Snn with tbo Oonititntion, the Hon. A. H. Ble-
pbeus publishes a card In the latter paper cf
yesterday, from whloh we extract this:
Tbo readers of the Constltotion will be in
formed elsewhere in its Irene of to-day of an ar-
rengemont bj which the AtlnotA Daily and
Weakly Bon has become merged in, and con
solidated with tbe Oonstilation, and by which
the undersigned baabeoome connected with this
old and letilimr Democratic jonrnal in tbe
South, as rorre-pondiDg editor. Die connec
tion, however, will relate only to the political
department of tbla paper, and only to the ex-
UlI of presenting bis views on all political
question^ to the pnblio an often as be thinks
prope r over bis own initials, as he has hereto
fore done In the Ban.
Toma is a man in Rockdale oonnty who has
COO bnsbels of ear oom for sale. He hasn't
borrowed any money this year, either.
Tn local of the Oolnmbns Ban is responsible
for tbe statement that there are 1800 members
of tbe Baptist church in Colnmbcs, and Us
scross-tbe-river suburb, Girard—800 whites
and 1000 blacks.
Tnz same paper baa these Items:
Ora Bctsxiob Cr.car.—It has been in session
thirty Are days, at an average coat to the Bute
and ccnnty of $90 per day; total oost of tbe
session, $3,150. It will be oontlnned several
dr.ys of this week, commencing Xnosday.
Exnrnro Urourrs.—Several of onr promt
nent cotton men believe we will get a thousand
bale* tbo remainder of the season, making a
total for tbo year of 58,357, an excess of 17,707
bales over 1871-72.

• Ws alncorely regret to learn that Mrs Goeteb-

of the rresbyterian Cbnrob at Miliedgevilie,
died list Batnrdsy in that place. She was
daughter of Mr. A. M. Scndder, of Athena.
Tux Tbomasville Times sums np the crop
outlook in that county with tho remark that
“corn is splendid, and growing so fast yon can
. boar it crack," and that the fight between the
cotton and gears is lively, with tho chanocs in
favor of tho former,
Tnz Bran Cocjrrr Fan.—The Monroe Adver
tiser of yesterday, says tho Bibb Oonnty Fair
held at Maoon last Thursday and Friday, was a
grand success. The attendance was astonish
ingly large, and the extensive and splendid va
riety of articles exhibited reflaots groat credit
upon the people of that oonnty. This reunion
• and comparison of the joint prodaota of mind
and labor, will necessarily excito a spirit of no
ble rivalry and emulation, which will resnlt ben
eflelally to all.
Anirnmo.—A Osrtersville correspondent of
Ihe Atlanta Herald writes (bat tbo ohargo of
criminal intimaoy with a young girl made some
months ainoe agtlnal a Methodist preacher
named Fletcher Weema of that oonnty was
iitely Investigated by a Masonio lodge at Coal
ville and that Weems was acquitted. Tho case
will, however, undergo legal examination.
Tnz Atlanta Herald baa alrnck a blow at the
“ Georgia Press Association." It has actually
withdrawn from tbo Association because the
rules of tbit body prohibit exchange by its
members with “ patent ontsldea,” end the Her-
nld'a prond and soaring spirit refuses to bo fet'
terod by any suoh restrictions. Let ns hope
tbe Press Association will survive tbe blow.
Tna Bzsult cr Tnr Gaazn Tarn, in Eaton-
ton.—An Eatontou correspondent of tbo Savan
nah News writing of the resnlt of the (rial of
Greer for killing Middlebrooks, bis brother-in-
law, in Jasper connly, says :
I understand that Jndgo Hopkins, in passing
tbo aentenoo displayed a good deal of surprise,
to say tbo least uf it, at tho verdict. It la said
that be remarked that O'Neal, who was bnngln
Atlanta recently, wsa not guilty of an offence
no bilaaM a, (list nt hrsar, ale, eta Hoad*
ministered, to tbo prisoner, tbe extromo penalty
of the law. Twenty years, bard labor In tho
penitentiary. In tbe street I have beard a good
deal of dlacnsalon, since tbo trial fa over. It
mnst ho borne in mind that there are two clauses
of lawyers in thta country; ono of which con
sists of thoso who have atndlod tbo old English
masters of tbo common law, ns well na tho pro
ductions of snch intellcotnal giants as Marshall,
Kent, Btory, tt id omni genus; who havo de
voted a good part of their lives to the bnstneea
of interpreting legislative nets. Individuals of
tho other cIukh, however, disdaining snch slow,
• plodding methods, have, while indastriomly
pursuing other avocaUona, without study and
without labor, as to law, arrived at n point far
beyond that to which any common mind can at-
tain with the most dillgont end constant re-
search. Tbo amount of legal loro acquired by
some men, who spend most of tboir livos sitting
nnder Ibo spreading China tree, at street cor
ners, is, to tbo nnlnfotmcd, perfectly astonish
ing. A great many people appear to bo, like
Jndgo Hopkins, disappointed at tbe verdict In
faot, to far as I have observed, tbo feeling is
almost universal. They expected a verdict of
mnrder.
Tnz down passenger train on tbo Romo rail
way ran of tbo track at Baas' Ferry Monday
afternoon, as wo loarn from a telegram in tbo
Atlanta Herald of yoaterday. Conductor Todds'
arm was broken, Mrr_ Bones, of Angnsta,
sllghly bnrt, and several other passengers were
badly braised. A lady passoDgcr's band was
also broken.
Tnz Atlanta Constitution of yoaterday baa a
telegram from Chattanooga annonneing two
deaths from cholera thcro on Sanday night, snd
two moro on Monday morning. Three other
oaaea wero reported.

