Xus wheat crop of the Western States is ex
cellent, and larger than has been reaped for
many years.
Xus Alabama and Chattanooga IIailboad.
Stanton yentillales his controversy with Gover
nor Lindsay, of Alabama, at an cxpenso of four
columns of theTribnnoof last Tuesday.
The Scorn Caor.—The Picayune reports the
sugar crop of Louisiana in splendid condition,
and likely to produce 225,000 hogsheads. The
rice crop has been injured by the heavy rains.
X» t . *tt* >||rg to Thomabville.—The Talla-
last woek organized a company to
build a railroad from Tallahassee to Thomas-
ville, under the title of the “Tallahasseo and
Georgia Railroad and Steam Transportation
Company.” The distance is thirty-five miles.
A Chance fob Musqcitoes.—The New Or
leans Picayune, of the ICtb, says:
It is asserted that Romo wealthy and enter
prising capitalist has bought a largo quantity of
swamp land in tho vicinity of the Itigoleta some
thousand acres or so—with a view of converting
it into a large rice plantation.
A PacrosmoN.—The New York Snn prints
this proposition in staring italics in a separate
paragraph:
“When a President surrounds political con
ventions with soldiers in order tn exclude from
them those citizens who are opposed to bis re-
nomination, tho liberties of the peoplo are in
danger.”
Brmtn.—Tho Presidents sore-tailed colt is
officially announced to bo “better" Now we
feel relieved. In tho construction of the now
Exeoutivo stable in Washington the recurrence
of this misfortune has boon provided against.
The oolt’s stall is to bo of black walnut, careful
ly oilod and polished.
Wht not Bsfoez ?—Wo see at the meeting of
tho corporators of various inohoste and embryo
railroads held at tho Kimball House last
Wednesday, they “agreed to oppose any
farther efforts to obtain State aid." We should
think so. Bat opposition must ante-date that
or Georgia is a rained community.
Tins Halt. Ancno Expedition. - Cspt. Hull,
with his exploring stesmship Polaris, arrived
at Holsteinberg, Greenland, July 21st, and was
awaiting the arrival of the OoDgress with her
supplies. Holsteinberg is about fifty mile3 in-
aido the Arctio oirele, but the bold explorers are
yot nearly a thousand miles from tho Polar cir
cle.
Cotton Cbop in Middle Flomda.—Tho first
balo was brought to Tallahassee on the 8th, by
It. O. Parkhill and weighed C'6 pounds. The
Floridian reports tho crop iu good condition
and opening rapidly. Thero was some rust and
some gennine caterpillars. In East Florida the
Ocala Banner reports tho crop as excellent, and
says corn will be shipped in largo quantities.
“Oob Cobean Elephant."—Under this head
tho Tribune mourns and laments over tho Corean
situation. It was a glorious fight and dog cheap
—the best modern rifled guns against old honey
combed twelves, and had powdor—breechloaders
against matchlocks. Tho Coreans were badly
whipped—ran off in the interior and refused to
“treat.’' Wbat is to be done ? To follow them
demands on army, and implies a war. Not to
follow them, leaves matters ten timeH worse
than before. Wbat is to be done ?
Sabbath Obsebvanoe.—Lively doings under
this hoad are noted in London. For years a se
ries of prosoculionB have been carried on against
small traders for violations of the Sunday sot
of Charles II. A bill to stop these prosecutions
has boen before Parliament with small progress
for a long timo; until the repealers, getting in-
oonsed, have commenced prosecutions uuder
the act against the coachmen, warketmen and
other Sunday servitors of Marqnis of Lorno,
Prinoe Took and other sprigs of royalty. This
proceeding excites much “honest ind'gnation."
The Polygamy Case in Utah.—Mrs. Harriet
Hawkins is tho complaining Mormoness in Salt
lathe City, who wants her hnsband punished for
taking more wives than good taste, sonnd morals
or tho oustoms of tho Gentiles permits. She
charges that she was married in England in
1850, and has had six children. That six years
ago her husband took another wife, snd three
years thereafter a third one, and since that time
has deserted, beaten and abused her. Where
fore she sues for divorce, and makes affidavit
charging her husband with adultery.
The Last Earthquake. — Another fearful
earthquake and voioanio eruption has been no
ted by the telegrams. It occurred on the little
island of Tagolada, in the Malay Archipelago.
Several craters, besides tho main one of the
volcano Knwang, opened near it with immense
explosions and shook tho earth for great dis
tances and destroyed all human habitations. At
the same moment a great wave from tho sea,
forty feet in height and travelling with incredi
ble rapidity, swept over the island and engnlfed
and carried away every living sonl. Not a sin
gle living thing was left on the island. Fonr
hundred and sixteen persons perished.
