Savannah %’cfklu Hews <%/ 'w *IT| RQAI, hi, i tIBKR it. is:', Affair* in Georgia. Atlanta ia rapidly losing her high moral tone. Why, only the other day a oolored porter wan caught stealing and lodged in jau ; and, what tnakca i< worse, he says that a niouth or h i in the calaboose ia better than the sickliness of Cathay. Mrs. Turner, of Hampton, fell dead the other day while making a deed to some property. Hho w&a to have left for Texas in a few days. Gen. Johnston was in Atlanta on Tuesday. Ho wa* Gen. Toombs. Hon. Charles C. Kibbee is in Atlanta on business connected with the Htate Treas ury. A lump of gold weighing 2,545 dwts. was brought into Atlanta from Dahlonega on j Monday. It was the product of the Hand ' Gold Mining Company. An ox-pcuitontiary convict named Wheeler | wanted to commit suicide in Atlinta, hut they wouldn't let him. S nne policemen are so plague-takcd fastidious shout things. The storehouse of Messrs. Jenkins A Lee, of Lee county, together with the stock ol goods contained therein, was de atroyed by an incendiary lire the other night. Mrs. Mason Warthon, of Washington county, is dead. A colored man in Macon stabbed another mortally the other day, all on account ol a female nigger woman". A human skeleton was found under a pile of stones in Harlow county the other day. A fatal shooting affray occurred in Cedar town on the 28th ultimo. A negro killed a gray fox with a lightwood knot in Houston county the other day. A young man connected with the Sanders ville 11'i‘ild killed a line deer within the corporate limits of that town one day last week. Judge Haywood lirooking, who has been for many years Ordinary of Washington county, is, we regret to learn, critically ill. The accidental explosion of a loaded gun in the hands of Master Eddie Anderson, a nephew of Colonel Bob Alston, of tho At lanta//tV'rOj. will cause him to lose one or both of his e>ca. A colored man in Macon county was per forated by a charge from a shot-gun in the hands of his son-in-law the other day. Hons-in-law are gradually getting to be more and tnoro independent. The Atlanta Herald gives Governor Smith as authority for the statement that he will not he a candidate for re-election to bis present position. A telegram to the Macon Telegraph, however, says that tho Herald* article does not seem to have been based upon any recent statements or develop ments. They are troubled with ghosts iu Lee county. Several Augusta workmen were injured by a falling piece of timber recently. Mr. Charles Herbst, the courteous and genial Librarian of the Young Men’s Libra ry Association, has been deposed. The At lanta Commonwealth intimates that this action which it calls a snap judg ment was taken because Mr. Herbst was too ready to show his Confederate sympathies. th s is the case, then the Association is no credit to Atlanta, aud cannot too quickly be allowed to go to pieces. Our friend Herbst can well afford to be prouij of the honor that has thus been thrust upon him. Quitman has received 3,941 hales of cot ton so far this season. The interior towns aro sowing the seeds of Oh rintin is trees. Tho bog choleia is playing havoc with the swine in Talbot county. Dr. Graut, a well known citizen, cominit to 1 suicide iu Meriwether e.unity by sever ing his jugular vein with a lancet. Barlow, of Havorly’s Minstrels, will have to stop drawing bis salary now.

Prominent tax-payers of Decatur county have tiled a hill iu equity restraining the Hoard of County Commissioners and other olliccrs from collecting the county tax, and Judge G. J. Wright has granted a temporary injunction. Mr. Ah. Hatton, a prominent citizen of Telfair county, Is dead. It is Htated that tho editor of the Quitman Reporter tired at a bird the other day and shot a negro woman—not seriously, how ever. This was a good thing for tho bird. Harris county is to have a rice mill. Tho Hawkiusvillo jail is full of colored Ku-Klux. Here in number thirty-oue: The gin house of Messrs. Smith, Burton, Brand A Haininoncl, of Nt-wton county, was burned on Tuesday night, together with sixty-one bales of cotton. Tho loss is estimated at over SIO,OOO. J. R. Christian, of tho Turn sand Planter, is traveling in Texas for his health. His constitution will have lo bo mighty goooTL, he ever gets back alivo. Colonel J. L. Sweat is building an academy in Homorville. Mr. Charles Horbst was deposed 8 Librarian of the Young Men’s Library As sociation in Atlanta, on the grouud, as is alleged, that he “hated tho Yankees." The motion for liis deposition was mado by Mr. Julius Brown. Mr. Julius Brown is a son of Mr. Joseph E. Brown. The trade of Homervillo is waxing. Atlanta challenges Griiliu to a (piail-shoot ing match. Editors up tho country liavo tho felicity of being constantly serenaded. Mr. F. 11. Persons, of Talbot county, is dead. A negro child in Cliatooga county was burned to death tho other day. Same old etory. Intelligent ♦ contrabands in Covingtou place bottles of kerosene oil in tho stoves to make tho tiro go. Tho stable and crib of Mr. B. M. Fryor, of Blakely, wer o burned by an incendiary the other day. The Thomaston Herald has entored its seventh volume. Tho burglars of Atlanta are Btill industri ous. ThoGeueva /.amp burns to this effect: “Dirty days hath December, April, Juue and November ; From January up to May, The rain it rainoth every day. All tho rest liavo thirty-one. Without a blessed gleam of sun. And if one had two and thirty, Twould be just as wot and dirty.” Milt Barlow shook up Macon on “Jonah an’ do Whale” last night. The Haverlys go thence to Atlanta for the purpose, as Clap ham says, of restoring good humor among tho politicians. The boys are engaged in missionary work, and Barlow is their I ropbet. Colonel J. D. Stewart was elected Mayor of UrilUn without opposition. A dispatch from Griliiu to the Macou Tfle<jrai>k says that Rev. At tious G. Hay