Utica, February 25.—During the roll
call several disputes arose between con
testing delegates from various paits of the
State,'and (here was much confusion and
wrangling over the appointments to the
committee on credentials. Stephens B.
French, of New York, nominated for tem
porary chairman, Hon. Charles E. Smith,
of Albany, which was received with ap
plause and was made unanimous. During
his remarks on taking the chair, allusion
to Grant, at Appomattox Court House,
was received with great applause. After
the transaction of a considerable routine
of business the convention took a recers
till 3:30 o'clock.
The convention has adopted a resolu
tion favoring the nomination of Grant.

A St. Petersburg dispatch to the Times
says: “There is a sense of uneasiness ob
servable in every direction, and while
there is great fear that something will
happen before the anniversary of the Em
peror's accession to the throne, there is
also a sell led idea that the Czar will pro
claim something new on that day.
The most important fact connected
with tiie latter expectation is that very
jinjxirtant State documents are in the
course of publication in the printing of
fice of the fourth section. A certain num
ber of trustworthy men have been work
ing at these papers for three weeks. The
contents of the papers are kept secret, and
in orilep that nothing shall leak out, the
printers are kept in charge of olficers un
der look and key.
This proves that something unusual is
being prepared, but as it was begun prior
to tiie explosion in the Winter palace,
that event may have somewhat changed
the government’s intentions.

New Ori.eans, Febraary 25.—In the
Senate to-day Mr. Cunningham rose to a
question ol privilege, and sent to the Sec
retary's desk and had read a copy of a
memorial address to the Senate and
House of Keprcsentativcs of Louisiana.
The memorial is in the interest of Mr.
Kellogg, and represents that extensive
frauds were perpetrated in the State elec
tion. and that consequently a majority of
the members of the present Legislature
Were elected and hold their office by un
lawful means. The memorial was read,
after which Mr. Cunningham said he con
sidered the memorial not only false and
slanderous, but so disrespectful to the
Senate that he desired action upon a reso
lution declaring in contempt Senators
Cohen, Denias, Stewart and Senr.ncs,
who had signed the same.' The resolu
tion was adopted. When Senators Co
hen, Denias, Stewart and Semmes were
arranged before the bar of the Senate, De-
ina> submitted a paper which he read de
claring that no contempt for the honorable
body was intended. The term Senator
w as affixed to the signatures merely as a
means of identification, and no disrespect
tp tiie Senate was intended, Further ac-

San Francisco, Febraary 26.—Many
persons who have been supporters of the
anti-Cliinesc movement, hut whose busi
ness interests have been seriously injured
by the reactionary effect of a serious agi
tation in this city, as well as others, fre
quently express the sentiment that rather
than suffer a continuance _ of the evil re
sults of the protracted agitation it would
be preterable to have it out at once for all,
and the sooner the better. The leaders of
the workingmen evidently have no desire
to precipitate a conflict, and their action
yesterday indicates that their policy is
rather to keep the agitation just at such a
point as falls short of violence yet is suffi
ciently threatening to induce an acquies
cence in their desires. This line of action
is dangerous in view of the excited state
ot the public mind and may result in pro
voking the other side into some action that
will bring about a collision. Indeed,
that perhaps, at present, is the greatest
source of danger.
The Ninth ward Workingmen’s Protec
tive club met last evening and organized
a military company, twenty-two men
signing the roll. Some very hot speeches
were made at the meeting of ward presi
dents yesterday afternoon previously re
ferred to. Sheriff Desmond, elected by
the Workingmen, signified his intention to
support them in their movement. The
ward Presidents recommended that their
seven clubs hold executive sessions to
consider the pending question and pledg
ed the entire party to support the mayor
and authorities in carrying out the law.
Tiie Eleventh ward club, which was
the theatro of Kearney’s extraordinary
oratorical efforts Tuesday night, met last

