Ax Old Foot Oouhtot.—The death of Lord Weetbnry, ex-Obanoellor of Eegtaod, ia an nounced as having taken plaoe some days since. Hia retirement from that position waa not vol untary, however, he having been compelled lo resign beoanae he bad given an clBce to a rela tive nnder olrcnmstanoea that laid him open lo the charge of nepotism. What an old fogy oonntry England moat bo to be anre. We ■bould really like to know Grant’s opinion of •nch antiqnated Ideas. Tax first Bessemer steamship—that ingenious oontrivanoe for keeping people from beooming seasick dnrisg tranastlantio voyages—Is now building at HolL She will be 350 feet long, 40 feet broad inside of the paddle-boxes, and of >,774 tons burden. The saloon ia in the oentre of the ship, an,pended on massive pivots at the centre and extremities. Her draught is too light for general sea servioe, bat abonld she be saeoesifnl in rnnning between Dover and Calais, others will be bniU on the same model. Bad Work and Bad Workmen. If one of onr planters, after employing a master m> chanio some time in the manufacture of plooghs sod wagons, should asoertain by ex perience that the ploughs all broke and the wagons went to pleoe, with very little servioe, be wonld oonolede at once and finally that the man was a botch—ignorant of hia bmines*, and unfit to be entrusted with any more work; and such a oonclmion wonld be joat and sensi ble. Anoltirg this principle to the handiwork of the B idtcal party, m the matter of State gov ernment*, it ia equally conclusive in respect to their knowledge and practical statesmanship. They have manufactured and administered ten governments for Ibe Southern oonntry, and not one of them bat b.s proved to he a wretched abortion—plnrging the people into inconceiv able embarrassment end distress, and fattening the knavish agents of Federal authority npon the rnios of tbe pnblio prosperity. The last explosion of Government handicraft is In Washington City. Congress has established there s territorial government, run mainly by negro power, in order to ‘•develop” the city and District. Thing, have now oome to a crisis In *!>ont two years this Cjngresslona! concern has plunged the District into ascertained debt to tbe emonnt of seventeen millions of dollars, and a floating liability of an indefinite number of additional millions. The DIatrlot is confessed to be past its capacity to meet interest on its debt by taxation, and the vexed question. What’s to be done 7” Is now nnder sorrowfnl discussion. Tbe fundamental error in all these enterprises In state.manablp lay In the creation of a con- stitneney, in controlling numbers and main taining it by Federal bayonets In controlling power—a constituency wbiob did not pay taxes. If the Bsdieal noodles tbonght sbont or oared for the result of their experiments they most have entertained great fear of the revolt, and their worst fears wonld have certainly been realized. A voting majority, which payt no taxes, is order no restraint. It does even need the wiley carpet-bag cormorant to sat tt on a career of pnblio waste and plunder. It wonld start of itself. Bacb a government is in prao- tioal violation of the fundamental theory that representation most oontrol taxation, and it has resnited, of oonrae, in total wreck. A Ripple la Politic*. Ohio and Virginia have jest held State con ventions of the Democratic and Conservative people. Ohio ha, nominated for G svernor Wil liam Allen, an old ex-Senator in Congress and sn aneompromising Demoerst, on a straight Democratic basis. Virginia might as well have dono tbe same, aa she will be obliged to elect her candidate on that basis. She has chosen to oall her candidate Conservative, which is a misnomer. It is trne the Dcmoorata wish to save what is left of tbe Conalitnlion and State rights, and to restore tbe sepremaoy of law; bnt in that sense alone is the Demoorsoy a con servative party. In all other partionlars, on the oontrary, it is an aggressive party. We want to wage a war of destruction with class legislation and Congressional and cffloial cor ruption—with all imperialism and all shoulder- strap—sable-rattling and bayonet government— with the whole system of swindles whioh have perverted a simple Bepnblioan government, lately oarrlod on at an expense of sixty millions a year, to a great nondescript monstrosity, squandering three handred millions a year on vile partisans for vile purposes. The Demoo- raoy should drop tho talk about “conservatism” and raise tbe sword of the Lord and of Gideon against the corrapt destroyers of civil liberty in this oonntry. The Virginians nominated General Kemper as their candidate for Governor, and the report is tt will be pretty much a hand to hand straggle with white adventurers and negroes. Ohio will have threo candidates in the field—a Badieal, a Liberal and a Democratic candidate. A msTonio soene—tho enrrender of General Pillow to General Smith—is thus described by the Newark Advertiser! “Pillow came Into Montgomery afoot snd alone, sat down on a curbstone and shook the gravel out of hia rough army shoes, and then walked into Smith's of. floe. The ceremony waa simple. He said, “How are yon, Jaokr” The reply was: “Good God, G!d! is that yon 7 Have yon had yonr breakfast ?" To which Pillow responded; “No, and I haven't a dollar to pay for one,” Dismxumxo in* Man.,.—A simple and rapid method of distributing tho newspaper mails has been Introduced with great success Sn Denver According to a correspondent of the New Tork Sun, for months past th* post office has been In tbe habit of throwing all tingle newspaper packets Into a sick as soon as they came, and delivering them In balk to the Chineee lanndry- men at seventy-five cents a hundred.