good lias bet'u elected President of Emory College and Professor of Moral and Mental Science ; Dr. 0. S. Smith, Professor of Latin Literature, and Dr. Morgan Callaway, Pro fessor of English Literature. The other Professors remain in their respective chairs. The action of the board was unanimous, and is agreeable to all who are interested. Dalton is complaining about the multi plicity of her and gs. Whitfield county is out of debt. Edward Dunn was accidentally shot and killed by Harry Spillman, near Marietta re cently. Both were lads. The Greensboro Herald gratuitously ven tures the opinion that those who hunt foxes have neither corn enough in their cribs nor pork enough in their smoke-houses, and, furthermore, that their farms are in a gen erally dilapidated condition. Now, this is worse than nousense. Some of the very best fanners in the State have a passion for fox huutiug, and we can point to more than a hundred fox-buutiug planters in Georgia who are all that is successful, ail that is genial, ami all that is generous. The Her ald has picked up the wrong end of the trail. Mr. J. C. Spier killed a deer in Jefferson county recently. Mrs. Barbara Cauthorn, of Pike county, who disappeared from home some time ago, was found suspended to a limb the other day. Everything showed that she had de liberately killed herself. An old negro woniau in Atlanta came near going crazy the other day because her diugbter ran off with another nigger in a barefooted condition. Johnny Mcßride, of Jefferson county, Aged seventeen, died recently of neuralgia. A Calhoun county man went to Albany the other dav, got drunk, shot at a cow and mounted ’an engine-house. All this fan only cost trim $lO. Oburn Bird, a native of North Carolina, killed himself in Brooks county on Sunday, jay cutting his throat with a razor. Albicv News: For many days past we bashed abundance of most disagree able weuO*r-not cold, but miserably cloudy and damp. Fesrs are entertained by a few .of an almost total jyreck of the top cron, by a general rotting on the stalk, while others seem to think that tw very serious damage will accrue. It is hoped that we will have a clearing off and a light frost in a dS or Iwo which will greatly facilitate the ffflliPfl of the upper bobs. Speaking of the so-called recently discov ered “etheric force,” an Atlanta man says he found it out long ago. Its greatest force, he writes, so far as he is concerned, lies in the ends of broom-sticks, brass-mounted shovels and other Christmas toys. The magnet is bis wife, backed by his mother in-law, who acts as a sort of ground-wire, as it were. The Board of Directors of the Young Men’s Library Association, of Atlanta, have printed a card defending their course in deposing Mr. Charles Herbst from the position of Librarian. No complaint is m \de, however, that ho is a vankee-hater, though Hawyer, of the Home Courier, in alluding to the mat ter says the association is completely yan keeized. This is to be regretted for many reasons. The action of the Association bids fair to cripple the usefulness of the organ ization. It is said that Columbus audiences are the most critical in the .State. If they are not satisfied with a performance they gather around the door of the theatre ana demand tneir money hack, or its equivalent in prize candy boxes. The announcement is made that Mr. Hndges W. Smith will take charge of the city department of the ARariU Herald. Mr. Smith is a fluent and vigorous writer, and is possessed of an inexhaustible fund of humor. He is quite an acquisition to the HeraUl. Mr. W. S. Gresham, of Forsyth, who was found dead recently in Lake City, Fla., stated to parties in tha* city that he had killed a man named Head in Monroe county. As we have heard nothing of this transac tion, we are compelled to believe that Mr. Gresham was laboring under mental aber ration. Madison has received five thousand three hundred and fifteen bales of cotton this sea son. The epizootic has caused a Morgan coun ty horse to go blind. A Macon incendiary burned a small unoc cupied dwelling in the sutiburs of that town on Saturday. Wild turkeys and squirrels are on tne bill of fare in Franklin. The Atlanta Herald says that a gentleman poor iu circumstances has just sent Mr. John Kirnbro a magnificent picture frame which is a curiosity. It contains over three thousand pieces. It will be disposed of at the Catholic fair, and is now to be seen at the Alhambra saloon. There was uot a par ticle of glue used in its making. The Atlanta authorities propose to make it lively for vagrant votem. Mr, Langdon Cheves has been brought hack to Atlanta for swindling a sewing machine company. It seems strange that a man with such a patrician name should swin dle people, but they will sometimes do it. Mr. John T. High, of Macon county, is dead. Tho Augusta Constitutionalist says : “Oue of Georgia’s distinguished sons—Hon. Ju lian Ilartridge—honored our city with a visit yesterday, eu route to Washington. He waß the guest of Colonel Fannin. As the Representative in Congress of the First Dis trict, Georgia looks to Mr. Ilartridge as one who will never prove recreant to the sacred trust placed in his hands. We make no dou' t his noble abilities will always be ex erted in tho cause of honesty and true Democracy. In days agone, Mr. Hartridge has proved his fealty to his native State, and his clarion voice will often be heard in tho halls of Congress in marshalling the Democratic forces to the attack on the hordes of cormorants feeding at the national crib.” Freedom and education don’t seem to help tho nigger much. Near Atlanta recently one of them who had been disturbed con siderably by stray dogs at night, concluded he would put an end to the rumpus at once. Ho took down his shot-gun, cocked both barrels, and advanced upon the enemy. Getting near, he saw two of them clinched in a tight and instead of