Around police headquarters everything is

San Francisco, Febraary 26.—The
ward presidents, Mayor Kalloch, and agi
tators, held a meeting at their headquar
ters, and passed a series of resolutions de
nouncing the increase of the police force,
and the efforts making to resist the
execution of the demolition of China
town.
The resolutions give notice from that on
the perpetration of any outrage upon the
workingmen’s party, or the employment
of force to interfere with the peaceful
abatement of Chinatown, a nuisance, all
are ready to assert and maintain our
rights, aud visit upon those interfering,
punishment so swift and terrible that the
reader of history will shudder at the rec
ord. Mayor Kalloch approved of the
resolutions, but recommended a cessation
of processions for a few days, as they in
terfere with the plans for providing work
for the unemployed. The Chamber of
Commerce has decided to raise funds to
employ several hundred men on the sea
wall, at one dollar per day.

in pursuit. The Indians were well mount-

among the masses of the Republican

to predict twenty-four hours ago.

New York, February 26.—A Dublin
special says the correspondent on her
Majesty’s gunboat, Goshawk, which is
distributing meal among the Western Isl
ands, writes from Iunisbark off Galway,
as follows: It is a terrible state of affairs.
Fifty families here eke out a miserable
existence. Their homes are small heaps
of dirty stones. Their land is rock and
soft bog. Hunger and want are every
where visible. The people go naked and
without food. Many are slowly starving
to death. Such scenes of appalling desti
tution I never before witnessed. The
more we saw the more certain did death
from starvation appear the inevitable fate
of nearly every man, woman and child on
the island. In many cabins the children
crouched shiveriug and almost naked
around the fire. When I entered, they
sprang behind their mother, whose single
garment, a thin dress, was but slight pro
tection against the wind, which blew
through the brokeu roof. On the fire was
dinner, a heavy pot of brown green sea
weed. The same correspondent writes
from Innislioffin concerning the shocking
maladministration on the part of the offi
cials there. The Government dispensary
office has no drugs, and the relieving of
ficer no food.

Call this morning says a secret meeting of
citizens was held in the Palace Hotel last
evening to organize a vigilance committee
for the suppression of any riot which may
break out as the result of the labor agita
tion.
San Francisco, February 26.—There
was no parade of working men to-day and
the meeting at the Sand Lots was com
paratively tame. A meeting of merchants
was held inis otvomoon to hear the report
of the committee appointed u» re
lief measures. The committee stated that
since the last meeting the incendiary lan
guage of the agitators had put the mercan
tile community in a frame of mind in
which it would be of little use to ap
proach them for contributions. Consid
erable inquiry to-day among gentlemen
supposed to be interested in the reported
vigilance committee movement failed to
draw out any direct information on the
subject, but there is good reason to be
lieve that the report is well founded and
that a thorough organization exists.
London, February 26.—A Paris dis
patch to the Times says the inhabitants of
St. Petersburg are beginning to attribute
the recent Nihilistic crimes and menaces
to the students and threaten that if any
criminal act is done on the twenty-fifth
anniversary of the Emperor’s accession to
the throne, they will bum down the uni
versity and lynch every student who falls
into their hands. The government is now
forced therefore to take measures for the
prot ection of the students.
St. Petersbtrg, Febraary 26.—The
office of the Governor General of St. Pe
tersburg has been abolished and the mu
nicipal power vested in the commission of
supreme control under independent direc
tion oi Lovis Mclikofl? Energetic meas
ures will be taken against the revolution

confirms previous indications that the pre
sent crisis will not be made a pretext for
increased repressive measures.

It is stated by the Winterville corres

guests. Recently the grounds adjacent to
the fall have been cleared of all under
growth, and a park neatly laid out, which
will be dotted over with summer houses,
convenient seats, benches, etc. The
whole has been inclosed with a wire
fence. The falls is about 3,000 feet above

very heavy calamity befell one of our
cleverest and most enterprising citizens—
Mr. E. B. Brown. He was absent from
home, having gone to Milledgeville on
business. His wife had gone to make a
short visit to a near neighbor; so that ho
person was left in the house. There was
but little fire in the fire place, and it is a
matter for conjecture how the house could
have taken fire. The fire was first dis
covered by parties living on the place,
only after it had got such headway as to
be utterly beyond control. The fire
spread rapidly and was spent only after it
had consumed everything within its reach.
The dwelling house and all the furniture,
two corn-cribs, containing about 300bush
els of com, two smaller cribs filled with
forage, a workshop and most of the tools
were destroyed by the remorseless ele
ment. It is a very sad affair. Mr. Brown

