THURSDAY MORNING. AUGUST 81, 1871
News It phis.
The Female Crispins.—The female shoemak
ers of Lynn were enjoying themselves last week
in a series of mass meetings denonncing their
employers, who insist on two weeks’ notice
before they qmt work. Tbo resolutions would
do credit to Wendell Phillips. They are models
in the way of “a setting down." The speeches
were still more exooriating. If the boBs shoe
makers do not give in now they are equally
fearless and obstinate.
Poisoning.—The rage for poisoning seems to
have extended to the Northern negroes. Last
week a colored woman in Port Chester, New
York, was under investigation for poisoning her
daughter—a married woman—the wife of one
James Anthony.
The Rising in Spain.—Don Carlos, who is
now running the Ells Restaurant and Family
Grocery on Mulberry street, wishes it under
stood that he has nothing to do with the pres
ent Carliat rising in Spain. He has enough on
bis hands receiving goods and furnishing up for
a trade campaign this winter, without meddling
with Spanish politics. The men who aro using
his namo to justify their raid into Spain are
imposters.
Health or Charleston.—Tho Republican, of
Monday, takes a very cheerful view of the situ
ation. That paper says tho fever has not yet
become epidemic. Only a few new cases have
been reported for the past two or threo days,
and these of a mild typo and dne simply to local
causes. Meanwhile, vigorous efforts to cleanse
and disinfect all nnclean localities are in pro
gress, and the people aro calm and unapprehen
sive.
We hope tho Charleston papers will print
daily official reports of tho condition. This
they should do strictly os a defensive measure.
Tho plain, actual truth, whatever it may be, is
better for the city than rumors which will cer
tainly supply its place, if tho facts aro withheld.
We are hopeful that tho disease will prove merely
spasmodic, and all anxiety abate in a few days.
No Harm to be Clean, but really our con
temporaries in Montgomery and Selma seem
to us over keen in tbeir scent of danger, when
they speak of thoir liability to fover infection
from Charleston.
The Suez Canal.—Ferdinand de Lesscps,
President of the Suez Canal Company, has,
under date of July 24tb, 1871, written a letter
to a prominent citizen of New York, refuting
tho statement that the Suez Canal is filling np,
and will probably become useless. Do Lesseps
assorts (hat the deposits of sand brought m by
tho wind aro insignificant, and that the sides of
the basin aro so solid that the outlines project
ing at different points, after eighteen months’
nse, present scarcely a perceptiblo variation in
tbo conformation of the slope. 'Ibis state of
affairs, it is said, was recently reported to a gen
eral meeting of the stockholders.
Improved Huckleberries.—In our timo tho
polito way of spelling them used to bo “ whor
tleberries’’—but now they have como down to
plain “huckleberries.” What wo want to say is
that in Stafford, Virginia, they have crossed tho
native berry with a wild sour berry found orig
inally in South Florida, and are now producing
a huckleberry larger than fox grapes which
they manufacture into a splendid wine. The
color of the berry is a deep purple.
Newspapebs in Montooitebt.—Tho Advertiser
prints a list of the newspapers which have
been started and perished in Montgomery np to
the year 18GC. There aro only twenty nine of
them. Mncon can beat that.
The Tangipahoa Advocate (Rad.) complains
that the blacks of both sexes in Amite Parish
go in bathiDg in purit naluralibus and don’t
UlunD. Tho i&afjirallUU uf tllC Dflllut does not
save them from going back to barbarism.
Tlutt “Strictly Confidential” Pam
phlet Again.
Wo find in Wednesday morning’s mail ample
confirmation of the uses to which that bogus
and fraudulent secession pamphlet noticed yes
terday aro to be applied. The New York Her
ald of Sunday is flaming with it. That paper
copies it in fall, and treats it gravely, as really
the produotionof “one of the most distinguished
of Georgia's statesmen" and charges it upon Mr.
Stephens.
