THE CONSTITUTIONALIST WEDNESDAY August 4, 1875. GEORGIA GENERAL - NEWS. On Wednesday a line rain fell at Mil ledgeville. The Carroll County Times takes two full sticks of bourgeois to return thanks for a catfish. Greensboro is suffering from remit tent fever, the result of a large water melon ctop. The Baltimore Gazette of Saturday says “Governor Toombs is sound on the money question.” Hon. Geo. F. Pierce, Jr., is eonfmed to his house in Sparta, from coming in contact with poison oak. The Sparta Times and Planter re ports “a splendid rain” last Wednes day, and crops rapidly reviving. The LaGrauge Reporter estimates that the corn crop of Troup county has been cut off fully one-third by the drouth. Mr. John G. Eckman, of Macon, claims to own the first locomotive ever run in America. It is a working model, and weighs less than eight pounds. The Houston Home Journal reports “a splendid season” Monday of last week, which was enjoyed by nearly all the county, but especially the eastern and southern portion. Thomas county has 30,651 acres in corn, 29,600 in cotton, 7,118 hogs for killing next Winter, aud 5,711 sheep. During the year 520 sheep were killed by dogs. She also has 18 fish ponds aud 562 bee hives. Upson county returns 964 white and 808 colored polls. Aggregate returns of white and colored, $1,010,480.

Floyd county reports a falling off of $350,108 in taxable valuables this, as compared with last year.

The Atlanta Herald's Fourth-of-July pamphlet is now ready for circulation at the rate of twenty-five cents a copy. It will be found for sale only at the bookstores, the regular colporteurs having refused to handle it on account of the explosive nature of its contents. — Sav. News. Savannah Advertiser: The heated term, if anything, shows the number of those matrimonially inclined to be considerably in excess of the several previous months. The number that have procured the necessary papers from the Ordinary during the month of July to contract matrimony amounts to seventeen whites and twenty-six blacks. For the mouth of June the number of licenses issued were thirteen to whites and twenty-two blacks. Gainesville Vindicator: A friend re siding near the Talbot line informs us that among the parties arrested near Bellevue some time ago, for horse stealing, is one who proposes to turn State’s evidence, and whose testimony will implicate some parties who have hitherto borne unblemished reputa tions. One of the men in jail is a man of wealth, and has never been taught in the commission of any illegal acts before. Kich developments are ex pected. Savannah News: The editor of the Washington Gazette writes a column to suggest to tho young men of that town that they ought to hire a camp ground for tho purpose of practicing on their brass horns. This suggestion is more powerful than an aphorism. None but those who have sat under the influence of an eighteen year old maniac with a music book before him and a two-horse trombone clasped in his warm em brace, can understand the lonesomeness of the thing. Macon Telegraph: A double wedding ceremony took place in the Jewish Syn agogue Wednesday, which we have not noticed before because of our inability to obtain the names of the parties most interested. The couples made happy by this rather unusual event were Mr. Samuel Gunhouse and Miss Mary Friend, both of this city, and Mr. M. Fisher, of New York, and Miss Sarah Friend, of Macon. Both the brides were daughters of Mr. J. Friend, our well known Mulberry street merchant. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Mr. Steiuheimer, of Macon, aud Rev. S. Gersoni, of Atlanta. Savannah Advertiser: We take the following extracts from a letter to ono of our Bay street merchants from Emanuel county, dated July 25th: I am sorry to say I am not making one third of a crop of corn, and if possible, uot one-quarter of a crop of cotton. Iu this settlement we have not had rain to do any good since May. Our crops are burnt up. I fully expected to make four bales of cotton, and the prospect now is that if I get over one bale I will do very well. One-half of the leaves have fallen off and the young forms are following suit rapidly, and I shall, from present prospects, only get cotton from the present grown bolls, and they rise scattering. This neighborhood is the worst off by drouth of any near by, but I learu of others that are making noth ing. Macon Telegraph: James Sterling Gibson, a former pupil of Prof. Wil liams, but now matriculated in the State University, is a most remarkable instance of the maimer iu which the destruction of one sense seems to quicken and intensify the others. Mr. Gibson belongs to the Agricultural Col lege, and is a member of the junior class. He is totally blind, and without the aid of books with raised letters learns his lessons by simply having them read to him or explained by his friends, J. Gibson (a cousin), and H. M. Starnes, of Augusta. Yet the Faculty unite in saying that he is one of the best scholars in the institution, and es pecially excels in history and mathe matics. These statements are perfectly reliable, and certainly evince a first class intellect and surprising powers of concentration on the part of the blind student. Macon Telegraph: The election of Professors Waddell, Rutherford, Speer, and General Win. M. Browne, also af ford food for public congratulation, and will be followed, we trust, by the re-election