At 12:45 tiie House, having dispensed
with the morning hour, went into com
mittee of the whole on the star service
deficiency bill.
Mr. Page, of California, opposed the
bill oil the ground that it favoring some
sections of the South at the expense of the
■^Vest. The service had been increased,
he said, on nineteen routes in the Second
Georgia District, not one of which this
bill would touch, while it struck at one
hundred and seven routes in the West.
After considerable discussion, Mr. Ba
ker, of Indiana, in behalf of the Appro
priations Committee, submitted as a sub
stitutc for the whole bill a bill the first
section of Jwhicli appropriates nine hun
dred and seventy thousand dollars for in
land star routes during the remainder of
the current fiscal year at contract prices
existing Febraary first, I860, providing
that increased compensation in excess of
twenty-five hundred dollars on any route
for expediting of service on any route.
After a long debate, Mr. Page, of Califor
nia, moved to strike the provjso out of Hie
pending bill, so as to make it appropriate
whatever amount shall be necessary for
the star service during the remainder of
the fiscal year at or within the existing
contract prices; yeas, eighty; nays one
hundred and nineteen.
Mr. Blount, of Georgia, moved as a
substitute for the first section of the pend
ing bill, the corresponding section of Ba
ker’s bill introduced to-day, (summarized
above.) Agreed to. Mr. Blount then
moved to amend the second section of the
bill by striking out the appropriation of
one hundred thousand dbtlars to increase
the service on existing routes. Agreed
to. The committee then rose and repor
ted the bill to the house, and it was
passed. Adjourned.

Death of Judge J. H. Jones.—Grif
fin News: Nearly two years ago Judge J.
H. Jones, of Twiggs county, moved with
his family to this city, where he has since
engaged in the practice of law. Ho left
his old home on account of ill health, hop
ing for a new lease on life amid the
healthful lulls of Middle Georgia. Last
fall, during a visit to Twiggs county, he
was attacked with the fell disease that
had long threatened him, consumption,-
and since his return he had been gradual
ly but noticeably failing. For several
weeks past it became evident that his end
was drawing near, though until a few
days he was on the street daily. Friday
afternoon he returned home and took life
bed from which he never rose. He died
yesterday at noon. He was attended in
his last hours by his family, his two broth
els from Twiggs, and his brother-in-law,
Representative Dupree, of Twiggs county.
The body was conveyed last night to
Twiggs county, where he will be in
terred.
. The deceased was a man of more than
ordinary intelligence and talent, and was
for many years a prominent citizen of his
native county.
Oglethorpe Echo: While in Elbert

thing about them was in such perfect re

near the Glade in this county, his son and
son-in-law. Mr. F. is of French descent,
and farms after the maimer of that coun

The Panama CanaL
The arrival of DeLesseps has set on
foot an active verbal and newspaper dis
cussion of his project. Admiral Ammen
Pron°“- -«>.s the whole scheme a burlesque

