Telegraph & Messenger. TUESDAY MOBNING. AUGUST 1 5, 1871. Pxjmjc Blisrisos.—It was Jay Cook & Co. who pronounced a nalional debt a public bless ing, and it has certainly been a very great bloss- ing.to them. They have inado millions out of the national debt by merely turning the pile over r.nd stacking it tap in different shapes so as to suit all tastes. Discoursing on tho “Nemesis of Debt,” the New Orleans Picayune estimates the national debt at two thousand millions; State debts ono thousand millions; City corpo ration debts at least ono thousand millions; Itailroad debts twelve hnndred millions; other debts enough to aggregato in all Bix thousand millions, paying $3GO,OOO t OOO interest yearly, which falls on 7,600,000 tax-payers and averages forty-seven dollars apiece, a year, all round. A Row in South Uaeouisa.—A Blackville cor respondent of the Charleston Conner describes a serious condition of affairs in that neighbor hood, Ten days ago a negro man was brutally murdered, as was supposed, by throe white des peradoes named Porter, and the negroes were ont tn mount after them—stopping travel, press ing provisions and throateniDg if they did not make the arrest to kill everybody from the cradle np. The correspondent calls npon the Governor to send down a force to straighten matters. A Richmond letter tells Ibis of Governor Wise: “On one occasionsince the war he seized a colored newsboy on the street, gently laid him doVru on tho pavement, put his right foot npon tho neck of the prostrate boy, and then shonted, ‘Sie-semper tyrannis, by G—d!’ But this dreadful expression of sentiment was imme diately qualified by his presenting a fractional greenback to the “tyrant"—making that col ored youth importune him to ‘do it agin’ at the same price." A State Bankeupt.—The Raleigh Sentinel, commenting npon the condition of North Caro lina, says she eannot pay ont. The interest on the debt is SI,200,000 annually—current ex penses of 8tate Government $800,000, and the taxes to support county, municipal and Federal Governments will Hwell these amounts to $5,- 000,000. On tho other band, the whole annnal income of the people amounts to only $0,000,- 000, and they cannot subsist on one-aixth of their earnings. The State is bankrupt New Cotton.—Three bales new crop cotton were sold at anotion -in Montgomery on Friday last. The first bale was raised by W. B. Bryant, of Lowndes county, Alabama, and was bid off by Messrs. Moore, NValdman & Co., at 4t)J cents. It weighed 645 pounds. That bale came to $261 22. The second bale was bid off at the samo price by A. A H. Strassbnrgor, and weighed 485 pounds. The third was sold at 30 cants and woighed 426 ponods. Hold Fast, Ageioultubai. Bureau.—Tho Agricultural Department sneenmbs to the ridi cule of tho cotton bears, and pnts ont a premon itory warning to day, that thoir September re port is going on high figures. Hold on, Com missioner. Stand by your estimate of three and a half millions. Don’t hang too hoavily on that letter from Arkansas. If three and a half millions does not tnm ont to be high enongb, we will acknowledge onrselves mistaken again. Seventeen Rattles and a Button.—Mr. J. II. Hamilton seeds ns the rattlos from a snake which he killed a few days ago in Tayloroonnty. There are aeventeen rattles and a button—the rattles over three quarters of an inch. wide. Mr. n. says the snako weighed about thirty pounds, but he does not give tho dimensions. That was a snake we should expressly and particularly de cline to be bitten by. Eablv Ticking.—The Agricultural Bureau reports earlier cotton picking than last year. Last year, wo had a wet August and cotton was green and growing vigorously. This year a drouth has pervaded most of the cotton region and tho holla have parchod up in the hot snn and opened prematurely. Do they look npon that as promising a heavy yield of cotton ? A Toon Rule.—While the yonng women are besieging Northern medical schools and colleges very snccessfally for leave to come in with the yonng men, the other day a yonng gentleman stndent was peremptorily refused admission into South Hadley Female Seminary, of Mas sachusetts. What are we to think of a rulo which works only ono way ? The Courier gives several illustrations of the rise of property in Charleston since the elec tion. Illustrating the ferocity of politics among the negroes, that paper tells of a colored hus band kept out of his honse by a termagant wife becanso ho had voted for Wagoner. Finally, the man made good uis prerogatives with a hick ory Btick. IlAtirm roa September —Messrs Brown & Co. have this magazine for September, with a most varied and interesting table of contents— among other things stories by Annie Thomas nnd Justin McCarthy, and a most readable illns- tratod paper entitled tho “Bard of Abbotsford.” This number is particularly rich in illustrations. Wild Lands—Suspension or Executions.