Bosre people arc disposed to censure Judge H.flyer for bis strict construction ideas of tbe law, at advanced in his charge to tbe jury in tbe Hill-Simmons case. Yet, while our sympathies are with Uill, we believe the Judge ia right. Eugene Louis Jr an Joerrn, Prince Im perial of France, was the son of the Kmpe* ror Napoleon 111. anti tbe Empress Eugenie, and was 23 years old March 16 last. On tbe fall of the empire be fled to England, and lived in retirement at Cbisdburat. In tbe final examination at the Woolwich Military Academy, in 1875, he took high honors. A SYRDICATK was formed in Pnlaski, Teon., a few days ago to deal in cottoo fu tures. The extent of capital, ooc hundred and forty-five thousand dollars, was invest ed io Nashville. A few days after tbe syn dicate was telegraphed to remit aeventy five dollars more to cover a decline, where upon they met and resolved that: “Fu taiea trom a pefeologieal standpoint, or from a prospective altitude, are an impend ing humbug, and that the auo of doomsday will eet before we impinge any more scads upon tbe fitful changes offered by theae bloated nabobs and cotton mouthed reptiles af the Nashville Ootton Exchange.” Fins Yield or Wheat — Wearc inform ed by a yoong gentleman ol tbe citv that an acquaintance of hia in Gordon eounty bad a hundred acres ia wheat, and that it was thought it would yield at least 4.000 bushels, and that another gentleman in tbe same sec tion wou’d raise about 40 bushels to the acre ort his.— Rome 1 ribvuit. If ooe-balf the accounts we hear of tbe grain crops in Georgia be tree, it may be aafe to conclude that there will be plcoty of bread for all, notwithstanding the large area coveted by cotton. It is a good sign that real icdrpt Defence is not impossible. The Wild Land Question. The Wild Land Committee are industri ously at work, and will be able to make an early report to the Legislature. Of this com mit!'e tbe Atlanta Dispatch says : "Thev mept early in the morning, work nntil dinner, and after dinner resnme their labors until six o'clock.* The Invent igstions are thorough and minutp, and when ready to report to tbe L“gislature will show the many thousands of dollars tbe State hss been swin dled oat of, into whose bands it bss gone, and why it is retained. It is a gigantie un dertaking, and probably some of tbe mud sill facts will never be reached. Ff the com mittee were to close their labor* to-day, they have done e'ongh to forever merit the support and good will of their constituents, fßr they have traced the State’s moDey into certain parties hands, and will be able to show the State where it i».” Every friend of the Comptroller General will be pleased to hear this. They desired, aa be himself did, that an exhaustive invest igation Into the whole qnestioo should‘be had, and the appointment of this committee was nothing more than a simple act ot jus tice toward one who was honestly endeavor ing to discharge a moat embarrassing duty. That persistent f Sorts have been made to entangle the Comptroller in some way or other with the irregnfarities of this wiM land business, is too evident to admit of the ghost! of a doubt; that this officer is blameless, so far as intentional wrong is concerned, his triendb will believe until the contrary is clearly proven. So far as human sagacity can avail, the wrongs which have grown out of these wild land transactions do not lie at tbe door of the Comptroller General. Tbe various printid articles which, in the simili tude of charges, have at stated periods been scattered over the State, have doubtless emanated from some irresponsible source, or was the out-crop of defeated aspirations This may not be tbe case in the piesent in stance ; but certain it is it often bnppens that disappointment will go a long way in urging its victim to seek satisfaction by "ways that are dark and tricks that are vain." But we have an abiding faith that tbe committee appointed for this purpose will, without fear, favor or affection, investigate this whole matter thoroughly. It should be sifted to the bottom. The tax-payers of Georgia must be satisfied. Public opinion must be sett ltd. Those who have swindled the State hy spccalating oa either tbe ignor ance or the necessities of others should be brought to condign punishment. The inno cent should no longer remain under the ban ot mistrust or suspicion. The report of tbe committee will make everything clear—a result which the Comptroller desires above all things. , Tan Wieklt is on the side of justice always. It desires that praise or condemna tion be meted out to those »ho deserve the one or the other. If men abuse official sta tion by arts of illegality, punish them ; if they are true to their trusts, give them the benefit of it. This is what we aim at. If tbia role be followed, our opinion is that tbe Coroptrnllei General will come out of this matter most triumphantly. A Bavaok Indicteent. —Yet a little while I and the Gerrpia Legislature will Ire in extra : session. For what purpose? To attend to the business ol the State and assist the peo ple? No. To work for their own private interests and the interest of their friends? Ye*. To endeoror to put down crime and sin and build np the benign influences of love and morality ? No. To attend the operas, wait on fast women, hang around faro banks, drink whisky nnd curse their constituents? Yes. To be true to their constituents and vote and work to their interests ? No. To sell their votes and services to scheming rogues and politicians, in order to put np at the big hotels and pay their whisky and other intemperate bills? Yes.