. They
will be in session until the meeting of
the Legislature in July, by which time
they expect to have ready an exhaustive
report. These gentlemen have some
faud work before them, judging from the
stacks of papers already on their table.
Ox t he same subject wo quote as follows
from the Dispatch:
The committee appointed as a sub-
committee to take testimony in South-
weet and Southern Georgia, consisting of
Senator Burnell and Representative*
Stricklani'. and Davis, have made their
report. It embraces the testimony of a
number of persona as to the manner of
the sales, the amount realized, the costs,
and the disposition of the surplus.
BAIRBRTDOa AND THOM AS VILLE.
Probably the heaviest fraud in connee-
ncction with the sale of wild lands was
the sale of the lots upon which Bain-
bridge and Thomasville now stand. Tho
committee have not yetflxsd the blame
upon any one, nor is there any blame at
tached to the Comptroller General.
It seems that in 1874 an execution is
sued from the United States Conrt in
Savannah against a man who did not own
enough land in Georgia ta dig bis grave
npon. This execution was levied upon
lots of land scattered all over South
Georgia and sold as that man’s property.
Among the lots was the ones npon which
these towns are located. They were all
eold in a lump, and brought the magnifi
cent sum of $375. They were bought
by a Mr. Germany, of New York, and he
sold half interest to Dr. Lott, of Georgia.
Dr. Lott then had the State of Georgia
tax fi fas transferred to him, and they
were again sold end bonght in by him
He declines to tell tbe committee how
much they coat him, what sheriff costs
and advertising fees he paid. After de
ducting the costs, he retained the surplus,
claiming it as tbe owner under the U. S.
Court fi. fa. sale. This is aB far as the
committee has investigated. They will
now begin to look into the sales of wild
lands in upper Georgia, investigating the
amonnt they sold for, the costa in each
case, and what became of tbe ampins.
The original owners say the surplus was
not paid to them, and bnt little of it has
found its way in the Treasury. The sher
iffs and the holders of the transferred
executions may be able to explain why
they have not settled with the State.

statistics, wbieh will prove interesting
to tbe bog raisers of Georgia. He says
“There was a decrease in tbe nnmber of
boga in Georgia from 1860 to 1870, of
morejthan 1,000,000. It ia assnmed by Dr.
Janes tbat 400,000,000 pounds of pork
and btoon ia oonaumed annually m Geor

one per cent, report most favorable for
the Berkshire, twenty-nine per oent. for
the Gntnes, twenty percent, for the Es
sex, - and nice per cent, tbo com-
mon stock. The average age of
hogs killed in Georgia ia eight
een months, the average weight 169
pounds. The’ average "•oat of pork raised
in Georgia In 1875wae 8$ cents. Eighty-
five per cent of correspondents with the
Agricultural Bureau report cholera tbe
most destructive disease among hogs.
Thirteen per cent report entire exemp.
tion from disease. Seventeen per oent.
of hogs in Georgia are lost by disease and
sixty-eight per cent are troubled by
thieves. Thirty-two per cent report no
trouble in this respect. Fifteen per
oent. of the hogB aro annually stolen or
unaccounted for. Thirty-seven per cent,
report thieves the principal obstacle to
hog raising in their counties, and sixty-
three per cent, report neglect, want of
food, improper management, etc. Eighty-
five per oent. report dark colored, and
eepeci&lly black hogs leu subject to mange
and other akin diseases than white hogs.”

Singular Circumstance.— 1 The same

Yesterday a gentleman in this city
desiring to have the bodies of two of hie
children who were bnried a nnmber of
years ago, removed from one section in
the cemetery to another, had the grave
in which both were interred, opened.
He expected to find nothing but the
coffinej but to his surprise the vault was
filled with a black moss, which had be
come thickly matted. It had also pene
trated the coflias and one of the bodies
was completely enveloped in it. The
vault was double bricked when built.