to be literally prepo*^^ Using ^
valley of the Chagres river in
for the route of tho canal, and even a con
siderable portion of the bed of the river
as the canal line, and attempting to pro
vide against wash and overflow by dams
and reservoirs is utterly wild. That river
frequently rises forty to fifty feet in the
course of two hours. The rainfall of the
valley amouuts annually to 100 inches,
and the river itself becomes in these rains
a raging mountain torrent, sweeping
down its channel with irresistible fury,
No practicable human engineering, ac
cording to the admiral, can withstand the
enormous pressure and accumulation.
Tiie Panama Star and Herald, of a late
date, states the result of the recent sur
veys as follows:
“The canal route has been thoroughly
studied, its difficulties investigated and
practical plans laid foe their successful
treatment. The material is obtained for
the settlement of all disputes as to quan
tities, cost, etc., and manyj prejudices in
tho minds of some of the members of the
commission removed as to the practica
bility of the tide level canal. The whole
work, including every eventuality, is set
down at 843,000,000 francs, or §186,000,-
000. Complementary studies still going
on will reduce these figures, it is believed,
and several members of the commission
believe that the entire enterprise will not
involve an outlay of more than 5150,000,-
000. The time allowed for the work is
ight years.”
DeLesseps is now in Washington, with
a view, as we suppose, of first quieting
the political and topical objections to his
route, and preventing any action of Con
gress which may create or strengthen pub
lic distrust. It is hardly doubtful that
any decided action in Congress against
the project will kill it, both in this coun
try and in Europe. The enormous capi
tal stock required cannot be secured in
any part of the world against a decided
disapprobation or distrust expressed by
Congress.
The Irish Famine.
According to the Her aid's telegram
from Ireland, the distress there is daily
increasing. Actual starvation is only kept
under buy the excellent machinery for
distribution controlled by the several com
mittees which have the funds in charge.
In Donegal the number of distressed re
ceiving relief has increased to sixty-six
thousand. In county Mayo, since the
Herald’s first report, two weeks ago, the
increase in the number of destitute per
sons has been nearly twenty-five thousand.
The fear is general that the greatest dis
tress has not yet been reached. The time
which is most dreaded is that between the
middle of May and the middle of July—
the time, in other words, between the com
ing up of the potato crop and its maturing
for the table. Tiie government relief,
though liberal, does not appear to be so
managed as to extend its benefits to the
most destitute and afflicted. The works
are given out to contractors who cannot be
compelled, and who therefore will not
employ the untrained and famine-weaken
ed poor, but only able-bodied men capa
ble of earning their wages. Some letters
which the Herald prints are full of afflict
ing details. One of these letters reports
three hundred families in a singfe parish
on the bnnk of starvation, aud nothing to
give them. Wc have heard of letters re
ceived in this city by gentlemen having
connections in the West of Ireland which
tell Fully as grievous a tale. The demand
for relief is incessant, urgent and most
mournful, and it rests upon an almost uni
versal distress which no spasmodic efforts
seem to be capable of reaching.
Central Railroad Stock on the Ram-
paere.
Yesterday, Central railroad stock vault
ed up to one hundred and five with an ex
cited market, and many predict it will
reach one hundred and ten in a week.
Every one looks wonderinglyon, but the
explanation of this astonishing rise has yet
to be made. The most probable solution
of the matter, however, consists in the re
liable information that within a brief pe
riod four thousand shares, representing
four hundred thousand dollars of stock
held in Georgia, have changed hands and
found their way to New York. This looks
ominous and seems to indicate that East
ern capitalists or some of the big railway
combinations, perhaps the Louisville
and Nashville, are bent upon pur
chasing, regardless of cost, a controlling in
terest in Savannah’s great internal business
artery. The stock of the company, fortu
nately however, is scattered in small
quantities all over the State, and is owned
by our own people. It is, therefore, difficult,
perhaps impossible, to gather together and
purchase a sufficient amount to control
the future management of the road.
As a Georgian, wc ardently trust that
neither the Central, Georgia, or any other
railroad in this Commonwealth, which
has been constructed by the enterprise
and funds of our citizens, will ever go
into aliep hands. Let us hold fast to our.
own institutions aud operate them as best
reporter. That gentleman said:
“It is true that we demand the road,
and we liavo presented our demand to the
Governor.”
“What is the history of the transac