of every other member of the present faculty. In all the institu tions of the country we have never met with an abler or more accomplished body of instructors. Dr. Tucker we have personally known for near forty years. He is a native Georgian, of commanding intellect, great versatility of mind, abounding humor, attract ive manners, and a .decided erudi tion. There is a certain bonhomie and naivete abeut him refreshing to behold in these conventional days, and, we may add, a something je ne sais’quoi which challenges the regard and ad miration of all who may have occasion to approach him. The Doctor is, more over, a Christian, and when assailed by "Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart" in the late squabble for the first office in the University, lie refused to plead to the ridiculous charges tabled against him, and with a sublime faith exclaimed: "My trust is in God ; He will not deliver rue into the bauds of mine enemies,” SOUTH CAROLINA. OUR BARNWELL LETTER. The Weather—The Crops—The County Commissioners—The Town Hall, &c. [From Our Regular Correspondent.] Barnwell Court House, S. C., ( August 1, 1875. ' j Since my last letter we have had one or two tolerably fair rainfalls, and in some portions of the county the rains have been extremely good—regular “trash movers,” as the farmers term it, though no amount of water can save the larger portion of the crops now, as they are destroyed beyond redemption —Sol’s scorching rays having success fully done a sad and blighting work some eight or ten days ago. The crop in this county may safely be estimated at about half of its general yield, judging from the unanimous com plaint of our planting community, the consequence of which will be’ that our octogenarian and worthy sheriff, Col. N. G. W. Walker, will doubtless have large sales after No vember next, which will also tend to the benefit of our old friend and worthy and well known editor, E. A. Bronson, Esq. “It’s an ill wind that blows no one any good,” you know, and if the readers of the time-honored Sentinel had heeded the wise and paternal ad vice found in its wide-awake columns at the commencement of the planting season, and not planted every foot of obtainable laud iu cotton, they would assuredly have been decidedly better off Possibly next year they will pay more attention to what the “old Senti nel” has to say, and come to the wise conclusion that “what Bronson knows aliout farming” is more valuable and safe to follow than those who preach continually that “cotton is king.” In my opinion, dear editor, corn is king now, and bacon his “right baud man,” while potatoes, peas, oats, wheat, &<;., follow close in his wake—cotton bring ing up the rear. Our County Commissioners. Last year Barnwell sent her Commis sioners to the penitentiary, but the chief magistrate of rotten Radicalism, Moses, saw fit, in his wise judgment, to restore them to liberty, in a few months after their pardon the Radical nominating convention met in Biack viile, alias Leslieville, to nominate can didates for the coming fall (last) elec tion; and lo ! aud behold, they actually placed on their ticket one of the very convicts whose hair had not recovered from the damage done it by the peni tentiary shavers, and agaiu elected him (Caesar Cave) to his former office, together with another dusky son of Africa, and one decidedly meaner and lower in the scale of social equality than his office colleagues, a white-skin man named George E. Osborne. We say white skin man because we have it from good authority that at a negro meeting near Williston, during the cam paign, he actually attempted to delude his ignorant hearers into be lieving that he teas a negro! Whether he has a black stripe down his back or not, I am fully aware of the fact, as are also our whole people, that he is a thorough Leslieite, a stigma alone suf ficient to damn him in the eyes of every respectable man of both races. But I have “flown the track,” like a bolting filly, and must get at that I intended to say at first. It is this: The Commis sioners of the county have recklessly squandered every dime of the county funds, paying off old and new claims against the county held by Blackville advocates, and absolutely ignoring or refusing to pay the just demands of others, until now there are not even funds sufficient with which to pay the Trial Justice’s claims—nay, not even enough to pay the necessary fees or expenses of the county’s lunatics at Columbia, two having been returned and left at the Poor House, at this place, last week, in consequence, I supp. se, of the lack of funds to defray their expenses at the Asylum. I rather guess s me of our dusky marshals will again have the extreme happiness of conveying to the State Hotel the present Board of Commis sioneis, aud at no very distant day either. If such is the case, they need hardly expect to be roaming among our people again within two or three months after their incarceration, as did the others, for they well know that Chamberlain is not the idiot aud scoun drel that their former friend Moses was. j have but one objection to Osborne’s going there, and that is I’m afraid his contaminating influence will corrupt, even to a greater degree, the convicts present. But his conviction, imprisonment, &c., is only a supposi tion of your humble scribe’s, so he will bring the matter to a close until he may possibly have the felicity of in forming