We hazard nothing in the assertion that the
Herald, if he does not know better, is at least
morally certain that tho pamphlet is not the
work of Mr. Stephens, or of any other man
holding fealty or affection to the Sonth. It is
the work of a base plotter in the interests of the
Grant Radicals, and intended still farther to
poison and exasperate the minds of the North
ern people against the unhappy Sonth. It is
strictly in the lino of Morton's tactics for the
next Presidential election, and is designed to
*«-operato with tho Ku-klux reports and mani-
f0*008 in hinging the whole canvass on section-
el 1-stility, and rousing to new life and ardor
tho Mouldering embers of civil strife.
tl New York and Northern Democracy fail
to track llig pamphlet back to its secret, false
and mftliL, nt
sources, and bring them to the
light of ri- ( j a y i they will be untrue to them-
onlvoa and * heir country; and if, on the other
an , they stw be a ble to expose these wretch-
od p otters—th^ trade** j n national discord,
disorder and oax^ they wiu in that single
act have laid bart 0 |he scorn of ftU patriotio
an right-minded v, a> t roo animus of the
Grant and Morton
• Tho Herald calls th Astounding Pro-
gramme-though perfo. abiU rd!" and then
proceeds to say that “it a, ^ the Mr _ mar1cs
of a Southern manifesto, and to declare that
it harmonizes strictly with be course of Mr.
Stephens in the Atlanta Sun,^ the speeches
of Mr. Jefferson Davis. Mr. Stepps and “the
South" will hardly thank him lor t^ comp li.
ment. Whatever may have been h* eto fore
charged to Southern statesmanship, l \erfeet

dictment, Onljonce does the Herald beto.
its conviction that the pamphlet is an emanation
of Radical villainy, and that is in the last sen
tence of his editorial-
“If there is any m® within this call who
knows that this is not ^Southern manifesto let
him speak; for we learn that this pamphlet is
even now in course of attribution to all the
known friends of the “hst cause”—North
South, East and West.
That, perhaps, is sufficient U show the moral
conviction of the Herald. We dd no t “know”
that this was not a Southern maHfesto but he
felt as sure of tho fact as we do. Ve repeat
let Northern Democrats trace this foil conspi-
racy to its source and hold up its authors to the
reprobation of mankind.
Tlic Next Legislature.
Wo think the people of Georgia may safely
congratulate themselves upon tho accomplish
ment of much hard and useful work by the Leg
islature that will assemble on the first day of
November next. From what we know and hear,
it has been already determined that economy
shall be the watchword - " in every department it
can reach. There will be no jobs and no steal
ing, under any sort of cover, no matter how
specious. Somo members may waste time
and money in foolish prattle for prattle s sake
and to hear the sound of their own voices, but
they will hardly waste it in any other way. The
men who are “on the make” in the next Legis
lature, if, indeed, there bo any outside the few
Radicals who have seats therein, will have
small show and less countenance from the vast
majority of their fellows. Whatever may be the
faults of omission or commission with which the
future shall credit this Legislature, we feel very
confident that what is known in trewly loyl par-
lance as “developing the people’s resources"
will not bo among them. Snrely this will be
a wonderful and most welcome step forwards,
when contrasted with the corrupt practices and
shameful profligacy of tho things called Legisla
tures that have ruled and robbed tbe tax payers
of Georgia since the reconstruction deviltry was
sot np among us.
As to the particular measures that will come
before the Legislature as matters demanding
speedy and earnest action, and reform from the
root up, wo do not deem their enumeration
necessary at this time. We think, though, that
tho first step in the great work ought to com
mence with fixing the per diem and mileage of
the members themselves, the number and pay
of the employees of the two Houses, and the
profits of the public printing business. These
matters will necessarily require early consider,
ation, and if tho right start is made with them,
the chances are that the same policy will pre
vail on other questions, and to the end. Five
dollars a day and actual travelling expenses
are ample compensation for members, and that
per diem for clerks is every cent that sort of
service is worth. The clerk, messenger and door
keeper service of both Honses should not cost
one dollar over $5,000 even with a sixty days
session. As to the pnblio printing, a great leak
can and must be stopped there. A great deal of
illegitimate money has been made ont of it
since 18G8,butif the Legislature does its duty—
and our faith is very lively that it will—no more
will flow into anybody’s pocket from this source.
Wo don’t know who is after this little plum,
nor do we care ; bnt we think we may safely
assure them that it will not be near eo desirable
as under the trewly loyl regime. The State’s
printing ought not to cost any more than any
private individual's or corporation’s printing,
especially at this time of financial stress. Let
the Legislature in this, as in all other matters
remember how poor the people ore, and they
cannot go very far wrong. We have abiding
confidence that results will demonstrate that
onr, and the people’s faith in its good intentions
has not been misplaced.
