FRIDAY ifIOR.YI.YG, July 29, 1881. Yellow fever is epidemic in most of the ports of the Gulf of Mexico, with the ex ception of those in the United States. It has occurred to us that speaker Bacon is profuse in his liberality in regard to sharing the honors of the Chair with brother members. To day the astronomers expect the arrival of another comet (Bucko's) with which they are well acquainted, and it is regarded with peculiar interest in the scientific world. It will be only visible by means of a telescope until sorao time in October, when it can be seen with the naked eye. Gov. Roberts, of Texas, is meeting with censure because !:e would not consent to or der a thanksgiving over the escape of the President. llis reason was that he had no right to order religious services where church and State are separate in their functions. We agree with the Governor in the main, yet think that he could have well afforded to make the necessary order fn the present in stance. The Senatorial fight in the New York Le gislature ended last week in the election of the caucus nominee of the half-breeds, E. G. Lapham. In speaking of the two new Sena tors from that State, the New York Sun uses the following: “Neither Mr. Lapham nor Mr. Miller is a great man —so far as they have given U 9 opportunity to judge of their size. Neither of them is a statesman—so far as we can judge by their career in politics. Neither of them is an orator— so far as can be judged by anything that is known of their speeches, if either of them ever made a speech. Neither of them possesses any ob servable powers of mind—so far as their powers have been observed. Neither of them has been a leader of the Republican party— so far as its leadership is anywhere on record. Neither of them has identified himself with any public policy, though one of them, if not both of them, could tell an interesting story of the profitableness of private policy in po litical life. We cannot give the people of the State any satisfactory reason why Mr. Lap ham was yesterday elected a Senator of the United States, or why Mr. Miller was elected last Saturday. Mr. Lapham, however, will be watched with interest in the Senate, and hn conduct will be watched when he takes his seat, and performs its duties, as the suc cessor of Senator Conkling. Mr. Lapham is of Canandaigua, but we must give bis bio graphy accurately by saying that he was born at Farmington, in this State. Ilis birth took place in the year 1814, and on the 18th of October, so that he is now sixty-seven years of age. He was brought up on a farm, be came a lawyer, and has been a member of Congress for three successive terms, though we should not have known the last-mentioned fact if we had not found it in the Congres sional Director}’. Senator Hill in the Hands of the Surgeons. A Philadelphia special to the Baltimore Sun says: “Senator B. 11. Ilill, of Georgia, passed through this city Tuesday, en route for Cape May. He returned the same day in company with Dr. S. D. Gross, with whom he consulted about an affection of his mouth, of the character of which the Senator was ignorant. It proved to be epithelioma, and Dr. Gross consulted with Dr. Pancoast, when an immediate operation was decided on. It took place at one o’clock Wednesday, and Dr. Gross has communicated the following letter to the editor of the Press : “Jefferson Medical College Hospital, July 20.—1n response to your inquiry, I would say that Senator B. 11. Hill, of Georgia, was most successfully operated upon to-day, at 2 o’clock p. m., at this hospital, for epithe lioma. This affection, which formed inside the mouth, has been in progress about eigh teen months, without the patient being aware of its dangerous character. During the opera tion. while under the influence of ether, the Seuator lost no blood of any account, and ex perienced no shock. The patient is doing admirably well, and the prospects are good for a rapid and permanent recovery. “ A. D. Gross.” Epit helioma, a physician said, is a technical name for a cancer of the epithelium, or mucous membrane. In the instances where is appears in the mouth, it is most frequently found, perhaps, at the junction of the skin and mucous membrane. Senator Hill’s cancer was probably in this region, or within the lower lip. Excessive smoking, particularly of a pipe, sometimes produces epithelioma. It is not so dangerous in the mouth as in some lather parts of the body, for instance, in the Stomach, because it is accessible to the knife of the surgeon. In the process of formation the cancer causes great inconvenience, and possibly loss of sloop and appetite. If the cancer is dealt with in the early stage, and by a competent surgeon, it is possible to eradicate it, and Seuator Hill may reasonably hope that he u permanently cured. THE WORK OF OUR SOLONS. Our