Macon, Ga., Jane 4th, 1879.
Editors Telegraph * Messenger—As ths
Legislature ia abont to convene, perhaps it
would be well to 0*11 their attention 10 the
Garnishment Laws of this State, whiob, in
the opinion of the writer, should be somo-
what changed in order to carry oat xnoro ef
fectually the wishes of the entire people.
As tho law now stands; our merchants are
powerless to enforce tbeir rights before tho
courts, and after famishing food for the
mechanio and hit family npon the promise
to pay at the end of the mouth, he is often
disappointed and forced to loose a claim for
which he has jnst paid tho caih, sad often,
too, by parties wbo are able to pay, bnt they
refuse to respond because it does not suit
their convenience. There are persons, and
numhors of them, getting a handsome sal*’-
S who stubbornly ref ase to pay their debts—
eir grocery, board and medical bills, sim
ply beoanse the lawdoes not provide areme-
dy to enforce tbeir collection. The writer
can call to mind persons who lavish all their
means npon an extravigant family and al
low their bills to go unpaid and even laugh
at the merchant and boarding-honse keep
ers after they have succeeded in getting all
the credit pcesible *
This is ono side of tbs pictnre. On the
other hand the mechanics say that it is hard
to garnishee their wages and deprive their
families of tho meat and bread they aro com
pelled to have to sustain life, and if yon
give the merchant the power he will nse it
recklessly and an utter dierogard to the
wants of the laboring class. Tins ia true to
a uuitwiu vAtnik —J 'tax asrj vplMlwia uvmli
law should exist, for I have seen the great
evil growing ont of this method. I have
seen instances where the poor meohanic was
stripped of his last dollar with no credit, no
friends and nothing to snpply the absolute
wants of his family. Now the question nat
urally arises how will you harmonize these
two powerful and influential classes in our
State. It u a grave question and demands
the attention of onr General Assembly. The
writer has looked mto ths laws of the dif
ferent States in order to find ont how thev
have been manipulated eo as to give gene
ral satisfaction. He finds that it varies in
different States. According to his opinion,
the Stateof To ntssee has adopted the right
plan. It provides a garnishment law and
a lows dotty, weekly and monthly wages of
a mechanic, day-laboror and joarnaman to
bo garnisheed for provisions famished him
self and family, and also for board, bat ex
pressly declares tbat the sum of thirty dol
lars per month shall be exempt from tho
prooess of garnishment and all over that
amount shall be applied to the payment of
the creditor’s demand. It seems to ms that
this is a good and wise law. It protqotathe
laborer to the amonnt of thirty dollars per
t&M&’lOq.Wsjfajjes, which gives.him somc-
merobsnts and boarding-honse keepers'to
collect what rightful y belongs to them—the
food wh'ch they famished the man while he
is striving to make a living for his family.
It is not right to allow parties getting from
one hundred to one hundred and fifty dol
lars per month to throw themselves behind
the protection granted them by tbo law and
say to the merchant: “ It is trae we havo
eaten your ptovialohe; it is also true your
bill iB correct and all right, bnt I will pay yon
when I get ready, as there is no law to make
me pay it. Now get it if yon oon.”
This is altogether wrong and very com
mon and let ns fix a way to protect tho mer
chant, and in enoh a manner as not to work
a hardship npon tho laborers. There are
m*r.y of the latter who pay their Just debts
snd aro anxious to eee jnstios done to all
classes, _ Justice.
lSDSt!8h Collieries.
The telegrams hint at a crisis in tho
collieries of Fouth Staffordshire. These,
like nearly all others in Great Britain,
have been worked to a great depth, end
are drained by gigantic maobinery, which
must be in ceaseless operation for that
purpose. This machinery, in tbe case
alluded to, 13 owned end worked by an
independent company, in whose favor
tho mines have accumulated a larje in
debtednee?, and the oompany, in conse
quence, have shut' down upon them. A
cessation of tbe pumping for any con
siderable length of timo wonld result is
an accumulation of water too vast to be
removed, while, on the other hand, jit
seems that the profits of the mining com
panies have not enabled them to square
the draihsge account. - {
We tuppose that not a few of tho ooAl,
iron, tin aid copper mining interests of
Great Britain are iu some ouch category
—once vast properties, but now, with the
increased cost of working and the sharper
competition of foreign metals, trembling
on the verge of insolvency, worthless
ness and final abandonment. It is pitiful
to sea such a crisis approaching, and to
know the case is remediless. The finan
cial and labor difficulties in the United
Kingdom-are, no donbt, in part attributa
ble to this condition. The mine owners
see no other revenue but to redace work
ing expenses—which means cut down
wagee. They can’t work the mines at
loss. But this recourse ia inadequate
and mnst- be increasingly ao in the ta-
tnro.
Cotton Hack.
The telegrams announce the indefinite
suspension of operations by a heavy con
cern near Baltimore for the manufact
ure of cotton duck, a fabric used mainly
for the satis of shipping, and, also largely
for tents and canopies. The suspension
is attributed to the rise in- the price of
tbe cotton fibre, of ’wbioh it ia -a great
consumer. Any important, advance in
cotton is pretty aura to check this manu
facture, because cotton duok ia then
brought into fatal conflict with similar
European fabrics of cheaper material.
This is only one of those coarser nses of
raw cotton, all of which fail when cotton
prices get above the point of cheapness,
or what is so considered.
Mr. Watlley’s Late Purchase.
We had the pleasure of meeting Col.
A. J. Lane a day or two aicoe, and re
ceived from him a very favorable report
of the condition of the growing crops.
Cotton chopping is generally over witb,
and the late dry weather has afforded
ample opportunity to a in: j >rity of onr
planters to dear oat the grass from their
fields. The wheat and oat harvest also is
progressing rapidly and snoeessfolly, and
the grain saved eo far. will, be in very
fine condition. JBsio, however, begins to
be Birionsly needed for the oorn, end (o
keep alive garden vegetables.
From the Colonel we gathered a few
{Beta concerning the late sale of the
Montgomery and Eufanla railroad. That
highway cost $30 000 per mile and waa
bonght for $26,000. It is in peifectwoTk-
ing order and justly regarded a very val
uable and paying piece of property. Col
Lane thinks the Oentral railroad will real,
izs, with ease, in net profits, at least
sevenper centum annually npon its invest
ment of $2,100,000. Besides the pur
chase was demanded by every considera
tion of pindenoe, and a proper regard for
tho interests of all the connections of
that immense thoroughfare.
He does not believe, however, that the
Lonisville, and Nashville line intend to
remain “bottled np” at Montgomery. In
regard to the nice snm of $100,000 re
ported to have been made by CoL Lane
in tho-transaction with Mr. Wadley, the
truth was enly partially stated. He did
realize that amount, but $120,000 was
dna him for cash expended iu the con
struction of the road.
Through trains from Macon to Mont
gomery will now be run regularly, and
the commercial relations of the two cities
will bn brought much nearer together
than heretofore.
Tbe Pittsburg Strike.
A Pittsburg correspondent to the New
York Herald reports a striking condition
idleness pervading that oity and the
neighboring city of Alleghany. The
strike of the pnddlers hss thrown about
forty thousand men out of employment.
About thirty mili3 refuse to concede the
demand of tbe etnkera, and it is stated
that twenty-five millions of capital will
bo idle. There iseomo uneasiness in
these cities: .but witb the exception of
one parade of two hundred strikers who
went round compelling those at work to
quit, there has been no sign of violence-
simply a Compositor’s Mistake.
The AmericnB Republican has been en
larged to nine columns and is an elegant
paper. It oonld be improved though,
by crediting the articles clipped from
this and other able journals.
We clip the above from the Gainesville

