A Goon Tcurnan.—Tho English papers hold

seta a fine table and eats tho plainest food
keeps choice win— for Mb gnosis and drinks
water like o pood fellow or a good templar
spends money freely for others, hut uses it spar
ingly for himself. In short. Providence, as if
to compensate Spain for an nnhrokcn lino of

Guxxx.—We see by tho Savannah Morning
Now*, of Wednesday, that the venerable octo
genarian at the head of that paper, is merry
over onr recommendation to the planter, to
aave crab grass hay, instead of buying an infe
rior substitute in the towns at two dollars
hundred. Wo love to see onr friend enjoying
Ms “gTeen old age,” and still in possession of
that genial humor which can extract food for
mirth even ont of crab grass. When we wrote
that little paragraph, which has furnished him
a oolmun of fun, we had no idea of providing
food for Thompson. We were looking out for the
mnlea: but ainoo Thompson has slipped hia bri
die and got into the lot, let him take his fill of
crab grata, too. The difference between Thomp
son and a male is not great enough to make a
fa— about; and th—e are times when distinc
tions on aeoount of “oolor, race and previous
condition," are inadmissible,
Woman Bctoaue. — Massachusetts, which
now-a-dsya shapes our politics, “rough hew
them as we will," has solemnly resolved in State
Cenvuntion “that woman suffrage requires a
respectful and careful consideration.” This is
as small a sop to the strong-minded^Cerberns as
the convention dared to give, and plants another
mile post in the road of that kind or progreu
which characterizes the day. What next? Prob-
ably the convention of 1872 or that of 1873, will
lead off in a demand for the suffrage. Then
the example of Massachusetts will be followed
by the Western Slates, one by one, and this
fanaticism, perhaps, will grow faster than negro
emancipation. And what is more strange, it will
probably grow contrary to the opinions and the
wish— of the groat body of American women.
Not one in a hundred of them either demand
or would wittingly accept the suffrage. A few
noisy politicians of both sex— assnme to repre
sent the voice of Amerioan women, bat they
misrepresent and belie it The women of
Amerioa are totally averse to plunging into poli-
ti—, bnt the misfortune of the situation is that
they must first take np polities i a order to keep
ont of them. They most demonstrate in some
wsy, that the suffrage ia nnaoeeptoble to them,
in order to alienee the batteries of the political
adventurers who claim the sanction of their sex.
This involves agitation-politlsal meetings-
debates—speeches and much of the
machinery of politics; and so, one may say, the
women will be foreed to go into politics in order
to keep out of them.
Thx Ruling Ipu.—A learned and aagaciona
friend, who has spent the summer at Northern
watering places and listened a great deal and
said little, uys the fnndsmentalidea of Northern
politic* is suspicion and jealousy of the South
ern whites, and it is, perhaps, more settled than
It has been. The declaration of Mr. Davis in
Ms Atlanta speech that he “accepted nothing"
waa regarded universally as* formal declaration
of eternal and nneeasing war, which lacked
only a favorable conjuncture of dreumstanoes
ho^t^ i ‘S r /i^ i !“ the f 8h * po of,nntd
nonmue*. The oppoarUon of a portion of the
Northern Democrats and embltten°othJ“ ^
yond a doubt, a platform in harmony wi lh Boor
bon ideas would not only leas the BresidenUai
election, (wMch in foot may be considered a
pretty desperate eaee already) bat it would
probably sink the party in the House below a
minority of one-third. However, next to this
general distrust of tbs Southern people, the
most active element in Northern political eir-
el— is mutual hatred and suspicion. There
never was a time in party history when more
furious and ireeooneilablo intestine strifes and
personal hostilities prevailed, and it is not im
probable after the next Fresidcnttel election
chaos will oome again.
THE GEORGIA l’HKSS.
The Chronicle and Sentinel, of Wednesday,
says trains on the Macon and Augusta railroad
“will probably not run through before tho mid
dle of this week.”
The cotton crop prospect in the eastern por
tion of Georgia seems as gloomy as in this and
other portions of the State. The Chronicle and
Sentinel, of Wednesday, says:
From all parts of the ootton growing region
we have accounts of serious damage to the oot
ton crop by the late heavy and eontinned reins.
The extreme moisture h— produced “rot,” and
in large districts the open ootton baa actually
sprouted in the bolls. We —w yesterday sam
ples of tbe effect of the excessive moisture, on
several stalks of cotton, sent to ns from Union
Point, which shows that the injury reoeived by
the crop has been quite considerable. Quito a
number of grown bolls In the stalks we ex
amined bad been destroyed by tbe “rot,” while
all the smaller or immature “bolls” were hope
lessly lost,
Mr. W. T. Walters, of Baltimore, who repre
sents tbe Pennsylvania Central Bailway inter
est in tbe Charlotte, Colombia and Augusta
Railway, has been unanimously elected a Direc
tor In the latter road. It is said that the Penn
sylvania road now owns a controlling interest in
tho Charleston, Columbia and Augusta Rail
road.
The deaths in Savannah during the week
ending Monday, the 25th rnst., were 20, against
82 the corresponding week in 1870.
