HANCOCK, OK PENNSYLVANIA. FOll VICE PRESIDENT, W. H. ENGLISH, OF INDIANA. The resignation of Judge Warier devolves upon Governor Colquitt the duty ot nuking another appoinlmeni. The place to lie filled is one of very high honor and dignity, and its 4B*ui- uence but increases the responsibility that attaches to the fi. •*fe ot it. The | Governor now has an opportunity of most emphatically and effectually dis proving one of the strongest and most persistently asserted charge made agninsl him, toswit, the charges that his appointments are made solely with an eye to the advancement of his own personal interests. If this be the truth; if Governor Colquitt be the man his most vehemeLt opponents say he is, it will surely be made manifest now. Hut it it be not true; if Governor AS SEEX FROM AS .VLAllAM A STAND POINT. Oil.

Colquitt be a man of too pm e a mould to make high offices in bis gift the subjects of liarter, he will appoint to the supreme court judgeship a man whose very i ame and character will be the strongest possil 1c refutation of the obnoxious charge. lie will sb'.ect for tiie place a man far r.-- moved from the pojilieal complica tions of the day, one whose name is never heard in connection with aspi- r it ions for |>olitical preferment, but is accepted throughout the State as a synonym for all the pure and shin, ing qualities that make the s.sinless gentleman, aud whese attainments and record as a lawyer, withal, are such as to have long ranked him with the ablest jurists of Georgia. Such an one can be tound in the person ot the Hon. Richard II. Clark, of Atlanta. Governot Colquitt could do noth ing that would more convincingly disprove the charge to which we have allud d than the appointment ot Judge Clark to the vacant seat on the supreme bench. It is really a golden opimrtuniiy that presents itself to him. Those who know J udge Clark will need no assurance that these lines liqya been written wi.hout any sug gestiou or precognition ot themou Ids part. I)r. 11. V. M.

The cotton crops of this country or 1876 and ’79 were the largest ever raised. The ten crops from 1852 to 1801, raised by slave labor, numbered 34,995,440 bales; the ten crops from 1870 to 1879, raised by free labor, numbered 41,454,743 bah s. Thus wisely says the Evening News: “if, as the C. & C. remarks, “majorities always express tile will ot the (tenple and should be respected,’’ why, then, are they always fighting Felton and Speer ? Are “majorities’’ less potent in one District than anoth er—or docs it depend on who gets the majority.” Our sympathy is with Mr. Willing ham, the editor of the Cartersvilie Free Pres*. whose wife lias been stricken with mental derangement, and hf.a been placed in the asylum at MilledpevilK We are glad to learn that the malady is of such a nature a* will probably yield to careful med ical treatment.

H. 1*. Bell. But he has more and better judgment. T!;a convention will reassemble in Rome the 26th inst , to bring in another colt. A convention is soon Social Circle for the purpose of noraiuatiug a democratic caudidate for election to the State B -nnle from the senatorial district "in which this county is embraced. We do ut t know wbal names will be placed before this convention for its votes, but we desire to call attention to a gentleman whose n&inra qualifi cations, supplemented by much ex perience in the legisla'ive halls.of his native Stale, would make his nomi nation by the convention an act not only eminently appropriate, hut one that we feel sure would give general satisfaction to the peop'e of the dis trict. The gentleman to whom we allude is one widely mid well-known as one of the most untiring workers in be half of every measure that has had for its object the advancement of this section of the State, or the success of the democratic party. No name is more thoroughly identified with both these causes than is his. After saying thus much it may well seem a piece of