of “animus and ungenerous preju

zens,” Atlanta is our State capital, the
home of “2000 wealthy and -respecta-
ble citizens, two candidates for Gov
ernor, and the birth-place of the At
lanta Constitution, and you should
therefore speak of that wonderful city,
her people and all that is within her

A Ludickouu Centennial Incident.
—One of tho turnstiles at the Centen
nial grounds, nays a Philadelphia cor
pondeut, was the scene of a ludicrous
incident on Tuesday. A fat bov, four
teen years old (not Barnum’s, but a
home specimen from Illinois,) visited
the Centennial, and upon reaching
the usual place of entrance found it
not only impossible to pass through
any of the stiles but even uncomforta
ble to stand in the narrow alleyway
leading to the automatic contrivance.
The gatekeepers were powerless to
render assistance or advice. Their
orders were to permit nobody to pass
into the grounds except through the
stile, and yet this applicant was in the
most literal sense a “body.” What
was to be done? The boy had a fif
ty cent piece in his hand and de
manded admission. The department j
of admissions was applied to, a hur- ;

The Gubernatorial Contest in At
lanta A Diffgntee to the Stnte.
For weeks past James and Colquitt
have been wrestling with each other
for the support of Fulton county in
the Gubernatorial Convention, and
last Saturday the disgraceful contest,
in which large sums of money and
'undisguised corrupt practices were
used, was ended in a primary elec
tion by selecting James delegates.
Carriages were charted by the op
posing candidates, and voters were
driven to the pol's in style, whilst
small hills, larger beer and whiskey
tickets wore handed around among
the suffrage stingers like cards in a
kenobnuk. Votes were bought like
so many lottery tickets, the average
price paid for them, according to one
of tho city paners, being two dollars
each. Thus the banker's money held
out the longest, and delegates favora
ble to his electiontotho Chief Executor
ship of the State wire chosen by a
majority vote.
Thus has the b-ne of contention
Fulton county and the home of the
“two thousand wealthy and respecta
ble citizen,” of Bullock-Blodgett-lov
ing, bond-standing proclivities—-been
surrendered to the “wealty” contest
ant, whom the red-hot, uncompro
mising organ of his discomfited oppo
nent says refused to “tender or ac
cept any terms an honorable antago
nist could consider.”
This heated partisan contest was
probably the bitterest, and certainly ;
the most shameful, from tho foul and
corrupting means employed lfv the !
contestants, led on by their boot-;
licks, Georgia has ever witnessed.
It will certainly excite the disgust of
the people of the State outside of At
lanta to an extent that will seriously
damage the prospects of both Mr.
James and Gen. Colquitt for the po
sition they each so persistently and
relentlessly covet.
The Kendrick Trial.
The trial of Kendrick, the fallen
Columbus preacher, has been in pro
j gress since the middle of last week,
and the case probably went to the
l|lgSLji|ts(lay. Nothing new was de
the witnesses, most of
f ,'fthr same that were sworn

HHbntluss bo convicted of
as the de-
VenSemreprobahly clearly established
I tile fact that the girl Fannie Bush was
I on terms of intimacy with others before