Diboontxnt in Fbasoe—The World’s Paris
correspondence of the 28th July, gives a lively
picture of tLe general discontent with the
Xhiers administration existing in France at that
timo. In the National Assembly his persistent
coquetry with Gambetta and the minorities—
his egregions egotism and perpetual fussiness
nnd jealous monopoly of all responsibility and
power, bad created almost universal disgnst
among the great body of conservatives. The
army was incensed by new regulations imposing
incessant hours of drill and constant isolation
from tho people; while the people themselves
were greatly dissatisfied by the requirements of
the new aimy bill. The sitnation at that
time was pronounced by this correspondent as
extremely critical.
Europe and Blanton Duscan.—The World
of Tuesday says that Ool. Duncan, who had just
rotnrned from Eiropo and who has held inti
mate sooial relations with the French Imperial
family was interviewed by a reporter of that
paper. He says that Napoleon believes in his
early restoration, that the government of M.
Thiers is regarded as a mere makeshift, and that
his death at this timo would be followed by
another civil war. Gambetta is looked npon as
an ambitions, intriguing, able man. Bazaine
waits for history to j astify him. Leboeuf is a
“wretched creature.” The Empress is well,
and intends to sond the Prince Imperial on a
tour through the United States whenever he is
old enough to appreciate this big country. Col
onel Duncan believes that England is threatened
With serious revolutionary troubles.
Affairs at the New Capital.—The New
York papers report things very slack-twisted at
Long Branch—wives flirting—babies neglected
—nurses intriguing—husbands cancnssing, office
hunting, drinking, swearing and horse racing—
daughters ranging, flashing and dashing—Pres
ident Grant lolling round with hia hat on the
back of his head—a big cigar in hia mouth and
his heels cocked np on the driver’s seat—the
very picture of a man who has got a good aitn-
alion and means to hold it by all means against
all comers. A blase, rowdy, dirty, vulgar, drink
ing, swearing and licontion3 place is Long
Branch, although it is the “headquarters of the
nation and of the high morality party." Sand,
champagne, bad morals, and corrupt poli
tics prevail. What would old AS ashiDglon, Jef
ferson, Madison and Hickory Jackson say to the
Republican Court of the New Era? Evidently,
“Peat, yon bitch!”
THE UEOKUIA I'lCKSN.
XVo of Bullock’s Notarios Public down ut
Savannah are in troublo. They are King Solo
mon Thomas, a negro, who has been indicted
for extortion, and Alfred E. Jones, white, who
is charged with an attempt at rape npon a dusky
Venus.
The Savannah Advertiser, of Thursday, says
the Southern and Atlantic Telograph Company
has extended its line to that city, and will open
an office for the transaction of business, within
a week.
The Col ambus San estimates the loss from
tho smash up on the Southwestern Railroad at
Baker’s Creek bridge, last Tnesday night, at
$5000—which strikes ns as rather exaggerated.
The Romo Commercial says:
CoL Yancey made a very fine point in the
Convention Friday. Joseph E Brown was
urging planters to raise clover. Yancey said ho
raised a large lot of clover on his plantation in
Alabama, and shipped it to AthenR. He found
that the freight co.-t him one dollar and fifty
cents a hundred. He conld bny W astern hay
for one dollar and seventy-five cents in Athens.
So that high freights forbade his raising clover
to sell iu this section, in fact transferring it
from Alabama to Athens cost no mnch that he
could scarcely afford to use it himself. So that
he must quit it, unless he could movo his farm
out West, and thns cheapen his freights to
Athens.
The Advertiser say s a paper race boat 43 f L long
and 2G inches beam, made by Waters, Batch &
Co., Troy, New York, reached Savannah, Tues
day, and was immediately forwarded to Macon
“to bo manned by oarsmen constituting a part
of the clerical force of the Central Railroad.'
The bodies of 32 Confederate soldiers re
moved from the Gettysburg battle field will ar

Tho Savannah Advortiser learns that the rice
crop in the Satilla River country is larger and
better than at any time since the war. The corn
crop is poor, having been greatly damaged by
rain.
We clip tho following from the Savannah
News, of Thursday:
Tho Atlanta Sun says it is rumored that Kim
ball has sold all interest whatever in tho great
hotel which he has bnilt in that city. Nobody
need be surprised if this should turn ont to be
true. There has been a heavy amonnt of wood
work going on of lute to Rnstain this modern
bonso that Jack bnilt, and as there is likely to
be some investigation of the malt that is in it
—the monoy of- the State road invested in its
construction—it is highly proper that the parties
interested in the division should bring matters
to a close beforo the meeting of tho next Legis
lature.
