J. D. HOYL.EDI TOR.
Dawson, Man'll 1880.
l'ri'pariiif: far the Conflict.
The two great partita of the count 17
are beginning to prepare for the race
for the presidency which takes place
during the cowing summer and fall.—
Meetings have already been ealled in
many of the states to select delegates
to the national conventions to be held
at Cincinnati and Chicago. The Dsiuo
eratic Executive Committee of Georgia
meets st Atlanta on the 30th iust., to
prepare for action in this state.
It is now generally conceded that
Grant will be the candidate of the re
publicans. They will run him bcca'ise
they believe that he is the strongest
man they have, and also because they
think he is the man to seat himself by
force, should the race he close and
doubtful as it was in 1866. Many re
publicans, however, are said to oppose
bis Domination because they are opposed
to a third term, and because they fear
that his election will lead to imperial
ism, and it is thought that this opposi
tion will, by many, be carried to the
extent of voting against lriru. should he
be nominated. If there be any such
republicans, as alleged, we presume,
they are among the more conservative
intelligent and patriotic members of
that party.
It is now said that Samuel J. Tilden
has positively declared that he will
not be a candidate for the democratic
nomination. We hope the rumor is
true. The sympathies of the party are
with Tilden, because of his having been
defrauded of the seat to which he was
elected in 1866, but we believe that it
would not be good policy to nominate
him again. His unfortunate quarrel
■with John Kelley and the Tammany
ring, of New York city, would proba
bly cause bis defeat in that state, and
he certainly would not draw any votes
from republicans unsatisfied with Grant.
If Grant is the republican nominee, it
seems to us that it would be good poli
cy for the democrats to offer to the
country a man that honest men of all
parties can vote for; a man against
whose character nothing can be found.
The democrats have several sucli men,
but, in our opinion, the best and most
available one of them is Thomas F.
Bayard, of Delaware.
Simmons Rejected.
The Rev. Mr. Simmons, who was
nominated by ITayes to be supervisor
of ttic census for one of the upper Geor
gia districts, and who wan'ed the office
because it would be to him a triumph
over corrupt secession traitors, has
been rejected by the United States Sen
ate by a vote of ten in favor of him to
twenty-nine against him, many repub
licans not voting. Senator Hill made a
long speech in favor of Simmons’ confir
mation and Senator Gordon a short one
against it. Only one democratic Sen
ator, besides Mr. Hill, voted for Sim
mons - This is as it should be, and is a
severe and deserved rebuke to Hill,
Stephens and Felton
Congress has had some pretty lively
work recently. The committee that
has been so long’investigatingthe title of
Kellogg, radical senator from Louisiana,
to his seat has reported in favor of un
seating htm and giving bis place to
Judge Spofford, democrat. Kellogg
will probably have to step down and
out.
In passing a bill appropriating money
to pay United States marshals and dep
uty marshals for services at elections,
the democrats placed a rider on it that
hereafter marshals appointed for such
service shall be taken equally from all
political parties, so that the rads will
perhaps not longer be able to control
and manipulate elections by means of
their own officials.
The Grand Army of the Republic

and widows of its deceased comrades,
nud thus throws over these helpless
ones the broad sheild of the protec

The sad fate of the ten little babes of
General J. B. Hood, (who lost a
fortune of over SIOO,OOO by the sud
den depreciation of the State bonds
of Louisan a, and whose wife and
himself died of yellow fever in the
•ame week last summer at New Or
leans, has prompted the soldiers who
were under his command to announce
their adoption, but it is probable that
ft better guarantee for their care, nu
ture, support and education is afford
ed by the publication of the great
book of the war, (the fullest history
of the inside, so far, from the Confed
erate side,) left by General Hood, and
new published by General Beaure-1
gard on behalf of “The Hood Orphan
Memorial Fund,” which is carefully
invested in the loansof the United j