— Convert Weekly Our contemporary is too severe. Grant ing that there is a modicum of fact amid all this fiction, it will not be denied that there are a large number of members—onr imme diate Representative among the number — who are not guilty of the above charges They are good men, having at heart the in terest of their constituents, and hence are exempt from the sweeping besom so rudely bandied by our spleeny brother. Give eacb mnn bis due, at all events—don’t condemn the entire body because a few do wrong. John T. Grant and C. A. Nutting, who signed with “Uoncst John” Jones his bond as State Treasurer, and against whom, as securities, a verdict was given at the recent trial in Fulton Superior Court for $92 500. have memorialixed the Legislature to relieve them from the obligation than incurred. They claim that the bood in qnestioo was only temporary, to last until Jooes could make another. They further claim that a second bond was made, duly signed and accepted, and in view of this fact they con tend that the first bond was thereby annulled. If this be true, why did they not take up the first bond when the second was made ? They are both estate financiers, and it seems a little singular to us that they would allow such an important paper to remain in the hands of the Executive after they bad re ceived their discharge as securities. Th* Belt— Weston woo the champion ship in the great walking match which ended in London on last Saturday night. This brings the valued trophy back to America.

For ten years he has been blind, but has earned a good living in various ways. It is an exception to tbe rule, certainly, and rt is a pleasure to record it. May the old mao lira long and be happy. Conklin* and La mar. The little dispute bdween Oonkling and Lamar in ihe Senate tbe other night is thus described by tbe racy eorres|)ondent of the M aeon Telegraph and Messenger : The Radical filibnsfers, led by the New York turkey cock, who grows more and more insufferably insolent and unmannerly every day, fought the passage of the army bill with characteristic vigor #nd venom, and vied with each other in septng who could be more offensive if) tone and manner*. -Their leader wag even more discourteous and ruffianly in hi® bearing than usual. He has the manners, or rather the laek thereof, of u blackguard and on this occasion seemed de termined to defy all rivalry. It was twenty minutes [test midnight when Conkling got on hi® feet and lannched into a fnrious diatribe against Mr. Lamar for coll ing op his Mississippi river commission bilj In-the morning and thn®, as he charged, acting in bad faith by taking up time that should have been devoted to debat ng the army bill. Mr. Lamar at once rose and said that if Oonkling charged him with bad faith, or implied had faith against him, "l say to the Senator from New York”—taming ard looking steadily at the turk'y cock—“that he ia gnilty of a falsehood which I repel with all the ceritempt I feel for its author." This so astounded the Senate that not a word whs uttered. Mr. Lumar sat down mid Conkling arose and called, “Mr Presi dent” several times. The chair (Mr Cock rell) replied, “The chair has r cognized the Senator from New York twice” Conkling was too much excited to know wbat happened, and in a tiembling voice he said, “Mr. P ref'.dent, 1 didn’t hear what the member from Mississippi said in the begin ning, but if 1 under.-tood him aright, he churged me with intentional misstatement, or implied it. W hat did the member Isom Mississippi say ?” Mr. Lumar arose and addressed the Chair. The Choir —Does the Senator from New York yield to the Senator from Mississippi 7 Conkling made no answer, aud twice -Vr. Lnmnr asked if he yielded Conkling turned his back and said he would not hold furl Iter communication wiih the member from Mis sissippi. Conkling understood the member from Mississippi to say in plain, unparlia mentary language, that what he said was a lalsehood “I have only to say (this not be ing tbe place to measure with any member the capacity to violate tbe rules of the Sen pte.) 1 have only to add that if the Senator, the member from M ississippi. imputed to u»p, or intended to impute to me a falsehood, nothing except tbe fact that this is the Sen ate would pre vent me from denouncing him as a blackguard and a coward [Applause ] Let me be more specific. Should the Sen ator from Mississippi, in the presence of tbe Senate, charge me by intimation with telling a falsehood, 1 would denounce him as a blackguard, n coward and a liar (This created a decided sensation, and Mr. Conk ling continuing said :) But as I understand it, the rules of the Semite ate the only re s'raints.” Conkling sat down. Mr. Jjtimar waited half a moment and deliberately said : “I have only to say to the Senator from New York that he understood ase correctly. I «nid precisely the word he understood me My language was harsh and unparliamen tary, and I beg pardon of the Senate for it, bat my language was such as no good man would deserve and no brave man would wear " This was applauded. When Mr. Lamar sat down, tbt chair waited apparently for Mr. Oonkling to reply, but the latter, after a moment’s waiting, simply asked, “What ia the question before the Senate T’* and the filibustering proceeding® were resumed. After making bis response to Conkling, and before sitting down, Mr Lamar, in order that no mistake might be made, said that he did intend to c’ arge Conkling with deliber ate falsehood, and that was what he intended to say when the latter refused to heir bm. Conklir.g will, of course, content himself with this, “you ate another,” response to tbe brand which Mr. Lamar publicly put opon him, and it may even win him «ome renown among the old women and littfc boys of his section, but it doesn’t wipe out the blister of having ottered a falsehood and been told of it. His eomb is cut, and henceforth this turke? cock ought, if be has any shame, strut and ruffle a little less. To make matters worse, that special female friend of whom I recently wrote was in tbe gallery, and wit nessed her knight’s disgrace She remained until 3 o’clock thia morning, and when she left was escorted to her carriage by Conk ling. Let us hope, in pity’s name, that the suweeded io pouring some balm into tbe weraods 4-' the crestlallen bully. Orit'&M utfa correspondent states that has announced him self as a candidate for Comptroller-General.

