Campbell is having a splendid time at Col. Smith's farm on the Central railroad. He wears citizens’ dress, keeps books, and preaches two or three times a week, and it would seem that tho old man is not having a “hard road to travel.” His time will be out next January. —S. P. Warren, an Atlanta Radi cal, obtained a few hundred dollars and a year’s supply of line clothes, under false pretenses, from some of the “wealthy and respectable citizens" of our State capital, and abscond ed one day last week. Well, it might have been worse. Sup pose, for instance, he had caniod oft the water works. —The rains, says the Macon Tele graph, have settled the question as to a corn crop in Middle Georgia. “It is going to be the best for many years, and on the back of the heavy oat crop of the spring will give our farmers an abundant grain supply for the ensu ing yeas'. Some indeed boast that they have nearly two years’ supply; but when they begin to gather the old fashioned herds of stock around them, end get ready to live once more, they will find their mistake.” • —The city officials of Atlanta had themselves photographed the other day. The picture will probably be circulated as a campaign document against the removal of the capital. ■ —An “Independent Club” has been formed in Dawson. The organiza tion is composed solely of ladies, and is strictly “independent and secret,” but we learn from tho Journal that the first resolution adopted reads, “Therefore be it resolved that ladies have as much right to go iu swim ming aw gentlemen ’ AN e rather like that, and hereby present our petition for membership, asking that action bo taken on the same at the next meet ing. —The Radicals have commenced their dirty work in Thomas, and wilt make a desperate effort to cary the county in the coining elections. The Tbomasville press don’t sit down heavy enough on the Radical leaders in that town, nohow. Columbus Enquirer- AVe have been requested by many members to cor rect a misapprehension regarding the action of the Baptist Church, which many editors have mado through careless reading. They say, and Ken drick and his friends are endeavoring to create the impression, that the vote for expelling him from the church was 35 for to 34 against. This is er roneous. A committee was appoint ed let report to tiie church on his case, which was done. The majority report was that he bu expelled for adultery; the minority that lie be expelled with out any cause being assigned. Both reports were for expulsion. For the majority report thirty-five voted, for tho minority thirty-four—the entire sixty-nine for his expulsion. Those who had defended him warmly and obtained ill: the evidence for him pos sible, voted for his expulsion. It was unanimous. There’s not one in the entire membership of over three hun dred that would not vote for the ox j pulsion as tho sixty-nine—all present ion that occasion. The expulsion was the unanimous voice of tho meeting. —Tho (lartersvilla Express makes the following notice of thu grasshop- I per in that county: The hoppers are { making sad havoc on tho farm of j Mrs. Lewis Tumlin in the edge of j town. Thirty-five acres of clover • about ready for a second mowing has been entirely stripped. Twenty acres of cotton lias been destroyed in the same way. On an adjoining field the corn thus been stripped to the st alk, even to the tender ends of the ears. They are rapidly making their way to other fields of corn. These pests ap peared upon Mrs. Tuinlin’s place in comparatively small numbers some four weeks ago. They were first seen in a stublde field when the wheat was being taken from the field for tbresh -1 ing. For ten days the hands on tho j place have been lighting tho hoppers, | and to some extent their progress has i been impeded. The grasshoppers] ; have made their appearance in vari ' oils parts of tho county. Various ] i modes have been resorted to to de ! stroy them. They are easily driven j after ten o’clock in the morning, and lin this way they are driven together j and burnt with straw. In the early! morning while the dew is upon the weeds, clover or grass where they roost, they either cannot or do not feel inclined to move. Observing this j peculiarity, Col. J. J. Howard, or Tuesday morning at 3 o’clock, started seven mules, hitched to as many scrubby black-jack bushes all abreast, and commenced driving across- his clover field. It being wet and dark, and having about 35 feet front cover ed with the bushes, it was difficult for QUITMAN, GA., THURSDAY.

During seven hours of this la bor Colonel Howard thinks ho killed about one half of theso insects. Col. Howard suggests another plan. It is to make rollers, and so arrange the shafts that mules can propel the rol | lers ahead of them and thus crush | them to death. Col. Howard urges | all farmers, who are troubled with I these pests, to kill them by all possi ble means that can he invented in or | der to save next year's crops, and thus prevent a famine in the land. Ho has been lighting two weeks, and thinks he has killed hnlfou his place. Over in Florida, —lt is said that bandy-legged Joe I Stripling and John Eagan, of Madi son, wear their little pistols around j them all tho time.

