An “anonymous” check for $5,000 is reported

It is well known that the average Western

The head waiter of the Chinese imperial

The inmates of tho Tuscaloosa, Ala., Lunatic

The only really curious part of the affair is
that all engaged in the enterprise should be
fortuuate enough to bo under appropriate

An anecdote is thus told of M. Ranc, the
Deputy, whose prosecution for sympathy with
the Commune has been revived by the French
Government after two years. In 1853 he was
examined in the case of a clerk who was charged
with having designed to shoot the Emperor,
lhe Judge said, “M. Ranc, from what I see iu
these papers, you endeavored to dissuade the
prisoner from assassination.” M. Ranc looked
relieved, and replied that he had done so. “But
how ?” continued the Judge. “The prisoner
tells us that you said, ‘You are short-sighted,
and w ill miss him." M. Kane's head drooped and
his maimer admitted that only in the novel
way mentioned he had f ried to discourage the
intending assassin.

BILL ARP.
The readers of the Chronicle and
Sentinel will be glad to learn that Bill
Arp, the celebrated Southern humorist,
will contribute a series of letters to this
paper. The articles will coutain an ac
count of the author’s travels North
and his observations upon what he saw
and heard on the other side of the
Potomac. The first of the series appears
in our columns this morning, and carries
the readers from Rome to Baltimore via
the pretty girls and the eating-houses of
East Tennessee. Aside from the quaint
humor of the epistle, it also contains
much to instruct, and one cannot help
feeling interested in the account of Dr.
Chisolm’s scientific “eye-shop” in the
Monumental City, nor fail to be pleased
at the happy result of the operation
performed by the skillful oculist upon
the eyes of Mr. Arp’s traveling compan
ion.
A CARPET-BAGGER.
[From the Wilmington (N. C.) Journal.]
A desire having .frequently been ex
pressed in certain quarters to obtain a
correct definition of the term carpet
bagger, we subjoin, as one of the best
we have ever seen, the response made
by General A. R. Wright, of Georgia, to
a similar interrogation submitted in the
Ku-Klux investigation, before the Special
Committee of Congress, It may be
found on page 301, volume VI, of that
delectable history entitled the “Ku-
Klux Conspiracy,” and reads as follows :
“Question. Speaking of carpet-baggers,
will you define what you mean by the
term ; I should like to know what you
mean.
‘ ‘Answer. I will give you any assistance
I can on that point. I mean a man
who goes down in the South to make his
fortune by politics, to stir up strife be
tween the races, and try to get office as
Governor or Judge, member of the
Legislature or Senator; men who go
there with politics as a trade ; low peo
ple, without reputation or standing at
home, who go there hoping that in the
upheaval of society they may make
something by it.”
——
A LARGE SALE.
A sale is recorded of four-fifths of the
vast property belonging to the Central
Pacific California Railroad Company.—
This is probably the largest transaction
ever made in railroad property. The
corporation owns and controls about
1,500 miles of railroad, besides steam
boats and ferries, valuable real estate in
San Francisco and other places, and im
portant privileges and franchises. It
owns the road from Ogden to San Fran
cisco, 900 miles; another from Sacramen
to to San Francisco, 100 miles; lines
running through the centre of the State
to Oregon in the north, and connecting
with the Southern Pacific in the South,
about 400 miles; and the Napa Valley
Road, 50 miles. It is reported that Col
onel Thomas A. Scott and others have
bought the southern lines in the in
terest of the Southern Pacific. Four
fifths of all the rest of the property have
been transferred to a company of San
Francisco capitalists. The other one
fifth is retained byDeland Stanford, one
of the original owners and now the
President. The Springfield Republican
draws attention to the fact that this
transfer breaks up a combination of five
men, consisting of Judge Crocker, his
brother Charles Crocker, Leland Stan
ford, C. P. Huntingdon and Mark Hop
kins, who were the first to give life to
the project of spanning the continent
with an iron rail.
UNIFICATION IN NEW ORLEANS.
General Beauregard has published a
bold, frank and manly letter, vindicating
the part which he took in the recent
“ unification” meeting held in the city
of New Orleans. He declares that his
conduct lias been governed by no wish
for office or individual emolument, but
from a sincere desire to restore peace and
prosperity to the people of Louisiana,
and he states that his recognition of the
social equality of the colored race is only
a recognition of the Constitution of the
State which was adopted several years
ago. We repeat now what we have said
before, that we believe the course of
General Beauregard and his associates
in the unification folly has been ex
tremely unwise and imprudent; that they
will discover ere long how fatal is the
mistake which they have made. But,
at the same time, we do not feel prepared
to denounce them for their participation
in that meeting. We who live in Geor
gia, though we read graphic recitals and
vivid accounts of the outrages heaped
upon the people of Louisiana, cannot
form an adequate idea of what they
really have to endure. The malady is
violent enough to induce them to try
any remedy, however desperate. Our
fear is that the remedy will prove worse
than the disease. Such men as Beaure
gard and Harry Hays are undoubtedly
honest in what they are doing, and have
been grossly and unjustifiably abused.
It will require some stronger proof than
the flippant assertions of hot-headed
newspaper scribblers to make the South
ern people believe that the hero of the
first Manassas is “ more infamous than
Beast Butler.”
COPPER MINE IN GREENE
COUNTY.
The Greensboro Herald says about
fifty years yigo considerable pure copper
was discovered on the surface of lands
recently owned by Judge Tuggle, situat
ed in Greene county, about three miles
from Union Point. A company was
formed and a shaft forty feet deep was
opened, going below the copper vein
without touching it; the work was then
abandoned. The works remained in
tact. Quite recently a new company has
been formed, with a capital of SIO,OOO,
all of which will be expended, if neces
sary, in fully developing the resources
of the mine. They have a twenty horse
power engine, and are slowly pro
gressing with their work. A tunnel of
twenty-eight feet carries them to the
bottom of the vein, which is exceedingly
rich in pure copper. They have already
brought to the surface many tons of ore
mixed with dirt. The value of this mix
ture is estimated at $75 per ton, yielding
from 15 to 36 per cent, of copper. This
estimate is not from their last analysis,
which is much richer. It also contains
sulphur in large quantities, which may
readily be converted into sulphuric acid,
for which there is great demand as a
means of converting the bone phosphate
into soluble matter for the farmer. As
yet none of the ore has been shipped,
but arrangements are making to do so
at once, making Baltimore their market.
According to its present measurement
and estimated value, it is placed at SB,-
000,000
A COSTLY PAVEMENT.
Some time since the city of Memphis
determined to treat herself to a large
supply of Nicholson pavement. This
she did without hesitating to count the
cost, and when the work was done and
the bill presented for payment the city
was unable to respond. The contrac
tors brought suit in the United States
Court and obtained judgment for the
neat little sum of five hundred thousand
dollars. To satisfy the execution a tax
of seven per cent, will be levied upon
the property of the city. The dispatch
states that the people are greatly exas
perated, at which we are not at all sur
prised. But their exasperation will
hardly reduce the amount of the judg
ment or the rate of taxation. They had
better pay up as soon as they can and
then profit something by the informa
tion which they have purchased at such
a fancy figure. Cities, like individuals,
should remember that pay-day comes
and they had better be satisfied of their
ability to foot the bill before they rush
into extravagant expenditures. It is a
little astonishing how much wisdom and
economy a seven per cent, tax teaches.
Chicago to the Sea.
Proceedings of a railroad meeting,
held in Hartwell, Ga., July Ist, 1873, in
the interest of the great railroad enter
prise which is now being proposed from
Chicago to the seaboard via the Augusta
and Hartwell Railroad,
Read the minutes of our last meeting,
which were unanimously adopted.
At our last meeting the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted :
Whereas, We have heard with great
gratification that there is a prospect of
the Augusta and Hartwell Railroad be
ing built in connection with a great
through line from the West to the sea ;
and in consequence of formidable com
pition from two rival routes, to-wit :
One by Anderson and the other by
Athens, it becomes essential to the suc
cess of the Augusta and Hartwell Rail
road that the nearest, most dipect, and
cheapest route, shall bo selected for the
location of said road; therefore,
Resolved, That the route we propose,
as such, is to follow the line of the Blue
Ridge Railroad to Seneca City (the
junction of the Blue Ridge Railroad
with the Air Line Railroad), thence to
Andersonville, thence down the valley
of the Savannah river to Augusta.
Motion made and unanimously car
ried that invitations be sent to tile fol
lowing gentlemen to be present as speak
ers: General Harrison, from Anderson,
S. C.; Dr. Casey, Augusta, Ga.; Dr.
Wilkes, Lincolnton, Ga.; Hon. Elbert
Rucker, Ruckersville, Ga.; Hon. Henry
Moore, Geo. T. Jackson, Esq., Augusta.
And also this invitation is extended to
all others interested to be present as
speakers, along the line from Wulhalla
to Augusta.
Motion made and carried that a com
mittee of invitation be appointed, who
shall solicit speakers to attend this
meeting. The following were appointed:
Dr. Clark, of Ruckerville, and Dr. J.
L. Turner anil Cant. J. F. Oroft, of
Hartwell.
Motion made and carried that the Sec
retary be requested to send a copy of
these proceedings to the Chronicle and
Sentinel, of Augusta.
Adjourned until the first Tuesday in
August next.