supererogation for us to a id that it is to o-.rown ft How- citizen and former distinguished rep resentative, the Hon. II. II. Carltou, we refer. We will only add that we have had no word, spoken or written, with Dr. Carlton on this subject. We have taken the liberty of thus using his name without consulting him, but with the conviction that his no;nina- lion would be a fitting recognition of a record of usefulness, and a very ac ceptable one to the people of the distj Frict, ic people. Georgia is in danger ol'yaiikeeizing m- rally. Only last year, one high slate officer was impeached and limed <>ul of office, and another was inqieacheil and convicted and not turm d out. Brown is in the Uni ed Slates Sen ate from Georgia; and its a dashed bad condition of affairs that made that po-sible. j The people will‘determine present ly whether this reproach has been unju-tly imposed upou them. As neither of the eaudidates before the people of Georgia is a democratic nomini e, and as liolli claim to be democrats, it is a little difficult !o dis tinguish thorn descriptively: but it w ill answer on- pupose to speak ol Colquitt as the combination candidate and Norwoi-d as the protestant candi date. The coiutiiia lion was strong enough with the politicians to secure a inajor- ■ :y, but not two-thirds of the demo cratic state convention. They ki.ew exactly what they wan ted,and worked fur it. None ot tln ir energies were wasted. They had money and news papers and organization. The won der is, that they were not strong enough to nominate their man and put the prctestauls in the attitude of bolters. Brown is the author ot the combi nation, whose first fruits he is now en joying in the senate. He is sure to have the first fruits of anything with which lie is connected, lie is em phatically a first fruits man. Mec who rely on promises or work lor con tingent tecs,are sometimes disappoint ed. The man who receives compen sation in band, is always on the safe side.

Tiie Old Maids’ Association of Geauga county, Ohio, had a picnic on the lake recently, and mustered eigh ty-six souls. Tois society was ai outgrowth of the war, and was organ ized in 1862 by a bevy of young la dies who-e brothers and sweethearts were fighting for their country, and left them without resources of male escort, fxcept the lnggards who re mained at home. Unwilling to accept the gal I a try of thc*e ynung men, the young ladies pre ferred to depend npon themselves,and formed the association mentioned. Out of revenge the gallants dubbed the damsels “old maids,” and they accepted it as their own. A humor oils constitution and by-laws were drafted by Mrs. C. E. Henry, then a single young lady, and one of the founders of tho insti tution. Man was declared the “com mon enemy,'’ and one ol the chief oh jects of tlie society was a continued war against bis advances. He was religously excluded from all meetings; and a special clause of the by-laws said that any inemlier who should marry should be fined one hundred big copper cents, and he branded in tar on the soles ot her feet, “U. D. I,” meaning “up an I done it.” The beautiful consistency ot woman’s na ture will be appreciated when it is known that every one of the charter members ami nearly all of eligible age since arc married.

Her admiration for and devotion to Mr. Stephens is not over drawn by the writer ol the ?ketch.

It was when Mr. Steph ns was slowly recovering from an unusually long and serious illness that we were hailed by Mis* Nancy as we wei* parsing the door of her bumble dwell ing one day. Turning in response to her call, we found that it was of Mr. .Stephens and his condition that she wished to bet informed. On receiving the assurance that be was steadily improving and aud considered out of danger, she expresseiprouch joy, aud concluded by saying that “mighty good care mu-t he taken of him, for,” said she, “when he’s gone there ain’t narv oother one In the county like him."

