Agricultural Congress.—The third session of this body conveys at St. Louis, Mo., on Monday, May 27 th, under the auspices of the St. Louis Agrieultral and Mechanical Association. Delegates are being appointed in all sections of the counlry, and the prospects for a full attendance and au interesting meeting, are most flattei ing. Societies in every department of agriculture are entitled to send del egates upon a basis of one for each fifty of its members. The Secretary, Mr. Chas- W. Green, of Jackson, We would advise our local societies to be represented. Grant has said within th last few days that, in case the content was between himself and Greely, he would get at least one-half of the Democatic vote. The Dawson Car Manufacturing Company employ regularly, at good ■wages, from seventy-five to one hundred mechanics. They are sup plying many of th 3 Southern roads with cars of the best style, and Colonel Nelson, the President, says they are going into the manufac ture of passenger coaches at once, and have orders now on hand to be filled. They use Georgia and Ala bama iron and Georgia pine. Students in tiie Agricultural College. —A large number of Stu dents have already been admitted into the new agricultural college, at Athene, probably as many as an hundred, and they-continue to ar rive by every train. The new col lege starts off under most encoura nuspiccs. Just here it may be sta ted that a bill to exteud the lime, within which the States could act upon the much talked of Land Scrip has not passed Congress, as repor ted in some of the papers. Such a kill has passed the House only, and *vhen brought before the Senate, it is .certain to have some negro-equal ity pr-o-yiso attached to it by Sum ner or Morton. But the bill allu ded to was not introduced to was not introdued until after Gov. Smith had granted the scrip to the University at Athens.-— Savannah Morning News. Can a Married Woman Mort gage Her Separate Estate ? This question was before the Chan cery Court of Bullock county, last week, in the case of Jesse Locke, administrator, vs. A. T. Bell. The question arose as to the power of a married woman, though a feme sole, to mortgage her separate statutory estate after the removal of the husband as trustee, from intemper ance, linpeciUty, or for any other eau*e. The questiou was argued with great ability, pro and con, by Pugh and Aldington. The Chan cellor, Hon. -B. B. Me Craw, decided that a married woman, though a feme sole, had no power to mort gage, if made, was null rsnd void, and had no validity in law. The Griffin News of the 3d has the following item : Mr. Joel Byars, a very wealthy and respectable gentleman who recently died in Butts county, raised thirty-eight bales of cotton duriug the war, which he never sold, and asserted he never would, if the infamous Government tax on it had to be paid. He was a conscientious, upright citizen, and became satisfied the tax was illegal and outrageous, and had he lived, would have suffered it to rot before he would have paid this tax on it. How Many Electors forGeor- GI A. —The question has been asked whether the electoral college will be made up on the existing repre «entasion in Congress, or under the new aportionment. The Louisville Commercial publishes a note from a Senator in Congress, whose name is not given, which says: The questiou you propound was fully discussed in Congress more than once, and it has been agreed and decided that a State is entitled to the number of Presidential elec tors corresponding to the number of Representatives to which she is enti tled under the new apportionment, instead of the number allowed by the old npportignment. The Worst Inlander. Blunder after bliUidet- marks the course of the administration oil the indirect Alabama claims* The President ahd his advisers do hot seem to kucKv their oWn minds for twenty-four hours together. The British Cabinet is charged with having lost Its head; and the same may justly be said of the Cabinet at Washington. In their flounder ing efforts to extricate themselves frotn all the antecedent mistakes, the President and Secretary Fish made another capital error on Sat urday, which we fear will alienage from the administration much . of that support which men of all par ties have been willing to give to every proper effort to settle the indirect claims. Hitherto, the Democratic and the independent journals, with very few exceptions, have declined to take advantage of the want of good sense and tact dis played at almost every turn by our government. They have felt that a great national