shooting clubbed tho gun and struck one of them over the head. The dog howled, the gun went off, anil the nigger—-well, there’s no use in go ing into details, but the Coroner as ho ad justed his papor collar remarked that it was a queer way for a man to commit suicide. Col. William Moore, of the Atlanta Herald, was again caught in Mariotta the other day. This la getting to bo serious. An enormous wild cat was captured in the jungles of Jefferson county last week. Conyers Register: A few of our people continue to avail themselves of the home stead law. This is madness and folly. Under the recent decisions of the Supreme Court a homestead is a burden instead of a bless ing. It cannot be alienated, it destroys a man’s credit and ties him down to poverty for life, l’ay your debts if you can, compro mise if you can do no bettor, give up all if your creditors demaud it, hut under no cir cumstance have anything to do with that treacherous deception—a homestead. Newnan Star : It is a remarkable fact that tliero is not a German or Tew engaged in business of any character injNewnan, the only placo, we suppose, of its size and business on the continent that can say the same. Wo cannot give any reason whv it is, or should be so, for as a general thing they make good, substantial citizens, and" they can proudly challenge the peo ple to point to a Jewish widow uncared for or neglected ; to the Jewish orphan forsaken or a burden to the community ; to the beg gar asking alms of the public. Wbat other nation can say as much ? The Rome Courier pays the following tri bute to one of tbe best men Georgia ever produeod : “The anticipated resignation of Judge Hopkins from the Atlanta Circuit has brought forward the names of a number of gentlemen for the place. Had wo the ap pointing power, we would select Judge Rich ard H. Clarke for the position. It would be a proper recognition of his personal and pri i vate worth as well as of his distinguished lo yal anilities. Ho is one of the purest men in the State and an able lawyer. We should ro /joico to hoar of his appointment.’ 1 The ed itor of the Courier never paid a truer tri bute than he does in the foregoing lines. Judge Clarke hag long been recognized throughout the State as one of its ablest jurists, aud one who bears without abuse the grand old name of gentleman. But h is not of the sort who seek office, and wo do not, therefore, expect to see the bar of At lanta honored by having him to till either of the vacancies which, it is said, will soon occur in that city. Hawkinsville Dispatch : “We have in our office specimens of corn grown this year by Mr. 15. B. Dykes, one of the best and most experienced farmers of Pulaski. Mr. Jas. A. McGriff, who gave us the corn, states that the patch embraced three-sixteenths of an acre, from which Mr. Dykes gathered seven teen and a half bushels and live hundred pounds fodder—being a yield of over nine ty bushels to the acre. The corn was plauted the 18th day of May, after the land had been thoroughly pre pared. It received but one plowing and hoeing. The plowing was given to it when about knee high, and the hoeing when waist high. The growth was so lapid that no further work was ever bestowed upon it. Many of the stalks produced from three to four ears. Mr. Dykes’ plan of saving seed corn might be advantageously followed by all our farmers. Whon the ears are thor oughly ripe he takes a sack and goes into his Helds aud gathers the largest and best from the most productive stalks. He finds this an excellent plan by which to improve his seed corn. The Atlanta Constitution says that on last Wednesday evening a terrible accident oc curred on the Air-Line Railroad, about four miles from that city, by which a voutig man named llobiuson, some sixteen or seventeen years of age, was mortally wounded and two mules killed, llobiuson is an orphan, and was living at the old Lewis place, owned by Messrs. Glover & Cheshire. He was em ployed hauling wood from the place to Mr. Glover’s wood yard in Atlanta. On Wednes day afternoon he started back with his wag on, and took the road leading by B. F. Wal ker’s mill. Here he took a load and contin ued his way homo. Just as tbe wagon and mules got on the railroad track, a short disr tance beyond the mill, they were struck bv the outgoiug passenger train which left Atlanta at 4 o’clock. The train passed the crossing with great rapidity and struck the ill-fated team with fatal effect. One mule was mashed by the passing train into a shapeless mass of flesh, the other was killed outright, the wagon badly damaged, and the edge of a car struck llobiuson, throwing him some distance out into the road. The engine did not L ave the track, but kept steadily on, tearing the harness off the bodies of the mules. Robin son was carried to the house of his brother in-law, James Peavy, aud attended by Dr. J. W. Mayson. The doctor considered him iu a critical condition, as several ribs are broken. The same p iper has this : “Yesterday af ternoon Hon. J. W. Renfroe, of Washington county, was appointed Treasurer of the State of Georgia by Gov. Smith, to fill the uuexpired term of t x-Treasurer Jones. The appointment was not altogether unexpect ed, as public opinion had pretty well settled it that Mr. Renfroe had the best claims upon the place of the large number applying. Gov ernor Smith has displayed sound wisdom and gratified a very influential section of the State by his action." It is a deserved compliment, both to Mr. Renfroe himself and to Wash ington county, of which he is a citizen. So far as personal competency is concerned, the office of Treasurer could" not have been entrusted to better hands. Mr. Renfroe is emphatically a self-made man, and a man of first-class business attainments. His success in life has been gratifying alike to himself and friends. Upon reaching the age of* twenty-one years, he was