A Hew Reform Demanded. Acoordirg to the New York Tribune, the "colored citizens'* of Sammit ooonty, Ohio, have asked tbo State Constitutional ConTention to abolish the word 'negro’ from tbe Eog’.ish Isognage—at least to prohibit it from being used in pnblic docnmenU and . school books. That la right, and we frost the Ohio Conatitn- tiocal ConTention, while they are abont it, will arrange tbe Ejglish laegaage and any and evtry other langnsga in any way lha Etheopian philologies of Bsmmit county may desire, is a Rhame they ahonld not be gratified when they ask cnly for words. That infamous word 4 1efu!e m> having been already ezpncgtd on de mand of the African politicians and their allies, the other word "black" or negro ahonld also be kicked out, and in this w*y we will show that 4 If wo cannot alter thing*. By Jove, we'll change their names, air.** The Tribune remonstrates with the Ohio Africans. The word "negro** ia aQOid word, saith the Tribune—not a bit more discreditable than colored, or African, or blick or white—and one color ia as good as another.” So it is, for oerta n purposes, and sometimes a good deal better. The dead philosopher of the Tribnoo, for eximple, always preferred a white coat and a white hat, while the vast m«*j ority of his brethren chose black on«s So in Ooio there are doubtless thonaands of white people who monrn every day of their livea that they weie not bom with rich, shiny, black f*oc a, while it seems that tbe Sam mi t niggers are ashamed of socb countenance-*, and want tbe very came of them to be blotted on 1 of the dictionary. Bat if the came be blotted oat—what then? Are not the discontented whites still cf that oolor, thongh the cd>ocs " word white" Lai been blotted oat ? And won't it be (ho same with tbe blacks when tbe 44 word of gro '* is kicked out of the English language. Now, the point of reform to be aimed at is the liberty of tbe oitizen of Ohio to transmute himself into black or white—so thAt white men can become negroes and negroes whites jnst as they p’oise. This will quiet the dissatisfaction in Ohio. The Gjnstitational Convention caa't do it T That's all a mistake. They can change a white man to a nigger, and vice versa, jaat as easily as they can "abolish the word 'negro,* from the Eagliah laogaage." At any rate—one thing tbo Ohio Gonatitatiocal Convention can certainly do. They can provide for paint and painters, and give every oae of the malcon tents a fresh oolor acoording to their taste and fancy, once a week in the pnhlta paint shops, at tbe State expense. This will be a noble ad* vanoo in the canao of human freedom. tue georui t rREs*. The coming convention of oolorol men at Ghillicothe erases visible uneasiness in Bepnb> licin circles. If tbo pnrpose Is to promote tbe passage of the Uivil Rights bill, says the Times, well and good ; if it is to consider tbe faot that they have been overlooked in the distribu tion of offices and spoils, then it is not either well or goo 1. They mnnt understand, says the Times, if they feel aggrieved on this aoconnt, that it is one cf tbe misfortunes of all political systems; they mnst remember, moreover, that 44 the boat men are not always chosen for office, and that tho colored race coaid hardly expect a radical onaoge in the short time they have enjoyed the privilege of electors.” Now tbU is consoling, or ahonld be, to the colored men, to know that they aro too trnly good to be per fee ly adapted to participate in the fat things of tuis wicked political world. 8o wretchedly unmanageable is the political system that, with tbe best intentions in the world, the Uepnblic&ns cannot work it In favor of the colored race. It is a regrettable state of things, bat tho Times does no: see how it is to be remedied; therefore the ansatisfled colored men ahonld lay np tbeir treasures in heaven. All of which is very sensible advice, bnt we fear it will not be acted on. Tneae colored people may be of an icqniring tom of mind, and want to koow if tbe machinery is so ont of order whether they cannot repair it. It may be, after all. if they show a disposition not to ran with it frantically, the Republicans will be ablo to dfeoover that alt that is needed to make It work smoothly will be a free application of tbe essen tial oil of office to tbe jointa of tbe colored mt>n win help to supply the motive power.—Cincin nati Commercial. The Onto dsrkeys may get tbe machinery to work more smoothly np there by the free appli cation of the eesenttal oil of office to their joints, bnt wo doabt it. They are pretty mach in the samo fix all over tbe country—abject slaves to tbeir white and malalto masters who do j ast about as they please with them. AU that these mas ters have to do to get their elaves to forego aoy desire for this oil, is to tell them it will hurt tbe party—that it may result in the "rebels” com ing into office, and straightway tho daikeys sub side at once, and the masters laugh in their sleeves at the verdanoy cf their dupes. Tbe Ohio Radical politicians are very sharp, and we will wager in advance that if tho colored brethren are going to Ohilicothe for tho purpose of mak ing any move towards having a fairer division of the offioos, theyjwill go home with the wool nicely pulled over their eyes again. - ■ —» ■ \ A Letter from Henry Clay After Hl» Duel with Ilnuiplirry Marshall.