Senatorial Noin'nutlon.
The Secretary of tho Convention held yester
day at Forsyth, to nominate a candidate for tho
22d Senatorial District for the present unex
pired term, famishes us with the following pro
ceedings. It will be seen that onr most worthy
townsman, CoL T. J. Simmons, received the
nomination by acclamation, and in thus honor
ing Col. S., the Convention honored itself. Tho
Colonel is a young representative man, fall of
lusty life, able and discreet. He was sent to
the Convention of 18G5 from Crawford connty,
and after the adjournment of the Convention
was elected to represent the 23d Senatorial
District in the Legislature of 1865 G6. We be
lieve that ho will be again elected by a large
majority i
FoRSixn, Angnol 30, 1871
The Convention of the Democratic party to
nominate a candidate to represent the 22d Sen
atorial District for the present nnexpired term,
mat at this place at 11 a. m. to-day. Upon mo
tion of L. A. Ponder, of Monroe,T. G. Holt, Jr.,
of Bibb, was elected Chairman, and R. V. Reid,
of Pike, Secretary.
On the callaof counties the following list of
delegates was reported: Bibb—T. J. Simmons,
J. H. Blount, T. G. Holt, Jr., O. D. Findlay, R.
W. Cubbedgo, C. M. Wiley. Monroe—R. G,
Anderson, J. T. Crowder, L. A. Ponder, T. J.
Fletcher. Pike—E. H. Bloodworth, R. V. Reid.
Upon motion of J. H. Blonnt, each connty
was allowed double the number of votes to
which it was entitled in the lower branch of the
General Assembly.
Upon motion of L. A. Ponder, it was re
solved that a two-thirds vote should be neces
sary in a choice of candidates.
It was declared to be the sense of the Con
vention that Pike connty was entitled to the
nomination; bnt owing to local issues the dele
gation from that county waived the privilege,
and asked that Bibb county be requested to
present a name to the Convention, charging the
term to Pike. Monroe acquiesced in the prop
osition. whereupon J. H. Blonnt, in behalf of
the Bibb delegation, presented the name of T.
J. Simmons, of Bibb.
On motion of R. G. AndersoB, T. J. Sim
mons of Bibb, was nominated unanimously by
acclamation. T. J. Simmons haring been in
troduced to the Convention by a committee, ac
cepted the nomination in a brief but graceful
address.
Upon motion of J. T. Crowder, it was ordered
that the proceedings be published in the papers
of the district.
Upon motion of J. T. Crowder, the Conven
tion adjourned. T. G. Holt, Jr., Chm’n.

Ku klux in Maine.—The following detain 0 f
a rof-ent Ku klux outrage in that portion of the
Radical vineyard called the State of Maine, is
copied from the New York Tribune :
party of young men, disguised a la
Ku-klux, compelled another young man named
Leonard Jackson to go to the cemetery, to kneel
upon tbe grave of a woman recently buried
there, and to ask her forgiveness of some injurv
not stated. The lynchers then threw Jackson
into a mud puddle by way of farther pnrgatiou.
leaving him there partly covered with stones!
He was helped home by some neighbors, aud
is still in a precarious state. Now if there be
any reason why the scoundrels who thus violated
the peace should not be sent to the House of
Correction, pray what is it?"
Now if there be any reason why Mr. Grant
should not put Maine under martial law by vir
tue of the Kn-klux bill, pray what is it ? Can, or
will the Tribune tell us ?
A Specimen of Chicago Reverence
for the Bible.
We reprint the following from the Chicago
Times of th9 21st inst.:
The Macon Telegraph, a Georgia newspaper
concern that appears to come down to the pres
ent time with ideas borrowed from an era con
siderably anterior to tho scriptural deluge, talks
of negro slavery as “a system sanctioned by the
Great Jehovah himself, under which our fathers
prospered so much, and were universally recog
nized as the noblest type of the hnman race.”
Bnt this was not the only “peculiar institution,”
which, if we believe all that one reads in the
productions of the ancient Hebrew scribes, was
“sanctioned by the Great Jehovah.” There is
rather convincing evidenoe that Hormonism
was one of the sanctioned systems of that re
mote age and peculiar people; and some of the
piratical exploits of that prince of freebooters.