Nxw Yoax kso tbx West.—A. meeting of merchants (says the Charleston News) haa been held in New York, to nnite with Western pro ducers lo obtain cheap transportation. In the course of it Mr. Sherman, vice-president of the Merchant'.: National Bank, called attention to the differ: noe between tbe great railways of New York and those leading into the cities of Baltimore and Philadelphia. In the latter a large proportion of stock la held by merchants, who thus control to a great extent the manage ment of the road, while in New York the oontrol of tbe great railway lines is wholly in the hands of those whose interest ia antagonistic to that of both merchant and prodnoer, and whose sole purpose la the accumulation of wealth by heavy dividend*, derived from watered atook and forced profits. The remedy for this evil, whose stronghold ie in the demand for increased trans portation, Mr. Sherman hoped to find either in the enlargement of the oanal trade or in the eonttrnotion of railways exolnaively for the carriage of freight. It was agreed that the opening of the Hoasae tunnel, the cheaper freight, to Baltimore, and the enlargement of the Welland Oanal aerionaly threatened Haw Tech with a diversion of trad*.

MoMichael, a very worthy and reliable planter, residing in Upson oounty, announces that removing the bud of the topmost boughs of tbe cotton plant in seasons when the worm ia reported, is a anre preventive of their ravages. In 1868 be experimented on one field, topping half of it and leaving the remainder nntonched. The result was a heavy crop from the topped portion, and the ntter destruction by caterpillar of tbe other half. Slooethen he has continued the practice when ever threatened by the Insect, with the same sno- oeaa. Mr. MeMiohael’e theory is that tho fly depos its it J eggs in every instance in the bud ot the stalk, and if this is destroyed the forthcoming swarm of worms is effectually stopped. He is very particular, however, to tats out of the field in bags or baskets all the tender spronta clipped from the’plant, as the eggs might hatch If they were thrown npon the ground and snffered to remain there. Vis give this statement just as received from the author himself, for whose veracity and re spectability Mr. Saulsbnry and other gentlemen here will vouch. Indeed, it was at the instanoe of tbe former that we were induced to solioit the above facts for publication. The remedy is simple and can at least do no harm. Let onr planters teat it generally. Of oonrso the top ping shonld be done with the first appearance of tho insect. The IlllnoU Farmer’* Nomination*. Tbe Chicago Tribune says the farmers of McLean connty, Illinois, who have been aoens- tomed to give 2.500 Kepnblican majority, have taken it into their heads to throw party over- board, and nominate a ticket of their own for oonnty officers. Tbe farmers of the connty of DeVTitt have done the same thing. To-day the farmers of Barean oonnty, who have been in the habit of eleoting the regular tickets by 1,300 to 1,400 majority, hold a convention to nomioato a ticket of their own. In a few days or weeks the farmers of Champaign, 'White- tide. Livingston, Knox, and Union will hold their conventions, and pat in nomination can didates of their own. The politicians and newspaper organs declare that the organization of a farmers' party is an impossibility, and that the fanners will not, and cannot, nominate ticket* in oppoeition to the Bepnblioan party candidates, and the answer given to this by the farmers is the lotnal nom ination of joat such tickets. In like manner a Justice of the Peace waa once told that he couldn't grant a divorce. He replied that he tad actually dono it, and that the woman bad got married again. Tbe Macon Post Office. In response to onr Inquiries in yesterday’s issue, the postmaster states that all mail matter sent to Washington, Wilke* oounty, must first go to Atlanta, thenoe to Barnett, on the Geor gia railroad, fifty-eight miles from Augusta, arriving at the Utter plaoe at 11 P. Jt. As no night train is run over the Washington branch, another day is loat before reaching its destina- tion. In reference also to the 4< letter mailed at Washington, on the 28th Joly, »nd forwarded from Indian Spring to Uaoon. with the date July 24 th lumped npon It,” he says as all letters aro stamped