Rev. Patrick Knar—borough, the eminent
Catholio divine who has charge of the dioeeae

The schooner Sophie, Captain Banker, bound
from New York for Brunswick, with an assorted
cargo of merchandise, went ashore on the east
aide of Wolfe’s Island last Saturday night.
Mr. John Odom, one of the oldest and most
r—peoted farmers of Muscogee county, died
near Wimberly station, Southwestern Railroad,
on Tuesday morning, aged 72 years. He was
originally from Washington, Wilkes county.
The editor of the Valdosta Times has been
to Saras nab, recently, bnt stayed only one
day, owing to “a hot fever” contracted not very
far from the News office. Whether it was Harris’
hair, or “the hair of the dog” that is sometimes
called “Artillery punch,"thatcausodthtefebrile
disturbance we are not informed.
An old man named John Taylor was shot and
severely wounded, at Angusta, on Tuesday, on
by a man named Samnel Roland. Taylor was
advancing on Roland with hash-making intern
lions, when the latter fired.
Wo elip the following from tho Auguste Con
stitutionalist, of Wednesday:
Accident on tee Chaelotte, Columbia asd
Augusta Uailboad.—We lesra that a serious
aocident occurred on the Charlotte, Columbia
and Augusta Railroad, about ten miles above
Lexington, S. O., Monday night. The accident
happened to tbe night train from Augusta, wMch
was turning a curve, when tbe baggage car was
thrown violently from the track and dragged
about one hundred and fifty yards. Tbe car
was completely demolished, as also wore its con
tents. Two of tho brekemen were badly bruis
ed, one of them hiving bis scalp partly tom
from his head. Tho passengers proceeded to
Lexington in three box care which were forward
of tho baggage —r, and had safely passed the
carve. No defect could be detected in the track,
and the supposition is that tbo accident was
caused by the fast rate of speed at which the
train was running.
An Outbaoe and Summaby Punishment or
the PEKOTBATon.—On last Friday as a party of
sohool girls were returning from school to their
homes near Madison, Georgia, thoy were at-
ta’ckod by a negro who seized one of their num
ber, a girl of abont sixteen, daughter of a Meth
odist minister near that plaoe, snd dragged her
into the adjoining woods. The others fled
screaming to their homes, a mile distent, and
informed their parents of the affair. A party
of men immediately made all haste to the scene
of the outrage, where they found tbo poor girl
in convulsions, tho fiendish perpetrator having
made his escape. The girl was taken np and
carried to bor home, where she has been lying
almost at tho point of death since. Saturday,
the negro, who had been recognized by tho
other girls, boldly walked into Madison, and
waa at once arrested and taken before a magis
trate, by whom be was committed to jail before
the Superior Court.
Saturday night a party of disguised men pro
needed to the jail, bnt wero unable to effect an
entrance, tbe Sheriff who had the key baviDg
bid himself. Monday night nnother band, about
fifty in number, surprised tho Sheriff, took the
key from him, entered the jail, and riddled
the negro who had oommitted the onlnge, with
pistol balls. They then departed quietly. The
Sheriff, who went to the jail after they bad left,
found the negro lying in a corner of Ms cell,
dead. His heart was perforated ny several
Thomas J. Goins has been finding a bed of
ballets near Barneoville, and has already taken
oat nine pounds. Better let ’em go, Goins.
Tbe McLaughlin case—embezzlement of
postofficc fnnds—took np all Wednesday in the
United States District Court at Atlanta. Tbe
jury were to have rendered a verdict yesterday.
The possessory warrant sued ont against
Messrs. Bedwine, Bawson, and Hammock, the
presont custodians of the State Road books and
papers, by the great railroad informer, McCalls,
has been withdrawn.
Upon tbe affidavit of 0. P. McCalls, Footer
Blodgett was are—ted at Atlanta, on Wednes
day, charged with being “a common cheat and
swindler” in that he has “defranded, cheated,
and swindled the Western and Atlantic railway
out of $33,316 10.”
Says tbe Atlanta Sun, of y—terday:
H. I. K. Heabd Fbom.—The report was cur
rant on the streets yesterday that Mr. H. J.
Kimball will, in a few days, return to Atlanta
loaded with cash. And further, that while in
Earope he bad succeeded in —teblishiog a line
of steamers between Liverpool and Brunswick.
This is news 1 We have all along experienced
a painfnl nn easiness abont Mr. K.—feeling that
nothing bnt a line of steamers aero— tbe Atlan
tic would make Mm happy.
The Hawkinsville Dispatch says some “deed
beats,” who were with Wooten <fc Haight’s cir
cus, spoiled the colored PMliatines of that town
right and left during the recent visit of that in
stitution. Ono man and brother had a gold
watch worth $125 Hodged.
Tho Dispatch says:
Nxono Bot Mubdebxd by His Stip.Fathxb-
On Monday last some of the freedmen employed
on the plantation of Mr. Murdoch Wilcox came
to town snd reported that a negro man named
Nero Rogers had that day whipped his step-son
to death. Mr. Wilcox reported the oase to Dr.