Miss., yon can see two or three small brown strnc'ore®, a grove of pines, and tbe white vista of vanishing railway track glittering with millions of minnla refractions of the bright sunshine for miles along its jwndv wav. Taking tbe half perceptible roadway to your right, ten or fifteen minntre’ walk through the pines brings vou to the beach Here yon see a house built in the Biry fash ion of this region of perpetual sunshine. This is the residence of the Rev. Dr. Lneock. an aged Episcopalian clergyman, once Chaplain to the Duke of Cambridge B yond the reverend gentleman’s estate you see fionting the beach another relate, tbe residence ot Mr. Davis. Entering the gate, you pass across a lawn dotted with live oak and otbpr trees, fes toonrd with the picturesque Spanish moss. Before yon is a low and spacious mansion pa nfed white, wi'.U broad verandahs. ,4 1 either side, a trifl* nearer the fence, is a small building, a sort of pavilion. White resting on the verandah, waiting for yonr letter of introduction to he handed to the master, your eye takes in tbe hospitable pro visions for ease afforded by several comfort able rocking choirs, a table, and a settee. Life here is all fresco. The broad hall which goes through tbe house is open to tbe breeze, but not to the ardent snn whose rays are intercepted b>’ tbe verandah. Here, on the front vpnmdah! sits of a morning the ex-President of the Sou'h, in fnll view of the Gulf of Mexico, that dazzling, radiant expanse of shimmering blue Its summer wave^ glide softly, to break in lulling sound nponflhe whitu and sparkling sand The breeze is laden with the strange perfume ol the sea. It is the land of tbe lotus eaters, where ’tis always afternoon. Sitting on this verandah, into what reveries may not the Confederate ex-President fall, as be gazes out upon this Mexican gulf, which, hud the dream® of the Southern statesman been real ized, would have fe en the inland sea of a mighty empire, stretching to the tropics. 1 was soon summoned to the little pavil ion to the right of the This build ing is divided into two parts The rearward is occupied by an ancient and favorite nfgro servant, whose idea of housekeeping is to display his furniture a iw toois jjb his liitle verandah. He has n notionmf raising vege table odds and emit in borre, and his vaga ries excite but a «mi!e. No one dreams of interfiring, even for the sake of order, with tbe privileges of this ancient servitor Tbe front portion of the pavilion is occupied by Mr. D»vis as a library and study Here I found him, slightly indisposed and lying upon a lounge. His manner is genial and very kindly, with that charming courtesy carac teristic of the high-bred Southern gentle man. Seventy years of age, Mr Davis has yet a fresh and vigorous look. His hair, mous tache and whi-kers. are white in part, but his eye is bright and cheerful. His face in repose is almost severely intellectual, but the smile which lights up his mouib and his quiet, cheerfol langh dispel the first impres sion of coldness. Few of our public men have the quiet fascination of manner, tbe old-fashioned giace, and tbe charming con versational powers of Jefferson Davis. His memory is capacious and retentive. Oue might, with a facile phonographic pen, col lect. great stores of reminiscence from his lips.— Boston Herald Norfhern “GusH.” Under the head of “Bentimcnt and Com mon Sense,” the New York Evening Post s iys : “Is it not time for common sense to take the place of sentiment in political mutters 7 The Sooth has acted more coolly and more wisely than tbe North in this respect. The Southern people made up their minds to come back quietly into tbe Union, and they declared their intention to conform to the Constitution and the laws. But they did not ‘gush’ about it. Tbe Northern people might well have stndied their examp'e. The South has come back to live quietly on grounds of practical interest. On these grounds it has become solid. -Vooid not the North have been more solid if it had been morp practical ? Nowhere is there a rm»n of influence in the Sontbern States who has professed to love the Unifui fo'r its own sake. 1 Was it to be expec|,ed%*at hp should do so? Hive not men in the Northern States protested too much to love the ex- Confederates for tbeir own sake?” The South has certainly never asked «the Noth to “gush” over the return of the fos* mer to the Federal household There was no “prodigal son” business about, that return. The Sooth