Smagce, of Rbcde Island, Blade an attack upon Senator Conkling last week, charging undue intimacy with bia wife as the cause. It is the richest thing of the season up North, ar.d the Utica statesman and the pretty Mrs. S. are greatly scandal ised. Eighteen months ago Augustus Ri-che was a poor mao in Chicago. He took Greeley’s advice and went West, to Colo rado—struck it “rich”—came home—saw and fell iu love with a pretty shop-girl— married. On the eve of his marriage be presented the bride with 9100.000 iu Gov ernment bonds, besides valuable jewelry. The Sweet Potato —Mr. Dowse Brad well, writiug to the ninesrille Gazette, thus speaks of a variety of sweet potato known as ibe ‘‘Providence.” This is said to be so excellent that it bids fair to corns into more general use than any other kind : This variety ol the potato, the origin of which is remarkable, deserves some notice. A missionary among the Indians io the Everglades found a potato vine in an old field. From this single vine he obtai ed potatoes enough to subsist upon, UDd small ooes for seed. These he gave to a friend, and in that way the potato was int oduced. Mr. M. assures us that from five potatoes Ibirty bushels were gathered the firs’, season, in six weeks from the time they are planter! potato™ large enough ior table use can be obtained. V\ beu new, the taste is very sim /mr to tue old yam, being very s»e<tand «teti(ute ol ibe tar.o/ »tu> rtlfr „ u Thc Apotheosis of Murder.” Undpr this head a Northern paper prints an admirable article on great crimes and criminals—showing that instead of being regarded by the people with terror, these criminals and their nets possess a fascinating Dower that causes them to become heroes. It also gives the remarks of one Rev. Mr Dickerson daring the delivery of u sermon, in which the speaker stated that he had vis ited Christine’Cox. the marderer of Mrs. Hull, and “thal he was forced to say that Cox was not nnderstood by the public,” The pr acher then added the following, which addenda will form the foundation of our re marks i “My friends, that man stands alone. The people who come to see him are those who come out of curiosity, and care nothing for the soul that is so soon Io he ndiered into the presence of the Almighty Cox has gone to the Fa'her of all, and pleaded for pardon through the Suviour. He has received that pardon and is saved. * * * His seeming intliffirence to his impending fate is the God-given consciousness that when hi earthly career is done he will lie taken into the kingdom o( the merciful Father, who never forgets the promises He has made to erring souls. He seems happy because he is happy, because his soul has been washed clean by the blood of the Lamb.” Our sentimeut* to a nicety, with this un important difference—we do not believe any thing of (be sort. Now, we must not he misundcTltood. ‘The blood of the Lamb” can wash away all sio The foulest can be made clean. The ‘'chief ol sinners’’ can be regenerated and made pure. Every man and woumo who humbly kneels at the foot of the Cross muy obtain the forgiveness of sin. And this applies to all alike—the rich and the poor, the high aud the low—und we thank God for it. Admitting nil this, however, and a good deal more should it be necessary, we ate not by any means prepnred to believe that every man who mukes loud professions and utters boisterous or rehemeot declarations of piety, change of heart and all that, ig one whit better off thun the man who lies down and shuffles ofl this mortal coil quietly, without sayings word. No; it is hurd to believe that all are guiltless, and have entered into newness of life. It is butrl to believe that every murderer is innocent, nor can it he reconciled to truth that the hundreds of blood-stained criminals whose hands are reeking with innocent blood, should all at once, when brought face to face with the pillory or the gullnws, suddenly shout glory to God. In many cases it is mockery. In very many instances it is a feeling born of fear, or remorse, or an utter recklessness as to Consequences. Again—we give vent to our credulity in this, that if the evidence of these criminals have weight, not one of them has failed of a place in Paradise—every one has gone straight to Abraham’s bosom True, as we have soid, the ‘ blood of the Lamb” is all sufficient, atid yet when the whole nmtler is looked at in its true light it will be peen that a large amount of moral force most be brought to bear upon the shudder of inno cent blood ere he can be prepared to enter the kingdom, especially with a good stout rope dangling from his