Tna News tells this story t
Tna MomatN Atmcan Set.vast.—A lady
friend informed na, that n oolored girl applied
to her for Ibo position of oook, bearing that
abe needed one of those valuable auxiliaries to
bonae keeping. Tbe girl answered tbe pur
pose, was engaged, and tho wages decided npon.
The "new" oook then requested to bo shown
tbe room abe was to occnpy. Tbo lady piloted
her to tbs basement and pointed ont a very
comfortable apartment, thaegh not a commo
dious one. Tho oolored damsel viewed tbe
premises oarefnlly, and then shlkiDg ber bead
dubiously said, if that was tbo only room that
oonld be given ber, she didfi't think abe conld
stay. Tbe IsJy, In surprise, inquired why I
when tbe accomplished cook replied, tbs', tbe
room was not largo enongh to aeoommodato ber
“piano and sowing machine,” and abe left.
This is an actnal occurrence; as wo have it
from tbe lady herself.
Atlanta bat made another wondeifnl discov

Vienna Gouge a Failure.
A Vienna correspondent of a New York pa
per writes a cheering report of the grand break
down of the Vienna conspiracy to shave tbe
world by exorbitant charges for accommoda
tions:
Tbe disappointment of tbe hotel keepers at
tbe non arrival of strangers is very great
Tbe hotel at which we are stopping, a new
and elegantly furnished establishment, has
not to-day thirty rooms occupied, and these
at rates leas than one-third what they charged
at tbe opening. There is not, it is :-a:d, as
many strangers now in Urn city as there was
daring tbo past winter. Rooms which were
held at two hundred florina per month can
now be bad at forty, and many amnsiDg aneo -
dotes are told by tbe residents of tbe attempts
at extortion that were praotioed. There were
parties here who went aronnd the city and
rented all the rooms they conld get at bigb
rates for six months, and now find them to be
dead slock on their bands. It was these speo
nlatora who caused thoso who bad rooms to
let to imagine that a half dozen rooms would
yield them a fortune, and that they must bold
them for Eogliab, Americans or Russians. A
Germnn applying for a room was insnltcd, and
almost ordered ont of (be boose, os they wero
all held for the rich foreigners who were to
come bero and settlor tbeir money with a lav-
iah band. Those that did come wero frightened
away, and they have spread consternation
among tbe tourists all over England. At tbe
present time rooms can be had at about doable
tbo ordinary rates, and tho restaurants have
ail robtrned to old prioes, except those on the
exposition grounds. These latter are, however,
doing poorly, as visitors merely take a light
Innob and retnrn to tbo oity for tbeir dinners.
It costs ns two dollars oach per day for onr
rooms at the hotel, and abont one dollar and
a half for onr meals at Ihe restaurants. We,
however, have tbe good fortnne to have resi
dent friends bero who know where and how to
proonro the boat tbat tbo city affords at fair
prices, and wo are faring better and more satis
factorily than has been onr experience in any
other European city. The meals fnrnisbed at
tbe hotels aro not as good, and tbe prices charged
aro moro than double. It is, however, Ibongbt
the rnsb of tonrists to Vienna will commence
abont tbe middlo of June, and snch is tbo ex
pectation of tbe hotel keepers, and they will
pnt the tariff on na as soon as they dare, and
make it as bigb as possible. German tonrists
will not permit themselves to bo gouged, and
heuoe even now there are fow of the better
class hotels that will take them if they propose
to remsin for moro than a week or ten
days. Tims there are two sots of rates oven
now In ail the hotels. A German will not eon
soDt to pay more than two florins per day for bis
room, and many of them not more than one.