made tax collector of Washington county, and since that time has almost constantly occupied some office of honor and trust to which be was called by his fellow-citizens. In 1870 he was elected to represent his county in the Legisla ture, where he served in 1871 and 72. Here he gave eminent satisfaction to his constit uency by the consistency of his course and his fidelity to principle. Upon the expira tion of ids term he took a position iu the Comptroller General’s office, where he re mained until hjs recent appointment. While in the Comptrollers ofacb Mr, Renfroe was enabled to acquire an intimate knowledge of the business in the various departments. The appointment in every way is a good one, and is another instance of" Gov. Smith's excellent judgment in the selection of his subordinates. ’’ Florida Affairs. Letters patent have been issued to Dr. John Westcott, of Tocoi, for a one-track elevated railway. Jackson county is juicy with cane-grind ings. The Marianna Thespians will shortly give an entertainment. A member of the grand jury of Nassau county that found a true bill against Harney liicl ard prints a card in the Union in which he denounces as false the ‘'state ments made in Florida and Savannah news papers” to the effect that the jury were co erced. Oue can fairly doubt the intelli gence of a person who could fail to mis nnderatand the criticisms of the Mousing News and the Jacksonville Press in regard to the action of that jury. Key West rolled twenty-six millions of cigars last year. A Justice of the Peace in Marion county has been bound over to answer a charge of cheating and swindling. The papers of the grand jury of Alachua county, including twenty-six indictments, were stolen recently, and the bodv bad to be called together again. A child of Mr. John Bellamy, of Columbia county, was instantly killed bv the sweep of a sugar mill recently. The Pensacola Gazette still pices to be an nexed to Alabama. The grand jury of Marion county presents that many of the Justices of the Peace in and for that county are incompetent to per form the increased functions of their office, and they recommend, petition and request His Excellency to remove all incompetent Justices of the Peace from office and to ap point none in their stead but good and efficient men. The meeting of land-owners took place in Tallahassee yesterday. The Live Oak Times says that the citizens of Suwannee county held a meeting at the court house the other day, and passed re solutions asking His Honor Judge Bryson to make a special charge to the next grand jury to carefully examine the books of the Tax Collector, and a petition is to be sent to Governor Stearn, asking his immediate at tention to the conduct of some of the county officers. Thus the Jacksonville Press: “Captain Eells resigned (?) bis position as County Commissioner, as we aro informed, in con sequence of having voted against the ap pointment of Mr. Cheney as County Attor ney, by which neat little arrangement the aforesaid Cheney would have saved his office rent, amounting to two huudred dol lars. Decapitation was threatened by the Chairman of the Radical Executive Com mittee, and followed. Cheney pulled the wires, and the puppet, Stearns, danced.” The Lake City Reporter says that the Democratic party of Columbia county is thoroughly and effectively organized. When all the counties make similar reports we shall have no doubt of a clear Democratic majority at the next election. A correspondent of the Monticello Consti tution favors that paper with the following* statement as to the results of Mr. J. Q. Den ham’s operations the present season : Mr. Denham resides near Reems’ Ferry, in Jef ferson county, and the labor employed con sists of two mules, hims >lf and two little sons, and the result of his crop was as fol lows : 12 bales of cotton, weighing 500 pounds each; GO gallons syrup; 200 bushels potatoes; 2,500 pounds pork; 500 bushels corn. At a very low cash estimate the fore going products would yield $1,415, which is a very good return for the capital and labor employed. According to the Constitution, the smart est young lady in Florida resides in Monti cello. One evening recently, after supper, she made up forty-six yards of carpeting, and ere the clock struck nine she was in the parlor entertaining a beau. She is a jewel of rare value, aud if ever captured the for tunate individual ought to lie the happiest man in America. Supreme Court Judges Westcott and Randall have given it as their opinion that there can be no regular session of the Florida Legislature this winter. A citizen of Columbia county has fifteen thousand acres of land in one body which he desires to sell to actual settlers. The Collector of Customs at Cedar Key discharged his deputy tho other day, whereupon the aforesaid deputy made grave charges against the Collector. An investi gation was made, and, queerly enough, the deputy was reinstated. The Jacksonville Press says that the fact that a large number of lead bullets and a large key have been found in certain Indian mounds in the vicinity of Yellow Bluff, would seem to detract from the general opinion that these tumuli were pre-historic. Aud yet it is asserted that nono of tho Indians now residing ia this State have any tradi tionary knowledge of the formation of these mounds, or of the fact that they were used as places of interment. The Live Oak limes quietly remarks: The Circuit Court for Suwannee county will com mence on Monday, the 13th day of Decem ber, at which time the case of Hicks vs. the Live Oak Times will come up for trial. If we are not greatly mistaken there will be some interesting facts brought to light dur ing the trial. They are having fresh snap-beans in Mon ticello. The Monticello Constitution is still work ing up the Jefferson County Fair. The Monticello Constitution wants to know, apropos of certain statements