tion?”
“It is simply this. When I was in New
York a faw days ago I received an official
notification from the governor that the
highest bidder for the road had not com
plied with the terms of the lease; that tiie
time allowed by law had expired—and he
notified me ‘as the next highest bidder 5 of
these facts. On this official notification I
wrote the Governor at once that I had re-,
reived his letter and would take posses
sion of the road without unnecessary de
lay. Shortly after this I met Governor
Colquitt in the Fifth avenue hotel with
Mr. Tuggle, and I invited him to my
room, where I made him a tender of the
first payment. In the meantime Iliad
learned that he was in Washington, and
telegraphed him there the substance of
my letter to Atlanta.
Governor Colquitt then informed me
that he had reopened negotiations with
the highest bidders, whose time, as he had
already officially notified me, had expired,
and said he coaid not treat with me until
he had seen them further. After a day or
two of discussion I learned that he had
consented to an arrangement with a party
of New York gentlemen who were never
bidders for the road and with whom the
Governor had no sort of right to treat, as
I am satisfied he will discover upon inves
tigation.
“Was your company ready to take the
road?”
“ We were. We had consulted Judge
Hopkins, and he had given us an opinion
en which we determined to pay tho money.
good oneT’ 7 * 0 ' 1 a strons company and a
“ What do you propose ». p >>
- “ We have filed a paper witn ^ q ov _
eraor demanding the road through Juu & .
Hopkins. I will say further that we have
a clear legal, equitable and moral right to
the road, and we propose to insist on our
rights.”
“Will you proceed against the new
company 9”
I do not admit that there is any other
legal company, and therefore do not care
to talk abontthat matter. It is enough to
say that we have the only right to the
road and we shall insist on it. There is
no doubt of our rights. We know that
Governor Colquitt will enforce the law as
he construes it. He has already consul
ted Judge Bleckley on this matter. He
referred the matter of the deed to him.
Now I propose to the Governor that we
will submit our rights under this case to
Judge Bleckley,who is his chosen legal ad
viser, without argument. If he does not
decide that our right is perfect and com
plete, I will agree to give way without a
word.
You must remember one thing. I have
been a legitimate bidder all the time.
The other company is an entirely new
one, aud is not the company that made
the highest bid. The name of that com
pany was the two Vibbards, Wheeler and
Green. They have all retired and drawn
out. 'The company purchasing is a new
company, and one that was not represent
ed at the sale at all.
“If you get the road will you build at
once?”
“We will. From the very moment of
my first appearance in Macon as a bidder,
in November, we have been prepared, in
every sense of the word, to comply with
the letter and spirit of the law. And we
are ready now.”
We attach not the slightest importance
to the above rather sensational reading,
and opine that the Governor knows what
he is about. It would be silly to suppose
that his trip to New York, and subsequent
renewal of negotiations with the late con
tracting parties, was done without able
and competent advice in the premises.
Doubtless every step was taken after due
and weighty deliberation, and the Gov
ernor will show that his position is legally
impregnable.
It should be borne in mind that the les
sees came squarely up to taw in the exact
terms of the law, and the bargain was on
ly frustrated by the State refusing to
make, what they had a right to demand,
good titles to the purchased property.
And though hi3 Excellency did tender the
road after the supposed failure of the sale,
to the next highest bidders, Messrs. Kim
ball & Company, it was done under the
belief that the trade had fallen finally
through. Once convinced, however (as
the laehese had been on the part of the
State), that it could be satisfactorily res
urrected and accomplished, he felt it his
duty to carry out the transaction in good
faith. Had the failure in the end proved
final, then the Governor, though we differ
with him on this point, would undoubt
edly have carried out liis alleged promise
and turned over the road, as requested, to
Mr. Kimball. /:
That gentleman makes one very glar
ing error, however, in the statement we
have copied, when he says the Company
who Governor Colquitt is in treaty with,
“is an entirely new one, and is not the
Company that made the highest bid.
The name of that Company was the two
Vibbards, Wheeler and Green. They
have all retired and drawn out. The
Company purchasing is a new Company,
and one that was not represented at the
sale at all.”
So far from this being true, Mr. Couper,
who bid off the lease, and Messrs. George
H. Eazleliurst and A. J. Lane, who joints
ly made up the ten thousand dollars earn
est money, and paid that stun over to the
Governor, were then, and are now, active
members of the Company with Whom the