John Laidler, who, as Coroner of the county,
summoned a jury on Tn—day morning and went
ont to investigate the matter. A thorough ex
amination waa mode of the body, wMch revealed
the fact that he had been beaten in a most ernel
and inhuman manner at intervals for a number
of days. Several witnesses testified that the
boy’s step-father had used upon him a paddle
about two feet long, and that on Monday morn
ing the boy ate his breakfast and went to the
ootton field; that during the forenoon Rogers
whipped Mm unmercifully, and the boy was
taken sick snd had to be conveyed borne, where
he died before three o'clock. The freedmen npon
the place wore so unanimous in their opinions that
tbe death of the hoy was the result of ernel whip-
ring, they determined to report Rogers and have
um arrested, bnt he fled from tbe plantation
and has not since been heard of. His step-son
was abont 12 years of sge.
Dr. Laidler informs ns that be has never seen
a human body ao gashed and scarred as was this
boy’s. From his stomach to bis feet were large
sores several days old, made fresh by recent
whipping and nearly the entire body was bruised
in a most shocking and cold blooded manner.
Tnz Macon Txxxoaarn says: “The Atlanta
locals say the mosquitoes are intolerable up at
that famous ‘summer resort.’ Now, we can ac
count for our missing stock.” True. There ia
not a mosquito in Atlanta that did not arrive on
the Macon and Western trains; and when they
get here they are the worst famished little
wretch— the world ever saw. Macon blood is
getting too thin, and Macon hides loo (hick to
l urnish comfortable subeistenoe to the most en
terprising mosquitoes.—Atlanta Sun.
Better thick hides than dirty ones. Onr mos
quito— ore not of the subsoil species, so we fear
they’ll give np Atlanta as a bad job. What's
the price of soap?
Ono of Grant’s San Domingo C'om-
missioarrs on lire naytl Darkles—
Wbat Frederick Douglas Said.
Dr. Samuel G. Howe, of Boston, one of the
Commissioners sent to Stn Domingo by Grant
to help ont bis annexation schemo by a favora
ble report, has recently written a letter to Jas.
nadpath a notorious old abolitionist in old
times, snd now, of course, a trewly loyal man
like Howe—in answer to an attack by Bedpath
on the annexation scheme. The extract quoted
below is certainly not very encouraging to those
knaves and fanatics who pro fees to see such a
glorious prospect ahead for Sambo. Says Howe:
One of tbe moat painful episodes in my life
was a short sojourn in Hayti. I had always
felt a deep interest in the experiment of a ne
gro republic. I came a warm fnend; I wanted
to be on indulgent admirer: but I had seen too
many countries not to feel instinctively, on
landing, that I was no longer among a Demo
cratic people, as I had been, in tbe eastern end
of the island. Moreover, I soon perceived signs
of a reign of terror. The social atmosphere in
dicated a coming storm. The mulattos*, espe
cially, seemed in fear tor their lives; while a
conceited and ferocious aristocracy (based on
color) was everywhere rampant.
Looking abont for signs of hopeful progress,
I found instead, marks of stagnation, if not of
degeneration.

An Edict or a Govebnou Ovzbbxdzs a Judgment
of the Coubts.—The editor of the Chattanooga
Times, on Saturday, acoompaniod General
Clanton and party to Trenton, on the Alabama
and Chattanooga Railroad. They found all the
employees of the road and the people of the
line anxions for the trains tffbo run. Arrived
at Trenton, Gen. Wofford, the receiver ap
pointed by Jndge Parrott, conferred with CoL
Nisbet and Mr. Graham, the agents of Gov
ernor Bollock, and demanded the release of
the road and tho property attached. Cob Nis
bet refused to do so, saying he had been or
dered by Bollock not to givo op the road until
Georgia's debt waa paid, and that a Judge had
no right to make a decision which conflicted
with an edict from the Governor. He would do
nothing without farther orders from Bollock.
Judge Parrott was notified by General Wofford
of the condition of things, and there the matter
stood attest accounts.—Columbus Sun, 27th.
Our information is, that Cob Nisbet and E.
D. Graham, Esq., the parties designated by
Gov. Bollock to take charge of tho Alabama and
Chattanooga Railroad and its property in Dade
connty, in refusing to surrender it to the Re
ceiver appointed by Judgo Pawott, simply acted
under tbe Instructions of the counsel employed
by the State of Georgia. We learn, further,
that the decision of Judge Parrott granting an
injunction and appointing Gen. Wofford receiv
er, at the instance of the State of Alabama, has
been excepted to and carried to the Supreme
Court, where the case will be heard next week;
and that, in the meantime, in addition to innu
merable creditors' suits and bankruptcy proceed-
ings in different States, the Solicitor General of
the Cherokee Circuit has filed a quo warranto
to forfeit the franchis— in Georgia of the Wills
Valley Railroad Company, wMch was merged
into the Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad
Company, tbe hearing on wMch will take place
daring tho November term of Dade Superior
Court. Altogether, this case of tho Alabama
and Chattanooga Railroad bids fair to rival that
of Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce.