made by Conover, if there are any traitors in the Democratic camp ? Wait, "love, and see. Probably when the daisies bloom again you will be able to put your lingor on a dozen or more. Tbe Reporter says that the vegetable gardens iu and around Lake City are look ing prosperous. The English peas, planted to place in the New York and Philadelphia markets by tbe holidays are looking thrifty, aud unless the weather becomes unusually severe, the proprietors will succeed in their experiment ana realize a handsome profit therefrom. The Tallahassee Floridian says that the in-bound passenger train on Sunday morn ing, when turning a bend near Lake La fayette, ran over the body of a colored man lying on the track, and horribly crushed it. It is thought that the man bad been either hit the night before by the freight, or was stealing a ride on that train aud was seri ously hurt by falling off the rear coach, as portions of clothing were found on that car. The Times says that Mr. M. L. Stebbins has a grove of banana trees in full bearing ou his lot in Live Oak, near the Methodist Church. We have heard persons say that bananas and oranges will not stand the cold weather which we sometimes have in Mid dle Florida, but a look at Mr. Stebbins’ grove will convince one to the contrary. Three years ago Mr. Stebbins started with only two plants, and now his grove is worth at least eight hundred dollars. Strangers visiting Live Oak are invited to call and look through the grove. Jacksonville Press: The State Fair Com mittee have just issued through their ener getic Secretary, Mr. J. W. Whitney, a circular, which we publish in another column, calling on our citizens to send up articles of every description to the State Fair to be held here next February. We hope the people from every section will re spond, and that a collection of the produc tions of Florida may be brought together, which will not only reflect credit on the State, but show our visitors what Florida can do. This will be one of the best methods of advertising our State and showing the advantages of tbe different sections thereof. Every county should be represented. We hope our people will begin to prepare at ouee for our first State Fair. Horidian: The Floridian's prediction last week that the Secretary-editor of the Sentinel will be the candidate for the Repub lican nomination for Governor next year, and that he is using hi* position to kill off both Stearns and Conover, was a shot be tween wind and water. It created no small amount of fluttering, and has opened the eyes of quite a cumber of anxious expect ants. We now state that in the southern counties a McLin party is being organized by the so-called Southern Loyalists, who complain of being mistreated,* maltreated aud cheated, aud that the adherents of this hungry faction consider that the coming struggle is to be between their chief and Conover. Carry the news to “Sell Us.” Monticello Constitution: We have re ceived from Mr. Thomas J. Moore, of Wau keenab, a package of sweet oranges and lem ons, which decidedly excell all others we have ever seen, both’in size and flavor. The oranges are 10| inches in circumference and the lemons 91 inches. They were taken from trees that have been in fall bearing over fifteen years on Mr. Moore’s father’s* plantation, in the lower part of the county, and on a sand hill where the nearest strata of clay is thirty feet from the surface. As already stated, we do not believe these or anges can be excelled anywhere, and it is our opinion that the southern portion of Jefferson county is fully equal to the St. John’s or Indian river country for the pro duction of tropical fruit of every descrip tion. Mr. Moore will accept our thanks for this additional evidence ot the advantages of our climate and productiveness of the soil. Monticello Constitution: The county g, Jefferson has a railroad bond debt of $125,- 000, aud as some of the bonds are now past due the Commissioners are in a dilemma as to what policy to pursue in reference to their payment, and would be pleased to have an expression of opinion from the tax-paying public. The Commissioners are inclined to the opinion (and will act upon it unless otherwise directed by the people interest;- ed). that the best policy will be to assess and collect yearly a tax of "six-tenths of one per cent, on the taxable property of the county for the purpose of creating a sinking fund, to meet the bonds as they mature. Six tenths of one per cent, on tjie value of the property returned for the present year, (*1,545,809),wi1l yield a sinking fund of 19,274 85; aDd this, iu connection with the tax assessed to meet the interest, in the course of ten years, will entirely cancel the debt. We would suggest that there be a meeting of citizens to take this matter into consideration, and advise the Commission ers in the premises. Their action will con form strictly with the expressed desire of the people interested. We also tender our coluiuos to all parties desiring to make sug gestions. The matter is of vital interest to all tax payers, aud the sooner tliev realize the fact the better it will be for all.' Some of the papers are inquiring after Colonel Thomas W. Britt. We can answer this much: The Colo Del is engaged in culti vating a wide field, and that very industri ously. Somebody in the Fernandina Observer doesn’t seem to be on very good terms with the editor of the Floridian. McLin now has full control of the Talla hassee .Senlmat. It may be said, however, that he will not wield his tremendous in fluence against the Attorney General. Conover evidently expects Democratic support for the Governorship. Some people are so sanguine. Archibald and those fellows would do well to “Rest. ’ If Baffquo does cast off the fet ters of the grave, so to speak, he will make it particularly warm for certain of the gen try. A stitch iu time saves