Crop Prospects.
WOODVILI.E, GKEENE CoTNTY, Ga., (
July 8, 1873. \
Editors Chronicle and Sentinel:
In my communication of the 6th June
I stated that crop prospects in this sec
tion were anything but favorable, and
that cotton had been damaged by con
tinuous rains, grass, &c., at least 25 per
cent. Time has proven beyond all
doubt the truthfulness of the assertion,
and to-day I am fully satisfied that
Greene county will not make, with the
most favorable seasons from now out,
more than two-thirds of the cotton it
did the past year. In Greene and Ogle
thorpe counties hundreds of acres have
been turned out, and hundreds more
will not pay the cost of cultivating,
gathering, &c. Occasionly I hoar of
splendid lots of cotton that has been well
cultivated, and even of those some re
port them very poorly fruited. Cotton
on red lands is better than that on
sandy, and where it has been well work
ed looks promising. Corn is good where
it has been well cultivated. Bottom or
low ground corn generally very sorry.
A poor crop of wheat, a good crop of
oats, and we have had, I assure you, an
extra good crop of grass. D.
The Supreme Court.
Editors Chronicle & Sentinel :
In your paper of a few days since you
call attention to the enormous business
of the Supreme Court, and ask that
some plan be suggested by which the
number of cases may be diminished.
How would it do to restrict the juris
diction of the Court to cases involving a
certain sum ? Let the minimum be
fixed at §I,OOO, and allow no case to be
taken up for review in which less than
that amount is involved. I am con
vinced that with such a law in force the
business would be reduced at least two
thirds, and the Judges could do their
work in three months instead of ten, as
at present. Lawyer.
