Boss Tween. -On last Sunday night Boss Tweed succeeded in making bis escape from custody. Ho went i;i charge of officers to his home in New York to vi.dfc his wife, whom he said lie desired to see alone, lie was per mitted to enter their private apart ment alone, and that was the last seen of him. Twenty minutes after bis escape word reached every police station in the city, and a reward of ten thousand dollars has been offer ed for his arrest. Up to the latest ac counts no cine as to his wherea bouts had been obtained, but it is thought that he is still in the city and that he will be captured. It is whispered from Washington that President Grant, having failed to run down the fox called Cuba, is now in mil cry after the fox called Mexico, and that the hounds which we heard the other day at Key West and on the south Atlantic coast will sown be baying along the lii > Grand. . It is a grave mi duke for l'resideut Grant to imagine that any war policy will so far condone the errors of his administration and so far accustom the people to the violation of a great constitutional provision so as to allow him to win a third term. If his friends should, even under tlio inspi ration of a war cry, nominate him for a third term it will be. -bad for the republican party.— Sew York Herald. New Varieties op Skoar Cane.— There is anew movement on foot, among influential men in Louisiana, says tlio Savannah News, to induce the next Congress to fit out another vessel for tlio purpose of collecting varieties of the hardest sugar canes of South America and the Imlios for culture in Louisiana. This move ment is actuated by the knowledge that thcr • are species of cane which can be cultivated much more advan tageously than that already grown in the State, and which will be of vast interest to this growing industry there. Experiments with Java cane have been tried recently, but the re sult was unsuccessful, the stalk being very thin and really of no more value than sorghum. From seed of Sagua La Grande (Cuba) cane, however, the results were all that could bo de sired. Tlio cane is of a whitish color, with a rich brown on the side subject to the sun. There are said to bo many varieties adapted to our soil and climate which the Louisianians are determined to procure. Education in Virginia. Mr. Editor: “The number of pupils attending schools of all sorts in the counties now constituting Virginia was: In 1850, 51,808; in 1860, 07,024; in 1870, 58,974. Observe the wide contrast in school attendance: In 1800, 07,024; in 1875 it is 207,771 J Iu Richmond, Va., in the year 1872, it cost on an average $43.29 to send a child to a private school for nine months (taking the average of schools and academies); (ho cost in tlio- pub lic schools of Richmond for the same length of time was $13.41. To edu cate tlie 4,000 children on the rolls of (.he public schools in that city would cost nearly $200,000. It actually cost that year less than $02,000, a saving of $138,0001” — Dr. IV* I‘. S.

This body met last Monday, and for the first time since 1859 a majority of the members of the House of Rep resentatives arc democrats- Jus. L. Orr, of South Carolina, who was j elected in 1857, bring the last demo-1 (■ratio speaker. The present -the forty-fourth Congress is fresh from tlie people, and even in its organization it can be plainly seen that the representatives of the different sections reali/.o the; fact that they have been commissioned j to put an end to the recklessness, ex travagance and corruption which have been the order of the day for now these many years. Hon. Micheal C. Kerr, of Indiana, the new speaker cleat, is a man who has been in Congress before, and ; during a period, too, when corruption was supreme iu the capital of the ' country. He has proven himself to j be a mini- oilinflexihlii convictions and sure integrity, and all honest, high- • minded people feel gratified at seeing . him in the important position he has boon chosen to occupy, and have the greatest confidence in his fair and in- j corruptible administration. An analysis of the new Congress shows that tlio Senate consists of j forty-three Republicans, twenty-eight, Democrats and two Independents, besides the contested seat from Lou isiana. The whole number of repre sentatives is two hundred and seventy five, of which one hundred and sixty-four are Democrats, one hun dred and two Republicans and six Independents. Geo. M. Adams, of Kentucky, lias been elected Clerk of the House, and 1 Lafayette A. Fitzhugb, of Texas, ' Doorkeeper. They are both Demo crats, and the latter was Sergeaut-at- Arms for the Confederate Congress. Congressional' The following is the speech made by Mr. Kerr ppoii taking his scat as Speaker of the House: Gentlemen of the House of Ri:pre [ sentatives: I am truly gratified for j the honor you have conferred in call ing me to this exalted station, i I profoundly appreciate the importance i and delicacy of its duties. I shall, j doubtless, many times need your pa i tient indulgence. I pray that you will grant it, and with nothing but kindly feeling