a good deal of patch-work, so to speak. Is Purman going back on Conover, or are we to have a triangular fight, with Stearns on the odd end ? Mr. C. H. Walton has retired from the Tallahassee Sentinel. He was a thorough slave of the Stearns’ ring, bat his place will be acceptably filled by Judge Cocke’s victim. Walton will probably take charge of the Jacksonville Union. A man named Pellesier was ki’led at Levys yille recently. His house was fired by incendiaries, and when he endeavoredj to extinguish it, he was shot by unknown par ties. The Burgett child, recently kidnapped near Marianna, has not been recovered, nor has anything been heard from it. The poor mother is nearly a maniac. Eight or nine hundred visitors can bunk in Palatka this season. A bear light was the latest theatrical ex hibition idvertised at Ocala. “Belle Boyd” was lecturing ki Jacksonville at last accounts. The gentle, but suspicious Codrington, of the Elorida Agriculturist, suggests that the famous Wakulla volcano is merely the smoke of an illicit distillery. Some people have neither sympathy nor imagination The cedar mill at Tampa, which has been idle for some tune, has been repai red and set in motion. Marion county is still receiving immi grants. The little boys of Ocala are shortly to have a tournament. Adntiral Goldsborough is at Fort Reid. Orange county has postponed her fair. Mr. W. A. Gilbert captured a fine doe in Lake Monroe recently. The hotel at Sanford is rapidly approach ing completion. The Mellonville Advertiser goes into eoataciea over the structure. “Pinder candy” occupies a prominent position in the manly bosom of the editor of the Ocala Banner. Since Colonel Gora Jire, of the Cedar Key Journal, began the practice of keeping a hotel, he has grown stout and athletic. He says that it is like practicing on the horizon tal bar to chew Florida beef as it ought to be chewed. We wish the Colonel all success. Mr. A. L. Eichelberger, of Ocala, is ship ping bananas to market at the rate of ten barrels a week. Monticello has the champion cat. One night last week she caught twenty-five sparrows between sunset and eleven o’clock. One hundred and four thousand three hundred and forty-one oranges were shipped from Tampa during one week re cently. A colored festival in Jackson county re cently wound up with the usual shooting affray. The genial hostess caught a ball in her stomach. The Land-Owners’ Convention will assem ble in Tallihassee on the first Wednesday in January. A correspondent of the Tallahassee Senti nel, writing from New Smyrna, says that the Kate S. Cook, Captain Hayne, floated out the Mosquito Inlet and went ashore, be coming a total wreck Friday night, the 26th ult. The Captain put out two anchors iu succession, aud the cables parted from each and left his boat to the morcy of the waves. The Captain aud crew spent the night in the rigging, their small boats being washed away. Part of the cargo had been dis charged at New Smyrna, the remainder was for the Daytona people, and is nearly a total loss. Mr. Morgan, lately from Springfield, Mass., had on board lumber for a house, with furniture, which is mostly lost. Capt. Hayne was attempting to pass the Imet when the wind ceased, and the outgoing tide carried him out. A little son of Mr. W. A. Raulerson was accidentally shot by Mr. Henry Baker, who was deer-hunting recently, near Lake Har ney. A SUCCEDANEUM OF CANTHA RIDES. The Ghost of Banquo Still Wandering. [Special Correspondence of the Morning News.] Fernandina, Deceml 875. Banquo’s ghost again arouseu v ue hopes for the last time until April next) from the quietude of his repose by the reckless revelry of the off-colored nigger ex pounder of improvised law, iden tified as Archibald, and the coadjutors of that self-convicted conspirator, peers down from his invisible lair in astonish ment at the uninterrupted carnival, and proceeds to administer a deep, scorching, withering flagellation to the mercenary tribe. Since Julian the Apostate accom plished his historic somersault, since Pugnis eat Calcibus, or since Vitellius devoured a whole estate, the world hath not witnessed such a marvelous effort of deglutition as that lately essayed by the canaille of Florida. They failed to realize that their unsustained assertions and aimless shots would, like the charmed bullets of Der Freischutz, recoil at once upon their originator with terrific force. Without indicating how soon Banquo’s untroubled spirit could evidence, to the satisfaction of every intelligent reader, the existence of a deep laid scheme to secure the indictment of Rich ard, suffice it to say that the “Jedge” himself has admitted the fact over his awn signature. Will he force Banquo to be more explicit. Tbe arsinine booby is equally unfortu nate whether be writes for publication or for private perusal, and invariably com mits himself. And now Banquo pro pounds the subjoined interrogatories to Mr. Julian J. Acosta : Did you not, on Friday, October the 29 tb, 1875, strut like “ Pistol,” as if the world were your oyster, and inform a gentleman of unquestionable and unquestioned veracity that the grand jury of Nassau county had failed to indict Richard, and that he could return home. Did you not also re mark “there are five.” Subsequently, did not Uncle Tad base his communica tion, published over the signature of “Unterrified,” and purporting to emanate “from a member of the grand jury,” upon your note to him stating that the jury “did not find” not a “true bill,” or did you intend a literal con struction to be placed upon the words “did not find,” and was not the intorma tion of a kind with Mrs. Micawber’s de claration that she never would desert Mr. Micawber. What is the market value of duplicity? Out upon such miserable stickling. Vale! Banqtjo. The Centennial of 187 G.—This highly favored country is about to celebrate its hundredth birthday.