question was involv ed, and that party prepossessions should be sunk in a common patri otic wish to solve it justly and hon orably. This real magnanimity appears to be holly thrown away on the administration. Forgetting its own extreme vulnerability, it now undertakes to make the Ala bama business a party matter solely; and by so doing invites and will surely receive the full measure of caustic criticism which such pre sumption deserves. On Saturday the President and Secretary of State asked by written invitation a conference with only the Republi can members of the foreign com mittees of the two Houses, to talk over the great trouble and divide witli them the hurden of its settle ment. This act of itself is unprece dented, undignified and weak, even if all the members of the com mittees had been summond to the meeting. If it was necessary to consult them at all, that should have been done at the outset. But no ! the administration wants for itself all the glory of healing up the differences between the United States and England ; and it is only when that glory is turning to shame that it seeks for others to share the load. From this consultation, upon a subject so deeply concerning the honor and interests of the nation, the opposition committee men were insultingly excluded; although among them arc members of great experience in international affairs, and sincerely anxious to servo the counsry and help out our govern ment. The President and Secreta ry Fish had misjudged the pliancy of their men. Two Republicans on the House Committee of For eign Affairs bluntly refused to'lend the sinking fortunes of the admin istration their support in this mat ter, under the circumstances, and those two with the three uninvited Demociats make a majority in that branch. Then, as the report goes, the conference broko up, leaving the President and his Secretary overwhelmed with the conviction that they had perpetrated the worst blunder of the long series in try ing to make a strictly administra tion issue of the Alabama claims. After this, we can have 110 faith in the capacity of the present govern ment to wind up the controversy witli England in a manner that will be satisfactory to the Ameri can people. If that is done under the present regime, we shall owe the result more to the anxiety of England to disembarrass herselt of a very grave open question, than to the good judgment and shrewd ness of this administration. nal of Commerce. A New way to Enforce Jus tice.— Recently a man from the Country was standing on the corner of a street in Savannah, counting his money, when a notorious ne gro thief snatched the whole amount, $75 and made off with it. An oifi cer standing, ner r j pursued and captured the thief, Joit not before lie had secreted the mOnC/. Car ried befoica Magistrate, he beC an^ e very abusive of the white race id general, and particularly insulting to bis honor, who with a few well directed blows from a chair, gave him a feeling appreciation of the dignity of the Court and its asso ciations, which resulted in an ac knowledgement of the thief and the production of the stolen money. This method of enforcing j ustice, would work better, if oftener tried. The Charges Against the Rev. Dr. Huston.— Rev. Mr. Rogers, the presiding elder of the Baltimore Methodist Episcopal Circuit, has completed the preliminary examina tion of the charges against Rev. Dr. L. D. Huston, and on Thursday last forwarded a copy of the formal indictment to Dr. Huston at Cin cinnati, with the request that he would inform the presiding cider when he will be ready for trial.— The committee to try the case has been appointed, and the trial will be proceeded with as soon as Dr. Huston is ready.— Savannah News. What Greeley Says. —Since Mr. Greeley has been put in nomi nation by the Liberal Republicans, what he has said and may say will be read with interest. Hear him as reported by a Washington letter writer “I saw the old man on Saturday, and he is made clear through He says he never was a politician and so much interested in a campagin as now. The En glish language is totally inadequated for his use when talking of the ad ministration, and he freely asserts that even should the Philidelphia Convention throw Grant over, he wouldn’t support any of the d—d gang of thieves. The Democrats, says, helped us to break up Tammany, and now we are going to help the Democrats break up a worse set than ever Tammany was.’ A bill repealirg the tariff on tea and coffee lias passed both Houses of Congress, and awaits the signa ture of the President.

