A Colony for Florida. —A special ; train passed through Bowling Green, Kentucky, last Thursday containing three hundred people, en route for Florida. They wore badges inscrib ed, “Miller’s colony.” Mr. James V. Kenniokcl, assistant fireman of the Savannah News office, has lost but four working days in the past five years, or two hundred and sixty weeks, and he shows no symp toms yet of “stepping down and out.” The Savannah Weekly Register has suspended. Cause: Its editor got to dabbling in religion; that is, he un dertook to everlastingly wipe out Catholicism with nis goose quill and run a secular or news paper at the same time. In making an inventory of the “sup plies” that will be taken on the At lanta Constitution's Okefenokee explor ing expedition, Col. Clark seems to have entirely overlooked one very important commodity— “something for snake bites.” • A woman cured her husband of staying out late at night hy going to the door when he came home and whispering through the key-hole, “Is that you, Willie ?” Her husband’s name is John, and he stays at home every night now, and sleeps with one eye open and a revolver under bis pillow. A wandering band of Cbyenne In dians come across the United States troops stationed nt Fort Hayes, Kan sas, the other day, and put them to flight. Two of the “boys in blue” are reported dead, though it is not stated whether they were shot or frightened to death by tho savage Red Men. If it is constitutional for congress to delegate to 2000 banks the au thority to furnish the people with pa per"money and pay these banks $20,- 000,000 per annum for such service, would it not be equally constitutional for the government to furnish the money itself when it can be done without cost to tho people ?—Nash ville American. The farmers of Dougherty county, ns wo learn from the Albany News, will hold a mass meeting on next Saturday for the purpose of discuss ing and devising some measure cal culated to summarily suppress the stealing and selling of seed cotton in small quantities in the night time. This evil seems to be practiced to a fearful extent in that county'. W. E. Mumford, of tho Talbotton Standard, will be united in marriage with Miss Ida E. Leonard, of the same place, to-day. With but one exception wo believe Ed. is the youngest editor on the Georgia press, but ho is a young man of considera ble talent and indomitable energy, and gets out a good paper. We join a benedict contemporary in predicting that “inspired by the love of the fair young girl who will soon unite her fortunes with his,” Ed. will make his mark in the world This Fish Story is from the Hawk insville Diepalch: A man in Mont gomery county set a fish basket in the Oconee river, and caught at one baiting three cat fish averaging six and a half feet long, and making a to tal length of nineteen and a half feet, and also about a bushel of smaller eats. The basket was too heavy to lift into tho boat and bad to bo drawn through the water to a sand bank on Die shore, where it was rolled out on land.

The fifth annual exhibition of the South Georgia Agricultural and Me chanical Association was so well at tended by our people last week, and ! has since been so fully written up by j the press of this section of the State that wo shall not attempt to give our; readers anything like an account of j what wc saw during the two days that j wo wero there. All that we desire to say, therefore, is, that wo belong to that class of attendants who have no , hesitancy in pronouncing it the grandest success in the way of an ag- j ricultural fair that has over been : chioved by the people of any other section of Georgia. As an agricultural fair it was far su perior to tho one held by the State Agricultural Society at Macon tho week before, the quantity of farm pro ducts and home-made articles, such as come into every day use, being much greater, and of better quality. The Grangers added n great deal to the success of the Fair, and the display made by them alone was i worth going to see. Whilst in the j exhibition hall of tho Boston Grange iwe tried to think of something that wo had over seen growing in South ern Georgia of which we could not find a sample, but we utterly failed, and found many things that we bad never seen or heard of before. In this hall alone we saw a greater va riety of farm products, vegetables, homespun goods, clothing, bed quilts, jellies, preserves, fruits, etc., than we saw at the State Fair all put together. Perhaps it is none of our business, and we may be a poor judge of what it takes to mako “the best agricultu ral display,” but we are of the opin ion that Boston Grange was entitled 1 to tho premium. These annual exhibitions of our country’s productions are stimulating to our farmers, and the good results that naturally follow can readily bo seen as they increase each year, and we trust that the spirit of rivalry which seems to have arisen between the