came back unwillingly, and neither expected nor desired ring, robe or fatted calf. The Southern people tougbt for independence and were beaten. Tney ac cepted the arbitrament of arm* honestly if not cheerfully. “They declared tbeir inten tion to conform to the Constitution and the laws,” which is all that can be demanded of them. They never “professed to love the Union for its own sake,’’ and would have been hypocrites if they bad. Obedience i« one thing, affection quite another. Tbe government has a right to insist upon the first ; no right to insist npon the last. Southern people only ask Northern people to let them alone. They have got a gieat deal of work to do. and not ranch to do with. All their time and strength is needed in tbe struggle for subsistence; in the effort to re gain a -mull portion of the prosperity lost by tbe war. They have do leisure for “gushing” themselves, and do not care to be the objects of it. The Soaih has. as tbe Post very sen sibly says, “become solid on grounds of prac tical interest.” They have no more polities than are necessary for self-preservation. Whatever “sentiment” they had has beeo pretty well knocked out of them, and >n its sired they have got “common sense”—a much more valuable possession, which they are trying to use. If allowed to do this they can get along without the “gush.” —St Louis Republican.

The groom was an Englwhman who could no* understand a word of German, and the bride was a Germnnpss who could not understand a word of English. The courtship of these antipodal people was fully as remarkable as their anion. It was carried on a unit nut friend, a yonng German who ws* versed’in the mysteries of English, and who interpreted the gnt'urals of Ihe two dialert* into tfie beautiful lan guage of love. It was nreessa ftv a hr ef courtship The d fficolty of rendering the thooghta of each onto the other wonld 'end to shorten the matter, and then the wear and tear on the interpreter would preclude a very long siege. To-repeat to her the words of devotion frwn tbe lover were easy enough, and her tenderness in return were not im possible tasks, bot the dimaxe* took his strength.

Thova® Jurraßsnu's Grave— A corres pondent of the Boston Journal thus describes the grave 01 Thoma® Jefferson,at Monticello, Va : We were surprised, and looked in vain ior something to remind us of the rest ing place of 1 lie author of the Declaration of Independence, but, on alighting and pass ing linough the underbrush for u few steps, we found ou r stlves brought face to face with the most desolate of burial plates The spot was originally surrounded by a brick wall, through which an iron gate furnished admit tance. hut the wall has been entirely torn down, and the gate lies prostrate The in closu'e is from two to three hundred feet square and ibere are some twenty graves, wheie rest the descendants and relatives of Jefferson. S une ol the graves are marked by heud.-tonea. but some are without any m*rk. though several burials have taken pfuee since the war, and one grave seemed to be freshly sodded. Jiffi-rson’s grave is m rktd by a rough granite monument,, square, and about filter o teet in height, upon which is placed a cone-shaped block ol gianile. The corners have all been broken off by visitors ; t ere is no name upon it, the plate which evidently was once in the stone having beeD removed, but upon the base near the ground was tbe dale of bis birth and death in rude letters. Tuere are several large trees growing within ttie euetosure, and tbe whole is surrounded by untilled laud and underbrush. Orioin or Champaqnk—ln 1688 a cer tain monk named Prrignon was in«d<' celhier of the Benedictine Abbey,of Haut Vilfers, a little hamlet oo the banks of the Marie, about five miles from Ejiirray, Prance, who wa9 a p“rlcct godsend lo I tie wine-bibbing world. He was the fi st to marry the pro duce of one vineyard to that of another ; to find out that a white wine which would keep good could be made from the blackest grapes, instead of degenerating, like that ob tained from white grapes and to substitute cork as a bottlp stopper for fl ix dipped in oil Just at the close of the 17th century he achieved his finul triumph of producing effervescent champagne. Why it sparkled he knew Dot, but the secret spread over the country, until in 1878 the official return of the ruenrrfueuwers’ stocks in the Champagne district, as given ny the chamber of com merce at Rheims, is 70 183 863 bottles.