Atlvice to School I toys
Knowing that school boys as a class
arc always conscientious and anxious
:to do their duty. I give you a little
advice. W hen you come into the
'school-room, if it is a muddy day, be
sure to carry all the mud you can on
your feet, because some of the others
might forget to carry any, and then
the floor would not look pretty and
neat. After carrying the mud in, the
the next duty rs to yell as loud ns
possible when the bell rings, especial
ly after you get into the house, as
t here might be some ladies about and
they would enjoy it so much. Try
t > imitate ti e donkey as nearly as
you can. Should your lungs not be
strong enough to bray like that en-
viable animal, strive to imitate the
gorilla, as lie is the next most intelli
gent animal. Be ambitious, always
imitate the most sensible. After per
forming these duties, the next is to
whisper and move ibout as much as
possible. So as that things w'dl not
lie monotonous, be sure to cut your
names on the desks between times.
You know desks were made to cut
the names of distinguished individu
als on, otherwise it might never be
known that they ever existed. Look
around, and injure things generally,
otherwise you might not get the
worth of your money.
Don’t fail to stamp the floor when
ever an opportunity offers ; that will
show that you cultivate your heels—
in other words, be progressive, al
ways keep your heels in advance of
your head.
Don’t forget to slam doors as hard
as possible, it will reflect credit on
your training—well bred bersons al
ways make a noise. Enliven the time
with tatling, don’t study, but spend
your time watching your schoolmates
so as to find something to report to
the teacher, which will not only an
noy him, but also disconcert your
school fellows—thus observing the
golden rule. Make as much noise
whispering as you can, because if you
cannot emulate the bee in industry,
you can in a buzzing noise.
After performing all these duties
at school, then go home and report
all of the teacher’s shortcomings to
your parents; don’t tell them that you
are just as aggravating and disobedi
ent aiul impolite at school as you are
at home, but tell them how impatient
the teacher is—how unreasonable he
is, not to permit you to do these things
I have mentioned, and what a piece
of assurance it is in the teacher ever to
be tired or worried at anything you
cherubs do ( I. Kony.
Tiik Albany Advertiser says:
Never such flattering prospects for
a good crop year before known even
by ‘‘the oldest inhabitant.”
Also the following:
We learn from a reliable source
that a little boy on returning from a
hunting expedition Wednesday eve
ning found his little sister, three years
ol age, fretting and crying, and gave
her his gun to quiet her. 111 attempt
ing, afterwards, to take the gun from
the child, it was accidentally discharg
ed, the contents entering and killing
a little girl about eleven years old.
The little victim was so horribly
mangled as to cause her entrails to
protrude. She lived about three-quar
ters of an hour after the gun was fired.
All the parlies are colored, and lived
out at Judge L. I’, D. Warren’a place,
about four miles south of the city.
The Wool Question —Groat Ex
citement and Anxiety.
There has not been as much inter
est manifested in wool in this section
since 1871 as there is at present.
One ol the largest buyers in the
Slate, with headquarters at Albany,
was in Ha-wkinsville last week, and
expressed it as his opinion that wool
will reach forty cents a pound in thir
ty days. He informed us that Geor
gia wool was selling in Boston a few
days ago at forty-six coins a pound.
The gentleman we allude to is now
engaged in establishing agencies tit
various points in the wiregrass belt.
Tie has secured a reliable party in
Hawkinsville to represent his house
in the pnrehrse ot wool, and, with
plenty of money and the lively com
petition that is bound to ensue, llawk
insville may be expected to give the
highest prices. Last season a small
, quantity of wool was shipped to
Hawkinsville from Forsyth and
Barnesville, Hawkinsville being the
leading market of the State, and the
wool was shipped hence to Boston
direct.
It seems that the Northern facto
l ies have given orders for so much
wool, and their agents have com
menced operations early in the sea
son. There is no doubt that the wool
speculators are well informed as to
the amount of wool that will be rais
ed not only in Georgia, but in every
other State. They keep better post
ed than the cotton speculators, and
can calculate the quantity of wool
that will be offered in the different
markets with great ease and exact
ness.—Hawkinsville Dispatch

Struck by Lightning.
From 1860 to 1877, inclusive, 194
deaths (159 of men and 35 of women)
from lightning are returned hy the
Kegister-Genural as having occurred in
England. But these returns are ad
luittedly incomplete. In Prussia dur
ing the same period of time, with a
population exceeding that of England
and Wales by only some five per cent.,
according to a report from the Statisti
cal Bureau of Berlin, 1004 deaths were
caused by lightning. In the forty-nine
governments of European Russia 4,510
death are recorded from tins cause
within five years, and 4,1:29 tires are
attributed to the same meteoric agency.
It has been demonstrated as a positive
certainty that Warner’s Safe Kidney
and Liver Cure is a lightning remedy
for hr glits, disease of the kidneys, and
other ailments of kidneys and liver.
Heavy for Ilats.
The Telegraph and Messenger: A
remarkable and perhaps unprecedent
ed combat took place at Bostick’s
mill, near Pedee, N. C., on the 9th.
It seemesthat. General Bostick and
one of his employees, Anderson Way
les, went into a corn house which has
been stored with corn for nearly
twelve months, and which has been
closed for that length of time. After
getting in they found the place was
literally alive with rats, which begun
to attack fiercely the two men, who
invain attempted to beat them off.
The rats came upon them in droves,
biting them about the hands and legs
several actually getting under Way
ley’s shirt. Both men cried for help,
and were rescued from their perilous
position. The whole of General Bos
tick's left oar was eaten off, and his
face horribly bitten. Wayles’ nose
and lips were so badly bitten that his
best friends could not recognize him
and his left eye was torn from its
socket.
Gospel Echoes.
This line collection of Sunday
School music hts had an immense

Rei.tef for Ireland —The United
States ship Constellation, at U*
Brooklyn navy-yard, began last Mon
day to receive its cargo of donations
of food for the famishing Irish poor.
►This vessel was set apart by a joint
resolution ot Congress authorizing
the Secretary of the Navy to fit. out
a ship to convey such donations of
food as might be made to Ireland free
of cost to the donors. Contributions
of flour, oatmeal, seed potatoes, corn
meal, pork, bams, fish, beans, and
any other sort of food that will keep
will be received, and anything sent
in this way will be delivered immedi
ately to the sufferers, on the spot,
and without father cost. A benevo
lent citizen of New York lias agreed
to furnish one-fourth of the cargo, and
the New York Herald will provide
another fourth on condition that the
remaining halt is made up from oth
er sources. With these liberal offers
it is reasonable to suppose that the
Constellation will very soon be stow
ed and ready to sail.
