Telegraph & Messenger. 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 absurdity is lertainly n new connt in th. j n . 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. R. V. Reid, Seo'y. lilt: GKIIKUIl I’KESN. 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 lanta. Some of tho red hots are cooling down amaz- ingly—tide the Rome Commercial of Tuesday. By tho first frost wo think all of them will have simmered down to a seasonable and reasonable temperature. DIED.
