HiUHttiriU* 6tsCttC. PUBLISHED BY J. C. McMICHAEL. li.UtXHSm.LE, (iEGKUA. Tlll USD AY , - - FEB. 14, 1878. The damage by the cyclone is esti mated at $50,000. Dispatches from all parts of the world show great respect everywhere for the late Pio Nono. The jury in the case of Anderson of the Louisiana Returning Board rendered a verdict of “Guilty with a recommendation of mercy to the court.” The trouble between Turkey and Greece has been quieted and the case wid be submitted to the conference of the Powers. The Popes last act was to provide for a continuance of Ins servant's salaries and the pensions of their widows. ■"■■nf Hi A cyclone visited Augusta Ga., last Triday night. It was about three hundred yards wide, and de stined several brick and wooden buildings. Comparatively little loss of life. A corespondent of the Augusta Chronicle gives a column article to show that Hon. Joseph. B. Ciun ming should be elected Speaker of the House. Too soon to be agitat ing that question. The English House of Commons is not the most dignified deliberative body, The members sometimes hiss each other. Such was the case in the excitement of the vote of the six million sterling last week. The vote stood 328 in favor and 104 si gn i net. \\ hile Wells is in jail at New Or leans, for forging returns by which if ayes was made President, he is wri ting a statement. What he proposes to reveal is not known. It will be out soon. Cartersville held a greenback meet ing and passed resolutions against contraction, the national banking system, the resumption act, demand cd a uniform currency and a double metallic basis. Semtor Iliil made his speech before the Senate on the silver bill last week, lie stated his position to be in favor of the remonetization of silver but was opposed to the Bland silver bill. He also favored the lim> it:it ion of eninugc. ire took oec i sion to wrap the newspapers over the bead, by saying that there were a thousand papers while he spoke en deavoring to make the people believe that half the congressmen have been bought up by the bondholders. Georgia lias seventy-seven banks Eleven of these are national banks, thirty-five Btate banks and thirty one private banking bouses. Gov ernor Colquitt cant persuade them that they should make to him an annual return. There is an old law which requires all banks of the state to make annual Statements of their business lo the Governor.* Several have as yet failed to make the re turn. A young man by the name of Jo seph Edwards has been arrested in Atlanta charged with the murder of a nego in Marietta. Edwards says there was a general row, and he struck the negro with a rock in sell defense. The public business is too pressing on Senator Hill for him to come Lome and attend a meeting of hi> cons itu uts. But not so when his dibits need him at home. lie is said to be at home now to engage in a murder case in which he is employed. The office of the Commission for the Southern Stales to the Paris ex position of this year will be opened in Atlanta, at the Slate Capital, from th s date, till furthur notice. Any communications should be addressed to Gen, P. W. B. Young or S. W. Small. There will be an attempt to set aside the conviction of General An derson. of the Returning Board, on the ground that the negro jurors were bulldozed. Tins will not work as such w as not the case. A member of the House got in just after his name was called, but still he thought lie had u right to vote. Speaker Randall remarked that it was the duty of Congressmen to l>o on band attending to the pub lic business, and that the only per sons aggrieved were the constituents of the absentees. Ohio is prop sing to increase her revenues by requiring travelling men. repre-enting nonresident houses to take cut a State license. r I his is cer tainly a good me; hod of raising funds for the tate trca-i ry, but we cant see but that the consumer would pay the license, in the end. It would not relieve theHiurdeus of the tax prayer at all Railroad Discrimination*. The merchants of New York are now having trouble with the great railroad trunk lines running west from that city. It seems that these trunk lines are producing a stag nation in commercial circles, at Now York, by cutting rates from the in terior towns to the West and allow ing the rates from New York to re main the same. Large firms claim that they can ship goods to Boston and then have them shipped through Yew York to the West, cheaper than they can ship them direct from New York. Thus it is evident that New York is discriminated against, by the trunk lines. Complaints have been laid before Governor Robinson and requests made of him to present the matter to the Legislature. The roads claim that they cut down from Boston in order to com pete with liiiesj from that point. Educational. The House Committee ou Education and Labor has agreed to report a bill giving the proceeds of the sale of public lends in the several States and Territories to the States and Territories for educational purposes, to be expended under the di rection of the State Legislatures respect ively. We are glad to see steps taken to ward educating the young people who ae to take the place of the present actors in life. We scarcely know whether we are happy to see the General Government taking the mat ter in hand. If the