Dawson is to have a new jail at a cost of $5,
300, and by way of getting fuqda in hand to pay
for it, has sold tho old jail, jailor’s house, and
other ontbnildings thereunto belonging, for
$160.
J. G. Chapman, of Terrell oonnty, sent, on
Wednesday, the first bale of now cotton received
at Dawson this season. It classed ordinary, and
brought 20 cents per pound.
Tho Savannah Repnblican says a portion of
the property stolen from St. Episcopal church
in that city, Tnesday night, has been recovered,
and the thieves will soon be arrested.
Capt. Nick KiDg, of Savannah, was robbed
last Tnesday night, of over $300, and by three
o'clock, Wednesday, the thief, a gentle gazelle
of Radical politics named Bill Grant, was nailed,
and $233 of the money recovered. It nil came
of William’s being so nnfnrtnnate as to leave
his hat in the houso where the robbery was
committed.
The Chronicle and Sentinel, of Thursday,
Rays the contract for building the Augusta and
Hartwell railroad has been ratified by the direc
tors, and that work will be at once commenced
—the contractors, whose names, by tho way,
are not given—binding themselves to complete
the entire line from Angnsta to Clayton by Jan-
nary 1st, 1874, and to finish ten miles within
sixty days. Chas. Seymour was elected chief
engineer, vie/. A. Grant Childs. We notice also
that Chapman, the developer, whom the Chron
icle was after with such a sharp stick not long
since, was unanimously elected a director to fiil
a vacancy. How abont that, gentlemen ?
Tho Hotchkiss case at Atlanta, resulted in
that trewly Ioyl person's being held to bail in
the snm of $2,000, for trial in Fnlton Superior
Court. After his release he was arrested on
another and similar charge, and gave bail in the
same snm. He is ont in a card requesting, as
is nsnal with gentlemen of his stripe, “a sus
pension of pnblio opinion.”
A negro member of the State convict gang at
Atlanta, was killed Wednesday by Jas. Alexan
der, nephew of Mr. Alexander, of the firm of
Grant, Alexander & Co. Alexander will be
tried to-day. The negroes, law-abiding as
nsnal, talked of lynching him.
It has not rained at Rome for fifty-nine days,
and the papers soy the dronth is producing
some sickness.
Col. Doyal and Dr. Mitchell, of Griffin, who
have recently been prostrated by paralysis are
recovering. Little Alice, daughter of Judge
Alex. M. Speer, of Griffin, is dead.
Wo clip the following items from the Calhoun
Times, of Thursday:
Hon. John P. King, of Angnsta, has donated
a lot in the town of Calhoun, aiid a considerable
amonnt of money, we have been informed, for
the purpose of bnilding an Episcopal chnrcb.
Noah'McGinnis, in Sugar Valley, was runover
by a log cart last week and was seriously, proba
bly fatally, injured.
Some recent rains have done good bnt the
earn crop will be a short one.
The Rome Courier, of yesterday, says:
Sad.—Wo regret to learn of a sad affair in
Oxford, Alabama, last Sabbatb, resulting in the
death of Jas. P. Harris, who was shot by Mr.
Samuel Morgan. We have not been able to
learn^tho particulars. Mr. Harris was a brother
of our fellow citizen Mr. R. N. Harris, and was
a young man of worth and bnsiness capacity,
and had boen for several years connected with a
mercantile firm in New York.
The negroes of Newton county are practicing
phlebotomy extensively, jnst now. Two of them
were dangeronsly cut in Covington, last Sunday
night, at the Baptist church.
The Atlanta Plantation says:
Col. Lockett has in Southwestern Georgia,
planted in cotton this year, six thousand fire
hundred acres, and in corn end small grain three
thousand five hundred acres, making in all ten
thousand acres. It is estimated that his cotton
crop will be worth $180,000. This is probably
the largest cotton crop made by any one person
in the cotton region. He employs three hun
dred and sixty hands, all blacks.
Red Hot.—A correspondent of tho Memphis
Appeal, writing from the Greenbrier White
Sulphur Springs, states that Mr. Toombs is
among the celebrities thero, and that th6 writer
has had repeated interviews with Mr. Toombs.
Further, this correspondent says:
Wo presented him with a copy of the paper
containing aa article against the new departure.
Ho is violently hostile toit,andany otherinnova-
tion of the old Democratic faith. He says its ad
vocates are those who never had rny principle
or sold ont to the enemy. Hancock is his
favorite for the Presidency, although he says he
will support Grant in preference to Quincy
Adams, Chase, or any other Democrat on the
new departure platform.