— From a correspondence between Gov. Bullock and Comptroller Bell, published in the Atlanta Era, of Sunday, wo learn that the former has issued nn order suspending the issuing of exe cutions against unreturned wild lands, until the meeting of the next Legislature. Gas and M ateu —It is said seventy-five per cent, of the damage resulting in ordinary fires comes from the smoke and water. The New Yorkers are oonsideriDg the use of carbonic acid gas instead of water, as a fire extinguisher. The gas is moro fatal to fire and hurts nothing. The Galaxy, for September, oame yesterday, nnd may be found at the bookstoros. Lady Ju dith, the Nether Side of New York and Ongbt wo to 1 ’-Ait Her, are the sereal articles. Among the others Is a paper npon Agricultural Labor at the Sonth, by a Southerner. The Bins Ridge Railroad is to be relaid and completed on a gunge of three feet. Theengi- neer estimates that this will make a saving in construction nnd equipment of $140,000, and in running of 52J instead of 70 per -cent, of gross receipts. Bt the anditor’s report of the Stale of Lou isiana the public printing in that State for 1870 amounted to $519,981.81, and of this sum $366,000 wore paid to the New Orleans Repub- NewIse op Lime;—Two negroes In Knox ville slaking lime and quarreling in unequal parts, one seized the other and held him in the hissing lime until he was brought to reason. A Level Head. Onr Atlanta correspondent’s head is extremely level on the matter of this platform discussion in the Goorgia papers. We agree with him fully. Mbs. Vallandioiiam died in Cumberland Maryland, last Saturday morning, no doubt from grief at the loss of her husband. A milk and a half of car loads of peaches reach New York every day over the New Jersey Itailroad alone. Oub Springs correspondents shall be heard to morrow. Ntraws in rolillrs. Replying to tho Times who charges tho New York Union Republican Gcnerni ConuuilUo with intense hostility to Gen. Grant and a pur pose to defeat his re-nomination, etc., failing in that, to defent his re-election, Mr. Greeley says that, so far as he knows, the reverse of this assertion is true. He himself, does not flavor Grant’s renomination and at tho proper time, will give his reasons. But ho insists on lho right of every Republican to avow his personal preference, and if proscription, bullying and browbeating are to be put in force, the renom- ination will be a transparent farce. The Tribune of the 10th would be sorry to bolieve that tho pnxjfedings with regard to the Lonisana Radical Convention were sanctioned by an influential officials at Washington. The Tribune of tho 71th has an official from New Orleans, saying that Marshal Packard stated that ho bad authority from President Grant to use the Cnstom-honsc as a place of meeting for tho Convention, and to bring the United States troops for its protection. Whereupon that paper says, editorially: We note with great mortification the fact that United States Marshal Packard, with snpereer- viceable zeal, told the dissenting members of the Republican Convention at New Orleans that he was authorized by President Grant to use the Gnstom Honse for the Convention, and bring Unitod States troops there for its protec tion. We don’t mean to believe him, unless we must. It seems probable that the United States Marshal is restive nnder a load of odinm which he desires to shoulder off upon others. The San calls the performance a strange and alarming spectacle, and says bnt for Grant’s in terferonce with his Swiss Guards he would have been beaten out of sight in the Convention. The Franco-Itasstan Alliance. The Herald, of Friday, sounds an alarm as follows: Wab Thbeatenino.