The practice of remaining away from church until after the service shall have been opened, whether by negligence, or design, is intolerable, for people who profess either relig ion or respect for them engaged in religious rites. It is second, in det rimental effect on the harmony and beauty of the service, to the wilful and wanton retiring from church amid the service. Still there is no excuse which church-going people can render for the habit of disturb ing divine service every time they go, by delaying to go until after the service has been begun. Ifit were possible to reach the young and thoughtless portion of the community by such criticism as this, I would attempt to show them how verdant and ridiculous they appear when congregated around the church-doors and on the vesti bules while the people are assem bling. It is sadly to be regretted that any of the sons of intelligent parents in such a community as this, should not long ago have been tanght more dignified manners. Do these young people suppose their sisters and mothers desires to be stared at as they assend the steps, and enter the church by a dozen or score of ill-mannered youths, who crowd the way and stamp on the floor and carry on idle conversa tion ? Then why will the" persist in treating other ladies so ? Why not, when they arrive at church, give evidence of the’ cultivation that every gentleman is supposed to possess, by quietly entering the church and taking seats and ob serving the order and decorum of the place ? It is not the province of courts, or in the power of laws to-conceal the will of the people, and to inject into their hearts and minds or expel from them, any re ligions tenet or opinion. Society cannot coerce the people. But so ciety demands of all members who would maintain respectable places in it, that the opinions and feelings of other people should be respected. Here are a good many of our young men, and men of riper years, who are too genteel to cre ate a disturbance in church by changing places, stamping with the feet; talking 01 laughing, or any thing that can be remarked as in tended to interrupt the service— but who do not regard it amiss to turn their faces from the preacher and stare at the ladies. And I cannot conceive a practice more detrimental to religion than even that of ogling iu church. For while it is not criminal, the general prevalence of the practice under mines all spiritual devotion, and changes the sanctuary and the hour of worship into an occasion for the insinuating wiles of Cupid—from the cultivation of love to God and humility iu His holy presence, to the cultivation of earthly passion and human pride. lam sorry to say, that in this country, it is not confined, in open practice, to the male sex. There are many of tin young, beautiful and innocent among us, who would no doubt be astonish themselves, on going home from church any sabbath, to sit down and re call to memory, the number of times du ring one service, they have turned *Jieir pretty faces from the preacher to gazt> -it the men. It would as tonish them sC:U more if they had some kind friend to Jell thenl how undignified behavior tends ic lower them in the estimation of the very men they gaze at in church. There is one general proposition on which all our female friends may safely repose. It is unnecessary for any woman who is worth look ing at to try to show herself in ehurch. She is sure to be Been; and could not hide herself, if she were to try. And every attempt on her part, which critics can detect as such, to make the exhibition, in vites a mental, and it may be spo ken criticism at her expense. And the same remark is true of men.— The effort to show themselves in church is entirely useless. The ostentacious spirit, and the intent to be seen, is everywhere ap parent in this country, an the as sembling of the church congrega tion. The men show it in the force with which they strike their heels on the floor ; or by the opposite ex treme of assumed lightness and tip toe ostentation and by their stately airs, their delays in being seated etc., instead of entering quietly, and proceeding with natural gait to their seats. Women enter the aisles with feathers erect, streamers flying, skirts distended, and march down with an air which says as plainly as if pasted in large letters iu their foreheads—“ Every body look,” “ Scrutinize my bonnet, my plume, chignon, skirts and trim mings before I take my seat.” See with what a hop and ship, and frisk and rustle of skirts I can en ter this pew and how much space these skirts can occupy.” Now I do not wish to be offensive. Still I 1 cannot pass this method of entering church by either sex in milder Ulan* ner than to say it is all ridiculous, when compared with the quiet, dig-- nified, unostencemu entry, and pas* sage down the aisle, and graceful gliding into the pew, without un necessary delay, and with no appa rent intent to attract the attention of others, There is a prevailing habit with some of our elegant church going people, which is exceedingly annoy ing, upon which I will remark in conclusion. It relates to the meth od of getting out of church. The congregation assembles by the entrance of individuals or groups but disperses, all at once The general desire is to get out of the press of the crowd. And the decorum of the occasion is not prop erly observed if the crowd does not disperse in an orderly manner. Ev ery thing that impedes or obstructs the people in dispersing is an incon venience to them and disturbance of decorum. It is no time to stop and shake hands iu the aisles, and converse with friends. Every body should either move forward or get out of the aisles and doors, and give place to others, that the peo ple may be in good order. All I have said of decorum at church has been induced by a de sire to excite reflection with a view to reformation and improvement.