The Democratic Mass-Meeting at Madison next Saturday is going to be the largest and most enthusiastic gathering of the honest people of that I section ever known since the war. Let those who have not been enthused with the good work go, by all means. !It is going to boa regular, old-fash ! ioned experience meeting. It will not ; be considered impolite or unbecom ing in any old Democrat to shout if he feels like it. - The Sanford Journal wants to know if persons who have been in the State less than a year can vote for Presidential election—having resided in the county six months and been registered. The Floridian answers ! no. The right of every person to vote for any officer is ronadatod by the laws ; C ill" fjinie in which he lives. Each \ State prescribes its own suffrage qnal j ifications. The Florida State Consti- I tution requires I wetre months residence i to entitle to vote. —The Quitman Cornet Band will make music for the Democratic ineet ’ ing at Madison next Saturday, and speeches will he delivered by Ex-Gov. D. S. AValker, ('apt. Bloxham, Col. Davidson, Col. AVilk Call and others. —Madison Aries: The young ran ter of tho Recorder, in his speeches to j the great uncombed, is reported as | saying that if Drew is elected Gov j ernor every poor man will be thrown | out of employment. How can that be when every man, without regard to previous condition, is to have a ] saw mill of his own, made to order, ] and more money than a mule can ] pull ? Such an idea is ridiculously ' absurd. There will bo no skirmish ing for bread then. -—The Floridian says that last week at station 4, a colored man went to ; tho house of one of tho white citizens : and asked for something to eat. The citizen queried him as to whom he in tended to vote for. “Air. Drew,” he i replied. “Well,” says the citizen, “I 1 can’t accommodate you, for you are going right dead against ino ” “All right, \ says the colored mail, “I ] promised to vote for Mr. Drew, and don’t expect to go back on him, be- I cause I havo been knowing him for a long time, and always found him to be a man of his word, ’’ and left; but before he had gone very far, he was called back by the citizen and given a good bait of ham and eggs and bis cuit, as also a cup of coffee, thrown iu for good measure, after slipping on the outside of which he resumed his journey, rejoicing and knowing in wardly that he had acted like an hon orable man. Tallahassee Floridan : At a color ed Drew and Hull meeting near Man ning’s store (in this county), on the night of the lfithinst., Jesse Dennis, a respectable old colored man, and a leading reformer in his neighborhood, was attacked and driven off by a mob of rioters. Dennis came to town and ‘had warrants issued by Justice Came ron for six of the rioters, all that he could identify, and also for several for assault and batter.y Fire were ar rested and brought before Justice Cameron on Friday, under the charge of riot and assault and battery. The rioters were represented by Alt'. John Wallace, who defended them in an able manner, but the evidence against them was perfectly conclusive, and the Justice required a bond of S2OO from each. One of tho eases of as sault was then brought, up. There was but one witness for ilni prosecu tion, and he was the prosecutor. No evidence was introduced for the de fense, the prisoner himself declining to make a statement. As the testi mony of the prosecutor stood uucon- tradicted, and was sufficient to prove the assault, tho Justice required a bond of SSO, whereupon the other four charged with assault and battery waived an examination and a like bond was required of each. Several persons came forward to stand tho bonds, but refused to make oath that they were worth tho amount of prop erty requisite under the law to make them good bondsmen, and they were consequently rejected, and in default of bond tho prisoners were commit ted. On Saturday, however, their friends from the country came in and succeeded in getting up tho bonds, and the prisoners were released, to appear at tho next term of the Supe rior Court. Some people seem to think that there is no law for tho col ored man in this county when he chooses to act independently of the Republican party, and the only way to teach teem better sense is for tho law to lay its heavy hand upon them every time they are guilty of its viola tion. How tli(> Republicans Talk. [From the Courier-Journal.] AVo held a long conversation with a leading Republican in this city yester day, and ns a matter of course poli tics was tho leading question of dis cussion. The conversation commenc ed in this way: “ ,” said the Re publican, “it seems as if the speech of Lee sort of riled you.” Rep.—-“No, not much; it sort of 'disgusted me.” R.—“ Why?” Rep.-—“ Simply be cause it looks contemptible in any man to dodge the living and impor tant issues before the people by bring ing u)i the horrors of the late war.” R. —“Well, what do you want us Re publicans to do ?” Rep.- “Why, de fend your party, if you can, and make a bold, manly fight upon tho issues before the people.” R.—“ That won’t pay.” Rep.—“Then you admit that you can’t defend your party from the rascalities it is charged with ?” R.— “No, not exactly; but we think there are more voters to lie made the other way.” Rep.—■“'What other way— flaunting the bloody shirt?” R.— “That, I believe you Democrats call it. We call it keeping before the people the idea that the Democrats can not be trusted with power.” Rep. —“Do you housefly believe that?" R.—“ Well, yes, to a certain extent I do. I am afraid to trust them.” Rep.—“ What have they done since the closo of the war to make you form such an opinion ? Have they not faithfully obeyed all the laws imposed upon them by. Congress, and have they not been patient and forbear ing?'’ R. —“Yes, to a certain extent; but'we frequently hear of them mur dering the colored men down there, which shows their rebellions spirit.” Rep.—“But do not we hear of mur der and scenes of blood frequently in the Northern States?” R.—“ Yes, but that is different.” Rep.