—Tho prospect of another war stares Europe in tho face. OnrRpecial dis patch from Salzburg brings the startling news that Rtassia has formed an alliance with France against Anstria and Germany. On the other hand, the Emperor William and Francis Joseph ere about to meet at Gastein. The theme of their conference, at which tho Austrian Chan cellor, Count Benst, is also to be present, will probably bo the threatening Franco-Rcssian al liance. It now behooves the two Kaisers to nnite in opposing the hostile combination. Rus sia is arming on a gigantic scale. Thiers has refused to reduce the large military establish ment of Franco. Surely, this means mischief. It is a well known fact that Russia has not looked with a favorable eye npon the overshad owing preponderance of Germany. Austria is her natural enemy, who has always barred the execution of her ambitious designs in the Dann- bian PrincipalitieH. In view of these facts it is by no means improbablo that the Czar has taken np those negotiations with Thiers which had been commenced with the Empress Eugenie and so inopportnnely broken off by the revolution of the 4th of September. One is tempted to ask what has become of all that gushing and overflowing entente cordiale which existed six or eight mouths ago between Russia nnd Ausfria, under presume of which tho electrio wire was tansy conveying monnagea of compliment and congratulation. We thought it settled then that, Germany and Russia were to divide Europe between them. Taste and Flash. Contrasting these in their practical exhibitions at Saratoga, hte correspondent of the Commer cial Advertiser has the following: There is another typo of womanhood in Con gress Hall—a patrician type which cmies from onltivation and generations of good blood. : Sbe wears no bright colors B«-r eyes delight in subtle symphonies—symphonies iu music and colora, too.' She does not wear yellow, and bine, nnd scarlet—but she mingles them altogether as the painter mingles his paints An his palette, and produces a warm symphony in brown or dral>*—perhaps, the lovely pongee. If she wears blue, she pnts white iu it. tusking it look like the sky, or darkous it to the blue of tho ocean. If she wears scarlet, she tones it down with blue till it becomes maroon. If she wears chrome yellow, she tones it down with white till it becomes straw color—always a symphony. Her shoulders are proudly erect, like the "Ve nus do Medici, and her arms rest in nature’s at titude, like the arms of Thorwaldsen’s graces— palmR to the front. Her hair is gracefully dressed, high up on the head, like the Venus of Canovn, to show the beautiful curves of the neck; and are not stuffed or swelled into a clumsy globe, to bang like a dead weight down npon the back. In the end she “stans" people iu a civilized way—with grace, style and purity; wbilo tho plebian stuns with pictureRque colora, deformed shoulders and flopping hands. There is a young lady at Congress Hall so graceful, so very stylish, and yet so plain in her attire, that when she walks across the room she is the cen tre of attraction. I veutnre to say that she kuows more of art, of sculpture, and of the true beauty of form and style and color than all the plebian girls in .the honse AMONG GENTLEMEN we see the same idea illustrated. Yesterday when the carriages came np I saw a gilded fonr^ in-hand with white reins and coachman in yel low liveries. Everybody looked rs they would look at a row of pencockB on dress-parade, for the turnout was a “stunner!" By-and-by np came an English drag, jot black, with one sev enteen-hand horse. There was a harness for utility, with steel buckles, and the coachman was garbed in modest black. It was a swell turnout, bnt the owner has taste, and he stnns with a rig of plain and simple elegance. The Kentucky Election.—A Louisville dis patch to the World dated the 10th says that official returns received from thirty-nine ooun- ties show that Leslie is receiving not only the largest Democratic vote ever polled in Ken tucky, bnt absolutely the largest vote ever poll ed for any man of any party in that State. His vote in three counties exceeds by 904 the vote cast for Seymonr in the same connties in 1878, and exceeds the vote cast for Stevenson that year in the same connties by 1154. The vote cast for the Democratic Congressional ticket in those counties last November, when the negro vote was first polled at a general election, was only 37,705. For Leslie at the late election these counties gave 55,384 votes, a gain of 17,- 679. The aggregato Democratic majority in 1870 was 32,314. Leslie's majorities in thirty- nine counties exceed those of 18G0 by 4461 ; his majority will rcRch near 50,000. Unofficial reports from abont hRlf the connties of the State show that while Harlan has polled a heavy negro vote, there has been a heavy defection of white men from the Radical party, and if the whole Democratic vote had been polled it would have reached at least 130,000. Looking Up.