Lew York, December 3.—The Sun says Mrs. Moulton has addressed a letter to the members of Plymouth Church in reply to one addressed to her, and adopted by them on Friday evening last. She says: “I do not believe there was any one more faithful to Plymouth Church than I was, up to the time I became ac quainte 1 with the wickedness which Mr. Beecher had committed in his relations with Mrs. Tilton. After that it did not seem possible for me to go to church and tear him preach, or take the sacrament from his hands, and I stopped doing so. I could not with any satisfaction hear him preach of purity and Christian joy, while I knew of his secret agony, and his acknowledged, but hidden, sin. That I did go elsewhere for worship and the sacrament was almost wholly owing to him. He begged me again and again to come back, and when I said that I could not until he acknowledged his sin, and so atone for it as far as he could, he was sad and depressed even to tears. Y'et if I went away from Plymouth Church to any other while he was all the time coming to our house, it would of course excite attention, cause suspicion and embarrass him very much, as well as "my husband, who was then trying hard under Mr. Beecher’s constant urgency to keep the awful secret from the public. I should not know what to say if I was asked the reason for it, and it might be the means of doing a great injury to them whom I wanted to shield and help. Mr. Beecher, too, more than any other, represented to me the Christian religion, and to bring reproach upon him seemed an injury to it; so I ab stained from going elsewhere lest it should do harm, and indirectly bring to light things which he was all the while afraid would become known, and which it did not belong to me to disclose. Mr. Beecher ought to be the last man in the world to blame me for what I did in his behalf. He knows that I could not speak the truth more perfectly than I have spoken it here if I was standing before God’s throne. “When Mr. Tilton’s name was dropped by you, two years ago, I told Mr. Beecher that I was afraid you would some time want to drop mine in the same way, and he then most earnestly assured me that it should never be done ; that he would see to it himself ; that I should never be in any way INJURED BY HIS CHURCH. “Really I do not see how Mr. Beecher, knowing as he does, the perfect truth of what I say; knowing how he used to weep at our house and heap shame upon himself for his great sin, and how often he spoke to my husband and myself of the utter despair in which he would be except for our comforting and help, I I cannot see how it was possible for him to stand up and read his letter to me in your presence, without his very soul giving way.” Mrs. Moulton refers to other parts of the letter, and says there are a great many things in it which are incorrect and injurious, some of which she mentions as follows: “You say that as far as the church or the committee knew, I had never made any statement impugning the purity of Mr. Beecher except in a court of justice, but in that very court I had made precisely the statement which I have since made in my protest to you, among the leading members and officers of your church, telling them that Mr. Beecher’s sin was adultery, and that he and Mrs. Tilton had confessed it to me. If the statement was a slander, I had de clared the fact of my uttering the slander before all the world, and might months before have been CALLED TO ACCOUNT FOE IT. “I knew before that falses wearing in a court of justice was an offense which the Church of Christ is unwilling or unable to punish, and if you think I lied in that public manner and in that solemn hour, that I lied in order to injure the minister whom I had loved as much as any of you, and whom I had done my very best to uphold and comfort for three dismal years, through the time of anguish, which he was carefully hiding from you, you ought all the more, I think, to have tried and condemned me instead of dropping my name.” She concludes: “I had a heavy burden t£> carry, and I aso-very sorry to say that the first act of Christian attention which I have received from the church in the five years past, was the notifying me that my name was to be dropped from the roll the next evening. My proposal to you in my previous letter was, that you should unite with me in calling a council of churches, before which you should state your reasons for your action, and I should state mine, and which should impartially judge between us. That proposal, I understand, you have accepted. The questions thus coming up for decision ought, I think, be these: “First. Have my convictions in regard to the guilty conduct of Mr. Beecher been justified by the evidence which I nave read ? Second. If they have been justi fied, ought I still to have attended his ministry and received the sacrament from his hands, while kept by the reasons which I have stated from with drawing from the church ? Third. When I had stated to the church my rea sons for being absent from the ser vices, and had protested against being dropped from the roll, ought I to have been thus dropped without further trial and without censure nor recommen dation? Fourth. If I was improperly re moved from Plymouth Church, will the council give me a certificate of the fact on which I can enter another eburch. I am not perhaps well able to judge wheth er the six questions which you propose to me to have submitted to the council cover the same ground with these of mine. Yours appear less distinct, perhaps be cause I do not understand them so well, and mine take up more directly the points of issue between us. I suppose it’s my right to have something to say about the ques tions to be submitted, and accordingly I propose that yours be submitted as you put them, and these of mine be added to them. In this way I think the whole case between us will come up, and the questions which I wish to have answered will have an equal chance with yours. When you notify me of your acceptance of my proposition, will you please send me the names of ten or twelve churches which you would wish to invite to the conferences, with two or three experi enced and wise ministers who are not now in the pastoral office, as I am inform ed is customary. Then I will add as many more to the list, as such may be made known to me to be of good stand ing with the Christian public, and letters of invitation can be-sent out at once. “Respectfully yours, “EmmjtC. Moulton.” . A Strange Difficulty Between a Husband and Wife. —Some weeks ago a difficulty at CorydoD, Indiana, occurred between a man and his wife, named Alex ander, over the burial of a child. She is a Catholic and he a strict Protestant, and upon the death of the child he had it buried in the Protestant graveyard, which caused trouble, and she had it taken up and buried in the Catholic burying ground. The child was subse quently taken up and re-buried in the Protestant cemetery. Since that time the remaining child has been a bone of contention, the mother insisting on rais ing it Catholic, and he declaring that it should not be. The trouble culminated in the seizure of the child by tbe mother last week, and on Saturday she took it to Louisville, Kentucky. Tbe father of the child followed and made search for the little girl in Louisville, finding her Tues day evening. On the following morning the overjoyed father left for Corydon with his little one, a girl eight years of age, the wife having been left behind in Louisville. Measurer Babcock has not denied that he was the principal agent in swindling the United States Treasury in the Washington city measurements. The amount of stealings there has never been precisely ascertained, but it was about a million and a half. Without Babcock, this great robbery could not have been accomplished. While he is explaining his relations to the St. Louis whisky ring, perhaps he will vouchsafe a word of explanation about the Washington measurements, which have made him so notorious. —New York Sun.