law makers and repealers aro still hard at work, to-wit: four hours each day. But then the committee work is exceedingly heavy, and this takes up the balance of the time, except a little while just before day for sleep. Most of the important matters have been brought before the House, and are in soak in some of the various committee rooms (and by the wn}\ here is where all of the real legis lation is done.) The report of t lie Penitentiary investigating committee has stirred things up considerably. While they reported no exceptional cases of cruel treatment, yet there were reasons to warrant them in suggesting more legislation to protect the convict's few remaining rights. Brown called for a special com mittee to go up to the Dade coal mines and take a look at his system. This was appoint ed, and the Senator carried them up under iiis own supervision and made them have a jolly time. Somebody gave a banquet in Chattanooga, and the committee was so well pleased with the way things were operated at the coal mines that they concluded to go to Nashville and sec how they were treating our convicts up there, and at the same time en quire about Tennessee's fine capitol building. They have not got to work on the Railroad Commission bill yet. This part of the job is dreaded. It is thought best, in view of the many changes, to make anew Code, and a proposi tion of that kind is before the House. Somebody wants tli3 fees for marriage li cense raised, but we hardly think it will pass. And by the way, there is a disposition to raise most of the fees and salaries of the go vernment officials. That cheap Constitution don’t work so well as was expected. The number of bills introduced in regard to the 9ale of spirituous liquors is unusually large, and if passed upon separately, would keep the Legislature busy until Christmas. Certainly, out of all of them, one general law can be digested that will meet all of the es aential requirements. A bill has been introduce ! to change the time of the county elections to the same day that tbe Governor and members of the Gen eral Assembly are elected. We are not yet able to judge as to its fate, but wo are in clined to the opinion that it would be a good measure. The interest law has not been up j’et, but from what we can gather, its friends are hard at work for that unjust measure. Some efforts have already been made to determine when they would adjourn, but as yet nothing definite in that direction can be determined upon, a9 new business continues to come in, with no prospects of its stopping. We note that one of our immediate Repre sentatives, Col. Silraan, has introduced seve ral bills changing parts of tbe Code. Just at this time matters and measures are in a chaotic condition, and it is a bard mat ter to tell wliat will be law and what will be rejected, but by next week the concern will commence turning out tbe genuine article. Letter from Logansvilfe. Logansville has the brag crops of North east Georgia. The outlook for a fine harvest is more promising than it has ever been. When the place gets a railroad from Covington, as it undoubtedly will soon, it will make its mark. The school is flourishing, although some of the students are kept out by measles, sore eves, &c. Prof. Dobbins wears a duster and hoop skirts. Tie back not acceptable. The new Baptist church at this place is ready for worship, and is a roomy, comfort able building. The Methodist's building has heretofore been used by both denominations. Mr. N. B. Brand threshed thirty-two bushels of wheat off of one acre of land. Who can beat it ? The peach and apple crop in this section is remarkably fine. J. J. Floyd is a good linguist. It is current ly reported that he used seven different forcible languages when the cows got into his water melon patch on the night of the 14th inst. A hail storm passed over on the 14th, damaging some fields considerably. Logansville and vicinity has not suffered from drouth for twenty years. The farmers around Jug Tavern and within a few miles of this place have suffered greatly from the dry weather. The horse which Mr. Harvey Johnson, of Jefferson, keeps in a swing is rivaled by '* old Bob,” of this place, owned by Mr. Ben Bras well. He has been long known as a turkey squirrel, i and opossum hunter. Some time since he contracted the habit of kicking when ever his tail caught in the harness, and “ Uncle Ben” cut off that useful appendage. Some weeks since “ old Bob” ran away while hitched to a plow, detached himself from the plow, and while running became entangled in the traces, which threw him, cutting both fore knees badly. “ Uncle Ben” kept him in a swing until he could walk, and now, although he is nearly well, watches over him closely. Land here sells for from $20.00 to $200.00 per acre. Tell Bill Hunter to come over. We