toward every member |of the House, I promise that in all : official acts I will' divest myself, to i the utmost of my ability, of all ptr -1 uonal bias, and observe complete fair ness and impartiality towards all, and towards all the great mid diversified interests of our country represented iu this House. Two hundred and eighty niemh tk were present. In swearing in the members, Messrs. Morey, of Louis iana, and Goode, of Virginia, were asked to stand a, hie, as they were contested. A motion to refer Mr. ! Morey’s credentials, after a warm discussion, failed, and he was sworn in. Mr. Goode, after a short discus : siou, was also sworn in. Air. Lamar offered a resolution do • during the following officers of the House: Clerk, George M. Adams, of Kentucky; Serg ■ant-at-Arins, John | G. Thompson, of Ohio; Door-keeper, i Lafayette A. Fitzhugb, of Texas; Postmaster, James M. Stewart, of : Virginia; and Chaplain, Rev. J. L. ! Townsend, of the District of Colum bia. Later from Tweed. New York, December C. — Inspec tor Dilks believes that Tweed is on ihe ocean. There is good reason to : believe that he made his escape many i hours before it was reported. It is j generally believed that Warden Dun ham ami Keeper Hogan are privy to the escape, and that. Tweed embarked i on some private craft iu East river, in ] which lie is now sailing for a foreign | port. Tweed’s cases, which were up ! to-day, were postponed. An afternoon paper has the follow ing regarding Tweed’s flight: The most probable theory is that Tweed escaped in the bark Lord Clarendon j which cleared November 11th for Queenstown. The story is that a rel ative of Tweed, not residing here, and ; known to but few in this city, reach led here some three weeks since and purchased the bark Lord Clarendon. She is a tine vessel of excellent snil j ing qualities. The theory is that the Lord Clarendon was chartered for i Tweed by his relatives, who sailed on I her. It is raid a vessel looking like her lias been seen off the east end of : Long Island. It is supposed that . Tweed was conveyed on board by a j steam tug lying in East River on Sat ' unlay evening, and was taken on ! board the Lord Clarendon. The name of the firm which cleared the , Lord Clarendon is not in the directo : rv. ! * *- . Vendors of Greenback Advertisk i iients in Trochee.— J. \V. Hallalian, [T. G. Domonkuk and J. W. Ford ; were arrested at Wilmington, Dela- I ware, on AVediiesday, for selling j “greenback advertisements,” that is, business advertisements printed on paper closely imitating a greenback note. Their plan was to sell the note paper imprinted and let the pur chasers have their advertisements printed on the notes. But before their contracts were completed Depu ty Collector I’ri tty man caused their arrest for a violation of the laws of the United States, the punishment i for which is a tine of one hundred j dollars for each offense. Tlio men w( i " committed for a hearing before I a United States Commissioner. Should they lie discharged they will bear ! rested for soiling their wares without : license. Transportation ami Commerce. OOV. SMITH INVITES GEORGIA TO REND DELEGATES TO OUICACO —HIS VIEWS ON THE INDUSTRIAL AND COM MERCIAL DEI'RKSSION. Executive Department, \ Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 2, 1875. ) To : lb ii.k ii# Georgia: I have received from the American board of transportation and com- j meroo an invitation to appoint repre sentatives from the State of Georgia to a convention to bo held in tlio city of Chicago, 111., on the 15th of the present month. Tlie object of the meeting is to so cure the benefits of cheap transporta tion to all sections of the country, j and its friends invoke the aid and . assistance of all the great industries of the laud, as theso have a common interest, and a common cause in this j question. There is nothing so essen tial to prosperity as is this matter of j I transportation, and the true cause of our present commercial depression may be traced iu a great measure to its inadequacy. Our coal anil iron i fields are idle and undeveloped because it costs too much to move their products from the interior to a ; market. Our vast water power is unoccupied beenuse tlio c'ost of pro i duction consumes the profit, and all l this due to inability to move our products cheaply. AVith natural ro i sources greater perhaps than any 1 nation upon earth, the export of our ! domestic products is below some of the second-class powers of Europe. ; England, with a territory which does j not greatly exceed in extent the State l of Georgia, exceeds in the value of her exports all the States of the Union ! combined, and in tlio last ten yours i has added $237,000,000 to that export ; I while France, during the same po ! riod, has added $220,000,000 to her export of domestic products. During i this period, however, the export of the United States has seriously de i cliued. This is due to the fact that | these countries have devoted great attention to the improvement of their public highways, thereby lessening the cost of transport, aud with it