—“Some of you Republicans in Jeffersonville and other places tell these colored men that if Tilden is elected they will he forced back into slavery again. . Do you believe such an absurdity as that?” R.—“No, I don't.” Rep.— “Why, then, do members of your par ty toil them so ?” R.—“To keep them jam up to the mark and solid for the ticket.” R.—“ Will all your stump speakers this campaign talk the same stuff Lee did ?” R.- (with a laugh) “I believe that is the understanding.” Rep.—“Do you think the people can lie duped into voting the Republican ticket, by such speeches?” R. —“There is no duping about it ; wo want them to remember the traitors that tried to destroy the Government.” Rep.— “So vou will fight the war all over ; again this campaign ?” R.—(lndig luantly)—“Yes, sir, and for twenty ; campaigns to come if necessary to ■keep our party in power.” Rep.— | “AVell, we expect you will; lint we do | not t hink that t lie people will be so ] easily duped as you think for. There are other questions that effect the people just now more than the wave |of the bloody shirt—questions deep • ly affecting their prosperity as a peo j pie. They want an honest adminis tration of the Government, and that ! thing your party has miserably failed ! Ito give them. You wil’ bo compelled jto defend Grant, Babcock, Avery, Belknap and others before the earn ! paign is over, or else go square back !ou them.” R.—“ Yes, well, Grant and others have nothing to do with Hayes | and AVheeler.” Rep. —“You Repub licans are working hard in Jefferson ville, and, I Suppose, over the State, getting up a good organization, ain't! you?” R.—“ Yes, wo will have a j splendid organization in thirty days, the best we ever had In the State.” Rep.—“Do you expect to elect Orth ?” R. —“Yes, by a good majority. You men expect to elect AYilliams, but you will be fooled. AA’itli all the boasted wealth of Tilden, we will have more 1 money to use than you will.” Rep. “Yes, I havo no doubt of that; fur if it was not for Government patronage, wo would elect AYilliams by thirty ! thousand majority. As it is we will elect him by ten thousand.” With this we parted; and we only print the conversation for what it is worth. It, shows up some matters that will ho of interest to the people. Tho Constitutionalist says it is re ported that Gov. Tilden is engaged to bo married to an accomplished and beautiful voting lady, a native of Ken tucky, at present residing in Ala bama, and they will probably fulfill their engagement before the ides of November have come and gone.

Grasshoppers Flanks,]. ; According to the Boulder (Col.) News, Mr. James Gould, living near that point, has added a nugget of knowledge to our grasshopper lore. He wits that plowing the land before the eggs hatch in the spring destroys thorn utterly. This being the case, the farmer has only to guard his grain fields against the incursions of those that hatch outside. This he can ef fectually do. Mr. Gould has put in 120 acres of grain, and has kept the ’hoppers off, depending mainly on dripping coal oil in the ditches. He has used sixteen gallons and destroy ed millions. Almost as soon as they are hatched the myriads outside in stinctively move for the fields of young wheat, plunging in to cross the ditch and dio at the touch of the kerosene. The ditch is fixed to make ! eddies, and a scum of the oil floats on j the surface. Mr. Gould says that with what tho farmers now know about fighting the ’hoppers, there is i no more danger from those that hatch iu the spring. About those that come on the wing, late in the season, he ' says the remedy is to sow early, and then the crops will he out of the way beforo they come. A year ago it seemed ns if the locust scourge might destroy Colorado farming, niakin" a crop so uncertain that none would take tho risks. Now it is certainly known how to avert all this danger. It is a most wonderful triumph of the thought of man. He has done what it seemed iuipossiblo could ever be done, and henceforth tho wheat har vest will be gathered in all the Colo rado valleys, year after year, in spite of the locust, thank heaven, and thank human invention too. The above papei says also that, at a recent horse show men from the va rious sections of the country all told the same story of unwearying dili gence and triumph over the 'hopper, and represent that the crops never looked more promising at this season. Rights of Funner Slave Wives anil Children. Surrogate Calvin, of the surrogate’s office, New York city, has decided that the estate of a deceased colored njan in New York goes to the surviv ing wife by cohabitation when tho parties were slaves; and their children recognizing the right of a marriage of that kind when in the state of servi tude. Anthony Jones, formerly a slave in Virginia, escaped thirty years •ago to New York, .lie died leaving some $15,000 in personal and real es tate. The estate was claimed by tho State oi' New York, under the suppo sition that the deceased left no rela tives entitled to it under tho law. Claim, however, was set up by Patsey Minor, as his widow, and Anthony Smith, their son. The widow, sever al years after the escape from servi tude of her putative husband, suppos ing him dead, took another husband, aftto.' the same fashion as her first. The surrogate awarded the widow her one-third of the personalty to which a widow is entitled in New Yovk*and her tho realty. Tho leading principle of the decision is that the claimants “were to all intonts and purposes the wife and son of tho de ceased Anthony Jones, and conse quently entitled to such property as the putative husband and father left, and especially under the net of Vir ginia of 18(15, which provides that wherever negroes have lived together as man and wife, and shall have ceas ed to live together for any cause be fore the passage of that act, all the children of the woman, recognized by the man to be his wife, shall be deemed legitimate.” Agricultural journal: Question “Will the editor please inform me how the Hollanders salt cucumbers?'’ Answer.

