An American cruiser, the Richard Kush, has captured a British scaler, the Black Diamond, in Behriag strait. Listen for a growl from John Bull. You will linrdly know the state road lease bill when it is patched with the amendments oflered. The patches may be the strongest and best parts of the instrument. You need not be surprised if you see a new bale of cotton rolling into town to-morrow. And it will likely come from the direction of the Florida line. Eli Pickett, a Bartow county negro, has applied for a confederate pension under Georgia law. He was free when the war broke out, and served honorably through the war in an ar tillery company. Give him a pension. The negro in Liberty county who claims to be King Solomon, is named Shadrach. Where’s Meschnck ami Abednego? IiCt two coons trot out and claim to be these Hebrew chil dren. What is most wanted is a full cast of characters and a dress rehear sal of the farce. A great ocean race between the Teutonic and the City of New5 ork, two of the largest and fastest ocean steamships afloat, will come off on the Cth inst. Both steamers will head for the new world, from Liverpool, at the'Same hour. The result will be watched with interest. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says that were Judas Iscariot the democratic candidate in Mississippi he would be elected governor. This is probably true, aud the democrats would lie entirely justified in electing Judos against any candidate the re publicans would put up, as the least dangerous of two scoundrels.—Tele graph. The Subcr brothers, classing and ranking among the most successful farmers in Colquitt county, were in town this week. The Subcrs have an old fashioned way of taking back more money than they bring to town. ■ A farmer who docs this—and every one of them should—is on the road to Independence, if not to fortune. And independence is a mighty good thing. Better, perhaps, than a fortune. Wealth doen not always bring happi ness: independence docs. •«— Down on Cotton Futures. The United States Supreme court has finally declared future contracts in cotton illegal. In this case a plea of “wager” was set up, the defendant declaring the contract was made by patting up a margin, mid that it did not involve the purchase or delivery of actual cotton. Tho court held that it was understood that any settlement in respect to such purchases should be exclusively upon the basis of one party paying to the other only “llic difference between the contract price and the market ptice of said cotton futures.” The court, in rendering its decision, say: “If this lie not a wagering contract, under tho guise of a contract of sale, it would she difficult to imagine one that would be of that character. The mere form of the transaction is of lit tle consequence. If it were, the stat ute against wagers could easily be evaded.”—Chronicle. The Confederate Reunions. July is the battle month. It was n blazing, gunpowdery, thunderous month to the dwellers be tween the Potomac aud the Rio Grande, a quarter of a century or so ago. The confederate veterans seem to think it the best month in the year for their reunions, and they are mak ing the most of it. hi every state, from Virginia to Texas, the men who wore (lie gray are meeting in compa nies, regiments, brigades and <1 ivis tons, renewing the comradeship of the camp, and fighting their battles over again in a reminiscent way. It is a pleasant sight to sec—pleas ant even to the old time foemen on the other side of the line, as some of them who have made a manful charge upon the confederate barbecues will heartily testify. One tiling strikes all the visitors at these reunions—the youth and vital ity of our veterans. Many of them are barelv on the edge of forty. They were schoolboys when they rode with Forrest or marched with* Hood, and art; still young men. The older ones, too, are alert and full of energy. It is impossible to look around upon these men without recognizing the fact that they are still at the front— they arc in the van of Southern prog ress—building our cities and railroads —pushing our great enterprises. They arc no laggards when there is work to do, and their clear heads arc busy in our councils. These war-worn veterans—God bless them! —arc the flower of the new south, just as they were the flow er of the old south. The men who were the best soldiers are our best citizens. The men who were the most daring in winning the victories of fhe war arc the most enterprising in win ning the victories of peace. The old confederates will do to count on at all times and under all circumstances.— Constitution. LATEST TELEGRAPHIC NEWS- Alliance Men on Their Mettle. Raleigh, X. C\, July JO.—Colonel Polk, state secretary of the farmers alliance, to day received a telepram from the business apent of the Louisiana Farmers’ Union, which stated that to-day the New Orleans mills made the first shipment of odeiihelm- er cotton happing. This is made o cotton, and is forty-four inches wide. The mills will run day and night to meet the pressing demands. A telepram was also received from Texas, hv Colonel Folk, which stated that farmers of one of the largest counties Texas, have held a mass meeting, and dec that they would on no account use bagging made by the trust, hut would pen their cotton in the’ fields until they can obtaii cotton bagging. Colonel Folk says till fully illustrates the deterir ination of the southern farmers in regarl to the bagging question. That’s the way to talk. It is to he hoped that every planter in the South will set down on the infamous bag ging trust. The Ala., Ga. and Fla. Columbus, July .10.—Mr, John L Cowan, of the surveying corps of the Alabama, Georgia and Florida rail road, arrived in the city this morning from Quincy, having completed the survey of the proposed road from Richmond to that city on Saturday lost. The other survey is from Tallahas see to Dawson, llic latter town aud Iiichlaiul being on the line of the Columbus Southern. The distance from Columbus to Quincy is about 154 miles, and though no.decision ns to which route will lie taken lias as yet been arrived at, I am inclined to think the Richlnnd-Quiuey route will lie selected. The country through which this survey passes is riclt aud very productive. Tho new road will tap the Florida, Central and Benin sular by either way. Maj. W. 8. Green, chief engineer, is now hard at work on the maps aud profiles. Kilrain Ready to go Back. Bai.timobe, July 30.—Friends of Jake Kilrain, the prize fighter, met Detective John T. Norris r.t an up town hotel this afternoon and assur ed hi in that Kilrain would himself go to Mississippi and give himself up if lie were indicted by the grand jury of Marion county, Miss. This assurauce satisfied Norris, and he left for the South to-night. It is knowii now that Gov. Jackson would not issue a warrant for Kil- rain's arrest without au indictment brought' by the grand jury against Kilrain. When that is done the governor will no longer hesitate.