Mr. Toombs is a big man, bnt he isn’t quite
strong enough to make that stick, even in his
own bailiwick. He might persuade a few men
in the Fifth District to follow him to the polls
with Grant ballots in their fists, bnt that noblo
army would find no recruits anywhere else. But
Mr. Toombs is frank, as usual. No w let ns hear
from the other reJ-hois—of the “do or die’’
newspaper fraternity, especially. What answer,
ye Bugle Horns of Liberty and Battle Axes of
Freedom ?
How Much More of the Same Kind ?—Plato
Durham, of Shelby, N. C., publishes a card de
nouncing the published synopsis of his testimo
ny, as given before the Kn-klux Committee, “a
lying, garbled and perverted misstatement from
beginning to end.” I
IVlio Rliall Xame the Candidate?
We supposo the Democracy of the throe
counties composing this Senatorial District—
Bibb, Monroe and Pike—will soon begin to
move in the matter of patting forth a candi
date for 8enator to be voted for at the election
on the 13th of September. As we understand the
rotation question, it is Monroe’s time to name
the candidate—Pike having had that honor at thej
last election, and Bibb at the one previous.
This, from wbat we hear, is generally conceded,
so let Monroe put her best foot foremost. We
shall heartily support whoever is nominated,
of course, bnt if CoL A. D. Hammond, of
Forsyth, is the fortunate man, we shall be spe
cially pleased to help him reach the winning
post.
Akerman (or Vice-President.
The “ring” organ at Atlanta flies Akerman’s
name as its chosen candidate for vice-President
along with Grant, the American Dyonisius, as
its first choice for President. Bnt the organ
seems to be alone in its advocacy of little Amos’
claims. The idea of making a Vice-President
out of snch timber, seems not to be entertained
anywhere else. There may be “a movement”
to briDg Amos forward for the position, but so
far as we can learn it is confined to the organ
aforesaid, and Amos himself. Grant might
like the association well enongb, for the men
are a good deal alike. Both are narrow minded,
intolerant, ungrateful and vindictive in the ex
treme, bnt we hardly think the Radical leaders
will. A man whose State is dead against him by
30,000 majority, is not the man for their money.
When they gives quo they want a quid, and Amos
can’t respond.
From the West thore is heard a guffaw of rid
icule at the very idea. The Washington corres
pondent of the Cincinnati Commercial (Radical)
writes that Crcswell, Post Master General, and
Amos are both pipe-laying for the nomination.
Of Akerman, his chances and claims, the corres
pondent writes as follows:
A few obsoure papers in tho South, edited by
United States Attorneys or United States Mar
shals, have raised his name for this office, and
the little creatnro is beside himself. The mere
intimation sets the fellow wild. Yet a year ago
this man was happy in beiDg the Attorney for
his District. He never had any aspirations
higher than member of the Legislature when
Grant took him by the nape of his neck and
forced him to the front a3 Attorney General.
The little fellow was scared to death. He didn’t
know what had befallen him. He began to look
over his accounts to see if thero was any mis
take.
Flanked by Joshna Hill, ho presented himself
to tho President The grandeur of Washington
oppressed him, the majesty of tho public build
ings appalled him. With an air of simple
modesty, blushing with embarrassment, and
trembling with anxiety, he was admitted to the
royal presenco of Ulysses. The President liked
his boshfulness and hesitancy. It was some
thing even for Grant to live for. The idea of a
man sensitive and self-depreciating, yet running
over with nobleness of heart, shrinking from
him in his high office, tickled hits vanity and
gratified him immeasurably.
If there was ever a am alter man occupied the
high office of Attorney General, I hope I may
never hoar his name. The people Jove hnmility.
It was this that first attached Grant to the pub
lic, and I have no donbt that in time Akerman
would have become popnlar, bnt he has thrown
his hnmility to the dogs, and has entered the
list with nil the confidence of an old politician.
He stands ns good a chance of being nominated
for Vice-President as Ben. Eggleston does for
being the next Emperor of France.
TTTR CLAIMS.
And what do yon suppose his claims are ?
Why, the little creature imagines that his loca
tion is going to do the business for him. In the
simpleness of his feeble nature, ho thinks he is
the only man in the South of any prominenco
in tho Repnblican party, and that the Sonth
must certainly bo represented on the ticket.