—The News quotes the following incident as an evidence of what the recent po litical triumph will do for Charleston: A Broad street broker sold yesterday a lot in Savage street, measuring 55 by 120 feet, for $500 cash. This same property, prior to the election, was a drug on his hand at $400, on time. He also was offered $7,000 for a house and lot, which he tried to sell in vain before the triumph of the Conservative ticket for $0,000 These are but straws, it is true, but they show which way tho wind is blowing. Another sign of returning prosperity is the fact that capital ists from the adjoining cities and elsewhere are in the market for sites in the burnt district. We met with a gentleman from Angusta last evening, who has came over on the strength of onr snccess to invest in lands. Advice to Cotton Planters.—“Willoughby,’’ the New York correspondent of the Augusta Constitutionalist, writes as follows, undei; date of August 8th: We are having some weakness in cotton. This is entirely due to the pressure of existing stocks on the market, and has no special refer ence to the future. I oan only say to your read- era that I would not sell a bale of cotton till Liverpool advances to 10d. for middling upland. An old lady, writing to her son ont West warns him to beware of bilions saloons and bowel alleys. Til K GEOKRU I’ltUSN. Mr. Henry Batts, one of tho oldest citizens o? Miller county, died last Sunday morning Rev. John B. McGehee has been elected Pres ident, and S. F. Scaif Professor, in Andrew Fe male College, at Cnthbert. Mr. Perry H. Oliver, for seventeen years a prominent citizen of Americas, died vefv sud denly on Sunday, the Clh inst. Mr. Oliver was bora in Macon, and was about forty-fivo years old. Ho was at one time tho owner and exhib itor of “Blind Tom,” whom he carried on a tour through Europe. We learn from tho Sumter Republican, that Wiley Chambliss attemped to assasisnate Henry Hardy in that place, last Tuesday. Mr. H. was passing along the street when Chambliss sprang ont from a store door and struck him a blow with a knife or dirk on the right side, passing under and through the fleshy part of the arm, severing the main artery and rendering the limb almost entirely useless. Chambliss was committed to jail in default of $2,000 bail. The Dahlonega Signal reports a rain of frogs in that county laBt Tuesday. They “literally covered the ground.” The Signal says: Beautiful Gold —Captain Thies exhibited to us, oa Wednesday last, a lot of five hnndred and oddpwts. gold taken from the Battle Branch property—tho prettiest lot wo ever saw. The larger portion of it is as largo as coffee grains, and some pieces weighing threo pwts. and up ward. Under the head, “Work for Onr Next Legis lature,” the Washington Gazette says, among other things: The educational interests of the State should be looked into, and something done in regard to the school fund. We believe all on hand was pocketed by the last Legislature. Onr State University should be most liberally endowed, and tho endowment secured in some way, if possible, so that no future military despot can interfere with it, as did the gallant “Headquar ters Popo” with annual allowance granted by a former Legislature. Of crops in. Wilkes, the Gazette reports as fol lows : During tho past three or four weeks the drouth has done immense damage throughout this county. About one-third of the county has had no rain for abont nine weeks. We passed through this section some ten days ago, and for tho first time saw corn actually dead in the fields; in many fields the com^ould have been burnt 'by placing a lighted match to it. The cotton was little, if any, better. We saw many fields which we do not believe wonld make a bale to ten acro3. Fortunately, tho other por tion of onr county has suffered very little, the dronth having set in after early com was pretty wpll made, and we have had good rains, during the past week, in time to save the late crop. Tho local of the Bainbridgo Argns has evi dently