the j cost of production; while our people | have neglected this matter almost en tirely. England has expended $400,- 000,000 upon the highways of her I East Indian provinces, and the result ) is that the cotton of India, which u few years ago was looked upon with i indifference and almost contempt, | rivals us to-day in European markets, j and may prove a serious rival to ns at homo. Our export of cotton has seriously declined, while that of India has j steadily increased, and is surely driv ing ns out of the market. Russia, with her vast artificial inland naviga i lion, carries wheat and grain to west j era Europe at a less cost than we can do it, and to-day she controls the market for breadstufi's that a few years ago belonged to us. This is ihe cause of our commercial deprea j siou. This is why our mills are idle, and our iron and coal fields are un developed. Other countries produce cheaper, and they undersell us and take away our trade, because they movo their | products cheaper than we do. The ; consequence is, we buy more than we sell, and everybody knows that this jis not conducive to prosperity. It 1 drains the gold out of the country, and reduces us, for domestic use, to a paper currency, which, so long as wo continue to buy more than wo sell, j must remain at a discount as com pared with gold. The presence of gold is the result of commercial prosperity and not the cause of that prosperity. To bring back gold we must first bring back j our commercial prosperity, and this | can only be done by selling more i than we buy. Let us do this, and the gold will come back to us, and if |we sell a great deal more than we i buy, it will be very abundant, just as j money is always plentiful with you i when von make wliat you need, and have a large surplus to sell, and a ! good market for that surplus. AYo have the surplus, aud to secure the I good market wo must adopt every proper means fur lessening the cost |of our products so as to compete ; successfully with the products of ' other countries, and still have a profit !to the producer. Most of our pro j duets are heavy, and when it becomes • necessary to haul these over long distances, the cheapest means possi ! bio is requisite to ensure this profit to the producer. Hence them portance | of looking to the natural channels of i trade supplied by our rivers, as the cheapest and best means of moving ■ our heavy products, while other modes | of transportation should not bo ueg . looted. History teaches that the wealthiest j and most powerful nations of the old ; world were those who paid most at -1 tontion to their public highways, and tlio same is true to-day. England, France, Russia and Germany have devoted time, labor and money to all of their highways, and especially to their rivers and canal, and they are great and prosperous, while wo are told that “ripain lias done almost nothing towards improving her in ternal navigation.” In these two words, “almost nothing,” may be found the measure of her present j financial and political status. She controlled at one time the gold of the j world, but she did “almost nothing” for her highways, and consequently j her commerce and her industries lan guished, her gold went to pay the I excess of what she bought above ! what she sold, and in time it was swept away, and Spain, ouco “the magnificent,” is to-day a proverb of political and financial insignificance. I And so with Mexico and Fern. They j trusted to their gold. Like Spain, ' they neglected their highways, and with these their commerce and in dustries, and we have the result be lt'sens. Let us profit by the lesson. We possess a wealth that cannot be exhausted—the wealth of agricultural mil iudtixlrial products For the one J is renewed with each returning season, and the other is expanded with each : succeeding generation until they be- j come as boundless and us exhauctless i as the gifts of Providence. Let us ns j good stewards ineroaso and develop, for the good of our race, these price- j less gifts bestowed by n wise and gracious Providence. If to make two blades of grass grow where only one grow before is of more value to mankind than the founding of empires, is it not equally | important to provide tho means of j taking this surplus blade to a market,. and not suffer it to remain wasting j and worthless upon tho hands of tho | producer f The great need of our State is a di- j versified industry. AVo have cotton, ; iron, and coal, and wo need tho man ufacturer, and tlio miner. AVo need also that tho producer and tlio con- ! snmer bo brought together, and the ; means provided for making labor profitable. A careful examination j | convinces mo that the cost of trails-1 pollution is tho most serious hin-| i dranee and draw back to develop ! moot. Tlio fact is clear and unques tionable and it behooves us to provide \ ! a remedy. That remedy may be i found in part in the improvement of I our rivers and the connection of these !by such artificial means as maybe best and cheapest. Tho government iof tho United States is the coustitn-; ! tional guardian of