Anthony begins to be talked of among the members of the woman’s party as a candidate for the Presidency. Mr. George Patten, aged seventy-six, took Mias Maria Thompson, aged seventy, as his blushing bride in Oakham county, Mich., last week. Mexico offers a prize of $2,000 for the best— i. <•., most flattering—biography of the late I’reßident Juarez. Where is the Rev. J. 8. A. B. C. Abbott? Simon Cameron has vouched for the good character of Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, and now Mitchell is looking anxiously about for somebody to vouch for Cameron. In connection with the contemplated balloon voyage of Professor Wise, it may bo as well to state that the fruit stores are now largely sup plied with currents from the West. A distinguished Massachusetts physician lias delighted his bibulous patients by expressing the opinion that “cobblers” often exert a “heeling”'action. Which may be described as a "jeti d'enpril tle-vin." The patent churn is the latest item-creator yet produced by the boundless West. A little girl at Clinton, Wis., was recently caught in the gearing of one of those implements, and ere she could be rescued looked aH if she had been spanked with a curry-comh. An “anonymous” check for $5,000 is reported to have been dropped into the contribution box of a Norwich, Conn., church. This is truly noble generosity: but unless the local papers have made a trifling mistake, we don’t exactly see how Iho money is to be obtained. A convention of all the Shaw family scatter eil through the New England States is shortly to bo held, for the purpose of determining whether they are descended from the Bhaws of of Persia, and. if so. whether they cannot rake up a claim to proprietorship in the pearl-fish eries of the Persian Gulf. It is well known that the average Western Congressman seldom opens his mouth without “putting his foot in it;” but now this unfortu nate proclivity seoms to be extmiding to the nobler animals, an lowa horse inlying nearly choked himself to death by getting one of his hind hoofs down his throat. The head waiter of the Chinese imperial household is degraded and punished for “hand ling the dishes carelessly.” Under any other government the offense might seem a trivial one for state cognizance, but in tho Flowery Kingdom it is the the gravest sort of crime to hazard the downfall of China. An astute showman has conceived tho idea of obtaining Arctic foxes for exhibition. All at tempts to keep these animals alive in cages have hitherto been failures, but the showman referred to thinks that by a combination of cage and refrigerator ho can manage to make a "big thing on ice” of the speculation. A gentleman lately arrived from Minnesota says that m the fens and ponds with which that country abounds there is a species of waterfow l entirely destitute of wings, but hav ing a broad fan-tail which it uses as a sail when there is a breeze stirring. This is the latest illustration of a traveler's tail that has come to hand. Tho vicissitudes of Japanese noblemen of tho attcien regime will some day probably fur nish and interesting subject of inquiry. One of the cx-Dalmios has adapted himself to the progressive order of the day, and, having turned his attention to tho “milky mothers of the herd,” is now a trader in “potted” milk. The Washington correspondent of the Cin cinnati Gazette writes, June 30: “ Tho impres sion is gaining ground in the best informed cir cles hero that lion. E. It. Hoar will bo appoint ed Chief Justice at the assembling of Congress next December. This is known to bo the be lief of several Judges of the Court themselves, who understand that none of themselves will receive tho appointment.” If appearances indicate anything, Chicago is getting ready to be sold out under the hammer. The Evening Post publishes a forty-eight page supplement containing a hundred and fifteen thousand places of real estate advertised for sale for taxes. Last year a twelve pager did the business. It won't do to say that Chicago is a balloon city, ready to sail away on the first north wind. That tax list will hold her down* The inmates of tho Tuscaloosa, Ala., Lunatic Asylum publish a newspaper of which the editing, reporting, type-setting and press-work are all done bv insane patients. This state ment in itself will not seem at all surprising to any one conversanc with provincial journalism. The only really curious part of the affair is that all engaged in the enterprise should be fortuuate enough to bo under appropriate treatment, instead of being left at large to grow madder every day. like the Times staff, for instance. 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. All estimable and strictly business-like mill owuer at Cohoes, last week, promptly dis charged a number of little orphan girls from i s employment for their atrocious and unnat uial behavior in wasting ever so many of the minutes which he paid for iu looking at a pass nig p 1 occasion; and now. because custom pre wenjes a lortnight’s warning of dismissal, or •» eqimalent in wages, several meddlesome Philanthropists have taken the part of the "endless chi,dren and actually brought an ac n at law against tho wealthy representative industry.” What’s the use, we anl'V /° *° k uow > of offering much work 1 itt e pay to orphans if their grievances are j ta eu n P hv other people just as if they bad natural protectors ? 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. E. W. Seidel, Secretary. 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.