'■* of relay says that
lie kissed and hug-
swore that lie saw
K the woods, and he aris
|P knees. Though a htin-
BffWffcTs oft', he saw he had a black
j mustache. He was not certain about
it either. Another man saw her on
| the streets at Bp. m., in 31ay, and
heard her tell a negro she was going
to see her sweetheart, but ho could
not swear positively it was her. Ken
drick’s father and two brothers were
in the court-house to-day. The evi
dence will probably close at noon to
morrow, and be succeeded by three
speeches on a side.”
“Centennial Dogs.”
New York, June 17, 1876.
Editors Reporter' —lt was pro
posed by a rural editor a short time
ago, that every man, woman and
i child in tho United States should
plant a “Centennial tree” on the 4th
i of July next, and it is not impossible
i that this curious method of celebrat
ing the day will be followed to a very
considerable extent. They will prob
ably be planted in llie back yards of
i city homes and in the streets of coun-
I try villages. There is, however, a
modification of this tree planting
| which, were it carried out, would be
of immense service to Georgia’s pros
! perity. • Why should not every Geor
gian on the 4th of July, 187 G, resolve
; that he will begin the day by planting
a dog in his back yard or his dung- j
heap ? Every thoughtful man is j
convinced that 50,000 dogs can be |
spared from the State, and what a
magnificent spectacle would Georgia j
afford if this vast array of sheep
killing, flea-shedding, carnivorous an- {
isnal was to he solemnly slaughtered
as a slight expression of your patriot- j
ism and love for free institutions ?
The thing is perfectly feasable;
! the dogs are within easy reach, and
every man, woman and child, at no
expense, can provide themselves with
a “Centennial dog” between now and
the glorious fourth. Resolve, theu,
that you will not waste any time in
setting out trees, but when the sun
of the next Fourth of July morning
sends his beams into your back yards
that they will fall like so many aure
oles upon the brows of the precise
number of freemen mentioned in the
last census, each one of whom will be
in the act of digging a Centennial
grave in which to lay the Centennial
dog, that thoughtful and intelligent
patriotism has carefully prepared for
so noble and impressive a ceremony.
What a splendid thing, not only for
the sake of patriotism, but. what a
good riddance to the people, whose |
representatives can not see the pro
priety of relieving with a tax on so j
many miserable curs.
The St. Louis Con vent, iott.
We delayed going to press until a
late hour last night in order to get
the news from the National Demo
cratic Convention, but up to the hour
of adjournment the balloting had not
commenced'. Tho entire day yester
day was consumed in discussing the
platform, which was finally adopted.
The dispatches which we received
were most meagre and unsatisfactory,
and even a synopsis of them would e
too vague for publication. The Con
vention will ho ready to proceed to
balloting this morning, and if the
nominations are made in time we will
issue au extra containing the result
this afternoon.
The first glimpse of the bloody
shirt, says t.he Boston Post, appears
in the informal request by Kellogg,
Packard and the rest for troops in
Louisiana during the campaign.
The President has readily given as
suarauce that he will “extend a strong

The means which Grant and Belknap
used to carry the election four years
ago will not be available again, either
for compulsion or for purchase. The
whisky ring contributions have been
cut oil; assessments ot post, traders
do not come in as fast as they did,
and while the campaign fund of the
administration is sadly diminished, a
prejudice in favor of election by bal
lot rather than by bayonet has arisen
in tho public mind which will render
it unwise for Grant to attempt to es:-
ry out his proposed interference with
troops.
Tint Dreaded Caterpillar
A correspondent from Clay county,
; Georgia, in a letter dated June 10,
j says, “these ravagers have made their
appearance upon tbe farm of J. F.
| Andrews, in this county, m small for
■■ ees.” With our able State Eutomol-
I ogist in the field to fight them, we
trust the little villains will soon he
j brought to grief.— Macon Telegraph.
Are we to have the caterpillar pest
; this year? It is very probable that
lwe will. The reason is that they
appeared late late year and complete
i ly devoured all of the green leaves of
j the late cotton, and their nature is to
I house themselves in worm holes, and
|to burrow in the earth, and in due
j time, or especially when the cotton is
| very tender and succulent, they come
j forth and in a remarkably short time
make our brightest prospects a bar
! rcu waste.
Hon. John H. James, the financier,

John H. James, the financier, the lib
eral patron of tbs press and the poor
man’s friend, shall he the next Gov
ernor of Georgia, and that the capital
shall not be removed from Atlanta.
But the vote in Atlanta on Saturday
does not settle those questions in
which the people of the State ak large
are supposed to feel some interest.—

Washington, D. C., June 23, 176.
The city just now gives every indi
cation of being a live if not a lively
place. The streets are thronged with
lovely women and handsome men, \
equally mixed, however, with those of j
a reversed description; or, to put it :
in plain but honest phraseology, there
are a heap of strange people here. It i
is really singnlar how readily a stran
ger in Washington is discovered to be
such, A gentleman nay be seen about
one of the hotels, or a lady on the
streets, and a Wi s'ungtouian will ask
of another, “Who is that?” The answer
comes promptly, “I don’t know, he or
she is a stranger here.” Just now, as
I have said, the streets are thronged
and the hotels and boarding houses
crowded with them. Most of them
are parties who, as tho English say,
have been “doing” Philadelphia and
are now bent upon “doing” Washing
ton before they return home.
Among the strangers in town last
evening were quite a number of dele
gates to the St. Louis Convention.
They all appear to be in high spirits,
and talked as though they meant work
in earnest. They seem bent upon
nominating a Democrat indeed in
whom there is nojpiile. Several ex
pressed a determination to have the
two third rule abolished if possible,
and it is earnestly hoped by every lov
(*r of justice that they will succeed in
their efforts to do so.