Still more enpreccdented wa* it fur a potent, grave and rever end senior to have any share in the mischief. Yet, only threefnigbts be fore conirnt ncoment, the students “made tiling*" bowl,” and Tom TKfiW struther wa* head and tront of, the offending. They nailed up over the chapel door the sign, *“To Providenqe and way»8talioii8,” stolen from), tlie lailroad. They serenaded obnoxious members of the faculty in terms any* thing but flattering. Ijicy built a huge bonfire on the campus' and in dulged in a promiscuous song-and dance performance around it. In the midst of the uproar there was the cry of “ Faculty! faculty!” followed by an instant hush. The students seatiered in all directions, Anstruther as fast as any—faster, in deed, when he found himselt closely followed. Ilis particular pursuer ap peared to be one of the more younger and active ot tlie professors, who quite caught the spirit of the chase. Tom ioiinil it impossible to shake him off'. Was the valedictorian of the gradua ting class to be caught thus ignomiu- iotisly? An open ba-enuiit window gave him an inspiration, lie sued pa-l it - then, doubling cleverly on hi* foe, sprang through it and laughed to hear bis luotsUps grow fainter iu hot pur suit up the street. Up stairs- Lotta Desmond was brushing out her pretty brown bail- preparatory to retiring. On her daintily frilled toilet table, looking oddly out of place, lay Cousin Jim’s revolver. There had been a great many jukes about that revolver. Her uncle aud cousin had solemnly in stalled Lotta as man of the house during their absence. Jim had re minded her of the exploits of brave Mrs. Brown and plucky Mrs. Peters, os recorded by the Daily Chioniule. Tlie first ot these ladies had, alone and unarmed, held a burglar captive until help came. T. e second, under like ciicuui8tances, bad completely touted two desperate villains. And Irntta bad demanded Jim’s pi. tid and declared that she only longed lor a chance to emulate their heroism And Jim bad promised to watch the papeis for a similar men* lion of daring Miss Desmond. So Lotta smiled when her eyes fell on the pistol, for us yet no op|H>rtu- nity tor glory had come to her, and Jim would be home to-monow. J ust then her aunt came into the room, fancying, as she bad fancied every night since her husband’s de parture, that she “beard a noise, end would dear Lotta, who was so fear less, mind going down stairs to inves ligate?” So Lotta thrust her little bare feet into slippers, threw on a wrapper and sallie forth, pistol in band. Aunt Luev detained her with a last woril--iu ease it should be any one, to “let her know immediately, imme diately ; but otherwise not to disturb tier, as she was extremely fatigued.” With a rliin recollection that the dining-room window had not been closed, the young girl made her uoise less way thither at once. The gas had been put out and a miserable candle lett burnig. Wbat Lotta saw by its dim light, was a tall young man, rather roughly clad. Alai! Tom, usually something of a damly, had that night donned his poorest array, his hair disordered, his clothes grimed ' with dust and soot, Irom which not even his lace had es caped, stood coolly examining her un cle’s silver. Spirit of Mrs. Brown and Mrs —the other lady—inspire her! “Drop that or I fire!” Tom turned with a start. What he saw was a pretty giri in a charming neglige, whose voice and band lioib shook as she uttered this doughty threat, and iu whose face a certain determination, a look ot one frighten ed at her own daring, appealed to bis sense of humor. But it would never do to laugh at her. Besides, that pis tol in her uncertain, unfamiliar hand was no joke. So lie said with due humility: I surrender. But for heaven’s sake put op that revolver 1 You are as likely to shoot yourself as me.” “Not at all,’’ evidently -nettled, “I am perfectly accustomed to using it.” Need it be said that ihi* was a de liberate lie, uttered with intent of striking terror to the bosom of the roblier ? For the same purpose Lotta contin tied to level her pistol and eye him with much outward severity and not a few iDuard tremors, thinking with al that your housebreaker is not the bold desperado he is painted. Still, keeping watch over one is weary work, heigh-ho! Tom rapidly de termined to see the adventnre through. Time enough to make his escape should she call for help or any fresh complication arise. He hoped she was not going to keep him standing all night. Presently he ventures to suggest that she could mount guard over him quite a* well seated. Lotta asscnledjgladly. Her bur glar was quite a model, she thought. And why should she encumber herself longer with that unnecessary pistol, ot which, she acknowledged to herself, she was* much more afraid than was her prisoner? Accordingly she laid it carefully do.vn within reach. Then,"” What- seemed to Tom a most amazing un • derrating of his strength, site an nounced her intention ot holding him, until assistauce should arrive. To him the situation was not with out its charm. It does not often happen to any of us that a pretty girl will insist' on sitting next us and holding our hands—and that she was pretty, exceedingly pretty, Anstrnth er managed to satisfy himselt in spite of the stingy light. • Onee or twice he addressed a re mark to his fair ciptor, but she dis couraged all attempt at conversation. And so they sat in silence, while the candle burned J.ow and finally went on', and the cold gray light ot dawn crept into the room- Even this did not cause Lotta to change her posirion.