—* None of us are too old to learn, and no community so perfect in man ners as not to be profited by an ex amination into alledged dijects. Randolph Superior Court. Wednesday, May Bth, 1872. The Committee to whom was re ferred the subject of the demise of Jas. J. Ividdoo, a member of the Cuthbert Bar, make the following report and ask that it be entered upon a separate page of the minutes and published in the Cuthbert Ap peai, and Georgia Democrat. Death has lately dealt with fear ful havoc among the members of our profession. Not only in this circuit, but in other parts of the State, have they fallen. This is the third occasion within a year, when the Bench and Bar of the Pataula Circuit, have stopped to throw flowers upon the graves of depart ed brothers. It is but a few years since the Bench was made vacant by death, and since the father— and ex-judge departed. And now the son has fallen iu the prime of life and full vigor of his manhood. It is highly becoming we should reverent ly pause and consider our own mor tality, the uncertainty of human life, the universally acknowledged claim of death over all our species, and our solemn accountability, to the giver of life, and source of hope lor peaceful immortality. James Johnson Kiddoo was born at Decatur, DeKalb’County, Geor gia, on the 19th day of April 1831. In early childhood his father remov ed to Cutbbert where he was raised and resided until tbe time of his death the 24th day of March 1872. He was a law student in early life; but never adopted the profession, or was admitted to the Bar until the November term of this court 1869. , His mature age and high grade both in native intellect and educa. tion, entitled him to honorable rank in the profession from his first accession to it. His brethren cheerfully recognize and vividly remember his integrity of character, with many other vir tues in'connection with his high or der of mind, and we deplore his un timely death, and tender to his kin dred, our condolence and sympathy; while we bow with snbmissir* awe to the Judgement of omnipotence which has taken him. from our midst.

The Central Rairoad Steamer line. —President Wadley returned from New York on Sunday, where he has been engaged in arranging the business pertaining to the re cent purchase of New York steam ers by the Central railroad, and which arrangement, we learn, takes effect from the Ist of May. The combination of the three New York lines of steamers, entered into mouths ago, will not expire, we hear, until a year from next Au gust, so that .the Murray Ferris and Black Star Line will still con tinue to run in connection with the Central railroad combination. • The summer schedule will be so arranged that the steamers of the Murray & Ferris and Black Star lines will sail alternately from Sa vannah on Wednesdays, and the Generals Barnes and San Jacinto, of the Railroad line, on Saturdays, The agent? of the various compa nies will still act in their capacity, but we hear that Mr. Garrison will have charge of the Railroad line in New York. We have been unable to glean further facts than these, but at the proper time will give our readers the benefit of additional informs tion concerning this important move. — Savannah Advertiser.

Superior Court for Randolph county, beg leave to make the following General Presentments, and Recommendations, aud »sk the accustomed publication in our coun ty papers. We have very carefully and patently con sidered the various interests given in charge by His Honor. Ist. The roads are in good condition, ex cept where the Railroad and public high way come into close proximity between Cntbbert nud Cotton Hill. Recommended that both be appropriated for public use. un til such use comes iu conflict with said R. R. Company’s construction in laying track. Bridges are iu good order, except one across Notcbaway creek, near Rebobeth Chinch. The Ordinary will please have such properly examined, and act as wisdom may dictate as to repairs or building anew. Also, that assistance to the amount of twen ty-five dollars be allowed in constructing a bridge over little Notehaway creek, near Bracy Britt’s residence, on road leading from the Wardlaw place across to Mrs. Gilberts. THE JAIL. The jail is found in good condition, neat ly kept, and prisoners represent that they get plenty of substantial and healthy food, well prepared. The prisou well is in need of immediate repairs, being entirely unfit tor use. aud the citiaens of that community com plaining at the annoyance of haviug to fur nish water for the jail.