King David, though evidently “sanctioned,”
btlie historians aro trustworthy, would hardly
mbit with enoonragement from the civilization
of the present time. Are tho newspapers at
Maeoa, u Georgia, aware of the fact that this
is the nineteenth century of the Christian era
Do they ttunk Methuselah is still living?
We are indeed painfnlly admonished of the
fact that “this is the nineteenth century,” by
the blasphemy and ribaldry of this Chicago
editor, who is a fitting representative of the
modern Sodom, where, judging from divorce
laws and reoords, even one wife is regarded
nuisance, and free lore is the order of the day.
We suppose his “civilization of the present
time” means “the higher law,” spiritualism,
bloomerism, miscegenation, and last, bnt not
least, universal suffrage for women, negroes,
Chinese, Indians and pardoned criminals.
ii these are the reforms which are to supplant
and snveed the holy oracles of God, onr Chi
eago mat.ig welcome to the whole batch. We
of the SocL are satisfied with the bible as it is,
and only mour*. the departure politically from
the Constitution of 0 ur fathers.
A couple of festive youths of the African per
suasion rocked a train on tho Katonlon branch
railway one day last week, but the conductor
stopped the train, the passengers got out and
caught them, and organizing a syndicate, ad
ministered a sound thrashing.
A gentleman stopping at the Eatonton hotel
was robbed of $75 one night last week by a
negro employee, who was arrested and pnt in
jail. Forty or fifty dollars were recovered.
The Savannah News, of Tuesday, says:
The Atlantic and Gulp Railroad *tt. Right
Again—News from Other Roads South.—The
Atlantic and Gnlf Railroad is still cut in two,
mnch to the inconvenience of the people along
the route. Superintendent Haines with a large
force of workmen is engaged along the line, mak
ing every effort to place the road in good order.
From the last accounts received in this city (at
6:30 p. m. yesterday) we learn that there are
still two impassable washes, and that the trains
on each end of the line cannot approach nearer
than a mile of each other, and that transfers
will have to be made by means of hand-cars
across the washes. The washes are at the Great
Satilla river and at a culvert a mile west of the
bridge. It is expected that by to-night the road
will be passable and that no further delay will
be occasioned.
Trains left last night on regular schedule timo,
and transfers will be made early in the morning.
The train due yesterday arrived about twelve
o’clock last night. We hope to be able by onr
next issue to report the entire line of road in
good order.
From the Florida Railroad we have advices
that nearly every culvert and bridge is destroyed,
nnd that it will be several days before trains can
be run over the road.
The Jacksonville, Pensacola and Mobile Rail
road is reported to be in a fair condition, bnt
still not in as good repair as before the storm.
The Savannah Advertiser, of Tuesday, says
the Charleston train of the night before was al
lowed to enter the city without being inspected
or fumigated by the Health Officer, which neg
ligence is severely condemned.
New crop oranges from Florida have made
their appearance in the Savannah market
We clip tho following items from the Savan
nah News, of Tuesday:
Death be Laudanum.—An inquest was held
yesterday by Dr. B. F. Sheftall, coroner, on the
body of Mr. James F. Murphy, of this city, who
died from the effects of an overdose of lauda
num administered by himself on Sunday. We
learn that Mr. Murphy was fonnd on Sunday
afternoon by some friends lying in the street,
and they supposing that he was only overcome
by drink, took him into a store near by and laid
him down where he could sleep off its effects.
They rotumed several times, and the last time
fonnd him frothing at the mouth. Dr. Charl
ton was immediately called in, and pronounced
him in a dying condition, the laudanum having
taken such effect on his system as to render it
useless to use an antidote. Everything how
ever was done that could be to save him, but
without avail, and he died yesterday momiDg at
o’clock.
Death of a Merchant.—Wo regret to an
nounce the death of Mr. Seymour, of the firm
of W. M. Bird &, Co., of this city and of Charles
ton, which occurred in the latter place yesterday.
Mr. Seymour was a nephew of Ex-Governor Ho
ratio Seymour, of Now York, and of the late Gov
ernor Seymour, of Connecticut, of which last
named State he was a native, though he served
throughout the war in the Southern army. He
leaves a wife, to whom he was married but a
few months, and many friends to mourn his
early decease.
