In the MasaacbnseUs ltadieal Slate Convention yesterday, the vote for the gnlernatorial candi date stood—WashbnrneCI3, Butler 464—defeat ing Bailer by 179 majority. BaUtr then gave in Ms submission, and tho etneute is at an end. jjirM awn Dr.au.—We me that tho Cuban in- snrreclion is dead again. It has been extinguished a great many times. Iodeed, the energy of the Spanish in asserting that the Cu ban insurrection is dead, iseqoaUcdonlyby the vigor of the English in assuring ns that Dr. Liv ingstone if alive and “slowly working bis way from Bjiji." Russia axt> Gmuisr —A Vienna correspond ent of the New York Herald profassts to give the text of the material part of a treaty concluded between Germany and Russia during the siege of Paris j by wMeb, in event of the interference of Austria in tho pending war, the two powers agreed to club together and portion Austria out between themselves. Tint Parr a»n Rome.—rio Nino declares he intends to die in Rome, and that Ms successors for thousands of years will also hr—the their last in the F/ernal City. He thinks, and all the Cardinals agroo with Mm in opinion, that tho Cslbolie Cburcb cannot survive the permanent abacnao from Rome of him who is Its pontifical hoad and Christ's only Vicegerent on Earth. A Goon Tcurnan.—Tho English papers hold up King Amadeus as a model in prigs to and public life—an anchorite in a fat kitchen. He 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 vicious rulers since the advent of the 15tb cen tury, lies given them a model King. But it is donbtf ul whether they can abide him. Tux Pot Botrivn.—The pot in Atlanta Is be ginning to boll with some violence. Faster Blodgett is nndcr arrest as “a common cheat and swindler." Ben Hill oomes ont in an ad dress to the Legislature, showing (in a blind way) how ho saved the State from yet another reconstruction, under promise of good behavior on onr part. Wo will print the address to-mor row. And lastly, tho Atlanta New Era and Sun are hard at work on the New Departure, so- called. In a abort time the “kiver” of the At lanta pot will begin to dance. Meanwhile, “Pease and Ms Wife” arc still on hand. Hum Times m GnxAT Barrera.—The London correspondent of the World in five columns de velops* the remit of an interview with Mr. Charles Bradlsngh. The sum ana sota it all la that the Queen is the last monarch of Great Britain, and that she is a gene ease “mor- Bl'LJHAjMri&n ns V fbu'l5rent)i leaves her body a Republic will be proclaimed and monar chy pnt to flight at the point of the bayonet, if neoesmry, and no donbt it will bo. The Repub Uean conglomerate wliioh will follow will be marvel in its way. Mr. Charles Bradlsngh is heavy man, and be says that even now he holds the life of tho monarchy in the hollow of bis hand. 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 of Georgia during the absence of Bishop Per- ,ico, is seriously ill from fevor at his residenoe in Savannah. • 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. After a few days, Frederick Douglass, meet ing me on the quay, —id sadly: “If this is all my oolored fellow-men have been able to do in —venty years, God help the race!” Thx ArmiWl AND CHATTANOOGA KAILEOAD 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. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS FOR THE UTILE FOLKS.