Govempr has concluded the purchase.
In conclusion, we cannot think that any
serious delay will result from the claim of
Mr. Kimball to the road, and do not be
lieve that he stands the least chance of
being sustained by the Governor or courts.
Young Journalist
The following account of the burial
services of the lamented H. G. Wright,
we clip from the Chronicle and Constitu
tionalist, which comes to us draped in
sombre black lines in memory of the de
parted:
The funeral services over the remains
of Mr. H. G. Wright, yesterday morning,
were conducted by Rev. W.bH. LaPrade,
Pastor of St. John's 31. E. Church. The
residence of Mr. Henry F. Russell, father-
in-law of the deceased, was filled with
friends of the dead young man, and rela-
atives and acquaintances of the family;
the large parlors were darkened, and al
though every space in tho rooms, entries,
piazzas and stairway, w as occupied and
peopled with attendants, a solemn still
ness pervaded the house where the living
breathed lightly o’er the bier of the dead.
Out of doors, the day was one of exceed
ing beauty, and nature, as if regretting her
final blight upon the life and intellect,threw
about the habitation of sorrow a soft spien •
dor from the heavens, and summoned
to tlie sepulture the purest offerings from
earth. During 31onday and up to the
time ef midday yesterday the remains
were viewed by scores of acquainrances
and relatives, who had known the young
man in life. Not unnatural to them
seemed the face of the dead. No taint of
pain or trace of emaciation attended the
repose of the well-cut features, shaded by
fair, curling hair, and many who had
marked his thoughtful, placid countenance
in past days and noted his imperturbable
expressiou, could scarcely believe that
the blue eye would look no. more into
life: or that his brain was still forever.
Over the casket, around which the family
of the deceased gathered for the final fun
eral rites, flowers iii choice profusion
were affixed, and from the chandelier
above, a calm radiance swept over the
bier and breathed through the muffled
softness of the scene. After singing two
verses of the hymn, “Jesus, Lover of. My
Soul,” 3Ir. LaPrade made a few remarks.
Mr. LaPrade said:
This is neither the time nor the place
for a memorial address, and yet"« would
not close this sendee witR®ut some refer
ence to tho important lessons with which
the occasion is fraught. Our duty is with
the living—not with the dead. lie,whom
you knew better than I, has gone beyond
our present reach. He had his virtues—r
rich and many—and his faults, as who
has not? God is just and merciful, and'
“r “judgments are right.” According to
his and according to his character,
which was once the fountain and the
product ol his God has judged him.
Our estimates of men <*re always more or
less erroneous; His estim«n> s are exact.
We leave our friend in his Raids- the
“Lord of all the earth will do rigut.”
Who among us all had prospects so bright
as lay before 3D. Wrigbt eight years
ago? With youth, talents, energy and
friends, all predicted for liim 'a life of
great honor and usefnlness. The
eyes of the puhlic were upon him,
seeing in him a future leader of whom
all would some day be proud. Now, be
fore his powers had matured witli years,
at the very beginning of life, he is gone.
While he lived he did good work in his
chosen field; noble work—.York that will
live, on, as all true work does—but how
quickly .ended! Thus uncertain are all
this side the grave. Tale'hts, youth, ener
gy, ambition—all excellent things—are
but as chaff before the resistless sweep of
death. It is well to hope,'well to labor,
but it is not well to assume that yeara of
added life will bring fruits and realiza
tions. No man can count upon living un
til the harvest. Human leaves do not
wait for the “sere and yellow” state. In
the greenness of springtime they wither
and fall—sometimes more rapidly than
the funeral flowers that love otters to their
memory- plan in life i3 good that does
not reach beyond the grave; no labor
cerfain of reward save that which is “in
the Lord;” no entry of fame is eternal save
that which is made in the “Lamb’s Book
of Life.” I read from the coffin-lid, “Re
joice, O young man, in the days of thy
youth; let thy heart cheer thee, and thy
hopes beckon thee, and thy labors employ
thee—but know thou that ‘no man know-
eth what a day may bring forth’—yea, ‘no
man knoweth the day nor the hour when
the Son of Man cometh.’ Seek first the
‘Kingdom of God.’ Build for God. Per
fect for eternity. Take Christ in thy
arms. “Lay up treasure in Heaven;’ and,
whether the summons comes, soon or late,
all will be well.”
Concluding the delivery of these touch
ing remarks a feeling prayer was offered
and the procession filed from the house
to the;cemetery, attended by a long train
of carriages and pedestrians. The re
mains were borne by the following gentle
men: Judge Claiborne Snead, Hon. Rob
ert H. May, Hon. Joseph 13. Gumming,
Colonel Wilberforce Daniel, J. C. C.
Black, Esq., Captain Edgeworth Eve,
Captain James Barrett, Louis A. Dugas,