appropriation can be made to the states and the money expended under the direction of the Stale Legislatures respectively we should heartily approve (he act. But if in future there should be a system of education conducted by the General Government, it would but insure another sore on the body, polilic and prove deter* mental rather than beneficial. But something must be done, if we would transmit the American Republic to our posterity wiih its freei institutions and its republican liberty. The ear ly future is ominous of evils that may, even in a generation, produce wonderful changes. There is an im* mense struggle to this effect. There 's a colored Minister in Barnesville who has a letter from Ireland, call ing on the minister to send a young sprightly negro, and one who is un married to Ireland.- The author of tiie letter claims that he desires to know more of the ministers church and conyeys the idea, that if a young and sprightly negro could be sent to Ireland, he might obtain considerable money for the pastors chiu-oh. The letter b with it a mystery that can only be solved by the immagina tion. We imagine it to be a catho lic move for purposes to u plain to be here stated. At any rate a young colored man has been recommended and we hope to give you in futnre the sequel. Did you ever think of the real teachers of our American boys and girls, to say nothing of the colored race? Our Government is now over one hundred years old. We have many colleges and universities in the thirty-seven slates of the Union. Of the books used in these colleges and universities, seven out of every ten of the authors are Germantwo from other nationalities, and only one in ten are American. Then who teach es the American mind, science, art, and philosophy? We get our ideas from Germany. It will be well for the above appropriation to be made and expended under the direction of the State Legislatures respectively. Educational Convention. Last week represenatives from sev oral states met tpn Atlanta and held an Educational Convention, were representatives from general After perniananlly organizing, by calling Prof. G. J. Orr, our wor thy State School Commissioner to the chair, a committee was aj(point ed to draft business. The committee reported and the following resolu tions were adopted: Whereas, certain measures are now pen ding before the congress of the united Sla tes, w hich propose to raise, from the sales of the public laud and other sources a fund to be distributed among the several states in the aid of popular education; and, Whereas those measures provide that this distribution shall be made for a term of years upon the basis of illiteracy and afterwards upon the basis ot school popula tion; and. Whereas, the measures referred to, do not claim for the national government the right to control education in the sta tes; but provide, simply, for turning over the fund rarsed to the constituted author ities of the sevaral states to he applied under state laws; therefore. lie it resolved. That this convention dots most heartily approve the adoption of some measure of national legislation which shall embody the principlesset forth in the foregoing preamble. Resolved, That the educational wants of the southern state's are issued immediate and pressing. And we would suggest to congress the consideration of the question as to whether it might not he best to dis tribute and apply s the entire corpus of whatever funds that body from time to time, may provide to the immediate relief of these wants. Resolved, That as the education laws of the several states represented by us, make no discriminations iu favoi of or agaiust the children of any class of citizens and as those charged with the adminis tration of these laws have endeavord in the past to have them carried into effect im partially so do we pledge ourselves to use 1 our iuiiutmce, to secure eveu-iiauded justice to all classes of citizens in the application of any educational funds provided by the national government. Resolved, That a committee consisting of the president of this convent on, and fifteen members and fifteen alternates, one member and one alternate to be selected from each of the southern states, be ap pointed by the president of this convention to memorialize congress upon the subject set forth in the foregoing preamble and resolution. Resolved That we commend this impor tant interest to the especial attention of our immediate representative iu congress. A committee of gentlemen were appoiuted to memoralize Congress, in accordance with the above resolu tions and after some complimentary resolutions the convention adjourned. Dcutli of the Pope. For some time the death of the Pops of Rome has been expected. Last Thursdays dispatches announc ed his death to the world. He was eighty-five years old, had been a Pontificate thirty two years, and for the past eight years he lived under self-imposed imprisonment. lie was the two hundred and sixtv-sec ond Pope in direct succession from Sr. Peter. He was spared to a long old age and his honors are more nu merous than his years. The tidings of his death was received with pain all over the world. He had enemies as other men have but there were none who could produce aught a gainst his personal character. His kindheartedness is known best by the poor and oppressed. It