Messenger of Sunday, it is copied from
the Augusta Chronicle and Constitution
alist.
We find ths a loro in the Sumter Re-

Cutting Corn Tassels—The Effect
Upon its Yield.—A correspondent of
the Southern Cultivator wishes to know
whether the statement that “cutting off
the tassels of every alternate row of corn
as soon as it is in full bloom.” will increase
the yield, be true? The oditor aays iu
reply, he “can imagine no ’reason why
catting off tassels should increase the
crop and in absence of carefully con
ducted experiments, should withhold
assent. After the tassels are formed (in
fall bloom) neither the energy nor vital
ity nor food elements of the plant are
further taxed by them again.” This is
atriotiy tine if the tasstl bas indeed been
allowed to come to perfection and put
forth its wealth of pollen.
Bnt the writer distinctly remembers
when a resident of Liberty county, as
sisting bis father to remove the tassels
of every altercate row of a twenty acre
oorn field with the most obvious advan
tage afterwards to the yield of those par
ticular rows. But mark.. This was done
just when the tassel was “bunching’'
and abont to appear. Not after its ma
turity. Onr mode of proceeding was to
seize the whole bunoh and give it
A vigorous poll whioh brought it away,
together witb a foot of the ineboate stem,
in a soft and immature condition. This
oansed tbe stalk afterwards to look as
though it had never essayed to tassel at
all. But the pollen from tho intermedi
ate rows was amply sufficient to impreg
nate the whole field, and the resnlt was a
very deoided and peroeptible increase in
there zi and plumpness of the ears on ev
ery stalk that had been deprived of its
tassel. Subsequently, time and again, we
have repeated the expeziment, and always
with the aame beneficial result-
The fact is easy of explanation. All
the asp and energy requisite to’ shoot
forth aud sustain four feet of additional
■talk with its superadded foliage asd
blooms ia diverted into tho ear, or ears of
the coin thus treated, and almost doubles
their size and produstiTeneas.

patch of corn in this vicinity and repeat
the experiment, that those who doubt
its success may be fully convinced. , •

