The Savings Banka throughout the country, huve proved a signal fail oris Their managers make a fortune, and the depositors lose tlieir earnings. Break, burst and go “whore tho whang doodle mourneth," with a pocket full of steal ages, is tho epitaph that may be written upon them. And now it has comu to pass, that it is found the constitution of the United States, under which we have lived for a hundred years can’t determine how the vote is to bu counted for a president, and Sonator Edmunds’ resolution for the Seriate to appoint a committee of seven, nnd the House to add eleven of its mem bers to consider the laws for counting and declaring presidential votes has passed. The fraud was gicat; it rone to hoavon m- By to sevou. And now its weight Work* like leaven; Its ho von to eleven. Tlio death of Senator Morton, of Indi ana, on the Ist inst., wan an event not unexpected liy his friends, and the public genera l!y. For many years he has wielded a potent influence in the United States Senate, and although a violent “bloody shirt” politician, he was u power in his party, of which it may be said, ho was a bell weather. No man was more ultra in his views, and tuoro assiduously labored to humiliate the South, and dictate ex treme terms to the conquered Slates. But the grave levels all distinctions, ends all controversies, übutes ull animoeith s, and in its sombre presence we nre reudy to throw a mantle of charity ever the past. AVi/iu'srtCtf in pace. i The Next Presidency. We find several of our exchanges al ready suggesting names for the next Pres ident and Vice President of the United States Wo admit, it is difficult to find something to write aLout, but it occurs to us it is very premature to be canvass ing this subject; besides, such a courso is well calculated to continue the already engendered strife throughout the country. The far-sehoming chioauery and strut egy of snukey politicians, has well nigh run this governmental machinery into political destruction. No sooner is one Presidential campaign closed than the wires arc put in motion lor another seige, and thus forevermore is the political cal dron kept boiling. For instance; Recently we find ex Gov. Thomas A. Hendricks, and General Matt W. Ransom of North Carolina; then Hayes and Hampton associated, and spoken of lor the highest offices of the Government. These men, too, arc spoken of by Uemoeratio papers. In reference to the mention ol the name of Mr. Hayes, the Fayottville, (N. C.) Gazette has those pungent remarks, and to which we heartily subscribe: "When the day comes on which the Democratic party can be induced to put the name of Rutherford B. Hayes upon its ticket, then wo want to see that very hour seal the destruction of tho Demo cratic party for all time to come. It will l>e unworthy to live through another campaign; it will be utterly false to its history, its principles, its adherents— false to the Vmeriean people, whom it alone, ot all factions and party organisa tions that have had an cxistatioe since the foundation of the Government, has been capable of representing. When the De mocracy took up Horace Grcely in 1872 they merited the failure which followed the movement, along with ridicule and compassion for their shortsightedness. Should they lie drawn into an advocacy of Hayes they will deserve the defeat and ruin which will inevitably overtake them, along with the scorn, detestation and oon t nipt ot every man who lays claim to a fair share of honor and integrity. That this man —who, wherever he goes, ear ries the brand of fraud with him; who holds the office of President of the United States by the patience and forbearance ol an outraged people, and not by any shadow of tight of his own; who conies from the shedding of tears and pious oculations at the bedside of Morton, and the kissing of the bloody shirt in the Northern districts to indulge in senti mental gush among this people, to whom it is an insulting mockery because of its jiyj ocrisy- that this man should be tol- erated in a Southern town is strange, and effort a wonderful proof that the people hhotn he apd'hisotiee attempted to exter minate as rebels dud traitors,'can never 1m ior“- , ful °f the demands pi hrirpirii! ity and courtesy to a stranger, no matter how black uv ,liM character and how dam nable his record. But there could he found a man nr paper on the Democratic side—aliovo all, on tho Southern Demo cratic side—to suggest the name of the fraudulent President as a nominee of the | party--coupling it, too, with that of thet princely gentleman, illustrious patriot, and heroic soldier, Wade Haitipton—is a marvel which passes our comprehension." —■>*. ♦. General uordon. Why it is sought to displace General Gordon and put h me one else in the United States Senate cun on.y lie ac counted for upon the principle of tlacr teljwhneu, for it cannot he a spirit of patriotism. Though ho was, and is, of Gooigia, and represents her in the Na tion’s highest counsel, yet he is not only of Georgia—he now belongs to the whole oountry. His distinguished services in the Senate, ami out of it, through the country, gives him a national reputation, and a national influoricc in the country, which it would be suicidal in tire Statu of Georgia to deprive him of by refusing to permit him to he his own successor in the halls of the National Legislature. He is of the true metal, that has ted to the severest tests, which proved its purity and value. He has been faithful to every trust committed to his churgc, and all hi- arts uuud forth prominently and shine brightly. language of a gentleman now of Delaware, hut a native o! Gcorgiu, we ask : “Wl at is the meaning of ullu-i 'iis, now and then seen in the papers, iru.i oating doubt ot General Gordon’a re elec lion to the Senate? Can there be the sli- hte i ground tor sti'qicc’ ing that Geor gia's uppreeiutson of grandeur and great ness in the human character i- diminish ing, or that her r gird 1 >r faithful pub lic .servants is lessening? Gould Georgia he made to realize how brightly her chaiaoter shines in reflection from the light which ter chivalrous son, Gordon, casts over the length and breadth of ti.is great re public, she would speedily cheek every expression < f discontent which only envy can engender. It may teem like impertinent inter ference lor a resilient of a distant State to thus express himself; hut I can never forget, and would not if I could, that lay nativity I, 100, am a Georgian, a’d fate with his immediate constituents the glow of | tide whieti the mention of Gordon’s name ever excites. But this is a (pjusiien which i not, and otniiot Iks circumscribed by the Is umJa ties of a “late, for it is natural in its seoje.