Death or Jcdoe Garnett Andsews —Mr. Stephens, in the Constitution of yesterday, has this to say of the above named gentleman, who died at WashiDgtor, Wilkee oounty, on Wednes day night: Judge Andrews was in the seventy-fifth year of hia age, and belonged to that generation of man who are rapidly passing away from among ns. He was born, if wa are oorreotly informed, in 1798. and Wilkes, we believe, was his native county. His education was confined to an aoa- demic oourae. He amdied law in the effiae of Col. Duncan G. Campbell, of Washington, tbo father of Hon. John A. Campbell, late Associate Justice of tbe Sapreme Court of the United States. Col. Campbell was then ranked among tbe ablest and moat eloquent lawyers in Georgia, and as soon as yonng Andrews was admitted to the bar be took him in partnership with him. When Col. Campbell died in 1828, Andrews formed a partnership with Dauiel Chandler, who had married tbe daughter of CoL Campbell, and who subsequently attained so much distinc tion in Mobile, Ala. Tbe firm of Andrews Jk Chandler con tinned nutil the elevation of An drews to the Bench of the Northern Circuit in September, 1834, on the death of the distinguish ed W. H. Crawford. This position he held with great distinction until 1845, when ha wa* de feated in a party contest in the Legislature, by Hon. Nathan G Sayre, of Sparta. Io 1855 Jnfige Andrews was put in nomination for the effioe of Governor of the State, by what was then known as the American party, but wa* defeated by Hon. Eerscbell Y. Johnson, who was the regular nomioee of the Democratic party. In 1860 Jadge Andrews took a very prominent poiition against secession, bat sfrcr the action of the Sta:e was authoritative!y de clared, be cordially cost his fortunes with her. In 1SC8 he acquie^oed in the reconstruction policy of Congress, and was again appointed Judge of tbe Northern Circuit, which position he was still filling at the time of his death. Mr. Stephens pays a high tribute to Judge A, whom he pronounces to have been an able law yer, a sound and incorruptible Judge, an ex ceptionally pare and virtuous man, and a hus band, father and friend whose private life pre sented a shining example.

High Insurance. —Under this head the Chronicle and Sentinel Las tbe following: High Insurance.—The rates of insurance have been greatly increased in Augusta. One gentleman informed us yesterday that the rates on a range of w«oden buildings owned by him in tbe upper part of the city had been increased from two to seven per oent.

ILs countenance leaves the observer with ao unsatisfactory impro-sion of apathetic indolence and weak-mindednes*, giving but lit tle prom s* of energy of aotion, and oonirasting herein strikingly with his fair spouse. Tho Prince was dressed with extreme simplicity, wearing a short black coat and vest, scarlet pantaloon*, acd short riding boots. The Princess Dm Maria, of the royal hou*e of Brag or zi, is a young lady of 18 yeais of age, with fa r golden lock*, bemtifai deep blue, al most violet, eyes, a slighJy curved delicate and a dazzling fair complexion, ^ as yet untarnished by the rays of tbe burning sun of 8p tin. Warn in repose her countenance has an mrnf irnmi dignity, almost of haut- etfr; bat when eugsged in conversation her who’.e expression s.ftens; nod when, ever and anon, breaking into a annoy smile, she becomes irresistibly attractive. Hervoioe is sweet and melodiouo, exercising an involuntary charmup- on the listener. Ht.e is personally very ener getic and high-mit d «d, and has invariably given proofs of great courage m verv critical and try ing moment*. By tbo soldieis she is mnch es- loim d and respected for her kind heart and the sympathy sbohssoa many occasions manifested towards them.