Immediately after the arrival of the birds

How Neab Gov. Colquitt Came to
Preaching in Beecher’s Pulpit.—A
special diepatoh to the Louisvilla Courier-
Journal is responsible for the following,
which we take to be a heavy draft on
fancy and the imagination:
New York, June 2.—When Governor
A. H. Colquitt, of Georgia, was in Brook
lyn on the 221 of May, the children’s an
niversary day, he went about from one
spot to auothor, viewing the gathered
armies of Sunday school children, end
visited, among other places, Flymouth
Church, where he was iatrodueed to Pas
toral Helper S. B. Halliday. As the Bar.
Henry Ward Beecher was to be absent ia
Montreal on the following Sunday, Mr.
Halliday asked Got. Colquitt to speak
from Plymouth Church pulpit in' the
evening to Mr. Beecher’s congrega
tiop, suggesting that the act would
have a good effeot in healiog up old
war difference?. Gov. Colquitt consen
ted and Mr. Halliday was happy, for
otherwise he would himself have had to
preach. Ths Governor, it appears, did
not take into consideration that his ap-
pearanoe in the pnipit wonld be deemed
a recognition of Henry Ward Beeoher
and might make the South a little hotter
for him on hie return home, so that, alter
thinking over the matter for twenty.fonr
hoars, he bseked out. In the meantime,
however, it became pretty well known
that he had consented to appear, and
there was mnoh rejoicing among Mr.
Sseoher’s friends. Ia is said that the
news was conveyed to Mr. Beecher in
Montreal and that he waa mnoh delighted.
Now’everybody wants to know why Gov.
Colquitt didn’t preaoh in Plymouth
pnipit.
The Southern Cultivator.—Hub fa
vorite Agricultural journal loBee nothing
in interest or value as it advances in
years. Indeed, liko old wine well refin
ed npon tho lees it seems to improve
with age. The Jnne nnmber should
reaoh the hands ol every farmer in the
State. It contains no less than forty-
eight short and pertinent articles cover
ing almost every concefvablo subject that
appertains to the’ husbandman.
How to oultivata the growing crop
and vegetable garden, the treatment of
orchards and vineyards, the manage
ment of stock, the rearing of poultry, the
diseases of domestio animals, tors go
glasses, fish culture, the relation of feed
and manure, farm wages, tine eeonomy,
the dairy, valuable recipes, admirable
miscellaneous reading and a great variety
of other matters worthy of consideration
are presented in terao bnt attractive
terms, showing the editor to be (as is
the fact,) at once a scholar, praoticsi ag
riculturist and philosopher.
The writer has known him from infan-
gft and brsidsa, we were associated^*
He is prepared therefore to say, (and
though bearing the same name there is
not the remotest tie of blood between ob),
that few men are equal in ezndition and
ability to Dr. Lewis Jones. His whole
life has been devoted to solenoe, whioh
he has deftly turned to praotioBl purpo
ses. Iu his hands the Southern Cultivator
is, and ought to bo, a powerful instru
ment for good, to tbs best interests of
the country. We trnst that it may con
tinue toinorease in oiroulation and pub
lic estimation.
Shad in Arkansas Waters.—Tho shad
is a fish with which the people in tbe
Gulf States have never had an opporta-
nity of cultivating an intimate acquain
tance, bat they are hoping to establish
oloee relations in the near future. Abont
seven years agoalotof little shad were
placed in the Ouachita river, which rises
up in Arkansas, flows down into Louisi
ana and empties into the Red river in tho
latter State. Nothing was seen of them
for a long while, and moat people -had
forgotten ail about the exoeriment, when
two years ago two or three etray shad,
>sx^ a i“met } i)ssf n oiP
tween thirty and forty were found, and
tbie spring they have been caught iu im
mense quantities up in Arkaasa?, in the
vicinity of Hot Springs. This ohows
tbat there is no reason why the fish
shonldnotbe domesticated in the far
South, end the New Orleans papers call
open the people along the nvers in that
region to stook them with yonng shad.
—Cholera in India Oholent has been
making fearful bavoo among the pilgrims re
taining from the Hard war fair, and is being
spread by them through northern India. It
is asserted that between 20.0C0 and 39.000
hilhqenfrom the Himalayan districts near
Nynee Tal died on their homeward journey.
Several cues, most of them fatal, appeared
among the Ff teenth Hussars almost imme
diately after their arrival at Meerut from
Cindohor, and it is supposed that tbe out
break ia due to some men having travelled
from Hooltan In railway carriages whioh had
been used by infected pilgrims. The disease
has appeared in most cities of the Punjab,
and the fear of the spread of the epidemic
toPeshawurhas induced ths suthoritieeto
remove tbe greater portion of the garrison
there. It it suggested that tha Government
might well consider whether itie not time to
put an entire atop to tboee great religious
fairs, seeing that they almoat invariably foim
centres whence peetllenos spread through
out the country, and that the effective eoni-
taxy control of the masses of pilgrims as-
eemblod is almost impossible.