The last paper filed in the Bolton will case, fall particulars of which appears on the outside of this issue, is a lengthy bill of complaint addressed to the United States District Court, embracing some twenty charges, each extensively elaborated. The main points are: That in 1811, John Bolton, in pursuance of a con spiracy entered into with James Richard son, Richard Richardson, Curtis Bolton and Durham Tudor Hall, and others, to cheat and defraud Robert the younger, then in England and wholly ignorant of the con spiracy, procured for his own benefit a paper purporting to be a power of attorney (void and of non-effect), from Robert, tho younger, the cestui que trust, running to John Bolton, the trustee, and wrongfully and fraudulently for the benefit of the trustee, procured the same to be recorded among the public records of the city of Savannah, and thereby created a cloud upon the title to said estate'. That large quantities of personal property belonging to the estate of the tes tator after his death, and previous to the time provided for the settlement and distri bution of the excessively large sums of money, also belonging to the estate and heirs at law, was realized by John Bolton therefor, and which money so realized, to gether with other large' sums of money also belonging to the estate and heirs at law, aggregating to the sum of one million dollars and upward, was fraudulently and secretively taken and carried away from the jurisdiction of the Court of Ordinary, without the knowledge of Robert the younger, the ancestor of orators, and transferred to the city of New York and other places, and portions of the same invested in real estate and other property in said city of New York and other p aces, and also in various profitable busi ness enterprises, all of which was unknown to Robert the younger in his lifetime, and only discovered by orators through their counsel within a period of six months last past. That no inventory of the estate, nor re port or account of the same has been made or filed by the executors, neither have any letters testamentary been taken out, and no distribution of the bequests or devises been made or procured by the executors, and no laches are attributable to the orators, nor their ancestors therefor, and no distribution under the will or according to law can be had until executors are appointed iu the place and stead of the executors deceased.. That Robert Habersham, and the firm of Robert Habersham & Sous, and the suc cessors of said firm, known as Robert Hab ersham’s Sons, now have or recently had possession of a large portion of the papers belonging to the unsettled and undistribu ted estate of Robert Bolton, deceased, of Sa vannah, and also belonging to the firm of Robert and John Bolton, together with a large amount of other property belonging thereto, and for which they ought to ac count to the Court of Ordinary, as trustees under a resulting trust, or to the executors appointed in the jjlace and stead of the ex ecutors nominated and appointed by Robert Bolton, merchant, deceased, of Savannah. HOW NOW ? Decision of the Supreme Court iu Tunis Ciiinpbcli’s Case. By a private dispatch from Atlanta, we learn that the Supreme Court, on Saturday, dismissed the case of Tunis G. Campbell vs. State of Georgia. This affirms the decision of the Court below (the Mclntosh Superior Court), and Campbell will now have to servo the term in the penitentiary for which he was sentenced. This case is an entirely dif ferent one from the one which Farrow, Thomas and other Radical leaders are en devoring to have moved to the United States Courts, so as to have the “ Governor of St. Catherine’s” on hand to raise a row in Mcln tosh county at the ensuing elections. The Evil Fruits of Weak Digestion. There is no pathological fact more clearly ascer tained than that the most formidable phases of nervous diseases are directly traceable to imper fect digestion. Insomnia, with its train of dire ful consequences, proceeds more frequently from weakness of the stomach than from any other cause. Mere sedatives are powerless to cure ner vousness, and soon cease to palliate its symptoms. The true way to strengthen the nervous system is to invigorate the digestive and assimilative or gans, upon whose unobstructed action its equili brium is absolutely dependent. The daily use of Ilostetter’s Stomach Bitters will do more to brace and soothe the weakened and irritated nerves, and induce sound, refreshing .sleep— nature’s grand catholicon —than all the so-called nervines to be found in the pharmacopoeia or out of it. A wineglassful of the Bitters should be taken before each meal. nov3-F,M&W3 Amusement nnd Instruction Combined.

OFFICE OF THE MORNING NEWS,) Savannah, December 7. 1875. j General Remarks. —There has been some improvement in trade the past week, though somewhat lighter than for the same time last year. A tew interior merchants are in the mar ket now, and irom this time to Christmas a good trade is anticipated in holiday goods, and of course an increase in the sale of regular goods for sorting up stocks, etc. The dry goods trade has shown little or no change since our last re port. Prices remain unchanged, though there is an apparent weakness in domestic cotton goods, which will probably decline under unfavorable adviceg from controlling markets. The grocery and provision trade has been much more active than for several weeks previous, and a fair aggregate amount of business has been done. Orders have come in very freely, which has con stituted the largest part of the trade. Meats have suffered a very considerable decline under the depression in the Western markets. Flour has been weak and drooping, and has declined from 25c. to 50c. per barrel. There have been no other price changes worthy of note, and the market is generally firm. The money market has been active all the week, owing to the large amounts of cotton held by factors, which has had a depressing influence on securities. State bonds however, have been firm, and have commanded full prices: Cotton.—The market has been dull and drooping all the week, under adverse advices from abroad and the inclement weather of the past five days, which has operated to prevent sampling, and consequently business has been somewhat restricted. The only change in quota tions since last report has been a decline ot %c. on good middling. The daily resume of the market below will give its correct tone and con dition for the week.

Rice.—There has been a moderate demand during the week, and prices ruled steady at quo tations. There has been some reluctance mani fested by b-jyere, but holders were nnwilliDg to make concessions, and bargains have been made at full rates. The bad weather for the past three days restricted the trade somewhat, and the sales for the week amount to only about 250 casks.