different Granges and communi ties will not die, but increase until the j results of energy and skill, when ap plied to the fertile lands of Southern Georgia fully domonstrats what we verily believe: that ours is “the gar den spot of earth.” The Baby Show on Saturday was one of the most interesting features of the Tkomasville Fair. Nineteen entries were made, and the first pre mium—a SIOO Singer sewing machine —was awarded to Miss Florida Auettc Davis, age fifteen months and tlie progeny of Mr. L. G. Davis, of Thomas county. Then Capt. John Deppish, of the firm of Palmer & Deppish; Mr. J. Putnam, represent ing the carpet house of E. Schwarz, of Savannah, and Mr. W. E. Barnes, of Quitman, each presented a handsome present to Master Brandon M. Hall, age seven months, weight twenty three pounds, and the cherub of Mr. T. A. Hall, of this paper. To each of these gentlemen above mentioned we desire to say, in behalf of Mr. Hall and bis lady, that the handsome tokens of admiration of which Master Brandon was the unex pected recipient, are highly apprecia ted, and that thoy shall be made life time mementoes of the esteemed do nors. Thanksgiving Proclaination. Washington, Oct. 27.—1n accord ance with a practice at once wise and beautiful, we have been accustomed, as the year is drawing to a close, to devote an occasion to humble ex pression of our thanks to Almighty God for the ceaseless and distin guished benefits bestowed upon us as a nation, and for his mercies and protection during the closing year. Amid the rich and free enjoyment of all our advantages, we should not forget the source from whence they aro derived, and tho extent of our ob ligations to the Father of all mercies. We have full reason to renew our thanks to Almighty God for his favors bestowed upon us during the past year. By His continuing mer cy, civil and religious liberty have been maintained, peace has reigned within our borders, labor and enter prise have produced their merited re wards aud to His watchful providence we are in indebtedness for security, from pestileuco and other national calamity. Apart from national bless ing each individual among us has oc casion to thoughtfully recall and de voutly recognize the favors and pro tection which Ho Las enjoyed us. Therefore I, U. S. Grant, President of tho United States, do recommend that on Thursday, tho 25th day of November the people of tho United States abstaining from all secular pursuits, and from tlieir accustomed avocations, do assemble in their re spective places of worship, and in such form as nmy seem most appro priate in their own hearts, offer to Almighty God their acknowledg ments and thanks for all his mercies, and tlieir hhmblo prayers for a con tinuance of his divine favor. In witness whereof, I have here unto set my hand and caused tlie seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington this the 27th day of October, A. J). 1875, and of the independence of the United States the one hundredth By tho President. U. S. Grant. Hamilton Fish, Secretary of Stutc. The Original Moody. A Strange Chapter from the brent Itovi- j vulist’s Earlier History. [Now Yolk Special to tho Chicago Times.] It seems that the great revivalist, Moody, was not always the good man he is at present, but his virtue is now all the more deserving of praise, as from what now comes to light once upon a time Mr. Moody seems to have overcome tho worst of human onrses, that of drunkonness. The story goes, and it appears to bo corroborated by those who saw him at the time, that twelve years ago Mr. Moody was a driver on tho line of tho Jersey City and Bergen horse Ruilrood, but that after serving there a short time his continual inebriety was finally tho cause of his being discharged. Ho was known by car conductors aloug the line for the almost helpless condi tion he would get, in at times and the habitually boozy nature of his life. A reporter called to-day at the sta bles of the company to ascertain what facts there were in this singular story of the regeneration of the great evan gelical religionists. The superintend ent of the company is not the same as ho who acted at the time of the alleg ed moral terpitude of Moody, but if lie were the same there would not be much probability of liis remembering one name or one face among the thousands who have passed before him in the meauwnilo. The assistant said ho had heard the subject spoken of among the conduc tors and drivers, and some of them had talked of a picture of the present Mr. Moody being identical with that of the man who was employed on the line and discharged for inebriety. In the conversation the name of a man named Garney, an old driver on the road, from whom the story seems to have sprung, was several times mentioned. This man was subsequent ly found. He alledges that twelve years ago lie was a driver on this line and that Moody was there also. Ho could not mistake him. It was the same