Washington, July 31.—It is estj mated at the treasury department to-day that the decrease in the public debt for the month of July is less than $1,000,000. This is said tube due to unusually heavy disbursements during the month, aggregating $33,- 000,1100, the payments on account of pensions alone amounting to over $15,250,000. Newark, N. -T., July 31.-Reports from all over Essex county indicate that the damage t_v the storm, which is still raging, will lie much greater than was thought last night.

Huge bowlders have been washed down into the lower streets and front yards. Blocks of street curbing have been washed out, and sidewalks under mined, Bri'x.-wick, Ga., July 31.—Bruns wick is up in arms to-day and would like to get hold of those who started rumors that yellow fever exists in the city. The telegram of the Morning News, addressed to its correspondent, inquiring for the facts was something of a surprise. The correspondent immediately sought for the officials, aud asked for an official statement in regard to the matter. In reply they adddressed the following: Itni ssivu-K, <;.i., July at, Isstl.—The ru mor tlmt yellow lever exists here is without foundation and is absolutely false. There is no ground at all for the report. M. J. Cot.sos, Mayor, J. A. Di xwoody, Health Ollieer, J. A. ItCTTS, M. 1). Chm'n, It. II., If. ItcKFOItU, M. I). DR. l’OSEY INTERVIEWED.

He was not at liberty to givo to the public the result of his investi gation lteforc it had been forwartlcd to Washington, lmt enough was learn ed from him warrant the statement that his report will declare the ru mors to be false, and also that he litis found lmt a few cases of sickness in Bruuswick, and those arc of a mild type. He will say further that sick ness is more oil the decrease boro then otherwise. Much indignation is felt at the action of the Savannah aufhqri- ties in refusing to allow the David Clark to bring passengers and bag gage to that city from Biunswick, without having first gained some reliable information relative to tbe health of Brunswick. ’ To Assess a Railroad. Atlanta, July 31.—[Special dis patch to Macon Telegraph.]—The compfollcr-general is not satisfied with the tax returns made by the Savannah, Florida & Western railroad. The re turns made by them were so low that the comptroller ca led the attention of the officers of the road'to it, but no satisfactory correction has been made. The comptroller decided to day that the properly would have to be assess ed by the state, and requested the governor to appoint a board of asses- ors. A minister and a wealthy member of his congregation were walking along the beach admiring the shells that had been cast up by the sea. “Can you tell me,’’ said the minis ter, “why this ocean is unlike—very unlike—my congregation ?” “I couldn’t toll ; no sir. I am dis posed to look upon conundrums fiivolous.” “Sometimes they are, hut this one isn’t. It is based on a sad, solid fact.” “Well, I give it up, anyhow.” “It’s because the sea shells out.” And tiic wealthy member was wrapped in thought for several min utes. Headquarters tor Drugs!