lost his arithmetio. He figures np six cows at $40 each to cost just $160. We don’t want to sell cows, for a living, to that chap. The corn, swcot potaoto, and fodder crops of Decatur county are all good, this season. ;A negro man, woman and child wore capsized from a boat in the Flint River, near Bainbridge, one day last week, and the two latter drowned, the former making no sffort to save either. Trains now run through from Atlanta to West Point in three hours, which gives a speed of 29 miles an hour. Mr. A. N. Snelson, of Washington, commit ted suicide, last Wednesday, by taking strych nine. Ho was crazy. Rival sewing machine agents at Savannah— decide tho merits of their respective machines by revolvers and “cuss” words. This method saves much breath on their parts, and more bor ing on that of their victims. Tho Savannah Advertiser, of Sunday, Bays that Rev. Dr. Landzam,' of that city, has re ceived a call from the Second Baptist Church of Memphis, and that he will probably accept it. Late in the afternoon of the 8th isnstant, in Waynesboro, Henry S. Hill was assaulted by John D. Munnerlyn, Clerk of the Superior Court and fired npon three times, the first shot only taking effect The difficulty, as the Expositor is informed, originated in salts brought by Hill against Mnnneilyn for de manding and taking greater fees, in his official capacity, then are allowed by law. The Savannah Republican, of Sunday, says: The Darien Difficulty —Toere is no news from the expedition to Darien, which left here Friday, at 5 o'clock r. m. A dispatch from that port, yesterday noon, made inquiry as to when the Marshal left Savannah, stating that nothing had been h~.ird if the steamer. It is probable that she stopped at Doboy, where the bark Grace is loaded and ready for sea. Later.—It will be seen by a private dispatch, published elsewhere, that the arrest of Tunis G. Campbell aiid several of bis confederates was effected yesterday evening, without difficul ty. They will be brought to Savannah for trial. Says tho Era, of Sunday : Oub Mid-Westebn Border.—Wo had the pleasure of meeting onr esteemed friend, Major Bryant, last evening. He is fresh from or mid- western border, and his report is that rain has been plentiful. Cotton on red lands is fine ; on low lands it is rather poor. Com is average on good land. These remarks will apply to Meri wether, Troup, Coweta, Carroll, Heard, Fay ette, Clayton, Henry, Douglas, Paulding, and CampbeU. M . T ’STST r> £VT% r~ A Romo correspondent ot the Constitution alist writes as follows concerning the fate of the proposition made in the State Agricultural Con vention, to establish an organ for the society: At the afternoon session of Thursday, the Secretary of the State Society endeavored to impress on tho minds of the delegates, the ne cessity of the society having an organ—not a hand organ, but a newspaper one; and demon strated, on paper, the advantages to accrne therefrom. This proposition evidently struck the ideas of the convention as partaking strongly of a job, and the Rev. C. W. Howard replied to the Secretary in- a telling speech, demolishing the proposed enterprise in an incredibly short space of time. The Secretary is said to express the belief that there is only one man in Georgia who is capable of editing a newspaper. It is presumable that he has got that man by the col lar, and anticipated starting a paper that wonld swallow np r11 the smaller fry; but the conven tion did not see it, and the matter was referred to the Executive Committee, who will, of coarse, consign the proposition to its proper place. Capt. Fillebrowne,'the United States officer in charge of the survey of the Coosa river, was drowned at Columbiana, Ala., last Saturday, as we learn from the Rome Commercial. Mr. Lovejoy’s store, at Floyd Springs, was burned last Friday night. Loss $5,000, insured for $1,200. Four thousand pounds of dried peacheB were sold at Thomaston last Thursday. The Herald says the essence of peach will. very plentiful this fall. We clip the following from the Colnmbns En quirer, of Sunday: Good News —We learn from Captain Bacon that eight oar loads of first class fish bar rail ar rived yesterday, to be used in relaying the branch road between this point and Opelika. This is the first instalment of 300 tons. He will commence distributing to-day, and the work of relsjirg will commence at an early day.