neck. Our faith in such professions is lamentably weak. Lastly. The history of this man Cox is precisely that of every other villain. He killed Mrs. Hull for money, (as he himself says,) was captured, tried, convicted and sentenced to die. He feels no interest in the matter, having obtained "peace.” All he had to do was to make known his desires to his Maker, and this atrocious wretch, who murdered an innocent woman iu oolrl blood for a pair of ten dollar ear-drops, was forth with forgiven for that and all other sins! He is now saved. His guilty soul is washed, ami he is “happy—because he is happy!” This may be all true, but as it took a spec ially appointed stroke of lightning to con vert Paul, the great man of the New Testa ment, who never killed a woman, it is our opinion some sort of special agency should be used to convert and save the numerous brutes iu the shupe of men now in the pris ons of the country, that they may ail go to heaven aud bo eternally saved. Coming Elections. —As a matter of news we present below the names of the States that will hold elections this year, and the officers fo be voted for. These elections may or may not be a true test of what the result will be next year. Ricoirt these references in some good place, and tbe reader may be come pretty well posted : California, September 3, for Staie and judicial officers, four Congressmen, and mem tiers of the legislature ; in Maine, Septem ber 8, for Slate officers and members of the legislature; in lowa and Ohio, October 14 for State officers and members of the Legis lature ; in Maryland, Massachusetts, Min nesota, New York and Wisconsin, Novem ber 4, for S'ate officers and members of the Legislature; in Mississippi and New Jersey, November 4. for members of the Legisla ture; in Pennsylvania. November 4, for Stule treasurer and members of the Legisla ture, and in Louisiana, December 2, for tbe adoption or rejection of the proposed con stitution. A member of Congress, to fid a vacancy, will also be elected in lowa Octo ber 14. Adjournment. —All accounts agree that tbe Legislature will remain in session prttly well all summer. The immense number of bills to be acted on, and other business to be transacted, puts au ear ly adjourumeut en- Investigation Run Wild —Under this head the Albany Advertiser presents some thoughts th it seem eminently deserving pub lic consideration. It says: Wp would not like to say anything on this subject which could he construed into a desire on our part to suppress the fullest □ rid freest inquiry into the official actings and doings of nnv of our public servants, all of which should he snhj.ct to the strictest scrutiny at all times; still there is danger that when oncu the ball has been set in mo tion, even in thp right direction there may be such a thing ns over doing the part ; and the prospects of a little cheap notoriety pre sents an alluring bait to some ntinds to set on font long and expensive investigations, destined in rnanv instances to end in noth ing, except to give thp investigated officials an inpregnable and unassailable character in the futur“ —n circumstance nf which are dly corrupt officer would not be slow to take advantage. An investigation of the kind recently eon eluded in Atlanta and soon to be followed by (our others tind"r the present resolution, is, as it should be, a most thorough and searching inquiry into the public and pri vate life and conduct of the cil z n, and if ordered without adequate grounds for su°pi cion, it is easy to see it may become a most invidious and even tyrannical exercise of authority. It would be difficult for the body in which such a resolution was intro duced to vote it down, and the official, whether innocent or guilty, could only bo silent. School Commissionkr.— Alluding to the progress made by the committee appointed to investigate Commissioner Orr’s depart ment, and of which Hon. W. T. Diekin is clinirnisD, the Atlanta Dispatch “ays : “While tin 1 committee have made no re port. they express themselves abundantly satisfied with their investigations. The truth is, they never expected to find any thing “crooked” in that rfflee, bill desired to find II the expenses could not be curtailed It was said that six thousand dollars was necessary to rut; that office, hut the com mittee found out that only half that snui was expended. It was nbo said that 25 per cent, of the school fund was used in greasing the machinery, but they found out that 7 per cent only was used, and that !)3 per cent, went to the teaching proper nf the children. We have learned some important tacts connected