with the data at the maiang offloe, the mistake mast have oocnrred at Washington by the failure of the postmaster there to ehaege the die so as to make it oonform to the proper date. It U due to the poatmaater to sUte, that he expreeaea a willingness to do all In hia power for the accommodation of the pablie, and invito* eritieUm npon hia official oondnet. K-aeurrrm ot Louisiana. We pnbliab on tho Inside to-day the first of a aeries of three article* from the pen of Prof. Jo*. Jones, of the University of Louisian*, on the re sources of that tttato. They an prepared srith mneh care for the Tel»o**th *xd Mjbsxxod, and will be read with interest by the lovers of science. Professor Jones, who U a native Geor gian, promisee to sand ns similar papers con cerning our own State, baaed npon his personal invert gattoa*, end the noet approved authori ty. Tbe Day Crop—Are Planter* Steir tag It? Past experience and drained r pocket* apeak trnmpet-toogned to the people of Georgia on this snlj-ob Hardly an boar elapees that bale* of Northern and Eaetern hay do not pass thil office on wagons on route to the barne of onr citizens and farmers. Each of these packages .costs from seven to eight dollars, snd they pour in by tbe ear load sod whole trains, to be res hipped and distributed again all over the oonntry. The stranger wonld suppose from this spec tacle, and the arrivals also of ooro and meat, that thU oonntry waa an arid arilderneaa, incapable of producing food for man and beast. And yet Dame Nature, with lavish hand, b&s sown tbe fertile hills and plains of Georgia with natural grasses, which fl .Uriah spontaneously, and if properly eared for and garnered, wonld turn the scale and transform her into a heavy grain ex porting State. We venture the assertion that within a radios of ten miles from Mteon, there U growing this dsy, in wild native inxurianoe, more crab and crow-foot grass than would supply the wanU of Bibb oounty for a whole year. And yet these grasses, cut wtxen the seed is in flower and nicely cored, are fnily equal in value to the beat article imported from tbe meadows of New Eng land or the Woat. Nay, it U a matter of grave doubt whether this crop rendered abnormally UU and abundant by oontinnona rains, wonld not sell in ma>ket at present prioei for more money than either corn or cotton, aora for acre. The writer recently honied from less than one fourth of an acre, the product of a garden, seven hundred pounds of exeellent hay worth fourteen dollirs. This would give over fifty dollars per acre, equal to full two-thirds of a bale of cotton, and this without previous outlay or labor. With faota like these staring ns In the faee, is it wise, Is It sensible still to pursue tho old beaten track which leads to penury sed starva tion, by permitting these gifts of Providenoe to perish and go to waate in onr midst? We trow not. Then let our agricultural friends, one and all, go to work and save the waving grass, which oovers their oorn fields and fallow land, at onoe, and put a final stop to the West ern hay trade. A few acres devoted to fodder, oorn, millet or peas, supplemented by tbe nat ural grasses, would make you independent of the North on the bay question, let the season be favorable or unfavorable. And jnst here before closing, we wonld make a speoial appeal to the farmers of Bibb in behalf of this depart ment of planta'ion products, at tbe approach ing State Fair. The content will be very spirited between the several counties for the thousand dollar premium, and there is dangor that in tbe display of forage they will be distanced. Let ns resolve, then, to have on the ground at least one hundred bales, embracing every variety that can be colleeted, sneh as shook*, rescue grass, pea bay, clover, crab and orow foot graas, millet, and corn fodder. A little pride and inter est in the matter, is all that is wanting in the premises. We feel particularly anxions that Bibb should exoel in this branch of the exhibition, beoauae it will awaken pnblio inquiry, and pave the way for future independence of tbe North, at least, on tbe forage question. What a saving in dol lars and oents wonld this be to tbe oonntry ? Texas Cattle Raising. Tbe Snn bbjs many of ibe great cattls raisers in Texas have become disoooraged, and are tnrning their attention to other