Telegraph & Messenger. SATURDAY MORNING. AUGUST 13, 1871. Nens Items. 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 rive in Savannah, Monday, from Baltimore, and will bo interred in Lanrel Grove Cemetery. 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.