The Committee <jn the District of
I Columbia met ve.iifr.lay morning at
110:30 o’clock and considered their re
port on their investigation of District
affairs. The whole sum and substance
|of this matter seems to be that the
; examination into the financial affairs
of the District by a committe appoint
led for that purpose lias disclosed a
! reckless expenditure of public money'
by a ring of corrupt officials who,
j while throwing the money broadcast
|to roguish contractors of their own
; complexion, took good care to fill
; their own pockets to repletion. To
bring these vampires to merited pun
ishment, the report provides first,
that the Clerk of the House of Rep
resentatives bo and he is herbev in
structed to certify to the Attorney'
General of the United States a copy’
of the report, with the accompanying
evidence for such action in the prem
! ises as he may see proper under the
law and the facts as developed in said j
testimony. Second, that the Clerk of ;
the House of Representatives is fur-1
ther instructed to certify a copy of j
the evidence accompanying the re-!
port, to the Grand Jury of the Di.s-;
trict of Columbia with directions to it
to investigate the criminal charges
against parties refered to in said evi
dence as having been guilty of a vio
lation of the criminal laws of the
United States; and the Attorney Gen
eral is also directed by the aid of such
special counsel as lie may appoint to
institute suit to secure any and all
sums of money illegally’ or improper
ly obtained by an/"of the parties men
tioned in said evidence. This report
being that of the majority was adopt
ed, but the Republican members
could not thin® cf letting these ad
ministration pets go down without an

submitted a minority report. But all

Sandersville Herald'. We regret to

I the heavy rains last week. Col. T. J.
‘ Smith had a_eonsiderable body of these
lands planted in corn, upon which he
j expected to make at least fifty lmsh
els to tho acre. Nearly the whole of
it was overflowed by back water. On
Sunday (the last report we have) the
waters were abating, and it is hoped
a flne yield will yet be realized. These
Oconee lands are said bv those who
know to boas rich as the Mississippi
bottoms, and if means could be devis

within proper bounds, would be al
most priceless.

Cnn They Abolish tho Color Lino J
There is ft small class of bogus
Democrats who are nnxtons to
“abolish" the “color line,” and seem
to think, if they can only accomplish
that end, that all wi)'. he serene ami
i pleasant suiling! Well, the thing
| can be done; let them honestly and
| sincerely practice the Mongrel theory
they havo assented to in tho ah-!
stract, and mate and marry their chil- j
dren with negrixlom just as with oth-j
or people, and the time will soon Come
when the “color line" will bo abolish
ed, of course. True, it must needs
abolish themselves as well ns the
“colored people,” just as we witness
in Jamaica, Ac., and for that matter
in Massachusetts, but they will have
accomplished the end they seek for
and deem so admirable, and there are
surely enough people left in the world
to till up the vacuum they will have
made. Indeed, this is the exact prob
lem to he worked out by this genera
tion, and any thoughtful man, and
woman too, that accepts miscegena
tion or mixing of white and negro
in the same condition or mbit, should
honestly ask themselves, “How shall
I strive to abolish the ‘color line,’ as
in Jamaica or as in San Domingo—
by amalgamation or by extermin: -
tion ?” and whether they auk this
question or not, they are striving to
solve it. If every one had the hon
esty and indeed the intelligence to ask
himself this question, “Shall I recog
nize the ‘color line’ and demand dif
ferent conditions for white and negro,
or strive to abolish it by mixing the
blood of my children ?” it would he
solved, of course.— N. Y. Da;/ Book.
The Rev. Josiali Tyler, a missonary

She waited long for bis return, and
then married Umpoblu, with whom
she bad not lived a year when her
first husband came hack. She chose
Tambusa, and left Umpoblu, who was
deeply affected by losing her. Again
Tambusa absconded and Umpoliln
regained Nokufa; and again Tambusa
returned to claim his wife. This time
she refused to change husbands, and
the last known of Tambusa he had
gone into the interior -to get five
wives, each of whom, he declared,
should he handsomer that Nokufa.”

Lapland mothers are not in the hab

The Laps are a very religious people,
and take long journeys to hear their

at the little wooden church, and the
reindeer are secured, the father shov

mother wraps the baby in' skins and
deposits it therein. Then the father
piles the snow aronnd it, and the dog
is set on guard, while the parents go

It is .also guaranteed under a penalty of
fifty dollars not to injure the clothes or