face and beard, and tho same stout body. He remembered, also, that Moody came from Connecticut. It was during the winter of 1763 that he knew him, and he remembered it, because R was so cold that Moody used to ™ continually complaining of freezing, and used to drink to keep himsef warm. Liquor had a wonder ful effect upon him and affected him immediately, so that he became as drunk as if struck by lightning. He used to say he had never drank any before, but that it was impossible to resist under the circumstances. He used to get so that he would have 1 to leave the car and would sit down in the stables and go to sleep. Ho was ivarnod several times and seemed very penitent; but he would fall into the same ways again, until he got discharged. Gurney believed that he was taken back once and discharged again, but he is not certain of this ; but that it was James Moody, who is now the great evangelist. Garney is certain. He remembered that after he left the company, Moody loafed around the place, perhaps hoping to get back, and then suddenly niude up his mind to go West. He' tTTd so, and drifted to Chicago, where he be came a hotel porter. Garney remembers that when Mr. Moody would be under the influence of liquor ho would become very talka tive and religious and deplore his manner of life. Ho used to get peo ple around him who would listen and laugh at what was then only the elo quence of drink. However extraordinary this story may appear, it seems to be implicitly believed by those who work and live around the locality of Bergen Hill. No written record is kept of the dri vers, so that it is impossible to get at this kind of proof, but those on the line at the time are certain of these facts, and they are given for what they are worth. The Crops iu Georgia. report of the state agricultural department. Atlanta, October 29.—The report of the Georgia State Department of Agriculture up to the 15th instant shows an estimated yield, as compared with last year, of corn 80 and of cot ton 73 per cent. Estimated acreage, compared with last year, of wheat sowed and to sow this fall, 112; of oats, 145. Eighty-three per cent, of the correspondents of the Depart ment report cotton picking better ad vanced than last year, aud 03 per cent, report it saved in good condi tion. The average cost of raising a bushel of corn in Georgia is reported at 58 cents, aud of oats 29 cents, and a pound of cotton 11 cents. The av erage cost of raising a horse or mule to three yeai's old is reported to be sixty dollars. The number annually raised is reported to be 6,033, and $3,100,000 were expended this year in buying horses and mules brought into the State. Ninety-one per cent, of the correspondents report an in crease in stock hogs, and forty-seven per cent, report a full supply of pork raised at Ninety-six per cent, report that cottbn cannot be raised at a profit at the present prices on bought farm supplies, while eighty four per cent, say it can be raised at a profit at present prices if all supplies are raised on the farm. Twenty eight gin houses wero burned by in cendiary fires, and fifteen by acci dental fires in the State in the past twelve months, involving a loss of over $70,000. Tho negroes are re ported in debt to farmers and mer chants for supplies advanced last year and carried over to this year, $1,465,- 700. MOODY PROPOSES A DAY OF FASTING. New York, November I.—Moody proposed November 4th to be ap pointed as a day of fasting and prayer for God’s blessing. Carried by a standing vote. Three thousand peo ple unanimously resolved to unite all the churches in America iuto observ ing the day. Tho Ttvo-Tliinl Rule. [From tho Albany Nows.] The Griffin News and Messenger bus its say about the “two-thirds rule,” and in opposing with vehemence and virulence a return to the majority rule, gets off this remarkable hyper bole: “Wo wanf.no deviation from the old, well-tried nlid successful rules. The pure, patriotic Jeffersonian principles which animated tho breasts and con trolled the actions of our noble ances tors, are such as aroused the admira tion of the world and made our coun try the best government ever known.” If brother Brown will study tho history of tho “ two-thirds rule,’’ ho will find that it is not a “Jeffersonian principle," and that it did not “ ani mate the breasts and control the ac tions of our noble ancestors.” It was a fraud in the beginning, and is per petuated to defeat tho will of tho people. The rule was a wily trick, adopted to kill off Martin-Van Buren in the National Democratic Convention in 1844, who Was a prominent candidate for the nomination for a second term. The trick succeeded, and- a second rate man, in tho person of James K. Polk, was the unobjectionable com promise nominee that made Henry Clay exclaim, “ beat again, by God !” The rule was never mentioned in any previous Convention, and would not then except for Van Buren’s freo soil