In common, with all earthly tilings, this old and honored temple has lelt the weighty hand of time, showing signs of wounds, — and not all honored seal*,—from top to bot tom.

Sheriff, Clerk tuperior Court, and other o(Beers who ever expect to apply to a grand jury for extra pay to be sure‘to keep an ac count—both cash and expenses that such ju ry may have some data, fro-na which to ap proximate what you may be justly entitled to ; for we think we but reflect the opinion of all good citizens, when we assure you that we are ever willing to render full com pensation for services of our courteous, kind, accommodating, and very efficient officers. The Sheriff’s office is in need of a docket book, which the Ordinary will furnish. COMMITTEE OF EXAMINATION. On account of the application of the dif ferent county officers for appropriation for extra pay. and for the purpose of ascertain ing the amounts ot flues and forfeitures that have been collected during their term ot office, and what distribution has been made of the same, we respectfully recommend that • Hon. Samuel A. McNeil and Hiram A. Crit teuden, be appointed by your Honor, to in vestigate the same, and report to the next Grand Jury at the next term of the Court; and that said officers be required to appear before them and render all the assistance necessary for the investigation. And we further recommend that Hons. S. A. McNeil and S. A. Crittendon receive the sum of $l5O, as p^ v f° r suclj services, and that the Ordi nary prep^ re 1° P a y the same. CoO'TY COURT. The power of establish!:?;. «!»s tribunal in our county, being rei2? rr ?d by the Legisla ture to the discretion of ouf body, after care fill consideration, we deem the creation of such a court inexpedient, for the to' .'owing reasons. Ist. Because the good accomplish ed would not be commensurate to the cost imposed on our already overtaxed county, tor the proper maintenance ot an additional temple of justice. 2d. Because we do not think it advisable or just to recommend the establishment of any more tribunals that would impose on our fellow citizeus the ne cessity of frequently abandoning their daily avocations, incurring so often in the year the trouble and expense of plodding their weary way to' town or court to adjust real or imagiuary difficulties. 3d. B cause we think that Justices of the I’eace, could as ef ficiently discharge the duties, auu bear as graeelully the high prerogatives desigued by the Legislature for'this court. We therefore respectfully ask our next General Assembly to grant Justices of our county, and of ether counties who may tbinkai we do about this matter, all the powers, honors and prerogatives now con templated for Judges of the county court. EDUCATIONAL, As to the duties devolved on this body by the free school act, we have only to say, that we have carefully examined them, and we have made our most graceful and rever ential bow when approaching the temple of learning—that we have accepted the situa tion as presented to us by the Legislature, and as expounded and suggested by the State School Commissioner, and that we have In this particular, discharged to the best of our ability, all our obligations in the elections of the following officers : Thom as A. Coleman, Jr., for long term ; N. T. Crozier, for long* terra; Capt. J. J. Harper, forshoit term; H. A, CritteDden, for short term. JUDGE WILLIAM COLEMAN. While we feel highly honored by the Leg islature in thus permitting us to dispose of topics of vital interest to the-citizens of our eoutity.Jwe would most cordially, sine- rely and honorably suggest to that honorable body to take into their most earnest consid eration another matter that is galling and onerous to the larger class of our people, the planters, the bone and sinew of our couutrys prosperity. We allude to the statutes discriminating in favor of debts founded on articles of prime necessities, onerous in their bearing and deleterious to the planting interests in their results. Let all debts be equal before the law. PAUPSK FUND. We recommend the levying a tax to raise four hundred dollars for feeding the poor. In closing our duties, we tender our sin cere thanks to this Court, and its officers having been kindly aud courteously treated without the least exception ; also oir very attentive Uncle Burrell.