In fact, if the real truth must bo to!d. Don't Maria la the real Gsneral- issimo of her husband’s forces, giving the secret spar to overy enterprising aad energetic action of any moment; for, after due study of H s Royal High less Dm Alphonso, I am sorry to say that the only thing that can be said to hia advantage is that he i* possessed of great good nature, is tbe pink of courtesy, a very fair bor-eraan, and—roila tout. He is a true Bour bon, perhaps without the well known greater vices of the family, which is tbe most that can be said in his favor. Dona Maria is, as will hive been anticipated, an admirable horsewoman. She is also a good pedestrian, of which la*t winter Bhe gave us abundant proof, marching on one memorable occasion for eight hours no to her knees in snow, with the thermometer five degrees below the freezing point. She was moncted, on her entranoe into Casserss, on a beantifal bay. which she guided with consummate grace and skill. She was dressed in a Luisar l.ke violet j »cket trimmed with fur, along riding skirt of similar oolor, aod wore a coquettish pair of ri*ling boots of patent leather, with gold spurs. For head cov ering she wore a white hat, with long gold tasael drooping gracefully over the right ear. On her jacket shone tbe gold star of Portugal, while on the sleeve of her j icket were the gold star* and stripes of a general. In her right hand she held a dainty little riding-whip, which, with a small, beantifally ornamented revolver at her left aide, completed her cos- tame.

This wa* one of the largest mu*- calonges that has been taken from the St. Lawrence this season. Mrs. Putnam also se cured a splendid pickerel weighing fourteen pounds.—Sjramtc Journal.

The chief objfct of his visit to that oity was to ascertain whether they were implicated in frand or improper transactions. Mr. Vander bilt, having returned to Washington to-day, re ported to the Secretary that there was nothing whatever to implicate those officer** in wrong doing.

In Perquinians ootton is almost covered with lice, and the caterpillar is reported to have appeared in greater numbers. In nine counties in Florida and in five connties in Georgia, also in Jackson county, a new enemy to cotton has appeared, a borer which bores into the form and causes it to drop. Tbe caterpillar worm, army worm, boll worm, or web worm, is re ported in 15 counties in Alabama, iu 9 in Mis sissippi, 12 in LmiaUna and 1C in Texas.

MIDXIHflT DISPATCHES. Tellowstouo (Expedition. New Yore, August 15 —Gen. Burner, in cbtYge of tho railrotd survey of the Ydilow stone Expedition, has submitted to the authori ties of tbe Northern Pacific Railroad Oompauy in this oity his official report of the results thus far accomplished by tbe expedition. Ho finds new ai.d final route Acres* Western D.knah, from the Missouri To tJe Yellowstone, entirely practical acd_satisfactory, it beii g greatly supe rior to those of former ti .vs. The distance!.* 205 miles, and 21* m.Its shorter than other surveys. The gradients are moderate; the av erage of work per mile is considerably less; tfce number of important bridges is reduced nearly two-fifths; tbe L ille Missouri river, which, in former surveys, is cross'd seven or eleven times, is crossed once. On the line so located tbe route is immediately through only one mile of bad or clay lands, just east of the Little Mis. sonrL With few exceptions, the country is a rolling prairie, sometimes rising into low hills, the grass being excellent and s.il good. Good w& er wiis found the entire distance, and timber more abundant than on former rentes. The report states that the main body of Geu. Stanley's exped tion, aooempanied by a scientifij corps and western press correspond ents did not acoompauy engineers, who were escorted by Gen. Oastar’s cimmacd, bat fol lowed tbe old abandoned route soatn of Heart river. Henoe a deaeription of the region tra versed by tbe train oouitnand, do not apply to the oountry traversed by ihe new route for the railroad. The direotors of the company hive accepted the line recommended by General R >oser from Bismarck, tbe end of the track, to Yellowstone crossing, and have called for propoKal* to grade and bndgo this section of two hundred and five miles. The expedition is now proiecming the survey westward up ihe left bank of the Yellow stone to Pompey’s Pillar, where it will join the Bnrvey made last year from Test, aud thus com plete the survey cf the lino across Ihs conti nent.