The Sioux, while having many ; tlibahaelations and dialects, are re ally divided into two great, families the Dakotas and Tetons. For many I generations the Tetons have ruled su premo west of the Missouri river. The 1 name Teton implies People of the Lodges, or those who live west of the Missouri. The Tetons, and tribes re lated to them, use the L instead of the 1) saving Laeota, ete. The main tribes or branches de scended from tho Teton are the Fnk : papa (some dried moat,), Sihasapa | (.black feet), Sichango or Drub s I t burn thighs), Minneshala (red wa ter), Ogalalla (one who pours out', Hobenonpa (two kettles), Minneesn iou (water-edggod), Itazippacha (bow j and arrow tribe). Last of the Miss- I issippi river there are the Isanteo ! (the lodge knife), Yanktonians (ar row point), Pahhaksa (cut heads. All these latter tribes use tho 1). 'Then there are tho Asiniboins or I Holm (kettles,) who are also sub-di i vided. They roam around the Pem bina lino, in the Hoop-Up country, j but aro mainly provided for at Bel knap. The AVahlopana (band that use the paddle), were originally Yanktonians, but, separated from the I present tribe about one hundred | years ago. John Howard, interpre • ter at this post, has given the above i and other valuable information. In 18711 Howard met Sitting Bull at Fort Peck, and conversed at I length with him. lie says that Ta | tunka Fvotunko, or Sitting Bull, is at least forty-six years of age, lias dark , brown hair, gray eyes, and is five feet : ni)i6 inches iu height. This agrees ' with my recollection of Sitting Bull, except as to age, though an Indian is j very like a negro in that respect- it j being hard to guess at his ago. The i Indians call Sitting Bull Hunkishino, ; or the slow one—a generic term ap i plied by wav of sarcasm. Sitting ! Bull, Howard says, speaks only Sioux i and Ariekaree. On the Kith of June I Sitting Bull and his allied bauds fell | upon Gen. Crook and achieved a par | tial victory. Runners were immedi ately dispatched to lukewarm tribes j around the agencies to carry the news and to drum for recruits. Accordingly a number of young j braves loft standing Rock, Cheyenne Agency and Fort Peck reservation j and joined Silling Bull. Before, ! however, they could lie accepted, they j had to pass through the ordeal of the I sun-dance. Theso ceremonies wore held in a wild canyon of tho Big Horn , Mountains; and a graphic description of them has been given me by IV. C. j Gooding, a young Massachusetts tra der, who is studying the übpwginal character, previous to applying fora position on the Indian Pence Com mission as a humanitarian. The suu dauco commenced on the afternoon of the 18th of June; and, from the com mencement to the end, 200 warriors were not to eat or drink anything. Under shades mado of cut bou gbs, Sitting Bull an other warriors wore gathered to witness the ceremonies. Tho 200 young warriors were ranged around a medicine-pole, their bodies blackened with charcoal, ami wearing nothing but a short skirt of buckskin around their loins, and ea gle-feather coronets. They would dance at intervals of half an hour, and wore then allowed a short respite un til again called out by tho tom-tom. A warrior was suspended from the medicine-pole by the ends of a lariat fastened to two thorns stuck in the llesh of his back; in each hand he held a long pole, which partially sup ported him; but every few minutes he would swing the wh.flo weight of his body upon the lariat in an effort to toar*tlie thorns from his flesh. After hanging lor three hours in the glaring sun lie was cut down and carried away. Another young warrior, who wanted to show what a brave heart ho hail, lay down on his face and had six thorns put in his back and shoul ders; then turned over, and had two move put in his breast. Then, rising to his feet, buftalo skulls were fastened to the thorns in his back, and a lariat to those in his breast, and he was made fast to the medicine-pole. The tom-tom struck tip, and the Indian began to dance; and as the skulls tore out of the llesh one by one, Sitting Bull and the chiefs would shout their approbation. Then bracing back till the. lariat pull ed his breast out like a woman’s, ho danced with renewed vigor, and as the thorns tore from his tlewli and he had demonstrated terrible powers ofcti durance, the chiefs gave him loud cheers.