porauits. Within tbe last three years the falling off in the num ber of cattle owned in those oonnties from which statistics have been gathered i* fonnd to bare been one-third. The nsnal onstem with oattle growers has been to tarn oot their stock to graze through the year without feeding. The coat of herding was trifling, and this, with taxes and interest on the money invested, made up the entire expense inonrred in the business. The average prioe for stock-is $6 a bead from yearlings np. The oattle are generally sold to traders, who drive them to adjoining or remote States for a market. Public, opinion,' however, ia beooming opposed to the bnffalo system of grazing, which consists in permitting cattle to range over wholeoonntiea without regard to the rights of settlers, and there is a prospect of the psssage of a fence law whioh will pat an end to the present system This is not to be regretted. Tens will always be a rich grazing oonntry, and the introduction of a more civilized system of stock raiding will lead to an improvement In the breeds of cattle there; tbe long horned, ungain ly brutes that now range tbe oonntry will be re placed by a far more valuable race of animals, and in the end, tboagh tbe graziers may not own so extensive herds, they will have more profitable ones. With improved breeds of cat tle, ard better methods of erring for them, more attention will be given to the prodnots of the dairy. Now, notwithstanding tbe enormons number of cattle raise! in Texas, that State affords one of the best markets for eondensed milk sent from the North, while the mannfao- tnre of better and obeete receives very little attention from the fanners. Horrible Confennlon by a Hnrdercr— Fidelity of a Dog. From tbe Hsrriebnrg (Pa.) Journal. | On Thursday afternoon. Nelson Wade, who mnrdered Mrs. Isabella M'Bride, in Lyooming connty, made a confession which he preceded with the remark that he didn't “care a d—n what was done with it” He admitted that he committed the murder, bnt denied that he shot Mr. M'Bride, aa the coroner’s jury decided. Tbe fatal injuries were inflicted with a dab. While at a (arm house near by he learned where a trnnk containing thousands of dollars was located, and abont how mnoh the oonple were worth. On reaching the honte on Tuesday evening he asked M’Bride for milk and waa di rected to the wife, who waa abont the cellar. She told him that he wonld have to pay if he wanted it. The murderer continued: I returned to the house and found the door bolted. The old man finally opened it, and I pnt my foot to the in side. He struck at me, and I knocked him down with my fist, aa well as silenotd the dog, who made an attack on me. I then struck M'Bride three times with the elnb, and he cry ing murder, I hit him again. I then killed Mrs. M’Bride with the stick, and ooming back to the bonse fonnd the old man np and the dog Bak ing his sores. I gave him another beating and broke open the trunk I was after. I had to make two tripe to early awav tbe money In it. I got between $60.COO and $70,000. Will not tell where it is. When I die I will reveal it to a poor man, bnt no rioh ooe shall have it. Two bags of the money are bnried in Williamsport, two above and two below the oity. I have killed several women before, and am willing to hug to-morrow. The prisoner langhi and discnsacs politics with a relish. Mrs. M’Bride waa bnried on Thursday, and her remains were followed to the grave by a large oonoonrse of people. Decline* tbe Honor. In answer to a letter from the proprietors of the New York Grspbio tendering him a free ticket to Europe by their balloon line soon to be established, the Danbury News min replies as follows: On tbe whole, I think I shall hare to decline the invitation. I feel jnst aa enthusiastic in the enterprise as any one can, bnt I can oontrol and manage mv enthusiasm to better advantage If I am standing on something hard. Betides, it makes me sea-sick to cross the ocean, and, when I am sea-sick, I become so excited and reckless that I squander away anything that ia handy in my poeveasioD, and wonld be just as likely to throw away something valuable as not. In that case I should like to ba where I oan re cover it. This is natural to ns all, I think. I do not wish to be understood as having any fear in the matter. I am not afraid of a balloon.