Some United Status Marshal or attorney has told
him that the Republicans cannot carry tho Sonth
for President, unless tho candidate for Vice-
President is from that section, and Akerman be
lieves it. And he believes (Akerman is very
crednlons and tho marshals and Sfttornoys have
found it ont) that if he is put on tho ticket
with Grant, that ho will carry, with one or
two exceptions, the Southern States. All ho
has to do now is to make other people believe
it. He thinks it wonld be nnjnst to the people
in that large section of country to disregard
their claims, and he is snro that if he were nom
inated, it would show the Sonth that the Repub
licans desired to deal with them fairly, and even
generously. He also believes that bis service
in the rebel army as an offioer wonld bring him
additional strength, which undoubtedly wonld
in his section. It wonld be a beantifnl example
of fraternal reconciliation to have a Union and
a rebel officer associated together as candidates
for tho two highest offices in the gift of the
people. Bnt Akerman should not be held re
sponsible for his course. He is a feeble-minded,
little man, unskilled in worldly affairs, and
flattery, that deadly foe to judicions ambition,
has forced from him the little sense he had,
and left in its place a modicum of wind.
An Ex-Vreasnry Detective on Radi
cal Frauds and Corruption in that
Department—lie Proposes to ‘ Un
told a Tale.”
Ex-Treasnry detective Wood, a Radical of the
straitest sect, announces by a card in tho New
York Sun, that he has abandoned bis intention
of exposing the fraud and corruption at Wash
ing in a book, bnt will do so in a series of arti
cles, to appear in that journal. He says:
My papers will open with the establishment
and proof, beyond successful controversy, of
the gigantic fraud on the pnblio and govern
ment in the article of United States bonds, re
lating to the redemption, exchange and interest
theroon. I shall endeavor to give this subject
(so little understood) such an expose that the
humblest mind shall not fail to comprehend the
corrnption and fraud by which the peoplo or the
government are swindled to the extent of mill
ions of dollars annually.
During the progress of these epistles to the
people I shall expose the peculations and mis
management of the Printing Department of the
Treasury, as also tho glaring frauds and favor
itism in the paper contracts of the Secretary of
the Treasury, in the specialty of what is known
as the fibre paper, and promise in advance rich
developments in that particular. Among the
many matters I shall expose I intend to give
the history of tho steamer Golden Rule, which
vo®el was wrecked, premeditatedly, on the
Runcader Reefs, in the Carribean Sea, and
abont three millions of Government treasure
was stolen from the Government safe on board.
Knowing as I do the parties who committed the
theft, I will show how one of these parties be
came intimate with President Grant, (probably
through Parisian outfits for ladies,) and that
ultimately this man’s name was actually sent to
the United States Senate for confirmation as a
high official representative of onr Government
at Paris. I will show how and why said nomi
nation was rejected, and what .high dignitaries
have drank abundantly of th"e French wines
presented to them and purchased with the
funds of the proceeds of the robbery of the
nation's treasure on board the Golden Rnle.
I shall continna these papers for the benefit
of all concerned, believing it is to the interest
of the public to understand the characters of
those who rob and rale them in Washington.
Natoleon's Restoration.—Colonel Dnncan’s
opinion on this head, as reported by tho World,
is as follows:
“Shortly before I left London I dined with a
member of the imperial family, who explained
to- n.e some of the views which are now held by
the imperialists. It is looked on as certain
that the imperial government will be restored.
France has bnt two parties, the imperialist and
the red republican. The Bourbons are nowhere.
Everything looks favorable for a restoration of
the imperial power. The governments of
Europe are in favor of it. for they see that the
disturbed condition of France is. a perpetual
menace to Enropean order; and they know
that Napoleon was able when at the head of
affairs to keep the elements of disorder under.
I have gathered this impression from many of
the foreign diplomatists whom I have met
abroad. It is the opit-ion of our own legation
that the Emperor is likely to be restored, and
that it would be popular with the European po
tentates."
The custom of wearing cadet buttons has been
given np by tho indignant belles at West Point
since Cadet Smith presented some of his to a
lady of color.
bnt
Tire Radicals Against Grant
dust Take Him.
Dana, tho editor of the New York Sun, in the
issue of that papor of Tuesday’s dato, writes as
follows:
An extensive journey through the Northwes
tern States has brought ns into contaot with
many Republicans, both of those who count as
leaders in the party, and those who have long
been proud to follow its flag and vote for its
candidates.
We have been astonished at the unanimity of
sentiment which prevails respecting the nomi
nation of Useless S. Grant as a candidate for
the Presidency in 1872. All deprecate it as the
worst calamity that conld possibly befall the
Repnblican cause. But very many if not most
of those Republicans fear that the power of
Grant’s officeholders may force him npon the
party, notwithstanding the certainty of his de
feat in the election. We regret to be obliged to
add that ontside of the great and gallant State
of Illinois, the number of those who propose to
make an open and decisive resistance to the base
design of the officeholders is bnt small.