Bn', in the lan guage of the other young ladies, she “received a great deal ol attention.” And-how she did enjoy herself? [Couclu :*d on fourth page.) About the eleventh hour cousin Jim begged to introduce his friend Mr. Anstriuher. Lotta’s large eyes grew larger with astonishment. Mr. Ansiruther com posedly requested the pleasure of a dance, and before she could collect herself sufficiently to refuse, his arm encircled her and they were gliding over the ]-olished floor in perfect time aud measure. “You have my siep exactly,” said Miss Desmond, when they stopped. “Have I? TI ien it must be direct iuspiratiou, for I never wes known to k-ep time wi'h any one before.’’ Now did ever a man wal'z to per fection without knowing it? Lotta looked at him a little contemptuous ly. Her thought did him injustice. Torn was-not h fleet in" modesty, only making talk to keep off tlie question be expected. “May I take you into the library ? There is an anxuma-lo iking youth I should like to avoid I suspect that I have stolen his dance.” MR STEPHENS AND MISS GAMA GE. L. L. V , hi Bonny South. ' Iu full view of Liberty Hall lives an old lady who, on many accounts, is worthy <if notice. In tlie first place -he i* remarkable for h r great age, being now by perhaps a decade the oldest inhabitant of tho village. Not withstanding her extreme age, aud its accompanying bodily rt< cri-pitude, she retains the |iower* of an originally vigorous mind inn strength very litiltl if at all impaired, ller'memory bring* up vividly at her will the varied events of her long life, whi'e it does not al low to let slip the recollection ot pass ing events, in which she takes a lively interest. Bat the most remaikablo part ol her history is the tac*. that, though unfavored by the advantages of education, and never blessed with wealth, her practical good senso and spotless purity of character have won for her the respect and esteem of lire very best people. Many years ago, when Mr. Stephens was comparatively a young man, we observed that her humble home wss the first at which he called on his ret urn from VV ash- ington ; and now, when his own bod ily infirmities force him to require that his friends shall visit him, he will sacrifice convenience and ea-e to visit Miss Nancy Gainage. From this aunouncementof her ad dress it will be perceived that she la- longs to that class of ladies wl o de serve so much praise and receive so much obloquy. Having Irom a seu.-e of duty foregone the pleasure* of a family of her own, she became the parent of three successive generations of foster children : Ier self sacrifice has had its reward. The daughters of her adoption grow up to be true and noble women, who in their admi rable traits of character reflect gieat ‘If yon have, you are only pursut ing your profession as a robber,’’ . , . . ... . laughed Miss Desmond. “What U P°" the training oltliis rather were you doing that night in uncle’s diniug-room ?’’ Then it all came out, and Tom ex* plaining and apologized, seated in an alcove of the great eollege library. “And bow frightened you were when I and the pistol appeared upon the scene!” said the young lady ma liciously. “I was not!”—indignantly. “You turned very pale.” “Then we must have been a well-- matched pair for courage. The pistol shook so in your hand that I was afraid it would go off accidentally. Th..t was the worst feature of the case, for I do not yet believe that you would have been bloodthirsty enough to shoot me.” I am sure I would not. I was im mensely relieved to wake up and find my captive fled.” *“\Vhat did you do?’’ r “Counted the spoons and went to bed.” “The spoons were all right. There was hut one thing stolen that night.” “Mercy! what was that ?” “Oi.ly the burglar’s heart”—senti mentally. Lotta looked at him and began to laugh. Then she said “You might advertise for il as peo ple do for stolen articles. You might say, ‘Of no value to any one but the owuer.’ ” “Thank you, but I am not sure that I wnutil returned ” said Anstruther, laughing too, but letting his eyes rest upon her fair face until the warm col or surged up beneath his gaze. " ‘Thou hast a thief in citner eye Would steal it buck ajjain,’”* he quoted, low. Lotta was a.little glad as well as a good deal sorry that her ill-use 1 part ner at this moment appeared in the doorway, “Betore that fellow comes can’t you promise me one more dance ?” mur mured Acstruther. “I am engaged for all but the last. I can give you that one if you are go ing to stay till the end.” How Miss Desmond contrived to pact ity the rightful caimant, and how part ner succeeded partner until the end of the evening, need not to be told. It i* certain that she enjoyed no dance as she did that last one with Tom. And then Tom’s worst enemy could not criticise bis danqing. As he relinquished herto her cousin’s care, Anstruther heaved a sigh of ex aggerated but very great regret. Then Lotta put out an impulsive little hand and said hastily: “Mr Burglar, it-you cau- conquer your fancy for entering people’s win dows enough to call in a more ortho dox way, i shall be pleased to see you.’’ it , “Thank you,” murmured Austu* tlier, pressing the soft warm hand with quick unnecessary warmth. The acquaintance so oddly begun was prosecuted with ardor. Lotta’s burglar laid hot siege to her affections, and before loug induced her to set up housekeeping—I had almost written housebreaking—with him. Biernly moral old relative, ller latest protege, upon whom she bestows all the doting fondness of old age, has re cently graduated at West Point, and enters the United States army as 2d lieutenant of cavalry. He lias never jet forgotten, and we trust never will forget, bis debt ot gratitude, to this fond old aunt. Proudly independent in thought and action, keen of speech, unfiinch- ingly rigid in her opinion of honesty and right, this good old la ly has tor half a century beeu a decided feature- in the society ot^her village. No vis itor can be said to have at all “done’’ the place until he has visited her Yet has this attention nothing in it af pat ron ige. One would iu lad as soon think of patronizing Miss Betsey Trot-vood. It is really a tribute to modest, unobtrusive worth. Il i* refreshing in this age. wtiere money is considered all powerful, either to purchase flattery or buy oft' censure, to fiud one who without a:iy of the idvantages of weaitli has beeu es teemed and honored simply for merit. One of the most beautiful traits in the character ot this venerable old lady is t ic childlike gratitude that she cherishes for those who have shown her kindiiUrS. She never lirei oftalk- ng of those who in her earlier years proved themselves: her friends. Mr. Stephens has perhaps no such friend in the world. She is -proud of Ids greatness, very proud, hut to her, the great statesman, the brilliant orator, the classical author is as nothing com pared to the warm heaited, generous beue'aclor whose ear is open to her most trifling complaint and whose hand is ever ready to assisi. EX-G VOERNOR JOHNSON. Coluiithufl Enqniici- One of the strong men of our State has gone. His was one of th? grand minds that in tlie good old days made Georgia the E-rpire State' of tlie South. Under his administration the Western aud Atlantic tailroad was placed in condition to pay the large sums which since have (toured into the St te Treasury. He lielonged to the old school who if they desired office acted with great dignity. They canv ssed after nominations, not be fore, and remained at their hoim-s until the choice of a con- ention was known. Honor with them was a sa cred thing, illustrat ed by acts and not by profession. The spirit of proud self reliance waa cultivated among those old leaders who scorned all that was little and low and heeded not the voice of the demagogue, turned away the flatterer and feare-d not the ene my. Those of the horn si and palmy days of Georgia polit es a*e fast pass ing away, and many have appeared nobler aud truer as they neared the close of file's day. Revolution did not contaminate their virtues. They were true to the State, and watched her interests as f.iithhiily a* the stars poiut to tlie pole. The deceased was a noble Georgia-'.