We qnote, ns follows, from the ^Republican,
same date:
The Storm in Florida.—All accounts, both
private and official, which have reached ns rel
ative to the storm in Florida, represent the
damage done as fearful. We conversed with a
gentleman who reached here yesterday by a
round-about route, who says that the whole
country is under water. All the springs have
closed up in consequence, and the damage to
the crops has been incalculable. The train
which left hero at 10:15 Sunday night had not
reached its destination yesterday at 5 p. m., and
it is supposed that it has been stopped by break
ages in the road, resulting from the deluge of
waters which has fallen daring tho last two days.
The wires are down, and no telegraphio com
munication has reached the railroad authorities
’flflarrling ihA oonao nf thn
Narrow Escape.—On Sunday afternoon the
child of Sheriff Bartlielmess, while attending
the Sunday-school at the Lutheran Church, had
a very narrow escape of her life under the fol
lowing circumstances: She had gone to the
church in company with a y onng lady, and while
in the act of leaving the ohurch she stepped
through the opening between the gallery floor
and the window, and was precipitated below, a
distance of fourteen feet. Fortunately, or we
shonid say providentially, no bones were broken
and beyond some sovere braises no serious in
jury was sustained. What is somewhat singu
lar,* coincidently, is the fact that exactly two
years ago, when this little child was two years
of age, she came near meeting her death by fall
ing from the stoop of her father’s house to tho
pavement below, a distanco of fifteen feet, with
out sustaining any serious injury.
Damage to the Rice Crop.—The damage to
the rice crop, from the recent storms prevail
ing in this vicinity, has been more serious than
was at first anticipated. Tho forward rice,
which had been cut and was lying in the fields
stacked, was totally swept away. We have seen
letters from two heavy planters, who estimate
their loss of the grain thus harvested in the
aggregate between eight and nine thousand
bushels. Othor planters have doubtless lost cor
respondingly. The growing crop, not cut, has
not been so generally destroyed, bnt baa been
seriously injnxedbotb in the head and the straw,
from long continuance of the wind and water.
Milledgeville has worms—lots of them—about
an inch long, which are eating np all the grass
in and around that place.
The Savannah River at Augusta measured
seventeen feet six inches Monday evening, and
was still boomiDg. Crops in the bottoms were
regarded as in danger of serious damage.
Mr. Jefferson Bridwell, living on the Mil
ledgeville road thirteen miles from Augusta,
was shot and killed, Sunday evening, by one of
his neighbors, Mr. Jessie Hendricks. Hen
dricks made his escape.
The Columbus Enquirer of Tuesday says
Important Chattahoochee River Improve
ment—Railroad Extension to Pensacola and
Mobile.—A party of 35 or 40 Western stone
masons and bridge builders, under charge of
Mr. C. L. Chase, were in Colnmbus on Sunday
en route for Chattahoochee, Fla., to work upon
the railroad and steamboat wharf at that place,
being built under the auspices of the Jackson
ville, Pensacola and Mobile Railroad. These
mechanics will be met at Chattahoochee by as
many more, who have gone via Florida.
From Capt L. E. O’Keefe, who is well posted
in the plans of the company, we learn that these
mechanics are going to work at once on a splen
did covered rock wharf, capable of sheltering
2,000 bales of cotton, which will at farthest be
completed by the 15th of October, by which
time tho link from Quincy to Chattahoochee
will certainly be completed. After the wharf
is finished, the workmen will proceed at once
the erection of a railroad draw-bridge fifty feet
high across the river at that point, with a view
to the immediate extension of the road on
Pensacola and Mobile, the company having
made all their financial arrangements for a vig
orous prosecution of this work. The Barnett
Line of steamers will run in connection with
this road daring the ooming season, commenc
ing as soon as the road reaches Chattahoochee,
Atlanta has finished a mile of her street rail
chest, two or three limes on tho shoulder and
three limes on tho head, sovorely, though not
dangerously. After Berry got out on tho pave
ment and was going down Line street, Smith
shot throe limes at him without eff ect. Smith
was carried home and is attended by Dr. Lon
Orme. He is doing very well.
The trial of Millar, the alleged cheater and
swindler of the State, is still in progress in At