with our admirable school system thot ut some future time we will give onr renders. Suffice now to say the com missioner is the right man in the right place, and his office is the best conducted iu the State.” An Example ‘Go thou and do like wise,” is on udmonitory suggestion to our farming friends after reading tiie following : “Mr. T Y. Pullen, of Meriwethe county, has four ncres of bottom land from which he expects to gather 150 bushels of corn lie has also cotton higher than a man's head, that laps across the rows, which are four feet wide. He has thirty acres of cotton hip high on an average Last year ho culti vuted 36 acres in cotton with twomulesund gathered 21 bales. This year he has 35 ucres and a better prospect. Best of all, Mr. Pullen has old corn of his own rni.-iug in his crib now. raises large crops of cotton and buys no corn. Behold in him a futmer with a level head,” Thr Couriei-Jou' mil, referring to Rev. “Adirondack" Murray, the great preacher of Boston, says he is a “genius," but even a “genius" cannot preach the gospel, edit a religions newspaper, rnn a fuctory, conduct a Sunday-school, drive fa«t horses, trade in blooded stock, be a jockey, fish and hunt, write books, speculate in bonanza stocks, ride a bicycle, play base ball, billiards and poker. The Rtverend "Adirondack” tried to do all these things, and the inevitable crash has come. His piety has been of too general and miscellaneous a churaetcr. Plantation Manners. — YVe agree with the New York World that if a similar inci dent to the Sprague-Colliding affair had occurred in Georgia, a howl would have been at once raised about the elegant pro prieties of “plantation manners.” The cry would have found echo all over the North that nothing better might huve been expect ed from rebels. But as it occurs at the North, why it is only a “social incident.” Such is tbe difference. A YVisr Act—The I rouse, by a vote of 88 to 40 has refused to repeal the law authorizing the inspection ol fertiliz re. This is a wise conclusion. To have repealed the law would open the door to n host of coun terfeits that would have worked gteat harm to our farmers. Xotes from the ( iipitol. Mr. Editor :—The Finance Committee made an adverse report on the bill to relieve Grant and Nutting of the 892 000 judgment held against them by the State ns bonds men of ex-Treasurer Jack Jones. This virtually kills the bill, notwithstanding an effort will be made to pass it over the com mittee’s report. If private individuals go on their fiionds’ bonds and their friends fail to pay, the hw compels th« bondsmen to do so. YY’liv, then, mke an exception in favor of Messrs. Grant and Nutting? Tbe people of Georgia cry aloud for the-pound of flesh.” Quite an animated debate took place over the bill “to prescribe the manner of letting public printing ” It was hotlv argued thal, inasmuch as the citizens of Georgia paid the taxes, they alone should have the right to bid for the contract On the other side, it was be d that tbe Constitution fixed who should hid, in the following language: “The public printing shall be let to the lowest legislation for tbe citizens of Georgia. If they, living within the State, cannot com pete successfully with contractors living outside of tbe &tute, who would have the additional expen*e of express to pay, we say, tb. n, let them lose it. This was Ibe decision of tbe Senate by a vote of 19 yea* ... I Julgo John T. flab rnemori>iliz''s the Legislature, or the citizens of Griffin do through him. asking them tr> defeat the bid to lease the Macon & Brunswick Railroad. Because Griffin may lose a few thousand dollars in trade on account of tbe building of a read Irom Atlanta to Macon, which would develop and improve thousands of acres ar.d enhance the vatu? of real estate from Atlanta to Brunswick, she, in all her seKi-hness ai d disregard for the welfare ol others, asks the General Assembly, for her sake, not to pass this bill. For the same reasons Forsyth is opposed to it ; but one pleasant thought is, this opposition cannot prevent the final passage of the bill. When anyone wishes to know when the Legislature will adjourn, we tell them we scent frost in the air. Goldsmith's trial will actually begin on the 21st instant, and Chief Ju3tiee Warner says he would be glad to know the trial would not take over one month. This, you nb-erve, takes us into the twenties in September. The different investigating committees have not yet struck a bonanza, though a hope of so doing inspires them to researches Vast and thorough. 8. Atlanta, Ga., August 20, 1879. Stockbridge Notes.