these rivers, aud is ! the only competent power to improve laud control them, aud from that I source we should seek tlio itnprove • incuts called for. Gur rivers and nat j ural internal navigation should bo kept open aud maintained as free pnb • lie highways for the benefit aud use of j everybody. This of itself would go ; far towards solving tho question of transportation, bv building up a le gitimate competition which in the end \ would be as beneficial to the railroad as to any other interest in tho land. Eiperionce teach - s that th.iso roads ' have proved tho most profitable : where water and rail supplement each | other. The heavy freights seek th: | water line, while the lighter go b y rail. The canal and river belong to the farmer and to the producer, be j cause their products are heavy and need tho cheapest means of move i meat, while articles of luxury can af : ford the inure costly modes of trails ! port. The readv and profitable sale lof the article of necessity, however, increases the demand of tlio luxury, i and thus tho account is balanced. There should, therefore, bo no false antagonism between them, because I the result aimed at is the same. ] AA'hilo upon this point I cannot for befcr expressing the conviction that ’ most of the troubles of tho country spring out of efforts to secure lcgisla j lion in favor of this or that interest : irrespective of all other interests. Hence the bitter hostility which has siciii times mining up. The industries of a country are not naturally hostile to each i ! her any more than are the members 3f the human body. They have each,their separate functions to perform, but iu reality they are de- I pendent upon each other not only for i p ospority but for existence. Instead | therefore of fighting, they should moot together iu harmony and con sult for their This is i what the convention proposes. AVe, of the cotton States, have no ; war to make on tho other industries of tho country. On the contra- I ry, our true interests will be I found in promoting those j industries as far as possible. Aud to ! this end we should labor. In the mi- I ner of Georgia desirous of destroying i tho mining interests of the country V ) Can the cotton planter live without j the cotton manufacturer? Can either j ilo without the farmer? Since all are i dependent on each other, is it not the j best policy to unite, if possible, in oar efforts for advancement and prosperity, and to let those efforts be for tlio material advancement of ; all. The subject of the proposed con vention is to meet this cud, aud it is I desirable that all tho great interests of the country should be represented in that body. Let the planter and the farmer, and the railroad and the steamboat, and the telegraph, and | the miner, and the manufacturer, all bo represented. Let them con sult together upon these questions | which most intimately effect their respective interests.. Let their coun j ciiiugs be for the restorations of pub- I lie prosperity, and if the name sound good sense which characterizes tlie ! ordinary business transactians of our j people bo brought to bear on this question, it will do more towards a solution than all the fine spun theo ries of tho present generation. In compliance with the request made of me, I therefore respectfully ; invite and urge upon tho respective j loaards of trade, the granges and the i agricultural societies and other or ganizations and interests to send del egates to this meeting. James M. Smith, Governor. A Proposition to tiie Creditors of Alabama. —The commissioner appoint ed to adjust and liquidate the debt of the State of Alabama have adopted a plan, which they have snbmited by circular to the creditors of the State, [ inviting an early response. The proposition is the issue of anew tliir ! ty years’ currency bond, principal and ! interest payable ill Now York, as fol j lows : For the first five years at the l rate of two per cent, per annum; for f the next succeeding five years at the | rate of three per cent, per annum; ; for tho next succeeding ten years at tho rate of four per cent, per annum, and for the remaining ten years at tho rate of live per cent, per annum, Hia new bonds to bo exchanged for the old bonds at their face, all past due coupons and such as will mature on or before tho Ist of July, 1870, to bo surrendered with the bond to which they belong, without being computed as part of the amount to be exchanged for new bonds. All coupons must be surrendered. There I are now in circulation $1,000,000 of State obligations. Clippings from Our Exchanges, j The Buena Vista Argue says that a j horse, belonging to a gentleman near ; town, catches and eats all tho chick-1 ons that come within his reach. It is j supposed that lie once belonged to a i Methodist preacher. Tho Griffin News says: Mr. John j 11. AYliito returned yesterday from a long tour through Texas, lie reports i that State in a very prosperous con-1 dition, and gives it as liis opinion that there is more cotton now in tho j fields unpicked in Texas than the whole cotton crop of Georgia