proclivities. In 1848 the precedent was adhered to, and so disturbed the harmony of the party as to enable “Old WkiUsley” to get away with Mr. Cass, In 1852 it turned up the obscure and harmless citizen of New Hamp shire, setting aside tho long tried, meritorious und ablest men of the party. In 1856 it gave us the impotent, imbecile old bachelor Buchanan. And in 18G0, at Charleston, it dis integrated the party, put two Demo cratic candidates in the field, elected Lincoln and brought on the war. After the war, in 18G8, it was ex humed from the debris of a nation’s ruin and forced Mr. Seymour upon the party, and again in 1872 over threw us with Horace Greeley as its ill-starred offspring. The truth is the rule is not and ought never to be the recognized cus tom or policy of the party. It is simply a fungus, and has ac complished good, perhaps, only in the single instance of developing Joe Brown in 1857. The writer was in the gubernatorial convention of December, 1871, and a member of the committee on rules and business. The gifted and la mented Garnett MeMillen urged the two-thirds rule, but the committee re ported in favor of the majority rule by a vote of 10 to 4. Mr. MeMillen opposed the adoption of the majority report before the con vention in an able and eloquent speech. We made the only speech in reply, in which we gave the history and evil effects of the rule. The vote of the convention was 131 for majori ty and 38 for two-thirds. The convention that nominated Gov. Smith in July, 1872, again ig nored the monstrous absurdity, and nominated by acclamation. With such a record can any well meaning Democrat insist upon its per petuation. It was begotten in iniqui ty, and has lived on the prostitution of honor and the debauchery of tho party. Let it sleep in the grave wherein we interred it in 1871. Hard Story on Kelly. —“ Halifax” writes as follows from Atlanta to the Chronicle and Sentinel, concerning Kelly’s visit to that city in 18G7: When Mr. Kelly was here, after he had made his speech, several gentle men called upon him at his hotel. He received them graciously, as if he wero a person of consideration and they his peasant tenantry. One of them extended an invitation to go visit him socially. Ho straightened himself up to the utmost of his pigmy height, elevated his voice, put on a lofty, swaggering air, and with disgusting pomposity replied as fol lows: “No, you must excuse me. I resolved before leaving home that I would stop nowhere save at the hotel, j and I have adhered to this resolution |so far, except on one occasion. When I was in New Orleans and addressed the people, there was a large number of colored people present. After I was through with my address a num ber of these colored people came for ward and were introduced to me. Many of them were intelligent, well dressed and educated; some of the colored ladies were quadroons, with handsome features, elegantly attired, well educated, and conversed fluently. They were mostly of French extrac tion and bringing up, but spoke Eng lish very well, with just enough French accent to give their language a charm. Their hair was smooth, wavy and glossy, and their bare arms and shoulders plump and luscious. One of the colored gentlemen asked me if I would be offended if a colored man should ask mo to go to his house and dine with him. I told him I certainly should not be offended, and he then very politely, but modestly, invited me to his house, in which his wife, who was present, joined with appro priate language and deportment. I accepted the invitation and went with them. I found they lived in a very elegant house, richly furnished with costly carpets and furniture, and hand some hooks and pictures. Their table was beautiful and supplied with every luxury. I never saw a more elegant table in a private family, and never saw anybody preside at dinner with more accomplished dignity, politeness and genuine hospitality. I was well entertained and never enjoyed a visit moro than on this occasion. It is the only instance in which I have accept ed an invitation to visit a private fam ily, though I have had hundreds of them from the best people in the South. No; you must excuse me on this occasion. By Telegraph. CONDENSED FOR THE QUITO MAN REPORTER. . SNOW AND ICE. I’ort Jervis, N. Y., November I.

Moody’s discourse was on the “Hope which all have of finally reach ing Heaven and meeting those who have gone before.” His remarks were very impressive, and many wept. In the afternoon service was held exclusively for men, at which there was also a full house. POOLS ON THE ELECTION. Philadelphia, November 1. —Pools on the result of to-morrow’s election were sold to-night iu this city as fol lows: On Hartrauft’s majority in the State, SSO to $45 on 15,000 majority; SIOO to SGO on 13,000 majority, and $25 ta sls that he will lead his ticket iu the city; $lO even that Piolett will have a majority outside of the city.