Northern Kepnbllcan—Tbe Kail anal lbs
Jtemedy.
Correspondence of tbe Baeton Advertiser |
Will you permit a few words on tbe subject
of your article entitled “The Spirit of the
South,” and the eenes of extracts from Rich
mond newroaper.- ? Three months passed in
tbe South daring this winter and spring entitle
me to speak with some confidence of the fiitna-
tian there, and I may add that my own obser
vations and opinions have been shared and
confirmed by hundreds of (honghtfal people
from the North, ont of the twenty-five thon-and
who have visted Florida and tbe South this last
winter. These persons, intelligent men and
women from all parts of onr country, have been
largely Republican in politics, anxious for tbe
education and elevation of tbe oolored people,
and moat tenacions of what are called tbe ra-
snlla of the war. I do not care to offer yonr
readers any Sontbside views of “copperhead”
oommenta, nor even the political fault findings
of tbe Democracy. I would have this question
understood at tbe North as it has been seen by
Republicans—and Republicans only.
It is a tedious matter to disease Ihe mesrares
adopted for the reconstruction of tbe Sontb, or
to apportion the blame npon ex-President John
son or the Booth, or the failnre to adopt the
wise recommendations of Governor Andrew's
farewell address. Whatsoever the cense of the
meddle which now exists, the resnlt is simply
horrible. In onr desire tn protect the colored
people from a real or supponed hostility of their
former masters we have given the snilerage to
them all—moat of them hopelessly ignorant;
we have organized them into political leagues;
elevated them into positions of high trust, for
which they are deplorably nnsnited ; and then
banded them over in their helplessness to the
moat oorrnpt and incompetent set of shysters,
called carpet-baggers, from the North, of which
it is possible to conceive. I have yet to learn
of a single man who has gone from the North
to better bis political fertnnea (who is “on the
make," as they themselves tell yon,) who has
any real, earnest desire to help the colored peo
ple or the community in which be lives. One
of these carpet-bag politicians, in reply to a
qnestion of mine npon investment, remarked
tbat he “wasn't fool enongh to invest in the
Sooth; when be bad made his pile he should
leave tho d—d oonoern.”
It ia impossible for Northern people to un
derstand the terrible corruption at tbe South,
which is still kept alive by a eareless or designed
nso of tbe patronage and political infiaence at
Washington. We have organized society at the
Sooth npside down. Ignoranoe and crime over-
ride intelligence and decency. The great edn-
cational, financial, commercial, charitablo and
political interests of the States are ontrnsted to
onr common field hands of the Sonlh ard un
principled adventurers from the North! Gan
yon word or that these people desire to free
themselves of Ibis tyranny and corruption ?
Such a stale of things is oontrary to nature,
God's laws, and all tne teachings and the wis
dom of mankind. Snch governments are tho | W. B. HOPE
most grotorqne travesties; they command no
respect from tbe black or white; they are a
scandal and disgrace to them and to ns. And
does it help ns of the North in any way, to have
a lot of men, the natural product of this condi
tion of thing, sent into tbo hails of Oongress to
legislate for as, there to become the tools of
bad men, trad ready to combine with virions
elements from tho North and West? It cer
tainly is of some consequence to ns that tho

A Cholera Incident
Tho Elizxbotbtown (Kentucky) Nows prints
tbe following oxtroot from a letter received by
one of the citizens of that plaoe from bis son,
who is a aleeplog-oar conductor on tho Memphis
and Littlo Bock railroad, illustrating prompt
action under embarrassing circumstances:
I am well and havo not canght the

Tbo Snapper Itnnhs.
Header, did yon over go to tbe snappor
banks! A littlo party of ten from Tallahassee
wero tbero a few days ngo in a small sloop, and
this is what a correspondent of the Floridian
writes abont tho matter:
That morning everything was lovely—the
weather fine, the sky bright and clear, and tho
waves nothing beyond the ordinary sea-swclL
We steored abon*. one point east of aonth from
the light-honse, and oontlnned onr conrse until
tbe tower dropped down to a little white speck,
(wo were abont ten miles ont to sea,) when Tom
lnffed her np and one of the party canght a
gronper. This was evidence conclusive tbat
wo had reached tho banks, and in a jiffy a
dozen lines wero over the boat’s sides, dangling
down sevonty feet among the rocks, with a
huge lamp of lead for a sinker and a plcoe of
mnllet the size of yonr hand for bait to each.
In little leas than no lime a second fish was
canght, and then a third and n fourth, and they
began coming in so fast that yon couldn't count
them. The sport was grandly exciting, and so
much enjoyed that three of the party who had
boen deathly sea-alck for an hour or moro bad
to crawl np and take a hand. In jost twenty-
five minutes we canght nearly live hundred
pounds of fish—gronper and snapper—all of
them very fine, and one of them, a black
gronper, estimated to weigh at least forty
ponnds 1 And then we voted to slop the whole-
i-ale butchery; for, besides having more fish
than wo knew what to do with—everybody on
board had enjoyed themselves tr.fiiriently—
every one had canght fish, and those who had
palled in five nnd seven apiece were perfectly
willing to stop, not caring to lose all the skin
on tbeir bands. Oar decks wero covered with
the Slimy monsters, and yon conld scarcely

Tbero is no hostility—at least the writer has
never seen any—between tho former masters
and their former slaves. The blacks go to these
men for advice; they even, in many instances,
support their old masters <jr mistresses who