would aggregate. The Sumter Republican says John 1 Sims, of that county, has a piece of | cotton cloth woven iu 1700, by Mrs. | Felts, the great-grandmother of Mrs. Sims. Tho texture was very fine, and the cloth looked as if it had just been ! taken from the loom. The words, "woven in 1700,” were plainly visible | .on tho cloth. Thus tho Buena Vista Argus: Air. ! Tharp, of this county, raised on his j place this year, fifteen hales of cotton,' ono hundred bushels of corn, one! hundred bushels of sweet potatoes, ! and three barrels of syrup with one] mule. Yet there are men in this I State planting for a graveyard iu ] Texas. The Union and R eorder says that Dr. Bowen died at the Asylum last ; Wednesday. He had been an inmate ! of tlie Asylum for several years. Be- j fore he became insane ho was a mis- j • sionary to Africa, and published a ] hook on that country. Ho was aj ! gentleman of learning, and an author j !of some distinction. Ha was buried iu the cemetery of that city on Fri- : ; day. The Monroe Advertiser says: AVe mentioned some time since the receipt from L'apit. Merritt of some large] Irish potatoes, six weighing four pounds. As no ouo (.‘be would beat) ibat, (..‘apt. M. tried himself and j brought six more that weighed eight j pounds. He doesn't brag, but we ] will do that for him aud nay wo do : not believe th so potatoes can be! beaten. Dalton i'li.b',') rise: Four wagons, i ] with returned Georgians from Texas, l pi. ed : hruugh Dalton last week. 1 From tim way t: oy talked, and judg ing from the bright smiles that illu-1 i minuted the women’s faces while they told of their hardships in Texas, aud ! their joy at returning to their native State, one would think that going to Texas was a fearful experiment. Tho Mobile Register says: Up to very recently Europe was the word that sounded on the cars of all North ern persons iu bad health, hut now . “tho South” is rapidly taking Ls j place. Our section of country is fairly beginning to attract that atten tion which it justly merits as a health resort, and so we know tho battle is , more than half won. M niroo A l■’ O'/*- - ••: A correspond out from Upson county says that cholera is killing off the begs in that : county. Wo learn that tho disease is prevailing in the upper portion of j this county, in the Unionville neigh borhood. Many hogs there have j died from tho disease. A gentleman from Brantley"(i district told ns that his hogs were sick and refused to eat. It is likely they have the cholera, aud wo very much fear that the disease will become general in tho county. The porkers are scarce enough now, and if the cholera takes off the few j left in tho country, pork raising will be among tho “lust arts” for many yeais to come. The Toccoa Herald says: Mr. Mor : rison AA'illiam?, who resides on Middle river, in Franklin county, ran a one horse farm this year, and made 700 bushels of corn and nine 400 piound bales of cotton. Mr. Williams hired labor to the amount of $75 only, aud , used $35 worth of fertilizers outside I of his own compost, making an outlay lof cash capital of sllO. Now, if he : sells his corn at seventy-five cents pier bushel amThis cotton at twelve cents , per pound, he will realize the sum of $857. After deducting the cost of labor and fertilizers, he has a balance on hand of $751. The Fort Valley Mirror remarks: A singular case of somnambulism oc curred in this town on Friday night. Little Bobbie AValiis, the grandson of Mr. Bland AValiis, Sr., retired for the niglit feeling a little feverish. During his sleep he dreamed that someone was after him with a sharp stick. He got up ami tied from tlie house in his night clothe::, and nhap'cd his course directly to the swamp. He ran far I into the swamp), scratching himself with briars and wading through the water and g( Ring completely wet, ; before 1.0 awoke. Asa matter of course, he was very much bewildered, i and wandered about for some time before ho found the road and reached home. A correspondent of the Savannah ; Near:: says: Unity informed Boanerges ! that ha was a consummate scoundrel and then branched off and told him what he thought of him. The wound- I ed honor of Boanerges demanded a j sanguinary satisfaction; a challenge; ; was let loose aud tlie bclieose parties met at midnight on tho 3d instant. The weapons were pistols, distance ] ' thirty puces. Boanerges was as vnl | orous as a conquering hero, but Lis legs, like those of Lieut. Talbot, were confoundedly cowardly. At the first fire he fell with a heavy thud to the earth in a state of unconsciousness, and Huffy departed under the delu sion that he had mortally wounded | his antagonist. Both of the duellists have since been invisible, and they will learn here, for the first time, that their seconds observed the precaution of loading the deadly weapons with j blank charges. The trembling war-1 riors can now come forth into the light of day. - The grain crop of Texas this year amounts to about 8,000,000 bushels. The average price of wheat at Dallas since tho opening of the grain season has been ninety-five cents.