WxaLXTix Gibus *t Athens—Under this head the Athens oorreepondont of the Son writes aa follows: It seems that the beautiful yonng ladies of Wealeyan Female College. Macon, have flacked, almost en masse, to tbe oommenoement exer cises ot the University of Georgia at Athena. They wish to see how well the boys oan do on such occasions, having themselves passed through tbe trying ordeal. Of tbe most bountiful and gifted of these fair maidens, we may men tion Mias Lillie Q Alexander, ot Atlanta, whose brilliant valedlotory at Macon has made her quite distinguished ; Mias Sadie Burge, of Or ford, who also read a sptend’d silntatnry; Misa Lonla W. Dozier, of Mnsengee; Mias Minnie Jtokson. of Macon ; M'ss Em-ns Carl ton, of Union Point; Miss Lsnra Willet of Maoon; and many others, all of whom are ea- nable of turning the hearts of the Uaiversily boys, by their rare beauty and aooomplish meats.

At the latest account* a portion of tbe bands were at work eight miles beyond Harmony Grove— twenty-six miles north of Athens. They are now proceeding very rapidly, as the work be tween Harmony Grove and Gillsville is very light. The last fonr or fire miles before reach ing the Air-Line road will be comparatively heavy. Tee Savannah News says the attendance at the monthly sales on Tuesday “was very poor, and the bidding worse.” Some real estate waa offered bnt qniekly withdrawn. No railroad stock was offered.

We may state that it ia generally believed the Board trill not rescind their aotion In refereooe to the redac tion of tho employees of tbe road. A Youno Max Attacked ex Thbez Neqeoes.

Aa he fell be managed to seize a pleoe of brick lyiog on the ground, which he threw at the party, fortnnately striking one of them in the head. The three then jompel on him and beat and ohoked him se verely. The approach of some one caused them to suddenly retreat. Owing to the suddenness of the attack and the insufficiency of light, he did notreoognizr his assailants, and being un armed be had not the pleasure of giving them a good “send off.” • Tax Advertiser and Bepnbliean says: Tbe proprietors of this paper received yes terday from the attorneys of Mr. W.

Tee following incident occurred recently in Gwinnett oonnty. We quote from the Law- renoevilla Herald: While a thunder cloud waa rising the other day, aod the electric flashes were beooming very vivid, Mr. Jamas Goat, a well-to-do fanner, waa standing in hia yard noticing aa immense num ber of buzzards flying circuitously, close to gether, at a very considerable height. Alt of a sudden an eleotrio discharge pierced their midst, laterally causing them to flutter and fly off frantically in every direction, while two fell to the earth like chocks, dead. As soon aa tho eland passed over, Mr. Goes, in oomp&ny with some others, went to tbe spot where they fell, and fonnd them torn and terribly laoerated. The eleetrieity took effect npon the right wring, and the right leg of each, divesting the bones of all the flesh and integuments leaving only the large quill feathers adhering to the wing bona by the small ligaments. Tbe bones of one did not appear to be broken, while those of the other were broken to pieces. Bach a phenome non has seldom been witnessed. The Hawkinsville Dispatch reports the ap pearance of caterpillar in that oonnty. Fbok the same paper we quote the following: The amount of cotton planted in the oonnty is 24,175 scree; amount of corn. 21,141 son*: oats, 2,109 aerea; sugar-cane, 107; acres; sweet potatoes. 386} aerea; peanuts, 235 acre*; orch ards, 6024 aerea.

If he would listen to his heart ard feelings he wonld still ref nse; bnt he was willing to work any where and in any position to defeat the en emies of the conservative party in Virginia. The enthasiasm which ensned was of the wildest description, delegates and spectators joining In tbe tremendous and oontinnona ap plause. Several attempts were made to nominate Col. Jas. A.

First— Tbat ibe entdrasi of the condition of Virginia, nnder tbe Conservotive government, with tbe ooudition of those Southern States which have b -on nnder Itadiosl rule, illustrates tbe wisdom of the people of Virginia in the adoption of their plan of State policy and de monstrates the neoessity of continning the powers of the State Government in the oontrol of the Conservative people of this Common wealth.