Fellow Citizens: —Although solicited by many of you, during the last few months, to announce myself u candidate for .Senator from tho 42nd Senatorial Dis trict, l have purposely declined making au announcement until this time. The Convention held in Homo on tho 3rd inst. declined to take action, and as it has been decided to lot Chattooga oounty select a candidate to fill out the unex pired term ot Col. Gamble, I take this occasion to declare myself a candidate, in deferuuoe to the wishes of gentlemen from all parts of the District, who have urged tue to represent them. In doing so I am not unmindful of the important duties that will devolve upon tho first. General Assembly alter the ratification of the new Constitution, and if elected, shall approach said task distrustful of my ability to do justice to the State, hut will bring to hear whatever talents 1 may possess, to assist in putting into practical operation the reforms and benefits to be derived from wise and prudent legislation.

Come one! come all!! State of Georgia, | Executive Department, > Atlanta, Ga , (Jet. 29, 1877. ) Samuel Hawkins, 11. D. C. Edmondson, Jas A. Clement, Thompson Hiles, and others, Committee —rummorvillc,Ga : Gentlemen; —I am directed by Gov ernor Colquitt to acknowledge receipt of your very kind invitation to visit your county and address your people ct Sum merville. The Governor will he with you on Saturday, tho lUtlt day of November, and address you on the s ihjeet of the general interest of the farmers, touching the Industrial matte.s of the country. Professor Orr will accompany him and address y m ou the subject of Education. Tho Governor desires me to express his high appreciation of your courtesy. I am very truly Ac., J. W. Ave it, Secretary Executive Department. The nomination of Col. Joel Branham and (’apt 8 C. Trout, by the Democ racy of Floyd county, on Saturday last, for the Legislature, was a good day s work, and reflects honor on the meeting and the men who were nominated. Col. Branham is a gentleman of rare ability, and has long held a high positioH as an attorney, not only in the Circuit but in the Supreme Court. We feel sure he will he elected, and we predict there will ho no mcmbei of tlx next legislature who will oae.itpy in that body a more enviable position. Ham Trout needs no commendation at our hands. He is one of tho most popu lar men in his county —is worthy of the high trust assigned him. Wu have heard it sai 1 (bat Branham and Tiout were two of the best bey babies horn on the day of their respec tive births, and wc believe it. The Convention declined to nominate a Senutor for this District, leaving and cru ccding Chattooga's right to that office. For Member of the Legislature. Dirttown, Ga., Oct. 29, 1877. Mr Rliior: —As the time draws near for the election of members of the legis lature it is tho duty of all men interested in the welfare of the Commonwealth of Georgia to decide upon son:e candidate worthy to represent our county, and see to it that he is elected. 1 know of no man more worthy to assume this great responsibility than Capt. W. T. Irvine. His fidelity to his country hasbeeipaested in the years of '6O and '64, and no soldier proved truer than he, and no officer more prudent. Dirttown and Haywood dis tricts will go solid 'or him. His schol arly wisdom, and his prudence would be of great service to the State, and the enemies of order would tremble and flee from the sarcasm so necessary on such occasions. Dirttown District. A Sacred Uemento. Gratitude is a rare virtue in the human family, yet 1t is one of greatest promi nence in the estimation of the Diviue Being, and is so regarded by men and women of true culture and refinement. Should a favor bo shewn, or labor he bestowed for the benefit of one, or for a people, an expression of gratitudo in some way is as little as the recipient of the hciiiTlt could do. Thus hi perfect accord witl( this prin ciple, and the high-toned ohivary, Xjl turo and refinements ef Soutii Carolina, theXMmrluston News and Corwier eon the following most touchnig and tender tribute of remembrance ot the services of Georgia's great statesman, General John B. Gordon, for the mas terly efforts rendered that gloricus old State iu her redeiuptionTrow carpet-bag rule and tyranny. In commenting upon the Silver Font intended for Carolina Gordon, ibat paper says: \lt will be remembered by the people of South Carolina that the ladies ol Col umbia, in patriotic recognition of the i oble services rendered by Senator J. B. Gordon, o> Georgia, at a time when rhe liberty of South Carolina was trembling in the balanc, determined to present h s intant daughter, “Carolina,” with some token worthy of their nigh sen>e of grati tudo aud affection. With this laudable end