is cer tainly a grand record to have for so many years, benign sway over near 200,000,000 of people all over the world and be loved by all. Not only his own Catholics, but the most ultra Protestant and .he most dovergent sects will regret his death. His career has certainly been a re markable one. No Pope for ages was elected in so short a time as for ty-eight hours and we believe on the fourth ballot. He saw the bishops of the whole world gathered around him five different times, which no other Pope has ever enjoyed. He has beatified an c inonized more souls and erected more ecclesiastical and provincial Bishoprics than nn v other Pope. He is the only Pope for three hundred years who has summoned a general council. lie is the only Pope who has ever reached the years of St. Peter. ile has been favored with six more years. Unless the order of proceedings has been changed by a recent papal constitution, the formalities of the election of anew Pope in the place of Pius IX. will, according to “The New American Cyclopaedia/’ be those Nine days will first be employed in devotional exercises for the repose of the soul of the deceased Pontiff, the ninth day being that of his funeral On the tenth day ihe Cardinals will assemble in the Sistine chapel, where a mass in honor of the Holy ghost will be celebrated by the Cardinal Dean. This over, the Cardinal Dean will intone the Vcni, Creator Spiri fus, and the sacred college, with their officers and attendants, will go in procession to that part of the Va tican set apart for their reclusion, immediately rejoining and including both the Sistine and Pauline cliap- els. On their arrival in the Pauline chapd, the Cardinal Dean will chant before the altar the prayer Bens, qui corila fidclium, and the Papal con stitutions on conclaves will be read, all present swearing solemnly to ob serve them Formerly it was the custom to begin from that moment rigorous reclusion prescribed by rite pontifical decrees. In modern times it only commences on the evening of the tenth day. As soon, however, as the signal for the prescribed re* elusion is given all will meet iu the chapel iho oath of fi lelity and secre cy will be administered to concla vists and guardians, and three Car dinals, chosen one from each of the three orders of bishops, priests, and deacons, accompanied by the High Chamberlain and the hirst Master of Ceremonies, will make a scrupu lous examination of every room and corner from cellar to garret, iu order to see that there are no intruders. The only door of communication hav ing been then closed with two strong locks on the outside and two within, the conclave will be foimally begun. The cells in which the electors are simple in their construction and their furnituie. They are draped in pur ple for the Cardinals created by the last Pope, and in green for all the others. The following daily routine will be observed as long its the reclusion last : At 6 o’clock in the mornig a master of ceremonies knocks at the door of each cell to warn the inmate to proceed to the chapel. At 7 the m iss of the Holy Ghost is celebrated after which ali except the Cardinals withdraw. The Cardinal recites the penitential p.-alms and the litany of the saints, and a first vote is cyst. This over the fathers retire to their cells, breakfast, and take a short walk in che open air. At 2 o’clock P. M , they again meet in the chap e for the second ballot, after which th y dine walk oat if they choose, or retire to their respective cells, where a leligous silence is observed after dark. 1 lie Mexican question is still un settled. Minister Foster has given the actual situation to the if. use Commitle. dhe Di; z Government squarely refuses to do anything, un til it is recognized. It claims to be a civilized nation, anti as such it should be'recogniz and without condi tions. No diplomacy can be enter ed on until the I>i z administration is recogn zed. Wi 1 uncle ham i\c ogn ze now, is the que tion. Let us do your Job Work. i Rev, T. DelVitt Talmadgeof New \ ork talks thus of the crushed foe: “Turkey is crushed, Russia is tri umphant and England stands aghast,, said Mr. Talmage. “Fm glad Tur key's crushed. She was an old butcher. The question now is what shall be done with her old carcass. \\ here are the spades long enough to dig a hole deep enough to bury it in? What will England do? If she halts, she becomes second-rate power. If she marches all Europe will be set ablaze. I pray the God of nations to guide her in this trying hour. Eng lan. 1 and the United Slabs stand side by side in the cause of civiliza tion and Christianity. Look at her Bible societies! Lock at her mission ary societies! Look at her cathedrals and her universities, and her throne, the purest in Europe, if not in the whole world! The girl Victoria, kneeling by the side of her ecclesias tical adviser on the night before her coronation, made vows to God and to England, not one of which has she ever broken. (Applause.) I have no admiration for Turkey’s conqueror. Russia has been suffering and sneer ing at the Church for years. Where is Poland? Where are the myriads of human beings who Lave been strang led under her cruel iron heel? Rus sia has been one of the worst oppres sors of the human race that ever ex isted.” NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