will give him a plantation and wife. There is much excitement here over the prohibition question. There are four saloons here, and they will make strenuous efforts to maintain their present standing. They will probably “ whip the fight.” We are prepared to state that there are more babies and better lungs around Bay Creek than any other place or places ever can or ever did muster. Fag. Logansville, Walton Cos., Ga. Gray I lairs are Honorable, but their prema ture appearance is annoying. Parker’s Hair Balsam is popular for cleanliness and promptly restoring the youthful color. GIIOUGIA AIAVS. A few days ago a negro girl, about twelve years of age, who lived on Mr. Robert Rood's place, in Stewart county, was carelessly hand ling a can of kerosene oil, when it exploded, setting her clothing on fire. The flames were extinguished, but the girl soon died from the effects of her injuries. Gwinnett Herald : “ John Jordan, one of the prisoners who broke jail recently, was caj tured by the police force.in Atlanta last week, and Sheriff Patterson, on Saturday, brought him home securely chained, and he is now in jail, and will probaby remain there until he has an opportunity to attend one of Judge Erwin's levees.” Walton News : “The killing of the negro woman near Walnut Grove, some ten days ago, bids fair to furnish at least two subjects for the gallows. She was killed to make way for another marriage, and the husband of the murdered woman is in jail with tbe murderer. Ue is said to be sixty years old. Two women and one man will be tried for this crime.” Middle Georgia Times: “Mr. R. G. Matthews presented us this week with a sprig from a pear tree which, in a space of about six inches contained sixteen well developed pears. They were of A. J. Williams, J une variety, and were grown in Mr. Matthews' orchard. lie has one of the largest orchards in this section, which contains every variety of fruit grown in this climate.” Toccoa News : “ The whooping cough con tinues to struggle with numbers of our little people, and a few of our big ones yet. The disease is terrible upon young children, and is said to be of the severest type known to the oldest inhabitants. While we have heard of no death from the disease in this community, still it amounts to a calamity in view of the great suffering it inflicts upon the ch’ldrcn.” Barnesville Gazette: “A horrible affair oc curred on a plantation near White Sulphur Springs, in Meriwether county, a few days since. The house of Henry Green, colored, was burned, and threo children, being locked up in the house, were burned alive. It is thought that the house was set on fire to cover a theft of twenty-five dollars, which Green was known to have had.” Dublin Gazette: “One day last week Sir. W. S. Andrews was seining with a party for fish, and while his hand was under the water near an old stump or tree, he was bitten by a large moccasin. Mr. Andrews, we under stand, has suffered excruciating pain. Ilis hand is swollen to thrice its usual size in only a short while. At this writing, we learn that he is improving, and is thought to be beyond danger. This does away with the theory that snakes cannot bite while under water and out of the soil. They arc dangerous any way, even when dead.” Americus Republican : “ Some portions of this section are fearfully dry, while other por tions have been amply blessed with rain. The rains for two months past have been very partial, falling here and there, and never gen eral in their scope. Here in the immediate vicinity of Americus the crops have been greatly injured, and the dust and general dry ness of tilings is almost intolerable. Gardens are utterly ruined, and cotton is shedding, while corn was caught by the dry weather just as it was maturing. At points near here plenty of rain has fallen.” >♦♦♦ # P. W. Jones, of Albany, steps to the front with the first bale of the new Georgia crop. It was delivered in Albany on the 22d instant. A NEW kTnD OF WATCH CASE. New because it is only within the last few years that it has been improved and brought within the reach of every one; old in principle because the first invention was made and the first patent taken out nearly twenty years ago, and cases made at that time and worn ever since, are nearly as good as new. Read the following which is only one of many hundreds, your jewelers can tell of similar ones: Mansfield, Pa., May 28,1878. I have a customer who has carried one of Boss’ Patent cases fifteen years and 1 knew it two years before he got it, and it now appears good for ten years longer. R. E. OLNEY. Remember that Jas. Boss’ is the only patent case made of two plates of solid gold (one outside and .one inside) covering every part exposed to wear or sight, the great advantage of these plates over electro-gilding is apparent to every one.