in view an- association was iormod and a committee appointed to select a testimonial, End to dtvise a plan fot its execution, Alter consultation the com tuiitce decided upon procuring a tnassivo silver vessel, which it was their intention to present as a baptismal font. The style was fixed upon and the execution of the work was placed in tlie hands of Mr, Jas. Allen, a prominent jeweler of this city, On Saturday last the woik was com pleted, and the font was exhibited to a lew friends at the store of Mr. Alien in King street. Lost, evening it was ship ped to Columbia, by express. It is one of the handsomest piece;; of silv cr ever exhibited in Charle/ren, i>p:J is certainly a tit testimony, p, the disinterested patri ot! m of the gallant Georgian. It is wrought of sohd sterling silver and stands lroiu base to rim twelve mohes in height, ai|, i measures in diameter, across the top, ten inches. The interior i> heavily lined with gold, which is highly and beautifully ornamented with engraved patterns show ing the blight silver beneath. The shape of the font is novel nnd exquisitely beau tiful. From a solid square - base rises a column upon which tlx howl proper rests rocel'ully. The exterior is satin finished, ornamented, on the shank, with do icate ly cagiaved tracery. On one side of the howl is deeply ami beautifully engraved the Coat of Arms of South Carolina, and on the opposite side the Coat ol Arms ot Georgia. Around the rim are inscribed the words of Hampton's dis patch to Gordon upon the removal of the United States troops from the State llou-e at Columbia, viz: “The troops have f>cen removed. Perfect peace pre vails. Thank you. Wade Hampton. April 11, 1577,” the signature coining beneath the Coat of Arms of South Caro lina. On the op|Mi-ite side, beneath the Coat of Arms of Georgia, are inscribed the words: “The women of Columbia to Carolina Gordon.” fhe untimely death of Gen. Gordon’s infant daughter defeats in a measure the purpose of the Columbia ladies, hut the testimonial will nevertheless be presented to General Gordon, and will be doubly dear to him, linking, as it does, the sacred memories of domestic affliction with the noble pride of successful patriotic z -al in behalf of a down trodden State.” Agronomics. Mr Editor: —l have just rend a state- I mein about the wheat midge, or Hessian I fly. in the Home, and Farm dated Octo ber 15, wi.ich, I think, is not true, as to this locality. This statement says that the fly lays the egg on the blade of wheat, in the Fall, and that it finds its way down the blade to tho joint o f ' the stalk. I think, from observation, that the egg is deposited in the Spring of the year in this country at least, from the f dlowmg fact: Our last crop was badly injured by the fly, and that sowed very early turne 1 out best. Mr. Joseph Abrams sowed a piece of wheat last Spring (1 think in February), and that piece had the fly as much as his Fall sowing. 1 have exam ined wheat very ciosciy, and never could find the egg of the fly in the Fall, hut have often found it in the Spring, when it was a very small, white speck, and al ways at the joint of the stalk, and if ex amined onder a magnifiier, I believe the puncture will lie seen on the stalk. The statement about burning tho straw, I think, is very good, and would, perhaps, destroy a very largo quantlt.w It was first found in our country on, or near, the Delaware river, where the Ucssia©troops landed in the war ol the Revolution Their hunks were made of wheat straw which was thrown out there when they landed. Hence the nnme Hessian fly. I will try in my next to give what I think would go far to retuJy tho evil. Nov. 5, 1877. Agricola. In another column will be found the card of Judge Hawkins, announcing him self a candidate for this Senatorial dis trict. brum ad parts of the District there has been a general expression in favor of his candidacy, and we feel as sured that he will receive an aloiowt unanimous vote (from the three counties composing the District). The next legis lature will lx one of great importance in perfecting the new Constitution, and men familiar with its multifarious provisions w ill he needed. His election to the Sen ate will he placing the right wan in the right place at the right time. “Dirttown District’’ has put in an ap pearanee for a Member of the Legisla ture- It would he superfluous for us to say anything to the citizens of this eoun ty in recommendation of Capt. Irvine. He is already well known as a gentleman of ability, refinement and qualifications adapted for a legislator. Now what say the people? A farmer tjid us the other day that he would not be witluut Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup if it cost live dollars a bottle. It must be a wonderful remedy.