I Important to Ilenry County The recent action by the Legislature on the Macon & Brunswick Railroad bill is a matter of material concern to a large por tion of the people of our county. Incorpo rated in tbe measure is a proviso for the building of an extension branch of the said road from Macon to connect with the West ern & Atlantic road at Atlanta, The con struction of such a road has been a long felt necessity by the populous section through which it is destined to run. In the first place, tbe State itself needs a connecting link lor her railroad property, and it has been a matter of surprise to many why she tins not effected this object long ago, with the efficient convict labor which she had at her command. For many years our long sighted people have seen that it would be obliged to be built in order to en hance the value of property owned by the State and covered by ber bonds. Many suggestions have been made as to the prob able route of the road, any one of which will benefit Henry county some degree. One line of survey will probably rnn down the other side of the river, through Rock dale, Newton and Ja-per counties, which is by far the longest and most difficult route. Another proposition is that the road will run down the west bank of the river, which will be costly nud expensive to say the least of it, as w II be any route that is extended by or near the Oemulgee, or crosses that large stream of water. A suggestion has also been made to use portions of the Geor gia and Macon & Augu-ta roads, which if dqpe, w iH cripple to a great extent the very objects which are contemplated by the movants of the bill, and c U t o ff a large scouree of revenue to the proposed line. The most direct and feasible route for the road is through or near the center of our county, running close to Jackson and by the Indian Springs, which would greatly improve the value of the State property known as the “Mclntosh Reserve,” and thence on to Ma con—such a road would be “air-line,” and only about eighty-five mi!e9 in length. It is hardly necessary te say that the exten sion would open up a section as good as any in tbe State, aud the local pationage would greatly ussist the road, in addition to the tnrough freights from Cincinnati to the sea coast. The finest water-power in the South exists on the Oemulgee between Macon ami Atlanta, which of course will be improved it an outlet could be obtained such us the road offers. Not only this, but it would give the people u direct route for their pro duce to the Brunswick port. VY r e hope the bill will pass as unanimously through the House as the Senate, and tUat wirhin the time prescribed by the proviso tbe puffing engine with its attendant train will be seen wheeling its way through our midst to the CmziN. Thb bridge across South River, at B N. McKnighi’s mills eight miles from C-myers, in this county, fell on Saturday evening last. A wagon loaded with the carry-log of a saw mill, drawn by a pair oi oxeu and a mule, the property of B. N. McKuigbt, was cross ing the bridge late Saturday evening, when one span of the bridge fell, precipitating the wagon, loud and dr ver aoool twenty-five feet. Ibe muie was instantly killed, and tbe driver, a negro man, ba.by, though not fatally, injured by the mule falling on him. Strange to say, the oxeu escaped witn scarcely auy injury, while the was badly damaged* I'bc bridge had been examined a shott time since by the OrdtDary and some repairs ordered to be made, but was not thought dangerous.— Cony rs Examiner.

The best informed R - publicans exp>e«s the opinion that this scandal has entirely demoralized and bur ed the chances of the Conkling (action in the fall campaign. Gossip on the Sprague aflair continues very lively, and all the vari ous stories from the press of other cities are n published in the Utica papers. The rela tives of Mr. Conk ling make no mention ol the case in any wav. All the old stories which former indiscretions occasioned are now r.vived and repeated with relish.

Abu't three vears ago the Observer re ported the case of a citizen of this coun'y who. having married in 184.1 lighted a fire on his heirthstonp as soon as he carried bis bride to his new home, and had kept it burning ever since. The citizen w>s in town vesterd ly, and, being questioned about the matter, stated that the fire was still burning, and that throughout all these thirty-six 'ears it had never been allowed to go out. Questioned as to whether or not it made the house uncomfortably hot in torrid wentlter, he said the extra heat thus gene rated was not perceptible, fn reply to an other question, lie said that in summer weather, when it was necessary for comfoil's sake to keep the fire burning very low. be hud to get up frequently at night to replen ish it slightly, but that ho counted this ns nothing when he contemplated the idea of that Bre going out.