you of the real occurrence of such a thing. “We shall soon see vat ve shall see.” Poor Carolina! Annexed is a paragraph clipped from the Kingstree Star of the 28th ult, giv ing an account of an incident that took place in the Court House at that piace some time last week, and which forcibly portrays the wretchedly miserable con dition of the onee proud and ehivalric South Carolina, once the garden spot of the Union and the home of Calhoun, the Pinckneys, Rutledges, Hamptons, Prestons and others of world-wide re nowu. “The first case tried at the late term of the court was Johu F. Nesmith for another vs. D. J. Pipkin. The suit was on a note for negro hire before the war. There was proof of some pay ments, and also proof that one of the negroes ran away and was taken back by his owner. So that the real question was whether there was anything due on the note, and if so how much. The jury was composed of eleven colored and one white man, the latter being chosen foreman. The case was ably argued by Mr. B. P. Barron for the plaintiff, and Mr. R. Dozier for the de fendant. An appropriate and lucid charge was delivered by J udge Shaw, and the jury retired. After remaining in the room near an hour, they came out and the foreman went up to the judge and delivered him the record. The judge looked at the paper, and then ' sent the jury back. They re mained a while nud then returned and the foreman again approached the judge with the same result, till he had sent them back three or four times. Finally the verdict was published -For [ the defendant,' the foreman signing I his name with the word ‘as’ before the word ‘foreman/ which the judge caused him to erase, We afterwards learned that their first finding was ‘.No bill for the defendant/ the second, ‘No bill for the plaintiff/ and the third, ‘We find nothing for the plaintiff.’ Who wants a jury trial before such a jury ? We caii Gov. Chamberlain’s attention to the case, as illustrating what sort of juries we are afflicted with in this county." Our Town Hall. The Town Hall, of which I wrote you in my last, is now soon to be built, the lumber having already been purchased. This is a work long felt in this commu nity, and will bo the means of reviving two or three Masonic Lodges in and around this place, which have, for the last five or six years, been doing noth ing. We have an old man down here who claims to be li t years of age, Recollects the Revolution well; will interview him soon and send you details. The Dunbarton Siamese Twins, of which I wrote you a week or so ago, are doiug well, and the mother earning a nice little sum by exhibiting them. Carolinian. The Colored G-lorification at Orange burg— A Large Crowd —The Speeches &c. ISpecial Dispatch to the News and Courier.] Orangeburg, August 2.— One of the largest gatherings of colored persons ever seen here met to-day to celebrate the emancipation of the slaves in the West Indies. The Randolph Riflemen, a colored company of Charleston, and a band arrived with the speakers about 2 o’clock. They proceeded to the Claflin University, where the meeting being called to order it was addressed by W. 11. Purvis, the Adjutant General of the State, in a tolerabl}’’ moderate speech. The Rev. T. H. Jackson followed with a capital speech, in which he gave some wholesome advice to his hearers. Elliott also addressed the crowd, but was not as well received as Jackson. He was too verbose for his audience. Benj. Byas next began an address, but the band made a diversion towards the town and his speech was lost. All the speakers were colored. The affair was rather tame, and seemed only intended to keep the politicians before the vo ters. Quelquefois.

SAXE. “ Pray, what do they do at the Springs ? ” The question is easy to ask; But to answer it fully, my dear, Were rather a serious task. Aud yet. in a bantering way, As the magpie or mocking-bird sings; I’ll venture a bit of a song, To tell what they do at the Springs: Imprimis, my darling, they drink The waters so sparkling and clear; Though the flavor is none of the best, And the odor exceedingly queer; But the fluid is mingled, you know. With wholesome medicinal tilings, So they drink, and they drink, and they drink— And that’s what they do at the Springs! Then, with appetites keen as a knife, They hasten to breakfast or dine— (The latter precisely at three, The former from seven till nine)— Ye gods! what a rustle and rush When the eloquent dinner bell rings! Then they eat, and they eat, aud they eat— And that’s what they do at the Springs! Now they stroll in the beautiful walks, < r 101 l in the shade of the trees; Where many a whisper is heard That never is told by the breeze; And hands are commingled with hands, Regardless of conjugal rings; And they flirt, and they flirt, and they flirt, And that’s what they do at the Springs! The drawing-rooms now are ablaze, And music is shrieking away; Terpsichore governs the hour, And fashion was never so gay! An arm round a tapering waist, How closely and fondly it clings! So they waltz, and they waltz, aud they waltz— And that’s what they do at the Springs! In short—as it goes in the world— They eat, and they drink, and they sleep; They talk, and they walk, and they woo; They sigh, and they laugh, and they weep; They read, they ride, and they dance; (With other unspeakable tilings); They pray, and they play, and they pay— And that’s what they do at the Springs!
